Basketball Returns To Millis Thanks To A Dunkin’ Donor By Jane Lebak Decades ago, one Millis institution produced nine high school varsity coaches, one college varsity coach, two high school athletic directors, one professional golfer, and two Catholic priests. It fell by the wayside, but thanks to one generous donor, it’s on its way back. You’ve passed it multiple times if you drive through Millis. At the corner of Plain Street,
Exchange Street, and Curve Street, across from Tedeschi’s and tucked behind the Saint Thomas Rectory, sits an unassuming basketball court. And that one location nurtured leadership, friendship, and a spirit of competition for a generation of Millis youth. The basketball court had fallen into disrepair over the years, but now thanks to an anonymous parishioner of
Saint Thomas Parish, it’s being restored. “This court had a long history,” says the donor, who stresses the desire for anonymity (although you could call him the Dunkin’ Donor). “There was great fun, healthy competition, and really, fellowship, at the rectory basketball court for many years.” The property is owned by Saint Thomas Parish, and for many years the court was known to Millis youth simply as “the Rectory.” Nowadays, the local kids refer to it by a different name. “I overheard a Millis high school student at a basketball game this winter reference a place he called ‘the ghetto court,’” says the anonymous donor. On further questioning, it turned out the student didn’t even know the rectory was there. That’s when the donor decided to take action. “I agreed it needed some

TLC. It needed a good cleanup, with overgrown weeds and a cracked surface. The fence needed to be replaced. It needed new baskets, and we’re resurfacing the court itself.” Father David Goodrow, at Saint Thomas, agreed with the donor that the restoration would have a positive effect on the Millis community. “It might not seem like a big deal,” says Goodrow, “but there is a lot of history to many people who played at the court who are now adults.” This history spills right into the

present. The donor says, “I wrote down forty names of kids in the community who’d played at the court at a regular basis. The first two guys on the list are now Catholic priests.” The list is quite impressive. • 38 of the 40 were captains of one or more varsity sports in Millis High School. • 19 of the 40 played a varsity sport in college. • 9 of the 40 currently are high school varsity coaches. • One is a college coach, coaching varsity baseball. • Two are high school athletic directors. • One is a professional golfer.

• 5 attended college on a full athletic scholarship and one went to the US Naval Academy. Pointing to all the productive, motivated citizens who emerged from this one humble basketball court, the donor says, “Can you draw a direct line from playing basketball at the rectory and being accepted at the US Naval Academy? I think not, but there were a lot of good lessons that we all learned competing at the Rectory basketball court that we could transfer later on in life. Things like relationship building, competitiveness, stick-to-itiveness, perseverance. And anyone who played there on a regular basis would attest to this: it got very competitive.” The donor’s family took care of most of the cleanup. Resurfacing work was done by New England Sealcoating, and the basketball hoops? They’re being installed by someone with his own personal ties to Millis: Eric Elofson of Mr. Hoop. That’s right: one of the longtime players at the Rectory basketball court became a profes-

the University of New Hampshire on a full football scholarship. He’d previously installed a hoop for the donor’s family, and because of his connection to the Rectory court, he was the obvious person to call for the work. Even those who didn’t go on to play sports for a living had fond memories of the Rectory court. The donor gives as an example a Millis resident who wanted to do three things to have a “perfect day” before his wedding. He wanted to play golf on his favorite course, to play a game of basketball at the Rectory, and
Publisher Chuck Tashjian
to have a beer at his favorite Irish pub. Then he’d get married at six in the evening. “He never got to the Irish pub,” laughed the donor. “In the game of one-on-one, he opened up his forehead and required 9 stitches!” But the groom didn’t mind: basketball was on his perfect day, and he still got married at six. The donor’s vision is simple: “It would be nice to once again have the kids in the community have a place they can go to experience the same thing. I want to see the Rectory basketball court crowded with players developing

A note to our Millis neighbors Needham Bank is so pleased to become the newest bank in the Millis community, soon to be opening at 857 Main Street. We wanted to take the this opportunity to tell you about ourselves as we prepare to open our doors next month. We’re a community bank. Because we’re not publicly traded, our full commitment is to you and not to Wall Street. Our customers are our “shareholders.” We exist for them, which is why we’re fee averse. We don’t rely on fee income or hidden charges. You won’t find any of the difficult to read type at the bottom of our ads because there isn’t any. No asterisks, no bait and switch. Millis is our eighth branch. We also have offices in Westwood, Medfield, Ashland, Dedham, Wellesley, Needham, and Dover. We are inextricably linked with the communities we serve, supporting nearly 300 different community organizations. Some are really quite small and many are unglamorous, but what they each have in common is the commitment we share to make the community the best possible place to work and live. We are proud to provide what we believe to be unmatched expertise in personal banking, business banking, residential lending, small business lending, and commercial real estate. Many have told us that we are the combination of the latest in banking technology fused with an unrelenting commitment to each and every customer. We offer a robust online banking platform, mobile banking apps including check deposit over your phone, and remote deposit capture for businesses too busy to come to the bank. Our flagship product is NB Checking, which is free, pays interest, and features global ATM fee reimbursement. That means our NB Checking customers can use any ATM anywhere in the world and whatever that bank charges for using their machine, we automatically reimburse. This may seem like a small matter, but we believe our customers shouldn’t have to pay to access their own money. We know that people don’t switch banks every day and that we’ll have to earn your confidence. We welcome that challenge. I have spent much of my career serving the Metrowest community and look forward to meeting you. We hope that you’ll stop by so we can introduce you to Needham Bank. Thank you for your consideration. And thank you for your warm welcome.

