Millis Softball Program Soars to New Heights by Reaching State Final

By Timothy Davis AMHERST— Millis softball coach RJ Maturo has been dedicated to the sport of softball for 21 years. After a 17-year stint at Milton High School, Millis Athletics Director Charles Grant brought Maturo in to coach the Mohawks for the start of the 2011 season.

Four years later, Maturo has put Millis on the softball map, as the Mohawks reached the Division 3 state final game in Amherst on June 20.

While the Mohawks were narrowly defeated by reigning softball champion Turners Falls, 5-3, as the Indians have won seven state titles over their storied history, Grant summed up the experience by telling the softball team after the game that the girls, “came out of nowhere.”

“Chuck Grant is a great AD,” said Maturo after the Mohawks upset Amesbury in the state semifinals in Taunton on Wednesday June 17. “He stands behind

his coaches, and that’s what you want as a coach— what we went through to get here (championship game) you wouldn’t believe we are here.”

Millis was a lot closer to upsetting Turners Falls than most thought was possible, as the Mohawks held a 2-0 lead going into the fifth inning, and then had the winning run at the plate in the seventh inning with two outs and runners on first and third.

The Mohawks trailed 5-2 heading into the final inning, when Emily Malewicz reached on an error. Kelly Guindon followed with a single, and senior captain Colby Zitoli singled home Malewicz to close the gap to 5-3.

After a strikeout, Emma LaCroix came up and laced a rocket to right field that was stabbed by the Turner Falls outfielder to end the game.

CELEBRATE MEDWAY continued from page 1

The event will feature activities for young and old alike. Popular features coming back this year include the remote control racetrack, a climbing wall and dunk tank, and boating on the pond (boats supplied). There will be also bingo for all ages in the Thayer House, running at various times in the afternoon. This year, weather permitting, there will be hot air balloon rides as well. At 2:30 p.m.,

local 5-piece acoustic root band Lil’ Jed and the Phat Daddies (www.littlejed.com) will perform on the amphitheatre-like hill behind the Thayer Homestead.

Kids will enjoy an array of games and fun things to do, such as pony rides, basketball, badminton and volleyball, face painting, crafts, multiple bouncy houses including one with an obstacle course, a magician and balloon animals and alpacas. The Medway Fire Department will be on hand with some fun firefighter’s foam.

Just like last year, the oldfashioned community event will feature old-fashioned prices on refreshments, and there will even be a watermelon-eating contest at 4 p.m.

Don’t leave after having your refreshment, however. Bring a blanket and some bug spray, and stay to listen to a concert by the Claflin Hill Symphony Orchestra (www.claflinhillsymphony.org) at 7 p.m. Fireworks will follow over the pond once the day gets dark.

Come on down for a fun-filled day!

“That was a great catch in right,” Maturo said afterwards. “If I am going to lose a game, that is the team I want to lose to.”

Millis shocked many earlier in the game by jumping out to an early 2-0 lead, when Abigail Pyenson was clearly hit by a pitch up high on the elbow.

With Pyenson on first, LaCroix followed with a shot off the

Local Town Pages www.millismedwaynews.com left field wall, scoring Pyenson and putting LaCroix on second.

Pitcher Carly Wenzel then laced a single to center to score LaCroix and put Millis up 2-0.

Wenzel, who pitched incredibly well through the entire tournament, had not allowed a hit to the offensive juggernaut from Turners Falls until the fifth inning.

Yet the Indians put all five runs on the board in the fifth, on seven hits including a double and triple that helped seal the game for the 7-time state champs.

Millis pitcher sophomore #17 Carly Wenzel throws a pitch on June 20 in Amherst, as first baseman #18 Alexandria Hill looks on.

It’s hard to believe for many that Millis was able to even reach the state final game, never mind being within only a few feet on LaCroix’s shot in the seventh, from even possibly winning.

The Mohawks barely made the tournament as an 18th seed, with a record just over the minimum for post-season play, at 11-10 overall.

“I told the kids at the start of the season that we can crack sectionals,” Maturo said after his team upset Amesbury (21-3) in the EMass final, with a 9-7 victory.

“That’s our goal this year, be (at least) .500, and crack sectionals, and that’s what we did, and we’ve been hot.”

