The Norwood Fall Special TownMeeting went off smoothly on Thurs-day, Nov. 12, at the Norwood HighSchool.

Reaching a quorum was no prob-lem and Town Meeting members tookofficials’ advice and voted to dissolveTown Meeting Warrant #1 (the firstof two actual Town Meetings of thenight). The vote was necessitatedbecauseT own Meeting was requiredto meet in person and with a quorumto approve the motion to meet at alater date, more than likely in a vir-tual platform. The meeting’s articlesincluded many zoning and land useitems, as well as proposed projectsfrom the Community PreservationCommittee (CPC), a revolving fundto be set up for fines for sales of to-bacco to minors, a sale of apparentlyextraneous Town land and other itemsthat are not as time-sensitive as thosearticles in Town Meeting Warrant #2.

Town Moderator David Hern said

the reason for pushing back the lengthyWarrant #1 was due to the current spikein COVID-19 cases in the Town ofNorwood, the Commonwealth of Mas-sachusetts and the country as a whole.

He said originally they were think-ing of trying a hybrid model for TownMeeting, since it had been pointed outby some Town officials (most notablySelectman Helen Abdallah-Donohue)that many residents are not comfortablewith virtual meetings and they shouldbe accommodated. Hern said legallythis was more than likely not possible.

“Our view, and this is shared by alot of the towns, a lot of the modera-tors and a lot of the town counsels, isthat the statute does not allow for hy-brid meetings,” he said. “You either goall in-person or all remote. So we aregoing to make plans for a virtual meet-ing in January if the 24-article meet-ing is dissolved.”

The motion was made and while itwas not a unanimous vote, Town Meet-ing voted in favor of dissolving TownMeeting Warrant #1. The main concernfor a few was that of the CPC and the

approval of its Community Preserva-tion Act (CPA) funded-projects.

“There are certain people, in par-ticular Mr. (Peter) MacFarland(Chair of the CPC) with respect toArticle 8 in this warrant, having todo with the CPC, and he is asking thatthat be taken up tonight,” Hern said.“I think there are other people whohad matters they wanted taken up to-night from this longer warrant. I willtell you because we recommendeddissolution, that I would consider ita problem to go forward tonight if thebody voted not to dissolve. We havetold people we are not going to dothis tonight, and if we decided to dothe work of the first warrant wewould be acting in something lessthan good faith with respect to thepeople who might have stayed awaybecause of the understanding weweren’t going to take them up.”

The motion to dissolve passedwith a few audible no votes comingfrom the assembled crowd. Hern said

NFD rescues victim after elevator fallJefJefJefJefJeff Sullivf Sullivf Sullivf Sullivf SullivanananananStaff Reporter

The Norwood Fire Depart-ment (NFD) reported that onSaturday, Nov. 14, the depart-ment received a call for a per-son who had fallen down anelevator shaft at 61 Endicott St.Building 32.

The NFD reported the vic-tim was injured with non-life-threatening injuries and shouldbe okay, but stated he fellabout 15 feet down a freightelevator shaft on Saturdaymorning. According to the de-partment, Norwood Fire Dis-patcher Paul Brown had re-ceived the call and notified

Engine 5 and Ladder 1, whichwere just finishing up a firealarm investigation at CrescentAvenue one mile away fromthe call. Brown also sentNorwood Ambulance 1 fromthe Norwood Public SafetyBuilding on Nahatan Street.

Engine 5 arrived on scenefirst and Lieutenant SeamusMurphy found the single vic-tim down the shaft. He first se-cured power to the elevatorand used a 24-foot ground lad-der to provide access forNorwood Paramedics Mat-thew Dafonte and PatrickMoloney, who worked on thepatient.

Ladder 1 crew provided ad-

ditional ground ladders, ropesand a stokes basket, which isbasically an EMT’s litter orrescue basket. Due to the na-ture of the patient’s injuries,his condition and the time ittook to get him out of the shaft,the NFD decided to call in aMedflight helicopter and trans-port him to the Boston TraumaCenter.

Norwood Fire ParamedicsDafonte and Moloney stabi-lized the patient and the crewwas able to get him out of theshaft. Norwood Ambulance 1transported him to the landingzone at the Wilson Street Base-

The Norwood Trails Advi-sory Committee (NTA) meton Nov. 10 and discussed theprogress the group is makingon three Community Preser-vation Act (CPA)-fundprojects for the next fundinground.

