W-H student to go to Jr. Olympics Express Almanac

By Jared Trout
Express Contributor
It started with a Boy Scout
merit badge. Young Zack
Connell wanted the badge for
riflery. So he learned the rules
and shot a few times at the
Hanson Rod and Gun Club.
He discovered that he liked it
­­–– and also that he was good at
it. That was five years ago.
Last month, Connell
placed first in Small-bore Rifle
and second in Air Rifle at the
Massachusetts State Junior
Olympic Rifle Championship
W-H student Zachary Connell has qualified for Junior Olympics
and will be competing in riflery this spring.

held in Reading.
Connell will represent
Massachusetts in Small-bore
Rifle at the USA Shooting
Junior Olympics in April at
the Olympic Training Center,
which will take place in Colo-
rado Springs, CO.
For Air Rifle he has been
made the first alternate. In
Colorado Springs, Connell
will compete against the top
shooters from each state.
During the past five years,
Connell has dedicated himself
to becoming a better shooter.
He spends a lot of time prac-
ticing and competing.
“I started at the Hanson
Rod and Gun Club. There
were some really good shoot-
ers there that got me interested
in the sport. I shot there for
two years. Eventually, those
shooters moved on, and I
moved to the Taunton Rifle and
Pistol Club,” Connell said.
Connell is coached at the
Taunton club by Kevin Win-
ters and Sid Martin. Martin’s
13-year-old daughter Macken-
zie Martin shoots as well. In
fact, Mackenzie also qualified
to represent Massachusetts in
Colorado Springs for Girls’
12-14. So one could say it was
a good day for the club and its
junior team.
“We have a really good
program with Kevin Winters,
Sid Martin and Erik Hoskins,”
Connell said.
“I normally practice three
days a week: Monday, Wednes-
day and Friday. On any given
night, I usually shoot from 6-9
p.m.,” Connell said.
In a rifle shooting tourna-
ment, participants have a set
number of shots, usually either
60 or 120. Participants shoot
from three positions: standing,
crouching or prone. They get
a certain amount of shots from
each position to hit two targets
and a certain amount of time
in which they must take all
of their shots. In Small-bore
Rifle, the rifle is a .22 caliber
and operates with a bolt ac-
tion. The distance to the tar-
gets in an indoor tournament is
50 feet. In Air Rifle, the rifle
is .177 caliber and the distance
to the targets is 10 meters, or
about 33 feet.
Connell competes often.
Last month’s tournament was
not the first time he had tasted
success. Over the summer he
won the Massachusetts State
Championship, as well as the
Bay State Games. This past
weekend he shot in a tourna-
ment in Palmyra, PA.
“What I love about shoot-
ing is that it’s all about you.
It’s all in your head and know-
ing that when you pull the trig-
ger that you’re making a per-
fect shot,” Connell said.
“Sometimes you have to
come back from a bad shot.
You can’t get too excited. You
need to stay calm, keep your
heart rate down, and focus on
what you are doing. Our team
motto is, ‘It’s just a way of
thinking.’”
Connell, 17, is a junior at
Whitman-Hanson Regional
High School. He enjoys biol-
ogy and astronomy. Connell
is also an accomplished Boy
Scout and earned many other
merit badges in addition to
Riflery. He is currently a Life
Scout and recently built a shed
and fence at the baseball field
at the Conley School in Whit-

ect. He works part-time at the

“I plan to go in the Army

shoot on that team,” Connell
said.
“After that, I would like to

Olympics in 2016,” he added.

Hanson last Wednesday.

Vicki Ferry, station man-
ager at Ferry’s Sunoco, said
her mechanic was returning
from a test drive on a vehicle
and witnessed the white truck
at the stop sign. He was turn-
ing at the same time on East
Washington Street.
“He got a good look at
him and his hat,” said Ferry.
Ferry’s has been a family
owned and operated business
in Hanson for 40 years. Ferry
said she was first and foremost
thankful that no one had been
injured during the robbery.
“Sad times have made
people desperate,” she added.
She noted it is their policy
not to allow gas attendants to
carry large sums of cash and
estimated the man may have
gotten around $60
Hanover police officers
and surrounding towns were
alerted. Hanson and Hanover
police were in pursuit of a
white pickup truck driven by
Curtis.
Hanover Police Lieutenant
Robert Heywood said his offi-
cers were in the area following
the call from Hanson Police
alerting them of the truck’s de-
scription when his officer on
detail at Spring Street stopped
the truck and spoke with Cur-
tis. Speeding off after striking
a telephone pole, Curtis made
a switch to a PT Cruiser on
Cheryl Lane where his mother
resides.

