Medway Community 

Farm to Celebrate 

10 th Anniversary 

Newest Initiatives Include Hoedown 

Fundraiser & Food Pantry Program 

By J.D. O’Gara 

Medway Community Farm 

is approaching its 10-year mark, 

and with that milestone, as things 

age, “we are in dire need for 

some capital improvement,” says 

volunteer Tina Wright. 

What better way to raise some 

funds than a party? Get ready 

for some fun to benefit Medway 

Community Farm! A fundraiser 

Hoedown will take place at the 

Thayer House on Saturday, November 

9, 2019, from 7 p.m. until 

11 p.m. 

“There will be music, some 

line dancing, a silent auction, and 

an overall fun time!” says Tina 

Wright, volunteer for the farm. 

She adds that music will include 

country favorites but also 70’s, 

80’s and 90’s dance tunes by Al 

Kennedy of KTK Sound, so the 

night will include something for 

everyone. 

The 21+ event will also feature 

light appetizers from locally 

grown food from the farm. Proceeds 

from the sale of tickets, 

which will be $35, will help pay 

for a new water pump for irrigating 

the fields, a washing station, 

greenhouses, as well as a new 

tractor. 

“We have two vintage tractors 

to weed the rows, now,” says 

Wright, “probably from 1955.” 

The 10 th anniversary of the 

Medway Community Farm 

comes with nearly a complete 

changeover of board leadership. 

“There are a lot of new mem-

to students for the first time on 

Tuesday, September 4. This was 

a day of celebration but also a 

day to reflect upon the gratitude 

felt towards the citizenry of Millis 

for their support in making 

this dream happen for the CFB 

school community. 

Ground breaking for the new 

building was held in December 

2017, and construction commenced 

soon after. The CFB 

school community and the town 

watched with interest as the 

site was cleared and preparations 

made to begin pouring the 

building foundation. Over the 

winter and into the spring, we 

watched the skeletal framework 

of the building take shape and 

gradually acquire an internal 

framework for walls and other 

structures. When students and 

staff returned at the start of the 

2018-2019 school year, the shape 

of the building was in place, and 

excitement was electric when we 

all returned from Thanksgiving 

break to find walls completed 

and window frames in place! 

Over the winter and into the 

spring construction continued 

internally, and CFB teachers 

and staff were given a “sneak 

preview” escorted tour by the 

project team Compass Management 

and Agostini-Bacon Construction. 

The school was now 

feeling less conceptual and more 

real, and Diane Jurmain of the 

Elementary School Building 

Committee shared out information 

about building progress to 

the community on Facebook. By 

the time school ended in June, 

classrooms were packed to move 

and events were held to honor 

the memory of the 1954 Clyde 

F. Brown school, including the 

creation of a 2019 time capsule 

interred within the new building 

and open house “farewell” tours 

at the old building. 

Over the summer, prior to 

the start of school, CFB held 

“Find Your Way Days,” with 

student leaders assisting students 

and families as they completed a 

scavenger hunt of places to find 

around the new school. This 

was helpful to the school community 

as school opened and 

students and families adjusted to 

new routines and procedures. A 

major highlight of the opening 

include an official ribbon cutting 

ceremony, held on September 7, 

with the citizens of Millis and invited 

to attend and speakers Jack 

McCarthy (Deputy CEO/Ex- 

Elementary School Building 

Committee), Superintendent of 

School Nancy Gustafson, and 

Principal Jason Phelps participating. 

Clyde F. Brown Student 

Leaders, who also served as tour 

guides later, were on hand to provide 

a musical selection as they 

sang the unofficial school song 

“Sweet Clyde F. Brown.” 

As the new school year gets 

underway, teachers and staff 

reflect upon the curriculum and 

programming planning that we 

have done to prepare us for educating 

children in a state-of-the 

art, 21 st Century school. In the 

younger grades, students will 

find more opportunites to personalize 

their learning through 

adaptive learning platforms, accessed 

by Chromebooks, as well

FSPA Celebrates 35th Anniversary 

In 1985, lifetime Franklin resident 

Raye Lynn Mercer, director, 

pianist, and educator, departed 

from her private studio of 35 

piano students with a vision and 

opened the doors of the Franklin 

School for the Performing 

Arts (FSPA) at 38 Main Street 

in Franklin. Offering the region 

a one-of-a-kind performing arts 

education program that includes 

music, dance, and drama under 

one roof, FSPA Celebrates its 

35th Anniversary Season this 

year. 

The anniversary celebrations 

began with a back-to-school toast 

at 38 Main Street for faculty and 

FSPA families past and present. 

The year’s festivities will include 

an anniversary alumni concert 

and celebration at THE BLACK 

BOX over Thanksgiving weekend, 

a special February cabaret 

featuring current students, 

faculty, alumni, and Broadway 

friends of FSPA at one of NYC’s 

most prestigious cabaret venues, 

the 35th Spring Concert in May, 

and more. 

Through the years, FSPA has 

cultivated relationships with performers 

and guest teachers who 

are currently dominating their 

artistic fields. These artists are 

able to mentor FSPA students 

through the school’s annual NYC 

master class weekend as well as 

special workshops held at the 

school. “I wish I had a Franklin 

School for the Performing Arts in 

my life when I was growing up,” 

says Tony Award winner Beth 

Franklin School for the 

Performing Arts Director Raye 

Lynn Mercer 

Leavel. “It’s invaluable.” 

