Reilly sets ambitious agenda
for board deliberations
By Catherine Goldhammer
In the board’s first regular meeting
since the May 16 town election, John
Reilly took the gavel as the new chairman
of the reorganized board of selectmen
and laid out a definitive plan for his
term at the helm.
He announced that each month, one
of the town’s department heads will attend
the selectmen’s meeting to report
on their department, division, or board,
and to answer questions.
The visits are scheduled through
next February and include the heads of
the board of health, the sewer plant, the
DPW, the conservation and building
departments, the light plant, the town
assessor, and the fire and police chiefs.
In addition, Reilly announced that
Town Manager Philip Lemnios will be
available for an hour prior to the selectmen’s
meeting once a month to meet
with the public and answer questions. On
another Tuesday each month, Reilly will
be available to the public. Schedules for
these opportunities will be announced.
In a plan designed to streamline and
focus meetings, Reilly stated that once a
motion is made and seconded, there will
be no further input from the public and
that he would not call on anyone who
speaks out of line or is unruly.
His hope is that commentary from
board members and from the public will
be concise and to the point.
He also announced that he would set
aside time at the end of each meeting for
questions from the press.
In addition to the formation of the
new board, the board of selectmen voted
to reappoint the town’s lawyer, James
Lampke, to another year’s employment.
Selectman Domenico Sestito began
by saying that Lampke “has proved over
and over again how valuable he is to this
town and this government.”
Lemnios said, “It is a good evening
for the town when we have the opportunity
to reappoint Jim Lampke as town
counsel.” Lemnios said that Lampke
puts in well over 40 hours a week on
town business to protect the citizens of
Hull.
“He has to come suited up and ready
to play every day, and he does,” the town
manager said.
Selectman Kevin Richardson said
that many in town don’t realize how
many other boards and commissions in
town call upon Lampke for advice and
service.
Selectman John Brannan thanked
Lampke for his help with the parking
study committee and the issues on Bay
Street.
In response to a question from
resident Patrick Finn about Lampke’s
salary, Lemnios said that the attorney’s
compensation is treated like that of all
nonunion employees and will increase
by three percent for fiscal year 2012,
which begins Jul. 1.
“I won’t let him near a calculator with
a division key,” said Lemnios, explaining
that the hourly rate the town pays
Lampke is far less than what it would
be paying independent counsel.
The reappointment was unanimously
passed.
The selectmen now moved on to the
waterfront, of which Hull has more than
25 miles, and which is under the over-

Hanover educator named new,
‘best’ principal for middle school
By Susan Ovans
If it’s true that everyone has an aura
– a subtle color field of radiation that
surrounds an individual – Anthony A.
Hrivnak’s must be blue and gold.
Hrivnak is the assistant principal at
Hanover High School and, come September,
he will be the new principal at
Hull’s Memorial School. Both districts
parade the blue and gold as school
colors.
Hull schools Superintendent Dr.
Kathleen Tyrell introduced Hrivnak
[pronounced riv-nack, the H is silent] at
Wednesday’s school committee meeting.
She detailed a rigorous search process
that considered many candidates
before settling on Hrivnak as “the very
best principal for Memorial Middle
School.”
“I do regret that Hanover is losing
such a fine educator, and I understand
that they are devastated,” Tyrell said,
“but Hanover’s loss is truly our gain.”
The superintendent said that interim
Principal Paula Maxwell chose not to

Sweet nothings: School bans cupcakes
The only cupcakes one is likely to
find in the halls of the Jacobs Elementary
School next year will be “homebaked”
Johnny Cupcakes T-shirts.
Citing health concerns as peanut and
other food allergies have become pervasive
among American children, Hull’s
elementary school is joining a long list
of others nationwide in banning individual
birthday celebrations and their
traditional centerpiece,
the cupcake.
Principal Jean Penta
told the school committee
Wednesday that the new
policy had been decided
after extensive discussion
among members of the
Jacobs School Council.
Instead of food-based
celebrations, students will have their
birthdates acknowledged during the
school’s morning announcements, and
parents who wish to mark the day will
be encouraged to donate a book or game
for classroom use.
William Tramontana, a parent and
school council member, attended this
week’s meeting and voiced support for
the cupcake ban.
Tramontana said council members
were unanimous in the decision. “Parents
want to send their children to a
safe environment,” he said, adding
that parents can’t always be sure that
apply for the permanent position.
The superintendent and school committee
commended Maxwell for her year
at the helm of the junior high school
while the search committee of faculty
Continued on page 5
store-bought cupcakes don’t contain
nuts, peanut- or other oil derived from
nuts, or that they were made in a nutfree
facility.
The Jacobs is already a declared
peanut-free school, Penta said.
Many school districts have banned
food donations because of health and
safety risks, and also because of other
factors – like the increase in child
obesity and tightening
federal nutrition
guidelines, and income
disparity, where some
children’s parents can
provide lavish classroom
birthday celebrations
and others would
be hard-pressed to contribute
anything.
Penta announced the new policy
during a discussion of revisions to
the elementary school’s handbook.
The principal, who is completing her
first year at the Jacobs’ helm after 15
years as a classroom teacher there, said
the new birthday policy was the only
substantive – and possibly controversial
– amendment made to the Student
Handbook this year.

