The main function room at the Senior Center was lined with photographs from the Zabuli

School for Girls as Razia Jan returned to Duxbury to update residents and donors on the school’s progress. The smiling fac-es of the young women were reminders of the good Duxbury natives have done for students halfway around the world.

The Zabuli School is a girls’ school in the village of Deh Subz, near Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan. It was built in 2008 with money raised by the Dux-bury Rotary Club and many others. At the heart of the project was Razia Jan, an Afghan native who owned a tailor shop

Girl power, Afghan styleRazia Jan chats with residents at Sunday’s tea at the Senior Center, titled “Girl Power, Afghan Style.” Jan gave an update on the Zabuli School for Girls in Afghanistan and talked about her work in that country.

People look over a variety of Afghan goods and craft items available for sale at Sunday’s talk.

Duxbury conjures up im-ages of seafood, rolling sand dunes and sailing on the bay. But there is also a thriving arts community in town, from the art galleries of the Art Com-plex Museum to the strains of music wafting from the South Shore Conservatory’s Ellison Center.

Some of those artistic en-deavors are funded by a town organization, the Duxbury Cultural Council. The Dux-bury group is affiliated with

the Massachusetts Cultural Council, which gives money to cities and towns to dis-tribute through local cultural councils, or LCCs, in the form of grants.

Artists and other groups apply for the grants, and the local council distributes the money accordingly. $3,870 is available for Duxbury to dis-tribute in fiscal year 2011, ac-cording to the Massachusetts Culture Council Web site.

speCial to the Clipper

Last weekend the members of Sus-tainable Duxbury

took part in the 350.0rg Glob-al Work Day by helping the Department of Public Works plant four linden and maple trees that they donated to the Tarkiln Community Center. These trees will be a welcome addition to the farmers mar-ket held at the center, and will provide shade while taking carbon out of the air for years to come. By taking part in this global work day Sustainable

Duxbury joined over 7,700 other work parties being held in 188 countries around the globe where people were roll-ing up their sleeves and put-ting their money and efforts into fighting global warming. The 10/10/10 Global Work Day gave millions of people the opportunity to say to poli-ticians “we are getting to work to stop global warming, how about you?” Planting trees is one small way one can work to bring atmospheric carbon back down to 350 parts per million (ppm). This is the number agreed upon at last

year’s global summit in Co-penhagen as the upper limit at which mankind can preserve a planet similar to the one on which civilization developed, and to which life on earth has adapted. Today that number is 390 ppm and climbing. For more information please visit 350.org or sustainabledux-bury.org

that while there is some lee-way give to the local councils, Duxbury’s group wants to keep the art in the community.

“We will only give mon-ey to projects that benefit the community,” she said.

Over the years, the coun-cil has given money to vari-ous groups around town (see sidebar for last year’s distribu-tion.) Kiley said she’d love to see more individuals apply as well.

“We tend to give most of our money to educational projects ... or performing arts groups,” said Kiley.

The money isn’t much, but it’s better than what many oth-er states have. Kiley said that because Massachusetts is one of the few states that give local cultural grants, they often re-ceive applications from artists around the country –– which they always turn down.

Years ago, the money from one of the state’s lotteries was dedicated for cultural organi-zations, Kiley said. “When that dried up, those organizations really suffered,” she said.

Now, the amount of fund-ing depends on the state bud-get, and in lean years, it’s one of the first areas to fall under the budget knife.

There are some places art-ists and organizations can turn to on the national level, like the National Endownment for the Arts, but that money tends to go towards larger, more well-known groups and not to local artists.

“There are also private or-ganizations, but they are very, very competitive,” Kiley said.

The local councils can do their own fundraising, and Duxbury’s group will do something every couple of years, Kiley said. The most recent event was a “Bobby Burns Night” at the Senior Center, themed around the

famed Scottish poet.“We’re allowed to keep

our own little kitty of money,” Kiley said.

This year, they tapped into that pool to give the Gurnet Theatre Project a few hundred dollars over the summer.

Those funds, however, are small, and the council’s main business is distributing the main state grant in the fall. Some recent examples are money given to the Art Com-plex Museum for a student exhibition, and money given to the Chandler PTA to bring in a theater group to perform Aseop’s Fables.

“They’re small amounts of money but it really helps these organizations meet expenses,” Kiley said.

She said there are some-times worthy projects that the council can’t fund because there simply isn’t enough money.

Kiley pointed to the growth of arts organizations in town, such as the South Shore Conservatory, the Duxbury Art Association, the Atlantic

Symphony and other groups that use the PAC, and even the Senior Center as proof that Duxbury’s cultural scene is thriving.

“It’s tremendous here now,” she said. “There’s a lot going on here.”

Grant applications must be postmarked by Oct. 15. For specific guidelines and com-plete information on the DCC, contact Barbara Kiley at 781-934-1108, ext. 156 or [email protected]. Application forms and more information about the LCC Program are available online at mass-culture.org. Applica-tion forms are also available at the Duxbury Town Hall.

On Oct. 16, Pilgrim Church (UCC) will hold its second an-nual CROP Walk. Commenc-ing at 10 a.m. at Duxbury Beach, Pilgrim Church mem-bers and friends, of all ages, will come together and walk three miles to raise money and awareness for the fight against poverty and hunger.

The CROP Walk is spon-sored by Church World Ser-vice. Founded in 1946, CWS seeks to combat the root causes of poverty, through emergency relief assistance, education, advocacy and em-powerment. Whether digging wells for access to clean wa-

ter, providing training for fish farming, supplying seeds and tools for people to grow their own food, CWS promotes and nurtures sustainable develop-ment with its partners around the world.

The money raised by this walk will directly benefit the important work of CWS at both a global and local level. Twenty-five percent of the money raised will go to help a local hunger relief agency, the Greater Plymouth Food Ware-house.

For more information about the Pilgrim Church CROP Walk, please contact

the Pilgrim Church office at 781-934-6591.

in Duxbury. After the school was built, Jan took a job as program director for Arzu, a Chicago-based nonprofit that works with women rug weav-ers in the rugged north of Af-ghanistan.

