During his lifetime, Ben’s voicewasn’t heard. Speaking of her son,who, onApril 16, 2009, at the ageof 18, took his own life, JudyGio-vangelo now realizes that Benwasnot given themeans of creative ex-pression, or a positive outlet for theemotional side effects of his men-tal illness. Themother of three be-lieves he might still be here todayhad he been offered those creativeoptions, and she hopes, throughher neworganization, to save otherchildren from the same fate. BenSpeaks Louder than Words offerschildren alternative ways ofdealing with their anxieties andnegative emotions, in an effortto combat not only teen depres-sion and suicide, but also alcohol

and drug addiction and eatingdisorders.

Suicide was the third leadingcause of death for young peopleaged 15-24 in the United States in2006, according to a National In-stitutes of Health (NIH) report,“Suicide in theU.S.: Statistics andPrevention,” based on statisticsfrom the Center for Disease Con-trol and Prevention (CDC). That’scompared to the eleventh leadingcause of death in the country over-all.Within that age segment,malesare far more likely to die by sui-cide, and for every suicide death,12 to 25 people attempt to commitsuicide. More than nine out of tenpeoplewho die by suicide have therisk factors of depression or othermental disorders or a substance

abuse disorder. According to thereport, “most suicide attempts areexpressions of extreme distress,not harmless bids for attention.”

Ben Giovangelo clearly hadthese risk factors. According toGiovangelo, Ben suffered his

whole lifewith obsessive-compul-sive disorder, severe anxiety disor-der and oppositional defiancedisorder (odd), strugglingwith ex-plosive episodes and brain lock

A group of women founded thechurch in 1905,with the first serv-ices held in the homeofMrs.AnnaHoff.Twoyears later,membershiphad grown to 30. In 1910, groundwas broken for a church building,and by September of 1912, underthe direction of Rev. Guy W.Miner, St. Paul’s Church held itsfirst service.This year, however, onJuly 21, the St. Paul’s EpiscopalChurchwill end its tenure inMillis,

holding the last of three final serv-ices before permanently closing itsdoors.

In a May 21 letter to the congre-gation, the Rt. Rev. Roy F. “Bud”Cederholm Jr., Bishop Suffraganof the Episcopal Diocese of Mas-sachusetts, states, “In consultationwith the Standing Committee andwith the diocesan team that hasbeen working with St. Paul’s as acongregation at risk, and followingan examination of the parish’s di-

minished financial resources, Ihave determined that St. Paul’s isno longer viable andwill close per-manently.” The letter offeredprayers to the congregation andthanks to the vestry’s work to“reverse the decline in attendance,finances and congregationalhealth…”

“I’m heartbroken,” says HelenDaly, one of five vestry membersfor St. Paul’s. “I’ve been amemberof St. Paul’s for 41 years. Not only

has it been my place of worship,but a lot of my friendships werenurtured there. We’ve had friendsmarried there, babies baptizedthere and dear friends buried fromthere.” Daly notes that the loss af-fects the whole town, not just theparishioners.

On behalf of the Giovangelofamily, I would like to publiclythank Medway High School forremembering my son, Benjamin(who took his life last April) atwhat would have been his highschool graduation.

We understand the challenge ofbeing the change we want to seein the world and we are gratefulto Mr. Pearson, the MedwayHigh School principal, for mak-ing a decision that was, perhapsto some, an unfavorable one.

We would also like to thank theentire Class of 2010 and thegreater community of parents fortheir incredible fortitude and sup-port through the past year and es-pecially for the petition youcreated on our behalf. Thanksalso to the many high schoolteachers who signed the petition,and especially, Tim Brandon,Ben’s Special Education teacher,for proudly wearing a BenSpeaks button on this special day.

Special thanks to the class pres-ident of this years graduatingclass, Jimmy Davock, for includ-ing Benjamin in his speech to re-mind us all that he will always bein our hearts, thoughts andprayers. I didn’t know Jimmypersonally, but when I went tothank him after the ceremonies,he expressed deep empathy andoffered his services to the BenSpeaks mission to support us forour big fundraising event on10/10/10 to raise money forMedway High School before hegoes off to pursue his dreams.

Thanks to Erica Krist, our essaywinner for 2010, for her heartfeltexpression of gratitude to me forbeing present at graduation. Shesaid, “It meant a lot to the whole

class to have you there.” Thatstatement meant a lot to me.

