In science class this week, Pembroke High School students learned the properties of waves, compared ocean

water to tap water and considered human ex-posure to the elements. In Latin class, they reviewed the names Romans gave to winds based on their direction. Students explored nautical themes in art, practiced singing and playing the U.S. Coast Guard hymn in choir and band and discussed the nature of heroes in social studies.

But first, students read “The Finest Hours” by Michael J. Tougias and Casey Sherman, the story of a Coast Guard rescue that occurred during a 1952 Nor’easter off Cape Cod.

Launched last spring with a book signing by Sherman, Pembroke High School’s first “One Book, One School” program culmi-nated in a special week of activities centered around the book.

On Monday morning, two weeks into the new school year, PHS seniors Matt Rindini and Dan Nelson kicked off the program with a premiere of their video promoting the book. Over the summer, the teens traveled to Chatham where the rescue took place to photograph the site as well as the actual boat used in the rescue.

“It was a great experience to see in per-son where it all happened,” said Rindini, one half of the local film group Neldini Films.

“I can be any-thing.” That is the message

Pembroke residents Traci and Pete Ficociello are trying to convey to young people with their hand-drawn designs. Their company, Ziggli, was launched in early February and is sending a positive message to preteens through relatable and fun char-acters.

The idea for Ziggli began when Traci Ficociello, an art teacher for grades four and five at Marguerite E. Small School

in Yarmouth, began doo-dling pic-tures and words of encourage-ment to her

students during lessons. As a new teacher, she had noticed some students were dealing with self-esteem issues, and she began writing encouraging words to invoke a smile.

“I noticed some of my stu-dents had low self-esteem. I started drawing artwork on bookmarks to tell them, ‘You are the best,’ and other positive messages. That is where Ziggli began,” Ficociello said.

The characters have been developing over time, accord-ing to Ficociello, who had drawn them several years ago but never put them into motion.

“I just set them aside until my husband gave me the push to really do something with my artwork,” she said.

Realizing that her artwork had the potential to inspire oth-ers, Ficociello took her original doodles and tweaked them into the Ziggli characters. She and her husband launched Ziggli.com and began product devel-opment last February. Now the characters are featured on T-shirts, onesies, sweatshirts and canvas bags. Prices range from $15-$25.

Though they mostly sell the Ziggli products online, the Fico-ciellos also have started branch-ing out to local craft markets and holiday shows.

Traci came up with the name “Ziggli” and the rest of her characters while driving to work.

“I was sitting in traffic just thinking of something different and started going through the alphabet and Ziggli popped in my head,” Ficociello said. “Her best friend is Tess. Honestly, I just like that name. Sophia the cat is named after my black cat. And Coop the bird, I also thought of in my car.”

The product line’s main character, Ziggli, is an adven-turous brunette. She has a list of favorite things and loves to wear boots, which is incorpo-rated into all her drawings.

Her friend Tess is blonde and is very “girly-girl” — she likes to wear dresses and bows.

“I like the dynamic that they are so different but they are best friends,” Ficociello said.

Sophia the cat is Tess’ pet and a yellow canary named Coop is Ziggli’s pet. The ani-mals are involved in each ad-venture. As the girls’ clothing and scenery changes, so do their animal pals, who match in attire.

Current Ziggli personas include a gymnast, artist, chef, dancer, teacher, doctor, fish-erman, photographer, soccer player and surfer. Up next, the Ziggli pals will take on new roles as an equestrian, hockey player and ice skater, all of which will be new in 2011. The Ficociellos plan to continue ex-panding their line of characters and friends, introducing favor-ite toys, robots named Ro and Mo and a sock monkey.

“We will also be coming out with a multicultural character, a new friend for Ziggli and Tess,”

Ficociello said. All of the Ziggli characters

are designed to be positive role models for children.

“We wanted to tell girls you can be anything if you put your mind to it. If you can dream it, you can be it,” Ficociello said. “My mom always said ‘You can be anything.’ She instilled that in me and my brothers.”

Always interested in art, Ficociello said she started draw-ing at a young age. She went to school for fine arts with a con-centration in graphic design and hopes to pursue her master’s degree in art education in the near future. As a 2002 gradu-ate of Bridgewater State, she spent many years as a graphic designer and illustrator in mar-keting for larger companies but always longed to use her artistry in children’s books. She aspires to eventually develop a book series of Ziggli adventures, and perhaps other merchandise will be on the horizon.

Pete is an accountant and operates the business side of the company; however, Ficociello said he also sketches.

“We motivate and encour-age each other. He comes up with many of the ideas and ad-ventures,” she said.

Meet Ziggli and friendsPete and Traci Ficociello recently began selling cloth-ing and bags featuring hand-drawn characters named Ziggli and Tess. The characters dress up as different professions and share the message “I can be anything.” Though mostly online, the Ziggli products also will be sold at upcom-ing festivals and other events.

With their work on hold, two committees appointed over the last year to study how Pembroke does business were disbanded Monday night — the Town Government Study Committee and the Solid Waste and Recycling Com-mittee.

