Millis Waives Right of First 

Refusal on Glen Ellen Property 

78 of 230 Acres to Be Preserved as Open 

Space through Mass. Chapter 61B 

By David Pasquantonio 

After a town-wide open 

hearing on February 10, the 

Millis Board of Selectmen 

waived the town’s right to purchase 

a portion of the Glen 

Ellen property, and the site 

continues on track for purchase 

by Toll Brothers to develop 

a 324-unit senior residential 

community. 

“The question we are faced 

with tonight is one of great 

On February 10, Millis waived its right of first refusal to purchase 

the 230-acre Glen Ellen Country Club property from Corcoran 

Dennison, 223 acres of which are located within Millis. That step 

puts the property back on track for purchase by Toll Brothers, 

which plans a a 324-unit senior residential community on the site. 

strategic importance to the 

town,” Selectman James Mc- 

Caffrey said as the meeting 

opened, listing open space purchases 

the town had previously 

approved. “This would be the 

largest housing development in 

the history of this town.” He 

also noted the impact that the 

development would have on 

neighboring towns and Millis 

abutters to the property. 

Under a state regulation 

called Chapter 61B, property 

owners — in this case, 

Corcoran Jennison, the current 

owners of Glen Ellen 

— can designate a portion 

of their land as recreational 

in exchange for a lower tax 

rate on that acreage. However, 

when that acreage comes 

under future agreement to be 

sold, a town can match the 

purchase and sale price and 

buy the land. The portion of 

Glen Ellen covered by Chapter 

61B is under a sales agreement 

for $13 million, and that 

is the amount the town would

Medway High School 

Presents the Musical 

Bye Bye, Birdie 

The Medway High School 

will present performances of the 

musical Bye Bye, Birdie on Friday, 

March 4 and Saturday, March 5 

at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, March 

6 at 2:30 p.m. The performances 

will be held in the Dr. Arthur L. 

Bettencourt Auditorium at Medway 

High School, 88 Summer St. 

in Medway. 

Over 50 Medway High 

School students from grades 

9-12 are involved in the production 

as cast members, dance ensemble, 

production crew and pit 

band. Bye Bye, Birdie is a musical 

comedy centered around the arrival 

of Elvis-inspired rock star 

Conrad Birdie to Sweet Apple, 

Ohio. He has just been drafted 

into the army and will bestow his 

“One Last Kiss” on teen fangirl, 

Kim MacAfee, on the beloved 

Ed Sullivan Show. The high 

profile kiss causes mixed feelings 

for Kim’s steady, Hugo Peabody, 

as well as her parents Doris and 

Harry MacAfee. The show, with 

music by Charles Strouse and lyrics 

written by Lee Adams is full 

of energy, comedy and romance. 

It features popular 1950’s musical 

numbers “Put on a Happy 

Face,” “A Lot of Livin’ To Do” 

and “Telephone Hour” which 

recalls a time when teens actually 

talked on the phone. 

The show features an array of 

characters, including Conrad’s 

agent, Albert Peterson, and his 

longtime girlfriend/secretary, 

Rose Alvarez. Their publicity 

stunt on the Ed Sullivan Show is

have had to pay to purchase the 

property. The agreement would 

have cost Millis anywhere from 

$17 million to $20 million, depending 

on the length of financing 

and secured interest rate. In 

addition, if Millis had exercised 

its right to purchase the acreage, 

the town would have had to provide 

a non-refundable $550,000 

deposit as early as two days after 

Corcoran Jennison received the 

town’s purchase agreement. 

The Glen Ellen property, 

covered under three different 

purchase and sale agreements 

between Corcoran Jennison and 

Toll Brothers, consists of 230 

acres, 223 of which are in Millis.

is dated November 23, 2015, 

meaning that the town had a 

right of first refusal under Chapter 

61B to purchase the property 

until March 22, 2016. 

“To wait is to effectively waive 

our right anyway,” McCaffrey 

said during discussion. “Waiting 

six weeks is essentially kicking the 

can down the road.” 

“We don’t know what’s going 

to happen in the next six weeks,” 

Smith said. “I would never waive 

the town’s right.” 

Neville added that, along with 

McCaffrey, he was in favor of 

waiving the town’s right of first 

refusal, saying that the decision 

would not be made solely on 

the discussion arising during the 

meeting, but from all of the information 

that the selectmen had 

gathered during the process. 

