Though there are almost twice as many Democrats than Republicans registered in Pembroke, it was the GOP that had its say on Tuesday, as vot-ers overwhelmingly backed Republican candidates.

Statewide, however, vot-ers opted to keep

D e m o c r a t i c leaders, giv-ing Governor Deval Patrick

49 percent of the vote over

Republican Charlie Baker’s 42 percent and independent Tim Cahill’s 8 percent. Mas-sachusetts voters also re-elect-ed Attorney General Martha Coakley with 63 percent over Jim McKenna’s 37 percent

and elected Steve Grossman as treasurer with 55 percent over Karyn Polito’s 45 per-cent. They picked Democrat

Bill Keating to send to Con-gress, giving him 47 percent

Pembroke sees redLocal voters back Republican candidates; Democrats retain most seats statewide

WELCOME PARTY: Dan Webster supporters Moira Collins and sisters Olivia and Emma Wandell, all 13, wave at drivers passing the entrance to Town Hall, Precinct 1, on Tuesday.

TWO MORE YEARS: State Rep. Dan Webster shakes hands with supporter John Keller of Halifax during a victory party held at Oliveira’s Restaurant. Webster won his race against Democrat Josh Cutler, taking the most votes both town- and district-wide.


A few weeks before citi-zens cast votes for their state legislators, local voter Anna Wallace got a chance to see what it was like to sit on the other side of the desk.

The Duxbury resident, a senior aide at the Pembroke Council on Aging, represented Pembroke at the 65th annual Citizens’ Legislative Seminar held Oct. 19-20 at the State-house. On the second day, “Senator” Anna Wallace joined others in a mock legislative session where the citizens-turned-leaders debated several items, including a bill to ban

cell phone use while driving.Two days after the trip, Se-

lectman Lew Stone stopped by the senior center and remarked that Wallace was “still spar-kling” from the adventure.

“Every single soul at some point should have that feeling of pride and understanding about what really happens [at the Statehouse],” Wallace said. “We think they just get these ideas in their heads, but the clerk told us he gets over 800 petitions for bills every month, and he has a complete staff that are assigned each one of these.”

For someone whose business is receiving messages and inter-

preting signs, it’s not sur-prising that coincidence brought Kar-en Paolino to Pembroke.

After moving with her family to Pembroke, the yoga instructor and self-described angel messenger had been looking for a new studio near-by and found herself drawn to the 18th-century barn hous-

ing the Personal Best salon on Route 53. There was no “for lease” sign, but Paolino called anyway and left a message with the owner.

Meanwhile, she continued searching. During a table tip-ping session — in which angels and spirits spell out messages to participants by moving a three-legged table — Paolino asked her late sister where her new studio would be.

The table tapped out one word: Pembroke.

“I said, ‘Is it the building I’ve been driving by?’ and the

Correction: In the article “Forever Friends,” published in the Oct. 29 Pembroke Express, John D’Alessandro was misidentified as a Silver Lake graduate. He actually graduated from Quincy (though wife Joan claims he wishes he were a SLRH alumnus). Also, the maiden name of one the friends, Meredith (Bostock) Piscitelli, was misspelled.

Town Hall Halloween

The gals in the treasurer/collec-tor’s office donned matching pink wigs: Pat Cuneo, Shirley Crowley, Stephanie Callanan, Kathleen McCarthy and Jennifer Grasso.

Known for his unique costumes, Town Administrator Ed

Thorne didn’t disap-point in a cape, mask

and wizard’s hat.

Jeanne Gigliotti, Meghan Ricardo and Sue Jones (with pet Bunnzilla) looked ready to cast a spell in the assessors’ office.

Former selectman Hilary Wilson stopped by in his birth-day suit. Wilson celebrated his 71st birthday on Oct. 21.

Selectmen’s assistant Diane Tobin wore

her husband’s old Air Force uniform, while

Veterans’ Agent David McPhillips tried out a

new head of hair.

Town handy man Ziggy Cytrynowski looked like he had walked over from Plimoth Plantation.

Building Department employees Tracy Grady (left) — who looked like she had a killer headache — and Michele Dowling wore orange in celebration of Halloween last Friday. Many Town Hall employees got into the spirit with costumes.

For the second year, Pembroke’s Veter-ans Day ceremony

will be held at the entrance to the Veterans’ Commemorative Town Forest on School Street/Route 27 (next to Pembroke Community Middle School). The ceremony will begin at 11 a.m. on Thursday, Nov. 11.

First called Armistice Day, the holiday was estab-lished on Nov. 11, 1919 to commemorate the signing of the armistice ending World War I. The pact was signed in the 11th hour on the 11th day of the 11th month the year pri-or, in 1918. It became a legal federal holiday in 1938. After World War II and the Korean War, Armistice Day became Veterans Day, a holiday dedi-cated to American veterans of all wars.

The ceremony on Thurs-day will feature speakers and music by the Pembroke High School choir. American Legion Arthur Briggs Church Post 143 will provide refreshments in the middle school cafeteria following the ceremony. In the event of inclement weather, the ceremony will be held in the middle school (school will not be in session that day). All citizens are invited to attend the ceremony to honor Pem-broke’s veterans.

