Carillon Bells Concerts on the Common
3rd Annual St. Catherine of Siena School 5k Road Race/Walk
You've probably heard them while driving or walking around Norwood Town Hall. The sweet, delicate sound of bells. You may have even looked up to the majestic Tilton Memorial Carillon to catch a glimpse of the origin of the music, maybe wondering about the framework of these lovely sounds.
The runners/walkers take off at the St. Catherine of Siena School 5k Road/Walk Race.
One hundred and eighty runners and/or walkers participated in the 3rd Annual St. Catherine of Siena School 5k Road Race/Walk that was held on Saturday, June 4. Mother Nature thankfully cooperated and provided ideal conditions for the participants with temperatures comfortably in the 70s and everyone involved had a great time while raising money for St. Catherine of Siena School (SCS).
Proceeds from the race and silent auction raised $3,000 and will be used to purchase chairs for the school auditorium and donated to the music department. The entire event was a complete success thanks to all who contributed their time, including SCS students and parents, Xaverian Brothers students, other volunteers who assisted with route control, the bouncy houses and calling out times at the finish line
and the SCS girl scout group who manned the water station. Professional race timing was provided by Harrier Race Management. Congratulations to everyone who participated and to those who won or placed in the event: top three women finishers: Maria Varela (first place overall), Kim Chula-Maguire and Jenny Cunningham; top three men finishers: Bill Wardyga, Matthew Gallant and George Mix.; overall top stu-
dent finisher: Danny Farrell; top three male students: Nate Newman, Josh Ostrom and Colin Faherty and top three female students: Isabella Scuderi, Barbara Thissell and Jillian Skerry. The race was coordinated by several St. Catherine of Siena parent volunteers who are running enthusiasts themselves and have participated in numerous

The carillon is a unique musical mechanism composed of at least 23 bells that are systemically arranged to produce a unique harmony with a strike of a keyboard and foot pedal. The greatest concentration of carillon bells is in the low countries of Europe and were first produced during the Bronze Age. While their popularity almost died by the 19th century, they experienced a revival in the 20th century. According to the Guild of Carillonneurs of North America, the Tilton Memorial Carillon is one of only eight monuments housing this instrument in New England. Another interesting fact and additional gem to our Town is that Norwood is one of only four towns in New England this year that is offering registered carillon recitals. Throughout the summer, the soothing sounds of the carillon can be heard on the Town Common on Monday evenings, 7-8 p.m.

Norwood 4th of July Events The 4th of July is usually considered the unofficial the start of summer, and what better way to celebrate than with some good oldfashioned 4th of July activities right here in town?. Norwood really goes all out during this holiday and offers two days of activities for the entire family to enjoy. The celebrations begin with a concert on the common on Sunday, July 3, 7-9 p.m. The Bridgewater Antiphonal Society will perform outstanding renditions of patriotic and show tunes that will surely encourage some community sing-a-longs. While the late afternoon parade is the main event of the day, don't overlook the charming Children's Bicycle, Tricycle, Doll Carriage and Historic Character Parade that begins at 1 pm., on Monday, July 4. Children and their imaginations are the center attraction for this procession as they strut through downtown showing off their festive bikes, carriages and costumes for all of Norwood to enjoy. This family-fun event begins at the First Congregational Church at Walpole and Winter Streets and continues
down Washington St. to the Town Common where awards are given and refreshments served. From 3 to 4 p.m., there will be tours of the Tilton Memorial Carillon and a carillon concert featuring Adrian Gebruers of Cobh, County Cork, Ireland. The start signal goes off at 5 p.m. for the famous Norwood Firecracker 5K Road Race. Applications are available at Town Hall, the Civic Center, the Morrill Memorial Library or the Town Common before the race. This race is thoroughly enjoyed by both the runners and their fans and parade spectators can arrive a little early and cheer on their neighbors and they run through town and prep the crowd for the evening's star-spangled event! The parade starts at 5:30 p.m. with the Eastern Massachusetts Fire Truck, Antique and Classic Car and WWII and Korean War Military Re-enactor Procession. At 5:45 p.m., the famous 4th of July Parade begins with national and international marching bands, entertaining acts, floats, military units,
community groups and local politicians. The route begins at the Coakley Middle School, travels through South Norwood, up Washington St., by the Town Common and ends at the Shaws Plaza.

