When fam-ily and friends got word that

Michael Morse was headed to the Olympics, one word came to mind.

“Oh, finally,” said Matt Gnoza, Morse’s instructor for 18 years at the Killington Mountain School.

The fate of the Island Creek North project is still up in the air, despite a deadline that came and went Thursday night.

Town officials seem opti-mistic that a deal will still get done, and an extension was recently granted until Feb. 26, according to Zoning Board of Appeals Chairman Dennis Murphy.

“There is room to negoti-ate,” Murphy told his fellow board members on Thursday. However, Murphy feels that to properly discuss the remain-

ing snags between the town and the developer, the public hearing process needs to be reopened. The public hearing originally closed Dec. 3, and the only thing left was for the ZBA to issue a draft compre-hensive permit.

Ed Marchant, a 40B con-sultant working with the ap-plicant Keith Properties, had complained that the excessive review the town was putting his team through was getting expensive and time consum-ing, however, at the December meeting, the remaining issues


In the end, picking the next superintendent will be a deci-sion of the School Committee. But in the meantime, they’re seeking professional help as the search process begins.

The committee inter-viewed three search firms on Wednesday night. They will speak to two more at their next meeting before making a deci-sion.

The firm selected will help guide the town in picking the next superintendent of schools. Current superintendent Susan Skeiber told the board a few weeks ago she would be leav-ing at the end of the school year.

Richard Warren and Albert Vasquez of Future Manage-ment Systems, Inc. told the board that they specialized in “leadership development” and said his group had a “unique style.”

“We have a unique oppor-tunity to find emerging lead-ers, I think that’s one of our strengths,” said Warren. He said that his firm handled each search individually, and that they didn’t “recycle” candi-dates.

Warren also stressed that

Island Creek talks stall

By susanna sheehan, Clipper staff [email protected]

Selectman Chris Donato believes the town should be investigated by the attorney general’s office for how it awarded the North Hill golf course contract in late 2008.

Donato said Monday that he began to look into this is-sue after Doug Johnson of Johnson Turf and Golf, the current manager of the public 9-hole golf course on Merry Ave., dropped off a packet of information last week related to his lawsuit against the town.

Johnson, who managed the course for ten years, has sued the town after losing the man-agement contract to Calm Golf of Rockland. Johnson’s law-suit claims that Calm Golf is unqualified and that the town conspired against him.

In October of 2009, the town sent out a request for bids for a five-year contract to run North Hill. The course is publicly owned but the day-to-day operations are contracted out to a management compa-

Four concerned Duxbury women met with the selectmen this week about the legalities of political signs.

On Monday, Mary Jane Noel, Pat Garrity, Nancy Landgren and Mary Lynn Car-son told selectmen various stories of how their signs had been stolen from or ripped out of their front lawns, and how they were told by both town employees and the police de-partment that political signs were illegal in Duxbury.

Political signs are not il-legal in Duxbury. They are considered protected speech under the First Amendment to the Constitution, and they can-not be taken from front lawns by town employees, the police or private citizens, town offi-cials said this week.

“There is a question about whether or not the town allows political signs,” said Mary Jane Noel of Trout Farm Lane. “We’ve gotten conflicting an-swers from town officials and sometimes from town employ-ees. We believe all people should have the right to sup-port a candidate with a sign on their property.”

According to town bylaws on sign regulations, politi-cal signs may be erected and they are considered temporary signs. No political signs are al-lowed on town property unless selectmen grant permission.

Town counsel Robert Troy said the signs were allowed and protected by the First Amendment, which ensures the constitutional right to free speech.

Mary Lynn Carson of Washington Street said in this past election a political sign she had on her front lawn was taken during the night and that the police department told her that it was probably the police who took it down because it was not allowed.

Carson said that later that day, Lieutenant Lewis Chubb called to tell her that the offi-cer was incorrect and that po-litical signs are allowed.

In response to the women’s presentation, Town Manager Richard MacDonald said he would communicate to town employees that political signs were legal in Duxbury.

Selectmen voted “to go on record stating that Duxbury is a community where individu-als are entitled to exercise their

right to free speech by dis-playing signs advertising their chosen candidates or cause on their private property in accor-dance with Duxbury bylaws.”

John Bear of Old Mill Lane said he doesn’t believe politi-cal signs should be allowed in Duxbury.

“It’s an eyesore,” Bear said. “I and a lot of others don’t believe we should allow political signs. It’s easy to take this discussion and turn it into a headline that says political signs are OK.

“I hope that the wheels don’t come off the bus and that Duxbury can maintain its cul-tural preference for not having political signs,” Bear added.

Selectman Chris Donato said he felt Duxbury residents were mature enough to not be “obnoxious” with their dis-plays of political signs.

“I think we’re developed and respectful enough to work with this,” said Donato.

“We decided to support the Constitution tonight, but hopefully that doesn’t mean that good taste sinks,” said Se-lectmen Chairman Betsy Sul-livan.

it would be the School Com-mittee making the final deci-sion, and Future Management Systems would just be there to help.

“We emphasize it is your search ... we will provide the added value,” he said.

Future Management Sys-tems, based in Beverly, has been in business for 30 years. Warren said that the search could be done “comfortably” in four months, but could be compressed to about three.

“I say time is really of the essence. Competition is great, the pool of candidates is not necessarily deep,” Warren said.

He said his firm would help compile a list of candidates, and could work with focus groups from the community to get input on the search.

Jacqueline Roy of J. A. Roy Associates, said she has been in the business of su-perintendent searches for 25 years.

“This is really my niche,” she said. Based on the Cape, she has worked all over the Eastern seaboard.

“I get a lot of pleasure working with school districts and trying to find the best pos-sible matches,” she said.

Like the other presenters, she said the pool of potential candidates was shallow and the district was best suited by moving quickly.

“There is still quality out there and some candidates to get excited about ... although probably far fewer than we would like,” she said.

School Committee mem-ber Anne Ward asked Roy if she had a staff –– Roy said it’s basically just her. However, she said she does have a net-work of colleagues around the country.

Roy said Duxbury should be a place superintendent can-didates want to work,

“Where it’s located, the size of the district ... it’s a rela-tively healthy organization. I don’t know any major issue

you have at the moment,” she said. “I think it should be a very attractive situation for a lot of people.”

The evening’s final pre-senters were from the Cape Cod Collaborative. This is a large group, of which the ex-ecutive search firm is a part.

“You would not be con-tracting with an individual but with a team,” said Paul Hil-ton.

With Hilton was Michael Gradone, a former superin-tendent in Nauset who would be leading the search for Dux-bury’s next superintendent.

“I think if you speak to people down on Cape Cod they’ll agree I have a good track record assessing the needs of a given situation and targeting the person whose skill set ... rise about the level of a resume,” said Gradone.

They also said they would be aggressive about seeking out candidates that would be a good fit for Duxbury.

“We will be on the phone to them as soon as a contract is signed,” said Hilton. “This is about recruitment, it’s not

simply about opening the en-velopes.”

Cape Cod Collaborative also has a partnership with the Massachusetts Associa-tion of School Committees, a group that was involved in the last Duxbury superintendent search. Hilton said that he didn’t see the two groups be-ing in competition.

He said, like the other pre-senters, that community input was essential.

“We want to get to know Duxbury a lot better over the next 6-8 weeks in order for us to bring forward people you will consider strong candidates to be the next superintendent of Duxbury,” he said.

After the presentation, School Committee members talked a bit about how the search committee would be formed, and how public fo-rums would be run. All seemed to be in agreement, however, that the search firm should be picked first.

“I felt like we couldn’t go wrong with any of those,” said George Cipolletti.

Paul Hilton and Michael Gradone of the Cape Cod Collaborative addressed to the School Committee on Wednesday. Three groups vied for a chance to lead the search process for a new school super-intendent.

ny. Prior to that, Johnson had run the course for 10 years.

Upon opening the bids, Town Manager Richard Mac-Donald decided a procedure wasn’t followed the first time around and sent out bids again. Johnson sued to block the re-bidding process, but it was allowed by a judge. When the contract was eventually awarded to Calm, Johnson sued again, this time obtain-ing a successful year-long in-junction in Middlesex County court that allowed him to re-main in control of North Hill for the 2009 golf season under the terms of his last contract.

