The cover band "Fortune" supplied the soundtrack of 70s and 80s hits throughout the night at Ernie Boch Jr.'s celebration of his non-profit'sMusic Drives Us 10th anniversary on Aug. 13. At one point, Governor Charlie Baker took the stage at Boch's hangar to praise the foundation.

Many commuters have been cutting across the tracks in Norwood to get to the MBTACommuter Rail Station, and some residents and officials are not pleased.


The drab clouds and light rainthat hung over a quiet Norwood air-port on Saturday evening werepierced by strobe lights and the lyr-ics of 70s and 80s hits blasted fromamplifiers. Business owners,Norwood politicians and local celeb-rities flocked to the hangar ownedby Ernie Boch Jr. to celebrate the10th anniversary of his non-profitMusic Drives Us organization.

The foundation makes grantsavailable for organizations across thestate and supports public school de-partments with donations and instru-ments. The organization’s website

boasts that it’s distributed more than $1million to date.

At the beginning of the night, justbefore 7 p.m., Boch relaxed on theleather couches in his private officewhich looks out onto the hangar floor.He sat proudly next to a grisly statue ofa pirate and boasted of its “Disney qual-ity”.

Gene Levanchy, the Fox 25 newsanchor who hosted the recent “Zip Trip”through Norwood, popped in to greet his“old-time friend.” Boch Jr. then recol-lected the time he first revealed thestatue to his children; his son Alex de-scribed the statue as “horrible.”

Later that night, the horrible Disney-quality statue would sell for $750 in alive auction, with all the proceeds go-

ing to the Music Drives Us Founda-tion.

“His heart’s always in the rightplace, it’s going to be a great nightthat’ll raise a lot of money for a greatcause,” Levanchy said.

Boch Jr. said they had already col-lected over $100,000 in ticket sales andsponsorships before the celebrationbegan.

Amy Dumas, who purchased thepirate, is a manager for Roche Bros.and admitted she only bid to get theprice up to raise more money for thefoundation.

National Grid is starting roadconstruction on Washington Street inSouth Norwood, between ShortStreet and St. George Ave., on Aug.29.

The company is replacing a por-tion of an aging gas line with a plas-tic pipe that has more carrying ca-pacity and is designed for longevity.The project, expected to take two tothree months, carries an agreementwhere the company will pay theTown of Norwood between $18,000and $20,000 in lieu of providing apermanent patch of asphalt once theproject concludes.

Town Manger John Carroll in-formed the Board of Selectmen thatrepresentatives of Norwood notifiedNational Grid that that section ofWashington Street was on the list forupcoming repaving, as is customaryfor towns to do so as to minimizedisruption for residents and to insurethat any road recently repaved wouldnot then have to be dug up again.The company surveyed the lines inthe area and determined the pipe, in-stalled in 1951, was corroding andsusceptible to leaks.

The company will also replacethe gas mains on St. Paul Ave., St.Joseph Ave., St. John Ave, Folan

Just after 6:23 p.m., the last linesof passengers streamed out of thecommuter train at Windsor GardensStation. The conductor blasted thewhistle marking the train’s departurewhile a group of men lingered by theright end of the platform. Before thepurple and silver behemoth was outof sight, the men did what commut-ers do every day: they looked bothways, stepped down onto the gravel,crossed the tracks and walkedthrough vines and tree branches topop out onto bordering roads.

Rec Dept. forced toshutter pools early


The approach of each newschool year brings last minuteshopping trips for forgottensupplies, new schedules thatneed managing and, this year,a prematurely-shuttered com-munity pool.

The Norwood Departmentof Recreation is losing its life-guard staff to dorm rooms andcaptain’s practices. The numberof employees leaving theirchairs during the last week ofAugust is forcing the depart-ment to close Father Mac’sPool early

Usually, the departmentcloses Father Mac’s at the endof the school summer breakseason and maintains longerhours at the Hawes location inSouth Norwood. However, con-struction on a new bath houseat the Hawes begins Aug. 22,so the plan was to keep thelanes at Father Mac’s open aslong as they could.

But, department head GerryMiller explained at last week’sBoard of Selectmen meetingthat he didn’t have enough life-guards to safely operate thepool on those dates. Miller saidthat by next Thursday he’llhave lost all 30 of his seasonallifeguard staff. A few will re-

turn that Saturday and Sundayto reopen Father Mac’s for gen-eral swim.

“We run into the change andloss of guards every year. Thisseems to be one of the worstones, usually we are able to sur-vive the last couple weeks,”Miller said.

Miller suggested a late La-bor Day this year could be thecause for the early drop-off instaff numbers. In the meantime,Miller said his staff is doing allthey can to find temporary re-placements.

“We don’t want to closepools with the weather being sohot. But safety takes priority,we have to have enough guardsto make everyone feel comfort-able,” Miller said.

