New Businesses Fairing Well in 

Norwood Center 

by Renee Plant 

As Norwood Center continues 

its revitalization process, new 

businesses opening in the area 

hope to enhance the downtown 

experience for residents. 

“The best thing about being 

in Norwood Center is the opportunity 

it brings,” said Joe Fisher, 

local manager at True Value in 

Norwood, which opened this 

past August. “There is a lot of 

opportunity [for businesses to 

grow] in the downtown area of 

Norwood. I’d like our store to be 

a great stepping stone toward the 

revitalizing of the downtown.” 

According to Fisher, the location 

of the store has been advantageous 

for business, as he says 

foot traffic brings in customers. 

Still, he acknowledges there are 

challenges given the type of 

business he runs. 

“People have come in from 

running their errands, leaving 

the bank, things like that,” Fisher 

said. “For a brand-new store, we 

are doing pretty well, though this 

time of year there is a lull that 

we anticipate will pick up again 

when the weather warms up. It 

might take a similar retail store 

near us that complements us to 

really drive more people to stop 

in.” 

There is a vast range of retail 

in the downtown area ranging 

from restaurants, entertainment 

facilities and specialty stores. 

Phillipe Chelala, who with his 

wife co-owns Chelala Jewelry & 

Gifts, says his store has received 

positive feedback since its opening 

in 2014.

“We have been delighted by 

the response of the people of 

Norwood,” Chelala said. “[Customers] 

have been supportive, 

and we feel confident about the 

future.” 

While Chelala emphasizes 

his satisfaction with the store’s 

location, he says some there 

have been a few minor drawbacks.

owns Keystone Jewelry & Gifts 

in the Walpole Mall, says the tax 

rate has increased since opening 

the store; this comes after both 

residential and commercial property 

values in town were reassessed 

last year. 

“The property taxes did seem 

about 10 percent higher than Walpole’s,” 

Chelala said.

One other issue Chelala noted 

is with parking, which he says 

could potentially be solved by assigning 

a spot or two to each store. 

However, he stated parking concerns 

have not been great enough 

to affect business. 

“Parking has certainly been an 

issue our customers have brought 

up,” Chelala said. “However, our 

customers can use the big parking 

lot behind our store.” 

It’s not only retail establishments 

that are opening up downtown. 

Pastor Steven Hathaway 

of the Heritage Baptist Church, 

which opened in its new location 

on Washington Street last July, 

said he feels his church has found 

its long-term location in Norwood 

Center after a number of moves 

over the past decade. 

“Our church was started by 

another church in 2004,” Pastor 

Hathaway said. “We began in the 

high school, then moved to Walpole 

Street, and then Vanderbilt 

Avenue. We have always been a 

Norwood church, so it was a natural 

transition for us.” 

Hathaway said this location is 

ideal due to its accessibility, and 

that staying in Norwood was the 

right decision for the church because 

the town has a strong sense 

of community. 

“This is a perfect location for 

our church since we are right in 

the middle of town and it is easy 

for people to get to us,” Pastor 

Hathaway said. “Beyond that, 

the people of Norwood are super 

friendly, and we are happy to be 

part of the community. We are 

thankful to be here.” 

Stores and organizations may 

not be arriving as quick as some 

may like, but it does seem that 

Norwood Center is turning a corner 

towards offering the community 

some great incentives to visit 

downtown.

My son Sean is a junior 

at Norwood High School. In 

March he will be seventeen. I 

don’t know exactly where the 

time went. But I do know that 

soon enough my boy will become 

a man-whether I like it 

or not. 

And unlike his older sister, 

whose junior year consisted of 

touring state schools from here 

to what seemed like an eternity, 

my son has other plans. 

When he was little, army 

guys were his toy of choice. In 

fourth grade he would go to 

school wearing head to toe fatigues 

and a big smile. 

One year, we went to the 

Big E, and there were Marines 

there. They had a station set up 

in which kids could try and do a 

chin up. Sean did a few and was 

awarded a lanyard. 

Years later, he can’t seem to 

find his wallet, and would probably 

lose his head if it weren’t 

attached. But he always manages 

to find his Marines lanyard 

(I’m sure it helps that he house 

and car keys are attached). 

My father served in the 

army. He always made it a 

“If you only have a hammer, then 

every problem looks like a nail.” 

Out and About 

My March Madness 

point to say that it was during 

peace time. To me, he served 

and gave four years of his life 

regardless. His flag is one of my 

most prized possessions and is 

displayed in my living room. 

In an age where teens seem 

to be more concerned with 

what the Kardashians are up 

to, and who tweeted what. My 

son wants to serve his country 

and become a Marine. 

He has a plan-to eventually 

become a police officer (like my 

father before him) or go into 

some form of law enforcement. 

