Santa was a very busy man lastmonth, especially here in Nor-wood. Wearing his classic plushvelvet suit and a bright jolly grin,the man of the hour greeted ex-cited Balch students from atop aNorwood fire truck when he ar-rived at the Balch School HolidayPancake Breakfast on Saturday,December 3.

The longstanding holiday tra-dition is coordinated by the BalchPTA to support the school butmore importantly, according toparent volunteer Lisa Tarabelli, itprovides the Balch communitywith a chance to slow down dur-ing the busy holiday season andgather for a festive morning.

“It is so nice to get together witheveryone, even if it is only for acouple hours, and the kids reallylove it. They enjoy having break-fast with each other, the music isbeautiful, and the little ones lovethe crafts,” Tarabelli said whileassisting with the most antici-pated moment of the morning,pictures with the man himself.

The Fifth Grade Chorus set thespirit of the season in Santa hats,reindeer ears, and even a few jin-

gle bells as they opened themorning by performing classicholiday carols under the directionof music teacher Mr. ThomasDugan. Songs such as Jingle

Bells, Rudolph the Red NosedReindeer and Winter Wonderlandfilled the room as students, par-ents and faculty enjoyed home-made pancakes and sausages

prepared by parent volunteers.Paul Jurgelewicz and OscarBautista worked hard flipping

Current and former Balch stu-dents also helped with the event,

continuing the spirit of giving untoothers that was noticeablethroughout town all month. Eight-year old Luke Reynolds served asSanta’s helper, while MirandaLee, also 8, handed out candycanes to the children and formerBalch student Lauren Shanahan,13, assisted PTA president TraceyJones and Tarabelli with photos.

Children eagerly awaited theirmoment with the big man. Beforesmiling for the camera, little oneswhispered their dreams andwishes into his ear, and everyonewalked away with a smile.

Six-year old Keira Dent is hop-ing for a Princess Tree Castlewhile her friend Samantha Magansaid, “I don’t understand whySanta wears all red,” before run-ning off to color Christmas crafts.

“I have been very busy, verybusy this week and my elves arehard at work back at the shop.There have been lots of requestsfor IPods and IPod-touches,”Santa said. Reynolds leaned overto Santa and reminded him of hisrequest, “Oh yes, that’s right andLegos, it’s nice when the childrenrequest good old-fashioned toys.”

The PTA served approximately300 breakfasts “with great partici-pation in the sale of raffle and craftactivities, raising $1000.00 to-wards future activities and enrich-ment programs for the students,”according to Jones.

The Balch PTA would like to ex-tend their sincere thanks to Mc-Donalds, Burger King, Lamberts,and Roche Bros. for generouslydonating food items and gift cardstowards the purchase of the break-fast item and refreshments, and the

many local companies who kindlydonated items for the raffle prizescontributed to a successful andmemorable morning.

The Every So Humble Pie Com-pany, the leading choice for localresidents for their pies and sweets,reached out to the community lastfall as a channel for citizens tothank and assist their troops over-seas. Humble Pie owner AndreaTaber, a member of the Friendsand Family of the 182nd (FF-182),sold shortbread cookies made byFancypants Baking Company inWalpole in the shape of the FF-182logo with a blank sticker on theback to write a personal messageor note of appreciation to a soldier.The outreach and postal fundraiserwas an almost immediate successselling 438 cookies and raising justover $1,600 to help pay shippingcosts for just over 350 care pack-ages to the Battalion in Kabul,Afghanistan containing gentlyused hats, gloves and scarves forAmerican troops to disperse toneedy Afghanistan children.

"I have a tremendous amount ofpeople coming through our storebefore Thanksgiving and I saw it

as the perfect opportunity to bringexposure to this campaign," Tabersaid. "Organizer Brian Connorgave us one case of 120 cookies tooffer to our customers - we soldout in 48 hours! Then he broughtus another and another and finallyhe dropped off whatever they hadleft!"

Humble Pie customers wel-comed the opportunity to supportthe soldiers deployed away fromhome and their support and goodwishes will be most appreciated bythe troops and the Afghanistan cit-izens.

"We were blown away by thepositive response we got from ourcustomers," Taber said. "We arevery grateful for their generosityand willingness to do somethingfor our military, especially at this

time of year when they are sepa-rated from their loved ones."

There are nearly 700 soldiers thatmake up the 1-182nd InfantryRegiment First Battalion Massa-chusetts Army National Guard.Between Veterans Day andThanksgiving, the Regiment'sfamilies and local residents, organ-izations, restaurants and businessessuch as Humble Pie contributedclothing and monetary donationsand held fundraising events be-tween late October and Thanks-giving. These humanitarian effortswill make a difference to Afghancivilians and the soldiers who areworking so hard to not only defendtheir country and the United Statesbut to create an air of goodwill thatwill hopefully last beyond their de-ployment.

the cuts and an explanation ofwhat will happen next. Represen-tative Lynch was also happy to re-port that Norwood recentlyreceived federal grants to repairand improve the town’s airport.Norwood received $572,000 forcovering costs associated to re-place outdated taxiways and run-ways, and a reconstruction grantof $763,000 covering 95% of therenovation project for the airport.

Articles of note this evening in-cluded a proposal to allow the Per-manent Building ConstructionCommittee to build a concessionstand and restrooms at NorwoodHigh School, an appropriation topurchase new motorcycles for theNorwood Police Department anda proposal to purchase a fire truckfor more than $1.1 million. Theproposal to build a concessionstand at Norwood High Schoolwas contested on size of the con-cession stand and the source of thefunds for the stand.

Many meeting members sup-ported the concession stand itself,but felt that the funding for thestand should come from donations

or corporate sponsor-ship, rather than expend-ing some of the unusedmoney borrowed for thehigh school constructionproject. Alan Slater,from district 4, notedthat other projects thatcould be financed withunused school funds re-turned to the generalbudget, including pay-ment for the ambulancerecently purchased forthe fire department, orother essential core serv-ices rather than a conces-sion stand that would notbe widely used by thetown. Eventually themeasure to expand theauthority to build theconcession stand wasapproved.

Some questions aroseover the $168,000 ap-propriation for newequipment and motorcy-cles, Richard Shay fromDistrict 1 asked, “Whydoes the Police Depart-ment need motorcyclesif there aren’t any partsof the town that are notcar accessible—espe-

cially since motorcycles are notparticularly safe vehicles?” Chiefof police Bartley King Jr. ex-plained that the motorcycles arevery gas efficient and do not re-quire as much maintenance as po-lice cruisers, and can be useful toget to areas of town with trafficcongestion. Chief King also ex-plained that motorcycles are use-ful for police escort duties and foraugmenting available vehicles onbusy days such as the 4th of July.

The Town Meeting membersalso approved a warrant articlethat allots $1.3 million for a newaerial ladder truck for the Nor-

wood Fire Department. This arti-cle initially allotted $1.1 millionfor the purchase, but an amend-ment to approve an additional$200,000 to allow for more laddertruck choices was passed with amajority vote.

Following the approval of thispurchase, a nine-member commit-tee of firefighters will begin meet-ing Wednesday to discuss possibletruck styles and options. Accord-ing to Fire Chief Michael Howard,the truck will be purchased andavailable for use by the Fire De-partment next summer.

Town Selectmen from Norwood Patch

BY KIERSTEN BARRY

Hundreds of friends and familygathered on the Common and atthe Civic Center on Saturday No-vember 27 to kick off the 2011 hol-iday season complete with a visitfrom Santa himself.

The Norwood Holiday Extrava-ganza is a longstanding traditionfor a town that takes pride in theunique, strong historical ties offamily, commitment, and unity-the essence and fabric of the Nor-wood community.

