Town Meeting Passes Budget,

Supports Finance Department

By Kevin RuddenStaff Reporter/Columnist

Town Meeting Members this past Monday passed a $90,892,908 operating budget for the Fiscal Year 2016, which begins on July 1, but not before Donato “Dan” Niro criticized the cost of educating students in the English Language Learner (ELL) program.

Alves Named a Community Bank Hero

Maria Alves, Customer Service Manager at Milford Federal Savings and Loan, has been named a Community Bank Hero by The Warren Group and Banker & Tradesman. Community Bank Hero is an annual award that honors the achievements, commitment and dedication of financial professionals who go above and beyond for their institution and community.

“It is a pleasure to recognize and honor the hard work and dedication of this year’s recipients of the Community Bank Heroes Award,” said Timothy M. Warren Jr., CEO of The Warren Group. “Each individual’s approach to their profession represents a true passion for their work and an admirable commitment to the communities in which they serve.”

Alves has been providing exemplary customer service to the community throughout her over 40-year career at Milford Federal Savings & Loan Association. According to her colleagues, Alves’ warm generous spirit, smile, empathy, heart of gold and exceptional customer service extend far beyond the bank building and regular banking hours, as she often makes herself available to many homebound, hospitalized and nursing home customers, often sitting with them long after their business is settled and lending a caring ear. While her support, both professional and personal, is shown to her customers it also extends to her staff and all her fellow employees.

An active, trusted, and well-respected member of the Portuguese community, she is also a valuable contributor to her community through her involvement and volunteer work with St. Jude’s Hospital, the Milford Area Chamber of Commerce, and St. Mary of the Assumption Church in Milford.

“I feel blessed to have been given the opportunity to serve my community both in my professional and personal life, said Alves. “It is very satisfying to know that I have made a difference in the lives of my customers especially the homebound, the non and limited English speaking members of my community and others through my efforts on various committees throughout the years. To have my work and volunteerism recognized in this way is such an honor.”

Awards will be distributed at a dinner event on Wednesday, May 27, at the Omni Parker House in Boston. Recipients will be featured in the May 25 issue of Banker & Tradesman.

A Little Spring Cleaning and Spruce Up

Fourth grade Girl Scouts of Milford Troop 11275 spent a recent troop meeting helping Memorial Elementary School.  They picked up trash around the outside of the school and at the Town Park, cleared out the flower bed in front of the school, and planted some red, white, and blue flowers in the planters and in front of the building in preparation for the school’s Memorial Day program.  They enjoyed getting dirty and had a great time while working at the school.  They are especially appreciative of Memorial Elementary School where they hold their

troop meetings twice a month after school. Contributed photo

An Earth Day Volunteer

Shiela Lally of Milford, Dean of Students at Fisher College in Boston, was among over 3,000 volunteers who spent the day picking up trash and assisting with park maintenance at the 16th Annual Earth Day Charles River Cleanup on Saturday April 25. Led by the Charles River Watershed Association, this annual Cleanup event engages thousands of local volunteers drawn by a desire to give back to their community while enjoying the beauty and wildlife along the Charles River.

Lally joined other Fisher College faculty members and students with the Esplanade Association to restore and maintain along the Charles River and surrounding parks. Volunteers worked together to remove litter and debris located in the river and on its banks at 100 sites along the 80-mile Charles River. The Annual Earth Day Charles River Cleanup builds on a national effort as part of American Rivers’ National River Cleanup® which has removed over 20.7 million pounds of trash from America’s waterways.

Ice Cream Tickets to be Issued for Bike Helmets An effort to promote bike safety begins

this week in Milford. When a Police Officer observes a child wearing their bike helmet, the officer will issue them a ‘ticket’ which is good for a free ice cream at the Dairy Queen on West Street (Rt 140) in Milford.

This effort to promote bike safety with kids was made possible as a result of a generous donation of 200 ice cream ‘tickets’ that were donated by Milford residents and businesspeople Norman White (Advanced Restaurant Equipment Service Company) and Demos and Niki Pirperis (Dairy Queen).

School Committee Certifies $42.6 Budget; Increases ELL Program

FundingBy Melissa OrffStaff Reporter

The Milford School Committee certified their FY16 budget at $42.6 million during their May 14 Open Public Hearing.

The budget represents a 5 percent, or $1.6 million increase over the current year (FY15). Along with contractual increases, the district is proposing some strategic initiatives, including an increase of $220,000 to their ELL (English Language Learner) program by hiring additional teachers, as well as adding staff including a math integration specialist and a technology integration teacher.

During the meeting, Citizens for Milford members Steve Trettel and Jose Costa addressed the Committee, asking for more information on the $220,000 increase for the ELL program.

“We are asking this because this is a fairly hot issue among some citizens and town meeting members,” said Trettle. “Fundamentally we are not talking against the program, but for towns like Milford and Framingham and Lowell, we should have a much greater assistance from the state to make these programs happen,” he said.

The two gentleman asked the Committee to present more information at the town meeting about the program, and to address why the increase changed from the original ask of $500,000 to the final increase of $220,000. “We need you to put this into context; what percentage of the cost of the [ELL] program is born by the town and what percentage does the state pay?” said Trettle.

Both expressed their support for the ELL program, but felt that the cost should not be put on the backs of the taxpayers. “We are in full support of what you are doing here [with the ELL program]; the message should be communicated better at town meeting especially,” said Costa.

Before the School Committee approved the budget, Committee Member Patrick Holland commented on the budget and the proposed ELL program budget increase. “This is the largest budget increase that I have ever signed my name to,” he said. “As a Committee, we made a decision this year – largely to do with our ELL population,” he said.

Holland also commented that they have “done everything in their power” to absorb the extra costs associated with the increasing ELL school population, including hiring dual-certified teachers to replace retiring teachers. “For the first time we have put into place what we consider to be the optimal program for both English and non-English speaking students,” said Holland.

The program will also be a phased-in investment approach, according to Holland. The $220,000 increase this year will be followed by a similar increase in that line item for FY17, so long as the non-English speaking to English speaking population remains the same. “If we continue to see a ratio change, then it is not going to be optimal, and we are going to have to find a way to address it,” said Holland.

“We have reached a critical point in our school department. We have a moral and legal obligation to educate non-English speaking as well as English speaking students. I think this is a good plan,” he said.

Holland commented that although a 5 percent increase is a significant one for any town department, the proposed budget had his full support. “I am comfortable approving this and am comfortable explaining our actions to anyone who has questions,” he said.

The School Committee approved the FY16 budget unanimously.

Woodland School Improvement Plan

PresentedBy Melissa OrffStaff Reporter

The Woodland Elementary School administration team presented their school improvement plan to the School Committee during their May 7 Meeting, which included some details on the transition into the new school building currently under construction.

Woodland Principal Craig Consigli detailed some of the initiatives that they plan to put into place for next year in order to be ready for the 2016/2017 school year, when the building is slated to be complete. The new three-story school will house 3rd through 5th grades, where currently, 5th grade attends Stacy Middle School. The transition will also allow 8th graders to move into Stacy, effectively vacating Middle School East.

