“Medfield has actually hadathletes participate in the North

Attleboro games they’ve had inthe past several years. As acommunity, we thought, would-

with special Ed representativesfrom the surrounding towns. Igot feedback, (saying) wouldn’tit be great if we collaborated onthis?” he says.

LaCava says that the groupplans to hold the first games inMedfield, with a basketballtheme this year, but then, hesays, he hopes to see it rotate toeach of the five participatingtowns.

the saddle and get any opportunity tobe around and soak up all I couldabout horses. By high school, I hadthree horses that I cared for andcompeted and also started givingfriends riding lessons. This is whenI found that my passion was not onlyabout horses, but also sharing it withothers.”

Price, then Melissa Holt, majoredin equine studies and minored inpsychology while continuing towork in barns and show at the inter-collegiate level as well as in showsin New England. After graduating,she taught horseback Medway.When the owners decided to sell,Melissa bought the school horsesand started on her own, leasing barnsto do so. Then, in 1982, at just 25,Melissa bought the scenic FarmStreet property and had her barnbuilt, which offers an indoor ring.

The goal of Shadowfax Farm is an

environment for students and board-ers that is friendly, caring, compas-sionate and professional.

“We believe in teaching horseman-ship as well as riding,” says Price.“All levels and ages are encouragedto care for horses and learn to ride attheir own pace and reach individualgoals. I've always kept my rates aslow as possible to try to give every-one a chance to afford the positiveexperiences from these magnificentanimals.”

Price says what she enjoys most is“seeing horses and riders flourishand gain confidence.” From trail rid-ing to winning at national levels, shesays, all Shadowfax students gainconfidence in learning to care forand love horses, and many of herformer students have gone into theequine field to become trainers, rid-ers and vets.

In addition to private and grouplessons and classes through the Mil-lis recreation department, Shadow-

fax will be running a horsemanshipprogram the week of July 8ththrough 12th, from 9 a.m. –1 p.m.for ages 5+. Children will ride everyday, learn horsemanship, do arts andcrafts plus other fun activities likescavenger hunts around the farm.The cost is $400 for the week, witha $100 deposit due on sign up. If in-terested, call Melissa at (508) 826-4996. For more information, visitwww.shadowfaxltd.com.

This is Tony Khoury’s story…

Tony, an engineer and entrepreneur, is a man with creative ideas and big dreams. So, when he shared his plans with Charles River Bank to transform the old buildings in Bellingham Center into a new retail and office complex – Khoury Plaza – we helped him achieve his dream. Commercial Lender Peter Rizzo understood the challenges and worked with Tony to create a YOUnique financing plan.

Tony and Charles River Bank built a level of trust and understanding while working on the Khoury Plaza. We designed a package of banking services that specifically meets his financial needs. So, it was natural that Tony chose to work with Peter again when he established Gateway Liquors.

At Charles River Bank, building personal connections and powerful solutions defines who we are.

Tony’s experience is just one YOUnique story. Together we can write yours.

Rising Star Equestrian Center Helps Riders Find DirectionKathy Haas Ogonowski hasbeen riding horses since shewas 10. The owner and headtrainer at the Rising StarEquestrian Center knew thiswas what she wanted to do,even when she went to busi-ness school. She can tell youthe exact amount of time shespent in the career of financialanalyst, one that didn’t suither.

“Three years, two monthsand fifteen days later, I quitmy career to come back tohorses,” she laughs. HaasOgonowski credits her father,an entrepreneur in the steeldistribution industry, with giv-ing her the moral support,confidence and encourage-ment to go into business forherself.

When she came back tohorses, then, the equestrianvowed not to lose herselfagain. “I wanted a placewhere kids could be kids,where people could love thewhole horsemanship aspectof riding. There’s more to itthan just hopping on and rid-ing around. It’s what youlearn about yourself as you

take care of an animal,Horses ground you. Whenyou’re with them, you have tolet the outside world go.” shesays. “It’s a sport where youget physically and emotion-ally fit.”

Rising Star Equestrian Cen-ter welcomes adults as wellas children for riding lessons,hoping to promote the bondbetween these animals andtheir riders/caretakers.

Many of Rising Star ridershave qualified for and placedin local and national finals. ItsInterscholastic Equestrian As-sociation (IEA) team, com-prised of high school andjunior high school age riders,welcomes riders from bothpublic and private schools intoa sport that was once the bas-tion of only private academies.It’s also home to the WellesleyCollege IHSA team.

Rising Star Equestrian Cen-ter boasts a 50-stall, heatedbarn with a 75’ x 280’ indoorring. The furnace, accordingto Haas Ogonowski, makes abig difference in the winter,keeping the observation and

grooming stall areas and of-fices comfortable. Before theyinstalled the heaters, she says,“There were winters where, ina two-month period, I had toshut down for four weeks.Now, having the heat, peoplewant to keep going. It’s still apleasant experience.” Thebarn also has built-in lockersfor boarders’ use.

The 13-acre farm, whichHaas Ogonowski purchased atage 32, also includes two siz-able outdoor rings and a one-acre pond with a bridle patharound it.

You can visit the Center’swebsite at www.risingstare-questriancenter.com. RisingStar is open seven days aweek, from 8 a.m. – 9 p.m.Monday through Friday and 8a.m. – 6 p.m. on weekends. InApril, from April 15th-19th,Rising Star is offering a campfrom 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at $400a week. Summer programs atthe same rate and times arealso offered the weeks of June24-28th, July 8th-12th and22nd-26th and August 5th-9thand 19th-23rd. Call (508) 533-8551 for more information.

Medway Gets LED StreetlightsBY J.D. O’GARA

Mid-March saw a greening ofMedway streetlights, as the townused money leftover from a De-partment of Energy Resources(DOER) grant to change out tra-ditional bulbs to LED bulbs.

“We are a green community,”says Dave D’Amico, Deputy Di-rector, “so we are replaced street-lights on all of Summer Street andpart of Holliston Street, from Vil-lage to Kelly Street. We had a littlemoney leftover from the grant, sowe chose to do this as a pilot proj-ect.”

D’Amico estimates that the townwill save about $1,300 a year on

electricity costs. He says there’sno doubt that the lights will look alot different from the old ones.

“The regular ones have an or-angey glow. These are white.There’s no mistaking the differ-ence. We’re anxious to hear frompeople what they think, and we’llsee if we want to continue, to dothe rest of town,” says D’Amico.He adds that it would cost another$150,000 to change the remainderof the streetlights to LED’s.

Medway residents are encour-aged to give their feedback to theDepartment of Public Servicesthrough the link on the town web-site, www.townofmedway.org.

The Millis Bandstand effort ishalfway there, thanks to a commu-nity effort to preserve the historicstructure. A successful turkeyshoot, raffle and individual dona-tions from some Millis residents

and former residents who live asfar as Florida have raised abouthalf of what is needed to fully ren-ovate and restore the bandstand,according to local resident “SaveOur Bandstand” committee mem-ber Bonnie McBride.

“The community response tosaving the bandstand has beenvery supportive, with many resi-dents sharing their memories ofconcerts and events held at thebandstand through the years,”says McBride.

In an effort to keep the projectwithin its time frame, the “SaveOur Bandstand” committee hasapproached the CommunityPreservation Committee to requestfunds to complete the project. Thiswill be voted on at Town Meetingin May.

