Medway to Hold Town-Wide Forum on Exelon Plant Oct. 21

Millis Police Build Trust in Community By J.D. O’Gara The Millis Police Department faced some difficult circumstances last month on the first day of school. After a school lockdown, reported gunfire and a town wide lockdown, evidence ultimately revealed that parttime Millis Police Officer Bryan Johnson fabricated his story of gunfire and car chase with a suspect in a maroon pickup truck. Johnson, 24, of Millis, fired from the department, has pled not guilty to misleading a police investigation, malicious destruction of property valued at greater than $250, unlawful discharge of a firearm and providing false information to emergency services personnel. Johnson will return to Wrentham District Court on October 30 for a Probable Cause hearing. While not permitted to discuss details of ongoing investigations, Millis Police Chief Keith Edison noted, “Clearly, when information was learned, it was put out there. I think any time

The Energy Facilities Siting Board’s (EFSB) hearing process is underway for Exelon’s proposed expansion of its generating capacity at its facility on Summer Street. The Medway Board of Selectmen will hold a forum on this expansion on Wednesday, October 21, at Medway High School. Residents and businesses are invited to submit any technical questions in advance (by October 6) to the Board of Selectmen. “We want to make the residents aware of the town wide meeting,” says Medway Selectman Dennis Crowley. “Residents will have questions and answers. We’re asking folks if they have a question prior to, if they can submit them to the town so we can research them and get the information rather than have them posed at town meeting.” A letter sent to Medway resi-

dents by the Board of Selectmen explains that Medway will have its team of contracted consultants at that forum to help address additional questions and concerns. By that date, information from those consultant’s reports should be available for residents to review. The oil-fired Exelon facility on Summer Street, next to a major electrical switching station owned by Eversource as well as an existing natural gas pipeline, has been operating for decades, visible along Rte. 126. Late last winter, Exelon made their case for a new adjacent facility run primarily on naturalgas with an oil back-up, pointing to the positive financial impact the facility would have on Medway. “They had an informal meeting with us in November of 2014,” says Crowley, where the town learned of their intentions. “They

BLADELESS CATARACT SURGERY? (FEMTOSECOND LASER)

IS YOUR OPHTHALMOLOGIST TAKING YOU FOR A RIDE?

here is a new medical device that has been introduced to make the initial incision before for cataract surgery, called the femtosecond laser. It may add a minimal level of precision to the procedure. However, the marketing people have been clever: Note the use of the term "bladeless." This preys on our inherent fear of being cut in the eye. A laser is just as

"sharp" as a blade, but it sounds so much more benign.

$3000 or more per eye extra for their "premium" cataract surgery.

A BOSTON BASED OPHTHALMOLIGIST COMMENTED; “Seems a bit shady to me. I have heard ads on the radio that say, 'If you aren't getting laser cataract surgery you aren't getting the best!'" So what does this mean for the medicare patient convinced by their unethical ophthalmologist to have a premium IOL or toric lens implanted? Well, they not only will be charged for that premium toric astigmatic lens (many times around $1500-2500 extra depending on the surgeon) but also they will be charged an "imaging fee" for use of the femotosecond laser. This imaging fee can essentially be whatever the surgeon wants it to be. The various device companies charge you for the laser and a "per-click" use as well. So now the patient is paying

ANOTHER BOSTON OPHTHALMOLIGIST COMMENTED; “I liken the assistance the femtosecond laser gives cataract surgeons to bathroom attendants in high-dollar nightclubs and restaurants:” “Thanks, but I can grab the towel and soap myself.” The Cataract Surgery Center of Milford

is the first in Massachusetts to obtain the very highly accurate “fingerprinting” imaging of the eye; The Verion System. The Verion System allows your surgeon to now customize every aspect of your cataract procedure. From the measurements taken prior to your surgery all the way through to receiving your new lens, every step of The Verion System procedure is tailored specifically to your eye, your vision goals and your lifestyle. The Verion System works together with the high technology of the Centurion phacoemulsification and Leica microscope in the operating room where the “fingerprinting” image from The Verion System connects the patients information in real time. Since each eye is unique with their own “fingerprint”, there is no mistaken whose image belongs to whom. The best part is that there is no additional charge or “click” fee! It’s all part of giving our patients the very best, “Conceirge, Cataract Care.”

At the Cataract Surgery Center of Milford, not only are we conveniently located in our great community of Milford, we also carry Alcon astigmatic premium lenses for $800.00!

They're your eyes and you should get the very best without compromising your retirement fund. You have choices and you should “shop” around, even for your cataract surgery. You shouldn't have to financially put the brakes on your lifestyle in order to get the best lens implants that technology can offer you today. Explore your options at www.besteyedoc.com or call us at 508-381-5600 We always have and always will strive to provide the very best “Conceirge, Cataract Care”.

requires that the community has faith in their actions, and “there’s nothing as important as trust when it comes to a relationship between the police department and the community.” In fact, the incident above came at a time that the Millis Police Department was already making an effort to establish a closer relationship to the community. Sgt. Chris Soffayer, former D.A.R.E. officer for Millis Public Schools, has reached out to the Millis community with through updated social media and monthly forums at the Millis Public Library. Sgt. Soffayer says the department was responding to a need expressed by residents. “Collectively as a department, we launched Twitter @millispolice, a Millis Police Department Facebook page, and a new interactive website for the Police Department,” says Soffayer. “All the different social media sites that we’ve added have been really well received, and the biggest thing is you are able to associate a name with a face of the officer.” The social media, says Sof-

fayer, is truly a team effort, with various officers submitting different subject matter to be posted. “The police blotter, the police log, is great, but it doesn’t really paint a picture,” says Sgt. Soffayer. “It only tells you we went there for this reported crime, but it doesn’t tell you the lady at home was alerted by her dog, kept her calm in a safe position and was able to keep her eyes on the subject while on the line with dispatchers until officers arrived.” The library forums, says Soffayer, also allow “a fantastic opportunity for the people to get any issues addressed that they would like addressed, as well as get a presentation. The plan is the Millis Police Department booked out a year of certain dates and times at the Millis Public Library. Subject matter for those particular dates will be announced two months prior.” This month’s forum will take place on October 19, at 7 p.m. Along those lines of outreach, Officer Dale Bickford, the Millis Public Schools’ D.A.R.E. officer, met last month with a group of parents to teach them about some of the substances, such as “vapes,” to which children might be ex-

posed. Bickford, invited by parent Jen Pruskin, said he is always happy to help inform the community. Sgt. Soffayer has also involved the Millis Fire Department in his outreach, hoping to impart the great working relationship of the two departments. On September 30, at 7 p.m., for example, Sgt. Soffayer and Fire Chief Barrett were scheduled to offer a CPR/ defibrillator awareness training at the library. Between public outreach efforts and the actions of the Millis Police Department during a difficult situation in early September, the community of Millis has shown an outpouring of support for their police department. On September 14, Chris Smith, Board of Selectman Chair wrote a letter recognizing the efforts of the department and the “professional and compassionate leadership provided by Sergeant William Dwyer,” in addition to thanking fire and school officials. On Labor Day, in fact, hundreds of Millis residents gathered for a show of support to their police department. The event, organized by Mike Leach, allowed residents to personally thank

members of the Millis Police Department. Leach says he felt moved to do something to “express that the actions of one cannot take away from the service of many.” When he put out the call, he says, “residents responded in droves.” “I would hope that the community’s take was that, at first, when we thought it was an issue with the

school, and then it was someone out in the community, that officers of the department stepped in harm’s way for the community, because that’s our job. That’s why we’re here,” says Chief Edison. “And people should be proud of this police department for doing that. I know I certainly am.”

