last October to veterans’ agent,

him to interact with veterans
on a daily basis, ensuring that
they receive the benefits they
are entitled to for their service.

Pembroke will pay tribute to
all those who gave their life
in defense of their country, in-
cluding his son, Marine First
Lt. Brian McPhillips, recipient
of a Bronze Star for bravery in
battle who died a hero on April
4, 2003 in Iraq.
How long has your fam-
ily been in Pembroke? We
moved here in 1980. Brian was
born in Concord, where he is
buried. We eventually moved
to Pembroke. [My wife] Julie
researched the schools; she
liked it and we moved here.
The first place we made a
home in Pembroke was on the
baseball field. Brian really en-
joyed playing baseball. I was
on the Recreation Commission
as chairman for a while. I was
also on the board of Pembroke
Youth Baseball.
What is the role of the
veterans’ agent? Lots of
things I didn’t even consider
when I took the job. Massa-
chusetts really takes care of its
veterans. When a soldier gets
home, they get a bonus from
the state. We help them fill
out the forms for their bonus,
help them apply to school or
find out about other benefits.
Some return with disabilities,
and they need assistance in
getting help from the VA. We
also help widows of veterans
reapply for benefits when their
husband passes.
Pembroke has over 1,000
veterans living in town. Every
year through federal funds, $2
million will come to the vet-
erans in Pembroke. My office now, they are coming back to

DPW gravel plan on hold U

ZBA hearing on Monroe St. project tabled for lack
of quorum; application may be withdrawn in June
By Becca Manning, Express Staff
becca@pembrokexpress.com
Neighbors will have to
wait another few weeks to find
out what Department of Pub-
lic Works commissioners plan
to do with a town gravel pit on
Monroe Street.
The commissioners were
scheduled to appear before
the Zoning Board of Appeals
Monday night for a contin-
ued public hearing on their
proposal — to crush gravel
on site and then clear out the
property for good —  but the
hearing was postponed until
June 14 because the Zoning
Board was short a member.
The board may not have
much to consider at that meet-
ing, as DPW commissioners
submitted a request to with-
draw the application on Mon-
day.
“Alternative plans and
funding sources will be re-
viewed and brought forward
when completed,” commis-
sioners wrote in their request.
More than 78 neighbors
turned out to the first hear-
ing on May 3, arguing against
plans to crush on site the 4,000
cubic yards of materials taken
from roadway projects and
dumped at the corner of Mon-
roe and School streets over
several years.
Neighbors questioned the
health hazards of the gravel
dust, increased traffic and
other issues that could arise if
the crushing activity were al-
lowed.
DPW Commissioner Jim
Kilcommons told residents
that the activity had been done
for many years on an annual
basis and that it was only over
the last three to four years that
crushing had stopped and the
materials had piled up.
Initially, DPW commis-

1/2 stick (1/4 cup) butter, cut into small pieces

(the dough will be soft and sticky). Cover the bowl with plastic
wrap, set in a warm place, and let the dough rise until double in
bulk, about 1 hour. Stir it down with a wooden spoon and add
about 2 more cups of flour, 1 cup at a time, to make dough that
can be kneaded with ease. Turn out on a floured board and knead
until velvety smooth and very elastic; press with the fingers to AZha^ZEgdjam8jiaZg!B#6#!AB=8

that the surface is thoroughly covered with butter. Cover and put
in a warm, draft-free place to rise again until doubled in bulk.
Punch the dough down with your fist, turn out on a lightly
floured board, and let rest for several minutes, until you are able
to roll it out to a thickness of 1/2 inch. Cut out rounds of dough
with a round 2 or 2 1/2-inch cutter or with a water glass dipped
in flour. Brush the center of each round with melted butter. Take
a pencil and make an indentation in the center of the circle, with-
out breaking the dough. Fold over one third of each round and
press down to seal. Arrange the folded rolls on a buttered baking
sheet about 1/2 inch apart. Brush with melted butter and allow to
rise until almost doubled in size. Brush them with the egg wash
and bake in a preheated 375-degree oven until lightly browned.

