School officials are hoping a private company can help them close the budget gap in their school lunch program.

The School Committee voted 4-1 to enter into negotia-tions with Chartwells to priva-tize the school food service at their meeting Wednesday night.

Superintendent Susan Skeiber gave a powerpoint summation of the lunch pro-gram’s financial woes over the years.

Starting in 2007, the pro-

gram incured a loss that had to be covered from the school’s operating budget. By fis-cal year 2009, the loss was $116,382.47.

“One of the contributing factors was the change in the healthcare to the town,” said Skeiber.

The school district tried to make up the deficit in sev-eral ways. An assistant man-ager position was cut, and staff hours were reduced by one half-hour (excepting employ-ees who only worked three

Land along Island Creek bought in 2006 for conser-vation purposes will now be under the Conservation Com-mission’s control, Duxbury se-lectmen decided this week.

Selectmen Chairman Shawn Dahlen and Selectman Chris Donato voted unani-mously on Monday to deed 4.5 acres of land on Elm Street

to the care of the Conserva-tion Commission. Selectman Betsy Sullivan did not attend the meeting.

The town, using Conser-vation Commission funds, bought the land in 2006 from Brad Cushing for $10,000, ac-cording to Conservation Ad-ministrator Joe Grady.

Grady said the land was acquired to secure an area along Island Creek as well as

to gain access to a two-rung fish ladder there so it could be repaired. The ladder, which has undergone reconstruction in recent years, is used by her-ring, which swim to fresh wa-ter to spawn.

“We’re always interested in buying land to protect the river corridor,” Grady said.

The land, which Grady de-scribed as “quite scenic,” can be accessed via Elm Street in Tinkertown.

The deed transfer has been approved by Town Counsel Robert Troy.

In other business, select-men:

Signed a proclamation honoring departing school su-perintendent Susan Skeiber.

Granted an event permit to Bay Farm Montessori Acad-emy for its sixth annual 5K Walk/Run on Nov. 7.

Announced the Depart-ment of Public Works summer street paving schedule, which includes Chestnut Street, Weston Road, Acorn Street, Tobey Garden Street and parts of Keene Street and Mayflow-er Street.

Committee appointments madeAt Monday night’s meeting, the Board of Selectmen made

the following appointments and reappointments to these vari-ous town committees:

• Reappointed Richard DeLisle as a Constable for a three-year term

• Reappointed Matthew Walsh and Anne Antonellis to the Council on Aging for three year terms each and appointed Catherine Maven as an ex officio member.

• Appointed Ninky Savage, Henry Milliken, Bev Walters, Bill Campbell and Reverend Elizabeth Stevens to the Council on Aging alternate members for one-year terms.

• Reappointed J.R. Kent and Joseph Messina to the Dux-bury Bay Management Commission for three-year terms.

• Reappointed Philip Markella and Georgia Cosgrove to the Economic Advisory Council for three-year terms.

• Reappointed Diane Bartlett to the Highway Safety Com-mittee for a three-year term.

• Reappointed James Hartford, Pamela Campbell Smith and Robert C. Vose, III to the Local Historic District Commis-sion for three-year terms.

• Reappointed Henry Chang to the Nuclear Advisory Com-mittee for a three-year term.

• Reappointed Nancy Oates and Paul Christo as Registrar of Voters for a three year term. Oates will represent the Demo-cratic party and Christo the Republican party.

• Reappointed Nancy Johnson and Patricia Fahey to the Sidewalk and Bike Path Committee to three-year terms.

• Reappointed R. Taggart Carpenter, Richard Cowen, Su-sanna Sheehan, Robert C. Vose, III, and Steven Wonkka to the Tarkiln Committee for one-year terms.

• Reappointed Elizabeth H. Sullivan, Martha Himes, Lau-ra Schaefer and Diane Bartlett (ex officio) as Trustees of the Affordable Housing Trust for three-year terms.

• Reappointed Dimitri Theodossiou and Paul Bodreau to the Zoning Board of Appeals as alternate members for one-year terms.

• Accepted the resignation of Eugene Orosz from the Zon-ing Board of Appeal effective June 16, 2010.

The Zoning Board of Ap-peals tackled a number of 40B projects at their meeting Thurs-day night, including the contro-versial Island Creek expansion and the Merry Village project that recently led to the board’s chairman being personally sued.

The meeting started off on a controversial note when board Vice Chairwoman Judi Barrett insisted the discussion with the Island Creek applicants happen in executive session. After some discussion, the board met with the development team behind closed doors for over an hour.

After the meeting, Chair-man Dennis Murphy said the two sides had made some prog-ress but still had a number of items to work through. The hearing was continued until July 8.

The board also met with two trustees from the hom-eowners association at Merry Village, a 40B project that has recently been the subject of a defamation suit filed against Murphy last week by John Mc-Clusky, an attorney working with the developers, whose son lives in one of the units on the

property.One of the trustees said he

was expecting the project’s de-veloper, Paul Cincotta, to drop off a check to Building Inspec-tor Scott Lambiase in order to pay the fees to cover the re-maining punch list items on the development. He said Cincotta had taken care of some items around the property such as fix-ing an irrigation pump and dig-ging a drainage ditch.

However, Lambiase said he has not received any such check, much to the disappoint-ment of the two trustees.

The board then debated closing the public hearing on the project, which has been left open despite the lack of par-ticipation by the development team. At a prior public hearing, Cincotta said he was frustrated with what he saw as overzeal-ousness by the town’s review engineer, and he has not shown up at any hearings since then.

“It sounds to me like his re-lationships with his customers are getting worked out,” said Barrett about the issues with the homeowners. “There’s nothing else to consider.”

Barrett suggested sending a letter to MassHousing, the state agency that oversees afford-

able housing projects, about the boards’ remaining questions with Merry Village, including cost certification documents the town’s accountant has asked for, and clarification of the is-sue of whether McCluskey has a “financial interest” in the project.

