NorwoodLight warnsof rate hikes

The Federal Aviation Ad-ministration sent a stern warn-ing to Norwood MunicipalAirport for violating stateregulations in connectionwith fuel sales, while criticsof the current airport fuelpolicy say the town is losingout on potentially hundreds of

thousands of dollars in fuelingfees.

Attorney Matt Watsky —representing company BostonAir Charter — said his client isthe single largest fuel user at theairport, but fuels elsewhere be-cause they were not given “rea-sonable terms” for fueling byEastern Air Center, the onlycompany providing fueling ser-vices at Norwood Airport.

“By our numbers, the townis missing out on close to$120,000 a year in flowage feesby not allowing Boston AirCharter to self fuel,” Watskysaid.

“We’ve always promotedcompetition,” Airport Commis-sion Vice Chair and Town En-gineer, Mark Ryan said.

FAA warns NorwoodAirport on violations


Light Department Superin-tendent Malcolm McDonaldsaid Norwood Light would in-crease the price of service thissummer in response to risingoperational expenses and com-petition.

The Board of Selectmenmet with members of NorwoodLight Broadband to get an up-date on the department’s activi-ties over the past month and toschedule a June 17 hearing todiscuss the details of the in-crease to customers.

“It seems like we’ve in-creased rates a lot,” SelectmanTom McQuaid said.

McDonald said NorwoodLight has not raised rates sinceJuly of last year.

Broadband division man-ager, Darryl Hanson said theprice of cable for NorwoodLight customers would rise thissummer as well.

“It will be a five-percent in-crease,” he said. “On an aver-age bill that totals to about anextra $3.15 per month.”

“The document speaks for itself in terms of what we found,”Jim Peters of the FAA said. “When an airport accepts federalfunds there are conditions attached to it that outline the responsi-bilities the airport has in order to continue receiving federal fund-ing."

“Normally, if someone wants to provide a service that is al-ready being offered the sponsor must allow that to happen forcompetition purposes,” Peters said. “If they are denied, they canrequest an investigation.”

Peters said that the FAA had conducted a formal investigationinto the claims against Norwood Memorial Airport, and confirmedthat the town has until May 23rd to submit a corrective plan.

The FAA Office of Airport Safety and Standards determinedNorwood Airport has improperly denied Boston Air Charter theability to maintain fuel service ramps for their aircrafts.

The FAA report determined that Norwood must provide self-fueling access for Boston Air Charter, in addition to generatingnew and broader strategies to promote competition on the 1,100-foot stretch of land.

“If they do not submit a plan, they will be found to be innoncompliance, and will not be eligible to receive funding throughthe Airport Improvement Program [a primary source of grant rev-enue for airports],” Peters said.

The Airport Commission met last week in reaction to the FAAdetermination, completing a four-point, “master plan that ad-dresses all those items [in the FAA warning],” Ryan said.

Additionally, Ryan said the Airport Commission allowed Bos-ton Air Charter to begin self-fueling months before the FAA madetheir determination.

Watsky said that Boston Air Charter couldn’t take advantageof that permission to self-fuel.

“Nothing has changed,” Watsky said. “They don’t have fuel-ing facilities there now, so they aren’t. [Boston Air Charter has]purchased equipment and are paying to store it because they arenot able to use it. The town has until May 23 to file an appeal andthey haven’t. The FAA has laid out very clearly what needs to bedone.”

Ryan said it was Boston Air Charter is prolonging the pro-cess.

“We strongly believe that the decision we made was in thebest interest of the town,” Ryan said, “and the regional board ofthe FAA agreed with us, but the tenant decided to appeal ourdecision and take the case to the FAA in Washington.”

Ryan said the commission would send its new plan to the FAAfor approval.

Memorial Day 2008

AIRPORT LAWSUITS

Norwood Municipal Airport is not the only Massachusetts air-strip facing Federal Aviation Administration involvement in fuelissues.

In Hyannis, Rectrix Aerodome Centers is fighting for the right tosell jet fuel at Barnstable Municipal Airport.

Rectrix, in federal court, argues the United States prefers pri-vate companies to sell fuel, and that BMAC is inefficient at theservice while inappropriately diverting flowage fees to non-air-port projects.

Memorial Day has tradition-ally been one of America’s mostsolemn and patriotic days. It isa sacred day to honor all warveterans. With love and long-ing, we gather each year on thisday of remembrance to honorall of America’s patriots whohave given their last full mea-sure of devotion to their coun-try. Our fallen comrades havelaid a solemn burden in ourhands. We must make sure thatdeath never stalks the ideals forwhich American men andwomen in uniform have riskedtheir lives and shed their blood.We who honor them cherish thehope that the ideals of peace,freedom and prosperity willshine forever brighter in the lifeof our nation, and in the livesof her individual people.

Memorial Day is a celebra-tion of that hope, even thoughthere is sadness in remember-ing the dead of our nation’swars. After all, love is whatmade possible the first memo-rial services that grew intotoday’s observance.

In 1863 during the CivilWar, women in Columbus, Mis-sissippi went to decorate thegraves of their war dead at asmall country cemetery. Nearthe final resting place of theConfederate soldiers were othergraves - graves of Union sol-diers who had died on the samebloody battlefields. The womenwondered who would remem-ber the enemy soldiers buriedso far from their northernhomes. Moved by compassionand kindness, those womendecorated all the graves theyfound - those of their own Con-federate soldiers, and those of

their fallen enemies. Their actcaptured the imagination of ourcountry’s people. It became thefoundation upon which our cur-rent observance of MemorialDay is built.

