I f you’ve tried to get something donein Pembroke over the last ve years— whether it was building a base-

ball eld or a new park, starting a team oropening a business — chances are, you’vemet Greg Hanley.

The former Quincy city councilmanhasn’t been in Pembroke long, but he hasbeen busy, with roles on the Recreation Com -mission, Zoning Board of Appealsand Wage and Personnel Board. Healso is involved in a number of proj -ects, starting with the MattakeesettStreet baseball complex, where heencouraged project leaders to pushfor their eld of dreams.

“He’s very good for the town,”said Steve Nagle, who worked withHanley on the Mattakeesett Streetproject. “A lot of people don’t knowthat because he doesn’t need to be inthe forefront.”

Though his work is often behindthe scenes, Hanley was a part of sev -eral big projects in 2009.

In March, he helped organize aSt. Patrick’s Day fundraiser at the

Pembroke Knights of Colum -bus, where he is a member, tosupport the council’s secondannual special needs prom.

Between its vibrant cos -tumes, exotic setting anddiverse musical numbers in -volving students from agesnine to 18 — not to mentionthe title coat — one thing iscertain about next weekend’sPembroke High School pro -duction of “Joseph and theAmazing Technicolor Dream -coat”: It will be colorful.

“It’s de nitely a goodtime, very entertaining, veryfast-paced, and the kids aredoing an amazing job withit,” director Marcie Heroldsaid of the show, her fth atPembroke High School. “It’svery visual. There’s always

something to look at and tolisten to, and the show justcooks along really fast.”

The musical will be onstage at the high school audi -torium Friday, Feb. 5 and Sat -

urday, Feb. 6 at 7 p.m., and onSunday, Feb. 7 at 2 p.m.Written by Andrew Lloyd

Weber and Tim Rice andbased on the Old TestamentBible story about Joseph and

his “coat of many colors,”


Much like the wine theyare hoping to make and sell aspart of the celebration, Pem -

broke’s 300th AnniversaryCommittee is gettingbetter with age.

On Tuesdaynight — almost ayear after a groupof interested resi-dents rst gatheredat the PembrokePublic Library to starttalking about the big bashin 2012 — the upstairs meet -ing room at Town Hall waspacked with people for thecommittee’s monthly meeting.Among the rst items of busi -ness: Choosing a logo.

With many heads camemany ideas, and the discus -sion over which logo should

represent Pembroke on signs,stationary, pins, plates andcommemorative coins lastedclose to an hour. In the end, thewinning design was one of six

submitted by Pembroke-based Silver LakePress.

The circularlogo resembles thetown seal with itsroped border and

image of a ship —a nod to the years of

shipbuilding that oc -curred on the North River

in town. The words “Town of Pembroke” and years “1712-2012” are featured in white let -tering on a black border, with“300 Years” in gold across thelower center of the logo.

After starting witha BANG in 2008,Mark Petrie, Ste -

ven Tomasi and the rest of their business networkinggroup decided to change theirname, but not their purpose. The South Shore Business Al -liance, formerly the BusinessAssociates Networking Group,still meets twice a month, withrepresentatives from a varietyof elds, to share informationabout their businesses. Pet-rie, a senior loan of cer withRockland Trust, and Tomasi,owner of A.J. Tomasi Nurs -

eries Inc., sat down with theExpress recently to talk aboutwhat’s new with the group.

Why did you changeyour name? Mark Petrie: We

just felt that South Shore Busi -ness Alliance sounded moreprofessional. We started withabout eight, and we’ve grownto about 25 members. We meetevery rst and third Thursdayof the month.

How does the group dif-fer from other groups? Ste-ven Tomasi: It’s more in thetrenches as opposed to a groupthat’s maybe looking out for theneeds of its members. We’relooking out for the needs of our customers and how we canserve them better. Obviously,the economy has forced us allto be better business people.It may sound trite, but I say itall the time: The most impor -tant person in my companyis my customer. And the verynext person that walks in is mymost important customer.

Petrie: Regardless of whatbusiness we have, we’re all inthe lead generation business,and if you can get a warm

lead as opposed to a cold call,you’ve got a better chance of closing that warm lead.

How is the group orga-nized and how do you gainmembers? Petrie: It’s de -nitely word of mouth. We wantquality growth as opposed to

just we’ll take anybody to lla seat. It’s one facet of busi -

ness for each seat, so there’sonly one mortgage broker, onelandscape architect, one attor -ney, one real estate agent, etc.

Tomasi: The reason I’mgoing to recommend a mem -ber to a customer that I havewho is looking for an electri -cian or a carpenter or a mort -gage broker is because I knowthat person. I can very con -

dently say that person willserve your needs, because if

I recommend somebody thatfalls short of expectations, thatlooks bad on me.

How does the economicslump impact the way youdo business? Petrie: I thinkit’s de nitely gotten peoplewho might not have donebusiness this way ve yearsago because they had plentyof it; they’re now looking foralternative sources. It’s just allnetworking, and if someonecan further their business fromanother contact, that’s great.We’re just trying to open moredoors to our members.

Tomasi: It’s the same rea-son the last restaurant youwent to, probably the reasonyou went there was because afriend of yours said, ‘You’vegot to try this place.’ And af -ter you went there and experi -enced good service and goodfood, then you’re going to tella friend of yours. That’s re-

ally the concept. It’s word of mouth.

