placed in the top 10 of their
category and nine placed in
the top three.
WHRHS juniors Domenic
Cacciatore and Chris Todd and
sophomore Victoria Consolini
are among those students who
placed in the top three of their
category and are eligible to
move on to the DECA State
Conference.
They each had similar rea-
sons for joining DECA, one
being that participation looks
very good on college applica-
tions and it was something else
that could be added to their re-
sumés.
“DECA is easy to join and
it’s a free opportunity to do
something that will build your
resumé,” Cacciatore said.
Aside from college ap-
plications, these students also
joined because they were in-
terested in becoming involved.
Many, like Todd, had heard
good things about DECA,
while others were attracted by
their interest in business.
“I want to go into a career
in business, so DECA is some-
thing I wanted to be apart of,”
Victoria Consolini said.
During the conference, stu-
dents were scattered through-
out 15 business categories.
Cacciatore chose the Princi-
ples of Business Management
category, and both Todd and
Consolini chose the Principles
of Hospitality and Tourism
category.
The three DECA members
described their role-plays as
interviews for an internship
based on their category.
“My role play was an in-
terview for an internship at
a hotel,” Victoria Consolini
said. “I was given a sample
hotel and asked to explain how
I would improve employee/
customer relations.”
In his category, Cacciatore
placed first and earned three
medals; Consolini earned two
medals and placed second
in her category followed by
Todd who placed third in the

Shiny new ambulance hits Whitman streets
By Meaghan Glassett, Express Staff
Meaghan@whitmanexpress.com
Whitman Fire/Rescue has
received its new 2010 Lifeline
ambulance. The ambulance
was designed for Whitman
Fire by Specialty Vehicles in
North Attleboro.
The F450 super-duty chas-
sis model is Whitman’s first-
ever four-wheel drive ambu-
lance. Whitman Fire/Rescue
replaces their frontline am-
bulance every five years. The
2005 ambulance will be used
as Ambulance No. 2. The de-
partment will also have a third
ambulance (a 2000 model),
which will be in service if
needed or if staffing permits.
Whitman Fire Chief Tim
Grenno said the station will be
fully staffed with five firefight-
ers at all times.
Grenno said that, if there is
a medical call, two firefighters
are able to go out in the front-
line ambulance. In the case of
a second call, he said that two

equipment, sliding drawers,
IVs, catheters and medication.
The cardiac monitor is also
locked down and is unable to
move,” Grenno added. “The
ambulance will be more com-
fortable and quiet for patients
because of the new suspension
system. The department has
also purchased all new modern
day equipment to go with the
ambulance.”
The paramedics all agree
the truck is an improvement,
Grenno said.
The purchase of the am-
bulance was approved at the

footing the bill for the ambu-
lance,” Grenno said. “We are
not self-supported, but we are
able to keep a professional
and well-equipped department
with the use of funds from the
ambulance account.”
Grenno added that spend-
ing funds from the ambulance
account still has to be approved
by Town Meeting.
Since the ’80s, Grenno
said all capital improvements
have been paid for through the
ambulance account.
He said that the Finance
Committee has also set up a
vehicle replacement plan for
all town departments.
“[The ambulance account]
is not a piggy bank,” he said.
“We run a tight and stringent
budget. All purchases are made
for needs not for luxury.”
fighters respond in the second
ambulance leaving one fire-
fighter at the station to call for
off-duty firefighters to come to
the station for coverage.
As recently as last week,
Grenno said there were two
medical calls and a report of
smoke in a home simultane-
ously. Grenno said the one
firefighter left at the station
after the two medical calls re-
called off-duty firefighters, but
no one was available. Grenno
said that the remaining fire-
fighter had to leave the station
and take the fire truck to the
incident on his own.
Grenno added that it is un-
fortunate that staffing levels at
the fire station haven’t changed
since 1965.
In 1973, the department
purchased its first ambulance.
That year the Fire Department
had 461 emergency runs. In
the mid ’90s, the department
purchased a second ambu-
lance to add to the fleet. That
year, Grenno said the number
of runs totaled 1,474.
In 2010, the total of emer-
gency runs totaled 2,910 about
four times the amount when
the department received its
first ambulance. Also in 2010,
the department responded to
623 overlapping incidents,
which averages out to about
two a day, Grenno said.
“We’re at the breaking
point around here. We are
able to handle everything we
possibly can with the staffing
levels, but it is like a ticking
bomb,” he said.
During last Wednesday’s
snowstorm, Grenno said the
department went out on 91
calls.
“The new ambulance
proved its weight in gold

