Fourth goes off with a bangBy Justin GraeBer and

Colleen Moore, Clipper staff

Big crowds and perfect weather –– that was the

story of Duxbury’s 4th of July parade.

“It couldn’t have gone any better,” said Parade Co-chairwoman Maggie Kear-ney.

After what seemed like more than a month of rain, the skies finally parted for Duxbury’s annual Indepen-dence Day celebration over the weekend. The beach par-ty and bonfire was a rousing

The newly formed Historical District Study Committee is work-ing to determine if Duxbury will soon have a historic district of its own.

The study group is composed of seven members with a diverse professional background, including realtors, architects, and a member of the Duxbury Historical Commis-sion. The group was formed in May to determine if there is a need for a historic district in town, and where that district would be.

The two main goals for the group right now is to research po-tential areas in town for a district and to also educate town residents

Independent film is coming to the Duxbury Performing Arts Cen-ter.

The PAC has formed a work-ing relationship with the Coolidge Corner Theater of Brookline and will be showing films on Saturdays, starting on July 11 and continuing through August.

Denise Kasell, executive direc-tor of the theater, said that her or-ganization was approached by PAC General Manager Tony Kelso about bringing art house theater to the

This past June was certainly an anomaly with respect to tempera-tures, days of sunshine and days of rainfall in both Duxbury and the surrounding region. I recorded 21 of 30 June days with measurable rainfall. My average June high was nearly 5 degrees cooler than my previous low record set back in 1985. Blue Hill’s Observatory recorded their second lowest average June high, beat only by June of 1903. Below normal temperatures are forecasted through the third week of July.

Corrections• On the front page of last

week’s Clipper, in the photo from the Children Without Borders fundraiser, Elisabeth Comer was incorrectly identi-fied at Phyllis Carr. Ms. Comer is the sister of CWB founder Dr. George Whitelaw.

• Seventh graders Meg Falcone and Eoin Robinson, as well as sixth-grader Sarah Holbrook, were listed as honor students by the school depart-ment when in fact they made high honors in the third quarter of the DMS honor roll posted last week. Missing from the list were Robert Kosharek, eighth grade high honors and Stephanie Sotir, eighth grade honors.

• In last week’s photo spread of Elements Montes-sori, the headline incorrectly described the event as a visit from the Duxbury Fire Depart-ment. The visit was actually from Michael Watts, owner of “A Fire Truck For All Occa-sions” who travels to schools demonstrating fire safety.

Bambino Buddy Ball wrapped up last weekend with a full schedule of games, awards, and the Brockton Rox.

The league celebrated their season with one final game fol-lowed by an awards ceremony and pizza donated by Bench-warmers. On Sunday, mem-bers of the league were invited to the Brockton Rox game. The Rox are a member of the Cana-dian-American Association of Professional Baseball and play at Campanelli Stadium. Tick-ets were donated by Duxbury Youth Baseball for the players, and The Arc of Greater Plym-outh donated the remainder of the tickets for coaches and buddies.

The league was founded four years ago, in partnership with The Arc. Coaches and volunteers work with children who have many different dis-abilities to teach them to play baseball.

The Arc works with fami-lies and caregivers of those with disabilities to provide in-formation and support to those in need. The Arc helps to pro-vide assisted living or jobs, as well as recreational opportuni-ties, such as Buddy Ball.

The Arc helped Duxbury Youth Baseball involve kids from surrounding towns to take part in Buddy Ball. This allowed the league to have enough members for two teams, said Mike Showstead, the Buddy Ball Director.

The Arc “helps out where they need to help out,” Malissa Kenney, the Director of Family Support at The Arc, said. The Arc helps get enough partici-pants, including buddies, and also takes care of registration.

There are two teams in the league, both with several bud-dy volunteers on them. Each member of the team gets an at bat, with the final hitter hitting a home run, allowing every player to run the bases.

“It’s a very simple ver-sion [of baseball],” Showstead said.

The buddies work with the kids on the field to teach them how to catch pop-flies and ground balls, as well as keep-ing everything fun.

The buddies also allow the parents to enjoy the game.

While some parents partici-pate, others choose to relax and watch their kids play baseball.

“We have many different levels of disabilities [on the teams],” Showstead said. “But they all get so excited to play.”

The Arc serves 10 towns on the South Shore and over 430 families. Duxbury is cen-trally located, allowing a lot of people to participate, Kenney said.

“We’re lucky to have this connection [with Duxbury Youth Baseball and sponsor Padula Auto],” Kenney said. Many kids play until they age out of the program, and from there they often volunteer to continue helping out on the field.

The teams have been wear-ing blue and white Red Sox jerseys this year, donated by Padula Auto. The teams have played every Saturday since May 2.

“I did it to give back to youth baseball, but I seem to be getting more out of it than the kids,” Showstead added.

July is a pretty quiet month for backyard birds. Most are busy raising a new batch of offspring. All that passionate singing and strutting around in new feathers

is pretty much over. Only the American Goldfinches are still in perfect plumage. They are the last of our common songbirds to nest.

But although the little woodland guys are pretty hard to find now, out on our marshes and beaches you can come up with a treasure trove of attractive birds. The herons and egrets

that inhabit our shorelines and wetlands are among the most beautiful and easily spotted of our summer visitors.

Regular wading birds to Duxbury include Great Blue Herons, Great Egrets, Snowy Egrets, Little Blue Herons, Cattle Egrets, American Bittern, those spooky night herons, the occasional Tricolored Heron and, of course, the Green Heron.

The first time I saw a Green Heron I repeatedly paged through my bird book looking for something that resembled this squat brown bird sitting in the cattails at the Wellfleet Sanctuary on Cape Cod. I was new to all this birding stuff and had to start at the beginning. I couldn’t find anything that looked like this bird. It was moving in slow motion through the reeds picking up one foot and placing it on the ground before moving another muscle in its body. I was fascinated and frustrated at the same time.

