Norwood Annual Craft Affair
Curtains Up! The new Norwood Theatre opened its doors Labor Day weekend.
One of the favorite fall shopping stops for Norwood residents is the Annual Craft Affair at Norwood. For over 20 years, crafters have set up tables in town and displayed their goods to the eager eyes (and wallets) of local consumers. This year promises not to disappoint.
Norwood Town Common resembled its own local version of Oscar night on the grand opening of the new Norwood Theatre August 31. The opening night gala coincided with the original theatre opening in 1927 which was proudly promoted on the front marquee. The private thank-you reception was black tie and Norwood residents, construction crews and their families, local officials and business owners pulled out no stops decked out in festive gowns and formal attire for the inaugural performance. Saturday, Sept. 1, the world famous Hal McIntyre Orchestra, directed by Don Pentleton, featuring a tribute to Sinatra, starring America's Number 1 Sinatra vocalist Steve Martin performed a complimentary recital to a full crown and Sunday, Sept. 2, families enjoyed two complimentary showings of the original 1964 Mary Poppins Movie, starring Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke. Norwood residents have patiently (and anxiously) waited and watched for over a year and half as owner Susan Lewis directed construction crews on the massive restoration. Architectural drawings were immediately prepared in hopes of an August, 2011 opening, but state regulations and safeguarding the theatre's historical integrity and magical
spirit, however, came at a price. Time. Lengthy waits for handicap permits, excavation of the basement for new bathrooms and the installation of a new geo thermal energy system delayed the opening act far beyond its originally scheduled opening.
The Regular Guys of Comedy will have the audience roaring in their seats on October 13. There are many plans and prospects for many acts and shows to be added to the program list, including communal opportunities for

On Saturday, October 20, from 9 a.m.-2:30 p.m., the Coakley Middle School (1315 Washington St., South Norwood), will host approximately 60 crafters to showcase their creative wares. Their goods will include, quilting, gift baskets, jewelry, pottery, hand-knit items, photography, soaps, holiday ornaments and giftware, painted slates, lampshade covers, stationery and so much more. There will also be numerous raffles, and opportunities for rest and replenishment from shopping with a bake sale and a breakfast and luncheon donated by local businesses. The Craft Affair was created by former Norwood High School teacher Paula Pelaggi as a fundraiser for the Norwood Post Prom Party. Because of its economical success, however, it has grown to not only aid its original

ELDC is a truly family-oriented practice, offering a full range of services to cover their patients' health needs, not just for today, but for a lifetime. ELDC is comprised of four doctors, each with their own definitive specialty, ranging from pediatrics to orthodontics, to adult restorative and cosmetic dentistry.

Needham Bank to renovate Main office on Great Plain Avenue
It's Apple Season! Enjoy the taste of Fall with our New England Apple Pie and Apple Crisp - hot from your own oven!
Construction in Needham to begin in September, with completion anticipated by summer of 2013. Needham Bank, with five branches throughout the greater Boston area, is slated to begin construction for the expansion of its main office, at 1063 Great Plain Av., in November. Completion of the 12,363 square foot complex is slated within a year. The estimated $4 million project will be carried out in three phases. During the first phase, Needham Bank, in partnership with the Town of Needham, will begin renovations on the Eaton Square parking lot. Construction of the lot is scheduled to begin in midSeptember. In order to accommodate construction of the parking lot, the entrance to Eaton Square (off of Great Plain Avenue) and the present 59-space Eaton Square parking lot will be temporarily closed. However, 30 permitted parking spaces will available for use. Those using the 30 permitted spaces will
be able to enter and exit the lot through Garden St., which will become a two-way access. This first phase of construction is estimated to take between four to six weeks. At which point, a total of 59 parking spaces will be available at the Eaton Square lot, with 20 reserved for Needham Bank customer use and 39 for town parking. Ultimately, upon completion of the estimated year-long Needham Bank reconstruction project, 126 parking spaces will be available, for use by the public and customers of the bank. The Eaton Square entrance will be converted to a new pedestrian walkway. The Main office renovation project will significantly expand the present building, estimated to be 80 years old. Main features of the new Needham Bank facility will include increased handicapped accessibility, major expansion of the Loan Department, and a free-

standing, drive-up ATM. The Bank will remain open throughout this entire project with directions for entry clearly visible during the construction phase. However, customers are welcome to visit other near-by branches in Wellesley, Dedham, Westwood or Medfield or take advantage of the Bank’s many online and mobile banking services during this time. “We’re excited that work on our new state-of-the-art full-service facility is about to begin,” said Jack McGeorge, CEO and Chairman of the Board of Needham Bank. “In addition to the benefits that this construction will bring to the bank and our customers, we are very pleased to be able to give something back to the town, through additional spaces in the Eaton Square lot, and with a new pedestrian walkway that will add convenience and aesthetics to the area.”

beneficiary, it also provides donations to numerous Norwood school organizations. In addition to its attractive attendance figures, crafters enroll in the Norwood craft fair because the affair is truly a community event. Norwood students and athletes help prepare the gym and set up tables and assist crafters carrying their items inside, serving lunch and providing breaks. They also help out in the kitchen, run the raffle and bake sale tables and if anything is left at the end of the day, help vendors carry their things back to their cars. Any student that helps at the Craft Affair is eligible to apply for funds for their organization from the day's proceeds. Past organizations have included, Norwood sports teams, the drama club, cheerleaders, SAAD (Students Against Destructive Decisions), the fine arts department after school programs. What is considered a premier craft fair in the area, the Craft Affair at Norwood sees an average of 1,800 customers walk through the door, while in years during a stronger economy, as many as 3,000 to 4,000 have bought tickets. With that kind of popularity, the craft fair is considered the largest Norwood High School fundraiser and is typically able to typically donate $2,000 to the post prom party committee and up to $300 for each school organization that applies. Tickets are $3 for adults, and $2 for seniors and children under 12 and are available at the door the day of the event. Stop by for breakfast or lunch, purchase some beautiful items, maybe some holiday gifts and help support Norwood schools.

