Your Views: Letters welcome

Candace Leary, in her July 11 column, states: “Many…have begun to accept that a new Norwood High School will be built behind the present stately structure and that the beautiful old building that is an important symbol in so many lives will eventually be reduced to rubble. Nothing can change that now. The train has left the station.”

The Dedham High School Girls Soccer Team recently held their annual golf tournament and the event was a huge success.

On behalf of all the parents of this season’s Dedham Dodgers baseball team, I would like to thank coaches John Bethoney and Mike Greenwood, and offer a special thanks to head coach Steve Clifford.

Contrary to reports that demolishing Norwood High School is a so-called done deal, it should be noted there is not a done deal at this time, nor can there be one without the approval of Norwood voters.

The Transcript published a letter (Wednesday, July 2) expressing disappointment in the results of the recent special election. Dedham rejected a proposed senior center by a 55 to 45 percent margin. A few statistics provide valuable insights.

The Daily News Transcript recently reported that the Norwood School Committee and the Board of Selectmen will meet to fill the School Committee vacancy left by the resignation of Chris Morrison.

On behalf of the American Cancer Society Relay For Life of Needham, Dedham, and Wellesley, I would like to thank local residents for their generosity and support.

To the voters or non-voters in Dedham: I was most disappointed that the override failed. We, the senior citizens, have been lead down the path yet another time by lack of interest and, yes, selfishness.

The Norwood School Committee and the town of Norwood should work very hard to make certain that Norwood Public Access Television remains housed at the proposed new high school (“Local television's case for inclusion,” June 27).
