Chief clash

By Justin GraeBer, Clipper editor [email protected]

The Duxbury School Com-mittee met on Wednesday to hash out some of the issues and philosophical differences that have been dividing the committee recently. But the meeting almost didn’t take place, as the committee con-sidered canceling the meeting after a Clipper reporter refused to leave.

Printed signs directed visi-tors to a conference room in the high school, and chairs were set up for an audience. However, at the beginning of the meet-

ing, School Committee George Cipolletti asked a woman tap-ing the meeting for local cable access to shut off the camera, saying that the committee “had a choice” whether or not to al-low the taping of the meeting. Residents in attendance were told that although the meeting was posted according to the open meeting law, having peo-ple view the meeting might be detrimental to the discussion, because School Committee members might not be able to speak freely.

It’s been a year since devel-oper John Keith first presented a plan to expand the existing Island Creek Village. After many revisions and back-and-forth discussions between the development team and the Zoning Board of Appeals, the two sides seemed much closer to an agreement after meeting on Thursday night.

“I think we’re ending on a very happy note,” said ZBA Chairman Dennis Murphy as

the meeting adjourned.However, the meeting did

not begin with such an opti-mistic tone. The two sides had differences over a number of issues, including the height of the rental apartment buildings and the economic feasibil-ity of the project as a whole. The development team, led by consultant Ed Marchant, had maintained that some of the changes demanded by the town had made the project known as

A large crowd packed the town hall Monday night to show their support for Police Chief Mark DeLuca, some calling on selectmen to re-move Town Manager Richard MacDonald from office and threatening to revoke the Town Manager Act.

A few residents did defend the town manager, however, and the husband of a former police officer charged DeLu-ca and the petition organizers with intimidation.

DeLuca’s supporters pre-sented select-men with a pe-tition signed by over 500 Dux-bury residents who want the police chief to keep his job. In

June, MacDonald announced he would not renew DeLuca’s contract, which expires Nov. 20. Under the Town Manager Act of 1987, the town manager has the ability to appoint or re-

Duxbury Police were in-volved in a manhunt most of Thursday afternoon after a ho-meowner interrupted a break-in on Seabury Point.

Lt. Lewis Chubb of the Duxbury Police said the de-partment received a call from a homeowner who had in-terrupted a burglary attempt around 11 a.m.

The homeowner heard a door open and saw a stranger in the basement, Chubb said. The first officer on the scene spotted someone running from the house and apprehended Ty-ler Peach, 25, of Elm Street.

However, police believed there was at least one other per-son involved in the home inva-sion and they began searching the area using dogs. A helicop-ter from the State Police’s air wing was also scrambled to search the neighborhood from the sky.

Police combed the area until about 6 p.m., when they called off the search, Chubb said.

Peach was charged with breaking and entering in the daytime with intent to commit a felony and placing a person in fear, as well as resisting ar-rest and disorderly conduct.

Overall, the latest results of the Massachusetts Com-prehensive Assessment Test – better known as MCAS – are positive for the Duxbury Pub-lic Schools.

Students showed improve-ment in eleven of the sev-enteen exams given (grades 3-10 are tested in math, Eng-lish language arts, science and biology.) All of the students taking the tenth grade science exam passed. And overall, the district is meeting the federal goals established by the fed-eral No Child Left Behind act. This is also known as Adequate Yearly Progress, or AYP.

“We’re hitting all of our performance targets,” said As-sistant Superintendent Edwin Walsh.

Walsh praised High School Science Department Head Cheryl Lewis for the district’s high science scores.

“She was really ahead of the curve on this,” he said, noting that the science depart-ment was one of the first to do co-teaching.

Adequate Yearly Progress, however, measures more than just the overall performance of each school, building or grade. It also measures the perfor-mance of individual “sub-groups” that are organized by special education, income and race. The goal of No Child Left Behind is to have all stu-dents in all subgroups – not just the district as a whole ––

pass the test by the 2013-2014 school year.

Duxbury has made prog-ress in its subgroup perfor-mance from last year, when the special education subgroup in grades 3-5 for math, grades 3-5 for English language arts, and grades 6-8 for math did not meet Adequate Yearly Progress.

This year, the special edu-cation subgroup in grades 3-5 did not meet AYP for English language arts. Walsh said this is troubling because it’s the fourth year in a row this group has not met the federal goals. The school is also still on warning for the middle school math subgroup, because a sub-group must meet AYP for two consecutive years to be taken off the watch list.

Because of this, the school must be a working on a correc-tive action plan. This means the school must change their curriculum, and Walsh said this is the district’s fourth year with a new reading program. It is also the second year of an additional ELA curricu-lum for students not reading at grade level, and is the first full year of a co-teaching pro-gram, where special education teachers work with classroom teacher rather than pulling stu-dents out. There has also been intensive professional devel-opment for the staff.

Walsh said while there’s no one-size-fits all answer to explain the test scores, there are a number of factors that

could be contributing. “Most of the disabilities are

language based,” Walsh said of the students. He pointed out that the scores for the special education subgroups come up to par as the students get older, possibly as the students learn coping mechanisms.

“They’re learning to take tests,” he said. “Their learning styles may be different.”

The high turnover in the special education department – the district has had four direc-tors in four years – may also be hurting students because of a lack of consistency.

Walsh also noted that not meeting Adequate Yearly Progress doesn’t mean test scores aren’t improving, it just means they aren’t improving enough.

“It’s a moving target,” he said. “Our subgroups are most assuredly making progress.”

Outside of the subgroup issues, students who are in the “needs improvement” or “warning/failing” category of MCAS scores are given help inside and outside the classroom. Walsh himself just wrote and obtained a grant for $12,000 for MCAS tutoring.

There are many challeng-es that go into MCAS scores. One is that subgroups are only counted if there are 40 or more students. The fact that another district is meeting AYP doesn’t mean there aren’t special edu-cation students struggling with the test – it may just mean there aren’t enough students to make a subgroup.

Also, Massachusetts faces

a unique challenge when it comes to translating MCAS scores into the federal stan-dards. Because No Child Left Behind uses the terminology “proficient,” students who fall into the “needs improvement” category of MCAS scores are considered failing as well as students in the “warning/fail-ing category.” In other states, only students is the bottom category are considered fail-ing according to AYP.

Walsh said the district is also looking at broader op-tions for improving MCAS scores, including revamping the leveling system.

“It does inhibit overall progress,” Walsh said.

He also said that the idea of teachers “teaching to the test” has some merit, although teachers and administrators across the state are learning to cope.

“They have adapted. I still think it does stunt creativity. It doesn’t allow a teacher to ex-tend a lesson,” he said.

Overall, he said he is pleased with the steps the dis-trict is taking to improve test performance.

“I’m comfortable with the direction. You have to con-tinually have a process where you’re getting better,” he said. “You have to have a process built into the culture of the dis-trict and I think we have that.”

Little Brown JobsBy fahy ByGate, Clipper Columnist

Autumn is just the best time of year, isn’t it? The weather is great, the colors are terrific (I hear they will be spectacular this year thanks to all the early

summer rain), the children are in school. The autumn is also a great time to go birding. If you are lucky, the bugs are low or gone and there are all those wonderful migratory birds around.

After you have checked out all the shorebirds on the

beach and all the warblers and finches in the forest, now what? How about some of those places you always neglect? The fields and weedy places are just hopping with the LBJs of the bird world. The Little Brown Jobs are a challenge but so much fun when you succeed. And the scrub and weed fields and marshes have probably been ignored by most birders all summer and are ripe for the picking. So, grab a good bird book, your binoculars and head for a place like Bay Farm.

Bay Farm is a joy to walk around. It sits right on Kingston Bay and in the summer it is the nesting ground of Bobolinks, Goldfinches, Meadowlarks and more. The wildflowers are spectacular, too. You can find goldenrod, milkweed, thistle, Joe Pye weed and asters all of which attract birds and butterflies. And when the plants are through flowering and the seeds appear then the sparrows move in. Some sparrows like the American Tree Sparrow eat a diet of insects all summer but come winter they switch entirely to seeds. Their thick bills are ideal for cracking seeds and their feet are designed to scratch out plant material from the ground. Even in the dead of winter and the ground is covered with snow, sparrows will flutter their wings over exposed weeds to dislodge the seeds.

Any weedy or marshy place is also good if you are on a sparrow hunt. Wet spots can be very productive for some sparrows. Swamp Sparrows, for instance, are ground foragers with longer legs than most which allows them to wade into wet spots for aquatic invertebrates. Like other sparrows, they like nearby bushes where they can escape danger. They have lots of good field marks such as a black eye stripe, a gray chest and gray cheeks and the males have rusty caps!