The quintessential, picture per-fect holiday celebration wastopped off by unseasonably warmtemperatures and a “Rockwel-lesque” feel with the sound ofhoofs clanking down the street re-placing the busyness of cars asKrochmal Farms provided horsedrawn hayrides throughout the day.

The Norwood Boosters sold hotchocolate and popcorn, while theNHS Madrigals and the CoakleyMiddle School Honor Chorusfilled the air with classic holidaysongs such as “Frosty the Snow-man” and “We Wish You a MerryChristmas”.

It was impossible to avoid theholiday spirit, but even harder toignore the collective love the peo-ple of Norwood have for their townand for each other.

Former Norwood resident andMaster of Ceremonies DaveCuddy is one of many who partic-ipate in the annual celebration.

“Norwood will always be in myheart and be my home…I hopeevery town has a chance to dosomething special like this,”Cuddy said to the crowd at the startof the day.

Lifelong Norwood residentLinda Rau read the “How theGrinch Stole Christmas” for thefourth year alongside the Grinch(Brendan Altieri), Cindy Loo(Kelly Reilly), and Max the Dog(Blake Fitzgerald), to group ofawestruck children.

When asked how she came to beinvolved in the annual tradition,Rau said, “I love the story, I loveChristmas, and I love this wholecelebration. I grew up in Norwoodand we didn’t have anything likethis. My Dad always said Nor-

wood was the greatest place to live,and he was right. Rau spoke of herthree children and three grandchil-dren, all living in Norwood, “It isjust great, I would do anything forthis town.”

Selectwoman Helen AbdallahDonohue has been reading “Twasthe Night Before Christmas” at theannual celebration since it beganalmost twenty-years ago, but thisyear was particularly special forDonohue.

“I love it so much, but this yearis special”, Donohue said with ex-citement, “this is the first year Ihave my first grandchild here!”Sixteen-month-old Amelia was allsmiles after hearing her grand-mother read the classic tale ofSanta’s arrival.

Donohue’s sister, Olga Abdullahwas one of the original founders ofthe event that initially began as a

Happy New Year from Our Family to Yours...

This past holiday season, theChristmas Caboose returned toNorwood for its second voyagethrough St. Catherine's of SienaSchool's annual fundraiser. Fourmagical rides modeled after the en-chanting tale, The Polar Express, byChris Van Allsburg, departed fromNorwood's MBTA Central Stationand carried approximately 2,000excited children and their familiesinto Boston.

Each MBTA commuter train wastransformed into a child's ultimatedream escape with spirited holidaydesigns where elves entertainedtheir young riders. In the true PolarExpress tradition, many childrenwore their pajamas on their fantasy

50-minute ride. The adventure in-cluded singing Christmas Carols, areading of The Polar Express, vari-ous games, snacks, and on the re-turn trip, a special visit from Santaand Mrs. Clause.

"It was great seeing the kid's facesand their families had a wonderfultime," said St. Catherine's Directorof Advancement Paula Curley. "Wehad great feedback that it will be ayearly family outing."

In addition to the Christmas Ca-boose, St. Catherine's also hosts twoother annual school fundraisers, agala in late winter and a golf tour-nament in early fall. This benefit,however, unites St. Catherine's fac-

ulty, students and families with itsNorwood neighbors which Curleyexplains makes this a truly civicevent.

"It's nice to see the St. Catherinecommunity and Norwood commu-nity enjoy the ride," Curley said.

While Curley admits that Thanks-giving weekend was not as popularfor tickets sales as last year, thefundraiser was still a beneficialevent for the school. Christmas Ca-boose rides have become a popularfundraising event in Boston-areatowns and Norwood was fortunateto receive a date from the MBTA.

"Getting trains is a lottery with theMTBA," Curley said. "There are

nine dates available for the southshore and 13 communities apply.We were lucky to be one of nine."

This playful occasion provided awell-needed break from the rushand confusion of the holiday season

where families can unite in theircelebrations with a journey full ofsurprises and holiday joy. The bookmay be fantasy, but emulating itsexperiences hopefully revives theimagination and dreams in youngand old.

While the holidays are a time toreflect and count our blessings,December 3rd was truly a specialday in Norwood as the First Bap-tist Church held their annual Gin-gerbread Fair in order to raisemoney for local ministries as wellas providing support for the localcommunity.

The Fair gave children a chanceto come in and build gingerbreadhouses, while parents were able tohave lunch and shop for an abun-dant of baked goods, books, jew-elry, crafts, and trinkets that wereall available for purchase.

“People are out today,” saidparishioner Ruth Taeger, who alsoheads up the local Food Pantry.“Everyone is having a greattime… the crowd is exceptionaltoday.”

The fair was open from 9-3 with10% of the proceeds going to themissions. Part of the remainderproceeds will also help First Bap-tist Church Pastor Norm Bronson,take a missionary trip to Hondurasin January.

“I am really excited about it,”said the Pastor.

The trip will cost $1600, and theFBC is looking for continued sup-port as the Pasotr helps build aschool and orphanage for needychildren with the help of LouisianaBaptist University and Seminary.

“We hope some will support thePastor on his trip,” said Taeger.

“These people are wonderful,”said Pastor Bronson of the turnout.“You can’t do good without itcoming back.”

The Pastor also informed Nor-wood Town News, that they havefinished the year financially in theblack, with the success of the Fair.

“This is an awesome step for us,”said Pastor Bronson.

While over at the United Churchof Norwood, Pastor Kevin Smithand his wife Sharon hosted thecommunity for the 60th year withtheir annual Christmas in theSquare.

“It’s part of our community out-

reach and we try to bring peopleout to do something special andit’s nice to be apart of a wholegroup of things going on,” saidPastor Smith.

The United Church holds theirOpen Door every Wednesdaynight where they feed as many asfifty people on any given night aswell as provide groceries for thosein need.

The UC hopes and encouragesthe community to come in to ex-perience their children’s ministryprogram, as the church has up-graded their nursery and is focusedin making a big difference in theirchildren’s ministries.

“We are active,” said SharonSmith.

Local Churches Open Their DoorsDuring Holiday Season

united effort between citizens andbusiness to celebrate the holidaysand to help preserve and supportthe uptown shopping area.

“It started about twenty yearsago with the Norwood CenterGroup…we wanted to do some-thing to celebrate the holiday sea-son that was a combination ofcitizens and businesses along themain street. When we first started,we would meet at Carol Jean-nette’s perfume shop early in themorning and blow up balloons toline the center of town, it was anice way to kick off the holidayseason.”

Reminiscing about the old daysand memorable shops such asHanlon’s, Sanko Toy, Furlongs andClark’s Pharmacy, Abdullah said“People in Norwood love volun-teering and helping one another,they always have, it is a beautifulthing and part of what makes thistown so very special.”

The Norwood High SchoolMarching Band led the procession,while Girl Scouts, Brownie troopsand student volunteers from theNorwood Recreation DepartmentSchool of Dance dressed in festiveholiday attire waved to the crowd.

Santa and Mrs. Claus arrived sit-ting atop a fire truck much to thedelight of hundreds of eagerlyawaiting children. Before posingfor pictures and taking Christmasrequests from the children, Santaand Mrs. Claus danced arm-in-armacross the floor of the Walter J.Dempsey Memorial Bandstand.Abdullah pointed out “the band-stand didn’t cost the town a penny,it was all a volunteer effort, and itreally makes such a difference tothe beautiful common. It is so pic-turesque, just look at the childrenall gathered around, It is beautiful.”

After the second try, “You’re notloud enough!” Santa said, the jollyman in red and hundreds of chil-dren yelled “10, 9, 8….and the daywas complete as the Common waslit up like one big, beautiful Christ-mas tree.

On December 3rd, LuminaryNight lit up the Town Commonin spirit, as over 1200 candleslined the pathways around thesquare.

