Hanover patrolman announces


plans to run for selectman seat

The Board of Selectmen
will see a new face this spring
— as current Selectman Chris
Colclough has announced he
does not plan to run for re-
election — and that face might
belong to Tom Chambers, a
Hanover police officer who
took out nomination papers
last week to run for the seat.
Chambers, a King Street
resident, said he is hoping to
get more involved in town
politics.
“I’ve been taking care
of Hanover on the Hanover
PD for 25 years, and where I
live in Hanson, I’d like to get
a little more involved in the

town,” Chambers said of why
he’s running. “Whatever needs
to be addressed, I’d just like to
become part of the team and
see what I can do to assist the
town.”
Chambers’ name may be
familiar to locals — he ran a
sticker campaign in the No-
vember 2010 election for
Plymouth County Sheriff, los-
ing to incumbent Sheriff Joe
McDonald. Chambers said he
decided to enter the race after
Democratic candidate Richard
A. Pond dropped out of the
READY TO RUN: Hanover police
officer Tom Chambers plans to
run for a seat on the Hanson
Board of Selectmen.
race just a few months before
the election.
It was too late to get on the
ballot, so Chambers ran a six-
week sticker campaign.
“I did it just so the other
guy wouldn’t walk through the
door with a freebie,” Cham-
bers said.
He hasn’t ruled out anoth-
er run for sheriff when the seat
is up again in six years, but
for now, Chambers has set his
sights on the Hanson seat.

Destination ImagiNation team
raising funds for food pantries
By Becca Manning, Express Staff
becca@whitmanexpress.com
In past years, the Whitman-
Hanson Regional High School
Destination ImagiNation team
has spent their time working
toward competition, whether
designing an art project, creat-
ing a skit or other activities.
This year, the group is tak-
ing a different focus, work-
ing instead toward building a
more connected community.
On Saturday, their project
OUTREACH program will
culminate in the Community
Togetherness Celebration — a
full day of fun activities with
the goal of raising money to
fight hunger locally. The cel-
ebration will be held Satur-
day, Feb. 12 from 2-6 p.m. at
the WHRHS Performing Arts
Center. Admission is $3 for
Hanson and Whitman resi-
dents and $5 for nonresidents
(children under three get in
free). All proceeds will be split
between the Whitman and
Hanson food pantries.
“We’ve done a lot of re-
search in the community and
we took a survey to see what
people felt was the most prev-
alent issue,” WHRHS sopho-
more Meg Mahoney said. “We
decided that out of drug abuse,
bullying, environment and
hunger, hunger was the big-
gest issue.”
Along with interviewing
active members of the Whit-
man and Hanson communi-
ties, the teens consulted their
peers to come up with a focus

Local residents, churches
bring ministry to India
By Jared Trout, Express Contributor
When Pastor Dharma
Dande of Hyberabad, India
visited All Saints’ Episcopal
Parish in Whitman and took
his shoes off before entering
the church, parishioner David
Greene was impressed.
“He was so humble. I had
never seen anyone do that be-
fore. When I asked him why
he took his shoes off, he said
‘Because this is holy ground,’”
Greene said.
When Greene spoke with
Dande, he learned about
Dande’s work in India. Dande
founded Eternal Life Ministries
in 1992. He built and supervis-
es about a dozen churches and
a Bible school in southeastern
rural India. The churches min-
ister to the Christian popula-
tion of the villages and also
support local social services.
Christians make up just two
percent of the population of
India. Muslims make up 10-12
percent. Most of the rest of the
people are Hindu.
Greene was so impressed
with Dande’s account that he
traveled to India himself in
2005 to visit the churches and
villages.
“We gathered and wor-
shipped, spread the word and
fed the poor,” Greene said.
Greene was so affected by
his experience that he returned
in 2008 — this time with his
wife Dorothy and daughters
Alteira and Keara. Keara even
showed the Indian children
Irish step dancing.
“They were reluctant to
go at first, but I thought it was
important for them to see how
things are in India,” Greene
said. “We prayed for people,
we prayed for healing, we
handed out clothing.”
David Dyson of Birchbark
Drive in Hanson is a former
parishioner at All Saints.’ He
now attends Saint Andrew’s
Episcopal Parish in Hanover,
where his wife Elizabeth is the
rector. Dyson left on Tuesday
for southeastern India to sup-
port the churches and services
there. This is his third trip to
the subcontinent.
“We support orphanages
and care for widows. We help
get medical care to the people,”
Dyson said. “The strategy is to
plant a church in a village. The
church then becomes a social
hub, a place where villagers
can get care.”
Dyson explained that evan-
gelizing is not the first goal of
the ministry.
“We do not try to convert
aggressively. We prefer to let
our deeds and our actions speak
for themselves. People see our
actions, and some people do
convert,” Dyson said.
In fact, a Muslim village
was so impressed with the
ministry’s organization that it
asked them to set up an orphan-
age. Eternal Life Ministries is