Knowing all this about sparrows will help you find them, of course, but it doesn’t take the place of studying your field guide. The tendency to wait until you stumble across a bird and then go riffling through the book is typical of most of us. We are impatient to know! But another approach is to pick a common species of bird, in this case a sparrow, and go for it. This way you are not expecting a Swamp Sparrow in the pine woods. If you know for instance that Savannah Sparrows love the rose bushes on Duxbury Beach (especially the ones near the end of the bridge), it will increase your chances of finding one. Check its picture; note the yellow stripe above the eye. Go online and listen to its song. By the time you get to the bridge that bird will have no chance of escaping your list!

Join the Committee for Middle East Peace for a free event at the First Parish Church in Duxbury on Friday, Oct. 23 at 7

p.m. featuring acclaimed activist, Anna Baltzer. Anna is a Jewish-American Columbia graduate, Fulbright scholar, granddaughter of Holocaust refugees, and award-winning lecturer and author on the Middle East conflict. She will present “Life in Occupied Palestine: Eyewitness Stories & Photos,” which outlines human rights abuses and the joint Palestinian-Israeli non-violent resistance movement, unknown to many.

Coffee and refreshments will be available at 7 p.m., and the lecture will begin at 7:30 p.m. The event is free but donations will be gratefully accepted.

Baltzer’s voice for peace has been heard on over 100 tele-vision appearances and lectures at more than 300 universities, schools, churches, mosques, and synagogues around the world. As a volunteer with the International Women’s Peace Service in the West Bank, Baltzer documented human rights abuses and supported Palestinian-led nonviolent resistance to the Occupa-tion. She will also be signing copies of the latest edition of her book, “Witness in Palestine: A Jewish American Woman in the Occupied Territories.” Baltzer is a contributor to three upcom-ing books on the subject, serves on the Middle East committee of the Women’s International League for Peace & Freedom, and on the Board of Directors of the Research Journalism Institute, Grassroots Jerusalem, and Council for the National Interest.

Island Creek North no longer “economically viable.”

The term is something of a magic bullet when it comes to 40B projects, because the state standards say a developer may always choose to proceed with a development that appears to be uneconomic if the subsidiz-ing agency feels the developer has the resources to complete the project.

A peer review consultant hired by the town to review the project’s finances, Richard Heaton, met with some fierce criticism from Marchant.

“I think it’s fair to say we strongly disagree with al-most everything in [Richard Heaton’s] report,” he said. “I didn’t see very much balance in this report.”

Marchant said the devel-opers have tried to be cooper-ative throughout the process, eliminating 70 percent of the planned commercial space, changing building heights and preserving the affordability of existing units.

“We’ve tried to be cooper-ative throughout this process” he said.

Before the two sides got deep into an argument, how-

ever, Marchant said his team had an alternative plan that would satisfy many of the board’s concerns.

Architect Andrew Za-leski presented a revised plan that reduced the height of the apartment buildings from four stories to three.

Also, all the project’s for-sale condos would be con-verted to rental. This is impor-tant, Marchant said, because instead of 190 of the project’s units qualifying as affordable, all 238 would count. If the project is accepted, Duxbury would have 8.03 percent af-fordable housing (the goal of the 40B law is 10 percent.)

To make up for the lost income of the condo, the de-veloper will add four three bedroom townhouses, and will take the unusual step of add-ing a floor to two of the exist-ing elderly housing buildings, as well as elevators.

“This is where the creative side of things comes in,” said Marchant. “That would pro-vide some transition to the three story buildings.”

The board, as well as members of the audience from the town’s affordable housing committee, reacted to the re-vised plans positively.

“I think it’s a positive de-velopment,” said ZBA mem-ber Michael Gill.

“I think this is a tremen-dous improvement and ben-efits our town,” said Dianne Bartlett of the Affordable Housing Trust.

ZBA Chairman Dennis Murphy asked if there was any possibility rental units in the project could be put up for sale.

“Once they’re rental they tend to stay rental,” said Marchant.

The town’s review en-gineer Tom Houston said he would need to review the plan in detail, only seeing it for the first time on Thursday, but said he didn’t see any major problems.

“Nothing on this site plan jumps out as being objection-able or being unreasonable,” Houston said.

Heaton also said there is no reason to re-review the proj-ect’s economic status, since there is no longer a disagree-ment between the developer and the ZBA.

The public hearing was continued until Nov. 12.

Consultant Richard Heaton explains his analysis of Island Creek North’s economic situation to Zoning Board of Appeals members Michael Gill, Dennis Murphy and David Marsocci.

New Island Creek plan met with cautious optimism

The Art Complex Mu-seum will present The Black-stone Trio on Sunday, Oct. 4, at 4 p.m. The Trio includes mezzo-soprano D’Anna For-tunato, clarinetist Chester Br-eznia, and pianist, Malcolm Halliday - three renowned art-ists who join forces to present a delightful array of chamber music in an intimate setting. Their performance has been justly celebrated for its excit-ing, innovative programs ap-pealing to a broad range of audiences.

Mezzo-soprano D’Anna Fortunato has created leading roles for many of America’s top opera companies. Her fes-tival engagements are numer-ous, as are her solo appear-

ances with major orchestras. Fortunato’s CDs number over 30, including roles in premiere recordings of eight Handel op-eras and oratorios.

Clarinetist Chester Br-ezniak has emerged as one of America’s finest chamber musicians, performing with the Vermeer and Muir String Quartets, the Rafael Trio, the Atlanta Virtuosi, and as a founding member of the criti-cally acclaimed Cambridge Chamber Players. He has performed with both Ameri-can and foreign symphonies. His northeastern recording of Zemlinsky’s Trio in D minor has been praised by major mu-sic publications such as the Musical Times of London, and

Stereo Review.Pianist Malcolm Halliday

has performed in the U.S. and Europe, both as a soloist and as a chamber musician. Hailed by the Boston Globe as an “eminent artist” at the modern piano, he also performs with period pianos from museums and private collections, in such venues as the Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York), Jordan Hall (Boston), and Me-chanics Hall (Worcester, MA). An advocate of American music, his recent critically ac-claimed CD, Impressions (Al-bany) features piano music of the American composer Leo Sowerby.

Distinguished artist Rob-ert Smullyan Sloan exhibited 30 of his recent paintings re-cently at The Village at Dux-bury, where he now makes his home. The exhibit was celebrated with a reception at-tended by fellow residents, his daughter and several friends, along with Theodore E. Steb-bins Jr., curator of American Art at Harvard University’s Fogg Art Museum. Sloan’s 1944 painting, Negro Soldier, is part of the Fogg’s perma-nent collection.

Sloan, who will be 94 years old in December, was born in New York City and studied art at City College of New York as well as the Institute of Fine Arts at New York University. During his extensive career, he created covers and illustra-tions for publications such as Time, Coronet and Colliers. His poster “Doing All You Can, Brother?,” commissioned for the U.S. Treasury’s war bond campaign, earned him a citation for distinguished service. His works are part of many prestigious collections, including the National Por-trait Gallery, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Brooklyn Museum and Cornell Univer-sity’s Herbert F. Johnson Mu-seum of Art.

Working in the genre tra-dition, Sloan uses everyday themes and scenes to explore the lives and relationships of ordinary people; on the sym-

bolic level, his paintings con-tinue to probe the human soul and its relationship to society.

“We are always honored to recognize the accomplish-ments and careers of our residents,” said Village at Duxbury Executive Director

Carey Alexander. “Like many of the people who live here, Mr. Sloan has had an excep-tionally interesting life. We’re fortunate that he continues to paint, and that he is sharing this newest work with us.”

A new approach at St. John’s

A new and different ap-proach to worship is taking shape at St. John the Evan-gelist Episcopal Church. Be-ginning on Saturday, Oct. 3, we are launching “First Sat-urday.” Scheduled for 5 p.m. on the first Saturday of the month, the new service will be very different from our two services on Sunday morning. Each month, a new and unique worship experience will be offered lasting about an hour. Taking a casual approach and geared for all ages, most of the First Saturday services will take place in the parish hall offering the greatest flexibility in staging and incorporating multimedia into the service. No two services will be alike, but each service will include Holy Eucharist. Music will run the gambit from simple Taize, to folk, and jazz. The liturgy will be diverse, being crafted from sources throughout the worldwide Anglican Commu-nion. Weʼll draw on the rich traditions of the New Zealand Prayer Book, Anglican Church of Canada, Celtic Spirituality, along with other sources. For more information, visit our stjohnsduxbury.org and click on the link for First Saturday.

Where can you meet a Puritan militiaman, a Revolu-tionary War soldier, an early 19th century fiddle player, a Confederate cavalryman and a Union Civil War soldier all in one place? The answer: King Caesar’s Autumnfest on Sun-day, Oct. 4., from 12-4 p.m. Presented by the Duxbury Rural and Historical Society, the fourth annual Autumnfest, is a special day for families and children at the King Cae-

sar House Museum, 120 King Caesar Road in Duxbury.

