Duxbury Clipper 2010_16_06

The percentage of Dux-bury students engaging in “risky behavior” has decreased slightly over the past couple of years, although the statistics regarding suicide in particular are still troubling to adminis-trators.

The School Health Advi-sory Council presented their findings to the School Com-mittee on last Wednesday night. The 18-member group,

composed of parents, school staff and students, was tasked with analyzing the results of the spring 2009 Youth Risk Behavior Survey and compar-ing the data to information from 2005 and 2007, as well as state and national statistics.

Guidance counselor Mau-ra O’Rahilly and Head Nurse Kathy Carney told the school board that the group found the changes in risky behavior small, but moving in the right direction.

By unanimous vote on Monday, the Board of Select-men approved the introduction of Verizon’s FiOS television to Duxbury.

FiOS television may be available to certain residents by the end of the week, ac-cording to Verizon representa-tives.

Since last year, Verizon New England, Inc. has been wiring Duxbury to ready the town for its fiber-optic com-munications network called FiOS. This is a bundled com-

munications service offering Internet and telephone service in addition to television.

Selectmen first heard that Verizon planned to bring FiOS to Duxbury in January 2009. Since that time, the town’s Cable Advisory Committee and its consulting attorney for cable television, Bill Hewig, of Kopelman and Paige of Boston, have been in negotia-tions with Verizon to hammer out a licensing agreement.

On Monday, Selectmen voted unanimously to approve the licensing agreement, which

A. If you have the test kit that uses the bottles of OTO for the Chlorine and the Phenol Red for the pH tests, yes you need to replace these each year. If you use the DPD tablets for the Chlorine test, replace these every 3 years as well as the Chlorine Neutralizer (No.4) bottle. (Note - if you bring us a quart sample of your pool water - after the filter has been running for at least 48 hrs. - we'll run a complete test with our ACCU-SCAN water analyzer.)

Duxbury has reached an important next step in the push to bring a municipal wind tur-bine to town.

The Mass. Clean Energy Center (formerly known as the Mass. Technology Collabora-tive) granted Duxbury $65,000 to fund a full feasibility study, according to Duxbury Alterna-tive Energy Committee mem-ber Jim Goldenberg.

The center had initially given Duxbury a grant for a site assessment, which identi-fied some locations in town where a windmill could con-ceivably be located –– includ-ing the land between the DPW yard behind town hall and North Hill, which committee members say is the most likely spot.

“The conclusion of that study was that there were in fact some possibilities for a wind turbine in Duxbury,”

said Goldenberg. “This is the second stage of our feasibility efforts.”

Sustainable Energy Devel-opments, or SED, the company that helped Duxbury prepare the grant application, will be conducting the study. Golden-berg said the group will look at more specific factors such as wind speed, acoustics, trans-portation and interconnect is-sues.

He said this is the stage where a temporary measuring tower, known as a MET tower, may be used, but that hasn’t been determined yet. Within the next couple of weeks, the town and SED should be sign-ing the contract for the study. The study itself may take up to a year.

Voters at this year’s annual Town Meeting passed a bylaw that paves the way for a mu-nicipally-owned windmill, but it may still be years before one gets built. The bylaw merely

outlines the process, which is through a special permit grant-ed by the Planning Board. Even if the feasibility study shows a municipal turbine is a possibility in Duxbury, fi-nancing would still need to be obtained, either through Town Meeting or a third party. Duxbury could be eligible for additional grants if the wind-mill reaches the construction phase.

“We’re all excited that we received the grant. It speaks to the applicability of this kind of a thing in Duxbury,” said Goldenberg.

Wind power can provide Duxbury with significant sav-ings in its annual electricity costs. A $1.25 million invest-ment in a wind turbine would yield $150,000 in annual sav-ings and would be paid back in approximately six years, according to the group’s Web site, duxburywind.com.

Q: What does RIDE PHAT stand for?

A: It stands for Protect your Head at All Times and is borrowed with permission from a program that was start-ed in the Burlington, Vermont area by Dr. Robert William of the UVM Medical Center and his wife, Karen Williams. The Vermont campaign is primar-ily focused on snowboarding and skiing and is very popu-lar at many ski mountains. The National Ski Patrol has just adopted it as well which is impressive because of how picky they are about what they endorse. Kids use the phrase “ski phat” and “ride phat” to reference the use of helmets on the ski mountains and it has made a positive impact, something we hope happens in Duxbury.

Q: What will happen during this campaign?

A: Starting on Monday, June 21, the Duxbury Police Department and other author-ity figures like sailing instruc-tors at DBMS and DYC will be given $2 coupons (good at Benchwarmers, Duxbury Piz-za, Far Fars, French Memories, Scoops or One) they can hand out to anyone they see wear-ing a strapped-on bike helmet while biking, skateboarding, scootering or anything else on wheels. The helmet must be strapped on to get a cou-pon. Also, kids will get a $2 coupon when they purchase a Bern helmet from either Go Big Boarding or the Surf Shop in Kingston.

Q: Do the kids keep the coupon after?

A: No, they turn in the coupon because it is also a raffle ticket. The person signs the back of the card with their name and phone number and turns it into the store of their choice. The coupons must be redeemed in full at the time of the purchase.

Q: When is the final raf-fle?

A: Although we want the RIDE PHAT program to

continue through the fall and even winter with kids getting coupons for wearing a hel-met while skating outdoors or sledding and then again next summer. The raffle drawing for this summer’s initiative will be held on Aug. 19 at the DAA Skateboard event at the Ellison Center for the Arts. The raffle prizes will include Bern helmets, a skateboard, a Trek bike, Red Sox tickets and more prizes that we will pro-cure by then.

Q: Why are you doing this?

A: We know from the few serious car-bike accidents in Duxbury that wearing a helmet can save your life and can also save you from serious trau-matic brain injury. We know of one boy from town who was skateboarding in his own driveway, while living in an-other state, and fell the wrong way and died from his injuries. Statistics can be boring, but they show that helmets are key in saving people’s lives in bad bike and skateboard accidents and that most car-bike acci-dents happen on quiet neigh-borhood streets.

Q: How can people help out?

A: People can help out by wearing their helmets. We feel strongly that many parents put helmets on their kids but not on themselves and this sends a bad message. It would be like having your kids wear a seat-belt but not wearing one your-self. Helmets are your “armor” and the only thing protecting you if you fall off your bike or skateboard. For some rea-son, it seems that many people think it can’t happen to them, but it really can and it can change your life forever.

Q: How are you funding this initiative?

A: We are raising money directly from the citizens of Duxbury. We did not expect or want the businesses where the coupons are used to be ex-pected to donate their product, since they are asked to do so

by many organizations in town already. We had a clear vision that this was to be funded by local townspeople and, so far, the reaction has been very positive. In order to make this program work, though, we do need more funding so that we can give out as many coupons as possible.

People can donate by send-

ing a check to RIDE PHAT, P.O. Box 2178, Duxbury, MA 02331. Any size donation at all would be appreciated. This program is being run on a tight budget but will happen, thanks to all the people in town who have already donated. Also, for the final raffle, we would like to be able to offer tickets to more sporting events, like the Patriots or Bruins. If any-one has access to tickets con-tact Selden Tearse at 781-934-5452.

DRHS ‘letterboxing’ projectThe Duxbury Rural and Historical Society is pleased to an-

nounce a new “letterboxing” project. Letterboxing is a nation-wide, family-oriented hobby that

combines elements of a scavenger hunt, hiking and puzzle solv-ing in a unique activity that is growing in popularity. There are more than 22,000 letterboxes hidden in the U.S. today, but they can only be found if one follows the proper clues. The Duxbury Rural and Historical Society has decided to join in on the fun and will soon be hiding 10 letterboxes around Duxbury. The boxes will be hidden at several historic sites and open-spaces so that, while enjoying the search, participants can also learn about Dux-bury’s history. The letterboxes will be in place on June 22.

The origin of letterboxing can be traced to Dartmoor, Eng-land in 1854 when a well-known Dartmoor guide placed a bottle for visitors’ cards on the moor. Later, hikers on the moors began to leave a letter or postcard inside a box along the trail (some-times addressed to themselves, sometimes a friend or relative)—hence the name “letterboxing.” The next person to discover the site would collect the postcards and mail them.

Today, letterboxing involves finding small, weather-proof boxes hidden in parks and other public places. Individual letter-boxes contain a notebook and a rubber stamp. Finders make an imprint of the letterbox’s stamp on their own personal “logbook” and leave an impression of their personal stamp on the letter-box’s “visitors’ book” as proof of having found the box.

Clues leading to the DRHS letterboxes will be posted on the Society’s website, www.duxburyhistory.org along with detailed instructions on how to participate (i.e. supplies needed, etc.). Those who manage to discover all 10 letterboxes should bring their stamped log books to the DRHS main office at the Nathan-iel Winsor, Jr. House, 479 Washington Street (Monday-Friday 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.) to receive a letterboxing t-shirt as a prize.

