Three honored at Tuesday’s Halifax meeting

January 11, 2018 By Deborah Anderson, Express Staff

Halifax selectmen agreed Tuesday night that the best part of their job is to help recognize outstanding work by Halifax residents.

John and Patrick McCarthy, twin Eagle Scouts, were each awarded certificates by the selectmen for their projects in service to the town.  John helped build a shed for the Halifax Historical Society to house an antique horse-drawn carriage at the town’s blacksmith shop on South Street.  His brother Patrick refurbished trails and water crossings on the Striar Conservancy off Thompson Street.

While Halifax has one of the smallest Boy Scout groups in the country, it has one of the highest percentages of scouts who go all the way to earn the designation of Eagle Scout, selectman Kim Roy told the group.

And the accolades didn’t stop there.  David Walsh, commander of Halifax Post 6258, and David Warmsley, quartermaster, came before selectmen to present their nomination for Law Enforcement Officer of the Year, Police Chief Edward “Ted” Broderick, in a competition sponsored by the VFW.  “It’s quite something for him to be nominated,” Walsh told selectmen. “We consider him an outstanding first responder of our community.  Chief Broderick has served the town with the utmost compassion and professionalism, throughout his career.”

Broderick began his career as a police officer in Plympton, then went to Halifax to work as a police officer, and earned his way up through the ranks, eventually becoming Halifax Police Chief.

“He has been a friend of the veterans for years,” Walsh told selectmen, “and has assisted whenever needed … he was chosen on the basis of what he has done for our community,” Walsh said.   “As a first responder, he has been fantastic.  He has served our community well.”

Broderick’s nomination now proceeds to Boston where it will compete against others at the state level. If lucky enough to win there, the competition continues nationally.

In other business, selectmen signed a contract with Winslow Architects to commence work on the Pope’s Tavern Senior Center.

Selectmen received notice that 280 South St., a Chapter 61A parcel, will be put up for sale.  As part of the agreement for so-called “Chapter Land”, the town has first refusal on the sale of the property.  After a considering the parcel, selectmen agreed that they would “pass” on the offer.  They did not think that the parcel would benefit the town of Halifax.

Joseph Murray, of Gen II, asked selectmen to consider his application for a Common Victualler’s License for the new Dunkin Donuts, a restaurant in the early stages of construction on Route 106, next to the 7-11 (formerly Tedeschi’s), which will seat 20, as well as have room for the usual take-out trade.

Murray brought architect’s renderings of the proposed building, a single story construction with about 1500 square feet for the Dunkin Donuts operation, leaving room for possibly two tenants in the back.

He said he also owns franchises in Bridgewater and Middleboro, among others.

Selectman Troy Garron asked when they expected to complete construction, Murray answered “By May 1,” and invited selectmen to attend the ribbon cutting.

Selectmen considered the list of show dates for Fieldstone Farm, noting that they would advise the owner he cannot use the Gazebo built on the property as it was built without being signed off on by an architect.

Selectmen affirmed an agreement with the Lakeville Animal Shelter to house dogs for Halifax.

Town Administrator Charlie Seelig advised selectmen that the Division of Fisheries and Wildlife has asked Halifax to purchase some 10 acres of land near the back of Burgess Pond, or purchase the conservation restriction.

The third option, Seelig told selectmen, was to purchase the entire parcel for $250,000.  He advised a public forum to discuss and explain the proposal in detail to the town to get a sense of what the town wants before bringing it to Town Meeting for a vote.

Selectmen will consider the plan to construct a large solar array on the proposed marijuana grow property, which will cover 200+ acres.  Seelig suggested another informational meeting to make the public aware – perhaps sometime in February.

Miniature Halifax model train village has new constructor

December 28, 2017 By Deborah Anderson, Express Staff

Over the past two decades, a magical snowy village has grown, changed, and morphed into the beautiful community in a train layout on display in the Great Room on the second floor of the Halifax Town Hall.

Town Administrator Charlie Seelig remembers when he first began his job in Halifax in 1997, he thought of a train setup as something for little kids to enjoy  – and geared the guage to be eye-level with a 3 or 4 year-old.  The train is  “G” gauge, or garden gauge, bigger than the usual livingroom sets.  “It began with a single loop of railroad track and a single building so the train would have someplace to go,” Seelig recalls.  “Every year, to a large extent, we’ve kept adding to it… To see the look on that 3 or 4 year old’s face as they see the magic of it, makes all the effort worth it.”

