The Budget BalancingCommittee (BBC) met onMonday, June 4 in its firstpost-Town Meeting session.

It ran just under an hour anda half and drew an audience ofabout 10 people ranging fromother committee/board mem-bers to several Town Meetingmembers.

Major items on the agendaincluded a review of a five-year financial projection forthe Town, a preliminary dis-cussion regarding the possibil-ity of combining Town/Schoolservices, and other possible ef-ficiencies in the Town andSchool budgets.

A loose timeline was estab-lished, in terms of long-termbudget goals.

With the emphasis in themonths leading up to May’sTown Meeting on Norwood’scurrent structural deficit, onethat is present even when aneconomy is operating at its fullpotential, the BBC – com-prised of members from boththe Town and Schools – madethe decision at that time to fo-cus on the long-term budget,rather than for the next fiscalyear (FY20).

In preparation for this,Town Clerk and AccountantTom McQuaid prepared a draftof a five-year financial forecastfor the Town, which he wentover with the group.

The five-year projectionwas based on the FY17, FY18,and FY19 budgets, with thepercentage changes between

them used to form a basic trendanalysis from FY20 throughFY24.

Before McQuaid had evenbegun reviewing his forecast,there was an extensive discus-sion about it as Committeemembers sought to reach aconsensus regarding what theforecast was and what somewanted it to be.

Particularly, items left outof the current budget – and,therefore, McQuaid’s forecast– were addressed.

“We can’t project unless weknow everything that we wantto include in a budget,” Com-mittee member Anne-MarieHaley said. “There have beensome things in the GeneralGovernment budget and in theSchool Department budget thatwere left out because weneeded to balance the budgetso, if we’re looking at this as a

five-year projection, thosethings need to be included inthat five-year projection.”

Chairman Alan Slater re-sponded to Haley. At the con-clusion of his introduction tothe five-year forecast, he’dtriggered the discussion withhis statement that theprojection’s assumptionswould be what a five-year fi-nancial plan would be basedon.

“What we’re trying to do isagree on, just basic principlesof numbers,” he explained.“We can add those things later.It’s very easy to add those tothis document once you havethe fundamentals, the basics ofthe document agreed upon.”

Myev Bodenhofer also al-luded to her own goals whileasking about the Committee’s.

Vacations are typically atime for kicking back, relax-ing, and not doing much ofanything.

Every so often, however,a vacation can prove to be sig-nificant and memorable, leav-ing a lasting and vivid impres-

sion on an individual or – inrare cases – on everyone tak-ing part.

This past April, eightNorwood High School (NHS)students – all girls – traveledto the Dominican Republic,not so much to go to thebeach, but to spend most of

CMS athletics proposedto School Committee


The School Committeegathered on Wednesdayevening, June 6 in the CoakleyMiddle School (CMS) libraryfor its last stop on the 2017-2018 “Traveling School Com-mittee” circuit.

The meeting came in at justover an hour and a half, estab-lishing a new 2017-2018 speedrecord.

Teresa Stewart was absent

due to a family emergency.The main item on the

evening’s agenda was Superin-tendent Dr. David Thomson’sreport on the Athletic ProgramCommittee (APC).

This Committee, comprisedat full strength of 22 memberstaken from youth and NorwoodHigh School sports, School ad-ministration, the School Com-mittee, community members,and parents, was formed at thebeginning of the academic yearand is focusing on three areas:

successful programming inother districts, financial consid-erations, and student engage-ment.

The APC, which will con-tinue its work over the next sev-eral years, was represented atWednesday’s meeting by fourmembers: NHS Athletic Direc-tor Jon Longley, NHS footballcoach Jim Tighe, Youth SoccerPresident Chris LoPiccolo andNHS field hockey coach

Selectmen hear morealcohol violation cases


SelectmenSelectmenSelectmenSelectmenSelectmenContinued on page 5

The Board of Selectmenmet on Tuesday evening, June12, in Town Hall for the first ofits bi-weekly summer sessions.It featured five appointmentsand ran two hours before goinginto executive session regard-ing the Town Accountant con-tract.

Two of the appointmentswere show cause hearings hav-ing to do with the sale of alco-holic beverages to persons un-der the age of 21.

These represented the latestin a growing list of violators toappear before the Board sincethis particular compliance op-eration began at the end of lastsummer.

The first of these hearingshad the Percival Brewing Com-pany (83 Morse St.) – repre-sented by its owner FilipeOliveira – before the Board.

The craft brewery has beenopen at the site since last Octo-ber. It began distributing kegslast month. It also bottles itsproduct and will begin canningoperations next month.

