pembroke express 10_22_2010

The fall special Town Meeting was carried over to a second night for the first time in several years after the quorum was questioned and

found lacking near midnight Tuesday.

A r o u n d 11:30 p.m., as voters be-

gan discussing items up for funding under the Community Preservation Act, resident Bill Cullity formally questioned the quorum, sparking a manda-tory head count of the remain-ing voters. When the numbers were submitted, Town Mod-erator Steve Dodge declared that, with just 110 people, the meeting did not have a quo-rum to continue. By town by-law, Town Meeting business requires the presence of 150

registered voters.The meeting was recessed

and scheduled to continue Thursday evening at the high school. (Look for results at pembrokexpress.com.)

Along with the six proj-ects up for CPA funding (Ar-ticle 16), the warrant included just two other articles yet to be discussed — Article 5, which would transfer money into an account for separation pay benefits (officials are recom-mending no money be trans-ferred at this time) and Ar-ticle 9, which would allocate $36,000 for energy audits of town buildings.

Cullity said he had been keeping an eye on the num-bers all night and made the de-cision to question the quorum after the latest group of voters headed home. He said he sup-

Pembroke High School thespians are exploring their serious side with this year’s fall play, a theatrical version of “The Diary of Anne Frank.” But the teens, who are just a few years older than Frank was when she entered the se-cret annex, said they are up to the challenge.

“It’s definitely a test of your acting skills,” said PHS junior Brittany Pennellatore, who plays Mrs. Van Daan. “There are so few props. It’s literally you, and that’s it.”

The story closely follows Frank’s diary, with an added

character, an “Anne of Today” who narrates parts of the di-ary as if she had survived the

Holocaust. The diary tells the story of the Frank family and four others who hid together in the annex for two years dur-ing the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands, until their arrest in August 1944.

To prepare for their roles, the Pembroke actors met with Harry Katz of the Interfaith Council, who has talked with many Holocaust survivors and shared some of their experi-ences with the students.

“The kids had taken their scripts home and they were able to come up with questions like how would people have behaved, how would they have reacted. He helped a great deal and gave us a lot of insight into the actual experience of

A move from Ft. Lucie, Fla. with a daughter and

her family in June 2008 was Florida’s loss and Pembroke’s gain. Janice Bourbeau is a vivacious, multi-talented grandmother who is has been a semi-professional country singer, songwriter, poet, nurse, teacher and artist and who al-ways seeks new challenges.

“My mother wanted me to be a girly girl,” Bourbeau said. “I’m the only girl in a family of four brothers. I tried, but sometimes when my brothers teased me I would get mad and lash out, even though I was at heart a girly girl.”

Bourbeau grew up in a musical family — her mother played guitar and sang coun-try music, performing on the radio in her hometown in Ver-mont, while Bourbeau’s father played accordion.

“She could even yodel,” Bourbeau said of her mother. “She didn’t realize that I could sing until she heard me sing-ing along with the records of that day when I was 12 years old. She encouraged me [to continue singing].”

Before she got married, Bourbeau sang on stages around the country, perform-ing at wedding and anniver-sary parties and other events.

“Singing is my passion, especially Gospel music, and I sing in my church,” she said. “I entered a singing contest on a dare when I was 19 and won first prize.”

Bourbeau eventually at-tended college and became a certified nursing assistant.

“I loved taking care of the elderly. I saved a man’s life when he suffered a massive

head injury from a fall. I was young but I knew what to do. It made me feel good to be able to do that,” she said. “I finally went to college, gradu-ated and went into teaching. I taught all grades, and at one time in a Montessori school. I loved that.”

Bourbeau is a native of Greenfield, Mass., “a good place to grow up,” as she re-calls, though “like everything else, it has changed.” Even-tually, Bourbeau moved to Florida and then relocated to Pembroke about a year and a half ago with one of her two daughters. She also has sev-eral grandchildren.

These days, Bourbeau keeps busy with a variety of hobbies.

“Art is one of my other passions,” she said. “I’ve never had formal training except in

high school. I used to go fish-ing with one of my brothers. I didn’t like to fish, just liked being with my brother. I had a pad of paper and a pencil with me. I think I planned on writ-ing letters. Then I noticed how beautiful the surrounding hills looked beyond the lake and I started to draw them. When we got home, I took out my colored pencils and filled the drawing in. After that, I was seldom without a pad of paper and pencil.”

She most enjoys drawing lighthouses and scenery, es-pecially trees, and plans to en-ter her artwork at next year’s Pembroke Art Festival.

Bourbeau also is a writer, dabbling in children’s stories and poems, several of which were published in her home-town newspaper when she in high school.

CUTLER = CHANGE FOR THE BETTER!

Ready for a change, Pembroke?

It’s clear we need to make some changes on Beacon Hill. Unfortunately my opponent has been in office so long he’s become part

of the problem. I’ve spent the past ten years as a newspaper editor, looking out for the public interest and keeping an eye on our government.

With your support I’ll bring that same spirit of reform and independence to the State House. We

need to get the focus back on helping the middle class and not the special interests. On November 2, let’s change Beacon Hill for the better!

Meet Josh Cutler. Your full-time, accessible and independent choice for state representative

My agenda☛ Prioritize local aid & school funding.

☛ Work to contain spiraling health care costs.

☛ Advocate for our small businesses and local artisans, farmers and merchants.

☛ Promote alternative energy and push incentives for green technologies and green job creation.

☛ Fight for better resources to clean-up and manage our many Pembroke ponds.

☛ Provide a full-time voice at the State House, expanded office hours and real constituent service.

☛ Work to abolish practice of lawmakers getting taxpayer-funded “per-diems” just for driving to work.

Relay recognized for growthThe Relay For Life

of Marshfield, Dux-bury, Hanover, Nor-

well and Pembroke was rec-ognized in September for its achievements at the New Eng-land Relay For Life Leadership Summit. This five-town relay, which was held at Marshfield High School, was awarded a prize as the fastest growing re-lay between five and 10 years old in all of New England.

