Although the ongoing drought has nottriggered any water restrictions inNorwood, Fire Chief Anthony Greeleyis not leaving anything to chance.

He said his firefighters recently re-sponded to weekend-long brush fires atHennessey Field and in West Roxbury.

“It’s just so dry, brush fires are goingto become more and more prevalent,”said Greeley.

With such abnormally dry conditions,he said even cigarettes and cigars can bemajor threats.

“If you are disposing of a lit cigaretteor cigar, take the extra seconds to makesure it’s extinguished – don’t just flick itinto the mulch,” said Greeley.

He said the fire, which broke out onFlorence Avenue in July, was caused byhot ashes being dumped in the backyard.

Greeley also said hoarding or allow-ing combustible items to accumulate canspark fires as well.

However, when fires happen, he said

the town still has the resources to re-spond, adding that Norwood has morethan one million gallons of water avail-able.

“Sometimes you preach preventionand it’s not always adhered to,” saidGreeley. “In this case, prevention willplay a key role in the community.”

However, state officials have deeperconcerns.

Following its Aug. 11 meeting thestate’s Drought Management Task Forcemade the unprecedented decision to in-crease the drought level in northeastMassachusetts from a watch to a warn-ing.

A warning represents the second-highest tier of the five-level U.S. DroughtMonitor, which has been in place since2000.

“On the warning side, there’s muchstronger public messaging about waterconservation,” said Christine Packard,deputy director for the MassachusettsEmergency Management Agency(MEMA) during the meeting.

Staff ReportersThe Norwood School Committee

voted unanimously last week to approvea resolution against the MassachusettsBallot Question 2, which would raisethe cap on charter schools in the state.

“There’s not a lot of issues that weagree on, but this is one of them,” saidSchool Committee Member PatrickMcDonough.

The ballot measure would effec-tively allow for 12 new or expandedcharter schools every year, with nomechanism to fix the reimbursementissue or requiring a minimum of stu-dents per new or expanded charterschool.

The Norwood Public School District(NPS) already loses hundreds of thou-sands of dollars every year to charterschools, because of the underfundedreimbursement program. Basically,when a student leaves NPS for a char-ter school, usually the Foxboro CharterSchool, the per-pupil-expenditure pro-vided by the state’s Chapter 70 fundingprogram (which funds public and char-ter schools alike) goes with that student

to the charter school.“We are slated to lose $398,000 this

year, and that’s after we paid the tuitionof $512,000” said Norwood TeachersAssociation President Jody Collins.“”When you hear that we’re going tobe getting it back and it will help publicschools, that money is a reimburse-ment.”

The original charter mandate re-quires that the state set up a reimburse-ment program, but it is $2 billionunderfunded for the entire state.

“If your check book is in the red for$2 billion, why would you take anotherproject like charter schools?” said NPSSuperintendent of Schools JamesHayden.

Hayden said the state only comesback with about $113,000 for reimburse-ment, and that’s a story that is happen-ing all over the state.

Finance Commissionstands behindModerna TIF

Finance Commission mem-bers pledged that at the nextTown Meeting, they will votein favor of the Tax IncrementFinancing (TIF) agreement forbiotech company ModernaTherapeutics.

During the commission’sAug. 30 meeting, Member AlanSlater said the company is cur-rently based in Cambridge andis planning to open a secondlocation in Norwood.

Slater said Moderna repre-sentatives expressed the needfor the TIF to include a 40-per-cent tax exemption for 10 yearsso that the company can invest$110 million in renovating the200,431 square-foot building tosuit its needs.

Slater said the TIF wouldyield a savings of $1.7 millionexclusively for Moderna.

“It’s crystal clear in the TIFagreement,” he said, addingthat company representativesprobably would not have con-sidered opening a location inNorwood without a TIF.

The building that Modernawould occupy is owned byCampanelli – Trigate NorwoodUpland and is located at 100Tech Dr.

However, Slater saidModerna plans to enter into a15-year lease. Therefore, in aJuly 21 letter to the Board of

Selectmen, Town AccountantThomas McQuaid determinedthat even with the TIF, Modernawould collectively produce $7million in tax revenue over thenext 15 years.

McQuaid said the propertycurrently generates $277,888per year in tax revenue. So withthe TIF agreement, Modernawould almost double the taxgeneration of the property toabout $467,000.

