The state primary will beheld on Tuesday, Sept. 14.Polls at all ve Pembroke pre-cincts will be open from 7 a.m.to 8 p.m.

Town Clerk Mary AnnSmith said she is anticipating

a low turnout for the primary,in part because residents mustdeclare a party when voting.

“I checked the numbers forthe primary three years ago,and throughout the town wedidn’t even have 3,000 peoplevote,” Smith said. “But theelection in November is goingto be big.”

Voters will be choosing agovernor, lieutenant governor,U.S. Congress representative,Plymouth County Sheriff andseveral other leaders at thestate election. The last dayto register to vote in the state

election is Oct. 13.

The average director makes his rst feature lmby age 28 or 30. Alex Thompson hopes to beatthat by at least a few years.

The 19-year-old Pembroke native is well on his waywith his current project, a “mini-feature” that runs about 45minutes but has a lot of the marks of a feature lm, includ-ing an international team of actors and crew.

“We have people from all over the world attached tothis, which is both invigorating and very novel to someoneon my level, because they all take the script very seriously,”said Thompson, a 2008 Pembroke High School graduate.“I spent about three and a half years revising it. I started

A visit with Karen TraceyBy Mike tropeano

express contriButor

S

tarting a new busi-ness in any economicenvironment can be

difcult. Karen Tracey is up forthe challenge and has decidedto apply her years of manage-

rial experi-ence to anew ven-ture, FloorCoveringsInternation-al. Working

out of a newly opened ofce inCorporate Park, her companyspecializes in working withcustomers to design any typeof oor covering for a home.

What is Floor Coverings

International? Floor Cov-erings International is a fullservice ooring company thatis internationally operated yetlocally owned. I own the Pem-broke business. We provide acustomized experience fromthe initial consultation throughdesign and implementation. Wehave a full-time design consul-tant who spends time learningabout the individual needs of the customer. This helps usbring the right samples to thecustomer’s home. You don’twant to have a bamboo oorinstalled with a large dog, ora loop carpet with a cat thatloves to claw.

You have a backgroundin nancial services. Why didyou choose to make such abig career switch? I have al-ways wanted to go into busi-ness for myself. I have beenvery successful in the nancialservices industry. I have been aprincipal with Scudder Stevensand Clark, senior vice president

with Federated Investors andan executive with DST Sys-tems. I have been responsiblefor 500 people working in vari-ous states, responsible for ser-vicing clients with over $200billion in assets under manage-ment. It has been a great career,and I have no regrets.

I was faced with tough bud-get cuts and, quite frankly, hadno one left but myself to cut.I had a frank discussion withmy boss and we made the rightdecision. I knew in DecemberI would be leaving the rm inFebruary. I gave my all until theday I left. We had an amicableparting of the ways. I took theopportunity to reevaluate andmade the decision to go intobusiness for myself. The onlyquestion was, what? I workedwith a franchise coach, BettyAnne Fortunato. She was greatand helped me make this tran-

sition. Once I saw the productand met the team at Floor Cov-erings International, the deci-sion was easy. They providegreat support and have taught

me so much. I am looking for-ward to growing this businessand plan on being in this forthe long term. I love workingand meeting with customersand trying to work within theirbudgets to provide them withthe ‘wow’ factor they deserve.

How challenging is it toopen a business in the cur-rent economic state? Whatare some of the things youare doing to promote yourbusiness? This is a tougheconomy. I thought long andhard about going into this

business and did my home-work. People are careful withtheir money, and who canblame them. We add value tothe home and make them feelbetter about their environment.However, getting the word outis a challenge. The Internet isnow such a primary source forfolks looking for services. Wespend a signicant amount of our marketing budget on Inter-net presence. We have Internetpop-up ads and try to optimizesearch results. We really arenot a walk-in business, as we

come to the home and helpfolks make selections in theirown home where they can seethe immediate impact of theirchoices.

Why did you select Pem-broke to locate your newbusiness? Pembroke is closeto home and the location iscentral to so many locations. Itis a great town. We are locatedright off the highway on OakStreet.

M

any peopleshowed up inPoint Pleasant,

N.J. on Friday, Aug. 27 tocheer on the JettRiders as theymade their way toward theAtlantic Ocean and the end of their journey to end Duchennemuscular dystrophy.

JettRiders made their waydown Ocean Avenue towardthe boardwalk accompaniedby police and re escorts.People from local shops alongthe road lined the streets tocheer them on as they passedby. Leading the procession intheir power chairs were Jett

McSherry and Troy and An-drew Chauppetta. Troy andAndrew are the twin brothersof JettRider Elizabeth Chaup-petta of Brockton.

