SAFETY FIRST: Ronnie Ramos, 14, keeps his eye on the target as he fires a pistol for the first time at the Old Colony Sportsmen’s Association’s second annual NRA Day Camp and Family Open House on Sunday. Local Scouts and families were invited to stop by the club to get a lesson on gun safety and practice shooting a variety of guns as well as archery and tomahawk throwing under the guidance of club members like Jim Harris, above. The club also shared information about its Junior Rifle Program. See more photos from the event on page 10. Photo by Denise Hawes

When Joe Chetw-ynd joined American Le-

gion Arthur Briggs Church Post 143, he didn’t know much about Corporal Arthur Briggs Church.

The local post, which formed in 1919 and last year celebrated its 90th anniver-sary, was named in honor of Church, a Pembroke native who was killed in action dur-ing World War I.

“When I joined, I never heard much about who this man was, and that’s when I started looking into his history and wondering when was the last time anybody did anything

in his honor,” Chetwynd said. An Army veteran himself,

Chetwynd learned that in the early 1930s the U.S. govern-ment had paid expenses for widows, mothers and other family members to visit the graves of American soldiers who were buried in France. Church’s widow was among those who made the trip.

“That’s probably the last time anybody visited his grave specifically,” Chetwynd said.

Now, Post 143 is changing that.

Last Thursday, during their installation of new officers, the Legion held a memorial service for Church. They also

The School Committee completed its evaluation of Superintendent Frank Hackett Tuesday night, commending him for “the excellent job” he has done and on his dedication to student achievement.

The evaluation process be-gan with Hackett submitting a self-evaluation, focusing on six standards set by the com-mittee. At their Aug. 24 meet-ing, the committee discussed Hackett’s comments and

shared how they felt he was doing.

H a c k -ett is in his fourth year as superinten-dent of Pem-broke Public Schools.

Committee chairman Paul Bosworth commented on Hackett’s flexibility.

“You have a vision, but it’s not a hard road map,” he said,

Four years ago, the Pem-broke Knights of Columbus and Rockland-Hanson Rotary Club’s special needs prom was just an idea — a way of giving local high schoolers with dis-abilities a chance to mix and mingle with their peers. Later, in its second year, the prom drew more than 400 people, including families and prom-goers ages 16 to 61.

Now, members of the Pem-broke and Rockland Knights of Columbus and the Rock-land-Hanson Rotary Club are banding together to form their own nonprofit group — the Prom Angels Foundation — to make the prom bigger than ever, bring proms to other lo-cal towns and build new pro-

grams for young adults such as golf and basketball leagues.

“Because the prom has started growing so large in size now, we created the Prom Angels Foundation,” said Paul Nicol, Rotary Club member and group co-founder. “Prom Angels is allowing us to grow the prom out even larger. This year, we’re going to do it at the Pembroke Country Club because of the size, and we’re

also looking at doing another one in Braintree.”

In 2009, the Pembroke Knights of Columbus was recognized with both state and international community awards — picked from more than 13,000 councils for their efforts with the prom.

A visit with Lance KeimigBy Becca Manning, express staff

[email protected]

Photographer Lance Keimig will dis-cuss night photography and the writing process and bring copies of his new

book, “Night Photography: Finding Your Way in the Dark,” on Tuesday, Sept. 28 at 7 p.m. at the Pembroke Public Library. Keimig, who moved to Pembroke from San Francisco in 1998, lives in town with wife Brooke Stanton and their son, Skye, 12. He has a studio at Corporate Park and has taught at New England School of Photogra-phy in Boston for about 10 years. He also leads photo tours to Scotland and Ireland and runs workshops throughout the United States

How did you get into night photography? I had an old girlfriend who was into taking pic-tures, and she put a camera in my hand. I’d been changing majors at college every semester because I had no idea what I wanted to do, and with photography it was like, ‘This is it.’ I knew right away that was what I wanted to do. One of the first rolls of film I ever shot was in my bedroom with all the lights turned off, just play-ing around with a flashlight. The results weren’t very good, but it was a starting point for ex-ploring long exposures. I’d always been a night person before — I’d worked in restaurants and bars. It just seemed to come together.

What appeals to you about that kind of work? Every photograph is a combination of light and time. People think at night you can’t take pictures because it’s too dark out. There’s less light, so you need more time, and when you have long exposures with a lot of time, stuff can happen during the exposure. Sometimes you have control over that and most of the time you don’t, so you open up the shutter and you just have to hope for the best, whether it’s for a min-ute or two minutes or a couple of hours. Often-times, things will happen, whether it’s objects moving in or out of the frame, or the weather changing, or the rotation of the earth that makes stars create long lines across the sky.

I’ve always been interested in the way time is recorded in a photograph. Light’s important, of course, but the way time is recorded — it’s in a way we can’t see. We perceive time as a continuum. But a long exposure photograph takes all that time and compresses it into this single image.

Your Web site is nightskye.com. Where does the extra “e” come from? My wife and I went to Scotland in 1995, and one of the places we visited was the Isle of Skye, an island on the west coast of Scotland. We didn’t have much time there, but we kind of fell in love with the place. When our son was born, we named him Skye. When I started my Web site, I first con-sidered thenightsky.com without the ‘e’, and it was already taken by this mobile planetarium. The Web site’s been around since 2001, so it’s pretty well established now, but it’s one of those URLs where you always have to say ‘the night sky-with-an-e.’

Do you have a favorite location to photo-graph? I’m really attracted to Scotland in gen-eral. Each year, I try to go to a different group of islands. I really like to go to Orkney, which is a little chain of islands off the north coast of Scotland. There’s a huge concentration of megalithic archeological sites from about 5,000 years ago — standing stones and burial tombs. Unlike some of the other islands of Scotland, Orkney and Shetland even further north are very progressive communities. They’re really well connected with the rest of Europe, but at the same time they have this incredible history and heritage and they’re very proud of who they are and where they came from.

The light is extraordinary. I usually go right around the summer solstice in mid-June. Here, the sun sets and we’ve got about 20 minutes of twilight and then it’s dark. Up there, in the high summer, the sun just kind of skirts along the horizon. So they get like three or four hours of really nice twilight.

How has technology helped your work? The night photography that I do, it really push-es the equipment to the limits because you’re photographing in difficult situations — low light, long exposures, contrast-y situations with lots of different light sources. But just the last couple of generations of cameras have come so far. Night photographers have always done these really long exposures which leave star trails streaking through the sky, but now it’s possible to do exposures short enough that you can actually capture the stars as points for the first time.

Town may adopt new ruleBy Becca Manning, express staff

[email protected]

Selectmen made a last-minute addition to the fall special Town Meeting war-rant, discussed the success of Saturday’s hazardous waste collection day and postponed other items during a relatively short meeting Monday night.

The added article would accept a change to Massachu-setts General Law that was ap-proved in July, which allows businesses to serve alcohol at 10 a.m. on Sundays, with per-mission from the local licens-ing board — in Pembroke, the Board of Selectmen.