Memorial Day leaves fewhearts unmoved in remember-ing the more than one millionbrave Americans who havegiven their lives, the ultimatesacrifice, in defense of freedomand democracy.

Philosopher, John StuartMill once remarked that no oneis more miserable than peoplewho have nothing they are will-ing to fight for. On the otherhand, no one is nobler thanthose who believe in somethingso deeply they’re willing to diefor it.

So we gather on MemorialDay to honor that nobility. Ifhistory has taught us anything,it is that Americans will bearany hardship, will overcomeany obstacle and will conquer

any foe in the pursuit of libertyand justice - for themselves,their children, their country-men, and other human beings,whose faces they’ll never see.In the dark hours of war andconflict, America’s veteransanswered her call, and they arethe reason that the United Statesis the mightiest, wealthiest, andmost secure nation on earth to-day.

Remembering is what Me-morial Day is for. It is a time toremember what unites us as oneAmerica. A time to recognizethat the mortar holding our so-ciety together is mixed with theblood and tears of those whofought and died in Battle.

We can never repay the debtwe owe these brave men andwomen, but we can strive tohonor their vision, which ledthem into battle and to their fi-nal sacrifice. After all, who ismore deserving of our affectionand honor than those whofought and died to preservewhat the entire world admires -the American way of life?

I think the most suitablewords are those of AbrahamLincoln to the mother of fivesons, lost on the field of battle,“I cannot refrain from tender-ing to you the thanks of theRepublic they died to save. Ipray that our heavenly Fathermay assuage the anguish ofyour bereavement, and leaveyou only the cherished memoryof the loved and lost, and thesolemn pride that must be yoursto have laid so costly a sacri-

fice upon the altar of freedom”.So this coming Memorial

Day, join us at Highland cem-etery as we honor the memory

of Norwood’s and all ofAmerica’s veterans whose re-mains consecrate the soilthroughout the world. Let uspromise that their lives andtheir sacrifice will not havebeen offered in vain, but willbe remembered by us all.

A piece of Norwood historymay be a thing of the past.

Town Meeting Membersvoted on Thursday not to fundthe Historical Commission’squest to save the Little RedSchoolhouse on Sumner Street.

Constructed beforeNorwood was incorporated, itis slated for demolition thismonth if the town can’t find thefunds, or the proper place tomove it.

The schoolhouse was origi-nally scheduled for demolitionon May 15.

Located at 2 Sumner St., ithas been privately owned sincethe late 1800s.

Historical CommissionChair, Judith Howard requestedan additional $45,000 to pay forthe one-room schoolhouse to bemoved to a new spot. Optionscould include either the currentsite of the Morse House or onthe grounds of the CoakleyMiddle School.

However, Town Meetingmembers and Norwood offi-cials were not convinced byHoward’s pleas, and did notfeel there was enough informa-tion presented to make an in-formed decision.

“I was in favor of this untilI heard the potential locations,”Town Meeting Member, andDistrict 8 representative, RickMorrison said.

Town Manager John Carrolland School Committee memberBill Plasko both said that theyhad not been asked for permis-sion to move the house to ei-ther location.

“There’s too many ques-tions on this, and they havenever come before the schoolcommittee on this,” Plasko saidin reference to thecommission’s consideration ofland at the Coakley school.

But Howard said she be-lieved saving the schoolhousewas a matter of preserving alocal landmark and keeping thetown’s historical heritage alive.

“It would be the first timethe building would be back inpublic hands in many years,”Howard said.

Howard also said she hadreceived a proposal from onemoving company that estimatedit would cost $38,500 to movethe property on a flatbed truckto its new location, wherever itmay be. She said the remainingmoney would pay for policedetails from Norwood andDedham.

“We’re confident that wecan raise the money ourselves,but we need money soon to pre-vent the house from being de-molished,” Howard said.

The property’s currentowner offered to donate thebuilding to the town, but askedthat it be moved quickly to sohe could begin work on thefour-unit apartment building hewill put in its place.

“The problem we have is thetimeframe,” Selectwoman, andDistrict 6 representative, HelenDonahue said. “The developergave us a little more time, butif we don’t get going the build-ing will be demolished. Weknow we’re in tough economictimes, but we really feel we canget it back.”

Conservation Commission

member Joe DiMaria said tim-ing was of the essence.

“There are times when youcan cross the T’s and dot the I’s,but this isn’t one of thosetimes,” DiMaria said. “If youvote for it, it will provide timeto answer all these questions,but if you vote not to [supportit], no is no and history is lost.”

Town Planning DirectorSteve Costello is positioned totake business growth inNorwood to the next level,primed for a slate of new chal-lenges as the town’s new Eco-nomic Developer.

Re-examinetransportationcosts

Steve Costello continued from page 3many jobs are coming in andhow much tax money is com-ing in as a result,” Costello said.

His time in the PlanningDepartment placed him in lineto fill the position, which hasbeen vacant since the Board ofSelectmen and the PersonnelBoard created the new title.

Costello said he will workwith state officials to imple-ment expedited permitting incertain eligible commercial dis-tricts in Norwood, a processintended to attract more com-mercial establishments to va-

cant business blocks.“The most important place

right now is the Vanderbilt Ave.area,” Costello said.” That’s ourfirst task. That is the largest ofour core business areas.”

Costello said he has identi-fied several other key businessareas in town and has devel-oped what he called “mini-plans” for each, all geared toattract new businesses.