FSPA’s alumni have a long 

track record of success. Students 

have gone on to appear on Broadway, 

in national tours, regional 

theater, professional ballet companies, 

TV, feature film, opera, 

cruise ships, concert dance, and 

more. Alum Dan Gleason, currently 

in Wicked on Broadway, 

says of his FSPA beginnings, “ I 

owe a lot of my consistent vocal 

health and technique to my years 

at FSPA. Healthy singing habits 

were ingrained in my body and 

now are second nature. FSPA set 

me up for success in life and I am 

so thankful for my years of training 

in my hometown.” 

FSPA founder Raye Lynn 

Mercer believes that an education 

in the performing arts, 

whether or not pursued for a professional 

career, provides young 

people with lasting life skills. 

Students of the arts develop personal 

attributes including focus, 

discipline, self-esteem, and an 

understanding of teamwork. Superior 

communication and social 

skills become attributes of students 

who pursue music, dance, 

and drama. Conservatory and 

career bound students, as well as 

those who attend classes for fun, 

gain a sense of accomplishment 

and the confidence they need to 

succeed in all endeavors. FSPA 

violin instructor Irina Fainkichen 

says of the school’s environment, 

“I see FSPA as a second home for 

many students. Besides all the opportunities 

this school provides, 

and believe me, there are so 

many, I love that everybody has 

so much fun together. We are like

Millis Select Board Grants Millis Plastic 

Reduction Initiative a Warrant Article 


Members of the Millis Plastic 

Reduction Initiative (MPRI) 

presented their environmentally-friendly 

case for a change 

to Millis bylaws to the Millis 

Select Board on Monday, September 

16 th . The citizens’ group 

hopes to reduce the use of plastics 

and plastic waste in town by 

becoming the 123 rd municipality 

in Massachusetts to ban thinfilmed, 

single-use plastic bags at 

checkout at retail locations in 

town. 

Presenting members of the 

group noted that: 

• the town of Millis uses an 

estimated 4.3 million plastic 

bags a year 

• plastic bags are not biodegradable 

and only with the 

presence of light take 200 to 

1,000 years to break down 

in the environment 

• plastic breaks up into tiny 

particles that infiltrate every 

step in the food chain 

• eliminating this waste will 

aid the town’s effort to 

create a cleaner recycling 

stream, possibly saving 

money 

The town’s Select Board 

voted unanimously to place 

MPRI’s proposed bylaw as an 

article on the November 4 town 

meeting warrant. The Millis Select 

Board explained that it was 

neither recommending nor opposing 

the actual measure, but 

allowing the article to move forward. 

The group will present its 

case to the Millis Finance Committee 

on October 2 nd . 

In April, the Millis Plastic 

Reduction Initiative showed the 

movie Bag It at the Millis Public 

Library and plans to show 

this film there again on October 

29 th , at 2 p.m. For updates,

Dean College Students Participate in Banner 

Ceremony at the New England Patriots Home Opener 

Close to 200 Dean College 

students projected enthusiasm as 

they participated in the banner 

ceremony at New England Patriots’ 

home opener at Gillette 

Stadium. 

The students, composed of 

Arts and Entertainment Management, 

Business, Communications, 

Dance, Sports Broadcasting 

and Sport Management majors, 

assisted in rolling out a 50-yardlong 

banner that would eventually 

become a projection screen 

with a Patriots highlight reel for 

the crowd to enjoy, as the six-time 

Super Bowl champions revealed 

their latest banner. 

This was not a job for the 

weak; students were split into 

two groups and tasked as a team 

to carry two banners that would 

eventually become one to the 

center of the field … as quick as 

lightening. They then assembled 

the banner, holding the edges 

in place to create a blank canvas 

and set the stage for Patriots 

legends Drew Bledsoe, Ty Law, 

Willie McGinest, Rob Ninkovich 

and Rob Gronkowski and the 

CEO of the New England Patriots, 

Robert Kraft, who each held 

a trophy representing the team’s 

past Super Bowl victories.

St. Michael’s Celebrates 60 Years 

To Celebrate Applefest and Blessing of the 

Animals this Month 


St. Michael’s Episcopal 

Church, which has welcomed a 

number of congregants from the 

former St. Paul’s Church of Millis 

(as well as stained glass windows 

from the latter), celebrated 

its 60 th anniversary on Sunday, 

September 29 th , 2019, the Feast 

of St. Michael’s and All Angels, 

and it’s got more planned for its 

anniversary week. 

On Saturday, October 5 th , 

St. Michael’s will hold its annual 

rain or shine Applefest 

Fair on Saturday October 5 th 

at 1162 Highland Street, Holliston, 

from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. 

The fair will feature a bake sale, 

basket raffle, children’s activities 

(including face painting, pumpkin 

painting, cookie decorating 

and a bouncy house (weather 

permitting)), homemade jams, 

jellies and pickles at a Country 

Store, food and beverages from 

“Bob’s Grill,” homemade apple 

crisp, and an indoor tag sale 

from “Aunt Stella’s Attic” with 

hundreds of items at spectacular 

prices. 

The day after Applefest, on 

October 6 th , St. Michael’s will 

honor St. Francis of Assisi with 

its Blessing of the Animals service 

at 10 a.m. Folks are invited 

to bring their suitably leashed 

or caged animal friends to the 

service. 

“The Blessing of the Animals 

is one of the most favorite services 

of the entire year,” says St. 

Michael’s Reverend Sarah Robbins-Cole. 

