School Committee interviews with the three superintendent finalists selected by a screening subcommittee was held beginning at 4 p.m., Thursday, Feb. 15 in open session at the W-H library.

The finalists are: Sharon Schools Assistant Superintendent for Information Systems and Administration John M. Marcus, a North Easton resident; Lincoln (R.I.) High School Principal Kevin J. McNamara of Greenville, R.I.; and WHRHS Principal Jeffrey Szymaniak of Pembroke.

The search began with a list of 19 applicants, School Committee Chairman Bob Hayes reminded the Committee at the Wednesday, Feb. 7 meeting.

The Committee planned to send representatives to conduct site visits to the three schools between Thursday, Feb. 8 and Monday, Feb. 12 ahead of the interviews. But the entire committee could not go on site visits without requiring the posting of a public meeting.

“These candidates … are currently interviewing with other districts as we speak,” noted subcommittee and School Committee member Michael Jones. “I’d hate to lose any candidate by going any longer [with the process].”

Hayes confirmed that some of the three finalists are, indeed, finalists in other districts.

“I would rather candidates come here and meet with groups, whether it’s teachers, whether it’s families or principals — that kind of thing — I’d rather they come here and meet with them than me go to their schools,” Committee member Robert O’Brien Jr., said.

“I think both [ways] have value, but this is a committee decision,” Hayes said.

“I think it’s most beneficial to us to have those interviews next week,” Committee member Kevin Lynam said. “I don’t want us to postpone this into school vacation and to push it back to the week after that. The deadline of next Wednesday should dictate our decision.”

Superintendent of Schools Dr. Ruth Gilbert-Whitner countered that site visits were really an opportunity to glean important information.

“We’ve done both,” she said. “It think for a position of this importance, you need to do both. … I’ve learned from going to site visits that you learn a tremendous amount about the candidates by what that person has you look at, who the people are you talk to, what you see and what you don’t see — and it is extremely helpful.”

Having candidates is equally important — providing a real sense of their inter-personal skills. Site visits are just as important with inside candidates as for those from other districts, she added.

“If they want the job badly enough, they’re going to make it work,” Gilbert-Whitner said.

With the passage of a transfer of funds from free cash at the Monday, Feb. 5 special Town Meeting in Hanson, work will begin over February vacation — Feb. 19 to 23 — at Indian Head School to contain and abate asbestos in the area where work on classrooms and bathrooms will be worked on later.

“As we know, there’s asbestos at Indian Head — we’ve dealt with that for a long, long time — that will be the beginning of the project which then follows through to the next special Town Meeting which will be held in the town of Whitman on [Monday] March 12 at 7:30 p.m. for the allocation of the remaining funds,” Gilbert-Whitner said. “We’re very grateful to the folks of Hanson.”

The district will also be fine-tuning timelines over February vacation in order to develop a more exact schedule for work to be done in subsequent weeks.

WHITMAN — For Whitman native Mark Chauppetta the fight against Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy is a personal one — his twin 22-year-old sons, Troy and Andrew, have Duchenne.

But he also sees the need for humor in the world.

“I’ve always liked to entertain people to raise money,” Chauppetta said. “I just hate asking for handouts [when] there are so many worthy causes out there and so many people need help.”

This year, his second annual “Komedy for a Kause” show at Plymouth Memorial Hall will mark his first solo production. Chauppetta has received 501 (C) (3) status for his own fundraising orgnization, The Wheelchair Strong Foundation, of which he is executive director. That title stems from a T-shirt design made by his sons’ online company, twinteeshirts.com.

Proceeds for the Friday, Sept. 29 Komedy for a Kause 2 show will support Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, providing grants to families and to fund adaptive sports, although his mission is to raise awareness and money through entertaining. General admission tickets are $45 or $75 for VIP tickets, which include dinner and a meet-and-greet.

He urges people not to wait until the last minute to purchase tickets.

“This event is going to get as big as ‘Comics Come Home,’” he said. “Our lineup this year is crazy.”

A Denis Leary fundraising show in Boston, Comics Come Home benefits the Cam Neely Foundation for Cancer Care.

The Komedy for a Kause 2 bill of performers is designed to bring in a wide range of age groups and includes Jimmy Walker — JJ from the 1970s Norman Lear sitcom, “Good Times” — as well as Lenny Clarke, Rocky LaPorte — who has appeared on the reality show “Last Comic Standing” — and Dan Miller, Johnny Pizzi, Christine Hurley and Jerry Thornton, all three of whom appeared at last year’s show. Hurley is the headliner and Thornton is hosting the event.

