New top cop appointed

By SuSanna Sheehan, Clipper Staff [email protected]

Town Manager Richard MacDonald has appointed a retired Wakefield police chief

with 34 years of experience as Duxbury’s interim police chief until a p e r m a n e n t successor to former chief Mark DeLu-ca is named.

On Monday, MacDonald announced to the Board of Selectmen that he has chosen

Stephen Doherty of Water-town.

Doherty isn’t the only vet-eran police official that will be aiding Duxbury in the search for the next chief. MacDon-ald also introduced Stephen Unsworth, a retired Waltham police chief, whose company, BadgeQuest of West Yar-mouth, will lead the police chief search.

Doherty, who began Mon-day, said his first day on the job went well. He met last week with all three Duxbury police

The answer is blowing in the wind – or at least to Town Meeting.

That’s where proponents of wind power in Duxbury hope they’ll be able to pass a bylaw allowing the use of wind tur-bines in town.

Last year, the topic came before town meeting but was passed over after discussion. Members of the Alternative Energy Committee are now considering streamlining the bylaw, dropping a provision that dealt with small-scale

privately-owned turbines and focusing on larger, municipal wind facilities.

The committee held a joint meeting with the Planning Board and the Zoning Board of Appeals Monday evening to gather some initial feedback.

“At Town Meeting we had a bylaw that probably wasn’t fully vetted,” said Alternative Energy Chairman Frank Dug-gan, adding that a last minute attempt to amend the bylaw on Town Meeting floor may have confused voters.

Municipal turbine bylaw is headed back to Town Meeting

Local officials are getting involved in a statewide move-ment to repeal the state’s af-fordable housing law known as 40B.

Planning Board Chair-woman Amy MacNab was in-volved in a similar effort two years ago. She along with other other planning board members from around the state signed a petition to repeal the 40B law, also called the “anti-snob” zoning act because it allows developers to skirt local zon-ing regulations if a portion of units built are designated “af-fordable.”

“How can we plan for our town’s future if the future is our of our town’s control?” MacNab and other board mem-bers wrote in a 2002 letter.

“Certainly planning boards across the Commonwealth think 40B bypasses our local rules and regs,” said MacNab on Monday. “It’s [the petition] the culmination of a lot of ef-forts over the years ... Just total frustration on a local level.”

MacNab actually gave tes-timony before the state legisla-ture on the topic in 2003.

“[We] sought statutory reform not because Duxbury

or any other city or town are snobs and oppose affordable housing,” she said at the time. “But rather, because the com-prehensive permit statute is punitive, regressive and pits affordable housing develop-ment against all other munici-pal needs and concerns ... 40B is an embarrassment to a civi-lized Commonwealth.”

MacNab feels more con-fident about the effort this time around. She said two years ago, the group collected just enough signatures to get a question on the ballot, but many of the signatures were thrown out, leaving the num-ber short of the 75,000 needed. This time, the petitioners are shooting for 100,000, just to be on the safe side.

Signature collectors are trying to reach that goal by Nov. 9. MacNab said she and other Duxbury residents, like Kay Foster of the Wildlands Trust, have been pounding the pavement to spread their mes-sage.

“This time the effort is definitely more coordinated,” MacNab said. “There’s a great group of people leading this ef-fort ... I think we have a good chance at this.”

To learn more or to sign

the petition, call MacNab at 781-934-2305 or Foster at 781-934-6502, or visit re-peal40B.com.

Island Creek Oysters has been providing their delicious seafood fare to events around Duxbury for years. But now residents have two more ways to get involved in oyster farm-ing in a more hands-on sense.

The oyster farming col-laborative provides oysters that have grown too large, or are otherwise unsuitable for commercial sale, in what Har-bormaster Don Beers called a “put and take” program. The oysters are simply placed in areas where they can be easily collected.

“We picked areas were they would be readily available to the recreational harvester,” Beers said. Island Creek has been donating thousands of bushels to our recreational diggers ... it’s really quite a program.”

The oysters are available in selected areas with ample parking, and a minimal envi-ronmental impact, Beers said. Locations are off Mattakeesett Court, Maxwell’s Point, and off the East end of the Pow-der Point Bridge, utilizing the beach parking.

Beers said the put and take program has been going on for five years. But he is most excited about a new program Island Creek started this year, seeding a community bed in Seal Island Flat.

Beers said Island Creek’s Skip Bennett came to him with the idea of seeding an oyster bed that would be available to the community, and worked

with the Harbormaster’s de-partment to scout the perfect location.

“This project is one that Island Creek Oyster farmers have been looking forward to for years,” said Bennett in a statement, as many of the Is-land Creek staff were in Zanzi-bar working on an aquaculture project in that country. “We are thrilled to work with the town’s shellfish department to start our own aquaculture project that will benefit the residents of Duxbury. By this time next year, the oysters will be available for picking.”

Beers said he worked with the Board of Selectmen to get a license for the town to propagate shellfish. He said the company donated about 250,000 oysters, a value of about $100,000 on the open market.

Once grown, the oysters belong to the town.

“It’s our bed,” said Beers. “It’s our shellfish area ... it’s exciting.”

Beers said the economy may be driving people to ex-pand their horizons –– and their palates.

“During these difficult economic times, people are looking for alternatives to ev-erything,” he said “They’re also looking for alternative food sources.”

Beers is impressed by the company’s commitment to the town, evident through both programs.

“We’re enjoying their work on the bay,” he said. “They’re great guys, they watch over each other, they watch over the shore ... They’ve never lost in-sight as to how important their roots are to the community.

Residents need to obtain a recreational shellfish license to harvest oysters through either program.

Harbormaster Don Beers helps to spread seed oysters in what will be a community bed. Island Creek Oysters’ Skip Bennett mans the helm.

Volunteer Outreach: This month, Volunteer Outreach is highlighting a local charity called Mary-Martha Learning Cen-ter.

Because of recent changes in state funding, the Center is now responsible for all operational costs and is completely privately funded. They are in desperate need of the following items: Diapers/wipes, bedding (pillows, sheets, blankets in crib and full size), kitchen supplies (dishes, utensils), bathroom supplies (towels, wash cloths), toi-letries (shampoo, soap, toothbrushes/paste etc), school supplies three-ring binders, pens, folders), office supplies, postage, baby monitors, trash bags, new or almost new clothing/shoes – wom-en’s, children’s (age 4 and under). Please help this worthy cause. Contact Christine Sovik by telephone at 781-934-2082 or e-mail [email protected] to set up a time to drop off the items at her house. Christine will bring the donations to Mary-Martha Learn-ing Center on Nov. 30.

In the 19 year history of the Festi-val of Trees, the Friends of Cranberry Hospice have donated over $1.5 million to the Cranberry Hospice for services to patients and families in fourteen south shore communities including Dux-bury. This year’s tree theme is “Go Green” where we will create handmade ornaments using recycled materials. Materials needed are corks, large plastic bottle caps, old cd’s, burnt out light bulbs (60 or 100 watt), puzzle pieces (they do not have to be complete), empty cereal and cracker boxes. Items may be dropped off at Ali-son Estabrooks’ or Megan Nicosia’s home (see below for contact information) by Nov. 12. Volunteers may join us at 8 p.m. for some mulled cider and wine, cheese and crackers while helping us make ornaments. We also need help decorating the tree. RSVP by Friday Nov. 10 to [email protected]. The tree decorating will take place on Dec. 6.

The bylaw would grant the Zoning Board of Appeals the authority to grant a special permit for a wind facility, last-ing 25 years. Municipal-scale facilities would be 250 feet high or less, and small-scale turbines would be a maximum of 100 feet high. Other aspects of the bylaw would govern fall zones, appearance, noise and removal requirements.

Duggan called the new version of the bylaw “more honed and polished.”

Still, other board members had questions. Some said the language in the bylaw wasn’t clear enough about whether or not a 250-foot tower would be allowed on private property.

“It doesn’t tell you where it is allowed,” said Planning Board Chairwoman Amy Mc-Nab.

Alternative Energy Com-mittee members said the intent was to only allow the larger turbines on town-owned land.

“A wind turbine is only going to make sense under certain circumstances,” said Duggan. “Not everywhere could this be done.”

Committee member Andre Martecchini agreed.

“The intent is that only the town of Duxbury would be able to install a municipal facility. Even if you have 15 acres, you’re not going to be able to build a municipal use [turbine,]” he said.

ZBA Chairman Dennis Murphy pointed out that a zon-ing overlay map could outline specific sites where a munici-pal turbine would be allowed. Judith Barrett said the boards would have to be careful with language, since land owner-ship (i.e. the town) can’t be a factor in zoning –– only use can. A bylaw limiting turbines to town-owned land might not pass muster with the At-torney General, she said. She

also pointed out that most of Duxbury’s town facilities are in residential zones.

The bylaw is currently worded so that the primary use of a municipal turbine would be to produce power for the town, with any excess being sold back to the market, and the primary use of a small tur-bine would be to provide pow-er to the property owner.

However, MacNab was concerned that the act of a private turbine owner sell-ing excess power back to the electrical grid, something per-mitted under state law, could constitute a commercial activ-ity –– which is not allowed in residential zones.

“Once you sell something back it’s a commercial use,” she said. “I think you’re cross-ing a line there.”

MacNab also thought the residents of town would be more open to the idea of a town-owned turbine that one in their neighbor’s backyard, and approved the idea of split-ting the concept into two by-laws.

“Maybe in years to come, when they see the municipal one working and they find it’s not as offensive as they thought it would be, you can wean in the small one,” she said.

Barrett agreed, but added that the committee had a lot of public education work to do.

“We’re in a town where green means one thing: open space,” she said.

At the end of the meeting,

officials felt the joint meeting had been productive. Duggan said he would try to incorpo-rate the ZBA and Planning Board feedback into a revised bylaw. Despite some disagree-ment over the details, there was a consensus that town-owned wind power is a good move for Duxbury.

“This is something we need to do as a town,” said Josh Cutler, a Planning Board member who is the liaison to the Alternative Energy Com-mittee.

that will be premiering the music.