As in past years, the event will feature food, games, and crafts. Always a special high-light, the clydesdales from Hobby Knoll Farm will be pulling wagons for scenic rides around Powder Point. The Gloucester Hornpipe and Clog Society will be returning to de-light visitors with their eclec-tic blend of traditional Celtic tunes, songs from the British

Isles, sea chanteys and other 19th century maritime music.

A special addition this year will be a “Timeline Living His-tory” consisting of groups of re-enactors from various periods. Groups will include the Salem Trayned Band (17th century pikemen), the Hingham Militia (Revolutionary War), the 22nd Massachusetts Infantry (Civil War), the 35th Virginia Cavalry (Civil War) and several others. You might even see a Roman

centurion or two. Other ongoing activities

around the grounds will in-clude guided tours of the King Caesar House, face painting, pictures with Draco the Drag-on, demonstrations by various traditional artisans and craft-ers, and the always popular Great Pumpkin Hunt.

Due to the large number of families expected, parking for the event will be at the Dux-bury High School. Attendees

will then be brought to the King Caesar House by trol-ley. Admission will be $5 for adults, $3 for children (6-12), under 6 free (maximum of $20 per family). Tickets are on sale at the Nathaniel Winsor, Jr. House or can be purchased the day of the event at the King Caesar House.

drew in $675 million from the movie business last year op-posed to $6 million the year before. Just last week, the stu-dio, which has received all the necessary permits from Plym-outh, obtained a $550 million construction loan – the largest in North America – and the groundbreaking is scheduled for this fall.

But before the sound stag-es are built, the brains behind the studios want to establish relationship with the local communities. To that end, the Rock Educational Coopera-tive, the non-profit wing of the studio, is establishing connec-tions with local schools and holding classes for those who want to get a foot in the door of the movie business.

One of the cooperative team members is John Jordan, a Duxbury resident who say he’s one of a handful of Dux-bury High School graduates working at Plymouth Rock.

Jordan’s family is con-nected with the business (he

is related to “Fever Pitch” co-director Bobby Farrelly, who lives in Duxbury) and turned down an offer to work on Sat-urday Night Live to take the position with Plymouth Rock.

“I always wanted to work in this business,” he said. “I al-ways had a passion for it.”

Jordan and Rock Educa-tional Cooperative Director Kate Ayson are working to es-tablish roots in Plymouth. The cooperative was established about a year ago when the idea for the studio was first made public. Their offices are in the Cordage Park complex in Plymouth until the full studio is complete.

Ayson said establishing the cooperative was a focus for Plymouth Rock’s top ex-ecs David Kirkpatrick and Earl Lestz.

“That’s hugely important to these guys ... that we can get involved in the community,” she said.

The cooperative is al-ready working on creating internships with the Plym-

outh Schools, a program they hope to expand to neighboring towns.

“Here’s an opportunity to be on set two days a week,” said Ayson.

Jordan said he has spoken to Duxbury school officials, who are excited about the pos-sibilities. He said a popular refrain among the Plymouth Rock staff is that the next great director might be in a Massachusetts school, but he or she will never reach his or her goals without the proper equipment or encouragement.

“Arts programs are getting closed every day ... let’s give them an outlet,” Jordan said.

The cooperative has al-ready established a host of educational connections with local institutions, including a Children’s Lab, the “Future of Storytelling” workshop with MIT and the “College on the Lot” program with the New England Institute of Art.

There are also classes, open to the community, in-cluding “How to Produce” with Duxbury resident Kathy Farrelly, which runs from Oct. 19-21.

The goal of the studio is not to simply import movie professionals from the Holly-wood area, but to tap into lo-cals interested in movie mak-ing.

“We want to make it so people living here will be the ones being employed,” said Jordan.

“The studio won’t suc-ceed unless there is a regional work force,” added Ayson. The classes have been ongo-ing since March, and the stu-dio also held a “jobs on the lot” event at Memorial Hall in Plymouth.

Jordan has also kept up the connection he’s made through the Best Buddies program (he started the chapter at Duxbury High School.) At the high school level, Best Buddies pairs people with disabilities with regular education stu-dents, and the company has an

adult offshoot that deals with job placement and vocational training. Plymouth Rock is getting an “employer of the year” award from Best Bud-dies this year.

“It’s monumental,” Jordan said. “It can really change the lives of people I went to high school with.”

Plymouth Rock Studios hopes to be one of a kind in other areas as well. The studio will be built on 240 acres of land that used to be Waverly Oaks Golf Course, behind Plymouth South High School and bordering Route 3. The studio is much larger than any lot in Hollywood, and the founders were excited about being able to design a studio from the ground up, Jordan said. It will be the world’s first “smart” studio, as well as the first green studio. There is a plan to use wind and solar power, as well as recycling

water.There will be a world-

class theatre in the middle of the complex, sound stages, a 22-acre back lot, a hotel and an amenity village. The idea for the village is that movie professionals would be able to buy supplies, get a meal or do some shopping without ever leaving the studio grounds.

The completion date for the studio is set for the fall of 2011. The hope is that Plym-outh Rock Studios will be a part of the fabric of the South Shore for years to come –– and create 2,500 jobs in the process.

“They really like that idea that this is where Amer-ica started,” said Ayson of the company’s founders. “This is going to be very family-friend-ly very open, a very idyllic set-ting.”

move the police chief.Supporters said DeLuca

has been a good chief for the town and did not understand why MacDonald has chosen not to continue his employ-ment. Petition organizer John Canty of Blodgett Avenue asked MacDonald to explain his decision and offer his rea-sons, but MacDonald refused.

“It is not the practice of the Town of Duxbury to discuss employees or employees’ con-tracts in a public forum,” said MacDonald. “My decision on this is final. I am not going to discuss the contract.”

Canty said he felt town government needed to be more transparent and added that he and DeLuca’s supporters would return to the selectmen’s meet-ings weekly until the chief’s contract is renewed.

Steve Peterson of Bolas Road called on selectmen to remove MacDonald.

“Chief DeLuca is a decent man. He’s an honorable man. I am ashamed that this issue has even come up,” said Peterson, a 36-year resident of Duxbury.

“The issue here is that one man doesn’t rule town government. This is offensive to the people in the town. Let’s remove the town manager, because this is wrong.”

Peterson called on se-lectmen to revoke the Town Manager Act and singled out Selectman Jon Witten, saying now was his “charge to step up to the plate” and that voting to get rid of MacDonald would make him a “shoe-in for re-election.”

Selectman Jon Witten said he would not vote to remove the town manager, an action he called “reckless.”

“I’d need grounds to re-move the town manager,” said Witten. “I’m not going to do anything that is illegal or reckless. I don’t believe there is cause to remove the town manager.”

Selectman Christopher Donato said he had reviewed DeLuca’s personal file and could find no reason for letting him go. Donato was upset that DeLuca had not been evalu-ated by MacDonald in three years and called it a disservice

to DeLuca to have unfounded insinuations about him “hang-ing in the air.”

“In good conscience, you must explain your reasons,” Donato told MacDonald. “I don’t feel that no answer is ac-ceptable. If you do not conduct evaluations for three consecu-tive years and then insinuate there are personnel issues, I don’t think the problem is with the chief.”

Donato tried to make a motion to order MacDonald to tell selectmen his reasons but selectmen did not take action on it, although Witten asked MacDonald if he would ex-plain his decision.

“I’m not going to get into it,” said MacDonald. “This is

a slippery slope,” he added. “This is an action under the Town Manager Act and I’m very cautious to discuss any personnel issues in this fo-rum.”

MacDonald explained that the reason there were no per-formance evaluations done on DeLuca in three years was be-cause he was told by the town’s attorney not to do them, as long as DeLuca was involved in forming a manager’s labor

union.DeLuca’s son, Mark, said

the problem was personal.“It’s pretty cut and dry,”

Mark DeLuca Jr. said. “The town manager does not like my father. My father has no infractions. He has heart and guts. He should go somewhere where he is wanted. You’re very cold and pretty rude, if you ask me.”

Bobby Farrelly of Sim-mons Drive said this situation was a negative one for the town.

“We have a lose-lose situ-

ation here,” said Farrelly. “If the chief is run out of town, I predict there will be a ground-swell to run you [MacDonald] out behind him, so we lose two good men and for what? It seems silly.”

Witten said he was still “hopeful” that MacDonald would agree to negotiate with DeLuca. However, he said the selectmen had no power to pressure MacDonald.

“If the selectmen had the vote, the selectmen would have taken the vote by now,” said Witten.