“She is becoming, bar none, the best female comic in the industry right now,” he has said of Hurley, who is a sweet-natured mother of five off stage. “All Christine Hurley does is [dump] on her husband Jimmy Hurley. She’s so funny and a little blue.”

“Lenny Clarke is one of the nicest, most charitable guys you will ever meet,” Chauppetta said.

Thornton is a “local guy turned sports radio personality” at WEEI and a former Hingham court officer, Chauppetta said last year.

Kicking off the show is “American Idol” contestant William  Hung, whose infamously bad version of Ricky Martin’s “She Bangs” made him a household name.

“He had 15 minutes of fame and made millions off of that one TV appearance on ‘American Idol,” said Chauppetta. Now an engineer for the city of Los Angeles, Hung paid for his college degree with the money he made from that TV audition.

Chauppetta has also asked his wife if he could bring Hung along with them to his W-H 30th reunion the next night. She said fine.

“It’s going to be a very eclectic show,” Chauppetta said of Komedy for a Kause 2. “I like to put on the unknown, I like to surprise people. I like to make people laugh. My shows are kind of high-intensity, kind of like my personality.”

He recalled that, when he was 21 and living on Warren Avenue in Whitman with his parents while working as a corrections officer, “something pushed me to leave the Department of Corrections and go out to California to be an actor.”

His parents were not exactly thrilled, and the gamble didn’t bring show-biz success, but he used the opportunity to learn how to be a private investigator and put the skills he has amassed over the years to work for his charity as well as his sons, whom he calls his passion and inspiration.

“I’ve put together a powerful board of directors,” Chauppetta said. That board includes Plymouth County DA Timothy Cruz, Thornton and others. Chauppetta’s daughter Elizabeth is the foundation’s president.

“Last year’s event was so successful that Komedy for a Kause 1 raised $30,000 for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy,” Chauppetta said. “We were a third-party vendor last year, meaning we collaborated with the Jett Foundation who solely specializes in DMD.”

He said the decision to hold the show in 1,500-seat, arena-style Plymouth Memorial Hall was dictated by the venue’s size.

“I’d love to have it in Whitman, I’d love to have it in Hanson, I’d love to have it in Brockton where my business is located , but there’s nowhere big enough,” he said.

Chauppetta decided his skills as a private investigator with solid media contacts, besides the Express, he will be talking to KISS-108, WROR, the Hill-Man Show on WAAF and other local papers and cable TV stations as well as Facebook.

“Facebook works,” he said.

WHITMAN — Whitman residents were advised by reverse 911 calls on Friday, Aug. 4 that a positive test for West Nile Virus has been found in one of the town’s sample traps.

The finding makes Whitman one of 59 positive samples in 36 Massachusetts communities so far this year. While there are moderate zones of risk in eight counties — Essex, Middlesex, Norfolk, Worcester, Hampden, Hampshire, Franklin and Sussex. Plymouth County, and the rest of the South Shore, the Cape and Islands remain in the low-risk category as of Monday, according to the Mass. Dept. of Public Health.

There have been no positive tests in either people or animals to date, the DPH reported.

Local health authorities said this week there is no cause to close athletic fields to public use as yet, but urged parents to take precautions of making sure family members use an insect repellent with DEET before outside activities between dusk and dawn.

“Unless it’s for [Eastern Equine Encephalitis] EEE, they don’t usually close down as far as the games and all that,” Whitman Health Agent Alexis Andrews said. “We do have an update on the [town] website, but it’s the usual plans in effect as far as taking precautions, but there aren’t any restrictions as yet.”

Hanson has not seen any test samples with positive WNV results at this point, according to Health Agent Matt Tannis on Monday.

“To limit exposure, it is recommended that residents avoid outdoor events between dusk and dawn, wear long pants, a long sleeve shirt and socks, use a repellent with DEET and remove areas of standing water around the home,” Whitman advised on its website whitman-ma.gov.

The Board of Health on Tuesday, Aug. 8, received the call from the DPH and notified Town Administrator Frank Lynam, who as the town’s public information officer, alerted residents about the positive test sample.

“He did a great job because it was out and he got the fact sheet out and everything,” said Health Board Administrative Assistant Elaine Williams.

Health Board Chairman Eric Joubert agreed.

“We did a good job on the website, too,” he said. “Spray before you play — and people shouldn’t wait for West Nile to be found anyway. Every year, it comes.”

Williams also indicated on the website that residents should contact Plymouth County Mosquito Control if they wish to have their neighborhood sprayed against mosquitoes.

“The town does not spray,” she said.

The board discussed advising youth sports coaches, perhaps through Recreation Director Oliver Amado Jr., to put out signs or to advise parents about the use of repellent with DEET. The state’s Children’s Protection Act already requires schools and day cares to have a mosquito control plan within their Integrated Pest Management plans.

