Pembroke fourth gradersperformed considerably high-er in mathematics on the 2010Massachusetts ComprehensiveAssessment System test, goingfrom 48 percet prociet orabove in 2009 to 67 percent onthe latest test.

But though a 19-point

jump is nice to see, PembrokePublic Schools SuperintendentFrank Hackett said it’s hard to

judge Pembroke’s success justby those numbers.

“The challenge with thisdata is that there’s a lot of it,

and there are times where it’smeaningful and there are timeswhere it’s not necessarily clearwhat caused the gains or de-clines,” he said. “It’s OK tolook at one year to the next,but one year to the next doesn’treally tell us much in terms of the overall story. Overall, if westart to see trends, then we cancome to the conclusion that

what we’re doing program-matically is working.”Instead, Hackett said he

A visit with Mike MuzykaLocal musician brought tunes to market this season

By Mike tropeano

express contriButor

R

esidents who havefrequented thePembroke Farm-

ers Market have been treatedto some easy listening as theyvisit the nearly 20 vendorseach week setting up shop onthe Town Green. Mike Muzy-ka, occasionally joined by hisdaughter Melanie, has beenproviding background musicranging from James Taylor tothe Rolling Stones. Muzyka,who lives in town with hiswife Helen and two children,has been a resident of Pem-broke since 1987.

When did you beginplaying? How have you ex-

panded your involvementwith music? I was probablynine years old [when I beganplaying]. They were startinga Ukrainian orchestra in mychurch. The leader was look-ing for people to play eitherthe mandolin or guitar. Myparents asked me if I was in-terested and I decided to playthe guitar and have been play-ing ever since. I may have de-cided to play on my own, butthat helped give me a start. Ialso play the electric bass.

My daughter, Melanie,

was taking lessons with PeteSmith at 3D Gitars i Pem-broke. She had started play-ing the clarinet in school andmoved on to the saxophone.Pete, who owns the studio,asked me to be a teacher.

Who inspired you toplay? What types of musicdo you enjoy playing? TheBeatles were the big thingwhen I was growing up. I re-ally wanted to learn how toplay their stuff. Even thoughI was only about nine, theyreally got me into music. I

am into classic rock. I mostlyplay electric music, rock androll, blues, ’70s and ’80s rock.Some of the new stuff is notthat bad, but it is not like thestuff from back then.

How did you end upplaying at a farmers mar-ket? What type of reactionhave you received? My wife

told me that they were hav-ing one in town and they werelooking for entertainment.She thought it would be agood idea to call Matt York tosee if they still needed anyoneand would be interested inhaving me play. He thought itwas a good idea and I startedto play. We talked about whattype of music would be good.He wanted to make sure itwas acoustic. I have specialmaterial for when I play here.The people have been really

good, and it has been a goodexperience.

Will you continue toplay after the farmers mar-ket season ends? I am hop-ing to continue to play. I havea rock band that I am puttingtogether and want to continueplaying out locally with them.It is really tough to nd plac-es to play because DJs havetaken away a lot of places wewould play and have givenbands more competition forplaces to play.

Do you see a revivalin music with our youth? The thing that I see the mostthrough my students is theirlike of music from the ’70s.They are constantly askingto learn and play music fromLed Zepplin, Eric Clapton andGrand Funk Railroad. Manyreally like classic rock musi-cians. I even see many lik-ing bands like AC/DC. I wasgiven tickets to go see LynyrdSkynyrd and was surprisedby how many young people

where there.Do you write any origi-

nal music? Yes, three of thesongs that I played at thefarmers market were my own.One was about my daughter,Melanie, and another wasabout how the world needsto slow down. I really needto record it as I am putting ittogether, otherwise I will for-get the words that I came upwith. If I don’t, I will try toplay it the next week and haveno idea what I wrote.

The Board of Health vot-ed Monday night to lift the 7p.m. curfew on evening ac-tivities at Pembroke elds adparks. Health ofcials, alog

with the Pembroke RecreationCommission, implemented thecurfew on Aug. 31 in an effortto protect residents against theEastern Equine Encephalitisvirus, which is spread by mos-quitoes.

“We still want people tobe vigilant,” Board of Healthmember Tommy Driscoll saidTuesday. “Obviously, people— especially small children —should be covered and protect-ed against mosquito bites. Thethreat is lessened, but it hasn’tcompletely gone away.”

Driscoll said the threat of EEE wouldn’t disappear un-til the seaso’s rst big frost,which would kill the mosquitopopulation.

Pending Recreation Com-missio approval, all elds,playgrounds and courts underthe control of the RecreationDepartmet will be ope for

evening activities after 7 p.m.Pembroke High School’s

home football games weremoved to 4 p.m. under thecurfew, and the games shouldbe moved back to 7 p.m., ac-cording to Pembroke Public

Schools Superinten-dent Frank Hackett.

On Tuesday,the Pembroke HighSchool Athletic De-partment sent out ane-mail announcingthat Friday’s homefootball game againstNorth Quincy will

be played at 7 p.m. instead of 4 p.m., aswas scheduled.

A Pembroke man has been

charged in several house break-ins after his vehicle was seen inthe driveway of a Birch Streethome broken into on Friday.

Police received a callaround 10:30 a.m. on Friday,Sept. 24 stating a man hadbeen seen running behind ahouse on Birch Street. Thewitness also gave a Massachu-setts license plate number fora vehicle that was parked inthe house’s driveway. The ve-hicle was registered to a JohnK. Kingsley, 29, of HarvardStreet, according to reports.

When police arrived at theBirch Street home, they wereunable to locate the vehicle.Ofcers did d that a rearwindow had been pried open,and a sneaker print was foundon a washing machine near thewindow.

Ofcers the wet toKingsley’s home, where theyobserved a pair of orange boltcutters in clear view on thefrot passeger side oor of Kingsley’s vehicle, which wasparked in his driveway, ac-cording to reports.

When questioned by po-lice, Kingsley allegedly toldpolice he had entered the homeon Birch Street but was struckby his conscience. He stated topolice he realized he was do-ing something wrong and leftwithout taking anything.

He was later charged withtaking jewelry and cash total-ing more than $250 from thehome.

With Kingsley’s consent,police searched his home andfound a pair of sneakers thatreportedly matched the printleft on the washing machine at

the Birch Street home.Kingsley was arrested and

charged with felony breakingand entering, vandalism, pos-session of a burglarious instru-ment and larceny over $250in the Birch Street break-in.He was arraigned last Fridayi Plymoth District Cort,where he pled not guilty. Hewas being held on $500 cashbail as of Tuesday.

Kingsley also has beencharged with felony breakingand entering and larceny over$250 in a separate break-in on

Taylor Street. An arrest war-rant for those charges was is-sued Monday, and Kingsleywill answer to those chargesonce he has been released onthe rst case.

Pembroke Police Lt. MikeJenness said Kingsley is beinglooked at as a suspect in someadditional break-ins in Pem-broke, Dxbry ad Plym-outh.

“As a result of a searchwarrant, the property takenfrom Friday’s breaks was re-

covered from his [Kingsley’s]house, a shed on his propertyand his motor vehicle,” Jen-ness said.

A laptop computer andSony camcorder were recov-ered, both of which containedvideo clips and footage of afamily from Taylor Street,who later idetied the itemsas stolen from their home.

The Taylor Street break-in also was reported Fridaymorning, less than an hourafter the Birch Street incidentwas called in.

Taylor Street resident Ste-fanie Haen said she had arrivedhome and sensed somethingwas awry when she walked inthe door.

