Thursday, March 17, 20112 Pembroke Express – Your Hometown Newspaper!

How did you decide to settle in Pembroke? My wife Sue and I moved here about 34 years ago because couldn’t af-ford to live in Hanover. Both of our sons, Jeffrey and Ja-son were raised in town. Ja-son is married and is living in Waltham. Jeffrey is in the Military Sea Lift Command and just surprised us by com-ing home after just leaving Singapore and Japan.

What was your first in-volvement in the town? I have been an elected official in town for 16 years and spent many others years serving in an appointed capacity. I started on the planning board and served for about four or five years. I had originally put my name in and interviewed for the Town Forest Commit-tee. When that didn’t happen, Frank Mallon asked me to put in for the planning board. I was appointed and then ran for the position. I also was on the Government Study and Open Space Committees, a library trustee and Selectman for nine years. I am currently on the Republican Town Committee.

What accomplishment in town are you most proud of? There is no single one and I would have to say there are four things that are at the top of the list. Being the chair-man on the library building committee was one. It was a very talented group of people and we came in under budget and on time. People still rave

about that building. Also, the purchase of Tubbs Meadow with the Open Space Commit-tee. The purchase price was $1.1M and, in the end, didn’t cost the town anything. That was a very dedicated group of people that I served with. The creation of the cash manage-ment committee was another. At the time, people did not understand why it was needed. It really helped and has been a good thing in managing the finances of the town. Final-ly, as a selectman there were times of dire financial condi-tions. I remember lying in bed on night at about 2 a.m. and I couldn’t sleep thinking about the town only having $35K in the bank and wondering what we were going to do. I am a fiscal conservative and being able to make the hard deci-sions to make it through those times was something that I am very proud of. The town has continued to do well since.

What is your role in the Republican town commit-tee? I attend our monthly meetings, discuss the issues with the group and help with fundraising and supporting our candidates. The group is very active. We have a pretty strong group of individuals.

Do you see the core val-ues of each party moving further to the left or right? I think the Democrats are com-ing more toward the middle. There are different theories on the Republicans. The Tea Party with some Republican values have moved further to the right. Talking with my Democratic friends, and be-lieve it or not, I do have some, we think it overall people are moving toward the middle. We are frustrated with how things are going at the State House or in Washington and think there is a time to move across the aisle. At the end, you have to do the right thing. Another thing that has gotten people very frustrated are bills being diluted with so many other non-related things. Pieces get added to a bill because some-body may not vote for it. The little side deals stuck into bills really bother people from both parties.

Would you ever consider running for office again? Yes. I am not a believer of some-body not staying in a position forever. You need to step back and tend to your personal busi-ness. I have spent the last sev-eral years watching my family grow older and finishing things around the house. I am also concerned about what I see out there. When I get involved, I get very involved and when I do it again, I want to make sure I have the time to dedicate to it. I am interested in a num-ber of different positions and ways to serve the town.

A visit with Bob DeMarzo

Those who know him would find it hard to believe but, Bob DeMarzo was once a democrat. In fact, he actually served as treasurer for the Young Democrats

for Ted Kennedy for President. While he has been out of public office for a few years, Bob has remained active at Town Meeting and supporting Republican candidates in the area. When asked about running for office in the future, there was no hesitation in saying absolutely. When pressed on which office, there was still no hesitation – Mayor of Pembroke. His former colleague on the Board of Selectman, Arthur Boyle would say he already has the job.

With winter trickling out and next year’s 300th anniver-sary on the horizon, Pembroke residents will join to play golf, for a good cause in a Golf Tournament May 14.

The tournament, which will take place at Pembroke Country Club, will have a 1 p.m. shotgun start.

Proceeds from the event will benefit the upcoming 300th anniversary celebration, to cover costs such as police coverage, fireworks and enter-tainment.

The golf tournament is $125 per player, which in-cludes 18 holes of golf, a cart and dinner.

“Those people that can’t make it to golf, or can’t play golf, they’ll have a supper for $35 for people who want to participate,” said selectmen chair Bill Boulter during their meeting Monday night.

Boulter is also the chair-man of the town’s 300th An-niversary Committee, which meets the first Tuesday of ev-ery month at Pembroke Coun-try Club.

Committee member Julie Thompson has been collecting raffle and auction items for the golf tournament dinner, and she’s hoping for a good turn-out.

“There are so many fund-raisers throughout the year that benefit many different great causes and organizations, but this one event is for all the people and groups and busi-nesses in Pembroke,” Thomp-son said. “Our town is getting better and better. Our schools, our property values, our var-ied and talented population all make Pembroke a wonderful, safe, pleasant place to live. By attending the golf tourney, or in most cases the party we’ll be hosting that night, a huge cross section of Pembroke will be represented.”

She said the night guar-antees fun for all attendees, as well as a few surprises. Thompson is researching pos-sible entertainment such as music or a comedian. There will also be a raffle or a live auction.

Pembroke businesses and organizations may also pro-

mote themselves by sponsor-ing one of 20 “spotlight” ta-bles at the golf dinner.

There will be a sign up flyer in the inserted section of the Pembroke Express April 8 issue.

