Trash District Option Could Prevent a Marion ‘Mexit’

on

            The Carver Marion Wareham Regional Refuse Disposal District will continue on in some form, board members made clear at the most recent meeting on November 20. The question members are facing now is, exactly what will the district look like?

            “Stop calling it a dissolution,” said board member and Marion Selectman Norm Hills. “There will still be something here come 2021 – whatever it is, but the district won’t be entirely gone.”

            In fact, Carver, Marion, and Wareham will remain tied together for at least a little while, according to the district’s attorney Thomas Crotty.

            Crotty explained that, according to the current agreement, each town would remain responsible for ongoing liabilities, even if one or more of the towns should withdraw from the district.

            The district is slated to take over two transfer stations – Benson Brook in Marion and the Route 28 transfer station in Rochester – beginning on January 1 of 2021, when SEMASS/Covanta financially exits the sites.

            After reviewing different paths forward at the board members’ request, Crotty recommended amending the current agreement and creating a ‘skeletal’ district as the simplest and quickest path forward.

            A skeletal district, simply put, means that the district would cease to manage either the Benson Brook or the Rochester transfer station. Instead, it would be reduced to acting as an executive secretary and treasurer: collecting bills, keeping the books, and assessing costs back to each town on a regular basis.

            According to the language of the agreement, approved in the 1970s, amendments can be added if voters at each town’s Town Meeting approve them. The amendments, Crotty suggested, could allow for several possibilities. Among them are allowing certain towns to take over the management of individual transfer stations, providing a formula for cost allocations to each town, and drafting specific language for a town seeking withdrawal from the district. 

            That last amendment suggestion caught the ears of Marion representatives, as it would provide a clear path forward for withdrawal, as well as define Marion’s responsibilities concerning ongoing liabilities.

            Town Meeting voters of Marion recently voted in favor of a ‘Mexit’ from the CMWRRDD, and the Town of Marion recently filed a formal notice of withdrawal from the district with its objection to a decision to close the Benson Brook station in 2021.

            “If a skeletal district is what we decide to do, I don’t think Marion will pursue withdrawal,” said Marion Town Administrator Jay McGrail. He noted a possible amendment to the current agreement, allocating sole responsibility for the management of Benson Brook to the Town of Marion.

            “If there is an agreement to keep Benson Brook open, we need to know as soon as possible to inform our decisions,” added Marion Selectman John Waterman, who attended the meeting as a non-CMWRRDD board member.

            As the amendments would only need to be ratified by a town vote, Crotty said this path would also be the quickest. “If we move now, we could have an amendment on the agenda for spring town meetings. Any other agreement we try to make for these ongoing liabilities is going to require special legislation, and that will take years.”

            Carver and Wareham representatives agreed to take the options to their respective selectmen, but the lack of any visible progress frustrated some board members.

            “A year ago, we were talking about what we needed to do; we’re still talking about it,” said Hills. “2021 is approaching quickly and we need a path to go forward. All we’re doing here is rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic.”

            The next meeting of the Carver, Marion, Wareham Regional Refuse Disposal District has not yet been scheduled.

A colorful heartwarming comedy that features non-stop action, memorable tunes, and child-like wisdom, “Elf the Musical” tells the story of Buddy, an orphaned boy who crawls into Santa’s sleigh-bag and is accidentally transported back to the North Pole. When the cheerful elf community sees the toddler emerge, they name him Buddy, after the brand name on his diaper. A kindly bachelor-elf adopts the new arrival.

            Although he is human, Buddy is raised by elves. He is unaware that he is actually a human, but eventually his enormous size and lack of toy-making talent leads him to ask questions. When his kind elf-dad tells the story of the adoption, Buddy’s journey to New York City begins. In search of his birth father, Buddy encounters many challenges; but his kind spirit is undaunted.

            The true meaning of the season is revealed through the love, family, and friendship Buddy earns as he navigates a new world he has adopted – even if just for a time.

One Woman’s Journey to Health and Happiness

on

            Mattapoisett resident and wellness advocate Dr. Mia Holland has spent her entire life driven to succeed at anything she put her mind to accomplishing. At an early age she was questioning her parents, asking the proverbial “why” when confronted with something she didn’t quite understand, and responding “no” when achievement was denied.

