A Tax Relief Program also allows Norfolk seniors the opportunity
to earn a substantial reduction of their property tax as an employee of the
town by assisting in various town departments. Effective January 1, 2017

senior's real estate taxes (toward a credit as high as $750.00). To qualify
for this program a senior must be 65 or older, own real estate in the town
of Norfolk, and have the capability to perform the work required in the
position.

As has been its tradition in the past several years, the Norfolk Lions
Christmas Tree Sale is located on the lot next to the Dunkin Donuts on Main
Street in downtown Norfolk. We thank the owners of our local Dunkin Donuts
for their continued support of the Norfolk Lions.
Selling hours are weekdays from 3:00 PM to 9:00 PM and weekends from 9:00 AM
to 9:00 PM. The Lions will be happy to trim the bottom of your tree, wrap
it and secure it to your car, although pickup trucks are very much
appreciated. We accept cash and checks to the Norfolk Lions Club; sorry no
credit cards.
Did you know that it takes 10 to 12 years of growing time and professional
care to bring a Christmas tree to harvest? Our trees come from northern
Maine and they are fresh and beautiful! We have both Balsam and Frazier Fir
trees, as well as wreaths. We also have tree bags and tree life
preservative to promote needle retention and help keep your tree fresh.
All of the proceeds from the sales of the trees go right back into the local
Norfolk community and to various Lions charities. "Monies that the Lions
generate go to seed such research as blindness prevention, diabetes
prevention and numerous other causes", says Mark Conley, this year's
President and King Lion. "Norfolk Lions has donated over $250,000 in it's
over 50 years of service to the community".
This year we will have a collection bin at the tree lot for Coats 4 Kids.
We will be collecting coats for men, women and children to be given to
families in need in our community. Any and all coats in good condition are
needed and all will be dry-cleaned courtesy of Anton's Cleaners.
We will also be collecting non-perishable food donations for the benefit of
the Norfolk Food Pantry. Like many of us, the food pantry has been hit hard
during these economic times and we would like to help out. Bill Hawkins,
co-chairman of the Christmas Tree Sale, further comments, "Your
contributions to the Norfolk Food Pantry would be appreciated and could not
come at a better time of year."
Again this year, the Boy Scouts of Norfolk will be offering a tree pick up
service after the holidays. For $10, the Scouts will pick up a tree at any
house in Norfolk and bring it to the transfer station for recycling. You
can register for this service at the lot when you buy your tree.
The Norfolk Lions Club currently has more than 100 men and women members and
is growing! We meet on the fourth Tuesday of the month at 7:00 PM at the
Norfolk Grange at 28 Rockwood Rd in Norfolk, MA. For more information or to
get involved with the Norfolk Lions Club, please visit

The Little Mermaid brings all the beloved characters you know from
the book and film to life on stage.
Based on one of Hans Christian Andersen's most beloved stories and
the classic animated film, Disney's The Little Mermaid is a hauntingly
beautiful love story for the ages. With music by eight-time Academy
Award winner Alan Menken, lyrics by Howard Ashman and Glenn Slater,
and a compelling book by Doug Wright, this fishy fable will capture

In a magical kingdom beneath the sea, the beautiful young mermaid,
Ariel (Cara DiPietro - Norfolk, MA), longs to leave her ocean home
to live in the world above.
Ariel, King Triton's (Nate April - Mansfield, MA) youngest daughter,
wishes to pursue the human Prince Eric (Matt Neary - Mansfield, MA)
in the world above, bargaining with the evil sea witch, Ursula (Cat
Sapovits ~ Mansfield, MA), to trade her tail for legs. But the
bargain is not what it seems, and Ariel needs the help of her
colorful friends, Flounder the fish (Gabriel Corey ~ Franklin, MA),
Scuttle the seagull (Martin Horwath ~ Uxbridge, MA) and Sebastian
the crab (George Potenza ~ Foxboro, MA) to restore order under the
sea.

