the first issue of the Clipper was published. Here’s a look back at the Clipper through-out the years. See page 24 for our editorial.

Duxbury’s newest police chief was installed Monday night at a well-attended cer-emony at the Senior Center.

Matthew Clancy, for-merly chief of Plymp-ton, was ap-pointed by Town Man-ager Richard MacDonald in March af-

ter a search committee sifted through over 50 applicants,

eventually forwarding along three names to the manager. He was sworn in by Town Clerk Nancy Oates in front of his family, members of his for-mer department in Plympton, town officials and members of the Duxbury Police Depart-ment.

State Representative Tom Calter, who has worked with Clancy through the Silver Lake School District and other capacities, told the audience that Monday was “a great night” and spoke of Clancy in glowing terms.

It was a chicken-or-the-egg argument at the Zoning Board of Appeals meeting on Thursday.

A new owner, Michael Ju-liano, is looking to take over the the affordable housing project known as Duxbury Crossing. However, he can’t get financing from the bank

unless he gets an extension on the comprehensive per-mit issued by the ZBA to the prior owner –– yet the board was reluctant to grant such an extension without written assurance that Juliano is in charge of the project.

Town officials, includ-ing members of the Alter-native Energy Committee, Planning Board and Sus-tainable Duxbury toured the wind turbine at the Mas-sachusetts Maritime Acad-emy last week, as Duxbury contemplates building its own municipal turbine.

The tour was organized by Geoff Wilkinson, an Al-ternative Energy Commit-tee member and graduate of the academy, and led by MMA’s chief engineer Paul O’Keefe.

The academy’s turbine was built in June of 2006 and has saved the school about $500,000.

For 364 days of the year, they sit back in the shadows, content

to let others enjoy the fruits of their labor. They never ask for, and rarely receive, praise, yet they are the driving force be-hind many of the beloved in-stitutions in town.

They are the volunteers of Duxbury, and for one night only, the spotlight will be on them.

Twenty-nine residents were honored with a nomina-

tion for volunteer of the year by their peers, some of whom have been nominees in the past. On Wednesday night they will be feted during a ceremony at the Village at Duxbury.

This week Duxbury select-men unanimously denied a re-quest from the managers of the North Hill golf course to oper-ate an alcohol beverage cart at the public nine-hole course on Merry Avenue.

Selectmen also learned that the managers, Johnson Turf and Golf Inc. of Weston, are in violation of their court-ordered agreement to run the course under the terms of their

last contract because Johnson does not currently have a sure-ty bond. Without this bond, the town has no protection or abil-ity to recover funds if Johnson defaults on his agreement to manage the course.

Recreation Director Gor-don Cushing told selectmen that Johnson couldn’t obtain a surety bond from his insur-ance company because of his lawsuit against the town.

Forum on HaitiOn Wednesday, May 12,

there will be an adult forum at St. John the Evangelist Epis-copal Church about life in Haiti, the island nation rocked by a 6.8 earthquake earlier this year. The Sisters of St. Mar-garet, a religious order of the Episcopal Church, will pres-ent “Haiti, After the Quake” beginning at 7 p.m. in the par-ish hall.

The Sisters of St. Margaret have run a school and convent in Haiti for many years. Both structures were destroyed in the earthquake, yet all of the sisters went through the ordeal without harm. The Sisters also have a very visible presence in Duxbury.

Come and learn what has happened since the earthquake, and hear about the many min-istries the Sisters continue to do for the people of Haiti.

Duxbury Police are letting residents know that a regis-tered level 3 sex offender has moved into town. A level three sex offender is someone who has been convicted of a sex-related crime, and has been deemed by the state’s Sex Offender Registry Board as highly likely to reoffend. Lo-cal police will often notify the community at large when such a person moves to or works in town. However, police stress that the man is not wanted by police. Using information from the sex offender registry

to commit a crime or illegally harass someone is a crime, punishable by up to two years

in jail.Steven Dailey, 39, is liv-

ing at 68 Autumn Ave. in Dux-bury. He is a white male, 5’ 9’’, with brown eyes and hair. He was convicted in 2009 of four counts of indecent assault and and battery on a person 14 or older.

According to the Sex Of-fender Registry Board, there is one other level three reg-istered sex offender living in Duxbury. David Nickerson, of 501 Elm St., was convicted of rape in 1989.

Annual plant sale on tap

The Community Gar-den Club of Duxbury, a member of the Garden Club Federation of Massachu-setts, is hosting its Annual Plant Sale Saturday, May 22 from 9 a.m. to 12 noon on the front lawn of The First Parish Church on Tremont Street. A variety of locally grown perennials, annuals, trees, and bushes will be offered for purchase (e.g., peonies, daylilies, hostas, heliopsis, coneflowers and grasses). Since these plants are grown in Duxbury soil, they have better survival rates than plants purchased at a large commercial chain. Also, while you are brows-ing the offerings, engage the experienced garden club members in discussions about enhancing your own gardens. The proceeds of this sale are used for many town beautification projects such as at the Harbormas-ter office and St. George flag pole site. More than ten sites in town have been planted and are maintained by members of the CGCD.

Nancy Whipple Grinnell, guest curator for In Pursuit of the Picturesque: American Paintings of New England and New York from The Art Complex Museum Collection, from May 2 until Sept. 5, is returning to the museum that she first visited in the early 1970’s as a student and ended up working as a librarian and then as a librarian and curator

for many years. Now a curator at the Newport Art Museum, Ms. Grinnell has always rec-ognized that the museum’s col-lection contains an astounding number of the most important art history classics.

An opening reception is scheduled for Sunday, May 16, from 1:30-3:30 p.m.

May is Campership Month at Wiemeyer Dentistry.

Every May, the Duxbury Interfaith Council raises money for their Campership program. This year their goal is to raise $25,000. The money will send approximately 40 Dux-bury kids to camp, at a cost of approximately $500 per child. For many of the children, this camp experience is the high-light of their summer, and something they wouldn’t have been able to do without financial assistance. This May, Wiemeyer Dentistry is helping raise awareness of and money for this program. Each time someone gets his or her teeth cleaned in our office during the month of May, we will donate $15 to the DIC Campership Fund. So if you’re due for a cleaning, come on in and be part of the effort!

The renovations at the Percy Walker Pool are 90 per-cent complete, according to Duxbury Recreation Director Gordon Cushing. The pool is tentatively scheduled to re-open on May 17.

The pool was emptied of water in July of 2009 and shortly thereafter a firm was chosen for the project. Paul J. Rogan Company from Brain-tree was chosen as the general contractor. The winning con-struction bid was just under 1.9 million dollars.

Michael J. Hurley was hired as the owner’s project manager. Hurley has 30 years experience in the construction field and has worked on many municipal construction proj-ects. Demolition began the second week of September.

Visitors to the pool will notice a few major changes right away. The pool room it-self, which Cushing said was “dark and dingy” before the renovations, now has a bank of windows along the back wall, facing the school com-plex.

“It’s much much brighter in here,” Cushing said. “We’ll be able to turn a lot of the lights off and use natural day-light.”

In the front foyer, a new locked and secure office area has been created, with a kitch-enette for staff. The bathrooms have been completely redone, and equipped with low-flow toilets that will save 40,000 gallons of water a year, Cush-ing said. The bathrooms are also equipped with a “suit spinner” that patrons can use to dry their bathing suits be-fore packing them away.

The most noticeable ad-ditions are a new multi-pur-pose room to the left of the entrance that can be rented out for birthday parties and other functions, and a family changing room. Cushing said the changing room was one of the most asked for items on a survey conducted by the Rec-reation Department.

Especially concerned were parents who often had to send their young child of the oppo-

site sex through adult locker rooms to get to the pool.

“We want them to be safe,” Cushing said.

Also in the pool, a new set of stairs will allow safer entry to the pool than the old ladder system.

Pool construction on targetPercy Walker Pool projected to re-open May 17

Cushing shows off a new set of steps that will allow easier access to the shallow end of the pool.

Water is pumped back into the Percy Walker Pool –– a sign the recon-struction is nearly complete.

Recreation Director Gordon Cushing stands outside the renovated offices at the Percy Walker Pool. Construction on the pool is 90 per-cent complete and the pool is tentatively expected to open May 17.

Workers stand in the new multi-purpose room, one of the most noticeable new features at the pool.

As you were planning for retirement, your own financial fu-ture was your top priority. But, you also kept in mind the legacy you would leave your children when you were gone.

