Class of ’57 pals stay close with annual reunionsBy Becca Manning, express staff

Every fall, as Pem-broke students head back to school to re-

unite with friends and teachers, a group of seven students from Pembroke’s past have a little re-union of their own.

The women, all members of the Silver Lake Regional High School Class of 1957, share rooms at a local hotel and spend that day, evening and the follow-ing morning talking, laughing and reminiscing about growing up in Pembroke.

An unfinished special Town Meeting may mean lights out for Community Preservation Act projects — at least until spring — but it won’t keep of-ficials from moving forward with an energy audit of town buildings.

On Monday, selectmen voted unanimously to allow the Energy Committee to hire Schneider Electric to conduct the audit, which will identify

areas where upgrades could result in higher energy effi-ciency. The ultimate goal is to combine these upgrades into an energy service contract that would enable the town to pay for projects with money saved on utility bills.

Visit with Mary Ann SmithBy Mike tropeano

express contriButor

It will not be tough to find Mary Ann Smith on Nov. 2. She will be

at one of the town’s four poll-ing locations making sure that voting goes smoothly for an-other Election Day. While she is currently in the third year of her first term as town clerk, it will be her 30th year work-ing for the town of Pembroke. Smith’s involvement goes back even further, as she start-ed volunteering shortly after moving to Pembroke with her husband Dick and daughters Kim and Danielle.

How did you start get-ting involved in the town? We moved to Pembroke 31 years ago. I had spent most of my life in Quincy and lived in Marshfield where my daugh-ters Kim and Danielle were born. We wanted a new house before Kim started school, and moved to Pembroke. I started when Kim was in kin-dergarten at North Pembroke. I joined the PTO and eventu-ally became the president. I really feel that if the children are involved in something the parents should help.

What are some of the things you have participated in? Right now I am involved in the Tree Lighting ceremony. I have also coached basket-ball and served on the boards for softball and soccer. I was happy to have worked with my husband, Dick, in the initial building of the soccer fields at Hobomock Elementary School, where I now go and watch my grandson Evan play. What I am most proud of is working to bring the Vietnam Memorial Wall to Pembroke in 1995. That was the best, because it was the most re-warding and touched so many people.

I also worked in the build-ing inspector’s office for 26 years before becoming town clerk. I started working there when I went in to get a build-ing permit for a new chimney. They needed somebody to cover the office, and I ended up getting hired.

What is your role at this year’s Tree Lighting cer-emony? Kathy Keegan has me working on the cookie decorating committee. We have ordered 300 fresh, baked cookies from the culinary arts program at Silver Lake. The kids who attend can decorate them as one of the activities that night. I am working with Linda Trabucco on this and have asked some of my friends to help out. I am looking for-ward to another successful event on the Town Green.

You had an article in-cluded with the other Com-munity Preservation Act re-quests. What was it for? The town has several books in our safe that go back to the 1700s. The books have all sorts of information about the town — who lived here, the amount people paid in taxes and even facts like how many cows each person had. The covers and bindings have become worn over the years. We were lucky to have some money left over from the 275th anniversary and were able to bind some of the books, but not all of them were done. I want to make sure the rest are taken care of and pre-served. They are an important part of our history.

What are some of the changes that you have done in the town clerk’s office since being elected? I think

the most important was mak-ing sure that all of the vital statistics were updated and stored on the computer. We also used the computers to cat-alog things such as the passed articles at Town Meeting. This makes it much easier for us to access the information in the office. I also became a notary public and offer the service for free to town residents. All they have to do is come by the of-fice Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. or Monday nights with the proper paperwork and I will notarize their documents.

What are some differ-ences you have seen in your time in the town? There are so many. When I moved here, Stop and Shop was not there, and Oak Street was not paved. We have grown to a town of 18,981 people. We are proba-bly more family-oriented now. I do see more of the younger people getting involved, which is great, especially when there are so many families where both parents work. It is nice to see people helping out. I also think the change to a Pem-broke-only school system has been good. I am proud to tell the people who ask how great the schools are. It is the sys-tem that my daughters went through. Now I am back in-volved because of my grand-son Evan.

CUTLER = CHANGE FOR THE BETTER!

Ready for a change, Pembroke?

It’s clear we need to make some changes on Beacon Hill. Unfortunately my opponent has been in office so long he’s become part

of the problem. I’ve spent the past ten years as a newspaper editor, looking out for the public interest and keeping an eye on our government.

With your support I’ll bring that same spirit of reform and independence to the State House. We

need to get the focus back on helping the middle class and not the special interests. On November 2, let’s change Beacon Hill for the better!

Meet Josh Cutler. Your full-time, accessible and independent choice for state representative

My agenda☛ Prioritize local aid & school funding.

☛ Work to contain spiraling health care costs.

☛ Advocate for our small businesses and local artisans, farmers and merchants.

☛ Promote alternative energy and push incentives for green technologies and green job creation.

☛ Fight for better resources to clean-up and manage our many Pembroke ponds.

☛ Provide a full-time voice at the State House, expanded office hours and real constituent service.

☛ Work to abolish practice of lawmakers getting taxpayer-funded “per-diems” just for driving to work.

Alleged truck thief to appear in court

A Pembroke man who allegedly stole a truck in Hanson and crashed it in Kingston has been charged with vehicle theft.

Jesse R. Wright, 29, of Lady Slipper Circle, has been summonsed to appear in Plymouth District Court on Nov. 10 on the charge, which stems from an incident that occurred on Sept. 19. Hanson police were called to the parking lot of the Venus III Restaurant on Main Street around 6:30 p.m. on the report of a vehicle theft. The vehicle owner told officers his Chevy Silverado had been taken from the lot. The doors had been left unlocked and the keys were inside.

Around 8:40 p.m., Kingston police called Hanson to report that the vehicle had been in-volved in an accident at the corner of Grove and Pembroke streets in Kingston. When questioned, the driver, Wright, allegedly told police the ve-hicle belonged to a friend and that he had been leaving the friend’s home when the accident oc-curred, according to reports. Wright complained of pain and was transported to the hospital.

The vehicle owner told police he did not know Wright.

Two-time mixer thief caught on tape

A Marshfield man is facing theft charges af-ter he was allegedly caught on camera twice in one day walking out of Kohl’s without paying for a Kitchen-Aid mixer.

On Tuesday, Oct. 19, a Kohl’s loss preven-tion employee told police he watched the man, Andrew H. Chmielinksi, 58, of Hayloft Lane, Marshfield, place a Kitchen-Aid mixer valued at $500 into his cart, then push it out the door without paying. The employee was able to write down the man’s license plate number. As he was filing a report, he observed the same man return about an hour later, park in the same spot and

remove another Kitchen-Aid mixer from the store, according to police reports. The employ-ee chased the man but was unable to catch him; however, he again wrote down the license plate number.

Police called Chmielinksi to the station where they showed him surveillance tapes that clearly recorded the theft, according to reports.

Chmielinski faces two charges of larceny over $250.

Trio charged in apartment break-in

Police have arrested two Pembroke men and charged a third after they allegedly broke into a friend’s home and stole $400 and two bottles of prescription pills.

Derek Stevens, 22, of Redwood Circle and Kyle W. Jones, 19, of Debra Road were arrested Sunday and charged with felony breaking and entering of a building, larceny over $250 and larceny of a drug.

A Pembroke Woods resident returned home Sunday evening to find that $400 in cash, much of which came from a container of quarters, and two prescription bottles were missing. Police later discovered a family friend had borrowed the resident’s vehicle while they were away and that the apartment key was kept with the vehicle key, according to reports. The friend, Jones, was brought in and questioned and allegedly told police he and two friends had entered the apart-ment and taken the items.

With a goal to light all the trees on the Town Green this year, the Pembroke Chamber of Commerce Tree Lighting Committee is seeking help from the community. Busi-nesses can sponsor a tree (Maple, $500; Cedar, $300; Birch, $100) and will receive a link on the Web site (pem-broketreelighting.com), their company name/family name in the event program, a sign on one of the sponsored trees on the green (larger donations will have closer signage to the bandstand), a wrapped box with their name under the holi-day tree and an announcement on the PA system. Through the Buy a Bulb program, the gen-

eral public can purchase white LED lights at local home goods stores and donate them to the project by dropping them off at the Board of Health office at Town Hall, recycling cen-ter on Hobomock Street and other sites to be announced. For more information, go to pembroketreelighting.com. The Tree Lighting will be held Sunday, Dec. 5.

