“Winter is on my head, but eternal spring is in my heart.” — Victor Hugo

GRIN AND BEAR IT: Webelos Jon Flanagan, Sean Spring and Jack McQuaid, members of the Big Buff Bears team, take time out from their efforts at the Klondike Derby on Saturday, Jan. 22 for a friendly photo op. The boys, part of Pembroke Cub Scout Pack 105, braved the chill to compete with other Webelo teams at the all-day event held at Camp Squanto in Plymouth. The teams, who chose their own names, had to pull sleds full of gear from station to station to show off their skills at fire building, first aid and other activities. See more photos on page 8.

With Pembroke already hit by several major snowstorms this winter and more snow in the forecast, residents may be wondering where to turn if the electricity goes out for long periods of time.

Selectman Lew Stone raised the question during a meeting Monday night, say-ing a resident had requested the information as an Ask the Selectmen query.

Stone said during a recent storm, when the resident’s power was out for 14 hours, she had called the Police De-partment to find out whether

Pembroke had an emergency shelter set up. The person was referred to a nearby town be-cause Pembroke did not have a shelter set up at that time.

Town Moderator Steve Dodge is seeking his third term and Planning Board member Jim Noone his fifth in the town election this spring.

Dodge first was elected to the moderator position in 2009, taking over for John Walsh, who had served as Pembroke’s moderator for nearly 60 years.

Dodge said he was looking forward to continuing the job for another year.

“I think we’ve made strides, especially the last couple of years, in attracting more people to Town Meeting, by trying to start promptly, by

making the process a little eas-ier to understand and by open-ing it up more to those who may have a handicap, such as the hearing impaired,” Dodge said. “I want to continue along those same lines.”

For the first time, at the Oct. 19 special Town Meeting, headphones were available for those who had trouble hearing speakers, and residents who used the feature said they were glad to have the option.

“We have a very impor-tant Town Meeting coming up, with lots of important issues to discuss — the budget as well

A local Boy Scout hopes to give a war monument in the center of town a new look in time for Memorial Day as part of his efforts toward achieving Eagle Scout status.

David Lopes, a Life Scout with Boy Scout Troop 105, appeared before selectmen Monday to explain his plans to make improvements to the town’s World War II, Korea and Vietnam monument in front of First Church. Lopes plans to install eight gran-ite or concrete posts around the monument, linked by a black chain, and to install two benches on each side.

He plans to begin work at the end of March, weather permitting, and would like to complete the project in time for the Memorial Day parade and ceremony in late May.

Anyone interested in helping can visit pembroket-roop105.org for details about upcoming fundraisers.

In other business Monday:• Selectmen acknowledged

the town’s ownership of a 3,528-square-foot parcel locat-ed at 46 Fairview Avenue. The property had been in foreclo-sure since about 2001 and the local land court recently issued

a final judgment. The property does not contain any structures. Selectmen asked that the site be included on a list of surplus property for possible auction in the near future.

• Selectmen accepted the resignation of Jim McCollum from the Affordable Hous-ing Committee. McCollum recently was appointed to the Advisory Committee. Only three of the Affordable Hous-ing Committee’s seven seats are currently filled; without a quorum, the board cannot meet. Anyone interested in applying for an open seat can stop by the selectmen’s office

at Town Hall or call 781-293-3844 for information.

• Selectmen approved a re-quest from the Pembroke High School Parents Association for the Performing Arts to use the area in front of the community center for a car wash fund-raiser on Saturday, May 21. They also approved a request from the Pembroke Historical Society to use the Herring Run park for the annual Grand Ol’ Fish Fry on Sunday, May 1.

• The board approved a one-day liquor license for a fundraiser to be held at the South Shore Fieldhouse on Oak Street, on March 12.

At least one Pembroke Center Plaza business will re-main open while the old retail building is being demolished. Project manager Ben Hartley was before selectmen Mon-day night requesting permis-sion for Candy Jar/Designs in Bloom to use a trailer on the site for up to three months.

Selectmen unanimously gave their approval for the trailer, which will measure 12-by-56-feet and be placed along Mattakeesett Street, close to the parking lot en-trance on that street. They asked Hartley to get approval also from the town building and plumbing inspectors and the health agent.

The trailer will be hand-icapped-accessible and will have a bathroom, Hartley said. It will be on site for two to three months.

“It will provide her a way to keep her visibility while the center’s coming down,” Hart-ley said of Candy Jar owner Kim Baldner. “She takes a number of orders for Easter coming up, so this is an im-portant time for her.”

Hartley said Candy Jar is the only business that will be

using a trailer. All others will close during demolition, with plans to reopen in the new building later this spring.

The site also features a new, larger CVS Pharmacy — which recently opened for business — and eventu-ally will house a new Stop and Shop grocery store.

The plaza property, locat-ed at the corner of Center and

Mattakeesett streets, is owned by Coffman Realty through the Pembroke Plaza Limited Partnership.

Demolition of the old re-tail building is scheduled to begin Feb. 15, Hartley said. They are aiming to have the work completed and the cen-ter open by April 1, weather permitting.