Together Yes believes that sustainability includes health, finance/economics, social concerns, and environment. The toxicity of our environment and even of certain children’s toys, the present and future results of accelerated climate change, and the economic
upheaval of recent years mean that we need to help one another, and now! We can begin this work together by choosing to do so, or we can wait until circumstances limit our options. While everyone is invited to use the website and to contribute their own words, we hope Norwood residents, businesses, and civic and youth organizations will join as members. This can be done through the website or by emailing us at: sustain@tgryes.org Membership carries no dues or fees, and there are no meetings, so Together Yes can fit into your life however you need. We communicate largely through the website and email. We welcome advice, questions, and suggestions, and hope to hear from you.

We can discover ways to make the difference, and we will feel some relief from the anxiety our increasing awareness can bring. Activism breeds optimism.

carillon but has less than 23 bells is called a chime. Several different types of playing mechanism are used in chimes, and the musical capabilities are distinctly less. However, the quality of those bells need not be less, and indeed there have been many instances where good-quality chimes were eventually enlarged to become carillons. Although chimes are found in as many parts of the world as carillons are, there was a uniquely American development of them in the 19th century. About 700 are known in North America, and more than 500 in the rest of the world; they can also be found through the Tower Directory.

About Carillons The world's greatest concentration of carillons is still in the Low Countries of Europe (Belgium, The Netherlands, northern France and northwest Germany). The art of the carillon has spread world wide, however, with instruments on every continent except Antarctica. More than 180, of all levels of quality, exist in North America; they are listed in the Tower Directory. Elsewhere in the world, more than 450 exist, and they can also be found through the Tower Directory. All are identified there as "traditional carillons".
Washington & Nahatan Streets, Norwood MA - Monday Evening 7:00 PM - 8:00 PM June 27th Lee B. Leach, Norwood, Massachusetts All concerts are rain or shine. Best listening spots are on the Town Common or in the upper parking lot behind the Town Hall

off Central Street. Tours of the bell-tower are available after most concerts. Norwood's Fifty-Bell Memorial Carillon was cast by Gillett and Johnston, Bellfounders, Croydon, England and, together with the Norwood Memorial Building and Tower, was dedicated on Armistice Day, November 11, 1928. The instrument was a gift to his fellow townspeople from the late Walter F. Tilton, a prominent local banker and civic leader. The Carillon Concert Series is sponsored by the Town of Norwood and by a special gift from the Norwood Women's Community Committee, and by private donations to the Town’s Carillon Fund. This year’s series is also supported in part by a grant from the Norwood Cultural Council, a local agency that is supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency. Visit the The Guild of Carillonneurs in North America (GCNA) to find more information.
An instrument which is like a carillon in terms of the number of bells, but which has only automatic action, is often loosely called a carillon. These can also be found through the Tower Directory, where they are identified as "nontraditional carillons".

3. Viral infections 4. High doses of certain antibiotics 5. Stroke 6. Degeneration of the inner ear's balance function, also known as the vestibular system (which often deteriorates with age). Inner-ear problems can manifest themselves in different ways. Some symptoms include dizziness, nausea and blurred vision. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not uncommon for individuals with dizziness to go from one doctor to another in an attempt to find a solution.
*(7 1' 7,&.(7 35,&(
Almost everyone experiences a few seconds of dizziness at some point in their lives. Do you remember your childhood days when you would spin round and round until you got dizzy and had to wait a few seconds till the â&#x20AC;&#x153;world stopped spinningâ&#x20AC;?? It was fun back then, but when it occurs â&#x20AC;&#x153;out of the blueâ&#x20AC;?, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something to be concerned about.
Symptoms of inner ear disorders may be mild (lasting only seconds or minutes) or severe (resulting in total disability).
Be warned â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the first few days of exercise might make the dizziness worse before it starts to get better. In this case, physical therapy can essentially â&#x20AC;&#x153;recalibrateâ&#x20AC;? the inner ear system. Talk to one of our highly qualified physical therapists to determine how we can help you.
Common causes include:
A Word Of Caution
â&#x20AC;˘ Inner ear disorder or ear infection
If any of the following applies to you, CALL YOUR DOCTOR:
â&#x20AC;˘ Flu or the common cold â&#x20AC;˘ Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV; this is the most common cause, may be accompanied by hearing loss and muscle weakness) â&#x20AC;˘ Ear infection, head injury and whiplash are common in younger individuals
â&#x20AC;˘ You experience dizziness without warning â&#x20AC;˘ Some medicines cause you to feel dizzy â&#x20AC;˘ Your previous symptoms are different now â&#x20AC;&#x201C; like lasting longer or more acute than before â&#x20AC;˘ You experience hearing loss
According to the NIH, 85% of equilibrium problems have to do with the inner ear. Other causes include a stroke, multiple sclerosis, seizures and brain tumor.
If you suffer from dizziness and also have any of the following, call 911 or go to the emergency room:
Supervised Exercise -Your Treatment For Dizziness
â&#x20AC;˘ Fever over 101°F or 38°C
Exercise might not be the first thing you think about when it comes to treating dizziness or vertigo, but it plays a crucial role.