This was our family’s final op-portunity to witness a thread ofwhat would have been manymilestones in our boy’s life andsee the handful of kids very closeto Ben and our family move onto the next phase of their ownlives.

Although many may believethat this remembrance was an actof condoning or glorifying sui-cide, I believe instead that itsends a strong message to themany children at risk today —that they, too, will be valued andloved, regardless of their wrongchoices. We have come togetheras a community to model to ourchildren that our greatest goal isto honor the sadness and loss ofeach individual and to supporttheir families, regardless of thecircumstances. I believe we havemade a giant leap in the right di-rection and I am deeply gratefulto this entire community for anincredible act of unity.

Please support Medway HighSchool, The Power Up Founda-tion,www.powerupfoundation.com and Ben Speaks, www.ben-speakslouderthanwords toSTOMP OUT Teen Suicide andaddress the myriad of issues thatlead up to this final act. Togetherwe are hosting a 10K Road Raceand “A Concert To Remember”on 10/10/10, providing our youthwith positive solutions and chan-nels for expression and empow-ering them to be the change theywant to see in the world.

Together, we can make a difference.-Judy Giovangelo

into his teens. She views theirshared history with a critical eye.

“Ben was more creative, artisticas opposed to sports,” says Gio-vangelo. “Rather than helping usdefine and to recognize the beautyof who he was, they immediatelygo to what’s wrong with him. Bythe time he was 8,” she says,“(Ben) was labeled and put onmedication.” Giovangelo admitsher own role in misinterpreting herson’s needs. She went along withineffective approaches because, “Iwas being told it was something Iwas doing wrong, and I had myown insecurities and so acceptedthat.”

Ben’s battle with mental illnessset him apart from other students.“He was bullied, ostracized…mis-understood,” says his mother.“The problem with mental illnessis it’s so subtle,” she says. “Therewere times he could seem very‘normal,’ and at times it seemed hewasn’t.” Despite his social stigma,Ben had finally found some socialacceptance, being invited to hisprom by some other students. “Itwas all he talked about,” she says.Ben had also found solace in mar-ijuana, and when school officialsfound it in his car after havingsmelled it on him, the prom wastaken away. Reacting extremely,Ben went home and hung himselfin his garage.

Giovangelo regrets not havingjoined her husband at the schoolthat day. She feels that her “im-pulsive child was met with impul-sivity.” She hopes that in futurecircumstances like her son’s, adultauthority figures would “take a

deep breath, pause and sit down asa team to discuss what’s in thehighest and best interest of thatchild.” As her daughter, Jenna,puts it, “they think that every kidshould have the same conse-quences. I feel that every kid is dif-ferent, and Ben definitely wasn’tlike the other kids.”

Now, however, Giovangelo feelsa spiritual connection to her sonBen, and she heard a message loudand clear to create C.A.R.E. (Cre-ating Alternative Resources forExpression) Program, which setsinto motion the “Ben Speaks”mission of empowering youngpeople to “be the change theywant to see.” Through C.A.R.E.,Giovangelo uses yoga, meditationand expressive arts to teach self-awareness, as well as “STOMP ITOUT” workshops for children toexpress their negative emotions.Giovangelo provides motivationalspeeches at schools and commu-nity centers. Her aim is to bringawareness to negative behaviorsand to then provide positive solu-tions for dealing with stresses.

Ben Speaks also aims to providean interactive website for children.Giovangelo invites students sheaddresses to take part in “Handsand Feet Across America,” an artproject where students expresstheir journey toward positivechange by creating a paper handand foot, to provide a “visual rep-resentation of the power of inten-tion (Hands) and moving intoaction (Feet).”

Giovangelo addresses thescoffers, who resist the concept ofalternative or spiritual therapy.Noting that parents supply theirchildren with food and shelter, sheadds that openness to emotional

expression and spirituality can be atool for those experiencing de-pression or other mental issues,“Why wouldn’t you give yourchild the tools he needs to healhimself?” she asks.

October 10 (10.10.10) will marktwo events to benefit Ben Speaks.Giovangelo refers to it as “one day2 STOMP out bullying, drug andalcohol addiction, teen suicide anddepression.” The day’s fundraisingevents will begin at 10 a.m. with a10K Road Race at Medway HighSchool, 88 Summer Street. Thiswill include a relay option for run-ners. For more information on theroad race and registration, visitwww.powerupfoundation.com.