What happens at yourmeetings? Petrie: Each personhas about a minute to introducethemselves, then it’s open. Wetalk amongst ourselves. We’retrying to construct a Web sitewhere everyone can have alink. We’re trying to do busi-ness cards.

Tomasi: The majority of our customers are homeown -

ers. That’s what we’re lookingfor. In my particular business,I’m one of the largest invest-ments a homeowner will makein their life. That’s a big step,so you want to make sure thatthe company you’re dealingwith has a good reputation.

Are you looking to growyour group? Petrie: We’realways open — the more themerrier. They say the aver-age person knows 200 people;that’s their ‘sphere of in u -ence.’ So if you have 10 peo -ple in the group, your sphereof in uence is 2,000 custom -ers. If you have 20 people inthe group, it’s 4,000.

What is your goal forthe group? Petrie: We wantto continue to grow but con -tinue to grow with quality.We’re looking for someonewho would t the group anddo good service for our cus -tomers.

W e’ve had a long, cold, snowy winter, but we havean outlet: “hard-water shing.” Time to get off the couch and stop dreaming about the hot sum -

mer days and the big sh you caught.Local Pond Reports: Oldham Pond has plenty of ice — at

least six inches — and as long as theweather stays cold, ice shing willbe great! Places like Oldham, StetsonPond, Indian Head and MonponsettTwin Ponds are all shallow pondsand should have plenty of ice. LittlePond in Morton’s Park has ice, along

with Peter’s Pond in Sandwich. LittlePond and Peter’s Pond hold troutand salmon along with some pan sh. Long Pond in Plymouthmight not be safe as it’s a very deep pond — more than 100feet in places.

Oldham Pond is giving up good numbers of pan sh, crap -pies, pickerel, bass and perch. Best baits are shiners shed abouta foot off the bottom.Along with worms,power bait or salmoneggs are also goodbaits. If you can’twait for the ags togo up, try jigging.Many metal spoonswork well, such as

Swedish Pimple orRapalas. OldhamPond is also good forsome nice bass.

Over the seasonthere is plenty of baitfor these pan sh tofatten up on. Get off the couch; take thekids and the dog.You will have a greatday on the ice. Thisis a good way tospend some familytime together. Thekids will have a ball

chasing ags fromthe tip-ups or iceskating. Bring lots of hot drinks and plentyof food, because you’ll probably spend the whole day on theice. Don’t forget — adults need a fresh water shing license,which you can get at the local bait shops or online at sport.state.ma-us/. You can have up to ve tip-ups, but remember —if you’re jigging, you must remove one tip-up.

Ice shing is a lot of fun, but be sure to play it safe. Watchfor other shermen to determine whether the ice is thickenough.

M y daughter and son-in-law hadto attend a business event ona Saturday evening not long

ago. My daughter asked if I would watchthe children, as the event they were at -tending was in Natick. I decided itwould be a great time to have a sleep-over for the three grandchildren. Johnand I took them out for dinner and af-terward went to Target because one of them needed some poster board for aproject. They all selected a dollar itemas a treat and we bought some whippedcream for the homemade brownies I had waiting at home. Wechose a movie from On Demand. I allowed the three of themto watch it even though it lasted an hour and a half after theirbedtime. The next morning, they were up by 6 a.m. We had aleisurely breakfast before their parents came for them. It was agreat overnight adventure for all involved. I plan to do it moreoften. And now let’s see what’s going on around town.

Small businesses are the engine of the economy, and when the economy sput-ters they often feel it rst. In the current climate of uncertainty, many smallbusinesses have cut expenses to the bone and tried to make their operations

as lean and efcient as possible.

But even if a small business owner can’t controlthe marketplace, he or she can take steps toprotect their key assets: the people the businessrelies upon.

Details Matter To CustomersA recession tests customer loyalty, as people cutback on spending and carefully weigh their op-tions for even necessary purchases. For business-es that are strapped themselves, it may be easy to let attention to the details of customer serviceslip. But this is the time that details matter most,whether it’s taking the trouble to send a holiday note to your mailing list or offering special dealsto prize patrons. The key to their loyalty is to let

them know they matter to you.

Appreciate Your EmployeesOf course, you want your employees to know they’re important, too. Youneed their knowledge and experience to navigate the uncertain times. Therecession might mean sacrices for everyone, but it is also a time to make surevalued workers know how much they are appreciated. Even small gestures,like movie tickets or a night at a local restaurant, can keep morale steady.

Supplement Benets, Not Costs

You may want to consider “beeng up” your employee benets package. A“Voluntary Payroll Deduction” (VPD) program is one of the most popularways employees can purchase additional, personally-owned life insurance. AVPD program can usually be set up using your existing procedures for payrolldeduction. A life insurance agent would then meet individually with each em-ployee to explain the benets of life insurance and the ease with which it canbe purchased. All products purchased through VPD are employee-owned andpaid for, with no direct out-of-pocket cost to you except the cost of admin-istration. The VPD offerings can be a smart way to supplement your overallbenets package, without draining your budget.

Note: Employee participation in a payroll deduction insurance program iscompletely voluntary. Since this program is not intended to be subject to theEmployee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA), employers can-not contribute to, or endorse, this program.

Protect Yourself As the owner of a business, you are the most important piece of the puzzle.And especially during difcult times, it is important to think about how thebusiness would function without you. One thing that can provide a greatersense of security is a comprehensive life insurance policy. It can be tailoredto t your needs and ensure that those who rely on you every day would beprovided for.

