What is the Meals on Wheels program? Who is eligible? It is for people who cannot get out of their house or have some type of situa-tion, such as a disability or some type of distress, they do not have to be senior citi-zens. It is so they can have a hot meal. It is also to look into some people to make sure they are OK. We also have some people who come here (to the Pembroke Coun-cil on Aging) for their meals. The people who come here can either drive themselves to the Council which is located in the center of town or take one of the Council on Aging buses. If somebody wanted to find out about receiving Meals on Wheels, they would contact Old Colony Elder Services. A social worker from OCES would interview them and go from there.

The drivers are so impor-tant to the program. They are wonderful and do so much for the people we serve. We have approximately 13 drivers, the number can vary. The drivers let me know if something if not right with somebody. I can then report it to the social ser-vices who can check into it.

We have a food service which provides the meals of us. The program is pretty much everywhere and uses many different people. Lind-sey’s from West Bridgewater services us.

A few days during this past winter, we did close because

the weather was so bad. Oth-erwise it is just like the mail-man, it can rain, snow or sleet, we are still there.

How and why did you get involved?

I had worked for 20 years Plymouth County Hospital in Hanson. When they closed, I started looking for a job and found this and have been here for 10 years. It was like the job was beckoning me. I kept seeing it advertised in the pa-

per and it drew me into it. This is close by my home and hav-ing worked in food service at the hospital, it was something I was comfortable doing.

How could somebody help? What type of assis-tance do you need?

Just come in and say “I would like to volunteer!” There are different things we need. Drivers can come and go and we can always use back up drivers. We also have other things they could help with in the office. Just come on in and see what is available. Our vol-unteers are very special, won-derful people to want to help others out. You get more out of it than you put into it.

What do you think is of most concern to our seniors? The thing that is scaring peo-ple is the insurance. It is really horrifying them. It is also the cost of oil. We have had good help from the selectmen who have helped kept this place to-gether. Lew Stone is very ac-tive and has done a good job. He has really helped us out.

Do you have any memo-rable stories since you have been involved? It is every day that I come to work, just being with these people, the home delivery. That is why my driv-ers do it. Just a thank you from the people they service is all they need.

The Meals on Wheels program was created to provide hot, nutritious meals to our seniors nationwide. Sadly, in many cases, this may be the only time some of our

elder citizens receive a solid meal or human interaction. Locally, the service is provided by Old Colony Elder Services of Brock-ton, which works through the Council on Aging. The nutrition site manager for the program, Mary Ellis, is the driving force behind making sure the seniors in Pembroke are taken care of. A Hanson resident of nearly 40 years, Ellis’ sharp wit and posi-tive attitude help make Pembroke’s program successful.

They’re on a missionBy Mikaela Slaney, expreSS Staff

[email protected]

Parents, students and fac-ulty are on a mission to de-velop a new mission statement for Pembroke High School.

They’ve been asking them-selves, “What Do We Believe about Educating Children at Pembroke High School?”

Last week, they put those ideas on paper.

Four groups of parents, teachers and several high school students discussed the school’s future at the Pem-broke High School goals workshop March 2 at the Pem-broke High School library. They discussed their vision of how the school system should be, and what they believe stu-dents needs from Pembroke’s school system.

At one discussion table, Pembroke resident Carol Con-nolly discussed an idealic view of Pembroke school pride, with students attending sport-ing matches to root on their peers, and a general feeling of pride in their alma mater. She said some of that is missing in Pembroke.

“I had a letter jacket and I was so proud to wear it,” Ellen Davinsen said. “And I still have it in my closet … we haven’t quite gotten there yet.”

But Pembroke resident Doug Lyons, who has chil-dren in the school system, said Pembroke students are already involved and interested in

sports and other after school programs.

“Kids are in the band and also play football,” Lyons said. “In our day, kids didn’t do that.”

Pembroke High School senior Erin Graceffa, 17, said that while students are accept-ing of all of their peers, there are groups that continuously sit together at lunch. Though she said it is not an intentional segregation process against different groups, but rather that friends tend to sit together.

Several parents at the discussion agreed that their children were spending many hours doing homework, which for athletes, meant staying up until past midnight sometimes.The parents asked themselves whether Pembroke High School challenges each stu-dent in a way that is still fair to them.

Graceffa, who attends mostly Advanced Placement (AP) classes, said the curricu-lum at the high school is dif-ficult for AP students, though not for lesser classes. She said the curriculum should be chal-lenging for everyone.

