Taking care of business
Highway Dept. pulls long hours trying to clear streets of snow
By Becca Manning, Express Staff

While winter snowstorms
may give some Whitman resi-
dents time off, allowing them
to stay home because of can-
celed school, work or activi-
ties, a storm only means one
thing for Whitman Highway
Department workers: Time to
get moving.
With work beginning even
before the first snowflake falls,
storms require town employ-
ees and many contractors to
pull long hours trying to keep
on top of the snow and ice and
to  make Whitman roads as
safe as possible.
Even before this week’s
set of storms arrived, this win-
ter was shaping up to be one
of the toughest in recent his-
tory in terms of snow accumu-
lation.

Early state plan protects local
aid, but much yet to be done
By Becca Manning, Express Staff
editor@whitmanexpress.com
Whitman-Hanson’s three
state legislators stopped by
to share less than sunny news
from the Statehouse during a
school budget breakfast held
Saturday morning at the high
school.
School Superintendent
Ruth Gilbert-Whitner said the
meeting was essentially “open-
ing day” for the fiscal year 2012
budget discussion and that —
as with the governor’s budget
released last week — the num-
bers would probably change
over the next several months.
For some time, officials
have been cautioning that
FY2012 would be among the
toughest in recent history, and
on Saturday, legislators con-
firmed that.

it —  fiscal year 2012 will be

Along with town vehicles, Whitman hires about 16 contractors with various equipment to help clear
roadways during a snowstorm. Above, a worker helps remove snow from Whitman Center around 10

Storms keep town busy
continued from page one
expected this week, the Whit-
man Highway Department
had spent $171,355 for snow
and ice removal, including la-
bor, salt and sand, repairs and
equipment — about $52,000
over the $120,000 budget ap-
proved at the 2010 Town Meet-
ing, according to Martin.
He said the most expensive
storm as of Friday had been the
Jan. 12 event, which dropped
about 15 inches of heavy, wet
snow on the town. Whitman
selectmen declared a state
of emergency in that storm,
which makes the town eligible
for federal or state assistance.
In a typical storm, town
employees are on alert for the
start of inclement weather, do-
ing all they can to have every-
thing ready to go once things
get really bad.
“Generally if it’s in the
middle of the night, we rely on
our local police department to
give us a call when the snow
starts, just a dusting,” Martin
said. “We call in a crew of
four sanders, and they deploy
around town to pre-treat the
roads. If it’s a snowstorm we
know is going to accumulate to
more than three to four inches,
once it starts to build up on the
roads, then we call in employ-
ees and private contractors and
start the plowing process. Ev-
erybody has a route.”
Along with many pieces
of town equipment, including
backhoes, front-end loaders,
dump trucks and plows, Whit-
man uses about 16 private con-
tractors to help clear the roads
and parking lots.
“The way the storm usual-
ly goes is we’ll scrape it down
as long as it takes until the
snow has stopped and we’ve
got everything pushed back
as far as we can,” Martin said.
“At the end of the storm, we’ll
deploy the sanders and sand
everything again.”
The process is labor-inten-
sive and means long hours for
all involved.
“In the last storm [on Jan.
26], we had pre-sanded and
then the workers went home

Man charged with OUI
after crashing into garage
A Hanson man is facing OUI and other charges
after he crashed his truck into a garage on Lazel
Street early Sunday morning, then landed in a snow
bank when he tried to back out.
Police dispatch received a call around 3 a.m. Sun-
day, Jan. 30 from a resident who said there was a man
who appeared to be intoxicated causing a disturbance
in a pickup truck outside a home on Lazel Street. As a
cruiser arrived to search the area, a second call came
in reporting that a male party was trying to break into
a garage on the same street.
Upon arrival, the officer observed a pickup truck
that had backed into a snowbank and got stuck. The
operator was still in the driver’s seat and revving the
engine, trying to get the truck out, but the wheels
were just spinning. The officer approached the vehi-
cle and ordered the driver several times to shut off the
engine, but the driver continued to rev the engine and
at one point allegedly turned the wheel toward the of-
ficer, Whitman Police Chief Christine May-Stafford
said. The man finally turned off the engine, and the
officer approached, noting the smell of alcohol on the
driver’s breath.
The driver, Stephen J. Kemmett, 22, of Bay State
Circle, Hanson, reportedly blew a .23 on the breatha-
lyzer test, May-Stafford said.
Kemmett was arrested and charged with operating
under the influence, negligent operation of a motor
vehicle, malicious destruction of property over $250
and assault with a dangerous weapon (for attempting
to drive the vehicle in the officer’s direction).
Kemmett was released later that day and arraigned
Monday in Brockton District Court.