Eventually a smart person came along and gave me its name: Green-backed Heron (since changed to Green Heron). Of course two minutes later the bird stood straight up and extended its heron-like neck. As it moved into the sunlight I saw its glossy, greenish-black head and back.

Green Herons are rather solitary and nearly as spooky as their cousins, the night herons. They seldom venture out into the light, preferring the dark corners of the marshes. After an elaborate courtship display they mate and build nests in trees (sometimes on the ground) near or over water. Both parents incubate the 2–5 eggs.

Green Herons are among those birds that use tools! After years of being told by the experts that humans are the only animals that use tools, that theory got thrown under the bus when studies of monkeys, chimpanzees, dolphins and several birds showed that many animals employ sticks, bits of food even man-made objects to feed themselves. Green Herons can be seen dropping food or insects into the water to attract fish. And, they never lie about the size of their catch.

So on a hot summer’s day, go find a nice buggy marsh and sit very still. You might just find a weird green-backed chunky bird called the Green Heron!

Keep an eye out for Green Herons

South Shore. As luck would have it, only the weekend be-fore Kasell, who is new to the area, jumped in her car to explore the area and wound up in Duxbury. When Kelso described the PAC, it seemed

like a natural fit.“We went to look at the

space and thought it was quite beautiful,” Kasell said.

Kelso said he’s always wanted to bring professional movies to Duxbury, but didn’t have the technological know-

how.“I’ve always wanted to

show movies in the PAC, but I knew nothing about how to do it professionally,” he said. “It just seemed like this sum-mer was the perfect time to try this.”

The PAC rented theatrical equipment such as a projec-tor, a movie quality screen and sound system, said Kelso. If the movies prove to be suc-cessful, Kelso said he may look into installing more per-manent movie-viewing instru-ments.

“There’s nothing on the South Shore that’s showing the independent non-mall plex type movies,” he said. “I think people are looking for stuff that’s nontraditional, an inter-esting mix of stuff.”

Kasell said that the theater has several other partnerships with groups outside Boston, the idea being that demand for independent film exists, but community groups like the PAC may not always have the connections with distributor networks to bring the films to town.

“We thought, we should start sharing that with organi-zations that don’t have that as-set,” she said.

The first movie of the part-nership will be “Throw Down Your Heart,” a documentary that follows banjo virtuoso Bela Fleck to Africa to research the roots of his instrument. Fleck will be in Duxbury, and will answer questions from the audience as well as perform after both the 7 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. screenings. (see sidebar.)

Other films include “Food, Inc.,” a look inside the nation’s food industry, and “Every Little Step,” a film about the long-running Broadway show “A Chorus Line.”

Kasell hopes the films at the PAC will spread awareness of indie cinema to a new com-munity.

“That’s part of our mission as an art house, to promote the independent film community,” she said. “It’s really all part of this collective experience.”

Kelso said he saw Coolidge Corner as the perfect partner for the PAC.

“I’ve always loved their selection of films,” he said. “The only way to do this is to partner up with someone who really knows the business.”

As less people travel into Boston for entertainment due to the economic downturn, bringing quality movies to the South Shore could be a smart business decision as well as an artistic one.

“It’s a very economical ticket, and even in hard times, people find that they can afford to go to the movie theater,” Kasell said.

Kasell said Coolidge Cor-ner would be open to the part-nership expanding, although she said she’s not sure what

that means yet. Kelso said he’d like to continue to show films during the summer and at other times of the year as well, although the PAC’s schedule gets considerably tighter dur-ing the school year.

Above all, both the lead-ers of the PAC and the theater have the overriding goal of

bringing entertainment to the masses.

“We are in the business of entertaining and inform-ing,” Kasell said. “We’re hop-ing they’ll stand up and give a round of applause ... and they’ll be able to say what a fabulous end to a summer day.”

By Justin GraeBer, Clipper editor [email protected]

The first movie shown as part of the Duxbury Perform-ing Arts Center’s collabora-tion with the Coolidge Cor-ner Theatre will be “Throw Down Your Heart,” a docu-mentary about banjo virtuoso Bela Fleck’s journey to Af-rica to research the roots of his instruments. The screen-ings will be on Saturday, July 11 at 7 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. After both screenings, Fleck will answers questions from the audience and perform a song. He will also introduce the movies. He took time this week to answer some ques-tions from the Clipper via e-mail.

Q: You’ve been playing the banjo for many years. What was the impetus for re-turning to Africa to seek out the instrument’s roots now?

A: I have wanted to do this for many years. I just needed the right time and sit-uation. Gradually everything fell into place, as the time opened up and it was now!

Q: What do you feel the greatest lesson you learned in Africa was, for you as a musi-cian, and you as a person?

A: My world view opened up quite a lot, and I learned to have more faith that things will work out. There were a lot of leaps taken on this trip, some leaps of faith and some intuitive leaps. Sometimes I just knew what to do, and couldn’t explain why, and sometimes things fell in our lap that we weren’t expect-ing. Musically, I soaked up

as much as I could and I cer-tainly hope this will influence all my future music making. It already has altered me.

Q: As someone whose normal medium is perfor-mance, how do you feel your music, and the music you encountered throughout this process, comes across in film?

A: I think film is more like live performance than making records, for instance. Film and live performance are very forgiving in that, if you can see it happening in front of you, everything makes sense. When you close your eyes and hear just the recording, without seeing it, you can suddenly hear that something may not be per-fectly in tune or time. But the musicians were so good and the project itself so interest-ing, that it seems to work on record just as well in this in-stance. I just love getting to watch players play, and you can understand the musical choices people make when you watch their faces.

Q: What do you hope people in Duxbury take away from the film and from your appearance here?

A: I know they will fall in love with this music, it is very hard to resist. Also for those who may have fol-lowed me over the years and never heard me say anything, the question/answer part of the showing provides a great opportunity for interaction. I actually can talk! I also ex-pect to sign CDs and hang out afterwards.