“I think we may be underestimating the time. It is going to take a lot of time it will take us to transition into the new school,” said Consigli.

One of the “asks” for next year is a new Assistant Principal, one that would handle more of the curriculum instruction for the school. “This Assistant Principal role would be different than other schools in district,” said Consigli. Consigli said that the idea would be for this person to work with the district curriculum leaders and provide coaching and support to the teachers in areas such as math and reading instruction.

Other initiatives for next year include a new standards-based report card, adding levels to their PBIS (Positive Behavioral Interventions & Supports) program, and expanding their community partnerships and relations.

Consigli told the School Committee that they have started a partnership with Milford High School that they hope to expand next year. This year they had some of the varsity athletes come to the school to read to the students, and plan to expand that to a greater participation next year.

Consigli said that they will also be starting a partnership with Milford High School’s Pathways Program, and getting the older students to work with the younger students at Woodland. “Maybe we can help them have a reason to come to school…knowing that you have someone that is relying on you to read them a story or work with them. I think that can be really powerful for both,” he said.

Another event that the administration would like to adopt at Woodland is a cultural program similar to the Festival of Cultures that Stacy puts on each year. “We want to come up with an opportunity for bilingual families to share their culture and diversity at our school,” he said.

School Committee Members praised Consigli for his plan for Woodland next year and beyond. “There is a theme here…just how engaged your staff is and how much you engage your team,” said Member Scott Harrison.

Member Jen Parson said that the plan for Woodland that the administration presented is “full of creativity.” “There are so many exciting initiatives in this [plan] but you still find ways to engage teachers. Thank you for that,” she said.

MYSTERY PHOTO FROM MARCH 13

Summer Activities Featured on 30 MinutesBy Kevin RuddenStaff Reporter/Columnist

Summer activities planned by the Milford Farmers Market and the Milford Youth Center will be the focus of the May 29 episode of 30 Minutes with The Town Crier. The cable TV news show will feature interviews with Jennifer Demanche Yohn, president of the Milford Farmers Market, and Director Sidney DeJesus and Assistant Director Jennifer Ward from the Milford Youth Center.

The two most recent episodes featuring Harold Rhodes – one discussing The Blameless Victim, his book detailing the medical and legal nightmares his family endured after his wife was critically injured in an accident and another discussing his work to bring local bus service within Milford – are now available for viewing on the 30 Minutes with The Town Crier channel on YouTube.

The next episode of the show scheduled to air on Milford TV after May 29 is:• June 12: Highway Surveyor Scott Crisafulli will discuss this past winter’s

snow removal activities and his plans for summer road repairs.The half-hour show airs every other Friday at 6:30 p.m. on Milford TV –

Comcast Channel 8 and Verizon Channel 38. The show is produced by Town Crier Publications, Inc. – publishers of The Milford Town Crier and The Upton & Mendon Town Crier newspapers – and focuses on Milford’s government, culture and history, news, businesses and charitable organizations. The show airs every other week and is co-hosted by Town Crier Publisher Al Holman and Town Crier columnist Kevin Rudden.

Next fall, when the new property tax rate is set, I hope people remember this week. You see, the spending at the Annual Town

Meeting is one of the biggest drivers of what the property tax rate will be. Spending at the fall Special Town Meeting plays a big role, too.

This week, Town Meeting Members looked at a $90,892,908 operating budget for Fiscal Year 2016, which is 4.1 percent higher than the current fiscal year (which ends on June 30). Here is a breakdown of the FY 2016 budget by categories:

• General Government: $4,105,290 (up 11.2 percent)

• Public Safety: $10,219,198 (up 1.7 percent)• Education: $44,344,567 (up 3.7 percent)• Public Works and Facilities: $9,091,970 (up 3.1

percent)• Human Services: $864,262 (up 1.0 percent)• Culture and Recreation: $1,827,392 (up 1.6

percent)• Debt Services: $3,501,000 (up 7.5 percent)• Employee Benefits: $16,939,229 (up 5.4 percent)

I’m listing these numbers because – unless you are one of the 240 elected Town Meeting Members or a political junkie – you probably won’t see them published anywhere.

Now, here’s another set of numbers for you. This time, they are the percentage increases or decreases when you compare the actual spending in Fiscal Year 2012 (July 1, 2011 through June 30, 2012) with the proposed category budgets for next year (four actual fiscal years and one proposed fiscal year):

• General Government: 48.7 percent increase• Public Safety: 13.6 percent increase• Education: 13.7 percent increase• Public Works and Facilities: 10.2 percent

increase• Human Services: 20.4 percent increase• Culture and Recreation: 12.5 percent increase• Debt Service: 1.7 percent decrease• Employee Benefits: 33.4 percent increaseWhat do these increases and the decrease mean?

It’s hard to translate, because you would have to look at the specifics of why “General Government” is going up nearly 50 percent over a five-year period. I know that an Information Technology department was created and staffed up during that period, but I’m sure there were other reasons why. Rising health insurance costs probably drove up “Employee Benefits” by roughly a third.

For comparison, however, I went to the federal government’s website for the Consumer Price Index and calculated the inflation rate from January 1, 2010 through March of this year. The result is an 8.3 percent increase.

Why such a big percentage difference in town spending versus the Consumer Price Index? The devil is in the details, as they say.

On a completely different topic, some readers of this column in the last issue told me I was too harsh in calling out a Personnel Board member for mentioning “illegals” in a presentation to the Board of Selectmen. First, I didn’t name the person (although you can watch that meeting on Milford TV’s YouTube channel). Second, I’m tired of people in Milford saying that “illegals” are the cause of all of society’s ills.

If someone says it again at an official government meeting, I say, prove it in your comments or stop saying it.

Cookies for a Cause

Select Girl Scouts throughout the Central and Western MA region, received an invitation to present 3,500 boxes of donated Girl Scout cookies to the 104th and to the U-S-O, through Project Care and Share, a Girl Scout program which collects and disperses boxes of cookies donated by customers, to be sent to American military personnel, serving overseas. After finishing the cookie-selling season with 225 boxes donated by her customers specifically for Project Care and Share, Cee-Cee Desalurier-Tate, age 9, of Milford Brownie Troop 30570 was honored to receive the opportunity to meet the brave women and men who had inspired her to both set and exceed her personal goal. “I felt my heart lift when I was standing with our heroes”, she said of her visit to the base.   

The girls from different troops and towns gathered on the base on a Friday afternoon, to meet Air National Guard women in uniform: most of whom, if not all, having been Girl Scouts themselves - including a current Girl Scout leader. The Girl Scouts learned of the roles which the various women fulfill in their lives, both in and out of uniform, then headed outside to receive a guided tour of an F-15 Eagle fighter jet, which included climbing steps to peer down inside the cockpit, to hear firsthand from a pilot, what it was like to fly such an amazing aircraft.

Project Care and Share, along with overall Girl Scout cookies sales, teach Girl Scouts financial literacy in running their own small business; the importance of setting goals; meeting and working with people; helping others; and many other important skills which they will use throughout their lives.