The projects include anAmericans with DisabilitiesAct (ADA)-compliant walk-ing path around the park ad-jacent to the Hawes Pool, aninformational kiosk andviewing deck on the formerdump near Highland Cem-

Chair Joseph Greeley saidcurrently, things are lookinggood, as the Norwood Con-servation Commission alsovoted to support them.Greeley said they have sentthe pitches to the NorwoodCommunity PreservationCommittee (CPC) and theNorwood Board of Select-men. Both boards are cur-

NORWOOD RECORD SHOULDNOT PROMOTE THEORIES

To the Editor:In the paragraph headlined “Important

Truths” in her November 5th column, Jackie Sa-ber referred to Li-Meng Yan’s allegations thatthe COVID-19 virus was intentionally createdby the “evil Chinese Government.”

I am puzzled how such an error slipped bythe editors.

Li-Meng Yan’s accusation was immediatelyquestioned by the global scientific communityin a flurry of statements, papers and articlescontradicting her hypothesis and demonstrat-ing how the virus could not be created in a lab.Her report has been labeled “political, not sci-entific.

Ms. Saber may choose to believe what hasbeen called a conspiracy theory but theNorwood Record should not promote thattheory by allowing her to label unsubstantiatedand dangerous misinformation as “ImportantTruths”.

If the Norwood Record was unwilling tochallenge Ms. Saber, perhaps the paper couldhave inserted a statement to the effect that Li-Meng Yan’s allegations have been widely disputedand have been shown to be without merit. Or per-

haps label Ms. Saber’s column as an Opinion Col-umn. The way it stands now, however, is the appear-ance that either the Norwood Record supports Li-Meng Yan’s theory or is willing to let any theory bepromoted as Truth.

RESIDENTS NEED TODECIDE NORWOOD’S FUTURE

To the Editor:It is unfortunate that the town officials continue to

try to change zoning during these times. Kids can’tgo to school but the town continues to do this. I thinkasking the developers what to do is the wrong ap-proach. They are going to give you answers that ben-efit them. Town officials continue to believe that thedevelopers are our friends. They are not. They wantto make as much money as possible from these de-velopments. I don’t believe any zoning rules shouldbe changed until people are allowed to go to thesemeetings in person and give their opinions. I still be-lieve that it is time for the residents of Norwood todecide what they want the town to look like, not thetown officials or the town meeting members.

Town Meeting continued from page 1there will be training work-shops and a possible rehearsalof Town Meeting in a virtualformat before they go onlinein January. More details on thiswill be reported as they aremade available.

The three articles fromWarrant #2 all passed duringthe meeting, with no real de-bate present but only clarifica-tion on how the Town waschoosing to pay for certaincapital items like vehicles and/or equipment. The biggestticket item within the warrantwas Warrant Article 3, whichincluded separate motions forthe Capital Improvement Planexpenditures of $7.5 millionand the Infrastructure Im-provement Plan (IIP) for $7.3million.

These two expendituresraised a few eyebrows becausethe Town is looking to borrowto pay for these. Town Man-ager Tony Mazzucco said thereason for borrowing is two-fold. Because of the StateBudget’s current uncertaintyfor the upcoming fiscal year(due to COVID-19) they wantto have as much free cash onhand as possible to deal withany holes in the budget in the

future. Secondly, he said thetwo projects of the IIP – a roadrepair program and a water im-provement program – were putin for this year and, hopefully,the next five years as a kind ofpower up to the current waterpipe relining projects and theroad repair schedules.

Mazzucco said that rightnow, the rate at which theTown repairs and relines wa-ter and sewer lines is too slow.He said infusing and investingin the relining process nowwould help save more moneyin less time (as Department ofPublic Works [DPW] DirectorMark Ryan said the Town losesabout $400,000 in unac-counted water use/leakage). Itwould also get the Town to apoint where repairs are notconstantly behind schedule.

Mazzucco said a similarproblem is with road repairs.Some streets see a lot moretraffic more frequently thanother streets and need repairsmore consistently. Because ofthis, smaller residential roadsthat need repaving every 30 to40 years will never get highenough on the priority list be-cause main roads like Washing-ton Street need to be repaved so

often. He said by increasing thecashflow and the work on repav-ing, they can get repair sched-ules to a place where the DPWwill be able to reach thosesmaller roads.

Mazzucco said both the wa-ter improvement plan and theroad repair plan were designedas expenditures to be approvedat Town Meetings for the nextfive years.

“That way we have an off-ramp each year if our Chapter90 money, which is our statemoney, ends up changing, or ifour priorities change within thebudget, or if the debt service getstoo high or too low, we havesome maneuverability,” he said.