Bela Fleck to visit

Banjo virtuoso Bela Fleck travels to Africa on a magical musi-cal journey in the film “Throw Down your Heart,” screening on Saturday, July 11 at the Duxbury Performing Arts Center. Fleck will make a special appearance at the screening to introduce the film, perform a song, and answer questions from the audience.

The “King Caesar Morn-ing Lectures,” presented by the Duxbury Rural and Historical Society, will commence on July 9. On that date, Patrick Browne and Norman Forgit, authors of the Society’s latest publication, “Duxbury…Past and Present,” will speak on the making of the book. Browne and Forgit will describe the process of selecting historic photographs and shooting the present-day views. They will share numerous views, both past and present, which did not make the cut for the book and explain the challenges they encountered in the course of the process. The event begins with refreshments at 10 a.m. and the lecture commences at 10:30 a.m.

Other speakers in the se-ries will include Skip Bennett who will speak about the Is-land Creek Oyster Company on July 23, Craig Chartier who will describe the findings of the Society’s archaeological dig at the Second Meeting House on Aug. 6, and Prof. Mary Malloy who will speak on her recent book Devil on the Deep Blue Sea: The Notorious Career of Captain Samuel Hill of Boston on Aug. 20.

All lectures take place at the King Caesar Barn on 120 King Caesar Road in Duxbury. Tickets are $6 person and may be purchased at the door. For information about the lecture series, visit the Society’s Web site at www.duxburyhistory.org or phone 781-934.6106.

The Plymouth County Register of Deeds is warning residents about a scam involv-ing certified copies of deeds. A Washington D.C. Company, National Deed Service Incor-porated, is offering consum-ers certified copies of deeds for a fee of $59.50. Register of Deeds John Buckley reports that the issue has come to his office’s attention at various times over the past two years.

“We contacted local media outlets and placed an advi-sory on our Web site after we were presented with multiple requests for certified copies of deeds from this company, which is giving people the false impression that they have an imminent need for a certi-fied copy of their deed and charging them $58.50 more than they would have to pay if they simply went to the regis-try themselves,” Buckley said in a press release.

A copy of a deed, typi-cally about 1-2 pages, can be obtained directly from the Plymouth County Registry of Deeds for a fee of $1 per page at either the Plymouth, rockland or Brockton office, Buckley said. The Registry also accepts requests by mail,

which require a self-addressed envelope, a reference to the book and page where the deed is located and a fee of $3. Call the registry at 508-830-9200 with any questions.

The Duxbury Rural and Historical Society announces the annual opening of its two museums—the King Caesar House (1809) and the Cap-tain Gershom Bradford House (1808). Trained docents will guide visitors through these re-markable 19th century houses that accurately reflect the days of Duxbury ship builders and sea captains.

The King Caesar House at 120 King Caesar road is open Wednesdays through Sundays, 1-4 p.m. until the end of Au-gust, as well as weekends in September. The house was built in 1809 for ezra Weston II, known as “King Caesar” for his worldwide preeminence as a shipbuilder and merchant. Weston’s enterprise dominat-ed Duxbury in the early 19th century with a large portion of the population employed in the Weston shipyards, farms, wharves, mill, ropewalk, or aboard Weston’s fishing schooners and merchant fleet. The house is noted for its rare French scenic wallpapers, por-traits of sea captains, and 19th century furnishings. The Pot-ter Gallery at the King Caesar House features rotating exhib-its. This summer’s exhibits are “Childhood” and “Needle-work and the Sea.” Admission

to the King Caesar House is $5 for adults and $3 for seniors/students.

The Gershom Bradford House at 931 Tremont Street belonged to four generations of Bradfords before the last gen-eration gave it to the Society in 1968. Captain Gershom Brad-ford (1774-1844), who built the house, commanded more than 10 merchant vessels be-fore retiring in 1826 to lead an active life ashore. The Brad-ford family, out of respect for the Captain, changed almost nothing in the house. It was donated to the Society with

original furnishings, décor and personal objects. A fascinat-ing time capsule, the house al-lows the visitor to observe the home of a successful Duxbury mariner much as he left it in 1844. The regular hours of the Gershom Bradford House are Saturdays and Sundays, 1-4 p.m. through the end of Au-gust. Admission to the Brad-ford House is $3 for adults and $1 for seniors/students.

Tours are also available by appointment. For more infor-mation, visit the Society’s Web site at www.duxburyhistory.org or call 781-934-6106.

about what a historic district is and what the limitations inside would be.

In regards to where to put the historic district, the group is still looking at the town as a whole, James Hartford, a construction professional and president of the study group said.

“The group is in the very early stages of research and planning to determine if there is an area in town that bears merit to pursue as a district,” Hartford said.

The Massachusetts His-torical Commission has de-tailed guidelines for proposing an area, Georgia Pye, a realtor and member of the commit-tee said. “We’re starting from ground zero,” she said.

“It won’t be people com-ing to tell you not to paint your house pink. It’s more to try and make sure that there’s some type of review process before something big is changed,” Pye said. If a historic district is established, a separate histori-cal district commission will be formed, and residents of the district will have to adhere to district bylaws, she said.

For example, if a hom-eowner wants to make an addition to their home, they must submit an application to a historical district committee for approval prior to building. The committee will then hold a public hearing to determine if the changes are appropri-ate or not. If the application is approved, the owner will receive a certificate allowing it to begin construction. If the application is denied, the hom-eowner will be given sugges-tions on how to get the project approved.

If a historic district is ap-

proved by Town Meeting, there will be a set of bylaws and guidelines formed that will outline exactly what ho-meowners can and cannot do. Guidelines include everything from the shape of windows to installation of skylights to porch railings for a district in Hingham.

“We want to identify for awareness’ sake what [the] historic assets [of the town] are,” Pye said.

The study group is doing the background research, Pye said. Study groups typically research for 18 months, ac-cording to the Massachusetts Historical Commission. The major part of that time is spent educating members of the town; however the group must complete a report on the his-torical value of the buildings or sites in the district, a basic map of the area, and what the boundaries will be.