The business was cited forserving alcohol to a minor atone of its events and SelectmanAllan Howard expressed con-fusion at so much on site con-sumption at a brewery.

Oliveira explained that – asa new business without inves-tors and just starting its distri-bution operation – the on siteevents “provide us a lifeline. Itgives us an opportunity to –essentially – generate addi-tional revenue…until we get tothe point where we can begin

doing distribution on a regularbasis rather than on a retailside.”

Aside from offering the ex-pected responses of trainingand TIPS (Training for Inter-vention ProcedureS) certifica-tion for on site staff, Oliveiraalso put forward the business’change in security methods (theunderage visitor had accessedthe site through an unmannedentrance), and event closinghours pulled in from 10 p.m. toaround 8 p.m.

The second show causehearing had Paradise BiryaniPointe (1200 Boston-Provi-dence Turnpike) before theBoard for the same offense. Ithas been in business two yearsand held a liquor license for oneyear.

In both cases, this was thefirst offense of this kind and –in both cases – Howard mo-tioned for a written warning tobe issued. Both motions wereapproved unanimously.

Chairman Thomas Maloney– speaking of the ongoing com-pliance check as “an eye open-ing experience” and addressingthe audience at large as muchas the people at the appointmenttable – closed the hearing withthis statement:

“Please be mindful: this ini-tiative is going to continue.”

In New Business, severalitems led to discussion, with theTown Hall renovation project– currently being coordinatedby the Permanent BuildingConstruction Committee(PBCC) – generating the most.

According to Town Man-ager Tony Mazzucco, thePBCC – in its meeting last week

– has been discussing movingforward with a renovation planestimated at $5 million. Conse-quently, he directed the FinanceOffice to stop incurring any fur-ther costs on the project, whichis in the mechanical, electrical,and plumbing (MEP) studystage.

Town Meeting’s appropria-tion for the Town Hall renova-tion project was $900,000.

In his update, Mazzuccoexpressed some frustration at a$14,000 space needs study that“got about two minutes of dis-cussion” before the PBCC ap-proved it over his objection.

“I still don’t think thatmoney was effectively spent.So we need to take a pause onthis project, and we’ve stoppedany more funds being expendedon the project until the Boardcan have time to review wherewe’re going with this and cometo a consensus, and talk with the

MAKE BEST USE OFSOUTH NORWOOD LAND

To the Editor:To the citizens of Norwood in

the hope we will act in the bestinterest of our Town’s environ-ment and all of its citizens. A pub-lic hearing is scheduled for June18 concerning a parcel of land thatis located along the NeponsetRiver in South Norwood. This isan opportunity for our Town tosave land along two rivers, theHawes and Neponset which havecontributed so much to the historyof our Town from becoming aparking lot. The land along theNeponset is taxed as a wetland, is

on the Town’s master plan forpreservation of open spaces. Yourneighbors asked logically that theland and neighborhood of SouthNorwood be given the same ex-treme consideration. The neigh-bors should do what is best for theland, the Town, the neighborhoodand a couple of rivers in determin-ing what is the most beneficialuse, it is clearly not to build a park-ing lot. Does our Town place theinterest of car dealers for open lotvehicle storage over fairness toand the best interest of the peopleof Norwood’s safety, welfare,amenities, the environment, theneighborhoods, open spaces, and

rivers? Add to this, an increase intraffic in an area that has twoschools, a public pool and verylimited access to the land pur-posed for an 800-plus vehicleparking lot. Is there any concernfor the safety of the kids and otherpedestrians? When asked by whatcriteria they would ever considerturning down a permit for vehiclestorage, the planning board an-swered environmental. This landalong the Neponset is surely theposter child for that consideration.No one denies the car industry’s

Allison Doliner.Although the APC is in its

early stages of development, itdid submit three general recom-mendations to the School Com-mittee: to start a CMS athleticsprogram, to build and expandcommunity athletic partner-ships, and to develop a cultureof pride in Norwood athletics.

Longley spoke of starting aCMS sports program, mention-ing that there is a middle schoolsports league – the Bay ValleyLeague (BVL) – that the APCintends to look into during thenext academic year.

This would include survey-ing student interest in a sportsprogram, as well as the currentstate of youth sports programsin the Town in order to, accord-ing to Longley, “maybe identifyareas where there aren’t sportsoffered through the youth sportsofferings in Town and look atoffering those through a MiddleSchool program.”

In considering the possibil-ity of joining the BVL, the APCis considering sports such asvolleyball or cross country, nei-ther of which are offered inyouth sports programs butwhich are offered in the BVL.