Under the direction of Ashley Nelson, the Chorale will present
Randall Thompson's Frostiana: Seven Country Songs, putting seven
of Robert Frost's poems to music. The collection was originally
performed for the Bicentennial of Amherst, Massachusetts in 1959,
and includes pieces for female voices, male voices, and for four-part
chorus. They will also highlight the skills of Susan Fortin, Assistant
Music Director and piano accompanist. Other pieces will include
"I'll Be Home for Christmas," "Homeward Bound," "Bring Him Home
(Les Miserables)," "Home (Beauty and the Beast)," "Somewhere in My
Memory," and "Home for the Holidays." The Children's Choir's pieces
are yet to be announced.
The Chorale's annual Silent Auction fund-raiser will be held as
usual, featuring about fifty items donated by local businesses and
members. The Chorale also raises funds through its program and
adbook, which features local businesses, and a raffle specifically
targeted to earn funds for the Chorale's outreach to the community.
In recent years, the outreach funds have been directed toward the
Charles River Children's Choir. Medway High School is a new venue
for the Chorale, which performed primarily at Millis High School
for thirty of its first thirty-one seasons. Although the Chorale
was comfortable at the facility, the expanding audience base and
general performance needs dictated a search for new venue. Medway's
newer facility is expected to fill those needs for the foreseeable
future. The Chorale will nonetheless continue to support the Millis
community, and continues to rehearse in Millis.
Changing venues is bittersweet, especially for longtime members.
The Chorale began its existence as Millis' Bicentennial Chorus,
performing in Washington, D.C. Members of that group later came
together to charter the group as the Millis Community Chorale,
enlisting the aid of founding Director Roy Kelley. The membership
grew to include members from throughout the Charles River area,
eventually leading to a change of name. When Maestro Kelley retired
after thirty (30) years, the Chorale was fortunate to attract the
interest of Ashley Nelson, the current Director.
The Chorale draws membership from throughout the Charles River
Valley, and performs two major concerts per year. It is available
for other events as well. The group hopes to continue to expand
its membership, audience reach, skills, and repertory for many years
to come.

Please come to the Norfolk dedication in honor of Jack McFeeley. An
honorary bench has been installed overlooking the clock on Town Hill in the
center of Norfolk next to the Norfolk Public Library. There's a story to
that clock and Jack McFeeley was at the center of it. Come and learn more
about this wonderful human being! Join us for a simple ceremony followed by
light refreshments and music at the Tramp House. The event is hosted by
Norfolk Community TV & the Norfolk Lions. We look forward to celebrating a
onderful man and his many contributions to our great town.
Thank you.
"Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have
imagined." - Henry David Thoreau
About Jack McFeeley:
John J. ``Jack'' McFeeley, 69, of Norfolk, was born in Brooklyn, NY on August
15, 1945. He left us unexpectedly on February 5, 2015. He was the beloved
husband of Jacquelyn ``Jackie'' (Ratzin) McFeeley and son of
the late John
and Maude (Irvine) McFeeley.
Educated early on in Brooklyn schools, Jack received his Ph.D. in Chemical
Engineering from the Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn. He worked for many
years as a Chemical Engineer at Polaroid and later at Arkwright in Rhode
Island until retirement.
Jack was very active and stayed involved in community service, a real
"people person." Serving generously, he gave much of himself to his
community and his friends. He was Town Administrator for the town of
Wrentham and on the Board of Selectmen in Norfolk for many years. Not only
a charter member of the Lions Club in Norfolk, Jack was an active member of
the Norfolk Democratic Committee, President, not only once but two times,
of the Norfolk Community TV Board of Directors, as well as many other town
committees.
He was very proud of his Irish descent, loved history and was a math whiz.
All sports, especially baseball and football held his interest with great
enthusiasm. He was the rock and moral compass of his family, providing
inspiration and guidance whenever needed. Jack McFeeley is sorely missed
and will remain deeply respected by his family, friends and community. An
example of a life well lived, though way too short, with kindness,
attention to detail and ethics, more than enough joy to share, Jack's
greatest gift was his generosity of spirit. Jack will continue to be a
role model to be emulated, with a life most certainly to be celebrated.
Thank you.
Hosted by the King Philip Music Association, Band Night was started as an
Open House event for younger students to learn to play with the Marching
Band. When a Marching Band rehearsal fell on Halloween a few years ago,
"trunk or treat" was started so the students wouldn't miss out on Halloween
candy. Now an annual tradition, Band Night and trunk or treat are combined
for a fantastic evening. Students of all levels of musicianship, dance or
gymnastics are encouraged to attend and learn what the National Champion
(2015 Group III Open) King Philip Marching Band is all about.
This year we expect over 100 younger students to join in for an evening of
learning with and playing alongside the Marching Band. Students should come
accompanied by a parent or guardian and bring their musical instrument to
the high school. Flags will be provided for any students interested in
Color Guard. The band will practice outside, so please dress appropriately
for the weather, and by all means Halloween costumes are encouraged!

