Norwood celebrates the Fourth

Thousands came out toNorwood on July 4 to celebratethe Nation’s IndependenceDay.

The day started with theChildren’s Bicycle, Tricycledoll Carriage and HistoricalCharacter Parade, and thenproceeded with the Tour of theOld Parish Cemetery, the Car-illon Concert, the NorwoodFirecracker 5K and ended withthe Fourth of July Parade Spec-tacular.

The weather was ex-

tremely cooperative as residentslined up for the parade. TownManager Tony Mazzucco spokeduring the parade to kick off thecelebration.

“It’s a great parade as always,and I think, for me, the best part iscoming up the street right now, sowe’re going to give a good listento the Colonial Boys, and happyFourth of July everyone,” he said.

The Norwood Colonial BoysFife and Drum Corps have been atradition for more than 60 years.The group plays around the worldand has a repertoire of traditionalIrish and American songs, oftenfrom the Revolutionary and Civil

War eras.Residents said coming out for

the Fourth is just another perk ofbeing in Norwood.

“We’ve been here seven yearsand we usually do this every year,”said resident Karina Pinero. “Thefirst time, we were new to Townand it was just the biggest celebra-tion, saving for Norwood Day. Wewanted to be part of the Town andwe made it a tradition to comeevery year. It seems to get betterevery year, more runners andmore volunteers.”

Board of Health approvesnew vaping/tobacco regulations

JefJefJefJefJeff Sullivf Sullivf Sullivf Sullivf SullivanananananStaff Reporter

Recently, the NorwoodBoard of Health voted unani-mously to approve several newvaping and tobacco productregulations in the Town ofNorwood.

Those new regulations in-clude prohibiting the sale of allflavored tobacco products, in-cluding mint and menthol, inall retail tobacco stores, in-cluding adult-only store retailtobacco stores, restricting allsmoke accessories, includingvaping products to adult-onlytobacco retail stores, and cap-ping the number of adult-onlyretail tobacco stores at two.

The adult-only retail to-bacco retail store cap wentinto effect on June 27 and theother two regulations are setto take effect on Sept. 15.

“The whole point of thepolicy is to reduce youth userates,” said Health Depart-ment Director Sigalle Reiss.“We saw a 150 percent in-crease in vaping rates in theMiddle School. This policy isone piece of a large puzzle thatwe as a community can take tohelp reduce substance use. Theschools and parents are also in-volved in educating and protect-ing our youth from substances,

and this policy will work to helpreduce access and reduce expo-sure to vaping and flavoredproducts.”

Reiss did say in previousBoard of Health meetings thatthis would only help to reducelocal access to vape productsand accessories, since a multi-tude of web sites allow residentsto mail order said products.

“We are fortunate to havestrong leaders on the Board ofHealth, Kathleen Bishop, JoanJacobs and Carolyn Riccardi.The Board members understandthe adolescent brain is like a potof boiling water and the morewe can do to reduce the tempera-ture the better outcomes we canprovide for Norwood’s youth.Reducing access and exposureto vaping and flavored productsturns down the temperature andcreates a healthier community.”

Reiss said they took a gooddeal of testimony from the pub-lic to arrive at this decision.

“The Board of Health takespublic input very seriously andwent above and beyond what isrequired by law to gather inputfrom stakeholders,” she said.“They heard and received writ-ten testimony from parents,school officials, law enforce-ment and local tobacco retailers.They weighted all the informa-tion and voted on regulations.”

But Vape Daddy’s ownerDavid Bershad said his dedi-cated 21-plus adult vape store inNorwood would lose a lot ofbusiness, enough to make himconsider shutting down his fourstore operation.

“It’s going to put us out ofbusiness,” he said. “Our sales inNorwood are pretty significantwhen you look at who is in thearea, it’s a major loss of revenuefor us.”

Bershad said he’s currentlyfighting to keep flavored vapeliquids or “juices” as he callsthem because it’s a major partof daily business.

“Something like 88 percentof all the juice we sell is con-sidered flavored, and about 70percent of what we sell is juiceand when the juice sales godown the hardware sales godown too, and then it’s over,”he said.

He said he disagrees withthe Board’s decision to not al-low a dedicated store like VapeDaddy’s to sell the flavoredjuice in the first place.

