The Percy Walker Pool will get a facelift, the Chandler Elementary School will get a new roof, but Duxbury police and fire departments were left out in the cold after Saturday’s election.

Voters approved a $2.2 million debt

e x c l u s i o n (meaning a temporary tax hike) for the pool

at the ballot box, as well as

$200,000 for a study of DMS and DHS, and $1.5 million for the roof.

However, a ballot question asking for $435,000 to design a new police station off May-flower Street failed, as did a planned $5.2 million renova-tion to the town’s main fire station.

Public safety officials were disappointed after the results

came in.“It was pretty discourag-

ing,” said Deputy Fire Chief Christopher West. “I think we did our best to sell the renova-tion.”

West thought Question 2 being on the ballot may have confused voters. Question 2 asked voters to approve fund-ing for a combined police and fire station on Mayflower Cemetery land –– a plan that was abandoned by officials and indefinitely postponed at Town Meeting.

“Some people probably thought that was still on the table,” West said. “It’s too bad there wasn’t a way to notify people that day not to vote on that.”


Christopher Donato is Duxbury’s newest member of the Board of Selectmen, narrowly edging out

12-year incumbent Andre Martecchini in Saturday’s election by 24 votes.

Donato, along with family members and campaign workers, waited anxiously in

the Duxbury Middle School until the results from each voting precinct was read. After hearing the final tally, Donato was gracious toward the outgoing Martecchini, saying that he “greatly respected” his 12 years of service.

“We’ve got to remember what a great job Andre did over the past 12 years,” he


Incumbent School Com-mittee member John Hein-

stadt defeated challenger G l e n n L i s t e r n -ick at the polls Sat-

urday by a

wide margin in a contest that was difficult to separate from the hot-button issue of school start times.

The two men disagreed on a host of issues during the campaign, including how a school committee member should work with the adminis-tration. However, it was their opposite stances on the school

start time issue that received the most attention.

In early March, the School Committee voted to effective-ly swap the start times of the middle school and high school with the Alden Elementary School, having the younger students start at 7:30 a.m. and the older students start at 8:30

Whether it was the good weather on Saturday, the six debt override proposals on the ballot, or a number of intrigu-ing races –– including a hotly

contested select-man’s race that went down to the wire –– Duxbury vot-

ers turned out in droves to the polls

on Saturday for the town’s an-nual elections.

Although the 3,152 resi-dents who cast their ballots was a higher number than last year’s 2,381 –– and there was a contested selectman’s race and public safety ballot ques-tions last year as well ––Town Clerk Nancy Oates was still unhappy with the turnout.

“I’m a little disappointed ... Those are big questions,” she said, referring to the ballot initiatives.

Oates said the vote count at the end of the night went smoothly, and that only a handful of ballots needed to be counted by hand.

“These machines are fabu-lous,” she said. “It went very well at the end.”

Candidates and their fami-lies packed into the Duxbury Middle School gym after the close of the polls at 8 p.m., something that has become an annual tradition in town. Former selectman John Tuffy tallied the votes by precinct on his laptop, and others fran-tically tapped at calculators or scribbled on notebooks, try-ing to determine the outcome. In the case of the selectman’s race, the result wasn’t final until the results for precinct 6 were read.

Incumbents George Wads-

worth of the Planning Board, Laney Mutoski of the Board of Library Trustees, Town Moderator Allen Bornheimer and Board of Assessors mem-ber Linda Collari (the only unopposed candidate in the entire election) were returned to their seats Saturday.

In addition, the town will have some new faces. Paula Harris was elected to the Board of Library Trustees, and Clip-per Publisher Josh Cutler was elected to the Planning Board.

Ballot questions, races drive voters to the polls

said. “We’ve got to honor the time he gave to this town.”

He thanked his campaign for all their hard work, and said he thought his attempt to connect with people and solic-it their opinion is what swayed voters in his direction.

“I think a lot of my success was reaching out to residents and different committees and boards,” he said. “I’m very proud and happy to represent the people of Duxbury.”

Martecchini credited Do-nato’s “tremendous organiza-tion” with getting voters out to the polls on Saturday.

“I gotta hand it to him, he did a great job,” Martecchini said.

He didn’t think there was a particular issue that led to the election’s outcome.

“I don’t believe there was any protest vote,” he said.

Martecchini, who is cur-rently on several committees beside the Board of Selectmen, said he’s planning on staying involved in town government.

“I’m staying active, I’m not going away at all,” he said. “I’ve got a lot invested in the town and I think I can still contribute to the town.”

He said passing the pay-as-you-throw program was one of the accomplishments he was most proud of during his tenure.

It was a very controversial thing, a big change,” he said. “I thought I was right, I didn’t have necessarily 100 percent support ... “I was very proud when it got in, and it’s saved a ton of money,”

“I’m very proud of what I achived .. with some excellent, excellent people helping me. This is not a one-man show. Working in town government is completely a team effort.”

During the campaign, the two men agreed on little. Do-nato criticized the incumbent for what he said was poor communication between town leaders and employees, and for a lack of action on the public safety and other capital proj-ects. Martecchini countered that his challenger didn’t un-derstand the workings of town government.

Donato pointed to the fail-ure of the police and fire sta-

tion projects on the ballot as a top priority for the town going forward.

“The townspeople spoke,” he said. “We’re going to have

to approach these issues in a

very wary way, because we’ve been told they don’t want to spend the money at the mo-ment.”

Slow Food catching on

miChelle Conway, Clipper Columnist [email protected]

President and Mrs. Obama planted a kitchen garden on the grounds of the White House and with that seemingly simple step, have taken a leading role in the ongoing international dialogue about food. By growing tomatoes, beans, herbs

and other vegetables in their back yard, they are making a statement that they care about the origins of their food and are supporting local sustainability.

The Obamas certainly aren’t the first to embrace the idea of turning away from industrialized food and towards locally grown ingredients. The “Slow Food” movement

suggests that we should know the origins of the food that lands on our plates. The seeds of the Slow Food movement were planted as a grass roots organization in 1989 when outraged Italian citizens successfully prevented the fast food giant MacDonald’s from establishing a franchise at the base of the ancient Spanish Steps in Rome.

From this initial success grew a global movement to preserve heirloom varieties of edible plants and animals, promote local food traditions, and advocate for healthy food practices.

If eating all-local, all-the-time is intimidating, set a more attainable goal. Try fixing one meal a week or even a month that is comprised of ingredients made within 200 miles of where you live. Although the accepted definition of “local” is food that is produced within 100 miles, make it easy on yourself and expand the radius to include Vermont cheeses, grass fed beef from Rhode Island and shrimp from the coast of Maine.

Take an extra moment when shopping and check your labels; you will be surprised at how many products you can find that are produced locally. Hand cut pastas and locally made sauces are readily available at grocery stores and at the smaller independently owned markets that dot the South Shore. Alfredo Aiello based out of Quincy and Serino’s Pasta from Hyde Park both offer excellent pastas, pizzas and sauces. Pair them with artisinal breads such as Jessica’s, baked in Woburn or Pain D’Avignon breads from Hyannis and a bottle of Westport Vineyards Wine for an easy to prepare local meal.

The South Shore boasts several excellent turkey farms as well as fish markets selling locally caught fish. Hanover Lobster and Seafood is currently offering succulent Cape Cod scallops which can be dusted with breadcrumbs and drizzled with Kate’s Homemade Sea Salt butter from Maine for a divine dinner. Create a cheese plate made with Great Hill Blue Cheese from Marion, Shy Brother’s Hannahbells from Westport and a sharp cheddar from Cabot in Vermont. For an extra “slow food” twist, drizzle local honey atop the blue cheese and serve Effie’s Oatcakes in place of commercially made crackers.

A simple way to participate in the Slow Food movement is to shop locally. If you can’t create a meal entirely of locally crafted products, try avoiding the big box stores and shop at independently owned businesses. Foodie’s Market, Trucchi’s Supermarket and Roche Brothers are all locally owned grocery stores. In addition, there are many excellent butcher shops, fish markets and specialty stores that carry superlative products and offer personalized customer service that make shopping pleasurable.

Piano and cello concert at the ACM

Two distinguished musi-cians will be presented in con-cert at The Art Complex Mu-seum on Sunday, April 5, at 4 pm. Both Pianist Olivia Garni-er and Cellist Timothy Roberts have previously performed at the museum.

