The Hanson transfer sta-tion was shut down for sev-eral hours on its busiest day, Saturday, when improperly disposed of household clean-ers heated up and caused a chemical reaction in one of the containers.

Transfer station manager Chris Callahan said there were no visible flames but plenty of smoke and the smell of burn-ing plastic and chemicals in the air — and a big mess to clean up after the container had to be completely cleared out and the trash inside soaked with water.

“Luckily it happened up there, and we were able to catch it in time,” Callahan said.

Callahan said he knew as soon as he smelled the smoke that they were dealing with a chemical reaction. With smoke pouring out of the container, he made the call to evacuate the transfer station and shut it down until firefighters could respond.

Hanson Fire Depart-ment arrived on the scene around 10:45 a.m. and quickly dumped the container to locate the cause of the smoke. They then had to spread apart all the trash and wet it down to ensure the materials were safe to re-

turn to another container, Fire Chief Jerry Thompson said. Firefighters were on the scene until about 12:25 p.m.

“We believe that it was just some household chemi-cals that were disposed of in the compactor and had a reac-tion. It started to melt the plas-tic containers and to smoke, but it wasn’t actually a fire,” Thompson said.

The Water Department provided a backhoe afterward so the trash could be placed in

another container.Callahan said a similar

incident occurred last August when residue left over in a container of pool chemicals reacted, heated up and caused the plastic to melt and smoke to erupt from the compactor.

Callahan said it is im-portant that residents follow guidelines on the containers they throw away and recycle and that they use up all of a

WHERE THERE’S SMOKE: Hanson Fire Lt. Ralph Becker and Firefighter Keith Wilson, with Fire Chief Jerry Thompson oversee-ing, spray down trash from a container at the transfer station, where smoke and the smell of burning plastic led workers to dis-cover a potential fire. Officials believe several household cleaners mixed together and caused a chemical reaction — though there were no visible flames, heat from the reaction melted the plastic containers and emitted a lot of smoke.

Voters may see just one project up for Community Preservation Act funding at the annual Town Meeting, as the committee charged with reviewing projects attempts to get back on a spring schedule and looks to clarify the town’s goals for the CPA.

The Community Preserva-tion Committee will hold a fo-rum at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, March 16 in the selectmen’s meeting room at Town Hall. All are invited to hear updates on previously approved CPA projects and to learn about funding for future plans.

“The open forum is for us to let people know how their tax dollars are being spent,” said Laura FitzGerald-Kem-mett, committee chairwoman. “We’ll be presenting some of the projects that have been completed with the CPA mon-ey, specifically the Thomas Mill purchase, the rehabilita-tion/restoration of the town assessor’s records and the town clerk’s records and the purchase of the Poor Meadow Brook property.”

The forum also will pro-vide a place for people to dis-cuss how they would like to see the CPA money used.

“We would like to hear from people on how they would like us to spend this money,” FitzGerald-Kemmett said. “Under the framework of the Community Preserva-tion Act, there are only cer-tain things we can spend it on, but within that there’s a lot of room for creativity and a lot of needs that can be met within the town.”

By eMily Brain express intern

High school seniors are faced with countless amounts

of responsibility and stress as they manage jobs, sports, clubs, school work and, of course, the college application process. Whitman-Hanson Regional High School senior Abigail Collins handles all of the average student respon-sibilities, and then some, as, earlier this year, she accepted the position of President of the National Honor Society.

When were you inducted into the WHRHS chapter of National Honor Society? I was inducted into NHS at the end of my sophomore year, so, about two years ago.

How has your position changed since then? Since sophomore year, I’ve gone from member, to secretary, to president and I’ve really en-joyed experiencing different aspects of working with the club. Before I had any real lead-ership position within NHS, I got a chance to just participate in events and get a real feel for everything the organization stands for. I began to develop a real passion for everything that the NHS stands for. I took the first chance I got the next year to run for a leadership position and became the secretary. This position gave me the opportu-nity to work with the organi-zational side of the club, as I worked with other officers to plan and construct events and meetings. By the end of my junior year, I had just become really attached to the National Honor Society and decided to run for president. It’s a lot more responsibility, but it is absolutely worth it.

How did you feel when you were nominated for president? Being nominated for president was such a good feeling. Knowing that my peers supported me and respected me enough to nominate me to be their president made me feel like I had made the kind of impact on my peers that I can be proud of.

How did you feel when you were elected? I was hon-estly pretty scared. It hit me that I had signed myself up for a lot of responsibility and that I had an obligation to my peers and to my community to live up to that responsibil-ity. However, it was also really exciting. Being elected gave me the chance and the power to make decisions about nec-essary change and improve-ments within our community at school and outside.

What are your respon-sibilities as president? I run meetings and help to organize many fundraisers and events that we participate in through-out the year. I also feel that it is an unwritten responsibility that I support all the members of our NHS chapter—that’s a responsibility that I give to my-self. I have so much respect for everyone in NHS and feel like

anything that they are going to tackle, any idea that they have to make some sort of change or improvement, is one worth listening to and pursuing.