“The Boston area is usually a focus of WNV activity, but this year we are seeing evidence of widespread WNV infection in mosquitoes with particularly significant activity in and around Worcester and in the Pioneer Valley,” DPH Deputy State Epidemologist Dr. Catherine Brown said. “I encourage everyone to use the tools of prevention, including applying mosquito repellent with an EPA-registered ingredient according to the directions on the label, wearing clothing to reduce exposed skin when weather permits, draining standing water to prevent mosquito breeding and repairing window screens to keep mosquitoes out of your home,” she said. Dr. Brown warned that “August and early September are when we see most of our WNV infections in people.”

WNV is usually transmitted to humans through the bite of an infected mosquito. In 2016, there were 16 human cases of WNV identified in Massachusetts.

HANSON — While they were aware she was looking for a new position, town officialswere a bit surprised on Monday, July 24 when Marybeth MacKay, recreation director since April, tendered her resignation effective Friday, July 28.

Town Administrator Michael McCue said that MacKay had tendered her resignation letter to him during the day July 24 and he forwarded it to the Recreation Commission for action at its meeting that evening.

“They are technically her hiring authority and they accepted her resignation Monday night,” he said.

In the interim, he authorized MacKay to go home early on Monday while he “figured out the best thing to do in terms of going forward,” McCue then met with Recreation Chairman Annmarie Bouzan and both agreed MacKay could return keys, laptop and other items on Tuesday, July 25. She was paid for Monday and Tuesday and was then done for the week.

MacKay had accepted a similar position in the private sector at an assisted living center in Middleboro, MacKay and Selectmen Chairman James McGahan said Friday.

“She was off the books as of Tuesday,” he said. She was still within the six-month probationary period.

A call placed to MacKay’s Lakeville home for comment was not returned.

“If it was a perfect scenario, [a municipality would take] a couple of months to fill such a job,” McGahan said of the hiring process she likely went through in Middleboro. “A private company would have a shorter time period.”

“They’d go a lot quicker than us,” McCue agreed. “We knew she was looking, but we had no idea that it was imminent.”

McCue said it has yet to be determined how the process to find another recreation director would progress, but the Recreation Commission will be asked to meet with Selectmen for an open discussion on the matter in the near future.

The previous applicants, interviewed during the process through which MacKay was chosen likely would also be contacted again for new interviews.

“It kind of shortens up the process,” McGahan said. “I have no influence with the Recreation Commission, though.” He noted he has received calls from residents interested in the job, but makes it clear that decision is not his to make, all he can do is pass that information along.

“I don’t want to influence it,” he said.

McCue said the candidate who was in consideration along with MacKay, but at the time was not yet back from living in Dublin, Ireland, would still be a strong candidate this time around.

“There were a couple qualified people,” McCue said. “The runner-up was not back from Dublin. He’s from here originally and had been in Dublin for about 10 years.” He had been about six weeks away from his moving date during the last round of interviews.

“He may be down the street and around the corner and we may be able to speak with him,” he said. “She was always the number one candidate and he was a close two.”

Both McGahan and McCue said they would not be surprised if the June meeting during which MacKay narrowly avoided losing the Hanson job by a 3-3 vote of the Recreation Commission motivated her to look elsewhere.

“There was a red flag there,” McGahan said of the vote.

“I don’t blame her for that,” McCue said of MacKay’s decision to seek a new position. “I would have done the same thing.”

McGahan noted that the automated accounting system that was to be set up for the director to use, as recommended by former Selectman Bruce Young, to develop a more transparent financial system at Camp Kiwanee had been a sticking point for MacKay.

“We knew we had problems on that,” McGahan said of the past contract process for Kiwanee events. “We had contracts that were half signed [before a full-time director was sought], we saw big discounts given … we want an official record and a system that accounts for that.”

MacKay was supposed to take over responsibility for the automated accounting system.

“Bruce had a pretty solid idea for how things should go forward,” said McCue, who started forwarding that process to the new commission when it was formed. “As soon as we hired Marybeth, I completely handed everything off to her.”

Both McGahn and McCue said nothing more was done after that. McGahan said asking a few companies in to demonstrate their software was all that was needed to be done to accomplish the accounting requirement.

“If I were hired as recreation director, that would be the number one item on my list, because you’re talking about money coming in and out,” he said. McGahan acknowledged, however, that the problem of a lifeguard shortage was properly addressed by closing the beach early during the past week for training.

Both McCue and McGahn also agreed that Bouzan and the Recreation Commission is doing a great job.

