Concerned about protect-ing wildlife near a proposed housing development on Mon-roe Street, Conservation Com-mission members said Monday night they would consider ap-plying for Community Preser-vation Act funding to purchase a portion of the property.

Voters could see a Town Meeting article as early as this fall related to the purchase if the commission can put to-gether an application and re-ceive Community Preserva-tion Committee approval by the deadline.

The fall special Town Meeting is typically when res-idents vote on CPA projects, with funding available in three categories: open space/recre-ation, affordable housing and

historical building projects.The topic came up at the

Conservation Commission’s public hearing on the Kallio Path project Monday night. Developer Bob Gosselin is seeking approval for a cul-de-sac road off Monroe Street, just south of Felicia Terrace, with plans to sell up to 10 sin-gle-family house lots around it. The property abuts the town-owned Tubbs Meadow Preserve and contains an out-of-service cranberry bog.

The commission’s envi-ronmental consultants have reported the presence of at least one certifiable vernal pool (part-time wetland habi-tat) on the property, though neighbors have suggested there may be more.

It’s been nine years since she graduated from high school, but Pembroke na-tive Stacy Padula remembers clearly what it felt like to be a teenager.

“It was such a war zone,” she said of high school. “You’d have somebody say something about you and you’d be like, ‘I don’t even know where they got that.’ […] Between the rumors, the gossip, the fake friendships and the drugs … it was definitely a war zone.”

A 2001 graduate of Silver Lake Regional High School, Padula has good memories, too, and is still best friends with people she went to school with. But she also believes kids may not get an honest pic-ture of what high school is like before they get there.

“I grew up reading a lot of books and it kind of painted a picture in my mind of what high school was going to be like, and then I stepped into it and it wasn’t anything like

A visit with CJ and NickBy Mike tropeano, express contriButor

The performing arts program at Pem-broke High School

has produced many award-winning musicians over the past few years. Two recent graduates, CJ Gallopo and Nick DiPrizio, have expanded on this rapidly growing tradi-tion in becoming a popular acoustic duet. Mixing covers of new and old classics with some homegrown tunes, the two have played to packed houses in many different ven-ues. This fall, the pair will take a hiatus from performing as CJ attends the University of Pennsylvania and Nick studies locally at Suffolk University.

When did you begin per-forming? Nick: I think it was in fifth grade. I took lessons for three years and have been playing on my own for the past few.

CJ: I started singing and playing at the same time. The music appreciation class at the high school opened my eyes to it. It wasn’t until sophomore year when I did it officially. When we got together to per-form is when I picked up the guitar so I could play backup for Nick. I kept at it and played a lot in my room. Nick showed me a couple of things; I guess I was ‘Nick taught.’

How did CJ and Nick get its start? Nick: We were in the music appreciation class together and had guitar days twice a week. We sat together during those times; I played and CJ sang. CJ lives down the street from me, and we just got together all the time.

It was through the school that we started playing out in front of audiences. We played in the audition shows put on by the school. The first time was our sophomore year when we played in the solo/ensemble concert in the fall.

CJ: Our first bona fide show was May of our junior year. We played at the All Asia bar in Cambridge. We had ter-rible times like 4 p.m. on a Sunday, but we packed it with our friends and had a blast. After that, we had a heavy

show schedule. We always play Blakeman’s on Duxbury Beach, which is owned by Dana Batista, a teacher at the high school. We went from not playing out to playing out all the time. It was really cool.

Nick: Once we got the ball rolling last summer, we played a bunch of other local events — the Pembroke Arts Festi-val, an arts festival at the high school and the Oysterfest at Blakeman’s.

What is your most mem-orable performance? CJ: The benefit show for Matt McClune was probably our biggest audi-ence; it was about 300 people. We raised about $4,100, which was great. I would say our most memorable was our re-cent farewell show. It was in my backyard.

Nick: We had planned about nine songs. It was our own thing. We were not wor-ried about sound.

CJ: It was really relaxed. It was a good way to give back to everyone who came to see us play. We did about nine en-cores.

Now that you are go-ing to different colleges, are there any plans to continue doing this? CJ: We are doing the final weekend at Blake-man’s before we go to school. We will be there the nights of Aug. 27-29.

Nick: We have been friends since the third grade at Hobo-mock, so I would think we

will keep playing together. We probably won’t have the same amount of shows, but it will be nice to get back to Blakeman’s or some of the other shows when we are home for vaca-tions or for the summer.

How much original work have you done? What are the songs about? CJ: We have probably done about 25 songs; we end up not liking some and just get rid of them.

Nick: We have about six that we really like and have released. CJ does most of the writing. It is mostly his cre-ativity.

CJ: It really isn’t inspired by anything. It really comes in a flash. The person listening is who comes up with the mean-ing, which can be different to each person.

Nick: What I really like and think is cool is when a song can have different mean-ings to each person. We have songs where it is different for CJ and me.

What is the song writing process like? CJ: I just play a melody on the guitar and make up lyrics. When I show Nick the song, he will play a riff over it and make it more dynamic playing something over it.

Nick: He values my opin-ion when we review the song. It is a two-part process. The base is his lyrics, and I will add some lyrics, harmonica solos or something else.

