out of the Victorian era, it’s all
the little details that will trans-
port audiences to 1880s Bos-
ton while they sit watching the
world premiere of “Sadie and

The Hanson Recreation
Drama play is the latest pro-
duction to grace the Camp
Kiwanee stage, arriving at
Needles Lodge for six show-

and again on March 25, 26 and
27. Show times are 7:30 p.m.
on Fridays and Saturdays and
3 p.m. on Sundays.
The original play, written
by Hanson native Andrew Ber-
tino, tells the story of Sadie, a
young orphan who goes looking
for her past in a remote Massa-
chusetts town and uncovers a
mystery — young women are
turning up dead, and the hunt


is on for their killer.

Bertino, who also is the
play’s director, said he wrote
“Sadie” specifically with local
talent in mind.
“Lately, we’ve done a lot
of comedy-musical sort of
things, so I thought it would
be fun to switch it up with a
darker thriller,” he said. “We
have a specific age group de-

write it with our age group in
mind.”

into his fourth year at the helm of the depart- No real estate transactions.
ment. He sat down with the Express recently to
talk about what he likes about the job and the
challenges that come with it, including manag-
ing a tight budget.
How long have you been with the Han-
son Fire Department? I came on as a call fire-
fighter in 1989. In 1993, I was promoted to a Sunrise/Sunset
full-time firefighter, after I worked for the Wa-
ter Department for one year. In 1997, I became Sunrise Sunset
a lieutenant, and then in 2007 I got promoted to Fri. Mar. 4 6:13 a.m. 5:36 p.m.

within our budget. Mon. Mar. 7 6:08 a.m. 5:39 p.m.
Where do you stand with personnel — Tues. Mar. 8 6:07 a.m. 5:40 p.m.
are you fully staffed right now? We had one Wed. Mar. 9 6:05 a.m. 5:41 p.m.

right now. Then we had another person resign,
and we filled that position. We also have to fill

hired as a call firefighter.

Teague from our call department [to fill those
positions]. They’re in the academy now; they’re
going to get out on March 25. They start the next
week. Obviously, being down that one person
really hurts us. That leaves us with a shift with
only three people. Even though we have four
on a shift, we’ll drop down to three people be-
fore we have to refill, so on that shift whenever
anybody’s out — whether they’re sick, injured
or whatever — it costs money to backfill that.
We were told to present a level-funded budget,
and that’s still without that person in it.
How many people do you have in the de-
partment when you’re fully staffed? We’ll
have 16 full-time, plus myself. Then we have
only about five active call firefighters. We had
more — some left, but we also just hired two as
full-time firefighters. I have to replenish them.
The only reason I haven’t is because instead of
hiring them right now I’m planning on using
that call money if I run short on the full-time
side to transfer it over to make it throughout
the year. It’s just a juggling act to make it all
work. We don’t have a deputy chief; the deputy
chief retired in 1987 and they’ve never filled
that position. We have four lieutenants, so on
each shift there’s a lieutenant.
Are there any safety hazards you watch
out for this time of year? This time of year,
one of the major concerns for us would be kids
trying to go out on the ice when we have the
thawing and refreezing.
What kind of community outreach pro-
grams do you have? We have public educa-
tion, where we go out to the schools. From pre-
school to fifth grade, it’s a structured program,
and that’s funded by the SAFE program, which
is from the state of Massachusetts. We go out
and we have key fire safety behaviors that we
teach to each grade. Fifth grade’s a review and
we do a big poster contest. We bring the win-
ners up in the truck in the basket. We’re going
to be going up to Meetinghouse Lane to do a
program for the people that live there.
What do you like about the job? We have
a small community, so it’s nice. I like working
in the community that I grew up in. It’s a small
town; you kind of know everybody. That’s an
advantage but it also can be a disadvantage be-
cause a lot of times the guys or myself will go
to a call where it could be an emergency where
one of their loved ones are really sick or in an

