Closing the senior cen-

town employees, instituting

are among the many tough
decisions Town Administrator

have to consider to overcome
a massive budget shortfall.

Speaking at the Board of
Selectmen meeting at Town
Hall on Tuesday, Read said
he is beginning to meet with
department heads to discuss
their individual budgets, and
expects a budget gap of any-
where from $850,000 to $1
million. To cover the shortfall,
Read said the town will have
to consider many tough pos-
sibilities.
Congressional candidate speaks Two vie for

By Jared Trout
Express Contributor
On a snowy March eve-
ning, 35 Republicans gathered
at Bernardo’s to donate mon-
ey, listen to candidates and
discuss public affairs. The
atmosphere was eager and op-
timistic. The Scott Brown vic-
tory of six weeks ago was on
the minds of many when Joe
Malone spoke.
Malone is the former Mas-
sachusetts state treasurer and
current candidate for Congress
to replace Democratic incum-
bent Bill Delahunt, who is not
seeking reelection.

“I have to figure out how
to bridge the gap,” he said. “I
could furlough every town em-
ployee for 100 days and that
wouldn’t be enough to cover
the shortfall. We’re looking at
everything, and it could be a
combination of options.”

Students visit Universal Studio

By Meaghan Glassett, Express Staff
Meaghan@hasnonexpress.com
Second year DECA stu-
dents from the Whitman-
Hanson Regional High School
chapter recently had the op-
portunity to attend the DECA
Sports and Entertainment con-
ference in Orlando, Fla.
The students who attend
the conference had the oppor-
tunity to hear guest speakers
employed in prominent mar-
keting positions.
The eight Whitman-Han-
son students were among the
850 attendees who stayed at
the Disney All-Star Sports Ho-
tel for four nights.
Each day during the con-
ference, students went to Uni-
versal Studios and attended
workshops in the Blue Man
Group Theater.
The conference focused on
Entertainment Marketing and
Sports Marketing.
For the Entertainment and
Marketing portion of the con-
ference, students listened to
top executives in marketing
from Universal Studios. The
speakers included vice presi-
dents of new product develop-
a lot from the presenters and
he now understands how im-
portant time management can
be.
The conference allowed
the students to study Universal
Studios as compared to Disney
and how the two use data for
various types of marketing.
DECA students performed
a strengths, weakness, op-
portunity and threats analysis
based on the Universal theme
park.
McDougall said he found
the conference more beneficial
than participating in DECA
competitions because it taught
him about the behind-the-
scenes aspect of business.
Senior Pat Leonard said
what he took away from the
conference was seeing how
marketing works in the real
world.
He said when presenters
compared Universal Studios
and Disney, he found it inter-
esting because they didn’t see
the competitor as a threat, but
rather as an advantage.
For the sports market-
ing portion of the conference,
said. - WINTER SPECIAL -

to the students how they
achieved the positions they
hold today, Consolini said.
Senior Amy Sapienza, who
will be attending Johnson and
Wales University in Rhode
Island next fall, said that the
conference helped her to nar-
row down her major to sports
and entertainment event man-
agement.
To wrap up the sports mar-
keting focus, students attended
an Orlando Magic game at the
Amway Arena. The Orlando
Magic team lost in the last
four seconds to the Washing-
Mike’s House of Pizza
ton Wizards.

The Deadline for all

the Express
letters & commentaries
is Tuesday at noon.