in the storm,” Grenno said.
“With the heavy/wet snow, the
Department of Public Works
was having trouble keeping
up with the roads, but with the
four-wheel drive ambulance
we were more mobile around
town. The new ambulance was
able to shuttle residents who
lost power to the shelter that
opened at the high school.”
During a blizzard in De-
cember, Grenno said the 2005
ambulance got stuck in the
snow several times.
“The new ambulance was
able to cut through everything
during the recent storm,” he
said.
Grenno said the ambu-
lance is more durable than the
previous ambulance. It is also
more modern with an upgrad-
ed HVAC system, better light-
ing and better technology.

ambulance cost $135,000.
Grenno said the cost differ-

The 2010 ambulance is
up to federal and state codes.
Some of the new standards
include compartmentalizing
equipment.

The Whitman-Hanson
Education Foundation will
hold an adult spelling bee to
raise money for the Whitman-
Hanson Regional School Dis-
trict. The spelling bee will
take place on Thursday, March
31 from 6-9:30 p.m. at the
high school’s Performing Arts
Center. Participants will form
teams of 3-8 members. The
deadline to sign up a team for
the spelling bee is March 16.
The cost for entry is $150 and
is tax deductible. Proceeds
will benefit WHEF and the
school district.
Whitman-Hanson Edu-
cation Foundation President
Laura Kemmett had some
words of encouragement for
those who may not be entire-
ly confident in their spelling
skills.
“You don’t need to feel
like you’re alone out there.
It’s about the whole team ––
it’s not an individual compe-
tition. You huddle with your
team and you all decide the
best way to spell the word to-
gether,” Kemmett said.
“The spelling bee is fun.
It’s not a massive intellectual
undertaking,” she added.
School Committee Chair-
man Robert Hayes, Emcee of
the upcoming spelling bee,
agreed.
“Get involved. Come on
down and have some fun.
Spelling skills are secondary
to the camaraderie and the
competition,” Hayes said.
Anyone may form a team
and anyone may be on a team.
Teams can consist of friends,
co-workers, churchgoers or
almost any other kind of as-
sociation.
“Teams will be broken
into groups of teams called
swarms.  Each team in the

junior black belt in the 16-year
history of American Kempo Ka-
rate Academy. Dylan, 13, son of
Denis and Donna O’Connell of
Hanson and an eighth-grader at
Holy Family School in Rock-
land, was promoted at the karate
school’s most recent advanced-
rank examination.
“Dylan is one of the assis-
tant instructors in Hanson and
is a tremendous inspiration to
the other junior students,” said
Mark DiNino, who founded
the school in 1995. DiNino ex-
plained that students are usually
in the school’s adult division
by the time they achieve third-
degree black belt.
We never had a need for
higher levels until now, he said,

noting that Dylan learned ad-
ditional adult-level material to
achieve his current rank.  He
had to take six hours of special
preparation classes in addition
to his regular training for this
test. All the school’s tests for
advanced rank – brown belt or
higher – consist of extra prepa-
ration classes before a gruel-
ing four-hour test consisting of
calisthenics, stretching and an
examination on the proper ex-
ecution of all previously learned
martial arts material, plus spar-
ring and grappling.
Dylan began his training at
age 4. While he has played such
sports as baseball and basketball,

Diehl receives committee assignments –––––––
S
aying he is ready to get to work, Rep-
resentative Geoff Diehl announced
the committees he will be serving on
for the 2011-2012 legislative session.
The Whitman Republican was appointed to
three committees including: the House Com-
mittee on Ways and Means, the House Com-
mittee on Personnel and Administration and the
House Committee on Rules.
“I couldn’t be more pleased with my com-
mittee assignments,” said Representative Diehl.
“I am particularly proud to have been selected
to serve on the Ways and Means Committee.
This budget cycle is going to be challenging
and I look forward to playing a significant role
in crafting the House budget. The House Ways
and Means Committee needs all the fiscal con-
servatives they can get, and I am happy to fill
that role.”

