Marijuana Zoning 

to Be a Hot Issue at 

Millis Town Meeting 

May 14 

Medway Pride Day May 19th 

By J.D. O’Gara 

Medway Pride Day will take 

place this year on Saturday, 

May 19, 2018 from 10 a.m. to 

4: p.m. at the Medway Middle 

School (45 Holliston Street). 

In the event of severe weather, 

Medway Pride Day will be cancelled. 

Planning for this year’s 

event, attended by over 2,000 

people each year and bringing 

local residents, businesses 

and organizations in the town 

of Medway together, “is going 

great,” says Sarah Stone, in 

her third year on The Medway 

Pride Day Committee, all volunteer 

Medway residents. 

“We have a lot of exciting 

new things that are going 

to be added (this year),” says 

Stone. “One of the fun items 

is that Medway Animal Hospital 

will be hosting a Teddy 

Bear Clinic. Basically, we’re 

asking kids to bring their teddy 

bear or other stuffed animal to 

Pride Day, and they will perform 

a checkup, and if there’s 

any bandages necessary or any 

improvements that need to be 

made, they’ll take care of it 

on the spot. I’m so excited the 

animal hospital is willing to do 

this. It’s something we’ve actually 

been trying to get.” 

Medway Pride attendees 

will also have a chance to see 

Henry the Juggler perform at 

noon. 

“Then, he’ll be able to stay 

to teach folks who are interested 

in learning the art of juggling,” 

says Stone. 

New musical acts this year 

include Dan Rice, a local high 

school student who leads the

As Massachusetts moves toward 

opening retail outlets for 

marijuana for adult recreational 

use, many towns, such as Holliston, 

Medway and Bellingham, 

have voted to ban retail sales of 

recreational marijuana. Millis, 

after having looked at the issue 

through its Retail Marijuana 

Committee, has not. What remains 

to be seen is how this 

market will be regulated, and a 

zoning bylaw up for vote at the 

May 14th Town Meeting is likely 

to be a widely debated one. 

What is certain is that one 

company, CommCan, Inc., 

owned by Marc and Ellen Rosenfeld, 

will be definitely be opening 

its doors for sale of both medical 

and recreational marijuana in the 

town. 

“We’ve been in it for medical 

for three years,” says Ellen 

Rosenfeld. “In the regulations by 

the state, they allowed people that 

are involved in the medical marijuana 

side, if they had a provisional 

or a final registration from 

the Department of Public Health 

by June 1, 2017, they had priority 

status to transition to adult 

use recreational.” Those groups, 

she says, “can convert to recreational 

even if the town changed 

the zoning for recreational, even 

if they don’t want recreational 

(sales) in zoning IP2.” 

That being a done deal, 

Rosenfeld, whose company has a 

60,000 square-foot growing facility 

in Medway (that is only half 

built out at this point), will be be-

ginning construction of a 3,000 

square-foot retail shop in May at 

1525 Main Street. 

“If this one (zoning) measure 

doesn’t pass at Town Meeting, 

then the moratorium extends 

through the end of the year, and 

I will not be able to open until 

January first,” says Rosenfeld. 

CommCan, Inc., which has 

been growing and harvesting, 

will have products to sell some 

time in June. If they can’t sell 

recreational use marijuana in 

Millis before the end of the year, 

they’ll sell it at their retail location 

on Route 9 in Southborough 

for the time being. 

According to Nicole Riley, 

Chair of Millis’ Retail Marijuana 

Committee (RMC), the 

advisory committee proceeded 

with an abundance of caution 

in preparing recommendations 

for a town approach to retail for 

the Board of Selectmen. 

Riley explains that the RMC 

considered developing an overlay 

district, but, she says, the 

Cannabis Control Commission 

had yet to indicate whether it 

would honor town moratoriums. 

“We thought we didn’t 

have time to develop an overlay 

district,” says Riley. “There 

was concern that they were not 

going to honor moratoriums 

past June first.” 

The RMC, then, voted 4-2 to 

submit a proposed zoning bylaw 

to Selectmen for the May Town 

Meeting vote, with the idea that 

the town could go back and later 

amend the bylaw to include an 

overlay district. 

“We placed all adult recreational 

use marijuana in the ip2 

district,” says Riley. “However, 

we included a 1,500-foot setback 

from certain protected uses.” 

Those protected uses, which the 

group took from the adult entertainment 

bylaw already in place 

for the town, included schools, 

playgrounds libraries, child care 

facilities, video arcades, places 

of worship, and any other facility 

that minors congregate in 

an organized fashion, as well as 

residential districts. 

In fact, those protected uses 

are already in Millis bylaws 

for medical marijuana, with a 

1,000-foot setback. 

Although they realized the 

1,500-foot setback was restrictive, 

the RMC presented the 

zoning bylaw to the Board of 

Selectmen, who at the time 

voted unanimously to send the 

proposed bylaw to the Planning 

Board for public hearing, 

but before that public hearing 

could occur, a potential business 

stepped forward: 617 Therapeutic 

Health Center, which submitted 

a letter of intent to the Board 

of Selectmen that they were interested 

in establishing a medical 

marijuana facility at 1073 

Main Street. 617 hoped to later 

add non-medical manufacture 

and cultivation to the site. They 

discussed their proposal with 

Selectmen on April 2, 2018 for 

a roughly 70,000 square-foot facility. 

Initially, 617 THC hoped 

to include retail in their model, 

but the company indicated at 

the meeting it was prepared to 

convert those plans to a solely 

cultivation and processing facility. 

If 617 THC were allowed to 

proceed as a cultivator and manufacturer 

only, Millis could see 

an estimated $100,000 per year 

Our Ad & Editorial Deadline 

is the 15th of the month, for the following month’s issue 

for the first five years in a host 

agreement with the company, 

and an estimated $150,000 per 

year in tax revenue after that, according 

to Craig Schultze, Millis 

Finance Committee Chair. 

Under the RMC’s proposed 

bylaw, 617 Therapeutics would 

be precluded from operating 

any part of its establishment not 

only due to the 1,500-foot setback, 

but also because the property 

abuts residential property 

and Ryan Family Amusements. 

On April 9th, the Board of 

Selectmen then voted to make a 

couple of changes to the bylaw 

proposed by the RMC. This 

change would offer two setback 

versions, one with a 1,500-foot 

setback for adult use retail and 

the other with a 500-foot setback 

for all other adult uses, 

which would include cultivation, 

manufacturing and testing ability. 

In addition, residential and 

video arcade districts were removed 

from the list of protected 

uses for non-retail marijuana 

business. 

With a vote of 2-1 (McAffrey 

and Macinnes for; Barnes 

against), the Millis Board of 

Selectmen voted to put this 

amended zoning bylaw on the 

Town Warrant. 