“It’s a celebration of the sea-son,” said Circle of Hope Pres-ident Tim McDonough.

The Norwood Circle of HopeFoundation, which has held Lu-minary Night for 12 years onthe Town Common, was estab-lished in 1998 in memory ofMichelle Kennedy, a young res-ident who suffered withleukemia. During Michelle’sbattle, the entire Norwood com-munity joined together to sup-port her in her time of need, andit is in that spirit that the Nor-wood Circle of Hope Founda-tion continues.

This year the COH had their

biggest turnout with 1200 bags,often donning the names of thoselost or who are battling illness,with “every penny going to thosein need,” according to McDo-nough.

In previous years, the tempera-ture of Luminary Night has beennear frigid, but this year broughta warm and comfortable night,which helped bring out a sizablecrowd to appreciate all those inmemory.

“It’s usually the coldest night ofthe year, but tonight you could seethat our good deeds are payingoff,” said McDonough.

A small ceremony preceded theevent with St Catherine’s Msgr.Paul Ryan, leading prayers andaddressing the crowd with en-couraging words.

“There is hope and there is hopein one another,” said Ryan.

The Norwood Circle of Hope isa non-profit organization. All theirboard members are volunteers.Their funds come from corporate,private and public donations aswell as fundraisers that we holdduring the year.

Board member Kathy St. Cyrsaid the event is, “Norwood peo-ple helping Norwood people.”

St. Cyr, went on to say, “ we’veexceeded expectations today,thanks to the community for sup-porting us today… it just blos-somed.”

The Circle of Hope works witha nurse and a social worker andhas donated over $250,000 dol-lars since it’s inception.

Over the years, they have as-sisted families with various ex-penses depending on their needs;rent, mortgage, utilities, food,medical bills, and equipment,house ramps, prescriptions, gascards, and airline tickets to treat-ment centers.

“There is hope, so many peoplein helping and giving to otherswill say that the greatest gift is notwhat I gave but what they gave intheir suffering and hurt and theirappreciation for caring extendsfrom all bonds… may you knowthe peace of Christmas in yourheart and in your home,” – Rev.Msgr. Paul Ryan.

The Norwood Historical Societyand the Norwood Neighborsopened their doors for the sixthyear to the residents of Norwoodon Sunday, December 11th from2-6 pm. The Holiday House Tourallowed residents to venture intothe historic homes and grasp apiece of Norwood history while atthe same time socializing and en-joying refreshments.

The tour was sponsored by Nor-wood Bank, and hundreds of resi-dents enjoyed the day. “Get on theDay House Committee…be amember and get your antiques ap-

praised,” said an enthusiastic DebHolmwood, who is the Presidentof the Norwood Neighbor Com-mittee.

The proceeds from the tour willgo to restore the F. Holland DayHouse, which was placed on theNational Register of HistoricPlaces back in 1977. It is the homeof the non-profit Norwood Histor-ical Society, incorporated in 1907.

Until his death in 1933, thehouse was the home of F. HollandDay, the only child of Lewis andAnna Smith Day, a noted photog-rapher, publisher, historian, andphilanthropist.

Memberships are only $20 foran individual and $30 for a familywith several benefits including ap-praisal and sponsored socialevents.

“The most important thing ispeople getting into these housesand see that they are worth sav-ing,” said Holmwood. The Day

House alone needs $30k in repairswhile the Holiday Day tours onlybrought in $10k.

This year the houses that wereopened on the tour were; the Ma-sonic Lodge on 76 Day Street, theMemorial Hall on Nahatan Street,Carlene and Roger Ferris Houseon Day Street, Candace Colbert,

Joe Alfieri, and Merle Miller’shome on Winter St., and Margaretand Thomas Lambert’s home onEverett Ave., MaryBeth and JohnMcDonough’s on Ledgeview Dr.,and Diane and Michael Reardon’shome on Overlook Dr.

Longtime Norwood residentslikely remember the beginning ofthe era of Keegan's Norwood Jew-elers. The popular local jewelrystore was started by George Kee-gan, an ambitious entrepreneurwho learned to fix watches in spiteof limited use of his extremitiesand bound to a wheelchair, allrepercussions from polio. He laterpurchased Norwood Jewelersfrom Peter Gagel in 1951, then lo-cated at 1144 Washington Street inSouth Norwood; a building withno signage, one broken showcase,a watch bench and a crank regis-ter. The store, now owned by Kee-gan's son, Shawn Keegan, hasmoved a few times to allow forgrowth, but it has always been amainstay in the South Norwoodcommunity.

"We are a stone's throw fromwhere we started, we keep ex-panding and growing," Sean Kee-gan said.

For many years, the elder Kee-gan serviced his Norwood neigh-bors with his reputation serving ashis primary and only form of ad-vertising, commonly referred bycustomers as 'George the Jeweler.'Keegan's opened its sister store,Keegan's Cape Jewelers in 1970and eventually it just made senseto coordinate the two stores andKeegan's Norwood Jewelers wasestablished.

For 60 years, Keegan's NorwoodJewelers has assisted generationsof local residents purchase giftsfor friends, family and loved ones,often to mark important events intheir lives. As a thank you for theirloyal patronage and in celebrationof their 60 year anniversary, Kee-gan's held two special events fortheir customers in December. OnDecember 1, it was Ladies Night,with stretch limousines transport-ing customers to the store with athree-piece band and refreshmentsawaiting their arrival. On Decem-ber 8, the gentlemen had their ap-preciation evening with a tailgateparty with wide screen tvs,and employees festively sportingtheir favorite football attire withthe Norwood Cheerleading Squadraising money for their Floridatournament in February.

According to Keegan, the key tothe business's continued successhas been flexibility, customerservice and recognizing cus-tomers' needs. As an independent,

local jeweler, the store has offeredan evolving line of jewelry basedon current trends and popularity.

"The biggest thing is staying upwith the times," Keegan said."You need to change as timeschange, staying fresh and stayingnew."

Observance of popular productsand industry knowledge is whatinspired Keegan to open hisnewest store last January, the Pan-dora Store in Legacy Place inDedham.

Returning customers would alsoagree that excellent customerservice has been a standing philos-ophy at Keegan's Norwood Jewel-ers. Norwood residents have reliedon that exceptional assistance andexpertise of the staff for over halfa century.

"We treat people the way wewould what to be treated," Keegansaid. We help them find somethingthat is going to make them and theperson who is receiving it happy."

Keegan's Norwood Jewelers islocated at 1191 Washington St., inSouth Norwood. For more infor-mation, visit their website atwww.keegansjewelers.com or call781-769-5470. Also, call their

Pandora store at Legacy Place forinformation on their collaborationwith the Norwood CheerleadingSquad's fundraiser event in Janu-ary where the squad will be rais-ing money for their trip to Floridaand a portion of the day's proceeds

will be donated to their tourna-ment costs.

However, the yearlyexpenses in order tomaintain the buildingare high as oil pricescontinue to climb, re-quiring more and morecommunity support.

“Come and see thehouse,” said Holm-wood. “And if you likethe house then you haveto step up and save it… that’s thebottom line.”

The Norwood Bank again thisyear opened their doors for a dayof joy and cheer with Santa andthe public. In cooperation withthe bank’s Sharing Tree program,customers were asked to take amitten off the tree and provide fora local child in need.

“People are good,” said bankemployee Pat Gover. “Wecouldn’t do it without our cus-tomers.”

In the mid-eighties the SharingTree program was started by theUnited Way, and was continued byNorwood Bank in recent years.