Ms. Garnier was born in France and started exhibiting her talent at a very tender age, playing for the French Televi-sion and giving her first recital at the age of seven. At ten, she started playing in many Parisian halls and has, since then, given many concerts throughout France, Belgium, Germany, Italy, Austria, Bul-garia, Hungary, Malaysia and the West Indies.

Mr. Roberts performs on a Gabrielli cello made in Flor-ence Italy, in 1751. He has given many solo recital perfor-mances in Boston, Chicago, Florida and the Washington D.C. area, as well as with Ms. Garnier in Boston and at the Salle Cortot in Paris.

The performance is free and supported by the Carl A. Weyerhaeuser Family Chari-table Trusts, and by gifts from friends of the museum. www.artcomplex.org

Jason Laramee, the man-ager at the North Hill Golf Course, is asking Duxbury se-lectmen for his liquor license back.

Laramee works for John-son Turf and Golf, Inc. of Weston, which will continue to manage the town-owned nine-hole golf course on Merry Av-enue even though its ten-year contract expired at the end of 2008 and it was not awarded a new one by the town.

Johnson Turf and Golf, Inc. received an injunction in January from a judge in Mid-dlesex superior court ordering the town to allow the manage-ment company to remain in control of North Hill while a court case is pending. Johnson is suing the town, challeng-

ing the contract bidding pro-cess and claiming the town’s choice of a new manager was unqualified. Johnson will like-ly continue as the manager for the 2009 golf season.

Laramee showed up at the end of a recent Board of Se-lectmen meeting, saying he meant to appear at the open forum part at the beginning but it took him longer than he thought to get to Duxbury from Weston.

Laramee insisted that the town re-instate Johnson’s li-quor license. Laramee said Johnson had all the necessary permits and the permission of the state’s liquor licensing au-thority, the ABCC.

Selectmen voted not to re-new Johnson’s liquor license at North Hill on December 22 because the company’s man-

agement contract expired on December 31 and it no longer had control of the property.

Selectmen chairman Jon Witten refused to discuss the issue of the liquor license at the meeting. A public hearing on the Johnson’s application for a liquor license at North Hill had already been sched-uled for 7:20 p.m. at the April 6 selectmen’s meeting.

“We’re in litigation over this matter and I don’t feel comfortable discussing it,” said Witten. “This is not the right forum.”

Town Manager Richard MacDonald said: “We’ve heard from Mr. Laramee be-fore on this. I caution the board to say anymore. Any conversations should go to our town counsel.”

New April Appetizing Menu Choices!

These are our new items for April. Go to our Web site for our complete April menu. Many other items to choose from.


One of the themes of the recently closed Town Meet-ing was the need to think long term when it comes to capital needs. In response to past re-quests, the Fiscal Advisory Committee presented a pre-liminary long term capital plan that includes a potential of $144 million in capital proj-ects over the next ten years.

Committee member David Madigan said that Duxbury residents are looking at nine major construction projects that would all require tax in-creases to pay for them. They would be funded through Proposition 2 1/2 debt exclu-sions, which raise taxes only for the life of a project.

using information pro-vided by town and school of-ficials, Madigan estimated the costs of each project and how much each would increase an average tax bill. He used an average home value of $655,923 and an average tax bill of $7,263 for FY2010. He stressed that these amounts and tax impacts are a moving target and can change depend-ing upon many factors such as construction start dates, inter-est rates, and when current town debt is retired from the books.

According to Madigan, the fire station renovation project with a $5.2 million price tag would add $87 to the average tax bill for the next fiscal year, FY11. The $2.2 million pool renovation would add $37. The Chandler school roof project with a $1.5 million cost and a 40 percent reimbursement from the state of $620,000 would add $19. The school buildings study for $200,000 would add $10.

Beginning in fiscal year 2013, a new police station at a cost of $7.75 million includ-ing the design fees would add $129 to the average tax bill. A new crematory is estimated to

cost $1 million and would add $20 beginning in 2013, said Madigan.

Also needed is a new De-partment of Public Works building and yard for $2 mil-lion, which would increase the average bill by $33 beginning in 2015.

Madigan offered rough es-timates on the costs of build-ing a new middle school and a new high school. Both build-ings have been determined by the school department to be nearing their useful 50-year life expectancy and require major renovations or possible replacement. A new middle school would cost approxi-mately $60 million and would add $600 to the average tax bill beginning in FY2014, said Madigan. A new high school could cost up to $65 million,

adding $650 to an average tax bill in FY2019. The state is ex-pected to reimburse Duxbury 40 percent for each school.

Madigan said that if voters approve the projects in order, by 2011, the average tax bill would rise by $400 over the tax levy limit. In 2014, this $400 would become $1,000 and in 2019, the most expen-sive year if all projects are approved, it would balloon to $1,600 over the levy limit. By then, the town should be done paying for the Performing Arts Center project and the Al-den and Chandler elementary school renovation projects. By 2039, all of the proposed proj-ects would be paid off, said Madigan.

Madigan cautioned that these figures assume all these projects are approved in the years they are presented and are completed on schedule at a 4.5 percent interest rate.

The preliminary ten-year capital plan also recommends the town spend $500,000 a year on replacing and maintaining its vehicles and $750,000 a year on building maintenance.

Madigan said the Fiscal Advisory Committee plans to present next year’s Town Meeting with a final long-term capital planning report.

Town needs to look forward, Fiscal Adv. says

a.m. Despite national and lo-cal research showing that older students benefit from a later start, showing improved grades and reduced behavioral problems, the issue stirred a passionate response from the community. Parents of Al-den students said the effect of the change on their children hadn’t been properly studied, and high school students ex-pressed concerns about after school activities.

Heinstadt voted against making the change (it was approved by a 3-2 vote) say-ing he didn’t think enough re-search had been done on the change, and that he didn’t see a pressing demand for a shift coming from high school par-ents and students.

Listernick said that as an educator, he saw first-hand how sleepy older students that would benefit from a later start time.

After the election, both men acknowledged the im-portance of that issue in the results.

“If you talk to the par-ents of the Alden School stu-dents I have a feeling that’s what they’re going to say at Wednesday’s [School Com-mittee meeting,]” said Hein-stadt.

That statement was one thing his opponent agreed with.

“It would have been a closer vote if there hadn’t been this issue with the school start times –– not to take anything away from John,” said List-ernick. “To say it would have changed the outcome was real-ly a reach, but I think it would have been closer ... I really do feel a lot of people voted on this one issue.”

Heinstadt also thought his six years of experience on the committee was a big element in his victory.

“Name recognition is an important factor,” he said. “I’ve been in town 33 years compared to Glenn who is a relative newcomer.”

Listernick was upbeat after the election, looking at the sit-uation –– well, like a teacher.

“It was a really really posi-tive experience getting to see democracy at a grassroots level,” he said, pointing out his two children got to see the democratic process in action.

He said if he ran again –– something he said he’d seri-ously consider –– he’d make more of an effort to get out in the community and connect di-rectly with Duxbury residents. He also had kind words for his opponent.

“I congratulate John. We do differ on some issues but he’s a good hearted guy who wants to do the best for the schools,” Listernick said.

Heinstadt said the dis-trict’s next big challenge is to come up with a long term plan for the middle school and high school. On Saturday, voters approved a $200,000 debt ex-clusion for a feasibility study.

Heinstadt said he’d always supported that approach.

“What I would suggest is that we look at the entire cam-pus and come up with a plan as to how to best economically

meet the needs of the middle school and the high school,” he said. “We have the oppertu-nity to create a reallly coherent campus.”

He pointed out that any school project isn’t likely to happen soon, and that a long-term vision is necessary.

“I think we have to get a really clear sense of the direc-tion that we’re going to go,” he said.

DUXBURY MARKETPLACE

For his first meeting as a new selectman, newly elected board member Christopher Donato had a light agenda, but Town Manager Richard MacDonald made it clear that pressing issues such as finding the money to fix the fire sta-tion’s leaking roof and broken boiler would be filling the se-lectmen’s upcoming meetings.