To build toward even greater success in 2011, a fresh leadership team has been constructed, consisting of six engaged and dedicated lead-ers who have already started working with relayers to plan the 2011 event. This “Six-Pack” has already incorpo-rated many of the suggestions that 2010 participants offered during a late June debriefing.

2010 co-chairwomen Deb-bie Cornwall of Marshfield and Liz Spurr of Pembroke are returning. The leadership team also includes Lisa McCarthy of Marshfield, Bob and Karen Bere of Pembroke and Jea-nette Gunther of Marshfield. They are seeking volunteers to help recruit more survivors and personal caregivers and to support team and individual fundraising efforts. Also, a new Facebook site has just been launched, and the event’s Web

site will be updated soon. To wrap up 2010’s suc-

cessful relay season and intro-duce 2011 themes, a free Re-lay Harvest Rally will be held on Thursday, Nov. 4, from 7-8:30 p.m. at Oliveira’s Res-taurant, 300 Center St. (Route 36), Pembroke. This event will feature a drawing among teams for 2011 campsite se-lection sequence (for the June 24-25, 2011 event), awards for all leading individual and team fundraisers, special gifts for all team captains from sponsors, a DJ and refreshments. A high-light of the evening will be the drawing for a door prize con-sisting of a fresh turkey, fresh-ly baked pie and a gift card for Thanksgiving side-dish fix-

ings. All 2010 team captains and relayers are urged to at-tend, and former team captains and relayers and all others in the community who have in-terest in the relay are invited to join the fun. RSVP by calling 617-901-3483 or by e-mailing [email protected].

Funds raised at Relay For Life go to help people stay well, get well, find cures and fight back against cancer. This means funding of cancer infor-mation, patient services (like early detection, clinical trials matching service, free wigs or transportation to treatments), and research. To get help at any time, call 800-ACS-2345 or visit cancer.org.

Man held after pulling gun outside sub shop

A Pembroke man was being held without bail early this week after he was arrested for pulling a gun out during a dispute outside a Pembroke sub shop.

Robert W. Danna, 52, of Maquan Street, was scheduled to appear in Plymouth District Court for a dangerousness hearing Tuesday, according to Pembroke Police Lt. Mike Jen-ness. Danna has been charged with disorderly conduct, assault with a dangerous weapon and assault and battery.

The incident occurred around 7 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 14 at Dimitri’s Pizza on Mat-takeesett Street. According to police reports, a female friend of Danna called him after she had an issue when she went to purchase some subs. When Danna arrived, he got into an ar-gument with others at the shop. The confron-tation continued outside, where it got physi-

cal. One man told police Danna had pushed him, while Danna insisted he was the one who had been pushed, Jenness said.

At that point, Danna allegedly pulled out a gun, keeping it at his side pointed to the ground, and told another person “not to do that again,” according to reports. Police ar-rived shortly afterward and questioned the people involved.

No one was injured; however; one woman was transported to Jordan Hospital after faint-ing because of a pre-existing condition.

The Great North Ameri-can Pumpkin Launch is about to begin, and archers, cata-pult and trebuchet experts are needed to storm the castle at the Marshfield Fairgrounds on Saturday, Nov. 6 from 10:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. The event will benefit local food pantries, two area Boy Scout troops and the Junior Olympic Archery Team from Reedy’s Archery in Mid-dleboro. Reedy’s Archery will host an archery tournament open to the public. There will be vegetable racing and small tabletop trebuchets and cata-pults for younger children as well as a host of other activi-ties for all ages.

All trebuchet and catapult teams must register by Nov. 1; e-mail [email protected] to sign up. No trebuchet or catapult can have a arm that extends further than 24 feet in-

cluding the base and wheels. The launches will be scored for accuracy and distance. All archery equipment will be pro-vided by Reedy’s Archery, so no outside bows or arrows are allowed.

Tickets for the event cost $8 per person or $6 with a do-nation for the food pantries. To purchase tickets or learn more, go online to 2010pumpkin-launch.eventbrite.com.

The Pembroke Board of Assessors is required to under-take, subsequent to the Bureau of Local Assessments’ pre-liminary certification review, a public disclosure. This dis-closure is intended to inform property owners of the current assessments for the certifica-

tion year (FY2011).This public disclosure will

be conducted at the Town Hall from Oct. 25-29. Questions regarding the assessed valua-tions should be directed to the assessors’ office in the Town Hall. The office will be open Monday through Friday, 8:30

a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and Monday evening from 7-9 p.m. The disclosure also will be avail-able at the Pembroke Public Library during normal operat-ing hours.

For information, call the assessors’ office at 781-293-2393.

CO2 safetyAll Pembroke resi-

dents are welcome to at-tend a carbon dioxide de-tector awareness program sponsored by the state fire marshal and Senate Presi-dent Therese Murray. The program will be held on Friday, Oct. 29 from 4-5 p.m. in the Veterans Hall at Town Hall, 100 Center St. Free carbon dioxide detec-tors will be available.




Trash was king at Tuesday night’s special Town Meeting, as voters debated the future of Pembroke’s solid waste pro-gram in what Town Moderator Steve Dodge called one of the “most robust” discussions in years.

Residents rejected articles submitted by citizen’s peti-

tion aimed at increas-ing recycling through pay-as-you-throw and plastics

compacting but agreed to es-tablish a volunteer Recycling Committee to consider other options. And, more than 20 years after the old landfill on Hobomock Street was closed, voters agreed to spend $2.8 million to seal it off.

Once approved by the Mass. Department of Environ-mental Protection, Pembroke’s “cap and closure” plan will al-low the town to cover the site with state-approved materials and use the land for limited recreational use, according to project engineer Mark White of Environmental Partners.

“This is it. We’ve been try-ing to cap this landfill since the 1980s, and you can do it tonight,” Selectman Dan Trabucco told voters. “I urge you: vote yes on this; let’s get this done.”

