When it came down to it, the turtles won.

Voters on Tuesday decid-ed to keep a one-acre lot on Pelham Street as habitat for the endangered eastern box turtle and other wildlife that

may live in the area rath-er than hand over the prop-erty to a non-profit group like Habitat

for Humanity to build an af-fordable home.

Affordable Housing Com-mittee chairman Hilary Wil-son has been working to pre-pare this lot, part of a five-acre parcel owned by the town, for a housing project and said af-ter that meeting that he was disappointed by the vote.

“It may be the wrong time; maybe people aren’t in the giving mood,” Wilson said. “I don’t know where we go from here with it, whether we come back again with another site, another proposal — it’s any-one’s guess. It’s the morning after, and we’re still trying to figure out what went wrong.”

This summer, Wilson’s brother-in-law donated his professional services to sur-vey the property, and Wilson

Donate $1 or a canned good when you get your ExpressHelp the Pembroke Food Pantry!

This week, we are asking you to do something we’ve never asked

before –– pay for the Express! Don’t be alarmed; there’s good reason. Starting this week and running until Thanksgiving, we are helping the Pembroke Food Pantry raise money and canned goods to help our neighbors in need.

Please deposit a dollar or a non-perishable food item in the donation container at participating stores when you pick up your Express. For our readers who have home delivery, we encourage you to donate when you visit a local store or to make a donation through the Pembroke Boy Scouts, Cub Scouts or Girl Scouts who are planning a town-wide food drive on Nov. 14.

Donations of canned goods also may be made at the Center Street fire station or Pembroke Public Library.

Please keep in mind that 100 percent of all money goes directly to the food pantry, and after Thanksgiving the Express will return to being free on the newsstand as it has always been.

There are a lot of challenges in the world today, and some may seem insurmountable, but a neighbor going hungry is one problem we can solve. Thanks for helping us make a difference.

Residents reject plan to build Habitat home on Pelham St.


Having filled in for longtime Town Moderator John Walsh at various times in the past, moderator Stephen

Dodge thought he knew what to expect at Tues-day’s special Town Meeting.

But there was one thing he didn’t count on.Standing at the podium about 3 1/2 hours

into the four-hour meeting, Dodge remarked, “I have newfound respect not only for the 59 years that John Walsh was in this position, but also for the quality of his kidneys.”

Tuesday’s meeting, Dodge’s first as the new moderator, ended around 11:30 p.m.

“I’m comfortable with the way it went,” he said afterward. “We accomplished a lot of busi-ness. I think it was orderly; I think it was fair. I think people learned something in the pro-

Billy Botsaris, along with fiancée Lorena Petrillo and sister

Dina Botsaris, took over own-ership of The Omelet Factory on Schoosett Street in August after longtime owner Phil Fitz-patrick decided to sell the busi-ness. Since then, Botsaris, who also owns Yianni’s Pizza in Rockland, has done a few ren-ovations, added some items to the lunch menu and will begin serving dinner this week.

What brought you to Pembroke? I was looking for a breakfast shop, thinking the hours would be easier, but I don’t know — waking up that early is tough.

You’re keeping the pizza place? I run back and forth. I like this better because I actu-ally own the building. Yianni’s is in a plaza; I’ve been there eight years. It’s been good, but I kind of want to move on.

What’s your ideal restau-rant? This is it. If you talk to a lot of people in this business, they want the high-end food, $30-a-plate type of place. I’m not a big fan of that. I want someplace where someone can go eat for $10, where the whole family can eat for $30-$40

Why did you decide to keep the ‘Omelet Factory’ name? I figured the name’s been around for 30 years, so I didn’t want to change that. Don’t get me wrong: I’d love to put my name out there, but it has a good reputation and I’d like it to stay the same.

What’s new on the menu? We’ve got a whole variety of omelets. They already had the Greek omelet, but I just per-fected it. It was only olives and feta; I added spinach and tomatoes to it. The main thing that I changed was the lunch menu; it was very limited. Now there’s a pretty good size lunch menu to try to bring peo-ple in for lunch. We get a lot of people for breakfast, but we don’t get a lot for lunch. Peo-ple will learn to come here at lunch time because we’re ac-tually faster than it was. They

had one person working; now we have two, sometimes three people in the kitchen.

You’re also doing dinner hours? This Thursday [Nov. 5], we’re starting the dinner menu. It’s going to be 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. every day, including Sunday. We’ll see how it goes.

How does the dinner menu compare? We’re go-ing to have the same menu [as lunch]; the only thing different is we’ll have dinner specials, five or six items — turkey din-ner, meatloaf, traditional din-ner items.

What’s your cooking style? I wouldn’t call it a par-ticular style; it’s more of a mix-ture of things. I’ve done Greek cuisine and Italian cuisine, so I guess I took the best things from each and made it my own. It’s sort of like a menu that I’d like to eat. I’d say it’s Ameri-can cuisine — with a kick.

How did you get into the food business? My parents opened their first pizza place in the late ’70s, early ’80s, so I kind of grew up in the business. I got out of it for a little bit; I thought I’d do something else, because I saw what my parents went through. We didn’t get to see much of them; I grew up with my grandparents. It’s a lot of hours. But anything else I did, it just brought me back to cooking. I like it so much.

Does Lorena cook as well? Yes. She was working at a place in the North End called

Anthony’s; she has been work-ing breakfast probably since she was 15 or 16. I have no breakfast experience; I mean, I do it for myself. But I had it down in about two days.

Has it been an adjust-ment going from the pizza crowd to breakfast? It’s a dif-ference. I don’t get to interact with the customers as much as I like to. My other place, every customer that comes inside, I get to talk to. Over here, I depend on my waitresses. In this business, you have to trust your waitresses to put your personality out there or see if anything’s wrong.

Did you keep the same staff? Yes, all the waitresses are the same. There are wait-resses that have been here probably 15, 20 years, so they pretty much know everybody. You don’t want to get rid of that.

Do you have any plans for where you’d like to take the restaurant? We’ll see how it goes, how the hours work out. It’s a lot of hours, but I figure we’ll try it for a couple of months. I’m confi-dent with my food. Not that I have a huge ego, but I think a lot of people are going to be impressed.

Do you have a best dish? I have a lot of favorites. I’m a big pasta and pizza person. Our Chicken Broccoli Ziti Alfredo is, hands down, one of the best. Our pizza is excellent.

Tattoo studios won’t be forced into Pembroke’s adult use zone but could be relegat-ed to an expanded business zone nearby.

Proponents of a zoning bylaw regulating body art es-

tablishments asked resi-dents to allow them to bring the discussion back before the Planning

Board rather than voting on the item Tuesday night. Voters agreed.

Zoning Board chairman Greg Hanley, who proposed the bylaw along with building inspectors George Verry and Tony Marino, said they had decided to expand the zone af-ter hearing what people had to say at an Oct. 19 public hear-ing.

“It was clear to us … that we could open ourselves up to possible lawsuits that could call into jeopardy the adult use zone,” Hanley said.

Rather than limit body art businesses to the adult use zone, located in the northeast-ern corner of town, officials

decided to expand its allow-able area to include sections of the Business B zone along Church Street as well as the Industrial A zone, which is lo-cated around Corporate Park Drive.

“The intent of the bylaw is to keep it [this use] out of

the residential areas,” Hanley said.