JettRiders walked theirbikes down the beach, dip-ping their tires in the ocean,then jumped into the ocean tocelebrate. There were lots of hugs and tears. Carol Vaccaroof the Point Pleasant BeachChamber of Commerce cameout to give a proclamation de-claring Aug. 27, 2010 to beJettRider Day.

The JettRiders continuedtheir celebration at a receptionat Martell’s Restaurant on theboardwalk. The Jett Founda-

tion was honored to welcomemore than 15 boys with Duch-enne and their families to theevent, and each received anhonorary JettRide medal. Jett

Foundation founder and Jett’smom Christine McSherrysaid a few words express-ing her gratitude for what theJettRiders have done as wellas thanking all of the familiesfor being there.

Tour leader Arlen Hallpresented each rider with theirJettRide medals. Everyone en-

joyed a lunch and slide showpresentation documenting theJettRiders’ time on the road,then it was time to leave. Eachrider left with their families,heading back home and back

to school.Each and every one of these JettRiders are true he-roes. They are ordinary peoplewho did something extraordi-nary. They gave up their sum-mers away from their familiesand friends to cross the coun-try spreading their messageabout Duchenne musculardystrophy.

JettRiders celebrate reaching the end of their long cross-country bike ride to raise awareness ofDuchenne muscular dystrophy. As is tradition for a cross-country bike tour, the cyclists dipped theirwheels (and themselves) in the Atlantic Ocean to mark the ride’s conclusion. Crtesy pht

ing company that discoveredthe algae problem and thatstate ofcials had not gotteninvolved.

“It was found as part of the regular testing that we do,”Cullity said of the algae.

Blue-green algae, alsoknown as cyanobacteria, maycontain toxins that are harmfulto pets and humans who comein contact with it. At certainlevels, the toxins can causeskin and eye irritations, respi-ratory problems and gastroin-testinal problems if ingested.

Town beaches, includ-ing the Stetson Pond beachon Plymouth Street, are open

from Memorial Day weekendthrough Labor Day weekend.While open, the Board of Health tests all the ponds forbacteria and other possiblehealth concerns.

The ponds are not tested inthe off-season, and local of-cials have no plans to changethat policy because of the al-gae found in Stetson last week,Cullity said.

However, if funding ismade available for further test-ing, the board could continuemonitoring Stetson, she said.

Whether you’re a parent planning for a child’s edu-cation or a small business owner poised for growth,

one thing’s for certain — there’snot much you can control aboutthe future. And when you add thebackdrop of a turbulent econ-omy, it may be difficult to eventhink about making long-term

plans for yourself, your family or your loved ones.

But one key to moving forwardmay be securing a level of finan-cial protection against life’s un-

certainties, for however long you need it. Term lifeinsurance can help provide that protection.

As many households are juggling multiple obliga-tions including mortgages, auto loans and educa-tional expenses, the prospect of leaving loved onesburdened with those responsibilities can be par-ticularly overwhelming. All these concerns can beaddressed in ways tailored to what you and your

family can afford. Term life insurance providescoverage at a level you choose, for a period of time you designate. For young families or single par-ents, term policies are an accessible path to secu-rity. And, as your financial circumstances changein the future, a term policy can be easily upgradedto permanent insurance to cover your long-termgoals and dreams.

Let’s face it. You can’t be prepared for everything.But a term insurance policy might help you planfor more than you realize.

future. Fifteen years ago, I gradually start-ed to let go of a few of my no longer usedbelongings. I rst asked my children if there was anything they would like.Then I put aside a few (well, maybe alittle more than a few) of the items I

just couldn’t part with. But little by lit-tle I have been giving my things to theSalvation Army, Big Brothers Big Sistersand the veterans. Actually, truckloads of “very useful things” have left the premises over the past year. Istill could not detach myself from some special items I had beenholding onto for years. Just as I had gotten up the courage to letgo, lo and behold, I received a phone call the other day from mygrandson, Kian. He asked me if I still had his mother’s ute. Hetold me he had an opportunity to learn how to play it and becomea member of the school band. I immediately made a trip to the

attic. There I found one almost new, shiny and sparkling DeFordute with case — both in mint condition. I was ecstatic that afterall these years my theory had nally come true.

Get ready forfall migration

By skip cornell, express coluMnist skip@peMBrokexpress .coM

Hot Spot of the Week: Three hundred feet of watereast of Stellwagen Bank for cod shing.

Tip of the Week: Get ready for the fall migra-tion — be sure to check all your shing gear.

Coastal Report: Wow! Here comes big, bad and danger-ous Hurricane Earl! There goes wimpy, less-than-a-Nor’easterstorm Earl. Everyone was watching the weather reports and pre-paring for the worst, but Earl passed by without any winds andvery little rain. Still, this week’s report will be limited because

of the storm.Tuna shing had picked up before

Earl, but shing after the storm was poorat best. Over at Peaked Hill Bar, tuna sh-ing is way off. Bass shing is OK withmost of the sh coming by wire line jig-

ging. The best spots are near the old CoastGuard station in the lobster pot lines in 20 to 30 feet of water.