Do you need assistance? –––––––––––––––––
If you know of a senior or infirm person
who may need assistance during emergencies,
please contact Mary Collins at the Hanson Se-
nior Center, 781-293-2683, ext. 7.
The Hanson Senior Center maintains a list
of persons who may be seniors, elderly, infirm,
homebound and/or frail to help the town provide
assistance to them during various emergencies,
including snowstorms. This information be-
comes crucial during power outages, where the
need to have back-up or emergency electricity

or other medical needs (such as oxygen).
As a result of this season’s storms, and in

To request exclusion from mosquito control
The Plymouth County Mosquito Control
Project understands that there may be some in-
dividuals who want to have their property le-
gally excluded from the pesticide applications
used in mosquito control. As a result, the Proj-
ect would like to inform those individuals of
the steps necessary to make such a request, as
specified by Massachusetts Department of Ag-
ricultural Resources regulations.
Such application is made by a person living
on, or legally in control of said property.
The application must be sent in the form of
a certified letter to the municipal clerk’s office
by March 1st (annually).
The letter must include the name, address,
and telephone number of the person making the
request.
The letter must include the address of the
property to be excluded.
The letter should include a description of
the types of pesticide application programs for
which exclusion is requested.
Free home energy audit
For information about a free home en-
ergy audit residents should e-mail Green

sachusetts Climate Action Network is work-
ing hand in hand with several organizations
in 2011 to encourage residents all around the
state to get their homes checked for energy
efficiency and conservation, and to follow
suggestions of the assessors to get quick en-
ergy savings. In addition to saving money
by using less energy, residents will also be
cutting down on carbon emissions. And the
assessment now can include a blower door
test and infrared analysis, two technologies
that greatly improve the assessment’s use-
fulness.

their current contact information we would be
most appreciative.   fective Secretary of Veterans’ Affairs Retired

Additionally, the person requesting the
exclusion has the responsibility to mark the
boundaries or areas to be excluded at least ev-

ly define the area of exclusion. These mark-
ings shall be made known to the Project and the
Project will be responsible for communicating
the details of the markings to the individuals
who will carry out the pesticide applications.
While the application is sent to the munici-

that the role of clerk’s office in this process is
simply to be the recipient of the certified let-

should be directed to the Plymouth County

“Winter will most likely go on for “I think winter will go on for six
six more weeks.” more weeks.”
It’s a matter of trust
F
or a number of years now, the news has been filled
with stories about the people’s dissatisfaction with
government at all levels. At the federal level, the
controversy over healthcare regulation, so-called Obama-care,
is the leading topic of congressional debate. It is among the
primary reasons for the Republican resurgence in the mid-term
elections.
The budget deficit, the administration of the Social Security
Trust Fund and the viability of the Medicare system and illegal
immigration are also topics of great concern
and debate.
At the state level the killing of a Woburn
police officer by a paroled triple-life-sentenced
career criminal was catalyst for the sacking
of nearly the entire parole board and public
outrage and calls for eliminating parole all
By Emery Maddocks together. The unseemly firing of the very ef-
Navy Captain Tom Kelley, a Medal of Honor recipient, to be
replaced by a Democratic Party hack, has sent the veterans
community into paroxysm of rage. Corruption and careerism
in the Legislature, real and perceived, has driven taxpayers to
distraction.
At the state and local level, the inability of state and local
governments to deal with budget issues including public em-
ployee compensation and benefits has fueled more voter resent-
ment. There seems to be no truth in
criminal sentencing, no enforcement Getting real
of existing laws for illegal gun possession, drunk driving, im-
migration issues and so on.
Each of these issues is, in and of itself, serious, but col-
lectively they are really symptomatic of a much more serious
problem for our democracy. People have lost, or are losing all
faith and trust in our government to do the right thing. They
are coming to believe that even when the “government” wants
to do the right thing it lacks the ability to do anything right.
The perception is bad intent coupled with incompetence. The
taxpayers correctly feel put upon. Taxpayers feel they are get-
ting short value for long money. Something must be done to
correct this situation or we feel something sinister may occur.
Widespread distrust of all government leaves us vulnerable
to demagoguery and extreme movements that promise to fix
all problems and restore order in the public sector. History is
replete with stories of the systemic breakdown of formerly
stable governments when they lose the trust and respect of the
governed.
We’ve outlined the symptoms, now what is the cure? How
do our leaders restore the faith of our citizens? There would
appear to be few treatments and only a prognosis for gradual
recovery. First we need and should demand transparency at
every level of government. We must demand that leaders meet
regularly with the media for the hard give and take of real press
conferences. At the state level we need a constitutional amend-
ment to do away with a full time career Legislature and replace
it with what most states have, a part time legislature compen-
sated with stipends and expenses only. We must drive political
careerism out of Beacon Hill. We must demand that judges
enforce the law by further restricting judicial discretion in such
things as enforcing gun laws, making life sentences mean life,
by enacting legislation to put third felony conviction criminals
away for long periods of time, if not life without parole. We
must restore sanity to public employee compensation to save
needed public sector jobs and to put these public servants on an
economic par with their private sector contemporaries.
As in a marriage where there has been infidelity, restora-
tion of faith and trust will take a long period of time and many
discussions. Failure in marriage leads to divorce. Failure in our
relationship with our government could lead to a really messy
divorce that we may all regret. As citizens we can not take a
pass on this. We need to stay informed and engaged or there
will be no improvement. The choice is ours.

