The Selectmen announced the recipi-ents of the 2016 Andrew and Ernest BochMemorial Fund last week.

Each year, the Boch family donates$30,500 to the Town, for which localnonprofits and town programs apply fora share.

“It’s been somewhat of atradition…and I would like to continueto do it,” Ernie Boch Jr. said during theSelectmen’s meeting on June 14, whenhe presented the check to the Board.

According to Selectman HelenAbdallah Donohue, Ernest Boch madethe promise to establish this fund in 1997.

“It goes to many nonprofit organiza-tions that really need it,” chairman AllanHoward said. “The difficult part of it isthere’s so many orgs that need moneythese days, so it’s up to the board to dis-perse that money.”

This year, the money was split 35ways, with the smallest shares being $250and the largest, $3,000, going to the

Health Department.According to Health Department Di-

rector Sigalle Reiss, the $3,000 will gotowards an autoclave and ultrasoniccleaner - two machines that clean andsanitize dental instruments - for thetown’s dental clinic. Reiss said that thetown’s autoclave had broken beyond re-pair right at the end of this school year.

The Ecumenical Food Pantry re-ceived $1,000 from the Boch Fund. As-sistant Executive Directors Nancy Maierand Claudia Mackey thanked the fundon behalf of the organization, and notedthat the $1,000 would be going towards“needs of the Foot Pantry, including vi-tally-needed staples and equipment.”

During the June 14 meeting, Donohuesaid that the George H. Morse Housewould certainly be applying for some ofthe Fund, as its volunteers wanted to re-place garage doors at the building. TheMorse House received $2,500 from thisyear’s Fund.

Judge dismisses 11 of 12BEH claims against town

Justice Richard Stearns grantedNorwood Airport officials’ requeststo dismiss 11 of 12 counts broughtagainst them in a US District Courtcivil suit by Boston Executive Heli-copters, a July 6 decision said.

The only count that remained wasCount VII, constitutional retaliation,which appears to be one of the moresubstantial claims in the original suit.

In the suit, BEH accuses currentand former Airport Commissionersand staff of having conspired withfellow defendant FlightLevelNorwood - the Airport’s lone fuelprovider - in order to maintainFlightLevel’s monopoly on fuel sales.This, BEH alleged in the complaint,violated BEH’s civil and contractualrights, as well as antitrust laws. BEHhas been attempting to become afixed base operator in order to sellfuel at the airport.

In his decision, Stearns notes thatit is fairly typical of small airports tohave only one fuel provider -FlightLevel leases around 85 percentof the airport’s ramp space - onsite.

In order for a complaint to survivea motion to dismiss, Stearns writes,it must “state a claim to relief that isplausible on its face.” For all but oneof the 12 counts BEH brought for-ward, Stearns did not find the claimsto be plausible.

Stearns sided with the defendants,who said they were immune from an-titrust liability under “state actiondoctrine.” He also sided with the de-fendants on the counts dealing withcontract breaches. For example, whenit came to the land lease BEH had en-gaged in as subleasee, Stearns notesthat in Massachusetts, “no privacy ofcontract (or estate) exists between alandowner and a subtenant.”

School Committee discussesstaffing, fiscal responsibility

Brendan DeadyBrendan DeadyBrendan DeadyBrendan DeadyBrendan DeadyStaff Reporter

The Norwood School Com-mittee met on July 13 to discussthe budget, staff retention andto amend wording to policiesrelated to the education of stu-dent substance use and tobaccouse on school property.

The longest discussion ofthe night focused on staff de-partures from Norwood’sschools, which prompted com-mittee member PatrickMcDonough to propose an in-quiry that would examine howmuch of their staff is promotedinternally. McDonough sug-gested the committee needed tofigure out why so many indi-viduals seem to seek positionsin other towns.

“There’s a general percep-tion around town that we arenot doing enough to promotein-house” McDonough said.

McDonough suggested anexamination of staff records todetermine how many positionsare filled by “outside” candi-dates versus employees alreadywithin the school system. Heexpressed concern thatNorwood schools weren’t do-ing enough to retain talentedteachers and administrators.