Several Pembroke students recently participated in South

Shore Conservatory’s 2010 Summer Music Festival. Un-der the leadership of Music Director Malcolm Rowell, Program Directer Ed Sorren-tino and guest instructors and conductors, students from the South Shore and beyond were part of a program with a dual goal: playing music for the joy of playing while also learning and perfecting technical skills.

“The culture of Summer Music Festival is not typical of a summer day program,” Sorrentino said. “It is about encouraging the complete stu-dent. We work extensively on technical skills, but we also focus on playing what is emo-tionally pleasing. It’s all about playing from the heart. We know our approach resonates with the kids because we see it every day in their commitment to the music and in the camara-

derie of being with like-mind-ed student musicians.”

Pembroke students who participated in the 2010 two-week program include Soumya Karra, Corey Kilgarriff, Charles Meyer, Dan Sullivan and Jake Sullivan.

The Conservatory’s Sum-mer Music Festival allows woodwind, brass and percus-sion students to participate in

up to three ensembles (by age and ability) as well as master classes. The program focuses on group rehearsals and mu-sicianship workshops that expose students to improvisa-tion, composition and creative movement while allowing them to enhance their listening skills, technical abilities and overall musical knowledge.

For more information about the South Shore Conservatory, call the Hingham campus at 781-749-7565 or the Duxbury campus at 781-934-2731 or visit sscmusic.org.


The Pembroke Bees have been as busy as ever.

The Council on Aging-based quilting group recently completed a colorful quilt to be raffled off for the Friends of the Council on Aging.

Entitled “Houses Galore,” the quilt features different types of houses, including a log cabin, birdhouse, grass hut, Asian-style home and church, as well as a specially made square featuring the Council on Aging building in the cen-ter of the design. Most of the squares were picked up al-ready sewn at a yard sale, and the Bees teamed up to stitch them all together.

Raffle tickets cost $2 each or three for $5 and are avail-able from Bees members or at the senior center. The winning ticket will be drawn at the COA craft fair on Saturday, Oct. 23 at the senior center. The event and the raffle are the Friends’ major fundraiser for the year and will help them fund events

and activities at the senior cen-ter.

The Bees meet every week to work on various individual

and group quilting projects. For more information, call the senior center at 781-294-8220.

POLICE & COURT BRIEFS

Police: Woman left without paying for $570 in groceries

A Marshfield woman was arrested Saturday after she allegedly faked swiping her debit card for about $570 worth of groceries.

A loss prevention employee at Pembroke Stop and Shop told police a female customer had used the self-scanner as she walked through the store but when she went to pay for a cart full of groceries, only $14 worth of items had been scanned (the actual value later was determined to be $570.82). The employee then reportedly observed the woman pretend to scan her debit card and punch in her PIN, then leave without really paying. The woman, Sherri Bohin, 48, of Hartford Road, Marshfield, was escorted back into the store to wait for police.

Bohin was arrested and charged with larceny over $250. She was later released on personal re-cognizance and arraigned Monday in Plymouth District Court, where she pled not guilty. She is due back for a pretrial hearing on Oct. 5.

Copper piping removed from vacant home

Police were called to a vacant home on Mill Pond Road Monday afternoon on the re-port that someone had broken in and removed all the copper piping in the house. Pembroke Police Lt. Mike Jenness said the individual en-tered by kicking in the front door and then cut into the baseboards, cupboards and elsewhere in the two-story home to remove copper piping, probably for its resale value. Jenness said inci-dents similar to this have been occurring across the South Shore ever since the price of copper increased. Police are investigating.

Local man arrested for 2008 break-in

A Pembroke man accused of breaking into a Plympton home in March 2008 was arrested last week on a default warrant after failing to appear in court when summonsed.

Todd R. Robinson, 32, of Mattakeesett Street was being held on $500 cash bail early this week after Halifax Police arrested him on Friday, Aug. 13. He faces one charge of felony breaking and entering of a home.

The charge stems from a March 2008 inci-dent in which residents of a Grove Street, Pl-ympton home called police after discovering someone had broken into their home and sto-len a television, several pieces of jewelry and cash. The individual appeared to have entered through an unlocked kitchen window and left through the basement door, which had been kept locked, according to reports. Among the items taken were $630 in cash, a 61-inch Sam-sung TV and diamond and sapphire rings.

In November 2009, officers with the Plym-outh County Sheriff’s Department reported that fingerprints taken at the scene matched those of Robinson. Robinson was summonsed on the charge and due to appear in court on Jan. 7, but he failed to appear, according to court docu-ments.

He is due back in Plymouth District Court on Aug. 25 for a pretrial hearing.

BENCH PALS: Ashley Rose Zechello (third from left) and friends Sadie Murphy, Hannah Dixon and Anna Delmonaco sit on the bench that was dedicated to Ashley’s mother, Fionna, on Saturday, Aug. 14. The bench is located at Birch Street Park, where Ashley and her mother came to play.