Jan does return to Duxbury from time to time to update the community on the progress of the school and her foundation, Razia’s Ray of Hope.

“I don’t have words for how supportive you’ve been,” Jan told the crowd over tea at the Senior Center on Sunday afternoon.

Jan spoke effusively about the school’s new paint job, calling it “like The White House.” The building, which is two stories high and has 14 rooms, will someday have to be expanded if the student body keeps growing.

“We need to expand our building,” she said.

The building has always been surrounded by a wooden fence, which provides security and screens the girls from the street. However, in the tough Afghan winter, residents were stripping the boards to burn for fuel. The wood was recently replaced with a stone wall, and a new gate at the front of the

school was installed. Jan said the wall cost about $8-9,000, and the school also bought a new van for the teachers to use (they had been renting) for about $10,000.

“I want to really grow and secure the school,” Jan said. “That’s our goal and we are going towards that.”

Jan is also particularly proud of the fact that they have retained nearly 90 percent of their teachers since the school opened, and she talked about the students who have been at the school all three years.

“They love to come to school,” she said.

She also pointed out that the school is the only one of Kabul’s 260 private schools that is 100 percent free.

“They appreciate that,” she said of the children. “They want to learn, their families are protecting us, they’re pro-tecting their children.”

While she is happy with the success of the school, Jan is realistic about the struggles in every day Afghanistan. Several attendees on Sunday asked her if the recent troubles in Afghanistan could affect the school.

“It’s a small world, my world, but it’s working out,” Jan said. “There’s no guar-antees. You might not see me next year.”

For Jan, it’s not enough to merely have a school. She doesn’t think of the Zabuli school as a charity –– she wants the school to stand tall among the private schools in Afghanistan. She wants the desks to be clean, the uniforms to be bright and for the girls to have the best education pos-sible.

“It’s important for them not to have just something, but I want them to have the best,” she said.

more laptops and mobile com-puter labs into the schools.

“It behooves us to have a powerful enough network that’s working appropriately,” she said.

Callahan also talked about how the district is working with a new company, Ikon, that will maintain all the school’s printers. Because Ikon has agreed to replace parts or even complete printers that are no longer working as part of the maintenance contract, the school can spend money al-located towards new printers on other things. A planned lan-guage lab is also not needed because the schools received a mobile computing lab over the summer as part of a grant, she said.

The school is also working with a new vendor for projec-tors that has agreed to give the schools one free projector for every five they purchase, Cal-lahan said.

School Committee mem-bers also heard a budget report from Business Manager Susan Nauman, part of a new policy of receiving more regular fi-nancial updates, at their most recent meeting.

Nauman said that because of money saved in the dis-trict’s operating budget due to the hiring freeze in fiscal year 2010 (the school is currently in fiscal year 2011), the schools were able to make some capi-

tal and technology purchases.“We caught up on some

expenditures,” she said.They made some technol-

ogy purchases with the funds, including copiers, printers and tech support for language-based programs at Alden, Chandler and Duxbury Middle School.

Nauman also said that be-cause of last year’s mild winter, the district saved thousands on utility bills, which will allow them to pre-pay some special education expenses.

She also said there is a sur-plus left over from the money Duxbury has been receiving in special education reimburse-ment from the state, commonly called “circuit breaker” funds, even though the amount Dux-bury has been receiving from the state has declined each of the past several years.

“That is a really good, healthy revenue for us. We

have not been used to that in the past,” she said.

Nauman also addressed some of the things in the capi-tal budget, which has been whittled down over the past several years because major projects have been addressed through the “extraordinary maintenance” line item in the operating budget.

“We’ve completed a sub-stantial amount of projects in the last two years,” she said.

Other capital needs in-clude blinds at the high school, lighting upgrades at Alden and security cameras for the two elementary schools (they are already in place at the middle school and high school).

“We do invest in the tech side, rightfully so since one of the major goals of our educa-tion program in Duxbury is to bring our students into the 21st century,” Nauman said of the capital items.

Proposals for community-oriented arts, humanities, and science projects are due Oct. 15.

The Duxbury Cultural Council has set an Oct. 15 postmark deadline for organi-zations, schools and individu-als to apply for grants that sup-port cultural activities in the community.

According to Council chair Barbara Kiley, these grants can support a variety of artistic projects and activities in the Duxbury area including exhibits, festivals, short-term artist residencies or perfor-mances in schools, workshops and lectures.

The DCC will also enter-tain funding proposals from schools and youth groups

through the PASS Program, which provides subsidies for school-age children to attend cultural field trips.

The DCC is part of a net-work of 329 Local Cultural Councils serving all 351 cities and towns in the Common-wealth. The LCC Program is the largest grassroots cultural funding network in the nation, supporting thousands of com-munity-based projects in the arts, sciences and humanities every year. The state legisla-ture provides an annual appro-priation to the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agen-cy, which then allocates funds to each community.

This year the DCC will dis-tribute about $3,900 in grants. Last year’s funded projects

include: The Duxbury Senior Center, Chandler School, Bay Players, Duxbury Free Li-brary Children’s project, Snug Harbor Community Chorus, Pilgrim Hall Museum, North River Arts Society, Pilgrim Festival Chorus, the Art Com-plex Museum, South Shore Art Center and the Gurnet Shake-speare Project.

For specific guidelines and complete information on the DCC, contact Barbara Kiley at 781-934-1108, ext. 156 or [email protected]. Application forms and more information about the LCC Program are available online at mass-culture.org. Application forms are also available at the Duxbury Town Hall.

Julie Anne Waltz, a long-time resident of Duxbury, died at her home on Sept. 22.