Six Community Preserva-tion Act projects will have to wait until spring for funding after the second night of fall special Town Meeting failed to draw the necessary quorum.

Only 84 voters showed up at the high school last Thurs-day, just over half the number needed to discuss the remain-ing three articles on the war-rant. At 7:45 p.m., Town Mod-erator Steve Dodge accepted a motion to adjourn sine die — which essentially translates to “without time or place cer-tain,” according to Dodge.

Action taken on 25 articles earlier in the week will remain, while the three articles yet to be discussed will have to be placed on the warrant at the spring meeting, if proponents choose to do so.

Along with the CPA proj-ects, voters had not yet dis-cussed Article 9, which would allocate $36,000 for energy audits of town buildings. En-ergy Committee member Nick Zechello said after the meeting that the group would be look-ing into other funding possibil-ities for the audits, which are a crucial step toward entering a performance contract — a way to pay for building upgrades through energy savings.

On Monday, selectmen authorized the committee to move forward with the audit (see page 1).

The third article not dis-cussed, Article 5, was a place-holder article to set aside mon-ey for separation pay benefits; however, officials were recom-mending no action be taken.

It was the first time in sev-eral years that Town Meeting had to be continued a sec-ond night. Business had been nearly completed Tuesday, Oct. 19 when resident Bill Cullity stepped up to formally question the quorum around 11:30 p.m. When voters were counted, there were only 110 people remaining — 40 less than the required 150 quorum — and the meeting had to be suspended.

Cullity said after the meet-ing that he had been watch-ing to see when the number dropped below quorum. He supports having a zero quorum — no set number for business to be conducted — and said he felt those who support the 150 quorum should make sure the numbers are there.

Cullity attended the sec-ond meeting last Thursday and said he stood by his decision. He plans to propose an article reducing the quorum at the spring Town Meeting.

“I’m going to ask the se-lectmen if they will support it, but I’m going to do it by peti-

tion just to make sure it is on the ballot,” he said. “Every Town Meeting would have ended this way if I had ques-tioned them in the past. This town will never get another Town Meeting finished with-out some change in the quo-rum.”

Thursday’s meeting was unusual not only because it failed to draw a quorum but because it had to be recessed to the high school gymnasium, as students were using the audito-rium to rehearse their fall play.

At 7:30 p.m., Dodge of-ficially opened the meeting in the small entrance to the audi-torium, quietly hitting the gav-el as play practice went on just past the second set of doors. He recessed the meeting into the gymnasium, then held it for another 15 minutes to wait for a quorum that never came.

Despite the low turnout, Dodge said he was “heart-ened” that 84 chose to return on Thursday.

“These are the dedicated bunch. My guess is that most of these people stayed for most of the meeting [on Tuesday],” Dodge said. “I was heartened by the fact that when the quo-rum was questioned and we counted, we still had 110 peo-ple there. That’s just 40 short of a quorum who stayed there four hours, through thick and thin.”

Dodge said he felt, though short, the meeting had gone well.

“I thought the meeting, even though it ended on a strange note, was probably one of the best meetings we’ve had in a while. There was a lot of good discussion on weighty is-sues. People were civil. There was a lot of good, productive discussion,” he said. “It’s too bad it had to end this way, but people have a right to question the quorum. We have a quo-rum requirement in town, and

we didn’t have a quorum so we couldn’t conduct business.”

Dan Murphy was a pro-ponent of the Lydia Drake Li-brary project, which was up for CPA funding to replace and renovate windows. He said it would have been nice to have the project funded this fall, as the first phase (which already has been approved) needs to be done in conjunction with the second, but that there was no hurry.

“The unfortunate part is that the exterior part of the building, the vinyl siding, has already been removed, so that leaves the building exposed to the winter elements,” Murphy said. “Not that if it had been approved tonight that the work would have been done in time anyway. One of the contractors looked at the building and said it would survive the winter, so it’s not something that has to be done immediately.”

Town Meeting cut shortSecond night fails to draw necessary quorum; CPA projects must be resubmitted this spring

Town Moderator Steve Dodge officially opens the second night of the fall special Town Meeting in the foyer outside the Pembroke High School auditorium. The meeting was recessed to the gym because the auditorium was being used for play practice, then adjourned indefinitely because of a lack of quorum.

Town Meeting attendees mingle as they wait for a quorum of 150 people. The meeting was adjourned at 7:45 p.m. with just 84 vot-ers checked in.

Town Moderator Steve Dodge thanks voters for coming Thursday.

Saturday, Oct. 30 will be ➢a special day for Richard Na-tale. After working for the last 34 years at the UMass/Boston Harbor campus as a utility plant operator, he will retire. Over the years, he has been privy to the visits of lots of famous digni-taries, politicians, entertainers and athletes. He was present when (then) Senator Barrack Obama gave the commence-ment speech at graduation. His department also assisted dur-ing the memorial service for Ted Kennedy. He remembers when he was “marooned” on campus during the Blizzard of ’78. After working all of his life, Richard has informed his wife, Barbara, that his pri-mary activity during retirement will be to sit and watch the grass grow. She is hoping this is just his tongue-in-cheek way of saying he wants to relax and have some fun. He probably will spend more time at their condo in Myrtle Beach; brows-ing through antique shops, yard sales, flea markets, thrift shops and auctions; spending more time in the garden next year; and decorating the wooded area in his backyard with his shopping finds. Hopefully he will fight that urge to become a “shopaholic.” Barbara hopes he will use part of his energy do-ing some housework.

The Southeastern Philhar- ➢monic Orchestra is celebrating their 95th concert season, with Maestro Robert C. Babb cel-ebrating his 32nd year. Patri-cia Mosher is a board member, plays Violin I in the concerts and is concertmaster for the or-chestra. The next concert will be held on Sunday, Nov. 7 at 2:30 p.m. at Weymouth High School. Admission will be two or three canned goods for the needy. A Christmas concert will be held at Immaculate Concep-tion Church in Weymouth at 7:30 p.m. on Dec. 4. Tickets may be purchased at the door.

On Thursday, Oct. 21, ➢ Jer-emy Roenick was inducted into the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame in Buffalo, N.Y. Jeremy played 1,363 games, with 513 goals and 703 assists, for 1,216 points in all. Among American-born players, he ranks third in career

goals and points. Roenick took ownership of the Pembroke Country Club over a year ago.

Hobomock and Bryantville ➢elementary schools have started a weekly Double Dutch jump roping program for students in grades 3-6. They meet before school on Mondays. Double Dutch has given the students a sense of teamwork and self-confidence while participating in a fun activity. The students will learn jumping styles in-cluding speed, dance routines and free style. They learn quick-ly how to jump in and turn the ropes. The program is under the guidance of coach Patti Travers in conjunction with the Red Auerbach Youth Foundation, which believes in the value of sports and athletics to healthy development, both physical and emotional. Julie Morris and Lara SanGiovanni, who are both teachers in Pembroke, are coaches/coordinators at Hobomock. There are 50 jump-ers from Bryantville, 27 from Hobomock and 11 from North. It was parent Tricia Foley who introduced the program to Bry-antville four years ago.

There is definitely a nip in the air! The minute I feel a chill, I turn the heat on or up depend-

ing upon the situation. About a week ago, my daughter told me she found the cat in her bed snuggled under her covers and her pillow. I didn’t hesitate to suggest that maybe the cat had a chill. That same evening when her seven-year-old said she was cold, her mother told her to put on a sweater. The follow-ing morning when everyone was get-ting ready for school, my daughter felt quite warm. When all of the children were on their school bus safely, my daughter went back into the house. Going upstairs, she noticed that the thermostat had been turned from off to 75. Apparently, the seven-year-old decided she had had enough of being cold and she turned on the heat the night before. My daughter was flabbergasted because her 10- and 12-year-old sons would never dream of doing anything like that. I have a feeling my granddaughter is always going to be at least one step ahead of both her parents and her brothers. And now let’s see what’s going on around town.

layering flavors adds dish depth

By Michelle conway, express coluMnist [email protected]

Layering flavors is to the cook what painting on a primed canvas is to the painter; layering provides the extra pizzazz to a dish in the same way that a simple

reflective panel provides glorious oomph to a photograph. A good recipe can stand on its own without the extra steps. However, taking the time to layer the flavors will add depth of flavor to a dish and provide that little extra something that makes a meal stand out in the crowd.