The second fundraiser for “BenSpeaks” on October 10, A Concertto Remember, will run from 4-6p.m. The concert’s goals are tobring the community together tohonor and remember those lostthrough tragedy. It will also in-clude a candle-lighting ceremony,and Giovangelo invites those whowould like to honor a lost lovedone to contact her directly. Theconcert will be held at the NewEngland Chapel, 40 KenwoodCircle, in Franklin. Tickets are $25per adult, $15 for children under10 and adult 65 and older. For ad-vance tickets, send a checkpayable to “Ben Speaks,” 144Main Street, Medway, MA 02053.

provide access to those with dis-abilities, has not only been a meet-ing place for its congregation, butit has also opened its halls to manycivic and scout groups within thetown. For 47 years, the church heldits annual “Peter Pumpkin’s Fair.”St. Paul’s has also been the homeof Big Bird’s Nest Nursery Schoolfor over 30 years, which, nowunder the direction of Stacey Gian-cioppo, will be moving to a newhome at the Glen Ellen CountryClub in the fall.

“It’s just a sad situation,” notesPaula Fraser, a former member ofSt. Paul’s who saw both of her chil-dren confirmed and her daughtermarried at the church. Fraser alsospent over 30 years teaching at BigBird’s Nest. “I feel bad that thechurch is not going to be a churchanymore. It seems a waste. I thinkthey should come up with some so-lution to preserve it and keep it achurch.” She adds that the congre-gation there has always been asmall one.

“I think it was decided because ofthe lack of funds,” says Daly, whoadds, “We had two buildings tosupport and we just didn’t have theincome to match the budget.”

According to Tracy Sukraw, Di-rector of Communications for theEpiscopal Diocese of Massachu-setts, what will happen with theproperty has yet to be determined.“Our first priority is to deal withpastoral issues and final services togive people a sense of closure,”says Sukraw.

The vestry at St. Paul’s decidedon three closing services:

The first will be held on June 27,at 9:30 a.m., which will be held by Rev. Rebecca Black, with a re-ception for her and her family following.

The second will be held on July11, at 9:30 a.m. This will allowmembers an opportunity to gatherfor prayer, Communion and fel-lowship with a guest priest,

The final service, open to mem-bers, past members, friends of theparish over the years, and deaneryand diocesan clergy and lay peo-ple, will take place on July 21, at 7 pm. Bishop Bud Cederholm willgive the sermon.

Imagine being paid to go back toschool, and at Harvard University,to boot. That’s exactly the oppor-tunity Millis journalist MichaelFitzgerald has been awarded.Fitzgerald, a married father of twoboys, is one of 25 journalistsworldwide, 11 from the UnitedStates and 14 from abroad, to re-ceive this year’s Nieman Fellow-ship. The program will allowFitzgerald, and his wife, Lark, as aNieman affiliate, to audit any classat Harvard, upon approval by the

professor, for one year.

The Nieman Foundation beganin 1937, following Agnes WahlNieman’s gift of $1 million to Har-vard to “promote and elevate thestandards of journalism and edu-cate persons deemed especiallyqualified for journalism.” Althoughthen Harvard President JamesBryant Conant considered wel-coming newspapermen, manywithout college educations, “a du-bious experiment,” Nieman alumniwent on to win a combined 94Pulitzer prizes.

Fitzgerald, who will begin Au-gust 23, considers himself lucky tobe entering “really the best club injournalism,” because the chance tostudy will “deepen my reportingand make me a better journalist.”For two months in 2007, the writerwas a Templeton-Cambridge Jour-nalism Fellow at Cambridge Uni-versity in England. Fitzgeraldfound the experience to broadenhis understanding of a series oftopics, which, he says, “got methinking about things in a differentway and sparked some new kindsof writing that really took my ca-reer in a new direction. I’ve learnedthat these things can be very valu-able in ways that are not tangible,but nonetheless real.”