Legislators share budget
news at breakfast meeting

accounted for in the regular
budget or be eliminated.
For Whitman-Hanson Re-
gional School District, that in-
cludes three special education
teachers, a speech therapist,
reading and math tutors, all of
which have been added to the
district’s preliminary FY2012
budget presented at the Satur-
day morning meeting.
The preliminary opera-
tional budget, which totals
$46,979,637, would enable the
district to maintain its current
level of service with minimal
cuts, Gilbert-Whitner said. It in-
cludes adding back in $211,619
for teaching positions previ-
ously covered by ARRA funds
as well as adding in money for
the one furlough day that all
union and non-union school
employees agreed to take this
school year to save the district
money in the FY2011 budget.
The budget also incorporates
items previously covered by
other federal or state grants,
such as Jobs Bill funds.
The budget sets aside
funds for contract increases
— teacher contracts are up in
June and the School Commit-
tee is in the early stages of ne-
gotiating a new contract. And
it sets aside money for increas-
es in special education tuition
and transportation costs — the
district also is in the process of
negotiating a new busing con-
tract. Health insurance costs
also are expected to rise by
about 11 percent in FY2012.
In her introduction to the
budget, Gilbert-Whitner called
the FY2012 budget “especially
challenging.”
“For the past two years, the
district has relied heavily on
federal funding as a way to en-

sure that students are provided
with high quality educational
experiences,” she said. “The
Whitman-Hanson Regional
School District budget for the
2011-12 school year is the
product of the thoughtful input
of administrators and directors.
[…] While we are mindful of
fiscal constraints, the FY2012
budget book also proposes
several additional programs
and positions that we believe
are necessary for the education
of our students, some of which
have been funded by federal
stimulus grants.”
Though funding is tight on
all levels, there is some sign
that Chapter 70 state aid to
Whitman and Hanson will not
be cut significantly this year,
legislators said.
“The governor has done
remarkable in his House 1 bud-
get in mitigating severe cuts
on Chapter 70,” Senator Tom
Kennedy said. “The cherry
sheet’s another story for local
towns, but he has promised to
hold back on education, and
he’s come through with that.”

