Algae worries
close Oldham
Pond activities on hold until
state test results come back
By Becca Manning, Express Staff

The Town Landing may not
open as scheduled this week-
end, as the Board of Health
elected this week to close Old-
ham Pond to recreational ac-
tivities until results from state
tests come back clean.
A representative from the
Massachusetts Department of
Public Health planned to come
out to the pond Wednesday to
test for the presence of toxins
produced by cyanobacteria
—  commonly called blue-
green algae  — which, at cer-
tain levels, could be harmful
to pets and humans who come
in contact with it.

A visit with Liz Spurr
Pembroke resident co-chairing local Relay For Life
T

Express Contributor
he American Cancer Society calls
itself the “official sponsor of birth-
days.” They can make this claim be-
cause of the work they have done finding cures
through investing in research and providing
support for cancer patients. One of the ways the
organization raises the funds to do their work is
through the Relay For Life, an all-night event
where teams camp at a Relay site and walk all
night. The event, which began in 1985 with a
single person, Dr. Gordy Klatt, has grown into
a nationwide event. Pembroke’s Liz Spurr is the
co-chairman of this year’s event at Marshfield
High School.
What is Relay For Life? It is the American
Cancer Society’s signature fundraising event. It
lasts 18 hours with teams of eight to 15 people
having a member walking for the entire time,
switching walkers each hour. The teams begin
fundraising in January and can raise money
through Aug. 31. This year’s event is at Marsh-
field High School, around the football field. It
is June 25 and 26 from 3 p.m. until 10 a.m. on
Saturday morning. We have several theme laps
throughout the night like crazy hat lap and back-
wards lap. We also have a trash lap where the
walkers wear one trash bag and pick up trash in
another. The person who picks up the most trash
wins a prize.
We also have several ceremonies over the
night. At 5 p.m., we have a survivor/caregiver
reception. It is a free dinner catered by Long-
horn Steakhouse. We encourage anyone who is
a caregiver or survivor to join us to celebrate
more birthdays, which is our overall theme, that
you cannot have too many birthdays. Jeanette
Gunther does an amazing job on this. The open-
ing ceremonies occur at 6 p.m. Our luminary
ceremony is at 9 p.m., where we have a silent
lap and luminaries are lit to remember those who
have battled with cancer and those who we have
lost. Saturday at 9 a.m., we have our Fight Back
ceremony where people say what they are going
to do over the next year to fight back against
cancer. There is always something going on.
How did you get involved? What is your
role for this year? I actually started doing the
Relay in Hanover, which is where I grew up.
After I lost my brother to brain cancer, I went
to an event and found out what it was about. We
had a team for our family. I joined the commit-
tee the next year. I helped relocate the event to
Marshfield seven years ago and have been doing
it ever since. I am one of the co-chairwomen
for this year. Pembroke has gotten a lot more
involved in the past, which is exciting for me
being a Pembroke resident.
Events of this size take a significant com-
mitment from many people. Who is assisting
you in this? Deb Cornwall, from Marshfield
is my co-chairwoman. We are doing so many
things that we haven’t done in the past and have

New perspective for North third graders
Elementary school program teaches students how senses can overwhelm kids with autism
N
By Becca Manning, Express Staff

orth Pembroke
third graders took
on a different per-
spective last week in an ac-
tivity that showed them how
children with autism might
experience taste, touch, smell
and sight.
The activity was sponsored
by Arc of Greater Plymouth,
a nonprofit organization that
provides support programs for
people with developmental
disabilities and their families.
At one station, students
could put on either a blindfold
or a pair of glasses with plas-
tic wrap over the lenses. They
wore them for a few minutes
and then were told to remove
them quickly and, without
blinking, to gauge how much
the bright light affected them.
At another station, students
placed baking soda on their
tongues for 10 seconds, then
took a sip of water and noted
how sensitive they were to the
taste. The activity drew quite a
few grimaces.
“It teaches their peers, the
kids that they go to school with,
what it feels like to be autistic
as far as sight, smell, tastes,
feelings, emotions,” said De-
nise Bullock, whose son Mi-
chael Currie has autism. “If a
child has an outburst, it’s not

always because they’re upset
about something; it’s because
they can’t communicate what
they want to say to you.”

