After bringing a se-rious show to the Pembroke High

School stage this fall with “The Diary of Anne Frank,” Pembroke’s Thespian Troupe 7217 will deliver comedy and romance this weekend with their production of “The Pa-jama Game.”

Set in the 1950s, the musi-cal tells the story of workers at the Sleep-Tite Pajama Factory in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, who battle management for a 7 1/2-cent raise. With several love stories going on throughout the show, “The Pajama Game” will be a nice kickoff to the Valentine’s Day weekend.

This April will mark the Pembroke Express’ third year as your community news-paper and my third year as your

editor. It’s also my third year as a New Englander, having moved east from my

hometown of Troy, Ohio,

just a few weeks before our first issue hit the press, and despite all this snow, I still don’t regret the decision. And what a three years it’s been! You’ve kept me busy, Pem-broke. I’ve listened to your stories; I’ve met your families; I’ve bet money on your duck races. You’ve kept me up at

The Friends of the Pem-broke Skatepark are hosting a meeting Tuesday, Feb. 15 at 6:30 p.m. at PCMS for resi-dents to give input on the de-sign of the park. Katie DiNardo of the Friends group updated the Express on the status of the project.

Where do things stand now? The committee is in the process of securing a formal de-

sign for the park. Of course, it will have to be within our bud-get, but we really would like to see the youth of Pembroke get involved. This is their park — take interest, get involved and own it. There is a lot to be done and we can’t do it alone.

Where will the skatepark be located? The park is going to be located behind the com-munity center, where the play-ground is currently.

How is the fundraising

progressing? Moving forward. The deadline for the Tony Hawk grant is March 1 and we fully plan on submitting an ap-plication for it. We recently re-ceived 501c3 [nonprofit] status and are able to offer a tax write-off to anyone who donates.

What is the purpose of the Feb. 15 meeting? Our design-er, Tom Noble of Who Skates, will be there to open discussion about the design, layout, mate-rial and flow of the park. This

is the public’s chance to voice their opinion about what kind of park will be built. Everyone is encouraged to attend.

What kind of help do you need from the commu-nity? Help in general. Grant research and writing, solicit-ing donations from business, people with construction back-grounds and or equipment. Our designer welcomes builders’ involvement when construc-tion time rolls around.

Design time for skatepark planFeb. 15 meeting a chance for public to consider recreation options


Selectmen will begin in-terviewing candidates next week for the newly established Town Recycling Committee, board members said Monday after agreeing to make seven appointments with three alter-nates.

The Recycling Committee was created by a vote of the Oct. 19 special Town Meeting, after an article proposing the all-volunteer board was sub-mitted by resident Jim McCol-lum via citizen’s petition.

As of Monday, the select-men’s office had received 10 applications from residents interested in being part of the committee.

According to a schedule included in the Oct. 19 vote, the selectmen plan to appoint three residents for three-year terms, three for two-year terms and one for a one-year term.

Selectman Arthur Boyle said he thought the Board of Selectmen should guide the new committee by establishing a mission statement. He said

Committee scope, intent debated

“What the world really needs is more love and less paperwork.” — Pearl Bailey

Thursday, February 10, 20112 Pembroke Express – Your Hometown Newspaper!

How long have you been in Pembroke? I grew up in Quincy and have lived in Pem-broke for the last 46 years, moving here from Hanover. My wife and I raised our two girls in town. They now live in Malden and work in Boston.

Why did you become a firefighter? I had an uncle on the Hanover Fire Department and he was pushing it. I was also very interested in it at a young age. When I was 6 or 7 years old, there was a fire down the street from my fam-ily’s house. I was very fasci-nated by everything that was going on.

Has the job changed since you started on the Pembroke Fire Department? There have been big changes since I started. When I began with the department, we did not have an ambulance or cover medi-cal calls. The police handled all of them. We only went out on a call if it was a heart at-tack or breathing issue. We only got involved in car acci-dents if there was entrapment in the vehicle or if there was a vehicle fire or the possibil-ity of a car on fire. When it was changed, it was a natural mix. Firefighters are the help-ers. The department started with EMTs (emergency medi-cal technicians) and now we have paramedics. I became an EMT.