abutters, but said he understands their trepidation. “I feel for the abutters,” says Medway Selectman Dennis Crowley. “If I was the abutter, I’d probably be doing the same thing, raising all the questions and concerns. The concerns I have are environmental, noise concerns and visual concerns, such as the height of the stacks, or towers.” Residents are, in fact, voicing concern. Some took to picketing Medway Town Hall about the plant in mid-September on the day Medway signed a Community Compact with the Lt. Governor. A Facebook page entitled “Stop Medway Power Plant” had 521 likes as of mid-September, and opponents have also assembled a “Stop Medway Peaker Project” website at www.stopmedwaypeaker.com. The group is also on Twitter. Opponents encourage residents to voice opposition in the form of letters to Selectmen and to attend the October 21 meeting. Crowley says that as a Selectman, he needs to look at pros and cons. Conservative estimates, he says, place the monetary benefit to Medway at $2 million a year in tax base, something the town cannot dismiss or overlook. Crowley also adds that voting on the plant may not be effective. “We don’t have a vote, to vote

Aspinwall, who adds that although Millis can physically pump up to 4.3 million gallons per day (gpd) from its groundwater sources, a state permit limits that pumping to 900,000 gpd. So far, Millis’ average use is 600,000 gpd, with 1.1 million on a peak day. In terms of possible mitigation, Medway officials are also looking at issues of noise and air quality, looking for adherence to MADEP noise mitigation and control, and the town is also against the use of diesel fuel as a backup energy source. Its letter to residents says its goal is protecting abutters, increasing safety precautions, minimizing traffic and keeping visual impacts to a minimum. The town has also researched comparisons of a solar generation facility versus the 7-acre 200 mW peaker plant proposed, finding that a 19-acre solar facility nearby generates significantly less energy. “Nobody wants a power plant built,” says Crowley, “but the federal EPA has to approve this. They’ve got to go through very strict environmental scrutiny,” he adds. Brian Adams, a 12-year resident of the town, opposes the plant. “It’s not the right place to put a large electric generating plant, in the middle of a bedroom community,” he says. “Between

the amount of pollution it will generate, the amount of water it will take everyday to operate the plant and the exposure of pollution to children and adults that’s known to cause health issues, for a town trying to be a green community, to add 700,000 tons of greenhouse gases to the environment is not that green.” Adams says he hopes that the Board of Selectmen would consider these factors and the long term concerns and come out and oppose the plant to the EFSB. “I don’t know how money will offset pollution. You can’t take the money and scrub the air with it. Everybody is going to pay by breathing in that pollution,” says Adams. “Being on the record and saying no – that’s a fairly powerful piece of information.” Eric Lyndstrom, an 8-year resident of Medway, says he has faith in his elected officials, and he leans toward supporting the plant. “I’m more leaning towards it, if they can keep a safe environment with an expansion that’s going to bring in added resources for the community, the short and long term future. That’s kind of where I am with it,” says Lyndstrom. One thing for certain is that Medway residents won’t want to miss the October 21 meeting.

this thing up or down,” he says. “The Board of Selectmen and the Town of Medway are not the decision makers in this process. It’s the EFSB, the Energy Facility Siting Board, that has the statutory authority to approve or disapprove this project. As a board, we can raise our concerns and be in a position to negotiate with Exelon for better terms and conditions.” “It’s highly unlikely we’re going to be able to stop this plant,” says Crowley. “In talking with our consultants, if we fight them and take them to court, we will probably be able to delay the project a year or two in court, but we have an extremely remote possibility of winning – and we would have spent anywhere between $300,000 to $500,000 in court fees.” The Board of Selectmen and town employees have researched several aspects of this project. They address them on the town website, townofmedway.org. Among concerns addressed include the use of water, which Medway will not provide to Exelon. In fact, as of mid September, Exelon had held two meetings with Millis’ drinking water committee to discuss purchasing an average daily demand of 55,000 gallons with the possibility of 190,000 gallons on a peak day, according to Millis Town Administrator Charles

DA Morrissey joins AG Healey, Police and Fire Chiefs Announcing Fund and Funding for Overdose Reversal Drug Local police and fire departments will get steady price, state support

When the price of the lifesaving opiate overdose reversal drug Naloxone spiked last year – roughly tripling in a few months - Norfolk District Attorney Michael W. Morrissey turned to Attorney General Maura Healey for help. That help has arrived, and local police and fire departments are going to have a steady supply, at a discount, thanks to AG Healey’s work. “We purchased 900 doses of naloxone to provide to all of our police and fire departments in March of 2014, and we paid roughly $22 a dose,” DA Morrissey said. “Some of our municipalities were using those doses very quickly. When we offered grants to help replenish those supplies, we saw that the prices were inconsistent and rising, with Walpole paying $37.50 per dose,

www.divorcecollaborative.com 163 Main Street, Suite Six, Medway, MA 02053

Randolph paying $39 per dose, and then Needham and Wrentham paying $66.89 for the same dose. We knew something was wrong with this picture.” Last week, a few months after initially raising the issue with Attorney General Healey, Morrissey joined her, state Sen. President Stanley Rosenberg, Sen. John Keenan (Quincy), Norwood Police Chief William Brooks III and others announcing a solid resolution to the resupply problem. During the last budget cycle, the State Senate created a dedicated revolving fund to allow the Department of Public Health to purchase naloxone in bulk, then re-sell it at reduced cost to municipal police and fire departments. The legislature appropriated $125,000 to the fund.

On Aug. 31, Attorney General Healey announced that her office has reached an agreement with Amphastar Pharmaceuticals, Inc. that will require the company to pay $325,000 to help offset the costs of the drug. The first-of-its kind payment from the manufacturer to a state will go into the Commonwealth’s Municipal Naloxone Bulk Purchase Trust Fund, established to increase access to the nasal spray version of Naloxone through a discounted program. “Putting Naloxone in police cruisers started with the City of Quincy and the good work of Chief Paul Keenan and Lt. Det. Pat Glynn. It has spread to a statewide movement, and it is saving lives across the Commonwealth – and spreading across the country,” District Attorney Morrissey said.

Derek’s – A Fresh Spin with a Family Touch Derek’s Steak and Seafood is a family business, and while the name might sound new to the Medway area, this elegant evening dining experience has been a part of the Medway community for 10 years. Paul Winshman, owner of Derek’s and native to the area, bought his first home in Medway. Affectionately known by his family as “Zio Paolo,” or Uncle Paul, he named his first restaurant, in Medway, Zio Paolo’s. As Winshman’s family has grown, so has his restaurant, both in menu variety and in name. The same location, now known as Derek’s, follows a family naming tradition in honor

of Winshman’s oldest son, who, while still in college, has personally helped his father research and develop the expanded new menu. “I’ve had the luxury of having a great relationship with both of my parents, as their son and as a working partner,” says Winshman, whose parents owned Richards’ Food and Drink, in Milford, “and I hope to have a similar relationship with my son, Derek.”

