“We labor to make a house a home, then every time we’re expecting visitors, we rush to turn it back into a house.” — Robert Brault

Local commuters soon will be able to get a ride to the Hanson train station.

A combination of federal grant money and part of Pem-broke’s MBTA assessment will be used by the Greater Attle-boro Taunton Regional Transit Authority to fund a new shuttle route from Pembroke Center, GATRA board member Hilary Wilson said Monday.

“The plan is to run a bus from Liberty Square [the Lib-erty Drive development] and go up through the community center parking lot, pick up whoever is parked there, go down Mattakeesett and over to Route 27 and then down to the train station in Hanson,” Wil-son said.

The plan is to offer at least

20 marked parking spaces be-hind the community center where commuters can leave their vehicles to catch the shuttle. The bus also will be able to pick up people who flag it down along the route, Wilson said.

The decision to offer a shuttle came in part from the results of a survey sent out in June.

“We got a good percentage back,” Wilson said of the sur-veys, which asked residents how often they would use a shuttle and to which station — Hanson or Halifax — they wanted to go.

Though the response showed about a 50/50 split between the two stations, GA-TRA officials decided to start

With topics ranging from a disappearing sea in central Asia to the plight of a pond here in Pembroke, a group of Hobomock Elementary School students made quite a splash at the Southeastern Massachu-setts Geography Network’s 24th annual Geography Fair.

Held last weekend at Bridgewater State University, the fair featured 100 projects

from teams across the region, all centered on the theme of “Clean Water, Fresh Water.”

Each of the five Hobomock teams that entered the event came home with top marks.

“It’s not about winning, but it’s very nice. It’s icing on the cake,” said sixth grade teacher Amy Durgin, who advised the kids on their projects along with teacher Kelly Valeri.

Local youth helped get the Pembroke Food Pantry ready for the

holidays on Saturday with their largest Scouting For Food collec-tion ever.

The annual drive drew more than 6,200 pounds of food dona-tions for the pantry, according to Scout parent Dave Shea, who helped organize the collection.

“We had Cubs from both packs, Scouts from both troops, all levels of Girl Scouts and the Venturing Crew all participate,” Shea said. “It was a great Scout-ing effort in support of folks in

Pembroke that need it.”In celebration of Boy Scout-

ing’s 100th anniversary, every-one who helped out received a special grocery bag-shaped Scouting For Food patch. The drive will help stock the pantry shelves and allow volunteers to meet a growing demand for the service.

“We kind of peaked out around 300 plus. Now it’s dropped down a little bit,” pan-try volunteer Bill Ferguson said of the number of people who use the pantry.

Pembroke taxpayers will see another increase in prop-erty tax rates this year, with the average residential bill go-ing up by about $101.

On Monday, Chief Asses-sor Cathy Salmon presented selectmen with the FY2011 tax estimates, which have yet to be certified by the state. Based on the estimated property val-ues in Pembroke, the town re-quires a tax rate of $13.49 per $1,000 of property value. The average residential bill, for a property valued at $325,750, will be $4,395.43 (versus the FY2010 rate of $12.89 per $1,000, for an average resi-dential bill of $4,294).

The average commercial property is valued at $976,500, with a tax bill of $13,176 (about $351 more than the average FY2010 bill), according to numbers provided by Salmon.

Based on the Board of Assessors’ recommendation, selectmen opted to maintain Pembroke’s uniform tax rate, giving residential and com-mercial properties an equal share of the tax burden rather than shifting more of the bur-den onto businesses with a split tax rate.

“We have such a large per-centage of residential that we don’t feel it makes sense to try to shift the burden from the residential onto the commer-cial,” Salmon said.

About 86.67 percent of properties in Pembroke are classified as residential, with 8.75 percent commercial, 2.88 percent industrial and 1.70 percent personal, according to Salmon.

With just a 10 percent shift onto businesses, the average residential taxpayer would save about $67 per year while the average commercial tax-

payer would pay about $1,300 more, Salmon said.

The board also voted against a small commercial tax exemption, which would give businesses with less than 10 employees that own prop-erty valued at less than $1 mil-lion a discount on their bills.

The estimates show Pem-broke’s total FY2011 property values at just over $2.3 bil-lion, with the town budget re-quiring $31,163,256 through property taxes, according to Salmon.