Tighe followed, noting someof the benefits to participatingCMS students, using crosscountry as an example.

“There are so many kidswalking around the buildingthat don’t have an opportunityto participate in that,” Tighesaid.

Doliner spoke next regard-ing community and school ath-letic partnerships.

She emphasized continuingto encourage building a strongrelationship between youthsports – particularly those withless of a following – and thecommunity. Similarly, she alsospoke of building relationshipsbetween youth sports coachesand their counterpart NHScoaches.

Doliner also emphasizedNHS sports clinics offeredthrough youth sports or theCivic Center, or the NHS teamssomehow getting youth athletes

involved with what they’re do-ing.

She continued by speakingof recommendations to buildup a culture of pride at NHS,including the establishment ofan Athletic Leadership Coun-cil – comprised of student ath-letes, teachers, and coaches –in order to reach out to CMSand elementary students to getthem interested in Norwoodsports.

Citing the success of thisyear’s inaugural Senior Walk,in which graduating seniorswalk through the halls of theelementary schools in theircaps and gowns, Doliner ad-justed that to the athletic realm.

“I think all of the elemen-tary schools do their fifth gradefield days. Maybe getting someof the captains involved to godown and help run some of thegames down there,” she sug-gested, as well as bringingNHS athletes to elementaryfield days and holding rallies.

Doliner also suggestedbringing some of the alumniback who are playing collegesports in order to talk to NHSathletes “just to get them to re-alize all of the potential that’sout there for them.”

After all else was men-tioned, Doliner brought up thebiggest item on the list: add-ing lights to the turf field be-hind NHS and/or expandingthe number of turf fields onsite.

“There are multiple ben-efits when you have lights,”Longley added. “It gives ourown teams the opportunity tosupport each other, in thefall, particularly, when youhave lighting issues.”

Bringing up communitybenefits, Longley continued.

“If you’ve been to nightgames, particularly Fridaynight games, they really dobring the community to-gether,” he said. “It’s some-thing that the community canconnect to, and they’re reallycommunity events. They’renot necessarily high schoolathletic events, and that’s

when you would get themiddle school kids up there.You would get the highschool kids. It would affordthe opportunity for more par-ticipation on the field, aswell.”

Longley also advocatedfor the multiple turf fields asa way to increase practicetime and improve the overallathletics at Norwood High.

In the fall, the APC will de-velop an action plan, monitorits progress, and suggest fur-ther steps.

In the main appearance ofthe evening, Principal Dr.Margo Fraczek, went beforethe Committee with studentsOlivia Connor, MelvinDohbila, Sathvika Kommera,Careen McLean, CameronMunroe, and Rafael DaSilva.The students spoke of CMSprograms they really enjoy.

These included a recentschool trip to Washington,D.C.; the STEM (Science,Technology, Engineering, andMathematics) program, inwhich a bionic hand was madeusing cardboard, pasta andtwine and then was used topick up a ping-pong ball; theMustang Mentors Program forincoming 5th graders, music;and after school basketball.

In other business:The School Committee ap-

proved the food services policyby a 3-1 margin, with MauraSmith voting against it. Ex-plaining beforehand why shewould be in opposition, Smithsaid that “I just, in good con-science – myself – can’t votefor anything…” She then readfrom the back of the policy thepenalties for balances owed:prohibition from participationin any fee based program; pro-hibition in senior activities,graduation exercises, or re-ceipt of diploma. “…I justcan’t support anything wherethe student is penalized for afinancial issue with the fam-ily.”

The next School Commit-tee meeting will be on June 20at the Savage Center.

On Monday, June 18 andTuesday, June 19, two notewor-thy applications will go before thePlanning Board and the ZoningBoard of Appeals, respectively.

The first, a major project spe-cial permit application for theopen lot storage of cars, concernsthe Morse Street property behindthe school bus yard and across theNeponset River on the same sideof the street. It is under agreementwith Boch Automotive.

The undeveloped portion ofthe property, which is bordered bythe bus yard, the Neponset, thedead ends of the “Saint” streets,and the Balch ball field, was thecause of a recently resolved issuebrought about by a citizens’ peti-tion to change the land’s zoning –

against the owner’s will.The petition, debated in a long

Planning Board Town MeetingArticle hearing, was ultimatelynot recommended by the Boardand at last month’s Special TownMeeting was defeated: the resultof which became moot when At-torney David Hern, representingBoch Automotive, filed an Ap-proval Not Required (ANR) planfor the property on April 24, tak-ing advantage of a state law freez-ing the zoning for three years fromthat date.

Subsequently, the special per-mit application was filed on May4.