villagers during a recent trip to India through Eternal Life
Ministries. Courtesy photos
now trying to raise the money
to finish this project.
“In India, one thing I no-
ticed is that the culture changes
if you start changing it. Litera-
cy, education and making in-
roads against the caste system
are leading to lasting social
gains,” Dyson said.
The caste system is the
backbone of India’s traditional
social order. It is a system of
rigidly defined classes ranging
from the god-like Brahmins to
the lowly Untouchables. Mem-
bers of lower castes often lack
access to education or the right
to marry outside their group.
Recently, the ministry en-
countered some financial dif-
ficulties.
“I got a call from Pastor
Dande’s assistant John Rose
saying that the ministry would
no longer be able to support
the Bible college and an or-
phanage,” Greene said.
Greene discovered that the
group would need $3,000 a
year to keep the college and or-
phanage running. The orphan-
age served about 13 children.
All Saints’ agreed to give
$700 a year. Greene asked for
more money from parishio-
ners and also sold flowers and
candy. But the cause was still a
little short.
“A woman asked me how
I was doing. I replied, ‘Not so
good,’ and told her my con-
cerns for getting the money
to fund the ministry,” Greene
said. “Well, because of this
kind woman, Ted’s Place al-
lowed us to put a collection
jar with a picture of our cause
in their restaurant. I have high
hopes that will push us to our
goal.”
Ted’s Place is on Wash-
ington Street in Whitman, just
across from All Saints.’
“The Indian people are
very kind and gracious. A smile

Good/bad news for budget
Town better off than last year, but still has ways to
go, town administrator tells Board of Selectmen
By Dave Palana, Express Staff
david@hansonexpress.com
Town Administrator René
Read presented the Board of
Selectmen with his prelimi-
nary FY2012 budget during
the board’s meeting at Town
Hall on Tuesday, and while
Read said the deficit is consid-
erably less than this time last
year, there is still a long way
to go before the final budget is
ready.
Read said the town is
looking at a nearly $250,000
shortfall for his recommended
budget of $18,629,512, which
is down from the $1.5 million
shortfall the town faced this
time last year with the FY2011
budget. However, Read said
there are still many variables
that could change the budget in
the upcoming months.
“We’re not as bad as last
year,” Read said. “But there
are a lot of moving pieces.”
Some of the moving piec-
es Read mentioned were: the
snow and ice removal budget
line, which he said could be
anywhere from $280,000 to
$400,000 depending on the rest
of the winter; assessments from
Whitman-Hanson and South
Shore Vo-Tech; contract ne-
gotiations with unions as well
as the police and fire chiefs;
andthe local aid and Chapter
70 money from the state.
State Representative Dan
Webster gave the board his
take on the proposed state bud-
get by Governor Deval Patrick,
and told the board to plan for
cuts in both state aid and chap-
ter 70.
“Budget conservatively,
because it’s a lot easier to plug
money back in than have to
make cuts,” Webster said.
Webster said he felt that
Patrick had underestimated
the cost of items such as Mass.
Health and did not add other
items like the state pension
into his budget, which will
force the House and Senate to
make cuts when they take up
their versions of the budget.
Traditionally, Webster said the
Town Administrator René Read goes over the first draft of
the FY2012 budget with the Board of Selectmen and Finance
Committee at the selectmen’s meeting on Tuesday.