As retirement drew nearer, you had every intention of sticking with your original plan and budget. But now, after being re-tired for a short while, you have found that you want additional discretionary income. Still, you’re unsure about increasing your savings withdrawals since doing so would

erode the assets you had hoped to leave your heirs.

Consider this hypothetical situation about how one 70-year old woman tackled the very same challenge. She had set aside $500,000 for her children’s inheritance. Yet, once she actu-ally retired, she realized that the annual budget she had carved out for herself was insufficient for the retirement lifestyle she desired. She considered simply buying an annuity to gener-ate more discretionary income for herself until her financial professional suggested a two-step life insurance plus annuity strategy to help her avoid choosing between her financial fu-ture or her family’s. First, she bought a permanent life insurance policy with a $500,000 death benefit, naming her children as beneficiaries. Based on her age, gender and the options chosen, the annual premium for this policy was approximately $17,001.

Next, she purchased a $500,000 Lifetime Income Annuity that generated a guaranteed annual after-tax payout of al-most $37,002 that would continue every year for the rest of her life. The annuity payouts covered the entire life insurance premium each year, plus she still received the nearly $20,000 remaining per year of income just as she had hoped.

The life insurance plus annuity strategy achieved both impor-tant goals: Our retiree got the extra income she needed, and was still able to help secure her family’s financial future with a generous, guaranteed inheritance.

The turbine cost $1.48 million to build and will last between 20 and 25 years.

“That’s a good deal,” O’Keefe said.

O’Keefe said the turbine alone saves the institution about 20 percent a year on electricity bills. The school has also made approximately $100,000 by selling renewable energy credits, O’Keefe said.

The turbine is the same kind as Hull 1, near Hull High School, and would be similar to what Duxbury is looking into. The model of the turbine is a Vestas V47, and the struc-ture stands 242 feet high at the tip of the highest blade.

The turbine was only in operation three days a week until October of 2006, how-ever, as the school had to do a federally-mandated study of birds (there are some en-dangered terns in the area). O’Keefe said there were two suspected bird strikes early in the turbine’s existence, but added they haven’t seen a bird carcass on campus for several years.

There have been no noise complaints since the turbine went live, and they only have minor problems with flicker, shadows cast by the moving blades of the turbine during certain times of day. (For ex-ample, they occasionally have to shut the turbine down dur-ing baseball games because of shadows on the field.)

The blades of the windmill will start turning once wind

speeds reach 8 miles per hour, and more power is generated the faster the blades turn. The turbine, which is completely computer controlled, will shut itself off in excessive wind, however.

In Duxbury, there would have to be a study of wind conditions and other meteo-

rological data before a tur-bine could be built. O’Keefe explained that because Mass. Maritime is an engineering school, they knew there would be an educational benefit to the windmill even if there wasn’t much power generated, so they skipped that step.

Mass. Maritime is at the forefront of many alternative energy technologies, besides the windmill. O’Keefe said that about 40 percent of the school’s power needs are pro-duced on campus.

Sprinkled across campus are 62 streetlights that are com-pletely solar powered. There is also a smaller-scale vertical wind turbine on top of one of the dorms that is starting to be used to generate power. On top

of the dorms are hundreds of photovoltaic solar panels that collect heat from the sun and turn it into energy. “We want to get many different technol-ogies so the students can look at them,” O’Keefe said.

Duxbury’s annual Town Meeting passed a bylaw this March that paves the way for

municipal wind turbines in town. The most likely site, according to town officials, would be at the DPW yard behind town hall. Any turbine is still years away from being built, however, and the turbine would only be allowed through a special permit issued by the Planning Board.

Members of the Alternative Energy Committee, Planning Board and Sustainable Duxbury travelled to Mass. Maritime Academy on Saturday to view that school’s wind turbine, as well as other alterna-tive energy technologies.

The turbine is only one of a host of alternative energy technologies employed by the school, including these solar-powered streetlights.

BIKEWAY

known as 40B, was owned by Charles Tringale. After a con-voluted process that involved two appeals, a comprehensive permit was issued by the Zon-ing Board of Appeals in June of 2007. That permit runs out on June 16.

Juliano told the board that he needed an extension of the permit to obtain financing for the project, which he is calling The Reserve at Duxbury and includes 20 housing units. The project is located off Careswell and Enterprise streets.

“It’s difficult for me to

spend further dollars with the uncertainty,” he told the board.

Board members quickly voted to give their blessing for the transfer of the permit. (Their vote did not actually effect the transfer, that has to go through Mass Housing.) However, there was more dis-cussion when it came to the extension. The hearings with Tringale were often conten-tious, and an outstanding fine for illegal tree clearing re-mains a roadblock (although Juliano said part of his taking over the project would be pay-ing the fine.)

“I wouldn’t extend any-

thing to that guy,” said ZBA Chairman Dennis Murphy of Tringale.

However, Tringale is still the project’s owner, and any extension granted would es-sentially be to him until the transfer went through.

Eventually the board com-promised and granted an ex-tension of one-year –– long enough to allow Juliano to obtain his financing but short enough to protect the town in case the transfer falls through. The board voted 4-1 to grant the extension, with Murphy voting no.

Michael Juliano, who is proposing to take over the Duxbury Crossing 40B project at Enterprise and Caresewell streets, presents his plans to the Zoning Board of Appeals Thursday night.

IN OTHER BUSINESS

• The board Granted a spe-cial permit for a pier at 2 King Caesar Road. The board voted 4-1 with Murphy dis-senting.

• The ZBA heard an applica-tion from a business on 21 Chestnut St. that wants to raze an existing garage and replace it with a new garage that will include office space and temporary housing for out-of-state employees. The board seemed amenable to the office space but balked at the idea of allowing tem-poray housing in an acces-sory building for a business. The hearing was continued to June 10 at 7:30 p.m.

All are welcome. “We encourage people to attend, and bring friends, family members, neighbors and anyone who may have concerns, questions or curiosity,” said Representative Calter. He added, “There are many ways to get involved in the campaign and we welcome any assistance or support. Please come even if it is just to learn more about the candidate and the campaign.”

GREENHOUSEFARM STAND

By malColm edGar, dHs musiCian

“How do you get to Carnegie Hall? Prac-

tice, Practice, Practice.” This motto was witnessed at Carne-gie Hall on Saturday April 3 as nine high school groups from

the United States per-f o r m e d on the f a m o u s stage, in-c l u d i n g Duxbury H i g h School’s

Wind Ensemble and String Ensemble. These high school groups were selected by judg-es last June (CD audition) to perform at the National Band and Orchestra Festivals at Car-negie Hall 2010, sponsored by Field Studies International. This was Duxbury’s third ap-pearance at the festival in 10 years.

Members of both en-sembles boarded buses on Wednesday after school to make the trek to New York City. Thursday morning the band and orchestra went to rehearse and tour the Yamaha Institute. The musicians took a tour of the institute’s custom-made instruments as well the shop at which they are made. After rehearsing, the students were granted a break in Times Square. Later that night, the ensembles attended the hit play “Wicked.” Experienc-ing a Broadway performance was both musically enlighten-ing and entertaining to all of the students. On Friday, the groups rehearsed for the final time before their performances in another studio in downtown

Manhattan. The next stop was Lincoln Center. There they took the tour of all of the Lin-coln Center buildings, includ-ing the Metropolitan Opera House.

Saturday morning the stu-dents packed their bags and dressed for the performance. Prior to performing, students listened to the other festi-val participants. The caliber of music played came as no surprise to the students, but the acoustics at Carnegie Hall were amazing! An hour before the performance, the orchestra and band headed backstage. The String Ensemble per-formed a program of: “Amer-ican Reel,” the famous “St.Paul’s Suite” by Gustav Holst with soloist Carson Lloyd “Perseus” and finished with “Incantations.” The orchestra performed beautifully. “Play-ing at Carnegie Hall was a once in a lifetime opportunity that was made possible by the superb music program we are so lucky to have in Duxbury,” said DHS Senior viola player Maria Varonko.

The Wind Ensemble took the stage next. Their program consisted of: “Masque” featur-ing lead trumpeter Connor In-glis; “Shepherds Hey” featur-ing Ryan Piesco, Zach Payne, Nora Serres, and Connor Ing-lis; Persichetti’s “Divertimen-to for Band.” The finale was “Blue Shades,” which featured a jazz induced solo by Alex Kosharek on clarinet. The band’s performance was fabu-lous and earned high remarks from the tough judges. Senior flautist Elisabeth O’Toole said, “I’ve never been so nervous and happy at the same time!” Wind Ensemble Director Jill

Noerenberg said. “Of the three times we’ve been there, this was by far the best. We had an incredibly challenging pro-gram, all the soloists were out-standing, and the judges were very impressed.”