Memorial gift dedicated ————————

Family and friends of the late Fionna Zechello gathered

at Birch Street Park on Sat-urday morning to dedicate a bench in her memory. Fionna died after a severe asthma attack in Septem-ber, leaving husband Nick and daughter Ashley. On Saturday, Ashley and her dad arrived in a stretch limo and she cut the ribbon on the bench and plaque dedi-cated to her mother, located across the street from the Zechello home at the park where Fionna and Ashley spent many hours at play.

Hot Spot of the Week: The 21 Can off Minot’s Light — bass, blues, tuna.

Tip of the Week: Tube and worms for bass fish-ing has been hot. Try running a tube and worm on three to five colors of 45-pound lead core line at slow speeds.

Coastal Report: Tuna fishing has been red hot one day and ice cold the next. Most of the tuna are coming on live bait fished from kites and next best is live bait from a balloon fished at about 10 to 12 feet deep. During the week when the boat traffic is down and the waves are 1 to 3 feet, squid bars have been working. The hot colors are bars in all pink or root beer.

Guys fishing the Southwest Corner are doing OK on medium giants, but on weekends fishing is tough. Over at the Old Coast Guard Station on the backside of Provincetown, bass fishing is OK but the bite can be very short lived. Fish are mainly in the pot lines and will take dark jigs and umbrella rigs.

Tuna fishing at Peaked Hill Bar is still very slow, although there are large schools of bait — but no fish. Up at the Race at Provincetown, fishing from the Rip to the Bath House is good with some nice keeper bass and some 10-pound bluefish. Again, the bite doesn’t last long. Mostly black and purple or red jigs on wire work well.

Back across the bay at Plymouth and Duxbury Bay, water temperatures are warm and fish are very finicky. Best bet is flounder fishing in the Cordage Channel or at the Powder Point Bridge, and there are some schools of bass and blues also. The blues are the right size to save for tuna bait. Over at Brown’s Beach, fishing tube and worms in the early morning or after dusk is best (some nice keepers). Over at Duxbury Beach, flounder fishing is good. Sea worms are working well. There are some bass and bluefish at High Pines. Deep swimming plugs and umbrella rigs are the trick here.

Off the jetties at Green Harbor, fishing after dark with plugs or live bait has been okay. Some small keeper bass are being landed. Tube and worms are working at Bluefish Cove off the trailer park at Brant Rock. At the mouth of the North and South rivers, flounder are still plentiful.

Outside at Third and Fourth Cliffs, tube and worm fishing is your best bet to land a keeper bass. Umbrella rigs are also working, and there are bass from 35 to 37 inches along with some small blues. The same holds true for fishing off First and Second Cliffs.

Up at Minot’s Light, bass and blues have been feeding in the early morning. Also at the 21 Can, many nice size bass and large bluefish at 12 plus pounds can be found. It seems that the farther north you go the more bait and fish there are — also water temps are a little cooler. There are lots of school size tuna from Minot’s Light to the 21 Can.

A few weeks ago, I was read-ing after dinner and wishing I had some yarn on hand and

a project to go along with it. How does that old saying go — “Be careful what you wish for,” or words to that effect? The next day, I received some great news that a cousin’s son and his wife had delivered twins, a boy and a girl, born prematurely, but doing just fine. The day after that, I received the good news from a friend that her daughter and son-in-law had just given birth to their first child, a girl. Also, this same friend’s son and his wife announced that they are expecting their first child in the fall. After digesting all the good news, I ran right out to purchase several skeins of yarn in different colors. By then, I was overwhelmed by the thought that I had more than my share of projects to work on all at the same time — a baby afghan for each of the three newborns and one for the baby that is due in a few months. I am working madly and furiously to complete all four afghans before the babies grow up and become toddlers. Things usually work out, however, and I am happy and relieved to report that at the present moment I have two of the afghans almost completed and the other two already started. And now let’s see what’s going on around town.

that,” Padula said. “It’s not Baby-Sitters Club; it’s not Sweet Valley High. I just felt like kids really needed books that were realistic to kind of prepare them.”

Padula hopes to help fill that gap with a series of nov-els called “Montgomery Lake High.” The first in the series, “The Right Person,” was re-leased this month, published by Connecticut-based Elo-quent Books, part of Strategic Publishing Group.

Padula started writing the series when she was in high school and rediscovered the books after college.

“I read through them and I was shocked that at such a young age I knew what half the stuff I wrote about was,” she said. “I decided to edit them and write additional books to kind of connect them, to ex-plain how one got to the other, and added in bits of wisdom I picked up along the way.”

She sent out query letters to about 70 literary agencies, found one interested in repre-senting her and then shopped the book around to publishers.

“I started sending out the letters in January 2009 and got an offer by October 2009 from a publisher. I felt like it was forever, but evidently it can take a lot longer than that. I ended up signing with them in November,” Padula said.

She is currently working on the second book in the se-ries and said in total she has written five — though she doesn’t have plans to stop any-time soon.

“I just want to keep writ-ing. I want to know what hap-pens next, because I don’t know when I sit down what I’m going to write but I know my characters,” she said. “It’s like watching a movie. You can’t wait for the end.”

The first book tells the story of characters Chris Dunkin and Courtney Angeletti (later books center around other characters at the fictional school).