When the time came for bringing a modern edge to the Medway restaurant, he says “Derek was instrumental with me in doing several trips to the Gulf Coast area for research and product development. We freshened up the restaurant and the floor plan and made some changes to the menu,” says Winshman, who lovingly held onto the most popular Italian dishes, such as the third generation recipe chicken parmesan, a dish he feels is “the best around.” What Derek’s added, says the restaurateur, is “a fresh spin on steak and seafood, and the inspiration is from Panama City to New Orleans.” Whereas most New England patrons might encounter a lot of colonial style, traditional spins on these main entrees, Derek’s more well-traveled palate incorporates southern spice blends with a French influence with dishes like jambalaya, a New Orleans steak Au Pouve and a pan seared Kentucky Style Steak Tips in a honey bourbon reduction over risotto. “We specialize in dinner, and we really make an effort to give people an exceptional experience, not only with the quality of the food, but also in an elegant environment,” says Winshman of his

restaurant, open for dinner only from 5-9 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays. (Sundays, he says, is a family day.) “The people who have come in have loved it,” says Winshman, “Give us a try and you’ll want to come back.” A night at Derek’s is like dining aboard a cruise ship, says Winshman. The food is phenomenal, in a casual, friendly environment infused with southern hospitality. All the food is made from scratch, including all breads, butters and sauces. “We’re committed to the highest quality of foods,” says Winshman. Even the chicken

the restaurant uses is top quality platinum chicken, “the best of the best.” “We want to give you a fantastic dinner experience with friends and family,” says Winshman, “and it’s a great place for a date night for you and your spouse to come in for a specialty cocktail. We come in at four in the afternoon with the sole goal of preparing a fantastic dinner.” Winshman is personally in the building nearly every night Derek’s is open to see to it that customers are immersed in a comfortable yet elegant environment. Members of his family and friends also help ensure a personal touch. “It’s my goal to make sure every customer leaves wanting to come back,” says Winshman, “Let my friends and family take good care of yours.” Derek’s Steak and Seafood, located at 112 Main Street in Medway, is open Tuesday through Saturday, from 5-9 p.m. and offers both an amazing dine-in experience as well as take-out. Find Derek’s Steak and Seafood at derekssteakandseafood.com and also on Facebook.

Medway Signs Community Compact with State By Marjorie Turner Hollman The town hall in Medway was filled with local and state government dignitaries Thursday, September 24 for the signing of a community compact between Medway and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Lt. Governor Karyn Polito arrived mid-afternoon to meet with the board of Selectmen and the town administrators for the signing. Medway is the 26th town in the commonwealth to sign a community compact with the state, in a program that was initiated by the Baker/Polito administration earlier this year. Lt. Governor Polito has been empowered by the governor “to be a champion for municipal issues across state government,” according to an information sheet provided by the governor’s office. During the signing ceremony, which took place at the Medway town hall, Polito pointed out that “this community compact program is voluntary and selfdirected. You elect what you want to achieve. It’s a program that is available to all 361 towns in Massachusetts. We’ve helped the gateway cities in our state; we wanted to do something to help smaller towns throughout the commonwealth.” To participate in the program, towns had to complete an application, and indicate which category of “Best Practices” they were interested in focusing on. Medway chose to use this opportunity to receive state support to improve community engagement through technology. Assistant Town Administrator, Allison Potter, who completed the application for the

town, explained that “We’re building on a foundation of what we’ve already implemented. The state has a lot of experience in public relations and social media, so they can help us to focus our efforts.” Potter noted, “The period of engagement is two years. We don’t yet have a process in place to measure progress, but I am sure that will be part of what comes out of our planning and training.” She also pointed to the compact document itself, which states: “There is a documented citizen engagement strategy for deployment of technology solutions, including a public communication strategy and a professional development strategy to ensure that internal resources can effectively engage with users via technology.” State Representative Jeff Roy said, “We’re happy to see the Lt. Governor come to Medway to sign this agreement with local officials. Adopting best practices can help local taxpayers see the best government use of funds. Medway will be served well with this agreement.” Polito pointed out that by entering this agreement, Medway is in a better, more competitive position when competing for available grants. She recalled her own time working in local government in Shrewsbury and said, “This is a sharing of state resources with our communities. It’s a good, solid program and I wanted to be here personally to thank you for your participation.” Stephanie Mercandetti, Director of Community and Economic Development note that “we’ve tried to have different boards and committee have sufficient information about projects. We’ve also

tried to provide information to the public to help with understanding permitting processes.” Chairman of the board of Selectman, John Foresto, said that one of the town’s goals is “to achieve more transparency, and to allow town government documents to be more searchable.” State Representative John Fernandes noted, “With state government, there is a feeling of distance. This agreement helps bring back that feeling of connection between local and state government. Local government is suffering from lack of participation. This program is a real blending of interests for the common good.”

The town of Medway became the 26th town in the commonwealth to sign a community compact with the state in a program that was initiated by the Baker/Polito administration earlier this year.

Musical Theater Takes Center Stage at FSPA

With extensive programs in singing, dancing and acting, the Franklin School for the Performing Arts (FSPA) is well positioned to offer a hands-on, interdisciplinary musical theater experience. Whether for fun or serious study, students can choose just one class or design a full program to meet individual interests. “Musical theater is such a wonderful outlet for recreational involvement in the arts,” says FSPA Founder and Director Raye Lynn Mercer. “And for the career bound, the school offers everything from a pre-college Musical Theater Conservatory to professional management for young performers seeking that level of opportunity.” Celebrating 30 years of quality arts education, FSPA boasts an impressive record of placing graduates in the most prestigious college and conservatory musical theater programs. Alumni are also making their mark on Broadway, in national Broadway tours, cruise line casts, American Idol, film, television and regional theater. But many students choose a path at FSPA that is purely recreational, finding an outlet for creativity and fun. For these students, the benefits of an FSPA experience are not measured in professional performance credits or college-conservatory placement, but in lifelong

memories and friendships, enhanced skills and increased poise and self-esteem. Beginning with Children’s Musical Theater, which introduces students in kindergarten and first grade to basic skills in acting, singing and dancing, FSPA provides multi-level, once-a-week combination classes. Musical Theater I-IV teaches progressively more challenging technique and styles, involving more advanced song repertoire and scene work and incorporating history and lessons from legends of the Broadway stage. For the musical theater student seeking a greater level of participation, FSPA offers wide-ranging classes in all three performing arts disciplines. The school’s Pro Voice program provides voice classes and private lessons focusing on the development of healthy technique, musicality and stylistic skills. The Dance Department offers multi-level classes in Ballet, Jazz, Tap, Modern, Hip Hop, Lyrical/ Contemporary, and Dance for Musical Theater, as well as specialized classes for young children,

boys, adults and beginner teens. FSPA’s Drama program provides classes in scene study, character development, improvisation, performance skills and audition technique. At any level, ongoing performing opportunities are a hallmark of FSPA’s musical theater experience. Participation in performances is optional, but encouraged as a fun way to apply skills learned in the classroom, grow creatively and gain increased confidence onstage. An unparalleled calendar of performing opportunities features voice recitals, opera scenes, acoustic coffee houses, Glee Club and trimester showings for all of the musical theater classes. FSPA also presents four all-student productions each year, featuring a musical, play, ballet and opera. Students in grades 5 and up may audition for musical theater troupes, with performances at FSPA, in the community and at Walt Disney World. The Disney experience is an annual weeklong trip over the April school break for select senior ensembles and features two performances on Disney stages and workshops with Disney performers, choreographers and directors.