Algae concerns lead to
temporary pond closure
continued from page one
Blue-green algae has been
present on the pond for several
seasons, and the Pembroke
Watershed Association has
been actively pursuing a treat-
ment plan to deal with it.
The company Aquatic
Control Technology was hired
to treat the pond and was all set
to move forward with copper
sulfate treatments last spring,
but the project was delayed
when the Natural Heritage
and Endangered Species Pro-
gram required further study to
determine whether a rare spe-
cies of mussel lived there. The
Watershed Association footed
the $4,800 bill for the study,
which was done by the com-
pany Biodrawversity.
In October, the state re-
turned its verdict: the Eastern
Pond Mussel did exist in the
pond, and copper sulfate could
negatively affect it.
Since then, Aquatic Con-
trol Technology has been pur-
suing alternatives, including a
peroxide algaecide called phy-
comycin, which will be five to
10 times more expensive than
the copper sulfate treatments,
according to Pembroke Wa-
tershed Association president
Ray Holman. The state has not
yet approved or denied this
plan, but even if it is approved,
Natural Heritage will require a
follow-up study of the mussel
to make sure the chemical is
not harming it.
Tired of waiting to hear
back from Natural Heritage,
Pembroke Watershed Asso-
ciation members contacted
State Sen. Therese Murray and
State Rep. Dan Webster to see
if they could help move the
project along. Both responded
with support, but the project
remains on hold.
When the algae returned
around Memorial Day, Oldham
Pond resident Doris Mann con-
tacted Vanessa Yandell from
the state Department of Public
Health, whom she had spoken
to last year regarding the issue,
along with Health Agent Fred
Leary. Mann e-mailed Yandell
photos of the algae.

uniform and everything — we
just got an orange T-shirt. My
point is: Joining Cub Scouts
started me on a long journey.
I learned a lot about the
world and nature through Cub
Scouting. Most memorably,
what happens when a skunk
comes into a campsite late at
night, that the green grass in-
deed grows all around, and
that Akela was cool. After
three years, I had hit Webelos.
Let me tell you —  that was
fun, even though there were
five kids in my den, and one
Webelos den. Also, my first
year, we had to merge with
the older Webelo den, as there
was one kid in Webelos II. I
was introduced to pins that
featured some of my favorite
things like nature and theater.
Webelos was a great transition
phase. I was out
of the learning
phase, but not
yet into the inde-
pendence asso-
ciated with Boy
Scouts.
Then, in
2006, I crossed
over into Boy
Scout Troop 43.
I’ve had a lot
of fun over the
past years. I’ve
cooked countless meals, per-
formed in some awesome skits
and done some amazing things.
I’ll outline a few things for
you. Who has ever cooked their
own meal? Now, who has ever
cooked a meal outside? Now,
who has ever cooked a meal
on top of a mountain after get-
ting lost while hiking up it? I
can proudly say I have (except
I’m not too proud about the
getting lost part). That’s only
one of my many adventures.
I love skits! They may be
my favorite part of Scouting,
besides camping. Where else

tubing. I’ve gone away to
summer camp for seven days,
I’ve bicycled up and down
the Cape Cod Canal, and I’ve
done C.O.P.E. —  aka Chal-
lenging Outdoor Personal Ex-
perience. Think an obstacle
course, but 10 times bigger
and requiring team coopera-
tion and innovative thinking.
It’s great. Another amazing
thing we did was help build
Birch Street Park. I just think
it’s so cool. Every time I drive
by and see kids playing on it,
I think, “Wow, I helped create
that.”
Lastly, all these adven-
tures would not have been as
great as they were if it wasn’t
for the people involved. I’ve
made some unforgettable
friends that I have made some
u n f o rg e t t a b l e
memories with.
For example,
there was the
time at sum-
mer camp when
one other Scout
and I stayed up
until midnight
because I was
telling him his
future. There
was another
time when my
brother, another Scout and
I were in a tent when a bug
broke it. Or the time at summer
camp when there was a flash
flood and I entertained myself
and another Scout by singing
Schoolhouse Rock songs for
at least half an hour. There was
also the time my brother, an-
other Scout and I were think-
ing up a scary story in order
to scare the newer Scouts. We
never actually told anyone, but
that’s beside the point. One
more, there was the time the
whole troop sent a Christmas
tree down the river at Lud-
dam’s Ford, just so we could
watch it go over the falls.