Installing Costello is part ofa larger picture. Part of that planincludes Internet interactivitywith Norwood’s Planning

Board and Economic Develop-ment Committee.

“We’d like to be able to of-fer information to potential de-velopers and business ownersabout the town's tax rates andavailable space as well as so-cial and cultural information onthe town,” Costello said.

“It’s definitely a lot of work,but I’m up for it,” he said. “Myresponsibility is to make surethe final decision makers areproperly informed and makedecisions that will benefit thetown.”

OVERLOOKEDDISTINCTION

To the Editor:It was brought to my attention

at last Thursday’s Town Meetingthat there are clear and distinctdifferences between the NorwoodCouncil on Aging and the Friendsof the Council on Aging. This dis-tinction was overlooked in my re-cent letter to the editor (“Shake-down no Surprise,” May 15) andI wish to apologize for offendingthe COA by inferring that Mr.McCoy was a representative ofthat body.

MONEY TO BESPENT ON SENIORS

To The Editor:As many times as I have asked

to meet with the Selectmen in thelast nine months, which is 4 times,they chose not to. Now all of sud-den they want to tell the Friendswhere the $50,000 should go.

First, it’s in writing where itwas to be spent and that was on

an OPM which was what theysaid the cost would be, not the$25,000 as the selectman JerryKelliher said. Second, We justgave the Council on Aging$22,000 for a sound system thatshould have been in the originalplans as was discussed in the be-ginning, also $8,000 for Verizonfor the exercise room. We paidover $1200 for new phone serviceand $8000 for architect drawingsin 2002, If it wasn’t for theFriends saying NO a year ago tothe PBC when they wanted the$250,000 we would have lost$13,000 in interest. They receivedthe $250,000 in Oct. 2007.Wehave guaranteed to buy a new buswhen it is needed in a few years.

Nothing has been said aboutthe $40,000 the COA has on handfor many years. Nothing has beensaid about the $2 million that hadto be paid for by Police and FireStation foul up.

No one mentioned why thecost of the ledge was so high. ThePBC estimated it to be about

$25,000, it’s probably between$75,600 to 100,000. Everyoneknew about ledge all over theproperty since North Jr. High wasbuilt except the PBC. When Ithink of the Senior Center notbeing open for so many monthswith no place to go and nothingto do, did anyone try to find aplace for them? As for the peoplewho gave all the money that wasraised, I believe they are not wor-ried and know all money will bespent on Seniors. Seven years I’vebeen President of the Friends andI can tell you we all pay for everyfunction we run. We have our firstdance at the new addition on May16 and have been asked by theCouncil to vote for a donation of$100 to pay for lights, heat andjanitor; subject to change. WhatHelen Donahue said at her lastmeeting was absolute, friends.Money will be spent on seniors.

Letters to the Editor

School Committee Chair-man Dick Kief was correct topoint out Monday at TownMeeting that the cost of busingspecial needs students fromhomes in Norwood to locationswhere they can access appro-priate programs is an incontro-vertible fact of life.

The underlying require-ment: That Norwood providesthat access and facilitates is thekey issue.

The price of the transporta-tion, however, is a workable

In New England we take acertain pride in our privacy, andwe guard the customs that pre-serve that privacy. As Norwoodresidents grapple with the rami-fications of the town’s first ho-micide in nine years, the lessonwithin the back story is critical.Taken in the context of oldfashioned New England habits- that one keeps to one’s ownyard - it is understandable thatneighbors observing the alleg-edly increasing incidents ofloud parties and progressivelyunruly behavior at 131-133

component. The NorwoodSchool Committee should takea fresh look at the transporta-tion fees attached and reach outthe Massachusetts Departmentof Elementary and SecondaryEducation for advice and coun-sel regarding possible grants,exemptions, and cost-defrayingmeasures.

The symptom, which TownMeeting member Stanley Wasilpointed out, is not untreatable.

Inertia, if not treated, willguarantee no change.

Winslow Ave. did not call 911during previous incidents.However, instead of quietlyenduring, residents must com-mit to act when an individualor group steps outside the linesof community standards. Wehesitate to dial 911 for a loudparty in this day and age, per-haps - when real crime seemsever more pronounced in Mas-sachusetts cities and towns.

MSBA votesfor newhigh school

High SchoolHigh SchoolHigh SchoolHigh SchoolHigh SchoolContinued on page 10

The Massachusetts SchoolBuilding Authority Board ofDirectors has unanimouslyvoted to approve rebuildingNorwood High School.

According to School Com-mittee Member and School Fa-cilities Task Force co-chairChris Morrison, the MSBAvoted to move forward with thetask force’s recommendationsto completely rebuild theschool as opposed to renova-tion.

The MSBA’s Board of Di-rectors met Wednesday morn-ing to determine whether theywould proceed to the next stepof the process and to determinefunding options for the projectand to consider design plans.

While the MSBA has rec-ommended that Norwood HighSchool be completely rebuilt,the question of how much thestate will contribute is stilllooming.

“It’s a multi-step process,”

Morrison said. “We’ll be enter-ing the design phase over thenext two to three months, andthen we’ll have a better idea ofthe costs.”

The MSBA has been study-ing Norwood High School forthe better part of the last sixmonths, and has conducted sev-eral site visits to assess theschools current condition andthe specific areas that need im-provement.

“The Committee of 21 has

spent two years studying andevaluating, and the MSBA sistheir own due diligence, andwe’re grateful for that,”Morrison said.