Currently, thanks to a donationof shingles, a new roof is nearlycomplete. Once the weatherwarms up, more work will becompleted, including replacingthe supports and railings withsteel, a new ceiling, new granitesteps, an interior light, and power-washing of the stones.

In addition, the town plans toclear away brush and some treelimbs to give better sight lines, anda camera will also be set up, point-ing at the bandstand to catch anyvandalism or illicit activity, saysMcBride.

For his senior project, ZacharyMaltinsky is organizing a concertto be held on Saturday April 27,from 12 p.m. – 4 p.m., with a raindate of April 28. As of the writingof this piece, confirmed acts in-clude Lansing Station, Lil’ Jed &the Phat Daddies, the Millis High

Saddle Rowe: Love of Horses Runs in the FamilyJoe Lombard’s parents boughtthe property now known as SaddleRowe when it was “brand new,”says Lombard. Back then, theproperty, located at 73 OaklandStreet, was a “regular farm, withvegetables in the summer, and therest of the year chickens, cows andpigs,” says Lombard. “We did thatfor years.”

In 1970, however, thingschanged.

“My wife, June, and I were intohorses, so we moved down hereand started a horse farm,” saysLombard, who also operatesCorinthian Insurance with his son,Scott. They built an indoor ridingarena in 1971, and now, his twodaughters, Tina Geoghegan andCindy Van der Meer, run opera-tions and provide lessons, alongwith five other instructors.

“We’ve been along for a longtime. It’s family run, and it’s prob-ably one of the bigger facilities,”says Tina, who explains that Sad-dle Rowe has been fortunateenough to host shows and compe-titions.

The facility has a very roomy in-door ring, outdoor rings, and abarn that houses about 55 horses,with heated grooming stations andlockers for boarders. Overlookingthe indoor ring is a comfortableviewing space, complete withbenches, couches and even a TV.In fact, Saddle Rowe has hostedbirthday parties up in this area.

As for instruction, both childrenand adults are welcome, says Tina.

“The sport is so great,” says Tina.“It teaches the kids they have toshow compassion for animals, thatit’s hard work, with a lot of respon-

sibility to support the horses, andit’s a sport you can do until your70s and 80s.”

In addition to lessons and beinga boarding facility, Saddle Rowealso has 27 kids enrolled in its IEAteams.

This summer, Saddle Rowe of-fers summer horsemanship pro-grams for five different weeks.Students will learn stable manage-ment techniques such as tacking,feeding, grooming and showpreparation as well as have the op-portunity to take lessons, trail ride,and play games.

For more information, visitwww.saddlerowe.com or look forSaddle Rowe on Facebook. Formore information on lesson forthose aged 6 and up, call (508)533-7108.

The event was sponsored by Medway300 as part of the tercentennial activities.

BY JANE LEBAK

If Astro Boy, Commander Dataor Wall-E set your heart aflutter,you'll definitely want to celebrateNational Robotics Week fromApril 6th to April 14th. NationalRobotics Week promotes aware-ness of the importance of technol-ogy in education, and roboticsevents are designed to encouragestudents to explore ways they canuse technology to solve problems.

Even though it's only been on thecalendar since 2010, in 2012 Na-tional Robotics Week had over 160participating events, with all fiftystates represented.

Millis is no stranger to robotics.Woodside Montessori has had arobotics program since 1999,mostly involving Lego Mind-storm, and this year has a juniorFIRST LEGO League (FLL) teamfor students in kindergarten to thirdgrade, and also a regular FLL teamfor 4th to 8th graders.

Director of Woodside Montes-sori, Kathleen Gasbarro is enthu-siastic about robotics as a part ofher students' education. "It reallyengages kids, especially the prob-lem-solving piece. That's the mostimportant reason I bring it to the

school." Robotics isn't just an add-on at Woodside: "We also have integrated into the regular curricu-lum a robotics portion." Last yearthe elementary students wereusing robotics and fractals, whilethis year they worked with roboticsand variables.

This year's project involved theelderly and Montessori techniques.Partnering with the Millis Depart-ment Of Aging, the students re-searched Alzheimer's and createda "Montessori In A Box" to pro-vide caregivers with Montessoritools that could help their clients.Their project has received the firstplace Inspiration Award in theCore Values category at the FIRSTLego League robotics competi-tion.

FIRST also runs FIRST RoboticsCompetition, a different track thanFLL and designed for older stu-dents. This is the program we findat Millis High School.

Sophomore Harris Wypyszinski,is participating in his second yearof robotics at the high school.Wypyszinski explains, "Everyyear, we take six and half weeks tobuild a robot that can do some-thing that's related to a game." The

specifics are kept under cover untilJanuary, when all the teams aretold at once. "This year our tasksare to shoot Frisbees at targets, andclimb up a pyramid. We're focus-ing mainly on climbing the pyra-mid."

Once the team has their assign-ment, they begin tackling the vari-ous obstacles. "It's hard to climb apyramid, because it's at an angle ofsixty degrees. We have to pull therobot up, but not let it fall backwith its center of gravity." Whenasked for any trade secrets, Harrissays, "We have two separate grip-pers to pull it up."

John Wypyszinski, Harris's fatherand mentor to the robotics team,stresses that robotics isn't justabout programming computers.Participants are expected to buildtheir own equipment. "They go toBoston in January and pick upwhat is essentially a giant erectorset. It's stock to build the robotwith, but they have to design it,machine it, build it, trouble shootit and program it." He adds that thecomputer programming is "prettyinvolved. The mentors are there tomake sure the kids don't get hurtand get pointed in the right direc-tion, but they have to find the

answers to the problems them-selves."

Both Wypyszinskis stress howimportant it is to meld the sciencewith the mechanical engineering."Knowing which end of a hammerto use to pound in a nail is impor-tant in everybody's daily life," saysJohn Wypyszinski. "How to besafe around machines, how to usetools." Harris Wypyszinski adds,

"It's good to have these skills, forexample to be able to work onyour house."

Gasbarro agrees. "When schoolsand the country talk about 21stcentury skills, this is where you seeit, without a doubt: in a roboticsbased program."

Question: Does cooking food ina microwave cause nutrient loss?

answer:This is a great questionbecause microwaves are pervasivethroughout society. In fact, they’re

a staple in almost every kitchen.Despite their popularity, manypeople are convinced that radiationfrom microwaves destroys nutri-ents. Thankfully, research does notback this up. The primary determi-nants of nutrient loss are cook

time, cook temperature, and theamount of liquid used. In otherwords, any form of cooking canlead to nutrient loss, but microwav-ing is actually a BETTER option.Microwaves do a great job of heat-ing your food very quickly, andmicrowaves heat at temperaturesthat are lower than most otherforms of cooking. The water-solu-ble vitamins, B-complex and C,are easily the most susceptible toheat, and are commonly found inbeans, fruits, and vegetables. Bot-tom line—use the microwave asoften as you need to, but try toavoid using water in the cookingprocess to avoid leaching of thosewater-soluble vitamins.