So when you think about protecting your assets in this economy, consider your human assets rst.

Cameron Anderson,10, a fourth grader atBryantville ElementarySchool, warmed uprecently with a tripto Key West, Fla.,where he visited thesouthernmost point ofthe continental UnitedStates.





long Pembroke resident, saidthe Silver Lake Press teamgot together and brainstormedideas for logo submissions.

“We tried to incorporatesome things that stand out inthe town like the shipbuildingand the clock,” he said.

Hennigan said the winningdesign would be easy to repro -duce on T-shirts, pewter platesand other memorabilia thatcommittee members have con -sidered making and selling.

Of the big year itself, Hen -nigan said he is most excitedabout the reworks displaytentatively set for March 2012and the costume ball sched -uled that June.

“There will be differ-ent events every month, so it

should bring the town togeth-er,” he said. “It’ll be prettycool.”

Committee chairman BillBoulter and secretary JanetFahey both said they werepleased with the supportthey’ve received so far fromresidents, businesses and evenout-of-towners.

On Tuesday, Norton resi -dents Ralph Stefanelli and AlexRich Jr. dropped by to com -mend Pembroke on its effortsso far, saying the Norton 300thcommittee had been followingin Pembroke’s footsteps whilegetting ready for their towncelebration in 2011.

Stefanelli said Pembrokecould be a “sister city” to Nor -ton and that the two townscould learn from each other.

“We’d like to work withyou,” he said.

Along with the logo, proj -ects discussed Tuesday includ -ed turning elementary schoolstudent artwork into pins; hold -ing events such as an antiquecar show, carnival and oldhome tour; planting 300 treesacross Pembroke; developing

a commemorative brick walkfeaturing the names of localresidents; and creating a Pem -broke-label wine incorporatinglocally grown cranberries.

Various committees havebeen set up to work on each of

these projects and more, andvolunteers are still needed toassist. The committee meetsevery third Tuesday of themonth at 7 p.m., usually atPembroke Country Club.

“I’m really glad that westarted three years ahead of time, because there really is alot to do,” Boulter said after themeeting. “It’s nice to do it thisfar ahead because we can haveall our eggs in the basket whenthe time comes, and thingsshould go really smooth.”

Judi McAuliffe has lived inPembroke for about 45 yearsand is working to include stu -dents in the 300th anniversaryprojects.

“For the 275th, we hadmaybe six pins and differ -ent kids designed each one of them with something that theyhad learned about Pembroke,so I’m hoping to do the sameidea again,” she said. “ThePembroke [Colonial] Days

have been wonderful for thekids, and this will just bringit forward a little bit more forthem — give them more of anopportunity to understand thetown and be a part of it.”

Local cable personality

Kyle Harney is developing anew show called “PembrokeAt 300,” in which charactersfrom Pembroke history will beinterviewed about their lives.He is hoping to tape a dozenepisodes to run throughout theyear.

With 300th anniversarytalk having started close toa year ago, Tuesday’s meet -ing and choosing of the logoseemed to stir up a feeling that“something’s really starting tohappen,” Harney said.

“There’s like a little crack -le in the room,” he said. “It’sreally exciting.”

Han y h n d n 2009can Legion baseball to Pem -broke saw further success thissummer when Post 143 spon -sored both a senior and juniorteam, allowing more youth to

participate.In August, Hanley was atthe helm of the Zoning Boardwhen Adam and Colette Wor -rall brought their request fora special per -mit to open abody art studioon MattakeesettStreet. The con -troversial pro -posal drew manyneighbors’ con -cerns. Hanley andhis fellow boardmembers al-lowed them to beheard, handlingthe situation withpatience, fairness and aclear purpose: to do whatwas best for Pembroke. Inthe end, the board votedunanimously to allow thepermit, based, they said, on thesolid reputation of the Worrallfamily.

Shortly after, Hanleychaired another controversialZBA hearing, when T-Mobilepresented a plan to install awireless tower on West ElmStreet. Again, neighbors

turned out; again, their voiceswere heard. This time, the ap -plication was rejected. But allthree board members carefullyhandled what was an emo-tional issue, allowing not onlyresidents to speak their mindsbut T-Mobile representativesas well.

This fall, Hanley and agroup of local businessmenspearheaded a plan to bringlights to the Pembroke HighSchool turf eld — a $350,000project that is expected tocome in at less than half thatprice thanks to donations andvolunteer labor.

In December, Hanleygave up his seat on the Zon -ing Board to take one on theHousing Authority, with hopesthat he could contribute some -thing to the affordable housingprogram in Pembroke, havinggrown up in “the projects” inQuincy.

“It’s important to him thatpeople who are down on theirluck or have had somethingtragic happen in their life havethe opportunity to have that[affordable housing] as a tran -

sition — that it stays availablefor people in need,” AnnMarieHanley said.

The Hanleys moved toPembroke almost six yearsago, choosing to raise theirfour children — John, Kerri-Ann, Erin and Margaret —in town because of the newschool system and proxim -ity to AnnMarie’s family andGreg’s work.

It didn’t take long for Han-ley to get involved.