According to Morrison, theMSBA has set a base reim-bursement rate of 49 percent forthe project which will be con-tingent on a number of factors,including the energy efficiencyof the new building.

“They were sort of a wildbunch over there,” NickTessitore said, who livesacross the street from thebeige house on the corner ofPhillips Street and WinslowAvenue, where Shultz lived.

Schultz’s death is the firstNorwood homicide since1999, when Walpole residentMartin Guy was found guiltyof stabbing to deathWestwood resident, Christo-pher Payne at the NorwoodInn rooming house.

Guy was also convictedand sentenced in the murderof Irene Kennedy, whom hestabbed 32 times at theWalpole Bird Park in 1998.

Bishop said Saturday’sbrutal attack would be a “cutand dry” case, and wouldmost likely be moved fromdistrict court, to Dedham Su-perior Court.

Shultz is scheduled to ap-pear next in district court onMay 30.



Norwood’s Annual TownMeeting wrapped up on Mon-day as meeting members ap-proved the school’s budget ofapproximately $32 million butquestioned the school's policieson transportation, graduationrequirements and the cost of spe-cial education.

District 6 representativeTodd Gundlach asked SchoolCommittee members how thesystem would curtail specialeducation costs.

“We’re looking at how muchit would cost to bring each pro-gram in-house and the differen-tial between sending them toother schools,” School Commit-tee Vice Chair and Budget Sub-committee member PaulSamargedlis said.

Superintendent Ed Quigleysaid Norwood already imple-ments a number of such pro-

grams.“We have about seven pro-

grams that did not exist before,”he said. “We have been takingsteps, but some of these pro-grams take years to put intoplace.”

Judith Howard, of District 3,and Peter Weiss of District 9,both expressed their concernsover the high school’s lack of aforeign language requirementfor graduation, and asked theboard if that would be addressedin future budget projections.

“Frankly, I agree that thereshould be a foreign languagerequirement for graduation,”Quigley said. “But the majorityof our students take a languageeven though they aren’t requiredtoo.”

Town Meeting members alsovoiced concerns over the cost ofspecial education transportation- more than double that of regu-lar bussing.

Of the $32 million in the

budget, 1.3 percent is spent onin-town busing, while specialeducation transportation costs 3percent.

District 7 representativeStanley Wasil said he thoughtthe School Committee shouldresearch other options to get spe-cial needs students where theyneed to be.

“We’re paying twice the costfor these kids to go out of town,”Wasil said. “There has to besomething closer we can takeadvantage of.”

School Committee Chair-man Dick Kief said that in or-der to provide special educationstudents with the services theyneed, the town must send themto wherever that particular pro-gram is located.

In other business, TownMeeting members granted Town

Manager John Carroll and theBoard of Selectmen permissionto sign a five-year $1.9 millioncontract with Waste Manage-ment Services for recycling im-provements and mechanizedtrash pickup this fall.

Under the new contract, resi-dents will be given two largetrash barrels, called “toters” thatcan be wheeled to the curbweekly for trash pickup. Amechanized arm on the side ofthe trash truck will pick up theentire barrel and dispose of therubbish.

“It’s the wave of the future,”Carroll said. “Every town willbe doing this soon.”

Board of Selectmen Chair-man Mike Lyons said the newcontract would help Norwoodincrease its “dismal” recyclingrate and reduce the cost of trash

removal.Recycling will still be col-

lected every other week, will notneed to be sorted, and can beplaced in a 96-gallon toter thatwill also be provided by WM.

“The bottom line is it’scheaper to recycle, and this pro-gram will increase our rate to atleast 40 percent,” he said.

The town currently has a 14-percent recycling rate.

Town Meeting memberswere concerned that the town'selderly residents would not beable to drag the large barrels outon their own.

Assistant Town ManagerBernie Cooper wheeled a barrelinto the Coakley auditorium toshow people exactly how big itwas, how much it could carry,and how it could be moved.

The founder and presidentof the Norwood Women inBusiness group is reaching forsomething beyond success in aself-made business.

Margaret Lambert wants tohelp her colleagues succeedand she wants her clients to feelgood about Norwood business.

It’s common knowledge thatrunning a business takes a lotof energy.

In thinking of ways to getthe word out about her ownoperation, Lambert wonderedhow women network. Shewanted to find different orga-nizations that offered the sup-port and advice of like-mindedbusiness women.

“I started by reaching out toother women I knew, and thenstarted scouring the phonebooks,” she said.

Soon, she realized, she’dhave to build the resource shesought. Lambert invited 60 lo-cal businesswomen to her homefor what she called a “Punchand Munch.”

“About 20 people came, andsix of us decided we’d like tocontinue getting together,” shesaid.

This was the beginning ofWomen in Business. They firstagreed to meet every othermonth, but soon realized itwasn’t enough.

“A lot of it came from work-ing out of my home,” Lambertsaid. “I missed the company ofpeople and of other womenwho had similar experiences. Iwanted to know how otherwomen balanced their work andtheir families, and I wanted tofind ways of networking.”

Lambert said she was in-vited to a meeting of BusinessNetworking International, thelargest networking and referralorganization in the world,which helped her refine the newNorwood-based group.

“They require that you meetevery week, and if you can’t go,you have to find someone elseto fill in for you, and that justseemed like too much for me,”Lambert said. “It was just toostructured and too intense.We’re still young and we’re stilltrying to find our legs. We’redefinitely more for women whoare interested in helping thegroup form and grow.”