Cee-Cee Deslaurier-Tate, age 9, of Milford Brownie Troop 30570, presents a symbolic box of Girl Scout cookies to Colonel James Keefe, 104th Fighter Wing Base Commander, at Barnes Air National

Guard Base in Westfield. Shown in the photo are, l-r, Major Mary Harrington and Captain Katie Gauvin. Contributed photo .

Selectman Sign Consigli Tax Incentive

By Kevin RuddenStaff Reporter/Columnist

Although it still needed approval by Town Meeting Members at this past Monday’s Special Town Meeting, the Board of Selectmen signed the tax increment financing (TIF) agreement with Consigli Construction Company at its May 11 meeting. “It is contingent on Town Meeting approval, Chairman Brian Murray told company officials.

“Thank you very much. We appreciate your support,” said company president Anthony Consigli. The written agreement stated the company will maintain 329 full-time jobs and create 50 new, permanent full-time jobs after it builds a planned 20,000 square-foot office building next to its Sumner St. headquarters.

The TIF agreement says the company will demolish the existing building at 74 Sumner Street where an ambulance company was located calls and build the new facility there. Consigli Construction would see a reduction in property taxes on that new building starting at 95 percent in the first year and going down to 30 percent in the fifteenth and final year of the agreement. The company would save an estimated $643,408 in property taxes during that 15-year period, while the town would gain $377,867 more in property taxes than the company now pays on the site.

Lynn Tokarczyk, Consigli’s tax consultant, said the language in the agreement is the same as in the one the town approved in 2004 for the company to construct its headquarters building at 72 Sumner Street, with the wording updated to reflect any changes in state laws since then.

“It’s an exciting project,” Consigli said about the proposal. “We’re excited to be building in Milford.”

Milford Water Company RecognizedBy Kevin RuddenStaff Reporter/Columnist

The state Department of Environmental Protection’s (DEP) Drinking Water Program has recognized the Milford Water Company “for its outstanding performance in 2014 as a public water system.” The privately owned utility received the 2015 Public Water System Award earlier this month.

“MassDEP realizes that it is no easy task to keep up with the ever-evolving federal and state drinking water regulations. While most systems strive just to comply with the regulations, your system has put forth an extra effort for several years and has made significant upgrades to both your treatment plant and operations,” said Yvette DePeiza, program director, Drinking Water Program. “MassDEP encourages you to continue this level of excellence in carrying out your work of protecting and supplying safe and fit water to our citizens.”

“It’s especially rewarding to be honored for our operational efforts,” said David Condrey, manager of the Milford Water Company. “We’re proud of our new treatment plant, its effectiveness and efficiency, but we’ve put a lot of effort into making our everyday work match the effectiveness of the new plant. Working for the people and businesses of Milford is what drives us every day.”

The Milford Water Company was one of our regional providers of public water recognized by the DEP. The other regional winners were Fall River, Gloucester and Monson. “This recognition gives us added energy to continue our work,” Condrey said.

“Congratulations for all the hard work you and your staff have done,” said David White, president of the Milford Water Company, in an e-mail to Condrey. “To be recognized for improving water quality and exceeding the requirements is fantastic.”

Milford Condemns Tomaso Road Home

By Kevin RuddenStaff Reporter/Columnist

The Milford Board of Health voted unanimously on May 11 to condemn a home at 5 Tomaso Rd. as being “unsuitable for human habitation,” and gave owner David Timpany 10 days to find alternative housing before taking legal action to evict him. Separately, the town’s Department of Inspections declared the building “dangerous and unsafe” on May 4 because it lacks the required two means of egress.

Town officials who have inspected the inside of the house in February and again in April said it is filled with piles of debris and lacks working toilet facilities. Building Commissioner John Erickson cited the “physical condition and deterioration” of the home and noted the property is littered with “inoperable motor vehicles; used motor vehicle parts, tires, etc.; lawnmower parts; abandoned furniture, ladders building materials; and many more junk items.”

The conditions inside the house came to light after Timpany called firefighter/EMTs to assist him in mid-February. One of the first responders reported the situation to Health Agent Paul Mazzuchelli, and health inspectors visited the home the following day. During another medical response in mid-March, firefighters reported no running water, no electricity and no smoke detectors.

Health Agent Paul Mazzuchelli told Board of Health members on April 27 that conditions at the home have been mostly unchanged during subsequent inspections and visits. “We were concerned about the living conditions,” he said. At Town Counsel Gerald Moody’s suggestion that day, the board members agreed to visit the house themselves and take pictures to document what they see.

Timpany, present at the April 27 meeting, cited past illnesses that prevented him from tackling problems inside the house. “This has gotten out of control,” he admitted, but added, “I was working on it already” when he fell and called for help in February.

Veteran Agent John Pilla said the homeowner is a veteran, but is not currently a client of the Veterans Services department. The man did call him to ask for help in getting the Fire and Health departments to leave him alone, Pilla said at the April 27 Board of Health meeting.

Mazzuchelli urged board members to take action at the April meeting, saying, “I’m talking about something immediate here.” His April 15 letter to the property owner detailed conditions including a front portion of the roof in need of repair, piles of debris in the house, obstructed exits, a non-functioning kitchen sink, a non-accessible stove and the exterior of the property littered with junk.

“In my opinion and in the opinion of Health Inspector [Steve] Garabedian and Ms. [Rachel] Jachimczyk [a Protective Services worker], the overall condition of this dwelling is in a very unsanitary condition with unhealthy living conditions that could materially endanger or materially impair your health and safety, those who may come to visit you and the general public as well,” Mazzuchelli wrote to Timpany on April 15.

A group of town officials re-inspected Timpany’s home on May 4 and took pictures of the exterior and interior to document their case. Mazzuchelli said the board needed to act. “It’s for his own health and safety first, and then the neighbors,” he said. “The only reason we haven’t condemned it is we’re trying to find him housing,” board member Kenneth Evans said then.

The board’s official “findings” from the May 4 inspection cited the clutter; inadequate exits; a non-working kitchen sink that – with the kitchen stove – cannot be reached due to debris around them; the toilet, wash basin and shower not being accessible due to debris; a cellar cluttered with debris; difficult access to the basement sink and a non-functioning basement toilet; and, junk littering the exterior of the property.

“The living conditions endanger him,” board member Leonard Izzo said on May 11, adding they also pose a danger to any public safety officials going to the house. “We certainly can’t leave him in there,” Evans stated. “We’re trying to be as forceful as possible, but we have to give him time to find other housing.”

Planning Board Briefed on “Paper Street” House Lot

By Kevin RuddenStaff Reporter/Columnist

The Planning Board received a briefing at its May 5 meeting on a resident’s intent to build a house on a lot on Palerma St.– a private road known as a “paper street” that runs between Naples Court and Bay Rd., which both connect to Medway Rd. (Rt. 109) in Milford.

Local attorney Ernest Pettinari told the board that state law governing such a situation – Chapter 41, Section 81L – calls for the board to make a so-called “81L” determination that building a single-family house on the lot is a “reasonable use of the property.” To access the lot, a 90-foot extension would be paved from Naples Court to the site, he said.