DeLuca said he has not spoken to MacDonald regard-ing his contract, although his attorney has met with select-men and MacDonald in ex-

ecutive session on at least two previous occasions and met again with them at the end of Monday’s meeting.

“I’ll sit down any time,” said DeLuca.

Sullivan said she needed to support the Town Manager Act because one of the rea-sons it had been approved by the people of Duxbury was to avoid situations like this.

“My support for this deci-sion is support for the Town

Manager Act,” said Sullivan. John Britten of Upland

Road said he was a “big fan” of DeLuca but disagreed with what was being said about him at the meeting. He said De-Luca’s supporters were wrong to say that the town had “de-meaned” the police chief.

“The chief was given no-tice of the non-renewal of his contract,” said Britten. “This is no reflection on the chief and the job he has done. The town manager has just chosen another direction. The chief is not being run out of town. His

contract has not been renewed. He was given six months no-tice.”

Britten disagreed that the whole town was upset about the issue. He said that there were 10,000 registered voters in Duxbury and only 500 had signed the petition to save the chief’s job. Britten called that a “small minority.”

Tom Garafolo of Kings-town Way said his wife used to work as a police office officer under DeLuca but quit her job after alleging DeLuca verbally harassed her. She subsequent-ly sued.

Garafolo also said he was asked to sign the petition to keep the chief while at the transfer station recently, and when he refused, the signature collector took down his license plate.

“This department is run by fear and intimidation,” said Garafolo. He said that after his wife, while working for the department, was harrassed for not signing a petition be-ing circulated by DeLuca. “He pulled my wife into his office and berated her with foul lan-guage,” Garafolo said. He spit on the floor in front of her.”

DeLuca, who was in at-tendance at the meeting, inter-rupted Garafolo, screaming “It never happened!”

When Garafolo held up a manila folder saying he had proof of changed reports, De-Luca rose out of his chair in the audience and moved to-ward Garafolo to take his fold-er, saying he couldn’t have po-lice reports in his possession. Garafolo responded that the papers were not police reports but rather documents obtained by his wife’s lawyer.

“It is a report the chief handed out shortly after 9/11,” he said.

Donato said he couldn’t consider this information in the context of the current dis-cussion, because that incident happened after the chief’s con-tract had been renewed.

“I think we have to start from the last contract (with the chief)” said Donato.

Canty said they would con-tinue to gather signatures and would continue to return to the selectmen. “This is really im-portant to a lot of people,” he said.

To Geo or not to GeoBy diCk rothsChild, Clipper Columnist

Just ahead - the delights of clear crisp autumn days, the enchanting palate of fall foliage and the luscious taste of apple cider. Along with these, though, comes the

prospect of humongous heating bills and malevolent thoughts about your insatiable old furnace or boiler.

Before replacing your old clunker with a higher efficiency model, consider a geothermal heating system, which uses no oil or gas, whatsoever.

A geothermal heating system uses the Earth’s fairly constant underground temperature (45º to 58º F) to provide much of the heating and augments it with a heat pump, an electrically powered compressor. Because the system is reversible it can also provide cooling at low energy cost.

Before considering a geothermal system, fix or replace leaky windows and doors and bring wall and roof insulation up to snuff. What you don’t want to do is to shell out money for a high efficiency heating system only to find your heating costs are still high because your house is losing too much heat to the outdoors.

Geothermal systems use the steady temperature of earth as a giant energy savings bank, depositing or withdrawing heat as needed. In the

winter months, the system draws on the higher temperature below ground to do much of the heating and, during the summer months, the system draws on lower earth temperatures to cool a home and pumps unwanted heat underground .

This reversible heat exchange is accomplished through heat transfer loops which transfer heat between the earth and the geothermal system’s heat pump. Horizontal closed loops consist of tubing buried in five-six foot deep trenches. Where horizontal loops are impractical because not enough unobstructed land area is available, vertical loops are used. Holes hundreds of feet deep are drilled to accommodate the heating or cooling load.

There are two types of vertical systems, an open loop in which water is pumped out of a deep ground well, through the heat pump and is returned to the well, and a closed loop system, in which liquid is circulated between the ground and heat pump in tubes and the heat exchange takes place through the tube walls.

There are several types of heat pumps used in geothermal heating systems depending on how the heat and cooling is distributed in the living spaces. A water-to-water heat pump produces hot water which feeds radiators, fin-tube baseboards or radiant floor systems. Water-to water heat pumps are especially efficient when used with radiant floor systems which use relatively low water temperatures (usually under 110º F).

A water-to-air heat pump delivers heated air to ducts which conduct it to registers in rooms. The same equipment can deliver cool air to ducts to air condition these spaces.

A hybrid type of heat pump produces either hot air and hot water or cold air and cold water. While more costly, it works well in homes with hot water radiant heat which also require air conditioning.

Annual heating costs with a geothermal system should be about 40 percent to 50 percent of the cost of heating with a gas or oil fired furnace or boiler. Given variables such as changing fuel and electricity prices, the efficiency of an old boiler or furnace and the amount of insulation in a house, it is almost impossible to be more accurate without knowing specific circumstances.

The substantial annual heating cost savings of a geothermal system has to be weighed against its higher initial cost. This example compares the approximate installed cost of a geothermal heat pump with a high efficiency boiler in a typical well insulated 2500 square foot house with a heat loss of 36,000 BTUs.

The installed cost of the geothermal is $6,000 higher. Based on an annual fuel cost saving of $600 it would take 10 years to offset the original cost difference. After that a $600 yearly saving could be pocketed. However, geothermal could actually be a much better deal than that thanks to a Federal tax credit program known as the Residential Energy Efficient Property Credit which was expanded in February 2009. Under its provisions a 30 percent tax credit can be claimed for spending on a “qualified geothermal heat pump property.” The 30 percent credit is applied directly to the tax owed and the portion of credits above the amount of tax owed can be carried forward. To qualify, the equipment has to use the ground or ground water as a thermal energy source to heat a dwelling or as a thermal energy sink to cool it and it must be Energy Star rated at time of installation.

and forth discussion, reporters were allowed to stay.

The committee, along with Superintendent of Schools Susan Skeiber and Assistant Superintendent Edwin Walsh, met with consultant Robert Evans. Evans, a psycholo-gist, works for a non-profit in Wellsely and works with school committees around the country.

“It’s not true that a good committee is one where every-body sees eye to eye,” Evans said. “It’s how it gets man-aged, and seeing that people disagree in ways that are ulti-mately constructive.”

Committee member Anne Ward said that there has been a divide on the board recently among members who wish to support the superintendent and those who want to be a voice for the citizens.

“These two things don’t have to be mutually exclu-sive,” she said. “How do we get rid of the split and merge these two things.”

John Heindstadt said that he felt there is a perception in the public the committee needs to deal with. “Citizens don’t feel that anybody’s listening to them,” he said. “Most people will accept something, even if they disagree, if you discuss things openly and honestly and respect them.”

Member Maureen Connol-ly said she felt very strongly that the voices of concerned parents should be heard.

“We were elected by the public, for the public,” she said. “Parents are the ones who will advocate most for their children. Nobody else will do that like a parent does.”

However, other members said they have to take the po-sition of what’s best for the district as a whole.

“On any issue, there’s go-ing to be some parents who agree or disagree,” said Karen Wong. “We were elected to have that bird’s eye view.”

Other members said that constant second guessing of the superintendent is tanta-mount to micromanagement and impedes her ability to do her job.

“We have a difficult time, sometimes as a board and sometimes as individual mem-bers, delineating between di-rection and directions,” said Cipolletti.

Ward said that the group needed to learn to disagree and ask questions without un-dercutting the superintendent’s authority.

“I think it’s our obligation to support her, not necessarily agree with her, but to make her successful,” she said. “Where’s the happy medium between split votes ... and be-ing that 5-0 rubber stamp.”

Heindstadt said that the committee could still do that while asking tough questions.

“I want it to work right,

and we have to talk about that. I’m not trying to scuttle the whole program,” he said, re-ferring to the recent decision to change school start times.

Even the facilitator admit-ted that these issues are not small differences.

“Some of the issues that have divided you carry a real wallop,” Evans said.

Although no one present had any delusions about solv-ing all the problems in one night, the board did talk about some possible solutions.

Skeiber said that some concerns from parents go straight to the School Com-mittee rather than following the proper chain of command, starting with teachers and building principals then ad-ministration. She said that if School Committee members could funnel concerns through the board’s chairman, they could either be sent to the ap-propriate staff member or be put on the School Committee agenda, if warranted.

“That would clear up some things that I get involved in that I don’t necessarily think I should,” said Skeiber.

The idea of giving new programs a waiting period was also discussed. Evans said some committee can fall into a trap where, after a certain program or policy is voted on, things keeps getting rehashed over and over again, prevent-ing the committee from mov-ing on to other business.

