A Trip Back in Time for Millis 

Elementary School 

Time Capsule Planted in Cornerstone of 

Clyde F. Brown Is Opened 

By J.D. O’Gara 

Little girls were 

dressed in poodle skirts 

and ponytails, little 

boys in plaid shirts or 

white t-shirts and jeans, 

greaser-style. Spirit 

day harkened back 

to 1954, the year that 

the brand-new Millis 

Elementary School, 

later to be named for 

Millis School Principal 

Clyde F. Brown, 

was built and opened. 

As the classes filed 

in, the gymnasium 

buzzed with excitement. 

Today, March 

22, 2019, would be the day 

the time capsule, planted behind 

a granite cornerstone 

of the building some 65 years 

ago and unearthed on Friday, 

March 1 st by members of the 

Millis Historical Commission, 

would be opened by three former 

students, Ruth Harcowitz,

In a public event on March 22, 

2019, an acetate scroll was 

the final item, carefully pulled 

from a time capsule unearthed 

from a granite cornerstone of 

the Clyde F. Brown Elementary 

School opened in 1954. The 

scroll contained the names of 

the incoming students for the 

1954-1955 year. All but the 

Kindergartners had signed 

their own names.

Family Touched by Tragedy 

Reaches Out to Give Back to Others 

By Jane Lebak 

On April 7th at 11 a.m., dozens 

of runners will meet at Oak Grove 

Park in support of a local family. 

When Jessie Krauss, a Millis 

High School senior, had to 

choose her senior year project, 

the answer was obvious. “I knew 

I wanted to do something that involves 

fundraising for frontotemporal 

dementia.” 

Frontotemporal dementia 

(FTD) is a specific kind of dementia 

resulting from deterioration in 

the temporal and frontal lobes of 

the brain. These areas specifically 

impact emotion, language, and 

decision-making. It strikes mostly 

those in their fifties, and in people 

under age 60, FTD is the most 

common cause of dementia. Currently 

there is no cure. 

In 2017, Krauss’s father was 

diagnosed with FTD, an unbelievable 

blow to the family. Krauss 

says, “Our Dad was basically our 

supporter, and he knew how to 

do everything around the house. 

Then so quickly, he became so 

dependent on us and we were the 

ones caring for him. The father we 

idolized so much was being taken 

away from us.” 

Through this dark time, Jessie 

Krauss continued studying at Millis 

High School and running with 

the track team. In her senior year, 

she became one of the captains 

of the Varsity Soccer team and 

received the NESDEC Award in 

November, 2018. 

Then she began her senior project. 

“I wanted to combine the passion 

for running and a fundraiser. 

I wanted it to be something where 

I could bring everyone together to 

raise awareness and raise money 

for the cause.” 

The running part would be organizing 

a 5K run/walk race. The 

#1 IN MEDWAY.

“We’ve been working up to 

this event,” said Clyde Brown 

Principal Jason Phelps, of the 

students, who were fascinated by 

the time capsule and the mystery 

of its contents. 

“It’s such a delightful way to 

bring history alive to the kids in 

the school and their teachers,” 

added Millis Superintendent 

Nancy Gustafson. 

With cameras flashing and 

a projector showing the whole 

process, members of the Millis 

Historical Commission delicately 

opened the time capsule, and 

then the three former students 

took turns carefully removing 

its contents, which included, in 

order of removal: 

• A proposal for the original 

grade school 

• A warrant article dated June 

9, 1953 for the funding of the 

new elementary school 

• A letter from Massachusetts 

Governor Christian Herder, 

who lived in Millis, dated January 

21, 1954, congratulating 

Millis residents on the new 

school 

On Friday, March 1 st , members of 

the Millis Historical Commission 

unearthed the time capsule 

planted 65 years ago at the Millis 

Elementary School. 

• A letter from U.S. President 

Dwight Eisenhower dated June 

1, 1954, congratulating the

According to Nathan Maltinsky, 

Chair of the Millis Historical 

Commission, the documents 

unearthed will likely be housed 

in display cases at the Niagara

completed restoration and recently 

was opened to the public 

through an open house organized 

by Millis High School senior 

Lily Denman. 

Phelps adds that the current 

Clyde Brown students will be 

creating their own time capsule, 

and some special community 

events for this spring are planned 

by a subcommittee of the school 

council. 

and her family had become familiar 

with their work. “This includes

medicines, or even support groups

were so many unknowns,” she 

The Town of Millis received 

congratulatory letters from both 

President Dwight Eisenhower and 

Massachusetts Governor Christian 

Herder, a resident of Millis. 

The first item taken from the boxwas a proposal for 1954 school, 

held by Ruth Harcovitz, who was a first-grader at the time, along with 

Chrissy (Wilson) Hana and Jill (Wildman) Kuhlman, standing behind 

her. Millis Historic Commission’s Nathan Maltinsky looks on.

Among items in the time capsule

says, starting with the date, the 

location, and the route. Krauss 

coordinated the details between 

Officer Bickford, MGH’s fundraising 

team, and Oak Grove 

Park where the race will be run 

on the trails. She arranged babysitting 

for participants as well as 

prizes for the top finishers. “Now 

I have to get the permits. There’s 

just a lot of planning.” 

The race will use the trails at 

Oak Grove. Participants can run 

or walk the route, or do a combination 

of both. Five kilometers is 

3.1 miles. 

As happens with most raceplanners, 

Krauss probably will 

be too busy on race day to run. 

“Some friends are going to run 

it,” she says, “but some would 

rather be a volunteer.” 

Mass General’s fundraising 

coordinators set a goal of 

$5,000, although at first Krauss 

thought that was unreasonable. 

“When I hit $1,000 after three 

days, I was so surprised,” she 

says. By mid-March, she’d raised 

three thousand dollars, and it 

appears that by race day, she 

might exceed her goal. Krauss 

predicts fifty to sixty runners on 

race day. 

The monetary donations are an 

extension of the concern Krauss’s 

Millis senior Jessie Krauss, right, is organizing a 5K to take place on 

April 7 th , at Oak Grove Farm in Millis. The event will raise funds for a 

unit of Massachusetts General Hospital focused on frontotemporal 

dementia (FTD), with which her Dad was diagnosed two years ago. 

family has received from the Millis 

community in general. “I’ve been 

so surprised by the support our 

family has gotten,” she says. “All 

the Moms got together and set up 

meal plans. That takes the stress 

off our mom. People would just 

bring over a meal, even when they 

don’t understand the full extent of 

what we’re going through.” 

She adds, “This project 

wouldn’t even be possible without 

the amount of support I’ve gotten. 

It’s important for the community 

Stain T’s 

to participate for my project to 

even be a thing.” 

Race registration is $20 per 

participant, but individuals can 

donate more whether or not they 

choose to run. 