“It’s an extension of a private road, that’s all it is,” said board member Patrick Kennelly, who also referred to the extension as a “driveway.”

Board Chairman Lena McCarthy noted that Town Engineer Vonnie Reis had written a list of conditions for the roadway, and Town Planner Larry Dunkin said Pettinari will return with a lot plan after the road improvements are completed.

Pettinari said the landowner has owned the lot in question since 1949 and the land will remain a single-family house lot.

Rite Aid “Warned” on Tobacco Sales

to MinorBy Kevin RuddenStaff Reporter/Columnist

The Rite Aid Pharmacy at 98 Prospect St. (Rt. 140) received an official “warning” from the Board of Health on May 11 for selling tobacco products to a minor. Action on a similar infraction by Plaza Shell at 139 Medway Rd. (Rt. 109) was deferred while the board researches the penalty it can impose for multiple infractions.

The “tobacco compliance check form” indicated that Rite Aid failed a May 2 “sting” by selling a Blu e-cigarette to a 15 year-old on May 2.

Store Manager James Connelly told the board he reviewed the store’s videotapes and confirmed the sale had taken place without an appropriate proof of age check. Following Rite Aid’s policy, the teen-age employee involved was fired and all employees at the location will be retrained, he said. “We obviously treat this very seriously. Our policy is to card” everyone, Connelly said. “This is a very big deal with us,” he repeated. He added of the offense, “Sometimes with the teenagers, they don’t get the gravity.”

The Board of Health’s policies call for up to a $100 fine for a first offense, a $200 fine for a second offense and $300 plus the possibility of revoking a store’s license for a third offense. Board member Kenneth Evans’ recommendation to give Rite Aid a “warning” was unanimously adopted.

Both Evans and board member Leonard Izzo said Plaza Shell had multiple offenses. Evans said he wanted to ask Town Counsel Gerald Moody whether the board could go right to the license suspension phase of punishment. “Plaza Shell has been a thorn in our sides for a number of years,” Izzo said.

The “tobacco compliance check form” indicated that Plaza Shell sold a pack of Marlboro cigarettes to the same 15 year-old on May 2 without a required proof of age check.

“Sharps” Disposal Now Available at Transfer Station

By Kevin RuddenStaff Reporter/Columnist

The town is now allowing Milford residents to dispose of their medical “sharps” – syringes, lancets and other sharp medical utensils – at the transfer station on Cedar St. (Rt. 85) during its normal hours of operation.

Health Agent Paul Mazzuchelli and the Board of Health recommended on May 4 that people bringing sharps to the transfer station in puncture-proof containers that are made of a heavy-duty plastic and have tight-fitting lids – such as empty plastic laundry detergent containers.

“The program is available for the personal use of Milford residents who have a medical condition that requires the use of injected medication,” the board stated. “Businesses and professional offices such as medical, dental, veterinarian offices, etc. will not be allowed to participate in this program.”

The Board of Health said that participants using the sharps disposal program should:

• Place needles, syringes, lancets and other sharp objects into an approved bio-medical waste sharps container or a heavy-duty plastic container such as a detergent bottle, or a metal container with a screw-on top that can be secured and tightly closed.

• Reinforce the closure by securing it with heavy-duty tape.

• Not use clear plastic or glass containers.• Bring in sharps containers when they are about

three-quarters full.• Never place the sharps container in regular trash

disposal.

Town Meeting Members approved taking $60,000 from the Excess and Deficiency account to continue retaining consultants and other expert services to evaluate the potential acquisition of the privately owned Milford Water Company. Work done by the consultants to date has established that “it’s apparent the town can afford to do it,” Town Counsel Gerald Moody said. He added, “Discussions with the company have been cordial, but not fruitful.” If the town needs to go to the state Department of Public Utilities (DPU) to have it set a value for the utility, the $60,000 will need to be used, Moody said.

The longest discussion during the three-hour session was the Board of Selectmen’s request to amend the Zoning By-law regarding signs on publicly owned athletic fields or school property. With a two-thirds majority vote needed to pass the amendment, it failed by an 85 “yes” to 56 “no” vote.

Which Comes First: the Store or the Sign? ZBA Nixes Woodland School Sign

Fernandes Ensures Local Projects Part of FY 16 House Budget

By Kevin RuddenStaff Reporter/Columnist

The Zoning Board of Appeals and the managers of the Kmart Plaza on Medway Rd. (Rt. 109) wrestled with the question of “Which comes first, the store or the sign?” at the board’s May 14 meeting.

Al Rossi, a vice president with RD Management Corporation of New York City, said a major retailer wants to relocate to a 50,000 square-foot portion of the former Kmart store building, but wants a sign erected that can be seen from nearby Interstate 495. Once that retailer is signed to a lease, other compatible businesses will follow, he said. “We absolutely need to have visibility from 495 to attract major national retailers,” Rossi said.

But, Chairman David Consigli noted that all other national outlets in Milford built their buildings first and then came in and applied for non zoning compliant signs. “This is the cart before the horse,” he said. Consigli also noted that the ZBA has seen no master plan for signs within the plaza, noting there is “no continuity in any of the signs.”

Grant Michael of Hudson, New Hampshire-based Barlo Signs explained that his company originally proposed an 80-foot tall and 320 square-foot sign, but scaled its height back to 60 feet after ZBA members objected to that higher height at a previous meeting. The town’s Zoning By-laws laws allow a maximum sign height of 30 feet and a maximum sign size of 100 square feet in commercial and industrial zones.

One reason for the requested height is that the highway is 20 to 25 feet in elevation above the Kmart plaza site, Michael

explained. At 60 feet, the proposed sign would be visible to cars traveling south on I-495, he said. The sign basically would have the logos of the four stores going into the old Kmart building, he said.

Michael compared the sign to the one for Ira Toyota of Fortune Boulevard, which he said was 60 feet tall and located 10 feet above the roadway grade. Consigli noted that sign was allowed after the company had located in Milford. The board would be sensitive to the needs of a company after it commits to being in Milford, he said.

“Our objective is to redevelop the former Kmart building,” Rossi said. “It’s a total redevelopment of an old, tired shopping center,” is how he described plans for another building and a rebuilt parking lot at the site.

Board member David Pyne said he had no problem with the requested sign’s height, but was concerned that once a lease was signed, the retailer would want something different. Board member John Dagnese said the applicant should explore getting the trees along the highway cut to improve the visibility of the plaza. Board member Mark Calzolaio said he had no problems with a 60-foot sign, saying it would help businesses in the plaza to attract customers. Board member Charles DiAntonio asked how the board could balance the issue of wanting the retailer first with the board’s desire to control the sign.

Rossi then proposed providing Town Counsel Gerald Moody with a copy of the proposed lease with the retail company interested in the site to show that there is a clause within it calling for a sign that can be seen from the interstate. The ZBA then continued its hearing until June 18.

square feet of office space on Sumner St. The company plans to tear down the existing building next door that used to house an ambulance company and replace it with another 20,000-square foot of office space estimated to cost $5.5 million to build and equip.