Selectmen said they were glad the local shop had a way to stay open through demoli-tion.

Selectman Arthur Boyle commended Baldner for her involvement in the commu-nity.

“So if we’re extending a hand to help her stay in busi-ness, that’s a good investment on the town’s part,” he said.

Selectmen also asked Hart-ley if there was an update on the center traffic issue — town officials and several residents have complained that the new lights are not timed well, and traffic backs up quickly.

Hartley said he would be willing to examine the prob-lem further and hold a public meeting if residents still had concerns.

“Ultimately, we want the town to be happy with the im-provements,” he said.

As a great number of resi-dents have been calling to inquire about curbside trash service following a holiday or a day of inclement weather, se-lectmen decided to publish the following information to help resolve any confusion.

When there is a holiday, trash is moved back one day following the holiday, for the rest of that week. DelPrete & Sons Trucking honors all banking holidays.

In the case of inclement weather, if there is six inches or more of snowfall, trash pickup will be suspended. Trash pickup will resume the day after, beginning with the trash route that was missed, then proceeding to the cur-rent day’s trash routes, com-pleting as much as possible. The following day will begin wherever the previous day left off. Within two days of a snow event, trash pickup should be

caught up.Special notes: Residents

are responsible to make sure their trash is in barrels, and is accessible to haulers. Resi-dents should not allow their barrel to become buried or plowed in. The hauler cannot pick up barrels they cannot see or cannot move as they are fro-zen in place.

As always, trash must be at the curb by 7 a.m. on the day of pickup. Residents are allowed four barrels of trash a week. All recyclable goods are supposed to be brought to the recycling center, not left at curbside. If there are excessive recyclables in the trash, it may not be picked up. The recycling center is also closed on days of inclement weather. Normal hours are Saturday and Sun-day from 9 a.m. to 2:45 p.m. and Wednesday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

If people have questions

regarding their specific trash pickup, or believe they were missed, they can call DelPrete directly at 800-791-9137.

Arts Festival scholarship

The Pembroke Arts Fes-tival Committee is pleased to announce that it will once again be awarding a total of $1,000 in scholarship money to a deserving individual(s) planning to study art at the college level. The scholarship is available to any Pembroke resident who is planning to enroll as a full-time art student in the next year or is current-ly enrolled as an art student. Pembroke High School stu-dents can find the applications forms in the Guidance Depart-ment. Non-PHS students may download the form from the scholarship page on the Pem-broke Arts Festival Web site at PembrokeArtsFestival.org.

The completed applica-tion, along with at least three samples of work (please sub-mit photographs, slides or electronic files of work—no original art work please!), should be submitted to the ad-dress on the form by April 1. The Arts Festival scholarship committee will evaluate each applicant and make a final de-cision. The winner will be no-tified in mid-April.

If the winner is a senior at Pembroke High School, the award will be presented dur-ing the PHS awards night at the beginning of June. If the winner attends another high school or is currently enrolled as an art student, the award will be presented during the Friday evening opening ceremony of the Pembroke Arts Festival in August.

Money for this annual scholarship is raised from a raffle held during the Arts Fes-tival each year.

Emergency Management, said there is a plan in place and that local officials are available to assist residents in an emergen-cy, though Pembroke may not always have a shelter set up.

He directed residents to call the Emergency Manage-ment number, 781-293-5413, for information about recent power outages and other issues as well as contact numbers for both Boulter and co-director George Emanuel (deputy fire chief). Residents also may leave a message, and one of the officials will get back to them, Boulter said.

Boulter said in the most re-cent major storm, which hit on Jan. 12, about 31 percent of the town had been without power because of six major power outages, according to National Grid representatives.

“Pembroke was probably one of the biggest towns with-out power. They realized that at National Grid and they sent a slew of trucks to restore the power,” Boulter said. “There were trucks here from out of state that were working on the power lines.”

Boulter said he and Eman-uel were in contact throughout the day with police, fire and the Department of Public Works and decided not to open a shel-ter in town when there were no calls for shelter late in the day. Both Silver Lake and Whit-man-Hanson school districts had opened shelters at their schools, with Red Cross repre-sentatives on site, and Boulter said Pembroke residents would have been referred there — and given transportation by Emer-gency Management officials if they needed it.

“When we do open up a shelter like that, we contact MEMA [Massachusetts Emer-gency Management Agency] headquarters, and they send the Red Cross, which shows up with food, blankets, cots and all the equipment we need. It’s kind of an expensive prop-osition to put all those in place if nobody’s going to use it. To save money, they’re trying to regionalize if we only have a small amount of people,” Boulter said. “MEMA doesn’t like to have 15 shelters open unless they need to have them open.”

In an earlier storm, Hobo-

mock Elementary School — which has a generator — did open as a shelter for about five to seven people, Boulter said. The police and fire stations and Pembroke Public Library also could house small groups of people in an emergency, he said.