Residents of Millis and Holliston 

spoke to the Board during 

the meeting, voicing concerns 

about the project’s impact on 

traffic, home valuation, water 

use and runoff, and land preservation. 

Residents also questioned 

the purchase price, noting that 

$13 million is far above the current 

land valuation. 

A special permit was issued 

in 2008 by the Millis Planning 

Board for Glen Ellen to sell the 

property for future development 

of up to 341 units of senior residential 

housing. After years of 

litigation, that permit was approved 

in 2012. Normally, permits 

of this nature are good for 

two years, but the Massachusetts 

legislature in 2012 granted a 

four-year extension on such permits 

as part of a job and growth 

stimulation incentive, meaning 

that the Planning Board’s original 

2008 permit is valid through 

January 2018. 

The permit allows for a developer 

to build up to a 341-unit 

senior residential community on 

the Glen Ellen property. The current 

plan released by Toll Brothers 

consists of 324 housing units 

— 108 single-family detached 

homes, and 216 townhouses in 

groups of two to four units. The 

detached homes have an estimated 

sale price of $515,000, 

while the townhouses would sell 

for $440,000. 

Business as Usual 

at Glen Ellen 

by J.D. O’Gara 

“Until the property gets 

sold, we are here and open for 

business,” says Eileen Aviza, 

General Manager for the Glen 

Ellen Country Club. Property 

owners extended the first right 

of refusal to the Town of Millis, 

which declined to purchase the 

property, on February 10, 2016. 

“We’re still selling golf and 

pool memberships and booking 

2016 functions,” says Aviza. 

“We anticipate being here for 

2016.” Pool membership includes 

use of the swimming 

pools, tennis, basketball and 

volleyball courts, softball field, 

horseshoe pits, playground 

and miniature golf, seven days 

a week, while the pool is open, 

Memorial Day to Labor Day. 

The country club’s terrace 

room can hold up to 120 

people, and its main ballroom

available, this picture shows an example of a Toll Brothers home in an 

active adult community in Methuen. 

can hold up to 350. The club 

will offer its swim lessons, golf 

camps and daily fee golf this 

summer, and it will again work 

with Millis Recreation on hosting 

the Millis Swim Team for 

practices in the 2016 season. 

“I still have same staff returning, 

and my managers are 

returning, so it’s business as 

usual,” says Aviza, who says she 

has always known about “something 

was going on on the back 

burner” about the property, but 

not the details. 

“People have been calling, 

and they think the backhoes are 

here and the property is already 

sold, and that is not the case 

right now,” says Aviza. 

The Glen Ellen Country Club 

is located at 84 Orchard Street, 

in Millis. They can be reached at 

(508) 376-2978 or online at www. 

theglencc.com. 

In a proposed five-year buildout 

plan, in which 20 percent of 

the proposed units are built and 

all are sold each year, the development 

would net Millis approximately 

$525,000 per year 

in added property tax revenues, 

culminating in an approximate 

annual $2.5 million in property 

taxes once the community is fully 

built out and sold through. Toll 

Brothers has an eight-year window 

for the full build-out, according 

to the selectmen. 

If Millis were to have purchased 

the Glen Ellen property, 

the average residential property 

tax bill would have risen about 

$300 per year, given a 30-year 

loan period, an interest rate of 

3.5 percent, and an additional 

$0.83 per $1000 valuation. The 

current average single-family 

home valuation in Millis is about 

$357,000, and the current average 

property tax bill is about 

$6,200. There would have been 

no restrictions on how the town 

could have used the property, 

Smith said. 

According to a January 2016 

report for Toll Brothers by ESE 

Consultants, the completed community 

will add an estimated 509 

new Millis residents once the 

community is fully built-out and 

sold through. 

Although that population consists 

solely of adults and would 

not add school-age children to 

the Millis school system, it could 

foster intra-town movement, 

with current Millis empty-nesters 

moving into the new community 

and families with school-age children 

taking their place in existing 

Millis homes. 

The community will have 

its own slew of private services 

like trash pickup, snow plowing, 

and road maintenance, all paid 

for through a homeowner association 

fee estimated at $350 per 

month per housing unit. The development 

also includes a sewage 

treatment plant.

Millis, Holliston among Green 

Community Celebrants 

On February 16, the Massachusetts 

Department of Energy 

Resources hosted a regional 

event at Holliston Town Hall 

recognizing the achievement of 

Green Community status of Millis, 

Holliston, Pepperell, Littleton 

and Stow. In the 9th round of the 

program, these five communities 

are among 19 new Green Communities. 