Norwood Bank Donates $5000 to Norwood Housing Rehab Program Norwood Bank has donated $5000 to the Norwood Housing Rehab Program. This program has been administered by the Planning Department since 2004. Since that time 37 homes have been rehabbed including 4 emergency projects. The program is funded by
a Community Development Block Grant which originates from HUD and is awarded by the State’s Department of Housing and Community Development through a competitive grant application process. The program assists homeowners who meet location
and income requirements by providing them with the necessary funds to improve their living conditions. Funds are used to repair code violations and improve energy efficiency. Some of the most common projects include roof repairs, updating of electrical

it’s delivered in a setting that feels nothing like a typical gym; Koko FitClub is a fitness oasis.
Koko FitClub is Changing Lives in Mansfield, Plainville and Walpole
If you’re one of that huge group of people, who would love to be fit but have not found a fitness solution that works for you, it’s time to visit Koko FitClub.
mansfield residents andy and christine Johnston are excited about bringing Koko Fitclub to mansfield, Plainville and Walpole. Koko Fitclub is revolutionizing the fitness industry and helping thousands of americans achieve their fitness goals.
How Smartraining Works, By Michael Wood, CSCS, Chief Fitness Officer Koko Strength Training is different than traditional weight-lifting. It’s “circuit-based” strength training. Rather than working one muscle at a time and resting between sets, circuit training works multiple muscle groups on every exercise and eliminates the “resting phase” by having you work opposing muscle groups during that time. It’s highly efficient and very effective. With Koko, it’s all customized specifically to your individual strength level, adapting each day to your progress to increase effectiveness and eliminate boredom. Personally, I see the difference Koko Smartraining makes every day. As an exercise physiologist at Tufts Research Center on Aging, I helped conduct comprehensive studies on the
“We are incredibly passionate about bringing Koko to the area,” says christine. “as busy parents, we struggled to find a fitness solution. We needed efficiency, affordability, and real results, on our own schedule. Koko delivers all of those things! once we found it, we knew we needed to share it with others.” Koko FitClub is the “Future of Fitness” Koko FitClub is the world’s first and only automated personal training stu-
dio. Developed with assistance from the founding director of the MIT Center for Sports Innovation, Koko provides members with a fast and effective workout that helps them reach their fitness goals without having to turn their lives upside down. It is like having a world-class personal trainer coaching you every time you exercise – making sure you’re always doing precisely the right exercise, the right way, at the right pace, for the best possible results. Why choose Koko FitClub If you love the idea of a personal trainer coaching you through every step of your workouts as you move closer to your goal of a lifetime of health and fitness…then you’ll love
Koko. Koko provides the same service but without the scheduling hassles and expense of hiring a personal trainer. By combining the latest in computer technology with workouts and training plans designed by nationally recognized trainers – including Michael Wood, Kathy Kaehler and Rob Parr – Koko FitClub has created a revolutionary approach to achieving and maintaining physical fitness. Each workout is precisely customized to your body and your strength level. And, Koko tracks all of your results on your personal Koko key and automatically adapts each new session based on your previous progress. All of the thinking is done for you! And,
Page 11 impact of various exercise methods on different populations. At Tufts, we viewed an 8%-10% strength gain in eight weeks from participants as “effective”. A 10%-15% gain was considered “outstanding”. At Koko, our average member achieves a 19% strength gain in their first 8 week program! That number increases to 25% after two programs and 33% after three! The numbers say it all. Koko works. And in just 30-minutes, three times per week, it works into our members’ busy lives as well. With Koko Cardio Interval Training, we automatically manipulate the proper balance of workout intensity and recovery in short durations. The result is you get the same calorie burn of steady-state cardio, but in half the time! That’s right, 15 minutes of Koko Cardio is like 30 minutes or more of traditional cardio. Koko Cardio acts like your personal coach; motivating you and manipulating your intensity every step of the way to keep you motivated and engaged. How you can get started? Contact or visit any of our local Koko FitClubs to schedule a complimentary session!

Sweet Treats for Halloween Halloween is a time for costumes and candy. Americans spend roughly $6 billion per year on Halloween candy. After Christmas, Halloween is the country's second-biggest commercial holiday.
• Chocolate lollipops: All it takes is a mold, heating device and some chocolate candy melts to make delicious and eye-catching homemade lollipops. A visit to the craft store will probably yield all of the ingredients you need. Some kits feature squirt bottles that can be filled with chocolate, heated in the microwave and then easily squirted into the candy molds.
Although many people like the convenience of buying bags of pre-made candy, they will not have control over the amount of sugar or the other ingredients that are being put into these confections. This Halloween, celebrants may want to make their own sweet treats to hand out or share at Halloween festivities.
• Cake pops: A revolution in dessert, cake pops can be made in two ways. The first method is baking a cake and then crumbling it up into a bowl. Then a container of cake frosting is added, making the mixture moldable. The mixture is then formed into balls, which are put on lollipop sticks and dipped into melted chocolate. The

second cake pop method is to purchase pans or special waffle-iron-type devices that turn batter into balls while cooking. Then the cake balls are put on sticks and covered in frosting or chocolate. • Candied fruit: Caramel-covered apples are an autumn tradition, but you also can dip bananas into chocolate or pieces of pineapple for a pseudo-healthy treat. • Chocolate bark: Create a healthy and delicious mixture of ingredients by melting dark chocolate and adding in nuts, dried cranberries, raisins, sunflower seeds, or anything else you can think off. Pour the mixture on a piece of waxed paper and allow to harden in the refrigerator. Then cut into chunks and enjoy.