Because this changed the bylaw considerably, town counsel advised them to bring the amended law back before residents at another public hearing.

Businessman Adam Wor-rall, who has applied for a spe-cial permit to open a tattoo stu-dio on Mattakesett Street near Lindy’s General Store, will be back before the Zoning Board on Monday, Nov. 9 for a con-tinued public hearing.

On Oct. 19, Worrall’s at-torney said his client wished to withdraw his application with-out prejudice because they did not feel a special permit was required. The board agreed to table the issue to seek a legal opinion before deciding wheth-er to grant Worrall’s request. If the application is withdrawn with prejudice, Worrall could not apply for the permit again for two years.

Hanley said the decision to draft a body art establishment bylaw was not spurred by Worrall’s application and that, because Worrall’s permit was pending, he would not have been impacted by the new by-law if it was approved.

Back to the Planning BoardBody art bylaw tabled; zone could get expanded

FALL SPECIAL TOWN

MEETINGBuilding department officials have suggested expanding the allowable area for tattoo stu-dios to include not just the adult use zone [shown with hatch marks in the top right] but also sections of the Business B dis-trict [shaded area along Route 139/Church Street] and the Industrial A zone [large shad-ed area in the middle around Corporate Park Drive].


Attempted robbery at knife-point reported two days later

Police say a masked man wielding a knife attempted to rob Muckey’s Super Mart on Church Street on Oct. 24 but fled when the clerk refused to give him money and told him he was calling the police.

The clerk did not actually call police until several days later, on Tuesday, Oct. 27.

Police Lt. Mike Jenness said the clerk seemed to think he did not need to report the in-cident because no money was taken but that an-other employee later encouraged him to do so.

The incident occurred on Saturday, Oct. 24 around 9 p.m. As the clerk was cleaning up, a man wearing a bandana over his face and wielding a white-handled knife burst in and de-manded the clerk hand over money from the cash register, Jenness said. The clerk reported-ly went to the phone and said he was calling the police, and the man turned around and fled.

The would-be robber, later seen on the store surveillance tape, is described as being a white male, medium build, about 5’11”, wear-ing a blue hooded sweatshirt, jean shorts and white high-top sneakers, along with the ban-dana, Jenness said. As of Tuesday, police had not identified the man.

Pair of vehicle break-ins on West Street

Police say two iPods and some cash were taken from two vehicles on West Street last weekend. Both vehicles were left unlocked overnight. The incidents are under investiga-tion. Lt. Mike Jenness reminds residents that they should remove all valuables and lock their vehicles at night to deter thefts.

Three arrested in Halloween night fight

Hanson police arrested a Pembroke man and two others after a fight on Halloween night.

Officers were dispatched to a house party around midnight on Sunday, Nov. 1 for a report of a large fight, according to Hanson Police Lt. Joseph Yakavonis. While en route, officers were advised of a report of gun shots fired. When they arrived, they found the fight had broken up.

It was determined that Eric W. Gray, 26, of Hanson, had fired several rounds into the air over the pond to attempt to end the fight. He then told police he handed the gun to Shawn Michael Davis, 20, of Pembroke, according to Yakavonis.

Gray was charged with discharging a fire-arm within 500 feet of a dwelling, disturbing the peace and FID violations . Davis was charged with unlawful possession of a firearm. A third individual, Crystal M. McNee, 26, of Hanson, was charged with disorderly conduct.

Alleged drill thief caught in woods

An Abington man was charged with larceny after he allegedly attempted to steal two drills from Lowe’s in Pembroke last weekend.

Michael Evans, 28, of Abington pled not guilty on Monday in Plymouth District Court to one charge of larceny over $250.

Police were called to Lowe’s around 5:40 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 31 after a store securi-ty guard observed a man start to walk out the door without paying for two drills. The guard reportedly shouted for the man to stop and he dropped the drills and took off running. Police later found him in the woods and brought him back for identification.

Evans was arrested and bailed that night.

Man charged with assault in July 4 fight

A Hanson man accused of hitting a Pem-broke man with a rock during a July 4 argu-ment is due to be arraigned later this month on assault charges.

Kevin G. Buckley, 19, of Hanson, faces one charge of assault and battery and one charge of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon. His arraignment is scheduled for Nov. 19 in Plymouth District Court.

Buckley is being summonsed after a July 4 incident in which he got into an argument with a resident at a house party on Standish Street. The resident told police that Buckley had ar-rived at the party around 10 p.m. and demanded money he was owed. Buckley was then chased from the party. He returned with several friends around 1 a.m., called the resident outside, and allegedly hit him in the head with a rock, ac-cording to reports.

In his statement to police, Buckley said the other man had come at him with a broken beer bottle and that he had picked up a rock and hit the resident with the rock inside his fist.

First it outgrew Town Hall. Then it got too big for the Council

on Aging. Now Pembroke’s annual Veterans Day ceremony is moving outside, with a spe-cial event planned Wednesday at the Veterans Commemora-tive Town Forest.

Not that Linda Osborne’s complaining.

The Town Memorial Com-mittee chairman said she is pleased to see the program growing.

“We used to have half a dozen to a dozen people, and most of them were [from the committee],” Osborne said. “It’s really very touching to find more and more people coming, especially a lot of young people and families.”

Years ago, the Veterans Day ceremony was held in the same spot as the town’s Memorial Day event — on the Town Memorial Green in front of First Church. But the unpredictable November weather led officials to move the ceremony indoors, first to the Veterans Hall in Town Hall and then to the Council on Ag-ing, Osborne said.

At last year’s event, there was standing room only, and

Osborne wondered where they would move next.

Then Conservation Com-mission member Mark Ames made an offer.

Commission chairman Marcus Ford and Conservation Agent Bob Clarke have been working with local businesses to install a flagpole and granite benches at the entrance to the Town Forest on School Street/Route 27, at the intersection with Lake Street. The project is nearly completed, with a split-rail fence and other loose ends to be tied up this week, Ames said.

“We asked Linda if she would consider holding the Veterans Day ceremony there at the newly established spot so that we could rededicate the Town Forest at the same time,” he said.

The answer was yes.This year’s Veterans Day

ceremony will be held at the flagpole near the entrance to the Veterans Commemorative Town Forest on Wednesday, Nov. 11 at 11 a.m. — the date and time at which, in 1918, the armistice ending World War I was signed.

The ceremony will fea-ture students from the three elementary schools reading their winning essays, the Pem-broke High School choir, local Boy Scouts as the color guard

and several speakers, includ-ing American Legion Post 143 Commander Michael Hurney.

In addition, Ames will re-dedicate the area as the Vet-erans Commemorative Town Forest.

The forest covers 55 acres, stretching from the entrance at the end of Lake Street to the edge of Silver Lake, north to Christina Marie Drive and south to Littlebrook Road.

After the ceremony, the

Legion will serve refreshments inside the Pembroke Commu-nity Middle School cafeteria. School will not be in session.

The public is encouraged to attend the ceremony. Park-ing is available in the middle school parking lot and there will be limited handicapped parking by the Town Forest entrance. About 80 chairs will be set up for the event. In case of inclement weather, the cer-emony will be moved into the school.

As for where the ceremo-ny will go next year, Osborne said the event could remain at the Town Forest, or it might move into the community cen-ter gymnasim.

“I love the idea that we might not go back to the Coun-cil on Aging, because it was really getting too crowded,” Osborne said. “That’s a really good thing.”

