BOS grant beer and winelicense to Minas, talk weed

Sam NickSam NickSam NickSam NickSam NickererererersonsonsonsonsonStaff Reporter

The Board of Selectmenvoted 4-1 to grant Minas Caféone of the special Wine andMalt Beverage licenses for theSouth Norwood general busi-ness district during its June 14meeting.

Up to four such licenses –meant for restaurants, to allowtable service of beer and wineonly – were requested by TownMeeting members in November2014 by an almost 2:1 ratio, at-torney for the applicants DavidHern, Jr. said, and three werelater allocated by the state.

“My clients and their fam-ily have operated Minas Caféat 1241 Washington St. … for12 or more years and last yearthey expanded into space that’sreferred to as 1243 WashingtonSt.,” Hern said.

Hern noted that a restauranthas been an authorized businessat the site for around 40 yearsand that common victuallers(CV) licenses have beengranted continuously by theSelectmen there since.

According to Hern, theowners believe they could bet-ter sustain their business as adestination in South Norwoodwith beer and wine services.Hern said the business wouldsimply like to have some of thesame advantages as businessesin the central business districtthat have similar licenses.

Town Planner PaulHalkiotis also submitted a let-ter supporting the granting ofthe license, saying it would behelpful to bolster the economyin South Norwood.

Hern said the owners andstaff were T.I.P.S. certified andthe owners had worked in otherlocations with alcohol servicein the past.

“My clients are experi-enced, they are eager, they puttheir hearts and souls into thisbusiness over the last dozen-plus years and they expect tofor a long time to come,” Hernsaid.

Selectman Helen AbdallahDonohue – who was the oppo-sition vote – raised legal ques-tions regarding the zoning ofthe site where the restaurant islocated, as it is partially in abusiness zone and partially ina residential area.

Noting that the Town ofNorwood does not grant usevariances, Donohue suggestedreferring the matter to TownCounsel, to determine whethera restaurant in a residential areacould serve alcohol, seeing asthe zoning bylaw did not usu-ally allow restaurants in resi-dential zones. The motion did

not receive a second.Hern contested, based on

correspondence from the build-ing inspector, that the restaurantqualified as a pre-existing, non-conforming use and the zoningbylaw was silent on the matterof differentiating between busi-nesses that serve alcohol andthose that don’t. He also said itwas not a zoning matter eitherway, and that the Selectmen,which have repeatedly grantedCV licenses at the site, are tomake the determination, not thezoning bylaws.

Selectman Paul Bishopagreed, saying Minas Café had“every right to step forward andrequest” a license. He also saidthe Selectmen were in the busi-ness of economic developmentand this would be an opportu-nity to do so.

A number of business andresidential neighbors – includ-ing abutters and the owner ofthe laundromat next door toMinas Café – spoke in favor ofthe business receiving the beerand wine license.

Madeline Eysie cited therecord of professionalism andquality of the owner-operated,owner-run business.

“This is how the Town gotstarted,” she said.

Abutter Michael Saad wasopposed to the business receiv-ing the license because of thepossible effects on quality oflife for neighbors.

“We’ve cleaned up SouthNorwood, we want to keep itthe way it is,” he said.

Ultimately, the Selectmenand Minas Café agreed thatMinas would remove itscounter seats – because the li-cense specifies table serviceand does not allow for bar ser-vice – and replace them withtables, and the business wouldbe able to operate with beer andwine until 9 p.m. during theweek and until 10 p.m. on Fri-day and Saturday.

“What sits before us is theAmerican dream,” Bishop said.

Medical MarijuanaThe Board of Selectmen, by

a vote of 3-2 to sign a refinedCommunity Host Agreementwith Middlesex IntegrativeMedicine (MIM), which seeksto operate a medical marijuanadispensary on Astor Drive inthe Town of Norwood, and tooffer a letter of non-opposition.

The move comes after theSelectmen had voted to enterinto an agreement with MIM,and after Selectman Bill Plaskohad negotiated with the com-pany. According to Plasko,some changes to the agreementwere made, including increas-ing the minimum annual con-tribution to the Town each year

and language around MIM’sobligation to establish a chari-table nonprofit in the Town.There were also increased se-curity measures and assuranceagainst operating a recreationaldistribution site, should thestate legalize recreational use.

