Twenty Years of Helping

Families

Medway House

Family Shelter

to Acknowledge

its Twentieth

Anniversary

By Jane Lebak

March 31st, 2020 maarks

twenty years since the Medway

House Family Shelter opened

its doors to assist the homeless

families of Massachusetts.

Heidi Sia, Program Director,

has worked with the family shelter

since the day it opened. She

is proud of its work and appreciative

of how the greater Medway

community has helped the

families they serve. “I want to

thank all the communities in the

area for supporting us because

they’ve been so generous.”

The Medway House is part

The Voice of Your Community

of the South Middlesex Opportunity

Council (SMOC) which is

a nonprofit that funds programs

all over the state. (Medway is

part of Norfolk County.)

“The community is a critical

part of the success of families

here,” says Sia, “whether they

bring donations or volunteer.

Our families feel very supported

by the local communities and

how generous everyone is.”

Many groups have reached

out to help the shelter over the

past two decades, from generous

individuals to groups like

Millis Lions Celebrate

75 Years as a Club

By J.D. O’Gara

The party might have been

postponed, but the birthday still

took place. This year, the Millis

Lions Club, along with neighboring

Medfield Lions and Franklin

Lions, turned 75 years old. (You

might have noticed that big banner

across Main Street.)

“Medfield sponsored us,” says

immediate past District Governor

for District 33K Massachusetts

Lions and Millis Lion Debbie

Hayes, who now sits on the District

33K board of directors. “In

December of 1944, Medfield

became a club, and in February

of 1945, we became a club,” she

explains. All three clubs were

scheduled in late March to get

together for a big birthday celebration

at the German Club in

Walpole, but due to Coronavirus

social distancing measures, the

event has been postponed.

Still, to celebrate, the Millis

Lions Club is giving a gift to the

town.

“In 1984, the year preceding

the centennial for Millis, the

Millis Lions purchased the town

message board, in front of Town

Hall, and gave it as a gift to the

Town. In celebration of our 75th

anniversary, we’re changing it to

a digital electronic board,” says

Hayes.

“It’s one of the best things I’ve

ever done, in terms of volunteering,”

says Hayes, of being a Lion.

“For me personally, I love being

able to give back to the community.

It’s not a drinking club.

It’s not a social club. We come

together to improve the health

and welfare of our community,

and no one expects anything in

return.” Memorable events for

Hayes include helping a local

boy going through chemotherapy

with simple activity bags that

gave him something to do during

treatments, the Millis Lions

Scouting, local churches, and

businesses who provide support.

The Town of Medway itself has

worked hard for the success of

the Medway House. Sia says,

“The Selectmen, the Fire and

Police Departments, the school

system, and the local food pantry

too—they’ve been really responsive

to the needs of the families

and wonderful to work with.”

In the current climate, the

need is very great. “We can serve

twelve families at a time,” Sia

says, “and we average between

eighteen and thirty families in a

year.”

When DHCD refers a family,

the family is greeted by a case

manager who assesses the family’s

needs and helps them develop

a plan to meet those needs.

“Each family has its own bedroom,”

Sia explains, “but they

share a kitchen, dining room,

play area, and bathrooms.” The

Medway House has an outdoor

playground as well, a result of

support from the community.

The Medway House does everything

possible to foster independence.

Sia says, “We’re small

enough that families can do their

own food shopping and their

own cooking. Their day to day is

like any family wants their day to

be, but there’s a lot of negotiating

when you’re in a home with this

many people.”

The Medway House connects

their clients with any local

resources that can help, whether

it’s job search support, help writing

resumes, daycare assistance,

or even just transportation to

multiple appointments.

Moreover, the Medway House

offers educational opportunities.

“We get experts from the outside

to come in,” Sia says. They’ve offered

seminars on personal goal

setting, how to look for an apartment

and how to understand a

lease, financial management, how

to locate community resources,

how to choose a daycare provider,

conflict resolution, nutrition, and

disaster preparedness.

“It’s all about empowerment

and supporting people,” Sia says.

“The information we’re sharing

will help them in their new community.”

Plans to acknowledge the anniversary

include a party later in

the year when they can hold it

safely outdoors, and also a cake

for the residents and employees

on the actual anniversary date.

Sia says, “Medway has been a

good community for our families

to be a part of. We are also seen

as a resource to the community.”

Sia expresses both happiness

and sadness that the Medway

House Family Shelter is still active

and necessary 20 years after

its doors opened. “The fact that

this safety net is here and remains

a priority in the commonwealth

is fantastic. Our agency is a

strong, vital agency that provides

such a wide variety of services for

the families, and that has helped

us to stay a very highly functioning

program for 20 years. But it’s

sad to me that the great need is

still there, in 2020. As a society,

we haven’t solved this problem at

all.”

Due to COVID-19 concerns,

volunteering is suspended at the

Medway House for the time

being, but they still rely on community

support. The shelter will

be holding a fundraiser, “Twenty

in Twenty-Twenty,” where they

will ask every donor to contribute

$20 toward a new van to

transport residents to appointments,

shopping trips, and job

interviews. To help the shelter

during this special anniversary

year, please contact Heidi Sia at

Millis Beautification Day

Cancelled

Residents Urged to Pick Up Trash

during Walks, around Homes

Because of Coronavirus, there will be NO Millis

spending time social distancing at home, it’s a great

opportunity to grab a trash bag and gloves and

clean up around your area.

Now more than ever our local business community is in dire need of support amid the outbreak of COVID-19. While officials

call for social distancing and suggest the commuinty remain close to home, small business are feeling the strain from a

drop in daily traffic. How can we help? What part can we play to insure they come out of this crisis unscathed?

Millis Public Library Adapts to the Need for Virtual

Programming

The Millis Public Library, in

the midst of Covid-19 closures

and social distancing, is making

an effort to engage the public

through online means. In March,

“Miss Rachel” began an online

storytime, to the delight of a surprisingly

large audience.

“It’s kind of a constantly

evolving situation, as we get new

recommendations from the town

and the state and the federal government,”

says Millis Library Director

Kim Tolson. “We’re trying

our best to provide the services

we can to the community while

also keeping staff and patrons

safe.”

Per Millis Select Board, the

library building is completely

closed to the public now, although

staff is still answering

emails and phone calls. Curbside

delivery was offered at the onset,

but has since been halted in an

effort to contain the virus. The

library is also not accepting any

returns at this time.

