Curtain Call Delayed in Renovated Norwood Theatre
Foam Day Heads Up an “Awesome Summer” for Recreation Dept.
BY STAFF WRITER August 2011 was a month many local theater lovers were looking forward to. That was the initial completion date for the opening of the renovated Norwood Theater.
BY TIM DAVIS
“It’s great for the kids, they love it, and it’s fun for us,” said Norwood Fireman Mark McCarthy.
This past July, the Norwood Recreation Department and the Norwood Fire Department combined a day of fun, with their annual Foam Day on the upper field behind the Coakley Middle School. “It’s an awesome day,” said Norwood Recreation Department Program Director, Linda Berger. “This summer has been a fantastic, we’ve had great enrollment to the point where we had to hire more staff to accommodate the need this summer.”
Parents gathered, as many of fifty, from around the community to take pictures and watch their kids enjoy the day. “I haven’t been before and I came with a neighbor,” said parent Susan Neuman, “ it’s such a wonderful thing what the fire department is doing and the kids love it, it’s just awesome.” Hundreds of kids enjoyed Foam Day as they jumped and frolicked
in the foam sprayed by one of Norwood’s finest.

When Dover resident Susan Lewis purchased the prior Fiddlehead Theatre through Storyboard, LLC in January 2010, architectural drawings were drawn immediately, but a lengthy wait for handicap permits and the necessary complete demolition of the basement for additional bathrooms put the development behind schedule. "The fact that we ended up having to excavate the cellar, but there was no other place to put them [bathrooms], that's taken up the most time in the building so far," Lewis said. In 12 months, when the renovation is complete, it will have received a complete makeover from behind the structural curtains to the general ascetstics throughout. According to Lewis, the entire shell was gutted and the charming theater was updated with new plumb-

Unforeseen circumstances with delayed building permits and build outs have pushed the project out until August 2012.

ing, electrical, sprinkle and HVAC systems, as well as an elevator and new lighting. Her initial goal was to maintain and preserve the building's traditional elements, such as the interior wood wainscoting and paneling, but unfortunately, these materials needed to be replaced.
"This is my contribution to the town and I have very strong feelings about the positive aspects of performing arts and our youth and I want to continue our theater and offer it to a new generation,” Lewis said. "My children were lucky enough to experience it and I would like my grandchildren to experience it also."
Lewis assures fans of the original character of the building that great consideration was given to the theater's roots and history and every effort has been made to maintain its charm and history.
Lewis has many communal plans for the future of the Norwood Theater with opportunities for dance companies, music, corporate and family events and possibly film screenings. Her objectives are not to compete with larger theaters in the area, but as a setting for a local performing arts center.
"We're not taking anything out that was original," Lewis said. “We are restoring as much as we can. The lobby is very beautiful and we are being careful not to hurt that area." This project and the magic of the local theater is not the first act for Lewis. Years ago she oversaw the launch of a community theater in Massachusetts and as a former
Westwood resident, her children participated in many Fiddlehead Theater productions and consequently, Lewis became very involved.
"I volunteered at the Fiddlehead in the early days, it was very addictive," Lewis said. "I spent a lot of time in that theater and that is primarily why when it came up for sale I was interested in purchas-

ing it." Lewis also appreciates the significance of the arts and the influences and culture a local theater conveys to a town and its families.

Norwood' rides, they will eventually cover over 100 miles and have ridden on almost every road in Norwood.
Have you noticed a surge in bicycle riding lately? The reason could be people are riding for a healthier lifestyle, or maybe, a bike ride is a solution to the poor economy and elevating fuel costs?
A group ride outside of Norwood currently toured the Blackstone River Bikeway in Rhode Island, which is a ten-mile dedicated bikeway stretch along the Blackstone River.
Bicycle accessibility is becoming more popular across the country and even here in Norwood. Some of the credit, for increased local cycling, does go to the town government and merchants, but some of that influence has come from a newly founded bike club right here in Norwood.
Any Norwood resident is eligible to join BikeNorwood and children under 18 will need a minor release form. For more information on BikeNorwood, visit their website at www.bikenorwood.com, email Smith at dan@bikenorwood.com
Introducing BikeNorwood. Daniel P. B. Smith founded BikeNorwood late last year. His goal was to encourage biking and bike awareness in Norwood, especially bike parking. "I personally wanted to see more bicycle parking in Norwood and have the town and local merchants pay more attention to the needs of bicyclists, particularly adults," Smith said. With a club slogan of 'Ride More, Ride Here,' a total of 28 members and 12 active members have since joined the organization, to coordinate more bike parking with town officials and local businesses. They have also assisted the Norwood Health Department distributing bicycle helmets for ‘To-