Advised by Town Counselthat it would lose an appeal if itvoted against the ANR, and withan unsigned ANR eligible for en-dorsement by the Town Clerk af-ter 21 days, the Planning Board

signed off on it at its May 7 meet-ing.

As part of the filed specialpermit application, a proposed siteplan was also submitted showingparking spots for 863 vehicles inthree different sections: the unde-veloped area, the site of the cur-rent bus yard, and across theNeponset River behind the ware-house.

A bridge crossing HawesBrook from the bus yard is alsoproposed.

As described by Town Plan-ner Paul Halkiotis, the proposedbridge will be for individual carsto cross, while car carriers willunload in the area behind thewarehouse.

Because of the low clearanceof the Morse Street Bridge, carcarriers will have to approach thesite via Washington and Shortstreets.

Halkiotis has asked the appli-cant to provide documentationdemonstrating that car carriers cannegotiate turns at key intersec-tions, such as Washington andShort.

Additionally, he was advisedby Hern that the applicant “willcommit to not utilizing any of theresidential streets to access thatsite for vehicle storage.”

Please attend the public hearing June 18, andhelp stop the imposition of added traffic, alteration of wetland, thesafety of school children, pool users and the neighborhood of SouthNorwood the loss of property value, open spaces and a completelyinappropriate use of this land.

PBCC and decide where we’regoing with this moving for-ward.”

Mazzucco tentatively esti-mated the amount already spenton the Town Hall renovation –in engineering and studies – atover $100,000.

“I could be wrong on that,”Mazzucco qualified. “We spent$14,000 on a space needs study,out of all that money.”

“We already had a study,”Maloney replied. “We had aplan.”

“They insisted on doing it,”William Plasko – who had at-tended, along with Mazzucco,the PBCC meeting at whichthe space study was approved– added.

The Board backedMazzucco and the Town Hallrenovation will remain onhold until the Selectmen dis-cuss the matter furtheramongst themselves and withthe PBCC.

In other inter-board busi-ness, Zoning Board of AppealChair Patrick Mulvehill sub-mitted a letter requesting anamendment to the by-law re-garding “area variance of sub-stantial proportion,” having todo with a recent zoning casethat was similar to an oldercase, where a similar letterhad been sent out. This led toPlasko’s comments on it.

“I’m not sure if this is re-questing us to simply onceagain push that same issue –that same particular by-lawchange – or revisit that issue,which may take a differentform.”

He suggested that the Se-lectmen and the PlanningBoard could meet to discussthe matter, with the ZoningBoard included, as well, withan August date suggested forthis meeting.

Mazzucco also requested asecond quarter reserve fundtransfer of $30,000 for the up-keep and maintenance of theForbes Mansion. It was ap-proved unanimously and willcover costs on the housethrough the end of the fiscalyear.

In Unfinished Business,Plasko recommended Assis-tant Town Clerk MaryLouFolan for appointment asTown Clerk, effective July 1.

He also recommended that– given her qualifications andlength of service (29 years) –her pay grade be at the high-est step, requiring FinanceCommission approval of a re-serve fund transfer to coverthe $8,000 amount that thebudget would increase by.

In two last items of note,Police Chief William Brooks– in his monthly appointment– introduced the newest mem-ber of the NPD, AdamOsowski, on the job for twodays.

The Chief also announcedthe retirement – effective at theend of June – of Detective PaulGiacoppo – later present at thetwo show cause hearings –after 29 years on the job.

The next Board of Se-lectmen meeting will be onTuesday, June 26 at 7 p.m. inRoom 34.

Norwood Record, 6/7/18, 6/14/18

Previewcontinued from page 5

Although the Town does havetraffic rules and regulations, withprotections for specific streetsclose to commercial traffic, noneof the finger streets leading to thesite are included on that list. TownCounsel, however, is looking atcase law regarding this.

The proposed open lot storagearea is partially framed by theNeponset River and HawesBrook. As a result, on the site planthe parking spaces in the unde-veloped section are pushed con-siderably back from the banks ofthe two waterways.

However, in order to stay outof that riparian zone, those pro-posed parking spaces are closeenough to the ends of the “Saint”streets to encroach into the 50 footvegetated buffer zone that is re-quired by Section 6.3 of the Zon-ing Bylaw.

As a result, the applicant hasapplied for a special permit thatwould instead provide a 25-footbuffer strip that would include afence, a 3-foot landscaped berm,and evergreen trees.

The hearing is at 7 p.m. onMonday, June 18 in the Police/Fire Station Community Room.