“We set all of the due dates to

May first,” says Tolson. “We’re

just asking people to hold onto

everything for the time being

just to kind of eliminate multiple

people handling the same items.”

Youth Services Librarian Rachel

Silverman will be holding

storytime online through a live

Facebook stream every Tuesday

and Friday, at 10:30 a.m.

“We had a great response,”

says Tolson, remarking on the

first day. The March 17th storytime

has enjoyed 1.3K views since

it first streamed. “By the time she

had finished recording the video,

there had been 200 that tuned

in,” says Tolson. That’s a big rise

from maybe 80 people on a good

day, says Tolson. “That was the

first virtual program we tried. We

are planning on putting together

some more virtual programs for

different age groups.” One idea

included an online book club.

“I think that the library is

doing a great job being inventive

and flexible and nimble coming

up with ideas to keep patrons engaged

and meeting their need,”

says Millis Library Trustee Jennifer

White-Farrar, who says she

is incredibly proud of Rachel

Silverman. “We have figured out

she is a local celebrity with this

toddler group,” she says. She’s

not a performer, and she’s just

putting it out there. She really

embraced it, and it was really

giving of herself.”

Library patrons can also visit

the e-Library at millislibrary.

org/e-resources to see downloadable

collections, news articles,

and educational resources accessible

from home. Library WiFi is

also accessible from the parking

lot behind the building and in the

courtyard. If you If you have a

device and need WiFi access, you

may sit in your vehicle or in outdoor

areas.

At Local Town Pages deadline,

staff were available at (508) 376-

our normal operating hours

to to answer questions, help you

to access our extensive e-Library,

Millis Youth Services Librarian held the library’s first virtual storytime

on March 17th, which, at press time, had gotten over 1.3K views. The

ArtWeek Medway

–Stay Tuned!

As of Local Town Pages deadline, Medway ArtWeek was

scheduled, along with statewide ArtWeek, for May 2-9,

2020. As for whether the event was still to take place, Carla

Cataldo, Chair of the Medway Cultural Council, said, “The

truth is we don’t know yet … If we cannot hold it in the first

week of May, we will probably postpone to a later date, so

people should keep checking the website for updates.”

You can find the Medway Cultural Council on Facebook

and at https://www.townofmedway.org/cultural-council.

We need to step back and take a breath. We have all been affected by the Coronavirus

in one form or another. Although our number one concern is the health of our family

and neighbors, many people are also concerned how economically healthy the

community will remain. Business owners, especially small ones, are concerned about

their families, employees, customers, and finally, themselves, in about that order. When

we can return to some kind of normalcy, we will still need to pick up the pieces. The

convenience of the big box stores and online ordering is tempting, but we need to

remember to support the businesses that support our community.

Think about your neighbors first. These local businesses sponsor the town little

leagues, the community fundraisers, that spaghetti dinner. They are going to need

us now more than ever. These businesses are invested in our community. They hire

locally, offer better customer service, and they can bring in visitors from surrounding

towns. Lastly, many of our struggling restaurants are still open and offering takeout

and delivery services. Together we can keep each other safe and thriving throughout

this unusual event.

There is no one STRONGER than New Englanders after all.

A Message from Millis Public Schools

As of 3/17/20

Dear Millis Families,

Let me begin by thanking

you for your patience and support

during these unusual times.

While our schools are empty, we

are continuing to work to identify

opportunities and strategies to

minimize the significant impact

on learning that the COVID-19

pandemic will have on our students

and families.

As you may have seen on the

news, Governor Baker has issued

updated orders based on the status

of COVID 19 (Coronavirus)

cases in the Commonwealth. Effective,

Tuesday, March 17, 2020:

• There will be a ban on large

gatherings over 25 people.

(the President has suggested

a max. of 10)

• All Massachusetts schools

will close for 3 weeks and

can re-open on April 6th at

present.

Support of Continued

Learning and Wellness

It is a well-known fact that all

of us benefit from consistency

and predictability in our day to

day lives. The current challenge

has the potential to place all of

these necessities in jeopardy. We

hope that families will take a few

minutes to talk together about

consistency, predictable schedules,

and connection.

The next three weeks home

will be far less challenging for

‘work from home parents/guardians’

and on the health of our

family units in general if we can

maintain consistency, predictable

schedules, and connection.

Beginning on Monday, March

23, our faculty and staff will

provide additional alternative

enrichment learning opportunities

for our students. These will

be developed collaboratively and

communicated to students directly

by educators across all of

our content areas. These learning

experiences are not intended

to replicate the regular school

day but rather are an opportunity

to provide continuity of

learning and connectedness for

our students.

Support of Our Families

Our Food Service Department

will work to ensure that our

families are supported with meals

2-1-1 phone service. The Massachusetts Department of Public Health (DPH) announced

that Massachusetts 2-1-1 will now provide real-time COVID-19 information,

resources, and referrals in multiple languages. Callers dialing 2-1-1 will hear an automated

menu of options. Callers press 2-6 for coronavirus. Residents can also reach 2-1-1

through a live chat option on the website which you can visit by clicking here Mass 2-1-1

The Medway Public Schools is providing Medway families with meals during the ongoing school closures

relating to COVID-19. (Photo Courtesy Medway Public Schools)

Through a partnership with

the Medway Village Church

Food Pantry, the Medway Public

Schools is ensuring that Medway

families are supported with

meals during the ongoing school

closures relating to COVID-19.

In order to ensure that students’

nutritional needs continue

to be satisfied during Medway

Public Schools' closure, the District

is offering families the opportunity

to have continued

access to school meals.

Medway families have been

given the option to receive “grab

and go” breakfast and lunch options

on a daily basis. Pick up is

at the Medway Middle School

main entrance from 7 to 9 a.m.

Monday, Wednesday and Friday

(families will receive two days

worth of food). Meals include an

entree, side of fruit and/or vegetable,

and milk.

Alternatively, families may

pick up a week’s worth of food

at the Medway Village Church

Food Pantry on Saturday mornings

from 9 to 10 a.m. or by

scheduling an appointment time

with the Food Pantry Director.

Food offerings will include “family

size” portions of meal ingredients

and kid-friendly single-serve

meals.

Medway families may participate

in both of the food pick-up

options in order to access daily

prepared meals and larger sized

ingredients each week.

Food pick-up options began

Wednesday, March 18, and will

run each weekday that the Medway

Public Schools is not in session.