Town Meeting members adjourned the Annual Town Meeting to take up the Special Town Meeting warrant on which the Consigli Construction agreement was the first of two articles. The second article – which asked Town Meeting Members to transfer unexpended funds from the May, 2013 and May, 2014 Annual Town Meetings’ articles related to Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) applications – also passed without debate. Selectman William Buckley said these funds would be used to produce engineering drawings, plans, specifications and pay for grant-writing costs to apply for any Fiscal Year 20 state or federal grant applications.

The House recently passed a $38.05 billion state budget for Fiscal Year 2016, announced Rep. John V. Fernandes, D-Milford. The budget includes targeted investments in core state services in addition to increased local aid for cities and towns, and support for local initiatives in the greater Milford area.

The spending bill highlights the House’s ongoing commitment to fiscal prudence and targeted investments. The budget includes no new taxes or fees and reduces its reliance on one-time revenue sources. For the first time since 2007, it does not withdraw any funds from the Commonwealth’s stabilization fund, leaving the balance in excess of $1 billion.

“During every budget season, I am presented with many local requests in the critical areas of public safety, youth programming, energy efficiency, and parks improvements,” Fernandes said. “I was successful in including significant

funding for many of these important goals in the final House budget report. These worthwhile projects, if ultimately authorized in late June or early July, will provide hazardous material protective gear for the Hopedale Fire Department, fund energy efficiency upgrades associated with Mendon’s public library project, and benefit hundreds of disadvantaged youth served by the Milford Youth Center and many more area residents that enjoy the diverse recreational opportunities offered at Fino Field.”

These local projects were included in the final House budget:

• $50,000 for the Milford Youth Center;• $50,000 for energy efficiency

improvements affiliated with Mendon’s library project;

• $30,000 for fire safety gear for Hopedale;

• $50,000 in ongoing improvements to historic Fino Field in Milford

The Zoning Board of Appeals voted unanimously on May 14 to deny the Woodland Elementary School Building Committee permission to erect an electronic message board-type sign near the school’s entrance. Numerous North Vine St. homeowners came to the meeting to oppose the sign, saying it did not belong in a residential neighborhood.

Dan Niro, who lives at 7 North Vine St., directly across the street from the school, challenged the authority of the building committee to apply for the sign, saying that two of its members told him no committee vote was ever taken to do that. “We did vet the sign situation,” Committee Chair Aldo Cecchi said, reading relevant portions of committee meeting minutes from last September, October and November that mentioned the sign. His committee does not take votes on every issue before it, often making decisions by consensus, he explained.

The proposed sign would be located 15 to 20 feet off North Vine St., between two driveways, Cecchi said. It would be visible to vehicles traveling on either Congress St. or Highland St., he said. Cecchi said there was no exact location designated yet for the sign. ZBA Chair David Consigli said it would have been helpful to have a site plan indicating the sign’s location.

“I don’t believe it will” annoy the neighbors, Cecchi said of the sign. “I’m

not proposing we have a sign on at North Vine St. at midnight.” The ZBA could limit the hours the sign could be illuminated, he suggested. “Believe me, I’m not looking to illuminate everyone’s house on Vine Street,” he said.

“An electronic sign like at Dunkin’ Donuts does not belong in a residential neighborhood,” said one of the residents attending the meeting. “This proposal is in the category of a commercial sign,” agreed Shirley Niro. “This is one of those times to use the power bestowed on you to protect the residents,” she added.

John Seaver of 7 Debbie Lane said none of the other school buildings in town have an electronic message board sign, instead using lighted signs with replaceable lettering. Woodland, he said, is located in the “most residential area” of any of the schools.

Dan Niro said there are only three electronic message board signs in town – at the prison guards’ union building and Dunkin’ Donuts store on Rt. 140 and at a doctor’s office on West St. – and said they give an image that is “tasteless, gaudy and low-class appearance.”

Drivers on North Vine St. don’t usually follow the speed limit and the sign would distract them, said Gerald Bruscia of Redwood Dr. He opposed the sign, saying, “I think it’s a safety factor, plain and simple.”

Cecchi noted the opposition to the sign, but asked the ZBA members to vote on the request before them.

Barbara BerardiU.S. Navy Veteran

What is it that makes me proud to be an American is my family. My father liked the Bill of Rights. He studied them and quoted them.  He could also recite the Gettysburg Address.

My mother was proud of her family’s early arrival to the U.S. in 1824 and their accomplishments in the early statehood of Maine. Her English teacher’s mother was Julia Ward Howe, who wrote The Battle Hymn of the Republic. She proudly told of Julia during one Memorial Day while leading the local high school in singing this hymn. My uncle presented the children with a new flag each 4th of July with instructions as to its care, and to always stand tall as the flag passed by.  

I grew up in the deprived conditions of the depression, yet when World War II threatened this sad existence my brothers responded with one serving in the Marines and one in the Coast Guard. I joined the Navy serving in the Bureau of Medicine and Surgery. Back home I met and married a former Army Combat Veteran with the same pride in the military and our flag. For 65 years he has kept the U.S. Flag flying at our home.

Henry E. BertulliU. S. Army Veteran

First I want to say that I am proud my parents were able to come from Italy to the United States and that they became American citizens. Then my three brothers, my two sisters, and I were born in Milford and had the freedom and

the opportunity to grow up with the possibility for an even easier and better life than our older relatives had. 

At the age of 18 I decided that I wanted to serve my country during World War II so I enlisted in the U.S. Army. After serving in the Philippines and Okinawa, I could see first hand how much more advanced and capable our country is. I am proud also that my brothers served our country. We were all fortunate to return home after the war, but deeply saddened that so many of our brave friends were lost. Still we could be proud that we all came together in some way to defend the United States.

When I got out of the service I could have continued my education, but I decided I would like to get married and have a family. Eventually my wife and I had six children and worked to raise our family unit until retirement.  We were proud our boys prospered and enjoyed life. I’m proud to see my grandchildren and great grandchildren enjoy the benefits of a proud and free country of countless opportunities.

I’ve often told my family that “free” does not mean without any cost or effort or that anything will be given to you, but you can get an education and work hard to better yourself and help others.

Ralph SteevesWorld War II Veteran

I grew up the hard way on a farm in Glenwood, Maine and was raised as poor farm folks. In 1943, I guess you can say I was fortunate to have been a Canadian citizen, who joined the American Army. After training in Spartanburg, S.C. I was sent to England to serve with the 101 Airborne for two years.

As a rifleman I was assigned to D Day and was in combat two months behind German lines. I am more

than proud to have served my adopted country, the USA, and my native country Canada.

I guess you might call it a win-win situation.