Parking is available at the

middle school, with limited handicapped parking near the ceremony site.

At Monday’s selectmen’s meeting, Army National Guard Capt. Sean Keegan read a Vet-erans Day proclamation from the governor. Keegan also was appointed to the Town Memo-rial Committee.

Each year, the committee attends a Veterans Day ser-vice at a different Pembroke church. This year, the commit-tee will attend the 9 a.m. Mass at St. Thecla Catholic Church.

Man turns himself in for pharmacy robbery

A man accused of holding up CVS Phar-macy in Pembroke Center last Friday and mak-ing off with about 100 oxycodone pills turned himself in on Monday, police said.

John Mann, 30, of Victoria Lane, had been charged with armed robbery and larceny of drugs after store employees identified him as the robber, but police were unable to find him at his home over the weekend, according to Pembroke Police Lt. Mike Jenness.

“On Monday morning, he walked in around noon to surrender,” Jenness said of Mann.

Mann allegedly entered the store on Friday, Oct. 29 around 9:28 a.m. and approached the pharmacist.

“He waited until the coast was clear and then he pointed to his waistband and said, ‘I have a gun and I want all your perc 30s,’” Jen-ness said. “Perc 30” is the street name for 30-mg. oxycodone tablets.

It is unclear whether Mann actually had a gun, Jenness said.

The pharmacy employee went to the safe and returned with two bottles containing 100 pills each and one containing 50 pills. Mann re-portedly grabbed the middle bottle containing 100 pills and left the store.

“The man turned around and walked out the front door and was on foot heading toward Mattakeesett Street,” Jenness said.

Police were able to identify Mann after talking to employees who had seen him come in the store previously, Jenness said. A warrant was issued for his arrest, and police came by his home several times over the weekend to pick him up but were unsuccessful.

Mann pled not guilty to the charges Mon-day in Plymouth District Court.

Trooper helps stop alleged drug deal

Two men are facing drug charges after an off-duty state trooper interrupted an alleged drug deal outside one of the men’s homes on Lowell Road.

A trooper who works with the state’s Crime Prevention and Control Unit told police he had seen his neighbor, Brady

R. Wigman, 19, of Lowell Road make what appeared to be drug transactions several times outside his home. A vehicle would pull up and he would come out and reach inside the vehicle to exchange items, according to reports.

On Saturday afternoon, the trooper ap-proached Wigman while he was in the middle of one of these transactions and flashed his badge. Wigman remained, but the driver of the vehicle that had pulled up to Wigman’s home took off. The trooper, who had his arm inside the vehi-cle, had to run a bit to avoid being dragged, ac-cording to police reports. He was able to get the license plate number.

Pembroke officers later stopped a vehicle matching the description on Cyril Avenue and arrested the driver, Rocco T. DeVincent, 21, of Kings Terrace. DeVincent reportedly handed over a plastic baggie containing eight white pills that later were identified as 30-mg. oxy-codone. DeVincent was charged with posses-sion to distribute a Class D drug, assault and battery with a dangerous weapon (the vehicle), resisting arrest, possession of a Class B drug and conspiracy to violate the drug law.

Wigman was found with a small amount of marijuana, according to police reports. It was not enough to be charged with possession under the state law, but because of the trooper’s ob-servations, Wigman was charged with posses-sion to distribute a Class D drug and conspiracy to violate the drug law.

I attended a small, all-girl high school in South Boston, graduat-ing in a class of 35. For the past

year or so, I set about with three fellow classmates to plan our 50th reunion cel-ebration. Our small class was scattered hither and yon, but with a little perse-verance we found the whereabouts of all. We decided to do it up big with an afternoon luncheon and a trip down memory lane. We had an old fash-ioned slumber party at the Marriott and breakfast the following morning before saying good-bye. I tried to have someone make us the old habit that the nuns were wearing back then. I thought it would be a great surprise! When all else failed I could hear my grandmother saying, “Beverly, where there is a will, there is a way.” With nothing to lose, I contacted the Motherhouse in Nazareth, Ky. and Sister Frances was kind enough to send me a habit on loan. At the reunion I donned the habit. While ringing that famous bell that all the nuns had in those days, I called the class to order. I then escorted the double line of classmates to the private room where our lunch was to be served. The habit set the mood for the event, and just like we did back in the good old days, we talked, laughed and told stories until we were hoarse. And now let’s see what’s going on around town.

BiG BiRD: Ching Puskarich recently returned from her annual trip to China to visit relatives and friends. This year, she took a trip to the Li River in Guanzxi, China where she watched the birds, known as cormorants, catch fish with great skill to provide dinner for local farmers. Ching was so intrigued with the process that she wanted to share a photo with the folks around town. As you can see, Ching was able to get up close and personal. Ching also made a visit to Shxjh, outside of Shanghai.

There’s still time to take advantage of an opportunity the federal government presented to all tax-payers in 2010 to help build tax-free income for retirement! Due to relaxed eligibility rules, anyone – regardless of their income level

- can enjoy the benefits of a Roth IRA by converting eligible retirement assets, like a traditional IRA or work-spon-sored 401(k), to this unique plan1.