In order to qualify, communities 

must pass five criteria: 

• Provide as-of-right siting in 

designated locations for renewable/alternative 

energy 

generation, research & development, 

or manufacturing 

facilities. 

• Adopt an expedited application 

and permit process for 

as-of-right energy facilities. 

• Establish an energy use 

baseline and develop a plan 

to reduce energy use by 

twenty percent (20%) within 

five (5) years. 

• Purchase only fuel-efficient 

vehicles. 

• Set requirements to minimize 

life-cycle energy costs 

for new construction; one 

way to meet these requirements 

is to adopt the new 

Board of Building Regulations 

and Standards (BBRS) 

Stretch Code. 

The designation opens up 

access to grant funding for additional 

energy efficiency and 

renewable energy projects at the 

local level.

Historic Property in Millis Free to New Home

1850. They’re probably two of 

the last buildings of post and

them. At the site of the old Braman

(which ceased operation in 2009) 

on the last stretch of Route 109 

in Millis before hitting Medway,

purchased the site.

The buildings were originally 

built and owned by John Bullen, 

who was the incorporator of the

Maltinsky presented this idea 

to the Millis Planning Board on 

behalf of the Historical Commission. 

“Tractor Supply agreed 

to all that. It has been very accommodating 

in trying to do 

something with the property 

instead of just tearing it down,” 

says Maltinsky. 

Tractor Supply, says Maltinsky, 

will be closing on the purchase 

this spring. “If anybody 

was interested, we’d have to act 

fast on it. One person might want 

the house; one person might 

want the barn. If we had more 

than one party interested, then 

the Historical Commission 

would have to make a 

decision.” 

Maltinsky points out that 

the Millis Historical Commission 

has a duty to preserve 

and oversee historical 

assets of the town, and he 

hopes someone from Millis 

or other nearby towns 

might be interested in the 

structures. If you or someone 

you know might be interested, 

contact the Millis 

Historical Commission at 

cnbigbarn@hotmail.com.

She always knew she was creative. 

When Paula Fraser retired 

from teaching preschoolers about 

seven years ago, she had dabbled 

a variety of arts and crafts, including 

spinning and rug braiding, 

not to mention promoting 

art through her work with children 

in Millis and Sharon, but 

when she finally had the time, 

the nearly 40-year Millis discovered 

her hidden talent – as a pastel 

artist. In fact, just last month, 

over 30 of her paintings were 

featured in a show in the Roche 

Bros. Room of the Millis Public 

Library. 

“You’re never too old to try 

something new,” says Fraser, 

who says a friend introduced 

her to an instructor in the medium. 

“I never thought I had 

talent.” Fraser later continued 

her pastel work through a new 

teacher, Jeannie Rosier Smith, 

of Sudbury. “I’ve 

been taking lessons 

from her for 

almost five years,” 

says Fraser, who 

even traveled to 

Provence, France, 

with this instructor. 

“She’s the 

one that taught 

me, gave me encouragement, 

suggestions. She’s 

fantastic.”

Fraser says she enjoys the medium 

because “it’s messy. I really 

like the fact that it’s dry, so I don’t 

have to wait for it to dry, and you 

can do a lot of layers and have 

a lot of really bright colors. It’s 

very forgiving, but it really is an 

art,” says Fraser, who adds that 

some artists don’t value the medium 

as much as, say, oil painting. 

“You do have to cover it with 

glass,” she says, adding that some 

people spray their work to set it 

before framing. “I do my own 

framing,” says Fraser, “and I 

don’t spray my art. I think it dulls 

the color, somewhat.” 

Fraser, who has also taken art 

classes as a member of the Concord 

Art Museum, has had some 

success in a number of art shows, 

to date. 

“I was in an art show at the 

Mill Gallery in New Hampshire 

and the Warner Fall Foliage Festival, 

also in Kennebunkport at 

the Port Gallery, she says, noting

that she’s done several shows in 

New Hampshire. Some of her 

pieces that she’s painted from 

her lake home in Bradford, NH 

were shown at a show held by 

that town’s Historical Society, at 

which she even sold a few paintings. 

“I never realized you can really 

lose yourself in something,” 

says Fraser, who says she is drawn 

to painting water, attracted to 

capturing and portraying light. 