Women in Business is com-prised of a variety of local en-trepreneurs, and Lambert saysthat is part of the group’s suc-cess.

“We’re all from differentbusinesses and at differentpoints in our careers. We boosteach other up,” she said.

Each person who joins the

organization has a certainstrength, whether it’s an acuteknowledge of technology or aprecise understanding of east-ern physical philosophy - as inthe case of Lambert.

“I’m a total technophobe,”she said. “But someone else inthe group who is really goodwith computers helped mebuild my Web site. We all sup-port each other.”

Lambert runs a Shiatsu mas-sage practice out of her mauve-colored home on Everett Av-enue.

Lambert admits that it hasbeen difficult spreading theword about her business, and

often finds that people don’tfully understand exactly whatshe does.

“People may not understandhow we work with energy inshiatsu, but they certainly knowhow it feels not to have any,”she said.

And, Lambert predicts,Women in Business memberswill not have to contend withthat problem.

Electricity deal delayed

The Board of Selectmenhave yet to reach an agreementwith electric company, NStar,regarding a deal that could netNorwood $40 million.

Members of the board havebeen in negotiations with NStarsince March.

Selectman Jerry Kelleherwas the driving force behind theinitial proposal, which would setin place a 20-year agreementbetween the town and the energycompany.

Initially, the selectmen be-lieved they would have a con-tract to present last week atTown Meeting.

Approval at Town Meetingwould have released a $24 mil-lion loan for the startup costs

associated with the installationof a transformer at an Ellis Av-enue substation and duct linesbeneath University Avenue.

Town Manager John Carrollsaid Norwood was very close toreaching an agreement withNStar, but officials were work-ing on adjusting the language ofthe contracts to make sure alldetails were spelled out clearly.

NStar spokesman MikeDurand confirmed the final de-tails of the contract were in pro-cess.

Selectman Chair MikeLyons said Norwood couldschedule a one-article specialJune 9 Town Meeting regardingthe Norwood-NStar deal.

“I hope we can have itwrapped up by then, but I’drather take a little more time tofocus on the language and make

sure we get it right,” Lyons said.However, Town Meeting

members Judith Howard andSean Dixon wanted more detailsabout what they could expectfrom another special TownMeeting.

“Are we to understand thatthe contract will be signed be-fore we have a chance to ap-prove it?” Howard, representingDistrict 3, asked.

“Our intention is to have afinal contract signed beforebringing it back to Town Meet-ing,” Lyons said.

Dixon, a Town Meetingmember from District 4, said hewanted more information aboutthe contract before being askedto approve it.

added burden on the depart-ment. He said the cost of instal-lation is slightly higher and de-mand is steadily increasing.Hanson also said it is expensivefor Norwood Light to purchasemore high-def channels to meetcustomer demands.

“The competition is increas-ing their services, but they havedeeper pockets than we do,”Hanson said. “We need to keepup.”

“It seems like we get noticesabout rate increases from theother companies two or three

times a year,” Selectman BillPlasko said. “You haven’t in-creased [cable] rates since2006, so people may be expect-ing this.”

Hanson said that despite thehigh costs and the competition,Norwood Light nets a profitand gains commercial custom-ers.

“We’ve added eight largecustomers in the last fourmonths,” Hanson said.

Caritas Norwood Hospitalis one of Norwood Light’s newsubscribers.

Hanson said some residen-tial customer loss is ongoing,but that customers staying withNorwood Light take advantageof its other services.

“We have had a 26 percentincrease in telephone servicesince October,” Hanson said.

In other business, TownCounsel Ken Barna told theboard he is working withNorwood Light to monitor theprogress of the Taunton andMiddleton power plants, study-ing the feasibility of purchas-ing a capacity contract to planfor the town’s increased powerneeds in the near future.

Selectmen and NorwoodLight also discussed the pend-ing NStar agreement in execu-tive session Tuesday evening.

The Board of Selectmenadditionally entertained a re-quest from Historical Commis-sion Chair Judith Howard toaccept the red brick school-house on Sumner Street as a giftto the town from the developer.

Previously, Howard askedfor $45,000 at the Annual TownMeeting on behalf of the His-torical Commission to move thehouse to another location, butwas denied.

Regarding the gift proposal,members of the board wereconcerned Norwood would as-sume liability for the building.

“It’s pretty clear that this isprivate property, and if the His-torical Commission wants it,they should take responsibilityfor it,” McQuaid said.

McQuaid, along with BillPlasko and Chairman MikeLyons, agreed that acceptingthe building could potentiallybind the town if the developersubsequently decided the build-ing needed to be moved imme-diately.

“I worry ... the town willhave to pay for it,” Lyons said.

Selectman Jerry Kelleher,who is also a member of theHistorical Commission, saidthat if the building were movedonto private property that itwould no longer be under thejurisdiction of the town.

According to Town Man-ager John Carroll, the propertyowner has been cooperative andwould wait for the town to fig-ure out where to put the school-house, which is over 100 yearsold.

“How can we accept it whenwe don’t have anywhere to putit?” Plasko asked.

The selectmen agreed totable the issue until next week’smeeting, since member HelenDonohue was not present thisweek.

“While I’ve already said Iwon’t support it, I think thelittle red schoolhouse may havea better chance if Mrs. Donahuewere here,” McQuaid said.

Memorial Day preview

Norwood Veterans Agent,Ted Mulvehill is making plansfor this year’s Memorial Dayfestivities, which he said trulybegins this Saturday when flagsare placed on the graves of ev-ery veteran buried in Norwood.