"It is a wonderful venue for so many artistic companies in Norwood and surrounding communities and I think we are lacking in space for them to shine," Lewis said. or phone 781-769-2882. Even if you are not ready to join a bicycle club, Smith has advice for the novice or veteran rider about the advantages of a bicycling. "Get back on your bike!" Smith said. "Don't underestimate how much transportation a bicycle is. And get out in the sun and the breeze and make eye contact and say hi to your neighbors as you ride by. Get past the strangeness and the unfamiliarity. If you don't like it, then fine, put it back in the shed again."
Bike club member Liz Wilson rides with her daughter, Martha. gether, Yes’ a bike safety event and on Norwood Day. The Norwood Health Department also sells bicycle helmets for $5 during normal business hours. "We asked the town to put in some bicycle parking downtown and they've put in three loop racks near Perks, Byblos and St. Catherine's Parish," Smith said. "At our urging, the Norwood Cooperative Bank has agreed to put in a loop rack which may be in place soon, and Gravestar, which operates Shaw's Plaza, says they will be installing some bicycle parking later this year." Smith says that Norwood is not anti-bike, but its environment did not encourage the use of local bik-
ing either. In the short time that the organization has been in place, bike accessories have been increasing all around town. "Norwood is neither bikefriendly nor bike hostile… mostly bike-oblivious," Smith said. "It's not surprising because there isn't a lot of bicycle traffic through Norwood...yet. There's more than people might think though, and as time goes on I think it will increase." In addition to encouraging local bicycle awareness, BikeNorwood also coordinates group rides both inside and outside of Norwood. According to Smith, if a person rides all of the sponsored 'Tour de

2011 Norwood TONY Award Recipient: Nicole Breen BY STAFF WRITER
at the Franciscan Children's Hospital in Brighton where the staff and fellow patients inspired her to persistently give back for years following her full recuperation.
The Norwood TONY (Ten Outstanding Norwood Youths) Awards were initiated over 40 years ago to recognize exceptional Norwood youths for their voluntary contribution to the community. Through anonymous reviews of the student's volunteer record and a 300word essay, the Norwood Masons, who acquired the program 16 years ago, named the 2011 TONY Award winners at a banquet held January 24.
"I love giving back to them because they got me to where I am today," Breen said. "They are what got me into service." Now a talented singer and dancer, Breen returns the favor often through song. She has performed at countless events for the organization; such as fundraisers, galas, caroling during the holidays and singing the national anthem at Red Sox games. She also got a rare chance to mete Red Sox players, Tim Wakefield and Jason Varitek at their annual golf tournament benefit, 'Pitching for Kids.'
The award includes a citation and plaque from the governor, a $1,000 savings bond and a gift card from Perk's coffeehouse. Two supplementary awards also included additional $500 savings bonds. Local Town Pages is also recognizing these admiral young adults with a profile of each student each month in our newspaper. Norwood High School graduated senior, Nicole Breen, is the sixth student profile in our TONY Award series. For many of the TONY Award recipients, their introduction to community service was a result of school, church or organizational
requirements. For 18 year-old Nicole Breen, however, her draw to volunteering arose from a tragic childhood circumstance. "I got into service at such a young age for such a different reason," Breen said.

"I have been in Relay for Life for a long as I can remember either singing or walking, and this year I was a captain of a team," Breen said.
Breen will be attending Assumption College next month and plans to remain engaged with student government and will focus her studies on special education and psychology, an area she is also passionate about, that began when she volunteered at the Cleveland School last spring assisting in the special needs room. Of course she also plans on furthering her interests in singing and dancing and looks forward to discovering many new opportunities in her new school. "I'm really excited to meet new people and will be more on my own and want to see what I am capable of," Breen said. "Assumption has something for everybody and I will get involved in some new things and stick with the old. I'm excited for a new environment."

When Breen was seven years old, she was diagnosed with Gullian Barre Syndrome, a condition that attacks the nervous system and left Breen paralyzed from the neck down for an entire summer.
Breen also demonstrates her remarkable recovery in a number of fundraiser walks, such as Making Strides for Breast Cancer Walk, the Walk for Hunger, Walk for Autism and Relay for Life.
At Norwood High School, Breen was very active in the music program with the Madrigal Singers, the concert chorale and jazz choir and in NHS government as secretary of the senior class and the student council.

This donation will help subsidize the current efforts made by the Bay State Animal Cooperative to reduce pet overpopulation and help stray, owned and relinquished pets through difficult times. The single most important venture currently being pursued by the Bay State Animal Cooperative is the creation
of a low-cost spay neuter clinic in the Plymouth or Norfolk county to offer a much demanded service to communities. We hope that this donation will initiate other similar donations to compound the funds to assist in this venture. The clinic plan and proposal is ready for operation but is seeking funding to purchase the much needed start-up equipment and medical supplies to begin surgeries.

4th of July Pictures Fourth of July celebrations offered residents an afternoon of events for the entire family. The weather cooperated and provided a day of sunshine, although a little warm for runners and parade participants, but fun was had by all and congratulations and thanks to the Norwood Fourth of July committee for a wonderful day. The holiday began with the charming doll carriage, bike decorating and character dress-up in the early afternoon. The gun went off for the 5k Firecracker Race just ahead of the parade and early parade spectators cheered them on through the center of town. The parade was another success, with the fire truck and police convoy, antique cars and military vehicles and personnel followed by bands playing patriotic songs, floats with local children's sports teams, town officials and entertaining acts.
A little “facelift” with amazing results!