Town and Country MEMORIAL DAY/D-DAY/FLAG DAY Even though the Memorial

Day parade was canceled due toweather, it could not erase theemotions felt by the citizens ofa grateful nation. We have laidour beloved military familymembers and friends to rest hereat Highland Cemetery, and milesbeyond in American Cemeteriesin Europe, 27 total, with 11 inFrance alone. It goes withoutsaying that without our militarymen and women of WWII, thereprobably would be no recogniz-able Europe today.

Many of you, as I, have lostloved ones now interred in Eu-rope. Their deaths are beyondsad and changed our country inmany ways. My uncle, alongwith hundreds of other Ameri-cans, was killed in Belgium andis buried in Margraten, TheNetherlands. To this day Belgianfamilies make sure the flowersare put at the gravesite with re-spect and love for America.Many of us are in contact withthe caretakers of our loved ones.It looks as though the respect isfading over there due to theiryoung peoples’ indifferent atti-tudes and lack of respect formilitary, as is happening here inAmerica.

IN HIS OWN WORDS WHY I STAND AT THE

WALL…by NPD, Lt. BrianMurphy, Ret.

Lt. Murphy is the first to behighlighted in the magazine,“REFLECTIONS, FROM THEWALL.” Brian donates his timeat the Vietnam Veterans Memo-rial. “I have long admired thecontribution of the park servicevolunteers at the Vietnam Vet-erans Memorial. The reverencethey show to the 58,307 namedon The Wall, and The Wall it-self as a Memorial, is a testa-ment to the adage that ‘we mustnever forget their sacrifice.’ Asa Gold Star ‘little brother,’ thevolunteers treated me with greatrespect when I answered the callof VVMF for people to come toThe Wall to participate in theReading of the Names in 2007and 2012. I was too young tohave served in Vietnam, but Iwas old enough at 11 years oldto immediately understand thedevastating loss my family suf-fered when my brother, RichardB. Murphy (Panel 57W Line 29)was killed in 1968. I have nowreached many of the milestoneshe sacrificed; marriage, chil-dren, career, and most recently,retirement from my career as apolice officer. I now have timeto go to The Wall (six visits inmy first year as a volunteer, eachtime for three or four days). I amdrawn there to Protect andServe, to protect the memorialas hallowed ground and to servethe family, comrades, friends,and curious who come to paytheir respects. I feel we owe itto the men and women to helptell their stories.”

Selectmen got one decision right and one decision wrong attheir Tuesday night meeting. The right decision was to ignorewhat was an attempt by Selectman Helen Donohue to blockMina’s Cafe from obtaining a beer and wine license under theguise of “legal concerns.” Whatever her real reasons were fortrying to throw Mina’s Cafe under the bus, following the letter ofthe law was the last thing on her mind, and her actions werepainful to watch.

“I represent all of South Norwood, and I am expressing theconcerns of all of the abutting residents who aren’t here tonight”,said Donohue. Really? Well, if they’re so concerned why didn’tthey show up? Where were all the emails and letters sent to se-lectmen in opposition of the license from these “concerned abut-ters?” To try and win an argument by utilizing the old phantomconstituents trick should really be upsetting to every TM mem-ber who voted in support of the licenses sought specifically forthe South Norwood neighborhood to help vitalize the businessarea of Washington St. If Selectman Donohue was really con-cerned about all of South Norwood, she should have kept thatTM vote in mind unless, of course, she believes she knows betterthan everyone else what’s good for her neighborhood.

Are there a few in South Norwood who probably don’t likethe idea of a beer and wine serving license in that strip mall?Definitely, as evidenced by all around good guy Mike Saad, some-one who contributes a great deal to South Norwood. But theNIMBY attitudes of a few, and they really are just a few, pale incomparison to the benefits of having more businesses like Mina’sCafe decide to open up shop in South Norwood.

Given the fact her family owns bountiful real estate in theneighborhood as well as a liquor store, it would be fair to wonderif perhaps Mrs. Donohue was far less concerned about the wellbeing of “her constituents,” and much more focused on her per-sonal agendas. And for those of you who think that would be anunfair assumption, where was this champion of the neighbor-hood when the threat of a rink was causing many to lose sleep atnight?