If Town Meeting already has approved the previous ver-sion of the law, which autho-rizes 11 a.m. sales on Sunday, voters do not have to approve the new version. Selectmen added the item to the warrant to hold a spot while officials check the town’s voting his-tory.

The special Town Meet-ing will be held on Tuesday, Oct. 19 at 7:30 p.m. at Pem-broke High School on Learn-ing Lane. Friday, Oct. 8 is the last day to register to vote at the Town Meeting. The town clerk’s office will be open un-til 8 p.m. that day for voter registration only.

Also Monday, Town Ad-ministrator Ed Thorne com-mented on the success of the town’s hazardous waste col-lection day, held Saturday at

the recycling center. Officials saw an increase from about 70 cars at last year’s collec-tion day to more than 200 this year.

“Around noon it became the Woodstock of hazardous waste days because of the incredible amount of traf-fic,” Thorne said. “It was a great success, and we’ll defi-nitely have another one in the spring.”

Thorne said it also was a good way to discuss town business with residents, as he stood in for the health agent and helped direct cars at the event, talking with people as they waited.

During his report, Thorne also recommended the town not participate in an early re-tirement plan proposed by

the state legislature. The plan would limit the town’s ability to replace those who retire. In the first year, for example, four police officers would re-tire and the town could only replace one.

“Right now, not one de-partment can lose an employ-ee and not be able to replace them,” Thorne said.

State OKs option to allow Sunday liquor sales at 10 a.m.

In other business Monday:• Selectmen voted unanimously to allow the Pembroke Skate Park Committee to use the community center parking lot to hold a bike, skate and scooter day to raise funds and awareness about the proposed skate park. The event will be held on Saturday, Oct. 23 from 12-3:30 p.m. (rain date Oct. 24). Participants are asked to donate $6 and will be able to try different levels of skate tricks, according to committee member Katie DiNardo.• Selectmen postponed a meeting with the animal control officer until next week, saying they are in the process of negotiating his job description. They also postponed a meeting with a Bonney Street resident regarding a trailer permit.• The board acknowledged the Historical Commission’s appointment of Elizabeth Bates to the Community Preservation Committee.• Selectmen met in executive session to discuss pending litigation.

Rabid skunks on High St.

Animal Control Officer Bill Hart wants residents to be aware that two skunks in the High Street area tested positive for rabies. The first skunk was caught on Labor Day weekend after it was acting aggressive toward people and dogs. The second was caught on Monday at a High Street home just a mile away, where it was chas-ing horses around a corral. The horses’ owners killed the skunk, and its body was sent out for testing, coming back positive for rabies. Hart said he believes there may be more infected skunks, and possibly other animals, in the area. He recommends people not inter-act with any wildlife, including raccoons and feral cats, which may have contracted the virus.

Residents should make sure all their pets are vaccinated for rabies. Pets should not be left outside unattended and should not be fed outside, as the food may attract wild animals. Ra-bies can be spread through ani-mals’ saliva. Hart asks anyone who sees a typically nocturnal animal out during the day or acting unusual to call the shel-ter at 781-293-5288. If it’s an emergency, call the police sta-tion at 781-293-6363.


Series of vehicle break-ins reported

Police are investigating a series of vehicle break-ins that occurred over the weekend in the Great Sandy Bottom Pond area.

A Phillips Road resident reported the first break-in around 11:15 a.m. on Saturday, say-ing that his iPod and a black leather jacket were missing from the back seat of a vehicle parked outside his home. The vehicle was left un-locked, and police believe someone may have been walking up the road and taken the items after seeing the car was unlocked, according to Police Lt. Mike Jenness.

Vehicles on Glenwood Road, Sandy Lane and Mattakeesett Street were reported broken into between Saturday and Sunday. Residents told police their center consoles and glove com-partments were left open and appeared to have been rummaged through, but nothing was tak-en. All the vehicles were left unlocked.

On Glenwood Road, a neighbor reported having seen a large white male wearing a white hat and red shirt enter the vehicle but did not call police, unsure whether it was someone the vehicle owner knew.

Also on Sunday, a Williams Avenue resi-dent reported her purse had been stolen out of her vehicle, which was parked unlocked in her driveway. She told police she had arrived at home, carried some items into the house and forgot her purse was in the backseat. When she later went to go shopping, she discovered the purse was missing, according to reports.

Police also are investigating an apparently unrelated vehicle break-in on Gardner Lane in which someone took items such as old sleds, snow skis and hand tools from a truck and ga-rage. Because of the type of items taken, po-lice do not believe it was the same person who broke into the other vehicles, Jenness said.

He offered this advice for residents to pro-tect themselves from future break-ins: “Obvi-ously, we want people to leave an outside light on if they’re able to, to lock their doors and to take their valuables out of their vehicles. And if they see something that’s suspicious, just call police.”

Houses on Plain, Valley streets broken into

Police are investigating two possibly relat-ed house break-ins on Plain and Valley streets in which doors were kicked in and items such as jewelry, a safe and a laptop computer were taken.

A Plain Street resident called police on Tuesday, Sept. 14 around 3:30 p.m. to report that he had returned home to find the back door kicked in and his home rummaged through. A handle to a safe kept on the back deck was found, but the safe was missing, along with jewelry and other items, ac-cording to police reports. Po-lice Lt. Mike Jenness said it appeared there may have been more than one person involved in the break-in because the safe would have been too heavy for one person to lift.

On Wednesday, Sept. 15, a Valley Street resident reported someone had kicked in the basement door to his home and rummaged through his belongings, taking a laptop worth several thousand dollars and a jar of coins, ac-cording to reports.

“We do feel that this is very similar to the first case,” Jenness said.

Police are investigating.

Woman charged with fourth OUI offense

A Pembroke woman is facing her fourth OUI charge after running her vehicle off the road into a stone wall.

Police received a call around 11 p.m. on Sunday on the report that a vehicle had crashed into a retaining wall on Hatch Road. Police found the vehicle without an operator. After searching the area, they came across the driver, Kimberly D. Ferguson-Caizzi, 43, of Matta-keesett Street, who told police she had gone to find a friend to tow her vehicle, according to reports. Police reportedly smelled alcohol and made other observations that led them to charge Ferguson-Caizzi with OUI fourth offense, neg-ligent operation of a motor vehicle and making an improper turn.

Drugs found during search for stolen items

A Harvard Street resident is facing several drug charges after police searched his home last Friday under suspicion that he had been in-volved in break-ins in the area.

Working with Duxbury police through the Old Colony Police Anti-Crime Task Force, Pembroke officers executed a warrant to search the Harvard Street home of John J. Kings-ley, 29. Police were looking for property sto-len in a series of local break-ins, according to Pembroke Police Lt. Mike Jennesss. Though nothing found in Kingsley’s home has been positively identified as stolen, police did find a number of illegal drugs, including oxycodone, suboxodone, clonodine and trazadone.