Veterans Day ceremony moving outdoorsHow to go

WHAT: Veterans Day ceremony and rededication of the Veterans

Commemorative Town Forest

WHEN: Wed., Nov. 11, 11 a.m.

WHERE: Town Forest flagpole on School Street, next to Pembroke Community

Middle School (parking at the school)


Timothy Watson ➢ , son of Susan (Foley) and Joseph Watson of Pembroke and Am-ber Lienczewski, daughter of Alfred and Sheila Lienczewski of Swansea, are engaged. Plans are underway for a Caribbean cruise wedding in December 2010. Be sure to congratulate Timothy and Amber when you see them around town.

It was a banner weekend ➢for the Sacred Heart speech and debate teams. Last Saturday, the high school’s varsity team com-peted at Dighton Rehoboth and came home with 15 awards. The team won a fourth-place trophy out of 23 competing schools. On Sunday, the Sacred Heart In-termediate School students re-turned to campus from the Con-cord Speech Tournament with eight trophies. Included among those winners was Courtney Burt, 14, who brought home a medal for making semi-finals in Novice Reading. Congratula-tions to Courtney and her team!

Tom Weinreich ➢ of the Commission on Disabilities would like local residents to know he has six walkers avail-able for use, free of charge. The walkers are for anyone in need of them, and they can be used as long as required. Stop by the of-fice, located in the community center, on Tuesdays or Thurs-days between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. or call 781-293-9484 and leave Tom a message. You also can e-mail [email protected]. Tom would like to remind people that he cannot accept donated commodes be-cause of state regulations.

Dr. Michael Rogers ➢ has taken the initiative to once again help support the Coalition for the Homeless. From now until Dec. 12, his staff will be collecting clothing that is clean and serviceable. Winter coats are a much-needed item. If any one around town has a clean winter coat they are no longer in need of, they may drop it off at Dr. Rogers’ office at 235 Washington Street.

As thoughts of upcoming ➢holidays accompany the arrival of autumn weather, the open-ing of a new store that offers something truly unique is worth a visit. Roberta Pulaski, direc-tor of education at the Cardinal

Cushing School in Hanover, invites you to take a ride up Route 53 to the Cushing Trader Center, located on the Cardinal Cushing campus. The boutique offers matted and framed paint-ings, handmade pottery, baskets and jewelry, note cards and more, all created by the stu-dents. The quality of the pieces rival that of Newbury Street galleries. Not only are the stu-dents the featured artists, but they are also the clerks in the shop. Proceeds go toward the art and vocational programs at the school for children with special needs.

Last weekend was a great time to spend outdoors. We took ad-vantage of the nice weather on

Sunday to cover the koi pond with net-ting to keep the fall leaves out. We also put the heater in place to keep the fish cozy during the long winter months. I took the time to size up the work I had done replacing some sills and trim around the windows that had been damaged by water and woodpeckers. For months, I could hear the woodpeck-ers from inside of the house, and I finally was able to locate the areas where they were pecking away. I have purchased a peanut feeder and keep it full of peanuts because I hear that is what woodpeckers like to feed on. So far, so good! And now let’s see what’s going on around town.

Town employees got their raises Tuesday night, but it wasn’t entirely a win.

Officials talked of poten-tial layoffs down the road and

pointed out that, while both union and non-union em-ployees were being given a 1.5 percent

raise this year, they also would be giving back 1 percent of their health insurance costs.

The police union in partic-ular, which previously asked for a 2 percent increase, made several concessions in the cur-rent economic climate, Select-man Arthur Boyle said.

“They gave up a lot of things because they know, A, the town can’t afford them and, B, they want to keep their man on the street,” he said. “There are sacrifices that have been made by the police department and other departments.”

Selectmen, who along with Town Administrator Ed Thorne are the negotiating body for the town, agreed to a one-year contract because of the uncertainty of the town’s future budgets, Boyle said.

Selectman Don Anderson said there have been talks of local aid being cut next year by as much as 20 percent.

“If we’re even close to that, even 10 percent … we could see some reduction in ser-vices,” Anderson said. “We’re going to be asking them [town employees] to take on more … and we need them to be able to afford their bills.”

The total increase in sala-ries voted on for each of the three union contracts included: $28,702 for police, $14,773 for clerical staff and $11,116 for Department of Public Works employees, Town Accountant Mike Buckley said.

Combined with increases to non-union salaries, the to-tal cost to the town was about $100,000 this year, Advisory Committee chairman Matt McNeilly said.

Advisory had recommend-ed that no town employees get raises this year, preferring to put some of that money into the bank for a rainy day or keep it in the general fund to “plug any holes in state aid” in the coming budget.

“We would like to main-tain the status quo,” McNeilly said. “We’re asking for one year, for the town employees to take zero.”

Advisory member Russell Bullock said giving raises did not seem right when the state was laying off workers and re-maining state employees — as well as those in the private sector — were not expecting increases.

“I don’t know where we’re

getting all this money,” Bull-ock said. “We’re giving raises to people today that we could be laying off in a year.”

Though giving town em-ployees a raise this year does not guarantee an increase next year, it does mean that money will remain part of their salaries in the future, officials said.

Resident Becky Colletta said she did not feel comfort-able talking about salaries in the fall.

“I’m just concerned that taking this up in the fall is go-ing to put us in a tough posi-tion come spring when we start to look at the budget as a whole, even if there aren’t cuts to local aid,” she said.

Others said the 1.5 per-cent increase did not seem like much.

“It bothers me that we approved between $300,000 and $800,000 for ball fields and we’re having trouble giv-ing our town employees 1.5 percent,” resident Stephanie Skolnick said. Earlier in the evening, voters had autho-rized the town to borrow up to $807,000 to complete the recreation project on Matta-keesett Street.

Dan Lockyer, who works part-time for the town, also spoke on the matter.

“We’re throwing a lot of numbers around tonight,” he said. “I would just like to say that being a part-time employee here in the town of Pembroke, if you approve this, I would get a 17-cents-an-hour raise and I would appreciate that.”

Town Meeting voted 77-40 in favor of Article 5, which provided raises for non-union employees. Voters also ap-proved Article 4, which in-volved union contracts.

Residents voted 78-69 in favor of Article 23, which in-creases longevity payments for non-union employees to match that offered to union workers. The change impacts 13 employees, Buckley said.

cess that they might not have known when they came into the meeting.”

Dodge did his homework leading up to his official de-but, and he encouraged town departments and boards to do the same. On Monday night, Dodge met with selectmen and the Advisory Committee for a dress rehearsal of sorts, going article by article to be sure ev-eryone was on the same page.

“I felt good,” Dodge said of running his first meeting. “You have a little bit of first-night jitters, but I thought it was well prepared.”

Dodge also was pleased with the turnout. A total of 285 voters checked in Tuesday night (well over the required quorum of 150). It was the town’s highest turnout for a special meeting for quite some time, he said.

While at the podium, Dodge thanked those who

helped him prepare for the job, including Walsh and Hanson moderator Charlie Mann, as well as Dodge’s mother, El-sie Dodge, who stuck it out through the lengthy meeting (though possibly because “she couldn’t get a ride home from anyone else,” Dodge joked).

Advisory chairman Matt

McNeilly also thought the meeting ran well, though his board lost a few battles.

