It’s open election season in Duxbury, and there are con-tested races for several impor-tant seats.

Early on, several key fig-ures announced that they would not seek reelection in the upcoming spring election. Selectman Jon Witten, Town Moderator Allen Bornheimer and School Committee mem-bers George Cipoletti and

Karen Wong all said they would not run again, creating sev-eral wide-open posi-tions.

Shawn Dahlen of Long Point Lane was one of the first candidates to take out papers. He ran against Witten for se-

Schools often offer ser-vices and help for parents of special needs children. But what happens once those children become special needs adults?

“Once a special needs child turns 22, state funding is cut off,” said Elizabeth Spradlin, who works with a group of special needs adults in Duxbury. “There’s a lot of stress on the family.”

Members of the Friendship Club, based at the Pilgrim Church on Washington Street, pose for a picture at their most recent meeting. The club was working on making picture frames to serve as table centerpieces for an upcoming benefit.

The Zoning Board of Ap-peals got to the bottom of several sticky questions about Merry Village after a conten-tious hearing Thursday night.

The board held several public hearings in recent months on the development off Lincoln Street, which was the first 40B project in town. During those hearings, ques-tions were raised about the

development’s cost certifica-tion and engineering issues as well as questions regarding relatives of the developer and the housing lottery, but no one from the development team was present at the hearings.

On Thursday, John Mc-Cluskey an attorney working with developer Paul Cincotta, took umbrage with the idea that a relative of his living in the development had entered

Energy and Environ-mental Affairs Secretary Ian Bowles announced $336,000 in grants to help Massachu-setts coastal communities im-prove coastal water quality by limiting polluted runoff from roads and upgrading boat waste pumpout facilities.

Recipients of this year’s grants include the towns of Brewster, Duxbury, Oak Bluffs and Provincetown. Mu-nicipalities may use the funds to identify and treat stormwa-ter pollution and reduce pol-luted runoff from roads and parking areas.

“These grants will help communities do the important work of protecting our coastal waters from pollution,” Sec-retary Bowles said. “Thanks to these funds and the efforts of these four communities, the Commonwealth’s shell-fish beds, beaches and other tidal habitats will be cleaner for residents and visitors to enjoy for years to come.”

The Coastal Pollution Remediation Grant Program, which is aimed at improv-ing coastal water quality by reducing or eliminating non-point source pollution, is ad-ministered by EEA’s Office of Coastal Zone Management. Nonpoint source pollution, the leading cause of water quality impairment in the na-tion, occurs when contami-nants are picked up by rain water and snow melt and car-ried over land, in groundwa-ter, or through drainage sys-tems to coastal waters, rivers, wetlands and groundwater.

Funded projects enhance recreational beaches, habi-tat for river herring, local shellfish beds and the overall health of coastal ecosystems.

Municipalities may use grants for the design and con-struction of stormwater man-agement projects along road-

ways, parking lots or other paved surfaces. Grants may also be used for the design, installation and upgrade of boat waste pumpout facilities, which are prerequisites for communities to apply for No Discharge Area (NDA) des-ignation. NDAs are coastal waters where the discharge of boat sewage, whether treated or not, is prohibited.

Massachusetts has 13 NDAs, including the Lower North Shore coastal waters of Revere, Saugus, Lynn, Nah-ant and Swampscott, which was designated as an NDA in 2009. Previously designated NDAs include Cape Cod Bay; Buzzards Bay; Salem Sound; Boston Harbor; Waquoit Bay; Three Bays/Centerville Har-bor in Barnstable; Chatham’s Stage Harbor; Wellfleet Har-bor; and the coastal waters of: Plymouth, Kingston and Duxbury; Harwich; and Nan-tucket from Muskeget Island to Great Point. A body of wa-ter can be designated an NDA if local, state and federal au-thorities determine the area is ecologically and recreational-ly important enough to merit protection above and beyond that provided by state and federal laws.

Duxbury native, Mike Morse, the 2008 U.S. Free-style Skiing champion and a member of the United State’s Olympic team, finished 15th in the freestyle moguls in Vancouver on Sunday night.

Having started his day by finishing 19th in the qualify-ing rounds, Morse moved on to the finals where he took on the world’s best in the 20-man competition won by Canada’s Alexandre Bilodeau. Austra-lia’s Dale Begg-Smith took home silver, while Morse’s teammate, Brian Wilson, won the bronze.

“It was awe-inspiring,” said Mike’s father, Dick Morse, speaking to The Pa-triot Ledger from Vancouver after the qualifying round. “It’s terrific. We’re incred-ibly proud of him to be at this world-class level.”

Morse scored a 23.38, a full point out of 10th-place, and 3.37 points behind Bilo-deau.

The other United States competitors, Patrick Deneen and Nathan Roberts, skied off course and did not receive scores.

Pool building progressingWork is continu-

ing on the Percy Walker Pool.

Voters at Town Meeting last year approved a multi-mil-lion dollar renovation to the building, given to the town in 1976. Work includes new interior and exterior lighting, new state-of-the-art heating and cooling systems, new me-chanical systems for the pool and building, new plumbing fixtures, a new men’s locker room and a renovated wom-en’s locker room. Demolition began in the fall and work is expected to be completed by the spring.

The Duxbury Free Library serves the community in a host of ways, including book lend-ing, DVD loaning, and serving as a community meeting place for groups and activities. But behind the scenes it takes a lot of effort to keep the building and programs running.

In addition to the staff and volunteers who work at the library, The Friends of the Library help raise money and awareness. The group was founded in 1976 by Deborah Bornheimer and today the committee consists of 12 board members. The group recently launched a Web site, duxfol.org and and ran a Valentine’s Day-themed contest called “What do you love about the Duxbury Free Library?”

“We are the fundraising; the awareness part of the li-brary,” said Friends President Sarah Keating.

Like many municipal de-partments, libraries around Massachusetts are feeling the squeeze of budget cuts. Many are in danger of losing their certification –– which means

they can’t participate in cross-library lending programs and other benefits.

Certification involves a number of things, including staffing levels and spending, said Keating. Libraries are supposed to increase their bud-get by 2.5 percent every year (although a waiver can be ob-tained from the state) and they must spend a certain amount on new materials. The materi-als budget is a particular item targeted by the Friends.

“Without that, the library wouldn’t have its certifica-tion,” said Katie Brill, the Friends’ children’s liaison.

Brill said people around town often take the library for granted.

“I moved here three years ago and I didn’t know about the library,” she said.

They often fund children’s’ programs during the summer.

They give an average of $20,000 a year to the Library, Keating said. In 2009 alone, the Friends contributed $14,000 for library materials such as books, CDs and DVDs; $4,000 for the children’s summer reading program; and $2,000 for the young adult summer reading program. They also support the Bookmarks Club and give scholarships to high school students.

The Web site is the latest

venture for the group as they try to spread the message to more people.

“We’re really trying to reach out electronically,” Brill said.

The Web site contains in-formation on the Friends, as well as a link back to the li-brary.

“We just tried to make it usable and easy to get around,” said Christine Donnelly, the group’s Webmaster.

Library supporters can also donate to the Friends directly through the Web site. The giv-ing levels were changed this year to allow “micro-dona-tions.” People can donate in amounts as small as 10 dollars –– some were given this year as teacher gifts.

Donnelly said the hits for the Web site have been in-creasing monthly, and people are signing up for the Friends’ Facebook and Twitter feeds.