In the initial stages of opera-tion, Moderna plans to bring100 of its own employees fromCambridge and hire an addi-tional 120.

“These are high payingjobs,” said Slater.

Chairman Joseph Greeleysaid the deal would be a win forNorwood.

“The gain for the commu-nity is significantly more thanwhat we’re giving in dis-counted taxes,” he said.

Norwood Arts member selectedfor community project

Brendan DeadyBrendan DeadyBrendan DeadyBrendan DeadyBrendan DeadyStaff Reporter

The staff at the NorwoodArt Association has some se-rious creative minds withintheir ranks.

Staff member AmandaBaldi is once again funnelingthat energy towards a projectwhose purpose is to have ci-vilians engage with theircommunity through publicart. Baldi is one of 60 artistschosen to design pianos thatare placed around Boston andparts of Cambridge as part ofthe 2016 Boston CelebritySeries.

Street Pianos Boston isproduced by the Celebrity Se-ries, a non-profit organiza-tion that presents portfoliosand performances of artistsfrom across the globe accord-ing to Greg Dunning, theorganization’s Executive Di-rector. The idea of commis-sioning artists to decorate pi-anos and place them in thepublic to promote engage-ment, stems from a project“Play me, I’m Yours,” startedby the United Kingdom art-ist Luke Gerram.

Baldi said the idea oc-curred to Gerram while theartist sat in a Laundromat andnoticed that the same peoplegathered every week yet

didn’t interact with eachother. On the websitestreetpianos.com, Gerramwrote:

“I suddenly realized thatwithin a city, there must behundreds of these invisiblecommunities, regularlyspending time with one an-other in silence. Placing a pi-ano into the space was my so-lution to this problem, actingas a catalyst for conversationand changing the dynamics ofa space.”

Dunning, who got the ideato incorporate Street Pianosinto the Celebrity series af-ter seeing the program while

traveling in Europe, echoedGerram’s statements.

“It’s a core part of ourmission at the Celebrity Se-ries, to ensure performing

Amanda Baldi continued from page 5arts are a valued, lifelong,and shared experience foreveryone. Street Pianos Bos-ton is a perfect fit for thisprogram, bringing visual andperformance art into the com-munity. In fact, when wewere looking for host loca-tions, we were committed tothe idea that every neighbor-hood in Boston would haveat least one piano. Street Pi-anos Boston proves art trulyis everywhere and everyonecan participate,” Dunningsaid.

Baldi, 27, who lives in Ar-lington and is originally fromWeymouth, said her positionat the Norwood Arts Associa-tion brought out the interestin visual forms of expression.She graduated from UMass-Amherst with a creative writ-ing degree, but after collegestarted taking art classeswhile working at the arts as-sociation and has been ex-ploring different mediumsever since.

This is Baldi’s second

time designing a piano for theprogram; in 2013 she con-structed a mini-marionetteshow imbedded above thekeyboard of her piano. Shetook her inspiration from thefolk and Italy-derived puppetshows that were a popularform of entertainment forcenturies. This year she’scontinuing the puppetrytheme, but in a way thatmeshes folklore inspirationand modern-day robotics.

Baldi works alongside herpartner Mike Baier at Vecna,a Cambridge-based roboticsfirm. Baier, who took the leadon the engineering for thisyear ’s piano, said he de-signed a “basic robotics stew-ard platform” that will con-trol the strings attached to themarionettes. The piano holdssolar panels to charge a bat-tery that allows the mecha-nism to move the puppets“the same as a human hand”could based on the actions ofthe player.

“That was really one ofAmanda’s ideas, to juxtaposethe old and the new,” Baiersaid.

Baldi said the free reigngiven to artists is one of themost exciting aspects of theprogram and allowed her toexplore new forms madeavailable by technology.

“The interesting thingabout doing this project isthat it’s a multi-media project,new media incorporating artwith tech,” Baldi said. “Nei-ther Mike nor I have ever doneanything like this before. It’sa different artistic expressionusing technology to make it

work.”She revisited her puppetry

theme because of its historyand the compatibility theforms have with the piano andthis year electronics. The Ital-ian roots of marionettes ap-peal to Baldi as well as theoriginal purpose of the shows,to entertain and poke fun atthe common man but alsostrengthen the community.

