Stacy said the program is intended to fill a gap in local recovery services; the coach can assist people seeking to begin treatment, those leaving treatment who need community support, and people in long-term recovery who want ongoing contact. An intake form will be used and the intake must be completed with the person seeking help rather than submitted by a third party.

The director said the program will be promoted on the health department website and to local first responders, recovery centers and school staff; the police department and school wellness staff will be informed so officers and school staff who encounter someone in need can refer them to the coach. Stacy said statistics will be provided in aggregate but individual referrals will remain private.

Stacy noted insurance coverage varies: MassHealth may cover some services but private insurers may not, and the program is intended to fill service gaps when insurance coverage is absent.

Ending: Riverside will present details at the next board meeting, and the board welcomed the partnership as a step to expand recovery support for residents.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Town of Norwood: Board of Health 3.31.25","oneSentenceSummary","Director Stacy announced a new partnership with Riverside to provide a recovery coach (Johnny Pike) to assist residents at any stage of substance-use recovery; intake will require person participation and the program will be promoted to police, fire, schools and recovery centers.","taxTitle","Town of Norwood, Norfolk County, Massachusetts","taxId",52806,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6098013,"Environmental health inspectors report new food businesses, common violations and schedule for training",685,1006000,1691000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2825663-1d05d4c49dd832efe1f70eae2bc52dcd&start=1006&end=1691","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2825663-1d05d4c49dd832efe1f70eae2bc52dcd/thumbnail_1006000.jpg","/articles/6098013/Town-of-Norwood/Norfolk-County/Massachusetts/Environmental-health-inspectors-report-new-food-businesses-common-violations-and-schedule-for-training","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6098013-a194a6941bb2a40d7c73c2e8b35231ea/orig.mp4?Expires=1771175489&Signature=aaX4~rhJfrpffEMYBYp8gaDHAdfQcI5uevmlSckZDfZV9boakekLYzovuIBAytnGo3CmYY2lpClAF9VAXda8fC6c~49Tli-wcL937Ftc6Y5v-UqDAkuGKXmE8mtETKKA5-5-vWPI~kKHvAjPRaKcM52Saa-TqdZQVBNpETZmhzG~YpRfRDbQD8sOhAQ4u~H0tZhjP2oFfvvRqh67QR2Ww6HmrnIbZAjTelwFJHPgwfVqEdcl4WORERF4v4DsmC4Udag2txr8QUHmk7TDZTDGmr264GFD1PkDJ4a5jQ3vlYIofa6ypi88yG2NAF~pi2o-mkY-nzoPHS0xqOHMqBZBtg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Environmental health inspectors updated the Norwood Board of Health on new establishments, reinspection practices, recurring violations and planned trainings.

Inspectors said a Panini press business on Chapel Street has opened, K Street location is finishing plumbing corrections, Buddy Mulligan’s construction continues, and Royal Creamery (an ice-cream and boba tea concept) is in development next to Ocean State Job Lot. The Royal Pizza owner is opening the Creamery.

Inspectors reviewed recent reinspection activity and noted establishments returned to compliance on follow-up visits. Several recurring issues were discussed: failure to wash hands before donning gloves (an on-site manager corrected an employee at Charles Supermarket), incomplete pH logs (Mazuya and other establishments), and missing assigned food managers (Cadence Academy was given 30 days to name a food manager after the prior one left). Inspectors said routine inspections are unannounced and occur twice per year; reinspections for violations are scheduled and given correction timelines.

Angelo, an environmental health inspector, said routine inspections are unannounced and establishments receive two per year; the length of an inspection varies by establishment size (supermarket inspections may take up to 2–2.5 hours; pizza shops 45–90 minutes).

Inspectors said they try to include positive observations on inspection reports, supply signage and training materials to establishments, and plan a training session in November focusing on common violations.