In 1991, High Street was proposed as a historic district by the Historical Commission, yet failed to pass. While there was an interest in town, the district did not receive the two-thirds majority vote necessary

to pass at the Town Meeting.“There was quite an exten-

sive study done,” Tony Kelso, Town Historian said. Howev-er, there was enough opposi-tion from the neighborhood to prevent the vote from passing, Kelso added.

“Nobody likes things im-posed on them, but if they know what it’s about and are clued in and support it, then it has a better chance of pass-ing,” Kelso said.

High Street is one of the most historic neighborhoods in town, Kelso added.

“It’s a great old part of Duxbury,” Peter Smith, an architect and member of the study committee said. There are 17 historic houses on High Street, making it the most densely populated area of his-toric buildings in town.

“It’s such a neat area,” Kelso said. “There are not very fancy houses, but the houses come from a time when it was farmers and ordinary people and the architecture reflects that.” High Street was a work-ing neighborhood, and that still holds true today, as there are cranberry bogs and farms in the neighborhood.

This is just one area that the study group will be look-ing at, Pye said.

Kelso recommended start-ing with a smaller area, then when everyone is comfortable with it, moving on to a “bigger fish,” such as the neighbor-hoods surrounding Washing-ton Street. Washington Street itself would be a good idea, but it is a very large area and includes many houses, Kelso said.

The group will hold an open meeting on July 14 at 7 p.m. at the Senior Center. A representative from the Mas-sachusetts Historical Com-mission will be present at the meeting to provide more information about forming a historical district in town. Members of the public are en-couraged to attend.

“Duxbury is an amazingly historic town,” said Pye. “If we’re not careful, we’re going to lose it.”

success despite a few bursts of rain and rising tides, and the weather for the parade on Saturday was perfect July sun-shine.

“I think everybody was happy to see the sun,” Kear-ney said.

Large crowds gathered at the parade’s beginning and end, at Hall’s Corner and the high school, as well as all along the route. Several parade organizers said they believed the cancellation of parades in surrounding communities may have brought even more peo-ple to Duxbury.

“The parade went really well this year. The weather held out, we had tons of bands and floats,” said parade co-chairman Rich Potash.

From other communities came not only spectators, but participants in the parade. The Plymouth High School Band marched, and parade organiz-ers were particularly proud that the Air Force Marching Band from Hanscom Air Force Base marched, which several people called a highlight of the parade.

“The parade was abso-lutely great,” said head judge Dave Johnson.

Despite the large number of floats and marching groups, the parade seemed to flow smoothly from its origin at the Hall’s Corner rotary.

Kearney said the last float headed down Washington Street at 2:50 p.m., excellent timing for such a large parade.

Participants in the parade were happy to be taking part in a long-running Duxbury tradition.

The Mutkoski family start-ed making the parade an Inde-pendence Day tradition five years ago. Their red-white-and-blue themed float took home first prize in the mini-float category.

“It’s a nice family event, a way to celebrate patriotism,” said John Mutkoski.

“It was long and hot but a lot of fun,” said Alexa Nielson, a first-time parade walker with Duxbury’s 4-H group.

Fellow 4-H member Mer-edith Archer agreed that the

parade route was long but fun. She said she has been to the parade before but this was her first time walking in it. The 4-H float took 5th prize in the mini float category.

Kearney credited the vol-unteers of the 4th of July Com-mittee for making the event a success.

“I give them all the credit in the world,” she said. “Ev-eryone had a task to do and they did it.”

Many parade organizers as well as participants pointed to The Air Force Band from Hanscom Air Force Base as a highlight of this year’s parade. Although many of the groups marching had a military theme, the band was the only active duty unit marching in Saturday’s parade. For more photos see page 16.


Scenes from the 4th of July parade

The Bookmarks, a high school group that meets at the library, created a float that celebrated the country’s literary heritage. The side of the float reads: “Today’s banned book is tomorrow’s classic!” The Duxbury 4H float featured livestock including sheep and cows.

Emilie Peavey and “Tabasco” received an enthusiastic response from the crowd.

The Friends of the Percy Walker Pool created a float that highlighted the country’s Olympic swimming heroes. On the back of the float hung a photo of Michael Phelps with the words, “See you in 2012.”

A Civil War reen-actment group

fired a volley of blanks, much

to the delight of the crowd. As

the theme was “Our American Heritage,” sev-

eral historical marching groups

participated in the parade.

Thanks to Michelle Conway for the ar-ticle and recipe for

garlic scapes. There are lots of uses for these; however, grow-ers are primarily seeking good hardneck bulbs, which are dug

up in July. For the past ten years I’ve grown between 400 and 700 plants each season to experiment among the hun-dreds of garlic varieties. I’ve narrowed down to about 20 varieties which seem most reli-

able through our unpredictable winters. Anyone with a sunny spot can grow this, and the result is far better than garlic bulbs from a supermarket. For next summer’s crop you would plant cloves this November around Thanksgiving. Use a good source for planting stock, such as FilareeFarm, WeGrow-Garlic, and the Garlic Seed Foundation. However, don’t try to grow garlic from the su-permarket – it’s the wrong va-riety for our locale, and treated chemically to prevent sprout-ing. So instead, seek out some hardneck stock from a com-mercial supplier. A couple of pounds will produce about 50 plants. Enough?

This past Friday eve-ning, my family and I were enjoying a

wonderful pre-bonfire dinner party at Blakeman’s, hosted by several generous Duxbury families. The evening was fab-ulous, until both my husband and I realized that our 7-year-old daughter was missing. Within minutes many of the guests mobilized to look for her as my concern quickly turned to panic. As the search began, I was fortunate to run in to Of-ficer Tommy Johnson, who acted quickly. His profession-alism and concern were very

comforting in a situation that is every parent’s worst nightmare. Immediately, he had a search underway. Not having my cell phone with me, he offered his own phone, as I needed to keep in touch with my husband as he too was frantically trying to find our daughter in the oppo-site direction. Not long after, a police officer found our daugh-ter (who decided she wanted a front row seat for the bonfire, and so walked along the beach, and then the dirt road, to the other end of the beach, as she told me she did not want to dis-turb the piping plovers.) Offi-

cer Johnson allowed us to drive back to the parking lot, and we were reunited. I want to public-ly thank Officer Johnson for his kindness. His quick response provided much needed comfort and reassurance. We are also very grateful for the kindness and caring of the Duxbury Po-lice Department, friends, and strangers who joined in the search. It is times like this that make us feel so very blessed to live in a community like Dux-bury.