The 2011 Nieman Fellow holdsa degree in History from the Uni-versity of Chicago. His work, fo-cused on business and technology,has won numerous awards, and his articles and columns have appeared in publications fromComputerworld to The New YorkTimes. Having written about “innova-tions of many sorts,” the Albion,Mich. native would particularlylike to become more versed in the

process of entrepreneurial innova-tion and the field of behavioraleconomics. “Oftentimes,” saysFitzgerald, “I’ve felt if I had knownmore about innovation and the his-tory of innovation, I’d have beenwriting a better column.” In hiscase, he says, Harvard is a perfectfit, because it brings together a di-verse set of economists who lookat entrepreneurs, innovation andpolicy.

Fitzgerald’s status as a NiemanFellow will require a lifestylechange. Nieman fellows are for-bidden to do any professional

work for the duration of their fel-lowship. They are also expected tolive in the Cambridge area whileclasses are in session and are re-quired to participate in Niemanseminars and events. These in-clude weekly dinners and regularseminars, some for the sake of be-coming better acquainted withother fellows and some designedto stimulate intellectual discussionamong the journalists. In addition,fellows undertake writing coursesand multimedia workshops.

Have you wondered about yogaand its benefits? Think yoga is toodifficult or not for you? Are youafraid to try something new?

This year, make a pledge to putyourself first, and make a plan tocreate a better you. In addition toincreased strength, flexibility andenergy, the practice of yoga givesyou the best present of all: time foryou to relax and strive for balancein your busy life.

Yoga is more than contortingyourself into funny positions andchanting. Yoga is living a healthylifestyle, a place to think abouthow the body, mind and spirit re-spond to hectic schedules. Youwill learn how breathing impactsyour overall well being, and howto nurture yourself and relievechronic health problems such asmigraines, back problems, and de-pression. It is this careful self-study and commitment to yourselfthat is the biggest gift you can give

yourself: the gift of health.

In each session, you will learnyoga poses (“asanas”), how tobreathe deeper, relax more, and bemore aware of your body, creating“yoga” or “unity.” Whether youare a stay-at-home mom, land-scaper or bodybuilder, yoga willhelp you achieve harmony in yourwork, play, and relationships – thatis also the art of yoga.

A typical yoga class starts with aquiet room and few moments ofconnection and deep breathing,followed by gentle movements towarm your body. You are guidedthrough a series of yoga poses,constantly noting your breathingand adjusting your alignment. It isthrough this process of self-aware-ness that you will begin to becomemore aware of the interplay be-tween your posture, alignment,and breath.

As the minutes fly by, you willnotice strong sensations in yourarms and legs. As the sensations

build, emotions even out and thebrain begins to quiet. At this point,you become more aware of yourbody and feel grounded and cen-tered. You also learn to deepenyour breath to increase staminaand release unnecessary tension,relaxing and focusing on breathrather than thoughts and emotions.(A great life lesson.)

With proper breathing and sim-ple adjustments, you may be sur-prised to see how strong you are,how long you can really hold thepose, and how quickly you are in-creasing your strength and en-durance. You may even findyourself dropping into a meditativestate, where the feeling of strength

and the capacity to hold becomesblissful. Some people find that asheat and energy wash over you,you may even hesitate to leave thepose. When you finally release,you may also feel an empoweringsense of having tested yourself,and moved beyond your comfortzone into new territory. Yogateaches you that you are capable ofmore than you ever imagined.

Outside the studio, students findthey are better equipped to faceany challenge that comes theirway, whether in the workplace orat home. A deep cleansing breathand a moment to focus on yourchallenge will certainly help youmove forward with renewed confi-

dence and trust. Yoga also teachesyou the consequences of pushingyourself too hard, and a yoga classgives you time and permission toslow down and nurture yourself.

Most of all, I encourage you totake the leap and challenge your-self to try yoga simply because itis an ancient practice that appealsto modern lifestyles. The practiceof yoga is a gift to yourself, an in-vestment in your mind, body andspirit that will pay dividends in allaspects of your life.

Medway Military and Civic Leader Honored with DedicationMonument Square Renamed for Retired Col. Michael F. MatondiBY J.D. O’GARA

If for some reason you hadn’t no-ticed, something is different aboutMonument Square in Medway. OnMemorial Day, the square, acrossfrom Medway Town Hall, at theintersection of Holliston Street andVillage Street, was named in honorof retired Army Colonel MichaelF. Matondi.

