For 28 years, he has pre-sided over Town Meeting with humor, impartiality, knowl-

edge and his t r a d e m a r k bow-tie. But after the gavel was pounded to close this

year’s annual Town Meeting, Town Moderator Allen Born-heimer gave up the podium for

good.“ H e

has led us t h r o u g h passionate exchanges with unfail-ing humor and has al-ways done

it for the best interests of the town,” said Board of Select-men Chairwoman Betsy Sul-livan on Town Meeting floor this Saturday.

Bornheimer seemed moved by the ovation he received from the crowd, as well as a procla-mation from the town and the state, the latter presented by representatives Tom Calter and Daniel Webster.

“I’ve been to many, many Town Meetings over the years and I can tell you there is no moderator that conducts the theatre of Town Meeting with more dignity and more conge-niality than Allen Bornheim-er,” said Webster.

When Calter asked if he should read the entirety of the House of Representative’s proclamation into the record, Bornheimer –– ever the mod-erator –– joked that he “had five minutes.”

“I loved the job,” Bornh-neimer said later. “It was a lot of fun and I will miss it.”

He said that the quality of Duxbury’s decision making was always what made Town Meetings a pleasure to preside over.

“The thing that has always made me feel good was when there were difficult issues, we had first rate presentations and debate,” he said.

A particular memory that stands out is during the 1980s, when difficult budgets and the restrictions of Proposition 2 1/2 had the schools and other town departments at each other’s throats. At one Town Meet-ing, school proponents had the

numbers to pass amendments easily. One man got up and proposed adding money to the school budget, but his fellow school parents said no.

“That to me was real states-manship,” Bornheimer said. “They said, ‘we’ve all got to live together here.’”

He said that over the years, he has been impressed with the preparation that goes into Town Meeting.

“Everybody puts in a huge amount of work,” he said. “I think the quality of decision making at our town meetings is excellent.”

He said that the one piece of advice he’d pass on to the next moderator would be to stress preparation.

“Preparation, preparation, preparation. That’s what I tell my committees too,” he said. “If an issue comes up, I want to know what’s going on.”

Although Bornheimer said that he has always seen his role as an impartial arbiter of the Town Meeting forum, his contributions have not gone unnoticed.

“They say a moderator is not supposed to impact the outcome of town meeting,” said Tom Calter when present-ing the commendation from the House. “They say a mod-erator is supposed to facilitate a fair and open process, but the reality is, in Allen’s case, you have impacted the outcome by bringing civility, a high level of preparation, integrity and honor to the process.”

As for the future of Town

Meeting, as citizens become less interested in government and attendance dwindles, Bornheimer says he hopes the open town meeting in Dux-bury preserves, and that the town doesn’t move to a rep-resentative town meeting or other form of government. He believes in citizens taking an active role.

“There is no perfect way to make a decision,” he said. “I happen to think this [open town meeting] is as good a way as any.”

Whatever happens in the future, Bornheimer owns a chunk of Duxbury’s Town Meeting history after giving nearly 30 years of service. As a final tribute, dozens of town officials and citizens showed up to the Performing Art Cen-ter on Saturday wearing –– what else –– bow-ties.

The two major purchases under the Community Preser-vation Act stirred some spir-ited debate on Town Meet-ing floor about separation of church and state issues, and whether public money should be used on private property.

At the end of the night, Town Meeting voters approved a request to use $50,000 in Community Preservation Act

funding to help restore windows at the First Par-ish Church on Tremont

Street, and gave the thumbs up to spending $90,000 for the first phase of a restoration project at Camp Wing’s Issac Keene Barn.

The Finance Committee and Fiscal Advisory Commit-tee both recommended against using the money for the church. The Board of Select-men and the Community Pres-ervation Committee approved of the article.

“In general, public funds should not be used for pri-vate purposes,” said Kim O’Sullivan of the Fiscal Advi-sory Committee.

O’Sullivan said her group felt the public benefit from the church (First Parish hosts the high school baccalaureate cel-ebration as well as the town’s Memorial Day services) sim-ply wasn’t enough to justify spending Community Preser-vation Act funds.

Pat Slechta of First Parish pointed out that the church is a well-known historic build-ing in Duxbury. The project would restore the 10 windows of the church, which are 14 feet high and contain 72 indi-vidual panes of glass. There is concern the windows may be blown in by a severe storm.

“It is a crowning example of Duxbury’s civic architec-tural heritage,” she said. “Al-though the church is owned by the congregation ... It is also a civic and historic resource for the town.”

She pointed out that the church isn’t seeking public money for the entire project. The total cost of the renova-

tions is $106,000 –– the rest will be raised privately.

“We are essentially asking for matching funds,” she said.

William O’Toole of Fiscal Advisory said that the separa-tion of church and state issues were the most troubling for him.

“The Massachusetts Con-stitution clearly prohibits giv-ing public funds to a church for any reasons. The fact that other towns have done it does not protect us,” he said.

However, Town Counsel Robert Troy said the consti-tution’s actual lauguage was rather broad, and that Town Meeting had the authority to decide if the project had a public benefit.

Town Meeting voters ar-gued both sides of the debate. Paula Harris said she didn’t want to see public money used

on a project with a limited public benefit.

“The argument that we’ve done it in the past does not mean we should be doing it in the future,” she said.

“This is one of the most historic buildings in town,” said Barbara Kiley. “What would it be like to drive down Tremont Street and not see that fabulous structure?”

The article passed by a vote of 151 to 37.

Voters also approved an article designating $90,000 to restore the Issac Keene Barn at Camp Wing. Many similar arguments were made, since Camp Wing is owned and op-erated by the nonprofit Cross-roads for Kids.

That article passed by a vote of 125-52.

Other Community Pres-ervation Act articles passed at Town Meeting Monday in-clude:

• Article 21, which re-quested $76,405 for the Com-munity Preservation Commit-tee’s operating budget.

• Article 22 to establish the Community Preservation Fund appropriations.

• Article 25, asking for $55,000 to complete three years of the historical proper-ties survey.

• Article 26, which re-quested $185,000 to purchase 60 acres of former cranberry bog off Route 14.

• Article 28, which asked for $150,000 to develop two units of affordable housing at the former Grange building off Franklin Street.

Preservation articles passed

Town Meeting voters approved $50,000 in Community Preservation Act money to aid in the restoration of 10 windows at the First Parish Church. The church will raise the remainder of the funds for the proj-ect privately.

Cutting coupons and shopping sensibly is just half of the equation when it comes to saving money on your grocery bill. Making a few adjustments in how

you plan your menus and prepare food once it comes home can trim the fat on your food budget. Eating healthy is always the goal, as a healthy life comes with fewer medical bills down the road and the boost you get from eating food that is good for you is priceless. Here are a few ideas on how to cook up savings:

When purchasing buy one/get one free or large packages of meats and poultry, optimize your savings by properly wrapping and freezing each item. Simply put, air is the enemy of food. Investing a small amount of money in a vacuum sealer is

the best way to extend the life of your frozen foods, to avoid freezer burn and preserve fresh flavor. If a vacuum sealer isn’t in your future, take a few extra minutes to protect your product. Some items, such as pork tenderloin, come vacuum packed in heavy duty plastic and

are ready to pop into the freezer. For traditionally packed items such as chicken or beef, remove the store packaging and individually wrap each item in plastic wrap and place the tightly wrapped pieces in a large plastic freezer bag. Remember – air is the enemy of food! Carefully press out all of the air as you seal the freezer bag.

Meat, fish and vegetables can lose flavor in the freezer and won’t shine as the main feature on a plate, but can still bring sparkle to chowders, stews, soups and sauces. Take advantage of in season produce and stock your freezer for the winter months. The vibrant flavor and color of a summer vegetable defrosted in February is far better than what you will find on the shelves in the winter and will cost less.

Go back to the basics. Chicken on the bone is one third the cost of boneless, skinless chicken, is richer in flavor and is moister. It takes only a second to remove the fatty skin either before or after cooking. For fussy eaters, slice the chicken off the bone before serving. Bone-in chicken and meats not only saves money, but enhances your meals. Chicken thighs are often overlooked but are moist, tender and easy to cook.

Add beans, lentils, and whole grains back into your thinking. We have become so accustomed to purchasing Uncle So and So’s rice that we pass by the more nutritious and economical bag of whole grains located just down the aisle. A six-ounce box of Uncle So and So’s Long Grain and Wild Rice costs $2.69 and serves three. A 28-ounce bag of organic pearl barley costs $3.79 and serves fourteen! Uncle So and So’s package of rice contains nearly twenty ingredients; the barley has only one and is superior in its nutritional value. Beans are beautiful, nutritious, cost-effective and filling. Serve pretty pink salmon (purchased on sale), with spring green asparagus and mashed cannellini beans dressed with a hint of garlic and olive oil – all for less than $3 per person. Delicious, nutritious and inexpensive.

Tidbit: If you haven’t visited the indoor Farmers Market at Plimouth Plantation, try to go this Thursday between 3-6:30 p.m. In addition to great local products, there will be Irish music, a drop-in yoga class and a screening of King Corn. plymouthfarmersmarket.org.

Hoping that the third time will be the charm in the quest for a new Duxbury fire sta-tion, annual Town Meeting voters again approved fund-ing for the design of a reno-vated headquarters on Trem-ont Street.

Voters overwhelm-ingly supported Article 15,

which pro-poses to spend $292,000 for architectural and engineer-ing services

and contract bid documents for the expansion and reno-vation of the town’s main fire station.

This Town Meeting vote marks the third time residents have approved funding for a new station. In 2008, town meeting approved $1 million for design fees for a police station on land near Exit 11 and for an expanded fire sta-tion, but two weeks later, vot-ers at the polls rejected this plan.

In 2009, town meeting again approved funding for a new fire station, this time $5.2 million for design and construction fees, but voters at the subsequent election did not support the project.

At the March 27 town election, the $292,000 will be on the ballot as a debt exclu-sion to Proposition 2 1/2. A debt exclusion is a temporary tax increase to pay off the costs of borrowing money for a specific project.

The Public Safety Build-ing Feasibility Study Commit-tee is hoping that voters will support the ballot question because they say the fire sta-tion is in dire need of repairs and the town has held off in-vesting money in the building as it is waiting for renovation plans.

“We have delayed ad-dressing the infrastructure needs for the fire and police departments but their time has come,” said Friend Weil-er, Sr., who is on the Fiscal Advisory Committee.

According to Andre Mar-tecchini, chairman of the Public Safety Building Fea-sibility Study Committee, the fire department has outgrown the building. Constructed in 1967, the 9,800 square ft Tremont Street fire station

was built for two full-time firefighters and a chief who answered five hundred calls a year. Now the fire department responds to over 2,000 calls annually and employees 22 full-time firefighters, ten call firefighters, a chief, deputy chief and administrative staff. Also, it contains space for the town’s Emergency Operations Center, which is staffed by 35 people during emergency planning.