“I went to drop my coins

into my change jar and real-

ized the change jar was miss-ing,” she said.

After realizing that otheritems were missing, includ-ing a camera, Haen called herhusband, Gene, who then con-tacted police about the pos-sible break.

The investigation is ongo-ing. Jenness said police arecontinuing to identify and pro-cess recovered property thatmay have been taken fromhouses in Pembroke and sur-rounding communities.

Kingsley is due back inPlymoth District Cort oOct. 19 for a pretrial hearingon the Birch Street break-in.

Kingsley’s attorney, Pa-mela Churchill, did not returna call for comment as of press

time.

TIME TO PLANT

YOUR LAWNAfew nights ago, I decided thatI had spent enough time work-ig i the ofce. I took myself

up to the Hanover Mall to go to an early

movie. I had been dying to see the newlm called “The Tow.” I love movieswith some local avor ad air. I loveit when I can recognize the buildingsand scenery that are part of it. It wasdeitely excitig to see the parts of “The Tow” that were lmed i Bos-ton. It was even more exciting to see theparts that were lmed i a orist shopthat is owned by a friend of mine. It was a thrill to try to placemyself i that shop as part of the movie. I have bee i this oristshop hundreds of times over the years — to purchase an arrange-ment, to visit my friend and to attend a party. I draw the line,however, and hope never to be in any shop when someone drawsa gun! I’ll leave that part of the excitement solely to the movies.That anticipation would be just too much stimulation for any one

day. And now let’s see what’s going on around town.

a wonderful job of organizing.They put everything togeth-er. They’ve done everythingright. I can’t say enough aboutthem.”

Over at the information

tent, market co-founders Chris-tine Falk and Matt York alsotalked about the year’s suc-cess. Though they are lookingforward to some time off, theysaid they will miss the market.

“It’s been fantastic. Thetown’s been great,” Falk said.“We’ve got a nice group of vendors, and it’s really createda nice community atmosphere.Matt and I were saying thismorning we’re going to missour Saturday routine of com-ing down, hanging out andchatting with everybody.”

The brother and sister pairrst bega meetig with iter-ested vendors last August. Atthe time, bringing a market toPembroke was just an idea —a way to help bring fresh, localproducts to residents. But withthe help of a few dedicatedbusiness people and volun-teers, the market dream wasrealized, ad the rst Pem-broke Farmers Market openedon Saturday, July 10. The mar-ket was held every Saturdaythis summer from 9 a.m. tonoon on the Town Green.

“It exceeded all expecta-

tions,” York said. “We’ve beenbusy every week. It went frombeig a evet those rst few

weeks to just something wherepeople come to shop eachweek. It’s like going to the su-permarket or going to the postofce. People come i, they

get what they need every weekand they come back again.”I its rst year, the market

was blessed with almost per-fect weather every week. Theonly possible glitch came withHurricane Earl — York saidthey were worried the rainwold ood the gree — bteven that turned out not to bea problem, as Earl missed theSouth Shore, and the greenwas dry and ready for businessthat Saturday.

“We’ve gotten to know somany people — not just thevendors, but a lot of the people

who come here each week,”York said. “The other thingI think is really great is thatit’s helped a lot of these smallbusinesses that people don’tknow about. Suddenly they doknow about them, and hope-flly they’ll be dig them ithe off-season.”

For Falk, the market hasaccomplished her main goal.

“I think my favorite thingabout the market is seeing peo-ple come down and buy goodfood, which was the driving

force for getting this startedi the rst place,” she said.“People are even experiment-ing and trying new foods.”

Eventually, Falk wouldlike to expand the market tooffer educational programs oneating healthy and local foodthrough the schools, library orat the market.

The organizers have a lotof ideas for the future — hop-ing to expand the entertain-ment offered, have a collectionfor the Pembroke Food Pantryand possibly extend the season.They will begin meeting againthis winter to talk about the2011 season. Information willbe available on their Web site,pembrokefarmersmarket.org.

Peter Reading of Billings-gate Farm said he did extreme-ly well at the market.

“People were glad to seeus back,” said Reading, whoseparents operated a farm onCenter Street for many years.These days, Reading operates

a farm on the Halifax/Plymp-ton line, but he was eager toreturn to Pembroke.

“It brings back a lot of memories from my motherand father when they startedfarming many years ago at235 Center Street,” he said.“Things are going really well,and we hope to be back nextyear.”

Adam Maki, who runsTaproot Gardens with friendShawn Dufour, said the twohave enjoyed their rst market.

“It’s been a lot of fun justseeing the people around town

and people trying to be a littlegreen, bringing their bags and

trying to buy local,” Maki said.“We’re really just two mini-farmers in our backyards. It’sbeen a blast.”

Customer Heather Lawsonwas back for her third trip tothe market last Saturday.

“I had the best lettuce I’veever had [from the market],and it lasted forever in thefridge,” she said. “We’ve triedto come back ever since.”

Lynn Ford had just startedher business, Green 101, whenshe heard about the market. Itturned out to be a great way toget her feet wet.

“I was tryig to d prod-ucts that I wanted to use andthings that I was interestedi that I cold’t d else-

where. Then I’d think, well,other people don’t know aboutthese things, so let me see if Ica d a vee to spread itaround a little bit,” she said.“I do sort of have that entre-preneurial spirit, so starting alittle business was an excitingprospect.”

Through Green 101, Fordsells environmentally-friendlyproducts such as the “anti-wa-ter bottle” made of soft reus-able plastic, net produce bags,a shower coach that measuresot ve-mite showers to

conserve water, compostableand biodegradable bags andnotebooks and pens made of recycled materials.

“I’m learning a lot, too.I’m learning how things aremade,” Ford said. “That’s whyit’s Green 101 — it implies alearning curve for me and foreverybody else.”

Monica Fletcher of Marsheld-based Acor Ca-ning Company does two otherfarmers markets along withPembroke’s, but she said thisis her favorite.

“It’s just more open. It

seems to have more custom-ers,” she said. “And I like the

Saturday morning hours.”Fletcher, a plumber by

trade who started canning as ahobby many years ago, is get-ting ready to open a storefront

i Marsheld, bt she plas tobe back next year.

“The markets are what gotme started, so I’m going tokeep the markets,” she said.

Cook once, eat twiceBy Michelle conway, express coluMnist

[email protected]

It’s 5 p.m. and you stand in your kitchen confrontedwith the dinner hour without an answer to the “what’sfor dinner” question. Seven days a week, 365 days a

year, dinner must be served. Allowing for one night per weekof take-out, the average home cook produces more than 300dinners per year. The pressure to deliver a healthy, interesting

meal can feel overwhelming, but with a little bit of forethought,meal preparation doesn’t have to be so daunting. I abide by the“cook once, eat twice” rule in my house. When I cook some-thing, I cook extra to serve either as leftovers or to re-imaginethe main ingredient and turn it into a whole new meal.

Doble yor favorite red sace or sop recipe ad freezehalf of it; allow it to cool, spoon it into a freezer bag and placeit i the freezer i a at pa. Air isthe enemy of food, so take extracare to squeeze out all of the airbefore freezing. Once it is frozenito a freezer-friedly at shape,remove the pan. Banana bread andother breakfast breads are largeenough to serve a family twice.Cut the loaf in half (or into individual slices), tightly wrap andfreeze for another day. Throw extra chicken onto the grill or

into the roasting pan and use the leftovers a few nights later inpasta with Alfredo sauce. Add some frozen peas or broccoli fora easy oe-pot meal. Extra cooked sh ca be mixed ito alentil soup or added to a salad.