Memorial Day deserves
special status as a
Day of Remembrance
Senator seeks return of
‘Blue Law’ closure for holiday
Op/Ed, submitted by
Senator Robert L. Hedlund
John A. Logan, famous American general during
the Mexican American War and the father of Memorial
Day, once said, “Let no vandalism of avarice or
neglect, no ravages of time, testify to the present or
to the coming generations, that we have forgotten, as
a people, the cost of a free and undivided Republic.”
To honor the soldiers and their sacrifice, the first
Memorial Day, then called Decoration Day, was conducted
in 1868 on May 30, chosen because it was not
the day of a battle during the Civil War.
These first Memorial Days, both in the North
and South, by all historical accounts were somber
occasions for families and friends to remember their
loved ones. Services were simple and the theme of the
day was remembrance. May 30 was chosen because
it retained significance as a day of peace during the
bloodiest conflict in American history.
This all changed on June 7, 1968, when the federal
government passed the Uniform Holidays Bill, which
moved three holidays from their traditional dates to a
specified Monday, creating a three-day weekend for each.
Memorial Day was one of them, and was moved
from the traditional May 30, a date of importance, to
the last Monday in May. This was the beginning of
the end for the traditional Memorial Day as a day of
remembrance.
As the VFW said in a 2002 Memorial Day address,
“Changing the date merely to create three-day weekends
has undermined the very meaning of the day. No
doubt, this has contributed a lot to the general public’s
nonchalant observance of Memorial Day.”
I could not agree with the VFW’s categorization of
Memorial Day more strongly. A day once reserved for
tradition and honor, for the linking of generations, has
over time been corrupted so as to dilute the significance
of the Memorial Day holiday. A three-day weekend
harkening the start of summer, barbeques, and special
sale promotions at the mall all compete for the attention
of our citizenry for the meaning of the day.
For this reason I have co-sponsored Senate Bill
1826, reinstituting our old Blue Law closure for Memorial
Day only. As politicians and elected officials,
we often invoke the specter of remembrance for our
war dead and their families; we say how important it
is to remember their sacrifices to honor their service.
We then conclude our speeches, and the few who
attend these ceremonies leave, and Memorial Day is
over, to be forgotten for another year.
That is not the ceremony I want for those who
have made the ultimate sacrifice for my freedom.
This Memorial Day, please remember General John
A. Logan and all the men and women who, in the
service of their country, gave their lives.
Remember what this day used to be about, not
what it has become.

Hedlund’s state Senate district.] ∞

To the Editor:
This week, Memorial Day honors those who sacrificed
all. Please attend a remembrance event or visit
a cemetery with our children so they learn freedom