On Tuesday, April 10th, the 

Planning Board held a public 

hearing on the proposed bylaw 

and in the end, the Planning 

Board was split in its vote of 

support for it, with two members 

for it, two against and one 

abstaining. 

The next day (Wednesday, 

April 11th), the Retail Marijuana 

Committee met with regard 

to where they stand on the 

proposed bylaw amended by 

the Board of Selectmen. Two

voted for it; two voted in support 

of the RMC version; and 

two voted in support of taking 

the time to come up with an 

overlay district for November’s 

town meeting. At Local Town 

Pages press time, the committee 

was scheduled to meet again on 

May 2nd for another vote. That 

update will be available in the 

online version of this story at 

www.millismedwaynews.com. 

The Finance Committee too, 

has held off making a recommendation 

of its support. At 

press time, the Finance Committee 

had also scheduled another 

meeting with a possible 

vote on May 2nd, following the 

RMC meeting. An update with 

the results of that meeting will 

be available at www.millismedwaynews.com. 

So far, 617 THC is hopeful 

the town will be open to working 

with them. 

“Understanding we have 

been engaged with Millis for 

only six weeks, our initial conversations 

with town officials 

have been very positive,” said 

Richard Gin, CFO for 617 

Therapeutic Health Centers. 

“The potential to revitalize 

1073 Main Street and provide a 

significant economic impact to 

Millis is real and we are excited 

about continuing that conversation. 

The Board of Selectmen 

language allows us the opportunity 

to apply for a special permit 

and engage in a full dialogue 

with the Town.” 

Also on the warrant for May 

is the question of a 3% sales 

tax on all adult use recreational 

marijuana sales, and an article 

setting a limit on the number of 

retail marijuana establishments 

in town. 

What happens moving forward 

with 617 THC, or with 

any marijuana-related business 

in Millis, will entirely depend on 

what voters think, and if committee 

votes are any indication, 

the subject will be hotly debated 

at the May 14th Town Meeting. 

On April 23, 2018, Millis 

BOS Chair Jim McAffrey 

said, “The only board that has 

stepped forward is the Board of 

Selectmen, and that is the warrant 

article (26) to be discussed, 

recommended, or dismissed … I 

would urge people to come and 

hear the debate. There is no 

purer form of democracy than 

theTown Meeting.”

Millis High to Present Screenagers 

& Presentation on Vaping May 23rd 

By Dave Pasquantonio 

It’s called vaping, and you’ve 

no doubt seen it. Someone exhales 

thick clouds of what looks 

like cigarette smoke, but the vapor 

quickly dissipates, and there’s no 

cigarette smell. 

Even if you don’t know what 

vaping is, your kids do. 

The rapid rise in vaping among 

youth is a concern for health professionals, 

parents and educators. 

The Millis Public Schools invites 

parents and community members 

to a Caron Treatment Centers’ 

Student Assistance Program educational 

presentation on vaping 

and e-cigarettes for parents and 

community members on Wednesday, 

May 23rd in the Millis High 

School auditorium. The presentation 

will follow the acclaimed film,

explores the impact of technology 

on children, at 6 p.m. 

For those who have never 

heard of vaping, here is a primer. 

Traditional cigarettes use a 

flame to heat and burn tobacco. 

The user inhales and exhales tobacco 

smoke, and the cigarette 

emits smoke continuously until 

it’s extinguished. 

Vaping is different. Inhaling or 

pressing a button on a vaping device 

triggers it to heat a nicotineinfused 

liquid, which is turned 

into an aerosol that the vaper inhales. 

The user exhales a stream 

of water vapor containing remnants 

of whatever chemicals, including 

nicotine, are in the liquid. 

There are a few parts to each 

vaping device. A cartridge or a 

tank holds the liquid, commonly 

called the juice; a battery provides 

power; coils heat the juice; and an 

atomizer turns the heated juice 

into an aerosol. 

Vaping products are technology 

products that come in a variety 

of shapes and sizes. There are 

“cig-a-likes,” which mimic the 

size and feel of a traditional cigarette. 

Tank systems come with a 

bigger battery and a larger receptacle 

for the juice. Mod systems 

can be customized with not only 

a huge range of juice flavorings 

and nicotine levels, but also heating 

elements, batteries, and other 

tweaks. Using a mod system is 

like taking a traditional cigarette 

and replacing the original tobacco 

with whatever the user wishes to 

smoke, while personalizing the 

amount and intensity of the

smoke with a customized filter. 

Vaping systems come and go 

quickly in the marketplace. A 

few years ago, products by Blu 

and NJOY were market leaders, 

then Vuse, owned by tobacco 

giant RJ Reynolds, took over the 

top spot, with easy-to-use, pricecompetitive, 

and widely-distributed 

products. 

Then came Juul, and this is 

the device that has schools worried. 

Juul hit the market about 

two years ago and saw an explosive 

sales growth through 2017. 

Some estimates show that Juul 

has captured over half of overthe-counter 

vaping retail sales in 

the first few months of 2018. Juuls 

look like USB flash drives, while 

the pods contain the nicotine and 

flavor. The company currently offers 

eight flavors, with each pod 

containing about the nicotine 

equivalent of a pack of traditional 

cigarettes. 

Juul products have become so 

popular that they’ve spawned a 

new verb—kids “juul” instead of 

“vape” (no one who vapes calls it 

“smoking”). The vapor dissipates 

in less than a minute, as does the 

smell. With no residual smell and 

smoke base, the days of catching 

kids smoking in the restroom by 

the tell-tale odor are long gone. 

Vaping can be done so discreetly 

that teachers and parents can 

have no idea that someone is vaping. 

Many schools have reported 

kids vaping in class—the kids either 

hold their breath until most 

of the vapor is gone, or exhale 

into their shirt. If you have kids in 

any middle or high school, they’ve 

no doubt seen kids vaping. 

The FDA reported a 900 percent 

increase in e-cigarette use by 

high school students from 2011 to 

2016, and this was before the Juul 

became so popular. The FDA is 

exploring lessening the amount 

of allowed nicotine in cigarettes 

to a non-addictive level, as well as 

looking at regulations on flavorings 

to lessen the appeal of vaping 

to youth. Although companies 

aren’t allowed to market directly 

to kids, combining flavors like 

“gummi bear” with ad blitzes for 

“back to school sales” certainly 

isn’t going to dissuade kids. 

Officially, kids aren’t allowed 

to buy vaping products. In Massachusetts, 

more than 100 municipalities 

have raised the minimum 

age to buy tobacco products, including 

vaping products, to 21 

years from the state-mandated 

18 years. Most area schools have 

rolled vaping under their tobacco 

regulations, so penalties or restrictions 

for vaping are the same 

as those for smoking on school 

grounds. 