Also Tuesday:
• The board met with Al Hanscom to discuss the roof problems at the
library and Indian Head School and the demolition of the Plymouth
County Hospital building. Hanscom recommended venting the roof
at the library and going up on the Indian Head roof to get a better
picture of the structure of the roof to get a firmer idea of repair costs.
He also said the $1.3 million quote for the hospital demolition is a
realistic estimate.

Team competes in Quiz Show
T
he Whitman-Han-
son Regional High
School team com-
peted against Hingham in the
taping of WGBH Channel 2’s
High School Quiz Show on
Saturday.
Though the team isn’t able
to reveal the results before the
show airs on Feb. 27, coach
Lisa Shea shared that it was a
fun day and that the audience
was filled with supporters,
including students, parents,
teachers and administrators
such as WHRHS Principal Jeff
Szymaniak and Superinten-
dent Ruth Gilbert-Whitner.
“I am extremely proud
of the young men on the first
Whitman-Hanson Quiz Show
team,” Shea said. “In becom-
ing one of the 16 teams to
compete in the show, they have
already shown their collective
academic aptitude. This is a
happening that only a limited
number of high schoolers in
Massachusetts will experi-
ence, and our team is fortunate
in their ability to work togeth-
er, support each other and have
fun no matter the outcome.”
The team was comprised of
four National Honor Society
members — seniors Andrew
Sharp, Jason Stephansky,
Hayden Kent and Derek Mc-
Cormack. They also were
coached by Kathy Gabriel,
NHS advisor.
Be sure to watch Channel
2 on Sunday, Feb. 27 at 7 p.m.

son team fared.

F
or many years, a sign has hung in our home briefly
stating what Herself claims is the little publicized
11th commandment of God in Her infinite wisdom:
Thou Shall Not Whine. As Herself is the product of 13 plus
years of Catholic education, primarily under the tutelage of the
Sisters of Saint Joseph, who am I to argue theology with her.
This 11th commandment was strictly enforced by Herself es-
pecially when the boys were young and tween
and teen crises came head to tail. Alas, this
winter has driven me to break the command-
ment.
This year I am taking the weather person-
ally. I am positive that I am being punished
By Emery Maddocks for not having been nicer or more obedi-
ent to my dear departed mother. Successive
storms are beginning to wear me down. For most of my adult
life I have been a gym rat, and though built for comfort not
speed I consider myself in pretty good shape for a man of my
chronological, if not psychological,
Getting real
maturity. Yet these twice or thrice
weekly “snow-robics” exercises are beginning to take their toll.
After clearing our fairly long and steep drive I come in asking
Herself if she got the registration number of the truck that hit
me. The end of the drive is now buttressed with ice banks, not
snow banks, that would have made my old field fortifications
instructor proud. No mas!
As my mass transit colleagues will testify, taking the com-
muter rail to Boston has been an adventure this winter. Ap-
parently the MBTA doesn’t put too much priority on keeping
parking lots and the train platforms clear of snow and ice. The
Hanson station is a trial lawyer’s dream. We’ve seen dance
moves in the parking lot that would hands down win “Danc-
ing With the Stars.” The Bruins would be reluctant to venture
out on that ice. Add to that very late trains, no heat in the cars
and doors that won’t open, and we can all agree that commut-
ing is not for sissies. Of course, the walk from South Station to
the office is an adventure that would test Sir Edmund Hillary.
The city should station Saint Bernards with brandy kegs and
an EMT at each intersection. The fancy paving stones are so
thrust by frost heaves that they resemble the Burren country in
Galway, Ireland or some lava field. No mas!
Lately we’re beginning to see a little melting when the
storms contain what the meteorologists euphemistically call “a
wintry mix.” The ice dams on peoples’ roofs are now starting
to rival the Grand Coulee Dam. Lord help us if we get a week
of 40 degree weather. Insurance adjusters will be working over-
time evaluating ceilings and walls. No mas!
Thirty-six years ago we relocated back home from Hawaii
at the command of Herself. Each year at this time I delight in
asking her just why that was. Ladies with a genteel education
should not use those words. The brother-in-law and sister-
in-law (aka the Brigadier General of Fashion Police) have
decamped to West Palm Beach. Many of my colleagues smart
enough to retire have also moved south for the winter. They ob-
viously don’t have the stamina of us true New Englanders.
To finish this rant on a positive note: sincere thanks to Dick
Harris and the Highway Department for the great work they
are doing on our roads. Given these years of tight budgets, the
results are consistently outstanding. Congratulations for a job
well done. The groundhog says spring is coming soon; we hope
he’s right.