Money for the project will be borrowed through a low-interest state loan and paid back over 20 years. Trabucco said the annual debt service — along with curbside trash and recycling pickup — could be covered with the existing $270-per-household trash fee.

Currently, Pembroke offers trash pickup only; however, Trabucco said selectmen were looking into adding recycling pickup within the next year.

The capping could be completed by next November, he said.

Former selectman Don An-derson questioned borrowing the $2.8 million at this time, saying though the town was under a consent order from the DEP, it had not been fined over the previous 20 years and likely wouldn’t be fined in the near future.

“Why not wait?” Ander-son asked. “We’ve not had any sort of regulatory strong-arming from the state, and the state certainly seems to have its own problems fiscally.”

Anderson said he would rather see the per-household trash fee reduced.

But officials said waiting would cause the town to lose the low-interest loan, could in-crease the cost and would open up Pembroke to potentially hefty fines. Selectman Arthur Boyle estimated a fine would be in the “six figures.”

Earlier in the meeting, vot-ers talked recycling.

McCollum, who proposed three solid waste-related peti-tion articles, amended Article 23 to establish term-limits for the selectmen-appointed Re-cycling Committee. McCol-lum said the committee, which would be charged with over-sight of the recycling center, would help bring transparency and accountability.

He gave as example five separate cell phone bills for the recycling center with an average monthly bill of about $255. McCollum said when he questioned the bills and asked for other records, he was de-nied information.

Some residents questioned why the previous Solid Waste and Recycling Committee, which had been meeting for months to discuss trash and re-cycling issues, was disbanded in September.

Boyle said the board had received a final report from the committee that recommended building a transfer station, which the town could not pres-ently afford.

Up next, voters considered Article 25, to fund the purchase of two compactors for $60,000 and require the recycling cen-ter to accept all plastics.

McCollum argued that compacting plastics would al-low the town to pack seven to eight times as much in each container, saving money on shipping. Expanding what is accepted also would help re-duce trash tonnage.

But others were concerned about up front costs.

“This is probably a good thing to do, but not at this time,” resident Gerry Dempsey said. “I believe the prudent thing for Town Meeting to do is to wait and see what happens with re-gard to the sales tax [Question 3 on the Nov. 2 ballot] and see the impact on this community, and then it can be presented at the April meeting of next year. It’s not going to have a signifi-cant impact on this meeting at this time.”

Town Meeting voted to in-definitely postpone the article.

Voters rejected a third ar-ticle submitted by petition, Article 24, which would have directed selectmen to include pay-as-you-throw in any solid waste plan. Under this pro-gram, residents pay a set price per bag or barrel based on what they throw away.

“We would never tolerate paying a flat fee at the gro-cery store. We pay for what we use,” McCollum said. “That’s the same process for pay-as-you-throw for garbage.”

Boyle argued the system came with hidden costs, in-cluding transportation expens-es.

Voters also authorized the selectmen to negotiate a better

contract with Covanta Energy (formerly SEMASS) for solid waste disposal.

McCollum spoke against this article, saying he hoped the board would consider oth-er options that may be avail-able by the time the current Covanta contract ends in 2012 — including less expensive contracts with a Bourne facil-ity and a proposed waste-to-ethanol plant in Taunton.

Thorne said selectmen al-ready have the authority to enter into a contract for up to three years if other options arise.

There’s a fatal flaw in the retirement of many small business owners: After pouring a lifetime of sweat, time and capital into building the business, their rough-sketch strat-egy is to sell out someday for a ton of money… then settle back and enjoy a financially secure retirement. Many business owners are so sure this will happen that they don’t

bother to make any other retirement plans.

Who is this person who, at just the right moment, is going to show up with cash in hand to buy the company… and pay a fair price? For thousands of small business owners each year, no one steps forward. Perhaps the business is too specialized or is tied too closely to the owner’s unique personality and skills. Or per-haps possible buyers equate retirement sale with distress sale and make only low-ball offers. Whatever the reason, many owners find that their company has suddenly become a white elephant that nobody wants.

One Possible Solution: Groom your own replacement, someone who will buy your company when you’re ready to retire. Maybe this person is a current co-owner (but be careful if he or she is about the same age as you, who will be counting on retiring around the same time.) Or it could be a son or daughter active in the business, or a younger key employee.Business Owners Who Successfully Groom Their Own Replacements Leave Noth-ing to Chance: They realize that there is no room for error at the point of retirement. Here are some examples of steps they might take:

temperament, personality, competence and personal goals.

person simply will not work out. During that period, they keep everything informal, strictly verbal. At the same time, even when they go to a formal agreement, they make sure it contains a termination provision.

until the baton is passed. An ambitious successor needs and deserves gradually in-creasing authority and benefits. Options include deferred compensation or the op-portunity to acquire partial ownership prior to their retirement. This provides both parties with something to win by sticking to the agreement… and something to lose if it falls apart.

gets what, and spelling out all details and caveats, including how to establish the final valuation of the business. This formal buy/sell agreement protects everybody.

of the buy/sell agreement, it will be worthless if the money is not there when needed to carry out the plan. Under one option, the successor may be able to purchase the company from ongoing profits. Other options include setting up a sinking fund or allowing the successor to simply borrow the money. These options may work but they leave much to chance. Instead, consider a funding vehicle that protects your family in the event of your disability or premature death, such as life and disability income insurance.*

exactly as planned. What if your business hits tough times or your successor dies, be-

if there simply is no heir apparent waiting in the wings? Sometimes, it’s simply best to dismantle the business.Whether or not you have a possible successor for your company, you should begin mapping out your retirement strategy today. Your insurance professional or your inde-pendent professional advisors can help you develop this kind of business strategy.

Saturday, Oct. 23, marks ➢the 20th anniversary of Make a Difference Day. This is the larg-est national day of community service. It also is the day when The Giving Circle of Pembroke plans to have a benefit for Pem-broke’s fuel assistance fund. The benefit will be hosted by Phyllis Bopp, Vickie Burgess, Donna Donovan, Donna Frano, Janet Gransuall, Marie Negus and Terri Schreiber. If you would like to help the cause, you may send checks made payable to “Pembroke Fuel Assistance” to The Burgesses, 274 High St., Pembroke, MA 02359. Winter hats, mittens and socks would also be appreciated. For more information, e-mail [email protected] or visit the Pem-broke Giving Circle page on Fa-cebook.