to become intervenors in the Northeast Access Pipeline project (Spectra)
www.change.org/p/norfolk-ma-board-of-selectmen-norfolk-ma-residents-against-the-spectra-gas-pipeline-project
Intervenor Status which requests...
...Town officials to file an application to become an Intervenor on the pipeline issue. Having Intervenor Status simply allows the town to act on behalf of its residents and have a say in the process. It positions and allows the town to weigh in on what is happening with regards to the proposed Spectra pipeline expansion project. It does not require the town to take a position either for or against the project but rather to simply request to be able to participate in the process.Thank You.

The Lions have committed $2,500 to the project and are donating most of the
labor. They have also earmarked a donation of $500 received from a
developer in town to the project. The overall construction cost will be
approximately $5,000, so the Lions are trying to raise additional funds to
help offset the cost of construction through a GoFundMe campaign. Any funds
raised beyond the actual construction costs will be used to purchase
non-perishable items for the Food Pantry or donated directly as cash.
The Lions are now looking for help from the community - any donation will be
appreciated not only by the Lions, but by all the people this project will
serve. You can make a donation on the GoFundMe web site at
www.gofundme.com/2maxae6s.
Or
if you prefer to donate directly to the Lions, you can mail a check to:
Norfolk Lions, P.O. Box 608, Norfolk, MA 02056. Make checks payable to the
Norfolk Lions and please put "Food Pantry Project" on the memo line.
About the Norfolk Lions Club
The Norfolk Lions Club, founded in 1958, is a non-profit organization made
up of men and women dedicated to serving the community of Norfolk,
Massachusetts and promoting the mission of Lions Club International. One of
the main goals of the Norfolk Lions Club is to add value to the local
quality of life here in Norfolk. Events like Christmas Tree Sales, the
Santa Parade, Community Day, Health Day, Chili Fest and the Haunted Train
Ride, are just a few of many events sponsored by the Norfolk Lions. These
annual traditions are excellent examples of how "we serve" our community.
We are always looking for new members and we'd like to extend you an
invitation to learn more about our service club!! We have more than 100
members and continue to grow. It's a great way to meet new friends,
participate in fun activities, and, at the same time make a valuable
contribution to the people of Norfolk and people worldwide.

Under the direction of Ashley Nelson, the Chorale will rehearse
works for its December offering, "Home for the Holidays." Among the
works featured will be Randall Thompson's Frostiana: Seven Country
Songs. Specifically composed to put seven of Robert Frost's
winter-themed poems to music. The collection was originally performed
for the Bicentennial of Amherst, Massachusetts in 1959. The pieces
include works for male voices alone, female voices alone and for
four-part chorus. They will also highlight the skills of Susan
Fortin, Assistant Music Director and piano accompanist.
The remainder of the music is yet to be announced, but is expected
to be enjoyable to rehearse and perform.
The Chorale is a non-audition community chorus. Anyone who wants
to sing is encouraged to join us. Membership is fluid for the first
month; new members are generally accepted only during the first
four weeks. No musical training is required, and Ms. Nelson will
work with new members to determine the range at which their voices
and skills will be most successful. Members pay dues of $65.00 for
the entire year (holiday and spring concerts) and reimburse the
chorale for the cost of their music, and keep the music. High school
students are not required to pay dues. The Chorale also performs
outreach to the community. Currently, the Chorale sponsors and
financially supports the Charles River Children's Choir. The
Children's Choir also performs at the Chorale's concerts.
The Chorale is always looking for ways to expand its repertoire and
reach. Over the past summer, a "third season" of a cappella and
barbershop music was rehearsed by members willing to brave the heat.
The men and the women involved performed in several small venues,
and in the process increased their skills and repertoire.
Anyone interested in vocal performance is encouraged to visit with
us beginning September 13, 2016.
While there, I met an amazing youth who had a great passion for
learning. He was 14, and actually came to our research team and wanted
to spend his summer vacation days collecting data with us! We spent
long hours walking around in the sun, surveying people, and mapping
structures. It was amazing to get to know this young man and how much
he loved learning.
Unfortunately, the financial costs of technology are a barrier to
learning these days. That's why I am raising money to buy him a laptop
before he goes into high school.
Here is a link to the project profile on GoFundMe, where you can
donate to the laptop:
gofundme.com/2hqzdp5g
Any amount is appreciated, and will make a difference.
Thank you!