The Town Government Study Committee, whose pro-posal of a town manager form of government was rejected by voters at the April Town Meeting, voted at their Aug. 19 meeting to disband — a vote that was upheld by the Board of Selectmen 4-1.

Selectman Bill Boulter voted against disbanding the committee, saying members may have felt limited by the town manager focus and that there were still options they could explore.

“I feel a little bad about [the disbandment] because I know all the people on this committee worked really hard to come up with a solution,” he said. “The public spoke and said they didn’t want a town manager. But I still think we need a Town Government Study Committee […] to look at other forms of govern-ment.”

Selectman Lew Stone, who served on the committee, also said he did not think the work was done. However, he said members felt voters were not receptive to their main con-clusion — reached after about eight months of meetings and studying other communities: that Pembroke should have a town manager instead of an administrator.

Committee members also had personal commitments that would not allow them to continue serving, Stone said.

“I personally feel there are still some things that could be done to help us better run the town of Pembroke, and I

would intend to continue to look at those issues and bring them up to this board for your consideration,” Stone said.

However, he voted with the majority of the board to disband the group.

Also disbanded was the Solid Waste and Recycling Committee, which has been meeting weekly for several months to discuss how Pem-broke’s trash and recyclables should be handled.

Committee chairman Ben Bastianelli told selectmen the group felt they had gone as far as they could with study-ing the situation and that now it was up to town leaders and voters to decide the town’s fu-ture.

Selectmen voted unani-mously to disband the com-mittee, thanking its members for their efforts.

Town Administrator Ed Thorne said he had compiled all of the committee’s find-ings for selectmen and that the next step would be to hold public meetings about the op-tions, which range from full curbside trash and recycling pick-up to building a transfer station where residents would take all materials.

When discussing the fall special Town Meeting warrant Monday, selectmen voted to remove two articles recom-mended by the Solid Waste & Recycling Committee — one to transfer operation and over-sight of the recycling center to the Department of Public

Works and the second to con-tract with the Bourne Inte-grated Solid Waste Manage-ment Facility to handle any solid waste over the amount required for the SEMASS Resource Recovery Facility under the town’s current con-tract.

Selectman Arthur Boyle said he felt his board should stay involved with the solid waste discussion and said the DPW had not asked to take over solid waste and recy-cling.

Selectman Dan Trabucco said signing a contract with Bourne could hurt attempts to get a better deal with SE-MASS.

Other articles on the war-rant, including one to form a permanent recycling commit-tee and one directing select-men to include pay-as-you-throw in future solid waste plans, were submitted by pe-tition and must remain on the warrant for voters to decide.

Man on coffee run reports vehicle stolen

A Dunkin Donuts customer who left his vehicle running while he went in for a coffee on Sunday discovered his vehicle was missing when he came back out. According to police reports, the man pulled up near the front of the Mobil station shop on Route 139/Church Street around 5:45 a.m. Sunday and left the ve-hicle running and his wallet with $130 in cash inside. Surveillance videos show another man who came into the station to ask for a ride out of town leaving about the same time but vid-eos do not show who took the car. Police are investigating.

GPS, purse taken in vehicle break-ins

Vehicles on Reservoir Road and Fairview Avenue were broken into over the weekend,

with a GPS unit and purse taken. In the first incident, a woman came to the station to report that she had left her unlocked vehicle in the driveway between Friday night and Saturday morning and later discovered her GPS and a power cord were missing.

In the second case, a woman told police she thought she had locked her vehicle when it was parked overnight in her driveway on Fairview Avenue. However, police found no sign of forced entry. A purse containing credit cards and $170 in cash kept in the center con-sole were reported missing. Police are investi-gating.

At the meeting, most of the mem-bers were decked out in new blue DMC (Dull Men’s Club) T-shirts. Tobin provided several quirky and unusual newspaper articles and Rob Roy told his joke of the week and caught the group off guard with an unex-pected punch line. Hugh Cros-sen passed around a restaurant menu from his collection. The menu was from the Old Black-smith Shop in Whitman where you could order a fresh boiled lobster dinner for $2.25. As each addition to the group brings in a new slant on life, new members are always welcome. The club meets every Wednesday at 10 a.m. at the senior center.

On Sept. 8, John and I attended our second Red Sox game of the season. It was supposed to

rain but it didn’t. Our favorite parking lot was charging $15 less for the evening. It was warm but not too warm. It was a great evening for sitting outdoors. With so many of the players out of commission because of injury, our ex-pectations were not high. Rookie Lars Andersen, however, was able to get his first two hits in the Major League, and the Boston Red Sox somehow man-aged to get under the skin of those Tampa Bay Rays. It was an exciting three hours and 11 minutes — and to top it off, the Red Sox came out on top winning the game 11-5. It was a perfect night to be at Fenway Park. And now let’s see what’s going on around town.

Hot Spot of the Week: The southeast corner of Stell-wagen Bank for tuna.

Tip of the Week: Squid bars are hot! Hotjigs squid bars in root beer or black are the hot lures right now for tuna.