Already this winter, the DPW has spent more than $219,700 over its budget for snow and ice removal. The Jan. 12 storm alone cost more than $85,600 in salt, sand, con-tractors and employee over-time, according to information provided by the DPW director. The season’s most expensive storm so far was the one that hit the day after Christmas, on Dec. 26, bringing blizzard conditions and costing Pem-broke close to $110,000.

As Board of Selectmen chairman, Boulter has the au-thority to declare a state of emergency in town, which enables departments to deficit spend and for the town to be eligible to receive state and federal funds to cover those costs. Boulter said he had de-clared a state of emergency twice this winter.

Both Emergency Man-agement directors will not be seeking reappointment this year, Boulter said. Emanuel is planning to retire from the Fire Department this month, and Boulter retired from the Police Department in 2008.

He said selectmen would have to decide whether they wanted to continue having a representative from both po-lice and fire head up the team.

Selectmen discuss emergency shelter plancontinued from page one

special to the express

Following a briefing with top public safety, emergency management and housing of-ficials on Sunday, Governor Deval Patrick urged residents across the Commonwealth to take extra precautions during the period of dangerously cold weather the National Weather Service was forecasting for this week, and directed state agencies to coordinate with cities and towns to protect the public’s safety.

“As this bitter cold ap-proaches, I have put state agencies on high alert to re-spond to any public safety and public health issues that may emerge, including con-tacting our largest individual emergency shelters to ensure they will be open to everyone around the clock,” Patrick said. “We are also reaching out to cities and towns to make sure they are prepared, and have pledged support, where needed, of state fuel as-sistance, transportation, emer-gency housing and emergency management resources.”

The governor, in coordi-nation with the United Way and the Massachusetts Emer-gency Management Agency, has put the Mass 2-1-1 call

center on high alert, particu-larly for individuals seeking fuel or sheltering services. Any resident in need of assis-tance can call 2-1-1, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

The Patrick-Murray Ad-ministration recently an-nounced that Massachusetts will receive an additional $73 million in emergency federal fuel assistance, bring-ing its total allotment to $173 million. Thanks to this infu-sion of funds, heating oil de-livery vendors will be able to make emergency deliveries to eligible individuals and families. To find their near-est provider, residents should call 800-632-8175.

The Patrick-Murray Ad-ministration also recommends individuals take the following safety precautions:

• Stay indoors. First and foremost, officials recom-mend people minimize out-side activities in extremely cold weather, particularly for elderly residents and the very young.

• Fill up the tank. Resi-dents should make sure to have emergency heating equipment in the event that they use elec-tricity — as well as sufficient fuel. When utilizing alterna-

tive heating sources, such as the fireplace, wood stove or space heater, residents should take the necessary safety pre-cautions — and ensure that smoke and carbon monoxide detectors are working.

• Safety first. The state Fire Marshall also recom-mends that residents be extra wary about use of space heat-ers, which present a fire risk. Space heaters need space, so use them in a 3-foot circle of safety, free of anything that can catch fire. Keep in mind that they are not designed to replace a central heating sys-tem; they are only designed to provide a little extra heat on a temporary basis. So be sure to turn them off when leaving a room or going to bed at night.

• Watch out for others. Residents who see homeless individuals outside during the extreme cold are encouraged to call 911 so that local police can transport them to emer-gency shelter.

As in any emergency situ-ation, please check on elderly or vulnerable neighbors to en-sure that they have what they need to ride this out and have taken the appropriate precau-tions as well.

Governor urges caution in extreme cold, offers heating fuel assistance

In the last major snowstorm on Jan. 12, National Grid estimated about 31 percent of Pembroke was without power for a certain period of time. Residents in need of shelter are encouraged to call Pembroke Emergency Management at 781-293-5413.

John is obsessed with BJ’s! I try to tell him that nothing is a good buy if you don’t need it, can’t use

it, or won’t be able to consume it before the expiration date. So the day before a recent snowstorm, I packed up all the items in my freezer and took them to a daughter who lives close by. I had three bags of items such as boxes of pancakes, pizza, packages of hotdogs, ice cream, bread and rolls, meatballs and more. I felt quite good about my ac-complishment until a few days later when I noticed that John had made another trip to BJ’s to replenish the void. Some days you just can’t win for trying. And now let’s see what’s going on around town.

work for her to upgrade her store, and I noticed the vast amount of people that came into her store,” Brown said. “About one out of every three or four customers would ask why there wasn’t a men’s con-signment store in the area.”

After doing some research, Brown found that the closest men’s consignment shop ap-peared to be in South Boston. He saw an opportunity.

With several clothing do-nations and advice from his fellow consigners, Brown got to work on building a busi-ness, opening Men’s Replay in early January, with a grand opening held last weekend.

“When we opened, I had about 150 items, and now we’re at just over 1,600 — all nice name-brand items: Polo, Ralph Lauren, Nautica, Eddie Bauer, Land’s End, Talbots,” Brown said. Because I’ve had so many donations, I’ve been able to price aggressively and offer sweaters that would cost $100 to $150 sweaters for $10 to $12.”

Brown is accepting new consignments — new and pre-viously worn men’s clothing and accessories in excellent condition.