Question: I’ve never been thebest sleeper. Is this having a neg-ative impact on my overallhealth?

answer: Unfortunately, yes, itprobably is! There is a lot ofemerging research revolvingaround sleep (or the lack thereof)and its associated health implica-tions. There’s some data now in-dicating that those who get justone night of poor sleep end upwith abnormal lab values indica-tive of pre-diabetes. That’s right,pre-diabetes!! Folks with poorsleep cycles can end up with sup-pressed insulin secretion after ameal, which leaves them with el-evated blood sugar levels for far

too long. They also have loweredresting metabolic rates, whichcould ultimately contribute toweight gain as well. Other re-searchers have discovered thathundreds of genes get disruptedafter just one week of suboptimalsleep, thereby impairing thebody’s ability to heal itself.Chronic sleep problems havebeen associated with heart at-tacks, stroke, diabetes, and obe-sity for years, but now we’restarting to see direct observationsin the laboratory setting. In theend, optimal sleep is just as im-portant as your fitness level andyour nutritional status when itcomes to overall health, so try toget at least 8 hours a night, andmore when you can.

Question: I lift 5 days per weekconsistently, but my strengthgains have flat-lined. How do Icontinue to get stronger?

answer: Despite not havingmuch information to go on here,let’s see if I can provide some in-sight. First of all, there’s the dis-tinct possibility that you’reworking out too much. Maybeyour volume (the combination ofsets and reps) is too high—a com-mon problem for those looking togain strength as quickly as possi-ble. And how long has it beensince you’ve taken some time offto allow your body to fully recu-perate from the stress of exercise?Some much-needed rest may dothe trick, and amazingly, peopleoften come back even stronger. Ialso wonder if you’re changing upyour workouts enough. Manypeople get into the habit of usingmachines or free weights, but thennever gravitate toward otherforms of exercise. Cables, tubing,bands, kettle bells, medicine balls,and even bodyweight exercisescan all increase strength, so youshould try to vary up your routineregularly. Lastly, you have to re-member that strength doesn’t justincrease exponentially on a con-tinual basis. There is a thresholdthat you’ll reach at some point,and you could be there already. Ifyou feel like you need help withyour current program, talk to acertified personal trainer.

What is a cataractand what iscataract surgery?A cataract is a common condi-tion in which the normally clearlens of the eye becomes progres-sively cloudy. When light passesthrough a clear lens, the light can

focus to a point, creating a clearview. When light passes through acataract, the light gets distorted,creating a blurred view. Comparedto vision with a clear lens, your vi-sion with a cataract may lookfuzzy, and colors might be muted.These visual disturbances fromcataracts are progressive, andwhen they become bothersome orlimit your daily activities, it’s time

to consider treatment. Treatmentfor cataracts involves surgery toremove the cataract and replace itwith an intraocular lens implant. Itis the most common surgical pro-cedure in the US and around theworld and is considered to be anextremely successful and safe pro-cedure.

What is lasercataract surgery?Many of the steps of cataractsurgery are traditionally per-formed using handheld tools.Now, they can be completed withthe precision of a laser. Using theCATALYS Precision Laser Sys-tem, your surgeon can offer youunprecedented accuracy and cus-tomization in your cataract sur-gery procedure. Your surgeoncan use CATALYS to create acircular opening for accessingand removing the cataract.CATALYS then softens andbreaks up the hard cataract intotiny pieces, allowing for gentler,easier cataract removal. Depend-ing on your pre-operative visionand desired visual result, yoursurgeon may recommend a tai-lored treatment plan that couldinclude creating ultra-preciselaser incisions in the cornea anda specific lens implant type (e.g.Multifocal lens for near and farvision). This tailored treatmentmay reduce your need for glassesor contact lenses after surgery.

What are the benefits of lasercataract surgery?• A highly customized treat-ment using advanced 3D im-aging

• A treatment with little or nodiscomfort

• A more precise treatment

• A gentler and easier cataractremoval

• Generally, a more rapid visualrecovery due to reduced in-flammation

• The opportunity to receive tai-lored treatment with advancedtechnology multi-focal lenses,which may reduce the needfor glasses or contacts aftersurgery

Am I a suitable candidate forlaser cataract surgery?

In our experience, most cataractpatients are suitable patients forlaser cataract surgery. Your doc-tor and his/her support staff willdiscuss your candidacy in moredetail during your cataract evalu-ation exam.

How long has theprocedure beenperformed?Thousands of procedures havebeen successfully performedusing the CATALYS PrecisionLaser System, and lasers havebeen used in eye procedures fordecades. CATALYS representsthe new standard in precisionlaser cataract surgery and wasFDA cleared in 2011.

How does the laserwork? What is itdoing to my eye?Every eye has a unique sizeand shape. Prior to treatment,the CATALYS Precision LaserSystem scans your eye making aprecise 3D map of relevantstructures. This process enablesyour surgeon to create a highlycustomized treatment plan thatis tailored for your eye. Thelaser then focuses light to createprecise incisions exactly whereintended. The laser makes theincisions in a matter of seconds.You should experience little, ifany, discomfort.

What will I feel?You can expect little or no dis-comfort during your treatment.During the laser portion, patientsdescribe seeing kaleidoscope oflights and slight pressure only.

How long does theprocedure take?You can expect to be at the sur-gery center for 2 hours. You willbe in the procedure room for 15to 20 minutes. The 3D imagingand laser portion of the treatmentonly takes a few minutes.

CATALYS laser cataract sur-gery is all about better precision,more safety and excellent out-comes. Across the country, onlya small number of specializedlasers are available and in use. AtMilford Franklin Eye Center, Dr.Kaldawy is the first to offerbladeless laser cataract surgery inthe area and among the first inNew England.

Eco-conscious men and womenhave many options at their disposalwhen it comes to protecting the en-vironment. One such way is to con-

serve water.

Conserving water can be done ina variety of ways, many of whichwon't require much effort at all.

The following are a handful ofways men and women can con-serve water to benefit the environ-ment.

• Upgrade your home's waterfeatures. According to the En-vironmental ProtectionAgency, toilets, showers andfaucets account for two-thirdsof all indoor water use. If youhaven't upgraded these items inrecent years, chances arethey're not very eco-friendly. Inthe past, toilets used between3.5 to 5 gallons of water perflush. But today's low-flush toi-lets use 1.6 gallons of water orless per flush, significantly re-ducing the average home'swater consumption.

Older showerheads may also beunnecessarily wasting water. EPAestimates suggest that showers ac-count for roughly 20 percent oftotal indoor water use. Older show-erheads typically consume about4.5 gallons of water per minute,while newer, low-flow shower-heads consume just 2.5 gallons ofwater per minute. Such shower-heads are inexpensive and candrastically reduce your monthlywater consumption, helping the en-vironment while saving you

money.

• Change your landscaping prac-tices. Homeowners with agreen thumb can employ amore eco-friendly approach totending to their lawns and gar-dens without sacrificing aes-thetic appeal. One way to do sois by watering in the earlymorning hours or during theevening, especially during thehot summer months. Doing someans less water will be lost toevaporation, which means youwon't have to over-water tomake up for the water lost toevaporation that's commonwhen a lawn or garden is wa-tered during the hot and humiddaylight hours.

How often you cut the grass canalso contribute to excessive waterconsumption. Allowing the grass togrow taller will provide more shadefor the lawn's roots. This makes forstronger roots and more water re-tention in the soil, which translatesto less watering.

Another way to conserve waterwhen landscaping to strategicallylocate plants based on their waterneeds. Group plants with similarwater needs next to one anotherand, if planting a garden for the first

time, look for plants that do notneed lots of water to survive. Thisis especially important for thosepeople who live in regions wheretemperatures are particularly highduring the spring and summer.