What are you going to miss most about the job? It is definitely the guys, the ca-maraderie. You do not see this in any other occupation. As a deputy chief, I worked more

administrative hours and got to work with all of the groups. It was something different ev-ery day. I liked the risk and the excitement. You were al-ways making things better for somebody.

You also served on the Emergency Management Committee, what did that job entail? I was cochairman of the committee for 14 years with Bill Boulter. We were the planners. We looked at the community, came up with pos-sible disaster situations and solved for them. We looked at things such as hurricanes and blizzards and how they would affect Pembroke. We had to plan for every possible hazard within the town. Dur-

ing my time on the committee, we had nine states of emer-gency which are local, state or federal. The boil water or-der was one where we had to setup a distribution point for bottled water. It worked out well, and was a good test for us because we had just put that plan into effect two weeks be-fore. All of the local agencies, volunteers and the Red Cross did their part and things went pretty smoothly.

What do you look for-ward to most about retire-ment? My wife has a pretty good ‘honey do’ list that I need to work on. I am going to be doing things around my house like replacing the win-dows, insulation, landscaping and painting. I am really not a traveler and do not care for it too much. I really like the wa-ter and boating; we own a sail boat. I am also going to spend more time on my hobby, which is to build half hulls which are scale models of ships. It started in the 13th century as the blueprint for a boat. Prior to the 1950s, you had to have them in order to make a ship. I enjoy doing them and making something that is good look-ing.

A visit with George EmanuelDeputy fire chief retires after 42 years of service

By Mike tropeano express contriButor

No matter how long you have lived in Pembroke, you are most likely going to have noticed some change in the town. It is hard to find many who have seen

or experienced it as closely as George Emanuel who retired on Jan. 28 as Deputy Chief of the Pembroke Fire Department after 42 years of service to the town. Through his many years of service, he saw the town nearly double in population and the Fire Department expand in services. Modest in speaking of his contributions to Pembroke, George has also played a vital role in ensuring the preparedness of the community in the event of a disaster.

The Pembroke Public Li-brary will host the exhibit “Summer Dim: The Endless Twilight of Scottish Summer” with photographer Lance Keimig from Feb. 3-28.

The photographs in this exhibit were taken during the long twilight hours from about 11 p.m. to 4 a.m. on Scotland’s northern archipelagos of Orkney and Shetland. It never gets fully dark there in midsummer, and the sky glows with a magical light that the locals call “Sim-mer Dim.”

Keimig makes the most of the extraordinary light, photo-graphing the landscapes, mega-lithic archeological sites, and towns on the islands during the annual photo tours he has led to Scotland since 2003. The faint glow in the sky balances with the street lights of the towns like Stromness, Kirwall and Lerwick, and Keimig’s quiet studies of their architecture and narrow streets create a sense of anticipation.

Away from the towns and streetlights, Keimig often sup-plements the natural light of the landscape with a technique called light painting. The image, Bluebells, Woodwick House, appears as though the scene is lit from within, creating a sur-real and dreamlike scene.

Keimig is a Pembroke-

based photographer who is best known for night photography of the built environment. His book, “Night Photography: Finding Your Way In The Dark,” was published by Focal Press in Au-gust 2010.

Keimig is also the cura-tor of “Darkness, Darkness,” a traveling exhibit of night pho-tography that is on display at the Art Complex Museum in Dux-bury until Feb. 13. He is also

curator of the Three Columns Gallery at Harvard University. He has taught at the New Eng-land School of Photography in Boston since 2000, the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, The Photographic Re-source Center at Boston Univer-sity, and also leads workshops across the country.

Since 2001, Keimig has led annual photo tours to Ireland and Scotland and is planning a trip for August (learn more at ti-nyurl.com/skyetour). See more of Keimig’s work on his Web site, thenightskye.com.

