As Zoning Board of Appeal Chairwoman Judi Barrett had to repeatedly remind the room, the matter at hand was one of narrow scope –– does the ZBA have the jurisdiction to hear the Planning Board’s appeal of a building per-mit. But it was obvious during a public hearing Thursday night that the bigger issues of what is the definition of an accessory building, and has Director of In-spectional Services Scott Lam-

biase issued building permits in error, is far from resolved.

The hearing on Thursday was a continued public hearing on a property at 21 River Lane, where the Planning Board says a permit was issued for a struc-ture that doesn’t conform to the rules of an accessory building. Duxbury’s bylaws do not allow two homes on one lot, but there has been some confusion over the past couple of years as to what the definition of a secondary ––

History is a living thing, collected by people in their minds

and hearts –– and also in their homes, in the form of photo-graphs and other items of histori-cal significance.

The Mass. Memories Road Show will be coming to the Dux-bury Free Library this Saturday to collect and scan photos, as well as interviews with residents, as part of a larger effort to create a digital historical archive. The Mass Memories Road Show is collecting photos, videos

and information from residents of the state in order to create a digital archive of local history.

Come share the memories ZBA hears dispute over enforcement

By susanna sheehan, Clipper staff [email protected]

The Board of Selectmen declared at their meeting Mon-day night that Johnson Golf Management, Inc. violated the terms of its management agreement for the town-owned North Hill golf course and vot-ed to terminate the contract, effective Oct. 31.

Selectmen also voted to notify and instruct all current members of the North Hill Country Golf Club on Merry Avenue not to pay any mem-bership fees until further no-tice from the town.

They asked Town Manager Richard MacDonald to pres-

ent them options for the future management of the nine-hole course by their next meeting on Oct. 25.

Selectmen voted 2-1 on these decisions. Selectman Christopher Donato cast the dissenting vote.

Two weeks ago, MacDon-ald presented the Board of Selectmen with a list of nine alleged contract violations by Johnson Golf of Weston.

Selectmen based their termination decision on what they said were the four most serious problems: that Johnson Golf failed to provide a surety bond to protect the financial

Dennis Murphy’s attor-ney’s have filed a motion to dismiss in the defamation case against the former chairman of the Zoning Board of Appeals.

On June 4, John McClus-key, a Duxbury resident who was paid as a consultant on the 40B affordable housing project called Merry Village, filed a suit against Murphy personally and in his capacity as the ZBA chairman, alleg-ing defamation and asking for $450,000 in damages.

McCluskey claims Murphy had defamed him in a series of public statements relating to the Merry Village project.

The lawsuit is part of an often contentious process swirling around Merry Vil-lage, the first project in town begun under the auspices of 40B, commonly known as the “anti-snob zoning act,” which allows developers to circum-vent local zoning regulations if they sell a certain percentage of the units for below market-rate.

In an April 26 letter from Gina Dailey, director of com-prehensive permit programs for MassHousing, the state authority that oversees 40Bs, Delphic Associates LLC and

South Shore Housing Devel-opment Corporation were in-formed that they will not be approved as housing lottery agents (in the case of Delphic) or project monitors (in the case of South Shore Housing) for a period of six months, citing concerns over documentation regarding a relative of Mc-Cluskey’s who was sold one of the units in Merry Village.

Delphic and South Shore Housing appealed the suspen-sions, but according to Eric Gedstad, manager of corpo-rate communications at Mass Housing, they were upheld and the two agencies cannot apply for reinstatement until November.

The Zoning Board held several hearings regarding Merry Village, saying they were still missing documents including a cost certification so that an accountant hired by the town could review them. The project’s developers did not attend the meetings, and eventually this summer the board voted 4-0-1, with then-chairman Dennis Murphy ab-staining, to close the hearing and “to refer the matter to the inspector general for indepen-dent review,” according to then-ZBA Vice Chairwoman Judi Barrett.

Phone calls to a press per-son at the inspector general’s office seeking comment were

not returned by press time.On Oct. 8, Murphy’s at-

torney Daniel Skrip filed a motion to dismiss in Brockton Superior Court.

“Dismissal is warranted re-garding Count I because a) the Plaintiff does not have stand-ing and b) there is no case or controversy,” wrote Skrip in the motion. “Dismissal is war-ranted regarding Count II be-cause not one of the statements Plaintiff cites constitutes defa-mation.”