When he mentioned the is-sue before the Board, Select-man Helen Abdallah Donohuesuggested the Red Cross as apotential source for replace-ments. But Recreation Admin-istrator Howard Weinstein saidhe believes that one of thecauses for fewer lifeguards isthe Red Cross itself.

“I believe one of the issuesis the aquatic portion of the RedCross. Over the last few years,it has become harder to workwith the Red Cross for commu-nities to offer lifeguard courses.The Massachusetts Recreation

and Parks Association over thelast few years have tried toreach out to the Red Cross inthe attempt to improve com-munications,” Weinstein said.

According to Weinstein,the problem of understaffing iswidespread towards the end ofeach summer season. He’s re-ceived calls from condo-minium associations and apart-ment complexes seeking extrahelp and the same problemcomes up in meetings with rec-reation departments from othertowns.

“To find a lifeguard is astruggle. It is like trying to signan ace pitcher… there are onlya few lifeguards and everyonewants them,” Weinstein said.

Miller agreed and saidsince lifeguards are in suchhigh demand during this time,a pseudo-bidding war ensuesbetween employers. He saidthe department has a strict bud-get to adhere to and sometimesthe labor costs are too exorbi-tant.

Both Miller and Weinsteinagree that the last thing theRecreation Department wantsis to close a community poolwhen it’s scheduled for publicuse. But, as of now, the watersand lifeguard chairs at FatherMac’s will be empty on Aug.25th.

Lenox Street project grantedconditional approval


Planning BoarPlanning BoarPlanning BoarPlanning BoarPlanning BoardddddContinued on page 7

The Planning Boardgranted conditional site planapproval to the residentialdevelopment project pro-posed for 60 Lenox St. at itsAug. 15 meeting. Director ofCommunity Planning andEconomic Development PaulHalkiotis explained the de-velopers received approvalbut were advised to draft aproposal requesting a watereasement to present to theBoard of Selectmen for thenext special Town Meeting.

Developer John Marinican move forward draftingdetailed plans to present tothe Building Departmentwhen he seeks the proper per-mits to begin construction.But the Board suggested thatsince the site will tap intopublic drainage, his attorneysshould work on an article toprevent future problems.

Water that passes beneaththe Lenox Street locationends up entering the public

drainage system leading tothe detention basin near thepolice and fire buildings.Whenever a private structuretaps into public amenities, aspecial approval is required.

Halkiotis said since thedrainage from the site natu-rally leads to the public sys-tem, he doesn’t predict theTown having any issue withapproving the request. Still,he and the Board advisedMarini to cover all his tracks.

Halkiotis said, histori-cally, commercial entitieshave used the drainage sys-tem without issue and that anarticle approved at TownMeeting would essentiallylegalize an existing practice.

The Board also heard tes-timony from David Dupreeregarding his plans for 83Morse St. Previously, theBoard rejected thedeveloper’s request for a siteplan approval meeting be-cause of various zoning anddesign issues.

Last night Dupree and acolleague presented their re-

vised plans which incorpo-rated some of the suggestedchanges. Ult imately, theBoard decided the construc-tion plans still needed im-provements to satisfy zoningbylaws in order to receive theBoard’s official support.

Halkiotis said the Board isenthusiastic about the projectbecause a vacant building inneed of significant repair isgoing to be put to good use.

“The project will makethe land more valuable, safe,attractive and be put to useand generate jobs,” Halkiotissaid.

Halkiotis said he’s excitedto see old buildings go backto being sources of produc-tion that could draw new in-vestments and incubate newstartups.

However, the site is a dif-ficult project to capitalize onunder existing bylaws. Whenthe manufacturing companiesused those sites in the past,

Brooks takesmulti-pronged

approach to addictionBrendan DeadyBrendan DeadyBrendan DeadyBrendan DeadyBrendan Deady

Staff Reporter

Heroin usage and relatedoverdose deaths have spreadacross the nation, and PresidentObama declared it a nationalemergency in 2015 as opioid-related fatalities reached recordhighs. The case is no differentin Massachusetts, as formerGovernor Deval Patrick de-clared a state of emergency in2014 and established a taskforce to generate new policiesaimed to combat drug abuse.Current Governor CharlieBaker continued the practiceand released a number of newregulations in the spring of 2015to attempt to stop addiction be-fore it begins.

Still, despite the growingawareness and piles of litiga-tion, the number of fatal opioid-related overdoses has risensteadily each year according theDepartment of Public Health.According to the data, over11,000 people unintentionallyoverdosed on opioids between2000 and 2015, with over 2000of those deaths coming withinthe past two years.

Norwood Chief of PoliceWilliam Brooks III reported atthe last Board of Selectmenmeeting that there were sixoverdoses in Norwood fromJuly to mid August, none ofwhich were fatal.