I now enjoy the serenade of birds in lieu of sirens, when I wake up in the morning. Although, the darned things really need to work on their timing, “hey birds, just because the sun’s up doesn’t mean I have to be,” I am just saying. Being of the city, the big dog that would occasionally visit our yard was not in fact a dog, but a deer. Growing up, a deer was seen behind the fence at the local petting zoo. At first I didn’t like the idea of a giant dog…deer roaming freely in my yard, at the crack of dawn, especially midway through my backyard birds’ morning concerto. But, I’ve grown to love it. Now if I spot a deer, sometimes bringing along its friends and family members for a reunion on my front lawn, I usually rush to wake up my kids to see it. They in turn come flying down the stairs making such a ruckus that the poor thing runs off in sheer terror. Come to think of it, I’m usually the only one that actually sees the deer. Anyway… In the city, there were pigeons, lots of pigeons. For the most part, they kept to themselves. They are dirty birds that know to move away from people, an endearing quality that suburban birds do not have. Basically city birds are not as tough as suburban ones. Over the years, I have seen more than one wild turkey in my back-

yard (and no, I don’t mean the bottle of whiskey after a Saturday night). These birds are outside, I am inside, these animals have been known to attack and I’m all set with that.
And I can’t leave out the Canadian geese that strut their stuff, not only on my lawn, but also on the local fields. One is aware of the visiting geese; they leave their nasty droppings everywhere. And I thought pigeons’ droppings were bad. When I coached cheerleading at the local middle school, more times than not, the geese had gotten to the fields before the girls. There were bird droppings everywhere, and we had to cheer around them. Yuck. These geese may look cute and feathery but don’t let their looks fool you. They are not to be approached. They are not in a petting zoo for a reason. Geese are just mean, nasty critters that will hiss at you and bite you if you get too close. Canadian geese have bad attitudes.
And this started long before they lost this year’s Stanley Cup. Many times, while driving through the streets of town I’ve seen a gaggle crossing the street. They take their sweet time, despite my honking and yelling. The last time, I swear, one flipped me the wing. I’ve accepted these birds but will not refer to them as my feathered friends. Currently there is an animal living under our deck. My husband and I still aren’t sure what it is. It may be a gopher, or possibly a possum? According to this still city girl… it’s a small cat. Whatever it is… it’s afraid of people. Whenever it sees one of my house’s inhabitants, it scurries under the deck. We don’t bother it. It doesn’t bother us. Just one more suburban animal this city girl will have to learn to love. As long as it doesn’t bite me or flip me off with its tail. Dawn C. Fitzgerald is a freelance writer.

It's Summertime! Should You Exercise Indoors Or Outdoors? BY JOHN VACOVEC Owner and Therapist of Physical Therapy and Sports Rehab., Inc. Whether you exercise in the comfort of your own home, a gym or prefer to be outdoors, there are important considerations between indoor and outdoor workouts that you should be aware of. Your physical therapist will be able to design an exercise program with enough variation to keep you healthy and motivated throughout summer. Staying indoors Here are some of the advantages of exercising indoors: • Climate control: Most people choose to exercise indoors to escape extreme temperatures and humidity. • Environment control: Accidents can happen anywhere, but the risk of injury decreases with indoor equipment. • Intensity control: Machines such as the treadmill, elliptical and bicycle allow you to modify your speed, incline/level and duration of exercise. In addition; • These machines can also lower the impact on your feet, knees, hips and spine. This is something
outdoor trails cannot always provide.
• Curbs and steps challenge stability and strength.
• Most aerobic machines are equipped with heart rate monitors, which help you determine the intensity of your workout. If you are unsure of how high or low your heart rate should be while exercising, call us for more information.
• There may be several sudden starts and stops with people or traffic lights, working your muscles in a different way by coming to a complete stop, then starting again from zero.
• Precise muscle targeting: Several machines in a gym can help to strengthen certain muscle groups of the body (like quadriceps or biceps) and allow you to restore muscle imbalance. Taking it Outside When the weather’s great, sunshine can do wonders for a workout. Exercises like swimming, walking, running, cycling, or playing sports (like soccer, basketball, tennis, and golf) with your friends and family represent a wonderful way to challenge your muscles. Sunlight is good for your skin and tends to uplift the mind and body. When comparing outdoor walking with walking on a treadmill, here are some differences you may not be aware of: • Outdoor walking challenges your balance and stability. • Sloped sidewalks and roads challenge your balance.
• Dodging people, their children, and their pets will help challenge a side-to-side motion as well as forward motion. • Exposure to sunlight is an easy way for you to get your daily dose of Vitamin D and some fresh air. Remember to always wear sunscreen when exercising in the sun, even on a partially cloudy day. • Being outdoors can also give you a chance you have social or family gatherings while combining physical activities.