Ms. Waltz was born in Maine on April 8, 1948, the daughter of James and Cora Hoak Waltz. She graduated from Waldeboro High School and was a 1970 graduate of Bates College. As an under-graduate, she spent a year as an exchange student at Oxford University in England. Ms. Waltz later attended gradu-ate school at the University of New Hampshire where she received her masters degree in English Literature. She subse-quently taught English at Wey-mout High School, after which she worked at several jobs, including a stint as an admin-istrator at Duxbury Before and After Dark. For several years

she was employed at Standish, Ayer and Woods in Boston.

In 1976, Ms. Waltz mar-ried Gary Robinson and the couple made their home on Bay Road. The marriage ended in 1990, but she continued to make Duxbury her home. She was locally known as a com-puter expert and taught classes in computer usage as well as helping friends and neighbors with the “cranky computers.”

Ms. Waltz was an avid sail-or and longtime member of the Duxbury Yacht Club. In 1978, she and her then-husband ac-companied Bob Godfrey and his other crew members aboard his 46-foot ketch, “Icarus,” on a voyage to the British Virgin Islands. The boat was caught in a terrible storm off the coast of Puerto Rico, however, both the

mainsail and the jib were lost and the situation seemed dire. Fortunately, the crew were able to navigate their way to San Juan Harbor, where they dined in elegant style, served by waiters in tuxedoes.

Ms. Waltz leaves her two sisters, Marie E. Theriault of Waterville, Maine and Pamela Hodsdon of Yarmouth, Maine; and many nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.

Burial was at the German Protestant Cemetery in Walde-boro, Maine on Oct. 10 in her family’s plot. In lieu of flow-ers, donations may be made to two organizations: The Duxbury Council on Aging, P.O Box 2113, Duxbury, MA 02331 or the Duxbury Beach Preservation Society, P.O. Box 1364, Duxbury, MA 02331.

During WWII she worked in the public relations depart-

ment at Cleveland’s Crile General Hospital for wounded soldiers. She was a graduate of the University of Michigan, Rutgers University library school, and held a Master’s in English from Boston College.

Who better to teach the rules of the road than those who enforce them?

That’s the philosophy be-hind Blue Driving Academy, a new driving school run by Duxbury resident Dan Eaton. The school will bring state and local police officers into the classroom to give students the best chance to stay safe on the highways.

Eaton has been a state trooper for 18 years. As part of his job, he gives CDL exams for truck drivers. He’s also ex-perienced with military trans-portation from his time in the service. As a result, he’s seen a lot of what people should and shouldn’t do on the road.

“Just when you think you’ve seen it all,” Eaton said, shaking his head.

The school aims to do more than just teach students enough to pass their drivers test. The instructors at Blue Driving Academy want to put good drivers on the road.

“Our goal is to ensure that each student has the knowl-edge, skills and confidence they need to obtain their Mas-sachusetts Driver’s License and become safe, responsible drivers,” reads a statement from the school’s Web site.

Eaton feels that the com-bined expertise of himself, another state trooper who is retired with 25 years of expe-rience, and several members of the Duxbury Police Depart-ment will help prepare students for the challenges of the open road.

The school will use SUVs for all its driving, which serves a dual purpose. Eaton pointed out that many driving schools use smaller sedans for their

road work, but then many Dux-bury teens get their license and hop behind the wheel of their family’s larger car.

Another perk to the SUVs is that they will be used as part of a “confidence course,” a driving skills track located at Plympton Sand and Gravel. The course will include ma-neuvering challenges and ob-stacles (cones) that must be avoided using only mirrors –– all designed to build the confi-dence of young drivers.

“It will emphasize hand-eye coordination and the depth perception of their vehicles,” Eaton said.

With the new legislation banning texting while driving and cell phone use for teenag-ers, driver distraction is in the news more than ever. When asked what the single biggest problem he sees out on the highway, Eaton said it’s people not paying attention.

“People not being aware of their total surroundings,” he said.

The school will be up and running by mid-November, and the course involves 30-hours of classroom instruction, 12 hours of behind-the-wheel driving time, six hours of ob-servation and a two hour par-ent class.

Blue Driving Academy will be holding an open house on Wednesday, Oct. 27, from 6-8 p.m. in the school’s offices at Island Creek, 20 Tremont Street, Building 9, Suite 17.

By olivia murphy, speCial to the Clipper

Yo Taco, located at 30 Railroad Ave. is among the new-

est restaurants in Duxbury. This take-out restaurant serves Mexican food ranging from mouth-watering burritos to creamy frozen yogurt known as “Yo Fro Yo.”

A total of 20 people wait-ed for the doors to open Aug. 15, on Yo Taco’s opening day. From my observations, Yo Taco seems to always be bus-tling with excitement. After recently speaking with one of the owners, Kelly Laviolette, I have been notified that you will not only be able to get tacos at Yo Taco but possibly Mexican cuisine at Duxbury High School football games at the concession stand. Food at football games will consist of burritos and tacos. Yo Taco will soon be catering and serv-ing breakfast at seven in the morning, so be on the look out. Not only has Yo Taco been great for dinners, it’s a popu-lar place for kids to hang out and grab a snack after school. Their “Yo Fro Yo” is a hit! You can pick either vanilla or

chocolate frozen yogurt to be mixed with their many mix-in toppings. If you do not see a mix-in you like, Yo Taco is open to suggestions from customers. Another thing you should check out is the natural sugar, no high fructose corn syrup, Mexican coke imported all the way from Mexico. It is available in multiple flavors such as orange and raspberry. I have tried it myself and it

is most certainly refreshing! Although the “Mom’s Taco” would have to be the most popular on Yo Taco’s menu, they serve a wide variety of food that you can enjoy seven days a week from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Be sure to check out Yo Taco and watch for their Mexi-can cuisine at football games.

In today’s society as an elected official there is absolutely no ex-cuse to not be readily available

to your constituent base. Public office hours each week and visits to each town hall to dis-cuss the issues are a must. In addition to that I plan on put-ting out a regular legislative update which will be sub-

mitted to each news source as well as published to all of my social media sources. However, as easy as it is to disseminate information to the public there is no substitute for personal contact. As a state representative, I will be your voice by first listening to your concerns. I will have regular town hall

forums in which the public will have the opportunity to hear what I have to say about what’s going on at Beacon Hill as well as where I will be able to listen to constituents’ opinions as well.

