$36.8-million budget sails through town meeting
By Catherine Goldhammer
A fairly large and agreeable crowd assembled
on Monday night to participate in the phenomenon
known as annual town meeting. On the stage of the
By Susan Ovans
By far the most anticipated and most
contentious proposal on this year’s town
meeting warrant was Article 32, submitted
for consideration by longtime local
activist Judeth Van Hamm.
The article that Van Hamm and others
gave to the town earlier this year called
for selectmen to enter into a 20-year
contract with a for-profit corporation
Van Hamm now heads to enable the
installation of a public transport system
known as JPods.
But the formal motion that was read
on behalf of Article 32 by interim moderator
Daniel Ciccariello Tuesday night
not only changed the potential contractual
term from 20 years to 30, but also
directed selectmen to undertake surveys
and studies to prove JPods’ feasibility
in Hull.
Ciccariello had been called upon to
step in for Moderator Michael Nuesse,
who had to recuse himself from the
action because he sits on South Shore
Mobility Inc.’s board of directors, along
with Van Hamm.
Since the 158 town meeting voters
were not apprised of this, they may
have been confused when Ciccariello

took the gavel. Town meeting neophytes
may also have been confused when Van
Hamm’s amended motion was read by
Ciccariello and was immediately attacked
as being “not within the scope”
of the article that had been printed in
the warrant.
Ciccariello ruled that although the
new motion increased the term of a potential
contract from 20 years to 30, it

If you’ve never been to town meeting, this is how
it works. Town Clerk Janet Bennett picks a numbered
ball from a small metal lottery-style basket. Whatever
number she picks is the warrant article that will be
discussed next. Half of the warrant’s 34 articles were
covered on Monday. The standout discussions were
as follows, but for a summary of the entire session,
see the ‘Town meeting, at a glance’ sidebar elsewhere
in this edition.
The budget. In two out of the last three years, the
budget has consumed a large amount of rancorous
time at town meeting. This year, not so. After Town
Manager Philip Lemnios gave an overview of the
$36.8-million budget he recommended, only three
items were held for discussion, all for reasons of clarification
rather than objection. They were the budgets
for the planning board, the building department, and
emergency preparedness.
These line items were quickly approved, after a
few clarifying questions were answered.
Many held their collective breath when the school
department’s budget was read, anticipating objections
from school supporters in search of more money, but
no objections were raised. In two of the last three
years, the school budget was a matter of heated contention.
Lemnios made particular mention of the depleted
Stabilization Fund, which is, he said, “for all intents
and purposes, drained.” Only $397,993 is left in the
fund. This will, he estimated, be gone in about two
years, unless it is replenished.
The Stabilization Fund has mainly been used in

still was “within the scope”’ of the original
because town residents who read
the warrant would have known that the
potential existed for a contract between
the town and South Shore Mobility and
thus had “fair warning” to make any
objections known.
Resident John Donohue challenged
Ciccariello’s ruling, and so ensued a
lively procedural debate that ended with
the moderator’s first-ever ruling being
overturned.
Usually, parliamentary procedure
would have mandated that the TM body
return, if not to the motion printed in the
warrant, at least to some form of it that
was deemed to be within its “scope.”
But no amount of huddling among
the interim moderator, Town Counsel
James Lampke, and a visibly bewildered
and vacillating Judeth Van Hamm could
produce a new motion that was acceptable
to the now-heated crowd, who
seemed only to want JPods derailed by
the most expedient means possible.
When Van Hamm attempted a substitute
motion to refer the matter to selectmen,
she was superseded by yet another
motion that called for “no action,” a
parliamentary move to table the matter.

editorial
We’ve always believed that if you give people
enough information, they make good choices. That
adage was proved at town meeting this week as voters
consistently made wise decisions, plodding through
some very technical and sometimes conflicting information
to separate the grains of real data from the
verbal chaff.
In those deliberations, voters were frequently aided
by PowerPoint presentations from town officials that
defined complex issues like why Hull needs a bylaw
that requires annual inspections of rental properties,
or why we need to bond $1.2 million to rebuild the
DPW barn.
But voters were actually hampered again this year
by Town Moderator Michael Nuesse’s seeming inability
to run a coherent town meeting.
Nuesse is a great guy, but he’s not a great moderator.
In fact, he seems particularly ill suited to the job.
We wish it didn’t matter, that being town moderator
was a ceremonial post with all the consequence of
being elected Mr. Hull Congeniality. But that’s not so.
Orchestrating and conducting town meeting is a difficult
job that requires real leadership, quick reflexes,
and deft people skills, along with solid grounding in
parliamentary procedure and municipal structure and
processes.
Not only must the moderator possess a thorough
grasp of the warrant articles confronting each town
meeting, he has to take charge of the support staff,
working closely with everyone from Town Clerk
Janet Bennett, who operates the lottery wheel, to the
tellers who tally the numbers on a standing vote. They
deserve to know, in advance, what their roles are and
how the moderator wants the tasks divided.
It was painful to watch the tellers try to decide how

victim protests parrot
owners’ actions, selectmen’s
reaction to assault
Op/Ed, submitted by Joseph DiMarzio
Regarding your article in last week’s Times with
the headline “After 2 years, Parrot owners ‘reluctantly’
accept sanction” [May 3], I guess I’m baffled why,
after being able to avoid any penalty for over two
years, The Red Parrot was given what amounts to a
one-day suspension of its liquor license?
I’m also puzzled by the description of the incident
that led to the license violations that Police Chief Rick
Billings gave at the selectmen’s meeting.
I also question the need to use the name of the
victim – me! – during this meeting, yet there was no
mention of the severe injuries I received; no mention
of the person who assaulted me being convicted of
assault and battery; no mention that I called the Hull
Police to report this at 8 a.m. the next day; no mention
that [Red Parrot] owner Bea D’Angelo stated that her
reason for not calling the police at the time of the incident
was that [state Sen. Bob Hedlund was at the bar.

