SALEM – A waterfront restaurant in Salem is doing its part to help a Norwood boy after the health department shut down his ice cream stand fundraiser.

Twelve-year-old Dan Doherty was selling homemade ice cream to raise money for his brother's hockey team, the Boston Bear Cubs. The program caters to athletes with special needs. Someone reported his operation to the health department, and they sent him a letter shutting him down.

"I don't understand it. There are so many lemonade stands out there, and they don't get shut down," Dan Doherty said, "It's really disappointing it got shut down."