After Town Clerk Nancy Oates swore in a slate of new town officials, including Do-nato, selectmen performed their annual re-organization of the board, making Selectman Betsy Sullivan the chairman, Donato the vice chairman, and Selectman Jon Witten the clerk.

After this, Sullivan asked MacDonald what steps the town must take now that vot-ers failed to approve funding for a renovated fire station and plans for a new police station.

The two projects were approved by voters at Town Meeting, however on Satur-day, both projects were defeat-ed at the ballot box.

MacDonald responded that he needed to come up with a new approach on the is-sue of what to do about a new police station and how to find the money to fix the immedi-ate needs of the fire station.

“What I’d like to do is to come up with a different phi-losophy or strategy because we haven’t been successful,” MacDonald said.

He added that at the fire station the boiler is gone and

the roof leaks.“We can’t wait on that.

We’ve got to do something right away,” he said.

Sullivan asked about the $1 million contingency plan the public safety study com-mittee had mentioned at an earlier selectmen’s meeting if the $5.2 million renovation failed at town meeting.

Finance Director John Madden said he had never heard the details of this plan he wanted to know the exact cost of the repairs before start-ing to figure out how to pay for

them. He said there was not a million dollars in the tax levy, and only $23,000 left in free cash.

“That won’t even buy you a car,” said Sullivan.

“There are areas we can look into, but I don’t feel com-fortable suggesting a million dollars if we don’t know what a million dollars can buy,” said Madden.

MacDonald said he will work with Madden and select-men to figure out how to tackle this issue.

Selectmen discuss next step for public safety

SeLeCtMeN’S NoteS

• The Board of Selectmen voted unanimously to grant a common victualler’s license to the new owner of Scoops ice cream shop in Hall’s Corner. The vote was contingent upon a few outstanding items, such as proof of workmen’s compensation and adherence to Board of Health regulations. Richard Michelson will be taking over from Mark Dunn. Michelson said he plans to open the shop this weekend if he can comply with the permit’s requirements. Everything at Scoops will stay the same, he said. The shop will be open from 3-8 p.m. until school is out and then from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m.

• The board approved a proclamation to honor former Selectman Andre Martecchini for his 12 years of service and his work with various town boards and committees.

• Selectmen declared a bonus shellfish season for April for the commercial harvesting of quahog and soft-shell clams and for the recreational harvesting of soft-shell clams.

• The board announced that commercial shellfish permits are only available in April and to Duxbury residents. Anyone interested in applying for a permit must contact Anne Murray in the selectmen’s office.

• Selectmen announced that town treasurer Beth Conway will be leaving at the end of the week to take a financial position at the New England Regional Council of Carpenters in South Boston.

• The board announced that applications for transfer station stick-ers are available to download at the town’s Web site. Stickers expired Tuesday.

He pointed out that over 600 people voted “yes” on Question 2. “That number could have translated into a win for both police and fire,” he said.

West said that no matter why the vote turned out the way it did, the town needs to move forward.

“The people spoke. Whether it was confusing or not, that’s up for debate,” he said.

Police Chief Mark DeLuca was also disappointed in the vote, but said he understood people’s reluctance to spend money in uncertain economic times.

“I knew it would be a tough sell,” he said. “I don’t think there’s anybody in town who would disagree with the fact we need a new station ... I think it was simply the times.”

He said although mem-bers of the department would obviously love to have a new station, they would go about business as usual.

“I don’t think it’s affected morale,” he said. “Some of my officers are residents of Duxbury as well, they under-stand.”

He said despite the build-ing’s deficiencies, the police would continue to provide the same level of protection they always have.

“Duxbury residents will get everything they’ve had in the past and then some,” De-

Luca said.Georgia Blatterman, a

member of the Public Safety Building Feasibility Commit-tee, was also let down by Sat-urday’s vote.

“Obviously I’m disap-pointed,” she said. “As a com-mittee we’re going to have to go back and figure out what exactly the reason for the vote was. Last year it was a lot clearer what the problems were.”

Last year, an initiative to build two brand new stations failed at the ballot box. It had passed at Town Meeting, but only after much discussion about cost, location, and the idea of building a combined station.

Blatterman said it was out of a desire to include input from the community that her committee asked to have both options –– the combination station and the two separate projects –– on the town elec-tion ballot.

“The economy has been so volatile and there’s been so much going on, we tried to leave options open,” she said. “That probably did us in in the long run.”

She said the group put a lot

of time and effort into coming up with the projects that final-ly went on the ballot.

“The committee really worked very hard this year, taking into consideration what happened at Town Meet-ing last year. We reduced the overall cost of the project,” she said. “We came up with solutions that we felt were the most economical and in the best interest of the town in terms of spending money.”

She pointed out that, at least with the fire station, there is some work that needs to be done right away regardless of the vote, like fixing the leak-ing roof.

She said that the feasibil-ity committee will meet some-time soon to regroup and come up with a new plan.

“Hopefully we’re going to be able to put something to-gether ... the need isn’t going away, the need isn’t chang-ing,” she said.

West said that despite the Fire Department’s disappoint-ment, Duxbury firefighters and paramedics would still do their jobs.

“Life goes on here, we’ve just got to get some money to-gether to fix the most urgent issues,” he said.

He pointed out that the town has other large-scale capital projects looming, like renovating or replacing the schools.

“I think it needs to be ad-dressed, the police station, and this station needs to be addressed also,” he said. “It’s clear that there’s a need for these buildings to be updated or replaced.”

in and out like a lionBy fahy ByGate, Clipper Columnist

Well, March came in like a lion and the lambs just gave up. Cold winds, low temperatures, some sun just to fool us. It has been brutal. But, there

are a couple of bright spots on the horizon.The first bright spot is a bit of a mixed blessing. Massa-

chusetts State Department of Fisheries and Wildlife, Bird Divi-sion, Office of Infectious Diseases sent me an alert this week warning of a virus that has hit several species of birds recently. unfortunately, this virus, called Ornifluis lupdyluis is target-

ing many of our most common feeder birds: titmice, chickadees, goldfinches, etc. It is a virulent virus and can wipe out a songbird population in days.

A simple product with prototypical nucleic enzymes has proved useful in preventing this disease from spreading. The product, called VIRAWAY, is however, very expensive. But luckily for Duxbury residents we have ac-cess to a supply of generic VIRAWAY that the town is willing to give to us for FREE! I talked to the town wildlife manager, Catherine Featherstonhaugh and we came up with a simple way to distribute the medicine. On Thursday, April 2, simply hang a clean, clear plastic bag on your mailbox. The town will drive by and drop the VIRAWAY in the bag between 10 a.m. and 8 p.m. To insure that your backyard birds are safe, merely sprinkle two tablespoons of VIRAWAY on the ground around your feeders. The product instantly destroys the virus.

On a more personal note, I just received the Michael X. O’Connor Ornithology Writers Award for 2008! I tied with an-other nature writer, Sparky Wilder for first place. The prize? A three hour tour of the atmosphere! Well, not exactly the atmo-sphere but Sparky and I will be going up to 20 thousand feet in a hot air balloon along with two Massachusetts Audubon ex-perts to observe a rare species of swallow that never comes to land. This crazy bird, the Cloud Swallow (Pseudochelidoninae altitudinus) spends its entire life on the wing at high altitudes, eating insects, mating and sleeping while flying (!) and swoops close to land to drop its eggs into old crow or eagle nests in the spring. We will be very lucky to spot an egg drop but just the chance to see one of these birds will be worth the inconve-nience of having to wear an oxygen tank to survive the thin air. The balloon lifts off from Duxbury Beach on Friday, April 3 at 12 noon. Come by and wish me luck!

Happy April 1.

WhAt’S YourS? ShAre Your vieWS in our SounDing off SeCtion

We congratulate all the winners in Saturday’s election. They all worked hard, campaigned well, and deserve their victories. But here at the

Clipper, we always have a soft spot for the so-called “losers,” the also-rans. So here’s to those who ran and lost on Saturday, a nod to those who participated in the democratic process even if the results weren’t what they wanted.

Town Moderator candidate Robert Mustard always provides an entertaining and thought-provoking campaign. Although we do have one suggestion –– the man obviously has some creative thoughts about town government that could help the town. Maybe it’s time to hang up the Ahab-like quest of seeking the moderator seat and try another board?