“Last year we had talk-ed about commissioning a piece for Paul,” she said. “We thought it would be ... uplift-ing and positive, we thought it would match his personality.”

Noerenberg had a connec-tion with West Coast-based film composer Rossano Gal-ante, and said his style seemed to fit the type of music she was looking for.

Although a number of South Shore schools collabo-rated on a commissioned work in the past, this is the first time the high school has worked di-rectly with a composer.

“It’s a hunt to find some-one who you trust,” Noeren-berg said.

DHS musicians performed a piece by Galante last year.

“I told him I’d like it to be similar to that piece in length and difficulty level,” she said. Of course, there was one spe-cial request.

“We wanted a trumped solo because Paul was a trum-pet player,” Noerenberg said.

Fortini’s parents, Ken and Kathy, were invited to a re-hearsal a few weeks ago.

“It was very impressive,” said Ken Fortini.

Noerenberg said the stu-dents got the music for the piece in August, and have been rehearsing since then. She said Galante did talk to the Fortinis before completing the work.

“I was really happy with it,” she said. “The students love it, and they’re having a great time.”

Some of the students in the band were freshmen when Paul Fortini was a senior at Duxbury High School. No-erenberg said the tragedy was initially very tough on the stu-dents, but they have rallied around the music.

“It’s a pretty tight group of kids,” she said.

Ken Fortini said he was initially approached by No-erenberg and department head Ric Madru with the idea for the commission shortly after Paul’s death.

“They really wanted to do something to honor Paul,” he said.

Fortini and his wife have also set up a foundation in their son’s memory. The purpose of the fund, he said, is to help the band and drama departments –– Paul was heavily involved in both –– with purchases they may not be able to make with their normal budgets.

The next event for the foundation is Sat. March 6, an a cappella night fundraiser. Various college groups have been invited.

And on Thursday, at the Performing Arts Center will be filled with a musical tribute to a beloved student.

“That’s a really wonderful way to honor Paul,” said his father.

Donations in Paul’s mem-ory can be made to the Paul Fortini Fund for Duxbury Mu-sic and Drama, c/o Rockland Trust, P.O. Box 1627, Dux-bury, MA 02331.

Winter farmers markets abound

By miChelle Conway, Clipper ColumniSt [email protected]

For a person who loves farmers markets, the end of Oc-tober is a time to say goodbye to the farmers and their piles of fresh produce; the season dwindles to an end

as we wish one another well and prepare for a long, cold winter bereft of the friendships formed and the joy of cooking and eat-ing local fruits and veggies. Sigh.

But this year, there is great news! The Plymouth Farmers Market, in a fruitful collaboration with Plimouth Plantation, will be holding a monthly Winter Farm-er’s Market at the Plantation. Barbara Anglin, coordinator for the successful summer Plymouth Farmers Market, is bringing her

eclectic mix of music, food and fun to the dreary months. She is looking forward to welcoming the farmers and food producers to the new venue and to “keeping connected with the farmers and growers throughout the year.”

Although a winter farmers market sounds like an oxymoron, there is a surprising amount of fresh, local food to be enjoyed. Farmers load their trucks with storage crops: bunches of carrots, broccoli heads, varieties of potatoes, onions, squashes of great and small size and colorful root vegetables. Hardy leafy greens thrive into the cooler months and crops such as brussel sprouts and cranberries are best when harvested in the late fall, early winter.

Many farmers have been preparing all summer and fall for “winter growing,” a newer trend in farming which brings the joy of fresh produce to the winter table. Using a set up of green-houses, carefully tended soil and heaters, local farmers have al-ready planted the seeds for winter salad greens and are extend-ing their summer growing schedules into the cooler months. The mouth salivates at the dream of a local tomato in November or a bunch of herbs that have travelled less than 30 miles to your table in March – the seeds have been planted, the dream begun, but we will have to wait until the winter to discover what will arrive successfully at the market.

The Winter Farmer’s Market will offer locally created fresh foods. Barbara is still building her list of vendors, but anticipates the return of Martha’s Stone Soup, Side Dish, the Artisan Kitch-en and purveyors of honey, freshly baked breads, and jams. She is still trawling for a fish vendor and is anticipating the Lawton Family Farms to return with their fresh Fromage Blanc, Asiago and grass fed veal and beef.

Plimoth Plantation will be screening food-themed films in conjunction with the monthly farmers market. Customers can shop the farmers market, store their purchases while enjoying the film and, perhaps a glass of wine or movie snack. What a wonderful way to spend a snowy Thursday afternoon.

The successful “Local Foods Project” will continue into the winter. Barbara offers this innovative service to accommodate customers who can’t make it to the market before closing bell. By visiting the Web site (www.plymouthfarmersmarket.org) customers can place an order and have it waiting after the mar-ket has closed.

The next opportunity to enjoy the Farmer’s Market will be on Nov. 22 from 11 p.m –3 p.m. at the Harvest Market on the Plymouth waterfront as part of the annual Thanksgiving Cele-bration. The market moves indoors on Dec. 17 and runs through May. The hours are tentatively scheduled for 3 p.m.–6:30 p.m. on the third Thursday of each month. For more information and to confirm the hours, visit www.plymouthfarmersmarket.org.

Seasonal flu clinicThe Board of Health will conduct a seasonal flu clinic at

the Duxbury Senior Center for residents on Thursday, Nov. 5, at 5 p.m. First come first served. Additional flu clinics will be scheduled when the vaccine becomes available.

lieutenants and found them “all very professional and very co-operative.”

“I hope to bring stable and unbiased management to the department for the short term,” said Doherty.

His employment is for a pe-riod not to exceed six months, he said. Doherty will not be a candidate for Duxbury’s police chief position, said MacDon-ald.

Doherty was chief of po-lice in Wakefield from 1991 until his retirement in 2003. He worked on the Watertown police department for 16 years and also in New Bedford for six years. Since his retirement as police chief, he has worked in law enforcement consulting and public safety management for private companies and pub-lic industries.

As far as the search for a more permanent person to replace DeLuca goes, Un-sworth said it will take four to six months to find a new chief, adding that he placed the first ad for a chief this week in the Massachusetts Chiefs of Police newsletter.

“Four months is optimistic, six months is the longest,” said Unsworth.

Unsworth said he will work closely with the screening com-mittee MacDonald is planning to appoint, and will also meet with police officers and com-munity officials to determine the strengths and weaknesses of the department. He plans to an-alyze the department’s policies, procedures and crime statistics and he said he will give police department employees a confi-dential questionnaire they can answer and submit unsigned and sealed. Unsworth said the screening committee may even assemble a citizen’s question-

naire for the public’s input.By looking at the needs of

Duxbury’s police department and the information from its citizens, Unsworth plans to develop a profile of how best to manage the department and determine what type of chief would be a good match for the town.

Unsworth said he will ad-vertise the position nationally and regionally and expects that 60 to 100 people will apply for the job. Hamilton, where Unsworth conducted a recent search, received 90 applicants.

He and the screening com-mittee will then reduce the pool to 20 viable candidates who will be asked to respond to a comprehensive written ques-tionnaire.

“I anticipate the screening committee to have a great voice in reducing the number of can-didates,” Unsworth said.

When they have chosen between four to six applicants, those people will participate in assessment centers, which include intensive role-playing to anticipate the challenges a Duxbury chief might encounter. The assessment centers are con-ducted by retired police chiefs. A report will be generated from

this activity and sent to Mac-Donald.

The final candidate will be subject to psychological and physical evaluations as well as a background investigation, said Unsworth.

MacDonald said he was “very pleased” at the number of interested citizens who want to be on the police chief search committee and added that choosing from among them will be difficult. He plans to discuss his choices with Unsworth be-fore announcing them, but add-ed that he will name at the Nov. 16 meeting. He did, however, reveal that Duxbury School Su-perintendent Sue Skeiber will be on this committee.

Selectmen Chairwoman Betsy Sullivan asked Unsworth to come back to the board to up-date them on the search process and she also thanked Lieuten-ant Lewis Chubb for filling in as interim chief after DeLuca’s departure.

UPDate

By SuSanna Sheehan, Clipper Staff

Former police chief Mark DeLuca wants to re-open ne-gotiations for a contract set-tlement with Duxbury select-men, Town Manager Richard MacDonald said Monday.

According to MacDon-ald, on Monday, DeLuca’s at-torney informally asked Dux-bury’s town counsel Robert Troy to ask selectmen if they would consider re-extending an offer to DeLuca.

On Oct. 23, the Board of Selectmen voted to rescind a settlement offer after DeLuca apparently refused to sign it. The offer was generated on Oct. 5, after selectmen met behind closed doors and vot-ed unanimously in favor of a tentative settlement. Howev-er, over the course of the next two weeks, DeLuca never signed the agreement. No ex-planation has been given.

DeLuca’s contract will

continue until it expires on Nov. 20, according to Mac-Donald. DeLuca is currently on administrative leave, with pay, and must refrain from acting in any capacity relat-ing to the Duxbury Police Department.

Because there was no for-mal request, selectmen took no action on Monday.

“It seemed casual,” said Selectmen Chairman Betsy Sullivan of McAuliffe’s in-quiry with Troy.

Selectman Jon Witten said: “I would want a specific proposal,” adding that, “if a formal request is to be made, we should entertain it.”

Sullivan said she saw no reason to do this, but if the board did decide to open negotiations, she said she wanted to be involved. Sul-livan will be away and the board is not meeting on Nov. 9 because of quorum issues, so she asked that any discus-sions wait until Nov. 16.

DSU newsHalloween party: The DSU partnered with the Duxbury

Rural & Historical Society and the GATRA bus to create an evening of myth busting, fascination and fun at the DSU Cem-etery Walk and Halloween Party. Participants started at the cem-etery at dusk where Executive Director of the DRHS, Patrick Browne shared interesting stories of Duxbury residents buried at the cemetery over 200 years ago. After the cemetery walk, par-ticipants boarded the Gatra bus to the DSU decorated for Hal-loween fun. Stella the Fortune Teller returned a second year and everyone was freaked out with her ability to read their fortunes with such accuracy. Claire Kennedy and Megan Tower won the best mummy wrap, Jamie Meyers and Liam Irving excelled at the donut pull and Victoria Ruiz won the door prize. Thank you to the DSU members, volunteers and staff for coordinating such a fun event!