College isn’t for him. He doesn’t 

want to waste our money. He 

wants to serve his country. 

I am proud of him, of the 

man he is becoming. At the life 

changing choices he will make. 

But I am also sickened by 

these choices. Like any other 

mother, I want him to be safe. 

And in a world that seems to 

have gone completely crazy, the 

thought of potentially letting 

him go, so he can quite possibly 

be placed right in the middle of 

it all- keeps me up nights. 

And he hasn’t even signed a 

slip of paper yet. 

He has asked my husband 

and I to “sign off ”, so he can 

join the Marines at 17. We have 

both refused, agreeing that he 

By Dawn C. Fitzgerald 

has to finish high school. 

Right now, we are all at a 

stand-still. I have agreed to take 

him to a recruiter. And he has 

agreed to look at two schoolsbut 

could care less which ones, 

or where they are. 

Twice I asked him to talk to 

the guidance office at Norwood 

High to get information on colleges. 

Both times he returned 

with a recruiter’s number-conveniently 

forgetting college brochures. 

On numerous occasions, the 

hubby and I have tried to talk 

him out of his choice. To guide 

him in another direction. 

He thinks we aren’t proud of 

him. We are proud of him, but 

also terrified for him. 

This will be a very long, 

crazy year for us-starting with 

the Madness of March and 

knowing we only have one year 

left before everything changes. 

I know my son. He will do 

what he wants. He always has. 

And I will be proud of him, 

whatever decision he makesalthough 

I’m pretty sure it’s already 

been made. 

I find myself hugging him 

more. Hanging on every word 

he says. Trying to be a bit more 

patient with him. Because I 

know all this will soon be ending- 

with spring things will 

begin anew. 

As a parent, we have kids, 

watch them as they grow. Try 

and protect them with warnings, 

helmets, and hand holding. 

And even though there 

are days we want to kill themmostly, 

we love and support 

them, and hide our fears from 

them. We pray they turn out 

okay, stay safe. Grow up to be 

good people. 

I want all of that for my 

son. I am watching as he grows 

and matures in the choices he 

is making. I just want him to be 

safe through it all. 

Let the March Madness 

begin. Although he is excited 

for this year, and what is to 

come. I am hoping the clock 

ticks a bit slower. He is ready, I 

am not. And I don’t think I will 

ever be. 

Soon enough this journey 

will be his. 

And I will always be proud, 

and supportive (at least on the 

outside). As I worry sick on the 

inside

musicians, artists) and people 

trying to get back on their feet, all 

while teaching them about sales, 

marketing and customer service.” 

For Tereshko, employing fellow 

veterans is a personal commitment, 

and he works hard to 

handpick a staff who will honestly 

represent his brand. In return, 

he grooms and empowers them 

through all aspects of the business 

to become exceptional ambassadors 

of College Hunks Hauling 

Junk & Moving. 

“We teach, not just picking 

this up and putting this down,” 

Tereshko said. “We teach them 

business, marketing, sales and to 

look at their truck as their office. 

We also teach financial aspects of 

business, such as profit and loss, 

debt servicing and cash flow. If 

they know where the money goes, 

they can serve our clients better.”

Having Fibromyalgia 

Doesn’t Mean You Have to Live with Pain! 

With Spring around the corner, 

people look forward to planting 

their garden, spring cleaning, or 

playing outdoor sports, unless you 

suffer from Fibromyalgia. Fibromyalgia 

robs you from the ability 

to be active due to chronic unrelenting 

pain and swelling of the 

joints, muscles, and tissues. This 

persistent pain over time very 

often leads to depression because 

of the inability to enjoy life, have 

mental focus and complete daily 

living activities. 

Jane C. visited her primary 

physician when the pain began. 

She was originally told that it was 

arthritis pain and was referred to a 

rheumatologist who diagnosed her 

with fibromyalgia and put her on 

anti-inflammatory and pain medicine. 

When she saw no relief, she 

was then referred to a physiatrist 

who gave her exercises to improve 

her movement and muscle tone. 

As the pain persisted, she continued 

to go back to her doctors for 

answers and was told “you just 

have to learn to live with it.” That’s 

when a friend told her about The 

Holistic Center at Bristol Square 

in Walpole. 

At our Center, we examined 

Jane and found the underlying 

stressors irritating her musculoskeletal 

system. Changing her 

diet, putting her on a nutritional 

supplement program to restore 

the tissues and opening the communication 

highway between the 

brain and the body through Chiropractic 

adjustments allowed the 

healing to begin. 

Today, Jane C. is excited for 

Spring. She is already planning 

her beautiful garden and looking 

forward to getting outside to take 

walks with her dog. She is following 

her treatment schedule and 

sticking to her nutrition plan as 

well. She now knows how to manage 

her fibromyalgia in a way that 

allows her to live the life she always 

thought she would have. 