A Start Time Com-mittee consisting of nine parents and

seven administrators, with the Superintendent as chair, has been formed to implement and assess the new start time change. This committee re-viewed a parent online survey, and parents were informed that the aggregate data results will be used by this committee.

A student survey, not re-viewed or approved by the committee, was to be complet-ed by children in grades 2-5 in class during the week of June 8. Questions included how of-ten the child drinks coffee/tea/Pepsi/Coke/Mountain Dew, and whether a cell phone or computer or TV is in the child’s room. In addition, the child’s name was requested on the survey. I wondered why this type of information was being solicited from our children and questioned the accuracy of an-swers from 7-11 year olds.

To find out more about this survey and assessment process I attended the June 15 Start Time Committee meeting. I learned that some committee members

had serious issues with the stu-dent survey and that the com-mittee (and parents) are not al-lowed to see the raw data from either survey. It was the sleep researchers, not the committee, who wanted this information from the children. These are the same people who have ad-vocated for a later start time for high school students nationally (see Amy Wolfson’s picture on our school Web site). The com-mittee was informed that these researchers are the ones who will be interpreting the data and reporting their results in November – after four months of analysis, according to the project timeline. And they are doing all this “for free.”

I find this concerning, and I especially question why the raw data is not being openly shared with the Start Time Committee and parents. If the new time change doesn’t work out so well, will the data be used to try and show that the children are negatively impacted not by the earlier start time, but due to the parents allowing too much TV watching and Pepsi drinking?

I’m also concerned that

this could be another case of a process being manipulated and shrouded in secrecy to reach a pre-determined outcome. Hopefully the majority school committee will not condone this happening yet again, and the assessment process will drastically change course after tonight’s School Committee meeting (the next Start Time Committee meeting is July 9). Instead of funneling sensitive family information through sleep researchers who are pre-disposed to want this change to appear successful, and rely-ing on them to tell us how this change is working for us, we could easily assess this start time change ourselves: next fall, simply survey the parents and the older students to ask if this schedule change has a positive or negative effect on the health, sleep, safety, and well being of each student and report all results. Let’s make this process straightforward and transparent. Then we can all get some sleep.

Questioning student sleep survey ––––––––––Witnessing the 4th of July parade on Saturday

made one proud to be American –– and from Duxbury.

It seemed that the Massachusetts Monsoon ended just in time for the town’s Independence Day weekend-long celebration. Other than a few sunshowers at the beach party Friday night, the weekend’s weather was perfect.

All in all, the parade was a resounding success, a highlight of the Duxbury summer if not the entire year, and the best 4th of July celebration on the South Shore. And it wouldn’t be possible without a small but extremely dedicated group of people on the 4th of July Committee.

Planning the 4th of July festivities is a year-round job for these folks. On the holiday weekend, you see them in distinctive red shirts, patrolling the beach party or rollerblading alongside the parade to keep candy-seeking kids out from under the wheels of the floats. You see them on the judges stand or directing parade traffic out of Hall’s Corner. But what you don’t see are the endless meetings, the late nights spent working out event logistics.

So thanks to Maggie Kearney, Rich Potash, Connie Dennis, Kathy Gaenicke, Jamie MacNab, Janet Ritch, Bob Dente, Dave Robinson, Linda Robinson, Terry Reiber, Joan Edgar, Nancy Reed, Jeff Goldman, Amy Hill, Brian Hill, Barbara Muncey, Walter Osborne, Sue Lawrence, Don Reed, and anyone else who helped make the parade a reality.

Thanks also to the police officers working along the parade route and the beach, the DPW workers who set up and clean up the various events, and to all who participated. It was truly a day to be proud to be from Duxbury.

And just to toot our own horn a bit, The Clipper was honored to be the recipient of this year’s Margery Parcher Cup. Just like newspapers have been an essential part of this country’s heritage, we at the Clipper feel deeply proud to have been a part of Duxbury’s heritage for over 50 years. The reception our float got during the parade was overwhelming and humbling. We are truly blessed to be a part of this town, and we hope to continue faithfully serving the citizens of Duxbury for many years to come.

The June 15 meeting of the Board of Selectmen has certainly raised interest, concern and questions about local government in our town.

It is refreshing to read the different views of citizens and former elected officials. My thanks to the Clipper for encouraging people to speak out and printing their comments.

However, it was the June 10 issue of the Clipper that told us about the town manager’s letter, dated June 4, informing the police chief his contract would not be extended when it expires in November. The article also reported the town manager’s statement that he would be appointing a new police chief in November. For the town manager to appoint a new police chief requires the removal of the current police chief. Now the fight is on. We are picking sides. The town is divided and the future is unclear.

Perhaps a look at past actions might help in understanding our current government. In 1977 a group of citizens formed the Duxbury Taxpayers Association because we were concerned about the growing size of the town budget and questioning our management capability of the future. One of our projects was a study of other towns and how they managed their resources and served their residents.

In 1986, as a result of our study, we submitted an article in the warrant of the 1986 annual Town Meeting asking voters to “authorize and approve the filing of a petition to the General Court an Act establishing a selectman-town manager form of government for the Town of Duxbury” (see 1986 town report). An amendment was offered, and accepted, “that the subject matter of Article 64 be referred to a committee of seven voters, appointed by the moderator, and that said committee be required to report back to the Board of Selectmen within six months of appointment, but no later than Dec. 1, 1986 and any recommendations of said committee, if any, be placed on the warrant of the 1987 Annual Town Meeting.

