A Whitman police officer and fire-fighter were honored Tuesday night for their efforts in rescuing the passenger of a fiery vehicle crash that occurred last Oc-tober in Whitman Center.

Whitman Police Sgt. Andrew Stafford, who was recognized along with Whitman Firefighter/Paramed-ic Scott Nascarella, called the town com-mendations “bitter-sweet” because while they were able to save one person, the driver of the vehicle, Sean Bowman, 28, of Han-son, was killed in the crash.

“There’s still a tragic loss of life,” Stafford said after re-ceiving a commenda-tion for meritorious service at the select-men’s meeting. “My

thoughts are with the Bowman family.”The accident occurred around 6:20

a.m. on Oct. 15 when Bowman lost con-trol of his minivan and crashed into a building at 80 Temple St. It is believed that corrosion may have rusted the rear axle from the inside out, causing it to break and leading to the crash. Bowman’s wife, Justine, received a recall notice just a week after the crash for their 2001 Ford

Windstar related to possible axle corro-sion in the vehicles.

On the morning of Oct. 15, the mini-van Bowman was driving crashed into the building and began to smoke, then caught fire.

Stafford was one of the first on the scene and quickly took action.

“Sgt. Andrew Stafford arrived on the

scene and without regard to his personal safety immediately began fighting the fire with a fire extinguisher in an effort to pre-vent the flames from reaching the female passenger in the front seat,” Selectman Carl Kowalski said, reading the com-mendation certificate. “Also on the scene

With about a month left to pull nomi-nation papers, at least one Whitman race is heating up, with four people vying for two seats on the Board of Selectmen.

Ellis Avenue resident Scott Lambi-ase announced last week his plans to run for selectman. Lambiase works in the Department of Inspectional Services for the town of Duxbury and also serves part time as an auxiliary officer in Whitman and Duxbury. He has lived in town for about 11 years.

Lambiase joins newcomer Lisa Green and current selectmen Carl Kowalski and Christine Walker in the race.

Lambiase said he hoped to draw from his experience working in the town of Duxbury to help out in his own com-munity.

“I love Whitman, so I just wanted to try and help out here,” he said.

In Duxbury, Lambiase has served on several building committees and as the town’s project manager for several proj-ects. He also is the town’s state-certified procurement officer.

“We’ve spent a lot of time in the past few years trying to find ways to cut our budgets and maintain our level of ser-vice [in Duxbury],” Lambiase said. “Ul-timately our goal is to keep a high level of service to keep the town attractive to people who are here and to people who may want to move here.”

Lambiase said he felt Whitman’s town administrator and selectmen had done a good job of offering quality ser-vices during tough times and that he

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.

were Fire Lt. Alfred Cunning-ham and Firefighter/Paramed-ic Scott Nascarella, who at great risk to his own personal safety entered the still burning vehicle to assist the victims of the crash.”

Others who arrived on scene to assist that morning included firefighter/paramed-ics Scott Figgins, Nicholas Grasso, Andrew McGillivray and James McGuiness and po-lice officers William Balonis and John Cormier.

Using the Jaws of Life, the responders were able to rescue the female passenger, Colleen Currie, 29, of Whitman, and transported her to Brockton Hospital where she was treat-ed for severe injuries.

“Were it not for the heroic actions of Sgt. Stafford and Firefighter/Paramedic Nas-carella, there would likely have been no survivors in this trag-ic accident,” Kowalski read. “The actions of Sgt. Stafford and Firefighter/Paramedic Na-scarella are in keeping with the highest traditions of public ser-vice and bring honor to them-selves and their departments in the town of Whitman.”

Kowalski said letters of commendation would be sent to Fire Chief Tim Grenno and Police Chief Christine May-Stafford recognizing all those who participated in the res-cue.

“We’re blessed to have

excellent public safety depart-ments in the town of Whitman, and we’ve long been proud of their service,” Kowalski said. “Although we are honoring the heroic deeds of a number of men from the Fire Depart-ment and Police Department this evening, we must also at this time remember the Bow-man and Currie families in their continued time of loss

and need.”Several members of both

departments attended the pre-sentation Tuesday night, along with members of their fami-lies.

“It was a tough call, but unfortunately those are the calls we do, and we did what we had to do,” Nascarella said after the presentation. “Every-one pulled together.”

Whitman Police log Stolen jewelry identified

An East Bridgewater couple is facing more larceny charges after victims of house break-ins — including one in Whitman — identified pieces of stolen jewelry found during a police search.

Patrick J. Lydon, 36, of Natalie Drive, East Bridgewater is facing three charges of receiv-ing stolen property under $250 and his wife, Kelly Lydon, 31, of the same address is facing one charge of receiving stolen property under $250.

On Wednesday, Feb. 9, police recov-ered thousands of dollars in goods, including Nikon cameras, jewelry, cash and laptop com-puters, at the Lydons’ home. Patrick Lydon was reportedly a suspect in several breaking and entering cases in Whitman and surround-ing towns. A search warrant for his home was activated under the lead of WEB task force in-vestigator Sergeant Detective Tim Hanlon of Whitman.

Recently, a Whitman resident whose Davis Street home was broken into on Nov. 24 iden-tified pieces of jewelry taken from the Lydons’ home as having been stolen in the break-in, Whitman Police Chief Christine May-Stafford said.

An Abington resident also identified jew-elry items taken in a Jan. 21 break-in at his home, May-Stafford said.

FAA eyes Whitman airspace

Whitman Police Chief Christine May-Stafford received an interesting call Tuesday — from the Federal Aviation Administration. A no-fly zone was in place throughout the area because President Barack Obama was in Boston, but FAA officials had observed a small plane on their radar. The plane, which had taken off from Mansfield, suddenly dis-appeared from the radar some-where over Whitman, thus the call to local police.

