By Meaghan Glassett, Express Staff
Meaghan@hansonexpress.com
School officials broke
down the assessment for the
Fiscal Year 2011 budget dur-
ing the School Committee
meeting last Wednesday.
The budget school officials
presented to the two towns on
Jan. 30 was up four percent
from FY10.
Business Manager Sharon
Andrew said that to cut last
year’s budget, the teachers
and other school staff had a
furlough day, which saved the
district $132,000 and no tuition
reimbursement saved an addi-
tional $105,000. Other factors
that were cut from the budget
were technology replacement

ing a total of $450,000 (close
to one percent of the increase.)
However, for the upcoming
budget those cost savings will
all be put back into the budget.
Other expenses that will most
likely increase the budget are
health insurance, retirement
assessments and transporta-
tion. Transportation figures are
up $61,015 from last year.
Over $820,000 (1.75 per-
cent) of the budget is based
on contractual increases, she
said.

Officials breakdown budget
continued from page one
After a meeting with the
bus company, First Student,
they brought down their con-
tractual increase of three per-
cent to one percent, she said.
Andrew said having the
budget just go up one percent
affects the towns’ assessments
by 3.9 percent.
“For them to be able to
fund our four percent assess-
ment they would be up to
close to 13 percent,” she said.
She said that the numbers she
was presenting were for infor-
mational purposes only.
Historically, the school
district has been dependent on
Chapter 70 funding from the
state, but the state’s money has
not been increasing.
The project budget for
next year has 61 percent fund-
ing from the state, 20 percent
from Whitman and 16 percent
from Hanson.
“There were times the state
comes up with a lot more that
60 percent,” Andrew said. “As
their budget goes down the
towns have to pay more.”
The district has recently
received their per pupil costs
and they are spending approxi-
mately $10,000 per child. The
state average per pupil cost is
$13,000, Andrew said.
Andrew said with a combi-
nation of a revenue and budget
increase the district’s budget
would be down six percent.
However, the district is
expecting to receive transpor-
tation reimbursement.
Another factor that in-
creases the budget is special
education’s out of district
placements. Special Education
Director Mildred O’Callaghan
said last year the number of
students out of the district was
58 and now there are only 43.
“I’ve been bringing stu-
dents back into the district as
appropriate,” she said. “I think
in another year or two you will
see that number turn around.”
O’Callaghan said that the
number is a moving target.
For this year the district
is receiving 75 percent cir-
cuit breaker reimbursement
for special education, but that
number is project to be 42 per-
cent.
O’Callaghan said she is
working on a few ideas that
might lower special education
costs in the future.
“I do enjoy program de-
velopment,” she said.
In other business:
• The school district will
be beginning work on their
Strategic Planning this week.
• The committee voted to
accept a $100 donation from
Destination Imagination,
which will be held at the Whit-
man Hanson Regional High
School on March 6.
• The Panther Prowl re-
quest for March 13 has been
approved by School Commit-
tee members.

Driver found passed
out at gas pumps
Police arrested a man for drunk driving
Wednesday at Cumberland Farms on Bedford
Street.
At approximately 11:55 p.m. the Cumber-
land Farms store clerk reported that there was
a suspicious vehicle with a person in it parked
near the gas pumps, according to Deputy Chief
Scott Benton.
When officers arrived the vehicle was run-
ning and the driver appeared to be passed out,
Benton said.
The officers knocked on the vehicle’s win-
dows several times and were able to get a re-
sponse. After tapping on the roof of the vehicle
they were able to get a response from the driv-
er.
They ordered the male to turn off the vehi-
cle. Officers observed two liquor bottles in plain
view on the passenger’s seat. One of the bottles
was half empty, according to Benton.
Richard W. Kelleher, 40, of Brockton, was
arrested and charged with an OUI-liquor.