• Become more conscious ofyour water consumption andusage. One of the easiest waysto conserve water is to becomemore conscious of the variousways in which you waste wateron a daily basis. Nearly every-one wastes water, be it runningthe dishwasher when it's notfull or using a washing ma-chine without a variable loadcontrol or letting the faucet runcontinuously while brushingyour teeth. When you resolveto conserve more water, takenote of the ways you might bewasting water throughout atypical day, and then alter thosebehaviors to be less wasteful.

Conserving water is essential toprotecting the environment. Adher-ing to a few simple and efficientstrategies is all it takes to reduceyour daily water consumption, doyour part to protect the environ-ment and maybe even save a littlemoney along the way.

Spring is here, at long last. Thosewho feel cooped up from the win-ter may be aching to get out andplant their gardens. Some mem-bers of the Millis Garden Cluboffer their advice.

Heidi Dostoomian, member ofthe Millis Garden Club, haslearned a lot over the years she’sbeen involved with the group.Now that spring is here, she says,gardeners should pay close atten-tion to when they start seeds, mak-ing sure they don’t begin them tooearly.

“It’s better to have a youngerplant, that’s not too tall,” says Dos-toomian, when it comes to plant-ing the seedlings outside. Soil, shesays, is also important. She haslearned that making her own com-post is important. “Always try toenrich the soil,” she adds.

Jean Maier and Chris Gavin, ex-perienced garden designers in-volved in the MGC, also put thesetips together:

Research your plants at the li-brary/internet. Some good authorsare Dirr (for trees and shrubs), Cul-

lina (for native plants). Internetsites that are .edu and .gov mayhave more unbiased informationthan .com.

Look everywhere for "low main-tenance,” correct zones (this areais zone 6 or lower), sun and waterrequirements. Put plants with likerequirements together.

Consider using native plants andavoid anything that is described asaggressive or invasive to start with.

Use good loose soil. Consider asoil test for acid/alkalinity andmineral deficits. Dig 8-10" deepand add 2-4" of compost on top.Turn it over a bit with a shovel tomix. Consider making your owncompost. Don't overdo the chemi-cal fertilizers, herbicides, and pes-ticides.

If your soil is grass covered, youcan make a new garden bed bymowing short, layering 5-10 sheetsof newspaper on top and thenadding 4-5" of soil or compost ontop. After a year, the grass andnewspaper will be decomposedand the soil ready to plant, noweeds. Or you can plant into itright away by cutting X's into thenewspaper layer for individual

plants.)

Water plants deeply directly attheir roots and not too often. 1" aweek including rainfall. Sprinklinga mulched bed will rarely water asdeeply as you think, it only lookswet. Try watering a bit with asprinkle setting, then move asidethe mulch.

Mulch annually with a coupleinches of chopped leaves, barkmulch, pine needles, straw

Edge (just dig a 5" little trencharound the bed to separate it fromthe surrounding grass and fill itwith mulch). Keeps clover andgrass from moving into the bedfrom the lawn and looks neater.

Plant plants, not seeds. Mucheasier. If you use seeds, put themin a regular pattern so you can tellwhich seedlings are flowers andwhich are weeds. Seeds started in-doors need a GOOD source oflight or they grow leggy and weak.Also consider small shrubs, peren-nials, bulbs and ground covers, andConsider mixing flowers and veg-etables.

Plant WHEN you need it Plan forseasons when you will be there to

see it (i.e., if you go away for thesummer, then plant for spring andfall).

Plant WHERE you need it.Frame views that you like withplantings to make distant scenesaccessible. Don't block out what'sattractive, whether or not it's yours.

Keep records of what you plantand how it does; when it flowers,when it's ugly, when you cut itback. Then you know what to donext year.

Don't freak out over lawn weeds,especially the really pretty ones,and mow high. Avoid harsh chem-icals.

Start small and don't overwhelmyourself. Have fun!

As Steve says, ”When indoubt, find out” on April18th at the Restaurant 45 at5 p.m. All local businessesare welcome. $15/pp Re-freshments included, CashBar. RSVP to [email protected] byApril 12th.

GOT MOLD? MBC Presents Steve Timpany. His Reply: “When in Doubt, Find Out”

Considering Mold Remediation? What You Need ToKnow!Indoor mold contamination is aserious issue. Molds can posehealth risks ranging from mild al-lergic reactions to chronic respira-tory infections, even possibledeath. Molds that colonize yourhome or work environment causestructural damage to organicbuilding materials such as wallsand wood timbers. Mold literallyeats the building! Anyone dealingwith real estate has legal obliga-

tions to get mold issues resolved.Therefore, getting rid of an indoormold contamination is a must. Theproblem is that there are literallythousands of species of moldswith some common indoorspecies considered to be “toxic.”This makes DIY mold remedia-tion a very bad idea.

Mold must be properly identifiedto ensure complete removal. Thisrequires a Certified ResidentialMold Inspector (CRMI) to in-spect, assess, and determine theextent of the contamination as

well as provide the best course ofaction for safe and complete re-moval.

Everyone’s health is at risk dur-ing removal and cleaning; there-fore, using the correct fungicidesand cleaning methods are essen-tial. Make sure a Certified MoldRemediation Supervisor (CMRS)is on site. When chemicals such asfungicides are needed, the workmust be performed by a certifiedtechnician with a state pesticideapplicators license.

Once the mold has been cleanedfrom surfaces such as wood youshould have an EPA registeredmold inhibitor applied to thetreated surfaces. This will preventrecontamination under normalconditions. No property ownerwants to be held liable for anyhealth issues resulting from im-proper mold removal, so choosecompanies that carry microbial re-mediation general liability, as wellas the proper amount to meet yourliability concerns.

Certain repairs will also be nec-

essary. Drywall and boards thatcould not be cleaned will need tobe replaced as will any otherbuilding materials where non-structural damage has occurred.Not all mold remediation compa-nies provide contracting services.It’s important to make sure youwork with a company that willprovide professional contractingservices to ensure the job is com-pleted to your satisfaction.

Many homeowners equate abeautiful landscape to rolling acresof pristine lawn. But changes in theclimate and widespread seasonalrestrictions on water use each yearcould change the way people thinkabout outfitting their yards.

There are many reasons peoplechoose to forgo grass and opt fordifferent ornamental elements intheir yards. Cost is one factor.While grass seed is relatively inex-pensive, the upkeep, includingmowing, fertilizing, re-seeding,and watering, requires a significantinvestment of both time andmoney. Many homeowners chooseto lay down sod to create a beauti-ful lawn, an expensive option forhomeowners with vast landscapes.

The environment is another rea-son homeowners look for grass al-ternatives. Grass requires a lot ofupkeep, much of which is not en-vironmentally friendly. For exam-ple, maintaining a pristine lawnrequires the use of a gas-poweredmower and oftentimes the applica-tion of chemical fertilizers and

pesticides. Seeking alternatives tograss can be friendly on both thewallet and the environment.

Grass-Free Landscaping AlternativesFor those who are ready to saygoodbye to grass, there are manyalternatives.

• Ground cover: Homeownerswho still desire the look ofgreen can choose among dif-ferent types of ground coverthat will quickly fill in thelandscape. Clover, low-grow-ing evergreen plants and ivyare some of the more popularground cover alternatives.