Skrip also filed a motion for a protective order to pre-vent McCluskey’s attorneys from taking any depositions or other discovery.

McCluskey’s attorney, Paul Adams, filed a motion in opposition to both the motion to dismiss and the protective order the same day, according to court filings. Adams claims that Murphy never had the au-thority to call the hearings in his which his client was de-famed.

“Surely, such a challenge [may] be brought by one who claims injury –– here, a tar-nished reputation –– as a re-sult of a board’s free ranging inquiry into areas clearly be-yond its jurisdiction as a mat-ter of law,” wrote Adams.

A judge will conduct a hearing on all the motions on Nov. 30 in Brockton.

An exaltation of larksBy fahy ByGate, Clipper Columnist

In my last column I talked about Black Skimmers. Three of these water birds showed up in Maine while I was there and the birders declared them rare. It was exciting

and when I went to the Internet for more information about them, I found that like many birds and other animals, they have a collective name: an embezzlement of skimmers!

Collective names for things can be found in English as far back as 1486. That year a nun wrote “The Book of St. Albans,” a book on hawking and hunting and listed dozens of these terms. Today many are quite common and used by most people: a herd of cattle, a flock of chickens, a pack of wolves. Then there are the less common but still familiar ones like a gaggle of geese, a school of fish, a bevy of quail, a colony of bees. But eventually the nouns began to get poetic and very creative: a murder of crows, a parliament of owls, a skein of geese. I found a generation of vipers, a wisp of snipes, an unkindness of ravens and a descent of woodpeckers.

I love these words and feel it is my obligation to induce people to not only use them but to invent their own. There are several Web sites where you can submit your ideas. Some are devoted to collective nouns for human occupations. The Wordwizard.com says, “I think it’s time to increase the choice of available collective epithets for the many modern and not-so-modern occupations nearly all of us have to encounter at some time…” Inventing your own can be fun. People are very original with entries: A potful of missionaries is one of my favorites as is an eternity of saints.

But the bird groups intrigue me the most: A charm of finches is terrific, as is a murmuration of starlings. And there are many more that are mostly poetic: an unkindness of ravens, a deceit of lapwings, an exaltation of larks. Robert Reed has written a wonderful book by that name, “An Exaltation of Larks,” a beautiful book with lovely illustrations. It can be found in any good book store or online at Amazon.com. It talks about the origins of these words and encourages the reader to add to the long list that it includes. Please send me some of your own!

Duxbury Camera Club presents Critique Night on Nov. 3

Wednesday, Nov. 3 is the Duxbury Camera Club’s mem-bers’ turn to have their work critiqued by someone who knows a good photograph when she sees one. The featured guest, Becky Haletky, has won over 275 awards for both her photography and painting. She has a BFA in photography from Massachusetts College of Art, and has been painting in watercolor since 1980, using photography as a tool in her own painting and in her class-es at the Fuller Museum of Art and South Shore Art Center. DCC members are invited to bring two matted or mounted photos in one of two categories: a “friendly” critique is offered for those who may wish positive encouragement, or a “no holds barred” critique for those who are ready to hear unvarnished, construc-tive feedback. Prints must be between 8x10 and 16x20 inches. Becky comes highly recommended from the South Shore Cam-era Club where her Critique Nights have been well received.

Later in November members are invited to join the field trip to Plimouth Plantation, on Nov. 13. There are two upcoming members’ workshops. On Oct. 30, Glenn Pollock will be repeat-ing his popular Matting and Mounting session, and on Nov. 20 Lynne Ford will present An Introduction to Digital Workflow. Information and registration are available online at duxburyca-meraclub.org.

Duxbury Camera Club meets the first Wednesday of each month, from 7-9:15 p.m., in the Merry Room of the Duxbury Free Library. Guests are always welcome at the monthly meet-ings, while workshops, field trips and critiques are available to members only. For more information visit the Web site or con-tact [email protected].

or accessory –– structure is.The homeowner was not

present at the hearing, but her at-torney, Paul Driscoll, came to ar-gue that the Planning Board filed the appeal too late and the mat-ter shouldn’t be before the ZBA at all.