Fire Chief Kevin Nord said the current staff quarters are inadequate and not suited for female firefighters with open dorm style sleeping and no male/female bathrooms. The gym area shares the same space with the kitchen/eating area in the basement, which is prone to flooding. The second floor administrative offices are cramped, have no visi-tor greeting area and are not handicapped accessible. There is no storage, no private meet-ing rooms or conference areas and limited office space. The emergency operations center is too small. Also, there is no fire alarm or sprinkler system and the mechanical, electri-cal and plumbing systems all need updating.

Martecchini said the com-mittee is looking to design a project similar to the plans presented to town meeting last year but smaller — a 7,200 square foot station instead of last year’s 8,000 square foot plan. The smaller building is less expensive: $4.5 million vs. last year’s $5.2 million, 14 percent decrease.

The $4.5 million repre-sents the total project costs, said Martecchini, including $3.23 million in construc-tion costs and the rest in “soft costs” including the architects fees, furniture and communi-cations equipment.

At Town Meeting, resi-dents wanted to know why the Public Safety Building Feasibility Study Committee did not move forward with plans for a combined police and fire station. This idea was first raised in 2008 after vot-ers rejected a proposal for $1 million in design funds for a new $8 million police headquarters on town-land on Route 14. Many residents opposed the proposed loca-tion but asked the commit-tee to return with plans for a combined station, thinking it

would save the town money.The committee did come

to Town Meeting 2009 with plans for a combined police and fire station but placed the building on cemetery land. This location met with vocal resistance from the cemetery trustees and others, said Mar-tecchini. This article was in-definitely postponed so voters never got a chance to vote on it.

Martecchini said there were many reasons his com-mittee could not consider a combined facility, but the main reason was the lack of a suitable location. The fire sta-tion must be located very close to its current position because of emergency response times. He said the committee looked into buying two properties behind the current station but they would cost $900,000 to $1 million.

The committee also said the savings of a joint facility would be minimal.

“There’s nothing we share. We have two different mis-sions statements,” said Nord of the police and fire depart-ments. “If you build a com-bined facility, the only thing we’ll share is a wall between the two departments and a roof and an HVAC system.

Preliminary plans for a renovated station indicate that the current firefighters’ crew quarters on the build-ing’s north wing would be demolished. In its place will be a two-story addition with administrative offices on the lower floor and new crew quarters on top. The existing apparatus bay will remain but will gain an additional 20 feet.

If the design funds suc-ceed at the town election, the committee plans to bring an article to next year’s Town Meeting for construction funding, which would also be funded as debt exclusion. The renovated station could re-open in August 2012, said Martecchini.

Proponents on Town Meet-ing floor pointed out that the current crematory did not con-

form to safety or environmen-tal standards, and pointed out the facility

brings in money to Duxbury –– mostly from out-of-towners.

“It’s helped to reduce the tax burden,” said Karen Barry of the Finance Committee. “This is a capital investment into an established operation that generates revenue.”

She said the crematory brings in about $600,000 per year.

Robert Hayes of the Cre-matory Building Committee called the project “overdue.”

“It is at a competitive dis-advantage and needs to be re-placed now before it’s forced to close its doors,” he said.

A video prepared by the committee called the facility “Duxbury’s best kept secret” and pointed out that in addi-

tion to the crematory, the main office is “crowded, inefficient and not handicapped acces-sible.”

Preliminary plans include a 3,000 square foot crematory with four retorts and room for expansion, and 1,300 square feet of office space.

Emmett Sheehan of the Crematory Building Commit-tee said Duxbury’s facility was the busiest in New England, performing about 3,400 cre-mations per year.

Cremations are projected to increase in popularity, as they have over the past few years. Sheehan said 33 percent of people chose cremation in 2007 and that number is pro-jected to increase to 55 percent by 2015.

New crematory approvedcontinued from page one

Town Meeting voters approved the spending of $2.5 million to replace the 30-year-old crematory at Mayflower Cemetery.

Rotary Club newsAt the Rotary last meeting we were glad to see for-

mer club president, Razia Jan. Razia left Dux-bury and her business over a year ago and went

to Afghanistan for the express purpose of establishing a girl’s school in her native land. She spoke of the conditions in Af-ghanistan. Overcoming all odds she succeeded in building the school which, since it is exclusively for girls, is contrary to the mores of the dominant male population. She spoke of the poverty of the children, many of whom do not have shoes. After leaving Duxbury, Raz went to Texas to see former First Lady Barbara Bush, then to Miami before returning to the Middle East.

President John reminded the Club of the Mother’s Day Breakfast coming up on May 9 at the Senior Center.

Our next meeting will feature Brian Felty who will pres-ent a tour of King Caesar House as it was in 1840. His illis-trated talk will be based on computer simulation of drawings on file in the Duxbury Historical Society’s archives.

Abdul Hamadeh, Lynda Jackson, Razia Jan, President George Prebola, and Stephen Dubuque.

Jamie K. Neal could light up a room with her smile, a bas-ketball court with her fierce will to win, or a classroom with her mastery of math and statistics. She was a light and joy to her family, a beloved

daughter and sister, a cherished granddaughter, niece, and cousin. Jamie died on March 10 at age 21.

Born in Middletown, Conn., Jamie moved with her family to Duxbury in 1997. The recipi-ent of 12 varsity letters at Duxbury High School and captain of three varsity teams—basketball, soccer, and softball—Jamie also was a percus-sionist in the high school orchestra. She entered Williams College in 2006, where she played basketball and studied economics and math. She loved the college, becoming especially close to her mentor Dean Dave.

Schoolwork and sports were paramount in Jamie’s mind, and she pursued them with single-minded intensity. Little things like a wet towel on the bed or peanut butter on the floor were of no consequence. Besides acing a test or swish-ing a three-pointer, she took greatest pleasure at being active with friends and family, caring for children, or snuggling with her dogs, Woody and Bailey.

Jamie’s offbeat humor could break up a gathering with an unusual angle on the subject

at hand. She also embraced differences in oth-er people’s perspectives and values. She, along with her mom, spent three summers with the Ap-palachia Service Project, repairing and renovat-ing homes in impoverished areas of the United States. Her heart was open to the entire world’s kinds and colors.

Despite her vitality and talents, Jamie had struggled with depression for many years. She was helped in that fight by a special woman, Jennifer. Jamie’s legacy is one of kindness, ac-ceptance, excellence, and extraordinarily hard work.

Jamie leaves her parents, Robert and Debo-rah, and brother, Abram; Aunt Andi, Uncle Terry, and cousin Jonathan Heinlein; grandparents Rob-ert and Judy Neal; Aunt Donna McGlashan; Aunt Denise Killeen, and many other aunts, uncles, and cousins. She was predeceased by her cousin Christopher Heinlein and grandparents John and Edna Killeen.

A celebration of Jamie’s life will be held on Friday, March 26, 11 a.m., at the First Parish Church, Duxbury. Remembrances of Jamie may be emailed to [email protected] or [email protected].

In lieu of flowers, please send contribu-tions to the Jamie K. Neal Fund in support of a scholar–athlete scholarship at Duxbury High School, research and treatment in mental health, and programs in rape awareness. Checks may be made payable to the Jamie K. Neal Fund, Sov-ereign Bank, 64 Depot St., Box J, Duxbury, MA 02332.

Jamie K. Neal, 21

Marie Haffenref-fer Fox, 91, of Dux-bury died on Tues-day, March 9. Born in Brookline, she was the daughter of Theodore and Marie Haffenreffer. She at-tended Beaver Coun-try Day School. Af-ter earning a degree

in botany from Wellesley College in 1941, she studied landscape architecture at the Harvard Graduate School of Design and was one of the first women to graduate from Harvard. In 1944, she married Robert Stanton Fox, a naval archi-tect. They settled in Duxbury where they raised four children. Mrs. Fox became a sailor, racing her catboat on Duxbury Bay and with her family cruising the coast of Maine and islands of the West Indies.

Mrs. Fox had a passion for gardening. She was a longtime member of the Duxbury Garden Club and she and her friend Natalie Goodrich of Duxbury helped residents of the Brockton Vet-erans Hospital arrange garden flowers for many years. She also participated in the Art in Bloom

shows at the Museum of Fine Arts. Mrs. Fox attended Boston Symphony Or-

chestra concerts most of her life and regularly volunteered at its offices. As a young woman, she had sung with the Handel and Hayden Soci-ety Chorus. In her 70’s, she devoted her time to the Opera Company of Boston. With her sister Katharine, she ran the gift shop to help support opera performances. Mrs. Fox also attended monthly Class of ’41 book club gatherings at the Wellesley College.

Marie Haffenreffer Fox, 91

Kenneth Eakin Watson, Jr., age 83, died in his sleep at his home, the Residences at Wingate at Silver Lake in Kingston, on March 4, from complications of lung cancer.

Born in Worcester in 1928 to Kenneth E. and Katharine (Gilbert Harris)Watson, Mr. Wat-son grew up in New Rochelle, N.Y. He graduat-ed early from New Rochelle High School to join the Army Air Corps. During World War II, he was stationed at Keesler Field in Biloxi, Miss. and served as a flight instructor for B-24 Bomb-er pilots. He had a lifelong passion for jazz and Big Band music and was a talented drummer. As a young man he had the opportunity to play with some of the Big Band orchestras travelling through New York and he continued his interest in music playing occasionally with friends well into his later years.

Following the war, Mr. Watson attended Philadelphia College of Science and Textiles (now Philadelphia University). Following graduation, he returned to New Rochelle to join the J. W. Wood Textiles sales firm in New York City. In 1956, the family moved to Wil-

ton, Conn. where they lived until 1972. He was active in the Wilton Playshop, acting in many local productions, including his favorite role as Ensign Pulver in the play Mister Roberts. A longtime skier, having started on the local golf courses of New Rochelle, the family enjoyed a ski house near the Sugarbush Resort in Ver-mont. During retirement, Mr. Watson and his wife, Anne, settled on the shores of Lake Can-dlewood in Brookfield, Conn.

Mr. Watson leaves his wife Anne R. Watson, also at Wingate at Silver Lake; his son, Kenneth E. (Terry) Watson, III of Duxbury; his daughter, the late Katharine Anne Noble; three grandchil-dren, Christopher Ian Watson of New Milford, Conn., Richard Dean Watson of Brookfield, Conn., and Kenneth E. (Kip) Watson, IV of Duxbury; and one great-grandchild, Anne Kath-arine Watson of New Milford, Conn. A memo-rial service will be held later this spring at the Brookfield Congregational Church. Contribu-tions may be made in Mr. Watson’s memory to Doctors Without Borders USA, P.O. Box 5030, Hagerstown, MD 21741.

The Art Complex Muse-um’s first gallery talk of the year is scheduled for Wednes-day, March 17, at 11 a.m. when Sculptor Jessica Straus, whose work is currently on exhibit, will discuss her work. Her distinctive sculptures prove that limitations can provide rich fodder for inven-tion. Her “Little Red Dress” series has already gener-ated much discussion among viewers. As in all of Straus’ work, the line between levity and gravity is crossed and re-crossed, and held in delicate balance. The program is free with registration required at 781-934-6634, ext. 15.