“It’s very simple,” Brown said of the consignment pro-cess. “Regular clothing, it’s a 90-day consignment pe-riod. You bring your products in, I go through everything, and we price it. Higher-end items, such as leather jackets, suits and any type of sporting equipment, it’s a six-month consignment period.”

After signing the Men’s Replay agreement, consigners leave the work up to Brown. They receive half the profits of any items sold, with Men’s Replay receiving the other half. After the consignment period is up, the owner has a week to retrieve any unsold items. If left unclaimed, the items will be donated to local shelters or churches, Brown said.

Though eventually, Brown will take consignments ac-cording to the season, as a new business, Men’s Replay is accepting all types of cloth-

ing and accessories.“I’ve got a table set up in

back for shorts and a T-shirt rack. I’ve been taking all types of workout gear,” he said. “I’ll take pretty much anything I can get that might interest someone.”

Anyone who becomes a consigner in the first year of business will receive a mem-bership card, with 10 percent off any Men’s Replay pur-chases for the life of the busi-ness, Brown said.

Along with its selection of dress shirts, slacks, jeans, sweaters, jackets and other menswear, the store offers a variety of accessories — dress shoes and sneakers, belts, ties, tie tacks, cufflinks, hats and wallets.

The store also provides a way for residents to cash in on

their gently used sports equip-ment, shoes, helmets and clothing.

“I have a six-year-old son and a four-year-old son and the six-year-old especially grows out of his cleats for soccer. Soccer’s only seven weeks, and once a week they play for a half an hour. I spend $45 on cleats, so what do I do after the season? They’re brand new; there’s not a mark on them,” Brown said. “So now I have a place where I’ll be able to sell them and let someone buy a good pair of cleats for around $12.”

Though he is accepting sports equipment for all ages, Brown is accepting shoes and clothing only for upper teens to adults, so as not to detract from nearby Kids Closet.

The shop specializing in children’s and preteen cloth-ing and toys is just one of several consignment busi-nesses in the building. Just down the hall is McCluskey’s store, Twice As Nice, featur-ing women’s clothing and ac-cessories, while downstairs is a furniture consignment shop, Second 2 None.

“It’s kind of like a consign-ment gallery family that we’ve developed here,” Brown said.

Brown lives in Plymouth with his wife Amy and sons Cody, 6, and TJ, 4. The new venture has been a family af-fair, as Amy helps by doing online research and develop-ing a Web site, and the boys help any way they can.

“Cody was here the other day and he walked up to a lady and said, ‘Can I help you find something?’” Brown said, laughing. “At six years old.”

One of the challenges of the business, Brown said, is teaching people that a con-signment shop is a lot like a department store — just with a much smaller price tag.

“The biggest dilemma I think I’ll come across is that people — like myself before I learned better — don’t un-derstand what a consignment shop is. They might think it’s all used, run-down stuff that we’re just trying to make a couple bucks off of, and it’s the complete opposite,” Brown said. “Some people feel bad or

ashamed when they have to go to a place like the Salvation Army because of whatever has happened in their life. I’m trying to create an atmosphere here that people are going to feel good about themselves

when they’re here — all nice, name-brand products, all pressed, in perfect condition. I want them to be standing next to someone who spent $2,000, while they spent $20, and feel good.”

Pack 105 Webelo Christopher Shea shows off the bowline knot he tied behind his back.

Chills and skillsOn a chilly Saturday, Jan. 22, Webelos from Cub Scout

Pack 105 spent all day at Camp Squanto in Plymouth at the Klondike Derby, where they traveled from sta-

tion to station pulling sleds with all their gear — from wood for the fire to first aid supplies, cooking utensils and food. The Scouts were scored by how well they performed at each station. Temperatures started in the teens and ended in the mid-20s. Sta-tions included: knot tying, citizenship/first class, fire building, naturalist, first aid, cooking, model campsite setup and map and compass.

Each Webelo patrol had a unique name and was asked to an-nounce themselves with a patrol cheer at each station.

There also were a number of Boy Scouts and adults from town helping at some of the stations.

The Klondike Derby is designed just for Webelos, and, for the second-year Webelos, the derby is one of the last things they do before crossing over to Boy Scouts in March.

Up next, Pack 105 is planning a tubing trip in early February, will be having their Blue and Gold banquet on Feb. 13 and will have their Scout crossover ceremony on March 18.

The Pocket Knife Ninjas, Webelos from Pack 105, stand near their loaded-up sled with leaders Bill Hartigan and Kris Fraser.

Pack 105’s Big Buff Bears Ryan Larsen, Jack McQuaid, Jon Flanagan and Sean Spring enjoy a hot treat they cooked themselves over an open fire. The secret ingredient? Chocolate!

Pack 105 Webelos Ryan Larsen, CJ Perry, Nicky Shea, Jack McQuaid, Jon Flanagan, Devin Derochea, Sean Spring, Jacob Twigg and Lucas Lapham celebrate a successful finish at the Klondike Derby.

as other issues,” Dodge said. “I think it’s important to have a firm hand at the helm.”