For more information, call the DRHS at 781-934-6106 or e-mail [email protected].

efore moving to their contemporaryapartment at Allerton House at TheVillage at Duxbury in 2007, Joseph

(Joe) McDermott and his late wife,Barbara, were separated from their twodaughters and two of their grandchildrenby a four-hour drive from Howard Beachin Long Island, New York to Boston’sSouth Shore. Although their son, Jamesand his family remain in Long Island,daughters Barbara and Dorothy are nowjust minutes away in Duxbury andKingston. Joe says, “We actually came andlooked at the place back in 2005. “One ofour sons found out about it and thought itwould be great for us. When we finally didmove almost three years later my wife wasvery happy here.”

Always an athlete, Joe excelled in baseballduring high school and college, and

landed a job in 1940 atPfizer Inc. as a result of hisbaseball talents. He recalls,

employee loyalty and provideentertainment back then.” As it turned out,Joe worked for Pfizer for 44 years until heretired in 1984.

Joe also served in the United States AirForce for four years. Being drafted intomilitary service actually led to hisrelationship with, and ultimately hismarriage to Barbara. He explains, “I wasseeing someone else when I left to serve inthe military, but she wrote me a ‘DearJohn’ letter. My older brother’s wife toldme about a friend of hers who would behappy to correspond with me. That friendturned out to be my ‘Babs’. She was anangel.” He got back to the States in 1946,proposed to Barbara on Christmas Eve,and the two were married just six monthsafter his return.

Joe recently celebrated his 91st birthdayand is happy to report that he enjoysspending time with friends and engagingin the variety of activities available atAllerton House—most notably the onesthat keep his athletic skills sharp.He says, “We have all sorts of activities.For example, I enjoy the Fitness Center.I usually participate in the chair exerciseclass and I like to shoot baskets.”

He was raised and educated in Weymouth and was a graduate of Bentley College. He lived in Ha-nover several years and in Norwell for over 35 years before moving to Duxbury last year. He was the retired chief financial officer for W.G.L., the publisher of Bankers and Tradesmen. Mr. Collins was the past Commodore of the North River Yacht Club.

Louis F. Eaton Jr., 91, died on May 26 in Cohasset of complications due to multiple myelo-ma.

Mr. Eaton was born on December 20, 1918, in Annap-olis, Md. to Marga-ret and Louis Eaton. He was the eldest of six children.

Mr. Eaton earned his diploma from Brockton High School at the age of 16. He took a post-grad year at Deerfield Academy and entered Amherst Col-lege, graduating Phi Beta Kappa, with a double major in economics and history in 1940. He loved Amherst and participated fully in academ-ic, athletic, and political activities as a member of Chi Phi, Debating Council, Political Union, Student Council, and sports—soccer, golf and tennis.

He began his studies at Harvard Law School, anticipating his degree in 1943. However, World War II intervened, and in the spring of 1941, he enlisted. He was sent to the US Naval Reserve Midshipmen’s School, and in 1942 he was awarded the New York Yacht Club Sword for excellence in navigation and seamanship and became a Commissioned Ensign.

On May 13, 1942, Mr. Eaton married Eliza-beth Ferguson of Pittsfield, N.H., class of 1941 at Mount Holyoke College, and they enjoyed more than 50 years of marriage before she passed away in 1993.

He taught ship handling to Russian officers and crew at the Sub Chaser Training Center in Miami. Between 1944 and 1945 he fitted out several ships and was assigned as Command-ing Officer of convoy escorts in the Aleutian Is-lands, based in Adak. He captained a succession of four 110-foot wooden sub chasers and later a PCE with 90 men, honing his leadership skills

and fueling his passion for naval history. Dis-charged in 1945, Mr. Eaton then returned to law school. He moved his young family to Cohasset in 1946 where he lived for the rest of his life.

Mr. Eaton was admitted to the Massachu-setts Bar in 1947 and joined Hutchins & Wheel-er, the oldest law firm in Boston. He practiced general and estate law until he retired in 1986, though he continued to serve as a trustee and as an Arbiter with the American Arbitration Asso-ciation for the next 20 years.

For more than half a century Mr. Eaton sub-scribed to Friday afternoon concerts of the Bos-ton Symphony Orchestra, and was a member of the Boston Museum of Fine Arts and the New England Historic Genealogical Society. He was also a member of The Mayflower Society and Mensa, and a Proprietor of the Boston Athenae-um.

Mr. Eaton served many positions in Co-hasset town government, including Chairman of the Advisory Committee, Transportation Committee, and for 40 years a Designee to the MBTA Advisory Board (1965-2005). He was a member/president of numerous civic organiza-tions including the Community Fund, Dramatic Club, Golf Club, Historical Society, American Field Service, and Old Goats.

Mr. Eaton leaves his wife Robin L. Eaton, whom he married in 1994; his daughters Eliza-beth “Sunny” Steadman of Duxbury and Debo-rah Peck and her husband, Raymond, of Wash-ington, D.C.; step-son William Lord and his wife, Nan, of Seattle, Wash.; steph-daughter Donna Roberts, of West Lebanon, N.H; grandchildren, David Steadman (DHS 1998) Sarah Peck and Catherine and Rebecca Roberts; siblings Allan Eaton of Duxbury, David Eaton of Sandwich, N.H., Margaret Koerner of Woodstock, Conn., Mary Abigail Mott of Topsham, Maine, and the late Robert Eaton, of Sandwich, NH.

A celebration of life service was held June 12 at the First Parish Church in Cohasset.

Richard Stetson Ellis, 84, died in his sleep at home on June 2, 2010. Son of the late Leslie C. Ellis and the late Ruth S. (Bryant) Ellis, Mr. Ellis was born in Braintree and raised in Rock-land. A member of the Rockland High School Class of 1944, Mr. Ellis left school before grad-uation to enlist in

the U.S. Navy during World War II. He served in the Pacific as a signalman on the USS LCI(L)-969. Upon his return from the war, he worked at Arnold’s Machine Shop on Liberty Street in Rockland. He ran a side business from home, re-finishing antique furniture. He attended classes at Wentworth Institute in Boston.

Mr. Ellis met and married Barbara M. (At-kinson) Ellis of Rockland in the late 1940’s. They designed and built a house on Washing-

ton Street in Pembroke and settled there in the early 1950’s. They raised two daughters, Linda and Jane. It was during this time that Mr. Ellis started his electrical contracting business. When his marriage ended in divorce in 1977, Mr. Ellis moved to Duxbury. He continued in the electri-cal trade, operating out of his home on Church Street. Famous for the quality of his work, he was still working at the time of his death, doing smaller jobs and repairing lamps while referring larger jobs to his grandson, also a master electri-cian. Mr. Ellis was in business for himself for sixty years.

Mr. Ellis leaves his daughters, Linda M. El-lis of Rockland and Jane Ellis of Duxbury; a grandson, Christopher J. Ellis of Pembroke; and two great-grandchildren, Kingston E. and Lucia M. Ellis of Pembroke.

Friends and family are invited to a memorial service on Wednesday, June 23, 2010, at 7 p.m. at First Church in Pembroke, 105 Center St. Burial at Marshfield Hills Cemetery will be private.

A little Boy Scout history: The founder of Boy Scouts was Lord Baden-Powell. Be-fore founding the Boy Scouts, Baden-Powell served a con-siderable amount of time in the British cavalry, and he returned to his home country, England, as the best-known hero of the Boer War. Baden-Powell de-cided to use his newfound fame to create an organization to teach British boys to be-come men. This organization eventually made its way to America in 1910, named The Boy Scouts of America.

You may have noticed that 1910 is exactly one hundred years ago. This is relevant because this year the National Boy Scout Jamboree, a huge gathering of Scouts, will be celebrating the one hundredth anniversary of Scouting. The Jamboree events themselves

have been going on since 1937, when 27,232 scouts at-tended. This year the count is over 40,000. The most excit-ing part of it all is the fact that twenty Scouts from Duxbury Troop 62 and other Scouts from seven other towns from Old Colony Council are join-ing together to form Jambo-ree Troop 535, which will be attending the Jamboree trip July 24-Aug. 4. All of the separate Troops within Troop 535 are from the South Shore, and during our trip, we along with 40,000 other Boy Scouts will spend a full day touring in Washington D.C. and another ten days at the actual Jamboree at Fort A.P. Hill in Virginia.

On Memorial Day week-end, Troop 535 and a few other Jamboree Troops went to Camp Squanto in Plymouth to practice setting up every-

thing that we will again set up at the Jamboree. Other than our huge, painted entrance-way falling over in the wind, (oops!) everything went well. It looks like the Jamboree will turn out to be an unforgettable trip.

HEY GUYS

Boy scout news



The Zoning Board of Ap-peals didn’t even get to fully discuss the case because of a posting issue. However, what little was said on Thursday evening during the Planning Board’s appeal of a building permit issued to 52 Sunset Road exposed a deep rift be-tween the two boards.