Millis would go on and win six straight in the tournament to finish the season 17-11 overall, with the Mohawks graduating only two seniors as star pitcher Wenzel returns for two more years.

“It’s just a tremendous boost for the program and the school.

We are very young with two seniors, and to have the young kids watch us — it’s just great for the program,” Maturo said. “We battled to the end and these kids never quit, and that’s pretty much how we played all season long.”

Following the Ninth to Screen at Medway’s Choate Park Film on Beethoven’s Final Symphony Great for Music-Minded Teens & Adults

By J.D. O’Gara 192 years ago, Beethoven wrote a symphony. Not only has this musical piece stood the test of time, but it also has served as an inspirational piece throughout history in different places in the world.

On Sunday, July 12, Following The Ninth: In The Footsteps of Beethoven’s Final Symphony, a documentary directed by Kerry Candaele, which has been screened in over 120 cities across the U.S. and Europe, and has received some high praise

and attention from NPR, “All Things Considered,” Bill Moyers and Co., and from the national press, will be screened right here in Medway, at Choate Park, at sundown. Music lovers from teens to adult can expect to be enlightened and inspired by the film, which will be shown at sundown.

“I heard the NPR interview on “All Things Considered” well over a year ago, and then after hearing it I looked up the trailer (www.followingtheninth.com),” says Paul Mahoney, recently elected to the

Medway Parks Commission. Mahoney was so moved by the NPR show and trailer, that he traveled to Harvard, Mass. to see a screening of the film.

‘Rarely do you go and see something with that much anticipation and come away thinking not only was it well worth it, but it was extraordinary,” says Mahoney, who says he was “floored” by the film, so much that he strove to bring the film and its director, here to Medway.

“To see the ways it’s used and viewed by diverse cultures across the world and how it means so much to each one of them, but in a different way, and particularly in times of strife,” says Mahoney. “I just wanted to share it with other people.”

Following The Ninth is about how freedom movements--in China at Tienanmen in 1989, at the Berlin Wall in the same year, women under Pinochet’s Chile, and in Japan after the Tsunami--used Beethoven’s Ninth as both battle cry of liberation and a source of strength during dark times.

“I’ve presented a Tedx talk at Purdue University, where 600 people attended, and screened the film at several other colleges and universities, including Emory University, the University of Texas (Edinburg), San Jose State, East Carolina University, Rivier University, and the Cranbrook School. Those in the audience who remember these events have found a new way to view this history and conflict through the ve-

Following The Ninth: In The Footsteps of Beethoven’s Final Symphony, a documentary directed by Kerry Candaele, which has been screened in over 120 cities across the U.S. and Europe, will come to Medway’s Choate Pond on July 12. The film screening will be followed by a Q&A with the director.

hicle of music, and the young are surprised and awed by the first discovery of the Ninth’s power to inspire, to heal, and to repair,” writes Kerry Candaele, director of the film.

“Medway Cable Access is funding the whole thing,” says Mahoney, who points out that this film is separate from other activities taking place at Choate Pond, Thayer Homestead this year. While many of the other events are geared toward families with small children, this event, he says, is something adults and teens might enjoy.

“It has adult themes, and it’s also very intense,” says Mahoney, who says that when he saw the film at the library in Harvard, “you could literally hear a pin drop through most of the movie.”

It’s a film that provokes reflection, not conducive to the youngest population.

Following the film, attendees will have the chance to ask questions of Kerry Candaele.

“It’s not just a movie in the park. I’m also bringing the director for a meet and greet at the Thayer House,” says Mahoney, who says this type of event is a departure for him, where his background is Medway Lacrosse and sports organizations. Mahoney says he grew up in Worcester, however, where he would attend such cultural events at local parks.

“I’d like to see things of this nature geared toward adults. There’s a whole audience out there for movies and something cultural,” he says.

The film is 80 minutes long.

“The big thing is, the film is going to be free. If you’re home that weekend, you can’t beat the price,” says Mahoney.

“The film is not just about Beethoven, but focuses on the deepest core of our commune humanity that Beethoven explored,” writes Candaele.

