Norwood League of Woman Voters Remains Busy This Fall
And the winner is ... By Donna Lane The 2014 Anne T. Lydon Volunteer of the Year award was presented to John Howard on Norwood Day, September 13, for his many contributions to the Town of Norwood. The award was presented by Superintendent of Recreation Gerry Miller who said Mr. Howard was the driving force for getting the Senior Center moved from the recreation building to its current location. This award is given annually at Norwood Day, generally to “someone who does a great job behind the scenes,” Miller said. Following a rousing cheer by Norwood High School cheerleaders, Howard’s response was both humorous and humble. “This was all so unexpected,” Howard said. When handed the microphone, he told the crowd that when informed about the award by Miller he asked, “Are you sure you want John Howard? I don’t do that much.” He went on to thank Miller and his staff for all they do for the town...especially Norwood Day. Howard is no stranger to awards. One of his proudest moments was when he received a citation from President Harry Truman for serving

Sept. 23 was national voter registration day, and that’s a day when League members were extremely active. Throughout the day they were everywhere from the Farmers Market to UTI Technical School and ITT Tech. They were even invited by Norwood High School Principal George Usevich to be at the high school mid morning to help register newly eligible voters who have recently turned 18. They also had a voter registration booth at Norwood Day. The group is now gearing up for candidate’s night. The LWV always hosts a candidate’s

night when there’s an election. All candidates on the ballot are invited to participate and residents are invited to contribute. Additionally, they review the any ballot questions on the upcoming ballot. If a resident cannot get out to the candidate’s night, they can watch it on local cable and still get informed on candidate views and issues . Candidate’s night is projected to be held on Thursday, Oct. 23.
Want to Get Involved? The Norwood League is actively looking for members - individuals who want to get involved with town politics and the issues. “We would like to boost our ranks,” says Carol Boison, the Norwood league’s former president and current publicity chairperson. “We are non partisan. We do not endorse candidates, but we do take a stand on issues.
The league promotes issues like education. One example, we took action and promoted the new high school in Norwood.” Anyone interested in joining the group can email the League’s membership chairperson, Toni Eosco at tonie@ norwoodlight.com.
Norwood League’s Transportation Study The group is also always looking for ways to generate a little income. Although they are a volunteer organization, they do require a small capital outlay for what they give back to the community. One example of what they need funding for is a town-wide transportation study the organization recently pulled together. The League received a $325 grant from the Dedham Institution for Savings to put together a publication outlining the different modes of transportation within the town of Norwood.
League member Susan Quinn was notified by the bank’s General Vice President and COO Gerald Lavoie that the league qualified for the donation through the bank’s community outreach committee. This donation allowed the League to publish 200 copies of the study in a booklet format and they plan to distribute several copies which will be available at the Norwood Library, the Norwood Senior Center and the town’s public housing units. The organization will also be presenting a copy to the Board of Selectmen.

St. Catherine of Siena School to Implement Pre-Advanced Curriculum in Math St. Catherine of Siena School (SCS) has announced the adoption of the College Board’s SpringBoard® Mathematics curriculum for its Middle School students in 6th, 7th, and 8th grade. SpringBoard® is the
College Board’s official PreAdvanced Placement college and career readiness mathematics program specifically designed to prepare students not only for success in Advanced Placement courses in high
school, but also for success in college and beyond. Its flexible framework allows teachers to integrate rigorous instruction and performance-based assessments within the school’s current strong mathematics cur-

riculum and testing schedule. The SpringBoard® mathematics program will support this endeavor through engaging lessons that provide students with learning strategies emphasizing solid mathematics instruction along with higher-order thinking to challenge them to aim higher and achieve more. The program will be offered in all of St. Catherine’s School Middle
School math classes this coming year. Implementing this program will ensure that all of its students have the opportunity to prepare themselves for the most challenging courses in high school and college. St. Catherine of Siena School will have the distinction of being the only Catholic middle school in the Archdiocese of Boston to implement a Pre-Advanced
Placement® mathematics curriculum this fall. In 2012, St. Catherine’s School was the first middle school in the Archdiocese to include a 1:1 iPad initiative for its 6th, 7th and 8th grade students. Now that technology is being used in every grade level right down into its Pre-School Program. Keeping SCS students challenged and to further the goal of providing STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, & Mathematics) opportunities within its structure, St. Catherine’s School provides for students at both sides of the
spectrum-from the beginning of their academic careers in its full-day, 5-day Pre-school Program for 3 year olds (new this fall) and by graduating students equipped with the tools for academic success in high school and beyond.