If you or someone you know is 

suffering with pain from Fibromyalgia, 

contact The Holistic Center, 

at Bristol Square, 1426 Main 

Street, Walpole, (508) 660-2722, 

to schedule an appointment.

4 Simple Remote Control Organizing Solutions 

By Debbie Tremblay, A.K.A. 

The Organizing Genie 

The other day I spent time reminiscing 

back to a simpler time when 

the family would gather around the 

television to watch such classics as 

“Happy Days,” “The Partridge 

Family,” “I Dream of Jeannie” and 

my dad’s favorite, “Adam-12.” During 

that time, we had a handful of 

channels to choose from and here’s 

the shocker, we had to physically get 

up and change the channel! 

Fast forward to the 20th century 

and I’ll be the first to admit, I’ve 

become quite accustomed to, and 

enjoy, living in this fast paced world 

of technology. The downside is 

that every new gadget, gaming system, 

TV, DVD player, arrives with 

a remote control companion which 

quickly becomes a clutter hazard all 

over our living room coffee table. 

It’s ironic that these convenient 

devices called “remote” controllers 

have a way of magically disappearing 

to an undisclosed remote area 

when you need them the most. 

Many of us don’t even know how 

to operate our TV without their 

controllers, which is why it is so important 

to create a designated home 

for them. 

Here are 4 simple remote control 

organizing solutions that the whole 

family can use to finally put an end 

to that frustrating question, “Have 

you seen the remote control?” 

Sure, you can spend money on 

a stylish remote control organizing 

solution, but I suggest using an item 

you may already have at home, such 

as pretty wicker basket, decorative 

Additionally, the night honored

vase, photo box, clear shoe box, etc. 

Why spend the extra money when 

you can put something else to good 

use for once? 

Label each remote and place it 

on the same shelf with their appropriate 

counterpart. 

Clear plastic ‘over the door’ shoe 

organizers are perfect for organizing 

remote controls and video game

controllers. Label each pocket to a 

specific type of controller. Just take 

as needed and return as necessary. 

Place all instruction manuals in 

a binder so if by chance the remote 

gets lost in a vast black hole or falls 

through the couch into Narnia, you 

can call the manufacturer to order 

a replacement or easily find the 

model number to locate an equivalent 

model at your local electronic 

store. Replacements can be cheap, 

varying by models and design so the 

option is always available. 

No matter which system you 

choose, the most important step is 

to teach the whole family to place 

all remotes back into their new appropriate 

homes. 

Ambassador of the Year: Paula 

Burke, Bank of Canton. 

Technology is changing so fast 

that I’m positive in the near future 

these remote devises will be replaced 

by voice recognition. Until that day 

arrives, keeping all your remotes organized 

and in reach can make life 

so organized and enjoyable today.

Balance in Life-Help for Vestibular Disorders 

By John Vacovec, Physical 

Therapist and CEO of Physical 

Therapy and Sports Rehab 

The loss of any of the five 

senses is distressing, and one of 

the more frightening is the loss 

of balance & equilibrium due to 

a vestibular disorder. This condition 

occurs when there’s a disruption 

of the vestibular system that 

involves the inner ear and brain 

which controls eye movement and 

balance. As a result, an individual 

may experience dizziness, vertigo, 

balance problems, and other 

symptoms. 

An estimated 35 % of all adults 

in the U.S. have suffered from 

some type of vestibular dysfunction, 

and it can also occur in children. 

Physical therapy can help 

by retraining the brain to recognize 

and process signals from the 

vestibular system in coordination 

with vision and proprioception. 

There is Always Hope 

A vestibular disorder can result 

from an injury, stroke, neurological 

problem or even some chronic 

diseases such as diabetes. It can result 

from cataracts, aging or even 

a viral infection. Symptoms can 

range from mild to severe and 

have a significant impact on a person’s 

quality of life. 

When the condition appears 

in children, it affects the child’s 

balance; motor development and 

unstable eye focusing makes it difficult 

to learn to read. Typically 

unscreened, many children go undiagnosed. 

Vestibular rehabilitation therapy 

(VRT) offers hope for those 

suffering with vestibular disorders. 

The physical therapist will create 

a treatment plan of exercise that 

addresses the underlying causes 

and alleviates any compensatory 

behaviors an individual may 

have developed. VRT can be used 

alone or in conjunction with other 

therapeutic techniques. 

Regain Your Balance 

Patients will learn ways to compensate 

for their deficits. Individuals 

learn new ways to move and 

perform tasks that reduces the potential 

for falls and injuries. Therapists 

also monitor patients for signs 

of emotional disturbances, anxiety 

and depression, all of which are 

common for individuals suffering 

from this disorder. 