Contact Director of Wellness

Ryan Sherman at rsherman@

medwayschools.org or (508) 321-

4714 with questions.

Unfortunately, at this time the

Medway Schools and Village

Church Food Pantry cannot accept

the help of volunteers, however,

donations are welcome

For anyone who would like to

assist the food pantry in offsetting

the cost of providing additional

food during this time, monetary

donations may be made to the

Medway Village Church Food

Pantry, 170 Village St., Medway,

MA 02053.

One hundred percent of

donations will go toward purchasing

Surprising Ties between Coronavirus and

the Eyes

by

Pearls

By Roger M. Kaldawy, M.D.,

Milford Franklin Eye Center

Experts say guarding your

eyes — as well as your hands and

mouth — can slow the spread of

coronavirus. Here’s why the eyes

are so important in the coronavirus

disease 2020 (COVID-19)

outbreak, and five ways you can

help.

Coronavirus can spread

through the eyes

Coronavirus causes mild to

severe respiratory illness. Symptoms

such as fever, cough and

shortness of breath can show

up 2 to 14 days after a person is

exposed. People with severe infections

can develop pneumonia

and die from complications of

the illness.

Limiting eye exposure can

help. Here’s why:

When a sick person coughs

or talks, virus particles can spray

from their mouth or nose into

another person’s face. You’re

most likely to inhale these droplets

through your mouth or nose,

but they can also enter through

your eyes.

People who have coronavirus

can also spread the illness

through their tears. Touching

tears or a surface where tears

have landed can be another portal

to infection.

You can also become infected

by touching something that has

the virus on it — like a table or

doorknob — and then touching

your eyes.

Coronavirus may cause pink

eye — but it’s rare

If you see someone with

pink eye, don’t panic. It doesn’t

mean that person is infected with

coronavirus. But health officials

believe viral pink eye, or conjunctivitis,

develops in about 1% to

3% of people with coronavirus.

The virus can spread by touching

discharge from an infected

person’s eyes.

Five ways to help yourself

and others:

It’s important to remember

that although there is a lot

of concern about coronavirus,

common sense precautions can

significantly reduce your risk of

getting infected. So, wash your

hands a lot, follow good contact

lens hygiene and avoid touching

or rubbing your nose, mouth and

especially your eyes.

1. If you wear contact

lenses, switch to glasses for a

while.

Contact lens wearers touch

their eyes more than the average

person. Consider wearing glasses

more often, especially if you tend

to touch your eyes a lot when

your contacts are in. Substituting

glasses for lenses can decrease irritation

and force you to pause

before touching your eye. If you

continue wearing contact lenses,

follow strict hygiene tips to limit

your chances of infection.

2. Wearing glasses may add

a layer of protection.

Corrective lenses or sunglasses

can shield your eyes from

infected respiratory droplets. But

they don’t provide 100% security.

The virus can still reach your

eyes from the exposed sides, tops

and bottoms of your glasses. If

you’re caring for a sick patient

or potentially exposed person,

safety goggles may offer a stronger

defense.

3. Don’t skip your eye

exam, but take precautions.

If you’re due for an eye exam,

you may be nervous about going

to the doctor’s office. Ophthalmologists

sit face-to-face with

many patients daily. During

a slit-lamp exam, the doctor’s

face will be just a few inches away

from yours. But rest assured that

ophthalmologists, like all medical

professionals, follow strict hygiene

and disinfection guidelines.

You might notice some

changes to the regular routine:

• Your eye doctor uses a special

plastic barrier called a slitlamp

breath shield. This helps

block the exchange of breath between

patient and doctor.

• Your ophthalmologist may

also wear a mask with a plastic

shield over their eyes.

Eye doctors recommend the

following precautions:

• If you have a cough or a

fever, it’s essential to call your

doctor’s office ahead of time and

let them know. If your visit is not

an emergency, they may ask you

to stay home.

• If you arrive sick, your doctor

may ask you to wear a protective

covering or mask, and to

wait in a special room so that you

won’t expose other patients.

• Your physician may wait

until after your slit-lamp eye

exam to talk with you or answer

questions.

• If you anticipate a cough or

sneeze during your exam, move

back from the microscope and

cover your face with a tissue.

Wash your hands with soap and

water as soon as you can.

4. Stock up on eye medicine

prescriptions if you can.

Experts advise patients to

stock up on critical medications,

so that you’ll have enough to get

by if you are quarantined or if

supplies become limited dur-

ing an outbreak. But this may

not be possible for everyone. If

your insurance allows you to get

more than 1 month of essential

eye medicine, such as glaucoma

drops, you should do so. Some

insurers will approve a 3-month

supply of medication in times of

natural disaster. Ask your pharmacist

or ophthalmologist for

help if you have trouble getting

approval from your insurance

company. And as always, request

a refill as soon as you’re due.

Don’t wait until the last minute

to contact your pharmacy.

5. Avoid rubbing your eyes.

We all do it. While it can be

hard to break this natural habit,

doing so will lower your risk of

infection. If you feel an urge

to itch or rub your eye or even

to adjust your glasses, use a tissue

instead of your fingers. Dry

eyes can lead to more rubbing,

so consider adding moisturizing

drops to your eye routine. If you

must touch your eyes for any reason

— even to administer eye

medicine — wash your hands

first with soap and water for at

least 20 seconds.

And don’t forget ...

The Centers for Disease Control

and Prevention (CDC) offers

general guidelines for preventing

the spread of coronavirus and

protecting your health:

Wash your hands often with

soap and water for at least 20

seconds.

You should especially wash

your hands before eating, after

using the restroom, sneezing,

coughing or blowing your nose.

If you can’t get to a sink, use

a hand sanitizer that has at least

60% alcohol.

Avoid touching your

face — particularly your eyes,

nose, and mouth.

If you cough or sneeze, cover

your face with your elbow or a

tissue. If you use a tissue, throw

it away promptly. Then go wash

your hands.

Avoid close contact with sick

people. If you think someone has

a respiratory infection, it’s safest

to stay 6 feet away.

Stay home when you are sick.

Regularly disinfect commonly

touched surfaces and items in

your house, such as doorknobs

and counter tops.

At Milford-Franklin Eye Center,

we use state-of-the-art technology

to treat a variety of eye

problems and we continue to

support our communities during

this crisis. We sterilize equipment

between patients and screen patients

before they enter the building

and before they register. We

sterilize our waiting room twice

a day. Let us know if you do not

feel well before you come in.