“It’s a great thing to do, andit gives people a pause to reflecton these amazing heroes,”Mulvehill said.

At 8 a.m. on Monday morn-ing, a memorial mass will beheld at St. Catherine’s Churchto honor all those who havefallen in service.

Following the mass, a flaglowering ceremony will be heldat the Old Parish Cemetery tohonor Revolutionary and CivilWar veterans buried there.

The annual Memorial Dayparade will step off at 10 a.m.from Old Parish, travellingdown Washington Street andonto Winter Street, towardHighland Cemetery.

Once the parade reachesHighland, a benediction cer-emony will be held, and willinclude the memorial reading ofthe Gettysburg Address by aNorwood High School senior.Mulvehill said this year’s key-

note speaker will be OfficerJames Sills, a Norwood resi-dent and Veteran of OperationIraqi Freedom.

The ceremony will includemusic from the high schoolmarching band, the NorwoodColonial Pipers and the Colo-nial Boys fife and drum troops,concluding with a performanceof the classic military memorialhymn “Taps.”

“It’s a really movingceremony,”Mulvehill said.“The Girl Scouts and Brown-ies decorate the veterans plot atthe cemetery with flowers, andthey play the echo taps, whichis the way it really should bedone. It’ll give you goosebumps the size of theAdirondacks.”

The corner of Washingtonand Mylod streets in SouthNorwood will be dedicated inmemory of Francis G. Bowles,a World War II veteran whogrew up in the house at 1329Washington St.

“That’s our 52nd memorialcorner,” Mulvehill said.

The parade will travel backto the Norwood VFW for an-other tradition; a cookout.

“We’re looking forward togood weather and a goodcrowd,” Mulvehill said. “It’sthe busiest time of year for usin the veterans office, but it’sdefinitely the most rewarding.These are men and women areour heroes, and it’s an honor tocelebrate them.”

Hopes for a state tourneybid went by the boards for theyoung Norwood baseball team,but the Mustangs didn’t godown without a fight.

Needing five wins in theirlast seven games, Norwoodstayed in contention with a gut-wrenching 9-8 win over host

Framingham in 15 innings lastWednesday.

However, the Mustangs lostto Milton two days earlier andto Walpole last Thursday.

Those defeats set up a must-win situation against Natick onSunday, but the Redmen took a7-5 victory in 10 innings.

“If you look over our roster,

we’ve got a young team,”Norwood Head Coach TonyFruci said after theFramingham game. “Theyfought back, which is great.We’re making progress. We’redefinitely going in the right di-rection.”

Against Framingham, theMustangs came back from atwo-run deficit and eventuallywon it with two runs in the sixth

inning.Nicholas Rodrigues deliv-

ered the go-ahead run with asingle that scored CoreySennott.

Sennott started the rallywith his fifth hit of the fray andstole second. Later in the in-ning, Chris Pinette’s single toleft-center gave the Mustangs

a 9-7 lead.Pinette also pitched out of a

jam in the bottom half of theframe, after taking the ball withthe bases loaded and one out.

With the Mustangs leading,9-8, the ace right-hander got thenext hitter to bounce into afielder’s choice and the follow-ing batter to strikeout.

Rodrigues was the otherpitching hero of the day. He

surrendered only one run innine innings of relief.

The Mustangs also receivedclutch contributions from SeanKeady and Brian Williams.

Keady tied the game with atwo-out double in the ninth, and

At one point during lastweek’s crucial Bay State Con-ference track meet, the deficitwas a mere one point. TheNorwood boys’ squad was neckand neck with visiting Natick.

“It’s 39-38, so it’s been nipand tuck all the way,” Mus-tangs’ head coach Jim Forrestsaid of Natick’s slim lead.

The Redmen eventuallywon out, 79-51, as the ‘Stangs(3-3) suffered their third loss of

the campaign.The defeat was a bit disap-

pointing, considering Norwoodlost only one Herget Divisionmeet heading into the match-up, and was still fighting for thedivisional title. Walpole even-tually clinched the Herget.

“Much better [than lastyear], but we had held hope thatwe were going to be able to wina title,” Forrest said. “[But] it’sbeen a great season...We have

The tourney-boundNorwood boys’ lacrosse teamdefeated Dedham 17-0 on Mon-day for its first shutout win asa varsity program.

The victory came severaldays after six Mustangs werenamed to the Bay State Confer-ence All-Star team for their ef-forts this season.

Steve Cottens and Mike

Rossman made the BSC FirstTeam, while Pat Coskren andSteve Mahon earned SecondTeam accolades.

Tri-captain MikeNotarangelo and AdamCasserly were voted as honor-able mentions.

“We had a good showing, byfar our best year showing,”Head Coach Tom DeMaio, whowas honored as BSC Coach ofthe Year, said.

“It’s just a reflection on the

program, and the youthcoaches, and the kids,” DeMaiosaid. “I told the kids before thegame today if they hadn’t de-cided they wanted to work tobecome great lacrosse players,we wouldn’t have 14 wins, wewouldn’t be playing in the tour-nament, and I wouldn’t havebeen voted as coach of the year.So, it’s all about the kids.”

Cottens, meanwhile, scoredhis 100th career goal duringNorwood’s 10-2 loss to Herget

Divison powerhouse Walpolelast Thursday.

Cottens registered two un-assisted strikes on the after-noon. He reached the covetedmark on his second tally, whichcame in the second half.