A Roth IRA provides individuals with a way to access money tax-free dur-ing their retirement years. You’ll pay regular income taxes on the conver-sion amount up front, but then your assets gain the opportunity for tax-free growth and tax-free distributions in the

future2. Another benefit is that there is no mandatory dis-tribution age for Roth IRA owners, which means you can leave the money in the account to continue accumulating until you decide to take it. And if you want to leave a leg-acy for your heirs, this plan may provide a more efficient way to transfer your wealth.

Right now income tax rates are at historic lows. If you are able to wait at least 5 years before taking income from the account and you will be at least age 59½ upon making the withdrawals, anticipate a higher tax rate when you retire, or want to leave a legacy for your heirs, you should consid-er converting your retirement plan assets to a Roth IRA.

However, converting assets to a Roth IRA may not be right for everyone. As a financial professional, I can provide an-swers to your questions about this opportunity and pro-vide resources that may help you determine if a conversion will likely benefit you or your heirs.

If the with-drawal is made before the 5-year period or age 59½ , income taxes and a 10% IRS penalty tax may apply.

of the vote over Jeff Perry’s 42 percent (Independent Mary-anne Lewis came in third with 6 percent of the vote).

State Senator Therese Murray also held on to her seat in the Plymouth and Barn-stable District, with 52 percent of the vote over Republican Tom Keyes’ 48 percent. And Republican State Representa-tive Dan Webster, a Pembroke resident, was elected to a fifth term for the Sixth Plymouth District, taking 51 percent of the vote over Democrat Josh Cutler’s 49 percent. (Cutler is the former publisher of the Pembroke Express.)

In Pembroke, the numbers were vastly different in most races, with voters choosing Re-publican candidates for every seat except attorney general, secretary of state and Plymouth County Commissioner (Pem-broke resident Tim McMul-len, a Democrat, won the seat in town but lost countywide to Republican Sandra Wright).

Pembroke gave Baker 3,985 votes to Patrick’s 2,519; Polito 3,981 to Grossman’s 3,251; Perry 3,216 to Keat-ing’s 3,109; and Keyes 3,720 to Murray’s 3,527.

For Pembroke, it was one of the highest voter turn-outs in the past three years, at 64 percent. A total of 7,518 people voted, about 400 by absentee. By comparison, the January special state election drew 7,605, while the Novem-ber 2008 presidential election drew 9,564.

“I thought the turnout was great. I said it would be 8,000 and we’re at 7,500, so it wasn’t bad,” Town Clerk Mary Ann Smith said Tuesday night. “The day went very well. People do-ing signs knew they were to be 150 feet away. The checkers were fantastic. There were no problems. It was just a great day, all in all.”

A few people showed up to the polls only to find they weren’t registered. Smith said it was mostly a case of misun-derstanding — residents who had recently moved to town and didn’t realize they had to register again.

There also was some con-fusion over Pembroke’s two ballots, but Smith said people understood when she ex-plained that the town was split by Plymouth County districts. Pembroke voters rejected Ques-tion 4, which sought to create a Plymouth County Charter Committee, but countywide the measure passed by about 2,400 votes.

Both in Pembroke and statewide, voters passed Ques-tion 1, which exempted al-cohol from the state sales tax (overall, the measure passed 52 percent to 48 percent).

But local voters’ views on other ballot questions also didn’t match the state. Pem-broke voters passed Question

2 to repeal the affordable hous-ing law, with 3,879 yes to 3,304 no. Statewide, the measure fell, with 58 percent voting no.

The effort to reduce the state sales and use tax to 3 per-cent also failed statewide, with 57 percent voting no on Ques-tion 3. But in Pembroke, it passed, with 4,066 voting yes and 3,319 voting no.

The sales tax issue was one of the big decisions for several residents, including Precinct 3 voter Roberta Andrews.

“It’s too much now and it doesn’t need to be,” Andrews said after voting at Bryantville Elementary School. “There are other taxes they can get rev-enue from.”

But Precinct 5 voter Carol Dodge had the opposite view.

“If we lose the vote on sales tax, there would be a number of cuts in municipal employees. The general public does not realize what that will entail,” Dodge said. “My chil-dren’s school was closed with Proposition 2 1/2 [in 1981] and we were redistricted, so I know what cuts can do. It af-fected my children and my life immensely. I don’t like pay-ing taxes anymore than any-body else, but I do know how they’re used.”

Precinct 5 voter Denise Burnham said she felt voting was “crucial” this year.

“I’m not happy with the way the government’s going, and even though we’re Demo-crats, I wouldn’t vote against my own interests,” she said, adding that she was hoping for “a little bit of change.”

Once the polls were closed, supporters put down their signs and headed off to what they hoped would be a victory party for their candidate.

The Webster campaign cel-ebration at Oliveira’s Restau-rant was in full swing Tuesday night when local radio station WATD mistakenly reported that Cutler had won the race.

Supporters headed back to the town halls to double check the numbers before the math, and later the radio station, con-firmed Webster’s win.

“We were happy, and then quiet, and then ecstatic,” said Webster’s campaign manager Ginny Wandell.

Pembroke voters gave

Webster 4,026 votes over Cut-ler’s 3,324, though overall the race came down to 500 votes. The incumbent said he was not surprised it was close.