The race registration form 

is available at https://because. 

massgeneral.org/event/run-forftd/e226005 

but participants can 

register on race day as well. 

Anyone wishing to run a 5K 

should google Couch To 5K for a 

beginning running program.

Catherine MacInnes is seeking 

reelection on the Millis Board of 

Selectmen. 

“I am humbled that the voters 

supported me three years ago 

when I ran for Selectman after 

23 years of service on the Planning 

Board. I have accomplished 

much, but we are not done!” 

As Selectman, Cathy fulfilled 

many of her goals: a female police 

officer; and new Town Administrator, 

Police Chief, Finance 

Director, and DPW Director. 

As the Selectmen’s liaison to the 

Permanent Building Committee, 

Cathy was instrumental in permitting 

“leftover” contamination 

funds to complete construction of 

the fire station without requesting 

additional funds from voters or 

cutting back on the project. As a 

result, a much-needed police station 

carport, originally removed, 

was added. She played a significant 

role in obtaining unanimous 

Board of Selectmen consent to 

bring the funding of a new elementary/middle 

school to a vote. 

Cathy reluctantly supported 

the stormwater utility tax. “As 

an elected official, there is nothing 

worse than burdening our 

residents with an additional tax. 

But we can thank our representatives 

in Congress and at the State 

House for the unfunded laws they 

impose that required it.” 

“The marijuana zoning bylaws 

I worked on passed at our 

Fall Town Meeting. I respect those 

who opposed, but a vast majority 

of town meeting members agreed 

with my view that it is wiser for 

Millis to receive tax revenue from 

these new ventures than for surrounding 

towns to receive it.” 

As a member of the Water/ 

Sewer Committee, Cathy led negotiations 

with the developer of 

Glen Ellen to run water and sewer 

down Orchard Street with stubs at 

each intersection for future water/ 

sewer construction – at no cost to 

the town, saving millions of dollars. 

A gas line will soon be added. 

“With several newly-constructed 

town-owned buildings, 

now is the time to complete a 

buildings study to keep our investments 

from deterioration. 

Unlike residential dwellings or as 

simple as these buildings used to 

be, today’s modern buildings are 

extremely sophisticated and contain 

at least a dozen systems challenging 

to operate and maintain. 

Department heads such as librarians, 

police and fire chiefs, and 

the Superintendent of schools are 

already overwhelmed. To burden 

them with maintaining their facilities 

will distract those folks. Without 

a properly planned response 

to this issue, both the mission of 

the department heads and the 

condition of our buildings will be 

diminished.” 

What is still on Cathy’s list of 

unfinished business? 

“Jeff Hardin once told me that 

the Selectmen must always be in 

the third year of a five-year plan. I

am proud to have been part of the 

boards that supported the marijuana 

zoning by-laws, the Glen 

over-55 housing development, 

and the assisted living facility on 

Bridge St. As a result, revenue 

will be forthcoming. Economic 

development is essential to retaining 

and maintaining municipal 

services. I am proposing to set up 

a committee consisting only of 

the fire and police chiefs and the 

DPW director to research added 

expenses to their departments as 

a result of this and other construction. 

It is imperative for us to plan 

accordingly for any burdens these 

unique projects might place on 

departments. As the town’s liaison 

to the Norfolk County Advisory 

Board, I have learned how other 

towns put more money into their 

‘stabilization’ fund (what I consider 

the town’s savings account), 

and as a result more funds are 

available for future capital needs.” 

Cathy appreciates that the 

current Board of Selectmen is 

cohesive and works well together. 

“Sure, we do not agree on everything, 

but we work jointly to do 

what is right for our residents. I 

do not look to the Town Administrator 

for answers, nor do my 

colleagues. All of us do our own 

research and respect each other’s 

opinions. I ask that you continue 

to support me.” 

Cathy is married to Steve and 

has a son Will, one rescue cat, and 

two rescue dogs.

Millis Candidate for Selectman: 

Pete Jurmain 

My name is Pete Jurmain 

and I am running for Selectman 

in Millis. My wife Diane and I 

have lived in Millis for 13 years. 

During that time, I have been involved 

in many Town activities 

and committees. I have been a 

member of the Finance Committee 

for 12 years, as Chair for 

3 years and Vice Chair for one 

year. I am also a member of the 

Capital Planning Committee; I 

started and chaired the IS/Communications 

Committee; I have 

volunteered as Acting Director 

of IT for the Town of Millis for 

over a year and have helped to 

develop the strategy for upgrading 

the Town’s IT infrastructure. 

For the last 3 years, I have provided 

technical IT support to the 

Police Station, Fire Station and 

VMB as a volunteer. Prior to 

starting my own IT company in 

1987, Jurmain & Partners LLC, 

with my wife, I worked for IBM 

(Systems Engineer), AT&T (Division 

Manager) and ITT (Director). 

I have also successfully taken 

a software development company 

through a turnaround as its 

President/CEO. And, I served a 

tour of duty as an officer with the 

US Army in Vietnam. 

My priority concerns as 

a candidate for Selectman: 

Control Taxes: Over the past 

eight years, taxes have increased 

steadily. This is not surprising 

with the construction of four new 

facilities that had become desperately 

outdated. But this trend 

can’t continue. We need to look 

at ways to better coordinate our 

debt schedule with the need to 

maintain and replace our Town’ 

infrastructure, balanced with 

We beat ALL 

competitor pricing.

the needs of all the residents, especially 

those living on fixed or 

low incomes. Done responsibly, 

this should permit the Town to 

mange it’s needs without having 

to increase our taxes. Our State 

representatives are key to financial 

assistance for necessary projects 

such as road repairs, senior 

transportation, facilities and educational 

support for our youngest 

citizens. 

Concern For Our Senior Citizens: 

I will continue to work with Town 

management to find better ways 

to meet the needs of our senior 

community, of which I too am 

a member. I have been working 

with Town officials for a long time 

to find a more desirable location 

for our senior center. But, any 

new construction or renovation 

must not increase the tax burden 

on our senior citizens. The 

seniors tell me that they would 

like a new facility, but not at the 

expense of additional taxes. 

Road Repairs: The conundrum 

here is how to accomplish 

this without raising taxes. 

Among the options is to cover 

these repairs with funds from 

items coming off the debt schedule. 

It doesn’t lower our taxes, 

but at least it doesn’t raise them 

either. And again, we should be 

seeking aid from our State representatives. 

Volunteering and Voting: We 

all have a responsibility to participate 

in our local governance by 

voting. Voting determines how 

the limited funds that we do have 

available for projects will be spent. 

I continually encourage everyone 

to become more active in the 

community by joining committees, 

I understand how difficult 

$299

AffordableJunkRemoval@gmail.com

it is to make the time necessary 

to work and take care of family 

while trying to participate in running 

the community, but it is so 

important for everyone to take 

part at some level in this process. 

