pembroke express 08_27_2010

By Becca Manning, express staff [email protected]

As Pembroke kids fill up their backpacks and give their summer reading one last push, the staff of Pembroke Public Schools is

busy getting the buildings ready in preparation for the 2010-11 school year.

For some, that means settling into a new class-room or position — there are several new teachers and staff across the district including new Head of Guidance James Ash, Buildings and Grounds Manager Bob Flynn and Director of Finance and Operations Erin Sullivan-Obey.

Along with clean classrooms, shiny floors and the occasional fresh coat of paint, students will be seeing a few other changes when they return to school next Tuesday. (Kindergart-ners go back a week later, on Sept. 7.) At Hobomock Elementary School, school will start later, at 8:30 a.m., aligning it with Bryantville Elementary School. Pembroke Community Middle School and Pembroke High School students also may get a few more min-utes of sleep, as school will start 15 minutes later at 7:30 and 7:40 a.m., respectively.

Twenty years after the town landfill stopped taking trash, plans to finally close the site are nearly complete. But one resident is wondering what will happen in another 20 years if Pembroke chooses to “cap” the land instead of trying to get rid of what’s underneath.

Jim McCollum appeared before selectmen Monday night asking them to consider mining the town landfill on Hobomock Street — selling off usable scrap metal and get-ting rid of everything else — rather than capping the site

with soil and other materials and leaving the land with lim-ited use.

“What we’re doing is building a $2.5 million monu-ment to garbage,” McCollum said. “There is value in that landfill to help offset the cost of mining it and getting it out of town so we have that full 35-acre site returned to com-mission.”

Though the property is about 35 acres, only about 19 acres are actual landfill.

The discussion Monday was centered on a nearly com-pleted plan to “cap” the landfill

New staff, start times at Pembroke Public Schools


Department of Public Works commissioners are ask-ing residents to support their efforts to clean up an old gravel pit on Monroe Street, including a plan to crush materials stored there once before moving them out completely and returning the property to the town.

Commissioners presented their updated plans Tuesday night, almost three months after they withdrew a request

with the Zoning Board of Ap-peals for a variance to do the work. The meeting drew about a dozen people. Almost 80 people attended the initial ZBA hearing in May.

On Tuesday, chairman Jim Kilcommons said the commis-sion would check with town counsel to make sure they needed ZBA approval, but that they wanted to make sure resi-dents knew in advance what

A visit with Frank HackettBy Becca Manning, express staff

[email protected]

With the 2010-11 school year set to begin next

week, the Express sat down with Superintendent Frank Hackett to talk about what’s new and different at Pembroke Public Schools this fall.

Last year, you curbed costs in anticipation of a tough budget cycle. Are those same steps in place this year? I have felt, along with others, that FY12 was going to be the biggest challenge because it’s really not clear how well the economy’s recovering or if we might see a double-dip reces-sion. We’re in good condition for FY11; the question really is what’s the revenue going to look like in FY12. If we take the kind of state aid reduction in FY12 that we took in FY11 and the stimulus money’s gone and there’s no additional money, it’s going to be really tough. There are only so many efficiencies that you can gain. We’ve been very fortunate to not have to make reduc-tions. We’ve reduced in other places strategically in order to be able to fund things that we think will be in the best inter-est of the students. I am cau-tiously optimistic about FY12, but if the revenues don’t come, we’re going to have to make some tough decisions.

What new staff positions do you have this year? We’re excited about the technology position at the high school. Christopher Connors is coming to us from Duxbury; he’s been there for a while and he has great connections with MIT. We also have David Lemée at the middle school, so now we really have a 7-12 technology component to our curriculum, which we haven’t had for quite some time. For kids who are on the cusp, where they want to go to a vocational school but don’t want to leave Pembroke High School, it gives us one more strand of our curriculum where those kids can explore their interests.

What kind of classes will he be offering? This year,

he’s building a program from scratch, but as we go forward the goal would be for him to reach out to other content ar-eas at the high school so we can look to see if there are op-portunities for integration of that kind of technology. We’re also having conversations about whether he will develop a required course for all kids. Right now it’s just elective. Maybe for the following year, it will be a two-year deal where freshman and sophomore year they would have a required technology credit as part of their graduation requirements.

What is your goal with the guidance program? James Ash is our new 7-12 director of guidance. We’ve expanded the role to go from the middle school to the high school to help with the transi-tion piece.

Our main focus with guid-ance is career and college counseling. That’s where we spend the bulk of our time. We also work with social programs. The anti-bullying legislation is with us, and the guidance department will be a big piece of implementing that. But it’s mainly career counseling. Expanding him [Ash] in the supervisory role in the seventh grade allows us to have better communication with the middle school. I think

it’s much improved, but it still isn’t as strong as where we need to be, so that the transi-tion from eighth grade to ninth grade is smoother for every-body.

We also added a guidance position to the middle school. We originally had two, we dropped down to one, and now we’re back to two this year again. Jim Shannon, who was a high school counselor, took that position at the middle school, so that’s helpful too to have someone who knows what those kids are going to experience when they get to Pembroke High School, now working at the middle school.

We’ve made a big stride with hires in the 7-12 leader-ship component to really hone in on the college and work process, transitioning kids not only from the middle school to the high school but also for career and college.

You also added an ele-mentary school math coach. What will that person do? We’ve done a lot of work in math. We’ve done the exit standards by grade level and we’ve made some significant purchases of textbooks, so for grades 3-12 we are with the same publisher and the same program. Now the focus needs to be on instruction. We re-ally wanted to have someone who can go in and work with teachers on teaching math. It’s not designed to be a student support position; it’s more of a professional development position.

There also was a recent change in custodial services. Yes, we’ve added a buildings and grounds manager. We didn’t fill two custodial posi-tions last year, which helped us to get into this year and to fund this position. We decided the focus should be on leadership of the custodians and mainte-nance department. We hired Bobby Flynn, who was the athletic custodian at the high school, for the position. He’ll be in charge of all schools, all custodian supervision, evalua-tion and support and also out-door maintenance.

Pembroke police will be taking a closer look at circus and carnival employees who work events in Pembroke, Po-lice Chief Michael Ohrenberg-er said Monday.

Every company that orga-nizes a traveling show must register with the Mass. Depart-ment of Public Safety, which looks at the safety of their equipment and employee con-ditions and also requires the company to provide a list of employees, Ohrenberger said. Previously, local police relied on that state department to check the backgrounds of all carnival employees.

Now Pembroke police will be involved in the screen-ing process, Ohrenberger said. Though police do not have the authority to run CORI checks on people without cause, they can request an up-to-date list of employee names from the company and work more closely with the state.

“We’ll do a check with the Department of Public Safety to ensure they’re doing their end of it and if we should have any concerns here in Pembroke. If we need to initiate a criminal investigation, we will do so,” he said. “[Next spring] we’ll be better educated and better able to handle any inquiries about the safety of those organiza-tions coming into Pembroke.”

The two main events in-volving out-of-town workers are the Old Home Days Fair at First Church and the Kelly Miller Circus. The question of how these employees are mon-itored came up not because of a major incident but as a general question, according to Board of Health member Lisa Cullity.