Thank you to patriotic Americans and local media

Not all ‘townies’ were born in Hull…
To the Editor:
“So, are you from Hull?”
Careful. The answer to that question sums up your
entire character for some residents here.
During the course of the recent campaign and
election, I came to the realization that this distinction
is the new divide. More importantly, and much more
sadly, the line between born/raised here and moved
here is no longer just a line, but rather a gap that is
growing bigger, wider, and deeper.
Last spring, my husband and I embarked on buying
a new house. I had lived here nine years already
and my husband had lived here 35 years, raised here
’though not born here, a technicality for some.
After much searching – of towns, neighborhoods,
homes, but mostly, of our souls - we made the definitive
decision to stay here in Hull. Not because we had
found the perfect house, that came later, but regardless
of the town’s economy, the problems and progress in
the schools, the positives and negatives of town government,
we decided that our hearts belonged in Hull.
We chose to stay here, buy a home here, and raise
our family here. Therefore, I take great offense when
those on the other side of the line, during the recent
months especially, question the hearts and loyalties
of residents who live here but are not “true townies.”
I pay the town my taxes, vote in local elections,
attend town meeting, get involved in town issues. I
participate in local events, shop local business, utilize
local services, and support local townspeople, in good
times and bad. And, and, when I am out and about in
the rest of the poor unfortunate world that is not this
beautiful seven-mile stretch of Hull, I enthusiastically
brag about and defend our town. I invite and encourage
people to move here.
What about me then is not a townie?! If we all
gave as much effort to the issues facing our town as
we give opinions to this “townie” debate, we could
– all together, townie and transplant alike – salvage
our special community and make the most of all it
has to offer.
Thank you,
Bree Brasil, proud townie since 2001
Trash tells its own tale, leaves its own
trail…
To the Editor:
I live on James Ave. and every now and then, when
the trash at the end of the street builds up, I grab some
Riddle’s plastic bags – [See? I’m recycling.] – and do
a quick cleanup. Other people also pick up trash there.
It’s pretty much always the same kind of trash and is
an interesting snapshot of the drug culture among our
young adults.
Today – Thursday, May 19 – I found some new
items that I haven’t seen before. There are always
the flavored cigar wrappers [mostly grape] with the
tobacco pulled out and put into a plastic bag [usually
from Cumby’s]. These are unrolled and used to make
blunts, a joint with a nicotine rush. There were probably
20 of these wrappers.
Today, something new: Zig-Zag wraps, Purple
Thunder, “roll your own cigar.” Why waste good tobacco
when you don’t use it, anyway? Zig-Zag sees
a market opportunity.
There was also a large empty can of butane fuel and
an empty bag of balloons [?]. Food for thought there.
Then there are the plastic drink bottles, usually
about pint size, with a hole or two burned into one
end. These are used as a pipe to smoke said herb. The
hole is always burned into the end, never cut into it.
I found three of these. Also several of the very small
Ziplocs bags, some with a bit of herb still inside. A
good party always needs some alcohol and cigarettes
and there was the 18 pack or so of Keystone Lights,
four empty packs of Marlboros, and one empty pack
of Newport Lights. Also energy drink cans, food trash
[McDonald’s], and lots of Styrofoam, napkins, etc.
I don’t have a problem with people smoking a little
herb and having a beer. But do they have to leave all
of the trash at the end of the street? Pick up your trash,
Guys and Girls.
My wife went down one day when the usual

And the disks just keep on coming. Plastic disks
from a sewage plant in Hooksett, New Hampshire
were found on Nantasket Beach this week.
Officials estimate that between 4 and 8 million
two-inch disks that are used in some wastewater treatment
plants to encourage growth of bacteria that feeds
on waste were washed into the Merrimack River in
March and have made their way south.
The disks were a part of a sewage overflow that
occurred on Mar. 6 due to malfunctions after a heavy
rainstorm. Disks have been found along the Merrimack
River and on the beaches of New Hampshire
and Massachusetts.
“As I was leaving the beach I saw one,” said Malta
St. resident Mary Wyman in alerting the Times over
the weekend. “I walked a few feet and saw another,
then another… ”
It is estimated that as many as 8 million disks
were released from the plant. They have been found
on the beaches of Revere, Beverly, Nahant, and many
other communities. The disks have been tested by the
Mass. Department of Environmental Protection and
have been found negative for e. coli and other harmful
bacteria, although officials are asking people not to
touch the disks without gloves.
According to The Boston Globe, the city of
Hooksett has assumed full
financial responsibility for
the overflow and can be
billed for cleanup by affected
communities.
Hull’s Public Health
Director Joyce Sullivan
said Wednesday that disks have been found along
the beach, some at the DCR as high as the walkway
behind the bathhouse, and they continue coming in
sporadically, usually after a storm or on an especially
high tide.
“We’re asking people to just look at them as any
other debris on the beach,” Sullivan said, if people
are inclined to pick them up and dispose of them. –

Memorial Day observances. Hull observes Memorial
Day with a parade that will step off from the
high school at 9:30 a.m. Marchers will convene at
the Village Cemetery’s Gold Star Mothers’ Memorial
for the annual commemoration ceremonies. This
year’s featured speaker is Gen. Richard I. Neal, a
Hull native who retired from the Marine Corps as its
assistant commandant. After the ceremony, the town
will dedicate four public spaces to honor the memory
and services of four now deceased residents:
• A marker will be placed at Packard and Nantasket
avenues in recognition of Patrick Conneely, a decorated
Marine Corps veteran who served in Desert Storm.
• The Green Hill Playground will be renamed for
Joseph Patrick Dunn, a Navy lieutenant and pilot who
was shot down by the Chinese en route to an aircraft
carrier stationed in the Gulf of Tonkin in 1968, during
the Vietnam War. Dunn was later promoted to commander,
and is still listed as missing in action.
• A marker will be placed at Cross St. in memory
of Marine Corps Capt. John J. Kinnear, who served
in World War II, Korea, and Vietnam. Kinnear was
also a special education teacher in Hull for 15 years.
• A marker will be placed on Main St. in honor of
Merrill F. Noddin, a Bronze Star and Purple Heart
recipient who lost his arm as the result of a combat
wound during World War II.

