6/28 11:17am I guess if reviews are going out for business' in our area then, in fairness, the not so good experiences have to be mentioned too. Some years back, I hired Rocky's to handle some body work on my Ford pick-up truck which involved some rear quarter rot repair as well as the replacement of the rear chrome bumper. In less than one year, the bumper developed dozens of pin-hole rust spots and the body work, which involve the use of filler began to bump out and crack. It was breaking away from the original metal of the truck. I brought the truck back to them and asked about these problems. I was pleased when they said they would replace the bumper (more loss of use of the truck though) but, the lifting body work... I was told that this is what happens when filler is put upon a rotted body and that if they took an ice pick, it would go all the way through! They would not fix the rot I paid to have fixed, they just covered over it. I thought to myself... that would be like me putting roof shingles over rotted plywood. It just would not hold up. In the end, I did get a new bumper but was forced to live with the degrading body work I paid for... I was over-all unhappy and do not recommend them. - BF (2)

I did not say anything remotely like what you allege, and wouldn't, and you know it. You raise the question of his/her [medical] condition. Why? Are you going to reach out to him/her?

6/15 11:15pm I drove around the Route 115 roundabout by the Town Common and library at 11:38 A.M. on Sunday, 6/14. It was very hot with full sun. Can someone tell me why the Common was being irrigated with sprinklers at high noon, when it's against the DPW rules to water except by hand, and at a time of day when they're losing 40% of it through evaporation? Don't your timers work for 4 A.M.? - KB
6/15 11:13pm Family in Norfolk looking to secure a part time/permanent caretaker to help out with our family. We have some needs during the summer but more as the new school year begins in the fall. Specifically, we would be interested in someone who has a car and can watch our 2nd grader in the early mornings everyday (7-8:30) until he gets on the bus, after school 3 days a week from (3:30-5;30/6). We also would prefer someone who has some flexibility to care for him during no school days and that can pitch in and help take him to sporting events from time to time. Finally, it would be helpful if you have had some experience with toddlers as we have twin boys (2.5 year olds) that we may need some back-up care on rare occasions. - DMG

6/15 10:54pm TK - Take it over to Ron Santos at Santos Autobody in Millis! We were very happy with both pricing and quality of his body work on one of our cars, and he went above and beyond to help out when we jammed the hood when replacing the latch on another occasion. Only thing is that he's always busy, but with good reason. Tell him you were sent by the Norfolk guy whose BMW hood was jammed shut - he'll remember that one! - VR

6/15 5:58pm I strongly recommend Ivy Music Academy for any parent considering private music lessons for their child. My son has been attending Ivy for the past two years for guitar lessons. At 12 years old, he is quickly falling in love with guitar and has greatly enjoyed his lessons. We are moving out of state and I can only hope to find an instructor half as good as his current instructor at Ivy. He has an excellent foundation for what will hopefully be a lifetime of music. - JS

6/8 10:43pm Re the house at the corner of [in town] (I think), I have spoken 2 or 3 times to selectmen and I have been told nothing can be done as it's private property. There is a Board of Health in Norfolk; I'm sure they know all about it. It's beyond [an eyesore]. It's got to be rife with snakes and rats. [...] You might try calling the B of H yourself. - AB-G

6/2 5:56pm I am a Norfolk resident and have paid taxes in this town for 20 years. I was completely shocked how KP High School handled the 2015 Graduation today [Sunday, 5/31]. The weather forecast did not make an outdoor graduation seem doable. KPHS administration literally put people at risk today. You had elderly, families literally running around in downpours not knowing what to do. I am disgusted. We can do better - the adminstration should be held accountable. - RB