Coastal Report: Tuna fishing has turned on again. The southeast corner of Stellwagen Bank has been the hot spot. The majority of the fish are smaller — 52 to 58 inches — but there

have been some fish up to 70 inches. On Saturday, Sept. 11, I had the plea-

sure of fishing in the Green Harbor Tuna Club’s Wounded Warriors Fishing Tourna-ment. I fished aboard the F/V Family Jules with Captain Tom Libertini, mate Paul Feeley, Wounded Warrior Don Elkman and his friend Kevin Farrands. At 5 a.m.,

we all met for coffee and doughnuts and a Captains & Rule meet-ing. This was a catch and release tuna tournament for wounded warriors of the Armed Services. Three boats tied for first place: Family Jules with a 65-inch tuna and My Delite and JK, each with a released tuna. Af-ter the tournament, everyone returned to Green Harbor for the awards and a cookout with a raffle to raise mon-ey for the Wounded Warrior program.

Overall, tuna fishing has picked up, with most of the fish in the recreational limit size and being caught on squid bars. Bass fishing at the old Coast Guard Station also has picked up with lots of keeper bass and some jumbo size bluefish (13 pounds). Most of the fish are being caught by wire line jigging.

Up at the Race at Provincetown, bass and blue fishing is much better. Lots of fish are feeding up for the fall migration. In 25 to 35 feet of water, wire line jigging is working best. Jigs in black and purple or red and black are the best choice. The best fishing is from the Bath House to the Rip at the Race in 25 to 35 feet of water.

Over in the Plymouth and Duxbury Bay area, the fall migra-tion has started. You can find many schools of bass and bluefish feeding heavily on peanut bunker or pods of sand eels. Most of this action is by watching for the birds or sight fishing. The schools are moving around the whole area.

From High Pines to Green Harbor, you can find schools of bass and bluefish feeding on bait. Try using some top water plugs on these fish — the ac-tion is very good. Fishing from the Green Harbor jetties with top water plugs or live bait has been OK.

Tube and worm has been the hot bait for bass and blue-fish from Bluefish Cove to the Beatles Rock area. Over at the Third and Fourth Cliff area at the mouth of the North River, there have been some really good bluefish blitzes. Fish are from the shoreline to 70 feet of water.

Make sure you get out to fish — Old Man Winter is very close. Enjoy the fall fishing.

Focus on ‘Finest Hours’“The day we went down was a perfect day for it because it was cloudy and a little rainy, so it was the perfect weather to film a storm scene.”

One part of the “Finest Hours” story that stayed with Rindini was the fact that the four-man Coast Guard crew was able to bring back 32 shipwrecked sailors on a boat designed to carry half that load.

On Monday, students also heard from U.S. Coast Guard Lt. Chris Culpepper and five other members of the Coast Guard about their jobs and the guard’s role over the years.

Sherman also attended the kick-off, sharing a message with the school.

“It’s an honor for me; it’s an honor for the men and women who were involved,” he said of the program. “I just spoke last night with the last surviving member of the Coast Guard crew. His name is Andy Fitzgerald, and he won the Gold Lifesaving Medal on that fateful night. He was re-ally taken aback by what the students and faculty here have done to the point where he was very emotional, because this was something he did over 60 years ago.

“It’s the greatest Coast Guard rescue in American his-tory, but nobody’s ever heard about it, and that’s because the men never talked about it — they never told their families; they never told their friends. They deserve some recogni-tion from the public, and now they’re getting it 60 years lat-er,” Sherman said.

He is the bestselling author of five books and began work-ing on “The Finest Hours” with Tougias about three years ago.

“When I was told about this project, I jumped into it full-bore, because I know how important it is for students to be excited about something. It’s one of the reasons I’m a storyteller,” Sherman said. “I want to pull the students out of that textbook mentality and tell them there are some incredible historical stories right here in Massachusetts that they should be aware of.”

Sherman planned to meet with small groups of students on Friday to talk about the book and the writing process.

Last spring, PHS staff and students picked “The Finest Hours” for a schoolwide read, with plans for everyone to read the book over the summer. The

Pembroke Education Founda-tion provided a grant to help purchase copies of the book.

“The whole point of it was to get kids reading more for pleasure and enjoying it and getting them thinking about reading,” said PHS Librar-ian Crystal Broberg. “So far, we’re thinking it’s been really successful.”

Each department was asked to incorporate the book into at least one lesson this week, and teachers answered the call.

In social studies, students discussed what makes a hero and when it’s OK to defy au-thority (the crew was told at-tempting a rescue in those conditions was tantamount to a suicide mission, but they went anyway).

“So many of the themes in the text are things that cross our curriculum — leadership and courage and being out-side of your comfort zone and having to make difficult deci-sions,” social studies teacher Brandon Hall said. “Whether it’s early U.S. history or late U.S. history or world history, we look at how leaders have made split-second decisions that have had far-reaching ef-fects.”

Choir and bands students learned the Coast Guard hymn “Semper Paratus (Always Ready),” and music students explored how a film score en-hances the drama in a movie and how a soundtrack might be created if “The Finest Hours” were a screenplay, according to Gwynne Sousa, director of fine and performing arts.