In the past, what kind of events has NHS participated in, and what do you hope can be done in the future? Our major event this year was definitely Miles For Meals, the walk for the Whitman and Hanson food pantries that Ryan Kelly put together earlier this year. The walk raised a lot of money for the pantries and continued our efforts to fight hunger and poverty within the community – one of our big-gest focuses throughout the year. We also make multiple trips to the senior centers and we have made it a tradition to bake cookies for the troops, which is something small that we can do that really makes a difference and brightens up their days. Currently, we are selling smiley face buttons to benefit Smile Train, an organi-zation that provides operations for children born with cleft pal-lets. In the future, I really hope we can maintain the position we hold within the community at the moment, continuing our effort toward the causes we al-ready support, increasing what we can give as we grow and become more capable.

What are some upcom-ing events in NHS? Coming up, we have Teacher Apprecia-tion Day, at which we provide breakfast for our teachers and give out “thank you” cards as a small token of our gratitude for everything that they do for us throughout the year. We also have our trip to volunteer at the Greater Boston Food Bank, which always proves to be a fun and rewarding trip that also helps us to continue our work with the food pantries, but on a bigger scale. Near the end of the year we also participate in Habitat For Humanity’s event,

Shanty Town, which promotes homelessness awareness, and is one of my personal favorite events. Wrapping up the year is the induction of new mem-bers, and, shortly after that, we will hold new officer elections and I will give up my position as president, eager to see what next year’s group tackles!

How do you think your involvement in NHS has ben-efited you? NHS has undoubt-edly helped me to grow as a person. First and foremost, in-teracting with my peers within the club I have seen so much intelligence and so much drive. Everyone has such different interests, comes from different groups and are going different places, and yet all seem to be focused on the common goal of making some sort of differ-ence. Seeing all of these people taking the highest-level class-es, while working part-time jobs, participating in clubs and sports, all while still finding time to give back to multiple aspects of society, is truly mo-tivating. Apart from working with my peers, working with our community partners has given me new insight into the growing issues within our own community. My attention has been brought to many issues that, had I not been involved in NHS, I might not have seen. The National Honor Society focuses on scholarship, ser-vice, leadership, and character, and having these keystones to balance what I focus on within my own life has been very re-warding.

The Community Preserva-tion Committee hopes to meet with individuals and groups in town such as the town admin-istrator, Recreation Commis-sion, Housing Authority and Historic Commission to find out what their long-term plans are and how the CPA money might help them, FitzGerald-Kemmett said. She also sug-gested local sports groups and organizations such as Green Hanson might want to attend.

“Our goal this year is to come up with a long-term vi-sion and a mission for how we want to spend the Hanson CPA money,” FitzGerald-Kemmett said.

Though the group will still accept and fund grant re-quests, they also want to ac-tively pursue ideas that would benefit the town.

“We really want to seek input,” FitzGerald-Kemmett said. “The first couple of years, it has been an educational pro-cess for us, with quite a steep learning curve. Although it’s a small law, it’s a complex law in terms of what’s allowable and what isn’t allowable. Now, instead of being reactive, we want to be proactive in looking at where we want to be so that we’ve got a vision that ties in with that of other departments, commissions and elected offi-cials within the town.”

Hanson voters approved the 1.5 percent CPA surcharge, added to property taxes annu-

ally with a certain percentage state match, at the 2008 annual Town Meeting. This year, the state is expected to match lo-cal funds by about 28 percent — a far cry from the 100 per-cent match offered in the Act’s early days.

Since 2008, Hanson vot-ers have OK’d six projects, including the purchase of the Thomas Mill and restoration of town clerk records in the first cycle.

The second year, the com-mittee proposed four more projects, which voters ap-proved, including: an engi-neering study for the firehouse at Camp Kiwanee; the pres-ervation of assessor records; renovations at the historical Bonney House, Hearse build-ing and the Old School “two-holer” on Main Street; and purchase of the Poor Meadow Brook property.

FitzGerald-Kemmett said many of these projects have been completed under budget.

Every year, the town is required to set aside an equal share of CPA funds for each of the three project areas: open space, historical resources and affordable housing. Though figures for the FY2012 an-nual Town Meeting are not yet available, the town has $36,559 set aside in CPA re-serves for each of the three areas, according to Town Ac-countant Meg LaMay.

Previously, projects have come before voters at the spe-cial Town Meeting in the fall, but the committee is looking to get back on a spring schedule, FitzGerald-Kemmett said.

Voters could see one proj-ect at the May Town Meet-ing, a historical project not yet approved by the Community Preservation Committee.

Looking ahead, FitzGer-ald-Kemmett said the com-mittee will be looking for applicants to have sought ad-

ditional funding beyond CPA.“A project will be given

priority if its proponents have demonstrated that they have gone out and really scoured for matching funds,” she said. “We don’t want to be the only funding source for projects. We want to push people to stretch the town’s dollars.”