The wrong decision made by Selectmen was to vote to ap-prove the money contract between the Town and one of the medi-cal marijuana dispensaries wanting to come here. It was nice tosee Selectman Howard have the fortitude to admit his originaldecision to support these pot shops was wrong and change hisvote. Those in favor, Selectmen Plasko, Mahoney and Bishop,think the few bucks these businesses will bring to Town is worthall of the risks Police Chief Bill Brooks brought to their attentionat a prior meeting. It’s blood money and if Norwood officials dideverything in their power to keep these dispensaries from doingbusiness here and if something awful was to happen, like a mari-juana-impaired driver killing someone on Norwood roads, at leasteveryone here could sleep at night knowing they did everythingthey could to prevent it from happening.

The argument that alcohol kills people every day yet we stillsell it doesn’t mitigate the Chief’s concerns. And to suggest thatthe Town should contract for the money because they may not beable to stop these companies from coming to Town anyway is sheep-ish. Norwood is better than that. And finally, a Sharon, Walpole,Medfield, Dedham, Canton or Westwood dispensary can just aseasily service those residents of Norwood who really need medi-cal marijuana, so the whole, ‘where is your compassion?’ argu-ment is silly. Just Google social service agencies in Norwood andyou’ll get an idea of how compassionate Norwood has been in thepast and continues to be. And though many of these agencies doremarkably good work, the reality is there are needles found on thestreets and vagrants and homeless needing attention, at least a per-centage of which can be attributed to them. There are also the con-tinuous notations in the police logs of these agencies needing as-sistance. Norwood does more than its fair sure; you can be sureabout that. One letter writer recently wrote that this should be anissue for Town Meeting to decide. Perhaps he’s right...

This summer, hundreds ofathletes and thousands of fansfrom around the globe will betraveling to Brazil for the Sum-mer Olympics. Among them willbe an athlete with ties toNorwood.

Danielle Page, 29, a formerNebraska Cornhusker fromColorado Springs, will be partici-pating in the Women’s Basket-ball competition, having playedprofessionally in the WNBA andin Europe since 2008.

But she won’t be competingwith Team USA. Page will beplaying for the Serbian NationalTeam.

“It’s truly one of those situa-tions that’s very hard to make anexplanation of how you feelabout it,” Danielle’s grandfather,Norwood resident Ed Page, said.“From the time that it began, it’sjust dreamlike to think it’s hap-pened.”

Though Ed won’t be makingthe journey, his wife, Ann Pageand other members of Danielle’sfamily are all traveling to Brazilto support Danielle.

“We have geared up withSerbian caps and Ann has aSerbian polo shirt that Daniellegave her,” Ed Page said. “Ofcourse, thank goodness forGoogle, we went off and did ourresearch and have been gettingsome handle on the Serbianpeople and culture, and we or-dered a Serbian flag and an

Olympic flag.”According to Ed, Danielle

has been playing in France for

several years and was recruitedfor the Serbian team by its coach,Marina Maljkovic. Danielle be-

came a naturalized citizen ofSerbia in March 2015, andhelped to lead the team to theEurobasket Women champion-ship in Budapest last year, earn-ing the team, ranked 17th in the

and electronics repurposing.Many of these businesses inter-ests would like to have a smallretail component to their loca-tion, Hern said.

As such, Cathartes is seek-ing a permit to allow use of upto 20,000 square feet of theproperty’s 300,000 or so squarefeet for retail purposes.

Cathartes DevelopmentManager David Depree said thefacilities are not suited to largeindustrial uses anymore and thecompany wants to lease out tosmaller businesses and trades-men.

Cathartes, which bought theproperty in January, is seekingup to 20,000 square feet to bedivvied up among all the ten-ants because individual tenantswould otherwise have to waitseveral months or longer forspecial permits just for theirspace. Hern pointed out thatmany prospective tenants mightnot want to wait that long andwould pass on leasing there.

Hern said the renovation of

the property and its expandeduse could create local jobs, at-tract more businesses andpeople to do business in Town,and it could be valuable from atax perspective.

“Over the past several years,the property has been the sub-ject of tax abatement proce-dures, it wasn’t being rented,”Hern said.

Hern said the PlanningBoard supports the applicationand had been in discussionwith the applicant about thecreation of an overlay districtthat would allow retail in cer-tain manufacturing areas byright, but no such article madeit in time for the May TownMeeting.

