A six-year-old boy was
recognized by the Hanson Fire
Department and the state fire
marshall at the selectmen’s
meeting Tuesday for his quick
actions during a medical emer-
gency last week.
Christian “C.J.” Silva, a
kindergartner, called 911 on
Feb. 10 and told the emergen-
cy communications center he
needed an ambulance for his
mother, Leigh-Ann Silva. The
rescue workers were unaware
of the age of the boy making
the phone call.

After ending the phone
call, Silva put his dog, Abigail,
in her crate and waited patient-
ly at the door for emergency
personnel to arrive.
Upon arrival, the firefight-

door by Silva. He directed the
rescue workers to his mother
who was in distress, according
to Chief Jerry Thompson. Af-

Locals play extras in box
office hit ‘Shutter Island’
By Meaghan Glassett, Express Staff
Meaghan@hansonexpress.com
Three Hanson residents
went to Patriot Cinemas Sat-
urday in hopes of catching a
peek at themselves on the big
screen.
Jeff Kent, Andrew Bertino
and Jim Hickey were all extras
in Martin Scorsese’s “Shutter
Island.”
Kent can be seen within the
first five minutes to the movie
when the United States Mar-
shalls (played by Leonardo
DiCaprio and Mark Ruffalo)
arrive on Shutter Island to in-
vestigate a patient’s disappear-
ance. When the Marshalls are
driving up to the gates Kent and
another guard were stationed at
the gate. During the scene the
Marshalls are told they cannot
bring their firearms into the in-
stitution and Kent takes their
firearms from them.
Kent was cast as one of the
hospital guards for the institu-
tion as well.
“Overall it was a good ex-
perience,” he said. “I felt very
fortunate to be asked to be a
part of a theatrical production
on such a large scale.”
Kent and Hickey waited in
line for four hours during the
open casting call, which took
place in January 2008.
Kent said that when he
went to the casting call there
was no specific part he was
looking for.
Kent was also in the scene
where DiCaprio and Ruffalo
characters try to make their
way into a mental instituation
after a hurricane had taken
place and many patients es-
caped. Kent was a guard sta-
tioned on the roof of Ward C
looking for escapees.
To film his scenes, he was
called back 23 separate times
to shoot at the Medfield State
Hospital grounds.
“There was a lot of down
time involved too, which goes
with the territory,” he said.
Since the filming of “Shut-
ter Island” Kent has joined the

Webster sponsors new legislation
State representative Dan-
iel Webster released this stat-
ment last week, “In response
to a recent Supreme Judicial
Court ruling regarding the
dissemination of lewd and
sexually explicit material via
electronic communications, I
am sponsoring legislation to
provide further protection for
minors under the state’s ob-
scenity law, An Act to Prohibit
the Electronic Transmission of
Harmful Material to Minors.
In the matter of Common-
wealth v. Zubiel, the SJC ruled
in favor of a child predator
who had been sending sexu-
ally explicit content through
online communications. Cur-
rent law states that whoever
knowingly possesses with the
intent to distribute or actually
disseminates obscene material
to a minor can be punished.
Subsequent to a review of
the statute and its legislative
history, the Supreme Judicial

Court stated that the Legisla-
ture must intervene in order
to update the law to ensure
that children are provided the
highest protection from poten-
tial offenders. However, the
state’s obscenity laws as cur-
rently written, are limited to
“handwritten or printed mate-
rial”.
Under my proposal, the
legislation would expand the
Commonwealth’s obscenity
statute by prohibiting the dis-
semination of harmful material
to a minor via instant messag-
ing or other online commu-
nications. According to the
ruling of the court, instant
messages and other forms of
electronic communications are
not considered to be “printed
materials” and therefore not
prohibited by the Common-
wealth’s obscenity laws. I am
particularly concerned that the
current version of the state’s
obscenity statute has not been

updated to reflect the changing
patterns of electronic messag-
ing in today’s society.
These are complex and
challenging times we live
in. Passage of this legislation
would further protect our chil-
dren from predators seeking to
electronically disseminate ob-
scene material. This is a com-
mon sense approach to address
a very serious issue at a time
when instant messaging, the
internet and social media net-
works are increasingly utilized
across a variety of demograph-
ics.
Furthermore, I am happy
to report that this proposal has
already garnered bipartisan
support in the House of Repre-
sentatives with both my Repub-
lican and Democrat colleagues