WEEI Producer Has Last Laugh with Weight Loss Radio listeners hear it all the time. Innovative bits and ribbing between the anchors and their producers. For one producer on the Dennis Callahan Morning Show, 93.7 WEEI FM, that perpetual joking turned into a lifechanging event. Craig Sawisch
and a fellow producer were often teased on air about their weight and the subject of New England Fat Loss (NEFL), a program advertiser, was raised. More for the sake of the show, and definitely skeptical on the program, Sawisch visited
the NEFL office just after Memorial Day for a consultation. To his surprise, his preliminary apprehension was gone in a week when he quickly dropped ten pounds. Intrigued and encouraged, he continued on and completed the 40-day, Phase 1

portion of the program. “I can’t deny the results,” Sawisch said. “My high point after the 40 days was a weight loss of 47 pounds.” Today, the 25 year-old is committed to the maintenance phase of the program and is no longer the butt of on-air weight jokes. Since he began, he has shed an impressive 57 pounds! In his words, ‘they [NEFL] have proved him wrong.’ Even throughout a summer filled with tempting foods and drink, adhering to his personally tailored meal plan demonstrates that not only does the plan work, but clients receive valuable information to achieve a healthy lifestyle. “The diet doesn’t keep me from living,” Sawisch said. “It prevents you from falling into bad habits.” Sawisch admits Phase 1 was challenging, but worth the effort. He also not only credits his success to his personal commitment, but to the daily support and menu tips
from Dr. John and the NEFL staff. Most importantly, this experience has taught him to make better choices. He now opts for kale or lettuce over his favorite green bean vegetable and even learned which types of alcohol work better for his metabolism. Sawisch still undergoes his daily ribbing from the morning show staff, but now the topics have changed. “I have a noticeable weight loss, and they definitely don’t tease me as much about my weight, but anything goes,” Sawisch said. “They tease us about everything. It’s just one less thing.” Whether public or private, start a weight loss journey today by visiting one of New England Fat Loss’ two convenient locations: 22 South Street, Suite 204, Hopkinton and 188 Needham Street, Suite 255, Newton.

sell food, and many of the people from the church would sell pies. Nowadays, however, the event isn’t a fundraising event for the women’s ministry, as it was in the past, says Manske. “In recent years, we’ve changed our viewpoint. Everything we do is free, a barbecue, lots of music, entertainment brought in, a bouncy house, there’s no reason to bring any money whatsoever,” says Manske. “The reason we changed it is the gift of God is free to everyone. There’s no charge, and we’re trying to reflect that in the community.” Manske adds that the same sentiment is felt by the church planners with their Christmastime services. The idea, he says, is so that the community “can experience church and experience God, and it’s free.” The free fun festival will be packed with food and activities for the entire family including a kids’ petting zoo by Farm Visits, from Rehoboth, a bouncy house, a family photo booth by Lisa Sheehan Photography, youth sports activities, as well as barbershop harmonies. At noon, enjoy a burger or

They rehearse in the Medway Community Church hall every week, and as a thank you, they perform each year at the Harvest Festival. At 1 p.m., after lunch, take some time to relax by listening to the musical selections of the MCC Praise Band. Run by Robin Fox, the musical director of the Medway Community Church, the MCC Praise Band leads the worship on Sunday mornings. “The Praise Band at our church does a lot of different styles,” says Manske. “Certainly Contemporary Christian, but at any time you can find people playing trumpet sax, banjo, and flute, although there’s always drums and guitar and keyboards. I would say the style of music is a combination of contemporary and traditional. You certainly could hear folk music on any given Sunday, just as you could jazz.” Manske stresses that Medway Community Church Harvest Festival is for all of the community, not just the members of the Medway Community Church, which number anywhere be-
tween 300 and 320 worshippers on a given Sunday. “The congregation, as a whole, in the last 4-5 years has gotten much younger than it was, with a steady influx of young families,” says Manske. The church also reaches out to the community every Tuesday evening, with its “Community Table.” “Basically every Tuesday evening there’s a free dinner offered to anyone who cares to come. That’s been going 5 or 6 years now, and up 50 weeks, maybe 52 weeks out of the year,” says Manske. “Overall,” says Manske, of the church community, “we always have plenty of food and plenty of fun.”