No one is claiming that vaping 

is healthy—but is vaping 

healthier than smoking? Vapers 

say yes, but their reasons are entirely 

anecdotal. Smokers who 

have switched to vaping say they 

feel a lot better and don’t have 

the symptoms that cigarettes 

gave them. It is true that cigarette 

smoke contains thousands of different 

chemicals, including dozens 

of carcinogens, while vaping 

produces predominantly an aerosol 

containing nicotine and a few 

other chemicals. 

But it’s unknown what’s in 

many of the vaping juices, and 

how those chemicals interact when 

used. For example, a juice may 

contain such a small amount of 

lead that’s virtually undetectable, 

but when heated, the vapor can 

contain lead at unsafe levels. The 

same is true for arsenic. These and 

other toxic metals may be coming 

from the device’s heating coils instead 

of the nicotine-filled juice. 

Many of the vaping products are 

made in China, where the manufacturers 

are less than forthcoming 

about their ingredients. 

As vaping products are relatively 

new, and have evolved so 

rapidly, there are no long-term 

health studies. Claims that vaping 

is proven to be drastically safer

College looming on the horizon? 

It was not that many years ago that my child graduated from high school, and as a 

fellow parent, I recall the daunting task of completing all of the various applications 

while simultaneously preparing myself and my child for this huge milestone. As 

someone who has been through it before, I’d like to share with you two things that 

helped me and my family during the process, which may be of value to you. 

For understandable reasons there are now a myriad of government-sponsored 

student loan alternatives, some of which have interest rates approaching 12%. While 

everyone’s situation is different, many parents use a home equity line of credit from 

Needham Bank to cover college expenses. Please consult your financial advisor as 

well as our website for current rates before making any important financial decisions. 

But this may be a way for you to save substantially on the cost of a college education. 

My second suggestion is that your student considers an NB Checking account. 

You’d be amazed at how the hidden fees and ATM charges add up for kids who go 

away to college. As community bankers, we consider things like this because our 

children face the same challenges. With NB Checking and a corresponding NB Debit 

Card, there are no monthly fees, plus free ATM access globally. Whatever another 

bank charges you or your student to use their machine – whether on campus or 

abroad – we will fully reimburse each month. College is expensive enough without 

over-paying for the privilege of using your own money. 

At this time of year, many parents and students are finalizing their college strategies. 

If either of the afore-referenced suggestions are of interest to you, I’d be pleased 

to help. My name is Eric Morse and I invite you to contact me at 781-474-5955 or 

EMorse@NeedhamBank.com, so that I might direct your request to an NB Personal 

Banker. We’d be pleased to meet with you at any of our offices, or at your home or 

office depending on what is most convenient for you. Best wishes and many thanks 

for your consideration.

has been hosting events at their 

locations on the Boston Marathon 

route to provide a comfortable 

place for customers to 

view the marathon with family 

and friends. The idea originated 

with the Bank’s Wellesley location 

at 458 Washington Street 

and grew when Needham 

Bank’s Natick office at 17 West 

Central Street opened in 2016. 

This year, many runners 

could not continue due to suffering 

from severe weather related 

health challenges. Upon 

seeing the big white hospitality 

tents, runners stopped at both 

of the Bank’s locations to seek 

assistance and shelter. Needham 

Bank employees helped over a 

dozen runners, providing warm 

shelter, blankets, dry clothes, 

food and hot beverages. 

“We were all disappointed 

for the runners when we saw 

the weather report for this year’s 

race, but were even more concerned 

when it turned out worse 

than expected,” remarked Sarah 

Tesorero, Needham Bank’s Creative 

Marketing Manager. “As 

the runners came to our tent 

Needham Bank Assists Runners During 

2018 Boston Marathon 

Our home equity loans 

are as YOU nique 

as the reasons that 

you need one. 

Needham Bank employees in the Natick Office with runners they assisted on Marathon Monday 

seeking help, we were more 

than happy to do all we could 

to make them comfortable – 

we wrapped them in blankets, 

turned the heat up, and helped 

them contact their loved ones. 

We did our best to keep their 

spirits high, despite the fact that 

some of them couldn’t go on to 

finish the race, but their determination 

was truly an inspiration.” 

Just a few miles away in 

Natick, the situation was similar. 

“It started with one runner 

from Utah who was unable to 

continue because of hypothermia, 

and then we ended up 

with more runners coming in 

throughout the day. Once the 

runner from Utah was finally 

feeling better, we found out he 

was a nurse and he helped others 

back to health. It was a truly 

heartwarming experience to see 

these people from different states 

and countries helping each other 

and we were just happy to provide 

them with a warm and dry 

location to do so,” commented 

Lois Seymour, Needham Bank’s 

Natick Branch Manager. 

In an email to Joe Campanelli, 

Needham Bank’s President and 

CEO, one of the runners who 

stopped at the Natick branch 

recounted his experience and 

wrote, “Daisy, Lois and others 

quickly took action and provided 

warm drinks, food, blankets and 

Needham Bank t-shirts. They 

are truly angels and have a special 

place in my heart. These are 

the moments when you get a true 

appreciation of what community 

means. Thanks again for your 

team’s love and care.” 

The Bank has received numerous 

texts and emails of 

heartfelt thanks and appreciation. 

One text message sent to 

the Bank included a picture of 

the runner with his medal stating 

he could not have finished 

without the help of the Wellesley 

branch employees. 

“We are so proud of our 

teams in Natick and Wellesley 

for the care and attention they 

provided,” stated Joe Campanelli. 

“We expect nothing less 

from our employees because we 

know how much they care about 

our communities.”

PRESENTATIONS 


than smoking have been widely 

panned. Since kids treat vaping 

and smoking as two entirely different 

activities, they often assume 

that vaping is much safer than 

smoking. 

Nicotine is addictive because 

once it reaches the brain, the 

brain releases endorphins to create 

a brief feeling of euphoria— 

the “nicotine rush.” The rush 

doesn’t last for long, however— 

once it’s worn off, the body looks 

for another rush. 

Vaping triggers the same reward 

centers in the brain as 

smoking. Kids who vape regularly 

become dependent on nicotine, 

and the more they vape, the more 

nicotine their bodies crave. 

Beyond nicotine dependency, 

vaping presents more serious concerns. 

Although over-the-counter 

products like the Juul can’t use 

juices and flavors other than 

what they were manufactured 

with, other vaping products can 

be infused with a wide variety of 

drugs, like THC—the principal 

psychoactive component of marijuana—fentanyl, 

MDMA, and 

other synthetic and organic drugs. 