The Mattakeesett Garden ➢Club of Pembroke offered a chance to win a $500 scholar-ship to college students who were home on school break. All they had to do was write an essay on the importance of volunteer work, how commu-nity service could benefit their community, adding a few sug-gestions on how to encourage involvement. The scholarship committee would like to thank all applicants for their qual-ity essays. The winner of the scholarship was Brett Rob-inson, who is a student at the University of Vermont. His es-say was selected because he addressed the topic in a clear and concise manner and listed some great suggestions on how to get people involved. Be sure to congratulate Brett when you see him around town.

Congratulations to all!

The Pembroke Public Li- ➢brary is preparing once again to offer Pembroke Reads, a town-wide program that encourages residents to read a common book and take part in related events. The program will start on Feb. 15 and run through the end of March. The selected book will be “Treasure Island,” the classic 19th-century novel by Robert Louis Stevenson. Li-brary Director Deborah Wall will have extra copies of the book available for borrowing at the library. The book will be available in various formats in-cluding audio and large print. The special events will include programs about pirates, the Caribbean, and other exciting topics to tie-in with Steven-son’s classic. A full schedule of events is being planned.

There is nothing like being held captive in your own home dur-ing a snowstorm. It is a great

time to work on a project you have been planning to start or complete. During a recent siege, I decided to clean out my refrigerator and pantry. I came across a five-pound bag of apples that I purchased for what I don’t know and had long forgotten about. I also came across an extra gallon of milk that John had apparently picked up in anticipation of the storm. I decided to turn the apples into applesauce — something I had not made for a long time. I found my Foley food mill and an old recipe and had a great time cooking that day. I had so much fun that when I reached the pantry to see what I had there and found a package of tapioca 1/3 full, I made a double batch of tapioca pudding.We might have been snow bound for a few days but we had plenty to eat. And now let’s see what’s going on around town.

The show will run Thurs-day, Feb. 10 and Friday, Feb. 11 at 7 p.m. and Saturday, Feb. 12 at 2 p.m. Tickets cost $10 for senior citizens and stu-dents and $12 for adults and are available at the PHS Mu-sic Department or at Sweet Fordy’s Bakery on Center Street.

Musical Director Marcie Herold said she chose “The Pajama Game” this year in part because it is one of her favorites.

“This was actually the first musical I ever saw,” said Her-old, whose father played Hines in a 1976 production put on by the Bay Players of Duxbury. “I grew up listening to the record. It was my first introduction to theater, and I have just loved it since.”

A classic, feel good mu-sical, “The Pajama Game” is also a more “adult” show than the troupe has performed in the past, Herold said.

“They’re union people, and they work in a factory, so they go out Friday nights and bowl and have a beer. We haven’t had that in our shows prior to this,” she said. “The love scenes are not just a peck on the cheek — the guys make innuendos. But the kids have done wonderful with the sub-ject matter. They’ve handled it with much dignity.”

The show is still quite family friendly, the actors say, and they promise lots of laughs and some great songs.

“The music’s really catchy,” said PHS junior Brittany Pennellatore, who plays Mabel — the “mother hen” character at the factory. “There are only a couple of ballads.”

Pennellatore played Mrs. Van Daan in the fall play “The Diary of Anne Frank” and said “The Pajama Game” has an entirely different feel to it.

“Doing ‘Anne,’ it was so serious. You would come to rehearsal and you were in a completely different mind-set than when you’re here,” she said. “Backstage here it’s like you’re goofing around and having fun with your friends, and with ‘Anne’ there was none of that. It was like work.”

In “The Pajama Game,” PHS senior Zach Henderson plays Sid Sorokin, the paja-ma factory’s handsome new superintendent who falls in love with Babe Williams, the head of the Union Grievance Committee (played by senior AJ Marino). With the union vs. management theme strong throughout, their romance has a “Romeo and Juliet” feel to it — though with a much hap-pier ending.

“I’m new to town, and as the superintendent I try to make sure everything’s run-ning well, and I can hire peo-

ple and fire people,” Hender-son said. “I fall in love with Babe, but because I’m in man-agement, I have to end up fir-ing her, and it’s a big ordeal.”

“But it all works out in the end,” Marino added.