Property values for the fis-cal year 2011, which runs July 1, 2010 through June 30, 2011, are based on assessments and market values from calendar year 2009, which means there is some lag time between when a home’s value drops or increases and when that change is reflected on their as-sessment, and ultimately their tax bill, Salmon said.

Pembroke teachers and principals were notified last week

that the Pembroke Educa-tion Foundation has awarded $13,257 in grants to all five Pembroke schools, despite dif-ficult economic times.

The foundation, established in 2003, is a private, nonprofit organization that raises funds for enrichment programs for the Pembroke school system. Funds are distributed once a year through a grant process. Teachers and related staff com-pleted applications in October and were notified on Nov. 15 regarding the status of their grant requests.

This year, the foundation received 31 grants requesting a total of $48,390.

“We are proud to be able to grant a little over $13,000 to our schools. Although this amount is lower than previous years, there continues to be tre-mendous need in our schools for technology enhancements and for performing arts fund-ing,” said Kelly Ross, PEF co-chairwoman. “We hope our next fundraiser will allow us to increase our funding in 2011.”

All five Pembroke schools received funds. Money was given for the high school and middle school spring musicals, while the elementary schools will benefit from new literacy materials and numerous enrich-ment programs. The funding of new orchestra and band equip-ment — including one new string bass outfit, a trumpet and a saxophone — will continue the expansion of the elemen-tary music program, while the high school received funds to-ward a euphonium (brass wind instrument). Pembroke High School also received funds to support the new engineering department, to expand National

Foreign Language Week and to offer an in-school live presen-tation of “Romeo and Juliet.”

Eighteen of the 31 requests received aid, either with partial or full funding. See box at left for a complete list of grantees.

The Pembroke Education Foundation raises all its funds from fundraisers and is plan-ning its next event for March 5. The casino-themed Casa-blanca Night will be held at the Pembroke Country Club. Tickets are $30 per person.

The organization is look-ing for volunteers to join the foundation and to help with the event. Meetings are held the first Wednesday of ev-ery month at 9:30 a.m. at the Pembroke Public Library. All are welcome. For more infor-mation, visit pembrokeeduca-tionfoundation.org or contact Kelly Ross at 781-293-4653.

John and I celebrated our 45th wedding anniversary for two weekends in a row. We took a

long weekend and flew to Branson, Mo. nestled in the Ozark Mountains abutting Lake Taneycomo. Branson is pictur-esque and prides itself on offering 49 wholesome, family-oriented, variety shows performed in the area. We were able to get tickets for two of these shows. One day, we had a lakefront lunch at Cedar Lodge. Another day we went to Dogwood Canyon where we took a tram ride in a nature preserve that was so peaceful and serene. The tram took us into Arkansas where we were able to get up close and personal with the bison/buffalo, deer, elk and longhorn cattle. It was a trip I would like to take again. The following weekend, on the day of our actual anniversary, we went into Boston, spent a night at the Taj Hotel, had dinner at Abe & Louie’s and breakfast at the hotel before checking out, did a little shopping and then walked through the Boston Public Garden before heading home. Celebrations are wonderful! And now let’s see what’s going on around town.

Early New England towns like Pembroke are blessed with many reminders of our historic heritage. As one drives around these areas, those of us fascinated by

ancient things usually begin to get a “feel” for a town based on the number, style and condition of its old homes. The care tak-

en with such homes can reflect the owners’ and the community’s respect for its history. Again, Pem-broke is truly blessed.

While Pembroke has experienced tremendous growth over the last five or so decades, and this is reflected in the prepon-derance of “modern” homes, the careful observer will find, tucked in among the buildings of the 20th century, some true “gems.”

Colonial architecture is divided into three periods: The first period is characterized by houses built between the years of 1620 and 1680; the second period by houses built between 1680 and 1770; and the third period by houses built between 1770 and 1820. After that year, the houses built up until 1900 are called post-Colonial and include styles of homes from Greek revival to late Victorian. The years from 1900 to the pres-ent are known as the modern period.