“It’s been great,” she said. “I think convenience is key.”

The group has been try-ing to get the word out about the Web site and are hoping to expand their public face by adding some merchandise like t-shirts (they already sell a bumper sticker.)

“We have a great library, we just need to work to main-tain it,” said Keating.

Earth-friendly gardens

The Before and After Dark program will present a program on Earth-friendly gardens on Tuesday, March 16. Please call the Before and After Dark office for time, location and cost of the pro-gram.

The lecture will focus on how to create and care for beautiful gardens that are sus-tainable and do no harm to the environment. Some of the subjects that will be discussed in this two-hour illustrated lecture/discussion are:

• Pesticides – Any? None? Why?

• Compost – How to, what materials to put in, how to use.

• Water – Correct amounts for plants and lawns for con-servation and plant health.

• Fertilizers – What kinds, when to use.

• Lawns – Organic vs. chemical fertilizers. Alterna-tives for lawns.

• Best trees and shrubs for environmentally-friendly landscapes.

Students will also have the option to register directly with the instructor for a visit to see and discuss her envi-ronmentally healthy garden.

The program’s instruc-tor is Margaret (Peggy) Con-nors, a certified landscape designer who, for the last 30 years, has been president of Connors Landscape Design, Inc. in Duxbury. She employs sustainable practices in all of the earth-friendly gardens she designs.

Wednesday, February 24, 7:30 PM, at Battelle Memorial Labs, 397 Washington Street, Duxbury, MA

On Saturday, Feb. 20, at 7 p.m. Pilgrim Church welcomes you to a powerful storytelling performance of the Gospel of Mark. Experience the story of Jesus in a new and revealing way in a dramatic performance of word and song by the Reverend Bert Marshall. There is no cost for the performance. Contributions to a goodwill offering supporting ongoing relief efforts in Haiti and our church’s work in Mississippi are gratefully accepted.

Experience the gospel as the first Christian communities might have heard it. For the first churches, the gospel was told aloud. The church gathered around, and the gathering was sa-cred, and the Word was power and life. Most people have prob-ably never read or heard a whole gospel in one sitting, so on that count at least you’re in for a rare treat.

For more information, please visit www.gospelofmarkalive.com. The Reverend Bert Marshall is a graduate of Yale Univer-sity Divinity School. He received top prizes in “religion and the arts” and in “the public recitation of scripture”. Bert was pastor of the First Congregational Church UCC in Lee, Massachusetts from 10 years, and is now New England Regional Director for Church World Service, the international disaster relief and eco-nomic development agency. He committed the Gospel of Mark to memory while on a three-month sabbatical in Halifax, Nova Scotia, in 2003.

Laurie Tessier-Keane, 56, died February 9, at her residence in Edgewood, Ken. She was a summer resident of Duxbury for many years. She was the wife of Jay Keane of Indepen-dence, Ken. and the mother of Jonny Keane of Covington, Ken. She was the daughter of

Ever wonder what you can do to help change the world, beginning with life in your own community? By sharing your family with a high school student from another country, you can help build bridges of intercultural un-derstanding at a time when the world really needs it.

This year, more than 2,500 young people from 50 countries will arrive in the U.S. to study for 11 months in communities across the country. Enjoying daily family life, meals to-gether, and school activities will help make a world of difference to a young visitor who is eager to experience what it’s like to live as a member of a family, school, and community in the US.

Host families open their homes and hearts

to students and provide them with a bed, meals, guidance, and support. Host families also receive the support of local AFS volun-teers and regional AFS staff. Students come with their own spending money and medical coverage and have a desire to participate as ac-tive members of their host families, schools, and communities.

Host an AFS Exchange Student and build bridges of intercultural understanding. It’s a gift you’ll give and receive. Most families have no idea how much they’ll gain until they say yes! To learn more, call Deb Gallagher at 781-834-0708 or email [email protected]. You can also complete a hosting interest form at afsusa.org.

the affordable housing lottery.“He was never in the lot-

tery,” McCluskey said. “He bought the [house] a year and a half after the first sale.”

He was also upset with mentions of the district attor-ney’s involvement in issues surrounding the development, which ZBA Chairman Dennis Murphy said was not true.

“This board has never re-ferred anything beyond this room,” Murphy said.

Murphy asked about the unit being sold to McClus-key’s family member when it was specifically prohibited to sell a unit to the family mem-ber of anyone with a financial interest in the project. While McCluskey said he was paid a flat fee, he said he had no financial stake in the develop-ment itself.

“I don’t have a financial interest and I never have,” McCluskey said.

Murphy pointed out that McCluskey was paid over $129,000 for his work on the project, which McCluskey said was for consultant work.

“Some might think that’s a financial interest in the proj-ect,” said Murphy, who said he only brought the issue up because a CPA looking over the financials for the town had raised the question.

The board also had ques-tions about a relative of Cin-cotta’s who purchased a home in the development and appar-ently sold it for a profit. Cin-cotta said the family member purchased the home for market price but was given a credit of $82,125 because the home was unfinished, thus neutralizing any profit made from the sale of the home.

The board seemed satis-fied with the explanation but wondered why it took so long to get an answer.

“We weren’t looking to publish sensitive informa-tion,” said Murphy. “All we were looking to do was to get to the bottom of this.”

“Mr. Cincotta has pro-vided a perfectly reasonable explanation, but on its face it looked suspect,” added ZBA member Michael Gill. “We’ve been asking for that informa-tion for eight months.”

Cincotta also said he was flustered by a rumor that the house given to his family member was taken away from someone else. That woman, he said, was only initially granted the house in the affordable housing lottery due to an er-ror (she owned property in an-other town, which disqualified her.)

“This information would have been great to have eight months ago,” said Gill.

“I certainly didn’t mean to tarnish anyone’s reputation,” said Murphy. “There was no ill will intended, we only tried to get to the bottom of things.”

While the family issues generated the most heated discussion, the purpose of the public hearing was Cincotta’s request to have bond money from a personal passbook ac-count returned to him. Cincot-ta feels a punch list of items provided by the town’s review engineer, Tom Sexton, was ex-cessive.

“There are many issues Tom identified here that are not industry standard,” he said. “It’s just overkill.”

McCluskey said the devel-oper did not want to work with Sexton anymore, but would work with the town manager or building inspector to re-solve the outstanding issues.

“It’s not going to happen – we’re done with him,” he said.

ZBA members said that the proper course of action would have been to put something in writing so the board and the developer could work on re-

solving the issues.“Tom would not be doing

his job if he did not list every-thing that’s not on the plans or the requirements of the town,” said Dimitri Theodossiou. “It’s easier to kill the messen-ger than the message. He has a list of stuff here that needs to be resolved ... You can’t ig-nore it.”

“You’re not going to get what you want by steamrolling the town’s building inspection, you’re going to have to satis-fy this board,” Murphy said. “You’ve got to work through the issues that have been iden-tified by our engineer.”

McClusky said he felt the town was being unreasonable.

“You may call it steam-rolling, but I call it trying to work things out,” he said. “I call it being ignored.”

Cincotta said that since the passbook he left with the town was in his name (as opposed to a bond, which would be in the

town’s name) Duxbury had no right to keep the money. He said he’s put $60,000 in an ac-count and now there’s nothing left.

“I want an accounting of it,” Cincotta said. “There’s money taken out here illegal-ly.”