Alden School: Think of a verb and our Alden friends prob-ably did it this past week at our special half day programs. They walked, jumped, hopped and raced in games outside. They decorated caramel apples, made Halloween cards for the Senior Center, danced to every top hit song, shouted to Sweet Caroline, played DSU bingo and limbo, built Jenga towers, tried every game in the game room and met 30 new friends. Check out these photos for more Alden fun.

The Percy Walker Pool is currently undergoing a mul-timillion dollar rehabilitation project. The pool was emptied of water in July of 2009 and shortly thereafter a firm was chosen for the project. Paul J. Rogan Company from Brain-tree was chosen as the General Contractor. The winning con-struction bid was just under 1.9 million dollars.

Michael J. Hurley was hired as the owner’s project manager. Mr. Hurley has 30 years experience in the con-struction field and has worked on many municipal construc-tion projects.

Demolition began the sec-ond week of September and as of today’s date, Oct. 30, it is 95

percent complete.Some small items have

already begun, new electri-cal service to the building has been installed, and work on upgrading the current utilities of the building has nearly been completed. Taking down of interior walls and/or demoli-tion of various mechanical systems has been completed.

On a weekly basis con-struction meetings are held on Thursday afternoons to discuss the project. Any concerns and issues are handled at that time. As in any renovation project, various items have arisen from time to time which were not included in the original reha-bilitation plans and specs that need to be addressed.

A groundbreaking ceremo-ny was held on Thursday, Oct. 15 with representatives from the architectural firm, the Proj-ect Manager, Town Manager, the Recreation Director and the Chairman of the Percy Walker Pool Long Range Planning Committee in attendance.

At this point, the renova-tion project seems to be mov-ing along on the time line of six-nine months for comple-tion. More detailed informa-tion on a potential reopening will be shared as it becomes available.

If residents have further questions, call the Duxbury Recreation Department at 781-934-7034.

NO SKATING ON WED. NOV. 11

By SuSanna Sheehan, Clipper Staff [email protected]

Even though Duxbury is facing deep cuts in revenues, ever-shrinking state aid and an operating budget that is pro-jected to be smaller than the current year’s budget, the town is doing pretty well compared to others in Massachusetts, ac-cording to Finance Director John Madden.

While other towns like Hingham, Scituate and Abing-ton are facing revenue short-ages and layoffs, Duxbury is “doing okay,” he told the Board of Selectmen Monday night.

“We believe we can weath-er the storm while maintaining our reserves,” he said.

He attributes Duxbury’s good positioning to “careful and conservative forecasting of revenue.”

“We have gotten through where other communities have faltered,” said Madden. “We

don’t pretend to have revenues to spend.”

In 2010, Duxbury’s state aid was slashed by $500,000 from what was promised to the town in 2009, said Madden. Recently, the state cut another $33,300 in assistance. Madden expects another ten percent in state aid reductions before the fiscal year closes at the end of June.

For the next fiscal year, FY2011, Madden said he is projecting even lower rev-enues. He is expecting motor vehicle excise taxes to come in five percent lower and con-struction related fees to be reduced by ten percent. He is also forecasting Chapter 70 education aid and community funding from the lottery to be ten percent lower than last year.

Madden said Duxbury is facing a town operating bud-get nearly one percent lower than the current year. This does

not include the school budget. However, he is optimistic that the town can provide services at this reduced level and he said that he currently sees no layoffs and no furloughs.

“Everybody has gotten the message we’ve been telling them over the past years, that times are really difficult,” said Madden.

“We still have a long way to go,” he added, “to fund ser-vices while still preserving our reserves.”

Selectman Chris Donato wondered if Madden could put budget figures on-line on a quarterly basis to lend trans-parency to the town’s finances. While Madden said this was possible in the future, he said he could see some downsides to doing this.

Town Manager Richard MacDonald must present a balanced budget by mid-De-cember.

IN OTHER BUSINESS, SELECTMEN...

• Voted to allow the demolition of the town-owned abandoned fire house on Franklin Street because it is in such poor condition with rot and mold that it is unsafe. The vote is pending the approval of the Duxbury Historical Commission. The fire house, along with the adjacent Grange property, were slated to be turned into affordable housing. The Grange is still being considered for this purpose.

• Voted to approve spending $2,000 from the Richmond Wight trust fund for the World War I memorial. Organizer Joe Shea requested the funds to help finish the project. The money will supplement the $75,000 in Community Preservation Act funds and private donations. Shea said that 4,000 bricks were laid in two days by Emmett and Padraic Sheehan of Eagles Nest Tree and Landscape of Duxbury, which donated all the labor. According to Shea, the granite foundation for the memorial will be in place within days and then the monument will be erected in the spring. A dedication ceremony will take place on Armed Forces day.

• Voted to approve a conservation restriction for the town’s purchase of 94 acres of Camp Wing to be used as conservation land. Town meeting purchased the land in 2008.

• Approved two statements of interest to be submitted to the School Building Authority for the Duxbury middle school and high school. These statements outline the deficiencies in the buildings in order to place them on the list for future state funding assistance. Both buildings are being considered for major renovations or complete replacement as they are reaching the end of their planned lives and are facing severe overcrowding when larger classes now in elementary school reach this level.

• Granted an event permit for the fifth annual Holly Days on Nov. 29 from 12-4 p.m. The event will feature trolley rides to Duxbury’s shopping areas, hay rides in the school area and pony rides in Hall’s Corner. Santa will arrive on a fire truck to light the Christmas tree on the town green.

• Voted to allow Duxbury to enter into an agreement with Marshfield and Kingston to buy a portion of a used ambulance, which will be shared by the three towns and used when one of their primary ambulances is in the repair shop.

• Invited residents and town officials and committees to submit warrant articles for the 2011 Annual Town Meeting. Articles must be submitted in their final form by Dec. 8. Town Counsel Robert Troy will be avail-able to help craft articles on Nov. 16. Call Barbara Ripley in the town manager’s office at 781-934-1100 ext. 141 to set up an appointment to see Troy.

Berrybrook School will hold its first ever Quest on Sat-urday, Nov. 7 from 9-11 a.m. (rain date Sunday, Nov. 8). Quests start at a marked begin-ning point and include several clues hidden along the way. The Berrybrook Quest will bring families together outdoors where they will enjoy the scen-ery and look for nature themed clues. The Quest will start in the Berrybrook parking lot and will go along a wide, easily walked path behind the Ber-rybrook School – all the while displaying clues as to where

the quest box is hidden. The tour is self guided and can be walked at any pace. Afterward, refreshments will be served at the Berrybrook playground. A donation of $10 per family will benefit the Helen Wheeler Scholarship Fund. This fund provides financial assistance to those in need and allows many children the chance to experi-ence all the wonders of Ber-rybrook. No pre-registration is required. Berrybrook School is located at 267 Winter Street in Duxbury.

Bells around the world were echoing the same message. If we all listen to Mother Nature’s distress call, we can easily decided to help her and create the future we want. We all have to be part of the solution as we were all part of the prob-lem. Of course, except for our innocent children, who will suffer because of our mistakes.

Other churches in Dux-

bury also participated in 350 activities.

This day was celebrated around the globe to show our intent on helping Mother Earth, our only home, to get back to 350 parts per million of carbon dioxide. The signs being held up in the picture above show all the things we can do every day in our lives that are very easy to do and will make the difference. Sustainable Duxbury Co-Chairman Jim Savicki made a list of 10 things that can easily be done by everyone to help reverse our global carbon emissions footprint right here at home. To find a copy of this list go to sus-tainableduxbury.org.

At this point, scien-tists say we have a 50/50 chance of making a differ-ence. When you look at a school team and it’s efforts during a tie, then like them we have no choice but to try. Our children will know if we have played to win or not. They will live with the results we create.

A recent poll states that our environmental issues are at the bottom of citizens ‘to do’ list for our country. Hopefully they are wrong. Other countries are so far

ahead of us solving the problems, why can’t we be more like them? If we forget about all the problems just because we do not see them in our daily lives and are tru-ly not interested, then we’ll definitely not win. Look at what we’ve already lost. Do we want to continue acting the same way?

Dear readers /Duxbury taxpayers / parents: I am posting this letter as an ad in the Dux-bury Clipper as an involved and caring par-ent, and as a citizen of Duxbury. This is being presented in advertisement format as there has been no suitable public forum to present the issues to the community. The purpose of this communication is to openly list fact and ob-servation, in the hopes of adequately framing a highly complex and divisive discussion. I have a few goals:

1. To express the hope that the dialogue con-tinues regarding the Start Time Change, as long as it can be kept respectful and open.

2. To highlight the issues with the change that may not be known to the community.

3. To highlight other issues with the leader-ship of the Duxbury School District.

4. And ultimately, to impact this situation in a positive manner.

I believe that what we are talking about is extremely important. It is important because it is about the education and well-being of our children; it is important because we are pay-ing a significant amount of money for a high-quality school system; it is important because the quality of our school district will have a direct impact on your real estate value and on the economy of our town in general. The majority of the funds expended in our annual budget are spent in the school system. I believe that how we discuss this issue is important. It must be done in an open and respectful manner. If you find yourself in a discussion, it would be great if you could hear the other side’s perspective. If you have older kids and favor the start time change, please listen to the plight of younger kids’ families. You were in their position not too long ago. And the same goes for the families of younger kids- if there are positive effects of the start time change- and there are some- your chil-dren will be the beneficiaries in the future. The comments contained here are not in-tended to be a personal attack on any School Committee Member or any Education Profes-sional. Nowhere in this letter will you find a statement about the personality or character of any members. However, it is important to hold elected officials and appointed profes-sionals accountable for their actions. This accountability is inherent in the responsibility associated with their position, and should be self-regulated, meaning that the official should understand the role and its requirements and hold themselves accountable. They should meet the requirements of the job. When they do not, it is the taxpayers’ responsibility to speak out and seek accountability. While the time change has worked for a number of DMS and DHS families & stu-dents, many of the gains have been marginal-ized by poor implementation. Sports families must still get up extremely early to practice before school. After-school games with other

schools mean that our students leave school early, or force other schools to start their events later. The after-school open time for student-teacher interaction has been shaved off by many students rushing to their next event. And the bus and traffic situation is still not completely under control. And it is not, as stated by a School Committee member, en-tirely the bus company’s fault. The plight of Alden families is significant. I have received over 70 e-mails or survey re-sponses from people experiencing significant issues with the schedule change. Many are related to work-life balance issues and the economic impact on their day. The bus sched-ule has been disruptive, and many parents are now driving their children to school to avoid rushing them onto the bus early, only to have them wait with ~240 other kids in the Perform-ing Arts Center prior to school. However, the most significant issues focus on sleep, fatigue, school performance, and the mental state of the children as the week progresses. At a recent start time meeting, The Super-intendent and every School Principal stated that the start time, as implemented, has been a resounding success. They have not heard of any issues that would lead them to say other-wise.