The committee reviewed the proposal of the Duxbury Taxpayers Association, made revisions, deleted sections, added new sections and wrote a new proposal to be considered by the 1987 annual Town Meeting.

The proposal was presented as Article 9 of the annual Town Meeting. Discussion and debate was conducted at the Saturday, March 14 session and the Monday, March 16 session. A total of 13 amendments were offered of which eight were approved and five failed. At 9:30 p.m. on Monday, March 16, 1987 Article 9, as amended, was adopted by a vote of Yes, 295, No, 24. The action of Town Meeting was forwarded to the General Court and Chapter 353 of the Acts of 1987 was enacted as an Act Providing for a Town Manager in the Town of Duxbury signed by the Governor Aug. 11, 1987.

One of the important sections governing the power of the Town Manager to appoint and remove specific employees is Section 3 C (4) as follows:

“Section 3 C (4) All appointments and removals by the town manager shall be subject to ratification by the board of selectmen which shall act upon each appointment and removal within fifteen days following notification thereof. Failure of the board to act within the fifteen day period shall constitute assent.”

Chapter 353 of the Acts of 1987 “An Act Providing for a Town Manager in the Town of Duxbury” Section 1 states “Upon the effective date of this act, the town of Duxbury shall be governed by the provisions of this act ...”

Both the town manager or the Board of Selectmen are required to follow the process established by Section 3 C (4) of the Chapter 353 of the Acts of 1987.

Neither the town manager or the Board of Selectmen have the authority to do otherwise. Both owe the taxpayers of Duxbury a full and complete accounting of compliance with the provisions of Sec 3 C (4) over the past years. Their explanation should not be limited to only the police chief appointment but a full accounting of all appointments.

People who “text mes-sage” while driving will simply have to

find a more appropriate time to spend with their…Crackber-ries. Twice in the last couple of weeks I have witnessed people drive erratically, their minds far from their driving. About 2 weeks ago I sat in a line of 12-15 cars behind a school bus heading west on Route 14. I watched a grey SUV heading east cross the double yellow line and head straight toward several of the cars right in front of me. It was a close enough call that I started to try and drive to the right of the car in front of me as she headed toward us. At the last second she [a young woman] looked up and turned

away – she never at any point slowed down at all – and con-tinued on her way. A potentially very bad accident was luckily avoided. If she wasn’t texting, it must have been something else that was really interesting, and distracting.

This morning I witnessed another example. Again head-ing toward route 3 on 14 a black SUV was travelling at a suspiciously slow speed. When the car stopped at the traffic circle and waited, even though there was no other car in the circle, I was fairly sure of the problem. The car then slowly merged unto route 3, and as I passed it, my suspicions were confirmed, as the man at the wheel busily texted, looking

straight down at his beloved texting device. In my rear view mirror I watched his car zig zag over into the breakdown lane and then zig zag back into his own lane, completely oblivious to the fact that there was any one else on the road.

Mindless cell phone gossip-ing while driving is bad enough, it is rampant and annoying, but text messaging is dangerous, smacks of neurotic behavior, and should be made a crime be-fore more people are killed or seriously injured. Please let’s use our heads for something other than baseball cap racks – and stop the lunacy.

Stop the texting madness ––––––––––––––––

The Friends of Tarkiln are recruiting! Come join us on July 8th at

Duxbury Town Hall.On June 17, the Friends met

with the town’s Tarkiln Com-mittee at the Senior Center to join forces.

The Friends are energized and are laying plans to make good on the Tarkiln Com-mittee’s proposal to reopen the Tarkiln Community Cen-ter. In March, Duxbury Town Meeting appropriated funds to partially restore the his-toric community center and twin schoolhouse on Summer Street. The Community Pres-ervation Commission funds be-came available on July 1 for the partial restoration. The Tarkiln Committee is working with the Town to ensure that construc-tion work on Tarkiln begins as soon as possible and is com-pleted this year. The Friends of Tarkiln are working to make the rest of the story happen.

At the June 17 meeting, the Friends unanimously elected Susanna Sheehan as the new Chairman of the Friends of Tarkiln. A past chairman of the Duxbury Historical Com-mission, Mrs. Sheehan has been

active on the Tarkiln Study Committee and has played a key role in advocating for Tarkiln, stressing its impor-tance to the town not only as a unique historic landmark but also as a building that has been a tremendous asset to the town as a school and community center for nearly 140 years.

Jack Williams, a long-time trustee and guardian of the Tarkiln Community Cen-ter for 50 years, was elected as the Friends of Tarkiln Histo-rian. His half-century of com-mitment to Tarkiln has been in-valuable to the town.

In other news, the Friends held a volunteer work-day at Tarkiln on June 27 to prepare the site for the Farmer’s and Ar-tisan’s Market on July 1 and to continue painting the exterior. Much progress was made. The Friends plan to hold additional volunteer work days through the summer and fall.

At this time, we look for-ward to the reopening of Tarkiln before winter sets in. We will work with the community to en-sure that Tarkiln reaches its full potential in service to the needs of Duxbury residents. The Tarkiln Twin Schoolhouses

are the centerpiece of the en-tire complex that includes his-torical ball fields and tennis courts. The Duxbury Farmers and Artisans’ Market is only the beginning of Tarkiln’s re-integration into the fabric of life in Duxbury.

The Friends of Tarkiln are inviting new members, and wel-come anyone interested in help-ing steer Tarkiln into the future to join us and participate. The next meeting will be held on July 8 at 7:30 p.m. at the Dux-bury Town Hall, downstairs in the kitchen meeting room.

We are eager to share the mission and vision for the Friends with you, and to brain-storm about special events, fund-raising, and programs for Tarkiln when it re-opens.

All are welcome to come and help us realize the goal of seeing Tarkiln once again open its doors to the people of Dux-bury.