Apps for the Interior Design World By Alex Yavarow What was life like before smart phones? I have only had a smart phone for three years, but now that I have one, I don’t know what I would do without it. It has a camera so I can snap a quick picture, a calculator so I can quickly figure the 35% discount on a pair of shoes, and a GPS in case I get lost. I can check my email, keep up with my friends on social media, and play games when I am bored in a waiting room. It seems as though there is an app for just about everything. There are even apps that make my job as an interior designer a little bit easier, and can also be very helpful for people looking to remodel or redecorate. Here are a few of my favorites:
work on together so I can get a better sense of their style and their desires for the space. As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words, so having a plethora of inspirational images is invaluable. Photomeasure L i t e -This app allows you to take a picture of a space and then draw measurements right on the picture within the app. While I prefer good old fashioned graph paper and pencil for typical measures, this app is great if you just need to take a few quick notes on a space. It is also good for homeowners searching for furniture or art to determine whether a piece will fit within the space, and is a great way to always have these notes and measurements on the go.
Houzz--There was once a time when gathering design inspiration meant flipping through design magazines and putting paper clips on the pages that caught your eye. Or, you’d tear these pages out and stick them all in a bulky folder, but inevitably, you’d lose that one image that really spoke to your vision. Called “the Wikipedia of interior and exterior design” by CNN, Houzz is the new way to organize your Bubble Level (or any free level design inspiration images and app)--This one is pretty simple, ideas. The app, which features but it is so great having a level alover 2 million high resolution photos, is a wonderful on-the-go resource for finding, saving, and sharing inspirational images in “Ideabooks”, so that you always have them handy. I highly recommend that all my clients start an Ideabook for any project we
ways at your fingertips. It makes will provide you with a color hanging wall art and pictures a match, as well as coordinating cinch! colors to choose from! Color Capture--Let’s say you have a tea kettle in a pretty pale yellow color that you really want to represent in your kitchen design. Yo u ’ d love to paint your walls that pale yellow color. The old method would be you take home a bunch of paint chips, only to find that none of them are quite right. The next step is you start bringing the darn tea kettle around with you to paint stores trying to find a coordinating color, but you just end up looking silly. Cue the Color Capture app! With this app from Benjamin Moore, you can take a picture of pretty much anything, and as long as it is properly lit, the app

His family says that during his time in the fire department, he was instrumental in getting the “Heart Bill” passed and that he led the charge to obtain pay for volunteer fire fighters. He served as treasurer for the Council on Aging for 15 years and remains a member of that organization today.

We wanted to keep her memory alive, because she was such an instrumental part of the whole program.” The Anne T.

Tuesday, September 30, 6:45 PM Opening Meeting: Meg Muckenhoupt will present Boston’s Green Spaces, examining public spaces throughout Boston’s historic and contemporary landscape. Why did Bostonians start creating parks, and how has the philosophy behind public spaces shifted over the years? How do Boston’s newest parks balance the challenges of contaminated sites, habitat preservation, botanical interest, and community needs? Meg will answer these questions as she takes us on a journey through “green Boston.” Tuesday, October 28, 6:45 PM Monthly Meeting: Cheryl Monroe – Shrubs for YearRound Interest. From January to December, Azalea to Yucca, Cheryl’s fast-paced presentation will cover nearly 50 shrubs that will give your garden pizzazz. Growing the right shrubs is the easiest way to incorporate lots of low maintenance color, texture and appeal, without relying on fussy perennials. Cultivars on her list were selected for multi-season interest, size, ease of cultivation and local availability. Tuesday, December 2, 6:45 PM Monthly Meeting: Elaine Di Giovanni and Linda Ladd – Holiday Sparkle. To get us into the holiday spirit, Elaine and Linda will present their “Holiday Sparkle” floral design program. Both gals are nationally accredited Master Flower Show judges.

Tuesday, January 27, 6:45 PM Monthly Meeting: Panel Discussion. Have you been mesmerized by the soothing sounds of a water feature in someone’s garden? Tonight’s panel discussion of water features and fountains will endeavor to demystify them and persuade
you to create a relaxing water feature for yourself. Whether it is a gentle trickle or a flowing spout, a water feature can bring peace and tranquility to a garden, deck or patio. Garden club members who have created water features will discuss how to choose, install and maintain forms, pumps and fountains; create water garden designs and maintain plantings; the pros and cons of adding fish; and care for the water garden year round.
Tuesday, February 24, 6:45 PM Monthly Meeting: Thelma Shoneman – Say It with Flowers. Award-winning floral designer Thelma Shoneman will create six expressive designs using flowers with meanings and showing a variety of basic design types.

This PowerPoint presentation provides tried and true companions that will keep your garden in sync throughout the seasons. A photographic survey of effective pairings includes perennials, shrubs and bulbs and is accompanied by a comprehensive plant list.

Morse House Washington Street, Norwood Tuesday, April 28, 6:45 PM Monthly meeting: Trish Wesley Umbrell – Eve didn’t apply Roundup. You’re a smart person–you already know that there are a lot of compelling reasons to care for your lawn and garden as naturally as possible. But where does a busy homeowner start? Do you really have any natural options for controlling winter moths and poison ivy? And are you “failing” if you’re not totally “organic?” Join Trish Wesley Umbrell for a practical, humorous, and no-holds-barred discussion of organic practices for home gardeners: which ones are effective, which ones are easier to implement, and which ones
are more challenging, but ultimately worth it. Trish will lay the groundwork for how to go about creating your own practical game plan for taking your garden – whether 1200 square feet or 12 acres – as organic and “green” as you want to go. Saturday, May 9, 9:00 AM 1:00 PM (Rain or Shine)

All containers will be raffled off at the end of the meeting.