For more information, to donate an item for auction or raffle, or to sign up for the golf tourney, the party following it, or to sponsor tables, call Thompson at 781-294-8332 or email her at [email protected].

In other news:The committee will partic-

ipate in an Antique Car Show on May 15, from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m., which would benefit the 300th anniversary through ad-mission fee, a food table and a product table.

The committee also plans to sell products at an upcom-ing farmers market.

The committee is also de-ciding between a North River canoe race or a treasure hunt with a historic theme. Neither plan is finalized.

A kick off event is in devel-opment for Jan. 15 at the Pem-broke Country Club. There will be films of the 275th anni-versary displayed at that time.

The Booklet Committee is developing a hard cover book, which will include topics of shipbuilding, Native Ameri-cans, Mayflower Grove, etc. Layout is scheduled for June through October, and in Octo-ber it is expected to go to print to be ready for Christmas.

A ball is being planned for June 16, 2012, with big band

music and the possibility of a horse and carriage ride at the ball.

A carnival is being planned for May, with more informa-tion TBD.

A parade is being planned for Sept. 23, 2012.

There will be a Herring Run Road Race with online registration.

Committee members are researching locations for cel-ebratory fireworks, as well as the means for a deposit. The cost would be $15,000.

Afghan raffled off for aspiring teachers scholarship

The committee respon-sible for the 23rd annual Ma-rie L Strothers Scholarship intended for aspiring teachers is raffling off a hand-made afghan with a retail value of $120 to benefit the scholar-ship program.

The drawing is expected to be held June 30, or around that date. Raffle tickets are one for $2, or six for $10.

The scholarship was es-tablished two weeks afer Strothers’ death in 1989, at the same time the Pembroke High School Library was dedicated to her, according to scholar-ship committee member De-nise Hawes of Pembroke.

Strothers was 48 years old and a member of the Pem-broke/Silver Lake Regional School committee.

“The community was shocked and deeply saddened by Marie’s untimely passing,” Hawes said. “She was a soft

spoken and kind woman who gave generously of her time and energy to the town, the cit-izens and especially the chil-dren, of Pembroke. Her three children attended Bryantville Elementary and that is where Marie’s devotion to commu-nity and volunteerism began. Marie’s passion for children and education was the inspira-tion for creating this scholar-ship for aspiring teachers.”

A committee that runs the scholarship program recently reorganized, and is planning

a first fundraiser by selling raffle tickets for a handmade Swedish weaving embroi-dered afghan with a Design Venice pattern, one hundred percent cotton, white monks cloth, acrylic yarn design in patterned blues.

Those wishing to purchase a raffle ticket may contact one of the committee members, Hawes, Pam Blades, Elizabeth Hawes Dever, Kelly Hawes Vitt, Janice Strothers Trant or Brenda Yaboub Armand.

To purchase raffle tickets by mail, send a request letter that includes a self-addressed, postage stamped envelope in-side, with a tax-deductible per-sonal check or money order.

Checks may be made out to: The Marie Strothers Schol-arship, and sent to Denise Hawes, 10 Alma Ave., Pem-broke MA 02359.

Hawes is available at [email protected].

Do you know the nick-name of the pirate Edward Teach? If so, give your an-swer to the Pembroke Public Library to enter a free raffle drawing for pirate themed gifts in honor of our town read of “Treasure Island” by Robert Louis Stevenson. Raffle baskets include Pi-rates of the Carribean brace-lets, puzzles, t-shirts and of course pirate books. Tickets and raffle baskets can be found at the front circula-tion desk. Winners will be announced March 31. Only one entry per person.

The Taste of Pembroke is celebrating it will be 10 year anniversary, and it’s bigger and better than ever.

The event will be held Sunday, March 27 from noon until 4 p.m. at the Pembroke Country Club. All proceeds will benefit the Titans Boys Ice Hockey Club and the Titans Boys Soccer Club.

More restaurants have signed on to participate this year, but the cost is still the same as the first year. Join in the fun and enjoy amazing food selections. Local restaurants will be giving away samples of their food and you can be the judge who decides who wins best breakfast, entree, salad, soup, appetizer, pizza and des-sert items. Local businesses will also be on hand to showcase their products and services. All of these generous businesses are the backbone to this successful event, and it could not have been put together without them. Support the PHS boys hockey and soccer clubs and please come hungry.

Tickets are only $5 in advance, $10 the day of the event. Tickets may be purchased at two locations this year. Sweet Fordy’s, 290 Center St. in Pembroke, or at Sovereign Bank, 175 Center St. in Pembroke. Last year over 800 tickets were sold so get yours early.

Andrew Peebles ➢ has gradu-ated from the PrepM program’s second session. Andrew leaves the program job ready and prequalified for a career in the medical device and healthcare industry.

Talking about recipes, ➢at a pot luck supper, not too long ago, Mary Doller made a strawberry salad, complete with the dressing. It received rave reviews from those in at-tendance. Everyone asked her if they would share the recipe with them – and she did. Don’t

forget to ask Mary to share the recipe with you when you see her around town.

I heard that ➢ Sheila Stock-bridge and Mary Lou Chase both had minor surgery. Be sure

to ask them how they are do-ing when you see them around town.