Davis S. Cutler, 66, newspaper publisher
D
avid Sumner Cutler, 66, of Dux-
bury, founder of Mariner News-
papers and publisher of the Ex-
press newspapers, died Sunday, Feb. 28 after
a seven-month fight against cancer. He died
surrounded by his family in his favorite spot
–– a fire-placed living room framed by hand-
hewn 18th century Duxbury timbers.
Mr. Cutler was the son of John Henry Cut-
ler and Roberta Sumner Cutler. He and his
twin sister were born on the Fourth of July,
1943 in Olathe, Kansas, where his father was
stationed with the Navy. In 1945, the Cutlers
settled in Duxbury year-round. An important
turning point in David Cutler’s life came at
not yet seven, when over a bridge game at a
neighbor’s home, his parents let themselves
be publicly goaded into promising to start a
respectable newspaper in Duxbury. Nineteen
days later, on May 11, 1950, the inaugural edi-
tion of The Duxbury Clipper appeared. In the
first sometimes tenuous years of The Clipper’s
existence, the observant young Mr. Cutler was
absorbing every aspect of the newspaper busi-
ness in the most intimate and practical way.
In September, 1957, Mr. Cutler entered the
class of 1961 at Holderness, a boarding school
in Plymouth, New Hampshire, where he was
captain of both football and baseball. He went
on to Colby College in Maine, where he was
again captain of the football team. Upon grad-
uating in 1965, Mr. Cutler went to work at The
Patriot Ledger as a beat reporter covering the
towns of Abington, Whitman and Rockland.
Fifteen months later, Mr. Cutler requested and
was granted a three-year leave-of-absence to
join the U.S. Marines.
In January, 1967, he went on active duty
and entered Officer Candidate School in
Quantico, Virginia. After six more months of
advanced training, Lieutenant Cutler was sent
to Vietnam, where he became commander of
a company stationed near the Demilitarized
Zone. On a night in March, 1968, Mr. Cutler
was pinned down while trying to rescue one
of his men. A North Vietnamese sniper bul-
let went through both legs. There was every
chance that he would bleed to death before
daylight. But one of the men pinned down
with him applied a tourniquet. He survived
the night and was rescued by helicopter after
sunrise. For his valor he received a Purple
Heart, a Navy commendation medal and was
later promoted to captain.
Mr. Cutler’s beat reporting had impressed
his editors, and when he returned to The Pa-
triot Ledger in 1970 he was appointed the pa-
per’s State House reporter. For the next two
years he plied the halls, covering the adminis-
tration of Gov. Francis Sargent.
In 1972, Mr. Cutler left the security of his
position at The Ledger to found The Marsh-
field Mariner with $1,000 in vacation pay
and a small investment by his partner, Mi-
chael Stearns. The Mariner was inaugurated
on April 13, 1972 and immediately became
Marshfield’s paper of record, richly chroni-
cling the town’s births, deaths and much of
what happened in between.
Two years later The Norwell Mariner ap-
peared, and over the next dozen years papers
sprouted in Scituate, Cohasset and Pembroke,
eventually spreading as far north to Braintree
and south to Plymouth. While the growing
company eventually prospered, there were
days when his primary meals were snacks
he pilfered from his own vending machines.
Along the way Mr. Cutler learned a few les-
sons about the business side of the newspa-
per business ––among them to avoid carry-
ing company checkbooks around in a green
garbage bag as they were once tossed in the
dumpster by a diligent cleaning woman.
When Mr. Cutler sold the company to

came with a five-year contract to continue to

something about the corporate world -- which
in the end reminded him too much of military

term taste. As was said in Roman times, better
to command a village than be number two in
Rome.

For all the native competitiveness that
fired the newspaperman, Mr. Cutler’s greatest
passion was his family. The love and support
of his wife and children during his final ill-
ness enhanced his natural inclination to look
at death with equanimity. Early in his illness
he said to an old friend, “My life’s work was
my family, and I’ve succeeded.”

David Cutler: 1943-2010
Fire prevention board revises alarm regulations
State Fire Marshal Stephen D. Coan and
Whitman Fire Chief Timothy J. Grenno want
to alert the public that if you are selling your
home after April 5, 2010, there are changes in
the state’s smoke alarm regulations for homes
with five or less units.
Chief Grenno said, “The regulation will
require that only photoelectric smoke detec-
tors be installed within 20 feet of a kitchen or
bath containing a shower, in order to reduce
nuisance alarms from cooking smoke or steam
that lead people to disable their smoke alarms.
Areas located beyond this 20 foot area will be
required to contain dual detection, both pho-
toelectric and ionization, using either a single
detector or two separate ones.”
Use of Technology to Provide Earliest
Warning of Fire: Smoke alarms use two main
technologies: photoelectric and ionization.
Photoelectric smoke alarms are more effec-
tive in detecting slow moving or smoldering
fire situations whereas ionization detectors are
slightly more effective in detecting fast mov-
ing fires. Coan said, “This change, requiring
the use of dual detection technology, provides
the best level of public safety by reducing nui-
sance alarms that lead people to disable their
smoke alarms and by providing the earliest
possible warning of a fire and therefore time to
escape to safety.”
Enforcement on Sale or Transfer
Are you planning to watch to Oscars on Sunday?