Drain: All mosquitoes require water in which to
breed. Be sure to drain any standing water around
your house.
Dress: Wear light colored, loose-fitting clothing.
Some mosquito species are attracted to dark clothing
and some can bite through tight-fitting clothes. When
practical, wear long sleeves and pants.
Defend: Choose a mosquito repellent that has been
registered by the Environmental Protection Agency.
Registered products have been reviewed, approved,
and pose minimal risk for human safety. Wash
repellent-treated skin after coming indoors.

and parents winnowed a wide field of applicants.
Tyrell ultimately chose the replacement for previous
principal Lynda Feeney, who left the district last year,
when it became clear that she would not be offered a
multi-year contract extension.
Noting that Hrivnak will be next year’s eighth
graders’ third principal in as many years, school committee
Chairman Stephanie Peters said parents had
elicited his promise that he would stay in Hull “for at
least six years.”
Hrivnak smiled at her, nodded, and repeated “at

Hrivnak earned his bachelor’s in chemistry and
professional educator’s certification at the University
of Pittsburgh, where he achieved a perfect grade point
average, 4.0, according to his resume.
He also attained a 4.0 GPA while earning his

coordinators in Hanover on a “curriculum mapping
initiative” for grades 5-12 to “fill gaps and to find
redundancies in the courses students take,” according
to the letter of intent Hrivnak sent to Hull with
his resume.
In brief remarks at Wednesday’s SchoolCom
meeting, Hrivnak said that he “knows that, working
together, we’re going to do great things…”
At the beginning of the meeting, the school board
reorganized its leadership in the wake of the May 16
town election, when longtime member Kevin Richardson
was elected to the board of selectmen.
Eric Hipp was elected to the school committee
and Stephanie Peters was reelected. Neither faced
opposition, but both took time this week to thank the
voters who turned out at the polls.
Hipp noted that he had garnered 1,088 votes to
Peters’ 1,134.
“I’d like a rematch in three years,” he told her.
When member Kristen Evans nominated Peters
it’s worth doing. Go to ocln.org, enter your library
card number in the box at the top of the screen, and
use “ocln” as your password [or pin]. After you log
in, you will be asked to change your password to one
of your choosing. Once you complete this step, you
can manage your account online, see what books you
have checked out, what books are overdue, and what
you have on hold. You can search the catalog, renew
books, and put books on hold. This is guaranteed to
expand your library horizons!
At the Library would love to hear from you. Contact
us by emailing cgoldhammer@ocln.org or by
calling the library at 781 925-2295. ∞
for another year as board chairman, Hipp said he believes
that the post should rotate annually. But in the
absence of any of any other member who wanted the
job – and the accompanying time commitments the
post requires – Peters was cheerfully and unanimously
reelected to the chair.
Marianne Harte will again serve as vice chairman,
and David Twombly was elected board secretary. ∞

This season’s cadre of well-known artists is led
by Ros Farbush, Brooks Kelly, and Dassie Abelson,
as well as many other fine artists overseen by Lenore
Schneider, Art on the Avenue’s founder and proprietor.
Ros Farbush, who is 83 and lives in Hull, says
that she “has been an artist all of my life.” She works
primarily in acrylics, and says, “I want to record the
drama of life.”
Farbush is a member of the prestigious Copley
Society, the oldest art association in America, where
she holds the title of “master painter.” The recipient
of numerous local and national awards, Farbush has
held dozens of solo and juried exhibitions during her
distinguished career. A medley of her colorful impressions
of the everyday are also exhibited in Mexico,
Boston, throughout New England, and now in Hull’s
own Art on the Avenue.
Brooks Kelly works in acrylic and collage, and
he has won numerous regional awards with a bold,
colorful style that is often tinged with humor. He
is represented in private and corporate collections
nationwide. Kelly’s work has achieved distinction in
numerous South Shore shows and festivals. He too
is a Copley Society “master.”
Art on the Avenue has shown Kelly’s work for the
past few years and is once again honored to have him
exhibit and sell his wonderful work in the gallery.
Dassie Abelson’s work can be viewed not only in
the gallery, but also a sample of her work is part of
the Art on the Avenue advertisement in this paper.
She is also a specialist in acrylics and has a creative
style with lots of color. This is her first appearance
in the gallery and Schneider said she is excited to be
able to introduce locals and visitors to Abelson’s art.
Art on the Avenue gallery regulars include Schneider’s
own painting, photography, and wall sculptures;
Bill Smyth, pen and ink, watercolors, and acrylics;
Julie Schmitt Sullivan, watercolors of lighthouses and
Cape Cod scenes; Ellie Hayes, custom dishware; Ann