Ending: The board asked staff to continue targeted reinspections for establishments with repeat critical violations and to prioritize educational outreach and the planned November training.","Inspectors updated the board on new and ongoing food establishments, common violations (handwashing, glove use, pH logs), reinspections and a planned training in November for food handlers and staff.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6098019,"Norfolk County Mosquito Control District may use helicopters for wetlands larvicide applications April–Oct; Norwood listed among towns",79,646000,725000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2825663-1d05d4c49dd832efe1f70eae2bc52dcd&start=646&end=725","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2825663-1d05d4c49dd832efe1f70eae2bc52dcd/thumbnail_646000.jpg","/articles/6098019/Town-of-Norwood/Norfolk-County/Massachusetts/Norfolk-County-Mosquito-Control-District-may-use-helicopters-for-wetlands-larvicide-applications-AprilOct-Norwood-listed-among-towns","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6098019-7d0d0e581137c974a6758f37e70a3e08/orig.mp4?Expires=1771175489&Signature=HokrJ9yZUqkib~wUZ-gwIIS10hRMQNBsFU2QmpaTsB0hhV9qNhIOtbsVeBMcmg9LxHh7BZpUMN7kvPEa97TzjiRGhqyFJ7tzt1qVtyD2CHOJ2-Fe3Vtu4lwWhw2UNopHrKoC0u9JpNmsNw888f1FIhOIqryxFQBzfuiG5ewurRzUrNXYA6grELGwV9XKkEYTQrxo25tNacGTnoziS~R4uKXJUVMRkoCrZxdtHlqrdQlYMgDIs7aHAa7fepMUZ5EnOY-mqWeB9JywsFl-4QqMl6xS9j1B7GC-603BxNw2gDmJnviXiod8n~AC~b8xxBJ6ZmZlQSbLs40HmKLIB~JzfA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Norwood Board of Health reviewed a notice from the Norfolk County Mosquito Control District that the district may conduct helicopter applications of biorational larvicides targeting mosquito larvae in larger wetland areas between April 1 and Oct. 31.

The towns named in the packet included Avon, Bellingham, Canton, Dedham, Dover, Foxborough, Franklin, Holbrook, Medfield, Needham, Norfolk, Norwood, Quincy, Randolph, Sharon, Stoughton, Walpole, Westwood, Weymouth, Wrentham and others.

The board was told that applications are restricted to wetlands and are usually performed early in the morning; they are not described as residential aerial spraying. The notice advised residents to check the district’s website for location details and scheduling; the meeting packet printed a web address provided by the district.

Ending: Board members said the district normally announces operations and that helicopters are commonly visible during application days; the board recorded the notice for the public record.","Board reviewed notice that the Norfolk County Mosquito Control District may conduct helicopter-based applications of biological larvicides to wetland locations between April 1 and Oct. 31; district will post targeted locations and has a website listed in the notice.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6098023,"Board introduces regional public health nurse and appoints regional epidemiologist as agent",518,58000,576000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2825663-1d05d4c49dd832efe1f70eae2bc52dcd&start=58&end=576","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2825663-1d05d4c49dd832efe1f70eae2bc52dcd/thumbnail_58000.jpg","/articles/6098023/Town-of-Norwood/Norfolk-County/Massachusetts/Board-introduces-regional-public-health-nurse-and-appoints-regional-epidemiologist-as-agent","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6098023-1a5bf1b3b3b542fa781ac182103c0a57/orig.mp4?Expires=1771175489&Signature=T41SFYfvvupEAdBnSlw3lRcwUg9WT640VFBaSuGru7OCbywEncPDvbHWulvMWolyrXpWjhn2POHnphl8DedrBo2jVTgNn89NQ6ZQ886SUvWv2Qk4o16VCJ-l~TwadHdB5piVB8TawuIiVDFWdh6ArxljNGtWADQTwlKcf0L-8j5dlpAvZfVPQbgl6-TP28OmTZWGCxIUJxnTEqMYKEzOiLys0W7Xk2BgI9gufJuP98Y~j2o158m~0eUb1R7nOCaRPeir-HBuosun32IVfbryTWJhNn5vrTYBTFw3A7y4I5ezDgR4qylajQii40rQczkrFkEfPHKT3tH1G7CYL3f7Qg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Norwood Board of Health heard introductions from two regional public-health staff and approved an appointment of the regional epidemiologist as an agent of the board.

