After a proposal for new public safety facilities was de-feated at the ballot box for the second year in a row, members of the Public Safety Building Feasibility Study Committee are regrouping –– but remain convinced the current plan is what’s best for the town.

The committee met for the first time on Wednesday since two ballot initiatives were defeated by voters. A plan to refurbish the main fire station at a cost of $5.2 million and a request for $435,000 for plans

for a new police station were rejected at the spring town election. Last year, two sepa-rate plans for a new police sta-tion and a new fire station were also rejected at the polls.

Study committee chair-man Neil Johnson said the group had been working on the issue for over three years, examining multiple locations and possibilities –– including the idea of a combined public safety facility.

“It seems like forever,” Johnson said.

Three times a week, stu-dents from the Career Seminar class at Duxbury High School travel to the Duxbury Police Station to help out with a va-riety of tasks, from clerical to custodial work.

The students have become welcome faces at the station, praised by police staff for their cheerful attitudes and tireless work ethics.

Duxbury Idol was a sold out, smash-ing success. The crowd exploded in applause after every contestant

sang and many on hand said it was the best Idol yet. The night began with all the contes-

tants doing an opening number together and then the competition began.

The students’ talent was on display throughout the night but there can only be one winner and that was Victoria Larusso.

Chief Mark DeLuca, Paddi Donato, Mike Carter, Patrick McLeod, Katherine Granger, Kate Bonneau and Kristen Okerfelt outside the police station.

With swine flu reach-ing further across the nation, Duxbury Fire Chief Kevin Nord felt it was a good time to present the Board of Select-men with a plan that outlines who’s in charge of the town if its leaders were unable to per-form their duties.

Nord gave selectmen a draft of the “Continuity of Op-erations Plan” Monday night. It lists the procedures that must

take place if, during a major emergency, the town’s deci-sion makers fall ill and are un-able to act. Once it is finalized, it will name a list of succes-sors to Town Manager Richard MacDonald if he is unable to perform his duties.

“It addresses the ques-tion of how would the town of Duxbury continue to operate if we lost our leadership,” said Nord.

A healthy plan

A Duxbury man is being charged with dealing mari-juana after a raid of a Forest Street home involving officers from multiple towns.

Duxbury Police served a search warrant at 132 Forest St. on April 29 at 6:10 p.m. along with with officers from the Marshfield, Scituate, and Pembroke police departments, according to a police report filed in court.

Michael Zarrella, 23, was arrested at the home and charged with possession of a Class D substance and pos-session of a class D substance with intent to distribute, ac-cording to police. Two fire-arms were seized during the search, Duxbury Police Chief Mark DeLuca said in a state-ment. Police have also filed an application for charges against the homeowner, Robert Za-rella, for misdemeanor posses-sion of two firearms without an FID card. Zarella’s FID cards had expired, according to Lt. Lewis Chubb, therefore

he was charged with a misde-meanor rather than a felony.

Police searched all the rooms at the house as well as several people present and found .48 ounces of hashish and three-quarters of a pound of marijuana in Zarella’s bed-room, according to the police report, along with a box of plastic bags and a digital scale. Police say they also found a quantity of cash and other drug

paraphernalia.According to the report,

Zarella told police he kept the marijuana for personal use and sold some to his friends.

Zarella was arraigned in Plymouth District Court on April 29 and released on per-sonal recognizance, according to court documents. He is next due in court on June 10 for a pre-trial hearing.

Cooking school vacations evoke images of romantic Tuscan villas, bicycling baguette under arm across the French countryside to the farmer’s market, and

chef instructors with enticing accents and jaunty toques. If a European cooking vacation isn’t in your budget, consider these closer to home cooking schools. All located within a few hours

drive of Boston, these delicious inns, resorts, B&B’s and spas will satisfy your cooking-school craving.

The Essex, Vermont Culinary Resort and Spa www.vtculinaryresort.com

This resort has it all: golf, balloon rides, a spa and a full range of cooking classes, demonstrations, wine dinners and three on-site restaurants run by the students of the Vermont Culinary Institute.

The White Barn Inn, Kennebunkport, Maine www.whitebarninn.com

The resplendent White Barn Inn is now offering a Guest Chef Series with well known chefs from Relais & Chateaux properties around the world. The Guest Chef package includes breakfast, a two hour demonstration, afternoon tea and a nine course tasting dinner.

The Snow Village Inn, Conway, New Hampshire www.snowvillageinn.com

Recommended by Yankee Magazine and Bon Appetit, this quaint property offers a weekend cooking school package in a welcoming New England setting with views of Mt. Washington. Morning classes culminate in a luncheon, leaving the afternoon for hiking, shopping or enjoying the views.

The Williamsville Inn, West Stockbridge, Mass. www.williamsvilleinn.com

Intimate hands on classes with Master Chef Erhard Wendt take place in a state of the art kitchen housed in an Inn circa 1791. Offerings include German cooking (the chef’s specialty), baking, regional cooking and in the Autumn, mushroom hunting classes.

Woody Hill Bed & Breakfast, Westerly, Rhode Island www.woodyhill.com

This homey B&B offers open hearth, colonial style cooking workshops using antique and reproduction cookware and colonial techniques set in a reproduction “keeping room.” The B&B is set on a serene parcel of land that has been in the family for four generations.

www.selectregistry.com has a “Fun for Foodie’s” trail which highlights six Bed and Breakfasts around New England that offer cooking, baking and wine classes.

Tidbit: One of the sure signs that summer is on its way is the annual opening of Arthur & Pat’s restaurant in the Brant Rock neighborhood in Marshfield. Beat the summer rush and visit after their May 1 opening for a warm “Welcome Home” from De and a luscious lobster omelet.

The group has also scaled back the plans for new facili-ties, reducing the square foot-age in order to cut costs.

Overall, there seemed to be consensus among commit-tee members that the plan pre-sented to voters in March was still the best plan.

“Engineering-wise, I think we did the right thing,” said Johnson. “I don’t think it would be in the town’s best in-terest to cheapen these build-ings.”

“I think the program is still the program,” added former selectman Andre Martecchini.

On the subject of why the projects failed at the ballot box, however, the group was split.

Some members pointed to the fact that a question about a combined facility was on the ballot, even though the proposal had been dropped and wasn’t voted on at Town Meeting.

“I think having the ballot question for the combo station ... completely destroyed the votes we wanted to have,” said Fire Chief Kevin Nord.

No one from the police department was present at Wednesday’s meeting.

If all the “yes” votes for the combo station ballot ques-tion were transferred to the other question, both projects would have been passed.

Some members wondered if there should have been more of a concerted effort to edu-cate people at the polls about

the combo station option. Oth-ers thought that economic fac-tors contributed to the nega-tive vote.

“I personally think it was just too much money,” said Martecchini.