You can go to Plimoth Plantation to see recreations of the earliest form of the first period house. There are no original examples remain-ing to this day largely because these structures had no foundations and this led to wood rot. The houses were tiny — barely shelters — consisting of one common room (and later perhaps a small sleeping chamber for the parents) with an overhead loft. Most of us are familiar with the New England “saltbox” type house, also known as the lean-to. It usually had a center chimney and was symmetrical. The King’s Highway Tavern on Washington Street (now an apartment dwelling) is just one example of this style. It is believed to have been built about 1660 by the Barker family. The “Cape Cod” style house is also an example of this period architecture, and is in evidence all over Pembroke.

There are many fine examples of houses built in the second period located along the older roads in Pembroke. Washington Street between Schoosett and Barker streets, Barker and Center streets, Oldham, West Elm and High streets offer example after example of this period architecture. These houses are often characterized as two-storied with center chimneys, clapboards and shingled roofs.

Third period houses can also be found in our town. They may be of the Georgian style with its stone basement, col-umned and pedimented entrances and sometimes hipped roofs. Again, a drive along the aforementioned historic roads of Pem-broke will afford fine examples of these structures.

Houses from the post-Colonial and modern periods are also very common in Pembroke. If you live in an older home and are curious about its style, there are many good books in the library with excellent drawings that can help you learn to identify some of the most common styles fairly easily. And, as you travel around New England and elsewhere, keep your eyes open. You can learn a lot about the history of a community just be being a careful observer of its ancient homes.

Congratulations to Susan G. Ludlow, Fred Doyle, George Migre, Brooks Kelly and Otis Hathon for correctly identifying the Kings Highway Tavern as a saltbox style building.

Softball registration

The Pembroke Girls Softball League will hold its 2011 spring season reg-istration on Tuesday, Nov. 30 from 7-9 p.m. at the community center. This in-town spring softball league is open to all Pembroke girls ages 5-16. For more infor-mation, call Susan Haen at 781-826-3429 or Matt Ca-hill at 978-804-9553.


It was the second consecu-tive year that every Hobomock team came home with a prize. All of the students are sixth graders.

“We’re getting better at this,” Durgin said. “We take it very seriously, because we’re not only talking about the past and the present, but we need to consider the future as well. These are citizens of tomor-row.”

Teams ranged from in-dividuals and pairs to larger groups and entire classes.

Hobomock team AJ DeMi-ta, Sal Perotto and Tim Scully learned about the disappearing Aral Sea, which lies between Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan in central Asia.

“It’s shrinking because ir-rigation canals, dams and pre-cipitation are taking the fresh water away,” DeMita said.

The team looked at how the shrinking sea affected the lo-cal fishing economy, changed the climate and increased pol-lution in the surrounding area — resulting in higher infant mortality. They won for best oral presentation.

For their project, Emma Valeri, Emily Rogers, Char-lotte Nagle and Nicole Keeley looked at the irrigation systems in Israel and Jordan.

“We chose this because they’re so close yet they’re so different,” Valeri said. “They both have scarce water prob-lems, but Israel has the money to fix it and Jordan is working up to it.”

The girls won for best use of maps and best visual display.

Alex MacPherson, Mag-gie Dakin and Sara McKenna explored the world of glaciers for their project, “Glaciers: Water’s Frozen Assets.”

“We talked about how, when a glacier melts, the water can be used for drinking and ir-rigation and that 75 percent of the earth’s freshwater is stored in glaciers,” Dakin said.

The girls won for best oral presentation.

For Harrison Clark’s indi-vidual project on “The Dead Sea and How It Died,” he brought in products using Dead Sea salt.

Clark said the most inter-esting fact he learned was that the Dead Sea has 33.7 percent salinity — much higher than salinity in the world’s oceans.

“In the Dead Sea, you can float completely. When you go underwater, it pushes you back up quickly because the salt’s so thick it’s like you’re floating on a solid,” he said.

Clark won for best use of theme.

“[The judges] thought it was very unusual. No one else thought of that topic,” Durgin said of Clark’s project.

For his project, “The Pos-sible Plight of a Pembroke Pond,” William Tavares used information from the Pem-broke Watershed Association’s water quality reports to create graphs showing how levels of chloride, phosphorus, dis-solved oxygen and alkalin-ity increased or decreased be-tween 2007 and 2010. Among his findings was an increase in chloride, which Tavares said mainly comes from road salt washing into the pond.