“If we don’t get a response from them ... I think what we need to do is package this proj-ect up in a box or two and ask the inspector general to review it,” Barrett said. “I don’t know where else we go. But I don’t think it’s appropriate to let this sit.”

Member Michael Gill said that he agreed with Barrett that it wasn’t legally necessary to keep the hearing open, but said he wanted to proceed with “an abundance of caution.”

“There’s been so much neg-ativity around this,” said mem-ber Jill Cadigan-Christenson. “I think the more publicly we do this, the better it looks.”

The board voted to con-tinue the hearing until July 22. Murphy was present for the dis-cussion but did not participate and did not vote on the motion to continue the hearing.

IS THIS YOUR CHICKEN? Farmers market holds opening

Duxbury’s very own Farm-ers and Artisans Regional Market, also known as DUX-FARM, opens this Wednesday, June 30, at 12:30 p.m. at its Tarkiln Community Center site on Route 53. While the market setup may be temporarily af-fected by construction work, this year will bring many of the vendors whose products residents came to appreciate from last year’s market in ad-dition to some new ones.

The focus continues to be on fresh and local so come on by, every Wednesday, 12:30 - 4:30 p.m., until Oct. 13. This is an opportunity to enjoy a truly New England experi-ence at the town’s very own twin schoolhouse. It is also a chance to support local farm-ers and craftspeople, to share in the sense of community that is a natural outgrowth of the market, and to reduce one’s carbon footprint.

Items available at the mar-ket include all locally grown produce and fruits, baked goods, jams, jellies and hon-ey, local eggs, lobster, herbs and plants, prepared organic foods from the area’s most ac-claimed chefs, aromatherapy, handmade soaps, hand-crafted jewelry, textiles and unique artwork. Visit the Web site at duxburyfarmersmarket.org.

Maybe elevator shoes could help us out

By John Britten, Clipper Columnist

If I seem a little cranky this week, it is due to a new scientific report from Europe that posits short people are more prone to heart problems than tall people. In

fact, the study claims that short people have a 50 percent higher risk of heart problems or dying of a heart attack (which certainly could be considered a “problem”) than tall people.

I have had great empathy for short people ever since Randy Newman dissed them in a song some years ago. (Don’t you just love people with speech impediments who make fun of other people?) Personally, at 5” 7” in height, I have never considered myself short. Apparently, the authors of the study agree as they define “short” as any male under 5’ 3” and “tall” as anyone over 5’ 9”. So, here’s my first problem with the study ... how about us guys in the middle? The 5-foot 7-inch guys? Or the 5-foot 4-inch or the 5-foot 8-inch, etc.? What are our odds? They absolutely disregarded the concerns of 50 percent of the world’s male population. (I just made that number up, so prove me wrong.) Or, what if you’re 5-foot, 3-and-a-half inches tall? Are you 30 percent more likely to have problems?

Here’s another problem I have with the study. The lead author was Tuula Paajanen from Tumpere University. Over the years, I have learned to be very wary of anyone with successive matching vowels in their first and last name. My, shall I say, skepticism in her study was confirmed when I read her attempt to console the targeted short people. “Height is only one factor,” she confessed while noting that other factors like smoking, exercising and diet may come into play. She suggested that short people concentrate on those issues since, as she pointed out, “those are easier to change than your height!” Do you suppose that everyone at Tumpere U. is that insightful? (Lest you think I’m picking on a foreign school, the runner-up for scientific insight this week came from the Harvard School of Public Health which, following a study of 11,000 children, announced that children living in nonsmoking homes are less likely to be exposed to secondhand smoke!!)

This is the very sort of study that makes me convinced, more than ever, that when I become King, I’m only going to allow scientific reports on important issues that people care about. Studies that produce results. I’ll guarantee you that no one under 5-foot 3, is going to be eating more broccoli after this report or standing in line to join a gym. And as for some of those other studies, let’s face it…there are only nine people in the whole world who really care about the future of three toed spotted salamanders or how much methane gas the average cow releases.

No, when I’m King we will only spend money on big issues that aim to produce results:

• Why we need 3 remotes for 1 television set• Why big fat people usually have little bitty dogs• Why we can’t keep Kate Gosselin off television• Why NASCAR is so popularIf you have your own list of issues worthy of government

funding, please let me hear from you at [email protected]. (Unless you have successive matching vowels in your first and last name.)

He was also an art historian, specializing in European and American painting and sculp-ture as well as photography, with degrees from Williams College and New York Uni-versity’s Institute for Fine

Besides the Getty Museum in Brentwood and the Getty Villa collection of ancient Greek and Roman art near Malibu, the trust encompasses separate institutions for grant making, art scholarship and art conser-vation that give it a worldwide reach.

In addition to his wife, art historian and painter Emese Forizs, Mr. Wood leaves his daughters Lenke Moscarelli of

Providence, R.I., and Rebecca Green of San Francisco; and three granddaughters. He also leaves his brothers Thomas H. Wood and Charles H. Wood Jr., both Duxbury residents. Services will be private.

A. It sounds like the filter is in need of a good clean-ing. Oils, grease and scale are common in all filters. A heavy build-up reduces filtration significantly. Remember, 70% of water clarity is a result of good filtration, chemicals you use in the pool account for only 30% of that "clear water look."

A former Duxbury man whose rape conviction was overturned on appeal has been convicted again.

Jose Arana, 47, a former soccer coach at Notre Dame Academy, was found guilty of rape of a child with force and two counts of indecent assault and battery of a person 14 or over on Monday, according to a statement from the Plymouth County District Attorney’s of-fice. He was found not guilty of one count of assault with intent to rape.