Living Healthy Everything You (Didn't) Know About Headaches CONTRIBUTED BY JOHN VACOVEC, OWNER AND THERAPIST OF PHYSICAL THERAPY AND SPORTS REHAB, INC. The common response to a headache is "Let me pop a painkiller and hope the pain goes away". While this isn't necessarily a bad idea, it's not a long-term solution for headaches, particularly the ones that that have a musculoskeletal origin. Most patients are unaware that physical therapy can play an important role in the treatment of headaches. Did you know that a physical therapist can evaluate symptoms and create a plan to reduce headache by restoring muscle balance? With certain types of headache, this has the potential to reduce or even eliminate the need for medication. For example, did you know that strengthening of the muscles surrounding the neck and jaw helps in the treatment of headache? It’s true; physical therapy can restore balance and relieve strain on muscles and joints in the head and neck region.
The prescription of a home exercise program to improve posture and movement patterns can be another part of the treatment process. Unknown to most patients, poor posture contributes to head and neck pain. Depending on the severity of your headache, physical therapy can be a valuable adjunct to medications prescribed by a physician. While medications help control the pain of headache, a regimen of physical therapy improves the body's inherent ability to fight factors that trigger headaches.
joints in the upper back, neck and shoulder are under stress, they become inflamed and cause pain. Due to the complex and interconnected network of nerves and blood vessels in the upper body, this pain often spreads upwards, triggering a headache or a debilitating migraine. This is exactly where a physical therapist can help. With a precise combination of exercises, manual therapy and relaxation techniques, the therapist can facilitate pain relief. If you've been suffering from headaches, a viable, drug free option is available to you. You don't have to live with pain any longer because physical therapy is a viable, scientific treatment option.
Physical Therapy and Referred Pain One of the causes of headache is referred pain (from other parts of the body). When the muscles and
After a complete evaluation, the physical therapist may decide to use manual therapy, which includes joint mobilizations and massage to provide welcome relief to overworked tissues. The result is relief from the pain of headache and a smile on your face. A migraine is a severe headache that may require medical attention. It is a disorder of the central nervous system involving blood vessels and nerves, resulting in intense pain. Once the cause of the migraine has been identified and treated by a physician, a physical therapist can facilitate a quick recovery to help the patient resume a normal, healthy life. Pain Relief at the Source One of the objectives of physical therapy intervention is adjustment of soft tissues and correction of mechanical dysfunction associated with the headache. There are several ways that a physical therapist can help achieve this. If sensitive tissues (blood vessels, nerves) in the neck are compressed, the physical therapist can use mechanical or manual traction procedures to facilitate decompression, improve circulation and relieve pressure around the affected tissues.
Just call us and we’ll get you started. We'll do everything we can to put that smile back on your face. Physical Therapy and Sports Rehab. Inc has 2 convenient locations. Call our Norwood office (at

All Signs Point to Norwood for a Growing Manufacturing Company SAK Environmental recently provided a wide range of environmental services to Steel Art, a premium architectural sign manufacturer, who moved from their Allston location, to a larger, 50,000 sq. ft. building in Norwood. The Steel Art Company, who has been manufacturing premium quality architectural signage, metal letters and logotypes for the sign trade since 1952 in their 15,000 sq. ft. Allston facility, was looking to expand into larger quarters. SAK’s work including Phase I and II environmental site assessments; building assessment; securing environmental operating permits for manufacturing operations; and implementation
of a new health and safety program for the new facility. “SAK Environmental’s responsiveness in providing the required technical assessments and testing was instrumental in helping us to complete the move to the new facility on schedule,” said Steel Art’s Vice President Stew Dobson, “SAK has been helping us with periodic environmental compliance at our Allston facility, and it was a natural progression to turn to them for assessment and permitting at the new property.” The new property is located on Dean Street.

ufacturers and there was documentation of oil and chemical use. The site’s industrial history required the soil and groundwater at the site to be assessed for petroleum and hazardous chemical to assure there was no significant contamination at the site prior to purchase and occupancy. The subsurface investigation, which included the installation and testing of several soil borings and groundwater monitoring wells, resulted in no findings of any contamination above MA DEP allowable levels. A hazardous materials survey for lead and asbestos was also conducted in the building and limited asbestoscontaining roofing materials were removed and properly disposed of as part of Steel Art’s renovation of their new home. SAK also conducted the USEPA and MADEP filings for environmental operating permits, including air, hazardous waste, storm water, wastewater, and toxics use filings, for their manufacturing processes and materials storage at their new facility.
“The SAK team is pleased to assist Steel Art with their vision of relocating to a larger, state-of-theart facility that allows them to continue growing their specialized manufacturing firm here in Massachusetts. The services we provided are consistent with our goal of environmentally sustainable reuse of underutilized properties. We wish Steel Art continued success in their new location,” says Maureen Sakakeeny, Principal, SAK Environmental.

mental permitting and compliance throughout Massachusetts, Southern New Hampshire, and New York.

PET CORNER The BIG CAT Adoption Edition Meet “Worthy” aka Grizzle This cat is truly a “Big Boy”. Grizzle’s was named after a grizzly bear as he has the biggest double front paws and large frame you can imagine without being overweight. He is long haired, and walks like a small grizzly bear. He has lived outside with stray and feral cats for quite some time and the neighborhood welcomed him. However no one was willing to care for his medical needs. BSAC supplied flea treatment, vaccines and neutered this cat until it was evident that the commitment from any single person within this community was not enough for this “Worthy” cat. After a dental cleaning, including extractions, the cat we named Worthy was taken into foster care. Subsequently, Worthy aka Grizzle, tested positive for Feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) which can not be transmit-
ted to humans and is not typically fatal for cats. Since it is transmitted primarily via deep bite wounds and scratches, living with other cats is highly possible for this mild mannered BIG BOY. We feel a family would be LUCKY to have this lovable, affectionate, BIG BOY as part of their family mix.
Got Fleas? Ya. They are everywhere. As with many of you, shelters and rescue groups battle the flea problem annually. Surrendered cats, stray cats and feral cats are all invaded by fleas that naturally exist. Fleas are outdoors and unfortunately come indoors on us and our animals and infest our homes and animals. There are many ways to battle these creatures from “Krypton”, as one of our dedicated foster volunteers has called them, but throwing a beloved indoor pet outside to fend for itself because of this problem is NOT an acceptable treatment. All pets should be flea treated by veterinary recommended products monthly during flea season
whether they go out or not. Look for signs of itching, hair loss and licking of fur as indications that your pet may be battling the flea invasion. Many pets are seriously allergic to fleas and one flea can cause major skin irritations and discomfort to your pet. Uncontrolled flea infestation can and does lead to death in owned pets, and stray and feral cats and kittens each season due to anemia related conditions. Feel free to contact us for recommendations of a variety of flea products for your pet and home based on our experiences with these “Super Pests”.
Professional Volunteers are desperately needed to further our endeavors Fundraising Professionals Advertising Professionals Database Professionals Carpenters and Handy-persons Please consider donating your time and skills Email: info@baystateanimals.org to get involved Meet “Ralph” and his Big Brother “Norton” These two boys BIG grey tiger kitties are seeking a new home. Ralph and Norton are neutered 3.5 year olds. They would not be comfortable in a shelter/cage environment so we are hoping to find them homes directly out of their current home. The owner can no longer care for them. Ralph was less flustered by outside visitors but Norton chose to hide and observe from afar, coming out to inspect our volunteer when met at their home. Both boys are very “BIG BOYS” exceeding 15lbs each. They enjoy each others company also. They are the kind of cats that hang out together and just look for a quiet spot in the sun. We feel it is in the best interest of Norton to be adopted together though Ralph
Coyote and Predator Alert Once again the lost cat signs can be scene throughout the communities we live in. This is usually an indication that beloved owned cats are being taken by predators that also live among us. We can not reiterate enough to keep your beloved cats indoors. If you want ideas and suggestions on how to make your outdoor cat a safe indoor cat please email us for assistance. We can not tell you how many friends and people we meet who say their cat stays in the yard or is in every night that later tell us that one night the cat did not come home or drifted further than the yard and never returned. PLEASE keep you cats safe, they rely on US.