Norwood Farmer's Market Now Open! Hospital Offers Happy Baby Workshop It's back! It was hard to even imagine the sumptuous flavors of fresh produce that would grow beneath the mounds of snow this past winter, but mother nature always finds a way to reverse its seasons and the Norwood Farmer's Market has now returned to provide those sweet and crisp fruits and vegetables to its awaiting customers.
Now in its 16th year, the market, located in the municipal parking lot behind Babels, will be home to approximately seven growers every Tuesday through October 25, from 1-6 p.m., rain or shine. Each afternoon, Norwood residents have the opportunity to greet local farmers and reap the benefits of their hard labor by purchasing fruits, vegetables, potted herbs, bread and fresh fish. "They actually get to meet the farmers," Farmer's Market coordinator and owner of Paradise Hill Farm in Westport Shirley Robbins said. "The farmers that are there are also the farmers that work the farm. If people have questions on how we grow, varieties, etc., the farmers are actually there." According to Town Planner Steve Costello, several hundred customers frequent the Farmer's Market each Tuesday, and judging from the continuing stream of customers each year and the returning farmers, the relationship is strong and faithful. "I'm quite certain people are sad to have them leave but it is great to see them return each spring," Costello said. "We are glad to have such a loyal bunch of farmers and buyers." In the beginning stages, six or seven vendors will arrive in Norwood each week with healthy crops of early summer seasonal items, such as herbs, strawberries and lettuces and other flavorful items and later in the season, an abundance of corn, cucumbers, tomatoes, melons and peaches will also be available. While some may visit the farmer's market for its fresh produce, some potential customers may be economically guarded and may steer their cars instead to the local grocery store. Robbins regularly compares farmstand prices with a local Norwood supermarket and answers the bigger question: the farmer's prices are competitive and sometimes lower than the supermarket. "Compared to local supermarkets, we are right in line with
them," Robbins said.
Local farmers, as small independent businesses, continually struggle to maintain an important presence in the local market and
patronage to neighboring farmers markets is an excellent and cost-effective solution for both the consumer and the business. "Buy local and support your local farms," Robbins said. "Without farms there would be no food. I think a lot of people don't realize that. It's not bad to supplement your fruit and vegetable diet, but buy local for freshness and support the local farmer."
Years ago, the market was centrally located on the Town Common and talk has been initiated in the Selectmen's office about possibly moving the market to a more visible area, however, this year it
will remain in the spacious parking lot between Cottage and Nahatan Sts., which gives distinct parking and transporting advantages for the customers. "In a recent meeting, Selectmen made a suggestion to move them [market] to a better location and is hopeful to find a spot that is highly visible and user friendly to the merchants," Costello said. "It could tie into downtown activities and downtown events."

Norwood High Graduate Becomes an Orthodontist On May 20, 2011 Dr. Jasun Mahaffey of Norwood completed the Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics Program of the Boston University Henry M. Goldman School of Dental Medicine.
54th sits across the street from the Massachusetts State House at the top of the Boston Commons.
Dr. Mahaffey is a graduate of Norwood High School class of 2000 where he was the blocking fullback for future NFL player, Alfred Fincher. Jasun scored 9 touchdowns himself that year and even though undersized at 170lbs., he was also a starting defensive end. He was a 4 year wrestler and captain of the wrestling team where he advanced to the state tournament. While a student at the Prescott Elementary School in 1989 Jasun, along with his brother Damien and his father, also appeared in the movie “Glory”, the acclaimed film about the all black 54th Massachusetts Infantry Regiment that fought during the Civil War. A beautiful bronze relief commemorative sculpture of the
Dr. Mahaffey graduated Cum Laude from Tufts University in 2004 and Cum Laude from the Boston University Henry M. Goldman School of Dental Medicine in 2009 where he received his DMD. There he was one of only two dentists in his graduating class