This year the Amici CantoresChoir sang on December 10,while locals brought in gifts andtheir children to have a picturewith Santa Claus. This year’s treehad over two hundred mittens,each representing a child with awish list, in hope that a localwould pick up the mitten and pro-vide those gifts,

“All kinds of elves in the back-ground,” said Gover of the successof the program, which is all forlocal children.

Similarly and for the third con-secutive year, Needham Bank

conducted its Angel Tree Program– this year partnering with six re-gional agencies to bring comfortand joy to local children duringthe holidays.

From mid-November throughmid-December, the five branchesof Needham Bank hosted sites forthe Angel Tree Program facilitatedby the following organizations intheir respective communities:

Needham (Riverside Commu-nity Care, and The Walker School)

Dedham (The Dedham YouthCommission)

Medfield (Medfield Youth Out-

reach)

Wellesley (New Falls Apart-ments)

Westwood (Westwood Youthand Family Services)

The main lobbies of each Need-ham Bank location held a holidaytree, decorated with paper angelsprovided by the organizations,bearing the requests of anony-mous local children and teenswho, otherwise would not receivea gift for the holiday. The publicwas invited to visit the Bank’sbranches, select one or more “an-gels” and purchase the requestedgifts. The participating organiza-

tions will make certain that eachgift is delivered to the child in-tended to receive it.

And in the true spirit of the holi-days, gifts for all unclaimed angelswill be purchased through gener-ous customer and matching bankdonations via branch coin count-ing machines.

The program plays a vital part inensuring that underprivileged chil-dren in our communities share inthe joy of the season. Over thepast years, hundreds of local chil-dren and their families have bene-fited from this program.

Nature Calls

BYAMY BEAUMONT

In my ongoing quest to photo-graph owls in the wild, I’ve deter-mined a couple of things. First ofall, finding one in Norwood is re-ally a bit of a chore.

And because they are mainlynocturnal creatures, seeing one atnight when I’m fast asleep defi-nitely won’t work out. I figuredmy best bet was to at least hearone – and for several years noteven that happened. Eventually Igave up, but because most of mywriting takes place at night, it fi-nally did happen – hearing onethat is. I wasn’t even really sure itwas one – as I heard somethingthat basically sounded like asqueaky fan belt. I ignored it fora while, as it was later in theevening and I was trying to getanother project accomplished.

Once I realized the sound wascyclical, I started to pay more at-tention. When I realized it waslikely an owl, I became obsessedwith figuring out exactly which

type it could be. It didn’t takelong to figure it out – the mostcommon to the area is the EasternScreech Owl. I easily found thesame calls withsome simple onlineinvestigating at al-laboutbirds.org – agreat website con-taining all the factsabout owls onewould like to know.

But back to thechore of photograph-ing an owl – again,determined to be im-possible. Since myartillery does not in-clude any sort ofnight vision capabil-ities, photographingone was basicallynext to impossible.The accompanyingphotograph is that of an AsianOwl – which I was able to photo-graph at a raptor show. This owlflew just over the heads of on-lookers, including my own, com-ing so close the tips of his wingsskimmed my hair. Good thing for

me I actually own a bird, as see-ing something that big fly right atyour face can be a bit intimidat-ing.

After a few dozen attempts withthe big lens, I finally snapped aphoto that was worthy (goodthing as it is likely the only shotI’ll ever get). The handlers pro-vided great facts about the manyraptors – like their weight; my

guess on the Asian beauty wasway off. Despite his enormoussize, he only weighed a couple ofpounds. It makes sense I suppose

– they are after allmade up of mostlyfeathers. My love-bird, which is aboutthe size of a housesparrow, is onlyaround 50 grams.The Eastern ScreechOwl is far less intim-idating – weighingin between 4 and 8ounces – a cute littlething really. As cuteas they are though,they still consumesongbirds – whichare out and aboutduring the day.

Seeing an EasternScreech Owl during

the day is not all that unlikely.Keep your eyes peeled aroundyour backyard feeder – you mayjust see a really cute little killerlurking around.

“Dream Team” Jerry Miller andPaula Pelaggi “are the 2011 hon-orees of the Friends of St. Nick.

The dynamic pair was honoredbefore family and friends at the20th annual Friends of St. Nickluncheon on Friday December 2 atConcannon’s Village.

The Friends of St. Nick “commit-ted to ringing in the holiday seasonwith good friends, good cheer for agood cause” with the annual lunch-eon at Conncannon’s Village. Thefestive event honors a local organi-zation or individuals who serve thecommunity while raising moneyfor the Dana Farber Cancer Insti-tute, the dual mission of TheFriends of St. Nick.

Bob Dempsey, Friends of St. Nickboard member and Master of Cer-emonies, referred to Miller andPelaggi “as people you want onyour side when the going getstough.”

Fellow board member Marty San-sone described the “exhaustiveprocess” full of spirited debated andserious discussion in determiningthe honorees.

“After a unanimous vote we de-cided upon Jerry and Paula… Ithink it was fresh in our minds atThe Last Hurrah, it is pretty amaz-ing to see what they have been ableto do and was very fitting to givethem the opportunity to have theirday,” Sansone said.

The Friends of St. Nick honoredMiller and Pelaggi at the notable

event for their years of dedicationand commitment in bettering theNorwood community. Both wereindividually and collectively influ-ential in the development of multi-ple pioneer programs (SADD, ThePost Prom Party, The Spirit Club,and The NHS Alumni Association)for the high school, culminating inthe schools largest event to-date,‘The Last Hurrah’.

The NHS Madrigals and BrassQuintet performed holiday classicswhile old and new friends sharedstories and memories, awaiting thearrival of “the couple of the year”.

“The Dream Team”, were de-scribed by family and friends as“the perfect balance” of quiet inno-vation, inspiration and love forcommunity, combined with highenergy, commitment, and motiva-tion, sharing a mutual talent, anddetermination to see ideas tofruition. Many at the luncheon ex-pressed their gratitude for the in-strumental, groundbreaking eventsand programs synonymous withgenerations of “Norwoodians” thatother communities are attemptingto mimic.

Linda Rau, Miller’s friend sincetheir days at the School on the Hill,her old friend’s literal catch phrase.

“Jerry’s favorite quote is ‘I havean idea’ and he ropes you right in…He has an idea, he knows the peo-ple to go to and he is such a goodguy, you can’t say no… and youend up having the time of your lifeand meeting the greatest friends ofyour life. It has just been wonder-ful.” Rau said of her experiences

helping Miller and Pelaggi with nu-merous events over the years.

“I think the High School reallymisses Paula. She is total energyand all of the programs she startedare beginning to wean becausethere is no driving force behindthem. She really is a motivator.”Rau continued.

NHS Principal George Usevichspoke of Pelaggi’s dedication to herstudents and whole hearted partici-pation in the development of activ-ities and groups that fosteredstudents beyond the classroom.“These are two people who havecontributed their time, their sparetime, their extra time in givingback…It is truly a tribute to themand very much overdue.”

However, the seemingly smallacts, kind gestures at the perfectmoment are what many remembermost about “The Dream Team.”Their quiet kindness and compas-sion, a momentary thought to qui-etly help a friend, has affected manypeople.

Honorees of years past partici-pated through song, speeches of re-membrance honoring Joan Lynch,Don McLean, and Anna Tobin,adding to the feeling of unity andfamily that is synonymous withNorwood.

Before presenting Miller and

Pelaggi with cita-tions from theHouse of Repre-sentatives, theState Senate andthe U.S. House of

Representatives, Senator JohnRogers (D-Norwood) gave a pow-erful speech about the strength, ca-maraderie, family, and theunbelievable way residents alwaysgive back, the essence of the Nor-wood community.

“Norwood is a very special place,where people pray, and then go outand answer the prayers of others,”Rogers said to a room captivated byhis words.

