The Week That Was
The week that ended 2/28/09 was a busy one in Milton, MA.
The winter sports season is winding down. The playoffs are underway and three Milton varsity teams were in the hunt: Both the girls and boys hockey teams qualified but, alas, both were beaten in quarterfinal play. The girls lost 3-1 to Notre Dame and the Weymouth Wildcats handed the boys a 3-1 defeat. However, the boys basketball team beat a Nauset team that did not want to quit and then rolled over the Dorchester Bears 102-75. Whoa! They play the semi-final game this Thursday against Franklin.
There were two meetings of note. The first was a Special Town Meeting that saw two votes. The first was an approval to have a reduction in appropriations to various town departments. The second allowed the School Commitee to enter into contracts for energy that exceed three years. You can read a more complete post on this meeting here.
The second meeting was a pubic hearing by the Planning Board on the proposed redevelopment of Temple Shalom’s 4 acre property on Blue Hill Avenue. In an effort to address immediate financial issues and remain in Milton, the Temple has engaged Coffman Realty who proposes construction of pharmacy with drive through and another building for small businesses. Abutting neighbors are not happy with this proposal and many spoke in opposition. You can read a more complete post of this meeting here. The presentation given to Special Town Meeting by the Warrant Committee is also available (please see link under !READ THIS! section in right column of this page.)

Randy Omoregie walked into his football coach’s office at Milton High School swallowed in a hooded sweatshirt, wearing a smile. Before he could sit down, he was surrounded by assistant coaches reaching out to tap fists with the senior and ask him about his health. On this day, Omoregie is feeling OK, even though he is less than an hour removed from a chemotherapy treatment. (read full story)
Braintree prevails on nifty comeback
from Patriot Ledger
The Braintree High School football team rallied from a 13-0 deficit for a 21-13 victory over Milton Thursday.
“It was a team victory,” Braintree coach Dave Flynn said. “We got good play from everyone. We didn’t sulk when we got down right away and eventually came back. The field was tough, Milton was tough and I’m proud of the whole bunch. Maybe we can build on this for the future.” (read full story)