accepted into an Orthodontic program. Dr. Mahaffey credits his success to the support and encouragement he has received over the years from his parents, Bruce and Beverly Mahaffey, his brothers, Maceo, Damien and James and the teachers, coaches (especially Mike McDonough and Mike Mahoney) and staff throughout the Norwood Public School System. He said the discipline that he learned that was necessary to enable him to play sports, while maintaining his academic course load, was a major factor in sustaining him during the past 11 years of study. Dr. Mahaffey is considering several opportunities to begin his practice, including working with his uncle, Dr. Robert Ray, Orthodontist, in Washington, DC and is looking forward to bringing better health and dental care to any community he serves.
Our Junior Girl Scout Troop (Troop 74248) collected cookies for the soliders as one of our community service projects this year. Ted Mulvehill Jr., Director of Norwood Veterans Services agreed to deliver the cookies to the soldiers for us. Ted also met the girls and gave them a tour of the town hall (showing them all the memorials) and the

Will Medicare Or Medicaid Pay For Your Alzheimer’s Care? By Dennis B. Sullivan, Esq., CPA, LL M Do you know the difference between Medicare and Medicaid? For EVERY senior it is vital to know the difference. Your future may depend on it. According to the World Alzheimer Report 2010, Alzheimer's disease is taking a terrible toll worldwide. According to Dr. Daisy Acosta of Alzheimer’s Disease International, “This is a wake-up call that Alzheimer's disease and other dementias are the single most significant health and social crisis of the 21st century.” What’s even worse is that dementia is on the rise, and in the US almost half the seniors over age 80 have this tragic disease. Dementia puts a great strain on a family’s finances and the loved ones likely serving as caregivers. For more information about what you can do to make your life as a caregiver better today, read our free Alzheimer's Resource Guide, available on our website, or request it on the reverse side. For options on how to pay for care, please call our office. So what does this have to do with
Medicare & Medicaid? Medicare is a type of public health insurance for those age 65 and older. Many seniors don’t realize that Medicare does not pay for long-term care. The confusion is easy to understand because Medicare does pay for rehabilitation. So, if a senior citizen is enrolled in the traditional Medicare plan and is hospitalized for a stay of at least three days and is then admitted into a skilled nursing facility, Medicare may pay - for a short while. But once those Medicare benefits hit 100 consecutive days, you've hit the maximum. In some cases, Medicare may not even cover the full 100 days. The criterion is that there must be some actual improvement to your condition, otherwise Medicare will decide that it is a long-term care need, and they'll cut you off. Since diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's have no known cure today, rehabilitation is not possible, so Medicare will not pay for nursing home care if you have Alzheimer's or Parkinson's. Unlike Medicare, Medicaid will pay for Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, or dementia-related diseases, or a decline in functioning due to the

aging process. You must, however, exhaust all your resources (including your spouse's) before you will be eligible, that is unless you take steps to protect your home, spouse and life-savings so you can avoid nursing home poverty. We can help. To learn more, call our office. Medicaid is paid for by both federal and state funds but is administered on a state level. The federal government covers between 5080% of the program costs, and the state pays the rest. Rules can vary from state to state (even county to county) rather dramatically. However, on the positive side, the law enables you to take steps to protect your home, life-savings and spouse so they are not impoverished if you go to a nursing home. So, as you can see, Medicare is health insurance, and Medicaid is public long-term care coverage, but often there are stages in between that require examination and discussion. For more information, available from www.DSullivan, download our free elder guide The Massachusetts Elder Guide to Medicaid, Nursing Homes and Asset Protection, Nursing Homes and Asset Protection or watch our educational video on How To Avoid Nursing Home Poverty.