Mustard’s wife, Kate Sturgis, also had some interesting ideas during her run for library trustee. We hope to see her stay involved in the town going forward. John Murdock, who unsuccessfully sought a Planning Board seat, seems devoted and very knowledgeable about land planning issues. We’re sure he’ll find a place to contribute to the town. Glenn Listernick is a quintessential educator who knows his stuff, and his positive, upbeat attitude after the election bodes well for his future.

Also on Saturday, Andre Martecchini lost his seat on the Board of Selectmen after 12 years of service to the town. We congratulate Chris Donato on an excellent campaign, and wish him well, but as Donato himself said on Saturday night, Martecchini deserves to be honored for the time and effort he gave to Duxbury over more than a decade as a selectmen. Martecchini was always friendly, approachable, and thoughtful during his time in office, always willing to revisit an issue or hear an opposing point of view. During his tenure, the town became more online and user-friendly, adopted the Community Preservation Act and enacted the pay-as-you-throw recycling program, among other positive steps. We’re certain we’ll still see Mr. Martecchini around town, working on other committees. The town owes him a debt of thanks for his work.

Congratulations to the winners –– and losers

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the many people who sup-

ported me on Election Day and over the years. Although I was disappointed by the outcome, I am very proud of the many things that I was able to accom-plish over the past 12 years as your selectman. There were many challenges along the way, but also many rewards. Dux-bury has a long rich history, and I was happy to have played a small part in it. Of course nothing I did could have been achieved without help from so many dedicated volunteers and our outstanding professional staff. If there is one thing that I learned, nothing gets done in town by any one individual, but only through a team effort. We may not always agree with each other on policy issues, but as long as we act civilly and with respect towards each other, we maintain the community fabric that is the essence of Duxbury.

Many people have asked that I ask for a recount of the

close vote. With only a 24 vote difference out of 3,152 votes cast, there is always a possibil-ity that the outcome could be different after a recount. How-ever, I believe a recount would be divisive and an unnecessary expense to the town. I gra-ciously accept the results, and congratulate Chris Donato on a very well organized campaign that brought many new voters to local elections. It just goes

to show just how important your vote is!

I would like to thank my fellow selectmen that I had the privilege of serving with. Friend Weiler, Margaret Kear-ney, John Tuffy, Betsy Sullivan and Jon Witten taught me, in-spired me, made me laugh, and sometimes made me angry - but most of all they were some of the most dedicated individuals I have ever met. I also would like to thank our Town Man-ager, Richard McDonald, and the dedicated staff in the select-men’s office for all their help in making me look good.

And finally, I have to thank my wife Stephanie and daugh-ter Emily for allowing me to pursue my dream. All of us who spend endless nights at meetings know how difficult it can be on family life. I was proud that Emily got to cast her first vote for me! I know that I could never have done what I did without their support.

The process leading to the recommendation of a new school start

time was seriously flawed. The Superintendent worked with a subcommittee of the school councils to examine the poten-tial benefits of the change on high school students. Howev-er, the Superintendent made the decision not to seek broader in-put from stakeholders. As one of the school committee mem-bers pointed out, this omission directly contradicted school committee policies.

As a result, the last school committee meeting was domi-nated by discussion from those opposed to the change. They

presented both opinions and facts that had never been con-sidered or presented to the com-mittee prior to their decision to make the change, such as sleep deprivation for Alden students, loss of family time, safety is-sues, and impact on special education students. Since these were not considered, discussed, or brought forth prior to the 3-2 vote, the school commit-tee did not receive relevant information needed to make an informed decision. Also, no discussion among school committee members took place prior to the vote.

As a result, they are be-ing asked to rescind their vote.

Some question why the com-mittee should consider chang-ing its’ vote, as this was a dem-ocratic process. The answer is that any process that does not follow its own rules, does not look at all the relevant in-formation, and does not allow for input and discussion, is not democratic!

School Committee mem-bers are being urged to rethink their position and at the very least, take a step back and go back to the drawing board. Given the way this whole pro-cess was handled it seems rea-sonable to do just that.

Town officials need to seriously consider that Article 3 (Police station design) and Article 4 (Fire station reno-vation) did not pass at Town Election because Article 2

(Combo police and fire station)--an article that was not even on the table anymore-- appeared on the ballot. It is possible that many of the 663 “yes” votes the combo project article received became “no” votes for the individual police and fire projects. Although the ballot has to be printed far in advance of the election, there should have been signage at the polls to clearly explain the changes that had occurred in the interim, including also that the police article only pertained to design and not construction as stated on the bal-lot. Debt exclusion language seems to have caused confusion as well. I believe the town as a whole is supportive of these projects and if it can be determined that an inaccurate and unclear ballot may very likely have caused them to be voted down, I urge of-ficials to take any steps necessary to remedy this very unfortunate outcome.

“So, how do you like the new digs?”


To all our friends -- As most of you know, on March 5 we lost a

truly amazing man. We are all very sad with the passing of our dad, but we were blessed to be able to spend his last few days all together with him.

We moved to Duxbury in January 1970, where my broth-ers and sisters and I all went through our school years. The five of us all got married here and we still come back for the fourth of July parade every year. Mom and Dad regrettably sold the house on Keene Street in 2001 but they were still heavily involved with their church.

Since moving to Duxbury, Dad could always be found at an early morning hockey prac-tice with my brothers or coach-ing several years of baseball and My Gal softball. His post at church seemed to be at the back greeting and finding seats for the “late comers” and hand-

ing the baskets out for collec-tion. He loved his church and this town very much. He fre-quented the Milepost where he and my mom made several good friends over the years. Grow-ing up with Dad we could al-ways count on having the loud-est cheers and criticism ( all for good reason, of course). We knew the loudest clap or laugh would be coming from his side of the auditorium during our performances in the high school plays. Even if you were not one of his kids you could hear him yelling your name from the top row of the bleachers during a football or soccer game. The strangest thing though, as kids we never really minded or got embarrassed because that was Dad and we knew it meant he was proud of us. We only hope he knew how proud of him we all were.

The day of his wake hun-dreds of people came to bid

him a final farewell, as sad as we were, our hearts were lifted up to hear the memories you all shared with us. I do not know if he realized how many lives he touched and how many lives he changed just because he cared. His greatest passion was to teach no matter what form, so no matter how he taught you, whether on the field, the ice, in school, or just in life, take with you what you learned and pass it on the someone. We can be assured that wherever he is, he is trying to fix this economic crisis going on in the world. We can also be assured that the four major sports teams should win their respective titles this year and, of course, the Masters will go to Tiger again and the BC football team will, of course, win every game. Duxbury will forever be embedded in our hearts and his. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Sleep vote should stay

By Rhoda au

On Feb. 4, the School Committee voted 3-2 in fa-vor of a change in school start times so that DMS/DHS students would start school later, and Alden

students would start earlier. The School Committee consid-ered all the evidence and exercised their elected responsibility of casting a vote on behalf of what is best for the majority of students, not just some of the students.

Since that vote, a group of parents in strong opposition to this decision are going to great lengths to try and overturn it. While they may find strength in their resolve, their efforts have resulted in misinterpretation and misrepresentation of the scientific evidence.

How do I know this? In addition to being a Duxbury par-ent, I also am a research neuropsychologist at Boston Uni-versity School of Medicine. I study the brain and behavior. While I do not specialize in sleep, my colleagues include re-searchers who do. Through this professional network, I have been in touch with sleep researchers from Boston University School of Medicine, Harvard Medical School and the College of the Holy Cross. The overwhelming consensus among re-searchers regarding chronic sleep deprivation in adolescents and its negative impact on academic, mental and social behav-ior strikes me as extraordinary. It is rare to have such con-sistency in results, particularly in studies of complex human behaviors, such as sleep. My colleagues have also reviewed much of the “research” of the opposition and do not believe it has any merit because the data were misappropriated from sleep disorder studies that are not relevant to the general sleep patterns of adolescents and children and the change in school start times.

But whether the research findings are sufficiently compel-ling to all is no longer the issue. The vote has been taken and the evidence suggests that this decision was made with the best interest of all students in mind. Now the question is whether a precedent should be set that every time a group of people disagrees with the vote of elected officials they can employ all forms of pressure tactics to have it set aside or reversed? We elect people to take on the hard challenges and lead our community in the directions they feel is best. Should we ever deviate from that system, from here on out, elected officials who are supposed to be our community leaders can never be certain about their vote again.