Most recipes call for sautéing onion before adding other ingredients. The onion acts as a base to the rest of the dish; when you eat the dish, the onion flavor won’t be a primary flavor. To enhance the onion flavor, sauté some of the onion as the recipe indicates and add the rest of the onion halfway through the cooking process. If a recipe calls for three cloves of garlic, find three opportunities to add it to the dish. Sauté it at first with the onion, squeeze another clove in when the sautéing is done and add a third clove toward the end of the cooking process to give the dish a garlic bite.

Below is a recipe for Lentil and Roasted Squash Soup. It is written in two ways. The first is the way the recipe would be written in a cookbook; the second demonstrates how to layer the flavors. Even with the added steps, the soup takes only 60 minutes start to finish and 40 minutes of that time is simmering time.

In the layered version, a bit of the squash is added at the beginning to enhance the flavor base. This is a basic principal of flavor layering. Add a bit of an ingredient at the beginning and more as you cook to make the flavors sing. Add a bit of finely chopped raw shrimp to the base of your soup or pasta dish; tiny pieces of sausage or meat cooked with the onions and celery will give more depth to your sauce or stew and please your palate in unexpected ways.

Roasted Squash and Lentil Soup1 butternut squash, peeled2 carrots, chopped1 onion, chopped3 cloves of garlic, chopped1 celery rib, diced fine4 tablespoons vegetable oilKosher salt4 cups chicken broth 4 cups water3/4 cup dried lentilsBlack pepper

To roast the squash:Preheat oven to 425.Cube the squash to a size to fit on a spoon in the soup. In a

bowl, toss the cubed squash with 2 tablespoons of the vegetable oil until coated. Tip the squash onto a foil lined cookie sheet. Sprinkle with Kosher salt.

Roast on the lower rack of the oven for about 10 minutes (until starting to brown). Turn the squash cubes and roast another 10 minutes (until starting to brown).

To make the soup:Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a pot. Add the

chopped onion, carrot, celery, garlic and sauté until soft. Add the broth, water and lentils to the pot, bring to a

simmer. Cover and simmer 40 minutes, until the lentils are cooked. Stir in the cooked squash, season with black pepper.

Alternate method — layering the flavors:Use the same ingredient list and same squash recipe as

above; however, cut three-quarters of the onion fine and one-quarter rough chop. Cut one carrot fine and one rough chop.

Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a soup pot. One at a time (about 30 seconds apart), add the finely chopped onion then 1 finely chopped carrot, then all the celery, then 1 clove of garlic and a few cubes of diced squash (can be cooked or raw). Sprinkle with kosher salt. Once all the vegetables are added, turn the heat down to low, cover the pot and allow the vegetables to sweat until soft. Once the veggies are soft, add another garlic clove. Give it 30 seconds in the pot. Add the water, broth and lentils. Simmer for 25 minutes. Add the rough cut carrot, onion and remaining garlic clove. Simmer until the vegetables and lentils are cooked, about 10 more minutes. Stir in the cooked squash. Season with black pepper.

(Henrich) Simmons, a member of the group (sometimes called the “Big Seven”), who now lives in Sagamore Beach. “We leave after two days of being to-gether and we say, ‘What did we talk about?’ and we don’t know. But we always have a good time.”

Simmons was a kindergartner at Center School in 1944 when she met Susan (Baltzer) Green. The girls were joined by Ilona (Blom) Mitchell in first grade, then by Joan (Bou-dreau) D’Alessandro and Meredith (Bostalk) Piscitelli in third grade and Peg (Early) Mur-rin in sixth grade. The arrivial of Ann (Bray) Zaniboni in ninth grade finalized their group, and by the time the girls were in high school, their seven was solid. They would remain so for the next 50 years.

Six of the seven friends entered nursing; some made it a lifelong career. All seven were married, some divorced; all had children, and later grandchildren; some moved away, as far west as California and south to Florida; but all of them kept in touch over the years, through phone calls, birthday cards and eventually through e-mail.

“There were just so many things we had in common, even though it had been a long time since we graduated high school,” said D’Alessandro, who still lives in Pembroke with her husband John, also a Silver Lake graduate. “There were good times and bad times, but when we got together for our 50th birthday, it seemed like we had finally gotten it all together.”

Reunions had been sporadic up until 1989, when the ladies celebrated their 50th birthdays together. At that point, they decided to hold re-unions every year.

“I think we all figured that it was a time in our lives where we could do it. So many of us lived right there in Massachusetts. Peggy and myself are the only two who had to travel to get there,” said Green, who now lives in Florida. We just kind of started to do it, to get together once every fall. I would find out when Peggy was coming and we’d plan to do it at the same time. It just kind of stuck.”

This September, the group met at a hotel in Cohasset; the year before, they gathered at a bed and breakfast in Plymouth, where they had the second floor to themselves.

“In past years, the wine has flowed and ev-erybody really partied. The last few years have been very mellow,” D’Alessandro said. “We sit around, have a little wine or a few drinks and have a lovely dinner and then talk some more, laugh some more. Then we wake up in the morning, have breakfast and then in the af-ternoon we go home.”

D’Alessandro and Mitchell still live in Pembroke. Zaniboni lives nearby in Hanson. Murrin flies in from Cal-ifornia, while Piscitelli drives down from Bos-ton for the get-togethers.

A lot of the con-versations involve the women’s shared history in Pembroke, where they grew up and attended school before joining Silver Lake Regional High School their junior year. The friends were not excited about the change.

“That was terrible. We just hated it. Our allegiance was to Pembroke — we wanted to graduate from here,” Simmons recalled. “We would wear black from head to toe on Fridays when we went to Silver Lake. I don’t know who started it, but it lasted for two years. We laugh about it now.”

They went from a class of 37 at Pembroke to a class of about 100 students at Silver Lake.

“It was a very big change. Once we got there, we were OK, but it took a lot of adjust-ing,” D’Alessandro said. “And only being the second graduating class, it was tough.”

Seeing Pembroke separate back into its own high school was a welcome sight for the Silver Lake alumni.

“I’m glad to see after all these years that the kids are back in their own town in Pem-broke,” D’Alessandro said. “And the town has grown a lot. I think when we were growing up, there were maybe 3,000 or 4,000 people. And there were no traffic lights.”

The group plans to keep up their annual visits as long as they can — with more regular

meet-ups for those who live close by — and all of the “Big Seven” are looking forward to com-ing back for Pembroke’s 300th anniversary cel-ebration in 2012.

Staying close for so many years — even

before technology like e-mail, Facebook and texting made pals just a click away — is an ac-complishment the seven fully appreciate.

“Just to see each other and know our history together brings tears to your eyes,” D’Alessandro said. “I’m just blessed that we all have each other and we’ve known such a treasured friendship all these years.”

So what’s the secret to a long friendship? Simmons said it’s really no secret at all.

“We just call each other when we think of it. I’ll be doing something and I’ll think of Joan and I’ll give her a call,” she said. “It’s not a formal thing, more that we just like each other, and we’re always so supportive of each other.”

Though they have remained in touch over the years (pictured above in 1982), the friends only met up every few years until 1989 (below), when they celebrated their 50th birthdays and decided to get together every year.

High turnout expected on Tuesday“I think it’s going to be a

very close election. It’s going to be a watched election. We have so many different races going on,” Smith said. “I am expecting a large turnout.”

As of Monday, about 300 absentee ballots had been sub-mitted to the town clerk’s of-fice. Voters can choose to vote absentee if they will be out of town for the day or during polling hours or have another hardship that prevents them from making it to the polls.

“That is a lot higher than usual. I think a lot of it is that the Republican National Com-mittee is sending postcards and people are sending them back requesting an absentee ballot,” Smith said.

Voters have until Monday, Nov. 1 at noon to request an absentee ballot; ballots must be submitted by 5 p.m. that day. Absentee ballots will be distributed among the five pre-cincts and counted the day of the election with the rest of the votes.

For the first time in many years, representatives from the Massachusetts Republican Party will be acting as observ-ers at local polling places. They will stand behind work-ers at the check-in table. When a voter gives his or her name and address, the checkers then will repeat the name and ad-dress to the observers, who will check the name off a list.

“They’re not allowed to talk to any of my workers.

They’re not allowed to ques-tion them. They have to be very quiet,” Smith said of the observers. “I think what they’re looking for is to see who gets out and votes.”

