“If passion drives you, let reason hold the reins.” — Benjamin Franklin

By Becca Manning, express staff [email protected]

Whether they’re coming from a district with 135 school buildings or a district with just three, the two candidates interviewed Tuesday night for the job of Pembroke Pub-lic Schools business manager said they look forward to the unique challenges Pembroke would provide.

After reviewing 30 ap-plications and interviewing seven candidates, the screen-

ing committee recommended two candidates for the posi-tion: Erin Sullivan-Obey, who has worked as the budget co-ordinator for Boston Public Schools for five years, and David DeGennaro, business manager for Cohasset Public Schools for five years.

“We were all in consensus that the two candidates that we brought tonight were by far the strongest,” said School


Pam Rowell would be proud.

The recreation director who strived to en-sure every kid felt included will be remembered with a

special event Saturday that truly offers s o m e t h i n g for everyone, from a classic car show and police K-9 demonstra-

tion to arts and crafts, music, games, raffles and Rowell’s famous popcorn.

Organized by her fam-ily and friends, the carnival-style Pammy’s Day will run from 12-4 p.m. on the Town Green and will raise funds for one of Rowell’s causes: building a skate park in Pem-broke.

Rowell died suddenly of a heart attack in September.

As the town’s recreation director for more than a de-cade, Rowell was a longtime advocate for a Pembroke skate park, in part, because

she saw it as filling a need for local children, according to her daughter, Kerri-Anne Rowell-Ford.

“The kids who do sports have a place to go. The kids who do arts and crafts have a place to go. This was one group that didn’t have a

place, and that to her was im-portant,” Rowell-Ford said. “She said ‘I’m going to find this group a place, and it’s going to be right under my nose.’”

A portion of the money raised on Saturday will be used to purchase a bench in Rowell’s honor, to be placed on the Town Green. The hope is to have the bench in-stalled before the recreation

Concerned that one board’s decision could “bind” the other if two members were allowed to be on both the Plan-ning Board and Department of Public Works, officials decid-ed to go in a different direction Monday night.

In a joint session with the DPW commissioners, select-men voted 4-3 to appoint Ben Bastianelli to an open seat on the DPW board, choos-ing him over P l a n n i n g Board mem-ber Tom Ir-ving.

O t h e r board mem-bers include l o n g t i m e DPW Com-missioner Jim Kilcommons and Planning Board member Paul Whitman, who was elect-ed May 1 to the seat formerly held by Hank Daggett.

DPW Commissioner Kev-in Crowley resigned earlier this year, leaving a second seat open.

Kilcommons argued against appointing Irving to the empty seat while Whit-man remained on the Planning

Geography is defined by dictionary.com as “the science

dealing with the areal differen-tiation of the earth’s surface.” This may sound a little bor-ing to the typical 12-year-old. Hobomock Elementary School sixth grade teacher Amy Du-rgin has the job of adding ex-citement to the subject. Her hard work and dedication was recently recognized with the John Riley Award for Excel-lence in teaching geography at the K-12 level. The award is presented annually by the Massachusetts Council for Social Studies to one educator in Massachusetts who demon-strates exceptional ability in the field of geography educa-tion. Not resting on these lau-rels, Durgin is continuing her studies by pursing a doctorate in education through North-eastern University.

How long have you been a teacher? I have been teach-ing for 32 years, all of them in Pembroke starting at the Cen-ter School. The last 16 years have been at Hobomock. I had never aspired to be a teacher, although my two great-aunts, grandmother and dear Aunt Frannie all taught. I was study-ing to be a historian. When I got my BA (bachelor’s of arts) in history, I found I had no marketable skills. I am now pursuing a doctorate in educa-tion at Northeastern, which is where I began my training to become a teacher.

What was your reaction when you won the award? I was very excited to win the award. I was also very sur-prised. I have worked very hard to become knowledgeable but have only been teaching the subject for a half dozen years. I was comfortably ensconced in world history when I was told by [former Pembroke Super-intendent] Dr. Randall that we would be realigning the cur-riculum closer with the state frameworks for geography and I would become a geography teacher.

How were you nominated for the award? A dear friend of mine from my doctoral program, Kathy Babini, who is the social studies curricu-lum coordinator in Plymouth, nominated me. I have known her through my years as a part of the SE MAGNET group. I have been very active in this group and have started teach-ing other teachers about geog-raphy.

Studies have shown that U.S. students have struggled with geography. How do you inspire a child to learn about the subject? I think a lot of students come in with the mis-conception that it is just about memorizing capitals. What I talk about is ‘genuine geog-raphy’, taking on the role of a trained geographer, looking at the challenges people face. We study the past and present and make plans for the future. We have looked at population pyramids from 1990 to 2040, looking at the needs of today and the future, having the stu-

dents understand the impact of having a larger number of older people or see the growth in some areas of the world.

What is your favorite part of your job? It has to be the children. I love working with sixth graders. I thrive off of the excitement that they show in learning about their world. They can interpret the infor-mation and are more aware of their world. They understand the challenges that they face and the similarities to the peo-ple they are studying.

What are some of your hobbies that you like to do in your spare time? I love to travel the world visiting exotic locations. I have been to China twice and went to Egypt last February. It is interesting to go to the same places as famous people such as Genghis Khan. I could never park myself on a beach; I am too much of a rest-less soul. I also enjoy cooking. I find it very relaxing, after a good day of teaching, to cook up a good meal.

The Town Memorial Com-mittee gave their annual pre-view of Memorial Day activi-ties at the selectmen’s meeting Monday night, with acting ser-geant-in-arms Maj. Kathleen Keegan reading the governor’s proclamation.

Keegan was filling in for her husband, Capt. Sean Kee-gan, who is scheduled to return later this month after a year in Iraq with the U.S. Army Na-tional Guard. He will serve as the sergeant-in-arms for the Memorial Day ceremony.