• Rocks:Decorative rocks inter-mingled with native plants canadd dimension and color to theyard. Once rocks are placed,there is little upkeep except forpulling the errant weeds.

• Mulch: A less expensive alter-native to rocks is mulch.Mulch is available in different

colors and types and can evenbe created by a homeowner bychipping trimmed branchesfrom trees in the yard. It helpslock water into landscapingbeds, decreasing the need forfrequent watering.

• Water features: Think aboutinstalling a pond in the yardthat can be bordered withstones and mulch. This willtake up a good amount ofspace and can create a natural

habitat for wildlife and evensome low-maintenance pondfish.

• Concrete or patio stones:Al-though they're not all-naturalmaterials, patios can take upareas normally consumed bythe lawn and create expansiveoutdoor entertaining areas. Itwill require an initial invest-ment of the patio material, butonce installed, patios don't re-quire significant maintenance.

Homeowners can offset theconcrete jungle feel by placingplenty of potted plants andcontainer foliage around theperimeter.

• Decking: Another alternativeto concrete and stones is awood or composite materialdeck. Again, this structure willincrease outdoor living spaceand won't require the level ofroutine maintenance needed tokeep a lush lawn.


Grass-Free Landscapinga Viable Alternative

Grass-free alternatives, such as ground cover mixed with patio stones, can be an option for homeowners lookingfor less upkeep.

Did You Know? Highlighting, or up lighting, is a landscaping technique in which light from below is used to accentcertain focal points in a landscape. In many instances, the light is used to illuminate a particularlyimpressive or unique plant. When highlighting, two or more spot light fixtures are placed at thebase of a landscape component and pointed upward. While highlighting is most commonly used toilluminate plants, it can be used to draw attention to other focal points of a landscape as well, in-cluding sculptures or other garden structures. Light fixtures are aimed away from observers as ameans to preventing glare, and oftentimes the fixtures themselves are camouflaged to maintain thenatural beauty of the landscape.

Few things are better than having afunctional and beautiful outdoorspace to entertain guests. Having agreat outdoor space enables a personto host parties or intimate gatheringsall year long. Establishing an enter-taining space and maintaining thatspace are essential when planninganother year of fun in the sun.

There are many things homeown-ers can do to ensure their entertainingspace is safe and functional. As theseason approaches, include somelandscaping and decorating compo-nents to your preparatory plans tomake the space as comfortable andaesthetically appealing as possible.

Here are a few key tips for readyingyour yard for entertaining possibili-ties. Expand on these basics to cus-tomize an area for your uniqueneeds.

• Check the area for any neededrepairs. Prior to your first enter-taining session, look over thedeck or patio to take note of anyflaws that may present safetyhazards. Are there any loose rail-ings? Are all screws and nailsflush so they do not cause trip-ping? Are there any cracks inconcrete or loose patio blocks?

Be sure to remedy all of the re-pairs needed to ensure guestswill be safe. If you are unsure ofany structural deficits, consultwith a contractor.

• Hire a reputable contractor. Ifyou are just laying the ground-work for a new patio or deck, itis important to get the necessarypermits and then hire a personwho has been properly vetted.Check qualifications and licens-ing before hiring a contractor andask to view a portfolio of his orher previous work. Word-of-mouth recommendations fromtrusted friends and family mem-bers are good, and you can alsodouble-check qualifications bycontacting the Better BusinessBureau to see if any complaintshave been lodged or use a serv-ice such as Angie's List to readreviews of his or her work.

• Think about closing in a portionof a deck or patio. The use of acanopy, netting or even greeneryto protect an entertaining spacecan help minimize weather-re-lated damage to outdoor furni-ture. Netting will keep a goodnumber of biting insects at baywhen the weather is warm and

humid. Having a bit of conceal-ment also means you can createa private space that isn't easilyviewed by neighbors orpassersby.

• Plan well-defined areas. Just asrooms serve different purposesinside of the home, outdoor areascan be separated according tousage. Establish a sitting nookwhere guests can gather and talk.Have a bar or serving area whererefreshments are made andserved. Make sure there is ashaded area for when the sun istoo uncomfortable to make sit-ting outside enjoyable. Similarly,have a sunny area where peoplecan soak up a few rays or dry offafter a dip in the spa or pool.Don't forget to establish a spotfor the kids to converge withscaled-down amenities.

• Consider a fireplace or fire pit.For centuries man (and woman)has gathered around fire for so-cialization and a means to warm-ing up. Having a backyardfireplace, pit or chiminea is aconversation-starter, a decorativefocal point, and a functional toolto extend the number of seasonsin which outdoor entertaining

can take place. Placethe fire wisely andwith concern forsafety. It should beout of the way of foottraffic, but centralenough so that it canbe a gathering point.

• Invest in qualityoutdoor furniture.Today's yards are ex-tensions of a home'sinterior. Guests nolonger want to sit onuncomfortable metalor plastic furniture.There are many dif-ferent outdoor sofasand chairs that are asstylish as they arecomfortable. Thesepieces can bematched to the decorinside your home fora cohesive look.

• Accessor ize .Consider the creaturecomforts of indoorsand mimic that out-doors. Don't shyaway from hangingartwork on an exte-rior wall or using urnsor pottery to decoratethe space. Weather-resistant materials en-sure everything from

clocks to televisions can be usedoutdoors. Think about having anentire set of serving dishes andother entertaining items for theoutdoors.

When refurbishing outdoor enter-taining areas, emphasize comfort,safety and functionality.

New deliveries of wicker and wrought iron furniture for the Spring

One of the best things about thedawn of spring and the return ofwarmer weather is the chance toget out of the house and get somefresh air. For homeowners, this isthe perfect opportunity to assessany damage the previous months

did to yards and develop a planrestore properties.

• Don't jump the gun. The firstwarm day of spring mightseem like a great time get outin the yard and get your handsdirty. But it's best to wait until

the grass has completely driedout before getting to work.Raking on wet grass increasesthe risk of tearing out grass,which can cause bald spotsand the growth of weedsdown the road. In addition,stepping on the grass whilethe ground is still wet cancompact the soil, which canslow drainage and block thelawn's roots from breathing.

Patience should prevail with re-gard to mowing the lawn as well.A lawn's roots will not start togrow until the average everydaytemperature routinely reaches40° F, so mowing too early isboth unnecessary and potentiallyharmful to the lawn. When thetemperatures regularly reach 50°F, then homeowners will likelystart to see their lawns growing.

• Remove debris that's piled up.Debris has a tendency to infesta yard over the course of thewinter months. Fallenbranches, stones and even trashcan accumulate in a yard, put-ting those who spend time inthe yard at risk of injury oncethe warm weather returns. Forinstance, bits of twigs and peb-bles that are blown across theyard during a windy winter canbe embedded in the yard, mak-ing the yard less of a haven andmore of a hazard. Once thegrass is dry enough to walk on,walk around the property andremove any debris that's piledup over the last few months.

• Employ a pre-emergent weedkiller. Homeowners who rou-

tinely spend their summers ag-onizing over weeds throughoutthe yard should consider ap-plying a pre-emergent weedkiller around the beginning ofspring. It's important to do soaround the end of March orearly April, when the weedshave not yet had a chance togrow. When applying, followthe dosage instructions pro-vided by the product's manu-facturer. Such instructionsoften recommend a second ap-plication right before summerbegins.