SupportS background checkS for potential town
licenSe holderS…
To the Editor:
I applaud Chief Richard Billings for initiating
[town meeting] Article 23 for the town of Hull. This
is a step in the right direction toward maintaining the
protection of our citizens, children, and visitors. I’m
certainly no attorney, but I don’t know why anyone
would mind being fingerprinted in order to obtain a
license to do business.
Without trying to use scare tactics, is it so wrong
that we want to be assured:
• that the ice cream truck operators don’t have criminal
histories for crimes against children;
• that a pawnshop owner doesn’t have a criminal history
for housebreaks, or dealing in stolen property;
• that the door-to-door solicitors who come to our
house when our children are home alone from school
don’t have a history of violent crimes, housebreaks,
or drug problems;
• that the person you hire to drive you or your kids
from one point to the other hasn’t been arrested for a
sex crime or other violent acts.
I understand that sometimes people make poor
decisions, or come upon some bad times and, as a
result, may have been arrested for some minor crimes.
I know that an arrest record doesn’t mean they can’t
be rehabilitated and become productive members of
society.
However, having said that, I feel the leadership
of Hull should be able to have that criminal history
knowledge before issuing a license to someone who
will be in direct contact with our citizens.
After all, if you don’t have anything to hide, you
should be willing to submit to the fingerprinting. How
many jobs these days require a fingerprint check and
a drug screen ?
Mike Bradford
School critic manipulated the numberS…
To the Editor:
While I understand Jim Tobin’s concern for the
town’s Stabilization Fund, I take great exception to
his letter published in the May 3rd edition of The Hull
Times. I respect his viewpoint supporting the town
manager’s budget, and even his support of the town
manager (even though this opinion seems based more
on what others think rather than his own observations).
However, his manipulation of numbers to support his
cause is not only misleading, but a completely unethical
exploitation of the truth.
It may be statistically true that the average Hull
teacher salary has risen over the past six years, but it is
also true the school department has been more affected
by budget cutting layoffs than any other department
in the town, while the cost of living has grown more
than the salaries. Layoffs directly affect those with the
least seniority, and those with the least seniority are
also the ones at the lowest part of the salary scale. It
does not take a rocket scientist to figure out when the
lowest paid workers are removed from the list, the
average of that list will increase.
It is also worth mentioning that teachers this year
are working more than 30 more hours than previous
years as part of the collective bargaining agreement.
To imply the rest of the town workers have only increased
their average salary by three percent during
the same time period is simply inaccurate.
The average salary for a full time patrol officer in
2004 was $63,282; today it is $79, 345, a 25 percent
increase. The police chief was making $108,096 in
2004; today, he makes $137,312, a 27 percent increase.
The town manager was making $102,433 in 2004;
today, the current town manager makes $156,869, a
53% increase.
To manipulate numbers in order to justify an
opinion not only presents inaccurate information, it
is downright unethical. As a former selectman and
former advisory board member, Mr. Tobin should
know better.

[Greg Cunningham is a Hull High teacher. For the
record, the town manager in 2004 was Christopher
McCabe, who left the town’s employ in 2007. The current
town manager is Philip Lemnios. We’ll leave it to
the reader to decide if the letter writer’s correlation of
their salaries constitutes “manipulating the numbers
to justify an opinion.” –Editor]

Grant will assist town
to plan DCR zoning
By Catherine Goldhammer
Robert Fultz, director of planning and community
development, said this week that the town has won
a small but important grant to further the process of
developing the state Department of Conservation &
Recreation property now under lease to the town.
The $15,000 grant, awarded by the Metropolitan
Area Planning Council (MAPC), will be used for
professional and technical support in the project.
Specifically, it will be used to explore and develop
recommendations for the DCR property and other
area zoning.
Last year participants in a series of public meetings
came up with several scenarios for use of the property.
These included mixed commercial uses, such as retail
stores, a movie theater, and a hotel. According to Fultz,
these uses would not be permitted under current zoning.
In order for the DCR re-use project to go forward,
the zoning will have to change.
The grant will provide funds that will be used to
explore and recommend alternative zoning.
The assistance will come from the MAPC professional
staff and will include a review not just of the
DCR property but of a wider area, extending from
Phipps St. to Rockland House Rd.
Hull Light needs to innovate,
commission candidate asserts
Hull Light candidate John Johnson
issued the following position statement
this week:
The town of Hull is very proud of its
two windmills, as it should be. Hull is recognized
as a trailblazer when it comes to
wind power. Our windmill story, however,
is becoming old news. Other municipalities
are passing us by when it comes to
deploying new technologies that help
utilities to better manage power and energy
usage, minimize outages, and operate
more efficiently, thus keeping rates low.
Aside from wind power, Hull Light
Plant should be aggressively considering
options for solar and tidal power. And