Selectmen
Continued from page 1
sight of Harbormaster Kurt Bornheim.
Bornheim was the first department head
to report to the board of selectmen under
Chairman Reilly’s new schedule.
The town of Hull has six mooring
fields, five town piers, 13 floats, three
boat ramps, one commuter boat float,
and is responsible for 13,000 acres of
water. [In comparison, Hingham has one
town pier, three floats, and 3,000 acres
of water.]
Hull’s waters include the ocean surrounding
Hull, around Peddocks Island,
around Point Allerton, and up to the
Cohasset line, extending three miles out.
The town maintains one patrol boat
that is on the water several hours a day
through Dec. 1. It is available for emergencies
24 hours a day.
“We go whenever they call,” said
Bornheim.
Approximately 800 boats are moored
and slipped in town, about twice as many
as six years ago. The mooring fee is $5
per foot, and is the same for residents and
non-residents. Bornheim stated that he
has a 95-percent collection rate on fees
over the past four years. He said that the
last fee increase was six years ago and
that he will be asking for an increase
after this year’s boating season.
According to Bornheim, there is
room to moor about 75 more boats in
Hull.
The town also maintains a “pump-out
boat” that empties the waste tanks of
moored and slipped boats. This means
that boaters are less likely to empty their
tanks in the harbor. He described the
“orange flag” system by which boaters
can signal the pump-out boat to empty
their septic storage tanks whether they
are present on the boat or not.
Bornheim said that Hull’s orange
flag system has spread to other communities
as well. The pump-out boat is
operated under a grant from the Division
of Marine Fisheries and there is no cost
to boaters.
In addition to his duties as harbormaster,
Bornheim is also the shellfish
constable. He reported that three flats
have already been seeded and “predator
nets” put in place to keep green crabs
from eating the seed clams. The nets will
remain in place for about two months
until the seed “sets in.” Bornheim is
applying for another seeding grant and
plans to seed more flats in July. In three
years, 900,000 clam seeds have been
planted and the department has received
about $15,000 a year from the Division
of Marine Fisheries.
Bornheim reported that the dredging
at Nantasket Pier continues and that a
sediment sample is now with the Army
Corps of Engineers. He noted that the
regulations for offshore disposal of sediment
are more stringent than they have
been in the past.
The Hull Harbormaster Department
is involved in several upcoming events
this summer and fall, including Swim
across America, Paddles for Poverty,
the Hull Lifesaving Museum’s Harbor
Illumination, the Nantasket Triathlon,
and the Head of the Weir rowing race.
In addition, Bornheim recently graduated
28 students from the town’s fourth
Safe Boating Class. Students ranged in
age from 12 to 70, and came from Hull,
Quincy, Weymouth, Scituate, and other
area towns.
In a related matter, Selectman Richardson
read correspondence from David
K. Clinton, commander of the U.S. Coast
Guard, Division 12, stating that May
21-27 is National Safe Boating Week,
and encouraging South Shore towns to
join in. A particular focus of the week
is the “Wear It!” campaign, educating
boaters on the importance of wearing a
life jacket.
According to the letter, “In 2009, the
Coast Guard counted 4730 accidents
that involved 736 deaths, 3358 injuries,
and approximately $36 million dollars
of damage to property as a result of
recreational boating accidents. Almost
three-fourths of all fatal boating accident
victims drowned, and of those, eightyfour
percent were not reported as wearing
a life jacket. A life jacket is one of
the most effective and simple life-saving
strategies for safe boating.”
The selectmen voted to make May
21-27 Boating Safety Week for Hull.
In another matter related to water,
the kind that comes to us through our
water pipes, the selectmen discussed
Aquarion’s recent rate increase request.
Reilly suggested a plan of action, the
“opening salvo” of which would be a letter
from the board of selectmen expressing
its “shock and dismay that they have
the nerve to pursue a 25-percent rate
increase” in one of the worst economies
in recent memory.
Reilly further suggested approaching
town officials in Hingham and Cohasset
to “join us in a united fight.”
According to Lampke, the cost of
fighting the last increase was about
$20,000 per town.
Lemnios said that Aquarion’s “rationales
seem to be relatively thin and
contrived and the impact is very, very
significant.” He noted that in the past,
Hull, Hingham, and Cohasset have
fought “strenuously” and were successful
in decreasing the amount of the rate
hikes.
Reilly called for public outcry in
the form of a letter-writing campaign
to senators, congressmen, and the governor.
“He [Gov. Deval Patrick] has
to know it’s hurting the people of this
town,” he said.
Reilly also brought up the possibility
of banding with Hingham and Cohasset
to purchase Aquarion and forming a
regional water authority, or seeing if the
Mass. Water Resources Authority would
purchase it. “It’s worth talking about,”
he said. Reilly pointed out that Aquarion
is owned by an Australian conglomerate
and is a for-profit company.
“There has to be something to put an
end to this,” he said.
Lemnios said that the town will put a
“Fight the Rate” link on the town website
with contact information for senators,
congressmen, and the governor. There
will also be information about the proposed
hike and its impact on the town.
“The way this company is operating
in one of the most dire fiscal periods in
most of our lifetimes is ridiculous,” said
Lemnios.
In a round-up of other business
Tuesday:
• The selectmen voted to approve
an alcohol serving time of 10 a.m. on
Sundays, Memorial Day, and Christmas
day, for establishments with liquor
licenses. Affected businesses have to
fill out a form at town hall in order to
begin serving at that hour. A notice has
been sent to license holders that they
have until today [Thursday] to submit
the form in order to have approval for
Memorial Day. Lampke said that if a
business misses today’s deadline [town
hall is closed on Friday], license holders
can make arrangements with him.
• All agreed that the wind seminar
held on May 12 was a great success and
opened several promising dialogs and
created a lot of momentum. Over 100
people attended, including representatives
from the government, academia,
and the private sector.
• A letter of application from David
Irwin for the government study committee
was read. Brannan recommended
that the selectmen come up with criteria
for the StudyCom and issues for the
committee to review. More applicants
are needed before the committee can
begin work.
• Brannan also suggested that the
selectmen form a committee to put the
town’s bylaws on the website.
• Parking stickers have been ordered
and should be on sale the first or second
week of June.
• Richardson announced that volunteers
were invited to meet at the base of
the cemetery at 10 a.m. on Saturday to
join veterans and members of the Boy
Scouts in putting new flags on the graves
in preparation for the town’s Memorial
Day commemoration Monday. In case
of rain, grave decoration will be done
on Sunday instead of Saturday.
• Rhoda Kanet, chairman of the
Hull Beach Management Committee,
announced that beach cleanups will be
held on the first Saturday of the month,
starting in July.
• The selectmen voted to allow permission
for the Sgt. Guiney Motorcycle
Run to use the triangular parking lot