As of Monday, Smith had only received notice from the Republican party about hav-ing observers on site. Smith said observers tend to come in during heavily contested state races but that she hadn’t seen any in Pembroke for 10 to 15 years.

“They usually leave around 5 or 6 and look [at the list] and then they start making phone calls,” Smith said.

The town clerk also ex-pects to see supporters handing out information for at least one write-in campaign. Hanson resident Thomas E. Chambers is asking voters to write his name in for Plymouth County Sheriff and formally notified Smith of his campaign on Oct. 14. Stickers have been distrib-uted, but voters also may write in the candidate’s name and address if they choose.

Chambers is running as a Democrat against current Plymouth County Sheriff Jo-seph D. McDonald Jr. after former Democratic candidate Richard Pond dropped out of the race shortly after the pri-mary.

All campaign supporters must stay 150 feet from the door to each polling location, and voters may not bring any campaign materials, includ-ing clothing, into the polling room, Smith said.

Also unusual for an elec-tion, Pembroke voters at pre-cincts 1 and 4 will see a slight-ly different ballot than those at precincts 2, 3 and 5. That’s because part of Pembroke lies in Plymouth County District Seven (precincts 1 and 4) and part lies in District Eight (pre-cincts 2, 3 and 5). Each district will be selecting a candidate to serve on the Plymouth County Charter Commission, a group created by Question 4 on the ballot that will study the coun-

ty’s government structure and recommend changes.

“This could be the first time this ever happens, that our town is getting two bal-lots,” Smith said.

The town clerk’s office will remain open during poll-ing hours, and local results will be available at Town Hall after the polls close, once votes at all five precincts are tallied. For election information, call the town clerk’s office at 781-293-7211.

Pembroke residents in pre-cincts 1 and 4 will see a slightly different ballot than those in precincts 2, 3 and 5. That’s because Pembroke is split by Plymouth County d i s t r i c t s ( d i f f e r e n t than being part of the state’s Sixth P l y m o u t h District). Question 4 on the ballot seeks to create a Plymouth County charter, and voters will be voting for one candidate in their Plymouth County district to serve on the charter commission. All other candidates will be the same on every ballot.

Below is a complete list of the names as they appear on the ballots, including the two sepa-rate Plymouth County Charter Commission options. Political parties are shown in parenthe-sis and include: Democratic, Republican, Independent, Unenrolled, Green-Rainbow and the Bring Troops Home party. Incumbents are marked with an asterisk. In all races, voters will select one of the candidates.

WHO’S ON THE BALLOT?

continued from page one

ballot initiativesThe following information about the three statewide ballot initiatives,

including a summary of the for and against arguments, comes from the Sec-retary of State Elections Division Web site (sec.state.ma.us/ele).

QUESTION 1: This proposed law would remove the Massachu-setts sales tax on alcoholic beverages and alcohol, where the sale of such beverages and alcohol or their importation into the state is al-ready subject to a separate excise tax under state law. The proposed law would take effect on Jan. 1, 2011.

A yES VOTE would remove the state sales tax on alcoholic bev-erages and alcohol where their sale or importation into the state is subject to an excise tax under state law.

A NO VOTE would make no change in the state sales tax on alcohol beverages and alcohol.

Proponents argue: Massachusetts’ consumers have always paid a substantial excise tax on alcohol purchases. However, before last year, Massachusetts had no sales tax on the purchase of alco-hol. The new sales tax should be repealed because it is an unfair “double tax”; a sales tax on top of an excise tax. The new sales tax has hurt small business owners who sell beer, wine and liquor, particularly near New Hampshire, which has no sales tax on alco-hol. Business has declined substantially for many of those stores. (Frank Anzalotti, Committee To Repeal the Alcohol Sales Tax).

Opponents argue: Alcohol is not a necessity and does not de-serve a special tax exemption. The only goods in Massachusetts exempt from the sales tax are necessities like food, clothing and pre-scriptions. If anything should be taxed, products like cigarettes and alcohol should be. Revenues from the alcohol tax provide dedicated funding for health care services for more than 100,000 residents with behavioral health problems. Massachusetts has some of the highest rates of alcohol and drug abuse in the country — the last thing we need is to take money away from prevention and treatment services to make alcohol more accessible. The alcohol tax helps save lives by reducing teen drinking and funding treatment services to help people beat addictions and get their lives back on track.

Nearly every state has a sales tax on alcohol in addition to ex-cise taxes. Massachusetts faces a serious budget deficit; don’t give alcohol a special exemption. (Vic DiGravio, Treasurer, Committee Against Repeal of the Alcohol Tax)

QUESTION 2: This proposed law would repeal an existing state law that allows a qualified organization wishing to build government-subsidized housing that includes low- or moderate-income units to apply for a single comprehensive permit from a city or town’s zoning board of appeals, instead of separate permits from each local agency or official having jurisdiction over any aspect of the proposed hous-ing. The repeal would take effect on Jan. 1, 2011, but would not stop or otherwise affect any proposed housing that had already received a comprehensive permit and building permit for at least one unit.

Under the existing law, the ZBA holds a public hearing on the application and considers the recommendations of local agencies and officials. The ZBA may grant a comprehensive permit that may include conditions or requirements concerning the height, site plan, size, shape or building materials of the housing. Persons aggrieved by the ZBA’s decision to grant a permit may appeal it to a court. If the ZBA denies the permit or grants it with conditions or requirements that make the housing uneconomic to build or to operate, the appli-cant may appeal to the state Housing Appeals Committee (HAC).

After a hearing, if the HAC rules that the ZBA’s denial of a com-prehensive permit was unreasonable and not consistent with local needs, the HAC orders the ZBA to issue the permit. If the HAC rules that the ZBA’s decision issuing a comprehensive permit with condi-tions or requirements made the housing uneconomic to build or operate and was not consistent with local needs, the HAC orders the ZBA to modify or remove any such condition or requirement so as to make the proposal no longer uneconomic. The HAC cannot order the ZBA to issue any permit that would allow the housing to fall be-low minimum safety standards or site plan requirements. If the HAC rules that the ZBA’s action was consistent with local needs, the HAC must uphold it even if it made the housing uneconomic. The HAC’s decision is subject to review in the courts.

A condition or requirement makes housing “uneconomic” if it would prevent a public agency or nonprofit organization from build-ing or operating the housing except at a financial loss, or it would prevent a limited dividend organization from building or operating the housing without a reasonable return on its investment.

A ZBA’s decision is “consistent with local needs” if it applies requirements that are reasonable in view of the regional need for low- and moderate-income housing and the number of low-income persons in the city or town, as well as the need to protect health and safety, promote better site and building design, and preserve open space, if those requirements are applied as equally as possible to both subsidized and unsubsidized housing. Requirements are con-sidered “consistent with local needs” if more than 10 percent of the city or town’s housing units are low- or moderate-income units or if such units are on sites making up at least 1.5 percent of the total private land zoned for residential, commercial or industrial use in the city or town. Requirements are also considered “consistent with local needs” if the application would result, in any one calendar year, in beginning construction of low- or moderate-income housing on sites making up more than 0.3 percent of the total private land zoned for residential, commercial, or industrial use in the city or town, or on 10 acres, whichever is larger.

A yES VOTE would repeal the state law allowing the issuance of a single comprehensive permit to build housing that includes low- or moderate-income units.

A NO VOTE would make no change in the state law allowing issuance of such a comprehensive permit.

Proponents argue: A “yes” vote will repeal the current “Chapter 40B” statute, a law that promotes subsidized, high-density hous-ing on any parcel of land without regard to local regulations, the neighborhood or the environment. By stripping away local control, it has destroyed communities in rural, suburban and urban neighbor-hoods alike, while lining the pockets of out-of-state speculators. A “yes” vote will stop this outrageous misuse of taxpayer money and allow cities and towns to build affordable housing for those who need it most. (John Belskis, Coalition for the Repeal of 40B)

Opponents argue: This referendum would abolish the primary tool to create affordable housing in Massachusetts without provid-ing any alternatives. The law has created 58,000 homes across the state and is responsible for approximately 80 percent of new affordable housing over the past decade, outside the larger cities. Repealing this law will mean the loss of badly needed construction jobs. Homes and jobs will be lost, and there will be less affordable housing for seniors and working families. (Tripp Jones, Campaign to Protect the Affordable Housing Law)

The Jett Foundation’s charity fundraiser on Nov. 6 promises to bring together the community leaders of Boston along with its social, sport-ing and business elite under one roof to enjoy a different type of game at Fenway Park. Chris Collins from New Eng-land Cable News (NECN) will be the emcee, and there’s always a good chance a Red Sox player will show up at Fenway. At this black tie op-tional event, held in the State Street Pavilion Club at Fen-way Park from 7-11 p.m., each guest will receive “play” money to try their luck “play-ing the tables” of black jack, poker, roulette craps and more — all the while having a spec-tacular view of Fenway Park

surrounded by friends and col-leagues.