Over the years Seelig has had a lot of help with the project, which is set up each December as a focal point in the Halifax Holidays in Lights celebration.  “I’ve been very lucky,” he said.

John Nolan, son of the town’s accountant, with Guy Bosworth, both friends and classmates at Silver Lake, took over setting up the village, and helped out for many years, through high school, college, and beyond. 

Last year Nolan “retired” from the position, giving it over to another helpful model train enthusiast Griffin Kelly, 13, a student at Silver Lake Middle School.  Griffin, with help from his dad Bill, has set up the village and its train last year and this year, and hopefully for many years to come.

36 dogs and pups killed in NH fires

December 21, 2017 By Deborah Anderson, Express Staff

Trouble has followed Tarawood Kennels from Halifax to New Hampshire where three dozen dogs and puppies have died in two separate fires in the past three weeks in Bristol, NH.

The first fire at the facility on Nov. 22, property that had been owned by Bobbie Choate’s step-father, Oley Firth, killed two adult dogs and five puppies.  The fire appears to have been caused by a heat lamp that had been knocked over. Although the cause is listed as “still under investigation”.

The alarm was called in at 4:28 a.m.  Bristol FD arrived on scene eight minutes later at 4:36 a.m.    Initial observation of the 90 Chestnut St. property  showed the fire spreading outside the building to the second floor.

The homeowner was located removing a dog from the walkout basement.  She told firefighters that she was the only one at the residence and she was fine.

The last unit cleared the scene almost five hours later at 9:35 a.m.  According to the report, the fire originated in a common room or den of the 1 ½ story cottage.  The cause of the fire remains undetermined and is under investigation.  Loss due to the Nov. 22 fire is estimated to be $165,000.

The latest fire on Wednesday, Dec. 13, burned an outbuilding on the property, killing 3 adult dogs and 26 puppies.  The nine dogs housed in the burned cottage survived.

The alarm came in at 7:45 a.m. Dec. 13, with Bristol FD on the scene four minutes later at 7:49 a.m.  Firefighters had been alerted that there were dogs in the building and once the fire had been knocked down, two closed-top kennels were observed with an adult dog and puppies in each, and an open top kennel with multiple puppies but no adult.  The adult dog was later found under debris just inside the front door.

Bristol police were notified and obtained warrants.

New Hampshire’s Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals took the surviving dogs into their care, and two SPCA workers took custody of the bodies of the deceased dogs and puppies.

The surviving dogs remain in the care of the SPCA according to communications liaison Sheila Ryan.

It remains to be seen when and whether they will be returned to Choate, who also is known by the name Bobbie Harmon.  The property ownership is listed to Bobbie Harlfinger on Bristol, NH, real estate records.

The process determining the fate of the dogs, according to Ryan, could be lengthy, with an expedited hearing expected to review the case and determine if the animals should be returned to Choate or placed for adoption.  Then Choate would have the right to appeal. “It could be months,” Ryan said.

Choate and her Tarawood Kennels on Plymouth St., Halifax, near the Plympton town line, were the subject of much concern.  As her operation grew, and the number of dogs her permit allowed was increased, Halifax neighbors complained, citing the increased noise level of dogs continually barking at all hours. Choate, also known as Jennifer Harmon, had applied to the Halifax Zoning Board of Appeals to increase the number of dogs at her kennel to 100 with unlimited litters of puppies.  That application was later withdrawn.

Halifax selectman Kim Roy made several trips to the Tarawood Kennels property to record the noise from the dogs and replayed it at one of several hearings.  That, in addition to other evidence presented, caused selectmen to vote to limit the number of dogs allowed at the property to 25, and permit only six litters of puppies per year.

Choate was not happy with the decision and expressed her displeasure at the hearing.

At a subsequent July 25 hearing to answer a dog bite incident at the kennel, Choate told selectmen that the Halifax property had been sold and the kennel operation would shut down August 10.  Choate told selectmen she was moving her kennel operations to New Hampshire after closing Halifax.  At that time she told selectmen she was also moving a 30-horse facility to New Hampshire.

New Hampshire, according to SPCA representative Ryan, doesn’t require a breeder’s license for operations that produce less than 50 puppies per year.  She also said that the SPCA is encouraging legislation that would put stronger regulations in place to protect the animals.

Marijuana grow facility proposed proposed

November 30, 2017 By Deborah Anderson, Express Staff

Express correspondent

Halifax townspeople were introduced Tuesday night to the 4 Daughters Compassionate Care  marijuana grow facility proposed for Halifax.