“The meeting on a whole went fine,” he said. “We didn’t get all the decisions the way we wanted — the town employees will get their increases, and we’ll move on from there. But Steve did an excellent job.”

Below is a summary of action taken at the special Town Meeting on Tues-day, Nov. 3:

Article 1: Voters authorized the town to bor-row a total of $315,000 to purchase equipment and make repairs on town buildings.

Article 2: Voters agreed to indefinitely post-pone an article to transfer money for unpaid bills because there were no unpaid bills.

Article 3: Voters authorized the town to transfer $23,063 in surplus money to pay for fire department overtime and $28,320 to pay for spe-cial elections.

Article 4: Residents voted to give police, clerical and Department of Public Works union employees a 1.5 percent salary increase for one year.

Article 5: Residents voted 77-40 in favor of giving non-union town employees a 1.5 percent salary increase for one year.

Article 6: Voters approved a transfer of money to fund separation pay benefits.

Article 7: Voters authorized the town to spend $621,855 in surplus money to pay for the snow and ice removal deficit and $124,369 to cover additional deficits in the budget.

Article 8: Voters agreed to place $25,000 in the town’s stabilization, or “rainy day,” fund.

Article 9: Voters authorized the town to bor-row up to $200,000 through a program that fa-cilitates low-interest loans for residents to repair, replace or upgrade their septic systems to meet state and federal requirements. (This article was actually approved at the annual Town Meeting in April but needed a confirmed two-thirds vote, which was not documented at that meeting.)

Article 10: Voters approved the purchase of $7,900 in geographic information system software for the assessors’ office. The software comes with a $1,500 annual support fee to up-date maps and receive technical support.

Article 11: Voters agreed to place $21,810.85, received through a lawsuit with petroleum companies, into a special stabiliza-tion fund created at the spring meeting. Before adding this amount, the fund had a balance of $788,810, according to the town accountant.

Article 12: Voters agreed to indefinitely postpone a transfer to pay the remaining salary of the assistant to the recreation director because the action no longer is needed.

Articles 13-15: Voters agreed to accept Edward Drive, Rebecca Road, Deerfield Lane, Great Rock Road and Pratt Farm Lane as town roadways, to be maintained by the town.

Article 16: Voters agreed to pass over a pro-

posed zoning bylaw that would have set rules for where a body art business could go. The is-sue will be returned to the Planning Board for another public hearing, after proponents decided to expand the zone outlined in the bylaw. An amended version could go before voters at the next annual Town Meeting.

Article 17: Voters approved a change to the sign bylaw that gives the town building inspec-tors, rather than the Board of Selectmen, the au-thority to approve or reject sign permits.

Article 18: Voters approved all eight proj-ects for Community Preservation Act funding.

Article 19: Voters authorized the town to enter into a lease agreement for a cell phone tower on the Birch Street Park property and to file special legislation if required under statute.

Article 20: Voters authorized the Depart-ment of Public Works to spend $200,000 from water revenues to pay for exterior and interior painting of the West Elm Street water tank.

Article 21: Voters authorized the town to borrow up to $120,000 to install lights at the Pembroke High School turf field, to be paid for through rental fees and gate receipts.

Article 22: Voters approved the Board of Health’s plan to reduce solid waste disposal costs by $25,000 this year by reducing a contracted service. The change will partially make up an estimated $75,000 deficit. The remaining money could come from an increase in solid waste dis-posal fees by about $25 to $30 per household. The board has not yet voted on any increase.

Article 23: Voters voted 78-69 in favor of increasing longevity payments for non-union town employees so that they are at the level of those offered to union employees.

Article 24: Voters rejected an article that would have authorized selectmen to sell or do-nate a one-acre lot on Pelham Street to a non-profit group like Habitat for Humanity.

Article 25: Voters rejected a bylaw that would have prohibited individuals from video taping someone else’s private property.

Article 26: Voters authorized the town to borrow up to $806,342 to complete the Mat-takeesett Municipal Athletic Fields complex. Town Administrator Ed Thorne has applied for a $500,000 state parks grant and has proposed that the remaining funds come from a lease agree-ment with T-Mobile for a tower to be built near Birch Street Park.

Article 27: Voters authorized the town to borrow $95,000 to make the final payment for the construction of North Pembroke Elementary School.

Special Town Meeting voting results



secured an assessment of the site, about $192,000. In Sep-tember, selectmen declared the lot as “surplus” property. The next step was an article on Tuesday’s special Town Meeting warrant authorizing selectmen to put the property out to bid for affordable hous-ing purposes.

Wilson was hoping to award the property to a group like Habitat for Humanity, which could construct a house there and sell it to a family for less than mar-ket price, with a 25- to 30-year mortgage at no interest.

Selectmen and Advisory C o m m i t t e e members spoke in favor of the article, but sev-eral neighbors were against it.

P e l h a m Street resident Mike Domaszewicz repeated concerns he had expressed at last week’s selectmen’s meet-ing, saying he had seen the endangered eastern box turtle living and laying eggs on the property.

He also felt selectmen did not have the authority to give away the land. The Pelham Street parcel was one of 21 properties that Town Meeting voters chose to place into con-servation in 2001. An amend-ment to that article, however, made the action “subject to the Board of Selectmen releasing them.”

The board chose not to release several of the larger properties, including two par-cels on Pelham Street.

Domaszewicz said he had brought his concerns about the endangered species habitat to the state and was waiting to hear back.

“There’s very little open space in the town and a lot of private land owners are carv-ing up whatever’s left and putting it into construction,” Domaszewicz said. “I think it would be shameful for the town to do the same thing.”

Another Pelham Street resident, Gail Clougherty, said she also felt the lot, which borders a 19-acre town-owned parcel along with other unde-

veloped private lots, should be protected.

“It offends me when we talk about ‘surplus’ and ‘win-ners’ when we’re talking about giving away parts of Pembroke that we can never replace,” she said. “We all have tight bud-gets right now, but you don’t give away things in your bud-get that you can never get back, and that’s what that land is.”

Resident Bob DeMarzo said the town should be look-ing to help sell existing homes during a tight economy rather than building new.

“There are plenty of hous-es out there that are affordable that are for sale right now,” he said.

Conservation Commission member Mark Ames said the Housing Authority was cur-rently sitting on two afford-able homes that they had been unable to rent out.

“They’re open and wait-ing to be filled, and the cost of doing so would be approxi-mately $400 a month, which is considerably less than what Mr. Wilson is proposing,” Ames said.

However, Wilson said on Wednesday that rental units did not offer the same oppor-tunity.

“There’s a vast difference between paying rent and own-ing a house,” he said.

Hilary Wilson, above, speaks in favor of giv-ing selectmen the authority to sell or donate a one-acre lot on Pelham Street* to a nonprofit group for an affordable housing proj-ect. The article failed Tuesday.

If you’ve ever won-dered how many seeds are in a pumpkin and

where they grow, or pondered a pumpkin’s buoyancy, try asking a seventh grader.

Students at Pembroke Community Middle School explored this seasonal fruit during the aptly named Pump-kin Day on Friday, Oct. 30. They made hypotheses about their brightly colored subjects and then dissected them to discover the answers.