All proceeds from this event will support the Jett Program for Pediatric Neuro-muscular Disorders at Mas-sachusetts General Hospital for Children, which offers the only coordinated care for chil-dren with neuromuscular dis-orders in New England. This clinic was launched by the Jett Foundation in 2007 and is run by the world’s leading expert on Duchenne muscular dystrophy, Dr. Brian Tseng, providing the groundwork for urgently needed research and life saving clinical trials.

This event is open to the public. To purchase tickets or to learn more, visit.jettfounda-tion.org.

QUESTION 3: This proposed law would reduce the state sales and use tax rates (which were 6.25 percent as of September 2009) to 3 percent as of Jan. 1, 2011. It would make the same reduction in the

rate used to determine the amount to be deposited with the state Commissioner of Rev-enue by non-resident building contractors as security for the payment of sales and use tax on tangible personal property used in carrying out their contracts.

The proposed law provides that if the 3 percent rates would not produce enough revenues to satisfy any lawful pledge of sales and use tax revenues in connection with any bond, note, or other contractual obligation, then the rates would instead be reduced

to the lowest level allowed by law. A yES VOTE would reduce the state sales and use tax to 3 percent.

A NO VOTE would make no change in the state sales and use tax rates.

Proponents argue: Last year, the state legislature and Gov. Patrick raised the sales tax to 6.25 per-cent. A “yes” vote would create 32,929 productive, sustainable jobs; give back an average of $688 every year to each taxpayer; save northern Massachusetts retail businesses and jobs by keeping shoppers here instead of driving them to New Hampshire’s 0 percent sales tax; and attract shoppers from Rhode Island, Connecticut, Vermont and New york. It safely trims fat: 5 percent from $52 billion in total state govern-ment spending. It does not reduce spending for cities and towns, police, firefighters, schools, roads nor any essential service. (Carla Howell, Alliance to Roll Back Taxes)

Opponents argue: The sales tax helps pay for things we all value and rely on. We all want good schools, police and fire protection, safe roads and bridges, clean water and quality health care. Cutting the sales tax by more than half will prevent us from achieving these goals we share. Our communities rely on local aid to pay for schools, public safety, and emergency services. Local aid has already been cut by 25 percent in the last two years, forcing communities to reduce services. This proposal would result in further cutbacks. This proposal would take away $2.5 billion in state revenue. This is about half the total amount the state sends to our communities each year to help pay for public education. The recession has forced communities to reduce services. We cannot keep cutting without doing lasting harm to our schools, health care and the services that strengthen our communities.

Finding different ways to see light seems a natural pro-

gression for retired electri-cian Paul Duthie. After almost 40 years in the field, Duthie now works with colored glass — creating stained glass piec-es to celebrate every season.

Duthie got his start in his new hobby just over a year ago, when he happened upon a newspaper ad announcing stained glass classes. He had long admired church win-dows and found the designs interesting, so he decided to check out the classes offered at Whittemore-Durgin Glass Company in Rockland.

His teacher, Dick Marsh, has been with the company since 1980 and keeps an open mind in his educational phi-losophies.

“There are plenty of tech-niques in working with glass, but none are really the abso-lute right way to complete something,” Marsh said. “You can do something wrong, which can be dangerous work-ing with glass, but you can find many ways to make your project.”

Duthie said that ability to create whatever he wants us-ing endless colors and cuts is what he likes about his new-found craft. He is particularly proud of a stained glass win-dow ice cream sundae that he constructed for the Dairy Twist on Route 53. The col-orful sundae picture window has unique cuts and took him many hours to complete.

The artwork was some-thing Duthie did out of kind-ness for the owners of the popular sweet spot.

“The Dairy Twist is a short walk from the house, and we love their ice cream,” Duthie said. “I enjoyed working on the project.”

He received a free ice cream after presenting his gift.

Working with glass is not terribly expensive, accord-ing to Duthie, which makes it more rewarding without

breaking the bank. Many pieces are fun to

make and can be very sim-ple. A small project can take Duthie two hours, and a larg-er, more complex project can take a few weeks.

Duthie has a shop at home that he works in at times and has put 30 hours into some of his projects. As for family support of his hobby, Duthie said his children, both raised in Pembroke, and wife Mary-Lou are pleased with his craft.

“My wife loves everything I make,” he said. “I would say she really was happy with the window glass at our house. It’s about four feet.”

Duthie made the original window so his family could see the bus coming from the side street down the road in the mornings. With his chil-dren grown, they no longer needed the clear 10-inch-wide glass, so he created a glass panel to slide into the already framed window.

The window was on an in-side wall and not exposed to the weather, but the elements and weight of the glass have to be considered in larger projects, which Duthie hopes to advance to.

He has done several sea-sonal pieces for Christmas, Halloween, autumn, Easter

and spring. Many pieces dec-orate his home, but he also has made several gifts of his work.

One piece Duthie complet-ed of a yin and yang symbol appears straightforward but, as he pointed out, the outline of the circle and the cuts in-volved in fusing the two parts together were rather complex.

There are various tech-niques used to cut round glass, which can snap if the incorrect method is used, he said.

Another interesting for-mation Duthie enjoys working with are “gobs,” made from molten glass poured in liquid form onto a sheet. When the gob chills, it leaves unique colored pieces of ball-shaped glass. Duthie has made proj-ects with the gobs and even used them for eyes on a whim-sical frog.

He also has worked with lead came, which is used for exterior work that can be ex-posed to the elements. It is of-ten seen in large church win-dows. Many of his projects thus far have been made of foil tape. The foil is soldered together and holds the parts of glass in the frame of the art-work.

Duthie said he has learned a great deal about the art of stained glass in a short period of time. He plans to continue his classes and looks forward to new projects as his skills progress.

For Duthie, being retired has not brought the typical down time, as he has enjoyed doing home renovations, which are coming along in stages and include adding a three-level deck along the back of his home. He is now finishing a set of eight lan-terns, in which he will insert stain glass to add an updated flair. He also will buff the cop-per finish before hanging the pieces.

voters of the project’s benefits and provide “transparency” for the committee’s work.

Legally, however, the committee did not need Town Meeting approval if no free cash is being spent and the contract is for less than three years, according to Town Ad-ministrator Ed Thorne.

“The Energy Committee has been working hard on this for well over a year,” Peterson said. “We don’t want to miss another winter to study what energy savings opportunities are out there.”

The Town Meeting article, Article 9, requested $36,000 to pay for the energy perfor-mance investment grade audit. That money would essentially be a severance payment for the auditing company, Schneider Electric, if the town chose not to make the upgrades they rec-ommended. However, if after the audit is conducted the town decides to move forward with the projects, that fee will be rolled into the total contract.

One project that could be included in the contract is a boiler replacement at the fire station — a project the chief has agreed to put on hold while the Energy Committee works on a plan, Peterson said. Other upgrades could involve high-er-efficiency windows and air conditioning in each of the town’s buildings.

Pembroke’s annual energy costs are about $1.2 million, Peterson said. The Energy Committee’s goal is to reduce the town’s use by 20 percent over the next five years, which would potentially save the town about $2.8 million in the 12-year life of the contract.

“The Energy Commit-tee thinks the town would be smart to make a commitment to reduce our energy use by 20 percent over the next five years. That’s part of our be-coming a Green Community,” Peterson said. “That’s very doable if we make the capi-tal improvements to get us there.”

Towns that comply with the Green Communities Act are eligible to receive federal grants.

Selectmen had a few questions, including how the $36,000 audit would be fund-ed if the town decided not to move forward with the recom-mended projects.

Peterson said a bill would not be due until at least next fall. But he also said he felt confident the town would want to pursue the upgrades.

“I think the town would

be a poor steward of taxpayer money if they did not go for-ward with the energy service contract once they see the po-tential for savings through the audit,” he said.