After the Board of Selectmen met Tuesday, Nov. 28 for various housekeeping tasks, the meeting re-assembled upstairs for a presentation regarding a potential marijuana greenhouse facility to be located on the border of Halifax and Middleborough.

Brian Striar, CEO of 4 Daughters Compassionate Care, the company proposing the project, explained that the land where they wish to put the facility would be on the southern border of Halifax near River, Thompson, and Wood streets.

The greenhouses would serve completely as a place to grow the marijuana, where no selling or dispensing would take place. The facility would contain 24/7 video surveillance, along with a 10-foot fence surrounding. All entrances would require an ID to pass through as well.

The greenhouses would contain metal sheets which would cover up over 10 feet of the sides, with tinted glass at the tops, preventing anyone driving by from knowing the type of plants growing inside. There would also be brush blocking view of the greenhouses from the street.

The company has already begun a similar project in Sharon and have experimented in Colorado. 4 Daughters Compassionate Care has also conducted research among universities on the uses, and efficient growing techniques of marijuana plants. Striar is predicting 40,000 square feet of plants to start which would produce 12,000 pounds of marijuana, 3% of revenue would return to the town, estimating about $660,000 profit for the town. Striar says this amount is only for stage one of this process, and if successful, could skyrocket to a couple million of dollars for the town in later phases of the project.

Along with helping the community with tax cuts, the facility could also provide 20 to 50 job opportunities for members of the town.  4 Sisters Compassionate Care is interested in hiring as many citizens of Halifax as possible.

The project was brought up for discussion among the citizens attending the meeting. one concerned citizen asked, “Will trucks be going through the center of our town, and if so, are the vehicles neutral so no one knows they contain marijuana?”

The question was quickly answered by stating the trucks are encouraged to use route 105 to route 44 to avoid any of these concerns. Next, a question regarding the change in property value for homes near the facility came forth. It was explained that the homes are a quarter of a mile away from the facility, making it not a threat to property value.

The next item of concern – the odor – was brought forth by a member of the community. It was stated that the odor was tested by blowing fans from the greenhouses to one area. After a quarter mile, the smell was no longer apparent. The closest home is within a quarter mile of the potential facility. Also, by adding vents at the tops of the greenhouses, the smell would be released higher, making the distance for the odor to travel smaller and not noticeable. 

The opinions of the members of the board all seemed to favor of the facility, although none of the members had previously voted in favor of Question 4, which legalized marijuana in the state of Massachusetts. Board member Kim Roy stated, “The facility should be considered by the town since the income could offset tax bills.”

Troy Garron, Clerk, stated, “If it were a dispensary, forget it. But since it is not, it could professionally solve concerns of high taxes.” It was followed up by Thomas Millias, Chairman, who stated it was a great idea since one small facility could equal the profit of about six Walmarts within the town.

After the small concerns of the community were addressed by 4 Sisters Compassionate Care, it was unanimously agreed as a good potential plan for revenue for the town of Halifax.

The next Selectmen’s meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, Dec. 12.

Town Meeting passes all five articles

November 23, 2017 By Deborah Anderson, Express Staff

Jessica Zeoli

Express correspondent

The Town of Halifax met Monday, Nov. 20, at the Halifax Elementary School for a Special Town Meeting to discuss and vote on five articles.  As is the custom in Halifax, the articles were chosen for action in random order

The first article to be heard was Article 5 which in part reads: “To see if the Town will vote to amend Chapter 236, Section 3 (Registration and Maintenance of Foreclosed Properties from the following: 9. ‘Owner’ means every person, entity, service company, property manager, or real estate broker who alone or severally with others has legal or equitable title to any property or has care, charge or control of any property in any capacity …”  stated that foreclosed homes and their surrounding property are required to be maintained by banks or other financial institutions that hold the mortgage deed. The Attorney General’s office had recommended revisions of the description in the by-law in terms of who is the “owner” of the property. The town unanymously approved this change.

Next was Article 4, which stated a change in language of a law previously passed regarding the treasurer providing a list of delinquent taxpayers. The change of language would be the frequency the treasurer is required to provide that list, which was approved by the public to be a yearly list, and with the change in language may additionally be produced whenever the information was required by the town. 

The next article voted was Article 3, regarding the Elderbus Revolving Fund. Previously, there was question whether donations were allowed to be transferred into this fund. Charlie Seelig, Town Administrator, stated “Donations are considered receipts. All receipts are in this fund, therefore the fund may receive these donations.” The crowd all chanted “yes” together which quickly approved this article.