Something has gone
very wrong
W
e don’t mean to seem some mythical seer atop
Mount Olympus reading the entrails of some
sacrificial pigeon and chanting the portents of
gloom and doom, but something has gone very wrong in our
country. The recent kamikaze attack by a middle class software
engineer on the IRS facility in Austin, Texas is symptomatic of
something much deeper than this one incident. We can not just
write this off as a social aberration by a deranged individual,
although he certainly was disturbed and may not be excused
from taking innocent life.
This was no disaffected loser as Tim
McVey of Oklahoma bombing fame, or a
paranoid nut as Amy Bishop at the Uni-
versity of Alabama. This was a middle
class, educated, family man from one of
the most patriotic areas in the nation who
snapped, burned his house to the ground
“so the IRS could not seize it, gassed up
By Emory Maddocks his airplane and flew it into the offices of
the Internal Revenue Service. He per-
ceived it, the agent of the federal govern-
ment, his enemy and the people who work there as soldiers
of his enemy. His act should be viewed as a splatter from a
boiling cauldron of rage that seems to be seething seething in
middle America.
Let’s get real about what GETTING REAL
is happening here. The middle
class, the people who lived by the rules, got educated, may
have served the military, got jobs, pursued careers, raised
families, paid their bills and bought into the American dream
feel betrayed and abandoned by their government. Rightly or
wrongly, they feel the fix is in. They feel the people at the top
of the heap in Wall Street and the international corporation
board rooms are pulling the strings. They are. They feel the
interests of middle America have been sold out to illegal aliens
and social misfits on the margins of society in return for votes
and the dependency programs that lend power to incumbent
politicians and bureaucrats. The people in the middle no longer
feel that the government is of, by and for the people. They feel
it is of, by and for the special interests (it probably always was
to some extent). Movements like the Tea Party movement are
just symptomatic of popular discontent.
We fear that this terrible tragedy in Austin, Texas may only
be a precursor of worse things to come. We fear there may be
more incidents and the situation will get worse before it gets
better. We have no idea what the solution will be or where a
solution to this disaffection will come from. It is not likely to
come in the near term from a Congress that has lower ap-
proval rating than hardworking burglars and bank robbers. The
president is none to popular at this point either. He is becoming
viewed as part of the problem of big, intrusive, non-responsive
government.
If there is to be a solution it will have to come from we the
people starting at a local level, moving to the state capitols and
on to Washington, D.C. It may call for the wholesale turn out
of incumbents. The safety valve must be in the voting booth or
we are in for a long, divisive and dangerous period. The chat-
tering classes, the elite media and the academics on both coasts
had better start paying attention or we fear there will be more
and worse Austin-type incidents.

Children’s Museum kicks off

port the museum but those in
attendance will also get a free
membership.
Hartweg said that the board
is looking into having Improv
Boston perform. Improv Bos-
ton puts on skits similar to a
comedy show but it also in-
cludes audience participation.
The fundraiser will take
place at Bernardo’s on Main
Street in Hanson on April 17
from 7 to 11 p.m.
Tickets to the President’s
Ball will be $100 each and the
group promises a night of en-
tertainment, dinner and a mu-
seum pass.
The board of directors will
make a presentation explaining
the mission of the museum at
the beginning of the evening.
“The event is to raise mon-
ey, and bring the museum to
the people and corporations,
so they will understand more
about the museum,” Treasurer
Lee Baker said.
Lee said the focus of the
museum is to have the children
learn about the United States.
“There are no activities for
children in this area,” he said.
In addition to the Presi-
dent’s Ball, the board has also
selected 150 companies to
seek out for sponsorship.
Hartweg said they are
reaching out to companies such
as Reebok, which is based in
Massachusetts.
Reebok is the top mar-
keter of sneakers and she said
that can be associated with the
American ingenuity the mu-
seum is trying to highlight.

1st century education
is currently the most
prolific education
topic. It is widely accepted,
we can no longer do what we
have done (almost without
significant change) for the
last 100 plus
years. Since
the turn of the
20th century,
education has
not changed
By Edward Lee dramatically,
Principal except in the
W-H High School
1990s when
standard-
based education replaced
strict hours of instruction. Al-
though 21st century education
is broadly discussed, it is not
very well defined. Like most
educational topics, there is no
shortage of opinions or ideas.
But realistic approaches and
solutions in challenging fi-
nancial times have been much
slower to evolve. When left to
local development, most edu-
cators find working outside
of our comfort zone a diffi-
cult proposition. But without
changes, we are negatively
impacting an entire genera-
tion of students who cannot
simply “go back” and get what
they have missed. In the past I
have described these necessary
changes analogous to changing
parts on an airplane in flight,
which seems virtually impossi-
ble. I have since rethought my
analogy and would describe it
as changing the heading of an
aircraft carrier in shallow wa-
ters with present navigational
hazards. Not easy, but achiev-