Kathleen Keegan also is a member of the Army National Guard.

Memorial Day events will begin Friday, May 28, with members of the Memorial Committee visiting all three elementary schools. On Sun-day, May 30 committee mem-bers will attend church servic-es at First Church in Pembroke Center at 10 a.m. The group attends a different Pembroke church each year.

The public is encouraged to attend the church service as well as the parade and cere-mony scheduled for Memorial Day, Monday, May 31.

The parade will form at 1 p.m. at the Lucky Dawg park-ing lot on Mattakeesett Street. All veterans, active military personnel, town officials, pa-triotic groups, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, youth organiza-tions, members of the Military Support Group and other civic-minded groups or citizens are encouraged to join the parade.

“We would really love to have all the veterans come, whether you can march or not,” Memorial Committee chairman Linda Osborne said.

Those veterans, military personnel and town officials who are unable to walk the pa-rade route are invited to come to the First Church between 12:15 p.m. and 12:30 p.m. to board the trolley.

“Last year, the trolley was half empty. We would love to fill it up this year,” Osborne said.

The parade will step off at 1:30 p.m. and proceed down Mattakeesett Street to Center

Street, arriving in front of the First Church on the Town Me-morial Green at around 2 p.m. The public is invited to watch along the parade route and then proceed to the green for the ceremony.

The ceremony will begin once all units have assembled on the green.

The Memorial Day cer-emony will include several speakers, music by the Pem-broke High School Marching Band, the Brockton Cosmo Legion Band and others and a wreath ceremony.

Also Monday, the select-men approved a request from the Pembroke Military Sup-port Group for permission to hang American flag banners on utility poles throughout the center of town. The poles previously were used to hang holiday banners and posters

advertising the library’s Pem-broke Reads program.

“We thought it would be appropriate to have flags to dis-play our patriotism and show just how proud we are of our soldiers, sailors and all those who serve in the military,” said Diane Tobin, member of the Military Support Group.

Selectmen also agreed to fund the banners with $800 from the Camp Pembroke fund, money donated to the town by the girls’ camp and used for special projects.

The flag banners will be town property and will be hung throughout the year for patriotic holidays, Tobin said.

Pembroke man in court for OUI charges

A Pembroke man was in Brockton District Court on Thursday for a pretrial hearing relat-ing to drunk driving.

On April 30, 2009, a Hanson police officer witnessed a motorcycle almost swerve off the roadway onto the sidewalk just before enter-ing the intersection of Washington Street and Temple Street in Hanson and continue through the stop sign, according to the police report.

The motorcycle was stopped at the intersec-tion of South Avenue and Laurel Street. As the operator attempted to get off his bike, it lurched forward. He then put the bike into neutral and shut it off, according to the report.

The operator David C. McSweeney, 27, was arrested for OUI and also was found to be operating a motorcycle without a permit.

A jury trial hearing has been scheduled for July 13.

Assault charges against DPW commissioner to be dismissed

Assault charges filed against Department of Public Works Commissioner Jim Kilcommons earlier this year for an incident that occurred

last November will be dismissed next month, according to court documents.

On May 6, Kilcommons, 84, of Fairwood Drive, admitted to two charges of assault and battery of a police officer in Plymouth District Court. His case was continued without a find-ing for one month, with charges to be dismissed after that, according to documents.

Kilcommons was accused of pushing and shouting obscenities at two Pembroke officers who showed up at his home on Nov. 25 to col-lect information on a case.

Kilcommons was summonsed on the charg-es on March 2.

The DPW commissioner called the case an “unnecessary nuisance” and said he was ready to forget about it. He did not want to comment further.

“It should never have taken place,” he said Tuesday. “It was a waste of time and a waste of money. It’s over and dropped, and that’s the end of it.”

For the second week in a row, selectmen heard from residents frustrated over a neighbor’s dogs.

River Point Drive resi-dents John and Mary Boucher and Christine Rinkus told se-lectmen their neighbor Laurie Bowes’ two dogs were causing a nuisance with their exces-sive barking and that the prob-lem had been ongoing since shortly after Bowes moved next door in 2004.

John Boucher said he and his wife had called Animal Control Officer Bill Hart nu-merous times over the past six years to report the problem but that Hart had failed to return most of their calls or to ad-dress the problem.

They appealed to select-men at a public hearing Mon-day night.

“The dogs bark non-stop, morning, noon and night,” John Boucher said. We just don’t know what to do. Call-ing the dog officer is not the solution, because it doesn’t do us any good. I hate calling the police, but we just feel it’s not fair. There are town bylaws prohibiting this. It’s time that the town takes some action.”

Boucher said one of the dogs had ripped apart his screens several years ago while trying to get to his daughter’s beagle, who was there for a visit.

Hart said he had visited Bowes’ house at 109 Washing-ton Street at least three times in response to neighbors’ calls; each time, he sat outside for about an hour but did not no-tice excessive barking.

“There was only one time the dog barked for 10 min-utes, when the kids got off the school bus,” Hart said.

He said he spoke to Bowes, who explained that she had re-moved a no-bark collar (the type that gives the animal a quick jolt when it begins bark-ing loudly) temporarily be-cause it had given the pet a sore on his neck.

Bowes said she has done everything she could to keep the dogs, a German shepherd mix and black Lab mix, from

barking for long periods of time. The dogs are licensed, have their shots and are kept in a fenced-in yard.

“I do have the dog collars. They bark a couple times and I can’t help it, but the collars shock them and they stop,” she said. “I feel like every time the dog barks once that some-body’s going to call and com-plain. It’s a little ridiculous.”

Bowes provided copies of police reports outlining seven complaints made against her since 2004; two were labeled “unfounded” by police, she said.

Selectmen said they were concerned to hear that residents could not get in touch with the animal control officer.

“This is the second week in a row that we’ve had dog hearings and two parties are saying they called you numer-ous times without any action, and that’s a concern of mine,” Selectman Greg Hanley told Hart.