Committee member Geor-

gia Blatterman said the proj-ect’s failure was the result of a “perfect storm” of a host of factors, including the eco-nomic downturn, the number of projects on the ballot, and the confusion of the combo station.

“We were really doomed with what happened economi-cally,” she said.

Eventually the group de-cided to stick with the current proposals, to renovate the fire station and build a new police station on land off Mayflower Street. The next job is to con-vince the public, members said.

Martecchini said an issue is that the public safety proj-ects don’t have a natural con-stituency, like the pool, or the schools –– or even the Ashdod fire station from a few years ago, when residents from that neighborhood felt they were being underserved and mobi-lized at the polls.

Nord also pointed out that there is a ticking clock fac-tor to the public safety station issue. Just last week, water leaked from a bathroom at the fire station into a room below, causing $4,000 in damage to a building that will probably just be replaced at some point in the future.

Nord pointed out that the committee had effectively convinced Town Meeting vot-ers of the need for the projects, but not the public at large.

“I think the real project is ... we’ve got to convince people that this is a real need,” said Frank Mangione.

Public safety building group says current plan is good

PUBLIC SAFETY PROjECTS TIMELINE

August 2006: The Public Safety Building Feasibility Study Committee is commis-sioned by the Town Manager.

March 9, 2008: A $16.5 million plan for a new police station near the intersections of Routes 3 and 14 and a new fire station behind the existing facility off Tremont Street is approved by voters at Town Meeting.

March 22, 2008: The pro-posal, presented to voters as a single ballot question, is defeated at the polls during the annual spring town elec-tions.

March 16, 2009: Two public safety articles pass Town Meeting, one for $435,000 for design funds for a new police station off Mayflower Street, and one for a $5.2 million renovation of the existing main fire station. A proposal to build a combined facility on cemetery land is passed over.

March 28, 2009: The two ballot questions fail at the polls. The question regard-ing the combined station –– which still had to be on the ballot for legal reasons –– receives several hundred votes.

Book Club: The next book club meeting will be Thursday, May 21 at 7:30 at Julie Hamon’s house. We will

discuss “Rachel’s Holiday” by Marian Keyes. For more information, please contact Alison Estabrooks at 781-452-7055.

Patrick McLeod, a senior, and Katherine Granger, a ju-nior, both say they enjoy visit-ing the station.

“There’s always something to do here,” said Granger. “I really enjoy it.”

Granger has been work-ing with the chief’s assistant, Paddi Donato, who can’t say enough about the students.

“I’m so impressed with their professionalism, their maturity,” Donato said. “Ba-sically anything I’ve given them, they’ve done.”

Granger has done things like filing paperwork and mak-ing labels. She said she’s glad for the hands-on experience.

“You learn things here that you don’t normally do,” she said. “We come in here and do work rather than sit in a class-room for two blocks.”

The police have been asso-ciated with the Career Seminar class for two or three years, said Kate Bonneau, a special education teacher at the high school.

“The department’s made everyone feel welcome,” Bon-neau said. “The community has been really open to the program ... it’s been a wonder-ful opportunity.”

In addition to the students who work at the police station, one of the students from the class works with the medically fragile classroom at the Alden School and another helps out around the grounds at the high school.

McLeod works with Mike Carter, a mechanic and custo-dian at the station.

“It’s interesting,” he said of the work. “There’s a lot to do here.”

McLeod, who also re-cently became an Eagle Scout, said he likes coming to the sta-tion and meeting the police of-ficers.

The students weren’t just handed these jobs, however, they had to come down and

interview –– all part of the career training offered by the high school. The year-round program teaches resume writ-ing and interview skills along with vocational training.

“We can teach them the skills, but it’s wonderful to go out in the community and use those skills,” said instructional assistant Kristen Okerfelt.

Police Chief Mark DeLuca said town officials have been supportive of the program.

It’s not just the students who benefit from the program. McLeod and Granger have be-come favorites of the officers and the staff.

“It lights up the whole sta-tion every time they come in,” said DeLuca.

War Memorial Fund needs citizen supportRecently at Town Meeting, the War Memorial Restora-

tion Project was unanimously accepted. The funding ap-proved covers 80 percent of the expenses and the War Me-morial Committee was asked to create a fundraising group to raise the balance needed to complete this project. The Duxbury Rural and Historical Society has donated the first gift of $5,000 to kick off this campaign. The goal is to dedi-cate this beautiful Indiana limestone monument Veterans Day 2009. Any size donation is happily accepted; if every family in Duxbury donated $5 the goal would be reached! To make a donation or to join the committee, contact them: Town of Duxbury War Memorial Fund, Town of Duxbury, 878 Trem-ont St., Duxbury 02332. Checks should be made out to Town of Duxbury WMF.

“When you & your ride deserve perfection”photos By Josh Cutler

The annual c o m m u n i t y reading day

at the Chandler School brought town and school leaders into the class-rooms to read their favor-ite children’s books. The program was organized by reading specialists Nancy Lyons and Alice Gillan.

Reading day at Chandler

This year’s participants include more than two dozen dedicated readers. Among the scheduled readers were (not in order): Diane Meyers Pachla, Helen Fowler, Sue Wallis, Mandy McDevitt, Wayne Frieden, Helen Barrow, Marie Ryan, Lois McKeown, Kevin Nord, Pat Tarantino, Debbie Zetterberg, Tom Drummy, Diane Barker, Maureen Connolly, john Madden, Terry Lister, Susan Skeiber, jim Lessard, Alice Vautrain, Gerri Hahesy, Pamela Smith, Susan Landers, Anne Ward, Paul Mellen, janet Ritch, Tracy Mayo, Karen Fruzzetti, Chris Trombly, josh Cutler, Scott Lambiase, Mary Flanagan, Gail Callahan, Andrew Stephens and Mark DeLuca.

Clipper Publisher josh Cutler read “The Babe and I” to Chandler students and was dismayed to learn that three members of the class had never had their picture in the Clipper! Here now to rectify that is Mrs. Held’s second grade class: Top row: Dean Wahle, Melanie Cheal, Cullen Hunt, Chloe Richards, Mary Keohan, Colin Duffy, Teddy Griffin, joey Balzotti, Kyle Parry and john Roberts. Middle Row: Harry Settel, Kevin Burke, Isabella Corey, Emma Bishop, Lillian Ciocci, Sam Reagan and Lindsay Cooney. Bottom Row: Veronica Buell, Paul Glova, Isabel Diamond, Lily Horne and Leah Yucius.

Fire Chief Kevin Nord presented selectmen with a final draft of a policy on the use of the town’s emergency notification telephone system during Monday night’s meet-ing. Selectmen discussed this policy last month, but wanted input from the leaders of town departments. On Monday, they voted to adopt it with a change suggested by Nord.

