She didn’t plan on a being a herothat day. On March 3, Millisfourth-grader Lydia Grace Fla-herty boarded her school bus asshe did on any other day.A suddenturn of events, however, propelledLydia into the role of a hero, as shetook control of a bad situation andultimately saved the life of her busdriver, Danielle Wainwright. OnMay 14,Millis Police and Fire of-ficials, alongwithWainwright andher two small children, came toLydia’s classroom at Clyde F.Brown Elementary to presentLydia with a commendation fromtheMillis Police Department.

Wainwright explains what hap-pened that day, “I was having anasthma attack, and (since) I hadn’thad one in two years, I didn’t have

an inhaler with me.” Wainwrightsays the asthma was triggeredwhen one of the students on thebus sprayed an aerosol deodorant,“Axe,” into the air.AsWainwrightpulled the bus to the side of theroad, she discovered she couldn’tspeak. She handed a cell phone offto a student, but the children didnot know how to use the phone todial for help. Lydia, recognizingthat the bus driver was in trouble,then took charge, using the busradio to call the Superintendent’sOffice for help.

The commendation applaudsLydia’s next actions. “By callingthe Superintendent’s Office on thebus radio, you advised all respon-ders of the proper location and thatthe passengers on the bus were

Theymeet once amonth, at eachother’s residences, for a little bit ofgood food, good discussion and todiscuss the bits and pieces of his-tory in the making. They’re theCharles River Questers, Chapter970 of Medfield, of an interna-tional organization that unites toeducate others through the studyof antiques and donate funds forthe preservation of historical arti-

facts and landmarks. On May 21,at their end of the year social, theCharles River Questers met inMillis for a programcalled “Petro-liania,” at the home of a true col-lector, JeffreyMushnick, owner ofMedway Oil Company. For firsttime ever,Mushnick displayed hisextensive collection of petroliana,or antiques related to gas stationsand the oil business.

“Some of these items have never

seen the light of day,” quips third-generation oil businessmanMush-nick, whose grandfather firstsparked his in antiques relating tohis area of expertise. The first itemhe ever collected was a MedwayCoal andGrainCo. yardstick fromwhen, “telephone numbers weretwo numbers,” he laughs, pointingto the number 96 on the yardstick.

While it’s no surprise that some-one in his industrywould be inter-

ested in this type of historic para-phernalia, Mushnick took his pas-sion for collecting beyond that ofanyone else in his family. His col-lection is complete with 80-year-old highway maps, clocks,mascot-shaped oilcans and toy ve-hicles, among other items, allbranded with various names fromthe petroleum industry. With a

Asked how she was able tomuster the courage to take charge,Lydia replied, “I don’t know. I just

did.” She notes that the Kinder-gartnerswere “freaking out,” so “Itold them to go to the back of thebus and stay calm.”

ItwasLydia’s ability to stay calmthat most impressed Peter Mc-Gowan, Chief of theMillis PoliceDepartment. “Themost importantfactor is how she kept calm. She

didn’t panic,” he notes. “She wasable to call for help. She’s a re-sponsible little girl. It’s nice to seesomeone so mature and responsi-ble at that age.”

Lydia was asked how she wouldadvise another child faced with asimilar situation. “Just stay calmand dowhat you can do,” she said.

“Very good.” That’s all thatJoseph Tannetta, author of thethree-page winning essay forMil-lis Mother of the Year had to saywhen asked howhe felt aboutwin-ning. His winning letter couldn’tsay enough, however, about hisgrandmother,Maryellen Jordan, ashe challenged the judges to “lookall through space and the distantplanets” to “find a better person totake care of you.” Jordan andJoseph’s grandfather, his name-sake, have raised their grandson

from the age of six months.

“ I wasn’t feeling well. I had justgotten chemo a few days before,and I got a call from the MillisRecreation Department,” saysMaryellen. “I started bawling. Ijust couldn’t stop crying. Ilaughed. I cried. (The letter) wasso comical. I called all my rela-tives, even my nephew who livesinAustralia.”