The full list of Capital Im-provement Plan items and IIPitems can be found at https://bit.ly/35yWfuz from the Town’swebsite.

The other two warrant ar-ticles involved making up fund-ing deficits from the state man-date of a hybrid and full-remotelearning curriculum be producedby the Norwood Public Schools(NPS). Both were passed unani-mously. Article 1 proposed us-ing $618,232 from Free Cash forfiscal year 2021 and possibly2022 to offset losses in state fund-ing, which was vital to setting thetax rate for the Town accordingto Town officials.

Article 2 dealt with the hy-brid and remote learning for theNPS (which had already real-located over $1 million from itsexisting appropriation) and re-quested that $746,158 be madeavailable from free cash tocover the remaining addedcosts.

My Thanksgivings as a childhad a certain Norman Rockwellaspect to them. You rememberhis classic portrait of grandpar-ents presenting a cooked turkeyto eager family members, infront of which were formal placesettings of china and crystal. Not ‘zactly like that in a ForestHills Street triple-decker butnevertheless .

There was the Eastie-Southie game (never articulatedvice versa, for some phoneticalreason) at nearby packed WhiteStadium—basically the Italiansagainst the Irish, but there wasnever a need for more than ahandful of Boston cops—noBoston School Police or Munici-pal Police in the 50s. All thestores were closed all day. Cran-berry sauce always came incans: no actual cranberries inthe First Nationals and A&P’s. Green Bay Packers vs. the De-troit Lions on black-and-whitetelevision. No shrimp cocktailavailable then: only tomatojuice for appetizers. No dish-washers to clean the mountainof dirty dishes, crystal, and sil-ver, but Ajax or Bab-O for scrub-bing the pots and pans. Nobodyleaving early to get up early forBlack Friday sales.

But this Thanksgiving: yeah,big difference. No large familygatherings. No invitations ex-tended to friends outside of thebubble. Maybe a traditional in-vitee has passed away becauseof COVID-19; another still sickwith it. Some out of work; somewhose businesses have gonebelly-up. Very few local highschool football games to attendor wait for scores. No Latin vs.English, BC High vs. CM, orQuincy vs. North Quincy?

And those bright-eyed eagerrecent high school graduates(but nonetheless nervous be-neath their veneer of cockiness),some of whom had trekked offto college for the first time in lateAugust? No welcoming backthem as well as college sophs,

A Thanksgivinglike no other

juniors, and seniors returning tothe local areas: many didn’t goon campus in the first place. No attendance at local wateringholes for those of age on theWednesday night before TurkeyDay enabling them to catch upwith former classmates.

Perhaps the grace beforethe meal in 2020, no matter howfew are in attendance, will havemore meaning this year than inyears past. Perhaps the bowedheads here will be as gratefulfor the continuation of life asthose bowed heads in Londonright after the blitz or in Hono-lulu after Pearl Harbor on inDresden, Cologne, and Tokyoright after the fire bombings orin Nagasaki and Hiroshima af-ter the detonations of the atomicbombs. This year Americanheads will be bowed on thefourth Thursday in Novemberpraying for those deceased fromCOVID-19, those “long-haul-ers” still suffering from delete-rious effects, for those still un-employed, and for those wholost businesses.

This Thanksgiving ought tobe a time for prayerful thanksthat things could be worse butalso a time to petition for resil-ience to make it through, itseems, many more months ofisolation.


Trails continued from page 3projects, which is a greatsign,” he said. “For the Uni-versity Avenue feasibilitystudy, there is a chance theNorwood Planning Depart-ment – Paul Halkiotis, PatDeschennes and Holly Jonesfrom the Conservation Com-mission – will apply for whatis called a Mass Trails Grantfrom the state. So that’s agood sign and we’ll try to fig-ure out where the money willbe coming from, but so far sogood.”

Greeley said the Univer-sity Avenue trail request isonly for design and feasibil-ity. They would have to getmore funding for the actualconstruction.

The NTA also discussedthe upcoming Town Meetingzoning amendment (set for aJanuary virtual meeting) thatmay designate Route 1 as theonly place in Town to putopen lot vehicle storage. Nownothing is set in stone – justthe week previous the Plan-ning Board toyed with theidea of not allowing any ad-ditional open lot vehicle stor-age in the Town aside fromthe 3,000 spaces it has now –but NTA members said theywere concerned about thepossibility of misuse of pub-lic land if that amendmentwent through. Greeley saidthey would keep an eye on it,but added that in his research

regarding possible trails landoff of Route 1, he found thatthe woodlands in betweenRoute 1 and the SCB/Na-tional Amusements OfficeBuidling was, in fact, Conser-vation Land.