The March outing of the ➢Pembroke Red Hat Classy Lass-ies was planned by Carole Le-sieur. The Ladies will meet at Boston Bowl in Hanover for a morning of bowling. After the bowling session the ladies will gather for lunch at the Brim-stone Tavern in Pembroke.

A cruise can be so much ➢fun! I hear Mary Lou Whittle had a great time on a recent cruise that took her to Nassau among other places. She trav-eled aboard the Norwegian Jew-el and had so much fun with her family that she is ready to do it all over again.

Communicating by email can be a great ➢thing. Since I am a night owl I often send my emails when everyone else is asleep. Not long ago in the wee hours of the morn-ing when I was getting caught up on my email I had a surprise. After sending an email to a friend in England I received one back that said “Are you there, Bev-erly?” My reply was “Yes, Ronnie, I am here!” There is a five hour time differ-ence and the night owl and the early bird were doing the same thing at the same ex-act time. The next email read “Hi Beverly. I saw a recipe I would like to try. It comes from an American cook book. Can you tell me how much butter to use? The recipe says…….3/4 of a cup (1 and half sticks). Many thanks, Ronnie” In my re-ply I explained how we bought butter by the pound and what a stick of butter was equal to. Ronnie’s reply: “Hi Beverly, I think I have got the hang of it. We buy butter in half pound blocks, so if I cut the block in two, I have the equivalent of two sticks. For the recipe I can use one stick, and half of the second one. Right? Ronnie.” I was delighted I had at least one friend I could talk to when everyone else was asleep. And now let’s see what’s going on around town.

Since well before its incorporation in 1712, the town of Pembroke has been home to a wide variety of business and industry. Sites in all parts of town have served as locations for mills and the like, which produced such goods as iron nails and household furnishings, bricks, hats, satinette fabric and wooden boxes. One such site is the present location of the Gilbert H. West Box Factory office complex located on Route 53 (Wash-ington Street).

In 1810, Nathan Shepherd operated a mill used for cotton-wooling processing at this spot. Its location on the Pudding Brook made it an ideal place for mills which relied on water

power to operate. Around 1824, Calvin Shepherd turned it into a wooden box and saw mill. Many

years later, Calvin Shepherd turned the operation of the box factory over to his son-in-law James H. West. It was actually under the ownership of Gilbert H. West, grandson of James, that the mill enjoyed its greatest prosperity.

In its heyday, the factory employed 100 men. Whole families were imported from other places to work in the fac-tory. If housing wasn’t available, the company would give the employee lumber and plans and everyone would pitch in to help him build a house. Pleasant and Washington Streets were lined with these “box houses.” The close proximity to the factory allowed the workers to walk to their place of employ-ment. During this period, the factory would turn out about 1,000 boxes a day. They were made in all shapes and sizes of Pembroke white pine and were shipped all over the world, packed with other Massachusetts products like shoes from Brockton, cranberries from the South Shore and fish, nails and various beverages. During World War II, the factory ran two shifts supplying powder boxes for the war effort.

For more than 150, years the Gilbert H. West Box Factory remained in continuous operation with the exception of two periods of time when major fires destroyed buildings. The present structure was rebuilt in 1939 after a fire. The fac-tory closed its door in 1978, a victim of plastic and cardboard development. At that time the factory still employed about 30 workmen. In 1980, the property was purchased by Pembroke residents Burton Sherman and Robert W. Gillette, both direct descendants of Calvin Shepherd. Their original plan to convert the structure into a mini-mall had to be abandoned for econom-ic reasons. At that time, the need for office space in Pembroke prompted them to set their sights on a smaller office complex. Pembroke architect Donald Lonergan designed the rehabilita-tion of the building around its original unique architecture so that with very few exceptions, the building looks like it did when it was rebuilt after the fire of 1939. Today, the building houses a number of small businesses.

to Massachusetts as a way of bringing in revenue.

“I always enjoy coming to the Pembroke chamber; there are a lot of local businesses that are members and it’s im-portant for me to hear their concerns so I can bring them to Beacon Hill,” Webster said.

“It’s always a benefit to be able to exchange ideas with people so they see that gov-ernment is responsive to their needs,” Cantwell added.

Pembroke Chamber of Commerce President Dave Shea questioned both state representatives during Busi-ness Before Hours, Network-ing and Breakfast, which was hosted by Unicorn Realty of Norwell at Coorporate Park.

“We invite the neighboring chambers, Hanover, Norwell and Duxbury,” said Shea, of NewYork Life. “There’s a lot we do specifically for Pem-broke, but at the same time we’re trying to regionalize.”

Webster represents Pem-broke while Cantwell repre-sents Marshfield and Scituate. State representative Rhonda Nyman, who represents Ha-nover, Norwell and Rockland, had also been invited to at-tend, but said she was unable to make it.

Both Webster and Cantwell said they supported moving forward with the process of opening casino gambling in Massachusetts, though both said it should be done tact-fully.

Webster said casinos in Rhode Island are providing income to the state, and “we want some of that money here,” he said.

But Webster added that he has reservations with slot machines, though he said he wouldn’t vote against bringing casinos to the state.

Another hot topic was the sales tax, which is 6.25 percent in Massachusetts.

Cantwell said essentials such as food, oil, prescription

drugs, and some clothing are spared from the tax, which is why the tax is higher on oth-er items than in some other states.