A second love story in-volves Hines, the factory timekeeper, (played by se-nior Chris Feth) who is deal-ing with a battle of his own as he tries to control his jeal-ousy when it comes to his girlfriend, Gladys Hotchkiss (played by junior Karen Mc-Conarty), who is the boss’ secretary. Hines may have reason to worry, as the union president, “Prez” (played by senior Jake Schissel) is quite a womanizer despite being a married man.

Also in a key role is senior Kyle Tocher, who plays Mr. Hasler, the head of the pajama factory and the main barrier between the union and their 7 1/2-cent raise.

“He’s the antagonist, but he’s not all out bad,” Tocher said. “He’s like a Disney vil-lain.”

The cast also features a vo-cal troupe of 10 Factory Girls and a 25-member ensemble, plus a stage crew, sound and lighting team and orchestra pit. Helping Herold guide the young performers are band teacher Austin Glass, who leads the pit, and Director of Fine and Performing Arts Gw-ynne Sousa, who directs the show’s vocals.

“The Pajama Game” runs about 2 hours and 15 minutes, including an intermission.

Though the forecast looked brighter as of Monday, Herold and her troupe have planned ahead in case a snow-storm arrives on the night of the show. If bad weather forc-es them to cancel the Thurs-

the group should stay away from contractual issues and remain “advisory in nature” — focusing mainly on increas-ing recycling awareness in the community.

“I don’t want to have a board that is in conflict with the Board of Selectmen,” Boyle said. “We’re looking to increase our recycling. We’re looking to enhance what we do at the curbside. We’re not looking to take on new costs and equipment and so forth for the town, especially not when we’re faced with the local aid cuts that are coming.”

Though the Recycling Committee will not make fi-nal decisions on Pembroke’s recycling and solid waste pro-grams, Selectman Bill Boulter said they will have an impor-tant part in the conversation.

“We’re definitely going to consider their recommen-dations highly, like we do for any board that comes before the Board of Selectmen or any department that comes before the Board of Selectmen,” he said.

Selectman Dan Trabucco said he felt residents should know that the Board of Select-

men and town departments were already working toward changing the recycling pro-gram in town.

“I think it’s important that the public know and understand that since this Town Meeting, even though we haven’t been talking as much in our open meetings about recycling and trash … a lot has been going on behind the scenes [with cost/benefit analysis of and research on curbside recy-cling],” Trabucco said. “My goal at Town Meeting still is to have curbside recycling, curb-side pickup and capping the landfill, all for the same $270 we’ve been paying.”

Selectman Lew Stone sug-gested the committee talk with representatives from other towns that have recently in-creased the recycling rate,

such as Norwell.“I think the number one is-

sue, no matter what we finally decide and are able to do with the recycling center, is that we just need to increase the per-centage of recycling,” Stone said.

Happenings at Arnold HallDuring the weekend of Feb. 25-27,

Pembroke’s Arnold Hall Conference Center will host a group of high-

school-aged girls who are learning to prepare meals, care for the sick, decorate and do basic household repair as a positive contribution to their own families and their future homes.

Last year’s class included girls from Toron-to, Puerto Rico, Texas, Indiana, Washington, D.C., New York and Boston. This year’s class has been meeting on a regular basis to prepare for the competitions, project galleries, and sem-inars that will occur at the Arnold Hall Confer-ence Center in Pembroke on Feb. 25-27.

Students will compete for medals as they demonstrate technical skills and commitment to the ideal of service to others on topics such as “The Culinary Mystery Basket,” “The Proj-ect Gallery,” “Meals To Go,” “Mystery Laun-dry Basket” and “Dare To Repair.”

The 2011 Annual Art of Living Confer-ence is open to the public on Saturday, Feb. 26 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Guests of all ages are welcome on Saturday to view the events, of-fer encouragement to the participants and be heartened by their enthusiasm and abilities.

Other activities coming up at Arnold Hall:

Friday Night Club. Friday Night Club, an extension of Camp Mattakeesett, offers seventh and eighth grade girls the opportunity to learn to cook, organize parties, prepare a variety of meals, set a table and more. Spring 2011 Friday Night Club dates are Feb. 11, March 11 and 25, April 8 and 15 and May 13 and 27. Each class costs $5 and will be held from 7:30-9:30 p.m. at the Arnold Hall administration building on Randall Street in Pembroke.