Art students looked at how nautical and maritime themes have been applied through various mediums.

“The book ties nicely into

both the art and music curricu-lum and also goes beyond it in such a way that students are fully immersed in experienc-ing this true story from many different angles,” Sousa said. “I think this book represents a great opportunity to approach a subject from a complete in-terdisciplinary approach. In this way, it helps students experience the story through different learning experienc-es that speak to their varying learning styles.”

Math students learned how to compute distance over water and were introduced to the skill of oceanic map read-ing, while science students studied waves, how ships are designed to withstand adverse conditions and how water temperature affects the human body, according to science de-partment head Joan LaCroix.

Latin students learned sea, ship and storm vocabulary and the Latin names for various winds, department head Car-ole Glass said. Students also read Latin stories and poems that involve storms and ships.

Along with one final visit from Sherman, the “Finest Hours” week concluded Fri-day with a special New Eng-land-themed meal of clam chowder, roast turkey, stuffing and blueberry cobbler.

Broberg said PHS staff already were looking at a sec-ond schoolwide read, possibly starting this spring.

“I think they’re looking forward to doing it again,” Broberg said of the teachers. “But we haven’t even thought about the book yet.”

from DPW Commissioners that they wanted to take re-sponsibility for the recycling center.

The committee also sub-mitted an article authorizing a contract with Bourne Integrat-ed Solid Waste Management to accept any town trash over the minimum that must be sent to the SEMASS Resource Re-covery Facility (now called Covanta Energy) under a cur-rent contract, which expires in 2014.

Selectmen said they felt the town should focus on ne-gotiating a better deal with SEMASS rather than getting into another contract.

“[With this article] there’s the chance of muddying the waters for our ultimate goal, which is to get a better deal with SEMASS,” Selectman Dan Trubucco said.

Selectmen also removed an article that would have re-vised town bylaws to prohibit a current elected official from holding two or more elected positions at the same time. The article was submitted by DPW Commissioner Ben Bas-tianelli.

Boyle said the article con-flicted with the Mass. General Laws, which say a town can-not prohibit anyone from run-ning for an elected office.

“You can’t override the electoral process,” Boyle said.

Resident Jim McCollum, a member of the Solid Waste and Recycling Committee, submitted several articles by petition. One seeks to form a permanent recycling commit-tee of seven or more members dedicated to improving the town’s recycling rate. Another article would direct selectmen to include pay-as-you-throw in any future plans for solid waste handling.

Another article submitted by McCollum supports modi-fying the current recycling center to be a transfer sta-tion for all of the town’s solid waste.

McCollum also is asking voters to set aside $60,000 to purchase a compactor station, which will allow the town to compact recyclable plastics and make fewer trips, saving the town money.

Selectmen will consider making recommendations on all of the articles at their Oct. 4 meeting.

The warrant also includes several items with big price tags, including $2.8 million to cap the former town land-fill and $806,342 to complete the Mattakeesett Street ball fields project. As he did at the 2009 fall special Town Meet-ing, Town Administrator Ed Thorne is asking voters to ap-prove the full $800,000 proj-ect to make Pembroke eligible to receive a $500,000 state grant. If Pembroke receives the grant, the town will have

to develop a plan to make up the remaining funds.

Other articles would allo-cate $25,000 to move crushed asphalt materials from the DPW’s Monroe Street pit to the highway barn on Mattakee-sett Street, $87,000 to replace a failing culvert on Mill Street near Hobomock Street and $30,000 for drainage mainte-nance on Glenwood Road.

The town’s third round of Community Preservation Act funding also will come before voters in October. Projects recommended by the Com-munity Preservation Commit-tee include: $38,500 to restore windows and paint trim on the Lydia Drake Library; $28,500 to repair and replace windows on the Ladies Sewing Circle building; $35,000 to replace the roof on the Adah Hall House; $10,000 to restore old record books from the 1700s in the town clerk’s office; $35,000 to weatherproof the community center building; and $45,000 to create a town-wide trail system.

Voters also will consider extending the town’s agree-ment with Covanta Energy, formerly SEMASS, for solid waste disposal for another five years through June 30, 2019.

And they will see an ar-ticle that provides Council on Aging drivers with a 96-cent wage increase to bring Pem-broke in line with surrounding towns.

Selectman Lew Stone said most of the money for these wages will be reimbursed through the town’s contract with the Greater Attleboro Taunton Regional Transit Authority. Stone said a study

of eight surrounding towns showed that Pembroke paid its drivers the lowest wage.

With the increase, Stone said, “We’re not going to be at the top and we’re not going to be in the middle. We’re simply going to tie for last place.”

In other selectmen business Monday night:

• MONROE STREET PIT UPDATE: Selectmen heard an update from Department of Public Works Commissioners concerning plans to crush and remove gravel from a storage property at the corner of Monroe and School streets. Commissioners are seeking a one-time crushing exemption from the Mass. Department of Environmental Protection to crush asphalt materials left over from previous road-work. DPW Director Gene Fulmine said crushing would be done between 7 a.m. and 4 p.m. and should take about 10 days, plus the required time to move the materials to the DPW storage barn on Mattakeesett Street. Town Administrator Ed Thorne said he would check with legal counsel to see whether the commissioners should seek a special permit with the Zoning Board of Appeals. The DPW also is seeking $25,000 at the fall special Town Meeting to transport the materials; otherwise, they would remain on site and be used as needed.