Kingsley was arrested and charged with two counts of Class B drug possession and two counts of Class E drug possession. Police are still investigating the break-ins, Jenness said.

Another Gone fishin’ season ends

By skip cornell, express coluMnist [email protected]

Hot Spot of the Week: The Bath House at Provinc-etown.

Tip of the Week: Watch the weather! As wa-ter temperatures fall and the hurricane season continues, play it safe. Don’t fish alone. Make safety your number one priority.

Coastal Report: Tuna fishing has been hot, with lots of small tuna for the recreational fisherman. There are many fish under 59 inches. There are tuna being taken at Stellwagen Bank

at the southwest corner, the southeast cor-ner and some inside Cape Cod Bay. These fish are being caught by trolling HotJigs squid bars in pink and black or root beer colors.

At Peaked Hill Bar there are lots of sharks and some tuna also. In 20 to 35 feet

of water near the pot line, there are some monster size bluefish and some keeper bass. These fish are being caught by wire line jigging. The hot color jigs are black and purple, red and black and watermelon.

Up at the Race at Provincetown bass and blue fishing has really heated up. The fall run is on. Again, wire line jigging will get you all the bass and blues you can handle. Over at the Bath House, the bass are a little bigger and more plentiful. At times, the fish are schooled up on top. Try top water plugs or try troll-ing Shankas in white or bub-ble gum colors.

Over at the Plymouth and Duxbury Bay area, there are some reports of large strip-ers being caught at 30 to 40 pounds. These fish are being caught on live bait. At high tide all over the area inside Duxbury flats, you can see large schools of fish feeding on peanut bunker. This is a great place to use top water plugs.

From High Pines to Green Harbor, there has been good fishing by troll-ing umbrella rigs (black or red worms are working the best). From the jetties at Green Harbor to Bluefish Cove at the trailer park, tube and worm has worked well.

From Beatles Rock to Fourth Cliff at the mouth of the North River, there are migrating schools of blue-fish with stripers underneath them. At times, there are some schools of bass and bluefish over at the mouth of the North River — sometimes they’re right up tight to the shore and other times they are in deep water.

Now that fall is approaching, it’s time for me to shut the column down till next season. This will be the last column for this year. Thanks to all my readers. See you in the spring. Until then ... Gone Fishin’!

EARNING HIS STRIPER: Ian Detterman, 12, of Plympton caught his first striper, a 28-inch-er, aboard For Days Out II.

CANDIDATe’S CORNeR

State representative can-didate Josh Cutler has been named one of “40 Stars Under 40” by a South Shore educa-tion and family support organi-zation.

I’ve been told that a Virgo is ➢someone born between Aug. 23 and Sept. 22. A Virgo is someone who is practical, steady, flex-ible and adaptable. A Virgo has Wednesday as a lucky day and three and five as lucky numbers. They show traits of being hard-

working, modest, critical, prag-matic, meticulous and conserva-tive. Well, Jim Lynch, owner of Family Pets and Garden Center in Pembroke, has always had a house full of Virgos, including his son Jamie, born on Aug. 31; son Sean, born on Sept. 16; wife Sandy, born Sept. 14; and Jim himself, born Sept. 20. To top it all off, Sandy and Jim

celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary on Sept. 19. Don’t forget to say “happy birthday” and/or “happy anniversary” to the Lynch family when you see them around town.

The Chamber of Com- ➢merce is hosting a Harvest Fest on Saturday, Oct. 16 at the Her-ring Run park on Route 14 from noon to 3 p.m. Activities include pumpkin decorating, bobbing for apples, doughnut-on-a-string and a moonwalk. Restaurants will be giving out free samples. Admission will be a donation for the Pembroke Food Pantry. For more information, call Mike Tinkham at 617-320-2423.

My husband received a mes-sage on the answering machine from one of the

grandchildren the other evening. It went something like this: “Hi Grampy, I hear you had a grandfather who had to flee from Ireland because he was a thief. Well, I have this project for school, and I have to tell a really cool story about something that happened to a family member and I thought the story about your grandfather would be a good one. Give me a call when you get in — you know my number.” Yes, John did return the call that evening. What he told the 10-year-old, I am not quite sure. But I would give my eyeteeth if I could be a fly on that classroom wall when my grandson tells his story in front of the other students. Always expressive, exciting, enthusiastic and creative, storytelling is right up his alley. And now let’s see what’s going on around town.

Adult Scavenger Hunt : November 14

GREAT SKATE: Olivia Morris of Pembroke was awarded “Little New England Champion” in the Preliminary Competitive Test Track category at the Providence open figure skat-ing competition recently. She is a seventh grader at Pembroke Community Middle School.

DAY OF SERVICE: Sept. 11 has been designated a National Day of Service. Members from the Mattakeesett Garden Club of Pembroke used that as a good reason and opportunity to do their part. They met at 11 a.m. at the flagpole garden in front of the Pembroke Public Library to deadhead, weed, remove litter and plant a variety of cabbage plants for a fall display. After finishing up at the library, Pam Carey, civic projects chairwoman Mary Lou Chase, president Jeana Homola, Linda Mitchell and Mary Lou Whittle moved on to the Police Station and Town Hall to start the weeding and cleanup of the rain gardens.

BLUE RIBBON BASKET: Susan Taylor Blaauw has been enter-ing the Marshfield Fair in dif-ferent categories, including vegetables, cooking and quilt-ing, since the 1980s. She also enters her Nantucket baskets that she weaves at home. This year, Susan’s 1-1/2-inch cherry and cane Nantucket basket with ivory knobs and scallop shell decorated interior came in first place, adding yet another blue ribbon to Susan’s collec-tion. Over the years, Susan has taken home 33 blue ribbons for her Nantucket baskets alone.

HARBOR BELLES: Pembroke red hatters have been out and about once again. Rain and rough surf didn’t stop them from boarding a paddleboat, Pilgrim Belle, for a narrated jaunt around Plymouth Harbor. After the cruise, the ladies had a leisurely lunch at Isaac’s. From left to right are: Carol Smith, Roberta Pulaski, Chake Zarougian, Mary Lou Whittle and Ellie Reppucci. The rest of the ladies were enjoying the breeze on the top deck. These classy lassies were the only passengers on the boat that day.



The Kiwanis Club of Pembroke was represented by Lt.

Governors Jim Levesque and Corinne Francis, President Bill Hussey and Treasurer Beverly Hussey at the 92nd annual New England District of Ki-wanis Convention at the Holi-day Inn, Mansfield/Foxboro.

The convention offered educational seminars, exhibits, leadership training, and related activities, as well as a presentation of awards for outstanding service to the community. The Pembroke club was named one of New England’s Distinguished Clubs for their service projects in the 2008-09 administrative year.

Delegates to the conven-tion voted on proposed amend-ments and elected the district leadership for 2010-2011.Ronald “Ron” Sanville of the Kiwanis Club of Hardwick, Vt., was elected to the position of New England district gov-ernor. Vesta Brown of the Ki-wanis Club of Sheffield, Mass. became the governor-elect. George DeLisle of the Kiwanis Club of Westfield, Mass. will be district treasurer.

