The
Whitman-Hanson-Pembroke(WHP) February Senior Day girls' hockey game against
Norwell at Rockland Ice Arena is up and running at pembrokecommunitymedia. It was filmed by volunteer Deanna Hatch,
whose daughter Mel, #1, plays keeper.
And
what a game that was.
WHP
made 3 of its 4 game goals in the action-packed 1st period, with #14
Whitman-Hanson Freshman Abby Majenski making one and assisting in the other
2. Great work, Gabby.
Norwell's
#14 Caroline Nichols also scored during that 1st period assisted by teammate
Teri Dinger.
“I
like to film the girls congregating and having fun before the game,” Hatch
related. “Senior Day was special for me and my daughter Mel who is a senior. It
was one of the last few home games that I taped. Mel plays goalie. It was an
honor and privilege to be sharing in that special day for the girls.” Hatch went on to say, “I have so many nice things
to say, that I'm overwhelmed.”
With
instant and slow motion replays and freeze frames of key plays, watching this
video is even better than being at the event itself.

The new Robert Kopper Show was shot on Sunday, March 3, 2013 in Kopper's home town of Pembroke, Massachusetts. Go to pembrokecommunitymedia.com to watch. The premier episode was filmed January 21st featuring guest Howard Scott who is best known for his expertise as bee keeper and author. Did you ever wonder how bees divide chores among themselves and what constitutes their specific jobs? How long do honey bees live? Over how many generations and for what time span does the queen bee preside? Interesting stuff. Kopper grew up in Washington, DC as the youngest of four children in a family that regularly discussed politics at the table. In 1985 he moved to Pembroke, Massachusetts where he now lives with his wife and children. "People love to express their opinions," Kopper says, "and I am here to give them that opportunity. To give them a voice." "I grew up listening to WBZ talk shows on my crystal radio," Kopper continued. "There was Jerry Williams and Gene Burns on RKO. "My brother had an alternative rock show during the 60s and 70s on WBCN 104.1 in the morning." When we asked Kopper why he prefers the talk show genre, he answered, "I like it because there's a lot to talk about, and I know that people are more interested in politics than they realize. It affects their lives more than entertainment or sports ever could or will."
Pembroke
Community Media Center volunteers Louise Tanderes and John Hetman who both live
in the elderly housing complex on Mayflower Court, have featured themselves in
a video about the Snowstorm Nemo that hit Pembroke the morning of February 8,
2013. Go to pembrokecommunitymedia.com
to meet
both Hetman and Tanderes as they talk about their experiences braving the
storm. Both were trapped with no power, no heat, no phone, and snow blocking
the doorways and access to their vehicles.
90-year-old
Louise likes to be prepared and keeps a shovel in her bathtub. She spent 2 nights in her freezing apartment
before digging out and flagging down a vehicle in the road. “Well, I wasn't
going to stay there and die, you know,” Louise said. “It was time to make a move. Nobody was coming to shovel us out, and I
just couldn’t feel my hands or feet anymore.”
Tanderes went on to say, “You almost lost your friend Louise that
day. I know that if I had fallen asleep
I would have died. I've never in my 90
years been that cold. I can still feel
it.”
The
second day of the storm, Hetman's family sent emergency personnel to bring him
to his daughter's generator-powered home. “I heard a knock on my door, and it
was the police. My family had called
them,” Hetman said. “I was so grateful since there was no way I could call. Still though, there are people here worse off
than me with oxygen and other problems. Why did nobody help them?” Hetman went on to say that about 50 people
were “left to freeze” over that 4 to 5 day period.
John
Raymond Hetman is a handicapped widower who's lived in Pembroke Elderly Housing
on Mayflower Court since his wife died.
The couple moved from Leesburg, New Jersey in 1954 to raise a family in
their Mattakeesett Street home across from the present-day ball fields. Anne M.
Hetman who passed away 13 years ago, served the Southeast Region of
Massachusetts as Pembroke's Community Hazardous Waste Coordinator, was
well-loved as Clerk of the Board of Health, and was involved with Pembroke's
Housing Authority.
Louis
Mathilde Faux Tanderes moved with her young son David from Brockton to Pembroke
in 1955 where she married Ronald Manchester and had a second son, Ken. They lived on Toole Trail. Later the pair moved to 12 Raymond Avenue
where Louise became the second owner of the home built in 1951. Manchester passed away in 1967. Eight years after her boys grew up and moved
on, Louise married Eugene Tanderes who passed away in 2002. At age 80 and after one year alone, Louise
moved to Mayflower Court where she has lived for 11 years.