She said a circus company that used the community center property about five years ago had left the site a mess and led some residents to question who checks into these shows.

“This is just an instance of being proactive, that we should let these organizations know that we are going to check their status and we are making sure their employment records are accurate,” she said.

Recreation Commission member Matt Newman said the board had checked all of Kelly Miller’s references and checked with other area towns that had hosted the circus be-fore allowing the company to come to Pembroke.

“I personally think they were very through and proac-tive and worked with us,” he said. “But I understand the importance of safety to the town.”

Also Monday, selectmen granted an earth removal per-mit to John Tedeschi and his development team for a project

at 242-246 Washington Street. Tedeschi was requesting

permission to remove 5,800 cubic yards of sand and gravel from the southeast corner of the property. He plans to reno-vate the site, which formerly housed a car dealership, with six storage buildings in the back and a retail/office build-ing in the front. The project has Planning Board approval.

Tedeschi said he planned to remove the materials over 30 days, with about seven to 10 trucks per day (less than a truck per hour) traveling from the site.

He agreed to limit work to 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and to avoid residential streets in North Pembroke where selectmen previously have prohibited or advised against truck traffic. Tedeschi also said he would be willing to work with the town to sell the materials at a low rate for use at the Mattakeesett Street ball fields for parking or in capping the town landfill.

The board also heard from resident Joan Sem, who was concerned about the conditions of the town’s animal shelter. Sem said she was interested in setting up a Friends of the Pembroke Animal Shelter to help run the shelter but that some volunteers were reluctant to work with Animal Control Officer Bill Hart.

Selectmen said they did not want to discuss Hart with-out him there. They agreed to look into the issue and to check on the shelter conditions.

Also Monday, the board appointed Town Administra-tor Ed Thorne to the Metro-politan Area Planning Council and Selectman Lew Stone to the council as an alternate; ap-pointed Patricia Merritt to the Town Landing Committee; and appointed Michael Kirby to the Community Preserva-tion Committee.

POLiCe & COuRT BRieFSThree bikes stolen; one recovered

Three bikes were reported missing from Pembroke homes last week, with one bike re-covered a short time later.

Police were called to a Furnace Lane home last Wednesday by a resident who said that a white and brown bike valued at $150 and a black BMX bike valued at $500 were taken from the front yard. A neighbor reported seeing a teenage male in the area. Police were able to match the description to a familiar person and went to that person’s house but could not locate the bikes, according to reports.

Police returned to the home several hours later and questioned the teen, who allegedly said he didn’t take the bikes but knew where they were. Police recovered the BMX bike at a Linda Road home but have not located the second bike.

On Thursday, Aug. 19, police were called to Maquan Street, where the resident reported that a black BMX bike had been taken. A witness again described a person who matched the teen-ager questioned in the first theft. Police returned to his home and, when questioned, the teen said the bike was “with a friend” but could not tell police the friend’s name, telephone number or address, according to police reports.

The teen has not been charged in either in-cident. Police are investigating.

Man charged with attempted murder in domestic case

A local man is facing attempted murder and assault charges after he allegedly tried to choke his girlfriend at their Harvard Street home Sun-day night.

Pembroke police were called to the resi-dence around 11:30 p.m. Sunday. The female resident told police she had been asleep on the couch when her boyfriend returned home, ap-parently drunk, and began to beat up on her, punching her and kicking her multiple times before grabbing her around the throat so tightly that she couldn’t breathe. The woman said she did not know whether she had blacked out, ac-cording to reports.

The man, Robert J. Barker, 44, eventually released the woman and left the home before police arrived. He was later arrested and charged with attempted murder, assault and battery and assault and battery with a dangerous weapon (a shod foot).

Rash of motor vehicle break-ins reported

Police are investigating a rash of vehicle break-ins that was discovered last Wednesday morning in the Hill Farm Road area. A number of items were taken from the vehicles, includ-ing GPS units, an iPod Touch and an iPhone. At least seven vehicles on Hill Farm Road, Baltzer Drive and Peach Tree Way were broken into. All of them were parked outside residences and were left unlocked, according to Pembroke Po-lice Lt. Mike Jenness.

Print reproductions of watercolor paintings featur-ing Pembroke landmarks now are available for residents to purchase. Done by local art-ist Becky Haletky, the paint-ings are purchased each year through a Pembroke Cultural Council grant and feature local sites including the Adah Hall House, Lydia Drake Library, War Memorial and Historical Society Museum, Herring Run park and Hexagon House.

Each image costs $40 and is available as an unframed color print that will fit into an 8 1/2-by-11-inch mat and an 11-by-14-inch frame (frames and mats not included). A por-tion of the proceeds will go to the 300th Anniversary Com-mittee to be used for events celebrating Pembroke’s 300th anniversary in 2012.

Prints are available through the town clerk’s office at Town Hall. All orders must be pre-paid, and checks should be made payable to the Town of Pembroke (Pembroke Cultural Council in the memo line). For information, call Diane Tobin at 781-293-3844.

By Jenn Miller, special to the express

On Sunday, Aug. 15, JettRiders hit the 3,000-mile plateau

on their 3,800-mile bike ride across America.

Last week, the JettRid-ers were busy making their way through Illinois, Indiana and Ohio staying at churches, meeting with mayors and local residents, giving presentations and spreading their message. Staying at churches has been a great break from camping for the riders. Air-conditioning, showers and great hospitality from local residents has been a nice change.

They had a day off in Cin-cinnati, Ohio on Aug. 14, where they went to the zoo, and now they will not have a day off un-til they cross the finish line on their journey to end Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

The excitement and adren-aline for the finish line in Point Pleasant, N.J. on Aug. 27 is starting to build, and the rid-ers are ahead of schedule. This past week, they have been riding through West Virginia and Maryland and now are in Pennsylvania for a few days before making it to New Jer-sey. JettRiders are really look-ing forward to seeing their loved ones and getting home, although they may not be look-ing forward to school.

On Thursday, Aug. 26, JettRiders will be doing a proclamation with the mayor at the Liberty Bell. Friday is the big finish. JettRiders will be escorted by police and some 2007 JettRiders and cross the finish line around noon on the boardwalk in Point Pleasant, N.J.

JettRiders began their jour-ney by dipping their bike tires in the Pacific Ocean and they will end it by dipping their tires in the Atlantic Ocean.

This has been a journey of a lifetime for these incredible young people, and even though it wasn’t always easy — en-during high temperatures, ac-cidents and even losing loved ones back home — they kept riding. They rode for all those who can’t ride themselves.

It has been an amazing journey. JettRiders have met some incredible people and had some life-changing expe-riences during their summer

on the road raising awareness for Duchenne muscular dystro-phy.

Pembroke residents Stephen and Christine McSherry) or to learn about Duchenne muscu-lar dystrophy, visit jettfounda-tion.org.

The Massachusetts Audu- ➢bon Society reported there were eight great egrets, 10 semipal-mated plovers, 15 lesser yellow-legs, three solitary sandpipers, 40 semipalmated sandpipers, 30 least sandpipers, eight pec-toral sandpipers, two spotted sandpipers, a stilt sandpiper, a green heron, a black-crowned night-heron and 12 killdeer, sighted recently in Pembroke. Richard and Barbara Natale were surprised to see a baby hawk in their backyard when they arrived home one evening at dusk. They were able to get within 10 feet of the hawk, who was enjoying his dinner of duck. Richard has spotted the hawk on his property at least three times this past month.