Part 2: I believe it is inevitable that casino gambling will make it into Mas-sachusetts at some point. With that being said, my personal view is that it should be the will of the people that should be bringing this to our state not a piece of legislation to try to bandage our current fiscal struggles. I believe that if the leg-islative body in its current state has the opportunity to use this as a way to skirt responsible spending practices or lower taxes they will.

Questions with the candidates: State rep.This week’s question

In the weeks leading up to the state election, the Clip-per will be asking questions of the candidates running

for state representative for the Sixth and 12th Plym-outh districts. This week’s question follows:Part 1: How do you (if you are an incumbent) or how would you (if you are a challenger) stay in touch with your constituents and keep the district informed of what’s going on at Beacon

Hill. Part 2: What are your views on the future of casino gambling in Massachusetts?

Duxbury votes

Precincts 2-5

By Joe Trucshelli

As State Representative for the 12th Plymouth district, I have the honor and respon-

sibility that comes with serving 40,000 citizens who live in six towns, covering a 105 square mile area. Although mass mailings and newsletters are the tradi-tional methods of communication used

by legislators, they don’t reflect my per-sonal style or com-mitment to personal service. I like to meet people where they are. Therefore, I visit each town weekly, conduct of-fice hours, attend

Town Meetings, celebrations, school events, and municipal meetings. I meet people in their homes when invited and in their businesses when it is more con-venient for them. I am now instructing my third class at the Duxbury Senior Center. Known as “Issues of the Day,” these classes allow me the opportunity to share valuable information and most importantly, to gain insight from the ex-periences and wisdom of my constitu-ents.

It’s occasionally important to meet with people outside of the community. For that reason, I maintain a district of-fice as well. I have met with people at my Cordage Park office day and night, seven days a week in order to address their concerns.

It’s important to me that I am con-sistently among the people I serve. The relationship with my constituents has grown and has become the best part of serving as your state representative. I believe that communication should not be an event but an ongoing process.

The work being done on Beacon Hill

is meaningful not only to me, but to my constituents as well. I believe it is my responsibility to elevate the discussion to a level above simple sound bytes and campaign slogans in order to advance the debate on the critical issues that mat-ter most to all of us.

Part 2: The issue of expanded gam-ing in Massachusetts is very personal for many of our citizens. On the one hand, families impacted by a gambling addic-tion understand firsthand the social costs of expanded gaming. On the other hand, if you are one of the 300,000 citizens who remains unemployed, new job cre-ation is likely to be your first priority.

Massachusetts residents spend more than 1.3 billion dollars annually at out of state resort casinos. Thousands of construction and service related jobs have been lost to border states that have already expanded their gaming regula-tions to include resort casinos.

In order to gain my support for the Governor’s gaming legislation filed in 2008 and the Speaker’s legislation filed in 2010, I needed to be satisfied that the legislation included several key provi-sions. These included meeting the known social consequences, mitigation money for host and bordering communities, and a regulatory structure unmatched by any other state in the country. Those pieces of legislation met those criteria. There-fore, I voted yes both times.

I am disappointed that the pend-ing casino legislation failed to pass in its current form. Assuming responsible gaming legislation is proposed in the next session, it will have to meet the same responsible criteria in order to gain my support.

Mr. Calter is the Democratic nominee and incumbent for the 12th Plymouth Dis-trict

By Tom calTer

Precincts 1 & 6

Communication and constitu-ent service are the two most important aspects of serving

as a state representative. Unfortunately our current representative has been an abject failure at both.

We can debate whether a full-time or part-time legis-lature is more ap-propriate, but right now we are paying a full-time salary –– we deserve more than a part-time ef-fort. Serving as rep-

resentative will be my full-time focus. I will not be practicing law and spend-ing most of my day at the probate court. Representing the residents of the Sixth Plymouth District will always be my top priority.

I will hold regular office hours at the senior center as well as additional evening office hours rotating through each town for those who are not able to meet during the day. And more importantly I will at-tend these office hours myself. I will not dispatch an aide to take my place.

In addition to being available and accessible in the community, a represen-tative must also stay in regular commu-nication with constituents. Rather than coming out of hibernation during elec-tion season, I will work hard to keep resi-dents informed all year round. I will do this with regular email updates, monthly newspaper submissions, meetings with town officials, attendance at community events, as well as using social media tools like Twitter, Youtube and Facebook.

And finally, I always invite residents to contact me directly should they have a question or need help. My cell phone is 781-217-5854 and my personal e-mail is [email protected].

Part 2: I don’t view casino gambling as a panacea for all our economic woes, nor should it be a substitute for real eco-nomic development and reform. None-theless, if properly regulated, casino gambling can create good jobs and recap-ture tax dollars that are currently flowing out of state to Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun. Resort-style casinos can also serve to give a much needed boost to economi-cally depressed areas of the state.

I am mindful that gambling brings with it certain social ills and for that rea-son I will fight to ensure that final legisla-tion dedicates a portion of new revenues to compulsive gambling, anti-addiction and substance abuse programs.

I was disappointed that legislative leaders (and many in my own party) could not come to a consensus on this impor-tant issue. Were I in office at the time, I would have advocated coming back into formal session for further debate.

Again, I think this issue highlights a difference in approach between my op-ponent and myself. Whereas our current representative prefers to take potshots from the sidelines, hand out blame and issue press releases, my approach is to roll up my sleeves and get to work solv-ing problems. That means bringing Dem-ocrats and Republicans together to find common ground; working with legisla-tive leaders, but also making sure that the voices of the rank and file are heard.

We need more problem-solving and less rancor and partisanship. Harry Tru-man once said you can get a lot accom-plished if you don’t care who gets the credit and I ascribe to that philosophy.