As the performers emerged from the hall, they were wel-comed by a substantial en-tourage of family and friends. For many seniors, it was a bit-tersweet moment, recogniz-ing that this would be their last music trip with the Dux-bury Music Department. This memorable achievement will be one that remains with each performer for the rest of their lives.

MuSIC NOTES


“You have chosen an ex-traordinary leader,” Calter said. “Everybody wins.”

Paula Harris, who was a member of the Police Chief Search Committee, said her group was “thrilled” when they learned MacDonald had appointed Clancy as chief.

“Throughout the process, Chief Clancy stood out in so many ways,” Harris said.

MacDonald thanked the interim chief, Stephen Do-herty, calling him a “pro’s pro,” before praising everyone involved in the search process, including the committee and consultant Steven Unsworth of BadgeQuest.

“The town of Duxbury again showed its fabric,” Mac-Donald said. “I am very, very proud of this committee.”

MacDonald told Clancy he had the support of himself, the department heads, the Duxbury police officers and the town as a whole.

“You’ve earned it and you deserve it,” he said.

Empty Bowls dinner at DHS

The public is invited to Duxbury High School’s Sec-ond Empty Bowls Dinner to be held in the DHS cafeteria on Wednesday, May 12 from 6-7:30 p.m. The meal served will be a dinner of simple food including soup, bread, bever-ages and dessert. Your empty bowl serves as a reminder that far too many people in Massa-chusetts go to bed hungry ev-ery day.

Duxbury High School ce-ramics students created the bowls along with members of the DHS faculty and the DHS National Honor Society. Enter-tainment for the event will be provided by members of the DHS Jazz Band. There will also be a silent auction of some very special ceramics and jew-elry.

Admission will be $10 at the door. Cash and checks (made out to the Greater Bos-ton Food Bank) will be accept-ed. Your donation gives you the opportunity to take home a special handmade ceramic bowl. All proceeds will benefit the Greater Boston Food Bank. Annually the organization serves over 190,711 individu-als and serves Eastern Massa-chusetts.

The elusive House WrenBy FaHy ByGate, Clipper Columnist

I woke up this morning to the sound of light rain on the roof and to a loud gurgling sound in the back yard. It sounded like one of those children’s bubble pipes. Just

like a House Wren! I am always surprised in the spring when my ears are all tuned up for warblers and vireos, orioles and catbirds and instead I hear a wren. It took me many years of birding before I saw my first House Wren. Although they are listed as “common” and their song is bright and loud, I never seemed to even get a glimpse of one. Their Latin name is

Troglodytes aedon; Troglodytes meaning “hermit” and aedon from a Greek myth in which Zeus gets carried away and turns all the members

of a family into birds. After her father becomes a pelican, Aedon is turned into a nightingale. So, the House Wren is honored for its secretive ways and its lovely song. And it was the secretive part that was hampering my efforts to find one. Like most wrens, the House Wren is a small, drab, brown bird built more like a warbler than a sparrow but with the wren’s characteristic upturned tail. Its back is brown with dark barring and its under parts are light brown. Its insect-snatching bill is long and thin with a slight curve in it and yellow at the base. The long, turned-up tail is brown with dark barring. Unlike most of the other wrens in the U.S., the House Wren has only a faint eyebrow stripe.The Cornell Lab of Ornithology suggests that you learn the House Wren’s song before you drive yourself nuts looking for one. I only wish I had read this 20 years ago. It “chitters” and “chatters” and bubbles. Although the song is not easily made into a mnemonic like the “teakettle, teakettle, teakettle” of the Carolina Wren, its very jumble of notes that sound to me like a bubble pipe can be the give away. The Wikipedia Web site has a short recording of a typical song.

Although I had a tough time finding my first House Wren, they are not afraid to build their nests near buildings, barns, in mail boxes, even old boots left outside. They like flower beds and shrubbery and, like all wrens, brush piles. Brush piles provide cover and protection and are a good source of insects. The Cornell Lab suggests that if you prune your trees and brush in your yard that you heap the cuttings into a pile, perhaps at the end of your yard, and create a haven for wrens. It will be sure to attract these and other shy, bug-loving birds.

FRIDAY • MAY 7TH

OPENING...for our 31st Season!


The Board of Selectmen approved a contract with the police union at their meeting on Monday night.

The board voted unani-mously to ratify the agreement with MCOP Local 376, Dux-bury Police Union Employ-ees.

The agreement covers the period of July 1, 2009 to June 30, 2010 and guarantees union members a 1.5 percent raise retro active to July 1, 2009. It also touches on a number of other items, according to Per-sonnel Director Jeanne Horne, and includes job descriptions for the ranks of detective ser-

geant, patrol sergeant and po-lice officer.

The agreement was de-scribed as a stopgap as the town and the union wait to see the results of litigation stem-ming from the state’s recent elimination of Quinn Bill ben-efits. The Quinn Bill guaran-teed additional pay to police officer due to higher education or “life experience” benefits. The litigation is over whether or not cities and towns are re-sponsible for the pay increases now that the state won’t be footing the bill.

“I commend the union for working with us to do this in-terim agreement .... just so we can all stay on the same page,”

said Selectman Betsy Sulli-van. “This was a win-win for everybody.”

Also at the meeting, the board:

• Met briefly as the water commissioners to send out $613,316.31 in water bills.

• Granted a one-day all-al-cohol license for the Duxbury Beach Reservation Society’s beach party on Saturday, Aug. 14 from 6:30 p.m. to mid-night.

• Granted the society per-mission to hold the 5k Gurnet Road Race on the same day.

• Announced that there will be a Red Cross blood drive at First Parish Church on Mon-day, May 10 from 2-7 p.m.

Police contract ratified

The junior garden club spent their last meeting learning about cacti and succulents. They were taught that cacti and succulents are the camels of the plant world, storing water inside themselves. They also learned cacti love heat and sunshine. Succulents

retain water in their leaves and stems, which is why they have a swollen, fleshy appearance. Cacti are known for their unique features like spines, bristles or wooly hair. Cacti and suc-culents will die if they are watered too much. The girls each made a desert scene with three plants which they brought home to thrive in a sunny window. If you would like to learn more about Junior Garden Club through the Community Garden Club of Duxbury, please contact Susie Caliendo at 781-934-2054.

Student art at the Art Complex Museum

Students from six area schools – Scituate High School, Silver Lake High School, Bay Farm Montessori School, Duxbury High School, Plymouth North High School and the Inly School, Scituate - will show their outdoor in-stallations on the grounds of The Art Complex Museum in the Student Outdoor Sculpture exhibit, S.O.S., from May 16 until June 6.

After viewing slides on public art, students will devel-op and present their proposals, choose a specific site, and cre-ate their work. By becoming involved, students learn how a museum works.

An opening reception is scheduled for May 16 from 1:30-3:30 p.m. during which time students will conduct a walking tour and discuss their work. Another reception, that day, will be for In Pursuit of the Picturesque, American paintings of New England and New York from The Art Complex Museum collection. The programs are free and supported by the Carl A. Wey-erhaeuser Family Charitable Trusts, by gifts from friends of the museum and the Duxbury Cultural Council.

South Shore Conser-vatory, the largest community school

for the arts in New England, re-cently hosted a performance of Larence Smith’s Millen-nium Requiem. A resident of Duxbury, Smith and several fellow musicians performed to a standing-room only crowd at The Ellison Center for the Arts. Proceeds totalling $5,000 from concert ticket sales will benefit the Mary Casey Stohn Piano Scholarship, which has been established to honor the life and work of Mary C. Stohn.

Stohn was a dedicated Trustee of South Shore Con-servatory and was instrumen-tal in the campaign to build the Ellison Center for the Arts. She served on the committee that presented the 1998 pre-miere of the Millennium Re-quiem, which was composed by her close friend and piano teacher, Smith.

The Millennium Requi-em was performed by Bon-nie Pomfret, soprano, An-drew Garland, baritone, and Hui-Min Wang, piano. The program also featured Mr. Smith’s composition of Ave Maria, sung by Beth MacLeod, mezzo-soprano, accompanied by the composer. A wine and cheese reception followed the concert.

Donations to the Mary Casey Stohn Piano Scholar-ship are still being accepted and may be mailed to South Shore Conservatory, 1 Con-servatory Drive, Hingham, MA 02043.

60 years later, still relentlessly local coverageFor 60 years, the Duxbury Clipper has delivered

vital community news to your doorstop. We are proud to serve this wonderful, unique and vibrant

community, and we look forward to relentlessly covering all things Duxbury for another 60 years to come.