• COLLECTING BACK TAXES: The board agreed to sign a contract with North Andover-based FH Cann and Associates to collect unpaid personal property taxes from the last 10 years. Selectmen OK’d the plan in June, authorizing Town Treasurer/Collector Kathleen McCarthy to seek bids. She chose FH Cann, which will receive 33 percent of the owed bill as payment (added to the bill as a penalty). McCarthy said in June that the unpaid personal property taxes — assessed on items used to run a business, such as fax machines and vehicles — totaled about $181,000 between 2000 and 2010.

• EARTH REMOVAL PERMIT: Selectmen authorized developer John Tedeschi to remove about 5,800 cubic yards of earth from 242-246 Washington Street as part of his plan to build storage facilities and an office building on the site. According to a list of conditions, work will be done Monday through Friday between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. with no truck idling; work is limited to 8-12 covered truckloads per day; trucks may not use Water Street, Brick Kiln lane and Pleasant Street; and 200 yards of clean fill will be donated to the DPW barn for use at the Mattakeesett Street ball fields.

Silly is serious businessKids make trades at library’s SillyBandz gathering

Colby Spencer, 8, smiles as he displays his considerable SillyBandz collection. Spencer, who recently celebrated a birth-day, revealed he has 369 SillyBandz.

Brady Spencer, 5, raises his hand to show he’s interested in trading for six-year-old Noah Taylor’s tie-dye style band at a Silly Bandz trading party held Friday, Sept. 10 at the Pembroke Public Library. Made by Ohio-based BCP Imports, the colorful silicone rubber bands feature a variety of designs with themes such as Red Sox, animals, music, holidays and pop culture favorites.

Alana Taylor, 9, trades one of her bands for eight-year-old Abigail Pulling’s octopus-shaped band.

Alana Taylor, 9, discusses a trade across the table with another SillyBandz collector.

Abigail Pulling, 8, and Alli Zeoli, 6, make a trade.

Three-year-old Jack McDonough watches the trading activity.

Five-year-old Brady Spencer lays out his collection.

Five-year-old Will McDonough lays out his collec-tion of Silly Bandz on the table in preparation for some trading.

SillyBandz have been banned in some schools, including Bryantville Elementary School, because they have caused problems and may be a distraction in the classroom. The bands are allowed at North Pembroke and Hobomock elemen-tary schools because there have been no issues there, according to the superintendent.

Youth Services Librarian Jessica Lamarre holds out a unicorn SillyBandz she acquired through a trade.

How do you think the Patriots will do this season?

David Skolnick Captain Torrey Lane

“The Patriots will dominate the Eastern division this year. And,

with even middlin’ luck regarding injuries and trades, I think they could go all the way. Go Pats!”

Deanna Hatch West Street

“I think they will be successful because Brady is on his game.”

Dee Dee Deegan Four Winds Drive

“By the way they played the Bengals, I think they definitely will

have a good season.”

Mike Fall Edgewater Drive

“I think the Patriots will be a Su-per Bowl contender this season because Brady looks like he is

back in all-star form.”

Zach Nastasia Carol Avenue

“I can see the Patriots winning the Super Bowl.”

it’s election seasonThe voters have cast their pri-

mary ballots and the 2010 election season is now offi-

cially underway. Pembroke will make major decisions this fall, and we have the opportunity to send a clear mes-sage to Boston and Washington. We in Pembroke have felt the effects of a one-party system in our state and now in Washington over the past few years. We all know someone who has lost a job or is struggling financially. We have seen the backroom deals of the Pelosi/Reid Congress, we have seen the tax increases from Beacon Hill, and small businesses all over Pembroke have been adversely affected by the sales tax increase and the increased taxes on alcoholic beverages. We have a legislature on Beacon Hill dominated by the Democratic party — and they continue to be out of touch with the regular taxpayer.

What we need in Pembroke is a legislator who will stand up and protect local aid. Pem-broke deserves a voice on Beacon Hill that will bring information to the towns he represents, to help budget effectively. We deserve a represen-tative who — when the schools need help or a ball field is in need of funding — will have the relationships and expertise to work with those in the legislature to help the towns he represents. Pembroke deserves to be represented by some-one who understands that local aid is the founda-tion on which we run our towns. Local aid pays for police, fire, schools and roads.

Pembroke also deserves to be represented by a voice of reason. A man, and someday I would be proud to say a woman, who is willing to put his name to legislation that begins to stop ille-gal immigration in our state. To make sure tu-ition benefits go to the children of Massachusetts residents and families first. To ensure those with driver’s licenses are here legally. To be sure the few services we can afford go to those who came to our country legally, or that have actually lived here their entire lives. We need a representative willing to ensure federal law is upheld and states like Arizona are applauded, not chastised. We deserve to be represented by a legislator who is willing to challenge the leadership on Beacon Hill, vote his principals and vote for the best in-terest of his district.