Protecting Your Business from Cyber/data Privacy Breaches If your business stores customers’ personal information, you have to be on heightened alert and have a plan in place to protect your company given the possibility of a cyber/data breach. While highly publicized cases such as the Target, Home Depot and Anthem breaches have raised awareness,

small businesses are equally vulnerable. And, it’s not always cyber hackers that can cause a data breach; human error is often the cause of many breaches. To help local businesses learn more about steps they should take to prevent data breaches, Medway Business Council (MBC) has

planned a panel discussion on “Protecting Your Business from Data Threats” to be held on October 20 at 5 p.m. Speakers Delia Chaves, IT Manager at Murphy Insurance Agency and John Haddad, owner of Bisinet Technologies will discuss planning to be in compliance with private customer

Medway Senior Center to Collect Donations through October

By J.D. O’Gara The Medway Senior Center is sponsoring a collection of needed supplies for our wounded warriors recovering at the Landstuhl Regional Medical Center (LRMC), a military hospital, located near Landstuhl, Germany. “This is the hospital that when (U.S. soldiers) are wounded in battle, this is their first stop before coming home to the United States,” says Karen Henneberry, who is organizing the drive. “People are eager to help,” she says. Medway Senior Ginny Dale’s son, Bobby O’Donnell, is a civilian who works at the German base, says Henneberry, and his wife is also a pediatric physical therapist there. Through this connection, Medway Seniors learned that ser-

vice men and women are in need of the following: • Plain white T shirts – crewneck (sizes m, l, xx) • Hanes – hoodies (zipper, sizes m, l, xx) • Sweatpants (sizes m, l, xx) • Lounge/sleep pants (sizes m, l, xx) • White crew socks

If you would like to donate to help these wounded soldiers, a collection basket for donations of these items will be at the senior center for the month of October, and items will be sent in time for the holidays. If you have any questions on the collection, please leave a message for Karen Henneberry at the Medway Senior Center at (508) 533-3210.

LIVING HEALTHY Laser Bladeless Cataract Surgery By: Roger M. Kaldawy, M.D., Milford Franklin Eye Center Modern cataract surgery is one of the safest and most effective medical procedures performed today. More than 3 million cataracts are removed every year in the United States alone. Modern cataract surgery uses ultrasonic waves to break up a cataract, making it easier to remove. When this technique became widely available, it made

an extended hospital stay unnecessary and shortened recovery time. Until recently, delivering these waves to the cataract meant that a blade (a surgical knife) was required to make a small incision (a cut) through the eye where the ultrasonic needle was introduced. When rolled up, an artificial replacement lens is implanted through the same very small (2-3 mm) incision through which the cataract has been removed. Once in the eye, the lens implant unfurls

and returns to its normal shape. Is it possible to perform cataract surgery without a blade? Yes, this state-of-the-art scientific breakthrough is now here! There are no eyes like yours, and there is no cataract procedure like customized bladeless laser cataract surgery for your eyes. Bladeless Laser Cataract Surgery is now a reality and is the first major advancement in cataract surgery in 20 years. The FDA approved laser systems able to produce precise cuts with-

out any blades. It gives the surgeon image-guided control and the ability to plan and customize each procedure to the unique characteristics of the patient’s eye. Bladeless Laser Cataract Surgery uses a computer-guided femtosecond laser to do many of the steps currently performed by hand, and is designed to provide a greater level of precision and safety to modern cataract surgery. The laser advanced bladeless precision and ability to correct astigmatism translates into outcomes that increase the likelihood of seeing well without glasses following cataract surgery. In fact, the femtosecond laser creates incisions in areas that will relax the cornea to reduce astigmatism and often decrease the dependence on glasses. Many patients do not realize it, but cataract surgery is a type of refractive surgery. Refractive surgery is designed to reduce and in many cases eliminate your need for glasses after the surgery. By combining the use of the laser during the bladeless surgery and premium advanced technology implants, we can replace your natural lens with a new lens that corrects your vision and help eliminate your need for glasses.

better and without glasses not only for distance, but also for reading. In addition to producing precise cuts needed for surgery, the laser used in bladeless cataract surgery breaks up and softens the cloudy cataract, so there is less ultrasound needed to remove the cataract. Less ultrasound delivered inside the eye translates into less energy used in the eye and clearer corneas, which in turn help producing better vision on the first day after the surgery. Bladeless cataract surgery includes a two-step approach: Prior to starting the process of removal of the cloudy lens with the ultrasound, the femtosecond laser is first used to perform all the incisions needed with high precision, including the opening needed in the cloudy lens. This circular opening is one of the most challenging steps for a surgeon to perform with his hands, and the laser makes the opening safer, more precise and more accurate. Using the laser means that no surgical blades touch the eye. This step is then followed by activating the same laser to soften the lens and facilitate its removal. Once the laser surgery is completed, the surgeon uses the ultrasound needle to remove the lens, now much softer courtesy of the laser. The surgeon then implants the artificial lens needed to replace the cloudy lens. Once the implant is in, the surgeon completes the surgery and the patient is discharged in a routine outpatient procedure. Vision improvement is often immediate, with drops used for few weeks to help with healing. Laser bladeless cataract surgery is all about better precision, more safety and excellent outcomes. The laser brings a new level of customization to cataract surgery, allowing each procedure to be specifically tailored to patient anatomy. Across the country, only a small number of these specialized lasers are available and in use. At Milford Franklin Eye Center, Dr. Kaldawy was the first surgeon in the area and among the first in the nation to offer laser bladeless laser cataract surgery. We are proud to bring this technology to the area. For more details, see our ad on this page.