“It was a very humbling momentfor me in my life,” says the 90-year-old retired Colonel. “I’m veryhonored to have this in my name. Itake pride in the fact that mymother and father —they were im-migrants who came over to thiscountry — that their name is upthere. I think that means more tome than anything else, and for mypeers who served and were killedfor their country.”

Following in the footsteps of hisfather, who served in the U.S.Army in WWI, Col. Matondi

began his military career right outof high school in 1938, when heenlisted in the Massachusetts Na-tional Guard. In 1941, when WorldWar II broke out, he was called toactive duty, where he was laterpromoted to Platoon Sergeant. Fol-lowing Officer’s CandidateSchool, Matondi would eventuallyreceive the rank of second lieu-tenant in the 78th division, andfrom 1943-1946 he served as afirst lieutenant and captain. Ma-tondi retired with the rank ofColonel.

Matondi, a lifelong Medway res-ident, has also achieved a greatmany civic accomplishments in hislife. He has served as the Chair-man of Medway’s Memorial Dayexercises for what he says is “50 orso years.” (It’s actually 64.) GrandMarshall each year at Medway’sMemorial Day Parade, Matondihas overseen dedications of the

WWII monument, the V.F.W.Town Mill Field, the EdmundChairman Field, and the VietnamWar Monument for the town. Inaddition, Matondi has raised fundsfor several town organizations overthe years, including but not limitedto the Medway Alumni Associa-tion, the New England WheelchairClippers, the Holy Name Society,and the United Fund Drive for theBrockton V.A. Hospital. He evensecured donations for Medway’sfirst ambulance, initiating a train-ing program for drivers.

Mr. Matondi notes that his greatpride in civic duty is thanks to hisparents, Fortunato and Emilia Ma-tondi “My parents were great citi-zens,” he says, “I feel very stronglyabout community, and I’ve beenblessed with many friends who’vehelped me out in my achieve-ments.”

Despite those achievements andthe distinction he has received,Matondi is quick to point out thatthe purpose of Col. Michael F. Ma-tondi Square is first and foremostto honor his fallen fellow soldiers.“The park is in my name, but it’sin honor of those who served,” saidMatondi.

Colonel Michael F. Matondi, AUS (Ret.) is pictured on left with Medway Selectman Dennis Crowley. Monument Square was renamed for theColonel in honor of fallen U.S. soldiers.

Millis LANConnectSystems Recycles PCsfor CharityForty local area businesses did adoubly good deed on June 2, whenthey gathered in Millis to recycletheir old computer equipmentwhile benefiting a local charity.LANConnect Systems, Inc., a fullservice information technologycompany on Main Street, invitedparticipants to ditch the trash andrecycle their old computer equip-ment, such as LCD & CRT moni-tors, CPU towers, printers andlaptops. Rather than charge for thisservice, LANConnect accepteddonations of food items to benefitthe Medway Food Pantry. Contrib-utors donated almost 250 poundsof canned and boxed food, as wellas other items for donation to thecause.

The various components insidecomputer equipment are highlytoxic to the environment. The haz-ardous materials may include lead,mercury and chromium, which, ifdisposed of improperly, may be re-leased into the environment. Inrecognition of this danger, LAN-Connect launched this event,which also included food, drink,raffles and networking, to not onlykeep this equipment from reachingour landfills, but also to assist localfood pantries during a time of yearnot traditionally high in donations.

BY CHRISTOPHER CHARRON

QUESTION: I have a fewfriends encouraging me to buy or-ganic. There are obviously twosides to every story, so I’d love tohear your take on the pros andcons of organic foods.

ANSWER: There is definitelyan ongoing debate about whetheryou should eat organic foods ornot. Some say eating organic is ano-brainer because of the potentialingestion of hormones, antibiotics,pesticides and other dubious addi-tives found in conventionallygrown foods. On the other hand,some argue that organic foods aresimilar in nutritional quality, yetthey cost more and aren’t all thataccessible. Here’s the real deal. Al-though it’s true that organic foodsare more expensive, there is a le-gitimate reason for the added cost.More care, time, and money gointo growing organic crops, andthose costs are typically passed onto the consumer (much like prod-ucts in other industries). Even ifthey are more expensive, manyfolks would argue that the addedcost is worth it because organicfoods are healthier for you.Though this may seem logical,there really isn’t a lot of researchto back up this claim. Several stud-ies tout the benefits of eating morefruits and vegetables regardless ofhow they’re grown. If the nutri-tional quality of the food doesn’tsway you, there’s also this idea thatorganic farming is better for theenvironment. This may be true, butyou need to remember to buy lo-cally-grown foods. If you happento live in California, but your or-ganic produce is grown in Florida,you’re doing more harm than goodfrom an environmental perspec-