“It’s a cacophony of 

meows and barks and sometimes 

chickens and bunnies. I think in 

the past there may have been a 

goat or two. It’s just a lot of fun. 

It’s very noisy, and a lot of fun.” 

Robbins-Cole has been pastor 

at St. Michael’s for five years. 

The church officially began on 

Sunday, September 20, 1959, 

with the Rt. Rev. Anson Stokes, 

Bishop of Massachusetts, conducted 

the commissioning service 

for the new mission. For 

over a year, service would be 

held at Holliston Town Hall 

by The Rev. George L. Packard, 

Priest-in-Charge, before it 

moved to a space above Harold 

Youngling’s hardware store 

on Washington Street, where 

Fiske’s now operates. The parishioners 

held many fundraisers 

to be able to build a church 

building on the three acres of 

property at 1162 Highland St. in 

Holliston, which the diocese had 

purchased for $8,000 in 1960. 

There, it built a strong congregation. 

“St. Michael’s is just filled 

with warm and wonderful people. 

They’re very welcoming – 

that’s what we hear most,” says 

Robbins-Cole. “Clergy who fill 

in here on a Sunday if I’m away 

will ask me if the congregation is 

as warm and wonderful as they 

seem. It’s filled with lots of interesting 

people, and I think a distinctive 

feature of the church is 

how much they love to help the 

community around them.” 

Congregants have helped 

Habitat for Humanity, have 

made lunches for building project 

volunteers and for area shelters 

and food pantries, and have 

gone to Appalachia to help repair 

houses with their bi-yearly, 

intergenerational Appalachia 

Service Project. 

Robbins-Cole says the group 

is committed to Christian formation, 

with a strong Sunday 

School program and an opportunity 

for adults to learn more 

in its Sunday morning forum at 

9 a.m. On Tuesdays, the church 

features a Bible study, and it 

even boasts a book group. Leading 

up to Christmas, during Advent, 

adults can also take part in 

Companions in Christ for more 

learning and fellowship, she 

says. 

“Another distinctive feature 

of our church is we have a really 

committed choir, with a choir 

director and organist who are 

really fun to work with and have 

really great music to sup our services,” 

says Robbins-Cole. 

As with any anniversary, says 

Robbins-Cole, a time for reflection 

arises. 

“It’s a reminder to turn where 

God is calling us at any particular 

time as the culture around us 

may change, and it’s an opportunity 

to grow on our strengths. 

We have a mission statement 

which I think stands the test of 

time – that we are a Christian 

Community whose vision is to 

strengthen our relationship with 

God and one another, and to 

spread God’s love. I think that at 

the 60 th anniversary, we will give 

thanks for all the ways that we 

did that in the past and continue 

that mission and understand 

that calling in changing circumstances 

and context.” 

Things, she says, aren’t really 

that different from Biblical 

times. 

“When you study the Bible, 

you see the kind of issues that 

we’re dealing with and facing 

are the same issues going on 

3,000 years ago,” she says. The 

Bible is constantly telling us to 

love the stranger, feed the hungry, 

clothe the prisoner, heal the 

sick, visit the lonely and lose the 

bonds of the oppressed. That’s 

going on for years and years.

M.E.R.I.T. Haunted Hayride October 19th 


Come dig up a few friends 

and drag them over to Tangerini’s 

Farm on October 19th 

where M.E.R.I.T. (Millis Educational 

Resource Initiatives 

Team) is brewing up a hairraising 

Halloween haunt for its 

Annual Haunted Hayride. The 

event will take place beginning 

at 4:30, with a less creepy adventure 

from 4:30-6:30 and the 

more devilishly dreadful antics 

taking place from 6:30-10 p.m. 

Refreshments, such as cookies, 

water, hot chocolate and popcorn, 

will be available for $1. 

Tickets are $10. 

“I always like to point out 

that spooky is still spooky, so use 

your judgment when it comes 

to young children,” says Theresa 

Mahoney, President of the 

M.E.R.I.T. Board of Directors. 

According to Mahoney, the 

annual affair is generally planned 

with a skeleton crew. “We’re always 

looking for fresh blood,” 

she muses. “We could always 

use more volunteers, as with 

any nonprofit organization. We 

do appreciate the volunteers we 

have running the scare stations. 

We couldn’t do it without 

them.” 

This is the biggest fundraiser 

of the year for the all-volunteer 

organization that funds educational 

initiatives in the Millis 

Public Schools, although it will 

also host a scarecrow decorating 

contest at the Millis Middle 

School this year, in which classrooms 

will take turns creating the 

creepy characters, and families 

purchase tickets to vote for their 

favorites. The tickets later act as 

a raffle of sorts, with the winning 

family collecting the scarecrow 

for their home. 

Unlike previous years, the 

Haunted Hayride will have an 

alternate date, in case of catastrophic 

weather. 

“Last year we had to cancel it 

in the first time ever in the history 

of the hayride, because safety 

was a concern, which was hard 

for us,” says Mahoney. “This 

year, for the first time, we do have 

a nor’easter date – still rain or 

shine—but in case of imminent 

death—it’s October 26th.” 

Mahoney says the group 

hopes to sell 700 tickets to the 

Haunted Hayride. Tickets will be 

available for sale starting October 

first at Roche Bros. and Tangerini’s, 

and two ticket sales, on 

October 5th and October 12th, 

will be held from 10 a.m. until 3 

p.m. at the Millis Public Library. 