REACHING OUT: A Destination ImagiNation team made up of Whitman-Hanson Regional High School
students are planning a Community Togetherness Celebration this Saturday at the high school to
raise funds for the Whitman and Hanson food pantries. Team members include sophomores Helyn
Leavitt, Meg Mahoney and Nell McHugh, junior Alex Winnett and sophomore Greg Mahoney.
Teens raising pantry funds

pantry needed the most and to
let them know that they should
get that food and donate it in
front of the Stop and Shop,”
WHRHS sophomore Greg
Mahoney said.
Already it seems their ef-
forts have paid off. On Satur-
day, just under a week after
tagging the shelves, Winnett
returned to pick up the first
round of donations and found
a full carriage.
The team is hoping to
bring in even more donations
this Saturday at the Commu-
nity Togetherness Celebration,
where they promise “some-
thing for everyone.”
From 2-6 p.m. at the high
school, there will be work-
shops including cupcake deco-
rating, drawing and games; a
concert featuring local bands
such as Driftway Jazz; a char-
ity fair with information from
both food pantries and other
service groups in the area; a
scavenger hunt; showing of a
family-friendly movie; magi-
cian; and concessions. There
also will be a raffle with prizes
valued at between $50 and
$150; raffle tickets cost $1 or
one nonperishable food item

each.
The group will have about
60 volunteers helping from all
over Massachusetts.
“We really used our re-
sources to get people involved
in Destination ImagiNation,
Student Council, DECA, all
different parts,” Winnett said.
“Facebook is a big tool. One
of the points of our challenge
is to use social networking
sites, so we have a Web site
and a Twitter and a Facebook
page.”
The group also will be
screening their eight-minute
documentary about hunger in
the community, part of the pro-
jectOUTREACH challenge.
“We interviewed repre-
sentatives from the Whitman
Food Pantry and also the Su-
perintendent of Schools, Dr.
Ruth Gilbert-Whitner, to get
their feedback on how hunger
The Express – Your Hometown Newspaper!
was affecting people,” Winnett
said. “We put that with some
statistics that we received and
we’re hoping to use it as a tool
to inform the public about
hunger.”
Winnett and WHRHS
sophomores Helyn Leavitt
and Nell McHugh have been
involved with Destination
ImagiNation since elementary
school, while Meg Mahoney
joined in middle school and
Greg Mahoney is the team’s
newest member, joining last
year. The international pro-
gram provides teams of all
ages with an opportunity to
explore their creative side and
work toward regional, state
and global/national competi-
tions.
“Creativity and innovation
aren’t always taught in school,
but this definitely gave an out-
let to learn that part of life,
which is so important,” said
Winnett, who joined the first
year the program was offered at
Whitman-Hanson. His mother,
Michelle, is the group’s team
manager and is also the Des-
tination ImagiNation regional
director. “In the process, I’ve
learned that people have such
good potential, whether or not
you see it at first. Every one
of these kids on the team has
something they bring to the
team.”
Though they have done
a variety of projects over the
years, many of the team mem-
bers say this year’s projec-
tOUTREACH has been their
favorite.
“It sounds cheesy, but I
think this year is the most re-
warding thing that I’ve done
out of all the years that I’ve
been in it,” Leavitt said. “I’ve
gotten more involved this year
with the process instead of just
being in the group.”
McHugh said she has al-
ways been drawn to the inde-
pendent nature of Destination
ImagiNation, where “kids get
to run the show.” She also
picked this year as her favor-

