Whitman residents will
be seeing a few changes at
curbside starting this summer
including a new requirement
to recycle every week. But a
new pickup system adopted
by hauler Mike DelPrete &
Sons also could make recy-
cling easier than ever.
Department of Public
Works commissioners plan
to formally vote at a March
meeting to adopt a mandatory
recycling program within the
town —  meaning residents
must set out recycling with
their weekly trash or the haul-
er will not pick up any items.
Bruce Martin, associate
superintendent of the High-
way Department, said resi-
dents are not required to set
out a specific amount but sim-
ply to make an effort.
“When we first imple-
ment this, we hope we can
just say it’s mandatory and
that people will make an ef-
fort and it ups our recycling
tonnage. We save money by
doing that,” he said. “Every
ton of recycling we submit,
that’s one less ton of trash
we’re paying at $95 a ton [to
get rid of at SEMASS].”
If DelPrete does not pick
up the trash, workers will
leave a sticker on the resi-
dent’s trash barrel explaining
the reason, Martin said.
The haulers also will not
take trash if there are recy-
clable materials visible in the
bin, Martin said.
“They’re not going to
pick through your trash, but
if there’s plastic or paper vis-
ibly hanging out the top of the
trash barrel, they won’t take
it,” he said.
Though they have yet to
take an official vote on the
change, all five commission-
ers have expressed support
for the decision and likely
will vote on it at their next
meeting on March 15, Martin
said.
“We haven’t set an exact
date, but we’re shooting for
around July 1,” Martin said
of when the mandatory recy-
cling would begin. “We have
to do a publicity campaign.

fliers in with the water bills,

A visit with library’s Jessi
Finnie and Samantha Duckworth
Director, adult services librarian gearing up for
long-range planning, National Poetry Month

By Becca Manning, Express Editor
becca@hansonexpress.com
ired as director in
June, Whitman
Public Library Di-
rector Jessi Finnie is settling
into her first year on the job
and getting ready to look at
the library’s future through its
long-range plan this spring. A
former magazine editor, Finnie
first came to Whitman as the
adult services librarian in Oc-
tober 2009. The current adult
services and reference librar-
ian, Samantha Duckworth, has
been in the position since Au-
gust and is planning a long list
of events for residents to enjoy
this spring. Next week, the li-
brary will welcome its newest
employee — new Youth Ser-
vices Librarian Melissa Arnett,
who comes to Whitman from
the Cape May County Library
in New Jersey.
What’s new at the li-
brary? Jessi Finnie: We’re
going to be doing our long-
range planning this year. Basi-
cally, that’s us looking at what
we are going to really focus on
in the library for the next five
years and how we are going to
meet the community’s needs.
We’ll be sending out surveys
with the water bills this May.
We’ll be doing some meetings
with the community and just
trying to find out more of what
people are going to be looking
for in the future a the library.
What’s the timeline for
the plan? Finnie: We’ll be do-
ing the majority of the planning
March through June and then
we’ll submit it to the state in
the first of October. It’s some-
thing we do every five years.
The reason we do it is partially
so that we can have a plan to
look forward to, but also it al-
lows us to qualify for grants
from the state. We try to get as
many grants as possible to help
boost our funding here.
Is there anything you of-
fer at the library that people
may not realize you have?
Finnie: I think a lot of people
don’t realize we have DVDs,
and museum passes. Those are
a huge savings — sometimes
as much as $20 per person. We
have them for places like the
Museum of Science, the New
England Aquarium, the Mys-
tic Aquarium and the Boston
Children’s Museum. It usually
is between $4 and $8 a person
for admissions that are nor-
mally $20-$28 a person. Most
of them admit four people.
Duckworth: I also encoun-
ter people who are really sur-
prised we have graphic novels.
We have a pretty good col-
lection. And we have a really
great selection of magazines.
Finnie: The resumé soft-
ware that Sam purchased
through a jobs grant, you can

