BY CAITLIN FROST

I’ve lived my whole life in a tinytown outside Houston, Texas, thatis probably three times smallerthan that of Norwood. It was atown that had more cows thanpeople, a town where it was notuncommon for my classmates toride their horse or tractor to school,where every family drove a Fordpickup truck, and a townwherewedidn’t get the first traffic light orturning lane until I was twelve. Itwas one of those types of townswhere everybody kneweverybodyand the gossip sounded more likesoap opera plot lines than real lifescandal.

And besides not having majorgrocery stores or decent malls orany doctorworthmaking appoint-ments with, I never knew I wasmissing something.

I’ve lived in Norwood for only afew weeks now, and I have real-ized that Norwood has what mytown inTexas does not: a sense ofcommunity.

You see, I don’t know whoMattBrown is. I don’t know how oldhe is or what he looks like orwhere he lives. I don’t knowwhathis favorite food is orwhat he likesto do for fun or what he wants tobe when he grows up.

But on Friday night, I foundmy-self attending the Comedy NightBenefit for Matt Brown, sur-rounded by these people I’ve never

seen before listening to these co-medians I’ve never heard of crackjokes about Massachusetts townsI’ve never been to. I found my-self amazed by the amount ofpeople who rise to the occasion tosee to it that Matt and his familyhave the money and resources, aswell as the love and support of thetown of Norwood, to fight hisparalysis. And I felt myself alsorising to the occasion, wanting todo anything I could to help out aswell, even though I don’t evenknow who it is I’m helping.

What amazedme evenmorewasafter the show, when I was talkingwith three of the four comedians, Ifound out that they had no ideawho Matt Brown was, either.They had been presented with theopportunity to participate in thebenefit and thought it was worthyenough of their time and attention.

I am constantly astounded andimpressed by this town, muchlarger thanmyown, that takes careof its people in more ways thanjust financial support or an occa-sional news update. It’s as if thetown of Norwood is made up of asingle body, it is a large entity,rather than individual people andcitizens.

So, hats off to you, Norwood.And I strongly encourage every-one to attend the nextMatt Brownbenefit, because I think we couldall use a sense of community.

Articled SubmittedAs theMassachusetts Legislaturehammers out the state budget inthe finalweeks of the session, StateRep. candidate Jim Stanton had asimple message to Beacon Hilllawmakers: Don’t rely on moneyyou don’t have.

Democrats in the Legislature arerelying on one-time revenues andfederal funds in order to pay forwhat is in the budget, and theFY11 state budget appears to be al-ready $700 million in the hole.

In a statement, State Rep. Candi-date Jim Stanton said: “The gov-ernment is simply spending morethan it's taking in. Beacon Hillclaimswe’re on the road to an eco-nomic recovery, but state revenuesstill remain uncertain. The De-mocrats hit Massachusetts resi-dents with over $2 billion in newtaxes and fees last year, and thetaxpayers won’t stand for this

again. The answer is not moretaxes, the answer is less spendingand reform. Government needs tolearn to tighten its belt.”

Stanton, 41, a lawyer and fatherof threewho lives in EastWalpole,

is a former Assistant District At-torney and federal prosecutor withthe Immigration and Naturaliza-tion Service. He is theViceChair-man of theWalpole Zoning BoardofAppeal. This is his first run forelected office.

The thing about benches is thatyou never notice that they’reeverywhere until you’re lookingfor one. What if God was as easyto find?

This is the slogan of Daily LifeCommunity Church, a newChristian church coming toNor-wood in July. Pastor TobeyAubert, native of New England,declares his vision of his churchto be relational Christianitystripped of religious distractions.“We believe God is interested inour everyday living. That iswhere He is, right there on thestreet corner, the supermarket,thewaiting room; the park benchis reminder of that for me,”Aubert says. When asked why hehas chosen Norwood for the spotof his church, Aubert answered,“Norwood’s reputation for familyoriented community was the firstthing we heard of when lookinginto this area. A community thatcares for its neighbors is exactlythe type of place we want to raiseour own kids.”