Mr. Cutler is the Democratic nomi-nee for the 6th Plymouth District

By Josh cuTler

Constituent service has, and always will be, a top priority in my office. I recently re-

viewed the database I use to keep track of constituent casework, and my records show that I have assisted over 7,000 resi-dents in my district.

Whether it’s teaching my govern-ment course with se-niors at the Duxbury and Hanson Coun-cils on Aging or hav-ing a cup of coffee with a concerned taxpayer to resolve a pending home fore-

closure, these are great opportunities for me to stay in touch with the voters and communicate with them on the issues that matter most. Holding monthly of-fice hours opens the door for scheduling more face time with people so I can fo-cus on their personal needs. On a routine basis I attend many meetings on the lo-cal level with councils on aging, school committees, boards of selectmen, cham-bers of commerce, veterans groups, and law enforcement officials.

I also have a proven record of com-munity involvement. During my time in office, I’ve worked closely with a num-ber of constituent groups to help them secure financial assistance from both the state and private institutions. Just recent-ly I advocated on behalf of the Hanson Children’s Museum, the Pembroke Skate Park Committee and the Hanson Little League to help them obtain funding to expedite project development. I have also worked closely with the Pembroke Watershed Association to win state ap-proval for a new algae treatment program to preserve Oldham Pond as well as the

Stetson Pond Preservation Committee. Yesterday, I spoke with the Pembroke town administrator and a Pembroke Zon-ing Board of Appeals member following up on a request to MassHighway to in-stall a traffic light at the intersection of Pleasant Street and Route 53. As you can see, there are many constituent is-sues that are addressed on a daily basis.

Part 2: Unfortunately, the prospects for casino gambling are, for the near term, dim at best. For the first time since I’ve been in office, House and Senate Demo-cratic leadership and the Governor seem to have been poised to embrace casino gambling. Despite this, the casino bill only introduced as the end of the legisla-tive session was looming. The bill was rushed through the legislative process. In the House it was railroaded through three legislative committees in two days. The House never held a public hearing on this omnibus gambling bill. The haste was unnecessary. A legislative session lasts for two years, yet the Democratic leadership decided to take up the issue at the last possible minute. The result is that we have no casino gaming in Massachu-setts, as the Democratically controlled House and Senate quibble over details that could have been resolved if the process had been timely. All the while, revenues are flowing to Connecticut and Rhode Island and the Commonwealth is squandering the opportunity to create jobs. This is a prime example of the utter failure of one-party rule on Beacon Hill. Despite their supermajority, 179 Demo-crats out of 200 lawmakers once again can’t get the job done.

Week 4 questionsPart 1: If there was a bill that would require adults applying for public

benefits such as public housing, unemployment benefits, welfare or workers compensation, to supply proof of legal residence such as a state driver’s li-cense, came up for a vote in the House, would you support it? Part 2: What would you do to foster job creation in the district moving forward? How would you foster the growth of existing businesses or encourage new businesses?

What’S YOurS? Share YOur vieWS in Our SOunDing Off SeCtiOn

I have come to know and respect Josh Cutler ever since I got involved in

Town Government 16 years ago. I saw him up close as editor of the Clipper. He never hesitated to call me to discuss important issues, and even if I didn’t always agree with his opinions and editorials, I al-ways respected his integrity and fairness. When Josh was a fellow selectman in Hull, I observed his commitment to open government as he tackled difficult issues which required delicate handling of competing interests. And most recently as a colleague on Duxbury’s Al-ternative Energy Committee, I have seen his passion for utiliz-ing new technology to lower our dependence on fossil fuels with the goal of lowering our energy costs.

We have a rare opportunity to elect a representative who lives in and deeply cares about Duxbury. I know that Josh will always be accessible and will always seek input when mak-ing difficult decisions, unlike our current representative, who never once in six years called

me to discuss an issue while I was a selectman. Both Repre-sentative Tom Calter and his predecessor, Tom O’Brien, fre-quently called to discuss issues, but Dan Webster never seemed to have the time or need to con-sult with the people who would be directly affected by impor-tant legislation. Josh will also fight to unify Duxbury back into a single legislative district, to reverse the insane gerryman-dering that happened 10 years ago.

Josh is uniquely qualified to be a great state representa-tive. As a small businessman,

member of the press, a hom-eowner and an elected munici-pal official in two towns, he un-derstands and has dealt with the major issues facing municipali-ties, small businesses and resi-dents. He has the ability and is committed to work with people on both sides of the aisle, in-stead of constantly blaming the other side. Please join me in supporting Josh Cutler on Nov. 2 to be our new state represen-tative. It’s time for a refreshing change!

Webster never called about issues ————

Let’s keep Represen-tative Tom Calter in the state legislature!

Rep. Calter has served nearly two terms as State Representa-tive of the 12th Plymouth Dis-trict and he’s served his constit-uents very well. While I was a member of the Duxbury School Committee, I got to know Rep. Calter through my many deal-ings with him with regards to educational issues and school funding. I always found Rep. Calter very responsive and pas-sionate about public education and improving the lives of all

citizens in the Commonwealth. Rep. Calter has 30 years of busi-ness experience, was a mem-ber of the Kingston Finance Committee and Silver Lake Regional School Committee. Rep. Calter has consistently taken tough non-partisan votes in support of good government, fiscal responsibility and social justice. He shaped the debate leading to major government reforms in ethics, transporta-tion, pension and education. Rep. Calter has a 100 percent voting record, was a leader in bringing veteran services to

the district, voted against the sales tax increase from 5 per-cent to 6.25 percent, refused his legislative pay increase, and supports strict enforce-ment of immigration laws. Tom Calter is an independent voice in the state legislature who has worked diligently for his con-stituents and I ask that Duxbury voters support him on Nov. 2. Rep. Calter serves precincts 1 and 6 in Duxbury. Thank you!