Five Member Select Board: 

Millis should have a larger Board. 

Though there are potential issues 

with the interactions of five vs. 

three individuals on the Board of 

Selectmen, I believe the benefits 

of a larger board outweigh the liabilities. 

A larger board will permit 

two members to meet and discuss 

an agenda without violating the 

Open Meeting Law. And it will 

encourage a greater diversity of 

opinions to be expressed which 

are likely to be more representative 

of the community at large. 

When you vote on May 6th, 

I hope you will consider voting 

for me!

Millis Friends of the Library 

Encountering Damaged Donations 


Board books that are chewed 

and eaten. A bag of books covered 

in dust and dirt. Books with 

water stains, mold—and worse, 

rotting from red rot on the inside. 

Some with no covers. Some without 

spines. Coloring books that 

have been colored in, books with 

bugs, and sticker books missing 

the stickers. 

Um… The Friends of the 

Millis Public Library are going 

to pass, thanks. 

“It’s just gross. You would 

be surprised. If there’s just one 

sticker missing, that’s one thing,” 

says Sandra Scott, President of 

the Friends of the Millis Public 

Library, who appreciates the 

thoughtful book donations from 

many patrons. Donations of 

books that are falling apart or can’t 

be sold for some reason, however, 

are a little less than thoughtful. 

They actually end up a burden to 

the library, that will then need to 

unload the junk. Sometimes one 

man’s trash is best put in the trash, 

not donated. 

“We actually sell our books 

at a decent price to make some 

money to pay for the stuff the 

friends pay for that is not covered 

in the library budget,” says Scott. 

“That’s why the book sale is really 

important as a fundraiser, but 

we can’t charge if people are giving 

us (junk).” 

In fact, the Friends of the 

Millis Public Library have been 

asked by other Friends groups 

how their sale is so successful, 

and the answer is “because we 

sort that stuff out. People will 

come to the sale and stay longer 

and actually buy more, because 

they realize it’s not like your average 

garage sale.” 

Scott says the Friends stop 

taking book donations the week 

before the book sale, in order 

to take the time to carefully go 

through the donations (so drop 

that bag of nice book donations 

by sooner rather than later!). 

How does your donation rate? 

Scott says the answer is simple. 

“We really appreciate people 

donating to the sale, and coming 

– this really supports the museum 

passes, a lot of the children’s programming, 

the adult programming 

and the music,” says Scott, 

“but before you donate, look at 

everything and ask, would you 

buy this?” 

The Friends of the Millis Library appreciate your book donations to 

their book sale, which supports programs at the Millis Library. Some, 

however, can’t be sold, so keep these ones at home.


A 100 Year Story in the Making 

By: Kyle Koller 

What would you do if you 

lived to be 100? A full century 

of experiences, adventures, and 

crazy stories would be under 

your belt. You would see the 

transformation of friends and 

family over a 100-year span, and 

even get the chance to possibly 

school, including one in which 

she reminiscences the time when 

school was canceled because it 

was too cold to heat the school. 

She recalls that the temperatures 

were 30 below zero! She also remembers 

growing up on a farm 

and helping her dad by driving 

the oxen through the fields and 

driving a horse drawn hay rake. 

the year that Esther and her new 

family moved to our community 

of Medway. As Esther’s life progressed, 

her career was put on 

the backburner in order to tend 

to her newborn son, Charles. 

During this time, Esther began to 

start substitute teaching in Medway 

as well as other surrounding 

towns, which she continued until 

a member of the church since 

1985. She has also been a member 

of The Kings Daughters 

for almost 50 years, serving as 

President of the Norfolk Chapter 

for a few years! As a resident 

in Maine, Esther was an active 

member of the Grange, serving 

as the Master of the Wells 

Chapter. She was also a longtime 

member of the local 4H 

club, and at one point was even 

the state delegate. 

We at Local Town Pages would 

like to wish Esther Fox a very 

happy 100th birthday and ask 

that anybody who sees her to 

congratulate her on reaching this 

extraordinary milestone. Happy 

100th Birthday Esther!

What story would you 

write about yourself if you lived 

to be 100? 

Our very own Medway Resident, 

Esther Fox, reached this 

extraordinary milestone March 

29th of this year. Esther was 

born on March 29th, 1919 in 

Wells, Maine. Esther has fond 

memories of her days in high 

She graduated high school at 

the age of 16 in which she further 

advanced her education by 

attending the Gorham Normal 

School. 

In 1939 at the age of 20, Esther 

began her career in education 

by teaching in a one room 

school house in Maine. It was 

during this time that Esther met 

the love her life, Frank Fox, who 

she married in 1951. It was also

15th Annual Millis Beautification Day 

New Date: Saturday, May 4 

It’s a great time to show civic 

pride by supporting the May 4 

town-wide cleanup sponsored by 

the Millis Lions and Millis Garden 

Club. It’s the first Saturday in 

May from 9 a.m. to Noon, with 

registration and site assignments 

starting at 8:30 a.m. 

You can make a difference— 

volunteers of all ages are needed 

to help beautify the Millis landscape 

by raking leaves, weeding, 

and removing litter and brush at 

sites such as the Veterans Memorial 

Building, Millis Library, Clyde 

Brown School, and Richardson’s 

Pond as well as along main 

roads. “The final number of sites 

will depend on how many volunteers 

sign up. The more people 

who register the more sites can be 

assigned. We hope to have over 

200 people,” comments Bill Lawson, 

Co-Chairman, “and with private 

citizens volunteering, we free 

up a lot of Department of Public 

Works money for other purposes, 

like filling potholes in our roads! 

Everyone wants that to happen!” 

Both individuals and groups 

are urged to volunteer and will 

be assigned to sites located all 

over town. Many students from 

the Millis public schools – athletic 

teams, the student honor 

society, the Millis High School 

Leos, and students working on 

community projects as well as 

all those who simply care about 

their community—along with 

their teachers and parents— 

make a huge impact. 

In past years, community volunteers 

have made a big difference 

in just a couple of hours, cleaning 

up over 100 cubic yards of brush 

and trash, which translates to 

200 leaf bags, 140 bags of trash, 

and 5 small dump truck loads of 

brush and dead trees. Residents 

and businesses who are not able to 

participate in the event itself are 

encouraged to clean and beautify 

their own street frontage and adjacent 

areas. 

“This is a great opportunity 

to make our town shine,” adds 

Lawson, “and we all benefit when

Living Healthy 

Laser-Assisted Cataract Surgery 

By Roger M. Kaldawy, M.D. 

Milford Franklin Eye Center 

What is a cataract and 

what is cataract surgery? 

A cataract is a common condition 

in which the normally clear 

lens of the eye becomes progressively 

cloudy. When light passes 

through a clear lens, the light 

can focus to a point, creating a 

clear view. When light passes 

through a cataract, the light gets 

distorted, creating a blurred view. 