“My baseline interest is inthe constant of human naturethat runs through all folklore,”she said. “One of those wayswe just understand humanity,doesn’t really change throughthe ages, it has the same basictypes of people and personali-ties and character flaws.”

Dunning said the organiza-tion posted an open-call to allartists at the beginning of theyear. A committee board thenreviewed all the proposals andmade their decisions based ona number of factors.

“It was important to us tofind a diverse group of artists,representing different ages,cultural identities, ethnicities,formal training and mediumsof artistic expression,” Dun-ning said.

The pianos are placedthroughout the city based onan assessment of where eachone best meshes with its sur-rounding community.They’re then paired with ahost organization, frequentlymonitored and, if still usableafter the 18-day installment,are donated to charities.

The pianos debut Sept. 23and will remain open to thepublic until Oct. 10.

He said Campanelli would alsobenefit by having Moderna.

“This is a prime tenant,someone we definitely want inour town,” said Greeley.

The selectmen also gavetheir stamp of approval in aunanimous vote on July 26. Thefinal decision will be made atthe next Town Meeting, whichis expected to be in late-Octo-ber or early-November.

In other news, School Com-mittee Chairman JamesGormley, in an Aug. 17 letterto the commission, said the$114,360 grant for all-day kin-dergarten was not included inthe state’s budget for fiscal year

2017.In the past, that money had

been earmarked to cover thesalaries of five paraprofession-als. Gormley said those posi-tions cannot be cut as they areneeded to provide bus supervi-sion and to cover class sizes.

However, Gormley said theloss could be recovered with lo-cal aid funding from Chapter 70totaling $10,788,444, which is$199,776 more than what wasprojected at Town Meeting.

Gormley requested that 55percent of the increase, totaling$109,877, be put back into theschool budget.

In addition, Superintendent

James Hayden said special edu-cation tuition costs have climbedby $117,197 as of Aug. 17, com-bined with a $68,000 transporta-tion deficit.

“Our Chapter 70 formula is $2billion out of whack,” he said.“Part of my goal tonight was toget some support and use that fornegotiations.”

However, Greeley said thecommission should not act withTown Meeting still two monthsaway.

“Can we outright support anyone of these tonight – no,” he said,adding that more informationneeds to be gathered to make apresentation at Town Meeting.“The last thing we want to do ispresent a bad story badly.”

you’re educating but we’re go-ing to take some of it away.”

Hayden said most if not allNorwood charter school stu-dents attend the Foxboro Char-ter School. He said the statebasically asks Norwood to lookto its savings to cover the costsof sending students to a char-ter school, but he said$113,000 doesn’t allow forenough budgetary wiggleroom in the district, as it’s notas if all the students going tothe charter are in the sameclassroom, school or grade.The peppering of studentsthroughout the district doesnot allow him, Hayden said,to remove or shrink any pro-grams or classrooms to savemoney.

“So can I eliminate a pro-

gram? Close a school? No,”he said. “Can I save some ofthe classrooms? No, I can’t doany of that.”

Collins said in some casesthe charter school system it-self may be flawed, and tak-ing away programs from thepublic schools to pay for morecharter schools really hurtsthe public school systems.

“It’s so important thatpeople understand that this isa priority,” she said. “Charterschools do not have to haveteachers that are licensed bythe department of education.They also have no account-ability to you, the local board,or local authorities. It issomething that is a benefit forsome students and for thosestudents it works well, but for

the public school child theydeserve that same kind of edu-cation. They deserve the arts,they deserve athletics theydeserve their languages. Thatis something as local educa-tors and local supporters ofeducation can’t stand by andlet happen.”

Collins said the NPS cur-rently has 30 students in char-ter schools this coming schoolyear, but added that it is pro-jected to go up to 44 students.

“Our numbers are going upand as our numbers go up, thatmeans that our resources aregoing down,” she said, addingthat during the budget season,there were many requests forthe NPS that were just notavailable due to funding is-sues.

Drought continued from page 1However, she said MEMA will remain in a “support role untilwe get into some kind of emergency situation.”

By definition, a drought watch is triggered after “four out offive consecutive months” of below normal precipitation. Thethreshold for a warning begins after “six out of seven consecu-tive months” of below normal precipitation.