One step for Matt McClune

Boston College High
School football coach and
MBX Gym personal trainer
Matt McClune, 24,
a Pembroke
native, was
driving to
work on an
early Sunday
morning in October when
his truck hit a large pothole,
causing it to roll over. Be-
cause of this accident, Matt
is now a quadriplegic.
Matt spent three months
at Boston Medical Cen-
ter and is now down at the
Shepherd’s Center for Spinal
Cord Rehabilitation in At-
lanta, Ga. Mom Joanne Mc-
Clune, a guidance counselor
at Pembroke High School,
reports Matt is doing well
and may be coming home in
the next few weeks.
A fundraiser in support
of Matt is scheduled for Sat-
urday, June 5 from 6:30-10
p.m. at BC High. All
proceeds will go
the McClune
family to help
pay for rehab,
home renova-
tions, vehicle and
other expenses. The fund-
raiser will include dinner
and an auction. There will
be guest performances by
a BC High band, a DJ and
auctioneer and a few other
surprises.

Murray kicks off re-election bid
I
n a show of support
for Senator Therese
Murray, more than 200
people gathered at Plimoth
Plantation to kick off Mur-
ray’s re-election campaign.
On Friday, May 14, support-
ers cheered on Murray as she
talked of her continued com-
mitment to the people of the
Plymouth and Barnstable Dis-
trict.
“Being your champion
and your voice on Beacon
Hill is a tremendous honor,”
Murray said. “With your help,
I can go back to Beacon Hill

The crowd was welcomed
by Kingston Collector of Taxes
Pricilla Palumbo, and Murray
was introduced by  Pembroke
Selectman Greg Hanley.
Talking about what Murray
brings to the district Hanley
noted, “What I really like about
her is the fact that she provides
quiet leadership. If you look at
who she is and how she’s con-
ducted herself as a manager of
the state, I think she’s been a
tremendous asset.”

Foundation gearing up for JettRide 2010
continued from page one
Drennan is one of about
25 teenagers who will be par-
ticipating in JettRide 2010, the
second cross-country bike ride
sponsored by the Jett Founda-
tion. Founded in 2001 by Pem-
broke residents Stephen and
Christine McSherry, the Jett
Foundation is named for their
son, Jett, then five years old,
who was diagnosed with Duch-
enne muscular dystrophy. The
ride aims to raise awareness of
Duchenne, a genetic disorder
characterized by rapid muscle
degeneration that affects about
20,000 boys across the United
States.
Drennan’s family is friend-
ly with the McSherrys and her
younger brother Jared partici-
pated in the first JettRide.
“My brother’s really quiet
and doesn’t talk a lot about
stuff, but when he came back he
shared all the stories from the
ride. He was so excited about
it,” she said. “When I first heard
him say he was going to ride, I
was like, ugh, what a waste of
a summer. But he loved it, and
the three girls from Pembroke
who rode had such an amazing
time. I picked up bike riding af-
ter that. It’s one of my favorite
things to do now.”
Now done with high school
and ready to head off to Phila-
delphia University in the fall,
where she will major in fashion
merchandising, Drennan said
she thought it was a good time
to do the JettRide.
“I thought, might as well.
I’m not really going to get the
chance to do it ever again,” she
said.
Connecting for a cause
Drennan and the rest of
the JettRiders — including
tour leader Arlen Hall of Bike
Eternity, who led the ride in
2007 — will leave San Fran-
cisco around June 24, heading
east to Denver, Colo., then up
to Kansas City, Mo., to Cincin-
nati, Ohio, and ending in Point
Pleasant, N.J. around Aug. 27.
“The 2007 JettRide created
a national outreach for us,” said
Christine McSherry, Jett’s mom
and executive director of the
Jett Foundation. “Since then,
we’ve been working closely
with other families and other
organizations from here all the
way out to California, and we
thought if we did the JettRide
again it would be a really nice
way to unite everybody across
the country as we go.”
The ride is a fundraiser
— each rider must raise $4,000
both to cover expenses and to
help out the foundation — but
it is mainly about raising aware-
ness about Duchenne muscular
dystrophy, McSherry said.
For the 2007 ride, McSher-
ry’s daughter Jordan, then 14,
shouldered a lot of the responsi-
bility and media attention as the
only sibling of someone with
Duchenne. This year, McSherry
hopes to have other Duchenne
family members participate in
every leg of the journey.