“It is a good planning area,” said Fultz, because
it is heavily impacted by the use of the beach. The
DCR leased property is currently zoned open space.
The other segments of the area contain a variety of
multi-use zones.
Fultz explained that the grant is an important one
because it is coming from a regional planning agency,
which indicates that this area is significant to the region,
not just the town.
“This underscores the fact that revitalization of
this area is important on a regional basis,” he said.
This is an important distinction that can impact
other current and future grant applications, Fultz said.
Those other projects include rebuilding Nantasket
Ave. in the Surfside area and rebuilding Bay Avenue
East. A joint transportation project with Hingham
concerns the George Washington Boulevard corridor.
Each grant has the potential to build on the others,
said Fultz, and all of them have the potential to further
the overall plan or vision for the area.
Rep. Garrett Bradley and Sen. Robert Hedlund are
working very closely with the town on this and other
planning projects. Fultz said that they communicate
with the planning department on a weekly basis and
sometimes more often.
“I thank the [MAPC] Council for supporting the
town’s development vision for the property,” said
Bradley in a recent press release. “This funding ensures
that the area will be redeveloped to promote
economic activity and will provide added benefit to the
local residents and 500,000 visitors who are welcomed

recent years to pay for the Memorial School’s renovations.
Lemnios also pointed out the need for capital
investment in the town’s infrastructure. “We need
the political will to do this,” he said. “None of these
things will repair themselves.”
Article 9. This article, which proposed a $1 perhour
raise for the Hull Department of Public Works’
summer crew, drew a surprising amount of discussion,
probably because the advisory board, which recommends
“action” or “no action” on the various articles,
had recommended against the payraise.
Lemnios and selectmen Chairman John Reilly
spoke about the difficulty of the job. The summer
crew cleans the beaches and maintains the cemetery
and the parks. They had not, said Lemnios, had a raise
in some time.
“It is back-breaking work,” said Reilly, noting
the many miles of coastline that need cleaning on a
regular basis, and the noxious task of clearing tons
of fly-infested seaweed from the beaches through
manual labor.
Lemnios said that the raise would amount to an
overall budget increase of $6,400. The motion was
passed.
Article 10. This article asked town meeting to
authorize the town to “raise and appropriate funds”
needed for replacement of the roofs of the library
and the senior center and for repairs to the DPW
headquarters known in town as the “highway [department]
barn.”
The majority of the funds, which would be in the
form of a bond (loan) for $1.2 million, would go to
the DPW building. DPW Director Joseph Stigliani
described the work needed and showed a series of
slides that depicted the condition of the building,
which is, frankly, shocking.
The roof, walls, floors have deteriorated. The
plumbing and electrical systems need full replacement.
(The building, Stigilani said, has one bathroom
that functions only some of the time. Slide showing
restroom’s proximity to the space where DPW crews
eat elicited an audible “Euw” from TM participants.]
Advisory board member David Clinton said that
the situation was even worse than shown. “The pictures
don’t do it justice. It is in dire need of work. The
fact that our DPW is working in this environment is
deplorable,” he said.
Lemnios explained that the building is the only
place in town that can house the DPW building and

that it will need to be there for the foreseeable future.
Kingsley Rd. resident Catherine Morgan suggested
that it would be less expensive to replace the building
with a pre-fab metal structure. Lemnios explained
that because of the special needs of the department,
including the need for adequate ventilation systems
and plumbing, that would not be a workable solution.
Others said that $1.1 million would clearly not meet
the cost of renovating the building.
Lemnios explained that the town would engage a
structural engineer to examine the building and make
recommendations as to its repair and estimates on the
cost of the project. The bond, he said, is like “a line of
credit.” The money would not actually be borrowed
until it was deemed that the building could be repaired
and the money available would cover the cost.
Mary Curtiss noted that the wording of the article
did not reflect that proviso.
An amended motion that more clearly described
the process Lemnios had described was drafted and
passed.
Article 30. This article requested that the town
change a bylaw that requires rental properties to be
inspected yearly to one that requires inspections only
when tenancy turns over. Catherine Morgan urged the
meeting to accept this article. She said that she owns
rental property in town and called the existing bylaw
an “invasion of privacy.”
But Sheila Connor said that yearly inspections