of the Massachusetts House of Representatives
and represents the people of the 7th Plymouth
District. He defeated a Democratic incumbent

islators are not appointed to the House Ways

coveted seats due to the fact that virtually all
legislation passes through that body.
“I am so grateful to the people of my district
for putting their trust in me and allowing me the
privilege of serving them,” added Representa-
tive Diehl. “Having Leadership recognize the
commitment I’ve made to restoring account-

Preschool information meeting
The Whitman-Hanson Regional School District will hold
a preschool information meeting on Thursday, Feb. 10. The
meeting is for all Whitman and Hanson parents of children who
will turn three years old on or before Aug. 31. The meeting will
be held at 6:30 p.m. in the Performing Arts Center at the high
school.
The purpose of the meeting is to provide parents with the in-
formation necessary for them to successfully register their child
for preschool at either the Maquan Elementary School in Han-
son or the Conley Elementary School in Whitman. There will be
a brief presentation followed by a question-and-answer period.
Registration packets and an opportunity to select a date and time
to register their child and schedule an appointment for a screen-
ing will be available on-line after the meeting.
Parents may also call their local school to set an appoint-
ment date to register their child and set up an appointment for a
screening. If you know of any parent of a child who will be three
years old on or before Aug. 31, and is interested in enrolling in
the WHRSD Integrated Preschool, please make them aware of
the date and time of the meeting.
The screenings will take place at:
Louise A. Conley School

Cell phones for soldiers
Got a new cell phone for Christmas? Don’t throw your
old one away! Area residents are invited to support the Cell
Phones for Soldiers program by dropping off unused cell
phones to Media Concepts Photo & Video at 79 South Ave.,
Rt. 27 in Whitman. The donated phones are sent to ReCellular,
which pays Cell Phones for Soldiers for each phone, enough to
provide an hour of talk time to soldiers abroad. Approximately
half of the phones are reconditioned and resold to wholesale
companies in over 40 countries around the world. Phones and
components that cannot be refurbished are dismantled and re-
cycled to reclaim materials.
Inclement weather policy
If the Whitman-Hanson Regional School District cancels
school, all senior center activities in Hanson and Whitman will
be cancelled. There will be no Meals-on-Wheels delivered or
lunches served at the senior centers. School closing informa-
tion is broadcast on television channels 4, 5, 7, 10 and 25, the

the community donated jeans

ed by the Haiti earthquake.
Cotter said what she enjoys
most about being on the Stu-
dent Council is that she really
feels the students can do things
to improve their school.
“I’ve learned that if you
put a lot of effort into what
you are doing and help every-
one else around you, it makes
them appreciate what you do
for them,” Cotter said. “If you
try hard and work together
you can make a difference in
someone’s day.”
Whitman Middle School eighth grader Hannah Cotter met with the
governor when she participated in Project 351 on Saturday.
On Saturday, inauguration
events continued with Project
351, an ambitious community
service project that brought
youth from across the Com-
monwealth together for ser-
vice activities. Project 351
followed on the heels of the in-
auguration of Governor Deval
Patrick and Lt. Governor Tim
Murray, which was held on Jan.
6 with a swearing-in ceremony
inside the House Chamber.
 “Optimism and effort are the
keys to our Commonwealth’s
success, and we will bring that
spirit to the Inauguration and
our second term,” Patrick said.
“Our inaugural events will
challenge and motivate resi-
dents to come together, and re-
new our sense of community.”
During her participation
in Project 351, Cotter visited
Cradles to Crayons in Brigh-
ton.
There she was able to assist
with gathering books and toys
for less fortunate children.
At the event, the students
also had a chance to hear a
speech from Patrick.
“He was telling us about

how important it was to par-
ticipate in community service
and to help families that didn’t
have as much,” Cotter said.
“The governor said that
the project was about kids
helping other kids and even
we can make a difference,”
she added.
Following the Youth Town
Hall meeting on Saturday, the
youth ambassadors spread out
across the Boston area to per-
form high-impact service and
mentorship activities, devel-
oped in partnership with nu-
merous service and non-profit
organizations.
Cotter was assigned to
Blackstone Elementary School
in Boston. At the school, she
worked with other students
to create inspirational murals,
bulletin boards and flashcards.
“I wish I got to see the
kids’ faces when they saw the
murals,” Cotter said. “It felt so
good to do something for other
people.”
After the activities were
completed, the youth partici-
pants reunited for a service
celebration where they en-
joyed food and music.