Culinary classes for moms. Arnold Hall is offering a series of cooking classes, given by professional chefs, to women interested in improving the taste, quality and nutritional value of their home cooking. Participants will work “hands-on” in a large training kitchen un-der the supervision of professional chefs.

Spring 2011 Culinary Classes For Moms cost $10 per class and are held on Fri-day evenings at 7:30 p.m. on Feb. 11, March 25 and April 15 at Arnold Hall on Randall Street in Pembroke.

night, working or worrying; you’ve gotten me up early and tested my ability to tackle news before my first cup of coffee. We’ve laughed togeth-er, and we’ve cried together, and we’ve done it week after week after week.

But all good things come to an end, right?

Next week, I will no lon-ger be the editor of the Pem-broke Express but will be taking over as editor of the Whitman and Hanson Ex-presses, our sister papers. It is a move we at Clipper Press feel is right, and while I cannot begin to say how much I will miss Pembroke, I am looking at this change as an opportu-nity, a challenge. “Let’s just see,” I’m telling myself. “Let’s just see if you can get to know these towns the way you know Pembroke.” It would be easy to stay here, where I can walk into Town Hall and know near-ly everyone by name, where I can mark time by the passing of Pembroke events (Taste of Pembroke, Town Meeting, town election, Grand Ol’ Fish Fry, PHS gradua-tion, Olde Home Days Fair, etc.). I’m comfortable here. But maybe that’s just a sign that it’s time to shake things up.

Still, break-ing up is so hard to do.

I attended my first ever Town Meeting in Pembroke. (We don’t have such things in the Midwest.) I experienced my first week-long boil order here. I met the governor. I discov-ered there is an art to balanc-ing a camera, a voice recorder, a notebook, a pen and most recently a laptop computer, all while attempting to inter-view someone. I learned how to navigate Massachusetts’ crazy, curvy roads and how to identify nonnative aquatic plant species and about the complex language of school

budgets and MCAS reports. I’ve met some wonderful, tal-ented, smart, funny, hardwork-ing people. I’ve heard some heartbreaking stories. I’ve discovered that just when you think you’ve told all the tales

one town has to offer, there’s a new one just around the next crazy, curvy road.

Please excuse me if I gush, Pembroke. I love you.

I know you’re not perfect (I’m not, either). You can be your own worst critic. Like any town, you’ve got good, bad and even ugly. But you also stand up for your own. You give, give and then give again. You tell great jokes. You make beautiful artwork, and music, and throw great parties. You break down sometimes; you

need fixing up. You wish you had more money sometimes (we have that in common as well). But at the end of the day, you’re proud to be Pembroke. And I’m proud to be your Pem-broke Express editor.

If you have appreci-ated the work I’ve done for you over the past three years — if you at all like what we’ve built here in the Pembroke Express — the best thanks

you can offer me is to keep do-ing what you’re doing. Keep reading us. Keep sending us your news, announcements, photos and ideas. Keep calling us. Keep e-mailing. We’ll keep on being your paper no matter who’s at the helm.

And some part of me — Becca Manning, Editor — will always be Pembroke’s, too.

On behalf of the Friends of the Pembroke Library,

I would like to thank every-one who helped make our first ever Trivia Bowl a success. Proceeds from the event will go toward new technology at the Pembroke Public Library.

On Saturday, Feb. 5, the Friends hosted Trivia Bowl 2011 at the Pembroke Knights of Columbus. Team tables of up to 10 people competed for the chance to be named Trivia Bowl champion and to win a cash prize. A wonder-ful group of teachers from the Plympton Schools answered the most questions correctly

and were named Trivia Bowl Champions. The team gener-ously donated a portion of their cash prize to the Friends of the Pembroke Library.

The Trivia Bowl fundrais-er would not have been pos-sible without all the Friends volunteers whose hard work and determination made the event a success. I would also like to extend a special thank you to a fantastic group of women that always come through when the Friends ask for baked goods donations. We had a most impressive dessert table complements of our volunteer bakers.