Vestibular disorders can be 

temporary or long-term and the 

techniques available through 

physical therapy improve overall 

quality of life. If you or someone 

you know has complained of balance 

or vestibular problems, call us 

today-we have a Balance/Vertigo 

Program to address your needs! 

Physical Therapy and Sports 

Rehab Inc. can be reached at (781) 

769-2040. With three convenient 

locations (at Norwood, Norfolk/ 

Wrentham and Norfolk Center), 

we can evaluate your condition 

and coordinate a treatment plan 

with your doctor. Go to www.

recovery is our expertise!

Lost Pets, They Are Everywhere 

Lately I have seen newly posted 

signs, FB posts and have even had 

people stop me on the street telling 

me they lost or found a pet. I 

can’t tell people enough that it’s a 

big cruel world out there for our 

animals if they are not supervised 

and properly ID’d. Please consider 

micro-chipping your four legged 

creature and always supervise their 

outdoor activity, be it on leash for 

our dogs or on a harness or in a 

fully fenced in outdoor porch for 

our kitties. 

People can’t believe the stories 

I tell them about lost and found 

pets. Here we go.....a friendly, outdoor, 

un-neutered cat was recently 

lost. He always came in each night 

but did not this one night (a story 

I hear way too often), that night it 

snowed, there was no sign of the 

cat for the next two days. Foot 

prints indicated there was a cat 

around but there were other outdoor 

cats in the area so there was 

no way to know. After reaching 

out to the Animal Control and 

some neighbors there was no sign 

of the beloved kitty. A few more 

days went by and suddenly as the 

owner left her yard she spotted her 

cat in the window of a car driving 

in front of her. Yes, a neighbor had 

taken in the cat that cold, snowy 

night and felt the cat was better 

off with them than back outside. 

The neighbor was in the midst of 

taking the cat to an open-admission 

shelter as they felt the owner 

did not care about the cat based 

on it being left out side, being unneutered 

and not ID’ing it in any 

way. The cat is back with his owners, 

getting neutered next week 

and the owner is trying be more 

aware of his activities. I am confident 

with a little effort and time 

this kitty could be a safe happy 

indoor kitty also. You just never 

know where your lost cat or dog 

could be so don’t risk their life! 

Micro-chip, supervise and protect 

the four-legged pet you call your 

best friend. 

Meet Pepper: 

This stray was found homeless 

by a nice family. After efforts 

were made to locate the owners 

there was no success. After several 

months of living with the family it 

has become apparent that one of 

the family cats was not liking the 

presence of this new member and 

made her life miserable. Pepper is 

now searching for a home to call 

her “forever” home where she can 

be loved, cared for and become a 

part of the family dynamics forever. 

She looks like a gray ragdoll 

and is extremely loving. Pepper 

would prefer not to be bullied by a 

dominant cat so consider your pet 

dynamics before considering her. 

You can meet Pepper by emailing 

Bay State Animal Cooperative 

at info@baystateanimals.org. 

Though we are low on cats in 

our adoption center, at this time 

we have special needs, FIV and 

feline leukemia kitties needing forever 

homes in foster care. We will 

be full unfortunately before you 

know it, so feel free to submit your 

application in advance and check 

in regularly to see what we have 

available seeking a loving home. 

Bay State Animal 

Cooperative is: 

• Seeking experienced dedicated 

individuals to join their 

executive team, board members 

needed to enhance our 

capabilities and coordinators 

to take care of administrative 

roles within the organization. 

PET CORNER 

• Seeking an accountant to generate 

non-profit 990 returns. 

• Seeking a Veterinarian to perform 

required weekly physical 

exams of our adoptable cats at 

Petco in Norwood, 1-2 hours

Mass State License. 

• Seeking shelter space for special 

needs cats. 

Please let us know how you can 

help!

Starbuck Drive 

Through 

Crash 

The Norwood Starbucks on Rte. 1 

Northbound received an unexpected 

drive through patron shortly after midnight 

on February 22. When Norwood police 

responded to notification of a motor 

vehicle, they discovered a vehicle had been 

driven into the building causing significant 

damage to its structure. 

The driver was not on the scene. Several 

hours later, 22 year old Brockton woman 

entered the Norwood Police Station stating she 

was the driver of the vehicle. At press time, her 

identification was not known but according to 

Norwood police, she will be summoned to a court 

date on charges stemming from the incident.

Debt-To-Income Ratio 

Why is it important in for obtaining 

a mortgage? 

When it comes to getting a 

mortgage, many people think 

their credit score is the most important 

number associated with 

their name. While a person’s credit 

score is important, along with how 

much money they have saved, 

there’s another number that is just 

as important: Debt-To-Income 

(DTI) ratio. 