Arana was originally con-victed of attempted rape and of giving alcohol to minors in 2007. The charges stemmed from a sleepover on July 28, 2004 when, according to the District Attorney, Arana pro-vided alcohol to his under-aged daughter and her friends, played a drinking game with them and then sexually as-

saulted the 15-year-old victim. The victim, who had recently completed her freshman year at Duxbury High School, played on a South Shore soc-cer team coached by Arana.

However, that ruling was overturned two years later when his lawyer contested the judge’s use of the “first com-plaint” rule.

First complaint deals with

witness testimony in sexual assault cases, Arana’s appel-late attorney Robert Shaw told the Clipper in 2009.

When a sexual assault vic-tim tells someone about the at-tack, that person is known as the “first complaint” and their testimony is allowed in court, even though in some circum-stances that would be consid-ered hearsay. However, Shaw said the judge in Arana’s first case, Charles Grabau, was too liberal with the application of the first complaint rule.

The second trial took place over five days before Judge Linda Giles in Brockton Su-perior Court. The jury deliber-ated for over six hours before returning the verdicts.

Following the verdicts, Arana’s bail was revoked and he was taken into custody, ac-cording to the DA. Sentencing is scheduled for 11 a.m. on Wednesday, June 30 in Brock-ton Superior Court.

The event begins with refresh-ments at 10 a.m. and the lec-

ture commences at 10:30 a.m.Other speakers in the series

Duxbury police are warning residents about a scam being perpetrated over the phone.

In a statement, Chief Matthew Clancy reported that at least one resident has fallen victim to the scam, which involves a suspect calling a potential victim and claiming that they are calling on behalf of a relative who has been arrested and needs bail money. The victim is then instructed to wire the money to a Western Union office where the suspect claims it. Variations on this scam have included claims of medical emergencies. The suspects frequently target senior citizens and claim they are calling on behalf of nieces, nephews or grandchildren. Residents are advised to be suspicious of anyone who requests that money be “wired” to them, Clancy said. Residents are also reminded not to give out personal information to unsolic-ited phone callers.

For more information call the Duxbury Police Department at 781-934-5656.

New summer theater program South Shore Conservatory and the Duxbury Art Association

announce open registration for their collaborative two-week summer theater program titled “Let’s Put on a Show!” for chil-dren ages 6 to 11 from Aug. 16 to 27 at the Ellison Center for the Arts. The day program will be held from Monday through Friday both weeks, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.

SSC instructors will guide students as they develop acting roles, write songs and play musical accompaniments to be featured in the camp finale: a full production musical, “Bremen Town Musicians.” This Grimm’s Fairy Tale-style play tells a tale of cooperation and friendship that captures the spirit of the collaborative camp experience through animals played by actors. Students will welcome parents and families to their completed musical production on Aug. 27.

hours a day.)Those actions saved the

district $135,000, said Skeiber, however there was still a pro-jected budget shortfall of $135,000 for fiscal year 2010.

The reduction of hours also engendered some controversy because it caused many of the workers to lose their health benefits. Some of the cafeteria workers resigned because of this situation, Skeiber said.

The district also negoti-ated with the unions to restore the half-hour and the benefits, but with a lower cost health care plan. That move saved $50-80,000.

During all this, the district put out a request for proposal to see if there was any interest in a private firm running the food service. Three companies responded, and a subcommit-tee recommended the Duxbury schools go with Chartwells if they were to privatize.

Skeiber said Chartwells offered a number of different things in their pitch to the dis-trict.

Under Chartwells, the av-erage meal price would stay about the same but the com-pany believes it can increase participation by 6 percent.

The company also has resources the school district lacks in terms of pursuing re-imbursements, and because Chartwells is so large, they can save money on food costs by buying in bulk. Simply put, Skeiber said, the company would have higher operat-ing costs but more profit, and would be able to not only make up the budget deficit but bring revenue to the school. They would also make an initial in-vestment of $100,000 in the school’s facilities and would offer a $1,000 scholarship.

“Everybody is struggling with the human aspect of this, but when you’re struggling with deficits ...w that’s dif-ficult to continue to do,” said Skeiber, who recommended the committee move forward with privatization.

Committee member Mau-reen Connolly said the greater issue of health insurance for all town employees has to be examined.

“The real issue here is the health insurance,” she said. “This year it’s hitting caf eteria workers, next year is it going to be the janitors ... I just dont’ think this is the way we want to be treating our long term employees.”

Resident Jim Sullivan said he thought the committee was making a hasty decision.

“As a citizen I have a right to know what’s going on with the numbers ... not 10 minutes before a vote gets taken,” he said.

He asked why the School Committee has not pressed the town for more answers on why the cafeteria workers’ benefits come out of the lunch revenue, rather than the town’s general fund.

“Why has the selective treatment been allowed to oc-cur?” he asked.

Theresa Lesko, who has worked in the cafeteria for 11 years, said that she didn’t want to see the schools privatize with a company affiliated with fast food.

“Be prepared, Duxbury parents, to hire a personal trainer,” she said. “Tonight I’m asking the school commit-tee to reconsider this decision for the sake of the children.”

When it came time to vote, School Committee mem-ber Gary Magnuson made an amendment asking that Chartwells consider the cur-rent food service employees first when filling positions, and that the company make every effort to improve the nutri-tional quality of the food. The amendment passed 4-1, with Connolly dissenting.

The second vote, to autho-rize the schools to negotiate a food service contract with Chartwells, also passed 4-1, with Connolly voting no.

“We’ve known for a long time we cannot sustain the level of cost increases ... and still provide the level of staff-ing we have now,” said School Committee Chairwoman Anne Ward. “There’s no mystery there.”

Sometimes having a pes-simistic attitude works in your favor.

This appears to be the case for Duxbury’s town officials as they said recently that they are in a good position to weather a proposed four percent local aid cut because they planned on ten percent cuts.

Town Manager Richard MacDonald told the Board of Selectmen Monday night that Duxbury’s 2011 budget would not be negatively impacted by the proposed reduction in local aid because the town planned for much less state aid when budgeting for the current fiscal year.