close and personal for every thinking resident of
these United States.
The chattering classes have already begun with recrimina-
tions of the Republican Party, conservative talk show hosts, the
Tea Party and seemingly everyone who is not an Obama Demo-
crat as being a party to this violent act by inflaming the passions
of the unstable among us. There may or may not be some truth
in that argument, but these same
commentators seem to conveniently
GETTING REAL
forget the late ’60s and early ’70s when left wing radicals were
espousing anarchy, revolution, new social order and general
mayhem through the actions of the Students For a Democratic
Society, the Symbionese Liberation Army, the YIPPIES, the
Black Panthers and on and on. Their actions led to the murder of
police officers, bombings, arson, attacks on returning Vietnam
veterans and other acts of violence. They tore the nation apart.
Neither extreme of the political spectrum can claim to be without
sin. Demagogues abound throughout the political system.
This senseless act at Tucson is symptomatic of a failure of all
sides to tone down the rhetoric and engage in some civil discus-
sion and debate at all levels from small towns to Washington. We
have some deep philosophical divides that must be addressed:
big government versus small government; Euro-socialist welfare
state versus traditional American laissez faire decentralization;
strong executive versus strong legislative branch; strict inter-
pretation of the constitution versus an evolutionary philosophy;
tax and spend versus fiscal conservatism. These questions affect
each and every one of us in nearly every aspect of our lives. We
can discuss these issues intelligently as responsible citizens of a
democratic republic or we can quite literally fight them out in the
streets as we have a few times in our history.
At this writing, many people in this country are very angry.
They view politicians and Washington bureaucrats as being
condescending of values that the bulk of American people hold
dear, such as patriotism, self-determination, local government
and states’ rights, religion, traditional family values and a host
of other gut issues. If they are not given outlets to vent their
frustrations, we fear there will be difficult, if not violent, times
ahead. The last election let off a little of the pressure, but many
in government offices may not have gotten the message.
It’s time to tone down the rhetoric and the prissy petulance
on the part of some politicians and have meaningful dialogue,
or we could see violence perpetrated against the government not
by some deranged individual, but by well organized groups with
firm beliefs who see no other outlet for their frustrations. Red
State versus Blue State can not be allowed to become a repeat
of Blue State versus Grey State. Intellectually and emotionally,
red and blue are already deeply divided. We need to bind up the
nation’s wounds while they are still mere scratches and not wait
for something more mortal in nature. At all levels of government,
leaders it is time to earn your salaries and perks. Lead by provid-
ing more light than heat. Lead by dropping the party line and
prioritizing the welfare of the American people. Lead by putting
service above career. The stakes are too high to do any less.

Nicole Mavilia, recently

placed third. Clinching the title
of Beginner Miss Sweetheart,
it was her first performance in
the division, Maccini said.
In another big win, Shan-

Intermediate category in the
pageant and will represent
Massachusetts at Nationals.
She participated in two
previous competitions and
each year placed in her divi-

six medals at Nationals.
She is representing Mas-
sachusetts in the Intermediate

jorette of Massachusetts and

Judges came from several
New England states as well
as Indiana, Ohio and Virginia.
The purpose of the event is
to eventually allow the older
girls in the advanced divisions
to win the right to represent
Massachusetts.
The beginner and interme-
diate levels will have the ulti-
mate goal of representing the
state, according to Maccini.

his mother, said. “He worked
with high school teachers and
the administration making sure
he had the proper approval to
secure the field, tables, chairs
and even the use of trash bar-
rels, bathrooms and of course
the sound system.”
Kelly added that her son
had many friends and class-
mates as well as members of
the National Honor Society
who supported him along the
way.
“It was awe-inspiring to
see all the high school students
outside at 7 a.m. on a Saturday
morning organizing tables,
hanging posters and setting up
breakfast,” she said.
Kelly said, with her son
going off to college next year,
he won’t be able to work on
the second annual Miles for
Meals Fun Run and Walk but
he is hoping that someone will
take over the reins from him
and make it a WHRHS tradi-