NO SURGERY for This New England Fat Loss Client Through many appointments, 53 year-old Tracey Romanelli received advice from her doctor to lose weight. When he suggested gastric bypass, it took her a year to even consider the option. Relenting, she attending a seminar to

learn more about the process.

“It really turned me off,” Romanelli said. “It’s not a cure all. I heard from friends that there are complications, and they eventually gained the weight back and then some.”

The Bellingham resident remembered she had clipped some New England Fat Loss (NEFL) ads and testimonials. She contacted NEFL and scheduled a complimentary consultation.

change in her eating habits, which Romanelli admitted was difficult at first. However, she soon reaped the rewards with significant weight loss.

“I finally came to the point that I was ready to do something,” Romanelli said. “It was very hard at first, as I got used to it. However, the weight and the inches came off. I am so glad I did it.”

In less than two months, Romanelli dropped 35 pounds and is now in Phase Two of the New England Fat Loss program. During this stage, her menu choices have expanded, but she continues to adhere to healthier eating habits.

“I’ve been trying to lose weight since I had my daughter 18 years ago, so this is a whole new different lifestyle,” Romanelli said. “I’m ok with that, however, because I feel so good.”

In addition to following the NEFL food guidelines, Romanelli also credits her success to the exceptional encouragement of the program’s staff.

“I texted Dr. John every day, and if I was on a plateau, he would give me advice and the next day I would lose a pound,” Romanelli said. “In fact, everyone I have met has been incredibly supportive. It is a big plus having a support system.”

Romanelli has personally committed to a year with the NEFL program and looks forward to shedding even more pounds. Each day she is one step closer to her personal goal, but bigger changes are in store for her future.

“The rest of my life is going to be like this,” Romanelli proudly stated. “I’m not going back to the way I was and the way I ate. Now I eat healthy and I feel so much better.”

Start your path to a new healthy lifestyle! New England Fat Loss offers two convenient locations: 22 South Street, Suite 204, Hopkinton and 188 Needham Street, Suite 255, Newton.

Project Just Because “Christmas in July” Fundraiser July 23 Event, Featuring Country Music, Raffles, to Be at Holliston’s Upper Town Hall

By J.D. O’Gara Fifteen years ago, Cherylann Lambert Walsh wanted to teach her kids to give back. The Holliston native and Hopkinton resident took her children into Boston to hand out winter jackets to people who needed them. Then, says Karen Regan, who is now Operations Manager of Project Just Because in Hopkinton, Lambert became aware that there were

people right in her town of Hopkinton who needed coats, so she started working to collect and provide them.

“She became known as ‘the Mom in her basement,’” says Regan, of the effort that that grew from one basement to neighbors’ basements and eventually to its current home, a large warehouse at 86 South Street in Hopkinton.

cause.org) is now an organization that supports communities statewide with 20 programs, including holiday gifts for 15,000 children, back to school programs, clothing programs, programs for seniors, maternity and cancer patients, birthday programs for children in need and a food pantry for Hopkinton residents.

“People come from all over the state, even western Mass.,” says Regan, explaining Project Just Because even helped tornado victims from Brimfield, Mass. “A lot of people think we’re synonymous with holidays, but we help in cases of fire, violence, domestic abuse.

We have a house wares department and can give blankets, bedding. We have met families that come with nothing but the clothes on their back. The need keeps growing.”

Regan says “97%” of Project Just Because is run by volunteers.

“It’s grandparents, it’s Moms whose kids have gone off to school, it’s teens every day from 2:30-4 after school. Large companies

Shown are some of the volunteers who make Project Just Because an organization able to serve people in need from all over the state. These themed baskets will be auctioned off at “Christmas in July,” a fundraiser, with live country music, food and drink, to be held from 7-10 p.m. at Holliston’s Upper Town Hall on July 23.

come here and do team building days. We’d be nowhere without them,” says Regan.

The group doesn’t do a lot of outreach, but Regan says people in need find them, directed by social workers, churches, and even others whom the organization has helped.

Although the warehouse is packed with many community in-kind donations, Project Just Because, a 501 C3 charity, “doesn’t

get the space for free,” says Regan.

“We have to come up with this large storage area in Hopkinton, a dumpster, money for utility bills,” she adds. When the organization lost funding from the state three years ago, Regan came up with the idea of holding a creative fundraiser.