2014 Norwood TONY Award Recipient: Lindsey Sheehan By Bella Caggiano The Norwood TONY (Ten Outstanding Norwood Youths) Awards were initiated over 40 years ago to recognize exceptional Norwood youths in grades 10-12 for their significant contributions that included their time, effort and talent with voluntary contributions to their church, community and other worthy causes. To be eligible, the students must be Norwood residents but can attend schools outside of town. A panel of five judges, one from the business community, one from the town clergy, one from town officers, one from the Women’s Community committee and one from the Masons, review their individual nomination where they must answer five questions and a 300-word essay on what community services means to them. Through blind judging, each nominee is given a score and the top ten result in a TONY Award. The Norwood Masons, who acquired the program 18 years ago, hosts an annual
awards banquet in honor of the award winners. 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 include an additional $500 savings bond and a commemorative plaque. Local Town Pages is proud to recognize and commend these admirable young adults with a profile of each student in our monthly newspaper. Fontbonne Academy graduate Lindsey Sheehan is the fifth student profile in our 2014 TONY Award series. Fontbonne Academy graduate Lindsey Sheehan has spent many hours in the theater since she was in the 5th grade, both on stage and behind the scenes. She was introduced to the craft in dance school, in private school at Blessed Sacrament and St. Catherine’s of Siena and later in 2011 at the private Riverside Theater in Hyde Park. “I found theater was a great way to get my confidence and
it was really helpful with my communications skills,” Sheehan said. “My first show was ‘The Wizard of Oz,’ and I loved being on stage and speaking my mind.”
concentrated her efforts with those apprentices. “I was a transfer student in my 10th year so I know how difficult it was to get acclimated so I worked specifically with those students,” Sheehan said.
During the 2011-2012 season, Sheehan seized an opportunity to share her passion with younger actors as a camp counselor at the Riverside Theater. She assisted in all stages of the production, from stage manager to costumes and found it a engaging and winning experience for both them and herself.
In addition to her administrative efforts, Sheehan was also very active in the school’s peer ministry program.
“I love to help people who don’t have what I have in my life,” Sheehan said. “It really shows how a community can come together.”
“Being a camp counselor helped me a ton with self confidence and responsibility,” Sheehan said. “I was also a role model to the kids and I wanted to do that.”
At Fontbonne Academy, Sheehan got involved in many areas of volunteering. She would conduct orientations, give tours on open houses and help new students adjust to a new school. As a transfer student herself, she personally understood the hurdles involved in enrolling mid stream and particularly
Sheehan expanded her generosity at that time volunteering with the Cradles to Crayons organization. She traveled several times into Boston to assist organizing and cleaning toys, folding clothes and gathering school supplies.
“It [Fontbonne Academy] was a really enriching environment on how we can grow with our faith as students,” Sheehan said. Sheehan has just entered the University of South Carolina where she will focus on a double major in her two central interests, Exercise Science and Theater and has a future goal of earning her PhD in Physical Therapy. In addition to its quality exercise and theater programs, the university also offered other essential features that have reliably inspired her admirable life: school spirit and a strong sense of community.

Serving Her Country With Courage And Distinction: Blue Hills Regional Technical School Graduate Mary Gallagher By Judy Bass Sleeping in a tent under the night sky at Bagram Airfield in Afghanistan in 2001 watching tracers cut a glittering path across the soaring darkness overhead, Mary Gallagher could hardly believe the whirlwind of international events that had taken her from her home in Massachusetts to this ancient, exotic land thousands of miles away. “Oh, my God,” she recalls thinking, “this is for real.”
1991, where she studied Graphic Communications. A friend of her mother’s had suggested that she consider Blue Hills as a potential high school choice, so Gallagher took a tour of the school. “I fell in love with it immediately,” she says, feeling that enrolling at this school could help her figure out what she wanted to do for a career and provide attractive options for her down the road professionally.

Her induction into the turbulent post-9/11 world had begun, an experience that would eventually bring Gallagher around the globe during 12 tours of duty in places such as England, Africa and Iraq as an
Her expectations, she said, were borne out by the practicality and value of the vocational training she received. “I was head and shoulders over other kids getting out of high school,” Gallagher noted appreciatively, explaining that she had been well-educated at

Blue Hills to handle responsibilities, develop a strong work ethic, communicate effectively with others, adhere to a dress code, and deal with a superior, all skills which would come in handy for Gallagher later on in the military. After her graduation from Blue Hills, Gallagher worked in the Graphic Arts field, then spent a semester at Massasoit Community College, earned her Associate’s Degree from Quincy College, and got a degree in communications from Curry College in Milton. In 2001, at the age of 27, Gallagher joined the Air Force so she could finish college under the provisions of the GI Bill. Another factor in her desire to be involved in the military was a long-standing tradition of public service in her family. Gallagher said that her brother was in the US Army,
retired, then joined the CIA; her father served in Korea; and her mother’s uncle was at Iwo Jima during World War II. So Gallagher signed up, never anticipating being caught in the outbreak of military action in the Middle East as a result of the 9/11 attacks on the United States. In fact, while she was at Westover Air Force Base in Chicopee, MA, prior to 9/11 as a member of the Reserves, Gallagher recalls that she and others were told that the last time Westover was activated was decades ago, during the Korean War in the 1950s. In accordance with peacetime requirements, Gallagher was only required to spend one weekend a month and two weeks out of the year participating. That changed dramatically on an exquisitely clear September morning when two hijacked airliners struck the World Trade Center in New York, another crashed in Shanksville, Pa., and a fourth hit the Pentagon, killing 125 people in the iconic