“Chris is realizing he’s kind of gotten in over his head with partying at a young age and it’s really affecting his life. One day, he meets this girl and he’s just drawn to her, he just sees a light about

her. Something’s different and he just wants to know what it is,” Padula said. “Courtney, the girl, had been raised as a Christian and she’s very strong in her faith and was able to not get pulled into what Chris and his friends are into. […] She’s dealing with getting pulled into high school and getting to know Chris’ friends and how all of a sudden she’s feel-ing like she doesn’t fit in and wanting to get accepted.”

Padula said the books do follow a spiritual theme — the author grew up attending St. Thecla Church in Pembroke and now attends New Hope Church in Norwell — but that it isn’t overwhelming.

“There’s a Christian mes-sage to it, but not like a rig-id, follow-the-law message — more like the law of liberty and love and pursuing a re-lationship with Christ as op-posed to following all these rules thinking that’s going to set you free,” she said.

Padula grew up in Pem-broke, moving to Kingston her sophomore year of high school. After graduating from Silver Lake, she attended Wentworth Institute of Technology in Boston where she studied ar-chitecture and interior design, temporarily putting her writing on hold. After college, Padula worked at an architecture firm for several years but felt some-thing was missing.

“I wanted to be doing something that helped. I want-ed to be more involved with people and doing something I felt was useful and utilizing more of my talents and gifts,” she said.

Padula got connected with JBG Tutors, a company

that helps kids work on cer-tain subjects and study for tests like the SAT and ACT. She recently was promoted to program director when the company expanded to JBG Educational Group, now do-ing career counseling and con-sulting as well as tutoring. She lives in Rockland and works mainly in the Metro West area of Boston, though the business is starting to expand.

“I love my job. I literally wake up every day and I can’t believe I get paid to do this,” Padula said. “It also leaves me time to write.”

Padula’s first book, “Montgomery Lake High #1: The Right Person,” is avail-able now on amazon.com and barnesandnoble.com. Even-tually, it will be available in whatever bookstores decide to order it through the distributor, Padula said.

She said she is open to the idea of doing book signings

or speaking to kids at school about her books.

A visit with Sam Lathropgo with my ‘Broadway roots’ and sing a musical theater piece called ‘Larger Than Life’ from ‘My Favorite Year.’ I guess it goes to show that you should always be yourself.

How will the winner be determined? On Saturday, Aug. 28, Plymouth Idol will be a part of the Downtown Plym-outh Waterfront Festival. The semifinals are from 12-2 p.m., where the judges will hear the 10 contestants sing and five will move on. Then the finals will be held from 2-4 p.m., where three contestants will move on to see who will win. I’ve heard that the judges’ de-cision has a lot to do with the audience, so I’m gonna need crowd support!

How do you decide what songs to sing in the competi-tion? What kind of songs do you like to sing best? I have to choose three songs for this competition. Since it’s on the waterfront, I’ll probably choose more upbeat songs to go along with the fun atmosphere. At the same time, I have to be com-fortable with my choices. I’m going to stick with the Groban and Bublé style — it’s proven to work in the past.

Where are the other final-ists from? It’s funny because I’m the only guy in the com-petition, and the only one from Pembroke. The other finalists are all from local towns. I know one of them who goes to Silver Lake Regional High School and is going to be a se-nior there this fall.

Was this the first year you participated in Plym-outh Idol? Actually, it is not. I tried out twice before, but I guess something just clicked

this time — I went with my gut instinct, after a lot of nag-ging from Mama Lathrop, my mom.

What does the winner of Plymouth Idol receive? What would it mean to you to be named winner? Well, the winner will receive 10 hours of professional studio

time at MDI and perform at two events, the America’s Hometown Thanksgiving Day Parade and a 2010 Brockton Rox Game on Sept. 1. It would mean so much to win — I have always wanted to record some songs professionally, so this is obviously a great opportu-nity — and the winner also re-ceives $500, which could help pay for college books.

What are your post-graduation plans? I will be attending Bridgewater State University with a major in mu-sic, as well as juggling three jobs, one of which includes teaching acting classes at Boss Academy in Hanson.

How did you first get into singing and performing? I have been performing since I was a little kid. It wasn’t un-til sixth grade, when I started attending Boss Academy of Performing Arts, that I be-came seriously interested in it as a career. They gave me the foundation and knowledge to succeed in this crazy business.

Sam Lathrop, a 2010 Pembroke High School graduate and stu-dent of Boss Academy of Performing Arts, will be singing for the title of Plymouth Idol on Saturday, Aug. 28 during the Downtown Plymouth Waterfront Festival. Lathrop recently was named one of the top 10 finalists in the annual competition. Courtesy photo

Helping a friend in needBy Becca Manning, express staff

[email protected]

When her good friend was diagnosed with aggressive cancer early this year, Cher-yl Grey knew she had to do something to help.

Grey has known Alysa Morrisette for about 30 years and grew up just down the street from Alysa’s husband Bill, in the same neighbor-hood where they all still live. It was Grey who introduced the couple, now married more than 20 years, and now it’s Grey — along with several other friends — who is work-ing to raise money to help the Morrisettes through a difficult time.

“I just decided I wanted to have a benefit for them,” Grey said. “They’re the greatest people. They’re the most giv-ing people on earth. Now it’s their turn to need.”