There is still a good bite on at the Race at Provincetown,with bass and blues mixed in. Wire line jigging is the trick here.Fishing at the Bath House and Herring Cove is still good. Again,wire line jigging is what most of the sh are being caught on.

Over in the Plymouth and Duxbury Bay area, the bait (pea-nut bunker and baby herring) has been all schooled up gettingready for the fall migration. The bass and bluesh have beenfeeding heavily on the bait. Just before the storm, shing waspretty good, but reports after the storm are sketchy at best. Pow-der Point Bridge before Earl held some nice schools of bass andbluesh. Here, the best shing was early morning and just be-fore dark.

Don’t forget that the uke and winter ounder season hasclosed.

The High Pines area has had some nice bass, with most of these sh being caught on umbrella rigs. Over at the Green Har-bor area, no one has been shing the jetties since the storm.But before Earl, live bait was the answer to getting some smallschoolies and just a keeper size bass.

Over at Bluesh Cove, trolling tube and worms had beenworking well — also live eels have been OK for keeper sizebass.

Over at the mouth of the North River, there have been somegood size schools of large bluesh feeding on schools of peanutbunker. Also, there are some schoolie bass and an occasionalkeeper bass under the bluesh. Popping plugs or trolling um-brella rigs has worked well on these schools of bluesh.

Out in the deeper water (70 feet), you also can nd someschools of bigger bluesh — many in the 12-pound range. Hope-fully, we will have a great fall migration — be ready!

it until really a couple monthsago, and the last couple draftswere kind of eshed out by myproducer.”

The lm, “Bitter Cof-

fee,” follows the last threepeople alive on earth as theygo from coffee shop to coffeeshop seeking sustenance, saidThompson, who calls it “prob-ably the most gentle apocalyp-tic story you’re apt to nd.”

This month, Thompsonwill move to North Carolinato continue preproduction onthe lm while attending theUniversity of North CarolinaSchool of Arts for lmmaking.Thompson attended EmersonCollege in Boston for a yearand a half and recently wasaccepted at UNC.

“First and foremost, I careabout making the lms,” hesaid. “I think a college edu-cation is important, but at theend of the day I care moreabout telling these stories, andin a timely manner. The aver-age director doesn’t make hisrst feature until around 28,and really I want to beat thatby at least three years. I’d liketo be able to leave school witha marketable feature-lengthscreenplay if not a couple of them and be able to say, ‘Thisis what I’ve made over the past

couple of years.’”Starting at about the age of 15, Thompson began attendingsummer lm programs, travel-ing to schools in North Caro-lina, Hollywood and Boston.In Hollywood, Thompson de-buted a short lm at the Egyp-tian Theatre and got a standingovation.

“That was really cool,” hesaid. “But I’ve never made alm where I wasn’t taking themoney out of my own pocket.This one’s on a completely dif-ferent level for both my pro-ducer and I.”

Thompson met Colombianproducer Miguel Berg at a pro-gram in North Carolina, wherehe interned for Berg briey.

“I was really impressed byhow he ran the ship,” Thomp-son said. “At the time, I wastoo scared to get his contactinformation, but then I found ita couple months later and I fol-lowed up and sent him a queryletter about a screenplay I had[“Bitter Coffee”]. He read itand he optioned the rights to it,and the rest is history.”

Berg operates Frosty PalmStudios out of South Carolina.The pair is hoping to producethe lm for between $80,000and $100,000 and will beginfundraising shortly.

“When it’s a feature-lengthlm, you can bring on inves-tors because they’ll be makingtheir money back, presum-ably,” Thompson said. “Witha short lm, there’s always achance of it making money —like if it’s an Oscar-nominatedshort lm — but most likely itwill not make money back. Soit will be funded most likely

through grants and donations.”Already, one actor has

signed on — Canadian ac-tor Bruce McFee, who hasappeared in lms such as“Land of the Dead,” “Death toSmoochy” and “Hairspray.”

“He’s had nothing but won-derful things to say about thescript,” Thompson said of Mc-Fee. “He sent me a hand-writ-ten letter with all these thoughtsand notes on his character,which just blows my mind be-cause I’ve never worked with

actors of this caliber before.”Thompson and Berg havetheir eye on a British actressfor the female role and are inthe casting process.

“One of the calling cardsof this production is it’s reallypretty international,” Thomp-son said. “We have both a leadactor and our lm composercoming out of Canada, MarkKorven. The lm composer’sdone a bunch of Sundance-winning lms, and he scoreda lm called ‘Cube,’ which iskind of a big sci- cult hit. Wehave an Italian director of pho-

tography. He’s a camera assis-tant that works in Europe, andhe’s looking to get into cin-ematography. This will be hisbiggest project to date.”