Seeking stories of TarkilnDid you attend school at Tarkiln? Then, the Friends of

Tarkiln wants to hear from you! The Tarkiln School on Summer Street opened during the

Civil War Reconstruction era in 1871 and operated as a Dux-bury school until 1950. Tarkiln’s two halls were the last of Duxbury’s one-room schoolhouses to close. Tarkiln has been part of the fabric of Duxbury for over one hundred and thirty years.

Recently, the building has been closed and has been under-going some needed upgrades. This summer, Tarkiln will be returning as a meeting place for townsfolk once again.

In celebration of Tarkiln’s partial restoration, we are reach-ing out to all Alumni who attended school here. We want to hear your recollections of your time at Tarkiln.

We’d like to know the dates when you attended, what you learned, how you were taught, and the names of your class-mates and teachers. We are also keen to hear your stories about what it was like to attend Tarkiln and we would love to see your old photographs. We are composing a Stories of Tarkiln history and photograph album. (All original photos will be du-plicated and returned.)

We also hope to see you at a multi-year school reunion at Tarkiln later this year!

Please drop us a note at The Friends of Tarkiln, PO Box 1296, Duxbury 02331 or e-mail your information to [email protected]

It appears that the days when residents poured over the town’s upcoming operat-ing budget with a fine-toothed comb looking for places to

add and sub-tract money on Town Meeting floor are long gone. Instead,

voters seem to understand that town officials have tight-ened their belts during these tough economic times and scoured the budget for sav-ings, because the FY2011 operating budget passed on Saturday without comment.

The operating budget for the town’s next fiscal year be-ginning July 1 totals just over $54 million and represents a 1.32 percent increase over the current budget, Town Manag-er Richard MacDonald said.

“This is a balanced bud-get,” said MacDonald. “While the increases are minimal, this is a stable budget.”

MacDonald explained that under his guidance, Dux-bury has been trying to model its budget on the old adage “Live within your means and within your seams.”

“We must live within our revenue stream,” said Mac-Donald. “This budget reflects the current economic cli-mate.”

As revenues from all sources have decreased in re-cent years — in some cases more than ten percent, Mac-Donald and Finance Director John Madden have adjusted to this new reality by conser-vatively projecting the town’s revenues and then decreasing Duxbury’s spending to match them. This is one reason resi-dents have not yet had to face a Proposition 2 1/2 override at the ballot box.

Revenues from Duxbury property taxes have decreased 6.5 percent from last year, while state aid and local re-ceipts from fees and licensing have both declined more than ten percent, said MacDonald. He is expecting a projected cut of $685,000 in state aid for FY11, and he warned that he thought the state will make another cut to its local aid to Duxbury before the current fiscal year ends in June.

With the revenue short-ages at the top of his mind, MacDonald asked the town and school department man-agers to produce two alterna-tive budgets: one that showed level service funding and an-other that reduced their bud-gets by three percent.

Using this information, MacDonald was able to pro-duce a balanced budget al-lowing modest increases of up to three percent for all but two departments, which show

budget decreases. To achieve this balance,

MacDonald said he is focused on making the town operate more efficiently.

Not filling vacant posi-tions “is the least painful method of staff reduction” to save money, said MacDonald. He has eliminated funding for various positions in the police and fire departments, the De-partment of Public Works and in the finance department.

MacDonald said he cur-rently does not plan to layoff or furlough any employees, but warned that there is no extra money in the FY2011 budget for negotiated union contract salary increases that will happen this year. Mac-Donald said he will have to “look within the budget to reallocate resources” to fund contract settlements.

“If this is not possible, then there will be layoffs and furloughs,” he said.

MacDonald said he re-fuses to use free cash to shore up the operating budget, a practice that was done un-der the previous town man-ager and that he discontinued last year. Instead free cash, which is considered a one-time revenue, will be used to buy capital items, considered one-time expenses.

“Free cash will not be used to balance the budget,” said MacDonald. “This prac-tice masked an inherent rev-enue deficiency. Now is not the time to utilize quick fixes or return to old habits.”

MacDonald said balanc-ing the FY11 budget was a bit easier than past years because he and his managers were getting used to this type of belt-tightening. However, he warned that he did not know

how much longer the town could continue to provide the services residents expected without the necessary funds.

“There is no distinct time in the future where we can point to a turn-around,” said MacDonald. “We are already looking toward the FY2012 budget. But we remain enthu-siastic, optimistic and upbeat and we embrace the challeng-es before us.”

Duxbury Superintendent of Schools Susan Skeiber told voters that the school district headed into the budget season knowing they’d have to make tough decisions.

“We did realize we’d have to look at this budget not as level service, not as level funding, but to reduce that budget,” Skeiber said.

Even after the town’s fi-nancial staff told her they could give $300,000 to the schools, Skeiber still needed to cut more than $700,000 from the original school plans.

The schools took a tiered approach to making cuts, as they did last year, trying to make classroom cuts (mean-ing teachers) only as a last resort.

“The majority of our bud-get is people,” Skeiber said.

A group of 12 teachers retiring gave the district the flexibility to look for savings without layoffs.

“Without retirements this would have been a more dif-ficult budget to put together,” Skeiber said.

Company Paintings at the ACMPaintings produced in large part by Indian artists for Euro-

peans, primarily British, will be on display at The Art Complex Museum in Company Paintings until April 11. The intriguing style of these artworks is mixed Indo-European using water-color on paper and occasionally on mica. Subjects include local dress, modes of transport, trades, agriculture, deities, ceremo-nies and festivals.

These paintings are all from the museum’s collection and most of them come from Northeastern India. The two architec-tural subjects in the collection were created in Delhi and each features a magnificent Muslim monument; the Taj Mahal in Agra and the Tomb of Shaikh Salim Chishti at Fatehpur Sikri.

All of the paintings in this exhibition date from the nine-teenth century. Two are by British artists. L. Gear painted “Bom-bax Ceiba,” a flowering tree of India in 1826. J. Shury made an engraving of an image by J. Forbes, Cambay, 1781 of “Travel-ing in a Palanquin in India” which was published in 1834.

Two pieces of artwork were done on mica. Until the late eighteenth century, mica was used mainly for festival lanterns. Then artists realized that the transparent mica sheets could be placed over an image and easily traced. This facilitated the du-plication of compositions.

Benares or Patna, India, “Soldier Riding on a Camel,” mid-19th century, painting on mica.

After a public hearing process that lingered for more than a year – and re-sulted in the public hearing being closed then reopened so that details could be worked out –– a final permit has been issued for the 40B project Island Creek North.

Island Creek North is a 238-unit expansion of an ex-isting housing development off Tremont Street near the Kingston border. 40B refers to a state law called the “an-ti-snob” zoning act, which allows developers to skirt local zoning regulations if a portion of the units are sold at below-market rates. Instead of taking the project before

the town’s various boards and committees, sole power to issue a “comprehensive permit” rests with the Zon-ing Board of Appeals.

The board hammered out the last of the details with the applicant, Keith Properties, at a hearing on March 11 and the decision was recorded at the Plymouth County Reg-istry of Deeds on Friday, March 12.

The final approval in-cludes 181 conditions. The applicants have until April 1 to appeal the decision.

Two citizen petition ar-ticles that would have changed the face of Duxbury town government were defeated on Town Meeting floor Monday night.

One such article, a peti-tion to increase the Board of Selectmen from three mem-bers to five, was before Town

Meeting in the past, in 2003. That article passed Town Meeting but

was rejected by the Attorney General for legal reasons. In 2005, a similar proposal was tabled because the moderator had just appointed a govern-ment study committee (and that group eventually recom-mended keeping the board at three members.)

This year’s incarnation would require a special act of the state legislature and would also need approval at the bal-lot box.

Paul McCormack, the ar-ticle’s chief proponent, said he found multiple instances of towns increasing the size of their boards, but none doing the opposite.

“They’re all going up,” he said. “It’s just a matter of time.”

One of McCormack’s chief reasons for putting the mea-sure forward was the board’s ability to deal with a growing population. He also pointed out how many committees the selectmen are responsible for, and said the board has often neglected their policy and vi-sion-setting duties.

“The status quo is not enough, the town needs to progress,” he said.

Finance Committee mem-ber Gay Shanahan said that the town’s population is showing signs of decline, not growth.

She pointed out that the major complaints with the board were about individual decision, not process.

“The selectmen have not indicated that they need to add selectmen to operate at a high level,” she said.

She also cited a concern that five members would pro-vide more fractured leader-ship.

“It is the anecdotal evi-dence ... that boards with five selectmen have a greater ten-dency to politicize the office,” she said. “We believe with three selectmen the selectmen tend to be generalists.”

Selectman Christopher Donato said he believed more selectmen would add transpar-ency to the governmental pro-cess.

“You’ve got two more sets of eyes looking out for the res-idents of Duxbury,” he said. “I think if our government was more transparent decisions would be made differently.”

When better compliance with the state’s open meeting law was brought up as a reason for moving to a five-member board, former selectman An-dre Martecchini said he wor-ried about the implications.

“Not having the ability to talk amongst each other is a good thing,” Martecchini said. “If two people start talking, they start making deals behind the scenes.”

Josh Cutler, who served on a five-member board of select-men in Hull, said he didn’t see a five-member board getting any more accomplished.

“The issue of politicization is a very legitimate one,” Cut-ler said. “To say a five mem-ber board is going to be more efficient than a three member one ... I would disagree quite strenuously with that.”

The article failed on a voice vote.

The next article, however, which would have instituted a recall procedure in Duxbury, was much closer.

Recall allows voters in town to hold a special elec-tion to immediately remove a sitting politician. The article

would have required a two-step process: First, a petition would have to gather 100 signatures to start the process. Then, within 30 days, a recall peti-tion would have to be signed by 10 percent of Duxbury’s registered voters in order to call for the special election.

On Town Meeting floor Monday night, those numbers were changed to 500 signa-tures and 15 percent of voters, in order to raise the bar for a recall.

“Early on in the process, 500 signatures is no easy task,” said Board of Selectmen Chair-woman Betsy Sullivan when explaining the amendment. “It would show there was indeed support within the community that there was need for this pe-tition to go forward”

Voters seemed to appreci-ate the increased standards, but were still wary of recall being used as a punitive measure for an unpopular vote.

Ted Flynn, an elected member of the library trustees, said he was against the idea of recall. “Your vote has conse-quences,” he said. “I think it’s important to recognize that and to live with the consequences of our vote.”

Planning Board Chair-woman Amy MacNab said an-gry voters shouldn’t be blam-ing an individual for unpopular decisions.

“No decision gets made without the majority of a board,” she said. “If you have an issue with a decision you have an issue with the board.”

However, James Mandrell, another library trustee, said he was surprised by the resistance to the measure.

“I don’t take any votes or say anything that I’m not will-ing to stand behind,” he said. “It surprises me that people who are elected officials are afraid of this.”

The moderator took a hand count and the article failed, 65-78.