At issue are some confus-ing timelines. There is a 30-day limit to appeal a building permit, although a board or resident can ask for zoning enforcement at any time. The Planning Board says they did not realize a building had started construction until after the deadline had passed. Driscoll said that the property had been dis-cussed at a staff meeting involv-ing Town Planner Tom Broadrick and other officials – but even that is complicated because minutes aren’t taken at those meetings the way they are at planning or zon-ing board meetings.

Broadrick said the Planning Board has been talking about the overall issue of zoning enforce-ment and incorrectly issued per-mits for months, and that was the subject of the meeting, but the is-sue of River Lane specifically did not come up.

“There’s a lot of people who don’t think the Director of In-spectional Services was issuing permits properly ... we tried to address it internally,” said Broad-rick. “I didn’t know about 21 River Lane. It wasn’t on my ra-dar, or I would have put it on my agenda.”

“Yes, the Planning Board has been concerned about zoning vio-lations,” added Planning Board Chairwoman Amy MacNab. “That is on the record, all over the place. It is of no surprise to any-one we have been following these issues ... for some time.”

Former selectman Ruth Row-

ley suggested that the 30-day rule didn’t come from a state law but from a court case and therefore didn’t apply to Duxbury. She also urged the board to keep the larger issues in focus and said the zon-ing rules were being ignored.

“Somewhere or other we’ve gotten off the track of what’s re-quired in our zoning bylaw,” she said. “This is not the fault of the people who bought that property, it’s the fault of the town ... This town is not going to be able to maintain because we lost our way in abiding by what we set as a framework.”

Driscoll also sent a letter to the board asking the member and former chairman Dennis Murphy recuse himself from voting on River Lane, saying that he was present at the disputed meeting.

Murphy said he consulted with the State Ethics Commission and was told there was no reason for him to step away. However, he did not participate in the discus-sion and abstained from the final vote.

In summing up, Driscoll said that the Planning Board was un-fairly targeting his client.

“This is the wrong case, brought by the wrong party at the wrong time, on the wrong prop-erty for the wrong reasons,” he said. “The Planning Board has a dispute with Mr. Lambiase ... that’s fine. The evidence clearly shows that what they did here is in total disregard of the interest of [the property owner.]”

The Zoning Board eventually voted to accept jurisdiction and move forward with the case.

“It’s a close call, but given that the evidence seems to tip in favor of the Planning Board not having [knowledge of the River Lane property before the dead-line,]” said ZBA member Michael

Gill. “I think they have success-fully rebutted the challenge.”

He said that Driscoll was hanging his case on a statement made by Lambiase as well as a list of disputed properties that didn’t seem to exist in any official minutes.

Barrett said she felt the same way.

“The documents suggest that River Lane did not come up in discussions that took place within that 30-day period,” she said. “I could make that decision if I had persuasive evidence in front of us by I don’t.”

The hearing was continued to Nov. 18 so that the board can rule on the actual matter of the poten-tial violation.

After the meeting, MacNab took issue with a suggestion by Driscoll that his client felt intimi-dated.

“I would hope that the resi-dents of this town would feel if they need to request zoning en-forcement. ... there’s a process to do that. This process doesn’t need to be filled with intimidation and threats,” she said. “As Planning Board members we do have an agenda. We have total regard for the residents of this town. That’s our agenda.”

Gill told MacNab that Driscoll was just doing his job and that he had argued convincingly –– just not enough to convince the ZBA members.

“Don’t take it personally. He’s just doing his job and he’s doing it well,” Gill said.

“I feel sorry for these people who end up in this situation,” said Jean Clark, who was in the audience. “I don’t feel punitive at all. I think the process is broken, clearly.”

As the kick-off to National Education Week, the Duxbury Education Foundation will be holding its second annual “An-swer the Call” Phonathon Sun-day, Nov. 14 through Tuesday, Nov. 16. Our first Phonathon, held last November, was a tre-mendous success. Over 500 Duxbury residents “Answered the Call” resulting in a record $40,000 in annual appeal do-nations – nearly half of the $85,000 in total grants award-ed by the DEF last year to fund innovative programs for the Duxbury Public Schools 2010/2011 school year.