“He’s very caring and

thoughtful. Someone wouldsay that they needed help withsomething, and that’s howhe would get involved, or hewould nd out that someonewas in need and he wouldwant to nd out how to helpthat person,” AnnMarie Han -ley said. “Sitting back and justwaiting for someone else to do

something isn’t his nature.”Nagle was president of

Pembroke Youth Baseball andtrying to get town approval tobuild Little League elds onMattakeesett Street when he

rst met Hanley, a member of the Recreation Commission.

“I was going to the meet-ings and kind of banging myhead against a wall [trying toget the project approved],” hesaid.

The day before Nagle wasdue to appear before the Con -servation Commission to getapproval for two Little Leaguediamonds, Hanley suggestedthey try for a third — a large,high school size eld.

“I said, ‘Greg, I’ve beentrying to get this done for twoyears and now you’re throw-ing a monkey wrench in it;they aren’t going to go for it,’”Nagle recalled.

But eventually, the projectgot approval.

“It was Greg that pushedfor that big diamond — that’sthe reason it’s down there,”Nagle said. “Now it’s one of the best around; that whole

complex is great.”Nagle and his company,

Mass Bay Electric, have beenrecruited to help install stadi -um lighting at the high schoolfootball eld, another of Han -ley’s projects.

“He’s got a knack of beingable to deal with all the politi -cians and kind of say the rightthings to the people that needto be quelled or quieted downand assured that it’s going toget done correctly,” Naglesaid. “I think a lot of towns

don’t have that type of personwho is willing, not to take allthe glory, but to get it done forthe kids.”

Pembroke Youth Base -ball’s current president PaulMahoney also “butted heads”with Hanley over his push forthe third eld at Mattakeesett,but he has to admit: it worked.

“Greg has an idea and he’snot afraid to push it forward.He’s not afraid that it mightruf e a few people’s feathers,”Mahoney said. “If he sees wedon’t have something he’llsay, ‘Let’s go get it.’ … Oneway or another he’s going to

nd a way to do it.”The desire to get things

done is what led Hanley torun for state representative in2006.

“There was so much to bedone and you could only go sofar to get it done before you hityour state representative, andGreg felt that person was notaccessible to the residents,”AnnMarie Hanley said. “Hegot frustrated … so he ran tobe that accessible person.”

Though Hanley lost theelection to incumbent DanielWebster, he continued to workin local politics, particularlyon the Recreation Commis -sion, drawing from his ex -perience as a Quincy coun -cilman — where he and hiswife helped build a number of parks.

“He’s very focused whenhe takes on a project. He won’tstart it and drop the ball,” saidSue Roche, acting recreationdirector. “He keeps us abreastof what’s going on at TownHall, which is a big asset.”

He and fellow RecreationCommission member TomDrummand helped launch anindoor baseball clinic at thecommunity center this winter,Roche said.

“I really believe he wantsthe best for the kids, and withthe knowledge that he ob-tained being on the city coun -cil, and all the training that hegot, it makes him one of thosepeople that knows how to getsomething done,” AnnMarieHanley said.

MAN OF ACTION: Greg Hanley (above at a ZoningBoard of Appeals meeting in November) haslived in Pembroke about six years and jumpedright in with involvement on his kids’ sportsteams, on local boards such as the ZoningBoard, Recreation Commission and Wage andPersonnel Board and with projects such as the

Mattakeesett Street baseball complex.

Pembroke Express

2009 Citizen of the Year

Greg Hanley






Pembroke is lucky to havemany people who give theirtime and money for a varietyof causes. Here are just threewe think deserve an honorable

mention for their contributionsin 2009 and beyond:

B b Clar e andMarc s F rd

T his year’s Veter-ans Day ceremonybrought a breath of

fresh air to the holiday — lit-erally.

The event was moved out-doors and coincided with therededication of the VeteransCommemorative Town Forest.

Conservation Commis -sion chairman Marcus Fordand Conservation Agent BobClarke spearheaded a projectto give the forest entrance anew face, seeking donationsand volunteer labor from indi-viduals and businesses to makethe spot something to see.

The new agpole, stonesign and benches at the forestentrance on School Street pro -vided a perfect backdrop for acelebration of Pembroke ser -vicemen and women.

Not only did Clarke and

Ford work diligently to re-furbish the site but they havehelped get the Bay Circuit Trailcompleted, tying in Pembrokewith the Eastern Massachu -setts “emerald necklace” con -necting Plum Island to Kings -ton Bay and are both longtimemembers of the ConservationCommission.

“They share a deep con -cern about the lakes and pondsof our town and work closelywith the DPW and WatershedAssociation on these issues,”said Diane Tobin, executivesecretary in the selectmen’s

of ce. “All of these tasks theyhave tackled in a very humbleway, never seeking to be in thespotlight.”

Bob DeMarzo, a formerselectman and local business -man, also commended the twoon their efforts to preserveopen space in the communityover the years.

“They have worked to pre -serve Pembroke’s wetlands,forests and open spaces, whileat the same time making them-selves and their expertise avail -able to those who would wantto use those areas,” DeMarzosaid. “They have been two of several unof cial historians of our community.”

Pam R ell

T here are manypeople who haveleft their mark on

Pembroke over the years, andmany whose work has goneunrecognized.

Pam Rowell is one whoprobably would have preferred

to stay out if the spotlight, do -ing what she did without fan-fare. But there is no denyingher impact on the people of Pembroke and particularly onthe kids.

When Rowell died in Sep -tember of a heart attack, theloss was felt by many whohad known her over the 11years she was Pembroke’s rec -reation director. It was espe -cially heartbreaking so closeto a major step forward for thetown skate park project — oneof Rowell’s longtime causes.