I would encourage the School Committee to continue ed-ucating the community as to why their decision benefits all students in Duxbury as well as to keeping parents informed of resources available to accommodate this change. But I would strongly oppose reversing the decision.

My conviction that the majority vote should stand was made even stronger when one of the pre-eminent researchers in the study of adolescents and sleep shared with me details about a recent e-mail incident. Apparently a parent from Dux-bury who has been a vocal opponent of the School Committee decision contacted this researcher as well. This parent sent the researcher e-mails challenging her about her research, and because this researcher could not support the position of this parent, the parent’s e-mails got increasingly angry. The re-searcher told me that they bordered on harassment and that she was forced to break off communication because of the hostili-ty that was being expressed. I find this information disturbing, disheartening, and embarrassing for the Duxbury community. It suggests that the group opposed to this initiative is not try-ing to seek the truth, but is manipulating and distorting the re-search, and even challenging the very researchers themselves to get the answers and the vote they personally want. Are these the actions that the people of Duxbury want to support? Is this what the students of Duxbury deserve?

Dr. Amy Wolfson, Professor of Psychology at the College of the Holy Cross would like to invite the Duxbury communi-ty to attend her presentation at Silver Lake Middle School on Tuesday, April 28. She welcomes the opportunity to educate parents about why the vote taken by the School Committee is, in her professional opinion, the right one.

To the School Committee members, I wish you strength and fortitude. My exposure to the depths of what parents will go to when they don’t get the result they want suggests that your position takes courage, patience and resolve. As a re-searcher, I have the luxury of presenting the facts as best as they can be known. But you have the burden of what to do with it. I’m confident you will do the right thing and stand by the Feb. 4 decision. After all, that is why we voted for you.

Next time you strap your child into a car seat and think about

his or her safety, realize that there was a time when there were no car seats. They came about through new research studies and public policy in-tervention. Look at that same child and realize that one day he or she will be driving a car for the first time as a teen. You see, children grow up. Think about the fact that the high-est rate of mortality in teens is from driving drowsy – not driving drunk. And we have the research now that tells us why. Adolescents, who have little driving experience, are the most sleep deprived age group. This combination is often di-

sastrous. There is information at the Duxbury Schools Web site if you would like to see for yourself. While there are many advantages we can give to our children, perhaps set-ting limits and putting them to bed consistently at 8:30 a.m. as fourth graders is one of the best to assure that they are healthy and happy. It’s a different case with teenagers. Puberty trig-gers a real and biological sleep change that does not allow them to go to bed early. The School Committee decision to change school start time takes this ma-jor difference in these two age groups into account. We want all our children to thrive, but the 45 minutes of extra sleep gained in the morning to accom-

modate the sleep deprivation of a teen might just save his life. You see, that fourth grader isn’t behind the wheel of a car. But wait…he will grow up and then he too will benefit from this change. All too soon, it will be his sleep-deprived mind direct-ing his behavior instead of you. Let’s just hope some Duxbury parents can grow up, too. This is not about people’s opinions. This is about public policy in-tervention. And doing the best thing for all our children - who do grow up. We can’t change biology, but we can accommo-date it. And everyone will be the better for it.

I want to commend the ef-forts of the high school students who wrote of

their concerns with the change in school start times. They are in good company as many stu-dents and parents have voiced these concerns across the coun-try. Luckily, there is good data to alleviate their concerns.

Excellent reports from the Center for Applied Research and Educational Improvement at the University of Minnesota are available online and are well worth a look. Researchers studied the impact of a change in school start time from 7:15 a.m. to 8:40 a.m. affecting 12,000 students in seven Min-neapolis schools. They studied school records, surveyed 1,200 students and 250 parents.

Their findings included: children at those schools did NOT go to bed any later than their peers at other schools. They did however wake nearly an hour later each day, yield-ing nearly five additional hours of sleep each week! There are at least four other studies with similar results.

In surveys and focus groups, parents and students felt less rushed and actually talked to each other over break-fast before school. Parents found renewed connections with their teens. Some kids

met for rehearsals and clubs before school, while others met with teachers and received ex-tra help. Fewer kids fell asleep during class. Students were less stressed and reported fewer symptoms of depression.

Afterschool activities were affected by the time change. Practices started later and some students missed classes at the end of the day to travel to away games. Nonetheless, participa-tion in extracurricular activities did not change. Many activi-ties saw students more alert and energetic at the end of the day.

Perhaps the most telling finding was the broad accep-tance of the time change: in a formal survey one year after

implementation, 93 percent of parents were “pleased”, while less than 5 percent were not; similar levels of satisfaction were reported for students, fac-ulty and staff.

While many parents and students in Duxbury are un-derstandably anxious about the coming change, they should take heart in the overwhelm-ingly positive Minneapolis ex-perience. Duxbury belongs in the vanguard of public schools in the Commonwealth and na-tionally. I applaud the school administration, school councils and school committee for em-bracing this simple change.

On behalf of the committee for the All-Sports Tag Sale to benefit Crossroads for Kids, we would like to thank the Duxbury Clipper for helping us with publicity and the

Vercollone & Haffey families for donating the location fee. The Senior Center was such a great location for us; and we greatly ap-preciate the assistance of Frank Davis, Joanne Moore and Nancy Hayes.

To the many Duxbury families who donated and purchased the wide array of sports items, helping us raise over $1,700, we are grateful. This is a town-wide effort for an excellent cause and will help Crossroads to assist at-risk youth both during summer vaca-tion and in their all-year program as well.

Please mark your calendars for the same time period next year and save your used sports equipment for us to sell.

Too much art and too little me. This past Saturday found me at three major

events. I’m certain I missed one or two, and I never made it to the dump. I’ll write about the Plymouth Philharmonic’s season finale, but housekeeping first.

Duxbury High School Drama and Thespian Troupe #355 wowed the audience at “States” with their best-ever performance of “The Sacrificial King.” They were not selected to go

on to the New England festival, but they got to meet the playwright, share a dinner with her, and see a string of fabulous plays over the three-day

event. More on that next week.The Friends of the Duxbury Free

Library took a bang-up crowd of supporters to “The Sands” for a gala fundraiser, Las Vegas style. I slipped in at the end to find a still-bubbling gallery of teens (the Bookmarks Reading Club) and scrumptious bon vivants enjoying each other, the gambling, and some fine wine and snacks. More on the Friends when I catch my breath.

Section B • Wednesday, April 1, 2009

By Julie Hatfield and timotHy leland

We knew the fish served for lunch were fresh. Just

ten minutes before, our captain had plucked them from a wire basket he had pulled from the water onto the boat.

Once aboard, the fish were barbequed whole on a grill in the bow before appearing at our table on the stern deck of our “gullet,” (pronounced goo-lette), an 85-foot replica of a traditional Turkish fishing boat. We ate them with warm bread, tomatoes, two kinds of olives, mixed salad, feta cheese, stuffed peppers, bulgar and strawberries.

Fresh food and brilliant sunshine are a part of every small-yacht cruise along the Aegean and Mediterranean coasts. But it’s the color of the water – a dazzling, clear, intense blue – that brings trav-elers here from all over the world. At greater depths the water becomes a strong cobalt blue, morphing into a lighter

luminosity that mimics the semi-precious gem and gives this part of Turkey its name: the Turquoise Coast.

Running from Bodrum -- the St. Tropez of Turkey -- to Finike near Antalya, the

Turquoise Coast borders both the Aegean and Mediterranean seas. In Turkey, to sail and mo-tor in and out of tiny secluded coves and inlets at the foot of the precipitous fir-sided Taurus Mountains is to take “the Blue Voyage,” a trip that draws tourists all over.

We boarded our gullet on a soft afternoon last spring along with a dozen other Americans. Eyeing our dusty sandals as we stepped onboard the polished teak deck, the smiling cap-tain showed us the cupboard for our shoes and indicated that we should never wear our street shoes on this gleaming wood.

Captain Dursun-Ay and his two sons who made up the crew, spoke no English and none of us spoke Turkish. Throughout the trip, however,

one of our fellow travelers, a sailor, carried on animated “marine speak” with him, in-volving engines, sails and nav-igation.