“It’s no longer an industrialpark, it’s more of a commercecenter with a mixed use of in-dustrial and commercial uses,”Depree said.

Board of Appeals memberPatrick Mulvehill said he wasin favor of the idea “in theory,”citing the success at the old in-

dustrial property at 61 EndicottSt., but expressed concernsabout traffic, which were ech-oed by members of the public.

“Short to Washington is ayeoman’s work sometimes,there’s a lot of accidents downthere,” Mulvehill said.

Patty Bailey of St. John Av-enue said she was impressedwith the project, as it is an oth-erwise “blighted area,” butsaid she was concerned aboutthe narrow bridge running overMorse Street with the potentialincrease in traffic to the area.

Michae l Novesco ofShort Street said he sup-ports the developer fixingup the area, but said the traf-fic on the road is already sobad that he sometimes can’tget out of his own driveway.

Members of the ZoningBoard also expressed theirconcern over retaining somecontrol over what sort ofbusinesses go into the prop-erty, considering the blanketapproval of up to 20,000square feet of retail space.

The hearing was continuedto June 21.

Chase leads to fatal crashSam NickSam NickSam NickSam NickSam Nickererererersonsonsonsonson

Staff Reporter

Norwood Police Depart-ment, along with county andstate officials, is investigatinga fatal one-car crash that tookplace late on Wednesday night.

Norwood Police OfficerJames Payne reported that hehad tried to stop a speeding caron Route 1 at the intersectionof Route 1 and Dean Street - hehad signaled the driver - but the

driver sped down Dean Streetwestbound instead.

As the officer tried to catchup, the short chase ended whenthe vehicle ran through theDean and Washington streetsintersection in South Norwood,and crashed into a stone wallnear Dominos Pizza.

The driver, 38-year-oldBenjamin Stimer, was killedinstantly, Norwood Police said.

Norwood Police Spokes-man Kevin Grasso said the man

was a Norwood native who hadbeen living out of state untilMay. There were three warrantsout for the man’s arrest and hisdriver’s license had been re-voked.

The investigation is stillongoing, and involves the Nor-folk County District Attorney’sOffice and the State Police Col-lision Analysis and Reconstruc-tion Section. Grasso said the

no easy task.“(Her citizenship) was received with mixed

emotions. They’re very patriotic and proud of theirsmall country,” Ed Page said. “There was a lot ofsentiment about why did they need an Americanon their team.”

Page said Danielle was paired with a Serbianplayer who spoke English, and Danielle immedi-ately asked her teammate to help her learn theSerbian national anthem.

“When the European champion tournamentbegan last spring, the camera came on the teamduring the national anthem and there’s Daniellesinging away,” Ed Page said. “That little gesturehad tremendous effect not only on her teammates,but on the whole Serbian population that waswatching.”

Page said Danielle was last in Norwood arounda year and a half ago, but said she is very familiarwith the Town, having been coming here since shewas young for holidays. Her father, a formerNorwood High basketball team captain, often tookher to shoot hoops at various locations around town.

Page said Danielle began as a soccer player,but was told when she tried out for the high schoolteam as a freshman that no freshmen would makethe varsity team. Page said Danielle knew she was

as good - or better - than many of those who didmake the team, so she decided to go out for basket-ball instead.

That started a remarkable career in Colorado,where she was selected to state all-star teams, and arecord-breaking career at the University of Ne-braska. Since then, Danielle has played in Connecti-cut - until an injury forced her overseas - Israel,Bulgaria, Poland and France.

Page is hoping that Danielle will not only haveher family cheering for her, but also the Town ofNorwood.

“To think you can look at this young womanwhose playing out there and say, ‘oh, I know hergrandparents,’ we’re proud of it and maybe a lotof other people in Norwood will join us in feelingproud and happy for our granddaughter,” Pagesaid.

And for the Page family who will be attendingthe Olympic Games this summer, they’re packingtwo sets of colors: American and Serbian.

“We’re just crossing our fingers and wonder-ing if they what happens if they end up playing theUS,” Ed Page said. “It’s going to be a real chal-lenge for us to put our loyalties out there.”

Serbia is scheduled to play the American teamon Aug. 10.

After the crash, Norwood Fire Department was notified, andan engine company and ambulance arrived on scene shortly after11:21 p.m.