“You can’t really tell the

direct causes [of chemical pol-lution] because most is non point source pollution, so you have to make a guess,” Tava-res said. “We think most of it is runoff because of things like storm drains. Different ponds around Pembroke have storm drains that drain into them from a couple of miles away, so even if you’re not near the water, you could still be con-tributing to over-pollution.”

Tavares won for best oral presentation.

After presenting the proj-ects, the students were free to check out other displays, shop from a table of T-shirts and other products (with proceeds going to build wells in Liberia) and watch African drumming and dancing in the cafeteria.

Durgin said the projects helped illustrate the impor-tance of learning more than just names and places.

“This is what we call genu-ine geography. It’s so much more than just memorizing a capital city. They’re truly thinking about the challenges that the earth faces,” she said. “They start to think, ‘Are these challenges that we might face?’ or ‘How might we solve these issues?’ It’s a whole new side to geography.”

with a Hanson-only route, Wil-son said. Future funding could allow for a shuttle to Halifax as well.

Also in the future, GATRA could contract out for a route within Pembroke that would pick up people along a set route and drop them off at popular shopping areas and other sites.

“The response to the shut-tle survey seems to be that people are interested. If this thing takes off and people are actually riding the shuttle and people are actually flagging it down, then we’ll get a sense that they really are interested and we can go from there,” Wilson said.

The shuttle is tentatively scheduled to start running Mon-day, Jan. 3 and should continue running through August 2011 with the current funding — about $25,000 from a federal

grant aimed at helping people get to work and about $25,000 coming through the MBTA as-sessment the state took from Pembroke, which is now used to contract for services with GATRA.

The proposed shuttle would take three trips each in the morning and afternoon, de-livering commuters to the Han-son station in time to catch the 6:26 a.m., 7:49 a.m. and 8:47 a.m. train and picking them up upon arrival on the 4:20 p.m., 5 p.m. and 5:38 p.m. trains, Wil-son said.

The shuttle will be free at the start, though eventually GATRA may need to charge a dollar per ride to help cover costs, Wilson said.

GATRA Administrator Frank Gay is scheduled to ap-pear before selectmen on Dec. 6 to provide more information about the route and answer questions.

what’s on your Christmas wish list this year?

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

dEadliNE for all letters & commentaries is tuesday at noon.

Thanksgiving is the quint-essential American holi-day. It is a day we all cel-

ebrate regardless of race, religion and ethnicity. We celebrate this day because we are Americans. Thanks-giving is about coming together as a family — with those blood related and those so close they might as well be related. It is about sharing time and a meal, and it is a time to give thanks to those around us. It is one of my favorite times of year. With the hope of not being too self-indulgent, I offer you this piece of thanks, from a father’s perspective:

My family, like so many here in Pembroke, has had a difficult year or so. We have faced struggles economic and otherwise. We have had to cut back and worry about dollars and health. And yet we are also very fortunate and so lucky. For all of you in the same boat as our family, take Thursday off from worry and be thankful for what is in front of you. I am so thankful for my family. Family is our foundation. The smiles of our children cost little, but it motivates more than they will ever know. Be thankful for the meal on your table and those around you that truly unconditionally love you. I, like so many fathers, have this to be thankful for: a good wife and loving children. A simple thank you may seem trivial but it means so much to them.

Give thanks for your faith, whatever it is. God expects no payment and is there to listen and carry you in times of difficulty and strife. When things seem too tough to handle there is always a place to turn, and having a support sys-tem that is beyond our comprehension and relies solely on our faith is comforting. Knowing there is someone looking out for you as you look out for those around you is grounding and relieving. Use it, even if no one around you knows — that

is the beauty of your faith. It is per-sonal and private.

I will remember on this day the men and women who have put their lives on the line to keep this an Ameri-can day of thanks — free from tyranny or threat. I salute and thank the fami-lies of these soldiers. As they are of-ten forgotten, and their sacrifice is at times just as great. To the wives, the husbands, the children and the parents of those serving, thank you so much for all you give. Thank you to those you love that leave our shores to keep

us safe.I am thankful on Thanksgiving for living

in a town where I know my neighbors and they know me. Neighbors who see you when you are not at your best and want to prop you up, or just invite you in for a home brew. Neighbors who are always there, whether just to share a beer or provide a few minutes of their time. Pembroke is a town full of these kinds of friends; many of them have become family.