By heidi maitland, speCial to the Clipper

1528 miles from Dux-bury, in Biloxi, Mississippi, a community is still regroup-ing four and a half years after Hurricane Katrina. Whole blocks of houses are gone, leaving grass and trees and dirt. Bit by bit new buildings are started, on stilts as high as 12 ft. The Back Bay Mission in Biloxi is playing a role in the rebuilding, mixing a small professional staff with volun-teers who come for a week at a time, stay in dorms, cook their own meals and work daily to construct homes so Biloxi residents can move back.

In early February the vol-unteers came from Duxbury’s Pilgrim Church and from First Congregational Church of Battle Creek, Michigan, joined by a pastor from Ken-nebunkport, Maine just start-ing a sabbatical. They worked on one brand new home and two rebuilding projects. Three families are waiting for the results, including a middle-aged Vietnamese/American couple, and a single gentle-man ill with cancer. The skills the volunteers used, some newly-learned, included win-dow framing, floor tile laying, grouting and replacing walls destroyed by water and mold. The February weather was chilly and wet, but a lot was accomplished, and the vol-unteers left at the end of the week with a new appreciation for working on scaffolding and on their knees, cutting

tiles with a wet-saw out-side in the cold, moving into place and nailing 8’ x4’ floor underlayment panels with a squad of people that had been strangers just a day before.

The week began with the outside influence of the Su-perbowl and the local team, the Saints, being the victors. Other nights were spent min-gling with the Michigan and Maine folks in musical pre-sentations, card games, de-votions and attending a local mid-week church service. The opening ceremony of the Van-couver Olympics was a big draw. Volunteers also were encouraged to spend an af-ternoon & evening seeing the area. Some headed to New Orleans and others enjoyed local shrimp or BBQ joints.

The Back Bay Mission, in Biloxi for almost 90 years, also started a soup kitchen, Loaves and Fishes, that now is independent. Each day a few workcampers could be assigned to that duty as well. The Back Bay Mission is a community ministry in the Gulf Coast, of United Church of Christ, of which the Pil-grim Church is a member. The Web site for more informa-tion about Back Bay mission is thebackbaymission.org.

Pilgrim Church’s delega-tion, led by Reverend Todd Vetter, included Don & Lynn DeHart, Angelique Kania, Julia Lizza, John Brewer, Ken & Heidi Maitland, Scott Doughty, April Kerle, Terri Clark, Lori & Dan Hall, Jim & Nancy Grim.

physical and psychological exam.

MacDonald said he per-sonally witnessed the assess-ment center run by the search firm BadgeQuest, and was impressed with Clancy. After an in-person interview, he was sold.

“I feel Chief Clancy rose to the top,” MacDonald said. “I am very comfortable with him.”

MacDonald said he has informed the Board of Select-men, the police chief search committee and the police unions of his decision.

Clancy was one of three candidates for Duxbury’s next police chief: Plympton Police Chief Matthew Clancy, retired Londonderry New Hampshire Police Chief Joseph Ryan and Worcester Lieutenant Richard Bates.

Barry DeCristofano, chair-man of the Board of Select-men in Plympton, said when Clancy was a candidate for the police chief’s job in Middle-boro last May, members of the police union approached the selectmen and asked them to do everything in their power to retain their chief.

“That’s coming from his staff,” said DeCristofano. “He’ll be disappointed if he doesn’t get the job, but we’ll be happy to keep him a little

longer.”He said Clancy has made

great strides in professional-izing the Plympton Police Department, which is small –– only six full-time officers and about a dozen part-time policemen and women.

“We are a small town, but we’re a small town that has moved into the 21st century,” DeCristofano said. “He’s tried to meld a small town police force with the modern reality of technology.”

Clancy is what’s known as a strong chief, so he negotiates contracts and has day-to-day control of his department, but DeCristofano said he keeps the lines of communications with the selectmen open.

“He certainly keeps up abreast of any important issues that come along,” he said.

Clancy was a sergeant in Mashpee before becoming Plympton’s chief in 2002.

Rev. Catherine Cullen, chairwoman of the Duxbury Police Chief Search Commit-tee, said she was pleased with the search process. The group picked the three names after receiving more than 50 re-sumes. In particular, the group was impressed with Clancy from his initial interview.

“The word that jumps out at me is professionalism,” said Cullen. “He understands the culture in Duxbury.”

She noted that he came

into a difficult situation in Plympton.

“He brought a lot of heal-ing to that department,” she said. “We’ve very excited and he seemed excited about us ... He’ll make a great public face for the department.”

Cullen praised Steven Un-sworth of BadgeQuest, the consultant hired to help guide the search process.

“He shepherded us through,” she said. “He’s done this many times before, he just established a great process.”

Cullen also said adding the step of in-person interviews with the top candidates, a step Unsworth does not always in-clude in his searches, really helped narrow down the field.

“I thought we had a terrif-ic pool of candidates to draw from,” she said. “In some re-spects it was hard to choose just a few to go forward.”

MacDonald praised the search committee for their ef-forts.

“I’m proud of the commit-tee,” he said. “They did a great job.”

MacDonald said he hopes to have Clancy start as Dux-bury’s chief sometime in May.

“I’m asking the commu-nity and the police department to work with Chief Clancy and to give him every opportunity to succeed,” he said.

sharon Cronin, Clipper Columnist

Health has been a major topic of concern this year,

with the pandemic of the H1N1 virus. Tracy Mayo has been the health agent for the town of Duxbury for the past four years. The Clipper visit-ed her to get more information on how our Board of Health works and the impact of the flu season.

Q: What is the role of the health agent within the Board of Health?

The Board of Health meets every two weeks. They pri-marily discuss requests and variances for septic, pools, etc and any health issue that may come up. One role of the health agent is to follow up on the matters of the board. I set up inspections and process permits for septic, pools, res-taurants, camps, tanning sa-lons, etc.

A second role of the health agent is as town coordinator for the Medical Reserve Corp. The MRC covers the towns of Duxbury, Hanson, Marshfield, Pembroke and Whitman. It is a partnership of commu-nity volunteers, some men and women within health related fields, and some not. They are in charge of setting up disaster response emergency shelters when needed, promot-ing health education, and are present at community events such as the Duxbury Triathlon. The MRC helped to adminis-ter the H1N1 flu shots during our town clinics. The Health Agent is in charge of their training as well as coordinat-ing their activities.

Q: How has the H1N1 pandemic affected your po-sition this year?

My assistant, Janet Whit-temore, and I have been ex-tremely busy and the H1N1 has been our main focus since last spring when it was first re-alized. We have been working constantly with the state and with the schools. It was dif-ficult, especially at first, since we were being allotted only a

small number of doses. So we weren’t sure what the partici-pation would be and how long we would need

Q: Do we have many reported cases of H1N1 in Duxbury?

Not really, but that is be-cause doctors stopped test-ing specifically for the strain. With so many sick people, they assumed if you had cer-tain symptoms you had the flu, and treated you accordingly, so the statistics are very incon-clusive.

Q: How has the town re-sponded to the clinics offered by the Town?

We have held four clinics between November and Janu-ary. We administered 1345 doses of the vaccine. We are no longer going to sched-ule the clinics. The Partners Homecare offers vaccines on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 1-3:30 p.m. Also, the vaccine is more readily available now at most pharmacies, some re-tail stores, and most doctors offices for free.

Q: Tell me a little about yourself.

I live here in Duxbury, but I grew up in Illinois. I attended Illinois State University where I received a bachelors degree in environmental health. I’ve been married about two years now to my husband, Ed. I love it here in Duxbury since we have the beach and are only a short drive to the mountains. In my spare time, I enjoy the beach, reading, traveling, and mostly spending time with my family and friends.

Historical letter reading at the Wright Building

The Duxbury Rural and Historical Society invites all to the next installment of their historical letter readings at the Drew Archival Library in the Wright Building. The event will take place Thursday, March 18 at 7 p.m. in the Hoyt Reading Room.

Hear history come alive as the Letter Reading series con-tinues with letters from the Smith family of Duxbury. Capt. Jonathan Smith (1780-1843) and his family lived in the stately home located at 18 St. George Street. While away at sea the Captain wrote loving letters to his wife, Zilpha Drew Smith. His daughter, Zilpha Smith, continued to live in the home with her husband, the town’s doctor, James Wilde. Her letters to her sister-in-law, Judith, describe life in Duxbury in the 1850’s. Other letters will include those of Jonathan Smith, Jr. and Ju-dith Winsor McLauthlin Smith.

The Drew Archives is located in the Wright Building, at 147 St. George Street. The event is free of charge. Those with questions about the event may contact the Drew Archival Li-brary at 781-934-1382.

Help us let the light inMarch 14-20 is National Sunshine Week.

Sunshine Week has nothing do with the weather –– although we certainly could use some

brighter days after this weekend’s Biblical rain storm. Rather, Sunshine Week is a national movement by newspapers across the country to draw attention to access and transparency issues in government. It’s an effort to shed a little light on the often – dark corners where our public officials operate.

The Florida Society of Newspaper Editors launched Sunshine Sunday in 2002 in response to efforts by some Florida legislators to create scores of new exemptions to the state’s public records law. It’s a reminder that the fight for access is ongoing, and constant vigilance is needed to protect the public’s right to know. It’s also a reminder that if attention is not paid, some government officials will only draw the curtains tighter.

In Massachusetts the state legislature, for some outrageous reason, has more or less exempted itself from both the open meeting law and public records law. In these difficult financial times, it’s a further insult to cash-strapped cities and towns that the state won’t show how its money is being spent. It’s hypocritical of state officials to ask municipal authorities to adhere to rules they won’t abide by themselves, making enforcement difficult, especially when coupled with toothless penalties. We encourage our readers to write their state representatives and senators, urging them to end this unfair practice and to let the light in on state business.

When Duxbury’s School Committee recently violated the open meeting law, their attorney argued that the public hasn’t been excluded from an open meeting –- just the press. However, the District Attorney’s office countered that the press are members of the public. That’s important to note. Although newspapers often take the lead on sunshine laws, the results aren’t for us. We are the eyes and ears of the public. That’s who we are representing when we sit in the front row at public meetings, taking notes or snapping photos. But when it comes to holding government officials accountable, we need the help of an informed public. We’ve put the state’s public records guide and other information on our Scribd.com account and on our Web site. Read it, get informed, and help us shed a little more light.