Pembroke High School history teacher Ryan Kauf-man, who lead one of the dis-cussions, said parents, students and faculty plan to continue

their discussions and eventu-ally combine their ideas until a final mission statement is cre-ated for PHS.

It has been five years since Pembroke High School devel-oped a mission statement, ac-cording to a release from PHS faculty.

Goals workshop focuses on vision for schools

Participants brainstormed ideas and took notes on the best prac-tices for Pembroke students.

Parents, teachers and students at the goals workshop last week discuss what goals should be important the students at Pembroke High School. Above, history teacher Ryan Kougman displays their work.

LaMarre and Johnson were recognized by the school com-mittee for their achievements Tuesday night, though they will also be recognized at their high school in June.

“It’s a great school and I’ve definitely got the oppor-tunity to study… it’s been a great time,” LaMarre said.

LaMarre is also the school’s first ever finalist for a National Merrit scholarship, according to high school prin-cipal Ruth Lynch.

“Pembroke High School has been great for us,” added Johnson. “We have the op-portunities to do whatever we want.”

Both participate in Ad-vanced Placement high school classes, both have played soc-cer for the high school and the town, been on the same indoor soccer team for eight years, members of the National Hon-or Society and Mathletes, as

well as runners of the cross country, indoor and spring track teams.

According to Greg’s moth-er, Terry Johnson, the boys met in kindergarten at North Pem-broke and have been friends ever since.

“We’re excited,” she said. “Both boys are excellent stu-dents as well as highly respect-ed by their peers. Parents Terry and Ken Johnson and Heather LaMarre and Keith LaMarre are very proud of these two boys and their accomplish-ments.”

Though both teens are con-sidering other schools as well,

Terry said they visited their first school, Harvard, on a trip together.

Pembroke man arrested for exposure

A Pembroke man was arrested after a woman at Borders in Hanover reported to po-lice that he had flashed her.

Dana Ladd, 55, of 52 Mill St., Pembroke, was arrested Feb. 17 and arraigned the next day at Hingham District Court. He faces charges of open and gross lewdness.

According to Hanover Lt. Robert Hey-wood, a woman who had been shopping at Borders Express on Washington Street in Ha-nover complained about the incident Feb. 16. Hanover officer David Zemotel arrived a short while later and spoke with the store’s general manger, Heywood said, then contacted the al-leged victim.

“She said she was in a section in the store and he walked by her while exposing himself,” Heywood said. “Through investigation and knowledge of the store we found out it was possibly Mr. Ladd.”

Hanover police then contacted Ladd, who then reported to the Hanover station, where he was interviewed and arrested, Heywood said.

“He tried to explain away what happened, saying it was an accident, but he was coopera-tive, answered questions,” Heywood added.

Heywood added that Hanover police have not had issues with Ladd in the past.

“He was unknown to us,” he said.

Teen linked to Hanover High School vandalism

A Pembroke teen was amongst three teen-age boys who were arrested for allegedly van-dalizing the new Hanover High School.

According to Hanover police Lt. Robert Heywood, he and the other two boys, who live in Hanover, were linked to two alleged inci-dents of vandalism on the inside of the build-ing, which is scheduled to open to Hanover stu-dents in September.

Heywood was amongst the officers who inspected the damage to the building, which construction crew estimated from $40,000 to $50,000, Heywood said Tuesday.

“They broke into the building and spray painted walls, toilets, lockers, broke windows,” he said. “It wasn’t hateful it was just childish.

No racial slurs, no ethnic slurs, it was just obvi-ously kids and not gang related either.”

The teens were each arrested Feb. 26. Be-cause they were each 15-years-old, their names are protected by juvenile laws.

The boys each faces charges of break-ing and entering in the nighttime (which is a felony), malicious damage over $250, tagging, trespassing, conspiracy and vandalism to an educational building.

Two were arraigned at Hingham Juvenile Court, and the third is being arraigned at a later date, Heywood said.

Hanover police received an initial call from construction supervisor working at the school Feb. 24 at 6 a.m., Heywood said.

On Feb. 26, Hanover officer Derek Rich-ards was on patrol when he noticed footprints in the snow leading to the new high school, Heywood said.

“They went through or over a fence that surrounds the construction site and entered through a loading dock area,” Heywood said. “I’m not sure if it was secure or not secure at that time, but they did cross a fence in a closed in area.”

When he saw the footprints, Richards called for backup, Heywood said.