“It was definitely a chal-
lenge and was a great life ex-
perience,” Kelly said about
organizing the walk.
“Ryan worked hard to complete the preparation and
set up for the Miles for Meals Walk. It was through
his efforts that the day was so successful”
Advisor Katherine Gabriel
“Ryan worked hard to com-
plete the preparation and set up
for the Miles for Meals Walk.
It was through his efforts that
the day was so successful,”
NHS Advisor Katherine Ga-
briel said. “He has started an
event that will be continued by
the National Honor Society in
the years to come. He is to be
commended for his work ethic
in achieving so much as a stu-
dent while holding down a job
and getting excellent grades.
He is a model NHS member.”
The Express – Your Hometown Newspaper!
“One of the things I like
about being in the National
Honor Society is that it is a
group of my peers from soph-
omore year to senior year that
are willing to help out with
whatever you need,” Kelly
said. “Part of what made my
walk a success was that I put
the idea on the table and im-
mediately 16 people wanted to
help out.”
Kelly said other activi-
ties he participated in this
year through the NHS is the
senior outreach program and
a “Toy Story 3” movie night
that raised money to support
the Whitman-Hanson Special
Olympic team.
Kelly said that the NHS
will be baking cookies to send
to soldiers overseas later this
month.
“We each have to sell
cookies to family members,
and you have the option to buy
them for yourself or buy them
to send to troops. We bake the
cookies in the culinary room
and it is almost like a factory
with many people churning
out cookies.”
“This year has been a lot
–– NHS
about exploring interests,”
Kelly said.
Now that the walk has
taken place, Kelly said he is
already working on another
event. He is supervising the

“Initially with the juggling

“But he has recently made
more than one breakthrough
with these students and even
with his workload, his excite-

Kelly said the students

2010 Citizen of the Year
How we chOse
The Citizen of the Year is nominated by the residents of
Hanson.
The award is given to the Hanson resident who most ex-
emplified community service during the year. It can be an
elected official, a youth sports coach, a police officer or li-
brary volunteer – anyone who has made a difference in the
town.
Although there are many people in our community who
give back year after year, the Citizen of the Year is meant to
be someone whose service truly impacted the town in 2010.
Of course, like any such contest, you’re free to agree or
disagree.

Janet Hart, Sarah Easton, Ryan Kelly, Mike Brett, Nicole Galewski, Ed Burton, Mica Anglin and
Derek McCormack volunteered their time to lend a helping hand during Dollars for Scholars

“Now they talk about col-
lege as, ‘When I go to col-
lege,’” Kelly said.
Kelly is also a volunteer
with Dollars for Scholars. He
said it is a great way to get out
and help the community.
“Mike Ganshirt [the presi-
dent of DFS] is fun and nice,
and what they do is great,”
Kelly said. “They are there to
help all us students, which is
admirable –– they don’t have
to do that.”
“Ryan has volunteered
with Dollars for Scholars dur-
ing his four years at Whitman-
Hanson. He always finds time
for our activities and, when
necessary, he rearranges his
schedule to accommodate our
fundraisers,” Ganshirt said.
“He has helped out with can-
ning, yard sale, and Electronic
Recycling Day among many
other activities. He is always
very enthusiastic at our events
and is a definite leader.”
Another adventure Kelly is
involved in is the school year-
book. Kelly, the editor, said

that dedicating his time to the
yearbook has allowed him to
discover his passion for jour-
nalism and photography.
Kelly has gained experi-
ence marketing the yearbook
and also soliciting local busi-
nesses to purchase ads.
He has changed his in-
volvement with the yearbook
to doing layout, taking more
pictures and focusing on con-
tent rather than the advertis-
ing.
“I enjoy it more,” he said.
“It is a lot less stressful.”
Kelly is also an active
member in Student Council
and finds the fundraising event
to be fun.
JH_TMC_5.9x7_ob-MFM_release.qxp:Layout
Kelly said it has been a
challenge to participate in
many organizations and main-
tain his four Advanced Place-
ment classes.
“I would rather be busy in
doing a lot than doing nothing
at all,” he said.
Kelly said he was excited
to be named the Citizen of the
Year for 2010 by the Express.
“It was definitely unex-
pected and it makes me smile,”
he added.