“That money was seized for other reasons,” added Mc-Cluskey. “The board has abso-lutely no jurisdiction over that. Mr. Cincotta wants his money back.”

Murphy said that the right procedure in dealing with the

punch list would have been to have both engineers sit down and narrow the list to 5-6 stick-ing points, then toss it back to the board.

“I hold out hope that that can still happen,” he said.

McClusky said the he was willing to come back to the table, but didn’t want to pay Sexton another large sum of money.

“We’re not going to drag this out for another six months,” he said.

The public hearing was continued to March 25.

When Earle Pitt was grow-ing up, his mother asked him what he’d like to do with his life. When he said he’d like to ski, snowboard and play golf all day, his mother scoffed.

“She said, ‘Keep dream-ing pal,’” Pitt said. “Luckily I fell into doing something I love.”

Well, it looks like Pitt has had the last laugh, because now he’s living his dream as the host of the travel show, “The Mountain Report.”

The show, which airs lo-cally on Comcast Sport Net-work, follows Pitt as he takes in the resort experience at ski areas across New England. Segments of the show can also be seen at themountain-report.com.

“We’re showcasing the guest experience at resorts across North America,” he said.

The show isn’t aimed at hardcore skiers, but rather at tourists who might be looking at what a resort has to offer.

A typical show might fea-ture a morning on the slopes, with Pitt and the resorts mar-keting director. This “off the hill” feature, showcases what the resort has to offer away from the ski trails. An after-noon segment might include an excursion like dogsled-ding, or rappelling into an ice cavern.

The show might seem like the ultimate vacation, but Pitt stresses it’s a lot of work.

“The days never end when we’re on the road,” he said.

He just returned from a stretch of 20 mountains in three weeks.

“Sometimes you feel like a ping pong ball.”

The Mountain Report airs six times a year, and each show can include visits to up to three resorts.

Pitt says he doesn’t try to take over the show with a wild personality, like some other sport and travel programs.

“The show’s not about me,” he said. “I’m your av-erage guy experiencing what the resort has to offer.”

In addition to the skiing travel show, Pitt is also the producer of a show called “Golfing The World.” He gets to travel all over the world. However, he said his golf game isn’t much to brag about.

“Golf I play for fun – there’s a reason I’m not the host,” he said.

Pitt went to Duxbury High School and graduated from Bentley in 2004 with a degree in marketing and com-munications. He works for a company in Canton called BCN Productions. He was originally hired as a produc-tion assistant, but on one of his first days on the job, he was unexpectedly thrust in front of the camera as host of the skiing show.

BCN does a host of other work, including producing

sports for Harvard Univer-sity, as well as video for the Boston Cannons, of Major League Lacross.

The company also does work for corporations and ed-ucation, and makes videos for the district attorney’s office.

Pitt loves his job.“I enjoy crowds, and the

social end of business is some-thing I really thrive on,” he said. “The best part of my job is that I get to meet so many

people ... I’ve made friends all over the world.”

Even with all the types of work BCN does, Pitt’s first

love is being out in the cold mountain air skiing or snow-boarding.

“It’s such a free feeling, you can go out on the moun-tain and just lose yourself,” he said. “I don’t hesitate to drive through a storm if I think the snow is going to be good.”

Earle Pitt, a 2000 Duxbury High School graduate, is the host of “The Mountain Report,” which airs locally on Comcast Sports Network. The show features various ski resorts in New England and across the country.

DHS grad is living a life on the slopes

Pitt shows off his snowboarding moves on one of the mountains he visited while filming “The Mountain Report.”

“The show’s not about me ... I’m your average guy experiencing what the resort has to offer.”

A dish for our timesBy miChelle Conway, Clipper Columnist

[email protected]

Fettucini Carbonara is the ideal dish for the times. It can be assembled in under 30 minutes and costs less than $20 to feed four to six people. It is rich, satisfy-

ing and perfect for a cold winter’s night. The key to a spec-tacular carbonara is choosing perfect, high quality ingredients. Purchase whole blocks of Romano and Parmgiano cheese and

use a microplaner or cheese grater to grate the cheese just before preparing the dish.

While pancetta or ba-con can be used, guanciale gives the dish the restaurant quality edge that makes it memorable. Guanciale is an unsmoked, cured, Italian bacon made from the cheek or jowl of the pig. It has

a stronger flavor than bacon or pancetta, but a more delicate texture and fatty consistency that lends itself nicely to the lus-cious richness of a carbonara. Town Butcher Shop (formerly Bradford’s Meats) on Washington Street in Hanover can special order guanciale with three days minimum advance notice. Cured meats such as guanciale can last up to three weeks in the refrigerator if the meat is tightly wrapped; alternatively, it can be frozen and defrosted before making your authentic Roman style carbonara.

Fettucini Carbonara is made with cream in the United States and without cream in its native Rome. The recipe below follows the classic form, using the highest quality ingredients and omits the cream.

Fettucini Carbonara2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil1 clove of garlic, peeled and whole4 ounces of guanciale, pancetta or bacon, diced to ¼” 2 whole large eggs, plus 2 whole egg yolks at room tem-

perature1 lb. best quality fettucini½ cup freshly grated Pecorino Romano cheese½ cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheeseSalt and PepperGrate the cheeses and blend together. Crack the whole eggs

and egg yolks into a bowl, beat the eggs and season with black pepper and pinch of salt. Allow the beaten eggs to come to room temperature. Bring a large pot of water to boil and hold at a boil until ready to cook the pasta. Heat the olive oil in a pot that is large enough to hold all of the pasta once it is cooked. Add the whole garlic clove and the guanciale (or pancetta or bacon). Sauté until crispy brown and the fat is rendered. Re-move the clove of garlic. Cook the pasta according to package directions; drain and reserve a cup of the pasta cooking liq-uid. Add half of the cooked pasta to the pan with the cooked guanciale and add half of the beaten egg and a quarter of the cheese. Toss quickly to combine. Add the remaining egg and cheese. Some of the reserved cooking water from the pasta may be added to loosen up the sauce if needed. Season with salt and lots of freshly ground pepper. Serve immediately with extra grated cheese on the side.

Tidbit: Guanciale can be ordered at Town Butcher Shop, 644 Washington Street, Hanover MA (opposite Starland). 781-826-3100. Same owners, new name, accurate Web site: bradfordmeatshop.com. And: Don’t forget to visit the indoor Farmers Market at Plimoth Plantation on Thursday, Feb. 18, 3- 6:30. Plymouthfarmersmarket.org. Fresh local eggs would give your Carbonara the perfect touch.

Enter the Friendship Club, a group that meets bi-month-ly in the Pilgrim Church on Washington Street.

The Friendship Club is a non-profit group that provides a place for special needs adults to meet with their peers. In ad-dition to the Duxbury club, there are groups in Quincy and Norwell, and a teen group in Scituate. There are about 85 members between all the clubs. Most of the groups have members older than 22 who live at home, but the Scituate club has members from ages 16-21.

“Everyone wants to be-long to something,” said Deb-bie Mastro, who has been the director of the parent organi-zation, the Friendship Home, for 10 years.

A typical meeting of the club lasts about four hours. The members always cook a meal together, and then have a business meeting where they

plan future club activities. Ac-tivities might include bowl-ing, swimming, or a field trip –– the Duxbury club recently held an ice cream social. They also participate in community service activities, and have made cards for the council on aging in the past.