“Apparently the pilot had turned off his responder, and they had lost him on the radar over Whitman. That’s why they contacted us,” May-Stafford said. “They were able to verify that he did in fact return to the airport Mansfield.

May-Stafford said she was not sure whether the pilot had been charged in the incident.

Speeding stop leads to drug charges

A Whitman man is facing drug charges af-ter police reportedly found cocaine and heroin in his vehicle during a speeding stop.

A police officer patrolling Whitman Center around 11:30 p.m. Tuesday, March 1 reportedly recorded a vehicle going 40 miles per hour in a 25 mph zone on Temple Street and pulled it over. After stopping the vehicle, officers observed passengers in the front and back seat ducking down out of sight. The occupants were told to exit the vehicle, and a female passenger in the front seat admitted to having an active warrant, Police Chief Christine May-Stafford said.

When a male passenger exited the back seat, officers observed three small plastic bag-gies containing what appeared to be rock co-caine on the floor of the vehicle. Upon search-ing the vehicle, they found another small bag, May-Stafford said. Police also found a loaded hypodermic needle containing what appeared to be heroin near the front driver seat and an-other small plastic bag containing powdered cocaine in the driver’s wallet.

The driver, Robert E. Clay, 24, of South Avenue was charged with possession of a Class A drug, possession of a Class B drug and cit-ed for speeding in violation of special regula-tion (the 25 mph zone). One passenger, Keith J. Ingles, 28, of North Main Street, Brockton, was arrested and charged with possession of a Class B drug. Passenger Lisa M. Allsopp, 34, of Washington Street, Norwell was arrested on a default warrant.

All three were released shortly after and arraigned Wednesday in Brockton District Court.

Essex Street home broken into

Whitman police are investigating a house break-in that occurred early last week on Essex Street.

Officers responded to the residence around 4:35 p.m. on Monday, Feb. 28 af-ter the homeowner reported coming home from work to find her home broken into, ac-cording to Whitman Police Chief Christine May-Stafford. It appeared the suspect(s) had forced entry through a rear door.

The homeowner reported several elec-tronics and jewelry items had been stolen, according to May-Stafford. The Plymouth County Sheriff’s Department BCI unit was called to process the scene for fingerprints and evidence.

The incident remains under investiga-tion.

Residents are urged to call police to re-port any suspicious activity, May-Stafford said, as there have been several homes bro-ken into throughout town in recent months.

Residents report possible veterans group scam

Whitman police have received several reports over the past week from residents concerned about phone calls from a group claiming to be collecting donations to send care packages to soldiers overseas.

“At this point, we haven’t been able to verify this veterans group, so we do believe it’s a scam,” Whitman Police Chief Chris-tine May-Stafford said.

Abington police also have reported the calls but have not been able to identify the group, May-Stafford said.

She said Whitman Veterans Agent Gerry Eaton has been advised of the issue.

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.

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.

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

Join the fun

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.

“My concerns as a hom-eowner, like anybody else’s concerns, are that we be able to maintain the services with-out raising taxes any more than absolutely necessary,” he said. “The delicate balance is to try to cut costs and save money without hurting the people that work for the town and with-out jeopardizing any of those services that attracted me and many others to the town.”

The Duval School is giving back to the community. Re-

cently, the students collected 400 pounds of food during the school day to be donated to the Whitman food pantry. As a re-sult of the Monster Mash and the Sweetheart Dance, the PTO

gave a check for $500 to the food pan-try along with food items. Thank you to all of the peo-ple who made this effort a

huge success.A group of second graders

at the Duval School are bring-ing smiles to the faces of some of the soldiers stationed in Af-ghanistan. Barbara Hobart’s second grade class is learning how to write a letter. As they develop this skill, they are writing letters to the soldiers. Mrs. Hobart, along with a par-ent volunteer, created a way to incorporate this random act of kindness into the curriculum. The students not only learn the mechanics of writing but also learn the impact their writing can have on someone else.

The reading teachers from all four of the elementary schools have been collaborat-ing on a parent education eve-ning. Parents and students are invited to attend the event on March 10 at 5:45 p.m. Pizza will be served at the beginning of the evening in the Courtyard Café. The rest of the evening will be broken up into smaller segments. Topics will include online resources available to students, tips for helping stu-dents with homework and how to encourage the reading of non-fiction. Students are wel-

come in all of the sessions or they may attend the YMCA childcare. It promises to be a worthwhile evening for all who attend.

Kindergarten registration has taken place. All students entering kindergarten in the fall should be registered now. Please contact the school if you have not had the oppor-tunity to register your student yet. In addition, if your child attended a private kindergar-ten but will be joining us in the fall for first grade, please call the school so we may help you set up an appointment for reg-istration. It is critical that we have an accurate enrollment count as we begin to make plans for next year. If you have any questions, please give us a call at the school.

Kindergarten, as you know, provides a strong foun-dation for a child’s education. In addition to our half-day pro-gram, the Whitman-Hanson Regional School District also offers full-day kindergarten. Both our half-day and full-day programs provide a safe and nurturing environment while promoting the social, emotional and academic de-velopment of young children. Students enrolled in our full-day program attend school from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. result-ing in increased opportunities for social skills development. Our full-day program also pro-vides opportunities for extend-ing learning experiences and curriculum enrichment with better flexibility to meet stu-

dents’ individual needs. There must be at least 18 students in order for the program to run. Currently, at Duval, we have one complete full-day kinder-garten class and a second class may be formed. Please call us for more information about registering your child should you feel the full-day program meets your families’ needs and would be beneficial to your child’s development.

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.

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.”