Exsultet! Still Seeks a Few Great Sopranos Auditions to be Held September 14 By J.D. O’Gara Exsultet!, a chamber choir of 12 singers, aspires to be the premier women’s ensemble of the Metrowest area. It will hold open auditions this month on September 14, from 7 – 9 p.m. at the First Congregational Church of Holliston, 725 Washington Street, Holliston. Entering its third season, it seeks vocally experienced singers who have an aptitude and the skill level to learn musically challenging pieces. “They must be able to learn their music on their own before rehearsal,” says Richard Larraga, artistic director. “Typical for the average community group is that you learn the notes in rehearsal. We’re expecting them to learn the notes before rehearsal. We’re looking for women who want a musical challenge.” Although Exsultet! has residence in a church, the group is not otherwise affiliated with
any church or church group. In fact, singers come from a variety of faiths and backgrounds. “We are not a church choir. We do perform a mixture of sacred and secular music of many different centuries and styles,” says Larraga. “We are musically flexible, eclectic and diverse.” In addition, Exsultet!’s performances fuse dramatic prose with eclectic, yet artistically vibrant musical selections. Exsultet!’s last performance, for example included “Ride on King Jesus” and “Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy.” “Our musical fare runs a large gamut of musical styles. We don’t all into a typical pattern of serious in fall, popular in spring. We do a mix at every concert.” The group presents two concerts a year, one in January and one in May, with occasional smaller performances at local events, as permitted. Upcoming concerts include an “Around the World” themed

concert on January 23, 2016, featuring lullabies from around the world as well as a spring concert dedicated to first responders on May 21, 2016. The group hopes to draw singers who not only sing well and know music, but whose voice blends well with other singers of the same caliber. Potential singers will be able to download and review the audition piece on the group’s website at www.exsultet.us. The group’s active season runs from September through May, with rehearsals on Monday evenings, from 7-9 p.m. including holidays except for Labor Day. Larraga also invites high school singers to come intern with the group.

Fourth Annual Medway Town-Wide Yard Sale September 26 7 a.m. – 3 p.m. Event Benefits Medway Christmas Parade & Fireworks By J.D. O’Gara The Fourth Annual Medway Town-Wide Yard Sale, benefiting the Medway Christmas Parade and Fireworks, will take place on Saturday, September 26, from 7 a.m. – 3 pm. This tradition was begun by Chris and Andy Parchesky four years ago, to benefit the Medway 300 Committee and celebration. “We went to the longest yard sale, from Michigan down to Alabama the first weekend in August. It got us thinking about doing this in Medway,” says Chris Parchesky, who says she and her husband have been going to yard sales “all over” for about 20 years now. For Medway residents, adding your address to the map is $10. Maps will be printed and available for $1 on Yard Sale day at 7 a.m. at the entrance to Medway Plaza, right
across the street from Burger King. “This is the one day you don’t have to get a permit from the town,” says Parchesky. Then, she says, if you want to rent a space, for out-of-towners or for those who don’t have their own space, a spot at Medway Plaza is $25, and that will be listed on the map as well, she says. The deadline to get on the map is September 18. Applications can be picked up at Medway Town Hall, at the Town Clerk’s office, Star Market, and online at www. townofmedway.org. The event has become a pretty popular one in Medway, says Christine, noting that she has local customers approach her to ask about it at her job at Star Market. This is one of the Medway Christmas Parade commit-
tee’s biggest fundraisers, she says. “We just wanted to do it for the town, to make money, or for some organization” says Parchesky, happy that the idea has taken off. Last year, she says, the event boasted about 180 yard sales and about $1800 in fundraising. Some folks, she says, travel from out of town just to come to the event. In fact, one gentleman travels up from Cape Cod to attend, and each year, she says, he’s the first in line for the map, bringing a lot of his family with him. “We get a lot of people from out of town,” says Parchesky. “Everyone that participates in it had their own yard sale, and it was so much fun to meet people from out of town, or in the area. If anybody wants more information on the Fourth Annual Medway Town-Wide Yard Sale, they can call Chris Parchesky at (508) 533-2774.

Medway Mill Antiques Opens Art Gallery By J.D. O’Gara Medway Mill Antiques & More, at 135 Main Street, Route 109, Medway, has recently opened two of its rooms to local artists, serving as an art gallery. “I did this about 15 years ago in Franklin in a restaurant I owned, and we sold a lot of art for the artists,” says Medway Mill Antiques owner Bill Healey. “They have a problem getting inexpensive places to rent, but this way, they can rent an entire room for themselves or split a room with a group and show off their stuff.” Healey, who says he has a keen interest in art, says, ”It’s been very well received so far. All feel it’s very well worth doing.” For the first half of this month, from September first through 15th from 10 a.m.
until 5 p.m., Gallery One will feature local artists and sisters, Caryl Mayer and Helene Taylor. Gallery Two, through September 15, will feature nine artists from the Wrentham Art Group, including Tina Addison, Monica Foulkes, Lyn Freeman, Paul Freeman, Gail Grivois, Joe Levesque, Janet Nason, Thomas Richards and Joanne Schrems. Later, on September 20, for one day only, Anthony George, a Medway artist who will be a resident artist at the Medway Mill Antiques gallery, will be doing caricatures in Gallery One. The location will feature an artist’s reception on September 12 and September 19, from 10 a.m. – 5 p.m., with a free raffle of a framed print “Remember Cecil,” to be drawn on September 22.