One of the most impor-tant aspects of a Friendship Club meeting, Mastro said, is “share time.” This is when participants share a story, or talk about something they’re going through. Mastro said at a recent meeting, several members had just lost a fam-ily member, and being with friends was a help.

“Coming to Friendship Club gives them the purpose –– of belonging to some-thing,” she said. “They help each other.”

At the Duxbury club’s most recent meeting, mem-bers were working on painting photo frames that will serve as centerpieces for a big gala to be held at Lombardo’s in Ran-

dolph Feb. 25.The gala will raise money

for a permanent Friendship Home, to be located in Nor-well.

Friendship Home, when built, will house local Friend-ship Club activities, educa-tional and vocational day programs and eight units of overnight accommodations in a retreat style center, accord-ing to the group’s Web site.

The home will not be a long-term, permanent resi-dence, but a state of the art, newly constructed home where guests will remain for short periods of time of up to two weeks.

“This is the gala that’s go-ing to let us finish our house,” said Mastro.

Tickets for the gala are $125 and can be purchased online at friendshiphome.net.

The cost to participate in the club itself is $90 for three months.

“Anyone can come visit us,” said Mastro.

Club brings special needs adults together

Cedar Hill Retreat Cen-ter’s future was recently firmly placed in the hands of its new Board of Directors. Back in 1870, Stephen Allen bought land in Duxbury with a dream to transform it into a place for Bostonians to retreat to and re-fresh themselves; today Cedar Hill Retreat Center is ready to fulfill that dream.

Cedar Hill, originally do-nated by Rosamond Allen to the regional Unitarian Uni-versalist association, will now run as a non-denominational retreat and conference center offering meeting space and ac-commodations to guests. On 123. acres of conservation land with a beachfront shoreline, the center is ideal for off-site

planning meetings, commu-nity building retreats, or fam-ily reunions, and is available year round. Cedar Hill Retreat Center is committed to being a haven for not only Bostonians but all who seek a place to re-lax the mind and refresh their soul.

The newly renovated Ce-dar Hill Retreat Center on Standish Street in Duxbury, is owned and operated as a non-profit private foundation, by Cedar Hill Retreat Center, Inc., under the leadership of its Board of Directors: Rich Evans, Rev. Dan King, Peter Nappellio, Sharon Nabreski, Doug Friesen of Duxbury, Deane Howard, Deanna Riley and Rev. Dick Fewkes.

Board President Rich Ev-ans writes, “It would be our pleasure to welcome your group or family as our guests. Come and experience the peaceful nature of our retreat house, the service and hospi-tality of our staff and our se-cluded natural setting for your gatherings and getaways.”

For more information e-mail Cedar Hill Executive Di-rector Laura Howerton at [email protected], or visit cedarhillcenter.org.

lectman three years ago. He has served on the Conserva-tion Commission, and cur-rently sits on the Duxbury Bay Management Commission and the Town Manager Budget Working Group.

“This community has in-spired every part of my life — its people, culture and re-sources have shaped who I am since I was a child,” Dahlen said. “Being a member of the Board of Selectmen offers me a chance to give back to a community that has given me so much. [...] I want to help guide our community through future challenges successful-ly. I want all residents to feel town government is respectful and responsible to the needs of the residents.”

Dahlen said his knowledge of the town and record of pub-lic service have equipped him to bring “balanced leadership and good decision making” to the board.

Will Zachmann of Standish Street, who has also run for the board before, has served on the Planning Board and the Economic Development Committee. While he said he believes the town is at an im-portant juncture, the general tone of recent town politics was something that motivated him to run.

“The last year has been an unusually troublesome one,” he said. “I think we need a little more civility and a little more calm, collected rea-sonably mature attitude than we’ve seen in town govern-ment recently.”

He believes his financial background would serve him well on the board, as well as his independent nature.

“In a small town like this, it really is a matter of sensible judgment and impartiality and not having an ax to grind,” Zachmann said.

James Taylor of Surplus Street is also seeking the seat on the Board of Selectmen. Taylor, who has lived in Dux-bury full-time since the late

’50s, said he knows the town well and wants to encourage discussion on the board, not just argument.

“I’m running primarily be-cause I think Duxbury needs some attention, and no matter how strong your engine is, you need a good spark plug. I’ve been that,” he said.

Taylor is a member of the senior men’s group at the Dux-bury Senior Center and volun-teers his time to coordinate multiple blood drives every year.

There is also a crowded field in the School Committee race. Four people are seeking the two seats vacated by Wong and Cipoletti.

Christine McLaughlin of Ryan’s Lane has been involved with youth sports in Duxbury, volunteers in the schools and is on the Start Time Imple-mentation Committee.

“I’m running to bring the community and parents back into the School Committee process,” she said.

“Although it would be silly and unnecessary to hold a referendum on every little is-sue, we can do better soliciting parental opinion. The School Committee should consider the sentiment and voice of the community. Open communi-cation is key and should be the foundation of the School Committee.”

Colleen Brayer of Tobey Garden Street is a Finance Committee member who ran for the school board three years ago.

Brayer said she under-stands the point of view of parents put off by recent con-troversies at the school, but pointed out she’s worked with the administration before (on the high-end learner pilot pro-gram) and feels she can be a consensus builder.

“I’ve been in the shoes of the people who are not happy. I’ve felt that before [not being listened to,]” she said. “I think I can work with everybody on the board, I’ve worked with the administration [...] I think I’m a team player.”

She said she’s looking for-ward to tackling the big chal-lenges before the school board such as hiring a new super-intendent and looking at new school buildings.

Gary Magnuson of Hidden Acres Drive is a 10-year resi-dent who has been involved in youth sports and other chari-table organizations around town.

“I think we’ve got a good system, but a town like Dux-bury should have a great sys-tem,” he said. “We have vari-ous potential building projects in front of us. I think that will require careful leadership.”

He said the school has an important decision to make in selecting a new superinten-dent.

“I look at this as an op-portunity for a fresh start,” he said. “We want to find a leader who can bring new ideas and take us to the next level.”

Mary Lou Buell of May-flower Street is a teacher in Weymouth. She has been co-chairwoman of the Chandler School Council and serves on the Start Time Implementation Committee.

“I just really love educa-tion, it’s my passion,” she said.

She says she has a “com-mitment to service,” and she feels the School Committee is the best way for her to give back to her community and the schools.

“I’m not the fundrais-ing type, I’m not the arts and crafty type,” she said. “This is how I feel I can best serve the community.”

Friend Weiler of Trout Farm Road and Gregory Hunt-er of Herring Weir Road are running to replace Bornheim-er, who was the town modera-tor for 24 years.

Several candidates are running unopposed: Town Clerk Nancy Oates, James MacNab of the Board of As-sessors, John Bear of the Plan-ning Board, Library trustees Theodore Flynn and Laura Sullivan, and John Todd of the Housing Authority.

The election will take place on March 27. The nomi-nation process is closed, but candidates can withdraw from the ballot until Feb. 24.

I was shocked to read Se-lectman Donato’s call for an Attorney General

review of the request for pro-posal process that was conduct-ed last year in the search for the best solution for the town of Duxbury in management of North Hill Golf Course.