Time just goes by.” 

The artist begins her work 

in charcoal, with a thumbnail 

sketch to capture the “darks and 

lights.” Later, she adds to it to 

make it more three-dimensional. 

“I step back and say, ‘Oh, my 

god, I did that!’” she says. “I surprise 

myself at how it comes out, 

although sometimes…it doesn’t,” 

she laughs. 

Fraser’s only regret, she says, 

is not having begun her artwork 

at a younger age, but, she says, 

“Time didn’t work out. I was 

working two jobs and raising a 

family. I didn’t know I had this 

in me. I knew I was creative, but 

I didn’t know I could draw and 

paint like I do. says the mother 

two and grandmother of five. 

Fraser says she’s still growing 

and experimenting with different 

avenues of art, such as landscapes, 

portraits and still life. She 

enjoys painting from her travels 

with her husband and with 

friends, which have taken her to 

every continent excluding Antarctica. 

“I try to paint from the different 

areas,” she says, “It reminds 

me of the times we’ve had, the 

experiences we’ve had.”

Eyelid Margin Disease 

By Roger M. Kaldawy, M.D., 

Milford Franklin Eye Center 

Eyelid margin disease, including 

blepharitis, occurs when the 

eyelids become coated with oily 

particles and bacteria near the 

base of the eyelashes. This condition 

is very common, and unfortunately, 

is often misdiagnosed by 

many eye professionals as allergy, 

which it is not.

With eyelid margin disease the 

eyelids are inflamed. Symptoms 

include: Eye and eyelid irritation, 

itchiness of the eye, redness of 

the eye and a burning sensation. 

This condition frequently occurs 

in people who have a tendency 

toward oily skin, dandruff 

or dry eyes. With blepharitis, 

both the upper and lower eyelids 

become coated with oily particles

and bacteria near the base of the 

eyelashes. It may cause irritation, 

itchiness, redness, and stinging or 

burning of the eye. 

What causes blepharitis? 

Everyone has bacteria on the 

surface of their skin, but in some 

people, bacteria thrive in the skin 

at the base of the eyelashes. Large 

amounts of bacteria around the 

eyelashes can cause dandruff-like 

scales and particles to form along 

the lashes and eyelid margins.

Blepharitisis also associated 

with meibomianitis— a dysfunction 

and inflammation of 

the nearby oil glands of the eyelids 

(called meibomian glands). 

Blepharitis is also common in 

association with a skin disorder 

called rosacea. In this case, we 

call the eyelid problem “ocular 

rosacea.” 

What is ocular rosacea? 

People who have acne rosacea, 

a common skin condition causing 

pimple-like bumps and facial 

redness may suffer from ocular 

rosacea. This can affect the eyelids 

with redness and swelling. If 

you have ocular rosacea, reduce 

alcohol, caffeine and chocolate in 

your diet. Omega-3 fatty acids 

(fish oil and flaxseed oil) are also 

helpful. Doxycycline or similar 

derivatives can help improve the 

dysfunctional oil glands as well 

as both facial and eye symptoms. 

Reducing stress and better sleep 

are critical in controlling the 

symptoms.

What is demodex 

blepharitis? 

Some people with oily (seborrheic) 

skin, and more so those 

who have a weakened immune 

system can have microscopic 

mites (demodex folliculorum), 

and their waste materials cause 

clogging of follicles at roots of 

eyelashes, and in some cases 

might be associated with development 

of skin conditions such 

as rosacea and blepharitis. Another 

version of these mites (demodex 

brevis) can be found more 

generally in oil glands of the skin 

and eyelids, which also may contribute 

to blepharitis symptoms. 

While presence of these tiny 

mites is common in everyone, 

researchers speculate that some 

people develop demodex blepharitis 

due to unusual allergic or immune 

system reactions leading to 

inflammation. 

What if I get a stye? 

A stye develops from an eyelash 

follicle or an eyelid oil gland 

that becomes clogged from excess 

oil, debris or bacteria. Styes 

can be a complication of blepharitis. 

If you have a stye, treat it 

like you treat blepharitis, and if 

not better within two weeks, see 

your ophthalmologist. 

How is blepharitis 

treated? 