Pembroke deserves representation that puts the safety of our police officers first, someone who believes the safety of our children comes before the rights of those that would hurt them. We deserve a representative who will stand up and proudly support the death penalty for those

who kill police officers and commit unspeakable evils on our children.

We deserve a representative who believes in smaller government. Pem-broke deserves to have a legislator who is plugged into environmental issues. One who will stand up for our ponds and our resources. One who understands how devastating hydrilla can be.

Pembroke, we deserve to be rep-resented by Daniel Webster. Now more than ever, his experience and independent leadership will continue

to preserve and protect local aid. He has been an ardent defender of local aid in his eight-year tenure. He has continuously come before our School Committee and helped to secure funding and provided information to help us plan realistic budgets over the years. It was his leadership that helped our school committee plan effectively and weather this economic downturn more favorably than almost any town in the state. Webster co-sponsored legislation that required employers to verify the immigration status of those they hire, ensuring scarce jobs go to legal residents of our state and country. He supports efforts to ensure Massachusetts residents receive tuition assistance and not illegal immigrants. Represen-tative Webster has continuously stood by police and supports the death penalty for anyone who kills a police officer. He believes children should be protected and those who do the unspeakable to our children should also be given the ultimate punishment

Webster has secured funding for our ball fields, brought funding to our town and remains one of the few independent voices on Beacon Hill that is willing to challenge the leadership when necessary but also willing to work with those outside his party to get things done. He opposed the sales tax increase, opposed raising taxes on alcohol, has continuously opposed increasing the state income tax and has been a staunch advo-cate of small businesses. I can say with certainty that a freshman representative from the majority party will not have the political clout to get these things done for Pembroke and would not be in support of many of these same legislative initia-tives — we have seen what liberal Democrats believe when it comes to taxes, illegal immigra-tion, the economy and the death penalty.

For these reasons and so many others, I proudly will support Pembroke’s state represen-tative — Daniel Webster — the one representa-tive who will continue to bring change and lead-ership to Pembroke.

McKenna secures local supportThe Pembroke Repub-

lican Town Committee has announced its endorsement of Jim McKenna for attor-ney general in the Novem-ber election. (McKenna ran a write-in campaign in the primary and has not yet an-nounced whether he received the required 10,000 write-in votes to appear on the Nov. 2 ballot in the race against cur-rent Attorney General Mar-tha Coakley.)

This endorsement fol-lows a series of endorse-ments from various diverse groups that are now sup-porting McKenna to become the next attorney general of

Massachu-setts. State Represen -tative and c a n d i d a t e for Worces-ter County Sheriff Lew Evangelidis,

State Representative Daniel Webster, Dudley RTC, Wales RTC, Webster RTC, MCFL, Clean Sweep Beacon Hill PAC have all offered their endorsements. GOAL also gave McKenna a 100 per-cent rating.

CRETINON’S

FARM STANDNATIVE & FRESH!

Native

By karen proctor, express coluMnist [email protected]

It’s September, and in Pembroke the schools are open for another dreaded or anticipated “back to school” season.

As the hoards of parents and children finish up their trips to the shopping malls all over the South Shore for the “ne-cessities” of school life for the next nine or so months, I thought it might be interesting to look at the items for sale in August and September a little over a hundred years ago. I turned to the pages of the Bryantville News, published around 1903, for answers.

As you can imagine, times have changed. You could buy the latest styles and tints of pa-per for 25 cents per pound as well as pens, pencils, inks and

mucilage at the stationery department of F.H. Gurney of Whit-man. Fall style hats, school suits and shoes could be purchased at Johnson’s of Whitman. Miss Porter, also of Whitman, had the new fall ginghams, outing flannels and flannelettes for sewing back to school outfits for the thrifty.

Lewis and Turner, Grocers, offered the best meats and gro-ceries and the Cushman Baker had a large assortment of cakes, pies and other baked goods for those hearty school lunches.

Other than the above listed items, there was very little men-tion of the need to purchase the latest, biggest or most expensive (but on sale) merchandise so your child could have the right equipment for a successful school year.

So … what has changed in 100 years? Merchandising obvi-ously has progressed by leaps and bounds. And, of course, our needs have changed — I wonder what a parent from 1900 would think about what our students need today. We have become a more creative (hence the need for crayons — a.k.a. art supplies), technology-savvy (hence the need for everything else) society. Did the students of 100 years ago require the latest fashions, or perhaps a better question — would they be allowed to wear the latest fashions to the classroom? The sum total of their techno-logical needs seems to be a pencil, a pen and some fresh, clean paper, perhaps some scissors and a little glue to hold everything together.

Now, I don’t know of anybody, including myself, who longs for the “good old days,” but this is the kind of research that makes me go “hmm.”

Karen Proctor is research director for the Historical Society. For details about these images, call 781-293-9083.