T
he Conley School
celebrated Martin
Luther King Day
with our own second annual
Day of Tolerance. All grades
took part in these activities.
Grades 1-3 participated in
class activities that highlight-
ed multi-diversity through an
art lesson utilizing crayons.
Students drew
pictures with

and then with

were far better. All of those
students’ art work is being fin-
ished and will to be on display
in the halls of the school.
The activities for Grades
4 and 5 explored tolerance a
bit deeper. To start the day,
students watched the critically
acclaimed video The Point!
This video illustrates that in
the land of Point all things had
to be pointed. When Oblio,
the main character in the story,
was born without a point – he
becomes the target for others
until he is banished from the
kingdom for being different.
As they watched the video,
students could see that he was
treated differently and when
Oblio was banished, there was
a general condemnation of the
act. After the film, discus-
sion groups were formed with
teachers and with ten of our
high school Community Ser-
vice Learning students. These
students, under the direction
of Lisa Shea, are actively in-
volved in community learning
projects. Students were asked
to give examples of how toler-
ance is exhibited here. Later
in the day, students in Grades
4 and 5 were treated to skits
done by our own CSL group
on bullying. The skits were
examples of possible bullying
in various places on the bus,
in the bathroom, at recess, in
the class and in the hallway.
The CSL students, who also
wrote and acted in their own
skits, brought forth discussion
points, which all the students

MUSINGS
by JHC
• Trying to solve the country’s
problems with Congressional
oratory is like trying to untangle
a traffic jam by honking the
horn.
• He talked as if he thought the
whistle pulled the train.
• Arthur Balfour said Herbert
Asquith’s clarity was a liability
because he had nothing to say.
• The Antarctic ice cap is the
world’s largest supply of fresh
water.
• It has been said that an imma-
ture artist imitates and that
mature artists steal.
• William White, author of sev-
eral best sellers, was once fired
from the Washington Post “for
incompetence in every depart-
ment of the newspaper.” Jules
Verne was also fired from a
newspaper, as was Franklin P.
Adams. But as F.P. A. put it,
they were fired with ambition.
• Life is like an onion. You peel
if off layer by layer and some-
times you weep.
• Asinine sights: Big league
baseball players blowing bubble
gum.
• Santa Clause has the right
idea: Visit people once a year.
• Reading is sometimes an
ingenious device for avoiding
thought.
• If you are a boss, sometimes
be blind; if an employee, some-
times deaf.
• When Bill O’Dwyer wavered
about running again for the
mayoralty, a rival said: “There’s
one thing about O’Dwyer — you
never have to be in doubt about
him until he makes up his
mind.”
• “A liar’s punishment is that he
is not believed even when he
tells the truth.” The Talmud.
• We’ve all heard the statement
that there are three kinds of lies:
lies, damned lies, and statistics.
But do you know who first said
it? It was Benjamin Disraeli.
• “The secret of staying young is
to live honestly, eat slowly, and
lie about your age.” Lucille Ball
said it.
• Will Rogers was ethical as well
as funny: “I would rather be the
man who bought the Brooklyn
Bridge than the man who sold
it.”
• Money doesn’t start ideas;
ideas start money.

was supposed to tempo run, so no one was running at full
capability. Nevertheless, these kids were faster than me

to the point where, after about two or three minutes, they
were out of my field of vision. At this point, I made a life
decision that, there was no way I was going to catch back
up, I might as well walk. Then, the kids showed up on the
other side of a pond from me and, trying to save what little
face I had left, I ran again until they disappeared and it was
safe to resume my leisurely fitness stroll.
This worked until I came to a fork in the path and
hadn’t seen the kids in so long that I had no idea which
way they went (this was about five minutes into the prac-
tice). Luckily a middle-aged woman was hiking around
and when I asked her if she had seen some kids running,
she replied “Oh yes, they came by a while ago” as vaguely
as you please. All in all, I think I ran/jogged about 40 yards
and walked the rest.
I eventually made it back to Zopatti and spent the rest
of the practice talking to him about what he does for kids
who join the team and are as bad at this as I am and how he
works with them while trying to get his elite runners ready
for their races. He told me stories of kids who couldn’t run
from the high school to the Hobomock Ice Arena around
the corner when they started and are now running full
practices without the slightest hint of the nausea that I was
trying to hold down from my glorified power walk.
My goal was to try to figure out the appeal of cross-
country running, because both towns I cover have teams
that rival if not eclipse the size of the football teams, and
they compete to win championships rather than get in
shape for another sport. The answer to why you would
spend your afternoons running up and down hills, through
forests and swamps is, it would seem pretty simple: so
you can do it again faster. There is a unique sense of ac-
complishment that comes with one day being able to do
something that seems like torture without breaking a sweat
and then adding another challenge to be completed. Add
that to the team aspect of high school sports and it truly is
a unique experience, albeit one I will never try again after
eating at Burger King.