We boarded at Marmaris, its harbor full of flag-deco-rated gullets of different sizes but all with the characteristic pointed bow and rounded aft, equipped with mainsail, jib, genoa and mizzen mast. Walk-ing up the gangplank we could see the Greek island of Rho-des, the last inhabited large is-land we’d be near for the rest of our cruise. An hour or so later, after our vessel had left the harbor, we saw nothing but that mesmerizing water and the Taurus Mountains in the far distance, topped with white rocks that looked like snow.

Turkish delightDuxbury residents absorb culture, history and food on Mediterranean cruise

An exhibit at The Art Complex Mu-seum in Duxbury provides an op-portunity to view what an artist

can do with collages of original drafts from world-famous writers and the expression of her own inner landscapes. Well-known Mar-tha’s Vineyard artist, Cindy Kane, is the first of three women painters to exhibit individually in On Their Own, the museum’s solo exhibi-tion program at The Art Complex Museum in Duxbury.

For several years, Ms. Kane has been in-corporating artifacts, sheet music, road maps and cursive writing practice sheets into her work. Recently, she began thinking about what it would be like to paint on the original notes and manuscripts of writers. As a result, she approached Vineyard writers, Ward Just, Geraldine Brooks, Tony Horwitz, Rose Sty-ron, Charlayne Hunter-Gault and Jules Feiffer who all agreed to offer their notebooks for her to copy. Just seeing the notes of these authors, some of whom are Pulitzer prize winners, is exciting.

The exhibit is on view until May 17. A closing reception will be held on Sunday, May 17, from 1:30 until 3:30 p.m.

Also on exhibit at the museum are Shaker Chairs and Duxbury Art Association Annual Winter Juried Show.

Far out at the Philfull concert of their 93rd season brought the year’s music to a close, but not an end. A close: the selection of music rounded out the year with a whirlwind vacation to the Mediterranean, the Appalachians, and across the universe with a Big Bang. Not an end: the Phil will celebrate a “Pops” concert May 9 at 8 p.m., joined by “Rockapella,” the a cappella group that you remember from the PBS television show, “Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?”

Director Steven Karidoyanes led the trip with a start in Rome (Berioz’s “Roman Carnival Overture,”), but the trip really took off with the next piece, Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov’s “Capriccio Espagnole.” This musical tour of Spain in five movements highlights Rimsky-Korsakov’s skill in orchestration, the composer or arranger’s choices of which instruments will play the piece’s various themes. Orchestration gives the music color and substance, the difference between a gong and a triangle, a flute or a tuba, a shimmering plain or a cozy fireplace. Susan Halpern’s program notes explain that Tchaikovsky himself, another master of orchestration, counted Rimsky-Korsakov “the greatest master [of orchestration] of the present day.”

For this piece, the Phil was joined by the Bay Youth Symphony (the Bays), a program of the South Shore Conservatory. Steven serves as the artistic advisor for the group, Jim Vinci, music director, and Candace Kniffen, managing director. The combined orchestras joined seamlessly to perform “Capriccio Espagnole,” and added a surprise: Aaron Copland’s “Hoe-down” from “Rodeo.” Both pieces were stunning, and unmistakably enjoyed by the players as well as the audience. I nearly jumped up to dance.

Matthew Sorensen’s contemporary piece, “String Theory and the Universe” gave another view of the rich orchestration available to a symphonic composer. Its world premier, the performance started with the Big Bang: rich, layered and complex rather than an obvious crash of everyone’s loudest sound. One sensed order out of chaos, comical, gangly creatures unbound by Earth’s biology, and the occasional slice of a galaxy spinning past as dimensions change places in a cosmic cross-section. Just to make sure we saw what we saw (and as a recording gift to the young composer), Steven led us through the trip a second time as splendid as the first.

The evening’s finale, Tchaikovsky’s “Capriccio Italien,” proved that Tchaikovsky was just the man to compliment Rimsky-Korsakov’s orchestration, and that the Phil continues to shine as a first quality orchestra. And yes, Steven drove his orchestra through Tchaikovsky’s wild finish, and the season’s finale, with absolute control and command. No, better than that: with complete abandon.

At anchor that night, snug in our cabin, the deep silence of the remote bay made for peaceful sleep. We under-stood, on these quiet nights, why Homer called the Ae-gean coastline “the country of dreams.” (Had we wished to sleep outside, the deck at the bow was covered with soft blue pallets for lying under the moon and stars.)

Each day we had the op-tion of staying onboard or rowing to shore to see one of the historic ruins that seem to fill every inch of this country. There are 300 ancient cities in Turkey, and everywhere there are signs of the people who once lived in them -- from the Greeks to the Romans to the Arabs to the Ottoman Turks and their neighbors. Few oth-er places have been home to so many different cultures over so many centuries.

St. Paul and St. Nicho-las, Homer and Herodotus, all came from the land that is now Turkey. Aristotle taught philosophy here and Diogenes searched for an honest man.

The western shores of Turkey begin along the Darda-nelles, the ancient Hellespont, and the density of Hellenic ruins along Turkey’s Aegean and Mediterranean coasts is mind- boggling.

We saw signs of one of the area’s oldest civilizations when we took a skiff up the Dalyan River, passing fishermen who stood along its marshy edges catching blue crabs. The scene resembled the Mekong Delta in Vietnam. Farther along, steep cliffs rose up from the riverbanks. Peering up at them we could see a honeycomb of tombs carved into the sheer precipice, intriguing relics of ancient Lycia. Similar to the actual structures in which the Lycians lived and worshipped in the 4th Century B.C., these strange tombs have a somber beauty about them, a brooding connection to the people who lived in this region 2,400 years ago.

On another day we went ashore at Gemiler Island to walk up the mountainside to a 6th Century Byzantine monas-tery with one of the most spec-tacular views in all of the Med-iterranean. Abandoned in the 12th Century, the stone build-ing still retains its majesty.

Speaking of abandonment, the ghost town of Kayakoy – whose Anatolian Greek resi-dents were forced back to their homeland after the Turkish War of Independence in 1923 -- was our next day’s destina-tion. Two churches and some 2,000 stone houses built along a mountainside stand eerily empty. A dozen sheep were milling about the sanctuary in one of the churches when we entered. The Ministry of Culture is in the process of restoring the town as a history museum.

After our daily touring of so many ancient ruins, we were brought pleasantly back to modernity aboard our yacht one afternoon by the jingle of

an ice-cream truck – make that an ice-cream boat -- manned by a local vendor, who rowed up on the starboard side and passed treats over the railing. Even more surprising (and de-lightful) was the arrival next morning of the “crepe boat.” On the bow of the little dory was a woman cooking crepes over a tiny grill, while her hus-band steered from the stern. We debated whether to have a fruit-and-honey or chocolate-banana crepe for breakfast, and finally decided to have both.

That day, we hiked for three hours from the cove of Aga Limani into the moun-tains, enticed by the sweet smell of rosemary and euca-lyptus and the sight of lush oleander blossoms beside the trail as we made our way to Lydea, a Greco-Roman site where a goat herder was still using a Roman cistern for his fresh water. When a person lives on a piece of land for 20 years in this area of Turkey, he

is allowed to claim it, and the man and his wife had planted olive trees, peppers, tomatoes, eggplant, mint and onions with that purpose in mind.

Another herder offered to cook a goat for our din-ner, and a dozen of our group took him up on it. (We weren’t among them.) That evening he brought the meal out to the boat. “Similar to pot roast but gamier, with more fat,” was the critique.

For our part, we were happy to have another vari-ety of freshly caught fish that the captain served, along with “simit,” the classic sesame bread shaped like a giant ba-gel, and raki, the powerful alcoholic drink of new grape and anise seed.

That was about the only alcoholic drink we had on the trip. Although Turkey is 99 percent Muslim, the Turks proudly say they are a secular country and alcohol is readily available to non-Muslims. But the Muslim influence of the government results in a heavy tax on liquor. A Scotch and water can cost up to $25, as much as some dinners in rural Turkey.

We returned to Aga Limani Cove for a swim in the Sunken Baths of Cleopatra, built by Mark Antony, who gave the entire Turquoise Coast to the Egyptian queen as a wedding gift. Here, in the crystalline blue water, we paddled around the stone maze where Cleo-patra once swam, feeling like royalty.