The Right Tutors to Take Students the Extra Mile “Not college material.” That was how Dr. Steven Perryman, Optometrist and owner of Hopkinton Vision Center for 16 years, was described as a young person making his way through high school. “I didn’t have any interest in school at all,” says Dr. Perryman. “My guidance counselor told my parents ‘Steven is not college material. You should not concentrate on educating him in the future, and my parents believed it.’” After graduating high school, Dr. Perryman spent two years as a lobster fisherman in the summer, unloading trucks in the winter, jobs he soon realized he did not want to do when he was 60. He pursued community college, going on to attain his Bachelor’s Degree, and finally, his Doctorate of Optometry. “I don’t want any other child to face that false perception, simply because they perform poorly,” says Dr. Perryman. “With the right tutors, with the right motivation, I think any child is capable and can do anything he or she wants.” That’s why this fall, Dr. Perryman will open Extra Mile Tutoring on the 2nd floor of 31 Granite Street, in Milford. This month, the service will host two open houses for parents and students to learn more. These open houses will take place on Thursday, September
24th, from 4-7 p.m. and Saturday, September 26, from 1-3 p.m. Visitors can take a look at four private tutoring rooms equipped with a computer, table and chairs and casual area. These include a math room, a reading room, a history room and an English room, as well as a sizeable recreation room, great for those students attending longer sessions or who are waiting for parents to pick up. “This is personal to me,” says Dr. Perryman. “I want to find children who have been told the same thing I was told and link them up with a tutor that can inspire them to be the best they can be.” Extra Mile Tutoring, located right across from Fino Field in Milford, will begin its focus on students in grades 3-8, says Dr. Perryman, himself a married father of two young boys. Students can choose one- or two- hour sessions,
mainly from 3-8 p.m. weekdays, with weekend hours available. Qualified tutors will be available to any child in this age range from local towns, says Dr. Perryman, who will also look to hire local high school students with an interest in education to serve as helpers to engage children. Having already spoken with local school superintendents and parents’ groups, Dr. Perryman hopes to offer introductory rates to family members of PTO groups. “We’ll offer everything from homework help to standardized testing tutoring,” he says. Extra Mile Tutoring will coordinate all of its efforts with local schools, soliciting parents’ permission to contact children’s teachers and providing weekly or monthly internal progress reports to keep parents informed of their child’s progress. “Rates will vary, and we’ll have some packages for those in financial hardship,” says Dr. Perryman. Extra Mile Tutoring will also offer a college scholarship program. Check the website, www. extramiletutoring.com or find Extra Mile Tutoring on Facebook for more details on this scholarship program. You can also contact Extra Mile Tutoring, located at 31 Granite Street, Milford, at (508) 654-6298.

LIVING HEALTHY Computer Vision Syndrome: Do You Have It? By: Roger M. Kaldawy, M.D., Milford Franklin Eye Center As our scholars are going back to schools and colleges, more and more time is spent every day using computer screens, and our eyes are paying the price. Research shows that 25 to 93% of computer users experience a problem so common there’s a name for it: computer vision syndrome (CVS). Symptoms of CVS include decreased or blurred vision, burning or stinging eyes, sensitivity to light, headaches and back and neck pain. CVS is more common if we exceed 2 hours of continuous computer screen time a day. The most common causes of this syndrome include improper viewing angle or distance, glare on the computer screen, extended computer use, staring and uncorrected vision problems. The good news is that these problems are easy to fix, and identify-
letters and background or glare on the screen. This can result in sensitivity to light that can worsen 1.

5. Get your eyes checked
Uncorrected vision problems— farsightedness or astigmatism, problems focusing or coordinating the eyes and eye changes associated with aging—can contribute to eye strain and musculoskeletal pain. Even if you don’t need glasses for daily activities, you may need them for computer use. If you wear glasses or contacts and need to tilt your head or lean toward the screen to see it clearly, your lens prescription may not be right for computer use. Having the correct prescription can help pre-
vent pain in the neck, shoulders or back resulting from contorting the body to see the screen. If the above measures don’t work, don’t put off seeing an ophthalmologist. If the underlying cause of CVS is not addressed, symptoms will continue and may worsen in the future. Your ophthalmologist can do a visual acuity measurement to determine how your vision is affected, test your eyes to find a prescription that will compensate for any refractive errors, and check how well your eyes focus, move and work together. Computer vision syndrome is very common… As more screen work is needed, more eye strain can be expected. Our center and ophthalmologists have state of the art equipment to diagnose and treat many eye problems, including CVS. We are now able to better recognize and manage this problem and continue to provide world class eye care for the entire family.

LIVING HEALTHY Millis Designated a HEARTSafe Community By J.D. O’Gara In July, Millis officially received designation from the Metropolitan Boston Emergency Medical Service Council as a HEARTSafe Community, with Derrick Congdon, Executive Director at Metropolitan Boston EMS Council, Inc., bestowing the designation. “To date, out of 350 cities and towns in the Commonwealth, 170 are HEARTSafe Communities,” says Congdon. All of the communities, he says, must meet certain criteria. Each component of criteria relates to some component of survival in a cardiac arrest situation, he explains, including training individuals in CPR and use of AEDs, all first responder agencies have been trained in CPR and AED, and having public access to AEDs in community buildings.
HEARTSafe Communities is a program designed to promote survival from sudden out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. It began in Massachusetts in 2002. The idea behind it is strengthening the “chain of survival” as described by the American Heart Association. The program recognizes and stimulates efforts by individual communities to improve their system for preventing sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) from becoming irreversible death. In Millis, voters approved $37,138 for the placement of 21 Automated External Defibrillators (AED’s) in town buildings at the request of Millis Fire Chief Rick Barrett. “We have two AEDs at the Clyde F. Brown School and the Middle/High School has four,” says Clyde Brown School Nurse