“We’re at the tail end of the watch,” said Jonathan Yeo, wa-ter supply director for the State Department of Conservationand Recreation (DCR).

Jennifer Pederson, executive director of the MassachusettsWater Works Association, said she was concerned that the deci-sion to go to a warning was made “based on observations, notscientific data.”

However, other officials argued that streams and rivers shouldnot have to be dry for several months before a warning is issued.

DCR Commissioner Leo Roy said it is imperative that resi-dents take water-saving measures now.

“The next six weeks are really critical,” he said.Alan Dunham, observation program leader at the National

Weather Service, said data from the Drought Monitor also trig-gered D-3 conditions in the northeast part of the state, repre-senting an extreme drought.

“We can’t remember the Drought Monitor putting anythingin Massachusetts at a D-3,” he said. “That’s extremely rare, ifnot unheard of.”

Although hurricanes and tropical storms have been knownto cure droughts, Dunham said there has been “nothing brew-ing” in the Atlantic Basin.

“It’s going to be hit or miss if we can get a tropical system,”he said.

Dunham’s long-range forecast did not offer any signs of re-lief.

“There’s no improvement through October,” he said.The total precipitation for July is usually 3.48 inches in north-

east Massachusetts. However, last month’s total came in at 1.52inches – 1.96 inches below normal.

“February was the last month we had with above normalprecipitation,” said Dunham.

As a result, State Fire Warden David Celino said the Keetch-Byram Drought Index, which measures fire danger, had alreadyreached the warning level in northeast Massachusetts.

Celino said even some rain will typically cause the Keetch-Byram Index to drop, however, that has not been the case thisyear.

He said his crews have been fighting three to five fires a day,including a 1.5-acre blaze, which has been burning in Blue HillsReservation since Aug. 7. Celino also called attention to a 27-acre fire that broke out in Salem on Aug. 10.

“Having a 27-acre fire in Salem tells us something,” he said.Celino also said the risk for wildfires will escalate further if

the drought continues into the fall when the leaves start comingdown.

DCR Water Resources Director Anne Carroll raised concernsabout reservoir levels.

“The majority of our medium-size reservoirs are below nor-mal in the northeast,” she said.

However, John Gregoire, program manager for the Massa-chusetts Water Resources Authority (MWRA), said he was notimmediately worried about the level of the Quabbin Reservoir,one of the primary water supplies for Greater Boston.

“Presently, we’re 88 percent full,” said Gregoire, which trans-lates into 362.5 billion gallons.

Although it is unclear as to how long the drought will last,Gregoire said the MWRA will not be easily shaken.

“There are several stages to get into really tough territory,”he said. “The MWRA has very large, deep reservoirs.”

Dolores Randolph, spokesman for the Boston Water andSewer Commission, said no water bans have been needed forBoston as it draws from both the Quabbin and Wachusett reser-voirs.

Duane LeVangie, section chief for the State Department ofEnvironmental Protection, said that as of Aug. 1, 142 publicwater suppliers have imposed water usage restrictions –something that does not typically happen until late-Septem-ber.

“They’re in the business of selling water, it’s a toughchoice,” he said of the supply companies. “This has beenthe most attention on this issue in the last 15 years, easy.”

Richard Verdi, chief of Hydrologic Surveillance for theU.S. Geological Survey, said the drought began in the spring.

“It was progressive over the past three months,” he said.“From May through July, it got dryer and dryer.”

Trevor Battle, environmental health inspector for theState Department of Agriculture, said farmers have beenrepositioning their irrigation lines in an effort to keep theircrops watered.

However, that has been challenging, as irrigation pondlevels continue to plummet.

“A substantial number of farmers have seen a crop lossof 30 percent or more,” he said.

Want to be part of the next Norwood baseball state championship team? The Norwood Diamond Club's Fall Ball League is a key step of the dreamfor many players, who adjust to life on longer base paths, the ability to take a lead and steal bases, and adjust to drawn-out fences in the outfieldfor the first time.

Baseball’s third season inNorwood is less than twoweeks away, with the firstpitch for the Norwood Dia-mond Club’s annual FallBaseball League is sched-uled for Friday, Sept. 9.

If the town leagues in thespring and travel leagues ofthe summer weren’t enoughfor Norwood’s youth to sat-isfy their baseball fix, they’llhave one more shot over asix-week session to honetheir skills before the calen-dar flips to 2017.