Selectman Arthur Boyle said he wanted to be sure the board wasn’t perceived as taking a “run around Town Meeting.” However, Thorne assured selectmen it was within their right to approve the audit.

“I’m satisfied with the town administrator’s explana-tion of what the law allows us to do and what it doesn’t al-low us to do,” Selectman Lew Stone said. “Our job is to look out for the best interest of the town of Pembroke and all of its citizens.”

Also Monday, selectmen agreed to allow a Kingston-based cranberry grower to remove about 40,000 yards of sediment material from his bogs on Valley Street in preparation for the next grow-ing season. Jeff Mathias, a fourth generation cranberry grower, recently purchased the old Hill-Gummerus prop-erty — about 96 acres of bogs between Valley and Birch streets. (The town previously had considered buying the property but no agreement was reached.) Mathias plans to return the bogs to active use starting with the 2011 grow-ing season.

Mathias said he will have five 18-wheeler dump trucks making eight round trips per day between the bog and the out-of-town discharge area. Trucks will be limited to oper-ation between 7:30 a.m. and 4 p.m. Monday through Friday, excluding holidays. Trucks will exit the property by turn-

ing right onto Valley Street toward Route 53, where they will head into Kingston to merge onto Route 3. The proj-ect will continue through the fall and winter with comple-tion by April 1, Mathias said.

Because the site is being used for cranberry growing, the project is exempt from usual requirements, such as an earth removal hearing and Conservation Commission approval; however, Mathias said Conservation Agent Bob Clarke had visited the site and given his OK.

Spaulding, president of a Stetson Pond neighborhood group, said the group had agreed to pay for signs if DPW workers would install them. Spaulding initially requested the speed limit be set at 5 miles per hour; however the mini-mum in a thickly settled area is 25 mph, Stone said. Spaulding hoped the signs would encour-age “better behavior” from both residents and delivery trucks that use the road.

dEadliNE for all letters & commentaries is tuesday at noon.

Well, I for one will be hap-py when Nov. 2 is behind us. Like Joan Dowlin’s

expressions of anger in her Huffington Post column, “Tea Partiers Aren’t The Only Angry Ones,” I too am angry.

I am angry with overstated, over-simplified, treading-on-the-edge-of-distortion political discourse that ac-complishes nothing, one that only accuses the other side with misman-agement or some misdeed. It’s disin-genuously manipulative partisan poli-tics where the priority is to be elected rather than to be a straight shooter who fairly and honestly presents the issues and how they may be cost-effectively and resourcefully resolved. Instead, candidates end up defending themselves, talking about their past and not America’s future.

I am angry with those who seem not to real-ize that we all want less government spending and minimal taxation — but what cuts are going to be made and just what is an appropriate level of taxation? We all want smaller government, but the question is: how small? We all want to stop the backroom deals, but such perceived shenani-gans are fundamental to politics; we all want job creation, improved education and enforced im-migration laws. We all seem to want the same things, but at whose expense? This was exem-plified in a recent gubernatorial debate when Deval Patrick said, “I see government as about helping people, not kicking people to the curb when times are tough. I don’t see the budget as a math problem. I see the faces behind those line items.” In response, Charlie Baker said, “There are plenty of faces behind a lot of the businesses that are dealing with the tax increases that have gone through over the course of the last four years under your watch.”

I am angry with those who fall for politi-cal histrionics, who peddle misinformation and deception; with those who wallow in exploiting

crudity; and with the print and elec-tronic media who present issues hyperbolically and entertainingly rather than with any genuine inten-tion to shed light on demanding and complex issues.

I am angry with the Tea Party’s claim of diversity. When Tea Party supporters have been polled, it has been shown that they have conser-vative views; they are predominant-ly white and certainly not poor.

I am angry with one of the Tea Party’s favorite mantras, “I Want My Country Back,” which is exploited in opposition to ille-gal immigration and anti-government angst. It is addressed at salon.com by David Sirota, who writes, “Cloaked in the proud patois of patriotism and protest, the refrain has become a dog whistle to a Caucasian population that feels threatened by impending demographic and public policy changes. Tea Party activists have resorted to de-claring that there can only be one kind of coun-try — theirs.” “Theirs” is a narcissistically non-compassionate corporate welfare state, one that rejects a social agenda that addresses the fun-damental needs of all people. As Deval Patrick said, “We are still part of America,” adding he was interested in “lifting the whole of America.” The Tea Party’s anger and frustration should be directed at corporations and Wall Street — and at government for embracing corporate hegemony. The forces of corporate power are undermining our system of government and are the undercur-rent that is creating our political dissatisfaction and polarization. That’s where our problems lie.

Dowlin writes, “One thing we can all agree on is that we are all angry and we all have good cause to be upset. But how about we put our anger to good use and channel the energy into bringing about real change that benefits us all? We can if we put aside our differences and work together for the greater good.”

Angry with America’s political dysfunction

By Horatio Green

Perspectives

Next Tuesday, we all have a decision to make on 40B.

Please allow me to express some thoughts. The law has been on the books since 1969. It was enacted so there would be a vehicle for the develop-ment of affordable housing. There is no doubt that all kinds of housing are needed in Mas-sachusetts. So at this time and in this economy, this is no time to scuttle a law that at least is a vehicle to encourage such an endeavor. Of the units con-structed under this law, most units have been apartments. All we have to do is look at what has been developed in Pembroke and Abington as an example of projects that can provide housing for working individuals and families.

As a member of the Zoning Board, I had to investigate if those who oppose such housing had a case. I received a report prepared by UMass/Donahue Institute entitled “The Fiscal Impact of Affordable Hous-ing on Municipalities.” They conducted an investigation of eight projects across the Com-monwealth, and they found the same conclusions that were expressed in recent articles that have appeared in the Pa-triot Ledger. That is that the developments do not generate a substantial amount of school children, particularly one and two bedroom units. They also found that increase in chil-dren at school is not the driv-ing force for increase in school budgets. There are other con-cerns, namely labor contracts, other operating expenses such as energy, mandated programs,

etc. They also found that such units do not increase public service costs, no more then other neighborhoods. As for the Pembroke Woods area, traf-fic was or is not a problem. Two consultants and Mass Highway indicated that traffic was not a problem. Water consumption was also not a problem.

As for the number of chil-dren generated by Pembroke Woods, it is around 50, and as the superintendent of schools has indicated, this is not a problem.

Now let’s not overlook the fact that in apartment com-plexes we have both affordable units and marketable units, all occupied by human beings go-ing to work, paying taxes, in-cluding vehicle excise taxes. The buildings are generating property taxes to the tune of over $300,000 annually, not counting the 144 units previ-ously approved. The people who live there will go out into the community and patronize other business establishments, a plus for everybody.

There are some areas of the law that can be legislatively ad-justed, but let’s not throw out the baby with the bath water. Young people need housing, particularly in this economy. Vote “no” on Question 3.

Affordable housing law needed Letter to the editor

The passage of Article 14 [at the Oct. 19 special Town Meet-

ing] puts us one step closer to locking into another bad, long-term solid waste contract, and it appears that unless the towns-people do something, history will repeat itself and cost us millions of dollars.

The contract offers dis-counts off our rates in the last three years of our current deal if we sign on for another five.

The problem is we are just now nearing the end of the last bad, long-term deal that landed us where we are today — with one of the most expensive waste re-moval plans in the state.

Another long-term con-tract, even at the offered rates, will cost us millions if we miss the opportunity to instead work with new high-tech facilities

being developed in surrounding towns (like Taunton) when our current deal expires.

I admire the selectmen’s efforts and intentions to use the immediate savings to fund curbside recycling. However, the resulting missed savings will be huge and not worth the quick satisfaction. We need to have our options open, with better, more cost-effective fa-cilities opening in the future.

Fortunately, we townspeo-

ple can do something. Today, Pembroke has a roughly 11 percent recycling rate. If we can get that number up to 35 percent or so (which is still be-low average), the reduction in our expense to SEMASS would offset the cost of planned curb-side recycling, making this a victory for everyone. Tripling our recycling rate will not be easy, and we don’t have much time to figure out how we can do it. That’s why I’m calling on

everyone in the town to submit ideas for how we can get there. Send any and all ideas to [email protected], and I will ensure our selectmen hear about them and weigh them in conjunction with the contract being offered. Together, we can work to build a better plan and save ourselves millions of dol-lars in fees in the latter half of this decade. Let’s do this.

rays in the Caribbean and vis-iting Red Square in Moscow. There was little Mary would not try. She enjoyed planning family reunions in places such as the Dominican Republic and Cape Hatteras.