A benefit for Alysa and Bill (known as BJ by many) Morrisette will be held on Sat-urday, Aug. 28 from 7 p.m. to midnight at the Hanson AA, 171 Reed St., Hanson. The event will feature food, kara-oke and raffle items such as gift certificates to local restau-rants and hair, nail and tanning salons.

“It will be just a good time with friends and family,” Grey said.

Though she has posted fli-

ers around town, Grey said she has not sold as many tickets as she hoped and asks anyone in-terested in helping the cause to contact her.

Tickets cost $20 each and are available in advance by calling Grey or may be pur-chased at the door.

Diagnosed in February with an aggressive form of breast cancer, Alysa has been undergoing treatment locally. She and her husband have five children, the youngest of whom is 15, and have lived in

Pembroke for many years.Alysa worked in retail

before her diagnosis but has been unable to work recently, Grey said. Bill works for the Pembroke Housing Authority. Money raised from the event will help the Morrisettes with medical expenses and other needs.

“They’re just great peo-ple,” Grey said of her friends. “I think they deserve this.”

For tickets or more infor-mation, call Grey at 781-831-5849 or 781-293-5380.

Night out to benefit local woman battling cancer

Friends are planning a fundraiser to help Pembroke residents Bill “BJ” Morrisette and his wife Alysa, who was diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer in February. Tickets cost $20 and are available at the door or in advance by calling Cheryl Grey at 781-831-5849 or 781-293-5380. Courtesy photo

Print reproductions of watercolor paintings featur-ing Pembroke landmarks that hang in the selectmen’s office at Town Hall now are avail-able for residents to purchase

Painted by local artist Becky Haletky, the paint-ings are purchased each year through a Pembroke Cultural Council grant and feature local sites including the Adah Hall House, Lydia Drake Library, War Memorial and Historical Society building, Herring Run (Thomas Reading Memorial) Park and the Hexagon House.

Each image costs $40 and is available as an unframed color print that will fit into an

8 1/2-by-11-inch mat and an 11-by-14-inch frame (frames and mats not included). A portion of the proceeds will go to the 300th Anniversary Committee to be used in fund-ing events to celebrate Pem-broke’s 300th anniversary in 2012.

Prints are available through the Town Clerk’s of-fice on the second floor of Town Hall. All orders must be prepaid, and checks should be made payable to the Town of Pembroke (Pembroke Cultur-al Council in the memo line). For more information, call Di-ane Tobin in the selectmen’s office at 781-293-3844.

One of the pairs takes their balloon tossing seriously.

Bella Archambault, 2, teams up with lifeguard Sarah Winn in the water balloon toss.

Thirteen-month-old Leo Cuscianna is not quite sure about his role in the water bal-loon toss.

Rachel Carlton, 7, competes in the paddle race.American Legion Post 143 and friends have been offering up free refreshments at the Fun Festival every year for about 30 years. Those helping out Saturday included Legionnaires Dick Nickerson, Lou Jordan, Don Kernan and incoming Post 143 Commander Wayne Woodward as well as Ladies Auxiliary member Irma Wall and volunteers Abby Hanson, Jess Wall and Victoria Proctor.

Teri Palma, 8 3/4, took first place overall and was the top female swimmer in the Little Island race. Jackson Saia, 10, took second place overall and was the top male swimmer in the race.

Pembroke lifeguards Matt Merritt, Sarah Winn, Dana Rosner, Mellissa and Samantha Collin and Sam and Cam Draper take a timeout from Fun Fest activi-ties for a photo with Town Administrator Ed Thorne (that’s him in the wig and Pirates cheerleader’s costume). This year’s Fun Fest was centered around a sports theme.

School seeking instructors



Republican candidate for State Auditor Mary Z. Con-naughton was greeted by an overflow crowd at “The Grotto” at Orta’s Restaurant in Pembroke on Thursday, Aug. 6. The event was hosted by Plymouth County Sherriff Joseph McDonald Jr. and Dis-trict Attorney Tim Cruz.

“Mary has our support, and we want voters to know that finally we have a candi-date that is actually a certified public accountant that is an auditor running for the office of State Auditor,” Cruz said. “People recognize the need to have someone with qualifica-tions looking after how their hard-earned tax dollars are be-ing spent.”

Connaughton is the only CPA-trained auditor in the race. She served as a toll pay-er’s advocate while serving on the Mass. Turnpike Authority and is entering the race from the private sector with the be-lief that her credentials and experience are the qualifica-tions needed to ensure proper oversight and accountability

to the taxpayer. The auditor reports only to the people and is responsible for assuring that tax dollars are being spent ef-ficiently.

McDonald remarked: “We have never had a CPA as our state auditor, and I believe that this independent office will be

more productive in monitoring abuse, advising on efficien-cies and keeping the public in-formed on government spend-ing with a professional such as Mary Z. Connaughton.”

For more information on Connaughton or the auditor’s role, visit maryforauditor.com.

q u e S T i O N O F T h e W e e k By vanessa phaM

What was your favorite book you read for the library’s summer program?