Cantwell added that while residents critique Massachu-setts taxation for being higher than in other states, “you’re not comparing apples to apples,” he said, since many items that are taxed in other states are spared in this one.

Cantwell added that with-out taxation, services would be cut.

Webster and Cantwell also discussed healthcare plans, and ways to cut costs to spare services.

Cantwell said he recently supported a bill intended to cut benefits illegal aliens, ex-cept for health care and mental health care.

Hanson Selectman Da-vid Soper questioned Webster on his opinion in relation to a Group Insurance Commis-sion, which would offer lower insurance rates to cities and towns by providing it to a larg-er pool.

“The problem is, there are very few cities and towns that have opted into the GIC,”

Webster said.Seventeen Massachusetts

towns have opted in since it became available, he added.

If more cities and towns join, it would save them $100 to $200 million annually, Web-ster said.

And despite supporting joining GIC, Webster said he’s against a recent bill proposed by Gov. Deval Patrick which he said would force cities and towns to join the GIC if they are unable to provide health in-surance at cost, or less than the cost given to GIC members.

Chamber member Denece Clinton with Unicorn Realty said it’s good for business owners to speak with politi-cians who represent them at the state.

“Answers were delivered and that’s what they need, to see they’re not alone in this economy,” Clinton said. “We’re all here together.

Chamber secretary Ther-ese DiMuzio said that as a representative of Jump Back Baby Productions, a business that deals with music and en-tertainment, she will pass on healthcare information to her business associates.

Would you support a wind turbine in Pembroke?

Lorne Beane Plymouth Street

“Absolutely, because it’s work-ing for Hull. They have two wind turbines, and their electric bills

are basically nil. Sometimes they even have enough to sell back to

the electric companies.”

Matt WinnOldham Street

“Definitely, because we need to start utilizing alternative forms of energy, and that seems to be a

very efficient method.”

Brenda Smith Captain Torrey Lane

“Sure. They are green and envi-ronmentally friendly. They don’t use natural resources or fossil

fuels, and they don’t pollute. The only thing is that turbines are

aesthetically unpleasant so they need to be placed somewhere

agreeable to residents.”

James McDonough Washington Street

“I don’t think so. I’ve heard sta-tistics that say that wind turbines

don’t save enough money in energy to pay for themselves. But

I am no expert.”

John Valeri Pine Mill road

“I would support that because I think we should use cleaner

Thomas Tomasian, 75, a Pembroke resident of over six years, has pulled papers to run for constable in the April 30 Town Election.

As of last week, Tomasian joins candidates Robert “Dig-ger” Dorsey, John Peckham, Vincent Fla-herty, and Gary Fine in the race.

Tomasian earned a Bach-elors degree in law enforce-ment from Boston State Col-lege, Class of 1975, he said.

Tomasian was a resident of South Boston before mov-ing to Lake Street.

Tomasian said he garnered experience in serving papers, one of the requirements of a constable, while working as a Boston police officer for 26 years before retiring.

“I have experience doing arrest warrants, that’s more dangerous, arrest warrants rather than serving papers. Be-cause it’s civil and less likely to have trouble with violence.”

He said this is his first time running for a public position.

“I want to be active in lo-cal politics,” Tomasian said Monday. “I just want to be helpful,”

Tomasian has been a mem-ber of the Council of Aging for over two years, and is an active member with the Dull Men’s Group, which discusses current events in the town.

Tomasian also worked as a social worker at Action for

Boston Community Develop-ment (ABCD) for three years.

He said he enjoys visit-ing Pembroke’s library, where he donates books and reads newspapers.

“I just try to do things for people, but if someone wants a ride or needs something, I’m here to help and it’s something to do,” he said. “I thought I’ll do it I have plenty of time and

I want to help,”Tomasian said he is friends

with several of his competi-tors, and he noted that they are all viable candidates.

“Things couldn’t go wrong no matter who you vote for, they seem like good guys,” Tomasian said. “But even if I wasn’t elected I would still help out if they need it.”

At Monday night’s Plan-ning Board meeting, repre-sentatives for Rocky’s Ace Hardware met with the board to iron out the sign issue.

“I feel like we are caught in the middle a little bit,” said Fred Allen, of Rocky’s Ace Hardware. “We were under the impression that a permit for the sign went out, and we invested in the sign, and now we’re finding out it wasn’t in the original plan … We want to make sure we’re doing the right thing, but at the same time it has been a pretty sig-nificant investment for us to this point.”

When the hardware store initially brought their site plans to the board, there had been no sign on the side of the building, which faces Center Street. The sign that has been installed on the side of the building violates the Center Protection Act.

“Unfortunately, it never came before this board for

approval,” said Irving. “We would have liked to have seen it prior, then we could have said ‘Gee, you shouldn’t put that second sign up.’”

Under the Zoning By-Laws, two signs are allowed, one on the face of the build-ing and one on the pylon. The Planning Board has allowed Rocky’s one extra sign on the pylon, which they thought should be adequate.

When the application for the sign, the person who filled it out checked “no” when asked if this were located in the Center Protection District when it actually is. When the building inspector signed the permit, he did not check to see if the board had approved.