The Norwood DiamondClub has sponsored the “fallball” league in town for 12years now, according topresident Ed Hickey. Theprogram is for kids ages 12to 15, with an emphasis onthose moving up from the60-foot base paths of littleleague to the 90-foot basepaths of Babe Ruth and be-yond.

“The focus has alwaysbeen on those 12-year-oldsthat have f in ished l i t t leleague this past summer,”Hickey said. “They will havethe opportuni ty for s ixweeks to play a 12-gameschedule and try and practiceon those fields, see how theBalch School [field] is com-pared to the little leagueparks.”

Hickey noted that nosport has a more dramaticchange in the dimensions ofits playing surface as kids

grow older; it’s not like ayouth football field is only75 yards long, for example.

But in addition to the in-creased length from home tofirst, hitters beginning BabeRuth will also notice out-field fences considerablyfurther away. Most l i t t leleague fields set the fencesaround 200 feet from homeplate to straightaway centerfield, whereas 400 feet andbeyond is common on bigdiamonds; Balch is 400 feetfrom home to center.

Hickey said that severalgames over the course of the

season are played at theWillett Field and at the Wil-son Street Playground,where the fences are more ofan intermediate distance.

But more important thanthe ability to hit for poweron the larger field are the nu-ances that go on back in theinfield, which is another rea-son Hickey believes fall ballis so important for the 12-year-olds in particular.

“One of the biggestthings is you can lead off abase,” Hickey said of theadded element of strategy inBabe Ruth ball. “In little

league you have to stay onthe base until the ball goesby the batter. One of the firstthings we try to teach is of-fensively, how to take a lead– and on the other end of it,how do you hold somebodyon the base and how does thepi tcher work f rom thestretch.”

Players aren’t bound tojust one or two positions infall ball either, Hickey said,as the program aims to cre-ate more well-rounded play-ers by giving them a chanceall around the diamond.

“We’re not trying to make

Consistency is an admi-rable quality for any athleticprogram, and it certainly fitsthe bill for Norwood’s fieldhockey team under the direc-tion of head coach AllisonDoliner.

Since the former NorwoodHigh star became head coachat her alma mater in 2013, theMustangs have been consis-tently excellent, compiling a41-10-6 record over the three

seasons.Doliner’s fourth year in

charge sees a relat ivelyyoung roster, with only sevenseniors currently in trainingcamp, but upon further re-view is a group more thancapable of continuing to meetNorwood’s lofty standards ofsuccess.

The Mustangs will becaptained by seniors ColeyHayes, Cassidy Mahoney andKatie Mulligan, with Hayesassuming the center-mid po-sition after spending much of

last fall playing center back.“She’s just so strong and

such a consistent player,”Doliner said of Hayes, amainstay of the program’ssuccess the last several sea-sons. “She really has a visionfor the whole field. It’ll begood having her in the middleto set the tone for both sidesof the field.”

Based on lines Dolinerused for Norwood’s scrim-

a major league ballplayerthis fall,” Hickey said. “Wewant them to learn the game,we want them to want to playat Norwood High School.It’s another way for us to re-emphasize the fun that youcan have playing baseball.”

Players born betweenMay 1, 2000 and April 30,2004 are eligible for this sea-son of fall ball. Sign-ups forthe league, which will playits games on Fridays, Satur-days and Sundays, are stillopen. Forms are available atthe Norwood Recreation De-partment Civic Center.

Kevin Hoffman

Trying to turn the page on awinless season, Norwood golfwill be coached by CoakleyMiddle School guidance coun-cilor Kevin Hoffman this fall.

Hoffman, a 2002 graduate ofNorwood High, takes over forJim Sweeney. A three-year var-sity player in his own high schooldays, Hoffman’s passion for golfdates back to his youth and con-tinues today with this opportunity

to meld his love of the game withhis never-ending itch to coach.

Hoffman has previouslyscratched that itch on baseballdiamonds in town, where heserved as a freshman assistant forone year and as co-head coach ofthe junior varsity team withKevin Igoe another.

He’s also been around the golfprogram in a variety of ways inthe past, from helping outSweeney with tryouts tocommentating matches on NPA-TV. For someone who worked onthe grounds crew atBrookmeadow Country Club inCanton during summer’s homefrom college, Hoffman figures tobe a natural for the head coach-ing job of the golf team atNorwood High.