Getting prepared for MCAS
A
s the month of
March approaches,
many parents start
thinking about the standard-
ized testing, known as the
Massachu-
setts Com-
prehensive
Assessment
System. The
MCAS was
designed to
By Elaine White
meet the Edu-
Principal
Indian Head School cation Reform
Law of 1993.
The law spec-
ifies that the testing program
must test all public school
students in Massachusetts,
including students with dis-
abilities and limited English
proficient students. Student
performance is measured ac-
cording to the Massachusetts
Curriculum Framework learn-
ing standards. Reports are
then generated for each child,
school and school district. In
grades three, four and five,
students are tested in English
language arts and mathemat-
ics. Students in grade five
are also tested in science and
technology/engineering. The
test schedule is posted on the
Indian Head Web site on the
MCAS tab on the left.
The following types of
questions are used on MCAS
tests:
Multiple-choice questions

the correct answer from a list
of four options. Responses to

Poetry Out Loud contest winners
By Amy Hill, Express contributor
With the strong support of
Superintendent Dr. Ruth Whit-
ner and Principal Jeffrey Szy-
maniak, the Whitman-Hanson
Regional High School English
Department held its first offi-
cial Poetry Out Loud compe-
tition on Feb. 3. This year’s
winners were: first place, Jen-
nifer Sylvia; second place, Ab-
igail Collins and third place,
Jessica Kent.
The competition, presented
in partnership with the Massa-
chusetts Cultural Council, the
National Endowment for the
Arts, and the Poetry Founda-
tion, is part of a national pro-
gram that encourages high
school students to learn about
great poetry through memo-
rization, performance, and
competition. On Thursday af-
ternoon, eight high school stu-
dents participated in the Poetry
Out Loud school contest in the
W-H Performing Arts Cen-
ter. Teachers and principals

machine scored.
Short-answer questions are
included only on mathematics
tests and require students to
generate a brief response, usu-
ally a numerical solution or
a brief statement. Responses
to short-answer questions are
scored on a scale of 0-1 points
by one scorer at grades 3-8
and by two independent scor-
ers at grade 10.
Short-response questions
are included only on the grade
3 ELA test and require students
to generate a brief response
to a reading comprehension
question. Responses to short-
response questions are scored
on a scale of 0-2 points by one
scorer.
Open-response questions
are included on all MCAS
tests except the ELA Com-
position and require students
to generate rather, than rec-
ognize, a response. Students
create a one-or two-paragraph
response in writing or in the
form of a narrative or a chart,
table, diagram, illustration or
graph, as appropriate. Stu-
dents can respond correctly
using a variety of strategies
and approaches. Responses to
open-response questions are
scored using a scoring guide
and anchor papers (student
work), for each question.
The scoring guides indi-
cate what knowledge and skills
both English and drama back-
grounds, served as judges.
Poetry Out Loud is a na-
tional arts education program
that encourages the study of
great poetry by offering educa-
tional materials and a dynamic
recitation competition to high
schools across the country. Po-
etry Out Loud uses a pyramid
structure. Beginning at the
classroom level, winners ad-
vance to a school-wide compe-
tition, then to regional or state
competition, and ultimately, to
the national finals in Washing-
ton, DC. Nearly 300,000 stu-
dents across the country took
part in Poetry Out Loud in
2008-2009.
At Whitman-Hanson Re-
gional High School, students
recited works they selected
from an anthology of more
than 600 classic and contem-
porary poems. Judges evalu-
ated student performances on
criteria including articulation,