Kristen McEntire introduced herself as the regional public health nurse for the NCA Coalition and said Norwood is one of the seven towns she serves. She described providing hands-on support for local clinics, camp set-ups and outbreak assistance and said she also helps with programming and paperwork. “Kind of anywhere nursing is needed, I'm there,” McEntire said.

Diane, the town public health nurse, told the board that McEntire can access the reportable-disease system Maven and assist with cases or outbreaks.

The board also introduced Katie Reisdorf, who identified herself as the new regional epidemiologist for the NCA Coalition; Reisdorf described her background in public-health microbiology and a master's degree in epidemiology and said she will handle outbreak investigations and programming for communities.

A motion was made to appoint Reisdorf as an agent of the board; the chair confirmed the appointment during the meeting.

Ending: The board welcomed both staff, and members noted the added capacity for outbreak response, camp inspections and routine public-health programming.","Kristen McEntire introduced herself as the regional public health nurse serving Norwood and six other towns; the board also appointed Katie Reisdorf as an agent and welcomed her as the regional epidemiologist.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6098028,"Norwood Board of Health upholds $100 fine for Quick Stop owner over missing posted license",353,208000,561000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2825663-1d05d4c49dd832efe1f70eae2bc52dcd&start=208&end=561","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2825663-1d05d4c49dd832efe1f70eae2bc52dcd/thumbnail_208000.jpg","/articles/6098028/Town-of-Norwood/Norfolk-County/Massachusetts/Norwood-Board-of-Health-upholds-100-fine-for-Quick-Stop-owner-over-missing-posted-license","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6098028-dffbf4895fd57185c6058cca4d073e86/orig.mp4?Expires=1771175489&Signature=GUdTN99Sx4H58caqNaSZXC8toFz8~NghVZRifWVWCut2iErPr3I8dSJECjk69vD9MfGrl6RwF81eF1Edhmq4BLutTVMVgVITmm4BgJFRrMsoQa8UGlPqV~~agBAa5tWylqcHmOD7CmVSEOzjp4UlcyGZTxyY3L30DZKRmo6-Wnu4-qZJxoaLGlX8qAXZ6K2xt0z5LdVZS~I5ATJ3ziDWIicpKx3F3uvsJwcNjVfEVYuOOgqc-64KufZn6sHbX8VNv4fKb5geZ1JKuiA8lEV4SXeEoEriMA7wqAOJLyHoBFhIvhGr-JIHkJnmM1MlvTgKAXY67RZFBCtrUMKAluYOZw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Norwood Board of Health voted to retain a $100 fine against Suresh Incorporated (doing business as Quick Stop Market) after repeated failures to post its food-service license.

Board members said the establishment had been cited multiple times since 2022 for not posting its permit and had received education on the requirement; the board kept the fine after members discussed past courtesy warnings. Board members also said staff can print and post the permit if the business cannot access a printer.

Barathil, who identified himself as the owner of the Quick Stop Market, told the board the business had switched to digital licensing and that they currently do not have a printer. “I don't have a printer. We are a small business,” he said. The owner said he showed inspectors the license digitally on the second inspection and said he had posted mailed copies in prior years before the licensing process moved online.

A board member noted the problem was recurring. Records cited by staff showed the permit was not posted on April 20, 2022, and March 28, 2023, and again during the most recent inspection. The board's enforcement discussion emphasized that inspectors had previously provided education and that this was the third documented instance since 2022.

The board told the owner to ensure someone posts the January 1 permit when it is issued and reiterated staff assistance with printing if necessary.

Votes at a glance: Retain $100 fine for failure to post license — motion to retain the fine was made and the board recorded an affirmative vote (“Aye”) and the board chair announced the fine would stand.

Ending: The owner acknowledged the board's decision and said he would take steps to prevent a future lapse.","Board retained a $100 fine for Suresh Incorporated (doing business as Quick Stop Market) after finding a repeated failure to post a food-service license; owner said digital licensing and lack of a printer led to the lapse and board offered printing assistance.","actionData","errors"]