Aubert moved to Norwood fromConnecticut with the goal to notonly begin a church but to createandmaintain relationshipswith thepeople of Norwood. “Norwoodwas the only place where familywas the first thing locals men-tioned when describing their

town,” he says. “We have alreadymet a number of wonderful fami-lies and look forward to the friend-ships that we’ll discover.”

In a town with a rich church his-tory and culture, Aubert hopes towork together for the benefit of thepeople of Norwood both spiritu-ally and socially. With over 30,000residents, he feels that everyone

desires a connectionwithGod, andencourages residents to maintaintheir current attendance to theirown house of worship. He is sim-ply offering another opportunityfor those who feel they don’t con-nect with a formal religious struc-ture, they desire spirituality. “Wewelcome those non-religiousseekers to discover God in asimple, personal way,” he says.

“The mindset of our churchcan be summed up in this sim-ple pattern, Discover God, livewell, love your community. Ourdesire in giving to Norwood isnot related to our own propertyor programs; it is simply findingthe needs felt by the communityand lending a hand.”

Daily Life Community Churchwill bemeeting on July 11th at theFour Points Sheraton from 10-11a.m. inwhich PastorAubertwillspeak about the church and itsgoals. Services will be held thesecond Sunday of the monththroughout the rest of the summer,and weekly services will begin inOctober.

A will is a legal document cre-ated by you, deemed the testator,to determine how your propertyand assets are distributed afteryour death. Your estate consistsof your assets and property suchas land, furnishings, as well asstocks and bonds. Basically, awill allows you manage yourproperty after your death.

In the state of Massachusetts

any person over the age of eight-een who is of sound mind mayhave a will. In order for the willto be valid, it needs to be signedby the testator, the term used forthe person having the will, or aperson representing the testator’swishes. Two witnesses, who willnot benefit under the will, mustsign in the testator’s presence.The will must be in writing.

The testator determines an ex-ecutor to the will. The personelected for this job administersthe will after the death of the tes-tator. He or she doesn’t necessar-ily benefit from the terms of thewill.

Theremay be a trustee to awill.The trustee manages assets forthe benefit of another. For exam-ple, the trustee may manage thefunds of a will for a survivingminor. The trustee also doesn’tnecessarily benefit from the will.The executor and trustee do nothave to be the same person. Ac-cording to Hern, the executormay be more aware of the testa-tor’s final wishes, whereas the

trustee maybe more financiallysavvy.

InMassachusetts, an estate usu-ally passes tax free to the surviv-ing spouse. This is called aMarital deduction. This may beused to avoid some forms of es-tate taxes.

According to Hern, if you die,and you are married, the estate ispassed to the surviving spouseunless you own over one milliondollars worth of property, inwhich case there are taxationlaws applicable.

“There are two main areas toestate planning…who gets theproperty when you are gone andany tax issues.Any tax problemsor concerns as part of setting upthe estate,” says Hern.

If you search the Internet, thereare multitudes of websites withexample wills and other legaldocuments. But a will and itsmany facets are more compli-cated, and Hern recommends avisit to an estate planner for guid-ance through the complexities.

Hern makes an initial appoint-ment with a prospective client,then sends them along with“homework.”These are the toughquestions to be considered, suchaswhowill be the trustee, and thebenefactor.

He suggests a will be updatedevery five years to reflect (the tes-tator’s) wishes.

If you do not create a will orother legalmeans to transfer yourassets after your passing, yourpropertywill be distributed basedon Massachusetts law. Propertywill be distributed to your spouseand surviving children or to otherrelatives according to an alreadydetermined legal formula. If thereare no relatives found for your in-heritance, your property will goto the state of Massachusetts.

BY JACKIE MASLOFF

Off the main thoroughfare of thetown of Norwood on Day Streetsits a large red brick structureknown as the Norwood MasonicBuilding that is home to severalMasonic lodges, including UnionLodge, Lafayette-Dover and thelargest of which is Orient Lodge.All three lodges are in the 6thMa-sonic District within the GrandLodge of Massachusetts, and Ori-ent Lodge is one of the largestlodges in the district, chartered in1861 by theGrand Lodge ofMas-sachusetts.