He said originally it wasthought there was some pri-vate ownership on that landthat would make it difficultto place a long trail, but bydiscoverirng the land was con-trolled by Conservation, plansfor a unified or expanded trailthere (if the CPA project dis-cussed above goes through)would be a lot easier. Theonly remaining big issue therewould be access, as there isno parking currently on thatside of Route 1.

“Now the only thing weneed to work on is a foot-

bridge that goes over Route1,” Greeley said.

Greeley also discussed aproposal from MargueriteKrupp regarding a proposedPets Trail Walk sometime inthe future between the WillettSchool and the Father Mac’sPool.

“The goal is to show offour trails and assure the com-munity that with our poochesat our sides, our dogs can bewelcome guests on ourtrails,” Greeley said, readingthe proposal from Krupp,who couldn’t make it to themeeting.

No concrete details on thepet walk are set yet, butGreeley said he felt it was agreat idea, and the NTAmembership did not voice op-position to it.

and reflections Norwood hostson Veterans Day (minus theparade).

“I am honored to serve asthe Town of Norwood Directorof Veterans Services and Veter-ans Officer,” he said. “Welcometo Veterans Day Observancesand Services 2020.”

Mulvehill discussed theholiday’s origins, pointing outthat it was originally the celebra-tion of Armistice Day and thecessation of hostilities of WorldWar I. He said the celebrationhas expanded to encompass allUnited States veterans.

“From the RevolutionaryWar days of Aaron Guild, totoday’s sons and daughters ofNorwood who wear theircountry’s uniform, today, wehonor the veteran,” he said. “To-day we remember how men andwomen set aside their civilianpursuits to serve their nation’scause, defending the freedom ofman and preserving our preciousAmerican heritage. As veterans,we believe our strength on thefield of battle and on the supplylines lay in the justice of ourcause against the forces of evil.We believe that our determina-tion made us better warriors, be-cause we fought with our mindsand our hearts, as well as ourbodies. Out of blood and sweat,we learned of purpose, sacrifice,tolerance, bravery and disci-pline. These are solid foundationstones upon which a great na-tion is built.”

Mulvehill also joined OldParish Preservation Volunteersorganizer Patti Fanning for aspecial presentation in Memo-rial Hall at Norwood Town Hall.She went over the general mis-sion of the Old Parish Cemetery,

and how a major discovery wasmade recently. It was discoveredthis year that the Phipps Broth-ers served in the Union Armyduring the U.S. Civil War, butthat their names were not placedon the names roster of Norwoodveterans who fought, located inMemorial Hall. Despite thecrunch on stone masons duringthis terrible pandemic, Fanningsaid they were able to carve theirnames into the lists in time forVeterans Day.

“We have in Old Parish 16veterans of the Civil War, andnot all of them lived in SouthDedham (Norwood) at the time,some came to Norwood laterand so there are two separateplaces, the veterans buried inOld Parish and the veteranscommemorated here on theplaques in Town Hall,” she said.“Many of the veterans com-memorated on these plaqueswere buried at Highland or theymoved out of Town or some-thing like that. There was a lotof cross referencing that had tobe done to make sure of accu-racy.”

Fanning said there werethree Phipps brothers, AmosEugene, Benjamin and CharlesPhipps. All three grew up inNorwood, and Benjamin andCharles enlisted in the 24thMassachusetts Regiment in1861. Amos Eugene enlisted inCompany E of the 1st RhodeIsland and mustered into theRhode Island Artillery in 1865at the age of 15.

“He didn’t see any action bythe time he was mustered out butall three have gravestones withthe formal regimental grave-stone markers,” she said.

She said Benjamin also mus-

tered out during the war, but thatCharles Phipps was killed inaction during the Battle of DeepBottom on August 15, 1864.

Mulvehill said when hefound out he felt Norwoodshould rectify that situation.

“I said, ‘holy cow, that’s cer-tainly something that needs tobe corrected,’” he said. “First ofall they’re brothers, three ofthem served with honorableduty and we lost one of them inthe line of duty. Service in andof itself during the Civil War isenough to get them recognizedas Norwood Veterans, and theyshould have been on that plaque,but to have one of them die inservice on active duty in battle,that’s even more of a reason.”

Mulvehill said they had tofind a font and typeface thatmatched the plaque, made origi-nally in the 1920s.