“Annmarie and I have not always been in alignment, but he does her job and she does it well,” McGahan said.

WHITMAN — A drug arrest was made in Whitman July 20 in conjunction with the WEB Task Force after a month-long investigation.

The WEB Task Force combines the investigation efforts of officers from West Bridgewater, Whitman, East Bridgewater, Bridgewater and Bridgewater State University.

Samuel Rutledge, 28, of 50 Center St., Brockton, was identified by West Bridgewater Officer Sean Devilly,  and Whitman officers Paul Young and Peter Aitken as the Fentanyl supplier to various customers in this region.

Rutledge was an alleged dealer utilizing various female drivers to transport and deliver the narcotics.

On Thursday, July 20, investigators assigned to the task force observed Rutledge engage in what was believed to be a narcotics transaction in Whitman. Detectives then stopped Rutledge and the female who was driving Rutledge to the narcotics transaction, according to a police statement. He had possession of what was suspected to be Fentanyl and crack cocaine, which was packaged for resale, according to a prepared press release from the WEB Task Force. The estimated street value of the seized drugs was approximately $3,000.

“The pairing of crack cocaine and Fentanyl is problematic for investigators and health care workers as there has been a noticeable increase in overdoses due to the coupling of these two narcotics,” police stated. “Investigators and Health Care experts have noticed that traditional cocaine users are overdosing on what they believe to be Fentanyl instead of cocaine.”

Rutledge was charged with trafficking a class B substance, distribution of a class B substance three counts, possession with intent to distribute a class B Substance – Fentanyl and one count of trafficking more than ten grams of Fentanyl. He was arraigned on July 20. The Commonwealth requested $50,000 bail. Judge Bernard set bail at $25,000 along with the requirement to wear a GPS monitoring bracelet. A probable cause hearing is set for Aug. 18.

The driver Christina Justiniano, 31,who gave her address as Weymouth during booking — but was identified as from 126 Nicholson Drive, Brockton in the WEB relase —was charged with one count of conspiracy to violate the drug law. She was also arraigned on July 20 and is due back to court Sept. 7. She was given a bail warning.

HANSON — The Board of Selectmen is seeking three Hanson residents to serve as at-large members of the Maquan School Transition Committee. Those interested in helping determine the future of the elementary school building, being closed as a school and returned to the town at the end of the 2017-18 school year should apply to the Selectmen’s office as soon as possible.

Town Administrator Michael McCue told the board on July 11 he has been in contact with Superintendent of Schools Dr. Ruth Gilbert-Whitner as well as School Committee Chairman Bob Hayes to appoint a Hanson representative to the committee.

While the School Committee is not scheduled to meet in July, Hayes said he will reach out to Hanson members to determine who is willing to serve on the panel.

“They’ve also indicated that members of staff, as needed, will be made available to us as we go forward,” McCue said.

Selectmen Laura FitzGerald-Kemmett, who has been selected to represent the Hanson Board of Selectmen on the Maquan Committee, also noted that a “litany” of other residents have also been mentioned as possibly being asked to serve the committee in an advisory capacity.

FitzGerald-Kemmett said she wants to see the committee in place and ready to go to work by late August or early September at the latest.

“I don’t want to get dramatic about this, but it is a rather large-scale project and it’s a lot to look at in a fairly condensed timeline,” she said. “The number of people impacted [is large and there is] the anxiety level around it for a lot of people with little people that want to know what’s going on — the schools will obviously handle a lot of communication with folks around the physical transition of their little guys. But I would like to get our conversations going just about as soon as we hear from the school Committee on who they’ve got.”

McCue said he shared that concern and noted that the only difficulty would be in attracting the at-large members from town.

McCue is also aiming to convene a workshop meeting of some of the members of the Memorial Field Trustees, the Thomas Mill Committee, the Parks and Fields Committee and the Recreation Commission regarding committee consolidation as soon as he can arrange a date that works for all parties, preferably in early August.

“What we’re trying to do is look at efficient use of limited resources and take a fresh look at whether [some of] these committees are needed or whether they’re a little redundant and maybe another committee can pick up a few tasks without being unduly burdened,” FitzGerald-Kemmett said.

Selectmen also devoted more discussion to their goals for the year as Selectman James Hickey noted his wish to stress conclusion of the situation at the former Plymouth County Hospital site, perhaps citing a solar panel installation either there or at the transfer station as well as finding a location for a cell tower in town.

“Cell phone reception in Hanson is the worst,” he said.

FitzGerald-Kemmett and McGahan have already submitted lists to McCue.