Selectman Paul Bishop, aformer police officer, asked ifthe department has seen an in-crease in the amount of over-doses. Chief Brooks said thenumber is flat, about the sameas it was last year.

“I wouldn’t exactly call thatencouraging, because we’d likethat number to be zero, but it’spromising in the sense thatthere’s no increase. I’d like tosee that number at zero,”Brooks said.

“I’d like to see that numberat zero too,” Bishop responded.

Brooks explained in an in-terview with the Record thatNorwood’s position along theroute dubbed “heroin Highway”makes the issue of opioid useparticularly relevant. He makesan effort to educate his officerson the nuances of properly in-teracting with a person strug-gling with addiction and pusheshis staff to have a rehabilitationfirst mentality.

He also tries to be at the fore-front of the battle. Norwood wasone of the first departments inthe state to carry naxolone,known by its brand name ofNarcan. The opioid antagonistdisplaces opioids from brainreceptors and has the power toreverse a potentially fatal over-dose.

He said the department also

tries to be proactive about iden-tifying individuals who exhibitsigns of drug abuse. They lookout for instances of shopliftingor petty theft and monitor cer-tain crowds known for drugactivity.

The idea is to identify indi-viduals before they get in toodeep. Officers approach indi-viduals offering help to getthem in treatment, sometimeseven making transports todetoxification and rehabilita-tion facilities.

“I think the overall missionis not to just make [those ar-rests] but to drive down thenumber of people who usedrugs,” Brooks said. “If we ar-rest a dealer and they then postbail and still have customersreturn to them then we haven’tmade much of an impact.”Brooks said.

Brooks heads the NORPACTask Force, a collection of of-ficers from municipalitiesacross the state who collabo-rate on investigations related totrafficking and other seriouscrime. He said despite the ef-forts by departments on the lo-cal and state levels in terms ofenforcement and outreach,more and more families feel theimpact of addiction each day.

Since 2014 there have been116 opioid related overdoses inNorwood. Twelve were fatal.Nearly 300 people fatally over-dosed across Norfolk Countyduring that time, according toDPH data.

“Really, in spite ofeverybody’s best efforts therate remains flat, partially be-cause of fetanyl,” Brooks said.

Fetanyl is a powerful syn-thetic opioid that has beenlinked by many police depart-ments to surges in overdoses.

Facing an uphill battle,Brooks directs resources to thesource of the issue. By build-ing an empathetic reputationamong families who have ad-dicted relatives, and taking a“hardline” against dealers,Brooks hopes to gain someground.

He’s made informationavailable on the department’swebsite for landlords who havetenants suspected of distribu-tion. The page offers legal tipsto work towards eviction, themindset being that displaceddealers narrow access for cus-tomers.

“The people [of Norwood]see this and understand it’s inall towns and are supportive ofthe hard-line we take againstdealers,” Brooks said. “Butthey don’t see how much wedo in terms of rehabilitation.It’s an approach on both frontsif we’re going to [improve thesituation].”


Ave., and Atwood Ave.Traditionally, National

Grid lays a temporary patchonce its subterranean work isfinished and then returns toput down what Departmentof Public Works Superinten-dent Mark Ryan called a per-manent patch.

However, that portion ofWashington Street is sched-uled for repaving within thenext year, so Ryan andCarrol l offered Nat ionalGrid the chance to donate alump sum to the Town insteadof laying a permanent patchthat would eventually have tobe torn up only a few monthslater.

Ryan and his departmentarrived at the figure by calcu-lating the cost of material forthe square footage of asphaltrequired to lay down the per-manent patch. When Carrolland Ryan brought the contractto the attention of the Boardlast week, Selectman HelenAbdallah Donohue took issuewith the agreement.

She described the figure as"paltry, and disgustinglysmall." However, Ryan andCarroll reassured the Boardthat the agreement is to thebenefit of the Town.

Ryan said it would be awaste of resources to have thecompany put down a perma-

Washington St. continued from page 1nent patch if the Townplanned to tear it up soon af-ter.

“Instead of them investingmoney towards [something]that needs to be paved acouple years down the road,we can obtain funds, lessenthe burden on the Town andend up getting some costs sav-ings,” Ryan said.

The Board also expressedconcern about the amount ofdisruption the work wouldcause and questioned why theproject would occur over afew months.

“Well, honestly this is asubstantial project. Thetimeline makes sense. Andwhen you’re dealing with oldgas lines you can’t rush this

sort of thing,” Carroll said.After hearing the testi-

mony of Carroll and Ryan, theBoard decided to approve themeasure because delaying theproject over contractual dis-agreements could increaselikelihood of a disruption inservice.

Ryan added in a follow-upinterview that replacing thesteel offered another benefit:preparing Norwood for the en-ergy demands of the future.