On Sept. 25, the Benson ➢family came from near and far to do a little research for their fam-ily tree. Sisters Ellie Reppucci of Weymouth and Marge Da-vies of Portage, Mich. and sisters Pat Oakes of Austin, Texas and Nancy Hatch of Cortland, N.Y. met with cousin Hosea Benson from Pembroke. All the cousins used to go to Hosea’s family ice cream store when they were young. Meeting their cousin Hosea for the first time, they shared lots of family photos and stories about his parents (their grandmother’s brother) at the Mayflower Grove in Pembroke. They also visited Mt. Pleasant Cemetery where they found the Benson family plot.

Mary Salters ➢ invites all the good folks around town to visit the craft fair sponsored by the Friends of the Council on Aging to be held Saturday, Oct. 23 from 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the senior center on Center Street. In addi-tion to the crafts, a baked goods table will be set up with all kinds of goodies. A quilt made by the Pembroke Bees will be raffled off that day. Raffle tickets will be available that day.

Last weekend, the Boy ➢Scouts from Troop 43 were scheduled to show and sell their popcorn products at the Pembroke Country Club and at That Bloomin’ Place. If you

missed the boys on your travels around town and would like to order your popcorn to help with their fundraising efforts, you may call or e-mail one of the event co-chairwomen, Margi Cleveland at 781-293-7363 or [email protected] or Kathy Anzalone at 781-293-0430 or [email protected].

Be sure to check out the ➢new sign for Pembroke High School and Hobomock Elemen-tary School that was installed recently by Drew Latwas along with some other Troop 43 Boy Scouts. Drew, 13, decided on this project to fulfill the require-ments for his Eagle Scout badge. The project involved getting ap-proval from town and school officials in Pembroke, raising $1,000 from local businesses and donations and installing

the sign. Drew decided on this project because the old sign was hard to read, making it difficult for visitors to find the schools and athletic fields. Drew hopes to become an Eagle Scout in January.

The Mattakeesett Garden ➢Club of Pembroke recently lost two of its longtime active mem-bers. Thanks to the generosity of club members, a donation was sent to the First Baptist Church of Hanson for youth scholar-ships in memory of Lolita Hol-bert. A donation also was sent to the Weymouth Food Pantry in memory of Teddy Berry, who lived in Weymouth several years before moving to Pembroke. Both ladies will be greatly missed.

We certainly had an unusual summer and fall. Our veg-etable garden went crazy.

I think it was probably due to the large amount of extreme heat followed by the large doses of rainfall. Not only were our vegetables late in producing this summer but they also were smaller in size. We had oodles of tomatoes that we used in our salads. For weeks on end we didn’t have to think about lunch because we automatically knew it would be a BLT. The other day, John went out and gathered the remainder of the harvest. He was able to fill a large container with the last of the tomatoes, peppers and eggplant. I’ve been thinking that this bounty has provided us with the perfect ingredients to make a large batch of ratatouille. All I will have to add is an onion, a few cloves of garlic, a zucchini, some herbs and voila! I can taste it already. And now let’s see what’s going on around town.

ports a zero quorum and felt that people who want to keep the 150 should stand up for it.

“The selectmen have spo-ken that they are in favor of 150 quorum. Stand up for the sanctity of the 150 quorum if that’s what you believe,” he said. “We’ve had problems for the last 15 years getting a quorum to start a meeting and maintaining a quorum. Other towns have gone to zero quo-rum and never have a problem because the fear is that three people will run Town Meeting. It brings more people to Town Meeting. And if that’s the case — if people really want to stay home and not vote on town things, and they want to leave it up to three people — then the three people who are here deserve to vote.”

Dodge said he did not re-member the quorum being questioned recently, though standing votes taken toward the end of meetings have been under 150. According to Town Meeting rules, the quorum is assumed unless a resident for-mally questions it.

“It’s been done before, though I don’t remember it be-ing done when there were so few items left,” Dodge said. “It’s any member’s right to question the quorum, and he did and we were 40 short.”

Dodge said he felt the meeting was a lively one.

“It was a meeting that in-cluded probably the most ro-bust discussion that we’ve had in a long time. We went from asking questions about the number of phone lines at the Council on Aging to talking about our future in recycling and trash disposal. It was a good discussion,” he said.

Articles that drew the most debate centered on how to handle Pembroke’s recycling and solid waste. (See story on page 5.)

Voters also haggled over whether to borrow or spend on various projects.

Town Meeting rejected Article 11, which would have authorized the town to borrow up to $806,342 to complete the Mattakeesett Street athletic complex. Proponents argued it would keep Pembroke at the table for a possible $500,000 state parks grant, but oth-ers questioned how the town would make up the remaining $300,000.

“The future is too uncer-tain, the times are little bit too troubling, to put us on the hook for $34,000 [in debt service] next year and roll-ing down to about $20,000 15 years from now,” said Hilary Wilson, a former selectman. “Those monies could certainly be used to perhaps keep a po-lice officer on the street, or a DPW worker, or take care of a more pressing need.”

Resident Brian Krause ar-gued that the measure didn’t

necessitate borrowing but did made Pembroke eligible for the grant.

“It comes down to no risk on anybody tonight,” he said. “It’s a vote to keep our chips on the table, and if we get the grant we’re in and we can de-cide then if we’re willing to play, or we can fold.”

Former selectman Don Anderson questioned officials’ plan to borrow money on sev-eral articles, when the town had more than $800,000 in un-spent money for FY2011.

“We should live within our means starting now,” he said.

Anderson amended Article 20, which sought to borrow $30,000 to improve drainage on Glenwood Road, to have the money come from free

cash instead. The measure passed with his change.