Services and Reference Librarian Samantha Duckworth stand in

Whitman library. Photo by Becca Manning
use that from home. Also, if
you have a library card, you
can access World Book [ency-
clopedias] from home.
What are some activities
you have coming up at the
library? Duckworth: A lot of
the programming I’ve been do-
ing lately is for the jobs grant,
which started in October 2010
and goes to this October. One
of my favorites is our month-
ly networking group; most
people are unemployed and
they’re just looking for con-
tacts and ideas about how to
boost their job search. There’s
a speaker every month. This
month, on March 10, it’s Anne
Beauregard; she’s going to
talk about how to incorporate
volunteerism into your resumé
and job search. We also have
something called Job Search
for the Mature Worker that’s
given by a local nonprofit
called One Life at a Time. This
is the third workshop they’ve
done for us. [The next one is
Wednesday, March 16 from
10-11:30 a.m.]
How were you able to se-
cure this competitive grant?
Finnie: We spent a lot of time
on the application; we felt like
it was something our commu-
nity really needed. We have an
unemployment rate in Whit-
man that’s higher than the
state average, so we certainly
have the statistics to show that
we were in need. We were able
to show a lot of support from
the community; we got some
great partners like one Life at
a Time and the Small Business
Administration.
What do you have
planned for National Poetry
Month in April? Duckworth:
We have a poetry contest run-
ning. On April 4, we will have
a poetry writing workshop,
and on April 5 we’re going to
have a reading by a local poet,
Dzvinia Orlowsky.
The second week in April
is National Library Week, so
we’re going to have a memoir
class to celebrate the theme of
Library Week, which is ‘Tell-
ing your Story.’ We might
have another workshop on
self-publishing, but that’s not
confirmed yet. At the end of
the week, we’re having the
awards for the poetry contest
and have people read their fa-
vorite poems if they want to.
Where does the library
stand going into the FY2012
budget cycle? Finnie: We
have been lucky enough to be
level-funded over the last few
years. I say ‘lucky’ because a
lot of other libraries have got-
ten cut. We still don’t really
know what to anticipate this
year. I’ve already met with
the Finance Committee and
presented a couple different
budgets. Of course, we always
would like some extra fund-
ing; I think most agencies are
like that. We have a little bit
of a catch-22 because the state
requires us to spend a certain
amount of money on resourc-
es —  the books and resourc-
es we lend out to the public
—  and what we get from the
town doesn’t meet that need,
so we’re always pulling from
other funds. We get some
money from the state, and
we’re also able to keep some
of our money from the fines
and fees that we take in. So
that rounds out our budget.
We’re optimistic that we’ll be
funded at least to the level that
we are now. We’ve all taken
on a little more work here. The
library’s busier than ever. Our
need hasn’t gone down.
Where are you in the pro-
cess of redoing the library
Web site? Duckworth:We’re
hoping it will be done by the
end of March. We’re hoping to
make it easier to find informa-
tion; right now a lot of stuff is
buried. We also hope to incor-
porate some things like a blog
to talk about some of our most
recent events.

Local pub to go big with
St. Patrick’s Day event
continued from page one
McGuiggan’s and it’s great for
the town of Whitman.”
Rosen said he hoped to see
not only local officials there
for the unfurling but also a few
state dignitaries, possibly the
lieutenant governor. At least
two radio stations, including
Quincy-based WROL 950AM,
which plays Irish and Italian
music on the weekends, also
will be on site, and Rosen plans
to have two bucket trucks there
with photographers to capture
the sight.
“It’s going to be a huge
event,” Rosen said.
The St. Patrick’s Day fes-
tivities will begin on Thurs-
day, March 17 with the flag
unfurling at 2 p.m., Rosen
said, and will include perfor-
mances throughout the day by
Irish step dancers from Mau-
reen Haley’s Whitman School
of Irish Dance. Vocalist Mike
Kostas will perform from 5-9
p.m., and vocalist Jeff Neva-
ris will perform at 9 p.m. Also
making an appearance will be
the Brockton Firefighters Pipes
and Drums, a group of about
20 bagpipers and drummers.
Volunteers will start a little
south of the pub on Washing-
ton Street and walk the flag
down to present it at the pub.
The street will be closed down
for about 20 minutes for the
event. The flag will be un-
furled, spread across the street
from the McGuiggan’s en-
trance almost to the door of the
building across the way.
Rosen encouraged the pub-
lic to come out for the event
and said he is looking for vol-
unteers to help hold the flag.
“We have a volunteer list
at the pub, so if people are
looking to participate, they can
come in and sign up,” he said.
Though the giant Irish flag
has not been presented in Whit-
man before, the town has seen
other oversized flags. Several
years ago, volunteers unfurled
three giant American flags
in Whitman Center as part of
Winter fest.
Whitman also has a tie to
the National Flag Exhibit’s
earliest days.
The exhibit got its start
25 years ago when Valentine
was hired by the U.S. govern-
ment to bring a 45-by-90-foot
American flag to Mount Rush-
more in Keystone, S.D. to cel-
ebrate the 50th anniversary of
the Abraham Lincoln figure.
The flag was draped over the
carved stone face of Lincoln
and pulled back to recreate the
original unveiling. Another
flag was commissioned two
years later for the 50th rededi-
cation of the Roosevelt figure,
Valentine said.
Before it journeyed out
to South Dakota for the cel-
ebration in 1987, the giant flag