During the selectmen’s meeting Monday night, resi-dent Steve Peterson asked selectmen about Johnson’s lawsuit, saying he had heard the town had been sued and wanted to know about it.

Donato read from John-son’s legal materials, which stated that in February 2009, a judge ruled that Calm Golf was unqualified because it had submitted financial statements that were not audited, that it did not carry pesticide insur-ance and that it did not own its own equipment. Therefore, said Donato, the awarding of the bid should be independent-ly investigated for “procure-ment fraud.”

“Based on what I’ve read, an independent third party

should take a look at this,” said Donato. “We should refer this to the Attorney General.”

Calm Golf is a relatively new company, but its princi-pals are Charles Lanzetta and Anthony Morosco, who have over 80 years combined ex-perience running golf cours-es. They previously ran the Strawberry Valley course in Abington. MacDonald did not comment on the matter Mon-day but has said in the past that he awarded the bid to Calm because they offered the town the most money out of the two qualified candidates (Calm and Johnson.)

Both Selectmen Chairman Betsy Sullivan and Selectman Jon Witten said they would not discuss this topic in an open session because it was about a pending lawsuit involving the town. The matter was better suited for a closed-door ses-sion, they said.

Sullivan said she was surprised that Donato would bring up this information at the open forum of the select-men’s meeting.

“Our town counsel is in the court working through this and I can’t believe you would try to circumvent the process in this way,” said Sullivan.

Witten said he would “not have this conversation” in or-der to protect the town’s bar-gaining position.

“This is one of the few times we get to have an execu-

tive session,” said Witten.Donato felt they could dis-

cuss it in open session since the court had issued a deci-sion, which is considered pub-lic record.

However, Witten said any-

thing selectmen wanted to say about a pending lawsuit against the town should be said in a closed-door session.

“Our deliberations are [to be done] in executive ses-sion,” he said. “It is worthy of a discussion with [town coun-sel Robert] Troy in executive session.”

“I don’t feel we should be doing this,” Sullivan told Do-nato. “This is not on this eve-ning’s agenda, and it is not go-ing to be debated right now.”

According to court docu-ments, Johnson Turf and Golf Management has sued five other towns over similar golf course contract disputes.

“Gifted Hands: The Ben Carson Story,” will be shown at The Ford Center of Miramar Retreat Center this coming Valentine’s Day Sunday, Feb. 14 at 10 a.m. Though Valen-tine’s Day is typically associ-ated with couples and roman-tic love, Journey Community of Faith think it’s a great oc-casion to focus on the love of God.

Gifted Hands is the story of a true heroine, Sonya Car-son, a divorced single mother with a third-grade education who raised her two boys in the slums of Detroit, juggling numerous jobs to keep a roof over their heads. Because she couldn’t read, Sonya could not help her boys with their home-work but her emphasis on both faith and education gave them the best possible hope for avoiding the pitfalls of poverty and restless adolescence.

One of her sons, Bennie, faced the taunts and ridicule of others in school where he felt he was hopelessly dumb and also dealt with a volcanic tem-

per that could have easily ru-ined his life. With his mother’s faith and raw courage, Bennie overcame numerous obsta-cles to eventually become the world-renowned pediatric neu-rosurgeon, Dr. Ben Carson.

Best known for his medi-cally innovative separating of Siamese twins joined at the head with a 50-member sur-gical team during a 28-hour operation in 1997, Dr. Carson performs over 300 operations on children each year on staff at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore. He also crisscross-es the planet to share his heart, “gifted hands” and medical expertise with folks in devel-oping countries who cannot af-ford his services.

Licensed to show this 90-minute movie publicly, the community is welcome and inspiring discussion is sure to follow. Great for the whole family but nursery care is not provided. For more infor-mation, contact Rev. David Woods at 781-585-8295.

“It’s really nice to see all the hard work and dedication pay off.”

Morse, a Duxbury na-tive started at the Killington School in seventh grade with a focus on mogul skiing, and graduated from there in 1999. He was the 2008 National Champion in moguls and dual moguls.

On Tuesday, Jan. 26, Morse was named to the 2010 Olympic Freestyle Ski Team. Morse finished in fifth place at the 2010 Lake Placid FIS World Cup event in Lake Placid Jan. 21.

“I was just absolutely over joyed,” said Morse’s moth-er Sheila, about hearing the news. “I was just so thrilled to see all his efforts and dedica-tion all come together ... it’s a dream come true.”

Gnoza said the announce-ment was especially sweet for his former pupil because four years ago, he missed mak-ing the Olympic team by one spot.

“He was always a hard worker,” said Gnoza. “He was a real student of the game and always worked hard to make improvements. He has a natu-ral touch on the ski slope.”

Sheila Morse said Mi-

chael has been struggling with injuries over the past several years, so making the team means a lot.

“He missed the last Olym-pics by .005 of a point . It just made him that much more de-termined. He stuck with his plan.”

She said Michael wasn’t one of those young skiers who’s dreamed of the Olym-pics since his first wedge turn. Instead, he tried to do his best wherever he found himself.

“I think it was one step at a time,” she said. “His goal was to do well at the level he was at. Each level he got to made him hungry to get to the next level.”

“I felt surprisingly calm in Lake Placid,” said Morse in a statement released by Kil-lington. “I really enjoy com-peting in Placid and felt quite confident in my skiing on that course. I believe that part of being an athlete is all about how you perform under pres-sure. I am glad this worked out the way it did.”

Gnoza said mogul skiing requires all the basic knowl-edge of downhill skiing plus additional agility to navi-gate the hardened mounds of snow.

“There’s a little more of

an acrobatic touch required,” he said.

Gnoza also said he has high hopes for Morse in the Olympics.

“I think going in on a pa-

per, he’s the US’s number one hope,” he said. “This season on the World Cup tour he’s been progressively improv-ing ... climbing that ladder on the World Cup level. He’s got good potential to be peaking at the right time.”

The moguls team will conduct a final pre-Olympic training camp in Steamboat Springs, Colo. this week while the aerials team is training in Park City, according to U.S. Ski. The Olympics will open with women’s moguls in Van-couver Saturday, Feb. 13.

“We’ll all be watching him and cheering him on,” said Gnoza.

Morse’s parents are plan-ning on heading up to Canada for the opening ceremonies, and to see their son race in person.

“I don think there can be anything more wonderful than seeing your son walk in rep-resenting his country,” said Sheila Morse.

Magic in cookbooksBy miCelle Conway, Clipper Columnist

[email protected]

Cookbook collections are more than just an assembly of recipes and pretty pictures; they are gold mines full of history and culture. Food historians and

anthropologists comb through cookbooks for clues examining the techniques, tools and ingredients to learn more about a time and place in history.

Sometimes a title or ingredient can feel shocking, but put into context of the date the book was published, a new perspective is gained. Take “A Date with a Dish; A Cookbook of Negro Recipes” by Freda De Knight. The title stuns 21st

century sensibilities as the word Negro is now considered offensive. But in 1948, when the book was published, Negro was an acceptable word. Ms. De Knight was the Food and Home Service Editor for Ebony Magazine and led the way in promoting a previously overlooked cuisine with her first edition of a book that is most entertaining and informative.

“A Date with a Dish” was the first of its kind to “contain recipes, menus and cooking hints from and by Negros from all over America.” She compiled this book years before the Civil Rights Amendment passed. Taken in its historical context, this simple volume of recipes and anecdotes is a remarkable achievement. A black woman published a cookbook of black recipes and received enough interest and critical acclaim to warrant a reprint three decades later.

She opens with “there is magic in a cookbook” and her recipes and introductions, touched by her lyrical wand, reveal family traditions, delectable personalities and a view into a time gone by.

Ms. De Knight traveled the country culling recipes from her friends, family and cooks she met along the way. Her goal was to honor and illuminate African American cooking beyond the stereotyped ingredients and recipes, and she succeeded. She brought the same amount of respect for starlet/singer Lena Horne’s recipe for East Indian Chicken as she does to Mrs. Cora Perrin’s recipe for Jellied Pineapple Salad. Ms. De Knight has “seen soup made from costly delicacies and it was scrumptious and seen soup made from leftovers by the poor and it was breathtakingly good. Whether it is served in a palace or a shack it is good for us. So let’s try it!”