“Sometimes it’s hard for the minority voting group to accept that, if I had my say but I didn’t convince them, I’ve had my say,” he said. He said some districts will prohibit a matter from being discussed until three months or so after the original vote –– although he stressed that it is important to allow a controversial pro-gram to be revisited. This idea seemed to resonate with all committee members.

All School Committee members agreed, however, that the back and forth over a handful of issues –– such as the decision to change the school start times –– is detracting from larger educational issues such as class size, budget or override prospects, 21st cen-tury education, MCAS tests and the quality of teachers.

The committee also agreed that despite the differences in philosophy, all members want Duxbury schools to be suc-cessful.

“We all want the best for the kids,” said Cipolletti. “The question is, how can we sup-port the success and how can we measure the success?”

DA: School councils didn’t post meetings

By Justin GraeBer, Clipper editor [email protected]

The meeting on Wednesday was not the Duxbury School District’s first brush with an open meeting law violation this year.

According to a letter sent on Aug. 19 from Plymouth Country Assistant District Attorney Mary Lee to Town Coun-sel Robert Troy, the Alden Elementary School and Duxbury Middle School councils were not posting their meetings at Town Hall in accordance with the law.

“Both principals acknowledge the majority of the 2008-2009 meetings of their School Councils were not posted with the Town Clerk, as required by the Open Meeting Law,” Lee wrote in the letter.

She went on to say that there were “mitigating factors,” as the errors were unintentional, the meetings times and minutes had been posted on the Internet, and as soon as the error was discovered both school councils immediately began posting the meetings with the Town Clerk.

“Both councils have demonstrated an intent to comply with the law in the 2009-2010 academic year,” Lee wrote.

Both school councils were required by the District Attor-ney to read the letter out loud at a public meeting.

Maura Tighe, founder of Boston based Maura Tighe Casting, will be partnering with South Shore Conserva-tory this fall to offer Film Act-ing classes for South Shore teens. Her classes will be part of the Conservatory’s new TEMPO Program, which of-fers a number of tracks in the popular performing arts.

Ms. Tighe will be offer-ing a series of classes for per-formers who want to develop their native acting skills, or transfer acting skills and tech-niques from the stage to the camera. The classes are also appropriate for performers who wish to pursue television or film work. Students work with both scripted and im-provisational material to gain an understanding of how film acting differs from stage act-ing, and how to create realis-tic characters for the camera. Lead instructor Maura Tighe is a graduate of Emerson where she majored in theater directing, and is currently pur-suing her master’s degree at Harvard University.

Opening Night of the Plymouth Philhar-monic Orchestra

heralds the start of their 94th season with an All-Russian program. Steven Karidoya-nes conducts Rachmaninoff’s magnificent Second Sympho-ny and Tchaikovsky’s beauti-ful Violin Concerto. The guest artist is virtuoso soloist James Buswell. As is the custom for Opening Night, the concert be-gins with the National Anthem, this season accompanied by a color guard from Plymouth’s American Legion Post 40, led by Sergeant Philip Ryan. This celebratory event takes place in Plymouth’s Memorial Hall on Saturday evening, Oct. 3. The concert begins at 8 p.m. A pre-concert talk by Conductor Karidoyanes begins at 7 p.m. Tickets are now on sale. Me-morial Hall is fully accessible.

American violinist James Buswell enjoys a distinguished career as concerto soloist, recit-alist, chamber musician, con-ductor, lecturer and educator. Since his solo debut with the New York Philharmonic at the age of seven, he has appeared with most of the major orches-tras in the U.S. and abroad and

also with conductors such as Leonard Bernstein, George Szell, William Steinberg, Leonard Slatkin, Sir Malcolm Sargent, Zubin Mehta, Andre Previn, Erich Leinsdorf, Seiji Ozawa and Michael Tilson Thomas. Formerly a member of the Chamber Music Soci-ety of Lincoln Center, Buswell appears frequently as a guest artist at Lincoln Center and at other music festivals such as those in Santa Fe, Marl-boro and Sarasota as well as events in Italy and Australia. He and his wife, cellist Carol Ou, reside in Boston where he is Professor of Violin at New England Conservatory and Artist-in-Residence at Gordon College.

The concert Orchestra Sponsor is Tech-Etch. The me-dia sponsor is The Patriot Led-ger. Additional promotional support provided by WGBH 89.7 FM. The 94th Season of the Plymouth Philharmonic Orchestra is funded in part by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency.

A meeting that’s open but not?The School Committee came dangerously close to

violating the state’s Open Meeting Law Wednesday as they asked reporters to leave a workshop meeting

at the high school.Saying “the meeting is open, but we’d rather you not be

here” is the same as saying the meeting is closed. It made the signs in the high school leading to the meeting room, and all the talk at the previous School Committee meeting about this gathering being open to the public, seem disingenuous. The idea that the committee would even consider canceling the meeting rather than complying with the Open Meeting Law is ludicrous and seemed spiteful.

The agenda of the meeting was to discuss how the Committee could better facilitate their meetings despite some philosophical differences between board members on the role of a school committee member.

It’s an interesting dynamic, and it’s always going to be changing depending on the composition of the committee. The relationship between the School Committee is like the selectmen and the town manager. The selectmen shouldn’t be micromanaging Richard MacDonald on every personnel or budget decision. But asking tough questions shouldn’t be met with lectures about “not being a team player,” either.

There were some valid points made at the meeting. If a School Committee member has a concern, it’s best to put it on the agenda, rather that introducing it on the meeting floor, so the other members and the administration don’t feel ambushed.

But that’s all the more reason the public had a right to see the discussion, so they could understand the many complex issues the committee struggles with and how hard members are working to overcome them.

Toward the beginning of the meeting Anne Ward said that the desire to support the superintendent and the desire to speak for the people shouldn’t be mutually exclusive. That’s true. But questioning the superintendent, pushing her for more information or asking her to reconsider something isn’t the same as not supporting her. One of the most interesting things about Wednesday’s meeting was when the discussion veered towards some of the more general educational goals that all agreed don’t get discussed enough at the School Committee meetings. It was obvious from the thoughtful, insightful comments from every corner of the table that the committee is composed of five people who truly want what is best for the students, teachers and staff of the district –– even if they don’t always see eye-to-eye. Instead of worrying about the fallacy of “presenting a united front,” the differences of opinion should be celebrated. The Duxbury Public Schools as a whole are better for it.

–– J. Graeber

Chief Mark Deluca demonstrated clear-ly at Monday night’s

Selectman’s meeting why his contract should not be renewed in November. In a room full of supporters, one brave soul got up and related how he felt intimidated this weekend at the Transfer Station when he refused to sign a petition in support of the chief. After giv-ing his reasons for not signing the petition, he noticed that the petition-seeker wrote down his license plate number. He then went on to relate knowledge of instances of intimidation and fear by the chief against his wife when she was employed at the police department sev-eral years ago. Immediately the chief got up and said that it was all untrue and walked up to the speaker and started arguing

with him in his face – on cam-era no less. This type of out-rageous intimidation cannot be tolerated by our police chief.

Under our town manager form of government, the town manager has the sole author-ity to renew the police chief’s contract. The Board of Select-man certainly can express their opinion, but cannot and should not interfere, with the town manager’s decision. The town manager must have the right to select a management team that will work closely with him and other department heads to ad-vance the interests of the town. If the town manager believes that the chief is not on his team, then the town manager has the right to make a change in per-sonnel.

Accusations by the public that the town manager has not

established cause for dismissal are incorrect. The only time that the town manager must give cause is if he were termi-nating the contract before it ex-pired. A non-renewal is not the same as a termination, no mat-ter what people may argue. If the town manager’s sole reason is that he cannot work with the chief any more, then that is all the reason he needs to give.

The chief has done some wonderful things in his time in Duxbury that many people, including me, certainly recog-nize. But apparently the time has come that the town man-ager and chief cannot work as a team anymore. If that is the case, then I support the town manager’s right to change his police chief.

In the Clipper’s other-wise excellent report on the “dig” at King Caesar

House, there is a partial error in the paragraph that begins and ends, “There are few original items in the King Caesar House ... Most of the furniture and de-cor are reproductions.”

It is true, there are few items in King Caesar’s house that actually belonged to him - a rocking chair, a watch, pieces of jewelry, a silver pitcher, a trunk, leather boxes among them. However, the house is furnished but with historically valuable pieces that belonged to his contemporaries; ship build-ing families such as the Drews, Winsors and Spragues.

Many of these furnishings

came directly from members of those and other local families over many decades. And then in 1998 a major bequest of over 200 Duxbury-related items from Rosamund Gifford made it possible to furnish the King Caesar House with period-per-fect objects, and put a number of Winsor family pieces in the Nathaniel Winsor Jr. House.