One thing that’s always been 

true about the world is that it 

changes, often faster than we realize. 

And another is that anecdotal 

evidence should never be used to 

draw sound conclusions. Meetings 

like the one in Millis on May 23 

are excellent ways for parents (and 

concerned kids!) to ask questions 

and become better informed. 

The market may 

be uncertain. 

Accessing your money and 

earning a great rate shouldn’t be.

Help the Medway Lions by Participating 

in the Bottles & Cans Drive 

Saturday, May 5 9 a.m. 

The next Medway Lions Bottles 

and Cans collection will be 

on Saturday May 5 beginning at 

9 a.m. Residents are reminded 

that redeemable bottles and cans 

should be placed at the curbside 

by 9 a.m. the morning of the 

drive. There are also two Lions 

Bottles and Cans sheds either in 

front of West Medway Liquors 

on Main Street or at the recycling 

center. 

One of Medway Lions 

Club’s largest sources of funding 

is the Bottle and Can Drive. On 

a monthly basis, Medway Lions 

* 

members and volunteers collect 

redeemable bottles and cans 

from the community at the curbside 

of homeowners. 100% of 

the proceeds from these drives 

are used exclusively for community 

efforts in Medway. 

The Lions club averages giving 

back about $20,000 every 

year to events and needs within 

the Medway community. This 

money has been used for the 

local food pantries, high school 

scholarships, the summer lunch 

program, live performances, 

and the annual favorites such as

Meet & Greet Moderator Candidates for May 7 Millis Town Election 

Tuesday, May 1, 2018 • 7-8 p.m. 

Roche Bros. Community Room, Millis Public Library 

Get to know the people who want to work to improve our town! 

Brutus Cantoreggi 

I love Millis! My family loves 

Millis! My wife and I moved to 

Millis in 1999 as newly married 

couple. We have developed our 

property into a wonderful place 

to raise our two children. We affectionately 

call our home Blueberry 

Hollow Farm where we 

promote the farming ideals of 

Millis. 

Since my arrival in Millis, I 

have been an active participant 

in our community. I have been 

a member of the Millis Planning 

Board for the last 15 years and 

presently serve as the Chairman. 

I have also been the Town’s Tree 

Warden for the last 16 years. In 

addition, I have also served on 

many committees including the 

Oak Grove Playground, Sewer 

Study, and Sports Fields committees. 

Through the years, I 

have enjoyed meeting many Millis 

families and their children 

through my coaching role. 

As a veteran, I am a member 

and support our local veterans’ 

organizations. 

I have worked for the City of 

Cambridge, the Town of Norwood, 

and the Town of Millis 

in various municipal roles. For 

the past 12 years, I have been 

the Director of Public Works for 

the Town of Franklin. My fulltime 

employment with cities and 

towns in Massachusetts has given 

me a solid understanding of the 

issues and operations of local 

government. 

I am a firm believer in a Town 

Meeting form of government, especially 

for a smaller community 

like Millis. Town Meeting is a 

wonderful exercise in democracy 

that allows all residents to be recognized 

and heard. The most 

important component to insure 

a successful Town Meeting is the 

active participation of residents, 

where ideas are presented and 

shared. The second key aspect is 

the strong leadership of the moderator. 

I am confident that I would 

be able to facilitate a smooth 

and enjoyable Town Meeting! I 

would appreciate your vote! 

Erin Underhill 

My family and I moved to 

Millis in July 2015. We are so 

happy to be a part of this community 

and excited to grow 

our roots here. I currently 

co-lead one of the Daisy Girl 

Scout Troops in town, provide 

doorstep delivery for the 

library, participate in the HSA 

(Home and School Association) 

for Clyde Brown Elementary 

School and am chairwoman 

of the newly created Town 

Meeting Review Committee. 

I really find the Town Meeting 

process fascinating. In college, 

I used Robert’s Rules of 

Order extensively in student 

government meetings. I also 

received a scholarship to travel 

to William & Mary College 

to attend the Floyd M. Riddick 

Williamsburg Practicum 

in Parliamentary Procedure. 

In preparation for this role, I 

have been attending the finance 

committee meetings so that if 

I’m elected, I’ll have an understanding 

of the warrant articles 

and be ready to run the meeting 

the week after elections. 

I’m excited for the opportunity 

to run efficient, and effective 

Town Meetings and encourage 

more participation! If elected, I 

would be the first female moderator 

in the town of Millis.

Glaucoma: What It Is and How to Treat It 

By Roger M. Kaldawy, M.D., 

Milford Franklin Eye Center 

Glaucoma is a progressive 

disease of the optic nerve which 

works like a cable, connecting 

the eye and the brain. Glaucoma 

happens when the pressure inside 

the eye is higher than the optic 

nerve can withstand. The most 

common form of glaucoma is 

silent in the beginning but can 

cause a patient to slowly lose the 

vision if left untreated, starting 

with the peripheral vision. The 

most frustrating characteristic of 

glaucoma is that for many years, 

the loss of vision will go unnoticed 

by a patient. 

Although anyone can get 

glaucoma, some people are at 

higher risk than others. Some 

of the most common risk factors 

include: African Americans, over 

age 40, people with a family history 

of glaucoma and patients 

with diabetes. 

Almost 2% of Americans 

have been diagnosed with glaucoma. 

Approximately 1/4th of 

those diagnosed with glaucoma 

are African Americans. Worldwide, 

2.4 million people per 

year are diagnosed with glaucoma. 

The prevalence of glaucoma 

increases with age. By the 

year 2020, it is estimated that the 

number of patients diagnosed 

with glaucoma will be 3.6 million. 

Glaucoma accounts for approximately 

12% of all new cases 

of legal blindness each year. 

The optic nerve is like a cable 

made up of over 1 million nerve 

fibers that carry the information 

collected by your eye (retina) to 

the visual cortex of the brain for 

processing. Glaucoma slowly, decreases 

the ability of your optic 

nerve to carry this information to 

your brain. 

The buildup of pressure in 

your eye causes glaucoma. There 

are currently two basic theories 

as to why excessive ocular pressure 

causes glaucoma. Either 

high intra-ocular pressure decreases 

blood flow to the optic 

nerve, or high pressure, over 

time, physically crushes and kills 

the individual nerve fibers. 

At first, open-angle glaucoma 

has no symptoms. Vision stays 

normal, and there is no pain. As 

glaucoma remains untreated, 

people may notice that although 

they see clearly in front of them, 

they miss objects to the side and 

out of the corner of their eye. 