A lodge is a home to freema-sonry, which is a fraternity of menthat get together not only for socialreasons and companionship butalso for service to there commu-nity. Orient Lodge provides a va-riety of opportunities for bothindependently led charity work,lodge and member donations,Lodge sponsored communityservice events, and collective op-portunities in and around the 6thMasonic District.

Led by their Master, WorshipfulDonaldE.Barry, Sr., Orient Lodgeparticipates in numerous commu-nity activities. One of their largestevents is the TONY awards whichjust celebrated its 40th year inNor-wood. TONY stands for Ten Out-standing Norwood Youth and isgiven to ten high school studentswho live inNorwood. Between 30and 45 nominations aremade fromSeptember to October 31st. Eachnominee is sent a packet in whichthey have to answer five questionsabout their volunteering and howthey volunteer with their faith.There is also a 300 word essay onwhat volunteering means to them.In order to be considered a nomi-nee they must fill out the form.Each form, once submitted, is as-signed a blind identification num-ber.

The blind forms are then judgedon one night in early December atthe Lodge by five Judges, onefrom the Women's CommunityCommittee, one from theTownof-ficials, one from the business com-munity, one from the clergy intown, and one from the Masons.The forms are rated 1 to 10 with10 being the highest. The two co-chairs of the TONY the scores todetermine the top 10 winners.

The nominees are invited to abanquet that is held on the lastMonday in January at the Lodge,where all nominees are recognized

and given a certificate for their ac-complishment. There is usually aninteresting speaker who talks onvolunteerism. This is followed bytwo separate awards: the FatherRobert Dwyer Award for extraspecial service to one’s Churchand the Joe Pierce ScoutingAwardfor extra special work in Scouting.

The final event at the Banquet isthe announcing of the ten winnersin no particular order. Each re-ceives a plaque, a citation signedby the Governor and a $1,000.00savings bond.

For the past couple of years, theLodge has also awarded aTeacherof theYear Award to an outstand-ing teacher in Norwood. Nomina-tions are made by peers, and thefinal candidate is determined by anexecutive board. SeanRichardson,one of the past winners, was so in-

fluenced by the Lodge that hejoined Orient Lodge and is one ofthe officers this year.

Members of Orient Lodge alsohold does blood drives throughoutthe year and held one MemorialDay weekend. They encouragepeople to come to the drives bycooking pancakes, sausages andcoffee for all who donate blood.

Orient Lodge also sponsors anANGEL program to help schoolchildren who may need help witha emergency purchase, but the par-ents are unable to afford it.An ex-ample would be broken glassesthat the family cannot purchase.TheANGEL fund is not meant toprovide ongoing support but tohelp with specific individualneeds.

The CHIP program, or Child

Identification Program, is alsosponsored by theMasons of Mas-sachusetts, partnering with theMassachusetts Crime PreventionOfficersAssociation and theMas-sachusetts Dental Association.Orient Lodge, as part of this pro-gram, holds several eventsthroughout the year inwhich iden-tifying materials are donated andprovided to families to assist infuture identification should thegrim task ever become necessary.CHIP has identified more than275,000 children since its incep-tion in 1988, and it continues toassist families today.

Materials provided by the pro-gram include a videotaped inter-view of the child that can bequickly distributed to themedia inorder to reach a huge audience;fingerprints; tooth print bite im-pressions, which are as unique asfingerprints and a cheek swabusing a Q-tip to gently rub the in-side of a child’s cheek to gatherDNA material. Worshipful Donmentioned that theGrandLodge isnow making an investment in thisprogram so that all new digitalequipment will be used.

Orient Lodge alsoworkswith thelocal Boy Scouts Troop 242. Inorder to start the celebrations of theLodge’s 150th anniversary nextyear, the local boy scouts helpedwith reupholstering of the all seatsin themainLodge roomand paint-ing of the benches and chairs. Therest of the room will be paintedover the summer. The Lodge con-tinues to work closely with thelocal troop as several of the mem-

bers of the Lodge are assistantScout Masters.