Pork tenderloin can be re-purposed and, as an added bonus,it is often on sale. Prepare a roast pork tenderloin dinner as youusually do, but add one extra pound of pork to the pan and saveit for a meal later in the week. Shred the pork and combineit with barbecue sauce for a spin on pulled pork sandwiches.Serve the sandwiches on a hearty bun with some Alexia frozensweet potato fries o the side. Dice leftover pork ad throw itito this avorfl chili.

Pr Cili1 tablespoon vegetable oil1/2 small onion, minced

3 cloves of garlic, minced1/2 teaspoon oregano1/2 teaspoon coriander2 tablespoons chili powder1/4 teaspoon ground cumin1-2 teaspoons cayenne pepper (optional)2 14.5 ounce cans of diced tomatoes with zesty jalapenos2 cups of chicken broth1 16 ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed1 16 ounce can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed1 pound of cooked pork, cubed

Heat the oil in a large pot and sauté the garlic and onion untilsoftened. Add the dry spices (chili powder, cumin and cayenne if using) to the pan and stir for one minute, allowing the spices tobecome fragrant. Add the three cans of tomatoes and the chickenbroth to the pot and simmer for 20 minutes. Add the diced porkand beans and warm through.

Historical Society dinnerThe Pembroke Historical Society will be having an

Italian dinner on Saturday, Oct. 2 at the museum buildingin Pembroke Center. Enjoy a dinner of spaghetti andmeatballs, salad, bread and desserts. The sauce will behomemade with loving care by Historical Society memberStacey DiGiovai.

By elizaBeth Bates, DeMocratic town coMMittee

Like many of you folks, I am gettinga bit shell shocked by this particularpolitical election season. The me-

dia blasts us with the most extreme politicalrhetoric and has us convinced that these wordsrepresent how we feel about government. Theseextremists tell us how angry we are and that ev-ery politicia shold be swept from ofce. Theyeven use dark words like “revolution.” And,like lemmings, we get whipped into frenzy andgo careening of a cliff to oblivion. Let’s take abreak to catch our breath and consider our gov-

ermet ad elected ofcials.

I look for several thingswhen I vote to elect ourpblic ofcials. I look forsomeone whose point of viewreects my ideals. I also lookfor someone who does not

lose touch with their constituency. Accountabil-ity is an important tool by which we should allmeasre or elected ofcials.

For the last 18 years, our senate district hasbeen served by an individual who fullls andoften exceeds my expectations: Senator ThereseMurray. Today, Senator Murray serves as thepresident of the Mass. Senate and with that posi-tion brings our district added prestige and clout.

But is that a good enough reason to con-tinue to elect her as our senator? I measure the

effectiveess of my elected ofcial by their re-sponsiveness to immediate and long-range con-cerns in my community. I would like to sharewith you just two instances within the last twoyears where Senator Murray’s intervention, inthe rst istace, pt a halt to the catastrophictree removal program on Route 53 in Pembrokeand, in the second instance, assisted in gettingthe Route 14 road project out of the doldrumsand back on track and into the queue on theMass. Highway TIP list.

In November 2008, a MassHighwaycontractor began removing healthy trees alongRoute 53, leaving a trail of stumps in its path.In 48 hours, they removed almost 200 trees.I alerted Seator Mrray’s ofce ad, o thesame day, one of the senator’s aides took a ride

to Pembroke to view the damage. The projectwas stopped and the contractor was redirectedto Route 3 to remove dead trees along the high-way. MassHighway also reviewed its policy toallow the contractors to keep the wood.

In 2009, it came to my attention that Pem-broke had lost out on a $5 million earmark puton the 2004 transportation bond bill by SenatorMurray because MassHighway and the townhad failed to hold a public hearing regardingthe Route 14 reconstruction project. SenatorMrray’s ofce arraged a coferece call tothe exective ofce of the Mass. Departmet of Transportation. This call led to the resumptionof the project, the public hearing and the projectally gettig oto the TIP list, which pt it ithe queue for federal and state funding of theproject which is estimated at $7.2 million.

These are just two instances where anaverage citizen sought help from her legislatorand received immediate assistance. This is thekind of person I want representing my interests.Neither of these examples is extraordinary inand of themselves. They are, however, consis-tent with the quality of service we have come toexpect from Senator Murray.

I hope that the voters put aside the barrageof political bombast and choose to stick withthose legislators who have proven themselvestime and again worthy of our vote. I will beproud to once again cast my vote for ThereseMurray.

By patrick chilcott, repuBlican town coMMittee

Pembroke, we have a clear choice onNov. 2: Continue the same one-party,insider deals, special interest politics

we have had in the State Senate as long as I canremember, or vote for a small businessman andlocal government ofcial named Tom Keyes. Ihave lived in Pembroke for over 10 years andhave never seen Terry Murray in our town. I’mnot sure she could nd Pembroke with a GPS.On Nov. 2, we will choose between Tom Keyes— who has said about public service, “I’vealways fought for transparency in government,rejected short-term thinking,

held those in public serviceaccountable to the public andspoken out for what’s right,even when it’s not popular.”— or Therese Murray —who recently compared TeaParty candidates to “nutcases” when address-ing a group of her radical left supporters onthe Cape. Tom Keyes wants transparency andaccountability; Murray needs to deect atten-tion from the issues and continue the politics of division. She tears down her constituents whileTom espouses reading legislation, posting legis-lation online and ensuring there are no back-room 11th hour deals on Beacon Hill.

Pembroke, here is a look at two big issues:Taxes — Senator Murray is proud the

Mass. Senate voted to increase the sales tax;she supports the new tax on alcoholic bever-ages and has been a vocal and proud supporterof decit spedig i Washigto ad Obamac-are. She is the Massachusetts version of NancyPelosi; heck, they could be twins. Tom Keyesis against raising taxes in a recession. He hasbeen vocal about rolling the sales tax back andrepealing the tax on alcohol and would neversupport increased income taxes. Tom believesstate government should be cutting spendingand reforming the special government perksad beet system. He believes that familieshere in Pembroke have been forced to makedue with less, and so should state government.

Illegal Immigration — Tom Keyes be-lieves illegal means “against the law.” Abso-

lutely no social services, no tuition assistance,no driver’s licenses for illegal immigrants. Hebelieves the economic drain from the illegalimmigration problem placed on our state isvast. With an estimated 190,000 illegal immi-grants in Massachusetts (Boston Globe, May27) Tom Keyes is right. A conservative costestimate results in an almost $600 million drainon the state. That means less for our familiesthat were either born here or immigrated herelegally. It means less for schools, less for citiesand towns. Therese Murray’s stance on illegalimmigration: “Everyone has the right to cometo this country; everyone has a right to be a citi-zen. If they don’t come legally, then Congressmust act to pave the way to citizenship.” Shespported Deval Patrick’s proposals to givedriver’s liceses ad state titio beets toillegal immigrants while so many here in Pem-broke wonder how they will cover tuition fortheir own kids. Being against illegal immigra-tion does not mean being against immigrants;it is the “illegal” part that future Keyes and hissupporters are against.

So many of us are not better off than wewere four or even two years ago. After 18 yearsi ofce, it is time for Seator Mrray ad herfailed liberal policies and politics of division tocome to an end. It is time for Beacon Hill to begiven a wake-up call. Join me in ensuring thereis a change of leadership on Beacon Hill —vote for Tom Keyes.