New Doors Opening Downtown By Carissa Woolfe Vacant Norwood storefronts have seen some much needed turnover this summer. From retail stores, to restaurants, the downtown area has welcomed a variety of stores, and all provide fantastic services to the residents of Norwood and sur-

entitled Keystone Jewelry and Gifts, and they have opened their second store in Norwood Center, Chelala Jewlery and Gifts. Located at 696 Washington St., in Norwood, residents have shown that they want local purchasing choices as business has been booming after only being open just a few short months. The Chelala’s could not be more thrilled, and shared their appreciation for the town’s patronage. “We’ve been doing the jewelry business for over 23 years...it’s good, we’re happy so far,” Mr. Chelala said. “People here are friendly, we get visitors here every day. People stop by and wish us good luck, so that’s a really good feeling.” The store opened on July 4th Another new business, Rock and Redress, is located on 702 Washington St., in the Val’s Curtains location. The store features beautiful thrift clothing, and has something for everybody. Owner Samantha Menard is very excited about her new
business and Norwood’s vintage vibe. “I liked the downtownish feel, I’m happy to be here,” Menard said. “It’s cool to kind of have my own thing, and I’ve always loved antiques and thrift stores myself.” Rock and Redress is open Monday-Sunday, 10 a.m.7 p.m. A restaurant that has certainly made a significant splash in the town, is Bamboo Cafe, featuring delicious Chinese, sushi, and Asian grill cuisine.

building, along with all the passengers, crew and hijackers aboard the plane. (Gallagher’s brother was actually at the Pentagon that day, she said, but was fortunately uninjured.) “For me,” said Gallagher, “it seems like yesterday.” Westover, she remembered, quickly got a fateful phone call to alert everyone that the Pentagon had been hit, and a scramble ensued to watch the unimaginable news on TV. A week later, Gallagher was activated. Three weeks later, she was in Afghanistan.
It wasn’t a breeze, Gallagher said candidly. “You had to roll with the punches.” She typically put in 17 to 20 grueling hours a day processing a lot of material, multi-tasking, thinking on her feet, and developing of necessity, a thick skin so as not to take things personally in that high-stakes, breakneckpaced environment. In 2009, Gallagher was wounded when she was in Baghdad a month before elections were held. There was a hospital on the military base that was admitting casualties after a bomb had gone off in a bazaar. So many seriously hurt people required immediate attention that everyone who was available pitched in to rush them into the medical facility.

Being back home meant starting the process of recovering physically and emotionally from the high toll taken on her by military service during wartime. One positive step Gallagher took toward restoring her health occurred when her sister got her involved in State Rep. Karyn Polito’s run for Massachusetts State Treasurer in 2010. “It was the first time I enjoyed doing something [after my injury],” Gallagher said. Polito, a candidate for Lieutenant Governor and the running mate of Republican gubernatorial candidate Charlie Baker, said in an email, “Mary is a kind and courageous person, with a rock-solid core. She is someone you can always depend on to deliver on a promise. She is a person of enormous strength and talent, and by her own example, inspired me each and every day to work my very best in my campaign for public office. I admire Mary, and thank her for her service to our country.” Coming from a politicallyinvolved family, it was almost natural for Gallagher to jump in behind the scenes to again play a role. Today, she works

for Mass Victory, an arm of the Massachusetts Republican Party which helps GOP candidates. Reflecting on her military service, Gallagher said, “I gave everything of myself.” It was important to her to “serve a higher cause,” especially in the aftermath of 9/11. There were certainly sacrifices she made along the way. For example, her father died in 2005, while she was stationed in Germany. Gallagher lost friends, she said; some of them will never be the same, like the one she movingly described who watched aghast as hijacked American Airlines Flight 77 swooped down before
striking the Pentagon on 9/11, so low, in fact, that he glimpsed the terror-stricken faces of the doomed passengers through the plane’s windows as they struggled to figure out their location in those last few moments before the horrific lethal impact. As for herself, Gallagher expressed her pleasure at all the success Blue Hills Regional Technical School, her beloved alma mater, is having, and vowed to keep serving the community and the state in whatever capacity she can. Right now, she feels home at last.

Financial Myths, Mistakes, and Misunderstandings Contributed by Philip Swan, Norwood Financial Services at Norwood Bank Throughout our financial lives, we may be influenced by myths, mistakes, and misunderstandings (MMMs). Here are just a few.
In the beginning . . . I don’t invest because I don’t know much about it.”It’s time to learn, because a basic understanding of investing concepts can help you make more informed financial decisions.
“Wow, they’ll give me that much credit! I must be able to handle it.” Just because the credit-card company or bank extends a large amount of credit to you, it doesn’t mean you should use all of it. The more you borrow, the larger the monthly payments, and before you know it, you’ve bitten off more than you can chew. Figure out how much you’ll owe based on the amount you borrow and determine if it will fit within your budget. Generally speaking, if you can’t afford the payment, don’t incur the debt.
retirement when I’m older.” Planning for retirement involves saving enough by a desired age to enable you to support yourself without having to work. If you wait to begin saving for retirement, you’ll have to sock more away or put off retirement to a later date. So the earlier you begin saving, the better.
back of my hand. I don’t need to write them down.” You’d be surprised how often we think we know how much we can afford until our bills start to exceed our income. If you write down your expenses and income (e.g., create a spending plan or budget), you’ll know how much you can spend
Go figure
“I’ll dip into my retirement account and make it up later.” First, if you borrow from your 401(k), you’ll likely pay fees and interest. If you take money from a traditional IRA, you’ll pay income tax on the amount you take and possibly a 10% penalty. Remember, these accounts are intended for retirement. Taking money out now increases the risk you might run out of money during retirement.
Sometimes we think we know something and rely on it as being correct, when in fact it couldn’t be further from the truth.