While SuperintendentJames Hayden, ChairmanJames Gormley and memberMyev Bodenhofer acknowl-edged the importance of retain-ing the most qualified candi-dates, they agreed that the rea-sons for individuals to seekemployment outside of

Norwood occur on a case-to-case basis.

Ultimately, they decided notto commission an internal studyof employment records.

The committee also re-viewed a list of the employeeswho are not returning in the fall.The topic of personnel depar-tures led to a number of con-siderations about whether a se-rious problem exists.

Member Michele EysieMullen, who has over two de-cades of teaching experience,wondered if salaries were a fac-tor for teachers and staff leav-ing. Lisa Igoe, on a similar note,said she hoped the systemlooked at prospects beyond fis-cal responsibility. She saidpassing over talented applicantsbecause it doesn’t fit budgetwould be a dangerous practice

Superintendent Hayden as-sured the committee membersthat each staff member is hiredbased on their fit for the job,that competitive salaries are notan issue and that there is noproblem in the system’s culturethat is driving talented staffaway.

BudgetThe committee then re-

viewed the FY 2106 budget.“This is the sixth year where

we’ve been allowed to finish inthe black. That is a major ac-complishment,” Hayden said“(Business Manager Ann MarieEllis) helps us keep honest andefficient throughout the year.”

Hayden then warned ofsome potential budget short-falls for FY 2017 caused by

decisions at the state level re-garding a grant that would’veprovided funding for the sala-ries of four paraprofessionals.

The state originally prom-ised a grant of over $114,000which Governor Charlie Bakersubsequently vetoed. Haydencalled this bad news but quicklyoffered some “good news.” Heexplained how he and Gormleywrote a letter to the NorwoodTown Government asking foradditional funding from a sur-plus local aid.

The committee then dis-cussed other potential shortfallsin the realm of the state CircuitBreaker reimbursement. CircuitBreaker refers to the costNorwood accrues in transport-ing students with special needsto other districts to receive theservices they require.

CONFEDERATE FLAGMISUNDERSTOOD

To the Editor:I was saddened to see Ms.

Fingerson’s letter to the edi-tor regarding the ConfederateFlag in Norwood.

I must have missed Ms.Fingerson’s previous letter tothe editor relaying her out-rage that the British flag fliestoday in downtownNorwood, in front of the Brit-ish Ale House, despite Brit-ish atrocit ies committedagainst fellow Americans intwo wars. I must have missedher letter to the editor ex-pressing her disgust at theIrish flag hanging outside ofThe Shamrock Pub, thoughthat nation remained neutralin The Good War, in essenceaiding Axis Powers. I musthave missed her letter to theeditor damning the flying ofthe Japanese flag outside theUnited Nations in New York,despite that country’s murderof literally millions in WorldWar II. But I cannot miss Ms.Fingerson’s leftist bravery indamning the ConfederateFlag now, buoyed as she is bya wave of political correct-ness that shields genuinelyinteresting and conflictingsentiments from rational dis-cussion.

I have worked for the last27 in the rural south, fromSpartanburg, S.C. toThomaston, Ga., to Tupelo,Miss., to Lufkin, in EastTexas. Taking drives afterwork, I have often seen Con-

federate flags flying in frontof homes. At work, I see de-cals. I work with these guys.I know their thoughts, theiremotions. I can guaranteethat 99 percent of them, ifasked why they admire thatflag, will tell you it repre-sents their heritage, and aheritage of which they are ex-tremely proud. It representsThe South to them, their ru-ral lifestyles, their rural culi-nary favorites, their ruralpastimes, all in the face of acentury and a half of a nationwhich has embraced the val-ues of The North, which hasrendered their accents embar-rassing, their grits disgusting,and NASCAR moronic.

Yes, it was the battle flagof the Confederate States ofAmerica, which advocatedslavery. But the flag of theUnited States of America alsoflew over soldiers who com-mitted the Sand Creek andWounded Knee massacres ofNative Americans, as well asMai Lei, and a host of othertragic events. Yet no one istaken seriously if advocatingthe banishment of that sym-bol.