Lt. George Bent of Norwood Fire requested more assistancefrom the Department’s other ambulance and Ladder Company,as access to the vehicle was limited by fencing, trees and thestone wall debris. The process to retrieve the driver took aroundan hour to complete.

“Firefighters were able to cut and remove the fence and treesso engine company members could pull a hand line to extinguishthe engine compartment which was on fire,” Norwood FireSpokesman George Morrice said. “Ladder Company membersused rescue jacks to stabilize the car and the Jaws of Life wasused to remove the Mini Cooper’s roof so paramedics could ac-cess the patient.”

Paramedics, upon seeing an absence of vital signs, declaredthe driver dead on scene. Fire Department personnel cleared thescene at 12:45 a.m.

Superintendent of SchoolsJames Hayden said he and hisadministration team wereaware of the space problem atthe Willett and were conduct-ing student research and read-ing the reports on the matter.Hayden likened the matter toa house and that they would be“arranging the furniture in thehouse,” to best accommodate

the students.School Committee member

Lisa Igoe asked if there wasroom for preschool classes atany of the elementary schools.Hayden said it was not a goodidea to isolate the preschoolclasses, and the elementarystudents would have to sacri-fice a computer lab or havetheir art classes come to themain classroom on a cart.

School Committee memberPatrick McDonough said hewas concerned that there wereclasses being taught on thestage at the Willett.

“I find it so unacceptablethat we’re teaching classroomson a stage,” he said.

Hayden said a readingteacher was working withsmall groups on the stage, butno other school was usingstages for academic classes.Hayden also said the stage wasnot a homeroom or regularclassroom, but a space forreading teachers to pull stu-dents from their classes towork with them in smallgroups.

Also during public forum,Norwood Teachers Associa-tion president Jodie Smith re-ported that Norwood teachersattended the Norfolk CountyTeachers Association banquetand honored two of their ownwith nominations for awards.

Carol Poirier received anaward for her involvement inschool-community partner-ships. Poirier was instrumen-tal in creating “successfullearning opportunities forchildren and families,” in-cluding the Village Centerfree preschool and tutoringprogram, Smith said.

The Norwood contingentalso nominated high school

foreign language teacherCindy Derrane for the NCTAHonor Award, in part for herwork leading “one of thestrongest foreign languageprograms in the state,” Smithsaid.

“Cindy Derrane celebratesthe world and her studentslove her for it,” Smith said.

During the meeting, el-ementary math coordinatorJill Milton discussed the el-ementary summer math pro-gram in Norwood.

The voluntary program isin its second year and Miltonmade a point of showing howmany different ways studentscan fulfill the requirements.

In addition to online mathgames websites, includingSumdog.com, Envision 2.0,Greg Tang math, Milton notedmobile apps like Sushi Mon-ster, as well as board gamesand flash cards. Milton evensaid students could use “realworld math” by helping withgrocery shopping or mealpreparation.

According to Milton, prac-ticing math for 10 minutes aday, five days a week “makesa huge difference when [thestudents] come back toschool.”

Milton said each schoolrecognizes those who partici-pate in the summer math pro-gram in different ways, in-cluding via extra recess orreading the students namesover the morning announce-ments.

Assistant SuperintendentAlec Wyeth said the program,while not compulsory, is agood way “to have [the stu-dents] ready to jump right intosome fresh new learning at thenext grade level.”

It’s been somewhat of aslow start for the NorwoodPost 70 American Legion base-ball team, but manager PaulSamargedlis isn’t too con-cerned yet.

Following Monday’s 4-2loss to Franklin Post 75,Norwood sits at 1-3 after thefirst week of the season, itslone win coming in extra in-nings over Walpole Post 104on Sunday night (11-10 ineight innings).

“We made too many mis-takes that resulted in giving upruns,” Samargedlis said afterone bad inning did his team in.“You can’t kick the ballaround.”

Brian King was more thanserviceable despite taking theloss, pitching a complete game

while allowing four runs onnine hits. He struck out fourand walked four, sufferingthrough only one rough inningin the bottom of the first.

After retiring Franklin’sleadoff hitter, King allowedfour straight runners to reachbase on three singles and awalk. Post 75 scored threetimes in the first but tacked on

only one run more in the third.“We’ve got to do better

mentally,” Samargedlis said.“The defense is going to bethere, I’m not worried aboutthat. But this was a winnablegame and I thought we let itgo.”