Last week, the board voted to banish two Presa Canarios at 69 Center Street as a nui-sance after neighbors com-plained that the animals had continually been on their prop-erty. Neighbors at that hearing also said Hart had not returned their calls.

Hart said he had spoken with both the neighbors and the owner in the latest case and always responded to a call by visiting the house in question.

But, he added, he has many calls to respond to every day.

“I’m one person for 19 square miles,” Hart said.

Selectmen suggested Hart begin keeping a log of every call he receives and the action taken, which Hart agreed to do.

The board voted to con-tinue the hearing in 30 days and asked Hart, as well as the neighbors, to document all instances where Bowes’ dogs were barking excessively.

In other business on Mon-day:

• Selectmen approved the transfer of a package store li-quor license from Mark Sha-nahan, the former owner of Bryantville Wine & Spirits, to the Hena N Deeya Corpora-

tion, managed by Jitendra Pa-tel. Patel and his family have owned the 7-Eleven stores on Salem Street in Plymouth and in Pembroke Center for many years and plan to reopen the store at 15 School Street as Bryantville Liquors around July 1.

• The board accepted the resignation of Dottie Ma-cInnes from the Community Preservation Committee.

The night before Mother’s Day, John and I headed into Boston for dinner at Pigale’s Restau-

rant and then to see “Jesus Christ Su-perstar” at the Citi Wang Theatre. The musical was playing for only five days and was starring Ted Neeley as Jesus of Nazareth for the last time. Both the dinner and the show were fantastic, and Mother’s Day weekend was off to a good start. I was treated to brunch at the Pembroke Country Club the next morning by one daughter and her fam-ily. That afternoon, I attended my first lacrosse game ever. My 11-year-old grandson, who was playing in the game, told me he was the best defensive player his coach had on the team. When I told him I thought that was wonderful, he qualified his statement by telling me that at least that was his opinion of how it was. Kids are great, and my conversation with him certainly made my day. And now let’s see what’s going on around town.

Writing what she knows

By stephanie spyropoulos, express contriButor

Trudy Sheehan has always enjoyed ex-ercising her creative

side, whether it is keeping a journal or painting in her free time, so writing a novel seemed like a natural fit.

But it was only after she completed her first book and re-ceived rave reviews from local book clubs that Sheehan real-ized how much she could offer others through her work.

She recently returned to her hometown of Pembroke to speak about her first novel, “Whispers from the Bridge,” to a group of 10 wom-en who were part of a monthly book club through the Women’s Club of Pembroke.

“Trudy was great,” book club member Mimi Sullivan Gallagh-er said of the au-thor. “This book is a quick, easy read, and the author being there to answer any unanswered questions was really nice.”

The hostess also appreci-ated having the author be part of the book discussion.

“It was wonderful to have her there while we dis-cussed various topics and themes from the book,” Lynch said. “To hear her perspectives, and about the sequel, was in-valuable. I truly enjoyed hear-ing about her journey devel-oping her first book and look forward to continuing it with her with the sequel and be-yond.”

The women are looking for-ward to Sheehan’s next install-ment, a sequel entitled “Facing the Truth,” which is scheduled to be released in June, as well as a field trip to Duxbury Beach, where Sheehan has promised to do a second reading.

Self-published through Au-thorHouse in 2008, “Whispers from the Bridge” tells the story of Jenny Hoyt, an aging woman who goes back in time to relive her past and explore her child-hood memories. The sequel continues Jenny’s story.

Sheehan, who considers herself “very spiritual, with a strong intuitive sense,” said the idea for “Whispers” came to her as a sort of vision.

“I went to Duxbury. I parked at the bridge, and when I stepped on the first plank this story came to me. I wrote the first chapter there on the beach in outline form,” she said.

A former hairdresser and owner of Trudy’s Hair Design in Bryantville, Sheehan now works at the admitting offices of South Shore Hospital, where she has been for 23 years. Her love of journaling and poetry

has kept her intuitions burning, finally allowing her to complete her first novel after her children grew up.

Along with publishing her second novel, Sheehan said she plans to finish a children’s book she wrote several years prior.

Sheehan grew up in Pem-broke on Barker Street and graduated from Silver Lake Re-gional High School. She lived in the same house for many years and later found herself buying the very home she had grown up in, which is one of several “full circle” experienc-es she has had in her life.

Sheehan said her characters are relatable but not based on any particular person.

“The main character Jenny, I connect with most. As a young girl, she experienced a lot. She was brought up to believe a cer-tain way. She forgives and han-dles things in the same way as I do and has some similar traits,” Sheehan said.

The process of self-pub-lishing was an easy choice for Sheehan, who received limited response to her query letters.

“Stephen King got turned down 28 times. I knew it was a good book and people would enjoy it — that is why I self-published,” she said. “I don’t think you should let anyone stop you on your dreams.”

“I have had so many won-derful comments that I feel suc-cessful, and I don’t need to sell a million novels. I gain reward in giving people pleasure from what I write,” she added.

Writing a sequel came eas-ily, as Sheehan had the entire story in her head already.

“I just have to put it to-gether. I like to have a shocking ending where I play with the reader, but I also offer subtle clues incorporated in the book,” she said.

Along with a personal drive and imagination, Sheehan cites the importance of family as a key to her success.

“When I finished the [first] book, I took my daughter and we ate dinner on the beach. I read the last three chapters to her. She got up and hugged me and said, ‘You are an author.’ It made me feel accomplished,” Sheehan said. “It was perfect, and when I read her the last line it was so fulfilling.”

As for the writing process itself, Sheehan said she finds writing flows pretty easily — she prefers writing in long-hand, not typing.

“My husband is very sup-portive and he types the book to finish it,” she said.

Board, saying he did not feel the two boards should mix.