The Norfolk Council on Aging will be holding a registration event
for these cards at the Norfolk Senior Center on August 12th from 1 p.m. to 8
p.m. Applicants will be processed at that time for the GATRA ID Card which
will enable them to take advantage of the GATRA Dial-A-Ride service, the
GATRA long distance medical transportation services, and get reduced fares
on the GATRA buses.
Applicants must bring proof of age on the day of the event-a valid
(unexpired) RMV photo ID or passport. At the event, they will fill out a
registration form, proof of age will be verified, and a photograph will be
taken for the Senior Charlie Card and GATRA photo ID that will subsequently
be mailed directly to registrants. A single, two-sided card will be issued
with one side serving as the Senior Charlie Card and the other side serving
as the GATRA ID. This is the same Charlie Card that is issued by the MBTA
and can be loaded with fares and used exactly like the Charlie Cards
obtained directly from the MBTA.
This is a special opportunity for Norfolk residents because the
normal MBTA eligibility age for a Senior Charlie Card is 65 years of age and
it is usually required that applicants travel to the MBTA office in Boston
to get one issued.
Norfolk residents are encouraged to contact eligible friends,
neighbors, and loved ones about this opportunity. The Norfolk Senior Center
is located at 28 Medway Branch Road and is open Monday thru Friday from 9 a.
m. to 4 p. m. For further information about this program (transportation for
this event can also be arranged for Norfolk residents) and a schedule of all
Norfolk Senior Center events, programs, and activities can be obtained by
calling 508-528-4430.

Have been watching for the black bird with white tip wings
and I saw a bird in my back yard feeder which matched
your description.
Although it looked all black in the sun, it seemed to have
a slightly brown shade in the head.
Bird books description matched female lark bunting.
Male is completely black with white on wings.
Looked like a small blackbird to me.

This art show is unique in that it showcases all levels of interest in art

wonderful exhibit.
All submitted artwork received an Honorable Mention Award, with place awards
given in three age groups: grades 1 & 2, grades 3 & 4, and grades 5 & 6.
There was also an overall Grand Prize winner. Winners were selected based

Monthly meetings of the group will provide participants with
friendship and support, the opportunity to share information, learn more
about their condition, as well as discovering the benefits and services
available through the Massachusetts Commission for the Blind, the Perkins
School, and other agencies. Additionally, guest speakers (including
advocates, specialists, or experts in the field) will present information
about developing coping skills, low-vision aids, and related resources with
the goal of maintaining a safe home environment and living as independently
as possible.
The next meeting of the group will be at the Norfolk Senior Center
on Thursday, June 23rd from 10:30 a.m. until noon (lunch will be served).
The guest speaker will be Andrea Schein, the Public Education Consultant for
the BRIDGE Program at the Massachusetts Commission for the Blind, who will
discuss normal changes in the aging eye, causes of vision loss, vision
preservation, and related issues.
This program is free and open to all. Norfolk residents are
encouraged to bring this special program to the attention of those friends,
neighbors, or loved ones who can benefit from the assistance and support
this group provides.
The June 23rd meeting requires registration. For more information

This leaves me wondering if Norfolk's Senior Center programming is being
evaluated in order to consider some of these changing demographics. In looking at
the "Silver Gazette," it looks like there is fairly traditional programing, but
not anything that would be in the category of anything mentioned in the article. I
didn???t see an email address anywhere in the June newsletter for the Center, which
I thought was a bit odd.
Does anyone have any feedback on attendance at events at the Center? I've seen
write ups in the Gazette about activities at many of the area Senior Centers, but
can't recall anything from Norfolk. We have a substantial investment in the
building. Is it being utilized effectively?