“My child will pay back the money I loaned to him or her.” Good luck. That “loan” is probably going to turn into a gift, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing if it really helps your child, but be sure you can afford the loan/gift before making it.
And later on . . . As we get older, we may fall prey to some MMMs that can be the source of needless angst, such as: “I won’t need as much income in retirement.” Maybe, but it might be a mistake to count on it. In fact, in the early years of retirement, you may find that you spend just as much money, or maybe more, than when you were working, especially if you are still paying a mortgage. And don’t forget to factor in increasing health-care costs. And speaking of health care, “the new health-care law cuts my basic Medicare benefits

and services.” Just the opposite is true. The Affordable Care Act (ACA) mandates that no guaranteed Medicare benefits are cut. In fact, the ACA expands Medicare benefits to include a free annual wellness assessment. And finally, “If I die without a will, the state will get my assets and property.”This isn’t necessarily true. Each state has intestacy laws, which determine who gets what when someone dies without a will. But those laws generally deal with assets in your name at your death that don’t have a designated beneficiary or joint owner. In any case, if you want to have some say in who will inherit your assets after your death, you need to prepare an estate plan, which probably includes a will.

Viola Sastavickas Scholarship Awarded to Norwood High School Graduate, Hallie Miller Joseph and Viola Sastavickas and their children used the library for many years. In the recent years before Viola’s death, they received service in their home from the Outreach Department of the library. When Mrs. Sastavickas passed away in 2006, her children made a generous donation to the library to endow a perpetual $500 scholarship in memory of their mother. According to her daughter, Kathy Sastavickas, the scholarship is “a fitting tribute to our beautiful mother and to the library and staff which treated her with great respect and affection.” Over recent years the Sastavickas family has made additional donations to the Sastavickas Scholarship Fund to ensure that the scholarship would be given to a deserving recipient. For the past seven years, a committee was assigned to review the submitted applications and this year selected Hallie Miller to receive the Viola Sastavickas Scholarship. This committee included the Chairman of the Library Board of Trustees,

Hallie began
coming to the library as a small child and has been a lifelong reader. Her favorite author is Kate DiCamillo.

He said it was found in a box at a recycling center. How sad. Our volunteer took the kitten home overnight.

Out and About By Dawn C. Fitzgerald
Please Hold The other day, I called my doctor’s office to make an appointment for something random. It wasn’t life threatening, but to me it was important enough to make a call. Before I could get the words, “My name is…” I was asked (although it seemed more like told), “Can you please hold for a moment?” I didn’t have the opportunity to answer her question before I heard a click, then some random song circa 1970-something started playing. And despite my best efforts, I started to hum along. I have a few theories about being placed on hold. The first is the mere mention of being placed on hold for a “moment”. Can you please be more definitive? A moment could be five seconds or five
years. To me, no matter how much time it actually is-it feels infinite. The “moment” I am officially placed on hold, the stopwatch of time in my life that I’m never, ever going to get back starts. Considering I’m no spring chicken, I need all the moments I can these days. But I digress. What is worse? Being informed that you will be on hold for an undefined “moment” or the recording informing you “there are forty seven callers ahead of you.” Forty seven callers? Really? Is this just a sick ploy to get you to hang up and call back later-preferably never? And who are these forty seven other people? Don’t they have jobs? Lives? You begin hoping that some of the callers are on cell phones with batteries at death’s door so you can be moved up the caller list.
Then the hated voice comes back on informing you of your miserable fate “there are now forty six callers ahead of you”. After the recording of the lady informing you of your forty six new sworn enemies ahead of you, music begins to play. Now, hold music isn’t just your average music. It usually falls into two categories: songs of the 70’s that you never, ever have the desire to hear again, or computerized Muzak with no lyrics or just sounds that are played over and over in a loop. The sole purpose of hold music is to drive you to the brink of insanity. Or to just give up and hang up. Whichever comes first. Sometimes, I actually envision the person that placed me on hold filing her nails and laughing, as my little light of hope blinks on her multi lined phone. She probably leaves the office to go get coffee, grab lunch, leave the country. She doesn’t

actually care about little old me, the blinking light, convinced someone will answer my question sometime, in this lifetime. She just wants me to hang up. To give up. To quit on my question quest. But I am no quitter. Oh no. I will not be ignored, my little light will shine. My question will be answered. If only I can wait just one more moment. Suddenly, I hear the voice of an angel breaking through the bad, torturous music, “Thanks for holding, how can I help you?” Before I can get the words out, the angel changes
back into her true demon form, “Wait, another call is coming in, let me put you on hold for a moment.” The music begins again. Quietly at first, then it gets louder and louder. It is taunting me. Daring me to give up. But I can’t, I won’t. After all, she told me, I’d only be on hold for a moment. And I, like the forty plus callers before me will wait. If only for a moment. Dawn C.