On a lighter note, I am thankful to our sports teams for one heck of a year. Youth football and cheerleaders, high school teams, recent soccer and football successes have brought our com-munity together to cheer on our own. This again is because of the strength of our community and the willingness to support our youth. Kids, be thankful to Mom and Dad who give up time and money to see you succeed in the good seasons and tell you not to worry in the not-so-good sea-sons.

While these pages have finite space, our reasons for giving thanks could be infinite. So if even for one day, put the worries aside, kiss your wife, hug your children, watch some foot-ball (Go Pats!) and take a minute to remember all the reasons today is the ideal day to be thank-ful, and to be an American.

The Pembroke C o m m u n i t y Group has begun

its annual fund drive for the 2010 holiday season. Through this program, Pem-broke families, elders or any person in need are given as-sistance every year for the holidays and are provided with food, gifts and cloth-ing. The Community Group consists of many organi-zations, town employees, churches and residents who help make the holidays a lit-tle brighter for families who have fallen on hard times. All names will remain con-fidential. Anyone who is in need of assistance or knows of someone in need should call Linda Porazzo, Pem-broke Community Group director, at 781-243-1103.

The Community Group also is conducting a toy and clothing drive. Anyone wish-ing to donate new toys and

clothing may drop them off at the Fire Department head-quarters in Pembroke Center or the North Pembroke Post Office or may make arrange-ments to drop off items at the Recreation Department of-fice in the community center (call Sue at 781-293-3249). The group is always in dire need of items and gift cer-tificates for teens and adults. All clothing should still have the clothing tag attached; price tags can be removed. All items should be left un-wrapped.

Those wishing to make a donation should send checks made payable to the Pem-broke Community Group to P.O. Box 1387, Pembroke, MA 02359. Checks also may be dropped off at the select-men’s office at the Town Hall. This group operates solely on donations and does not receive any town, state or federal funding.

Pembroke Community Group seeks donations

The Pem-broke Ex-press is

now accepting nomi-nations for the 2010 Citizen of the Year.

The Citizen of the Year is a person who has gone above and be-yond the call of duty to serve our town and the larger com-munity. The Citizen of the Year need not be a Pembroke resident if their contributions largely occurred in Pembroke. Conversely, the Citizen of the Year may be a Pembroke resi-dent whose greatest contribu-tion might have occurred out-side the town’s border.

Nominees will be accepted for the next several 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 spe-cial. Please be as specific as you can and include as much information as you know.

Your submissions will be kept confidential. Send all nominations to [email protected] or mail to Pembroke Express, P.O. Box 1656, Duxbury, MA 02331.

who is the next Citizen of the Year?



center (opposite end from the preschool) is open every Wednesday from 8:30-11:30 a.m. Families who are signed up for the program can come in once a month to pick up free food. Volunteers just ask participants to show proof of identity such as a driver’s li-cense and proof of residency — to make sure there is only one person per family signed up, Ferguson said.

In previous years, when money donations were up, the Pembroke Food Pantry was able to give out gift certificates for Thanksgiving, Christmas and even back-to-school time and Easter. However, while food donations remain steady, the amount of money coming in has dropped, Ferguson said, and the volunteers will not be able to distribute certificates.

“Originally, we were giv-ing turkeys, and that got to be beyond our capabilities, so we started giving out a gift certif-icate at Thanksgiving so you could go buy a turkey. Then we expanded it when our funds were up,” Ferguson said. “But it’s always a balancing act. We can never predict how much we’re going to get in.”

The pantry uses money donations to purchase grocer-ies — perishable items such as cheese, margarine, chicken and hamburger — spending about $3,000 monthly, Fer-guson said. The pantry also receives large food donations from Trader Joe’s in Hanover and other businesses.

“Our money donations have all of a sudden just dropped. People are still giv-ing, but not as much. Some of our bigger donors, corporate donors, they’re giving but not as much as they did,” Fergu-son said. “But we’re doing fine, and without giving the gift certificates we have a nice three or four month cushion of cash to buy food.”

Ferguson said he wasn’t sure the pantry would distrib-ute certificates again, as some people became accustomed to the gift and gave volunteers a hard time when they didn’t re-ceive the same thing this year.