Dodge said he still has some changes he’d like to try.

“I’d like to institute a babysitting service so parents with young children can at least attend part of Town Meeting.

I’ve talked to one member of the School Commi t t ee who raised the question, and I’m see-ing if we can pursue that,” Dodge said. “I’d also like to make a few minor p r o c e d u r a l c h a n g e s , just to make things a little bit clearer.”

D o d g e is a lifelong resident of

Pembroke, save a few years as an adult. He works as the associate director of the Mas-sachusetts Petroleum Council, a trade association, and has served on the town Advisory Committee and Energy Com-mittee. He also is a cemetery trustee.

Noone has lived in Pem-broke for about 17 years and was appointed to fill a vacant seat on the board in September 1993. He was elected the fol-lowing spring to complete the rest of that term, then re-elect-ed three more times for full five-year terms.

“I like to volunteer with something, and I’m an engi-

neer, so the Planning Board lets me use my knowledge as an engineer to do something useful for the town,” Noone said. “A lot of times if the town engineer isn’t available or we don’t have him there, I’m the only engineer there that can answer some engineering questions. I like to think I add something to the board.”

Noone owns BSI Engineer-ing in Pembroke.

He said one of his top con-cerns when reviewing plans be-fore the board is public safety.

“Whenever I see a project coming in, the first thing I look at is do we have any safety concerns — traffic and things like that — that are going to come up,” Noone said.

Nomination forms for the 2011 town election are avail-able now through March 10 in

the town clerk’s office. The last day to file nomination papers with the town clerk is Monday, March 28. The last day to with-draw from the race is Wednes-day, March 30.

For more information, stop by the town clerk’s office at Town Hall, 100 Center St., or call 781-293-7211.

Senate President Therese Murray has announced that the 66th annual Citizens’ Leg-islative Seminar will be held this spring on Tuesday, March 15 and Wednesday, March 16 from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

“The Citizens’ Legislative Seminar has been educating the citizens of the Common-wealth since 1976,” Murray said. “Participants will be able to hear senators explain the roles they play in government, and will have the opportunity to ask questions about legis-lative processes. It is a great opportunity for residents to get an in-depth perspective of state government.”

The seminar aims to edu-cate the public on the Com-monwealth’s legislative pro-cess. Established through a collaborative effort of the Sen-ate and the University of Mas-sachusetts, this two-day work-

shop features presentations by senators and staff on aspects of the day-to-day experience of legislators in the Common-wealth. These topics include the formal and informal legis-lative process, the budget, the parliamentary role of the Clerk of the Senate and issues facing the legislature.

The seminar culminates in a simulated legislative hear-ing and Senate session where participants are invited to use what they have learned about the Senate to fill the roles of senators in order to have a first-hand experience the leg-islative process.

All residents in the Plym-outh and Barnstable District are invited to contact Annalyce Shufelt at 617-722-1500 by Friday, Feb. 4 to be nominated by Senate President Murray. Participation is on a first come, first serve basis.

A cure for the common cold

By karen proctor, express coluMnist [email protected]

Recently, while waiting for a prescription to be filled at a local drug store, to alleviate the boredom I began to wander the aisles, looking at the different types

of over-the-counter medicines currently available to us. As we enter the 21st century, the variety is overwhelming. Today,

rather than just buying a remedy for a cough, we must now be able to determine whether the cough is dry and hacking, requires an

expectorant, is accompanied by a stuffy or runny nose, fever, body aches … the variety seems almost endless! And, often at $6 plus a bottle, you better not make a mistake.

When I finally made it home, the historian in me hurried to my bound volume of The Bryantville News, published at the beginning of this century, to see what kind of medications were available to our citizens 100 years ago. I was delighted, and amused at what I found.

It seems that, by far, the biggest sellers were cures for coughs and croup, as evidenced by the large number of “cures” for these ailments. Also interesting to note is the free use of hyperbole in the ads: Mrs. Foulsam’s Cough and Croup Balsam “is the great-est medicine on earth for children. It cures a cough in 10 hours and will convince you we tell the truth.” Hartshorn’s Cough Balsam was “for every throat and lung trouble. It cures when nothing else will. Honey is its base. It is known everywhere for purity, pleasantness, promptness and surety.” Mrs. Dinsmore’s Cough and Croup Balsam tugged on the heartstrings of parents everywhere with its ad — “The hoarse croupy cough which awakens the mother in the night, striking terror to her heart, is the unmistakable evidence of that dreaded malady, the croup.” It went on to warn parents to “Be prepared for this disease that attacks when stores are closed and doctors are in bed. Instantly cures the croup.” Cleveland’s White Pine Syrup was a little less dramatic in its advertisements — “It certainly is a good remedy for coughs, hoarseness and throat troubles — 25 cents a bottle.” Then there was this ad — the no-nonsense approach: Bauer’s Instant Cough Cure — 1 dose relieves; 1 bottle cures — 25 and 50 cents.”