If you were not able to at-

tend Trivia Bowl but would like to support the Pembroke Public Library, please con-sider becoming a member. The Friends of the Pembroke Library 2011 Membership Drive kicked off this month. A year-long membership is only $10. Business sponsor-ships are $50 annually. Mem-bership dues help us provide many extras to our communi-ty library. If you join or renew by March 15, you will auto-matically be entered to win a gift certificate.

Because of the latest snow day, Pembroke High School’s forum on the school’s core values and beliefs has been changed to Wednesday, March 2. Parents, community members, School Committee members, administrators, teachers and students are invited to attend an important evening of conversation and discussion from 7-8:30 p.m. in the high school library: “What Do We Believe about Educating Children at Pembroke High School?” The goal of the meeting will be to write a revised state-ment concerning the school’s core beliefs. It has been five years since Pembroke High School developed a mission statement.

The Pembroke Public School District is accepting applica-tions for its tuition-based, full-day kindergarten program for the 2011-12 school year. All Pembroke children eligible to enter kin-dergarten in September 2011 are welcome to apply. Applications are available at each elementary school and at pembrokepublic-schools.org.

Continuation of the full-day kindergarten programs and tu-ition pricing are pending recommendations of the School Com-mittee. The 2010-11 school year tuition was $3,500.

Applications must be hand-delivered to: Linda Mulkern, Department of Student Services, North Pembroke Elementary School, 72 Pilgrim Road, Pembroke, MA 02359. Applications must be delivered by 3 p.m. on Friday, March 4.

Names will be selected by lottery on Monday, March 7 at 9 a.m. in the large group instruction room at North Pembroke El-ementary School. Parents will be mailed lottery results as soon as possible.

Transportation is available to all children selected for full-day program for the neighborhood school; established fees ap-ply. In the event of openings within full-day programs outside of a family’s neighborhood school district, a second lottery will be held. Parents will be responsible for transportation.

Families that are on AFDC, eligible for food stamps or that meet federal income guidelines for free or reduce meals may apply for a waiver or reduction in tuition. Financial or other personal circumstances will be treated with confidentiality.

For more information, call the Department of Student Ser-vices at 781-826-8740.

The Board of Health is offering Pembroke residents a special deal on rain barrels and compost bins in an effort to save everyone a little money and promote environmentally friendly habits.

Health Agent Lisa Cul-lity presented selectmen with samples of the two products at Monday night’s meeting and said the items would be avail-able for residents by Earth Day (April 22). Orders are being taken now for the rain barrels and compost bins; order forms are available in the Board of Health office on the second floor of Town Hall.

Cullity also is looking to partner with local nonprofit groups to get them a share of money raised through the sale of these products. She asked interested groups, such as Boy Scout or Girl Scout troops or the local garden club, to con-tact her office for information.

“This machine gets the trash out of the revenue stream, where we’re paying $100 a ton to get rid of it now,” Cullity said, pointing to the Earth Machine compost bin — a large black bin made of recycled plastic that converts grass, leaves and table scraps into compost. The bin holds up to 80 gallons, stands 35 inches tall and costs $50 (typically available for about $100).

The rain barrel costs $65 (typically around $120) and can be placed under a home’s downspout system to collect runoff water. It has a mesh top that filters out bugs and leaves and can be connected to a hose at the bottom and used to water lawns, indoor or outdoor plants and for other uses. It holds about 55 gallons.

“This will help save you on those expensive water bills,” Cullity said of the barrel, add-ing that natural rainwater was better for plants than treated water from the tap.

Cullity said she has two rain barrels about the same size at her house and that one heavy rain event in April will fill both barrels.

The Board of Health also is selling two-gallon kitchen

scrap pails with lids for $10 each for the temporary stor-age of food items until they are added to the compost bin.

Cullity said the use of all three products will help the town by reducing water usage and trash tonnage and help res-idents by saving them on their trash and water bills.

Residents can stop by the Board of Health office to see samples of the products, Cul-lity said. All orders must be received by March 28 for de-livery by Saturday, April 23. Items may be picked up at the recycling center on Hobomock Street between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. that day.