Neighbors: Housing project
too close to Tubbs Meadow
continued from page one
Though specific house de-
signs have not been finalized,
Grady said the homes would
have a maximum of four bed-
rooms each with basements
and separate septic systems.
Most of the 10 lots are about
40,000 square feet, with three
lots a little larger, including a
150,000-square-foot lot that
would provide a “retreat-like”
setting, accessible by a long
driveway running between the
bogs. An existing home and
outbuildings at the front of the
property near Monroe Street
would be razed, Grady said.
Residents questioned how
close the houses would be to
a walking trail along the outer
edge of nearby Tubbs Meadow
Preserve, which is on town-
owned land.
Grady said the trail was 20
feet away from the property
line at its nearest point.
“Is it going to be visible
[from the path]? Certainly dur-
ing the wintertime when there’s
less vegetation,” he said. “This
time of year, it’s probably go-


ing to become less visible.”
Grady said the plan was to
leave a thick tree buffer on the
outer edge of the development
and to try to maintain most of
the larger hemlock trees that
lie along Monroe Street. The
project will require consider-
able leveling and also calls for
a drainage easement to allow
for stormwater drainage into
the old bogs, Grady said.
The engineer will need to
appear before the Conserva-
tion Commission to determine
what impact the project might
have on local wildlife and wet-
lands, though Grady said early
studies show the project would
not negatively affect the envi-
ronment.
“We’ve submitted informa-
tion to the Conservation Com-
mission showing them that
there are no estimated habitat
areas on the property and no
certified vernal pools; in addi-
tion, there doesn’t appear to be
any non-certified vernal pools
on the property either,” Grady
said.
But neighbors disagreed.
“I go walking in Tubbs
Meadow every morning,” Cen-
ter Street resident Raul Ybarra
said. “I’ve spotted fisher cats.
I’ve seen coyotes, foxes, blue
herons, turtles. All that is go-
ing to be impacted. There is a
tremendous amount of habi-
tat.”
Center Street resident
Cathy Crowley said she also
visits the preserve frequently
and has seen a variety of rare
plant and animal species there.
“I’d like to protect the
conservation land,” she said.
“I’d hate to see anything go.
It’s a beautiful place. There’s
plenty of other land out there
Pembroke Express – Your Hometown Newspaper!
*
and plenty of homes al-
ready for sale.”
Twelve-year-old
Ryan Gaiser, a Boy
Scout with Troop 105,
said he came Mon-
day to protect Tubbs
Meadow.
“I’ve only been to
Tubbs Meadow once,
but I loved it there. I
just had the time of my life,”
he said. “I came out here to-
night to protect it as best as I
possibly could.”
When the Planning Board
asked for public comment,
Gaiser raised his hand.
“Why do you want to build
on a place that’s so hard to
build on and so full of wild-
life when you could just build
somewhere else that isn’t so
full of wildlife and is really
easy to build on?” he asked the
engineer.
Planning Board member
Brian VanRiper explained that,
while the board could set con-
ditions to protect neighbors
and ensure the project was
done correctly, it was the prop-
erty owner’s right to develop
his land.
“We don’t have a silver
bullet that says, ‘Gee, we wish
we could protect all these open
spaces around town,’” Van-
Riper said.
If the property had been
taxed as agricultural, the town
would have had the right of
first refusal if it was sold and
no longer used for that pur-
pose, he added.
Gaiser’s Scoutmaster,
David Skolnick, also spoke
on behalf of preserving the
area around Tubbs Meadow
—  where many Scouts from
both Pembroke troops have
completed their Eagle proj-
ects.
“I can’t say how strongly I
feel this is against the best in-
terest of those Scouts and their
families, how increasing the
encroachment on Tubbs Mead-
ow reduces the biodiversity of
the area, reduces the value of
the Tubbs Meadow Preserve

CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW? PHS Principal Ruth Lynch and School Committee members Ginny Wandell
and Patrick Chilcott listen to instructions from Carole Glass, head of the foreign language depart-
ment, during a review of the high school language lab on Tuesday, May 18.