–– J. Graeber

Every year the Har-vard Medical School Department of Con-

tinuing Education organizes a two-day course on “School Mental Health: Treating Stu-dents K-12.” I attended this year’s course, which was of-fered in January. As a licensed clinical and school psycholo-gist and graduate school in-structor it is imperative that I stay abreast of current research to offer better services and edu-cation to the people with whom I work and teach. The Harvard course covered several areas relevant to my clinical and teaching practices. I particu-larly was impressed with the research on the neurobiology of learning that was presented by the course’s keynote speaker, David Urion, M.D., Director of the Learning Disabilities/ Be-havioral Neurology Program of Boston Children’s Hospital. Dr. Urion iterated there is a huge

amount of new information on sleep, which we should con-sider in relation to school prac-tices. It is widely known that sleep decreases from infancy to adulthood with a small “blip” that occurs around puberty when sleep pattern changes for adolescents. During this time adolescents are biologically programmed to have a delayed sleep phase at night and thus sleep late. This presents a prob-lem for students whose middle schools and high schools have an early start time. Progres-sive school systems recognize the importance of this sleep research and are altering their start time to improve the learn-ing conditions for adolescents. Those school systems that have made the shift have found great improvement in the academic performance of their students in part because students are no longer sleep deprived. Fur-thermore, a good night’s sleep

is necessary for memory and the consolidation of learning, which naturally improves aca-demic performance. Studies in districts where high schools changed to later start times have also shown improved sports performance, less depression, less risky behavior, and few-er driving accidents by their teens. We here in Duxbury are fortunate that our school sys-tem is progressive, recognizes the importance of this sleep research, and has altered the high school’s start time to ac-commodate the sleep needs of our adolescents. This necessary school action, as difficult as it was to undertake, was done so for the greater good of our com-munity and is one of the special accomplishments that make our town so unique.

Students need more sleep ————————

In March of 1990, a four part series of articles by Nancy McCafferty

was printed in the Clipper de-scribing an amazing near trag-edy in Haiti involving several Duxbury residents. Carol and Bob O’Toole, Caren and Charlene Bonner, Tom, Sara and their son Tommy McDa-vitt, were among a group to travel to Haiti with Diakonos, a Catholic charity mission or-ganization that works in the schools and clinics in Haiti. A beautiful day at the beach turned into a nightmare as the sea swelled and swept five friends out into the raging sea. Clinging to a rock, they were knocked on and off, but had no way to get ashore. The he-roic actions of the group and

many Haitians were finally able to get them ashore, but Tom McDavitt was still on the brink of death as more brave actions by the local community got him to a hos-pital by a makeshift stretcher, and an unexpected bus along the road. Overcoming several

injuries, climbing cliffs, and treating one member for an epileptic seizure as well, the articles were appropriately titled “Miracle in Haiti,” and the story ended with all 14 Americans returning safely home.

FROM THE ARCHIVES


Next week’s question:Under Duxbury’s strong Town Manager Act, selectmen are somewhat removed from the

day-to-day operations of town management. If elected, how would you provide leadership from a policy and long-term visioning standpoint?

Board of SelectmenOne of the biggest questions facing Duxbury right now is the need for new police and fire

facilities. Do you agree that this is a pressing need for the community? What do you think the best solution is, and how, as a selectman, would you provide leadership on this issue?

candidate questions

It is the responsibility of our commu-nity’s leaders to provide public safety

facilities that are safe, meet the operational needs of our police and fire personnel, and

provide the essential high-quality services that our residents ex-pect. I, for one, consider emergency paramedic response to be one of our most essential services. As a Duxbury resident and also as a director of Jordan Hospital, I en-couraged the Board of

Selectmen to utilize Jordan Hospital’s Ad-vance Life Support service with paramedics in Duxbury many years ago when we only had limited EMT service provided by our firefighters. The department’s goal to pro-vide 24/7 coverage for emergency response with our own paramedics is essential. After all, what can be more important than saving a life?

As I mentioned in last week’s Clipper question, by underfunding building main-tenance costs we have allowed many of our school and town buildings to fall into disre-pair, creating even larger repair or replace-ment costs to the town down the road. I believe that both the police and fire station buildings are in need of upgrades to meet cur-rent operational needs, provide safe working environments for our personnel and protect our investment in equipment.

The solution to this issue is complex on many fronts. What is the least expensive re-

pair, renovation or replacement of facilities that will meet the basic “needs,” not “wants” of each department? How are the taxpayers going to pay for those capital improvements given our current tax burden and the state of the economy? Why are we being asked to renovate the fire station before the police sta-tion, which appears to be in worse condition? Because there is little, if any, constituency for these expensive public safety projects, it is imperative that there be extensive public education and constituency building to gain taxpayer support for them.

If I am fortunate to be elected selectman, I pledge to work closely with the Public Safety Building Committee, fire chief, police chief, town manager, and finance director to strat-egize how to develop the lowest cost project that meets the “basic needs” of the depart-ments. Building construction is an area where my professional experience and leadership on other similar projects will help in facilitating the right solution for Duxbury. As a director and chairman of the Building Committee at Jordan Hospital for many years, I managed our most recent hospital expansion from stra-tegic site planning, architect selection, bid-ding, contractor selection, project oversight to completion of construction. More recently, as a director and Building Committee mem-ber of the Duxbury Bay Maritime School, I worked at facilitating the design and con-struction of the new DBMS administration and classroom facility. In both these projects education and consensus building were im-perative. I welcome the opportunity to once again help champion another important proj-ect.

Public safety, education, and local ser-vices are pressing needs for every

community. Duxbury town government must provide adequate public safety, excellent pub-

lic schools, and essential municipal services. To achieve this much is nec-essary, but not sufficient. To be good, let alone excellent, town govern-ment must do more. It must meet these needs wisely, prudently, and responsibly.

This means deter-mining real needs accurately and satisfying them frugally with resources sufficient to do the job – but not more. It demands proper care and maintenance of existing resources as well.

I grew up on the east side of Cleveland, Ohio and graduated from Collinwood High School in 1960. I left in the fall of 1960 on an overnight Greyhound bus for Boston and Cambridge to be a freshman in the Harvard Class of 1964. I had never been to New Eng-land before. I have been here ever since.

Collinwood High School was built in

1926, expanding an earlier school built in 1906. It is still in use today as a high school for 1,147 students. At Harvard, where I went to graduate school as well as to college, there are many buildings even older than Col-linwood’s. They are still very actively used, too.

Growing up today in a relatively affluent community like Duxbury, it is easy to get the notion that everything is disposable, like cell phones, good for only a few years at best. It is all stuff that, even if you break or lose it, you just buy a new one: “Hey! No problem! Just put it on dad’s credit card!”

We need better examples for future gen-erations, not only in Duxbury, but for our country. Otherwise America’s future will not belong to its children. It will belong to China and other creditor nations disciplined enough to live within their means and produce more than they consume – nations we will owe tril-lions of dollars in debt.

As a selectman, I will see to it that the pressing needs of our community are met. But I will also work hard – and ask the right questions – to ensure that real needs are met efficiently, within our means, and without in-creasing spending or raising taxes at rates well above the pace of inflation and real growth in the economy. That is my word to you.

Over the last three years I have at-tended many of

the Safety Committee’s meet-ings in order to understand the wants, needs and affordability of the new fire and police sta-tions.

What we want and need on the fire station has changed considerably. We started with a five-apparatus-bay station at a cost of $8.2 million dollars. Last year’s article had no new bays at $5.2 million. This year is similar but with reduced ad-ministration and crew quarters for $4.5 million.

The price is down for which I give the committee credit. However, the 20 foot add-on at the back of the building has height and width limitations for a new apparatus and poor traf-fic flow.

I have submitted three sketches with cost estimates to the committee for their con-sideration. All three include a necessary one million dollar upgrade of code and non-code items of the existing buildings and a new roof.

The first and most afford-able plan takes care of basic needs: public access to the

administration office, 20 feet added to the apparatus bay as outlined in this article and an addition to the crew quarters. Total cost: $2 million.

The second includes one new apparatus bay sized for new equipment, auxiliary space, new crew quarters and public access to administration. Total cost: $3.3 million.

The third converts the ex-isting south apparatus bay into administration and crew quar-ters while also utilizing space in the existing administration area and adds two new bays with greater height and width. Total cost: $3.4 million.

The last two proposals pro-vide one or two full 80 foot long apparatus bays; leaves the north side of the building open for expansion if needed; and includes new crew quarters and renovated administration space at a price saving of one to two million dollars.

The problem I have with this article is that three mil-lion of the 4.5 million is basi-cally for new crew quarters and administrative space. It also restricts future construction of full-length apparatus bays on the north side of the building. I hope the committee will review these suggestions before com-ing up with final plans.

This is the third year an arti-cle has been placed on the war-rant as a debt exclusion over-ride. I think it is time to move ahead on funding for plans and specs for the fire station. The existing fire station needs to be updated, if nothing else.

As a Duxbury resi-dent, I count my blessings every

day to live in such a lovely and beautiful place. My children especially have the benefit of living in a community, and a country, that offers excellent health care. Unfortunately, for thousands of children in unde-veloped countries such as Cos-ta Rica, basic medical needs are unmet. Thanks to the orga-nization Children Without Bor-ders, co-founded by Duxbury resident Dr. George Whitelaw, children in underserved coun-tries are provided with life-sav-ing medical care. I’m proud to be a supporter of this outstand-ing nonprofit organization, and that’s why Wiemeyer Den-tistry, along with Dr. Christine

Hamori, is sponsoring “Beauty For Borders” on March 26. This special event will directly support and benefit Children Without Borders, a worthwhile organization making a real dif-ference in people’s lives.

Beauty for Borders will be held at the Jones River Trading in Kingston, on March 26, from 7-10 p.m., and tickets are $40 per person (tax-deductible). The evening promises to be night of fashion and fun. Tickets can be purchased with a credit card by visiting the Children Without Borders Web site cwb-foundation.org, or by visiting Wiemeyer Dentistry, Christine Hamori Cosmetic Surgery, and Foodie’s. I hope to see many of you there.

candidate questionsDuxbury is in the process of looking for its next superintendent. What

qualities do you think the town should be looking for when choosing the next person to run the Duxbury Public Schools?

School committee

When you look at the super-intendent’s job description

and duties, it is clear we are looking for a jack-of-all-trades.

I believe our new superintendent needs to possess many attributes, the most impor-tant of which are:

An educa-tor: someone who can relate to and support our teachers on the front line.

An administrator: experience in implementing policies and proce-dures, to achieve educational goals.

A businessperson: overseeing a $39 million budget, numerous em-ployees, several buildings, and ex-tensive grounds requires budgeting and business planning skills.

A public relations specialist: to communicate with staff, students, parents, citizens, and municipal of-

ficials in an open and positive man-ner.

A student: an open-minded indi-vidual who can come into this com-munity and understand the diversity of needs and desires, and learn about existing issues, concerns, or prob-lems.

The qualities we need to be look-ing for in our next superintendent are an empathetic, open-minded, honest, humble, cooperative leader who has business and common sense with excellent communication skills.

This person must be able to as-sess the district’s needs, develop a vision, outline a plan, determine the associated costs, and communicate this to all stakeholders; all while earning the respect of the staff, the trust of the parents, dealing with state and local officials on the build-ing project, and keeping our schools off the state watch list.

We are seeking a superintendent with exceptional abilities, and I am confident I will be able to assist in identifying and hiring that person.

colleen Brayer

Unlike other professions where experiments have the

luxury of being able to fail, every decision in education can have dras-tic and far-reaching consequences in the life of a child. Stepping into this responsibility is the candidate for Duxbury Public Schools’ next superintendent. This person will be

responsible for creating the best possible condi-tions for culti-vating our chil-dren’s minds for future success.