able.
Two years ago at WHRHS,
we began the discussion of a
One-to-One laptop program
and what it would look like as
part of our 21st century initia-
tive. We had to evaluate and
modify our current curriculum
and instruction methods to
match the needs of 21st cen-
tury students. The impetus for
the program was the reality that
most, if not all colleges require
entering freshmen to purchase
and use a laptop. More so, in
everyday life, most people in-
teract with computer technol-
ogy in one form or another.
Comprehensive high schools
like Whitman-Hanson have a
responsibility to help students
develop survival skills for
both the college environment
as well as the larger global
community.
Our One-to-One pilot pro-
gram has been a model for
both curriculum advancement
and district collaboration. The
most important aspect of the
program was the continua-
tion of good instruction. I am
happy to report that this pro-
gram has yielded many unan-
ticipated benefits to student
learning. One only has to en-
ter the classroom and observe
students working before the
official start of class to con-
firm the students’ increased

dent learning and make im-
mediate judgments of student
understanding in the digital
environment. Because learn-
ing is done differently, there
has been an increase in stu-
dent task completion. Short of
costs, there is nothing negative
to report.
This program would not
have been possible without the
coordination and collaboration
of the English and Technol-
ogy departments. The English
department took responsibil-
ity for translating the current
curriculum into the laptop
environment and accepting
the challenge of developing
different delivery methods.
Technology provided all the
necessary support for the back-
end, assisting with any licens-
ing issues, and any immediate
technology concerns. School
administration coordinated the
broader project and provided
financial support for unantici-
pated costs. Although, this has
been a very successful project,
like most pilot programs it
provides as many answers as
questions. The next challeng-

conquer these challenges it
will require the additional co-
operation of parents and larger
school community. Look for
more developments in the very
near future.

Student attends national
security forum in D.C.
By Meaghan Glassett, Express Staff
Meaghan@hansonexpress.com
Steve Egan, a Whitman-
Hanson junior, didn’t spend
his February vacation in town,
but instead attended a national
security forum in Washington
D.C.
In recognition of his high
academic achievement and
leadership ability, Egan was
chosen to participate in the
National Youth Leadership
Forum on National Security in
Washington D.C. for six days
in February.
“I feel extremely fortunate
to have been selected,” Egan
said.
The three-sport athlete is
also involved in many student
organizations at Whitman-
Hanson. Egan is a member of
DECA, the Student Council
and is a member of a commit-
tee in charge of revising the
school handbook. The com-
mittee consists of two repre-
sentatives each from the ju-
nior and senior class, parents,
teachers and the principal.
During his trip to Wash-
ington, Egan stayed at the 4H
Conference Center. On his first
day he participated in orienta-
tion and welcoming ceremo-
nies. Students from across the
state who attended the forum
were separated into Nation-
al Security Action Meeting
Groups.
One of the most inspira-
tional moments of the trip for
Egan was when he listened
to a speech given by Phil-
lip Mudd, a government em-
ployee who has worked with
the FBI, CIA and been in the
president’s cabinet.  Participants in the leader-
Mudd told the students
to make sure they don’t let
life happen by accident, Egan
said.
“I think he was a great
speaker to have had the chance
to listen to,” he added.
The students had the op-
portunity to listen to speakers
on intelligence, defense and
diplomacy.
Egan went to a defense
conference where he heard
talks given by several branch-
es of the military.
The speakers explained
to the group that the military
is more than just infantry sol-
diers, but is also comprised of
engineers and others.
Red Cross blood drive
Whitman Knights of Columbus # 347 will sponsor a Red
Cross blood drive on Saturday, February 27 from 9 a.m.-2 p.m.
at the Knights of Columbus Hall, Route 18, 1195 Bedford St.,
Whitman. Presenting donors will receive a Bruins long sleeve
T-shirt.
For an appointment call 1-800-733-2767 or visit redcross-
blood.org. Walk-ins are welcome, a positive ID is required.
Assessor’s office closed Feb. 26
The Hanson Assessor’s office will be closed on Friday, Feb.
26.  The Assessor/Appraiser will be attending a workshop.