All members of the North Hill Advisory Committee have given a tremendous amount of personal time and attention to assist in this RFP process with only the best interests of the town as the foremost goal. Additionally, both Richard McDonald (town manager) and Gordon Cushing (recreation di-rector) have been deeply com-mitted to following the rules

and laws surrounding the RFP process. Their professionalism, support and integrity have nev-er come into question.

As you know, Johnson Golf Management and the town of Duxbury are currently in a court battle and for Donato to bring this up in a public forum with no real education on what transpired during the process of ultimately not selecting John-son Golf Management Com-pany is maddening. From what I understand, he was given one packet of information from the plaintiff which, to me, does not give him the right to call for a review by the Attorney Gen-eral. Whose side is Donato on anyway?

You would think he would be looking out for the best in-terest of the town he represents, or at least educate himself completely before making such a ridiculous recommendation. Maybe he’s friends with Doug Johnson; maybe he hates golf in Duxbury; or just maybe he has a bone to pick with some-one closely involved in over-seeing this golf course and the current RFP process? What-ever the reason, his actions are clearly unacceptable and I truly hope he regrets the comments he made.

approachesThe ballot (for the most part) is set. Duxbury voters

will have a choice at the ballot box on March 27 in several important races. Between now and the

election, we’ll hear from the candidates on a variety of issues. But as one candidate said in this week’s election coverage, Duxbury is at an important juncture. Here are a couple things to watch as the Town Meeting and election season develops:

• Building the future: Some of the biggest issues facing Duxbury involve facilities. The police and fire departments have been coming back to Town Meeting for several years now, trying to find a proposal that will give Duxbury’s public safety workers the buildings they deserve while satisfying the taxpayers. At the same time, the schools’ buildings are looming on the horizon. They’re all deserving projects, competing for an increasingly limited funds from increasingly stressed out taxpayers. The next round of elected leaders, both on the Board of Selectmen and School Committee, will have to take charge on these issues.

• A change at the podium: One of the more interesting races this season is for town moderator. Interesting because it’s the first time in nearly 25 years that Duxbury will be seeing anyone other than Allen Bornheimer behind the podium at Town Meeting. It’s an important role in Duxbury, and Mr. Weiler and Mr. Hunter will have their work cut out for them.

• Back to school: Whoever wins the two open School Committee seats might have the toughest task of all. There’s a disconnect between the parents and the district that will take some serious public relations work to solve, and on top of everything, two brand new members will have to vote to hire the next superintendent-talk about on-the-job training.

• Set the tone: A couple of the candidates we spoke to this week talked about bringing back civility into government discussion. The last year certainly saw Duxbury wrestle with a lot of complex issues, and heard from people who were passionate about their beliefs. Although open discussion is always good, it seems some are still smarting from the tenor of the controversies, rather than the substance. Duxbury clearly has a lot of big issues to tackle. Let’s hope we can take on these challenges together, as a community.

We thank the m a n a g e m e n t of Foodie’s at

Hall’s Corner and their many generous customers for a very successful food drive to ben-efit local food pantries in Dux-bury, Kingston, and Plymouth on Saturday, Jan. 30.

Our Kingston First Parish Youth Group and their advi-sors and other adult volunteers from Duxbury First Parish distributed a shopping list cre-

ated by the pantry staff that in-cluded products most needed by the pantry. Dozens of shop-pers used the list to buy a huge quantity – over 535 pounds of food and household items and $104 in donations that were then transported to the pantry warehouse at the South Shore Action Council in Plymouth.

The number of families the Council serves has increased substantially due to rising un-employment, making food do-

nations more necessary than ever. Duxbury’s First Parish Church joined with Kingston’s First Congregational Parish to sponsor this local food drive, which was one of many drives conducted by several other South Shore Unitarian Uni-versalist Congregations on the same date.

I’m responding to Mr. Cipolletti’s Duxbury Clipper article “Can we

go from good to great”? Mr. Cipolletti argues that a small tax increase should be consid-ered to pay for better schools.

Rather than imposing (or limiting) a small tax increase, why not offer Duxbury resi-dents the option of paying more taxes for schools? On

their tax assessment bill, Dux-bury residents could be given the option to pay an additional $50, $100, $250 or an amount they can “write in”. Extra money collected would be ear-marked for school use.

There’d be no individual limit to the amount that could be contributed, while being sensitive to others who’s cir-cumstances may limit their

contribution. I would argue that this approach, in the long run, would bring in more mon-ey than an imposed but limited small tax increase. Everyone would contribute as much as they could to support schools going “from good to great.”

Webelos from Pack 1776 of participated in

this year’s Cranberry Harbors Klondike Derby. The event was held on January 23 at Camp Squanto in Plymouth, (Myles Standish State For-est). The Klondike Derby is an annual event held by the Boy Scouts of America during the winter months that is based on the heritage of the Klondike Gold Rush. Saturday’s derby consisted of 10 stations where 45 Webelos patrols from the Old Colony Council district were tested on their scout-ing skills and leadership abili-ties, earning points towards a total score. Each patrol was responsible for organizing and transporting their required gear on a sled that was made by pa-trol members and their fami-lies. Patrols moved their sled from station to station, demon-strating their knowledge of first aid, cooking, knot tying, fire building, knife safety, natural-ist training, flag folding, map and compass skills and more.

Pack 1776 had the follow-ing four patrols:

Happy Campers, Den 9Flaming Waffles, Den 3Rampaging Roadrunners,

Den 3Black Dragons, Den 2

The four patrols brought home one gold, two silvers and one bronze place finish. It was a fun and exciting event for all who braved the cold weather.

By Lamont “monty” HeaLy CLipper ContriButor

Did James M. Cain, author of “Mildred Pierce,” visit

Duxbury in the 1920s and 1930s?

I believe that he prob-ably did, and conceived in his mind the characters for his novel when he met or heard about Mildred A. “MA” Pierce. Cain, after working for The Baltimore Sun, moved to New York in 1924, where he wrote editorials for the New York World, wrote articles for The American Mercury and briefly served as managing editor of The New Yorker. He left New York for Hollywood in 1931 to be-come a screenwriter at $400 a week – too good to pass up.

During Cain’s time in New York. Mildred Pierce ran her restaurant in Duxbury from 1924 to 1929 next to the Swee-tser’s building in Snug Harbor. In 1929 she moved her busi-ness to the current location of the Milepost Restaurant and Tavern at Tremont and Chest-nut Streets, where she stayed until she sold it in 1946. In the 1920s and early 1930s, Dux-bury was a desired location for actors, actresses, writers, and celebrities of all types. Cain was a notorious drinker and womanizer, and this was the era of prohibition, so you couldn’t make liquor, sell it or transport it, but you could drink it in a private setting. Mildred A.’s daughter, Nina, recalled that guests from New York would come annually and sit

around Mildred’s kitchen, swapping stories. I can imag-ine Cain right there with a pint in his back pocket, looking for ideas. It is also worthy of note that his third and fourth wives were an actress, and an opera singer. Cain’s second wife, self described as the great love of his life, was Elina Sjosted Tyszecka. Is there a Massa-chusetts or Duxbury connec-tion there? All three of his best-selling novels were writ-ten while he was married to her, from 1927 to 1942.