The real celebrations for the150th anniversary begin in Sep-tember on the 11thwith the Instal-lation of Officers for the comingyear. February, which is the actualanniversary date, will be high-lighted by a charter re-dedicationceremony to which the GrandMaster of Masons in Massachu-setts has been invited to officiate.In May there will be a specialchurch service in which membersand their guestswill walk from theLodge to the First CongregationalChurch in Norwood accompaniedby the Shrine Bagpipers. Com-pleting the celebrations of the daywill be a harbor cruisewith dinner.

Orient Lodge has 210 memberswith typically 50 coming to themeetings held on the secondMon-day of themonth, fromSeptemberto June.As previously mentioned,the building is host to other Ma-sonic Lodges as well as SamosetChapter of Eastern Star, a fraternalorganization primarily for womenbut one in which both men andwomen participate, as well as afew other Masonic bodies. Ac-cording to the Master, WorshipfulDonald Barry, Orient Lodge likesto “keep the building as busy aspossible and not have it like a mu-seum.”

Orient Lodge frequently holdsOpenHouses for thosewho are in-terested in joining the Lodge. Ifyou would like more information,you can email the Lodge at [email protected].

Itwas the night of July 1, 1776whenCaesar Rodney of Delaware receivedan urgent message that demanded hispresence in Philadelphia as soon aspossible. A vote was to be taken onwhether the 13 American coloniesshould declare independence fromBritain, and Rodney’s support wasneeded since his two other colleaguesfromDelawarewere split on the issue.Although Philadelphia was 80 milesaway, and the47-year-oldRodneywasafflictedwithapainful facial cancer, heimmediately set out and rode all nightthrough the pouring rain and crashingthunder, stopping only long enough tochange horses.Rodney arrived at the StateHouse inPhiladelphia on the morning of July2nd just in time to vote on a resolutionto separate from Britain. Representa-tives from12of thecolonies supportedthe resolution,withonlyNewYorkab-staining, and Thomas Jefferson, a 33-year-old lawyer from Virginia, wasgiven the taskof stating the reasons forseparation. Jeffersonhadproposed thatJohn Adams of Massachusetts writethe statement, but Adams declined,saying to Jefferson that “I am obnox-ious, suspected, andunpopular; youarevery much otherwise,” and “you canwrite ten times better that I can.”On July 3rd, Jefferson’s draft of theDeclarationof Independencewas sub-mitted to the delegates and, after twodaysofdebate, itwasapprovedonJuly4th and ordered proclaimed through-out the Colonies. Only John Hancockof Massachusetts signed the Declara-tion that day, and a formal signing byall thedelegateswas scheduled forAu-gust 2nd. The 56 men who signed thedocument that day knew full well that

theywerecommittinganactof treasonagainst the British Crown and that thepenalty for doing so was death byhanging.Theyknew that theywere in-deed, as theDeclaration said, pledging“to each other our lives, our fortunes,and our sacred honor.”JohnHancock, afterwritinghisnamein large, bold letters, said: “There! HisMajesty can now readmy namewith-out spectacles, andcannowdouble thereward of 500 pounds for my head.That is my defiance.” BenjaminFranklin of Pennsylvania said that“yes,wemustall hang togetherormostassuredlyweshall all hangseparately.”StephenElleryofRhode Island, aneld-erlymanafflictedwithpalsy, said, “Myhand trembles, butmyheart does not.”These 56 men, who spoke for sometwoandahalfmillionAmericans,werea spectacular group of public-spiritedandpatriotic citizenswhohad foryearsbeenactiveparticipants in theaffairs oftheir local communities. Ranging inage from26 to 70, they included pros-perous merchants, wealthy farmers orlandowners, lawyers and judges, doc-tors, clergymen, and educators.Though they were among the eliteof 18th-century America, they werenot elitist. They were moral men,mostly religious, and all men ofintegrity who had a great deal to lose,butwhowere convinced that the cause