A DTI ratio is one of the ways 

lenders measure your ability to 

make payments toward money 

you’ve borrowed. Your DTI ratio 

is expressed as a percentage and is 

comprised of your total minimum 

monthly obligations divided by 

your gross monthly income. Your 

total minimum monthly obligation 

is made up of your minimum 

monthly payments for car loans, 

students, credit card debt, home 

equity loans, mortgages and any 

other recurring debt you might 

have. 

When you’re in the market for 

a mortgage, it’s imperative that 

you know your DTI. To calculate, 

you must take into account 

all of our monthly debt payments 

and divide the total by your gross 

monthly income (the amount of 

money you earn before taxes). 

For example, if you pay $1,500 a 

month for your mortgage, $100 a 

month for an auto loan and $400 

a month for the rest of your debts, 

you pay a total of $2,000 per 

month toward debts. If your gross 

monthly income is $6,000, then 

your DTI ratio is 33%. 

It’s important to remember 

that your minimum monthly debt 

is the minimum you are required 

to pay each month. For example, 

if you owe $3,000 on a high-interest 

credit card and your minimum 

payment on that specific card is 

$150, only that $150 is going to 

figure into your DTI. Keep in 

mind, however, that paying only 

the minimum amount on your 

debts can make them grow larger. 

A good rule of thumb is the 

lower your DTI, the better. A DTI 

less than 50% is generally considered 

workable in the mortgage 

industry. However, if your DTI is 

higher than 50%, you may have a 

difficult time qualifying for a mortgage. 

If your DTI is 20% or lower, 

you’ll be able to borrow more and 

have more options than someone 

with a higher DTI. 

If your DTI isn’t to your liking, 

you’ve got two options. First, 

you can increase your income so 

you have more money to work 

with. Second, reduce your debts 

to enable your existing income to 

go further. For the second option, 

focus on paying off your credit 

cards and other loans and avoid 

taking on additional debts. 

If you’re in the market for a 

new mortgage, don’t overlook 

your DTI. Many people assume 

that if they have a good credit 

score and good income, getting a 

mortgage will be no problem. The 

THE PATH TO YOUR FIRST 

HOME STARTS HERE! 

First Time Homebuyer Seminar 

fact is that a good DTI also has a 

huge impact on getting you qualified 

for a mortgage.

at motivating co-workers–or, at the 

very least, your kids? While some 

people may appear to communicate 

effortlessly, most were not born that 

way. Learning to effectively formulate, 

organize and express your ideas 

to others can be learned. 

Toastmasters International, 

founded in 1924, is regarded as the 

leading organization dedicated to 

communication and leadership skill 

development. The Norwood Toastmasters 

club is just one of the more 

than 15,000 clubs located around 

the world. 

Dr. Janet Limke, President of the 

Norwood Toastmasters is a physiatrist; 

that is, one who specializes in 

physical medicine and rehabilitation. 

As the Medical Director of the 

Spine Center at South Shore Hospital, 

she often gives educational 

talks. And, as a delegate for the 

Massachusetts Medical Society, she 

lectures to peers about issues such as 

the Opioid Crisis. 

“Toastmasters has made speaking 

fun and exciting,” Limke said. 

“I now have the skills that allow me 

to really focus on my audience and 

what they need rather than my nervousness. 

I am much more effective 

at relaying information today than 

when I first joined Toastmasters.” 

Limke says that the environment 

in a Toastmasters club is friendly 

and supportive. 

“Everyone at a Toastmasters 

meeting feels welcome and valued, 

from complete beginners to advanced 

speakers,” Limke said. “It 

is a multi-generational and multicultural 

group. Members run the 

gamut from corporate department 

heads who travel to other countries 

to people from other countries for 

whom English is a second language. 

Toastmasters is a place where you 

can develop and grow, both personally 

and professionally.” 

In Toastmasters meetings, members 

learn by doing. Whether you’re 

an executive or a stay-at-home parent, 

a college student or a retiree, 

you can improve yourself by build-

Seeking Norwood High 

School Athletic Hall of Fame 

Nominations 

The Norwood High School Athletic Hall 

of Fame is looking for nominations for 

the Class of 2016. 

TOASTMASTERS 


Student-athletes, teams, 

coaches and special contributors 

are eligible. Candidates 

must meet the following criteria: 

student-athletes must have 

graduated from Norwood High 

School, attended NHS for more 

than two years and it has been 

10 years since their class graduated. 