“As he was waiting for backup he noticed lights went on in the second floor and noticed two heads walking by the window,” Heywood added.

He and additional Hanover officers discov-ered two juveniles from Hanover, the Pembroke teen was not with them, Heywood said.

“Further investigation lead us to [the Pem-broke teen],” Heywood said. “He and his father and mother came to the station and he admitted to taking part in the vandalism. All three were remoreseful and apologetic of what they did.”

Town Meeting voters may get a sense of déjà vu when they see article 11 on the war-rant.

The measure, which would give Town Administrator Ed Thorne the ability to sign pay-roll warrants instead of requir-ing the majority of selectmen to sign them, was approved last year, but failed to gain passage in the state legislature.

According to State Rep. Dan Webster, the House first passed the bill July 22, but it failed to advance in the Senate before the legislative session expired in December.

“When the Town Meet-ing acted the article, they for-warded it to my office, and we did get it passed in the House,” Webster said. “I can’t speak for anybody else, but in order for a piece of legislation to pass, it needs to pass at the House and the Senate.”

Webster said that, in order for the bill to be approved, it would need to be voted once again at April’s Town Meet-ing, then it would need to be passed once more at the House and then the Senate. Then it would require a signature from

Gov. Deval Patrick.State Senator Therese

Murray was not immediately available for comment.

Selectman Bill Boulter said the bill was put back on the warrant this year in an ef-fort to facilitate the payroll process, when at least three selectmen are unavailable.

“Originally it was put on a year or so ago because Ed is there every day, on day-to-day operations and if selectmen don’t meet on a Monday night, and the warrants all have to be signed, so if there’s a long weekend and everyone goes away or are out of town, Ed is always there. So if he can sign it that should be fine,” Boulter said.

He added that there have been instances where select-men weren’t available to sign the warrants and the board’s ex-

ecutive assistant Diane Tobin had to track them down.

“They still get paid on time because we go up there and sign them before the pay-roll is printed,” Boulter said. “But it’s a check and balance that Ed is there anyways, and we just made it so he would be able to sign in our absence. It might be more efficient be-cause he knows what’s on the warrant and what the warrant’s all about, but it doesn’t take our right away if we want to go and look at them and make sure that everything that we’re signing is properly done.”

Boulter said he originally had reservations about in-cluding a similar article on last year’s warrant because he thought it would take away the rights of selectmen to review payroll and bills.

When he was assured they would still have those rights, he supported the bill as it moved on to the House, but then failed at the Senate.

“I have no idea why it didn’t move forward, as far as doing it again, evidently somebody must have lost something,” Boulter said.

Selectmen discussed bills being reviewed at the state level, which would alter the voting system so that vot-ers would need identification proving they are voting in the town in which they live.

The board decided to back Sen. Therese Murray and Rep. Dan Webster in these ef-forts, though they questioned whether the bills were created in a way that would hinder the voting process for veritable voters.

“I can’t see backing all these bills that are in here be-cause I don’t support all of them,” said selectmen chair Bill Boulter.

Boulter said board mem-bers had two pages explaining ways to identify voters includ-ing license, social security identification, and birth certifi-cates.

Selectman Lew Stone said a birth certificate would not be a practical means of iden-tification, and there are plenty of voters who are not in poses-sion of a drivers license.

“It shouldn’t take his right to vote away,” agreed Select-man Arthur Boyle. “There should be something like ab-sentee voting.”

Selectman Dan Trabucco

said he supports the identifica-tion process, and believes it is not meant to target one partic-ular group from voting.

“All I want, and all I’m hoping Pembroke wants, is an open and fair voting system,” Trabucco said.

Selectmen discussed send-

ing a letter in support to Web-ster and Murray, but decided that because they had issues with how the bills were being drafted, they would instead table the discussion for two weeks, and then either write a letter, or let the matter die.

A few weeks ago, John and I went out to dinner with some friends. When the waitress

came to our table and asked us how we were doing that evening, John couldn’t wait to say “Fine and dandy, sweet as candy, and how about you?” Without missing a beat the waitress said “Well, I’m finer than a frog’s hair split into thirds.” After the initial shock wore off, the four of us burst out laughing! You see, for the past 20 years or better, John has been using that line and not once has anyone had a comeback. He has always had the last laugh. John finally met his match and every time we think about that evening, we burst out into laughter all over again. And now let’s see what’s going on around town.

Monday night’s Advisory Board meeting focused on the upcoming election and the budget for the remainder of the fiscal year.