It may seem as though they are 

looking through a tunnel. Over 

time, the remaining vision may 

decrease until there is no vision 

left. Optic nerve damage caused 

by glaucoma is permanent; 

therefore, it is important to seek 

treatment in the early stages of 

the disease. Most people think 

that they have glaucoma if the 

pressure in their eye is high. This 

is not always true. High pressure 

puts you at a higher risk for glaucoma; 

however, an elevated pressure 

by itself does not make the 

diagnosis of glaucoma. Whether 

or not you get glaucoma depends 

on the level of pressure that your 

optic nerve can tolerate without 

being damaged. This level is different 

for each person. Although 

normal pressure is usually said to 

be between 12-21 mm Hg, a person 

might have glaucoma even if 

the pressure is in this range. That 

is why an eye examination is very 

important. 

A patient being evaluated for 

glaucoma will typically have a 

dilated eye exam, to look at the 

shape of the optic disk; gonioscopy: 

which is using a lens to evaluate 

the trabecular meshwork 

where the fluid in the eye exits the 

eye; tonometry: measuring the 

pressure in the eye; pachymetry: 

measuring the thickness of the 

cornea; fundus photos; pictures 

of the eye are helpful to look for 

changes in the appearance of the 

optic nerve over time; visual field 

testing: measuring the peripheral 

vision and optical coherence tomography 

(OCT) to measure the 

thickness of the nerve layer transmitting 

the image to the brain; 

visual field test measuring the peripheral 

or side vision. Recently, 

more advanced technology like 

Visual-Evoked Potential (VEP) 

and electroretinograms (ERG) 

have been found to be useful in 

making the diagnosis of glaucoma 

in more challenging cases. 

Glaucoma is a lifelong disease 

that will always require treatment. 

Glaucoma is much like 

hypertension and diabetes. We 

can control these diseases, however 

we cannot, yet, cure them. 

Today there are numerous ophthalmic 

medications available to 

us in the treatment of glaucoma. 

Some are eye drops that are used 

only once a day; others are used 

up to four times a day. More than 

one medication may be used to 

treat glaucoma. If glaucoma cannot 

be controlled with medications 

other procedures, including 

laser and surgery may be considered. 

At Milford Franklin Eye Center, 

we use state-of-the-art technology 

and lasers to diagnose 

and treat a variety of eye problems, 

including glaucoma. We 

are proud to offer high definition 

optic coherence tomography 

testing (OCT) that can predict 

glaucoma before it even happens. 

All our offices are equipped 

with OCT and state-of-the-art 

computerized visual field testing. 

With this high-tech service, we 

bring to our community world 

class eye care closer to home.

Living Healthy 

Medway Wellness Walk 

Spring Edition 

Opened in the fall of 2016, the 

Wellness Walk is a .7 mile, clockwise 

loop that travels through our 

Medway High School’s new athletic 

complex and a scenic field 

and forest before ending near 

the student parking lot. On the 

walk, visitors will find 12 kiosks. 

These kiosks—made possible by 

funds generously allocated by the 

Community Preservation Committee—are 

intended to connect 

our schools with our community 

and promote the three pillars of 

health and wellness: Physical, Social 

and Mental. 

A Trip down the Mississippi 

For this spring’s first installation, 

students in Mr. Collins’ 

and Ms. McCarthy’s American 

Lit. Honors classes take you on a 

journey down the Wellness Walk 

with Mark Twain and his 1884 

novel Adventures of Huckleberry 

Finn. 

As you progress from Kiosk 

2 through 12, you will learn 

about Twain’s life and 

work, including major 

themes, his important 

role in American literary 

history, and his 

novel’s connection to 

the 1800s. Upcoming 

installations will 

feature student projects 

relating to the 

civil war. 

Get involved—The Wellness 

Walk is looking for contributions! 

If your club, team, organization, 

etc. would like to be included 

in a future installation, 

please contact Kevin Collins 

(kcollins@medwayschools.org) or 

Karl Infanger (kinfanger@medwayschools.org) 

to discuss how 

we can help you out.

AMVETS Post 495 – An Institution in Millis 


In 1944, a group of 18 veterans 

from nine veterans’ clubs 

formed The American Veterans 

of World War II. On July 23, 

1947, President Harry S. Truman 

signed Public Law 216, 

making AMVETS the first 

World War II organization to be 

chartered by Congress. 

Millis AMVETS, which according 

to its Facebook page was 

created on July 23, 1947, used to 

be in a chicken coop, says member 

Paul Howard, or “Ducky,” 

who explains that the current 

location of Millis AMVETS Post 

495, at 404 Village Street in Millis, 

is the fourth home for the post 

since the 1970s. 

“They went through four different 

places: one on Pleasant 

street, then Main Street, then 

to the chicken coop that was on 

Ira Tucker’s property, and then 

we got this place,” says Howard, 

who credits Donny Pettis, Sr., of 

DP construction, for footing a lot 

of his own money to build the 

place. “There was even a softball 

field,” he says. 

The AMVETS is a private 

club that is comprised 

of three components, 

according to current 

Commander Michael 

Delaporta, 22-year member 

who served in the 

Massachusetts National 

Guard. While he is Commander 

of AMVETS, 

Deb Ela is President of 

the Women’s Auxiliary, 

and Danny Coffey is the 

Commander of the Sons 

of AMVETS. 

To be an AMVET, 

says Delaporta, you must 

have served in any branch 

of the U.S. military from 

WWII on. Members of 

the Women’s Auxiliary 

and the Sons of AMVETS must 

have had a family member in the 

military. All pay annual dues. 

“We are a private club, by our 

charter, by our insurance and by 

our business model,” says Delaporta, 

who says that about half 

of the members come from Millis, 

and the other half from surrounding 

towns, “but that does 

not exclude the public from coming 

in and enjoying the club, free 

pool, free darts and free Wifi. It’s 

an institution, and the club also 

hosts a lot of fun events.” 

The public can come to the 

club and sign in through the 

guestbook, he says. 

Members say the camaraderie 

of the organization was the draw 

for them. 

“I joined just to help out and 

support the veterans, and it’s 

such a fun bunch of people,” 

says Ela, who’s been involved for 

about 8 years. 

Coffey, too, agrees. His father 

was a Marine, and he’s been 

a member of the Sons of AM- 

VETS for 12 years. He says,” I 

just enjoy doing stuff for the veterans 

and the Sons, and helping 

out at the fundraisers. We do a 

breakfast buffet once a month, 

too, on the first Sunday.” (The 

breakfasts, $8 pp, are held September 

to June, from 9-10:30 

a.m.). 

“We serve the veterans and 

support service members that 

are in. Right now, one of our 

members is serving overseas, 

so we’re putting together care 

packages,” says Delaporta. He 

invites anyone who has a loved 

one currently serving to contact 

AMVETS. 

“You have to have an APO, 

a specific military post office for 

them,” he says. Without that, he 

says, often by the time the packages 

get to the soldier, they would 

have been shipped to another location. 