tive. Bottom line—if you can af-ford it, and you can buy local, gofor it! If you do decide to make theswitch, focus on purchasing thesefoods first: peaches, apples, sweetbell peppers, celery, nectarines,strawberries, cherries, lettuce, im-ported grapes, pears, spinach, andpotatoes. These are known as the“Dirty Dozen” and generally havethe highest concentrations of pes-ticides.

QUESTION: I just joined agym, but I’m a little lost as to whatI should be doing. Someone sug-gested getting a personal trainer,but they can be pricey. Is hiring atrainer worth it?

ANSWER: Absolutely! Theright personal trainer can literallytransform your life. They’re thereto educate, motivate, and inspire,and frankly, that’s worth its weightin gold. From goal setting andproper exercise form to programdesign and diet advice, trainerswill have the answers. The bestpart is that trainers offer accounta-bility, friendship, and a much-needed support system as youembark on your wellness journey.Let’s face it—we all struggle withgetting to the gym now and then.But trainers can make working outa lot of fun, and they can challengeyou consistently, which will ulti-mately get you better results. Lookat it this way…if your car needs tobe fixed, you take it to a mechanicbecause they know what they’redoing. The same can be said foryour body. Take care of it as bestyou can, and if you need help, seekout an expert. Just make sure theyhave solid credentials, and a strongbackground in fitness, kinesiology,strength and conditioning, orsports medicine.

QUESTION: Everyone seemsto do something different when itcomes to carbs, proteins, and fats.Some advocate higher carb, somehigher protein, and some very lowfat. How do I know who’s right?

ANSWER: This is a greatquestion, and a somewhat difficultone to answer, since it really de-pends on your goals. Keep inmind, there is an AcceptableMacronutrient Distribution Range(AMDR) for each macronutrient.Generally speaking, you shouldshoot for 45-65% carbohydrate,20-35% fat, and 10-35% protein.If you’re an athlete or you’re fo-cused on the cardio end of the ex-ercise spectrum, then you shouldbe more liberal with your carb in-take, while getting adequate pro-tein and fat. If you’re focused onstrength training and you’re look-ing to add mass and size, you’d bewise to aim for 50% carbohydrate,25% protein, and 25% fat. If youwant to lose weight, it may be ad-visable to decrease carbohydrateintake (to a level of 40-45%), andthen slightly increase healthy pro-tein and fat consumption. Again,the recommendations above aregeneralities, and, of course, thefocus should be on consumingwhole grains, unsaturated fats, andlean proteins whenever possible.As always, if you need more per-sonalized recommendations, talkto a certified personal trainer or aregistered dietitian.

New Massachusetts Law Takes Effect For All Homeowners Who Use

Fuel Oil to Heat Their Home

July 1, 2010 Compliance Deadline is Here! Medway– The Commonwealth of Massa-chusetts enacted a new law which requires an upgrade of your home’s heating system to prevent leaks from tanks and pipes that connect to your furnace. The upgrade con-sists of installing a new line with a continu-ous non-metallic sleeve or installing an oil safety valve. This new law takes effect as of July 1, 2010. “This law helps to protect your home and the environment,” said Jeffrey Mushnick, President of Medway Oil Company. “Once the oil heat system is compliant with the law, the homeowner can purchase optional pollution insurance from their insurance provider. The law is designed to prevent undetected leaks and also to keep home-owners safe. It helps protect our ground water as well.” Homeowners should note that this law does not apply to owners who have had fuel sup-ply lines or an oil safety valve installed or

upgraded on or after January 1, 1990. Such a system must, however, be certified by a licensed oil burner technician in order to meet the requirements of the law. Cleaning up an oil leak can cost as much as $15,000 for a simple leak to upwards of $250,000 for a leak that seeps into the ground. A new, compliant oil line under $385 in most cases. “We have been install-ing new fuel oil lines for our customers to ensure compliance and keep them safe, “ continued Mr. Mushnick. “Of course, we welcome the opportunity to provide this same service to new customers. Those who rely on oil discounters are the most at risk, since they provide no service, and should call Medway Oil at (508)533-6561 for im-mediate attention on this matter.” Homeowner can read the law’s entire fact sheet at www.medwayoil.com or they can refer to MGL, Chapter 453, Section 3 of the Acts of 2008 at the state’s website.