“It’s smart to take advan-tage of the opportunity nowto increase the carrying ca-pacity of the pipeline becauseso many people are switchingover to natural gas in Massa-chusetts because it’s cheaperthan oil,” Ryan said.

The event raised more than $250,000 for the Music Drives Us Foundation, which will be allocated throughgrants to public schools and music organizations around the state.


ugly pirate, we need to keep the music in public schools,” Dumassaid.

Boch Jr. said he created the foundation because he’s alwaysbeen sensitive to the value of music for kids and wanted to pro-vide the resources in underserved areas.

He said the charitable event was different than others in thepast. He described it as more of a celebration of the program’slongevity as well as a thank you to the individuals and organiza-tions who contributed throughout the years. The event was in-vite-only, at $100 a ticket, with about 300 attendees.

The night did have the tone of celebration. Boch navigatedthe floor slapping backs, shaking hands, singing along with thecover band Fortune, and always seemed to be met with praise.Boch acknowledged he sometimes receives some bad press be-cause of the size of his auto empire.

“But that doesn’t matter to me. I know what I’m doing, and Iknow what I’m doing is right,” Boch said.

He also addressed the blowback against his public support ofDonald Trump for president.

“I don’t care about all that. This is America,” he said. “Have Ihad people say to me they’ll never do business with me again?Sure. But that’s their choice. I didn’t vote for [President] Obamabut I still support him because I’m an American.”

Bob Eisnor came as a guest of the Arthur Cole Painting Cor-poration, which handled the contract for painting the inside ofBoch’s hangar.

“I’m just a painter, and you know there’s this perception ofhim that he has all this money, so what the hell does he knowabout me, why the hell should he care?” Eisnor said. “Well he’sdown to earth; he’s like us, a people person.”

His pilot, Nick Eliopoulus, stood by Boch’s private jet as guestschecked out the inside and called his boss a great-hearted personwho’s generous with his wealth.

Norwood Selectman Paul Bishop, who was there as a compli-mentary guest, commended Boch for his annual donations to thetown. Norwood receives $35,000 annually from Boch, whichBishop said allows the Town to aid smaller organizations thatotherwise would go unfunded.

Bishop didn’t hold the highest political office of the attend-ees by any means. Partway through the night, Boch interruptedthe music to introduce a special guest. Governor Charlie Bakerwalked onto the stage.

“Ernie’s always been a man who puts his emphasis on whathe cares about,” Baker said.

The Governor said logistically his time overlapped and it madesense to stop by for someone he had a long relationship with.Baker spent a great deal of time thereafter mouthing along thelyrics to Journey and Queen songs.

As the night wound to an end, after all the horrible pirates andguitars signed by Slash were auctioned off, Boch Jr. took thestage once more.

“I’m proud to announce we’ve raised over $250,000 in a singlenight.”

they grew exponentially andexpanded their structures pe-riodically. Presently, someportions of the buildings aretoo deteriorated and requiredemolition which can pro-long finalizing design plans.

Following the Site PlanApproval hearings, PaulEysie and his attorney pre-sented before the board a re-quest for their support of azoning map change at hisproperty on 871 WashingtonSt. The commercial strip hasbeen owned by the Eysiefamily for decades. The towngranted the Eysie family a

Planning Board continued from page 3special permit to use landdesignated for residences forcommercial purposes manyyears ago.

Eysie inherited the prop-erty over a year ago andwants to make structural andaesthetic improvements. Theimprovements he has in mindcould be stalled or requirespecial permits under the cur-rent residential zoning. IfEysie received the zoningchanges he could avoid anypotential hold-ups for futureplans.

The Board was sympa-thetic to Eysie’s argument,

but Board member AlfredPorro expressed concernsthat if Eysie wins the zoningchange and decides to sell theproperty, it’d leave the dooropen for an outside developerto build something controver-sial.

Ultimately, the Board didnot take action on the re-quest.

Man held on bail foralleged rape of minor


The weeklong search for aman with ties to Norwood wantedon warrants for the alleged rapeof a child with force, rape of achild with ten-year age difference,and indecent assault and batteryon a person 14 or over, endedAug. 15 when he turned himselfin at Stoughton District Court.

Erik Silva, 29, was alsoarraigned the same day and heldon $50,000 cash bail. He iscurrently held at Norfolk CountyCorrectional Center and isscheduled to reappear in courtSept. 13.

The Sharon PoliceDepartment posted to theirFacebook page on Aug. 8 a call

for the public’s help in locatingSilva on warrants for those threecrimes after a “lengthyinvestigation.” At one point,Sharon Police thought Silva couldbe hiding out at a relative’s homein Norwood.

Norwood Police ChiefEdward Brooks said hecollaborated with Sharon’sdepartment and was aware of theaddress where their officersbelieved he might be hiding.