“In my role as a councilor -and previously as a coach - I lovegetting to know the kids andworking with them, and havingthe opportunity to do it on a golfcourse is a very awesome, relax-ing and fun environment – espe-cially with such a good group ofkids,” Hoffman said. “I’m veryfortunate.”

Hoffman played four or fivetimes a week on his summerbreaks, which is what he calledthe “height of my playing days.”

“My schedule is a little bitbusier now,” he said. “But I stillget out as often as I can.”

The Mustangs’ winless sea-son of a year ago isn’t entirelyindicative of the way the teamplayed, as over half of their 12losses were by single digits (theBay State Conference uses amodified version of theStableford scoring system,where a bogey is one point, a paris two points, a birdie three, andso forth).

Hoffman is hoping to honein on the individual skill sets of

players, with the hopes that histop eight (the number of playersper match) can add two or threepoints to their scores each match.

“We’re going to developgoals on how we can increasetheir point totals, and where intheir game they can improve,”Hoffman said. “If every kid No.1 through 8 is picking up an ex-tra two or three points, that’ssomewhere in the neighborhoodof 15-20 points [per match]. Thatshould be enough to put us overthe bump in terms of some ofthose really close matches froma year ago.”

Hoffman’s first captains willbe seniors Sean Briggs andMichael Saad, each of whom hasplayed in big matches before forthe Mustangs. Saad was on thecourse when Norwood last quali-fied for the postseason in 2014,shooting a 90 as a sophomore atEaston Country Club in the Di-vision 2 South tournament.

Norwood’s first match of theseason is on Wednesday, Sept. 7at The Country Club inBrookline, a historic coursewhich provides the Mustangs anopportunity to play on the samecourse as PGA members past andpresent.

“That’ll be an awesome ex-perience for the kids,” Hoffmansaid. The Country Club will behosting the 2022 U.S. Open, thefourth time the course has hostedthe event and first since 1988.Brookline also hosted the RyderCup in 1999. “It’ll be a real goodtest for our kids.”

After that, Norwood will playits next four matches at its homecourse, Norwood Country Club.Hoffman figures this will be agood opportunity for his team tostring some wins together andcreate an early-season buzzaround the program.

“That’ll be a really goodopportunity hopefully for ourkids to get a win under theirbelt,” Hoffman said of thehome tilt the schedule providesearly. Norwood hostsNeedham, Framingham,Dedham and Weymouth be-tween Sept. 13 and 20 at home.“We’ve got four straight [athome] so I’m hoping that inthat stretch in the first coupleof weeks of school we’ll get acouple of wins under our beltand boost the kids’ confidence.”

If all goes according to planearly, Hoffman is hopingNorwood can turn some of itsbad luck from a year agoaround and chip its way backtowards the postseason.

“A good goal would be toconvert those five to sixmatches where we lost last yearinto wins,” he said. “That putsus right around the .500 mark,and would put us in contentionfor a tournament berth.”

mage vs. North Attleboro onTuesday morning, Hayeslooks to be joined on themiddle line by senior RachelNoah and sophomore KatieWelch. Noah is playing var-sity field hockey for the firsttime after playing soccer herfirst three years in highschool, but as Doliner pointsout she came up through theNorwood youth field hockeysystem, and has theathleticism to make it an easytransition back.

Junior Erin Murphy willassume the center back rolefrom Hayes, and she projectsto be joined in the backfieldwith junior Mia Fanizzi toher right, sophomore RoseCampbell to her left, and jun-ior Cassie Cahil l at thesweeper position.

Up front, Doliner will ini-tially go with a line of sopho-more Bryn Garczynski atcenter forward, withMahoney to her left andfreshman Ali McDonough toher right. McDonough is cur-

rently the only freshman pro-jected to start for the Mus-tangs.

In goal, Doliner will giveseveral players a chance towin the job. Candidates in-clude juniors Maya Hall andAly Naumann, as well asfreshman Alex Bedard.

Post-season possibilitiesLast season marked the

first time in Doliner’s tenurethe Mustangs failed to win atournament game, as theywere upset at home by Can-ton in the first round, 1-0.