Anderson also proposed an amendment to Article 27, which sought to trans-fer $314,250 from the town’s “rainy day” fund to place in an escrow account pending the results of a lawsuit with Silver Lake Regional School District. Anderson said he felt the money should come from free cash.

Town Accountant Mike Buckley said officials believed the money would not be spent but that it was a sign of “good faith” to the courts to create the escrow account.

Anderson later withdrew the amendment.

what it was like to be a Jew during that time period,” said Marcie Herold, play director and Thespian Troupe adviser. “He basically put it down to, if you lived in Pembroke and all of a sudden your town was surrounded by tanks and you weren’t allowed to go to the Hanover Mall. That’s what it was like for the people of Am-sterdam.”

Herold also talked about what it might have been like in the tiny annex, hidden in the office building where Otto Frank had worked.

“I’ve talked a lot about the fact that the stage is probably twice the size of where they actually lived,” she said. “So we’ve worked a lot with act-ing and characterization and how, as you get further and further into the play, and we skip time, six months, a year, how they would really get on each other’s nerves.”

In her sixth year as direc-tor, Herold said she wanted to give the students a meatier production than the comedies of past seasons.

“It was time to let them re-ally sink their teeth into some-thing that was a little more challenging acting-wise,” she said.

Senior Brianna Mitchell plays the title character, Anne Frank, who is 13 at the play’s start.

“I read the book when I was in elementary school, but I never thought I would be the character I read about in the book,” she said. “I have to get in touch with my younger years. She’s 13, and I’m 17. But it’s fun kind of skipping around, being happy about the situation. It’s not really a pleasant situation during the Holocaust, but she makes the best of it.”

Mitchell and sisters Nika and Xochi Salazar (who play Edith Frank and the Anne of Today, respectively) are Jew-ish in real life, so the story has special meaning for them.

“This is a story that needs to be told over and over again so things like this never hap-pen,” Nika Salazar said.

Senior Chris Feth plays Otto Frank, the sole survivor among the annex inhabitants.

“It’s very eye-opening in a way, because we’re actually going up on stage and being the characters and having the emotions that they had,” he said.

Juniors Matt Suckow and Brittany Pennellatore play Mr. and Mrs. Van Daan.

“You obviously know what’s going to happen in the end if you’ve read up on Anne Frank or you know anything about it, but it’s not depress-ing,” Pennellatore said. “There are moments where it’s hope-ful, and there is comic relief — the Van Daans do play a huge role in the comic relief.

I would describe us as a dys-functional family.”

Senior Zach Henderson plays the couple’s son, Peter, who has a little romance with Anne.

“People always learn about the Holocaust from a global standpoint, and it’s a good change to see two families that were affected by it,” Hender-son said of the show. “They’re real families and it actually happened to them.”

Suckow said the play tells Frank’s story in a new way.

“I don’t think most people have seen Anne Frank. Most people have just read it and said, oh, this is just a really sad and bland book. But doing it on stage really brings it to life, and I think people are going to love it,” he said.

Though there are some light moments in the play, overall the story is a serious one, and the young actors say they try to handle it as such.

“You need to treat it with serious emotion and you can’t joke around about it,” said ju-nior Tom Warren, who plays Mr. Dussell, a dentist who comes to live with the Franks and Van Daans.

The nature of the play, and the fact that the actors are por-traying real people, has made the production a little more challenging than past shows, according to senior Noelle Cormier, who plays Miep Gies, an associate of Otto Frank who helps hide the families.

“In some of the other plays we’ve done, there were char-acters where you could bring your own personality to the

table, and while you can bring your own personality into this, you’re representing real people. It’s difficult,” Cormier said. “You want to do them proud.”

By roB tocci, peMBroke DeMocratic town coMMittee

The sheer number of accomplishments Governor Deval Patrick, Lt. Governor Tim Murray and the Demo-cratic legislature have achieved gives me hope for

the future of our commonwealth. It wasn’t many years ago that Beacon Hill accomplished little. Gov. Deval Patrick’s work with the legislature has led to the two most productive legislative ses-sions in 30 years. To those who complain that government does little for them, I say, “Look at the governor’s record.” In fact, the governor’s record is so long that I would not be able to discuss it in its entirety in this article, so I will limit my comments to jobs, education, health care and the environment.

Gov. Patrick recognizes the difficulty of finding work in this recession and the frustration of those who can’t find a job. Because money has been put into job-training programs, life sciences and repairing our roads and bridges, 60,000 jobs have been created since December 2009. I am especially pleased that

people are employed in repairing our infra-structure, which was woefully ignored during the Big Dig. The $10 billion invested will not only make our daily driving less stressful but also will spur economic activity.

In education, the governor has not reduced K-12 fund-ing. Education aid to cities and towns could have been an easy target to cut during the recession, but it wasn’t. The governor realizes that our people are our most valuable natural resource, that by producing a highly educated work force, Massachu-setts becomes a more attractive place to do business. A proven advantage in school success is early childhood education, which the governor has expanded. Preparing children for school is arguably the most valuable commodity the Commonwealth can provide for its young residents. I feel strongly about education because the Commonwealth (and my community) educated me through K-12, undergraduate and graduate levels of college. In return, I taught 30 years in the public schools.

The state’s health care bill was enacted before Gov. Patrick took office, but he has strongly supported it by inserting provi-sions that prevent losing coverage because of a job layoff or a pre-existing condition. With regard to the most challenging aspect of health care, cost control, the governor has negotiated lower premiums with the state’s four largest insurance compa-nies. The combined coverage by state and private insurance pro-grams means that we can see a medical professional on a regular basis, thereby avoiding medical crises and expensive treatment in emergency rooms.

As I have grown older, I have come to fully appreciate the natural beauty that characterizes Massachusetts. To preserve the natural beauty of the state, Gov. Patrick has created the larg-est land conservation initiative in the state’s history, which will result in the protection of 75,000 acres by the end of 2010. He has worked with the legislature to pass strong greenhouse emis-sions laws. He has invested in solar and wind energy, which will reduce our dependence on fossil fuels.