“There’s two boards here — they think different, they work different, they have dif-ferent budgets, their objectives are different, their accomplish-ments are different,” Kilcom-mons said. “I don’t think you can commingle two boards to-gether.”

Whitman said he wanted to see if he could manage both positions but that he might be stepping down from the Planning

Board.“I want-

ed to see how it would work out. It may not,” he said.

Legally, Whitman can be a member of both boards, as could Irving, according to Town Administrator Ed Thorne.

But Kilcommons and oth-ers argued that having a major-ity of one board as members of another could raise issues.

“You have a situation where, once the Planning Board meets, you’ve got a quorum of the DPW, so you would in fact have a meeting of the DPW going on at the same time,” Selectman Arthur Boyle said. “It would be like having a committee meeting with three of the selectmen on it; every vote would bind the board.”

Irving said, if appointed to the DPW board, he and Whit-man would be recused from any votes that came up at a Planning Board meeting re-garding the DPW.

Whitman said the boards were on different schedules (Planning Board meets the second and fourth Mondays and the DPW meets the first and third).

“I don’t see it as a large issue, because the Planning Board works on streets, drain-age, water and the retention ar-eas of town roads before they go to Town Meeting to be ap-proved for acceptance,” Whit-man said. “They do similar things.”

Irving said he felt the two boards were complementary.

“They work together,” Ir-ving said. “I didn’t think of it as being a real issue of one

board against the other.”Irving owns Construction

Consulting Services of Pem-broke and said he has about 49 years of experience working in both the engineering and con-tracting sides of construction.

Selectman Dan Trabucco, a former Planning Board mem-ber, said though there was no conflict legally and both candi-dates seemed qualified, he felt having one member serving on both boards was enough.

“I’m sure that certain peo-ple are talented enough to do both and to separate the two duties, because they might have a little overlap but they really are two separate entities. There are people that can do that,” Trabucco said. “But we have a choice; we don’t have to put two Planning Board members in right now.”

Bastianelli, who owns Quincy-based construction company Ocean Builders Inc. and Pembroke Collision, said he could offer a “different thought process” for the DPW board.

“If all things are equal in the playing field and the two candidates are of equal capac-ity and capable of handling the position, why wouldn’t the town want to entertain a more diverse situation as opposed to taking entities from one board and placing them on another?” he asked.

Bastianelli also serves on the Advisory Committee but will step down from that board because members cannot be involved with any other board that operates a budget.

He will have to run for election to the seat next spring in order to finish out Crowley’s term, which expires in 2012.

Kilcommons, Trabucco and selectmen Bill Boulter and Lew Stone all voted to appoint Bastianelli. Boyle, Whitman and Selectman Greg Hanley voted for Irving.

Families should pack a picnic and bring a blanket and a Frisbee to throw. RSVP to [email protected] or [email protected].


department’s Summer Hap-penings program begins, said Rowell-Ford, who is organiz-ing Pammy’s Day with help from her brothers, aunts and other family members and friends.

“We wanted something good to come out of her death,” Rowell-Ford said. “We felt like she wasn’t finished. We wanted to finish this one thing for her.”

All-day activities will in-clude temporary tattoos, face painting, hair braiding and beading, cookie decorating, tissue paper flower kits, sepa-rate moonwalks for ages 4 and under and older kids, a bungee run, inflatable basketball game, bean bag game, ring toss and much more.

With a few of her favorite things sprinkled throughout, Pammy’s Day will definitely represent its namesake.

“My mom was big on her sandals. She always wore san-dals no matter what,” Rowell-Ford said. “So people can make their own Pam-dals [decorated sandals].”

And there will be food: hot dogs, hamburgers, fried dough and “Pammy-corn.”

“My mom was famous for her popcorn,” Rowell-Ford said. “At all the commissioners meetings, she’d pop popcorn for them.”

To raise some seed money for the event, organizers sold more than 540 blue Pammy’s Day bracelets; they will sell the remaining bracelets at the event. Those who show up wearing their Pammy’s Day bracelets will receive a free bag of Pammy-corn, Rowell-Ford said.

The event will be run like a carnival, with two ticket tables set up at either end of the green. Tickets cost a dollar each or 30 tickets for $20, and every ac-tivity will require tickets, from food to crafts, Rowell-Ford said.

Pammy’s Day also will feature a K-9 demonstration by the Plymouth County Sheriff’s Department, a BMX demon-stration, a live performance by the Toe Jam Puppet Band, a classic car show and a visit from Mickey and Minnie (yes, that Mickey and Minnie).

“My mom was a huge Dis-ney fan. I honestly can’t count how many times we went to Disney as children, and it just continued on with her grand-children,” Rowell-Ford said. “She made it to Disney World

with all of her grandchildren at some point [there are six].”

There will be a variety of $1 raffle items — 27 in all —ranging from toys to DVDs to Adirondack chairs. The big items will be raffled off for $5 per ticket and include a 24-inch flat screen TV with PlaySta-tion 3, Red Sox tickets, an au-tographed Jonathan Papelbon baseball, a handmade quilt, a four-piece Vera Bradley lug-gage set, a lobster dinner bas-ket including a $100 gift card to Legal Seafood and a BMX bike.

Rowell-Ford said she got a tremendous response when seeking raffle items and other support for the event.

“Everyone was doing it for my mom. It’s so rewarding to know that,” she said. “She had so many little pet projects, but this one stayed so close to her because it was ongoing for 10 years. Even if they had differ-ent views about the skate park, everyone has been on the same side for my mother.”

A few days after Pam’s death, the Board of Selectmen formally approved a location for the skate park, behind the community center, next to the library, where a playground currently sits. The playground will be relocated down the hill near the baseball field.

Since then the Skate Park Committee, led by local teens and their parents, has been busy raising funds and working on a design for the park, which they posted on their Facebook page (Pembroke Skatepark).

The group has raised about $35,000 toward their $150,000 goal, according to Donna Can-none, whose daughter Lau-ren restarted the project with friend Leah Van Sickle three years ago.