The change has been anything but a re-sounding success. Could it be that the issues are not being communicated to the Administration? If this is the case, then please take the step to com-municate the issues to your school’s princi-pal. But whether the time change works for you or doesn’t, there exists a bigger concern. It didn’t have to be this way. There were nu-merous options presented that would have achieved the same or better gains for DMS and DHS children, without causing such is-sues for the Alden children and the communi-ty at large. This decision was rushed through with little public comment, despite what you have been told. The facts (listed later) speak for themselves. And, if it was so important to rush this issue through to implementation, then why wasn’t it important enough to plan adequately? To that end, I have attempted to assemble a picture of the past year that may be useful to the majority of the town who has not at-tended a School Committee meeting, read the notes, or watched the meetings on TV. It is imperative that if you care about the quality of education, care about how ~60% of your tax dollars are spent, or care about the impact the quality of the school system has on your real estate value, that you: 1) learn the facts for yourself, 2) get involved, 3) get involved in a balanced manner that respects the viewpoints of other Duxbury citizens, 4) hold our elected officials accountable for their actions. It may be that I am off base and inaccurate in my description (of many things, time will tell!), but the facts remain the same. 1. The Start Time Change: Decision Pro-cess a. School Committee Minutes (found at

www.duxbury.k12.ma.us/schcomm.html) i. Summary: The School Committee consists of 5 elected officials. The Superintendent re-ports to the School Committee. The School Committee was responsible for the ultimate approval of the Superintendent’s recommen-dation to change the start times. ii. December 10th, 2008 Minutes: “Mrs. Skeiber presented an update on the Start Time Committee. She noted that the joint school council has considered four possible options that would allow the middle and high schools to start at 8:15 a.m. They have also discussed the possible impact it would have on athlet-ics, after-school programs, busing routes and costs, as well as students on all levels.

Mrs. Skeiber noted that the next steps will be to educate the community on the sleep needs of adolescents, including articles in the school newsletters and local papers, meeting with the school PTA/PTO Presidents, Dux-bury Teachers' Association, school councils and faculties at each building. Mrs. Skeiber also recommended that an informational night be held in January.

Mrs. Skeiber informed the Committee that the Start Time Committee plans to present to the School Committee for a vote in February, with implementation for September 2009.”

Note: All previous mentions of the start time change were for the 2010/11 school year. There had been no previous mention of a start time change occurring in 2009. This process allowed for 1 School Committee session in open meeting to discuss the start time change prior to the meeting in which the vote oc-curred. i. January 7th, 2009 Minutes: Mrs. Skeiber informed the Committee that we are moving ahead with the start time.

“She met with the Co-Chair Council today to discuss where we are in the process regard-ing the history and options. Mrs. Skeiber also noted there would be a Joint Council meeting tomorrow night to discuss the start time and a Community Info Night at the PAC on January 20th is planned.”

ii. February 4th, 2009 Minutes: Vote on start time: a. FOR: Wong, Ward, Cipoletti b. AGAINST: Connolly, Heinstadt c. At this meeting, public comment was in-vited. However, it is plainly clear that the de-cision had already been made by the majority (three) who voted for the time change. iii. I have requested the DVDs to the School Committee meetings and plan to post them on You Tube. I will publish the link via the Clip-per when ready. b. Special Joint Co-Council Meetingsi. Summary: The Superintendent established a Joint School Co-Council that consists of representatives of each of the four schools: Chandler, Alden, DMS, and DHS.ii. This Council met in the following months

ADVERTISEMENT ADVERTISEMENT



(exact dates were not provided): 2008: Feb, Mar, May, Sep, Oct, Dec 2009: Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr, May, Juniii. According to Assistant Superintendent Ed Walsh, this is where the real work occurred regarding the start time change.iv. I requested all information pertaining to the Special Joint Co-Councils, per the Freedom of Information Act. The response consisted of a portion of the names of those present at the meetings, and the following responses (exact quotations): 1. “There is no charter” 2. “Minutes do not exist” 3. “Attendance records are not main-tained”v. One opinion could be that these meetings constituted a required adherence to “Open Meeting Laws”. If so, then the decision to proceed with the school start time change was reached in violation of the Open Meet-ing Law.vi. Another opinion could be that the Joint School Co-Council is not subject to Open Meeting Law. Then, these meetings must be minuted and the discussion and actions re-corded.vii. It is very clear, however, that neither oc-curred.

2. Openness and Communication a. Various parts of the School District have been cited by the District Attorney for violat-ing Open Meeting Laws multiple times over the past 2 years. b. Superintendent Skeiber has been asked to improve her communication skills in both of her performance evaluations given to her by the School Committee. c. The Administration has demonstrated a clear pattern of working in private on public issues. Either: i. They are unaware of the Open Meet-ing Laws, despite numerous notices that they are in violation. ii. They are aware of the Open Meet-ing Laws, and choose to ignore them. iii. Neither of these answers is accept-able. Is there a third option? d. Regardless of the letter of the law, it is clear that in spirit, the School Committee and Superintendent have developed a pat-tern of discussing and implementing policy which significantly impacts the community in complete secrecy.

3. Sleep Studies a. The School Committee contacted numerous “sleep study experts”. b. All “experts” contacted were vocal advocates for start time changes. c. No sleep study experts were in-volved who presented a dissenting point of view. d. The “Sleep Surveys” conducted on our children gave some parents one day to evaluate and approve their child’s participa-tion. It was poorly planned and implement-ed. e. No studies have been conducted in

the scientific community on Alden-age chil-dren, only on “adolescents” (DMS and DHS age students). This fact was known to the Su-perintendent and the School Committee prior to its vote. f. In other words, the decision to proceed with the earlier start time for Al-den students was made with the full knowl-edge that no information regarding the im-pact on those children existed.

4. Informal, non-scientific survey of Duxbury Parents a. Summary- I created a highly unscien-tific survey to gather as much information about the start time change, the process that was followed, and the quality of education in Duxbury as possible. I sent it to everyone I know, and received over 100 responses from parents representing all 4 Duxbury Schools. b. Conclusions: i. The results of the survey are what you would expect. The town is split down the following lines: • If you have a child at Alden, regard-less of whether you have a child at Chandler, DMS, or DHS, you are mostly against the change and the process that was followed. • If you have a child only at DMS or DHS, you are split almost evenly, but the ma-jority favors the start time change, and favors the process that was followed. ii. All related questions were answered in consistent fashion. In other words, if you were “For” the change, you were for keeping the times “as-is”, you supported the decision-making process, and were happy with the administration’s handling of it. If you were “Against” the change, you were unhappy down the line. iii. Regarding the Quality of Education that our children receive in school, there were some very interesting answers. Most of the respondents- 65%- answered “Yes” to the question- “Are you satisfied with the quality of education your child receives?” However, at the same time, the following factors were rated as “Average. Competitive, but not dis-tinguished.” 1. Quality of Administration 2. Quality of Curriculum 3. Size of Classes 4. Scientific content including Math 5. Global Perspective 6. Educational Content in General

Could it be that we, as a community, are mostly satisfied with education quality that is mostly “average”?

Point #1: The decision to change the start time was made in a rushed fashion and was implemented poorly. While the School Committee was certainly acting, as they have said numerous times, within their rights to make this decision without weighing the im-pact on the community, they misunderstand their mission. It has been said by some mem-bers that the decision was made intentionally without community input, as it needed to be

made on scientific merits only. However, a decision of this magnitude has many more far-reaching implications than the time change. And, the scientific merit that was cited was of questionable merit and one-sided. The deci-sion made willingly ignored the lack of data regarding the group that was to be the most negatively affected (Alden).

Point #2: This Administration shows little accountability for its actions, is not in tune with the basic requirements of their posi-tions, and is not open to feedback that is inconsistent with its viewpoint. This makes some members of the group unsuitable for leadership positions. I am not attacking them personally. As I said when I first spoke at the School Committee, I thank them for their time, and appreciate their contributions. They seem like nice people. However, it is time to find better leadership.

Point #3: This is not solely about the start time change. We are facing much larger is-sues- significant budget constraints, critical teacher retention issues, and most important-ly, declining quality of education. We need to focus on a balanced scorecard approach to understanding what “Good Looks Like”, and how far we are from it now. We need a focused and cohesive approach to improving the quality of education in Duxbury. We need to find better ways to incentivize and reward our most precious commodity in our school system- our teachers. They are ultimately the keepers of the quality of education in our schools.

I would like to clarify a few things before my words are inevitably used against me.. I am very much a supporter of the phenomenal teachers we have met in our school system. I hope that by finding better leadership, we can help improve the environment within which they deliver education, improve their job sat-isfaction, and better compensate those that deliver more effective teaching.

If any of this resonates with you, please come to the School Start Time Forum on November 9th at 7PM in the DHS Stu-dent Lounge, and please bring your issues, and spend as much time listening as talking. Get involved, discover the facts for yourself, and please let’s raise the bar in Duxbury and demand better results from our leadership. Give our Administration the facts, give them a chance to address the issues in front of us, and hold them accountable for their actions.

Thank youScott Schorer ([email protected])

On behalf of the Friends of Tarkiln, I would like to thank

everyone who made our first annual pumpkin sale fundraiser a wonderful success. We had a great turnout with residents coming from all over town to find their perfect Halloween pumpkins.