Individuals and groups interested in pursuing CPA funding should fill out a “pre-application” so the committee can make sure the project fits with CPA guidelines before continuing. Forms are avail-able on the town Web site, by e-mailing [email protected] or by stopping by com-mittee meetings, held the third Wednesday of every month at 7 p.m. at Town Hall.

In particular, FitzGerald-Kemmett said she would like to see housing projects pro-posed — something the com-mittee has not yet seen.

Committee vice-chair-woman Patty Norton, who is also co-president of the Han-son Historical Society and a member of the Historic Com-mission, said she would like to see more historical properties preserved around town.

“I like to see the old stuff maintained as much as pos-sible around town, just to look at it and have people come back and say, ‘Wow, that’s interesting,’” Norton said. “It may spark somebody later on in life to get into history and/or teach or something along that line.”

Author John Morris to speak

Author John Morris will discuss “Alone at Sea: Gloucester in the Age of the Dorymen (1623-1939),” his account of the lives of Gloucester fishermen, on Saturday, March 12 at 12:30 p.m. Hailed by maritime historian Joseph Garland as a “masterpiece that’s been waiting for generations to be told,” “Alone at Sea” is a meticulous and riveting history of the lives of Cape Ann fishermen. The nonfic-tion book details the danger and hardships that often faced these men, including the author’s grandfather, a Gloucester doryman who was lost at sea while work-ing on the schooner, the Orethea F. Spinney. For his book talk, Morris will focus on the years during World War I, when Gloucester do-rymen faced unseen enemies in the German U-boats that prowled the waters off the New England coast. The event, sponsored by the Han-son Public Library Founda-tion, is free and open to the public, but pre-registration is required. To register or to get more information, visit the Hanson Public Library, or call the Library at 781-293-2151.

GET READY FOR SPRING!


The new owner of the old Ocean Spray cranberry com-pany buildings in south Han-son said this week he is look-ing to rehab the property into a mixed-use site, with a few retail stores, offices and apart-ments.

Joseph Marangiello, who lives and owns a small busi-ness in Pembroke, said he pur-chased the property in Decem-ber and will be hiring someone to demolish a falling-down building in the back of the site sometime over the next few weeks.

The property on Main Street stretches from the edge of the Priority Music building at 1057 Main St. to a brick tow-er at the other end of the build-ing, across the street from the

Cranberry Square building. Marangiello said he had

wanted to clean up the site since taking ownership but that bad weather had delayed any action. Heavy snow dropped on the back building has caved in parts of it already.

Hanson Building Commis-sioner/Zoning Enforcement Officer Robert Curran said he had already issued an order to “make safe or remove” to the previous owner, concerned that the long building on the other side of the railroad tracks posed a safety hazard. When the new owner took over, the order was transferred to him.

“There are a lot of structur-al issues. The building hasn’t been occupied in years,” Cur-ran said. “The snow we had this year has increased the in-stability of the building.”

Though the site is fenced off and relatively harmless as long as the gate is locked, the owner has decided to apply for a demolition permit, Curran said.

Marangiello said he hoped to begin demolition within the next two weeks.

“We’re going to remodel the whole place,” Marangiello said. “We want to make a few apartments, a few retail stores and maybe some offices. I’m waiting for the architect to give me some advice.”

Marangiello said he be-came interested in the site because of its proximity to the train station. He had been traveling from Pembroke to Hanson every day to pick up his son at the station and was looking for a place close by where his son could live. That idea led him to ask about the Ocean Spray buildings and eventually to the purchase.

Curran said he thought the area was perfect for a mixed-use development.

“I always thought that part of Hanson, if those buildings were restored, would be beau-tiful,” he said.

An approximately 500-foot-long brick building on the other side of the train tracks near 1001 Main St. will be demolished in the coming weeks. Part of the old Ocean Spray cranberry company prop-erty, the building has been falling down over the years, with more damage brought on by the heavy snowstorms this winter. Photo by Becca Manning

Angelina (Lenoci) DiRenzo, 91, a lifelong resident of Whitman, died in her Whitman home surrounded by her fam-ily on Tuesday, March 8 after a long battle with Alzheimer’s disease. She was the wife of 70 years to the late Frank J. DiRenzo.

Born in Brockton and raised in Whitman, she was the daughter of the late Louis and Madeline Lenoci and a graduate of Whitman High School.

Angelina had worked many years at the former Regal Shoe of Whitman.

She enjoyed cooking, dancing, working in her garden and her many memorable Florida vacations with her husband. One of her great-

est pleasures came from the time spent with her family and friends.

She leaves her daughter, Patricia A. DiRenzo of Whitman; her granddaughter, Paula Thibeault and her husband Jeffrey of Brockton; and two great-grandchildren, as well as nieces, nephews and cousins.

Her funeral service will be held Friday, March 11 at 10:15 a.m. at the Blanchard Fu-neral Chapel on Plymouth Street (Route 58 at the rotary) in Whitman, followed by a Mass at 11 a.m. at the Holy Ghost Church, Whitman. Burial will follow in the Colebrook Cemetery, Whitman. Visiting hours are omitted by re-quest of the family.