“I’m obviously very pleased about it. It was a tough race. Josh ran a good race,” he said. “I’ve always had tough races over the years. But I keep doing what I’ve done and what I’ve promised since the very beginning and I’m not going to change anything. I’m look-ing forward to going to Beacon Hill and representing the inter-ests of my constituents.”

At the Winsor House in Duxbury, the mood was more subdued, as Cutler thanked his supporters for a hard-fought campaign.

“We had a great effort and I’m very proud of it,” Cutler said in an interview broadcast on WATD. “I want to thank all of my supporters and also con-gratulations to Dan Webster. I’m sure he’ll do a great job for the next two years as our repre-sentative.”

When asked if politics were still in his future, Cutler said he was open to the idea.

“I certainly wouldn’t rule it out,” he said. “But for the next couple of weeks, I’m go-ing to focus on my wife, who is about to give birth to our sec-ond child.”

After months of walking through Pembroke, Duxbury, Hanson and Halifax knock-ing on doors and campaign-ing, Cutler had one more post-election plan.

“Tomorrow I’m going to buy a new pair of shoes,” he said.

Having worked in mental health care for 30 years and spoken before the U.S. Sen-ate in Washington, D.C. about nursing home reform, Wallace had lots to say at the seminar.

“There were things they brought up that I could give voice to, mainly because of the things I have taken away from people I have worked with who are low-income,” Wallace said. “i had five or six e-mails this past week from people who heard my presentation and bragged about it. I felt like a million dollars.”

COA Director Mary Willis said she thought immediately of Wallace when she was asked by Senator Therese Murray to send a Pembroke representa-tive to the seminar. Wallace is one of seven women hired within the past year through the Citizens For Citizens se-nior aide program, which is funded with state and federal money and aimed at training seniors to return to the work force. The women, in their late 70s and early 80s, work 20 hours a week at the senior cen-ter. Another woman — “just a kid” at 59, according to Willis — works at Town Hall.

The arrangement is de-signed to last two years, at which time the women could apply for jobs elsewhere or choose to stay on as volun-teers, Willis said.

When developing her aides’ job descriptions, Willis said she borrowed the philoso-phy of Mother Theresa, who said, “The best way to create an enemy is to give somebody something to do that they hate.” Instead, Mother Theresa asked volunteers to find a need that was not being met and make that their job.

“That’s how I found these people who are all so talented. I told them the same thing. I said, you just look around, see what needs to be done here, and you can pray a little bit about it, and then come to me with what you think needs to be done. I made that their job description,” Willis said. “And they have come up with things I would never have thought of.”

Senior aide Connie Ma-rano, who has a strong Italian heritage, launched a recipe swap (including tasty samples) and also leads a monthly movie discussion group and walking group four days a week with aide Alice Kenerson.

Wallace is drawing on her interest in state issues to help Willis review legislative bulle-tins and share information with senior residents.

“I’m kind of doing infor-mation referral, gathering up modern, up-to-date informa-tion with housing, transporta-tion, care giving and health re-form — everything that we can get updated on and we want to keep everybody aware of,” she said.

Aide Ruth Tierney is lead-ing a jewelry-making class and a monthly poetry group, which met last Tuesday for the sec-ond time.

“It started out as just be-ing a reading, and this week we were supposed to bring in our favorite poems, hopefully conducive to the weather and so on,” Tierney said. “From there, hopefully we’ll get into a little writing, do some haiku, do some doggerel. We were thinking we could put together a little book of poetry maybe at the end of the year with our favorite poems.”

At the gathering, Tierney read an autumn-themed poem by Indiana poet James Whit-comb Riley, “When the Frost is on the Punkin.”

Group member Skip Sci-acca read an original poem, “The Maiden,” while Wallace recited one of her own poems about friendship.

The aides are hoping their programs encourage residents to stop by the senior center.

“The main thing is con-vincing our seniors that they should come more often, get more involved,” Wallace said. “It’s helpful because it brings the people here. They’ll say, ‘oh I don’t want to go out to-day,’ and then they say, ‘but today’s movie day’ or ‘today’s recipe day,’ and they come.”

What state election race are you most interested in?

SENd itEmS for the opinion page to [email protected].

dEadliNE for all letters & commentaries is tuesday at noon.

The election has come and gone and many of us are glad it is finally over.

First, each of you reading this col-umn should give yourself a huge pat on the back. Over 7,500 people voted in our town on Tuesday; this turnout was much higher than expected. Our town clerk did a tremendous job on Tuesday, and if you see her around town you should let her know. She and the many poll workers gave us an elec-tion free of issues.

Our town made very clear choices: We want change. Pembroke voted for change in our governor, treasurer, state senator and audi-tor. We voted for lower taxes across the board and an end to 40B. Unfortunately, Pembroke, most of the county and state did not agree with us. Although our results did not mirror the state results, they did have many consistencies to the national mood. The election on Tuesday shows that the national electorate believes we are head-ing in the wrong direction and something needs to change. Tuesday’s results were a clear repudi-ation of the out-of-control spending, large gov-ernment and special deals of the last two years. The nation wants true change and believes a two-party government is a necessary check to protect the taxpayer.