2011 Norwood TONY Award Recipient: Alexandra Carey 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. 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 award also include an additional $500 savings bond.
Carey’s eighth grade project was assisting the reading specialist at the Prescott School, her alma mater, for six hours, but she found the project so rewarding, she continued to help out for the next three years. From then, Carey discovered many ways to share her skills and assist others in her school and community.
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, Alexandra Carey, is the fifth student profile in our TONY Award series. Norwood High School graduate Alexandra Carey has devoted a lot of her time helping others. She was formally introduced to local charitable work through her community service requirements during eighth grade at the Coakley Middle School. From then on, there was no stopping her. For the past five years, Carey has volunteered at numerous organizations and has given her time in educational and communal area, both locally and for national organizations. For her numerous selfless contributions, Carey was awarded the 2011 Norwood TONY Award.
In Carey’s sophomore year, she volunteered her time in various organizations, such as Earth Day at the Prescott School and committing her entire summer to helping the Norwood Food Pantry. She also participated in the 20-mile Walk for Hunger and the Walk for Cystic Fibrosis, and for the past three years, participated in the 24hour Relay For Life walk. Carey has stretches her efforts beyond Norwood to surrounding
communities and helped to sanitize a West Roxbury community center and last summer spent a week teaching autistic children how to cut down trees at Hale Reservation and another week helped transport harvesting beetles to a nearby farm. Even with Carey's tremendous amount of charitable time, she still managed to maintain excellent grades and participated on various school clubs and activities. She was a member of the National Honor Society, the Spanish National Honor Society, National Art Honor Society and played for the Norwood field hockey team the past three years. In her senior year, she earned the Athlete of the Week and Bay State League First Team All Star, and was a member of SADD, the Post-Prom committee, the Friendship Club, the Spirit Club and the Norwood Haunted House committee. She has also earned many awards in each of her high school years and was elected the Norwood High School Student of the Month. Carey is heading to Providence College in the fall and already looks forward to participating in the many extra-curricular activities the school offers. She plans to major in mathematics and will likely pursue a career in the actuarial field. "I would work for insurance companies and figure out through statistics when they should raise their rates," Carey said. "I would love it."

Uncertainty somewhere along this line there was disconnect between what fit and what felt. there was a snap of uncertainty, and a tear to threads of hesitation, as we fell in tune. what passes between us now is weighted with uncertainty but the warmth of eyes says more than all fumbling, wordless words. in liquid form, the world that transpired into marmalade orange, the traces of the sun that sparked our way. we were off-balance and now we teeter with the breeze

PET CORNER Ask The Shelter Q: So what is a TOM cat? A: To some this is simple but to all. A Tom cat is a name given to a male un-neutered cat that roams the neighborhoods we live in. These cats may or may not be owned. Tom cats may be very nice cats to their owners and even to others but their behaviors when allowed to prowl the streets are far from gentlemen-like. These cats are usually very mischievous. Since they are un-neutered they roam to seek out un-spayed female cats in heat to mate. They usually fight with other male cats over territory and mates. Due to the existence of large quantities of these cats in places where feral and stray cats exist their behaviors lead many people to dislike cats. The spread of unwanted cat diseases, not contagious to humans, is greater among Tom cats and their presence becomes disturbing. We, as intelligent human beings are responsible for the existence of Tom cats and we are capable and intelligent enough to neuter or spay all
cats in our communities for the well-being of our cat friends which will eliminate this unwanted cat habit and stigma. Spay or neuter all cats, keep them indoors as healthy, safe house pets and for those freeroaming, community cats, be responsible and seek trap-neuterreturn assistance. Ask us how you can help accomplish that. Q: So I found a mother cat and kittens in my back yard what can I do to help them? A: There are many things you can do. First, evaluate the situation. Is the mother friendly? Where is she living and where are the kittens living? Is it a safe place, away from predators, warm or cool? Does she have a food source, if so where is it? If not, can and will you provide one for her and the kittens? Once you have determined that she is stray and now that you know she is not spayed it is time to take action to address this “community issue”. Ignoring it will only make it grow bigger. Feed her and the
babies in a safe place during day light hours. Remove food in late evening and overnight as not to encourage other animals to come to the food source. Supply food (wet and dry) and water. Try to feed wet on a regular schedule as this helps with the cat rescue procedure. Observe if the babies eat or not, hence determining their approximate age and whether or not they can survive without their mother. In the meantime contact a “no-kill” shelter like the Bay State Animal Cooperative to assist you in the rescue process. Removing the cats is not always possible depending on the nature of the cat(s), age, and the ability of the shelter to take in the cats BUT there are many options you can be a part of. That is how rescue works! You may need to provide some resources to assist the group with the rescue but remember it is everyone’s problem and ignoring it will only allow it to become a larger problem over a short time. In most cases, the mom is trapped and spayed and either
adopted out of your home, a foster home or the yard, the kittens are trapped, fostered in a caged environment when necessary and adopted to qualified, screened forever homes. Kittens will be altered and vaccinated by the shelter group, who will ask for a monetary donation from the adopter to pay for these expenses. Help us help you and the cats and it is a win/win situation. Thanks for asking as this is a common problem this time of year. See some of our kittens for adoption: Email us if you are interested in adoption. Some of these kittens are available for viewing at our adoption center at PetsMart in Brockton. Make appointment to meet these kittens today! Complete our application on our website and email it to us if you are interested in adopting any one of these great kittens. We will contact you to set up a time to meet these kittens.
Thank you to the Dedham Institute for Savings Foundation for their recent grant donation of $2,000 to assist us in our mission, it is greatly appreciated. Every dollars helps. Foster care desperately needed and donations to our clinic fund is welcomed, visit our website for information regarding the clinic project to be posted very soon. Donate on line through Pay Pal.