“When it came over [to the building inspector’s office], it was checked that it was in cen-ter protection, so we signed the application, and we didn’t check with this board to make sure [the second sign] was specifically signed off,” said George Verry.

“We thought we were do-

ing the right thing when the permit was approved, not knowing that it wasn’t in the original bylaws, or the center protection, or the original site plans … It was a few thousand dollar investment in that sign,” said Allen.

“It is not our intent to hold up this project, but we feel that you have to follow the rules and regulations,” said Irving.

Ultimately, the board does not have the ability to say yes to this sign. The company would have a couple of op-tions to explore: Take the sign down; create another sign that complies with the CPA; or go to the Zoning Board of Ap-peals for a variance.

“If the sign were more ap-pealing, the board would then generate a letter [for the ZBA] and not question the fact that the sign is going up,” said Bri-an Van Riper.

The board recommended they try to get the variance from the ZBA for the current sign before the other alterna-tives.

“We’re hoping he does stay,” Bosworth said.

Bosworth said that in the almost four years that Hack-ett has been Pembroke’s su-perintendent, he’s established curriculum councils which include teachers, to design les-son plans for students based on MCAS standards and as-sesment tools developed by Pembroke faculty.

“He’s brought a leadership in the area of academic achiev-ment,” Bosworth said. “He re-ally ensures that the overall education and the quality of education is evident in all ar-eas, not just in the classroom. He’s really supported extra curricular activities includ-

ing sports, band, he was really instrumental in setting up af-ter school programs at the el-ementary schools.”

Bosworth added Hackett specializes in assuring that students are successful by ad-dressing them and their needs individually.

“As a committee we’d be very sad to see him leave,” Bosworth said.

Bosworth said Hackett was unable to return calls Tuesday as he was in Barnstable meet-ing with their school commit-tee members.

Co-chair of the Barnstable search committee Margeaux Weber, who is also a Barnsta-ble school committee member, said Wednesday morning she

had interviewed Hackett Tues-day evening, along with the other two finalists.

“Next Thursday night we’ve scheduled a meeting to vote and appoint the next superintendent,” Weber said. “We had some highly quali-fied people applying for this position. And we looked at the overall experience and qualifi-cations.”

Barnstable received 26 applications and narrowed it down to seven semi-finalists who were interviewed by the search committee. The search committee then chose three finalists, who were then inter-viewed by the full school com-mittee for the first time Tues-day night, Weber said.

When Americans woke up the morning of March 11, images of cars floating down Japanese streets flooded the local news chanels. One woman waved a white flag from the top window of her home, which was completely engulfed in water follow-ing a massive 8.9 magnitude earthquake and a tsunami that rolled over streets and homes like a scene from a movie.

From their homes half a world away, Americans took to social media sites like Face-book and twitter to share their concerns and look for ways to help.

The Red Cross is accept-ing $10 donations by texting “REDCROSS” to the number 90999, but this week, select-men decided to set up a fund right at the Pembroke Town Hall.

That way, according to selectmen chair Bill Boulter, the funds would directly ben-efit the people in Japan who need it, and not be misdirected through a scam.

“You just have to be care-ful of where you send it,” Boulter said. “We will make sure it gets to the right people over there.”

Boulter said they plan to make a list to recognize Pem-broke residents who donated to the cause at the town hall.

Boulter added that the tragedies in Japan have put this winter’s storms into per-spective.

“If you people see what happened in Japan and the tragedies in the world… it’s kind of a minute thing for us to be without power for a cou-ple hours,” Boulter said.

Susan Budak Runne of Pembroke later said she she sympathizes with Japanese workers who are working in the aftermath of the disaster.

“Today I can’t stop think-ing about the people still at the nuclear plants trying to contain the chaos and all the emergency people trying to do their jobs and yet they probably have families too,” said Runne. “They need our prayers.”

Regina Maggiore owns a holistic massage salon in Pembroke, practicing Reiki, polarity therapy, crystal heal-ing and angel readings. She said she believes it would be helpful to send out positive thoughts as is taught in Reiki.

“The devestation and trag-edy that hit Japan last week is on everyone’s mind, all over the media stations, newspa-pers etc.,” Maggiore said. “Most people I talk to are dwelling on the death and de-vestation. Me, not so much. What the people of Japan need is our healing prayers and thoughts. Not feeding into the death and destruction of it all.

Let’s focus our thoughts and prayers to something positive, like sending healing words and thoughts to Japan and the families.”

After the tsunami, Mag-giore visited Nantasket Beach to send out thoughts of love, healing and Reiki to the peo-ple of Japan who were directly affected by the loss, she said.

The Pembroke Town Hall is located at 100 Center Street, and available at 781-293-7211.

“I took the decision very seriously,” she said. “It took me until then to make that de-cision, with a lot of prompting from people who have given me a lot of support as well. My goals are to put a voice in there for the people of the town.”

Boyle said Tuesday he be-lieves the current board has been successful, as is apparent from no significant budgetary cutbacks despite no Prop 2 ½ override proposals in nine years.

“I think this race is about experience, I think it’s about budget knowledge and the workings of town govern-ment,” Boyle said.