As the Nov. 2 state election draws near, thePembroke Express will be running a series of editorials written by members of the Republi-

ca ad Democratic tow committees abot the electio.This week, writers discuss the candidates

for state senator for the Plymouth andBarstable District. upcomig isses will

feature editorials on races for U.S. repre-sentative, attorney general and governor/lieutenant governor. Coverage of the Sixth

Plymoth District state represetative race will cosist of a series of questions asked of both candidates; answerswill appear each week in the Express (see page 17 for therst qestio ad aswer).

I

just read your opin-ion article in the Ex-press. My rst reac-

tion was, “Great! Someone isally takig this seriosly!”After reading it, my thoughtwas that you took the bait. Myvehicle was broken into abouta year ago and tools, GPS andother items including my wal-let were taken. I called Pem-broke Police and they madeout a report. When I went toRockland Trust, they told memy credit card had been usedand about $350 was chargedbetween 1 a.m. and 3:15 a.m.that morning in Taunton andWareham. The bank gave me

the detailed report indicatingthe charges and locations. Itook this information to thepolice and they said “There isnothing we can do unless wecatch them in the act.” I’ll betyou’ve heard that one before.

I went to the gas stationin Taunton and the 7-Elev-en in Wareham that day andfound that there were eightvideo surveillance cameras atthe gas station and over 22 atthe 7-Eleven inside and out. Iasked the manager if theyhad tapes for the right day

and time; he looked it up andsaid he did and that it showedpeople and a vehicle at the ex-act time my card was used. Iwent right back to the policeand informed the detective of what I had found. I was toldthat he would not be able to goto Wareham due to other casesincluding robberies, attemptedrape, etc. I asked him if I couldgo and pick up the tapes for himand I’d be happy to help himout. He said sure. I said couldyou call the 7-Eleven managerand let him know I’ll be pick-

ing them up. He did. I droveback to Wareham, met with themanager; he asked me for mybadge (he thought the policewas sedig a ofcer). I toldhim I don’t have one and hewould not give me the tapes. Iwent back to the police. The

detective said he would try toget the tapes. I’m still thinkingthat this evidence/informationwould be a key to putting anend to the constant break-insin Pembroke. This has beengoing on too long and nowwe might have the evidencethe police department needs toprosecute.

I called the police chief andexplained the situation to himand that they might have theinfo they need. He said hewould look into it. Then the de-tective called me and was veryupset with me for contactingthe chief. My only intent wasto help him get the resources

he needed for the investiga-tion — now I’m the bad guyfor leaving my car unlockedad callig the chief. They -nally got the tapes with videoof the people using my card atthe checkout counter, gettinggas and the vehicle they werein. Nothing came of it — Inever heard back from po-lice — opportunity lost. Thebreak-ins continue.

I believe part of the prob-lem is that the people doingthe break-ins are not fromPembroke and are system-

atically hitting different areasof town knowing the policewill not pursue them out of town. There have been hun-dreds of vehicle break-ins inPembroke — more than anyother surrounding town, I be-lieve.

My suggestion would beto interview people whose ve-hicles have been broken into— not just the police. Let’sbe sre the ofcials are doigeverything possible before wetake the bait again.

Next time you talk to the

police, ask them if they wouldconsider a “break-in taskforce.”

By the way, I see reportsof houses/sheds being brokeninto now.

“It’swonderful

here,” says Portia.

The Ladies SewingCircle building isnot “shuttered,” nor

is it a “money pit.” It is an his-toric building, well within thehistoric district in the center

of the town. The building isserving a purpose intended byits rst occpats. Wome of the town of Pembroke gath-ered to do projects to help oth-ers. They gave of their timeand talents to help those lessfortunate. It was a goal and amission of First Church.

With that in mind, thepresent day First Church hastransformed the mostly unusedLadies Sewing Circle buildinginto a thriving thrift shop, openthree days a week, with the goalof serving the community. Asa weekly volunteer at the shop,I see and hear what happensthere. Many generous peopledonate their unused or light-ly used clothing and house-hold goods to the shop. Oth-ers come in to look for whatthey need. Oftentimes, I have

heard grateful customers say,“I could not have bought thisin a store; myself (my son/daughter/grandchildren) needthis now.” Workers at commu-ity orgaizatios come to d

items their clients need. Wehave been known to supplyitems free to families whosehome has burned down or whoare furnishing an apartmentand have special needs. I don’tcall that a “shuttered” buildingor a “money pit.”

The church has been ac-tively working with peoplefrom the Community Pres-ervation Committee to meettheir requirements. We cannot

just trudge across the streetwith volunteers and paintpails. Regulations have to bemet and historic guidelines fol-lowed. This is not a slapdashproject. Hopefully, by Pem-broke’s 300th anniversary, theLadies Sewing Circle buildingwill be restored.

Sewing Circle building serves

purpose for community ——

My ame is Dog-las Nelson. Igrew up in Han-

son, and for the last 14 years Ihave lived on Stetson Pond inPembroke. I am the treasurerof the Stetson Pond Preserva-tion Committee, an active out-doorsman, and a believer in thepreservation of our lakes in theSouth Shore area. These gemsare a fragile resource for ourchildren and grandchildren toenjoy in the future. As a tour-amet sherma i the orth-east, I have shed may of or

pristine lakes and ponds inPembroke, Haso, Dxbryand Halifax with my sons.

In recent years, it has cometo my attention that several of

our lakes and ponds have beenravaged by invasive plants andalgae blooms. There are sever-al reasons that create this situ-ation that I will not get into atthis point. What I would like tosay is that Represetative DaWebster has always answeredthe call when our committeeshave asked for help in keepingour local lakes and ponds onthe top of the list in the state toreceive attention.

Representative Websterhas always been hands-on withthe Stetson Pond committee

and the Watershed Associa-tio i tow. Da has attededour meetings and visited localponds to survey the impactthese plants and algae are hav-

ing on our beautiful bodies of water. Representative Websterhas laid the foundation for thepreservation of our lakes andponds, and he has done sowithout raising our taxes.

If you are an avid out-doorsma, sherma or hterand a supporter of the secondamendment and lower taxes, or

just a family who enjoys a nicewalk around the pond, I wouldhope that you would supportRepresentative Webster. Afterall, Da ad his family grewup on the South Shore, and he

has an impeccable record of helping these great communi-ties.

Incumbent supports Pembroke’s ponds ———

There’s an old ad-age that says thatthose who reside in

glass houses shouldn’t throwstones. Last week’s letter to

the editor regarding Repre-sentative Webster’s votingrecord was a grotesque ex-ample of political posturingat work.

The truth? RepresentativeWebster’s voting record lead-ing up to the session that heallegedly missed was 100 per-cent. On the day he arrived atthe State House late (he hadbeen detained because of afamily obligation), a series of votes had been rolled up intoa brief voting session that he

missed by minutes. Since thattime, Representative Web-ster’s voting record and at-tendance on Beacon Hill onour behalf have been nearly

perfect.Unfortunately, the samecannot be said of his oppo-nent. A brief review of thepublic record shows that Mr.Cutler’s attendance and vot-ing record on the PlanningBoard in Duxbury is “deplor-ably” lower than 100 percent.It’s time we put this kind of negative partisan politicsaside and concentrated on thereal issues for a change.

where changes in curriculum,teaching or textbooks mayhave had an impact.

In seventh grade math,for example, starting in 2007,the percent of students who

scored prociet or advacedon MCAS tests, what Hackettcalls “prociet pls,” was 40percent. That jumped to 59 per-cent in 2008, dropped slightlyto 56 percent in 2009 and was64 percent on the most recenttest.