CLICK HERE to view. On January 30th, 2013, five young men from Tiger Cub Pack 105, Den 4 in Pembroke Massachusetts visited Pembroke Community Media Center to make a peppy public service announcement(PSA) advising the best ways to avoid illness-causing germs.
A leader stood to the side launching colored pom poms airborne to simulate how germs spread. Each child then suggested a strategy for pathogenic microbe avoidance and rambunctiously called out "goodbye." One of these anything-but-shy boys even did a dance. Fun.

The
volunteers at Pembroke Community Media Center gladly present a second January
Episode of "Expressions in Painting" filmed January 30th, 2013. Pembroke High School students earn community
service credit hours towards graduation by working crew for Paul.
The
piece from January 15th's episode was finished in the past 2 weeks, and is
reintroduced at the evening's start.
"It really has a nice personality. It has
a beautiful, sun-bathed side. And it's got this really nice shadow on the
sidewalk. It has a nice quietness about it. I'm very, very pleased with the way
this painting came out," Paul tells us.
As
he did in the show 2 weeks ago, Paul again displays the floral signature
painting for his Cancer Support Community Exhibition from 1-5pm on Feb 10th at
110 Longwater Drive, Norwell, Massachusetts. "Please come, " Paul
says, "because we're trying to do something about cancer."
There's
a finished birch tree painting, and a panoramic of 'The Spit" at the
show's start too.
"I
really like the tranquility and the quietness of it,' Paul comments on
"The Spit" piece. Every time I paint this, somebody comes in and buys
it, which is a great thing because artists need somebody to buy their
work."
In
this January 30th episode, Paul paints from a still life. One of Paul's
viewers, Theresa, wants to know what brushed are used, so Paul obliges.
Paul
paints and talks not only about artwork, but about his life.
Did
you know he is going to Ethiopia in September 2013? "There's a bunch of us going from a
prayer group in Abington. Then there's a bunch of Irish people coming from
Ireland and they're going to meet us in Washington, and we're all going to go.
And that ought to be fun."
Wm Flynn coaches varsity girls'
Whitman/Hanson/Pembroke (WHP) hockey,and uses game videos shot by Deanna Hatch, Sports Director for Pembroke
Community Media Center, as a training tool.
Saturday
night's Jan 26th WHP vs. Falmouth Clippers game was especially momentous for
the team, since Falmouth ranked first in the Southeastern MA Girls Hockey
League South Division I.
“I
was so proud of all the girls efforts,” Coach Flynn said, referring to WHP's
performance that night. “They played as
a team, and it showed.”
Flynn
continued, “Had they played this way against Marshfield, the outcome would have been different.” He was talking about three days earlier when
at 5 pm on January 23rd, WHP lost to Marshfield by only one point at the
Bridgewater Ice Arena(BIA).
“Thanks
to Deanna for game films,” Flynn said. “They let us better prepare in advance
for upcoming games.”
Hatch's
daughter, Mel, keeper for the team,
offered her thoughts on the Falmouth game which evenly finished at 2-2, had 6
penalties for each faction, and one 3rd period goal for each team. “The girls looked really well and they pulled
together when we needed it most. It felt good to give Falmouth their first
tie.”
Deanna
Hatch likewise was especially enamored by the team, and afterwards exclaimed
“Oh my gosh. It was an amazing
game. I've never been so proud of those
girls.” Hatch went on to call the
Falmouth Ice Rink event “a true nail-biter.
I am so glad to have the game on film, because that's something you just
can't get back once it's over.”
The
Falmouth game also was a critical landmark for player Jane Morrisette who made
both a 2nd period assist and a 3rd period goal, earning her 100th and 101st
high school hockey career points.
“I
feel excited,” Morrisette said. “I think as a junior it was a great
accomplishment, and I hope to keep racking up the points.”
Morrisette plans to play both field hockey and
ice hockey again her senior 2013-14 year.
WHPs
next game is at 1:50 pm tomorrow, Feb 9th against Norwell at the Bridgewater
Ice Arena(BIA).