Superintendent evaluatedremarking on Hackett’s ability to change the way the district gets to a set goal.

Committee member Su-zanne Scroggins said she felt Hackett was accessible and approachable to the staff and community.

“He promotes collabo-ration with all stakeholders, including the students them-selves, and has created a posi-tive culture in the district,” Scroggins said.

Scroggins also said Hack-ett was quick to respond to the needs of the district and the community and that he had done a good job of managing the resources, attracting and retaining quality staff and sup-porting advancement within the district.

Committee member Mike Tropeano said he felt Hackett had helped develop a relation-ship between the schools and town departments such as the police department. He gave as example a case where po-lice dogs were brought into the school last spring without public criticism in an effort to identify any illegal activity (there were no arrests).

“I do think the dogs were a huge step forward,” committee member Patrick Chilcott add-ed. “I think it was absolutely the right call.”

Committee member Ginny Wandell said she appreciated Hackett’s ability to focus on each student.

“I think Frank always pro-motes the individual, and ev-erything grows around that,” she said, adding that Hackett’s motto appeared to be “You are important to me.”

The committee also identi-fied areas for improvement.

Tropeano said he would like to see more progress made on targeting kids who are not achieving.

Bosworth commended the superintendent for the way he and his staff have focused on academic achievement and created common tests to assess how students are doing. Now, he said, he would like to see the district move forward with using student data to help the individual student.

The committee also voted to amend Hackett’s contract to allow him to count compensa-tion fully toward retirement. It does not increase compensa-tion. Hackett’s contract was

extended last November for another three years through the 2012-2013 school year.

Also Tuesday:• The committee autho-

rized the addition of one para-professional staff member to help with the special education program at Pembroke Com-munity Middle School. Direc-tor of Special Education Lau-rie Casna said the addition was needed to account for an influx of special education students returning to the middle school after attending out-of-district programs in elementary school. The addition does not require a change in the budget; funding will come from money Pem-broke would have been paying for out-of-district tuition.

• The committee unani-mously approved three new technology courses at the high school, including Engineering The Future, Fashioning Tech-nology and Science, Technol-ogy, Engineering and Math-ematics.

• The committee approved a fourth grade home school re-quest.

• The committee met in executive session to discuss contract negotiations and col-lective bargaining.

You worked hard, saved your money, secured a company pension, built up a 401(k), and invested well.

In short, you made all the right choices in plan-ning for retirement. But that was then; this is now. The stock market’s collapse since 2007 has pummeled Americans’ retirement accounts, wiping out more than $3 trillion in value, by one estimate.1

If that weren’t worrisome enough, retirement expenses are also growing by the year. Our life expectancy continues to increase — 77.7 years and rising, according to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention2 — while

the cost of living keeps going up as well. This means your retire-ment years are likely to be longer and more expensive than you thought.

Facing these unnerving facts, people who once invested heavily in the stock market are now playing defense in their retirement planning. Many Americans appear to be fleeing stocks and shifting more of their nest eggs to cash and fixed-income instruments in response to the latest downturn.3

Spreading the WealthMost financial professionals agree that a prudent strategy for lim-iting vulnerability in volatile economic conditions is to spread one’s assets among a range of investments with varying levels of risk. Yes, stocks may still be part of the mix, but so may bonds and fixed annuities.

For people that have a “rainy day fund” with no immediate need for it — and want death protection — the answer may be life in-surance. A single-premium universal life insurance policy such as New York Life Insurance and Annuity Corporation (NYLIAC)’s4 Instant LegacyTM is designed to guarantee* a financial legacy for the policyholder’s heirs, generally free from federal income tax, while also providing a number of “living benefits.” One of the living benefits such policies offer is access** to your money when you need it, provided that your death benefit protection needs have decreased. In uncertain times, you may want to consider this kind of flexibility.

Miles from home, WWI soldier still rememberedannounced plans to have the Pembroke native’s grave site in the Somme American Ceme-tery in Bony, France decorated every year on the anniversary of his death — Sept. 28, 1918. Along with laying a wreath, the American Battle Monu-ments Commission will play Taps in Church’s memory.

Born in Pembroke, Church graduated from the old Pem-broke High School in 1901, then attended Harvard and graduated from Harvard Law School in 1909. He was prac-ticing law in New York City when World War I broke out.

On May 14, 1917, he en-listed in the New York National Guard, later becoming part of the National Guard’s 107th In-fantry Division known as “the Silk Stocking Regiment.” The group was so-called because most of its members were “Vanderbilts and names of in-dustry and banking, and all kinds of people of money and

wealth and long heritages all the way back to the Mayflower and before,” Chetwynd said.

The history of the Silk Stocking Regiment is dis-cussed in the book, “Duty, Honor, Privilege” by Stephen L. Harris, which features sev-eral references to Church. On Thursday, Chetwynd read from the book.

“He plays a small role in this story,” Chetwynd said. “There are at least half a doz-en citations of him in the book, including some of the para-graphs or sentences out of let-

ters that he wrote home, which is really good because you get to hear his voice, not just see his picture or his gravestone. You get to know something about who he was.”

“He’s not just a name on a building, and he’s not just a tombstone in France,” Chetw-

ynd said. “He was a man, a husband and a son. He had a family, and he wrote to them. If he’d have survived the war, he’d probably have gone back to New York and had a nice career and started a family.”

Church sailed to France in May 1918 and with his divi-sion joined the Second British Army in Flanders. He was cit-ed for courage in an early bat-tle for “keeping a cool head,” Chetwynd said.

Church was killed in ac-tion during an attack on the Hindenburg Line in the vicin-

ity of the San Quentin Canal, Bellicourt, France, just a few months after coming over.

“He didn’t get to fight very much, but that’s really not the point,” Chetwynd said. “The point is that he enlisted and went to war, and not everyone who goes to war gets to come home.”

Chetwynd said he hoped other Legion posts might fol-low suit in recognizing local veterans buried overseas.

“Maybe it will catch on,” he said.

Chetwynd, a member of the 82nd Airborne Association — a brotherhood of paratroop-ers — said he takes every op-portunity to honor his fellow veterans, attending reunions, funerals and memorial servic-es all over the country.

“You do this enough times, and you realize that you still have a role to play, even though you’re an aging veteran. It’s not about being admired that you showed up. It’s about being there to pay tribute to the people who have died,” Chetwynd said. “You can’t remember them all, but you can’t forget them either.”

(Not pictured is Historian Lou Jordan.) Post 143 meets on the fourth Thursday of the month at 7 p.m. at the Bryantville Meeting House on School Street.