With two offices in Franklin and

Milford and a dedicated surgery

center in Milford, no more need

to travel hours for your eye care

or surgery. We are the area’s leading

eye care practice, with seven

providers and a team of 50 staff,

and we continue to bring you

world-class eye care closer to

home- as always and now during

this health crisis.

Are you ready for spring?

From the Office of Karen Spilka

As of Local Town Pages press time of 3/16/20

As you are undoubtedly aware,

Governor Baker announced a

number of emergency measures

this evening. I have been in touch

with the Governor and the Administration

about a number of

the issues he addressed, and I

would like to thank everyone who

has contacted my office to let me

know the questions and concerns

residents have in their communities.

It has helped my discussions

with state and local leaders immensely.

I am particularly glad to see

that the Governor took strong

action around school closings, social

distancing and telemedicine,

which I have persistently pushed

for this week. The measures we

are taking now are in the best interest

of preserving public health

& our healthcare system. But we

know they will have an impact

on our residents, communities &

businesses. That’s why the Massachusetts

State Senate (https://

www.facebook.com/Mass-

Senate/) is working now to tee

up legislation to help with these

impacts.

The bills and guidance that

Governor Baker outlined March

Spring Event Postponed, Gardening Underway at

Medway Community Farm

In these uncertain times,

which may be with us longer

than we first anticipated, it’s a

time to reflect on what we have

and what’s important to us. I’ve

been asked why Medway Community

Farm is so important to

me - which is hard to answer

with a word or two. The fact

that Medway had the foresight

to purchase land and keep it as

open space for the benefit of all

our residents is what first drew

me to the farm. As a nurse,

I’ve seen firsthand the benefits

of fresh air and fresh food and

I knew it was an organization I

wanted to be involved with. But

there are so many more benefits

than that.

Locally grown food, first

and foremost, provides food

that is healthier. Locally grown

is described as food grown

within 100 miles of you, usually

purchased at farm stores,

farmers’ markets, and through

community supported agricultural

(CSA) programs such as

the one at our farm. The taste

is superb because the vegetables

can be picked when ripe and

supplied fresher. In addition,

the longer food remains in storage,

the more vitamins are lost;

especially the essential vitamins

such as C and B which are so

critical to maintaining a healthy

existence. When food needs to

be transported any distance, it’s

not picked at its optimal ripeness

so it can survive the trip; again,

another loss of nutritive value.

Many studies have shown the

benefits of eating more fruits

and vegetables in your diet with

effects such as reducing heart

disease, decreasing the risk of

cancer, maintaining a healthier

weight, and living longer. What’s

not to like about that?

Divorce isn’t easy.

The traditional, court-based approach often leads to more conflict,

strained parenting, and large legal bills.

You can have a better divorce. A divorce that is healthier for you

and your children. One that encourages problem-solving instead

of fighting. A divorce that doesn’t wipe out your finances with

legal fees, and won’t take years to finish.

The experienced mediators at our firm – all attorneys – help

couples avoid a divorce war through mediation, the collaborative

divorce process, and conciliation. Whether you are starting the

process or unhappy with how your case is going, we invite you to

contact us and consider a fresh perspective.

At the farm, food is grown

using organic practices. That

means no synthetic fertilizers

or chemicals, and we opt for a

no-spray method, dealing with

weeds and pests by tool or hands.

Yes, there are more weeds to contend

with, so the labor is more

intense and deer also seem to

(508) 359-4043

65 Holbrook Street, Suite 270

Norfolk, MA 02056

NextPhaseLegal.com

TheParentingCoordinator.com

love these vegetables, but fewer

chemicals are getting into your

body with every bite you eat! Decreasing

the use of chemicals in

our environment is better for the

land, the water, and all of us.

At Medway Community

Farm, we feel that providing

underserved markets with fresh

vegetables is important. We’ve

been delivering fresh vegetables

to the local food pantry for many

years and this past year, thanks to

generous donations, we’ve been

able to expand donations to all

of the food pantries in town and

the family shelter. We participate

in the SNAP and HIP programs,

which affords us another opportunity

to provide fresh vegetables

to those who truly need them.

Other reasons why I value

the farm is because money stays

within the Medway community.

Our education programs

that reach students of all ages

in both the grade and elementary

schools, our Community

Education efforts, community

outreach efforts, and all the opportunities

to volunteer are

made possible because we reinvest

in our community. This

provides for social connectedness

and a feeling of belonging

from the folks associated with the

farm. Come volunteer - it’s been

shown that gardeners live longer.

https://www.bbc.com/worklife/

article/20181210-gardeningcould-be-the-hobby-that-helpsyou-live-to-100

We’ve started selling our vegetable

shares, starting at the end

of April and running all season

into December. Already I’m

dreaming of fresh spinach, spring

radishes, fresh lettuce followed by

tomatoes, squash, eggplant and

beets. And tatsoi – who can get

enough tatsoi?

The more we can maintain a

healthy lifestyle including eating

fresh fruits and vegetables and

getting outside with nature, the

more resources your body has

to fight against infections and

illnesses when you need them

most. Stay safe, practice social

distancing, and as your mother

always said, eat your vegetables!

answer the requests of cities and towns

in the Commonwealth.

More information on the scope and nature

of the Massachusetts National Guard’s response

support missions will be released as the

situation develops.

From the Medway Village

Food Pantry

Many people have reached out asking

how they might be able to help

families with food insecurity during this

unprecedented time. We are receiving

regular updates from the Greater Boston

larger than usual orders from them as

the weeks progress.

cost of providing additional food, monetary

donations may be made to the

Medway Village Church Food Pantry,

170 Village Street, Medway, MA

02053. 100% of donations go toward

purchasing food, paper goods, and toiletries

for our clients. We have tremendous

buying power through our status

as a member agency of the Greater

Boston Food Bank, and each dollar goes

a long way.

If you would like to donate items to

the food pantry, below is a list of our

greatest needs:

- Cereal and instant oatmeal

- Small jars of mayonnaise (15 oz)-

- Jars of pasta sauce

- Chef Boyardee

- Crackers, cookies, lunch box

snacks

- Toilet paper

- Paper towels

- Tissues

- Liquid soap (hand soap, dish soap)

Donations may be dropped off on

Saturday mornings from 10-11 a.m.

(when we restock the shelves each week).