those people. If you worked in a town that you
didn’t live in or a big city you might not be con-
nected with the victim, but in Hanson we’ll run
into those people. It’s just a great job being able
to provide a service and help people.
Is there something your department
handles that people may not realize? Pretty
much if somebody has an issue or a problem,
they call us. It could be an animal in the house
or anything. And that’s what we’re here for, just
to help them and if we can’t assist them we’ll
put them in touch with the person that can as-
sist them.
How is the department doing on equip-
ment and facilities? We have a capital plan in
place, and one of the big things that I’ve put in
all my cover letters is that, even though we’re
in tough times, the town needs to focus on the
infrastructure and addressing the capital plans,
because the longer we put them off, the further
behind we’re going to be. The building itself is
over 30 years old; we’ve had the roof replaced.
It could use some modernization, but it’s not
bad. The parking lot’s beginning to become an
issue; it’s on our plan. We are fortunate enough
to get a new ambulance probably in April; that’s
purchased with money from the ambulance ac-
count. But we do need some equipment that’s
been in our capital plan that needs to be ad-
dressed — like portable radios and one of our
engine trucks should be replaced.
Our goal is to provide the best service we
can with the money the town gives us for per-
sonnel and equipment. We’re going to do the
best we can, but on the same note, we’re trying
to educate and inform them of where it should
be. There’s all types of different standards that
we don’t meet. It’s tough. Up until October
2008, our minimum was two people on duty,
so even though we had a shift of four, if two
people took the day off we wouldn’t fill it;
there’d just be two people here. Working with
the Finance Committee and the selectmen, I
was able to obtain additional funding, around
$85,000, so now since October 2008 our mini-
mum is three people, so we never drop below
three, which is a huge step, especially in the
times that we’re in. It was a huge step in the
right direction to get where we need to be. It’s
acceptable to be at that level for maybe five,
six, seven years and then maybe try to keep

Costumes help set stage for 1800s ‘Sadie’
continued from page one
Hansel and Gretel, Bertino
said.
“This fairy tale mash-up
thing is kind of big right now,”
he said.
Joining Bertino behind the
scenes on “Sadie” is fellow
Whitman-Hanson Regional
High School alumnus Neil
Fortin, who is designing the set
and costumes. Kelly Rindone
is the play’s production co-
ordinator, and the team has a
group of volunteers helping to
transform Kiwanee’s Needles
Lodge for the show.
Both Bertino and Fortin
have worked on Hanson Rec.
shows for many years, getting
their start as actors in shows
produced by Wes and Joanne
Blauss while they were in
school. After graduation, the
pair returned to Kiwanee to
produce summer shows after
their freshman and sophomore
years of college. They have
worked together on shows such
as “Cyrano de Bergerac” and
“The Pirates of Penzance.”
It was while working on
“Cyrano” that Fortin first
started delving into costume
design.
“My mom’s a fantastic
seamstress, and I grew up in
an art world and really got in-
volved with the costume side
of things,” he said. “The last
few productions that we’ve
done, I’ve started to do the
costumes for them. I really
started to sew more things that
are a little more complicated
— we had corsets last year for
all of our women, and this year
we’re doing the whole 1800s
bustle dress style, which is a
lot of cloth and a lot of work,
but to really nail the period,
that’s what you need.”
His work on the shows has
led Fortin to pursue a graduate
degree in costume technology,
and given him several items
to include in his grad school
portfolio. He has applied to
several schools and plans to
start classes this fall.
“I think it’s really interest-
ing to be able to tell a story in
clothing, and in sets and lights.
Theater really lends itself to a
lot of creativity,” Fortin said.
“I love being able to take
something 3D and tell a story
with that.”
For Fortin, it’s not just
the clothes’ design but also
the history behind them that
makes them interesting.
“It kind of ties into my his-
tory background and under-
standing periods and social his-
tory, why women had to wear
all this stuff [in the 1800s]. It
was to keep them closed in and
quiet and meek, and that’s just
so fascinating to me that that
happened and people just went
along with it,” Fortin said.
“They’d wear corsets every
day. That’s ridiculous, because
they’re so uncomfortable and
they’re so restricting, but you
look at what was happening

die and the Seventh Son.”

during that period and it kind
of explains itself.”
Currently working in col-
lege admissions for Went-
worth Institute of Technology
in Boston, Fortin said after the
graduate program he hopes to
do freelance work, creating
costumes for both theater and
film productions, and eventu-
ally to teach costume design.
“I’d really like to be back
in the college atmosphere.
Working where I am now, I
love higher education; I love
that feeling, I love the energy
from the students. To be able
to teach and be a professor in
costume design or technology
would be awesome,” he said.
Fortin said he is thankful
for the opportunity to work in
community theater over the
years, where he discovered his