The Zoning Board of Appeal(ZBA) meets the next eveningwhen it will hear another note-worthy application that has takena little longer to develop.

Middlesex Integrative Medi-cine, Inc. (MIM) has filed a spe-cial permit application to obtaina license to operate a registeredmarijuana dispensary (RMD) thatit has proposed for the propertylocated at 76 Astor Ave.

This is the latest developmentin MIM’s efforts to open a dis-pensary in the Town, with theBoard of Selectmen granting it aletter of non-opposition in 2013and then another in June of 2016when the company re-appliedwith the state for a dispensary.

It also approved a CommunityHost Agreement with the com-pany that same month.

In September of 2016,Leominster granted MIM a letterof non-opposition regarding acultivation center.

This was followed, in Decem-ber 2016, by the state issuing aprovisional certification for MIMto open both a dispensary and acultivation center.

Astor Avenue is locatedwithin the Medical MarijuanaOverlay District (MMOD) for theVanderbilt Avenue area, and theproposed dispensary would be formedical cannabis only, withMIM’s representatives having re-peatedly stated that it has no plansto go retail.

If the outcome of MIM’s ZBAhearing is successful, and itsmeetings with the Board of Se-lectmen (scheduled to begin onJuly 10) go well, the path wouldbe cleared for its dispensary andcultivation center – now in thedetailed planning stage– to bebuilt.

The ZBA hearing is scheduledfor Tuesday evening, June 19, at7:15 p.m., also in the Police/FireStation Community Room at 137Nahatan St.

“We talked at Town Meetingabout how we’d like to at leastbe able to provide some sortof update about what we havedone in terms of long term pro-jections, and in terms of pos-sibly considering an overrideand what we might ask for,”Bodenhofer said. “I’m won-dering what our goals are asthis group in terms of what wehope to get done by Novem-ber Town Meeting.”

Responding to Bodenhofer,Town Manager TonyMazzucco approached thefive-year projection as a bud-get balancing exercise to de-termine just what would needto be cut in order to even thebooks, with an emphasis onwhere the Town is financially,and where it’s going.

“And then, if people dowant to look at an override,you then say, ‘Okay. Whatwould that look like to get ushere, to here and to here?’”

Mazzucco’s mention of thepossibility of an override wasmentioned several times dur-ing the meeting but waspresent throughout, informing

everything that was discussed.It also played a role in sched-uling, with next year’s Aprilelection a possible target datefor the question.

Slater made clear that theforecast was only a start, withhis goal to have a good idea ofthe Town’s financial needs andtheir distribution betweenTown and Schools by the endof the year.

His end of the year timelinewas revisited later in the meet-ing by Maura Smith, who ad-vocated for BBC consensus bythe November Town Meeting.

Both Slater and Mazzuccocame down against having aspecific deadline, withMazzucco offering that notifi-cations and public meetingscould be scheduled for what-ever time the BBC wanted tooffer its findings to the Town.Slater also raised the possibil-ity of another outcome.

“It could possibly be by theend of the year we may nothave a consensus on a way togo,” he said. “I think I’d liketo use it as a time frame andlet the chips fall as they may.”

In other agenda business,the possibility of combiningTown and School services waspreliminarily discussed, withpros and cons brought up byCommittee members.

School Department Super-intendent David Thomsoncommented at length about hisconcerns regarding “promisesof savings” in combined ser-vices and the caution necessaryin doing so.

“We need to be very, verysmart because Schools andTown Government and theirneeds – especially around IT –it’s Greek and Latin,” he said.“They are not the same. They donot serve the same purpose.”

He went on to note the 5,000computer users in the SchoolDepartment, and its additionalfederal and state rules and lawsregarding computer access,guidance, and data.

“So it is not the same con-versation,” Thomson continued.“We need to slow down, under-stand what the needs are, lookat it very succinctly, and marchthrough and do it wisely andsmartly.”

Town Meeting memberKelly Newmie, raising her handafter Thomson’s remarks and al-lowed to speak from the audi-ence, put forward the idea ofincreased automation as a sig-nificant method of savings,while making sure to state thatshe was in favor of positionsbeing eliminated with retire-ments rather than layoffs.

“That’s where the real sav-ings is, because not only do yousave the money now, you don’tpay insurance for a software pro-gram,” she said. “You don’t payretirement for a software pro-gram.”

Newmie continued by bring-ing up her own experience andhow it could be improved.

“The fact that I call the TownHall and I talk to three differentpeople before I get to where I’mgoing… That could be auto-mated by a simple piece of soft-ware that costs $30,000 a year.”

By the conclusion of themeeting, consensus was reachedon at least one matter: the Bud-get Balancing Committee willbe meeting every three weeksuntil further notice.