Donations in her name may be made to the Old Colony Hospice, One Credit Union Way, Randolph, MA 02368 or to the Alzheimer’s Association, 311 Arsenal St., Watertown, MA 02472.

Stephen P. Beisheim of Whitman lost his three-year fight with cancer on Sunday, March 6 at his home in Whitman surrounded by family and holding the hand of his wife. He was 42 years old.

Stephen was born in Stoughton. He was

a graduate of Oliver Ames High School in North Easton, and received his bachelor’s de-gree from Stonehill College in North Easton. He worked as the foods manager for Costco Wholesale Club where he was an employee for 20 years.

He was a black belt in karate. He enjoyed playing backgammon and cribbage and also enjoyed outdoor activities including scuba div-ing, sailing, kayaking and traveling to exotic

locations. Stephen made the best of his disease by participating in clinical trials in hopes of helping with future cancer research.

He leaves his wife, Cheryl Peters-Beisheim, and his daughter, Hillary Peters, both of Whit-man. He is the son of Peter and Elizabeth (Hef-fernan) Beisheim of South Easton, brother of Paula Beisheim of South Easton and Kathy Beisheim of Yarmouth. He also leaves many aunts, uncles, cousins and his faithful dog Zoe.

Visiting hours will be held in the MacKin-non Funeral Home, 760 Washington St., Whit-man on Thursday, March 10 from 4-8 p.m. A funeral Mass will be celebrated Friday at 10 a.m. in the Chapel of Mary on the Stonehill College campus, entrance at 126 Belmont St. (Route 123), Easton. Relatives and friends in-vited to attend. Interment will be private.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Stephen’s memory to Old Colony Hospice, 1 Credit Union Way, Randolph, MA 02368.

OPEN HOUSE SUNDAY 1-3PM

By Lisa Chapman, ExprEss ContriButor [email protected]

I’ve been so preoccupied with digging out from under all this snow that I just realized that our daylight hours are get-

ting noticeably longer. The increase in daylight hours will soon trigger chickens to start ramp-ing up egg production, so it won’t be long now until we start seeing more farm-fresh eggs at the winter farmers market in Plymouth (plym-

outhfarmersmarket.org) and around town.

Eggs are one of the easi-est local foods to obtain – perfect for those of us trying to buy and eat more locally produced foods. Another great thing about local eggs is that they’re actually more nutritious than the factory-farmed eggs in the grocery

store. Recent studies like the one conducted by Mother Earth News in 2007, are finding that, compared to conventional factory-farmed eggs, eggs from chickens allowed to eat grass, weeds, and bugs (known as free range chick-ens) are lower in cholesterol and saturated fat and higher in folic acid, omega-3 fatty acids, beta carotene and many other vitamins. Not to mention that they taste better and the yolks are a nice bright orange instead of the pale yellow most of us have gotten used to. Many gourmet chefs are now demanding free-range eggs to cook with.

The eggs available locally from farmers markets and from backyard chicken owners around town are much fresher than grocery store eggs, and of course, the fresher the egg, the better the taste. That said, you might notice that a very fresh, hard-boiled egg is tough to peel. If you intend to hard-boil them, you can get around this problem by storing them in the fridge for a couple days before cooking.

Eggs are probably one of the most versatile ingredients to cook with. One of my favorite things to do when I have a lot of eggs (and this

does happen because I’m incapable of passing up a cooler by the side of the road with a sign that reads “farm fresh eggs”) is to make a frit-tata, which is an Italian omelette started on the stovetop and finished up in the oven or under the broiler. You can add any type of veggies, mushrooms, cheese, or meat you like. This one has potatoes and sausage, but feel free to substi-tute ingredients you have on hand.

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil3-oz package sausage, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced (chirizo is delicious!)1/2 red onion, dicedsalt and pepper1 large potato, peeled and cubed 6 large eggs1/4 lb. shredded mozzarella

Preheat your oven to 375ºF. In a medium ovenproof skillet (I love my cast iron skillet for this recipe) heat about a tablespoon of the ol-ive oil over medium heat. Put in the chorizo, followed by the onion and brown for about six minutes. Remove this mixture from the skillet with a slotted spoon, put it in a bowl and set aside. Now add another glug of the olive oil and throw in your potato cubes and some salt and pepper. Stir them around, still over medi-um heat, for about eight minutes. Now put the chorizo and onions back in the skillet. Beat the eggs in a bowl and pour them over the chorizo, onions, and potatoes. Sprinkle with more salt, pepper, and about half the cheese. At this point, stop stirring and just let it cook for about two minutes, still over medium heat, until the eggs start to set. Now transfer the skillet to the 375ºF oven and bake 6-8 minutes until the whole thing is just set. Turn on your broiler and let it pre-heat. In the meantime, sprinkle the remainder of the cheese on top and pop the skillet under the broiler for a couple minutes to brown the cheese. Don’t walk away from it at this point - this part goes fast! Take it out and let it rest for about five minutes so it will slice cleanly. Slice, serve, and enjoy!