Norwood mustered onlyfour hits, none over the finaltwo innings.

“We’re not striking out asmuch, we’re not chasing asmany bad balls,” Samargedlissaid of Post 70’s approach atthe plate, something he’d beenconcerned with coming intothe summer. Norwood struckout only twice vs. Franklin.“Hitting...you’re going to havesome bad at-bats, you just getfooled.”

Trailing 3-0 in the top ofthe third, Mike Keady leggedout an infield single -Norwood’s first hit - to lead the

frame off.Keady stole second and

reached third on a pass ball,only to see the next two Post70 hitters retired. But back atthe top of the order, PaulGalvin reached on an error,successfully scoring Keadyand putting Norwood on thescoreboard.

Michael James, hitting be-

hind Galvin, worked the countto 3-0. With two outs, Jameshad the green light to swing onthe next pitch and clobberedthe ball to straightaway center,the ball rising in its flight be-fore finally landing just shy ofthe wall.

Galvin scored easily whileJames approached second.Whereas many runners wouldhave stopped, James took ad-vantage of his elite speed anddove headfirst into third, safewith a triple for Norwood’sonly extra base hit of the con-test.

Its lead cut to 3-2, Franklinadded an insurance run in thebottom half of the third tomake it 4-2.

King was nearly flawlessfrom there on, but after a MikeFlynn pinch hit single in the topof the fifth, Post 70 went 0 forits final 8 at the plate.

“We’ll be fine,”Samargedlis said, stepping no-where near a panic button de-spite the slow start.

Norwood lost its seasonopener to Westwood Post 320last Wednesday, 7-1, and fell toNorfolk Post 335 on Friday

night, 5-3.It’s another busy week

ahead for Norwood, with actionbeginning last night at MedfieldPost 110 in an event held afterthe Record’s deadline.

They’ll continue atNeedham Post 14 tomorrownight at 7 p.m. at NeedhamHigh School, and faceWestwood for a second time onSunday afternoon at 5 p.m. atWestwood High.

Allen is new Boys Hockey CoachJakJakJakJakJake Lee Lee Lee Lee LevinvinvinvinvinStaff Reporter

Chuck Allen has been hiredas head coach of the Norwoodboys hockey team, per a releasefrom athletic director JonLongley.

Allen, 54, replaces BillClifford, who retired in Februaryfollowing a 27-year run with theprogram - the last 15 as headcoach.

Allen joins Norwood after abrief stint at Bishop FenwickHigh School in Peabody, wherehe spent the last one-and-a-halfseasons as varsity head coach.After taking over on an interimbasis during the 2014-15 season,Allen led the Crusaders to theirfirst postseason appearance as aDivision 1 team in program his-tory in his lone full year behindthe bench, going 9-9-2 beforefalling to Chelmsford in the first

round. “Chuck believes strongly in

community service and sports-manship, as his teams have beenrecognized by the MIAA by win-ning the James F. Mulloy TeamSportsmanship Award on fourdifferent occasions,” Longleysaid in the release.

Allen also has stops atMedford and Somerville HighSchools as a head coach in hiscareer. He led Medford to back-to-back Super 8 appearances in2004-05 and 2005-06, includingan undefeated regular season (17-0-4) in the latter. Medford ad-vanced to the crossover roundthat season, falling to eventualstate champion BC High.

He’ll inherit a Norwood teamthat reached the postseason in 11of Clifford’s 15 years as headcoach, including as recently asthe 2013-14 school year. But thelast two winters have been roughfor the Mustangs, who went 3-

12-5 in 2014-15 before failing towin a game this past season, post-ing an 0-19-1 mark. Norwoodalso lost to its soon-to-be-formerBay State Conference rivalDedham this winter for the firsttime since 1988.

The coaching change won’tbe the only difference forNorwood this coming season, asnonleague opponents Hingham,Pope Francis and Duxbury havebeen dropped from the schedule,according to Longley. Hinghamand Pope Francis were each Su-per 8 teams a season ago, whileDuxbury was a Division 1 tour-nament team.