Building Inspector Scott Lambiase issued a building permit to Peter and Laura An-nicelli of 52 Sunset Road on April 13. However, the Plan-ning Board is appealing the decision, saying the building violates the definition of an accessory structure. The case is emblematic of the Planning Board’s growing concern over accessory buildings on proper-ties around town that are ap-parently in violation of a town bylaw limiting what can be done with a second building on a property.

Before the hearing got underway, however, attorney Paul Driscoll, representing the Annicellis, said he believed the hearing wasn’t properly no-ticed and therefore shouldn’t be discussed.

“As far as we’re con-cerned, this is the wrong ap-peal filed at the wrong time,” Driscoll said. “The Planning Board is seeking a platform to continue their multi-month so-liloquy about accessory build-ings.”

He added that construction on the building was already 95 percent complete, and that the appeal was a burden on the ho-meowners.

“This is a non-meritorious and costly appeal which has been initiated in total disregard of the rights of Mr. And Mrs. Annicelli,” Driscoll wrote in a letter that was submitted into the record but not discussed on Thursday. “After going public with their position, but having failed to convince the director of inspectional services and the Zoning Board of Appeals of the merits of their viewpoint, the Planning Board for its own purposes has now recklessly thrust the Annicelli family into the middle of an administra-tive, yet personal dispute.”

The hearing was contin-ued until sometime in July, but people on both sides of the issue were determined to have their say. Planning Board members insisted the issue wasn’t personal, but part of a larger problem in town where the accessory building bylaw is being misused.

“The Planning Board is not pursuing the applicant or contractor but does think that the process for review of an application was not followed, and that decisions were made by the Building Department that should have been made

by the Board of Appeals,” said Planning Board member John Bear in a written statement. Bear also pointed out that it was his board’s understanding at an April 5 administrative meeting of the ZBA that this particular building permit was going to be denied and that the applicant would have a chance to appeal.

The issue of accessory buildings spilled over into the next hearing, which concerned Griffin Publishing’s attempt to raze an existing garage and build a new one with office space at 21 Chestnut Street. At prior hearings, both the Planning Board and ZBA had expressed concern over the applicants desire to include temporary overnight housing for Griffin’s sales staff in the new building. However, new plans presented on Thursday night by engineer Mark Casey showed only office space.

“Nobody will be occupy-ing any rooms as bedrooms, ever,” said Casey.

However, Planning Board members still had concerns about the use of the building.

“It was a bona fide two bedroom, two bath apart-ment,” said Bear of the old plans. “Changing the words on a plan doesn’t change its potential.”

Casey said it wouldn’t make sense financially for someone to apply for a spe-cial permit, then use it for the wrong thing and risk getting it revoked.

“Who in their right mind

would put themselves in that position,” he said.

ZBA member Michael Gill said the board could only go by the plans before them, which showed no bedrooms.

“We can’t put our opinions on someone else’s plans,” he said.

ZBA member Judi Barrett said the bylaw on accessory buildings was causing confu-sion and should be rewritten.

“We owe it to the people who live in this town and the people who do business in this town ... that the bylaw be clear,” she said.

Town Planner Tom Broa-derick said that the issue of multiple buildings on a single lot was an important one to clarify.

“It’s Duxbury because we don’t do this kind of stuff,” he said. “We don’t put multiple structures on one lot.” he said.

The Griffin case was con-tinued to June 26.

“The committee felt that it was significant that every sta-tistic showed a positive trend ... small changes, but going in a positive way,” said Carney.

At the middle school, the most recent survey was con-ducted with 463 students from grades seven and eight. Eighty percent of those students have never touched alcohol, com-pared with 70 percent in 2007. Ninety-two percent have nev-er tried a cigarette (compared to 84 percent in 2005) and 92 percent have never used mari-juana, compared to 88 percent in 2007.

The study not only asks students about their behavior, but their beliefs. For example, 81 percent of middle school students think having one or two drinks of alcohol a day is a great risk and 94 percent be-lieve their parents would feel it is wrong for them to drink.

The number of students who believe smoking marijua-na is wrong decreased slightly, and School Committee mem-ber Maureen Connolly asked if the new law decriminalizing smoking marijuana in public has had an effect, and Car-ney and O’Rahilly said they weren’t sure.

The group also found a decrease in the use of head protection while rollerblading or skateboarding, but Carney pointed to a new parent-led initiative to encourage more helmet use in town.

One of the more troubling aspects of the survey, for all age groups, is the amount of students reporting suicidal feelings. Ten percent of DMS students said they have thought seriously about killing them-selves, and 8 percent reported making a plan. This part of the survey had a silver lining, however, as O’Rahilly pointed to 65 percent of students feel-ing like there was an adult at the school they could talk to

(as opposed to 55 percent in 2005). She felt the WEB men-toring program at the school is having a positive effect.

At the high school, the sui-cidal feelings numbers were similarly troubling. There, 11 percent of students reported an actual suicide attempt in the past year (in the 2009 survey) –– although Carney added that a related question, which asked if the attempt required hospi-talization, was a substantially lower number at 4 percent.

“I think it’s concerning re-gardless,” she said.

Another concerning num-ber to the School Committee was the number of students who said they’ve gotten in a car with someone who had been drinking – 30 percent in 2009. Fourteen percent said they had driven drunk.

O’Rahilly and Carney said they are hopeful that the advisory program, which just completed its first year at the high school, will start to have a positive effect on student be-havior.

O’Rahilly said there are questions in the survey that are meant to ferret out students not taking it seriously, but there were some questions from the committee about the accuracy of some of the statistics.

For example, 5 percent of high school respondents said they had brought a gun onto school property.

“That would be one that I would consider suspect,” said Vice Chairman John Hein-stadt.

The next step for the School Health Advisory Coun-cil will be to compare the Dux-bury statistics to national num-bers and figures from similar towns, which O’Rahilly said are not yet available.

New faces bring energy,

leadership

Duxbury has new faces in two important roles in town –– Police Chief Matthew Clancy and Superintendent of Schools Benedict Tantillo.

These two men come into town with a lot of expectations hanging over their heads, but from what we’ve seen so far, the future looks bright.

The search committees that brought both Tantillo and Clancy to town should be commended for their hard work and perceptive screening of the candidates. All of the finalists for both jobs seemed capable, but Clancy and Tantillo stood out heads above the competition.

Both men are walking into difficult situations. For Clancy, he himself admitted in last week’s interview that there are hurt feelings in the department over the ugly way former chief Mark DeLuca’s tenure ended. If the next chief had walked into that situation like a bull in a china shop, riding roughshod over the feelings of officers who have worked in this town for years and are invested in the community, it might have been a disaster.

But Clancy seems to have the right approach –– “relax” was, by his own admission, the most often-repeated word around the station during his first week. Clancy knows he must mend some fences before the department can move forward, but at the same time, he appears to be a confident leader who will put his own stamp on the force when the time is right. We are also encouraged by his eagerness to be the face of the new police station project –– a lack of leadership on that front certainly hurt past efforts to get a sorely needed new building.

Tantillo will be confronted with a school parent base that feels disaffected after a messy start time initiative and other missteps made some parents feel like their voices weren’t being heard. But coming from another state, Tantillo will have the benefit of starting from scratch. He won’t have any of the baggage of previous administrations bearing down on him and he seems like a dynamic leader who is willing to get creative. Getting the town unified behind the schools will become even more important as building projects loom. Also, how refreshing was it to hear him use an easily understandable football metaphor during his interview, rather than falling back on jargon only school officials understand like “21st Century Skills” or “rubrics”?

So, congratulations to Clancy and Tantillo. We wish them both the best of luck as they tackle the unique challenges Duxbury presents.

Sometimes we feel as though only negative things happen in to-

day’s world. We are constantly bombarded via the media with all the skepticism in today’s world. We are sometimes too timid to help others for fear of reprisal or becoming too in-volved and someone getting hurt if we help those in need.

But an interesting thing happened to my husband and myself Thursday evening, June 3. We were heading to the bac-calaureate at the First Parish Church. My husband just fin-ished stating, “You know, it’s a good thing we purchased this new car ...” when we heard that dreaded sound –– a flat tire. We were on Route 3 heading

south.As we pulled over to the

side of the road, the skies above us had thunderheads with the threat of downpour, the cars speeding past us made our hair blow in their wake. My hus-band had his head in the back of the car trying to figure out where the spare tire, jack, etc. were, as this is a new car. I might mention that my husband is arthritic and this task could be very daunting to him.

I looked up and there stand-ing beside us was a gentleman asking if he could help. He not only found the brand new equipment to change a tire, but unbolted the old one, replaced it with a new tire and did the complete change in less that 15

minutes.We told him where we

were heading and named our grandson. “Oh, I know David,” he said and much to our amaze-ment, he has twin daughters that are in the same graduating class. He was reluctant to tell us his name and refused to take any gratuity.

We were not late for the bac-calaureate thanks to the “good Samaritan,” who we found out is Mr. William Stenstrum.