T
o all of you wondering why you’ve received this
paper in the mail, I just wanted to take a moment
to say hello from all of us in the Express family.
Here’s a little bit about us: We are a small company,
started 50 years ago on a dining room table in Duxbury. We
aren’t traded on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange,
and we aren’t run by a corporate board of stiffs in suits from
some far-off place.
Today, the company’s papers, including the Hanson
Express, are run by the same family, and we adhere to the
“keep it local” motto that permeates everything we do. If
you’re looking for last night’s Bruins’ scores, or news about
what’s going on in Washington D.C. –– you should probably
look elsewhere. But if you want to know what’s for lunch at
Maquan, or what time the Conservation Commission meet-
ing is; if you want to check out how the Panther’s football
team did last Friday night or you want to get the scoop on
the selectmen candidates, look no further than our pages.
We value our connection to the community, and love to run
photos of residents reading the Express in exotic locales or
letters to the editor on any topic.
We are running a town-wide mailing for the next two
weeks, so you’ll be getting next week’s paper in the mail
as well. We hope you’ll consider subscribing to the Hanson
Express and continuing to receive all the local news that’s fit
to print, to borrow (and tweak) a phrase.
And of course, to all our loyal readers who are already
subscribers, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart
for your support. We will continue to bring you the highest
quality local news possible. Thanks for reading.

nalism/ literature. Every day

By Emory Maddocks s t a n d a r d
joke is that
after a certain age one checks
the obits daily and if your
name isn’t there you get up
and about the day’s business.
Actually the obits are a com-
pelling example of a journalis-
tic art form when done well. It
takes a well honed talent to en-
capsulate in a few paragraphs
the life of the dear departed.
Reading the obits, particularly
of men and women of some
achievement can also be quite
educational.
GETTING REAL
Last week we picked up on
the passing of one Major-Gen-
eral Jeanne M. Holm who died
at 88 years of age. MG Holm
was the first woman Air Force
general officer. She was a pio-
neer who led the way. She cer-
tainly was no household name,
but we think she deserves
some recognition outside the
cloistered world of the profes-
sional military.
MG Holm began her mili-
tary career as a patriot in WW
II, driving trucks in the now de-
funct Women’s Army Auxilia-
ry Corps, the WAACs in 1942.
She simply wanted to make a
contribution as her brothers
in service. She had potential,
she earned a commission and
she was off to a lifelong voca-
tion that led the way for other
women who wanted to serve.
After serving most of
the war years commanding
WAAC basic training units
she went on to the Air Force
and by 1965 she was director
of Women in the Air Force. In
1971 she achieved the ground-
breaking rank of Brigadier
General and two years later to
Major General. Her entire ca-
reer she fought for expanding
roles for women. She pushed
for the admission of women to
the service academies, as pi-
lots and ever expanding roles
for women in combat. These
are sweeping changes from the
days when most women in the
military were viewed as a vast
secretarial pool.
Today the role of women
in the military is pretty much
taken for granted. With few
exceptions, women can serve
in most roles, in all branches
of the service. As comes with
all practitioners of the pro-
fession of arms, women now
have the opportunity to “pet
the elephant,” and prove their
mettle as warriors. The recent
wars in Iraq and Afghanistan
have seen women join their
brothers-in-arms in the glories
and the tragedies of combat.
They have earned their place
with achievement and blood.
Old sensibilities aside, the
military and the country are
better for it. The talent pool
is doubled and for those who
wish to pursue it, the noble
profession of arms is an op-
portunity to all who have the
talent, drive and courage. The
country owes a debt to pio-
neers as Major-General Jeanne
M. Holm of Portland, Oregon,
the middle child of a widow,
a woman who just wanted to
make a contribution, and that
she did.

“I believe in the free enter-

Finally, make sure that

Last man standing
Panther captain ends indoor season at New Englands
By Dave Palana, Sports Editor
david@hansonexpress.com
It was a season of surprises
for the Panther boys track team
this winter, and captain Clint
Burns brought it to a close in
impressive fashion Friday at
the Reggie Lewis Center.
Burns ran the 600 meters in
1:23.50 to finish in ninth place
at the New England Champi-
onships.
Burns qualified for the meet
at the All State championships
the week before, where he
took fifth place running in an
unseeded heat with a 1:23.46
time, shaving over half a sec-
ond off his fourth-place time at
the Division II championships
on Feb. 20.
Though his time at New
Englands was consistent with
his All State race, Burns said
he was disappointed that he
couldn’t run down Durfee’s
Steve Souza and Central Cath-
olic’s Chris Wilbar over the
final laps.
“Going off I felt good, and
then going around the second
turn I tried to make my move
and they just held me off,” he