Ferguson began volunteer-ing at the food pantry about 10 years ago after his mother, Carol, got involved. Carol, who is currently living in Kentucky with her daughter, is still active with the pantry — she writes all the personal-ized thank you notes to send out to those who donate.

As for what keeps him in-volved, Ferguson joked, “It’s sort of like a bad habit.”

But he also appreciates the genuine need in the com-munity.

“I know people depend on it. The other volunteers depend on me, and the people depend on me, and most of them are great,” he said. “There’s a small group that will always

try to pull something — those are the ones unfortunately that you remember — but most of the people are really nice people.”

He is joined on the all-volunteer food pantry staff by Carol and Bob Demers, Bob Haddock, Winnie Glennon, Harriett Reed, Howie League and others who do what they can to help out.

Carol Demers is typically at the food pantry five days a week, taking in donations and organizing everything so it is ready for Wednesday morning shopping.

“My sister-in-law, Mary Willis, was the secretary at the Council on Aging at the time [around 1990] and she said, ‘Do you want to do a little volunteer work?’ I said, sure,” Demers recalled. “I enjoy get-

ting out and meeting people.”The Pembroke Food Pan-

try is always in need of dona-tions, both items and money, and collections tend to drop off after the holidays, though the need remains. Checks should be made out to “Pem-broke Food Pantry” and can be mailed to P.O. Box 295, Pembroke, MA 02359. Dona-tions of nonperishable food or toiletries — Demers said they are in need of shampoo, soap, toothpaste and other items — can be dropped off anytime at the Pembroke Public Library, the Fire Department head-quarters, the post office and at First Church.

Donations also can be brought to the food pantry during open hours on Wednes-days between 8:30 a.m. and 11:30 a.m.

Phew. The last guest has pulled out of the driveway and you can

finally put your feet up. Only a food writer would suggest heading back into the kitchen for more cooking — just a little and it will be so worth it. Rich, aromatic turkey soup is a sim-ply soothing aftertaste to the intense food-oriented holiday. The hours it spends simmering stovetop lend themselves nicely to that quiet time in front of the fire that you so deserve after a hectic week. The only caveat is that you should make the turkey broth base as soon as possible

after the Thanksgiving dinner as the bits of meat still attached to the carcass will spoil in a few days. Save your leftover bones, skin and gravy to add to the soup base. Wrap leftover turkey meat (off the bone) tightly and save until ready to add to the soup.

Turkey soupMakes 6 to 10 servingsBroth:1 turkey carcass, picked

over. Save the bits of meat1 carrot, cut into 4 pieces1 onion, cut into 4 pieces1 stalk of celery, cut into

chunks5 or 6 strands of parsley6-8 whole peppercorns1 teaspoon dried thyme1 bay leaf

3 tablespoons of kosher salt4 quarts of water Leftover gravy (optional)Pop the turkey carcass into

a tall stockpot, cover with cold water, add all the remaining in-gredients, plus any leftover tur-key bones, turkey skin and gra-vy. Simmer for up to three hours. To achieve a clear broth, simmer slowly. Boiling the broth results in the same good taste but yields a cloudier base. Using tongs, re-move the carcass and vegetables.

Strain the broth through a fine sieve into a large container. Cool and skim off the fat that rises to the top. You should have about 12 cups of broth. If you want a more intense flavor, simmer the strained broth and reduce the volume from 12 cups to 8. Once cooled, the broth can be refriger-ated or frozen for future use.

Soup:1 tablespoon vegetable oil1 onion, minced2 carrots, chopped6 ounces of egg noodles1 cup frozen peas2 to 3 cups turkey meat, cut

into spoon size piecesSalt and pepperHeat the oil in a pan. Add

the onion and carrots and sauté until fragrant. Add the onion and carrots into simmering tur-

key broth and simmer for about 10 minutes. Add the egg noodles and cook another 10 minutes. Once the carrots and noodles are cooked, add the frozen peas, chopped parsley and the turkey meat. Salt and pepper to taste

Variations: I find that the egg noodles, while adding noodly yumminess to the soup, often swell up and become mealy in the leftover soup. If you plan on eating this soup over a day or two (or freezing it), consider cook-ing the noodles separately and adding them to the bowls before serving. I am wild about barley and often substitute cooked bar-ley for the egg noodles. Cook the barley according to package directions. Rinse it and add it to the cooked soup when you add the peas, turkey and parsley.