were “a point of pride” for her when she was a landlord,
being able to prove to tenants that she kept her
properties in good repair.
Public Health Director Joyce Sullivan spoke about
the need for yearly inspections and showed a series
of slides detailing the condition of some rental units
during inspection. One of these showed a newly renovated
unit only six months after rental. It was strewn
with trash and debris. Others showed trash piled up
outside dwellings.
“In six months a hoarder can collect a huge amount
of stuff,” she said.
Peter Lombardo, building commissioner, agreed
that yearly inspections by the town’s code safety officials
– fire safety, health and building departments –
protect the rights of both tenants and property owners.
“There are things that go on in this town that you
don’t know go on in this town,” he said.
Advisory board member Jay Polito noted that
some rentals last for years, even decades, meaning
that inspections would almost never occur. The advisory
board spoke unanimously in opposition to the
proposed change.
The motion was denied and the bylaw requiring
annual inspections was upheld.
Article 31. This article asked the town to authorize
the board of selectmen to consider selling a 735
square-foot piece of land, currently owned by the
town and used by the sewer department, to Randall
C. Parrott. Parrott owns an adjacent property and said
that he wanted the additional piece of land so that
he can meet setback requirements and relocate and
reconstruct his house. He said that he did not intend
to build on the property.
A vote of “yes” would not approve the sale; it
would only give the selectmen the ability to consider
the proposal. However, in contrast to Parrott’s article
that was printed in the warrant, the formal motion
made at the meeting was for 1,200 square feet.
John Schmid and other members of the advisory
board, which had recommended favorable action
on the warrant article, took issue with the increased
square footage.
Advisory board member David Clinton said that
the town should “think hard and long about how we
give up town property.”
Ed Petrilak, recently retired sewer department
director, said that the land in question has an outflow
pipe underneath it that carries treated wastewater two
miles out to sea. He said that with “ever-changing
wastewater legislation,” he was strongly opposed to
conveying this land.
The motion was denied.
Miscellanea. A series of articles concerning the
recent changes in flood zones were considered and
quickly passed. These changes are needed due to federal
emergency management requirements. Without
them in place, lenders will not give mortgages and
some property owners might not qualify for flood
insurance.
A motion was passed that would allow the Harbormaster
Department to replace its pump-out boat. It
is anticipated that 75 percent of the allotted $80,000
would be refunded to the town when the department
receives a Marine Fisheries grant.
Three nonbinding resolutions were passed. The
first asked town meeting to support the town of Hull’s
application to become a “Coast Guard City.”
The second commended Charles Ryder for his long
service to the advisory board. Ryder is retiring from
the board that he has served on since 1989.
The third resolution, presented by Selectman
Christopher Olivieri, asked the town to call for the
MBTA, the governor, and the state Legislature to
address current problems in the MBTA structure and
budget and to support Hull’s unique public transportation
needs. ∞

Town meeting,
at a glance
Compiled by Susan Ovans
Voters deliberated 34 articles in
the annual town meeting warrant over
the course of two nights, Monday and
Tuesday. For the first time in many
years, there was no special town meeting
warrant.
According to Town Clerk Janet Bennett,
305 voters attended Monday night’s
session; 158 deliberated on Tuesday.
Here’s the list of warrant articles and
voters’ action on each:
Art. 1-6. Approved. These so-called
“housekeeping articles” allow the town
to enter into contracts with the state,
arrange for the town’s banking, and set
salaries for some town officials. These
articles are the same year to year.
Art. 7. Approved. Allows the harbormaster
to spend up to $80,000 to replace
his department’s pump-out vessel and
equipment, contingent upon the receipt
of a grant that will reimburse the town
for 75 percent of the total expended.
Art. 8. Approved. Appropriates $2.8
million to operate the sewer department.
The funds come from user fees and other
revenue the wastewater treatment plant
generates.
Art. 9. Approved. Raised the wages
of seasonal DPW workers by $1 an hour,
from $10 to $11. The move will cost the
town an extra $6,400 per year.
Art. 10. Approved. Authorized the
town to borrow up to $1.2 million to
repair the roofs on the library and Scully
Senior Center and to make repairs to the
DPW “barn.”
The Tax man – Jim Tobin has earned a
reputation in Hull as a fiscal watchdog.
Kay Moleta was seated at Tobin’s right.
[Roger Jackson photo]
Art. 11. Approved. Sets departmental
budgets and apportions money to
pay for government operations. The
$36.8-million budget approved by voters
was put forth, in its entirety, by the
town manager and recommended by the
advisory board.
Art. 12. Approved. Affirms that revenues
from the sale of electricity will
be used for Hull Light operations and
expenses.
Art. 13. Approved. Authorizes various
town departments that operate with
“revolving funds” to raise money and
expend it, in accordance with certain
limitations approved by TM voters.
Art. 14. No action. Voters tabled a
motion by selectmen Chairman John
Reilly to appropriate money to repair
the town’s war memorials and install
the names of Hull residents who served
in the nation’s armed forces during the
various wars. Reilly said he would soon
announce details of an effort to raise the
needed money privately.
Art. 15 and 16. Approved. Voters
approved a local option tax on both restaurant
meals and hotel rooms that state
revenue officials estimate will raise an
estimated $200,000 for the town. Town
officials want to use most of the anticipated
receipts to fund capital repairs to
infrastructure like roads and seawalls.
Art. 17. Approved. Clarifies the
town’s intent to petition for special legislation
to extend the lease of the Scout
Building on Nantasket Ave. to allow for
a 25-year contract.
Art. 18. Defeated. For the second
consecutive year, voters defeated a
proposal that would codify penalties for
“Problem and Foreclosed” properties
whose owners have abandoned maintenance
efforts.
Art. 19. Approved. Allows the town
accountant to clear the books of bondissue
balances that were authorized
for various projects, but ultimately not
needed. No actual dollars are involved.
This is an accounting maneuver that
required TM approval.