The first “Christmas in July,” with the goal of not spending a penny, took place right in the three big rooms of the Project Just Because warehouse. The event, says Regan, was a tremendous undertaking, considering thousands of plastic totes had to be temporarily moved out to make room.

“The first year, we had 37 auction items, which made $13,000,” says Regan, who says the food, beer and wine are donated, as is the live entertainment. Thanks to more of a head start on the second fundraiser, the next year the event drew about 200 people and 100 auction items, making $37,000, and last year, the event grew to 137 auction items and 220 people. It made $43,000 for the organization.

This year, Project Just Because’s

Local Town Pages www.millismedwaynews.com “Christmas in July” fundraiser will take place on Thursday, July 23, from 7-10 p.m. at Holliston’s Upper Town Hall, 703 Washington Street, Holliston. Tickets are $35 ahead of time and $40 at the door.

“We have high hopes this year, and we’re very happy to have it at another location, which takes the stress off of moving these bins,” says Regan, herself a Holliston resident This year’s event will not only feature again feature live country music, but its guests will also be able to bid on about 150 live and silent auction items, including themed baskets, such as “Dad’s Day Off,” “Night at the Movies,” “Dress Up,” “I Love My Dog,” and a “Camping Basket.” The live auction will feature such hot ticket items as a weekend in Martha’s Vineyard, signed sports memorabilia, Wachusett Mountain ski tickets, tickets to a Rachel Ray

show taping in New York City and a party for 25 people at Jillian’s in Worcester, a Keurig coffeemaker and jewelry.

Need a vacation or love sports?

Two large raffles, with great odds, will also be drawn at the event.

“A friend has given us a week at their beautiful home in St. John, a house valued at $3,700 a week, and we have a Boston Sports Raffle, in which one winner will have two premium choice game tickets for each of the four Boston sports teams. The Bruins seats are Patrice Bergeron’s family seats, and the Celtics ones are four rows behind the Celtics’ bench,” says Regan. For each of those raffles, only 250 tickets will be sold for $50 each.

To purchase raffle tickets for either or both of these two big raffles, contact Karen Regan at (508) 435-6511 or email pjboffice@ comcast.net. Regan says to hurry, as tickets are “going fast.”

Project Just Because runs 20 programs for people in need, from holiday gifts for children to housewares for those who’ve lost everything and even a food pantry for local residents. Donated items are organized in mountains of plastic totes.

Millis Girls Softball League Hosts Hometown Heroes Benefit Game

By J.D. O’Gara The Millis Girls Softball League held a “Hometown Heroes” Benefit Softball Game as a way to give back to the town of Millis after their first season as its own entity on June 13, 2015. The event was a softball game that put Millis Public Schools up against Millis Emergency Responders.

Millis Town Administrators officiated the game. The Charles River Children’s Chorale, led by Lelia Viana, sang the National Anthem.

The formation of a separate Girls’ softball league in Millis was

a smooth transition this year. “(Softball leaders) were doing what they thought was right, and doing it so gracefully,” says Sukhmani Kaur, parent volunteer for the group. “They were so positive about it, and they really kept the benefits to softball in focus, not focusing on weakness but building their strength.”

In the end, the Millis Public Schools came out the winner of the game, although both the Millis Recreation Department and Millis schoolteacher Miss Eaton’s GoFundMe campaign also won, receiving portions of the proceeds

of the game at $225 each.

“There was a lot of effort when planning the event to tap into all corners of Millis, so there were lots of different people from various organizations and departments,” says MGSL Fundraising Director Erin LeBlanc. “Our goal was truly to turn it into more of a community event and have a moment where our program could give back to the community as far as a monetary donation”

Now, 71 girls from age 4 to 6th grade are involved in the program, up from 65 last year, says MGSL President Bridget Murray. Teams include one fundamentals team, of 4 and 5 year-olds, three AA teams, which are 1st and second graders, two AAA teams of third and fourth graders and one very large majors team of 5th and 6th graders. Younger girls have also gotten support and mentoring from older softball players, say

LeBlanc and Murray.