Compared to vision with a clear 

lens, your vision with a cataract 

may look fuzzy, and colors might 

be muted. These visual disturbances 

from cataracts are progressive, 

and when they become 

bothersome or limit your daily 

activities, it’s time to consider 

treatment. Treatment for cataracts 

involves surgery to remove 

the cataract and replace it with 

an intraocular lens implant. It is 

the most common surgical procedure 

in the US and around the 

world and is considered to be 

an extremely successful and safe 

procedure. 

What is laser-assisted 

cataract surgery? 

Many of the steps of cataract 

surgery are traditionally performed 

using handheld tools. 

Now, they can be completed with 

the precision of a laser. Using 

the Catalys Precision Laser System, 

your surgeon can offer you 

unprecedented accuracy and 

customization in your cataract 

surgery procedure. Your surgeon 

can use the laser to create 

a circular opening for accessing 

Optical 

Shop 

On-Site 

and removing the cataract. Clinical 

studies have shown that this 

opening is more accurate when 

performed with the laser than 

what is achievable by hand. The 

laser then softens and breaks up 

the hard cataract into tiny pieces, 

allowing for gentler, easier cataract 

removal. Depending on 

your pre-operative vision and desired 

visual result, your surgeon 

may recommend a tailored treatment 

plan that could include creating 

ultra-precise laser incisions 

in the cornea and a specific lens 

implant type (e.g. The ActiveFocus 

or Symfony multifocal lens 

for near and far vision). This tailored 

treatment may reduce your 

need for glasses or contact lenses 

after surgery. 

What are the benefits of 

laser-assisted cataract 

surgery? 

• A highly customized treatment 

using advanced 3D imaging 

• A treatment with little or no 

discomfort 

• A more precise treatment with 

ability to better treat astigmatism 

• A gentler and easier cataract 

removal 

• Generally, a more rapid visual 

recovery due to reduced inflammation 

• The opportunity to receive tailored 

treatment with advanced 

technology multi-focal lenses, 

which may reduce the need 

for glasses or contacts after 

surgery 

MILFORD - FRANKLIN 

EYE CENTER 

Am I a suitable candidate 

for laser-assisted cataract 

surgery? 

In our experience, most cataract 

patients are suitable patients 

for laser-assisted cataract surgery. 

Your doctor and his/her support 

staff will discuss your candidacy 

in more detail during your cataract 

evaluation exam. 

How long has the 

procedure been 

performed? 

Thousands of procedures 

have been successfully performed 

using the Catalys Precision Laser 

System, and lasers have been 

used in eye procedures for decades. 

Catalys laser represents 

the new standard in precision 

laser cataract surgery and was 

FDA cleared in 2011. 

How does the laser work? 

Every eye has a unique size 

and shape. Prior to treatment, 

the Catalys Precision Laser 

System scans your eye making 

a precise 3D map of relevant 

structures. This process enables 

your surgeon to create a highly 

customized treatment plan that 

is tailored for your eye. The laser 

then focuses light to create precise 

incisions exactly where intended. 

The laser makes the incisions in a 

matter of seconds. You should experience 

little, if any, discomfort. 

What will I feel? 

You can expect little or no discomfort 

during your treatment. 

During the laser portion, patients 

describe seeing kaleidoscope of 

lights and slight pressure only.

You can expect to be at the

only takes a few minutes.

surgery is all about better 

precision, more safety and 

excellent outcomes. Across the 

country, only a small number of 

specialized lasers are available 

and in use. At Milford Franklin 

Eye Center, Dr. Kaldawy was

COOLSCULPTING PLUS 

vs 

LIPOSUCTION 

Mac Med performs, loves and 

gets wonderful results with both 

procedures. Coolsculpting Plus 

and Liposuction are permanent 

fat cell removal methods. Selection 

of the right procedure is 

based on the client’s body type 

and fat distribution. 

Coolsculpting Plus (no down 

time) works by freezing fat cells 

which are then reabsorbed by the 

body (eats them up). The original 

cells are no longer able to fill with 

fat. We treat abdomen, thighs, 

arms and bra fat. 

Vaser liposuction breaks fat cells 

up and melts them. The Doctor 

vacuums the fat cells out of 

the body giving you back your 

six pack, your hip shape, your 

smooth back. The Doctor floats 

above your muscle shaping you 

to your former shape. 

This is the answer for larger areas 

like an entire upper and 

lower abdomen, inner and outer 

thighs, knees, necks, love handles 

and bra fat. Liposuction also 

promotes skin tightening. After 

liposuction there is minimal time 

required for wearing a compression 

garment (a must).

Superintendent Armand Pires 

is pleased to announce that Medway 

High School will launch a 

new program to support freshmen 

as they transition from middle 

school this fall. 

The program, called the 

Freshmen Academy, will group 

educators into two teams, serving 

approximately 80 ninth grade 

students each. The teams will include 

English, science, math and 

social studies teachers, as well as 

a counselor and a special education 

teacher who will work together 

to monitor the academic, 

social, emotional and behavioral 

progress of each student. 

“The transition from middle 

school to high school is significant 

in both the academic and 

social emotional aspects of the 

lives of ninth grade students,” 

said Medway High School Principal 

John Murray. “Many students 

find the transition to the 

high school challenging, and 

this program will allow our staff 

to focus on the unique needs of 

each student, and work together 

to provide support.” 

The teacher teams will meet 

during the week to discuss any 

support students may need, and 

will keep a regular dialogue going 

throughout the school year about 

the development of each student. 

This time will also incorporate 

ongoing professional development, 

and will allow teachers to

time and coordination of 

team events, and provide the opportunity 

for teachers to create 

interdisciplinary lessons, units 

of study, and/or experiences like 

field trips. 

The Freshmen Academy support 

system will create a staff 

team that works to support freshmen 

students, without interrupting 

their assimilation to the 

high school. Freshmen students

Millis Students 

Receive Honorable 

Mention in YouTube 

Burn Awareness 

Video Contest 

A Millis team was among 

the Massachusetts high school 

students and their media teachers 

honored for their creative 

YouTube videos as part of 

the 11th annual statewide You- 

Tube TM Burn Awareness Video 

Contest. State Fire Marshal Peter 

J. Ostroskey was joined by contest 

co-sponsors Ron Meehan from 

the Mass. Property Insurance Underwriting 

Association (MPIUA) 

and Capt. Rick Tustin, president 

of the Mass. Association of Safety 

and Fire Educators (MaSAFE), 

Saugus Fire Chief Michael C. 

Newbury of the Fire Chiefs’ Association 

of Massachusetts and 

Peabody Lt. Christopher Dowling, 

president of the Fire Prevention 

Association of Massachusetts. 

The ceremony was held today at 

the Shriners Hospital for Children 

® — Boston. 