“Pumpkin Day is a day where we incorporate the math and science curriculum togeth-er,” science teacher Maureen Leonido said. “They started in math class where they had to measure the circumference of their pumpkins, the diameter, the radius. They had to take the weight of the pumpkin and then had to convert it into ki-lograms and then grams. And ultimately we’re going to be calculating the density.”

Students brought in their own pumpkins or shared with a friend.

Earlier in the week, they predicted whether their pump-kins would float, then did an experiment to find out.

In math class, the sev-enth graders wrapped strings around the pumpkins and did various calculations to deter-mine their size. Across the hallway in the science lab, the scent of pumpkin pulp was strong as students got down to the guts.

“It’s fun — and so gooey,” said seventh grader Taylor Godfrey as she pulled out a handful of pumpkin insides.

Classmate Brittney Flood said dissecting the pumpkin was her favorite part of the lesson.

Once inside, the kids counted the seeds and ob-served how the seeds were growing.

“We think that seeds grow on the inner creases of the pumpkin,” seventh grader Kellie Cannone hypothesized.

Two tables over, classmate Aidan Smith and lab partner Joey Taylor also had made that guess, but science seemed to prove otherwise.

“At first, we thought the seeds grew on the sides of the pumpkin, but we discovered it’s just on the bottom,” Smith said.

The boys also underesti-mated just how many seeds were inside.

“We guessed 250, but we got 440,” Taylor said, holding up a bag full.

It was the fifth year that the PCMS team has held Pumpkin Day.

“They look forward to it,” Leonido said of her students. “They seem to have fun.”

The project bridges two units of study.

“We’re about to start the unit on living things, so we’ll

talk about seeds and plants and other living things,” Le-onido said. “We did a metric unit around National Metric Week, the week of Oct. 10, so we’ve been working with met-ric measurements and looking at mass and density.”

Residents defeated a pro-posed “Peeping Tom” bylaw that would have prohibited people from video taping an-other person’s private prop-erty, saying the law was too vague and infringed on citi-zens’ rights.

The bylaw, Article 25, was proposed by Selectman Arthur Boyle on behalf of a resident, John

Abusheery of Center Street.On Tuesday, Abusheery

explained his intent, saying the law would protect resi-dents, particularly young chil-dren, from being filmed by Level 2 and 3 sex offenders, those who might want to scam elderly people and other “bad guys.”

“This law, if it becomes a law, is directed at the bad guys, not law-abiding people,” Abusheery said. “This article is for the bad guys — the ones that go out and hurt people and do deliberate criminal actions, not against good people like yourselves.”

But several residents said the law would impact them.

“I am one that has been af-fected by a theft in my home, and I do have video surveil-lance,” resident Stan Carita said. “I am one of the good people, and I was affected. I do not [support] this bylaw, because it will affect how I video my own property.”

Resident Libby Bates questioned whether the law, which states that “no surveil-lance equipment shall be al-

lowed on a public street for the purpose of filming … a private residence without the permis-sion of the owner” would pre-vent someone filming a docu-mentary about Pembroke from driving down the street and getting shots of the town.

Resident Matt McNeilly questioned whether the bylaw would deter someone from capturing a crime, such as a neighborhood break-in, on tape and showing it to police.

“I understand that we need to have people not look-ing into each other’s windows with cameras, but it seems to me that we’re going to create a whole law to stop one in-stance,” McNeilly said.

Abusheery did not men-tion any specific incidents that led him to suggest the bylaw, though Boyle said the pro-posal was brought to him by someone with a problem the town couldn’t enforce.

Resident Becky Colletta also mentioned how recording something could help catch a criminal, referring to a cli-ent who had caught on tape a neighbor “exposing himself” in public to document an on-going problem and enable po-lice to address it.

Selectman Don Anderson said he felt it was “bad govern-ment” to create a bylaw over “two neighbors feuding.”

Resident Doc Iacobucci said if the bylaw intended to focus on sexual predators or other “bad guys,” it should say so in the language.

“Let’s defeat this now, and the proponents can tune it up and bring it back later,” he said.

Voters reject video bylaw‘Peeping Tom’ ordinance called broad, simply ‘bad government’

Nominees will be accept-ed for the next three weeks. We will select three finalists and then choose one Citizen of the Year from among them. Nominations should include

your name, any connection to the nominee and reasons why this

person is special. Please be as specific

as you can and include as much information as

you know. Your submissions

will be kept con-fidential. Send all

Do you support giving town employees a 1.5 percent raise this year?

T he powers not dele-gated to the United States by the Con-

stitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

This is the 10th Amend-ment to the Constitution and has been the Supreme Law of the Land since Dec. 15, 1791. Yet it has been forgot-ten and ignored by many a Congress and presidential ad-ministration — Democrat and Republican. In the last year, we have seen the attempted nationalization of the finan-cial industry, the continued move toward nationalizing the health care industries, a blatant refusal in Congress to let its members actually read the legislation they are being asked to pass, and a refusal to release full context of legis-lation to the people. Yes, the attempted interference in the financial industry started with bailouts, but it has continued and includes companies that never received money or have paid it back. This bailout alone was a move to further interfere in these industries and encour-age a dependency on govern-ment.

The administration is at-tacking media outlets that do not agree with them, restrict-ing their access in the White House. They continue to push a “Fairness Doctrine” that is nothing more than regulation that allows the government to control what is on the airwaves — a blatant disregard of the First Amendment. These ac-tions are an assault by the fed-eral government on the very rights reserved to the states

and the people under the 10th Amendment. These actions are the want of an administration and a Congress determined to spread the tentacles of govern-ment where the people have not allowed it to go for over 233 years. This is an overt dis-regard of the 10th Amendment and the spirit of freedom this nation was founded upon.

Senator Reid and Speaker Pelosi are so desperate to na-tionalize the health care in-dustry that they have resorted to absolute distortion and fabrication in the face of the American people. Congress-men have been instructed to not hold further town hall meetings and not engage their constituents. Neither branch of Congress has been straight about costs or establishment of their “public option.”

My opposition to the Obama administration and the radical left elements of Con-gress are the result of a deep belief in the Republic and the Constitution. Not even I thought it would only take a year to begin to chip away at the foundation of this nation. We must stand up and watch this Congress with a very skeptical eye. We cannot al-low the complete disregard of our Constitution. Become en-gaged, became outraged and let your representatives know. It is time to drop the labels of Democrat or Republican and pick up the label of Patriot. Our nation and the very foun-dation on which it has been formed are under attack. Stand up, get involved and tell this Congress: “Enough.”

Patrick ChilcottFour Winds Drive

Terry Sprague Four Winds Drive

“Let’s hold off until the economy improves. I don’t think anybody is getting a raise in any business.”

David Bonneau Wintergreen Farm Road

“The town should wait because a raise in salary would just make

everything more expensive for the citizens of Pembroke.”

Katherine Goodman Ladyslipper Circle

“No, I do not agree with this. The town should keep things the way they are now because state

funding could decrease.”

James Baillie Valley Street

“Because of potential future lay-offs of other employees, I agree

that they should give the raise for the current employees because they will have to handle the ad-ditional workload of those who

might be laid off.”

Lisa McLaughlin Four Winds Drive

“I think that the town should hold off, because everyone is feeling

the economic crunch.”

A message to congress: enough

Knights of columbus host special Halloween partyThe Pembroke

Knights of Colum-bus, with help from

the Hanson and Rockland and Tri-Town Rotary clubs hosted their first special needs Hal-loween costume party on Sun-day, Nov. 1.