Much of the lming for“Bitter Coffee” will be done inMontana next summer.

Once completed, the shortlm will be entered in festivalssuch as Sundance and Cannes.

“We’re also trying to haveit sold to a venue called ShortsInternational, which distrib-utes the Oscar-nominated shortlms,” Thompson said.

The lm also will serveto promote Thompson’s tal-ents and could lead to biggerthings, he said. Eventually,the young lmmaker hopes tomove to Hollywood to pursueother projects, but for now heis happy on the East Coast.

“I love the [Hollywood]area. It’s a lot of fun. But outthere as a lmmaker you’re kindof a dime a dozen. You throw arock and you’ll hit an aspiringactor or screenwriter,” he said.“So I’d rather stay away fromthere as long as possible, set up

credibility on the East Coastand in Toronto, which is hugefor lm right now, and in thesouthern United States as well,and then maybe after a featureor two I’ll migrate out there soI can progressively work onbigger projects.”

Some day, Thompson saidhe would like to lm in hishometown. He and fellow PHSalumnus Robert McCormackhave collaborated on small proj-ects locally. Last summer, theyproduced a trailer in Pembroke,

and this summer they had plansto work on a period piece hor-ror lm, but time ran out.

“I think it would be verynovel to shoot a large-scaleproject in Pembroke someday, just because it’s obviouslynever seen something like thatbefore,” Thompson said.

Growing up in Pembroke(he attended Hobomock El-ementary School), Thompsonwas always interested in goodstorytelling, enjoying showslike “The Twilight Zone.”

“What I loved about theshow outside of the really

strong storytelling was theeconomics it embraced. Theynever really had special ef-fects, because there wasn’tmoney for it,” he said. “Theywere very small in scope, veryhuman in scope, usually verysymbolic, driven by twists andunusual story events. I lovedthe idea of taking a small bud-get and a small group of actorsand maybe a limited numberof locations and telling a reallycompelling story.”

Thompson hopes to em-brace that “small budget” men-tality with his own lms.

A natural storyteller,Thompson said he was drawnto the same type of concisestories in his reading and writ-ing — mostly short ction andold anthologies of “very weird,dated horror stories.” A fanof good lm, too, lmmakingseemed like the perfect mergerof his interests.

“With directing, there wasnever a question for me if thatwas going to be my calling,”he said. “It was that or die, sinkor swim for me.”

school year with a new name— Mrs. Whiteld.

Along with a $500 check,Whiteld received two $25gift cards from Staples and abouquet of owers. Staplesco-sponsors the Teacher of the Year program with thePembroke Education Founda-tion and also provides “goodybags” full of school suppliesfor the Teacher of the Yearnominees and folders for all250 teachers in the district.

This year, the foundationreceived 17 nominations for15 teachers, according to PEFmember Kelly Ross.

The student who nomi-nated Whiteld described heras dedicated and caring, writ-ing: “She understands middle

school students. She knowsthat we learn best by interact-ing with others.”

The student also wrote:“Ms. Coloma is more than ateacher. She is a person whois looked up to by several stu-dents. She is able to truly un-derstand what each student isgoing through, whether it is achallenge at school or a prob-lem at home.”

This is the fourth year forthe PEF Teacher of the Year.Nomination forms are distrib-uted in the spring, and a com-mittee reviews each form todetermine the award recipient.

“The students recognize ateacher that they feel has in-spired them in some way orthey learned something fromover and above what they feel ateacher should do,” Ross said.

Though she has alwaysbeen interested in language,Whiteld said the idea to teachcame to her after college.

“I learned Spanish at home.It was my rst language. Mymom’s from Panama and mydad’s from Peru,” she said. “Inhigh school, I took French be-

cause I already knew Spanish,and I loved French. I majoredin it in college and I was alsoa criminal justice major. I didnot really intend on being ateacher; I wanted to be an at-torney. Then I worked in a lawrm for two years after gradu-ation and I decided that wasn’t

really for me.”Wanting to use her lan-

guage background, Whiteldtook the Massachusetts Testsfor Educator Licensure andbegan teaching. She later re-ceived her master’s in educa-tion.

Whiteld’s favorite part of teaching is the students.

“They’re just so energeticand full of life. Especially atthe middle school, they’re soexcited about learning. They

just love everything. Theyhave a lot of positive energy,”she said.

Whiteld said she tries towork a variety of activitiesinto every class.