Hurray for Norwood Day! When Norwood residents awoke on Saturday, Sept. 15, they were likely a little concerned. The sky was cloudy, there was a mist in the air and it appeared that the sun had taken a late summer vacation day. Didn't Mother Nature know that it was Norwood Day? Well, apparently she did, because just as the booths were opening, the grills were ignited and the rides plugged in, sunshine was making its way through the clouds and a bright, festive day was on the horizon. Downtown Norwood quickly filled with local residents (and many from surrounding towns) to check out the booths that lined Washington St. and kids starting
to gather and proudly display their Norwood Day buttons for a chance to ride on many of the kiddie rides or climb the rock wall. Music was almost continually playing from the bandstand at the intersection at Walpole St. and close to noon, lines began to form under the large tents on the Town Common as neighborhood restaurants began serving lunch.
teens look forward to each year. It's a day that friends and neighbors can explore downtown retailing, connect with local organizations and sample the delicious food from area restaurants. It is also an oldfashioned event where the town comes together and residents can walk down the street, spot familiar faces, meet new friends and witness what makes this town so special.
Other events that drew a lot of attention and participation included pony rides, the Home Depot woodworking benches and the short family film and tours at the Norwood Theatre. Now in its tenth year, Norwood Day has become a community tradition that children, adults and

2012 Norwood TONY Award Recipient: Anu Ravi The Norwood TONY (Ten Outstanding Norwood Youths) Awards were initiated over 40 years ago to recognize exceptional Norwood youths for their voluntary contributions to the community. Through anonymous reviews of the student's volunteer record and a 300-word essay, the Norwood Masons, who acquired the program 17 years ago, named the 2012 TONY Award winners at a banquet held January 30. The award includes a citation from Governor Patrick, a plaque from the lodge, a $1,000 savings bond and a gift card from Perk's coffeehouse. Two supplementary awards also included an additional $500 savings bond.
Recent Norwood High School graduate Anu Ravi just began her pre-med studies at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst in September, but her introduction and preamble into medicine actually began four years ago. Since 2008, Ravi has clocked in 500 hours of volunteer work at Norwood Hospital in departments ranging from radiology to the nursing units. "I really wanted to see if I wanted to go into the medical field at the beginning of 9th grade," Ravi said. "I really liked it so I continued doing it. Going into the 11th grade, I knew this is the field for me." Ravi rotated her efforts throughout the hospital, and while providing valuable assistance to various units she was also able to assemble
a personal foundation for her education and her future.
I just went in there whenever I could and eventually worked there," Ravi said. I liked everything about the library."
I visited all over the hospital," Ravi said. "I did paperwork for radiology, the nursing area, delivered stuff from labs and a shadow program for the radiology department. I got to see different doctors doing different things so I really thought this is for me." Between her time at Norwood Hospital and her schoolwork, Ravi still managed to fit another passion into her volunteering schedule. Since grade school Ravi paid almost daily visits to the Morrill Memorial Library, and eventually it seemed only natural when a librarian asked if she had any interest in helping out on Saturdays. Ravi was enthused to share her love of books with younger library patrons and for the next few years spent a lot of her time at the children's
desk, assisting customers and helping kids in the crafts room. She ultimately accepted a part-time job at the library, but still continues to volunteer whenever she can.

At Norwood High School, Ravi excelled in math and science programs and earned membership into the national honor society in both departments and shared her knowledge tutoring fellow students. Ravi was also a member of the French and Friendship Clubs and participated in various community programs, such as Norwood Day and scooping ice cream at Bird Park in Walpole. Ravi remembers liking science for as long as she can remember. She fondly recalls her ninth grade biology teacher, Mrs. Hareiman, as an exceptional motivator and skilled at engaging her students in the field of science. From that early experience, and an internship at Biogen Idec this past summer targeted to get kids excited about bio technology, Ravi is leaning towards scientific research as a career. She taught the subject really well and made it so I really wanted to learn more," Ravi said."Some people say it might be boring being in a lab every day, but I thought it was exciting."