Also sighted around town ➢was Josh Cutler, who has been canvassing the different neigh-borhoods in Pembroke. Josh can be seen knocking on doors, talking with voters and letting everyone know how he feels about being a full-time, acces-sible and effective advocate at the Statehouse. He has worn the leather from his shoes and his hands to the bone while comb-ing the neighborhoods and put-ting signs on residents’ lawns.

And talking about voting, ➢Kellene Falco, vice president of the Hobomock PTO, would like you to know you can vote for Hobomock Elementary School to win $10,000 in school sup-plies. The top 10 schools from across the country with the most votes will become win-ners. Please help by voting ev-ery day from now until Sept. 5. All you have to do is visit av-erydennisongivebacktoschools.com and follow the directions. Be sure to vote every day and ask your friends and family to vote also.

John Sullivan ➢ , who is a deacon at St. Thecla Church in Pembroke, recently spoke at St. Ann by the Sea Church in Marshfield. His talk was entitled “Cardinal John Henry Newman’s Response to our Crisis of Faith.” In September,

Sullivan will be present to as-sist at a ceremony at Birming-ham’s Cofton Park, England, which will beatify Cardinal Newman. This is the first step before Sainthood. By praying to Cardinal Newman, Sullivan was healed from a debilitating spinal condition.

Did you know that local ➢nonprofit groups can cash in on a free moonbounce donated to their event by Kathleen Keegan, broker/owner of Real Estate Rocks? Keegan and her team from Real Estate Rocks, a Pembroke-based residential real estate agency, would like to give back to the community by donating a 15-by-15-foot moonbounce to any nonprofit/charity/fundraiser event. The donation includes delivery and set-up along the South Shore. For more information or to book the moonbounce, contact Kath-leen at 781-775-4670 or e-mail [email protected].

During August, artist Jane ➢Flavell Collins, in collabora-tion with the Pembroke Arts Festival, is displaying her col-lection of courtroom art at the Pembroke Public Library. She is a three-time Emmy Award-winner for her courtroom art.

In addition to the gallery space in the meeting room, the li-brary has large exhibit cases at the entrance that are available to display collections or small artwork. Artists interested in booking the meeting room for a show or arranging a display should contact Library Direc-tor Deborah Wall at 781-293-6771 or by e-mail at [email protected].

The mystery has finally ➢been solved! I hear that John and Kathleen Spencer were the neighbors who prepared and added soil and then planted a variety of lovely plants in the traffic island on Mountain Ave-nue at the corner of High Street. The island was turned into a showcase overnight. You can’t help but notice the delightful change when you drive down

Mountain Avenue on any given day.

On Aug. 5, ➢ Ryan Finnegan graduated from the U.S. Ar-my’s Armored Cavalry Scout Training. After 17 weeks of preparation at Fort Knox, Ryan is a graduate of H Troop, Fifth Squadron, 15th Cavalry. His proud parents are Tom and Terry Finnegan.

From July 30 to Aug. 9, ➢Lara SanGiovanni, a fifth grade teacher at Hobomock Elementary School, joined five other Earthwatch educa-tor fellows and volunteers from across the United States for the Songbirds of the Rocky Moun-tains project. They were active-ly engaged in fieldwork, navi-gating some muddy riverbanks, using satellite maps, GPS units, binoculars, nest cards, satellite radios, compasses and mea-suring instruments to collect and record data for the project. Earthwatch (earthwatch.org) is the world’s largest environ-mental nonprofit organization and is based in Metro Boston. SanGiovanni plans to bring the knowledge she gained from the research and education into her teaching throughout the year.

While the grandchildren were at camp, my daughter and I decided to have our cards

read. Having our cards read is some-thing we usually do on a quarterly ba-sis. This time, we decided on a trip to Regina Russell Tea Room in Quincy. I am always amazed at what the card readers predict and how accurate they can be. Other than the usual things a reader may proclaim, such as you will be going on a trip, about how business looks good around you, or how I myself have psychic powers, Souda told me she saw quite a bit of my time over the next few years being spent on writing — and, to be more specific, writing a book that will be published, popular and notable! Of course, she was telling me just what I wanted to hear. Writing a book has been on my list of things to do for a long time. The only thing I need to accomplish this task is another 24 hours added to my day or possibly just another day added to my week. I always take what the readers say with a grain of salt, but this time I would really like to believe what she said will come true. And now let’s see what’s going on around town.

ROBERT MCDANIELSales Consultant

Out of tunaBy skip cornell, express coluMnist

[email protected]

Hot Spot of the Week: Minot’s Light and north to the Merrimack River.

Tip of the Week: Watch out for Great White Sharks off Provincetown.

Coastal Report: Tuna fishing off Peaked Hill Bar is ice cold! In the South Shore Tuna Tournament on Saturday, no fish were hooked. Everyone went fish-less. The Southeast Corner,

the Southwest Corner and all the usual hot spots for tuna fishing were barren.

Over at the Old Coast Guard Station, bass and blue fishing was slow at best. There is plenty of bait around but no bass or bluefish. Up at the Rip at Provincetown, fishing for bass and blues was also slow.

Maybe the 12- to 15-foot Great White feeding on seals had something to do with fishing being way off.

Over in the Plymouth-Duxbury Bay area, there are tons of bait, mostly peanut bunker and sand eels or herring. There are schools of feeding small bass — mostly just keeper size-in the Cordage Channel area. Casting 10.5-inch white Shankas will do the trick for you. The bass are on the move and keep pop-ping up everywhere. This is mostly a run-and-gun deal.

There are still some flounder around, mostly in the Cord-age Channel. Around Clark’s Island, there are some small bass and a few keepers being caught. The same holds true for the Powder Point Bridge area. Flounder fishing here is also OK. No pogies around the bay; most of the bait schools are small peanut bunker.

Brewer’s Ledge is holding an occasional bass and no blue-fish. At the High Pines area, there have been some good reports of some nice stripers in the 20- to 25-pound range. These bass are being caught on umbrella rigs, but the bite can be short-lived.

At Burke’s Beach and just outside Green Harbor, there are still some nice flounders being caught. The jetties at Green Harbor have been producing some small fish mostly after dark. Over at Bluefish Cove, some small bass are falling for the tubes and worms. There have been very grim reports of fish from Bluefish Cove to the mouth of the North River. Most of the locals are fishing north near Minot’s Light or the 21 Can where there have been some good reports of large bluefish and a few good stripers.

There are large schools of spike mackerel and peanut bunker up at Cohasset. The more north you travel, the better the fishing gets. Hopefully with this three-day blow of easterly winds, fishing will return to normal. Soon the fall migrations will start and hopefully it will be a good fall run.

PHS Marching Band takes the field

Now in its third year, the Pembroke High School Marching Band is bigger than ever — up from 58 members last year to 88 this year, which al-

lows them to do more interesting formations on the field, according to Band Director Austin Glass. After a week of band camp at the high school, the musicians performed their 2010 halftime show for family and friends on the turf field last Friday. Entitled “Rock Bands With Great Horn Lines,” the show features the songs “Lucretia Mac Evil” by Blood, Sweat & Tears, “Get It On” by Chase, a Chicago medley and “Vehicle” by The Ides of March.