Overall, says LeBlanc, the transition to solely softball has gone well for the organization, says LeBlanc. “The way I measure a successful season is I look at how each player has grown from the beginning of the season to the end of the season, and also

a measurement is how much fun did they have, are they looking like they’re enjoying themselves.” LeBlanc says that the girls she coaches “can see their progress happening because of their own hard work, which is such an important attribute not just within the softball field but within the classroom, in friendships, and it’s what I feel is such a positive thing about youth sports.”

“The hopes were that we were able to give girls a program they could be proud of,” says Murray, who feels as if youth female sports didn’t always get the “attention

it deserved. Our purpose was to bring them out of the shadow.

Every important thing we did, they noticed – when we raked the field, got new bases, a new scoreboard, they really noticed, and I think that really made them feel they’re finally important enough.”

LeBlanc adds that the players were so impressed with tip top shape the field was in at the beginning of the season, that when midseason came along, “our kids were grabbing the dragger and taking care of (the field) themselves. It was a very cool moment for me, because they cared about where they were playing.”

Murray says the girls in the program this year grew “a pride within themselves. I think we were

trying to encompass pride in yourself, pride in your family, pride in your community,” she says.

LeBlanc says the Millis Girls Softball League is “very fortunate to be fully staffed with very enthusiastic and very knowledgeable people.

“That positive enthusiasm is very catchy. As a coach, all little eyes are on you all the time. What you bring to the field is what the kids take away from it. That has a lot to do with why this season has been so positive. Phenomenal coaches have presented to these children.”

Snow that had accumulated on top of the roof and back porch crushed the porch.

On Saturday, June 13, however, volunteers from the Millis Lions Club, along with some trained builders, worked together to rebuild the porch for the Legionnaires. Here are a few scenes from the day.

LIVING HEALTHY The Sun, UV Radiation and Your Eyes

By Roger M. Kaldawy, M.D., Milford Franklin Eye Center Here are some interesting facts about Ultraviolet (UV) light and our eyes:

Exposure to UV light raises the risks of eye diseases.

When we’re out in the sun without protection, we increase our risks for cataracts, growths on the eye, and cancer. Growths on the eye, such as pterygium, can show up in our teens or twenties, especially in surfers, skiers, fishermen, farmers, or anyone who spends long hours under the midday sun or in the UV-intense conditions found near rivers, oceans, and mountains. Diseases like cataract and eye cancers can take many years to develop, but each time we’re out in the sun without protection we could be adding damage that adds to our risks for these serious disorders. Babies and kids need to wear hats and sunglasses for this very reason. People of all ages should take precautions whenever they are outdoors. Use only glasses that block both UV-A and UV-B rays and that are labeled either UV400 or 100% UV protection. Choose wraparound styles, so that the sun’s rays can’t enter from the side. If you wear UV-blocking contact lenses, you’ll still need sunglasses. Don’t be fooled by clouds: the sun’s rays can pass through haze and thin clouds. Never look directly at the

sun. Don’t forget the kids and older family members: everyone is at risk.

UV Light: Good in moderation for a good night’s sleep.

Some research suggests that light-sensitive cells in the eye are important to our ability to regulate wake-sleep cycles. This may be more critical as we age, when more people have problems with insomnia. While it’s important that we protect our eyes from overexposure to UV light, our eyes also need minimal exposure to natural light every day to help maintain normal sleep-wake cycles.

Time outdoors may prevent nearsightedness in kids Research shows that children who spend more time outside exposed to daylight may reduce their risk of developing nearsightedness. So not only is exercise great for eye health, but now it seem that getting that exercise while outside may be additionally beneficial.

Indoor tanning can damage your eyes just like the sun Eleven different U.S. medical organizations have joined together to raise awareness of the dangers of indoor tanning, citing rising skin cancer rates, particularly among young women who are more likely to use indoor tanning

beds. In addition to causing skin cancer, tanning beds — like prolonged sun exposure — can lead to serious eye damage.

Looking at a solar eclipse is a threat to your eyes.

Looking directly at a solar eclipse is as dangerous as staring at the unblocked sun and can cause damage to the retina, the lightsensitive nerve layer at the back of the eye. Everyone of any age and any degree of skin pigmentation is susceptible to UV damage. Children are particularly susceptible to UV damage.