wasworth the risk.That risk was not only substantial, itwas imminent.On the day of the sign-ing, the British fleet – an armada ofdozensof shipswith42,000sailors andsoldiers – was waiting off the coast tocrush these patriots and make an ex-ample of them. Behind that fleet wasall thewealth and power of the BritishEmpire. Arrayed against this mightwas a Continental Army of 10,000men and a handful of poorly equippedand badly trainedmilitia in the severalcolonies.Fewwithaknowledgeofhis-torywouldhavepredictedanythingbutdisaster and ruin for those gathered inPhiladelphia during the first week ofAugust in 1776.In point of fact, disaster and ruinwasthe lot of many of the signers. Ninediedofwoundsorhardshipsduring theWar for Independence.Fivewere jailedand brutally treated. One lost all 13 ofhis children. The wives, sons, anddaughters of others were killed, im-prisoned, harassed, or deprived of allmaterial possessions. Seventeen sign-ers lost everything they owned, and allof them were hunted as traitors, withmost separated from their homes andfamilies.Consider the sacrifices of ThomasNelson Jr. ofVirginia.During the siegeofYorktown in1781, theBritish forceswere under heavy attack from some

16,000 colonial troops, 3,000Virginiamilitia, and the French Fleet. WhenNelson, the militia commander, no-ticed that the artillery gunners wereshelling everything in the vicinity ex-cept his own stately brick mansion,whichwas being used asBritish head-quarters, he asked, “Whydoyou sparemy house?” An artilleryman replied,“Sir, out of respect to you.” Nelsonshouted, “Give me the cannon,” andthe next round fired from thegunwentthrough themansion,killing theBritishofficers inside and destroying theNel-son home.ThomasNelson,whodied inpovertyafterpayingoffhiswartimedebts “likean honest man,” said that he was onlyhonoring a pledge he had made sixyears earlier. “I amamerchantofYork-town,but I amaVirginian first,” hehadearlier declared in the House ofBurgesses. “Let my trade perish. I callto God to witness that if any Britishtroops are landed in the County ofYork, of which I am Lieutenant, I willwait no orders, but will summon themilitia and drive the invaders into thesea!”Like Nelson, none of the 56 signersever betrayed his pledgedword.Therewerenodefectors.Noonechangedhismind.Lives and fortuneswere lost, buttheir sacredhonorwasnever sacrificed.Half continued to serve their country

after the war – several as President,many as Members of Congress, gov-ernors, and state legislators – and anumber of them later played a role indrawing up the Constitution of theUnited States.What prompted these men to put onthe line their lives, their fortunes, andtheir sacred honor? The Declarationlists some 27 grievances against theBritish Parliament and King GeorgeIII, who had imposed one oppressivemeasure after another on theColonies,increasing their taxes and decreasingtheir freedoms. Numerous attemptsand petitions to end the “repeated in-juries and usurpations” had been un-successful, said the Declaration, andonly by declaring independence couldthe Colonies prevent “the establish-ment of an absolute tyrannyover thesestates.”In justifying their actions, Jeffersonsaid that “we hold these truths to beself-evident, that all men are createdequal, that they are endowed by theirCreatorwithcertainunalienable rights,that among these are life, liberty, andthe pursuit of happiness.” He said that“to secure these rights, governmentsare instituted among men, derivingtheir just powers from the consent ofthegoverned,” and that “whenever anyformof government becomesdestruc-tive of these ends, it is the right of thepeople to alter or to abolish it, and toinstitute new government, laying itsfoundation on such principles and or-ganizing its powers in such forms, asto themshall seem likely to effect theirsafety and happiness.”Jefferson said that the signers did notbelieve in changing a long-establishedgovernment “for light and transientcauses,” but when “a long train ofabuses and usurpations, pursuing in-variably the sameobject, evinces a de-sign to reduce them under absolutedespotism, it is their right, it is theirduty, to throw off such government,and to provide newguards for their fu-ture security.”The men who signed this historicdocument would be astounded if theywere alive today to hear of someAmericans who want to remove anymention of God from the publicsquare. For these signers referred toGodno less than four times in theDec-laration, appealing, for example, to the“Supreme Judge of the world for therectitude of our intentions” and statingthat “with a firm reliance on the pro-tection of Divine Providence, we mu-tually pledge to each other our lives,our fortunes, and our sacred honor.”Aswemark the240thanniversaryofour independence this July, let us onceagain recall the sacrifices and braveryof those who signed for us, and let usvow to take an active role in safe-guarding the freedoms they made itpossible for us to enjoy.JimDrummey is a lifelongNorwood

resident with a lifelong interest inAmerican history.