Door to Open at Terrace Cafe By PaTriCk COLEMan Last month, the transformation from an ice cream shop to a restaurant was completed as the doors to The Terrace Cafe opened. It has been anything but an overnight change. Gone are the ice cream freezers that housed treats served by Tootsie's Ice Cream, the former occupant of 36 South St. They're now replaced with a full bar. The black and white checkered floor which fit Tootsie's 50's style decor has been replaced with dark wood floors which now compliment the updated look of the downtown eatery. The space also lacked an important feature every cafe needs -- a kitchen. So the new owner had to build one from scratch. "It has been a long process," says Nancy Lockwood, owner of The Terrace Cafe. "We've done most of the work ourselves." Lockwood, a longtime Wrentham resident, is opening the cafe with her son Josh Walker, a veteran of the war in Afghanistan. The two, along
with friends, have been working on getting the place just right. The renovation started in January, and it wasn't until now that she felt the place was ready to open. "You only get one chance to make a first impression," she says. The restaurant will run seven days a week from 7 a.m. to midnight serving breakfast, lunch and dinner and offer a full bar. The menu will feature a variety of items from crêpes to specialty sandwiches and a selection of salads. In the fall there will be an offering of soups, and there will be a gluten free menu as well. People have the option of dining in the newly renovated space or out on the patio. "People will be able to eat out here and listen to the Concerts on the Common," Lockwood says. The Terrace Cafe will also host live music in the style of James Taylor with some jazz performances on the weekend. Inside the restaurant, the artwork of two different local artists will be on display each month and patrons
may purchase the art. The proceeds go directly to the artists. The patio is available for private parties and Lockwood plans to hold beer and wine tastings. Another feature of The Terrace Cafe will be its support of the Wounded Warrior Project. On certain nights, the profits from Budweiser sales will be donated directly to the charity with the mission of helping wounded service members. "It's very important to us," Lockwood says. "Very important." Lockwood, a former social worker, got her experience in the restaurant business by running a small retail bakery on the Cape that featured the baked goods of Modern Pastry in Boston. The Terrace Cafe will feature the same baked goods. The downtown has changed significantly over the past year. Marcia's Sweet Pantry closed its door, and Bambi's vive le chic closed its retail shop as well. Tootsie's remains but has moved down a few doors into a smaller location. Despite being the new

kid on the block, the downtown business owners have welcomed Lockwood and her son with open arms. "People on the block have been fantastic," she says.
"They stop by and ask if there is anything they can do to help." (This article originally appeared in The Wrentham Times, www.wrenthamtimes.com)

St. Catherine of Siena School Students Showcase iPad Expertise At Norwood Day 2012 Norwood Day 2012, an annual mid-September event in the town of Norwood, provided an opportunity for middle school students from Saint Catherine of Siena School in Norwood to show off some newly-acquired skills and to give on the spot demonstrations to interested bystanders on how iPad technology is changing education at their Catholic elementary school. Students showed onlookers the ways in which they use iPads as a tool for learning. A range of applicatons are actively used daily by students for class work and homework as well as to communicate, collaborate, link to assignments and tutorials, take notes, organize their schedules, and do research in all subjects. The Administrative team decided
to use Norwood Day as a way to showcase the iPad Initiative at St. Catherine of Siena School and other new learning experiences at the school, particularly new science and math rooms at the elementary level and a content-rich Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten curriculum. As one teacher at Saint Catherine’s explained: “We realized that it fit into the model of what we could do, what we needed, and the desire to do something innovative and excellent in the pursuit of being the best elementary school in the Archdiocese. This 1-on-1 initiative is student centric, interactive and engaging, while creating collaborative education for 21st century learning.� A parent at St. Catherine’s recently stated, “It is amazing that the students will get a chance to use this technology for
learning more about today’s world in an instant – something the rest of us (older generations) never had a chance to experience.� The students themselves are excited about using the iPads for their homework and research projects. One student told us, “I know the power of technology and I'm looking forward to the new learning experience at Saint Catherine's.� The Pre-K through Grade 8 school in Norwood, MA is the first Middle School in the Archdiocese of Boston to use this new technology. The principal, in her latest press release commented, “Catholic schools have always viewed academic excellence as an expression of Catholic faith and values. By having our students and teachers use iPads for teaching and learning, we expect them to develop deeper learning and a greater facil-

Grandparent’s Day Brings ‘Big Smiles’ to Victoria Haven Sunday, September 9, was a very special day. For many residents at Victoria Haven Rehabilitation and Skilled Nursing Facility, it was Grandparent’s Day. Family members and friends celebrated during a lovely brunch party. Children of residents listened to favorite stories of the past and shared their current accomplishments of the grandchildren in tow. Entertainers Victoria and Jake of Big Smile sang favorite tunes and encouraged all to dance. Kids of all ages visited with facial artist Virginia who painted intricate butterflies and small pumpkins off the vine.
The brunch buffet rivaled any of Norwood’s Sunday brunch restaurants. Beginning with bacon and eggs, it was a challenge to have a little bit of everything on the plate. Delicious turkey, homemade meatballs, lasagna, confetti rice and scalloped potatoes were some of the selections offered. Dessert was a mixture of healthy and sweet with fresh sliced fruit and fresh baked cookies. The staff at Victoria Haven welcomes special occasions like Grandparent’s Day to visit with the families that residents fondly talk about during every day. It is a chance to connect, share the work their achievements and hard work and appreciate their families.

WinSmith Mill Market - The Revitalization of the Historic Winslow Brothers Tannery BY DORIS J. DICKSON If you have not done so, take a short trip down Walpole Street to visit the reformation of a piece of Norwood history – the Norwood Commerce Center on Endicott Street. In years gone by, the area was the home of the Winslow and Smith Brothers tannery. Today, it is a revitalized set of mill buildings, a section of which is appropriately devoted to warehouses filled with antique, vintage and repurposed furniture, accessories, tools, “doohickeys,” etc. Another section houses artist lofts. The remaining portions house manufacturing and commercial businesses. The History The history of the tannery is rich and includes many of the town’s well-known families for which our buildings, parks and streets are named. As many of the businesses that have come and gone over the years, it tells the story of
who the people were, where they came from, how hard working they were and how much they cared about their town. It begins in 1776 when Abner Guild built the original tannery – described as “small.” That “small” business became one of the longest, continuously operating businesses in the history Norwood (originally part of South Dedham and often-called Tiot). In 1791, Abner took John Smith, at age seven, as an apprentice in the tanning trade - converting rawhide into leather. After years of mentoring, Smith eventually became Guild’s successor. Smith repeated the process with George Winslow who, after serving his apprenticeship at John Guild’s (a relation of Abner) tannery in Roxbury, came to work under Smith. He subsequently married Smith’s daughter, Olive, and eventually a partnership between John Smith and George Winslow formed the