The winning videos can be 

seen on the Department of Fire 

Services’ YouTube TM channel at 

www.youtube.com/DFSOSFM. 

Millis received an honorable 

mention for its entry, “Safety 

Huddle,” from students Adriana 

Arguijo, Tyler Gelasco, Peter 

Sanchioni, Zach Whooten, and 

Cody Rossi, who tell the story 

teamwork in fire prevention 

through the lens of how a football 

team operates. This is a fun 

riff on Herb Brooks’ motivational 

speech to the 1980 Olympic 

hockey team. And their final 

message – Fire Safety is a Team 

Effort was something the judges 

appreciated. The filming enhanced 

the story, lending to the 

seriousness of what was trying to 

be accomplished. Teamwork and 

fire prevention are what is important 

in fire safety. Their teacher is 

Ms. Danielle Mannion. 

Thank you, 

St. Jude, 

for prayers 

answered.

the Charles River and its watershed. 

One of our country’s 

first watershed organizations, 

CRWA formed in 1965 in response 

to public concern about 

the declining condition of the 

Charles River. Since its earliest 

days of advocacy, CRWA has 

figured prominently in major 

clean-up and watershed protection 

efforts that have dramatically 

improved the health of the 

Charles. Because of CRWA’s 

efforts in the last 50 years, the 

Charles is considered the cleanest 

urban river in the United 

States by the U.S. E.P.A.

Award-winning 

documentary Bag It! 

Shines Light on seriousness 

of the Plastics Problem 

Join other environmentally 

concerned citizens and community 

leaders at the Millis Public 

Library on Wednesday, April 

17, for a showing of the awardwinning 

film BAG IT. Program 

at 7pm; hospitality begins at 

6:30pm. Free and open to the 

public. 

Bag It follows “Everyman” 

Jeb Berrier as he tries to make 

sense of our dependence on plastic 

bags. Although his quest starts 

out small, Jeb soon learns that 

the problem extends past landfills 

to oceans, rivers and ultimately 

human health. 

The average American uses 

about 500 plastic bags each year, 

for about twelve minutes each. 

This single-use mentality has 

led to the formation of a floating 

island of plastic debris in the 

Pacific Ocean more than twice 

the size of Texas. The film explores 

these issues and identifies 

how our daily reliance on plastic 

threatens not only waterways and 

marine life, but human health, 

too. Two of the most common 

plastic additives are endocrine 

disruptors, which have been 

shown to link to cancer, diabetes, 

autism, attention deficit disorder, 

obesity and infertility. 

The film is brought to you by 

the Millis Garden Club, in partnership 

with the Millis Public Library, 

with the goal of spreading 

awareness of the serious problems 

caused by the proliferation 

of plastic bags.

Don’t Let These 5 Misconceptions 

Keep You from Making a Will 

Have you put off making a 

will? If so, you’re not alone. According 

to a 2017 survey conducted 

by Caring.com, only 42% 

of American adults have estate 

planning documents, like wills 

and living trusts, in place. And 

for those with children under 

age 18, the percentage is even 

lower—36%. 

While preparing a will may 

not be the most pleasant way to 

spend an afternoon, it could be 

the most productive—especially 

for your heirs. Without a valid 

will, your assets could be tied 

up in probate court for months, 

possibly years. What’s more, the 

court will be forced to make decisions 

that may not conform to 

your wishes. 

Why are so many people reluctant 

to take this basic—but 

important—step? In many cases, 

it is the result of five common 

misconceptions: 

1. I’m not wealthy enough to 

need a will. 

If you consider the value of 

your car, furniture, and other 

worldly possessions, you may 

be worth more than you 

think. Plus, some items may 

have sentimental value to 

your heirs and will need to 

be distributed fairly. You can 

also use a will to make legal 

arrangements—such as naming 

a guardian for your minor 

children—that have nothing 

to do with your wealth. 

2. My spouse will inherit 

everything. 

In fact, children from a previous 

marriage may be entitled 

to some assets. Plus, there’s 

always a chance that you and 

your spouse could pass away 

at the same time. If so, the 

distribution of assets could 

get tricky. Also, be aware that 

assets with a designated beneficiary, 

such as life insurance, 

IRAs, or 401(k)s, may bypass 

your spouse if he or she is not 

named as the beneficiary. So 

check periodically to make 

sure your beneficiaries are up 

to date. 

3. All my assets are 

jointly titled. 

Legal titles, such as Joint 

Tenants with Right of Survivorship 

(JTWROS), can be 

helpful when it comes to transitioning 

financial accounts. 

In some cases, however, they 

can make things more complicated—especially 

if the 

joint owner has also passed 

away and no further instructions 

have been provided. 

4. I don’t have any heirs. 

If you don’t have any surviving 

family members, your assets 

can still be put to good 

use. You can leave them to a 

trusted friend, to your alma 

mater, or to a favorite charity. 

5. I’m not ready to set my final 

wishes in stone. 

Updating a will is very common 

and, because circumstances 

can change, almost 

expected. Once the basic 

framework is in place, adjustments 

are relatively easy to 

make and can usually be done 

at a modest cost. 

Please don’t let these 

common misconceptions 

keep you from preparing a 

will. Given the vital role a 

will plays in distributing your 

assets, protecting your loved 

ones, and making sure your 

final wishes are carried out, 

now is the time to seek out a 

qualified attorney and make 

sure you have a legally viable 

will in place.

MacKenzie Smith, a Catcher to Watch 

By Christopher Tremblay, 

Staff Sports Writer 

As far back as she can remember, 

Millis’ MacKenzie Smith 

has always suited up behind the 

plate for her softball teams. The 

reasoning – ex- Red Sox catcher 

Jarrod Saltalamacchia, who 

played for the local nine form 

2010-2013, was a member of 

the 2013 World Series Championship 

squad. 

“After seeing him play, I 

thought that the position looked 

like fun,” the Millis junior said. 

“Being able to be part of every 

play was exciting, and I really like 

the position.” 

It was around the seventh 

grade when she started hearing 

the whispers that she was something 

special behind the plate. 

Although more and more people 

were talking about her skills, the 

young catcher refused to believe 

them until this past year. 

Prior to making the high school 

team Smith play club ball for the 

Metro West Thunder before moving 

up to the Bay State Blaze for 

better opportunities. Although 

a talented catcher as a freshman 

Millis already had a catcher and 

Coach RJ Maturo decided to play 

Smith at second base that season 

to get some playing time. 

“I had never played the position 

in my life,” she said. “I was 

a natural born athlete, but it still 

took me a chunk of the season 

before I was actually comfortable 

with the position.” 

The Mohawk coach was not 

worried in the least. 

“She got a lot of playing time 

that season,” Maturo said. “It 

definitely was a learning curve 

for her, but she was a team 

player with all the tools and very 

coachable.” 