            “I was never a follower,” said Holland. “I was very bossy. I was independent and controlling,” she confessed during a talk she gave at the Mattapoisett Library on November 24 titled “The Journey to Health, Happiness, & Well-Being: Thank you, Cancer.”

            Holland admitted that the title might seem odd, but she explained – in sometimes explicit detail – how she found her way through the initial shock of a cancer diagnosis, to secure her health, and even found love. “Good can come from bad,” she said.

            Up until two days before Christmas in 2016, Holland’s life had been on a very steep upward trajectory. She admitted to being a Type-A personality, in constant competition with herself to achieve success. By the time she was 30, she had earned a doctoral degree in psychology, was a certified personal trainer, and a realtor.

            “I was teaching in a university setting,” said Holland. “I thought… ‘this is it.’”

            Holland had always taken exceptionally good care of her body, eating a diet low in saturated fats with a heavy emphasis on plants and grains. She worked out daily and, admittedly, became a bit “self-righteous” about healthy lifestyles. “But the universe was about to tell me everything wasn’t alright.”

            Going about her daily activities, she was surprised to find a small lump deep within the side of her breast. It surprised her more than alarmed her; after all, she was healthy, had just had her annual check-up – everything was just as it should be. She ignored the first warning shot of what would become her greatest challenge.

            When she noticed the lump was still there two months later, she went back to her doctor. Here, Holland cautioned women to be vigilant.

            “Tumors can be very hidden,” she said.

            In the doctor’s office, the tumor could not be found. Eventually, and with much insistence, she received immediate diagnostic imaging; an ultrasound found the tumor.

            In telling this part of her journey, Holland urged all to advocate on their own behalf. She said appointments for specialized testing are available – waiting days or even weeks isn’t absolutely necessary, but pushing the limits is often required.

            “I told them I wasn’t leaving without an immediate appointment,” said Holland.

            There was that ultrasound, the mandatory needle biopsy, and then the wait.

            “I wasn’t prepared for how things were turning out,” Holland said.

            Holland and her partner were in shock during those weeks as they attempted to process what was happening and what next steps to take. She said she tried to distance herself from what was happening, saying, “My body had failed me.”

            The follow-up appointment with the oncologist was Holland’s next challenge.

            “The doctor told me I wasn’t going to die,” said Holland, but the standard protocol wasn’t one that Holland was willing to accept. “She told me that after surgery there would be 30 rounds of radiation and then five years of Tamoxifen,” and possible side effects that included ovarian cancer, cervical cancer, and stroke. For her, that was unacceptable. Holland agreed to surgery but insisted on following a holistic approach thereafter.

            Holland had already been using holistic methods in her health regimen. Her announcement that she was saying “No” to chemotherapy and radiation didn’t sit well with the Boston medical team.

            “They tried to scare me into it,” she said. “[I was told] ‘You will die if you don’t do what we say.’” Holding steadfast in her opinion that her pathway would not be their protocol, she had the surgery and returned home.

            Today, Holland is cancer-free. For her, a holistic approach to health such as massage, chiropractic treatments, and detoxing from head to toe worked for her, although she knows not everyone would select these methods. She reflected on how a cancer diagnosis can feel as though one is separated from everyone around them.

            “It’s the loneliest place you’ll ever be,” she said. “…The cancer bubble.”

            Even with support, she said, she still felt alone. 

            Throughout her cancer journey, Holland gave credit to the loving support of her “sweetheart” with whom she traveled from the dark side of the initial diagnosis to the relief of receiving blood test results that announced “no evidence of disease.” His gentle presence eventually eroded her mantra of “never getting married,” but, “One thing had been missing: a loving relationship,” said Holland.

            “The positives have outweighed the negatives,” Holland concluded of her journey thus far. Today, with the belief that future blood tests will continue to confirm that her health is intact, she is sharing her experiences, but she said, “I’m not disparaging the medical community.” However, with rising cancer rates, she is concerned there isn’t enough being done to prevent cancer.

            Ultimately, Holland’s message is one of hope, regardless of the medical decisions someone may make.

            “There are multiple medical choices and they are all respected, but this was my choice.“ In the end Holland discovered that “there is good in every bad,” and to never say ‘never’ when love comes knocking.