One thing to notice — all the cough and cold cures had some type of evergreen elixir at its base — mostly balsam, but also white pine. So, based on historical research, my expert medical opinion is, for quieting coughs, go chew on a pine tree. It’s a lot cheaper than today’s cough remedies.

Karen Proctor is research director for the Historical Society. For details about these images, call 781-293-9083.

Congratulations to Anne Kelly, Fred Doyle, Robin Salazar, Chuck Crossley and Otis Hathon for correctly guessing the home at the corner of School and Mattakeesett streets in Bryantville as this week’s mystery picture. It was home to three local doctors — first Dr.Orlando Charles, who lived there until 1922, when it was then occupied by Dr. J. Edmund Brown. It was later remodeled by Dr. John Angley and his wife Florence. Historically, it has been called the “Doctors House” and the “Angley House.”

Valentine’s Day pancake breakfastBryantville Meeting House is hosting a Valentines Breakfast

on Sunday, Feb. 13 from 8:30-11:30 a.m. The menu will include pancakes, sausages and home fries, juice, coffee or tea, with hot chocolate for the kids. Cost is $5 for adults, $3 for kids and seniors, with a family maximum of $15. Advance ticket purchases are appreciated. For tickets, call Dick Nickerson at 781-293-3323 or Larry DeRoche at 781-826-8776. Tickets also available at the door. Since the Bryantville Meeting House (formerly the Grange Hall) located behind the Bryantville Fire Station opened one year ago, it has been the home to Boy Scout troops 43 and 105, the Lions Club and Pembroke American Legion Post 143. The goal of the Bryantville Meeting House is to provide a meet-ing place for member groups and other community groups.

Trivia BowlThe Friends of the Pem-

broke Library will present Trivia Bowl 2011 on Satur-day, Feb. 5 at the Pembroke Knights of Columbus Hall. Doors will open at 7 p.m. Cost is $150 per table of 10 or $20 per person.

Q u e S T I o N o F T H e w e e k By vanessa phaM

what is your favorite snow day activity?

Kathy Dubois Franklin Street

“I enjoy staying home by the fire. It keeps me warm.”

Jared Chaplin School Street

“Sledding, because it is really fun when you go fast.”

Cory Shaugnessey Anthony Drive

“Sometimes I ride the ATV on the frozen pond because I love the

thrill it gives me.”

Gabby Molignano Jessica Circle

“Every snow day, I try to get out and ice skate because it is active and I like to practice my tricks.”

Austin Malley Hemlock Drive

“Pond hockey, because it gives me an adrenaline rush.”

Soup’s on! Try this healthy alternativeJanuary is a time for fresh starts, and here’s a recipe

to help keep your promises. Did you resolve to eat healthier and/or lose

weight this year? Have a cup of veg-etable soup before dinner to fill you up and boost your vegetable intake.

Did you vow to be a better per-son? Take this soup to someone who is mourning, ill or just had a baby. It is both comforting and nutritious, and is vegan, dairy-free and gluten-free.

Looking to get out of a rut? Replace plain old tomato soup with this healthier alternative to serve alongside grilled cheese. Switch up the bread and cheese in your grilled cheese sandwich, or replace your grilled cheese sandwich with goat cheese crostini.

Vegetable soup1/4 cup olive oil 1 medium onion, chopped (1 1/2 cups)3 carrots, chopped (1 cup)2 celery stalks, chopped (1 cup)1/2 fennel bulb, chopped (1 cup)1 small broccoli crown, chopped (3 cups)2 small zucchini, chopped (2 1/2 cups)1 yellow bell pepper, chopped (1 cup)1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped2 cloves garlic, finely chopped64 ounces low-sodium V8 vegetable juiceSalt and pepper

About 20 fresh basil leaves, sliced into thin ribbons (chiffonade) for garnish

Heat olive oil in large stock or soup pot. Chop onion, carrot, celery, fennel, broccoli, zucchini and bell pepper into approximately 1/2 inch dice. As each vegetable is cut, add to the olive oil, starting with the sturdiest vegetables that bene-fit from longer cooking time (follow the order they appear in the recipe), and season with salt and pepper. Add thyme and garlic just before adding V8 juice. Simmer 20-30 minutes, garnish each serving with basil. Makes about 10 servings.

Note: Add or omit vegetables and herbs to your taste; frozen vegetables like corn and peas could easily be added for the final simmering.

Goat cheese crostiniAbout 20 slices from a loaf of French breadOlive oil, for drizzlingSalt and pepper4 ounces goat cheese

Spread bread slices on a cookie sheet or rimmed baking sheet and drizzle each side lightly with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toast in 400º F oven for 4-5 minutes on each side. Spread with goat cheese just before serving. Serves 10.

The insults flowed freely on Friday night at Oliveira’s

as Express Publisher Josh Cutler marked his 40th with a birthday roast.

Senate President Therese Murray, Selectman Arthur Boyle, Rep. Tom Calter and Treasurer Tom O’Brien took turns offering birth-day digs.