“You look at that and whatwe talk about is that we’veimplemented a brand-newmath curriculum — 2008 wasthe rst year we really got itoour new textbooks, and we’vemade some sigicat chag-es in how we are approaching

math in seventh grade,” Hack-ett said. “It would appear thatwe may be seeig some beetfrom that. But it’s not really asolid conclusion, because wealso know that there was anentirely different group of sev-enth grade students in 2008,2009 and 2010.”

In 2009-10, the districtlaunched a pilot program forteaching common units acrossthe district at each grade level— third grade students, for ex-ample, experienced the sameunit at Hobomock, Bryantvilleand North Pembroke elemen-

tary schools.With this school year be-

ig the rst fll year for thecommon units, it may take thestaff time to determine the im-pact of that curriculum work,Hackett said.

“When I look at the three-year trend, we appear to berelatively at i some places,and that’s concerning. That’sthe biggest question for theadministration,” Hackett said.“As we move forward, thechallenge for us as a schoolsystem is how do we move

away from those at scores.”On the 2010 MCAS tests,Pembroke’s biggest year-to-year gains occurred in fourthgrade math as well as: seventhgrade English language arts,p from 70 percet procietor higher in 2009 to 80 percentin 2010; seventh grade math,from 56 percent to 64 percent;and eighth grade science, from41 percent to 50 percent.

Areas where the percentof stdets prociet or above

dropped for to ve poits

from 2009 to 2010 includedthird grade readig, fth grademath and science, eighth gradeEnglish language arts and 10thgrade English language arts.

A district’s MCASachievement also is measuredaccording to the federal NoChild Left Behind Act, whichstrives to have all studentsat advaced or prociet by2014.

Progress toward that fed-

eral goal is measured on the

MCAS by adequate yearlyprogress, or AYP. MCAS re-ports divide students into cer-tain subgroups, such as spe-cial education or by ethnicity,to reect AYP.

In Pembroke, 2010 MCASresults show the district is “ontarget” with AYP, though sev-eral groups did not meet AYPin certain subjects (see boxbelow).

Hackett said he supports

the overall goal of the federal

program.“I think No Child Left

Behind and the whole AYPcomponent of No Child LeftBehind has been a very goodthing for education in gen-eral and for us in Pembroke.It provides a level of account-ability that we should have inthis business,” he said.

But Hackett also said meet-

ing those targets can be a chal-lenge as districts are expectedto get each subgroup closerand closer to 100 percent as2014 nears.

As schools are being heldagainst very strict standards,it’s also a challenge to balanceMCAS preparation with otherschool curriculum, as well aseld trips, assemblies ad cl-tural activities, Hackett said.

“Schools have limited in-struction time, on top of budgetissues, but when you’re beingheld against this type of stan-dard, [MCAS prep] does haveto be a part of what we do,” hesaid. “Going deeper into a cer-tain subject area is not neces-sarily something we have theluxury of doing anymore.”

Hackett said he feels theschool has a responsibility to

make sure kids are preparedfor the test while staying trueto Pembroke’s educationalgoals.

“The test is asking forthigs i a very specic way,”he said. “There’s a kind of testing language that we needto explicitly teach kids. It’simportant kids understand thatthis is a situation where youreally have to read the ques-tion well and think about whatit’s asking you to do.”

Hackett said his staff islooking at where they may

incorporate more MCAS-liketests throughout the schoolyear, tied into the regular cur-riculum.

“One thing we’ve beenexploring the last few weeksis how do we get data in thehands of teachers faster to re-spond more quickly to how ourstudents are doing on MCASkind of questions,” he said.

2010 MCAS: Holding steady, with one big leap

NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND STATUS

The federal government uses the MCAS results as a measuring stick for No

Child Left Behind status, referred to as adequate yearly progress or AYP.Students are categorized into subgroups for the purposes of reporting.

Pembroke 2009: The special education subgroup or grades 3-5 didnot make AyP in English language arts or math. The special educa-tion subgroup or grades 6-8 did not make AyP in English languagearts. The low income subgroups or grades 3-5 and 6-8 did notmake AyP in math.

Pembroke 2010: The white and low income subgroups or grades3-5 did not make AyP in English language arts. The special educa-tion subgroup or grades 3-5 did not make AyP in English languagearts or math. The low income subgroup or grades 6-8 did not makeAyP in English language arts. The special education subgroup orgrades 6-8 did not make AyP in math.

Tis ’s stiIn the weeks leading up to the state election, the Express

will be asking questions of the two candidates running forSixth Plymoth District state represetative. This

week’s question is: There are three statewidequestions on the ballot for November’s elec-

tion. Question 1 would eliminate the state salestax on alcohol. Question 2 would repeal the

affordable housing law known as 40B, or the“anti-snob zoning act.” Question 3 would reduce

the state sales and use tax rates (which were 6.25 percent as of September 2009) to 3 percent as of Jan. 1, 2011. Please tell us

your position on each of these questions, and elaborate on why you support or do not support them.

Questions with the candidates: State rep.Q

uestion 1: We can’t afford any newtaxes right now. The message I’veheard knocking on doors is clear: gov-

ernment needs to live withinits means, just as we all doin our homes and small busi-nesses. If alcohol were not al-ready taxed, I would support

removing the tax-exemption,as I don’t believe that alco-hol deserves the same statusas necessities of life such asfood, clothing or prescription

medicine. However, that is not the case; alcohol isalready taxed and highly regulated.

We don’t need to give residents more reasonsto spend their money out of state. As a small-busi-ness advocate, I am also sympathetic to the plightof package stores, most of which are mom-and-pop operations. For those reasons I favor repealof this new tax.

I do believe that alcohol and substance abusetreatmet is greatly eeded ad I will ght to dfunds in the state budget to pay for these pro-grams using existing tax dollars. After all, we

need a government that is both compassionateand cost-effective.Question 2: Chapter 40B is a well-inten-

tioed bt deeply awed law that takes too mchdecision-making power away from our cities andtowns and instead puts it in the hands of real es-tate developers and state bureaucrats.

There are too may aws i the law to addressthem all in just 250 words, but perhaps the biggestis the cost-certicatio process. I a adit lastyear, state Inspector General Greg Sullivan foundthat shoddy oversight has allowed unscrupulousdevelopers to se 40B to iate prots ad bilkcities and towns out of millions of dollars.

Our current representative has had eight years

to try to reform this law but has failed. It’s time tochange our approach. I currently serve as a plan-ig board member ad I have rst-had experi-ence with how we can work to solve our housingneeds. These include innovative ideas such as in-clusionary zoning or “recycled” home programs.We must do more to provide affordable housingoptions, especially for our seniors.

I will vote in favor of Question 2 and thenwork with likemided Democrat ad Repbli-can legislators to draft a common-sense piece of legislation that will help us create much-neededhousing in a way that is in harmony with our ex-isting neighborhoods.

Question 3: I will vote against Question 3. Isupport the reduction of our sales tax to the levelit was at last year: 5.0 percent. I did not agreewith the decision by the legislature to increase thesales tax to 6.25 percent, especially in the midstof a deep recession with many folks out of workand many small businesses struggling. In myview, taxing consumption, which is what the salestax essentially is, discourages consumer spendingand just contributes to the downward cycle of theeconomy.

I am mindful that local aid and important hu-man services for our seniors, veterans and dis-abled citizens depend on this revenue and for thatreason I would instead look for cost-savings inother areas of the bdget. Specically, I woldscrutinize the tax expenditure budget, which allo-cates millions of dollars in corporate tax breaks tofavored special interests with little to no account-ability. New taxes are not the answer, and I willwork with the majority party to prevent that fromreoccurring, instead of ineffectually complainingfrom the sidelines as my opponent has done foreight years.