The book is peppered with the stories of the cooks she met in her travels. She writes of the southern plantation cook, the high-end renowned Philadelphia caterer and the one hundred year old woman teaching canning techniques in the mid west. “A Date with a Dish” exposes the reader to recipes as esoteric as Lobster Newburg and as pedestrian as Scrapple; it is a book full of recipes, history and love. In her own words: “A cook book can teach you everything you need to know if you take the time to read it as you would your favorite story.”

efits of social networking and blogging. This is an excellent opportunity to find out how they promote their work and also how the Painting a Day Movement exposes them to a wide audience.

Louise Kelley (Pape) Rochester, 84, of Dux-bury, died at home on the morning of Saturday, Jan. 30. surrounded by family.

She was born the youngest of four daugh-ters to Herbert W. Kelley and Frances Coburn Kel-ley of Winchester.

Rochester attended Winsor Day School in

Boston, commuting into the city by herself every day. She spent a year at Smith College before transferring to Colby College, where she graduated in 1946. The family summered in Duxbury starting in the 1920s and moved to town permanently in 1955.

She was married to Eric W. Pape in 1947 and the couple raised six children, living ini-tially in Marion and Southington prior to mov-ing back to Duxbury in 1960.

She taught fourth and fifth grades in Dux-bury Middle School for 26 years.

Louise married the late Nathaniel Roches-

ter in 1973. After her parents died, the couple moved to the Kelley family house in Duxbury.

Rochester enjoyed sailing, bird watching, and traveling the globe. Louise loved playing bridge and enjoyed a game with three close friends the day before she died. She won.

She leaves her six children and their spouses: Heidi Pape Laird of Duxbury, Eric K. Pape and his wife Betsy Howes of Waban, Louise Pape Schwartz and her husband David of Madison, Wis., Mark B. Pape and his wife Diana Kirshen Pape of Chevy Chase, Md. Paul C. Pape and his wife Vivian Calobrisi of Stanstead, Quebec, and Andrea J. Pape and her husband Barry Truitt of Hartford; 10 grandchildren, three step-children, numerous step-grandchildren and step-great-grandchildren as well as many nieces and neph-ews.

There will be a memorial celebration of Louise’s life June 12, 2010 at her home.

In lieu of flowers contributions may be made to Mass Audubon, 208 South Great Road, Lincoln, MA 01773 or Cranberry Hospice, 36 Cordage Park Circle, Suite 326, Plymouth, MA 02360.

The Feb. 3 meeting of the Duxbury Camera Club will feature two Duxbury pho-tographers, Kathy Dixon and Joan Collins, who will illustrate their travel photography philosophy and techniques. Although each has extensive experience with travel pho-tography, their presentations will show how approaches to the subject can vary. This pro-gram is intended to inspire those who may be planning vacations and also to show that one does not need to be an expert to make memorable pictures. Both Kathy and Joan have won many photographic awards.

In lieu of a critique, members who wish to participate are asked to bring one matted or mounted photograph, taken while travel-ing, and be prepared to spend one minute ex-plaining what they saw that motivated them to take the picture. Those who stay close to home may also participate by becoming a “tourist” nearby, shooting with a fresh out-look and a traveler’s eye.

Camera Club meets the first Wednesday of each month, from 7-9:30 p.m. in the Merry Room of the Duxbury Free Library. Guests are always welcome at the regular meet-ings. With a mission to give photographers of all lev-els an opportunity to grow and learn about their craft, the Club is now sponsoring workshops and photo walks, which are open to members only. The next member’s workshop is called “Getting

off P” and will be presented by photographer Glenn Pollock. This workshop is scheduled for Feb. 6 in the Library’s Setter Room and is geared to all beginner photographers as well as those who are reluctant to move off the automatic camera setting.

For more information on the Club, e-mail [email protected] or drop in at the February meeting.

The Duxbury Rural and Historical Society will host a showing of their recently produced short documentary, “In the Days of King Caesar: The Weston Estate on Powder Point.” The documentary was produced last summer in coor-dination with the bicentennial celebration of the King Caesar House. The video features a computer generated simulation of the houses and industrial buildings belonging to “King Caesar,” (or Ezra Weston II) Duxbury’s legendary shipbuilder, as they appeared in the early 19th century. Included in the simu-lation are the King Caesar House, the 1,000-foot Weston rope-walk, King Caesar’s wharf, now known as Bumpus Park, and other historic structures.

The documentary was produced by graphic animator Bryan Felty and written by Patrick Browne. After the showing, Felty and Browne will discuss the making of the video. The original, 19th century plans and architectural drawings on which the ani-mation was based will be on display.

The event will take place on Feb. 18, at 7 p.m. at the Drew Archival Library in the Wright Building, 147 St. George St. Refreshments will be served. There is no charge for the event. Those with questions may call the society at 781-934-6106.

did not seem insurmountable. The project has undergone sev-eral revisions since its original proposal, including the elimi-nation of most of the proposed commercial space and striking the condominium buildings (the project is now all rental units.) The developer also compromised on the height of some of the buildings –– al-though the number of units, 238, has not changed. There will be an assisted living facil-ity located on the property.

Some of Murphy’s fellow board members, however, felt the issue had dragged on long enough.

“Why don’t we just put together the best package, we vote on it and that’s it kids?” said Gene Orosz last week. “I feel like the fox is chasing the dogs –– who is in control here?”

Murphy said that he felt the issues the applicant is pushing back on deserve to be vetted in a public hearing.

“These guys are willing to re-engage in good faith, we should be willing to do the same,” he said. At the same time, he warned that the board should keep their eyes open.

“They finally realized they’re not going to steam roll,” he said. “We should vote the permit we feel is workable, protects the towns interest and not caveing on the things we really care about.”

Orosz was also concerned that the development team sent the draft permit to the state housing board without the ZBA’s knowledge. He said he was fearful the state would be used as a “brickbat” against the town.

“I feel like we’re going

into enemy territory lightly ar-mored and with small caliber arms,” he said.

The public hearing for Is-land Creek North will be re-opened on Thursday, Feb. 25.

The ZBA also heard sev-eral other cases on Thursday night.

The homeowners at 34 Friendship Lane want to de-molish and rebuild their exist-ing two-story home. At issue is the home’s current non-conforming status with local zoning regulations. The rep-resentative for the homeowner said he should be able to do the new construction, but ZBA members as well as other town officials disagreed.

“It’s a complete tear-down, the new construction needs to be brought into conformity,” said Amy MacNab of the Plan-ning Board.

“There seems to be the opinion of homeowners, de-velopers that a non-conformity that has established a confor-mity unto itself,” said Orosz. “There is nothing that supports that aspect.”

The hearing was continued until March 11.

The board also heard a pitch to reconstruct a pier at 2 King Caesar Road.

A design team presented a cost analysis on behalf of the homeowners, saying the cost of rebuilding the pier would be almost as much as replac-ing it.

The board and the appli-

cant’s team went back and forth over the type of license under which the pier was orig-inally built, and the height of the structure. Murphy wanted some background informa-tion on any other piers built under an “amnesty license,” and whether the town build-ing inspector would require a handrail. That hearing was also continued until March 11.

The third hearing dealt with a house at 40 Alden Street that is the property of a religious group called the Eloists. The group wants to demolish an existing sun room and add an addition, but there is a question if the organiza-tion’s tax-exempt status means they are also exempt from lo-cal zoning.

Thir-ty-four three-person teams competed in a variety of age categories called hives, and stunned the crowd with their spelling prowess. The spectac-ular setting complete with fab-ulous costumes, hive lighting, and lots of black and yellow, set the stage for participants to challenge themselves and each other with words like senator, serendipitous and mnemonic.

This week, selectmen en-dorsed spending $190,000 in Community Preservation Act funds on three historical pres-ervation projects and $150,000 for affordable housing. All four will be articles on the 2010 an-nual Town Meeting warrant on March 13.

Two of the historical proj-ects are grants to private non-profit groups to restore their historical landmarks.

The First Parish Church on Tremont Street has applied for $50,000 in CPA funds to restore the ten enormous double hung 36-over-36 pane windows that line the church’s sanctuary. The windows measure 8 feet wide by 14 feet high. The total cost of the project is $106,000. The church is raising the other $56,000.

Built in 1840 by Duxbury shipwrights, the First Parish Church is listed in the National Register of Historic Places.