preferable to indoor exercise for your mental and perhaps even physical state.
So what’s the bottom line? A recent study published in 2011 (Thompson Coon et al) looked at existing studies on indoor and outdoor exercises. It concluded that:
This is exactly where we come in – to help you plan a safe, effective program. We will advise you about the best indoor and outdoor exercises for your needs and help you answer the following questions:
“…most trials showed an improvement in mental well-being: compared with exercising indoors, exercising in natural environments was associated with greater feelings of revitalization, increased energy and positive engagement, together with decreases in tension, confusion, anger and depression. Participants also reported greater enjoyment and satisfaction with outdoor activity and stated that they were more likely to repeat the activity at a later date.”
Walk along the beach or ride a bicycle at a park or your favorite trail. The sounds of nature can be quite healing and offer you a peaceful experience unlike an indoor workout. Take your family to the park and try doing some jumping jacks or jump rope while your kids are on the monkey bars. Take advantage of the wide-open space and quiet moments this summer. not All exercise is
What areas of your body should you be addressing more? How do you know if your heart rate is at the level it should be? When should you challenge yourself more, and when should you bring down the intensity? Call our office today and find out how to get started with the right exercise program this summer.

Poirier Sales and Service Celebrates their 50th Anniversary The retail market has shifted dramatically over the past few decades with large chain stores literally eating up the small businesses that were historically the backbone of the economy and local communities. In Norwood, however, there is a family business that has survived industry trends
and they are now celebrating their 50th anniversary next month. Poirier Sales and Services, located at 1015 Washington St., in South Norwood, has been a local staple in town and will likely continue their market success for many years to come.

a commercial refrigeration company and transitioned to home servicing with Poirier Service Corporation in 1961. During a service call, a client asked to purchase a washing machine and grandfather Poirier took a chance and bought five and the sales model of the company began. "He took a chance and sold them the washing machine," Michael Poirier said. "Back then, that was

perienced factory-trained technicians that are knowledgeable in every area of appliance repair. "Time after time people have experienced making a phone call for assistance and are not talking necessarily with a service technician," Michael Poirier said. "You can walk to our counter and speak with the service manager. There are people here to talk to immediately and people want that. It's a valuable piece of the purchase." According to Michael Poirier, the company's success is attributed to exceptional service, competitive pricing and the customer's desire to frequent a local store. In the 1960's, Poirier joined a buyer group and that decision enhanced their buying power and gave the company an edge to their pricing. "There's a great deal of respect, they want you to compete and see we can compete," Michael Poirier said. "The perception is the box store has better buying power, but once they are in the store, they realize we are competitive and often time beat [their prices]." When discussing the success of Poirier, personal service and experience is another element that cannot be ignored. They currently employ an approximate staff of 30 people with an average length of employment ranging between 15 and 20 years. This depth of experience on the sales floor and in the service department and low turnover rate is good news for Poirier customers who benefit not only from their expertise, but also the employee's vested interest in the company. "We have hundreds of years experience on the floor," Michael Poirier said. "Somebody who is selling a washing machine was not selling lampshades last week. This is what we do, this is our livelihood." Poirier Sales and Service will be holding various anniversary events, sales and promotions throughout the remainder of the year to celebrate their five decades in business, including prices to enhance the Massachusetts Energy Rebate Program and a potential tax holiday in August. Poirier Sales and Service is located at 1015 Washington St., in South Norwood. Their phone number is 781-769-2446 or visit their website at www.poiriersales. com.

Last month, a very nice article on our Norwood Farmers’ Market appeared in the Local Town Pages, describing what can be found there and reasons to shop there. Together Yes would like to extend this discussion to concerns of sustainability. In order to do our part to save the Earth, we need to understand our shopping practices, so that we can make good decisions. AgriBUSineSS: a fairly recent concept, unless one considers feudal or sharecropping practices in history. Agribusiness is big, very big. It is farming that follows an industrial principal, and is responsible for great loss of biodiversity on Earth. The industrial model doesn’t
appear to consider the dangers of monocropping. While monocropping (growing only one plant on many acres of land, repeatedly) isn’t new, it has historically resulted in degradation of the soil. More alarming, it removes a natural immunity of crops to disease and pests. For example, one strain of potato may have immunity to a particular disease or pest, while others do not. If we grow only one type of potato, we protect against this disease/pest, but what if another type of disease or pest comes along? We have made extinct the other potatoes, some of which may have borne immunity to this next disease. No more potatoes. It’s that simple.
This industrial model poses other problems. These businesses are largely comprised of chemical companies (with their emphasis on pesticides, herbicides, and genetic modification), and there aren’t very many of them. There don’t have to be very many of them, as they are steadily establishing themselves as monopolies, driving independent farmers out of business. Norwood Farmers’ Market vendors are independent farmers, caring for their soil, so far safe from agribusiness which is kept busy monopolizing larger farms.
August 1. 2011
Norwood Farmers’ Market produce is grown within 50 miles of downtown Norwood. eCOnOMiCS AnD FinAnCeS: issues of sustainability. Scientists, social scientists, and economists advise that “getting local” will become increasingly more essential for survival. It’s a given that when we buy grocery store produce not labeled “local,” we are supporting giant, possibly multi-national businesses, rather than local business. A large percentage of the money we spend goes to the corporation at the top, and includes the brokers, transporters, and so forth. When we buy from independent farmers, 95% of what we pay actually winds up in the farmers’ hands.
FOSSil FUelS AnD POllUTiOn: problems we all worry about, knowing we must face them soon or suffer catastrophic consequences. Produce from grocery stores largely comes from a distance. It has been trucked, shipped, or flown many miles to reach us.
HeAlTH: a concern for all of us. Produce from agribusiness is only lightly regulated as to what chemi-