We appreciate the tremendous

support of our Medway family - we

couldn’t do any of this without you!

MassBay Registered Nursing Program Ranked #1 in

Massachusetts

MassBay Community College

is pleased to announce it has

been ranked as the #1 Registered

Nursing (RN) Program in Massachusetts

for 2020 by Registered-

Nursing.org, a nursing advocacy

organization.

“We are pleased to have been

acknowledged by Registered-

Nursing.org as having the #1

Registered Nursing Program in

Massachusetts,” said MassBay

Director of Nursing, Dr. Jean

Dyer. “Our Associate Degree

in Nursing (ADN) program has

had a 100% pass-rate for our

graduates on the NCLEX-RN

licensure exam over the past

three years, and for the first time

our Licensed Practical Nursing

(LPN) program also earned a

100% first-time pass-rate.”

RegisteredNursing.org assessed

nursing programs on

several factors, all of which represent

how well a program supports

students working towards

licensure and career. They analyze

past and present first time

“pass-rates” of the NCLEX-

RN exam, the required examination

used by all state boards

of nursing across the United

States to help assess a student’s

competency, which is required

for licensure. This is the fourth

annual Registered Nursing Program

ranking and the first time

MassBay has been ranked #1. In

2018, MassBay was ranked ninth

and in 2019, third by Registered-

Nursing.org.

“After carefully analyzing RN

programs throughout the state of

Massachusetts, it became apparent

that MassBay Community

College not only prepares students

for success on the NCLEX-

RN licensure exam, but equips

students with the skills needed to

confidently enter the fast-paced

healthcare industry,” said RegisteredNursing.org

Outreach Coordinator,

Sally Worthington.

As noted on their website,

RegisteredNursing.org mentions

the following about MassBay’s

RN program, “This rigorous

program’s curriculum consists

of classroom lectures, laboratory,

and clinical practicums. The goal

of the Associate Degree Nursing

(ADN) program is to guide

students toward utilizing ethical

values and legal principles in providing

patient care.”

MassBay offers an Associate

Degree in Nursing, as well as

certificate programs in Licensed

Practical Nursing and Certified

Nursing Assistant. Other health

sciences programs at MassBay

include associate degrees and

certificate programs in Radiologic

Technology, Surgical

Technology, Central Processing

Technology, Computed Tomography,

Emergency Medical Technician

(EMT), Medical Coding,

Medical Office Administration

Assistant, Paramedicine, and

Phlebotomy.

Medway Students Receive

Innovation Award in Mass STEM

Hub Intro to Engineering and

Design Challenge

Two Medway High School

students received an Innovation

Award for their submissions to a

MassSTEM Hub challenge.

Sophomore Ian Khoo and

freshman Nora Sullivan worked

together to produce a reverse engineered

Otterbox iPhone 7 case

that was selected as the winner of

the Innovation award in the Intro

to Engineering and Design challenge

(IED).

Khoo and Sullivan's reversed

engineered Otterbox project

was recognized by industry professionals

for their creative approach

to innovatively tackle the

Mass STEM Hub challenge.

In the Intro to Engineering

and Design course, students participated

in the Project Lead the

Way (PLTW) Online Industry

Challenges organized by Mass

STEM Hub for high school students.

The project challenged

students to engage in the process

of investigating and understanding

how a product works and

why it is designed the way it is.

To do so, students were required

to conduct a visual analysis of the

design principles and elements, a

functional and structural analysis

of how the product works and

a structural analysis of how the

product is dismantled and put

together again.

Students' projects were reviewed

by industry professionals

and they received valuable feedback.

A total of 13 teams in Medway's

Introduction to Engineering

Design class completed a

reverse engineered project. Eight

of those teams submitted a project

for consideration in the challenge.

A total of 31 projects were

submitted into the challenge

statewide.

2020 Milestone for MFE:

Over $330,000 in grants awarded

since inception!

Formed during the summer

of 2002, the Medway Foundation

for Education (MFE) is a

non-profit organization charged

with raising capital to fund innovative,

educational projects and

programs throughout Medway’s

public schools.

Using monies generated from

community events, contributions,

and corporate sponsorships,

MFE allocates funds through

a grant process to teacher and

parent-sponsored projects that

dramatically impact the quality

of education that students, and

sometimes parents, receive. The

volunteer MFE Board occasionally

works with other supporting

organization like MSPTO and

Medway THRIVE to bring these

innovative programs to Medway.

In December 2018 for instance,

these three organizations came

together to bring Chris Herren

back to Medway for his program

“Unguarded: A Conversation

with Chris Herren” which was

very well received by both students

and parents who have concerns

about addiction in today’s

society.

2020 marks the year in which

MFE will have funded over

$330,000 in grants since inception.

The Foundation is also on

path to building an endowment

fund so that future generations

of students and teachers can continue

to benefit. MFE raises funds

through this trivia bee event, but

also through several other fundraisers.

Coming up on Saturday

March 21st is the annual Dodging4School

dodge ball tournament

being held at the Middle

School gymnasium. Also on the

horizon is the MFE Kentucky

Derby Gala which is scheduled

for Saturday May 2nd at the

Thayer Homestead (doors open

at 6 p.m.). Registration for these

events is available through a link

on www.MFEducation.org.

Millis Girls Tennis Looking to Finally Get Back to the

Tournament

By Christopher Tremblay,

Staff Sports Writer

It’s been seven years since the

Millis girl’s tennis team advanced

into the State Tournament, but

Mohawk Coach Tom Ingraham

is optimistic that 2020 could be

the year Millis gets back into

post-season play after putting

together a rather successful 2019

campaign.

Last spring, Millis put together

a 6-4 season, and according

to the coach, were just

a couple of sets from making

the long-awaited visit back to the

tournament. In order to accomplish

this goal, Millis is going to

need to have its returners step up

this season after losing both its

number one singles player and

Tri Valley League All Star Kaitlyn

Stallings and its number two

singles player Lily Denman.

Despite losing its top two players

from last year’s successful season,

Coach Tom Ingraham has

the remaining five starters, as well

as a handful of experienced tennis

players, coming back to the

courts this spring. While the official

beginning to the season has

yet to commence at the time of

this writing, Ingraham’s thoughts

of who is going to play where

are just early season projections.

Positions may change depending

on how the challenge matches go

once the team takes to the courts.

After seeing action last year

primarily in the third singles

position, with an occasional afternoon

at second singles, sophomore

Allie Stallings looks to have

her sights set on obtaining Millis’s

number one singles player

this season.