Says Joseph, “I didn’t reallyknow I won the contest until Mrs.Fogarty came to the classroomand

told me I won. I thought I was introuble.”

“I’m so proud, because he tellsme everything,” says Jordan. “Wehave the best relationship. We areso close.”

Jordan has also raised five chil-dren and is expecting two moregrandchildren. “Not one day ofmylife has he felt like a grandson,”said Jordan. “He’s always felt likemy son.”

Jordan’s family continues toovercome battleswith illness. “Six

years ago, they told me I only had18 months to live,” says Jordan,who is undergoing a second roundof treatment for stage four ovariancancer. In addition to fighting herown illness, the grandmother did-n’t leave her grandson’s side inDecember of last year, whenJoseph underwent an emergencyappendectomy. “We thought he’dhave to go to summer school, be-cause he’dmissed somuch school,but he caught up,” says Jordan,beaming.

That pride is clearly mutual, asJoseph also glows during the inter-view.Hiswinning letter praises hisNana for helping everyone, cook

It’s a grisly scene inMillis onMay4. Twisted metal, smashed glass,bloodied passengers and a slew ofemergency personnel and vehiclesgrab the eye. There’s even a hearse,a testament to the serious nature ofwhat onlookers are witnessing.

Thankfully, however, no real carcrashoccurredhere, andparticipantsin thismockcrash, fromMillisHighSchool SADD officers, to MillisFirefighters and EMTS, to MillisPolice Department and the RobertsMitchell Funeral Service, hope thatthis effort can prevent such destruc-tion. The scene is reenacted aboutevery two years, according to Lt.Rick Barrett, of the Millis Fire De-partment, for the benefit of Millishigh school students, and it’s gener-ally done during prom season.

“It shows the kids the reality ofdrinking and driving,” says Barrett.“On TV, it’s glorified. Here, usingstudents the kids know, it showsthem one of their classmates couldreallydieorget injured. It reallyputsa name to a face.”

Millis UsedAuto Parts donated acrashed-up vehicle for use in thepresentation. Breanna Bayliss, 18,SADDpresident and senior, playedthe role of the intoxicated driver.SaysBayliss, “We’re trying tomakeit as real as possible.WhenwewentlastweekwithLt.Barrett, therewasa real drunk driving accident.We’rehoping to prevent drunk driving ac-cidents.”

Sgt. Linda Meyers narrated everystepof the re-enactment, so that stu-dents watching would understandthe implications of such an incident.“Ifwe saveone life, this isworth it,”Meyers says.

Meyers describes the injuries thatMikeAhl, age 17, SADD secretaryand a junior, andAllyssaWong, 17,SADDVPand senior, receive in thecrash.Wong is so severely injured, aLife Flight helicopter must arrive atthe scene to speed her to care. LifeFlight, from University of Massa-chusettsMedicalCenter inWorces-ter, also aided in the presentation.According to Lt. Howley, about sixvehicle accidents a year requireLifeFlight, which comes to Millis fromWorcester or Boston. The helicop-ter takes about 12 minutes to trans-port a patientwith traumatic injuriesto a hospital.

Students alsowatched somberly asCaroline Collins, 17, SADD secre-

tary and junior, who played the fa-tality in mock crash, was placed ona gurney, covered and loaded into ahearse.OfficerMeyers explained tostudents that funeral homes gener-ally send such vehicles right to thescene of an accident when it hasclaimed the life of an occupant.TheRoberts-Mitchell Funeral Homevolunteered the use of their vehiclefor themock demonstration.

Juniors and seniors listenedas theywatched themock arrest of Bayliss.OfficerMeyers explained to the stu-dents that, in a real situation, thedriver arrested for OUI faces, atminimum, a loss of her license for10 years. If a real-life accidentcaused by a drunken driver causesfatalities, the driver would facecountsofvehicularhomicideaswell.

Does the event have an impact?

“I think it definitely teaches a les-son,” says SarahAyotte, 16, a soph-

omore at Millis High School, whohas seen a familymember impactedby adrunkdriving accident she did-n’t cause. “Looking at the car isscary, because it’s completely to-taled, and all the injuries peoplehave.”