that dictates that employees whose
services are paid for by grants will also
have their benefits – pension, health insurance,
taxes, for example – also paid
by the grants, when possible.
Art. 21. Approved. Clarifies the role
of the town’s tax collector, as suggested
by auditors.
Art. 22. Approved. Set up a special

Up to the challenge – John Donohue challenged
the moderator’s ruling on the JPods motion. [Roger

Editorial
Continued from page 2
to best count the shifting mass of voters at both Monday
and Tuesday nights’ sessions. It would have been
funny were it not apparent that the counts that were
recorded were just plain wrong. And since the JPods
motion was decided by just three votes, it’s probable
that an inaccurate count had real consequence.
Moreover, the moderator’s refusal to read long
motions – and by “long” we mean some that were
only two or three paragraphs – was a genuine disservice
to all who had taken the time to attend town
meeting, but in particular for people whose eyesight
is impaired. Nuesse’s disregard for protocol was
particularly egregious in those cases where the motion
submitted to the moderator was substantially
changed from what was printed in the warrant, as
was the case with the so-called Abandoned and
Foreclosed Properties article.
You cannot simply tell voters to “delete Section
I V and change the subsequent Section V to I V, and
so on,” and make a series of other verbal changes
to a six-page warrant article and expect that the
ensuing debate is going to be based on any real
comprehension.
All around us, people were perplexed, as were
we. “What did he say? What does this mean? Is
this part in?”
“I don’t know.”
(Collective shrug.)
Nuesse’s predecessor, John Russell, insisted on
reading every motion during his 30 years in the
moderator’s post. That recitation, even of detailed
zoning amendments, actually helped keep the meetings
moving because everyone knew what they were
voting on most of the time. And when we didn’t,
Russell did his best to explain it to us.
The confusion that flawed much of this annual
town meeting could have been avoided if the moderator
simply took the time to read every motion.
It also would be a major help if, after five years
in the post, he were up to speed on town meeting
procedures. Too often, Nuesse is simply wrong in his
rulings and unwilling to take the time to look things
up in the guidebook when challenged.
Those of us who are of a certain age and who
have attended many a town meeting just have no

patience for sloppy or ill-considered actions. For example,
we take strong exception when Charles Gould,
who was first on his feet to speak on Article 18, was
made to wait until 10 or 12 others had spoken at great
length, seemingly only because the moderator decided
to start on his right and advance around the room and
not take speakers in the order in which they had stood.
When Gould, an octogenarian, gestured to be
heard, the moderator brusquely waved him off, saying
he should “be patient” and wait.
But a successful call for the question would have
denied Gould his right to be heard on an article that
mattered to him a great deal. So it may not have
been an insignificant decision that the moderator
made, and made only because it was easier for him
to track would-be speakers by location rather than
sequentially.
The point is that town meeting voters take their
civic duty seriously. They realize that this is important
business, enacting bylaws and budgets. TM voters
know the rules and do their research.
Their elected moderator should show respect for
their efforts and invest the time and effort needed to
be as well prepared. ∞
Letters
Continued from page 2
Hull who called and approached me at town meeting
about my letter and ad in last week’s Hull Times. I
hoped it helped to open some people’s eyes on how
difficult it is to create a balanced budget and how
unfair the process has been in the last few years.
Also, to the school committee person who tried to
intimidate me at town meeting, the answer is, “The ad
was worth every penny” just to show the taxpayers
the real numbers of the school department and town
government.
Again thank you for all your support. I really
appreciate it.

Town does need To invesTigaTe TransporTaTion
issues…
To the Editor:
After most articles on the warrant were heard and
acted upon, town meeting diehards finally got a chance
to react to Judeth Van Hamm’s Article 32 that, when
one cuts through all the verbiage, sought to bring an
elevated rail transportation system call JPods to our
peninsula.
I admit that I’ve been against JPods from my
first research on the JPods and South Shore Mobility
websites. Not only are JPods compared to amusementlike
transportation, I was concerned about the need
for a 12-month solution to address a 12-week traffic
problem, and how JPods would bring any real benefit
to Hull. The town would get very little money for
granting use of our main road to the privately owned
South Shore Mobility and there is no evidence or
experience with JPods that demonstrate it’s a system
that would be able to provide reliable transportation
with our high winds and corrosive climate.
But, for the time being, I and others who have
concerns about JPods can relax. Town meeting participants
were agitated when this article was finally called,
but with some confusion and alternative proposals,
we finally put this issue to rest for at least a year by