“Playing first singles is brutal,

but she is making a real strong

push for the top spot,” the Millis

coach said. “She has worked

hard during the off-season, and

as a sophomore, she may be our

number one singles player.”

Junior Maddie Donovan, who

began playing doubles last season

and eventually moved up to third

singles near the end of the year

when Denman was hurt, looks to

have second singles in her sight

this year. Ingraham believes the

junior will once again be a clutch

performer for the Mohawks.

Playing doubles with Donovan

last season was Autumn

O’Connell, and this year, she

could quite possibly move up to

singles with her double’s teammate

playing in the third sport.

“Autumn has the potential to

step up this year and play singles

for us,” the Millis Coach said.

“There is definitely a big difference

in going from doubles to

singles; mentally you have to rely

totally on yourself, and there is

much more court to cover. Maddie

and Autumn are both soccer

players, so they can move and

should be able to handle the

courts.”

Ingraham has the confidence

that his two doubles players can

make the jump this season, but

once again, it’s all based on challenge

matches once the team officially

takes to the courts.

On the doubles circuits this

year, its possible that senior captains

Kate Spangenberg and

Grace Magilligan, both elected

unanimously by their teammates,

will be on the same court. According

to the Millis coach, both

girls would like to be on the court

together, but he’s not sure if it

will happen.

“They’re hoping to play doubles

together, but it’s all about the

meshing of the right people,” Ingraham

said. “We need to evaluate

strengths and weaknesses and

do what’s right for the team, not

the individuals.”

Other athletes returning with

some experience from last year’s

team are seniors Mia Coutts,

Emma Rice, Abby Barrett and

Stephanie Hubbell. The coach

has all the confidence in the

world in the four girls, but once

he gets to further see what they

can and can’t do, then he’ll make

his decisions to who will be playing

where and with whom.

Making it into the tournament

may tougher than it seems.

Ingraham believes that the TVL

is one of the better tennis leagues

in the state, especially in the small

April 22 Deadline for Millis Garden

Club Scholarship Applications

Once again, the Millis Garden Club is

pleased to offer a $1,000 scholarship to a student

who is a resident of Millis for at least a

year and either a high school senior or presently

attending a two-or four-year college. To

be eligible, students should have at least a B

average and be pursuing further education in

horticulture, floriculture, landscape design or

architecture, conservation, forestry, agronomy,

city planning, environmental studies, land

management, botany, biology, renewable energy

or allied subjects.

Millis High School students will be able to

access the Millis Garden Club Ken Nichols

Scholarship applications on the scholarship

link on the school website. Students who do

not attend Millis High School will be able to

call the high school guidance office and pick

up the application at the school. All submissions

must be complete and returned to the

school by April 22nd. For any questions,

division playing against Dover-

Sherborn.

“Dover-Sherborn is head

and shoulders the best team in

the TVL, both large and small,”

he said. “Everyone else is pretty

even through the league, so I like

our chances.”

Ingraham stated he’d be a little

disappointed if the Mohawks

didn’t finally advance in to the

state tournament this season

despite losing its top two singles

players. The returning girls are

all hungry and ready to make the

move forward into the tournament

and have even been taking

lessons to improve their games.

While the overall body of the

team looks to improve its game,

one big issue that will get in the

Mohawks’ way is the inability

to practice and play on a home

court. For the third straight year,

Millis will be heading into the

season without having a home

court to play on. Therefore, the

girls will play all their games on

the road away from Millis. It’s a

possibility that the courts will be

ready near the tail end of the season,

but it won’t be known until

then.

Last season, Millis was able

to practice on the Medway

middle school courts, but with

the Medway high school courts

being worked on, they’re forced

to move to the middle school,

leaving Millis without a court to

practice on.

“Having to play all of our

games on the road and practice

outside of our town has been an

inconvenience,” said the coach.

“But with that said, I have got to

give the girls a ton of respect as

no one has complained about the

situation at all.”

While not having the full support

they’d have if they played

in Millis, nor knowing exactly

where each girl will play once the

season gets underway the tennis

team is still planning on taking

to the courts and giving it everything

that they have. Hopefully,

that is enough to finally propel

them into the tournament for the

first time in many years.

Medway Girls Basketball Captures Division 2 Central

Championship

By Christopher Tremblay,

Staff Sports Writer

When the girls’ basketball

season got underway about four

months ago Medway Coach Joe

Iannone and his Mustangs were

still thinking heavily about how

they had last fallen to Groton-

Dunstable 43-35 in the Semi-

Finals of the Division 2 Central

Tournament. Since they had last

taken the court last winter, Medway

said goodbye to four senior

players who had a hand in their

success, and not only was the

coach unsure of the upcoming

season, so was his team.

“I really didn’t know where

things were going to go this coming

year, and the players were all

nervous as to what we were going

to be,” the Mustang Coach said.

“As the season progressed, we

seemed to get better and our

confidence grew, and about midway

through the season, we knew

that this year had chance to be

special.”

Medway Girls’ hoop captured their first championship in a Division 2 game after a strong year of growth.

game after a strong year of growth. Contributed photos.

On opening night, the Mustangs

beat Medfield raising their

expectations of the season. Medway

went on to finish the regular

season 18-2 and earned a

chance to play in the Sectional

Tournament for the third year in

a row. Once in the tournament

Medway dispatched of Hudson

53-36, edged arch rival Medfield

once again 32-31 and then took

out Marlboro 44-37 to take home

the Division 4 Central Championship.

It was Medway’s first

Sectional Title since 1994 when

they were a Division 3 team. This

year’s Championship was their

first ever as a division 2 team.

“Having played Medfield, the

very first game of the season, we

were two very different teams

20 games later,” Iannone said.

“I knew that they’d be waiting

for us, and fortunately, we were

able to beat them by a point. We

dodged a bullet.”

While the Mustangs were able

to grab their first Division 2 Sectional

Championship, the team

didn’t fare well in the State Tournament.

Taconic, the Western

Champion, battled back from

a 13-point half time deficit to

find themselves down by a single

point with only 20 seconds on the

clock. Taconic’s Tamia Patrick

hit a three-pointer, to give the

Braves a 2-point lead with only

seconds left and the eventual win

48-46.

“We had a great first half,

and four minutes into the third

quarter Taconic had gotten

themselves back into the game.