Mr. Cutler is the Democratic nominee for theSixth Plymouth District.

Question 1: I strongly support the re-peal of the alcohol tax, which theDemocratically-cotrolled state leg-

islature implemented whileit hiked taxes eight times inthe past two years. First, thistax amounts to a double taxon alcohol sold in the Com-monwealth as consumersalready pay an excise tax onalcohol products. Second, theadditional tax on alcohol hascrippled small business own-

ers who operate restaurants, package stores andconvenience stores bordering New Hampshire,Rhode Island and Vermont. Recent statistics haveproven that small businesses located in commu-nities along the Massachusetts border have lost

alcohol sales to neighboring states because Mas-sachusetts residents are crossing state borders andbuying alcohol where it is less expensive. Third,implementing any taxes in this economic down-turn, during which Massachusetts has lost over300,000 jobs, stunts job growth. Jobs will comeback to Massachusetts when businesses are ableto grow because consumers are spending. Themajority party on Beacon Hill has taken the worstcourse by implementing a tax that will discourageconsumers from participating in the economy.

Question 2: I support the initiative petitionto repeal Chapter 40B. At its inception, Chapter40B was designed to create affordable housingopportities i rba areas. Drig the past de-cade, developers have used this law to build onmarginal land in suburban areas by legally skirt-

ing local zoning bylaws. The result has been theconstruction of homes that in many instances arenot in keeping with the character of the suburbancommunities in which they have been built. Fur-thermore, a number of the communities I representhave affordable housing alternatives such as mo-bile homes, in-law apartments or homes appraisedwell below market value. Chapter 40B prohibitsthese properties from being included in a commu-nity’s overall affordable housing quota.

Six years ago, I supported legislation, whichpassed the House, that would have enabled thecommunities I represent to include such homes intheir affordable housing totals. Unfortunately, thisinitiative was not adopted by the state Senate.

This referendum will repeal an outdated law,providing the opportunity for the legislature totruly address the state’s affordable housing issueby reforming Chapter 40A, the state’s zoning stat-ute, where we can encourage development of lessexpensive homes while preserving the character of our respective communities.

Question 3: I support rolling back the sales taxfrom 6.25 percent to 3 percent. Passage of Ques-tion 3 will send a clear message to the tax-and-sped Democratic lawmakers o Beaco Hill thatenough is enough. Taxpayers are tired of havingtheir hard-earned money used as disposable in-

come to offset bloated state budgets and fund pro-grams that our state cannot afford. As householdbudgets have tightened, families have adjusted.Voters know they cannot spend more than theyearn, and Beacon Hill must learn this as well.

Drig the ve bdget cycles precedig scal2010, state spending increased by $1 billion eachscal year. Capital gais tax receipts declied adsurpluses were not diverted to the rainy day fund.As it became evident that the growth of the statebdget was sstaiable, I wared DemocraticHouse members that these signals indicated a se-vere economic downturn.

The only way to bring legislative spendingder cotrol is to limit the resorces Democraticlawmakers have to spend. We can erase the short-fall caused by the prospective revenue loss by

eliminating the 5,000 state jobs added during thePatrick Administration, enacting real pension re-form by shiftig from deed beet plas to de-ed cotribtio plas ad reformig MassHealthby moving subscribers from a pay-as-you-go pro-gram to managed care, which is more preventativei atre. Aother Democrat o Beaco Hill willonly further impede such cost-saving reforms.

Mr. Webster is the Republican nominee and incumbent for the Sixth Plymouth District.

Ballot initiative summariesQuestion 1: This proposed law would remove the Massachu-

setts sales tax on alcoholic beverages and alcohol, where the saleo such beverages and a lcohol or their importation into the state isalread subject to a separate excise tax under state law. The pro-

posed law would take eect on Jan. 1, 2011.Question 2: This proposed law would repeal an existing state

law that allows a qualifed organization wishing to build govern-ment-subsidized housing that includes low- or moderate-incomeunits to appl or a single comprehensive permit rom a cit ortown’s zoning board o appeals, instead o separate permits romeach local agenc or ofcial having jurisdiction over an aspect othe proposed housing. The repeal would take eect on Jan. 1, 2011,but would not stop or otherwise aect an proposed housing thathad alread received a comprehensive permit and building permitor at least one unit.

Under the existing law, the ZBA holds a public hearing on theapplication and considers the recommendations o local agenciesand ofcials. The ZBA ma grant a comprehensive permit that mainclude conditions or requirements concerning the height, site plan,size, shape or building materials o the housing. Persons aggrievedb the ZBA’s decision to grant a permit ma appeal it to a court. I the

ZBA denies the permit or grants it with conditions or requirementsthat make the housing uneconomic to build or to operate, the appli-cant ma appeal to the state Housing Appeals Committee (HAC).

Ater a hearing, i the HAC rules that the ZBA’s denial o a com-prehensive permit was unreasonable and not consistent with localneeds, the HAC orders the ZBA to issue the permit. I the HAC rulesthat the ZBA’s decision issuing a comprehensive permit with condi-tions or requirements made the housing uneconomic to build oroperate and was not consistent with local needs, the HAC ordersthe ZBA to modi or remove an such condition or requirement soas to make the proposal no longer uneconomic. The HAC cannotorder the ZBA to issue an permit that would allow the housing toall below minimum saet standards or site plan requirements. Ithe HAC rules that the ZBA’s action was consistent with local needs,the HAC must uphold it even i it made the housing uneconomic.The HAC’s decision is subject to review in the courts.

A condition or requirement makes housing “uneconomic” i itwould prevent a public agenc or nonproft organization rom build-

ing or operating the housing except at a fnancial loss, or it wouldprevent a limited dividend organization rom building or operatingthe housing without a reasonable return on its investment.

A ZBA’s decision is “consistent with local needs” i it appliesrequirements that are reasonable in view o the regional need orlow- and moderate-income housing and the number o low-incomepersons in the cit or town, as well as the need to protect health andsaet, promote better site and building design, and preserve openspace, i those requirements are applied as equall as possible toboth subsidized and unsubsidized housing. Requirements are con-sidered “consistent with local needs” i more than 10 percent othe cit or town’s housing units are low- or moderate-income unitsor i such units are on sites making up at least 1.5 percent o thetotal private land zoned or residential, commercial or industrial usein the cit or town. Requirements are also considered “consistentwith local needs” i the application would result, in an one calendarear, in beginning construction o low- or moderate-income hous-ing on sites making up more than 0.3 percent o the total private

land zoned or residential, commercial, or industrial use in the citor town, or on 10 acres, whichever is larger.

Question 3: This proposed law would reduce the state salesand use tax rates (which were 6.25 percent as o September 2009)to 3 percent as o Jan. 1, 2011. It would make the same reductionin the rate used to determine the amount to be deposited with thestate Commissioner o Revenue b non-resident building contrac-tors as securit or the pament o sales and use tax on tangiblepersonal propert used in carring out their contracts.

The proposed law provides that i the 3 percent rates wouldnot produce enough revenues to satis an lawul pledge o salesand use tax revenues in connection with an bond, note, or othercontractual obligation, then the rates would instead be reduced tothe lowest level allowed b law.

A brighter Tree Lighting“When I heard the size and

the scope and the plans she hadarranged, I being an electricianknew just how expensive anundertaking this was going to

be,” Cullity said.A former member of the

Chamber and former chair-woman of the event, Cullitysaid she appreciates what thetree lighting brings to Pem-broke during the holidays.