“Since it is a foreign lan-guage, I try to incorporatereading, writing, speaking andlistening in every class,” shesaid. “I do think it’s importantto have all those things in eachlesson just because, numberone, you need to keep theirinterest, and two, you needto target all different types of learners. If they just speak thelanguage and can’t read it andwrite it that’s not going to be

entirely helpful.”When trying to make class

both fun and educational,Whiteld said she often thinksback to her own education.

“My French teacher fromhigh school really stands outto me. Class was just so fun.I loved going to French,” she

said. “She always in-corporated different ac-tivities. We were neverdoing the same thingthe whole class.”

Though she wantsto shop around, Whit-eld has her eye on aSpanish grammar pack-age for her prize-moneypurchase. The program

features CDs and interactivevideos.

Started in 2003, the non-prot Pembroke EducationFoundation recognizes andsupports Pembroke teachersboth through the Teacher of the Year program and a grantcycle offered every fall. Theorganization has given outmore than $150,000 over theyears in teacher grants forprograms ranging from bandequipment to a CPR class.

This year, grant applica-tions are due Oct. 1, and moneywill be distributed by Nov 1.

For years, the foundationheld two annual fundraisers— a golf tournament in thefall and a casino night in earlyspring. Last year, the grouptook a break to reorganize andnow is planning to hold onebig fundraiser — CasablancaNight — on March 5 at thePembroke Country Club.

The Pembroke EducationFoundation is always is needof volunteers. For more infor-mation, visit pembrokeeduca-tionfoundation.org or e-mailTracy Garvey at tracy@pem-

On Saturday, Aug. 28, Ul-timate Fighting Cham-pionship 118 (UFC),

a mixed martial arts (MMA) con-test, came to Boston’s TD Garden.

In December 2009, Governor De-val Patrick signed legislation thatpromulgated strict rules governingMMA contests, which heretoforewere banned. The new law created ave-member State Athletic Commis-sion charged with the regulation of all professional and amateur boxing,mixed martial arts and unarmed combat events,which paved the way for UFC 118 to be held inBoston this year. It also eliminated Boston May-or Menino’s concerns of insufcient regulation.

MMA ultimate ghting contests involvetwo ghters enclosed in a cage who engagein full contact combat. MMA encompasses awide variety of ghting from a mixture of mar-

tial arts: combinations of boxing, kickboxing, judo, wrestling, Brazilian jiu jitsu, Cage Com-bat and Toughman. MMA competitions arerepugnant, grotesque and an obscene orgy of violence — a sport described by Arizona Sena-tor John McCain as “human cockghting.”America’s obsession with violence has sanc-tioned ultimate ghting. Although stricter regu-lations are an improvement, nevertheless, forentertainment, Massachusetts has reverted tothe Roman gladiatorial combat era of the sec-ond century B.C. America has regressed ratherthan progressed. Instead of moving forward torestrain and marginalize violence, Massachu-setts and America have taken a step backwardby legalizing it. Boxing should be illegal, andinstead we have upgraded the violence of box-

ing by legalizing ultimate ghting contests.UFCs are prot-makers for organizers and

area businesses and provide tax revenue for thecity and state. Beginning with pay-per-viewbroadcasts, it is now prevalent in sports ven-ues and in some sport bars across 42 states. AsMayor Menino representative Dot Joyce said,“The mayor is cautiously optimistic the UFC’smoney-making juggernaut will be a boon to thelocal economy.”

This sport encourages and validates violentbehavior. It sets up a path for sociopathic behav-ior, for actions not bound by guilt, regret, com-passion, love or even fear. Combat ghter com-petitors resort to violence to injure, weaken and

intimidate opponents. Other profes-sional and amateur athletes similar-ly use the same method of intimida-tion: basketball, football, ice hockey,rugby, soccer, boxing and wrestling.

Behavior exchange principles, fac-tors contributing to the presence of violence in sports, inform us thatthese violent behaviors are learnedand imbued, inculcated via fan, me-dia and cultural attitudes. And bymodeling, wherein it can be expect-ed that if your role model practices

violence you will likely emulate violence.But, more important, how can we ever ex-

pect to achieve world peace if we continue toembrace violence? For all forms of sport andentertainment are, in part, a reection of cultureand its institutions. The Dalai Lama proclaimscompassion as the “pillar of world peace.” HisHoliness says, “Each individual has a universal

responsibility to shape institutions to serve hu-man needs.” That, “The pursuit of the objectsof our desire and attachment involves the use of aggression and competitiveness as supposedlyefcacious instruments.” Moreover, that “thesemental processes easily translate into actions,breeding belligerence.” He calls for the need toeliminate “these ‘poisons’ — delusion, greedand aggression,” further proclaiming, “For itis these poisons that are behind almost everytrouble in the world.”

In America, it seems more and more thatselling the poison of aggression for the sake of monetary gain has replaced the ideal of peaceas an enduring entity.