In her first full season behind 

the plate, the then sophomore 

showed that she was truly an 

amazing asset to the team, especially 

with pitcher Abby Doyle 

having some shoulder and elbow 

issues. The young catcher picked 

up on her problems almost immediately, 

but the star pitcher 

wasn’t saying anything, despite 

having her battery mate continually 

sacrificing her body to keep 

balls in front of her. 

“As the primary catcher, I noticed 

something was wrong right 

Young Millis softball captain Mackenzie Smith has proven a great asset 

to her team. 

away, but she was hesitant to fill 

me in,” Smith said. “I know my 

pitchers and knew something 

was wrong so I continued to nag 

her until she told me.” 

Once Smith knew the reasoning 

behind her pitcher’s problems 

the two were able to work 

on a plan that allowed Doyle to 

throw the pitches in a way that 

wouldn’t bother her. 

“We just adjusted her throwing 

techniques,” the Millis 

catcher said. “She battled 

through it for the benefit of the 

team.” 

Maturo, once again, knew 

that he had full faith in his young 

catcher and wasn’t worried. 

“Last year she had a tremendous 

year behind the plate, especially 

with our pitcher battling a 

shoulder injury,” the coach said. 

“There were a lot of balls in the 

dirt, and MacKenzie used her 

defensive ability to keep them in 

front of her.” 

Maturo saw his catcher progress 

through the first half of the 

season really well, and eventually 

teams realized that they could 

not run on the Millis catcher and 

stayed put due to her strong and 

accurate arm. 

Entering her second full season 

as the team’s starting catcher, 

Maturo and the Millis coaching 

staff believe the junior captain is 

primed for a fantastic season. 

“We’re expecting big things 

from her this year,” Maturo said. 

“Her bat has been coming along, 

and she should be a big help to 

our offense this season.” 

Smith doesn’t consider herself 

to be a prolific hitter, but also 

doesn’t believe that she is bad. 

While saying her hitting is nothing 

to brag about, she did have a triple 

in her very first varsity game. 

Last year, the sophomore batted 

.366 with a couple of homeruns. 

Coming into this season being 

named a captain, she knows that 

she has to become more of a 

leader despite her reserved nature. 

“As the catcher, I should be 

the most vocal athlete on the 

field,” Smith said. “Although I’m 

a rather shy individual, I am feeling 

more comfortable with my 

teammates and plan on being 

more vocal this season.” 

In addition to herself overcoming 

fear, she is hoping that 

the entire team gives 110% each 

and every time that they take to 

the field, even on lazy day practices. 

If the team does that then 

she believes that they will once 

again earn a spot in the Division 

3 South Tournament, where she 

is hoping the team exceeds last 

year’s appearance. Millis was 

able to defeat Bourne 13-5 in the 

first round of the playoffs before 

falling to West Bridgewater in 

their second game 3-1. 

With still a little more than a 

year remaining in high school, 

the Millis junior is hoping that 

she will be able to continue to 

play softball in college. 

“It’s always been a dream of 

mine to be part of a softball family 

in college,” she said. “I’ve been to 

clinics at Boston University, talked 

to coaches at Boston College and 

UMASS Lowell and taken part in 

camps at Assumption.” 

Although she would like to 

play close to home, having an 

interest in Marine Biology, she 

could possibly end up going to 

school in the south; either way 

she is hoping to become part of 

a new softball family somewhere.

Millis Girls Quintet Made 2018-19 Season 

All about Achievement 

By KEN HAMWEY, 


The girls basketball team at 

Millis High fell short of winning 

what could have been the 

Mohawks’ fourth State championship 

but their 2018-19 season 

was definitely one for the record 

books. 

And, their season was truly 

unique. 

Never before in the school’s 

history had a girls or boys basketball 

team won a Tri Valley 

League championship, and never 

before had a squad compiled a 

record of 23-2. Also, in Dave 

Fallon’s 12 seasons as the Mohawks’ 

coach, they’ve won three 

State crowns and six Sectional 

titles. During the last six years, his 

teams have won five Sectionals. 

For the post-season record, 

Millis won four Division 3 Sectional 

games, capturing that 

championship by defeating 

David Prouty, Northbridge, Millbury 

and Sutton. Their State 

tourney appearance at American 

International College in Springfield 

ended with a loss to Hoosac 

Valley. 

The Millis girls, however, left 

an indelible memory by turning 

“We’ll Make it a Pleasure 

Whether it’s Vacation or 

Business Travel!” 

their 2018-19 season into one of 

achievement. 

“We’re proud of what we accomplished,’’ 

Fallon said. “It was 

a season of great success. The 

girls worked hard and played 

to their potential. We’re still the 

smallest school in the TVL, but 

to win the league title and to have 

the best record in school history 

speaks to how dynamic the season 

was.’’ 

The Mohawks were at their 

best when they utilized an uptempo 

offensive style and employed 

half-court or full-court 

pressure on defense. And, their 

strengths were obvious. 

“We had athleticism, depth at 

guard and a good mix of experience,’’ 

Fallon emphasized. “Our 

players have high basketball IQs, 

their court awareness is very 

good and their close-knit nature 

was a big asset. They bought into 

their roles and their priority was 

to win, not to compile statistics.’’ 

Winning the sixth Sectional 

crown in Fallon’s 12 years generated 

some big smiles, and 

the coach was humbled by the 

achievement. Although pleased 

with the outcome, he was more 

delighted for his players. 

“I’m happy for the girls,’’ he

Tri Valley League championship for the first time in Millis’ basketball history and compiling a record of 23-2. 

emphasized. “They’ve carved out 

their own path. They’re the ones 

who did the work and put in the 

time. It’s a long season, and I’m 

glad they won a Sectional title.’’ 

Each of the four teams Millis 

faced presented different challenges 

but the Mohawks were 

able to continually adjust. “Millbury 

was our closest game,’’ Fallon 

said. “They were physical 

and they played a tough man-toman 

defense. The key to beating 

them was our execution on offense. 

In the other three games, 

our defense carried us, much the 

way it did during the regular season 

where we finished 19-1.’’

game at a time and embracing 

team chemistry as the intangible 

assets that enabled Millis to soar 

through the Sectional. “Our 

mantra all year was to look at 

what was on our plate, not what 

teams we’d face later,’’ he said. 

“And, our kids meshed and built 

superb team chemistry. They 

compromised, were willing to listen, 

and they paid the price for 

success.’’ 

Capturing the school’s first 

TVL Small Division championship 

was a major achievement. 

The Mohawks went unbeaten at 

10-0 in the division and clinched 

the title by defeating Medway. 

“It was awesome to go undefeated,’’ 

said Fallon. “The girls 

were focused, and they also were 

consistent. Our last four TVL 

games, in order, were against 

Westwood, Medfield, Medway 

and Dedham. We defeated Westwood 

but suffered our only regular-season 

loss against Medfield. 