She also liked flying kites and tobogganing with her grandchildren in Vermont, knitting, quilting and rug braiding.

From snack stand to watering hole

By karen proctor, express coluMnist [email protected]

If you lived in Pembroke in the 1930s right through 2007, there is a good chance you knew about Hosea’s Restaurant/Café on Mattakeesett Street at Furnace

Pond. What began as a roadside stand selling hotdogs, sodas, ice cream and other snack foods became a local “watering hole” according to Ed Quill in “Pembroke 2000,” before it closed in 2007 to be reborn as The Lucky Dawg.

Hosea Delano Benson was born in Kingston on Dec. 28, 1900. He was one of two children born to Edmund and Sylvia

(Hernandez) Benson. His father listed his occupa-tion as foreman in a shoe factory. The family lived in Middleborough and

Hanson during Hosea’s formative years. About 1920, Hosea Benson started his working career as a conductor on the elec-tric railway.

Hosea began a life as a victualer in 1928 when he began working at the Brown Betty, a popular Dixieland music and dance spot located at the corner of Mattakeesett and Wam-patuck streets. Soon, Hosea opened a small “Brown Betty An-nex” just down the road from the original building where snack type food was sold to bathers from the beach, bathhouse and boat rental spot newly created nearby.

In 1933, Hosea opened his new place, named Hosea’s, across the street on Furnace Pond. In the 1940s, he expanded the snack stand to include a bar and lunch spot, and eventually into a full restaurant.

According to Quill, Hosea put together a street fair every year on Mattakeesett Street, giving away hot dogs, soda and popcorn to the local children. In the evening, there were fire-works.

Around 1964, Hosea and his wife Mary gave up their careers as victualers. Hosea died in 1980, and Mary in 1987. The establishment was sold but kept the same name, and in the 1990s the bar side was badly damaged by a fire and had to be closed while renovations occurred.

Today, Hosea’s has been transformed into The Lucky Dawg Tavern and Grille, a pub fare-style family restaurant that also serves take-out ice cream. It almost sounds like everything old is new again!

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

Congratulations to Fred Doyle, the only correct guesser of Benson’s Restaurant in Bryantville.

SENIOR MOMENTS

By Dave Palana, SPortS eDitor [email protected]

That the girls soccer team won the Fisher Division cham-pionship this week was almost a foregone conclusion after wins over Scituate and Ha-nover on Oct. 18 and 20. What has head coach Kara Connerty happy about this week’s two wins is that the Titans are put-ting the ball in the net with consistency.

Pembroke put the finishing touches on their banner season with a 4-1 win over Middle-boro on Friday at Hobomock Elementary School and a 4-0 shutout of the Randolph Blue Devils on the road Monday.

The temperatures in the low 40s Friday, with swirl-ing winds, did little to cool off Pembroke’s attack against the Sachems. Renee Trudeau

scored the first of her two goals 10 minutes and 20 sec-onds into the first half, and af-ter Middleboro tied the game less than two minutes later, captain Michelle Coate put Pembroke on top to stay at the 15:39 mark.

Trudeau found the back of the net again at the 17-minute mark off an assist from Mi-chaela McIsaac, and senior Becky Stoyle put some icing on the cake early in the second half off a pass from Coate.

Stoyle struck twice more in Pembroke’s shutout of the Blue Devils on Monday, while McIsaac and Alex Davis each added one in the win that of-ficially clinched the banner.

After missing the playoffs by one point last season, Con-nerty said the team came into this year with the goal of win-ning the league, and accom-plishing that meant a lot to her team.

“That was the goal for the season. It was terrific that they could reach that accomplish-ment,” she said. “Last year we had such a difficult end, and we talked about getting into the tournament. They worked hard.”

The Titans still have three more games in the regular sea-son, but all are non-league. Pembroke will play a home-and-away series with Sacred Heart of Kingston and finish a home-and-away series with Bridgewater-Raynham in Bridgewater on Friday.

By Dave Palana, SPortS eDitor [email protected]

The offense just hasn’t been there for the field hockey team this season. Their 3-0 loss to the Scituate Sailors at the high school on Friday and their 4-0 loss to the Bridgewa-ter-Raynham Trojans on Mon-day were the ninth and 10th shutouts of the Titans by op-posing teams this season, and the loss to the Sailors ended their chances of qualifying for the MIAA tournament.

The Titans came out strong against the Sailors but faltered midway through the period, and Scituate took advantage.

“We started out great, we finished the half great, but we just had that little mental breakdown for about three minutes,” head coach Bill Fly-nn said. “They played well the rest of the time.”

Though Pembroke battle back and earned some corners in the second half, the shots just didn’t come.

“We haven’t scored in two weeks,” Flynn said. “It’s been the problem all year. We had some breakaways and some changes, but we just can’t score.”

With the team now miss-ing the tournament for the second straight season, Flynn said the focus for their final two games is getting playing

time for the seniors and trying to break their scoring drought. Despite the frustration, Flynn said the team is still motivated and determined to scratch out another win before all is said and done.

“The girls aren’t quitting and they are still working hard,” he said. “I’ve got no complaints at all. We’re just going to keep playing hard and working hard.”

Two different fortunes for Titan soccer teams

Becky Stoyle tries to keep warm during a cold game against Middleboro. The cold didn’t slow Stoyle down, as she added a goal in the second half and then scored two in Pembroke’s next game against Randolph.

By Dave Palana, SPortS eDitor [email protected]

Unlike the last few sea-sons, where the boys soc-cer team started slow and rounded into form come tournament time, they never seemed to click this year. Now the tournament is out of the question.

The Titans’ 2-1 loss at home to the Randolph Blue Devils means Pembroke won’t reach the .500 mark needed for the tournament and ends their streak of play-off appearances.

Billy Quigg gave the Titans hope when he put them up 1-0 with a first-half goal, but the Devils evened the score early in the sec-ond half. With time wind-ing down, Pembroke went on an all-out assault to get

back in front, but Randolph took advantage with a quick counterattack to put the final nail in Pembroke’s playoff hopes.

“We couldn’t leave with a tie; we needed the win,” head coach George Stagno said. “We just threw every-thing we had at the net and they caught us.”

This will mark the first time this group of Titans will miss the tournament af-ter making it each of the past three seasons. Stagno said he plans to finish off the year by making sure all the seniors get their time but also get-ting a better look at some of his younger talent.

“I definitely want to look at some of the younger kids who maybe didn’t get a lot of time while we were trying to make the tournament,” he said. “We’re also going to say goodbye to the seniors, and just see what we can do.”

A visit with football captain Matt Allen

Allen is serving as football captain for the first time this season but will be a two-time captain in lacrosse come spring after a stint

with Pembroke’s hockey team in between. He shared his thoughts on …

… his plans for after high school. I’m planning on joining the military, most likely the Air Force. I’m not looking to go to school for another couple of years, so I figured the military would be a good option for me. My family’s been in the military, so that is another reason.

… why he is choosing the Air Force. My grandfather was in the Air Force, and I like planes.

… his favorite sport. Definitely football. I like the physical part of it and I’ve been playing almost all my life.

… his favorite sports memory. In hockey my fresh-man year, we made it pretty far into the tournament. That was a pretty good experience for a freshman; I had never really experienced something like that before.

… his spare time. I just like to hang out with my friends as much as I can, and kick it, I guess.

… his goals. I’m probably not going to be in the mili-tary as a career, but after I do that I might like to do some

kind of law enforcement. I’m definitely interested in that kind of stuff; I don’t know why, I just like it.

weeks too, and we did,” he said. Chelsea definitely led that parade today, but I thought all the girls ran well.”

Zopatti was also happy with the pack time of Molig-nano, Jess Leary, Joyce Si-mon and Shayna Nolan, who all finished just more than a minute apart. Zopatti said the Brown Invitational two weeks ago had them a little nervous about state-caliber races, but they responded with a better day at Silver Lake.

“I thought Molignano lead-ing our pack ran the best race of her career,” he said. “Brown didn’t really work well for the girls, but she was awesome to-day. The other girls responded too, we put all 11 girls under 24 minutes, which we never had before, so I’m really, re-

ally happy for all of them.” The Titans now have just

over two weeks before they head to the Eastern Mass. Championship at Franklin Park. Zopatti expects both Connick and Savage to return to the All-State meet, but said if they can get a big race out of Scanlan and the pack keeps improving, there is a chance the Titans can take home a team trophy for the first time.