Chairman Matthew Mc-Neilly, II and board members Stephen Curley, Gary Fine, Kathy Hassey, James McCol-lum, Marie Peeler, Linda Pe-terson, Thomas Pugliesi and Ann Marie Stanton met with Brian VanRiper, representing the Community Preservation Committee.

VanRiper brought up a proposal for a town-wide trail system, linking trails from the north and south sides of Pem-broke. The proposed system would cost about $45,000 for professional surveyors to map out the trails.

If other projects come up, the proposal may be with-drawn in April, and submitted again in October, according to Van Riper.

“I’ll have to go back to the Planning Board about that, they were the applicant, and see if October might make more sense to move that par-ticular part of the recommen-dation list,” said VanRiper.

VanRiper told the board that Phase I of the Lydia Drake Library will begin this spring, which would replace the vinyl trim with clap board. Phase II of the project, replacing the windows and window trim-mings, will begin sometime after.

“Are we following the historic nature of the building when we’re doing the projects? Because we have a require-ment under the state law that we follow certain standards of preservation,” said McNeilly.

VanRiper told the board that, while some people have questioned if they could make

the building more efficient, “we have to come back with a preservation point of view. We can only use these sorts of materials.”

Van Riper also notified the board about the progress on the Ladies Sewing Circle, which is about 90 percent completed.

“Most of our projects to date are now coming to a point of completion,” said Van Rip-er.

Town Clerk Mary Ann Smith also appeared before the board, to discuss the costs of needed materials for the upcoming elections. Smith requested additional funds for the remainder of the fiscal year.

The town is in the pro-cess of redistricting. Some precincts in the town have changed, requiring post cards to be sent out.

“So what do we get for $1,000 for office supplies?” McNeilly asked, when look-ing at the breakdown of the proposed budget.

In addition to paper, Smith said, “I do have two broken voting machines ... Just to try to update some of my voting equipment that hasn’t been touched probably since it’s been purchased.”

Printing the voter ballots is not cheap either, she said.

“It costs approximately $2,000 to print the ballots,” said Smith.

Smith said that she will check out other alternatives, to see what else is out there.

The board looked at the cost of the annual town cen-sus. About 500 residents had not turned in their census, and the town had to hire temporary employees to knock on each door.

“We’ve cut down from three people knocking on doors, to two,” said Smith.

Some residents are con-fused about the census, she added. According to Smith, many think that they have al-ready completed it, because the federal census was also given.

The state of the streets was also discussed at the meet-ing. According to the board, $315,000 has been set aside to fix some of the town roads.

The money would be used to repair the roads with hot asphalt, not just covering pot-holes.

The repairs would not be-gin until after April 1, when the hot asphalt plants open up for the season.

When Peeler questioned why the plants close between November and April, Peterson explained that hot asphalt will not adhere to the road surface if it’s cold.

In other business:• The board unanimously

approved a request from the town administrator to transfer $579.39 from the reserve fund to cover the costs of winteriz-ing the Town Hall.

• The board unanimously approved the bill for drainage repair in the Town Hall’s park-ing lot, for $1,626.56.

Dull men, not dull news At a recent meeting, members paused for a few mo-

ments of private reflection in honor of long time member George “Vern” Johnson who passed away

on Feb. 14. The club has made a donation to the Friends of the Council on Aging in his memory.

Several of our members are away enjoying the Florida sunshine as the balance of the Dull Men continue to meet to discuss the hot topics of the day. Last week, the discussion of pothole sizes on Pembroke roads topped the list; one member noted that on his street they used a Volkswagen to fill a hole. Other topics of discussion included who was taking out nomi-nation papers for town offices, health care coverage and the best way to eat week old donuts.

On March 23, Town Veterans Agent David McPhillips will speak on benefits available to former armed services person-nel from the Veterans Administration and other sources.

The invitation is always open to try us out. You just might be missing the best Wednesday morning experience in town. Meetings are held every Wednesday 10-11 a.m. in the On Ag-ing Building.

I’ve been so preoccupied with digging out from under all this snow that I just realized that our daylight hours are get-

ting noticeably longer. The increase in daylight hours will soon trigger chickens to start ramp-ing up egg production, so it won’t be long now until we start to seeing more farm-fresh eggs at

the winter farmers market in Plymouth (plymouthfarm-ersmarket.org) and around town.