“Pam was determined to see

it built. She was very passion-ate about this park,” Cannone said. “We’ve kept it going, and we’ve got a great committee. People are really coming out of the woodwork to support us. It’s going to happen.”

Last Saturday, the group raised $1,000 at a BMX dem-onstration in Hyde Park, and they will be at Pammy’s Day this weekend selling stickers and helping with setup and cleanup.

But while proceeds are benefiting the skate park proj-ect, ultimately this Saturday is about something else.

“This is a day to honor Pam,” Cannone said. “Her family’s being great and do-nating proceeds to the skate park, but we’re there to honor Pam.”

You’ve just lost someone close to you, and it’s a difficult, stressful time. You’re grieving, yet there’s so much to do: funeral arrangements to make, family to care for. And as painful as it may seem, there is also urgent business concerning your finances. Here’s a checklist, by no means complete, to help you get started:

-ment. Find out whether he or she was covered by employee group insurance. You should also ask about any pension benefits, accrued vaca-tion or sick pay, and credit union accounts.

loved one belonged to. You might be eligible for benefits through these groups.

are covered by credit life insurance that pays off the balance in the event of a customer’s death.

Security for Your FutureIf you’ve been left a significant inheritance, you face further deci-

the money to pay debts, or buy something they might not other-wise be able to afford.

Keep in mind, though, that your loved one probably intended to provide security for your future as well. After your loss, other fam-ily members may be even more dependent on you. You may decide to use your inheritance to provide security for them, just as it was provided for you.

Life insurance can play an important role. A single premium policy can guarantee* your heirs a financial legacy that’s generally free from federal income tax. Life insurance can also offer living ben-efits, like the option of borrowing against a policy’s value.**

Life can change swiftly and unpredictably, so it’s always wise to have your affairs in order. The best time to make arrangements for to-morrow is today.

Troop 43 Boy Scout Chris Campbell will hold a car wash to raise funds toward his Eagle Scout project on Sun-day, May 23 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Hatch Building in Pembroke Center (across from First Church). Cost is $5 per car or $8 for vans and SUVs. For his project, Chris is work-ing to put up recycling bins at the soccer fields.

car wash to aid eagle project



Committee member Patrick Chilcott, who represented the board along with Suzanne Scroggins on the screening committee. “They both had a great foundation as a business manager and extensive experi-ence with the business opera-tions of a school district. They showed a capacity for more than just budgeting but also reporting and forecasting and understanding the need to be strategic.”

Steven Lamarche, who as director of operations and ac-countability is Pembroke’s current school business man-ager, will be leaving June 30 to take the superintendent’s job in Bourne.

School Committee member Mike Tropeano said though the candidates came from districts that varied greatly in size, they talked about the same issues when it came to developing a school budget.

“I think it’s going to de-pend on what each of us look at as what we need in the dis-trict, where we are in our life right now, and where Steve [Lamarche] has brought us in the past year,” Tropeano said. “We’re a lot more data-driven as a district now rather than just getting stacks of reports. So what’s going to start us there and then take us beyond to get to more of the relevant data.”

Sullivan-Obey began her career as part of an early child-hood education program in Boston, returning to school for her MBA and securing a job in the district’s accounting of-fice.

Five years ago she was hired to work in the budget of-fice, where she reports directly to the district’s chief financial officer, who then reports to the superintendent.

“I’ve been fortunate to have eight great years of learn-ing in Boston, and it’s time to bring that to another school district that could benefit from it,” she said.

Sullivan-Obey said she was interested in delving more into curriculum development as it relates to the budget and that she would encourage Pembroke to keep the finan-cial discussion open through-out the year, not just at budget time. She also has experience working one-on-one with school staff.

“With 135 schools [in Boston], there are 135 differ-ent stories. I think I do a good job of managing that type of interaction; I feel like I have a personal relationship with ev-ery single one of my principals and every single one of my de-partment heads,” she said.

As for why she wants to work in Pembroke, Sullivan-

Obey said it just seemed a good fit.

“I feel like I am at a point in my life where Pembroke is as a school district — up and coming — and that I have a lot to give and a lot to learn,” she said.

DeGannaro has spent 10 years as a school business manager, five in Acushnet and five with Cohasset Public Schools.

“Working in smaller dis-tricts, you really get to know the districts and how things operate. It gives you a good base,” he said. “I know Pem-broke is larger, and that’s really the challenge of it all — having a larger school district. This is the next logical step for me.”

DeGannaro said he has had his eye on Pembroke for a while.

“I think Pembroke is like a new beginning; you’re starting from scratch, from the ground floor, and that’s something I’d like to be part of,” he said. “It’s almost like growing a busi-ness from scratch; you want to make it better each year as you go.”

DeGannaro said he makes monthly financial reports to his School Committee and has worked closely with the com-munity on the budget.

“The budget is always a challenge. I think a lot of it is educating the public of what your needs are … where that money’s going and what you accomplish with those funds,” he said.

School Committee chair-

man Paul Bosworth said the board would be making its decision over the next two weeks.

Beginning in the latter half of the last century, local residents of many towns throughout America, and es-pecially in New England, had the foresight to begin

to preserve records and mementos of the past. You can visit these halls of memories (usually by appointment, although many have regular hours), and the experience is a fun and fascinating look at the way we were.

I am speaking about local historical societies and, while over the years they seem to have earned a reputation for being stuffy and dull, they are usually merely dusty and full of wonderful surprises — a collective grandma’s attic of amazing glimpses into the past.

The Pembroke Historical Society Museum, 116 Center St., was originally built in 1847 and served as the Bryantville School. It was built on School Street and housed all eight grades in one

room. In 1911, a newer two-room school was built and the building was sold to Pearly Reed for $250. It was moved to Center Street where the building

was used by Mr. Reed and, later, Marcus Urann in the cranberry business. It was Mr. Urann’s friendship with George Edward Lewis, one of the founders of the Historical Society, that led him to eventually donate the building to the Society.