“I mean adolescents are go-ing to push the envelope nomatter what, and that’s not anexcuse, but do you think thatif you hold it out further they’renot going to go for it?” he

Selectmen hear about jobresources, discuss cemetery,Common operations

A two-and-a-half-hourSelectmen’s meeting on Tues-day, July 9 included a presen-tation from a MassHire repre-sentative, three public hear-ings, and other town businessitems.

Greg Bunn, executive di-rector of the MassHire MetroSouth/West Workforce Board,explained how the organiza-tion helps those who have lostjobs get training, gain jobseeking skills, and find newjobs. Support for these pro-grams is tied to the unemploy-ment rate which in the area isdown to 2.4 percent. “Weare the victim of our own suc-cess,” Nunn said, but the twoNorwood career centers con-tinue to offer resume assis-tance, workshops, and othersupport services. Over 400Norwood residents have vis-ited the centers in the past year.“We have a robust youth pro-gram,” Bunn noted, includinga partnership with NorwoodHigh School, seeking outyouths who are unemployed,focusing on career explorationservices for freshmen andsophomores while developingexperiential learning activities,including paid internships, forjuniors and seniors. More than64 students have participatedin the program. Bunn en-couraged anyone who wouldlike to look at job opportuni-ties to go to 32 Day Street tocheck out what is available.MASSHIRE’s efforts werelauded. “I want to thank youfor everything you’ve done forthe Town of Norwood,” saidSelectman Allan Howard.

A lengthy discussion en-sued over areas that SelectmanDavid Hajjar was tasked to ex-plore. Hajjar stated that he hasexamined current cemeteryfees along with Mark Ryan,Director of Norwood’s DPW.

“Our goal is to make thecemetery operation as close toself-sustaining as possible,” hesaid. The perpetual care ac-count has over $500,000, butonly the interest from the ac-

count can be used. Hajjar madeseveral recommendations togenerate revenue through in-creased fees for sustainability.Selectmen, however, ex-pressed skepticism.

“We aren’t a car dealer,raising our prices every year,”said Howard, who cautionedagainst raising prices fre-quently. Selectman WilliamPlasko questioned how feesare set and collected. It wasdetermined that more time wasneeded to review the recom-mendations and related docu-ments. The Town Commonand Bandstand Rules andRegulations were also debatedbut no vote taken on the entiredocument, leaving Hajjar tomake additional updates andreturn with a new documentfor review.

During the first public hear-ing Adam Heller from SienaEngineering requested permis-sion to install an undergroundconnection between two tele-communication conduits at theintersection of Nahatan andPleasant streets, creating a di-rect underground path betweenexisting utility poles.

“How long do you estimatethat you would be at the inter-section of Nahatan and Pleas-ant,” asked Howard. Heller re-plied one day, though it willtake two weeks of work tocomplete the entire project.The request was approvedunanimously. The second pub-lic hearing was a petition fromBarbara Kelleher representingNational Grid to install andmaintain a gas main to Pleas-ant Street from the existing gasmain at Sunset Avenue, south-erly to Morse St. and a gasmain from Morse Street to theintersection of Pleasant Street,westerly to building #83. Thiswould provide gas services inThe Norwood Industrial Park.The request was approved withrecommendations. The thirdpublic hearing was a requestby Mohamed Elalfy of 60Winslow Ave. for a Class IIUsed Auto Dealer License.This is a home business con-ducted entirely online with nocars to be stored at the home

or on the street. Three abuttersin attendance raised oppositionto granting the license but wereassured that this would not af-fect street traffic or parking.The request was approved af-ter clarification that no pur-chased cars would appear onthe premises.

A show cause hearing wasalso held regarding an incidentat Jake n JOES, at 475 BostonProvidence Turnpike, involv-ing an alcoholic beverageserved to a 17-year-old. Thevertical scanner was not usedin reading the ID. The bar-tender is no longer employedby the restaurant and vigorousemployee training is now inplace. Selectmen voted on is-suing a verbal warning as thiswas the first offense by the res-taurant in its nine years. “I feelcomfortable that they are do-ing consistent trainingthroughout the year, “saidHajjar.