Eggs are one of the easi-est local foods to obtain – perfect for those of us trying to buy and eat more locally produced foods. Another great thing about local eggs is that they’re actually more

nutritious than the factory-farmed eggs in the grocery stores. Recent studies like the one conducted by Mother Earth News in 2007 are finding that, compared to conventional factory-farmed eggs, eggs from chickens allowed to eat grass, weeds, and bugs (known as free range chickens) are lower in cholesterol and saturated fat and higher in folic acid, omega-3 fatty acids, beta carotene and many other vitamins. Not to mention that they taste better and the yolks are a nice bright orange instead of the pale yellow most of us have gotten used to. Many gourmet chefs are now demanding free-range eggs to cook with.

The eggs available locally from farmers markets and from backyard chicken owners around town are much fresher than grocery store eggs, and of course, the fresher the egg, the better the taste. That said, you might notice that a very fresh, hard-boiled egg is tough to peel. If you intend to hard-boil them, you can get around this problem by storing them in the fridge for a couple days before cooking.

Eggs are probably one of the most versatile ingredients to cook with. One of my favorite things to do when I have a lot of eggs (and this does happen because I’m incapable of passing up a cooler by the side of the road with a sign that reads “farm fresh eggs”) is to make a frit-tata, which is an Italian omelette started on the stovetop and finished up in the oven or under the broiler. You can add any type of veggies, mushrooms, cheese, or meat you like. This one

has potatoes and sausage, but feel free to substi-tute ingredients you have on hand.

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil3-oz package sausage, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced (chirizo is delicious!)1/2 red onion, dicedsalt and pepper1 large potato, peeled and cubed 6 large eggs1/4 lb. shredded mozzarella

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees. In a medium ovenproof skillet (I love my cast iron skillet for this recipe) heat about a tablespoon of the olive oil over medium heat. Put in the chorizo, followed by the onion and brown for about six minutes. Remove this mixture from the skillet with a slotted spoon, put it in a bowl and set aside. Now add another glug of the ol-ive oil and throw in your potato cubes and some salt and pepper. Stir them around, still over medium heat, for about eight minutes. Now put the chorizo and onions back in the skillet. Beat the eggs in a bowl and pour them over the chorizo, onions, and potatoes. Sprinkle with more salt, pepper, and about half the cheese. At this point, stop stirring and just let it cook for about two minutes, still over medium heat, until the eggs start to set. Now transfer the skillet to the 375-degree oven and bake 6-8 minutes until the whole thing is just set. Turn on your broiler and let it preheat. In the meantime, sprinkle the remainder of the cheese on top and pop the skillet under the broiler for a couple minutes to brown the cheese. Don’t walk away from it at this point - this part goes fast! Take it out and let it rest for about five minutes so it will slice cleanly. Slice, serve, and enjoy!

Lisa works full-time in the environmental field, but would rather be baking, gardening, crafting, and taking care of the animals on her 1/3-acre Pembroke homestead.

Post 143 to host luncheon for vets

Arthur Briggs Church American Legion Post No. 143 will host an Italian lun-cheon for about 20 veterans from the Brockton VA Hospi-tal on March 12 at the Bryant-ville Meeting House.

Many of the veterans who have been invited are from the spinal cord injury unit. The af-ternoon will be spent playing bingo and other games with door prizes and goodie bags provided by the Legion.

At the last meeting Patrick Wall, who is attending Temple University in Philadelphia, was selected to receive the Post’s annual scholarship. Patrick is the son of Post member Rick Wall and grandson of member Bill Wall and Auxiliary mem-ber Irma Wall.

The Post and Auxiliary will sponsor several high school juniors from Pembroke to attend the Legion Boys State and Girls State Programs again this year. Those who are interested should contact the high school guidance coun-cilor for an application.

For more information on these programs, you may also contact Mark Moneypenny at 781 294-8499 (Boys State) and Irma Wall at 781 293-2287 (Girls State).

The Legion Post will be working with Eagle Scout candidate David Lopes and several community groups to renovate Memorial Park on the Town Green.

Commander Wayne Wood-ward appointed a committee with Andy Pongratz as chair-man to spearhead the project. The committee will be selling engraved bricks that will used to replace the walkways and finance other improvements at the park.

Sharron Zervos Wampatuck Street

community more involved in the recycling process.”

Zeoli is a mother of three Bryantville Elementary School students, and Savage is a mother of two students at North Pembroke Elementary School.

All of the money raised at Casablanca Night benefit-ted the Pembroke Education Foundation, a group that helps to provide funding for pro-grams and technology that is not covered in Pembroke’s school department budget.