Halfway There –Millis Vets Memorial Remains Unfinished Project Dependent upon “Yes” Vote on CPC Funding at Millis Fall Town Meeting Nov. 2 By J.D. O’Gara The process began over 20 years ago. Members of American Legion Post 208, including Edward “Bud” Shropshire, began working with town officials to move memorials commemorating the sacrifices of veterans who served from conflicts raging from the Korean and Vietnam Wars to more recent conflicts from the old Millis Public Library site to the front of the Veteran’s Memorial Building. One of those two monuments, listing the names of Korean veterans on one side and Vietnam veterans on the other, was moved, and the foundation, or slab, for a second memorial, honoring more recently fallen veterans from conflicts until present, was set. The site for the second memorial, however, remains empty. At the Spring town meeting, Millis voters denied funds to move the monument in favor of having the memorial committee seek funding through Community Preservation Act funds. That money was reallocated at the time to voting machines, and the project of moving the second memorial was tabled until

the group could seek those funds through the CPC. “The Korean Vietnam Memorial was moved from the library site to the WWII site,” says Jim McKay, Assistant Director for Millis, “Now what we want to do is we want to honor the veterans that have served from Vietnam to the present.” In 2015, one estimate for the project was $23,995, made by the family that owns the company who made the first monument, the A. Monti Granite Company. McKay notes that a $10,000 grant received for this project will be also used to offset some of the cost. Side work, such as trucking and crane, will cost extra, says McKay, who says that could be about $3,000, although final quotes have not yet come in for that. A “yes” vote by Millis voters in the fall to use funds from the CPC for this project will allow it to be completed. According to Nathan Maltinsky, Chair of the Community Preservation Committee, Community Preservation funds have been used in similar instances for 18 different Massachusetts war memorial projects of similar scope.

This project, memorial honoring fallen veterans from Millis, remains unfinished, its completion dependent upon a yes vote by Millis voters at Fall Town Meeting on the use of CPC funds. On the left is a memorial honoring Korean and Vietnam veterans that was moved to the front of the Veteran’s Memorial Building. On the right is a slab ready for a new memorial to veterans who have perished in all subsequent conflicts.

“This is what the CPC is for,” says Maltinsky. “It’s for projects like this, and it’s a great tool for the community that has the CPC program.” “It’s important to the town for all those who served from Millis in conflicts to be recognized,” says Mark Slayton, member of American Legion Post 208. “It puts a human face on our sense of history,” adds Bob Yeager, also a member the Post. The 2015 Millis Fall Town Meeting will take place on Mon day, November 2, at 7:30 p.m. at the Millis Middle/High School, 245 Plain Street.

I can see clearly now, the FAT is gone! To successfully drop those excess pounds, 46 year-old Tom McAullife knew he needed a defined weight loss program. Between his hectic work schedule as president of WMRC Radio, 1490 AM, in Milford, and an active home life with his wife and three teenage sons, a clear plan was the only answer. He was already familiar with New England Fat Loss as an advertiser on his station and from friends who shared their suc-

cessful results. In July, he and his wife joined at the Hopkinton location. “I needed a program to follow,” McAullife said. “I have all this exercise equipment in the basement, but without someone like Dr. Johns and his staff, it wasn’t going to happen. I can be extremely disciplined if you give me a road map.” McAullife made the right choice. After only 27 days on the

program he lost 30 pounds. The bonus, the effect on how his new menu plan fueled his body. “By the time I got literally seven days into it, I could feel my metabolism on fire,” McAullife said. “I felt like whatever I was eating was getting burned up, the water was getting washed out.” McAullife admits shedding the weight was the initial goal, but he also joined NEFL to influence other aspects of his life. His de-

manding schedule promoted poor eating habits, and he felt a loss of control. Before joining NEFL, his body took charge, driving his actions, attitude and even sleep habits. After only one month, everything changed. “What I really wanted most of all is clarity,” McAullife said. “With a busy family and stressful, crazy work schedule, and feeling lousy because of eating bad food every day, I felt like I had lost clarity and organization in my head.” Since his success with New England Fat Loss, McAullife experiences a good night’s rest, free of previous sleep apnea and snoring and wakes at 5 a.m. to prepare the day’s schedules. A restful

sleep is even more vital when approximately 230,000 people rely on him and his station to stay informed with their local news, weather, traffic, music, religious and consumer programming and sports coverage. “I feel so good, it is simply amazing. The only thing I can point to is because of my experience with New England Fat Loss,” McAullife said.

Sports Medway Field Hockey – Potential Strength in Numbers By Christopher Tremblay Over the past few seasons the Medway field hockey team has averaged 24-28 girls on a regular basis, including having to ask for an eighth grade waiver 5 years ago in order to field a team. This year, things are different for Mustang coach Mary Ellen Hasenfuss who had 46 girls come out for the squad, including 22 freshmen. “As a coach, I’m thrilled to see these type of numbers. It’s hard to say why we got this influx of girls this season, it seems some of the kids have converted from soccer to field hockey,” the coach said. “Of the freshmen, who have showed up they are a spectacular group of girls that support one another and seem to be picking up the game quickly.” A few of the freshmen have showed decent stick skills so far throughout the tryouts and will find themselves playing on the varsity squad this fall. In fact, Hasenfuss has not only been impressed with the first year players, but all 46 athletes. “I’ve opted to keep all 46 girls as they have been working extremely hard and have shown an effort to become good players,” the coach said. “We’re all one happy family that will work and practice together. The varsity team will play their games first and the

girls who didn’t get into varsity action will play in the junior varsity game.” Hasenfuss hates to use the term ‘rebuilding year’ because it is something that usually doesn’t happen in Medway, but all signs point to the Mustangs heading in that direction. Medway went 9-4-1 last year; grabbed a number 8 seed in the Division 2 South Tournament and eventually fell to Apponequet 3-2 in the Quarter Finals. “We had a solid group of seniors (12) last year who had been with me since the 8th grade,” the coach said. “Last year we had a talented team, where 3 or 4 girls are now playing college field hockey, I’m just sorry that we didn’t go as far as we would have liked to.” Hasenfuss has seen an increase in athletes picking up field hockey sticks at the middle school, as well as those attending her yearly camp (three hours a day for one week) for fifth through ninth graders during the summer, both leading to girls getting to the high school level with a knowledge of the sport. Having lost a large number of key athletes from last year’s team Medway will see only 5 girls return to the field with any varsity experience. “Medway has no feeder program whatsoever for field hockey,

The number of incoming Medway field hockey players has risen this year, and with some mentoring, the Medway team, led by Coach Mary Ellen Hasenfuss, expects to see a growing strength.

so girls getting involved earlier than high school is a positive,” the coach said. “When they get to me in high school, most of the girls are picking up a field hockey stick for the first time, this weakens our program, as now we have to teach them the game from the beginning.” In addition to having a middle school program and others going

to camps to improve their skills Hasenfuss will be using her new assistant coach, Brenda Talamini, to infiltrate the elementary schools to teach the younger girls the sport and hopefully institute some interest. Hasenfuss has also instituted a Big Sister – Little Sister program, where older athletes will adopt a younger player and take them under their wing. Throughout the season the younger girls will be helped along with their learning

the process of the game as well as making them feel like they belong.” With the initiatives installed throughout the Medway field hockey program, Hasenfuss should eventually equip girls reaching the high school with a vast knowledge of the game and how it is played. In turn, the coach is hoping that the Mustangs can return not only to the top of the Tri-Valley League, but into championship status within the division.

Sports Versatile Costello Gives Medway Eleven Lots of Options

Jeff Costello of Medway is a versatile competitor for Medway High School. Photos by Matt Dwyer, Medway High.