Connick finished her cross-country sea-son with 11th place at the Division II All State race on Saturday. After join-

ing the swim team last winter, she is switching back to indoor track this year before finishing her career at Pembroke on the spring track team. She shared her thoughts on …

… choosing a college. I don’t know where exactly I’m going. I’m looking at the Air Force Academy and places around Massachusetts and Maine. I’m looking to go somewhere that has nice places to run where I can major in biology and hopefully get a good job when I get out.

… biology as a major. I think I just like sci-ence. I prefer reading a science book to an Eng-lish book.

… joining the cross-country team. I just started when I was a freshman, I don’t really re-member exactly why. I played soccer my whole life and I went to both captains’ practices, but I decided at the last minute to do cross-country. I like the team and I like running; some people think you would get tired of running every day, but I just like it.

… her other hobbies. I like to draw a lot. I take art classes and people and faces.

… competing in triathlons. I got into it after I did swim team last year. My swim coach talked about them because he had done them, and I told him I was interested. He told me what to do [to train], and it’s something I am going to keep do-ing.

… her goals after high school. I want to be able to travel. Not necessarily around the world, but I want to go out west.

A visit with girls cross-country captain

Heather Connick

SENIOR MOMENTS

Kelley finished third at the All State race on Saturday after winning Eastern Mass. last week. He and the Titans are heading

to New York state this weekend for the regional championship and hope to head to Nationals in

two weeks. He shared his thoughts on …

… his college choices. My number one if I can get in is Amherst College, but I’m looking at a few other schools in the New England area. What I’m really looking for in a school is a place where I can run with a good team and challenge myself academi-

cally.

… picking a major. I’m thinking math or science. I took AP Biology last year and really

liked it, but it’s pretty broad right now.

… starting track in high school. My dad was a three-season runner as well in high school and col-lege, so I always had that in the back of my head. I also played soccer pretty much my whole life, but when it came time to do high school sports, I kind of knew in my head that soccer was done and it was time to give running a shot.

… cross-country versus track. I like cross-coun-try. I like the fall season, but I also love the team aspect of cross-country. That’s not to say track doesn’t have a team aspect, but the camaraderie you get from being on a cross-country team is not like anything else.

… his other hobbies. I’m really into music. I play bass guitar and I play every few Sundays in the North River Church community band. That is more of a rock deal, but I like to play every genre of music.

… his goals after college. I haven’t really thought about it much, but I definitely want to keep running for as long as possible. I think it has really helped me out.

A visit with boys cross-country captain Ryan Kelley

Seventh heaven for girlsLady Titans finish in top 10 at first All States

By Dave Palana, SPortS eDitor [email protected]

In some ways, Saturday’s All State Championships at Gardner Municipal Golf Course was the end of an era for the Lady Titans, with sev-eral seniors who helped put Pembroke girls cross country on the map running their last high school race. But it was also a big first for the girls cross-country program, and the Titans did not disappoint.

After taking second place in Division IV at Eastern Mass. last week, the Titans ended their season by finishing sev-enth in Division II in their first appearance at All States.

“I couldn’t ask for any-thing more,” head coach Greg Zopatti said. “For a team that has never made All States, they were awesome.”

Senior captain Heather Connick earned a medal in her final cross-country race by taking 11th place and finishing the 2.9-mile course in 17 min-utes and 20.8 seconds. It was Connick’s fourth All State race

in four seasons with the Titans, and Zopatti said she saved her best for last.

“Heather ran great,” he said. “She was running in third for a long time, and I think that really shows how far she has come in the last year and a half. It’s been a special jour-ney for her though injuries, and today I think she showed her place. She is the heart and soul of our team, and she ran a great race.”

Fellow senior captain Mary Scanlan and senior Jess Leary also picked up points for the Titans in their final cross-country race. Scanlan crossed the finish line 56th overall and third for Pembroke in 18:38 and Leary was the team’s fourth runner, finishing 129th in 20:02. Fellow senior Joyce Simon finished seventh for the Titans in 166th place.

While four of the top seven will be gone next season, Zo-patti will have three All State runners returning next year. Junior Chelsea Savage missed medaling by three seconds in

the second All State race of her career. Savage finished in 17:41 to take 17th.