We are a mere decade into the 21st

century and already we are more connected to the world at large than previously imaginable. The educational needs of our children have changed and will continue to change. Duxbury Public Schools—like all elementary, secondary and post-secondary schools across the nation—is in the process of defining what today’s students actually need for success. The end result must be our children mastering the ability to think, to reason and to create.

The next superintendent must challenge teachers to move beyond their comfort levels, to follow a uni-versal design approach to the cur-riculum, yet personalize the content, activities and assessments according to each student’s specific needs. The

next superintendent must challenge parents to accept that their children’s educations will look very different from their own. The next superinten-dent must challenge the residents of Duxbury to provide the resources to improve the middle school and high school buildings. The next superin-tendent must challenge students to view success as the ability to stretch one’s thinking and discover new ideas. The next superintendent must have the ability to steer through fi-nancial difficulties.

I value experience over creden-tials; however, these are uncharted waters. It is unlikely that any candi-date for superintendent has actually taught in a true 21st century class-room. We must look for candidates with a willingness to explore these new areas of education – prior ex-perience and management skills are just a start of the list of qualifica-tions. Just as we ask our teachers to access their students’ prior knowl-edge, I will ask the superintendent to access the collective wisdom of our community. If we are to truly prepare children for life in the 21st century we need leaders who practice what they preach.

Duxbury is a town full of educat-ed, passionate, and committed citi-zens and they deserve the best pos-sible leader for the schools. The next superintendent of Duxbury Public Schools should be one who leads by empowering teachers, parents, students and residents to take on the challenges of tomorrow.

mary lou Buell

The selection of the next super-intendent is a critical decision

for the School Committee, and an op-portunity to find a professional who

will keep the Duxbury schools on the path to ex-cellence. As we evaluate candi-dates for the su-perintendent po-sition, we need to focus on quali-ties that fall into three categories:

communications, educational leader-ship, and administrative skill.

The superintendent must be a skilled communicator; not only listen-ing to alternative viewpoints, but also engaging in dialogue to ensure that the various school stakeholders in Dux-bury – members of the community, students and staff – feel heard. The candidate must have the demonstrated ability to connect and work with the community by involving others in de-cision making. We need a motivating leader for the school staff who will also have the political skill to meet and consult with the various internal and external constituencies.

The ideal candidate will also be an experienced educator with a track re-cord of improving academic achieve-ment for all students along the learn-ing spectrum. We need a leader that has experience in evaluating, planning, and executing curriculum changes that

will yield gains in academic perfor-mance; and further integrate 21st cen-tury teaching themes to better prepare students with increased global aware-ness, learning and innovation skills, media and technology skills, and life and career skills. The superintendent also needs to be able to recruit, evalu-ate, develop, and retain the best teach-ers.

We also need a skilled adminis-trator, with a deep understanding of the budget process and funding chal-lenges. The new superintendent needs to review our existing budget to make sure that we are maximizing efficien-cies while also investing in measures to maintain and improve academic performance. The candidate must also be adept at planning, setting, commu-nicating, and executing on the achieve-ment of short and long term goals. A leader with experience in planning and implementing school renovations would be valuable as well.

The superintendent is the execu-tive officer of the Duxbury Public Schools, responsible for leading our schools to achieve the highest standard of excellence. We need an educator with vision, who thinks strategically, and embodies the above qualities. In order to attract the best candidates, the School Committee must support this new leader, provide high level guidance and strategic direction; and empower the superintendent to build upon our many existing strengths as a foundation, and implement new ideas and initiatives that will move Duxbury schools from good to great.

Gary magnuson

This spring, the new School Committee will exercise one

of its three major roles when it se-lects a new superintendent. Although

it is natural to feel uneasy at the outset of this process, this is an exciting op-portunity and a chance for a fresh start.

Choosing a superintendent begins with an

appreciation for the job. Although the superintendent is the CEO of our schools, the position has a number of unique responsibilities that dis-tinguish it from a typical business executive. In addition to managing a large organization, the superinten-dent is expected to be the leading education professional in the sys-tem, to be in the trenches with parent and community groups and student activities, and to be a strong pres-ence in the community.

We could list the traits we seek. Wanted: Educational leader with a straightforward management style. Fiscally responsible. Personifies ef-fective communication. Technolog-ically savvy. Flexible. A motivator. Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound. Easy.

Although a tall order, I’m sure

that many applicants, on paper, will fit the bill. I feel, however, certain intangible traits will be most impor-tant — the “You know it when you see it” stuff. A successful superin-tendent will have a chemistry with the community, the school commit-tee, and the teaching staff. I will look for someone who can build relationships across the community which, in turn, will bring town-wide support for our schools. He or she should be a leader who communi-cates a vision and motivates teachers to teach, kids to learn, and parents to trust and participate.

Let’s be optimistic. I have tre-mendous confidence in the chosen search firm, and expect their search will be thorough and exhaustive. I urge people to get involved - partici-pate in the focus groups, volunteer to be part of the search committee, contact committee members with your thoughts.

Of course, the ultimate decision belongs to the School Committee. I am dedicated to finding the right fit for Duxbury - not just the best of the bunch. I will vote only for a candidate who meets our needs and who we, the community, are thrilled to have. If that right person comes along, we should scoop him/her up; if not, we’ll be patient. If we do not find the right person, I would vote to hire an interim superintendent, and continue to search. These choices do not come often. We have to make this decision carefully.

foundation with his wife out of the couple’s Kingston home. He is working towards be-coming an ordained minister. Twenty-six years ago, he was on a men’s retreat in Monad-nock when he met a man run-ning a mission to Haiti. Paul-son signed up, and his life was forever changed.

“I was so taken with the country, the tremendous need, the character of the people,” he said. “I went back within six months.”

He started The Haiti Mis-sion and partnered with a church in the rural village of Cotin, where a pastor was installed. The mission also helped build a two-level school that holds several hundred students.

Haiti is a poor country, and much of the mission’s work –– even before the quake –– in-volves providing basic necessi-ties. Paulson pointed out things like soup kitchens don’t exist in Haiti unless they’re provid-ed by the church. However, he sees this as part of his overall ministry and spiritual charge.

“We have an obligation to feed and clothe and help people who are poor,” he said. “That’s a call and a draw on your heart. You have to help people.”

Then, on Jan. 12 the world shook.

“It reordered our lives,” Paulson said. “Haiti was a di-saster in progress, a human tragedy in progress .. They went from having nothing to having less than nothing.”

Two and a half weeks after the quake, Paulson traveled to Haiti with money and tents for the villagers of Cotin. He flew into the Dominican Republic and bought 10,000 pounds of food, loaded it onto a flatbed truck and drove it across the border. Crossing the border was not particularly difficult, but he ran into some trouble traveling to Cotin when the truck was surrounded by hun-gry Haitians.

“People are struggling – they’re frustrated,” Paulson said. “It got desperate for a bit ... food is not getting out there.”

Even though the food was eventually delivered, Paulson returned to Cotin with a heavy

heart –- the church’s pastor and most of his family were killed when their home collapsed during the quake.

He described the destroyed neighborhood as a “river of concrete,” sliding down the hill and destroying lives along the way.

Although the ground has stopped shaking, Haiti is far from past the crisis. In fact, Paulson said he believes it hasn’t peaked yet, as hastily-erected tent cities are a breed-ing ground for disease, and those wounded in the quake suffer from inadequate medical care.

Two of the slain pastor’s daughters are in such a tent city, and Paulson has been un-able to contact them.

“I’ve got to find them, I owe it to Pierre,” he said.

Paulson wants to continue to bring a truck of food into Haiti every month. He is work-ing to raise funds, and the cri-sis has kicked the foundation into high gear –– he’s created a Web site and is showing a video to various civic and re-ligious groups to raise money. Although he is hopeful for the country he has come to love, he knows the people there are fac-ing a difficult road ahead.

“Haiti’s a tough place,” he said. “I’ve seen things that would never happen anywhere else.”

Journey Community of Faith is hosting a special pre-sentation by Dave Paulson, founder with his wife Connie of the Haiti Mission, on Sun., March 21, at Journey during

the morning service at 10 a.m. at Miramar. Paulson will be presenting a DVD overview and discussion of his recent trip to Haiti.

Journey supports the out-reach ministry of The Haiti Mission on a monthly basis. You can see more information about The Haiti Mission at their Web site, haitimission-inc.org. For more information go to journeyduxbury.com.

International Thespian Troupe 355 and Duxbury High School Drama took a page from the

comics, polished a 2 ½ hour show down to 40 minutes, and dazzled their toughest audience – their friends – Friday afternoon at the PAC. “Dog Sees God,” a poignant, funny, and totally unauthorized sequel to Charles Schultz’s “Peanuts” comic strip, fast-

forwards the classic cast into their high school years. Only two major char-acters are missing – Snoopy, and his yellow bird friend, Woodstock.

Author Burt V. Royal rips the story

wide open from the start. Before the curtain opens, Snoopy had to be put down. He had contracted rabies and killed Woodstock in burst of madness. You can see why the Schultz estate blocked any direct reference to the original strip or subsequent TV spe-cials. Charlie Brown (Devon Cheney) becomes “CB,” a teen facing death through the loss of his dog. At the same time, he deals with the deep pains

Ten of the greatest athletes associated with the long and

storied history of Duxbury High School athletics will be honored on Saturday night, May 8, at the Plymouth Coun-try Club in Plymouth, when the Duxbury Boosters Club hosts its third induction cer-emony for the Duxbury High School Athletic Hall of Fame.

This year’s honorees in the induction class for 2008 include: Andy Bolster (’77-track), Matt Cushing (’84-soc-cer), Linda Renner Hartz (’80-field hockey), David Seger (’99-football) and Eric Arnold (’78-wrestling).

Alumni to be honored for the induction class of 2009 include: Kent Bolster (’78-track), Michael “Mickey” Curley (’94-basketball), Jill Maxwell Townsend (’95-soc-cer), Tory Fleming (’94-swim-ming), and Reginold Clark (basketball coach).

“Our goal is to make this a bi-annual event where we honor all those athletes whose careers were marked by out-

standing achievement and notoriety for the Duxbury community,” said event coor-dinator Sheila Tenaglia. “By having such a large induction class, we anticipate this being a huge affair and one that all residents will want to attend so they can honor the people that have made their sports lives in Duxbury so memorable.”

The selections were made by a committee of media members, former DHS coach-es and long-time observers of the Duxbury sports scene, who weighed the accomplishments of close to 20 finalists before narrowing it down to the five winners.

Unlike many booster clubs and athletic depart-ments throughout the Com-monwealth, Duxbury has been slow to embrace the Hall of Fame concept, which is in-tended to be a major fundrais-ing event for the Boosters.

The inaugural celebration in 2005 that inducted Andy Downin ‘91, Bill Curley ‘90, Steven Cass ‘85, Jon Garrity ‘72, and George Teravainen ’42, was a huge social success, but lost the Boosters a signifi-

cant amount of money with an approximate crowd of 100 in attendance.