• The wife of the great physicist,
Robert Millikan happened to
pass through the hall of her
home in time to hear her maid
answer the telephone: “Yes,”
Mrs. Millikan overheard, Dr.
Millikan lives here, but he’s not
the kind of doctor that does
anybody any good.”
• It was George Bernard Shaw,
not Winston Churchill, who said:
“England and America are two
countries separated by the same
language.”
• The London commuter who
sarcastically suggested that a
proposed $4,000,000,000 loan
from the U.S. be liquidated by
charging this country a yearly
rental for the use of the English
language, drew a snort from
H.L. Mencken, who countered:
“I think they ought to charge us
for it, but all to the Bostonians.
They are the only ones who
speak the English language in
America. The rest of us speak
American.”
• Heredity is what parents
believe in until their children
begin to misbehave.
• Next to a temporary chairman,
there’s nothing so hard to stop
as a country weekly. There is
nothing so easy as to start
either, in the right place, at the
right time, under the right cir-
cumstances.
• Clarence Carrow said it:
“When I was a boy I was told
that anyone could become
President; I’m beginning to
believe it.”
• Girls never hate a man enough
to return his diamonds.
• Speaking of heredity, an apple
doesn’t fall very far from a tree.
• Sign in a clothing store win-
dow: “Wonderful bargains for
men with 16 and 17 necks.”
• Sign in a bar room: “All our
customers bring happiness;
some by coming, some by
going.”
• A man is himself — plus the
books he reads.
• Will Durant speaking: “A book
is a friend who will do what no
friend does — be silent when
we wish to think.”
• There are plenty of women
preachers. All they need is a
pulpit.
• To a query as to how long it
had taken Whistler to paint a
portrait he answered, “All my
life.” His most famous portrait
is of his mother, and now hangs
in the Louvre.

Author John Morris to talk on

LENDING A HAND: Ben Smith, Matt Paru, Hayden Foley, Brendan Keane and Alan Humes lend a hand
emptying a trailer full of cans donated at an earlier Boy Scout Troop 34 can drive. Courtesy of Patti Keane
lives of Gloucester fishermen
Author John Morris will discuss “Alone at Sea: Glouc-
ester in the Age of the Dorymen (1623-1939),” his brilliantly
written account of the lives of Gloucester fishermen, when
he visits the Hanson Public Library on Saturday, March 12
at 12:30 p.m. Hailed by maritime historian Joseph Garland
as a “masterpiece that’s been waiting for generations to be
told,” “Alone at Sea” is a meticulous and riveting history of
the lives of Cape Ann fishermen. The nonfiction book de-
tails the danger and hardships that often faced these men, in-
cluding the author’s grandfather, a Gloucester doryman who
was lost at sea while working on the schooner, the Orethea
F. Spinney. For his book talk, Morris will focus on the years
during World War I, when Gloucester dorymen faced un-
seen enemies in the German U-boats that prowled the waters
off the New England coast. Following the presentation, Mr.
Morris will answer questions and sign copies of “Alone at
Sea,” which is available for purchase at the library. Light
refreshments will be served. To register or to get more infor-
mation, visit the Hanson Public Library, or call the Library
at 781-293-2151.

he congregation of All Saints Church in Whitman
completed the observation of the 100th anniver-
sary of the building of the church with a service on
Jan. 20 re-enacting the original consecration service, which
was held on Dec. 30, 1910.
  Fifty parishioners attended the service, which was
planned by the rector, the Rev. Patti Hale, using historical re-
cords, Common Prayer Rite One and the 1897 Book of Com-
mon Prayer. Assisting the Rev. Hale as officiants were lay
Eucharistic ministers Regina Gurney and Chip Durant, or-
ganist Craig Ahern and ushers Frazier and Ed Donadio. Hon-
ored guests were Mr. and Mrs. R. Wayne Legge.  Mr. Legge’s
great-granduncle is the Rev. Clayton M. Legge, All Saints’
first rector and builder of the church. The oldest processional
cross, and the original alms basins were used.  The proces-
sional hymn, as in 1910, was “The Church’s One Founda-
tion.” A complete history of All Saints Parish, written by
church historian, Richard Tingblad is to be published soon.