The new procedures out-line who can use the emergen-cy notification system, when it should be used and what types of messages are allowed. The system, which uses computer-generated calls to automati-cally notify multiple residents with a pre-recorded message, can be used for both emergen-cy notices and urgent infor-mation. It cannot be used for personal use, for-profit activi-ties, advertising, political an-nouncements and improper or erroneous messages.

The system can also be used by the director of any town department for informa-tional notices, although these require written approval from the town manager or his rep-resentative 24 hours prior to sending out the message. Non-emergency information could include road closures, town meetings, or special events, among other things.

The change suggested by Nord is regarding when a town official uses the system for sending notices to his or her employees within a specific town department. The change approved by the selectmen allows messages to be sent to agencies related to a town department, such as the DPW

notifying snow plowers to begin their routes. Selectmen agreed these messages can be sent without prior town man-ager approval.

Selectmen also asked Nord about the efforts to regionalize the town’s emergency dispatch system. Nord said towns in Plymouth County have been awarded a $50,000 grant to hire a consultant to investigate the cost and feasibility to link

the dispatches of local towns. Funds for the study come from a 911 tax on cell phone use. Nord said one idea is to have the regional dispatch under the Plymouth County sheriff’s department, but he had doubts about this, because the state is taking over this department. Barnstable County has a good regional dispatch, Nord said. Selectmen asked for future up-dates.

IN OTHER BUSINESS, SELECTMEN:

• Discussed the upcoming land use forum on May 20. They identi-fied four topics for discussion: commercial zones, the Community Preservation Committee, uses for town land, and housing. The meeting, which is open to the public, will involve all town land-use boards and committees.

• Learned that the Wright building on St. George Street has been awarded a 2009 Preservation Award from the Massachusetts Historical Commission for its preservation and adaptive re-use. A formal award ceremony will be forthcoming.

• Discussed the site on Mayflower Street proposed for a new police station. Former selectman Ruth Rowley said the site was bought in 1970 as a buffer for the transfer station when it used to be a dump. She felt it should not be built upon. Rowley also asked selectmen to review the town manager act because she said it requires the selectmen to create a 25-year long-range plan for the town. Selectmen also discussed investigating if it would be pos-sible to use the land behind the fire station that was used as stump dump and for the dumping of the remains of the 1972 Vendome Hotel in Boston after it burned and collapsed. The town later took the land for non-payment of taxes. Selectmen felt that cleaning the site for a new police station would be too costly but said it should be looked into.

• Learned that the filed sub-bids for the pool renovation project came in last week and that the general contractor bids are due this week. The town is also devising a plan to pay back pool users any money they paid for memberships. The pool will be closed for at least six months during the project.

• Announced the Duxbury Open Space and Recreation Committee’s nature scavenger hunt will take place at the Myles Standish Reservation on Crescent Street on Sunday, May 17 at 1 pm. The event is free and will take place in light rain.

• Appointed Pauline Flynn and John Madden to the Old Colony Elderly Services for a one-year term.

Martecchini reception May 12The public is invited to a reception for

Andre Martecchini in recognition of and appreciation for his 12 years of service as a Duxbury selectman.

RESUMES at WORK

Sue Lawrence, representing the Duxbury Student Union, spoke to the Club about efforts to continue to operate a portion of the Wright Building, the former

library, for the students in grades six through 12, especially the students of the Middle School. This past year the students have had a place to go to play, study or socialize under supervision. Because of the cost of running the drop-in center, there are con-cerns about its opening for another year. Volunteers are being sought to staff the center and raise funds to support it. The Student Union membership consists of 164 students and typical daily use is about 30-59 kids a day. The DSu shares the Wright Building with the Duxbury Rural and Historical Society.

Past President George Prebola sat in for President Bruce Rutter. Plans for the Mother’s Day breakfast were discussed. Ocean Spray has again made a very generous donation of juices to be dispensed at the breakfast.

Chris Blake showed photographs showing that the Uganda dormitory is finished and new fundraising will start to help sup-port the students. Chuck Walker announced that his grandson has been accepted to West Point.

Sue Lawrence of the Duxbury Student Union, pictured with Alison Austin, was the featured speaker at the Rotary Club meeting.

Every year the Com-munity Garden Club of Duxbury cele-

brates Arbor Day by donating tree seedlings to the first grad-ers at Chandler School. Blue Spruce trees were given to each child this year. On Thurs-day, April 30, the children put on a delightful, enthusiastic program of songs and poetry by the flagpole in front of the school.

The trees come from the Massachusetts Tree Wardens’ and Foresters’ Association. This group assists many Ar-bor Day programs in schools throughout the state by grow-ing a variety of high quality tree seedlings for school chil-dren to plant.

Arbor Day began in the state of Nebraska in 1872. Ju-lius Sterling Morton, at that time a member of the state’s Board of Agriculture, was the man who promoted the idea.

GUARD DOG: Ruby Tuesday MacKenzie inspects the work of Community Garden Club of Duxbury members Reggie Bannerman, jeanette MacKenzie, Claudia McElduff, Mary Murphy, Monica Porter, and Barbara Taylor who bagged over 250 blue spruce seedlings which were distributed to students of the Chandler School on Arbor Day.

Larusso had the classic Miss America reaction, put-ting her hands over her face as tears of joy came to her eyes.

“I really didn’t think I was going to win. It was a little shocking.” Larusso said.

This was Larusso’s first year participating in Duxbury Idol, and she was nervous, but as soon as she got on the stage everything became second na-ture.

“When I was waiting back-stage, I kept thinking, ‘what are my words?’ but then it all came to me,” Larusso said.

The mood for the eve-ning was set, with the crowd screaming for their favorite singers with posters and wav-ing light up microphones. The competition was tough, but the judges were very quali-fied to do the job. The judg-es were Superintendent of Schools Susan Skeiber, who has judged Duxbury Idol for two years; John Badger, who has been involved with music for 30 years and participates in various bands throughout the South Shore; Beth MacLeod, a professional singer and voice teacher who attended the pres-tigious Julliard School of Mu-

sic as an opera performance major; and Brian Stratton, a professional performer and record producer who has both performed and produced with several big-name bands.

The contestants were also highly qualified for the per-formance, since they were the nine chosen finalists out of about 30 who auditioned. Their talents included not only singing, but playing an instru-ment while singing, and others composed their own music. Put simply, the decision was going to be tough.

The voting was done in phases. First, the audience vot-ed the nine down to six. Next, the judges picked the final three and then the winner was cho-sen by the people of Duxbury. All contestants memorized and were prepared to sing four songs, three to get through all the elimination phases and one as the winner’s encore.

“The first song should be something upbeat and some-thing the little kids would know,” said Michelle Duch arme. That is why she chose “The Climb” by Hannah Mon-tana for her first song. Duch arme felt that since the second song is for the judges, it should

be something that really show-cases your voice, but doesn’t have to be well-known. The third song should be well-known but should show off the singer’s voice, since that is the last song to be judged. The fourth song should just be fun because you won, Ducharme said.