Even here in Massachusetts there was a glimmer of a two-party system. Pembroke, you returned our current Republican state represen-tative, and 10 new districts around the state did the same thing. The voters here in Pembroke,

around the Commonwealth and the nation also made something else clear — partisan politics has to end. With both Republicans and Demo-crats having control over pieces of the government, they must work together. We need representatives focused on the good of our whole state or our whole country. We need to leave the letters R and D on the sidelines and begin to do what is best for the nation. To use, for the last time, the President’s metaphor: the car may be in the ditch and in

some real trouble, but for the car to get anywhere it needs to use both R and D — partisan divides must end and the new leaders in our government would be wise to heed this call.

There were signs right here in Pembroke that a new spirit of cooperation is among us — Matt York and I were working together to get the results for our candidates on Tuesday and laughing while holding Webster/Cutler signs throughout the day. I even heard a devious fa-mous Pembroke Democrat had littered my front lawn with Deval 2010 signs and I laughed be-fore I cringed; it never drove me to the Boyle-ing (spelling intended) point. While these things seem trivial, they show that here in Pembroke we have figured out what we as a nation have not. Although we disagree and will passionately help our candidates, we also know we are neigh-bors and many of us friends. Transforming the letters R and D to mean Respect and Dignity will benefit all of us, and our nation.

Pembroke voters have spoken

Veterans Day is ap-proaching on Nov. 11, a day that is not

only significant to veterans but to all Americans. Most Ameri-cans will fly the stars and stripes that day. The American flag represents freedom to all. The flag was designed to rep-resent the original 13 colonies by its 13 red and white stripes. The stars represent the 50 states.

Many Americans don’t re-alize the proper way to fly the American flag. i have a list of the dos and don’ts of flying the stars and stripes. Here is a guide for flying the American flag, courtesy of the Veterans of Foreign Wars:

• The flag should be hoist-ed briskly and lowered cer-emoniously.

• The flag is never allowed to touch the ground or the floor.

• When hung over a side-walk on a rope extending from a building to a pole, the union stars are always away from the building.

• When vertically hung over the center of the street,

the flag always has the union stars to the north in an east/west street and to the east in a north/south street.

• The flag of the United States should be at the center and at the highest point of the group when a number of flags of states or localities or pen-nants of societies are grouped and displayed from staffs.

• The flag should never be festooned, drawn back, nor up, in folds but always allowed to fall free.

• The flag should be dis-played at half-staff until noon on Memorial Day then raised to the top of the staff.

• Never fly the flag upside down except as a signal of dis-tress in instances of extreme danger to life or property.

• The flag is never flown in inclement weather except when using an all-weather flag.

• The flag can be flown every day from sunrise and at night if illuminated properly.

I have lived in this town for 12 years and for 12 years have tried to

reach leaders to recycle more.i first started with the Board

of Health. They were obvious-ly not interested in expanding it, saying, “No savings would be accomplished.” Then I was invited to a Solid Waste and Recycling Committee meet-ing to speak on the same sub-ject. There was no real interest in recycling to save money in town costs. Finally, when the Board of Selectmen took over the solid waste/recycling issue, I had hope that now real ac-complishment would happen.

As I observed from the last Town Meeting, we are no clos-

er to having any real interest in saving the earth or money. A year ago, the Patriot Ledger showed us that we were next to last (with only Hull below us) in recycling, only 11 percent. Another recent story said that we paid more than any town at $100/ton to move our trash to Rochester. A new selectman led the control of their think-ing on this matter. So much for new blood. They put down all the comments of those in favor of saving and recycling.

What really got me was when a good suggestion of buying two compactors to save more costs in recycling was met head on with comments like “what if the vote on Nov.

2 to roll back the sales tax passes.” They had just tried to pass about $4.5 million in rec-ommended spending without any comment of such. Those unnecessary needs included $800,000 to pave the ball field parking lots.

I don’t care how we expand recycling to save solid waste costs. But in my opinion, pay-as-you-throw is the only thing that will motivate citizens to separate their trash. At Town Meeting, what was repeated over and over was that pay-as-you-throw was the fairest way to spread the costs to the true disposers of solid waste.

Town leaders should focus on recycling ———

I spent several days dur-ing the past election season dealing with

campaign sign vandalism. It is really sad that supporters of one candidate or another feel that their candidate is so worth-less on his own that their best campaign strategy is to destroy opposition campaign signs.

The first one i dealt with was a four-by-eight-foot Josh Cutler sign at the corner of Routes 14 and 53. It was in-stalled by a professional car-penter on a two-by-four-foot board frame as most large signs are. One morning, the sign was torn down and none of the boards were left at the site. The larger sign was lying in the briars but there was no frame.

The second incident again involved the large Cutler signs — one in our front yard and one across the street. On the morning of Oct. 29, both these signs had been vandal-ized. One was pushed over,

ripping the frame legs out of the ground and breaking some boards. The second one had the actual sign forced out of the frame and thrown on the ground. That day, I repaired both signs and installed a mo-tion sensor camera to watch over these signs.

Wouldn’t you know it — these vandals are dumb enough to return to the scene of their mischief and try do-ing it again. But I have photo-graphs, and i did file a police report.

In our great land, freedom of speech is one of the most protected of all freedoms, and courts have ruled over and over that political signs are among the most protected forms of free speech, that be-ing our right to support any political candidate we choose. So these vandals are working to deprive others of our most protected free speech.