Still, this is a group of se-niors that has emerged fromthe rigorous Bay State Confer-ence schedule with a winningrecord in each of their firstthree seasons.

“This group of seniors hasmade the tournament everyyear they’ve been here,”Doliner said. “They knowwhat it’s like to be in the tour-nament; they know what it’slike to win in the tournament.”

Doliner is hoping the lossto the Bulldogs can serve as a

motivational tool for the girlswho are back for this year, es-pecially with Canton on theregular season schedule, perusual: Saturday, Sept. 24 at3:45 p.m. at Canton HighSchool.

“Last year we made i tthere, and Canton had a greatgame,” Doliner said of thedefeat. “Canton played betterthan us and knocked us out inthe first round. I think it’s notnecessarily a bad thing; a lotof these girls will be playingwith a chip on their shouldersthis season remembering thatfeeling.”

Norwood will scrimmageat Foxboro tomorrow at 9a.m. as its final tune-up forthe regular season, which be-gins next Wednesday atBrookline High School at3:45 p.m.

The Mustangs will alsotravel to Dedham (Sept. 8)and Braintree (Sept. 12) be-fore they play a home game,Wednesday, Sept. 14 vs.Wellesley.

Through one scrimmage,Norwood football coach JimTighe isn’t quite ready toname his starting quarterbackjust yet.

“Still competing,” Tighesaid, adding he hopes to havehis starter figured out be-tween yesterday’s scrimmageat Foxboro and Saturday’s fi-nal preseason tune-up vs.Canton.

Senior Sean Welch, jun-iors Danny Quinn and ColinPlasko and sophomores An-thony DeAngelis and MarkMurphy have been battling itout during training camp forthe starting nod in Norwood’sregular season opener onSept. 10 vs. the FraminghamFlyers.

The Mustangs faced theSharon Eagles on the roadlast Saturday, under the typi-cal format of the first pre-season scrimmage: each teamhad three possessions of 10plays each on offense, and noscore was kept.

“It’s more for evaluationpurposes,” Tighe said. “Youalways want great results ofthe plays, but we’re more in-terested in f i lming andwatching the film and look-ing at some of the progressthe kids have made.”

Norwood played its start-ers through the first set of 10on each side of the ball, and

about halfway through thesecond set, began cyclingthrough to substitutes in or-der to get a look at playerswho could contribute downthe line.

Tighe said skill positionplayers who caught his eyevs. Sharon included runningback George Mason, wide re-ceivers Tony Ortega and PaulMurphy, and tight end KyleCondon.

Ortega hauled in a passfrom over 40 yards out fromQuinn, while Paul Murphywas on the receiving end of atoss from Mark Murphy.

Mike King, who Tighehopes is able to contribute asboth a receiver and in the de-fensive backfield, played ex-clusively on the defensiveside of the ball on Saturdaydue to a hamstring injury.

“He played and did well,considering he was a little bitlimited,” Tighe said.

With just a few practicesleft before school starts,Tighe acknowledged thegrind of training camp, butstill is pleased with the en-ergy level he’s been seeing ona daily basis.

“We’ve had some prettylively practices,” he said.“It’s a bit of a grind whenyou’re near the end of it, butthey show up every day andthey’ve been working reallyhard. That’s all you can askfor.”

Turf troubles in

FraminghamLast season, Norwood

opened its season with a 31-13 win on the road atFramingham High School.

On that same turf lastThursday, several players de-veloped blisters while par-ticipating in the bear crawldrill – resulting in the suspen-sion of the entire coachingstaff.

Coaches were reinstatedon Monday following an in-vestigation by FraminghamHigh School, with extremeheat to blame. Despite airtemperatures in the 80s, syn-thetic turf fields have beenknown to heat up quite morethan that – well over 100 de-grees.

With that , what couldhave been a mega-distractionleading up to the Flyers’ sea-son opener at Norwood isnow moot.

In an email sent to parentsof Framingham football play-ers – first obtained by theMetro West Daily News –Flyers’ head coach GaryDoherty wrote that “in 26years of coaching football, Ihave never seen anything likethis happen.”

Tighe had no comment onthe issue, other than that heknew what everyone elseknew just by following vari-ous outlets reporting thestory.

The Mustangs host theFlyers on Sept. 10 at 1 p.m.