2009 Duxbury Idol win-ner Larusso has been singing on stage since she was seven but has never had professional training except from her dad, who is a member of a band. She is very excited about her prizes, especially the oppor-tunity to record her own CD because her dream is to be a professional singer.

What I (can do) on my summer vacationThe Clipper is seeking a college-age journalism student

for a summer internship position. This is a great opportunity to learn the ins-and-outs of community journalism, and to get real hands-on experience. The intern will be expected to work in the office three days a week, and he or she will be responsible for three bylined stories a week. The internship is unpaid, but the job has been done for college credit in the past. Interested persons should send a resume and electronic clippings (if available) to Justin Graeber at [email protected]

The members of the Public Safety Feasibility Committee are frustrated, and it’s tough to blame them. These volunteers have spent the last three

years working to develop plans for new police and fire department facilities, something most residents would agree is a clear need. They listened a year ago, when Town Meeting asked them to investigate the possibility of a combined public safety building. They cut costs when residents worried the projects were too expensive. Yet, here they are, two failed ballot initiatives later, back at square one with nothing to show for their efforts.

The problems at the police and fire stations aren’t going away. Just this week, a water leak in the fire station caused thousands of dollars in damage –– to a station that’s probably just going to be renovated anyway. Yet, the taxpayers of Duxbury have the final say here. If they’re not happy with the proposals, it’s time to go back to the drawing board.

Feasibility Committee members still believe the best plan is the $5.2 million renovation for the fire station and a new police station on town-owned land off Mayflower Street. They say there’s not much more that can be done in terms of making the projects cheaper, and that the task at hand is convincing residents that the projects are worthwhile.

Unless the economic climate changes in a hurry, that may be a tall task. Voters at the polls in March were faced with the prospect of spending a lot of money if they approved all the projects, and a new high school and/or middle school project still looms on the horizon.

It seems that the public safety station proponents did a good job convincing Town Meeting voters of the plan’s necessity, but not so much the public at large. Perhaps that’s the strategy going forward, taking the discussion out of the forum of town hall and making a more direct appeal to voters.

A public information session held at one of Duxbury’s schools, for example, may reach a demographic that doesn’t always follow Town Meeting with rapt attention. Also, if one looks at the election results, the fire station project came closer to passing even though public sentiment seems to be that the police station is more necessary. This speaks to the work Duxbury’s firefighters did in “selling” their project to the community. Perhaps a more concerted effort on the part of the police would help close that gap.

This, combined with a transparent effort to squeeze every penny out of the plans, may just get the town the public safety facilities it deserves.

–– J. Graeber

Pondering the next step for

police and fire

As your readers know, the past cou-ple of weeks have

been eventful at Westwinds Bookshop, and we appreciate the opportunity to let people know about our progress in get-ting things back to normal.

We are so grateful that no one was injured in the accident on Friday afternoon, April 17, when an SUV crashed through our front wall, destroying the bulk of our greeting card in-ventory and causing enough damage that the entire front wall of our shop needs to be reconstructed. Both the driver, Nancy Oates, and our faithful bookseller on duty at the time, LuAnn Keenan, were shaken up, but not hurt, by that day’s events.

The shop itself is another matter, although we are work-ing hard to restore as much as we can as quickly as possible. Paul Dahlen and the crew from Yard Masters and our land-lord, Derek Cavanaugh, moved quickly to clean up the damage. New windows are on order and framing for the front wall will start very soon. In the mean-time, the shop is clean and the building is safe for shopping and browsing. In the absence of our trademark blue awnings, our temporary spray painted sign announces that we are indeed open for business with our regular schedule, Monday through Saturday, 10 a.m.-5 p.m.

We have our full supply of

books and toys in stock, and new products are arriving daily. We’re reordering our famous birthday card lines and they are expected shortly, along with new racks and displays. We do have cards for Mother’s Day, graduation, First Communion, Bar Mitzvah and other blessed events, sympathy, weddings and anniversaries, friendship, get well, and new baby in stock right now.

We’re also continuing with our scheduled author events, including an upcoming appear-ance by Claire Cook – whose new book is “The Wildwater Walking Club” – on May 17 at 2 p.m. at the Duxbury Free Library. Stop by the shop for more details and tickets for this free event.

We’re thankful for the good

work of everyone involved in helping us deal with this ac-cident, including the Duxbury Police and Fire Departments, Capeway Towing, the guys at Yard Masters, Ken Savard and his crew, Towne & Coun-try Plumbing, Town Manager Richard MacDonald and the town’s inspectional services department, our fellow busi-nesspeople at Hall’s Corner, especially the good folks at Les Ms./SportWorks and Casey’s Fine Wines & Spirits, who have offered support and assistance – everything from a helping hand on the day of the accident to oven-fresh muffins in the after-math (Thanks, Foodie’s!), and Duxbury’s hometown news-paper, The Clipper, for getting news of the incident posted so quickly on the Web to inform the community, and also to let people know that no one was injured.

We also are indebted to our loyal customers – some of whom were willing to sidestep the debris and shop for books on the day of the accident – who have continued to support us and offer words of encour-agement. We’re working hard to bring back all of the prod-ucts you’ve come to expect at Westwinds, and we appreciate your patience as we rebuild.

Please stop by to say “Hel-lo” and check on our progress. We’re grateful for your contin-ued support, as we need it now more than ever!

A heartfelt thank you to the Duxbury Stu-dent Union mem-

bers for donating the unsold stuffed animals and miscel-laneous sheets, blankets, etc. from the Green Yard Sale to the Duxbury Animal Shelter. In the spirit of recycling, the dogs (and some of our more adven-

turous cats) will be thrilled with their new toys. This generous donation will keep us in good supply for quite some time. We have wonderful cats, kittens and dogs available for adop-tion. As always, we are seeking volunteers. If you have an hour to spare and if dog walking in lovely Duxbury conservation

land or kitten socialization time sounds like fun, please stop by the shelter and fill out a volun-teer application. Thanks again to the DSU!

Last week, Republican lawmakers offered an amendment to the pro-posed House budget that would save

the Commonwealth $690 million to $1 billion over the next five years and at least $160 mil-lion in Fiscal Year 2010. This savings could

be realized by shifting mem-bers of the state sponsored healthcare program known as “MassHealth” from “fee for service” to “managed care” plans. The “fee for service” plans provide coverage for ser-vices utilized on an as needed basis, such as treatment during an emergency room visit for a

particular injury or illness. “Managed care” plans are designed to improve healthcare ac-cess and reduce costs by focusing treatment on primary care, coordination of care and ad-ditional care management. “Managed care” is preventative by nature and helps reduce health-care costs by preventing illness. Not only have studies shown that this shift would save money, they have also shown it would improve the quality of medical care available through MassHealth.