Our thanks to this good Samaritan who had the time to stop and come to the aid of fellow travelers along the same road.

An act of kindness ——————————

I grew up with a hero. He was my maternal grandfather, William

Seach. He was awarded the Medal of Honor for his actions in the Boxer Rebellion in China in 1900. All of his grandchil-dren cheered as he marched at the head of Memorial Day and Fourth of July parades in Wey-mouth until well into his nine-ties. He and many other role models in Weymouth taught us rules of etiquette to show respect for the flag they fought under. My English-born grand-father loved his adopted coun-try. He loved the flag that rep-resented it and honored all the military men and women who died serving it. We grandchil-dren learned flag etiquette in public schools, it was a large part of our Cub, Brownie, Boy and Girl Scout training and our parents, aunts and uncles

drilled into our heads how we should show respect for “The Colors” as parades marched by. It was more than patrio-tism; it was a way to honor those who marched and fought as well as those who died in service to this nation; a way to remember too many sacri-fices. We were proud to hold our hands over our hearts or salute when wearing our uni-forms. Our civilian caps were always off as the flag went by, we stood erect and lumps were in our throats. On Memorial Day, I was saddened by the lack of respect shown for our great national flag. No one sa-luted it. Unit flags were often held higher than “Old Glory.” Our ensign was sometimes even allowed to touch the ground. It was treated to less honor than is often shown a Red Sox pennant. Parents are

to blame, schools are to blame and community leaders are to blame. If we show no honor to this beautiful emblem of our country, which symbolizes all who have served us, then we are beginning a slow slide into a complacency that will erode and eventually destroy our na-tional pride. The Fourth of July parade is fast approaching. Please take a minute to think about more than fireworks and floats. When our colors are carried past please stand, place your hand over your heart, and honor and remember all the ordinary folks who proudly served our flag in extraordi-nary ways. They served and protected; we should proudly remember and honor them in one of the few ways possible.

Welcome, Luke!

My name is Luke Cronin and I am intern-

ing at the Duxbury Clipper this summer. I was a 2009 DHS graduate and am a ris-ing sophomore in the Honors Program at Villanova Uni-versity. I have lived in Dux-bury for the entirety of my life, so working at the Clip-per provides me with the op-portunity to observe the inner workings of life in Duxbury. I look forward to becoming reacquainted with old friends and familiar spaces during this summer. I’m majoring in political science and English with a concentration in Rhet-oric. Naturally, the Duxbury Clipper is the perfect place for a person with my inclina-tions. I expect to learn a tre-mendous amount about jour-nalism this summer, which is

a welcome reprieve from the mania and hysteria of col-lege. I hope you enjoy my writing and I’d be more than welcome to exchange ideas

about my work. Thank you and I’ll see you around this summer!


By Marty DesMery

The litigation between the town of Duxbury and Johnson Golf has all of the ingredients for a good local drama: strong personalities, allegations of

misconduct by public officials, irate townsfolk wielding clubs, and some old-fashioned mud-slinging. Amidst all of the rhetoric, however, some residents may be wondering: Why does Duxbury own a golf course? What municipal purpose is being served? How can the town avoid future disputes over the management of North Hill? The answers to such questions may be found in the history of this unique property.

In 1635, a Duxbury resident named William Collier accepted title to a parcel of land “lying up in ye woods called by the name North Hill.” Over the centuries, significant portions of ye woods were converted into pastures and farmlands. In 1892, H.E. Merry immigrated to the United States from Nova Scotia at the age of 16. He served with the U.S. Army in the Spanish-American War, and then moved to Duxbury in 1900. “Hot” Merry organized Duxbury’s first fire department and served as its chief for 30 years. His family eventually purchased many acres of land at North Hill, where they raised dairy cows and grew corn “as high as a tall elephant’s eye.”

In the mid-1960’s, the Merry family converted a portion of North Hill into a nine-hole, semi-private golf course. In 1973, a Boston real estate developer acquired the golf course, plus another 200 acres of nearby land, for approximately $1.4 million. The developer planned to build 605 residential units on the site, but within two years the project ended in bankruptcy. Rather than allow another developer to convert North Hill into house lots, the town agreed to purchase the property for $756,000. At a Special Town Meeting in 1977, voters overwhelmingly sanctioned the purchase “for municipal purposes, such as recreation, future school sites, cemetery, etc. . . .” A subsequent vote to confirm and ratify the transaction limited the purpose of the land to “recreation, including a municipal golf course.”

Charles Dickow received the first management contract for the golf course. Three years later, the Gunnarsons began a 16-year run as managers. By the time Johnson Golf entered the picture in 1996, the seasons had taken their toll on the converted barn that had served as the clubhouse at North Hill for over 30 years. At the end of Johnson Golf’s first contract, the town decided to require the next manager to build a new clubhouse at its own expense. Johnson Golf submitted the winning bid, agreeing to build a clubhouse worth more than $400,000 and pay $1,000,000 to the town over 10 years. The days of operating North Hill as a low-key municipal course were over. Johnson Golf had made a significant investment in the property, and it needed to maximize revenues. The resulting changes in policies and procedures rankled many long-time golfers, but the town generally did not get involved as long as Johnson Golf fulfilled its financial commitments.

Johnson Golf filed suit in late 2009, alleging that the town conducted the process of awarding a new contract to a different manager in violation of the public bidding laws. Among other things, the litigation shows that money has become the most important issue with respect to North Hill. However, when the town bought the property a generation ago, the official purpose was “recreation, including a municipal golf course.” The acquisition was part of a broad “greenbelt” initiative, with supporters arguing that the value of the land as a water resource alone more than justified the price. The prospect of earning a little extra money from the golf course was an added bonus, not the driving force behind the town’s decisions.

Today, the golf course at North Hill is not a “municipal” recreation facility. The property is controlled by a private company, and the town has effectively assumed the role of a passive landlord. But imagine the possibilities if we reverted to the original mandate of “recreation” and North Hill became a community-based facility. Could the town manage the course itself, with an outside contractor handling only the turf-related services? Or perhaps we could craft a new contract that provides economic incentives for private managers to operate in a more civic-minded manner. Further study is necessary to determine if these are feasible alternatives, but the time to develop a long-range plan for North Hill is now. One way or another, the short-term problems with Johnson Golf will soon be history.

Mr. Desmery is a lawyer and a former member of the North Hill Advisory Committee (1999-2005). He lives with his family on Lund Terrace.

The consequences of an incestuous rela-tionship between

regulators and industry are evident in two recent disas-ters; will a nuclear reactor be next? April 5, 2010: An explo-sion at Massey Energy’s Upper Big Branch coal mine in West Virginia was the worst min-ing disaster in 40 years. It left 29 people dead. Massey had been allowed to operate over the years despite many safety violations – an indication that regulators and regulated had

become dangerously cozy. April 20, 2010: The Deepwa-ter Horizon oil rig blew up in the Gulf of Mexico, setting off what is now being called the worst environmental disaster in American history. Visiting the Gulf last week, President Ba-rack Obama spoke of a “scan-dalously close relationship” between federal regulators and oil companies. Will nuclear power be next? Three years ago, Obama called the NRC “a moribund agency that needs to be revamped and has become

captive of the industries that it regulates.” We have seen no visible progress on that front. This would be a good time to get started on that promise; because the consequences of a nuclear related accident result-ing from NRC regulators who have lost their mission could make the tragic mine disaster and the Gulf oil spill look like a walk in the park.

You might not be able to fight city hall, but you cer-

tainly can work with Duxbury Town Hall and the DHS main-tenance team to solve a prob-lem. On behalf of the Board of Directors at Duxbury Youth Softball and the hundreds of girls who participate in our spring and summer programs, a big thank you goes out to Doug Dondero, Thom Hold-gate, Donnie, Ed, and Jeff in the high school maintenance department and Jim Savonen

for their cooperation in swiftly identifying and alleviating an ongoing flooding issue at the Upper High School field. Was it a broken water pipe? Stuck sprinkler head? Simple grad-ing issue? Each option fell under a different jurisdiction and the potential for finger pointing was there. Yet the coordination and cooperation was extraordinary: Phone calls were returned, responsibil-ity was shared, promises were made and kept, and best of all, action was taken. It might not

seem like a big deal, but be-yond the safety issue, when you are a volunteer coach and you show up to your game at 5:30 p.m. only to find the same water issue you spent an hour on last night has returned, it can get a little frustrating. I wanted to offer up thanks with the same amount of energy we put into complaining about it! Guys, you are the best!

At a time when our government at all levels seems beset

with troubles, it is heartening to know that something has gone right. The Percy Walker Pool has reopened after ex-tensive renovations and it is fantastic. Duxbury can now be very proud of its beautiful Percy Walker Pool – a valu-able asset for generations to come.

Many people contributed their time, talent and hard work to make this project a reality. Kathy Coughlin, with vision and persistence, helped develop the plans and brought them to Town Meeting. She chaired the Percy Walker Long Range Planning Committee.