I think that anyone sodisturbed by the mere sight ofa Confederate flag, honoredand cherished by literallymillions of fellow citizens forreasons cited above, that theyadvocate alerting authoritiesto “hate groups in our com-munity,” in that ultimate ver-nacular of absurdity, “need toget out more.” America isabout tolerance, and respect.Our values are codified inlaw. When someone suggestsin print that that law be used

against those who simplythink differently from us,then we as a culture, as a na-tion, are in troubling demise.

I urge Ms. Fingerson toopen her heart and mind tothose who are different fromher, and respect those differ-ences, as well as contemplatethat our greatest president,Abraham Lincoln, who over-saw the near-destruction ofthe entire country, whodearly felt the 500,000 liveslost, and ultimately who gavehis own life for “the cause,”never demanded the abolish-ment of that rebel symbol,never advocated hatred ordisgust for that symbol, butonly extended it, as well asthe men who fought under it,the greatest courtesy and re-spect . Indeed, Lincoln’sgreatest gift, his greatestclaim to genius, was in hisimmediate forgiveness of TheSouth as a means to mendwounds, and fences.

Robert E. Lee’s birthdaywill be coming around. I sug-gest Ms. Fingerson open herheart and mind and, insteadof her normal breakfast thatday, try Virginia ham andgrits. For dinner, with eitherNASCAR or a bass fishingtournament on in the back-ground, she should trychicken fried steak, okra, andblack-eyed peas. It would bean admirable first step towarddisplaying a true embrace offellow citizens just as deserv-ing of their heritage, as sheis of her own. Just one lastpiece of advice: don’t salt theham.

A plane attempting to landat Norwood Memorial Air-port on July 16 crashed inWestwood, sending the pilotand passenger to the hospitalwith serious injuries.

The plane, a 1979 Pipersingle-engine Comanche air-craft, crashed into a woodedsite near Pear Tree Drive. Po-lice responded to the sceneshortly after 3:30 p.m.

The crash occurredroughly three miles north ofNorwood Memorial Airport,the FAA said.

The pilot, a 65-year-oldNewton man and his passen-ger, a 77-year-old Norwoodman, were both flown to Bos-ton Medical Center with se-rious injuries, though oneman was f irst sent toNorwood Hospital.

According to registrationrecords, the plane is co-owned and the primary namelisted is William Walker ofNorfolk. Another l ist ingshows Philip G. Apley ofMaynard as a trustee.

Recordings from the Air

Traffic Control Tower inNorwood reveal how the air-craft seemed to disappearfrom view.

At one point, a voice - pre-sumably from the aircraft - isheard saying on the radioamidst feedback that theywere “losing power.”

The rest of the recordingreveals a conversation be-tween the Tower and a heli-copter in the air that hadmade visual contact with theaircraft prior to it crashing.Both parties try to locate theplane after losing sight of it.

“I lost contact with him,when he was on the right baseas you did and now he’s notanswering,” an air trafficcontroller said.

“He was very low, let mego over by the (UNKNOWN)and see if he’s on the

ground,” the pilot in the airsaid. “Yes, he was right herebut he was a lot lower than Iam right now.”

The pilot said he did notsee any smoke or crowds run-ning around on the ground.

The cause of the crash isstill being investigated by airand law enforcement offi-cials, but Dedham Fire De-partment said it was extricat-ing the victims of the crashat 40 Pear Tree Drive. TheWestwood Police Depart-ment Twitter account said thedepartment was treating theare of Pear Tree Drive as anactive crime scene.

In all, members of theWestwood, Norwood,Dedham, Canton andWalpole fire departments re-sponded to the scene of thecrash.

Stearns dismissed BEH’sconstitutional claims of un-due process, a FourteenthAmendment violation, aswell, but ordered a proposalfor a joint discovery processto further explore the retali-ation claim made by BEH.

“Whi le to th i s po in tBEH’s constitutional claimsfail to gain traction, there ismore heft to the assertionthat defendants retaliatedagainst BEH to punish it forthe exerc ise of i t s F i rs tAmendment rights,” Stearnswrote. “With respect to thisc la im, BEH has a l l eged

facts that, if proven true,plausibly suggest that theNAC took adverse actionagainst it in response to theexercise of three distinct,constitutionally protectedactivities. The defendants’motion to dismiss CountVII will therefore be de-nied.”