Karen WongMeeting House Road

Keep Calter as Duxbury’s rep ——————

Vote for Joe ——————

On Nov. 2, join me in voting for Joe Truschelli, state representative for Duxbury’s precincts 1 and 6. I’ve personally gotten to know Joe and his wife Lee over

the past year. He is a father concerned about the future for his two young sons: higher taxes, huge debt burdens and diminished personal freedoms. Joe Truschelli got into this race as a citizen legislator. Joe served in Iraq and continues to serve in the Air Guard. He currently works in the private sector. He is hard work-ing, approachable and thoughtful. Joe Truschelli will energetically represent the people of the 12th Plymouth District.

Paula HarrisBayridge Lane

In 2007, a group of us had an opportunity to tour DMS and DHS

and we were all pretty upset at some of the conditions in the two buildings. The mainte-nance staff and administration are to be commended for try-ing to keep up appearances, but some things just can’t be hid-den or fixed and the buildings have reached their useful life. They must be rebuilt at some point soon. In contrast to our beautiful library, pool, PAC, Chandler and Alden Schools, DMS and DHS are old, tired, worn-down and unattractive buildings. And to compare these two schools to most of our surrounding towns, Silver Lake High School in Kingston is a gem compared to DHS.

I realize that many might see the option of not building

and just repairing as we go along as the more attractive and less expensive of the two options. However, the no-build option would cost taxpayers $70 mil-lion in the near future to repair and replace major systems in both buildings; and we would still be stuck with structures that have outlasted the 50-year time frame expected for schools built in the 1960s. If we were to build a new, connected high school and middle school, the state would reimburse Duxbury 40 percent. Construction costs are favorable and Duxbury has a strong borrowing position. Remember that a major at-traction to this town for many people living here and looking to move here is the quality of our school system. Although buildings are not the only im-portant factor in this equation,

they certainly play a large part. If you are in favor of having

our middle and high schools re-built, please note an important date: Town Meeting is on Satur-day, March 12. While we don’t know yet what will be present-ed at Town Meeting, there is no such thing as absentee voting and if the vote is tight on an article related to rebuilding the schools, it could certainly come down to a few votes either way. Mark your calendars now and don’t make other plans for that weekend. Make plans to come to Town Meeting and let your vote count towards this very important project that will af-fect the children currently in our schools and the many more to come in our town.

School buildings are ‘worn-down’ —————The pretty invasive white vine

The letter in a recent opinion section, “Not all white flow-ers are bad,” was a very good one.

Thank you for your letter to the Clipper, as I did leave out important information about the vine you refer to. I’m very happy to add this important information that should have been included.

The white-flowering Clematis vine (Virgin’s Bower) is about to make the invasive list, although a little too late! It came from Japan and China and is taking over New Jersey and Long Island looking like fields of white snow. It’s very sad that this vine is taking so long to be put on the invasive list, and that is why it is becoming yet another looming ecothreat. If you go to Nantucket you might have noticed it along roadsides and covering shrubbery. The very fact that people love using Bittersweet as decorations at holidays and enjoy this pretty white beautiful jasmine smelling vine make it all the harder to get on the invasive list.

This Virgin’s Bower can be cut down repeatedly, pulled out or carefully brushed with 2 4-D or Triclopyr herbicides on the sides of the stems. As Peter Alden suggests, “There should be neigh-borhood work gangs of garden clubbers, students and whomever gardening the wildlands and roadsides.”

My name is Erin Thorp and I am interning

at the Duxbury Clipper this fall. I graduated from DHS in 2005 and am currently a senior at Pine Manor Col-lege, majoring in English and Creative Writing. I have been interested in the process of creative writing for most of my life and I am looking forward to lending my unique skills and experiences to the Clipper. I have lived in Duxbury my entire life and am currently still living in town as a commuter, so I hope that working for the Clipper will allow me to gain a better knowledge and appreciation of Duxbury. I expect to learn a great deal about journalism and to gain valu-able experience.

Welcome, Erin!

Take the global view on schoolRazia Jan’s visit and subsequent talk on the state

of the Zabuli School for Girls certainly puts a lot of things into perspective. In Duxbury, we’re

currently talking about whether the school buildings should be renovated or replaced. In Afghanistan, they’re replacing a wooden fence because it continually gets stolen for heating fuel –– a fence that needs to be in place because an angry extremist, upon seeing girls being educated, might just do something rash like lob a bomb over the fence.

Duxbury’s debate is a worthy one, to be sure. But we often take what we have for granted, here in the comfortable suburbs.

It’s good to hear that the Zabuli School, built in large part with donations from Duxbury, is thriving. The students seem eager to learn and thankful for the opportunity.

We’re not sure how Razia ever gets any sleep, juggling the school and her other job as a program director for Arzu. But it’s always good to see her in town and hear how the efforts of Duxbury people are doing good a world away.

RUSH TO JUDGMENT It is hardly news that four people in five will experience back pain some-time in their lives. What is surprising is that many Americans are so quick to opt for surgical treatment. The fact is that time is often the best antidote for back pain, and surgery offers no real guarantee that it will cure chronic back pain. Moreover, about 20% of patients who undergo back surgery return for a subse-quent surgical procedure within a decade. While specialists indicate that 10% of patients with lingering back pain are candidates for sur-gery, the remaining 90% may be better served by more conserva-tive treatment first. The non-invasive treatment offered by a chiropractor may help relieve chronic back pain without a scalpel. Chiropractic care has helped

many people with back pain. It is a natural, non-invasive approach to your health that really works. For the latest, most up-to-date back pain treatments, please contact LA-LONDE CHIROPRACTIC SPINE CEN-TER OF NEW ENGLAND, 42 Tremont St., Suite 10B (Rt 3A at Rt 3). Find fast, effective relief for whiplash and other auto accident related injuries. Chiropractic can treat carpal tunnel syndrome, headaches, and back and neck pain. Lower back and leg pain can be resolved painlessly through the gentle, non-force Cox® Technic, a non-surgical and effec-tive procedure. Call 781.934.0943. P.S. There can be numerous rea-sons for back pain, ranging from vertebrae out of alignment and “bulging” discs to arthritis and bone-thinning osteoporosis.