Norwood (14-5) trailed theRebels, 7-1, at the break, butDeMaio attributed the deficitmore to Walpole’s strengthsthan to his own team’s weak-nesses.

“Walpole is a great team and

I thought we played very wellon the defensive half of thefield,” the coach said. “We lim-ited them to no transition goalsand played them tougher thanwe had our past few games.However, they are a great de-fensive team, and it is very dif-ficult to get good shots on net.”

Despite the loss, DeMaiosaid the tough competition onlymade his squad better.

a long way to go as a far a big meet and we’re lookingforward to continue to show [our] progress [in thepostseason].”

Norwood was scheduled to compete in the conferencemeet this past Tuesday at Weymouth.

The Mustangs will travel to Milton tomorrow for thefinal regular season meet, which had been postponed be-cause of rain.

Against Natick, senior Alex Webber turned on the jetsto score big despite competing while not feeling well.

“[He was] sick as a dog,” Forrest said. “He came inand ran a personal best in the [110] high hurdles [and alsofinished] second in a tough [300 hurdles] race.”

Webber won the 110 high hurdles in 15.7 seconds,while Robbie Thornton followed with a personal best 15.8.

Thornton also ranked second in the triple and longjumps, while also placing third in the 200 dash.

Mike O’Brien took the 400 meter, crossing the line in53.2. He also finished third in the 200, while Rob Stantonplaced second in the mile.

“Rob Stanton had a great race in the mile,” Forrestsaid of Stanton’s time of 4:56. “Mike O’Brien ran a toughdouble running the 400.”

In the field events, Greg Migdal won the high jumpwith a leap of 5 feet 6 inches.

The Mustangs also swept the shot put, with PaulCollontoni, Phil Kiy, and Joe Farulla finishing first throughthird, respectively. Collontoni’s toss of 44 feet 6.5 incheswas followed by Kiy’s throw of 42 feet 6 inches, andFarulla’s heave of 39 feet two inches.

Farulla also won the discus throw with a toss of 111feet 1 inch.

Collontoni followed with a hurl of 110 feet 9 inches.In the two-mile, Steve Curley and Dan Cubelli placed

second and third, respectively.Billy Rydzewski and James O’Connor took third and

fourth place in the mile.Josh Mergi finished third in the 300 hurdles and John

Finnell placed fourth in the 400.

Williams had three hits andscored twice on the day.

Fruci said he was impressedhis team hung in the battle af-ter things became a bit deflat-ing for his group in the 12thinning.

The Flyers spoiled a Mus-

tangs’ rally when they pickedoff a runner at second base.

“It was like sticking a pin ina balloon, and we could havefolded right there,” Fruci said.“But if anything it made [us]come back and even workharder.”

Before being eliminated byNatick, the Mustangs held theirown against Walpole, butcouldn’t come through with thebig hit.

Despite a solid pitching ef-fort from starter Chris Foleyand Mike Goodwin in relief,Norwood fell, 2-0.

“Foley pitched an excellentgame, and Mike Goodwinpitched the last two innings anddid a good job,” the coach said.“The main thing with theWalpole game was that we hadrunners on base, but wecouldn’t execute. [Walpole]did.”

“It was a good opportunityto test ourselves against a goodteam and I thinkwe got better to-day, DeMaiosaid. “The kidsplayed hard fora full 48 min-utes, did not geta lot of penaltiesand had a goodpositive attitudeafter a toughloss. Not onlydid I learn a lotabout this teamtoday, but Ithink they learned a lot about

A main argument amongstsupporters for a total rebuild isthat current NHS facilities willnot accommodate new scienceand technology labs.

If the school facilities arenot updated to include the labs,the New England Associationof Schools and Colleges hasimplied that Norwood HighSchool’s accreditation will beat risk.

Morrison said he believedthe recommendation was a stepin the right direction for thehigh school and the town.

“A lot of people may notagree with the decision, butpeople have stated that they willgo along with whatever theMSBA recommends,” he said.“Hopefully this will end someof the political battles we’vehad.”

The School Committee helda joint meeting Wednesdaynight with the Committee of 21and the Permanent BuildingConstruction Committee to re-view the MSBA’s decision andto plot a course for the futureof the project.

The Norwood softball Mus-tangs are going back to the statetourney and with a little swag-ger, to boot.

The Mustangs (10-5, 8-4Bay State Conference) provedsolid in all aspects of their gamelast week, defeating bothFramingham and Walpole toclinch their bid.

While it’s always nice to geta consistent slew of strikeoutsfrom ace pitcher Kristen Dolan,it may be even nicer to knowthe Mustangs can win withoutthe hurler’s superwoman hero-ics.

Take, for example, lastweek’s phenomenal 4-2 victoryover visiting Framingham.

Norwood excelled at theplate, in the field, and on thehill, without Dolan throwingher laser-like fastball during theBSC match-up.

Instead, Paige Hackett wentthe distance. Featuring timelyhitting and spectacular defense,the Mustangs played a superball-around game. However,they fell short of blowing thecontest open when they loadedthe bases but could not score.

“It’s great to win this way,but how many did we leave onbase, too?” asked Head CoachKathy Smelstor. “We had basesloaded, nobody out, and we

couldn’t drive in a run. But wecame back, started getting somehits, and we hit the ball prettywell today.”

Norwood’s first three hittersreached base in the first inning.

Britttany Calarese groundeda single into right, before AliMaloof bled another hit pastsecond into center.

Katie Lang followed with abunt hit to fill the bags withnone out.