Coaches must have worked 

at Norwood High for at least 

seven years and have completed 

their coaching career. Teams 

must have achieved a significant 

accomplishment. Special contributors 

are individuals who 

have made a considerable contribution 

of time and energy to 

ing skills to express yourself in a 

variety of situations. This opens up 

a world of new possibilities: giving 

better work presentations; leading or 

participating in meetings more confidently; 

speaking more smoothly 

off the cuff; even handling one-onone 

interactions with family, friends 

and colleagues more positively. 

“In a club meeting, you practice 

giving prepared speeches as well as 

brief impromptu presentations,” 

Vinu Kuriakose, Vice President of 

Membership said. “There is no rush 

and no pressure. The Toastmasters 

program allows you to progress at 

your own pace. You can’t very well 

practice these skills in your work environment, 

but you can at a Toastmasters 

meeting. At Toastmasters, 

we do constructive evaluation. The 

feedback is invaluable. Each time 

you give a prepared speech, an evaluator 

will point out strengths as well 

as suggest improvements. We look 

at body language, facial expressions 

and the like.” 

“We even have a ‘filler counter,’” 

Vice President of Public Relations, 

Kathy Heanue chuckled. 

“You know, someone who counts 

the ahs’s, um’s, ya-know’s and other 

things people fill their sentences with 

when they are uncomfortable or 

searching for the next word. Counting 

at meetings actually helps you to 

practice listening skills as well. Public 

speaking made me very uncomfortable, 

especially when I was beyond 

my comfort zone. Toastmasters has 

helped me build confidence. And it 

is a lot of fun! Members speak about 

some very interesting topics.” 

President Limke is excited about 

Norwood High School Athletics.

nomination forms, visit the 

Norwood High School Athletic 

Department web page, www.

NHS Hockey Player Erin Kelly 

by Christopher Tremblay 

She was a wee second grader 

when she first laced up the skates 

to take to the ice to play hockey, 

but it was the years prior that got 

Erin Kelly to actually thinking 

about taking the chance at playing 

the sport. Her older brother, 

four years her elder, and sister, 

two years older, had already been 

skating around the ice playing ice 

hockey. 

“I had been at the rink for so 

long watching them play I finally 

decided to give it a try myself,” 

the Norwood athlete said. “Almost 

immediately I was hooked and 

haven’t looked back.” 

Kelly would join local hockey 

team Norwood Nuggets, and advance 

though their system and 

eventually moved onto the Boch 

Blazers, a fall league she played 

every year through high school to 

help her improve. 

Although now a senior captain 

for the Mustangs and one of the

girls the team looks up to, things 

were not always easy. 

“That freshman year I didn’t 

know what to expect, the only 

thing that I could count on was my 

sister (Emily) to get me through it,” 

Kelly said. “It was tough as I didn’t 

get to play all that much that first 

year, but by my sophomore year I 

was one of four defenseman to get 

a regular shift on the ice.” 

Norwood Coach Tim Coskren 

believes having an older sister on 

the ice really helped her along that 

first year. 

“She’s been a solid four-year 

player for us, but as a freshman 

she was overwhelmed,” Coskren 

said. “Having her sister Emily, one 

of Norwood’s top scorers during 

her career there helped her to get 

through that first year and helped 

her fit in.” Erin didn’t get too 

much ice time that year, but over 

the years she improved dramatically 

where we relied on her quite 

a lot.”

BOOK YOUR BIRTHDAY PARTY EARLY 

65 Cottage St. (East) | Norwood | 781-769-0606 

Mon-Thurs 9am-10pm • Fri & Sat 9am-11pm • Sun 1pm-10pm 

As one of Norwood’s top three 

defenders this winter, the senior 

has logged an average of 38 minutes 

of ice time per game out of a 

possible 45, becoming the anchor 

of the blue line. With that being 

the case, she had to be ready for 

the season. 

Kelly not only knew that she 

would have to be in pristine shape 

to put in the minutes that would be 

required of her, she also wanted to 

make sure her team was ready as 

well. 

“Coming into the season I 

knew that I had to work extremely 

hard taking no time off,” the senior 

captains said. “As a captain 

I also knew that I would have a 

big leadership role with this team 

keeping them working hard at all 

times as well if we were to be successful.” 

During a season in which 

Coskren tabs as a rebuilding one, 

Kelly has definitely done her part 

to keep this team together and 

moving in the right direction for 

the future. 

“Playing with two sophomores, 

Erin has definitely keep things in 

check,” the coach said. “She has 

great vision and sees the ice and 

what’s developing in front of her. 

She’s always at the right spot at the 

right time and the younger girls 

are seeing that.” 

Although a defender, Kelly sees 

that she has grown into somewhat 

of an offensive player this winter 

to give her team a boost in any 

way she can. 

“As a defender growing up over 

the past four years, I’ve turned into 

a offensive defender, one that likes 

to rush the puck up the ice and 

shoot whenever I can,” Kelly said. 