“Hats off to this Cham-ber and their huge plans,” shesaid. “I think in these tryingeconomic times a large cel-ebration of Christmas — espe-cially if it can be free for thefamilies — is just going to beenormous for a lot of people.It’s a great sense of communi-ty and a real way to celebrateChristmas and being together.I just think the town deservesit. I think people deserve it.That’s why I was moved to dowhat I’m doing.”

Scheduled for Sunday,Dec. 5 from 2:30-5 p.m., theTree Lighting again will fea-ture hot chocolate and marsh-mallow roasting — with twiceas may re pits — alog withornament decorating, hay rides,performances by the PembrokeHigh School band and chorus,a new York Life child ID pro-gram, rabbit-petting area, a

yellow ribbon tree for veteransand a visit from Santa Claus.

New this year will be amoon bounce, bone marrowregistratio, oprot gropsselling Christmas trees, aChristmas tree rafe, ca-dlelight sing-a-long and, of course, lots and lots of lights.Keegan also would like to seereal reindeer and possibly alive nativity either this year orat a future event.

“I would love reindeer,”Keegan said after the meeting.“Each year I want to keep in-creasing it. When I took it overthree years ago, that’s whenwe did the re pits, the ora-ment decorating, the petting of the rabbits. Every year I wantto do more and more.”

Previously, the commit-tee asked for donations for re-

freshments and activities, butKeegan said many people feltobligated to pay the money.

“I guess people felt likethey were being nickel-and-dimed, like here’s some mon-ey for the marshmallow roast-ing, here’s some more moneyfor the ornament decorating,for the hay ride, for the hotchocolate, for the hot dogs …And this year I’d love to makeit where maybe we just haveone jar and if people want todonate, that’s great, but I don’twant people to feel like theyhave to donate,” she said.

To make the event trulyfree — and light approximate-ly 14 trees around the green

— the Tree Lighting Com-mittee is seeking donations of electrical materials, equipmentad labor, boxes of LED lightsand money.

The lights — white LEDonly, as requested by the townwiring inspector — can bedropped off at the Board of Health ofce, the recycligcenter and eventually otherspots around town.

“If everyone bought onebox, we could light the wholeTown Green and then some,”Cullity said.

Businesses can sponsor atree: $500 for a maple, $300for a cedar and $100 for abirch.

Many years ago,

then PembrokeTown Treasurer

Cyril O. Littleeld, while rm-maging through the “dungeon”(basement) of the Town Hall,came across the town treasur-er’s books for the years 1798to the present.

He noted that althoughsome of the books for certainyears were missing, he wasable to piece together an in-teresting picture of the every-day life of Pembroke residentsbased on the pages of receiptsand expenses.

Mr. Littleeld oted atthe time that by far the larg-est number of entries had todo with services performed atthe Alms House (poor farm)and at each of the schools (atone time, Pembroke had eightschool districts, each with itsown one-room school build-ing).

It seems that as far back asPembroke’s records go, publiceducation and public assis-tance did not come cheaply.The Alms House was in con-stant need of repair and, of course, the residents always

needed to be fed and clothed.With respect to public edu-

cation, it is interesting to notethe differences and similaritiesbetween yesterday and today.The earliest records indicatethat various families in each

school district were paid togive room and board to theschoolmasters. In addition, of course, there was the matter of the schoolmaster’s salary. In1800, if you took on the taskof providing a place to live forthe teacher, you would be paid$4. In May of that year, ElishaJames was paid $20 for keep-ing school.

Various individuals werepaid for providing and chop-ping wood for the wood stoves

in the various schoolhouses.Some were paid for generalrepairs to the eight schoolbuildings, while others werepaid for providing supplies forthe schools. I 1885, DavidHowland was paid for mak-ing and hanging curtains andmaking a shelf for the clocki School District 6. HarrisRamsdell was paid to reslateall of the blackboards. DeliaStudley earned money sweep-ig the schoolhose i District5, while Joseph Bourne sawed,split and housed wood for the

same school. You could be paididividally for bildig a rein a schoolhouse, sweeping aschool building, providing aschool with a broom, paintinginside and/or outside of anyor all of the school buildings,

cleaning up the school yard —the lists go on and on.

In 1891, teacher Lydia

Drake was paid $7.50 per weekto teach while Carrie Ford re-ceived only $6.50 per week,presumably for the same du-ties.

It would seem that so manydifferent people providing somany different services to somany different schoolhousescold prove to be a scal ight-mare for the town treasurer.This, however, does not seemto be the case. Each request forpayment seems to have beenhandled to the satisfaction of all parties concerned, and wetrust that the quality of edu-cation provided to these earlygenerations was as excellentas that which we have come toexpect today from our schools.Indeed, those early children of Pembroke grew to be the re-sponsible citizens who havemade the quality of life inPembroke one of the main fac-tors that has kept so many of our residents in town and hasdrawn so many new familiesto Pembroke.

to make an impact against thetop teams in the state come No-vember.

“It was an awesome raceall the way around,” Zopattisaid. “This was our rst real-ly big challenge, and we tookthe gloves off. Our girls reallyfought, and that was what wewanted to see. This is reallygoing to make the girls believethat, in November, they can getit done. Now we've just got totake baby steps and be careful[not to get injured].”

Senior captain Heather

Connick led the race virtuallythe entire ve kilometers totake rst place in 19 minutesand 42 seconds. For the Titansto have a chance at winning,Zopatti said number two run-ner Chelsea Savage needed tosplit up the Panthers’ superstartandem of Rachel and AbbyBaker. Both Bakers came outof the woods ahead of Savageas the three runners headed forthe nal 400 meters, but theTitan junior put on a burst of speed when she reached thetrack to outrun both Panthersand take second place.

“She really put in the workand proved she is good enough[to run with the best],” Zopattisaid. “She really focused upover the last mile. The fartheraway, the closer Chelsea wasable to get [to the Bakers]. Shelooked great.”

The Titans held on to theirlead when Mary Scanlan wona duel between senior captainsby coming in ahead of KaleyMientkiewicz with a personal

best time of 20:35 in her rst

varsity meet of the season.“She hated every minute of

it, but she did her job,” Zopattisaid of Scanlan. “She stayedcalm and looked excellent.”

Casey Egan and JennyDiMascio closed the gap forWhitman-Hanson by nishingahead of Gabby Molignano.Cacciatore then saved the meetby outrunning Leary and Si-mon down the stretch.

The Panthers’ depth wonthem the meet, but Zopattisaid the pack of Molignano,Leary and Simon, as well asseventh runner Caroline Mc-Cormack, ran their best racesof the season and should buildcondence from their perfor-mances.

“We knew what our topthree could do, but it was goingto come down to our four, veand six, and Gabby, Jess, Joyceand Caroline did an awesome

job,” he said. “The race wentout a little quick, and our fourve and six fell behind theirs,and Gabby really took the agand led our girls back into therace. Jess and Joyce left it allout there.”

The Titans are going torun their full complement atthe Bay State Invitational inWrentham this weekend beforeheading back to league actionagainst Hingham, after whichZopatti wants his team to relaxmore to stay fresh for EasternMass. and All States.

“This is our rst test, state-wise,” Zopatti said of BayStates. “Then hopefully wecan rest a little bit.”

The offense has gotten bet-ter every game for the Pem-broke football team, while thedefense continues to come upwith big plays.

As a result, they are head-ing into the Patriot Leaguewith a head of steam follow-ing a 33-20 win over the Nor-well Clippers in the team’srst game at the high schoolthis season last Friday.

The Titans trailed 14-6

heading into halftime follow-ing a ve-yard touchdown runby Norwell’s Brian Devilly,but the Titans responded with27 second-half points whileholding the Clippers to six —turning a close game into arout.