Exercises and techniques to treat issues specific to women include: Muscle retraining – This creates body awareness (how you get in and out of your car, how you bend to pick things up, how you sit, overall posture, etc.) and improves movement patterns. Kegel exercises to strengthen weak pelvic floor muscles in addition to Pilates can be very beneficial.
Ever since the New York Times bestseller “Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus” by John Gray was published, more and more people have asked the question “What makes men and women so different?” It is important to understand that there are several physical and physiological attributes that are unique to women. Physical therapists understand the physical differences (and unique needs) of the female population and are uniquely qualified to assist women to live healthy, pain-free lives.
Healthy Aging for Older Women Specific actions need to be taken to ensure healthy aging for older women. Physical therapy can help identify (and eliminate) risk factors for falls and fractures. Regular strengthening and weight bearing exercise can slow down the reduction in bone density as women age. Here are some of the conditions, common among women, in which physical therapy can play an important role: • Osteoarthritis
Exercise Therapy – helps improve mobility, strength, and endurance. This also strengthens bones and joints. • Breast and other cancers
Modalities – Application of heat and/or ice, electrical stimulation therapy, and massage therapy to reduce pain, stiffness, and swelling.
• Rehabilitation following breast surgery • Lymphedema • Post-menopausal heart disease • Chronic myofascial pain • Patellofemoral pain syndrome • Hypermobility syndrome • Multiple sclerosis • Sacroiliac (SI) joint dysfunction • Fibromyalgia • Ailments unique to female athletes Physical therapy, also, helps reduce discomfort and recovery before, during and after pregnancy.
Manual therapy – helps improve joint and soft tissue flexibility and mobility by using repetitive and specific hands-on movements and motions. Every physical therapy program is different and is customized to the patient’s needs. Physical therapy can make a difference to every member in your family at some point.

Fat Loss the Easy and Healthy Way According to Carol Mercier, who did the program at New England Fat Loss with her husband Ken, it is easy. It is doable. ”I was seeing Dr. Johns for chiropractic care and he really thought the weight loss program would help me,” Mercier said. She and her husband decided to do it because she trusted Dr. Johns. “We started at the very end of May and we have both lost and maintained a 50 lb weight loss!” Mercier added. Located at 22 South Street in Hopkinton, Massachusetts, in the office building in front of Price Chopper, New England Fat Loss has a doctor who oversees the program and guarantees you will be successful. Dr. Dirk Johns uses new technology to do a body scan that can detect hormonal imbalances. The information from the scan is used to design a weight loss plan specifically for your body condition. “I think I lost around 35lbs in 45 days and my husband lost 45lbs in 45 days,” Mercier said, “within the first couple of weeks I came off my blood pressure and fibromyalgia meds and my husband also was able to stop taking acid reflux medication.” “We feel terrific,” she adds enthusiastically. Ken went from a 42 inch waist pants to a 34 and Carol went from a size 24 to a size 16.
Not only are the health benefits great but now the couple is able to do things they enjoy like hiking though they do admit they are now very thoughtful about everything they eat which is an added benefit. Ken weighs 182 and is just maintaining that weight. Carol would like to loose another 30 pounds, which would bring her to a healthy weight. The program uses unique advanced technology, which allows New England Fat Loss Center specialists to balance your hormones, which in turn allows your body to lose those extra pounds safely, naturally and quickly! This innovative program also will give you all the tools to maintain weight control for a healthier and thinner you moving forward. “It is easy to stay on track when you lose weight quickly,” Mercier said, adding, “I have never been successful on any other diet.” She and husband Ken are both very pleased with their results and would recommend the program to anyone. To schedule a FREE consultation with Dr. Johns go to his website at newenglandfatloss. com. All appointments are booked online at newenglandfatloss.com.

A Five-Step Prescribed Remedy for Organizing Medicine Cabinets By Debbie Tremblay, A.K.A. The Organizing Genie
I have created a 5-Step remedy to help you eliminate and reorganize this highly utilized space before, not after, the first sniffle arrives in your home.
Fall has officially arrived in New England. As we enjoy a landscape of beautiful autumn foliage and pumpkins, the crisp cool air will soon usher in the cold and flu season.
REMOVE Completely remove everything from your medicine cabinet or whatever locations you house these items in and place all like items together.
If your medicine cabinet is a jumbled mess of boxes, bottles and who knows what, now is the perfect time to clean it out and safely rid your home of expired prescriptions and over the counter medications.
ELIMINATE • Review all prescriptions and over the counter medications
and check their use-by-date. If they are outdated, place them aside for safe disposal. • Examine and toss all expired vitamins, ointments, toothpaste etc. • Due to bacteria, mascara should be tossed after 3 months and makeup should be tossed after one year. • Consider eliminating last year’s expired allergy medication because they don’t have