Gordon Cushing has guid-

ed the renovations through to completion on time and on budget. His tireless manage-ment of various contractors and complications was achieved in addition to his busy schedule

well done. Thank you!Brooks HolmesMassasoit Road

This past Sunday, the Standish Humane Society held an open house in honor of the 20th anniversary at their cur-rent location. Over 100 volun-teers, adopters, and friends of the Standish Humane Society were on hand to celebrate and view a commemorative tree planting.

“Planting a tree is a renew-able and rewarding way to cel-ebrate the 20th anniversary,” said Julie Salamone, President of the Standish Humane So-ciety. The Standish Humane Society recognized their forti-eth year of existence last year and their current shelter, the Holmes House, is named after one of the founders of the or-ganization, the late Duxburian,

Elizabeth Holmes.Founded in 1990, the Hol-

mes House is the only private animal shelter in Duxbury. Al-though the volunteers love ani-mals of all varieties, the shel-ter only houses cats. Currently, the Holmes Houses shelters and provides aid for 70 cats. The majority of the cats are be-tween the ages of two and four, but they do shelter older cats. The Standish Humane Soci-ety employs a “no kill” policy, which means that they do not euthanize any of their cats. When kittens are surrendered to the shelter, volunteers pro-vide a transitional foster home for these kittens. This provides the kittens with time to build up the necessary immunities that they might need within the Holmes House. The Standish Humane Society does not keep any of their cats within cages, rather, they allow them to frolic in any of the nine rooms within

the Holmes House. According to Elaine Richardson, a mem-ber of the Board of Directors, the setup “is a good way to determine how cats interact with one another.” The lack of cages creates a more intimate and playful atmosphere for the cats, while also providing an easy transition from the shelter to the home.

Shelter Director Julia Fratalia lives in the Holmes House and four members of the Standish Humane Society are employed as part time em-ployees. In addition to Miss Fratalia, the Standish Humane Society has 70 volunteers who contribute their time and mon-ey to the wellbeing of the cats. For example, the Standish Hu-mane Society has a reduced-

cost spay and neu-ter program. In an effort to reduce pet overpopulation, they sterilized 1,173 animals last year. However, in order to pay for the sterilizations, the Standish Humane Society had to subsidize $48,802. Shelter Direc-tor Julia Fratalia believes that the dedication of these volunteers extends

far beyond the time they spend at the shelter.

For some volunteers, the most difficult part of the job is the surrender process. In this economic climate, people are losing their jobs and their homes. Sadly, the family cat is often the first amenity to be jettisoned. Since the economic recession has begun, Nancy Cullen, a member of the Board of Directors, estimates that “surrenders have increased by roughly 25 percent.” One would also imagine that adop-tion rates have plummeted, but this is not the case. In fact, adoptions have significantly increased during the recession, from 220 cats in 2008 to 319 cats in 2009.

The increase in adoptions is remarkable, to say the least. There are many barriers to adoption, but these barriers exist to ensure safe and loving homes for the cats. In addition

to veterinary checks on the cats, all adopters must undergo a criminal background check and an interview. The Standish Humane Society maintains the right to refuse adoptions and they don’t allow adop-tions on the first visit. Don’t let these preliminary barriers dissuade you from adopting; the Standish Humane Society boasts the impressive statistic that one in every 10 callers gets approved for adoption. If you are interested in adopting a lovable, adorable cat, please call the Standish Humane Soci-ety at 781-834-4663 or log on to standishhumanesociety.com. Another way to support the Standish Humane Society is to attend “Dining For A Cause,” a Standish Humane Society benefit dinner on Wednesday June 23. The dinner is at the Ninety Nine Restaurant on 166 Church St. Pembroke. Contact the Standish Humane Society for more details.

Louie enjoys a cat nap during the open house. Over 300 cats like Louie were adopted from the Holmes House last year.

Superintendent of Schools Susan Skieber was thanked at the most recent School Com-mittee meeting by the Dux-bury Teacher’s Association for her years of service to the Duxbury Public Schools.

“The Duxbury Teacher’s Association and its executive board thanks Susan Skeiber ... for her commitment and service to the Duxbury Public Schools,” said Mary Stadel-mann, vice president of the union. “We wish her the best of good fortune.”

Stadelmann then presented Skeiber with two plaques from the association.

“I think we’ve done a good job of working together,” said Skieber as she thanked Stadel-mann and the association.

Skeiber announced at the beginning of the year that she would be leaving Duxbury at the end of the school year when her contract expires. She has worked in the Dux-bury schools for 15 years and has been an elementary school principal, a middle school as-sistant principal and the assis-tant superintendent.

Also at Wednesday’s meet-ing, the School Committee ushered in the next era for the school district as they inked the contract for Dr. Benedict Tantillo, who will take over as superintendent starting Aug. 1. He will make $175,000 per year, according to School Committee Chairwoman Anne Ward.

Ward and fellow School Committee member Mary Lou Buell toured Tantillo’s former workplace, the Pascack Valley Regional High School District in New Jersey, last week.

“I think everybody came away feeling very positive about the climate in those schools and the things that are going on there,” said Ward.

Tantillo was named New Jersey’s superintendent of the

year in 2006 and pioneered a one-student one-laptop pro-gram in his district.

In other business, the School Committee:

• Heard an update from the Grad Nite committee about the school-sponsored graduation after party from Jill Cadigan-Christenson and Paula Valen-cia. The event was held at the high school from 10 p.m.-5 a.m. following the graduation ceremonies.

“[Grad Nite is] an oppor-tunity for Duxbury seniors to have a safe fun environment where they can experience graduation night with all of their classmates,” Cadigan-Christenson said.

Both women said the 2010 grad night was the biggest turnout in the program’s nine-year history.

• Heard from Science De-partment Head Cheryl Lewis about a new online summer school program the district is piloting called the Plato Proj-ect. Lewis told the School Committee the district has the software licenses year-round

and could be used in ways oth-er than credit recovery in the summer. For example, if a stu-dent studying abroad doesn’t have the ability to take a re-quired US history course, they could do it online.

• Read into the record a statement of support from the Duxbury Teacher’s Associa-tion for the cafeteria workers, many of whom saw their hours and benefits temporarily re-duced over the past year.

“The Duxbury Teacher’s Association empathizes with the cafeteria workers and hopes the School Committee will support these workers and the children with whom they share a special time of the day,” said the statement from DTA president Nancy Chad-wick.

Resident Jim Sullivan spoke during public forum and pointed out that during Nau-man’s business updates, the lunch program was identified as having a surplus. Sullivan has frequently urged the com-mittee to retroactively com-pensate the cafeteria workers for their lost hours and ben-efits.

Check out Summer Fest Saturday, June 19 from 1 p.m.- 6 p.m., the brainchild of Duxbury Student Union staff member, Tristan Cary, a local 2005 DHS graduate, musician and die-hard skateboarder. It began with Monday afternoon skate jams in the DSU parking lot and quickly morphed into something much greater, with over 15 students from middle school in Duxbury and Pem-broke involved, along with lo-cal board shops, Go Big Board-ing of Duxbury, Luminate of Marshfield and The Surf Shop in Kingston. Leveraging con-nections in the skateboarding industry, the event grew to include The Dew World Tour, BERN helmets and a new hel-met safety campaign launched in Duxbury called RIDE PHAT (Protect your Head at All Times).

Summer Fest 2010 is all about safe youth entertain-ment. On Saturday, June 19 from 1 p.m.-6 p.m., the DSU parking lot and lawn area will be transformed with an event that will appeal to all ages. No need to go to Boston or Gil-lette, the best of Boston and lo-cal bands will play right on the lawn. Ten bands, representing all genres of music, including Duxbury Idol Ike Fontaine and his band will be performing.

There will be entertain-ment, giveaways, raffles and food for all participants. Stop

by the RIDE PHAT booth for helmet stickers and ongoing summer promotions as well as the Duxbury Art Associa-tion to check out their upcom-ing Skateboard Art Challenge. From 2-5 p.m. the skateboard-ing event will take place. The DSU first priority is safety. All skateboarders are required to register and sign a parental waiver consent, available at duxburystudentunion.com. or at the DSU, Go Big Board-ing and Luminate. In addition, only skateboarders with hel-mets fastened will be allowed to participate.

Tickets are $10 for general admission and $15 for skate-boarders who register and sign a waiver in advance (skate-boarders registered in advance also receive a festival t-shirt). Every ticket holder receives a $5 coupon off their $25 pur-chase at Go Big Boarding, Luminate and The Surf Shop. Proceeds from the event will go to the Duxbury Student Union and RIDE PHAT (Pro-tect your Head at All Times). Children under the age of 11 must be accompanied by an adult as this is not a drop off event.

Tristan Cary and CJ Gallopo share their expertise with skate-boarders in the DSU parking lot every Monday.

Selectmen approve Verizon FIOS

runs for 10 years. Verizon representative

Peter Bowman said that the service will cover the entire town; currently 70 percent is wired for FiOS telephone and Internet service. He said the 30 percent of the town that does not yet have fiber optic cables includes multiple dwelling unit buildings and homes with buried cables. Bowman said Verizon will be working to bring FiOS to them soon.