“Of course, I like to see the “I have plans on Sunday, so prob-
dresses.” ably not.”
The Express – Your Hometown Newspaper!
Send items for the
opinion page to
editor@whitmanexpress.com.
The Deadline for all
letters & commentaries
is Tuesday at noon.
The enforcement of the regulation will contin-
ue to take place when the residence is sold or
transferred. Homeowners selling their homes
after April 5, 2010 will have to meet these new
requirements.
Working Smoke Alarms Double Chances
of Surviving a Fire: “We must continue to up-
date our fire prevention code to keep pace with
evolving technology, knowledge of human be-
havior, and scientific research,” said Grenno
“I want to stress that working smoke alarms
greatly increase your chances of surviving a
fire.”
Carbon Monoxide Alarms: Since March
2006, all homes have been required to install
carbon monoxide alarms on each habitable
level in addition to smoke detectors.
For more information about smoke de-
tectors and carbon monoxide alarms, contact
the Whitman Fire/Rescue Department at 781-
447-7677, or visit the Department of Fire Ser-
vice’s website at www.mass.gov/dfs then click
on “Division of Fire Safety”. To help guide
homeowners and realtors understand the re-
quirements a new brochure “A Guide to the
Massachusetts Smoke and Carbon Monoxide
Requirements When Selling a One- or Two-
Family Residence” has been published and is
also available on the Department of Fire Ser-
vices Web site.

An evening with Princess Boo
I
n our family most formal babysitting missions go to
Herself, who is possessed of the hardwired “Grandma
gene’” along with all of the basic skills that requisite to
grand-mothering, plus the training of a registered nurse of several
decades experience. To see her in action you will recognize that
Herself has prepared all her life for this vocation. On many days
off she arrives at the kids’ house prepared with the makings of
dinner in hand, the boundless joy of spending time with four under
five that she knows she can leave with their parents at the end of
the day and a good chocolate chip cookie recipe.
This weekend we got an unusual mis-
sion, an overnight assignment so our young-
est and his wife could go out for a weekend
birthday celebration and not be concerned
with rushing home to relieve a babysitter.
Grandma immediately accepted the assign-
ment and issued orders and lengthy instruc-
tions to he assistant and faithful companion
that would be me. Grandpa is sort of a

rolled into one. I am qualified to assist, but not yet to solo in the
serious business of babysitting
the fearsome foursome. GETTING REAL
Nicknames are big in our family and we will use nicknames
in this story to protect the guilty. Our four charges are Bop, Boo,
Mad Dog and Eefie; respectively 5, 3 and 1-year-old twins. Also
throw in the faithful companion hound, code name Doo. The pack-
age here is at once great fun and a bit of a challenge if not in the
right mood. Bop spends his time spinning like an Olympic free
style skater or taking us under fire with his “blaster.” Bop likes
sci-fi. The twins Mad Dog and Eefie at one year are just becoming
interesting. They spend their time taking toys out of a basket or
eating anything and everything within reach that looks interesting
or palatable. Mad Dog will eat anything that won’t eat him. Doo
the dog stands by ready to clean up any leftovers that may fall his
way. Doo likes a tidy house.
The challenge was, is and probably always will be the Prin-
cess Boo. She was “to the manor born.” A split level in Marlbor-
ough may not exactly qualify as a manor, but we digress. Boo is
a princess and she knows it, even if her parents aren’t quite bright
enough to realize that she demands and deserves certain defer-
ence. The girl was born hardwired with certain feminine wiles that
equip her for dominance in her world. From birth she had a smile
and bright eyes that would turn Ebenezer Scrooge into a profligate
mall rat. When she wants something from Daddy or Grandpa she
has a way of standing with weight on one heel, turning the other
foot toe out, putting one hand on her hip and glancing up at an
angle while flashing a smile and fluttering her lashes.
Boo is stubborn as an Army mule, can assume a lip-biting
pout that would make Paris Hilton blush and in extreme cases
can go toe to toe with Bop in a cage fight. She can spend hours in
the time out penalty box and never give an inch. Her father never
gives in, but as soon as she’s out of earshot always mumbles “but
she’s sooo cute!” The princess also knows she can play Grandpa
like a violin. I’m always met with the flashing smile, the fluttering
eyelashes and a leap into my arms for a hug.
The princess spends her days playing with her, what else?
Princess dolls and figures, in her princess doll house or dancing to
Mom’s Lady Ga Ga CD, except cut 2 because it has bad words. At
three years she already has a bootie shake that has Daddy looking
at pamphlets for convents.
What else?
A weekend with the kids is magical. It’s time to play a game
or two, to make special treats in the kitchen and to make up some
stories about sorta-scarey monsters, noble hounds, brave young
princes and yes princesses. It’s also some time to be led on a
guided tour of the special world of children. You just have to give
up the silly world of adulthood for a while and let them take you
on their magical mystery tour. I like their world better. Good night
kids, sleep well. Doo the noble hound will watch over you all
night.