After looking at Gov. Patrick’s record, I am even more con-vinced that his policies and priorities will continue to help Mas-sachusetts’ residents lead healthy, satisfying lives. Deval Patrick and Tim Murray are a team that will lead us forward.

By vincent cogliano Jr., plyMouth county gop chairMan

When Charlie Baker announced he would run for governor, I was excited because he is a no-nonsense leader who knows how to create an atmosphere that

will promote jobs and put people back to work — and that is ex-actly what the people of Massachusetts need at this time. We’ve had four years of promises that haven’t been kept, and I believe what we really need is a governor who has a real plan to get this state back on the right track. The right person for the job is Char-lie Baker.

Massachusetts has had negative population growth for years, yet government keeps growing larger. Is it possible these two facts are related? Is it possible that average people are just fed up with supporting an unsustainable, ever-growing government that is sinking under the weight of bloated pensions and its enormous size?

For the current administration, the answer to all of our prob-lems is to raise taxes and increase regulations. No wonder people are leaving our state. Government stifles business growth and we lose jobs, and then they expand government to “help people” because they are hurting, and then raise taxes to make up for lost revenue, and then the process starts all over again. You would think that sooner or later they would understand that they are the problem, not the solution. But they don’t and they never will. That is why we need Charlie Baker.

Let’s talk about Charlie Baker’s plan. He will implement 13 key initiatives, his Baker’s dozen that will restore our finances and create jobs starting with opening up public construction jobs to all bidders, which will save between $75 million and $100 million. His plan calls for health reforms that will save $100 million by lowering health care costs for cities and towns, and pension re-forms that will save an additional $50 million for taxpayers.

By repealing the Pacheco Law, one of the harshest anti-priva-tization laws in the country, we can save between $75 and $100 million, and by consolidating and shrinking state government the state will save up to $400 million. His plan calls for, among other things, reforming Medicaid, and requiring proof of legal residency to receive state benefits, as well as reducing the red tape that pun-ishes small business. You can visit Charlie Baker’s Web site to read the entire plan that will reform state government, but the end result will be a healthier state economy that will encourage busi-nesses to hire new workers and put people back to work, and we all benefit from that.

I’d like to think there are easy solutions to the problems we face, but that isn’t the case. If it were easy, perhaps the current ad-ministration would have done something that would have helped. But the problems are difficult, and they don’t want to make tough decisions. Charlie Baker knows that his fixes to our problems will be tough on government and some special interests, but they will be easy for taxpayers, and I endorse that plan 100 percent. The people deserve a chance to see if we can start new businesses or grow the ones we already own, and see if that will create jobs and make things better for everyone. I believe it will because I have faith in us and very little in them. We can do it better than government and all we want is a chance to prove it. It is time for Charlie Baker.

Teens need lesson in responsibility

I have to say I was rather shocked by the response of some of the Pembroke teens who were quot-

ed in the article on the new texting and talking ban [Express, Oct. 8], saying that they would continue to text and/or talk and drive regardless of the law’s passage making this illegal.

It is time for these young people to get a civics lesson in the concept of obeying the law and an understanding that a driver’s license is not a right — it is a privilege earned by being respon-sible and lawful. I would hate to be the parent of a teen who was thoughtless and arrogant enough to be quoted by a news-paper as saying that he would continue to text and drive anytime he wanted to.

My aspiration for replacing the Pembroke High School and Hobomock Elementary School

sign as an Eagle Scout project wouldn’t have been possible if it weren’t for all the amaz-ing people who have supported me.

I would like to thank my fellow Troop 43 Boy Scouts, James Hartigan, Earl Turn-bull, Alex Bowler, Dylan Fraser and William Tavares for their hard labor.

Thank you to the Boy Scout leaders for guiding me through the process: Eagle advi-sors John Ioven and Sgt. Rick Wall, Scout-master Jim Harris, committee chairman Jim Campbell, treasurer Jean Lothrop and com-mittee members David Shea, Alan McClar-ey, Vinnie Foster, Don Conkey, Ken Corti and the advancement chairman of Cranberry Harbors District Pat Herring.

The Pembroke town officials couldn’t have been more cooperative. Thank you to Superintendent Frank Hackett, the School

Committee, the Board of Selectmen, the De-partment of Public Works, the Building De-partment, Scott Glauben and Diane Tobin.

Thank you to Jessica Lamarre, Liz Har-tigan, Amy Dubois, Beth Asmus and Sheila Schmuttenmaer for supporting me with character references. Thanks to Dave Li-tchfield — it was a pleasure to work with you through the sign design process. Thank you to Debee and John Tlumacki for the equipment loan, gardening advice and pho-tographs. Lastly, I would like to thank my mom, dad, grandmother and sister Erin for their love and support.

Yes. Allowing illegal immigrants to take advantage of public benefits is unfair to the hardworking taxpayers who are hav-

ing a tough time as it is getting by. Our state coffers are stretched to the brink and we cannot afford to be fund-ing programs for those who shouldn’t be eligible in the first place.

My preference would be for the federal government to develop a comprehensive im-migration policy that includes first securing our borders. As they have failed to do so, it

falls to the states to take a more pro-active approach. Massachusetts already prohibits illegal immigrants from receiving most state benefits, but there is more to be done.

During the most recent Mass. legislative session a bill that would have addressed these issues failed to advance by an 82-75 margin. As your next rep-resentative I’ll work to convince my colleagues to support this measure and get it passed.

My opponent has come down with a case of election year fever and jumped aboard the anti-im-migration bandwagon with fervor. While I applaud him for finally taking some initiative, I think it’s fair to ask why he hasn’t done anything in the prior seven-and-half years he’s been in office. I won’t wait that long to act.

What we should not be doing is taking extreme measures such as repealing the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, as some have advocated. We need a tough but fair immigration law based on sound public policy, not based on anger or fear.