By KEN HAMWEY Jeff Costello usually plays as a slot receiver on offense, a linebacker on defense and a punter on special teams for Medway High’s football squad. But, if the Mustangs’ coaching staff needed to utilize the 5-foot-9, 170-pound senior at quarterback or running back because of injuries, he not only would relish the challenge, but he’d also be totally prepared. This year, which is Costello’s second as a varsity regular, the versatile competitor gets a taste of a variety of roles in practice. As a starter, he’s played wide receiver, punted and, depending on the alignment, alternated at middle and outside linebacker. But, he can also give Medway backfield insurance if its depth is thinned by injury. “Jeff is smart, and he’s got a great knowledge and understanding of football,’’ said Medway

coach Dave McSweeney. “He never gives up. His skills are very good, but if he’s lacking in one area, he makes up for that deficiency with lots of effort. He should be one of the best receivers in the Tri Valley League this year.’’ Costello, who started in the outfield and at third base for the Mustangs’ baseball contingent, enjoys being a jack of all trades. “You have to be open-minded when you’re told to try a position you don’t usually play,’’ he said. “What’s important, however, is to adjust quickly, visualize being in a different role and lean on your strengths.’’ Costello, who is a National Honor Society student, obviously is a quick-learner. And, he’s got many of the attributes needed to play six positions. He can run and throw fairly accurately at quarterback and he’s got quickness, good hands and an ability to get open as a receiver. Last year, he caught 15 passes for 251 yards. As a running

back, he finds a hole quickly and runs through it hard. “On defense, I rely on speed and field awareness when I’m at outside linebacker,’’ Costello said. “When I’m in the middle, I try to read, react quickly and pursue. On special teams, my strengths as a punter are distance and hang time.’’ Medway has never qualified for the playoffs, but if this is the year it will be in the mix, Costello will be a key contributor because of his talent, versatility and competitive nature. “We had a disappointing 3-8 season last year but this time we’ve got a strong group,’’ Costello emphasized. “We believe we can make it to the playoffs. The seniors want to be remembered for that achievement. Playing in the Tri Valley League Large Division is always a challenge because Holliston is a powerhouse.’’ In spite of last year’s record, the Mustangs showed their grit when they faced Hopkinton. Decided underdogs, they rallied for a two-touchdown victory and Costello had his best game. “I had three catches for first downs and I played a strong game on defense, getting stops and a fair amount of tackles,’’ he recalled. A native of Medway, the 17-year-old Costello, who is a captain, admires his teammates’ dedication and his head coach’s style. “Jake Brodeur (quarterback), Maxx DiRienzo (running back/ linebacker) and Cam MacDougall (tackle) are all terrific senior leaders,’’ Costello said. “Jake is a competitor who has lots of heart, and he’s vocal. Maxx is strong and explosive in the backfield, and he hits hard, while Cam is a great leader who’s strong and motivating. As for coach McSweeney, he’s phenomenal. He can make a point without yelling, he’s a motivator and he knows the game.’’ Unsure of where he’ll go to college or whether he’ll continue with athletics, Costello is leaning towards a career in business. He’s very businesslike when he’s asked about competing. “Winning is very important,’’ he emphasized. “You have fun playing the game because you love it. Winning adds to the fun. It’s also important that you give your best at all times and learn life

lessons — like working as a team, setting goals and overcoming adversity.’’ A big fan of Patriots receiver Julian Edelman, Costello, who coincidently wears No. 11, likes the way the New England star “sacrifices his body to make a catch.’’ And, Edelman, who was a quarterback at Kent State, constantly displays his versatility as a receiver.

The Mustangs opened their season with a 29-7 loss against Norton and Costello was called on to play linebacker, receiver and punter. He was dynamic on offense, catching five passes for 98 yards. One of the receptions was a 22-yard touchdown pass. Jeff Costello is not only versatile, but he’s also extremely capable.

Sports Millis Flag Football Sees Growth in Players By J.D. O’Gara Millis Flag Football, an independent group geared to kids aged 5-14 and run through the Millis Recreation Department, started with just a handful of participants organized by interested parents. By 2006, 255 children played, growing to 305 in 2013 and then 322 in 2014.

“This year, in 2015, we started north of 400,” says John Loer, parent and President of the Millis Flag Football Association. “It’s unbelievable.” In a world of concussions and Pop Warner, says Loer, pointing to a recent Boston Globe article indicting early age tackle football as offering increased risk of concus-

sion, he says, flag football offers a “nice alternative.” He quotes on of his volunteers, Mark Curran, who played football for the University of Maine, as saying, “You can teach these kids strategy and all the things a high school football player needs without the physical contact.” Millis Flag Football is fun and balanced for all age groups, says Loer, who became involved five years ago when his son, then five, began to play. “It’s also great if your child is not a superstar but wants to be part of a team, to be active, to be involved in a seasonal activity besides just the standard sports,” he says. A professed fan of the NFL himself, Loer says he understands some families enjoy tackle football at a young age. “I’m just saying it’s a nice alternative. I’ve seen such wonderful things, the enjoyment of being with friends, but also learning the game of football. You can start off with the young ones teaching the fundamentals of throwing, catching, running with the ball and as they get older, they can understand more of plays and strategy all without having physical contact.” Millis Flag Football has become so popular, says Loer, that not only children from Millis, but children from 11 other towns also sign up “The majority are from Holliston, Medway and Millis,” says Loer,” but we have people from Sherborn, Upton, Milford, Bellingham and even the other direction, Medfield. It’s good — exciting to have that impact throughout the area.” From that diverse pool of kids are a slew of active parents, says Loer. “We have coaches from all

towns,” he says. “We have 44 coaches throughout the town and in addition, they try to have an assistant of some kind, and they’re all parents volunteering. The success of the league is due to a lot of coaching ability. We always try to thank parents for the time they invest.” This year’s 8-game season began on September 12 and will end November 7, with no game on Columbus Day weekend. Games take place in one-hour increments by age on Saturday mornings, from 8:30 to 12:30, usually behind the Clyde F. Brown Elementary School. Children practice about once a week. Lower says he finds it interesting that the age 5-6 group, usually the smallest, usually with 40 kids per season, was up to 65 this year. “That age group was the first to fill up,” says Loer. “It’s a good problem to have, and one of the challenges we have is making sure we have enough field space.” This year, the league ac-

tually had a “flag football draft” for its older players, aged 7-8, 9-10 and 11-14. “The neat thing about this draft is, unlike getting the best players, you’re trying to spread out the skill and balance the teams across the board, and by doing that you have more enthusiasm and involvement along the course of the season. Because it’s through the rec department, we want to make sure that skilled and unskilled are part of the overall picture of making it fair and even across the board.” Loer says trophies are not handed out, and that he feels “there are plenty of competitive years ahead of (players). When they get to middle school or high school or whatever, they’ll have plenty of chances to go as far as they can,” says Loer.” “The success is having the kids who have never caught a ball catch a ball, the kids who’ve never scored a touchdown, score a touchdown, and they’re actually more interested now. It has to do with how you have grown as a team, and because of that, we do have a lot of repeat players who come back for that self-fulfilling, gratifying feeling — getting enjoyment out of it, which is fantastic. That’s what you want.” Registration for Millis Flag Football is closed for the season, but if you’d like to find out more information, visit www.millisflagfootball.org.