Millis policeOfficer JohnShearns

estimates that he sees teens drivingdrunkabout once amonth, althoughhenotes that adults drivingdrunk faroutnumberminors.Themock crashmayhave completed itsmission thisyear. Millis’s senior prom was heldatRafael’s restaurant inWalpole, onMay 7 this year, without incident.

BY J.D. O’GARAMany consumers know that eat-ing foods that are grown with fewerpesticides is probably a better wayto stay healthy. In fact, a recentstudy of 1,139 aged 8 to 15 yearsold, published in the journal Pedi-atrics, found the incidence ofADHD rising among those childrenwho had consumed higher levels ofcommonly used organophosphatepesticides. One way to reduce theamount of pesticides in your pro-duce is to buy locally grown. In theMillis and Medway areas, here area few options:At the Medway CommunityFarm, at 50 Winthrop Street, resi-dents can stop by the farmstandevery Sunday, from 10a.m.-2p.m.,from the end of June to October. Afew residents are even renting a10’x10’ foot plot for $250 for theseason, and a few are still available.The Medway Farmer's Marketwill take place at Choate Park, offRoute 109 in Medway on Mon-days, July 5th through October 25th3-7 p.m. For more information, call(508) 533-3275 visit http://focpmedway.wordpress.com/ or [email protected].

The Millis SupportiveDay Program

BY CHRISTOPHER CHARRON

Question: I have a few friendswho attend yoga classes regularly,and they’ve been trying to get meto join them. Do you recommendyoga as an alternative to traditionalstrength training and cardiovascu-

lar exercise?

Answer: Absolutely! I alwaysrecommend incorporating severaldifferent types of training in yourregimen, and yoga is no exception.It provides a fantastic workout andoffers several health benefits, in-

cluding improved flexibility, in-creased strength and muscle tone,better breathing, enhanced bodyawareness, and stress reduction.What more could you ask for,right? Some people equate yogawith passive stretching, but it’s so

much more than that—it’s actuallyquite challenging. After giving it atry, most folks are amazed that youcan get such a good workout usingjust your body weight. There areseveral different types of yoga, sohopefully your friends are going to

a class that you’ll enjoy as well.And it’s really important to find aqualified instructor, too. Hecticschedules seem to rule the day, soyoga’s more calming aspects are awelcomed addition, not to mentionthe true fitness benefits. Enjoy!

Question: Everywhere I turn, Isee more and more low-calorieproducts made with artificialsweeteners. What’s the scoop—safe or not safe?

Answer: This is actually a verycontroversial question, but one thatis also very important. You’reright—there are a lot more prod-ucts on the market that are manu-factured with artificial sweeteners.The medical establishment hasdone a pretty good job of scaringus away from sugar in all its forms.Some agree with this, but otherswould rather use sugars instead ofthese artificial sweeteners. The re-search says that, yes, artificialsweeteners, on the whole, are safefor most people. That said, arethere folks that have adverse reac-tions to some of these sweeteners?Sure. If you’re prone to some ofthese adverse reactions, shouldyou avoid the offending ingredi-ents? Definitely. But again, ad-verse reactions are the exception,not the rule. Artificial sweetenershave been around for years, butyou’ve probably noticed that com-panies are moving toward new agesweeteners, like sucralose and ste-via. Sucralose is made from sugar,and was developed about 25 yearsago, though it was approved foruse in the United States in 1998.Stevia is actually a plant, and isconsidered a “natural” sweetener.It was approved for consumptionhere in the US at the end of 2008.There are still plenty of productsthat use the more traditional sweet-eners, including aspartame, sac-charin, acelsulfame potassium, andothers. Bottom line—you have achoice. You can choose to eatproducts with artificial sweetenersor you can avoid them altogether.Do your homework, and makesure the information you findcomes from a reputable source.My recommendation would be tostick with sucralose or stevia, butI’ll let you make the final decision.

Question:A friend of mine is inthe midst of a two-week breakfrom all forms of exercise. Arethere any benefits to doing this?