have the ability to grab the defibrillator.” According to the American Heart Association (www.heart. org), giving CPR and using an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) can greatly improve the chances of survival for someone suffering cardiac arrest. The Millis Fire Department actually offers First Aid and CPR/ AED Training, says Barrett. The class is offered about once a month, usually on Thursday nights, according to demand. If any Millis resident is interested in getting together a group of at least five people from their office or neighborhood to take part in this class, contact Chief Barrett at the Millis Fire Station. The classes, he says, aren’t about the town making money, but rather to educate the citizens. Any fees cover the cost of the card and the literature. In fact, on September 30, the Millis Fire Department will join the Millis Police Department’s effort to provide information to residents. At 7 p.m. at the Millis Public Library, Chief Barrett will join Sgt. Soffayer in a CPR and defibrillator awareness training.

A Performing Arts Campus Grows Up in Franklin
For Director Raye Lynn Mercer, 2015 is a milestone year, marking both the 30th anniversary of the Franklin School for the Performing Arts (FSPA) and the kickoff to the Franklin Performing Arts Company’s 25th season. Founded by Mercer in 1985 and
1991, respectively, the school and company share a passion for quality arts education and programming, with a commitment to live music and a focus on youth development. Last fall, the non-profit Franklin Performing Arts Company (FPAC) debuted a new theater, music and event venue, THE BLACK BOX. FPAC’s new home is located just behind FSPA, creating a dynamic performing arts campus in the heart of downtown Franklin.

Dedicated to the enjoyment of the music, dance and drama for all ages, FSPA offers wideranging and multi-level classes in all dance disciplines, acting, musical theater, voice and instrumental instruction. The school provides a nurturing environment where students grow skills for the stage – and for life. A vibrant community and hub of nonstop activity, FSPA’s home at 38 Main Street is a transformative place. The faculty brings an extraordinary scope of training, teaching and performing experiences to their work at FSPA. Students find mentors who share a love for the arts and peers who enjoy the same interests. An unparalleled calendar of performing opportunities celebrates the achievements and development of even the youngest learners. From the earliest ages, FSPA programming encourages learning through doing, while building
skills, confidence and experience. Mercer and Kim Rezendes created the Little Music School (LMS) at FSPA in 2005. Teaching children as young as 18 months to play the piano, the LMS program introduces children to music in a way they understand, through imagination, movement, play and peer interaction. The innovative Mercer continues to develop new programming and expand opportunities at FSPA. The school launched a Musical Theater Conservatory last year to engage enthusiastic students at a high level in song interpretation and musical theater scene study while exploring possibilities for college and career. This fall, FSPA will introduce a new Dance Repertory Ensemble for students across many disciplines with opportunities to travel to NYC and Walt Disney World for classes and performances. Under

the direction of Ballet Mistress Cheryl Madeux, FSPA has created a three-track ballet program to meet the needs of dancers ranging from those interested in recreational enjoyment and those dedicated to pre-professional study. FSPA dancers pursue many exciting opportunities annually, such as this year’s collaborative performances with the Metrowest Symphony Orchestra and Symphony Pro Musica, presentations of classical variations with FSPA’s Ballet Conservatory Ensemble, and a production of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. FSPA’s Drama program encourages students to stretch their imagination, build characters and tell stories, with an interactive curriculum that includes Creative Dramatics, Improv, Scenes & Monologues and Principles of Acting. The Music Department provides opportunities to jam with Boston’s best musicians or sing in styles ranging from classical, jazz and musical theater to pop, rock and country. Performing opportunities include acoustic coffee houses, recitals, Glee Club, opera scenes, chamber ensembles and more. Performing is an encouraged part of the FSPA experience and helps students grow and develop. Electric Youth, an ensemble of singer-dancers trained at FSPA, entertained across England and France this summer, marking the group’s 12 European concert tour. The school’s musical theater troupes travel annually to Walt Disney World. FSPA now stages four all-student productions each year – a musical, ballet, play and opera – at THE BLACK BOX. And many FSPA students participate, through audition, in FPAC main stage musicals, dance, plays and concerts. The community is invited to Back-to-School Open Houses at 38 Main Street on September 1 and 3 from 10 a.m. – 8 p.m., September 12 from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m., and September 16 from 10 a.m. – 8 p.m. Come tour the facility, speak with faculty and staff, and learn more about FSPA programs. Prospective students are also encouraged to try a complimentary class. Registration for all programs is ongoing.