“We saw this coming, so we are in good shape,” said MacDonald.

The state Senate has pro-posed a four percent reduc-tion over last year’s budget in Chapter 70 and lottery aid to cities and towns. This budget has not been finalized yet.

According to John Mad-den, Duxbury finance direc-tor, the town predicted that its Chapter 70 local aid would be cut by ten percent so it reduced its FY11 budget to reflect this. Madden said that for FY10, lo-cal aid totaled over $4.25 mil-lion and the town decided to predict that it would only see approximately $3.8 million in local aid for FY11.

“We prepared for the worst,” said Madden.

Although the amount is not finalized, Duxbury’s local aid is set at just over $4.36 mil-lion, which is $110,000 more than the last fiscal year and

$535,000 more than Duxbury thought it would receive this year, said Madden.

The town also predicted its lottery aid would be reduced by ten percent, but, so far, it has been cut by only four per-cent, said Madden.

Madden said he was satis-fied with the town’s prudent fiscal planning but cautioned that since the state budget was still facing a huge shortfall, he wouldn’t be surprised if local aid is reduced again.

“We protected the best interests of the town and I’m very happy with where we are at this point,” he said.

If the figures hold and Duxbury does receive more state aid than it planned on, the money will go into the town’s general fund to be used where it is needed in the budget, said Madden.

Manager: Town will weather most recent local aid cuts

Playtime

pairs developmentally dis-abled children with adult play-ers. The game was originally scheduled to be played two weeks ago, but tempestuous skies and the tragic passing of J.J. Coulimore postponed the game until this past Saturday.

J.J. Coulimore, 17, was a sweet young man who enjoyed Saturday afternoons playing baseball through Buddy Ball. The game was christened as the J.J. Coulimore Memorial Game.

“I remember one after-noon, as we were approach-ing the baseball field, J.J. started screaming in delight. He jumped out of the car and sprinted towards the field,” said Ruth Coulimore, mother of J.J. There was no bicker-ing over the score, because no score was kept. There was no shameless gloating and bragging, because everyone got multiple hits and multiple runs. There were no divisions amongst the players, as both teams were adorned with Red Sox garb. There was only the enabling and ennobling of de-velopmentally disabled ath-letes.

In order for this night to happen, the coordinated ef-forts of both Duxbury Youth Baseball and the ARC of Greater Plymouth were nec-essary. Buddy Ball has been in existence for five seasons. During the year, they meet at Lower Alden Field at 2 p.m. on Saturdays. DYB and ARC of Greater Plymouth had been

planning this evening for over two years. Mike Showstead, is the Director of Buddy Ball, and has been a fixture amongst Duxbury Youth Baseball for years. He, in conjunction with Jill O’Reilly, the Community Sports Coordinator for ARC, organized this event. Of the 432 members of ARC, 35 players are registered with Buddy Ball. In addition to the developmentally disabled ath-letes, members of the record-setting 2010 Duxbury High School Baseball team were on hand and ready to play. Each high school athlete was paired with a developmentally dis-abled athlete. Both members of the pairing are referred to as “buddies”, hence the name “Buddy Ball.” Besides coach-ing and assisting the athletes, the high school athletes and ARC athletes quickly became friends. Two teams were as-sembled, the “white” Red Sox and the “blue” Red Sox. The buddy pairs were introduced together using Train Field’s sound system, in a manner that emulated the introduction of the actual Red Sox. In ad-dition to the All-Star introduc-tion, our national anthem was played through the sound sys-tem. J.J.’s mother and aunt pre-sented the flag for Saturday’s game. Although the night was a resounding success, one big surprise was still in store.

Wally the Green Mon-ster, the official mascot of the Boston Red Sox, made an ap-

pearance at the game. While Wally’s teammates were away in San Francisco, Wally stayed behind and made certain that he attended Buddy Ball’s first night game. Wally played for both incarnations of the Red Sox and provided a light, cheery respite to the storm clouds hovering over Train Field. During the middle of the second inning, fireworks sprung up from behind the Performing Arts Center.

Although the recent trag-edy did permeate all aspects of the night, it did not detract from the night. Rather, it gave the night a sense of purpose and meaning. J.J.’s friends and family were on hand to wit-ness a collaborative outpour-ing of love from the Buddy Ball association. It is difficult to imagine a more fitting trib-ute to this young man’s life than a baseball game played under the bright lights, with fireworks streaking across the summer sky. Mike Show-stead had this to say about J.J. Coulimore before the game: “J.J. exemplifies what Buddy Ball is all about: Excitement, Excellence, and Friendship.”

Buddy Ball under the lightscontinued from page one

Steve Blout and Wendy Griffin were a buddy pairing for the game. Griffin had a moon shot in the first inning, in part due to the assis-tance and coaching of Blout.

J.J. Coulimore, pictured here as a sophomore, passed away on June 13. He was an instrumental part of the Buddy Ball program.

Sculptures by Robert St. Pierre on display at the ACM

The wood sculptures of Robert St. Pierre, internationally-known sculptor and former Duxbury resident for many years, is on exhibit until August 15 at The Art Complex Museum. He will return to the museum, where he has exhibited before, for the opening of his solo exhibition on July 11, from 1:30-3:30 p.m.

For many years, St. Pierre was a neighbor of the museum, living on St. George Street, where he tilled the sawdust from his studio into his garden soil which was watched over by scare-crows created by his wife Mary. Robert St. Pierre calls his ves-sels wooden pottery.

Today, he works out of his home in Hayesville, North Caro-lina where he and Mary have lived for the last 15 years. His ves-sels are now in collections in more than twenty countries around the world. His work has been shown at Tiffany’s, Copley Place, the Smithsonian Museum in Washington D.C. and is in the per-manent collections of several U.S. embassies.