This year’s drum major is Dan Nelson, a French horn player. He trained for a week over the summer at the Uni-versity of Amherst Drum Major Academy in preparation for this new role so he is ready to conduct and lead the band in their halftime show. See them at Pembroke’s first home football game — under the new turf field lights — on Friday, Sept. 24 at 7 p.m.

PHS senior Brendan Dillon, juniors Jeff Christie, Tom Kroon and Jameson Kidder, freshman Zachary George and senior Kelly Jochems are all part of this year’s drum line.

PHS senior Trevor Berry sits on the sidelines.

Band members gather after their performance: (back row) PHS juniors Ryan Tressel, Dave Lopes, Pat Damon and Chris Mazzola, sophomore Julian Feth, (middle row) senior Dan Nelson, juniors Matt Winn and Dan DellaValle, sophomore Erin Haley, Band Director Austin Glass, senior Erin Graceffa, freshman Ryan Damon, senior Brian Swart, (front row) freshmen Samantha McSweeney and Joselyn Morritt and seniors Brenda McAlear, Trevor Berry and Jake Sullivan.

Local resident Elliot Glass, brother of PHS Marching Band Director Austin Glass, came to watch the band’s show along with his sons Parker, 4, and Grayson, 2.

with state-approved materials that would officially close the site and leave it available for limited recreational use. The site would include vents to re-lease gas from the soil, which would be monitored regularly to ensure the area does not pose any health hazards.

Mark White, a representa-tive of Environmental Partners (the company hired to design the closure plan), and landfill manager Mike Valenti pre-sented selectmen with an up-dated schedule for the project. which has been ongoing since the landfill closed in 1989.

The town is required to follow Mass. Department of Environmental Protection guidelines to close the landfill. In October, selectmen signed a DEP order stating that they were working to complete the project.

Because years of study showed that Pembroke’s land-fill did not appear to contain anything particularly hazard-ous, the DEP is allowing the town to use more permeable materials to cap the land.

White said Pembroke was eligible to receive a $2.5 mil-lion state revolving fund (SRF) low-interest loan (2 percent interest over 20 years), which would help the town finance the project. Selectmen unani-mously agreed to place an ar-ticle on the fall special Town Meeting warrant authorizing the town to enter into the SRF loan agreement.

Valenti said the loans were highly competitive and that conventional financing would involve a much higher interest rate.

“The SRF loan, I feel, is a significant opportunity for the town,” he said.

If voters approve the bor-rowing, the town would move forward with designing the closure plan, which could be submitted to the DEP by De-cember. Bidding for the proj-ect could occur in early spring and construction could begin in June.

White said the closed land-fill would be suitable for lim-ited recreational use, such as a landscaped area with walkways and small structures like a ga-zebo. Some communities have built alternative energy facili-ties, such as a solar or wind farm, on their closed landfills — projects that, if approved, could help the town pay for closure costs.

Town Administrator Ed Thorne said the SRF loan would be paid back through solid waste fees and would not require an override.

McCollum is a member of the Solid Waste and Recycling Committee and was a member of the Board of Health from 1985-88 when the DEP de-manded the landfill be closed.

“At the time, capping was the only option,” he said.

“Now, nine towns in the Com-monwealth are permitted by the DEP to mine [their land-fills] and get the garbarge out of there and reclaim the land.”

McCollum said he knew mining the landfill could come with problems, such as a higher cost and issues with disturbing what’s buried there, but that he felt the town should at least explore the option. He said he had spoken to a regional DEP director about the possibility and asked selectmen to invite her in to speak on the topic.

But others said they thought the idea was coming too late.

“It’s my opinion that the particular location of this town’s landfill would not make the mining option practical,” Valenti said.

Because the project would be labor-intensive, he said, completing it would take years rather than months, with op-erations going on in a residen-tial area as well as possibly inhibiting use of the recycling center. He also was concerned about odors, despite the land-fill’s age, and the possibility of introducing fresh oxygen to combustible materials, result-ing in dump fires, as has been a problem in other communities.

“For Pembroke, in its par-ticular location and at this par-ticular time, it’s not a viable alternative to go the route of mining the landfill,” Valenti concluded.

White said he had been involved with landfill mining projects in other towns but that he had also seen several cases where it led to more problems.

“In the end, it’s not going to be less expensive than sim-ply grading the site, capping it and seeding,” he said.

Selectman Arthur Boyle said he felt it was too late to change course, with the added concern of “opening Pandora’s box.”

“We’ve got a plan. We’ve got a schedule, and we’ve got an ability to pay the loan back,” he said. “[…] We’re rounding the corner here; we’re almost done. If this were 1990, I’d say let’s look at [all the options],

but we’re almost done.”Selectman Dan Trabucco

also was against exploring the mining option, saying bring-ing a DEP representative in would be like “opening a can of worms” and could possibly stop the capping project from moving forward.

“This is the plan. This is it. We cannot have DEP come back in,” he said.

Selectman Greg Hanley said he did not want to lose the low-interest loan but that he felt the town had time to look into the mining option while moving ahead with “Plan A” (capping).

“I think we owe it to the residents to explore every op-portunity, not just the oppor-

tunities that were available in 1990,” he said.

Selectmen did not decide whether to bring in a DEP rep-resentative to talk about min-ing, though they did support an article authorizing the town to borrow the $2.5 million for the capping project.

As the meeting passed the three-hour mark, the board be-gan a new discussion on how to handle Pembroke’s future solid waste. Solid Waste and Recycling Committee chair-man Ben Bastianelli presented selectmen with a cost analysis of various proposals, with the cost per household ranging from $155 (with a transfer sta-tion) to $257 (curbside trash and recycling).

However, much of the conversation centered around whether the town should ex-tend its contract with the SE-MASS Resource Recovery Facility, where Pembroke’s solid waste is taken. The cur-rent contract expires in 2014, and SEMASS officials have offered the town a $20 dis-

count starting Jan. 1 if it signs on for another five years.

However, Hanley pointed out that the new contract still meant an increase in fees in the final three years of the contract. He said the town had signed its previous contract under the same sort of deal and that the arrangement had lim-ited Pembroke’s options.

Hanley suggested another option — hiring a company to handle all of Pembroke’s solid waste and recycling and get-ting the town “out of the trash business” for good.

Bastianelli said the com-mittee had not considered that option because the town was tied into another four years with SEMASS.

The board decided to leave the issue up to voters by plac-ing an article on the fall spe-cial Town Meeting warrant to extend the SEMASS contract.

They also discussed set-ting up public hearings in the near future to hear what kind of solid waste and recycling program residents want.

The Pembroke Chamber of Commerce sponsored its first community softball game on Tuesday, Aug. 17 at Mattakeesett Street. Though both teams stopped

keeping score somewhere in the middle, the police and fire team easily came out ahead. Chamber officials say they may be look-ing for a rematch next summer.