“I think we can come in second,” he said. “We’ve nev-er been to All States before and had the top four move on, but I really think the girls have a shot at a trophy. Bishop Fee-han is a better team than we are, but I think Marblehead and Hopkinton are similar caliber teams, so if we have a good day that day we can take home some hardware for the first time.”

People in the stands Satur-day at Hingham High School may have seen an eerie resem-blance between the Pembroke offense and that of the San Di-ego Chargers when they turned on the Patriots game the next day.

The Titans didn’t have the ridiculous turnovers the Char-gers had, but much like the Bolts, they seemed to march up and down the field seem-ingly at will at times, only to come away with nothing to show for it.

When Luke Nagle con-nected with captain Matt Al-len for a nine-yard touchdown pass with 3:38 remaining in the game, it was too late for the Ti-tans to salvage a 28-6 loss to the Hingham Harbormen.

The Titans drove down to the Hingham 15-yard line on their first possession of the game, but the drive ended with three incomplete passes. Their next drive looked prom-ising after a 24-yard run by Jon Hooper on a draw play and a catch by Luke Leavitt

in the second quarter, but the drive stalled again. The Titans moved the ball well to start the third quarter but were stopped on a fourth and two near mid-field.

“We don’t finish,” head coach Bob Bancroft said. “We’ve done that a lot this year. It’s inexperience still, but when you get to your sixth game you have to do better than that. We had some crisp offensive drives for a while, but we just faded. You can’t make mistakes when you’re not as good as the team you’re playing.”

The Titans were able to get on the board with Allen’s touch-down catch, which capped a drive that featured first-down runs by Nagle, Ryan Chapman and Brian Tinkham as well as a catch by James Harty. But while the offense struggled to get over the hump, Hingham found a weak spot in the Pem-broke defense along the edges in the second half and used it to score three of their four touch-downs.

The Pembroke defense was solid in the first half, al-lowing only a second-quarter rushing touchdown to Kevin McCarthy. In the second half, Hingham ran sweep after sweep with their speedy run-ning backs getting around the

Titans for big gains. Ricky Sullivan turned the corner for a 15-yard touchdown run and McCarthy broke down the sideline in the fourth quarter for a 45-yard score. Hingham’s speed to the edges also opened up the middle of the field for Nick O’Keefe to score the first touchdown of the second half on a nine-yard run.

“We did a good job on the perimeter in the first half, and in the second half we just didn’t,” Bancroft said. “Against a team

that wants to run the perimeter like they do, you can’t do that. I was disappointed, I thought we let down when they got that second score. We’re not good enough to let down; sometimes we are going to be down by two scores, so we have to learn we can score two touchdowns in strange ways.”

The Titans won’t see the same kind of running game when they return to Fisher Di-vision play this week against Middleboro, as the Sachems

run a spread offense, but Ban-croft said that his team just needs to take the positives from what happened in Hingham and continued to get better.

“There is some good stuff; they’re just a better football team,” he said. “We’re contin-ually getting good play out of Dan McCourt and Jon Hooper, and Joe Bowie has been play-ing really well for us the last three games. Hopefully we can match up better with [Middle-boro].”

Strong showing for golf at states

two-time captain and two-time Patriot League All-Star.

“Jack is one of the best golfers we’ve ever had in this program,” Consolati said. “This was a nice way for him to go out, and I can see him playing college golf.”

Junior Pete Camerlengo also qualified for the indi-vidual tournament with his 78 last week at sectionals, and finished 13th in the state, and

third for the Titans, with an 80 on Tuesday. Sophomore Kev-in Gately was the final Titan to factor in the scoring with an 81, and fellow 10th grader Jon Nelson shot an 85 as both Titans improved from their rounds at sectionals.

The second-place finish caps a year in which the Ti-tans finished 15-3 to win their second straight Patriot League banner on route to their first South Sectional champion-ship. Reardon, Camerlengo,

Wetherbee and Gately were also named Patriot League all-stars.

“It was a great year,” Con-solati said. “And finishing sec-ond in the state is not a bad way to end it.”

Reardon and Plant are the only seniors graduating from the team this May, giving Con-solati a core of four return-ing golfers with state tourna-ment experience to build on for 2011, three of whom are league all-stars.

Heather Connick proved without a doubt she is the best runner in the Patriot League, Chelsea Savage proved her race against Whitman-Hanson earlier this fall wasn’t a fluke, and the pack for the girls cross-country team proved they are rounding into form at the All Patriot League meet Tuesday at Silver Lake Regional High School.

Connick ran away with the meet, finishing the 5K course in 19 minutes and 7 seconds, and Savage turned on the jets in the final mile. After trailing Abby and Rachel Baker by nearly 15 seconds early in the race, she blew past both Whit-man-Hanson stars and Hing-ham star Julie McConville to take second place in 19:20.

“It was a very big day for her,” head coach Greg Zo-patti said. “She was controlled the whole race and just had a monstrous kick over the last 300 meters. I loved every min-ute of her performance.”

Captain Mary Scanlan also finished in the top 10 for Pembroke, coming in seventh place in 20:34. The Panthers had three runners cross the finish line between Scanlan and Gabby Molignano to win the battle of division champi-ons, but Zopatti said the team proved they have gotten better since their first meeting with the Panthers.

The boys cross country team fin-ished up with the

Patriot League in impressive fashion Tuesday at Silver Lake. Now they shift their focus to a third straight East-ern Mass. championship.

The Titans took four of the top six places and five of the top 10 to win the All Pa-triot League race by 19 over the Keenan Division cham-pion and 91 over third-place Silver Lake.

Whitman-Hanson star Tyler Sullivan led the race for more than two miles, but Wesley Gallagher charged past him in the final straight-way to win the race by two seconds.

Ryan Kelley took third place one second behind Sul-livan, and Brendan Adams and Joe Vercollone took fifth and sixth, respectively, for Pembroke. Captain Ryan Moran crossed the finish line in 10th place to finish the scoring in a dominant win for the Titans, who felt they still had something to prove to their league opponents.

“The goal for the top five was to be controlled over the first two miles and air it out over the last mile, and they let it go,” head coach Greg Zopatti said. “They were a bit quicker than I would have

liked, but they all ran great.”The Titans also got good

runs from junior Jesse Fine and freshman Johnny Valeri, who took 14th and 15th place respectively. Both nearly broke the 17-minute mark. Fellow freshman Christian Stafford and senior Eric Kars-tunen also finished inside of 18 minutes, which will force Zopatti to make some tough choices as he picks his seven runners for Eastern Mass.

“I thought our pack was really what shined today,” he said. “Our number seven and eight runners were freshmen,

and we put 14 kids 18:05 or better, so I am very excited about that.”

The Titans are favorites to win both Eastern Mass. and All States. They hope to save their best performance of the year for Regionals, but Zopatti said the team has to remain focused on the work at hand as they head into Franklin Park on Nov. 13.

“The guys are looking at regionals to be their pinnacle performance, but we’ve got to do the right things to get us there safely and with plenty of rest,” he said.

The Pembroke golf team showed just how deep they are Tuesday at the Division III state golf championships where they capped the best season in their history and put the rest of the state on notice for next season.

The Titans shot a com-bined 315, three strokes better than the South Sectional-win-ning score the week before, to edge Foxboro by two strokes for second place and finish runner-up to Weston in Divi-sion III at the Beverly Country Club.

Each team brings six golf-ers, and their top four scores are counted. Pembroke’s num-ber three golfer, Garrett Weth-erbee, had a tough day with his score rising from an 80 at sectionals to a 92 on Tuesday. But senior captain Kevin Plant

stepped up and shot a 78, the second best score of the day for the Titans, after shooting an 86 last week.

“Garrett had an off day and he was a bit disappointed, but the depth of our team showed itself,” head coach Paul Con-solati said. “Kevin is an ath-lete, and athletes elevate their game with pressure. You never have to worry about nerves with him, and he showed that today.”

Pembroke’s other senior captain, Jack Reardon, led the Titans with a 76 through 18 holes, trimming his sec-tional score by two strokes. Reardon’s score also earned him fifth place in the state in-dividual tournament, played simultaneously, capping a decorated career at Pembroke High School where he was a