American Legion Arthur Briggs Church Post 143 is named after Corporal Arthur Briggs Church, who was killed in action in 1918 during World War I. He is buried in France. The Legion is paying for the American Battle Monuments Commission to lay a wreath on Church’s grave each year on the anniversary of his death, starting this year, on Sept. 28. Photos by Denise Hawes

Unique prom idea growsCanada are following our lead and doing special needs proms,” said Kevin McK-enna, Pembroke Knight and co-founder of Prom Angels. “We’ve been asked to do ad-ditional proms in the state of Massachusetts. We figured the best way to accommodate this is to start a nonprofit organiza-tion so it can help more chil-dren and young adults.”

As a parent of two special needs children, McKenna said he has seen a need for events such as the prom.

“We have to get ahead of the curve, because there’s a need for it,” he said. “One of the biggest things I’m realiz-ing is, once my children are out of high school at the age of 22, there are very little so-cial activities for these young adults to do.”

Initially, the prom — held in the spring at the Pembroke Knights of Columbus hall — was aimed at giving special needs high school kids their own prom, but with many ask-ing to return year after year and all ages wanting to join the fun, prom organizers opened it up.

“We had one lady come from as far as Buzzard’s Bay this year, and she was 61 years old,” McKenna said. “She had never been to a prom.”

The event has drawn sup-port from all over, including the efforts of Marsha Johnson at Stitch’N Time in Hanson, who dry cleans and alters do-nated prom dresses for the kids. The local Men’s Wearhouse and Longhorn Steakhouse also have been involved in the proj-ect, as has Pembroke stylist Michael Serode, who closed his shop the day of the prom this year so that all the girls could have their hair done.

Nicol, McKenna and Prom Angels treasurer Pete Donnel-ly, a member of the Rockland Knights of Columbus, are hop-ing to build on that community partnership as they expand the program.

“That’s what’s going to make the difference, to get some of these larger players involved and to make this their cause,” Nicol said. “We’re in search of partners that have the same kind of vision we have, that will continue to push it along.”

Prom Angels will hold their first major fundraiser on Saturday, Oct. 2 — a golf tour-nament at the Pembroke Coun-

try Club. Tickets cost $125 per golfer or $30 for the dinner, which will follow the tourna-ment. The foundation also is looking for sponsors — $100 for a hole, $1,000 for a table or $2,500 for the event. To sign up or donate, call McKenna at 617-529-9166, e-mail Nicol at [email protected] or vis-it promangelsfoundation.org.

People also can help by donating their old prom and bridesmaid dresses, dropping them off at Stitch’N Time, 270 Main St., Hanson or at the golf tournament. Donors will re-ceive $20 worth of raffle tick-ets for the event, Nicol said.

Already, the prom has led to new opportunities for local residents.

On Oct. 30, the Pembroke Knights of Columbus, with help from the Prom Angels, will host their annual Hal-loween party for young adults with special needs and their families. The event is open to all families in the area; RSVP by contacting McKenna or Nicol.

“We’ve had some other great spin-offs that have hap-pened because we’ve done the prom,” Nicol said. “Healthtrax [in Hanover], for example, started a special needs Zumba class. And Pembroke Country Club is getting ready to launch the first special needs golf league — we’re going to be starting that next year.”

“They’re going to be able to close down the course for nine holes of golf for these children and young adults to go in there and learn how to play. We’re working out the logistics right now, but that will be in place next spring,” McKenna added.

He said he had been visit-ing other golf courses in the area to discuss a possible golf league. Already, three other courses have expressed inter-est.

“It’s taking on a life of its own,” McKenna said of Prom Angels. “It’s growing and growing. We’re going to be able to make a huge differ-ence.”

The group also is looking to start a Pembroke basketball league.

“We’re getting out there. People are starting to recog-nize us in the community,” McKenna said. “Our goal is to have this be just like the Jim-my Fund and the Easter Seals — that well known. We’re shooting for the stars.”

Lloyde McCurdy Cooke, 88


Being from a small town in rural Ohio, I know what it’s like to feel safe in your community. I grew up in a no-stoplight town where we often

left not only our vehicles but the doors to our house un-locked while we were away. The occasional break-in or case of vandalism occurred, but it wasn’t often enough to cause us any real concern. And I can only recall one or two cases where someone I knew was burglarized.

But times change. Populations change. People become more desperate for cash or items they can trade in for cash, or those people who have always existed find their way to your town. And in a nice, small town like Pembroke, good people who have always trusted their neighbors find them-selves the victim of a crime.

Each week in the Express’ police log, I see numerous cases of vehicle break-ins. Though house break-ins have been more frequent of late as well — a reality that is per-

haps even more concerning — it’s the vehicle break-ins that bother me. Not because of what is taken — GPS

units, iPods, wallets, purses, cash and other items — but because, in nearly every case, the crime likely could have been avoided. Because, in most cases, the vehicle was left unlocked.

Each week, I talk with Pembroke Police Lt. Mike Jen-ness about these cases, which he refers to as “crimes of opportunity.” In most cases, it seems one person or several people simply walked through a neighborhood, tried each vehicle door, rummaged through the ones left unlocked, and took what they could find. Lt. Jenness has noted, particularly in the winter when officers could follow tracks in the snow, that vehicles that probably would have been broken into were left alone after the would-be burglar tried the door, found it locked and moved on.

I report these cases each week. I talk with people around town about it. Yet almost every week, I end up reporting another few cases of vehicle break-ins.

I’m not blaming the victims — it’s not your fault some-one chose to invade your space in this way, and I can only imagine what it feels like to wake up in the morning to find that someone has stolen from you. I’m not saying a locked door will protect you from all those who might want to take advantage. But it’s a start.

When I am in Pembroke — or parked in my driveway in a nearby town — even though part of me wants to be-lieve the best of my neighbors, I lock my car. It’s a simple thing. It doesn’t make me feel particularly great about the world. In fact, it makes me feel a little sad, a little old. Sometimes in the morning when I’m balancing my camera bag, purse and a hot cup of coffee, I grumble to find the car door locked and that I have to dig for my key. Still, I lock those doors.

I would like to ask all our readers to do the same. I’d like to see a weekly police log empty of vehicle break-ins. (OK, I’d like to see a weekly police log empty of a lot of other things, too, but we can start small.)

At the very least, we can make it more difficult for these guys.

— Becca Manning, Editor

Dear Pembroke: Lock your vehicles

On Sept. 1, President Obama declared an end to combat operations in

Iraq. Even so, Bush’s war can hard-

ly be declared “Mission Accom-plished.” Iraq has not delivered the outcome envisioned by the Bush administration, or by those who supported the war.

And, as expressed by Political Animal’s Steve Benen, “There’s still, obviously, a precarious en-vironment on the ground. Iraqi politicians are still struggling badly to form a government; deadly violence is not uncommon; and no one is quite sure what will unfold in the absence of U.S. combat brigades. With tens of thousands of troops, and many more private contractors, still in Iraq, anyone who thinks this is ‘over’ is mistaken.”