Following that stunning gift, a Winsor family dining table was given to the Society, which after much conservation replaced the last “reproduction” piece at KCH. Except for a Paine’s Furniture arm chair that was part of the Sarah Wingate Taylor estate. It now sits qui-etly, hoping not to be noticed, in the West or best Parlor.

The house contains an un-surpassed collection of original portraits of Duxbury historical figures as well as a collection of original paintings of Duxbury ships. The walls on which they hang have been repainted since Ezra Weston’s time, and the window and bed hangings have been reproduced. So much for the decor.

Readers of the Clipper who have not seen this wonderful collection in Duxbury’s most stately of historic houses are urged to pay it a visit.

Please don’t be fooled. The present debate is not about the unin-

sured or the high cost of medi-cal care, it’s all about who pays and how.

Although many of you may feel the high cost of your healthcare premiums is the issue. That’s only part of it. Many of you contribute to the cost of your insurance, but oth-ers are required to pay the rest. These additional payments ap-pear in many strange and hid-den places. In Duxbury, close to 25 percent of your real estate taxes go to subsidize the insur-ance and pension costs of our town (including school) em-ployees. A portion of the state

taxes you pay goes to subsidize the healthcare costs of state em-ployees (including your legisla-tors). Likewise, a portion of the federal taxes goes to subsidize all federal employees (includ-ing Congress). When you pur-chase a new car, close to $2,000 or more goes to subsidize the cost off healthcare for the auto workers. In fact, everything you buy contains some portion of the cost to subsidize the cost of someone’s health care (includ-ing all those uninsured)

Now comes the public payment option. Just remem-ber, the Social Security Trust Funds contains little cash. It’s full of IOUs from Congress for all they’ve borrowed for pork,

bailouts and the like. Likewise, there’s little cash in the High-way Trust Fund. It, too, is full of IOUs. Why do you think our roads and bridges are in such horrible repair. Do you really believe Congress would leave a new Medical Trust Fund alone?

Watch this debate very closely. You may be surprised where they hide the new costs for this “Reform.” Didn’t they propose the raise the tolls on the Turnpike to support heath-care costs? Yes, and they also proposed a tax on soda.

Remember, it’s all about who pays and how.

Dear friends and neighbors: In these challenging eco-

nomic times, what is your li-brary worth to you? How many times in the past year did you stop by the Duxbury Free Li-brary to check out a book or a DVD? Maybe you attended a free lecture or one of the many children’s events? Who pays for these services? It is funds from the Friends of the Dux-bury Free Library, the State of Massachusetts, and the town of Duxbury that support this valu-able resource.

Take a moment to consider what the Friends of the Dux-bury Free Library contributed last year because of donations made by residents like you:

• $14,000 for new books, CDs, DVDs

• $4,000 for the children’s summer reading program

• $2,000 for the young adult summer program

Your generous donation is crucial to the future success of our library. Without your dona-tion, the Friends will not have the funds needed to supplement the Duxbury Free Library’s material budget for new books, CDs and DVDs. Material ex-penditure is a crucial compo-nent in the Massachusetts ac-creditation process. Without state accreditation our library’s patrons would be prohibited from participating in interli-brary loans. In 2009, Duxbury

residents enjoyed borrowing over 30,000 items from other towns in the Old Colony Li-brary Network. Imagine what it would cost to purchase these thousands of books, CDs and DVDs.

Over the last five years we have seen a steady increase in library usage. Year after year, our library continues to add to the number of dynamic pro-grams for children, teens and adults — 450 such programs in 2009. Maybe someone in your household attended one? Did your visit to the library result in one of the 260,000 loan trans-actions the library processed last year?

We know that 2010 prom-ises to be another challenging

budget year for Duxbury and its residents. We know that you will be asked by many lo-cal organizations to help fill the gap. But consider this: How does the Duxbury Free Library impact you and your family’s life? Can you think of another town resource that improves the quality of life for so many people? Please help support our library and become a friend today. Membership forms are available at the library’s circu-lation desk. Your gift is deeply appreciated, especially in these trying economic times.

On behalf of Chil-dren without Bor-ders, we would

like to thank so many Duxbury residents in supporting such a wonderful cause by attend-ing the first annual “Barefoot for Borders” party on Sept. 5. We were given one of the most beautiful nights of the summer in a picturesque setting with an incredible group of over 250 people, which made for not only a fun but a very successful evening. The party raised over $33,000 for Children Without Borders, which is the biggest donation for the foundation to

date. We could not have had the

success that we did without the help and donations from all of our local businesses. We would particularly like to thank Mark Collins, Duxbury Wine and Spirits, Foodie’s, Depot Street, Christina’s Restaurant, Casey’s Wine and Spirits, Deni Johnson and all of our volunteers. We look forward to seeing you all next year at the second annual “Barefoot for Borders.”

Quote displayed arrogance

If Ms. Blatterman’s quoted statement is even partially ac-curate, I am left with the sense that she is threatening the voters of Duxbury. No matter how the citizens vote, the

committee will be back next year and presumably in the years that follow until we vote her way because “it’s the right thing to do.” What arrogance! The right thing to do is a matter of public opinion; Ms. Blatterman seems to have forgotten who she serves. Perhaps she should reconsider her continued service on the com-mittee.

Please watch your speed!

As the school year begins and the fall pace quickens, we

want to remind people that the speed limit on Harrison Street is 30 miles per hour. We under-stand our road is a cut through for many people, but please re-member it is our neighborhood. All of us have witnessed cars and trucks speeding in both directions as they approach the hill on Harrison Street. A vehicle would not be able to stop in time to prevent hitting a child running or on a bike coming out of any of our drive-ways. Each time we pull out of our driveways, we are taking

our lives in our hands as cars come flying by from both di-rections. As you are racing to get to wherever you are going, think about this fact: there are 29 children between the ages of 1½ and 17 who reside in the homes at the Washington Street end of Harrison Street, not to mention the significant num-ber of grandchildren who visit regularly. Please slow down! No driver should have to bear the weight of a tragedy easily prevented by slowing down.

Two empty shells were found in a bathroom at Dux-bury Middle School Thursday, but Superintendent of Schools Susan Skeiber said police de-termined it wasn’t a serious safety issue because the rounds weren’t live. Last Friday, stu-dents were held past dismissal time as police searched the school in the wake of the dis-covery of a live round of am-

munition.Skeiber said some of the

bathrooms were locked and police were contacted, but it was determined that there was no risk to the students and the building was not locked down.

“They felt it was not a safety issue at all,” she said.

Parents were notified of the latest incidents by a Connect-ED call an a letter sent home with students, Skeiber said.

More shells found at middle school, Police say it’s not a safety issue

Back to school means so much to so many, including me. The school year is also “The

Season” for arts and entertainment. The Plymouth Philharmonic opens their 2009-2010 season this Saturday, Oct. 3 at 8 p.m. Call 508-746-8008 for ticket information, or find them on line at plymouthphil.org. I’ll review their performance next week, but you can expect this concert to be a riveting presentation of Russian symphonic music, Tchaikovsky’s Violin

Concerto (James Buswell, violin), and Rachmaninoff’s Symphony No.2 in E minor.

But here’s the back-to-school part: your homework is to attend either the pre-concert soirée at the Pilgrim Hall

Museum on Court Street from 6-7:30 p.m., or Steven Karidoyanes’ pre-concert talk at Memorial Hall at 7 p.m. Either way, you’ll learn wonderful things about the concert. Steven brings stories about the composers, the music, and the performance that deepens my understanding of the music. I wouldn’t miss it. On the other hand, the soirée opens a window into the life of the patron of the arts, and puts a little more jingle in the Phil’s pocket.

They don’t have the fire-power of Bridgewater-Rayn-ham or Plymouth North, but the Quincy Presidents were just what the Dragons needed on Friday night in Duxbury, as they fell to the home team, 33-6.

The special teams play of senior captain Matt Savard and the passing and running of sophomore QB Matt O’Keefe told the story for Duxbury, as the team broke out of its scor-ing slump in winning its first game of the season.

Coming off one of the toughest outings of his young varsity career against Plym-outh North, O’Keefe went 10 of 14 for 140 yards and two TDs, while also scoring a TD from one yard out late in the first half to lead his team to a 20-6 lead at halftime.

“Matt is doing a nice job, but he’s still making some mis-takes,” said Coach Dave Maim-aron. “He’s progressing and is heading in the right direction like the rest of the team.”

Meanwhile, Savard showed the explosiveness he brings to the team that was missing in the first two games after he was hampered by a concussion in the preseason. With 37 sec-onds left in the first quarter, the senior receiver grabbed a short punt on the bounce and bolted down the left sideline to score on a 32-yard punt return. Ben Startzell nailed the extra point to give the Dragons a 7-0 lead.