“One of the things we’vetalked about and wanted to

improve was playing a fullgame,” Bancroft said. “We’vehad good quarters and good

drives in the rst two games,but we really played a goodsecond half today.”

Defensive lineman DanMcCourt again was a keycog in the defensive stand inthe second half. The juniorbrought the Titans within twopoints when he recovered afumble for a touchdown for therst score of the third quarter,and he wreaked havoc on Nor-well’s quarterback, leading tothree Pembroke interceptions.

“He plays hard all thetime,” Bancroft said of Mc-Court. “He had a lot to do withthose three interceptions.”

While the defense domi-nated the line of scrimmage forthe Titans in the second half,the linebackers were criticalin the rst two quarters whenNorwell was nding gaps fortheir running backs.

“Andrew Avitabile had hisbest game by far,” Bancroft

said. “We weren’t doing wellmaking a lot of tackles [at theline], and he and the other line-backers did a nice job pickingup the slack.”

Quarterback Luke Naglealso had a breakout gameagainst the Clippers. Nagleconnected with captain LukeLeavitt for a big third-downconversion pass and hit theother captain Matt Allen for

31- and 33-yard touchdownpasses.

“Luke has been throw-ing the ball well, but this wasa step up for him,” Bancroftsaid. “He threw a nice ball toLuke on a big third down playfor us, and his passes to Mattwere good.”

While Nagle threw his rsttouchdown passes of the sea-son, Pat Walsh ran the ball into

the end zone for the secondstraight game with a 1-yardscamper in the third quarter.Ryan Chapman added anotherrushing touchdown from 12yards.

The Titans have their rstcrossover game of the seasonthis week when they play theNorth Quincy Red Raiders intheir rst game under the lightsat Pembroke High School.

Nothing to showGirls soccer team can’t hold leads

If the Whitman-Hanson

Panthers thought they didn’t

have to show up in Pembroke

on Friday ready to play or they

didn’t have to take the Titans

seriously, they were very much

mistaken.

And Pembroke girls soc-

cer team was 40 minutes away

from sending the number one

team in the state home from the

Hobomock School felds with

their tails between their legs.

However, the Titans let

their guard down for a minute

at the start of the second half,

which was just enough time for

the sleeping giants to wake upSamantha Mewis scored

the game-winner with 50 sec-

onds left in the game to cap the

three-goal comeback for the

Panthers, who rallied to beat

Pembroke 3-2.“That was a heartbreaker,”

head coach Kara Connerty said.

“They are obviously a very tal-

ented team, but we were the

rst ones to score against themin the run of play. In the sec-

ond half, we just started react-

ing to them instead of playing

our game, and they got back

into it.”

Senior Becky Stoyle scored

the rst three minutes of the

rst half to give the Titans a1-0 lead before the Panthersknew what hit them.

The Panthers remained

out of sync for most of the

half while Pembroke’s de-

fense and keeper Alex Davis

came up with some big plays

to deny the Panthers’ scoring

bids. Sarah James shut down

All-Star Whitman-Hanson

forward MacKenzie Hateld,while senior captain Michelle

Coate did such a good job

one-on-one against Mewis that

Whitman-Hanson coach Dave

Floeck sent the U.S. national

player to the bench midway

through the half.

“We played terric de-

fense,” Connerty said. “Mi-

chelle did a terric job stayingwith [Mewis], Sarah did a great

job marking Hateld and AlexDavis was great in net.”

As the half wound down,

the Panthers found themselves

in a bigger hole after defender

Meghan Ford’s shot sailed into

the top of the goal to give the

Titans a 2-0 lead heading intohalftime.

But as soon as the whistle

blew for the second half, it was

clear Whitman-Hanson had

come out with a much different

mind set, and Katie Clergy’s

goal 34 seconds seemed to put

Pembroke back on their heels.The Panthers began to take

the game to the Titans, but

they still couldn’t nish untilMewis tied the game inside of

six minutes and then added the

winning goal in the nal min-

ute.

The Titans suffered a simi-

lar fate in a 3-2 loss againstSilver Lake on Tuesday. Rene

Troudeau gave the Titans the

lead two minutes into the game,

but again the Titans couldn’t

hold off their opponent and

Silver Lake scored two goalsin 10 minutes to take the lead.

Ford scored her second

goal of the season to even

things up again, but the Lak-

ers took the lead back before

halftime. Despite controlling

the play for most of the second

half, the Titans could not ndthe net to get the equalizer.

“It was absolutely frustrat-

ing,” Connerty said. “We re-

ally dominated the second half

but couldn’t nish. Finishing

is denitely a concern right

now.”The Titans will try to right

the ship and make up some

ground on the Fisher Division

leading Scituate Sailors on Fri-

day, in a game in which Con-

nerty said her team needs to

show up ready to play strong

for two halves.

“They are going to be a

very tough opponent,” she

said. “We're still working on

trying to play 80 minutes of good soccer.”

Down to the wireGirls XC loses in tiebreaker


Normally, a team’s sixth

runner to cross the nish lineis a nonfactor in scoring across-country meet, but Tues-day at Whitman-Hanson HighSchool, it made all the differ-ence in the world.

Panther Gianna Cacciato-re fell behind Pembroke’s JessLeary as the pair ran onto thetrack for the nal 200-metersof the 5K race, but she over-took Leary down the stretch

Joyce Simon, breaking a 28-28 tie and giving the Panthersa dramatic win over the Ti-tans.

Cacciatore’s kick pastLeary prevented Pembrokefrom unseating the defend-ing league champions by onepoint and forced the outcomeof the meet to be decided bythe tiebreaker between herand Simon.

Despite the loss, Pembrokehead coach Greg Zopatti said

l d th h t f hi

Victory outof reachVolleyball dips below .500


Head coach Dave Rixcalled his team’s performance

in their 3-1 loss to Hanover onSept. 20 a “volleyball coma”after nearly a week off be-tween games. One week later,the team is still trying to getback to form after two morelosses dropped them to 3-4 onthe season.

The Titans turned in a

valiant shorthanded effort onThursday but fell 3-1 to theSilver Lake Lakers at the highschool before the defendingleague champion North Quin-cy Red Raiders shut them out3-0 on Monday.

The biggest problem overthis tough stretch for the Ti-tans, Rix said, is their slowstarts to each set. Pembrokehas continually fallen behindearly and then battled back,but it is a case of too little, toolate.

“I think as a team we’ve

got to do a better job at thestart of games,” he said. “Wedo a great job picking up theslack once we fall behind and

continuing to ght, but weneed to do a better job gettingstarted.”

Pembroke started off at

a disadvantage against theLakers on Thursday with out-side hitter and senior captainMeagan Hall absent from thelineup in the rst two sets. Rixused the whole roster in tryingto nd some chemistry on thecourt, but the Titans couldn’tmount a sustained attack anddropped the rst two sets.

“It was a little confusingbecause we hadn’t had an op-portunity to practice [what wewould do without Meagan]because we didn’t know untiltoday that she wasn’t going tobe here,” Rix said. “The girls

stepped up and did a decent job playing out of position,but there was confusion and Ithink the chemistry was off.”

Hall arrived for the start of the third set, which the Titansrallied to tie at 19 from vepoints down. Silver Lake ral-lied to set up match point 24-23, but the Titans refused to goaway quietly. Pembroke tiedthe game at 24, 25, 26 and 27before nally taking the leadand holding off the Lakers fora 31-29 win.

The Titans, however, could

not sustain their momentum inthe fourth set after Silver Lake