Neither the Panthers nor

get more than a two-possession
lead in 32 minutes of basket-
ball on Friday night, but when
the dust settled, the Panthers
left Rockland High School bat-
tered, bruised and victorious.

to break a 41-41 tie with 1:31

to hit their free throws down
the stretch to outlast Rockland
47-44 in a rough and tumble
game.
“It was physical, hard bas-
ketball between two teams that
get cranked up to play each
other,” head coach Jim Daley
said. “It was anybody’s game,
and we made some shots down
the stretch to hang on. I think
we worked really hard and
when we had to, we rose up.”
Kaley Mientkiewicz sank
a free throw with 47.3 seconds
left, and Michaela O’Neil came
up with a big rebound and went
right back to the line to widen
the Panthers’ lead to 46-41.

W-H looking for new head football coach
By Dave Palana, Sports Editor
dave@hansonexpress.com
The athletic director posi-
tion won’t be the only turnover
in the Whitman-Hanson ath-
letic department next school
year.
Whitman-Hanson princi-
pal Jeff Szymaniak confirmed
Tuesday that the high school is
taking applications for a new
head football coach.
Szymaniak said resumés
are currently coming in for the
position, which was posted on
Feb. 2, and a small committee
of himself, coaches, students
and the new athletic director,
when he or she is chosen, will
select the new coach.
Szymaniak said the de-
parture of head coach Sean
Clifford was “a personal deci-
sion.” Clifford, a math teacher
at Whitman-Hanson High
School, was not able to return
a call made by the Express
Tuesday morning before press
time.
Szymaniak also said that

Mackenzie Hatfield made one
of two from the line with less
than 20 seconds to play, which
forced Rockland to throw up a
desperation three as time ran
out instead of working the ball
inside
The 46-41 lead by the Pan-
thers was their largest of the
game and matched the largest
by the Bulldogs, who led by
five early in the fourth quarter.
The Panthers overcame prob-
lems rebounding the basket-
ball at the start of the game to

gave the Panthers a 25-23 half-
time lead, but turnovers on five
of their first six possessions in
the second half allowed Rock-
land to get back in front in the
third 34-32.
Hatfield gave the Panthers
the lead back with 2:51 to play
in the fourth with her third
3-pointer of the game, but
Rockland tied the game again
until Griffin put Whitman-
Hanson ahead for good.
“Mary Rose had a tough
scoring night, but she had the
poise to hit that jumper and
that’s how she is,” Daley said.
O’Neil led the team with
15 points while Hatfield added
13 to account for most of the
team’s offensive production.
The team hit a speed bump
on Saturday with a 52-42 non-
league loss to Sandwich, but
bounced back with a 43-35
win over North Quincy at the
high school on Tuesday.

16 points and five assists with
Griffin adding eight points
and six rebounds and O’Neil
scoring six and grabbing five
boards to help the Panthers get
back to .500.
“We’re thrilled about that,”
Daley said. “We’re very happy
to have all things equal.”
The Panthers also held
their annual Think Pink breast
cancer awareness fundraiser
at Tuesday’s game and raised
$600 to sponsor three Whit-
man-Hanson students for the
Susan G. Komen Walk for the
Cure.
“It was a very successful
day,” Daley said. “We were
very happy with our friends
from North Quincy who came
down and participated in the
event. It was a very competi-
tive game, but it was also a
friendly game because it was
for a good cause.”