The Pembroke Historical Society was organized in 1950. Records of the first meeting indicate that it was thought that once the new society was formed residents of Pembroke would make donations of historical data, furniture, etc. so that a regular “his-toric room” could be maintained. By the third meeting of the So-ciety, held in June 1950, there were more than 100 charter mem-bers. The first honorary membership was bestowed upon Harry W. Litchfield, author of “Ancient Landmarks of Pembroke,” a book that is still available today from the Historical Society.

In 1968, the former Cedar Swamp School on West Elm Street was moved to its present location, as a meeting hall attached to the rear of the museum to help with the expanding needs of the Society.

The residents of our town, both past and present, have been generous with their memories, time and talents. In 1988, the mu-seum building was dedicated to the memory of the late Bonney Sherman, curator of the Historical Society for 20 years.

Each spring, Society members, volunteers and parents host the annual Old Pembroke Days Children’s Program for the town’s third grade students. For three days, the Society’s buildings ring with the footsteps of busy children learning about life in Colo-nial Pembroke. The Society also runs the Grand Old-Fashioned Fish Fry each year. Other events, such as speaker programs and a yard sale, are scheduled for various times throughout the year.

This year, the Society is celebrating its 60th anniversary. The Society is always eager to welcome new members. For more in-formation, call 781-293-9083 or e-mail [email protected].

Dry Cleaning and Alterations


I remember an argument the late David Brudnoy, a well-known and respected WBZ

Boston talk radio host, made in sup-port of profiling. The profiling at the time was for a terrorist. He analogized profiling with the story of a midget who robbed a local gas station. The police radio dispatch confirmed the perpetrator to be a midget. The po-lice observed a midget a few miles away and arrested him. Brudnoy’s conclusion: If the police had not used profiling, they would not have made an arrest. The problem with Brudnoy’s analogy is the profiling associated a midget with a particular crime. A midget was identified as the perpetra-tor, so, any midget would have been suspect. It was not a situation where the police assumed all midgets are armed robbers, therefore they are suspects in all armed robberies, giving them authority to stop, search and interrogate all midgets for all armed robberies.

The Arizona Law, Bill 1070, mandates that illegal immigration, heretofore adjudicated in immigration court, now will be adjudicated in criminal court. So, by making undocumented immigration a criminal offense, it requires law enforcement to take action when there is “prob-able cause” of undocumented (illegal) immigra-tion. Under criminal law, “probable cause” is the standard by which police officers with reasonable suspicion have the authority to conduct a per-sonal or property search, and to make an arrest. The Bill 1070 problem: it’s not about Greeks, Italians, Poles or New Zealanders — it’s about Hispanics! It’s not about illegal immigration, per se, it’s about dark-haired, brown-skinned, Spanish-speaking people who easily can be profiled, and thereby a police officer has suf-ficient “probable cause” to detain, interrogate and conduct a search.

Elena Letona, the associate director of the Massachusetts chapter of the National Alliance of Latin American & Caribbean Communities, put it succinctly when she told a crowd of dem-onstrators on Boston Common: “It means not looking white. It means not sounding white. It means those who do not conform to a cer-tain idea of what Americans should look like.’’ Arizona’s problem with illegal immigration and its associated human trafficking and drug

smuggling is understandably acute. However, Arizona does not need to change the law when there are laws in place that allow police of-ficers to make arrests for human trafficking and drug smuggling. Evidently, what Arizona does not understand is that there are civil liberty laws and a U.S. Constitu-tion that defends those liberties. In the Deep South of the early 1960s, when I was traveling as a road musician, it was common to

see black Americans detained alongside streets, roads or highways, some spread eagle with po-lice officers standing over them. It was so com-mon that it prompted the question to my fellow musicians who traveled these states for a long time — why? The answer was: they were be-ing harassed and detained because they were black, not because they committed a crime. At the time, not many northerners condemned that outrageous police behavior, and many even supported it.

The Boston Globe recently reported, “The Boston City Council approved a resolution that urges the city to curtail economic ties with Arizo-na by pulling investments, ending city contracts and halting purchasing agreements to protest the state’s recently passed immigration law.” I support that resolution. I would like to see other municipalities, the state of Massachusetts and other states follow suit. My fear is, like my experience in the Deep South, Arizona will be detaining, interrogating and searching Hispan-ics along her streets, roads and highways, with-out “probable cause,” for no other reason than their race or ethnicity, and that this may be ad-opted by other states, as well.

What television show do you tune in to every week?

Marissa Gallagher Keens Way

“I watch ‘Wizards of Waverly Place’ because it is funny.”

Devin Barbati Pleasant Street

“I never miss ‘Jeopardy’ at 7:30 on Channel 4 CBS! It is amazing

and stimulates the brain.”

Jen Romero Blake Avenue

“I watch ‘Survivor’ with my mom because it is a special season

where they take past contestants back. It’s exciting.”

Beth Cunningham Pilgrim Road

“I always tune in to ‘Dancing with the Stars’ because it is very

entertaining.

Perspectives

Arizona bill wrongly bases ‘probable cause’ on race, ethnicity

I do not believe the three selectmen who voted to reinstate health in-

surance coverage for select-men, assessors and moderator served the best interests of the people who elected them. These are, after all, elected positions. They are not meant to support anyone who needs full time employment and ben-efits.

In these times when peo-ple are struggling to pay their mortgages and record numbers are visiting the food bank, this move is absolutely ludicrous. In today’s economy, a potential of $90,000 added to the tax base when we are cutting so many services is unacceptable. There is no way to justify $10,000 of extra expense for a position that pays $1,800. You try to justify it by saying you will not take

advantage of it. This does not excuse it. No board should be able to vote itself extra perks at the expense of the taxpayers. I urge you to take this up again and vote in the best interest of the taxpayers.