Three days later on Aug. 11,Sharon Police released anotherpost explaining they were stillactively seeking Silva. Thedepartment said they believedSilva, who also had familial tiesto New Jersey, was still in thearea and receiving assistancefrom “those closest to him.” Thedepartment also said they

believed Silva was trying toobtain documents to flee thecountry.

But Brooks explained hisofficers followed the leadsshared by their Sharoncounterparts and found noevidence that Silva was in thearea.

According to David Traub,Spokesperson for DistrictAttorney Michael Morrissey,Silva arrived at StoughtonDistrict Court by his own will onMonday and was arraigned a fewhours later. As of Tuesday, he hadnot posted bail. No details couldbe made available about thecircumstances that led to theissuance of warrants for hisarrest.

Silva is represented byAttorney Michal Chinman.

MBTA Footpath continued from page 1ing the efforts by the MBTAto make crossing more difficultare counterintuitive.

“(The extended fence)doesn’t stop people fromcrossing, now people justspend more time crossing thetracks. It isn’t safe,” Abrahamsaid, referring to a recent ex-tension of the fence made bythe MBTA.

Pedestrians have cut acrossthe train tracks to access thestation or the head of a walk-ing trail at Endean Park foryears, much to the ire of RyanDrive residents. Two residentsof the street, who asked not tobe identified by name, de-scribed the excess traffic thecrossing point used to create.

They shared concernsabout speeding motorists rush-ing to drop off people to maketheir train, posing a risk ofsomeone getting hit once onthe tracks. One gentleman saidhe’s fine with the arrangementnow that cars are restrictedfrom parking. But the secondresident described the crossingas dangerous and was againstpeople treading across the pri-vate property owned by theMBTA.

“They’re trespassers iswhat they are,” he said.

The MBTA installed afence on the Ryan Drive sideof the tracks to prevent cross-ing. The end of the fence nearRyan Rd. has been repeatedlycut through or bent over. Afterhearing frequent complaints,Norwood’s Department ofPublic Works blocked theusual pass-through near 59Ryan Dr. with a pile of old treetrunks and brush. Someone,

according to a Ryan Drive resi-dent, just cut a new hole a fewfeet down from the usual open-ing.

The issue of the illegal cutthrough has reoccurred overthe years. The Board of Select-men recently rejected aWalpole resident’s request tohave a footpath installed whenthey met the week of Aug. 3.When they met two weekslater they unanimously votednot to reach out to the MBTAabout creating some sort ofaccess point, despite requeststo do so.

Selectmen Helen AbdallahDonohue and Bill Plasko ex-pressed concerns about safetyand liability for the Townshould someone be injured.

Gregg Albee, a Norwoodresident who lives on theWindsor Garden side of thetracks parked on Ryan Dr. totake his dog for a work atEndean Park. He does so al-most every day. Albee said heused to cut across the tracksuntil the fence went up.

“They’ve gone to somepretty ridiculous lengths tostop people from crossing,”Albee said. “I don’t knowwhat the statistics are on ac-cidents, but I know it’s beenused for years without issue.”

Albee still used to crossthe tracks after the MBTA in-stalled the fence, but wasforced to climb the hill nearThompson Street once theoriginal hole closed near RyanDr. it just became too muchof a hassle.

“It’s not a huge inconve-nience [not being able tocross] but ya’ know now it’san extra three to four minutedrive every day,” Albee said.

Albee suggested instead ofmaking all these efforts to pre-vent people from crossing il-legally, the Town and MBTA

should get together and decideon a footbridge or officialcross over.

Blane Grandstaff, a resi-dent of Windsor Gardens,agreed. Standing on the plat-form waiting for his wife toget off the same train asAbraham, he said the restric-tive measures do more harmthan good.

“There’s no way to stoppeople from crossing, it’s tooconvenient,” Grandstaff said.“Ever since they extended thefence, people just spend moretime on the actual tracks. It’sdangerous.”

The Board has heard suchsuggestions about building alegitimate crossway before,but reiterated that it’s MBTAproperty.

At a previous Board meet-ing, Selectman Plasko said,“The fact that the MBTAwanted this closed off andthey didn’t find this safething...if they thought this wasa benefit, they’d be contact-ing us to expand it”.

Grandstaff agreed thatRyan Drive residents’ con-cerns of privacy and trespass-ing were legitimate, but sincepeople are going to continuecrossing all the same, thereshould be a safe compromise.

Debbie Cotter, a residentof Ryan Drive, said she has noissues with people cuttingthrough to get to the station.With parking no longer an is-sue, she believed the townwas robbing itself of a crucialasset for that part of Norwood.

“Living close to the stationis a huge selling point for thisneighborhood. Now, all the[parking] strain falls onWindsor Gardens. If theymade a real crossover and en-forced the parking rules, Ithink that’s pretty legitimate,”Cotter said.