Congratulations to Natalie Paladino, George Migre, Stan Carita, Fred Doyle, Chuck Crossley, Otis Hathon and Sue Fitzgibbons for correctly identifying the old Bryantville School, also known his-torically as the Grange building, as this week’s mystery picture.

turnout was about 18 per-cent (30 percent turnout for Democrats and 69 percent turnout for Republicans). The numbers were much higher than the May town election — which saw the lowest turn-out in recent history, just 736 voters or 6.2 percent of those registered. There were 67 ab-sentee ballots cast Tuesday.

This state primary was in line with the last state primary on Dec. 8, which drew 2,174 voters, or just under 20 percent of those registered.

Town Clerk Mary Ann Smith said overall the day ran smoothly, though with many write-ins — including at least two write-in campaigns going on across the state — it was a long day, with Smith and her staff finishing up around 11 p.m. Tuesday.

“To the best of my knowl-edge, there were no mishaps, no problems,” Smith said of the primary. “I wish there were more people that came out to vote, but so it is. I think we’ll be very busy in November. Everybody will be out to vote. We’re just cleaning up from this election and preparing for November, and in between we’ll have a Town Meeting.”

The state election, which includes races for governor, lieutenant governor, state rep-resentative, Plymouth County sheriff and others, will be held Tuesday, Nov. 2. The last day to register to vote in the state election is Oct. 13.

BlankedDuxbury shuts out field hockey

By Dave Palana, SPortS eDitor [email protected]

The Titans fell behind in the blink of an eye to the Dragons at the high school on Tuesday, and they couldn’t get back on track in a 4-0 loss to Duxbury.

Duxbury capitalized on a corner to get a quick first-half goal and added another one minutes later before Pembroke could recover.

The Titans battled back in the first half but were over-matched early by Duxbury’s defense, and the Dragons added a third goal before the first-half whistle.

The Titans played a strong second half, allow-ing one Dragon goal, but head coach Bill Flynn said his team wasn’t prepared for the Dragons to jump out so quickly.

“We didn’t come ready to play today,” he said. “We played better in the second half, but we were down 3-0 before we knew what hit us.”

With the loss, the Ti-tans fell to 1-2-1. They play Taunton and Hanover on the road next week before com-ing home to face Middleboro Sept. 27.

Dan McCourt was in the right place at the right time, and his heads-up football made for a happy ride home from Hull for Pembroke on Friday night.

McCourt recovered a Hull fumble on the Titan one-yard line in the fourth quarter, his second fumble recovery of the game, to stop Hull’s final charge downfield and preserve Pembroke’s 7-0 victory over

the Pirates. “We made some big defen-

sive plays when we needed to,” head coach Bob Bancroft said. “Those are things we didn’t do last year.”

McCourt also recovered a Hull fumble in the second quar-ter, which killed another prom-ising Hull drive into Pembroke territory and delivered a mas-sive hit on the Pirates’ punt re-turner to stick Hull at midfield with less than two minutes to play in the game.

The Titans also got big plays on defense and special teams from captain Matt Allen and Thomas Johnson. Johnson

recovered a third Hull fumble and returned the ball to inside the Pirate 20-yard line to set up Pembroke’s touchdown. Allen later snapped off a punt from inside his own end zone in the final two minutes with Hull swarming him looking for a block.

“Matt Allen’s kicking was just huge,” Bancroft said. “It made us know that we could take a chance and go against the wind.”

Pembroke’s offense got off to a to a fast start on their opening drive with first-down runs by Pat Walsh, Jon Hooper and Luke Nagle, but holding penalty followed by a false

start killed the drive. The Titans struggled to

move the ball until after John-son’s fumble recovery. Nagle hit Allen with a pass along the right sideline to bring the ball inside the red zone, and a pass interference call on the Pirates set the Titans up on the goal line. Hooper then pounded the ball into the end zone behind the left tackle for the game’s lone touchdown.

“Mistakes are going to happen in the first game of the season,” Bancroft said. “We made most of our mistakes in the first half, and Hull made theirs in the second and we were lucky enough to capital-

ize on them.”The Titans continued to

struggle running the football in the fourth quarter and had to go three and out after Mc-Court’s fumble recovery at the one-yard line, which made Allen’s clutch punt critical. Pembroke’s defense then shut down Hull’s passing game for four downs, and Nagle took a knee to run out the clock on Pembroke’s victory.

“We lost to them 14-0 last year, so this is a good win for us,” Bancroft said.

The Titans will be home this Saturday when they play another non-league game against the Carver Crusaders.

Progress on the point

Jon Hooper (5) carries three Hull defenders with him across the goal line for a third-quarter touch-down and the only score of the game for either team.

Seven heavenLady Titans dominate in first race

By Dave Palana, SPortS eDitor [email protected]

Greg Zopatti told Heather Connick to have fun in her first race back this season after an injury-plagued 2009. He said the same thing to number two runner Chelsea Savage, telling her to enjoy the race instead of worrying about hitting marks.

Both Titans were all smiles when they crossed the finish line in first and second place, well ahead of the pack to lead a parade of seven straight Ti-tans to cross in 15-50 wins for Pembroke over Scituate and Silver Lake on Tuesday at the high school.