Police Station Construction Held Up by Asbestos Discovery By J.D. O’Gara After a jovial groundbreaking ceremony complete with state lawmakers, Millis town selectmen, members of the Millis Permanent Building Committee, Millis Police

officers, representatives of architect CDR Maguire and members of the community on the evening of August 24, construction on the new Millis Police Station, at the corner of Auburn Road and Main

A bump in the road – the discovery of asbestos containing materials within the ground at the Millis Police Station construction site brought the building process to a halt. Pending Mass. DEP review, the Town instructed the Contractor to cover the exposed areas with poly until they receive notification on approved cleanup measures. The cleanup permit phase will take about a month, followed by a month of cleanup and then final clearances to continue on with the project.

Street, at 1003 Main Street, in Millis, has come abruptly to a halt following discovery of “unforeseen subsurface conditions,” explains a September 16 press release by the Town. According to the release, the earthwork construction for the project revealed materials that tested positive for asbestos. According to the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection, asbestos is classified as a “special waste” that can only be disposed of in landfills that have been approved to accept asbestoscontaining waste materials. Mishandling of asbestos may also be a violation of regulations other than air and solid waste. Millis, then, is required to provide removal and disposal by licensed asbestos abatement workers. As a safety precaution, the Town instructed the contractor to cover all the disturbed areas with poly, now completed. Work at the site has ceased until the Depart-

Spirits were high as, at last, construction officially began on August 24 on the new Millis Police Station, to be located at 1003 Main Street.

ment of Environmental Protection can visit the site and approve cleanup measures. The Construction Manager for the project is Agostini Bacon Construction, out of East Providence, and the Owner Project Manager is Compass Project Management. The Town has recently authorized their asbestos consultant, SMI (Southern Middlesex Industries), to prepare application to the DEP for the permits necessary for the cleanup. This consultant will prepare a work plan to be followed by the Contractor and monitored

by our consultant. Perimeter air quality monitoring will also be performed during the abatement activities. The construction project, then is set back for at least two months, as the permit phase will take one month, followed by one month of clean-up and final clearances to continue with the building construction. According to the release, the Town is working on developing a cost estimate for this activity for discussion at an upcoming Selectmen’s meeting.

In the Mood for Art in Medway Artist Spotlight: Anthony George By J.D. O’Gara How does a walk in the woods feel? That’s exactly the type of story Medway artist Anthony George can tell you with his impressionistic paintings. “What inspires me is being creative, being in nature, being spontaneous, creat-

ing something new and bringing nature inside your house, into your home,” says George. His eye is drawn by “almost nothing but light and color,” he says, “With two features, sometimes three, color, light and a space or composition, with those things, you make every kind of picture.” George is one local artist who will be regularly featured in the new galleries at Medway Mill Antiques & More, located at 135 Main Street in Medway. A glimpse at George’s paintings and pottery take the viewer on an artistic journey of the artist’s evolving style. At one time painting with more detail, lately, the artist has created chunkier, colorinfused expressions of his take on nature.

“If I can succeed in finding a mood, I’m done,” says George, whose paintings are also sold at the shop. His current paintings lead toward a happy, positive energy. “These are not calm paintings,” he says. “They’re almost always happy, positive. I don’t do dark very much. Mostly, I want to convey a love for creation.” George not only seeks to capture his impressions of the forest, but he is also drawn to depicting nature coming back in areas that were once commanded by mankind, such as forests growing back where farms are no longer farms, he says. The painter began his craft at age 15 in his home state of Michigan, with a simple box of oil paints he requested as a Christmas gift. “I started then and haven’t stopped since,” says George, who has since lived in a number of places, including Scotland, Greece and Paris. As a teen, he says, he painted in order to make posters he couldn’t find on the market. Later, he took a few lessons in college, but also “went to every gallery I could find, every museum I could find, studied a lot and read a lot of books,” he says. Later, George became a professor of Art and Humanities, teaching art history at the New England Institute of Art for 14 years. George says he has done so many paintings that he can’t choose a favorite. “I have periods, and periods change,” he says, “I have some that I throw the paint on, and I did some big ones of outer space, nebula, they are really fine, and I also have some of the White Mountains.” George says he is drawn to mountains and to the

woods, and he will add nudes to the nature paintings, because, he says, “it adds another dimension,” one of beauty intertwined with reproductivity. His favorite medium is oil. “Oil is the most versatile of all. You can do absolutely anything you want with it,” says George, a Medway resident since 2003. “I can keep working in it. I can mix it while it’s drying. You can get a color combination you wouldn’t be able to get otherwise. The thing about oil is the light sort of enters and bounces around, it’s transparent.”

The artist says he also likes to work with canvas, which is much tougher than the paperwatercolor or pastels require. The married father of two says someday, he’d love to have his own shop. He’s pleased that his children have inherited his love for creation, calling their work “amazing, so free and spontaneous,” and George lauds the Medway Public Schools for its high quality art program. In his perfect world, George would focus on painting murals, he says, although the artist emp l o y s his talent and for all types of commissions, including landscapes, personal and house portraits, signs, calligraphy – even interior and exterior house painting. He even makes precision art frames. You can take a look at Anthony George’s work anytime Medway Mill Antiques & More is open, or visit artbyanthonygeorge. com.

Millis has received $12,495 back on its workers compensation and property casualty insurance costs – applicable toward premiums for the next fiscal year— thanks to an incentive program offered by the Massachusetts Interlocal Insurance Association (MIIA), the municipality’s insurance provider. Millis earned the credits through proactive and voluntary participation in loss prevention and risk management activities throughout the year, conducted in partnership with MIIA. In fiscal year 2015, which concluded on June 30, MIIA awarded over $2.2 million of premium credits collectively to its membership of the Rewards program resulting in a 13-year total of $24.4 million since the program’s inception. Committed to keeping the community safer and fiscally stronger, Millis implemented loss control and safety measures as well as administrative procedures that reduce the risk of accidents and property damage. In addition, local employees participated in no-cost MIIA training programs, offered to member communities, that promote effective management and safe operations. Millis Town Administra-

tor Charles Aspinwall said the amount credited is a result of hard work by departments to increase their knowledge about attaining a safe work environment. Stanley Corcoran, Executive Vice President of MIIA said, “Since we launched MIIA’s Rewards incentive program in 2002, our members have worked hard to find innovative ways to mitigate risk, prevent workplace injury, and essentially determine, and lower their own insurance costs. We are pleased to return these funds to Millis and look forward to continuing to build upon our partnership through coordinated risk management activities that help

prepare employees, keep residents safe, and save taxpayer dollars.” The Massachusetts Interlocal Insurance Association (MIIA) is the non-profit insurance arm of the Massachusetts Municipal Association. A member-based organization, MIIA’s only focus is to provide excellent service and quality risk management solutions to Massachusetts municipalities and related public entities.

