December 2017 Medway & Millis Local Town Pages www.localtownpages.com Page 3 CHAMPIONSHIP continued from page 1 “Coming into the season, I never thought that we’d accomplish this. I do set high expectations, but I was hoping to go .500 in the league and make the tournament,” Mohawk Coach Steve Bailen said. “After those first two games, the girls rallied to come together. I hold them accountable, and they don’t take the criticism personal, they know it’s there to help them improve.” Having only lost three seniors from last year 11-5-4 team Bailen had 11 returning starters taking to the field with experience this fall; none bigger than the team’s tri-captains. Defender Julia Krauss, striker Kaylee Francis and midfielder Taylor Davis made sure they delivered the Coach’s words of wisdom to the rest of the team. “As Coaches, we had to scout out our games and put together a strategy,” Bailen said. “The girls took to the field, put that plan in motion and executed it, while not always to perfection, it was good enough to win.” As the number two seed in the Division 4 South Tournament the Mohawks defeated Rising Tide 8-0, Cohasset 3-0 and Coyle and Cassidy 4-0 to take home the Championship. Millis then went on to outlast Amesbury in overtime 2-1 and Millbury 1-0 for the State Title. With nothing going on in the first half Francis knocked home a Jordyn Ferrantino rebound in the very early minutes of the second half to give Millis the eventual victory. It was Millis’ first State Championship since 1999, when Olivia Zitoli (now the team’s Assistant Coach) was on the squad. Throughout the regular season in the TVL, Millis plays a majority of Division 2 and 3 teams, which helps prepare them for Division 4 tournament play. As the Mohawks took to the post-season the team played their up-tempo style while using their speed, tenacity and high energy from start to finish. “We came in not only focused but with a high degree of confidence,” the coach said. “I always tell them you’re only as good as your last win; you can’t assume anything.” Being able to bring Millis another State Championship was a great feeling for the girls’ soccer team, but the Coach believes it goes further than that. “The Championship was an uplifting experience, not only for the soccer team, but for the entire girls’ programs at the Millis High School. It shows there is light at the end of the tunnel,” Bailen said. “This builds a lot of momentum and enthusiasm with the Millis Soccer Club as well as town support and that of the school.” THE IDE HOUSE continued from page 1 Dr. Ide, ordained in 1814 and married to Mary Emmons, daughter of Dr. Nathanial Emmons of Franklin a year later, moved into the newly built house in 1816. Eleven of their children were born there, five of whom died in infancy. Dr. Ide served on the Medway School Committee until the 1850s and became the first librarian of the West Parish Library at the Parish House. Friendly to slaves, he trained 40 men for the ministry, including his son-in-law Charles Torrey, who became active in the Underground Railroad. Dubrawski says the Historical Society would like the Ide House to be open at least once per week, and they hope to host a Holiday Open House in 2018, where teams of volunteers decorate particular locations in the house. The group recently purchased cataloging software and will work to get all items into its new Past Perfect museum software. Displays would be enhanced by standard labeling on all items, she says, with a scanner ready to go. Volunteers will be needed. “There is lots to be done, and we are very excited and thankful for the opportunity to make Medway’s history central to the community,” says Dubrawski, who joined the group by simply helping out with a newsletter in 2013. “Everyone is welcome. No special qualifications needed. And if you love history and Medway, you are guaranteed to enjoy the experience. The Jacob Ide house is now the property of the Town of Medway, thanks to voters at the Fall 2017 Town Meeting. The site, purchased with CPA funds for $525,000, is slated to become the new headquarters for the Medway Historical Society. For more information on the Medway Historical Society email info@medwayhistoricalsociety.org. In addition to the purchase of the Ide House, Medway voters at the Fall Town meeting voted to purchase the building and 12.497 acres of land at 123 Holliston Street, the current site of the V.F.W. With membership declining, Dennis Crowley explained to voters, the V.F.W. can no longer afford to maintain the property and would likely sell the property. The town’s purchase of the property would avoid any future unfriendly 40B projects on the site, allow the V.F.W. to rent the building for three years at no cost and renegotiate the lease after We beat ALL competitor pricing. 774-287-1133 Dumpsters AvAilAble let us CleAn Out YOur unwAnteD Junk Serving Metro-West and Beyond! $25 off a full truck or dumpster if you mention the local town pages Not to be combined with any other offer 10 years, and the town will gain access to a landlocked 5.5 open space donated to the town years ago by the Peters family, as well as gain another lighted field. In addition to the V.F.W. purchase, town voters voted to borrow $2.8 million for capital projects to improve Choate Park, Oakland Park and Medway Middle School. This parks improvement project was supplemented by a vote for an additional $2 million from Community Preservation Funds for a total project cost of $4.8 million.