Ten-year-old Chris Cantwell manned the drums to offer a rousing “barummmpbumm-mmm” for any jokes that hit the mark. Audience members used their kazoos to razz those that didn’t.

At right, Matt & Beth York

helped organize the roast, which packed the room

at Oliveira’s Restaurant.

Jim and Linda McCollum and Liz Benotti stopped by the event.

At left, Selectman Arthur Boyle was the first roaster and set the tone for the night with a number of original jokes.

At right, Roastmaster Jim Cantwell

and State Rep. Tom

Calter both had a turn at

the micro-phone to offer

some good-natured rib-

bing at Josh’s expense.

The Tale of The Tape is a weekly column by sporTs ediTor dave palana. he can be reached by e-mail aT [email protected].

Where art thou, Chris Benoit?

This Sunday, I’ll be going to the WWE Royal Rumble at the TD Garden. The last time the Royal Rumble was in Boston back in 2003, the

best match in the history of the Rumble — and possibly of all time — took place, but it will likely never be seen again. It was a WWE championship match between Kurt Angle and Chris Benoit.

It will be four years this June since Benoit murdered his wife and son then killed himself over a three-day span.

In those four years, Benoit and his 20-plus year wrestling career have been erased more completely than I would have thought possible in this day and age. All video of his matches have been removed from WWE On Demand and no footage of him has appeared in any WWE videos or vid-eo games since his death. No photos of Benoit exist on WWE sites, and while his name still appears on their list of champions, WrestleMania XX where he won the championship is no longer for sale. The effect has been so

all-encompassing, even saying his name just doesn’t feel right — it’s as though he was a real life Lord Voldemort.

I don’t blame anyone for trying to erase him; I’m not even halfway through this column and I already don’t want to mention him again. But it has always made me uneasy for several reasons. First, if you delete the man then you delete the crimes, and that is not fair to his wife and son. Second, it’s not fair to the hundreds if not thousands of wrestlers whose work is now mothballed because they had the unfortunate luck of stepping in the ring with someone who turned out to be a murderer. As good as that match between Angle and Benoit was, I don’t know if I could ever watch it again, but other people are making up my mind for me. The same goes for the people who worked with Benoit for 22 years, many of whom had some of their career-defining moments in the ring with him — it’s their life’s work too that is being erased.

The third reason is because of the initial backlash against the wrestling industry following the Benoits’ deaths, many people still like to pin the blame on years of steroid and drug abuse. Benoit received illegal steroids, but the toxicology on his body showed nothing in his sys-tem contributed to his actions, and even the average CSI fan could tell you that you don’t ’roid rage for three min-utes let alone three days. However, the post-mortem brain scans showed that the 40-year-old Benoit had a brain simi-lar to an 85-year-old Alzheimer’s patient and compared similarly to football players Andre Waters and Terry Long, both of whom committed suicide after concussion-riddled NLF careers.

Whatever happened to make Chris Benoit snap, no one will ever know. But the fact of the matter is that Chris Benoit destroyed his own brain with years of taking chair shots, diving head-first into barricades and performing his trademark diving headbutt off the top rope and off the top of steel cages. How much it contributed to his actions will be speculation forever, but it’s hard to believe that demen-tia didn’t play a role at all given that level of damage.

It is for this reason above all we can’t erase Chris Benoit. Painting him as a ’roid-raging psychopath is just too easy and ignores the darker truth. His death and those of his wife and son represent the sad climax of the unfortu-nate marriage of high-impact, violent athletic careers and lack of respect for head injuries. If we try to hide him or not take his injuries as seriously as those of football play-ers because he took steroids and wore spandex, then we still don’t give the proper respect to what happened to his family.

The Tale of The TaPe

Time for timesTitan swimmers looking for qualifying marks as regular season ends with losses to Hingham

by dave palana, sporTs ediTor [email protected]

The league meet season came to a rough end for the shorthanded Pembroke swim teams in Hingham Tuesday night.

Both the Titan boys and girls teams were minus their usual complement of swim-mers, which cost them against talented Hingham teams. The boys lost 119-47 and the girls took a 110-58 loss.

“We were missing a few kids, and their boys team is very good,” head coach Bri-an Noyes said. “[On the girls side] we were down nine swimmers, but it will be fun to swim against them at the league meet because it will be a lot closer with everyone there.”

The Titans were not with-out a few bright spots in the losses. Brad Davison swam the 100-yard freestyle in one minute and two seconds, and Alex Lyons won the 50 free in 26.93 seconds. On the girls side, Jenn Salas showed her stamina in the pool when she won the 200 individual med-ley almost immediately after winning the 200 freestyle.

“She should get some props for that,” Noyes said.

The two Titan teams split their meet with Hanover last Thursday at the Percy Walk-er Pool in Duxbury with the boys beating the Indians 91-78 and the girls taking a 90-73 loss. Despite the loss, the girls swim team finished with

the best league record in their young history at 3-5 while the boys finished at .500 with a 4-4 record.