DogsGeorge has been at the animalshelter for only aweek now. He isa three month old pitbull puppythat loves to play and loves atten-tion. “He’s a great dog,” animalcontrol officer Henry Cerqueirasaid. “He likes to have fun and heloves being around people.”

Georgewas picked up by animalcontrol on the 8th of June, andsince his stay at the animal shelter,he has doubled in size. “He’sgoing to be a big boy,” Cerqueirasays.

“Pitbulls get a bad rap,”Cerqueira says. “If he’s broughtup right, and if he’swell socializedhe’s not a problem. The first yearis the most crucial. He needs afirmhand and someone that knowshow to handle the breed.”

George is ready for adoption, butCerqueira says he won’t adopt thedog out to just anyone. He’s look-ing for a single person, or a couplewith no kids, that know how tohandle pitbulls andwon’t raise him

up to be a dog that is feared bypeople.

In addition to George, Cerqueirahas been taking care of Rosie, atwo-year-old houndmix that camein a few weeks ago. Though hedoesn’t know where Rosie camefrom, he says she’s had a hard life,and he’s looking to pass her off to

someone that will give her a betterhome.

“She has a sweet, perfect dispo-sition,” he says. “She loves to bewalked and she’s a really calmdog. She’d be perfect with a fam-ily with kids.”

The Norwood Animal Shelter isopen Mondays through Saturdaysfrom 3:30-5:00 p.m. For more in-formation, call NUMBER or stopby at PLACE.

CatsIt’s cat season for Neponset Val-ley, and there are so many kittensand abandoned cats that the Hu-mane Society has started lookingfor alternative shelters to take the

animals in, and some families haveoffered to foster the pets. Which isthe predicament Lily and her ba-bies Clementine and Daisy havefound themselves in; foster pets ofa Norwood family.

“Cats turn up all the time andturn out to be pregnant,” NeponsetValley Humane Society workerJaneDonahue says. “And thenwehave to find places to put them all,and that becomes difficult.”

Lily is the mother cat and lovesto be around people, especiallychildren. She’s a very social catand likes to be petted. Her babies,Clementine and Daisy, also likepeople. “They are beautiful kit-tens,”Donahue says. “They’ve gotthe sweetest temperament.”

In addition to fostering andadopting cats and kittens, the Hu-mane Society also offers a low-cost, monthly spay and neuterclinic open to all cat owners.

THE PE T PAGEmost important things we do,”Donahue says. “It’s a way for any-one to get their cat spayed orneutered, and because of the eco-nomic times, we make sure to keepthe cost low enough for anyone toafford.”

The price is $80 for females and$70 for males. But that’s not all.“The cost of adoption also includesthe price to spay or neuter the cat,”says Donahue.

To adopt a cat four months oryounger, the cost averages about$125. This includes the price ofshots and vet examination as wellas to get the cat spayed or neuteredwhen it’s old enough. For a catthat is older than six months, theprice is generally less, because it’salready been fixed.

such a tremendous amount of as-sistance. We would also like tothank the following people/busi-nesses who helped to make thissuch a great success. First andforemost, thanks to our two part-ners-The Norwood Bank and TheFred Astaire Dance Studio; with-out their generous support theevening would not have been pos-

sible. NPATV, Concannon's Vil-lage, Martignetti's, Men's Ware-house,

Norwood Printing, Ed Hickey,Olde Colonial Cafe, Lewis' B^rand Grille, Colonial House,George Usevich, Jack McCarthy,Jim Hilliard, Mark Chubet, Sueand Tom Bunker, Mike and EllieBergeron, Laurie and TomAligheri, Dessert Works, and avery special "Thank You" to ourcelebrity judge, Maria Stephanosof Fox TV. My apologies if Imissed anyone.

Last, but by far not the least butthe MOST, we would like to thankall of the people from Norwoodand surrounding towns who havebeen there for us from day one.Your support has allowed us to as-sist so many who would otherwisehave had nowhere to turn.