WHERE ARE THEY? Where in the world is the children’s depart-ment staff? They’ve made it to Antarctica. Their next stop is the continent with the highest and lowest points on earth and also the longest man-made structure in the world. The world’s smallest mammal, the bumblebee bat, is native to this continent. Where are they going? visit the children’s department, put your guess in the fishbowl, and watch next week to see if you guessed cor-rectly. Don’t forget to sign up for Passport to Adventure!

Your town needs your help to fill committee seatsThere are several positions open on a number of

boards around town, and the town needs dedicated, intelligent people to fill these seats.

Sure, some of these boards may not have the glitz and glamor of the Board of Selectmen (we’re sure all three selectmen are rolling on the ground with laughter after reading that statement) but they are no less important. Duxbury has good government at the top, but the town cannot function without dozens upon dozens of volunteer board members who give up their evenings to do the business of running the community. These boards don’t always get covered by the newspaper, and if you serve on one, you may not get stopped at Foodie’s by a thankful resident. But you will be doing your town and your neighbors a great service by lending your talents to local government.

Below are just a few of the groups around town looking for members. There are others, but these are the most pressing (some are having quorum issues for meeting). If you have any expertise in these areas –– or even if you don’t and just want to give back to your community –– drop the selectmen’s office a line and start participating today.

How do I volunteer: All interested parties are asked to complete and submit a Talent Bank form.

Are there any criteria for serving: Yes, you must be a reg-istered Duxbury voter per the town bylaws.

Where can I get a talent bank form: On the town web site, town.duxbury.ma.us at the top of the Boards and Committee page; hard copies can be picked up in the lobby of the Duxbury Town Halls; or e-mail C. Anne Murray at [email protected] to request a form.

Last Thursday eve-ning, June 24, the Zoning Board of Ap-

peals held a public hearing on the matter of the Island Creek expansion. However, the pub-lic portion of the hearing was short lived. The board voted to go into a lengthy executive session. I fully understand the need for executive sessions. It allows sensitive discussions between two parties to be con-ducted without setting public precedences. In this instance, it was between a board represent-ing the town and an applicant. Usually, one can expect the board to represent the interests of the Town. However, in this

instance, I seriously question whether the interests being rep-resented during this executive session were reflective of the needs and wishes of the com-munity.

Having attended many of the previous public meetings on this matter, I observed few objections by the public on this proposed expansion. However, most, if not all, of the objec-tions were voiced by members of the board. Further, most of those objections appeared based more upon opinion rather than on zoning issues and did little to improve the project and more to add cost, perhaps in the hope of discouraging the

applicant. This latest tactic of a protracted discussion in private has done little to convince me that this board is acting in the interest of the community.

I recall, it was more than eight years ago when another town committee requested the applicant to propose this expan-sion. I presume that, not until the application chose to pursue this matter as a 40B project, was it given serious consider-ation. Enough time has passed by these unneeded delays and much damage has been done to those in need of this expansion. It’s about time to proceed.

We would like to thank the Dux-bury Music

Promoters for the wonderful retirement reception held for us on June 11 at the Duxbury Bay Maritime School. Many alumni, students, parents, and teachers came to help us cel-ebrate more than thirty years of teaching music in the Duxbury Public Schools. Plymouth Phil-harmonic Orchestra conductor, Steven Karidoyanes, honored us by conducting a piece writ-ten by Jim Vinci. It was a joy

for us to watch graduating se-nior Maria Varonko lead the ensemble of DHS students and many alumni. The visual presentation made by the Mu-sic Promoters showed many scenes from our music teaching over the last thirty years. It was so much fun to hear the guests reactions to the very young teachers in the photos. Thank you to all the Music Promot-ers and many volunteers who prepared beautiful, delicious food for the party. The book of memories you made for each

of us to take home was a great reflection of our years of teach-ing. We loved talking to the guests and former students who made a special effort to attend. We also loved getting messages from the students far away.

You really sent us on our way into our next chapters with elegance and style.

Musically yours with grati-tude,

Susan Sylvester and Jim Vinci

Retirement celebration was ‘a joy’ —————

What is it going to take? I ask again. What is it

going to take for all of us, the people of this beautiful town to put the paper down, grab our remotes, put on GBH and get Bocelli and Brightman in their great duet “it’s time to say

good bye” listen and enjoy for a bit. What I mean exactly is, one does not even have to wait a week or two any more to read about our town manager. Now, we just have to turn a page in the paper and find his latest side show. The latest, with a fine hard-working volunteer ZBA

Chairman Dennis Murphy, who he is letting swing in the wind in a personal lawsuit. When is this town going to walk or call its Board of Selectman and ask for the immediate removal of this menace to our town.

390 Washington Street Duxbury by the Sea • Dinners nightly at 5:00 pm Closed Sundays

Late Wednesday night in Duxbury, 26 school/town long-

term, loyal employees were fired from their jobs, under the pretense of “selective cost sav-ings” and “better food.” Not only did they lose their job, but also their health coverage, their accrued public service and their retirement opportunity after many years of faithful service.

This devastating action was taken against the Duxbury School cafeteria workers by a 4 to 1 vote of the Duxbury School Committee, to terminate these people and privatize the caf-eteria. This was done after also having deprived many of the workers of their health benefit coverage as of last September. This blatantly discriminatory treatment continues, while other employees of the school and the town, including staff and teachers, retain their jobs and health benefits. And, ineq-uitably, they continue to award

annual salary increases while the low-paid cafeteria workers are terminated from their jobs to “cut costs” ... This is unfair and unacceptable.

And, with regard to the “bet-ter food” reason given, these workers do not determine food quality or menu. That is man-agement’s function. Certainly there are ways management can/should have made menu, quality and cost improvements, such as introducing local and collective purchasing, etc.

These poorly represented cafeteria workers, who are treated differently for benefits for the town, have even offered givebacks/contract concessions to the town, but to no avail. No other group, union or non-union or management, stepped up with similar offers to save. The silence is deafening.