On Stage Theatre visits Broadway

O n Stage Theatre recently took a bus of 42 parents and
students to New York City. The students participated in
a Broadway workshop with Broadway star and cast member of
Mary Poppins, T. Oliver Reid, as well as an accompanist from
the show. The students learned a musical number from the show
and had a question and answer session with Reid. He left from the
workshop and headed right to his matinee performance at the New
Amsterdam Theatre. Before he left, he and the students came up
with a signal that he would do on the stage to say “hi” to them dur-
ing the performance that day. The students were “wowed” by the
performance and enjoyed seeing their teacher acknowledge them
from the stage. They also enjoyed seeing choreography that they
learned at the workshop. On Stage Theatre directors, Corey Hickey
and Brooke Scriven, were very proud to watch their students jump
right in around the piano to sing and were thrilled they picked up
the choreography so quickly. They were very proud of the their
students’ professionalism and enthusiasm throughout the day and
were grateful to parents who came along to cheer the children on
and share the day. More Broadway master classes and trips are
planned in the near future. 

On Stage Theatre students took along the Express on their recent trip to New York City.

I’ve been a patient of this fellow for a number of years and

was breaking even, but is now operating at a 40 percent loss on
each and every Medicare/ Medicaid visit. He refuses to subsi-

In these days of ever increas- Getting real
ing health care costs, we really have to do some thinking about
what’s going on here. My friend runs a fairly simple business
model. He has an austere office, two people on his payroll and
nothing particularly high overhead. Yet he won’t work for the
government. What is driving costs so high and can the govern-
ment cut costs by cutting reimbursement to front line provid-
ers?
Now my bias is that government does nothing efficiently,
just by the nature of being a large bureaucracy. But what else
is in play here? Technology costs money. New wonder drugs
cost lots of money because they are difficult to bring to market
and because for every R&D success there are myriad failures.
Research is expensive. Certainly malpractice insurance for
physicians, nurses and other medical professionals is a huge
expense. Insurance administration in and of itself is also a huge
expense, as there is apparently no standardization. Medical

that they have learned and are
able to do.
It’s always a good idea
to review methods that can
relieve the stress of standard-
ized testing for children. Talk
to your child about test taking
strategies he/she has learned in
school. When your child be-
comes the teacher, the process
becomes further ingrained in
his/her own mind. Discuss
how an open response question
should be answered. Remind

to review his or her test thor-

is over. These are all strate-
gies that your child’s teacher
has been working on in class
since September.
As always, please make
sure your child has a good
breakfast every morning, but
especially on a test taking day.
Healthy snacks and a good
night’s sleep are all essential
components to assuring that
your child has every advan-
tage. Finally, while reinforc-
ing that the MCAS is a great
opportunity for students to
show what they know, remind
your child that he/she will
have many opportunities to do
so as MCAS comes around as
surely as spring blossoms.

• Following the path of least
resistance is what makes men
and rivers crooked.
• A good memory is trained to
forget the unimportant.
• An Arabian proverb: “When
you have spoken the word, it
reigns over you. When it is
unspoken you reign over it.”
• Calligraphy is my favorite form
of penwomanship.
• One test of good manners is to
be able to pleasantly put up with
bad ones.
• If written correctly, a legal
brief is perfectly incomprehensi-
ble.
• The most important thing you
wear is your expression.
• In Old Scotland, Parliament
passed a law forbidding any
man to turn down a girl who
proposed to him on Leap Year,
under penalty of a $500 fine.
• Billy Burke said: “Age is some-
thing that doesn’t matter unless
you are a cheese.”
• Observe your dog: If he’s get-
ting fat you’re not getting
enough exercise.
• Sometimes its better to
explode than implode.
• Heaping high praise on our
politicians for ending the
Persian Gulf War is like cheering
an arsonist for putting out a fire
he started.
• Howe’s Law: Every man has a
scheme that will not work.
• Hoare’s Law of Large
Problems: Inside very large
problems is a small problem
struggling to get out.
• Etorre’s Observation: The
other line moves faster.
• “Laziness is nothing more than
the habit of resting before you
get tired.” Jules Renard said it.
• Laurence Sterne speaking:

Town to require recycling
continued from page one
with state law, Martin said
— specifically state regula-
tion 310 CMR 19.017, which
bans certain materials includ-
ing metal, glass and recyclable
paper from being disposed of
through the regular solid waste
stream and has been in place
for more than a decade.
“It’s actually against the
law for these items to go into
your regular trash, and that’s
been the case for 10 years. It’s
nothing new,” Martin said.
“This is for us to be in compli-
ance with it and for us to try to
save the town money.”
The decision to go to man-
datory recycling is one of the
reasons the DPW is also start-
ing to advertise the single-
stream recycling option.
“We’re trying to make it
easier for people to recycle by
telling them they don’t have
to separate their recyclables.
They can take a 33-gallon
trash can, slap a recycling
sticker on it [which is avail-
able through the DPW], and
that can be their recycling bin.
Now they can just throw ev-
erything that’s recyclable into
that one container,” Martin
said.
DelPrete began offering
single-stream in December,
Martin said, after purchasing
the necessary equipment to
mix items at curbside.
Items that should not be
placed in the recycling bins
include any hazardous materi-
als, yard waste such as leaves
and grass clippings, tires, bat-
teries and electronics such as
televisions, computer moni-
tors, stereos and telephones.
The DPW has a place at its
town garage where residents
can drop off yard waste and
some other small items at
no cost, and they also accept
large items such as TVs and
computers for a small fee,
Martin said.
Though the main conse-
quence of failure to comply
with the mandatory recycling
program is missed pickup that
week, there could be addition-
al consequences for residents
who refuse to participate,
Martin said.
“Some towns pass bylaws
to fine people. We’re not go-
ing to go that way,” he said.
“There are existing laws the
Board of Health has in place
that can kick in if a resident’s
trash doesn’t get picked up
because they’re not recycling
and they leave that trash for a
number of weeks in protest or
whatever. What we fall back
on is anti-littering laws and
other Board of Health rules
that are outside the DPW.”
Martin said he has not
heard much from residents
about the change but expects
people to weigh in once the
program is advertised.

From DUX to Ducks Almost there

WHP loses to Dragons, set for rematch with Fontbonne
By Dave Palana, Sports Editor
dave@pembrokexpress.com
It was a lackluster end
to the regular season for the
Whitman-Hanson/Pembroke
girls hockey team, but when
they saw their tournament
bracket on Saturday afternoon,
business picked right back up.

WHP 1
Duxbury 3
WHP ended their season
with a 3-1 loss to the Duxbury
Dragons at the Hobomock Ice
Arena in Pembroke on Friday
and will open the MIAA tour-
nament against the Fontbonne
Academy Ducks in Quincy on
Thursday.
Neither Duxbury nor WHP
skated with their usual inten-
sity in the final game of the
season for both tournament-
bound teams. The Dragons
scored one minute and 26 sec-
onds into the game on a shot
by Jacqui Nolan, but Jane
Morrisette evened the score
for WHP a little more than one
minute later off a pass from
Tricia Stacy.
However, Hannah Mur-
phy gave the Dragons the lead
again before the period was
over. Brianna Connolly added
some insurance five minutes
into the second while WHP

“One thing Duxbury does
really well is stop us at the
blue line,” assistant coach Dan
Mastrogiacomo said. “We re-
ally focused on trying to get
the puck into their zone, and
they are just a talented team.”
The team had their chanc-
es with Duxbury taking five of
their 11 penalties in the third
period, but WHP could not
capitalize on the power plays,
putting only one shot on net in
the third.
“They play [defense]
well,” Mastrogiacomo said.
“We were really hoping to give

them their first league defeat,
but they held us at the blue line
pretty much the entire game.”
The team will be looking
for more retribution when they
play the Ducks on Thursday.
It was Fontbonne who beat
WHP for the state champion-
ship two years ago, and they
own a 4-1 win over WHP al-
ready this season. While it
will be a tall order for WHP,
Mastrogiacomo said the team
is fired up to have another shot
at Fontbonne.
“The team is really pumped
up,” he said on Monday. “And
that is good news.”