voting no action on Article 32.
However, the fundamental issue remains that Hull
should continue to study and identify what transportation
and traffic issues we have, and then, what options
are available that are safe, environmentally friendly,
and provide benefits to the town and our residents.
I urge the selectmen to resurrect the Sustainable
Transportation Committee with fresh faces and new
ideas and direct the committee to investigate solutions
that truly address our town’s needs.
Janet Strecker
Jpods discussion should be TerminaTed…
To the Editor:
I was at the town meeting Tuesday evening and
want to comment on the action on Article 32, the
JPod idea.
My reason for writing is to try to avoid an incorrect
interpretation of the vote on that article.
First off, the great majority of those around me
were strongly opposed to the idea, project, and article,
as am I.
Setting the scene, after the moderator override,
the article on the floor was Article 32 as written in the
warrant. The moderator permitted Ms. Van Hamm to
enter a substitute motion to refer it back to a study.
Next, a substitute motion of no action was proposed
and seconded. After much discussion, the “no action”
substitute motion was voted on and passed by a 73
to 70 vote.
In my area of the hall, several folks said to vote
against the substitute no action motion so it would
fail, then to vote against the study motion so we
could vote on Article 32 itself, as written. They said
voting no action on the main motion (rather than the
substitute motion) would make it “go away for good.”
This approach didn’t make sense to me but a lot of
the 70 votes against the substitute motion were made
on this premise.
It is entirely incorrect to interpret the three-vote
difference as a near victory, indicating that a lot of
folks are for this idea. I am sure that the proponents
will try to interpret it that way.
We do not really want to hear any more about this
impractical, unworkable idea. I hope that the Times
will exercise some restraint in publishing Ms. Van
Hamm›s endless, long articles.

village people say ‘hello spring!’…
To the Editor:
The Hull Village Association recognizes the following
people who made the fourth annual Hello
Spring! party a rollicking good time: Bob Pahl and
Mike Myers, new residents in the Village, who generously
volunteered to be in charge of selecting and
setting up the yummy party food; Dick Tibbetts,
Village resident and owner of A Street Liquors, for
kindly donating a case of fine wine, and Stephen
Licare, manager of A Street, for ordering and Matt
Hernandez for delivering the party beverages; Michael
Aprea of Nantasket Shores for creation and delivery
of a flavorful appetizer; Judy Fanuele for the bounteous
bouquets of fragrant lilacs; Michelle and the Hull
Lifesaving Museum for not only allowing us to take
over and rearrange the place, but also helping us to
do it again. An especially big thank you goes to all
our guests and new members for having such a ball
welcoming spring to the Village. If you want to get

That motion did not satisfy some voters, who said
they wanted to deal JPods a regulatory deathblow.
“I am opposed to no action because I’d like an
opportunity to say a final no tonight,” said former
selectman Dennis Blackall, a sentiment amplified by
transportation professional Pamela Wolfe.
“I want this body to have an opportunity to say no
to this concept tonight,” Wolfe said.
Selectmen Chairman John Reilly earned a laugh
and a round of applause when he said “probably the
easiest way to kill this is to refer JPods to the selectmen
for study...
“I figured I’d say it before someone else did,” he
said later.
Not surprisingly, a voice vote on the no action motion
was challenged. The motion passed on a standing
count, 73-70.
Ciccariello left the podium to a standing ovation
after he thanked the crowd for “a wonderful experience.”
Nuesse regained control of the microphone, although
not entirely of the restive crowd, and managed
to cajole a vote on the final three warrant articles
before the meeting broke up at 10:15, without even a
formal motion to adjourn.
Tuesday night’s town meeting voters completed
action on 13 articles. Notably, voters for the second
year spurned Selectman John Brannan’s attempt to
control blighted properties through a bylaw that would
have allowed the town to fine or otherwise penalize
property owners who abandon maintenance efforts.
Proponents of Article 18, like Jean Lucreziano,
said they commended Brannan’s effort to improve
neighborhoods’ appearance and safety.
Detractors like Daniel Sullivan said the six-page
proposal was both overreaching and too vague.
Advisory board member Ernest Minelli said he
opposed it because it didn’t provide for dispute mediation,
or an appeals process, and seemed to be “clearly
enforcement driven.”
Voters approved Articles 15 and 16, which allow
local option taxes on restaurant meals and hotel rooms
that the state estimates will add $200,000 annually to
town coffers.
Town officials want to use most of the money
for capital improvement projects, although they said
they are not opposed to using some small percentage
to promote the town, as has been espoused by the
Chamber of Commerce.
Supporters of the new tax, like John ‘Doc’ Silva,
said the town needs the money, and that the burden will
fall mainly on summer visitors and not property owners.
Opponents like Daniel Sullivan said the local op-

all welcome at Cohasset
Community supper
On Friday, May 18, the parish hall at St. Stephen’s
Church in Cohasset will once again play host for an
“Old-Fashioned Community Supper,” the brainchild
of local clergy, who sought a way to bring their congregations
and the community together for an evening
of food and fellowship.
“The first community supper in January was an
overwhelming success,” said associate rector of St.
Stephen’s, Adam Thomas. “We expected people to
come by, eat some dinner, and leave, but so many
people remained to chat with one another and just
enjoy each other’s company.”
Members of St. Stephen’s, St. Anthony’s, Second
Congregational, and First Parish, the four churches
in downtown Cohasset, will be teaming to provide a
main course, salad, bread, and dessert for hundreds
of people.
Everybody in the community, whether or not they
are members of a local church, is welcome and encouraged
to attend. Dinner will be served beginning at 5
p.m. and will continue until 8 p.m. Just go as you are
and leave full of food and good company. There is
no cost to attend the dinner, and you don›t have to be

“Seeing folks of all ages and backgrounds come
together to share a meal and serve one another at the
first Community Supper in January was a beautiful
thing to experience,” said St. Stephen’s events coordinator
Mary Whitehouse.
At the supper, there will be a special “Children’s
Corner” with books and toys, and plenty of music
(and feel free to bring your favorite instrument, if
it’s portable). Cohasset Elder Affairs is planning
transportation for any who need it. If you have any
questions, want to volunteer to serve at the meal, or