This year's season of Norwood High School boys soccer will have a different flavor, as new coach RyanGerman will be giving his take on the sport.

In less than three weeks, Norwood High School's football, field hockey, girls volleyball, boys and girls soccer, swimming and cross country teams open up the 2016 fall sports season.The first Wednesday of September - the 7th - is the first big day, with five teams in action. PHOTO BY JAKE LEVIN

Get ready for some morefootball at Norwood High thisfall.

In addition to the Mustangsof the gridiron off of NicholsStreet, you’ll be hearing of afootball team on the pitch overat Father Mac’s as well.

Of course, there’s alwaysbeen a soccer team at NHS –both a boys and a girls team –but with Englishman Ryan Ger-man set to take over as headcoach of the boys squad this fall,you might be hearing him referto the game as ‘football’ in hom-

age to his roots in Tiverton, En-gland.

German, 26, has an extensivecoaching history in the SouthWest of England. AlthoughNorwood will be German’s firsthigh school coaching job state-side, he’s hardly a stranger to theage group. His first coaching gig– at just 17 years old – was ofTiverton Town’s U-16 team.

German progressed in thecoaching field, working his wayto head coach of Elmore FC, asemi-pro club in the Devon &Exeter League’s Premier Divi-sion.

It’s after that, German says,

One week from Saturday,the 2016-17 athletic calendarunofficial ly begins withNorwood football’s scrim-mage at Sharon High School.

From there, the count-

down will be officially on toWednesday, Sept. 7, the firstday of regular season gamesfor both boys and girls soc-cer, field hockey, volleyballand cross country, with theother sports (golf, footballand swimming) beginninglater in the week.

With that in mind, here’sa quick rundown of the fallschedules for the variousMustangs’ athletic teams; fullschedules can be found atwww.baystateconference.org.Keep in mind the 2016-17school year marks the finalyear of Dedham High School,

one of Norwood’s chief ri-vals, in the Bay State Confer-ence.

Under the new footballalignment, Norwood is nowin Division 2A South forpostseason (or consolation)purposes, a 12-team groupalso consist ing of SilverLake, Westwood, Nauset,Milton, Canton, Somerset-Berkley, Foxboro, Falmouth,Medfield, Plymouth Southand Scituate. The Mustangswill either enter an eight-team playoff bracket made upof the teams above after theirfirst seven games, or roundout their season with threeconsolation games vs. theother three non-qualifiers andclose out with ThanksgivingDay at home vs. Dedham.

Field HockeyLast season: 13-5-1Norwood’s field hockey

team will play a traditional

Recently, on the eve of theOlympics, we took a look atthe entertainment value ofOlympic ice hockey vs. Olym-pic basketball. This week,we’ll look into the absence ofone sport altogether: baseball.

When the 2016 Olympicskicked off in Rio de Janeiro,Brazil last week, it coincidedwith the announcement thatbaseball – and softball –would be returning as anOlympic sport in the nextsummer cycle, Tokyo 2020.

The initial enthusiasmturned to skepticism as detailsof baseball’s return came tolight.

Only six nations will beparticipating in the tourna-ment, down from the eightteams per field duringbaseball’s initial run in theOlympics (five games, from1992 in Barcelona to 2008 inBeijing).

Additionally, it appearsunlikely that Major LeagueBaseball will be sending itsplayers to Japan, depriving usof a chance to see a truly com-petitive international tourna-ment.

Japan and South Koreahave already announcedthey’ll be suspending theirprofessional leagues mid-sea-son to accommodate theOlympics, thus truly stackingthe deck against the UnitedStates (should they qualify) orany other participating na-tions.

A 25-man roster of MLBplayers from the United Stateswould be hard to knock off inthe Olympics. Just think of anoutfield with Mike Trout,Bryce Harper and MookieBetts alone. MadisonBumgarner getting the balland tossing to his in-seasonbattery mate Buster Posey.Any number of Chicago Cubsaround the infield, such as An-thony Rizzo or Kris Bryant…

Playing predominantlywith amateurs during its five-Olympics run, the U.S. cap-tured only one gold medal(Sydney, 2000). They cap-tured bronze in ’96 (Atlanta)and ’08 (Beijing), but failedto medal in ’92 and didn’tqualify altogether in ’04.

The logistics of MLBsending its players to Tokyo– or anywhere, for that matter– is complicated by the al-ready drawn-out length of itsseason: 162 games. Olympicbasketball avoids any conflictwith the NBA, due to its Au-gust scheduling, while theNHL can afford to send itsplayers every four years be-

Baseball's half-heartedreturn to the Olympics

cause a hockey rink remainsthe same in January as it doesin June: cold. The increasedlength in the NHL's seasondoesn’t matter.