Assistant Director SueRoche, who worked side byside with Pam for 10 years, saidin September that even when

the skate park project was puton the town’s back burner, “itwasn’t really far from her heart.She was still driven to get thatfor the community.”

Roche said Rowell’s fam -ily is hoping to plan a familyfun day in honor of Rowellthis spring, recognizing thecreativity and passion shebrought to the recreation de -partment.

“She loved being in townand was very involved withthe kids,” Roche said. “Shewas always trying to come upwith something creative —haunted houses, Easter egghunts. Disney on Ice was oneof her favorites. She would dowhatever she could to makeeverybody feel welcome. Shecame from Hingham and justkind of merged herself rightin.”

As Recreation Commis -sion chairman Greg Hanleyput it shortly after Rowell’ssudden death: “It wasn’t a job;it was a calling for her. Shewas the heart and soul of Rec -reation.”

the musical features a range of music genres, including rockand roll, western, calypso anddisco.

The show stars PHS senior

Sam Lathrop as Joseph andfeatures three students actorsin the role of narrator — AJMarino, Kayleigh Brennanand Abby Thompson — plusa large cast and crew of highschool students.

While Herold leads thestage direction, choreographyand technical aspects of theshow, her sister, the district’sDirector of Fine and Perform -ing Arts Gwynne Sousa, is di -recting the vocal performanc -es, of which there are many.Along with the high schoolsingers, the show features achildren’s chorus made up of 58 kids from grades 4-7, cho -sen by audition.

“Every three years we tryto do a show with the youngerelementary grades,” Heroldsaid. “We did ‘The King andI’ three years ago and had theyoung princes and princesses.… The children’s chorus hasbeen fantastic. They ’ve beendoing a wonderful job.”

The chorus has been re -hearsing every Thursday af-ternoon.

“It’s almost like an opera,

because there are no spokenlines through the entire show;it’s all sung,” said Brennan,a PHS senior and one of thethree narrators.

The role, along with theentire show, has its challenges.

“It’s a massive part,” Bren -nan said. “The narrator sings inalmost every song.”

“You have to have the au -dience watching you the wholetime, otherwise they’ll miss thestory,” said Marino, a PHS ju -nior. “We have to interact withall the other characters without

seeming like we know them.”Enunciation is also impor -tant to make sure the audienceknows what’s happening andcan keep up with the fast paceof the show, said Thompson, a

junior.“It ies by,” she said.Playing the title character

also comes with a few chal -lenges.

“He’s so involved in theentire show because it is allabout him, and it’s all sung.So it does put kind of a strainon your vocal chords,” Lath -rop said. “In a way, because of Joseph, I’m helping lead thewhole cast, and I’m so gratefulto Mrs. Sousa and Marcie forgiving me that responsibility.”

Lathrop, who has beentaking voice lessons at BossAcademy of Performing Art inHanson for seven years, saidhe put in a lot of time outsideof school to develop his part.

“I made sure that I reallyprepared for it, because it wasreally important to me, just be -ing my senior year,” he said.

One of his favorite num-

bers is “Close Every Door,”Joseph’s big solo.

“The kids’ chorus comesin and sings with him, andit’s special to me because mybrother’s in the kids’ chorus,”Lathrop said.

That scene is also one of Herold’s favorites.

“The rst time he sang it,back in November, I lost it inthe back of the auditorium,”Herold said. “I said to Sam,by the time I get to February,I don’t think I’m going to beable to be in the room. He’s

just so amazingly talented andbrings so much to the charac -ter. He had it already in No-vember, and I can just imaginewhat it’s going to be like onopening night.”

The costumes used in ‘Jo -seph’ come from as far away asa college in Nevada — foundwhen Herold was searchingfor backdrops online.

The scenery is designed totransport its audience to Egyptand the surrounding region inBiblical times but is also “min -imalistic,” Herold said, allow -ing the stage crew to changescenes quickly during a showthat basically doesn’t stop.

“In the typical show, thereare blackouts between scenesand scene changes. There’snothing like that written intothe script at all,” Herold said.“Everything goes from onenumber to the next number soeverything — their costume

changes, the scene changes —all happen in the bright lightin the middle of the show.They’re singing and they’rechanging their clothes.”

Though the story is basedon a Bible tale, Herold and heryoung actors said it is not a re -ligious show.

“There are tragic parts,”Brennan said, “but it has ahappy ending.”

Jan. 10 was the publishing anniversaryof Thomas Paine’s Common Sense, a47-page political pamphlet calling for

American colonists to proclaim their indepen -dence from England’s governance, and pro -

moting establishment of a constitutional republic.It has been alleged thatGeorge Washington wasso persuaded by Paine’swords he stopped sup -porting the King of Eng -land and that CommonSense inspired ThomasJefferson’s writing of theDeclaration of Indepen -dence.

Without this pub -lication, chances are we would not be theUnited States of America we know today: Itshaped America. And, via example, the notedquotation of Abraham Lincoln’s GettysburgAddress, “government of the people, by thepeople, for the people,” certainly inspired byCommon Sense, may never have been con -ceived without Paine’s groundwork.