Each evening at sunset, Bahar Kahraman, our tour director, offered us optional lectures. Fluent in English, he held forth on fundamentalist Islam, the rich history of Tur-key and the touchy political situation between his country and Greece on the island of Cyprus.

Kahraman’s lectures were as complex as Turkey itself, and they made us want to re-turn soon to explore more of the extraordinary culture and history of this fascinating part of the world.

Dragons’ DenSports Editor Mike Halloran • [email protected]

By mike Halloran sports editor [email protected]

It’s springtime in Duxbury, and the talk of the high school sports season usually revolves around the lacrosse team’s winning streak. But now it’s time to talk of another Dux-bury team that has its own im-pressive winning streak going with hopes of continuing it for a fifth straight season in 2009.

Coach Barney Earle’s Duxbury baseball team may not make state or national headlines, but they seem to be doing quite well in their own little universe, having won four straight Patriot League titles with an excellent chance for a repeat.

Starting his 17th season on the bench, Earle will have to battle through another layer of competition this year with the addition of Whitman-Hanson, Quincy, and North Quincy into the Patriot League family, while Hingham should contin-ue to be the Dragons’ toughest opponent.

Despite what looks like a very tough schedule with the likes of Division II State champion Plymouth North in the opener and a pair of games with arch-rival Marshfield, the Duxbury coach is confident his team, which includes eight veteran starters and three re-turning pitchers, is primed and ready to take on anyone with-out any fears.

“Experience, pitching

depth, and the ability to score some runs should make us a pretty formidable team,” said. Earle. “I guess you could say we are a very balanced team.”

Pitching is the name of the game, and Duxbury has five hurlers that Earle feels can take the mound anytime and put his team in a position to win.

“Jeff Blout, Phil Sciret-ta, Tyler Genereux, Stephen Blout and Conor Anderson are our five pitchers,” said Earle. “I’ve got enough kids who can throw if we get in a jam, so we

aren’t just running two kids out there every other day which is a nice position to be in.”

Earle is undecided who will pitch Wednesday’s non-league opener with Plymouth North, as Friday’s Patriot League match in Hingham at 3:30 p.m. could be far more critical down the road.

“Jeff Blout throws in the mid-80s and has a pretty good curve ball that can buckle some knees,” said his coach. “He’s working on a change-up and he does have the velocity that can overpower some kids. It’s nice having a lefty like Phil who has good velocity and an overhand curveball that really runs in on right-handed hitters. This is his first year pitching with me, but he has thrown AAU baseball for a couple of years and he really threw well in our scrimmage last week. In Genereux you have a kid that is always going to be around the plate. He won’t be over-powering, but he’s going to get people out.”

Senior catcher Colin Woods will handle the pitch-ing staff after doing an admi-rable job behind the plate in 2008, while Jim Landry will serve as a backup.

When Sciretta is not pitch-ing, he’ll be manning the bag at first after a freshman year in which he was named a Patriot League All-Star, a Patriot Led-ger All-Scholastic (HM), and led the team in hitting with a .480 average.

“He plays a very solid first base and that is his natural po-sition,” said Earle. Senior Tom Dacey will serve as the backup at first base.

Matt Savard will see con-siderable time at second base, where he has done a nice job defensively and can swing a solid bat. Liam Bevans should also get a shot at playing time at second, but is versatile enough that Earle could put him at different positions.

Senior Sean Cross will pa-trol shortstop for the Dragons for the third straight year.

“He’s as good as anyone in the league defensively and I expect him to break out at the plate this year,” said Earle. Steve Blout will sub for Cross when he needs a break.

Genereux will move over to third base after playing sec-ond in 2008.

“He swings a good bat (2-run HR vs. Cohasset) and is a hell of an athlete. He’s still learning how to play third, but

he’ll be fine.” Junior Conor In-glis will serve as his backup.

Pat McWilliams will start in left after a solid sophomore season, with Jeff Blout ready as his replacement and as one of the team’s designated hit-ters.

Coming back for his third year as a starter in centerfield is Iowa-bound Shane DiBona, who is the team’s power-hitter in the middle of the order, hav-ing clocked some titanic blasts in his first two years on the var-sity. Sitting and waiting for his chance at some playing time in center will be Tom Guilfoyle, who is as solid an outfielder as you can get.

“He’s great defensively and the kind of kid you can put in the game in the late innings. He is also showing us in the pre-season he can swing the bat too.”

Third-year veteran Jack Garrity will handle the chores in right field, with Anderson backing him up.

“We have some kids down on the JV team that can really play too,” said Earle. “It’s just a matter of numbers with all the returning players we had this year, so we kept them down there to get playing time.”

While Earle is confident he has all the parts to make anoth-er run at the title, his only con-cern might be over-confidence by his players.

“You worry about them getting a little complacent because they know they have so many returnees. They’ve heard people talk about them and think they are a lock for it. I just don’t want them rolling out there expecting to win ev-ery game just by showing up.”

Another streak on the line

NO SOPHOMORE WOES: Phil Sciretta led the team in hitting as a freshman and will now take his shot in the pitching rotation.

ANOTHER SOLID PERFORMER: Senior Tyler Genereux is expected to be a major contributor to Duxbury’s strong rotation.

The 2009 DHS boys’ ten-nis squad looks to be a made-over unit this year, as Coach John Bunar welcomed a host of new players with the skill, athleticism and drive to make an immediate impact.

“Not since the mid ‘90s have I seen a freshmen group with the size and ability of this year’s group,” said the veteran coach.

Leading the new recruits will be returning varsity vet-erans: seniors Connor Dunphy and TJ Scholberg, as well as #1 singles player sophomore

Brayden Minahan. Bunar’s lineup looks set

for the beginning of the sea-son, with the important #1 slot being handled by Minahan.

“Brayden is one in a long line of great Duxbury #1 sin-gles players. As much as his skill leads us in competition, his leadership during practice is just as valuable,” says Bu-nar.”

The Dragons will have a surprise entry in the #2 singles slot, as freshman Peter Munc-ey made the difficult trek up the ladder. Muncey won the position with an all-court style

of play, backed by a tenacious competitive attitude.

At third singles, the Drag-ons will look to sophomore Alex Holopainen, whose strokes give him the potential to be very good. “I’m look-ing forward to seeing him im-prove with experience,” said his coach.

The Dragons have some experience at #1 doubles, as the tandem of captains Schol-berg and Dunphy will man this important post. Scholberg’s experience and competitive-ness combined with Dunphy’s power makes #1 doubles a

team strength. Senior TJ Cameron and ju-

nior Stephen Day got the nod to start the season at #2 dou-bles, as Bunar will rely on the duo to use their steady play to produce wins.

“I went with Stephen and TJ at this spot because I trust they will compete hard and work together to win.”

Players ready to step in and make an impact should the starters run into trou-ble include: seniors Kevin Dame, Mike Larkin, and Pat Murphy, along with juniors Pe-ter Tenaglia, and Mike Latorre.

Sophomores Ben Startzell, Pat Mahoney, Dan Fiset and An-drew Pierce will also compete for playing time with the likes of freshmen Connor O’Keefe, Erik Shneider and Dale Day.

“My doubles reserves are deeper than ever this season,” said Bunar. “The O’Keefe kid is pretty much ready now, and Ben Startzell will be a doubles monster by mid-season. Most of my other players would be first doubles starters on most teams.”

While Bunar likes what he has on his roster, he knows Hingham will be the team to beat in the Patriot League.

“I think the league title will be tough for us this year. Hing-ham returns six of the seven starters from last year’s Sec-tional finals team. They very well may be the best team in

the state. Scituate will also be a challenge for us in league play,” said Bunar. “The other big match on the schedule will be a non-league encounter with South Shore League foe Norwell High School. With all the inexperience we will be putting on the court, our best play will be towards the end of the season. I see us as be-ing very competitive with any team in the state by the time the tournament rolls around.”

There will be little rest for the Dragons this week, as they opened on Monday in Norwell, and hit the road again on Wednesday when they travel to Sandwich for a 3:30 p.m. match with the Blue Knights. On Friday they take on Hingham in their first Pa-triot League encounter.