People with light colored eyes may have an increased risk of certain eye diseases.

Skin cancer, rare eye cancers, such as melanoma of the iris and macular degeneration are more prevalent if you have light colored eyes. UV protection becomes even more important.

People who take photosensitizing drugs can make your eyes more sensitive to light.

You should discuss precautions with your ophthalmologist if you are taking photosensitizing drugs.

Wear UV-absorbent sunglasses and a hat whenever you go outside for as long as you take them. Some

of those drugs include: Antibiotics containing fluoroquinolones and tetracycline (including doxycycline and Cipro), certain birth control and estrogen pills and some antiinflammatory pain relievers like ibuprofen and naproxen (though the reaction is rare).

Recommended Types of Sunglasses Often the labels on sunglasses promise protection from ultraviolet light and other kinds of natural radiation. It is important to know what kind of light you need to protect your eyes from and what type of light is not necessarily harmful.

We offer daily care for people with dementia and Alzheimer’s Disease. We accept insurance.

• Blocks 99 percent of ultraviolet rays: You should always buy sunglasses with this feature. UVB radiation is considered more dangerous to the eyes and skin than UVA radiation.

• Impact resistant: All sunglasses must meet impact standards set by the Federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for safety. No lens is truly unbreakable, but plastic lenses are less likely than glass lenses to shatter when hit by a ball or stone.

• Polarized: Polarized lenses cut reflected glare — sunlight that bounces off smooth surfaces like pavement, car windows, chromed surfaces or water. They can be particularly useful for driving and fishing.

• Lens darkness: A medium lens is good for day-to-day wear, but if you use the glasses for very bright conditions, choose a darker lens.

• Photochromic: A photochromic glasses lens automatically darkens in bright light and becomes lighter in low light. Most of the darkening takes place in about half a

minute, while the lightening takes about five minutes.

• Wraparound style: Wraparound glasses are shaped to keep light from shining around the frames and into your eyes. Studies have shown that enough UV rays enter around ordinary eyeglass frames to reduce the benefits of protective lenses.

Large-framed wraparound sunglasses can protect your eyes from all angles.

At Milford Franklin Eye Center, we use advanced technology to treat a variety of eye problems, including sun related eye diseases.

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. That’s why we have state-of-the-art optical shops with dedicated opticians ready to help in selecting good sun glasses.

With the availability of this service, our practice offers world class eye care closer to home.

LIVING HEALTHY As human beings most of us are inherently social, we gravitate to one another for comfort, companionship, laughter, security and love. So why is it as people age they become more reclusive? Why do so many elderly people stay in their apartments, shades down, blinds drawn and only go out to get the necessities, if they go out at all?

That is a question that has many possible answers. Sometimes the bad weather or cold keep elders in. Another possibility is simple finances, they are on limited incomes and don’t have money for ‘extras’ even gas to go visit friends. Another theory is that that as they age, the losses they experience make some people uncomfortable going out, they feel less sure of their ability to judge distance due to vision changes. Often as we age some people loose depth perception or peripheral vision making it harder to navigate new spaces.

As we get older our tissue loosens up, we slow down, maybe become a little more forgetful. If there is some forgetfulness or beginning stages of dementia the easiest way to mask that or prevent embarrassing oneself is to stick to what is well known,

familiar or routine.

But is staying shut in the house all day, all night, day in and day out really a good way to live? Is it really helping? For most, the simple answer is no. The days blend together, lacking definition which often leads to more forgetfulness. If you have taken a vacation where, after a few days, you have to stop and think about what day it is now imagine magnifying that by literally years sometimes as many as 15 or 20 years of retirement where one day is not too different from the last. Granted a new retiree often has many different activities happening, volunteering, going to a senior center etc. but as time goes on these activities typically diminish leading to days that are hard to tell one from another.

So what do you do? Does an elder who is staying home more and more need to “be placed” or moved to an assisted living? Absolutely not. Most towns have wonderful resources in their towns at the local senior center.