cals or genetic modifications have been made. Produce shipped here from other countries is even less prone to regulation by the FDA. The label “organic” can be misleading at times, as there are various levels of certification, and some organic chemicals used on crops may actually be toxic to humans. It’s safer to buy organic produce when practical, as it is likely to be far less toxic than other produce. Still, without a good deal of research, we can’t be absolutely certain of what we’re taking into our bodies. iPM (integrated Pest Management) relies on a combination of practices, including natural methods of pest control, and with an eye to the least possible hazard to people and the environment. See www.epa.gov/opp00001/factsheets/ipm.htm for more on IPM. The vendors at Norwood’s Farmers’ Market all practice IPM. If you can’t afford a $4 organic tomato, consider buying an IPM tomato from an independent farmer. Buying in season, local, and from independents is a sustainable practice. You can research further among the books and films offered at our local library. See you at the Farmers’ Market every Tuesday throughout the summer and autumn, 12-6PM, in downtown Norwood.

Forever French Makes the Small Screen Teen Spirit is a teenage Pygmalion story starring Lindsey Sommers as a shy claymation filmmaker. While Lindsey Shaw and Cassie Scerbo as Amber Pollock, the popular girl with her sights set on being prom queen. Pollock's character’s bad behavior ends badly. She is then prompted to convert Shaw internally and externally into a prom queen.
BY STAFF WRITER Many people in town frequent the Forever French nail salon and are familiar with the quality service and exceptional original products that they use to apply acrylic nails. This month, those clients and the local community who are familiar with the Forever French signs in town may do a double take if they are tuned to ABC.
While Webber was more than willing to personally demonstrate her expertise on camera, an actress will play the part as the nail technician in the movie. Unfortunately, Webber's products will be the only New England representation on the small screen.
In late March, Kerry Webber, owner of Forever French salons in Norwood and Franklin, and Forever French Nail Systems, received an unexpected call from the art department coordinator, Lindsey Suggs, of the ABC Family Original Movie ‘Teen Spirit’. During the conversation, Suggs explained she was interested in acquiring Webber's products and posters for a nail salon scene in the movie. Webber was initially cautious with the request, but after a little research, learned the validity of the offer. "I thought it was a hoax," Webber said. "I researched them to see if it
We all need a little help with exercise sometimes, whether it is to just get started or because you are working out but not achieving your desired results. A good Personal Trainer can help you safely and effectively accomplish your goals. I have been a Personal Trainer for ten years. My mother was scared to work with a Trainer and it took my father five years of convincing to get him to understand and to value the work of a Personal Trainer. If my parents, who supported two children to earn bachelors degrees in Exercise Physiology have questions about personal training, then I would imagine that most people have similar questions and judgments about the reasons to hire a Personal Trainer. Before you go and sign yourself up, be sure to check a Personal Trainer’s credentials. Look for an educational background in the health and fitness field. Not all Personal Trainer’s will have a degree in the field, but it will ensure that

they will have an extensive knowledge of the body and how it works. All Personal Trainers are required to be certified. There is a long list of approved certifications, so it is ok to ask questions or do research to confirm the validity of the certification. Experience, is great, but do not discount a freshman Trainer. As a hiring manager, I find some of the best Trainers to be the “freshman”, they are eager, determined, and full of energy. Possibly more important than years of experience is areas of specialization. If you have a specific reason for seeking a Personal Trainer, then there will be a Trainer that meets your needs and is trained and skilled in that area. Take the time to interview your Trainer, watch them as they work or if you are at a gym, speak with the Fitness Director to get guidance on choosing the right Personal Trainer. There are endless reasons to seek out a Personal Trainer. Some of the more popular reasons are: you are not seeing results, you do not