Longley said the Mustangswere looking into keepingBrockton on the schedule as anon-league opponent; Norwoodhas tied the Boxers in each of thelast two seasons, with thisseason’s 2-2 result on Feb. 17providing Norwood its only pointof the season.

Norwood received a spe-cial visitor for a great causeon Tuesday, as Red Sox thirdbaseman Travis Shaw paid avisit to town for Stop &Shop’s “Help Cure ChildhoodCancer” program.

Shaw came to the Stop &Shop location at 1415 Provi-dence Boston Highway for anevent in a partnership with theDana-Farber Cancer Instituteas part of Stop & Shop’s an-nual fundraiser across NewEngland locations in supportof pediatric cancer researchand treatment, having raisedover $60 million over the last25 years.

While there, Shaw signedautographs and took pictureswith Maddie, a pediatric can-cer patient from Canton whois the ambassador for Stop &Shop’s current campaign,which launched on June 10.Maddie was celebrating her8th birthday on Tuesday, andwas serenaded by a chorus ofStop & Shop staffers singing“Happy Birthday.”

Over the course of themonth-long fundraiser, cus-tomers at Stop & Shop are en-couraged to contribute to theprogram by donating at check-out, with 100 percent of do-nations going directly to

Dana-Farber and the JimmyFund.

“It means a lot, the RedSox do a lot with the JimmyFund and it’s for a greatcause,” Shaw, who’s in hisfirst full major league season,said of attending the event inNorwood. “Anything that wecan do to brighten somebody’sday – I know I enjoy comingout to these type of events –it kind of puts everything intoperspective, that there’s a lotmore important issues thanjust baseball.”

Shaw said that he’s beenlucky in that he hasn’t beenseriously affected by canceron a personal level, and thathe considers himself quite for-tunate in that regard. But thatdoesn’t deter his enthusiasmfor helping out those whohaven’t been as lucky.

“It’s fun meeting thesekids, doing whatever I can tohelp,” he said.

Phil Tracey, who works inthe front office of Stop &Shop’s New England division,appreciated Shaw making anappearance on the same daythe Red Sox opened an impor-tant 10-game home stand withthe Baltimore Orioles.

“Travis was so kind to do-nate his time and meetMaddie, so it’s been incred-ible,” Tracey said. “We’re justthankful Travis took the timeout of his busy schedule, came

out to Norwood and reallysupported the cause. He’s pas-sionate about the Dana Farberand Jimmy Fund, as all of theRed Sox are; we’re thrilled.”

Shaw joined a star-studdedcast of attendees to theNorwood Stop & Shop for theannual fundraiser with RedSox ties, including Jim Riceand Tim Wakefield, said storemanager Brandon Dellay.

Rice is a member of theBaseball Hall of Fame whospent his entire 16-year careerwith the Red Sox (1974-89),while Wakefield racked up186 wins in 17 seasons with

the team, good enough forthird on the club’s all-timewins list behind Cy Young andRoger Clemens (192 apiece).

“It’s nice to have him here,draw some excitement and geteveryone involved,” Dellaysaid.

Like Shaw, Dellay, who’sbeen manager of the Norwoodstore for three-and-a-halfyears, hasn’t had anyone im-mediately close to him af-fected by cancer. But also likeShaw, he enjoys partaking inevents that help raise aware-ness for cancer in the hopesof some day finding a cure.

Shaw, a native of Washing-ton Court House, Ohio, worea shirt with the caption“Cleveland Is The City” in-scribed across the front.While his hometown isroughly three hours fromCleveland, Shaw professedhimself to be a big fan of theCavaliers, who currently trailthe Golden State Warriors, 3-2, in the best-of-seven NBAChampionship.

“They won [Game 5],”Shaw said. “I think they’ll winin Cleveland, then Game 7who knows. But it’ll get toGame 7 I think.”

Norwood-based CES fighter Matt Tullos is now 1-1 after suffering de-feat at Twin River Casino in Rhode Island last week.

COURTESY PHOTO

In March, Matt Tullos ofNorwood’s Connors MartialArts cruised to victory in his pro-fessional MMA debut at CES33, when he forced his opponentinto a first round submission.

Things didn’t go quite ac-cording to plan for Tullos in hissecond pro bout last week, as the23-year-old featherweight suf-fered his first pro defeat at thehands of Merab Dvalishvili in aunanimous decision at CES 36at Twin River Casino in Lincoln,R.I.