Dear Editor and Par-ents of Duxbury: As we head into the

summer season, I implore you to use any means necessary to make your kids wear bike hel-mets while biking, scootering, skateboarding, or in-line skat-ing. Driving through town this past week, I have been stunned to see so many kids not wear-

ing helmets. A properly fitted and fastened helmet is the sim-plest, most cost-effective way to prevent wheel-related trau-matic brain injury and can re-duce the risk by as much as 88 percent. Please, let’s not wait for a tragic accident to prompt you and your kids, just do it.

With bright colors, open doors, and a big personality, Go Big Boarding Co. is sure to make a mark in the skating and surfing culture of Duxbury.

The store, which opened June 13, was founded by Shan-non Thompson.

“I wanted to bring a little California here,” Thompson said of the store. She grew up

in Ore-gon, and spent time in Califor-nia before moving to Duxbury, where she now lives with her two kids.

“I saw a need for the store,” she said.

Thompson added that she saw no stores in town that focus solely on board sports, such as skim boarding, kite boarding, skateboarding, and snowboarding. Go Big Board-ing Co. is located on the way to the beach, and allows kids to come in and even talk to others who might have used the same product.

The store sells everything from rash-guards to sun dress-es to sandals and long-boards. There are clothes for young adults and teenagers, but also has some items for children as well. The store also sells some drinks and snacks to pick up on the way to the beach.

The main inspiration for the store has been Thompson’s kids, Austin, 15, and McKen-zie, 14. Both attend Duxbury High School and are interested in the board sports that Go Big Boarding Co. supports.

Thompson wanted to cre-ate an environment for kids to have fun and hang out, but to also be involved in the business and maybe even learn some-thing in the process. Opening a new store isn’t always easy, and the kids involved are see-ing first hand what it’s like to start a business and the hard work involved, Thompson said.

One of the most memora-

ble moments came before the store even opened. One after-noon while prepping the store, Thompson recalls about 30 teens showing up after school, all ready to help her.

“Kids went to town, paint-ing and cleaning,” Thompson said. “I wouldn’t have been able to open on time without them.”

The inside of the store is full of bright colors which welcome customers and cre-ate a summery-beach feeling throughout the store. Cus-tomers will find hand painted graffiti done by Oliver Arana and Boomer Fagan. The two worked with Thompson to paint murals on some of the inside walls of the store. The bathroom, which doubles as a dressing room, has an ocean theme, complete with fish on the floor.

Thompson, along with her children and friends, spent weeks going through catalogs from different brands trying to figure out which products to order.

“I wanted to take the kids’ input for what to get, because they’re the ones buying the clothes,” Thompson said.

Thompson is supporting local kids in more ways than one. The store will be selling EJ Thomas skateboards and will soon have clothing prod-ucts by Mike Moore, both of whom are Duxbury High School graduates.

“I wanted to bring in local talent and support Duxbury,”

Thompson said. While the store currently

focuses on skateboarding, snowboarding, skim-boarding, and kite boarding, it is looking to expand to include surfing and freestyle skiing in the fu-ture.

“We’re going to be ever-changing and adding new things,” Thompson said.

Along with different prod-ucts, the store is going to be sponsoring different events throughout the summer. There have already been multiple skateboard rail jams, but in the future there are plans for an art challenge (in association with the Duxbury Student Union and Art Association), a skate camp, and a potential trip to Rye, NH to go to the famous Rye Airfield skate park.

One of Thompson’s goals is to work more with the Dux-bury Student Union.

“Not enough kids use the student union. We’re going to work hand in hand to get oth-ers to use it,” Thompson said. Go Big Boarding Co. is look-ing forward to hosting differ-ent events with the student union throughout the summer and fall.

“It’s been an unbelievably fun experience,” Thompson said. Go Big Boarding Co. will be open year round, pro-viding local kids with not only the gear needed to take part in their favorite sports, but with a place to hang out and meet other kids involved in those sports. The store is open and ready for new customers and friends.

“I used to go to Sea World,” says Jeff Chandler. “Now my vacation is the

Marshfield Fair.”I do the same, happy to have paid

time off from my day job while I do and enjoy something I love. This year’s fair runs Aug. 21 through Aug. 30, and believe you me, you’ll find more “for and about Duxbury” there this year than ever before. Duxbury’s two 4-H poultry clubs alone would fill a school bus, and a second bus just for the chickens. Youngsters abound at

the Paul and Mariclaire Glova’s mini-farm on Tremont Street, and there’s another batch over at the O’Neill Farm on Winter Street and Autumn Avenue.

You may have bought some 4-H eggs at the Duxbury Farmer’s Market’s grand opening.

I ran into Mariclaire at the market – but first, a bit of due diligence and disclosure. I volunteer at the fair, and this year I’m more involved than ever in 4-H and the Poultry House. I’ve been attending the monthly meetings at the fairgrounds, sucking up the pizza somebody brings, and adding very little to raise the level of discourse. Nothing new, but now I do it as a committee member, not as a journalist.

Last weekend the Duxbury Bay Mari-time School hosted

the 2009 Duxbury Bay Junior 420 Regatta—the first major sailing event to be staged from DBMS’s spectacular new waterfront facility. This two day regatta on Duxbury Bay included 23 boats from yacht clubs and schools all through-out Massachusetts. Despite less than perfect weather all races were sailed and the event was deemed a success by all involved.

The first day consisted of light winds from the northeast and heavy fog covering the race course. Sunday was less foggy and moderately windy, also from the northeast. Sean Golden and Doyle Calhoun of DBMS won the regatta with 8 points, followed by Katy Baker and Riley Calhoun of Cohasset. Allison Shane and Stephen Pellegrini of DBMS rounded out the top three. Mike Healy did a great job leading the P.R.O. while par-ent volunteers and the DBMS sailing staff also helped run this regatta and made it a great event to showcase the new campus.

Other Duxbury sailors in the top ten were Aidan DiPri-ma and Liz Runci who placed sixth and Austin Schofield and Ian Willie who placed sev-enth.

Thanks to the huge deck and ample boat staging area, DBMS’s ACCESSAIL pro-gram for disabled sailors was also in full swing for the day on Saturday.