shelter,” he said. “The shelter
is only opened when people
are unable to stay in their own
homes.”
Grenno said there were
never more than 20 people at
the shelter during the course of
the storm.
“We are fortunate to have
a regional school for the shel-
ter,” Thompson said. “The
Whitman CERT teams is also
a great asset to have when we
open the shelter.”
“If we have a state of emergency it is important that resi-
dents call 781-447-7682, the EOS line for storm-related
questions and 911 for any emergencies.”
“[Whitman Fire] shuttled
people from Harvard Court
and Pinehaven Circle to the
shelter at the high school,”
Grenno said. “People don’t
want to go to shelters unless
they have to.”
If Hanson has to transport
residents to the shelter, the Fire
Department has the Council on
Aging van at the station.
The high school is also a
regional shelter, and Grenno
said at one point 162 residents
from Hanover were about to
be transported to the shelter,
but they got their power back.
Both Grenno and Thomp-
son agreed that it is an involved
process to open the shelter;
they have to arrange for food
and even entertainment.
On Wednesday at 5 a.m.
Grenno also called for the
Emergency Operations Center
to be opened. The Emergency
Operations Center is located
on the second floor of the fire
station on Temple Street.
The Emergency Opera-
2EGISTERAND3AVE%NROLLMENT&EE

tions Center is staffed with
two firefighters, office staff,
an administrative assistant and
the CERT team. The EOC does
a lot of the organization and
paperwork during the storm,
Grenno said.


“This way the town is

safe and everything following
the event is documented for
FEMA and MEMA,” he said.
While the EOC is open,
the team is in constant contact
with MEMA, National Grid
and all other town agencies.
“With a department that is
also doing 2,910 calls a year
and has 91 runs in a 16-hour
period, things can get confus-
ing without organizational
skills, which is why we have
the EOC,” Grenno said.
“If we have a state of
emergency it is important that
–– Tim Grenno
residents call 781-447-7682,
the EOS line for storm-relat-
ed questions and 911 for any
emergencies,” Grenno said.
During the storm, we had
14 firefighters working from
5 a.m. to 8 a.m. the following
morning with the crew drop-
ping down to eight.
“We always try to main-
tain a shift with three person-
nel. This sometimes means we
have to call back off-duty fire-
fighters,” he said.
Grenno said the town’s
staffing levels have not
changed since 1965, but the
call numbers have drastically
increased. In 1965, the depart-
ment handled 461 runs and in
2010 the number of calls is
about six times that, at 2,910.
In 2010, Whitman Fire/
Rescue responded to 623 over-
lapping calls, which averages
about two a day.
Thompson said his depart-
ment is run a bit different from
Whitman’s during a storm.
Hanson’s communication cen-
ter is at the police station on
Main Street.
What Thompson said is
crucial during the storm is to
keep the communication open
with other town department
heads including the highway
and water departments.
Photo courtesy of Tim Grenno
Thompson said depending
on the forecast for the storm,
he has six to eight firefighters
working.
He said during a storm it
is important to have enough
firefighters at the station to
respond to calls because call-
ing in off-duty firefighters is
difficult. They have to be able
to clean off their cars and get
to the station in their vehicles
when the roads might be bad.
“You can’t count on people
getting back to the station in a
timely manner,” he added.
Thompson said on an av-
erage day he has to have three
firefighters to comply with his
waiver and two must be para-
medics.
During the storm, Hanson
Fire responded to 45 calls,
which is about four times
the calls on an average day.
Thompson said the department
has spent $4,500 for storm
coverage.
The Hanson Fire Depart-
ment asks that residents shov-
el out fire hydrants near their
homes to save time in the case
of an emergency. The Hanson
Fire Department does work
with the highway department
to shovel out the hydrants,
but this is done with on-duty
personnel on a limited budget.
Also, kids are asked not to
build forts near the road due to
safety concerns.