Norwood Sports Despite Tourney Loss, the Future Looks Bright for Mustang Baseball BY TIM DAVIS
The Mustangs only graduate one senior from this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s infield. Giving great hope to a team that gave Xaverian their toughest game through the post-season before they fell to Franklin, 6-5, in the sectional final, for Division 1.
The future looks bright for the Norwood Baseball team as they wrapped their season this month with a tough loss to South Sectional Finalist, Xaverian, 7-6. Despite the loss the Mustangs showed great fight and never backed down from the baseball powerhouse Hawks.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had guys who were learning on the fly,â&#x20AC;? said Sweeney, â&#x20AC;?I think when the guys started getting comfortable, and winning a few games they matured a lot over the second half, the second half was very positive.â&#x20AC;?
They didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t (quit), said Norwood skipper James Sweeney,â&#x20AC;? they kept fighting and clawing back and just came up a little short.â&#x20AC;? #20 Tommy Munro looking to steal at The Mustangs finished the second base
season, (10-11) overall but qualified for post-season play by beating the same Xaverian team a week earlier, 5-4. In the latest Xaverian game, the Hawks jumped out to an early 3-0 lead after four innings despite a strong pitching performance from Norwood senior James Bussiere. But in typical Mustang fashion, they battled back in the bottom half of the inning to tie the game at 3-3. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The game itself epitomized how they played the entire season,â&#x20AC;? said Norwood skipper James Sweeney, â&#x20AC;&#x153;we came back and played well from behind and pulled out some games.â&#x20AC;? Coach Sweeney saw this year as a success, despite the youth movement that went on in the infield. Winning seven out of ten down the stretch to get that coveted playoff
berth would make any coach happy and the Mustangs were able to do that this season.
Expect more of the same this offseason as a majority of the Nor-
wood nine will be playing legion ball this summer and getting some key reps in order to make a deep playoff run despite playing in a higher division than they need to. (Division 1) Next year the Mustangs will turn to both junior Sean Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Neil, who batted .359 this year and was named a Bay State first team all-star, as was sophomore Anthony Perriello who batted a hefty .359 and lead the team with 17 RBIâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s while bating clean-up. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are a young group, they got to learn and try to improve everyday and I think they will be in good shape,â&#x20AC;? #8 Tyler Gover crosses the plate. said Sweeney.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just being young, we got used to playing in tight games and we responded by winning seven out of the next ten, to put us in the tournament,â&#x20AC;? said Sweeney.

The Mustangs are cluttered with sophomores and juniors who had little or no experience at the varsity level.

Norwood Sports Norwood’s State Title Hopes Fall Short Against King Phillip BY TIM DAVIS The Norwood 11’ girls will go down as one of the greatest athletic classes in Norwood sports history. Despite falling one overtime game
short on reaching the “Garden” final in Division 2 state girl’s hockey. The girl’s also fell just short of winning a softball state title when they lost a hard fought 4-2 game against most-likely state
champ King Phillip in Taunton on June 10th. “We came out here trying our best,” said Hockey and Softball Player of the Year Ali Maloof, “they (King Phillip) are a very good team, you have to give it up to them.” You have to give it up to Maloof who was nothing short of spectacular in both the girl’s hockey tournament and softball tournament, where she pitched extremely well in all three tournament wins over Somerset, Silver Lake, and New Bedford. Before the King Phillip game, softball head coach Carol Savino praised Ali’s ability as one of the best pitchers especially in comparison to KP’s Megan Rico who has received notable press as well over the course of their undefeated season.
“She (Rico) has a lot of movement on the ball and in our league there is not a lot of pitchers with that, so we weren’t really ready for that,” said Maloof. KP added a run in the first on a triple and a push bunt, and in the third when KP’s Anna Kelly doubled in a run to make it 2-0. KP’s pitching of both Rico and Meg Carnese rivaled Norwood’s aces of Lauren Duggan and Maloof. This season KP allowed only three runs all year and zero in the tournament before the Norwood game. The Mustangs managed to score off the stingy Warriors when Maloof lead off with a walk and stole
Maloof rounding third for a run in the post-season
both second and third. On her steal attempt at third base the KP catcher threw the ball away, allowing Maloof to score the first run off KP.
“All we hear is Megan Rico, Megan Rico, Megan Rico, I say Ali Maloof is as good as Megan Rico, in my mind as coach,” said Savino.