BVT Girls Make Strides at Varsity

LevelBy Chris VillaniSports Reporter/ColumnistMidway through Blackstone Valley Tech’s first girls lacrosse season at the varsity level, head coach Kerry Moynihan says she’s pleased with the progress made by the fledgling program so far. “I think things are going well, it’s been a new challenge,” she said. “We have had to do some rescheduling with the weather at the beginning of the year and that has been a extra challenge. It’s been crazy, but we are having a good season.”BVT will bear the brunt of the rescheduled games soon, with four on the docket for next week. The Beavers’ schedule to this point has included a win over Bristol-Plymouth and a few hard fought defeats. Win or lose, BVT has sent a strong message that it belongs at this level.“For the most part, we have played well and it’s exciting to see our girls running with other, more established programs and being competitive,” Moynihan said. “I see good things in our future.”In the win over Bristol-Plymouth, BVT scored 12 goals and built a solid lead early in the game. “We kept them three or four goals away from us for the entire game and really came out strong,” Moynihan said. “We showed good confidence and good communication. The win was also at home which always helps, the girls feel more comfortable and their parents can come cheer them on.”Sophomore Kindred Cain leads the team with 13 goals on the season and senior captain Samantha Smith is second with seven tallies. Fellow captains Becka Dubovsky and Victoria Webber have helped supply necessary leadership during the transitional season and sophomore Ellie DeLucia has stood tall between the pipes. The goalie held off an onslaught of shows against Nashoba, stopped 22 of them and helped her team stay within striking distance in a narrow defeat.“Ellie was incredible in that game,” Moynihan said. “That was also an important game for learning to stay confident if we are behind. They took the lead, but in the second half we went goal-for-goal with them.”Moynihan says she has learned a lot in the team’s first year as a varsity program. Among the lessons is not to forget about the fundamentals even with her team playing a higher caliber brand of lacrosse.“You can’t forget about the basics,” she said. “We are starting to include new plays into our offense but we still have to get the ball up the field and make sure our passes are clean. It’s important that we don’t get ahead of ourselves.”All in all, Moynihan says the experience has been a positive. “The girls are having a lot of fun,” she said. “It can be frustrating when you work this hard and we know our record could be a bit better. We have to keep reminding ourselves that it is our first year and take those small victories as they come. We are setting ourselves up for the future and those little victories will eventually turn into something bigger.”

BVT Baseball Building Towards Districts

By Chris VillaniSports Reporter/ColumnistIt’s easy to see the Blackstone Valley Tech baseball team as simply rolling towards the district tournament with a 14-1 overall record and a perfect mark in the Colonial Athletic League, but head coach Scott Felper doesn’t quite see it that way. Even with a squad that’s averaged more than 13 runs, the highest total in the area, and won games by an average of 11 runs, he’s still seeing some room for improvement.“We are still building,” Felper said. “We are still getting ready for the end of the year and the tournament. We are trying to work out the kinks and mistakes we have made and keep getting better every day. We want to work on everything, top to bottom, every day. There is no one thing. No matter how solid I think we are, we keep working.”Felper said situational baseball is one of the biggest things the Beavers continue to work on as they enjoy success that includes a four-game winning streak coming into this week and only one defeat, a 6-5 loss to West Boylston at the end of April.Senior Austin LaBastie and junior Tyler Brodeur have lead the way for Valley Tech on the mound. Senior Sam Danis has lead off the lineup, excelling in the role of the leadoff hitter. “Sam does a great job in the leadoff role,” Felper said. “He has been able to set the tone for us and he is getting used to the idea of being a leadoff hitter.”Senior third baseman Colin Fiorentino has been a constant in the number three spot in the Beavers’ batting order. Danny Burdick has started at second base and Felper calls him the team’s “vocal leader.” Another senior, Andrew Carroll, has plugged a number of holes on the field, including on the mound.“Carroll is like our Brock Holt,” Felper said in reference to the Red Sox utility man. “That kid can play anywhere on the field.”The overall depth of the Valley Tech roster is a big part of the reason why the first year coach feels this is a team that could put together a deep run in the district tournament.“I think this team has a ton of potential,” Felper said. “We have a ton of experience and maturity on this team and if they keep the same mentality, this is a group that can make a lot of noise come playoff time.”It would be nothing new for Valley Tech, which has seen a great deal of success on the baseball diamond over the past several years.“I think the more you win, the more pressure you can create for yourself because you keep setting the bar of expectations higher and higher,” Felper said. “But these guys manage expectations and get ready for each game. We want them to stay in the moment, just keep winning each pitch and each at bat.”

New Hope Opts for Alternative 5KNew Hope, Inc. – a nonprofit organization working to end

domestic and sexual violence in our communities – announces the cancellation of its June 6 5K Race and Family Fun Walk due to scheduling conflicts reported by the Franklin School District late last week.

Of the cancellation, New Hope’s Executive Director Marcia Szymanski notes, “Obviously we are saddened by the School District’s decision, as the race was an opportunity to promote the free community safety services offered by New Hope to Franklin residents. But, as an agency that coaches resilience, we’re going to regroup and try a new approach to reach those in need of our help.”

The new approach comes in the form of a “virtual” New Hope 5K the agency has launched via CrowdRise, an online crowd-sourcing platform. “We’re encouraging our supporters to share their stories and show their love for New Hope through a virtual community,” said Szymanski. The New Hope Virtual 5K can be found at CrowdRise.com/NewHopeVirtual5K

Colabello Back in the Majors

Barry MarcusWatchmaker

508-478-8043258 Main Street •�Room 303

Across from Milford Post Office“All watches, antique to modern quartz, repaired and serviced.”

Growing up in Massachusetts cheering for the Red Sox, it had to be pretty satisfying for Chris Colabello to light up New York Yankees pitching. The Milford native was recalled to the Major Leagues from AAA on May 5 and promptly began tearing up his favorite team’s longtime rival.

A member of the Toronto Blue Jays, Colabello went 2-for-4 with a run scored in his first game back in the show and added another double and four more hits the following day.

Talk about giving Boston fans a reason to cheer.It might have been a bit more of a mixed

reaction when he turned the tables on his hometown team. Colabello hit his first home run of the season in his team’s next series against the Red Sox, driving a 3-1 fastball from Wade Miley over the fence in right field. He also added a three-hit performance as the Jays took two-of-three from Boston.

Since being recalled, the 2001 Milford High grad has hit a blistering .396 (19-for-48) with a home run and six runs batted in. He has seen time in right field, at first base, and as the team’s designated hitter.

After spending parts of the last two seasons with the Minnesota Twins, Colabello is making himself at home in the Toronto organization. He began the year in AAA Buffalo and hit .337 with five home runs and 18 RBIs through 23 games before being called up.

Colabello got off to a similar hot start last season before an injury derailed his season. He suffered from nerve inflammation and ended up back in AAA. After staying away from swinging the bat for most of the fall, he intended on going back to Twins camp and competing for a spot on the 25-man roster. Minnesota designated him for assignment, however, and he was waived by the Twins in December. Not long after, the Blue Jays put in a claim, and the stage was set for a return to the Majors north of the border.

One of the byproducts of Colabello’s injury last season is the fact that he did not get to play against the Red Sox at Fenway Park. The Twins sent him to AAA before making their only trip to Boston last summer. He will have another chance to play in front of a hometown crowd from June 12 through 14 when the Blue Jays come to town for a three game series.