Both Connick and Savage didn’t run at full speed, but they were both near the 20-minute mark when they fin-ished, leaving Zopatti happy as well.

“Heather and Chelsea were both given workouts, but I took the washers away and told them to have a good time,” Zopatti said. “They were nice and relaxed and nice and calm out there, which was exactly what we wanted.”

The Titans didn’t miss senior captain Mary Scanlan, a healthy scratch by Zopatti, with captain Caroline McCor-mack taking third followed by Gabby Molignano, Jessica Leary and Joyce Simon, who all finished within 20 seconds of each other.

“I was really happy with that,” Zopatti said. “They have been working on that in practice but they really found out how to do it themselves to-day and that is going to help later in the season.”

Zopatti added that Shayna Nolan and Michaela Ng, who finished ninth and 10th, also had good times, which should give Pembroke some depth if one of their top seven gets hurt,

“Now we’ve got some backup,” he said.

Zopatti plans to keep the Titans on a workout pace dur-ing their quad meet on Tuesday against Middleboro, Duxbury and Silver Lake. With a tough test against Whitman-Hanson looming on the 28th, he said he wants his team fresh.

“I’m hoping [the quad meet] is going to be a meet where we run some other peo-ple up front and do some other work,” he said. “Whitman-Hanson is going to be a big meet for us.”

Top runner Heather Connick cracks a smile as she crosses the finish line at Pembroke High School to lead the Titans to victory.

play for most of the first half, and took the lead in the 18th minute after a miscommunica-tion in the Pembroke defense on a free kick allowed one of the B-R attackers to get a clear shot at Davis’ goal.

The Trojans remained on the offensive with time tick-ing down in the first half, but a pair of tackles by Pugliese and Megan Ford saved goals and kept the Titans within striking distance.

“They saved the game right there,” Connerty said. “They were willing to put their bodies on the line to prevent a goal and it would have been a different story if they didn’t.”

The Titans came out with more intensity in the second half, but they couldn’t break through until McIsaac scored with 8:20 left on the clock. Pugliese sent a rocket direct kick on net that the Trojan goalie couldn’t handle, and McIsaac broke through the wall to beat the keeper to the rebound and put it in the back of the net.

“That is more of our game,” Connerty said. “We came out much stronger and played as a team much better in the second half. It was a real team effort.”

Off to the racesDefending champs cruise in opener

By Dave Palana, SPortS eDitor [email protected]

The boys cross-country team’s goal in the early stag-es of the season is to stay fit and avoid injuries so they can defend their Eastern Mass. and All State Championships come November.

But Tuesday they proved they still can dominate teams while doing that.

The Titans took the first nine places in their opening race of 2010, beating Scitu-ate and Randolph 15-50 at the high school.

Head coach Greg Zopatti kept senior captain and num-ber two runner Brendan Ad-ams out of the race, but fel-low captains Ryan Kelley and Ryan Moran led Wesley Gal-lagher, JoJo Vercollone, James Coner, Jesse Fine and Mike DiTocco across the finish line before either the Sailors’ or the Blue Devils’ top runners reached the end.

Zopatti had his top runners doing tempo workouts during the race instead of starting the season running full out, and he said the Titans did a nice job staying focused on their game plan.

“They stayed controlled and they were really good,” Zopatti said. “They know if someone passes them they are going to be OK, and they stuck to the goal.”

Zopatti also said he was happy with the times from the runners who currently aren’t in the scoring, adding that there is enough talent for some of the younger kids to make a run as the season goes on.

“The guys 10 through 30 did a really good job,” he said. “We have about 17 kids that could do really well in this league if they were on a differ-ent team.”

Pembroke hosts Silver Lake, Middleboro and Dux-bury at the high school Tues-day before going on the road for a tough league match against Whitman-Hanson.

Girls soccer gets on the boardLady Titans shut out Quincy

By Dave Palana, SPortS eDitor [email protected]

After starting the season with two ties, it was a good feeling for the girls soccer team to get their first win of the season on Monday.

It was also good to get their offense on track again.

The Lady Titans shelled the Quincy Presidents 4-0 at Hobomock Field to improve to 1-0-2 after one full week of play.

“It’s always good to get that first win,” head coach Kara Connerty said. “We had a lot of shots on goal, but we were at least able to finish some to-day. I thought we played more offensive-minded, and that was good.”

Freshman Michaela McIsaac scored her third goal in three games to get the scor-ing started for the Titans. Cap-tain Michelle Coate and senior Becky Stoyle followed with scores to put Pembroke up 3-0 at halftime. Captain Jenna Bostwick added some insur-ance with a goal of her own in the second half.

While the offense found their groove, the Titan defense shut down the President for the full 80 minutes. Goalies Alex Davis and Brooke Musial only saw two shots apiece as they split time in net.

“I thought defensively we worked very hard,” Connerty said. “Amanda Pugliese and Katie Freitas had great games on defense and Christen Cahill was terrific in the midfield.”

Pugliese and the defense also stepped up in Pembroke’s 1-1 tie with Bridgewater-Raynham at the high school on Sept. 9. The Trojans controlled