The essence of Common Sense lies withinPaine’s vision when he wrote, “We have itin our power to begin the world over again.”It lies within the vision of Robert F. Ken -nedy, who put forth, “There are those wholook at things the way they are, and ask why... I dream of things that never were, and askwhy not?” And it lies within President RonaldReagan’s declaration, “For as much as gov -ernment can do and must do, it is ultimatelythe faith and determination of the Americanpeople upon which this nation relies.” Reaganfurther stated, “All of us need to be remindedthat the federal government did not create thestates; the states created the federal govern -ment.” Its essence lies within the vision of Barack Obama wherein he said, “Change willnot come if we wait for some other person orsome other time. We are the ones we’ve beenwaiting for. We are the change that we seek.”

Its essence dictates that hope is reservedfor people, not governments, and that change

founded on hope requires new ways of think -ing by the people.

One of the most often repeated quotesin American politics is by our own formerSpeaker of the House of Representatives, TipO’Neill, who said, “All politics is local” —meaning political success is achieved whena congressional representative represents theeveryday concerns of the place of traditionalvalues commonly known as Main Street. Iam fairly certain that Tip’s perspective camefrom his long experience and not from someenduring value taken from Common Sense.However, it fundamentally, too, is very muchwithin the essence of Common Sense.

Common Sense’s idealism, advocation of principles and profundity is as signi cant to -

day as it was in 1776. Now as then, CommonSense conveys the same powerful message:“the government depends for its legitimacyentirely on the consent of the governed.”

Today, however, we have seemingly lostour sense of those ideals. That’s apparentlybecause Americans have adopted a view thatthe Constitution is of the government and notof the people, and theytend to blame government, whether it is fed -eral, state, city or town, rather than themselvesfor America’s, or their individual commu -nity’s, failures. America has acquiesced to afading spirit and instead adopted an unwilling -ness to stand up for what they believe.

If Americans are concerned over thedecadence of their freedoms, and if they au -thentically want a “government is best whichgoverns least,” then, in the words of MahatmaGandhi, “Be the change you want to see in theworld.”

That change begins with each one of us,extends to the family, expands to the commu -nity, which in turn in uences other communi -ties, and empowers the State.

what d y u think ab ut President obama pledging $100 milli n f r Haitian re

By H rat Green

P rsp ctiv s

A nybody that readsthis paper justknew that Patrick

Chilcott would be all red upabout Scott Brown’s electionlast week. In fact, I suspectthat within minutes of AylaBrown warbling her way into“Dancing in the Streets,” Pat -rick put pen to paper.

There’s no question thatScott Brown and his supportersdeserve an enormous amountof credit for the campaign theyran. Brown did an outstand -ing job as a campaigner and,like President Obama’s cam -paign in 2008, hiscampaign was atextbook exampleof what happenswhen a charismat -ic and likable candidate tapsinto the anger of the elector -ate. He, like Obama, also wasfortunate to be challenged by acandidate that made mistakesand took the voters for grantedwith their complacency. As Istood in the snow in front of Town Hall with my MarthaCoakley sign, I felt like I’dbrought a slingshot to a gun-

ght.The work starts for Brown

now, though. It’s easy to sayno to an unpopular heath carebill, but what isn’t going to beeasy is to nd a solution to thecontinued rise in health carecosts. Since Newt Gingrichstormed into power in 1994,the Republicans have had 16years to do something (any -thing!) about health care andhave repeatedly punted. Whilethe Republicans talked aboutthe nancial burden they be -lieve the health care bill thatdied last week would havecaused, what has the cost beenof their inaction these past 16years? How much has the so-called “party of scal conser -

vatives” cost families acrossAmerica? Not just Americansthat can’t afford health care orhave pre-existing conditions,but the majority that actuallyhave health care. How manyhard-working people have hadtheir yearly salary increaseoffset by the increase in thecost of their health insurance?

Brown has an opportunityhere to decide his fate as asenator. He can line up behindMitch McConnell and say noto everything. If he does that,he’ll almost certainly be sweptout of of ce in 2012 (especial -

ly if we Democratsnd a candidate that

knows who CurtSchilling is). What Ihope he does is goes

to D.C. with the intent of ac -tually trying to get things ac -complished. The Republicansdidn’t take back the Senatelast week. In fact, they aredwarfed in the Senate 59-41. Idon’t agree with much of whatI heard from Brown, but he’sbeen a politician in Massachu -setts for a long time. If he goesto D.C. and behaves like astaunch conservative, he’ll begone in no time, and he surelyknows that. He won this elec -tion because of the discontentof independent voters, as didObama a mere 14 months ago.Since 2006, independent vot -ers have made it clear whatthey don’t want. What theyhaven’t done is clearly de newhat they do want. While I’mhopeful that Brown can har -ness their discontent and getthings done for our state, he’llbe up against a lot of pressurefrom his party nationally to do

just the opposite.Matt York

V erizon, AT&T, T-Mobile — all familiar terms forsomething we take for granted today: telephoneservice. No one can or wants to imagine what

life in the 21st century would be like without this meansof communication. I suppose the up side would be no tele -marketers, no dinnertime interruptions and no wrong num -bers. But on the other hand, there would be no long-distanceholiday conversations, no home Internet service and lots of wasted time making needless trips when you could havecalled. And where would today’s businesses be without In -ternet hookups, faxes and conference calling?

We all remember that until the breakup of AT&T, Ma

Bell ruled the phone lines and smaller phone companieswere virtually un-heard of or a poorsubstitute withlimited service andpoor quality.