passion for costume design.
The Hanson Rec. shows are
truly collaborative, involving
people from all over the com-
munity.
Locals in leading roles in
“Sadie” include Britney Sier-
eveld as Sadie, Paige Cameron
as Amelia, Paul Bouzan as In-
spector Nolan, John Mahoney
as Sheriff Parr, Sean Mahoney
as Lee, Kevin Cameron as Ga-
len and Sue Blauss as Brydie,
plus a supporting cast of about
20 more.
“It’s people from all over
Hanson — so it’s our mailman,
teachers, our garbage man, and
a lot of students. It’s a really
good community event, and all
the money goes back to Camp
Kiwanee for restoration,” For-
tin said. “What’s cool about it
is it’s so collaborative. If we
need props, everybody goes
to look for them. If we need
staging materials, everybody
goes and buys a little bit, so it
tends to be a really nice way to
get a lot of people involved in
something with a big outcome
at the end.”
Fortin said “Sadie” is
one of the most elaborate
productions the group has
done. Though parts of the set
are simple, it also includes a
hand-built 15-foot extension
for the stage, complete with
trap doors, staircases and a re-
volving jail cell.
The costumes, too, are
pretty elaborate — with lots
of fabric, intricate details such
as buttons and embroidery,
bustles and boning to give the
dresses shape and pleats —
lots and lots of pleats, Fortin
said.
“The mood we wanted is
kind of a haunting, slightly
spooky feel,” Bertino said.
“I tend to write more cin-
ematically than for theater, so
there’s a lot of short scenes,
there’s a lot of people coming
in and out. So we needed it to
be less about ‘this is the place
3
where that scene takes place,’
and more like, OK how can
we get a bunch of different
entrances and exits. The set is
more of an abstract thing.”
Bertino, too, is building
off his experience with the
Hanson Rec. productions as he
looks to the future. Currently
working as a videographer for
a music Web site, Bertino said
he eventually would like to try
writing movie scripts.
“I would love to try to
tackle a script or two, to write
a couple of screenplays and
see where that goes,” he said.
As for what audiences will
get this time around, Bertino
promises suspense, drama and Volunteer Tina Siereveld helps
an overall fun time. (He and hang material on the set of “Sa-
Fortin are advertising the show die” during a work day at Camp

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

In these days of ever increas- Getting real

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

Read said. There is conserva-

the conservation agent will be
present at the start of demoli-

The town administrator
did not go into detail about the
plans but said the owner was
looking to develop a mixed-
use site, with 12 residential
units as well as commercial
use on the site. He said the
planning was expected to take
about six months and that the
owner would need to apply
to the Board of Appeals for a
special permit and to the Plan-

Also Tuesday, the se-

to waive the town’s right to
purchase an affordable hous-

cording to state 40B rules, the
affordable unit must first be
advertised locally for a deter-
mined affordable resale price.
If no one expresses interest in
the property, the town has the
option of buying it to keep it
as affordable housing stock.
As of Tuesday, after the
unit had been advertised for
the allotted amount of time,
no one had expressed inter-
est in the property, according
to selectmen’s assistant Merry

the town to receive any pro-

Read Across
America Week
”Oh, the Places You’ll
Go,” the title of one of Dr.
Seuss’ many books, is espe-
cially meaningful this time of
year at Maquan School. As
a young child, teenager, or
adult, the places that one can
visit through books are never
ending, intellectually stimu-
lating and exciting! Reading
is always a favorite activity in
the building, enthusiastically
instructed and encouraged
by teachers and staff. But, as
we say good-bye to Febru-
ary and usher in March, even
more focus is given to the joy
of reading. March 2 marks
the birthday of Dr. Seuss, the
ever-popular children’s au-
thor. Who has not, as a child
or parent, had a chuckle while
reading some of Seuss’ silly,
crazy stories? The week of
March 7-11 is “National Read
across America Week,” with
special reading events occur-
ring throughout the building.
School committee members,
the superintendent of schools,
and Hanson community mem-
bers from various town com-
mittees and businesses have
volunteered to take time from
their daily schedules to share
their love of reading with the

dents as they perform their
annual reenactment of “Green

encouraged to become lifelong
readers, there is no limit to
the people they will meet, the
places they will visit and the
experiences they will live. To,
once again, quote Dr. Seuss:

• 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.

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

tained offense in the Duxbury

end.
“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

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.
Corey Gibbons has been such
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
learn from it.”
The Panthers now have a
couple of weeks to rest before
they get ready to begin their
spring track season. While
the team had some bad luck
on Saturday, Driscoll said it
didn’t put a damper on what
was one of the most successful
indoor seasons in the history
of the girls track program.
“It was a great season,” he
said. “These are some special
athletes who really love track.
They are great for our pro-
gram and they are just going
to continue to grow. It’s a lot Nicole Galewski takes off in the long jump. Galewski advanced
of fun.” from her 26th-place seed to finish eighth at All States.