Many thanks to Nessralla’s Farm in Halifax for supplying the great pumpkins, gourds and cornstalks; to Phil Thorn of Paul Burrage, Inc. for his help with the event insurance; to Jessica Williams of Williams Design Studio for designing our logo, which looks fantastic on the new Friends of Tarkiln long-sleeved tees; to Emmett Sheehan of Eagles Nest Land-scape and to Rick Cowen for donating the cords of wood.

Special thanks also go out to the tireless volunteers who make up the Friends of Tarkiln. They gave so much of them-selves to make this sale happen: from providing the pumpkins, manning a table all day, creat-ing beautiful flower arrange-

ments and baking for the bake sale, all your hard work was re-ally appreciated.

Library should be open Sunday

I miss visiting our library on Sunday afternoons! As a re-sult of the tough economic times, it was decided to close the library for additional Sundays. The Duxbury Public

Library is a wonderful town asset that is frequented regularly by people of all ages. I saw many familiar faces on Sunday after-noons at the library. We depended on its availability. It was both adults and students that relied on the Sunday hours (all four of them) to use our library. I am requesting that our town leaders re-consider this decision. The loss of the Sunday library hours (1-5 p.m.) has caused a significant inconvenience.

The Duxbury Inter-faith Council is plan-ning their Annual

Thanksgiving Basket Project and will sponsor a food drive at Foodies on Saturday, Nov. 21.

In light of the current eco-nomic situation, this year the goal of the council is to deliver 150 food baskets to neighbors and friends in our local com-munity and, in order to accom-plish this goal, we need your help now! Like all Interfaith Council programs, the success of this year’s Thanksgiving Basket Project relies solely on contributions from our gener-ous Duxbury community.

You are invited to help your neighbors in need by bringing food donations to Foodie’s be-tween 8 a.m. and 1 p.m. Canned vegetables, brownie mixes, stuffing mixes etc. are very much appreciated. Members of the Council will be available to accept any financial donations

as well.The Council’s Outreach

Project assists those in need with not only baskets at the holidays but also with assis-tance for whatever is required to meet the basic necessities of life. Your cash donation in any amount, large or small, is needed as well. We must raise $50,000 to support our pro-grams this year and 100 percent

of each donation is given back to the community. So, in the spirit of this season of “thanks” and “giving,” please send do-nations to the Duxbury Inter-faith Council at PO Box 1161, 02331 or visit www.duxinter-faith.com, 781-934-8388.

Was our town manager quali-fied and is he

qualified for his position based on the criteria stated on the Massachusetts Municipal Management Association Web site? Here’s the answer. Quali-fications and entrance require-ments: A masters in public administration or its equiva-lent. Ten years experience in municipal experience with at least five years spent as a man-ager/administrator or similar position. At least five years of administrative and supervisory experience; experience in mu-nicipal collective bargaining is desirable; demonstrated abil-ity to communicate orally and in writing. I’d like to know.

Secondly, What is the role of the town manager in regards to personnel? My understand-

ing is that our town manager has appointed a personnel di-rector for $90,000 and has la-bor counsel on retainer at an unknown expense to the town. By the way, it is also my un-derstanding that the personnel director started at a salary of $60,000 and was given a retro-active raise to $90,000 shortly thereafter. Not bad, if I’m cor-rect. The personnel director has been negotiating union contracts, with the labor coun-sel instead of the town man-ager for some time. According to the Massachusetts Munici-pal Management Association Web site, the town manager is to assume responsibility for negotiating collective bargain-ing agreements for labor units under his jurisdiction. Does this mean the town manager is to hire someone to do this?

We are a small town, do we re-ally need to spend $90,000 per year for a task that is supposed to be performed by the town manager? I need to know, this is very costly.

Lastly, why are we spend-ing $15,000 to find a new po-lice chief? Maybe we have a qualified candidate among us. How about an internal search first, similar to the private sec-tor. My proposal is to give the $15,000 to the Harbormasters budget. Then we could enjoy the beach until the real closing time and avoid the Porta Pot-ties removal threats.

[Editor’s note: Mr. Muller is not correct. The salary of the personnel director is $62,500, according to the town person-nel department.]

Stop the craziness ————

My wife and family have happily made this town our home for over 50 years. Duxbury during that time was a place where the Givers clearly, and vastly,

outnumbered the Takers. One thing I did was to serve three years on the town Finance Committee, where I specialized in, of all things, the Police Subcommittee, in the 1960s. Today, the Takers would seem to have the loudest voices, but I would say that the Givers are still (quietly) in the majority. I would shudder if this turns out not to be true. This craziness, and particularly outright rudeness on the part of some, has got to stop.

Thinking bigright move on wind power

Think big: That’s the message Duxbury should be sending on wind power. And the Alternative Energy Committee is taking the right approach

toward making municipal wind turbines a reality.The committee deserves credit for rebounding strongly

after a proposed wind turbine bylaw ran into opposition at this year’s Town Meeting and was tabled. They regrouped, reexamined and studied the issue so they’d be better prepared the next time around. A commissioned study has targeted several sites around town –– The DPW yard, North Hill, the transfer station, to name a few –– that are meeting with cautious optimism from residents.

The big snag for the bylaw last time around was the spectre of smaller-scale turbines for private personal or commercial use. Some of those same concerns were echoed at Monday night’s meeting, as it was pointed out a private homeowner selling electricity back to the grid might be interpreted as a business venture.

That’s precisely why it’s important to focus on the issue of a large-scale, town-owned turbine. There are some technicalities of language that still need to be worked out, but in a general sense the Alternative Energy Committee is on the right track.

Focusing on town-owned wind power would also make it easier for the committee to advocate, because such a turbine would benefit all residents of the town. Perhaps there is still a desire for private wind power, and maybe some interested citizen or business owner will take the lead on that angle. But for now, the fear of “not in my backyard” from small turbines may impede Duxbury’s ability to build a big one. And that would be a shame.

There’s a strong call for alternative energy in Duxbury. This is something residents are asking for, and the end result includes only positives for the town. It will lower bills while lessening environmental impact. (Plus, they look cool!)

Citizens here are more environmentally conscious than most, but to steal a line from ZBA member Judi Barrett, being green is about more than open space. It’s time for Duxbury to take the lead on this important issue.

I wanted to respond to allegations in two re-cent letters discussing

my Friday evening presenta-tion at the Unitarian Church in Duxbury.

I am a Jewish-American human rights worker working for a just peace in the Middle East that protects the rights and safety of all people in the region, Israelis and Palestin-ians alike. The recent letters “’Peace’ activist is misleading” and “advertisement didn’t tell the whole truth” alleged fac-tual inaccuracies in my work, so I wish to offer the commu-nity sources for my informa-tion, so that anyone and every-one may check these issues for themselves. Indeed, this is my hope.

First, both of the letters denied that the Jenin massacre occurred, claiming that the UN investigations found otherwise. On the contrary, it is thanks to UN reports (see Report of the Secretary-General prepared pursuant to General Assembly resolution ES, Oct. 10) that this mass killing was recognized, much as the recent Goldstone report seeks to do after the re-cent winter attacks on Gaza and the Negev.

Rabbi Silverman’s letter claimed that Israel recognizes Palestine’s right to exist, yet Is-raeli expansion of Jewish-only settlements in the Palestinian territories continues unabat-ed according to Israeli hu-man rights organizations like B’tselem. These settlements are towns where Rabbi Silverman and I could move tomorrow, yet Palestinians who own the land they were built on are exclud-ed, precisely because they are Muslim or Christian—a clear denial of Palestinians’ rights to their own country and land.

Even Palestinian citizens of Israel are excluded from 93

percent of the land in Israel, which is managed by the Jewish National Fund. As non-Jewish citizens of a Jewish state, they live in Israel as I or any Ameri-can Jew could expect to live if the US became the sovereign state of the Christian White people. They are second-class citizens, extensively docu-mented by B’tselem, Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, and British reporter Jonathan Cook in his telling 2008 article, “The Unwanted Who Stayed.”

Lastly, both letters claimed that I support violence in refer-ence to intifada, an Arabic word which translates in English as “shaking off” or “rebellion.” The first intifada was largely nonviolent, and as someone who believes in the power-ful role played by nonviolent resistance in the Civil Rights Movement, I am proud to sup-port Palestinian and Israeli nonviolent resistance to the occupation, a thriving move-ment that gives me very much hope. In fact, this often under-reported nonviolent resistance movement was a major topic in Friday’s presentation.

I welcome everyone inter-ested in peace in the Middle East to see for themselves my work and my message.

As someone who didn’t be-lieve Israel could do anything wrong in spite of claims to the contrary, I certainly do not ex-pect others to simply take my word for it any more than the aforementioned letters should be taken as truth without check-ing the facts. I hope readers will take the time to judge for themselves who I am, and what we can all do as Americans and human beings to ensure equal rights and freedoms for all people in the Middle East, no matter who.

I have to thank the Dux-bury Fire Department for their swift response

to two recent requests for 911 emergency assistance for my mother. They arrived on the scene quickly, armed with knowledge, experience and professionalism. Their com-mand and coordination of emergency situations is not just commendable, but lifesav-ing. “Thank you” just doesn’t seem like enough. These men

and women are available to each and every one of us, day in and day out. I know they get paid, but the service they per-form is priceless. The peace of mind knowing this terrific team of people is just a phone call away is so comforting. I am extremely grateful for the support they have given to me and my family.

Board members of the Duxbury Farmers’ and Artisans’ Re-

gional Market wish to sincerely thank the following individuals and organizations who helped to make the first season of Duxbury’s very own Farmers’ Market such a success. Dona-tions included: Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts, Com-munity Garden Club of Dux-bury, Duxbury Newcomers’ Club, Lady Laura Interactive Story Telling, Aegis Insurance, Anchor Press, Paula Telch Cooney, The Doherty Family, Janet Draghetti, Douglas and Lydia Hart, Patriot Painters and Builders, PT Krewe Printing Services, Alliance Enterprises, Inc., Bennett’s Gas, Hannah Boulton, Barbara Chase, The Healthy Animal, Sarah Mo-ran, Janice Sidney, Suzanne Blanchard and the Taberner Family.