Over the past several weeks, I have seen several articles from residents indicating concern and dis-pleasure over the new center

plaza build-out. I have heard things equating the new CVS to the size of the Pyramids in Egypt. It is a monstrosity. I have read about the destruction of the historical nature of the center. While, yes, the CVS is larger than we may have expected, and this renovation means change for the center, it also means many jobs at a time when this commu-nity and this area need them. These jobs are important, and once completed the new plaza will generate additional tax revenue for the town. Yes, the new plaza and especially the new CVS will take some getting used to, and it will make our center look and even feel a bit different ini-tially, but the town will be better off as a result of this change.

Seems to me, more than anything else, the renovation of our town is creating a lot of aggravation, change and incon-venience. It is like a major home renovation. That renovation where your wife has no access to the kitchen or a bathroom for about a month and is pulling her hair out and wanting to kill you because it is taking far longer than it should (absolutely no reflection on this columnist’s wife, by the way). The plaza is the renovation that makes the kids annoyed, whining and grumpy, and no one in the house is happy. From this kitchen nightmare comes new granite, more cabinet space, new ap-pliances and a far more convenient lifestyle. Once done, the ag-gravation of the past is forgotten and we all move on together.

Our town’s kitchen nightmare also will end, and the con-venience of that behemoth CVS and new grocery will make all our lives easier. But until then, the businesses down in the plaza absolutely need your patronage. Far less beer, nails, candy, flowers, pizza and manicures are being purchased down there right now. These businesses are owned and employ our neighbors. Each of these businesses will either need to close or temporarily relocate for about two to three months in order for the old plaza to be torn down. When this happens, they will need to rely on the business done today in order to insure they are viable going forward. Now is the time, Pembroke, to patronize these businesses. Yes, the “organic” stone parking spaces are a pain, but the Center Street entrance is back open again and will make getting in and out far easier.

Let’s welcome the new center plaza with open arms. Welcome the jobs, welcome the businesses, and welcome the future conveniences. While I absolutely agree we need to pre-serve our town character, this renovation is good for our town. It is good economically both now and in the future. Whether a supporter or not, please patronize these businesses. They are our friends, neighbors and employers and the backbone of our local economy.

Kitchen nightmare will end eventually

Erin Touhey Champion Way

“I really liked ‘Dead is the New Black’ because it was a mystery. I’m into the Twilight series, and this was like it because it had

vampires in it.”

Joe Beck Furnace Lane

“My favorite book was ‘No Laughing, No Smiling, No

Giggling’ because the crocodile said, ‘Is that understood? Is it?

Is it? Is it?’”

Zachary Phinney Spring Street

“I have two. ‘Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days’ and ‘Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Last Straw.’ The pictures are amazing and

they are really hard books to read. They aren’t chapter books, but

they are really long.”

Olivia Cuccia Champion Way

“‘Alvin and the Chipmunks’ because it was funny.

My favorite character is Brittany — she is so pretty.”

Dallas Carroll Wampatuck Street

“This summer I read ‘The Journal of Scott Pendleton Collins.’ It was my favorite because it’s about World War II and

I’m a huge fan of it.”

When we value the individual, racism doesn’t

work. In response to Mr. Green’s letter [Opinion, Aug. 13], I must say that I cannot agree more with his beliefs about how pervasive racism is in our lives and how it is an is-sue that is promulgated in pol-itics, news and entertainment. However, where he goes awry is when he uses his opinion on racism to take a partisan stance.

In classic political theory, especially here in America, racism is a tool used by both sides of the political collec-tive to demonize the other

side. That is without a doubt true and, yes, both the left and right are equally guilty of these injustices. For the author to write such a thoughtful let-ter and then ruin his credibility by not objectively pointing out that racism is an affliction of collectivism on both the right and left is truly disheartening

The fact is, two wrongs do not make a right and the solu-tion to racism is not more rac-ism. This is because we live in a society where we demonize the individual — and right-fully so — for outward acts of racism and bigotry toward his or her common man. Yet we respect institutional rac-

ism through government and private charity that at its core is nothing more than favorable discrimination based on race. Which by definition is racism

This is because, at root, racism is a form of collectiv-ism, which is the belief that an individual’s identity is deter-mined by his un-chosen physi-ological characteristics — and not by his chosen values and action. To this point, it does not matter how the progres-sives on the left ideologically justify racism, because at its core it is just as bad as the individuals and organizations on the right who use racism to demonize that very same col-lective.

The solution to racism in America is to value the indi-vidual and their rights over the collective. The collective is important because it helps us as individuals understand our shared history; however, the moment we let our shared his-tory define us is when we be-come divided. With that said, I think my generation is begin-ning to do just that: value the individual.

I believe this shift will take time, a long time, per-haps maybe not even in my own lifetime, but so long as the established political sys-tem and individuals such as Mr. Green continue to use racism as a tool for furthering their agendas it only makes it so much harder to move for-ward. Because when we value the individual over the collec-tive, racism doesn’t work.

Much has been said about the con-struction going

on in Pembroke Center, posi-tive and negative. This week’s picture shows the area in earli-er (and perhaps simpler) times. It shows the corner of Center and Mattakeesett streets. Note the land surrounded by a stone wall — today, this is the land taken up by the shopping cen-ter.