• Remove thatch. Once the grasshas dried, you can begin to re-move thatch that's built up overthe winter. Thatch is potentiallyvery harmful to soil, blockingsunlight, air and moisture thesoil needs to ensure a lawnlooks lush and healthy. Thatchremoval does not necessarilyneed to be an annual task. Ifthatch buildup is insignificant,then it can be done every other

year. Just use a dethatchingrake to make the job much eas-ier.

• Aerate, particularly if the yardis a heavy traffic area once thewarm weather arrives. If youryard transforms into a child'swonderland upon the arrival ofspring and summer, you mightwant to revive the soil by aer-ating. When the yard getsheavy usage, it's easy for soil tobecome compacted, whichmakes it hard for air and waterto reach the lawn's roots. Thatcan eventually make for a less-than-appealing lawn. So if youryard is the place to be come thewarmer months, aerate in thespring to loosen the soil andmake it easier for the lawn towithstand the months ahead.

No matter how harsh the wintermonths might have been, spring isa great time for homeowners to re-store the property around theirhomes.

Restoring Your Property After a Long Winter

Mowing the lawn too early in the spring is both unnecessary and potentially harmful to the lawn.

BY J.D. O’GARA

Salone De Bella turns a yearold in March, and already thehair salon has become a vibrantpart of the community of Hollis-ton.

Owner Michelle (Shelly)Savino, who has worked as ahairdresser for over 20 years,purchased the business, formerlyknown as Marilyn’s Hair Salon.Not only has the relationshipwith the former owner been pos-itive, but Marilyn also still re-mains a fixture at the salon, stillworking as a hairdresser for herfamiliar clientele.

“I worked at a salon in Hollis-ton for five years, and this be-came available,” says Savino,who lives in the town with herhusband, who grew up in Hollis-ton, and three sons, all of whomattend Holliston schools. “I did-n’t want to see it pass me by, soI grabbed the opportunity.”

The Salon owner, who says sheand her husband are big support-ers of the town, says the year hasbeen an exciting one for her andher business, which wasted notime in reaching out to the com-munity.

During the Holliston BusinessAssociation’s Spring Stroll lastyear, Salone De Bella reachedout to the community with sam-ples and coupons. Later, at therequest of Theresa Lamkin, thesalon hosted “Fair Hair,” inwhich it donated supplies, andstylists volunteered their time tocreate fun and funky hairstyles.Proceeds from the event were

donated to Dana Farber, saysSavino.

“Fair Hair” was such a successthat Salone De Bella brought theevent back with funky hairstylesfor Halloween, and to theHBA’s Christmas Stroll. Pro-ceeds from the latter were do-nated to the Holliston ParentTeacher Association (www.hol-listonptsa.org).

Salone De Bella has also do-nated to PTSA auctions for bothHolliston and Ashland, sup-ported two basketball teamsthrough the Holliston YouthBasketball Association, and sup-ported the local Brewfest andthe annual Timlin 5K for ALSResearch.

On top of its embracement ofthe community, Salone De Bellahas brought an upscale salon tothe small town of Holliston.

“Top notch stylists are here,using the top products,” sayswarm and friendly front deskmanager Beth Lucey. “The styl-ists go to many trade shows, andthey’re up on all the latest stylesand coloring techniques. It’s re-ally a salon you’d see on New-bury Street rather than in a littletown.”

With a focus on the women,men and children who compriseher clientele, which, she says,

spans all ages, Savino spentmonths researching products toarrive at a vegan offering, shesays, called “Pureology.”

“I really wanted top qualityproducts,” says Savino. “I didn’twant something you can just gobuy at (a drugstore). There are alot of people who are vegetarian,or vegan, or who have allergies.I really wanted a product thatwould be good for everybody.”

Savino has also altered hersalon’s hours to accommodatethe busy schedules of her pa-trons. Salone De Bella is opensix days a week, where tradi-tional salons are generallyclosed on Mondays. In the pastyear, she said, she has added tothe staff, and at the request ofHolliston clientele, has addedservices such as manicuring andsome waxing services.

“I think what they really likehere,” says Savino, “is it’s justcomfortable and friendly.”

The owner took pains to makeit that way. When she took overthe salon, she completely guttedit and redecorated the space in10 days, using bright, invitingcolors.

“Shelly’s constantly redecorat-ing and moving things around,and it’s probably cleanest salonI’ve seen,” says Beth.

“I like to keep things lookingfresh by moving products andaccessories around often,” addsSavino.

The salon sees new clients justabout weekly, says Savino, who

is thrilled to see a lot of referralsand repeat business. For thoseclients who want to keep intouch, Salone De Bella offers amonthly e-newsletter, with dis-counts and advice on the latestproducts and hairstyles. What’sto come for Salone De Bella, inaddition to gearing up for promseason, says Savino, is a wholenew array of hair extensions, notto mention help for women withthinning hair and new foraysinto foil and color.

“It’s great here,” says CindyCanavan, who has been gettingher hair styled by Cheryl sincethe Salon opened last year. “It’slovely. It’s warm. Everyone ispersonable. You feel so welcomehere, plus – our hair is awe-some.”

Savino adds that she truly en-joys being a hairdresser as muchas she does owning the business.

“I really want to say, as muchas I enjoy owning and runningthe business, I really love doinghair and making people look andfeel good,” she says.

Salone De Bella is located at416 Washington Street, in East Holliston, right behindBertucci’s. The salon is openfrom 9 a.m. – 3 p.m. on Mon-days and Fridays, 9 a.m. – 8p.m. Tuesdays, 9 a.m. – 7 p.m.Wednesdays and Thursdays, and9 a.m. – 4 p.m. on Saturdays.You may reach them at (508)429-2287, or visit www.salon-debella.com for more informa-tion.

“It feels like we’ve been friendsforever,” says Karen Crowell, ofher business partner and fellowmassage therapist Marcia Haigh.While studying integrative mas-sage at The Massage School, theyfound that their similar styles andtechniques made their massageinto a nurturing experience forclients.

Their aim is to bring that experi-ence to the whole family.

Everyone can benefit from a mas-sage, say Marcia and Karen, whoenvision bringing a better sense ofwellness to infants, toddlers, grow-ing children, their parents andgrandparents.

Their new Awaken BodyworkStudio, centered in the historicbuilding known as Medway Mills,at 165 Main Street, in Medway, setsthe perfect stage to let go. The spotis cozy and comforting, bathed innatural light, with soaring ceilingsthat offer a breath of fresh air.

“Karen and I agree we really wantto encompass the whole familyunit,” says Marcia. “Whether yourfamily is the family you’ve chosenor been born into, The person wholays down on the table and the per-son who stands up after is a total dif-ferent person.

“I love that we can work on allages and body types,” says Marcia.“I've been able to work on newbornsto my oldest client who is 95.”

Marcia has always envisioned pro-viding healing massage. As an RNfor 20 years working by patients’bedsides, she became convinced ofwhat massage and therapeutic touch

could do for people. She’s lookingforward to completing her pediatricand infant certification, in additionto pregnancy massage.

Karen has an accounting and busi-ness writing background, but aftershe had her children, she sought amore flexible and fulfilling careerand became a licensed Esthetician.It was then that her interest in thehealing power of touch really camealive.