The dedicated work of the

volunteers also made a huge dif-ference in continuing the mar-ket from week to week, despite every possible kind of weather. With their cheerful and enthu-siastic commitment and their gifts of time and effort result-ing in hundreds of hours, they made a massive donation to our cause. They included Jack Wil-liams who, as Market Ambas-sador, attended every market, Jane O’Neal, Kerry Richards, Judith Hanhisalo, Diane Ventre and Don Carney. This is espe-cially true of the volunteer mar-ket managers, many of whom worked several times such as Erin Carpenter, Ashley Stehn and Peggy Pelletier. Outstand-ing among the young volun-teers who helped the market in so many ways were Nicholas and Caitlyn Stehn and Kyle Knobloch. Board members are also grateful for the help and support their fledgling market received from local newspa-

pers and from town boards such as the Department of Pub-lic Works, the Selectmen, the Recreation Department, Board of Health and especially to the Tarkiln Committee.

Finally, the board would like to extend its appreciation both to the vendors whose hard work and tenacity supported their efforts and to the custom-ers who came not only to make their purchases but to offer encouragement and, in many cases, appreciation that such a market was available, locally.

I was saddened to read in last week’s Clipper about the passing of

David Murphy. Dave was a teacher with class who cared for his students, mentored them in and out of the classroom and was ever devoted to teaching about winning and losing with grace. In addition to his lega-cy as the Hall of Fame coach of DHS baseball for 34 years,

Dave also started the hockey program at DHS in 1968. We all should be thankful for his initiative and tenacity in plant-ing the seeds for what has grown into a first class program today. I was fortunate enough to play for Coach Murphy just like my brother and countless others. The yearbook photos and my old musty hockey bag make it feel like yesterday.

My heart goes out to the Mur-phy family for Dave was one of the real teachers in life and he will be sorely missed. We all have good memories and sto-ries. We will continue to share them. Coach Murphy left his mark and we are all better be-cause of it.

The Duxbury School start time change has negatively impacted

our family by causing exhaus-tion in our kids and constricting our family time.

Young children do not have the capacity to function when exhausted. We religiously get our kids to bed from 8-8:30 p.m., but they are so tired that every morning is a complete fire drill and extremely difficult

to make the bus. Working in a tired state is a skill high school students can handle and need to master if they want to function in today’s society.

Also, family time is con-stantly structured to deal with the early start time. Every weeknight is a mad dash to get the kids in bed for fear of in-creasingly miserable mornings and unproductive school days. The weekends are also geared

to ensure nights are cut short to build up sleep so the kids are rested for the upcoming week.

We strongly urge you to reconsider the school time change. Alden School children deserve the opportunity to be rested for school and Alden School families deserve the opportunity to share time not dominated by early bed times.

On behalf of Dux-bury Newcomers, in partnership with

Duxbury Bay Maritime School, we just wanted to take a moment to thank all the local businesses and vendors who so generously contributed to our Oktoberfest event this weekend.

To the phenomenal chefs, Kathy Hill of Foodie’s, Sue Turley of Depot Street Mar-ket, and The Silent Chef for the fabulous food, we thank

you!To the local vendors who

donated some wonderful raffle items, we thank you!

To Duxbury Bay Maritime School, thank you for partner-ing with us and hosting the event at your beautiful loca-tion.

We were reminded as we visited all these local stores and businesses how much they de-pend on all of the Duxbury res-idents to keep their businesses

thriving. As they were so kind to help us, we just wanted to take a moment and remind ev-eryone to please help the busi-nesses in town and shop local-ly! Thanks again!

Smith and Kathryn Trefry, with Co-Presidents Megan

Lemieux and Maggie Sanford.

I too was saddened by the passing of Dave Murphy. I played hock-

ey for Coach Murphy for four years. Back in the early ‘70’s, hockey was a “new” sport in high school and Coach Murphy was the first hockey coach DHS ever had and he coached for 15 years. One of the best memories I will ever have is when I was a sophomore and we made the states for the first time ever as a

hockey program. Even though we lost to Billerica, he told us afterward how proud we should be to represent Duxbury. He also told us this will not be the last time we ever make it to the states. Boy, was he right! He was always smiling, whether it was in bio class dissecting frogs,walking around town, or even taking those long 5 a.m. bus rides to Falmouth for prac-tice. (he wasn’t smiling when

the police pulled us over on Rt. 3 for speeding!) It would be a great gesture if this year’s team dedicates their season to coach Murphy, our first hockey coach who, among other folks in town, saw the vision in hockey and has made Duxbury one of the finest and most respected programs in the state.

Halloween/Juliette Low Birthday party: Daisy and Brownie Girl Scouts in their Halloween costumes were greeted by members of Ca-dette Troop 80331 as they arrived at the annual Hal-loween/Juliette Low birthday party at Holy Family Church last Friday evening. The girls brought little pumpkins to decorate while they each had their faces painted. Fun ac-tivities included decorating Halloween cookies, musi-cal tombstones, decorate the pumpkin face and eating do-nuts on a string. At the begin-ning of the birthday celebra-tion, the girls gathered around Cadette Maryellen Slayter to learn about the life of Ju-liette Low, the founder of Girl Scouting in the United States, whose birthday happens to fall on Halloween. Juliette Low paid the guests a surprise visit during the presentation. Girls with October birthdays had the honor of blowing out the candles on Juliette’s birthday cake, which she then shared with them. The evening ended with the traditional Friend-ship Circle and each girl re-ceived a special Juliette Low Birthday patch. Troop 80331 is very grateful to Holy Fam-ily Church for again allowing them to use their hall.

Over 115 Alden Elementary School students participated in the Annual Walk-A-Thon to support the Plymouth Area Coalition for the Homeless.

On Nov. 10, Duxbury High School’s Stu-dent Council, with

major contributions from the DHS PTO, the Plymouth Coun-ty District Attorney’s Office and other community members is proud to announce the com-ing of Rachel’s Challenge to the Duxbury Performing Arts Center. Rachel’s Challenge is based upon the theories and ethics of Rachel Joy Scott, the first victim of the Columbine High School massacre, which occurred in Littleton, Colora-do, on April 20, 1999.

The program focuses

around Rachel’s own idea, “I have this theory that if one per-son can go out of their way to show compassion then it will start a chain reaction of the same.” After her death, Ra-chel’s father, Darrel Scott be-gan Rachel’s Challenge to try to make Rachel’s dream a real-ity. By using Rachel’s ideas, Rachel’s Challenge intends to “start a chain reaction” not only in the school but in the en-tire Duxbury Community.

While Rachel’s Challenge is presented by many different family members, Craig Scott, Rachel’s brother will be com-

ing to Duxbury High School. On Nov. 10, students in

grades 9 – 12 will see the mul-timedia presentation led by Craig, who was in the library when the shootings occurred. At 7 p.m. that evening, another presentation will be held for parents and other members of the community, with the same goal, to positively shape the community. All are invited to attend the evening program.

For more information re-garding Rachel’s Challenge please visit www.rachelschal-lenge.com.

Michele Reagan Joins the Duxbury Office of William Raveis Real EstateDuxbury resident Michele Reagan has joined the Duxbury office of William Raveis Real Estate as a sales associate. William Raveis, Chairman and CEO announced Michele’s affiliation with the company recently. “It gives me great pleasure to welcome Michele to our organization. We look forward to providing her with the key capabilities she needs to take her career to the next level,” said Raveis. Debbie Tortorella, Sales Manager, echoed this sentiment, stating, “Michele is a welcomed addition to our team. Her endless enthusiasm, professionalism, and work ethic is an inspiration not only to her fellow real estate colleagues, but to her clients alike.”

“My international marketing and sales experience has helped me become an expert to foreign buyers, families relocating to the South Shore, and clients who are glad to refer me to friends and family. In addition, having relocated several times myself, including spending four years in Hong Kong as an expa-triate, I have a deep appreciation for the challenges individuals and families face when moving. My goal is to help make the transition as smooth as possi-ble. The sale or purchase of a home is one of life’s most important experiences and I’m honored to be a part of that for my treasured clients,” stated Michele.

It’s a tricky thing, thanking Harry Katz. He always thanks me first, or gives it right back if

I sneak up and thank him first. Harry’s buoyant good will comes right over the phone, and even sticks to his e-mails (no small gift in the cold, slick world of virtual texts). He’s the service committee chairman of the Duxbury Interfaith Council (Catherine Cullen, President). This year’s holiday food program for Duxbury’s distressed

families has a bigger challenge than ever.

Harry didn’t say this; he didn’t need to: food costs are up, and families are more stressed than ever in the current economy. He did say, quite

simply, “We need $50,000 to take care of this year’s budget for food baskets.”

I should have known this, and I’ve probably been told before. This year it stuck in my mind: $50,000. The program serves over 150 families, mostly in Duxbury and all quite nearby. That’s a little over $333 per family for three holidays: Thanksgiving, Winter, and Spring. In other words, $111.11 per holiday feast, for a whole family.

By the way, the Interfaith Council

Girls’ soccer back on trackBy mike Halloran, sports editor

[email protected]

The Lady Dragons re-turned to form after their 5-1 loss to Whitman-Hanson last week with three straight wins over Patriot League foes.

A 7-1 blowout of North Quincy got the week off to a rousing start, and it continued on Thursday with a 3-1 win over Hingham.

Duxbury struck quickly, as Jen Moore came out of the right corner less than five min-utes into the contest and beat Hingham goalkeeper Katie Walsh with a blast into the top far corner, putting Duxbury ahead 1-0.

A Hingham timeout seemed to get the Harbor-women back on track, as they responded with a corner and a couple of bursts downfield that produced a pair of shots that went wide of the net.

Another Hingham corner at the five-minute mark pro-duced no results, but it did send the Duxbury offense in transition, with Caitlin Burke dribbling into the box and just missing a goal when her shot went by the left post.

The second half started with the fans hardly seated and the players still milling around their benches when

Moore notched her second of the afternoon to give the Lady Dragons some breathing room at 2-0.