The event stemmed from another event started two years ago: a special needs prom for the kids and young adults of

the communities.“We felt that there is not

enough being done for the special needs kids and the young adults in our commu-nity,” Grand Knight Kevin McKenna said.

With special needs chil-dren of their own, McKenna and his wife Hope have a par-ticular interest in meeting the needs of these young people.

On Sunday, everyone danced the night away with

their family and friends, en-joying food provided by Long-horn Steakhouse and music provided by Tom Connolly, a member of the Abington Knights of Columbus council.

About 150 special needs children and adults enjoyed a full four hours with their fam-ily and friends on the dance floor. A fully decorated hall of spiderwebs and pumpkins set the mood for a night of thrill-ing and monster-mashing.

Dancers at the Knights of Columbus’ Halloween party on Nov. 1 line up to do the Cha Cha Slide.

It was historical building projects rather than affordable housing plans that got close scrutiny Tuesday night, as vot-ers questioned whether tax-payer money should be used for buildings not owned by the town and those that have reli-gious significance.

ultimately, voters ap-proved eight articles total-ing $171,500 for Pembroke’s second round of Community Preservation Act funding.

Article 18 was the first to come up at the special Town Meeting, and it took an hour to debate and

vote on each of the projects.After presentations from

Housing Authority Executive Director Kathy Pagliuca and Affordable Housing Commit-tee chairman Hilary Wilson, voters easily approved requests for automatic door openers at senior apartment buildings ($46,000) and a contracted af-fordable housing consultant ($20,000). Both projects failed last fall.

Voters also had no prob-lems OK’ing a $10,000 deed restriction for the Andruk Bog property on Mattakeesett Street, which was purchased through a combination of CPA funds and state grant money.

They did, however, have a few questions about historical building projects.

Resident Jim Haviland said he felt the Community Preservation Committee was focused too much on religious buildings, such as the Friends Meeting House at the corner of Routes 53 and 139 (It was up for $20,000 to help with re-pairs).

“The fact is, the town has already spent well over $100,000 on this particular building, and, I regret to say,

its appearance remains dis-mal,” Haviland said. “Rarely if ever do I see anything there. I don’t think the Pembroke taxpayers should be solely re-sponsible for the upkeep of a religious organization.”

Project supporters said the building does not promote a religion and is an important Pembroke landmark.

“It is the most important historic building in town,” Bates said of the meeting-house. “It is the oldest Quaker meetinghouse in Massachu-setts. It is the third oldest Quaker meetinghouse in the united States.”

Though the building is owned by the Pembroke His-torical Society, Bates pointed out that a section of the deed maintained that if the society could no longer take care of it, care would fall to the town anyway.

Haviland had a similar viewpoint about a request for $25,000 for repairs to the La-dies’ Sewing Circle Associa-tion building on Center Street, which is owned and main-tained by First Church.

First Church pastor Rick Giragosian pointed out the building’s historical signifi-cance, such as the fact that women were meeting there be-fore they had the right to vote.

“Whether we’re a religious

organization or not, we’re all stewards of the town’s his-tory,” he said.

The Advisory Committee also recommended that voters not approve funding for the Ladies’ Sewing Circle Asso-ciation building, as well as for the East Pembroke Commu-nity Club building on Taylor Street, because neither build-ing is owned by the town.

Again, supporters talked about the buildings’ impor-tance to Pembroke.

“The building has been in town for 100 years,” said one woman who helps run the thrift shop at the Ladies’ Sewing Circle building. “The ladies who owned that build-ing turned the money they made back to the town. They built things and put things in place that are still there, like the fence around the Center Cemetery.”

Linda Porazzo of the East Pembroke Community Club said the club had worked to preserve the town’s last one-room schoolhouse without be-ing a drain on taxpayers.

“We have been trying our darnedest to maintain the structure, because it is a very historic building,” she said. “We have a lot of fundraisers and things, but lately money’s been kind of scarce.”

Voters OK’d $7,500 to re-place the building’s roof. They also approved $18,000 to pur-chase a climate control system at the Historical Society Mu-seum and $25,000 to replace vinyl siding with clapboard at the Lydia Drake Library.

The Community Preserva-tion Act funding comes from a 1 percent surcharge on prop-erty taxes and can be spent in three areas: Community hous-ing, historical preservation and recreation or purchase of open space properties. Each year, at least 10 percent of the funds must be designated for each of the three purposes.

Voters: Should cPA funds aid private, religious buildings? Despite questions, all eight projects get approval

SEPARATION OF CHURCH, CPA? One resident said he felt the Community Preservation Committee focused too much on religious buildings, such as the Friends (Quaker) Meeting House, above. The project got voters’ approval on Tuesday.FALL

Military Support Group preparing holiday boxes


chunkin’ for charityphotos By Becca Manning

Now in its seventh year, the Pumpkin Chunkin for charity event is an annual tradition for the Wintergreen Farm Road neighborhood. Giving their Halloween costumes one final showing, the neighborhood children

and their friends and family brought their sagging Jack-o’-Lanterns to launch into the air with a hand-built catapult. They also brought food to donate to the Pembroke Food Pantry and books to help the Military Support Group as they prepare holiday care packages to send to soldiers overseas. As chief Pumpkin Chunk-er Matt Nor-ton says, even the squirrels win.

Pembroke boys prep for playoffsTitans lose to Brockton on senior

night, get set for postseasonBy Dave Palana, SPortS eDitor

[email protected]

After clinching a spot in the MIAA tournament with a 2-1 win over Randolph on Oct. 29, the Pembroke boys soccer team ended their regu-lar season with a 3-1 loss to Brockton at the high school.

While the score may look similar to the Titans’ 4-0 loss to the Boxers in their first game of the season, Pembroke head coach George Stagno said it was a much different game the second time around.

“We were down 4-0 in the first half [last time],” he said. “It was a good match for the tournament and how we do under pressure.”

The Titans were over-matched by the Boxers in their first meeting, with Brockton’s forwards breaking past the de-fense repeatedly while Pem-broke had few quality scoring chances. The Boxers carried the play again in the rematch, but the Titans’ defense was much tighter and made Brock-ton’s forwards work hard for their chances.

The Titans did have one lapse on defense early in the first half that allowed a Brockton forward to go in for

a breakaway on keeper Ryan Kulik and score their first goal 10 minutes into the game.

The Boxers stayed on the offensive for most of the first half, but Pembroke started to show signs of life offen-sively near the halfway point. The Titans had a chance to tie the game with 16:30 left after Chris Horn was tackled deep on the Brockton end, but Horn’s shot off Tim Cul-lity’s penalty kick hit the top of the net and bounced out of bounds.

The Boxers added an in-surance goal with less than two minutes to play after Ku-lik punched away a corner kick, but the defense couldn’t clear out the rebound before another Brockton player got a shot off into the net.

The two teams played evenly at the start of the sec-ond half, but Brockton added a third goal on a one-timer off a crossing pass with 26 min-utes to play.

The Titans kept work-ing hard to move the ball up field. They were rewarded for their efforts when Matt Butler outran the Boxer defense to a rebound off a Cullity shot and sent it past Brockton’s keeper for the team’s lone goal.

“These guys are going to the Division I tournament and they’re going to go deep, but we had them on the ropes in the second half,” Stagno said. “The skill level on that team is really unbelievable, but over-all we played much better.”