BEH President Christo-pher Donovan could not bereached for comment, butmembers of the NorwoodAirport Commission reactedpositively to the decision dur-ing the July Airport Com-mission meeting.

Boston Executive Helicopters' 12-count lawsuit in Federal Court againstAirport and Town officials is now down to one count, which deals withretaliation.

“When I first returned to thedepartment as chief in 2012, Imentioned that I thought the de-partment would function betterwith a deputy chief,” Brooks said.“I held off on that idea until thedepartment left civil service, be-cause the process would be morestreamlined. So last fall, follow-ing consultation with Mr. Carroll,I placed the position in my depart-

ment budget and removed onelieutenant.”

The other two promotionscame as a result of Lt. KevinMcDonough retiring from the De-partment last month.

Officer Chris Padden was pro-moted to Sergeant and SergeantDavid Benton was promoted toLieutenant to fill the vacancy.

“I am honored to serve theTown as a police lieutenant. Ipromise the men and women Iwork with that I will work hard toearn this position every day,”Benton said.

According to Norwood’sbylaws, the appointment andpromotion of police officers ishandled by the Town Man-ager. In this case, Chief BillBrooks made the recommen-dations to Town ManagerJohn Carroll.

The Norwood Fire Depart-ment also celebrated a promo-tion this month, as FirefighterJeff Campilio was promotedto lieutenant.

“Jeff is a nine-year veteranof the NFD and is a NorwoodNative. We wish Jeff the bestof luck in his career as an officer,”Norwood Fire Departmentspokesman George Morrice saidon behalf of the department.

Hayden explained that thefunds set aside in the FY 2017budget are based on enrollmentforecasts, but the requirementcould change based on the ac-tual number of students who arepresent come September. Headvised the members to preparefor any potential readjustmentsin the budget that may surfacebased on enrollment levels.Hayden explained that withbudget shortfalls occurringstatewide, the school systemshould prepare to absorb someCircuit Breaker costs.

Policy ChangesThe committee began the

meeting by unanimously ap-proving language changes forfour policies that deal with adrug-free workplace, the edu-cation of alcohol and tobaccouse by students, tobacco use onschool property, as well as theresponsibilities of personnelwhenever a staff member has tophysically intervene or restraina student.

They decided to alter thelanguage of the IHAMB policy,one that dictates the steps toeducate students about sub-stance use. The previous lan-

guage stated the purpose was todelay and reduce use amongkids or youth. Igoe said itshould never be okay to con-done any form of use amongyouth and all agreed that thepolicy be changed to preventuse, not delay or reduce.

The next policy change re-ferred to JICH, which dealswith the sale and use of alco-hol and tobacco on schoolgrounds. The committee de-cided to alter the language toinclude restrictions on the useof E-cigarettes on schoolgrounds.

Chairman Gormley alsocommented that the languageshould be more specific regard-ing prescription drug use, ac-knowledging the rising rates ofpill abuse in the state as a con-cern.

The committee voted tochange the language in the re-straint policy to reflect newdevelopments in state law. Su-perintendent Hayden said stu-dent to student violence is notan issue in Norwood, but feltthat the guidelines should re-flect the most updated policiesto avoid any case of confusion.

Norwood Stingrays notch firstwin of summer vs. Dedham

JakJakJakJakJake Lee Lee Lee Lee LevinvinvinvinvinStaff Reporter

Norwood Post 70 Jr. man-ager Dan Harrington has harpedon his team to play seven fullinnings all season long, succeed-ing in the effort more often thannot.

In Friday night’s postseasonopener vs. Newton Post 440,Harrington was provided withjust 5 2/3 innings of effort fromhis team. Which is hardly acause for concern, givenNorwood’s 10-0 win by way ofthe slaughter rule in the bottomof the sixth inning.

“One of the things that we’vesaid all year is to play seven in-nings,” Harrington said after thewin, which came at Barnes Me-morial Park in Dedham. “Weplayed six full, and if we playedseven we would have playedthat one hard, too. I was reallyproud of the way the guys cameout tonight.”