On the far right is the Jos-selyn House, the present loca-tion of the new CVS building. It was built around 1836 by Elisha Josselyn, son of El-isha Keen Josselyn and Lydia (Dwelley) Josselyn. The Jos-selyn family had a proud and long-time association with the town of Pembroke as did the Dwelley family. Elisha Jr. married Abigail Standish (from another family of some note) in 1835. It was fairly common in those days for the new husband to build a house for his wife and their new life together or even for the par-ents of a newlywed couple to build a house for their children and the future generations they expected would follow.

According to Pembroke Vital Records, Elisha Jr., who was a mason by trade, and Abby (as she liked to be known) had four children, twins Edwin and Adelaide and daughters Emma and Delia. Delia died in 1849 of dysentery, at the age of one year. Edwin married Helen Al-len of Maine and had a son, Fred, and two daughters, Fan-ny and Rose. Adelaide never married. Both Edwin and Ad-elaide died in 1917. Emma married William Bent and had three daughters, Addie, Etta

and Lura.True to the old tradition,

the house was home to sev-eral generations of Josselyns. In 1966, the property was sold to the Henrich Company and moved to its present location at the corner of Center Street and Erickson Road. The ac-companying barn was moved to Oldham Street to make way for the new shopping plaza.

Across Center Street from the Josselyn place was a country or general store, first opened by Isaac Jennings and called the Union Store. It was later owned by Joseph Shep-herd and James Wilkenson and then by Ira Porter and then Kenneth Henrich. The build-ing burned in 1974.

Not seen in this photo is the

area known historically as the old Burton Homestead, across Mattakeesett Street from the Josselyn place. The oldest part of the homestead, which was torn down to make way for the new bank addition, was built by Thomas Burton. The struc-ture that remains today is said to have been built about 1808 by Elisha Keen Josselyn, pa-triarch of the above mentioned families.

Perhaps the new shopping center should be called Josse-lyn Corners.

The commission had con-tinued the hearing from Aug. 2 to allow project engineer Rick Grady to prepare an alternate design that moved the road fur-ther away from the bog.

Grady showed the commis-sion the new arrangement but said it was not acceptable to the developer because it would mean losing one home lot.

Both Grady and wetlands consultant John Zimmer said the proposed design also would better protect the wetland be-cause it left more of a buffer between the bog and any house lots and provided a continuous area of habitat.

“We do believe the road-way in the presently proposed location is the best location,” Grady said.

The commission agreed.Grady also agreed to the

commission’s request to in-clude a 10-foot natural walk-ing path along one of the lot lines connecting the cul-de-sac to Tubbs Meadow. The path would be maintained by the commission.

The idea of having the town purchase the back two or three lots along Tubbs Meadow with CPA funds was brought up dur-ing a discussion of conditions for commission approval.

Commissioner Carey Day said the commission would like to be given first refusal on the back lots — giving the town the option to buy the land at a fair market price before of-fering it up to potential home-buyers.

Gosselin, who attended the meeting Monday, said he was not against the idea but that the two sides would have to sit down to consider what that cost would be. He was not sure about having the item be a con-dition of approval but said he would keep the option open.

He said having the town purchase the land could “elim-inate a lot of headaches” when it comes to getting permits for building homes there.

However, Gosselin also said he had signed agreements with potential buyers for at least two of the back lots.

Conservation commission-er Mark Ames said the CPA process could take until the spring Town Meeting but that the board would try to get the proposal in by fall.

“We can’t promise this is going to happen, but it’s some-thing we’d be willing to try,” he told the developer.

The Conservation Com-mission and environmental consultants from Nover-Arm-strong Associates also recom-mended other conditions for road approval, including:

• That the developer com-plete paperwork and submit

information about three poten-tial vernal pools — one on the property and two on the edge of the town-owned property bordering the site — for cer-tification through the Natural Heritage and Endangered Spe-cies Program;

• That there be no herbi-cides, pesticides or road salt used on and around the road-way to prevent runoff into the wetlands habitat;

• That the developer plant a dense, 50-foot wide vegetative barrier around the bog to keep people out;

• That the developer limit curbing with a steep vertical drop within 100 feet of the bog to allow free movement of ani-mals such as turtles and frogs across the property;

• And that the developer in-stall a speed bump or wildlife crossing signs at either end of the cul-de-sac to remind resi-dents to slow down.

Nover-Armstrong also rec-ommended that the developer consult a qualified wildlife bi-ologist for design, construction and land management plans to minimize the project’s envi-ronmental impact.

Grady said he did not think this was necessary and that he would prefer to answer specific recommendations rather than pay someone to further study the site.

“I don’t think this is some-thing the commission has ever required of any other project,” Grady said of the condition. “It’s very vague and it could be a black hole. […] Let’s be specific about what it is you’re asking of us so we can respond in a fair manner.”

He gave as example the commission’s request that they plant a vegetative buf-fer around the bog, saying the

developer could “burn through a few thousand dollars” doing plantings or doing more re-search and paperwork.

Grady also said he would be willing to submit informa-tion to certify the vernal pools but said they would plan to do so after permitting the individ-ual house lots.

Residents who attended the hearing Monday said they appreciated the commission’s efforts to protect local habitat, though they did not want the development to go forward.