know where to start, you need to be challenged, you want to learn how to exercise on your own, you are bored with your current workouts, you need motivation, you need accountability, you have an injury or health condition, you are training for a specific sport or event, you want to be safe and need supervision. Working with a Personal Trainer should be like building a bridge to achieving your goals. Keep in mind that exercise can be a complicated journey with many factors affecting your progress. Your Trainer should help you set up a realistic time line for achieving your goals. They should act as your “cheer leader”, make your workout a fun experience and motivate you to want to push forward and achieve your goals. But, don’t take my word for it…hear what others have to say about their experience with a Personal Trainer. “Working out with a trainer at the Vanderbilt Club has made all the difference in my wellness and fitness. Weekly workouts and checkin with my trainer provide the level of accountability and motivation that was the missing piece. Not only did my strength increase but I also was able to lose 40 pounds. I know that I had to do the workouts and maintain healthy eating habits but having someone to check my progress kept me on track”. – Michelle
"They said if their nail actress didn't work out they would let me know," Webber said. "I would have been there in a heartbeat to do the movie scene." Webber opened her first Forever French nail salon in Norwood in 1990 and a second location in Franklin in 2003. When she was dissatisfied with the quality of commercial acrylic applications, “I turned to personal training to improve my golf game. I wanted to work on flexibility and core training and only intended on doing a couple of sessions. It didn’t take long to realize how beneficial it is on many levels to work with a Personal Trainer. Today, a year later, my golf game has significantly improved, I lost twelve pounds and I lowered by blood pressure and cholesterol. I learned how to live a healthier lifestyle because my Personal
she created her own products and launched Forever French Nail Systems in 2004. Her products are sold worldwide through her website and youtube. She also receives additional exposure in national magazines and trade shows. There is no financial benefit for the use of her products in the movie, but any marketer would confirm that national TV coverage could be an invaluable resource for any organization. "I hope that my products are in good view in the nail salon scene," Webber said. "That could potentially bring me tons of business." Regardless of payment, this new chapter in Webber's business is exciting and unique and a compliment to Webber's hard work and ambition throughout the past two decades in her competitive industry.

Norwood Reaches Out to Citizens in Foreclosure BY TIM DAVIS This past month the Norwood Housing Authority has teamed up with Neighborhood Housing Services of the South Shore as well as the Norfolk County Deeds office to provide open services for those who may be struggling with their mortgage payments. Pamela McCarthy, Norwood’s CDF Coordinator and Joe Madaio from NHS, met with local residents to provide counseling and services for those in need at the Maguire Housing Development in Norwood. “We try to get with at risk borrowers, people who might be struggling with their mortgages, “
said Madaio. “ We get between them and their lender so we can get them some help.” Some options for residents include a Loan Modifications, which could change the existing mortgage note and allow for a fresh new start for the borrower. However, applying for a loan modification in order to stop a foreclosure can be a lengthy and involved process. The negotiations aren’t easy and take long periods of time. While someone might be able to write an effective loan modification letter, the right things to say and the wording is key in acquiring a modification. Madaio has a firm understanding of this process and can support and help in building a
relationship between lender and borrower.
going through a rough patch. “We have a very good idea of the kind of information of what they (lenders) are looking for, “ said Madaio, “the package, the documentation, we do a little of a triage. We do not charge for our services. No one should pay to get these services.”
Besides short sales and selling your home outright in order to stop foreclosure, one might also be able to come to an Mortgage Forbearance Agreement where depending on a resident’s situation, the lender may be required to offer you a solution to repay missed payments and stop foreclosure. A borrower could request this type of payment plan from your lender’s Loss Mitigation or Mortgage Forbearance Department. A special mortgage forbearance agreement is a written repayment agreement between a lender and a mortgagor that contains a plan to reinstate a foreclosure loan that is
a minimum of three payments due and unpaid. Forbearance is not the same as loan forgiveness. Forbearance is a way for a resident to save a home from foreclosure if you are

Figuring Out Retirement BY KRISTEN ALBERINO Social Security Public Affairs Specialist in Norwood, MA For almost every American worker, Social Security is “part of the plan” for a secure retirement. If you are among the roughly 95 percent of workers in the United States who are covered under Social Security, here’s a primer on retirement coverage. When you work and pay Social Security taxes, you earn “credits” toward Social Security benefits. If you were born in 1929, or later, you need 40 credits or 10 years of work to qualify for retirement benefits. No retirement benefits can be paid until you have the required number of credits. If you stop working before you have enough credits to qualify for benefits, the credits will remain on your Social Security record. If you return to work later, you can add more credits so that you qualify. Your benefit amount is based on how much you earned during your working career. Higher lifetime earnings result in higher benefits. A worker with average earnings can expect a retirement benefit that replaces about 40 percent of his or her average lifetime earnings. Social Security was never intended to be your only source of income when you retire. You also will need other savings, investments,

vides an online Retirement Estimator to get immediate and personalized retirement benefit estimates to help you plan for your retirement. The Retirement Estimator is a convenient and secure financial planning tool, allowing you to create “what if” scenarios. For instance, you can change your “stop work” dates or expected future earnings to create and compare different retirement options. If
you have a few minutes, you have time to check it out at www.socialsecurity.gov/estimator. When you’re ready, you can apply online for retirement benefits at www.socialsecurity.gov or call our toll-free number, 1-800-7721213 (TTY: 1-800-325-0778). Or, you can make an appointment to visit any Social Security office to apply in person.