fall to 6-7-1 on the season.
“It was still an inconsis-

to Hanover. “We need to be
close to perfect to win, and we
made some untimely mistakes
tonight. I thought we were fo-

the standings with a win. The
Panthers fired 10 shots on net
in the first period to no avail,
but Chris Boussy gave them
the lead at the 7:42 mark in the
second period off a pass from
behind the net by Phil Boussy
for the power-play goal.
However, a pair of break-
downs late in the period sent
Whitman-Hanson into the
locker room trailing by a goal.
A failed attempted by the Pan-
thers to clear the puck from
behind their blue line allowed
Hanover to tie the game with
1:26 left in the period. Ha-
nover then won the faceoff and
scored a five-hole goal in five
seconds to go up 2-1.
The Panthers got a break-
away of their own in the third
period to tie the game again
when Scottie MacArhtur sent
a pass to Chris Ryan all alone
to the left of the net for a one-
timer with 6:18 to go in the
game. However, Hanover
stunned the Panthers with the
game-winner with 45.2 sec-
onds left on the clock.
“We got better as the game
went on as far as our team
goes, but we made some criti-
cal mistakes as the game went
on — the type of mistakes we
were making earlier in the year,
and Hanover took advantage,”
Manning said. “We did some

WHP struggled to contain
the Rams’ big center Katie
Conlan early in the game. The

the game when she wristed a
rebound past Kelly Travers to
give the Rams the lead.
However, Marshfield’s
lead wouldn’t hold, courtesy
of Kelsey Murray. Murray
then gave WHP the lead with
her second goal of the night,
and WHP’s second line con-

but I think we let their goalie
use his hands too much. Our
focus tonight was getting the
puck down so we could have
some chances for second and
third rebounds, but we didn’t
get a lot of those tonight.”
The Panthers still had a
chance to pull into a tie with
the Titans for second place on
Sunday, but they found them-
selves down early when Shane
Bowen scored for Pembroke
in the first period. The Titans
up an assist on Carswell’s
score.
The team also got an emo-
tional boost with the return
of Sophia Nogueria, who had
missed most of the season af-
ter being injured in the first
game.
“It was great to have So-
phia back in the line-up as
she is 100 percent recovered,”
head coach Joe Coulter said.
“This is always a great time
in the season to have every-
one back, healthy and playing
very well as a team.”
WHP has six games left on
their schedule, five of which
are against teams they already

Another race,
another record
Distance medley team breaks
own mark at elite meet
By Dave Palana, Sports Editor
dave@hansonexpress.com
Gianna Cacciatore, Abby
Baker, Rachel Baker and Mel
Collins broke the 12-year-old
indoor track school record in
the distance medley relay at
the Division II relays in Janu-
ary.
The new record didn’t
even last one month.
The four Panthers broke
their own mark by 19 seconds
and qualified for nationals by
running the 10th fastest time
in the country this year at the
MSCTA Elite meet at the Reg-
gie Lewis Center on Sunday.
“The girls had a goal in
mind and they went out and
achieved it,” head coach Mike
Driscoll said. “These four are
extremely special athletes
who have taken WH track to
a whole new level.”
Cacciatore opened the race
with a 3:43 time in the 1,200
meters before handing the ba-
ton to Collins, who shaved
two seconds off her 400-meter
WHP returns to action with time from two weeks ago.
big win over Marshfield. “Mel has turned into one
tough runner,” Driscoll said
Page 23. of Collins. “When the heat is
on, she comes through. Gian-
na has worked her tail off to
be one of the best in the state
this year; hard work certainly
pays off.”
Abby Baker ran the 800-
meter leg in 2:23 before hand-
ing off to Rachel, who an-
chored the team with a 5:10
time in the mile.
“Rachel is on another
planet right now; she is one of
the top milers and two-milers
in the state,” Driscoll said.
“Abby is just incredible —
whatever event she runs from
the 400 up she is tops, she is
just awesome.”
The team finished second
to Wachussett, whose time
was the eighth fastest in the
country, and now gets set for
the Division II state champi-
onship on Feb. 19, where the
Panthers are hoping to qual-
ify runners and jumpers for
the All-State meet in several
events.
With all four runners
just in their sophomore year,
Driscoll said he expects even
most success from the group
going forward.
“Coach Erwin and Coach
Arouca have done an amazing
job with these girls; they have
taken them to the next level.
But the scary part is they are
just scratching the surface,”
he said.