“I’d have to say the race for state representative because it’s the race that I know most about. I would choose Cutler because I

think we need change.”

“The race for governor, because whoever wins will set the policies that will have the biggest impact

Registration for the spring season of Pembroke Youth Lacrosse is available online at pembrokeyouthlacrosse.com. Walk-in registration will be Nov. 9 from 6:30-8 p.m. at North Pembroke Elementary School. Please keep in mind that the teams fill up quickly. Please note that the expecta-tion for 2011 is that for the eight game days (played on Sundays) that lacrosse should be the first priority. Last year, many players missed games for other sports. There is a waiting list, so it is not fair for a player

to take a spot if he or she can-not show up for games.

This year, there is a pay-ment option for both girls and boys for the Emass/Laxa-chusetts skills on Wednesday nights to help accommodate as many players as possible. The extra charge is $100. For those who are not familiar with Emass/Laxachusetts, they are considered one of the best club/select programs in the country. All of their coaches have played at the highest lev-el of college and most coach high school lacrosse. This is

a special arrangement Pem-broke has with Laxachusetts; to help drive participation, there will be no team practices on Wednesday nights.

Youth Lacrosse teams are as follows: U11 boys (third and fourth grade), U11 girls (third and fourth grade), U13 boys (fifth and sixth grade), U13 girls (fifth and sixth grade), U15 boys (seventh and eighth grade) and U15 girls (seventh and eighth grade).

A case of mistaken identity

I would like to compli-ment the Pembroke Express and Karen

Proctor on an excellent article about my father and mother, Hosea and Mary Benson, in your Pembroke’s Past article in the Oct. 29 edition of the Pembroke Express.

However, the Benson’s Cafe pictured in the article was never owned or operated by my father. That restaurant

was originally owned by Ho-sea’s grandfather, Levi Ben-son. Levi turned the business over to his son, Merle, who ran it until he passed away in 1945. The business was pur-chased by others at that time.

Hosea lived a good part of his life in Hanson where his fa-ther, Edmund Benson, served as selectman from 1932-56.

recycle day


answer was yes,” Paolino said. “The next morning, I called the Realtor and said you’ve got to call on this place. I even told him, ‘My sister came through in spirit; she said that’s the place.’ He was like, OK, Kar-en [laughs]. He called me back later in the day and he said, ‘Karen I think you’ve found your destination.’”

The new location for her business, Heaven on Earth, opened in early September with a day of activities for longtime clients as well as new faces.

As she did first out of her home and later at her Abington studio, Paolino offers consul-tations and workshops aimed at helping people get in touch with their spiritual side and, for many, find a way to heal.

Similar to a medium, Paolino said she communi-cates with spiritual guides (the spirits of loved ones who have died) and angels, which she describes as “beings of lights that are like a bridge between heaven and earth.”

During angel readings, Paolino helps people connect with their guides and angels, providing messages through cards and prayer. She also is certified in hypnosis and uses it as a tool to help people in various ways.

“I do hypnosis, helping people break habits or release their fear. The mind is very powerful. Hypnosis is really a very natural form of healing where you can go into the sub-conscious mind just through relaxation and change the pro-grams that are in your head, change your thoughts and re-place them with affirmative thoughts,” Paolino said. “I’ve done a lot with weight loss and helping people release their fears. I’ve worked with cancer patients and helping them get through the process of going through surgery or radiation or chemotherapy.”

Paolino first discovered her connection with the divine while undergoing treatment for thyroid cancer about 13

years ago.“I went through surgery

and radiation treatment and I really thought there’s got to be something more than just my body. I went down the whole journey of mind, body and spirit. I really didn’t want to go through it again. I want-ed to heal completely,” said Paolino, who had a 4 1/2-year-old daughter and 18-month-old son at the time. “I just started searching. I started reading books on healing and medita-tion. I started meditating, and then I started to have all these spiritual experiences.”

Once while she was in the hospital for radiation treat-ment, Paolino said she felt her guardian angel sit with her.

“I was meditating, and I felt this presence sit next to me. I thought maybe it was my grandmother, who had passed, but it didn’t feel like that. In my mind’s eye, I saw this

white, glowing energy, and I felt somebody hold my hand,” she said. “I didn’t tell anyone because I thought they’re go-ing to think I’m making this up, I’m losing it. After I started to get better, I was talking to somebody at the gym about having a psychic come to her house. When I went to see her, she ended up telling me ev-erything that had happened to me and that I was going to be OK but she also described my guardian angel exactly how I saw her and told me things that only my guardian angel had told me. That was it. I was like, wow, this really does exist.”

Paolino worked in corpo-rate sales before getting sick. A few years after discovering her abilities as an intuitive, she began seeing clients out of her home and eventually grew it into a thriving business, first renting space and then opening a small center in Abington.

Throughout both careers, she has taught aerobics and yoga and now leads yoga and pilates classes through her Pembroke studio as well as individual and group ses-sions of angel readings, soul coaching, past life regression, table tipping and others. (For a complete list of programs and a schedule of workshops, visit createheaven.com.)