Norwood, which drew theNo. 3 seed in the District 6 field,also defeated Franklin on Sat-urday, 6-4, and Braintree onSunday, 2-1, to earn a spot in theDistrict 6 final - which doesn’ttake place until Wednesdaynight, in an event held after theRecord’s deadline.

Regardless of the resultthere, Norwood has punched itsticket to the Jr. Legion state tour-nament, however, as one of Dis-trict 6’s two automatic bids tothe final eight. The Jr. LegionFinal Eight begins this Saturdayin Greenfield, Mass.

Everything was clicking for

Norwood in Friday night’s winover Newton, with starter MatRice pitching an abbreviatedcomplete game shutout on threehits, five strikeouts and onewalk.

“He’s our ace,” Harringtonsaid of Rice. “He throws a heavyball - it’s not like he has this un-believable breaking ball, but heknows how to pitch, he knowshow to locate. He’s smart outthere, and he made two out-standing plays to help himselfout as well. He’s very athletic.”

The game was never reallyin doubt for Norwood, which led4-0 after the first inning. Post 70tacked on another run in thefourth, three more in the fifth,and two more in the sixth to pushit to the 10-run threshold.

Cam Flahive finished 2 for3 with a pair of two-run doubles,playing a role in Norwood’s bigfirst inning and really putting thegame away with his second ex-tra base knock in the fifth.

“Cam’s on fire right now,”Harrington said. “He put oneinto the screen the other night,two doubles here...he’s agamer.”

Flahive, who will be a seniorat Norwood High next season,is enjoying a breakout summerfor Post 70. He saw a limitedamount playing time with thevarsity for the Mustangs thispast spring, but he’s been ableto put it all together this sum-mer while emerging as a leaderon the Jr. Legion team,Harrington said.

“I asked the guys a couple ofweeks ago, who was going to

emerge as a leader, because thatwas one thing that we didn’t re-ally have,” Harrington recalls.“It’s not like high school whereyou have a lot of seniors or cap-tains. Cam’s definitely been aleader.”

The win over Newton gaveNorwood a 3-2 edge in the sea-son series, after the teams splittheir four regular season meet-ings. Harrington said that theteam met at Balch School Fieldto take batting practice prior tothe game, which didn’t start un-

til 7:30 p.m.“We went over a couple of

infield things,” he said of themeeting at Balch. “Everyone waspretty much all business andready to start the playoffs. Theseguys were excited.”

Norwood advanced in thetournament vs. Franklin behinda complete game effort fromMike James, who struck outseven Franklin hitters. James wasable to help himself out with atwo-run home run in the top ofthe first to ensure he’d never trail.

Post 70’s win over Braintreewas of the come-from-behindvariety. Flahive started forNorwood, going 6 1/3 inningsbefore Timmy Denehy came into get the final two outs for thesave.

Trailing 1-0 in the bottom ofthe fourth, Flahive drove in a runon a Braintree error to tie thegame. Norwood took the lead inthe sixth, after Michael Dooleyled off with a double and camehome on Sean Munro’s two-bag-ger a batter later.

The Norwood Stingraysswimming club notched its firstwin of the summer last Thurs-day on the road over theDedham Clippers, 234-195.

The win snapped a season-opening two-meet losing streakfor the Stingrays, who’d al-ready suffered losses againstNatick and Framingham.

“It’s always good to win, but

more importantly, they swamamazing,” Norwood headcoach Jimmy Locke said. “Wehad some really great races andgood effort and good supportfrom their fellow teammates.”

The Stingrays summer teamis comprised of swimmers ages5 all the way up to 18, withswimmers of varying abilitiesacross the roster. Groupingsinclude the 8-and-under divi-sion, the 9 and 10-year-old di-vision, the 11 and 12-year-olddivision, the 13 and 14-year-old

division and the 15 to 18-year-old division.

Locke says that the numberone goal of the team is “to pro-vide an avenue for the kids tocome in and improve theirstrokes and to have fun andbuild their confidence.

“We’re looking for high ex-pectations and not so much thespeed, but what you put into theprogram,” Locke said. “For usit’s about effort. I sent out one

NHS Softballplayers feature onMass Drifters team

Several members of theNorwood High School softballteam have hardly left the dia-mond since the Mustangs’ sea-son came to an end, opting infor a summer full of softball.