Lisa works full-time in the environmental field, but would rather be baking, gardening, crafting, and taking care of the animals on her 1/3-acre Pembroke homestead.

Don’t fritter away those farm fresh eggs

thE DEaDlinE is tuesday at noon.

Sharing the burden, growing awarenessWe noted this morning that Harvard University

has agreed to allow the Reserve Officer Train-ing Corps (ROTC) back on campus after over

40 years. Our first reaction was “big deal!” Harvard has been guilty of institutional hypocrisy for decades; banning ROTC

but accepting numerous senior officers as graduate students and adjunct faculty along with the federal money that comes with the package. Reflecting on this we have developed a more reasoned opinion. This is a good thing because at a minimum it will expose more of the country’s elite to the military and what service means to this country.

With the end of the draft in the early 1970’s and the increasing consolidation of military facilities in the south and western parts of the country, the nation has become disengaged from its military with the exception of the National Guard and, to a lesser extent, the Reserve. While the military has become more professional and more lethal than ever in our his-tory, there is a danger in having the majority of this democracy ignorant of things military, an awareness of the profession of arms and ignorant of the sacrifices demanded of the military and their families. More and more in the media and in govern-ment are ignorant of all things military, and in the case of our elected representatives, ignorance of capabilities and limita-tions is dangerous.

Within the professional ranks, dislocation from the civil-ian society is not a good thing. There is a danger of evolving a professional military class representative of itself, more than the nation. As it is, the profession of arms has become the “family business” to many in service who may represent the third or fourth generation of professional warrior. This in and of itself is not a bad thing, but we need to temper the force with a continuous flow of new ideas and other perspectives. A vigor-ous ROTC system, along with a vibrant National Guard and Reserve force, serve the military and the democracy well.

The nation does not need, nor can it really afford, a return to conscription, the draft. Enabling legislation is in place if we ever need to conscript large numbers for a national emer-gency. What we do need is a pool of leadership talent that can refresh the military and increase awareness among the popu-lace. To that end we believe that ROTC should be encouraged on all college campuses or regionally for smaller schools. We also think a return to mandatory ROTC for freshmen and sophomores at all land grant colleges (primarily the large state universities) as was the case from the mid 1860’s to 1967. The system can then cherry pick the best talent for advanced ROTC and commissioning. The best of those commissioned would be invited to join the active forces, the National Guard and the or-ganized reserve. The balance would form the basis of a pool of individual ready reserve officers for call up in case of national emergency.

In addition, we believe the Junior ROTC should be manda-tory in all public high schools receiving federal money, with a curriculum focusing on individual discipline, leadership skill and physical fitness. This for all girls and boys deemed physi-cally qualified. The program should be instructed by retired military officers and non-commissioned officers and would contain no requirement for military service subsequent to grad-uation. Certainly the development of self-control, discipline and holistic fitness would improve graduation rates and the overall learning atmosphere of our public high schools. Also, it would serve as a civics lesson for all responsible citizens of what service to the nation and to the local community entail.

The Whitman High/Whitman-Hanson Regional High School offers commu-nity residents an opportunity to nomi-

nate people for the Whitman-Hanson Graduate Hall of Fame. The Hall of Fame was established in 1984 to honor graduates of Whitman High School and Whitman-Hanson Regional High School who have achieved success in their fields. The more than thirty graduates inducted represent a wide variety of occupations and in-terests including medicine, the law, education business and the entertainment industry.

Graduates of Whitman High School and Whitman-Hanson Regional High School are eligible for the Hall of Fame ten years after graduation. Persons interested in nominating someone for the Hall of Fame must write a letter

of recommendation to the Alumni Association stating the reasons they believe the candidate is worthy of the honor. A separate letter must be written for each person being nominated. The letters will be kept on file for two years.

This year’s Hall of Fame ceremony will be part of the National Honor Society Induc-tion, which will be held May 16 at 7 p.m. in the Performing Arts Center at the high school. The deadline for submitting letters of recommenda-tion is April 8. If you have any questions, call Richard Rosen ’70 at 781-447-1111. All letters should be sent to: WH/WHRHS Alumni Asso-ciation, P.O. Box 53, Whitman, MA 02382.

chemical and rinse out the bottle thoroughly before dis-posing of it.

Anytime hazardous mate-rials are disposed of without proper care, there is the po-tential for problems. Chemi-cals mix together and react, and batteries should have both ends taped or they could short out. Callahan said he has even seen people dump their ash-trays right into the compactor.

“It happens. It’s part of the job. It’s happened before and I’m sure this won’t be the last time,” Callahan said of the incident. “I can’t control what people throw out. I can only tell them to use common sense, to read what it says on the bottle and if you’re unsure about it, you can call up places like Clean Harbors, which you can find in the yellow pages.”

In the past, the town has offered a hazardous waste col-lection day at least once a year, Callahan said, but because of budget restrictions, they did not hold one this year. He said it is not clear if the program can fit into the FY2012 budget.

“You don’t want people sitting on this stuff for too long because then stuff like this happens more frequently,” he said. “It seems like about every other year we’ll have a fire.”