“We come every year, girl’s night out,” Zeoli said. “I love it. I love to have fun while paying for a good cause.”

When not at the blackjack table, the two friends also par-ticipated in a silent auction and raffle giveaway, with prizes including an HP touchscreen desktop computer valued at $1,700, donated by Staples, a baseball signed by Ted Wil-liams, a summer camp entry, kids sports birthday party at South Shore Field House, enormous sneakers worn and signed by Shaquille O’Neal, Twilight memoribilia, a hel-met and numerous gift certifi-cates to local restaurants and stores.

“Due to the generous do-nations of lots of local busi-nesses, we reached our all-time goals in donations,” said Pem-broke Education Foundation co-chair Tracy Garvey. “We have amazing raffle items and the most exciting live auctions that we’ve ever had before.”

Pembroke Education Foundation co-chair Kelly Ross noted that the event drew the crowd that they had been hoping for.

“Teachers and administra-tors alike showed up to lend a hand,” Ross said. “What an amazing display of all around

Pembroke support. You’ve got people here from town man-agers and administrators to people from out of town and parents. It’s just a great event that brought people together. It’s old, young, single and couples.”

Tickets were $30 per per-son, and school committee members, teachers and other volunteers worked the poker tables.

Ross said the Casablanca Night fundraiser is PEF’s main fundraiser, generating more funds for the organization than any other.

due to calls from police, or workers reporting to work on Saturdays to keep up with re-pairs.

The DPW has been using a cold asphalt mix that is not as durable, Fulmine said.

“It’s a losing battle,” he told selectmen.

“We try to keep everyone happy but sometimes it’s an impossible task,” added DPW commissioner James Kilcom-mons.

The DPW has purchased a more durable hot mix from the T.L. Edwards Plant in Plym-

outh in the past, however the plant is closed until April 1.

Fulmine has submitted an Article for special Town Meet-ing asking for a $320,000 ap-propriation to fund hot mix repairs to the largest affected areas of Routes 27, 36 and Barker Street. Pembroke resi-dents will vote on the article April 26.

He added later that if the article does not pass at Town Meeting, the DPW would con-tinue to do smaller repairs with their remaining budget.

“We’ll plug away at the other ones like normally,” he

said.Fulmine said he plans to

ask Duxbury DPW workers if he can borrow their hot box one day per week to start hot mix asphalt patching of pot holes when the T. L. Edwards Plant opens up again.

Selectman Gregory Han-ley pressed for quick action.

“This is of the essence, you want to get it done as quickly as you can,” he said.

The Whitman-Hanson/Pembroke girls hockey team neutralized Fontbonne Acad-emy’s top scorers for most of their first-round playoff game, but the Ducks just had too many weapons for WHP.

Freshman Shannon McIsaac scored twice in the first period for the Ducks, who eliminated WHP with a 4-0 win at the Shea Ice Arena in Quincy on Thursday.

“It was a great game, and they should hold their heads up high,” head coach Joe Coulter said of his team. “They gave 100 percent effort; we just fell a little short.”

WHP was determined not to let Fontbonne’s senior captain Taylor Shepherd beat them, and Krystal Barnard marked her for most of the

game. Even with Shepherd out of the action, the Ducks peppered WHP goalie Kelly Travers with shots but couldn’t break through until McIsaac got open in front of the net and slid the puck under Travers at the 5:13 mark. McIsaac found another crack in the WHP de-fense minutes later and put the Ducks up 2-0 on a similar goal after taking a feed from the face-off circle at the corner of the net.

“They’re a very talented team,” Coulter said. “Krystal did a great job shutting [Shep-herd] down. We were able to control her, but they pulled some surprises on us. One of these days, we’re going to get them.”

WHP started the second period short-handed, and Erin McLoughlin took advantage with a power-play goal in the first minute to make it 3-0 Ducks. Shepherd added one of her own with a quick shot off a faceoff with 4:30 left to play in the second period to round out

the scoring. Coulter also gave credit to

his goalie for keeping WHP in the game. Travers made 44 saves in the game to keep the score close.

“She played a great game,” he said. “She made some saves out there that [Bruins goalie

Tuuka] Rask is still looking at and dreams about. She’s been the anchor of the team all sea-son. She’s a great goalie, she has great mechanics and she’s a good kid.”