BY J.D. O’GARA

Residents of Millis packed Mil-lis High School on June 14, manyof them coming to vote on Article34, a decision on a $5 million over-ride, which, along with a $2.7 mil-lion grant from the MassachusettsBoard of Library Commissioners,would help fund a new library inMillis. After more than four swel-tering hours, residents publicly de-bated the issue, with a finalstanding count vote of 663, orabout 81% of voters for the over-ride and 152, or about 19%,against.

The day after the vote, TriciaPerry, Director of the Millis Li-brary was on the telephone to theMassachusetts Board of LibraryCommissioners (MBLC), to get

the contract signing process for ac-cepting the grant money com-pleted on time. Millis had until

June 15 to accept the grant, but itcould not proceed without a “yes”vote for the override. Perry says

she was “touched” by the outpour-ing of support at what she termeda “quintessential New Engand

town meeting.”

“What I came away with wasthat the variety and strength of theconnection within this community.Every single person (speaking insupport of the library) in that townmeeting came from a differentplace, but they came, and theywere making the case for the li-brary as their common center andas a common benefit,” said Perry.

Young children gathered outsidethe Millis Public Library middaythe following Friday, holding signsthanking Millis residents for pass-ing the override. “I feel fortunateto work in a community wherepre-school children have a voiceand are encouraged to be a part ofa process like this. After all, it istheir library as much as anyoneelse's.” says Millis Children’s Li-brarian Laura Grant.

The library will now move for-ward on a contractual end, whichaccording to Perry will be a“somewhat lengthy process.” Oncethe MBLC contract is signed, thetown will hire an Owners ProjectManager, a person who will workwith the permanent building com-mittee to put together a Request forQualifications (RFQ). The RFQwill be used to solicit bids from ar-chitects for the design of the newlibrary. Perry expects that the li-brary will wait an estimated twoyears or so before they are in thenew building.

The MBLC grant was originallygeared toward a 20,000 square-foot, two-floor design created byStrekalovsky Hoit Raymond LLC.Perry and the Millis LibraryTrustees reviewed these originalplans and lobbied for a less expen-sive, 17,800 square-foot, one-storystructure on the footprint of theoriginal plan. Now, an architectwill be needed to create the actualdesign for the smaller library.

According to Perry, certain com-ponents that are essential to the de-sign will be maintained, and thelibrary will be able to man the newlibrary with existing staff.

That number of staff should besafe from cuts this year, anyway,since the library’s budget was ap-proved at town meeting. Perry hasbeen heartened by the “connectiv-ity” within the Millis communityto “to make their town a betterplace.” “That’s what I think it wasabout,” she says.

Millis boys’ 14-16 year oldsteam is off to a strong 7–0 start.Anchored by six home runs byDerek Bauer, Millis has had solidbats all season. Frank Malzone hasan over .600 On Base Percentageand has reached base in everygame, multiple times in five ofseven games.

Jamie Breed, the big man in themiddle of the lineup, is an intimi-dating presence who swings a bigbat as highlighted by his multiplehit game against Dover/Sherborn(DS) 2. Zach Main’s bat has beenas steady as they come for the Mil-lis team, highlighted by his back-to-back multi-hit efforts against

Medfield 1 and DS 2.

Christian Picardi has been creat-ing havoc on the basepaths, scor-ing the game tying run in thebottom of the 7th with two outsagainst a very good Medfield 1team. Josh Straznick has beenstarting to get hot at the plate,bringing a 3 game hitting streak tothe table in his last 3 games.

Mike Kozak has been the leaderand ace of a pitching staff that isgiving up an average of just over 3runs per game. As the elder states-man on the team, Derek Hopkinshas taken on a leadership rolealong with playing excellent base-ball, highlighted by his pitching ef-fort against Medfield 4 with acomplete game. Derek Latosek’s

defense at shortstop has been out-standing, as well as playing therole of closer.