Other business included ap-provals for C.V. (CommonVictualer) licenses issued toestablishments that preparefood and serve on the premiseto Norwood Center Pizza &Grille and New England Au-thentic Eats LLC., dba PapaGino’s & D’Angelo.

COMMON COURTESYWAS WARRANTED

To The Editor:Perhaps this concern is un-

warranted, but in watching arecent Selectmen meetingthere was a jarring momentduring discussion of a muralplanned for the town-ownedbuilding on Central Streetwhich houses Norwood Print-ing. Someone asked whetherthe occupant knew of thoseplans and the reply, as I heardit, was basically, “Who cares?We own it.”

That may be factually cor-

rect, but the message it conveysis hardly what a local business-man ought to be hearing fromtown fathers.??

Erik Perkins, the proprietorof the printing shop, has no ideaof what artistry may be in theworks, even though it willgraphically identify his opera-tion.

Granted, it’s not his shot tocall, but wouldn’t some commu-nication from Town Hall havebeen in order, other than a dis-missive suggestion that his feel-ings did not matter?

That bureaucratic aloofness

is compounded by Perkins’well-known generosity inreaching out to charities andcitizens going through hardtimes, making him such an as-set to the community.

The guessing here is thatwhatever winds up adorning hiswalls will be aesthetically pleas-ing, indeed a boon to an other-wise drab neighborhood.

Then again, art is subjective.But common courtesy is

not, and it’s sorely missinghere.

Airport Commission reviews proposal from Flight LevelJefJefJefJefJeff Sullivf Sullivf Sullivf Sullivf SullivanananananStaff Reporter

The Norwood Airport Com-mission met last week on July 2and discussed several issues,voting to approve a lease forFlight Level Lots A, B, and C,pending approval from theTown’s Purchasing Clerk.

Commission Chair MarkRyan said the lots are out by theControl Tower area, totalingabout 95,000 square feet. Theoriginal request for proposal(RFP) asked for proposals toconstruct a 7,000 square-foothanger. There was one submit-tal, from Flight Level, and a let-ter from Boston Executive He-licopters (BEH) General Man-ager Christopher Donovan (whowas also recording at the meet-ing) with 27 questions about the

RFP. However, no proposal wassubmitted by BEH.

Flight Level’s President andCEO Peter Eichleay came in totalk about the proposal.

“As you know, we’ve beenhere for several years, I believewe’re in our 12th or 13th yearof operating at the Norwood Air-port,” Eichleay said. “We’vesince built a team and expandedto several different airports.”

Eichleay said they operate innine airports but the flagship lo-cation and headquarters locationis still Norwood. He said theywant to grow and develop a newhanger there. He said they wantto utilize “modern materials” forthe new hanger and also installroof solar panels.

“We’ll be using high-effi-ciency LED lighting, we’ll beinstalling energy efficient

hanger doors. The doors will be20 feet tall according to our de-sign so we could accommodatesome of the larger mid-size cat-egory jets,” he said.

Eichleay said constructionwould be complete at the latestin early 2020.

“We want to move rightaway and we definitely havecustomers that want to move inthere,” he said.

Eichleay said right now theyare pretty much running at full-occupancy for their hangers,Their tenants include Fox 25 andChannel 10 helicopters.

“Which often fly nearly ev-ery day, often at a moment’s no-tice,” he said.

Eichleay said that fromwhere they are hangered now,those helicopters have to betowed on a dolly out to the heli-

copter runway circle, which eatsup valuable time for the newsteams.

“It’s north of five minutesfrom start to finish before theyget airborne, so the idea wouldbe to move them to the newhanger, given that it’s essentiallynext door to the heli circles fromwhich they would be launch-ing,” he said. “So it resolvestheir response time issue and italso cleans up our ramps.”

Eichleay said they some-times cut right through the maintransit ramp or go around, clog-ging up other traffic in the air-port.

“Just from an operational ef-

ficiency perspective we wouldwelcome not having to deal withthat traffic on a regular basiswhile we’re marshaling in ournormal transient customers,” hesaid.

Eichleay said this would alsoallow them to house more air-craft, including their new clientSouthern Airways, which meansmore business for the company.

“And all that means morebusiness, more jobs, more main-tenance work for us. We’remaintaining the aircraft; we’regoing to need more line techsand customer service people so

they’ve been coming for about 15years.