School Committee tests high school language lab
By Becca Manning, Express Staff
becca@pembrokexpress.com
Though their French and
Spanish was a little rusty,
School Committee members
and administrators returned
to the student’s seat last week,
testing their speaking and
listening skills in Pembroke
High School’s state-of-the-art
language lab.
Installed in the spring of
2006, the Sanako Lab 300
seats 30 students in individual
booths equipped with a com-
puter monitor and headphone/
microphone sets. Using the
Sanako software package, stu-
dents can practice speaking the
language, listen to a playback
of their words, record a group
conversation, use a “telephone”
feature to talk with students
across the room or get one-on-
one feedback and assistance
from their teacher seated at the
front of the room.
“We really want our stu-
dents to be communicators in
a second language,” said Car-
ole Glass, French teacher and
head of the foreign language
department. “There is a lot to
be said for reading and writ-
ing — they’re important skills.
But what I care about, some-
times more, is communicating
and speaking, and that’s what
we practice here. We can’t do
that in a traditional classroom
the way we can do it here.”
The lab provides a way for
students anxious about speak-
ing in front of the class to
practice their skills individu-
ally, Glass said.
The lab is used daily by
French and Spanish classes
of all levels, typically once a

week per class, with advanced
placement students coming in
more often.
Not only can students pre-
pare for their AP exams in the
PHS lab, but they also can
take the exams there —  giv-
ing them a confidence boost,
Glass said.
With larger classes, the lab
allows teachers to better fit in
a group speaking activity.
“If you have a class of
30 and you’re in a traditional
classroom and you want to do
a speaking activity, it’s really
challenging,” Glass said. “It’s
really hard time-wise, space-

wise and volume-wise. You
can do that same activity in
here and it’s more meaningful
to the kids.”
The lab was part of what
drew Glass to the job at Pem-
broke two years ago, she said.
For years, the focus has
been on reading and writing in
a foreign language, but recently
educators have turned more at-
tention to the speaking side af-
ter realizing that students were
graduating unable to speak and
understand the language.
“My fear is the kid who
graduates from Pembroke High
School and says, ‘I took four
years of fill-in-the-language,
and I can’t say anything,’”
Glass said. “To me, this lab re-
ally allows us to change that.”

Youth get hand-off from Pats
Patriots, State Police celebrity softball match-up ends in tie, raises money for programs
I
By Melissa Parmenter
Express Contributor
t was a battle of the best
last Sunday down at
the Mattakeesett Street
Baseball Complex —  a slug-
fest between the New England
Patriots Alumni and The Mas-
sachusetts State Police.
Hosted by three of Pem-
broke’s youth sport organi-
zations — Pembroke Youth
Baseball, Pembroke Youth
Hockey and The Pembroke Ti-
tan Football and Cheerleaders
—  the event drew a crowd of
over 200 people.
The Patriots line-up in-
cluded current players #15 Isa-
iah Stanback, #11 Julian Edel-
man and #64 Mark Levoir and
Patriots alumni #38 Roland
James, #99 Steve DeOssie,
#99 Vernon Crawford, #28
Jim Bowman, #34 Robert Per-
ryman, #90 Garin Veris, #58
Matt Chatham and #44 Corwin
Brown.
The state police line-up
included Paul Dunderdale ,
AJ Viera, Shawn Harris, Matt
Thielker, Jim Duchini, Cal
Butner, Jamie Silvia, Rudy
Torres, Tony Spencer, Mike
Harney, Peter Cook, Charlie
Kane, Brian Anderson and
Bobby Brooks.
The Patriots certainly came
to win after suffering an ago-
nizing loss to the Mass. State