If residents have already signed up for FiOS Internet and telephone and they order the television service, they can have it within the week, said Bowman. Others need to call Verizon and the company will run the fiber optic line directly to their house.

Once this happens, Bow-man said, they will be on a “whole new” fiber optic net-work.

Hewig, who has been han-dling Duxbury’s cable contract negotiations with both Verizon and Comcast, explained that negotiating the public, educa-tional and government access channels and their connections to various broadcast points in town has been one of the main issues between the town and the two providers.

Under the agreement, Ve-rizon will directly connect into Town Hall and the high school and also to PAC-TV, the Plymouth area community television station that the cable committee recommends Dux-bury use for public access tele-vision. Verizon will also offer auxiliary connections from the Duxbury Senior Center and the fire station.

According to Hewig, Comcast will not connect to PAC-TV, so only Verizon FiOS customers will be able to view that channel. However, Comcast will run connections from the Performing Art Cen-ter and the School Committee meeting Room 104 at the Al-den Elementary school.

While Verizon can provide the PAC-TV immediately, its customers must wait for the government and educational channels until the town final-izes its contract with Comcast and that company turns over its equipment to the town.

Hewig said that it is a “leap of faith” that both Verizon and Comcast will enter into an agreement to share education-al and government channel content. But he feels that once that is finalized, “the system will be completely intercon-nected with the exception of the public access channel.”

“It is our hope and as-sumption that Comcast will feel the pressure of competi-tion to provide PAC-TV to their subscribers anyway,” Hewig added.

Once Comcast turns over its equipment, it will no longer supply the staff to broadcast local government meetings. The town will be responsible for that. Bill Kearney, Chair-man of the Cable TV Commit-tee, said there is a “memo of understanding” between the town and school department that the schools will assume the operation of broadcasting the government and educa-tional channels and will do so with a combination of students and staff.

According to Hewig, the new contract with Verizon pro-

vides the town with $90,000 for new equipment and an annual operating budget of between 3.3 to 5 percent of gross annual revenues gener-ated from local cable revenues for the education and local government channels. Of this amount, 1.7 percent will go to pay for PAC-TV.

Some residents who at-tended the public hearing on the license told selectmen they hoped that Verizon’s customer service would be better than what they had received from Comcast over the years.

“If you’re dissatisfied with your vendor, you’ll have an option to go to another,” said Selectmen Chairman Shawn Dahlen.

Both selectmen and Hewig praised the work of the local cable advisory committee for their efforts to help negotiate a contract with Verizon and their on-going efforts to assist in finalizing a contract with Comcast. Duxbury has been without a formal cable con-tract since 2004.

In other business, select-men:

• Learned that through the Alternative Energy Commit-tee, the town has been award-ed a $65,000 grant to conduct a feasibility study for a wind turbine on town land.

• Learned that applications are still available for the Af-fordable Housing Trust pur-chase assistance program for first-time homebuyers. Any-one interested should call the town manager’s office or go to the town’s Web site and down-load an application. The dead-line for applications is July 9 and the lottery date is July 26.

Duxbury Middle School honor roll


Duxbury path meets Circuit Trail

You probably know someone who has needed long-term care. Maybe you have witnessed a family member, friend or colleague struggle with the emotional and financial issues that can come with a long-term care experience. The truth is, no matter when the need arises, because of age, disability, or because of an

unexpected illness or accident, long-term care can af-fect any age group, any social strata, and any geograph-ic location. But what is it and how can you plan for it?

What is Long-Term Care?Long-term care is help you may need due to a lengthy illness, an unexpected injury or accident, or a severe cognitive disorder such as Alzheimer’s disease. It’s assis-tance with the everyday tasks, or the activities of daily living (bathing, eating, dressing, toileting, transferring, and continence). Long-term care may be provided in a variety of locations, from nursing homes and assisted living facilities to adult day care centers and even your own home.

Who needs Long-Term Care?Most of us strive to live active, healthy lives well into our later years, and indeed as a society, Americans are living longer than ever before. This extended lon-gevity is one of the things that drives the growing need for long-term care – the longer we live, the better the odds that we may need long-term care services. It is predicted that in the year 2020, some 12 million older Americans are expected to need long-term care1.

While the majority of long-term care services is provided for seniors, a surpris-ing amount of long-term care services are provided to younger people. In fact, the U.S. Government Accountability Office estimates that 40% of the 13 mil-lion people receiving long-term care services are between ages 18 and 642.

Who pays for Long-Term Care?Long-term care can be expensive, financially and emotionally. An unexpected need for long-term care can have a significant impact on a family’s assets and lifestyle. Close to one-fourth of all nursing home costs are paid out-of pocket by individuals and their families3.

Many people mistakenly believe that their health insurance will cover the cost of long-term care. Others believe that Medicare or Medicaid will cover long-term care expenses. While Medicare does provide health coverage for seniors, it is limited in the coverage it provides for long-term care. Medicaid will pay for the cost of long-term care, but you must qualify by meeting strict income and asset eligibility requirements.

Long-term care insurance could be a solution.Long-term care insurance can be a very smart way to address the challenges from a long-term care need. Long-term care insurance can help pay for nurs-ing home care, as well as, a variety of home and community based care services. Long-term care insurance may not be for everybody, so if you are considering a policy, read it carefully and be sure to work with an insurance agent who un-derstands long-term care issues.

about two miles to Route 14, will meet up with a section of trail in Duxbury once that part is completed, creating a 25-mile loop that allows hik-ers to stay on the path through Duxbury, Kingston and Pem-broke, where they could meet up again with the rest of the Bay Circuit Trail.

“At the present time, the way the Bay Circuit Trail goes, it runs all the way down to Kingston around by Sil-ver Lake and then back up to Pembroke. I thought it would be great if we could make that into a loop so that people could walk directly into Dux-bury,” said Dick Rothschild, who for a long time represent-ed the town on the Bay Circuit Alliance. He has since passed on the job to someone else but continues to be involved in the efforts.

“It’s been an idea I’ve had for 10 years, and finally Chuck Lathrop really took up this idea in Pembroke and has completed their section of the trail,” he said. “We’re working on ours.”

Rothschild said the Dux-bury crew is working to clear the trail and bring it before the town for a public hearing, hopefully by the end of the summer.

Eventually, the finished trails — about three miles long — will connect to exist-ing trails that end around the Thaddeus Chandler Sanctuary, completing the loop.

“This particular dedication has a specific significance in that, when we first started out, the town of Duxbury was one of the first towns to dedicate a section in this area, from Bay Farm,” said Alan French, president of the Bay Circuit Alliance. “They got out to Up-per Chandler Pond, which is not far from here, and ran into a common situation where the owner of a cranberry bog didn’t want to cooperate. Be-cause of that, it just stayed this way, with Duxbury having its section but dead-ending at Pembroke.”

Eventually, the route from Bay Farm bypassed Duxbury, entering Kingston and con-necting to Pembroke, literally leaving Duxbury out of the loop.

But Rothschild, French, Lathrop and others never gave up on the idea of connecting that section. Today, they are closer than ever.

While it can stand alone as a massive trail connecting conservation land from the North Shore to the South, the Bay Circuit Trail offers other benefits as well.

“It can stand as a rec-reational trail, but like with the Appalachian Trail, there are not too many people that want to walk the whole thing,” French explained. “Its main significance is two things: one, a spine on which to grow connections to other trail sys-tems, and two, fulfilling the original dream, which was

a belt of open space around Boston, first envisioned in the ’30s. It was really amazing that people knew then that we needed what we now call an outer ‘emerald necklace.’

“You could say it’s impos-sible — how can we make a dream of a greenbelt? Well, it’s happening, even in a bad economy,” he added.

As the trailblazers and lo-cal residents prepared to walk the two-mile MacFarland Trail Saturday morning, Rothschild and French talked about plan-ning a bigger walk in the fu-ture.

“I don’t know — can we do it, Dick? Let’s do the loop,” French said. “I want to be the first one, with you, to do the circuit [through Duxbury].”

When he revealed it was a 25-mile stretch, Rothschild faltered.

“You’re a true optimist,” he said, laughing. Then, after French assured him they would

not try to walk the whole thing in one day, he added: “OK, I’ll sign up.”

The Duxbury Art Asso-ciation announces new themes for its highly successful Sum-mer Fun program. Summer Fun is the visual arts program where children can stretch their imaginations, learn new skills and make new friends. Don’t confuse this program with oth-ers! This visual arts program incorporates art, crafts and cre-ative activities including songs, games, stories and play.