Many of our readers know the story of the Clipper’s founding, by John Henry and Roberta “Bobbie” Cutler over a bridge game in 1950, after neighbors complained that they missed a 99 cent ham and bean supper. It’s more than a cute story, it encapsulates the Clipper’s mission: to bring you the community news you can’t get anywhere else. From coverage of town meetings to things like the school lunch menu or what’s going on about town, Duxbury is our focus.

That focus, along with our fiercely loyal (and much appreciated) readership, is what’s helped the Clipper weather a tough time to be in the newspaper business. We don’t have a Washington bureau, a fashion reporter or an international correspondent. If you’re looking for the Red Sox scores or the latest from the nation’s capital, well, I’m afraid we can’t help you. But if you’re looking for how the Dragons softball team fared last week, who got married this month or what time the Conservation Committee is meeting on Tuesday, we’ve got you covered. As far as we’re concerned, the world stops at Duxbury’s border, and that’s what makes the Clipper unique.

A few things have changed over the years within the Clipper’s pages. We’ve changed the headline fonts, added color to a few pages and you can read some of our content online. Heck, we even have a Facebook page and a Twitter feed. But the important things have not changed one bit in 60 years. We’re still a fierce, independent voice for Duxbury. We still hold ourselves to the highest standards of journalistic quality. And we still “keep it local” above all else –– now, you only have to turn to our community calendar to know which church is holding a ham and bean supper this weekend. (Sadly, it’s more than likely not 99 cents anymore.)

At its core, the Clipper will always be the spirited, family-run community journal envisioned by the Cutlers over half a century ago. We are proud, honored and humbled to be a part of the Duxbury community, and we are committed to bringing you the local news for years to come.

Every May, the Dux-bury Interfaith Coun-cil raises money for

their Campership and TLC pro-grams. This year our goal is to raise $25,000. The money will send about 40 Duxbury kids to camp, at a cost of approximate-ly $500 per child. For many of the children, this camp experi-ence is the highlight of their summer, and something they wouldn’t have been able to do without financial assistance. In addition, 50 children will be given backpacks and school supplies to go back to school with in September.

The Duxbury Interfaith Council has been helping the community for over 75 years. Our programs additionally in-clude food baskets for over 100 families several times a year; assistance for people with util-ity bills, and food vouchers. Planning for the annual Kids’ Campership program is now underway. This program helps

Duxbury school children with limited financial resources to participate in a summer camp experience. Most of the chil-dren who have received Kids’ Campership subsidies in the past have attended camps such as our Duxbury Recreation Department Camp, the YMCA Camp in Hanover or Camp Wing. Since many of the fami-lies served are single-parent households, summer camp can often be as important for the parents as it is for the children.

The council wants to help children of Duxbury families in need as they start their new school year. Through the Ser-vice Committee, the Teach, Learn, Care backpack project will provide new school sup-plies for these Duxbury students of varying grade levels. Your generous donation will help our future generations be equipped to learn and enjoy school. To learn more about how TLC be-gan, please visit our Web site at

duxinterfaith.com.We would like to share

what one of our recipients re-cently wrote us; “I just wanted to take a moment to thank all of you for the help you have given me and my children over the past few years. I am a sin-gle mom struggling to support my family and keep them in this great town. Living in Dux-bury means everything to me and my children. Duxbury is our home. The generosity and kind-heartedness of the people in this town always amazes me and is something that I am very grateful for, and will never take for granted.”

If you attended a summer camp as a child, we invite you to recall how valuable and en-riching an experience camp can be. Please help the Interfaith Council send the wonderful children to camp this summer.

Beer cart is a ‘smokescreen’ ——————

We have all heard the arguments, the spin, the dark

stories, the mean comments about past patrons of North Hill. We have heard stories about groups being mistreated and pending litigation and now the latest shank – the traveling booze cart smoke screen. Now my good citizens and owners of North Hill Country Club, how about a little truth. This is all about a golf management company that placed a bid to renew its lease with the town of Duxbury for a new ten year lease to operate North Hill Country Club. That bid was bounced for technical reasons. The company re-submitted its bid and was outbid by a lower bidder. OK. The management company lost fair and square.

But, it turns out the low bidder for the new ten year contract to run all operations at the North Hill Country Club had $169 in total assets and no ground keeping equipment whatso-ever. Mr. Richard MacDonald, our town manager signed the RFP for this company. This smells to the losing bidder and he sues. Mr Richard MacDon-ald, in his sworn deposition uses the phrase “I don’t know” over 80 times when asked why he could possibly consider a company so weak. Duxbury town counsel Robert Troy files a summary judgement to attempt to dispose of the entire matter. Now the latest, in my humble opinion, a full court press with this booze thing to pressure the present opera-tor (under court order during

appeal litigation) to drop its appeal or maybe risk losing liquor operations. There were differences at the golf course, no doubt. They could have been solved through common sense talk, mediation. This is a taxpayer gem, not a chip for a few non-taxpayers to play with. Think of the money wasted on this so far; the money we pay the town manager, the money we pay town counsel. My good citizens please do not be mis-led by the spin but be lead by the truth. Google “Scrib” and wonder why a loss of memory could fall on someone who re-ports so many positive things at selectman’s meetings.

I wanted to write this to highlight the generos-ity and support that this

community gave me and my family during one of the tough-est events of our lives. Back in early October my son was diag-nosed with Hodgkin’s lympho-ma. For any parent, this is your worst nightmare. My boy was only 11 years old and if you knew him he would have been the last person on the planet you could have thought would contract a disease like this.

The story started back in early October. An X-ray indi-cated my son had a large mass in his chest and he was imme-diately admitted to Children’s Hospital. As we sat in the hos-pital, scared beyond scared for what the future had in store for our boy, our friends in town had just gotten word of the situation. Our kind, generous, supportive friends in Duxbury were looking for ways to sup-port us for the coming months of his treatment. They set up a Web site that any interested party could access to see how he was progressing, and any-one could post get well soon messages of support. In less than one week we had over 5,000 messages of support, which he read every day. There was another Web site set up to bring us dinners for the next three months. That was filled up with volunteers by the end of first weekend. We had peo-ple who either worked for or were affiliated with the hospital who came by and made sure we were being taken care of. Over-

all it was an incredible show of unity and support that came naturally and with total gener-osity from so many people who wanted to see my son healthy again. It was a positive show of support that my son clearly felt. If you see him now, you’ll see how your selfless work has paid off as he is now playing la-crosse and doing the things he did prior to getting sick.

As I reflect on this whole situation it brings up the age-old question we all have asked ourselves when things like this happens. Why do bad things happen? The only answer I can think of is there must be some good that has come out of this. So what’s the good? Well, most importantly, he’s healthy and back to living his life the way he did before. In addition, all the local youth programs that my boys have played for over the years sent well wishes, presents and team photos. They custom-ordered stickers with his name on them that they stuck to their equipment. Teams dedicated games to him and won; play-ers set personal goals that they achieved in the games that fol-lowed. Our varsity football players and coaches dedicated their game to him and after the victory personally presented him with the game ball, and re-ligious groups prayed for him. The fact that I am riding in the Pan Mass Challenge, which I don’t know if I could have done if it wasn’t for the inspira-tion of my son who I am riding for. Thank you also to the staff at DMS, who did everything in

their power to ensure that my son was able to keep up with his school work and not get behind while he went through his five months of treatment. They did this so well and with such sup-port he was able to make high honors for the second term. We saw a community rally around a little boy and I’m convinced that that outward support went a long way to getting him in the right frame of mind to fight and decisively beat this disease.

Just like everyone in Dux-bury, I have closely followed the typical issues that a town like ours wrestles with day in and day out. Finding solutions to these issues is important and a natural part of the day to day life in our town, and like many towns like ours, they can be polarizing. So when something like this happens, it’s refresh-ing to see all of us rally around a common good and reap the benefit of successfully beating it as a community. As life has slowly gotten back to normal and I reflect on the last seven months, there no doubt that my perspective on life is very dif-ferent, and I ask myself daily how do I begin to thank every-one in our community for their total selfless acts of kindness and support that helped make my boy healthy again. I know this letter pales in compari-son to all your generosity, but please accept it as a small token of my family’s acknowledge-ment for all the support through this very difficult time.

The real illegal aliens

By John Britten, Clipper Columnist

Dr. Stephen Hawking, one of the great minds of our time, recently rocked the scientific world by proclaiming that he believes in the existence of

aliens. He claims that, considering the billions of worlds out there, it is “perfectly rational” to believe that they exist and he expects that they may come some day in “massive ships.”