Board makes last-minute addition at N. Pembroke


One week before school was set to open for the 2010-11 year, the Pembroke School Committee made one last ad-dition: A fifth first grade teach-er at North Pembroke Elemen-tary School.

About 20 parents showed up to the committee meet-ing Tuesday — not to argue against the need for additional staff to ensure class sizes stay small but concerned that chil-dren would still feel welcome on day one.

Frank Hackett, superin-tendent of Pembroke Public Schools, said administra-tors had been keeping an eye on the numbers all summer. Though moving in, out and around the district is usual, the North Pembroke area saw a higher than usual influx of students, with about 15 leav-ing and about 35 coming in, Hackett said.

The influx meant that North Pembroke’s first grade classes would hold about 24 or 25 students each versus the av-erage 22 per class at the other schools. With first grade a key year for students learning to read, Hackett said his staff felt it was important to keep sizes down to ensure individual stu-

dents received the attention they needed.

“I think going through this is the right way to go. If we wanted to go the easy route […] we would not be recom-mending this position,” Hack-ett told parents. “This is a tough decision, but I think it’s the right thing to do for stu-dents to be in a classroom of 19 or 20 students.”

With several elementary school teacher interviews al-ready conducted this summer, Hackett said he felt confident he could find a qualified teach-er quickly. He also said the additional $50,000 to $60,000 salary could be paid for out of the district’s current approved budget.

The school has adequate space and materials for the ad-dition, Hackett added.

He said North Pembroke Principal Jean Selines would decide how to divide students into the five first grade class-rooms and should be notifying parents this week about the change.

Michael Murphy, the par-ent of a first grader, thanked the superintendent for making his recommendation but want-ed to be sure all first grade classrooms were clustered to-gether and that the additional

class wasn’t “off in some sat-ellite location.”

First grade parent Ann Walker asked that kindergar-ten teachers be involved in the discussion because they knew many of the incoming students and could help make the best fit.

Another parent wanted to be sure her son came into a classroom that was “child friendly” and welcoming.

“He will know if he walks in and he doesn’t have a little sign for his backpack,” she told the committee.

Hackett said North Pem-broke staff would do their best to ensure the classroom was ready for students next Tues-day.

“We certainly share the same goals,” he told parents.” Things will be in place. It may take a little longer to get that classroom up and running, but we’ve got great teachers.”

School Committee mem-bers expressed some concern over the late notice on the issue — questioning how numbers could get to that point without more anticipation. However, the committee also acknowl-edged they had not met since July, while administrators had been looking at the issue for at least a month.

First grade teacher hired to account for influx

Meet Maria Barlow, kindergarten teacherMaria Barlow, full-day kindergarten teacher at

Hobomock Elementary SchoolBackground: MA in Elementary Edu-

cation. I’ve been an inclusion assistant for grades 1-3 and a kindergarten, first and sec-ond grade classroom teacher. This is my sixth year teaching.

Why did you go into education? I decided to become a teacher because every day is different. There is so much growth and change from student to student and year to year. I love that I will never stop learning or being challenged.

What was your favorite subject in

school? My favorite subject in elementary school was social studies. I loved reading about America’s history and how different life is today; it always made me feel so fortunate for everything that I had. I was very inter-

ested with the lifestyles of Kirsten, Samantha and Molly (the original American Girl dolls), which in turn led to my interest in history.

What is your favorite part of teaching? It is hard to pinpoint my favorite part of teach-ing kindergarten; I have so many. I love see-ing the growth from the beginning of the year when the students need to be taught how to sit at their seat and properly hold the pencil to the end of the year when they are able to read. It is the students’ comments that keep me on my feet and smiling every day.

What is the biggest challenge? The most challenging part of my job is teaching five-year-olds patience.

What are your hobbies and interests outside of school? Outside of school, my world revolves around my 15-month-old son. I love playing trains, hide-and-seek and reading him books (his favorite activities). I also love going to the beach with my family and shopping.

Support sought for crushing planthey were asking to do.

“We’re trying to do every-thing we can to help you peo-ple out and not spend money the town doesn’t have,” Kil-commons said.

DPW officials hope to use Chapter 90 state highway money to crush the materials on site — the piles of asphalt and concrete are left over from town road projects — then use the materials as needed to shore up the edges of town roads.

Commissioners said they also would be willing to move the crushed material to the town barn on Mattakeesett Street but said that would re-quire a Town Meeting vote and at least an additional $50,000.

Piles of street sweepings and materials from catch ba-sins stored on the site would be used to cap the town land-fill — a project slated to begin in June. Whether or not the roadway materials remained on site, DPW commission-ers promised that all the piles would be gone by the time the landfill materials were cleared out, possibly by the end of next summer.

The Mass. Department of Environmental Protection has approved both crushing on site and the use of the non-road-way materials at the landfill, Kilcommons said. DEP offi-cials also examined the soil on the site and determined it was not contaminated, he said.

DPW Commissioner Paul Whitman said the project may not require a variance from the ZBA because the use of the site predates Pembroke zoning laws. However, as one resi-dent pointed out, though mate-rials have been stored there for many years, it has been at least two years since the site was used for crushing, so that use was abandoned and may have lost grandfathering protection.

With about 4,000 cu-bic yards of asphalt material stored at the Monroe Street pit, crushing likely would take about two weeks, DPW Direc-tor Gene Fulmine said. Work-ers would water down the ma-terials to limit dust.

DPW Commissioner Ben Bastianelli said they would at-

tempt to do the work in the fall when windows are closed, to further protect residents from possible dust. He said the op-eration would be similar to crushing in the center of town at the plaza site (though that is under different regulations be-cause it is a private company doing the work).

Malinda Lane resident Mike Puniello said he had been concerned about the health hazard of crushing asphalt near homes when the DPW first brought up the idea this spring, but he had since read a study stating that crushing on-site could be done safely.

Andrew Sferruzza, also a Malinda Lane resident, said he also was comfortable with the one-time operation.

“My biggest concern at the first meeting was the health risk. I’m satisfied now there is not a health risk,” he said.

The other option allowed by the DEP would be to move and crush the materials at the old landfill site on Hobomock Street. However, Bastianelli said that operation could inter-fere with landfill capping and would require the materials to be moved twice.

The DPW also could have the materials taken off-site to be crushed but it would mean an additional cost to the town.

Monroe Street resident Gary Fine said he was disap-pointed the commission hadn’t provided a cost comparison of moving materials versus crushing on site.

“I kind of thought the mes-sage was loud and clear that the DPW would not only do your homework, which it sounds like you’ve done to some de-gree, but that you’d also have documentation,” Fine said.

Bastianelli said the com-mission had asked for esti-mates but that contractors did not want to be specific, as it could hurt them if they chose to bid on the project.

“It’s not a question of starting a war over it; it’s a question of coming up with the best possible solution,” Bastianelli said of the project. “This is one of those situations where everybody is not going to be completely happy.”


DPW officials are looking to crush asphalt at the Monroe Street site (marked with an asterisk above) over a two-week period as part of their efforts to clean up the property.

Would you use a transfer station if it meant you could save on your trash fee?

Charlie Blathras Milbery Lane

“We have trash pick-up on the curbside and we pay to have that done. We also go to the recycling center and by doing that it keeps our curbside fee low. In the end, I’d rather just deal with my trash

one way or the other though, especially where I could save.”