The winds of change are blowing
through Hull again…
To The Editor:
I would like to thank the following
folks for putting together another historic
event – the Hull Wind Conference
that occurred on May 12 at the Nantasket
Beach Resort Hotel: Town Manager
Phil Lemnios, for his leadership and
vision; Hull Light Operations Manager
Dick Miller, for his continuous support;
administrative assistant Nancy Allen,
for making the event go off without a
hitch; the Hull Light Board, for their
continuous vision of taking our wind/
renewable energy advantage to the next
level to support the Hull ratepayer; the
Nantasket Beach Resort Hotel, for hosting
the event; and Bob Hunter, for almost
a year of his efforts creating the white
paper that put the vision of a renewable
energy institute to paper and officially
started this process.
The event brought folks from all over
the country in many different fields:
GE, Siemens, MIT, Harvard, WPI,
local, state, and federal officials, Mr.
Donohue’s Hull High AP science class,
award-winning music producers, and
leaders in many fields and industries.
I felt a buzz during the wind conference
of success and, hopefully, what I
believe to be a game changer for Hull.
We are looking to carry the momentum
forward and identify the best way to keep
Hull a leader in renewable energy.
Many great things happening in a
great town.
Thank you,
Domenico Sestito
Many hands made light work of
camp cleanup…
To Hull’s Residents:
Thank you for all your support at the
cleanup days for Sunset Point Camp this
past weekend. We were honored at the
tremendous support that the community
showed to this hidden gem.
More than 100 people, young and
old, came to help clean up the camp. Everyone
helped rake, weed, clean, scrub,
purge storage areas, and make repairs.
We were humbled by all the time and
effort that everyone contributed that day,
especially members of the Nantasket-

Carousel events bespeak pride in
town and country…
To the Editor:
On behalf of all the people who enjoy
the Paragon Carousel, I wanted to
thank the many folks who participated
in our Kentucky Derby Day event on
May 6.
This is a wonderful adult evening
and all in attendance enjoyed the festivities,
raffle prizes, and the “racing”
of the carousel horses, all to benefit the
Paragon Carousel. If you missed it this
year, mark your calendar for the Friday
before the 2012 Kentucky Derby.
We also would like to thank Nantasket
Paint and Hardware for securing
“Made in America” flags for our Field
of Flags event that kicks off on June 3.
With the sponsorship of George Washington
Toma TV & Appliance, we will
again surround the historic Paragon
Carousel in American flags in honor of
veterans, armed service personnel, and
loved ones. Thank you to these two
wonderful businesses for helping to
make this special event, which benefits
the Paragon Carousel and the Hull Veterans
Council, possible.