This year’s themes and dates: July 6–9 (four days): Stars & Stripes. $145 members/$195 non-members for Stars & Stripes July 12–16: Under the Sea July 19–23: Artsy Astronauts July 26–30: Animal Expedi-tion Aug. 2–6: Mexican Madness Aug. 9-13: Knights & Prin-

cesses Aug. 16-20: Surfin’ Safari Aug. 23–27: Wild Wild West

Each week students ex-plore the theme by creating two-dimensional and three-di-mensional art projects using an assortment of materials in the studio with the supervision and support of an art teacher and a teaching assistant. Students learn about animals, the envi-ronment, history and culture relevant for each theme. The program focuses on the cre-ative process and learning ex-perience.

Summer Fun runs Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.

The highlight of each week is the art show at noon on Fri-day when parents, relatives and friends are invited to view the art created by the students dur-

ing week. The program offers spe-

cific activities and projects best suited for two age groups: 4-5 year olds or 6-9 year olds. An art instructor and teaching as-sistant work with a maximum of 12 students per session. Students are asked to dress for mess, bring a snack and a beach towel.

Tuition for members is $180 per week with a dis-counted tuition of $160 for an additional sibling in the same program. The same price as last year!

Students may become members at the time of regis-tration. Tuition assistance is available; a scholarship appli-cation is available at the DAA Web site: duxburyart.org.

In a record break-ing grant round, The Duxbury Education

Foundation awarded Duxbury Public Schools over $83,000 in innovative programs this spring. Additionally, a $10,000 grant was funded ear-lier this year for an AP Envi-ronmental Studies program developed in conjunction with Battelle Labs, for a grand total of $93,055.

Incoming president Fred Clifford sited a banner year for fundraising, despite the difficult economy. “The Dux-bury community stepped up its giving this year and we are thrilled with the programs and technology we’ve been able to provide the schools,” he said,

We thank the generous do-nors and committed teachers who submitted these grants to improve our children’s educa-tion.”

DEF received over $240,000 in grant requests this year. The grants DEF award-ed included the PLATO Pilot project for on-line courses at Duxbury High School. This will help summer school can-didates, those needing credit recovery, and students looking to advance their coursework, particularly in Advanced Placement.

Students and teachers at Chandler and Alden will see some significant changes in the science curriculum next

year with a grant awarded for hands on instructional science kits and and professional de-velopment that will replace outdated science textbooks, and bring some energy and continuity to the elementary science curriculum.

Another significant grant was approved for a program called Project Read, proposed by Bruce Cole for Special Ed-ucation. Providing improve-ments in the area of phonics and reading comprehension, this program will reach stu-dents across the district and complement the new co-teach-ing model.

In the technology arena, a large number of Alden students will benefit from the Mobile MacBooks grant, allowing students one on one instruc-

tion with laptops that eventu-ally wheel down the hall to the next class that needs them. And at the Middle School, 4 Apple iPads were awarded to our early adapter educators who will focus on how Dux-bury can best use this technol-ogy and its numerous educa-tional applications.

“We are more than thrilled with the districts grants from DEF this year,” said Ed Walsh, Assistant Superintendent of Duxbury Schools and the DEF liaison. “We have teachers preparing for professional de-velopment this summer, two sections of AP Environmental Studies and one environmental science elective filled already and students already signed up for PLATO. It will be a great year.”

DEF grants over 80k this spring

First of all, Daddy really wants pancakes, but he wants them on the right day.

My calendar was napping two weeks ago. The Duxbury Rotary Fathers’ Day Breakfast is this Sunday, June 20, 8:30-11 a.m., at the Senior Center. I had the wrong date. Everything else was pretty accurate – an oxymoron I use often.

Fathers’ Day gifting can be a

mystery to non-fathers, so let me offer the following guide. Many stereotypes are troublingly true. The secret to wisdom is knowing that the stereotype’s opposite is often

even truer. Women are said to love shopping, while men would rather buy and get it over with. Those who believe this have never seen men shop for fishing gear, tools, boats, boat jewelry, or guns. Boat jewelry is worn by boats, not people. The fittings and marvelous gizmos in and around boats cost more than the bling people wear. Guns may seem a little out of place here in Duxbury, but in the wider world of

They have made their mark in DHS baseball history by going deeper into the playoffs than any baseball team before them. Coach Barney Earle’s Dragons are now the MIAA Division II South Sectional champions after defeating former state champ Plymouth North, 5-0, on Friday after-noon in Brockton.

The win was the 17th straight for Duxbury, bringing its record to 21-2, as it prepared to face undefeated (23-0) and No. 1 seed Masconomet Tues-day night at Alumni Field in Lowell for the Eastern Massa-chusetts crown.

Every win seems to pro-duce a new star on the Dux-bury roster, but in this case it was the veteran seniors who provided all the excitement in a game that was theirs from the opening pitch.

Senior pitcher Jeff Blout was exceptional, limiting the Eagles to four hits while strik-ing out 14 batters and looking as fresh in the seventh as he did at the start.

Plymouth North had its ace on the mound, too, in Jeff Agnew, and it took just two in-nings for the Dragons to get to the Eagle lefty.

Senior captain Pat McWil-liams led off the inning with a double to left-center. The next two batters couldn’t advance McWilliams, bringing senior Connor Inglis to the plate with two outs. Inglis promptly sin-

gled to drive in McWilliams and advanced to second base on the throw to the plate. Se-nior Pat Sweeney wasted little time, as he continues to swing a torrid bat, and brought home Inglis for the only two runs the Dragons would need.

Blout experienced his first bit of trouble in the third when, after registering his fifth strike-out, he surrendered a back-to-back walk and single. Brother Steve made an unassisted put-out at first for the second out, advancing the runners to sec-ond and third with the murder-ous Matt Walsh strolling to the plate.

After inducing a couple of foul balls, it looked like Blout caught Walsh looking at a third strike, while the umpire saw it differently. It didn’t seem

to faze the senior righty, who blew a fastball by Walsh for a third strike and an end to the uprising.

Blout would allow the Ea-gles two more hits in the fourth, but he also struck out the side and had whiffed nine of the 12 outs he had produced.

No lead is too large against Plymouth North, and the Dragons kept adding on when senior Greg O’Neal opened the bottom of the fourth with a single and advanced to second on a passed ball.

Agnew looked like he would get out of the inning with a strikeout and an infield out. However, the ever-danger-ous Pat Sweeney (.400 plus) came to the plate and blasted a shot over the centerfielder’s head that rolled to the wall,

scoring O’Neal and leaving Sweeney at third when Tom Kazanowski’s line drive was snagged with a leaping catch by the PN second baseman.

“Pat Sweeney (DH/No. 8 hitter) comes through again with two outs,” said Coach Earle. “He has been doing things like that all year long. That’s what you have to do to win games like this.”

Blout was in a relaxed groove all night long, limber-ing up between innings by running down the left field foul line and returning to the dugout and meditating thru Zen.

America, hunting and target shooting are popular pastimes, and fitting that perfect shotgun can take longer than choosing a whole wardrobe of shoes. For such men, deciding on the right “pump” is about reloading for the next shot, not about comfortable shoes.

Women are said to be hard to read – by men, at least – their desires difficult to understand. Men are even harder. They hide their hints for gifts in the most obvious places: outright petitions. When a man says, for example, “I want a canoe,” he really means it. When his wife or children hear such a request, their reaction often shows elements of confusion. “What could he mean by that? What is trying to say? What does he really want?” Typically, these questions take an indirect form. “You’re joking,” his wife might say, pretending to be harsh. “You’ve got to be kidding.”

Children can be even more mystified. “Daddy’s crazy. He thinks he’s getting a boat for Fathers’ Day. A canoe. Yeah, right!” Their gentle attempts to probe the matter are cloaked in subtle questions of concern, like, “Are you nuts? Are you on drugs?” Both children and wives may join in the final search for deeper truth by asking, “What in the world would you do with a canoe? Are you drunk?”

I once spent three years worth of Fathers’ Days angling for a Ben Silver bow tie. Bow ties are harder to find than you might guess, and the Ben Silver ones are the top of the line – heirloom quality, tough enough to last forever, and, when properly tied, cleverly lifted out of range of spaghetti splatters. In a day when four-in-hand ties can cost more than the shirts they protect, $70 bow ties can be quite economical, like a canoe. The children finally realized I was serious, pooled their efforts, and sprung for the tie, a splendid maroon with white polka dots in the Winston Churchill line. It came complete with quotes from Winston himself. “Never give up!” he once growled. “Never, never give up!”

I didn’t, and I think of the love of my children every time I tie it, straighten it, and admire it in the mirror.

Now, I would never wear a canoe to the opera or to church, even an economical used canoe with two paddles. I already have life jackets, but I wouldn’t wear them to church, either. I’d wear them on the Bluefish River, one for me and one for whoever joined me, and I wouldn’t always expect to steer, either. We could take turns, because a real canoe has two seats, unlike those silly fake plastic kayaks that you ride on top of. I might bring a paddle to church, to have it blessed, especially if it was one or two of those beautiful wooden ones, which I could refinish if it was used, as long as it wasn’t split, but I would never wear a canoe to church.