Mat Schuetz Schoosett Street

“Yeah, I think that is more convenient because using a

transfer station just saves people money and makes it easier on

the environment.”

Mark Petrie Wintergreen Farm Road

“I really wouldn’t mind taking my trash to a transfer station at all.

But then again, I don’t mind pay-ing for the pick-up fee if I must.”

Jenn Kilgallon Elm Street

“Absolutely! I think focusing on saving ourselves and the town

some money is important. I wouldn’t mind transferring my own trash because I already do

recycling once a week at the Pembroke recycling center.”

Cheryl Buckus Old Pelham Street

“I’m satisfied with the trash pick-up, and my husband and I

take recyclables to the Pembroke recycling center.”

In 2008, voters passed the California Marriage Protec-tion Act, an act recognizing

marriage as only between a man and a woman. This month, a federal ap-peals court blocked an earlier fed-eral court’s ruling that would have made California’s ban on same-sex marriage unconstitutional. The out-come could bring the issue before the U.S. Supreme Court. Moreover, if the court upholds the ban, there is a risk that the Roberts’ Court could make marriage equality laws in states like Mas-sachusetts invalid. Whichever way a court may decide, the issue will continue to be a vastly di-visive, unnecessary controversy.

Across America, like in California, the as-sault on marriage inequality has been a debate over its constitutionality and opposition based on a belief that marriage is exclusive to one man with one woman. However, neither should be considered as central to the issue, for what is central to the issue is state-sanctioned marriage itself.

There is no history of when the first mar-riage occurred, but it most likely occurred once man read the story of God taking Adam’s rib to create Eve. In the beginning, women simply had children, progressing to marriage by simple af-firmation (a family affair), and later by religious authority, evolving to the state granting mar-riage licenses with affirmation by a religious or civil authority.

In ancient times, tribes needed an environ-ment conducive to safeguarding and perpetuat-ing their lineage and rules on granting property rights (women were considered property). It had to do with ethnic identity, preserving social hierarchy, property rights and inheritance. Love was nothing more than an abstract notion.

The 1960s became the impetus for signifi-cant social and cultural change, but the perspec-tive up to that time had been that women were created to be subservient, not equal or a coun-terpart to men. Therefore, thanks to Adam and Eve, marriage was a social contract imbued by

religious values dictating that men reign supreme and that a wife should look to her man for guidance in all things.

Today, there are gender-based partnerships and cohabitations other than marriage that need to be granted rights and protections. Even though the heterosexual act of procreation is important to our evolution, that re-lationship should not interfere with other relationships such as a man and woman cohabitating, partnerships of

a man befriending a man or a woman befriend-ing a woman, or the cohabitation of homosexu-als. They should be afforded the same rights and protections as heterosexual marriages.

Since the social revolution of the ’60s, this has been the outcome of a world that has sig-nificantly changed. A change that has created paradigm shifts in thinking. A world in which safeguarding means more than protecting pos-sessions and bloodlines; it is now a world where love and compassion define relationships. We have acquired greater knowledge of which has come a diversification of ideas and an open-mindedness that has rejected old taboos. More-over, a financially dependent, fast-paced world where each spouse now needs a career — where spousal separation for long periods may be necessary because of conflicting work hours, business travel and relocation — has stressed families and generated high divorce rates. As a result, men and women are living together and creating families outside of wedlock. For finan-cial and other reasons, more and more men and women are partnering or cohabitating and shar-ing their lives.

Consequently, state-sanctioned marriage has lost its suitableness and usefulness.

It seems to me, if at death one can legally will their special person or pet animal in life any monetary or physical accommodation they may wish, why then in life can’t we find a way legally, comprehensively and universally to ac-commodate all categories of partnerships or co-habitation to the same legal status as marriage?

State-sanctioned marriage is an outmoded concept

Column encouraged Tea Party misperceptions —————

Horatio Green wrote a sizable column in the Aug. 13 is-

sue of the Express addressing his perception of racism in this country and accusing the Tea Party and Fox News of being guilty of promoting it. While I was pleased that someone with a strong liberal ideology chooses to watch a network that broadcasts fair and bal-anced news, it’s sad that Green

just doesn’t get it about the Tea Party. His kind of continuous rhetoric denouncing the Tea Party promotes misunderstand-ings that can needlessly divide people instead of encouraging us to all stand together, regard-less of ethnicity and insults the growing number of minority members of Tea Party chapters across the entire country.

Wow! And I thought our Solid Waste and

Recycling Committee meet-ings were contentious! Mon-day’s selectmen meeting sure put that concept to rest. I really do not know what to say. There were totally outrageous things said and mixed in with those outrageous things were lots of really good things. The prob-lem is that the general public has no way to differentiate be-tween the rational and the out-rageous.

One concept that was pre-sented is that, if we mine the old landfill to clean it up and get rid of it instead of making a $2.5 million monument to garbage, we would be hauling every one of the 880,000 cu-bic yards of the old landfill to SEMASS or some other expen-sive waste disposal site. Hope-fully we can salvage the tons of scrap metals that were allowed to be dumped years ago. The tons of plain sand and gravel that was used as landfill cover materials could be kept on site to level the cleaned area for fu-ture use as anything the citizens of Pembroke decide they want to use it for. If compactors were installed at the recycling center, Pembroke would not be paying

exorbitant prices just to get rid of the No. 1 and 2 plastics. If other efficiency measures were put in place, we could then en-courage residents to recycle more and reduce the SEMASS tipping fee without signing up for additional years of commit-ted service to SEMASS.

I encourage anyone inter-ested in the myriad options of dealing with solid waste to watch the weekly Solid Waste and Recycling Committee meetings being aired on local cable TV Channel 15 as well as the selectmen’s meeting of Aug. 23, which had a lot more coverage of solid waste issues, also on Channel 15.

The committee voted a few meetings back to make a trans-fer station our primary pursuit for solid waste handling, along the lines of how Duxbury and West Bridgewater handle their solid waste. The selectmen did not seem impressed with that option.

When Gordon Martin re-turns from vacation, I hope to have him make a presentation of his comparison of three op-tions in the cable TV studio so everyone can have access to his analysis.

Norman A. Dakin, 70, of Pembroke, died Sunday, Aug. 22, after a long illness, at home surrounded by his family.

He was born in Concord on May 16, 1940, son of the late Norman W. and Myrtle L. (Leise) Dakin. He was raised and educated in Weymouth and lived in Pembroke for more than 40 years. He was an avid astronomer and histo-rian.

Mr. Dakin was a Eucharist Minister for many years and served in the Marine Corps from 1958-62. He was a re-tired truck driver for Exxon/Mobil Gasoline Co.

He is survived by his wife,

Ann P. (Stevens) Dakin; one son, Dr. Christopher J. Dakin and his wife Mandy of Pem-broke; two brothers, Arthur W. Dakin of Maine and Richard R. Dakin of the Philippines; one granddaughter, Alexandra Dakin of Pembroke; one ad-opted daughter, Barbie Mylett of Holbrook; and many nieces, nephews and great-nieces and -nephews. He was the brother of the late Cynthia Dakin.