If the athletic history of Duxbury High School, which in many cases dwarfs the ac-complishments of other similar sized towns, is to become an integral part of the town’s cel-ebration of individual achieve-ment, then May’s event should be a special occasion for cel-ebrating all those athletes who have brought so much enjoy-ment to the Duxbury commu-nity.

The induction ceremony will include several individu-als who not only set records at DHS, but also went on to establish marks nationally and as state champions.

Five of the 10 inductees live locally and are expect-ed to have friends and fam-ily out in full force to honor their accomplishments, while it is hoped that Andy Bolster

(VA), Kent Bolster (PA), Max-well (CT), Fleming (CA), and Clarke (ME) will also make it to town for the special eve-ning.

The only incentive Kent

Bolster needed to become a better discus thrower was beating his older brother.

“We were a very com-petitive family,” said Bolster. “Every weekend we’d go out behind the high school and throw. There is no question it drove the both of us to be bet-ter.”

Training with former Olympian Bob Backus, Bol-ster wasted little time in bet-tering his brother’s record by 2’2” when he finished second at the New England High School championships.

While a senior at DHS, Bolster turned down a schol-arship to Iowa and enrolled at URI. After graduation, he enlisted in the Army’s Special Forces and was stationed in Germany, where he eventually won consecutive All-Europe-an Military Discus champion-ships.

Bolster currently lives in Carlisle, PA with his wife Marina, twin daughters Jes-sica and Karina (19), and son Zachary (17), and is a govern-ment contractor.

of losing childhood – his and that of his friends. Linus Van Pelt (James Gillis) becomes “Van,” Pig Pen (Will Holt) becomes “Matt,” and Lucy Van Pelt (Missy Hibbard) becomes “Van’s Sister,” CB’s girlfriend of sorts, currently confined to a psychi-atric ward after setting a Red Haired Girl’s hair on fire.

These dark metamorphoses interweave with some real laughs – though not all parents would think so. When Marcie (Lauren Feeney) and Tricia (Jenna Pasquale) break out a quart of vodka to add to their milk in the high school lunch room, laughter broke from the audience filled with recognition. Mar-cie and Tricia’s only concern, as they rapidly warmed to the moment, was whether or not anyone was looking.

The heaviest themes of the show dealt with emerging sexual identity, brutal bullying, and ultimately, teen suicide. “Beethoven,” (Roman Perry) has been hounded out of the group. Though he is still questioning, the others have declared him gay. CB tries to rally to his aid, but Matt (who is now brutally rigid in his homophobia) can’t permit this. No longer the lovable “Pig Pen,” Matt’s jealousy and rage explode into violence. All of CB’s efforts (he even kissed Beethoven at a party, just to show the others) come to naught.

Dark as it is, the tragedy some laughs. Van (James Gillis) is a breath of fresh air. Well, not that fresh. He’s become the resident weed smoker in his teen years. His once-precocious philosophy has drifted into a fog of hemp – and he’s funny as all get-out (parents notwithstanding). CB’s sister (Emily Mer-lin) has become – for this week, at least – a Puff-Goth Wiccan. Her evolution dance, from caterpillar to platypus to human, was splendid, and brilliantly lit by Light Designer Nate Files.

Devon Cheney, Will Holt and Roman Perry carried the show’s acute drama brilliantly, and Will’s character emergence from edgy cool-kid to brutal and pained tormentor was both shocking and utterly authentic. Roman explored the loneli-ness and fear of his questioning character wonderfully, never dropping into caricature. Devon – both character and narrator – once again showed his capacity for mastering a demanding role.

Sadly, the show will not go on to “States.” After the warm-up on Friday, Saturday’s competition performance in Brockton was not rewarded by the judges. At their local competition last week, every actor in the cast won an award, along with Student Director Tay McGarigal. Thespian Troupe 355 “Good Knight” Richard Miller said that Tay’s recognition was a first for any student director.

In Brockton, Missy Hibbard and Roman Perry won honors for their acting, but beyond that, the judging was a mystery. Richard Miller, my insider at Brockton, explained that, like figure skating, judging drama is always subjective, and hard to predict. Most importantly, as Richard put it, “We did a fine job.”

A JOB WELL DONE: The girls’ 4x400 team took 4th place in the New England Girls’ division at the Nike Indoor Nationals held at the Reggie Lewis Center this weekend. Their time of 4:08:61 was a personal best by 3 seconds. Team members include Emily Doyle, Laura Nee, Liz Runci and Julia Nee.


Dragons’ DenSports Editor Mike Halloran • [email protected]

Mickey Curley was pretty much in the same shoes as Bolster, following a sibling su-perstar and performing equally well under the pressure.

“I’m sure there was a little pressure following Billy,” said former Coach Foster Cass. “Winning the state champi-onship was very important to Mickey.”

In order to get that cham-pionship, Curley would need to lead the Dragons to the most exciting game in DHS sports history.

Trailing by 25 points in the second half against top-seeded Lincoln-Sudbury, the Dragons battled back and won the game with seven seconds remain-ing on Aaron Smith’s baseline jumper at the Boston Garden to win the EMASS Division II South Sectional final. Curley would end up with 39 points and led Duxbury to the state ti-tle with a win over Greenfield.

Curley then went on to have an illustrious career at Boston College, before moving on to play professionally in Eu-rope. He now lives in Kingston with his wife Tracy and daugh-ter Gracie, and they are expect-ing their second child in April. Curley is a sales rep for Oreck.

Jill Maxwell Townsend be-comes the second female soc-cer player to be inducted into the DHS Hall of Fame.

While teammate and Hall of Fame member Devon Bing-ham was noted for her creativi-ty with the ball, it was Maxwell who was the finisher.

Scoring 30 goals in 1994, Maxwell’s offensive prowess led the Lady Dragons to the State title and a top five ranking in USA Today. She was named a Parade Magazine All-Ameri-can and earned a scholarship to the University of Virginia.

“Jill’s success at UVA was remarkable,” said April Hei-nrichs, her former coach and former Head Coach of the U.S. Women’s Olympic team. “She overcame ACL surgery on both knees to return for her fifth year as our leading scorer. She

consistently displayed mental toughness, courage, discipline, and hard work in her rehab and daily training when she was healthy. She wasn’t the fastest, quickest, or swiftest player at UVA, but she may very well be the player with the biggest heart and never-say-die attitude.”

Maxwell currently lives in Greenwich, Conn. with her husband Bruce and their three children, Haley (5), Kayla (3), and Max (6 months).

Swimming has always been a strong sport for Dux-bury women and Tory Fleming was the woman to beat in the Walker Pool

Starting at Aqua-Dux at age seven, she progressed quickly, competing in her first Junior National event at age 11, while her competitors averaged 14 years of age.

Her sudden ascension to national levels created social conflicts locally that Fleming felt must be dealt with imme-diately.

“I backed off on some of my competitions. It just wasn’t worth it,” said Fleming. “I missed a lot of school activities in the first year and I missed high school practices, but I would still go to the meets. I wanted to do high school

swimming for the social as-pects of it.”

Her return to the joys of high school sports did little to hurt her swimming career. She went on to become one of the most dominant female swim-mers in the state and enrolled at UConn, where she held five records at one time and was a three-time Big East selection.

Fleming is engaged and re-sides in San Diego, where she sells residential real estate.

Always the fashion plate, Reggie Clark strode up and down the sidelines in his green suit during his coaching career

in Duxbury.A math teacher for 22 years

at DHS from 1971 through 1993, Clark also coached cross-coun-try for 20 years and track for 14, while his basketball coach-ing career spanned 15 years and included a 190-30 record in his 10-year varsity stint.

Clark was the head coach when Billy Curley and com-pany won the state title in 1989 and might have had a shot at a second title in 1994 had he stuck around for the Mickey Curley era.

However, Clark made a de-cision to seek a higher calling

in his life and moved to Maine where he became the pastor of The Church of The Nazarene in Ellsworth, Maine.

“I had such a great time coaching so many players, es-pecially the Curley kids. They were very special people,” said Clark. “Before I left in ’93 I talked to Mickey and the other kids and told them they’d be fine no matter who coached them. They had a good feel-ing about themselves after we talked and I knew at that point it was time to go.”

Clark now resides in Frank-lin, Maine with his wife Joan-na, and has four sons: Patrick, Chris, Mike, and Samon.

Organizers of the event are hoping that the Duxbury com-munity will put its full support behind this celebration, and are asking all high school coaches, team captains, and former team-mates of the inductees to spend an enjoyable evening in ac-knowledging the achievements of these great individuals.

The evening will start off with a social hour (cash bar) beginning at 6 p.m., followed by a buffet dinner and the awards presentation.

Tickets are $35 and can be bought by contacting Sheila Tenaglia at 781-934-7225 or sheilateneglia@gmailcom. Tickets can also be purchased by sending a check to Tenaglia at 146 Bay Road, Duxbury, MA 02332.

The Gridiron Club of Greater Boston recently named Babson College junior forward Terry Woods (DHS ’06) as one of 12 semifinalists for its tenth annual Joe Concannon Award, presented each year to the best Ameri-can-born Division II/III college hockey player in New England. An ECAC East All-Conference Second Team selection this winter, Woods enjoyed a breakout season in which he led the Beavers in scor-ing with 14 goals and 16 assists for 30 points while playing in all 28 games. He ranked among the league leaders in nearly every offensive category, ranking seventh in points, eighth in goals, 13th in assists and powerplay points (11), third in short-handed points (4), and third in game-winning goals (3)… Junior

Evan Novakowski (DHS ’07) and his Bucknell University men’s distance medley relay team finished eighth at last week’s ICA4 Indoor Track and Field Championships at the Reggie Lewis Center in Boston… Senior Matt Levesque (DHS ’06) scored 2 goals as Skidmore stayed undefeated (3-0)

with an 8-3 win over Western CT…Senior Kevin Gould (DHS ’05) scored 2 goals and added an as-sist, as ninth-ranked Bentley knocked off fourth-ranked NYIT, 11-10, last Wednesday in NY. On Saturday in NY, Gould added another assist in a 7-4 loss to top-ranked C.W. Post (5-0)… Senior Max Quinzani (DHS ’06) scored 3 more goals to run his scoring streak to 51 games, but it wasn’t enough to keep the NC Tar Heels from pinning a 13-7 loss on Duke in Durham last Wednesday.

Ducinski (1-2) walked one and struck out seven as she picked up her first win of the young season… Junior Leigh Tedeschi (DHS ’07) scored 4 goals for Bentley in a 15-7 season opening win over Mercy last Wednesday. She tied her career high on Saturday with 6 goals in a 21-0 blowout of Queens College of NY… Merrimack junior Jamie Fagan (DHS ’07) was credited with 3 groundballs in the Warrior’s 14-4 win over Rollins last week in Florida… Junior Ben Cederberg (DHS ’07) had a goal and sophomore Charlie Willauer (Proctor Academy ’08) picked up an assist in Wheaton’s 20-8 pummeling at the hands of Keene State on Thursday… Junior Kate Cipolletti’s (DHS ’07) #7/9-ranked B.U.