Both those games were against 

Large Division teams. We then 

beat Medway for the championship 

and finished league play 

by downing Dedham. All four 

of those teams qualified for the 

playoffs.’’ 

Looking to the future, the Mohawks 

should be able to maintain 

their success. Three starters will 

return, and the squad will have 

experience and leadership. “A 

culture of expectation has been 

created,’’ Fallon concluded.

Tourney Loss Aside, Medway Boys 

Quintet Had a Special Season 



Here’s some advice for fans of 

the Medway High boys basketball 

team — don’t let the loss to 

Westboro in the Division 2 Central 

Sectional Tournament lessen 

your regard or your respect for 

what the Mustangs achieved in 

what was a remarkable season. 

There’s no doubt that the 

73-39 loss to Westboro was a 

shock to the system, especially 

after Medway led, 26-25, at halftime 

and by 30-25 early in the 

third quarter. What Medway 

coach Eric Copeland said after 

the game puts the loss in perspective. 

“We got hit by a buzz-saw,’’ 

he said. “The better team won.’’ 

Westboro was a senior-laden 

group, its three guards could score 

and its bench was effective. And, 

during the Rangers’ emphatic 

48-13 run in the second half, 

forward Dominic Casparriello 

poured in 16 of his 21 points. “It 

felt like they shot 70 percent in 

that half,’’ Copeland noted. 

As strange as this may sound, 

the Mustangs should be proud. 

Proud of the way their season 

started and finished. Their 

overall record of 19-5 included 

a 10-game winning streak, the 

championship of the Walpole 

Holiday Tournament, the Tri 

Valley League’s Small Division 

title and two decisive triumphs 

(Burncoat and Groton-Dunstable) 

in the Sectional tourney. 

“We accomplished some 

things, because the kids bonded 

well and core values were embraced,’’ 

Copeland said. “The 

boys realized how hard they had 

to work to get results and they 

accepted accountability. They 

fully understood what our staff 

stressed — the next drill, the next 

practice, the next possession, the 

next game. That philosophy put 

us in a position to overcome any 

adversity.’’ 

The Walpole tourney during 

the Christmas break provided a 

glimpse that good things could 

be on the horizon. The Mustangs 

defeated a traditionally strong Bay 

State League squad in Walpole, 

then won the tourney by downing 

Scituate, which later advanced to 

the Division 2 South Sectional 

semifinals. 

After a regular-season loss to 

Dover-Sherborn, which won the 

Division 3 Sectional, the Mustangs 

rolled to 10 straight wins, 

one of which included a road 

victory over Bellingham that 

clinched the TVL crown. 

“Eleven of our 12 players said 

at the start of the season that winning 

the league title was a goal,’’ 

Copeland recalled. “We beat Bellingham 

which had a senior group 

and some good sophomores. The 

league has quality teams. Five of 

the six teams in our division were 

in the playoffs. The kids displayed 

an unselfish style and did the little 

things that lead to success.’’ 

Then came the sectional where 

Medway posted a pair of decisive 

victories. Burncoat was defeated, 

63-32, and the Mustangs topped 

Groton-Dunstable, 52-43, before 

bowing to Westboro. 

“Our team did exceed expectations,’’ 

Copeland said. “It was 

a group that cared for each other 

and understood that being mediocre 

was not okay. They were upset 

after the Westboro game and 

that’s because they had invested 

their emotions and their physical 

ability into a long season. It’s supposed 

to hurt when it’s over. For 

me, I was pleased at how coachable 

they were and how willing 

they were to be pushed.’’ 

Copeland admitted that two 

early-season victories over Dedham 

and Norton provided a clue 

that the Mustangs had a special 

group. And, that pair of threepoint 

triumphs was evidence that 

Medway would have no trouble 

adjusting or transitioning to a new 

coach. “Dedham was the defending 

TVL Small champion and 

Norton was the defending TVL 

Large Division champ,’’ Copeland 

noted. 

When he took the coaching 

reins, Copeland listed four 

goals he was hoping would be 

achieved. He wanted to build a 

program that was respected for its 

work ethic; he wanted to have a 

strong relationship with the youth 

program; a TVL Small Division 

title was a third objective; and 

qualifying for the playoffs was the 

fourth. Every one of those goals 

was achieved. 

Copeland, who’s coached 

as an assistant at Medway and 

Franklin, has a message for 

Medway fans going forward. It’s 

about expectations. “We’ve got a 

capable core group returning,’’ 

he said. “But, they’ll be a target 

on our backs. We have to manage 

expectations, and I hope that in 

November our guys understand 

the challenge ahead. Expectations 

will definitely be high.’’ 

Medway High boys’ basketball reached great heights this year, just 

falling short of the sectional title, but players now know the hard work 

needed, and they’ll be a force next season.

Millis Spikers Aiming for Return to Tournament 



508-429-2535 

Propane Open Sat & Sun 

Gas Grill Tanks Filled 

Millis boys’ volleyball has strength among its players this year, as well as a team spirit. 

The Millis High boys’ volleyball 

team always seems like a 

sure thing when playoff berths 

are being announced. For the 

last 13 years, coach Jay Guinan’s 

Mohawks have participated in 

the tourney 10 times, but, unfortunately, 

last season wasn’t one of 

them after the Mohawks finished 

with a 7-12 record. 

“It’s like being a Patriots fan 

and having high expectations 

in the playoffs,’’ Guinan said. 

“Tournament volleyball at Millis 

is an expectation.’’ 

When one of Guinan’s squads 

fails to earn a playoff berth, what 

seems to follow are three or four 

consecutive seasons that include 

the Mohawks in the post-season 

mix. This year, the goals are similar 

to what they’ve been in the 

past. Improving daily and qualifying 

for the tourney are highpriority 

objectives. 

How quickly Millis can 

achieve those goals may be a bit 

more difficult to forecast this season 

because the Mohawks have 

left the Western Alliance. They’re 

now a member of the newlyformed 

Tri Valley League (the 

conference is 53 years old, but it 

never included boys’volleyball). 

The league’s members, besides 

Millis, are Medfield, Bellingham, 

Norton, Nipmuc, Norwood and 

Milford. 

“Milford could be the team to 

beat,’’ Guinan said. “They’ve got 

a strong tradition. But, there really 

isn’t any squad in the league 

that’s automatically No. 1. I’d 

rate us to finish in the middle of 

the pack.’’ 

The Mohawks, nevertheless, 

have a roster that’s got some 

capable competitors with some 

well-defined strengths. 

