though the recommendeddiscipline or the third oc-currence is a 30 days sus-pension to revocation othe license.

Sgt. Michael Buckley,during a Nov. 1 sting op-eration, ound two other

businesses, the DedhamHilton and Wicked Pizzaat Legacy Place, out o 43

visited were serving alco-hol to minors. It was thesecond violation or both

businesses.Both businesses had its

licenses were suspend-ed or seven days, our o

which will be served Jan.15 through Jan. 18, andthree o which must oc-cur within two years. Thesentences were light-er than the recommend-ed discipline or a sec-ond inraction, 10-21 dayssuspension.

In both cases the estab-lishments took measuresto prevent repeat occur-rences, such as carding allpatrons, and the employ-ees who committed the vi-olations were terminated,according to Wicked Fire

Kissed Pizza attorney Pe-ter Zahka and Hilton at-torney Dennis Gannon.

New to the forceSelectmen also sworn in

three new police of cersat its meeting.

Dedham High gradu-ates Samantha Colarus-so, Michael Feely, Jr.and Jason Sullivan have

been on the job or aboutthree weeks, but weremade of cial at the Jan. 3initiation.

Attending amily mem-bers including Colarussosgrandmother, Sullivansfianc, and Feeley Sr., aDedham Police Sergeant.

Cularusso, whose broth-er Michael Paige is aDedham firefighter, ma-

jored in Criminal Justice

at Curry College, beoreworking with the Depart-ment o Corrections atPondville, a minimum se-curity prison in Norolk,and as a summer of cer inNantucket.

Feeley, Jr. studied man-agement at Boston Col-lege and worked in medi-cal sales. Sullivan receiveda masters degree in ed-ucation rom FitchburgState University andtaught or five years.

On the roadThe new of cers and

selectmen likely hada smooth ride home:

Dedhams roads are aboveaverage or the common-

wealth, and road re-pair costs will come in$74,000 under budget

or iscal 2012, accordingto the Pavement Manage-ment Report presente

by Town Engineer JasonMammone and Depar-ment o Public Works di-rector Joe Flanagan.

In 2012, almost 23,000linear eet o roads wereredone, and over 7,000linear eet o roads re-ceived preventative main-tenance. As a result, Ded-ham scored an 82 on thepavement condition in-dex, up rom a 70 six yearsago. Most towns aim to

achieve a 78 to 82 rating.Because maintenance ischeaper than repair, thehigher rating equals sav-ings or the Dedham,Mammone noted.

The report also project-ed that i Dedham contin-ues to receive equivalentunding rom Chapter 90,a state program that re-imburses roadwork, roads

will only need $525,000rom the town o Ded-ham, down rom $1.5million.

Sarah MacDonald cau-

tioned, however, thatChapter 90 unding mabe slashed in the upcom-ing year.