Doug Friesen of the First Parish Church said the win-dows need help but can still be saved. Most have much of their original or early glass with its irregularities, but the wooden sills, sashes, frames and muntins all show wear and deterioration, and they won’t operate, he said.

“They are deteriorated to the point where restoration still makes sense,” Friesen said.

To fully restore each win-dow, the sash must be removed from the opening and each individual pane of glass will be taken out. The window is then stripped to the bare wood, which is treated, primed and repainted. The glass is put back and reglazed on the inside and outside. The result is that the windows will be restored to their original condition.

Duxbury Historical Com-mission chairwoman Barbara Kiley said the Commission supports this project, but she asked selectmen what assur-ances the town would have to make sure the historical restoration of these windows was done properly. She said

the Commission was unhappy with the work being done on the steeple of the First Parish Church, as the original col-umns have been removed for the installation of wireless communications antennas.

“It is a project of histori-cal restoration,” said Kiley. “Is there any vehicle to oversee the materials being used? Do we as a town have any over-sight to ensure it’s done prop-erly?”

Town Manager Richard MacDonald said the authentic-ity of the project was up to the church.

Friesen said the church’s contractor, Mason B. Cook of Westmill Preservation Servic-es of Halifax “is very steeped in history,” and his company restored the windows in the Old North Church in Boston. Friesen offered to allow an inspection by the Historical Commission.

Community Preservation Committee Chairman Holly Morris said the church is eli-gible for CPA funds because it serves the public as a place for the annual Memorial Day services and for the Duxbury High School baccalaureate ceremony. Also, the church will give a preservation re-striction to the town in ex-change for the money. At least two dozen church-related proj-ects around the state have been funded through the CPA, said Friesen.

Selectman Jon Witten agreed that the CPA money could legally be used to help the First Parish Church because of its “unique relationship” in serving the town throughout the years. However, he said: “I don’t think we could support other CPC requests from other churches in the future.”

The other CPA funding re-quest for a building on private property comes from Cross-roads for Kids to begin the restoration of the 1870 Isaac Keene barn at Camp Wing on Keene Street.

This Town Meeting article seeks $85,000 to perform an engineering and architectural

evaluation of the barn and complete initial foundation work for structural integrity. The foundation repairs are es-timated to cost $50,000. The overall estimate for restoring the entire exterior of the barn is $184,000.

Crossroads for Kids plans to raise the funds to make up the difference.

Ultimately, the interior will be remade into a multipurpose space, said Deb Samuels of Crossroads for Kids.

The barn is eligible for CPA funds because Camp Wing serves a public purpose. It is celebrating its 75th anni-versary as a camp for both lo-cal youth and at-risk children from Boston.

Selectmen didn’t comment on this article but voted unani-mously to support it. The Dux-bury Historical Commission also supports this project.

The final historical-related project involves the final phase of the Historical Commission’s inventory of historical proper-ties in Duxbury. Work on this inventory began in 2001 and has continued in recent years supported by CPA funds. In 2008, town meeting approved $6,000 to continue the survey and in 2009, voters supported $9,000 for 30 sites including cemeteries and landscapes.

This Town Meeting ar-ticle seeks $55,000 to fin-ish the inventory, which will take three years. It will cover 47 dateboarded but not offi-cially inventoried structures, 49 barns and outbuildings and

86 properties within the Old Shipbuilder’s district that have never been properly invento-ried, said Norman Tucker of the Duxbury Historical Com-mission.

The inventory of historical places in Duxbury is sent to the Massachusetts Historical Commission and will eventu-ally be available online. It is currently available on CD and in paper form. The purpose of the inventory is to document all the historical buildings, landscapes, and structures in an easily accessible list.

Selectmen supported this article and they also endorsed a plan to spend $150,000 to turn the old Grange building

on Franklin Street into afford-able housing as well as build another affordable home on the same site.

Seeking a super super

This week, the School Committee will pick a professional search firm to help the committee hire Duxbury’s next school superintendent, replacing

the outgoing Susan Skeiber. It’s a complicated process, despite the compressed timeline, and the district has a lot of work to do before the next superintendent is named.

However, it appears someone has jumped the gun, because we found this ad on Craigslist:

“Beautiful seaside community seeks interested, committed person to lead the Duxbury School System for the foreseeable future. Looking for a long term commitment, but we’re still trying to get over a bad relationship in the not-too-distant past. Must love children –– you’re about to have 400 of them.

We’re looking for someone who shares our priorities and values. Intelligence and smarts are the most important thing, but being well-rounded is important too. You’ve got to be willing to look at the whole person. Test performance is the big one, but you’ve got to be willing to take the kids to violin lessons, swimming practice and drive them to their Spanish tutor. Oh, and you’ve got to know how to manage a household budget. We don’t have as much to spend as those fancy towns around us, and up on the North Shore, but we want a lot of the same things. What can we say, we know what we want out of a relationship. We like to be told that we’re special.

An even temperament is a must. In our town family, we have a lot of –– well, let’s just say interesting characters. There are a lot of strong personalities, and you’ve got to be able to fit in, and lead us, without getting lost. Conflict management skills are a plus.

There’s one more important thing, and we’re not sure how to bring this up delicately ... We won’t be the only ones in this relationship. There are five people who are intertwined with everything we do. They offer us guidance and support, and aren’t afraid to voice their concerns. They don’t always agree on everything, and things can get tense. But they’re all good people who, in the end, just want what’s best for us.

So if you think you fit this bill, drop us a line. We’re hoping you’ll be the perfect partner for us.”

–– J. Graeber I read your article “Beach shack gets liquor li-cense” with interest,

but was surprised to learn that the Gurnet Road neighborhood was considered a “resort area.” While that might explain the

high taxes, outrageous water bills, and the restricted access to the Powder Point Bridge, it in no way accounts for our weather in winter.

Next month, when I will have to make a 14-mile round

trip in order to buy a town trash bag, I can console myself by remembering that we live in a resort area.

Middle school achievement in math on state-

wide tests has been a challenge for educators nationwide. The US Chamber of Commerce, reviewing state testing stan-dards to achieve No Child Left Behind rankings, has rated Massachusetts as having the highest levels of performance to meet NCLB requirements. Massachusetts’ middle school grades have the highest thresh-

old scores, compared with high schools and elementary schools, to attain each of the NCLB rat-ings. Duxbury eighth graders are at the top of this chart!

The community should note that 73 percent of DMS stu-dents have attained advanced/proficient level of achievement. The average Competency Per-formance Index for this grade is 89.5 (out of 100), higher than Wellesley, Westwood, Norwell, and Wayland. This same group

is showing good growth com-pared with similarly high per-forming eighth grade students across the Commonwealth. This data is listed on the Department of Elementary and Secondary Schools Web page.

These results are the hard and thoughtful work of the leadership and teachers of the Duxbury Public Schools. An-other well kept secret!

On behalf of our son 2nd Lieutenant Sean B. Sullivan

of the USMC we would like to thank Duxbury Youth Lacrosse for thinking of Sean while he is Afghanistan. He will surely ap-preciate the box that you sent him with copies of the Clip-per, a signed Duxbury Youth Lacrosse shirt, candy and your overall thoughtfulness. Sean played lacrosse from the time he first saw Coach “Q” with a stick until he graduated from the University of Maryland. Sean was on the first Duxbury High School team to win the Division 1 State Champion-ship in 2002. In fact, when he got off of the military transport plane in Afghanistan he had his rifle and his lacrosse stick (he could only take a short stick). A special thanks to Coach “Q”, Mike Connelly, Kim Narling, and Laura Hurvitz for think-ing of Sean and putting the care package together.

Fifteen years ago: Feb. 1, 1995

The Isabelle Freeman house on Depot Street was de-molished in accordance

with the requests of her will. Free-man was a Duxbury Town Accoun-tant from 1945-1966 and also served in the Assessor’s and Board of Ap-peals offices prior to her death in 1990. She left her house and her property to the town of Duxbury re-questing her property be made a bird sanctuary. In the event the house needed major repairs, the Town could dispose of it, and use the in-come from the sale of the property to fund an ambulance for Duxbury.