Ken Gloss, book antiquarian and owner of the world-famous

examples of books and ephemera he has acquired over a span of many years.
Mark your calendar to attend this free program as both
participants and observers are welcome to attend. Those who bring items are
limited to two per person for a free evaluation and appraisal. In addition
to old books, documents (e.g., autographed materials, maps, magazines,

months, especially toward the end of the summer? To help alleviate this
problem, the Lions are running a food drive at Community Day. Our goal is
to Stuff-A-Truck full of food to be shared between the Norfolk and Franklin
food pantries. Some items that are currently needed are jelly, maple syrup,
hamburger/tuna helper, mayonnaise, tooth paste and hand soap. Please help
us to reach our goal by bringing your donation to Community Day so we can
fill that truck!
The Norfolk Lions could not undertake this fun event without the wide-spread
assistance of all those who volunteer their funds, materials and time. The

I am a 19 year old college student who will be home for the summer. I
have a babysitting job set for during the week but would also like to
pick up a night here and there on weekends. I have been babysitting for
the same family for 2 years - 2 kids, ages 9 and 11, so I do have
experience. I have a car so I am able to drive anywhere if necessary.

you! You can reach me at

Weather forecast for Norfolk Community Day 2016: It will be raining golf
balls at mid-afternoon!
How would you like a chance to win up to $1000 or $250 and support local
charities at the same time? Buy one of the Norfolk Lion's charity golf
balls for $10.00. This year up to 250 numbered golf balls will be sold and
two prizes will be awarded.
Between 2:30 and 3:00 on Norfolk Community Day, all numbered balls will be
placed in a container and dropped 40 feet from the top of the Norfolk Fire
Dept ladder truck. The balls will fall onto a 100 foot circle painted on
the grass with a pin in the center. The ball closest to the pin wins $1000
and the second closest ball wins $250. The remaining $1250 will be donated
to Norfolk charities to be named at a later date.
In the unlikely event of a tie, the winnings will be split. The Norfolk
Police Dept will monitor judging. You do not have to be present to win.
With only 250 balls sold, your odds of winning are fantastic, so hurry and
get yours. The Norfolk Lions will be selling golf balls at the Norfolk
Recycling/Transfer Station on Saturday, May 21 from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
and at the Pond Street Complex on Sunday, May 22 from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00

* Enhance civic engagement in Norfolk Town Meetings (and town decision
making)
* Make the Town Meeting environment warmer and more welcoming
* Improve communications
* Use the Internet to help people prepare for Town Meetings
* Leverage the knowledge, expertise, and experience of Norfolk residents
to make decisions that are better for Norfolk
I've lived in Norfolk for over 37 years. I've been
disappointed at the relatively low level of participation in our Town
Meetings (around 200 - 250 out of about 6,500 registered voters). A
number of people are frustrated that they pay too much in taxes for the
services they get. I want to increase citizen participation so that
citizens can make the tradeoffs between how much taxes they pay and what
services they receive.
Different people bring different approaches, levels of commitment, and
skills to the job. From my background in computer programming, I have
a natural creative orientation. By virtue of my style, I want to build
consensus and be sure every voice is heard and considered. From my
training in mediation and negotiation, I use a collaborative
problem-solving approach.
I've always had an interest in working with town boards,
committees and officials to encourage them to open town decision-making
to as much civic participation as possible. After I retired from MIT, I
now have the time to pursue that interest and work to town
decision-making to as much civic participation as possible.
I've looked at how citizen participation was increased in other
jurisdictions, read about practices that had proved effective in other
areas, and solicited ideas from Norfolk voters. Many residents shared
their ideas with me. I published all the ideas and suggestions that I
received on my web site at
sites.google.com/site/rosenberg4moderator/home/comments
Look at the ideas there and share your ideas about how you want to
participate and how we could make it easier for you to participate.
Please share your ideas with me by sending E Mail to me at
"Rosenberg@ACM.org" with "Norfolk Civic Engagement" in the subject (to
help me find those messages among the other E-Mail I get). Or if you'd
prefer, you can call me at home at 1-508-528-7124 so that we can discuss
how to proceed.
Vote for more civic engagement - elect David Rosenberg Norfolk Town
Moderator on May 3rd.
Resides in Norfolk close to downtown, needs rides to
downtown Norfolk, Horace Mann Plaza Franklin (Shaw's)
as far away as Agway's in Franklin. All within the local
area. If interested please call 508-528-1043 to discuss
arrangements and compensation.
Thank You,
My opinion, you can see the difference of both candidates. Dan
Fallon has the experience and you can see that in his interview. He also
has the best experience by far to help the community. I urge the voters
of Norfolk to vote for Dan Fallon for Constable on May 3rd. He will not
disappoint us.