On Sept. 11, 2001, 2,977 lives were lost. After the collapse of the World Trade Center, workers were exposed to toxic dust and fumes. People who breathed harmful air on their way to work were affected. There is an indeterminate number for those injured and who will have life-long physical and mental health disabilities.

Unquestionably, 9/11 was a horrific attack. However, Operation Iraqi Freedom produced 4,736 combatant casualties, an estimated 97,814 to 106,752 civilians were killed, and an inde-terminate number of lifelong combatant and non-combatant traumatic brain injuries, PTSD, other mental ailments and physical wounds. Long-term societal effects on the lives of com-batants and non-combatants and their families also are indeterminate. How about the children of Iraq who have only examples of violence in their lives, long-term — how is this war’s grief going to affect them? As adults, what will their disposition be? Will it be alienation? What will be the total cost of our retribution?

A case in point of how war affects families is the heartbreaking story of Carlos Arredondo

of Jamaica Plain as told in “They Kill Alex,” by Chris Hedges. Carlos lost a son, Alex, a 20-year-old Marine who was part of the first unit to invade Iraq and was killed in action on his second tour of duty in An Najaf, Iraq on Aug. 25, 2004.

When Carlos was advised of his son’s death, he called out “Mama! They are telling me Alex got killed! Alex got killed! They kill Alex!” His mother crumbled in grief. Carlos went to the large picture of his son in

the living room and held it. Out of anguish and grief, he set afire the Marine Corps van of those who brought him such devastating news. Carlos burned 26 percent of his body in the process. It’s the anguish of a father who lost his son in war.

Hedges writes in his column, “Alex usually asked his father not to ‘forget’ him, but now, in-creasingly in the final days of his life, another word was taking the place of forget. It was for-give. He felt his father should not forgive him for what he was doing in Iraq. Don’t forgive me, Dad.” The sentence bewildered him, until, as Carlos says, “I thought, when he died, my God, he has killed somebody.”

Carlos’s belated realization is one that Americans ignore as well. Too many Americans fail to have the fundamental comprehension that war is all about death and destruction. They “prefer to keep war sanitized and wrapped in the patriotic slogans of glory, honor and heroism.” However, as depicted in the documentary film, “The Good Soldier,” the brutal reality is that a soldier is taught to kill. It’s their job.

Hedges says, “This is what happens every week to some family in America. This is what war does. And this is the grief and pain the gov-ernment does not want people to see.” Opera-tion New Dawn, the Iraq mission’s new phase, will not change that fact.

On Sept. 15, two American soldiers were killed in Iraq and two more American families are now facing Carlos’s realization.

Mr. Chilcott just wrote a long, lov-ing and adoring letter about all the reasons why we, the voters, should send Dan Webster back to Beacon Hill for another two years. He calls Mr. Webster the voice of reason. He says that he will vote for the best inter-est of the district. He says that Mr. Webster is plugged into environmental issues and, my favorite, is that Mr. Webster will protect local aid. And, he will do all this and cut taxes, too. Typical sound bites and buzz words.

But what Mr. Chilcott does not say is how Mr. Webster will accomplish all of these wonderful things. No Republi-can is willing to tell us specifi-cally what they would cut to lower taxes. Anybody who has any real understanding about

things like local aid knows that local aid is dependent on state revenues. Anybody who has paid attention in the last four years knows that state rev-enues are down drastically due to the drop in the collection of capital gains taxes. Those rev-enues are down as a result of the economic crash brought on by the policies of the previous Republican administration in Washington that allowed the banking industry to run amuck and led to the collapse of the housing market.

OK, so state revenues are down. State employees have been laid off, departments have been consolidated and whole programs have been ei-ther eliminated of reduced. So what is next? Local aid! And if local aid is cut, you will see teachers, police and firefighters laid off. When a municipality has to eliminate one position, they have to lay off two people to pay for it because of the cost

of unemployment. So now you are actually increasing the un-employment rate by cutting taxes — not creating jobs. You can’t have it both ways. If you want services, you have to pay for them.

Mr. Webster has a deplor-able attendance record at his job on Beacon Hill. He takes his $60,000 plus paycheck from us and is often a no-show at his job. Only now that he has a real challenger in Josh Cutler from Duxbury has he been on our radar screens. He is every-where now, but that has not been the case for the last eight years. He had been in absentia. It is too little, too late. Time for a change! If I am going to pay for someone to represent me in the legislature, I fully ex-pect him to be there and doing the people’s business and not doing his private law practice business elsewhere.

Town Meeting for a new paint job (so far, nothing done there). The town should consider the example of neighboring com-munities that have placed shut-tered church-owned buildings on the open market.

TUFTS MEDICAL CENTERIn clinical affiliation with

The Silver Ribbon, Gallery of American Crafts is closing its

doors after 23 years of busi-ness in Pembroke. I am heart-broken over this. The gallery was a beautiful place to find the perfect gift for any occa-sion. You could always count on owner Donna Avila to find unique handmade art and jew-elry to select from. I have loved shopping at The Silver Ribbon and I have loved working there even more. I will miss getting to know our customers, the ex-citement of opening the boxes after a UPS delivery and the enjoyment of displaying the new pieces on the shelves and

jewelry in the cases. Donna has a gifted artistic eye, and she is a gem of a person and boss. The Pembroke and South Shore business communities are los-ing something very special.

I blame the economy for what is happening to the gal-lery. I can ask, “Whose fault is it?” I know it is not Don-na’s fault, that’s for sure. The Republicans would blame the Democrats and President Obama, the Democrats would blame the Republicans and former President Bush, and the Tea Party would just rant. All I know is that it stinks! Please, candidates that are out there campaigning, calling me

on the phone, sending me fly-ers and knocking on my door begging for my vote and tell-ing me that they know what is wrong with the economy and why they can fix it — get your heads together with all the oth-er elected officials and put the local businesses and residents in your areas at the top of your priority list. The empty store-fronts and “store closing” signs are epidemic and depressing.

In the meantime, come say goodbye to The Silver Ribbon! It has been a pleasure working there and we have enjoyed be-ing a part of Pembroke.

Beth DwyerHill Farm Road

Sad to see Silver Ribbon close its doors —

I think it’s safe to say that everyone is feeling economic pains at this

time. It’s becoming increas-ingly difficult for a number of individuals and families to balance their checkbooks, put their children through school and save money for retire-ment. Even more troubling is the fact that the Massachusetts state legislature has passed a series of tax increases to add to these burdens over the last two years. Be it the sales tax increase, additional taxes on alcohol and cigarettes or in-creased nursing home fees, it’s becoming harder and harder to live and raise a family here in Taxachusetts.

Thankfully, we have a voice at the State House who has stood up against the status quo on Beacon Hill over the

last four terms and has never voted for a tax hike. It’s com-forting to know that State Rep-resentative Daniel Webster has actively opposed every tax in-crease to come before him and owns a track record to prove it. The taxpayers of our state have been used like the legislature’s personal piggy bank time and time again, and I’m happy to know the buck stops at Rep. Webster’s desk when it comes to further tax burdens.