Mahoney would also like to 

scare up a few corporate sponsors 

both for the event and to 

increase fund the group has for 

grants. MERIT has given back 

to the schools over $300,000 

since 1991, welcoming applications 

from teachers, administrators 

and residents for proposals 

that address curriculum-related 

learning projects. Projects should 

enhance and improve the educational 

services of the Millis Public 

School system. 

Last year, for example, grants 

M.E.R.I.T. (Millis Educational 

Resource Initiatives Team) will 

hold its annual Haunted Hayride 

at Tangerini’s Spring Street 

Farm on October 19th, rain or 

shine. (N’oreaster date: Oct. 26)

M.E.R.I.T.

trip to the international WWII 

Museum, a Vocational Office 

Skills Project for special education,

a program on creating a 

multi-sensory, multi-movement 

classroom, a biome building project 

and more. M.E.R.I.T. is currently 

accepting grant proposals,

Cataract Surgery: Time to be Panoptimistic! 

By Roger M. Kaldawy, M.D., 

Milford Franklin Eye Center 

The U.S. Food and Drug 

Administration has recently 

approved the first cataract intraocular 

lens implant that provides 

cataract patients with an 

extended depth-of-focus, which 

helps improve their sharpness 

of vision (visual acuity) at near, 

intermediate and far distances. 

The PanOptix Lens is here, a 

masterpiece in design and function 

and a real advancement in 

cataract surgery implants. 

Cataracts are a common eye 

condition where the natural lens 

becomes clouded, impairing a 

patient’s vision. According to the 

National Eye Institute, more than 

20% of Americans will have cataracts 

by the age of 65, and the 

prevalence increases with age. 

In cataract surgery, the clouded 

natural lens is removed and replaced 

with an intraocular lens 

implant. While intraocular lenses 

have been the mainstay of cataract 

treatment for many years, 

we continue to see advances in 

this technology. The PanOptix 

Lens implant provides a new option 

for patients that may result 

in better vision across a broader 

range of distances. 

Traditional monofocal implants 

have been limited to improving 

distance vision. With 

those traditional implants, only 

one distance is corrected, so if 

you choose to correct for distance 

only, close-up vision is blurry… 

and vice versa…The PanOptix 

Lens implant improves visual 

acuity at close, intermediate and 

far ranges and, therefore, will 

reduce the need for patients to 

wear contact lenses or glasses 

after cataract surgery. 

At the time of cataract surgery, 

you have the opportunity 

to enhance your vision with the 

PanOptix Lens. Through a tiny 

incision, the surgeon removes 

your clouded lens. The surgeon 

replaces your original lens with

96% Patient satisfaction. 

the PanOptix Lens. The PanOptix 

Lens enhances your vision for 

clear, complete focus. With the 

PanOptix Lens, you can seize 

every day. Without cataracts. 

Without hesitation. Without 

holding back. 

PanOptix is clinically shown 

to deliver an exceptional combination 

of near, intermediate, 

and distance vision while 

reducing the need for glasses 

after surgery. PanOptix is one 

of the leading presbyopiacorrecting 

IOLs in more than 

70 countries and is now available 

in the US after FDA approval. 

In a clinical study, 129 

patients were asked about their 

experience with the PanOptix 

Lens: 99% of people with the 

PanOptix Lens would choose 

the same lens again. 98% of 

people with the PanOptix Lens 

would recommend it to family 

and friends. PanOptix patients 

demonstrated exceptional, uninterrupted 

vision. The results 

showed high patient satisfaction. 

Imagine how you could use 

clear, complete vision. Spot a familiar 

face, drive a car, watch TV, 

see at arm’s length with enhanced 

intermediate vision, read a menu, 

see the mirror, use a computer, 

read a book, take up crafting, use 

a cell phone. Do all of those tasks 

with no or little dependence on 

glasses. The PanOptix Lens is a 

once-in-a-lifetime opportunity 

that opens up a million more. 

The PanOptix lens implant is 

also available in four toric models, 

which are indicated for the 

reduction of residual refractive 

astigmatism or imperfections 

in the curvature of the 

eye. This availability means 

that distance, intermediate and 

close vision are all corrected 

in addition and at the same 

time as correcting astigmatism. 

Cataract surgery is all about 

better precision, more safety 

and excellent outcomes. At Milford 

Franklin Eye Center, Dr. 

Kaldawy is proud to have been 

the first surgeon in the area and 

among the first in Massachusetts 

to offer bladeless laser assisted 

cataract surgery and the first surgeon 

in the greater Boston area 

to implant the new PanOptix 

lens implant. We are happy to 

bring this technology to the area. 

The top five teaching hospitals 

in the nation offer bladeless laser 

cataract surgery. We offer the 

same. We implant high quality 

premium lenses only, with correction 

for distance, near and everything 

in between. Many cases 

of astigmatism are no longer a 

problem as these implants can 

now be offered even if you have 

astigmatism. Our percentage of 

posterior capsule complications 

and infections is one of the lowest 

in the nation. No more need 

to travel hours for your cataract 

surgery! We operate in a state-ofthe-art 

surgery center in Milford 

offering bladeless laser cataract 

surgery. 100% of the surgeries 

are performed under topical anesthesia, 

so only drops, no need 

for shots around or behind the 

eye and their risks and no need 

for stitches. No knife, no shots, no 

stitch surgery. 