May 31 - Basic Camera
For the 7th year the Norfolk Lions are sponsoring a youth art show open to
all Norfolk residents in grades 1 through 6. The art work submitted should
represent a 'Scene around Norfolk/Your Community'. The Youth Art Show,
where all the art work will be displayed, will be held at Norfolk Community
Day on June 4, 2016 at the Holmes Complex, 22 Myrtle St., Norfolk. In
addition, all art work will become a part of a slide show that will be
broadcast on Norfolk Cable TV.
This show is free to all participants, with one entry per person. This year
we will also accept art work of other mediums including 3D (i.e.: sculpture,
diorama, layered materials, etc.). Entries submitted on paper may be no
larger than 11" by 17" and 3D entries may be no larger than 17" by 17" by
12". Each entry must include an entry form taped to the backside of the
art. Entry forms have been sent home electronically for all children in the
Norfolk public schools. Additional forms are also available in the main
lobby of the Norfolk Public Library.
Entries will also be judged by a panel appointed by the Norfolk Lions in
three age groups: grades 1 and 2, grades 3 and 4, and grades 5 and 6.
Winners will be selected based on artistic creativity, neatness and
originality. All entries will receive an award and winners in each age
group will be awarded 1st, 2nd and 3rd place and honorable mention ribbons.
But that's not all - the 1st place winners in each age group and one Grand
Prize winner will also each receive gift certificates! These winning

Save the date! June may seem like a long way off, but the Norfolk
Lions Community Day team is already planning this annual event.
This year's event resurrects the original ``Old Tyme Day'' theme
from years past when times were a little slower and more affordable.
Community Day 2016 will take place on Saturday, June 4, 2016 from
11:00 until 4:00. Once again the Holmes Family has graciously
agreed to host the event at their property at 22 Myrtle Street,
Norfolk.
This will be the Lions' 24th year bringing a day of family fun and
entertainment. The Lions' goal is to provide a country fair type
environment including music, dancing, games, petting animals,
hayrides, train rides, pie eating contest, foam for kids to play
in, food and historical displays. This is an event for the entire
Norfolk Community to come out, celebrate and get to know neighbors.
The Lions welcome your participation and invite any Norfolk business,
organization, neighborhood or group to participate in Community
Day. Groups and organizations (including corporations) can take
part in a number of ways, whether by setting up a booth or tent,
sponsoring an activity or entertainment, or simply by becoming a
sponsor.
If you would like a booth, we do ask that you provide something in
return. For example, if your company wants to have a booth, then
you should have something to offer that will add to the fun such
as a game or activity, or provide financial support that will be
used towards other expenses. You can also sponsor an event or
entertainment. We are flexible; just tell us what you have in mind.
Help make Norfolk Community Day 2016 one of the best and join the
fun. You may contact the Norfolk Lions Club at
norfolkcommunityday@gmail.com
or call Ed M. @ 508-528-9302
or Patti M. @ 508-520-0540.
The ranch is a new endeavor and was not in operation prior to its current
use about 2 years ago. Prior to that it was an undeveloped plot of wooded
land undisturbed for years. Now, all the trees are gone with crowds and
noise having replaced them. Homeowners that have lived in the area for
years are now subject to that noise including gun shots, loud music and
PA systems, dust and traffic that they hadn't signed up for when they
bought their homes.
It is not a ``cool annual event'' as you've stated. The Board of Selectmen
has given an entertainment license for a number of shooting contests (with
rain dates) and barrel racing dates. This in fact, represents many of the
Sundays in the summer where neighbors have to endure the noise and
associated issues with running these events. Cookouts, family events and
simple quiet enjoyment of their properties now suffer.
In fact in order to protect their rights and home values, sound engineers
were hired who have reported noise far above the state and federal levels
allowed.
If it were an ``annual event'' I don't believe there would be such an issue
for the neighbors.
Unfortunately, it's not 200 years ago as you stated. Many people have
spent their life savings to own the homes they used to enjoy in summers
past. Imagine attempting to sell your house during one of these events?
Not a big selling point. To them it isn't the romantic picture you paint
in your miss-informed post but one of a nuisance planted in a formerly
quiet residential neighborhood.
Small and large furniture items, outdoor sporting gear, books, toys,
tools...
Everything must go!
Open House on
Sunday, April 3rd...