More members of the leg-islature should take a page from Rep. Webster’s book and prioritize revenue used for state spending before pass-ing wasteful pork. Let’s make the smart choice and send him back to Beacon Hill to protect both your wallet and mine.

Vincent Cogliano Jr.Old Washington Street

On Nov. 2, I’d urge all of you to vote for change and

elect Josh Cutler as our new state representative. Since Josh decided to run nearly a year ago, he has been all over Pembroke. During the past year, whether it was knocking on people’s doors or meeting people at town events, he’s listened to people’s concerns and he’s displayed a passion for wanting to help give Pem-broke and our entire district better representation on Bea-con Hill, for Democrats, Inde-pendents and Republicans.

As a small business owner, he knows that pragmatic solu-tions and not partisan potshots are what’s going to be needed to help get people back to work, that continuing to im-prove education in our state is a cornerstone of our children’s futures and that accessibility to our state representative can’t

only occur during the weeks leading up to an election.

Too often, I believe our district has been ignored by Josh’s opponent, longtime incumbent Dan Webster. Ear-lier this summer, the Boston Globe reported that Webster’s law license was suspended by the state “after receiving re-ports from his bank about bad checks written on an account used to hold and pay out client funds.” Webster’s response to the Globe was “I have a busy law office.” That’s likely true since, in 2008, Webster had the fourth worst voting atten-dance record on Beacon Hill. That’s not leadership.

In times like this, we need somebody that is going to work hard every day, not for his clients, but for his constitu-ents. Josh Cutler is the person for that job.

While everyone at the wineries is frantically busy for the next couple of weeks, they are still set up and happy to receive you for a tasting and tour. Each winery has specific hours and days when they are open to the public. Most have gift shops, and they all proudly sell their wines directly from the winery. Some even offer concerts open to the public.

Here are some favorites:

Westport Rivers Vineyards & WineryLocation: 417 Hix Bridge Rd., Westport, Mass.Phone: 800-993-9695Web site: westportrivers.com

The Russell Family has achieved the highest quality with their wines of any winery in New England. Their Cuvee RJR Brut sparkling wine is a testament to the potential of the region as a legitimate wine-growing appellation. They also make a fantastic Imperial Sec sparkling wine as well as many other excellent choices. Like all the wineries in the region, they emphasize grape varieties that do well in our generally cool climate, quite similar to the climate of plac-es like Champagne, Germany, northern Italy and Austria.

Winemaker Bill Russell says this has been the best weather since his family es-tablished the winery in 1986.

“We might have come close to this quality in 1991 but Hurricane Bob came in at harvest time and ruined every-thing,” Russell said. “Today, on Sept. 20, we’re looking at ripeness levels that we would normally get in the second week of October. We’re actu-ally going to make a red Pinot Noir this year for the first time ever. The grapes are so juicy and sweet right now. Everyone at the winery is so jazzed for the vintage. It’s unbelievable!”

Newport VineyardsLocation: 909 East Main Rd. (Route 138), Middletown, R.I.Phone: 401-848-5161Web site: newportvineyards.com

Those fat, dark purple, ripe grapes mentioned in the intro-duction were sunning them-selves luxuriously at Newport Vineyards. They make a beau-tifully aromatic blend called Tranquility, a worthy Ries-ling, a fabulous dessert Vidal Ice-wine and a few eccentrici-ties such as their hearty Blau-frankish. Good wines and a good tour.

Sakonnet VineyardsLocation: 162 West Main Rd., little Compton, R.I.Phone: 401-635-8486Web site: sakonnetwine.com

New England’s oldest winery is celebrating its 35th anniversary this year. A few

highlights to taste include the best Gewurztraminer made in New England, a snappy, pure Vidal Blanc, and a robust 35th Anniversary Claret.

Greenvale VineyardsLocation: 582 Wapping Rd., Portsmouth, R.I.Phone: 401-847-3777Web site: greenvale.com

This historic old New Eng-land farm produces a light and lively white they call Skipping Stone White. The also make a beautifully floral Pinot Gris. Visit on a Saturday and attend one of the jazz concerts in the tasting room. They also have Friday night concerts as well as book signings.

Plymouth WineryLocation: 170 Water St., Plymouth, Mass.Phone: 508-746-3532Web site: plymouthwinery.com

It’s just 15 minutes away!

And they have some delicious fruit wines, my favorite being their cranberry. They have ex-panded the offerings consider-ably over the past few years.

Good grapes: A very good vintage this yearDriving past Newport Vineyards

on Route 138 one sunny af-ternoon last week, I was sud-

denly aware of something I should have been expecting but had somehow forgot-ten: fat bunches of dark purple grapes that had spent an entire summer gorging on sun-shine. It’s harvest time! Le vendange.

The same glorious weather conditions that allowed the corn to be the sweetest and juiciest, the tomatoes most abundant and ripe and nearly everything from the garden more bountiful than any year in recent memory also was blissfully per-fect for grapes. As my vinous radar started to pick up on the

vineyards immediately to my right, information be-gan to click in my brain, “Hey, wasn’t this a stunner

of sunshine all summer long? Wasn’t the infrequent rain the exact amount necessary to sustain health and allow exqui-site concentration of flavor in grape? Wouldn’t these unique weather conditions be just as beneficial to New England win-eries as they are to the great chateaux of Bordeaux, historic hills of Burgundy or celebrated wineries of Napa Valley?” Well, all my questions were rendered rhetorical as those fat, purple/black bunches of grapes came into focus. They radi-ated extract and concentration. What became so obvious in a flash was that we are witnessing, (drum roll, please) … THE VINTAGE OF THE CENTURY!

Exciting stuff to those in the local wine business. And it should be seen as an exciting opportunity for all fans of wine and local agriculture. In case you aren’t aware of it, there are dozens of wineries in New England — 30 or so in Massachusetts and Rhode Island alone. A check of two Web sites, coastalwinetrail.com or the New England Wine Gazette (recordernewspapers.com under Special Sections), will supply you with all the information you need for plan-ning a fun, informative and easy day trip to one of the local wineries. The combination of a perfect harvest season and New England’s glorious fall foliage guarantees wonderful visits to any of our local wineries.

The Titans have played well in their last two games with nothing to show for it. They made sure they came away with something on Monday.

Pembroke found the back of the net three times while goalie Pat Heffernan and the Titan defense shut down the Middleboro Sachems in a 3-0

Pembroke win at the high school.

Matt Butler, Tristan Birn-stiel and Andrei Greenfield scored to give the Titans a much-needed boost after a 2-0 loss to Hanover on Friday.

“I felt like the last couple

of games we’ve just been un-lucky,” head coach George Stagno said. “Today we made the key plays when we need-ed to. Our defense was great; [sweeper] Connor Leddin had the game of his life.”

The Titans improved to 2-4 overall and 2-2 in Patriot League play with the win. They will face the Whitman-Hanson Panthers on the road.