We had a bad third quarter and

didn’t make our foul shots that we

usually do,” the Medway Coach

said. “The girls were bummed

out after the 2-point loss, but they

were a resilient team. When they

look back, they’ll find many more

fond memoires before they get to

that loss. During my 25 years as

a coach, this was my most special

season.”

The success the Mustangs

had this season started with the

leadership of the team’s three

captains who not only held the

team, but the coaches as well

accountable. Leading the team

were seniors Julia Dowling and

Emma D’Entremont as well as

junior Lauren Beach, who was

named to the Tri Valley League

All Star team.

“These girls supplied great

team discipline early on and had

to figure out what type of team

we wanted to be and then get the

rest of the girls to buy into it,”

Iannone said. “I’ve been coaching

her for 11 years now, and this

is the closest team I’ve had.”

Three other critical athletes to

the Mustangs success were senior

Mary Kate Gould and sophomores

Amy Johnston (forward)

and Maggie Regan (center), both

who were named TVL All-Stars.

Gould came off the bench giving

Iannone someone wo knew what

she had to do; she was a leader

as the team’s sixth man. She will

continue her basketball career

next year playing for Wentworth

Institute of Technology.

As for the sophomores, Iannone

had no idea that after only

one year they’d step up the way

they did and so fast.

“Both girls are tremendous

defensive players,” he said. “Amy

locks up the opposition’s star

player, and Maggie is waiting in

the paint, if they happen to get

by Amy. She is great at altering

and blocking shots.”

According to the Coach, the

team definitely could not have

had the type of year they put up

if it weren’t for Beach, the TVL

Small Division MVP. Beach not

only lead the team in scoring

during the regular season with 14

points per game, but also in the

tournament; she was a versatile

player that rebound well.

Looking to next season, Iannone

has yet to be able to sit

down with the team due to all the

things happening in the world,

but is very optimistic about the

team’s chances with all three of

their major contributors back. In

addition, there are others totally

capable of playing minutes come

next season. The Coach does believe

that the team coming back

next year can mirror what the

squad did this season and then

some.

Pitching Will Be the Key for Medway Nine’s Tourney Hopes

By KEN HAMWEY, Staff

Sports Writer

It’s a good bet that no one in

Medway would complain if the

high school’s baseball team duplicated

last year’s results in the

Division 3 South Sectional Tournament.

The Mustangs rolled to the

school’s first Sectional baseball

crown by defeating Tri County,

Diman and Dedham before

eliminating Ashland in the final.

Coach Mike Coppinger’s forces

continued building on their momentum

by downing Bishop

Fenwick in the State semifinal

game before bowing in the final

to Taconic Regional of Pittsfield.

As Coppinger gets his squad

ready for its opener in Norton

(April 7), the new season will be

different than the historic 2019

campaign. Very different.

Ten seniors have graduated,

and three of them were the heart

and soul of the Mustangs’ pitching

rotation. “We’ll be a team that

will compete for the Tri Valley

League Small Division title, we’ll

strive to qualify for the tourney

and hopefully go deep again,’’

Coppinger said. “But, our pitching

will be a work in progress

because we’ll have to overcome

inexperience.’’

Losing Eli Joyce-Vorce, Justin

Pratt and Sam DiPillo is huge.

Joyce-Vorce, who was a Boston

Globe All-Scholastic, had a 9-3

record and an E.R.A. of 0.79.

Pratt was 5-1, his E.R.A. was 1.65

and his batting average was .357.

DiPillo pitched (3.23 E.R.A.) and

played the outfield.

Medway’s opponents would

be foolish to lower the degree of

difficulty when they face the Mustangs.

There’s still plenty of assets

and a balanced approach to deal

with.

“We’ll be strong defensively,

we can steal bases and play small

ball,’’ Coppinger noted. “We also

can hit for power and we’ve got

speed and quickness. Although

we’ve lost a lot of seniors, we’ve

got experience, a high baseball

IQ, and skilled players.’’

Medway’s senior captains —

Nick Sheehan and Matt Peterson

— are top quality players.

Sheehan plays shortstop and hit

.440 last year while Peterson, who

hit .423 last year, plays first base.

Coach Coppinger, Medway

baseball coach, confers with a

player. Contributed photo.

Sheehan has committed to play

for Southern New Hampshire

University and Peterson will play

for Assumption.

Nick competes hard, has excellent

range and has gap-to-gap

power,’’ Coppinger said. “He

makes routine plays easily and

can turn a difficult play into an

out. A terrific athlete, Nick was

the Defensive Player of the Year

in the TVL last year. Matt hits for

power, getting three homers and

knocking in 30 runs to lead the

team. He’s an excellent clutch hitter

and struck out only eight times

in 89 plate appearances. Both are

outstanding leaders.’’

Two other key infielders include

seniors Matt Kaplan (second

base) and Greg Assad (third

base). “Matt hit .351 in the cleanup

slot,’’ Coppinger said. “Able to

hit for power, his 15 RBIs were

second on the team. He’s smooth

defensively ,and he’s got speed on

the bases. Greg buoyed our infield

with some smooth play. He

got some timely hits in the playoffs,

and we’re hoping he takes a

step forward on offense.’’

Senior Matt Mueller, a spot

starter at catcher last year, filled in

for the injured Trent Flood. Coppinger

likes his efforts behind the

plate. “Matt has a quick release

to second base,’’ Coppinger said.

“He’s solid on defense and blocks

the plate well. He swings hard

and has power.’’

Junior Troy Newman is the

only underclassman in Medway’s

six-man nucleus. “Troy hit .304

year, some growth as well. Contributed photo.

last year,’’ Coppinger said. “He’s

a good contact hitter who’s awesome

on defense. He’s displayed a

good approach to the game. His

instincts are very good, he gets

a good jump on the ball and his

throws are accurate.’’

The corner outfield positions

are up for grabs, and at Local

Town Pages deadline, Coppinger

was preparing to see which prospects

would emerge during preseason

practice. One potential

prospect is Drew Plunkett, Medway’s

two-time MVP in football

and basketball. He’s decided to

play baseball. “It’s always great to

add a multi-sport athlete,’’ Coppinger

said. “I’m not sure where

he’ll play, but we’re pleased he’s

decided to compete.’’

On the pitching front, senior

Drew Nix and sophomore Ryan

Abrams are right-handers who

got limited innings last year.