And even more concern-ing, there has been no public outcry of support from any par-ents, and other residents or the town leaders for this defense-less group of workers who, for many years, have served food to their children.

Certainly, the “children of Duxbury” would have con-ducted themselves more sensi-tively and humanely than all of the adults in resolving this ugly situation.

cer is the most common type of cancer in the United States. A few facts about the disease:

• 1 out of 5 Americans will develop skin cancer during their lifetime

• More than 20 Americans die each day from melanoma

• One “bad” sunburn during childhood doubles the likeli-hood of developing melanoma later in life

• One’s risk for developing skin cancer doubles if that per-son has had five or more sunburns at any age

• Ultraviolet radiation-found in tanning beds-is a known hu-man carcinogen

• More than one million cases of skin cancer will be diag-nosed this year

Interested in buying more local fruits, veg-etables, and jellies?

Want to support the local arti-san community? Then come on down to the Duxbury Farmer’s Market on Wednesday, June 30. The market is located directly in front of the Tarkiln Commu-nity Center and it is open from 12:30 to 4:30 p.m. This will be the second year of existence for the Duxbury Farmer’s Market. The farmers market is part of DUXFARM, a local or-ganization dedicated to bring-ing local, fresh, and delicious produce to you. DUXFARM stands for Duxbury Farmers and Artisans Regional Market. After a resoundingly success-ful first year, the organization has decided to come back for another year with a greater va-riety of options.

With growing concerns about the geographical ori-gin of fruits and vegetables and what impact that might have on our bodies and the environment, the “locavore” movement has gained more and more followers over the past few years. The “locavore” movement is embodied by DUXFARM.

DUXFARM came to-gether in January of 2009 and exclusively sells the products of local farmers and artisans.

Local farmers, such as Cre-tininon’s and Karen Martin, sell fresh fruit, vegetables, flowers, and herbs. Laura Doherty, President of DUX-FARM, hopes that a meat ven-dor and a cheese vendor join the organization and sell their products. Although the market is dominated by produce ven-dors, many talented local arti-sans also sell their work at the farmers market.

Artisans sell everything from bread and jelly to intri-

cately designed jewelry. One environmentally conscious artisan refuses to use paper in their work. Another utilizes stained glass. An artisan from Hingham who sold a popu-lar piece of jewelry last year called the “Bog,” featuring a cranberry color scheme, is re-turning this year. In addition to the eight artisans that sell their work, there is one ven-dor who sells delicious and locally-created honey. There are four bakers that will be in

attendance this year. Doherty said that she was inspired by the successful markets in Plymouth, Cohasset, Hing-ham, and Marshfield. She also said that neither Youth Base-ball nor construction around the Tarkiln area will impede the market from happening. Additionally, the prices of the

products at the farmer’s mar-ket range the spectrum, en-suring that it is by no means exclusionary. DUXFARM is excited to return for its second year and Doherty hopes that even more Duxburians return to support this wonderful local organization.

The Duxbury Free Library’s Bookmarks, a teen reading and discussion

group, was off to Washington, D.C. this past weekend to present themselves and their program to the national conference of the American Library Association. Librarian Ellen Snoeyenbos, as part of her role as head of the young adult department at the library tipped me off, just in case I

missed the story in the June 23 Clipper (my words, not hers). I read it almost immediately.

Ellen and the kids joined two other groups (Ohio and Missouri), selected

from a larger group of applicants from across the nation to present a 90-minute multi-media workshop, including a role-played meeting. Caveat: I’m writing this in a time warp. Ellen told me the plan, and I’m writing as if it happened. Next week’s column will include interviews with the kids, real facts about how the trip and the presentation came off, and more about the roots of the program.

By timothy leland, special to the clipper

“Don’t worry.” The outfitter’s voice be-

hind me was low and calm, the twang of a Western accent playing around the edges. “A horse would much rather stay on the trail than stumble over the side and fall to death in that ravine down there.”

This was very good news to me because I was worried. Very worried. I sneaked a quick glance to my right and peered down the abyss that fell off from the rocky, foot-wide trail my horse and I were tra-versing up the steep side of the mountain.

They say a horse’s eyes show flashes of white when it is terrified. I couldn’t see my horse’s eyes at the moment because I was hanging onto the saddle for dear life. So I didn’t know whether his eyes were rimmed with white, but I’m certain my own were. And I’m sure my face was ashen as well.

A question flashed through my addled brain about half way through the day’s eight-hour ride: What in god’s name was I doing on this gut-wrenching track in the wilderness, my tired old body snapping back and forth with every step of the creature beneath me?

The answer was simple and harebrained: I was re-prising a similar adventure on horseback that I had taken with my children when they were much, much younger, and I was too.

Back then, they were in their teens, and I was middle-aged. Now they were in their 30’s and I was in my 70’s, my Medicare card safe in my wal-

let. Once again, we were trek-

king through the wilderness of the Teton Mountains – along with eight horses, four mules, tents, sleeping bags, fishing rods, rain gear and enough trail mix to feed an army: my daughter, London, 33; her hus-band, Dave Herring, 34; my son, Sasha, 39; and my old childhood friend, Jim Dean of Berwick, Maine, who was a creaking senior citizen like me and had snow-white hair to prove it. We were accom-panied on the five-day trip by a cheerful Wyoming outfitter named Dustin Child; a loqua-cious trail cook named Barry “Bear” Shaw, and Rogelo Be-larde, a friendly trail hand.

As it turns out, taking a trip like this in your 70’s is

quite different than taking it in your 50’s.

For one thing, when you’re a septuagenarian the horses are a lot taller. Previously, I was able to put my foot in the stir-rup, then swing up, over and on. Now, for some reason, that maneuver wasn’t in my rep-ertoire. If there wasn’t a large rock or stump nearby to stand on, forget it. The horse and I were not going to connect.

