Osler ”Pete” Peterson
Medfield Select Board member
I started this blog to share the interesting and useful information that I saw while doing my job as a Medfield select board member. I thought that my fellow Medfield residents would also find that information interesting and useful as well. This blog is my effort to assist in creating a system to push the information out from the Town House to residents. Let me know if you have any thoughts on how it can be done better.
For information on my other job as an attorney (personal injury, civil litigation, estate planning and administration, and real estate), please feel free to contact me at 617-969-1500 or Osler.Peterson@OslerPeterson.com.

Green Street status
A Green Street resident asked me this morning about the projected timing of the work and we got this response from Mike –
Gentlemen: I am wondering if you can give me an update on the schedule for the work on Green Street. Over the past several week, some work was done to prepare for sidewalks to be placed between Brook Street and Hinkley Pond – but in the past week, no work at all has taken place.
Any information you can provide would be welcome!
Ken is on vacation today and Monday, so I’ll tell you what I know about Green Street. I spoke to Ken yesterday and he too is concerned with getting Green Street done as quickly as possible. It is his number one highway priority. I do know they were having troubles getting some of the castings delivered, but they should be here by now. The water lines have already been replaced so most of the work would will be at the surface level. Once they get going, it should move quickly. I’m copying Ken and Bobby Kennedy on this so they can update you when they have a chance, as they know a lot more about this than I do. Have a good weekend. Mike Sullivan

Office hours next Friday
For those who like to plan ahead, mark your calendars for my selectman office hours at The Center from 9-10AM next Friday, August 7. No appointment is necessary.
I hold regular monthly office hours at The Center on the first Friday of every month from 9:00 to 10:00 AM (my litigation schedule permitting). Residents are welcome to stop by to talk in person about any town matters.
Residents can also have coffee and see the Council on Aging in action (a vibrant organization with lots going on). I can be reached at 508-359-9190 or via my blog about Medfield matters https://medfield02052.wordpress.com/, where any schedule changes will be posted.

Appointments upcoming
The selectmen annually appoint to many town committees. The following list was circulated today, so i anticipate that we will be making the annual appointments soon. If anyone has an interest in servicing on a town board or committee, they just need to step forward to let people know, and at the selectmen level we seek to make it possible.

MA schools ranked at top nationally
2015’s States with the Best and Worst School Systems
Unless one is destined for the ranks of wildly successful college dropouts like Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg, education remains the traditional route to professional and financial success for many Americans. Consider the median incomes for workers aged 25 and older in 2014. Those with a bachelor’s degree earned 65 percent more than those with only a high school diploma, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The data reveal that income potential grows — and chances of unemployment shrink — as one’s educational attainment improves.
And with school resuming session, many parents will be seeking the best school districts to secure their children’s academic success. When comparing their options, however, parents should recognize that the amount of available public funding is by no means a determinant of a school system’s quality, as our findings demonstrate, though money is certainly helpful.

Medfield brewery
Mike Sullivan gets huge amounts of information about what is going on in town, and in speaking with Mike recently I learned that a brewery is leasing 9,000 square feet of space in the old Potpourri Building, the building where Sluggers Academy is located. It sounded like the brewers must be coming from another location, as they already have an established list of beers they make.
With the distillery around the corner on West Street, that area has becoming our spirits zone.