Steve Egan, a junior at Whitman-Hanson Regional High School
was selected to participate in the National Youth Leadership
Forum on National Security in Washington D.C. during his
February vacation.
“They said in times like
these the military is really im-
portant,” Egan said.
Egan isn’t looking to join
the military as an officer or sol-
ider, but said that he wouldn’t
completely rule out joining as
an engineer.
During the trip, the group
also attended a career type of
fair, where they had a chance
to speak with representatives
from the FBI, CIA and mili-
tary branches.
“I found them all interest-
ing, but I found Intelligence
to be most interesting,” Egan
said.
ship forum also toured Wash-
ington D.C. and visited monu-
ments and buildings with
historic significance.
“I’ve never been to Wash-
ington D.C. before. I’ve seen
it on TV when it’s in the news,
but it’s really cool to see it
all in person,” he said. “The
Capital building and Lincoln
Monument were awe inspir-
ing.”
Students took part in a
mock-trial and everyone was
assigned a different role in
government. Egan played the
part of an assistant secretary
of state.
The groups were given real

Leonard Miele visits library
Cape Cod author Leonard Miele will appear at the Hanson
Public Library on Saturday, Feb. 27 at 12:30 p.m., to give a book
talk and slide presentation entitled Katharine Lee Bates: Beyond
America the Beautiful. Mr. Miele, author of
“Voice of the Tide: The Cape Cod Heritage of
Katharine Lee Bates,” will discuss the early
Cape Cod years of Katharine Lee Bates, and
her career as an English professor at Welles-
ley College. He will also explain the social,
economic, and political issues that influenced
the writing of “America the Beautiful,” and
share some of Katharine Lee Bates’ poems,
which are rarely seen by the general public.
Following the slide presentation and book talk, Mr. Miele will
answer questions and sign books, which are available for pur-
chase at the library. Light refreshments will be served. The
event, sponsored by the Hanson Public Library Foundation, is
free and open to the public, but registration is required. To reg-

TO THE VICTOR GO THE SPOILS: A triumphant Josh Burnett heads

championship-clinching win over North Quincy.

After losing a heartbreaker
to Scituate back on the first of
the month, the boys basketball
team needed a little luck and
a lot of help to have a shot at
winning a league champion-
ship.
BOYS BASKETBALL
Whitman-Hanson 54
North Quincy 35
The Panthers won out the
rest of their season, Duxbury
and North Quincy shocked
the Sailors and, with a 54-35
blowout of the Red Raiders
at the high school on Thurs-
day, Whitman-Hanson can call
themselves league champions
for only the second time in
program history after a long,
hard month of February.
“We knew we still had a
shot, but it was going to be
hard,” senior guard Tim Farrell
said. “We fought, we practiced
so hard and it just paid off; it’s
the best feeling in the world.”
“To win a league champi-
onship on your home court is
indescribable,” added senior
captain Jay Vancura. “It’s just
a great feeling.”
Photo by Dave Palana Though the Panthers
played their last three league
games against the bottom of
the Keenan Division stand-
ings, the double-digit win
over the Raiders was the only
sure thing in a wild month for
Whitman-Hanson. The Pan-
thers were supposed to play
North Quincy on Feb. 3, but a
shooting outside North Quin-
cy High School postponed the
game. The Panthers then out-
gunned the third place Dux-
bury Dragons, fresh off a win
over Scituate, by four points
before surviving by a single
point against the 9-13 Hing-
ham Harbormen and the 1-18
Silver Lake Lakers.
“The night we came back
here after we lost to Scituate
we talked about how it is not
over,” head coach Bob Rod-
gers said. “To think about the
road we had to get here, win-
ning on the road against Dux-
bury, against Hingham in the
last second and surviving the
scare in Silver Lake, the kids
just stayed focused.”
Thursday’s game with
the 7-12 Red Raiders started
off along the same lines as
the Hingham and Silver Lake
games for Whitman-Hanson,
but the Panthers got a last-
second three-pointer from Eric
Johnson to end a back and forth
first quarter with a 15-11 lead.
Whitman-Hanson stepped up
their defense in the second
quarter to run their lead past
10, and Tim Farrell hit another
buzzer-beating three for Whit-
man-Hanson to send them into
halftime up 33-20.
“It was really nice at the
end of those quarters to get
those points,” Rodgers said.
“It’s so heartbreaking for the
other team. I thought that was
a big part of the game.”
While Panther star T.J.
Champignie was quiet in the
first half with only three points,
the Panther defense shut down
both Jonathan Coates and
Mike Stanton. The Panther
guards held the smooth shoot-
ing Coates to only one field
goal while Jay Vancura, John-
son and John Hardiman out-
muscled Stanton in the paint.
“He’s a great post player,”
Vancura said of Stanton. “We
had a game plan and we ex-
ecuted it. We played a great
defensive game all around to-
night.”
“It was probably the best
defensive effort I have ever
had a team turn in,” Rodgers
said. “Both Coates and Stan-