These often provide a mid day meal for just a few dollars, they provide stimulating activities and exercise classes and often provide scheduled transportation to area destinations

like shopping, museums and sometimes appointments. This can be a vital difference for an isolated elder or any adult who, for various reasons may be unable to get out on his or her own. For the individuals who may not be as independent, there are day centers or adult day care centers, often covered by insurance, that provide transportation, hot, nutritious meals and often have a nurse on site for care or well being oversight even medication management. These centers are committed to providing important socialization, stimulating activities and even exercise classes. Study after study has proven the positive effects of feeling good, staying active and regular exercise which can also decrease depression, slow down the progression of dementia symptoms and many other health issues.

Your local adult day care center is Hopkinton Health Center located at 25 South St. F, Hopkinton and open Monday-Friday; 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and may be covered by some insurance benefits for more information please call (508) 497-2300 or visit www.hopkintonhealthcenter.com.

Positive Changes In Pearl’s Decade As Medway’s A.D.

By KEN HAMWEY Rob Pearl has been on the job as Medway High’s athletic director for 10 years and to say there’s been some changes in his first decade would be an understatement.

Since the 55-year-old Pearl took the reins in 2005, the Mustangs have added seven new sports at the high school and seven others at the middle school. The student participation rate for grades 9-12 has reached 60%, up from 10 years ago, and there now are three artificial turf fields, an increase of two since Pearl joined the Medway staff. User fees, which increased five years ago, have held steady since 2010.

“My first 10 years have been enjoyable,” Pearl said. “We’ve had some high points with many of our teams experiencing success. There’s no doubt that the coaching staff we’ve got makes my job easier. If there have been any disappointments, it’s that we haven’t won a state championship in the last decade. We came close

in 2012 when our boys ice hockey team lost, 3-1, in the state final to Marshfield.”

Currently, Medway High offers 28 varsity sports, 23 at the junior varsity level and five for freshmen.

New sports added since Pearl’s arrival include girls ice hockey, swimming, gymnastics, Alpine skiing, boys and girls cross-country and ultimate Frisbee, which is a club sport. New sports at the middle school include boys and girls crosscountry, field hockey, volleyball, boys and girls track and golf.

Three of the sports Medway High has added are co-op ventures with other schools. The girls ice hockey team also involves Millis, Ashland and Holliston; the swimming team is a co-op program with Holliston; and the gymnastics squad is a co-op with Millis.

“I’m pleased that our participation numbers have increased,” Pearl said. “We had 798 students enrolled for the year just completed and 479 participated in athletics. And, it’s great that we’ve

got so many offerings for students.

We focused on adding more sports during the winter season a few years ago. When a new program gets under way, it has to be funded outside the school budget for three years. The relatively new offerings have satisfied a variety of athletic appetites. Before, students were competing in club sports, but now we’ve got opportunities targeted to a certain population.”

For the 2014-15 school year, Medway had nine teams qualify for tourney play. Teams that have traditionally been tourney-bound are boys and girls soccer, boys and girls ice hockey, field hockey and baseball.

As happy as Pearl is about tourney-bound teams, he’s just as pleased that user fees have remained constant. “I’m glad there have been no increases for five years,” he said. “I would like to decrease them, but for now they’ve stayed the same.”

Most fees are $235 for a season. The exceptions are boys ice hockey ((435), gymnastics ($400), and girls ice hockey ($1,500).

“The girls hockey program is self-funded,” Pearl noted. “The booster club pays all expenses and much of that is for ice time. The total cost for the girls ice hockey program is $35,000.”

A Bridgewater State graduate, Pearl, who plans to continue as the school’s A.D. for at least three more years, says the addition of

After 10 years on the job, Medway AD Rob Pearl has seen the addition of seven new sports both at the middle and high school levels, three new athletic fields and an increase in student participation.

two artificial turf fields is “like a dream come true.” The comments have been positive, for the most part, and he’s glad no Proposition 2 1/2 override or debt exclusion was needed to pay for the fields.

The new fields are being paid for by tax dollars from the Community Preservation Fund, which allows the Town of Medway to buy land or develop fields.

“The two-year project is just about complete,” Pearl said.

“Landscaping and lights are finished and security cameras will wrap up the field work. We’ve refurbished the track at Hanlon Field and added new carpet.