captain Michaela O’Neil
O
’Neill has captained her basketball team to a 5-7 record so far
this season. She shares her thoughts on …
…choosing a college. I’m applying to Sacred Heart Uni-
versity, Quinnipiac University, Springfield College and
Bridgewater State. My top choice is Sacred Heart because I
really like the campus, and it’s two and a half-three hours
away so it’s far enough away, but not too far.
…selecting a major. I’m majoring in athletic training
because I’ve been involved with sports for my entire life
so I just think it’s a field that I won’t lose interest in. I also
like that it’s a career where you get to help people.
…her favorite sport. My favorite sport is definitely
basketball. I’ve been playing since I was little and I like be-
ing part of a team. I feel like I understand the game well,
and I like when the team comes together on a well-executed
play.
…her best sports memory. My best sports memory was
last year during basketball season when we played our last
regular season game against New Bedford. Going into the game,
they were undefeated and we had suffered a pretty bad loss to them
earlier in the season. We realized that we had nothing to lose and
played with a lot of heart and determination. We managed to come
out with a win and put an end to their undefeated record.
…her future goals. I hope to continue playing basketball in
college, whether it’s the actual school team or an intramural team,
and hopefully get a good job maybe working with a professional or
semi-professional sports team.
…her hobbies outside of sports. Hanging out with my friends,
spending time with my family, reading and going to the beach.

The two teams that met for
the 2009 state championship
went at it again on Thursday,
and again, it was Fontbonne
Academy coming out on top
of the Whitman-Hanson/
Pembroke girls hockey team.
However, the girls were able
to end the week on a high note
by pulling out a 2-2 tie at the
Gallo Rink in Bourne against
Sandwich on Saturday after
losing to the Blue Knights ear-
lier in the season.

“Whenever a team goes

coach Joe Coulter said. “The

with the manner they are com-

Coulter was also happy
with his team’s effort in their

are currently ranked fourth in
the state. Jackie Sullivan got
WHP’s goal.
The team had to resched-

Jim Daley
stepping down
Athletic Director to retire in June
By Dave Palana, Sports Editor
dave@hansonexpress.com
Next year, Jim Daley still
plans to be on the sidelines
as the Whitman-Hanson girls
basketball coach, but someone
else will be occupying the cor-
ner office outside the gym.
Daley, who replaced Bob
Bancroft as Whitman-Han-
son’s athletic director in 2005,
said he will be retiring from
the position at the end of the
school year in June.
Daley said he made his re-
tirement plans official earlier
in the school year once it had
been finalized by the retire-
ment board.
“It’s been a very good ride,
but it’s exhausting when it’s
done right and, to be honest,
I’m tired,” Daley said.
Daley took over the job
as the Panthers moved into
the new high school gymna-
sium and the new Dennis M.
O’Brien field, and the school
has added boys and girls varsi-
ty lacrosse and girls ice hockey
teams under his tenure.
Looking back on his time
on the job, Daley said institut-
ing the athletic academy for
incoming students and switch-
ing Whitman-Hanson from
the Atlantic Coast League to
the Patriot League are two of
the things of which he is most
proud.
“It has been a wonderful
change for us,” Daley said of
the move to the Patriot League.
“It’s been a blessing to have all
our old rivals back, and with
gas prices going up, it’s nice to
be close. The athletic academy
has been great and, of course,
making sure everything was
ready for the 100th anniver-
sary of the Thanksgiving game
this year.”
However, Daley said he
regrets the fact that the ath-
letic fees had to go up during
his time as A.D. due to the
school’s budget constraints in
recent years.
“It really bothers me that
they have gone up quite a bit,”
he said. “We did things like
the Panther Service Program
[to help families with the fees]
and I’m very, very cognizant
of how much it costs and I feel
very, very bad about that.”
Daley said he met with the
applicants for the athletic di-
rector job and will meet again
with his eventual replacement Junior
after Whitman-Hanson prin-
cipal Jeff Szymaniak and the MacKenzie
search committee finalizes
their selection. He added that Hatfield

classroom.
“I don’t want to just re-
tire,” he said. “I really enjoyed
teaching history, and I’d like
to do again in some capacity. I
like to say that I’m not retiring,
I’m redirecting.”