Paolino also is an author. Her first book, “What Would Love Do: A 40-Day Journey to Transform Your Fears Into Miracles of Love,” was self-published, and she also recent-ly penned “The Everything Guide to Angels,” part of a popular series of guidebooks published by Adams Media.

Paolino also hosted a radio pro-gram for about a year and a half on WATD and briefly on a Needham-based station. In the show, called, “Creating Heaven on Earth,” Paolino shared in-spirational messages and did angel read-ings for people who called in.

Paolino said her programs appeal to people from all types of religious and spiritual backgrounds.

“They could be search-ing; they could want relax-ation, a sense of peace. They might want direction,” she said. “Some people just need a community of people that are loving and supportive. Some come to develop their intuition and to connect with divine guidance or their angels or their loved ones. But I would say for the most part they want to better themselves in some way. They want clarity, direc-tion or healing or they want to feel better in some way, more joy, more happiness.”

With her new location, Paolino feels she has found the right setting for her work.

“Honestly i feel this is a place where miracles are go-ing to continue happening ev-ery day — miracles of healing, awakening, transformation, clarity,” she said. “I just want to be open to allowing that to happen.”

HEAVEn On EARTH Karen Paolini recently moved her Heaven on Earth studio to the loft of a 250-year-old barn on Route 53 (where Personal Best Salon and Utopia Place Spa are). Among the services she offers are angel readings.

At her open house in September, Paolini utilized an existing open wall as a “wish-ing wall” where visitors could place their prayers and messages to their angels.

Last year, it was Pat Claf-lin’s last-second field goal that propelled Pembroke over Mid-dleboro. This year, the Titans provided yet another dramatic ending in their meeting with the Sachems.

Trailing the Sachems by eight, Luke Nagle connected with captain Luke Leavitt for a six-yard touchdown pass with 39 seconds left in regula-tion, then hit captain Pat Walsh with a pass on the two-point conversion to force overtime. Nagle then found captain Matt Allen with a 14-yard strike in the overtime period to give the Titans a 41-35 win at the high school.

“To come back and win like that was exciting,” head

coach Bob Bancroft said. “The kids are excited and, hopefully, this will be a big win for us go-ing forward.”

Nagle got off to a rough start, with Sachem Josh Teri picking off his pass in the first quarter and running it back 55

yards for Middleboro’s sec-ond touchdown. But the ju-nior quarterback settled in as the game went on. He snuck into the end zone in the sec-ond quarter to tie the game for Pembroke’s third touchdown and then took command of the

offense in the second half, en-gineering the tying and game-winning drives.

“Early in the game he had some issues, but he caught on fire,” Bancroft said of Nagle. “He made good decisions, he made some nice audibles and he really handled the team well.”

The Titans also got a big boost offensively with Walsh’s return after he left with an in-jury on the first play of the sec-ond quarter in Pembroke’s loss to Quincy two weeks ago. In addition to scoring the big two-point conversion, Walsh also rushed for both of Pembroke’s first two touchdowns.

“He has run well for us all year, but this was by far his best game,” Bancroft said. “He played really well.”

Walsh’s normal comple-ment in the backfield, Jon Hooper, missed the game with an injury, but Bancroft was hap-py with the play of sophomore running back Brian Tinkham, who gave the Titans their first lead of the game with a rushing touchdown in the third quarter.

The Titans battled back from a quick 14-0 hole to go

up 28-27 on Tinkham’s touch-down, only to have Middleboro take the lead right back in the fourth quarter. The Sachems have run a passing-oriented spread offense this season, but they scored only one touch-down through the air on a pass from Brian Wiksten to Sean Newcomb in the first quar-ter. Teri ran in a touchdown in addition to his interception score, and Christian Della-rocco ran for two. The Titans also had trouble against the run last week in Hingham, but Bancroft said the difference was that the offense, which couldn’t finish drives against the Harbormen, responded to every Sachem score.

“Obviously when they score 35 points I can’t say we stopped them, but our offense responded,” Bancroft said. “Against Hingham, we were giving the ball right back to them. Middleboro had some long drives on us, but the dif-ference was that we matched them.”

The Titan will host their neighbors and traditional rivals the Hanover Indians at the high school this Friday.

Alumni gameFormer Titans square off on the Cape


When Massachusetts Maritime Academy Bucca-neers met Fitchburg State College Falcons for their New England Football Conference match-up on Oct. 16, for-mer Pembroke High School teammates found themselves squaring off on opposite sides of the field.

Fitchburg freshman and

former Pembroke wide receiv-er Joe Memmo played defen-sive back for the Falcons op-posite fellow Pembroke High School graduates and current Buccaneers Jim Hutchinson and Bobby Gratzer.

Hutchinson, a junior at Mass Maritime, recovered a fumble that led to one of the Buccaneers’ five touchdowns, as they beat Memmo and the Falcons 34-7.

Jim Hutchinson (top), Bobby Gratzer (bottom right) and Mass. Maritime came out on top of Joe Memmo (bottom left) and Fitchburg State College in a game featuring three former Titans.

Cunningham’s athletic career at Pembroke High School came to an end last week with the conclu-sion of the field hockey season. She is now turn-

ing her attention to her college plans and other hobbies. She shared her thoughts on …

… her plans for college. I’m planning on going into fashion merchandising or fashion design — I’m

not quite sure yet. [For schools], I like the Fashion Institute of New York City, Johnson and Wales

and Framingham State.