AMVETS also holds fundraisers 

for various veteran-related 

groups. They’ve raised over 

$5,000 for the Wounded Warriors 

project, and the location 

hosts a couple of different bike 

runs each year. 

“We also have the reception 

hall upstairs. Obviously, people 

can rent that, and we also donate 

it for multiple fundraisers, turkey 

shoots, Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts. 

There have been multiple fundraisers 

for people with cancer. We 

let them use the hall, which holds 

about 125, and they have to pay 

the bartender.” 

AMVETS also serves the 

community in a number of 

ways, including a number 

of scholarships for graduating 

Millis Seniors. “Anybody 

can apply,” says Ela,” and 

there’s a preference if you 

have a family member who’s 

a veteran.” 

In addition, the site hosts 

Toys for Tots near Christmas 

time, as well as a giving tree 

that time of year for families 

in need. On Monday nights, 

AMVETS has a pitch 

league, and it also hosts two 

pool teams. 

The club also puts together 

a number of fun 

events, celebrating St. Patrick’s 

Day and the Kentucky 

Derby, and the Sons put together 

tailgate parties to celebrate football 

games, for instance. Coming 

up on June 2nd is a crawfish boil, 

with just a limited number of 

tickets available. 

These occasions provide a get 

together, says Delaporta, “for the 

folks that don’t have a lot of family 

around – certainly the older 

veterans.” 

Certainly, that falls in line 

with the mission the organization 

states on its Facebook page: 

“To enhance and safeguard 

the entitlements for all American 

Veterans who have served honorably 

and to improve the quality 

of life for them, their families, 

and the communities where they 

live through leadership, advocacy 

and services.”

Millis Amvets Does NOT Solicit 

Donations by Phone 


If you receive a call looking 

for a donation to the Millis Amvets 

Post 495 – it’s a scam. 

“I am the current commander 

of Millis Amvets Post 

495. We don’t ask for donations 

by phone,” says Michael Delaporta, 

of Millis. Delaporta was 

recently notified by a Medway 

resident that he had been solicited 

by telephone to donate to 

the post. 

“I then contacted the Millis 

Police Department, who posted 

the scam alert on their Facebook 

page,” says Delaporta. “I 

also contacted the consumer 

affairs folks at Channel 10 Boston, 

and they interviewed me. 

They used it for a consumer 

alert segment on air: 

(https://www.nbcboston.

“We have been working to 

keep the public informed on all 

scams through our Facebook 

account. The Amvets commander 

notified us immediately 

of the scam, and we pushed 

out the information as soon 

as we received it,” says Millis 

Police Chief Chris Soffayer. 

“If anyone feels they are being 

scammed, we encourage people 

to notify the police, so we can 

investigate.” 

“I want to do everything 

in my power to alert residents 

to the scam, so they aren’t 

scammed by bad guys using our 

names and most importantly, if 

someone has been scammed, 

they can tell us who they made 

the check out to. That is the one 

piece of information the Medway 

resident couldn’t tell us as 

he refused to fall for the scam,” 

says Delaporta. 

This is the first time in a few 

years the Amvets has heard of 

someone trying to falsely solicit 

funds. “It may have happened 

all the time, and nobody told 

us,” he says. Delaporta reiterates 

that the Millis Amvets Post 

495 DOES NOT solicit donations 

by telephone and never 

would. 

If you have been contacted 

by this scammer and have any 

details, please contact your local 

police department.

Terpsichore is a unique dance 

group in that they are an extracurricular 

activity hosted by a 

public school district, yet offer 

all the services of private dance 

school, including classes, multiple 

performance opportunities 

over the course of the year, and 

the ability to build and revisit a 

repertoire as a professional company 

might, but at little to no cost 

to the participants. This year, the 

Nutcracker spanned three performances 

and featured over 120 

performers. The primary goal of 

the group is to provide free dance 

3.625 % 

Rate 

opportunities to the students of 

the Millis Public Schools. We 

strive to integrate the talents of 

those who have been dancing a 

lifetime with those who have just 

begun their dance journey, to everyone 

in between. This spring, 

we are offering three free dance 

classes a week, including a ballet 

class, as well as the chance to 

perform in one or more of the 

six ensemble pieces being featured 

on May 4, and in the fall, 

we will present our 10th Annual 

Nutcracker.

Millis High School Senior Hosts 

Service Learning Food Drive 

On Thursday April 5, Dominic 

Spada, a Millis High School 

senior, hosted a small group 

of students in the first component 

of an introductory service 

learning project. Dominic 

learned about service learning 

through his five trips to Guatemala 

through School the World. 

Since sophomore year, Dominic 

has had a serious interest in 

bringing the tenants of service 

learning, combing service with 

learning components in order 

to benefit both the participants 

and the community, to his Millis 

community. This group learned 

the components of service learning, 

as well as gaining information 

about the Millis Ecumenical 

Food Pantry and nationwide food 

pantries. This allowed the students 

to gain essential knowledge 

in order to be able to have a more 

intimate relationship with the 

project. 

On April 8th, the students 

hosted a food drive at Roche 

Bros. in Millis, MA to collect the 

five items that the food pantry 

deemed it needed most. These 

items were peanut butter, cereal, 

tuna fish, canned soup, tomato 

sauce. The volunteers provided 

the shoppers with a list upon 

their entry to the store as well 

as reminders on the shelves of 

the needed items. In addition 

to cash donations, a total collection 

of over 300 products, which 

Dominic will be working with a 

youth group associated with the 

Church of Christ to deliver and 

stock at the food pantry. 

Dominic is pleased at his inaugural 

effort at creating a true 

service learning project and is 

now looking forward to the opportunity 

to lay the groundwork 

for this project to become part 

of the fabric of the Millis High 

School community. If you are 

interested in getting involved in 

this project, please reach out to 

Dominic at domspa18@millisschools.org. 

Additional information 

can be found by contacting 

the food pantry at mefpantry@

Stallings Settles into No. 1 Singles Slot 

for Millis Net Team 

By KEN HAMWEY, 

Staff Sports Writer 

Girls tennis at Millis High 

hasn’t enjoyed a plethora of 

success like the football team or 

the girls soccer and basketball 

squads, but trends often change. 

And, if the Mohawks hope to 

improve on last year’s 4-15 record, 

then Kaitlyn Stallings no 

doubt will be counted on to invigorate 

the program. 

The 5-foot-7 junior joined 

the varsity last year as a sophomore, 

and instead of playing 

doubles matches like she did at 

the jayvee level her freshman 

season, she started in singles 

matches and eventually settled 

into the role as the Mohawks’ 

No. 1 singles player. 