Baseball, in its purestform, is played outdoors. Rainaside, there’s seldom an issuewith games from May-Sep-tember, but in the early stagesof April and latter days ofOctober, weather wreakshavoc almost yearly. Baseball,unlike football or soccer,seems to suffer in the qualityof its product in the coldweather.

Freezing MLB’s season inAugust for 10-14 days willhave a literal effect on eitherthe front or back end of itsschedule. The regular seasonmay need to start around St.Patrick’s Day, or the WorldSeries could run as late as Vet-erans Day.

One quick fix could be theelimination of the All-StarGame in Olympic years, sav-ing four days on either end ofthe season. Although, baseballis a game which prides itselfon its history more so than anyother sport…combined, re-ally. Nixing the ASG wouldn'tgo over too well with purists.And then how would home-field advantage in the WorldSeries be determined?

Day-night doubleheaderscould be regularly scheduledduring Olympic years; say,five or six per team, cuttingdown on five or six days oneither end of the schedule.This could be done either inlieu of or in conjunction withelimination of the All-StarGame but again, not an idealfix.

A completely outside thebox solution could be to movebaseball and softball from thesummer games to the winter.I’m no expert on the climatein Pyeongchang, South Korea(the location of the 2018 win-ter games) in February, butI’ve got to imagine it’s notquite Cabo San Lucas or LosAngeles if they’re planning onhaving skiing events there.

So how could baseballpossibly work in the snow? Itcouldn’t. But it could work in

Bay State schedule, withhome-and-homes with allHerget opponents and asingle game vs. the CareyDivision. Addit ionally,they’ll have single nonleaguegames against neighboring ri-vals Westwood and Canton(both away). The Cantongame will be a rematch of theMustangs 2-1 postseason lossfrom a season ago.

Norwood opens this yearwith three straight roadgames, beginning onWednesday, Sept. 7 atBrookline. Their first homegame is Wednesday, Sept. 14vs. Wellesley. As always, thegames vs. the Walpole Pork-ers are sure to draw theirshare of attention; Norwoodtravels to Walpole on Thurs-day, Sept. 22 and close theirseason out vs. the Porkers athome on Thursday, Oct. 27.

that he “swapped football forsoccer” and made the trip acrossthe Atlantic Ocean to the UnitedStates.

Now a Norwood resident,German takes over a programthat won just two games in 2015following a winless campaign in2014. But the adversity is some-thing German relishes, even ifthe chance to turn the Mustangsaround represents a slightly dif-ferent task than he’s used to.

“I’ve always had the chal-lenge of coaching players thatare older than me and ex-profes-sional players coming to the endof their careers,” German said,as he prepares to show his highschool players that graduationdoesn’t have to be the end of theroad for their playing days.“Thankfully, after a few weeksof practice sessions andmatches, I have often won therespect over and gotten the trustof all players.”

German has worked at theMassachusetts branch of GlobalPremier Soccer (GPS) sinceAugust 2015, based out ofWaltham. There, he oversees theMetro South Boston region,which currently has three teams:a 2007 boys team, a 2005 boysteam, and coming this fall, a U-8 boys and girls team.

The 2007 team representsplayers no older than 11, whichis when German himself firstjoined a youth team in England.

Truly adept at reachingfootballers of all ages, German’spassion for coaching hasn’twaned a bit. And due to the lackof recent success in Norwood,one of German’s favorite as-pects of coaching figures tocome into play quite a bit thisfall.

“I love my work and sharethe same passion as I did when Ifirst took up coaching,” he said.“There is no better reward thanseeing a team come together andimprove as one, especially whenyou happen to cause upsets and

domed stadiums – particularly in South Korea, where base-ball is already quite popular. Infrastructure would need to al-ready be in place, but as long as the stadiums didn’t take afterTropicana Field in Tampa Bay (i.e.: no catwalks), it could workout quite nicely.

The same logic could be applied to hockey, if Gary Bettmanwere to decide jamming on the brakes of the NHL season ev-ery four years isn’t worth it: move hockey to the summergames. As I said earlier, a hockey rink in January is the sameas June (or for the sake of the Olympics, August).

Baseball is clearly popular enough on a global scale to sendmore than just six national teams to the Olympics. And it wouldbe far from a U.S. invitational, like the basketball tournamenttends to be. Off the top of my head, Venezuela, Cuba, PuertoRico and Japan – especially as host country – could contendwith the Americans, even with portions of a dream team I threwout there earlier.

For as much as baseball can be lethargic in changing itsways, steps need to be taken to get the pros to the Olympics.The World Baseball Classic improved in TV ratings in 2013,but I’ve got a hard time believing those numbers wouldn’t atleast double with the prestige of an Olympic backing.

If done properly, I think baseball could be a more excitingtournament than either basketball or hockey. But for as greatas the Olympics are, it’s still the Olympics we’re talking about.I have zero faith anything gets done.defeat the odds.”