“I learned what a difference youcan make with a person with touch,”says Karen. During skin care treat-ments, she says, “By time I wasdone massaging their neck and face,(clients) would get up they wouldlook completely transformed. Ithought, “This is my calling, to beof service and help others heal.”

Later, Karen would learn from herinfant daughter, the power of mas-sage to comfort cholic. She soonbegan studying aromatherapy andusing essential oils blended withmassage oil. She now creates blendsthat she uses in her practice to ad-dress clients’ ailments like depres-sion or digestive issues.

Awaken Bodywork Studio will beoffering therapeutic massage:Swedish/relaxation, deep tissue,trigger point, sports, pregnancy, in-fant and child, Reiki, skin care andcorporate chair massage for busi-ness and events. The friends saythey are looking forward to operat-ing their own studio.

“Now, we can really get to knowour clients,” says Karen.

That understanding can lead to abetter experience, and better overallwellness.

Marcia explains that people willoften come complaining of an achein one area, but that “Sometimes,they’ll come in with a specific com-plaint, like neck pain or upper backpain, but I’ll find I’ll find after work-ing with them that this pain is re-ferred from some other part of theirbody, because they have been sittingin a chair at work all day.” Marciaexplains that the tension can bephysical, emotional or spiritual,“whether they’re aware of it or not.”At times, the experience of gettinga massage can be emotionallycathartic.

Marcia explains that sometimes,clients can feel overcome with emo-tion during a massage. She explainswhat she does when this happens.

“All we can do is hold that spacefor them,” she says, noting that shecannot diagnose or give advice, butshe can help her clients “feel in asafe place.”

Karen adds, “We offer them aplace where they can completely getquiet and unwind. And heal.”

With a goal of offering servicesto encompass the whole person,Karen plans to offer wellnesscoaching services in addition toher massage, skin care and Reikienergy healing. She explains,“This service is to help someonereach a goal related to their health,like nutrition, diet, exercise, andstress reduction.”

”I want people to know that theycan come here, and that they’regoing to get a good massage, “says Marcia, who, along withKaren, is constantly updating herknowledge and certifications in thefield. “We are grateful and hon-ored to provide our services to thecommunity of Medway and itssurrounding communities.”

Pitching, HittingMajor Assets ForMohawk Nine BY KEN HAMWEY

The Millis baseball team couldcause lots of headaches for oppos-ing Tri Valley League squads thisseason.

The Mohawks, who were 6-12last year in the conference, willhave some formidable players re-turning and they’ve got pitchingdepth. Key competitors includeleft-handed pitchers Matt Fogartyand Mike Kozak, centerfielderDerek Bauer, shortstop ChrisBaker, first baseman Gavin Brad-bury and DH-third baseman JamieBreed.

Fogarty, an all-star last year as afreshman, was 3-2, struck out 41hitters and had earned-run averageof 3.15. Bauer hit .247, cloutedthree home runs and drove in 13runs while Baker hit .237 and stole11 bases. Breed, a TVL all-star asa junior, led the team in hittingwith an average of .303. He man-aged 20 hits and knocked in 21runs.

“Fogarty has a good fastball andcurve and his control is good,too,’’ said co-coach Keith Verra.“He’s confident and he’s com-posed. Kozak relies and a fastballand curve, and his ball movementis effective.

Verra, who previously was thevarsity baseball coach at Marianand Holliston, also is impressedwith Millis’ offensive compo-nents.

“Bauer has a strong arm and isa solid hitter,’’ Verra said. “He’sa college prospect. Baker relies onwork ethic, leadership and char-acter. He can hit, has speed andcan be trusted to make key plays.Bradbury is a big, strong powerhitter who can pitch as a starter orin relief. Breed is a combinationor power and contact. He’s got agood eye for the ball, is consistentand hits in key situations.’’

The Mohawks lost only threestarters from last year and shouldbe an experienced contingent.Verra stresses that the Mohawks’goal will be the same as last year— “be consistent and play to ourpotential.’’

“We’ve got pitching depth andour hitting is a strength,’’ he said.“Where we can improve is on de-fense.’’

Hockey Merger For Millis,Hopedale?

Athletic Director Chuck Granthas always rolled up his sleeves toassist students at Millis who wantto play hockey.

The Mohawks had been a co-opteam with Tri County Vocationalin Franklin for five years but thatagreement officially ended lastspring. The seven remaining Millisplayers, however, were grandfa-thered in for the season that justconcluded.

After attempts to join forces in aco-op venture with Bellinghamand later with Holliston failed, itwas back to square one for Millisand the future of hockey.

But, there is a ray of hope. Hope-dale, which already has been in aco-op venture with Millis in foot-ball, contacted Grant recentlyabout possibly joining forces.

“It’s very early and strictly in thepreliminary stages,’’ Grant said.“Hopedale is investigating thecosts involved in starting a pro-gram and it also will have to workout details with the new rink thatis being built there. We’ll haveabout 11 boys who will be varsitycapable and four or five otherswho are jayvee capable next win-ter. All we can do on our end iswait and see what happens inHopedale.’’

Kelley Butler, Hopedale’s ath-letic director, emphasized that theSchool Committee has given herthe okay to study all the costslinked to hockey.

“We’ll need to get numbers onthe players available and we’llneed to get the numbers for thebudget,’’ she said. “We also needto keep meeting with the ownersof the new rink. Right now, we’vegot about 16-20 boys interested inplaying.’’

Butler said that if Hopedale wereto eye a co-op plan with anotherschool, Millis would be her choice.

“It worked for the two schoolsin football,’’ Butler said. “If we goforward, we’ll need to deal withtransportation costs and howhockey would affect other sports at

Hopedale. We’re still very early inthe planning of this venture and alot more study has to be done.’’

Grant said he’s “excited’’ aboutteaming up with Hopedale and “soare our kids.’’

“We enjoyed the time we hadwhen we joined forces with TriCounty,’’ Grant said. “We’rehappy they’re going forward withtheir own team. A new start, espe-cially with Hopedale, would begreat because both schools getalong so well and are compatible.It makes a lot of sense.’’

Millis To Re-applyFor Co-op FootballAthletic Director Chuck Grant isgetting ready to re-apply for theco-op provision for the football

program at Millis.

The Mohawks, who have fieldeda team with Hopedale for the lastfour years, are hoping the Mass.Interscholastic Athletic Associa-tion’s Co-op Committee will onceagain give Millis and Hopedale thegreen light to field a team com-prised of players from bothschools.

“It’ll be interesting,’’ Grant saidabout his effort to keep bothschools playing as one. “Our num-bers at Millis are going up for thenext few years but likely will de-crease later. If we get the okay tomove forward with a co-op team,there will be no seniors or juniorsfrom Hopedale. I’ll be mappingout a proposal for the MIAAsoon.’’

BY CHRISTOPHER TREMBLAY

At a young age Matt Ozzellacame to the conclusion that he wasnot only a good basketball player,but the sport seemed to come nat-urally to the Medway resident.

“I think it was around sixth gradewhen my first travel team made itto the championships,” he said. “Itwas at that moment when I real-ized that I had talent.”

Medway High School CoachJason Rojee begs to differ with thissenior guard.

“As a three-year varsity basket-ball player, he has been an ab-solute blessing; he’s not only agreat athlete, but a great student aswell,” the Mustang Coach said.“He could absolutely be the best tocome through Medway.”