Among these players areSiobhan Reen, Janelle Kelleherand Bryn Garczynski, who areplaying for teams underNorwood softball head coachCarol Savino’s Mass DriftersSoftball program. The girls haveplayed in a variety of tourna-ments and showcases followingtheir postseason loss at KingPhilip on June 4, putting thegame in the rearview mirrorwith an eye towards the future.

The trio performed well atlast weekend’s Cape Cod Col-lege Showcase in Swansea,Mass., with Kelleher andGarczynski playing for a U-18team coached by Casey Butlerand Reen playing for a U-18team coached by TierneyMarceau. Kelleher andGarczynski’s team finished sec-ond in its six-team bracket, post-ing a 5-1 record whileoutscoring opponents 42-8 overthe six games.

“It’s great to flow right fromthe spring into the summer sothere’s no break,” Kelleher saidof playing for the Drifters. Sheand Garczynski’s team com-bined to strikeout just 13 timesover the six games in Swansea.“You’re still loose and every-thing keeps going.”

Kelleher is in her first yearplaying for the Drifters, whileGarczynski and Reen have eachbeen at it for the past severalsummers. Garczynski said thatshe’s used to the level of com-petition by now, whereasKelleher is still making note ofthe added intensity in the games.

“There’s a lot of competi-tion, everyone is the topplayer(s) from their high schoolteams, so you can see it,”Kelleher said. The junior-to-beis hitting .332 for the summer,with a paltry six strikeouts in 48at-bats. “Especially in the pitch-ing, they’re always accurate; alot of strikes and you don’t gettoo many balls. Not a lot ofwalks.”

Garczynski felt as thoughshe was in a bit of a slump head-ing into the weekend inSwansea, although her stat linewould beg to differ. She’s hit-ting .495 for the summer, steal-ing bases at a 94 percent clip (17for 18) and has 17 RBIs forButler’s team.

“She’s a great offensivethreat as she can bunt for a hitor swing for power,” Butler saidof Garczynski, who she calledher “set up girl,” as she’s spentthe majority of the summer hit-ting second in the lineup. “Field-ers have a hard time defendingher because of her versatility.”

Garczynski played almostexclusively as a catcher for theMustangs in the spring - despitethe disadvantage of being a left-handed thrower - and has beengetting significant run in center

field this summer.“It’s 50-50,” Garczynski

said, in terms of her preferenceof playing behind the plate or asfar away from home as possible.“I like them both.”

She’s made only two errorsin center this summer, whilethrowing out a pair of runnersat first from center field - whichgoes down in the scorebook asa rare 8-3 putout.

Kelleher has also shifted po-sitions this summer, movingacross the diamond from thirdbase with the Mustangs to firstbase with the Drifters, in addi-tion to some time in the outfield.

“There’s a little transitionbeing on the different side, but

it’s still stopping the ball, so it’sfun,” she said.

Butler lauds Kelleher’s focusin all aspects of the game, whichshe believes ranks as the high-est on her team.

“Janelle made a few over-the-shoulder catches and trackedballs that I never thought she’dhave a shot at, everyone was re-ally impressed,” Butler said.“She’s probably the one kid onmy squad that I can assuredlysay is 100 percent focused andin the zone at all times.”

Reen, who’s been playingsecond base for Norwood thelast several springs, continues toplay it for Marceau’s team thissummer. But Savino thinks

Reen, who’ll be a senior in thefall, could be her opening dayshortstop come next spring.

“She’s always been a player,Siobhan has talent,” Savino said.The opening at shortstop comeson the heels of AlyssaChamberlain’s graduation, asthe three-year starter forNorwood will look to continueher softball career at BentleyUniversity.

Two more weekends of tour-naments and showcases remainfor the Drifters, with the DudleyShowcase beginning today inEast Hartford, Conn., and theNE Finest Showcase takingplace next weekend inPlainville.

Norwood hosting Final Eight on Saturday Swimcontinued from page 10

It’s not the manner inwhich Norwood expected tobe here - not by a long shot.