Duxbury Assisted Living Resident
enjoys company of Fellow Residents,
Activities and Basketball
B efore moving to their contemporary
apartment at Allerton House at The
Village at Duxbury in 2007, Joseph
(Joe) McDermott and his late wife,
Barbara, were separated from their two
daughters and two of their grandchildren
by a four-hour drive from Howard Beach
in Long Island, New York to Boston’s
South Shore. Although their son, James
and his family remain in Long Island,
daughters Barbara and Dorothy are now
just minutes away in Duxbury and
Kingston. Joe says, “We actually came and
looked at the place back in 2005. “One of
our sons found out about it and thought it
would be great for us. When we finally did
move almost three years later my wife was
very happy here.”
Always an athlete, Joe excelled in baseball
during high school and college, and
landed a job in 1940 at
Pfizer Inc. as a result of his
baseball talents. He recalls,

“Industrial
baseball was
big back in
those days, so
they hired me

player. The
deal was I had

promote
employee loyalty and provide
entertainment back then.” As it turned out,
Joe worked for Pfizer for 44 years until he
retired in 1984.
Joe also served in the United States Air
Force for four years. Being drafted into
military service actually led to his
relationship with, and ultimately his
marriage to Barbara. He explains, “I was
seeing someone else when I left to serve in
the military, but she wrote me a ‘Dear
John’ letter. My older brother’s wife told
me about a friend of hers who would be
happy to correspond with me. That friend
turned out to be my ‘Babs’. She was an
angel.” He got back to the States in 1946,
proposed to Barbara on Christmas Eve,
and the two were married just six months
after his return.
Joe recently celebrated his 91st birthday
and is happy to report that he enjoys
spending time with friends and engaging
in the variety of activities available at
Allerton House—most notably the ones
that keep his athletic skills sharp.
He says, “We have all sorts of activities.
For example, I enjoy the Fitness Center.
I usually participate in the chair exercise
class and I like to shoot baskets.”

Class in the great outdoors
Students explore nature at Willow Brook Farm Preserve

hird graders are
pausing to smell
the skunk cabbage,
listen to the birds and explore
the natural side of Pembroke
this spring, with guided walks
through Willow Brook Farm
Preserve.
The nature preserve, lo-
cated along Route 14 in Pem-
broke, contains 73 acres of
fields, forest and wetlands for
residents to explore and has
offered a natural classroom for
students from Pembroke, Ha-
nover and Norwell for more
than 10 years.
“It has so much to offer,”
said Jean Kut, a naturalist with
South Shore Natural Science
Center, which coordinated the
program. “Within two hours,
you can walk through all these
different habitats, and there’s a
lot to see. It’s really a gem of a
property.”
Kut, along with fellow nat-
uralists Louise Beaudry and
Paul Graycar, have been lead-
ing students on tours of the
preserve this spring. On Fri-
day, June 4, it was Hobomock
Elementary School’s turn.
The program, which fea-
tures a two-mile walk through
the nature preserve, is funded
through grants from state and
federal environmental protec-
tion agencies and the Sheehan
Family Foundation as well as
by local PTOs, businesses and
private donors.
The third graders visit the
site twice a year.
“They’ve seen the area in
the fall and they’ll be compar-
ing it to the springtime — the
different animals that are here,
different sounds they’re going
to hear, different things grow-
ing,” Kut said.

Pembroke woman to host
open women’s gathering
continued from page one
“I said I have a yard, I have
a space, now how can I make
this into something for women
and the community, keep the
cost down, and really make it
about women helping wom-
en?” Jones said. “That led into
a bunch of women saying they
were on board.”
This spring, Jones start-
ed an online women’s group
through Facebook, called
“Mom’s Time Out” (Boston-
South Shore). There, she
shared information about do-
mestic violence, resources for
moms, event listings and is-
sues related to women and en-
couraged other women to join
in the conversation.
The group has grown from
about 14 members to close to
400, and has helped Jones find
volunteers to get her inaugural
South Shore Women’s Gather-
ing off the ground.
On Saturday from 3-8
p.m., Jones will open her Sun-
set Way home to women of all
ages, from teenagers up (sorry,
no men or young children al-
lowed). The gathering will be
held in the backyard of 188
Sunset Way, under a tent do-
nated by a local company, and
will feature all-female ven-
dors, artisans and business-
women, music and food. Any
proceeds, including vendor
fees, will be donated to Jane
Doe Inc., which is the umbrel-
la organization for the Mass.
Coalition Against Sexual As-
sault and Domestic Violence.
“The goal is basically to
raise money and awareness
for Jane Doe,” Jones said of
the event. “You can guarantee
that some women that come
here are in a domestic violence
relationship. It’s one in five
women that it affects – and
that’s just what’s reported.”
“It’s going to be a really meaningful gathering for women to
feel good about themselves and to just kind of cut loose and be
with other women — shop, eat some great food, listen to great
music, just good networking and meeting genuine, down-to-
earth people. As long as you’re female, you’re invited.”
— Gretchen Jones on the inaugural South Shore Women’s
Gathering planned this Saturday in her backyard
Each woman is asked to
bring a potluck dish and bev-
erage to share, or a $5 dona-
tion to Jane Doe Inc. Jones
hopes to have a representative
from Jane Doe there or will
speak briefly about the orga-
nization herself. There also
will be a free community table
with books, clothes and other
items.
“I’m hoping that this is
the birth of something great-
er. I hope it’s the birth of ac-
tually creating a South Shore
women’s festival, an annual
festival every year — that can
be moved out of my backyard
into a public, pretty outdoor