MHS Boys Volleyball Peaking for Postseason

By Chris VillaniSports Reporter/Columnist

As the Milford High School boys volleyball team wraps up the regular season and turns its attention to the playoffs, head coach Linda Zacchilli is hoping a tough schedule will pay dividends in the second season. The Scarlet Hawks may not be at the top of the standings, since won-loss record is the only factor to determine seeding, but there’s no question Zacchilli’s team is battle-tested.

“We have a very competitive schedule,” she said. “We play teams from all over the state and because of that, I’m not sure whether we will have a home match in the playoffs.”

Milford began the week 12-5 with matches against Randolph and Brockton on the docket. The Hawks dropped matches to Wellesley and Lawrence in the past couple of weeks, but rebounded for wins over Taunton, Marlboro, and Millis.

“Our strong points right now are from behind the service line and the fact that I have multiple attackers,” Zacchilli said. “It makes it hard for teams to zero in on any one player.”

Three players, senior co-captain Erik Vega, senior middle hitter Devin Lemote, and senior right side hitter Earl Bassett, all have more than 100 kills on the season. Vega leads the way with 196. Senior-co-captain Stevan Luna is the team’s setter, but has also been strong on the attack with 94 kills, a sign of the squad’s versatility.

“Stevan quarterbacks the team, but he has been getting the chance to swing at a few balls because Bassett is capable of setting.” Zacchilli said. “The two compliment each other well. They are both versatile across the net, strong in the back row, and strong from behind the service line.”

Senior Lucas Bentes and junior Paulo Xavier have stood out on the block, and junior middle hitter Michael Haver has been able to work his way into the lineup more consistently as the season has progressed. Milford has also welcomed the return of senior David Abrego. The defensive specialist suffered a torn ACL during the football season and finally returned to the court last week, just in time for the postseason.

Junior backup setter Ryan White, 6’7” senior Dylan Leahy, and senior outside hitter Seth Little help round out one of Zacchilli’s deepest and most versatile varsity floors in awhile.

The head coach said she hopes he team responds well to the challenge of having to play road matches in the postseason. Milford entered the week 8-1 at home and just 4-4 away from the MHS gym. “We are not always great on the road,” she said. “We have not been as consistent as we are when we play in Milford, which is why I am hoping we can grab a home court advantage in the opening round. But we will have to wait and see how the seeding comes out.”

“This is a group with great leadership,” she added. “The captains and seniors have been very good all season, and they work very hard.”

Zacchilli Named Boys Volleyball Coach of the Year

By Chris VillaniSports Reporter/Columnist

Linda Zacchilli is no stranger to winning. She’s won awards, championships, and is inducted into multiple halls of fame. But winning the MIAA 2015 Boys Volleyball Coach of the Year Award is particularly special for a couple of reasons. First of all, it’s recognition for a lifetime of coaching excellence.

Second, and perhaps more importantly, it was an award initiated by her team.

“I really can’t think of any other way to feel better about an award than have your own team nominate you,” she said. “I am thrilled and honored, I could not have been any happier when I found out.”

When her 2015 squad learned about the award, they went to work contacting the MIAA and filling out the necessary paperwork. They contacted Zacchilli’s husband, Nick, and son, Peter, to get the necessary biographical information, and sent in what ended up being the winning nomination. “For a group of high school kids to go through that process, that alone is pretty impressive,” she said.

Zacchilli is one of the driving forces behind creating boys volleyball in the state and building it into what it has become today. 30 years ago, boys and girls competed together. Zacchilli says she recalls losing a postseason match to a team with five boys on the floor and said “I can’t let that happen in Milford.”

She knew a group of boys who wanted to play. She encouraged them to start a petition to create the program and, in 1985, they did. The team started out learning the fundamentals and transitioning from the game played in phys-ed classes to the sport Zacchilli has spent her life teaching.

Results, as they typically do for teams she has coached, came quickly. Four years later that group went to the state semi-finals and later earned induction as a team into the Milford High School Hall of Fame. “I have had a lot of great teams and great kids that I’ve worked with,” Zacchilli said. “But when I think about coaching boys volleyball, I always think about that team and the early years of the program.”

Zacchilli also points to her back-to-back state finalists in 2012 and 2013 as being among her most memorable teams. “The second one was even sweeter because we lost a lot of seniors and still went all the way back to the state title match,” she said. “That team will always be a highlight.”

Through the many wins and far fewer losses, Zacchilli has tutored hundreds of boys who continue to come back and give back to the program that meant to much to them. Alumni come to practices to meet the current team and they packed the gym last week for Milford’s Coaches vs. Cancer fundraiser match against Lawrence. Zacchilli had been cancer-free for five years, but is battling a relapse this spring. The emotional lift provided by so many former players returning to see her is a greater reward for a stellar career than any championship, award, or hall of fame induction.

“The kids came down from the stands and we all took a picture together at the game,” she said. “Seeing all of the athletes I have coached over the years, they keep coming back and showing their support. Those are the moments I will always cherish.

Defensive Woes Plague MHS Baseball

By Chris VillaniSports Reporter/ColumnistThe Milford High School baseball team started the week having

lost four of its previous five games. Head coach Paul Pellegrini doesn’t have to look long and hard to figure out the reason for the struggles. “Our defense has not helped us at all, it’s been a struggle,” he said. “We have hit the ball well. We lost three games in the past couple of weeks while scoring eight runs twice and nine runs once. That should be enough to win a baseball game on any given day.”Just how bad has it been? “I can’t even tell you how many unearned

runs we have allowed,” he said. “I can’t count that high.”Milford was able to tighten things up in its most recent contest

before this week, a 3-2 loss to a strong Catholic Memorial squad that dropped the overall record to 8-7 with five games to play. Pellegrini is hopeful that will be the beginning of a turning of the tides for the Scarlet Hawks.“It’s nothing physical and I don’t think it’s laziness or a lack

of preparation,” he said. “I think guys get comfortable in their positions sometimes and that can be a bad thing when you don’t play with a bit of an edge. It’s frustrating to coach and see one mistake after another, you wonder whether we are mentally into it. I am trying to figure it out, I can’t remember being so frustrated as a coach.”While the defense has struggled, the Milford offense has managed

to put plenty of cooked numbers on the board. Freshman Aidan Wilde leads the team with a .547 batting average. “He has been consistent throughout the season,” Pellegrini said. “He is a ballplayer, you can tell when he is at the plate nothing really phases or rattles him.”Older brother Drew Wilde has also been a constant in the Milford

batting order and Jeff Besozzi has found his groove in the middle of the lineup. On the mound, Alex Croteau has maintained an ERA under 2.00 and Brian Ireland and Griffin Lynch continue to give their team a chance to win when they pitch.“There is always room for improvement, and our pitching could be

better, but when you don’t play any defense it puts more pressure on everyone,” Pellegrini said.The head coach is looking for the close and relatively clean loss to

Catholic Memorial to be a sign of better things to come. “We don’t just want to win two of these last five games and sneak into the playoffs, we want to win them all,” he said. “We are capable of doing that. We played a good Eastern Mass team in CM and we were a hit away from tying or winning that game. You never like losing, but it’s encouraging to see us compete against a strong team.”He added, “Hopefully the defensive struggles are behind them

now. We have a job to do, and it starts right now.”

