Kowalski and Daniel E. Holbrook. Mr. Kowalski won re-election to the Board for a three year term, with Lars W. Johnson winning election to the second seat for a three year term. The Board welcomes Mr. Johnson and looks forward to his participation on the Board of Selectmen. The Board would like to take this opportunity to extend heartfelt gratitude to Mr. Holbrook for his selfless dedication and untiring efforts on behalf of the Town, not only as a member of the Board of Selectmen, but as a public servant on many other boards and committees as well. We wish Mr. Holbrook all the best in his future endeavors. During the reorganization of the Board of Selectmen at their meeting on June 3, 2008, Carl F. Kowalski was elected to the position of Chairman, Daniel L. Salvucci was elected to the position of Vice Chairman and Brian J. Bezanson was elected to the position of Clerk. Two thousand and eight brought with it a number of changes in the Whitman Fire Department. Effective June 8, 2008, Robert H. Schmitt retired from the position of Call Firefighter after serving the Town in said role for forty-seven (47) years. Mr. Schmitt still serves in the capacity of Director of the Whitman Emergency Management Agency. On July 9, 2008, Guy “Skip” Fletcher retired from the position of Firefighter-EMT, having served the Town of Whitman in this role for thirty-seven (37) years. Effective July 11, 2008, Walter McKinnon retired from the positions of Firefighter-EMT and Fire Alarm Superintendent after a twenty-nine (29) year career with the Whitman Fire Department. On September 11, 2008, Timothy P. Travers retired from the position of Fire Chief for the Town of Whitman after over thirty-five (35) years of devoted service in the Fire Department. The Board of Selectmen, on behalf of a grateful community, commends and thanks these dedicated public servants for their many years of selfless service to the Town of Whitman, and extends best wishes for good health and every happiness in their retirement and any future ventures they may pursue. On June 3, 2008, the Board of Selectmen held a swearing-in ceremony for three newly appointed Firefighter/Paramedics on the Whitman Fire Department. The Board welcomes and extends best wishes to Jason E. Mahoney, Scott C. Nascarella, and Bryan R. Smith. On August 26, 2008, the Board of Selectmen appointed Fire Lieutenant Timothy J. Grenno to the position of Fire Chief for the Whitman Fire Department, effective September 12, 2008. The Board is proud to have Chief Grenno’s experience and knowledge in leading the Whitman Fire Department and extends congratulations and best wishes to him. On September 30, 2008, the Board of Selectmen held a swearing-in ceremony for Timothy J. Clancy, who was appointed to the position of Fire Lieutenant, effective September 12, 2008. Fire Lieutenant Clancy has been with the department since 1991, and the Board wishes him well in his new leadership role within the department. On May 5, 2008, the Board of Selectmen appointed Daniel O. Connolly to the position of Permanent, Full-Time Patrolman for the Whitman Police Department. A swearing-in ceremony was held immediately following his appointment. The Board of Selectmen extends congratulations to Officer Connolly and thanks him for his commitment to the Town of Whitman and law enforcement.

Burtt-Henderson and Kevin H. Shanteler to the position of Permanent Intermittent Reserve Police Officer. The Board congratulates 4 these four officers on their appointments and wishes them every success as they pursue their career goals. Also on September 30, 2008, the Board of Selectmen interviewed two candidates, Sergeant Scott D. Benton and Sergeant-Detective Timothy P. Hanlon, for the position of Deputy Chief of Police. The Selectmen voted to appoint Scott D. Benton to the position of Deputy Chief of Police. The Board congratulates Deputy Chief Benton for his dedication to the Whitman Police Department for the past 22 years and his ongoing efforts to achieve this goal. The Selectmen thank Sergeant-Detective Hanlon for his interest in serving the community in this capacity and for participating in the interview process. On November 10, 2008, the Board of Selectmen appointed Police Officer Andrew T. Stafford to the position of Sergeant for the Whitman Police Department. The Board offers its congratulations on this achievement and extends best wishes for every success in carrying out the duties of this role. On January 8, 2008, the Board of Selectmen held a joint meeting with the Board of Assessors to make an appointment to said Board in order to fill an existing vacancy created by the resignation of Sandra A. Palaza. The joint meeting resulted in the appointment of John J. Noska to the Board of Assessors through the time of the Annual Town Election on May 17, 2008. The Selectmen thank Mrs. Palaza for her service to the community as a member of the Board of Assessors. They further extend congratulations to Mr. Noska for his appointment to the Board of Assessors and thank him for his interest in serving the Town.

Two candidates, Michael Minchello and Carolyn Sheppard, were interviewed. The Selectmen and members of the Whitman Housing Authority voted to appoint Carolyn Sheppard to the Whitman Housing Authority through the time of the Annual Town Election in May of 2009. The Board congratulates Ms. Sheppard and wishes her well in her new role. They also extend thanks to Mr. Minchello for his interest in serving the Town of Whitman in this capacity and for his participation in the interview process. On September 2, 2008, the Board of Selectmen held a joint meeting with the Department of Public Works Commissioners to make two appointments to said Board in order to fill existing vacancies created by legislation passed to increase the Board of Department of Public Works Commissioners from three members to five. Six candidates were interviewed; John J. Brown, Kevin T. Cleary, Mark H. Invernizzi, Robert E. Luddy, Peter J. Perry and Edward I. Winnett. The Selectmen and D.P.W. Commissioners were pleased with the interest of so many qualified candidates; but having only two seats to fill, Mr. Winnett was appointed to fill a three year term through the time of the Annual Town Election in 2011. Mr. Cleary was next appointed to fill the two year term through the time of the Annual Town Election in 2010. The Selectmen extend congratulations and best wishes to Messrs.