It looked like the Lady Dragons were about to take a 3-0 lead at the 29-minute mark when Emily Gallagher broke in alone, but her shot went up and over the crossbar, as the lead remained at two.

Hingham would pressure the Duxbury defense the rest of the half, forcing Brook to make a couple of big saves. However, Gallagher took the pressure off of Duxbury when she gathered in a loose ball and fired it into the top corner with 3:23 to go to ice the victory.

Hingham’s Kate Bailey ruined Brook’s attempt for

her fifth shutout of the season when she scored with 21 sec-onds left in the game.

On Saturday, Duxbury tangled with a desperate Pem-broke squad that needed a tie or a win to qualify for post-season play. The Lady Drag-ons had barely beaten (2-1) the Titans just two weeks earlier, so Coach Emerson Coleman knew his team was in for a battle.

With winds whipping around, the Titans had it going their way in the first half. For 25 minutes, play stayed on the Duxbury side of the field, as Pembroke had several corners and the defense was on con-stant alert.

Momentum swung over

the final 15 minutes, as the Lady Dragons earned a pair of corners and kept the visitors off the board–a strategy Cole-man was hoping for.

With the wind in Dux-bury’s favor for the second half it was expected that the Lady Dragons would pep-per Pembroke keeper Alex Smith. It failed to happen, as Pembroke’s desperate circum-stances kept the pressure on Brook and the defense.

A Katie Finocchiaro blast early in the half was Dux-bury’s best chance for a go-ahead goal, while the Duxbury defense had its hands full with the never-say-die Titans.

While the game appeared on its way to a tie and a tourna-ment spot for the Titans, Mother Nature had other ideas.

With 10:37 left in the game, Burke floated a corner kick from Davis’ left over her out-stretched arms where Moore came running in and knocked it home for the eventual game-winner.

Pembroke had a serious threat with 2:10 remaining, but de-fender Meghan Woomer got back in time to break up the play and preserve the shutout for Brook.

is, more than ever, interfaith. The membership group includes congregations and other faith groups including everyone from (where should I begin?) Baha’i to the Church of the Nazarene. (I used the beginning and ending of the Council’s member list on their Web site, duxinterfaith.com.) All three Abrahamic religions are represented (Jews, Christians, and Muslims) and there’s more room in the pews for a few other views. Thanksgiving is a non-denominational American holiday, but Christmas and Easter are Christian. Interfaith food baskets, however, are universal, so they refer to “December” holidays and “Spring” holidays.

Harry asked that I mention two hands-on food drives, both held at Foodie’s, Saturday, Nov. 21 from 8 a.m.-1 p.m., and again Saturday, Dec. 12 from 8 a.m.-1 p.m. Foodie’s, of course, is the Duxbury supermarket off Hall’s Corner, next to the post office. Drop food off, or go inside to shop for the council’s needs while you do your own shopping. They’ll be sure to tell you what they need.

Donate money by sending checks payable to the Duxbury Interfaith Council, P.O. Box 1161, Duxbury, MA 02331. Any amount helps. Donate yourself by volunteering Monday, Nov. 23 from 9 a.m. -3 p.m. sorting and packing food, or Tuesday, Nov. 24 from 9 a.m.-12 p.m. Loading food into cars begins at noon on the 23rd, with limited home delivery after 2 p.m.

Donate joy by baking goodies – cookies, brownies, quick-breads, pies, cakes – and dropping them off no later than Sunday, Nov. 22. When you’ve done baking for joy, bake for yourself. Peace settles in a stressed family when food has been taken off the problem list for a few days. But home-baked goodies bring more than peace. They bring joy and hope. Trust me on this. And if your goodies taste better with butter, bring that, too.

One other note: when you’re selecting non-perishable foods to donate, let your hearts open wide. Save the year-old kidney beans for your own chili. Give the best of the best. Choose meaty, yummy stews and veggies you’d be happy to see on your own shelf. Give a stressed family more stress (read: a rock-hard butternut squash) and you’ve failed your own intentions. Give them hearty food they can dive into, and you’ve given them love. It’s a feast, not a home economics lesson. Make it easy.

For questions, call the Interfaith Council at 781-934-8388. Donate a turkey at the same phone number – turkeys require some special planning. Does this seem lavish? At $111.11 per family, per feast, I think not. But I wish you could see, just once, the joy in their faces when the little ones tear open their treats. And Harry Katz is thanking me? No, Harry. Thank you.

Dragons rise from the deadBy mike Halloran, sports editor

[email protected]

It could have been the excitement of the afternoon pep rally, or maybe Dan Can-dell hypnotized the team as he warmed up for this Friday night’s performance at the DHS auditorium

Whatever it was, the Drag-ons walked through the first 22 minutes of Friday night’s game in a trance, looking like zombies while committing four turnovers in the first half of their key Patriot League game with Whitman-Hanson.

It sure looked bleak for the Dragons as they went to the locker room at halftime trailing 13-0. However, they awoke from their funk in the third quarter, scoring 28 points to grab the lead for good in a 35-20 win over the Panthers.

Prospects for the playoffs boil down to a three-game stretch that started with the

Panthers and will continue this Saturday afternoon at 2 p.m., when Duxbury travels to Hing-ham to take on the Harbormen. A win will pit the Dragons against Scituate the following week where a victory will put Coach Dave Maimaron’s team into postseason play.

“You can’t afford to lose any of these league games,” said the Duxbury coach. “This game with Hingham coming up has always been the game that determined the league champions since I have been here.”

Duxbury suffered its first mishap just over two min-utes into Friday night’s game, when punter Ben Startzell’s punt was blocked and returned to the Dragons’ 30-yard line by W-H’s Jermaine Carter.

Eight plays later Tyler Munn took it into the end zone on a five-yard run, and David Colclough’s PAT made it 7-0.

A failed onsides kick gave Duxbury great field position at the 49-yard line. However, Kyle Daigneault intercepted QB Kane Haffey on the second

play of the drive. The Panthers gave it right back when they failed to make a fourth and one at the 40-yard line, thanks to a great tackle by linebacker Max Randle.

Midway through the sec-ond quarter, the Dragons took a huge gamble on fourth and one at their own 34-yard line and fumbled, giving the visi-tors possession at the 30.

Faced with a third and eleven, the Panthers caught a break on a roughing the passer penalty, placing the ball at the 21-yard line and setting up a one-yard run for a TD by Daigneault. A two-point at-tempt failed and the visitors lead 13-0 as both teams went to their locker rooms.

“I think a couple of my guys were mad they weren’t picked for homecoming queen, but that attitude changed at halftime,” said a joking Maim-aron.

Getting over their rejec-tion during the 15-minute break, the Dragons came out in the third quarter and blew the Panthers off the field, scor-ing on their third play when Haffey found junior Matt Hal-lisey down in the left corner of the end zone for a 21-yard TD pass. Startzell’s PAT was good and Duxbury was back in the game at 13-7.

The Dragons’ defense started to take hold, forcing a punt that was fumbled on the snap with sophomore Jay McDermott taking down the punter for a 13-yard loss.

A pair of Haffey runs and a personal foul brought the ball down to the five-yard line where senior captain Bobby Murphy went up the middle to tie the game at 13-13. Start-zell’s PAT split the uprights

and the Dragons went ahead for good at 14-13.

Less than a minute later Randle put a ferocious hit on the W-H QB, knocking the ball loose for the Dragons to re-cover on the Panther’s 14-yard line. Five plays later Murphy went in for his second score of the game and Startzell’s PAT had Duxbury up 21-13 with 2:50 left in the quarter.

A key third-down stop by Randle and the Buonagu-rio brothers (Dan and Henry) forced a punt deep in the W-H zone that Hallisey returned to the 34-yard line. With 26 sec-onds remaining in the quarter, Haffey hit senior Pat McWil-liams for a 33-yard TD toss, with Startzell’s PAT making it 28-13.

What looked like the start of a rout suddenly became a game again in one play, as Daigneault took a hand-off and went 73 yards around the

right side for a TD that made it 28-20.

There was still plenty of time for the Panthers to regroup. However Haffey, directed the Dragons on a nine-play, 64-yard drive that consumed just over five min-utes, before he found tight end C.J. Cote for a 20-yard TD strike to make it 35-20.

“You can’t make four turn-overs in a half and expect to win,” said Maimaron. “They had the short field the whole time in the first half. They are a solid team and we were lucky to be able to get back in the game.”

Maimaron went to his bench in the final five minutes and fans got to see freshman team stars Jon Hurvitz and Henry Narlee, both of whom showed why the ninth-graders are undefeated and raising ex-pectations for Duxbury foot-ball over the next few years.

Duxbury’s 14-game un-beaten streak came to an un-fortunate end on Thursday afternoon in Hingham, as it lost its first soccer game of the season to the Harbormen, 1-0, and in the process lost its bid for the Patriot League title.

While Duxbury finished with a 10-1-4 record in league play (24 pts.), Hingham ended up at 12-2-1 (25 pts.), earning two points for a win and one point for a tie. To make mat-ters worse, the Harbormen scored by accident when Brian

Blanchard’s shot in the 25th minute of action deflected off a Dragon defender for the only score of the game.

Duxbury’s forte has been defense for most of the season, while the offense has scored just one goal in each of six games and two goals in each of four games. While Coach John Tocci maintains that his team has gotten its chances, it becomes more critical from now on that the Dragons start to bury those chances as post season play begins.

The Harbormen were well aware that the key to stopping

the Duxbury offense was to keep senior Dan Sangster in check and they did just that, limiting his chances, as well as those of the rest of the Drag-ons.

Hingham netminder An-drew Blomberg didn’t make

many saves, but when he did they were timely, as he knocked away a David Hem-ingway cross and minutes later saved a deflected shot by Sangster in the first half.

While the Duxbury of-fense may have been slug-gish, the defense turned in its usual stingy performance, as Steve Blout and goaltender Max Cote did an excellent job keeping Hingham’s team scor-ing leader Brett Canepa off the scoreboard.

Earlier in the week, the Dragons got a scare from North Quincy, but managed to pull it out with a 3-2 win.