“In doing my research Ifound out that lettering on thatplaque was done in 1928 by let-ter carvers, and they were reallyindividual authors of the font ortypeface that they designed,” hesaid. “That is unique.”

Mulvehill was able to find asimilar typeface and he sent itto Signorama in Walpole andthey were able to replicate thefont and get it done in time forVeterans Day.

U.S. Congressman for the8th District of MassachusettsStephen Lynch also spoke dur-ing the ceremony. He said onVeterans Day, observers of theholiday must remember to takecare of soldiers both on and offthe battlefield.

“This pandemic has claimedfar too many lives of our heroicveterans and under conditionsthat do not reflect the love and

high esteem with which theywere held by our nation,” hesaid. “Following the long warsin Iraq and Afghanistan, oftenrequiring multiple deploymentsfor our men and women in uni-form, we must continue to ad-dress the elevated rate ofPTSD and suicide among ourveterans and active military.This is a shared responsibilitythat all owe to our veterans asa nation.”

Norwood Board of Select-men Chair Bill Plasko pointedout that every resident in theUnited States owes each vet-erans a debt of gratitude.

“A casual review of worldand U.S. history makes it abun-dantly clear that our nationwould not exist without the

freedoms and rights withwhich we are blessed, and toooften take for granted, if notfor those among us whom wesalute today,” he said. “Whatmakes our veterans and activeservice members so wonderfulis that they march together toprotect the Constitution, a na-tion and democracy, andfiercely serve their families andfriends. They have not serveda monarch, or a dictator, or anyindividual, but they serve be-cause of their devotion to us.It’s wonderful to set aside thisday to pay special tribute tothese exceptional Americans,though it’s not enough. Weshould show our appreciationfor what they’ve given us 365days a year.”

While the Town’s COVID-19 status was discussed, the re-sults and status change weekly,so residents are encouraged tostay up to date every week bygoing to the HealthDepartment’s website at http://www.norwoodma.gov/depart-ments/health/index.php.

Norwood Public HealthSanitarian Angelo De Luca saidinspections are continuing dur-ing the pandemic, and notedthat one new restaurant has de-cided not to open.

“The owners of HappyKitchen are no longer inter-ested in opening at that loca-

tion, which was the old Bam-boo Cafe on WashingtonStreet,” he said. “The landlordsaid he has another potentialbuyer which will potentiallytake over that location.”

In other news, De Luca saidthere has been an uptick inCOVID-19-related complaintsat food and retail establish-ments, but he said it’s mostlymask-related compliance re-lated.

“The only non-compliantlocation I’ve noticed wasGiorgio’s Pizza, and I did citethem for noncompliance onOct. 20,” he said. “For the mostpart, (the Town) has been prettycompliant.”

Paul’s Canteen.“He plans on working some of the dealerships on Route 1,” he

said.Norwood Public Health Nurse Nicholas Crowninshield said the

Norwood Hospital currently has a testing site up and running forCOVID-19 tests.

“That testing site is not a testing site you can just show up toand there is not a number to call,” he said. “The way that it worksis if you have been asked by myself or Katie or by another publichealth department to get tested because we have determined you’vebeen in close contact with someone infected or you’re not feelingwell, you would need to contact your primary care doctor and theywould fax an order to the Norwood Hospital testing site and thesite will call you for an appointment. I do want to share that they’vereleased the fax number publicly, which is 781-278-4403. Yourdoctor would need to fax the order to that number and the site willcontact you.”

Crowninshield said the results are currently coming back within24 hours and residents can still go to Norwood Urgent Care inWalpole for testing as well.

“You do not need a referral for that but, technically, the NorwoodHospital is the only site doing testing in Town,” he said. “You canalso go to Mass.gov/gettested to find other locations as well.”

Crowninshield also discussed recent guidance from the stateregarding Thanksgiving gatherings. He said the lowest risk gather-ings residents should be participating in are those involving familymembers already in one’s close circle and not involve those youmight not have seen in a while.

“Those who are not in your immediate circle of contacts orwho require out-of-state travel should be avoided,” he said.

Assistant Health Department Director Stacey Lane also gavean update on the current status of Norwood’s supply of and deliv-ery of flu vaccines.

“We purchased about 700 doses and we’ve given out 520 and wehave about 180 remaining,” she said. “So what we’re doing withthat is every Tuesday afternoon we’ll be giving them out from 1 p.m.to 3 p.m. Residents just have to call ahead and set up an appoint-ment.”

Lane said interested residents should call 781-384-9197 to makean appointment. Flu shots will be available to Norwood residents 14years or older with or without insurance until the supply runs out.