DOuBLE THREAT: Connor Dunphy and T.J. Scholberg will form the Dragon’s #1 doubles team.

THE SuRPRISE OF CAMP: Freshman Peter Muncey made such an impression in the pre-season that he’s taken over the #2 slot.

Let’s hope Coach Carol Savino is wrong again this year.

After predicting a .500 sea-son in 2008, Savino watched with pride as her Lady Drag-ons went deep into post season play before dropping a heart- breaking decision to eventual State champion Ashland.

While this year’s squad will be missing Nicole Forlizzi (Assumption), Danielle Anto-nellis, and Anna Brady, Savi-no still feels confident that her team will be competitive every time they take the field as long as senior Casey Ducinski is on the mound.

Owner of an 18-7 record last year, Savino is pretty sure her team can get to the play-offs once again, as she relies heavily on her senior class to get the job done.

Returners Jacquie Cronin at second base, Kayla McGill-vray at third, Alanna Rourke behind the plate, Robin Ra-dar in right and Ducinski on the mound will be the nucleus for this year’s Duxbury team, while Savino tries to work in some underclassmen led by freshman shortstop Maddie Duddy.

“Maddie will be playing a very key position for us this year,” said Savino. “She’s still learning. But there is little doubt she’ll keep getting bet-ter, and I expect her bat to come around too.”

The freshman will be sur-rounded by veterans Cronin and McGillvray, who along with Laura Walter at first, will make up the Lady Dragon in-field.

“Laura was a key player as a junior and is very ver-satile. She can pitch too, but I think you’ll see her at first most of the time,” said Savino.

“Cronin is quick in the field and at the plate. She plays a very strong second base for us, while McGillvray is very solid at third and one of our power hitters in the third slot.”

Laura Donovan should see plenty of time in left field, as

Savino wants her bat in the lineup on a regular basis, while freshman Kristin McHugh has shown speed and a good eye at the plate, which should earn her some playing time.

Grace Kelso will be in center field where her speed helps her track down fly balls and her quickness makes her a bunting threat at the plate.

Rader will get the nod in right field with Ducinski on the mound, as most balls hit off the lefthander end up out there.

“She really knows how to read the angles on balls hit out

that way,” said Savino. “When Laura pitches you might see me switch her to center.”

If there is one position that Savino feels can’t be replaced other than Ducinski, it is her batterymate: catcher Alanna Rourke.

“I won’t be able to replace this kid for a long time,” said the Duxbury coach. “She is very good defensively and sets up nicely behind the plate. She played great ball all weekend out in Plainville and can really make contact. She just keeps hitting the ball further and fur-ther.”

If Rourke is considered ir-replaceable at 1A, than the se-nior lefthander is #1.

Considered one of the top pitchers in the Patriot League and on the South Shore, as well as Greater Boston, Ducinski will keep the Lady Dragons in all their games according to Savino.

Other players who will

make up the Lady Dragon roster include: senior Brianna Murphy, juniors Kerry Turok and Meghan Nelson, sopho-more Kim Bond, and fresh-man Laurel Duffy.

“We might takes our lumps early, but we’ll be better by the end of the year,” said Savino. “We have the speed and pitch-ing to make things happen. I’m just worried about the fact that we have so little time to prepare and we have some in-experience in the infield. The positives are we have a good working group of kids. It’s a good sign when you have a bunch of freshman who work hard because they want to get better.”

After opening on Wednes-day afternoon at home against Plymouth North, the Lady Dragons will take on Hingham on Friday afternoon at 3:30 p.m. in its Patriot League opener.

A CONFIDENT COACH: Head Coach Carol Savino gives some instructions to her players, who she feels will make it to post-season play in 2009.



The 2009 DHS girls’ tennis team will have a new leader at the helm, as DHS teacher Jutta Rossano takes over the reigns for retired teacher and coach Glenn Pina.

Rossano, a vocabulary and sign language teacher at DHS, was the full-time assis-tant coach last year after being around the team off and on for the past three seasons, so she isn’t coming into the program as a rookie.

While her tennis experi-ence has been mainly teaching youth, her real athletic strength has been as a karate teacher, and she hopes to use those teaching skills in developing a team that she feels will be competitive on a regular basis for years to come.

While Rossano calls this year’s squad a team in tran-sition, she does have several players with varsity experi-ence that she feels can get the Lady Dragons back into tour-nament play.

Sophomore Michaela Dowd will move up to #1 sin-gles this year after playing #3 last season.

“She’s a slugger,” said Rossano. “She really hits the ball hard and knows the court well and where she can put her power shots.”

While Dowd can once

again make Duxbury com-petitive at #1 singles, Rossano thinks that senior captain Liz-za Thomas at #2 singles and senior Annie Gluskin at #3 singles make the trio a formi-dable group.

“Thomas comes in with a very competitive edge and really wants to win, while Gluskin should be able to be a consistent winner at #3 with

a powerful shot that seems to get her off the ground with its intensity.”

With three solid players at singles, Rossano is hoping that her #1 doubles tandem can take some of the heat off her top three and help wrap the matches up early.

Senior captain Jane Mor-gan and junior Corey Tucker seem to have all the ingredi-

ents needed for a strong year.“Jane has a good sense

of team play and communi-cates well on the court,” said her coach. “Corey tends to be very aggressive at the net. I think they compliment each other well and both come on the court with a very positive attitude.”

The top five players on the team were easy selections for the new coach, but now the evaluation progress begins for Rossano at #2 doubles where seven players will vie for the slots.

“Don’t be surprised if you see me rotating all of them in the early going,” said the first-year head coach. “They all have about the same skill level, so this process should be very challenging for all of them.”

One thing Duxbury has going for it is that all the com-batants are underclassmen, so the competition could be ben-eficial in the long run.

Juniors Erin Nelson and Julia Allen possess the most experience in the group and could have a leg up in the early going.

“Erin has a solid game and is very goal oriented, while Julia is a very quiet competi-tor who goes about her game without much fanfare,” said Rosanno. “Reinhart is the only sophomore and is a very in-

tense, yet level-headed player. She is a problem solver, who can recognize things happen-ing on the court and make things happen. She is a real as-set to the team.”

The Lady Dragons have a foursome of freshmen who should become integral play-ers on the team and may get a chance to prove it early.

Lilly and Charlotte Weil, along with Caroline Phinney and Nicole Hanrahan have the tools to make a run at #2 doubles, while Phinney hits a mean ball with good pace ac-cording to Rosanno.

While 25 players tried out, the Duxbury coach kept them all with an eye toward the fu-ture.

“I view high school team sports as a learning experi-ence,” said Rosanno. “This is the time when you learn to sacrifice, to work as partners, learn how to handle defeat, and how and why to make sacrifices. I didn’t make any cuts because I never want to prevent any kid from getting a passion for this game.”

The girls will open their season on Wednesday after-noon when they host Notre Dame of Hingham at 3:30 p.m., followed by their first Patriot League match on Fri-day when they entertain Hing-ham at 4 p.m.

The Duxbury 7B girls trav-el basketball team won their divisional 7th grade champi-onship by defeating a tough Braintree team in a nail-biter, 26-25.

The team had earned a bye in the opening round of the playoffs, and then defeated Marshfield by a score of 38-25 to advance to the finals vs. Braintree. The team had split with Braintree during the regu-lar season in two close games.

Caitlin Turok led all scor-ers with eight points, followed by Nikki Vetsch and Katie Lar-sen with seven and six points respectively.

Brooke McCarthy contrib-uted with two important bas-kets and Miranda Boynton hit a crucial free throw to round out the scoring.

The Duxbury defense held off a quick Braintree team. Kyleigh Duddy, Meghan Za-verucha and Caroline Gearin

did a great job running the point, while Sydney Connor, Monica Duggan and Bella McGoldrick denied Braintree getting position close to the basket.

Katie Larsen hit the go ahead free throw as time was winding down. Braintree called a time out to try and set up the final chance to win the game.

The Duxbury defense held strong, with Turok contest-ing the shot and Vetsch puling down the rebound to end the threat.

After the game, the girls were presented with their championship trophies by the Old Colony League and with roses by their coaches.

The coaches wish to thank all of the girls for their tre-mendous effort and attitude all season long; as well as to all of the parents for their support during the season.