Coach Tom Ingraham is bullish 

on Stallings’ ability. He likes 

what he calls her “unique style,’’ 

that includes an aggressive approach 

at the net, a strong serve 

and an effective forehand. 

“When she was on the jayvees, 

I envisioned Kaitlyn as a 

doubles player,’’ Ingraham said. 

“But, last year she started in singles 

and worked her way to No. 

1. She’s willing to take chances 

and be a disruption for an opponent. 

She takes lessons and 

that’s helped elevate her game. 

An efficient volleyer, she’s also 

got a great demeanor for the 

sport because she’s able to stay 

on an even keel.’’ 

The 17-year-old Stallings 

won four matches last year and 

two of them were rather significant 

in her development. She 

was inserted into the No. 1 singles 

slot in her first varsity match 

and defeated Milton’s top player 

in two sets. And, against Medway, 

she showed spunk in rallying 

for a three-set win against 

the Mustangs’ top player. 

“I filled in at No. 1 singles 

against Milton because of illness 

and was able to overcome 

being nervous,’’ Stallings recalled. 

“I had to rely on the skills 

I learned from my lessons. That 

victory gave me confidence and 

showed I could compete with an 

older player. The win at Medway 

stands out because of the 

way I rallied.’’ 

So far this season, Stallings is 

1-1 and Millis has a 0-2 record. 

Stallings, who started playing 

tennis at 11, has a variety of 

strengths. Besides a strong serve 

and a dependable cross-court 

backhand, she’s effective on her 

placements and her approach 

shots. 

“I depend on trying to understand 

the different types of 

players I face, and I also work 

on being consistent and understanding 

situational tennis,’’ she 

said. “Where I need to improve 

is volleying at the net and getting 

more speed on forehand 

and backhand shots.’’ 

Stallings’ team goal for the 

season is for Millis to reach .500 

and qualify for the tourney. 

Personally, she’ll be striving to

team has a lot of seniors. We’re

a chance to turn things around.’’ 

Stallings points to a trio of 

teammates she believes will play 

key roles this season — captain 

Allie Smith, Meg Hourigan and 

Lily Denman. “Allie is a smart, 

consistent player,’’ Stallings 

noted. “Meg is a terrific competitor 

whose strokes are strong, 

and Lily is a good placement hitter 

whose serve is aggressive.’’ 

Also a fan of her coach, Stallings 

labels Ingraham “a calm 

presence.’’ She admires her 

coach’s ability “to motivate, encourage 

and to focus on basics.’’ 

Stallings, who also is an outside 

hitter on the varsity volleyball 

team, isn’t intimidated 

when she’s continually matched 

against No. 1 singles players 

from rival teams. Her approach 

is to stay positive. “Any pressure 

that mounts comes from myself,’’ 

she said. “If I get mad or 

down in a match, my game usually 

goes downhill. “So, I focus 

on giving my best effort and 

staying positive.’’ 

An honor student, Stallings 

hopes to continue her tennis 

career in college. She’s not sure 

what school she’ll attend, but 

she’s leaning on a southern college 

and a science major. 

Relying on a competitive philosophy 

of working hard to win, 

Stallings also is a firm believer 

of striving to reach her potential. 

“Having fun and enjoying 

athletics is important, but fun 

usually occurs through winning,’’ 

she emphasized. “Winning 

is important.’’ 

Very aware that athletics 

provide a venue for learning 

life lessons, Stallings lists teamwork, 

time management and 

leadership as key lessons that 

can be learned. “I try to be a 

good teammate,’’ she noted. 

“And, even if you’re not a captain, 

sports can teach you to be 

a leader. Sports also teach you 

how to balance academics and 

use your time efficiently.’’

Tim Smith Hones His Focus on Baseball 

By Christopher Tremblay 

As a three-sport athlete at Millis 

High School, Tim Smith found 

himself suiting up for basketball, 

baseball and football for the Mohawks. 

He began shooting baskets 

at a very young age and began 

playing the sport year-round, 

however, as he got older, he let go 

of basketball to concentrate on his 

back for the baseball season, but 

he worked extremely hard and 

was able to make it back to play 

the entire season,” Millis Coach 

Mike Carter said. 

With his injury slowing down 

his junior campaign on the diamond, 

Smith decided to take precautions 

in the sport he loves the 

most. 

season finale, he had two big hits 

against Pope John Paul and his 

confidence was soaring. 

“His sophomore campaign, 

we were struggling as a team, and 

his presence in the lineup rejuvenated 

us and gave us life again 

in the lineup. He’s a professional 

player and he helped up with that 

big win over DS,” Carter said. 

“He has an impressive mentality 

with a great mindset of the game. 

He’ll take any advice that is given 

to him and work on improving it.” 

The senior first baseman will 

find himself batting in the heart of 

Coach Carter’s lineup either at the 

third hole or the cleanup position. 

“I’m a contact hitter with some 

power, but I’m not going to be hitting 

any 400 foot homers anytime 

soon,” he said. “I would like to 

work on my swing and improve 

my power hitting.” 

Coach Carter believes that 

Smith has come a long way at the 

plate since his freshman year at 

Millis. 

“He really has come a long 

way in terms of power and 

has worked hard to develop his 

swing,” the Coach said. “We are 

going to lean on him heavily this 

year.” 

As Millis battles for the right 

to get back to the State Tournament, 

Smith is hoping that when 

once his high school career comes 

to an end that he can still continue 

to play baseball on the next level. 

Smith will be attending Westfield 

State College next fall majoring in 

Criminal Justice, but he is hoping 

that he’ll be playing baseball for 

the Division 3 Owls as a walk on. 

Great physical therapy and a 

lot of work has put Tim Smith 

back in the swing again in Millis 

baseball. 

first love – baseball. Then during 

his junior campaign on the gridiron, 

he tore his labrum, and his 

football season was done. 

Original diagnostics showed 

that he most likely wasn’t going to 

see any action that spring on the 

baseball diamond, but Smith had 

different ideas. 

“They told me that I would 

probably be out about six months, 

but I had a really good physical 

therapist and four or five months 

later, I was good to go,” the Millis 

senior said. “The football injury 

slowed my baseball season down, 

and at first, I wasn’t fully confident 

in my arm, so I started playing fall 

ball for the first time to build up 

my stamina.” 

Returning ahead of schedule 

allowed Smith to take part in the 

Mohawks season. 

“Tim wasn’t even expected 

“When I got hurt in football, 

it put me behind the eight ball 

for the baseball season,” the first 

baseman said. “I didn’t want that 

to happen again, so I didn’t play 

football this past season, but instead 

concentrated on baseball.” 