Sport and entertainment markets need to es-tablish moral limits. Some things plainly should

not be for sale.

Perspectives

On behalf of thePembroke HighSchool lighting

team, I would like to thankyou for shining the spotlighton what I call “Pembroke’sunsung heroes.” Your report-ing was greatly appreciatedfrom the inception of the proj-

ect and appropriately deserv-ing for those that volunteered.

However, as is always thecase, “one good turn deservesanother.” I regretfully forgotto mention one local busi-nessman, Jim Stewart of theStewart Fence Company of Hanson, for all his hard workin contributing to the successof the project. Mr. Stewartworked on all the fences thatneeded to be temporarily re-moved and reinstalled after theheavy equipment was removedfrom the site and, without hisvolunteer efforts, a higher costwould have been associatedwith the project.

I would also be remissif I did not mention the hard

work of the Pembroke SchoolCommittee, SuperintendentFrank Hackett, PHS PrincipalRuth Lynch, Athletic DirectorBill Fallon and Buildings andGrounds Manager Bob Flynn.Kudos to the Recreation Com-missioners, the Advisory Com-mittee and the selectmen — all

of who contributed to the suc-cess of the plan dating back tolast September when we rstundertook such an ambitiousproject with no real directionas to where it would end untilwe went through the processof public approval — endingwith a big “thank you” to allof the residents who voted infavor of the proposal at TownMeeting. We have much to begrateful for as a community.

Good luck to the players,coaches and families for a suc-cessful season and many moreseasons to come, hoping thatyou enjoy the experience “un-der the lights”!

By John Mattinson, executive Director peMBroke MeDia BroaDcast inc.

Iam excited to be writ-ing this letter as a re-ection of our rst year

as an independent PEG accesscorporation. I have a lot to be

thankful for since stepping intomy role as executive directorfor Pembroke Media Broad-cast Inc. I have the privilegeof working with many talentedpeople within the community.Our volunteer base is varied,committed and fun.

Our number one goal whenwe established our indepen-dent PEG access corporationwas to create and establish ourown educational channel. I waspleased to celebrate on the rstday of September the one-yearanniversary of Pembroke Edu-cational Channel 14. This chan-nel is dedicated to Pembroke’sthree elementary schools,middle school and high school.Channel 14 offers a showcasefor the talented students wehave within our schools as wellas the cablecasting of programssuch as NASA 360, Expedi-tion New England and Kids ACookin’. Live cablecasting of the high school graduation andtaped replay of Pembroke’srst “under the lights” homefootball games were some of the highlights for our rst year.We have forged a great work-

ing relationship with the per-forming arts department. Cho-ral and instrumental concertsplus special events from allve schools were highlightedthroughout the school year. Wehad numerous requests for re-plays and requests for copiesof these programs that werefullled. The Channel 14 com-munity bulletin board is dedi-cated solely to Pembroke Pub-lic Schools and has become a“go to” place for many.

Channel 14 has created anew demand for content andallows us to partner with stu-dents on lm and televisionprojects. In January, we starteda well-received after-schoolworkshop. This workshop usu-ally is held on Thursday after-noons, also running over thesummer, involving students ingrades 7-12. Several studentshave produced PSAs for chan-nels 13 and 14. Two studentsnow are producing and editingprogramming for Channel 13.Two student lm groups wehave teamed up with have wonlocal and statewide video con-tests, with one of the groups

earning a runner-up award ina national video contest. Threestudents we have partneredwith and/or supplied equip-ment to are enrolled in collegesstudying lm and television.

Public access Channel 13has had a growth spurt duringthe past year as we got out fromunder the umbrella of the localcable provider and exerted ourindependence as a true com-munity access studio. PMB hashad a great year creatively withseveral new locally produced

shows having joined the chan-nel 13 line-up including Booksand Children, Fitness with RobBelley, Expressions in Paint-ing, South Coastal HockeyLeague and The Interview withPaul Crimi. These were added

to our incumbent locally pro-duced programs Home Chapel,Elder Savvy, Ed TV and Threeof Hearts. We also offer thecommunity bicycled programssuch as Labor Talk, Life Mat-

ters, Jesus and Us and King-dom Sound. PMB also hascollaborated with town depart-ments to produce content.

Channel 15, our govern-ment access channel, has hadanother solid year bringing thecommunity live cablecasting of the selectmen’s weekly meet-ings as well as live coverage of the spring and fall Town Meet-ings. These live productions aretaped and replayed weekly forthe community to watch. Sup-plementing these programs,we have cablecast meetings of the ZBA and the Solid Wasteand Recycling Study Commit-tee. By far the most excitingevent of the year for our gov-

ernment channel was the livemulti-camera cablecasting of Gov. Deval Patrick’s visit toPembroke for one of his townmeeting forums that includedan exclusive interview with thegovernor by PMB communityvolunteer Mike Tropeano.