“Just because it’s fun and welike parades,” she said. “It’s greatto support the Town and its lo-cal. This is special and unique toNorwood, to have all the musi-cians and the bands come in,people come from all over andyou don’t always see that in otherTowns.”

Westwood resident BradWeir came out to see his custom-ers from 1A Pizza in Islingtonand Norwood residents MichaelaForde and Michael Forde.

“They buy three pizzas fromme every week,” he said.

Weir ran in the Firecracker5K, and said he comes out to livea more healthy life. “Part of thatis getting in shape and I’ve been

running for a whole two weeksso I thought I’d come out and dothis,” he said. “It’s fun, it’sNorwood and I know about halfthe people on the route becauseof 1A Pizza and I get a lot of sup-port.”

Resident and owner ofNorwood News and Book ShopJinesh Mehta Parshv said he’sbeen in the community for yearsand loves the events the commu-nity throws together.

“I’ve been doing this for morethan five years, it’s a good envi-ronment and I can make friendsaround the parade,” he said.“And we are open right now, sowe get the business from the pa-rade too.”

Resident John Healy said he’sbeen coming for 50 years.

“I’m in Plainville now but Igrew up in Norwood,” he said.“I feel like I’m part of Norwood,I just can’t get rid of it. I comeback all the time; my two sistersstill live in Norwood and I comeout to see them. I come to theparade because I know a bunchof the guys marching and I don’tget to see them as often as I wouldlike.”

Residents Frank and EllaWhite said they’ve been comingfor about five years and that sup-porting the Town is very impor-tant to them.

“It’s the hospitality in Townand the fact that everything youcould possibly want is just righthere,” said Ella. “It’s awesome,everything’s in walking distanceand it’s amazing the support theygive to everything that goes onin this community.”

are vaping could get the fla-vored juices online with a giftcard, and said he has to adhereto strict inspections with thethreat of citations from theTown, the State and Federal se-cret shoppers.

“I know this because theygive us paper work after-wards,” he said.

Bershad admitted he didn’tgo to the original hearing onthe matter.

“Shame on us for not go-ing,” he said.

He said he’s been trying to

schedule another hearing withthe Norwood Board of Health,but because of the summerschedule, the earliest date hecan get is two days after theban goes into effect on Sept.17.

“I never say die, we’re notgiving up,” he said.

it’s all positive developments for the airport,”he said, adding that they are also looking for alicense to buy and sell aircraft.

Vice Chair Michael Sheehan said he wantedreassurance from the Town’s Purchasing ClerkMary O’Brien that all the plans were in orderfor the proposal, for which the Commissionagreed. Sheehan and several other commission-ers voiced their support for the proposal as well.

Eichleay said they want to support a possibleextension to one of the runways at the NorwoodAirport so that they could cater to bigger clientsin the future.

“I’m convinced that we could become a legitcompetitor to Bedford, to a lesser extent maybeBeverly, but I think the airport would really soarif you added 5,001-foot runway that would givethe heavier armor another option,” he said.

Ryan also brought up an ongoing issue with thecar rental service AVIS at the airport. Members ofthe Commission have been counting cars and foundthat from May 31 to June 19, they were averagingseven cars a day outside of their assigned spaces.He also said they found unregistered and unlicensedvehicles on the premises.

“I think we might want to consider talking withAVIS. Since business is so great maybe they couldlease some space from us,” Ryan said.

Maguire said that AVIS should be informed,however, that since the lots are not designated foropen lot storage (and cannot be designated as suchuntil the one-year moratorium on open lot storagein Town is lifted), that any unregistered or unli-censed vehicles found at the lot will be towed. TheCommission voted unanimously to approve such acorrespondence.

“Each summer we organizethis children’s summer concertseries with the help of generalsponsors,” she said.

Farley said the funds helpfamilies in need at the NorwoodCivic Center to pay for pro-grams they might not normallybe able to afford.

“We were able to help 15

families last year that needed fi-nancial aid for the program,” hesaid.

Farley said each year is dif-ferent, as more or fewer fami-lies might apply for the aid, sothey don’t know yet exactly howmany families they will helpwith this money from theNJWC.