Ozzella began playing basketballin the local rec league during thefourth grade thanks to his olderbrother, Michael, already partici-pating. Although he has played thesport for close to a decade, itwasn’t until his sophomore yearthat he took it seriously. That year

he decided that he would nolonger suit up for the football teamand would only pursue basketballfull time.

During his sopho-more year, the pointguard came off thebench for the varsityteam to average 10points a game. Med-way had a phenom-enal senior class thatseason that took theMustangs all theway to the SouthSectional Finals,where they eventu-ally lost to CardinalSpellman. Despitenot winning thec h am p i o n s h i pOzzella holds thatseason close to hisheart.

“My sophomoreyear was my firstwith the varsity teamand although we lostin the finals it was anawesome experi-ence,” Ozzella said.

“No Medway team ever made itthis far and I got to enjoy it playingwith my brother (Michael was asenior that season).”

Following the loss to CardinalSpellman Ozzella had a really pro-ductive off-season playing AAUbasketball. When he returned forhis second season with the Mus-tangs Ozzella had not only grownand added some weight but he alsoretooled his game. According tothe Coach, he was a great slasherthat developed an outside shot (ashot that got even better his seniorseason).

Ozzella improved his scoring to17 points a game that season,while taking it up a notch this yearby knocking down 19.5 points pergame while hitting 40% of histhree point shots. During Med-way’s first tournament contest thisyear against Dedham Ozzellarecorded his 1,000 point in a Med-way uniform.

“I knew that if he averaged 18points per game he might get closeto scoring 1,000 points,” Rojeesaid. “It was no easy feat, espe-cially since he only averaged 10points as a sophomore. Mattwasn’t even aware of how close hewas, I think I finally let him knowwhen he was about 27 pointsaway.”

In the back of his mind he re-members the coach mentioningthe 1,000 points at the beginningof the season, but it wasn’t any-thing that he was trying to accom-plish.

“It was crazy, it jumped out ofnowhere. Coach had told me thatI had a chance at the beginning ofthe year, but I really didn’t thinkabout it and it got lost,” Ozzella

said. “Then all of a sudden he tellsme I’m close, and I’m shocked. Iknew that I was capable of it, butnot really sure if I’d be able to doit.”

Luckily, it came while Ozzellawas at the free throw line. Theystopped the game and made an an-nouncement and quickly wentback to playing the first roundtournament game, which Medwaywon. Ozzella and the Mustangswould go on to defeat GreaterNew Bedford and get revenge onCardinal Spellman before fallingto Martha’s Vineyard, the eventualDivision 3 South Champions

While his high school career isover, Ozzella will probably con-tinue to play basketball on the col-legiate level next winter.

“Oh, he can definitely play at thenext level. We had at least five col-lege coaches at every game scout-ing him and my phone has beenringing off the hook,” the coachsaid. “The best place for Matt willbe where they allow him to be aguard instead of doing all thethings that we asked him to dohere.”

Although Ozzella will be playingbasketball next season, the ques-tion is where.

“Following games I was talkingto 1 or 2 coaches about playing forthem in college, but I’m having atough time deciding where to go,”the senior guard said. “I want tostudy business, so it’s going to bethe best fit for academics as wellas basketball, I just haven’t de-cided yet.”

The Sky's the Limit for MedwayBasketball Talent Matt Ozzella

Looking at colleges, 1,000 point scoring MattOzzella says he's searching for the right academicprogram as well as the right team.

BY CHRISTOPHER TREMBLAY

C.J. Golash has been playinghockey for about a decade. As hegot closer to entering Millis HighSchool, he thought his playingdays would be behind him. Luck-

ily, Millis merged with Franklin’sTri-County Regional High Schoolto form a varsity program. Thetowns play in the MayflowerLeague, a Division 3 program.

The Millis native has been play-ing goalie as a tribute to his father,Chip Golash. The elder Golashplayed his high school hockey inSpringfield, then went on to playfor UCONN on the college levelwhere he was later ousted byBoston University’s Jim Craig andMinnesota’s Steve Janaszak as thegoalies for the 1980’s Miracle OnIce Olympic team that won gold inLake Placid.

“I began playing goalie, becausemy dad played it all of his life,” theyounger Golash. “I wanted to fol-low in his footsteps. Besides, I’dhave someone close by to ask anyquestions and get tips from.”

While he was appreciative of hisson, Chip said he worked to get

where he is today.

“I helped him as much as I could.He did work hard, I made himwork, but he was the one to comeup to the plate, not me,” Chip Go-lash said. “I didn’t push my past onhim; it was his passion of thegame. He’s a student of the gameand tends to watch a lot of hockeyand it was all him focusing on hisdevelopment and skills.”

Entering his second varsity sea-son with the Millis/TC teamCoach Mark Spillane was im-pressed with the way Golash en-tered this season.

“Last year, he split time at thegoalie position, but he came pre-pared this year and won the job,”the Millis/TC Coach said. “CJ keptus in a lot of games despite ourrecord.” percentage of 87.629 andallowed only 36 goals for a 3.804goals against average.”

As a freshman net minder, play-ing varsity hockey for the first timeit was a little intimidating for theMillis native.

“That first varsity start, there wasa lot of nervousness,” Golash said.“I was definitely not used to thepace of the game on this level andcouldn’t adapt as quickly.”

Following his first varsity season,Golash vowed to get better, and byplaying for the Mass Mustangs inRaynham during a fall league, hewas much improved when thisseason got under way.

“He’s a good kid to coach andgives everything that he has; he’s

a total team player. He takes con-structive criticism; he listens andlearns,” the coach said. “Last yearthey were beating him to the gloveside, I told him to work on it andhe did. He came into the year witha positive attitude and shut down alot of kids. In fact, there were threepenalty shots taken and no one wasable to score on him.”

With still many more games tobe played for the Millis / TC teamGolash has plenty of time to be-come that elite goalie, and maybeif he works real hard he may beable to one up his father and makean Olympic team.

%e.r.a. Key realty services by E. “Cappy” Capozzoli

Stacy and Mark ask, “We are plan-ning some real estate transactionsvery soon, and we have heard a lotof buzz about the “Spring Market”.What exactly is it? When does itbegin and when does it end”?

As the name implies, it is the mar-ket activity that happens in thespringtime. There are no exactdates. It is more like a wave of ac-tivity that begins around March ofeach year and continues to growthrough June. What actually hap-pens is an increase in the number ofhome sales. It is a logical event,since most buyers and sellers arepre-occupied with the holidays inNov. & Dec. They also prefer not to

move (in New England) in the win-ter months. Also Families with chil-dren prefer not to take their childrenout of school once classes havebegun. So putting a transaction to-gether in the spring gives families achance to close the deal in June,July, or August, and have the chil-dren enrolled for the Septemberschool season.

So in a “nutshell”, more sellers listtheir homes, and more buyers are outlooking during this so-called “SpringMarket”, making a “bump” in activ-ity. As a seller you will probably havemore people looking at your home,and conversely as a buyer, you willhave more homes to look at duringthis period. The “Spring Market” hasneither an official starting bell nor achecked flag at the end.

One of the best ways to check onmarket activity is to visit my web-site www.cappyatmyhouse.comthere you can research all the list-ings in any town and in any pricerange.

Mr. Capozzoli has been a Mas-sachusetts real estate broker for35 years. You are invited to sub-mit your real estate questions bye-mail [email protected] or byphone 508-596-2600.