A funeral mass was cele-brated Thursday at St. Joseph the Worker Church in Hanson. Burial was at Pembroke Cen-ter Cemetery. Visiting hours were held Wednesday at Sulli-van Funeral Home in Hanson.

The Old Colony Sports-men’s Association Junior Rifle Program and the National Rifle Association invite the public to spend a few educational and fun hours at the club dur-ing their NRA Day Camp and Family Open House on Sun-day, Sept. 19 from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. The club is located at 159 Forest Street in Pem-broke.

Upon sign-in, youth (ac-companied by an adult) will be instructed in basic firearms safety and operation as well as the Eddie Eagle Gun Safety Program. After class, they may tour the club and take part in the shooting sports activities planned for the day. At each activity, a trained instructor will coach the child. (Parents

can shoot, too.) This year’s activities will include an in-troduction to trap shooting, black powder shooting, primi-tive demonstrations, archery, 200-yard rifle target shooting with live scoring and pistols and rifles of various calibers to try on steel knockdown tar-gets, swinging and exploding targets.

The first 75 young people attending will receive an NRA T-shirt and a free lunch. Partic-ipants should bring their own hearing and eye protection if they have it. The club has some to borrow. There will be sign-up sheets for anyone wanting to join the club, the NRA and the Junior Rifle Program. For more information, call George Wilson at 781-871-0003.

This summer, staff contin-ued curriculum work started last year — an effort to iden-tify what Pembroke students should know in each grade and subject, to make sure those standards are consistent from building to building and to ac-curately test their skills so that students who need more atten-tion in a certain area can get the help they need.

Last year, curriculum teams developed about three common units per subject per grade level. Work this summer focused on refining those units (now called “essential units”) and their associated tests to make them even more effec-tive in teaching kids what they need to know and gauging how they’re doing.

“What it really means is that students are being moni-tored on the same essential skills and concepts,” said Dr. Catherine Glaude, principal at Bryantville Elementary School. “So we’re expecting all children in grade three to be able to write a narrative, and this is what we say as a district is a quality narrative — this is what it looks like — and we’re holding that standard up for every single child, no matter what building they’re in.”

Here’s a look at other changes by school:

BRYANTVILLE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Now starting her sec-ond year as principal,

Glaude said she feels much more comfortable with know-ing not only her staff but every student at Bryantville.

“I spent the entire summer learning every child’s name in the building,” said Glaude, pointing to a binder filled with class photos. “I felt that was what was missing for me last year. I didn’t have photos and it was really hard to learn the children’s names because there are so many.”

After spending time going over the photos, Glaude said she is ready.

“I tested myself at a sum-mer session we had here with about 30 children. I only missed two,” she said, smiling.

Glaude also saw her sec-ond book published this sum-

mer, “When Students Fail To Learn.” She wrote the book be-fore starting at Bryantville and spent much of last school year working with an editor from her Vancouver, B.C.-based publishing company. The cover features photos of a few Bryantville staff members.

“It’s really some strategies about how you support chil-dren who are not meeting the benchmarks that you set and how you do it as a school ver-sus as a teacher,” Glaude said of her book. “I have a strong belief that you need to work together. When you put all the resources together to support a child’s learning, you accom-plish a whole lot more than just one teacher doing it.”

Bryantville has a new half-day kindergarten teacher and Title I tutors. The school also has new computers in the lab, as do the other two el-ementary schools.

Bryantville’s start time re-mains the same, at 8:30 a.m.

HOBOMOCK ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

At Hobomock, a later start time promises

to bring a positive change, ac-cording to Principal Donna McGarrigle.

“I think it’s going to be great. The buses go to the middle school and high school before they come here, so sometimes when they were running late we would open up the doors at arrival time and not all the buses were there. It made the morning a little more disjointed for the children who weren’t here on time,” she said. “So as a building, we’re really happy to think that we’re going to open the door and every bus is going to be there because

they have that extra time.”Hobomock also is welcom-

ing four new teachers, includ-ing a kindergarten paraprofes-sional, and a math coach — a new position that will work with teachers at all three el-ementary schools to improve math instruction. For Eng-lish/language arts instruction, Hobomock is sharing a litera-cy coach with North Pembroke Elementary School, while Bryantville will have its own literacy coach this year (partly funded with Title I money).

After students settle in this fall, the fourth, fifth and sixth graders will elect representa-tives to Hobomock’s new stu-dent council — established last spring after students Sarah McKenna and William Tava-res approached administrators with the idea.

Also new this year, Hobo-mock fifth and sixth graders received their schedules in the mail. Last year, the students began to change classrooms for certain subjects as a way of starting to introduce them to the middle school system.

“They transition from sixth to seventh grade and then they transition back out from eighth to ninth. The middle school teachers have told us that it helps to have students already comfortable with at least one piece of that transition,” Mc-Garrigle said.

Though students switched classes last year, this is the first time schedules have gone out before the first day. The goal is to mail them out even earlier next year to help parents know who their child’s teachers are and buy the appropriate school supplies, McGarrigle said.

Along with new computers, the Hobomock lab got a glass partition separating it from the rest of the library so that class-es can use the lab while library class is going on.

NORTH PEMBROKE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

At North Pembroke, there is a new school

psychologist, speech therapist and special education teach-er and, added by the School Committee on Tuesday be-cause of higher-than-antici-pated enrollment, a fifth first grade teacher. The new teacher will be in place by the start of school, and students from the

elizabeth Woods, fourth grade teacher, north Pembroke elementary SchoolYears teaching: 7How she spent her summer vacation: “I did a lot of reading, especially books that the kids read so that I can keep up on that. I did a lot of work around my new house. I went to the beach, spent time with my fam-ily. It was a pretty low-key summer.”Favorite thing about a new school year: “I love the fresh start. I love getting organized

for a new year, thinking about all the new things I can do and working off the last year’s plans and activities and improving them.”

STAFF NOTES

tara dumser, third grade teacher, north Pembroke elementary School

Years teaching: 17How she spent her summer vacation: “I have two kids, and I spent a lot of time with my family. We went down to the Cape; we went to Story land, Santa’s Village, the beach. My son did T-ball this summer, which was fun, and he did a gymnastics class, which he loved. We just kind of relaxed.”

Favorite thing about a new school year: “It’s like a brand new clean slate, getting to know the children, laying the foundation for the year. In not many jobs can you say that, that you get a fresh start ever year, and get a chance to make such an impact on so many kids’ lives. I’m excited to come back. I’m always sad to see summer end, but I love what I do.”

STAFF NOTES



other four first grade classes will be shuffled to make the fifth class. The change will al-low class sizes to remain small — about 19 or 20 per class — rather than 24 or 25 students per class. (Read more on this topic in the School Committee story on page 12.)

Also, the large group in-struction room received a new coat of paint and carpet over the summer, according to Prin-cipal Jean Selines.

Start time at North Pem-broke remains the same, at 8:30 a.m.

PEMBROKE COMMUNITY MIDDLE SCHOOL

At the middle school, Peg Szostak is return-

ing as the school’s permanent principal (she was the interim principal last year), hired this spring after a full search was conducted to replace former principal Steven Lamarche.