The goal for Coach Dave Maimaron’s squad is to bring

home another Super Bowl title.

Scheduling non-league op-ponents from the Old Colony League and the Big Three was Maimaron’s way of getting his team toughened up for the 2010 season. By scheduling tougher opponents, instead of guaranteeing an impres-sive early-season record by rolling over weaker ones, the Duxbury coach has killed two birds with one stone by start-ing off at 5-0 and garnering a top-20 ranking in the recent Boston Globe polls.

While those fairly easy victories, including Friday night’s 35-7 thrashing of Quin-cy, have been impressive, they have no bearing on whether or not the Dragons will make it into the playoffs.

That journey starts this Friday night at 7 p.m. when Duxbury travels to Whitman-Hanson to take on the Panthers in their first Patriot League–Keenan Division battle of the season.

There are only four impor-tant games during the regular season and Friday night’s is one of them, as winning the division makes the Dragons eligible for postseason play against the winner of the Old

Colony League in the first round.

After plowing through the first four games, Duxbury took on Quincy at Veteran’s Memo-rial Stadium on Friday night in Quincy.

After opening the game with a 28-yard swing pass to running back Reggie Cesar, the Presidents were forced to

punt on fourth down and put the Dragons back on their own 27-yard line.

Junior QB Matt O’Keefe was at the helm once again and was destined to have the best game of his high school career, as he opened with a 10-play/83-yard drive that in-cluded four completions and three carries for 32 yards, cul-

minating in a four-yard TD pass to sophomore Joe Guil-foile. Tucker Hannon’s PAT made it 7-0 with 4:45 to go in the quarter.

The Presidents did them-selves no favors by fumbling the kickoff and losing it at their own 27-yard line, set-ting the stage for O’Keefe to strike quickly with a 16-yard pass to junior Don Webber, a six-yard keeper, and a six-yard TD strike to Webber for a 14-0 lead after Hannon’s PAT with 3:49 left in the quarter.

Starting at its own 20 after Hannon’s kick went into the end zone, Quincy went three and out, punting to their own 45.

After a 15-yard penalty set the Dragons back to their own 40, junior Henry Buonagurio got into the action, rumbling 46 yards on two pass recep-tions, all the way down to the Quincy 14-yard line.

Three plays later O’Keefe took it into the end zone on a seven-yard keeper for a 21-0 lead just over a minute into the second quarter.

The Presidents came to life after the kickoff with runs of 13 yards by Cesar and 20 yards by QB Ryan Shultz had the ball all the way down to the Duxbury 18, where the drive stalled on a failed fourth down attempt.

The Dragons took over at the 18 where O’Keefe hit Guilfoile for 20 yards and a first down, followed by com-pletions to Buonagurio (3 yds.), Gulfoile (9), and An-

Duxbury’s Agricultural Commission meets at the Senior Center on the

third Tuesday of the month at 7 p.m. Duxbury remains a farming town. I suppose everyone knows that America was once spread with farms, gardens, and pastures like an egg carton illustration. “Out in the country” meant the same thing as “across the street.” Even the South Shore’s sandy, pebbly

soil was tilled far and wide, or kept in pasture by farm families with hope that next year’s crop would put them in the black. Few of Duxbury’s forests are more than 70 years old or so, and

wherever you find stone fences along the road or cutting up into a wood, you know that a farm once lived there. Even people who weren’t bona fide farmers still grew their own vegetables and kept a few chickens.

During the town’s 19th century shipbuilding heyday, farming and logging were an integral part of the industry. Builders like King Caesar (Ezra Weston II) tried to turn a profit, if possible, on every aspect of the

mercantile endeavor from sail-making to provisioning their ships. I like to imagine that Weston’s wife, Jerusha, would make sure that Duxbury ships carried Duxbury pumpkins and apples to feed the men before the mast, and that local hens’ eggs would grace the Captain’s table for the first month or so outbound.

Duxbury’s working farms and gardens, both old and new, continue the tradition, though the wooden ships have sailed, for the moment, into history. The Agricultural Commission’s member list reads like a Who’s Who of Duxbury farming. Chairman Jeff Chandler and Carl O’Neil both raise cattle for beef and dairy, and White Gate Gardens grower Annie Eldridge sells veggies and cut flowers at her honor stand on Union Street and at the Duxbury Farmers and Artisans Regional Market at Tarkiln, Route 53, Wednesdays from 12:30 to 4:30. (Today, Oct 13, is the last day of the market’s season.)

You may think that the beautiful vistas and artistic motifs offered by Jeff, Carl, and Annie are the exception in the world of real agriculture. Not so. They set a high but wide-spread standard for agricultural practices. I write this column from Grand Pre, Nova Scotia, where my son Creighton is about to get married. Grand Pre, the real home of Longfellow’s fictional Evangeline, rests between the Bay of Fundy and the Annapolis Valley. Orchards and dairy farms remain a mainstay of the local economy. A beautiful farm is a profitable farm, and in many ways, driving through Grand Pre is like a visit to Duxbury 75 years ago. In other words, it’s like living in a painting by Andrew Wyeth.

Farming sets the aesthetic tone in such an area, to be sure. With the beauty and the grace come, well, farming things. In March of 2008, Duxbury Town Meeting approved the Town’s Right-to-Farm Notification, informing all property buyers and occupants in Duxbury that “farming activities occur and are encouraged … activities that cause noise, dust, and odors.” In other words, a farm is a farm. Hens celebrate. Roosters crow. Horses smell like cowboys.

But the unspeakable beauty around Grand Pre reminds me that a farming future for Duxbury is no failure in the hoped-for aesthetic of the town. It is a bold opportunity to build vistas, sounds, and scents that enrich our community. The right to farm makes the town more beautiful, not less. Large-scale haying may never return to Duxbury, but many people have room for small-scale orchards, attractive chicken pens and coops, and gardens like Annie Eldridge’s. My visit to Grand Pre has raised my level of aesthetic aspiration, too. Poking a pair of tomato plants into my back yard just doesn’t do the trick after seeing what my place could look like. Meanwhile, it’s good to know that an active Agricultural Commission in Duxbury means more than clunky tractors ambling down the road and slowing traffic. It means reaching to our roots to make our future beautiful.