Finally, in our rush to take a hard line on immi-

gration, we must also work to reform our immigra-tion policies for those who do play by the rules and come to this country legally. Our country benefits from the diversity they bring. We remain a nation of immigrants, and that should not be lost in the debate. My own great-grandfather emigrated from Greece and changed his name from Canteles to Cutler in the process. So please vote Canteles!

Part 2: As the only candidate in this race who has actually created jobs and launched a small busi-ness, I know first-hand what the state needs to do to move our economy forward. We’ve got to put the focus back on small businesses.

For too long our economic policies have catered to big corporations while Main Street suffers. Ma-jor tax breaks were handed out to biotech, mutual fund and defense contractors, while small businesses were getting walloped with higher unemployment rates and health care premiums.

Small businesses are the backbone of our econ-omy. They are also the ones that support our com-munity, sponsor our little league teams and donate to local charities. We must do more to support them.

As your next state representative, I’ll work to:1) Rein in health costs by allowing small busi-

nesses more flexibility to bargain for rates.2) Streamline state regulations and freeze unem-

ployment insurance rates.3) Invest state funds in community banks that

provide credit for small business and start-ups4) Make it easier to solve legal issues in small

claims court or through mediation.5) Promote tourism, “buy-local” programs and

our growing aquaculture industry.6) Reduce the sales tax back to 5.0 percent.Mr. Cutler is the Democratic nominee for the

Sixth Plymouth District.

During my first term as a state represen-tative, House Democrats attempted to ram through legislation that would

grant undocumented aliens the same in-state tuition rates as United States citizens. This proposal was a brazen attempt to allow those who have en-tered our country illegally to pay the same tuition fees as the children of legal, taxpay-ing residents. As your state representative, I am proud to

have stopped such an irresponsible piece of legisla-tion from moving forward. In-state tuition should be available only for legal Massachusetts citizens.

Additionally, we need to eliminate incentives that attract illegal immigrants to both our state and country. As a sponsor of the comprehensive “Perry Amendment,” I support the implementation of a na-tional background check for any individual apply-ing for state benefits, including housing vouchers, unemployment benefits and state-subsidized health care. I have also filed my own legislation that will severely fine or incarcerate employers who know-ingly hire illegal immigrants. This legislation has been cosponsored by both Democrats and Republi-cans. Unless these employers are subjected to seri-ous financial and legal penalties, honest working people and small business owners will continue to be at a disadvantage in the market. I am not op-posed to legal immigration. We must, however, en-act laws that will ensure that immigrants coming to Massachusetts do it the right way.

Part 2: There is no question that higher taxes, job creation and the economy are the real issues concerning voters this election season. The best

way to create a job is to encourage an entrepre-neur; enterprising business-owners will put people back to work. The government’s function in this process is to foster an environment suitable for job growth. Instead of providing one-time handouts to businesses, government should get out of the way by easing the regulatory burdens it has placed on small business owners and by encouraging a reli-able and fair tax policy for all employers.

The legislature changes corporate tax policy far too often. The first step we can take toward nur-turing a healthy business environment is to repeal the graduated corporate tax rate and enact a flat 5 percent corporate tax. At the very least, we should also repeal the 25 percent sales tax hike; this outra-geous increase pushes businesses and consumers alike out of Massachusetts in search of more af-fordable business alternatives elsewhere.

As a representative who is always mindful of small business, I voted against the Massachu-setts health care overhaul in 2006, which laid the groundwork for the federal program. This plan has become overwhelmingly costly, and small busi-nesses are now partly footing the bill for govern-ment health insurance. This drain on small busi-ness tally sheets hinders their ability to hire more workers.

I am the only candidate in this race endorsed by the National Federation of Independent Businesses, a small business advocacy association. I have been working on behalf of small businesses from the be-ginning. More jobs mean more money for local aid and education. Higher taxes and intrusive govern-ment regulations mean fewer jobs and fewer oppor-tunities for our children in Massachusetts.

Mr. Webster is the Republican nominee and in-cumbent for the Sixth Plymouth District.

Questions with the candidates: State rep.

This week’s questionIn the weeks leading up to the state election, the Express has been ask-

ing questions of the candidates running for state representative for the Sixth Plymouth District. The final question follows:

Part 1: If there was a bill that would require adults applying for public ben-efits such as public housing, unemployment benefits, welfare or workers compen-sation, to supply proof of legal residence such as a state driver’s license, came up

for a vote in the House, would you support it? Part 2: What would you do to foster job creation in the district moving forward? How would you foster the growth of

existing businesses or encourage new businesses?

The Pembroke field hock-ey still has a shot at qualifying for the MIAA tournament, but there is no more margin for er-ror.

A 3-0 loss to Hingham at the high school on Tuesday dropped Pembroke to 4-8-3 on the season. With five games left on the schedule, the Titans can’t lose another game or they will be eliminated from the postseason.

The Titans fell behind the eight ball quickly when the Harborwomen scored in the first minute of the game. It took the Titans most of the first half to shake off the cobwebs, but just when they seemed to be putting together some of-fense, Hingham struck again with 3:44 to go in the first half and added another goal in the

second.“We didn’t show up un-

til halfway through the first half,” head coach Bill Flynn said. “We played better as the game went on, but it was too late.”

The loss marks the fourth straight game without a goal

for Pembroke. The Titans can still afford one more tie and make the postseason, but with the offense struggling, Flynn said the focus is strictly on winning at this point.

“We need to win out,” he said. “We have five games left and we need to win all five.”

blind side on fourth down.“Jon [Hooper] gives us

everything he has, but losing Walshy really hurt us [running the football] and we dropped six balls that we should have caught,” Bancroft said. “Those are things we need to learn.”

Nagle found a reliable re-ceiver in captain Luke Leavitt in the fourth quarter and hit him over the center of the field for three quick strikes

that brought the Titans to the five-yard line. Hooper plowed into the end zone to give the Titans a ray of hope with 2:12 left in the game. But Quincy recovered the onside kick and got the two first downs they needed to run out the clock.