Another way that Cain may have heard about Mil-dred’s story is when he went

to Hollywood. He loved to hang around the Paramount Commissary and talk to other

screenwriters. According to Cain’s biographer Cain got the idea for “Mildred Pierce” from a screen-writer friend who sug-gested there was “one story that never fails, the woman who uses men to gain her ends.” Al-though this d e s c r i b e s

Mildred, it is a little too

general for me. Cain wrote “The

Postman Always Rings Twice” in 1934, the first of the big com-mercial books in American publishing history. “Postman,” wrote Roy Hoopes, was “what might be called the grand slam of the book trade: a hard-cover best-seller, paperback best-seller, syndication, play and movie.” He also wrote “Double Indem-nity” in 1936. These two stories Cain derived from the 1927-1928 trial of “Tiger Woman” Ruth Snyder, and her lover Judd Gray, for the murder of her husband, Albert. It seems that Ruth purchased personal injury insurance on her hus-band and “double indemnity” in the event of his death. She instructed the postman to de-liver payment coupons only to her, ringing the doorbell twice as a signal. So, two of his best-selling books were suggested

by real life situations, why not the third? Although we do not, as yet, know his specific locations, Mildred’s husband, Charles W. Pierce, moved to California. Could he have met up with Cain?

Beyond the two names being identical, the events of Mildred A.’s life and “Mildred

Pierce” are eerily similar. Both of their husbands built houses for a living. Both were separated and ran restau-rants by them-selves. Mil-dred Pierce, the book and movie char-acter, had two d a u g h t e r s ,

Veda, 11 and Ray, 7; after 1931-2 Mildred A. only had two daughters (11 and 7) living at home (she had six children in total). Both had a daughter who “took away” their boyfriend. Coincidenc-es? I think not! As our vener-able town clerk Nancy Oates says, “There is no such thing as coincidence.”

As to Mildred A.’s rela-tionship with her children, we know little. It could be said that they were spoiled (as Mildred’s were in the book). From all outward appearances they were “dressy,” according to a classmate of theirs. They would wear dresses and high heels to school while the rest of the girls dressed in skirts

Henry Winsor was born, lived, and died in Duxbury, 1803 to 1898. He lives

on today as the founder, along with George and Georgianna Wright, of the Duxbury Free Library. The only restriction on his bequest: “No novels, and no romance!”

No romance at the library? Emily Bryan, Dalton Diaz, and Marie Force might have something to say about that. They led the Valentine’s Day

edition of the Library’s Sunday Salon Series, joined by their friend, Duxbury native Hannah (Morton) Howell. All are successful romance writers, with multiple published works (Hannah has 50 novels and novellas to her credit.)

Head of Circulation Carol Jankowski introduced the group while Director Elaine Winquist stood by. Carol’s plan of “light moderating” worked perfectly, with each of the three panelists sharing a little about her particular style and career, and everyone fielding questions from the audience – many women and four men.

The romance genre is, body and soul, for and about women. The authors, in round-robin style, described the salient points. Above all, romance

Those with questions may call the society at 781-934-6106.

Showing of Historical Society mini-documentary


is character-driven, not plot-driven. Plots are fairly standard. Variety and interest are born in the variations on the theme, in the details of scene and era (which must be accurate), and most especially in the development of (usually – wink! wink!) two characters: the bright and resourceful heroine and her powerful, tenderizing consort. Neither figure can be an airhead, nor a meathead. Both must be fully dimensional, fascinating and by the end, hopelessly in love. Indeed, since every romance reader knows and loves the basic outline before the next book is even written, the art all comes into “how” they get together forever in the end, not “whether.”

A few essential points: Modern romances are not your great-grandmother’s leisure reading. For most “lines” – the publisher’s grouping of authors and books by theme and style – sex is both explicit and fairly frequent. With the exception of Christian romance, a sub-genre, when the bedroom door closes (if it does) the reader now gets the rest of the story. The difference between modern romance and mere porn is clear. All three writers agreed. Romance requires relationship, real, intense, and ultimately enduring. Porn abhors relationship. Romance sex, too, is written and experienced from the standpoint of what women want, not what men imagine.

Second point: As it has since Jane Austen’s masterpieces, romance requires the HEA ending: happily ever after. There are no exceptions. WB stories are despised. Those are “wall-bangers,” stories that get your hopes committed, only to dash them at the end. You throw the book against the wall.

Third point: On the other hand, there’s a lot of room for variety under the romance tent. Dalton’s stories will singe your eyebrows, your fingers, and – you get the idea. Emily told me that the trade organization – Romance Writers of America – includes writers with diverse adult sexual orientations, and while the vast power of the market remains in the hands of heterosexual monogamous women and a growing number of their men, other sub-genres are embraced.

Fourth point: Nobody “churns out” romances. Each author told a version of Marie’s story. It took her five years to write her first novel, and she wrote seven before her first was published. But they all agree that the support they get from one another is outstanding. They each have websites (just “google” their names), and Emily’s devotes a full seven pages to supports for aspiring writers. Yes, the market is tight for new writers, but support is there, too. Indeed, I saw it in the panel: not rivalry, but appreciation and friendship, the deepest sources (with love and spice) of the happiest endings.

Books of lovecontinued from page one

and sweaters. Mildred, in the book and the movie spoiled her daughter Veda, and Veda didn’t return any of her love and took up with Mildred’s husband, whom Mildred had just divorced. A man she had married specifically to get Veda to come home, because the daughter craved a high-society lifestyle and Mildred’s second husband was all of that. The gossip in Duxbury indicates Mildred A. seems to have suffered a similar fate in real life. Both the women and the fictional character seem not to have been good at choosing their men, but the Mildred in the book used her men to get the things she wanted, and it would not surprise me if the

real Mildred A. did the same.One thing that Cain did

that is a bit unusual was in his disclaimer for “Mildred Pierce” he wrote, “The locale of this book is California (au-thor added emphasis)… the characters, however, are imag-inary, as are the situations, ... they do not represent, and are

not intended to represent, actu-al persons, events, or places,” (specifically turning the reader away from Duxbury.) In his book “Cain X3” (three of his best-selling novels) he did not provide any disclaimer for the other two stories.

Cain wrote “Mildred Pierce” in 1941, right after he was released from his screen-writer’s contract with Para-mount Studios. The story was made into a movie in 1945, starring Joan Crawford. The book was not as big a suc-cess as his other two, but the movie was well received and Joan Crawford won an Acad-emy Award for her lead per-formance.

Mildred A. Pierce sold the restaurant in 1946 and retired.

She died in 1951 at the age of 65, and is buried in Mayflower Cemetery with four of her six children. Her husband Charles W. Pierce came back to Dux-bury to sign off on Mildred A.’s restaurant and house, giv-ing his residence as “Duxbury” and referring to Mildred A. as his “wife.” We know nothing of him after that.

It is hard not to love or at least empathize with Mildred after reading the book; you might put it on your book and movie list (both available at the Duxbury Free Library). And if anyone knows more about this story, we’d all love to hear it. That’s the story, fact or fiction, you decide!

I’m sold!

The Duxbury girls’ hockey team was on the verge of cap-turing the SEMGHL title with two games to go in the regular season, then watched their bid for an outright championship go down the tubes in a 2-1 loss to Falmouth on Thursday night on the Cape.

Having beaten the Clip-pers by a 5-3 score to start the New Year, the Lady Dragons knew their hosts weren’t going to be pushovers. Little did they

realize that despite their domi-nance (46-16 shots on net), putting the puck in the net was the only thing that mattered.