Cataract surgery results second 

to none here, closer to home, 

in Milford and now with the new 

Panoptic implant, it is time to 

be Panoptimistic!

Dean College 

Presents: 

Radium Girls, 

October 17-20, 2019 

The School of the Arts at 

Dean College will perform Radium 

Girls, beginning Thursday, 

October 17 through Sunday, 

October 20, 2019. 

In 1926, radium was a miracle 

cure, Madame Curie an international 

celebrity, and luminous 

watches the latest rage—until the 

girls who painted them began to 

fall ill with a mysterious disease. 

Inspired by a true story, Radium 

Girls traces the efforts of Grace 

Fryer, a dial painter, as she fights 

for her day in court. Written 

with warmth and humor, and 

envisioned by guest director 

Aaron Andrade, Radium Girls is a 

fast-moving, highly theatrical ensemble 

piece. Called a «powerful» 

and «engrossing» drama by 

critics, it offers a wry, unflinching 

look at the peculiarly American 

obsessions with health, wealth, 

and the commercialization of 

science. 

Radium Girls is presented by 

special arrangement with Dramatic 

Publishing. 

The Dean College production 

of Radium Girls will take place in 

the Main Stage in the Campus 

Center at Dean College, 109 

West Central Street, Franklin at 

7:30 p.m. Thursday – Saturday 

and 2 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. 

General admission is $22, 

Seniors $12 and Children $7.

tickets, visit www.dean.edu/boxoffice.

Dean College Ranks 

Among the Top Best 

Regional Colleges 

Dean College, a private, residential 

college located in Franklin, 

Massachusetts, has been 

ranked 25th in the 2020 U.S. 

News & World Report Best Colleges 

rankings for the Best Regional 

Colleges, North category. 

This is the ninth consecutive 

year that Dean College has received 

the Best College honor. 

“We are thrilled to be recognized 

by U.S. News and our 

peer institutions once again 

this year,” said Dr. Paula M. 

Rooney, Dean College President. 

“It signals the overall 

strength of Dean’s academic 

experience and the emphasis 

we place on student success.” 

U.S. News & World Report is 

a multi-platform, publisher of 

news and information. The U.S. 

News ranking system for the 

Best Regional Colleges rests on 

two pillars. The formula uses 

quantitative measures that education 

experts have proposed as 

reliable indicators of academic 

quality, and it is based on research 

of what matters in education, 

including: graduation 

rate performance, academic 

reputation, and financial selectivity 

among others. 

This year’s ranking is a testament 

to The Dean Difference – 

the hands-on and engaging 

faculty & staff, strong academic 

support, valuable internships, 

and real-life workforce preparation 

that Dean College provides.

the Theatre Group of Millis 

performs Ken Ludwig’s Baskerville: 

A Sherlock Holmes Mystery/Comedy. 

Performance 

dates are Friday, October 18 at 

7:30 pm, and Saturday, October

madcap retelling of the ultimate 

Victorian whodunit from the 

mastermind of mayhem, Ken 

Ludwig. 

A stunningly nimble cast of 

five takes on nearly 40 characters, 

coming on and off stage almost 

as quickly as the twists and

Medway Public Schools Host Ribbon Cutting 

Ceremony for New Playground at McGovern School 

On September 19th, 2019, 

Medway Public Schools held a 

ribbon cutting ceremony for a 

brand-new playground at Mc- 

Govern Elementary at 9 Lovering 

Street in Medway. 

“Recess is an important part 

of the school day where kids can 

interact with one another outside 

of a classroom setting and spend 

some time outdoors. Having 

this brand-new equipment with 

lots of different activities to do 

will help to enhance recess and 

also provide a great space for 

the community to come out and 

play after school, Superintendent 

Pires said. 

On September 19th, 2019, 

Medway Public Schools held a 

ribbon cutting ceremony for a 

brand-new playground at Mc- 

Govern Elementary at 9 Lovering 

Street in Medway. 

“Recess is an important part 

of the school day where kids can 

interact with one another outside

this brand-new equipment with 

lots of different activities to do 

will help to enhance recess and 

also provide a great space for 

the community to come out and 

play after school, Superintendent 

Pires said. 

Medway Public Schools have 

now opened two brand-new 

playgrounds at the McGovern 

School and Francis Burke-Memorial 

Elementary School. 

Funding for both playgrounds 

was paid for in part by generous 

donations from the Medway Elementary 

Parent Teacher Organization 

(MEPTO) and Medway 

Extended Day (MEDI). The rest 

of the funds were approved at 

Town Meeting in May. 

The playgrounds were designed 

and built by Medwaybased 

outdoor equipment 

supplier M.E. O’Brien and Sons, 

Inc. Construction on both playgrounds 

began over the summer 

and was completed on the week 

of Aug. 26, before the start of the 

new school year. 

Both playgrounds are compliant 

with the Americans With 

Disabilities Act (ADA) and will be 

used by about 500 students at the 

Burke-Memorial School and 350 

students at the McGovern School 

each day. 

“The previous playgrounds 

were both over 15 years old and 

this is a project that has been in 

the works for the past few years,” 

Superintendent Pires said. “The 

new equipment is age-appropriate 

for our elementary school 

students and allows for a more 

spread out feel with several different 

elements for the kids to play 

and interact with.”

Kane’s Versatility Key Asset for Millis Football Squad 

By KEN HAMWEY, 

Staff Sports Writer 

Pictures sometimes accompany 

words in a dictionary to 

emphasize definitions. When 

it comes to defining versatility, 

it wouldn’t be surprising to see 

Bryan Kane’s photo next to the 

word. 