As technology changesrapidly within the cable accessindustry, it is always a chal-lenge to keep up. To that end,I am excited to say that PMBis meeting the challenge. Wehave spent the past 16 monthsupgrading our equipment inalmost all phases of our opera-tions. New cameras, tripodsand wireless audio gear andaccessories have been addedto our equipment loaner pro-gram. Our video playback unithas transitioned from VHS toDVD and now to a le sys-tem. What this means to theviewer at home is audio andvideo programming of thehighest quality. It will allow usto eventually stream program-ming over the Internet. Wealso are embarking on a majoroverhaul of our studio controlroom, upgrading equipment

from analog to digital HD.Major technological up-

grades also are in store forChannel 15. Our one camera inthe back of the room is beingreplaced with a three-camera,remotely operated system. Thiswill allow for a single operatorin the back of the room to havecontrol of all three cameras tomaximize our video coverage.Supplementing this system isa new voice-activated micro-phone audio system for each of the selectmen and the town ad-

ministrator as well as ceiling-mounted microphones for themeeting’s audience. This willgreatly improve the audio. Ourcommunity will see improvedlive and replayed content origi-nating from our town govern-

ment meetings.As you can see, it has been

a busy and rewarding year forcommunity television in Pem-broke. The foundation has beenset for our community to have

one of the nest access and me-dia centers on the South Shore.In the coming year, look forlots of new content. PMB hasa presence on the Pembroke300th Celebration Committeewith plans to cablecast a majorproduction of the town’s 300thanniversary parade. There areseveral other programs in theworks that will revolve aroundthe town’s yearlong anniver-sary celebration.

We look forward to ren-ing what we have set in place,furthering the experiences of our community volunteerswhile expanding their base,continuing our involvementwith our public school system

and local government agen-cies and taking Pembroke Me-dia Broadcast Inc. to the nextlevel of service to our localcommunity.

“Beore I was born, my moth-

er was in great agony o spirit and in a tragic situation. She

could take no ood except iced oysters and champagne. I

people ask me when I be-gan to dance, I reply, ‘In my

mother’s womb, probably asa result o the oysters and the

champagne.’” — The Food of Aphrodite, Isadora Duncan,

American dancer

Drinks: Harpoon Brewerywill have a generous supplyof their local beers availablethroughout the day. Many lo-cal oyster mavens will cor-

roborate thee f f i c a c yof such amarvelousm o l l u s km a t c h .Some of

you may seek an equally ethe-real experience in the vinousworld …

Pascal Jolivet is an historicwine maker in the Loire Val-ley. His vineyards in Sancerreand Pouille Fume are legend-

ary. Having tasted every winehe has made for the past 20years, let me offer a strongrecommendation: His winesare staggering; they are madespecically to be served withDuxbury oysters. Grab a coldglass, set a dozen or two of those delectable Duxburytreats in front of you, and go totown. I’m not kidding. Here’sanother recommendation:

“As I ate the oysters withtheir strong taste o the seaand their aint metallic taste

that the cold white wine

wasted away, leaving only thesea taste and the succulent texture, and as I drank their

cold liquid rom each shelland washed it down with the

crisp taste o the wine, I lost the empty eeling and began

to be happy and to make plans.” — Ernest Hemingway,

“A Moveable Feast”

Much like ne wine, oys-ters provide a direct taste of theenvironment from which theyspring. Naturally, Island Creekoysters carry a taste of the seaunique to New England, quitedifferent from French, PacicNorthwest or New Zealandoysters. Ecologically, they arequite benecial, actually hav-ing a positive cleansing effecton the water, and while techni-cally an animal, they are in factmuch closer to being mobileplants, often regarded as suchby vegans and vegetarians.Very interesting, these oysters.

If, for some inexplicablereason, you’ve never had Is-land Creek oysters, you caneasily nd them right here inPembroke at Boca Restaurantor The Brimstone Tavern. Is-land Creek’s Web site lists thehundreds of restaurants all overthe world that serve them.

My last word on oystersgoes to comedian TommyCooper:

“So I was getting into my car,and this bloke says to me,‘Can you give me a lift?’ I

said, ‘Sure, you look great, theworld’s your oyster, go for it.’”