“You can never have enough scoring. 

If given the opportunity, I like 

to take chances that will hopefully 

help my team.” 

While scoring has been something 

that she has thrown into her 

arsenal, she’s not lighting things 

up on a regular basis. Last year 

she scored three goals for the 

Mustangs, and at the time of the 

interview, already netted five this 

season; something her coach likes. 

“Erin can hit the open player 

with the perfect pass, but she has 

also become offensive minded as 

we don’t have that top goal scorer,” 

Coskren said. “We’ve only got 

25 goals as a team in our first 13 

games. I’ll take anything she can 

give us. She has tremendous stick 

handling skills and makes good 

decisions with the puck offensively, 

but she can still get back in time to 

get into position defensively.” 

During her first three years, 

Kelly was lucky enough to taste 

post-season play as the Mustangs 

went a combined 35-16-9 during 

that span. Unfortunately, this winter 

will come to an end following 

their last regular season contest as 

Norwood has already been eliminated. 

“It stinks that we will not be 

going to have a chance to play in 

the tournament this year,” Kelly 

said. “Our remaining goal over 

the last few games will be to go out 

and have fun while trying to win 

and hopefully we can ruin some 

other team’s chances of getting 

into the tournament.” 

When her Norwood hockey 

career does come to an end, it will 

probably be the end of ice hockey 

for Kelly on a professional type of 

level. The senior may play club 

hockey in college, but has no plans 

to play for whatever school she 

decides to attend. Unfortunately, 

all good things must come to an 

end and Erin Kelly’s phenomenal 

hockey career is on the horizon. 

It’s just too bad that the senior 

couldn’t have enjoyed one more 

run through the tournament.


Norwood Sports 

Norwood Gymnast Amanda Olbrys 

by Christopher Tremblay 

For many athletes, it’s an older 

brother or sister that got them interested 

in a particular sport, but 

in Norwood gymnast Amanda 

Olbrys, it is quite the opposite. 

Olbrys first became interested in 

gymnastics in the fifth grade while 

watching her younger sister’s 

meet; from there it was true love. 

“It was something that I liked, 

watching her perform,” Olbrys 

said. “It looked interesting and 

when they started doing flips, I 

knew that I wanted to try it out.” 

Not long after, the now Norwood 

freshman joined the Broderick 

Gymnastic Academy, the 

same Karen Broderick who is the 

Norwood High School Gymnastics 

Coach. Through the academy, 

Olbrys tried each and every event 

so by the time she entered the high 

school this past September she was 

able to compete in any of the four 

events. Being able to do everything 

also gave her a better chance at 

making the varsity squad. 

The freshman, who will try out 

for the softball team this spring as 

a pitcher and was a member of 

the cheerleading team this fall, had 

no real difficulties at the gymnastics 

tryouts. 

“The high school gymnastics 

tryouts were not all that bad as I 

had been doing this for such a long 

time,” Olbrys said. “It was nothing 

like cheerleading, where I was 

very nervous. With gymnastics, I 

had the confidence that I could 

make the team and just because 

I attended Broderick Academy, I 

didn’t get any special preference.” 

Coach Broderick found the 

young Olbrys to be a shining star 

in the team’s future. 

“Amanda competes as one of 

our two all-arounds (bars, vault, 

floor and beams), where she has 

the highest average in three of the 

four events and second highest on 

the other for the team,” the Norwood 

Coach said. “Usually not 

many freshmen come out for and 

make the team, but there were 

more than usual this year with 

Amanda leading the way, which 

looks very bright for our future.” 

According to the first year varsity 

gymnast, she averages about 

an eight on all four events, but it 

is the floor and vault where she 

excels. After taking a year off 

from the bar, she is now trying to 

reacquaint herself with the event 

while still looking to improve on 

the other three events. 

“Taking part in the meets as 

an all-around says that Coach 

Broderick has confidence in me,” 

Olbrys said. “I know that there 

are some older girls on the team 

that can also compete in all four 

events, but I think they realize my 

talent and are not mad at me for 

doing it.” 

While many athletes come to 

practice and just go through the 

motions, Olbrys is not that type of 

individual – practice or meet she 

gives it 100%. 

“Right off the bat she showed 

up with a great work ethic,” Broderick 

said. “Most girls tend to ease 

up after they make the team, but 

Amanda hasn’t stopped yet. From 

the time she steps into the gym 

until she leaves, Amanda is continuously 

working. Even when she’s 

finished with her routines she asks 

what else she can do to get better; 

she wants to be able to improve 

her level of difficulty and up her 

scores.” 

In order to improve her craft 

she must work hard, but in doing 

so also improves her team’s 

chances of winning. 