Callahan said he felt part of the problem was that many people have an “out of sight, out of mind” mentality.

“No one really thinks about it once they throw it into that machine. Once it is out of their mind it’s not their prob-lem anymore. But it’s always somebody’s problem until it’s either recycled or taken to SE-

MASS and ground up, sorted out, burned and turned into electricity,” he said. “The trash doesn’t just disappear. It has a process it has to go through, and some people know that and they recycle very hard. Other people just come up there with 10 bags of trash and your guess is as good as mine what’s in them.”

Callahan said it was lucky the chemical reaction did not cause an explosion or injure any workers. The incident also could have been more expen-sive for the town if it had oc-curred during transportation to SEMASS.

The Board of Health cur-rently is working to rewrite transfer station regulations to make it clearer what is ac-ceptable and how items should be handled. The station is de-signed to handle basic house-hold trash, though people often stretch the limits of what that

may include, Callahan said.The new rules will more

clearly define terms such as “hazardous waste,” he said, to ensure residents know what is acceptable and what is not.

One recent change at the transfer station is that they no longer recycle plastic bags, which can jam up the recy-cling center equipment. There is now a trash barrel at the side of the recycling containers for plastic bags, and Callahan en-courages residents who trans-port recyclables in trash bags to dump out the materials and place the bag in the barrel.

The station currently of-fers a “commingling” system in which recyclable cans, plas-tic bottles (numbers 1-7) and glass bottles all can be com-bined in one container, with clean paper and cardboard to-gether in a separate container. The station does not accept any type of Styrofoam.

Hanson Middle School just completed a two-week fundraiser in which the entire school participated. HMS Builders Co-Presidents Shan-non Arlin and Reba Sanda, spearheaded this effort to raise money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. The fund-raiser was done in memory of former Indian Head School Assistant Principal Valerie Clapp. The Builders Club sold bracelets (some that were do-nated by Craig Clapp) at all lunches to the student body. Teachers Will Candler, Jack Every and Wes Blauss then upped the ante by promising the students and faculty that they would shave their heads, if the donations reached the $1,000 mark. HMS secretary Jan Hurstak, counted the dona-tions and the final total raised was $1,400. A public head shaving then took place. This was a win/win situation…a large donation to the Leuke-mia and Lymphoma Society in Mrs. Clapp’s memory and a fun spectacle for all of HMS to witness.

By Dave Palana, SPortS eDitor [email protected]

Bob Rodgers won’t take over as Whit-m a n - H a n s o n ’s

athletic director until July, but he is already busy with one of his first charges — selecting Whitman-Hanson’s new foot-ball coach.

Rodgers said he and princi-pal Jeff Szymaniak will begin interviewing the three finalists selected by the search com-mittee in the coming weeks and hope to have a new coach in place before the start of the spring sports season.

“It’s exciting to be a part of that,” Rodgers said. “We’ve got some great candidates, and I know we’re going to come up with somebody solid. I hope the kids are as excited as we are to get Whitman-Hanson thinking about football in a positive way.”

Getting both students and parents excited about Whit-man-Hanson athletics is one of Rodgers’ main goals when he takes over for Jim Daley as the AD after the school year. Rodgers has been the boys basketball coach at Whitman-Hanson for 11 years and com-munication teacher for the past seven, which has given him the opportunity to get stu-dents involved in the athletic program in alternative ways, such as being broadcasters and on camera crews. As the ath-letic director, Rodgers said he hopes to expand on these pro-grams to get as many students involved in Panther sports as possible.

“Studies show that students involved in athletics in some way, their attendance is better, they have less problems with discipline and they do better academically,” Rodgers said. “So my goal is to make sure as many kids are involved as pos-sible, not just on the field, but in a variety of ways. I also want to promote what we already have and make sure they know how many sports we have that are non-cut sports. I want to make sure they know that, if they want to be a member of a team, we have a place for them here regardless of their athlet-ic ability. As a teacher, that’s one of the things I strive for, to be somebody that teaches more than what is just in the classroom. When the athletic director job opened, I looked at it as an opportunity to make a greater impact on a wider range of students.”

Rodgers said he hopes to get not only more students in-volved, but also parents and alumni. He said instituting pol-icies such as making blogs for every team and posting cancel-lations and score updates on Twitter will make the athletic department more accessible for everyone involved.

“I want to make commu-

nication better between the parents and the coaches, and the athletic department in gen-eral,” he said. “ Technology is one of those things where you can either become a prisoner of it or you can go ahead and harness it. We want to make it so the parents have a real feel for what happens here, and the alumni, too. One of the things

I want is to make sure that ev-eryone knows that when they graduate, they are still part of this community.”

However, Rodgers said some of his plans may look good on paper, but everything could change when he actually takes the seat in the athletic di-rector’s office.

“It always looks easier

when you are on the side-lines,” he said. “I know how hard Jim Daley has worked, and he’s been a tremendous athletic director. I have some big shoes to fill to step in and replace him.”