The Duxbury Youth Hock-ey Bantam A Team won the 2010 Massachusetts Tier II-L State Championship on March 7 in Springfield with a 2-0 win over Norwood.

The team, comprised of 13 and 14-year old players from Duxbury, qualified for the State Tournament by winning their District Playoffs back in Octo-ber. They entered the tourna-ment as one of twelve teams vying for the state title. After winning their bracket, they moved onto a semi-final match with North Shore hockey power Burlington.

Duxbury got on the board early in the first period when Drew Hadley converted a pass from Matt Murphy to go up 1-0. They doubled the lead in the second period when Tanner Williams found James Marcello alone in front of the net where his shot gave Duxbury a 2-0 lead. The game remained tight-ly contested deep into the third period until Nick Marrocco stripped the puck from a Burl-ington defenseman deep in the zone and rang one off the post with under five minutes left in the game for a 3-0 lead.

Mike Doyle found defense-men Scott Whear with a great pass, as the blueliner jumped in from the point on a power-play and buried his shot in the back of the net to seal the 4-0 vic-tory. The win sent the Dragons into the state finals to face Nor-wood, who had beaten a strong Stoneham team by a 3-0 score in their semifinal.

Facing a very strong Nor-wood team that had the lowest goals against in the tourna-

ment, the Duxbury defense and goaltending was the story of the game. Led by goalie Chris Johnson and defensemen Tyler Powers, Shawn Errasti, Patrick Buell and Whear, the Dux-bury defense played tough and poised hockey in their own end to keep Norwood off the score-board.

Entering the third period tied at 0-0, Duxbury finally got on the board just 16 seconds in when Marrocco found Had-ley flying down the right wing where he fired a hard, low shot through a screen to give his team a 1-0 lead. Norwood responded by attacking offensively, but a number of highlight reel saves by Johnson preserved the tight lead for Duxbury.

With play at a furious pace and both teams continuing to get chances at both ends of the ice, Murphy won a battle for the puck in the corner and threaded a perfect pass in front to Mar-rocco, who fired a one-timer into the top corner of the net with under two minutes left in the game to give Duxbury a 2-0 lead.

A desperate Norwood squad quickly pulled their goalie for an extra attacker and mounted a last ditch assault on the Dux-bury net, only to be turned back by Johnson and his defense, giving Duxbury the win and the state crown.

The team now moves onto the New England Sectionals at St. Anselms College in NH to face the State Champions from Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Connecticut on the weekend of March 19.

Duxbury Cub Scout Pack 1776 cel-ebrated 100 years

of Scouting at their annual Blue & Gold banquet, held at Indian Pond Country Club in Kingston.

The purpose of the blue and gold banquet is to cel-ebrate the pack’s anniversary, recognize pack leaders and other adults who have been instrumental in the pack’s suc-cess, and inspire the leaders, Scouts, and parents.

This year’s birthday event was inspired by one of Boy Scout’s founding Fathers, Daniel Carter Beard. The ban-quet’s theme was celebrating Native American culture. As the Scouts and Family mem-bers entered the main entrance of Indian Pond, they were in-vited to participate in a His-tory of Scouting experiential showcase.

Before the meal Boy Scouts from Troop 62 (Liam & Owen MacDonald, Carlie Siegener and Pat Gerrin) read a Native American Prayer. The Cub Scouts then gathered on the dance floor to watch the short film “100 Years of Scouting, Celebrating the Adventure, Continuing the Journey.”

Birds in HawaiiBy FaHy Bygate, clipper columnist

I just returned from a trip to Hawaii and I am already planning to go back. It is true that the beaches are stroked with long, high waves that cause people to go

mad and stand up on long boards and ride them into shore. And the flowers seem to have been put out as decorative items for our enjoyment. It is true that the people are laid back and friendly. It is also true that Hawaii is a place of extraordinary natural beauty.

We did not have many opportunities to look for birds but the ones I saw were all unusual and exotic. I had heard that there were not many species of birds there and so I expected the birding to be dull. Ha! The Hawaiian Islands have the greatest concentration of rare birds on the planet. Some of Hawaii’s birds are so unique that they exist only on one of the islands.

Millions of years ago, these islands evolved to have nearly 80 species of birds. But eventually man changed the entire ecosystem with his introduction of pigs, dogs, cats, rats, cattle and mongoose, wrecking havoc on the islands’ native bird populations. The conversion of natural habitat to agriculture and development had the most devastating effect on birds and now 26 (and possibly many more) of Hawaii’s known native birds are extinct, 30 are considered endangered, and one is threatened.

Islands are funny places, especially if they are very isolated. They have fewer species of plants and animals, but those that they have are often rare or unique to that place alone. This makes them more vulnerable than their continental cousins and puts them in danger of extinction more easily. It doesn’t take many mongooses or bulldozers to wipe out an entire species. The danger that island populations experience can be seen as a microcosm of flora and fauna in general as we divide and conquer the world of nature, forming isolated pockets of forest birds, destroying the habitat of creatures of the sea and rain forest, introducing non-native species of plants and animals.

With all this danger in mind, it was a thrill to watch a Red-crested Cardinal singing from a wire. You might think our cardinal should be called the “red-crested” one but this bird has a brilliant white neck and belly to set off the red face, throat and crest. The state bird the Nene looks like our Canada Goose but with short legs and a shorter body. Six of these endangered birds flew over our heads calling as we explored an old sugarcane plantation. The Apapane is a common endemic bird that reminded me of a Scarlet Tanager. It is red with black wings and seemed to be found on all the islands we visited. It was often seen feeding on lehua blossoms the same brilliant red as the bird. I also saw the Red-whiskered Bulbul an introduced species from Asia. It is a handsome bird with a black crest, white cheek patch and a small patch of red “whiskers” behind the eye. Three of these exotic birds visited us at a luau on a beach on Oahu. There were Albatross and Tropicbirds and Frigatebirds and so many more. Honeycreepers and wild Parakeets, pure white Fairy Terns and Red-footed Boobys.

We ran out of time to find many of the most interesting birds in our whirlwind tour but we regard that as an excuse to return. Birding on Hawaii can be very exciting, fairly easy if you have good transportation and guaranteed to add many new and beautiful species to your life list. Aloha!

Girl’s State at Stonehill College

The American Legion Auxiliary will hold its annual Massachusetts Girl’s State at Stonehill College in Eas-ton from June 13 though 18. Duxbury girl’s in their junior year of high school (DHS or private schools) are encour-aged to apply if they are in-terested in politics and wish to learn more about state and local government.

Three hundred girls from all areas of the state will par-ticipate in the weeks study by establishing and operating their own city or town from two political parties, nomi-nate candidates for office, conduct campaigns and hold elections. The girls will form a choir, enjoy sports and end the week with a musical re-vue.

This week long confer-ence is paid for by the Dux-bury Legion Auxiliary. Inter-ested girls should see a DHS guidance counselor or contact Ann Reid, co-chairwoman, at 781-585-3784.

Pilgrim Church of Duxbury is reaching out to Duxbury and neighboring communities to support a food drive sponsored by Boston Cares and its partner agencies, the Boston Globe and Building Impact. The mission of Boston Cares, founded in 1991, is to “organize and lead team-oriented volunteer oppor-tunities and services in and around Boston that have a positive impact on communities and individuals.” To this end, Boston Cares organizes volunteers from over 100 communities. Their efforts support 170 agencies in Boston and its suburbs, mobiliz-ing as many as 20,000 volunteers in one year.

The theme of this year’s drive is Tummy to Toes. While it includes food and footwear, Pilgrim Church is collecting only cans of tuna, jars of peanut butter, baby formula, and baby food. No glass containers can be accepted. Last year, 350 items were collected by the church. The goal this year is 500. Through Boston Cares, these items will be delivered to the Greater Bos-ton Food Bank. With many difficult choices of how to use lim-ited resources facing families today, Boston Cares is trying to provide support for those in need. They believe “volunteerism is a force for positive social and personal change (and that) ev-ery level of volunteering commitment has value.” Please bring any of the listed items to Pilgrim Church during the month of February. Marked receptacles are available in the downstairs office area of the church at 404 Washington Street in Duxbury. Your donations are greatly appreciated. For further informa-tion about Boston Cares and its activities visit bostoncares.org. Contact Pilgrim Church at 781-934-6591 with questions.

Sweetheart Dance: With caller Bob Butler at the helm, the annual Girl Scout Sweetheart Dance was truly enjoyed by both the girls and their escorts on a recent Saturday evening. From traditional square dances to The Chicken and the Virginia Reel the girls were in constant motion. Cadettes from Troop 80331 were on hand to collect the many food items donated by the attendees as they arrived and to serve the yummie sundaes dur-ing intermission, as well as enjoy the dancing. Attendees had their photos taken by photographer Betsey Campbell and will be receiving a framed photo shortly. We are grateful to Betsey, Tom Drummy our custodian, parents Linda Abelli, Nick Fichter, Caren Harrison and Anne Ward who assisted with the sundaes and set up.

Five Brownie Girl Scouts from Troop 80383 take time out from the dancing to pose for a photo: Hadley Wilson, Gracie Campbell, Ana Bertino, Rebecca DiVirgilio and Maddy Berry.

The Virginia Reel was the perfect way to end the evening!

With the squares formed, the dance was in full swing.

Daisy Scout Sophie Roy brought her grandfather to the dance.

Make-your-own sundaes were enjoyed by everyone during intermission.

The Duxbury Free Li-brary’s next film in the Fourth Friday Film series, “Volver” directed by Pedro Amnodovar will screen on Friday, Feb. 26 at 7 p.m. in the Merry Room, library lower level. Anyone with questions about Pené-lope Cruz’s talent as an actor will have all the answers after watching this film. Almodó-var treads familiar ground and works with some of his favor-

ite actresses—including Car-men Maura, Lola Dueñas, and Chus Lampreave—to create a film of genuine emotional res-onance. The film is rated R.

Film screenings are pre-ceded and followed by lively discussion led by Prof. Man-drell. Admission is free and refreshments are available.

March 26: Songcatch-er (USA 2000) dir. Maggie Greenwald. 109 mins. PG-13.

Although somewhat anach-ronistic, the music and Janet McTeer’s pitch-perfect perfor-mance more than make up for whatever is less than apt for the period. With Pat Carrol and Aidan Quinn, as well as a surprisingly affecting Emmy Rossum in her first feature film.

April 23: Ma vie en rose / My Life in Pink (France 1997) dir. Alain Berliner 88 mins.

Rated R. A family with a secret that it tries desperately to keep under wraps. Eventually, ev-erything comes out—doesn’t it always?—and everyone has to make a choice about what is important to them and why. A subtle and sweet film with 13-year-old Georges Du Fresne in a remarkable debut perfor-mance.

May 28: Next Stop Won-derland (USA 1998) dir. Brad

Anderson. 104 mins. Rated R. Who says that a mother doesn’t know best? Who bet-ter to place a personal ad for her single daughter in a local paper? Yet another romantic comedy with the advantage of terrific writing, outstanding performances, and a Boston location. Not to be missed.