Take-along medications also change. On the first trip, the only pills I brought were Vitamin C to ward off colds. This time, I brought baby aspi-rins to ward off heart attacks, Glucosamine to lubricate my aching back, and an assort-ment of other pills to soothe my stiffening joints. None of them solved another physical

problem, I discovered: When you’re on horseback at my age – no matter how spectacu-lar the views – you yearn for a nap about two in the after-noon, just like at home. And naps are hard to take when you’re jouncing back and forth in a saddle.

But naps or no, there’s nothing on earth more exhila-rating than riding through the Teton National Forest with your family on a sunny day in mid-July – the sky a deep blue, the wild flowers daubing the slopes with brilliant yel-lows, lavenders and reds, the mountain peaks in the distance glinting white with patches of snow.

The sights and sensations of both trips, the earlier ver-

Café.” Next week I’ll have a clearer picture of Phillips’ work. For now, Ellen explained that he proposes (and starts) groups of ordinary people who meet to explore the weighty questions that concern us all, and have inspired the great minds of philosophy and literature through the ages.

“It’s the model I used to form the Bookmarks,” Ellen explained. “It’s not a therapy group, not a gripe session. We focus on the questions that have always haunted humanity, and [through the readings], explore what they mean to us.”

Ellen sent me three videos about the program that the group has posted on Youtube, but my laptop and wireless Internet connector have developed a mystical capacity to frustrate all my efforts to engage them. If you go to Youtube.com and type “Duxbury teen book club ALA” in the Youtube search box, you should have better luck, unless your computer has also been mystically confounded.

I had picked up a book in my visit to the library, Matthew Skelton’s “Endymion Spring.” I think it has the answer to my computer woes. The book is set in Oxford, the site of my current binge of interest. Oxford University, with its 38 independent colleges, is the third oldest university in the world, and the oldest in the English speaking world. It wasn’t founded. It just emerged near the end of the 11th century when many still lived who had seen and mourned Harold’s collapse in 1066 and the clamp of the Norman Yoke on Saxon England thirty years before.

The Bodleian Library, Oxford’s central collection, grew up in the 15th century. Their Web site has, for example, directions to a “recommended entrance” for visitors. One gets the idea that there may be other entrances, but no one knows. I doubt if anyone knows the number of volumes held there. Skelton’s story is set especially in and around the Bodleian, which itself overgrew an earlier library built to house the books given by Humfrey, Duke of Gloucester. The stacks, it is said, run on for miles, deep under Oxford, the town so whimsical that where the river passes by, its name changes from “Thames” to “Isis.” Rivers of print. The term actually refers to the tiring streams of type and blank space that run down a badly-printed page. Hold a book on edge to see them more obviously. Careful printers subtly adjust the spacing of their type to avoid them. Skelton, an archivist by trade, knew to find a printer up to the task. His book has no rivers, and flows like a stream of ideas from the Bodleian. The Bookmarks gave it a Gold Seal, the sticker safely stuck on the protective plastic cover, not on the book. They’re too reverent for that. They love books. So do I.

Rivers of printcontinued from page one

sion and this one, remained the same, a testament to the eternal grandeur of the Ameri-can wilderness and the Federal laws to preserve it.

We trotted past stately groves of aspen, their rounded leaves twinkling in the early-morning sun. We rode through ghostly stands of dead fir trees, their majesty cut short in mid-life by the merciless flames of a raging forest fire. We crossed crystal clear mountain streams, our horses leaning against the current, pausing on the far side for a drink of the icy water. We pushed our way through the marshy willow bottoms that frequently gave off the sharp, delightful fragrance of pep-permint, and we rode through enchanted spruce forests, with lichen known as “old man’s whiskers” hanging from the limbs, the air heavy with the scent of pine.

Every afternoon about 4, after eight hours in the saddle, Child gave the word and we would look for an appropriate campsite. The saddles came off, the horses wandered away to graze, the younger members of the family debated the best place to pitch their tents; and Jim and I hobbled away to sit on a log and nurse our creak-ing bodies back to life.

Shaw was a wilderness chef who could produce the most amazing full-course din-ners on an open fire, seemingly like magic. Afterward, sitting around the glowing embers of the fire, came the best part of the trip, at least for me.

If there is a better place to re-connect with your children than on a pack trip by horse-back in the Wyoming wilder-ness, I don’t know it. Without cell phones, television sets or internet video games, you meet them in neutral territory in the stillness of the night, the sky above awash with stars. There are no interruptions, only the sweet sounds of their voices, their whispered laughter. By the end of this trip I had come to appreciate, once again, my

son’s gentle personality and infectious sense of humor, my daughter’s quiet confidence and quick wit. Over the years, I had lost track.

Each day we crossed streams and made our way up the ever-steeper mountain trails, camping at higher and higher altitudes. By the third night, we were at 9,000 feet and I began to experience the occasional shortness of breath that comes with altitude. By then, our horses were our dearest friends, carrying us wherever we asked without a complaint.

I wondered whether they ever felt short of breath or needed a mid-afternoon nap. They didn’t say, they just kept moving forward, and one day they carried us up to a snow-fed lake at 12,000-plus feet, a long, hard climb on a narrow, rock-strewn trail. The horses sweated from exertion; Jim and I sweated from the sheer terror of our proximity to the edge of the cliffs – but in the end, we all made it.

For the next two hours we watched the silver flash of speckled trout as they rose from the crystalline depths of the water to hit the artificial flies we cast on the glassy surface. Then, with the trout packed in snow, we gingerly made our way back down the pencil-thin trail to camp. (Note: go-ing down a steep trail next to a cliff on horseback is every bit

as scary as going up.) On our second day out,

Belarde emerged from his tent shortly after dawn and found himself face to face with an enormous bull moose. Mo-tionless, he stared at the huge animal with the large rack of horns a few feet away. The moose, eyes dark and unblink-ing, stared back for several long minutes, then turned and ambled slowly away. Later that day, as our horses picked their way over tree trunks in a boggy area full of marsh willows, London’s horse sud-denly shied and danced to the right, ears back. “Hey!” she shouted in alarm. Ahead and to the left we saw the three large wolves – black against the lush green foliage – race away and disappear into a thicket. An in-spection on foot revealed the half-eaten carcass of the cow moose they had waylaid a few yards off the trail.