Daley said one of the big-gest challenges facing him as the athletic director was the challenge of keeping athletic user fees reasonable amid tight budgetary constraints for the school district in recent years. Rodgers said he is cognizant of the financial problems fac-ing the district in another tight fiscal year, and said he would do his best to keep everything running smoothly.

“The Whitman-Hanson athletic budget is very lean,” he said. “There is no obvious place to say we can cut here. The budget is the biggest issue facing the district as a whole right now, and athletics is cer-tainly not immune to that. We want to minimize the pain of the user fees as much as pos-sible and make sure we give families the opportunity to plan for them and budget a little bit. We owe it to them to make sure

we are running as efficiently as possible so they are not wast-ing their money.”

Rodgers added that he hopes he can save the district a little money by continuing to teach the communications classes at the high school in-stead of creating another open position. As long as he can handle both jobs, Rodgers is hopeful he will be able to stay in the classroom. However, he said he will have to give up his position as the head baseball coach at Hingham High School after the spring season.

“I love coaching baseball and the kids over there have been great, but obviously you can’t serve two masters when you are in this position,” he said. They have a great pro-gram and a great athletic direc-tor, so I’m sure they will find a good replacement for me. [But] I’m hopeful I can contin-ue to teach. The budget is very rough, so if I could teach a few classes, that would help the district out a little bit. As long as I can manage everything at the optimum level, I want to try [doing both].”

Right to work

Bob Rodgers stands by his desk in the communications room at WHHS. Rodgers said he hopes to continue teaching communications next year in addition to his new responsibilities as athletic director.

Successful season for South Shore Vo-TechViking basketball team ends year in tournament with loss to Cape Cod Academy


The South Shore Vo-Tech boys basketball team had a tough draw playing second-seeded Cape Cod Academy in the first round of the MIAA tournament last Wednesday, but their 59-41 loss on the Cape didn’t put a damper on what was an impressive season for the rebuilding Vikings.

The Vikings came into the season with three returning players and five freshmen on their varsity roster, but they were able to qualify for the

tournament with a .500 record and give Cape Cod a challenge in the first round. The Vikings kept the game close for most of the first half and trailed by eight points at the break, but Cape Cod pulled away in the third quarter and South Shore couldn’t keep pace.

“We played OK for the first half, but the third quarter just got away from us,” head coach Scott Gilmartin said. “For such a young team, it was a tough draw, but it wasn’t anything we couldn’t handle.”

Junior captain Sam Clark scored 21 points for the Vi-kings, while freshman point guard Joe Draicchio also had a good game. Dracchio, along with Rick Blake and Cory Fitzgerald, all saw significant

minutes as freshmen this sea-son.

“We had five freshmen dress for the game and three got some quality playing time,” Glimartin said. “Hav-ing the freshmen play as much basketball as they did this year is definitely going to help us in the long run.”

Draicchio, Blake and Fitzgerald were all part of the youth movement of the Vi-king team, which returned just Clark, senior captain Mike Murphy and senior bench player Tom Doyle from their 2010 team. Murphy and Doyle were the team’s only seniors this season.

“Mike is an all-around solid player,” Gilmartin said. “Tom was our spark plug off

the bench, and we’re going to miss them both.”

In addition to Clark and the five freshmen, Gilmartin will also have sophomores Kevin Stafford and Mike Flynn back next season, along with big center JJ Harty, which has him excited about the future of the

Vikings’ program and their prospects for a return to the tournament next year.

“We had a lot of new per-sonnel this season, and they got to play quite a bit,” he said. “It was a pretty success-ful year, and we should have a good core varsity group.”

Wrestlers wrap up banner yearSenior captain Cavender closes successful season for Panthers at NE Championships


Derek Cavender was the last Panther standing from the Patriot League champions this season, and he brought the sea-son to a close this weekend at the New England Interscholas-tic Wrestling Championships in New Haven, Conn.

Cavender lost both his matches in the 152-pound bracket but made a strong showing of himself against eventual third place finisher Christopher Chorzepa in his first match and Jake O’Dell in his second match, where he lost by a single point, 4-3.

“Derek was coming back in the third period and really pushing [O’Dell],” head coach Shawn Kain said. “To wrestle that well against a kid of that caliber was really good. He wrestled tough.”

Cavender advanced into the New England Champion-ships after placing sixth at the All State wrestling champion-ships the week before. Fellow senior captain Chris Kellum also made a strong showing in the 160 bracket, where he finished in the top eight after taking second in the Division II championships.

“Chris and Derek were both outstanding for us this year,” said Kain, who also gave credit to senior captains Tom Condon and Alex Perry for their work leading the team to a league championship. “Tom Condon and Alex Perry were great for our program, they were very consistent with the high standards we set both academically and in the locker room.”

Fellow senior Pat Johnson also turned in a strong season for the Panthers, as did Joe Petersen. Petersen had the un-

fortunate luck of being in the same weight classes as both Cavender and Kellum, and as a result he did not see much varsity action. But Petersen advanced to the finals of the Patriot League Tournament early in the season, where he lost to Cavender, and came up with a big pin against Hing-ham that helped the Panthers clinch the league banner.