Reflecting on some of the mosttrying times in the town’s recenthistory, Rogers spoke of a four-yearold boy who united the town in ahistoric way, a brown haired girlwhose legacy is continuing to helpothers, and a young man whoturned a personal tragedy into tri-umph by inspiring others and do-nating thousands of dollars toChildren’s Hospital.

The annual Kibby Curran GoodGuy Award was presented to a verysurprised Brendan Gearty, who likeCurran “goes above and beyond inthe community...always offers ahelping hand with a smile on hisface” and “has been a true Friend ofSt. Nick for twenty years” accord-ing to Thornton.

Dempsey thanked caterer SeanCasey and Tom Concannon for“doing God’s work” by donatingthe hall for twenty-years. “The

thing about today is it hurts nobody.They come, pay a few bucks for theticket, they get a decent meal, andthey have a lot of fun. Everybodywins. You can never be thankfulenough for your health”, Concan-non said.

Rogers summed up his emotionalspeech, likening the work of theFriends of St. Nick and 2011 hon-orees Miller and Pelaggi with a linefrom Frank Capras’ “Winter Christ-mas Classic.”

“Each person’s life touches thelives of so many and that’s what istrue about this community. So, ifNorwood was Bedford Falls thenthe roles of Mary and George Bai-ley we have supremely been playedout by our honorees.”

The Friends of St. Nick haveraised $500,000 to date for DanaFarber Cancer Institute and the PanMass Challenge, with this year’sevent bringing in an additional$20,000.00 for cancer research.

For some of us, the battle of thebulge is a daily war. Choosing toput down the donut and pick up thedumbbell is a constant battle. Youknow what I mean.

So when the holidays comearound, we tend to take off ourarmor and put on the food bag.

From the second the Thanksgiv-ing turkey hits the table, ‘til the lastof the New Year’s Chinese food isinhaled you are surrounded by

food. And not just any food- thestuff you only see once a year- likeChristmas cookies and pumpkinpie.

So like a drowning man, youneed to eat everything- and eat itnow. Food goes bad you know.Hate to see the last of the cookiesgo to waste. There’s only one lefton the plate. Wouldn’t want to hurtAuntie’s feelings because no onefinished her lasagna- especiallyafter all the love (and ooey, gooeycheese) she put into it.

Let’s face it – a whole year canpass until you taste those cookiesagain. And who knows what willhappen in that year? You couldlose the ability to eat. Or the desirefor dessert. So nosh know.

Then January rolls around-andyour roll onto the scale. Suddenly,the reality of all that holiday eatingsmacks you upside the head. Noone stole your pants as a joke andreplaced them with smaller ones.Nor did your jeans shrink in thedryer. Your stretch pants are almoststretched out.

That pumpkin pie that youthought was your friend has be-

come your thighs’ worst enemy.There was nothing sweet aboutthat sweet potato casserole, it tooturned on you and showed upunannounced on your waist.

Your New Year’s resolution is tolose weight becomes missionnumber one.

You vow, this will be the year.You will drink protein shakes(even if they are green and smellweird) and have veggies at everymeal including breakfast. Cook-ies, cakes, and chips will bebanned from your house forever.They are evil. Instead you buy veg-gie chips and tofu dip. And con-

vince yourself they taste okay-maybe even good.

You will join the gym. And actu-ally go. There will be aerobicclasses and weight classes you willattend. A treadmill has been re-served everyday just for you.

Lycra pants and running shoesare bought. You know that after allthat working out…you will beready to run the Boston Marathon.This will be your year.

Then February comes around.

Monday Night at the Movies at the Library

BY KIERSTEN BARRY

December was a busy month, buta wonderful busy month. Throughthe usual hustle and bustle of theseason, a child’s hectic sportsschedule, Christmas parties, andobsessively checking the eBay appon my phone for that one must-have. I was also extremely blessedand required to slow down lastmonth, for work of all things.

I attended events I probablywould not have prioritized abovethe eBay obsession, which wasquite time-consuming, but I tookpart in many small moments thatculminated in an unbelievable hol-iday season. I experienced joy, thespirit of giving and gratitude foreven the smallest act that is Nor-wood, not only in December butyear round. I had one of the bestChristmas seasons in my history ofNorwood because of my job.

While sharing stories with OllieAbdallah at the Holiday Extrava-ganza, I received two gifts - storiesfrom the years of my childhoodthat I will cherish and a new con-nection, meeting a wonderfulwoman. We reminisced about myfavorite toy store, the Ginny Dollsthat were a staple on my Christmas

list and the only place I could af-ford to go Christmas shoppingwith the $3.00 I made deliveringpapers for Mr. John Cook, theAttic at Klein’s.

The stories of generations ofNorwood acts, of giving continuedto build, to tie together with eachevent I attended in December.

Luminary Night, my favoritenight of the season, was set for De-cember 3. The weather forecastwas promising and Circle of Hopeboard members were aiming for arecord-breaking night. However,seven days before the Commonwas set to glow in the memory ofthousands of loved ones- by mereaccident some people did not re-ceive the forms.

What did the people of Norwooddo?

They stepped up in true Nor-wood fashion of course. Emailswent out to schools, churches, andorganizations. Local merchantslent a hand selling luminaries andposting signs throughout town.

Just when I thought I saw Nor-wood at its best (again), and Lumi-nary Night was still a day away, Iwas asked to attend the Friends of

St. Nick luncheon. Was I excited?Um, a little bit.

A fever and flu forced me towatch last year’s luncheon live onNPA from my couch, when theCircle of Hope of all organizationswas honored. Wrapped in a blan-ket, I quite literally went through abox of Kleenex and not because ofmy cold. In the end, though it hurtme to sit at my house just minutesaway watching Lee, Timothy Mc-Donough, and Mrs. Gearty (a for-mality I cannot get past) and theother members I have knownthrough my life, I think everyonewas for the better.

This year’s honorees, JerryMiller and Paula Pelaggi, are fullof positive energy and drive, themoment I walked into Concan-non’s on December 2, I could feelthat same energy. The room was

abuzz with anticipation, holidaycheer, and people I have knownmy entire life. I began to confusenames with faces and faces withnames, but the stories of my child-hood and the work of this greattown continued to build.

I spent a few minutes speakingwith Mr. Concannon (again, I can’tget past the formality from child-hood) about the tremendous workhe has done for so many over the

years and my personal memoriesof Irish step-dancing in the veryroom we were standing every St.Patrick’s Day. We spoke of “fam-ily”, generations of stories andfundraisers made possible becauseof the generosity of this humbleman. Mr. Concannon said, “Thething about today is it hurts no-body. They pay a few bucks…geta decent meal and have a lot of fun,everybody wins.”

MONDAY NIGHT AT THE MOVIEScontinued from previous page

BYDORIS DICKSON

Approximately nine years ago,Norwood Hospital’s Bill Fleming,current Senior Vice President ofOperations, had a thought - get thehospital more involved with thecommunity and the elderly popu-lation. From that thought was bornthe Senior Supper Program at Nor-wood Hospital.

The original program was offeredonce a week (Wednesday) and costjust $3.95 per person. Today, theprogram has been expanded and isoffered five days a week, Mondaythrough Friday (except holidays)from 4:45 p.m. to 6:45 p.m., andcosts a modest $5.50. The meal,consisting of a choice of three en-trees, a beverage and dessert orsoup, is available to communitymembers age 55 years or older.

The program is run under the di-rection of Food and Nutrition Serv-ices Director, Norman Neault, andExecutive Chef, Nick

Perrelli. Chef Perrelli, a graduateof the Culinary Institute of Amer-ica, has worked at the hospital forfive years after working in the ca-sual and fine dining for most of hiscareer. Chef Perrelli, an awardwinner himself, is the grandson ofan Italian chef in New Haven, CTwho chose the occupation long be-fore Food Network made being achef popular. Chef Perrelli consid-ers himself a “chef who likes tocook.” In fact, he says he still en-joys entertaining and cooking offthe job - an apparent rarity in the in-dustry.