While Stagno was happy with the effort from his team against the powerhouse Box-ers, he said the game also forced him to rethink his rota-tions during the MIAA tourna-ment.

“I learned some things to-day about some of the guys who give up,” he said.

The Titans qualified by beating the Randolph Blue Devils 2-1, but the win came at a heavy price as captain and leading scorer Chris Savoia went down with a leg injury. Savoia watched Friday’s game from the bench, where Stagno says he will probably stay for the postseason.

“He’s got a real tough in-jury,” Stagno said. “He’s go-ing to be limping for weeks, so I don’t think he’ll be back.”

Savoia, along with Cul-lity, Kulik, Teddy Cosby, Matt Glancy, Pat Sepeck, Evan Sal-vatore and Matt Negus, also participated in the annual se-nior day prior to the Brockton game, where seniors present-ed their parents with flowers as a token of gratitude. Stagno said, while this year’s class, as a whole may not have had all the natural ability of the two previous classes, he said they are among the hardest workers to come through the program.

“Soccer-wise, they’re not as skillful as the teams I’ve had before, but they have learned to play as a team,” he said. “I’ve been with these kids for four years; they are a great bunch of kids.”

The Pembroke volleyball team wanted to head into the MIAA tournament with a little bit of momentum, but North Quincy had other plans.

The Red Raiders pulled away from the Titans with a dominant second set and hand-ed the Titans a 3-0 loss in their final regular season game at the high school Monday night.

Pembroke beat North Quincy 3-1 on Oct. 21, but head coach Scott Turley said it was a different Red Raider team that showed up to the high school Monday.

“They played much better and we didn’t play as well,” he said. “The game we played at North Quincy was probably our best game of the year. To-night we didn’t execute as well as we should have, and North Quincy took advantage.”

The Titans kept pace with the Raiders in the first set, until North Quincy gave themselves a four-point cushion on their way to a 25-21 win. But North Quincy opened the second set with a 10-0 run and won the match 25-9.

“That was just too big of a hole for anyone to crawl out of,” Turley said. “They had a real good server at the line to start with, and we just couldn’t handle the pass.”

Lisa Higgins came off the bench to score five points on

three kills in the second set for the Titans, but Turley said it was too little, too late for his team.

“We had some nice plays, and the girls played well, but the execution down the stretch killed us,” he said. “We’d make a nice pass or a nice set and then miss the hit, or make a nice pass and the set isn’t there. We just couldn’t ex-ecute.”

The Raiders picked up where they left off at the start of the third set with a six-point run to start. Through the Titans battled back and cut the lead to two on several occasions, they could not catch North Quincy in a loss that ended the game.

Pembroke opened the game with their annual senior night celebration. Pembroke seniors Berkeley Hall, Brittany Maz-zola, Erin Scroggins, Kather-ine Spaulding and Sarah Winn each gave flowers to the North Quincy seniors before greeting their parents to a round of ap-plause from the fans.

While Turley said this year’s senior class will be tough enough to replace on the court, he said their work ethic and character is almost irre-placeable.

“They are tremendous girls,” he said. “This group of seniors are talented and have been great at assimilating the freshman into the program and working hard with them on the floor and off the floor. They’re a terrific bunch of girls, and we’ll miss them quite a bit.”

Offensive woes continue Hanover shuts out football team for sixth straight loss


Brett Wheeler was able to do what the Titan offense as a whole could not – move the football.

The big Hanover run-ning back ran for two touch-downs and caught another one as the Indians shut out the Titans 32-0 at the high school on Friday night.

Wheeler rushed in from four yards out for the lone score of the first quarter and added a 17-yard touchdown run and a 54-yard touch-down catch on a pass from Matt Johnson to score all the points in the first half.

While Wheeler racked up the touchdowns, Pembroke head coach Bob Bancroft said the Titans’ problems on offense were the reason Pembroke lost the game.

The Titans managed only two first downs in the first half, and a fumble by quar-terback Luke Nagle set up Hanover’s first touchdown as the Indians took over at Pembroke’s 22-yard line.

“I know [Wheeler] had some scores, but we didn’t move the football offensive-ly at all,” Bancroft said. “We felt good about our offense going in, but we didn’t do much of anything right. At times, we looked uncoached, and I take responsibility for that.”

Nagle started his second straight game for the Titans and was under pressure most of the game from Hanover’s defense. The Indians line was in the backfield repeatedly, stuffing Pembroke’s running plays and sacking Nagle on passing downs.

“They had a nose man I don’t think we blocked all night long,” Bancroft said. “We have a young kid, a sophomore, back there, and it’s hard for him when he doesn’t have a lot of time. He made some mistakes, but you’ve got to expect better protection.”

The defense stopped Wheeler on fourth down inside their own 20-yard line on the first series of the game, but they couldn’t stop him after the fumble gave the Indians a short field.

Hanover added two more touchdowns in the second half on runs by Johnson and

Nick Goba, but Bancroft said it was the 54-yard pass from Johnson to Wheeler in the second half that was a game-breaker for the Titans.

“We gave up a really easy swing pass,” he said. “We didn’t do things that we did well all week in practice, and that is the most disap-pointing thing.”

The Titans will try to right the ship in Middleboro on Friday against a Sachems team that is also struggling. The Sachems got their only win of the season against Randolph on Oct. 23, but struggled in a 37-12 loss to Rockland on Friday.

“They are having a dif-ficult season, but we can’t take anyone for granted at this point,” Bancroft said. “We’ve worked hard and no one wanted to put in all that time and effort and not get at least one more win.”

For those of you who are unaware, Abington High School running back Dan Curtin lost his helmet when 17-year old James LaShoto of Arlington

Catholic tackled him during their game last week. LaShoto, with his helmet still on, then head-butted Cur-tin while he was on top of the Abing-ton running back and is now facing criminal charges for assault. Curtin suffered two lacerations and appar-ently has a very nasty bump on his head, but thankfully no concussion.

LaShoto is an honor student and captain of the Arlington Catholic team, and in a video filmed by Abing-ton Public Access, he clearly pushes Curtin’s helmet away, grabs him by

the shoulders, pulls him into a head butt and then strolls back to his huddle like he did nothing wrong. The video has since made its way across the Internet.

I have absolutely no inclination whatsoever in being le-nient on this kid based on the fact that he is in the National Honor Society — being smart doesn’t make you any less responsible. But I am of the opinion that whatever hap-pens on the field or court between two players that doesn’t involve a weapon should not make its way to court.

If this kid is found guilty of the misdemeanor assault charge, it is going to kill his college applications and impact his entire future. To me, that punishment doesn’t fit the crime. Suspension for the rest of the fall sports season, or maybe even the entire school year of sports, should be enough. However, LaShoto only got two games, which is something the MIAA needs to look into.

But as someone who has been to high school football games every Friday night for the last three falls, I take tremendous issue with Frank McGee, the attorney for the Curtin family, who said the following: “This case suggests a broader issue. High school football is mimicking the NFL and becoming more and more violent every week.”

Everything in this statement is wrong. I have seen a lot of stupid things in my time covering

high school footbal, but I have never seen a punch, an eye gouge, a deliberately cheap tackle or even a real fight, and I have always seen the handshake.