Playing a scoreless tie through two periods, the Lady Dragons finally put one on the scoreboard when Briana Con-nolly broke the tie in the first minute of the third period.

Duxbury would hold onto its precarious lead for most of the period until there was less than seven minutes to go in the game. Falmouth would tie it at 1-1, and Shalyn Callahan would score the game-winner on a break-away with 3:17 to go.

It was a damaging loss for the Lady Dragons, who now needed a win over Sandwich to share the league title.

The Blue Knights came into the game with the league’s top two scorers in Michaela Igo (38 goals/9 assists) and Katherine O’Brien (7/27), and only needed a tie to capture the crown outright.

It didn’t take Sandwich long to get on the board, as O’Brien took advantage of a defensive mistake in the Dux-bury end less than three min-utes into the game.

A shot from the point was headed toward goaltender Julia Hannon, but deflected off the stick of a Duxbury defender, putting Hanlon in a defense-less position and allowing O’Brien to put her shot into an empty net for a 1-0 lead.

The Lady Dragons would get two power play chances in the second half of the first period, failing to capitalize

on the first, but scoring on the second when freshman Han-nah Murphy beat Sandwich goaltender Kells Casey by putting in a rebound on a shot from the corner with 3: 42 left in the period.

The second period started with Duxbury on a roll, as Murphy’s blast was just wide of the net and a 2-on-1 break-away was foiled by Casey.

A Sandwich power-play at 9:53 killed the Lady Drag-ons’ momentum, but Connolly came out of the box as the penalty ended and almost beat Casey for the go-ahead goal.

Connolly continued to be a pest, as she went in alone at the 7:35 mark, and almost ended her extended shift by jamming one past Casey.

Connolly’s next shift proved far more fruitful, as Murphy rushed through center ice and split the Sandwich de-fense, firing on net and having the rebound come out to her linemate, who beat Casey for the go-ahead goal with 5:21 to go in the period.

It took just six seconds for Sandwich to get a chance to tie the game when they went on the power-play. Forty sec-onds later they had a two-man advantage when the Duxbury defense was called for hold-ing. Great penalty killing by junior defensemen Keri Gould and Olivia McCarthy, along with sophomore forward Mary Margaret Donovan, kept the Blue Knights off the board and preserved Duxbury’s 2-1 lead after two periods.

Play was up and down to start the third period until Sandwich went on the power-play with 10:37 to go. With the puck along the right boards, a centering pass came flying thru the face-off circle and found the stick of a Sandwich forward, who was all alone in front, but unable to corral the puck.

Just 5:19 remained in the game when the Blue Knights tied it up with a long clearing pass from the defensive zone that found its way to the left wing side. A pass to the slot beat Hannon and the game was tied at 2-2.

Molly O’Sullivan had a golden opportunity with 4:25 to go when she broke down the left wing and was stopped by Casey, and with 2:53 to go Sandwich got a lucky break when no call was made after one of their forwards fell on a loose puck in the crease.

The tie gave Sandwich the league crown temporarily, but

they let it slip away when they lost to Whitman-Hanson/Pem-broke on Sunday and now will have to settle for a share of the league crown along with the Lady Dragons.

Duxbury will now wait for the pairings for the MIAA Di-vision II tournament that will be announced on Friday.

“We came out tight to-night,” said Coach Friend Weiler. “You can’t do that against a strong team like Sandwich, and when we did have our chances, we didn’t capitalize. We’ll learn from this game and hopefully it will make us better for the tourna-ment. We also have to realize that we need to stay out of the penalty box, because the room for error is so minute, that it can cost you when you play a team like Sandwich. Howev-er, I do want to give them all the credit in the world. They played a solid game and they won when they had to.”

A big come-from-behind win over Hingham (62-61) on Thursday night has the Drag-ons on a roll as they get ready for post-season play. The mo-mentum from that win carried over to Sunday night when Duxbury cruised to a 72-55 win over Oliver Ames in the first round of the IAABO Tour-nament at Bridgewater State College.

Oliver Ames (11-6) is rat-ed as the #9 team in the Boston Globe’s South rankings, while the Dragons (14-4) don’t even draw a mention. After Sunday

night’s win, Duxbury might now get some notice.

The Dragons had a defi-nite height advantage on the Tigers, and the officials took note early, as they whistled Aaron Kramer for two fouls in the first minute and a half, oblivious to the fact that the 6’7” center was quite taller than his defenders.

It wasn’t just Kramer who was the subject of the officials’ wrath, but all the Dragons took the abuse, as Duxbury was hit with 10 fouls in the first quar-ter, while OA was assessed one.

Despite being saddled with early fouls, the Dragons actu-ally led until the Tigers went on a 7-0 run to take a 13-8 lead.

Junior forward Connor Kindregan came off the bench and contributed immediately,

scoring five points in the final three minutes and combining with senior C.J. Cote to narrow the gap to 17-15 at the end of the first quarter.

OA’s running game had been giving Duxbury fits, but it started to slow down mid-way through the second quarter when the Dragon defense took over and controlled the boards. A Kindregan basket with four minutes left in the half turned the game around, as the Drag-ons were off and running the rest of the night.

Seven points by Brian Grossman in the final three minutes seemed to take the Ti-gers out of their game, as Dux-bury went to the locker room with a 35-30 halftime lead.

Duxbury opened the sec-ond half with a 10-5 run, fu-

eled in large part by Kramer’s seven points and tight defense inside.

OA crept to within six at 47-41 with two minutes left in the third quarter, but Billy Cur-ley and Kramer produced a 6-0 run for a 12-point lead with eight minutes to go.

Ethan Miller got the deficit below double digits when he opened the final quarter with three points, but a 6-0 Dux-bury run put it back to 59-45 with just over four minutes re-maining.

Kramer would control the boards the rest of the way, put-ting him at the foul line on three occasions for seven points and a 68-53 lead with 1:46 to go.

The senior had a big night for the Dragons with 22 points, while Grossman (15) and Cur-ley (12) were also instrumental in the win.

There was a sign of re-lief on the faces of the Lady Dragons, as they took the floor against Hingham on Friday night in Duxbury.

Having qualified for post-season play with a 64-45 win over North Quincy two nights earlier, Coach Mark Dunn’s girls were all smiles in the pre-game warm-ups, knowing they had accomplished a goal that few thought was possible.

It was also senior night for Duxbury, and Nikki Worthman had the stage to herself in the pre-game ceremonies, as she is the only senior on the squad.

Having beaten the Harbor-women earlier in the season with a 52-40 win in Hing-ham, Duxbury was hoping for

a season sweep, along with a morale boost heading into the play-offs.

Freshman Michela North got her team off and running in the first couple of minutes, teaming with Worthman for a 6-2 lead. However, Hingham’s Sarah Fisher showed she would be a problem all night long, as she scored all of her team’s 10 first-quarter points to give the visitors a 10-9 lead at the end

of the first period.Junior Maggie Dunn and

North would open the second quarter to give Duxbury a 13-10 lead, only to see Hingham

rally and go ahead, as the score went back and forth for most of the second quarter.

Junior Devon Tsinzo nailed a three-pointer and North fol-lowed with another basket for a 23-17 lead with 2:01 left in the half for Duxbury’s biggest lead of the night. However, the Harborwomen responded with a six-point run in the final two minutes and tied the game at 23-23 at halftime.

Fisher would can a pair of baskets to open the second half for a 27-23 lead, giving Hing-ham a lead they would never relinquish.