But here Norwood isnonetheless - here being the2016 Massachusetts FinalEight American Legion base-ball tournament, which be-gins this Saturday at BalchSchool Field.

Since the announcementtha Norwood would be host-ing this year’s double-elimi-nation state tournament, it’sbeen predetermined that Post70 would lay claim to one ofthe eight bids, regardless ofits performance during theregular season.

Norwood lost three of itsfirst four games this summer,followed by a stretch whichsaw them go 9-4, bookendedby three more losses in its fi-

nal four games to finish theseason a pedestrian 11-10 andon the outside looking in ofthe District 6 playoffs.

“We’re going to be the un-derdog going into the tourna-ment,” Norwood manager PaulSamargedlis said on Monday.“Not only record wise, but Ilook across the state, andthere are teams that areloaded - several towns com-bined into one [team].”

Norwood finished theregular season with a run dif-ferential of plus-3 (133-130)through 21 games, numberssignificantly inflated over itsfinal two contests: a 20-16loss vs. Needham Post 14 onJuly 11, and a 17-7 loss vs.Foxboro Post 93 the follow-ing night to el iminateNorwood from districts.

“I look at the last twogames and I don’t reallycount those as far as our over-

all performance,” he said.“We knew even if we rolledout a guy who had pitched,we were tired. We played un-characteristically sloppy; thatmight have been the bestthing for us, to have sometime off.”

Norwood beat out bidsfrom Milford, Quincy andSudbury to host this year’stournament, bringing it backto Balch for the second timein the last four seasons. Theformat was entirely differentin 2013, however, as Massa-chusetts sent a team to theNational Bound Tournamentbased off records at the half-way point of the summer; theFinal Eight at Balch wasmore like “hosting an invita-t ional ,” according toSamargedlis, as the winner’sseason came to an end afterthe tournament.

The tournament begins on

Saturday at 9:30 a.m., with thefirst of four games on theday’s bill. Games will also beplayed at 12:30 p.m. and 4:30p.m., and after the openingceremonies are held at ap-proximately 7:30 p.m.,Norwood will take the fieldvs. an opponent yet to be de-termined.

“We hope to get a lot offans out there in support of usand that will fuel us, too,”Samargedlis said. “The kidsnot only recognize thatthey’re playing for their town,but they’re playing for theveterans that made it possiblefor them to play baseball.They’re also playing for thepeople who watch the games,and for the previous playerswho kept this program strong.You don’t get to host the statetournament like this unlessyou’ve got a history of goodbaseball in your community.”

2017 Hyundai Elantra LimitedI can remember when the Hyundai brand was new to the U.S. These were entry level cars that were not

well received by a lot of American buyers. That was many years ago and here we are today with a loadedElantra Limited front drive sedan (4 cylinder, 2 liter, 147 horsepower via a 6-speed automatic). Our testcar had all the options and advanced safety features that Hyundai has available for this model.

Let’s talk about the car. The outside style/design fits in with all cars in its size category. The pearl whitepaint looks different under all light conditions. All body lines and spaces are perfect. The glove soft leatherseating offers multiple adjustments. There is room for 4 adults and 5 in a pinch. Trunk room is ample.

The list of standard equipment is too long to write. There are many important features such as LEDrunning and tail lights, 17-inch wheels, 10 year/100,000-mile power train warranty, 5 year/60,000 newcar warranty. The warranty alone says it all: Hyundai believes in their vehicles and they back it up. Baseprice is $22,300 (destination fee: $835). EPA: 28 city, 37 highway.

The car handles like a more expensive car than it is. There is plenty of power at any speed and theengine is quiet under all conditions and speeds. The Tech Package adds $2,500 and includes navigationwith a large touchscreen, Infinity audio system with eight speakers with a sub-woofer, power moon roof,and front and rear heated seats. The Ultimate Package is $1,900 and includes HID headlights, automaticemergency braking with pedestrian dictation, smart cruise control, lane keep assist, plus more. Carpetedfloor mats: $125. At $27,700 this is a few thousand dollars less than competitors. The car is built here inthe USA (Alabama), as is the engine and transmission. If you are shopping for a great riding and lookingwell-appointed new car this should be on your list.