pensions, or retirement accounts to make sure you have enough money to live comfortably when you retire. Your benefit payment also is affected by the age at which you decide to retire and begin receiving benefits. If you were born in 1942 or earlier, you already are eligible for your full Social Security benefit. If you were born from 1943 to 1960, the age at which full retirement benefits are payable increases gradually to age 67. You can get Social Security retirement benefits as early as age 62, but if you retire before your full retirement age, your benefits will be reduced, based on your age. If
you retire at age 62, your benefit would be about 25 percent lower than what it would be if you waited until you reach full retirement age. You may choose to keep working even beyond your full retirement age. If you do, you can increase your future Social Security benefits — up until age 70. Choosing when to retire is an important decision, but it’s also a personal choice and one you should carefully consider. When’s the best time? There is no one-size-fits-all answer. Social Security offers a list of factors to consider in the publication When to Start Receiving Retirement Benefits at www.socialsecurity.gov/pubs/10147.html. In addition, Social Security pro-

Norwood Sports Legion Baseball Rap Up reminded them that Norwood Legion Baseball has a rich and historic history that they can hang their hat on. It was a winning formula for Post 70, as they hung on against a tough Milton team for the 4-3 win to secure a spot in the sectionals. “They are the scariest 5th seed you could possibly have on your playoff ticket,” said Samargedlis of Milton. After finishing the season in first place in the West Division of the District 6 American Legion Baseball standings, Norwood’s Post 70 headed into the tournament with a rematch from last year against Post 135 of Milton.
Cathcart went 5 innings allowing three runs and scattered five hits, and won praises from his pitching coach Joe Montesano. “He was like that all year,” said
Norwood clinging to a 4-2 lead. Samargedlis made the move to go with O’Neil in relief, hoping he could come up with the six-out save. O’Neil came up big, producing a run scoring double play and a fly out to end the threat. In the seventh, O’Neil struck out two Milton hitters, and got a big play in the field by third baseman Tyler Gover, to earn the save and propel his team into the sectionals. “Beating them was an accomplishment,” said Samargedlis. Next up for Norwood, the sectionals where Norwood earned the
Post 135, features one of the top pitchers in the region in Tuftsbound Willie Archibald while Norwood has Division 1 Player of the Year and BC- bound, as well as Red Sox draftee John Gorman.
In Game 1, of their best-of-three series against Milton, O’Neil was dominate as the Game 1 hurler, going all seven innings, allowing five hits and fanning nine Post 135 hitters, to help Norwood cruise to the easy 14-2 win. “We matched the intensity today which I am proud of,” said Samargedlis, “but we’re are not taking anything for granted, you can’t take those fourteen runs with you.” Coach Samargedlis was right, as Milton threw Archibald in Game 2. The powerful righty shut down Post 70’s offense for the 5-3 win in helping his team force a pivotal Game 3 in Norwood on July 15. Coach Samargedlis brought out his no. 3 starter in Brendan Carthcart as well as had Post 70 legendary coach Pete Wall talk to the team. Wall talked to the kids and

some adjustments.” And against a tough Medfield team, who hit three home runs, Norwood needed to score some runs, which unfortunately they were unable to do.
The Norwood Americans squad represented the Town of Norwood in this year’s tournament and was coached by Jimmy Flynn. The Americans got off to a hot start this season and had high expectations heading into the tournament.
BY TIM DAVIS Little League was in full swing this past month, and the stage could not have been any bigger in Norwood. Norwood’s own Kelly Field hosted the District 11 Little League Tournament with a dream of hopefully playing in Willamsport, Pa to represent the New England region as the team’s best Little League team.
“We really thought we had it going on in the first couple of games,” said Flynn, “ we were on fire.
“We just couldn’t get the bat on the ball,” said a dejected Gomes after the game.
into an explosive Medfield team who beat Norwood twice, the latter coming in the semi-finals of the tournament by a score of 10-0.
“Jovan threw fantastic tonight,” said Flynn,” He really let the fastball go and threw some strikes. I couldn’t have been prouder of him. I told him after the game that it was one of the best thrown games of the entire season.”

“That’s a good team we lost to, “ said Flynn, “ you have to tip your hat to them. They beat us pretty handedly twice. I got to give them credit for that.” Medfield jumped out to a 5-0 lead in the third inning when leadoff hitter Tim Difore hit a two-run home run for the early 2-0 lead. Josh Petrucci added a solo shot in what was all the offense Medfield would need that night.
FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS.
For Norwood, every hit ball was right at the Medfield defenders leading Norwood’s Jovan Gomes the tough luck pitcher of record, despite pitching brilliantly, through all 85 pitches.
Flynn praised the kids effort and performance over the short summer season, and told the boys to look forward to continue playing summer ball, which starts in late July.
Gomes showed off a array of pitches that kept Medfield off-balance in the first two innings, utilizing breaking balls as well as a knuckle ball that seem to dance across the plate on numerous occasions.
“We had a good group of kids, “ said Flynn, “ we were in the heat practicing everyday. We just ran into some good pitching.”
We tried to change things up on them,” said Flynn whose team lost to Medfield earlier in the season 15-9, “ with some off-speed stuff because they were teeing off the fastballs. We had them in the first couple of innings but they made