“Without that pin, I don’t know if we would have won that meet,” Kain said. “On any other team, Joe Petersen is an exceptional wrestler and a varsity starter. Throughout

the season, he had exceptional dual meet matches.”

While the team will lose the five seniors, Kain will have plenty of talented wres-tlers returning next season. Both sophomore Jeff Bechen and junior Colin McSweeney are coming off strong sea-sons, as is sophomore Brody DeMinico and freshman Ste-phen Stephansky. Junior Greg McGrath also finished the sea-son strong, and will be return-ing next season.

“We’re losing the upper-classmen, but there is still a lot of potential,” Kain said.

Derek Cavender tosses an opponent to the mat during a tourna-ment earlier this winter. Cavender advanced to the New england Championships last weekend after placing sixth at all States at 152 pounds.

Sam Mewis of Whitman-Hanson Regional High School was named the 2010-11 Gato-rade Massachusetts Girls Soc-cer Player of the Year on Feb. 11. Mewis is the first Gatorade Massachusetts Girls Soccer Player of the Year to be cho-sen from Whitman-Hanson Regional High School.

The award, which recog-nizes not only outstanding athletic excellence but also high standards of academic achievement and exemplary character demonstrated on and off the field, distinguish-es Mewis as Massachusetts’ best high school girls soccer player. Now a finalist for the prestigious Gatorade Nation-al Girls Soccer Player of the Year award to be announced in May, Mewis joins an elite alumni association of past state award-winners in 12 sports, including Abby Wambach

(1997-98, Our Lady of Mercy, N.Y.), Derek Jeter (1991-92, Kalamazoo HS, Mich.), Can-dace Parker (2001-02, Naper-ville Central HS, Ill.), Kevin Garnett (1992-93, Maudlin HS, S.C.), Alexi Lalas (1987-88, Cranbrook HS, Mich.), Heather O’Reilly (2001-02, East Brunswick HS, N.J.) and Mark Sanchez (2004-05, Mis-sion Viejo HS, Calif.).

The Whitman-Hanson/Pembroke girls hockey team neutralized Fontbonne Acad-emy’s top scorers for most of their first-round playoff game, but the Ducks just had too many weapons for WHP.

Freshman Shannon McIsaac scored twice in the first period for the Ducks, who eliminated WHP with a 4-0 win at the Shea Ice Arena in Quincy on Thursday.

“It was a great game, and they should hold their heads up high,” head coach Joe Coulter said of his team. “They gave 100 percent effort; we just fell a little short.”

WHP was determined not to let Fontbonne’s senior captain Taylor Shepherd beat them, and Krystal Barnard marked her for most of the game. Even with Shepherd out of the action, the Ducks peppered WHP goalie Kelly Travers with shots but couldn’t break through until McIsaac got open in front of the net and slid the puck under Travers at the 5:13 mark. McIsaac found

another crack in the WHP de-fense minutes later and put the Ducks up 2-0 on a similar goal after taking a feed from the face-off circle at the corner of the net.

“They’re a very talented team,” Coulter said. “Krystal did a great job shutting [Shep-herd] down. We were able to control her, but they pulled some surprises on us. One of these days, we’re going to get them.”

WHP started the second period short-handed, and Erin McLoughlin took advantage with a power-play goal in the first minute to make it 3-0 Ducks. Shepherd added one of her own with a quick shot off a faceoff with 4:30 left to play in the second period to round out the scoring.

Coulter also gave credit to his goalie for keeping WHP in the game. Travers made 44 saves in the game to keep the score close.

“She played a great game,” he said. “She made some saves out there that [Bruins goalie Tuuka] Rask is still looking at and dreams about. She’s been the anchor of the team all sea-son. She’s a great goalie, she has great mechanics and she’s a good kid.”

While Fontbonne out-shot WHP, they did have their chances at the other end of the ice. Fontbonne goalie Lan Crofton stopped one-on-one shots by Jane Morrisette, Alex Davis and Jackie Sullivan in the first and second periods, and she denied Barnard and Kristy Kennedy in the third.

Seniors Kennedy, Davis, Travers, Barnard and Tricia Stacy all played their final game for WHP and are the last remaining players from the inaugural WHP team of

2007-08. Coulter said all five players will be missed and made a lasting impact on the program.

“They’re part of history and there is a lot of emotion [in the locker room] right now,” he said. “They are clos-ing a chapter right now, but they’re moving on to college and opening another chapter. They’ve been here since day one, and they’ve been great team leaders.”

While it was a sad farewell for the seniors, Coulter is also

excited about the future of the program. Kelsey Murray was the only junior who dressed for WHP this season, and the team will also return with five underclassmen next year.

“We had the kid line out there at the start of the third period,” he said. “We had Jane Morrisette at center, So-phie [Nogueira] on one wing and Michaela [McIssac] on the other wing, and they’re all freshmen. It’s a lot of fun to watch and they’re going to be very interesting next year.”