Obituaries
Bette Jeanne Arnold, at 90
Bette Jeanne [Berman]
Arnold, of Boston and
New Seabury, died May
22. She was 90.
A former resident of
Newton and Hull, she
was the flamboyant and
high-spirited proprietor
of “Bette’s Rolls Royce”
restaurant, near Faneuil Hall in Boston. She was also a
devoted, loving, and inspiring mother to her daughters.
“Bette” was decades ahead of her time, a woman’s
liberationist years before the term was in vogue. She
had successful careers in three different business
fields, assisting her late husband, Chappie Arnold,
with Chappie Arnold’s Orchestra and later operating
the Arnold Bus Company with him before she opened
her restaurant. Later she helped her second husband
run the Bob Charles Transportation Company. She did
all this while raising two daughters, providing them
with enormous love and affection, and instilling in
them a desire to succeed and the knowledge that there
were no boundaries to their accomplishments if they
simply worked hard enough.
Besides her work, she enjoyed travel, ballet, opera,
and the theater, and adored swimming in any body
of water. She slept little, preferring to live life to the
fullest each day and leave sleeping for her final resting
place.
Beloved wife of Robert Charles [MacMurdo] and
former wife of the late Chappie Arnold; adored mother
of The Honorable Judith A. Cowin and her husband,
The Honorable William I. Cowin, and the late Joyce
[Jackie] Arnold Rusoff; she was the cherished grandmother
of April Ruth [Cowin] Stein and Geoff Stein,
Jackie [Cowin] Daniels and Mark Daniels, and William
Phillip Cowin and April [Pressel] Cowin. Mrs.
Arnold was also the great-grandmother of Harper,
Gavin, and Graham Stein and Colette Cowin, and step
great-grandmother of Emily and Michael Daniels.
A graveside service will be held at the Newton
Cemetery, Section 3, Lot 1, at 791 Walnut Street in
Newton on Thursday, May 26 at 6 p.m. Family and
friends are welcome at the home of her daughter after
the service.
Leo B. Boudreau, at 75
Leo B. Boudreau, of Hull, formerly of Weymouth,
died Monday, May 23, after two years of failing health.
He was 75.
Mr. Boudreau was raised in Weymouth and was
a graduate of Weymouth High School, where he excelled
in baseball. He was a foreman for 25 years at
Boston Whaler Co. in Rockland. In retirement, Mr.
Boudreau worked for Settle’s
Glass Co. of Quincy.
Beloved husband of the
late Mary [McEachern]
Boudreau, he leaves his
loving children: Sandra
Howe and her husband,
Don, of Vermont, Robert
Boudreau and his wife,
Cindy, of Lynn, Denise
Reynolds and her husband,
Mathew, of Pennsylvania,
Colleen Buckley, Doreen
McDonnell and her husband,
Mark, and Joseph Buckley, all of Hull. He was
the father of the late Leo Boudreau of Saugus and the
brother of Joan Hammond of Maine and Winifred
DiSalvio of Weymouth. Mr. Boudreau is also survived
by nine grandchildren and a loving extended family.
A graveside service will be held in June. For an online
guest book, please visit www.mcnamara-sparrell.

Angelina E. Garfagna, at 86
Angelina E. [Mercurio] Garfagna, of Hull, died
May 19. She was 86.
Beloved wife of the late Joseph A. Garfagna, she
was the cherished daughter of the late Pasquale and
Maria Angela [Barbieri] Mercurio; the loving sister of
Eleanor of Hull and the late [infant] Frank Mercurio,
Mary Sarno, William Mercurio, and Frank Mercurio;
and is also survived by many nieces and nephews.