George also became fast friends with his Smith’s son, Lyman who with his wife, Melinda had two sons, John and Charles and a daughter, Anna. George and Olive had five sons and a daughter, Elisha, George, Alfred, John Martin, Francis, and Henrietta. In 1843, John Smith signed over the deed to the tannery to Lyman and George Winslow (some 20 years after he had begun working at the tannery). He deeded half the property on which the tannery sits to each of them with the dividing line through the center of the main building. His hope was that the partnership would withstand the test of time. At this point, the business had expanded and on top of converting rawhide to leather, it operated finishing shops subsequently cutting out the middleman with the various trades that worked with the finished product. George was

considered the “leader” and Lyman the “man’s man who lived to work.” The partnership thrived. However, in 1852, due to competition between Lyman’s sons and the Winslow brothers (in number an uneven partnership), the union dissolved. The Winslows remained in the original location and renamed their firm George Winslow & Sons. The Smiths built on Railroad Ave (where XX now stands) and called it Lyman Smith & Sons. Although George died in 1877 and Lyman in 1883, both companies continued to grow steadily with each employing more than 100 men. (In fact, the Winslow Brothers tannery employed 150 men in 1890 and 275 men in 1894.) In the late nineties, wool pulling and scouring were added to the other activities performed. Francis (the youngest of the Winslow children) married Martha and had two daughters, Clara and Edith. In 1893, Edith wed George Willett from Walpole. In 1895, George Willett acquired controlling interest in the tannery. Shortly after the WillettWinslow wedding, Frank Allen (from Lynn) entered the picture and in 1897, he and Clara wed. In 1901, George Willett and Edward Mills secured Lyman Smith’s Sons (its new name after Lyman Smith’s death) and con-
solidated the two companies into Winslow Brothers and Smith Company. Allen, who became a close and trusted advisor to Willett, eventually became president and chairman of the board. After continued growth (at one time the largest handler of sheepskin in the world) and mergers with other leather companies, in 1928 Frank Allen, as president, merged Winslow & Smith Brothers with Eastern Leather Company. Around World War II, the firm saw diminishing need for its product as well as increased operational and raw materials costs. With labor conflicts between workers and owners in 1933, 1938 and 1949, first the Railroad Avenue facility closed and in 1952, the original facility ceased operation. The Railroad Avenue buildings were demolished; those on Endicott Street were occupied by several businesses. The property was eventually divided into approximately 13 acres and 23 acres. For many years, Zimble Drum owned the 13-acre lot, which has been unoccupied since approximately 2002. For a period, Atlantic Properties owned the 23-acre lot.

Norwood High School Sees Record Number of Athletes This Year BY
CHRISTOPHER TREMBLAY
With their new high school just about complete, Norwood is hoping to put up some impressive numbers in the winlose column to inaugurate the facilities this coming school season. “We generally have good teams,” Norwood High School Athletic Director Brian McDonough said. “I’m particularly satisfied with the number of students participating in sports. We have well 400 athletes, by far the best I’ve since in ten years.” A high number of this year’s athletes are coming from the incoming freshman class, something the AD attributes to the brand new school.
u d o r t In
“There is a big freshman class entering the high school this fall and they all want to play in this nice new facility,” McDonough said. Although facilities within the school and a majority of the fields are play-ready, Norwood is still working on the front field where the field hockey team competes. For approximately another year or two. teams that use this field will be forced to play elsewhere, but McDonough is working diligently on getting all those teams at least two games on the new football field. “Instead of having them play away from the school we are trying to get them each a few home games,” the Norwood AD
said. “It’s not the same when you play on the road, a home game allows you to draw our fans and give us that home game feeling. Athletes like to play in front of their friends as well as the rest of the hometown crowd.” Having a turf football field may be something new to Norwood but it’s nothing the Mustang athletes haven’t seen in the past. Playing in the Bay State Conference, a good number of the schools have artificial turf so Norwood is used to playing on the faster surface. One other minor incident that McDonough is working on is the lack of lights on the field. “We only have about three hours before the darkness starts to set in,” McDonough said. “I’m trying to move games around, push practices back and do a little creative scheduling so that we can get the games in on the new field.”
Norwood High School Cross Country Team Faced Two Tough Teams In Opening Meets The Norwood High School Cross Country teams opened up its 2012 season against two of the strongest teams in the Bay State Conference, Walpole and Brookline. Both the boys and girls teams unfortunately came up short handed (boys 15- 50 and 15- 50) (girls 15-50 to Brookline and 15-40 Walpole). But it's a long season and the Mustang's are ready to give it their all. In the boys race, John Maloney was the first Norwood runner to cross the finish line with a time of 19:43. J.J. O'Donnell was right behind with a time of 19:47 and Freshmen Josh Acero and Clifton Clark competed in their first varsity
meet taking 3rd and 4th respectively. George Meltzer finished in the 5th spot for the Mustangs with a time of 21:23 The girls team had Norwood's only senior, Kelsey Colbert, take the number 1 spot for the Mustangs with a time of 22:14. Alana Keady was number two for the Mustangs with a time of 22:45, followed by Sam Baturin, Devon Bartlett, Hallie Miller, and Nency Sangani Norwood has a very young team with some good numbers competing in the JV meet. Go Mustangs!

Revitalization In 1985, the property became the Norwood Commerce Center (a limited partnership) of the 23acre lot. Manufacturing and commercial entities have occupied the property. Gerry Gillis, one of the partners, came out of retirement to help turn around the property which currently includes 15 buildings and some 300,000 square feet. In the fall of 2011, Gerry hired Rich Bruno as property manager. Since the property had become a
dumping ground, one of his first priorities was cleanup. Rich and his team (including a 30-hour a week groundskeeper) have hauled out twenty-five 30-yard dumpsters of scrap and trash. With the addition of gates, signage and an increase in police presence, according to Rich, the dumping has decreased dramatically. The various state and federal environmental agencies inspect the property for compliance regularly including a few weeks ago. The “cap” is checked annually to ensure its seal remains intact and there are no leaks.