Answer: It’s funny you ask, be-cause I actually take two one-weekbreaks throughout the year myself.You have to remember that, al-though we don’t typically think ofit this way, exercise is a form ofstress. And if you’re following a

comprehensive training program,you’re probably working out four,five, or even six days a week, in ad-dition to all of your other daily andweekly activities. If this is the case,a one or two-week layoff can bejust what your body needs. It willlet you recharge and likely increaseyour motivation and desire to ex-ercise. The other potential benefitis the fact that people come back tothe gym and find that they arestronger than when they left. Don’tforget, you’re growing and gettingstronger during periods of rest, sothis really isn’t all that shocking. Ifyou’ve been training consistentlyfor a long time, give it a try. It cer-tainly can’t hurt!

Senioritis has long since set inamong potential graduates of Mil-lis and Medway. Localtownpagestook a look at some of the localhigh school statistics.

Eighty-seven students will grad-uate from Millis High School inJune, according to Principal RobertMullaney. Standing out amongthose graduates are ValedictorianJacqueline Selter and SalutatorianBridget Gioia. Mullaney estimatesthat 90% of students will be mov-ing on to post-secondary schools,with two students entering the mil-itary. He notes that 22 students atMillis High School were eligibilefor the John Abigal Adams schol-arships this year, a notable schol-arship given to those who scorewell on the MCAS exam. Mul-laney notes that scholarships play ahuge role for students.

“I think the financial aid is a hugepiece this year, “ says Mullaney.

Although final exam testing isstill taking place at Medway HighSchool, the guidance office esti-

mates that 212 students will grad-uate in June. Last year, accordingto the guidance office, 85% of stu-dents went to a four-year college,six percent attended a two-yearcollege and 1% entered the mili-tary. This year’s figures appear tobe following the same pattern aslast year’s, says Medway’s guid-ance office, who say it’s too earlyto tell who will be Valedictorianand Salutatorian.

Tri-County Regional VocationalTechnical High School is also theschool to 15 students from Millisand 17 students who call Medwayhome. Guidance officer RandySloane notes that about two-thirdsof the 210 or so graduates this yearwill move on to school beyondhigh school, and that, despite itsstatus as a technical school, Tri-County has aligned its academicsto meet the demand for further ed-ucation. Two Millis students, Eliz-abeth Braely and MichaelFitzpatrick, were awarded honorsthis year. In addition, Medway isthe home of this year’s senior classpresident of Tri-County, Christo-pher Scott.

Seniors Gear Up toGraduate

Tri-County Seniors Elizabeth Braeley, of Millis, Christopher Scott, ofMedway, and Michael Fitzpatrick, of Millis look forward to graduation.Braeley and Fitzpatrick will graduate with honors, and Scott is classpresident.

Bullying prevention is and hasalways been a high priority issuein the Millis School District.Clearly, student safety and wellbeing will always be first andforemost in our three schools.

The Clyde Brown uses the pro-gram Open Circle, which is acomprehensive, grade differenti-ated social and emotional learn-ing program for grades k-5. OpenCircle fosters the development ofrelationships that support safe,caring and respectful learningcommunities. Students learn toexpress feelings and solve prob-lems and also learn what to do iftheir efforts do not improve thesituation.

Additionally, Michael Jackmanfrom the Norfolk County DA’sOffice visited students in Grades3 and 4 on Thursday, January 7,to present their anti-bullying pro-gram. He spent about one hourwith each grade describing bully-ing and showing a short clip from

a Harry Potter movie to illustratea bullying situation. He alsofielded questions from studentsabout the topic. I also presentedto third and fourth grade studentsthis year.

At the middle school, eachgrade had a very powerful bully-ing assembly that highlightedevery aspect of bullying, from thedefinition of bullying, to where ithappens, who are the victims,and how to prevent it. Our middleschool also employs the nation-ally recognized anti-bullying pro-gram called “Leadership.” Agreat deal of research supportsthe benefits of empowering stu-dents to create a positive schoolculture. These students aretrained in specific leadershipskills that lead to a safe schoolclimate. The DARE program ingrade five covers this topic asdoes our adjustment counselorMs Gabrielle Bedard in gradesix.