“We’ve got some size and 

quickness, our attack is progressing 

and we’ve got blocking 

capability,’’ said Guinan, who’s 

been coaching volleyball for 30 

years. “The team’s volleyball 

IQ is good, and we’ve got some 

experience. One area where we 

need to focus on is our mental 

preparation. That means getting 

to know the competition and 

becoming educated about the

sport. A big key is a player’s first 

touch on the ball. It has to be his 

best, whether it’s a pass, a block a 

serve or a set.’’ 

Guinan’s nucleus for the new 

campaign is comprised of one senior 

and five juniors. 

Senior Kyle Quinzani is ticketed 

for duty at either middle or 

left hitter. “Kyle’s main strength 

is his jumping ability,’’ Guinan 

said. “He blocks well, his arm 

speed is quick and his power 

game is good. He’s in the six-foot 

range.’’ 

Junior Evan Simmons, whose 

brother Chris was a quality 

player during the 2015 and 2016 

seasons, will be counted on as a 

right-side hitter. “Evan is about 

5-foot-11,’’ Guinan said. “He’s 

got good court sense and he’s got 

great hands. On the varsity since 

his freshman year, his volleyball 

IQ is high.’’ 

Junior Josh Bergman is a 

John’s 

family owned and operated for 45 years 

5-foot-11 outside hitter who also 

has been on the team since his 

freshman year. “Josh has power, 

good court sense and he passes 

effectively,’’ Guinan said. “He’s 

very quick and he’s a smart 

player who’s skilled and technically 

sound.’’ 

Junior Lucas Graham, a sixfooter 

who competed at setter last 

year, could be utilized this season 

as either a right or left-side hitter. 

“He’s got power, quickness and 

a high volleyball IQ,’’ Guinan 

said. “Lucas can block capably 

and is progressing as an attacker. 

He’s been on the team since his 

freshman year.’’ 

Marcus Vorpahl is another 

junior who’ll be counted on at 

setter. “Marcus has good hands 

and his court awareness is excellent,’’ 

Guinan noted. “His disposition 

is great. He dictates the 

tempo, is cool under pressure 

and he makes good choices. A

major strength is his first-touch 

ability. It’s solid.’’ 

Rounding out the nucleus is 

5-foot-11 junior Nolan Schmitz, 

who’ll play either middle or left 

hitter. “Nolan has decent arm 

speed, moves quickly, and reads 

blocks well,’’ Guinan said. “He 

scored points last year, and we’ll 

need his offensive game to keep 

improving.’’ 

The reserves include Andrew 

Finley, Sam Elias, Tyler 

Gelasco, Sydney Price, and Max 

Jakubowski. 

Guinan, who’s coached at 

four other high schools and three 

colleges, relies on an athletic philosophy 

that focuses on winning, 

reaching one’s potential and having 

fun. “We practice and compete 

to win and if players are 

improving and also having fun, 

then that spells success,’’ Guinan 

said. “Sports teach valuable life 

lessons, like accountability, leadership 

and overcoming adversity 

but they also help a player to 

keep striving for achievement. 

And, achievement occurs when 

there’s discipline and commitment.’’ 

A firm believer that volleyball 

requires intelligence, Guinan says 

“it’s 10 percent physical and 90 

percent mental.’’ So, when he’s 

assembling a roster, he looks for 

more than the obvious aspects 

(height, skills and athleticism). He 

aims to add players who are likable, 

smart and sincere. “When 

you have players with no diva 

attitudes, they tend to work hard 

and have a sincere respect for 

their teammates, the school and 

the sport,’’ he emphasized. 

Besides competing against 

the teams in the TVL, Millis has 

scheduled non-league matches 

against some of its rivals from 

the Western Alliance. Other opponents 

include Xaverian, Boston 

College High, St. John’s Prep 

of Danvers, St. John’s of Shrewsbury, 

Assabet and King Philip. 

For 2019, the Mohawks will 

be aiming for a bounce-back season 

— a campaign that gets them 

back to familiar territory. And, 

at Millis, familiar territory is all 

about the tournament landscape.

officials in Franklin, Bellingham, 

and Medway, and developing exciting 

concepts for consideration 

going forward with The Charles 

River Meadowlands project, 

which received state funding 

thanks to local representatives. 

They have also helped identify 

real obstacles, for example potential 

rare-species areas that will 

likely have to be avoided.

Greater Boston Association of Realtors 

Recognizes Local Realtor 

Medway - The Greater Boston 

Real Estate Board recently 

recognized Paul Rao for his 40 

years as a Realtor® at their traveling 

REALTOUR event for the 

MetroWest region. The presentation 

was made by James Major, 

President of the Greater Boston 

Association of Realtors, at the 

Crown Plaza hotel in Natick. 

Rao started with Page Realty 

as an agent in 1979. He later purchased 

the firm with his brother, 

Al in 1986. The company was 

affiliated with Prudential Real 

Estate until 2013 and is currently 

a member of the Berkshire Hathaway 

HomeServices network. 

Rao recently sold his share of 

the 56-year-old company and 

relinquished management responsibilities 

to focus solely on 

working with buyers and sellers 

to help them achieve their real 

estate goals. 

“I am blessed to have had 

this fulfilling career and helped 

hundreds of families achieve the 

‘American Dream’ of owning 

their own home,” said Rao. “My 

company has helped well over 

10,000 families purchase and sell 

homes over the last several decades, 

which I take a lot of pride 

in. I look forward to continuing 

this proud tradition of making 

dreams come true.” 

To provide the most comprehensive 

service possible, Rao has 

partnered with one of Medway’s 

top upcoming agents, Kim Ellis. 

The RE Team brings a wealth of 

experience and success to their 

clients. Ellis is a highly respected 

Realtor® who strives to educate, 

advise, support, and guide all her 

clients through the real estate 

process. Her success is based on 

client trust as she gives 110% to 

identify her clients’ needs and 

help them reach their goals. “I 

am really excited about working 

with Kim, as she encompasses a 

SOLD 

lot of the same values that I hold 

dear. She really goes above and 

beyond for her clients,” stated 

Rao. 

Together, Rao and Ellis form a 

dynamic team, working together 

to ensure the home buying and 

selling processes go smoothly. 

One of them is always reachable 

and responsive, delivering strong 

real estate skill sets to best meet 

their clients’ needs. Nothing succeeds 

like success, and nothing 

takes the place of experience.

Client Testimonial to Laina Kaplan: 

“Laina was amazing from day one; she’s fantastic to work with and we would recommend her to 

anyone looking to buy and/or sell their home! She is organized, detail oriented, in constant contact, 

an invaluable asset in the home buying and selling process. Thanks to her the sale of our home was 

as smooth as could be, and we were thrilled with every aspect of the process.....Her experience in 

the industry and her calm, confident, reassuring attitude was greatly appreciated. We can’t thank 

Laina enough for all of her hard work on our sale & new home purchase. She truly provides excellent 

service that continually goes above and beyond - THANK YOU!!” – Ryan and SaRa CamyRe