16 THE HULL TIMES, Thursday, May 26, 2011 www.hulltimes.com
Hull
100 Years ago this week
Compiled from The Hull Beacon
by John J. Galluzzo
May 26, 1911
• Ephraim Lombard and family of
Boston are occupying their cottage on
Highland avenue, Hull Hill. They are
among the longest summer residents
here. Mrs. Lombard was at one time
considered by yachtsmen one of the
most expert yachtswomen on the coast,
with few peers among the opposite sex.
Of late years however, she has given up
the sport to some extent.
• Wedding invitations are out for Lawrence
Worcester and Miss Vogel.
• Henry Gardner Galloway and family
of Boston have arrived at the John Boyle
O’Reilly cottage, which was purchased
off the O’Reilly heirs.
• The son of Jacob Smith, who is on
the boats, is a great favorite. He holds
a regular reception on the Boston wharf
upon the arrival and departure of the
boat. The ladies old and young and
pretty, he has a kindly word for all and
remains a bachelor.
• Repairs on the old yacht club here are
completed, making it practically a new
landing. It is used during the summer
by the Nantasket steamboat company
expressly for the accommodation of the
residents of Hull Hill. The government
boats will make it a landing the yearround.
• J.J. Souther will continue as host committee
of one at the Hull station of the
Boston yacht club. He will make the
clubhouse his home this season.
• The Village improvement Society is
doing a good work.
• The Hull athletic club is having baseball
suits made at Horace Partridge firm,
Boston. The boys expect to play their
first game Decoration day against the
All-Stars of Roxbury. The games will
be played at the Park playground, Hull.
• In the near future Hull must have a
town hall and the Selectmen have made
an automobile trip to several towns only
to find them much more expensive than
they had planned.
• John Mitchell, our well-known coal
and lumber dealer, has a new building
at Waveland. It has a private office that
is better than any office along the coast,
and it is facing the bay and the outlook is
fine. The room is spacious and is finished
in Mission with a mantle clock in marble
and coal cemented together. The desk
and couch finish a most attractive office.
The ceiling was done by A. C. Ross of
Boston, who has made the ceilings in
the large buildings of Boston and does
that class of work wonderfully well. The
gentleman’s daughter lives near the office
and he wanted to show how well he
could do that class of work. Mr. Mitchell
may well feel proud of his new building.
• The lifesaving crew disband at 12
o’clock, May 31, and come together
August 1.
• It is said that freak house will cost
$30,000 by the time it is finished. ∞

Hanging around – Garden Club plant sale coordinators Judy Dorner and Candace
Barone showed off some of the hanging baskets available for purchase last
weekend. [Roger Jackson photo]
New Sprouts | By The Hull Garden Club
Submitted by Helen Weiser
Growing flowers in containers – window
boxes, pots, hanging baskets – has
several things in its favor. For one, there
is more effect per plant. A few marigolds
in a garden bed are apt to look sparse,
but the same number of plants growing
in window boxes can look bountiful and
complete. Window boxes placed above
ground often enjoy more sunlight than
on the ground below. Pots and hanging
baskets have the added virtue of portability;
they can be moved to spots where
conditions are right.
Best of all, container culture brings
gardening to people who have no more
space than a balcony or window ledge
several stories up.
There are more good things to say
about container gardening than bad,
but there is an important drawback: increased
maintenance. There is a limited
amount of soil and, because the sides of
container are exposed to the air and hot
sun, the soil dries out and loses nutritive
supply very fast, so they need water and
fertilizer more regularly than plants in a
garden bed.
Here are a few tips for success:
• Soil. Rather than mix your own
[one part peat moss or compost, one part
garden soil, and one part builder’s sand],
you may use packaged soil, but make
sure it is not entirely soil-less. It needs
at least one-third-part soil to help hold
moisture. Add a slow-release fertilize
so the plants are given gradual doses of
nutrient as they develop.
• Selecting plants: The best plants for
container gardens are annuals. The most
popular is petunia, even though they do
become leggy and ragged-looking by
midsummer. They will revive and come
back if cut back after they get rangy.
Other good choices are ageratum,
coleus, browallia, lobelia, and sweet alyssum.
Still others are geraniums, dwarf
marigolds, dusty miller, wax begonias,
impatiens, verbenas, vincas, and dwarf
zinnias. Hanging baskets do best with
three to five matching individual specimens
to give it a full look. Impatiens are
good as well as Million Bells petunias.
Large pots or window boxes do well
with geranium, dusty miller, and lobelia.
In large pots or tubs you can even put in
bell pepper, parsley, or rosemary in the
center, surrounded by cascading lobelias.
Don’t add too many flowers or they
will overwhelm the vegetables.
Planting: Place an inch of drainage
material, such as gravel or clay shards
from broken clay pots, in the container
bottom. Next put in the soil, to about an
inch or two below the top and then set
in the plants. Finish up by tamping soil
to about an inch below the rim of the
container.
Care: Containers need frequent
watering, especially in midsummer. In
spring, seedlings are small; do not overwater.
The best gauge all season long is
to water when the top half- to one inch
of soil dries out.
Be sure the soil mass is completely
moistened and don’t stop until the water
comes out the bottom. Fertilize every
other week with solution of water and
water-soluble fertilizer. If you have
used the packaged soil you will have to
water carefully as these mixes tend to
pull away from the sides of the container
when they become dry and water runs
right out along these spaces without
penetrating to the roots.