A short fly to left, a foul outto the catcher - in whichMeghan Sutton made an out-standing sliding catch near herbench - and a liner that went offthe pitcher’s arm but landed inthe glove of second basemanHelena Tsai foiled the Norwoodthreat.

“I was just hoping thatwasn’t the way the game wasgoing to go,” Smelstor said.“But, because [we] were hit-ting, it was just a matter of time.We’ve been able to lately putthings back-to-back and scoresome runs.”

The Mustangs had betterluck in the following frame.Alex Dukas led off, stretchinga solid line drive to left-centerinto a double, and Mary BethDeflaminis drove in Dukas witha groundball knock up themiddle.

Flyers’ hurler Jamie Gra-ham settled down to get thenext two outs on a strikeout and

fielder’s choice.However, Graham didn’t get

out of the mess until afterMaloof singled and Lang drovein two with an opposite waydouble to left that gaveNorwood a 3-0 lead.

“The key hit was definitelyLang,” Smelstor said. “Defi-nitely a clutch hit. But we allhit. Now we have to just putthem all back together.”

The ‘Stangs held the three-run lead until the fifth inningthanks to the strong defense ofDeflaminis and Calarese.

First, left fielder Deflaminisdoubled off a runner with astrong throw to first after mak-ing a catch with one out in thethird. Then, in the fourth, sec-ond baseman Calarese robbedJessica Doucette of a hit, goingout and striding to her left tomake the grab.

“We were solid defensivelytoday,” Smelstor said. “Andwe’re coming around swingingthe bats, so it’s going to beanybody’s game at any giventime.”

It was Framingham’s turn inthe top of the fifth. A four-hitbarrage plated a pair of runs tocut Norwood’s lead to 3-2.

It started when Tsai andBrianna Wentland singled to setthe table. Hackett got the nexttwo batters on an infield fly ruleand a groundout. On the secondplay, Natalie Metta made a niceunassisted play at third on aone-hopper.

Pinch hitter Erica Antonioand Graham followed with RBIsingles to center and right to putthe Flyers back in the game.

Then, Lauren Duggan gavethe Mustangs some breathingroom. The freshman delivereda one-out RBI single up themiddle in the sixth. Dugganalso made a sensational leapingcatch at first base in the top halfof the frame for the second outas Hackett retired the Flyers inorder.

Hackett continued her effi-ciency in the seventh in a three-up, three-down finish.

“She did pitch a goodgame,” Smelstor said. “She lefta couple hanging over, butwhen they start to single you todeath, you've got to change theway you pitch, and that’s whatshe ended up doing. She wasn’tgiving that so called nice meat-ball pitch. She was moving theball around. It’s all about loca-tion.”

One day later, Dolan was inrare form, tossing another

beauty in Norwood’s 6-0 winover Herget front-runnerWalpole (10-3) that clinched atourney berth for the visitingMustangs. It also kept themwithin reach of winning the di-vision title.

“Kristen was definitely onagainst Walpole,” Smelstor saidof the right-handed ace, whofaced only four batters over theminimum.

Dolan allowed only twohits, while striking out 11 forher fifth shutout of the year. Asusual, she didn’t need manyruns to help her cause, but shegot them just the same.

“We had some big hits in thethird to get us a 4-0 lead,”Smelstor said.

The rally started whenBrianna Gearty led off with abase hit, but was forced out atsecond on the ensuing bunt at-tempt. With a runner on first,Maloof walked to make it firstand second, and Lang followedwith an RBI double that gavethe Mustangs a 1-0 lead.

Duggan then tripled inMaloof and Lang, and DianeBarry kept the party going withanother RBI hit.

Norwood added two runs inthe sixth to secure the victory.

With one out, hits by Geartyand Calarese put runners at firstand second. Maloof singled inGearty and scored on a doubleby Duggan.

“Scoring the extra two runsin the sixth really helped a lot,”Smelstor said. “I have seenWalpole come from behind toomany times to feel comfortablewith any lead until the last outis called in the last inning.”

The Norwood girls’ trackteam had the tough task of fac-ing a Natick juggernaut that hadalready sewn up first place inthe Herget against the Mus-tangs boys’ squad.

While they competed well,the girls never threatened thevisitors in the overall scoringcolumn.

“We had some decenttimes,” Head Coach MattCurran said. “We kept up in thehurdles winning both hurdleevents. We saw some improve-ment in some of the distancerunners.”

Norwood (2-4) boasted twofirst-place winners in MeganUnderhill and KatieBernazzani. Underhill ran the300 hurdles in a personal best47.2, while Bernazzani took the110 hurdles in 16.3.

Caitlyn Schultz placed sec-ond in the two-mile with a timeof 13:44, while Lauren Sheehanslotted fourth, crossing the linein 14:27.

Jenn Canniff finished third

in the mile with her season-besttime of 6:04, while MeghanFolan ranked fourth in the 800meter, finishing in 2:48.

Courtney Ryan ran the 200in a fourth-place 29.5.

In the field events, JessMotta placed third in the jav-elin throw with a toss of 81feet,1 inch.

Courtney Ryan and CoryRyan both leapt 4 feet, 7 inchesin the high jump. They finishedsecond and third, respectively,

as Courtney Ryan accom-plished the feat in fewer at-tempts.

“Jumps [we did] all right,”Curran said. “We jumped bet-ter.”

Natick (7-0) showedstrength in both the running andfield events, particularlyachieving in the 800 and discusthrow. The Redmen swept onboth occasions.

“They were Herget champsfor a reason,” Curran said.