The next meeting will be onJune 25 at 5:30 p.m. in Rm. 24of Town Hall.

their time working at the Mari-posa Center for Girls, whichhouses a before and after schoolprogram providing fun learningactivities for school-age girlsdesigned at its core to educateand empower them as theygrow to adulthood.

This was the idea of NHSSpanish teacher Jessica Kaplanwho, when looking into coor-dinating a trip, had been pre-sented with this service option,which “seemed like it would bereally awesome to explore.”

Inspired by NHS’s GlobalCitizenship, a club and certifi-cate program encouraging glo-bal awareness and involvement,Kaplan asked, “What morecould we be doing?”

Answering her own ques-tion, she arranged the Domini-can trip and made it availableto interested or curious stu-dents. Some heard about itthrough Global Citizenship,others through their Spanishteachers, and still others byword going around.

For many in the eight per-son group, the decision to signup was more or less immediate.

In the year leading up to theeight day journey they metregularly to prepare. Yet nomatter how much one may pre-pare for anything, it goes onlyso far.

“It didn’t really hit me, whatI was doing, until the night be-

fore the trip, when I was pack-ing at 10 o’clock at night,” Jas-mine James said. “You can’treally prepare for somethinglike that. None of us reallyknew what we were gettingourselves into.”

“And what we expected wastotally different,” GretchenSandstrom added.

“Yeah,” James agreed. “Ev-erything was so different.”

The group of 29, comprisedof the NHS students, studentsfrom Norton High School, andSpringfield’s Chestnut Acceler-ated: Talented & Gifted (TAG)Middle School, arrived at thecompound to be met by a bigcircle of Mariposa girls.

“I was scared that I was go-ing to be really uncomfortablethe first day: that none of thegirls would want to come andhang out with me and that I’dhave to go to them first,”Lauren Gregorio recounted.“But as soon as I got off the bus,I was comfortable, and I waslike, ‘Okay. This is how it’sgoing to be all week.’ I wasn’tnervous. I wasn’t uncomfort-able. They welcomed us rightaway and we were, like, bestfriends after that.”

Girls in the program partici-pate in diverse learning activi-ties such as swimming, art,math, and sewing that are alsodesigned to be active and fun,and their American guests par-

ticipated, helping out wherethey could, learning, and hav-ing fun, too.

“There was never any pres-sure to make a good headbandor anything,” Dagney Overbeysaid. “Like, I don’t think any ofus stressed out if we didn’tknow how to sew.”

This lack of stress carriedover to the more manual aspectof their service.

The Mariposa Compoundwas in need of extensive re-pairs, including a protectivewall and a ditch… and appar-ently some members of thegroup hadn’t gotten the memo.

“They pointed to a big stackof, like, cinderblocks and werelike, so we need to move these

back there,” Gregorio said. “Idid not know we were actuallygoing to be doing manual labor,but once we started doing it andwe were all working together,it wasn’t even a burden.”

As for the ditch digging –which along with the wallbuilding, went on during the hotafternoons between before-school and after-school groups– that was embraced, too.

Informed of the things couldbe worse adage, “You could bedigging a ditch,” and that theyhad been in that proverbialditch made real, the responseswere quick and surprising.

This manual work, com-bined with the group’s involve-ment with the Mariposa girls

and its daily exploration of theirsurroundings (and a fewbeaches), led Marissa Burke toshare something the group’sguide Claudio had told themwhile they were there.

“He said, ‘A tourist is some-one who sees what goes on in aculture and doesn’t try to un-derstand, and a traveler issomeone who questions whathe sees and wonders why ithappens.’ And it just, like, Idon’t know… It made things alot clearer, I feel.”

Kaplan is coordinating asecond NHS Mariposa Founda-tion trip for next spring.

Olbrys, a junior, gave upjust one hit over seven in-nings of work while strikingout six and walking two forNorwood as the programcontinued its streak of win-ning at least one postseasongame for the sixth consecu-

tive spring.Bryn Garczynski gave the

Mustangs all the scoringthey’d need after she drew aleadoff walk to begin the bot-tom of the first, stole secondand came around to score ona series of errors committedby Sandwich.

He's back! Michael James, after completing his freshman year atQuinnipiac University, is taking advantage of his final season of eli-gibility with the Norwood Post 70 baseball team as a 19-year-old.

PHOTO BY JAKE LEVIN

Each summer, one of theunique aspects of theNorwood Post 70 AmericanLegion Baseball team is see-ing which Norwood Highstars of yesterday return to the

squad as 19-year-olds, a fullyear removed from their gradu-ation.