Duxbury’s got talent


So I ran into Mariclaire at the Farmers Market, chatted a little about the 4-H booth and the eggs they were selling. The eggs are from pastured hens. Mariclaire helped me sort out some of the differences in how eggs and hens are designated (some of this I knew already).

“Cage-free” can mean very little. Hens may be hoarded in huge barns, de-beaked so they don’t peck each other to death, never see the light of the sun or restful darkness at night and still be called “cage-free.” It’s a step down, probably, from being “Born Free” and hiding the phase “From Caged Hens” in fine print on the side of the package. At the Glova Farm, 4-Hers are striving for something between “free-range” and “pastured.” Both designations require enough space and time for hens to forage, sun-bathe, graze and catch bugs without stripping the area clean from all its grass.

“You can tell our hens get plenty of sun,” Mariclaire explained. “White feathers turn yellow in the sun. If you see a brilliant white hen, you know she never goes outside.”

Jeff Chandler inherits a few hens now and then, but his farm between Lincoln and Franklin Streets raises beef. He’s tied in with Carl O’Neill’s dairy farm. Cows need to be bred to produce milk. Their calves get plenty, and the rest goes into bottles for a year or so. The heifers (females) might stay on to become dairy cows, but the bullocks need another plan, something like the extra roosters in a poultry operation. In a full-sized farm, all of these activities take place in one comprehensive operation. Giant roasters are often capons – castrated roosters that grow large and tender. Beef is often from steers – bullocks who find a fate similar to capons.

It’s enough to make some folks into vegetarians, but for everyone a deeper look into farm life raises awareness. Indeed, there may be nothing more callous than scarfing down eggs and burgers without the slightest awareness of the lives and deaths of the animals involved. On a commercial farm, for example, hens may receive the best life possible as long as they lay eggs, but they are not kept on afterwards as pets. They finish their existence as soup. The closer people are to such cycles, the more likely they are to demand a healthy, humane life and death for the animals involved.

You and your family can reconnect your roots to the past and present by making the fair a hands-on experience. This year’s exhibitors handbook is available online at www.marshfieldfair.org. Mind the entry dates; some are days before the Fair opens. You’ll need to plan. Others are then and there, like the Cow Flap Toss.

A constellation of stories and songs


By steve WoodWorth special to the clipper

Dave Caso and his crew aboard his Cherubini 44, Sil-

houette, have again won their class in the grueling Marion Bermuda Cruising Yacht Race contested between June 19 and June 25.

This was the 17th run-ning of this classic, biennial ocean race sponsored jointly by the Beverly Yacht Club (of Marion, Massachusetts), the Royal Hamilton Amateur Dinghy Club, and Blue Water Sailing. The 645 nautical mile race started just after noon on Friday, June 19, outside Mar-ion’s Sippican Harbor amidst drizzle, fog, and some 12 to 15 knots of wind from the south-west.

Because of weather and, presumably, the current eco-nomic crisis, the usual roaster of 75 to 80 boats in prior years was down to 50 boats compet-ing in four classes, which di-vided boats by size and speed potential. Silhouette com-peted in Class D with 11 other boats.

In the 2007 race Caso and crew captured a variety of tro-phies, including Class winner and overall winner. The hope among all aboard, of course, was to repeat this admirable feat.

Based upon weather pre-dictions and projections as to gulf stream activity Caso and his navigator, Sam Lawson chose not to sail in a straight line directly to Bermuda but, rather, to go west of this “rumb line” in an effort to capitalize upon favorable currents.

What Caso, and the rest of the fleet, saw on this west-erly route is what some have described as a “mini perfect storm” as two low pressure systems converged to produce winds in excess of 40 knots (over 50 m.p.h.) and towering seas, sometimes reaching 25 feet in height. So significant was this weather system that only three of the 12 boats in Silhouette’s class actually fin-ished the race. Overall, 19 of the boats that were originally scheduled to start either with-drew before the start or threw in the towel at some point dur-

ing the race. Ripped sails, bro-ken halyards, and assorted hull damage was the order of the day. Perhaps the most signifi-cant damage was to a sailboat racing in A Fleet when the im-pact of a large wave caused the vessel’s fuel tank to rupture, filling the living quarters with some 50 gallons of diesel fuel and shorting out numerous on-board electronic components. In a post race moment, the skipper of a boat competing in Class B was seen to break-down in uncontrollable sobs of relief simply to be ashore.

With a combination of seamanship and tenacity Sil-houette’s crew was able to get the boat through, mostly un-scathed, and cross the finish line off Saint David’s Light-house in Bermuda Thursday morning, June 25. Once the calculations were done to ap-

ply the various boats’ handi-caps Silhouette “corrected out” to first place in its class.

In addition to Sam Law-son, Caso’s crew also included Sam’s daughter Eleanor, who at 23 has already completed 7 Bermuda races. Ned Lawson, Terry Watson, and Keith Pratt rounded out the Silhouette crew.

Shawn Dahlen, and crew aboard the Beneteau 423, At-titude, finished sixth in class shortly after 5 p.m. on Thurs-day. Dahlen won the Beneteau Award for the best finish by a Beneteau brand boat. Six of the 13 boats in Class C were unable to endure the rigors of the weather system and retired from the race. Crewmember Keith Fotta commented “this isn’t sailboat racing – it’s sur-viving in the right direction.”

Skipper Dahlen and his

navigator, Steve Woodworth, and weather specialist Mark Lindquist all concurred that the westerly route to the is-land made the most sense as it would facilitate the best entrance to and exit from the Gulf Stream.

The weather encoun-tered on this route, however, had foredeck crew Andre Martecchini and Steve Trehu frequently scrambling to the front of the boat and, on one occasion up the mast to repair broken lines and to repeated-ly change sails. The weather conditions and the length of the race gave rise to many an on- board vow “this is my last race.” Ashore and two or three Dark ‘n Stormies later, how-ever, plans were already being hatched for the next Bermuda race.