I don’t know how many part-time people we have re-ceiving benefits. Perhaps this is something that needs to be addressed as well. Look into the private sector — there are definite regulations for hours worked per week for cover-age, usually 20 hours mini-mum. Most companies require part-time employees to pay a greater percentage of premi-um, usually at least 50 percent. It would be to the town’s ben-efit to consider this in the next round of contract talks.

A taxpayer’s side to board benefits discussion ——

It really tickles me when I read or hear lib-eral Democrats whine

about being labeled socialists. I don’t recall much about the article written by the Tea Party guy, but it sure got ole Betty’s bloomers in a bunch [Letter to the Editor, May 7].

It always strikes me funny how Dems get all upset when they are called socialists; the truth must hurt, I guess. I find

no need to respond to her sil-ly diatribe because it’s been my experience that once you fire facts at lefties they be-come overwhelmed. Anyway, thanks for the laughs and the reminder that maybe looking more into the Tea Party might be a good idea.

Doncha just love it when a leftie whines? Youbetcha I do.

Thanks for the laughs —

A memorial fund recently was set up in memory of Kathleen “Kathy” Smith, who died in October. Kathy was a fun-loving, outgoing person who had

a passion for volunteer work. She volunteered in town with the Council on Aging and at the Lydia Drake Library and also spent many years volunteering at Saint Thecla’s Parish. Her years and countless hours of volunteering in the church’s CCD program was a testimony to her selflessness and love of children. For those who knew Kathy and would like to make a donation in her memory, the Kathleen A. Smith Memorial Fund has been set up at Bridgewater Savings Bank, 115 Cen-ter Street, Pembroke, MA 02359. The purpose of this fund will be to benefit the children at Saint Thecla’s Parish. For more information, call Patrice Dupuis at 781-829-0005.

Author Michael Tougias will appear at the Pembroke Public Library on Monday, May 24 at 7 p.m. to give a slide presentation on his new book “Overboard! A True Bluewater Odyssey of Disaster and Survival.” The program is sponsored by the Friends of the Pembroke Public Library and is free and open to the public; it is suit-able for all ages.

This book tells the true story of Captain Tom Tighe and first mate Loch Reidy of the sailboat Almeisan, who welcome three new crew members for a five-day voy-age from Connecticut to Ber-muda. Four days into their voyage, a massive storm strikes and Tighe and Reidy are swept from the boat dur-ing a knockdown and are carried away by huge seas.

“Overboard” follows the si-multaneous desperate strug-gles of both the crew on the boat and the captain and first mate in the sea.

Tougias is the author and co-author of 19 books in-cluding “The Finest Hours: The True Story of the Coast Guard’s Most Daring Res-cue” and “Fatal Forecast: An Incredible True Tale of Di-saster and Survival at Sea.”

By Dave Palana, SPortS eDitor [email protected]

Nick Indelicato didn’t feel like much of a hero when he sent a high, routine-looking pop-up between the shortstop and pitcher with two outs in the seventh inning on Tues-day. He grimaced in disap-pointment, slammed his bat, but ran it out anyway.

Middleboro’s shortstop dropped the ball, Indelicato made it to first base and Brian Harrison came in from third with the winning run to cap a two-run final inning and a 4-3 Titan win that saved their sea-son for another day.

Pembroke got the tying and winning runs in the sev-enth without the benefit of a single hit. Matt McCartney reached on an error and scored the tying run on a wild pitch.

Evan Morris took advantage of another error to beat out an infield grounder with a head-first slide. Harrison came on to pinch run, went to second on the wild pitch that scored McCartney and then to third on a ground out by Matt Ne-gus before coming home on Indelicato’s pop-up.

“We’ll take it,” head coach Bob Flynn said. “We never quit; [Nick] even ran it out, and you have to commend him for that because usually you don’t run that out and they pick it up and throw you out at first. We made them make plays and they didn’t make them. That’s what it comes down to.”

The Titans never led in the game after falling behind 1-0 early. They came back in the fourth inning to tie the game at one when Kevin Plant dou-bled home Derek Staples, but they fell behind again in the top of the fifth when the Sa-chems got to McCartney for two more runs.

Indelicato brought the Ti-tans back within one with an RBI double in the sixth that scored Staples and set them up for their seventh-inning comeback, putting the team one step closer to the MIAA tournament. With the win and the Sachems’ loss, the Titans moved into a tie for second place in the Fisher Division, which would give them a tournament spot regardless of their final record. But that is not a lock yet as they play

Randolph next week and the Sachems still have a game with Quincy. Flynn said the focus of the team is still to get back to .500 and make the tournament regardless of standings.

“We’re at 11 losses, and the next loss puts us out of the tournament,” he said. “Now it looks like we can get a share of second place, but if we run the table, we’re in anyway. They are certainly capable of doing it.”

Pembroke found them-selves in a similar predica-ment last year when a slow start necessitated a strong finish to qualify for the tour-nament, and Flynn said that late-season drive has the team confident they can do it again this year.

“We’re certainly still looking for it,” he said. “They believe in each other and they have all year. They’re a great group of kids and they play hard. That’s all I can ask.”

A visit with boys tennis captain Graham Edwards

SENIOR MOMENTS

baseballPembroke 4Middleboro 3

After helping lead the basketball team into the MIAA tournament this winter, Edwards is hoping to do the same thing on a different court this year as the

loan captain of the boys tennis team. He shared his thoughts on …

… choosing a college. I’m going to the College of Charles-ton in South Carolina. I want to get out of New England, live in the warmth, surf and try something new.

… his ideas for a major. I’m going undeclared, but I’m thinking about business and political science. My father runs a business, and I work for him. I also just want to be varied.

… what he enjoys about basketball. Basket-ball is probably my favorite sport. I like the feel in the gym. I like the contact and the team sport feel to it.