Blepharitis is often a chronic 

condition, but it can be controlled 

with the following treatment: 

• Warm compresses. Wet a 

clean washcloth with warm 

water, wring it out and place 

it over your closed eyelids for 

at least one minute. Repeat 

two or three times, rewetting 

the washcloth as it cools. This 

will loosen scales and debris 

around your eyelashes. It also 

helps dilute oil secretions from 

nearby oil glands, preventing 

the development of a chalazion 

(stye)-an enlarged lump 

caused by clogged oil secretions 

in the eyelid. 

EYE 

continued on page 15



EYE 


• Eyelid scrubs. Using a clean 

washcloth, cotton swab or 

commercial lint-free pad 

soaked in warm water and 

few drops of baby shampoo, 

gently scrub the base of your 

eyelashes for about 15 seconds 

per eyelid. 

• Antibiotic ointment. Your 

ophthalmologist may prescribe 

an antibiotic ointment. 

Using a clean fingertip or cotton 

swab, gently apply a small 

amount at the base of the eyelashes 

before bedtime. 

• Artificial tears or steroid eye 

drops may also be prescribed 

temporarily to relieve dry eye 

or inflammation. 

Specific treatment of demodex 

blepharitis: A commercial 

eyelid scrub combined with 

tea tree oil may be effective for 

treating this type of blepharitis. 

The target here is to reduce the 

population of the mite (demodex). 

Other reported treatments 

of demodex blepharitis include 

sulfur oil and steroids. An antiparasitic 

gel (metronidazole) also 

has shown effectiveness as a treatment. 

Eyelid margin disease is very 

common. With a full time external 

disease specialist on premises, 

our center offers state of the art 

equipment to diagnose and treatment 

eye problems, including 

blepharitis. We are now a referral

Serving the children, adolescents and adults 

of greater Boston for fourteen years 

After a 30-year career as a Software Engineering 

Manager Frank Gatulis retired from Hewlett 

Packard. He originally began working at Digital, 

which became Compaq and then Hewlett Packard. 

A couple of years in to retirement Gatulis 

was looking for a way to incorporate more social 

interaction into his daily life and was offered an 

opportunity to volunteer at the Medway Police 

Department by Allen Tingley who was then the 

Lieutenant, in October 2004. The general job 

description was for “custodial and some light 

maintenance” work. Since then he has been volunteering 

6 days a week for 1-2 hours at a time, 

longer when a particular task is more involved 

than usual. 

Gatulis is willing to take on any custodial task 

such as cleaning the station, washing police vehicles, 

repairing broken or damaged equipment, 

and miscellaneous yard work or snow cleanup 

when necessary. 

“Over the years Frank has saved the Police 

Department a tremendous amount of money by 

volunteering his time,” said Police Chief Allan 

Tingley. He continued, “Frank has become an 

invaluable member of the department and we 

count ourselves very lucky to know such a wonderful 

man.” 

Gatulis has always enjoyed using his skills to 

help others – a trait he says he inherited from his 

parents. He previously served on the board of 

Medway Cable and provided services and oversight 

to several renovation projects at the station. 

These days, in addition to providing a valuable 

service to the Police Department he sees his volunteer 

commitment as giving him daily structure, 

commitment, social interaction, and physical exercise. 

He also values the relationships he has developed 

with the officers and staff at the station. 

“Being able to help out at the Police Department 

is nothing like doing a regular job. It’s more like 

going out to help your friends. The entire Police 

Department staff is a great bunch of people who 

respect each other and the people they have to 

deal with. I feel appreciated and it’s just a pleasure 

to be able help out however I can. I can’t think of 

a “real” job I’d rather be out doing.”

Southern Rail Bluegrass Concert 

at Medway Library 3/20 

The toe-tappingest, footstompingest 

group ever to grace 

the Cole Room will be back at 

the Medway Public Library Sunday 

March 20, 3-5 p.m. 

The Friends of the Medway 

Public Library are sponsoring 

this benefit concert to raise 

money for the Library. Southern 

Rail Bluegrass music always 

is a hit with all ages. The room 

layout allows the band and audience 

to interact, making this a 

very good venue for live music. 

Easy access and a big indoor 

lobby make this a perfect 

“trial concert” for children who 

might not be able to sit through 

a concert in a more formal setting, 

since parents can take them 

out to the lobby where they can 

dance to the music. 

Audience members have the 

opportunity to mingle with band 

members at intermission and 

after the show. For new fans and 

old, Southern Rail 

CDs and a DVD of one of 

their concerts will be on sale at 

intermission. 