Serving two terms on the Duxbury School Committee, half that time as chairman, has provided a unique per-

spective into the dynamics, politics and finances that interact in molding the school district. I’d

like to share some in-sight into my six years as a School Commit-tee member so that in-formed citizens can be better prepared to cast their ballots in March. I believe this is a criti-cal town election.

The atmosphere in Duxbury in early 2004 between the school system and the towns-people was still recov-

ering from the highly divisive and controversial “zero tolerance” policy that had been enforced by the District. I mention this because from the time that Mrs. Wong and I were elected, there was a strong feeling of distrust between at least some members of the School Committee and the administration. That atmosphere has cre-ated a cloud over the district ever since, and has influenced much of the behavior evident in our popular public access “reality” TV show. The inability of the School Committee to rebuild trust between the district and the electorate has hurt the schools and is our biggest failure. This must be corrected or we will find ourselves un-able to attract quality educators.

The issues that we have addressed during my two terms have been substantial. Spanish instruction is in place from first through twelfth grade. We added vigor to our academic require-ments for graduation. We have replaced “Home Economics” with technology education in DMS. Our elementary Math and Reading programs have been completely restructured. We started a “High End Learner Program” at Alden School. Teacher supervision has been enhanced and in-structional coaches have been implemented to improve teaching effectiveness. We have taken a disciplined approach to budgeting. We altered our schedule to better align with the biologic patterns of teenagers. We successfully imple-mented a completely new database system (X2) which handles everything from scheduling to transcripts. Interestingly, most of these advanc-

es were to some extent controversial, yet I’m sure that most parents and students would be appalled if we were to revert to the way things used to be.

All of this, and more, was done in an era of modest budget growth and limited funds. We have been resolute in maintaining the education of the whole child, so having strong athletic, music and fine and performing arts has always been a priority. We’ve had to significantly in-crease user fees to allow this, but I am con-vinced that we must continue to support these programs. Unfortunately, we have taken all of the non-essential items out of our budget. We have survived the last few years by replacing retiring teachers with less expensive younger folks, but the opportunity to continue this is limited. We are no longer replacing textbooks or computers when we should be; I’m concerned that soon we will not be able to replace teachers when they retire.

I am disappointed that we didn’t do more to find creative solutions to educating our kids. I believe technology should play a greater role and may be able to allow more individualized instruction. The School Committee needs to foster a supportive environment that enables good administrators to be comfortable in tak-ing chances and being creative, or else we will be stuck with the status quo. Unfortunately, we have spent countless hours bickering over details that do not belong on the School Com-mittee agenda and have often been intrusive in the day to day decisions of the district when we should have been thinking strategically. This behavior recently cost us a very good superin-tendant in Mrs. Skeiber and threatens to inhibit the hiring of a new administration.

The School Committee’s job is to temper the perceived wishes of the public with the imple-mentation of sound policies. There has always been at least one group of unhappy parents at every meeting we have held. All of these voices have been heard, but not all have resulted in change. The fact is that you can never know the will of the people until you are re-elected or voted out – and even then you only know about the small percentage of the population that ac-tually votes.

Mr. Cipolletti is the Chairman of the School Committee. He is not seeking re-election this spring.

My husband and I have long though that the obvious solution has been overlooked.

Sell those blue bags at the one place the used ones get deposited –– the transfer station. Is there a more central location?

Wrong way ticket

By John Britten

President Obama was in Tampa last week to an-nounce a $1.24-billion-dollar plan to build a high-speed train service from there to Orlando.

I find it comforting to know that my government is on top of America’s needs. Who knew that there was a need for a 100-mile-an-hour train from Tampa to Orlando? If

you had asked me a month ago, for example, where I thought there was a need for a $1.24 billion-dollar high-speed train route, I would have said something like, oh, I don’t know,

maybe from Boston to New York, or maybe New York to D.C. Which of course shows you why I’m not running this country.

But, at the risk of sounding like a forty-firster, I have some questions. According to my Google map, it is only 91 miles from Tampa to Orlando and the trip takes 1 hour and 29 minutes by car. I have to wonder just how fast does the President think people in Tampa need to get to Disney World? It takes that long just to get across Tampa some days.

Maybe the President is concerned about Tampa resi-dents that may have to commute daily to work in Orlando? Well, If the projected speed of that train is only 100 miles per hour, you had better be living in the Tampa train sta-tion and hope your job in Orlando is across the street from that station depot. I have a better idea..why not just give everyone in Tampa money to buy a house in Orlando? Thanks to Barney Frank, you can buy any house in Florida right now for about $89. I figure you can relocate the entire population of Tampa to Orlando for no more than sixty-five-grand. Throw in another three-grand for new shuffleboard courts and half the people won’t even notice the difference.

But, the President’s plan doesn’t just stop in Orlando. Once finished with the critical Tampa-Orlando link, he plans to run another high-speed rail line from Orlando down to Miami. There is just one problem with that idea. People in Orlando don’t go to Miami. Sean Penn goes to Miami. People from New York go to Miami. People from New Jersey go to Miami, together with people from Germany and Russia, Brazil, Ecuador, Chile, Bolivia and Japan. They all go to Miami. But, people from Orlando don’t go to Miami and they won’t in the future. And, why should they? They already had Disney World, Universal Studios, Sea World and the Motorcycle Hall of Fame. Now throw in all those new homebuyers from Tampa and a bunch of new shuffleboard courts and Orlando folks aren’t going anywhere. Well, maybe to The Villages, but it has shuttle buses.

I realize that my idea for saving a billion or so dollars doesn’t mean much to someone unused to dealing in such small numbers, Mr. President, but, if you’re really look-ing for a transportation project that will resonate with the American public have you thought about a pick-up truck?

I slipped into the Duxbury High School alumni Web site, following the link

from the DHS site that took me to myschoolreunited.com. The site is fairly quiet, but there seems to be a slowly growing number of alumni starting to sign up. I joined as a former faculty member. It’s a stretch, but I did “sub” at DHS a few years ago, and the site gave me no other options.

Meanwhile, I’ve become

increasingly connected in the past year through my own high school Web site and a Facebook page run by a former schoolmate. Through this and other Internet means, I’ve begun a long process of reconnecting with people

long in my past – my best friends in elementary school and high school, as well as my three-year roommate in college. For a curmudgeon like me, the process is taking a while, but there’s no stopping it now. One of my nicknames in college was “Loner.” At least that’s what I think they were saying. The other was “Herc,” short for Hercules, dubbed when I was utterly unable to open a dorm room window. I still swear it was secretly latched.

WINTER SPECIAL

Dragons qualify for tournamentTake on Scituate Wednesday night in Duxbury

By mike Halloran, sports editor [email protected]

The Duxbury boys’ basket-ball team made Senior Night a special occasion, as it quali-fied for postseason play with a 70-52 Patriot League win over Pembroke on Friday night in Duxbury.

Coach Gordon Cushing started five seldom-used se-niors, and they performed ad-mirably, as they raced to a 7-0 lead on the strength of Steve Blout’s five points and a basket by Tom Kazanowski.

The usual starters entered the game with 3:30 to go in the first quarter and ended the first eight minutes with a six-point lead at 13-7.

Senior Brian Grossman started the second quarter with a three-pointer, but was matched by Pembroke’s Justin Ryan. Senior captain Matt Ne-gus followed with a basket and the Titans were suddenly down by just four at 16-12.

A 9-6 run by Pembroke got them back in the game at 22-21, forcing Cushing to call a timeout with 4:34 left in the half to get his troops back on track.

The break in the action seemed to do the trick, as se-nior Mike Sullivan went on a tear, scoring eight points dur-ing a 13-2 run that propelled the Dragons to a 35-23 half-time advantage.

Duxbury slowly built its lead in the third quarter to 45-29 on an Aaron Kramer basket, and ended the first 24 minutes ahead 53-32 with an 8-3 run fu-eled by a Grossman flurry.

The teams matched bas-kets to start the final quarter, as Cushing went to his bench halfway through with a com-fortable 63-42 lead.

A Blout hoop gave Duxbury its biggest lead of the night at 67-44 before the Titans made it respectable with a small surge at the end.

Sullivan led the way for the Dragons with 16 points, while Kramer (14) and Grossman (11) also hit for double figures.

The Dragons now stand at 10-3 after the weekend, as they get ready for their big rematch with Scituate on Wednesday night in Duxbury.