Playing on a muddy and slippery natural grass field, Duxbury was far more cau-tious than they had been in their early-season 4-0 win over the Red Raiders.

Duxbury opened the scor-ing in the 12th minute of play when Zach Gino took a diago-nal pass on the ground from Sangster and dribbled in closer and around the NQ keeper for a 1-0 lead.

The Red Raiders would respond 10 minutes later when they scored on a direct kick that eluded Cote and snuck un-der him to tie the game at 1-1

Gino was involved once again, as he sent a ball up the middle to Jimmy Landry, who cut behind his defender and dribbled into box for a right-footed finish that gave the visi-tors a 2-1 halftime lead.

The action went back and forth in the second half with Duxbury holding onto its slim one-goal margin. With the clock winding down, NQ’s Ian Martins tied the game in the

36th minute when he buried the rebound of a Cote save.

The pressure continued on Cote, but this time it turned positive, as he cleared the ball to midfield where Sangster pounced on it. The senior cap-tain proceeded to dribble past one defender before firing a shot under the NQ goalie for the game-winner.

The team will end its regular-season schedule on Wednesday afternoon in Dux-bury at 4 p.m. when it enter-tains Marshfield.

On Thursday the MIAA will announce its pairings for the South Sectionals with the Dragons expected to open with a home playoff game. Consult the DHS sports Web site for playoff schedules.

A sTeP AHeAD: Morgan Dwinnell beats his man to the ball during last week’s 1-0 loss to the Harbormen.


The Lady Dragons ended their regular-season schedule on Friday with a 6-2 win over Marshfield, finishing off a week in which they lost to top-rated Hopkinton, 1-0, and tied Notre Dame of Hingham, 0-0, to finish at 14-2-2.

Lila Haffey was the big gun for Duxbury with three goals, while Grace Nissi (2) and Mimi Smith also got in the scoring column.

The pairings for the MIAA field hockey tournament were

announced on Monday and Duxbury’s schedule can be seen on the DHS athletic Web site.


They say that being close only counts in horseshoes, but that is all it took last week in Easton for the DHS boys’ golf team to make it to Tuesday’s Division II State finals at the Blackstone Na-tional Golf Club in Sutton.

Needing to finish in one of the top two spots in the Sectional, the Dragons (309) did just that, finishing six strokes behind Sandwich (303) and two in front of Dennis-Yarmouth (311) to qualify for the trip to Central MA.

“We tried to play smart and not take anything higher than a bogey,” said Coach Jack Stoddard of his team’s consistent play at the Easton Country Club.

Led by Billy Curley’s 76, five of the six Duxbury golf-ers were able to shoot rounds under 80. If not for Dennis-Yarmouth’s Josh Moore’s medallist round of 70, the Dragons would have been clear winners along with Sandwich.

Captain Jonathan Stod-dard was a stroke behind Curley at 77, while Kevin Kuckuk (78), Stephan Krall (78), and James Magner (79) rounded out the Duxbury scoring.

The Clipper sports sec-tion had gone to press prior to Tuesday’s final, so check the DHS athletic Web site for the results.

The Whitman-Hanson freshmen football team scored in the first two minutes of last Thursday’s game with Dux-bury, but then watched as the Dragons came back for a dra-matic 16-14 win over the Pan-thers.

Led by the running of Jon Hurvitz and Henry Narlee, as well as the defensive efforts of Robert Kosharek and Owen Gray, Duxbury’s comeback win keeps its record a perfect 8-0.

After giving up the open-ing score the Dragons roared back, driving 70 yards on sev-en plays, only to have QB John Geary’s pass picked off in the end zone. The Dragon defense held the Panthers on the fol-lowing series, forcing them to turn the ball over on downs at their own 35-yard line.

Hurvitz followed with three long runs before Narlee bolted in from the two-yard line for the touchdown. Hur-vitz then barreled in for the two-point conversion to tie the score at 8-8 where it remained for the rest of the half.

Pat Buell forced a Whit-man-Hanson fumble on the kickoff return to start the second half, with Kevin Win-chester and Cody Dorman-dy recovering for the Dragons at the Panther’s 22-yard line. Geary wasted little time, con-necting with Jay Walsh for 21 yards on the next play. Geary then took the snap and ran it in from one yard out to make the score 14-8. Hurvitz clawed in another two-point conversion for what proved to be the win-ning points.

Whitman-Hanson re-sponded with an aerial bar-rage, connecting on three con-secutive times for more than 15 yards each. A quick strike of 20 yards into the corner of the end zone made it 16-14 when the Panthers missed the extra points.

The Dragons defense then took over, as Joe Guilfoile, CJ LoConte and Marshall McCa-rthy spearheaded a Duxbury defense that stopped the Pan-thers for good and preserved the Dragons’ undefeated sea-son.

Double DuTy: Jon Hurvitz (24) takes off during Thursday’s freshman game with Whitman-Hanson. Hurvitz’s effort earned him his first varsity appearance the following night against the Panthers.

Kingfish Swimming has organized a “student-driven” fundraiser that will provide young swimmers with the opportunity to participate in an intense week of rigor-ous training with Olympic Gold Medalist Dara Torres at the world-class Aquatic Complex located in Coral Springs, Fla.

The kids of Kingfish Swimming have been seg-mented into ‘fundraising teams’ and are offering resi-dents of Duxbury and sur-rounding towns the chance to have their property land-scaped for a nominal fee. The fee is considered a do-nation that will directly ben-efit their chance to travel to the much-anticipated Winter Training in Coral Springs, Fla. Teams are comprised of both boys and girls from Duxbury, Kingston, Pem-broke and other surrounding towns.

“This fundraiser means so much to us,” said Patrick O’Neal, who is a Duxbury resident and senior Kingfish swimmer. “This is one of our most important chances to show what we’re capable of in our current swimming (career), as we submit appli-cations in hopes of becoming student-athletes at colleges around the country. King-fish Swimming has opened many doors to what others consider “reach” schools in the college search process. You could consider this a very important step for our future.”

Kingfish Swimming is comprised of over 120 tal-

ented and hardworking ath-letes ranging in age from 7 through 18. The Team practices at The Kingsbury Club in Kingston. The team is lead by Coach Jay Craft, whose credentials include Olympic Trials Swimmer, 1993 NCAA Division 1 All-American, Boston Globe Coach of the Year and head coach of the Duxbury High School varsity swimming team.

“I am so proud to work with all of these great kids,” commented Coach Craft. “The idea for the fundraiser was completely initiated by them, and you really can’t help but get caught up in their enthusiasm. I wish them much success.”

Coach Craft is sup-ported by his staff of expert coaches who provide King-fish swimmers with an op-portunity to train and com-pete year-round on a United States Swim team. The USS team offers all levels of swimming, from dual meets and state competitions to the United States Olympic Tri-als.

By BetH macleod, special to tHe clipper

The last time I directed a production of “Amahl and the Night Visitors” I was pregnant with my son Noah. In fact, he was born during the production.

Now, six years later, as a mother I find it a much more emotional piece for me, because I understand the opera in a deeper and more spiritual way that it always makes me cry.

Beyond the sets and the music and the friendships I create when putting on Gian Carlo Menotti’s beloved classic, I love “Amahl” because of its message of hope and love. The giving of an innocent gift changes a child’s life immeasurably, and the love of the wise kings for an even more humble king who changes the world, is powerful. The layers of the message are huge and, in my experience, every person who sees the opera leaves touched by it. At one performance six years ago I met a man who seeks out a production of “Amahl” every year because of his love for this heart-warming opera.

I cherish rehearsing “Amahl” because of the boy sopranos. At 10 years old, these singers are on the last edge of boyhood, and I know it won’t be long before they see the world through more jaded eyes. The opera is bittersweet every time we do it for that very reason. Our original Amahls are in college now!

The purity of the boy soprano voice is exciting, thrilling and must be handled with such exquisite care. I can only produce the opera when we have not one but two boys, as there are always at least two performances and, in case of illness, it’s wise to have a backup. So while finding one isn’t easy, finding two can be really daunting and when you do, well, it’s such a joyful thing. Chris Feth from Pembroke and Andrew Northrop from Kingston are quite similar physically but their voices are quite different. They are both very hard working and talented.

I encourage families to see one of the two Opera by the Bay productions of this amazing opera. With its lovely but simple sets, beautiful costumes and props, the whole production has a hugely unified look that very much suits the intimate performance spaces we’ve chosen. The first production is right here in Duxbury on Saturday, November 7, 7 pm at the Ellison Center for the Arts, 64 St. George Street. The second production is in Hingham at South Shore Conservatory, One Conservatory Drive on Sunday, November 8 at 4 pm. We priced the tickets affordably to accommodate those affected by the economy. At $15 for adults and $5 for children, tickets will sell quickly. To purchase tickets, please visit www.sscmusic.org, call 781-749-7565, ext. 20, or visit our Duxbury campus.

Beth MacLeod is the Artistic Director of South Shore Conservatory’s Opera by the Bay, an adult opera troupe dedicated to making opera more accessible to new audiences. Beth is also a voice instructor and the Conservatory’s Director of Performance.

Even though the month of October has come to a close, membership is always open to become a Friend of the Dux-bury Free Library. The Friends is a volunteer organization that promotes, advocates for, and supports the Library. Con-

sider what the Friends of the library contributed last year because of donations made by residents: $14,000 for books, periodicals, CDs, and DVDs. $4,000 for the children’s sum-mer reading program and $2,000 for the young adult

summer program. Due to com-munity donations, the library had funds to supplement the budget for materials and was able to secure state accredita-tion for patrons to participate in interlibrary loans through the Old Colony Library Net-work – a vital tool in today’s world. Last year Duxbury resi-dents enjoyed borrowing over 30,000 items from other towns. Without additional funds and state accreditation failure, resi-dents could be denied access to the OCLN network. Imagine what it would cost to purchase these thousands of books, CDs and DVDs. Your contribution is crucial to the future suc-cess of our library. Support the Duxbury Fee Library and be-come a Friend today. Member-ship forms are available at the circulation desk.

children enjoy A constellation of stories and songs program funded by the Friends this summer.