“I don’t want to see any-thing happen back there. There’s too much wetlands. The whole back half of that property is littered with vernal pools, bogs, ponds, wildlife,” said Chris Newton, a Felicia Terrace resident. “I think if they can eliminate those three back lots that border Tubbs Meadow, that’s a great com-promise.”

Edward Drive residents Kevin and Beth McQuaid said they weren’t expecting the commission to recommend the developer offer selling part of the property to the town.

“It was a nice surprise,” Beth McQuaid said after the meeting.

The public hearing was closed Monday, and an order of conditions will be sent to the developer to be signed.

Most elementary school students wouldn’t relish the chance to head back to school during the summer months. But campers at the Building Character Through Sports pro-gram at Bryantville Elemen-tary School are not only hav-ing fun, they are helping camp leader Kevin Weldon raise money for a good cause.

Weldon, a physical edu-cation teacher at Bryantville, started the four-week camp as a nonprofit program to raise money for research into macular degeneration, a dis-ease that results in the loss of central vision. There is no treatment for the disease, and Weldon said it is prominent in his family, which caused him to take action.

Weldon has run four Chi-cago Marathons to raise money for macular degeneration re-search at Tufts Medical center, and he is training for his fifth. He got the idea for starting the BCTS camp after running an after-school program at Bry-antville this year, and said it has turned out better than he expected for a first attempt.

“I’ve been raising money for about five years now,” Weldon said. “But I knew I always wanted to run a camp. I’ve been lucky and I’m thank-ful to everyone who helped me get this started and get non-profit status, and I’m happy to

say we’re going to be sending a nice check to Tufts.”

The camp consisted of two Building Character Through Sports camps and two Build-ing Character Through Basket-ball camps, each running for one week. Weldon, a 17-year basketball coach, devoted the two basketball camps to teach-ing the camp fundamentals and the sports-themed weeks to basic sport skills and team games.

The overreaching goal of both camps, Weldon said, was to teach team-building, cama-raderie and confidence.

“I saw it as a way to cre-ate a program that focuses on

skills, but more on how to co-operate and be a good team-mate,” he said. “When they recognize someone they didn’t know three hours ago [for their accomplishments during the day], it creates comfort and builds their confidence. We usually have one girl ev-ery week, and there has never been a problem; the boys are all respectful.”

While the camp took place at Bryantville, Weldon said el-ementary school students from across town showed up to take part in the camp over the dif-ferent weeks, with some com-ing back for more after their week of camp was over.

“One guy has been here all four weeks,” Weldon said. “I’d like to think he is having a good time.”

Weldon thanked Bry-antville Elementary for let-ting him run the camp out of the school’s gymnasium and also thanked the parents who spread the word about his camp across Pembroke. Wel-don didn’t do much advertis-ing this year because he was focused on getting things up and running, but he said he got a good turnout based largely on word of mouth.

“Parents have been happy with the camp, and they have really talked it up and sup-ported it,” he said. “[Bryant-

ville principal] Dr. Catherine Glaude and the staff also have all been great and very accom-modating.”

Weldon plans to keep a buzz for the camp going dur-ing the school year by continu-ing to run his after-school pro-gram. He hopes the camp will be back at Bryantville next year not only to raise more money to fight macular degeneration, but also because he said it was just as enjoyable for him as it was for the campers.

“I’m having more fun do-ing this than I ever have,” he said. “I’m hoping to continue working throughout the school year, and it would be great if it grows next summer.”

Seventeen-year-old Pem-broke skateboarder Nora Vas-concellos has only been skat-ing competitively for a little

over two years, but already she is making a name for herself in the biggest skateboarding competition in the country.

Vasconcellos placed sixth in the women’s vert compe-

tition at the 16th Summer X Games in Los Angeles, Calif. on July 30.

It Vasconcellos’ first ap-pearance in the X Games —an achievement she said is the goal for any professional skater.

“This is probably the most talked-about event in skate-boarding,” Vasconcellos said. “I didn’t think it was attain-able, then in the last year I saw it as a real possibility. It was so much fun. As a skateboarder, it is a dream come true.”

Vasconcellos put together a string of good performances on her way to Los Angeles, in-cluding finishing second in the 2009 World Cup bowl rank-ings and taking fifth in the vert at this year’s Dew Tour Cham-pionship at the TD Garden in Boston.

At the X Games, howev-er, Vasconcellos had to fight through a little adversity after taking a spill two days before the finals and bruising the heel of her foot.

“I’ve never really had an injury, so dealing with that was very different for me,” she said. “I felt like I skated OK, but I had fun.”

Vasconcellos also thanked the many Pembroke business-es and residents that donated to her cause and helped her get to California, including the Friends of the Pembroke Skate Park, Peter Brown and

Tiny & Sons Glass.“Everyone who pitched

in was amazing,” she said. “I didn’t realize how many peo-ple were interested in helping me. It was unreal and I am so thankful.”

Vasconcellos didn’t slow down after the X Games, in-stead spending the last week at an action sports camp in Pennsylvania. She plans to skate in one more event before winter, either the Vans Bowl in Orange, Calif. or the Johnny Romano classic in Houston, Texas that helps the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