Southern Rail’s recordings, 

featuring their prolific songwriting, 

have climbed to #11 

on Bluegrass Unlimited’s Top 

Thirty Single’s Chart, and have 

hit #1 on a number of radio stations 

across the nation. 

Buy tickets at the Library 

beginning March 1. Southern 

Rail concerts often sell out, so 

advance purchasing is recommended. 

Tickets are $10 adult, 

$5 student, under 12 free. 

Refreshments will be available 

at intermission for a small 

donation.

Millis Girls 4x200 Relay Team - 

a Force Come of Age 

By Christopher Tremblay 

In the past, the numbers for 

the Millis girls track team just 

were not there, and without 

a large contingency of bodies 

to participate in the numerous 

events, it was rather difficult for 

the Mohawks to compete, never 

mind win. That is, until recently. 

Three years ago, Laura Connor 

took over the program and 

has steadily been increasing the 

number of bodies on her team 

to where they can be competitive 

within the Tri-Valley League. 

“The first year I took over, 

I tried recruiting students every 

possible chance that I got. I don’t 

think that there was a single individual 

in any of my classes that 

I didn’t try to get to run track 

for me,” she said. “The first two 

years found the numbers in the 

20’s, but this year we have 40- 

plus girls on the team. With these 

extra numbers we’ve been able to 

field a team that can compete in 

events that we have taken part in, 

in the past.” 

One of those events is the 

4x200 relay, where the Millis 

girls have been putting up some 

phenomenal numbers this season 

participating in Invitationals. 

The quartet is led by elder statesman 

Katie Malewicz, a Millis 

sophomore. The rest of the team 

consists of three freshman runners 

in Sara Schildwachter, Ciara 

Moynihan and Morgan Kane. 

Although its members are all 

relatively new to the high school, 

the foursome has been running 

as a team for the past few years. 

“They’ve been running together 

since the seventh grade 

with us, their score just didn’t 

count,” said Connor. “Now that 

they are in the high school, we 

can actually count their scores in 

our meets, and being so young,

they should be together for quite 

a while.” 

Thus far, the quartet has finished 

fifth in the Division 5 Relay 

Tournament and grabbed an 

impressive second place finish 

in the Freshman/Sophomore 

Meet. According to Connor, the 

girls have yet to solidify a specific 

rotation in the event despite their 

strong performances. 

Millis Athletic Director Chuck 

Grant has been impressed to say 

the least at what Connor has 

been able to get out of these 

young girls as well as the rest of 

the track team. 

“The program has improved 

by leaps and bounds. We use to 

be the doormat of the league, 

but Laura’s ability to get the kids 

out of the hallways and harness 

their strengths has turned us into 

a competitive program.” Grant 

said. “Our program numbers 

have increased by 300 percent 

since her appointment.” 

In addition to the 4x200 relay 

– Moynihan and Malewicz also 

run the 4x400 for Millis along 

with Parousia Cruz and Hannah 

MacDonald. The 4x400 team 

took third place in the Relay 

Meet. Not only has the 4x200 

team qualified to participate 

in the State Tournament, each 

member has qualified to take 

This young Millis girls 4x200 relay team has been running together 

since its three freshmen (there’s one sophomore) were in 7th grade. 

Now that their scores count, the runners are taking off and making a 

name for Millis Girls Track. From left to right Sara Schildwachter, Ciara 

Moynihan, Katie Malewicz and Morgan Kane. 

part in an individual event as 

well: Malewicz will run the 300, 

while Schildwachter, Moynihan 

and Kane have all qualified in 

the 55-meter dash. 

While Connor has managed 

to get the number of female athletes 

to come out for the team, 

it has been first year Assistant 

Coach Liz Schildwachter who 

has worked relentlessly with the 

sprinters and the relay teams to 

get them where they are today. 

“The girls have been really 

receptive to Liz’s coaching, and 

moving forward, I feel this team 

is only going to get better,” the 

Millis Coach said. “If we continue 

to work hard, we’ll keep 

moving forward. Other teams 

in the league are starting to take 

notice; originally they didn’t see 

us as a competitive team. Now, 

they do.” 

As the Mohawks continue to 

work hard under Connor and 

Schildwachter, they will only get 

better, the question is how much 

better will they become and will 

anyone be able to catch them.