But if you were expectingTullos to be feeling sorry forhimself after the loss, guessagain.

“He was able to implementhis game plan better than I couldimplement mine,” Tullos saidafter his career record evenedout at 1-1. “I think this loss gaveme a lesson, stuff to work on.”

Tullos, who’s 5-foot-10,weighed in at 146 pounds for thefight. Dvalishvili, who’s 5-foot-6, weighed in at 145.

A Brazilian jiu-jitsu special-ist, Tullos had trouble withDvalishvili’s judo and wrestlingtechniques over the course of thefight that lasted all three rounds.Dvalishvili, a New York native,improved his pro record to 3-2.

“They’re all grappling partsso it wasn’t very different, buthe was very good at a few tech-niques and he was able to hitthem,” Tullos said of the con-trast in styles between the fight-ers. “I just had trouble stoppinghim.

“He didn’t do a whole lot,but he did enough to win. Thatwas my fault, I should have beenable to do a little bit more.”

Despite the loss, Tullos suf-fered minimal damage from aphysical standpoint other than acut above his eye. Still, that dif-fers from his first fight, fromwhich he escaped completelyunscathed. Tullos won his debut3 minutes, 46 seconds into thefirst round on a “rear nakedchoke,” in defeating ShanBachok of Fairfield, N.J. onMarch 11.

While he didn’t say that he

would’ve fought the next day, ashe did after his debut, Tullos in-sisted that he still felt fine.

He also thinks the loss maynot have been the worst thing inthe world for him long-term, asit will alleviate the pressures ofcarrying an undefeated recordinto subsequent bouts.

“I think there’s a huge ben-efit in losing now,” he said. “It’salmost like in the movie ‘Rag-ing Bull,’ there’s a scene whereJoe Pesci is talking to [Robert]DeNiro and he says ‘if you winyou win, if you lose you win.’

“It took the pressure off ofme and it’s going to make peoplewant to fight me a little bit more.It’s going to be easier to getfights because guys think they’llbe able to [win]. Once I makethose improvements I think I’llbe all right. I don’t see anybodydoing that to me anytime soon.”

Tullos said he’s unlikely tofight at any point this summer,and will focus on fixing what hedid wrong vs. Dvalishvili back

Tullos continued from page 10

at Connors.“I’m not sure right now,”

Tullos said of exactly whenhe’d next step into the octa-gon, setting a tentative time-table of September or Octo-ber. “I’m just going to focuson making some improve-ments – stuff that I learnedthat I should have been doingbetter in this fight. And thenonce I feel like I’ve made

some improvements I’ll startlooking to grab another fight.But most likely once thissummer’s over.”

Tullos sent out a tweet themorning following his fightwhich further demonstratedhis resolve: “I’ll be back. I’llprove to be the baddest manin the division.”

Ever aware of his sur-roundings, Tullos acknowl-

edges he’s fortunate to havethe opportunity to be a pro-fessional f ighter at al l ,whether he wins or loses –especially in light of the trag-edy in Orlando, Fla. earlySunday morning.

“I’m not too worried,there are bigger problems inthe world – as we’ve seenover the last weekend,” hesaid. “Life could be worse.”

Selectmen continued from page 3The changes were handled by Town Counsel

Brandon Moss, who worked on the Town’sMedical Marijuana bylaws.

Chairman Allan Howard said he made a mis-take in his previous support of medical marijuanain the Town and was against entering into theagreement because of recent opinions from lawenforcement and accidents possibly related tothe medical marijuana.

Plasko, who said he still had concerns aboutmedical marijuana and was opposed to recre-ational marijuana, said such matters were usu-ally related to enforcement, and that Norwood

and the state have established robust regulationsto maintain control over the issue. He also saidthat many of these things were going to happen,even if Norwood does not get a dispensary.

Selectman Tom Maloney said entering intothe agreement would be a wise move because itis preemptive – especially in the event Norwoodgets a dispensary without Town blessing or anagreement – and proactive in that the Town ischoosing who its potential business partners areand the terms of how business is done.

Howard and Donohue represented the twoopposition votes.

The owners of Minas Cafe on Washington St. in South Norwood packed the Selectmen's chamber with familymembers and supporters during a hearing regarding the business' request for a special beer and wine license.