Dr. Hawking goes on to caution, however, that we should not be in any hurry for a close encounter of the third kind. He forewarns that, “we only have to look at our-selves to see how intelligent life

might develop into something we wouldn’t want to meet.” Obviously, the good doctor has been watching far too much reality television. Could even Stephen King conjure a more nightmarish image then a massive ship full of Kate Gosselins waiting to descend upon us?

It’s interesting that Dr. Hawking terms belief in the possibility of little green men as perfectly rational; it’s just too bad my Uncle Clarence didn’t live long enough to see himself vindicated. Unfortunately, Uncle Clarence passed away in 1958 under “mysterious circumstances.” At least that’s the way that the Orange County Register reported it at the time. Personally, I didn’t believe there was anything mys-terious about it whatsoever. Even as a ten-year-old, I knew that when a 94-year-old man plugs one end of a hearing aid into his ear and the other end onto a 12-volt car battery, he is probably going to die under some pretty “obvious circum-stances.”

What the Register reporter didn’t realize was that Uncle Clarence was the sole conduit for alien messages to the citizens of Orange County. He was able to transmit the fact that Colgate toothpaste was fluoride free, for example, and that Elvis would someday be re-born as an Illinois governor. For most of his life, he was able to receive those messages through a 1949 Japanese transistor radio – cleverly designed in the shape of a baseball complete with painted red stitches. Uncle Clarence might have lived to be 100 if his neighbor’s son hadn’t hit the radio over the house with his new Lou-isville Slugger. From then on, it was a futile search for an alternative receptor, leading ultimately to the car battery incident. It also led Sony to re-think their original bowling ball design for the Walkman.

Although, Dr. Hawking and my uncle shared a belief in the existence of aliens, they differed in their opinion of what we could expect. Whereas Dr. Hawking sees the dark side, the possibility of drooling neo-Cro-Magnons, coming to feed on the planet, Uncle Clarence was convinced an alien inva-sion would only be a positive for the human race. He would have envisioned a world free of Kate Gosselin. Or Lindsay Lohan … Keith Olberman … brussels sprouts … hardwood floor commercials … Nancy Pelosi … static electricity; in short, a bright, intelligent, stress-free future for the entire human race.

But, then of course, Uncle Clarence never had the chance to watch “Jersey Shore.”

Many believe that Duxbury is a wealthy town and

in many ways unique. In some ways it is, however, Duxbury suffers the same problems as many other communities.

Our desire for better ser-vices has driven local taxes ever higher.

We have houses being fore-closed as some have lost their jobs.

We have some elderly liv-ing at, or close to, the Massa-chusetts poverty level.

We have divorced parents trying to survive with school aged children at home.

We have single parents seeking local housing.

We have school teach-ers and other town employees wishing to end their commut-

ing and live locally.We have widows and wid-

owers struggling to survive alone.

We have multigenerational families (children and parents) living under one roof out of ne-cessity.

As each of us goes about our daily lives, we tend to for-get the others around us and understand their concerns. If Duxbury is to really be a “Community that Cares,” we must become more sensitive to the needs of others. We must recognize that we’re really not that much different from the communities around us. We should not let those who need our care be forgotten and left to walk alone.

Bill CampbellHumphreys Lane

To commemorate the 350th anniver-sary of our town The

Duxbury Rural and Historical Society published “The Dux-bury Book 1637-1987.” This is a beautiful book which was a favorite gift given by many of us during the years it was in publication. A quote from the dust jacket reads, “...[this] book shows how the present is illu-minated by the past and how individuals have shaped the di-rection of the town.” When we consider the proposed pier by the new owners of the former Drew House (at the mouth of

the Bluefish River) we find it ironic that the many contribu-tors to this book chose (out of all the lovely spots in our town) photographs of the Bluefish to illustrate both its front and back covers. The cover photo ap-pears to have been taken from the marsh behind the former Drew House. It shows the wide expanse of marsh and water that stretches between Wash-ington Street and Powder Point. We see no piers, just a solitary catboat moored in the water. It would be a shame if individu-als shape the direction of our town so that one of our most

cherished views is marred. We believe the Conservation Com-mission prefers that objections to new projects come from abutters. However, the fact that the DRHS chose to photograph the Bluefish on the cover of its book makes us think that, when the discussion is about obstruct-ing a landmark scenic view, we residents and taxpayers should all be considered abutters. We hope the Conservation Com-mission will deny this applica-tion.

Kathy and Frank HarrisHarden Hill Road

At this time every year the Massachu-setts House of Rep-

resentatives debates its spend-ing proposal for the upcoming fiscal year. During this year’s debate, my colleagues across the aisle balked when Repub-licans offered two amendments that would roll the state sales tax back to five percent and repeal the sales tax on alcohol. Since last July, not only has a state and federal excise tax been lev-ied on alcohol products, but for the first time a 6.25 percent al-cohol sales tax was also imple-mented. This amounts to a tri-ple tax on alcohol. Ultimately, these added costs are all passed on to the consumer.

Once again parliamentary

maneuvering by Democratic leadership prevented an up or down vote on these tax issues. Instead, the proposals were sent to a “further study.” This is a procedure used far too often by House Democrats to avoid a vote on an underlying issue. Most Democratic lawmakers know the public is in favor of tax relief. However, they are not in favor of reducing taxes. They believe the voters won’t conclude they are not in favor of reducing taxes if they vote to “study” the issue rather than voting against tax reduction. I believe voters see clear through such maneuvers.

Families across Massachu-setts are struggling financially. The increase in the sales tax

and implementation of the tax on alcohol continue to cripple our economy. We need to cre-ate jobs and put people back to work. This will lead to the re-covery in our economy we all anxiously anticipate. Further taxation will only prolong eco-nomic improvement.

The reluctance of the ma-jority party to take up the issues that matter most to all of us is all too common in state govern-ment. It is a tell tale sign of the gaping divide between the ma-jority of lawmakers and those who elect them to office. With-out balance on Beacon Hill, the taxpayers of this state will con-tinue to be disenfranchised.

Arbor Day at Chandler

Chandler Elementary cel-ebrated Arbor Day with the help of the Community Garden Club and the Town of Dux-bury. The first grade students sang for parents on a beautiful April day and were each given a Frasier Fir to bring home to plant. The town of Duxbury donated an Ornamental Pear tree and DPW Director Peter Buttkus and Doug Dondero planted it near the kindergar-ten playground. The Chan-dler community would like to thank the Community Garden Club and the town for these generous gifts.

Jeanette McKenzie of the Community Garden Club tells the students about the importance of trees.

Lastly, we encourage all students of Chandler School to complete the short question-naire and art project that was

sent home via backpack. The questionnaire and team jersey art project provides a great way for our Chandler stu-dents to participate in bring-ing our “Team” theme to life. Your child’s artwork will add a personal touch and voice to this special week and will be collected and used for decora-tion throughout the school for all of the community to enjoy.The questionnaire and jersey can be found on the PTA Web site at chandlerpta.org.

Duxbury Idol to get studio time

Thanks to the Musicians Development Institute in Ce-darville, a world-class album production facility, music edu-cation and artist development center, this year’s Duxbury Idol winner will enjoy 10 hours of studio time with a producer/engineer. MDI is donating the grand prize for the 2010 Dux-bury Music Promoters event, a value of $550.

The facility houses more recording formats than any other studio in the world and outputs major label quality sound, with music education staff including graduates from Berklee College of Music and the New England Conserva-tory, and in-house producers and engineers with credits on platinum sellers and Billboard-charting artists.

As always, the audience will help decide who wins this prize, helping to narrow the field in the first and third rounds. All nine talented DHS vocalists have careers in music ahead of them if they wish, so the decision will be difficult.Duxbury Idol will be held at 7 p.m. this Saturday, May 8 at the Performing Arts Center.

Tickets will be on sale that night starting at 6 p.m., with doors opening at 6:30 p.m. Tickets are general admission, $8 for students and $10 for adults. The show is expected to run until about 10:30 p.m., and is recommended for fifth graders and above. Elemen-tary school students should be accompanied by an adult.

OPEN HOUSE FRI. 1-3, SAT. 1-4

Thespian Troupe 355 and Duxbury High School Drama performed “Orpheus De-

scending,” Tennessee Williams’ crush-ing critique of American values and hy-pocrisy this past weekend at the Good Knight Theater. American values, not “Southern” values? I’ll explain later.