For information about the bins, call Lisa Cullity at 781-709-1409 or e-mail [email protected].

The boys hockey team ap-pears to be tournament bound again this season, but it felt like their season was still hanging in the balance Sunday against Whitman-Hanson.

The Titans came into the game 24 hours removed from their second loss to the Scituate Sailors and their third straight overall, a skid that knocked them out of the lead in the Pa-triot League and threatened to plummet them into third place if they lost to the Panthers.

However, the Titans not only righted the ship, they dominated Whitman-Hanson for a 6-1 win at Rockland Rink that showed why they were early favorites for the South Sectional championship.

The Titans kept their emo-tions in check Sunday and steered clear of the penalties that were the biggest factor in Pembroke’s recent losing streak. The Titans only went to the box three times in the game, their lowest total of the season, and overwhelmed the Panthers at even strength.

“It was by far our most disciplined game of the sea-son,” head coach Mark Duffy said. “[After the loss to Scitu-ate on Saturday,] we had some internal meetings to address our play, and we played a great team game on Sunday. We had scoring from all three lines, and this was a big two points for us.”

The Titans took a 1-0

lead into the second period on Shane Bowen’s first goal of the season. Pembroke put the game away in the second when they outscored the Pan-thers 3-1 behind goals from Jack Reardon, Tom Cahill and Pat Heffernan.

“We really hit the back of the net in that period,” Duffy said. “We spent a lot of time attacking in their zone.”

Heffernan added some more insurance with his sec-ond goal of the game in the third period, and Mike Fall finished off the scoring for the Titans, who remained two points behind Scituate for the league lead.

The Sailors continued to frustrate the Titans on Satur-day, when they won their sixth straight game over the Titans (dating back to 2009) with their 5-2 victory at Hobomock Ice Arena.

“They always seem to bring the best or the worst out of us depending on how you look at it,” Duffy said. “It’s a hurdle that we haven’t been able to overcome. We’ve got a few more cracks at them this season, and we have to build off this.”

Things started badly for the Titans when captain Paul Tower was sent to the box for interference 13 seconds into the game, and Dan DelGrosso capitalized for Scituate’s first goal one minute and 39 sec-onds into the first. The Sailors added another power-play goal by Alex Way at the 3:05 mark and went up 3-0 with four sec-onds left in the period on a breakaway by Devon Flynn.

“We dug ourselves a hole with undisciplined play,” “If we stay out of the box we’re a good hockey club and when we go five-on-five, we can skate with most teams in our

league. It’s a matter of being mentally prepared and playing disciplined hockey. We did it for those 15 minutes [in the third period] and we need to build off that.”

Flynn added his second goal at the 6:28 mark in the second on a one-timer from DelGrosso while Matt Gen-tile stymied the Titans in net. Pembroke captain Chris Wa-terfield finally broke through in the third on a backhander from Matt Sheehan, and Rear-don cut the lead to two with a redirection with 1:30 left in the game.

However, the Titans could not get any closer, and Flynn picked up the hat trick with an empty-net goal as time ran out.

The Titans will get another shot at the Sailors in the first round of the Gould Tourna-ment on Feb. 2, but have a tough stretch before then with four games in five days against Oliver Ames, Norwell, Ha-nover and Duxbury.

SENIOR MOMENTS

Reardon captained the golf team to a South Sec-tional championship and second place in the state last fall and is currently a winger on

the hockey team. He will end his athletic career at Pembroke High School on the baseball diamond this spring before playing golf in college. He shared his thoughts on …

… choosing a school. I don’t know yet, but I think I’m either going to St. Lawrence in New York or to Providence [College] for golf. The St. Lawrence golf coach contacted me, and I’ve been up there a few times. It’s the best golf program up there. Provi-dence I just like — a couple of my family members went there.

… choosing a major. I’m undecided. St. Law-rence is a liberal arts school, so that’s what I’d do if I went there.

… playing golf. I didn’t play serious until fresh-man year, when I really started to play tournaments. I play every day over the summer now in tournaments. I like how you can play it every day all day long and you can play for your whole life.