At the high school this year, Mr.Mullaney, principal of MillisHigh School, used the resultsfrom the Metro-West Health Sur-vey to identify areas of concern.In Health classes this year fresh-men were exposed to a unit onbullying and bullying prevention.In TV Production and Web 2.0classes, students collaborated oncreating public service an-nouncements promoting pro-ac-tive prevention of cyber bullyingamong students. The high schoolis hosting the Assistant DistrictAttorney to discuss the new anti-bullying legislation.

On March 22, the Millis Ad-ministration Team hosted an anti-bullying night for parents. Thisnight addressed the district’s re-sponse to bullying and includeda question and answer session forparents. This night was well at-tended and highlighted the dis-trict’s commitment to keepingour students safe.

2010 is Your year to buy a home! Not sure where to start?

BYMARIAN PIERRE-LOUISDo you have a plaque on the frontof your house that identifies theoriginal owner? Or perhaps a localhistory book has revealed the nameof that person? If so, there’s a funand easy way to start getting toknow the original occupants ofyour house – take a stroll. If your house was built before1900, most likely the originalowner and his family are buried inone of the local cemeteries. Re-serve a sunny afternoon and bring adigital camera. You don’t need to know exactlywhere to find the family. Thatwould spoil the fun of discoveringthem on your own. The owner ofyour house probably died withinforty years of the house being built.Look for graves that fall within thatforty year time span and youshould be able to find them.In Millis, the oldest and only bur-ial ground is Prospect Hill Ceme-tery on Auburn Road. The earliestexisting grave dates back to 1724.If you live in the Grist Mill Houseon Myrtle Street or the Dr. AbijahRichardson House on OrchardStreet, then you will enjoy huntingfor the graves of Dr. AbijahRichardson and his family. Abijah Richardson was born inthe Grist Mill house in 1752, thechild of Asa Richardson and Abi-gail Barber. In the 1770s, Abijah,

now a doctor, built his own housewhich still stands on OrchardStreet. In the center of the old sec-tion of Prospect Hill Cemetery youwill see two large, unusual monu-ments both erected to the Richard-son family. Though he died in1822, Abijah’s monument waserected in 1797. On the westernside of the monuments are individ-ual graves of many Richardsonfamily members, including broth-ers and sisters of Abijah. The owners of the Joseph Barberhouse on Wards Lane in Medwaywill find the original owners oftheir home in Medway’s oldestburial ground, Evergreen Ceme-tery. Located on Cottage Street inMedway, the oldest graves arefound on the hill at the back. Joseph Barber was born in 1731and died in 1812. His grave, aswell as that of his wife, father,mother and son are also found inthe cemetery. Interestingly enough,Joseph Barber is not only buried inthe cemetery but he was also thestone carver for over sixty grave-stones in Evergreen Cemetery andover twenty gravestones inProspect Hill Cemetery.Take a stroll and become ac-quainted with the original ownersof your house!Learn more about the Richard-

sons and Barbers at www.Field-stoneHistoricResearch.com

The culmination of Saturday’sevent will be a fireworks displayby Atlas Pyrotechnics, coordinatedby the Millis Firefighters, whichgreatly thanks Roche Bros. Super-market for its support as a majorsponsor.

“Without Roche Bros., we can’tdo it,” says Lt. Rick Barrett, whois actively seeking donations. “Wehaven’t had (fireworks) in a coupleof years,” says Barrett. “It was abig undertaking the couple ofyears we did.”

Barrett notes that this year’s fire-works will actually take place atthe town park, necessitating alarger number of safety personnel.The fireworks display was movedfrom Oak Grove in order to protectan aquifer there. Town officialswere concerned that chemicalsfrom the fireworks would findtheir way into the water supply.

The carnival needs volunteers tosell tickets at the ticket booth. Inaddition, vendors and non-profitgroups are invited to set up a table