Jesse Ricker has been a quiet in-fluence on the field, but his defenseat first base speaks volumes, withtwo great defensive plays to gowith two stolen bases against Ash-land 2. Matt Sullivan’s strengthhas been his error less defense atsecond base and even pitching acouple of strong innings againstDS 2.

Chris Baker has been the “Swissarmy knife” of the Millis team,playing 6 different positions, witha stellar game behind the plateagainst Holliston 1, throwing out 3base runners. Stephen Smith is an-other player who has done almost

everything for the Millis team,playing multiple positions alongwith pitching a good game againsta tough Medfield 1 team.

Andrew Santa Fe, has found ahome in the outfield, showing hisrange against Holliston #1 withtwo plays making catches on therun and then throwing frozen ropesback into the infield. BayleyTangney’s defense, a steadyingforce for the pitching staff behindhome plate, has been second tonone.

The team is coached by MikeCaulfield, Frank Malzone andMitch Donehey.

Playing together and hard workas a team throughout youth sum-mer baseball sure pays off!

Cub Scout Seamus Frawley properly disposes of a worn U.S. flag on FlagDay, as Millis Pack Leader Peter Thisse looks on. Both Boy Scouts and GirlScouts participated in this event at the American Legion Post 208.

Act locally. Think globally. Justwhat that means is what one third-grade Millis class learned this year,when one positive change theyworked to make turned into a big-ger one. Eight and nine-year-oldsfrom Mrs. Jaclyn Mellin’s Spanishimmersion class at the Clyde F.Brown Elementary took a goodlook at our environment this year.They learned about what decom-poses, making compost in theirclassroom; they learned about whatdoesn’t decompose, and found theyneeded to look no further than theirown school cafeteria. The Styro-foam trays they tossed out everyday, they realized, would never de-compose, They decided to take ac-tion.

“In a century or so, there’s goingto be, like, Styrofoam all over the

place or something,” says BrielleCurley, age 9. Her classmate, SaraSchildwachter, also 9, added“They’ll end up in wastelands, andit’s not healthy for the Earth.”

The students got to work writingletters to Mr. Eli Norris, the Direc-tor of Food Services for ChartwellsInc., which oversees school cafete-rias in both Millis and Medway. Tohelp make their point, theymounted the letters on the backs ofthe Styrofoam plates used in thecafeteria. The letters, which askedMr. Norris to consider usingbiodegradable materials for thesetrays, were packed up and sent in alarge box. “My neighbor said youprobably won’t get them to changeit,” adds Sara.

The point, however, did get acrossto Mr. Norris, who personally vis-

ited Mrs. Mellin’s class to addressthe issue with students. He ex-plained that paper boats were usedfor the upperclassmen, but the lessflimsy Styrofoam trays had beenassumed to work better for youngerelementary students. He told themthat he would like to try the paperversions with the younger set, ifMrs. Mellin’s class would act as apilot group, trying the trays out andrecording how well they worked.

“It felt hard,” said Anna Pasquan-tonio, age 9, “We worked for liketwo months to get all the informa-tion we needed.” The childrenfound that certain foods, especiallythose without sauces, worked betterthan others. Chicken pattiesworked well; ravioli didn’t. Using ascale of 1-5, the children rated howwell each food worked on the

paper boats. They made graphs outof their findings and provided theinformation to Mr. Norris.

Mr. Norris once again visited theclass, this time accompanied by hissupervisor. He explained that notonly would Millis implement thechange to paper, but also that hewould be pushing for the change tobe made in 14 other school dis-tricts.

“I kind of felt really proud of my-self,” said Maddie Comisky, age 9,“because our teacher was telling usthat we’re just third graders, andnow we have 14 different schooldistricts and changing the environ-ment. It feels really nice.”

Mrs. Mellin is not a stranger tosocial activism. Prior to her posi-tion at Clyde Brown, she was anenvironmental education volunteerfor three different rural schools inNicaragua, teaching different chil-dren in grades 3-6 as well as theirteachers. “I thought it was great totake what I did in Nicaragua andapply it here,” said Mellin. “We didour part. We can sleep at nightknowing we did our best to help inthe environment.”

Asked what he learned from theexperience, Logan Hornbeck, age9, replies, ”At least try your best todo whatever you can. Try to solvethe problem.”