Cutler succumbs to cancer
Whitman Firefighters are hosting a Shamrock Party fund-

including the Hanson Express
which was founded in 2002 by
his son Josh.
From the beginning, Cutler Gifts for First Communion & Confirmation

written word.
“David’s writing was so
incredible. He was always
right on the mark,” said Paula
Maxwell, who worked with
Cutler as the managing editor
of the Clipper during the 80s Douglas Jewelers
and 90s. “He could get right

to the nub of the issue; he had
such a way with words.”
After college, Cutler
worked as a beat reporter for
the Patriot Ledger, covering

over the years, and included
17 weeklies when it was sold
to Capital Cities/ABC in 1989.
He later co-founded Stonebri-
dge Press, which operates pa-
pers in Central Massachusetts
and Connecticut, and Salmon
Press in New Hampshire. Cut-
ler was elected to the New
England Press Association
Hall of Fame in 2004.
Cutler, who had no formal
journalism or business training,
had an impact on scores of
young journalists throughout
his career.
“He filled that role of
mentor for literally hundreds
of young writers,” said Lane.
“I think that’s what he loved
so much.”
Of course, Cutler’s pres-
ence could be intimidating.
Such was the case for an aspir-
ing freelance journalist, Walter
Bird, who was told he’d have
to interview with the publisher
of the Southbridge Evening
News in late 1998. Bird was
initially nervous, and when
Cutler asked his trademark
question “What was the last
book you read?” all he could
think about was reading the
children’s classic “Goodnight
Moon” to his daughter. Cutler
burst out laughing, and Bird
David Cutler and his wife Catherine Cullen (center), surrounded by their blended family at their home
in Duxbury. Cutler enjoyed spending time with his family and especially his seven grandchildren.
Cutler imparted his core
ideas about community jour-
nalism to Bird.
“He taught me that the
news doesn’t happen at your
desk,” Bird said. “Community
journalism is just that, it’s
being out there. It’s about
pictures, getting people in the
paper –– it’s about covering
the community, not just
writing about it, but being a
part of it.”
Jane Lane, who worked
for Cutler at the Mariners and
other papers, remembered the
personal interest he took in his
employees.
“David got to know
everybody’s family, whoever
worked for him,” she said.
“There was nothing phony
about David Cutler, he was
genuine.”
“He was a very good guy to
work for,” said David Mittell,
Jr., a long-time friend. “He
was a master of being frank
and direct ... yet he was kind,
honest and considerate.”
Cutler served in the
Marines in Vietnam, where
he was wounded in the line of
duty while trying to rescue one
of his men. For his bravery he
was awarded the Purple Heart

Mittell later worked for
Cutler at the Marshfield

someone is at fault we try to
educate, not blame,” he said.
When comparing the Whit-
man Board of Health to other
towns, Duval said the board is
run smoothly.
He said that the board
members work well together.
Having experience in the
pharmacy business, Duval
said he understands what is
like to be on the other side of
the table.
Duval said this year the
board has worked diligently
to get the H1N1 vaccine out
to residents. When the vaccine
first arrived, the town was only
given 50 doses.
“We did the best we could
with what we had. We took ap-
plications and had to prioritize
people,” he said.
Duval added that the
members of the board and the
public nurses put in extra time
to administer the shots during
clinics.
This fall was also the first
time the Board of Health in
Whitman held a health fair.
Duval said it was a great idea
and it is definitely something
the board should consider try-
ing again next year.