Bringing Our Veterans (All the Way) Home Memorial Day weekend. (They also do a cookout for veterans at the Holyoke soldiers’ home each August.) In December, they head down again to participate in Wreaths Across America. Not only do they help place wreaths, but also this year, Old Guard New England has been asked to provide a gun salute. Veterans’ cremains, which have been identified, are either brought down to Bourne, or they are brought to a state cemetery in Agawam or Winchendon, say the volunteers. “We do the full military salute, graveside,” says MacNeil. “I like to think of it as that final leg home,” says Bolandria. “We’re bringing our veterans home.” Old Guard New England is looking for volunteers to help them bring these veterans home, as well as donations. You can find out more information at www. oldguardne.org.
Old Guard New England Seeks Volunteers for Task in Laying Soldiers to Rest By J.D. O’Gara Should all our country’s veterans be laid to rest with dignity and recognition of their service? Old Guard New England, a local group of volunteers (and motorcycle enthusiasts) thinks so. Missing in America is a project many people might not have heard of, but it’s a project that struck the hearts of this group of folks in New England. Old Guard New England carries on the mission of Missing in America by identifying forgotten cremains of honorably discharged veterans and getting them to a proper resting place. “These guys fought for our country and deserve more than to sit on shelves for the rest of their days,” says Dave Cardillo, Webmaster, and Co-chair of the presentation committee for Old Guard New England, an organization comprised of veterans and non-veterans who strive to make sure all those who fought for our country are properly honored in their eternal rest. “You start off with whatever information they have on the cremains, and we make sure they get to a national cemetery,” says Bob Bolandria, Chair of the Executive Board of Old Guard New England. “Part of the veterans’ benefit is any veteran who gets an honorable discharge has the right to be buried in a national or state cemetery,” he explains, “but like so many benefits the government offers, they don’t tell you.” Old Guard New England also provides honor guard services for
families laying a deceased and honorably charged veteran to rest. These include an escort, flag-folding service, a gun salute and a bugler. Old Guard New England began when Don MacNeil, its president and founder, got a call from Missing in America in Arizona. “They said they were looking for people in my area,” says MacNeil, a veteran. What they were doing was locating unclaimed cremains of veterans and making it pains him to see these veterans sure they got a proper internment. and non-veterans alike. Cardillo says he believes a soul without a proper burial. That was probably about 10 years doesn’t rest if not properly buried. “The group heads down to ago now,” says MacNeil, who “I saw a lot of guys pass away, Bourne National Cemetery twice began his effort at a funeral home even in peace time, and it has to a year, escorting a bus full of vetin Worcester, Mass. be done,” he says. “It’s my small erans from the Framingham Elks “They had 260 sets of ashes in way of giving back,” noting that headquarters the Sunday before the basement,” he says. Of those, 18 were those of honorably discharged veterans. “It’s taken the full 10 years to get all of them (the vets) out of there.” What Old Guard New England first has to do is research. They contact Jefferson Barracks, part of the Department of Defense, says MacNeil, to verify social security information. They also research on ancestry.com 117 Wood Street, Hopkinton “It’s a long process,” says Mac117 Wood Street, Hopkinton Neil. “Once set of ashes could 508-435-5376 take us three days, or it could take 508-435-5376 www.mcintyreloam.com us six months.” The oldest one, he www.mcintyreloam.com says, was a brigadier general from the Spanish American War.

Sports Medway Colts Go with American Youth Football over Pop Warner By Christopher Tremblay In the past, the Medway youth football programs have been linked with Pop Warner Football, but this fall, the Colts will be making the jump to American Youth

your grade,” Hundertmark said. “Last year, we had an individual three years younger than the others in his specific league because of his weight. They may be physically big, but mentalitywise, they’re not the same.” The increased numbers this year will allow Medway to field eight teams ranging from third graders up until eighth graders. The teams began practicing the first week of August with games beginning the week after Labor Day. The teams will play 8 regular season games and then move onto the playoffs. Winners will go onto play other conference winners with the New England Champion being the area representative in the National Competition in Orlando Florida. “Playing in the AYF will allow the older kids to play the sport longer,” he said. “By sticking kids in weight classes, when they go over that limit, that’s it, they’re done and have nowhere to go.” Being able to put together eight squads in four different grade categories, Hundertmark is hoping that Medway will not have to send kids to other towns to be able to play football anymore. “Last year, we couldn’t get enough kids to form a team, so we had to send them to Holliston if they wanted to play,” the President

said. “Under the AFL, we’re hoping that doesn’t have to be the case anymore, and kids will not only get to stay in Medway, but play against kids their own age. We will also be playing teams closer to Medway, and more aligned to our demographics.” Not only has Medway put together eight teams this fall, they also have five girls playing on four different teams.

who have moved on high school with aspirations of continuing their football careers. “There are some girls that are superior athletes compared to their male counterparts at their age level,” Hundertmark said. “I have no issues with girls going up against boys on the football field.” Hundertmark has the utmost respect in his coaches that they will not only properly instruct their players but put them in the correct position to succeed, male or female. The coaches will all have to forego an instituted training program that will teach them how to keep their players safe at all cost. In addition, the AYF has taken the program to the next level by installing a program that will keep heads out of game in hopes of decreasing injuries and concussions. Throughout August the teams practiced at the Medway Middle School, but once the season begins, they’ll be taking their talents to the Medway High School turf field every Sunday. By allowing the kids to play on the turf field, the Medway Colts organization is looking to making game day an experience, one where they’ll not only have cheerleaders on the sidelines, but announcers in the press box.