There has been much discussion at the Statehouse over the past few months about reform in an effort to save tax payer dollars

during tough economic times. The House and Senate have passed various versions of pension and transportation reform, but none of these re-forms have reached final enactment and there is little identifiable cost savings in any of this legislation. This amendment had quantifiable cost savings.

Democratic lawmakers have been quick to criticize their Republican colleagues for refus-ing to support tax increases. Some claim Re-publicans have no real solutions or alternatives to deal with the state’s financial problems. Yet, when sensible reform with significant and tan-gible cost savings, as well as with improvement to the quality of medical care was recently pro-posed, House Democrats voted it down on the heels of their 25 percent sales tax increase. Are we really committed to reform?

Representative Webster represents the 6th Plymouth District.

By DaviD a. Mittell, Jr.

Civics came easily enough but I needed two tries to get through high school chemistry. Today, I refrain from ranking scientific theories but do

know the signs when, to paraphrase the Cadet Prayer at West Point, academics, journalists or politicians are content with half-truth when the whole won’t do.

From its first attempt to influence public policy, what is called the “climatology community” has often been disingenuous in the way it has presented the theory of carbon-induced global warming. The behavioral evidence:

The “community” thinks as one and tolerates no dissent. Doubters dismissed as “Holocaust-deniers” -- a despicable analogy.

Exaggeration and mendacious alarmism -- a typical example the public television program narrated by a Dr. Burke, who depicted mature palm trees in Massachusetts in 2030!

The use of weather as synecdoche for climate by people who know better, but as a matter of propaganda are content to enter a heat wave in August or a thaw in January into “evidence.”

“Heads I win, tails you lose!” If August and January offer up frosts and frozen-over saltwater ports, this too is written into the script as climatic instability predicted by the theory.

This is plausible, but it does remind me of how an earlier cohort of well-educated true believers could rationalize anything Stalin did, even when he turned on a dime, as explained by the “class struggle.”

A year ago, I had the privilege as a mere editorialist of reading, along with scientists of several disciplines, the draft of a paper on the causes of global warming written by Massachusetts native Dr. Peter Langdon Ward. Dr. Ward studied earthquakes, plate tectonics and volcanoes for 27 years at the U.S Geological Survey. Viewing climate change over the whole history of the Earth, Dr. Ward noticed that warming patterns have appeared consistently during periods of very high volcanic activity. The immediate effect is cooling; warming follows as sulfur dioxide crowds out (my term) the oxidizing capacity of the OH radical. Small but relatively excessive amounts of sulfur dioxide thus pull the plug on the “tropospheric vacuum cleaner,” causing concentrations of greenhouse gases to build up, leading to rapid warming.

Carbon dioxide increases as well, but primarily as an effect, not a cause of warming. The warming ocean releases carbon dioxide just as a warm bottle of soda pop goes flat. From borings in Greenland’s ice core, Dr. Ward has studied the ice ages of recent geologic times, the warming and cooling trends of the Christian Era, unto the reduction of anthropomorphic sulfur after 1979 in the effort to delimit acid rain. His findings are confirmatory, and he notably believes that the 18 percent reduction in atmospheric sulfur achieved by the acid-rain program had the effect of stopping further warming after 2000. But with hundreds of new coal-fired, sulfur-producing power plants opening around the world, the pause in warming is about to end.

Removing sulfur dioxide is simpler than removing carbon dioxide and the technology for doing so is more advanced. If sulfur, not carbon, is the main culprit, the implication is that climate change can be controlled without also pulling down capitalism and democracy. Distressing to some, but profoundly assuring to serious policy makers.

Dr. Ward’s paper was at first rejected out of hand by several scientific publications. But on Feb. 11 it was introduced at a press conference in Chicago and simultaneously published by the physics journal “Thin Solid Film.”

The late David Brinkley used to say that if you want an honest opinion, “find a man who has paid his mortgage” -- who remembers life’s pressures but no longer has a personal stake in the game. Peter Ward has seen the tempest of life from many perspectives for a very long time. Like Prospero in Shakespeare’s “The Tempest,” his wisdom becalms the spirit. At his retirement home in Wyoming his company -- Teton Tectonics -- is a one-man band.

To incur the wrath of the carbon-is-the-one lobby would seem to be absurdly quixotic. Peter will face such a storm with good humor and perfect integrity. I do not endorse the findings, just the man.

A fleet of 44 boats of the Interclub and International 14-foot dinghy classes set sail in the first annual spring regatta sponsored by the Frostbite So-ciety. The first Duxbury boat in the race was “Count Down,” sailed by Bob Hutchinson and Roger Gookin, which placed ninth.

The DSU was full of energy and excite-ment this weekend

with the DSU Coffee House on Friday night and the DSU Green Yard Sale and Market on Saturday. Thank you to every-one who donated, volunteered and shared their talents. With-out a doubt, Duxbury youth have enormous talent and it was awesome to see their con-tributions at the coffee house and at the yard sale and mar-ket. It was a community effort, raising almost $2,800! To our members, staff, friends, fami-lies and the entire communi-ty, thank you for making our events a priority in between

a busy weekend of activities. A special thank you to Chief DeLuca and the Duxbury Po-lice for entertaining the crowd with a K-9 display.

To our yard sale and mar-ket event chairpeople, Jamie MacNab and Terri Woodward and their families, thank you! Their coordination of kids, adults and donations played a huge part in the success of the yard sale. Jamie sold out all his bat houses and is taking orders for more!

We will continue to fund-raise for the DSU and are happy to have achieved a mini-milestone. The DSU will remain open through the

month of May and we will host special events for our mem-bers and friends in June. It has been a phenomenal year with our members and we want to celebrate the good times and get in the summer spirit!

Thank you to all that have come forward and named the DSU as the recipient of their next fundraiser. The future looks bright. We will reopen in the fall to meet the needs of our members, grades 6 -12. The DSU is considering a new 45 minute after school pro-gram for our Alden students. Please call Executive Direc-tor Sue Lawrence at 781-934-2290 for more information.

Major Grant: The Fol-lowing major grant was award-ed this past fall: “Physical Sci-ence – Enhanced Technology Tools.” How do you enhance the hands-on lab experience for students or demonstrate the ability to use technology for research, problem solving and communication? Incor-porate the students’ world of digital tools! This grant pro-vided the funds to purchase a class laptop, LCD projector and KaleidaGraph graphing and data software. The equip-ment is used for the eighth grade Physical Science class

where 38 out of 60 classes per semester are labs. Stu-dents collect their data, input it, and then create their own charts and graphs to analyze and interpret. The laptop and projector are used to display student histograms in addition to allowing the teacher to dem-onstrate materials and assign-ments to the students. These tools help the teacher provide a more comprehensive experi-ence in this lab-based class.

