MFD blood drive 9/21 at Legion

Posted on September 9, 2015 | Comments Off on MFD blood drive 9/21 at Legion

My name is Bill DeKing, I have been a Firefighter for the Town of Medfield for the last 10 years. Shortly after joining the fire department my wife and I were expecting our first child, during the delivery my wife had some complications and she needed 29 units of blood to survive. Without The American Red Cross and with out the blood donors our lives would be totally different today.

Every year in September I host blood drive with help from members of the Medfield Fire Department as a way to help give back to them and to help save the life of others, every donation can save up to three people.

This years drive will be held on Monday September 21st from 2pm – 7pm at the American Legion in Medfield.

If you can not make it please pass the date and time on to a friend or family member that may be able to make it. Please view our story here The DeKing Family | Real Life Stories | American Red Cross

For an appointment please call 1-800 RED CROSS of visit redcrossblood.org

School impact of The Parc & marginal capacities

Posted on September 4, 2015 | Comments Off on School impact of The Parc & marginal capacities

The Superintendent of Schools, Jeff Marsden, attended the Medfield State Hospital Master Planning Committee  meeting on Wednesday this week, and one interesting tidbit I picked up was that he is getting reports on the number of school children at The Parc. The school cost impact of that complex will be interesting to see.

Jeff reported that to date there are seven school kids at The Parc out of the thirty-one occupied units, and that three or four of those had moved from within Medfield.

From memory, the developer’s of The Parc estimate that it would add about 41 – 47 school children to our enrollment.

Tidbit #2 was Jeff saying that the schools all have marginal capacity to add more students, with the possible exception of Memorial because of our adding full day kindergarten there.  The enrollment is down from 2,859 in 2003 to 2,637 this year, and is projected to continue dropping to 2,197 by 2025 –  based on the live births factor alone (i.e. – without factoring in construction of any new housing developments).  The kindergarten class this year is 147, versus the MHS classes being around 200 each.

After a day-long manhunt for a suspect who had reportedly fired shots at a Millis police cruiser, causing it to crash and catch fire, police said Thursday they have found the person responsible: the officer who reported the shooting.

The officer, who police have not yet named, has been fired and is expected to be charged, Millis Police Sgt. William Dwyer said.

“I still am very upset and don’t know how to feel right now,” Dwyer said at a Thursday press conference.
