Norton Police Department has released the photo of one of the suspects involved with the vandalism at Everett Leonard Park late October. The suspects littered the property with beer cans, then kicked in the wood window into the office. According to Norton Parks and Recreation chairwoman Sheri Cohen, they proceeded to go through everything in the office and use the fire extinguisher, which then then stole. The suspects also stole a lifeguard rescue tube for the pool and stole a new grill from the shed. While the vandals put tape over a security camera, one was caught on another. Police have been trying to identify the subject. Receive updates to this story and other breaking news in your inbox or smartphone by signing up for our newsletter …

CJ Weber hopes to earn highest Scout rank and for park vandals to be caught.
Once again, an Eagle Scout candidate in Norton has shown that he will fulfill his oath of influencing citizens in his troop and community to follow in his footsteps of goodwill. Currently a Life Scout, 17-year-old CJ Weber recently installed a flag pole and garden at Everett Leonard Park. Bill Seaver provided the electrical work so the flag could be illuminated at night. “I chose this for my project because I figured I would be able to visit it and it will be around for years,” Weber said. He invested almost $1,000 and 130 hours on the project. Over 30 of those hours were spent on planning and gathering materials alone. Donations were gathered from family and friends to defray the cost. Let Patch save you time. Get great local stories …

Suspects caught on DVD.
Police are investigating the vandalization of Everett Leonard Park after members of Norton Parks and Recreation found the property in disarray last week. Though for the most part people respect the park, it was vandalized in the past. As a result, Norton Parks and Recreation installed new cameras a few months ago to keep an eye on the new basketball hoops. Though the suspects put tape over the camera in the pavillion, they were caught on another one. Norton Police Department is in the process of reviewing the DVD to see if any of the suspects can be identified. “I am really hopeful that we can find out who did this, and if it is a bunch of kids thinking it was something fun to do, that I can show them how their actions have affected others…

Everett Leonard Park public pool in Norton is said by Norton Parks and Recreation chairperson to be safe.
Many public pools are under careful scrutiny lately, due to the drowning of Marie Joseph at Veteran’s Memorial Pool in Fall River Tuesday. Joseph’s body wasn’t discovered until more than two days later, despite her 9-year-old son reporting her missing and the pool still being used by the public. Norton Parks and Recreation chairperson Sheri Cohen said that local residents do not need to worry about a similar incident happening at the Everett Leonard Park public pool. “The pool is clear,” she said. “Any time it’s cloudy, we have to shut it down.” The murkiness of the Fall River pool was said to have been one factor on why Joseph’s body was not found right away. Cohen said that a pool technician comes by several times a week to look at …

Passionate volunteer brings impressive results.
When Sheri Cohen puts her mind to something, big things generally happen. Maybe that's because of the passion she brings to everything she does, whether it's her life as a mother and wife or her community service, as chairwoman of a pair of key town boards. Cohen has led the Parks and Recreation Commission through what many believe is its most successful period and is now taking on the role of chairwoman of Pride of Norton High School, a parent organization responsible for the high school renovations. "I only get involved with things I feel strongly about," said Cohen, 41, who also works as a sales consultant at Gibson Sotheby's. When Cohen attended her first Parks and Recreation Commission meeting less than four years ago, only three of …