“I think given the com-plexity of the budget, and the fact that I’ve been here nine years and we’ve gone from $16,000 in the rainy day fund up to $1.7 mill shows the cur-rent Board of Selectmen work as a team and has done a good job with fiscal restraints. In my opinion we’re one of the best run towns on the South Shore,” he said.

In addition to working for veterans services, Whitman has worked in the board of health office, the collector’s office, part time in selectmen’s office, and assisted in the DPW when workers were away on

vacation, she said.In preparation for the se-

lectmen race, she has been studying budgetary issues, she said.

“Because I’ve worked in the town, I know maybe where we can save some money,” she said.

Although only 50 signa-tures were required to run, she said she garnering nearly 100 from Pembroke residents, tak-ing time to speak to them about town issues.

“One of the biggest things, when I was collecting my sig-natures, is the roads here in town,”she said. “That’s like their number one complaint of everything. That is a DPW is-sue and I believe they will deal with it because there is a brand new board and they’re going in a positive direction.”

Whitman added that she would work to support DPW commissioners in their efforts to improve Pembroke roads. She is also the wife of DPW commissioner Paul Whitman.

“It has to be a team effort,” she said. “Common sense ap-proach to government is really

my goal.” Paul, a 13-year resident, is

also running. He said he want-ed to see more options on the ballot. He has an associate’s degree in business and ran a welding machine shop in Law-rence for about 25 years. This is his first time running for a public position.

Hobomock Elementary goes ‘international’By ABBy Thompson

ExprEss conTriBuTor

More than 30 Hobomock Elementary students per-formed in the sixth annual International play on March 9 at 7p.m. Parents, teachers, faculty and

family members piled into the Hobomock cafeteria to enjoy the opening night of this year’s production, “Mission Inter-national.”

Written, casted and directed by Marianne Pekrul and Di-anna Flaherty, this year’s performance boasted an entirely unique storyline. Centered around the robbery of a famous painting from the Museum of Fine Arts, the script brings a group of unlikely agents together in search of the priceless artwork. The characters are transported through Canada, Ice-land, England, France and the Czeck Republic to catch the alleged thief. Arriving at each destination, the unsuspecting ‘spies’ uncover the traditions of five previously undiscovered cultures.

Sixth grader Emma Valeri played Lily, a spoiled agent whose fabulous style and high maintenance makes for tons of laughs. She found her experience to be a positive one, and she said the message yielded from it was one of importance. “Maybe when they’re older, people will get to travel to these places and they’ll have the background knowledge,” said Valeri, who plans to stick with acting.

Although the ‘International play’ remains a student-acted, educational program, this year’s play did have some exciting changes.

“It had more dance and music and intrigue. I liked this one the best,” said Kate Goodman, mother of thespian Timo-thy Scully.

Along with more dance and music numbers, (including a cancan routine and several “Mission Impossible” interludes) this year’s production also displayed the talent of more boy actors than in previous years.

“We had some great talent, we didn’t even have to recruit [the boys]. We had another play revolving around a family winning a vacation around the world, which was last year. And I think when the kids saw that they were like ‘I want to be in the play, I want to do that next year’,” said co-director Caitlin Pekrul about the surprising number of boy actors.

One such actor is Brendan McLaughlin, who plays the alleged “thief,” Alex.

“I just like it, its fun being around your friends and act-ing,” said McLaughlin, whose performance career has only just begun.

“I noticed a lot more boys participating and there’s a lot of better technology. It’s always been good, but this year it’s re-ally great,” said junior Brittany Baillie, who noticed both the expanse in male participation and the newer microphones.

Filming the event were Pembroke High School seniors Tim Cahill and Matt Rindini, who also created a visual slide-show of pictures (accompanied, of course, with fitting ‘007’ theme music).

“This program has definitely matured a lot and I think the shows going to get better every year,” said Cahill, who starred in the first ever Hobomock ‘International play’.

Even with less time to rehearse, the players pulled through to create an entertaining, clever and enlightening produc-tion.

“I thought it was great. They worked really hard and we didn’t have as many practices because we had a lot of snow days, but they stepped it up. They knew they had less time and I thought it was one of our best.” said Pekrul.

Hobomock teacher, Mrs. Becker (the singing hockey announcer) and the ‘Canadiens’ sing an original hockey jingle.

”Misty” the Maid of the Mist tour guide, played by Emily Rogers, leads a group of tourists.

Brendan McLaughlin (Alex) and Tim Scully (Bob) listen as tails of the spy’s journeys are retold.

Hobomock Elementary principal Donna McGarrigle enjoys the performance.

Justin Pijanowski, a Canadian Mountie, and Emma Valeria, the spoiled sidekick ‘Lily’.

Nicole Keeley (“Babicka”) and Sara McKenna are shocked to discover Alex was accused of theft.

Emma Valeri (Lily) is all smiles after her star studded perfor-mance.

Veteran actor Brendan McLaughlin plans to continue his acting career in the upcoming years.

The championship season for the Pembroke girls indoor track team came to an end at the New Balance Indoor Na-tionals in New York City over the weekend.

The 4x400 meter relay team of Becky Stoyle, Mi-chelle Coate, Michaela Ng and Mary Scanlan finished 25th in the nation in their event, and freshman Katie Freitas made a splash in the freshman 400 meters, where she took 28th.