Event Update: “Enter-taining for Education,” for-merly known as, “Dinners for Duxbury” is being continued

throughout the spring. Host alone or with a friend. Wheth-er it’s dinner, a luncheon, a girl’s night out, or a big shin-dig, the DEF is looking for parents to host an event of their choice and invite friends and neighbors. It’s tax deduct-ible; the DEF will provide the invitations and will thank your guests for their tax-deductible donation. Interested in hosting or can’t host but would like to attend?

This preparation includes completing the Board of Health’s “communicable dis-ease plan” that was begun in response to the avian flu scare of two years ago, and keeping all town departments apprised of the latest developments.

“Each department has been advised of what’s going on and how it can affect them,” Nord said, adding: “We are aware of the situation and are updated frequently. We have plans in place so when the call for help comes in, we will be there.”

Selectmen agreed to re-view the draft and discuss it with Nord at a later date.

As the town’s emergency operations director, Nord said he had a meeting this week with MacDonald, School Su-perintendent Sue Skeiber, and Health Agent Tracy Mayo about swine flu, or the H1N1 virus. He said he has been in constant communication with Mayo since the flu came to the U.S. and he is continually monitoring the situation.

“We are prepared if any-thing happens in Duxbury,” said Nord.

As of May 4, there were 34 confirmed cases of swine flu in Massachusetts and 286 cases nationwide in thirty six states with one death, accord-ing to Department of Public Health’s Web site, www.mass.gov/blog/publichealth. Each new case is expected to fully recover and none were hos-pitalized. The closest case to Duxbury is a 33-year old from Plymouth whose test came back positive.

When reached this week, Mayo said the best defense

against the H1N1 virus is pre-vention. Practicing good health hygiene will help reduce the spread of the disease. Mayo said that frequent hand wash-ing, especially after coughing or sneezing, is important. It is also important to stay home from work or school if you are sick, said Mayo.

Mayo has created a “cough and hand washing etiquette” poster that she is distribut-ing to schools, businesses and restaurants around town this week.

“We’re just trying to pro-vide information to the public on how you can protect your-self,” Mayo said.

Mayo said the state De-partment of health will notify

her if any confirmed cases of swine flu appear in Duxbury. The state is doing the testing for the virus that was previ-ously done by the Centers for Disease Control and Preven-tion in Atlanta, she said, so the results are coming in faster. The state is also having con-ference calls with boards of health in every community as well as doctors and hospitals to keep them up-to-date on the latest developments.

For more information, go to the Department of Public Health’s website www.mass.gov/blog/publichealth or visit the Center for Disease Control and Prevention’s website at www.cdc.gov/swineflu.

Victoria Lorusso kicked it into high gear to win the third annual Duxbury Idol

competition before a packed house at the Performing Arts Center last Saturday night. Tori’s full-on-belting of “Walking on Sunshine” left the other two third-round finalists in the dust, with Tori pulling away at the finish. Take nothing away from Jessie Williams and Ike Fontaine, the other third-rounders, but Tori ramped it up and amped it up through the course

could be summarized with one word: “Wow!”

The evening started with bang-up performances by the final nine

performers winnowed earlier from a much larger group of competitors. Senior Vivie Doughty, Sophomore Kate Cameron and Junior Kerry Turok each gave solid performances, but in the down side of the Idol mystique, they were “sent home” by the audience vote. This left the three above (Ike, Jessie, and Tori), along with Michelle Ducharme, Brian Greenwood and Kerri MacLennan.

All good things come to an end, and for Coach Chris Sweet and his Duxbury lacrosse team their 99-game winning streak against Massachusetts’s high school teams came to a con-clusion on Saturday night in Duxbury when the Dragons dropped a 12-10 decision to #1-ranked St. John’s Prep of Danvers.

“Our hats are off to St. John’s,” said a disappointed Sweet. “They’ve got some real good players and they de-served to win.”

Playing on enemy turf, the Eagles came out like a ball of fire in front of the largest home crowd ever seen at a Duxbury lacrosse game. With fans ringing Jonathan Taylor Field, the visitors jumped out to a 5-0 first-quarter lead just over six minutes into the game and ended the quarter with a 5-1 lead after Duxbury’s Jake Harvey got the Dragons on the board with 2:32 to go.

“The simple fact was that we had too many groundballs we couldn’t hold onto, and groundballs mean posses-sions,” said Sweet.

The game slowed down in the second quarter, as the Duxbury defense dug deeper and kept the Eagles off the board for the first five minutes. Meanwhile, Harvey was get-ting his second of the game, as the Dragons methodically passed the ball around the pe-

rimeter before finding their captain in the slot to narrow the margin to 5-2.

Garrett Campbell would get the lead back up to 6-2 for the Eagles with 6:56 remaining in the half. However, a pair of goals 20 seconds apart by se-nior Hakeem Lecky and soph-omore Kane Haffey would send the Dragons into halftime only down by two goals.

“We really didn’t make any adjustments,” said Sweet. “We settled down and turned the momentum in our favor.”

Despite the halftime in-terruption, the Dragons main-tained momentum entering the third quarter, as Haffey and senior Mike Griffin scored in the first two minutes to tie the

game at 6-6.Play remained even over

the next four minutes, as both squads had trouble holding onto the ball and executing their offense.

Lecky picked up one of those St. John’s miscues, and raced down the middle of the field zeroing in on goalten-der Nick Valenti. As he ap-proached the Eagle defense, he dished off to Haffey, who was all alone at the post to beat Valenti for Duxbury’s first lead of the game.

The Eagles would tie it at 7-7 two minutes later, setting the stage for an historic final 12 minutes.

Campbell would get the lead back for St. John’s in

the first minute of the fourth quarter, as he found himself all alone at the right post and fired his shot off goaltender Mickey Zaverucha’s stick for an 8-7 lead.

John Jennings would in-crease the visitor’s lead to 9-7 at the 9:21 mark when he cut through the crease five yards in front of the Duxbury net and redirected a pass past Za-verucha.

The clock was ticking as the streak was in jeopardy, but Lecky kept hope alive, as he made a great recovery on a loose ball and beat the Eagle defense and Valenti to make it 9-8 with 8:31 left in the game.

St. John’s ends lacrosse streak Beats Duxbury 12-10 to prevent 100th straight win

A SAD DAY: It was a rough day for the Duxbury lacrosse community on Saturday, as the crowd held a moment of silence commemorating the 10th anniversary of the tragic death of DHS grad Jonathon Taylor, and also watched as the Dragon’s 99-game winning streak was broken by St. John’s Prep.

bout of laryngitis. She also added to her “degree of difficulty” by accompanying herself on piano for the second round, singing a roiling version of Sara Bareilles’s “Gravity.”

Michele Ducharme continued her full-court press for a third year. Singing is her passion, and her program notes point out that she has recently added guitar and songwriting to her list of skills, along with theater. She showed beyond a doubt that she has the focus, energy and talent to go far in the arts.