Gretchen Jones stands in her backyard with sons Aidan, 6, and
Benjamin, 3, where she will host the first South Shore Women’s
Gathering on Saturday. The event is open to all South Shore
women, from teenagers up, and will feature food, music and all-
female artisans and vendors.
setting somewhere,” she said.
“This is the grassroots way
of getting somewhere. I had
to start somewhere, and I’ve
got the yard — that’s all I
needed.”
Currently a graduate stu-
dent at UMass Boston, Jones
said she was inspired as an
undergraduate student there
by her women’s studies pro-
fessor, Chris Bobel.
“For the first time in my
life, I walked out of her class-
room thinking how proud I
was to be a woman. I didn’t
know how many opportuni-
ties I really had,” she recalled.
“She really opened my eyes
to thinking it’s OK not to just
think in black and white, be-
cause when you start to think
in the gray areas, that’s when
really positive things start to
happen.”
Her newfound perspective
and draw to activism led to
plenty of opportunities, as co-
chairwoman of the Women’s
Center at UMass Boston for
several years and work with
groups like Jane Doe, the Bos-
ton Area Rape Crisis Center,
RAINN and others.
She began to work as an
advocate for women dealing
with domestic violence and
other relationship issues.

That work led to other
opportunities. With a theater
background, Jones landed a
role in the Eve Ensler play
“The Vagina Monologues,” a
collection of true stories both
humorous and serious that aim
to empower women, while
covering big issues such as
rape and incest.
Jones acted in the play for
several years and then was
asked to direct the college’s
spring 2009 production. She
chose “The Vagina Mono-
logues,” again raising money
for Jane Doe and an organiza-
tion that helps women in Af-
rica.
Though she loved the city
and credits Boston for provid-
ing many life-changing mo-
ments, Jones and her husband,
Kevin, decided they wanted
their two young sons — Aid-
an, 6, and Benjamin, 3, to be
raised and attend school in a
suburban setting. The couple
settled on Pembroke.
Now, Jones is hoping to
bring her work from the city
to the South Shore — starting
with the event on Saturday.
“It’s going to be a re-
ally meaningful gathering for
women to feel good about
themselves and to just kind
of cut loose and be with oth-
er women — shop, eat some
great food, listen to great mu-
sic, just good networking and
meeting genuine, down-to-
earth people,” she said. “As
long as you’re female, you’re
invited. Hopefully men won’t
be picketing outside. They
have their day the next day
[Father’s Day].”

a two-mile trail through the

“Emerald Necklace” — a 200-

Kingston Bay to Newburyport.
The new path will meet up with

once that trail is completed,
creating a 25-mile loop that
allows hikers to stay on the

could meet up again with the

“At the present time, the

Save money, water in local contest Historian to speak at library

T
his summer, Pem-
broke Boy Scouts,
Girl Scouts, church
groups, garden clubs, base-
ball teams, neighborhoods,
friends and anybody else who
wants to team up are invited to
join Pembroke’s Water Chal-
lenge, sponsored by the town
of Pembroke in conjunction
with the Greenscapes program
at the North and South Rivers
Watershed Association. The
winning team will earn $500
for the charity of their choice
and will learn some valuable
water-saving tips during the
challenge.
“We came up with idea of
a summer water-conservation
contest to draw attention to the
fact that, in summer, water use
generally doubles, just when
droughts tend to occur,” said
Debbie Cook, Greenscapes
manager and North and South
Rivers Watershed Associa-
tion communications director.
“Ironically, as we demand
more water for activities like
lawn watering, our reservoir
levels can drop to very low
levels, and streams often don’t
have enough water to support
migrating fish.”
Cook said participating in
the challenge is simple.
“The Water Challenge ba-
sically is a contest between
teams to see which team can
use the least amount of water
per person between July 15
and Sept. 30. The most water-
conserving team will win $500
for the charity of their choice,”
she said.
Teams can be any size
beyond a minimum of five
households. Individuals who
want to participate can join the
Greenscapes team.
Every few weeks during
the contest, each team will re-
ceive water-saving tips to help
lower water consumption.
“I think everyone will be
a winner, whether they win
the $500 or not, because they
hopefully will all save money
on their water bills,” Cook
said.
To sign up or learn more
about the Water Challenge, go
to nsrwa.org and click on Wa-
ter Challenge, or call Debbie
Cook at 781-659-8168.