“I’ve always felt that I needed 

to work hard at my skill,” the 

young gymnast said. “I want to 

improve and use that skill to help 

my teammates out. I don’t mind 

working hard to push my routine 

to the next level, I’ll do whatever I 

need to do. I’ve know a lot of the 

girls on the team for a long time, 

whether through gymnastics or 

cheerleading so they know and understand 

what I can do and how I 

go about doing it.” 

Coming into the season, the 

Norwood gymnastic team has not 

had that much luck in terms of 

winning, but this year the squad 

was finally able to grab its first 

win in many a years. In doing so, 

Olbrys has accomplished one of 

her goals. 

“Coming into the year my 

goal was to get better, but more 

importantly help the team win, 

which we did,” Olbrys said. 

“This team hadn’t won in such a 

long time and it’s great to be part 

of that success. We knew that is 

was going to be tough, especially 

competing against year round 

gymnasts who are a level 8-10. At 

Norwood, most of the girls don’t 

belong to gymnastic clubs and 

compete all year round; they’re 

just doing it as fun.”

INSURANCE

DAMAGE CONTROL 

George Grant 

When it comes to protecting a policyholder’s vehicle, an automobile policy’s “collision” 

coverage reimburses for damage not covered by the other driver’s policy. “Comprehensive” covers 

theft or damage from fire, hail, falling rocks, etc. Both coverages having deductibles that range 

from zero to $1,000, with the lower out-of-pocket deductibles having the highest premiums. While 

many policyholders opt for higher deductibles that lower the cost of annual premiums, doing so 

only pays off if no accidents occur. With this in mind, policyholders with high deductibles should 

set aside enough money to cover the deductible in case it is needed. If not, consider it to be money 

5.897” wide 

saved. This should at least be one more incentive to drive safely and carefully. 

At AMBROSE & GRANT Insurance Agency, your needs will be carefully and completely 

identified – and then professionally and expertly satisfied. We are an independent insurance 

agency that provides all types of insurance coverage for your personal or business risk. Call us at 

781.762.2300. We’re located at 1500 Providence Hwy., Ste. 24B. 

NOTE: It is sometimes recommend that collision and/or comprehensive coverage be dropped 

when the annual premium equals or exceeds 10% of a vehicle’s cash value.

Norfolk County 

Real Estate off to a 

Good Start 

by Michele DeFazio Taranto 

The first month of 2016 demonstrated 

a possible shining light 

for the Norfolk County real estate 

market. According to Norfolk 

County Registrar of Deeds Williams 

P. O’Donnell, the month of 

January showed positive numbers 

in both total transactions and volume 

compared to January, 2015 

statistics. 

“I am pleased to report that 

January, 2016 real estate sales 

activity showed solid gains in 

both the total of number of real 

estate transactions and total dollar 

volume of real estate activity, 

including commercial and 

residential sales, compared to the 

same month in 2015,” Register 

O’Donnell said. 

Quantity of sales and volume 

showed impressive statistics with 

substantial increases from last 

year while homeowners reaped 

the benefit of better average sale 

prices. 

“The number of real estate 

sales, both commercial and residential, 

increased a whopping 

28% in January,” O’Donnell said. 

“The average sales price during 

the month was $680,350, a 

4% increase compared to January, 

2015. Total dollar volume of 

commercial and residential sales 

also showed solid gains, increasing 

an impressive 34% to $514.3 

million.” 

The lending market, however, 

did not experience such positive 

numbers across the board. 

“The lending market was a 

mixed bag for the month of January,” 

O’Donnell said. “The total 

number of mortgages recorded in 

January was 1,982, a modest 5% 

increase. However, total mortgage 

financing actually fell 7% coming 

in at $764 million. We will need to 

watch this number closely to see 

if individuals and business begin 

to think twice before borrowing 

money.” 

Whether better educated 

homeowners or the rise in sales, 

Homestead recordings also increased 

in January, 2016 by 23%. 

The Homestead Act provides limited 

protection on the forced sale 

of a personal primary residence 

to settle unsecured debt up to 

$500,000. For more information 

on the Homestead Act, visit he 

Registry’s website at www.norfolkdeeds.org. 

Foreclosure activity in Norfolk 

County also saw a reduction 

in year over year numbers, down 

25%. In January, 97 Notice to 

Foreclose Mortgage filings were 

recorded as compared to 59 in 

January 2015. 

“The Registry of Deeds continues 

to work with its partners 

Quincy Community Action 

Programs and Neighbor Works 

Southern Mass to help homeowners 

who have received a 

Notice to Foreclose Mortgage,” 

O’Donnell said. “Another option 

for homeowners who are facing 

the challenges of meeting their 

monthly mortgage payment is to 

contact the Attorney General’s 

HomeCorps program for assistance.”