Brian Greenwood won the hearts of many with his songs, and broke through the third wall to take it right to the audience.

The judges picked the final three contestants – Jessie, Ike, and Tori – and had quite the night themselves. Superintendent of Schools Sue Skeiber, singer, voice teacher and opera director Beth MacLeod, musician and Duxbury Dad John Badger and musician/music producer Brian Stratton all joined talent and judgment to pick the final three, and gave priceless tips to the performers all along the way. Beth, somehow, became the leading “Simon,” with John taking an occasional shot as well, but the judges comments were always aimed at boosting the competitors’ skills. Of course, it didn’t hurt that Brian was secretly fanning the audience’s jeers whenever Beth had a critique to make. As Beth put it herself, she’s survived Juilliard; her ego can stand anything!

Finalist Jessie Williams struck a beautiful counterpoint with her performances. She was splendidly costumed, and every ounce the professional as she sang a more theatrical set with beauty, precision and clarity. Her songs were show tune ballads rather than singer-songwriter pop hits, and the contrast was welcome.

Ike Fontaine, accompanied by his brother Luke, set a different contrast, his songs and playing fully in the country world. Ike wrote his second piece, “Lose a Love,” and generally showed his musicianship and confidence throughout the evening. A sophomore at DHS, Ike will continue to be a force to contend with at future Idol competitions.

But in the end, Tori Lorusso carried the night with a stunning command of her powerful voice, on-stage skill, and a crescendo of musical force that all worked together. Her second piece, John Lennon’s wailing roadhouse blues “Oh, Darlin,” bought her up into the “wow” range, but her final song put it even better. Tori was “Walking on Sunshine,” and took us all with her for the ride.

Dragons’ DenSports Editor Mike Halloran • [email protected]

Junior Jeff Blout struck out 14 Red Raiders and hurled a five-hitter to lead the Drag-ons to their fourth straight win in a 4-0 shutout of North Quincy, setting the stage for Wednesday’s Patriot League showdown with undefeated Hingham at Chandler Field in Duxbury at 4.

Since losing a 6-3 deci-sion to Marshfield over school break, Coach Barney Earle’s team has reeled off lopsided wins over four Patriot League opponents, averaging 11 runs per game.

Friday’s game with North Quincy remained scoreless through the top of the fourth inning, but Duxbury got the only run it would need in the bottom of the inning when se-nior Shane DiBona walked and

moved to second on a single by junior Matt Savard. Junior Pat McWilliams walked to the plate and immediately singled home what would prove to be the winning run.

Blout cruised through the top of the fifth with a pair of strike outs, and he got two more insurance runs in the bottom of the inning for a 3-0 lead.

A Sean Cross double and a Phil Sciretta single accounted for the first run, while DiBona’s single brought home Sciretta, who had stolen second.

A Cross RBI single in the sixth inning plated the final Duxbury run.

Blout made a statement in the top of the seventh by strik-ing out the side after giving up a pair of singles.

Earlier in the week, Blout came on in relief of Tyler Ge-nereux to secure Duxbury’s 7-4 win over Rockland.

Genereux went five in-nings and gave up five hits for the win, while Sciretta went 3 for 4 with a triple and an RBI. DiBona (2 RBI) and Savard (RBI) also has two hits each in the win.

So far it has been a rela-tively easy ride for the Duxbury girls’ lacrosse team, as they have cruised to a 10-0 record with barely a bump in the road.

Victories over Hingham

(14-12) and Westborough (18-14) provided some needed com-petition for the Lady Dragons, yet they were still able to come close to their 18.5 goals per game average in both wins.

Now comes the hard stretch for Duxbury, who travels to pe-rennial powerhouse Westwood on Friday and returns home on Saturday at noon to entertain one of Rhode Island’s top teams in Barrington.

Games with Norwell and Hingham will follow shortly, so by the end of next week

we should know if Coach Sue Paull’s team is ready to recap-ture the Division II title they took home in 2007.

They sure looked like a championship squad last week, as they dismantled Silver Lake (23-2), Marshfield (17-3) and North Quincy (17-0) in what has become a series of practice games against the many new start-up programs in the Patriot League.

If nothing else, Paull has been able to work her bench into most games, and come tournament time she’ll have a complete roster of battle-tested personnel.

In the game against the Lakers, Duxbury’s bench saw plenty of action, but as usual the starters dominated with se-nior captain Meg Muncey scor-ing six goals and junior Caitlin Burke chipping in with five.

It was a game in which nine different players got on the board, including junior Ali Vio-landi (3), sophomore Siobhan McCarthy (2), senior Melissa Crimmins (2), sophomore Keri Gould (2), senior Alexa Mat-thews (1), senior Liz Desmond (1), and freshman Grace Nissi (1).

One of the benefits of a blowout is the fact that some

players get an opportunity to show just what they can do un-der game conditions, and senior Alexa Matthews fits that bill.

After scoring a goal and adding an assist in the 17-0 blanking of NQ, Paull called the midfielder “one of the big-gest surprises of the season.”

As for surprises, Paull seems to be getting one every game, with a different player stepping up and taking on the scoring duties while making life difficult for an opposing coach.

“We have so many scorers that an opposing coach has to sit there and figure out who are you going to shut down this time,” said Paull.

Junior Mimi Smith, held to a goal in the 17-3 win over Marshfield, took honors on Fri-day afternoon by erupting for four goals in the NQ win. Mc-Carthy (3), Muncey (2), Burke (2), and Gould (2) also hit for multiples, while Matthews, Vi-olandi, and JV call-ups Sarah Colangelo and Sam Sciliano also got on the board.

Once again Paull was able to unload her bench in the win over Marshfield, as McCarthy (5), Muncey (4), junior Katie Griffin (3), Desmond, Burke, Olivia McCarthy, and Gould contributed to the Duxbury at-

tack.While offense garners the

headlines, Paull is aware that her defense will need to be at its best if the Lady Dragons want to wear the crown.

“Liz Desmond and Cas-sandra Nissi have been excel-lent on defense. But like in any game, goaltending could deter-mine how far we go, and I’m hoping our defense will be able to clear the ball and take someof the pressure off senior goalie

Stephanie Hoomis.”While Westwood and Bar-

rington will test Duxbury’s mettle, Monday’s game with Norwell could prove to be more telling, as the Clippers in all probability will face Duxbury in order to get out of the Divi-sion II South Sectionals.

“They are a good team and will no doubt give us a run for our money,” said Paull.

It would be the closest Duxbury would get the rest of the way, as Steve Siderewicz and Campbell beat Zaverucha within a 49 second span to make it 11-8 with 7:12 to go.

With the crowd waiting for another miraculous Duxbury finish, captain Quinn Cully kept their hopes alive with a spectacular recovery and score that cut the lead to 11-9 with 5:59 showing.