Brendan Adams returns to action on Tuesday and picks up second place for Pembroke in their quad meet win.

The boys cross-country team was supposed to take it easy during their quad meet at the high school on Tuesday, but their competitive streak won out.

Wesley Gallagher, Bren-dan Adams and Ryan Kelley came out flying to lead the Titans to wins over Duxbury 21-50, Silver Lake 16-50 and Middleboro 15-50.

The top three Titans trad-ed leads throughout the race, but it was Gallagher who crossed the finish line first in 15 minutes and 34 seconds. Adams followed 10 seconds later, with Kelley coming in 11 seconds behind him — 14 seconds ahead of Duxbury’s top runner Jason Angel.

“The plan was to go out nice and relaxed and then run

the last mile hard,” Zopatti said. “But they were flying right out of the box. But none of them looked overworked at the end. They all had some-thing left in the tank, which was good to see.”

Joe Vercollone and Ryan Moran finished seventh and ninth overall to round out the scoring, and Jesse Fine also finished in less than 17 min-utes. James Coner, Johnny Valeri and Mike DiTocco all came close to the 17-minute mark

“Having that many run-ners close to 17 minutes is awesome,” Zopatti said. “This is why I think we are a deeper team this year. Last year, I felt like we had six or seven good guys up front, but this year I think we have at least 15 who could step up and run varsity.”

The Titans will face the defending Keenan Division champion Whitman-Hanson Panthers on their home course Tuesday in what should be a good tune-up for the team heading into their regional invitational at Bowdoin Col-lege. The Panthers’ top runner, Tyler Sullivan, was fifth in the state at the All State meet last year, and junior Pat Ryan has been right on his heels so far this season. Zopatti plans to have his big guns let Sullivan dictate the pace in the early going before trying to outrun him down the stretch.

“It’s always easier to run a strong third mile than to ex-plode off the starting line,” Zo-patti said. “Whitman-Hanson is going to be more interest-ing, but we want to be ready for Bowdoin. We’re going to release the hounds there.”

The girls volleyball team had five days between games this week, and the layoff cost them on Monday.

After being blown out of the first two sets by Hanover, Pembroke mounted a come-back, but it was too little too late in a 3-1 loss to the Indians at the high school.

The Titans came out slug-gish and took 25-14 and 25-16 losses in the first two sets be-fore rallying for a 25-13 win in

the third. However, they could not sustain their momentum and suffered a game-clinching 25-16 loss in the fourth set.

“We did not play well at all in the first two sets,” head coach Dave Rix said. “It was like a volleyball coma; we were not playing to our abil-ity. I’m proud of the girls for turning it around, but it never should have gotten to that.”

The loss was the first of the season for Pembroke against a Patriot League opponent and their second overall. They play the two-time defending champion North Quincy Red Raiders on the road Monday before returning home to face Middleboro.

Charge!

Wesley Gallagher leads fellow Titans Brendan Adams, Ryan Kelley and Ryan Moran to an easy win at Tuesday’s quad meet. Pg 23.


The Pembroke High School football team started the game off with a fumble on their first drive, and then allowed Carver to march down the field and take a 6-0 lead on a touchdown. But they learned from their mis-takes quickly.

That three-yard touch-down run by Zach Wig-gins would be all Pembroke would allow the Crusaders as the Titans’ running game and offensive line had their way with Carver in a 19-6 win at Carver on Saturday.

Captain Pat Walsh pushed the pile into the end zone from two yards out on the second play of the second quarter, and Matt Allen’s point after gave the Titans a 7-6 lead.

Jon Hooper padded the lead in the second half with an 18-yard run in the third quarter, and Brian Tinkham broke off a big gain in the fourth for a 14-yard touchdown run.

The success of the run-ning game was a welcome sight for head coach Bob Ban-croft after the Titan offense struggled on every drive in their first game against Hull.

“We averaged about seven yards-per-carry, and I was really happy about that,” Bancroft said. “We hadn’t had any offense against Hull, so we really needed this. There

were a lot of positives.”Junior Dan McCourt led

the staunch Pembroke de-fense for the second week in a row. Bancroft moved Mc-Court from linebacker to de-fensive lineman against the Crusaders, and he responded with 10 tackles and an assist.

“Dan had an outstanding game,” Bancroft said. “He was just immense.”

The Titans improved to 2-0 with the win and will play their home opener Friday at 4 p.m. when the host the Nor-well Clippers in a non-league game.

Heather Connick had her first real test of the season at the front of the pack, as did Pembroke’s pack of Gabby Molignano, Jess Leary and Joyce Simon, when the Titans met Duxbury, Middleboro and Silver Lake on the high school cross-country course.

All four Titans responded, and Pembroke picked up three wins heading into the tough-est race on their schedule next week. The Titans outran Dux-bury 20-37 while adding 18-54 and 15-50 wins over the Sachems and the Lakers to im-prove to 5-0 on the season.

“The girls were awesome today,” head coach Greg Zo-patti said. “There were so many kids running with four teams here that this felt like a state meet, and I was happy with how they did.”

Coming off winning her age group in the Duxbury tri-athlon over the weekend, Con-nick had to fend off the chal-lenge of Duxbury’s top runner, Lauren Bittrich. Both girls were neck-and-neck coming out of the woods portion of the course, but Connick blew past her in the final mile to take first place by 12 seconds.

“It was nice for Heather to have some competition,” Zo-patti said. “It gave her some-one to run with, and I liked how she handled it while still staying in her goals. She didn’t look overworked and neither did Chelsea [Savage].”

Savage finished the race in third place, running essen-tially by herself, as she fin-ished almost one minute be-hind Bittrich but nearly half a minute ahead of Middleboro’s top runner Dasha Hamilton. Molignano and Leary both fin-ished ahead of Silver Lake’s top runner and Duxbury’s number two, and Simon fin-ished the scoring for the Titans when she crossed the finish line in ninth place overall.

The Titans will travel to Whitman-Hanson on Tuesday to run against the defending undefeated league champion Panthers, who are coming into the meet after decisive wins

over Randolph and Hanover. Zopatti is going to add captain Mary Scanlan into the mix on Tuesday with the hopes that she, Connick and Savage will be able to split up Rachel Baker, Abby Baker and Kaley Mientkiewicz, who have fin-ished 1-2-3 for the Panthers in each of their first two races.

“Connick should be the best runner in that race, but the Bakers are just phenomenal athletes,” Zopatti said. “I’m hoping Savage will be able to split them up and Scanlan will be able to run with [Mient-kiewicz]. It will then be up to my four, five and six runners. Gabby is running great, and I know Jess Leary still has more in the tank.”

Zopatti said this is going to be one of the biggest races of the year for the girls in terms of determining their prospects for the end of the season. The Panthers flattened the Titans last year, and Zopatti said nei-ther he nor the team has for-gotten it.

“They killed us,” he said. “I think they may be slightly better than us this year in terms of depth, but this is go-ing to be a very close race. I can’t wait.”