“It differs from year to year,some years we have more, someyears we have less, but whenwe’re doing more programmingit tends to be a bit more,” he said.

Folan said, “We’ve been do-ing this for three years and wehad found through experiencewith our members and other kidswho were taking classes somehad trouble paying for it and wethought it would be a good wayto give back to our community,”Folan said.

NJWC member EmilyBuffum said they wanted to beable to do the most good for the

most people.“We didn’t want to just do

one sport or one thing, wewanted to help kids who wantedto do dance or music or art andnot just be like the sports groups,because we know a lot of thesports groups have dedicatedscholarships,” she said. “Also,we choose not to be involvedwith the distribution of who getsmoney for what. If it was oneof our parents applying wewouldn’t know so there’s noconflict of interest. That’s whywe chose to work with the CivicCenter and the Recreation de-partment. They tell us how manyfamilies need help and some-times they’ll tell us there were alot of dancers or students in theart programs, but we don’t knowanything more than that.”

Folan said this particular

The Norwood Recreation Department Summer Camps got a special visit from Ernie Boch Jr. re-cently when he came to show off the 1960s-era Batmobile. According to Boch, he first unloaded itin June, and it is a remake of the original 1955 Lincoln Futura Concept car that was later boughtby George Barris for $1 from Ford to use on the show. Hundreds of children gathered around thecustom vehicle to check out its features and crime-fighting abilities. Batman was nowhere to beseen, as he almost only fights crime as the Dark Knight in the dark of night, but the Norwoodcampers seemed pretty excited nonetheless. The Norwood Summer Camps Program, along withother summer programming, includes outdoor and indoor activities like Father Mac's PlaygroundProgram, swimming lessons, field hockey, track clubs, the Summer Circuit Lab, the Summer StemChallenge with Lego's and more.

concert was funded through the Norwood Cultural Council, butthe money they donated to the Parks they raised themselves.

“We do different things, like kids karaoke events, where thekids pay money to sing karaoke songs. We participated in theWinter Carnival with the Civic Center and we sell candy andother things at events throughout the year to raise funds,” shesaid.

Buffum said they felt they did a good job in fundraising thisyear, but they could always do more and they always need volun-teers.

“We’re a small team of women so we’re always looking toincrease membership and get more people active in the group sowe can do more things,” she said.

DEATHS

Boston’s own Junior Damato, “The Auto Doctor” has agreed to field auto repairquestions from Bulletin and Record readers. Please forward your questions to

news@bulletinnewspapers.com and we will do our best to get your questions answered.

Junior Damato began servicing vehicles in 1969. He owns a 10-bay auto repairservice center in Hyde Park and an 8-bay center in Middleboro. Junior is anASE-certified Master Technician, ASE-certified L-1 and ASE-certified Natural Gas.

Ask The DoctorTo the Doctor: I have a 2001 Ford Escape 6-cylinder with 130,000 miles. I’ve never had a problemwith it. It’s been my second car for the last few years and now I put on about 100 miles a month. It’sbeen running nicely, even as of yesterday. But today I got in the car and, when I turned the ignition on,it attempted to start and then I heard a puffing noise and an immediate smell. The car will not startnow. Can you give me some idea of what I may be faced with?

From the Doctor: The first step is to check all sensor inputs and values. Second, take a look at theengine oil and coolant levels. The V/6 engine has been a good engine and it has a timing chain, not atiming belt, which seldom fail. Without hearing the engine, it is hard to say any more.

To the Doctor: I own a 2005 Toyota 4Runner with over 230,000 miles. When it gets cold outside, thecheck engine light as well as the VSC light comes on. Once the temperature gets over 50° they go out.There is no noticeable change in the way the vehicle rides. The codes that are in the computer areP0420, P0441 and P0455. This has been going on for a few years now. Hopefully you can give me someadvice as to how to take care of this problem.

From the Doctor: The fault codes indicate a problem. Start with P0420 – this is a catalytic converterfault. The P0441 and P0455 indicate an EVAP leak. A simple gas cap seal, vent valve or any other valvein the system can cause these codes. Both Alldata and Identifix have information on how to test thesystem. On high mileage vehicles, catalytic converters do wear and fail. The use of premium gasolinethat burns hotter and some catalytic converter cleaners can sometimes cure minor converter blues.