them right to the end, and I
am proud of these kids.”
The Titans scored the first
two runs of the game with
fundamental baseball. Negus
doubled to lead off the third
inning, went to third on a
grounder to the right side by
Derek Staples and scored on
a sacrifice fly by Indelicato.
The Titans padded their lead
in similar fashion in the sixth
when Luke Nagle blooped a
single over the head of the
third baseman and was bunt-
ed to second by Chris Hol-
land. Flynn pinch ran with
Pat Malloy, who scored on a
single by Connor Noonan.
“We did exactly what a
good baseball team does,”
Flynn said. “I have to give
credit to Eric Haughn, who
played here two years ago
and is a sophomore at Stone-
hill. He came by and threw
batting practice yesterday so
the kids could see some good
pitching, and I think it helped

football heroes or the men and
women who help protect and
keep safe the great state of
Massachusetts?
In the end, it was a tie — a
suiting way to finish the game,
all winners.
Each team dug in deep
with diving catches, homeruns
and line drives, keeping the
fans in the stands on the edge
of their seats. For every Patriot
homerun and RBI scored, the
state police matched and added
one or two more on top of it.
The scoring momentum
came in the sixth and final in-
ning. With the score, MSP 11,
Patriots 8 and the Patriots up to
bat, Stanback hit for a double.
Brown came up to bat a sin-
gle, moving Stanback to third.
Chatham then drove a single
up the middle allowing Stan-
back to score.
DeOssie then popped one
way out to deep center field,
driving in Corwin and Chatham
and tying the game 11-11. Up
to bat, Levoir hit one down the
left field line, moving DeOssie
to third. It was the last Patriot
at bat, Jim Bowman. He got the
base hit, and DeOssie scored,
allowing the Pats to take the
lead to end the top half of the
last inning, 12-11 Patriots.

lice’s — and Pembroke’s own
— Bobby Brooks stepped up
a lot.”
Flynn also thanked this
year’s senior class, a mix-
ture of league all stars, key
role players and team lead-
ers. Staples earned an all-star
spot this year despite spend-
ing most of last year on the
bench, which Flynn said was
a testament to his work eth-
ic.
“I can’t say enough
about him – he will be sorely
missed,” Flynn said. “And
our other all star, Chris Hol-
land, is the kind of kid you
want to marry your daughter.
I remember him as a fresh-
man over at third base and I
knew he was going to be all
right.”
Flynn also wished Nick
Indelicato luck with his fu-
ture hockey career and said
he was glad to see Malloy
and Brian Harrison finish
their high school careers
with the team after not play-
ing last year.

the third base line bringing

Prizefight goes to Boxers

Brockton stages comeback to end Titans’ season
By Dave Palana, Sports Editor
dave@pembrokexpress.com
Wednesday afternoon’s
baseball game between the
Titans and the Brockton Box-
ers at Campanelli Stadium
was everything a baseball fan
would expect from two teams
both needing a win to make
the postseason.
baseball
Pembroke 2
Brockton 3
Both teams made game-
changing defensive plays
and aggressive base running
choices and gambled with
their defenses. There was well-
executed small ball, dramatic
home runs and heartbreaking
bleeders.
“It was a great high school
baseball game,” head coach
Bob Flynn said. “The team
that batted last was going to
win.”
Unfortunately for the Ti-
tans, the Boxers had the home
field advantage.
Brockton scored the win-
ning run with two outs in the
seventh inning to come back
from two runs down in the
sixth inning to beat the Titans
3-2 and end any hopes of the
Titans returning to the MIAA
tournament.
Pembroke seemed to es-
cape sticky situation after
sticky situation. Starter Matt
McCartney stranded a runner
at third base with one out in
the fourth, and after Zack Apo-
theker chased him from the
pitcher’s mound with a two-
run homer in the sixth, saved
the game by throwing out the
winning run at the plate from
left field.
“Matty could have gone
out there and hung his head,
but he didn’t and he made a
great play,” Flynn said. “They
played as hard as they could.”
The Titans almost escaped
the bottom of the seventh with
the score tied after a walk and
an error put Brockton runners
on second and third with no
outs. The Boxers tried a sui-
cide squeeze, but their batter
blocked catcher Matt Negus
from tagging the runner from
third and was called for batter
interference and the lead run-
ner was ruled out. Reliever
Kevin Plant then got the sec-
ond out of the inning without
the winning run moving from
second to third, but a slow
roller just out of the reach of
second baseman Mike Martin
died in shallow center, too far
from center fielder Nick Indel-
icato for him to throw out the
winning run at the plate.
Just like that, the season
was over.
“We played as hard as we
could,” Flynn said. “We played Catcher Matt Negus leaps to catch a throw from center fielder Nick