The summer of 2018 is nodifferent, with a group featur-ing Michael James, CamFlahive, Chris Petracca andCharlie Gover reprising theirbaseball roles from their Mus-

tangs days one last time.The one constant in the dug-

out for Post 70 for a decade anda half now has been managerPaul Samargedlis, whose pas-sion for the game remains asstrong as ever. With Norwoodoff to a 2-0 start on the season,don’t expect the enthusiasm totaper off any time soon.

“It’s year 15 for me and Istill get fired up and enjoy it,”Samargedlis said. “The kids areall good kids and we expect tomake the playoffs.”

After a rare down season forthe Mustangs on the highschool field – the team finished8-12 this spring, missing thepostseason for the first timesince 2010 – Samargedlis be-lieves that some of the otherteams in the ever-competitiveDistrict 6 West Division mightoverlook Norwood this sum-mer.

Walpole Post 104, FranklinPost 75 and Foxboro 93 will allhave teams made up of playerscompeting in the MIAA Divi-sion 1A (Super Eight) tourna-ment this spring – Walpole andFranklin High each made the

tournament, while Foxboro isstocked with players fromMansfield High, another SuperEight team. Throw in the factthat Needham Post 14 isstocked with kids who playedfor ISL-champion St.Sebastian’s this spring, and thedivision is just as loaded asever.

“Not that I ever look atNorwood as an underdog, butI’m sure some of these teamsare thinking of muscling us outof where we usually are, butwe’re not gonna let that hap-pen,” Samargedlis said.

Norwood got by WestwoodPost 320, 10-7, in its seasonopener last Thursday. It thenwent out and annihilated Nor-folk Post 335 on Friday in a 17-1 final.

“We think we should winthat game, but 17-1 was nice,”Samargedlis said.

Unfortunately, the numbersweren’t high enough forNorwood to sponsor a JuniorLegion team this summer; how-ever, several 15-year-olds willbe playing up with Samargedlisas a result, in addition to on their

15-year-old Babe Ruth teamthat’s widely expected to goon a deep run within its dis-trict.

“I don’t really mind hav-ing the luxury of getting a kidwhen he’s 15 and being ableto mold him,” Samargedlissaid. “We did this one othertime, put the program on hia-tus for a year, but the numberswill kick back up next year.”

Dan Harrington, managerof the Post 70 Junior team,will be joining the staff ofSamargedlis for 2018.

Norwood’s schedule willbe in a state of flux untilWalpole, Franklin andMansfield are eliminated fromthe Super Eight, but Post 70will have played 18 regularseason games by the time allis said and done.

Norwood is scheduled tohost Walpole on Sunday nightat Balch Elementary School at7:30 p.m., but again, that willdepend on the status of theRebels in the Super Eight.Samargelis said it’s possiblehis team will face MedfieldPost 110 instead.


Bye bye, Bay State

Spring 2018 Bay State Conference All-Starsannounced, with softball leading the way

One last time, the Bay StateConference All-Stars are in forthe spring season at NorwoodHigh.

The list is headlined by thesoftball team, which was thelone team to qualify for its re-spective sectional tournamentthis spring.

Senior first baseman JanelleKelleher and junior catcherBryn Garczynski earned BSCAll-Stars while junior pitcherAmanda Olbrys earned an hon-orable mention.

Kelleher hit .510 (26 for 51)with 11 RBIs in the regular sea-son, all while playing GoldGlove-caliber defense at firstwith a .991 fielding percentage– she made just one error in 113opportunities. Kelleher will beapplying that same defensiveprowess next year the Univer-sity of Rhode Island, whereshe’ll be a member of thewomen’s ACHA hockey team.

Garczynski, the left-handedcatcher who hits leadoff, hit .543(31 for 57) with a homer and sixRBIs. Fully capable of playingany position in the diamond –particularly center field, accord-

With the Norwood Highsoftball team’s eliminationfrom the Division 2 South tour-nament, the book is officiallyclosed on the school’s tenure inthe Bay State Conference.

Beginning with the 2018-19school year in a few months, theMustangs will compete in theTri-Valley League in almost allsports – with only a few excep-tions based on the TVL notfully sponsoring a given sport.No need to fret, every sport cur-rently offered at Norwood Highwill continue to be offered withthe TVL move.

Just no longer in the BSC, aleague which Norwood hadcalled home since 1958.

The Mustangs will competein the TVL Large Division asopposed to the TVL Small Di-vision, neither grouping yet tobe renamed a la “Carey” and“Herget” or “Kelley-Rex and“Davenport” to signify the sixlargest and six smallest schoolsin terms of enrollment in theBSC and Hockomock League,respectively.