The Titans will play a crossover game Saturday against the Hingham Harbor-men of the Keenan Division before returning to Fisher Di-vision action on Oct. 29 when they host Middleboro.

Do or die

A visit with girls soccer captain Jenna Bostwick

Bostwick is hoping to captain the girls soccer team to a division championship this season be-fore switching to swimming, where she was one

of four Titans to make it to the South Sectionals last winter. She will finish up her athletic career at Pembroke High School with her second spring as a girls lacrosse captain. She shared her thoughts on …

… where she wants to go to school. My top school is UNH. I’m trying to play soccer there. I’ve loved the school since freshman year when I visited. I spent the summer up there for soccer and have been talking to the coach about playing.

… what she wants to study. Probably a business major with a minor in accounting. My dad owns his own business so I’ve been around that my whole life.

… playing soccer. I’ve played it just about my whole life. It was the first sport I ever tried and I’ve been

in clubs since I was 11. I love the team aspect.

… learning to swim. I actually learned to swim in Dux-bury because I didn’t want to swim in the pond, and I swam for them [on their town team]. It was really competitive; it wasn’t really about the town, it was more like club swim-ming.

… her favorite high school sports memory. I went to the South Sectional finals for swimming last year [with the relay team]. We placed 19th out of 32 teams and we were the last team to qualify. That is one of the most memorable things from high school as a whole.

… her goals after college. Eventually I want to start my own business and get into physical therapy. I’m really into sports, and sport-related injuries kind of fascinate me.

It ain’t overTitans beat Quincy, tie Sailors to stay in running for banner


Things looked bleak for the boys soccer team after a 2-0 loss to Duxbury last Tues-day, but what a difference a week makes.

The Titans rebounded from their loss to the Dragons by shutting out Quincy 1-0 on Oct. 14 and then played Scitu-ate to a scoreless tie on Mon-day to move one point back of a share of the Fisher Division lead.

After losing 3-0 to the Sailors in their first meeting on Sept. 15, the Titan defense stymied the Sailor attack on their home pitch for the full 80 minutes on Monday. Though Pembroke still struggled of-fensively, leaving Scituate with a point in the standings

was a big momentum builder for the team according to head coach George Stagno.

“They beat us 3-0, and we really turned it around,” Stag-no said. “I think the intensity on defense showed. We’ve been doing a lot of practicing on defensive strategies and it’s paying off because we really shut them down. [On offense, Chris] Waterfield had his best game in two years. He prob-ably had 10 shots, none went in, but they were really close. It was a great game.”

The tie, combined with the win over Quincy, moved the Titans one point behind Hanover and Scituate, who are tied at the top of the Divi-sion. The Titans had a chance to leapfrog the Indians on Wednesday, and Stagno said, if his team plays like they did against the Sailors, they are not out of the running for a share of the league title.

“If we play like we did to-day, we can beat them or tie them,” he said. “If we do that, we’re still right at the top of the Fisher Division, believe it or not.”

Titan soccerstands aloneGirls shut out Scituate to take over Fisher Division lead


The problem for the girls soccer team all season has been that at some point during a game they hit a wall.

Monday night they showed how dominant they can be when everything clicks for 80 minutes.

The Titans dominated the Scituate Sailors from start to finish in a 3-0 win that vault-ed Pembroke over the Sailors and into sole possession of the Fisher Division lead.

The Titans controlled the midfield and carried the ball deep into the Sailor end, but they weren’t able to challenge the keeper early.

That changed in the 10th minute when the Titans were able to keep the ball in the Sci-tuate end after a missed shot and get it to Christen Cahill, who fired a shot off the top of the net and in from 20 yards out.

Resiliency also led to the Titans second goal in the 22nd minute. A diving effort by Renee Troudeau earned Pem-broke a corner and, though Michaela McIsaac’s ball sailed just over the head of Michelle Coate, the Titans were able to keep possession and get the ball back to their captain in the box for a low shot that hugged the inside of the left post.

“We’ve working hard on making sure we are getting

the rebounds, and the second effort today was huge,” head coach Kara Connerty said. “Everyone was running to the ball, and we finished it when we had the opportunities. Mi-chelle was terrific in the mid-field today and Christen’s was a huge beautiful goal to open up the scoring.”

Scituate tried to catch Pem-broke napping after Coate’s goal with a quick counterat-tack, but keeper Brooke Mu-sial made the save.

It was more of the same from Pembroke to start the second half. They continued to lock down the Scituate of-fense and attack the Sailor net but were unable to get a shot on target. The Titans seemed appeared to be running out of steam with 15 minutes left in the game, and Scituate mount-ed their first sustained offense of the game. The Titans were able to hold off the Sailors thanks to the speed of the backs and strong play in net by Musial and were able to finish strong when McIsaac sent a pass over the Scituate back-field for Trudeau to finish.

“Renee had a terrific effort and Michaela was great for us,” Connerty said. “That was a beautiful pass to Renee to set that up. Scituate is a good team, and to beat them 3-0 was huge for us. I think the inten-sity was there and we played 80 minutes of soccer today.”

The Titans improved to 8-3-2 on the season and need one more win to qualify for the MIAA tournament after miss-ing by one point last season.

More miscuesMental errors doom Titans


Pembroke’s problems catching passes hurt them when they hosted the Quincy Presidents at the high school on Friday night, but their tackling problems killed them.

Quincy running backs Reggie Caesar, Jalen Green and Ronn Newsome plowed through the Pembroke de-fense for huge gains while Pembroke couldn’t wrap them up in a 22-12 loss to the Presidents.

The Titans took the lead 6-0 on a Pat Walsh nine-yard run in the first quarter, but Caesar eliminated that with a 65-yard touchdown run on Quincy’s next drive.

The Presidents handed off to Green on their first offensive play of the sec-ond quarter, and he broke through two sets of tacklers on his way to an 87-yard score that put Quincy on top to stay.

Green had another big gain on the ground to the Pembroke eight-yard line with one second left before

halftime, and he kicked a field goal to put the Presi-dents up 15-6.