on gas money, and $7 for the
commuter rail is cheaper than the
parking garages in Boston. Also,
it would save time because
I wouldn’t have to look for a
parking spot in Boston.”
Debra James
Country Club Circle
“No, I would not take advantage
of a free or inexpensive shuttle
for myself, as I am always in a
rush and waiting for a shuttle
would most likely cause delays. I
also like the convenience of hav-
ing my own car and not needing
to adhere to a schedule.”
Erik Schoumaker
Edgewater Drive
“I would take advantage of the
shuttle since I could probably get
a job in surrounding towns and
not have to get a car.”
Jim Dwyer
High Street
“I would use the shuttle
because I wouldn’t have to use
my own gas and put mileage on
my car. I would save money on
parking and it would help the
environment.”
Devin Foley
Four Winds Drive
“I think it would be good for
people who don’t have their
licenses yet and want to go to
Boston. The shuttle would be
useful for teenagers whose
parents won’t drive them
to the train stations.”

Community spirit
T
he staff and students at Pembroke Community Mid-
dle School outdid themselves during Spirit Week last
week, collecting thousands of items to donate to local
charities, including a record-breaking $5,031.50 in the Penny
Drive to benefit Pembroke native Matt McClune, who was para-
lyzed in a car accident last fall. With a different style theme each
day, the seventh and eighth graders brought in the following:
1,149 toiletry items for the DOVE shelter; 2,565 items to send
to troops through the Pembroke Military Support Group; 4,732
items of clothing for Big Brothers Big Sisters; and 1,434 food
items for the Pembroke Food Pantry. The week culminated in a
physical challenge in which five teams, all dressed in their team
color, enjoyed some healthy competition.

Hall’s field event team-

Titan Sports
A true New England Classic
RIDERS ON THE STORM: Megan O’Shea, Tess Walter and Marissa Fichter stare out at the gray water and foggy sky before they take to the surf at the New England
Longboard Classic at Nantasket Beach on Sunday morning. Temperatures barely cleared the 60s, but more than 130 surfers turned up to brave the water. Photo by Dave Palana

ast year, Pembroke
resident Chick
Frodigh couldn’t
have had better conditions
for his New England Long-
board Classic surfing contest
at Nantasket Beach. This year,
conditions couldn’t have been
worse.
Where highs were in the
high 80s last year, tempera-
tures may have scraped the
low 70s on Saturday, but only
for a couple of hours. Fog and
clouds made the day as gray as
the cold water that only true
New Englanders would dare
to surf.
And surf they did.
More than 130 people of
all ages hit the water at Nan-
tasket to make this year’s tour-
nament a success in spite of
Mother Nature.
“We had a good turnout,”
Frodigh said. “As far as waves
go, this could have been one of
the worst ones ever. Last year
was one of the best, so nature
balances it out. These people
are great. They just come here
for the stoke, and that’s what
it’s all about. The kids seem to
enjoy it, and that’s why we do
it. This is what we would have
wanted when we were kids.”
Attendance was still down
this year, but Frodigh took
the brunt of the responsibility
for that. The surfing network
across New England is still
largely word of mouth, and
Frodigh said this year’s con-
test just snuck up on him.

“It’s normally about 20 to
60 more people, but I didn’t
put much into it this year,” he
said. “It’s a hard thing with
surfers because there is not a
central location to get all the
information, so I call guys, but
I missed a lot this year.”
Nevertheless, there were
still some new faces at Nan-
tasket of Saturday, including
Pembroke resident Colby Ty-
ler, who turned up to judge and
to surf.
“I’ve been surfing at Nan-
tasket for the past three years,
and it’s a small culture,” Tyler
said. “I found out by word of
mouth. Not a lot of people be-
lieve you can surf the North-
east, but you definitely can.”
Hall goes out on top
Senior star wins New Englands
By Dave Palana, Sports Editor
dave@pembrokexpress.com
It’s not as thought Berke-
ley Hall needed to put an ex-
clamation point on her amaz-
ing track career at Pembroke
High School — but could you
expect anything less?
After spending four years
taking the Pembroke track
program to new heights, there
was no better way for Berke-
ley Hall to end her days as a
Titan than becoming the first
New England champion in
school history.
The Dartmouth-bound
Contestants then warmed