I could probably make a bundle writing dreamy nature articles about Duxbury’s beautiful estuaries, gratitude, egrets, memories, and horseshoe crabs that tickle your feet and make children squirm. And I would, too, if I had a canoe. There’s no mystery about it, even if I am a man.

were out, Blout settled down and blew a fastball by Mike Cahill to kill another rally and preserve his 3-0 lead.

It was beginning to look like the Eagles had no solution for solving Blout, and if they did, it was going to be even harder after the bottom of the fifth.

After junior Joe Coyne flied out to deep right field, se-nior Tommy Guilfoile stroked a single to left. Senior captain Matt Savard came up to the plate, hoping to contribute in some way to his team’s gutsy performance. With one swing of the bat he brought the crowd out of its seat at Cam-panelli Stadium with a titanic home run blast that traveled over 400 feet and over the left-centerfield fence to bring home Guilfoile for a 5-0 lead.

“I had struck out in my first two at-bats, so I was a

little frustrated,” said Savard. “The coach told me to relax up there, so I saw my pitch and went after it. I guess it went pretty far.”

Blout continued to mow the Eagles down with two more strikeouts in the sixth inning, and was aided by an outstand-ing defensive play at shortstop by Kazanowski, who dove to his left and saved the ball from going through, getting a force play at second base.

The Zen master went to the mound in the seventh, just like had had been doing all af-ternoon, and ended the game with consecutive strikeouts to put the Dragons in the finals.

“We play loose and we play together,” said Blout. “And when we battle, no one can touch us. I just try to stay calm out there, and I know my fastball is pretty good. If I can just hit my spots and they are making the plays behind me, I just have to throw strikes.”

It’s one of the largest sports in college, but it’s been absent from Duxbury High School since the school started play-ing varsity sports.

Sailing, crew, ice skat-ing and skiing have been the most recent additions to the stable, but now volleyball will be joining the rest of the DHS athletic scene, filling the only gap that has been missing in girls’ falls sport.

While several attempts have been made in the past to get the sport off the ground, the partnership of Duxbury resi-dent Barbara Vetsch and Head Coach Pam Thomas have been working with Athletic Direc-tor Thom Holdgate and are determined to have a varsity program up and running for the 2011-12 school year.

When Vetsch’s volley-ball scholarship niece ques-tioned her cousin as to why she wasn’t playing volleyball, all eighth-grader Nikki Vetsch could say was, “We don’t have a volleyball team.”

That was all her mom needed to hear.

Through friends in town, Vetsch tracked down Thomas, whose dream in life was to build and coach a successful volleyball program.

A scholarship volleyball player at Wake Forest and an Atlantic Coast Conference All-Star in 1985, Thomas set six school records for the De-mon Deacons in a three-year span from 1984 through 1986.

Prior to enrolling at Wake Forest, Thomas played for the Three Rivers Junior Olympic team and was a member of the Norwin High School varsity that won three Division I State titles.

To help jump-start vol-leyball interest, Vetsch and the coaching staff of Thomas

and Assistant Coach Dannielle Snelling will be holding a four-day clinic starting Aug. 16 that is open to prospective seventh through tenth-grade girls. Not only is the clinic designed to garner interest and create en-thusiasm for the program, but it is also intended as an assess-ment of volleyball play and athletic ability. It will be held at the Alden School gym from 9-11:30 a.m.

The clinic would be vol-untary and would not preclude participation in the fall pro-gram. It would help Thomas and Vetsch develop a plan to build the team and help each girl maximize her potential. The cost of the clinic will be $100.

While the first year of the program will be at the intra-mural level, the hope is that scrimmages will be arranged with area high schools after the eight-week intramural ses-sion is over to assess how far the program has come.

While start-up teams are usually on their own finan-cially, it will take many fund-raisers and contributions to make this program a reality. A dedicated website will also be linked to the DHS Web site in the near future for information

as to the team’s progress.For information about

DHS volleyball or to register for the summer clinic in Au-gust, contact Barbara Vetsch at [email protected] or call her at 781-934-5727 or 781 864-2028.

ON a MISSION: Head Coach Pam Thomas and Barbara Vetsch have taken steps to introduce volleyball as a varsity sport at DHS.

Dragons’ DenSports Editor Mike Halloran • [email protected]

“48.”It’s what the Duxbury

Dragons boys lacrosse team shouts as they break a huddle, and it means “play hard for all 48 minutes of the game.”

On Saturday afternoon it became more than just a slo-gan, as the Dragons needed just about every second of the game to defeat Billerica 13-12 on a grey, drizzly turf at Dux-bury High School.

Although Billerica struck first on a goal by sophomore attack Cameron Slatton, who

scored four goals for the visi-tors, Duxbury dominated the first quarter with unassisted goals from Nick Woodgate, Ricky Armstrong, John Ric-ciardi, Paul Hellar and Will Siefert.

The score was 5-2 head-ing into the second quarter, but Billerica chipped away at Duxbury’s lead. After Indians goalie Daniel Smith pulled a possible score off the goal line before it could cross, Slatton struck again, and midfielder Ross Murphy added another score to bring the visitors with-in a goal.

Siefert added a quick-strike score with 5:47 left to go in the second period, but Billerica an-swered quickly with two goals to tie the game at 6. The tie-breaker by attack Grant White-way for the visitors caused the Indians’ bench to erupt, and momentum was on Billerica’s side, leading them to two more goals. Another goal by Sief-ert kept it close going into the half, but Billerica’s crash-the-net offense was clearly disrupt-ing the Dragons’ defense.

Duxbury Head Coach

Chris Sweet rallied his troops at halftime, and the Dragons came out playing their offen-sive game. Putting on a passing clinic in front of Smith, sopho-more attack Seamus Connelly put one in the back of the net

off an assist from Hellar to make everything even at 8-8.

From there the game turned into a back-and-forth slugfest. Neither team could get much separation on the scoreboard, and although the Dragons were winning most of the ground ball battles, it wasn’t always translating into a goal.

Finally, after a Billerica holding penalty gave Dux-bury possession, Bryan Barry scored while diving across the crease to make the score 12-12 with only a few minutes remaining in the game. After some key saves by Duxbury goalie Mickey Zaverucha, Ric-ciardi scored to put his team up by one. However, a technical foul on a holding call gave the ball back to Billerica and left the Dragons a man down with about 37 seconds on the clock. But the defense held, and at the end of the game the white

jerseys swarmed Zaverucha as an emotional Indians squad slumped off the field.

“Defense got us to where we were,” said Sweet after the game. “And in the end, it won it for us.”

He said a seven-minute stretch of poor play allowed the Indians to catch up, and make the rest of the game a brutal back and forth struggle.

“I told them [at the half] that if they played hard and stayed out of the penalty box they’d win,” he said. “Heart and character won this game for us.”

Seifert finished the game with four goals, followed by Ricciardi’s three, including the game winner. Woodgate, Arm-strong, Hellar, James Burke and Barry had one each.

The Dragons will face St. John’s Prep at Harvard at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday.

Duxbury youth Softball’s Senior Select team, sponsored by MaI Magic, won the championship playoff game against the Kingston Riptide, 9-7, last Thursday night at Onion Field. Front: Hannah Hutchinson, Isabelle Foley and alexandra Puatu. Second Row: Caitlin Turok, Caroline O’Rourke, Madison Garrity, Sabrina linskey, Caroline O’Connor, Katerina Ellison, Olivia Zelvis and Mackenzie Bright (missing Briana Connolly). Coaches: Sandy Puatu and Bill Ellison.

The Boston Cannons (3-2) won their third consecutive home

game to start the season, as they defeated the Denver Out-laws (3-3), 17-12, on Saturday afternoon at Harvard Stadium. A crowd of 6,090 was on hand to see Duxbury rookie Max Quinzani score three goals and an assist in his Cannons debut.

With the game tied 8-8 starting the second half, Quin-zani opened the third quar-ter by notching back-to-back goals, including a nifty behind the back shot to give the Can-nons a 10-8 advantage.

The Cannons poured it on in the fourth, getting goals from Ryan Boyle, Paul Rabil, Pat Heim, Quinzani and Matt Poskay, as they held the Out-laws scoreless to break a two-game losing streak.

Quinzani, who had a large group of family and friends at the game, spoke about how happy he was to be in Boston. “I was lucky to get the expo-sure from having such a great run these past few weeks, I got a text message from Coach

Daye letting me know I’d be a member of the Cannons and I couldn’t have been happier” he said. “This game really showed me that this is a physi-cal league, much more than college, but I loved playing in front of the home crowd and notching my first goal, it really made me feel like I’d arrived.”

The Cannons will return to action when they travel to Virginia Beach, VA to face the Chicago Machine on Sunday,

June 20 at 2:30 p.m. The game will be aired live on Comcast Sports Net New England.

Group and individual tick-ets are on sale for all remain-ing Cannons home games and the 2010 MLL All-Star Game being held at Harvard Stadium on July 8th. For more informa-tion, or to purchase Cannons tickets, visit bostoncannons.com or call 617-746-9933.