Kittens of the month! Yes, though bittersweet, we have them, ready for you!
Meet: Joey and Koala: These two jet black short-haired kittens are two very fun, extremely comical kittens who live with other cats, dogs and kids. So versatility is their M.O. They are lean and slick with very unique facial structures. They are siblings about14 weeks old, altered, vaccinated and ready for new homes. They would love to be adopted together or move in with other cats as they enjoy feline companionship also. Joey is a gentle little-man who requires your attention to the fullest; he wants to be loved whenever possible. Koala is sweet and curious with ants in her pants. Both kitties are located here in Norwood. Check them out.
Mango, Papaya, Kiwi and Coconut: Fruit is in season and so are these kittens; Mango, Papaya, Kiwi and Coconut. These delicious kittens could be sweet, friendly new family members this summer

Isis, Sydney, Aqua, Marina and Mel: Isis and her 4 kittens need new places to enjoy kitty-hood. Isis was a very friendly stray who was rescued from the bushes in a families yard after hanging around there for quite some time with her beautiful kittens (3 girls and 1 boy). They are all very appreciative of their new foster home but want REAL homes. Isisis young, extremely beautiful with wild markings and is a very affectionate youngcat. As an adult cat you know where Isis stands. She is wonderful with people, has lived around other cats and dogs and will really brighten up your home inso many ways.

Question: why should i pay an adoption fee at a shelter and not just get afree cat from a friend or even stranger with kittens? Answer: IF you are a responsible pet owner a FREE kitten could be right for you IF you set the spaying or neutering and all associated vaccines and treatments as a priority. As the saying goes, "Nothing is FREE", as you prepare to be a responsible pet owner you will soon learn that the cost for necessary services may be exorbitant. On the other hand, when you adopt from the Bay State Animal Cooperative we act responsibly too. Through adoption applications we try and ensure that the pet is being placed in a home withresponsible pet owners who, to the best of our screening knowledge, will provide a forever home for the pet. In addition, the adoption fee includes age appropriate vaccines, any necessary treatments for detected intestinal parasites, fleas, ear mites and ailments while in our system, along with thespay or neuter surgery for your pet. Shelters provide continued support for you and your pet and are a great resource for questions and concerns along the way through your pet ownership venture.
Bay State Animal Cooperative wants to tackle pet overpopulation more aggressively and needs your help. We are preparing to open a low-cost spay/neuter clinic in the Plymouth/Norfolk County to provide these much needed services to the communities we live. It is clear that rescue, spay/neuter and adoption are necessary and required by all shelter organizations but unfortunately this is not the answer. We have experienced what many of us in the animal rescue communities already know. For every cat we rescue, 5 new kittens are born to stray, feral or from pets owned by irresponsible pet owners, too often. We are seeking many very particular things and of course any financial donations to make this a reality sooner than later. Our business proposal will be posted
Question: Can i get a purebred dog or puppy at a shelter? Answer: Yes, when you are ready to adopt your new dog we recommend you first look at your local shelter. At your shelter they could have purebreds along with puppies for adoption. If you are looking for a particular breed “ASK” they may know of another shelter or rescue group to refer you to if they do not have it there. Like all things we seek as consumers the supply changes on a regular basis. To search for a particular breed or puppy you can also go to www.petfinder.com and insert a search. In addition, there is a rescue for many breeds please consider them before a breeder. You will be surprised as to what results youget. If you are patient and search on a regular basis the dog you want will come up over time and you will feel extra good being a part of animal rescue. Asalways, we recommend you consider a mixed breed needing your love to welcome into your awaiting family. Please think about why you want a dog and realize the breed is not what makes your dog a “family member,” place breeders on the bottom of your pet search options….Please. HELP US TRULY END THE PET OVER POPULATION CYCLE on our website at www. baystateanimals.org with all the specifics of how you can help. PLEASE help us make a difference TODAY not in the future. "My dream can become a reality in my life time, I know," says Marcia Motta, President of the BSAC of her dream to end pet overpopulation in Plymouth and Norfolk Counties of Massachusetts and continue to move forward throughout Massachusetts along with other organizations already offering these services in their communities.

home M A R K E T P L A C E Mortgage Rates Are Extremely Low!
Mortgage rates are extremely low and offer outstanding value to homebuyers and those needing to refinance their current mortgage. A drop in rates provides a tremendous boost to your purchasing power and a low monthly mortgage payment. Whether you are buying or refinancing, these historically low mortgage rates can potentially save you thousands of dollars over the life of your home loan. If your mortgage is on your mind, please call me right away to discuss your options. Rates continue to be volatile, and
this opportunity might not last long. Do not wait until next week. Whether you are looking to buy or refinance, I am here to help you save money! Call me today and let’s get started on your loan. If you know a friend, family member, work colleague or neighbor who could benefit from low mortgage rates, please forward this to them. I am here to help with professional advice and personal service! For more information or to contact Eric Douglas directly, call (617) 785.3727 or email eric.douglas@prospectmtg.com.

food and accessories for cats, dogs, birds and small animals are picked up in Boston and transported to Norwood where the food is distributed to local non-profit animal organizations and the Norwood Food Pantry.