Medway-Ashland Gearing Up 

for Hockey Tourney 

By KEN HAMWEY 

No one can accuse the Medway-Ashland 

girls ice hockey 

team of being inconsistent. The 

program is seven years old, and 

it’s qualified for tourney play in 

all of those seven seasons. 

The co-op team, which also 

includes skaters from Millis and 

Holliston, had a 9-4-3 record at 

Local Town Pages deadline and 

soon will be gearing up for another 

tournament run. Last year, 

coach Kurt Carter’s squad went 

15-5-4 overall, bowing out of 

the playoffs after losing to Milton. 

The girls’ deepest advance 

in tourney action came in 2014 

when they were eliminated by 

Sandwich in the semifinals. 

“During our early years our 

objective was to get to the playoffs,’’ 

Carter said. “This season 

our goal is to compete for a state 

championship. It’s a realistic expectation. 

We’re glad we qualified 

for the playoffs but the key 

now is to peak at the right time.’’ 

Medway-Ashland’s strengths 

outweigh its deficiencies, making 

the co-op contingent a viable 

force in the Western Division 

of the Southeast Mass. Girls 

Hockey League, which includes 

Franklin, King Philip, Westwood, 

Dover-Sherborn, Medfield and 

Walpole. “Our skill level is good, 

we’ve got depth, we’re technically 

sound and we can score,’’ 

Carter said. “On the flip side, 

we’re young, inexperienced and 

could be more confident.’’ 

Carter usually adjusts his 

team’s style to the type of talent 

on his roster. This season, he 

says, “we’ve taken an aggressive 

approach to the puck, our forechecking 

is strong, and we’ve got 

the speed and skill to get back on 

defense.’’ 

The squad’s two senior captains 

— center Kerryann Goode 

of Medway and defenseman 

Kasey Thoresen of Ashland — 

are four-year veterans and no 

doubt key cogs for the tourney. 

“Kerryann became our first career 

100-point scorer (10 goals, 

22 assists this season),’’ Carter 

said. “She’s got a high hockey 

IQ, she’s skilled, skates well and 

is quick. She’s a strong and accurate 

shooter. Kasey is our leader 

on defense. A smart competitor, 

she’s strong, physical, tough and 

wins her battles.’’ 

Medway’s Gabriella Airosus, 

a junior left wing, and Holliston’s 

Ashley Fondo, a junior 

right wing, form the team’s first 

line with Goode. “Gabriella is a 

finesse player,’’ Carter said. “A 

hard-worker, she can shoot and 

gets her share of points. Ashley 

has speed and power and she can 

score, too.’’ Through 16 games, 

Fondo had 16 goals and 13 assists 

for 29 points and Airosus had 5 

goals and 16 assists for 21 points. 

Another key to Medway-Ashland’s 

longevity in the playoffs 

is freshman goalie Rachel Gittings 

of Medway, whose goalsagainst 

average was 2.19 after 16 

games. Carter admires her fundamentally 

sound style. “Rachel 

has great composure,’’ he said. 

“She’s instinctive and she plays 

the angles well.’’ 

Sophomores Ally Smith of 

Millis and Caroline Werner of 

Holliston, along with Thoresen, 

provide Medway-Ashland with 

a formidable back-line defense. 

“Ally and Caroline both have a 

high hockey IQ, they play strong 

and their skill level is good,’’ 

Carter said. 

A senior whom Carter rates 

highly is center Kaitlyn Auen of 

Ashland. He admires her senior 

leadership but he also likes her 

intense style of play. “Kaitlyn is 

very fast and she can change the 

momentum of a game,’’ Carter 

emphasized. 

The team’s green line, named 

for the shade of its warm-up 

jerseys, consists of sophomore 

Maddy Hornung at center, soph 

Katie McGoff at left wing and 

junior Colleen Reardon at right 

wing (7 goals, 6 assists). All hail 

from Ashland. “They’re good 

skaters, highly skilled, fast, strong 

and have scoring potential,’’ 

Carter noted. 

Carter acknowledges that his 

team is young and has depth, and 

that’s evident with the likes of juniors 

Rae Lambert (Medway left 

wing), Kathryn Johnston (Holliston 

right wing) and Lexi Maher 

(Ashland defenseman) and sophs 

Morgan Perry (Holliston right 

wing) and Meghan Moriarty 

(Ashland center). “Our future 

looks bright with this group,’’ 

Carter said. “Their talent level 

is very good.’’ 