Football, soccer, field hockey and lacrosse can be played there. The new softball turf field can also entertain lacrosse and soccer and the third field is a practice facility for baseball but it can be used for

football, lacrosse, soccer and field hockey.”

Medway’s softball field hosted 10 teams for opening day because of the poor condition of other teams’ fields after a brutal winter.

The school can now easily conduct a multi-team event, like a football jamboree.

“I’d say athletics are blossoming at Medway, and the situation is healthy,” said Pearl, who coached and taught at Milford High for 20 years before arriving in Medway.

“Our programs satisfy different tastes and we’re competitive.”

New sports and new fields translate to new opportunities and added participation. And, with user fees remaining constant, it brings a genuine smile to Pearl’s face, after his first decade on the job.

Millis Volleyball – Small Team Gaining Strength by

Christopher Tremblay

The Millis boy’s volleyball team found themselves atop the mountain after capturing a state championship some eleven years ago, and while the athletes themselves thought they could continue to play at a high level, others were not so sure.

“I took over 8 years ago after the previous coach left saying there were no more good players left in Millis and it was a losing program,” Mohawk Coach Jay Guinan said. “I have a habit of making the most out of my players, and right from the start we were solid out of the gate.

We would have stayed strong but being a small school, losing one athlete can hurt and when the center we were going to count on left for Xaverian.”

Since that time Millis has been a rather successful volleyball team under Guinan and even challenged for the Central State Finals last spring losing to Xaverian after a two year hiatus from the tournament. Following last year’s run through the State Tournament Millis said goodbye to 6 seniors and found that this season would have only two returning athletes in captains Dan Ryder (senior setter) and Matt McCarthy (junior right attack) coming back.

With only two experienced athletes Guinan still envisioned this year’s squad playing well enough to once again make the Central State Tournament.

“I put a lot of pressure on these two, and not being a teacher in the Millis school system, I don’t get to see the kids on the team other than practice and games,” the Coach said. “Playing in the Western Alliance League we face some elite teams throughout the season, and if we want to stay relevant I needed them to stay active (playing volleyball).”

As Ryder and McCarthy, who leads the team in kills with 289, looked to bring Coach Guinan’s philosophy’s to fruition a group of sophomores stepped up their game this spring in a major way playing like beasts on the court.

The 5 sophomores who played like seniors for Millis this spring were middle hitters Caio Almeida and Merrill Cushman; outside

hitters Carter Burruss and Adam Caretta and Bo Calais, the team’s libero or defensive specialist. All five grew considerably and became stronger during the off season with Burruss and Caretta having a 30 plus inch vertical leap.

“I’ve known these kids since they been in the seventh grade.

They were a solid JV team under Coach Chris DiMilla, who was a senior in Millis when I first arrived here,” Guinan said. “He’s been the JV coach for four years now and the kids have grown up in the system.”

In addition to Guinan not realizing that the sophomore’s would become the players they did this year, he wasn’t sure how the team would react to not having all that many practices due to the treacherous New England winter.

“We only got to practice for four one hour sessions while sharing the gym with every other sport in the school and then we went right into the season with nine straight matches,” the coach said.

“Although only four practices, I knew what we had, but the kids were not buying it. I knew what I was doing and told them we were going to have one heck of a season.”

While the Coach was optimistic the team still wasn’t buying it until they destroyed Medfield in the opening match. Millis finished 13-4 on the season losing only to St John’s and Milford twice each while grabbing second place in the league.

In addition to the phenomenal season the Mohawks were having this spring; Coach Guinan also notched his 100th victory at Millis on the volleyball courts. As they entered the tournament looking to looking to get back into the Cen-

tral State Finals and hopefully win it all the Mohawks found themselves getting off to a great start.

Through the first two tournament series Millis played near perfect volleyball in dispatching both University Park and Leominster 3-0, but unfortunately fell one round short in returning to the finals as Framingham upset the Mohawks 3-1 in the Semi-Finals to end their season.

Despite falling short of their goal, Guinan and the Mohawks should be once again primed to make a run at the championship

next year as a good amount of his core players will be back next spring. While they did not get back to the top of the mountain,

one can clearly say Millis boy’s volleyball is back and primed on continuing a winning tradition for years to come.