Ivy Music Academy is pleased to announce that along with the regular
lessons, we are now providing a Musical Theatre Workshop taught by Ivy
Voice/Piano Instructor, Elyssa Lata.
In this workshop, we are doing full scenes from Broadway Musicals -
which means acting, singing, and dancing. This will provide students
with a safe, encouraging environment to express their creativity,
improve their musical skills, and work in a group. Each student is
guaranteed at least 2 solos and a duet.
At the end of the semester, we will have a fully staged production (with
stage makeup and costumes) to showcase the participating students` hard
work.
This program is available at 11:15 am and at 2pm on Saturdays for a
period of 1 hour.
Since it is a walk-in class you can pay at a visit.
The fee for attending one class is $15.
For more information please visit our Facebook page - Ivy Music Academy,
where you can see videos from some of our classes.
You can also email us at
ivymusicacademy@gmail.com
to call us at (781)-647-5390.
We hope that you are as excited by this new opportunity as we are!
I walk to the train each morning and really like the way it gets
me ready for the day.
Here's the thing...trash is piling up along the road sides and just
inside the tree line everywhere I look.
I've been known to bring a trash bag with me and pick up what I see
along my usual route to the train and around my neighborhood.
I encourage everyone to do the same. It sounds clich, but if everyone
picked up there immediate area the difference would be significant.
Don't be like those on the train platform this morning that stepped
over a stack of used scratch tickets and empty nip bottles...the
same ones who looked at me funny for picking them up.
If you live in town, you pay dearly for the pleasure through your
real estate taxes. I, for one, love living in a small town in the
suburbs and don't want it to resemble some city street with trash
everywhere I look.
Give it some thought...walk down the train platform in the center
of town and feel like you're in some big dirty city, then look at
the design requirements for buildings in town and notice that we
strive to create a cozy small town center.
Help out the community and be a positive example for our children
to follow...trash might not be the biggest issue in today's society,
but I believe that routinely being exposed to it visually, eats
away at your sense of pride in your town and encourages the ``no
one else cares, why should I'' attitude.
Stepping off of my soapbox

Please residents close by to this remarkable show... Remember to
``Live and Let Live''. It's just one day of lots
of good cheer and childhood dreams of the good-ol' west come
alive; even for me a 50 something long time resident so do check this
out, you might actually like it and, imagine how a child's
creative mind will expand and elate over this and of the story's
they will have to share, even years from now as
``grown-ups' just like us. And so, to all I say ah Yippie
Ki-Yay and why not ; ) Let's keep this event as yet another way
to show how diverse and unique a community we are. But for now,
I'll settle for some newly inspired dreams of horses and barrels
... ropes, dust, hooting and ah-hollering just like 200 years ago ...
Amazing indeed! Thank You!