The 50-year-old Carter, who’s 

lived in Medway for 11 years and 

is a vice president of finance for 

Acronis (software company), has 

been the program’s only head 

coach since its inception, and his 

passion for the program is obvious, 

especially when the name of 

the late Maddie Lamson is part 

of the conversation. She died in 

an auto accident last fall. 

“Her loss impacted us on a 

daily basis,’’ he said. “She was a 

great example of why I love this 

program. She had a relentless 

desire to improve and she constantly 

strived to be the best she 

could be. She was a three-year 

player and was a captain.’’

Improvements to Medway Water System 

After many years of deferred capital investment 

in the infrastructure of the Medway water system, 

the current Water & Sewer Commission have been 

working to update and improve the Medway water 

system for the past several years. Current Water & 

Sewer Commissioners include: Chair Robert Wilson, 

Cranston Rogers, and Leo O’Rourke. 

Now, in year five of this phased update the Department 

of Public Services has: replaced all water 

meters in town; replaced the Highland Street tank; 

replaced lines throughout town including Main, 

Village, West, Highland, Adams, and Winthrop 

Streets. Some pipes that were replaced dated back 

to 1911. 

The Water and Sewer Division is charged with 

the operation and maintenance of the Town’s 

water supply, water treatment, water distribution 

and wastewater collection systems. This entails 

oversight of the system’s pumping and treatment 

facilities located at four drinking water well sites. 

Being a groundwater systems, the Town treats its 

raw water with the addition of sodium fluoride 

for dental health, lime for corrosion control and 

sodium hypochlorite for disinfection. All of these 

treatment processes require daily manual monitoring 

by certified staff as well as with the Department’s 

recently installed Supervisory Control 

and Data Acquisition system. Drinking water is 

pumped to two water storage tanks having a combined 

capacity of 2.8 million gallons. 

The wastewater system is comprised of approximately 

forty-four miles of gravity sewer that discharges 

into the treatment facility operated by the 

Charles River Pollution Control District. Through 

its recent sewer extension project, the Department 

now operates and maintains a sewer pump station 

located in the Trotter Drive Industrial Park area. 

Upcoming projects include: 

1. Sewer System Rehabilitation and Repair – 

2016 

2. Design – Brentwood Neighborhood Water 

Main Replacement – 2016 

3. Evaluation & Possible Replacement of 

Water Services in Dean Street, Gable Way, 

Kings Lane Neighborhood – 2016-2017 

4. Holliston Street Water Main Replacement – 

2018 

Note: Due to traffic and transportation concerns, 

the Town is purposefully deferring capital 

construction work located in arterial roadways 

until the completion of the Route 109 Reconstruction 

Project.

Happy Easter


Proposed Town of Medway 

Agricultural Committee 

There are more than 100 municipal agricultural 

committees throughout Massachusetts. As 

an appointed standing committee of the Town 

whose members are engaged in farming, an agricultural 

committee can: 

• Serve as a local voice advocating for the farming 

community. 

• Provide visibility for farming & promotes agricultural 

based economic opportunities. 

• Encourage the pursuit of agriculture. 

• Work to preserve, revitalize and sustain the 

community’s agricultural businesses, its farmland, 

and rural character. 

• Provide a link to sources of technical, educational, 

financial, and business assistance available 

to the farming community. 

• Help mediate farm related problems or conflicts. 

• Work with other Town boards and committees 

about issues facing the Town. 

In March of 2010 a representative from the 

Massachusetts Department of Agriculture spoke 

with town residents at a public meeting called to 

explore the creation of an Agricultural Committee 

in the Town of Medway. At that time there 

was not enough resident interest in serving on 

the committee to justify creating the committee. 

Recently, a resident approached the Board of 

Selectmen with a request to revisit the issue and 

determine if there was sufficient interest in committee 

service at this time. If you would be interested 

in learning more and possibly serving on 

this committee please contact Conservation Agent 

Bridget Graziano at bgraziano@townofmedway.

OUR CLIENTS ARE SPEAKING OUT 

“Jenn is fantastic. I can honestly say we would not have found our current home if it 

wasn’t for Jenn. Jenn is extremely knowledgeable about current market conditions and more 

importantly, extremely honest. She would rather have her clients not buy a house than buy 

the wrong house. We have worked with Jenn for years now and very much recommend her 

to anyone looking for a real estate agent that provides excellent service start to finish.” — 

Derek Ellis, Medway, MA