On a personal note, I would liketo thank, from the bottom of myheart, all of the members of ourBoard for allowing me to keep mypromise to Michelle. It was her vi-sion to have a fundraiser for "noone in particular" and to have thatmoney available when someonewas stricken with a catastrophicdisease.

She knew "first-hand" what itwas like to be in that position andhow much her fundraiser meant toour family. This is her way of say-ing "Thank You, Norwood".

Each spring for the past 5 yearsNorwood Youth Lacrosse has par-ticipated in The Melissa RoseKradin Lacrosse Tournamenthosted by Canton Youth Lacrosse.NYL sends 3 age groups includinggrades 3/4, 5/6 and 7/8 to competein tournament style play againstneighboring towns Canton, Mil-ton, Sharon and Westwood. The 5town program plays 3 days worthof games culminating with play-offs and the championships onSunday afternoon. TraditionallyNorwood has faired extremelywell at The MRK, winning theoverall town championship thefirst 4 years only to relinquish theoverall title this year to a strongcontingent from Westwood. Infact, this year saw Norwood andWestwood competing in each ofthe 3 championship games. De-spite strong competition and greatgames from Norwood, Westwood

took the age group trophies at the3rd/4th grade level as well as the7th/8th grade level. The Norwood5th/6th graders showed superiorstrength and skill winning theirtitle game convincingly against aWestwood group that lost only tothe impressive Norwood squadthroughout the weekend.

This year The Kradin took on adifferent meaning. In a true signof compassion and sportsmanshipCanton Youth Lacrosse humbledall by announcing that proceedsraised at this years event would besplit between the Melissa RoseKradin Foundation and The MattBrown Foundation. Scott Con-nolly, President of Canton YouthLacrosse had this to say about thisyear’s MRK Tournament:

“As you know the tournament isnamed after Melissa Rose Kradin.Melissa passed away from cancer

several years ago. Her parents,Rick and Audrey Kradin startedthe Melissa Rose Kradin Founda-tion after her death. Their hardwork has led to numerous im-provements at Tufts Floating Hos-pital as well as providing funds forresearch. In our small way, thistournament has helped them in as-sisting many others.”

“It has come to our attention thatwithin our communities othertragedies engulf part or all of usfrom time to time. One that re-cently devastated Norwood wasthe tragic incident to Matt Brown,who was paralyzed during ahockey game. At times like thiswe feel we need to reach out to ourneighbors. For that reason, at a re-cent board meeting, Canton YouthLacrosse decided to change theformat of how funds from the tour-nament would be spent. In the fu-

ture, when we as a communityface a tragedy like that of MattBrown, the proceeds from theMRK tournament will be split be-tween the MRK Foundation andthe cause facing our community.If we are blessed and do not havea tragedy in our midst the proceedswill go to the MRK Foundation.So in keeping with this format, thisyear’s proceeds will be split 50/50between the MRK Foundation andThe Matt Brown Foundation.”

The MRK Tournament is some-

thing we look forward to everyyear and it is no doubt the high-light event for the towns partici-pating, next years tournament willbe the first time Norwood will bechasing as opposed to defendingthe Overall Town Championship.

NYL is coming off its 8th seasonof participation in the Mass BayYouth Lacrosse League. Many ofNorwood High’s perennial statetournament team members devel-oped their skills and passion forthe game playing lacrosse forNYL. We encourage all interestedin playing the fastest game on foot to join us in the spring of2011. Visit http://www.norwood-lacrosse.org/ for more informationon our program.

Norwood Police Beat

Article provided by Jeffrey Sudman of Xtreme Action Sports.It is that first glimpse into anotherperson’s innermost self when wemay begin to speculate upon theircharacter, potential success, andfuture, and to everyone’s amaze-ment this glimpse was evident atthe age of nine for Jeffrey Sudman.Nine years-old seemed much tooearly to know such a great dealabout a person with so many yearsahead of him, yet it also seemedsurprisingly obvious that thisyoung boy retained a unique andinsatiable love for business. Onequickly noticed a precocious senseof understanding of the most basicyet essential components to busi-ness, which distinguished himfrom his peers. Jeff found enjoy-ment in various activities with hisfriends but went astray in hisrecognition of business aspects likesupply and demand and customersatisfaction. It was through thesetwo underlying principles he wasable to employ his dedication andsagacious disposition in takingcontrol over the market for the

product most popularly consumedby his age group, candy. It was notmerely this sugary product thatkept his friends, family, and otherNorwood youths visiting his candystore situated in the shed of hisbackyard, but his devotion towardgiving people the products theywant and satisfaction they deserve.