Though his most difficult chal-lenge is keeping costs in line, ChefPerrelli prides himself on beingable to “squeeze the food budget,”thus, enabling him to use freshproducts such as for the popularbutternut squash soup as opposedto less expensive, less tasty andsometimes less healthful frozen op-tions. The chef notes that the handpureed, fresh butternut squash soup

has much more fiberand flavor thanfrozen alterna-tives. He also notesno canned vegeta-bles or dried foods(e.g. potato flakes)are used in hiskitchen.

Each night thereare three main en-trees offered at thecafeteria. At leastone option is gearedtoward the senioraudience who areencouraged to offertheir input. A recentvisit at dinner timegreeted visitors witha choice of steak tips,stuffed portabellaFlorentine over field greens and avariety of stir fry options (veg-etable, chicken, beef, orshrimp). Other entrée selections(offered in ever-changing three-week cycles based on the season)include freshly, carved roast beef,honeyed roast pork loin, rotisserie-style chicken, autumn pear andpecan salad with grilled chicken,and the crowd favorite – roastturkey.

Meals undergo nutritional analy-sis to provide balance and a varietyof healthful, nutritionalneeds. There are vegan, vegetarianand gluten-free options. Thoughthere are no specifically designated“low-carb” meals, they are easy tospot. Just ask Chef Perrelli or hisassistants, David Pichette and Bar-bara Fruci; they will be happy toguide you to a meal meeting your

specific needs.

In addition, beverages both in thecafeteria and in vending machinesare color coded (green, yellow andred) by nutritional value and thehospital is happy to tell us, “red”coded beverages such as regularsoda, energy, sports or fruit drinks,are rarely chosen alternatives. In-stead, yellow and green optionssuch as diet soda, 100% juice,water and milk are chosen muchmore frequently by guests.

On average, the program serves25-50 meals per night. Whenasked if he considers the programa success, my escort, James F.Sheehan, Community BenefitsManager, answered a resounding,“Yes, as a business and as a com-munity service.”

If you ask frequent guests, Larice

and Joe Berry, whose favoritemeals are chicken parmesan andsteak tips, the program “is such agood idea.” They don’t know why“more seniors don’t come. Youcan’t beat the price. Look at all thetime you save from not cookingand shopping.” Mrs. Berry thinksfolks should come get dinner andthen stop at the Senior Center toshoot some pool and see more ofthe friends they’ve made. On thisvisit, recently-elected selectmen,Allan Howard and his wife of 47years, Renie, were also in atten-dance with guests, Richard Paquin,Natalie Lowell and a gentlemanwho asked to be referred to as “oneunidentified old man.”

BYDORIS DICKSON

Norwood Schools’ Food ServiceDirector, Jane McLucas, took timeout of a recent busy day to explainhow she, the town, and her smallstaff strive to improve nutrition inNorwood Publicschools. Ms. McLucas, a graduateof Johnson and Wales University,has been with Norwood schools for12 years. Previously, she worked inrestaurants, colleges, and corporatecafeterias. When asked how she ul-timately chose the school environ-ment, Jane replied that it was amatter of “lifestyle” as well as“doing something positive” andgiving students “a good meal” –often the only good meal of the day.

Norwood school meals are an en-tirely “self-sustaining” business andreceive only USDA subsidies forfree or reduced-price lunch. Thismeans the School Committee setcharges must cover the entire costof meals. Breakfast (offered at theBalch, Callahan, and Oldham) is$1. Lunch is currently $2 at ele-mentary schools and $2.25 or 2.50 at the middle and highschool. They also receive someUSDA provided commodities suchas frozen vegetables, butter, whole-wheat pasta, brown/white rice,beans and some protein such asturkey roast and ham. The occa-sional “bonus” from the USDA offruit such as pears, oranges and ap-ples that may have to be turned intodesserts such as “apple crisp” arealso appreciated. USDA apportionsare determined by average dailyparticipation of each school/town(number of meals served) not theincome of the town.

Therefore, Ms. McLucas must

balance costs with the students“wants” – her two biggest chal-lenges, she says. After all, it doesno good to serve healthy food chil-dren will not eat. Each new health-ful food is introduced in smallquantities to get students used to thenew variety. One such recent ex-ample was Jicama (a root veg-etable) which absorbs flavors fromthe ranch dip made available withall raw vegetables. Cooked vegeta-bles are difficult to prepare andserve while remaining appetizing,especially in the elementary schoolsthat have only “satellite” (warmingovens, hot plates, etc.), not full-ser-vice kitchens.

The schools are able to take ad-vantage of Lanni Orchards inLunenberg (e.g. during Farm toSchool week in September) whichcollects local produce to sell toschools. However, because schoolmenus are planned upwards ofthree months in advance and thegrowing season is often “mother-nature” conditional, it is a challengeto coordinate the menu with avail-able produce.

In addition to cost and “want”constraints, school meals are oftendriven by state and federal guide-lines that are in the process of beingupdated. New guidelines (thoughnot finalized) may include such re-quirements as providing a green,leafy, or orange vegetable threetimes a week, offering a differentfruit and veggie each day, increas-ing bean offerings to once a week,etc. Such offerings include bakedbeans, black beans and rice, hum-mus, corn and black bean salad,etc. Favorites also include Caesarsalad, mandarin salad, broccoli, car-rot and celery sticks (with dip).

Another requirement is that halfthe grains used (e.g. for pizza shells)must be whole grain. Vendors arealso aiding the cause by makinglower sodium, lower fat ingredientsavailable. Most products used arenow “brand name” as opposed tothe boxes we might have seen 30years ago that said, “Grade D butedible.”

Breakfast, which are offered at thethree elementary schools whichdefinition of “severe need,” includewhat Ms. McLucas calls “grab andgo” meals such as cereal, bagelsand cream cheese, yogurt, cheesesticks, milk and juice. Thoughpeanut butter has not been banned,sun butter (made from sunflowerseeds) is offered as analternative. Occasional hot mealsare also offered which might in-clude pancakes or egg sand-wiches. Fridays are sometimes“Brunch for Lunch” days in the el-ementary schools.

In conjunction with Director

McLucas’ goals, she is a memberof the town’s Wellness Committee,which was adopted by the Nor-wood School Committee in June2006 and is currently being updatedto meet new state guidelines whichtext effect for the 2012/2013 schoolyear. The original policy was cre-ated by the School Health Council,which consists of administrators,teachers, students, parents, andcommunity members. In short, thepolicy states Norwood schools“will engage students, parents,teachers, food service professionals,health professionals, and other in-terested community members indeveloping, implementing, moni-toring, and reviewing district-widenutrition programs and physical ac-tivities.”

As the wellness policy states, thetown wishes to improve the food inschools as well as physical activi-ties. One way the town gets stu-dents involved in physical activityis through the BOKS (Build OurKids Success) program outlined by

Reebok International inCanton. BOKS is a before schoolprogram, specifically geared to-wards elementary school children,that runs for 45 minutes to anhour. The goals of the program areto: Improve kids’ academic per-formance and overall health, useplay as a physical activity to jumpstart children’s brains in the morn-ing and better equip them for learn-ing, increase opportunities for kidsto be physically active and fit, andcreate healthier habits for childrento achieve lifelong fitness.

A grant funded study/after schoolprogram run by Balch Schoolnurse, Karen Waitekus and PhysicalEducation teacher, Linda Shorer,recently concluded. This programcombined physical activity nutri-tious after-school snacks. The pro-gram was apparently so successful;they are looking to expand it.