… his favorite memories as a Titan. Some of the tour-nament games in hockey my sophomore and junior year were good, and then definitely winning the sectionals this year with the golf team was the best one. Coming in second in the state was pretty good.

… how he spends his free time. I just like to hang out with friends and play video games.

… his goals after high school. I don’t know. Maybe see how far golf will take me. Apart from that, just have a successful job and make some money.

A visit with golf captain Jack Reardon

Sullivan and Paige Carswell adding the third and fourth goals to put the game away.

Assistant captains Alex Davis and Tricia Stacy also got in on the scoring in ad-dition to containing Conlan from their defensemen posi-tions. Davis assisted on both of Murray’s goals as well as Sullivan’s, and Stacy picked up an assist on Carswell’s score.

The team also got an emotional boost with the re-turn of Sophia Nogueria, who had missed most of the sea-son after being injured in the

first game.“It was great have Sophia

back in the line up as she is 100 percent recovered,” head coach Joe Coulter said. “This is always a great time in the season to have everyone back, healthy and playing very well as a team.”

WHP has six games left on their schedule, five of which are against teams they already own victories over this season. They head to Hyannis on Saturday to play second-place Barnstable and make a quick stop at home to play Scituate Wednesday be-fore another long road trip to Martha’s Vineyard.

The Titans just missed sending a third relay team to Sunday’s Sectional swim meet at MIT with a strong showing at the All Patriot League meet in Middleboro on Saturday.

The team of Tamara Mitch-ell, Jenn Salas, Molly Dillon and Jessica Merritt set a new team record in the 400-yard freestyle relay, and missed a sectional qualifying time by three seconds in one of sev-eral strong performances for the girls team.

Dillon, who already has state qualifying times in the butterfly and backstroke, took second and third in the two events at the meet, while Mer-ritt broke the seven-minute mark in the 500 freestyle for the first time, finishing in 6:50.

“The girls had a lot of good swims,” head coach Bri-

an Noyes said. “It was a good day.”

It was also a good day for the boys team, with Brad Da-vison, Alex Lyons, Dan Shee-han and Jay Wainwright set-ting a new school record with their fourth place finish in the 200 freestyle relay.

“That was a big drop in time for them,” Noyes said. “Two school records in one day is pretty good.”

Sheehan was also named a Patriot League All-Star, and took fourth in the backstroke, with teammate Andrew Cross-man taking seventh with a personal best time. The 200

medley relay team also took home a fourth place finish.

The meet was the end of the road for the boys team, who did not earn any sectional qualifying times this season. Noyes said the team is losing some talented seniors, but the goal next year is for the Titans to get a boys relay team into the Sectionals.

“We have a lot of talented

swimmers, so we’re going to try to find one relay and fo-cus on that,” he said. “But the boys’ qualifying times are very tough, not that the girls’ aren’t, but the boys’ times are even harder.”

The girls 200 medley relay team of Jenna Bostwick, Dil-lon, Emma Ripatrazone and Salas and the 200 freestyle relay team of Bostwick, Salas,

Ripatrazone and Mitchell will swim at Sunday’s Sectional meet with the hopes that they can join Dillon at the state meet.

“They are hoping they can drop their times and get to the state meet,” Noyes said. “Molly is already going, but it would be nice to send a team there as well.”

Breathing room for WHPGirls hockey team takes down Marshfield


Mother Nature has not been kind to Whitman-Han-son/Pembroke girls hockey in recent weeks. The team has been hovering around the .500 mark for most of the season, and after losing to Fontbonne Academy and tying Sandwich last week, the team had to wait anoth-er week for a chance to get back on the ice and back in the win column.

Saturday’s game was worth the wait.

WHP scored four un-answered goals against the Rams en route to a 4-1 win at the Hobomock Ice Arena in Pembroke to improve to 6-4-1 on the season.

WHP struggled to con-tain the Rams’ big center Ka-tie Conlan early in the game. The number two goal-scorer in the Southeastern League struck less than three min-utes into the game when she

wrested a rebound past Kel-ly Travers to give the Rams the lead.

However, Marshfield’s lead wouldn’t hold, courtesy of Kelsey Murray. Murray