Freitas ran the 400 in 64.809 seconds to cap a strong start to her career as a Titan.

“Katie did a great job run-ning at the biggest meet of the year,” said coach Jim Rooney, who was at the meet as a spec-tator. “Being a freshman on this big a stage can be nerve-wracking but she gained some quality experience and this won’t be her last trip to na-tionals.”

The relay team was a little of their school record time from two weeks ago, but still

came close to breaking four minutes again, finishing the race in 4:00.32. While Rooney said the girls were disappoint-ed with their time, he said it didn’t take away from a stellar indoor season.

“The relay team had a great season that they capped off at the national meet,” he said.

“Their time might not have been their best of the year, but they competed against the best in the country and more than held their own. The coaches are very proud of them.”

The Titans will now get ready for the spring season, which will begin the first week of April.

SENIOR MOMENTS

Stacy just finished her fourth season with the WHP hock-ey team as one of the team’s two assistant cap-tains and a league all-star. She also made the

MIAA tournament with the volleyball team this fall, and hopes to make it a third time this school year with the softball team this spring before going to college. She shared her thoughts on …

… deciding on a school. I don’t know where I’m going to college yet, but I know I’m going to study early childhood education. I want to go to Nichols, Plymouth State or URI mainly because of hockey. I really want to play hockey next year.

… early childhood education as a major. I’ve al-ways wanted to work with little kids every since I started babysitting.

… playing hockey. I started after I watched my broth-er play for a while. My parents just stuck me on skates, and I’ve been doing it ever since. I like working together as a team. This year, all the girls got along and were all so closed, and I liked that.

… helping to start the WHP team. It was difficult because we didn’t have any fans or support, so we had to raise all the money ourselves. The school couldn’t support us, so we had to do everything ourselves.

… her favorite memory at PHS. Definitely going to the Garden. It was very chilling because I couldn’t even imagine going there to play a game.

… how she spends her free time. I hang out with my friends mainly, and I have a job, so I’m there a lot.

… her goals after high school. I just want to go to college and be successful in life.

kill right away.”It was a long time coming

for the Titans, who were foiled twice in the tournament in the last four years by the archrival Scituate Sailors and then suf-fered an overtime defeat to Ashland in the tournament last season.

“It feels incredible,” Duffy said. “I think you could see by the emotion on the ice that the kids feel really good about this.”

Waterfield also kick-started Pembroke’s comeback when he poked the rebound off Tom Cahill’s shot through the five-hole of Westwood goalie Chris Treon. Minutes later, Tower lit the lamp when he corralled the rebound off a Matt Allen slap shot and fired it past Treon at the 12:12 mark in the third to tie the game.

“We knew what was on the line,” Waterfield said. “In the locker room [between the second and third periods], all our seniors said, ‘This could be the end or this could be his-tory.’ We decided we’re not going home. We’ve blown it in the past, but this was our time.”

It seemed fitting that Wa-terfield and Tower scored the big goals for the Titans in the final game of the South Sectional. Along with fellow captain Matt Sheehan, Pem-broke’s first line accounted for 23 goals and 29 assists and the Titans’ five tournament games.

“That line has been phe-nomenal,” Duffy said. “They have led the way for us. They’re seniors; they’ve been here for four years and they lead by example.”

While Pembroke’s offense had been prolific through the first four tournament games, Treon and the Westwood de-fense had the Titans stymied for the first two periods. For the first time in the tourna-ment, the Titans found them-selves trailing after the first period when a rebound kicked to Wolverine forward Bren-

dan Skehill, who put it into the corner of the net before Pembroke goalie Kyle Jacobs could slide across the crease. Westwood took advantage of a Pembroke mistake to pad their lead in the second when Brett Egizi picked the pocket of a Pembroke defender and fired a shot under Jacobs’ glove 39 seconds into the period.

Things looked even worse for the Titans in the second when they had to kill nearly a minute of a five-on-three Westwood power play and Westwood continued to get quality looks at the net only to be turned away by Jacobs.

“Kyle has made some big

saves for us all year, and the one thing I can honestly say about him is he’s always been there to make the big save at the right time,” Duffy said of Jacobs. “These guys know what they’ve got behind them in Kyle. They’ve seen it all year long, so they know they can lay it on the line because they’ve got somebody back there who is going to pick them up.”

When the Titans were able to mount some offense, Treon was there to stop one-timers and open looks by the Titan forwards.

“For two periods, I don’t think we really played our game,” Duffy said. “We came out in the third period and started attacking the net. The boys made a decision that we were going to play Pembroke hockey plain and simple.”

Even when the Titan of-fense woke up in the third pe-riod, Westwood continued to attack Jacobs’ net only to be turned away by the keeper and strong back-checking by the Titan defenders, led by Allen.

“He’s just such a physical presence out there,” Duffy said. “He’s tough to play against as an opposing forward. He’s tough to play against in the corners; he’s tough to play against in front of the net; he’s just intimidating.”

The Titans will see a major overhaul next season with all three goalies, two defensemen and five forwards graduat-ing this spring. While the loss will leave a bitter taste in their mouths for a while, Duffy said his senior class should hold their heads high with what they accomplished in their fi-nal season.