Jennings would take the wind out of the Dragon sails, as he found himself in the slot 34 seconds later to match Cul-ly’s goal and put the lead back up to 12-9.

A Harvey tally ended Dux-bury’s scoring with 3:25 re-

maining, and the Eagles main-tained possession and ran the clock as the celebrating began with 30 seconds left to go.

“It’s hard to come back when you’re down 5-0 in the first seven minutes of a game,” said Sweet. “I was surprised at the start when our inten-sity level just wasn’t up there, but I was also proud of how we battled back. We put them back on their heels and started to get some ground balls. Sure our team is disappointed, but now it’s back to work and try to fix some of the things that didn’t work here today.”

Despite their first loss to a Massachusetts’ team since 2004, Sweet reminded his team after the game that the

only game that really counts will be for the championship, and the Dragons will be ready.

Earlier in the week Dux-bury blasted Silver Lake, 18-0, and North Quincy, 19-3.

Freshman Sam Sweet had a breakout game against the Lakers with six goals and a pair of assists, while Haffey chipped in with four goals and four assists.

In the win over the Red Raiders, Harvey notched four goals, with Haffey and junior Sam Reinhardt scoring three each.

Next up for Duxbury will be a home game with Marsh-field on Monday afternoon at 4 p.m.GoING NoWHere: Duxbury’s Will Shields and Steve ripley make

sure Garrett campbell can’t get into the St. John’s offense.

The Duxbury boys’ tennis team faced the soft part of its schedule last week with wins over Randolph (5-0), Rock-land (5-0), and North Quincy (4-1).

Now comes a run of qual-ity opponents (Pembroke, Hingham twice, and Scituate) that should give Coach John Bunar a better idea of where his team stands come tourna-ment time.

The Dragons started the week by making quick work of Randolph, as all three sin-gles matches went Duxbury’s way with Brayden Mina-

han (6-0/6-1), Peter Muncey (6-1/6-0), and freshman Con-nor O’Keefe (6-2/6-0) com-pleting the sweep.

Doubles play also ended in easy straight set victories, as TJ Scholberg and Connor Dunphy at #1 and Alex Hol-opainen and Stephen Day at #2 romped.

It was pretty much the same in Rockland, as Minahan (6-0/6-0) Muncey (6-0/6-1) and Bucknell-bound senior TJ

Cameron (6-0/6-1) won easily, while the doubles teams domi-nated with Scholberg/Dunphy (6-1/6-2) and Ben Startzell/O’Keefe (6-0/6-1) making quick work of the Bulldogs.

It took three matches be-fore the Dragons lost a game, and it happened on Friday af-ternoon at home where they beat North Quincy, 4-1.

It was the first look for the Dragons at a North Quincy tennis team, and they played

well against a credible team, with Minahan being too much for senior Silus Dubus at #1 singles, 6-1/6-2. The Duxbury sophomore used winners and accuracy to give the German transfer-student little hope of victory.

Muncey continued his flawless play in all aspects of his match and cruised to a 6-0/6-1 win at #2 singles.

The first doubles team of Startzell/Holopainen won an entertaining 6-4/6-3 straight set win over the Red Raider

team of Andy Lam and Dee Zheng, while the #2 tandem of Scholberg / O’Keefe bare-ly broke a sweat in a 6-0/6-0 win.

“We will see exactly where we are at with next week’s matches,” said Bunar. “My hope is that we can compete with Hingham and reverse the early season loss to Scituate.”

Sporting an 8-2 record to begin the week, Duxbury will entertain Hingham on Wednes-day afternoon at 4 p.m.

Lost amid the outstanding seasons being turned in by all of Duxbury’s spring teams is the surprising run by the Lady Dragons’ tennis team under first-year Coach Jutta Ros-sano.

After a 5-0 loss to Scituate in early April, Duxbury has run off seven straight wins to raise its record to 9-1 while qualify-ing for post-season play.

Duxbury dominated Ran-dolph to start the week, as #1 singles player Michaela Dowd blanked Rebeccah MacKinnon, 6-0/6-0, #2 Liza Thomas took care of Laura Gallow, 6-1/6-1, and Erin Nel-son at #3 beat Aynslie Chan-eco, 6-1/6-1.

It wasn’t much harder at first doubles, where Jane Mor-gan and Cory Tucker knocked off Tram Nguyen and Quynh Nguyen, 6-1/6-1, while the #2 doubles team of Julia Al-len and Charlotte Weil made quick work of Sally Vu and Jessica Tran, 6-0/6-1.

The girls took care of Rockland in a similar manner two days later with a 5-0 win over the Bulldogs.

The singles trio of Dowd (6-2/6-0 over Colleen McPar-tlin), Thomas (6-1/6-2 over Megan Pratt), and Casey Re-

inhart (6-3/6-1 over Leah Damon) made it a short after-noon, and they were joined by the doubles tandems of Mor-gan/Tucker and Allen/Weil in sending the Bulldogs home early.

It took a little more effort to knock off the Red Raiders, as losses at #1 and #2 singles put pressure on the remaining matches.

Annie Gluskin took care of Julie Ross at #3 singles with a 6-1/6-2 victory, while Allen and Weis easily beat Lindsey

MacPherson and Julie Doyle at #2 doubles, 6-0/6-1.

Morgan and Tucker won their first set 6-3 at #1 doubles, then held off a charge by Car-men Seto and Stacey Chung to take the second set in a tie-breaker, 6-6 (7-5).

”We were lucky that the rain held off after that long drive up to North Quincy,” said Rossano. “Our singles players played well and fought hard, but Annie came through at #3 by playing her own game. I was proud of all of them.”

After opening the season and being shorthanded in a 4-2 loss to Barnstable, the Lady Dragons have bounced back with three straight wins, in-cluding victories over Nauset (4-2) and Falmouth (3.5-2.5) last week to up their record to 3-1.

Victories by Colleen O’Connor (1-up), Briana Con-nolly (5 & 3), Maria Varonko (3 & 2), and Lauren Ger-raughty (5 & 4) gave Duxbury the win down on Cape Cod last Tuesday.

They returned to the Cape on Thursday for a much short-er trip to Falmouth where they knocked off the Clippers, 3.5-2.5.

Connolly was the star of the day, as the sophomore shot a 3 on the last hole to win 1-up and give Duxbury the win.

Varonko (4 & 3), Kara Fal-cone (4 & 2), and Gerraughty (5 & 4) were also victorious for the Lady Dragons, who make their third straight trip to the Cape on Wednesday afternoon when they visit Barnstable for a rematch.

Griffin is a first-team selection and McCarthy was named to the third team.

Griffin and McCarthy were nominated by DHS Coach Sue Paull to participate in a tryout for the team that was held on April 19 at Harvard Univer-sity. Over 200 sophomores and juniors from both states representing public, private, independent and preparatory schools attended the event. The top 60 sophomores and juniors were selected for the