Inside the buildings, the individual units are cleared, one-by-one, of refuse left behind from previous tenants, teenagers, squatters, etc. The walls are painted, bathrooms and windows repaired, exit signs and fire extinguishers added (all to code). As was the case in its hay day, there is one central source of heat for all of the buildings. The small pump house abutting the pond is also being spruced up and repurposed with hand painted murals on the exterior and a soon to be installed decorative water wheel. The hope is to use the
building as a café to serve tenants and visitors. Today’s Vision During the last year, a vision formed. According to property manager, Rich Bruno, it started out as a “limited warehouse opportunity for people who are storing their goods” on the internet. Original tenants included as ReMARKable Estate Clean Outs (which also has a retail store on Washington Street) owned by Mark Waters, Ramblin Rose Cottage owned by Sheryl Elliot and soon after, Old Bean Antiques owned by Christine Malmquist.
October 1. 2012 It is a “safe place,” a “neutral place,” other than their homes, that buyers can view merchandise prior to purchasing. Since the first three vendors moved in, the vision has grown to build an “antique village” for, currently, some 11 vendors. This has resulted in a decrease in the vacancy rate from 40% to 25% since late last year. Contrary to rumors spread earlier this year, Rich Bruno says, “There are absolutely no plans to sell the Norwood Commerce Center to any developers.” In fact, by the time this article is printed, a meeting will have been held to discuss awarding a special retail permit for the property. The intent is that the vendors will open Friday, Saturday, and Sunday to provide one-stop antique shopping not currently available in the area – a far cry from the days of squatters, teenage parties, trash disposal and high vacancy rates of years gone by. Limited partner, Gerry Gillis says, “An excellent turnaround since last October.” The spaces – they are as unique as the vendors. Some of the spaces feature brick walls; some are painted wood. Some of the floors are painted cement, others hardwood. The windows are large; the ceilings are tall. Some of the vendors offer space for smaller vendors. Others sell all their own products. Some offer antiques; others offer repurposed items and still another that offers items ready to be repurposed. The vendors currently include ReMARKable Closeouts, Ramblin Rose, Old Bean Antiques, Vintage Thymes, Vintage Peacock, Attitudes Boutique, Posh Market, Gallery Two, Blue Bird Studios, W.G. Holding Co., and G.T. Vintage.

Resource Officers BY DORIS J. DICKSON The Norwood Local Town Pages is proud to announce, thanks to Chief Brooks, that beginning this month we will introduce readers to a different facet of the goings on at the Norwood Police Department. We thought it would be a good opportunity to continue Chief Brooks’ “spirit of candor.” If there are any topics, you would like the Chief and his team to address, please contact us at Norwood Local Town Pages. Up Close with Norwood’s School Resource Officers Please meet the Norwood schools’ two resource officers. At the high school is Paul Murphy, a 25-year veteran patrol officer. Officer Murphy is also the town’s Safety Officer. At the middle school, replacing Detective Paul Ryan, is James Mahoney who has been a police officer for 12 years. According to Chief Brooks, Officer Mahoney does a “terrific job,” was a “natural selection” and was selected unanimously by the command staff to take over for Detective Ryan at the middle school. Both officers have children in the Norwood school system and feel it is a great advantage that they know kids through their own children. Between the two, they and their families are involved in hockey, dance, baseball, and football. Of-

When asked what they see as their main responsibilities, Officer Mahoney said they are “not there for discipline.” The schools are very good at discipline and the officers normally do not intervene in such instances. They are there to “educate, serve as counselors, and for the safety of students and staff.” Students at the high school are often referred by the deans to Officer Murphy. The principals seek assistance for "understanding the fine line in the law." According to Officers Mahoney and Murphy, the two most prominent issues are bullying and alcohol and drug use prevention. Officer Mahoney first discusses both issues in fifth-grade health education class. Regarding bullying, Officer Mahoney says, “if I don’t seek help, I’m not going to get help” thus, kids are taught as early as the fifth grade health class to report. Students may report incidents in person, using a printed form, or with the electric anonymous bullying reporting forms on the school’s website. Those who bully should know today’s social media age means there is “evidence” where twenty years ago, there was not. Text messages and emails are “ammunition to go after them criminally.”
The second concern is alcohol and drug use and its prevention. According to Officer Murphy, “kids are smoking pot before drinking alcohol.” Due to mounting evidence and statistics of the result of early alcohol and marijuana use on the brain, “the longer they wait to introduce alcohol, the better off they are.” According to the Office of National Drug Policy Control (ONDCP), “Marijuana and other illicit drugs are addictive and unsafe especially for use by young people.” “Drug addiction is a progressive disease and the earlier one starts, the more likely are the chances of developing a substance use disorder.” “Marijuana contains chemicals that can change how the brain works. And the science, though still evolving in terms of long-term consequences of marijuana use, is clear: marijuana use is associated with addiction, respiratory and mental illness, poor motor performance, and cognitive impairment, among other negative effects.” Officer Murphy says, “I understand it is not easy being a teenager.” He is disappointed when he thinks “a kid gets it and they find out otherwise.” Therefore, he asks kids to please, “Think about things before you do them.” You may contact Office Mahoney at (781) 440-5127 or by email at jmahoney@norwoodma.gov or Officer Murphy at (781) 440-5128 or by email at pmurphy@norwoodma.gov.

The message Officers Murphy and Mahoney want to send is that “no kid should have to dread going to school,” “there is someone they

For Eyes
brand spanking new pair of glasses down the toilet.
I’ve worn glasses for most of my life. I’m sure I was supposed to be wearing them my whole life but I don’t like them. Never have, never will.
I cannot believe I am still alive to tell the tale.
When I was about three years old, my Mum and I trekked into Children’s Hospital for my annual eye exam. It resulted in glasses. A few weeks later, my new glasses and I came home. I told my mother I wouldn’t wear them. I hated them. My opinion meant nothing-the dreaded glasses were placed on my face, and out the door we went.