School
School re-
cently completed a unit on
career awareness. This unit
is part of the comprehensive
guidance curriculum taught by
school counselor Kate Salas.
Students spent several days
in their interactive geography
classes exploring interests,
learning about budgeting and
identifying careers that would
meet their anticipated expecta-
tions. A culminating activity
included working collabora-
tively with peers utilizing Web
2.0 tools to further explore a
career cluster, which resulted
in a virtual career fair.
While career exploration
has always been a part of a
comprehensive guidance cur-
riculum, there is an increas-
ing emphasis on preparing
students to be marketable in
our global economy. Teaching
students skills such as setting
goals, effectively collaborat-
ing and utilizing Web 2.0 tools
are essential elements for suc-
cess in the future.

Payback time
Red-hot Panthers slip past Sailors
By Dave Palana, Sports Editor
dave@hansonexpress.com
The Panthers dominated
the first period Tuesday at
Rockland Rink. Scituate domi-
nated the final two, but the dif-
ference was when the Panthers
had momentum, they scored.
Scituate did everything they
could, but could not find the
back of the net.

Scituate 0
Coleman Lenane knocked

McArthur shot 2 minutes and
48 seconds into the first pe-
riod, and that was enough for
the Panthers to pull out a 1-0
win over the Sailors after los-
ing to them 3-2 on Dec. 18.
“It wasn’t always pretty,
but we held the fort,” head
coach Rich Manning said.
“It’s been a while since we
knocked them off. They’re
a great program and they’ve
been on a roll for many years
now. We’ve competed with
them a little bit here and there.
It was a huge game for us with
big league implications.”
Since losing to the Sailors,
the Panthers have won five of
their last six games.
“We have a young club and
we’re learning as time goes
on,” Manning said. “We’re
gaining an identity. Most often
lately we’ve been winning our
battles.”
Despite being undersized,
the Panthers came out deter-
mined to impose their will
physically on the larger Sailors
in the first period. The aggres-
sive checking helped keep the
Scituate offense out of sync
and created scoring chances.

The teams traded one-
point leads for the final two
minutes until Pembroke
was called for an illegal
screen with 25 seconds left
and were forced to foul Jay
Stephansky.
“I’m going to give my
assistant coach Russ Young
a lot of credit for that one,”
Rodgers said. “He told me to
tell [the referee] to look for
the illegal screen and they
made a gutsy call.”
Stephansky hit one free
throw but missed his second
and Pembroke rebounded
only to turn the ball back
over to the Panthers on a
traveling call. Alex Nuby hit
two more free throws to seal
the game.

The tide turned almost
instantly in the second as Sci-
tuate relentlessly attacked the
Panther net and held the Pan-
thers to just two shots, and
forcing them to repeatedly ice
the puck just to get fresh legs
on the ice.
“We bent heavily but we
didn’t break,” Manning said.
“We couldn’t quite get the
puck in their zone. It feels
good to be on the other side
of games like this. Sometimes
we out-pressure a team and
don’t get any goals to show
for it, and it was a reversal of
fortune today.”
Tom Leonard was up to the
task in net. The senior goalie
made nine of his 20 saves in
the second period, including a
pair of diving stops to rob De-
von Flynn and Charles Spalt.
“We have very good goal-
ie back there,” Manning said.
“He bailed us out at times.”
Scituate remained on the
offensive for most of the third
period, but the Leonard and
the Panther defense held their
ground to record their first
shutout of the season and im-
prove to 5-4 and 4-2 in the Pa-
triot League. After an 0-3 start,
the Panthers are in contention
at the top of the Keenan Divi-
sion and two in the loss col-
umn behind Pembroke for the
overall league lead. The season
is still young, but the Patriot
League standings are so tight a
loss to the Sailors would have
dropped the Panthers signifi-
cantly down the ladder.
“It was big,” Lenane said
of the win Monday. “If we
didn’t get it we’d be fight-
ing for fourth place and now
we’re fighting for first. It’s ex-
citing.”
Dondre James led all scor-
ers with 21 points, including
three of Whitman-Hanson’s
10 3-pointers. James has be-
come a versatile player both
offensively and defensively
for the Panthers in his first
varsity season, and Rodgers
expects him to be a key part
of the team for the next few
years as he matures.
“Dondre is so much like
his brother [former Panther
captain Noel James],” Rod-
gers said. “As he gets older
and figures out more who
he is, he’s going to be a fun
player to watch.”
With win and the loss,
the Panthers stand at 5-2 and
trail Hingham by two in the
loss column in the Patriot
League. They will play back-
to-back road games next
week against Bridgewater-
Raynham and Middleboro.