Every time Duxbury got close, Hingham would re-spond, as the lead never got to more than three points the rest of the third quarter.

Holding a 38-36 lead to open the fourth quarter, Fisher and Katharine Alger opened the lead to six points before Maggie Norton broke their six-point streak at 42-38.

Hingham was starting to pull away, as a 6-2 run put the score at 48-40 with four min-utes remaining.

Duxbury rallied with a North free throw and baskets by Tsinzo and Norton to cut the lead to 48-45 with 1:40 left on the clock, only to watch as senior Alicia Maccarrone hit a basket in the closing seconds for an insurmountable five-point lead.

North had a big game for the Lady Dragons with 20 points, while Fisher torched the hosts for 26 points.

After taking on Sandwich on Monday night, Duxbury will know wait for the an-nouncement of the Division II South Sectional pairings to be made on Thursday.

Duxbury youth baseball mandatory leveling day


By Wendy Genereux, CLipper ContriButor

The Duxbury wrestling team may not have crowned a champion at Saturday’s Divi-sion II South Sectionals held at North Attleboro High School, but there certainly were some surprises for the Dragons.

One of those surprises was sophomore Mikkel Linskey, who pinned his way to the finals in the 130 lbs. weight class. After pinning Milton’s Ryan Madden in the first round, Linskey upset the #2 seed in Nauset’s Jarrod Olson with a third- period pin. That set up a rematch with Silver Lake sophomore Dominic Vito, who Linskey had pinned in a recent Patriot League match. Linskey’s single-leg takedown was working, and he quickly earned a first-peri-od takedown. Working off his new-found confidence from

his previous match, Linskey recorded his third pin of the day, giving him a spot in the finals against the #1 seeded Mike MacNeil of Marshfield.

This time Linskey met his match, having lost to MacNeil at the team Sectionals last week. MacNeil jumped out to a quick lead, and extended it to 12-5 in the third period. However, the never-say-die Linskey closed the gap to 12-7 with a set of back points. With the Duxbury faithful on its feet, Linskey turned the Ram grappler again, and appeared to have the pin and the win, but he did not get the call. The near fall was not enough, as MacNeil hung on to win a 12-

10 decision and the champion-ship.

Another surprise for Dux-bury was senior captain Rob-ert Kates, who has battled injuries all season in the 125 lbs. weight class. The senior captain won a close 3-0 deci-sion over Nauset’s Joey Bat-tista in the quarterfinals, only to face the #2 seed in W-H’s Colin McSweeney in the semi finals. Kates had seemingly hit a roadblock, having lost twice by pin at the hands of the tal-ented Panther grappler. How-ever, Kates was determined to put the past behind him, be-lieving that the third time is in-deed the charm. Kates got the first takedown, and mounted a 6-2 lead before McSweeney was called for unsportsman-like conduct, giving the Dux-bury captain two more points en route to a 14-8 upset win. Kates lost 5-2 in the finals to

North Attleboro’s Joe Krzyzek to take second.

Senior captain Tim Dono-ghue went into the Sectionals as a two-time champion in the 103 lbs. weight class, but this time he was hoping for the same result at 119 lbs. The #1 seeded Donoghue barely broke a sweat on his way to the finals, winning by technical fall over Nauset’s Peter Botford, and by a 26-second pin over Oliver Ames junior Max Jacobs in the semi finals. That set up a rubber match between Donoghue and Sandwich senior captain Sam Cordeiro in the finals. Dono-ghue got the first takedown, but Cordeiro tied the match up with a reversal. Neither wres-

tler could get any back points, but Cordeiro pulled away with two takedowns and an escape, while Donoghue could only muster two escapes in the sec-ond and third periods. With the 7-4 loss, Donoghue earned an-other second-place finish for Duxbury.

Senior captain John McGeady came into Section-als as the #4 seed, and took home a third-place finish for Duxbury in the 160 lbs. weight class. McGeady pinned Oliver Ames sophomore Matt Hard-ing in the quarterfinals, only to be pinned by Nauset’s Eric Zavalcofsky in the semi-finals. McGeady fought his way back to the medal round by pin-ning Marshfield’s Jake Ryan and W-H’s Chris Kallum, who had beaten the Duxbury senior captain twice before by pin.

Junior Pat Donovan had a seesaw time of it in the 140 lbs. weight class. Donovan pinned Sharon’s Russell Lock in the first round, but lost a tough 7-6 decision to North Attleboro’s Shane Devlin in the quarterfinals. In the conso-lation bracket, Donovan won a 5-0 decision over Sandwich’s Jon Sauder, and benefited by an injury default in his next match. With third place on the line, Donovan had a re-match with Devlin, but the Duxbury grappler didn’t have enough in the tank, losing by a 14-5 major decision, giving him a fourth-place finish.

Another surprise for Dux-bury was freshman hopeful Jake Genereux, who came into Sectionals as the #3 seed in the 112 lbs. weight class. Unfortunately for the fresh-man grappler, after winning by pin in the quarterfinals, he faced North Attleboro’s Shane LeBlanc in the semi-finals. Leblanc, the eventual 112-lbs. champion, went on to a 10-1 major decision. Next up for Genereux was Marsh-field junior Josh Fitzpatrick. After the Ram grappler got the first takedown, Genereux went ahead 6-2 with two sets of back points. The Duxbury freshman appeared to be cruis-ing along when he got too high on top, and was rolled to his back, and pinned. Genereux rallied with a pin of his own,

but the talented freshman had to settle for a disappointing fifth-place finish.

In addition, earning fifth place finishes for Duxbury were freshman Nick Kates (103) and senior Conor Clark (152). Kates showed resil-ience after losing in the first round by pin to Stoughton’s Steve Colling. In the conso-lation bracket, Kates won by a 14-4 major decision over W-H’s Brody DeMinico, but lost a 6-1 decision to Somer-set’s #2-seed Darrell Shing. Kates’ day was not done, as he hung on to beat North Attle-boro’s Cam Burns with a 2-0 decision, giving him a well-

deserved fifth-place finish.Clark also took a similar

but more difficult path en route to a respectable fifth-place fin-ish. The Duxbury senior won a 5-1 decision over Somerset’s Sean Angelini, only to lose by pin in the quarterfinals to W-H’s Derek Cavender. In the consolation bracket, Clark pinned Silver Lake’s Brian Scolomerio and beat Plym-outh North’s Brandon Parks with a 12-6 decision. Clark then lost by pin to Nauset’s Dan D’Amour, but came back to pin Milton’s Ryan Barrett, giving him a shot at compet-ing in the D2 States this Friday in Marshfield.

Eight wrestlers head to states

Senior captain and two-time Sectional champion Tim Donoghue closed out his remarkable wrestling career in the 119 lbs. weight class with a second-place finish at Sectionals, and was named a Patriot League All-Star for the third consecutive year.

Junior Pat Donovan led the team in takedowns this season. The football and lacrosse player showed his athleticism on the mat in the 140 lb. weight class, finishing fourth at Sectionals.

Senior captain Robert Kates overcame a tough season in the 125 lbs. weight class with a second place finish at the DII South Sectionals. Kates also qualified for States as a sophomore.

Freshman Jake Genereux was a force in and around the league in the 112 lb weight class, registering 22 wins against 5 losses in the regular season, while also being named a Patriot League All-Star.