She dropped me off at my aunt’s and picked me up the next morning-sans glasses. “Where are they?” And I answered truthfully. But she didn’t believe me. So she and my aunt tore her place apart while simultaneously interrogating me. After one week of the glasses not reappearing, she finally believed me. I had, in fact, flushed my
Over the years, I’ve had and lost, destroyed, and damaged many pairs of glasses. One year my dog Casey actually ate a pair. Apparently she too loathed my glasses. About three years ago, I bought myself a pair of “cheaters” -the ones the drugstores sell. They worked wonders for a while. Then I had to increase the strength. And a few months later increase the strength again. My eyes were getting worse. So I trudged into Boston, with my friend Chrissy hoping and praying that there was some miraculous solution. After all, Massachusetts is all about medicine, right? I convinced myself- I was walking out of that office with no glasses- but an appointment for some type of surgery. But I was wrong. I was told I was not a candidate

for surgery. Even better that from this moment forward I’d have to wear my glasses- all the time, everyday. “But what about special occasions? Do I have to wear them on special occasions-like Christmas?” I asked. “Yes!” was the answer from the now detestable doctor. “What about when it’s dark?” “What about on Thursdays?” The questions came tumbling out. But the answer was always the same “Yes!” This was not the answer I wanted. Chrissy drove me home that day. I was angry at the universe because I could no longer see it- without my stupid glasses. And I was mad at myself too- for bringing Chrissy. Now I had a witness. She heard the doctor tell me I had to wear my glasses always. If I hadn’t brought her-no one would’ve known I was blind as a bat and had to wear my glasses always and everywhere. Since then, my eyes have progressively gotten worse. Last month I went to my eye doctor in Norwood. I knew what was coming. I needed bifocals. There was the usual “their now progressive, no one will know notice” speech-followed by the “check out the cute frames in the lobby” presentation. It’s been a month now. I’m used to my new glasses and they do transition into sunglasses (so now I can only potentially lose only one pair and not two). I’ve accepted that I have to wear my glasses all the time, everyday. But only because I am basically blind without them. Plus I knowthey are too big to flush down the toilet. Dawn C. Fitzgerald is a freelance writer.

Norwood Animal Hospital's 5th Annual Yard Sale Fundraiser Discover some new treasures and home accessories while helping local families celebrate a joyous holiday. Norwood Animal Hospital (NAH) employees have had a busy month receiving, sorting and tagging merchandise for their annual yard sale
fundraiser. The date is quickly approaching for this successful community event and savvy shoppers will soon have the opportunity to discover new household items, treasures and bargains while helping local families enjoy a joyous holiday season.
raffle baskets. This widely-spread and combined communal benefit raised over $4,000 with all proceeds providing Thanksgiving dinners, Christmas gifts and gift cards for needy Norwood families and the Ecumenical Food Pantry of Norwood.
This year's yard sale will take place on Saturday, Oct. 6, 9 a.m.-2 p.m. (rain date, Oct. 7), in the NAH parking lot, 437 Walpole St., across from the Hanniford's Plaza. Last year Mother Nature did not fully cooperate with the weather, but the sale was still able to take place on their scheduled date with tents set up to shelter the abundance of merchandise and eager shoppers. The event was actually extended two hours to accommodate the consistent flow of customers with still a large variety of items available for sale.
This event is made possible through volunteer efforts of the Norwood Animal Hospital employees and owner Dr. Tris Carpenter, who pays his employees throughout the month of September to organize and tag all donated items and closes the veterinary hospital to donate the parking lot the day of the sale.
Last year, NAH received an abundance of donated merchandise from generous Norwood neighbors and services from local businesses for

rates will be increased from 35% to 55%. At the same time, the exemptions will be reduced from $5 million (indexed for inflation) to $1 million for estate and gift taxes, and $1.36 million for Generation-Skipping-Transfer taxes. Because of the changes, now is a good time to review your situation to see if you will benefit from implementing tax reduction strategies.
Estate & Gift Tax Secrets Revealed! The IRS Says, “Current Benefits are Too Expensive In This Economy" BY DENNIS B. SULLIVAN, ESQ., CPA, LLM & THE ESTATE PLANNING & ASSET PROTECTION LAW CENTER
Estate and gift tax rates are increasing dramatically to help cover the budget deficit and boost the economy. Opportunities exist NOW to significantly reduce your estate & gift tax liability.

Important Massachusetts Law Changes In addition to federal tax changes, Massachusetts has revised its probate laws by adopting
the Massachusetts Uniform Probate Code (“MUPC”) resulting in major changes to guardianship, estate and trust laws. The problem with this major overhaul is that the transition has delayed probate proceedings, costing families’ additional time and money. If you have an estate plan, it is important to review your documents and coordinate your finances so that the costs and time delays of probate will be avoided. If you do not have an estate plan, it is critical to create a plan that will allow your family to avoid the extra costs associated with probate. Major Tax Savings Opportunities are Quickly Vanishing The window of opportunity is quickly closing. This unique opportunity is attributable to four
Page 31
factors: (1) a $5 million unified lifetime exemption (estate, gift and GST); (2) a federal tax rate of 35%; (3) low asset values; and (4) no legislation restricting wealth transfer tools. Additionally, there is no current Massachusetts gift tax. Certain gifting techniques are highly effective now, however their effectiveness will be compromised January 1, 2012 when the gift tax exemption is reduced from $5 million to $1 million. Because the significant planning opportunities mentioned only exist until the end of the year, it is important to act quickly. In order to help you learn more about how you can save taxes, protect your family, and take advantage of planning
opportunities, we’ve provided a more extensive article online at www.DSullivan.com/EstateAndGiftTaxSecretsRevealed. Dennis B. Sullivan, Esq, CPA, LLM is a tax and estate planning professional with the Estate Planning & Asset Protection Law Center, where they have over 30years experience helping Massachusetts families.