While Fontbonne out-shot WHP, they did have their chances at the other end of

the ice. Fontbonne goalie Lan Crofton stopped one-on-one shots by Jane Morrisette, Alex Davis and Jackie Sullivan in the first and second periods, and she denied Barnard and Kristy Kennedy in the third.

Seniors Kennedy, Davis, Travers, Barnard and Tricia Stacy all played their final game for WHP and are the last remaining players from the inaugural WHP team of 2007-08. Coulter said all five players will be missed and made a lasting impact on the program.

“They’re part of history and there is a lot of emotion [in the locker room] right now,” he said. “They are clos-ing a chapter right now, but they’re moving on to college and opening another chapter. They’ve been here since day one, and they’ve been great team leaders.”

While it was a sad farewell for the seniors, Coulter is also excited about the future of the program. Kelsey Murray was the only junior who dressed for WHP this season, and the team will also return with five underclassmen next year.

“We had the kid line out there at the start of the third period,” he said. “We had Jane Morrisette at center, So-phie [Nogueira] on one wing and Michaela [McIsaac] on the other wing, and they’re all freshmen. It’s a lot of fun to watch and they’re going to be very interesting next year.”

Arthur Boyle wins Sherman A. Kinney AwardPembroke selectman recognized by MIAA for contributing to high school sports

by mikaela slaney, exPress staff [email protected]

Several weeks ago, Select-man Arthur Boyle received a call from his friend Tony Ro-mano, assistant director of the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association (MIAA).

The MIAA is an organiza-tion that sponsors high school sports, and Boyle has been a member of the MIAA state basketball committee for 15 years, as well as the state sec-retary for 10 years.

So when Boyle got the call, he figured Romano would be asking his opinion on who should be this year’s recipi-ent of the Sherman A. Kinney Award for Massachusetts.

“And he said, ‘Oh no, we’ve already selected some-body,’” Boyle said Tuesday. “And it was me.”

The Kinney Award is cho-sen based on contributions to high school athletics for boys and girls and in particular for promoting the game of basket-ball and good sportsmanship.

There will be an award ceremony for Boyle Tuesday evening, March 14, at the TD Bank Garden at half court be-fore the Division 1 Boys East-ern Massachusetts Champion-ship game.

Boyle said his wife, chil-dren and grandchildren and several of his friends are plan-ning to go.

“This is such a thrill,” he said.

Boyle is also a sports broadcaster for WATD radio, and has been the broadcast partner of Bill Wilhelm, “the legendary voice of South Shore sports” for the past 14 years at WATD.

Wilhelm nominated Boyle for the award, Romano said.

Wilhelm was there when Boyle first became involved with broadcasting.

“It was by accident,” Boyle said. “I was asked to fill in one night because I was at a Silver Lake game. Bill was broad-casting and his color commen-tator had the flu and he needed someone who knew the kids and knew the game, and that

turned into 14 years.”The longtime award was

created in memory of Sherm Kinney, a former MIAA full-time assistant executive direc-tor, and formerly a member of the Hamilton-Wenham school district.

“We give it out only to one, and we have a good list of nominees that sit in the file,” Romano said. “We have a screening committee that re-

views these annually.”Romano said that, as a

member of the MIAA sport committee for basketball, Boyle helped to make key decisions such as new sports rules and which schools would be included in which division.

“He’s been a key, serious contributor; he is the kind of person that whenever the topic comes up, he does his home-work and he gives an infor-mative opinion on whatever the issue might be,” Romano said.

Boyle said he first became interested in basketball as a child, and it is a lifelong pas-sion for him.

“We played it as kids; my dad was a high school coach,” Boyle said. “We grew up in the gym, my brothers and I, and WATD has just given us a chance to continue being in-volved at the high school lev-el. [I’ll continue] for however long WATD lets us. It’s fun, there’s a lot of energy among high school students. It’s pure. The pro athletes are all about the name on the back of the shirt, rather than the front. High school kids still treat it like a team sport.”

Chris Waterfield, Matt Sheehan and Paul Tower know this is their last chance to win a South Sectional champion-ship, and Pembroke’s three senior captains aren’t going to let that chance slip away with-out a fight.

After combining for nine goals and four assists in Pem-broke’s preliminary round win over Somerset, the senior line led the Titans to a 5-0 win at Nantucket on Friday with four goals and six assists and com-bined for four more goals and five more assists in Pembroke’s 9-0 win over the Bishop Fee-han Shamrocks in Bourne on Sunday.