If you lived in Pembroke during the rst half of the20th century, you might have been part of a small but veryreal thorn in the side of the Bell Telephone System — TheSchoosett Telephone Company. This tiny local systemcame into existence right around the turn of the century andlasted, as far as anyone can determine, until the beginningof World War I.

It is said that the telephones themselves were well made,all put together carefully by hand. Any parts that might cor -rode, tarnish or rust were heavily nickel-plated. At one timethere were as many as 23 of these telephones, all operat -ed from a single wire, with a second wire (for grounding)stuck directly into the ground. The system ran from Sim -mons Store on Washington Street, up Water Street, where itcrossed Schoosett Street and ran up to where today’s Route3 blocks the road, and down to the old Hanover bridge — adistance of about 5 miles all run off a single wire.

The subscribers to the phone system were the onlystockholders; there were no of cers, no bills to pay (exceptfor maintenance) and no central of ce. Except for crossingtwo streets and the North River, the line ran through pas -tures and woodlots belonging to the subscribers. Your phonenumber was easy to remember — it was any one numberbetween one and twenty-three. You were required to countthe number of rings to determine if the call was for you. If your number was 21, then you picked up when the phonestopped ringing after 21 times.

An item in a Boston newspaper from shortly before1914 headed, “Schoosett Phone Company Still Functioning... Little Pembroke Out t De es Entire World and ScornsAbsorption,” says it all. The Bell System tried hard to takeover the little system only to be told that it was “built byprivate individuals for private use over private land.”

The Bell System tried every method they could think of to legally end the little company, but to no avail. Eventu -ally they gave up, but the little company soon died on itsown, leaving behind 23 early 20th century collectors itemsto gather dust in attics all over North Pembroke.

Congratulations to Chuck Crossley and Fred Doyle for cor -rectly guessing a view of Schoosett Street (Route 139) nearWater Street as this week’s mystery picture.

The boys team dominatedtheir meet with Silver Lake,winning 82-62, while the LadyTitans also edged the Lakers86-74.

Silver Lake hung arounduntil the backstroke. CaitlinGallagher, Devon Fallon andShannon Savage clinched themeet from the Titans in theevent by earning 11 points to

Silver Lake’s ve.“Some surprise swimsfrom some girls helped us getthe edge there,” Brian Noyessaid. “That was nice to see.”

In addition to Gallagher’swin in the backstroke, Pem -broke also got rst-place n-ishes from Jenna Bostwick inthe breaststroke, Emma Ripa-trazone and Rebecca Blathrasin the 50-yard freestyle andJenn Salas in the 200-yardfreestyle. The 4x200 freestylerelay team of Salas, Blathras,Bostwick and Ripatrazonealso came in rst, as did themedley team of Gallagher,Bostwick, Ripatrazone andShayna Nolan.

On the boys side, Jay

“They are the rst swim-mers for me that I havecoached for four years, sothis was special,” Noyes said.“They are great kids, and I’veseen some of them come fromnot even being able to swim50 yards without stopping andneeding a rescue to competingand racing.

Boys B asketBall

W inn served as captain of the volleyball team in hersenior season and is currently wrapping up hernal year with the swim team before switching

to tennis in the spring. She shared her thoughts on …

… where she plans to go next year. I’m still waitingto hear from a couple of schools, but so far, it’s looking likeUMass Amherst, Fair eld or Providence.

… becoming a teacher. I’m thinking of either anEnglish or a history major with secondary educationin mind, but I’m not completely sure. I’ve had somereally great teachers in high school; it seems like agood profession — and I’m a lot better at Englishand history [laughs].

… the Pembroke summer swim program. I’ve been doing that since fourth grade and nowI’m coaching it. It’s really fun, and the kids arealways amusing. It’s fun to teach them, and theyare always doing something funny.

… learning new sports in high school. Ipicked up volleyball and tennis in high school. Idid the spring volleyball clinic in middle schooland my older brother’s friends did it and had a tonof fun, so I decided to try it when I got here. Andmy mom plays tennis and she’s always been tryingto get us to play. I didn’t really have a spring sport,so I gured I’d pick it up.

… her favorite high school sports memory. It isprobably the volley tournament from last year. We went

pretty far and we got to bring a fan bus down to the Cape.That was pretty cool.

… her other favorite pastime. I dance with a schoolhere in Pembroke and I’ve been doing that for 14 years. I dotap, jazz, street funk and lyrical dance. I used to do ballet,but not anymore. My mom just started me in lessons when Iwas little, and I just loved it so I kept up with it.

… her plans after high school. I’d de nitely like totravel a bit and maybe study abroad in college. I’d like to goto South Africa. I think it would be a really cool place to goand see what life is like over there.

The boys basketball teamhas been living dangerouslyover the last few games, butthey are living well.

The Titans survived acomeback from the NorthQuincy Red Raiders and heldon for a 60-54 win Friday atthe high school.

It was a game of peaks andvalleys for both teams fromthe tip off. Pembroke foundthemselves down by 11 pointsin the second quarter but wentahead by one before halftime.

Pembroke then dominatedthe third quarter, only allow-ing one Raider basket in the

nal minute of the period to

pad their own double-digitlead. But Jonathan Coates ledNorth Quincy back to within a

eld goal in the fourth quarterbefore Pembroke was nallyable to pull away for gooddown the stretch.

“We didn’t fold, and thekids made big plays,” headcoach Paul Wholey said. “Itwas our bes t win of the yearby far.”