H
ave you ever
thought about what
it takes to be an
effective classroom teacher?
While many people are quick
to say they could do the job, in
reality little thought has gone
into what a teacher actually
does on a daily basis. The job
is not as easy as it might look.
P o l i t i c a l l y,
much debate
has centered
on educa-
tional course
work, proper
By Martin Geoghgan preparation,
Principal
Hanson Middle teacher test-
ing and state
certification.
Some studies have suggested
that instructional and manage-
ment processes are the key to
effectiveness, but other studies
emphasize the teacher’s affec-
tive characteristics, or their so-
cial and emotional behaviors.
These teacher behaviors help
to make an effective teacher.
Effective teachers care, lis-
ten, understand, know their
students well, are fair and re-
spectful, have a good sense of
humor, promote enthusiasm
and motivation for learning,
reflectively review and self
evaluate their performance
and genuinely enjoy teaching.
These qualities are important
because the teacher is a rep-
resentative of the school and
works with children on a daily
basis.
While a teacher’s social
qualities are important, a teach-
er’s personality also helps to
make an effective teacher. As

Back and forth
Hockey winning streak snapped
at three by Pembroke Titans
By Dave Palana, Sports Editor
dave@hansonexpress.com
The Panthers fought their
way back to .500 last week by
reeling off three straight wins,
but they ran into a roadblock
Saturday in the form of the red
hot Pembroke Titans.
boys Hockey
Whitman-Hanson 0
Pembroke 3
The Panthers were outshot
nearly 3-1 by the Titans, but
they held their own until some
bad luck and untimely penal-
ties led to two quick goals and
a 3-0 loss for Whitman-Hanson
at the Hobomock Ice Arena.
The strong-skating Titans
kept the Panthers from getting
any sustained offense early in
the game, but couldn’t break
through early as the Panther
defense pushed the Titans
away from the front on the net.
However, the Titans caught a
break when Kevin Dwyer’s
shot caught a piece of Panther
defender Nick Pike and was
redirected past goalie Tom
Leonard with 8.8 seconds left
in the second period.
The Panthers started the
third period down a man, and
a quick penalty on Phil Boussy
put them on the wrong end of a
five-on-three. Paul Tower took
advantage to put the Titans up
by two, 40 seconds into the pe-
riod. The Panthers were forced
to attack offensively down two
goals, which gave the Titans
more room to spread the ice on
the counterattack and allowed
Ryan Twigg to add some extra
insurance with a five-hole goal
with 7:15 left to play.
“You could figure out ear-
ly that this was not going to
be a high-scoring game,” head
coach Rich Manning said. “So

seconds left in the period felt
like a mountain to climb. They
are probably the best skating
team in our league, and we
knew we were going to have
a problem with their speed. I
think we defended and made
it hard on them for as long as
we could, but we could not get
anything going on the other
side.”
Leonard made 28 saves in
net for the Panthers, while Kyle
Jacobs had to make just 13 on
the other end for the shutout.
Jacobs made a nice save on a
Chris Mulrey breakaway in the
first period and then caught a
break when Scottie McArthur
beat him with a high wrister,
only to have it clang off the
crossbar, but he was not seri-
ously challenged for most of
the second and third periods.
“As good as Tommy played
and as good as our team de-
fense was, we couldn’t create
any offense,” Manning said.
“We’re going to lose the shots-
on-goal battle most nights, so
we have to be opportunistic
and we weren’t early and the
dam broke. We’re going to
have to come up with some-
thing to be more productive

“Randolph has resurrected

coach Kevin Black said. “The
team is loaded with talented
runners, jumpers and throw-
ers. The preview on paper def-
initely gave the edge to Ran-

“Justin Blight saved the

Black said the team’s win over
Randolph should give them
the motivation to keep moving
forward.
“It was a great win for the
Panthers even though the ef-
fort was somewhat ragged and
disjointed,” he said. “The Pan-
thers were far from perfect on
the night, but all good teams
know that sometimes the ef-
fort needed for a win can be a
little ragged. Not all competi-
tions will result in career best
nights.”