Norwood’s TVL Large foesinclude Hopkinton, Westwood,Medfield, Holliston andAshland. The TVL Small com-prises Medway, Bellingham,

ing to head coach Carol Savino– Garczynski will help the Mus-tangs transition into Tri-ValleyLeague play next spring, alongwith Olbrys.

Olbrys hurled 98 innings forNorwood in the regular season,striking out 96 batters to the tuneof a 2.93 earned run average. Atrue dual threat, Olbrys led theteam in batting average at .590(26 for 44) with a homer andfour RBIs.

In boys’ volleyball, seniorJake Fleming capped off his leg-endary career with the Mustangsby earning a Bay State Confer-ence All-Star nod – for the thirdyear in a row – to go along witheven more hardware for an al-ready-crowded trophy shelf.

Fleming was named to theMass. Boys’ High School Vol-leyball South District All-Starteam, where he earned the spotat Outside Hitter 1.

Senior Billy Mosca was anhonorable mention.

Fleming had 600 kills and 40aces this season, good enoughfor a kill percentage of 56.5 anda hitting percentage of 50. Hehad 40 kills in a single matchagainst Brookline this spring,setting a new school record inthe process. He’s bound for

Dedham, Norton, Dover-Sherborn and Millis.

Based on the 2017-18 en-rollment numbers, the gap be-tween Ashland – the smallestschool in the Large – and thenext four schools on the list –Medway, Bellingham, Dedhamand Norton – is only 31 stu-dents. There could be some fluxin enrollment there and as such,the divisional alignments willbe revisited after the 2019-20school year and again every twoyears.

The Mustangs got a jump

start on several of their new ri-valries throughout the 2017-18school year, most notably withNorton appearing on the sched-ule for many of Norwood’s ath-letic teams. Westwood, Ashlandand Bellingham made their wayonto various schedules as well– ditto for Dedham, whichneeds no re-introduction afterspending 58 years in the BayState Conference itself. TheMustangs also got a look at anearly look at Medfield in theboys’ hockey tournament.

During the 2017-18 school

year, Norwood’s recordagainst TVL schools was 20-20-1. Girls’ lacrosse had themost success, winning all fiveof its matchups against TVLschools (Bellingham andNorton twice, Dedham once).

Boys’ volleyball, girls’volleyball, girls’ basketball,boys’ cross-country, softballand boys’ soccer combined togo 7-0 against TVL oppo-nents, though all teams playedtwo games or fewer againstTVL schools.Football (0-4), boys’ bas-ketball (0-3)and girls’ ten-nis (0-2) werethe Norwoodprograms togo winless vs.the TVL withm u l t i p l eg a m e s /matches to gooff of.

It’s toosoon to say exactly whichschools from the BSC will re-main on various schedules forNorwood, but expect Walpoleto stick around on just aboutall of them. Football, for ex-ample, will open its seasonagainst the Rebels on Satur-day, Sept. 8. Boys’ hockey

will keep on both Walpole(1,132) and Milton (1,028),schools that from an enroll-ment standpoint are closeststill to Norwood.

Despite the gargantuan dif-ference in enrollment betweenNorwood and schools likeBrookline (2,080 students)and Weymouth (1,900), theMustangs combined to go 3-1against the schools in boys’volleyball this spring. Girls’basketball swept much-largerFramingham (2,177 – largest

in the BayState Con-f e r e n c e )over thew i n t e r ,while theboys’ bas-k e t b a l lt e a mearned itslone win ofthe seasonover theFlyers.

It’s entirely possible theMustangs will continue to getacquainted with some of thesmaller Hockomock schoolsin nonleague play – schoolsthat also make geographicsense to play – such asStoughton (1,099), Sharon(1,079), Canton (982) andFoxboro (806).

In boys’ tennis, the prolificfirst doubles team featuring SaiNedunchezhian and Finn Kelleypicked up honorable mentions.The duo went 9-7 this season forNorwood at first doubles, theonly one of its five varsity posi-tions (first, second and thirdsingles and first and seconddoubles) to finish with a win-ning record. They helped in-crease the win total for the Mus-tangs at doubles from twomatches in 2017 to a 16 thisspring.

Both players are back in thefold next year, as each studentis currently a junior.

While the baseball teammissed the postseason for thefirst time in nearly a decade, thefuture is bright thanks in part toplayers such as freshmanRobbie Wladkowski –Norwood’s lone honorable men-tion on the big diamond.Wladkowski, who’ll be a fixture