The focus for the swim-mers now shifts to the Patriot League meet on Feb. 5 in Mid-dleboro, which will be the last chance for the Titans to reach South Sectional qualifying times. Noyes said there is a chance for both the 200 med-ley and freestyle girls relay teams to reach sectionals and that there is a lot of competi-tion for spots. Rookie swim-mer Tamara Mitchell, who started the season learning the basics, has come on strong at the end of the season, and Noyes expects her to make a

bid for a relay spot.“She’s still learning the

flip turn, but she’s going to be a good swimmer for the next few years and she can help us,” Noyes said. “I have five girls I’m looking at for four spots and I think she is going to be one of them.”

Regardless of who makes the final cut, Noyes said the teams are going to have to put in the laps in the eight days be-fore the league meet to have a chance at reaching sectionals.

“We need to work hard because we’re behind,” Noyes said. “We need to refocus, and they’ve got eight days to really focus on training and starting working hard to be ready.”

Senior Jacob Skolnick races in the 200 individual medley. Skolnick ended his final Patriot League season with the Titans at .500 with a 4-4 record.

Senior captain Jenn Salas competes in the 200 individual medley race against Hanover on Thursday. Salas won both the 200 medley and 200 freestyle back-to-back for the Titans on Tuesday against Hingham and now shifts her attention to returning to the state sectional with the relay team.

Hot tempers hurt TitansPenalties plague Pembroke hockey in tie with North Quincy

by dave palana, sporTs ediTor [email protected]

The Titans remained unde-feated in league play at Hobo-mock Ice Arena on Saturday with a 2-2 tie of the North Quincy Red Raiders, but head coach Mark Duffy was not happy after the game.

The Titans took a 2-1 lead and a lot of momentum into the locker room after the first pe-riod, but seven penalties over the final two frames and 10 total prevented the Titans from playing even hockey for most of the game. Though North Quincy got the tying goal at even strength three minutes and 32 seconds into the third period, Duffy said the penal-ties helped keep his team off-balance and kept them from adding to their lead or getting the game-winner.

“It was a good tilt, but I think we took some undisci-plined penalties and it’s hurt us the last several games,” Duffy said. “We haven’t played a lot of five-on-five hockey, and it’s really starting to affect our play. We have a couple of guys we’re certainly going to have to talk to. We had about seven and a half minutes straight of five-on-five hockey where we were skating it well, but other than that, it just hurt the flow of the game.”

The action was fierce from the drop of the puck with two of the fastest skating teams in the Patriot League moving fast from blue line to blue line. The Red Raiders got on the board first after Colin Kulig intercepted a Pembroke pass in front of the Titan net and fired a shot past Kyle Jacobs 10:56 into the first period. The Titans pulled even when Mike Fall’s shot tipped off North Quincy goalie James Dunn’s pad and into the back of the net at the 12:21 mark and went ahead 17 seconds later when captain Paul Tower circled behind the net and slid a shot around Dunn’s dive.

As tempers started to flare

in the second period, the game became a battle of goaltenders. Both Dunn and Jacobs made big save after big save until Brenden Glynn got to a re-bound and fired it past Jacobs to tie the game early in the third. The two goalies contin-ued to match each other save for save until the final whistle, with Jacobs getting the final word when he made a diving blocker save on Mike Nelson’s breakaway bid with four sec-onds left in the game.

“He’s been our best penalty killer and I think he’s been our best player all around, and I think he showed that tonight,” Duffy said of Jacobs. “Four seconds left, they have a break-away and he has no panic. He forced the kid to the outside and makes a save that pushes the puck high and wide. He’s been there all year for us.”

The tie was the second of the season between Pembroke and North Quincy, who played to a scoreless tie on Dec. 18. The Titans will play a non-league game against Boston Latin on Saturday.

Barn burnerby dave palana, sporTs ediTor

[email protected]

With a tough week ahead of them, the Whitman-Han-son/Pembroke girls hockey team did whatever it took to come out of the Bridgewater Ice Arena with a win on Sat-urday.

Down 2-0 in the third pe-riod, the team scored three straight goals in the final frame to beat the Red Raid-ers 3-2 and improve to two games over .500.

Jackie Sullivan got the game-winner for WHP off assists from Alex Davis and

Kristy Kennedy. Davis had tied the game off an assist from Kennedy, who scored WHP’s first goal to start their comeback.

“Being down two goals, the girls showed a tremen-dous amount of control and poise,” head coach Joe Coulter said. “All three lines played great.”

Barnstable took a 1-0 lead in the second period and add-ed a goal in the third before WHP got on the scoreboard.

Coulter praised the ef-fort of captain Kelly Travers in net and the WHP defense keeping the team in the game long enough for the offense to come to life.

“Kelly Travers played a great game in goal making

some key saves,” Coulter said. “Ali Macleod had a great game on defense as did Tricia Stacy, Jess Govoni, Madeline Reardon.”

The team needed a cush-ion with a challenging week starting with games against

third-ranked Duxbury and second-ranked Fontbonne Academy on back-to-back nights on Wednesday and Thursday before they meet a Sandwich team that owns a 4-3 over WHP on Saturday night in Bourne.