“Drew’s fastball goes 80 mph,

his curve is good, and he’s working

on his change-up,’’ Coppinger

said. “We’re hoping he

takes a step forward and becomes

a key in the rotation. Ryan

pitched only two innings last year,

but he throws hard, has good

control and mixes his pitches

well. His fastball also is in the 80

mph range and his curve ball is

effective.’’

Sheehan, who’s pitched occasionally,

could be available in

relief or as a spot starter. “Nick

throws strikes, has good control

and an effective fastball,’’ Coppinger

emphasized. “I’ll be looking

for additional pitching help

throughout the program. I may

call on a positional player for

help.’’

Coppinger expects Medway to

contend for the small division title

in the TVL. He views defending

champ Dedham as a favorite but

also likes Bellingham and Norton.

Now in his sixth year as coach,

Coppinger will continue to rely

on a competitive philosophy that

focuses on reaching one’s potential.

“If our players are improving

and having fun, then winning

will follow,’’ he said. “And, we

also want our players to learn

valuable life lessons, like being

accountable, being good teammates

and leaders, and understanding

the importance of being

resilient.’’

The Mustangs displayed

all those qualities last year in a

campaign that produced a 17-7

record, a Sectional title and the

school’s deepest tourney run.

Medway has a quality corps

of veterans returning, and if it

gets consistent and capable pitching,

another tourney berth will be

in its future.

essential that legislators remain in constant communication

with the communities they represent,”

said Senator Rausch. “Physical social distancing is

a critical tool to prevent the spread of disease, and

I am committed to virtually meeting with my constituents

while I continue working with my Senate

colleagues to curb the COVID-19 outbreak in our

Commonwealth.”

remotely every other week until further notice. Upcoming

dates are as follows:

Tips on Keeping Tabs

with Loved Ones in

Nursing Home Care

By J.D. O’Gara

Are you worried about your

loved one, separated from you in

a nursing facility at this time?

Audra Noonan, of Millis,

Palliative Certified Nurse Practitioner,

wants families with loved

ones in nursing homes to understand

their rights in receiving information

from the care facilities

to which they entrust their loved

ones.

First, she says, “People have

the right to request records of

a family member at any time. I

would be requesting weekly records

of vital signs, nursing notes

or any physician visits. Do they

have a fever? Is their blood pressure

normal? Does the nurse see

any unusual behaviors? Is there

anything I need to know about?”

If the loved one in the nursing

home is receiving hospice or palliative

care, says Noonan, that’s

another check-in on the patient.

“You should be touching base

with your hospice nurse or palliative

provider every time they go

into (your loved ones’) facility,”

says Noonan.

While checking in and getting

updates on your loved one is very

important, Noonan advises trying

to work with nursing staff at

your facility and ask them what

the best time of day would be to

talk with them for an update.

“In nursing, like with any job,

there are certain times of the

day that are just the worst time

for anybody to call,” she says.

Tricky times might be during

morning checks or at lunchtime,

when staff is busy with patients.

“So, there are certain times of

the day that are usually better

than others,” says Noonan. In

some cases, she says, there might

be a better contact person with

whom to touch base. “Some

nursing homes might be setting

up a certain person for families

to talk to,” she says.

Noonan especially wants families

to understand that they have

the right to ask for medical records

and ask about other things,

even whether their facility could

What to Do with Rollover Funds

At some point, many people

with retirement or employersponsored

investment accounts

will be faced with the decision

of what to do with rollover

funds. This can happen when

you change jobs or when you

retire. In any case, it’s important

to think through your options.

Ideally, it’s best to choose

a strategy that meets your retirement

needs, minimizes the

impact of taxes, and avoids

penalties.

Please note that this is a general

overview, and tax laws can

be tricky, so be sure to talk to an

accountant and/or tax attorney

before making your final decision.

Roll it over.

One possible option is to

directly roll your entire distribution

into an individual retirement

account (IRA) or the

employer-sponsored 401(k) at

your new job. Either option will

allow you to continue to defer

taxes and enable you to continue

building your retirement

savings for the future.

Leave it where it is.

You may want to keep funds

in your employer’s plan, if that’s

an option. This may be ideal if

you want to take advantage of

certain investment options or

managed money services available

in your existing plan. Your

funds will remain tax-deferred

and can later be moved, if you

wish, to a new employer’s qualified

plan or an IRA.

Take the taxable

distribution.

Depending on your situation,

you may choose to withdraw

the funds from your

401(k). Although this will give

you immediate access to your

savings, there are a few things to

consider before taking a lumpsum

distribution.

First, your money will no

longer have the potential to

grow tax deferred. Second,

it will be subject to ordinary

state and federal income taxes.

Third, if you are under age

59½, a 10% IRS penalty may

apply.

Please note: Rollovers must

be completed no later than

the 60th day after the day you

receive the distribution. To

avoid any possibility of missing

the deadline, have the money

moved electronically from one

account to the other. (This is

known as a direct rollover.)

NURSING HOMES


provide Facetime or Skype, so

that they can better stay in touch

with their loved ones.

Working with the facility is

important, especially in terms

of staffing, which might be even

more limited due to illness, says

Noonan. “You have to balance

care for the patient with giving

information.” In the best-case

scenario, she says, “You want to

try to consolidate and have one

person, one point of contact, so

that you don’t impede care, but

you are still able to get information.”

If you strongly feel the information

you do get on your loved

one reveals negligence, or you

feel the facility is being unreasonable,

Noonan explains that

families always have the right to

report serious issues to the Department

of Public Health.

“I do tell people to try to go

through the chain of command.

If (there’s a problem with a

nurse), go to a supervisor. If it’s a

problem with that person, try to

go to the director of nursing. But

if it’s that serious, you want to go

to the state. Every nursing home

in the state has something called

an ombudsman, and that person

kind of functions as an advocate

within that nursing home, so you

can contact them.”

According the Nursing Home

Consumer Information page at

the Commonwealth of Massachusetts’

site, (https://www.mass.

gov/how-to/file-a-complaintregarding-a-nursing-homeor-other-health-care-facility

),

families are encouraged to use

this avenue to raise any concerns

about their nursing homes with

the Long-term Care Ombudsman.

“Most often,” it reads, “the

facility will be able to begin addressing

your concerns immediately

and give you information

about the facility’s complaint/

grievance procedure.”

“Most nursing homes are

there to do what’s right for the

patients,” says Noonan, “and

families and nursing homes need

to work together.”