“Most of those guys have

been varsity players for four years and they are part of this legacy,” Duffy said. “They’ve been through some tough times here, and they did it. They helped push us over the top. As difficult as it is to have a loss like this when you’re one game away from going to the Boston Garden, this team went further than anyone ex-pected, I think it’s the best team we’ve ever put on the ice in Pembroke.”

Duffy also thanked the fans for their support for the team. Throughout the tourna-ment, the Pembroke faithful made the trips to Bourne and to Boston in force to cheer on the Titans, and Duffy said their efforts and enthusiasm were appreciated.

“It’s been absolutely amaz-ing,” he said. “Throughout the regular season and now in tour-ney time, it’s been amazing to see the number of people who have come out. Friends, neigh-bors, family, the town has just been tremendous in support of the hockey team.”

Until Dempsey’s goal, the game against Headers was eerily similar to Pembroke’s South Sectional championship win on Sunday in Bourne. Af-ter being outshot, outskated and largely outplayed for two periods by Westwood, the Ti-tans stunned the Wolverines with two power-play goals in the first two minutes of the third period to tie the game.

Waterfield delivered the knockout blow two minutes and 33 seconds into the sud-

den death overtime period to give Pembroke a 3-2 victory in the South Sectional finals and their first South Sectional championship.

Waterfield was at the end of a shift when fellow captain Paul Tower fed him the puck for his game-winning shot, but said there was no way he was going to just dump the puck and get off the ice.

“I knew I wanted the shot, I just didn’t know if I had the stamina in me to keep going,” Waterfield said. “I just remem-ber going as fast as I could down the right side as fast I could, made a quick move to the right side let a shot go and

hoped for the best. I thought it was a decent shot, but that goalie was good. I just saw it trickle in top right. I’ve never had a bigger goal. I can’t even describe it. It’s awesome.”

“He was gassed,” head coach Mark Duffy said. “He was at the end of a shift and he just gave that little extra effort to drive to the dot, and man did he fire that into the net. We said in the one-minute timeout before the overtime period that we wanted to end it in the first two minutes. We knew they were flat and we knew we just had to go for the

When the Marblehead Headers went up 2-0 on the boys hockey team midway through the second period, the Titan fans chanted, “We have seen this.” When Cavan Fitzgerald scored with a low wrister in the third, the Pem-broke faithful exploded, sure they were about to see another miracle comeback.

But lightning would not strike twice for the Titans.

Two days after mounting a three-goal comeback to win the South Sectional championship, Pembroke fell one goal short in the state semifinals, losing 3-2 to Marblehead at Harvard Uni-versity on Tuesday night.

After the Headers dominat-ed the first two periods, Pem-broke stormed out for the third period with three quick shots, equaling their total from the second period. Pembroke con-tinued to attack, and Fitzgerald was able to break through with 9:04 left in regulation when he skated the puck into the Mar-

blehead end and fired a shot under the glove of the Header goalie.

The Titans then got their first power play of the game three minutes later when Marblehead was called for too many men on the ice. But the Headers were not only able to kill the penalty, they got a two-on-one breakaway when the puck trickled to their man coming out of the box behind the Pembroke defense. Goalie Kyle Jacobs made the ini-tial save, but Ryan Dempsey poked in the rebound to put the Headers back up by two with 4:19 to play.

Captain Chris Waterfield made it a one-goal game again with 3:04 to play when he skat-ed hard to the net and found the gap under the glove of the Header goalie before crashing hard into the end boards. The Titans pulled Jacobs two min-utes later for the extra attacker, and had three shots in the final minute, but could not get the equalizer.

“The conversation be-tween the second and third period was that we had been there before and we believed in each other,” head coach Mark Duffy said. “We knew

we could skate with the best of them and the kids did a good job. They left everything out there on the ice.”

Pembroke’s 13 shots on goal in the third period was almost double their total from the first two periods combined. The Headers held the Titans to four shots in the first period and three in the second while pounding Jacobs with 32 shots in the first two frames.

“It was a combination of us not getting our wheels go-ing and getting speed through the neutral zone, but also they gapped us,” Duffy said of the Headers. “They took away time and space and were all over us, at least for the first two periods.”

The Titans started the

game with some quality chances in the Marblehead end, but a scrum in front of the Titan net ended with both Matt Sheehan and Matt Allen taking crosschecking penalties and forcing Pembroke to play a minute and a half of five-on-three hockey. Pembroke killed the penalties, but their offense couldn’t recover from the loss of momentum. With 2:36 to play in the period, the Headers took the lead when a rebound ricocheted across the net and was poked in by a Marblehead forward before Jacobs could get there.

“That [five-on-three] completely turned the game around,” Duffy said. “We had some good looks early, but we could not get that momentum

back, at least until the third period.”

The Headers picked up right where they left off in the second period, putting pres-sure on Jacobs and the Pem-broke defense for most of the period while clogging the Titans’ passing and shooting lanes. They added their second goal off another rebound with 7:50 to play in the period, but Jacobs denied them on several more open shots, making 16 saves in the period.

“Kyle was phenomenal especially in those first two periods,” Duffy said. “He was a stone wall back there and he gave us a chance. That’s what he’s done for the last two years. He’s done a tremendous job.”