Zopatti was also pleased with the performances of ju-nior Shayna Nolan, who fin-ished fifth for the Titans in 143rd place, and Gabby Mo-lignano, who had a tough time on the course but gutted out a 146th-place finish.

“That is why being solid one through seven is so impor-tant,” he said. “You’ve got to make sure your six and seven can get there with your five. I thought the whole team did well.”

Zopatti said the loss of Connick, Scanlan, Leary, Si-mon and captain Caroline Mc-Cormack is going to hit the team hard next season, but they have left a long legacy at Pembroke High School that will keep the girls cross-coun-try program competitive for years to come.

“Those girls left such an impact that we are going to be able to survive,” he said. “The younger kids like Caro-

line Kelley, Sarah Harland, Chelsea, Gabby and Shayna are going to be able to come

back, get some more kids out and maybe come back here again.”

ENDING ON A HIGH NOTE: Senior Jess Leary heads toward the finish line to take 129th place in her first All State race.



By Dave Palana, SPortS eDitor [email protected]

Titan junior Wesley Gal-lagher provided some drama for race fans as he and Old Rochester senior Dana Dour-deville ran neck-and-neck down the final straightway at the All State Championships at Gardner Municipal Golf Course on Saturday.

But that was the only dra-ma of the day for the Titans, who lay waste to Division II to claim their second consecutive All State championship by 79 points.

“It feels awesome,” Gal-lagher said. “Last year we were the underdogs, and this year it was about holding on to the title. It’s a great feeling.”

Gallagher jumped to the front of the pack as the run-ners rounded the first turn on the 2.9-mile course, and he and teammate Ryan Kel-ley worked their way around challengers until Dourdev-ille charged in the final mile to overtake them. Gallagher sprinted up to Dourdeville as the pair came into the final straightway and the two traded leads until Gallagher crossed the finish line three-tenths of a second in front.

“I didn’t know I won until I was across the line and [the official] yelled, ‘White won,’” Gallagher said. “I saw the D-I race, and I knew they liked to take it out fast, so my first priority was to sprint out into first. He took the lead in the last stretch, and we just went back and forth. It was such a relief when they said white.”

“We talked about scenari-os, and that was definitely one of them,” head coach Greg Zopatti said of Dourdeville’s challenge. “We want to save some energy obviously for next week, but I wasn’t going to take an opportunity away from Wes. He showed what you are going to see a lot of over the next two years. He ran fantastic today.”

Kelley took third overall, finishing seven seconds be-hind Gallagher in 12 minutes and 27 seconds with fellow captain Brendan Adams tak-ing sixth in 14:43. Unlike the

Northfield Mountain course, with its steep inclines and downhill slopes, where the Titans won All States last year, the Gardner course was unre-lenting, according to Adams.

“It’s similar, but that one has a lot more rolling hills,” Adams said. “Right when you go down one hill, you’re go-ing up another. Even the finish is one gradual uphill, but I feel like I ran well and it feels great to be state champs again.”

Fellow captain Ryan Mo-ran took 22nd overall to come in fourth for the Titans, and freshman Christian Stafford finished fifth in 31st place, two ahead of junior Joe Vercollone. Stafford did not run at the Eastern Mass’ championship last week, and Zopatti said it is a testament to the depth of the team that he could slide Stafford in this week without the team skipping a beat.

“It definitely highlights what we have,” Zopatti said. “Stafford ran out of his mind. The whole team, one through seven, I thought ran well. I’m sure JoJo is not too happy, but he is a competitor and he’ll be ready next week.”

Senior Mike DiTocco, an-other new addition for the All State race, was the team’s sev-enth runner and finished 149th in 16:40.

The Titans now head to the regional championship next Saturday at Bowdoin Park in

New York. The team is ranked second, but Zopatti said, while they are confident, anything can happen with so many elite teams on one course.

“There are going to be a lot of teams, and it’s going to be a dogfight,” he said. “This has been their goal all along, and I feel pretty good.”

If the Titans can win or take second at Regionals, they will move on to the Nike Na-tionals in Portland, Ore. a goal Adams said the team is sure they can achieve.

“We’re very confident,” he said. “We conserved some en-ergy, and the goal is to come in first or second.”