… picking up tennis in high school. I only started my sophomore year. I loved the kids that were playing it and Coach Rix is an awesome guy. He makes it really fun.

… learning to surf. I actually just learned at surf camp last summer in California. It was my younger sister’s idea, but I really want to get into it.

… his favorite memory as a Titan. For basketball, it would be the Plymouth South game this year. It was to get into the tournament and we won it right at the end.

… his plans for the summer. I think I might be doing some landscaping, and I might be going to a jazz festival in Finland. My parents just threw it out there, and it’s a free trip. It should be cool.

… leaving New England. I just want to wrap things up with all my family and friends and leave here on a good note.

less of a shocker given the Titans’ depth in the distance. Paul Cina, Brendan Adams, Ryan Kelley and Wesley Gal-lagher took home an easy first, finishing more than 20 sec-onds ahead of second-place Burlington.

While it was a blowout win for Pembroke, neither Rooney nor the runners were happy with their time of 18

minutes 40.16 seconds. “It was a pretty easy win,

but if you talked to those guys they would tell you they could have run faster,” Rooney said. “They should have been up around the class record. They are the leaders of our team, and they need to step it up a little more.”

Gallagher, Cina and Adams picked up some more points for the Titans, teaming with soph-omore Joe Vercollone to finish third in the distance medley with a time of 11:01.25. Horn also earned points for the Ti-tans with he, Pat Sepeck and Matt Butler taking sixth in the long jump.

Rooney was glad to see Butler compete well at the state level and Sepeck qualify for the state meet with his 20’8” jump after battling a hamstring prob-

lem for most of the spring.“He came into his own

in this meet,” Rooney said of Sepeck. “He jumped his best by about a foot to qualify. He showed he is back from the in-jury, and he’s starting to be the leader we need again.”

The four top-six finishes earned the Titans 30 points to finish two points behind Digh-ton-Rehoboth and take sixth place. The team will skip the South Shore Principals’ Meet this Saturday and instead will head to Notre Dame Acad-emy for the Last Chance Meet, where Rooney hopes some more Titans will get into the state meet.

“We have a few guys who are right on the verge,” he said. “And we have some other guys who need to improve their seed times.”

Strong to the finishGirls lacrosse hoping to end season on high note


There is no shot at a third straight trip to the MIAA tour-nament this year for the girls lacrosse team, but head coach George Stagno said his team still has something to prove.

The Titans crushed Coyle Cassidy 15-6 at the high school on Monday and then came from behind to notch an 8-7 win over North Quincy on Tuesday for the first back-to-back wins of the season.

Pembroke found them-selves down 4-1 in the first half despite out-shooting the Red Raiders, but they rallied to tie the game at five head-ing into the break. Their shots started to find the cage in the second half, and captain Cara Cahill won it for the Titans with her third goal of the game with two minutes to go.

“It was a close game, but it was a good win for us,” Stagno said. “The girls were a little out of place on defense [in the first half], but we came around and held them at the end.”

Fellow captain Jenna Bost-wick netted two for the Titans with Krystal Barnard, Caro-line Bettle and Alex Davis each scoring a goal apiece.

The Titans had both their offense and defense going

strong from the first draw Monday against Coyle Cassi-dy. Cahill, Bostwick, Davis and Barnard all scored twice before the Warriors could even manage a shot on goal and closed the first half with a commanding 11-3 lead they held for the rest of the game.

The two wins bring the Titans to 5-10 on the season with three games left on the schedule and giving them the chance to avenge their losses to Martha’s Vineyard and Whitman-Hanson as well as sweep the season series with archrival Silver Lake.

“I’m hoping we can beat Whitman-Hanson, because we sure did come close last time,” Stagno said. “There is no way for us to make the tournament, so we’re playing for pride now.”

The girls track team may not be as deep as they have been in years past, but they put the rest of Division III on notice that they are still loaded with talent.

Berkeley Hall, Becky Stoyle and Teresa Fatemi broke the Division III record in the triple jump relay and then shattered the state record in the long jump to lead Pem-broke to fourth place overall at the Division III State Re-lays in Milton on Saturday.

Hall and Stoyle finished in first and second place, and Stoyle set a personal record with her leap of 37 feet 8.75 inches. Fatemi finished 17th with 31’ 8.50”.

All three Titans set new personal outdoor records in the long jump led by Hall’s second place leap of 18’10.5”. Stoyle finished right behind her in third place with an 18’

7.25” jump and Fatemi fin-ished 12th jumping 16’ 5.25”.

Their combined 53’ 11” shattered the previous state re-cord by nearly one foot.

“They jumped awesome,” head coach Greg Zopatti said. “They really react well to each other in a relay type situ-ation where they are not go-ing against each other. That was great for both of those teams.”

Stoyle and Fatemi earned another first place on the track running the 200-meter legs of the sprint medley. Michaela Ng started the team off with a strong leg and Mary Scanlan blew past everyone to anchor the win.

“She is letting everybody know she is the one to beat in the 800 at Eastern Mass.,” Zopatti said of Scanlan. “[Mi-chaela Ng] really come into her own, and Teresa is starting to get going, which is huge for us.”

Hall also picked up points on the track, with her sister Meagan, Brianna Larkin and Sara Short taking sixth place in the shuttle hurdles. Ng and Scanlan teamed up with Chel-sea Savage and Vanessa Pham to take fourth place in the 4x400. Pham and Savage also got another fourth place with Sarah Cavalear and Heather Connick.

Horn finished third, Chap-man 10th and Chahine 14th to upset Bishop Stang for the second of two wins on the day for Pembroke at Milton High School. Horn topped out at 42 feet 7 inches with Chapman jumping 39’ 9.75 and Chahine getting himself a personal best with a 39’ .5” leap.

“That came out of no-where,” head coach Jim Rooney said. “I don’t think we were expected to place, and then all of a sudden Matt had a huge personal best. Hats off to him.”
