Maquan celebrates Martin Luther King Jr. Day

M
aquan School students have been taught about ac-
ceptance and tolerance to go along with a district-
wide initiative to celebrate Martin Luther King Jr.’s
life and his successes. Each grade worked on a project which
is on display in the second annual Hall of Tolerance. Maquan
students have been taught all year the importance of tolerance.
Each month, a bulletin board in the main hallway depicts a theme
word. This month the students are learning about equality. Each
month, when the board transitions, a new teacher takes over the
design. The goal is for students to learn to treat others with re-
spect.

Students dedicated to DECA
By Emily Brain
Express Intern
The Whitman-Hanson Re-
gional High School chapter of
DECA, an international asso-
ciation of marketing students,
returned home last Friday after
a two-day district conference,
claiming victory. The confer-
ence took place in Hyannis
with 87 of 109 members of
DECA in attendance.
All members received a
national level certificate recog-
nizing them for scoring above
the DECA national average;
many students placed in the
top 10 and some received tro-
phies for their overall scores.
Approximately 25 students
earned the right to attend the
DECA State Conference in
March.
DECA advisors Nina Con-
solini and Lydia Nelson said,
“This is the largest group
we’ve ever brought to the con-
ference and they did great.”
At the conference, each
student chooses a category
that interests them and then
competes against other high
school students in that catego-
ry. Each student also takes two
written exams and participates
in two role-play situations that plications, these students also
they are scored in. The overall
scores of each student decide
how they place in their cat-
egory.
Of the 87 students that par- while others were attracted by Todd who placed third in the

They each had similar rea-

being that participation looks

that could be added to their re-
sumés.
Victoria Consolini, Chris Todd and Morgan Turner show off their much a success as the recent
awards from the DECA Conference.

“These students worked
hard for these achievements,”
She added.
“Members of DECA are
students who are willing to
work hard and enjoy doing so.
The outstanding number of
awards won by Whitman-Han-
son students were all earned
and well-deserved.”
From March 10 to 12, the
25 students who qualified for
the State Conference will trav-

Boston to compete once again.
Consolini said that this is the
highest number of students to
have earned this right and they
hope that this conference is as

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,

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

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.

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.”
“[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-
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,
2EGISTERAND3AVE%NROLLMENT&EE

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 Express – Your Hometown Newspaper!
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
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.
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
Photo by Stephanie Spyropoulos
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.

Student joins statewide
community service initiative
continued from page one
the Whitman Middle School
Student Council held the Jeans
for Teens drive where the
community donated jeans to
help those who were affected
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.”
On Saturday, inauguration
events continued with Project

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
Martin Luther King Jr. and
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

Hannah Cotter and Katherine Burris worked with 351 middle
schoolers from across the state selected to participate in Project
351. Cotter and Burris worked on inspirational murals and photo
frames for Blackstone Elementary School.

governor when she participated in Project 351 on Saturday.
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.
“Everyone was talking and
reflecting back on the day,”
Cotter said. “We didn’t realize
community service could be
so fun.”
Cotter said in the future
she would love to participate
in another project similar to
Project 351.

“It was a very rewarding
experience,” she said.
She said she also wants to
talk to her principal to see if
there is a way to do more for
the Whitman Middle School
or the town.
“Project 351 is about en-
couraging the next generation
of leaders to give back to our
communities,” Patrick said.
“The goal is to generate 351
ripples of impact as the young
people return to their homes
and schools, spreading the
spirit of service throughout the
Commonwealth.”

Snow removal regulations
When snow warnings are issued, residents are requested to
remove parked vehicles from all streets to avoid damage to them
and to expedite plowing and sanding operations. Vehicles inter-
fering with snow removal will be moved at the owner’s expense
and a $50 fine may be assessed.
No person other than an employee in the service of the town
of Hanson or an employee in the service of an independent con-
tractor acting for the town of Hanson shall pile, push, shovel,
snow blow or plow snow or ice onto a public or private way
plowed by the town, so as to impede the flow of traffic on such
way, whoever violates this section shall bear the cost of such
cleanup and shall be punished by a fine of not more than $150.
Further, contractors may not be hired or requested to clear pri-
vate driveways or walks while they are working for the town;
however, should an emergency arise, the highway surveyor has
the authority to use his discretion in such cases.
The town is not responsible for damaged lawns, fences,
shrubs, trees or mailboxes located within the town street lay-
out.
Further, the winter months are pothole months; please drive
with caution and report all potholes that have not been repaired
in a timely fashion to the highway office at 781-293-2822.

Bennett once wrote:
“Any change, even a
change for the better, is always
accompanied by drawbacks
and discomforts.” This is so
true. Each year brings new be-
ginnings and with it new chal-
lenges as well, January may
be the start of 2011, but we
are well into
our school
year already.

Principal seventh grad-

other end of
the spectrum our eighth grad-
ers are soon going to be enter-

It is at this time we can look
back and see what we are do-
ing well, but we can also make
some resolutions for change.
I was trying to think of a
resolution I would like to see
myself accomplish during the
rest of this school year. There
are many things for the school
as well as for myself that need
to keep improving. I believe
for the school we keep mak-
ing great progress. We keep
tweaking and playing with
what we have in order to try to
make everything better for the
students of HMS. Extension
periods are definitely one of
those places. In the upcoming
months we are going to work
with this “extra time” in the
day to fine-tune our test-taking
skills and exercise a little ex-
tra effort to practice the skills
we already have in the MCAS
tested areas of English lan-
guage arts, math, and science
and technology. This isn’t re-
ally a “change” but it is mostly
an improvement we hope to see
correlates in more improved
scores for our students.
Even with our shrinking
budgets, we have tried to in-
corporate more technology
in the students’ lives. They
certainly have the technology
literally and figuratively at
their fingertips when they are
outside our school building;
it is in trying to get more of
it into their hands and to take
advantage of it while they’re
in classes. This is very dif-
ficult. We want to keep up
with the needs of a 21st cen-
tury education, but we have to
be wary of costs. In doing so,
we have been able to purchase
more interactive whiteboards
and Netbooks, but these have
come from grants as well as
from lines that used to be used

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.

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

“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