The reason this case is an issue is because it doesn’t normally happen. Last Friday alone, 182 teams played high school football, and this was the only problem of its kind. Which makes this head butt less a “broader issue” and more a single act of idiocy by a single idiot.

Second, the NFL is significantly less violent than it was in the 1970s and ‘80s. Shawn Merriman may be as big a moron as anyone who has ever put on a helmet, but he can’t stick his finger in the ear slot of a lineman like Dea-con Jones and, thanks to the “Brady Rule,” now can’t go low on a quarterback. The NFL protects its players better than it ever has, and the recent attention brought to concus-sions in football will also bring about better changes for years to come.

As far as high school football mimicking the NFL— and I don’t mean this to be in any way derogatory, high school football in Massachusetts is nothing at all like the NFL. Whatever James LaShoto may be like, he knows next year he won’t be playing for Nick Saban. If you want to see high school kids being pushed way too hard to be like the pros, Mr. McGee, I suggest you take a trip to central Texas.

I agree that the punishment for James LaShoto may be a little too lenient, but let’s not rush to generalizations about the future of high school football. The only thing that needs to change is that the MIAA needs to add a rule for gross misconduct with harsher penalties. High school football around here is still fun, and it is still fine, and what that kid did is bad enough without lessening the impact by painting him as the Gavrilo Princip of high school football.

A visit with boys soccer captain

Tim Cullity

The senior sweeper is co-captain of the boys soc-cer team and is hoping to lead them to their third consecutive appearance in the MIAA South

Sectional finals when the tournament starts next week. After soccer, Cullity will switch over to track before heading off to college in the fall. He shared his thoughts on…

… where he hopes to go to college. I’m re-ally leaning toward Keene State (in New Hamp-shire) and UMass Dartmouth. My cousin went to Keene State for soccer as well, and he said it was a really good school and he had a good time.

… what he hopes to do in school. I’m look-ing to go to college and study bio, and I’m hop-ing to play soccer in college. I really liked biol-ogy in high school and my teacher really got me into it. I’d love to be a doctor.

… how long he’s been playing soccer. I’ve been playing 11 years now. My dad put me on his youth team, and it was just a good time for me so I continued with it. I just really would like to play soccer next year and do well.

… his favorite soccer memory so far. Definitely my favorite soccer memory was last year in the semifinals [of the MIAA South Sectionals] when we beat Hanover. Through high school, that was our biggest rivalry.

… playing defense. It’s really my favorite position. Some people like the glory of scoring goals, but I like stop-ping goals.

… any other hobbies. Nah, not really. Sports is really my thing. [laughs].

… how the team will do in the tournament this sea-son. I’m not sure if we’ll make quite the run we have, but we have a decent chance to make a pretty good run again.

SENIOR MOMENTS

Dragons burst Titans’ bubblePembroke fails to qualify for tournament after loss to Duxbury


For the second time this season, the Duxbury Dragons beat the Pembroke girls soccer team by one goal off a corner kick in the final minutes. But the loss on Saturday at Dux-bury cost the Titans much more than the first one.

The Titans needed at least a tie to qualify for the MIAA tournament heading into Dux-bury. But Jen Moore one-timed a rebound past keeper Alex Davis with 10:37 left to play in the game to squash Pembroke’s playoff hopes in their last game of the season.

“It was a heartbreaker of a game obviously,” head coach Kara Connerty said. “We played one of our best games of the season I thought we game here ready to win, and it’s just too bad. “

Duxbury put pressure on

Davis throughout the second half, but the Pembroke keeper was up to the challenge, stop-ping a breakaway and making two other saves. Davis stepped up to bat the corner kick away from the scrum in front of the net, but the ball came right to Moore on the right side of the goal and she fired it straight into the net before Pembroke could get back in position.

The Titans tried to answer Moore’s goal with their season on the line, but Emily Brooks stopped Michelle Coate’s shot with four minutes left in the game, and the Titans could not get anther clean look at the goal.

Pembroke struggled to get shots despite carrying the play for most of the game. The Ti-tans had the Dragons on their heels for most of the first half, but they could not get clean looks inside the box and had to settle for long shots. Pem-broke made some nice runs into the Duxbury end in the second half as well, but again they struggled.

“The first half, we totally dominated. We just couldn’t finish,” Connerty said.

The Titans also did a nice job on defense containing Caitlyn Burke. Burke led the Patriot League in scoring this season with 27 goals and 16 assists, but she was a non-fac-tor in the game Saturday.

“Amanda Pugliese totally shut her down,” Connerty said.

The game was the last for seniors Brianna Larkin, Lau-ren Hanley, Teresa Fatemi, Cara Cahill, Kerry Gilliand and Colby Kupsc. Though the loss to the Dragons was not the way the senior class wanted to end their careers at Pembroke, Connerty said the group should be proud of what they have accomplished in their four years.

“Our captains were all true leaders on and off the field,” she said. “All six seniors dem-onstrated true leadership skills and we truly had a great senior class.”

Several residents could think of better ways to spend $800,000 than putting it to-ward completing the Matta-keesett Street ball fields, but they ultimately agreed to keep Pembroke at the table for a grant that could help pay for the project.

Voters au-thorized the town to borrow up to $806,342 to complete the project. Town Administrator

Ed Thorne has applied for a $500,000 state parks grant, but the state requires the town to first commit to the total cost of the project.

If Pembroke does not re-ceive the grant, officials said, the town would not move for-ward with the project at this time.

Though the fields are mostly completed, the area has issues with drainage and is largely unpaved. Eventually, the site will have parking for 200 vehicles and could allow Pembroke to host major tour-naments, Thorne said.

Recreation Commission chairman Greg Hanley has ap-plied to host the regional play-offs for American Legion Base-ball in 2013 and 2014, which he said could bring in upwards of half a million dollars per

year for the local economy.Recreation received per-

mission from the Conserva-tion Commission to work with cell phone company T-Mobile to install a tower on the Birch Street Park property. Lease of that property, estimated at about $30,000 per year, would be used to make up the remain-ing $300,000 for the project, if the town gets the state grant, Hanley said.

Some residents questioned whether that lease money could be used for other things. Advisory Committee chair-man Matt McNeilly said the town could not legally desig-nate money from one tower for a specific purpose.

Hanley said the purpose of Article 19, which concerns the T-Mobile lease, was to get permission to construct the tower and that a later article might address how to handle the funds.

“The bottom line is we’re trying not to impact the town,” he said. “The revenue stream that we all talk about that could be dedicated to other places isn’t necessarily there before us this evening in any other form other than recreation’s request to put it on park land that we control.”

Selectman Don Anderson said a “yes” vote would sim-ply allow the town to “keep a marker on the table” for the state grant.

“Who knows when the grant will go through … if we even get it,” he said. “In six months or so, it still falls back on this board [of selectmen]. If we needed the money for other things, that would be part of our consideration.”

Selectman Arthur Boyle also asked for the opportunity to move the project forward.

“This is actually a request for a little bit of faith and a little bit of trust in people in the community,” he said. “You need to trust us to maybe not take the last step when we find out the revenues are not avail-able or it’s going to be jobs versus ball fields.”

Resident Ken Queeney encouraged voters to consid-er the entire cost of the proj-ect because taxpayer money was still involved with a state grant.

“We are the state; we are paying for both sides of this funding,” he said. “So in look-ing at it, justify it based on the $800,000 price tag rather than the lesser version.”