the same potency this year and can actually be dangerous for you and your family.
• Now is the time to finally eliminate those rusty nail clippers, tweezers, old toothbrushes, etc.
RESTORE & ORGANIZE • Clean and disinfect your empty medicine cabinet and create an organized plan to restore all remaining items. • Place frequently used items on the bottom shelves and rarely used products on the top shelf. Arrange these shelves to fully utilize the remaining space. • Group and contain like items such as first aid, cold, allergy, cold and flu, aspirins, etc. in small labeled containers, bins, or even Ziploc bags. Organizing by categories will make it easier to reach for and be more convenient to find when you need them at a moments notice. • For easy tracking purposes, place a clearly marked label with the expiration date on all remaining and any new prescriptions or over the counter medications you purchase. For those items without an expiration date, place a label with its purchase date attached to it.
October 1, 2014 • Keep a list of all family prescription medications, which includes dosage and pharmacy contact numbers taped inside your medicine cabinet for emergencies. Be sure to update as needed. You might also want to make a copy of this list to keep in your wallet to take with you when you travel. • To end confusion as to which medications belong to who, take a different colored marker or sticker and create a color code system for each family member.
DISPOSAL Although you may have heard to flush prescription and over the counter medications down the toilet, I personally don’t use this advice because it’s possible that these medications find their way into our water systems. Visit www.fda.gov to learn how to safely dispose of these medications.
REPEAT Repeat this process every 6 months. After the first initial cleanup, repeating this process every 6 months should take no time at all. This 5-step prescription is the perfect solution to keep your family safe and healthy all year long. www.OrganizingGenie.com

decided to try cross country and immediately loved it.”
Aimee Worcester has been an assistant coach for the Norwood cross country team since 2009, but this fall she take over the reins of the team as a first-year head coach. Worcester’s athletic history dates back to Apponoquet Regional High School in Lakeville where she ran long distance and then at Westfield State, where she continued to run track as well as cross country.
Having been around the runners over the past four seasons Worcester knows that it’s going to be an uphill battle, but she is optimistic.
“In high school my coach continued to try to get me to run cross country, but I was playing field hockey and didn’t want to give that up,” Worcester said. “Once I got to college, I
“Last year’s cross country team didn’t have that great of a record, but we are in the process of rebuilding the program,” Worcester said. “The numbers have been increasing tremendously and although I’m not sure about our record this year, I am sure that we will be better.” Senior captain JJ O’Donnell is slated to once again be the team’s number one runner. The Coach is hoping that he once
Other female runners the coach is looking to make a jump are sophomores Alyssa Abruzzese and Rosemarie Murray, two enthusiastic athletes that love to run. Another sophomore who will be taking part in cross country for the first time is Sionna Jordan. “Sionna ran track last year and I am expecting big things from her,” Worcester said. I hope her track skills translate to cross country.”

again provides the leadership on and off the course. The Mustangs two thru four runners on the boy’s side will be Clifton Clark and Dan Curley, also captains, as well as John Ostrum. The junior trio, which runs as a pack, will switch up who crosses the finish line in second, third and fourth for Norwood. Sophomores Thomas Driscoll and Patrick Frost should finish in the top seven. Although the girls side is having difficulties getting the numbers to join the team, they will be lead by senior captain Nency Sangami. Sophomore Kelly Blake is slated to be the number one runner for the girls. Last year, she was the squad’s number three runner, but the

“Kelly had been injured, but she will be ready for the season opener,” the coach said. “Based on her performance in track where she runs the mile, I’m looking for her to have a great season and step it up this year.”
As a first year head coach, Worcester knows she can’t revive the program overnight, so it’ll be a day by day building process for the Mustangs. “Our goals are just to keep on improving, individually as well as a team,” the coach said. “While we are making that
move forward, we will continue to build this team and its numbers. Running is a lifelong sport and I believe we will be competitive.”

as seniors, helping to build this program.”
Four years ago, Jason Andrews took over as the Norwood freshman boys soccer coach, the next year he was at the helm of the junior varsity squad and as he enters this season, he begins his second year as the varsity head coach. The squad that will suit up for the Mustangs this fall are a majority of athletes that spent their first year with Andrews on the freshman team.
According to Andrews, it has been a pleasure working with these guys for four years.
“We may have graduated a lot of seniors from last year’s team, but we had a good group of sophomores and juniors from that team back this year,” Andrews said. “One of the nicest things for me this year is seeing the freshmen that were with me my first year now playing
“Prior to the season, we decided our theme was going to be family, as everything we do is like a family,” Andrews said. “After a scrimmage, a referee came up to me and said that all three of our teams (varsity, jv and freshman) were like one big family. Win, lose or draw, we are going to have a good time this season.” Last fall, the Mustangs found themselves on the losing end of many close contests and were only able to tweak out a single win, but Andrews firmly believes his team will be able to overcome that number this season.
Looking to lead Norwood will be its three senior captains in Joe Schallmo, an honorable mention on the Bay State League All Star team as the Mustangs four-year keeper; Joey Bartucca, who has the ability to put the ball in the net, but is better suited as a midfielder and Ben McGrath, a center fullback who was converted to the offense last fall where he rose to the occasion. Norwood is hoping to get some solid offense from junior Cam Ryan and four-year starter Danny Farrell. Ryan is a natural leader and passionate soccer player who generates offense. He’s a phenomenal ball handler and is very dangerous in front of the net. Farrell, who also plays hockey and lacrosse for Norwood, was moved from fullback to a striker and Andrews is looking for him to score some goals this fall.
“Danny’s an offensive player for the hockey and lacrosse teams and although he was doing well defensively I wanted to see what he can do offensively,” the coach said. “He’s got a nose for scoring, so we’re hoping what he does in his other sports translates onto the soccer field.” Two other athletes that the coach is looking for big things from are senior midfielder Tim Buckley and defender Jesse Fleming. Fleming is another smart player on the field and rarely lets anyone get behind him. Coach Andrews is hoping he is an All League contender. Buckley can play just about anywhere on the field, but is most effective as an outside midfielder where he can use his speed and endurance. Buckley was also named the Mustangs most improved player last season.
Norwood unfortunately had to open the season with three of the top teams (Brookline, Braintree and Weymouth) in the Carey Division of the Bay State League, but looks to be competitive within the Herget Division. “The record for wins by a Norwood boys soccer team is 6 wins,” Andrews said. “As a coach, I want to one day lead the team that breaks that record. Who knows it could be this year and I would love to have this group of kids who have been together for four years do it.” Not only would it be special for Andrews and his first team to be the ones to break the record, but it would also be great for the program to move forward after a touch season last fall.