The 6-foot-1, 170-pound 

Kane plays football for Millis 

High and the junior captain personifies 

versatility. He can play 

linebacker or safety on defense, 

and on offense he can be used as 

a running back, wide receiver or 

quarterback. 

“Versatility is an asset,’’ he 

said. “I don’t mind playing any 

of the five positions. It presents a 

lot of different opportunities and 

it helps to better understand the 

game. Sacrificing for the welfare 

of the team is important.’’ 

Head coach Brian Kraby is 

counting on Kane to contribute 

in a variety of ways to help the 

Mohawks improve on last year’s 

4-6 record that prevented them 

from qualifying for a playoff 

berth. Now in his second year as 

Millis’ head coach, Kraby is delighted 

Kane has overcome an 

elbow injury and very pleased 

Kane was selected by his teammates 

to be a captain. 

“Bryan should be able to take 

advantage of having a solid offensive 

line,’’ Kraby said. “He’ll 

be effective running the ball because 

he’s a grinder. He’ll gain 

four or five yards and if he gets 

to the outside, he can break it 

for long runs. On defense, he’s 

tough as nails, and we expect 

him to make lots of tackles.’’

Steve Bullock 

Bryan Kane is only a junior, but he’s a captain whose versatility, mature 

approach, and classy style make him a breed apart. 

Kraby also is bullish on 

Kane as a captain. “We’re a 

young team and Bryan will be 

extremely important in establishing 

our chemistry,’’ Kraby 

added. “He’ll help keep the 

players positive and optimistic.’’ 

Kane, who also has experience 

as a varsity basketball and 

baseball player, says football is 

his favorite sport, and he wants 

play it in college. The odds are 

high that college ball is in his future, 

especially after attending a 

summer camp in Ohio in June. 

I went to a USA Football regional 

camp at Bryant University,’’ 

Kane noted. “I started as a 

receiver, but finished up at safety. 

When it ended, I was selected to 

attend the national USA camp 

in Ohio. I was one of 260 to be 

chosen, truly an honor. The four 

days were so valuable. It was intense 

and the instruction was 

great. I learned a lot at safety, 

and I’ve shared that knowledge 

with teammates.’’ 

Besides his versatile nature, 

Kane has other assets. “Bryan 

has a high football IQ, he’s passionate 

about football, he’s athletic 

and coachable, and he’s got 

size and strength,’’ Kraby said. 

Those plusses were on display 

in the Mohawks first two games 

— a victory over Randolph 

and a loss to Shawsheen Tech. 

After the two games, Kane had 

178 yards rushing and 63 yards 

receiving. He recorded 17 tackles 

and 2 interceptions playing 

safety. 

“My team goals for the season 

are to get to the playoffs, 

beat Medway and defeat Dover- 

Sherborn,’’ Kane emphasized. 

“We’ve got the talent and the 

dedication to qualify for the 

tourney. I’d like to defeat Medway, 

our top rival, and Dover- 

Sherborn games are always 

intense and fun. I also want to 

promote team chemistry. Personally, 

if I continue at running 

back, I’d like to gain 1,000 yards 

and be selected as a Tri Valley 

League all-star.’’ 

A native of Millis, Kane has 

been hampered by torn ligaments 

in his elbow for the last two 

years. He was injured as a freshman 

catcher in baseball trying to 

throw out a runner stealing. 

“I heard a pop,’’ Kane recalled. 

“I didn’t have surgery but 

I spent five months in rehab. I 

missed half of the baseball season 

as a freshman and missed 

two games in football as a sophomore. 

I skipped baseball last 

spring to make sure I’d be fully 

healthy as a junior.’’ 

Not only is Kane healthy, but 

he’s also a captain who’s eager 

to be a leader. “It’s a big honor 

to be a captain as a junior,’’ he 

said. “I’ll lead by example, by 

being vocal, and I’ll also be supportive.’’ 

Kane is quick to laud three 

teammates he expects to be 

major contributors this season. 

Two are captains — junior Tally 

Smith and senior Johnny Pateuk 

— and junior Ernesto Olivieri. 

Smith is a linebacker and defensive 

end, Pateuk plays linebacker, 

tackle and fullback and 

Olivieri plays tackle and nose 

guard. 

“Tally is a junior who’s a 

quality leader,’’ Kane said. 

“He’s respected, and he plays 

aggressively. Johnny is also respected, 

and he’s a hard hitter. 

Ernesto is energetic, aggressive 

and pursues very well.’’ 

Kane also appreciates Kraby, 

admiring his coach on three 

fronts. “Coach Kraby treats us 

like a family,’’ Kane stressed. 

“He knows the game, and he’s a 

strong motivator.’’ 

Kane’s style on both sides 

of the ball is easy to classify — 

he’s aggressive, likes to hit and 

he thrives on pursuit. A starter 

in eight games last year, he had 

45 tackles, 6 tackles for losses, 2 

fumble recoveries and 2 interceptions. 

“My two best games were 

against Dover-Sherborn as a 

freshman and against Hull last 

year,’’ he said. “Both were victories. 

My first start was as a 

freshman against D-S and I had 

10 tackles and forced a fumble. 

Against Hull, I had 10 tackles, 2 

sacks, 1 fumble recovery and 1 

forced fumble.’’ 