“I want to make sure each member of the Board of Selectmen knows that I certainly want to welcome any items — any other input,” McCue said. “My hope is that, at the next meeting, I would have a formalized list I could present to the selectmen and we could all come to an agreement that this is what the board as a whole wishes to move forward on.”

McCue also noted that the state has given little guidance on the subject of marijuana bylaws, adding “we need to get in line so that we have some sort of bylaws on the books in October [when the special Town Meeting is the town’s next bite at the apple] in terms of regulating retail marijuana.”

He has already begun discussing the issue with the town planner and health agent, but noted Selectmen should also be involved and added that the current recommendation include with the present overlay district for medical marijuana — in a section of the industrial park toward East Bridgewater — a location for any retail establishment.

He cautioned, however, against bylaw that would contradict the state “once they get their act together.”

HANSON — The Recreation Commission heard updates on more than two dozen issues and upcoming projects from Director Marybeth MacKay two weeks after she narrowly avoided being dismissed from her job over alleged performance concerns. The commission also heard a presentation from an ADT Security Services representative on improving alarm and camera coverage at Camp Kiwanee.

A 3-3 vote on June 26  — one member was unable to attend — taken during an open session, provided MacKay with the opportunity to meet in the days since with Town Administrator Michael McCue and commission members from both sides of the vote to discuss concerns aired at that meeting.

“I plan to continue to assist the Recreation Commission and staff in every appropriate way to ensure the continued and future success of Camp Kiwanee,” McCue said in a statement Tuesday morning.

MacKay had reportedly requested the open session in order to defend herself publicly against any statements that might be made about her. A second vote to re-evaluate MacKay’s performance in September also failed by the same tie vote, according to a Facebook post about the meeting.

Minutes of the meeting have not yet been posted on the town website. There was no mention of that meeting’s business at the July 10 session in which MacKay was asked for progress reports on — among other items — caretaker job descriptions, computer software updates, employee packet and key dispersal updates as well as reports on the status of the Gatehouse and alarm procedures. She also presented information on upcoming wildlife programs for children that were approved by the commission.

ADT Territory Manager Suzy McPherson, whose job includes sales of systems to small businesses, gave a presentation on the alarm system upgrades the commission is seeking.

“I met with Marybeth and we had an extensive conversation,” McPherson said. “I understand you have an alarm and camera system here and that you want to have the ability to change the code.”

The commission is concerned with controlling access to Needles Lodge as well as exterior building security, an issue with both the key dispersal and alarm system protocols.

“I kind of think it’s a user issue and something easy, that you don’t need to spend money on,” McPherson said, noting that statement might seem counter to her job as a sales representative.

She said the problem is that anytime the alarm access code needs to be changed —as most businesses do anytime an employee leaves, voluntarily or by dismissal — the alarm company or Police Chief Michael Miksch must be contacted because they are the only ones with the master code.

The master code allows home or business owners to delete and add user codes, McPherson said, adding that even ADT doesn’t want to know the master code because of the liability. Instead, they walk clients through the process of accessing it or send a technician out if a home or business owner forgets it.

“I don’t understand how, because I deal with some municipalities, why don’t you want to know who’s coming and going,” she said of what is known as a pulse system. “If [an employee] wants to hang out with his buddies, if he comes in at 9 p.m. and puts in his code, there can be a record established.”

She said the universal use of one code presents a big liability for the town, but did not “want to throw a price at you if you don’t need it.”

Former Selectman Bill Scott, who attended the meeting, said he is also concerned about the police chief being the one in possession of the master code.

“Personally, I don’t want anyone’s code and I don’t know why our police chief has it,” said Scott, who is also a retired police chief. “He should not have it. Their job is to be objective and respond to any criminal violations.”

While stressing he was not criticizing Miksch in particular, Scott maintained that, “He should have no right to change any alarm in this building. Why that was done in the past, I don’t know.”

Miksch said Tuesday night he does not have, nor would he want, the master code to the alarm system. He said he has the codes for surveillance cameras, but doesn’t want that information, either.

If the commission decided to switch to ADT, McPherson said they would switch out the keypad, the cell communicator in case phone lines go down and the panel.

The process for issuing keys at Camp Kiwanee is also being changed, but there are more bugs to be worked out.

Keys have been issued with engraved IDs in sets numbered 1 to 10 for each of the staff members and letters on the reverse to identify what they are used for at the Camp, MacKay said.

“I’ve got a list of what key everybody has,” she said. “So, if people find a set of keys sitting out in the campground, I can say, ‘Number 7 are Bill’s keys and are there any missing? He signed out for seven keys and here they all are.’”

Chairman Annmarie Bouzan asked how copies are controlled. The new job description covers that issue under the heading “unauthorized use,” which are grounds for dismissal.