With an $112/week fee, Cohasset Recreation Department
is bridging the gap many parents face each
summer, the gap between the quality and affordability
of summer programs.
“This program fills that void where it offers
the bests of both worlds; providing the kids the
independence they are looking for while hanging out
with new and old friends but, most importantly for
parents, it is in a fun and safe atmosphere,” according
to Carroll.
What’s in store this summer? The program meets
four days a week beginning June 26 at Cohasset High
School, Monday through Thursday, with field trips on
Tuesdays and Thursdays.
On Mondays and Wednesdays the group of about
45 middle school students will participate in various
sports, crafts, challenges, team builders, and social
activities.
The program is supervised by counselors and directors
with many years of experience working with
children.

Klezmer band will help temple

Temple Beth Sholom hosts Misha

by Misha Grandel, who performs locally

Independence Day celebration.

change hanging around your dresser, your couch, the

Red Parrot Op/Ed
Continued from page 2
Here is my account of what transpired, as I was
never given the opportunity to speak before the selectmen.
I was at The Red Parrot on March 20, 2010, with
my girlfriend and seven of her mother›s best friends,
for less than 20 minutes. After three instances of a man
approaching my girlfriend and her mother›s friends
on the dance floor, I asked him to step away and, with
my head turned, I was sucker-punched.
I grabbed the individual and we fell to the floor.
As I was on the ground, I was getting punched in the
back of the head several times. This is turned out to
be by two employees of The Red Parrot. As we were
separated, I felt incredible pain and I could feel several
loosened teeth.
I pleaded with the person who was trying to push
me out the door to call the police and to not let the
person who suckered me to leave before the police arrived.
After being shoved out the back door, the same
person who assaulted me was waiting just outside the
door and attempted to throw another punch. He was
then pulled away by the second bouncer.
Bea D’Angelo came out after a few minutes
and introduced herself. She was very apologetic
and asked me if I needed anything. She went and got
me some ice. By then the individual who originally
assaulted me was gone, and there was no sign of the

I asked her why she didn›t call the police. I told
her that had she called right away, when I was first
assaulted, the police would have been there and arrested
the person on the spot.
“Now he’s long gone,” I said.
After two surgeries and $11,000 in dental work
and two partially torn shoulders, I still feel the pain
every day of my “nice night out” at the Parrot 2-1/2
years ago, and now that pain has turned to anger and
utter frustration.
The Red Parrot had been serving drinks to the
person who assaulted me for at least five hours. This
information is in the police report. The bartender
stated the male appeared drunk. This is also in the police
report. The Red Parrot, per its insurance company,
has security cameras throughout the bar. Mysteriously,
when owner Richard D’Angelo tried to make a copy
of the tape of the night that I was assaulted for police
review, the tape erased. Shocker!
The owners had an innocent customer assaulted
not once but three separate times inside their establishment
and they didn›t call the police. One of them
then lied to the police in filing a false report, saying,
“There was an argument in the parking lot.”
That was only one of eight violations that they were
cited for by selectmen last week, and then they “reluctantly
agree” to a one-day suspension mid-week?
I suggest to all bar owners and restaurants in the
town of Hull that, if you have an incident in your place

of business, do the following because the precedent
has been set:
1. Don’t call the police.
2. If you have a security camera, get rid of the tape.
3. If you do get caught lying to the police, blame
the victim.
4. Delay your suspension for at least 2-1/2 years.
5. When you finally get your incredibly lenient
punishment from the selectmen, act like you got
screwed.

Happy Mother’s Day, Betty Archer
By Amy Archer
My relationship with God got off to
a shaky start.
It all began when I was about 7 years
old. You see, my mom started falling a lot.
We would be walking in the grocery store
or in Marshall’s and then, poof!, she would
be sprawled out on the linoleum floor.
At first I thought that she must have
slipped or tripped, but after many more
tumbles, I realized that there wasn’t
anything wrong with the floor.
She had something called multiple
sclerosis. For a kid that was merely a
big word that meant that she was tippy
and had to wear sensible shoes with
gummy soles. As her MS progressed, her
choices in footwear declined. No heels,
she would need lace-up styles that could
fit a plastic molded brace that cupped
her heel and wrapped her calf. Shoes
the color of Band-Aids were preferable,
since they coordinated with anything.
So what got God and me off to a
rocky start, you ask? Well, it began with
something that my older sister said to
me. Karen was six years my senior and
a couple of feet taller than me. So when
I was seven, she was … well, an adult.
OK, I know that math doesn’t add up,
but that is how it felt. She was 5’9” tall,
brainy and brazen, even her questions
sounded like statements.
One day she bent down, her face was
close to mine and she said flatly, “You
know, Mom is going to be deaf and
crippled someday.”
My mind went into a scary swirl; I
was blown into a horrific vision of the
disintegrated future, my mother wasting
away in a wheelchair wearing a dull look
of deaf silence. Ugh.
I blew out of the house crying and
headed toward my friend
Lee Ann Soszynski’s house. Lee was
my next-door neighbor; we each lived in
old country houses set way back from the
road. Whenever we wanted to see each
other, we would run through the windy
long flattened path of unmowed grass
that adjoined our property.
I was bawling as I ran the familiar
route, trying to avoid being whipped in
the face by a rogue branch or slip on a
protruding rock.
Once I got to Lee Ann’s house, I was
sobbing fat tears as I shared the details
that my Mom was a-goner. Lee Ann