An honor-roll student, Kane 

plans on majoring in business 

administration in college. He’s 

not sure yet what school he’ll attend, 

but he wants to continue 

playing football, a sport that has 

sharpened his athletic philosophy 

and helped him learn valuable 

life lessons. 

“My competitive philosophy 

is to win, to reach my potential 

and to enjoy sports,’’ he emphasized. 

“Some of the life lessons 

I’ve learned are how to overcome 

adversity and obstacles, 

how to deal with losing, and how 

to become a strong leader.’’

Mia Ferzoco Moves Up as Mentor in Millis Volleyball 

By Christopher Tremblay, 

Staff Sports Writer 

Growing up Millis’ Mia Ferzoco 

had been involved in gymnastics 

since the early age of 

three, but by the seventh grade, 

she would find a new sport, and 

gymnastics would soon become 

a thing of the past. Thanks to her 

friend, Hailey Chilsolm, Ferzoco 

would be introduced to volleyball. 

“Gymnastics was an individual 

sport, where volleyball is all 

about the team atmosphere,” the 

Millis senior said. “After finding 

volleyball, I decided to stop 

gymnastics in ninth grade as it 

was very time consuming and my 

school work was getting harder.” 

Soon after she found volleyball, 

Ferzoco joined the Blast, a 

club team out of Lincoln, Rhode 

Island. Taking part with the Blast 

as well as playing on the high 

school team helped the newly 

found volleyball player improve 

her skills. 

During her freshman and 

sophomore seasons, Ferzoco 

saw the majority of her playing 

time with the junior varsity team 

with a handful of games coming 

here and there on the varsity 

level. By her junior year, she 

was starting for the Mohawks 

as the team’s setter in addition 

to being named a captain for the 

first time. Being named a captain 

was something totally new 

and very strange to her. 

“Being named captain my junior 

year was a great honor, but 

it was something that was totally 

out of my comfort zone, and I had 

to become a leader to the rest of 

the team,” the now two-time senior 

captain said. “It was very 

nerve racking at first, but I eventually 

felt comfortable with the 

girls on the hand, especially when 

they were helping me through it.” 

Ferzoco, who had already played 

four seasons with the Mohawk 

volleyball program, had seen how 

the upper classmen were enjoying 

the sport and that was something 

that she wanted to do as well. The 

now senior setter originally found 

her position to be somewhat challenging. 

“Again, being a setter for the 

team took me out of my comfort 

zone as I had to be one of the 

loudest players on the court and 

pushing the other girls,” she said. 

Mia Ferzoco has had a chance to 

grow as an athlete and as a leader 

in her time with Millis Volleyball. 

“While it was not easy at first, 

I believe it was for the best as I 

am now a totally different person 

when I step onto the court.” 

Although Ferzoco didn’t see 

herself as a team leader, her coach 

certainly did. 

“What can I say about a kid 

who just gets it, she is a born 

leader but that doesn’t stop her 

from pushing to learn and achieve 

more,” Millis Volleyball Coach 

Lisa Farese said. “She works each 

moment of each day to better not 

only herself, but those around her 

as well. She may not be the oldest 

or most experienced athlete in 

the gym, but she bridged the gap 

between all of our teams.” 

Now as a senior, Ferzoco has 

to remember what it was like 

when she was an underclassmen 

and wants to use that to her advantage 

in preparing the younger 

girls on this year’s team. 

“I need to stay loud and positive, 

even if I’m not playing at my 

best,” she said. “It can be tough at 

times, but I have to remember that 

the younger girls look up to me so 

I need to stay positive and keep 

the energy high.” 

Once she steps onto the court, 

Ferzoco may seem to be all in and 

serious, but at times she wipes the 

seriousness away and is all smiles. 

“I often find myself thinking 

how do I coach the philosophy of 

working hard, while being willing 

to take risks. We are always 

looking for progression and not 

perfection,” the Mohawk Coach 

said. “But then because of Mia I 

am reminded that we just need to 

have fun. She puts in the work on 

and off the court, but makes sure 

she opens her arms to silliness and 

that makes our team a family.” 

Last fall Millis finished the regular 

season with a 10-10 record 

and found themselves playing in 

the Division 3 Central Volleyball 

Tournament. The Mohawks were 

able to defeat Bellingham 3-0 in 

the round, but unfortunately meet 

up with Whitinsville-Christian, 

the eventual Sectional Champions, 

in the next round. 

With the volleyball team advancing 

into the post-season Ferzoco 

was not only excited about 

the opportunity that the team had 

but with her own play. 

“I felt that I had played really 

well last year,” she said. “But 

being the setter my success is because 

of those around you, you 

need the whole team to do well.” 

As the season gets underway 

the senior setter knows that it’s 

not going to be an easy campaign 

this fall. 

“We’re in a rebuilding year, 

and I don’t want the younger girls 

to get discouraged,” she said. “I 

want the younger girls to learn, 

but also keep volleyball fun.” 

Despite being her only varsity 

returner this season the Coach is 

anxious to get things started and 

see what her setter brings to the 

table this year. 

“I am super excited to see what 

she can do with our team,” Farese 

said. “Now that she is not only 

the oldest, but most experienced 

player on the court.” 

In addition to keeping volleyball 

fun, Ferzoco is hoping to play 

a competitive game while also enjoying 

her senior year. Once the 

season ends, the senior would 

like to continue playing the sport 

on the collegiate level, but most 

likely on a club level.