At the age of fourteen Jeff took aposition at a McDonald’s close tohis house looking to gain insightand experience in the working-world. It was not until Jeff turnedsixteen he would be able to utilizethis knowledge and attempt to sat-isfy the everlasting ambition of be-coming a successful entrepreneur.Jeff had developed a passion forthe sport of paintball and saw noother way of furthering his lovethan starting his own business sell-ing paintball products. At sixteen,with the help of his father, Jefflaunched himself into the businessworld through selling paintballequipment on eBay as well as hiscompany website, executed fromthe basement of his home. Expan-sion seemed inevitable, for he was

consistently buying and sellingmore products with the limitedstorage space of his basement.More importantly, he had main-tained his dedication and exuber-ance toward popularizing paintballwhile fulfilling his innate curiosityand admiration for business.

The Hogey-Bear warehouse inWalpole became the new head-quarters and home of his excellingpaintball company, while he de-voured the challenge of having hispersonal paintball equipment linemanufactured overseas. A fewyears later Jeff soon found himselfcommuting from college at RogerWilliams University to his com-pany in Walpole in order to main-tain numerous online companies.Balancing the course-load in orderto achieve a bachelor’s degree inbusiness and the workload of op-erating an entire company was un-heard of throughout the collegedorms; however, Jeff’s extraordi-nary business sense and thirst forsuccess enabled him to earn a degree while also adapting hisbusiness to the exceedingly com-petitive and changing online mar-ket. After attaining his degree inbusiness from Roger Williams Jeff

enacted the decision to expand hisonline exploits to additionallyowning a retail store on Provi-dence Highway in Norwood, aswell as broadening his product lineto include military and tacticalsupplies. By doing so, Jeff ac-quainted himself with the dilemmaof time, a kind of Catch-22 thatbaffles and immobilizes even thegreatest of minds, a predicamentthat would require the sacrifice ofinvaluable time with his family andfriends. It was no longer a matterof time management and balanc-ing acts, it was a condition of sacrifice and strenuous work inorder to keep alive the dream thatwould hopefully one day become a reality.

Jeff experienced his most recentchallenge in his attempt to open apaintball field in the local area,which proved to be surprisinglydifficult and immensely controver-sial. Within many unpopular andmisunderstood ideas one almostalways finds opposition, and theidea of a paintball field proved nodifferent. It was perhaps the mostdifficult business challenge he hadyet to face, and it appeared to re-tain little hope of success. Opposi-

tion and struggle was met withsubsequent resilience and res-oluteness in order to uphold theburning desire to give the sport ofpaintball and its players a place tofinally play. The Xtreme ActionSports paintball field and retailstore consists of 15,000 square feetof crafted wooden bunkers andscenario games, located at 153Washington Street in Walpole justfive minutes from the basement itall began. It was through thisachievement Jeff fulfilled what hehad initially set out to do, give thepeople a place to play the sportthey love.

It is those who devote themselvesentirely to what they do and whothey do it for that we need more ofin the business world, for it is thosepeople who genuinely care for theintegrity of their work as well astheir customers. Whether it is anine year-old boy selling candy tohis friends in the backyard, or atwenty-four year-old entrepreneurcontrolling multiple online com-panies, achievement is found in theidea of getting as much out aswhat’s put in, and for Jeff Sudmanit was only a matter of time beforewhat came out was success.

‘Tis ten twenty-four,and I am not tired.

I’ve been thinking allday, yet I am not done.

Have I still the timeto feel? Is that science?

‘Tis ten twenty-eight,and Have I made progress?

Can there always bea scientific method?

‘Tis ten thirty-two,and now I realize

That the clock will notstop, and neither will I.

Ought I to go to bed?Does science exist

in sleep, as well asin a young man’s feelings?

I should only hopeso; that science lives on