was a couple years older than me and
had then what I would later realize was
an aristocratic beauty: perfectly straight
pale blond hair, steady blue eyes, and a
boyishly slim elongated figure.
Not only was Lee Ann a slimmer,
more elegant version of myself, she was
also a Catholic and, more importantly,
she was going to CCD classes. What I
didn’t know is those Catholic teachings
were about to change my entire life.
With a raggedy voice, I told Lee of the
plight that would soon ravage my Mother;
she calmly reached for the oversized paperback
CCD books from her night table.
She opened it to a hand-drawn page
of a little girl kneeling by a twin bed. The
girl wore a loose white nightgown; her
head was lowered as if she was slightly
interested in the blue braided rug beneath
her, and her hands were touching palm
to palm, fingers up.
Lee pointed to the page and said, “All
you have to do is pray for a miracle.”
“A miracle, what’s that?”
“A miracle is when God answers
your prayers”
“Huh?” I thought.
Lee continued, “God gives out miracles
if you need them, but you can only
get one miracle in your whole lifetime.”
I nodded my head, weighing her
words. Lee pointed to the blue-washed
page of the little girl and instructed me
how to order up a miracle.
“Tonight you have to kneel by your
bed. Don’t fall asleep.” Lee’s eyes widened
to illustrate the importance of that
fine fact. Then she tapped on the picture
of the girls praying hands. “Keep your
hands together like this, and ask God
over and over again to take away your
Mom’s multiple sclerosis. In the morning
you will have a miracle and your
Mom wont be sick anymore.”
Wow, those Catholics sure have some
perks. I wiped away the tears, straightened
myself up, and literally skipped
home. I was thinking how lucky I was
to have learned about this secret miracle
ritual. There was only me and few other
well-read CCD kids who now shared this
inside healing scoop. Victory was only
a morning away. My Mom was going to
be pretty pleased with me.
That night, I assumed the miraclemaking
position: kneeling,
head bent, hands together, and asked
God to cure my Mom.

Hannah Evans and her Mom, Kristen, enjoyed a fun run during The Nantasket
Mile fundraiser to benefit the carousel last weekend. [Lucy Wightman photo]
This was my first time ever talking
to God, so I was a bit unsure how to go
about it. After a while I relaxed into more
of a conversational version of the same
wish. I sympathized that he probably had
a busy day, and could see how things
could get messed up in his line of work.
Surely he didn’t mean to give my Mom
MS to start with.
Finally, I thanked him for his miracle
making-ness. All was going well, to be
utterly truthful I was pretty proud of
myself, until I woke up. Oh no, I had
fallen asleep. That was one of the key
miracle-making laws, no falling asleep.
I got back on my tender knees, and
once again began asked God to cure my
Mom. This time there was no casual
chitter chatter; it was time for straight-on
miracle-making business.
Morning was like Christmas. I felt
exuberant, as if I had guzzled a glass of
Sprite, all bubbly and bouncy.
My mother was in the kitchen making
breakfast when I went to inspect my
work. I watched her move about as she
whisked the eggs. She didn’t tip over.
Looking good, I nodded to myself. I
stood awkwardly near her, waiting for
her to exclaim that she was healed and
how I would take credit for the good
news. She must have sensed that I was
waiting for something, because she
asked me what I was doing.
With a smug smile plastered on my
face I said, “Do you still have MS?” I
still had trouble saying multiple sclerosis.
I waited anxiously for her to confide
the details how she had woken up cured;
maybe she’d knock out a couple of high
kicks to celebrate.
“Yes, of course I do,” she said evenly.
That was the exact moment that God
and I stopped talking. I didn’t see him as
all powerful. I would be cordial if I was
in a room with people who thought He
was the supreme being, but I wouldn’t
let on that I knew the truth. The truth
was God was nice enough, but couldn’t
really be counted on.
Santa was still my guy.
This past Christmas I took my
84-year-old mother to a small non-denominational
service. It was a beautiful
evening. There were candles and even a
fireplace. The singers were foot-tappingly
good. On the quiet ride to her home, I
confided to my mother the story that I just
told you. She listened, but said nothing.
As she got out the car with the aid of
her sporty black crutch, she said to me,
“It worked.”
“What worked?”
“I am not crippled or deaf. It worked.
God did hear you.”

Knights, secretary. All combined to
make the affair a success. During the
evening there was a fine entertainment.
Those taking part in the program were
Mrs. Pearl Desmond, piano solo; also
Miss Letitia Mitchell and Miss Amy
Mitchell, singer, whose voice is noted
for its purity of tone. Mrs. E.G. Serovich
and Mrs. William Sparrow read most
interestingly. Dainty refreshments were
served, and in the course of the evening
a purse of gold was presented to Mr.
Squires, while Mrs. Squires received
many beautiful flowers most graciously.