5/3 10:06pm I didn't realize there are two different versions of the Country Gazette. The one I received at home on May 1 did not have the article on page A-2 that my friend's paper had. The article headline is ``Questions Raised over Candidates Record''. One might think it was referring to a candidate's voting record, but if you have a chance to see the article, you'll realize it is his behavior record that is in question including a recent arrest (December). The article is about Kevin Doolin, a current Recreation Commissioner. I think a person that has had ``at least a half a dozen incidents where the police have had to intervene'' as this article states based on information from the Norfolk Police, should not hold any elected or appointed position and he should certainly not be elected to the position of Selectman. Mr. Doolin, please withdraw and please resign. - RP
5/3 10:03pm There is an election on Tuesday, May 5th [...]. I pulled it from The Sun Chronicle. NORFOLK -- As is usually the case for a town election, there is a race for board of selectmen in Tuesday's annual town election.Recreation commission member Kevin Doolin looks to unseat one-term Selectman Scott Bugbee, the board's current chairman who previously served on the recreation commission.
Voters will cast their ballots at Freeman-Kennedy School on Boardman Street from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.
CANDIDATES:
Scott Bugbee Age: 51.
Family: Wife Liz. Two children, Tucker and Emily.
Education: Bachelor of science in business administration with concentration in finance from the University of Vermont.
Occupation: Director of sales, Investment Metrics
Political Experience: Recreation commission 2010-2013; Board of selectmen 2012-present.
Party Affiliation: Republican.
Top Priority: ``I want to continue what I have started on many fronts. I want to continue the expansion of the commercial tax base which means continuing to work on bringing appropriate commercial expansion to our downtown area as well as in the town's other commercial areas. I want to continue the possible regionalizing of certain town services to provide the most efficient and cost effective services for our town. I want to continue to work with the other committees and boards that work so diligently to serve Norfolk.''
Position on Issue 1: What needs to be improved in town?
``Obviously we need to continue to work on improving our roads. This is a high-profile concern especially after the extreme weather we had this winter. I believe our schools and public safety departments are operating well but we are always looking to make improvements to better serve the residents of Norfolk.''
Position on Issue 2: How would you help maintain town services and hold down taxes?
``I think that it is vital to expand the town's commercial tax base but it is equally important to maintain Norfolk's small town charm. We have not had an operating budget override since 2005. During this time we have had to make budget cuts and staff reductions, but we have been able to avoid making cuts in services to our residents. I am director of sales at Investment Metrics in Norfolk and have also worked as an investment adviser for over 10 years so I feel that my financial background is an asset during the budgetary process.''
Favorite book or movie: Movie ``It's a Wonderful Life.''
Who would you most like to have dinner with and why? ``Honestly I want to have dinner with both of my children and wife, all four of us together.''
Quote: ``9/11 Never Forget.''
Kevin Doolin Age: 54.
Address: 13 Sweetland Farm Road
Family: Married to Angie Doolin and children Erin and Conor.
Education: Suffolk University, bachelor of science in journalism
Occupation: Owner of K.D. Cleaning Co.
Political Experience: Currently serving a three-year-term on recreation commission.
Party Affiliation: Unenrolled
Top Priority: Addressing high taxes and improving town roads.
Position on Issue 1: What needs to be improved in town?
``The escalating Norfolk residential tax rate to $17.66 per $1,000. This is burdening our senior citizens and middle class wage earners. Norfolk residents and taxpayers deserve great public roads in addition to our great schools and public safety. If elected, I would propose a warrant article spring or fall during my term and earmark the $250,000 town savings/earnings from Norfolk's Recycling/Transfer Station's two solar arrays'' for roadwork.
Position on Issue 2: How would you help maintain town services and hold down taxes?
``Norfolk needs line-item budgeting so residents and taxpayers are given a clear picture and ability to make personal town financial judgments. We need to unbundle the budget. One of my first year goals would be to reduce Norfolk's $30,000,000 budget by $1,000,000. We need to substantially reduce Norfolk's litigation costs. Let's broker compromise and support residents, business owners, developers and land owners.''
Favorite book or movie: Movie ``Inside Llewyn Davis.''
Who would you most like to have dinner with and why: ``Pat Metheny. My inspiration through life. Music nurtures the soul.''
Quote: ``Stay involved. Speak up for the children. And no matter what, shoot straight.''

5/3 9:19pm Today I attended the funeral of Jim Foley. For those of you that do not know Mr. Foley, he was a firefighter / EMT, former Deputy Fire Chief and former head of the highway department for the town of Norfolk. Today while driving through town I noticed that the flag on the Town Hill and at the Town Hall were at half staff, however the flag at the fire department was not. I'm not sure if the town had the flags at half staff for Mr. Foley or not but I do know that if the town ordered the flags at half staff then ALL town facilities must follow. I am a 10 year veteran of the Air Force and I find this to be disrespectful. The fire department should be ashamed of itself for its lack of respect for the death of a person who dedicated years to serving the town. I demand the fire department post an apology to not only the Foley family but also the town for such a display. - JS
[Update for my previous post. The town has told me that they have reached out to the Foley family and have apologized. - JS]

4/9 7:15pm My husband [was] away in the service and it has been a very hard winter to be alone. Not to mention being 6 months pregnant. This is the first winter in our house and had no idea about ice dams that form under these extreme conditions. With water starting to leak into the house I was in panic! Luckily a friend was able to point me in the direction of the company Robert Roofing and Gutters. On the same day they were able to come out clear my roof and treat the ice. Robert was extremely professional and was very knowledgeable. I could not be happier with the service they provided.