Sophomore Kayla Garczynski led off the sixth with a double, down the left-field line, and after a Maloof sacrifice, Garczynski scored on a Sarah Eckhardt bunt for Norwood’s final run. It was the only substantial hit all game against Rico. “They had a great game,” said Savino, “ They haven’t seen a Rico before, Megan is a great pitcher.” Besides graduating Maloof, who leaves Norwood High as one of the best in school history, the softball team also graduates all-star Duggan who will be playing softball at the University of Connecticut next year. Other Norwood seniors from this year’s (21-1) team saying good-bye are Eckhardt, Katelyn Trask, and Casey Ducharme.

Nature Calls
Butterflies – Short Lived Beauties BY AMY BEAUMONT As advanced insects, butterflies put on quite a show from their start as an egg, all the way to their emergence as an amazing, beautiful flying jewel. The facts on butterflies are equally amazing; there are over 24,000 butterflies worldwide, which include sizes from 1/8 inch all the way up to 12 inches. There is certainly an ugly stage along the way though – that of the caterpillar (larva) which includes the feeding and growth stage. From here, the caterpillar sheds its skin four or more times in an effort to enclose its rapidly expanding body. Next comes the chrysalis, which is the transformation stage. During this time the caterpillar tissues are broken down and the adult butterfly structures form. After a period of around 8 – 12 days, butterflies and moths emerge from the chrysalis and hit the road. Also making the same transformation are moths. Both are insects of course, and there are several ways to tell the difference between the two. Generally speaking, most butterflies
fly during the day and moths at night. An easier way to spot the difference is the way the wings rest – butterflies rest their wings upright, whereas moths spread theirs out. Also differentiating the two is body structure – butterflies tend to have smooth, slender bodies whereas moths tend to be plump and fuzzy. Neither butterflies or moths have much time though – an average monarch butterfly typically lives 2 to 6 weeks, although the last generation of the year can live up to 9 months. For those individuals that want the full butterfly experience, a trip to the Butterfly Place in Westford, MA is in order. The facility boasts both native and tropical species of butterflies and moths, and features several koi ponds. For the shutterbugs out there, the Butterfly Place offers ample opportunity to get great shots of these short-lived beauties. Amy Beaumont is a portrait photographer and freelance writer.

The American Bungalow The American Bungalow, or Craftsman home, grew out of the Arts and Crafts Movement of the late 19th century. The movement rejected the Industrial Revolution’s increasingly ornate machine made products and the overly decorated, impractical architecture of the Victorian era. The word “bungalow” originates in India and refers to a simple, low-built structure with porches on the outside. The American Bungalow emphasized a visibly sturdy structure, clean lines, natural materials, simplicity and efficiency. Use of space was maximized by clustering the kitchen, dining area, bedrooms and bathrooms around a central living area. The American Bungalow also reflected a changing America — members of a growing middle class who sought an affordable home of their own where they could raise a family. This meant a floor plan integrating the kitchen with the common areas providing easy sight lines of the dining and living rooms so one could easily watch the children while preparing meals.

The American Bungalow was immensely popular. Kit homes that suppliers could ship anywhere in the country led to “bungalow mania” in the 1910s and 1920s. Sears was the most prominent supplier of these kits and reportedly sold more than 100,000 homes between 1908 and 1940. Sears bungalows are now highly prized by bungalow enthusiasts. The American Bungalow has a distinctive style: a low, gently slopping roof, usually one story (some Bungalows have attics and dormer windows), wide overhanging eaves, exposed rafters (rafter tails), an incised porch (set beneath the roof) and tapered or square pillars (corbels) supporting the roof. Throughout the interior, designers showcased the wooden craftsmanship with exposed beam ceilings and built-in cabinetry, shelves and benches.