Girls hockey tees off against Scituate Sailors

Kristy Kennedy scored
five goals to lead WHP to a
10-3 romp of the Sailors at the
Pilgrim Arena in Hingham.
Kennedy broke a 1-1 tie
with a five-hole goal six and
a half minutes into the second
period and tipped in her own
rebound with 2:57 to play in
the frame. She picked up the
hat trick in the opening minute
of the third period and added
two more goals before the 10-
minute mark.
“This was her best game,”
head coach Joe Coulter said of
Kennedy. “It was long over-
due. I was very pleased with
her, she had a great game.”
Freshman Jane Morrisette
assisted on three of Kennedy’s
goals and added one of her
own late in the third. Senior
Krystal Barnard scored a goal
and assisted on Morrisette’s as
well as two of Kennedy’s giv-
ing their line 13 points in the
game.

“I was pleased with all three
lines today.
Scituate scored first af-
ter a WHP turnover at their
own blue line gave the Sail-
ors a two-on-one break fin-
ished by Katie McMahon at
9:15 in the first period. Paige
Caswell evened the score for
WHP before the end of the pe-
riod when she forced the puck
through a scrum at the front of
the Sailor net. Kennedy’s first
two goals gave WHP a cush-
ion in the second that fresh-
man Michaela McIsaac added
to with a backhand goal with
2:30 to play in the second.

“They settled down and
really came together,” Coulter
said. “It was a great team ef-
fort.”
Kennedy then scored her
final two to open the third
period and the Sailors then
sandwiched Barnard’s goal
in between two of their own.
Morrisette and Kelsey Murray
then finished the scoring for
WHP. Assistant captain Tricia
Stacy added three assists from
her defenseman position.
It was a big win for the
team after they were shut out
5-0 in the same building by
Hingham two days earlier.
“It’s nice to come back
here and leave on a positive
note,” Coulter said.
WHP was down 3-0 with
two minutes to play when
Coulter pulled goalie Kelly
Travers for an extra attacker,
but Hingham took advantage
with a pair of empty-net goals
to inflate the score.
Despite the loss, Travers
had another stellar game in net
for the team, and after the win
over Scituate, boasts a 2.10
goals-against average and a
94.6 save percentage.
“Kelly Travers played a
great game making some in-
credible saves,” Coulter said
after the Hingham game. “The
score would have been much
higher.”
WHP improved to 3-3 in
league play and 4-3 overall
after Tuesday’s win. They re-
turn home to the Bridgewater
Ice Arena on Saturday to play
Barnstable.

Whitman-Hanson trailed
for the entire first half but
surged past Pembroke in the
third quarter and held off the
Titans in the fourth for a 61-
57 win at Pembroke on Friday.
They then lost 63-60 at the
high school on Tuesday to the
Quincy Presidents.
The four-point win and
three-point loss were the fifth
and sixth games for the Pan-
thers decided by five points
or fewer and the seventh and
eighth by less than 10.
“We’re giving basketball
fans that follow Whitman-
Hanson something to really
follow,” head coach Bob Rod-
gers said. “These games are
all so close I don’t know if my
heart can take it.”
The Titans opened up a
19-9 lead after one quarter and
widened it to 12 in the second,
but the Panthers drained five
3-pointers in the second half
to help close the lead to two by
halftime. Alex Nuby hit four
from behind the arc for 12 of
his 16 points.
“Alex Nuby has emerged
as a weapon for us,” Rodgers
said. “If he continues to play
like that, we’re going to be
contenders.”
Stephansky gave the Pan-
thers the lead by one with an-
other three at the end of the
third quarter, but James Gaine
gave the lead right back to the
Titans with a basket on the first
possession of the fourth. Gaine
dominated the fourth quarter
for the Titans with five re-
bounds and 11 of his 17 points
coming in the frame, despite
missing nearly two minutes af-
ter suffering a cut on his chin;
however, the Titans did not
have another player in double
figures.
“Gaine is about as good as
it gets in our league,” Rodgers
said. “We put a ton of effort
on him, but ultimately they
weren’t able to feed him and
get a quick basket. He had to