Smith began playing first base 

early in his career. He also dabbled 

at the hot corner as well, but felt 

that first was a better fit for him, 

especially by the time he got to 

high school, where the Mohawks 

already had themselves a capable 

third baseman on the team. 

“I think it was around third or 

fourth grade when I first started 

playing first base and just stuck 

with it,” Smith said. “I played 

the position well before I actually 

had a first baseman mitt. In fact, 

I originally found my first mitt at 

the ball park.” 

Upon entering Millis High 

School, Smith found himself 

fielding ground balls for the Junior 

Varsity team his first two seasons, 

but with only two games remaining 

in the regular season during 

his sophomore year he got the call 

up to the Varsity team. In his very 

first Varsity game, he went 3-3 at 

the plate with a RBI in a 2-1 win 

over Dover Sherborn, and in the

TC Runner John O’Sullivan Keeps Pushing His Limits 

By Christopher Tremblay 

Growing up in Medway, John 

O’Sullivan enjoyed playing soccer, 

and when high school rolled 

around, he opted for greater 

opportunity and attended Tri 

County Regional Vocational 

High School. It was here in 

Franklin that he first was introduced 

to track. 

“I had never run or thought 

about running except for in soccer,” 

the Medway resident said. 

“It was my freshman year, and 

soccer captain Dan Elliot told me 

that I should join the track team 

to get in better shape, which 

would help me in soccer. By my 

sophomore year, I fell in love with 

the sport.” 

Originally, O’Sullivan found 

himself running the mile, then 

in his junior year he added the 

800, and this season he plans on 

attempting the high jump. Although 

he had run for the better 

part of his life on the soccer field, 

running track was a totally different 

animal for O’Sullivan. 

“The only type of running 

that I had done was through soccer, 

so this was definitely a new 

experience,” he said. “It was difficult 

at first and hard to pick up, 

but it did get easier, and by the 

third week of the season I had it 

down.” 

During that freshman campaign, 

O’Sullivan recorded a best 

time of 5:20; while his best time 

now is at 5:08. 

“His freshman season, we 

found that he needed to add a 

lot of physical strength. John had 

Medway resident and Tri-County senior John O’Sullivan made the 

move from soccer to track when he started high school. Since then, his 

coaches have helped him test his limits. 

the will, but not the natural ability 

to be a runner,” Tri-Country 

track Coach Seth Curran said. 

“His reach ascended his grasp, 

but over the past two years, he 

has made great strides. He puts

in his work, and his wants come

Following his freshman season 

O’Sullivan found that he needed 

to do more with track in the offseason, 

so he attended winter 

workouts at the school where he 

was running on treadmills and 

worked on core exercises to get 

ready for the next season. 

Through the first few years, 

the Medway runner would occasionally 

find himself finishing 

in the top three, but never had 

himself a first-place finish. That 

is, until his junior year, where 

he was the first to cross the finish 

line against Southeaster and 

Bristol Plymouth. 

“It was a pretty awesome 

feeling to have finally won a 

race. There are so many kids 

that run the mile that it makes 

it hard to win,” O’Sullivan said. 

“I had been able to stay with 

the top running pack, and during 

the last lap I really wanted 

to win, so I kicked it up.” 

Having been a decent miler for 

the Cougars, O’Sullivan added 

the 800 to his repertoire, or shall 

we say, his coach added it to his 

events. To date, his best time in 

the event is 2:20. 

“My distance coach helped 

me with the decision to run the 

800 my junior year. Actually, he 

just stuck me in the race one day 

and didn’t even tell me,” he said. 

“The two are very different; in 

the mile I go at a slower speed 

and pace myself, but in the 800 

you go at a much quicker pace. 

The 800 was difficult at first, as 

I had to pace myself for two laps 

instead of the 4 in the mile.” 

Much like his junior year 

when his coach inserted a new 

event into his daily routines, his 

new distance coach did the same 

this pre-season. 

“She saw me doing the high 

jump at practice one day and 

told me that I should give it a try 

on a meet,” he said. “I have yet 

to take part in the high jump in a 

meet yet, but I will soon.” 

Entering his fourth and final 

season with the TC Track and 

Field team, O’Sullivan is looking 

to end his career with goals of 

breaking a five-minute mile and 

a time of 2:10 in the 800, while 

making it to the states. He has no 

plans for the high jump, yet. 

“Having never done the high 

jump before and only taking it 

on one week before the season, 

I have no idea how I’ll do, so I 

have no goals,” O’Sullivan said. 

“Personally I want to go to the 

States (Tournament) this year. 

It is definitely something that I 

can and will accomplish before I 

leave Tri-County.”

Register O’Donnell Promotes Protection 

Against Real Estate Fraud 

Norfolk County Register of 

Deeds William P. O’Donnell 

today reminded residents that 

over 750 homeowners have 

signed up for the free on-line 

Consumer Notification Service 

offered by the Registry to protect 

Norfolk County property owners 

against fraud. 

“The Federal Bureau of Investigation, 

(F.B.I.) continues 

to assign resources to combat 

property and mortgage fraud. 

Multiple jurisdictions across the 

country have reported individuals 

recording fraudulent documents 

and making it appear like 

they own another person’s home 

or property. While we have been 

fortunate that this problem has 

not revealed itself here in Norfolk 

County, I want to make sure 

my office is proactively and vigorously 

protecting consumers,” 

noted Register O’Donnell. 

Any owner of real property 

in the twenty-eight communities 

comprising Norfolk County can 

sign-up for the Consumer Notification 

Service free of charge

sign-up instructions. 

Once you have signed up for 

the service, each subscriber will 

be able to input two names, individual 

or business, and the corresponding 

city or town in Norfolk 

County for monitoring. They can 

monitor their real estate for such 

activities as changes in deeds, 

mortgages, mortgage discharges, 

non-mortgage liens, Homesteads 

or other land documents 

that might be recorded against 

the property. O’Donnell stated, 

“This is an easy process to signup 

for and will only take a few 

minutes of your time. This program 

will not prevent the fraud 

but it will allow residents to find 

out about it in order to address 

the fraud quickly.” 

The Register of Deeds will

Client Testimonial to Robin & Mark Spangenberg: 

“Robin can best be described as an agent with premier professionalism, 

knowledge and expertise. Along with her husband Mark, the Spangenbergs 

guided us through a selling process that can be very stressful but also exciting 

and most of all rewarding. During our selling process there were so many highs 

and lows, but the sign of a superior agent is one who can keep you on an even 

keel and that is what Robin and Mark did for us. Our experience with Robin was 

amazing and her knowledge of pricing the house in the current market was right 

on the money. We would not hesitate to use Robin again in the future and highly 

recommend her to anyone interested in selling. Thank you so much Robin and 

Mark.” Robert and Georgette Malouf, Millis