Saint Thomas The Apostle Welcomes New Parish Administrator by Jane

Lebak

On September 1st, Saint Thomas The Apostle Parish welcomed its new Parish Administrator, Father Linus Mendis. Father Linus comes to Saint Thomas after serving seven months at Incarnation parish in Melrose, MA. Father David Goodrow was the previous parish administrator, appointed in early 2012, until he stepped down abruptly in an announcement given during the weekend Masses on August 29th and 30th. Cheryl Cross has served as Office Manager at Saint Thomas for twenty-three years, and she’s dealt with transitions to new pastors twice before. Although change is difficult, she sees the community as a strong one. “We have joined together as a parish community and forged ahead,” she says of previous transitions. “Each priest brings his own style to the parish and the parish has always adapted to the changes that have come our way.” She’s very positive about Father Linus. “He’s a lovely man and a reverent priest and enthused about

his new assignment here at Saint Thomas.” Since Father Linus’s assignment on September 1st, his first impressions of the parish are overwhelmingly positive. “It’s a great parish,” he says. “People are very pleasant, friendly and warmhearted, humble and devout. They are loyal to the priest and very generous to the church.” Although he’s never met Father David, Father Linus has learned a lot about him since his arrival. “I hear he’s a devoted and dedicated man who’s done so much for this parish for the last three years. I am proud and happy that he’s loved by so many in this parish.” Father Linus is similarly taken with the rest of the parish staff, and during the interview mentioned everyone by name, including the housekeeper and the maintenance workers. “We have a wonderful staff to work with here, very dutiful and dedicated people. They have been extending their kind and wholehearted cooperation. I’m really impressed with them.”

me here, I will be here.” He adds with a laugh, “Jesus said to go to the ends of the Earth to preach the good news of the Gospels.” To the ends of the Earth…or even to Millis, a small town with a big heart and a growing parish.

Father Linus Mendis is the new Parish Administrator for St. Thomas the Apostle Parish in Millis.

Father Linus stresses outreach and charity to all people, not just the Catholics of Millis. “Every human being is very precious to God because He created them. He holds all his children so dear to his heart.” And with this in mind, Father Linus stresses his role as a priest is to “to have the servant’s attitude and be at the service of our people, not their masters or bosses. Jesus reached out to everybody, and he had that human touch.” Father Linus emigrated from Sri Lanka and was pleased to become an American citizen. He was incardinated into the Boston Archdiocese in 2014, “the best diocese in the world,” he says. There’s one question Father Linus hears on a regular basis. “How long will I be here?

This summer Father Bill Schmidt of St. Mary’s Parish in Wrentham started a local “Theology on Tap” program, which started out in 1981 in a Catholic church in Chicago as an effort to provide a comfortable setting for young people to meet to discuss matters of faith. “Young people can ask questions and have discussion in a pub or restaurant,” explained Father Schmidt. “I had organized a Theology on Tap program when I served in Stoneham. It’s informal, more comfortable. Some people get a meal, others simply get some appetizers.” Topics are chosen by individual groups that sponsor the summer series. The local Theology on Tap series met in Wrentham at Mr. Dooley’s Olde Irish Pub on Shears Street in Wrentham. Father Schmidt noted that the three sessions drew between 25 and 40 adults each night. “The last night drew an overflow crowd, and older adults wanted to join us. We may put together a program for those who are older. This program is geared to people in their 20’s and 30’s,” Father Schmidt explained. He arranged for the space and lined up topics and speakers. Father Matt Westcott, of St. Mary’s Parish in Foxboro, spoke about “War and Peace.” Father Richard Clancy of Tyngsboro, until recently the Catholic Chaplain at M.I.T., spoke about “Why won’t God go away?” And Msgr. Timothy Moran of Medway provided an overview of Pope Francis’ recent encyclical on the environment. Father Schmidt noted, “We had many regular churchgoers who joined us. Others came who are searching. Many different opinions were expressed, especially the night our topic was “War and Peace,”

but it all remained respectful. Father Matt, from Foxboro, the speaker that night, recently returned from deployment to Iraq with the Marines, and has been a Marine Chaplain. He’s dealt with both sides of the issue.” Father Schmidt continued, “We had a good discussion of the impact of the war on terror and what that means for people of faith.” The program has proved popular enough that people are willing to travel to attend a session. Father Schmidt noted, “People came from as far away as Brighton, Arlington, and the campus ministry program at M.I.T. There are a number of meeting places in the Boston area: Winchester, Brighton, Canton. And there are people who attend the circuit. People are starting to notice.” The meetings were held in August, but the series proved to be so successful Schmidt is planning to continue the series once a month starting in October. No location was confirmed by press time, so call St. Mary’s church office, (508) 384-3373 for details of where and when the next session will take place. Information is also available on the group’s Facebook page—Theology on Tap-Wrentham. War and Peace, faith, responsibility for the environment—these are all issues many of us think about, struggle with, and are deeply concerned about, regardless of our age. TV or the internet tends to steer the discussion for many of us. How much better to provide an opportunity for thoughtful discussion in a relaxed atmosphere with those who are willing to talk, as well as listen. Theology on Tap: not a completely new idea, but new to the area. Here’s hoping there will be many more opportunities for young people to be challenged and take the time to really think about the choices they make every day.

Cat Lover? Volunteers Needed at Purr-Fect Cat Shelter

Pour Richards Event Benefits The Purr-Fect Cat Shelter

Purr-fect Cat Shelter is looking for people who would like to volunteer as cat caregivers. Caregivers are those people who work directly with our cats and kittens. They are responsible for cleaning the rooms and cages, emptying and washing litter boxes, washing and filling water and food dishes and, of course, grooming, playing with and spending time with our cats. Caregivers must be at least 18 years old. We ask that our volunteers sign up for at least 3 shifts a month and that they give us at least a 6-month commitment. There are AM and PM shifts and a shift lasts about 3 hours. Caregivers will go through 3 training sessions with one of our volunteer trainers. During this time you will go over shelter policies and procedures and will be given a chance to see what a shift is like. If you are interested in joining our dedicated group of volunteers, go to our website at www.purrfectcatshelter.org, click on the link for volunteers and download the “cat caregiver” application. Once it is filled out and sent in, our volunteer coordinator will be in touch with you. If you feel that you are unable to give the time that it takes to be a cat caregiver, there are other opportunities to help PCS. These include foster care, working at events such as petwalk, the yard sale and the bake sale, baking for the bake sale, cat transportation, handyman, clerical, or some other talent you might have. If you are interested, go to the website, click on the volunteer link and download the “volunteer” application form. Once we receive it, someone will be in touch. Please consider volunteering. You will not be sorry!

OUR CLIENTS ARE SPEAKING OUT “Robin [Spangenberg] and her Husband Mark act as a team and covered every aspect of the process from recommendations on handymen, negotiations, open houses, market information, renovation suggestions, and provided very helpful cost/benefit advice on getting my house ready for sale. She made it the most painless process we could have hoped for and was tireless in her responsiveness. The stakes were high and I always felt assured that she was acting in our best interest and on a timely basis. They do much more work than meets the eye and we are very happy that we chose them to sell our house.” Mike Depace, Millis