Directors Patricia Weatherlow (fac-ulty) and James Gillis (student) crafted a tense, compact, and hard-hitting pre-sentation that challenged both cast and

audience. Both cast and audience met the challenge. The play had a brief run on Broadway in 1957, and is a re-framing of a failed 1940 Williams ef-fort, “Battle of Angels.” Pat wisely and accurately warned the audience that the

play included the “N” word, and that Williams (and the DHS cast) fully in-tended its use to be offensive. The play is a stunning critique and admission of the horror of racism and racial violence, and most of all, the tragedy of institu-tional support of the horror.

Within the first few moments of the play, I had a minor epiphany: the cast’s excellent execution of the dialect of the deep South told me that these young Duxbury actors were portraying us, not some vaguely different “other” folks

SPRING SPECIAL

By mike Halloran, sports editor [email protected]

The ceremony for the 2008 and 2009 DHS Hall of Fame inductees takes place this Sat-urday night at the Plymouth Country Club in Plymouth starting at 6 p.m. with a social hour followed by a buffet din-ner and awards presentation.

This is the third induction ceremony for the hall in which some of the greatest names in the history of Duxbury High School will be honored. They include: Class of 2008 – Andy Bolster ’77, Matt Cushing ’84, Linda Renner Hartz ’80, Eric Arnold ’78 and Dave Seger ’99. The class of 2009 includes Jill Maxwell Townsend ’95, Victoria Fleming ’94, Kent Bolster ’78, Mickey Curley ’94 and Coach Reggie Clark 1983 thru 1993.

While Duxbury boasts one of the greatest high school ath-letic programs on the South

Shore, if not in Massachusetts, the Hall of Fame has received a lukewarm reception from the Duxbury school department and community.

The first ceremony that in-ducted Billy Curley, Jon Garri-ty, Steven Cass, Andy Downin, and Brad Colton was held at the Indian Pond Country Club in Kingston. While it was a spec-tacular social success, it was also a financial disaster for the Duxbury High School Boost-ers, costing the organization over $2,000.

It prompted the organiza-tion to hold the dinner every two years in hopes that induct-ing 10 athletes at once would draw a bigger crowd and be-come a major fundraiser for the boosters.

So far it hasn’t happened, as the second dinner also was a losing proposition.

The venue was moved this year to Plymouth in hopes that

the event could turn into a win-ning proposition for the boost-ers. However, with only a few days to go, the response has been disappointing with rela-tives and close friends making up the majority of the respond-ers.

The Hall of Fame idea was discussed for several years, as community sports fans clam-ored for a way to honor the greats they had watched for years. Now that the concept has been instituted, the lack of community interest may cause the event to be eliminated.

Athletic Director Thom Holdgate said the boosters can’t keep losing money on this, tak-ing away funds that are needed as budget cuts continue.

One aspect that has been disappointing is the lack of at-tendance from the DHS coach-es. Only a couple of coaches, past and present, have been at both events. Money raised by

the dinner goes directly to sup-port DHS athletics and the pro-grams of current coaches.

While the present coaches may not have been involved during the careers of the in-ductees, their own athletes will be coming up for nomination in the future and the cycle will continue.

If the hall is to survive, it is at a critical stage in its short life, where support from the Duxbury athletic community and school administration is key to its survival.

Tickets are still available and the event is open to the public. They can be obtained by contacting Sheila Tenaglia at 781-934-7225 or [email protected] or Tracy Burke at 781-934-6724 or 781-789-7139. You can also purchase tickets by sending a check to Tenaglia at 146 Bay Road, Duxbury, MA 02332.

Duxbury’s new track ven-ue is already making a name for itself, as it will host the Coaches Invitational Track Meet this Saturday starting at 10 a.m. This meet is the pre-liminaries to the State champi-onships that are being held on June 5.

There are qualifying stan-dards, so only the best athletes in the state will be attending this competition. Close to 900 athletes, 500 fans, and 200 coaches and officials will be on hand, so Duxbury residents are encouraged to come out

and support this major event.If track fans are interested

in volunteering to help out with the running of the meet, contact Coach Harry Taylor at [email protected].

The Dragons will have a solid contingent of athletes competing as well. They in-clude: Bobby Murphy (100m), Greg Auda (100m and 4x100m relay), Greg Bray (400m hur-dles), Jon McKinley (mile), Mike Sullivan (high jump), Morgan Dwinell (200m), Adam Martin (400m), Lu-cas Wojciechowski (2-mile), Shane Mackey (110m hur-dles), and Brett Sahlberg (long

jump). Duxbury could have more competitors as others

still have a chance to attain state qualifying performances.

from somewhere else. Williams (and Troupe 355) didn’t let us off that easily. The players’ ready grasp of the Southern motif spoke volumes – we are connected, good or bad, across the na-tion.

The story is something of a mature pot boiler, powerfully but appropriately executed. Val, the classic “bad boy” with a guitar, a snake-skin jacket, and a past, floats into town and takes a job at a dry-goods store run by Lady, the frustrated wife of the store’s owner, Jabe Torrence. Jabe is harsh, demanding, and terminally ill. Lady is the daughter of an Italian immigrant who was killed in a fire of suspicious origin. We also learn, early on, that her marriage was a result of her being, somehow, on the rebound. Side comments by gossips that Jabe “bought her” in a “fire sale” later haunt us, as we ultimately learn (with Lady) that she had married, and lived with in abhorrent misery, one of the men who had burned her father’s business, killing him as he tried to save it from the flames. Jabe was one of the “Mystic Knights” who were punishing Lady’s father for selling illicit liquor to “N----s”

As the third act winds to its tragic climax, we learn that Lady, who has finally found love in Val’s arms, is pregnant by him. In a final act of horror, Jabe destroys her last shred of hope – that she has life in her, after everything – by shooting her down as she protects Val from Jabe’s attack.

Emma Farquharson portrayed Lady with power, soul, and beauty. Her slow “burn” as Lady slowly found herself, found love, and learned the truth about herself and her life was stun-ning, carried through the full three acts of the play.

Ian Spencer’s portrayal of Val carried all the slender good looks, provocative gentleness, and idle instability that the role requires. Without pandering, both he and Emma captured the growing passion of their characters’ relationship. Their disap-pearance behind the curtain of Val’s lair was, while tasteful, hot as a smoking pistol.

Brendan Davidson (Jabe Torrence) made his brief but cli-mactic moments on stage unforgettable. Jabe’s shocking physi-cal deterioration was exceeded by his moral degeneration, and Brendan carried it off splendidly.

Dani Jamieson played the wild, beautiful, and wise bad girl, Carol Cutrere, perfectly. Carol is something of a Southern debutant gone sour – a “dark” counterpart, perhaps, of Lady as Eurydice for Val’s Orpheus. Her character opens, connects, and closes the entire tragedy.

I wish I had space to mention all the other players – all were splendid. Their work left no space for the audience to hide from Williams’ ground-breaking tragedy. We can’t blame the brutality of racism and the other faults laid open by the play on “others.” Southern or not; the others are us.

There may have been four matches on last week’s sched-ule, but the only opponent the Dragons were focusing on was Hingham.

Having watched Hingham walk away with the Patriot League crown for the past few years, Coach John Bunar was optimistic that his Dragons had a good shot at putting an end to Hingham’s dominance. His optimism will have to be put on hold a little longer.

A 3-2 loss to the Harbor-men last Tuesday ended the Dragons’ opportunity to claim the league title outright.

A great performance by ju-nior Brayden Minahan at No. 1 singles gave Duxbury a 1-0 lead when he won in straight sets over Chandler Semien, 6-1/6-2. Also coming through big for Duxbury was undefeat-ed sophomore Peter Muncey at No. 2, who bested senior Sanjai Rau 6-2/3-6/6-2.

The match began to turn in doubles, as Duxbury’s Alex Holopainen and Max Cote were over-matched and lost in straight sets, while the No. 2 duo of senior captains Pete Tenaglia and Steve Day took a tough defeat in straight

sets 6-3/7-5 to make it 2-2.The clinching point for

the Harbormen came at No. 3 singles, as sophomore Par Rau defeated sophomore Connor O’Keefe in a three-set mara-thon match, 2-6/6-2/6-2.

The rest of the week was a breeze, as the Dragons cruised by Marshfield, Rockland, and Hanover by identical 5-0 scores.

Highlights of the matches included doubles victories

against Rockland by first dubs Mike Lattore and Erik Sch-neider (6-2/6-2) and Pat Ma-honey/Andrew Pierce winning 6-4/6-4.

Both Minahan and Muncey continue undefeated in league play, as they are locks at the one and two positions.