Jessica Straus’ work at The Art Complex Museum from Feb. 21 through May 16 proves that

limitations provide rich fodder for inven-tion. Her widgets are crafted with the pared down elements of hand-carved and painted balls, pegs, and jointed segments. Straus marries her hand-crafted wooden elements with found metal forms, some familiar, others enigmatic. Her inventions stretch the definition of function and cel-ebrate the quirkiness of the individual in a joyful swipe at mass production. Exhibit will be in the Pheonix Gallery.

Straus will also exhibit her “Little Red Dress” series. Small carved female figures, stoi-cally poised in various precarious positions, leave the viewer at once alarmed and chuckling in self recognition. As in all of Straus’ work, the line between levity and gravity is crossed and recrossed, and held in delicate balance.

Educated at Brown University, Kansas City Art Institute, and Cranbrook Academy of Art, Straus now works out of her studio in Somerville, Massachusetts. A reception is scheduled for Feb. 28, 1:30-3:30 p.m. Museum hours are Wednesday through Sunday, from 1-4 p.m. Admis-sion is free. For more information call 781-934-6634 ext. 12 or visit artcomplex.org.

her first-grade class from the small town of Hancock, NH, all through Facebook. The point is that the wave is growing, and age is no longer an excuse to stay off the Internet. My wife remains young and supple, but even old goats like me can link up with the other old goats we’ve left behind. With the ease of uploading photos, we can even share what we look like now.

My friend Charley Hodges is nearly 60, but his current photo still beams with “Charleyness.” I might not have picked him out cold from a crowd, but knowing it was him, I could see him shining through. Leon Flesdrager (the roomie) still looks exactly the same. I could have spotted him at an airport.

My experience might not be everyone’s. I find with each connection, and the few memories we have exchanged and clarified since, that a part of myself falls back into place. A favorite record album, or a memory of some other shared acquaintance, takes on a whole new life when shared today with someone who was there “yesterday.” And when a part of myself falls into place, I feel more whole. More present. More comfortable in my own skin.

Some of the memories are tough. At my age, some of the characters are gone. Charley’s mother (Lib) is still alive, but his father died just recently. I’ll write more about him this coming Memorial Day, but for now I’ll say only that I knew him as my friend’s dad, and that he was a next-door neighbor for three years. His service with the 29th Infantry Division assaulting Omaha Beach at Normandy in World War II will wait, like the story of his helping to save my dog’s life.

My older brother, Bob, has used the Internet to reconnect with everyone from his high school classmates to his buddies in Vietnam. His “reply all” e-mails span the globe, sharing everything from really lame jokes to important self expressions and personal news. Through him, I now can contact relatives that had become mere memories.

It’s not automatic. Bob works at making and keeping these connections – now a web – and I just do my best to keep in touch. I still qualify as “Loner,” though “Professor” has stuck with me over the years – both in college and during my days as an 18-wheeler driver.

So connect now, whoever you are. Treasure your yearbook when it comes. If you youngsters think you might lose it, give it to your parents for safe-keeping until you settle. You’ll need those pictures to remind you of who you meet online years from now. But don’t wait until you’re 60 to connect. Even the classmates you barely know may become friends in the future – even if one of you needs to apologize. And you oldsters – don’t waste another moment. Facebook and the like won’t hurt you, and you might just find a part of yourself you didn’t know was missing.

After a couple of tough weekends on the road, the Dux-bury wrestling team returned to winning form Wednesday night at home with a resound-ing 57-21 win over North Quincy, prior to winning two out of three matches on Satur-day over Somerset and Rock-land.

First up for the young Drag-ons was a wrestling team from Somerset that is experiencing some growing pains of its own. The match started at 103 lbs. with freshman Nick Kates tak-ing the mat for Duxbury. Kates found himself in a hole after two takedowns, but an illegal hold by his opponent gave him a point and life at 4-1. Howev-er, Kates was taken down again and three back points by the lanky Blue Raider beat him by a 9-1 major decision.

The Somerset lead was short-lived when freshman Jake Genereux took the mat for the hosts in the 112 lbs. weight class. Genereux took his oppo-nent to the mat, and recorded the first of Duxbury’s four pins, giving the home team a 6-4 lead.

Unfortunately for the visi-

tors, things went downhill from there when they had to take consecutive forfeits at 119 and 125, handing the Drag-ons a commanding 14-point lead. That set up a showdown between Duxbury sophomore Mikkel Linskey and Somerset junior Troy Pappas in the 130 lbs. weight class.

Linskey went on the of-fensive twice, but couldn’t fin-ish the takedown, allowing the Somerset junior to take advan-tage of bad positioning. The period would end with Pappas up 2-0, and he would extend his lead to 3-0 after an escape from bottom. Unfazed, Lins-key landed a takedown of his own, and would tie the score at 3-3 late in the third period with an escape of his own. To the delight of the Duxbury bench, Linskey forced overtime where he wasted little time taking Pappas to the mat for a dra-matic 5-3 OT win.

Somerset was in desperate need of a win and a pin when they bumped up senior captain Eric Francis (#3 in the state at 130) to take on Duxbury’s Jamie Auer in the 135 lbs. weight class. The experienced senior captain showed why he’s among the state’s best, but Auer refused to be pinned. In-stead, Francis had to settle for an 11-0 major decision.

With the score 21-8 in fa-vor of Duxbury, Somerset was looking to close the gap with senior captain Matt Taber fac-ing off against Duxbury junior Pat Donovan. Neither wrestler could muster a takedown in the first period, but Taber executed a perfect switch from the bot-tom position, giving him a two-point reversal. Donovan would cut the lead in half with an escape, but that would be as close as he would come, as

Taber went on to an eventual 9-2 minor decision.

Somerset would earn five more points in the 145 lbs. weight class when senior Colin Connolly lost by technical fall. The undersized Duxbury grap-pler did a great job eluding the pin, but the Blue Raiders were on the comeback trail.

Senior Conor Clark would dash any hopes of a come-from-behind victory for the visitors when he took Somer-set’s Sean Angelini to the mat in the 152 lbs. weight class and quickly pinned him, giving Duxbury another six points.

It was much the same for the hosts in the 160 lbs. match-up between Duxbury senior captain John McGeady, who pinned Somerset freshman Aaron Klein in 31 seconds, extending the Duxbury lead to 33-16.

Somerset would make it interesting in the heavier weights when they sent senior James Finglis out against Dux-bury sophomore Bobby Boyle. The hard working underclass-man was no match for the ex-perienced senior, who earned a second period pin.

Looking to avoid the same fate for another one of his wrestlers, Duxbury Head Coach Kyle McCarthy opted to take a forfeit at 189 instead of sending Alec McKenzie out against one of Somerset’s top wrestlers in senior Nick Almei-da. Instead, the Duxbury junior would bump up to 215 and face senior Kevin Howorth. The decisive move saved the match for the Dragons, as the teams exchanged pins in the final two bouts with McKenzie pinning Howorth, and Somerset senior captain Adam Pan pinning Duxbury freshman Owen Grey at heavyweight. Duxbury es-caped with a 40-36 victory.

After getting crushed by top-ranked Bridgewater-Rayn-ham, 65-4, Duxbury rebound-ed in their third match of the day with a 33-30 win over rival Rockland.

Rockland wrestling has a proud tradition under head coach Tim Brown (ninth year) and has won five consecutive Patriot League titles. Just like Duxbury, the Bulldogs lost many seniors to graduation, so Brown knew he was going to have to pull out all the stops to beat the Dragons.

The match was another seesaw affair with Duxbury getting a pin from Pat Dono-van at 140 lbs., only to give up a pin at 145 and 152 lbs. How-

ever, John McGeady would get another pin for Duxbury at 160.

With the match tied at 12-12, sophomore Bobby Boyle would come back from a near fall and 5-0 deficit in the first period against Rockland junior David Roy to earn a pivotal 9-8 decision.

Again the two teams would exchange points when Rockland junior Brian Harrington pinned Alec McKenzie at 189, and Duxbury’s Owen Grey would take a forfeit at 215. Neither team had a heavyweight with Duxbury freshman Winston Schromm out for the remainder of the season with a virus.

