Updates from Kristine Trierweiler, Town Administrator.
TEXT THIS MORNING:
This was reportedly this morning near South Street and Curve Street.

EMAIL THIS AFTERNOON:
Chief Carrico can provide a more detailed report when he is no longer actively responding to calls, however, I wanted to give you a brief update.
We still have live power lines burning in the roadway on Maplewood. Chief Carrico has been in touch repeatedly with Eversource and MEMA to report our lack of response from Eversource today. Chief Carrico and Chief Guerette will coordinate details to remain with the live wires on Maplewood until Eversource arrives on the scene.
Public Safety continues to receive calls about downed trees, downed wires, and electrical services torn from houses. Chief Carrico has reported that we are now receiving calls for assistance with flooding in basements.
The Building Inspector has been working with residents who have experienced tree damage to their homes. We have at least 6 homes that were hit directly, and one family has had to be relocated due to the damage.
I reported to you earlier the tree damage to the police vehicle and we also experienced a fire engine hitting a telephone pole on Green Street. No injuries to personnel.

Personally, I was blocked from using RTE 109 or 115 to get back from Millis late morning. Eventually got through on 109 and saw a 2-3′ diameter pine on the roadway.

WCVB’s long running and truly engaging news magazine, Chronicle, will reportedly report of both the Bellforge Arts Center and Park Street Books on its 12/7 show (unless breaking news pre-empts that schedule). Chronicle is captioning the show as CLUB MED, which will reportedly include pieces on the two places in Medfield, plus others from Medway, and Medford. Ben Simoneau posted on FB that Medfield get half the air time in the show.

I hold regular monthly office hours at The Center on the first Friday of every month from 9:00 to 10:00 AM. 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).
Posted onNovember 23, 2023|Comments Off on Norfolk Hunt Club’s Thanksgiving Hunt
Norfolk Hunt Club’s Thanksgiving Hunt outbound this morning at the top of the sledding hill by the former Medfield State Hospital site. There were maybe a dozen hounds and 50 riders. Decades ago while jogging on Thanksgiving I bumped into a lone rider, Chris Hajjir, riding by herself to lay the trail of fox smell the hounds would follow in the hunt that morning. I recall being impressed how she had it all timed out to do around cooking her family’s turkey.

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.