Pressure drop
Girls tennis locks up second
place with win over Blue Devils
By Dave Palana, Sports Editor
dave@pembrokexpress.com
It’s been a rocky road for
the girls tennis team this year,
but at least they can go into
their last match of the season
knowing they are headed back
to the MIAA tournament —
win or lose.
girls tennis
Pembroke 3
Randolph 2
The Lady Titans defeat-
ed Randolph 3-2 at the high
school on Monday to improve
to 8-8 in Patriot League play
and lock up second place in
the Fisher Division, which
guarantees them a spot in the
postseason.
While a single match de-
cided the outcome, the Titans
locked up the victory quickly
with thirds singles Maggie
Harrington and the doubles
teams of Laura McConarty and
Lisa Higgins and Kim Higgins
and Elise Famiglitti winning
their matches fairly quickly.
First singles Sarah Winn and
second singles Erin Scroggins
battled in longer matches, but
came up short.
“The girls fought pretty
hard for those matches,” head
coach Meredith Fogarty said.
“They all played well.”
The playoff trip will be the
fifth straight for the Titans, but
one of the most difficult in that
span. The losses of league all
stars Eden Marrano and Ni-
cole Wetherbee left the team
without any true first and sec-
ond singles players and forced
captains Winn and Scroggins
to shoulder a hard burden
against some of the best play-
ers in the state.
“They’ve taken one for the
team,” Fogarty said. “Most
teams have superstar kids [at
those positions] and, especial-
ly Sarah at No. 1, her record
doesn’t reflect how far she’s
come as a player. They’ve had
the hardest job on the team.”
Winn, Scroggins and Mc-
Conarty were all part of the
team’s senior day festivities
prior to the start of the match
Monday. Fogarty praised Winn
and Scroggins for stepping
into those big holes at first and
second singles, and called Mc-
Conarty “a rock” in doubles.
“Without her, we would
not be in the tournament,”
Fogarty said. “[She and Lisa
Higgins] have done very well
this year. They’ve been consis-
tent and they’ve come up with
some big wins.”

Dark horse again

Boys looking for strong showing at D-III
By Dave Palana, Sports Editor
dave@pembrokexpress.com
Last year, a little luck and
personal bests helped the Ti-
tans boys track team shock Di-
vision IV by winning a share of
the championship. They may
not be the big underdogs they
were last year, but head coach
Jim Rooney is hoping the same
scenario plays out again this
Saturday at Oliver Ames when
Pembroke goes for the Divi-
sion III crown.
The Titans had one final
tune-up last Saturday at the
Last Chance Meet at Notre
Dame Academy, where they
got their 4x800 relay team a
qualifying time. The Titans
now have 13 athletes slated to
compete in the D-III meet, in-
cluding all three relays, giving
the team plenty of chances to
make the similar charge to the
top they did last season.
Rooney expects senior
captain Bobby Gratzer to be
the top seed in the discus as
he has the longest throw of the
year among Division III East
schools. Kris Horn also sports

the fourth longest triple jump
in D-III this year. On the track,
Brendan Adams and Ryan Kel-
ley are in the top five in the
two-mile while Paul Cina and
Wesley Gallagher are in the
mile top 10. The 4x800 team
is also the second fastest on re-
cord this year.
“We’re hoping to at least
be in the top three, and a few
guys have a good chance of
winning their events,” Rooney
said. “Randolph and Bishop
Feehan are at the top, but if we
have a great day, who knows
what will happen. We have a
good group of kids going.”
Regardless of whether the
team takes home more hard-
ware on Saturday, Rooney said
the main goal is to keep the
season going into the All State
meet next week. Anyone with a
top-four finish in an event gets
to advance to All States, and
Rooney hopes the Titans will
send another big delegation.
“Our major goal is to get
as many people to the All State
meet as we can,” he said. “I’ll
be pretty happy with that.”