With Rockland’s varsity 103 pounder out with an in-jury, Coach Brown strategized ahead of time by having his 112 and 119 lbs. wrestlers cut down to the lower weight class to give them a better chance of winning. The decision almost worked in Brown’s favor, as Rockland senior Fernando Na-scimento pinned Nick Kates and junior John Bille pinned Jake Genereux, giving the visi-tors a 30-21 lead. The move was especially significant be-cause Genereux had pinned Nascimento earlier in the sea-son, and had just earned a 10-2 major decision over B-R junior Nathan Jaranville, preventing a Duxbury shutout.

Fortunately for the Drag-ons, they still had enough am-munition left on the bench in senior captains Tim Donoghue (119 lbs.) and Robert Kates (125 lbs.), who both followed with key pins in their respec-tive weight classes, giving Duxbury a 33-30 win.

The Duxbury girls’ hockey team took on Division I Hing-ham on Wednesday night and was able to hold its head high, despite a 4-2 loss to the Har-borwomen (13-2).

Tied 1-1 after two periods, Hingham built a two-goal ad-vantage in the third and held on for the win.

However, has been the

case all year long, the Lady Dragons are a tough bunch. Nothing seems to get them down for long, as evidenced by Saturday afternoon’s 2-0 shutout win over Whitman-Hanson/Pembroke.

Duxbury had a quick ad-vantage with a power play opportunity just two minutes into the game, but failed to score, then watched as fresh-man Hannah Murphy went in alone on WHP goaltender Kel-ly Travers, only to be stopped in her scoring bid a couple of minutes later.

While both teams had problems putting the puck in the net, it looked like Dux-bury had finally broken the jinx with 3:32 to go in the first period, only to have the goal disallowed when the referees ruled it had been kicked in.

With 1:10 left in the period, junior Briana Connolly almost put her team on the board, but was robbed by Travers as she stuck out the glove to preserve the 0-0 tie at the end of the first period.

The second period started with Connolly and WHP’s

Kristy Kennedy going to the penalty box just three seconds after the puck was dropped, as Kennedy’s aggravating play caught the eyes of the offi-cials.

At the 13:25 mark the Lady Dragons went on the power play and Murphy ap-peared to be going in alone for a breakaway. The fresh-man looked like she had been tripped, but there was no call. Less than a minute later she unloaded a shot from the right face-off circle and was robbed again by Travers.

The Duxbury pressure was beginning to wear down WHP, and they finally succeeded in scoring with 12:31 to go when Molly O’Sullivan fired from the right point and had her shot deflect past Travers for a 1-0 lead.

Momentum was clearly on the Lady Dragons side, as freshman Lily Connolly had a scoring bid, only to watch Travers do a split save and kick it away, as she stood on her head for over a minute while keeping her team in the game.

Depth is a key to this Dux-bury hockey team, and it was beginning to show midway through the game.

With 5:45 left in the sec-ond period, O’Sullivan took the puck up ice and dribbled through the Panther defense before drilling a shot on net. As the defense wilted, Dux-bury drew a penalty and took just over a minute to score, as Murphy poked home a loose puck out of a scramble in front of Travers for a 2-0 lead.

WHP was determined to get back in the game as the third period started, put-ting pressure on the Duxbury defense for the first time all night.

Staying out of the pen-alty box would be Duxbury’s primary concern. However,

they couldn’t quite get it to-gether in their own end and went a man down with 8:51 left in the game. Making mat-ters worse was another Lady Dragon penalty with 8:09 to go, giving the visitors a two-man advantage and a serious bid at tying the game.

Fifteen seconds into its two-man advantage, WHP fired on goaltender Julia Han-non, who flashed out her glove and deflected the shot just enough to cause it to go over the net.

Whatever chance WHP had to tie the game went out the window at the 5:25 mark, when Kennedy was whistled for a cross-check, putting the Lady Dragons on the power-play and negating any chance for the opponents to get back in the game.

With a big win in their pockets, the Lady Dragons were barely asleep when they had to get up early on Sunday morning for a 10 a.m. game with Scituate.

It didn’t take long for Duxbury to put the game away, as they jumped out to a 5-0 first-period lead on goals by Connolly (2), Kaitlin Sul-livan (2), and Colleen Leddie. Briana Connolly also got on the board in the second pe-riod, while Olivia McCarthy, Murphy, and Hannon (playing forward) capped the Duxbury scoring.

Now sporting a 12-2-1 re-cord, the Lady Dragons will travel to Martha’s Vineyard on Saturday for a 2 p.m. game with the Islanders.

Tim McKinney’s jour-ney to division I col-lege basketball has

come to an end, and the final destination turned out to be a school who has been with him since the beginning.

McKinney headed to Bry-ant University in January and joined the team as a red-shirt for the rest of the season.

McKinney’s journey to di-vision I college basket has not been without hurdles, in fact the six-foot-five swingman has had to overcome a plethora of obstacles over the years.

After McKinney gradu-ated from Boston College High School in 2008, he had a very successful month of July on the exposure circuit and then began his post-graduate year at North-field Mount Hermon.

American University was the first division I school to of-fer a scholarship, coming at the Hoop Mountain Academic All-American Camp, but Bryant became the second only days later. Before the summer came to an end, McKinney picked up two other offers as well as strong interest from several other schools.

McKinney continued to raise the level of his game and was playing some of the best basketball of his career when he arrived at NMH in the fall, but in only his second week there he went down with a knee injury that required season end-

ing surgery. It was

during the long recovery process that McKinney’s relationship with the Bry-ant coaching

staff went to a new level.

“I literally couldn’t walk for a month and Coach O’Shea and Coach Pina were still call-ing me every week pretty much throughout the whole year,” McKinney said.

After missing all of his post-graduate year and not yet returning to game shape this summer, McKinney opted to head to New Hampton this sea-son for a second post-graduate year.

“There were four or five other schools flirting with me this fall at New Hampton,” he said, “and obviously there was the opportunity to wait it out until the spring but this was just the right fit.”

As a red-shirt, McKinney won’t see any time during the remainder of Bryant’s season but will be free to participate in all other team practices and workouts, and then have a full four years of eligibility begin-ning next season.

“I’m excited to start prac-ticing with the team, working out with the strength and con-ditioning coach, learning the

system, and being ready to go for next year so I can make an impact right away,” he said.

After literally spending years traveling along this bas-ketball journey, McKinney can now look back and realize the importance of several lessons along the way.

“The level of coaches I’ve been exposed to, from a very young age, is pretty amazing to me,” he said. “From playing with Austin’s dad Coach Carroll at a young age to Craig Stock-mal, Bill Loughnane, John at NMH, and Coach Hutchins at New Hampton, you get a glimpse of college practices and the approach you need to take every day. All of the col-lege practices that I’ve seen are very similar to what we did ev-ery day at BC, NMH, and New Hampton.”

With the recruiting process now behind him and his leg back to 100 percent, there is even value to be found in past injuries and overcoming the correlating obstacles.

“I went from a kid with multiple division I scholarship offers to one who wasn’t even able to play for six months,” he said. “You learn how to handle adversity when you go through something like that and you also realize how much you love the game.”

Material from New England Recruiting Report was used in this story.

Treading lightly with a chance to make postseason play, the Dragons took a giant step backwards in their pursuit of that goal when they dropped a 4-3 decision to Braintree High School on Saturday night at The Bog.

Coming into the game at 5-7-1, the Dragons needed four wins in their last six games to make the .500 mark to qualify. With three tough games sched-uled in the Cape Cod Clas-sic over school vacation, it seemed like a must-win for the Dragons.

Braintree came out smok-ing and dominated play in the first period, scoring less than three minutes into the game when junior forward Jared Rizo moved into the slot un-touched and blasted a shot off the crossbar that dropped be-

hind goalie Derek Williams for a 1-0 lead.

Following the goal, the Wamps were aggressive on their forecheck and had the Dragons pinned in their own end for close to a minute. Un-able to advance the puck, Dux-bury had few scoring chances until late in the first period when they got a rare breakout.

Taking a pass from ju-nior defensemen Joe Coyne, sophomore Cam Daley came flying down the right wing and unloaded a shot from the top of the face-off circle, beat-ing Braintree goaltender Mike Monahan over his left shoulder and under the crossbar to tie the game at 1-1 with 36 sec-onds left in the period.

The goal seemed to get the Dragons back on track, as they were far more competi-tive in the middle stanza and almost went ahead with 5:07

to go when a goal was disal-lowed when the net came off its moorings.