BYTIMDAVIS

The Norwood High School girl’sbasketball team is hoping to re-bound from a dismal season lastyear under new-year coach AlexDaluz. This is DaLuz first year as ahead coach, but he brings an enthu-

siastic and up-tempo style of bas-ketball that will surely excite thecrowd in the new gym.

“We are a young team learning anentirely a new system from a new

coach,” said Daluz, who coachedJV last year in Norton. “I havethrown a lot at them in the last fewweeks and they have caught on bet-ter than I could have imagined.”

Last year the Mustangs used afour-guard perimeter offense and

relied on the three-pointer to keepthem in games. This year with thearrival of freshman Amy Duggan,look for the Mustangs to pressurefull court to create a fast break of-

fense with multiple scoring optionson the floor.

Here is a breakdown of the teambased on the analysis of CoachDaLuz and myself.

Senior Meaghan O’Connor: AD:She will start at guard and shouldera good amount of the scoring loadfrom the backcourt. She scored 30points in a recent intra-squad scrim-mage.

TD: If O’Connor can penetrateand get to the paint the entire of-fense will open up. She has a greatmid-range jumper and will lead thisteam both on and off the court.

Junior Makenna Lane: AD: Sheis our motor. She is a vocal leaderand a great competitor. She is com-ing off an arm injury, but if she canstay healthy we will go as far as shecan takes us. She is a very smartplayer.

TD: If Lane can push the ball upthe floor and avoid turnovers; theMustangs will win a lot of gamesthis year. She makes the long base-ball pass extremely well but sheneeds to keep her head up and findthe open man on the break for easybaskets.

Junior Jessica Gorman: AD: Gor-man will start at small forward. Shehas good instincts and a good shot.

She has been slowed this preseasonwith a hip injury, but once healthy Iexpect her to be a big contributor onoffense and on the press.

TD: Gorman was a surprise addi-tion to the team last year, and withlast year’s experience she is readyto take on a larger scoring role thiswinter. Another key to the Mus-tang’s success is her ability toknock down the three on the wing.

Junior Kelly Duggan: AD: Dug-gan will start at center. She is supertough and very active on the glass.She will keep a lot of possessionsalive for us and end up scoring a lotof her points on put backs.

TD: Duggan will be this year’sdifference maker, she has good postup moves and her confidence on thefloor will be needed with this youngteam. She will be this year’s unsunghero.

Freshman Amy Duggan: AD:Duggan will start at forward. She isabout 5’10” and has guard skills.She has limitless potential. She ledus in scoring in our scrimmagesversus Norton and Ursuline Acad-emy. She will make some freshmanmistakes, but we, as a staff, will cor-rect them as the season goes.

TD: Duggan is extremely athleticwhich is something this team

lacked last year. She has the poten-tial, if she works hard on both endsof the floor for the entire 32 min-utes, to not only be good but great.

Key contributors off the bench ac-cording to DaLuz;

Guard/Forward Jr. Shannon Reen:She is pound for pound the toughestplayer on the team. She is built likea point guard but will see time atforward because she is fearlessunder the glass.

Guard Jr. Kaileen Spaulding: Shewill back up both guard spots. Shehas the trust of the coaching staff atboth guard positions. We feel safewhen she is out there because of herhigh basketball IQ.

Guard/Forward So. OliviaPhilbrook: She is expected to bringenergy coming off the bench. Sheis a fiery competitor who will giveus a spark on both ends.

Forward Jr. Liz Whitney: Liz isprobably our best back to the basketoffensive player. She will spell theDuggan sisters.

“Although we are young, we willnever use that as an excuse. Thecoaching staff believes that thisteam can shock some opponentswith our high-energy style,” con-cluded DaLuz.

The Norwood Boy’s Basketballteam returns five seniors from lastyear’s team, which finished in themiddle of the pack in the Bay Stateconference. Coach Rich Cormierwill use a multiple guard-set topush the ball up the court andknock down the open trey.

“Our goal is to get out in transi-tion and push the ball ahead, andreverse the ball,” said Cormier.

The team will lean heavily ontheir captains, Sean O’Neil andTommy Munro. O’Neil has beenworking on his outside shot duringthe off-season and hopes to in-crease his scoring output from lastseason.

“I’ve been working in the off-season on the shot and getting inshape,” said O’Neil. “We aregoing to have a fast-paced offensethis year.”

With O’Neil, Munro will have toadd some needed scoring punchfrom the inside. Munro is knownfor his defensive pressure on thepress and in the paint. He doesn’tlight up the stat sheet but he doesall the little things needed to wingames.

“Tommy is the heart and soul ofour team,” said Cormier. “The an-chor of our defense. He does all theintangibles for us.”

Backing up Munro in the paintwill be sophomore Charlie Crock-ett, who at 6’5”, will give the Mus-

tangs the inside presence that theyhave been lacking the last fewyears.

“I think we will look more insidethis year, “ said Cormier. “We havebeen very guard-dominate the lastfew years.”

Along the big two, is Troy Sousa-Semper, who is a returning starter.Sousa-Semper is a ball hawk, andhas a knack for scoring all over thecourt. His quickness to the ball andability to defend will help alleviatethe scoring load on O’Neil.

“He can get to the basket and de-fend,” said Cormier.

Another key defender is SteveMartinez, the returning forwardcan match up against anyone and

will be counted to be the defensivestopper.

“Steve does a little bit of every-thing from guard to the forward

position, he rebounds especiallywell for his size. He can consis-

Hockey has arrived in Norwoodjust as the northern cold air trick-les down from Canada. But Nor-wood is one of the few towns,which embrace such conditionsbecause it means that hockey isback in town.

This year the boy’s team,coached by Bill Clifford, returnsten seniors to the team, which willbe one of the fastest in recentmemory.

“Our asset is our speed, we canbeat a lot of teams to the puck,which will give us some scoringopportunities,” said Clifford.

Within the first week of the sea-son, the Mustangs have alreadyshown that they could be one ofthe better teams in Division 1 thiswinter. In a pre-season scrimmagewith defending champion Marsh-field, the Mustangs overcame theirgreat size and physical-style ofplay to easily handle them, 6-2.

Marshfield ousted the Mustangs inlast year’s tournament, 4-0.

The Mustangs opened the sea-son against one of the state’s best,Hingham, a recent Super 8 cham-pion, and fell in a close game 2-0.

“We hung tough with them, andit was a good sign for the rest ofthe year,” said Clifford.

The difference maker for theMustangs will be junior goalie,Jordan Davis. The junior hasworked hard in the off-season,playing in a development leagueand proving that he is one of thebest around.

“He (Davis) looked great,” saidClifford after the Newton North

game, where Davis held the Tigersto one goal in a 5-1 win. “He willhave a great year for us.”

Manning the first line for theMustangs will be junior centerTyler Gover, a hard-hitting playerwho handles the puck well. On thewings will be seniors BrendanCathcart and Peter Kelly. Both

players can score, with Kelly al-ready raking in the points this sea-son.

On the blue line, will be seniorsKyle Folan and Austin Glaser whowill be backed up by Michael

Norwood High’s junior stargoalie, Jordan Davis, is thismonth’s Athletic Republic’s‘Athlete of the Month’ for themonth of January. Davis’s quickglove and mobility in the creasehas made him one of the bestgoalies in the Bay State Confer-ence. Recently, Davis held de-fending State ChampionMarshfield to one goal in a scrim-mage and Super 8 Hingham to amere two goals in their seasonopener.

Davis was the sole goalie on anelite club team in the Massachu-setts Development League thispast fall, playing for the Wey-mouth Wildcats. The Wildcatswent 28-1 over the year andearned a berth in the NationalTournament in Wisconsin to be

played this March.