… why she wants to pursue fashion. I like to sew and make clothes. I did a four-week

course at the School of Fashion Design in Bos-ton and I really liked that.

… making her own clothes. I’ve been doing it for about a year. I just really love clothes and love to

shop so I thought it would be a good thing for me. I make dresses, skirts, shirts and headbands — just about every-thing. I think I’m going to make a Web site soon and start selling things.

… picking up field hockey. I had a friend who dragged me to play when I didn’t really want to, but as I started play-ing I loved it. I like how it is a different sport and it’s a lot of

fun. I never really liked sports before.

… her favorite sports memory. Just being captain and having girls confide in you and feeling like a real leader. After the season, a girl texted me and thanked me for being a good captain and being there. That really touched me and made me feel like I did something good.

… her other school activities. I’m in choir and I’m doing the musical this year. I started taking choir in junior year and it was just a really fun class.

… her future ambitions. I’ve always felt like I can do something really big. I don’t know what it is yet, but I think I can be famous for something [laughs].

The Titans didn’t rack up six goals on Tuesday like they did in their first meeting with the Sacred Heart Saints, but they did what they needed to head into the MIAA tourna-ment with some momentum.

The Titans rebounded from a 1-0 loss to Bridgewater-Rayn-ham to shut out Sacred Heart 1-0 at the high school in their final regular season game.

Senior Renee Trudeau picked up the Titans’ lone score when her shot was redi-rected off a Sacred Heart de-fender and into the net in the 36th minute.

Though the Titans dominat-ed the play in both halves, they had trouble getting to the net for second shot opportunities.

Michelle Coate, Jenna Bostwick and Christen Cahill each had two shots stopped by the Saints’ keeper, but the Ti-tans looked hesitant to shoot in the second half despite be-ing in the Sacred Heart end for most of the 40 minutes.

“I think today we just had a hard time finishing,” head coach Kara Connerty said. “In the end it was a win, but I don’t think it was our best game. These games are very important; finishing and play-ing the 80 minutes are things we need to do.”

Neither Alex Davis nor Brooke Musial saw much ac-tion in net for Pembroke. The Saints got one breakaway in the second half, but the shot missed wide. Musial had to dive out of her net later in the second half to break up a Sa-cred Heart scoring attempt, but neither she nor Davis faced a shot on target from the Saints as the Titan defense and midfield locked down the Saint attack.

Prior to the game, the Ti-tans held their annual Senior Night festivities to honor the

13 members of the team who will graduate this May.

Connerty credited the vet-eran presence on the team as one of the biggest reasons the Titans were able to rebound from missing the tournament last season to become the 2010 division champions.

“I think it is a real tribute to their dedication to the pro-gram for four years to make it

so successful that we are grad-uating this many,” Connerty said. “They are a great group; they show great leadership and great enthusiasm. It’s been ter-rific having them and I think having 13 seniors bodes well for us in the tournament.”

In addition to winning the Fisher Division, Bostwick, Coate, Trudeau, Amanda Pug-liese and Sarah James were

named Patriot League All-Stars earlier this week.

The MIAA tournament is scheduled to start Saturday, but the Titans with their 13-4-3 record have a strong chance of earning a bye out of the first round. The MIAA released the seeding after press time for the Express; check the Express Web site for tournament game times and locations.

Tourney time for volleyballRix, Titans hopeful for a deep playoff run


The Titan volleyball team may be going into the MIAA tournament on a los-ing streak, but head coach Dave Rix thinks his team is heading into the playoffs playing their best volleyball of the season.

The Titans ended their regular season on the road Friday with a 3-1 loss to Marshfield. It was the sec-ond loss of the season for the Titans to the Division I Rams, but Rix said his team made a stronger showing in the second go-around.

“It was their senior night, so we expected them to come firing, which they did,” Rix

said. “But we handled that pressure and played pretty steady.”

The Titans’ loss to the Rams came two days after their loss 3-0 loss to this year’s Patriot League cham-pions, the Quincy Presidents. Though the Titans were shut out, they contested each vol-ley with the Presidents be-fore eventually falling short.

“We probably played some of our best volleyball of the season,” Rix said, adding that two good games against tough opponents at the end of the season bodes well for the tournament de-spite the losses.

“We just have to correct a few minor things that we are doing, but we are play-ing fairly consistent. To have the last two games against the league champs and a D-I team, and to play them well, bodes very well for us,” he said.

Rix shuffled his lineup for the match to allow his se-

niors to all get playing time. Pembroke has four seniors this season, captains Mea-gan Hall and Lisa Higgins, and Rachel Crovo and Tricia Stacey, and Rix said their largest contribution has been helping the young players elevate their game.

“They’ve all been fan-tastic,” he said. “Meagan and Lisa have been great all year, and Tricia and Rachel have played big minutes off the bench, but what you don’t see is their ability to bridge that gap between the seniors and the sophomores. We have a lot of sophomores on this team, and I give a lot of credit to our seniors for tempering the losses when we went on a bit of a losing streak and keep us going for-ward.”