Chaplin Wins Boys Swim Coach of the Year MHS Softball Captures League

TitleBy Chris VillaniSports Reporter/Columnist

Milford High softball head coach Steve DiVitto had three goals in mind for his team at the beginning of the season. By winning the Hockomock League’s Davenport Division, the Scarlet Hawks can cross one of them off the list. “League title, district title, state title,” DiVitto said. “If you don’t expect to be great then how will you ever be. I want these girls to set the bar high.”

As a result, the head coach didn’t congratulate his team for locking up a spot in the postseason, which only requires a .500 record. “Call me crazy, but I don’t think that is a big accomplishment,” he said. “Maybe it’s cocky, but that was not a goal to start the season, it was expected.”

Milford began the week 13-3 overall and riding a five-game winning streak. During the run, the bats have come alive and the pitching has been equally impressive. DiVitto’s group has outscored its last five opponents by a combined total of 63-3, including four shutout wins. Last week, Milford blanked Foxboro 14-0, beat Canton 11-0, and kept Oliver Ames off the scoreboard in a 12-0 victory.

If you ask DiVitto who’s been standing out in his lineup, he has no choice but to resort to a classic coaching cliché. “It’s been a team effort,” he said. “We have had games where the bottom of the lineup has picked us up and others where the top of the order has done the job. It’s great, because there has not been a game all year where we haven’t been competitive, and that’s the important part.”

It may be a cliché, but the numbers back him up. Senior Allie Piersgustavo leads the team with a .542 batting average and five home runs. Fellow senior Taylor LeBrun is hitting .491 with a team-high 24 RBIs. Emily Piersgustavo, Megan Jacques, and Sydney Pounds are all hitting over .400. The rest of the lineup, including Jill Powers, Kate Irwin, Maggie Farrell, Maddie Bonvino and Kaitlyn DeCapua, all fall somewhere between .300 and .400.

“To have our entire lineup hitting over .300 is incredible, it’s insane,” DiVitto said.

Sophomore Ali Atherton and freshman Kelley Reichert have split time in the circle. Atherton is 7-2 on the season with a 1.90 ERA, while Reichert checks in at 6-1 with a minute 0.71 ERA. It’s little surprise the combination of hitting and pitching has the head coach confident about his team’s capabilities headed into the postseason.

“The sky’s the limit,” DiVitto said. “If we play the way we are capable of playing, we are going to compete against any team in the state, and our girls believe that.”

As for the bar of expectation, that’s only getting higher. He said, “The only way to be great is to expect to be great and prepare to be great, and they do.”

When Dave Chaplin was 12-years-old, he was taking lessons at the pool at Fino Field when he was asked if he wanted to take part in a swim meet. He said yes, rode his bike to the town pool, and competed for the first time. Nearly five decades later, much of his career has been dedicated to swimming. The MIAA will recognize that career by naming Chaplin the 2015 MIAA Boys Swim Coach of the Year.

“It was a very flattering thing, I can’t say enough about it,” Chaplin said. “Some great people have gotten this award before me, including people who have been mentors of mine. I am just a rec-swim kid from a baseball town, so this is truly an incredible honor.”

Among Chaplin’s mentors are longtime swimming coach Pete Foley, who founded the Weston swim program in 1972, and Warren Heller, who first asked Chaplin to take part in a meet and became his first coach. Chaplin started coaching a recreational team when he was 16-years old and has been coaching ever since. He said the nomination came from Milford High Athletic Director Peter Boucher, who hinted during the year that something big might be coming.

“He kept asking me for little tidbits of information here and there, but he told me it was no big deal and not to worry about it,” Chaplin said. “Finally he asked me to come see him and he showed me the letter saying I was the coach of the year. He said there were 80 to 100 nominations. To get through a process like that makes me as proud as can be.”

Chaplin graduated Milford High School in 1972. When the new high school, complete with a swimming pool, he began a coaching career that saw him build one of the strongest swimming programs in the area. As he grew as a coach, Chaplin learned valuable lessons from three legendary coaches in other sports. He said watching longtime baseball coach Joe Stoico helped instill a deep pride in the Milford program. Hall of Fame football coach Dick Corbin taught him about attention to detail, organization, and an ability to focus on the big picture. Another hall of fame on the gridiron, Dennis Breen, impressed Chaplin with how he treated his players and put them in the best position to be successful. “I watched those guys and I really tried to blend my own philosophy as a coach with what I learned from them,” he said.

Chaplin also credits longtime AD Nick

Zacchilli, who encouraged him to take risks and expand the program. When Milford had the opportunity to swim in the Long Island Invitational, Zacchilli worked to help cover the cost and make sure the trip happened.

“I have had great people who have worked with me through the years to get things done,” Chaplin said. “From parents to assistant coaches to administration to the athletes, this doesn’t happen because of one guy.”

Through his time in the coaching ranks, Chaplin has seen his swimmers go on to captain college swim teams and compete at the highest level. He worked to strengthen and unite the swim coaches’ association, one of his proudest accomplishments during his time at Milford. And he’s helped build MHS swimming into an established and revered program.

“The respect we have as a program is something I am very proud of,” he said. “Our athletes learn how to swim, they learn how to race, and they truly take pride in the Milford swimming.”

Mystery of Three Photos Partially Solved

In our April 10 issue we printed three photos sent in by Jen Ward, assistant director of the Milford Youth Center, that were found in the walls of the Milford Armory by a contractor during its recent renovation.

Local historian, Robin Philbin recently called the Town Crier and sent in a letter that helped clear up some of the mystery surrounding the photos of the three young men. He noted that the Armory, which was built around 1912 was dedicated to the memory of Milford residents who had served in the Spanish American War. The war occurred from April through August1898 and was the most recent conflict for the United States during the period of the Armory’s construction.

Philbin believes that the photos in the Armory walls are those of three of the Milford soldiers who had served in that conflict and died as a result of their involvement in the war.

Doing some research he discovered a

listing in the Milford Town Report for 1899 that gives the names of five residents who were war casualties. Philbin writes, “Under ‘Milford Soldiers in the Spanish-American War’, pages 41-44, [of the 1899 Milford Town Report] I found the following names as casualties of the war. Sergeant Asa B. Trask, died in Puerto Rico August 23, 1898 of typhoid fever; Private Paul T. French, died October 24, 1898 of typhoid fever and buried at sea; Private Charles E. Johnson, died January 1, 1899 Milford from consumption; Private Patrick Kelly, died November 29,1898 from typhoid fever; and Private Arthur Wilkinson, died June 17, 1898 in Puerto Rico from typhoid fever.”

Philbin added, “I am, however unable to place the names to the pictures in the paper and they are not identified in the Armory’s dedication booklet.”

We appreciate the information and thank Philbin for his work in clearing up part of the mystery behind these three photos.