Lemon were the longest serv-

health and community. Duval
said for the future he would
like to see the Board of Select-
men and the Department of
Public Works come up with a
better way to recycle trash, be-
cause the town’s recycling rate
is only 17 percent.
Duval said it has been a
pleasure serving on the board
and that he is very happy that
he was able to help out the
community that he has lived in
since 1960.

Remember, the larger the item, the lower price. Purchasing www.mclaughlinchevy.com
a larger can of tomatoes at full price might be cheaper than pur-
chasing two smaller cans on sale. Buying a large bag of shelf
stable items such as rice will be much cheaper than multiple
small boxes. I'M BAAACK!
When comparing prices use the shelf tag. Each grocery
item has a small tag with lots of information on it. The top left
corner shows the price “per unit” which is usually per ounce
or per pound. A jar of olives may come in various sizes and
prices. By comparing the per unit/per ounce cost on the olives,
you can make the most cost-effective choice.
Don’t assume that the best values can only be found at the
biggest stores. Smaller independent stores work hard to bring
quality and value to their customers and their employees are
generally more knowledgeable about the store, the sales and the
products.
Take a look at the bottom of your receipt where you the
“amount saved” totals can be found. Pat yourself on the back.
You just saved money on your grocery bill!

breath of winter and inhale a
big breath of hope? Maybe it’s
that the day light is increasing,

off your face.

crocus and daffodils will be
peeking out from under their
winter blankets, ready to wake
and meet spring. Ah, spring!
Another sure sign that
spring is on the way are the
March activities that have be-
come Conley school traditions.
By the time you read this, we
will have already celebrated
Dr. Seuss’s birthday and Read
Across America Day. This
year, we gathered together in
the cafeteria for a reading of
The Sneetches. The kids al-
ways enjoy the staff interpre-
tation of our favorite Dr. Seuss
stories, and this year was no
exception as staff members pa-
raded on stage, some as Star-
Bellied Sneetches and others
as Plain-Bellied Sneetches.
Guest readers, including Su-
perintendent Dr. Whitner and
former Principal Mr. Kenney,
visited classrooms to share
other Dr. Seuss books with ev-

ery classroom.
A staple in the doldrums
of March for as long as I can
remember has been the staff
versus student council volley-
ball game. We always have so
much fun. This year, the event
will take place in the Conley
gym on March 11. There’s
music, excitement, and yes,
quite a bit of competition! Be-
lieve me, everyone wants to
win! Mr. O’Kane has served
as the official referee and he
takes great pride in watching
the kids show off their volley-
ball skills.
One of our most successful
events for March is the PAC
sponsored basket auction. This
year, the auction will be held
on March 19 in the cafeteria.
Mr. Boyce has served as our
auctioneer for the last several
years. It is great fun for the
kids to see the baskets begin to
pile up in the library over the
next few weeks. Teachers and
students donate many of the
baskets that are auctioned or
raffled off that evening. Our
PAC has done a phenomenal
job with this event over the
years to be sure that everyone
has a chance to go home with
something. Our former prin-
cipal, Mr. Kenney would auc-
tion off an afternoon out with
him that included golfing and

If you have any questions
about the testing, please call
your child’s teacher before
testing dates. We feel that we
have given the students plenty
of opportunity for practice and
that they are ready. Ask your
child how he/she has been pre-
paring for MCAS. Talk to your
child about test taking strate-
gies or how an Open Response
question should be answered.
Let your child be the teacher.
As always, please make
sure your child has a good
breakfast every morning, but
especially on a test taking day.
Healthy snacks and a good
night’s sleep are all essential
components to assuring that
your child has every advan-
tage. Most importantly, rein-
force that the MCAS test is a
great opportunity for students
to show what they know.

In a tumultuous week-
end of action, the Whitman-

tasted both the sweetness of
victory and the bitterness of
defeat. In a hard fought game
last Thursday night, the Pan-
thers beat the Dartmouth Indi-
ans 55-50. On Sunday after-
noon, they lost to the Newton
North Tigers 63-57 and were