“There’s a little more fa-miliarity with the beginning of the year,” Szostak said. “I think I probably understand the schedule as well as the kids. We have a great staff here, and we got some great new staff. I’m looking forward to the new school year.”

The middle school is run-ning 15 minutes later this year, from 7:30 a.m. to 1:48 p.m.

Also new, school admin-istrators decided to switch up educational teams, giving teachers a chance to share ideas with more of their peers and kids an opportunity to spend time with different stu-dents.

“I think change can be really invigorating. It makes you look at what you do and how you do it and gives you a chance to kind of reframe things,” Szostak said of the team change-up. “It also gives them the chance to work with different individuals, so you get different team ideas. For me, it makes a lot of sense, because we’re really starting to look this year at the whole continuity of the system.”

Fresh faces include a new guidance counselor, history and special education teachers and several long-term substi-tute teachers.

PEMBROKE HIGH SCHOOL

Pembroke High School is welcoming more

than a dozen new staff mem-bers this year, including new math, science, Latin, special education and physical edu-cation/health teachers, a new head of guidance and guidance counselor, new head of special education and new custodian.

One big change is a new technology program led by teacher Christopher Connors.

“We’re offering four new courses. He’s teaching Pre-Engineering, which is like an introduction to engineering course; junior/senior STEM, which is science, technology, engineering and mathematics;

and a new course called Fash-ion & Technology, which is about wearable technology,” Assistant Principal David Smokler said.

He is joined in the central office by former dean of stu-dents Carolyn Connolly, now an assistant principal, and Principal Ruth Lynch.

High demand for the Latin language program also has led to the addition of a part-time Latin teacher.

The high school also is running 15 minutes later, from 7:40 a.m. to 1:58 p.m.

On the sports side, ath-letes began imPACT testing this week, starting with the football team. The Immedi-ate Post-Concussion Assess-ment and Cognitive Testing program aims to test students’ cognitive memory and other skills before they take the field to establish a baseline to test against if they should suffer a head injury. Additional testing can help administrators, par-ents and physicians determine when a student is ready to re-turn to their sport.

The high school also has new lights on the turf field that will allow teams to play night games. Barring any issues with EEE, the first home foot-ball game under the lights will be played Friday, Sept. 24.

“It’s really kind of excit-ing,” Lynch said of the field lights, which were made pos-sible through the efforts of several local businessmen and volunteers. “For a lot of par-ents that work during the day and can’t make a game at 3:30 in the afternoon, they’re going to be able to watch their child at least a couple of times dur-ing the year.”

Years teaching: 11How she spent her sum-mer vacation: “I got mar-ried this summer, on July 17, at the Jones River Trading in Kingston, and we honey-mooned in Jamaica. I used to teach eighth grade, and now I’m teaching seventh, so I’ve got new curriculum, a new grade and a new name.”

Favorite thing about a new school year: “Everything is fresh. Everything is perfect, and it’s always full of hope. Hopefully it will last all year. I like getting my room ready, and I’m excited for the kids to come. It’s a new slate for all of us.”

We went to the beach a lot and parks, and I just enjoyed the time with him.”Favorite thing about a new school year: “It’s a new beginning. You can start fresh. You have a whole new group of kids that

you don’t know. If you don’t like some things that you did last year, you can change them. It’s like a renewed hope of a better year.”

STAFF NOTES

George Jackson, eighth grade history teacher, Pembroke Community middle School

Years teaching: 11How he spent his summer vacation: “I spent a lot of time at home with my young kids — a three-year-old and an 11-month-old — so free time is few and far between. I also did a little golfing.”

So long, summerWith Pembroke High School’s fall sports season just

weeks away, Express Sports Editor Dave Palana want-ed to bring an end to summer sports in town with his

favorite photos that didn’t make the paper the first time around.

INTO THE WILD GRAY YONDER: A surfer and his son brave the waves on a stormy day at Nantasket Beach for the New England Longboard Classic.

VICTORY! Nathan Kavka celebrates scor-ing a run in kickball at the Building Character Through Sports camp at Bryantville Elementary School.

THE SKY IS FALLING! Junior Legion player Ryan Twigg holds on to his helmet as he heads to first base.

STOP, DROP AND ROLL: Future Titans limber up during monkey rolls at the Titans Football Camp.

LONG WAY DOWN? A surfer temporarily vanishes beneath the three-foot waves at Nantasket Beach after wiping out at the New England Longboard Classic.

TIME FOR A WASH: Derek Staples takes most of the infield back to the dugout with him during a Post 143 Senior Legion game.

FICKLE FAN BASE: One Pembroke Legion supporter would rather bury himself in dirt than watch Post 143 lose to Bridgewater.

“Our goal when we broke after Thanksgiving was to get a little stronger and a little more experience,” Bancroft said. “Overall, our strength and our enrollment are bet-ter than ever. The kids have really worked hard. It’s been lousy out, but we’ve had two very upbeat practices.”

The Titans had few se-niors last season, a trend that is continuing this year with a small group from the Class of 2011. Bancroft is looking for his two senior captains, Luke Leavitt and Matt Allen, to not only make plays as perimeter defenders but also to have strong seasons as the team’s wide receivers to help out ju-nior quarterback Luke Nagle in his first full season under center. Senior running back Pat Walsh also looks to be a big factor on offense, with Pat Claflin, Ty Morse and An-drew Chapman all graduated.

“These are guys that are going to get a lot of looks,” Bancroft said of his captains and Walsh. “We don’t have a lot of seniors, but hopefully over time, we can fix that.”

Bancroft said he is also happy to have Nagle return-ing at quarterback with some varsity snaps under his belt. Nagle started the final four games of the season last year, and he looks more comfort-able in the pocket in the first two practices.

“He looks good,” Ban-croft said. “It’s good to have someone back there with some poise.”

Two other weapons for Nagle on offense will be big tight end Dan McCourt and John Hooper, who is moving to running back from tight end. Hooper and McCourt also will be keys on defense from the linebacker positions with Pembroke’s defensive line looking small. The Titans lost a lost of their size with

last year’s senior class, and while the returning players put in the work in the weight room, Bancroft said they are going to be facing bigger op-ponents most weeks.

“We’re not that big up front,” he said. “It’s the nature of the school; there just aren’t a lot of big kids. But Alex Deegan is stronger and some-one we expect a good season

from. Joe Bowie, Joe Cona-than and Sean Richards also worked hard in the offseason and are going to help us.”

With such a young team, the Titans will have a tall order to challenge at the top of the league this year, but the future is looking brighter than ever in Pembroke. After a 17-player freshman team last season, Bancroft said be-

tween 30 and 34 incoming players swelled the ranks this year and all are committed to Pembroke football and hun-gry to make an impact.

“It’s been terrific,” he said. “They participated in some of our offseason pro-grams and they want to make their mark on this program. Being around them is excit-ing.”

Quarterback Luke Nagle throws in the rain at practice on Tuesday.

by Dave Palana, sPorts eDitor [email protected]

The Titans are still young and still undersized, but the 2010 football team is

stronger, more experienced and ea-ger to move the program forward.

Only a few days into his second season at the helm, head coach Bob Bancroft said the team already looks energetic and dedicated to a better season than their 3-8 campaign last year.