Registrations completed after February 10, 2016 will be placed on
a waitlist and, if accepted, will incur a $30 late fee. Registrations
will only be accepted if all outstanding fees to the Club have been
paid. Every NEW player will be required to purchase a `new' SC
Norfolk Uniform during registration. If you have purchased a uniform
since the fall 2012 season then you do NOT need to purchase a new
uniform, if it still fits your child.
Register online by going to our website scnorfolk.com and selecting
the "Online Registration" link from the "Quick Links" menu on the
left side of the page. This link will take you to the scnorfolk.com
registration page where registration instructions are provided, as
well as a link to the AdminSports site that handles registrations
and payments. This is the only method for registration. Online
payments may be made using a credit or debit card. ***Please note
that we do not accept payment by check***
The cost for Spring registration is $125.00. The purchase of a
uniform is also required, unless you already have a "current"
uniform. Older uniform versions are not acceptable. If you volunteer
to be a "Head Coach", you already have, or receive your `F' coaching
license during the current season, and you are assigned the "Head
Coach" role for your child's team for the entire season, your child's
program fee will be refunded at the end of the season (only one
program fee per family will be refunded for each Head Coach).
Eligibility is open to all children living in Norfolk (or with a
parent living in Norfolk) who are currently in grades three through
six. The requirement to be at least in grade three is a rule
implemented by Boston Area Youth Soccer League (BAYS), which is the
league in which we play. "The Boston Area Youth Soccer League (BAYS)
prohibits U8 and younger players to play on a BAYS team unless they
are in the 3rd Grade. This Policy was effective starting with the
Fall 2012 season. U8 players in the third grade will need a waiver
to play."
Team rosters for the Outdoor Spring 2016 season will be e-mailed
out prior to the start of the season. The weekly games are played
on Saturdays and will run from April 9 through June 11 (10 games).
There will be 2 practices per week.
As this is travel soccer and is considered competitive play,
attendance at all practices and games is expected. Rosters are
formulated and teams are competitively placed with the expectation
that those players that are on the roster will be at the games and
practices. Especially in the 6v6 games for U10 and under players,
a single player can have a significant influence on where a team
is placed to achieve an appropriate level of competition.
Game schedules are set by BAYS. Currently, this is the current
Saturday game schedule, but this is subject to change:
Girls U9 and U12 10:30 AM
Girls U10 and U11 11:45 AM
Boys U10 and U11 1:00 PM
Boys U9 and U12 2:30 PM
Practices are determined by each coach. The practice slots at the
Pond Street Fields available to SC Norfolk, as provided by Norfolk
Recreation, are currently:
Monday: 4:00 - 5:30 or 5:30 - 7:00
Wednesday: 4:00 - 5:30 or 5:30 - 7:00
Thursday: 4:00 - 5:30 or 5:30 - 7:00

Completing an OSRP that gains approval from the Massachusetts
Division of Conservation Services (DCS) provides two primary benefits:
(1) It provides a document to guide future Town decisions pertaining
to open space and recreation, and
(2) It makes the Town eligible for grants that can be used to
purchase open space and develop recreation facilities.
The last DCS-approved OSRP for Norfolk was prepared in 1996. That
plan resulted in a state grant that helped purchase the Lind Farm
Conservation Land.
Public participation is a key component of preparing a plan. Town
boards and committees will also have an opportunity for input, but
the forum is an opportunity for all residents to comment on any
aspect of the draft plan as well as to present their ideas about
future efforts to meet open space and recreation needs in Norfolk.
How many debt exclusions are we currently paying for?
When do the current debt exclusions end?
How are we going to pay for maintenance on a new building?
Obviously there was not much effort put into maintaining the current
facility. I am sure there are plenty of homes in the town that were
built on or before 1966 that are in perfectly good condition.
A Red Cross Blood
Drive will be held at the Federated Church of Norfolk on Saturday,

Common. Ample parking is located behind the church. To make an
appointment or to receive further information, please call

My recent campaign of waiting till u leave the room and then shi**ing in
the corner because that infuriates you and I laugh inside because you
get so animated and it reminds me of fetch and chasing tails, has failed
to produce an admission by you that I am unhappy.
Consider today's mauling of your magical "screen-turning-on" device as a
WARNING bcause I have tasted it and carried it around and I'm now pretty
confident I could eat its brain out if I don't get scared when the
batteries roll out like last time.
If you want to make me happy: turn up the thermostat on the outside
yard, because it looks warm enough from inside, but you trick me
every day and boot me out when I hesitate at the chilly doorway.

I am a senior at King Philip High
School and self-taught guitar player. Once I had taught myself
guitar for a year to learn the basics I took lessons in order to
take my playing to the next level. I know how costly guitar lessons
can be, especially when you just want to start playing. I am now
giving lessons to those who show an interest in learning how to
play guitar. It is a great way to start learning guitar in the
comfort of your own home. I suggest owning your own guitar but if
needed I can provide a quality guitar to get started.

"School of Rock" is a brand new, high-energy musical with an unforgettable rock score from Tony Award-winning composer Andrew Lloyd
Webber. Based on the famous Paramount film written by Mike White, which starred Jack Black, the musical follows Dewey Finn, a failed,
wannabe rock star who decides to earn a few extra bucks by posing as a substitute teacher at a prestigious prep school. Completely
disinterested in academic work, Dewey decides to create his own curriculum, turning his class into a guitar-shredding, bass-slapping,
mind-blowing rock band. With 14 new songs "School of Rock" also includes all of the original songs from the movie. This production
features a sensational on-stage kids' rock band and is a loving testimony to the transforming power of music. May the spirit of rock be
with you!