The numbers Davis amassed asgoalie are staggering as he held a1.00 GAA with a .936 save per-centage to go along with a 28-1record and 10 shutouts. Daviswas the only Norwood player onthe team, which fielded playersfrom Weymouth, Braintree, andother big programs in the area.

Davis is also a two-sport athletewho excels at baseball as well.Davis played second base for theMustangs as well as Post 70 thissummer. While in the classroom,Davis has excelled to become amember of the National HonorSociety. His favorite subject isHistory, and Davis earned first se-mester honors this year.

Davis has two brothers. His

older brotherBrandon is aBridgewater Statestudent. Brandonwas behind theplate for Post 70this past summer,while the youngerbrother Cameron,is a freshman atNorwood High,and hopes to suitup for the baseballteam this spring.All three boys arethe proud parentsof Damien andBarbara Davis.

Athletic Repub-lic would like tocongratulate Jordan on hisachievements so far this year. We

wish him continued success inboth his athletic and academic ca-

reers, as he leads the Mustangs onthe ice this year.

Leading the show is TommyBartucca, the point guard will beasked to get the ball to the openman and convert on the fast break.A great ball defender Bartuccawill be asked to slow down the op-ponent’s offense, especially intransition.

“Tommy is a pest, and I meanthat in the best possible way,” saidCormier. “He is a tremendous ball

defender. He makes you work forevery inch on the floor. He gets theteam in transition and finds theopen man and does a great job ofthat… very unselfish.”

Another seniorwho hasn’t seenmuch playingtime is KennethStokes, the foot-ball star hasn’tplayed in a fewyears due to injurybut will becounted on tomake a differenceon this year’steam.

The team withall their experi-ence hopes to be atournament bound

team this year, and they just mightwith the support of the Norwoodfaithful.

“I certainly hope we are a tour-ney-bound team, we have greatexperience with 10 returning play-ers,” said Cormier. “We have a lotof guys who know our system, andI think we will be a very good de-fensive team.”

In Norwood’s second win of theseason, a 3-2 nail-biter over theMilton Wildcats, Andrew Alty hada goal and an assist while PeterKelly wrapped a beautiful goalaround the net to propel the Mus-tangs to their sec-ond consecutivevictory over a BayState Conferenceopponent. Davishad 19 saves andcame up big in thefirst period and atthe end of thegame.

This year in theBay State, Nor-wood will contendwith Weymouthand Needham asthe perennial pow-ers of Division 1.But the Mustangsare optimistic thatthey will be rightthere in the end.

“I think we canplay with anyone

of them with the experience wehave and solid goaltending,” saidClifford.

“Most of our lines are made upof seniors, they know where to be,where to pass it and where toshoot it,” said Gover, who had twogoals in the Newton game.

This year the Mustangs are priv-

ileged to play at Fenway Park onJan. 9th. The team will play for anhour against Revere, in whatpromises to be a once in a lifetimeevent.

“They are a good bunch of kids,they continue to get better every-day at practice,” said Clifford.

The Norwood Girls’ Hockeyteam is at it again this season, inhopes to defend their Bay StateConference crown despite losingstar seniors Ali Maloof, Lisa Cos-gren, and Taylor Donners. Unfor-tunately, the biggest loss in theoff-season was star goalieChristina Frasca, who transferredto Thayer Academy in hopes ofplaying hockey at the Division 1level.

Opening night for the Mustangs,had many fans and coaches won-dering how the Mustangs wouldfair without their star players whenthey traveled to Newton, to facethe Newton North Tigers on De-cember 14th. But the Mustangscruised; easily handling the Tigerswith a 5-1 win.

“In the Bay State Conferenceyou got to come to play,” said headcoach Bill O’Donnell.

With teams like Braintree, Ded-ham, Walpole and Wellesley allwith notable pre-season ranking asthe season starts, many prognosti-

cators have the Mustangs falling tothe middle of the pack this year.

But hold on…

Newly arrived freshman KacieSmith, has the speed of a Maloof,and returning players Kaitlin Mc-Carthy, Emily Kelly, and CaptainsHayley O’Rourke, and Jenny O’-Donnell may provide enough scor-ing to keep the Mustangs at the top

of the league.

The difference maker will besophomore goalie Samantha Ba-turin, as she gains confidence andexperience could be a huge factorin keeping the Mustangs on the upand up.

“She has big shoes to fill,” saidO’Donnell. “But she is stepping inand working hard.”

In the first period of the Northgame, the center Smith kicked offher hockey career with the firstgoal at 10:44. Smith knocked in aloose puck as she glided in front ofthe net.

McCarthy added a second goal,this time on a breakaway withKaryn Colomey who made abeautiful pass over to McCarthy.

Fourteen seconds later. Newton’sKatie Caruso flipped a wrist shotfrom the blue line that beat Baturinhigh, giving the Tigers a chance topull even.

But the Mustangs skated well,controlling the neutral zone andcreating lots of scoring opportuni-ties in the second period with Ba-turin coming up with some bigsaves late.

The Mustangs made it 3-1, whenJenny O’Donnell went top shelfwith a shot from the slot at 6:18,and Baturin made some key savesat the end of the period on Carusoto preserve the two goal lead aftertwo periods.

“It’s not how many saves you

make, its when you make themand in the second period with 10seconds left, she made two bigsaves on their top scorer,” saidO’Donnell.

Baturin finished the game with18 saves and her first win of theseason.

“All the girls have been workinghard in practice and it’s a nice startto the season,” said O’Donnell.“We know there are going to besome question marks and chal-lenges, but it was nice that we gotsome goals because it made a dif-ference.”

In the third period, O’Rourkebackhanded the puck in the opennet, less than a minute into the pe-riod for the 4-1 advantage.

While defenseman HeatherFolan, took the puck off the boardsfrom the right side and launchedone into the back of the net for the5-1 final.

“We are a work in progress,” saidO’Donnell. “Most importantly wewant the girls to have an enjoyableseason and it’s a nice start.”

After years of telling people theycan apply online for Social Secu-rity in their pajamas, Patty Dukehas taken her own advice. Duke,who turns 65 today, applied onlinefor retirement and Medicare bene-fits from home at www.socialsecu-rity.gov.

“I had no idea this would be sucha momentous occasion,” saidDuke, who for three years has vol-unteered her time promoting So-

cial Security’s online services innumerous Public Service An-nouncements (PSAs) and mediainterviews. In a new online video,Duke puts character acting asideand shows everyone what hap-pened when she and her husbandMike Pearce sat down at thekitchen table, turned on their lap-top, and applied for her retirementand Medicare benefits.

“All of us at Social Security wish

Patty a very happy birthday,” saidMichael J. Astrue, Commissionerof Social Security. “She’s a Hol-lywood legend and an Americantreasure who reaches a very impor-tant milestone today. True to form,she is the one giving us the birth-day present by showing her fellowbaby boomers the easiest way toapply for benefits.”

In 2009, Duke reprised her rolesas the identical cousins, Patty and

Cathy Lane from the Patty DukeShow, for a series of PSAs promot-ing Social Security’s online serv-ices. In 2010, Duke teamed upwith the surviving Patty DukeShow cast members for an addi-tional set of spots. Earlier thisyear, she teamed up with entertain-ment icon George Takei to encour-age people of all ages to “BoldlyGo” to www.socialsecurity.gov. Inthe three years since Duke has vol-unteered her time with Social Se-curity, millions of people have

visited the agency’s website andthe percentage of online retire-ments has more than doubled.

“While I just applied for retire-ment benefits, I’m not retiringfrom being a Social Securityspokesperson,” Duke says. “I urgemy fellow baby boomers togo online to www.socialsecurity.gov. If you’renot sure how to get started on thecomputer, ask a loved one to helpyou out. I did, and it was so easy.”