By Dave Palana, Sports Editor
dave@hansonexpress.com
The Whitman-Hanson
girls basketball team held on
until the end, but they couldn’t
get the defensive stops they
needed to stay with the Brock-
ton Boxers.
The Boxers turned a two-
point lead into an eight-point
lead in the blink of an eye in
the fourth quarter and never
looked back to hand the Pan-
thers a 58-46 loss at the high
school on Monday and elimi-
nate Whitman-Hanson from
the MIAA tournament.
The Panthers trailed by
seven, 39-32, entering the
fourth quarter, but a 3-point-
er and a lay-up from Kaley
Mientkiewicz cut Brockton’s
lead to two less than two min-
utes into the period. However,
Brockton answered with a 6-0
run in less than one minute to
go back up by eight and an-
swered every Panther basket
to prevent Whitman-Hanson
from closing the gap.
“We just couldn’t stop

One and done for Panthers

Oliver Ames knocks boys out of tournament in first round
By Dave Palana, Sports Editor
dave@hansonexpress.com
Whitman-Hanson turn-
overs allowed Oliver Ames
to stay in control despite poor
perimeter shooting. And when
the Tigers caught fire, the Pan-
thers couldn’t keep pace.
Oliver Ames closed out
the first half on a 10-0 run
and never looked back as they
eliminated the Panthers from
the MIAA tournament with a
62-40 win at Oliver Ames.
The Panthers couldn’t find
their touch in the first quarter
and committed six turnovers
but trailed by only four, 11-7,
at the break. They came out
more aggressive to start the
second and cut the lead to one
on a 3-pointer by Jay Stepha-
nsky and a lay-up by Declan
Wirzburger. However, the Ti-
gers began to find their range
from beyond the arc, and hit
three 3-pointers in the final
two minutes, including a buzz-
er-beater that sent the Panthers
into halftime down 31-16.
“We had it 20-16 with about
three and half minutes to go in
the first half, and I’m thinking
if we go into halftime down
four or five, I’m thrilled,” head
coach Bob Rodgers said. “But
they hit a three, then we turned
it over and they got an inside
hoop and another three, and all
of a sudden it went from four
points to 15. That pretty much
dictated how the game went.”
The Panthers continued to
have trouble holding onto the
basketball in the second half,
committing seven of their 21
turnovers in the third quarter
and allowing the Tigers to run
their lead as high as 29 before
filtering out their starters over
the fourth quarter.
“There were times there
where we couldn’t even get a
shot,” Rodgers said. “We’d go
two or three minutes without
getting a shot, and that comes
down to the way [Oliver Ames]
plays defense. They played ter-
rific defense and they dictated
where we were going to go.”
With Oliver Ames well in
control, Rodgers began pulling
his seniors one at a time in the
fourth quarter so they could get
an ovation from the large Pan-
ther crowd that made the trip
to Easton for the game. Rod-
gers said this group of seniors
had a tough task with most of
them getting very few varsity
minutes coming into the sea-
son, but he said he was proud
of how hard they worked to get
back to the tournament.
“They have just been such
a great group,” he said. “Jason
has been one of the best cap-
tains I’ve ever had. He’s so re-
spected by his teammates with
the way he goes about every-
thing. But we had such great
leadership from all the seniors.

a workhorse for us and Declan

Girls fly to the finish

Galewski, Baker medal at All-State Championships
By Dave Palana, Sports Editor
dave@hansonexpress.com
It was a tough ending to the
indoor season for Whitman-
Hanson’s stellar 4x800 relay
team, but for long jumper Ni-
cole Galewski, Saturday’s All-
State Championship meet at
the Reggie Lewis Center was
a breakout day.
Galewski just snuck into
the All-State meet as the 26th
seed out of 27 jumpers with
her 16-foot, 1-inch jump at the
Division II State Champion-
ship the week before. But the
sophomore jumper leapt 16’
7.25” on Saturday to advance
into the finals and earn the
eighth place medal.
“To come from the second-
to-last seed to finishing eighth
is pretty amazing,” head coach
Mike Driscoll said. “Moving
up 18 spots is pretty good.”
Fellow sophomore Rachel
Baker matched Galewski’s
eighth-place finish with her
performance in the mile run.
Baker broke the school record
in the mile at the D-II meet
with her time of 5:14.28, and
shaved nearly a second off that
time to break it again on Satur-
day with a 5:13.42 run.
“Rachel was great in the
mile,” Driscoll said. “She end-
ed with her best.”
While it was a good day
for Galewski and Baker, it was
a frustrating day for the rest of
the Lady Panthers. Both Abby
Baker and Gianna Cacciatore
were off their times from the
Division II meet, and what
looked like a promising 4x800
relay went south when Cac-
ciatore was bumped during
the baton handoff and lost her
shoe.
“When your shoe comes
off, that’s rough,” Driscoll
said. “That is really tough, but
all five girls got here because
they worked hard, and they’re
all young so hopefully they