Comparing Ultra-Safe Investment Options 

With savings account rates at 

historic lows, many retirees and 

other savers are uncertain where 

to go to stretch their dollars, 

while keeping their assets as safe 

as possible. 

Options include certificates of 

deposit (CDs), money market accounts, 

U.S. Treasury securities 

and fixed-deferred annuities. 

How do they compare? Here’s 

an overview: 

Certificates of deposits (CDs): 

Issued primarily by banks, a certificate 

of deposit (CD) is a savings 

vehicle with a fixed maturity 

date and a fixed interest rate that 

is insured by the Federal Deposit 

Insurance Corporation (FDIC) 

for up to $250,000 per CD 

holder. CDs are typically used 

for short- to medium-term savings 

needs. They typically offer 

a higher investment return than 

traditional savings accounts, but 

lower rates of return than fixeddeferred 

annuities.1

Route 16, Mendon • 508-473-5079 

www.nesteakandseafood.com 

Money market accounts: A 

money market account usually 

combines the flexibility of a traditional 

savings account with a 

higher interest rate and the ability 

to write a limited number of 

checks. Money market accounts 

seek to maintain a stable $1 unit 

value and because of their stability 

are often used as “parking 

places” for liquid assets. These 

accounts also are backed by the 

FDIC, and typically require a 

larger minimum balance than a 

savings account.2 

Treasury securities: Treasury 

securities are essentially loans 

to the federal government, and 

come in three forms. T-Bills offer 

the shortest terms—four, 13, 26, 

and 52 weeks. T-Notes occupy 

the middle, maturing in two, 

three, five, seven, or 10 years, 

while T-Bonds, known as “long 

bonds,” offer a 30-year maturity 

date and will pay interest on a 

semiannual basis. Treasury securities 

rank among the safest 

investments, because they have 

the backing of the “full faith and 

credit” of the U.S. government 

as to the timely payment of interest 

and principal. However, 

they are subject to inflation and 

their values fluctuate in response 

to changes in interest rates.3 

Fixed-deferred annuities: A 

fixed-deferred annuity offers 

some of the benefits of a CD, 

including the ability to generate 

interest safely, while also giving 

the holder the ability to delay 

the payment of income taxes 

on money earned on the annuity. 

Their aim is to return your 

principal investment to you with 

interest. 

Fixed-deferred annuities are 

typically used for long-term funding 

needs related to retirement. 

However, access to the funds in 

an annuity is limited, and fixeddeferred 

annuities involve insurance- 

related fees and charges. 

They are issued by insurance 

companies and are not backed 

by the FDIC. Therefore, the financial 

stability of the issuing insurance 

company is key. You can 

evaluate the financial strength of 

an insurance company by checking 

its ratings by independent 

sources, which include Moody’s, 

A.M. Best, Standard & Poor’s, 

and Fitch.4

A Night to Fight Breast Cancer Planned for October 4 th 

Vendor Fair Planned at Medway V.F.W. 


She hasn’t been affected personally, 

but Bonnie Bradford, 

who’s been involved in fairs as 

an independent consultant for a 

while, decided to organize one to 

benefit the National Breast Cancer 

Foundation (NBCF), anyway. 

“I’ve been fortunate I have not 

been affected, nor have my immediate 

family and friend, but why 

wait for something to get close to 

home before I do something about 

it? Why not do something about it 

now?” says Bradford, who’s lived 

in Medway for 22 years and is a 

member BNI, Business Networking 

International in Franklin. 

This is the second year she’s organized 

“A Night to Fight Breast 

Cancer,” a vendor fair to take place 

on Friday, October 4 th from 7-11 

p.m. at the Medway VFW Post 

Gothic Tales Program to Be Held at the Millis Public Library 

1526, 123 Holliston St., Medway. 

In addition to a number of 

unique vendors, the fair will feature 

donated raffle prizes and 

BINGO! The night will include 

a cash bar, but children are welcome 

as long as they’re accompanied 

by a parent or guardian. In 

addition, one of the vendors will 

offer a la carte food at her table,

Medway Police 

Department Promotes 

Derek Harrington to 

Sergeant 

On Wednesday, August 28, 

2019, Patrol Officer Derek 

Harrington was promoted to 

Sergeant in a ceremony at the 

Medway Police Department. 

Family, friends and colleagues 

gathered to watch Selectmen and 

Town Clerk, Mary Jane White 

swear in Sergeant Harrington, 

which included a very special 

moment when retired officer 

and mentor, David McRoberts 

pinned the badge on Sergeant 

Harrington. Chief Allen Tingley 

and Town Administrator, 

Michael Boynton both shared a 

few words during the ceremony 

about Sergeant Harrington’s 

commitment and dedication not 

only to the police department 

but to the community itself. 

“It is very fitting that Sergeant 

Harrington is being pinned today 

by his mentor, Officer McRoberts. 

We 

are certainly 

getting 

a very 

solid mentor 

t o 

our newer officers in Sergeant 

Harrington,” said Town Administrator, 

Michael Boynton. 

Sergeant Harrington’s career 

started in 1997 as a dispatcher 

for the Medway Police 

Department. He moved up the 

ladder to patrol officer in 2002 

and has served as a police investigator 

for the last year and a 

half. In addition to his commitment 

to the Medway Police Department 

he is also a dedicated 

member of the Medway community, 

currently serving in the 

role as the Men’s High School 

Varsity Hockey Coach. Derek 

and his wife, Courtney, have four 

children.