Next, Article 1 was brought forth to be voted. Article 1 states that the money used from the town’s stabilization fund temporarily for the creation of a new playground through HOPS, Halifax Open Play Space, must be replaced after efficient fundraising and grants from the state have been received. The playground has disintegrated, causing a potential threat to children utilizing it. As a result of replacing the money from the stabilization fund, no funding from the town will be applied to the project. The public quickly approved this article following the Board of Selectmen’s expression of gratitude to the members of HOPS for all they have done to help the children of Halifax. This approval acted as the final step to begin this project.

The last article brought before the town was Article 2, which was voting to accept the State statute which gives permission for certain businesses to sell alcohol starting at 10 a.m. on Sundays, the last Monday in May, Christmas Day or the day folowing when Christmas occurs on Sunday. The town voted unanimously to accept the state statute. Currently establishments selling liquor in Halifax open at noon.

New Full time Fire Dept. Members sworn

November 16, 2017 By Deborah Anderson, Express Staff

Jessica Zeoli

Express correspondent

The board of selectmen met Tuesday, Nov. 14, beginning with the swearing in and pinning of new members of the Halifax Fire Department. Derek Coveney, Steven Enright, Richard Ferguson, Peter Hogan, and Dillon Riley were all recognized as full time members. Robert Beary, Reid Broderick, Kevin Heath, Evan McSherry, and Keith Pontes were recognized as call department members.

The meeting reassembled with members of HOPs to bring forth the idea of designated parking spots for library patrons at the public library. Currently, the lot is used for the park, library, and acts as an alternate lot for the fields behind the school. It was noted that the lot is being filled up before the opening hours of the library most Saturdays due to town sporting events on the weekends.

The board addressed issues of turf wars over the spots and that there is nothing set up to enforce those parking spaces. “Perhaps more spots within that lot could lower the issue or even a sign indicating another lot to use if full”, stated Selectman Troy Garron. The board was unable to come to a decision due to the potential plans of HOPS adding a walkway and benches in that area.

The finalization of an Eagle Scout’s project was announced, stating that two plastic benches to mimic wood are planning on being created for the Town of Halifax to enjoy.

The idea of a truck exclusion from Pine Street was considered by the board. The problem is that heavier trucks have been using Pine Street to cut off the intersection between routes 106 and 105, causing the bridge on Pine Street to begin to crumble due to the excessive weight. Residents of Thompson and Pine streets appeared before the board to explain their thoughts regarding this idea of the truck exclusion. The majority ruled it a bad idea since traffic would switch back to the intersection between route 105 and 106, creating traffic blocks and difficulty at the intersection. The board agreed to give the town surveyor their concerns and ideas of signs warning drivers of a weight limit, which will be addressed in the agenda on Dec. 12.

Members of Hudson Street also met before the board to state their concerns over the lack of speed limit signs in their area. Multiple families presented the fears and limitations they face due to speeding vehicles passing by each day. The suggestion of two “Thickly settled” or “30 mph” signs were brought forth by residents of Hudson Street which was quickly approved by the members of the board. Other notes regarding a “School bus stop” sign to be placed on the curve of Hudson Street and other concerns will be brought up to the Safety Department.

Thoughts regarding an emergency exit for the Town Hall were discussed, but no decision was made.

There will be a special town meeting on Nov. 20 regarding funding for HOPS.

The meeting ended with selectmen discussing the donation of vehicles from Davis Automotive to the Fire Department where they are used for the Jaws of Life training required for all members.

The next Selectmen’s Meeting will take place on Monday, Nov. 20.

Silver Lake “Get Pied” fundraiser benefits Breast Cancer research

November 9, 2017 By Deborah Anderson, Express Staff

Last week Silver Lake students and staff continued raising funds for Breast Cancer.

The Key Club held its first annual “Pie Your Teacher in the Face” during the lunch block on Friday. Four staff members: math teacher Dan Coreia, social studies teacher Anthony Weber, assistant principal Steve Blette, and athletic director Martha Jameison, were selected based on fundraising by students.

Guidance counselors Andrea Cranshaw and Tracy Ryan entertained the lunch crowd in pink dinosaur costumes. Four students winning a raffle received the honor of being the pie throwers.

To raise even more funds, during the lunch block, Key Club Advisors Sarah Stefaniak (Math Teacher) and Jennifer Strid (School Psychologist) volunteered to get “pied” if they could raise an additional $25 during each of the four lunch waves. They had no problem reaching that goal!