Local Dogs Taking to the Norwood Streets 2nd Annual Breast in Show Walk, October 26 By Bella Caggiano If dogs could lace up their sneakers, that is exactly what they would be doing Sunday, October 26, as the strut through the streets of Norwood to raise money for breast cancer. The fourlegged friends will accompany their twolegged companions in the 2nd Annual Breast In Show Walk, sponsored by The Soggie Doggie. The approximate three-mile walk will raise funds for breast cancer research and anyone is invited, with or without a dog. Walkers and their leashed pets will launch the walk at The Soggie Doggie, in South Norwood, 10 a.m., proceed to Norwood Center and the Town Common, where refreshments and snacks will be provided all walkers, canines and their families. The return trip heads down Central St., down Guild, Broadway and Washington St., and back to the salon, to enjoy food prepared and donated by Giorgio’s Pizza of Norwood. On their inaugural walk last year, approximately 140 walk-
“Everyone has been affected by breast cancer in some way,” Terwilliger said. “We all know somebody who has either survived breast cancer, passed away because of breast cancer, or is fighting it now. We want to do whatever we can to help
ers participated, where almost 80 dogs and even 1 cat (in a carrier) joined in the event. They also raised an impressive $5,000, with 100% donated to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. “It exceeded our expectations,” Soggie Doggie co-owner Rebecca Collins said. “It was a huge turnout.” Collins and co-owner Meghan Terwilliger were inspired to initiate the walk after seeing football players wearing pink in October, the official Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Both women have unfortunately experienced the effects of breast cancer within their families and knew they were not alone. “The idea started as simply encouraging clients to do pink
creative grooming through the month of October, Terwilliger said. “We then thought maybe we could join in on an already established walk (Susan G Comen or Avon) with all of our pink pets, but then decided that we should just do our own!” Throughout the month of October, The Soggie Doggie will also enhance its high quality and creative dog and cat grooming to raise monetary donations through their services. In addition to the walk, all the proceeds from the purchase of any pink creative color (dye the ears, tail, paws, etc.), pink feather extensions or pink nail pawlish will go directly to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF), where $.99 of every dollar goes into the fund.
2nd Annual
By Donna Lane There a lot going on behind the Coakley Middle School. In fact, there is a master recreation plan that Superintendent of Recreation Gerry Miller, oversees. It is an ambitious plan; a plan that will take years to complete. It is also a very thoughtful plan; one that seeks to minimize expense to the town while providing needed recreational facilities for not only the youths, but also for Norwood’s older citizenry. With facts and figures at the tip of his tongue, Miller talks excitedly about the most recent development: a walking path, just shy of a 1⁄2 mile, with exercise stations along the way. At press time, it was scheduled for completion by the end of September.
Breast In Show Walk Sunday: October 26, 2014
Volunteers tore down the old fencing that surrounded the field now being refurbished. Miller acknowledged several local contractors that had contributed their labor to clear the area of trees and brush so the walking track could be built. Lucas Carr, owner of Pathfinder, handled all of the tree removal. Andy David Landscaping, Anthony

Coming Soon - A New Walking Track
The track has been installed using reclaimed pavement. “When our DPW removes pavement from our roads, it is refined and reused for projects such as this,” Miller explained. Who knew Norwood also recycles its pavement!
Pink Paws for a Cause
October 1, 2014
Cataldo Landscaping and Mark Copponi Landscaping each donated time to remove heavy brush. The new fence has been installed around the field.
Irrigation has been installed. Miller knows the crew well and chatted briefly with them while he gave a tour of the facility, inviting them to the Norwood Day celebration. Another crew (Frank Ciavattone’s) worked on the exercise stations that surround the track. There will be five of them, interspersed with benches. Miller is quick to point out that the major benefactor for the track was Dedham Savings Bank who contributed $30,000 toward the exercise stations, benches, fence and walking path. The frames for the exercise stations are in place, built to the specifications each piece of equipment calls for. Miller’s vision is taking shape. This is not only a walking track, but also an outdoor workout area. The five machines will include a chest/back press, an assisted row/push-up machine, a pullup/dip machine, an abdominal crunch/leg lift machine and a squat press. Each of these machines provides two different activities in one fitness station. The machines are designed to weather the elements. Miller anticipates the exercise stations will average over 1,000 uses per year. And he says the walking track will be lit, just as the fields for youth lacrosse, soccer and football. The Town of Norwood continues to develop its recreation master plan for its residents. Gerry Miller is an enthusiastic champion of that plan. Donna Lane is a Norwoodbased writer, lecturer and designer. You can reach her at addictedgardener@verizon.net.