It is another busy week for the Dragons, who play four matches in five days including Friday’s tough encounter with Pembroke at home at 4 p.m.

There was little question it was payback time for St. John’s Prep.

The team that faced an undermanned Dragon squad and broke Duxbury’s 99-game winning streak against Mas-sachusetts high school teams last year, celebrated on Taylor Field as if they had won the state title. They would suffer the consequences at the end of the year when the defending state champs remembered the Eagles’ antics and beat them for the state title at Harvard Stadium.

If there was ever a team that wanted to rub it in the face of the Dragons, it was Prep, and they showed how to do it on Saturday night in Danvers.

Jumping out to a 1-0 lead at the 7:29 mark of the first quarter on a goal by Matt Sca-lise, the Eagles had their way with the Dragons, separating

themselves from the visitors after a Seamus Connelly goal tied it at 1-1.

Four more goals by the hosts in the last four minutes of the quarter would stun the Dragons, whose inability to win faceoffs and maintain pos-session would play right into the Eagles’ hands.

“Plain and simple. We just got outplayed,” said Duxbury Coach Chris Sweet.

There were certainly no ex-cuses from the Duxbury coach-ing staff, as they watched the monstrous St. John’s defense squash the Dragons up front and bounce them all over the field with a lineup that looked like the starting offensive line for the Eagles’ football team.

Goaltender Micky Za-verucha was under the gun for the rest of the half, as the St. John’s forwards found them-selves all alone on many oc-casions with shots a brick wall couldn’t stop.

Two goals in a 52-second span by junior Colin Black-well made it 3-1, and another tally by senior Bobby Galla-hue with 1:50 remaining sud-denly had Duxbury in a panic with a 4-1 deficit.

The hosts would get pos-session again as the first quar-ter crept towards a conclusion, and they worked the clock methodically before junior Jon

Farrow beat Zaverucha to his left for a 5-1 lead.

The Dragons have rarely, if ever, been in that position since the Sweet era started and how they reacted in the sec-ond quarter would decide their fate.

It didn’t take long, as ju-nior Jimmy O’Connell found himself all alone in the slot, taking a pass and turning un-contested on Zaverucha for a 6-1 lead at the 10:27 mark.

Goals by Farrow, Galla-hue, and Nick Marfongelli in the final six minutes would make it an unbelievable 9-1 before Duxbury’s Ricky Arm-strong broke the Eagles’ scor-ing streak at eight when he buried a shot at the buzzer.

“They just thoroughly out-played us in the first half,” said Sweet. “They came out and played harder and better than we did. It was the only way we could look at it.”

Sophomore Henry Buo-nagurio replaced a shell-shocked Zaverucha to start the second half and his de-fense wasn’t much better, as the Eagles rung up three more goals, the final one of the quar-ter by Lance O’Donovan, who cruised through the slot with plenty of time to pick his spot.

Facing an impossible 12-3 deficit after three quarters, it was time for the Dragons to save face and show their met-al.

Goals by Kane Haffey, Paul Hellar (2), and Armstrong closed the gap, but the damage

had been done and Prep estab-lished themselves as the team to beat come tournament time.

“I’m not about to say our kids came out flat, but I thought they came out ready to play,” said Sweet. “That was too big of a hole to dig ourselves out of. That is a good team we played and they came out and played flawless lacrosse in that first half and we didn’t do any-

thing to stop them. It was defi-nitely unfamiliar territory for our players.”

After taking on Whitman-Hanson at home Thursday af-ternoon at 4 p.m., the Dragons will get ready for another tough opponent when they tangle with Billerica next Tuesday at 5 p.m. in Duxbury.

There seemed to be a lot of anxiety when Carol Savi-no moved on from DHS to Norwood, taking along with her over 30 years experience coaching high school and col-lege softball.

Her replacement was Dux-bury resident Rod Laniewski,

whose daughters played in the program and has been an as-sistant for several years.

With five freshmen on the roster, it appeared Laniewski was in for a struggle in his rookie season as a head coach. Nevertheless, after 11 games it appears the new Duxbury coach has things in order.

A 3-2 extra-innings win over Marshfield got the team off to a good start last week, as freshman catcher Caroline McSherry (3 hits) stroked a single to right center, driving in senior Grace Kelso with the winning run in the bottom of the eighth inning.

Senior pitcher Laura Wal-ter had 13 strikeouts and al-lowed only four hits, while keeping Marshfield scoreless

after the fourth inning. Duxbury opened with a

1-0 lead in the second on a McSherry single and scored on a Marshfield error.

Marshfield took a 2-1 lead in the fourth on three consecu-tive hits, but Duxbury tied the score in the sixth after a Chris-tina Curley single and a Mc-Sherry hit.

Duxbury traveled to Rock-land last Wednesday and cre-ated some heat with a 13-4 victory on a cold and drizzly day.

The Lady Dragons took advantage of two walks, a cou-ple of errors and a Laura Wal-ter single to score three runs in the first inning.

They increased the lead to 4-0 in the third on a Cur-

ley double and a McSherry sac fly, and continued to pour it on in the sixth when Lindsey Cobb hit a long triple to drive in two more runs.

In the sixth Duxbury blew the game wide open when Cur-ley hit her first career home run, driving in Kelso who had walked. Curley hit her second home run of the game in the seventh inning scoring Erin Gallagher and Kelso. Curley finished with four hits on the day, including a pair of hom-ers, a double and a single for six RBI.

Walter earned the victory with eight strikeouts.

A perennially tough Ha-nover squad came to Duxbury on Friday and handed the Lady Dragons a 7-2 loss.

The Indians opened the scoring with a run in the first on two hits, but Duxbury took the lead in the third behind a double by Madi Duddy.

The score went back-and-forth, as Hanover scored two in the fourth for a 3-2 lead.

The real damage came in the seventh inning when Hanover put four runs on the board behind a couple of hits and some Duxbury fielding mistakes.

Walter took the loss, al-though she looked dominating at times striking out 12 Ha-nover batters.

The Lady Dragons will host Quincy on Wednesday af-ternoon at 4 p.m., followed by an afternoon game on Friday in Pembroke at 4 p.m.

The Duxbury High School sailing team traveled to Hyan-nis Yacht Club last month for a sectional qualifier for the New England Fleet Race Championships. The sec-tional qualifier, hosted by the Barnstable sailing team, had a field of 12 teams in the com-petition. Only the top three teams would qualify for New Englands the following day in Greenwich, Conn.

The day began with a solid breeze out of the north, but the conditions were shifty with the breeze coming direct-ly off the land. Senior skipper Julia Leonard and junior crew Ian Grant began in the A divi-sion and sailed consistently all day.

Sailing in the B division was sophomore skipper Ian White and senior crew, Mor-gan Gould. The pair started well, but really began to sail effectively at the end of the day, finishing with two first-place finishes in their final set.

Overall the team finished third, qualifying for the New England Fleet Race Champi-onships in Greenwich, CT the next day.

Indian Harbor Yacht Club in Greenwich was the host club, but they couldn’t produce prime conditions for sailing. With rain, a light breeze, and a cold front passing through, it made for a difficult afternoon.

As the day went on, the wind began to build with large shifts throughout the extreme-ly long course. The racing was so close that there wasn’t any room for mistakes.

Leonard and Ali Garran began in A Division with Grant switching in as the wind built. Half way through the day ju-nior Al Shane and sophomore Brendan Keohan switched in to end the day. All the team members sailed hard in the competitive A fleet. White and Gould sailed steadily in B Division all day but were not able to replicate their success from Saturday. Hadley Burn-ham and Garran switched into

B-Division and finished the day on a strong note, posting top five finishes in both races.

At the end of the day the team finished in 11th place, failing to qualify for nation-als.

The Dragons finish their

season in a couple weeks and are currently in 11th place in the NESSA team race stand-ings and has a good shot at qualifying for Wild Card Weekend: a last minute quali-fier for Team Race New Eng-lands.


There was concern when the season started that Coach Barney Earle would have some problems scoring runs after graduating a huge part of his batting order.

With captains Matt Savard and Pat McWilliams the only proven hitters, it was impor-tant that a host of returnees who saw limited action in 2009 would step up to the plate in a big way and provide Duxbury with some needed punch.

So far, everyone seems to be contributing.

With 28 runs scored in the last three games and 72 on the season in nine games, this year’s squad is on course

to better last year’s 172 runs in 22 games.

Earle knew he had the pitching in the Blout brothers and Sam Jacobsen, but having a lineup that is averaging eight runs per game is way beyond his expectations.

Last Wednesday the Drag-ons got the perfect combina-tion of both, as senior captain Jeff Blout fanned 14 Rockland batters while only allowing three hits.