Defensive back Rob Kates recovered a loose ball on the next series, giving Duxbury great field position at the 23 yard line.

On the first play of the drive, O’Keefe dropped back and spotted Matt Hallisey run-ning a slant from left to right. He hit the junior receiver in stride as he turned upfield, splitting the President’s defen-sive backs and running into the end zone for a 23-yard TD pass. Startzell’s PAT was wide right and the Dragons lead stood at 13-0 with 9:08 left in the half.

With less than five minutes to go in the half, the Duxbury defense forced a Quincy punt after they moved the ball out to midfield. Savard went back to field it and it bounced off his hands, rolling through the grasp of a half dozen players

before coming to a stop at the Duxbury one-yard line with Quincy in possession.

It took junior Rod News-ome just one play to get the Presidents back in the ball game, as the Duxbury lead shrunk to 13-6 with 3:52 left in the half.

The next series almost proved disastrous for the Drag-ons, as they turned the ball over on an O’Keefe fumble at the Quincy 44-yard line.

A stellar defensive effort by the Dragons forced another Quincy punt that was fielded by Savard on his own 15-yard line. He sprinted to his left and turned his defenders, racing up the left sideline for 80 yards before being taken down on the Quincy 5-yard line. Three plays later O’Keefe was into the end zone and the hosts went into

the locker room in the lead.The Dragons came out for

the second half and struck im-mediately with a 63-yard drive, culminating in a spectacular TD grab of 35 yards by Savard, as he beat senior captain Ken Nguyen down the left sideline to make it 27-6 after Startzell’s PAT.

Quincy was now forced to go to the air, and C.J. Cote and Aaron Kramer made life uncomfortable for Peterson, as consecutive sacks by the duo forced another punt to the Dux-bury 40 yard line.

Junior Kane Haffey took over at QB and made his presence felt right away, en-gineering a 60-yard penalty-aided drive that ended when he scored on a 23-yard keeper to make it 33-6.

continued from page oneMaimaron was able to unload his bench in the victory, with everyone seeing game action.

Sophomore Henry Buo-nagurio did an admirable job once again filling in for injured senior captain Bobby Murphy, as he rushed for 50 yards on nine carries, while Savard hauled in five passes for 75 yards.

On the defensive side of the ball, sophomore safety James Burke continues to be a shin-ing light for the Dragons, as he was credited with 11 tackles on the night. Junior linebacker

Wes Dow also had a big eve-ning with seven tackles, while sophomore safety Reilly Na-ton and senior linebacker John McGeady racked up six tackles each.

“We had to change our di-rection and get back on track,” said Maimaron. “I think this got us in the direction we want to go.”

On Friday night the Drag-ons will take on Hanover High School, with the game being played at Whitman-Hanson at 7 p.m.

continued from page oneschool – in spirit – at the Duxbury Senior Center. What do

I mean by “in spirit?” I mean that you can have all the learning of a college-level course, with none of the anxiety and none of the night-time commuting into Boston or Cambridge. I talked to Director Joanne Moore. Some of the fall classes are filled, but three still have openings. Meanwhile, the Steppin’ Out Program offers seniors a chance to share cultural events with friends, or to make new friends.

First the Steppin’ Out. Tickets aren’t cheap, but the program includes bus transportation from the Senior Center. (Call 781-934-5774, ext. 102 to sign up. Tickets are limited by the size of the bus.) Boston Ballet’s production of “Giselle” will show you what “ballet blanc” is all about (a white ballet, named for the color of the tutus on the corps de ballet.) For the matinee show on Saturday, Oct. 10 the bus leaves at 12:30 p.m. Tickets are $72.

Sunday, Nov. 8 brings Bizet’s “Carmen” to the Boston Lyric Opera. Leave Duxbury at 1:30 p.m; tickets are $90 each. Carmen and Giselle both explore the tragic side of a woman scorned, and both are classic works in Boston’s repertoire. Check the Senior Center Web site for more shows. Just click the link from the town’s Web site, or search for Duxbury Senior Center on Google.

The Life-long Learning program still has openings in three Classes. Reading Shakespeare’s Plays runs for six weeks beginning on Monday, Oct. 19 at 11 a.m. Carrie Meier will run the group, which will read “Richard II.” The class will read each scene and follow with discussion. Pick up your copy of the play at Westwinds Bookshop.

Charlie Cassara teaches “The Evolution of Jazz Music” Friday mornings at 10 a.m. beginning this Friday, Oct. 2. Charlie is a Professor at Berklee College of Music, and will cover jazz history from its roots, through Ragtime, Dixieland and Swing all the way to today’s jazz music, both vocal and instrumental.

Due to a schedule shift, State Representative Daniel Webster’s class is still open, entitled “Political Pros and Cons: Voting State Politics,” now set to begin this Friday, Oct. 2 at 9 a.m. The class description is intriguing: “Illegal immigrants or undocumented guests? Pension for public employees-deserved or boondoggle? Swim toward economic recovery— or bail out the sinking boat? Where do you stand? After hearing and discussing the facts on these and other hot topics, will your final vote be swayed? You might be surprised.”

Call the Senior Center soon to sign up the six to eight week classes, all cost $25. Space may be limited, and they’re starting soon.

Dragons’ DenSports Editor Mike Halloran • [email protected]

By mike Halloran sports editor [email protected]

If Coach Emerson Cole-man was worried about his team being in sync at the start of the season, his players showed him this past week he has no need to worry.

Outscoring their oppo-nents 15-3 in victories over Whitman-Hanson, North

Quincy, and Bishop Fenwick, the Lady Dragons (4-1) have now served notice they are in-tent on recapturing their Divi-sion II state crown.

After being shutout in the season opener against Silver Lake, Boston Globe Player of The Year Caitlin Burke has been on a tear, scoring 11 goals in the past four games, including four in a 4-1 win over Whitman-Hanson and All-American Sam Mewis.

After Mewis put her team ahead in the first four minutes of the game with a direct kick from outside the box, Duxbury got to work.

“We didn’t just hang our heads. We just kept working and battled back for a 2-1 lead at the half,” said Coleman.

Burke struck for both first-half goals, and put the game

away in the second half with two more, while her teammates and sophomore Madi Lawson in particular kept Mewis from doing any further damage.

Junior Melissa Gavin may be playing in the shadow of Burke, but she is proving to be just as crucial to the team’s success, as she assisted on three of Burke’s goals with Emily Gallagher being cred-ited with the other.

Burke continued her torrid scoring pace on Thursday, as she notched three more goals in a 5-1 Patriot League win over North Quincy, with Law-son and Gallagher also getting in the scorebook.

In what Coleman called “not one of our prettiest games,” the Lady Dragons were too much for the Red Raiders and led by 5-0 at half-

time.“We jumped out right

away and everyone got a chance to play,” said the Dux-bury coach.

On Saturday afternoon, Coleman’s team traveled north to play Bishop Fenwick, a solid Division II team in Pea-body.

Having scouted the Cru-saders in their 2-2 tie with Cardinal Spellman earlier in the week, Coleman had his mind set on blanketing their star with Lawson, who proved she can stay with just about anyone on the soccer field.

“We are a very good turf team because team speed is our strength,” said the second-year Duxbury coach.

Obviously Fenwick’s turf field played right into the Lady Dragons’ strength, as Duxbury

scored four goals in a four-minute span and left the field at halftime with a 5-0 lead.

Goals by Katie Finocchi-aro, Burke (2), and Gavin (2) accounted for the scoring, with Gavin also assisting on both Burke goals, as well as nailing a direct kick from 35 yards out to highlight the onslaught.

“We were just rolling in the first half and things kind of tapered off in the second.”

The game may have slowed down, but it didn’t stop Law-son from getting some offense of her own, as she scored the final goal in a 6-1 win over the hosts.

It’s a slow week for the team, as they traveled to Hing-ham yesterday afternoon for their only game of the week.

Two streaks came to an end last Tuesday in Duxbury when the boys’ soccer team gave up its first goal of the season and had its three-game winning streak broken in a 1-1 tie with Whitman-Hanson.

The Dragons opened quickly, with Morgan Dwinell dribbling up the middle on the kickoff and sliding a pass on the ground to Daniel Sangster, who made a diagonal run to-wards goal.

Sangster sprinted in with his marker and fired a low, hard, left-footed blast past the Panther goalie in the first 30 seconds for a 1-0 lead.

Duxbury continued its as-sault in the Whitman-Hanson end, as Dwinell kept up his attacks and had his own shot denied two minutes later.

Sangster also created some scoring bids, as he drifted back into midfield and chipped a ball over the W-H defense for the speedy Greg Loreaux to run onto. The senior captain had another chance for his sec-ond of the game, but his volley from the top of the box was turned aside for a corner.