The Duxbury pressure con-

tinued to mount, as defenseman Jake Kearney unloaded a blast on Monahan that signaled the Dragons’ most aggressive play of the night.

But the Dragons’ aggres-sive play would come back to haunt them, as three players over-skated a loose puck in the Duxbury end and watched helplessly when Rizo scored his second of the night for a 2-1 lead with 2:58 left in the period.

Duxbury didn’t let the mis-take affect its play, as it contin-ued its aggressive style. It took just a over a minute to tie the game once again when junior captain Bryan Barry fired from the left face-off circle to beat Monahan with 1:24 to go in the period.

While the Dragons felt good about their comeback effort, they must have taken a psychological hit with eight seconds remaining when a face-off to Williams’ right turned ugly. With Rizo winning the draw, he slid the puck across to captain Tim Harrrington, who barely tipped the puck into the far right corner beyond Wil-liams’ reach for a 3-2 lead.

The well-played and pen-alty-free game finally saw its first man-advantage of the night with 8:19 to go when the Dragons went on the power-play, only to see their chance at a tie go by the boards.

Duxbury kept its feet mov-ing and it finally paid off, as sophomore forward Will Sief-ert tied the game with 4:21 to go, giving Duxbury a chance for a comeback win.

Things were looking up for the Dragons with 2:26 to go when the Wamps were called for too many men on the ice. However, even a timeout by Coach John Blake to get his troops organized couldn’t get the job done.

All the momentum Dux-bury generated came to a halt with 48 seconds to go when the Dragons were nailed with a holding penalty. Able to hold off the Wamps for most of the penalty, a slight breakdown left Harrington all alone coming through the slot where he slid his shot into the far corner past Williams for the game-winning goal.

“We just aren’t getting the bounces now that we did ear-lier in the season,” said Coach John Blake. “That’s the second time we have gotten a penalty in the final minute of a game and it cost us. We played better as the game went on, but we’re still not playing for 45 minutes the way we need to.”

The Dragons will travel to Scituate on Wednesday night at 6:10 p.m., and return home on Saturday night to take on Xaverian at 6:20 p.m. at The Bog.

Dragons lose heartbreaker in final seconds

POlE POSITION: Duxbury’s Connor Doyle tries to jam the puck past Braintree goaltender Mike Monahan during the Dragons’ 4-3 loss on Saturday night at The Bog.

ClOSE CAll: Goalteder Derek Williams flashes his glove to make a save while Will Siefert moves in to help out.

Duxbury’s Scott Shaunessy, Jeff Norton, Bobby Farrelly, Jack Corbett, and Jack Smith traveled to Sun Valley, Idaho to take on the Sun Valley Suns in semi-pro hockey action. Their East Coast Gutter Snipes team split the weekend series, falling 7-6 (OT) on Friday night and avenging the loss with a resounding 11-6 victory on Saturday night.

Open House and In-person Registration Night:

March 10, 2010 6:30-8:30pm, Merry Room, Duxbury Library

FOOTBALL QUESTIONS, please email: Dino Colucci, [email protected] QUESTIONS, please email: Jen Carley, [email protected]

The Duxbury Youth Football teams re-cently held their

end-of-season banquets and three teams presented the Black Lion award. This nation-al award is given in the mem-ory of Major Don Holleder, a former West Point All Ameri-can who died in combat in Vietnam in 1967, and the men of the Black Lions 28th Infan-try Regiment who died with him that day. The award is in-tended to go to the person on the team who best exemplifies the character of Don Holleder: leadership, courage, devo-tion to duty, self-sacrifice, and above all an unselfish concern for the team ahead of himself. The recipients of this award were Drew Hadley (eighth grade midgets), Drew Michel-son (seventh grade midgets), and Cam Smith (fourth grade mites). The eighth grade head coach Rick Lippard praised Drew Hadley for his will-ingness over the years to do whatever necessary to help his team be successful. “Drew’s leadership over the years, and this year in particular, played a large part in the success of the team. Drew has a knack for coming up with the big play when his team needs one, as exemplified by his Super Bowl winning touchdown catch this season as time ran out.” Drew Michelson’s coaches Jeff Pilon

and Mike Mazurczak praised his work ethic and positive at-titude. “He was a real leader who always inspired his team-mates with his guts, physi-cal play and positive attitude. Throughout the season Drew was asked to play several dif-ferent positions and gave an outstanding effort all of time.” Mite head coach Rick Davis also praised his center and best lineman, “Cam never let his team down when they needed him most, worked the hard-est in practice, and raised the standard of effort and deter-mination for the whole team.

Cam lead by example and his toughness and unselfishness were an inspiration for the whole team, and in particular the other linemen.” Emmett Cosgrove, a West Point Cadet football player helped Coach Davis present the award to Cam Smith, and captivated the mite football team with an inspirational talk on the value of hard work and deter-mination on the football field. Previous Black Lion winners include Sam Kollmorgen and Nick Kates (2003 Mites var-sity and JV, respectively), and Ryan Crane and Trent Smith

(2004 Pee Wees varsity and JV, respectively), Billy Breen (2005 Pee Wees), Andrew Bu-ron (2006 Midgets JV), Tan-ner Wood and James Mattes (2007 Midgets varsity and JV, respectively), and Marshal McCarthy, Marcus Urann,

and Brad Backlund (2008 D2 midgets, D5 midgets, and D5 mites, respectively). For more information on DYF, please go to duxburyyouthfootball.com. For more information on the Black Lion award, go to coachwyatt.com.

The Pack 1776 Black Dragon Patrol at the Cranberry Harbors Webelos klondike Derby 2010 held Jan. 23 at Camp Squanto in Plymouth. Standing are Ben Sullivan, Guy Holbrook, Tripper Donnelly, Chase Donnelly and Mike Williams. Seated on sled: Mike Dannemiller, Quinn Capraro, Ryan Driscoll and luke Mallegol. The derby consisted of 10 stations where patrols district-wide were tested on their scouting skills and leadership abilities, earning points towards a total score. The Duxbury Black Dragon Patrol collected and transported their required gear on a sled that was made by one of the boy’s grandfathers with materials donated by the scouts.

The Black Dragons successfully demonstrate their ability to build a fire and burn through two strings of varying height. The boys’ fathers accompanied the scouts at the Derby but were not allowed to help their sons, so they had to move their sled from station to station, demonstrating their knowl-edge of first aid, cooking, knot tying, fire building, knife safety, naturalist training, flag folding, map and compass skills and more. The Black Dragon Patrol earned a ribbon and patch with an average score of 7.7 out of 10.

The Duxbury Free Li-brary’s next film in the Fourth Friday Film series, “Volver,” directed by Pedro Almodóvar will screen on Friday, Feb. 26 at 7 p.m. in the Merry Room, library lower level. Led by James Mandrell, library trustee and professor of film at Bran-deis University, the series is designed for the over-18 crowd and meets every fourth Friday.

Film screenings are preceded and followed by lively discus-sion led by Prof. Mandrell. Admission is free and refresh-ments are available.

For further information, 781-934-2721 x100 or go to duxburyfreelibrary.org.

Feb. 26: Volver (Spain 2006) dir. Pedro Almodóvar. 121 mins. Rated R. Anyone with questions about Pené-

lope Cruz’s talent as an actor will have all the answers af-ter watching this film. Alm-odóvar treads familiar ground and works with some of his favorite actresses—including Carmen Maura, Lola Dueñas, and Chus Lampreave—to cre-ate a film of genuine emotional resonance.

March 26: Songcatch-er (USA 2000) dir. Maggie

Greenwald. 109 mins. PG-13. Although somewhat anach-ronistic, the music and Janet McTeer’s pitch-perfect perfor-mance more than make up for whatever is less than apt for the period. With Pat Carrol and Aidan Quinn, as well as a sur-prisingly affecting Emmy Ros-sum in her first feature film.

April 23: Ma vie en rose / My Life in Pink (France 1997)

dir. Alain Berliner 88 mins. Rated R. A family with a secret that it tries desperately to keep under wraps. Eventually, ev-erything comes out—doesn’t it always?—and everyone has to make a choice about what is important to them and why. A subtle and sweet film with 13-year-old Georges Du Fresne in a remarkable debut perfor-mance.