Survival in the Wyoming wilderness can be challenging – both for vacationing old men and the animals that live there. But if you want to experience an unforgettable adventure with your children, whether they are teenage or adult, there is no family trip quite like it.

By luke cronin, clipper intern

While most teenagers would confuse Friedrich Ni-etzsche and Martin Heidegger for players on Germany’s na-tional soccer team, Ellen Sno-eyenbos and her “Bookmarks” have been immersing them-selves in philosophical quan-daries.

Ellen Snoeyenbos is the Young Adult Librarian of the Duxbury Free Library and the Bookmarks are an after school club dedicated to discussing literature. Because most of the Bookmarks are high school-ers, Snoeyenbos has created a philosophy club for middle schoolers, though she stresses the club is open for anyone who is interested. Although philo-sophical conversations don’t typically dominate the water cooler or the playground, Sno-eyenbos has been instrumental in opening the minds of young people.

In recent years, books that could be labeled as “pop” psychology have dominated the best sellers list. Malcolm Gladwell, Stephen Dubner, and Steven Levitt (the lat-

ter two are the authors of the book “Freakonomics”) have become household names. Despite the success of “pop” psychology, “pop” philosophy has not found quite as large of an audience. A few years ago, Ellen read a book called “Socrates Café” by Christo-pher Phillips, where Phillips presents the philosophy of So-crates in a style accessible to the common man. In addition to writing “Socrates Café,” Phillips is the co-founder of the non-profit Society for Philosophical Inquiry and has taught Socrates to people in nursing homes, prisons, and to villagers in Chiapas, Mexico. Snoeyenbos has adopted “So-crates Café” as the discussion style of the Bookmarks. This has fostered healthy, intellec-tual discussions about the big questions in our lives.

Utilizing “Socrates Café” as a blueprint, Snoeyenbos and the Bookmarks have emu-lated the conversations that Socrates had with his pupils (one of whom was Plato). Sno-eyenbos employs the Socratic Method with the Bookmarks.

This means that every facet of a question is analyzed and dis-cussed to find biases, assump-tions, and any subjectivity that may exist within the question.

“We try to ask questions about things relevant to the lives of teenagers” says Sno-eyenbos. Past discussion sub-jects have included the role of violence in society, the mean-ing of friendship, the power of memory, and even free will versus fate. When dealing with sensitive subject mat-ter, Snoeyenbos prefers if the Bookmarks speak in general-ization. For many Bookmarks, the philosophical quandaries that are discussed do not ex-ist solely within the confines of the Duxbury Free Library. Some have researched more complex ideas, such as John Locke’s “Tabula Rasa.” “Ta-bula Rasa” or “Blank Slate,” is a theory that all humans are born as blank slates and that their environment is the ulti-mate sculptor of their person-ality. While the Bookmarks oftentimes will discuss very difficult subjects, Snoeyenbos stresses that these discussions will not be used as a therapy session. Rather, they will be used for the enlightenment and intellectual growth of the Bookmarks. Thanks to the re-sounding success of the Book-marks, Snoeyenbos created a similar program for a younger crowd.

The Middle School Phi-losophy Club has only been in existence for a month and a half, yet they’ve begun conquering some of the big-gest philosophical questions known to man. For example, they discussed “What fright-ens us?”, a straightforward and objective question on the surface. However, Snoeyen-bos’s strategic employment of the Socratic Method produced radically different answers from the students. Snoeyen-bos altered the question and asked the members of the club what they thought the scari-est part of a horror film was. After much deliberation, sixth grader Robey Hines answered, “The music in a horror movie frightens me more than the actual image. If you mute the sound, the actual image can be pretty funny.” By discuss-

ing something as common-place the shrieking screech of a Theremin and its effect on people, Snoeyenbos, the Bookmarks, and the Duxbury Free Library Philosophy Club are continuing an intellectual tradition that include some of the greatest minds in the his-tory of mankind.

Although the achieve-ments of the Middle School Philosophy Club are remark-able, the spiritual predecessor of the club, the Bookmarks, has enjoyed recent successes. “This year was really the year that the Bookmarks solidified and became the group I knew they could be” said Snoeyen-bos. The Bookmarks will be presenting at the American Li-brary Conference in Washing-ton D.C. next week, in addition to two groups from Columbus, Ohio and Maryland.

Record your family historyThe Mass. Memories Road Show is a state-wide digital history project that documents Mas-

sachusetts history through family photographs and stories. In partnership with the Duxbury Ru-ral and Historical Society, the Duxbury Senior Center, and the Duxbury Free Library, the Mass. Memories Road Show has scheduled a public event to scan family photographs and videotape “the stories behind the photos.” The images are indexed and incorporated into a searchable on-line collection at massmemories.net. Since its launch, the project has gathered more than 2.000 photographs and stories from across the state. The Mass. Memories Road Show is an initiative of the Massachusetts Studies Project at UMass Boston and is cosponsored by the Joseph P. Hea-ley Library and Mass Humanities. Over the next few years the Road show will visit all of the 351 communities in the Commonwealth, compiling a digital portrait of family and local history in Massachusetts.

Mass. Memories Road Show is coming to Duxbury on Oct. 23 2010 and we want your family photo and family story included. The photos will be scanned onsite, returned to you and people can tell a brief story about the photos on camera.

It is a free event, open to the public and will be held at the Duxbury Free Library. Registra-tion for the Duxbury stop on the Mass. Memories Road Show will start in September.