Sheehan picked up a hat trick with two goals in less than one minute in the second period after scoring in the final minute of the first to go with one assist, and Tower scored in the first off a pass from Wa-terfield, who also assisted on all of Sheehan’s goals.

“Those guys are four-year varsity players and I think it’s really showing,” head coach Mark Duffy said. “They’ve been in the tournament for years in a row, they know this is their last hurrah and their

play right now has just had a huge impact on this team. They are just leading by ex-ample.”

The Titans took control of the game early, but struggled with their accuracy until Vil-lari’s backhander trickled through the five-hole of the Bishop Feehan goalie near the nine-minute mark in the first. Closing in on three minutes to play, Tower was tripped from behind by a Feehan defender on a breakaway, but got back to his feet and crashed the net in time to poke in the rebound off a shot by Sheehan, who was trailing the play.

Sheehan scored with a slap shot into the top right corner of the net with 48 seconds to play in the period, and then made it a 4-0 game 2:50 into the sec-ond with a power-play goal. Forty seconds later, Sheehan fired a shot on net that redi-rected off a Feehan defender and in to pick up his hat trick.

Less than 30 seconds later, Tom Cahill wedged a shot be-tween the Feehan goalie and the post to run the score to 6-0 and force the Shamrocks to change goalies. The change in goal did little to stop the Pembroke onslaught as Pat Heffernan scored off a quick pass from Nick Burns, Cahill scored off a backhander less than a minute later and Villari wristed one high into the net before the period was over.

“We had goals from all of our lines tonight,” Duffy said. “If we can get a balanced at-tack like that and get every-

body playing to their potential, we should go deep into the tournament.”

Duffy also praised his team’s defense and goalie Kyle Jacobs, who were on their game at the other. The de-fense held Feehan to 21 shots

to Pembroke’s 35 and Jacobs was there to make every save and pick up his second shutout of the tournament.

“Kyle again came up with some big saves back there, and I thought our defense played a very strong game again clear-

ing rebounds,” Duffy said. “All around, it was a really solid team effort.”

The Titans will play Med-field on Thursday for a chance to play the winner of Scituate and Westwood for the champi-onship.

New York state of mindTitans 4x4 takes second at New Englands, Nationals next

by Dave Palana, sPorts eDitor [email protected]

Things are shaping up for an interesting weekend for the Pembroke girls track 4x400 re-lay team as they head to New York City for the New Balance Indoor Nationals.

The Titans broke four minutes for the second week in a row at the New England Championships at the Reg-gie Lewis Center on Friday, running a time of 3:58.59 to take second to the team from Bloomfield, Conn.

“It was an awesome day,” head coach Greg Zopatti said. “We definitely wanted a win, but the girls are excited about next week and they think they can run even better.”

The Titans were not 100 percent for the race, with lead runner Becky Stoyle coming directly from the long jump and anchor Mary Scanlan bat-tling illness all week, but Mi-chelle Coate and Michaela Ng both ran personal best times to pick up their teammates and keep the Titans on track for a

potential medal next week. “Michaela ran outstand-

ing, and Michelle is rolling right now,” Zopatti said.

Stoyle also medaled in the long jump, where she took fourth with a leap of 17 feet, 6.25 inches. Stoyle will just be running the 4x4 at Nation-als next week, but Zopatti said his senior captain has become a more consistent jumper this winter despite having to train without a long jump pit for most of the winter due to the weather.

“She and Coach [Jim] Rooney have done a lot of work this winter, and if they had a few more days outside without all the snow, I think she could have done even bet-ter,” Zopatti said. “We really think she is on track to do some special things this spring.”

Stoyle, Scanlan and Coate all ran at Nationals last winter, competing in the spring med-ley with then senior captain Teresa Fatemi. Stoyle moved up from the 200 meters to run the 4x4, while Scanlan moved

down for the 600, and Zopatti said the group hasn’t skipped a beat with Ng added to the mix.

“Michaela might be the best [400 runner] of them all,” he said. “She’s starting to get more confident as a runner, and Mary, Michelle and Becky have really been great at help-ing her at that. She’s going to have to be a big time leader for us next year, and she is re-ally starting to go in that direc-tion.”

Pembroke’s best time of the season has them on the cusp of a medal performance as they head to New York for Nationals. But with Stoyle fo-cusing on just one event and Scanlan healthy, Zopatti said the team is confident they can turn in their best performance of the year.

“We have a shot at mak-ing the top six [at Nationals], which would be very gratify-ing for these girls,” he said. “We’re pretty excited and it should be a lot of fun.”