Sports Millis’ O’Brien Has One Goal — Super Bowl Title By Ken Hamwey
Millis Senior and two-time TVL all-star and captain Tom O’Brien has set his sights on the highest prize this year.
with players like Villanova-bound Pete Fallon at guard and Jay Wenzel at tackle. The trio already has played 20-plus games as starters. “Our other two starters on the line haven’t been determined yet,’’ O’Brien said. “But, we will be one of the better lines in the league. We’re experienced and Pete and Jay are big and strong. We’re also a very close-knit group.’’ O’Brien, who played volleyball and competed in track briefly at the varsity level, has concentrated his efforts on football. His summer involved weight training, running and speed and agility drills. “I try to do all the things it takes to excel,’’ O’Brien emphasized. “Being physical, athletic and strong are plusses but it’s also important to be mentally tough and develop good technique with footwork.’’ O’Brien averaged one sack and five tackles a game on defense,

Tom O’Brien’s last two seasons as a starting two-way lineman for Millis High have been very successful and the Mohawks’ pair of 8-3 records during that stretch go a long way in defining the Mohawks’ gridiron program as one of the best in the Tri Valley League and the greater Metrowest area. But, the 17-year-old senior captain wants his final year with Millis to be more. Much more. The 6-foot-1, 255-pound guard-tackle has his sights set on a Super Bowl title, and that trumps any individual awards. O’Brien, who’s a two-time captain, has already been selected as a TVL allstar twice. “Getting a Super Bowl ring is my top goal,’’ he said. “Winning the TVL Small Division title would be nice and beating Medway on Thanksgiving also is a desired achievement. A Super Bowl championship is what we’re striving for. We’ve been prevented from getting to Gillette Stadium the last two years by Cohasset. If we face them again in the playoffs, we’ll be ready this time.’’ O’Brien, who plays guard on offense and tackle on defense rarely misses a minute on the field. His coach, Dana Olson, rates him one of the best in the league. “Tom has size, strength and he’s athletic,’’ Olson said. “On offense, he’s very adept as a pulling guard and on defense he’s got great pursuit. He moves well and he’s one of our toughest kids in the weight room.’’ Millis again will be one of the top teams in the TVL because of its talent on the line. O’Brien will team
which is where he prefers to play. “Defense is my favorite because you hit and pursue,’’ he noted. “You also need to be instinctive and know where the ball-carrier is going. On the offensive line, you’re pretty much unsung, always involved in reacting with a good hit that hopefully opens a hole. On defense, however, you hear the crowd get excited on a big hit or a sack. That’s when your teammates rush over and congratulate you.’’ Speaking of teammates, four players O’Brien believes will play key roles for Millis as it gets ready to host Holliston for its season opener on Sept. 11 are running back Josh Pierre-Charles, wide receiver Brian Espanet, quarterback Ryan Smith and receiver-safety PJ Adams. “Josh is such a strong runner who’s at the peak of his game,’’ O’Brien said. “Brian has a lot of drive and emotion and Ryan is very versatile, able to throw,
catch or play defense. PJ is only a sophomore but he’s so athletic.’’ A good student, O’Brien likely will play college ball at either the Division 2 or 3 level. Planning to major in environmental science, he’s considering schools like Stonehill, Assumption, Bentley and Nichols. “Tom would be a solid prospect at either Division 2 or 3,’’ Olson said. Relying on a competitive philosophy that stresses improving daily, winning and having fun, O’Brien has no qualms about playing almost every minute of every game. “I love it, because I can control more things when I’m on the field instead of being on the sideline,’’ he emphasized. “I get tired sometimes but I don’t show it until the game
ends. You have to learn to pace yourself. As a captain, it’s important for me to lead by example and by being vocal. I also try to be a role model for our younger players.’’ Individually, O’Brien wouldn’t mind finishing his senior year with another TVL all-star selection or even being named the league’s lineman of the year. He’d also like to increase his sack average to more than one per game. But, he’d trade all of those accolades for the big prize that’s eluded Millis the last two years. “Winning the Super Bowl would be a great way to end my senior year,’’ O’Brien said. “I’m someone who has a drive to succeed and a Super Bowl victory would be a fabulous way for all of us at Millis to end the season.’’

Warrior Thunder Ride Outgrows Millis Space, Moves to Medfield Fundraising Event Takes Place September 12, Benefits Veterans’ Programs By J.D. O’Gara The Sixth Annual Warrior Thunder Motorcycle Ride will take place on September 12, 2015, with kickstands up at 11:30 a.m. after registering, starting at 9:15 a.m. Since it has grown, the ride has moved to the Medfield American Legion Post 110, at 110 Peter Kristof Way, Medfield this year, from its former location of the Millis Amvets.
“We’ve moved from the Amvets, although they were phenomenal to us,” says Darren Bean, Warrior Thunder founder and organizer of the event, who says that the event has simply outgrown the space. The motorcycle ride, 45 miles long, will take place from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., and the fundraising event will include Blue Ribbon BBQ, raffles, music and cash bar, which lasts until 5 p.m. that day.
The ride costs $20 per rider and $15 per passenger and non-riders, which includes the barbecue. All proceeds from this particular event go to the Fisher House, Boston, a home away from home where military families can stay while a loved one is receiving inhouse treatment at a local medical center. “We’ve partnered with the Fisher House to do this event with the proper honor and dignity with which it should be done. It’s an open partnership to help each others’ mission, which is really the same mission, to