Graham Edwards andJames Coner carried the Titanoffense in the rst half, stak-ing them to a lead at the endof the rst quarter, but the RedRaider full-court press sty-mied the Titans in the second

and allowed North Quincy to jump up by 11.

“Teams are pressuring usa lot,” Wholey said. “We’reyoung, we’ve had problemswith pressure and we’re notgoing to stop seeing pressureuntil we prove we can beat it.Once we beat the pressure andget some points, we can goback and set up our defense.”

Pembroke eventually set-tled down and began to runtheir offense again. By half-time, the Titans erased NorthQuincy’s lead and took aone-point lead into the lockerroom.

The Titans came out of thelocker room for the secondhalf determined to make a de -fensive stand of their own. Bigmen James Gaine, Matt Negusand Dan McCourt dominatedthe paint on both ends of thecourt, while Pembroke’s peskyguards forced turnovers and

did not allow North Quincy toscore until there were only 40seconds left in the half.

While Pembroke ran up alarge lead with their play inthe third quarter, Wholey saidthe key to the game was stillthe second quarter when Pem -broke broke North Quincy’smomentum before halftime.

“I thought the key to thegame was when we fell be-hind,” he said. “We didn’tpanic, we didn’t fall apart andwe kept plugging away. Be-fore you knew it, we were upby a point at halftime.”

However, Coates brokeout of his scoring slump in the

fourth quarter, hitting threestraight 3-pointers as part of his game-high 27 points andbringing the Red Raiders backto within a eld goal.

The Titans clung to theirslim lead until the nal min-ute when sophomore guardJustin Ryan drained a clutch3-pointer from the top of thearc to make it a three-posses-sion game. Gaine then hit a b iglayup and Negus sank two bigfree throws in the nal minuteto end any hopes of anotherRaider comeback.

“Justin hit a huge three,”Wholey said. “Matt Negus hittwo free throws and grabbed abig rebound and Gaine cameup with a big basket. It wasour most balanced attack.”

The Titans then movedback over the .500 mark onTuesday in similarly dramaticfashion with a 65-63 win overHingham on Tuesday. Pem-broke nishes the Keenan Di-vision portion of their sched-ule on Friday at Duxburybefore returning home to faceQuincy.

Smooth sailing for girlsWHP smokes Scituate to keep playoff hopes alive


Kristina Kennedy must

have missed the memo aboutthe girls hockey team’s scor-ing slump.

Kennedy kick-started theWHP offense with two goalsin 24 seconds to lead the girlshockey team to a 4-1 win overthe Scituate Lady Sailors atthe Pilgrim Arena in HinghamSaturday.

Kennedy gave WHP a 1-0lead with 12:31 left in the rstperiod off a pass from JackieSullivan and then doubled thelead at the 12:01 mark.

“She came out ying,which was really nice,” assis-tant coach Joe Coulter said.“She played a great game.”

WHP added another goalat the end of the second periodcourtesy of Alex Davis. AfterScituate scored their lone goalin the third, Kelsey Murray gotit back when she muscled thepuck through a scrum at thefront of the net.

At the other end of the ice,Kelly Travers was solid againbetween the pipes for WHP.The Whitman-Hanson juniorstopped 12 of 13 shots on goal,

and Coulter said she continuesto progress as a goalie in everygame.

“Kelly is doing really well,”he said. “She’s got somewherearound a 2.5 goals-against av-erage and she is having a verygood season.”

The wide margin of vic-tory allowed WHP to use theirentire bench in the win. Fresh-man goalie Melissa Hatch re-

lieved Travers after Murray’sgoal to get her rst action of the season.

“She’s been working hardin practice and she deservedto be in there,” Coulter said of Hatch. “She did very well andI’m very pleased. The girlsplayed well as a team and itwas nice to see everybody getout there. It was a good teameffort and an important win.”

The last time the Titansfaced the Lakers, Pembroke

coughed up a two-goal leadin the third period and barelyescaped with a tie. Saturday,they made sure it didn’t hap-pen again.

Chris Water eld scored 49seconds into the game and theTitans never looked back in a6-1 win over the Lakers at theHobomock Ice Arena. It was agame head coach Mark Duffycalled a “must-win” for histeam.

“This was a huge gamefor us,” Duffy said. “[SilverLake’s] record is not indica-tive of how strong they are.We desperately needed twopoints, and we got them.”

The Titans scored threetimes in the rst and third peri-ods. Water eld’s goal was fol-lowed by one from Mike Fall5:15 into the rst. Water eldthen sent a pass across thenet to right winger Tim Cahillfor a one-timer to make it 3-0Pembroke.

After the Lakers cut thelead back to two, they lookedto gain more momentum at thestart of the third when the Ti -tans went on the penalty kill

less than a minute into the pe-riod. But Pembroke was ableto kill off the penalty, and cap-tain Matt Sheehan pushed thelead back up to three 3:12 into

the period and swung the mo-mentum permanently back tothe Titans.

“It was extremely impor-

tant to get that goal,” Duffysaid. “In the second period, wetook a lot of penalties for notplaying disciplined hockey,and we need to address that aswe get closer to the end of theseason. But we were pleasedto come back out and stretchthat lead.”

Sheehan scored again inthe third, and Paul Bevis putthe nishing touches on thePembroke win.

The Titans now lookpoised for another trip to thestate tournament while theLakers are languishing withone win.