ZBA Votes ‘No’ to Bowman Road Solar Project

on

            Residents of the Bowman Road neighborhood were few in number, but strong in their objections to a proposed solar farm planned on property owned by NextGrid, LLC, a California-based alternative energy developer, for acreage located off Bowman Road in undeveloped pine forest.

            Coming before the Mattapoisett Zoning Board of Appeals on November 21 were Daniel Serber of NextGrid, LLC and engineer Richard Tabacyznski seeking a Special Permit and zoning use change for the purpose of constructing a 6-acre solar array.

            The zoning district is currently designated as rural residential. 

            After a detailed presentation by Serber and Tabacyznski that included plans for protecting Bowman Road – an unpaved roadway – from heavy trucks, repairing the road as required, and using only two-axel vehicles in the construction zone, it was time to discuss stormwater drainage issues.

            Voicing concerns that the site in question was in harm’s way of a 100-year level hurricane was Mattapoisett Land Trust President. Michael Huguenin. He asked for financial assurance to fund repairs should the project negatively impact a brook running through the property.

            “We want to put financial assurance in place so the town would have rapid access to money,” said Huguenin, in the event the solar panels were damaged.

            Serber assured all that NextGrid was willing to supply a surety or bond. Huguenin asserted that other solar farms in the community were not “in the middle of conservation lands.”

            “Some [Mattapoisett Land Trust] members are for the project, and some are against,” said Huguenin, adding that the board of directors had discussed the possibility of building an observation deck on land trust property so that people could see the solar array, and as an educational tool for school-age children, calling it, “making lemonade out of lemons.”

            Fellow land trust member Paul Osenkowski, however, was much more vehement in his assertion that the project did not belong on archeological and historical lands, saying, “I beseech you to stop this mania!”

            ZBA Chairman Sue Akin said that housing could go on the property in question, and that such a project would require cutting down trees.

            Osenkowski said he would rather have housing at that location than a solar farm.

            Akin returned several times to the point that other solar farms in town had not created problems but, in fact, added to the town’s revenue.

            “That doesn’t make it right,” Osenkowski said, indicating that profits generated from this project was money headed for California.

            Debbie Freedman, of 3 Holly Woods Road, said that solar arrays were a form of “manufacturing” by turning sunlight into electricity. She thought that if this project were permitted, other forms of industry might be allowed in rural residential areas in the future.

            On the topic of housing, Building Commissioner Andy Bobola said, “One thing that can happen is 40B (housing).” He said that if that came to pass, the town would not have any local control over the development.

            Akin said that more housing meant more services that would impact the town’s budget.

            Becky Zora talked about her home located next to the proposed site, the care she had taken to preserve it, and her concern that the solar farm, which would be visible from her home, would devalue her property. She also spoke of the wildlife in the forest. She said that while she believes in the reality of climate change, “Why would this town ever consider allowing a residential use to become commercial?” She continued, “Housing doesn’t scare me; you are opening this up to business.”

            Brad Hathaway, who has lived in the area since 1948, said, “When you bring industry into a rural zone, that is a crime.” He also expressed concern over stormwater infiltrating the creek.

            When it came time for the ZBA to cast its votes, it was clear that several members were not in favor of the petition.

            “It doesn’t seem appropriate for the area,” ZBA member Tony Tranfaglia said.

            Akin steadfastly held that this project wasn’t “any different” than the array located on Crystal Springs Road.

            “I’m on the Finance Committee… I’m open to industry,” said ZBA member Colby Rottler. “I’m concerned about schools… but I don’t feel this is appropriate.”

            ZBA member Norman Lyonnais said that the developer should have talked to the neighbors before buying the property.

            Pacheco, Rottler, Tranfaglia, and Lyonnais voted to deny the Special Permit; Akin voted in favor.

            The applicant has 20 days to appeal the decision in Superior Court.

            Earlier in the evening, the ZBA granted a Special Permit to Keith McCown, 31 Pearl Street, for the construction of a 6-foot by 14-foot screened-in porch.

            The next meeting of the Mattapoisett Zoning Board of Appeals will be held on January 16 at 6:00 pm if there are hearings scheduled. There is no meeting in December.