Dragons’ DenSports Editor Mike Halloran • [email protected]


The DHS field hockey team won its closest game of the season when it shut-out Hingham, 2-0, last Fri-day afternoon on the Harbor-women’s home field, keeping its undefeated record intact at 10-0. With the victory, the Lady Dragons clinched a spot in the MIAA State Tournament and built a one-game lead over Scituate and Hanover in the Patriot League standings be-fore taking on the Sailors on Wednesday afternoon at Ray-mond P. Chandler Field.

Despite injuries, illness, and family commitments, the Lady Dragons continue to march through their regular season schedule, outscoring opponents by a 53-4 margin that includes six shutouts by sophomore goalkeeper Sophie Fitzpatrick.

Not only do the Lady Drag-ons sport three of the top five scorers in the league in Grace Nissi (20 goals/10 assists), Hannah Murphy (16/5), and Molly Zaverucha (6/4), but it’s the defense that has Coach Pam Manley really excited.

In Friday’s win, Manley and co-coach Terry Vandewa-ter were quick to praise the

play of senior Siobhan McCa-rthy, who controlled the mid-field and directed the offense for the entire game.

McCarthy scored what proved to be the game-winner at the 25:02 mark of the first half, and league scoring leader Grace Nissi tallied an insur-ance goal with 1:45 left in the first half.

The defense led by se-nior defensemen Keri Gould and Maggie Dunn, along with Players of the Game, sopho-more defender Kathryn Nut-ter and freshman defender Ali Hammel, held Hingham to just two corners, while junior midfielder Martha Findley continued to display her pre-cision passing skills that have allowed her to be the catalyst of the high-scoring Duxbury offense.

Earlier in the week, the

Lady Dragons continued their scoring rampage with a 6-0 blowout of Pembroke on their old grass field.

Murphy netted two goals and had two assists, while ju-nior forward Emilie Munson also notched a pair of goals. Nissi and junior forward Kyli White finished off the scoring for the Lady Dragons, who will host Notre Dame on Friday.

On Monday at 4 p.m., the Lady Dragons will have their chance for some revenge when they take on Hopkinton, who has eliminated Duxbury from postseason play the past two years and could be an impedi-ment in keeping the team from going all the way in 2010.

So much for that perfect season.

Cruising along with a 13-0 record and a chance for a perfect season and a Patriot League title, the Dragons got distracted in a tri-meet with Silver Lake and Hanover last week, beating the Lakers 251-257 before falling to the Indi-ans by a stroke, 250-251.

Coach Jack Stoddard said

before the season started he had been in this situation be-fore and if it happened again he wasn’t sure how his players would react.

It didn’t take long for him to find out when Hingham came to town on Thursday to take on the Dragons on the DYC course, and they drilled the hosts with a nine-stroke loss, 244-253.

The loss leaves Duxbury just one game ahead of Silver Lake and the Dragons need to make up a match with North Quincy in order to finalize their Keenan Division record in the Patriot League. A win against the Red Raiders would win the title, while a loss to North Quincy would make Duxbury co-champs with Silver Lake.

In the Hanover match that started the downslide, the Dragons had their full atten-tion fixed on the Lakers, who

trailed the Dragons by a game in the standings. Little atten-tion was paid to Hanover, who slowly and effectively toured the Halifax CC course for a 250 with Matt Mont’s 38 lead-ing the way.

Having beaten the Har-bormen by 10 strokes in their first confrontation at the South Shore Country Club, it was surprising that the Dragons had so much trouble with the visitors.

”We’ve been averaging 235-240 all year long and the last two matches, we have been up in the 250s,” said a concerned Stoddard. “I think the reason could be we are thinking about the playoffs. I can only take six players and we go eight deep. I think the kids are gambling too much during the matches trying to be one of the top six play-ers come year end. We just

need some consistency in our games right now and I’m hop-ing our match with BC High will right the ship and get us back on course. I think they are the top team in Division 1 and they have three Duxbury kids on their squad, so it is a big match for them as well. A good performance against BC should give us plenty of confi-dence and prove we can com-pete with the best.”

drew Buron (7) down to the Quincy 43.

O’Keefe decided to rest his arm and scrambled for 19 yard and a first down before hitting Buron two more times down to the 16. The junior QB took off on his own one more time for 15 yards and made it down to the one, where he hit senior Christian Spooner on a slant on the right side to make it 28-0 with a minute left in the half.

After a quiet third quar-ter, the fireworks returned at the start of the fourth when O’Keefe hit Webber for 41 yards out to the 48-yard line, followed by a 52-yd TD strike to Buron, who broke on a slant out of the slot and out-raced the Quincy secondary for a 35-0 lead.

The Presidents still had some tricks in their bag, as the

speedy Cesar got outside on third down from his own 44-yard line and flew down the left side for 56 yards and a TD that prevented the shutout.

Maimaron emptied his bench soon after, as junior Seamus Connelly came in at QB and quickly gained 27 yards on a pair of carries down to the Quincy 38. Penalties killed Duxbury’s momentum and Maimaron held back his charges as time expired and victory was well in hand.

“We control our own desti-ny and we’re taking one week at a time,” said Maimaron. “We’re just trying to get bet-ter every week and it’s kind of scary because we aren’t at 100 percent right now, but we’re very effective no matter who is in there.”

O’Keefe was voted the Player of The Game, as he was 19 for 24 passing for 242 yards

and 4 TDs, and carried the ball eight times for 77 yards for 319 yards of total offense.

Webber (4 for 67 yds.), Guilfoile (6 for 59 yds.), and Buron (5 for 70 yds.) also had big nights on the receiv-ing end, while Connelly’s 31 rushing yards complemented O’Keefe’s big night with 108 rushing yards from the QB po-sition.