German joked he’d like tocome right in and “beatNeedham, outplay Wellesleyand comfortably defeat Natick.”He acknowledges he can’t pre-dict a quick turnaround, how-ever, and figures logic dictatesmore of a “gradual build” for theprogram.

“We have nothing to lose,”German said. “Everyone wantsto play us. That will be morethan enough to ensure we aremotivated and ready to prove ev-eryone wrong.”

Tactically, German favorsthe possession style of soccer,which consists of patient build-up play out of the back and con-trolling the tempo of the match.

Which isn’t to say he’s mar-ried to the method, and will besure to make the necessary ad-justments for whatever roster heultimately builds with the Mus-tangs – a roster that will beunited, regardless of its perfor-mance.

“The players and I will notbe blinded and we will ensurewe play to our strengthsthroughout the high school sea-son,” he said. “The tacticscould well be different for eachgame, but the basics will al-ways be the same: hard work,team spirit and a belief thatwill be built up and very dif-ficult to break.

“Team spirit is a must,”German continued. “The ladswill have team events and willbe reminded at every trainingsession that trust in your team-mates and the team spirit is amust before any individual

ability.”A fan of Chelsea FC, Ger-

man has taken a liking to theNew England Revolution aswell since moving to Massa-chusetts. While soccer iswildly popular in the U.K., heconfirms that many Britonsare down on Major LeagueSoccer (MLS). But Germanbelieves it comes mainly frompeople that are guilty of over-rating the English teams, andhe’s hoping he can continue tohelp shed that stigma, whichis often a notion held byAmericans as well.

“The MLS definitely getsunwarranted stick for its styleof play and overall quality,”he said. “I’ve watched theRevs on a number of timesnow and although it still hasa long way to go to ensure thestandard can be compared toEuropean leagues, I do feelquite a few players couldcompete in the Englishleague.”

Only 13 days remain be-fore Norwood’s first pre-season scrimmage at NorthAttleboro on Wednesday,Aug. 31 and then anotherweek before the regular sea-son opener on Sept. 7 atBrookline.

Until then, German hopesto create a palpable buzzaround the program not seen insome time.

“I’ll be working as hard as Ican, along with the players, toensure we do the town proud,”he said. “That being said, wewould appreciate any extra sup-port for our games. Every sup-

“SYMPHONY OF THESOIL” TO BE SHOWN ATTHE LIBRARY

Together Yes’s Fall 2016Sustainability Series will kickoff on Thursday, Sept. 22 at 7p.m. at the Morrill MemorialLibrary. The group will show thedocumentary, “Symphony of theSoil,” free of charge and opento the public in the library’sSimoni Room. Popcorn andapple cider will be provided.

Our first and true home isEarth, and our presence here ispossible because of a thin layerof “living skin” on the surfaceof the planet – soil. This film byDeborah Koons Garcia (2013)is an investigation and celebra-tion of what is rightly called theinterface between geology andbiology. It takes between 700and 1,500 years to generate aninch of topsoil, and 90 percentof U. S. cropland is now losingsoil faster than its sustainablereplacement rate. How can wehelp make a difference in con-

serving this vital resource? Whatare others doing to preserve soil?

The film is sponsored byTogether Yes, a nonprofit orga-nization dedicated tosustainability and the commu-nity building necessary to it.This film was shown two yearsago, but bears repeating. It isbeautifully made, educationaland inspirational.

2016 Lincoln MKXWhen I arrived home on Monday evening, I found a Lincoln MKX in my driveway. This is the

first one I have had and I did not know what to expect. Would I like driving this V/6 powered,all-wheel-drive, crossover vehicle? How would it ride and handle? The MKX is redesigned for the2016 model year, both inside and outside, as well as having had a realignment of all trim levels.

This is a multipurpose vehicle available in front or all-wheel-drive and models start at $38,100(plus $925 for destination). Base engine is a 3.7-liter V/6 at 303 horsepower. The top level is theBlack Label all-wheel-drive at $55,810. Our test vehicle had the smaller 2.7-liter twin turbo ECOBoost V/6 that has instant power from idle to the red line. When you press on the accelerator,you can really feel the extra power from the turbo charges.

The MKX seats four with comfort; fold the rear seats down and there is plenty of storage space.The seat height is low, so us shorter people have no problem getting in or out. All controls are atthe driver’s fingertips and the very controversial Sync system has been simplified and is easy touse, including voice recognition. The front seats are both heated and ventilated while the rearseats are heated only. This is not a small vehicle and there are NO blind spots from the driver’sseat. The MKX has all the latest safety features – even hill assist – so the vehicle will not roll backon a hill. Eighteen-inch tires help the handling and ride; there is even a full-size spare tire. This isdefinitely a premium crossover vehicle that drives and handles more like a car and the activenoise cancellation makes the cabin very quiet at any speed and road condition.