McWilliams continued to torch Patriot League pitching, as the senior went deep for a two-run home run and knocked in three runs in the 9-1 rout of Rockland.

Junior catcher Joe Coyne had a big game behind the plate and at it, as he went 3 for 3 with a pair of RBI and Pat Sweeney also had two hits, raising Duxbury’s record to 5-2.

It was a wild scene on Friday afternoon in Hanover, as the wind was blowing and balls just kept on rolling.

Senior Steve Blout was on the mound for the Dragons and found himself trailing the Indians by a 3-0 score after

three innings due to a two-run RBI triple by Hanover’s Greg Divine in the third inning.

Fortunately for Blout, his teammates responded with six runs in the top of the fourth: the two big hits being supplied by senior Tom Kazanowski (2 RBI) and McWilliams (2 RBI)

that put the Dragons ahead 6-3.

The lead didn’t last long, as Hanover tied it up in the fifth inning, only to see the Duxbury bats catch fire again with five more runs in an 11-6 win.

Sweeney continued to

swing a hot bat going 2 for 4 with 3 RBI, while senior Greg O’Neal was 3 for 4.

The Dragons will travel to Quincy on Wednesday after-noon for a 4 p.m. game with the Presidents and return home on Friday afternoon to take on the Pembroke Titans at 4 p.m.

Murphy to be honored

Long-time Dux-bury HS base-ball coach Dave

Murphy (34 years) will be honored posthumously on Friday night, May 7, at Chandler Field prior to the boys’ varsity baseball game with Pembroke that starts at 6 p.m. Murphy passed away last year.

All Duxbury Youth Baseball players and their families are invited to at-tend, along with Murphy’s family and his former play-ers. DHS will also be hon-oring its senior players that night as well. The Dragons will be wearing pink tee shirts in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month.

The Duxbury girls’ tennis team is back to its winning ways after a pair of losses to two of the toughest teams on its schedule.

A 5-0 shutout by Hingham prior to school break, and a 4-1 win by Marshfield upon their return left the Lady Dragons with a 3-2 record.

The week ended on a posi-tive note when Duxbury took care of Rockland (5-0) and Hanover (4-1) to raise its mark to 5-2 before this week’s busy stretch that has them playing four matches in five days.

Michaela Dowd proved she is the Lady Dragons’ No. 1 player when she defeated Marshfield’s Leah Kelly, 6-4/6-0, at No. 1 singles to get her teammates off and run-ning. Unfortunately the run-ning turned into a jog, as it would be Duxbury’s only win in the match.

Cory Tucker looked like she would join her teammate in the win column after win-ning her first set, 6-2, but Em-ily Henrikson recovered to win the second set, 6-4, before pulling out the third set by the identical score for the victory.

Casey Reinhart had her hands full at No. 3 singles, dropping her match in two sets, 3-6/3-6 to the Rams’ Charlotte Janda.

Erin Nelson and Julia Al-len looked like they were on their way to a big win at No. 1 doubles after beating Ashley Fidler and Taylor Koelsch, 6-4, in the first set. However, the Marshfield duo hung tough for a 6-4 second set win before walking off with a victory by taking the third set, 6-2.

Therese Kozmiski and Ni-cole Hanrahan fell to Marsh-field’s Jen Vorel and Olivia White, 2-6/3-6 in second dou-bles.

“Although it didn’t rain, the sun didn’t shine on the Duxbury girls this afternoon,” said Duxbury Coach Jutta Rossano. “It was a hard loss

to take because at one point it was one set each at first doubles and second singles. Michaela played a dominant game and was first off the courts to cheer the rest of the team on. She was our only win of the day. All the girls played well and they are ready for a rematch.”

The team caught a break on Thursday when they took on an inexperienced Rockland team, allowing the Bulldogs to win just two games in 10 sets.

Dowd beat Courtney Star-key, 6-0/6-0, while Tucker was equally proficient at No. 2 singles in shutting out Julie Nutting, 6-0/6-0.

Reinhart had an easy win over Taylor Benson, 6-1/6-0, at No. 3 singles, while the No. 1 doubles team of Kozmiski and Allen beat Emily Vie-ga and Caaris Nelson by the same score (6-0/6-1).

Lilly Weil got her chance to play with Nicole Hanrahan at No. 2 doubles where they walked away with a shutout over Jacqui Ward and Lauren Turner, 6-0/6-0.

The lower part of the or-der provided all the firepower in Friday’s 4-1 win over Ha-nover.

Dowd had tough compe-tition with Hanover’s Nicki White, dropping the first set, 4-6, then watching her oppo-nent blow her away in the sec-ond set, 6-0.

Tucker had the marathon match of the day against Caro-line Coogan, winning the first set in a tie-breaker, 6-6 (7-5), before losing the second set, 6-2. Because of time restraints, the final set was a 12-point match won by Tucker, 7-5.

After that it was all Dux-bury, as Reinhart knocked off Cara Ahern, 6-0/6-1, at No. 3 singles.

Doubles proved just as easy, as Weil and Allen dis-posed of Hayley Greland and Laura Kenney, 6-0/6-1 at No. 1 doubles, and Kozmiski and Hanrahan took care of Lindsey Tomasetti and Nora Ghostlaw, 6-1/6-2 at No. 2

“Casey Reinhart was bare-ly on the court and walked off triumphantly with a quick match, while both our doubles teams also had fast and confi-dent wins,” said Rossano.

On Wednesday afternoon the girls will entertain Quincy at 4 p.m., before traveling to Pembroke for a 4 p.m. match with the Titans on Friday.

Duxbury Youth Baseball, in conjunction with the Dux-bury Recreation Department and the board of selectmen, will unveil a plaque dedicat-ing Field 2 at Sinnott Park to Ralph Sarro. The dedication, commemorating the contri-butions of Ralph Sarro to DYB will be held on Satur-day, May 8, at 12:30 p.m. at Sinnott Park located behind the Tarkiln Center on Rte. 53,

Summer Street.Through the efforts of

DYB and the Town of Dux-bury, the two playing fields, the Jerry Dewing Field and the Ralph Sarro Field, have been reconfigured and re-furbished for the start of the 2010 season. The dedica-tion ceremony is open to the public and all are invited to attend.

Sarro Field dedication May 8 Charlotte Cipolletti (DHS ‘11) and Oliv-ia McCarthy (DHS

‘11), members of the Duxbury High School girls’ lacrosse team, have been selected to represent Eastern Massachu-setts and Rhode Island at the 2010 Women’s Division Na-tional Tournament to be held at the Cedar Lane Sports Park in Bel Air, Maryland on May 29 and 30. Cipolletti is a first-team selection and McCarthy is a second-team selection after be-ing on the third team in 2009.

Cipolletti and McCarthy

participated in two tryouts for the team that were held in April at Harvard University and Governor’s Academy. Over 200 sophomores and juniors from Eastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island represent-ing public, private, indepen-dent and preparatory schools attended the event. The top 60 sophomores and juniors were selected for three teams after two tryout sessions.

The Women’s Division National Tournament began in 1933 as a tournament to show-case the best post-collegiate

and club women’s lacrosse players. Since that time, it has grown into one of the largest women’s lacrosse events in the nation and features four levels of play, including Schoolgirls, Senior Only, Regional Club, and Stars & Stripes divisions. It is a true celebration of women’s lacrosse and continues to repre-sent the heartbeat of the game. Tournament highlights include division championships, a U.S. Team exhibition, the High School All-Star game and a premier recruiting opportunity for high school players.

The Duxbury Free Library is honored to present poetry notables, Ottone M. Riccio and Dolores Stewart Riccio for a special celebration of their 40 year poetic journey. On Wednesday, May 12 at 7 p.m. in the Duxbury Free Library’s Merry Room, Ottone and Do-lores will read from “On Pain of Discovery,” “Doors to the Universe” and other works. Since 1967, Ottone M. Riccio

facilitated poetry and fiction workshops in Massachusetts and Rhode Island. His po-ems have appeared in numer-ous literary journals and po-etry chapbooks. His popular textbook, The Intimate Art of Writing Poetry is still be-ing sold worldwide. Dolores Stewart Riccio’s poems have also appeared in well known journals over the years. Her collection, “Doors to the Uni-

verse” was published last year by Bellowing Ark Press. She is also the author of the Circle Series, six novels of suspense, set in Plymouth, Massachu-setts, and several cookbooks featuring healthy foods. Do-lores and Ottone are now re-siding in Duxbury. For more information, call the library at 781-934-2721 x108.