The Warrior Thunder Foundation Inc. helps veterans and their families with financial help, as well as by funding such alternative therapy programs.

take care of veterans and their families,” says Bean. The Warrior Thunder Foundation has been incorporated as a nonprofit since April of 2011. It was begun by Bean and a few friends who “just wanted to do something” to help injured veterans. All motorcycle lovers, they decided to start with a motorcycle ride. Since 2010, the Warrior Thunder Foundation, Inc. (WTFI) has raised almost $170.000 in cash, goods and services provided to injured service men and women, vets and their families. The organization gives out grants to veterans and military in need of help, and it offers two scholarships to children of veterans and military families, one through a partnership with TJX and one with NH author J.H. Sanderson. “We have individual grants that we do, which a person can apply for. We usually pay the bill collector,” says Bean. WTFI is also involved in some new unique programs for veterans dealing with PTSD, depression and anxiety that are alternatives to traditional therapy. “Veterans by nature are very
proud people,” says Bean, a veteran himself. “They don’t like to talk about their issues. It makes them feel like they’re less than the person they are.” “This past year, we started working with Rebuilding Warriors. They train working dogs to be working dogs for veterans with PTSD and physical disabilities,” says Bean. “We sponsored a German Shepard from a kennel in Massachusetts, named ‘Freedom,’ and they trained her for about nine or ten months. We turned her over to a local veteran who has PTSD and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). It’s one of my favorite things we’ve done, because this one this one was just so wonderful, to see that this veteran who came back with some invisible scars is going to have a partner for the rest of his life to keep him calm in crowds.” WTFI also bought a horse for the BINA Farm Center in order for them to continue using the animal for its equine therapy healing program. WTFI is working with the organization on a healing program for veterans.

Church of Christ, Congregational to Host Free Improv Show Friday, September 11, 7-8 p.m. The Church of Christ, Congregational will host a free Improv show for the community on Friday, September 11 from 7-8 p.m. at 142 Exchange St. in Millis. The program will feature professional actors from ImprovBoston, local talent, and a lot of audience participation. The show will be the culmination of a series of workshops, held at the church and taught by ImprovBoston actors, which encouraged participants to experiment with improvisation and work on their comedic skills. “We’ve had people who are 12 through their 70’s participating in the classes,” says Rev. Sheri Anderson, youth
pastor. “Our instructor has been getting us to try new things, and it is outrageously funny!” The comedy and improvisation workshops were funded by a grant from the Lilly Endowment which supports pastoral excellence by funding innovative sabbatical plans. In addition to the local workshops, Rev. Jennifer Munroe-Nathans, senior pastor at the Church of Christ, Congregational, had the opportunity to study comedy with the famous Second City in Chicago. Rev. Munroe-Nathans is interested in the role of improvisation and comedy in ministry, so this was a great opportunity for

For more information on the September 12 motorcycle run, email darrenbean@warriorthunder.org “These people are my brothers and sisters, and I’m going to help them for the rest of my life,” says Bean. “We don’t want a pat on the back. We want people to join us. It’s about making everyone in the nation understand what these vets and their families have gone through, making them aware and part of the solution..”

In addition to these programs, WTFI will be hosting a number of professionally-run programs, including yoga therapy, music therapy and art therapy for soldiers, many of whom, due to backlog at the VA, tend not to get the therapy they need following initial medication, he feels. WTFI is also involved in a prosthetic wrap program for veterans who have lost limbs. Although the WTFI’s motorcycle run on September 12 is one of its biggest fundraisers, the group has also begun a golf tournament to raise funds. The next one will take place on June 9, 2016 at the Juniper Hill Golf Course in North Attleboro. Bean says WTFI couldn’t do the work it does without some great volunteers and partnerships. “Our golf tournament, I think we had 60 volunteers, volunteers who come back to us on a regular basis. Northeast Insurance Agency, they sponsor and their employees come out, and it’s the same thing with TJX Companies, out of Framingham, they’re a sponsor for every one of our events and give us items to donate. Metronics from Mansfield sent us 30 volunteers.. They’re great sponsorships that last, and it’s a great network of friends and support that make it easy to do what it is we do.” WTFI gratefully welcomes more volunteers and donors to its cause, accepting donations at
the pastor and the church to explore that area. “It’s been a lot of fun, but we’ve also learned to work together, trust each other and support one another. And,
we’ve discovered a lot of hidden talent!” added Rev. Anderson. All are welcome to attend. No tickets are necessary; just come and have a good laugh! For more

OUR CLIENTS ARE SPEAKING OUT…. We can’t thank Laina enough for all the hard work she put into helping us sell and purchase our homes in Medway. Laina went above and beyond the call of duty during the whole process and we really felt like she did everything and more to get everything done in a timely manner. We had a few hiccups towards the end, but she stepped it up when others didn’t, and we really can’t thank her enough for her efforts. If you’re in need of a realtor, give her a ring! Friendly, hard working and gets the job done. What more do you need! Jenna Francesconi