W-H regained its compo-sure and started to gain some midfield advantage. At the 26th minute, the Dragons were whistled for a foul and the Pan-thers were given a direct kick about 22 yards away from the Duxbury goal. The Dragons’ defensive wall blocked the kick, with the rebound falling to a Panther player who took a dipping right-footed shot. Duxbury goalkeeper Max Cote was screened, but nearly had a hand on the ball as he watched it get by him to tie the score.

Dwinell and Sangster con-tinued to apply pressure on the Panther defense with the help of the Duxbury midfield led by Tommy Drummy, Jus-tin McElduff, Eric Larson and Dwinell, who continued their solid possession as the half ended 1-1.

Duxbury continued to pos-sess the ball in the second half, but couldn’t get it deep into the W-H zone. The best chance was a ball from Sangster, who laid off a quick give-and-go that sent Drummy in on the Panther net. Drummy slid for the ball as the W-H goalie dove and smothered the ball and both players collided.

The match became more physical as the half progressed, with Duxbury defender Pat Charland getting yellow card-ed, followed minutes later by a W-H player who was also booked.

The Dragons pressed, but couldn’t find the back of the net and had to settle for a 1-1

tie.The third streak of the

week ended for the Drag-ons on Thursday afternoon in Duxbury when they knocked off North Quincy, 4-0.

After scoring just one goal in each of their previous four games, Coach Tocci’s troops exploded for four in a good tune-up for Tuesday night’s battle with Hingham.

Midway through the first half the trio of Drummy, Ryan Piesco and Sangster combined for what proved to be the win-ning goal, as Drummy’s pass found Piesco, who crossed the ball to the back post where Sangster jumped and scored on a first-time left-footed vol-ley. Sangster was shaken up on the play, but returned soon after.

With less than 10 minutes left in the half, Dwinell took a wide ball and dribbled to the goal line, sending a left-footed centering pass on the ground to the top of the goal box where Sangster finished with a right-footed shot for a 2-0 lead.

Just three minutes later a Red Raider clear went to se-nior back Pat Charland, who played it to Dwinell on the left wing and watched as he drib-bled through two defenders and scored on a right-footed shot for a 3-0 halftime lead.

Loreaux put the game away for good in the first five minutes of the second half, as Sangster collected the ball in midfield and passed it on the ground between a pair of NQ

defenders. Loreaux ran onto the ball with a nice diagonal inside run and finished with an outside off the right foot.

The visitors had only two shots on the Duxbury goal in the first half, as a solid senior defense of Charland, Steve Blout, David Hemingway and Mark Brady kept possession

and moved the ball well. Se-nior Max Cote played most of the game in goal and got the shutout, while senior goal-keeper Tommy Kazanowski replaced Cote and finished the game.

It seems no matter who Coach Jack Stoddard throws out there, his Duxbury boys’ golf team is having very little trouble waltzing through its fall schedule.

Starting the week with an impressive 233-264 win over nemesis Hingham, the Drag-ons (7-1) followed that up by taking care of Rockland, 240-261, while running their win streak to seven matches.

While the depth on the Duxbury roster makes every

opposing coach jealous, the one constant for Stoddard has been the play of his junior son, Jonathan. The younger Stod-dard blitzed the DYC course on Tuesday by firing a round of 33 that included five birdies and a trio of pars.

It seems like the scor-ers finishing behind Stoddard change every match, but in the win over the Harbormen it was James Magner (38/a bird/5 pars) and Kevin Kuckuk (38/6 pars) who did most of the dam-age.

Billy Curley (40/a bird/ 5 pars) and freshman Nick Drago (41/a bird/4 pars) were also part of a five-man Dux-bury contingent that bested Hingham’s best rounds of the day (42) by Andrew Sypek and Nick Wood.

Stephan Krall also had his round of 43 added to the final Duxbury total.

Two days later at the DYC course the Dragons had little trouble with Rockland, as Stoddard ( a birdie/6 pars) was low man again with a score of 37, while Curtis Owen (a birdie/5 pars) came in with a round of 38.

Freshman Nick Drago con-tinued his impressive rookie season with a 40 that included a birdie and a par.

Senior Zach Benoit saw his first varsity action of the season and fired two birdies in his round of 42, while junior Jack Goldberg and sophomore Trevor Barrington came in with rounds of 44.

The Dragons hit the road yesterday to play Hanover, and will travel to Middleboro today and Quincy tomorrow as they try to keep their win streak intact.

Not even divine interven-tion could keep the Lady Drag-ons from seeing their winning streak end at five games after a 3-2 loss to Bishop Fenwick on Saturday afternoon in Dux-bury.

Facing the Crusaders in non-league action, Duxbury watched the visitors rally from a 1-0 first-half deficit to win their third game in a row with 12 minutes left in the game.

The Crusaders are a Divi-sion I team that plays on turf: a factor that may have caught Duxbury off guard after easily

walking through its five-game winning streak.

“We should be stepping it up now because we need to know how much faster the game is on our turf,” said Coach Pam Manley.

With many players delayed by the morning’s confirmation ceremony, Manley was worried that her team’s energy level might not be there in the first half.

“There was something lacking in our energy in the

first half, but I could tell the girls wanted it badly,” said the coach.

Whatever the coach thought she saw didn’t seem to matter to sophomore Cory Connolly, who banged home a rebound of a Mimi Smith shot just seven minutes into the game for a 1-0 Duxbury lead.

Fenwick would tie it up later in the half, as both teams went to the sidelines for the in-termission.

It didn’t take long for the

visitors to grab the lead when Duxbury goalie Sophie Fitz-patrick was whistled for cov-ering up the ball, resulting in a penalty shot. Fitzpatrick man-aged to get a piece of the ball on the shot, but her momentum pushed it into the corner of the net for a 2-1 Fenwick lead.

Sophomore forward Grace Nissi would get her team back in the game when she tied the score at 2-2 twelve minutes into the half.

The Crusaders kept up the pressure midway through the second half and tested Fitzpat-rick repeatedly, garnering six straight corners and setting up the game-winner for Elizabeth Sears with 12 minutes showing on the clock.

“That’s just about the time I give the starters a break, but Keri Gould was doing such a great job on defense I couldn’t get her out of there,” said Man-ley. “ I think the whole defense was just getting worn out.”

While Manley did see her team pick up its game in the second half, momentum had shifted to the visitors and get-

ting it back was difficult.“Our energy level rose in

the second half, but it was play-ing at their game. They contin-ued to keep the ball on the right side and we just couldn’t swing the ball across the field or get it to the open spots.”

The loss came on the heels of Duxbury’s big Patriot League win (2-0) in Hingham on Wednesday.

Goals by junior midfielder Siobhan McCarthy and senior forward Chandler Vuilliemier were all Duxbury would need, as they controlled play and lim-ited the Harborwomen to six shots on Fitzpatrick.

“Because our defense is playing so solidly, we had a lot of strong hits today and some big runs by Mimi Smith and Lila Haffey that allowed us to put pressure on their net,” said Manley.

After hosting Middleboro Tuesday night, the Lady Drag-ons will face their toughest test of the Patriot League season when they travel to Hanover on Thursday afternoon to take on the Indians at 4 p.m.

The DHS freshman foot-ball team continued its unbeat-en streak with a 21-6 victory over the Quincy Presidents on Thursday afternoon.

It didn’t take long for the Dragons to get rolling, as QB John Geary found receiver Joe Guilfoile for a 24-yard gain.

The over-the-shoulder grab and run brought the Dragons inside the Presidents one-yard line.

Calling his own number, Geary carried the ball into the end zone behind the blocking of Bill Weld.

After a strong defensive

series that featured big hits by linebacker CJ LoConte and a pass deflection by Robert Ko-sharek, the Dragons got the ball again.

A couple of rare miscues left the Dragons with a third and 24 from their own 17-yard line. Jon Hurvitz took the pitch from Geary and raced around right end, picking up key blocks from Henry Narlee and Marshall McCarthy. Hurvitz cut left, broke two tackles and jumped over a third would-be tackler before racing 83 yards into the end zone.

The Dragon defense stifled the Presidents all game, led by the linebacking crew of Lo-

Conte, McCarthy, Narlee and Cody Dormandy. Winston Schromm and his defensive linemates Owen Grey, Mark Trudeau, George Ward and James Mattes also contributed with timely tackles.

Brendan Fitzgerald ran the ball well and Colin Johnson had excellent stops at corner-back for the well-balanced and deep Dragon squad.

Geary was accurate all day, as he hit Kyle Howard and Chris Arthurs for long gains that set up McCarthy’s 10-yard bulldozing run off left tackle for the Dragons’ final score.