“He was a bold man that frst eat an oyster.” — Jonathan Swift

Island Creek Oyster Festival — theword “festival” almost seems re-dundant, doesn’t it? Many of you

know exactly what I’m sayin’ (nudge,

nudge, say no more). To any true fan of the most glorious example of the cold wa-ter bivalve mollusk, each is a festival untoitself. There’s your expansive iced plat-ter — its raw, briny, glistening treasurepropped atop, splayed unabashedly be-fore you. Each is a miracle of nature, un-naturally asymmetric in its idiosyncraticgeometric perfection. As with any of theworld’s profound culinary traditions, you have the obliga-

tory, and ultimately indis-pensable, accoutrement: thestainless steel platters lledwith horseradish, shallots,

tomato sauce, mignonette sauce, the sterilized utensils; it al-most reminds one of a surgical procedure. And yet, nothing

could be more sensual.“I you don’t love lie you can’t enjoy an oyster; there isa shock o reshness to it and an intimation o the ages o man, some piercing intuition o the sea and all its weeds

and breezes.” — Eleanor Clark

Or you go the unadulterated route, oyster sliders. Now,to chew or not to chew? That is not a question; it’s a philoso-phy of life. “Whether ‘tis nobler to nibble or …” etc., let’sgo to the bard himself:

“Why, then the world’s mine oyster,Which I with sword will open.”

— William Shakespeare, “The Merry Wives of Windsor”

The Titans played like ateam trying to nd their iden-tity in their rst game of the

season on Tuesday, and SilverLake made them pay the price.

The Lakers took advantageof Titan miscues in their ownend while Pembroke couldn’tnish at the other end in a 2-0

loss at the high school.“There were some rst-

game jitters and we’re stillfeeling out who is playingwhere,” head coach GeorgeStagno said. “I thought weplayed well in the rst half,

but that rst goal set us backa little.”

The Lakers took the lead

quickly in the rst half witha goal in the rst 10 minutes.The Lakers continued to con-trol the mideld and attackthe Titan end, but Pembroke’sdefense reduced them to shots

from beyond the 20-yard line.The Titans played better

after Stagno called time-outwith 17:44 to go in the half, butthey still couldn’t put togetherstrong possessions. The Lak-ers regrouped and went back

on the offensive, but keeperAndrew Madden kept it a one-goal game with a diving save.

“That is why I left himin,” Stagno said of Madden.“We’ve been swapping the

goalies every half, but I feltlike he deserved to stay in.”

The Lakers attacked againoff the whistle to start the sec-ond half and just missed scor-ing twice on balls that went

wide. Stagno again called a

time-out to regroup his teamwith 25:33 left in the game,and the Titans responded withtheir two best offensive chanc-

es.Matt Butler broke free

in the box but red high andwide. The Titans’ last chancecame off a free kick, but again

they couldn’t nd the range.“We had two shots face-on

and we just couldn’t put themin,” Stagno said. “If we hadtied it 1-1, that game wouldhave been a lot different, but

those are the breaks.”Silver Lake put the game

away with 8:45 left on the

clock when a high cross sailed

over Madden’s reach to awide-open Laker forward foran easy header goal.

The Titans will look to eventheir record for their annualtrip to Martha’s Vineyard be-fore getting back to league playnext week against Quincy.

Game one jitters costly

found their target in Silver

Lake on Tuesday but could not

stop the Lakers from doing the

same.

Silver Lake scored with 10

minutes to play in the second

half to pull even and tie the Ti-

tans 3-3 in their rst game of

the season.

Senior Megan Ford, Mi-

chaela McIsaac and captain

Michelle Coate gave the Titans

the lead in what was a good

showing for the Titan offense.

“We got great play from

Michelle, Megan and Jenna

[Bostwick],” head coach Cara

Connerty said.

On the defensive end,

captain Amanda Pugliese and

midelder Christen Cahill

turned in good games for Pem-

goalie Brooke Musial made 10

saves.

The golf team matchedBarnstable shot for shotthrough four matches at thePembroke Country Club onTuesday, but in the end Barn-stable proved why they are oneof the top teams in the state.

The Titans were even with

Barnstable with the teams’ topfour golfers in the clubhouse,but Barnstable’s fth and sixgolfers shot two- and three-over par rounds to put theirteam over the top and hand theTitans a 232-240 loss in therst golf match of the season.

Pembroke’s four and ve,Garrett Wetherbee and Jon

Nolan, each had goodrounds, shooting 41 and

39 respectively, but headcoach Paul Consolati saidBarnstable’s golfers justwent to another level.

“It wasn’t that ourguys played bad; they bothhad good rounds,” Conso-lati said. “[Barnstable’sgolfers] just had unbeliev-able rounds. They werefourth in the Division Istate tournament last yearand they have six golfersback. So we knew it wasgoing to be a very difcultmatch.”

Consolati was pleasedwith Nolan’s two-over39 in the rst varsity golf match of his high schoolcareer. Number two golf -er Pete Camerlengo andnumber three Kevin Gate-ly also had good days,each shooting a one-over38.

The Titans will begindefense of the Patriot Leaguechampionship on Wednesdaywhen they hit the road to takeon Hanover.