On Sunday, Nov. 14 the calls will be made between 4:30-8:30 p.m. by Duxbury students, teachers and school administrators. On Monday, Nov. 15 and Tuesday, Nov. 16 the calls will be made between 6-8:30 p.m. by community volunteers as well as current and past DEF Board members. Coldwell Banker, William Raveis, and Vantage Realty have again donated their of-fice space and phone lines to the DEF.

The Duxbury Education Foundation is a private, not-for-profit organization founded in 1989 after Proposition 2 1/2

budget cutbacks had forced the school systems to eliminate many fine arts and enrichment programs. Since that time, the DEF has evolved and now focuses on supporting Dux-bury’s public schools through grants used to fund state of the art technology and innovative

educational programs. Since its inception, DEF has fund-ed in excess of $1 million in grants.

Josh Cutler grew up right here on Bay Ridge Lane and spent his childhood enjoying all the things we love about Duxbury. He played in the sand at Shipyard

Lane and tagged along with his mom to Sweetser’s and later the A&P. His dad took him for his first boat

ride in Duxbury Bay and taught him to fish for stripers off Powder Point Bridge. His favorite

pastime was climbing on the giant rolls of newsprint at his grandparents’ local business, better known as the

Duxbury Clipper.

Josh returned to Duxbury to carry on the family newspaper tradition and to raise his own family. During his decade-long tenure Josh has been a

leading voice for land conservation, open government and fiscal responsibility.

Josh has contributed to our community in many other ways –– as a member of the Duxbury Business

Association, the War Memorial project and the Rural & Historical Society to name a few. He

currently serves on the Planning Board.

Now Josh is continuing that spirit of public service by running for the state legislature. Josh’s parents, a Democrat and a Republican, taught him to be an independent thinker and creative

problem solver.

As your next state representative, Josh will carry the lessons he’s learned growing up

in Duxbury to the State House. He knows what makes our town special and will work to make sure we keep it that way. A vote for Josh Cutler is a vote for Duxbury’s future.

State Representative Daniel Webster (R-Pembroke) recently picked up three endorsements in his re-election bid in the Plym-outh 6th district. The Massachusetts Nurses Association, and Pembroke’s Stetson Pond Preservation Committee have both thrown their support behind Webster. Each group praised Web-ster for his advocacy in the areas of patient safety, lower taxes and environmental preservation. He also won the endorsement of CLT’s 2 1/2 Political Action Committee. CLT’s 2 1/2 PAC, the political arm of Citizens for Limited Taxation, was originally created to support candidates who would defend Proposition 2 ½ in the State Legislature. It now endorses candidates who sup-port taxpayers on a variety of issues, and uses the CLT Legisla-tive rating to identify pro-taxpayer legislators. [Editor’s note: The Clipper does not normally run candidate’s corner in the two weeks before the election, but this notice was held out of last week’s paper for space reasons.]

“The goal is to document Massachusetts history through family photographs and sto-ries,” said Heather Cole, who is the project manager for the Mass. Memories Road Show.

The project was started around 15 years ago at UMass Amherst in an effort to connect educators with local historical resources. Originally the proj-ect ran summer workshops for teachers.

In 2004, there were a number of conversations be-tween folks at UMass and others about how there wasn’t a whole lot of 20th and 21st century local history resources available.

“When they tried to teach about recent things they didn’t have the resources available,” Cole said.

She said that she started to work for Mass. Memo-ries, when they came to her hometown of Norwood, and the project morphed into the traveling history roadshow it is today.

“The goal is to visit all 351 cities and towns in Mass. ... to create a digital portrait of Masschusetts,” she said.

The project visits about 6-8 communities per year, and has covered about a dozen so far.

“I joke that my grandchil-dren will be working on this project,” Cole said.

The road show partners with a local community or-ganization, and in Duxbury’s case they’re working with the Duxbury Free Library, the Duxbury Rural and Histori-cal Society and the Interfaith Council. People are asked to bring in two or three photos which are then scanned (the person keeps the original).

“We ask that the photo-graphs be important to them and reflective of the communi-ty ... it’s very broadly defined,” Cole said.

Volunteers will scan the photo, and collect informa-

tion on where and when it was taken, and the people depicted. An archivist will be on hand to provide information on how to care for historic photographs.

A videographer will then conduct an interview to gath-er personal reflections on the photographs, and at the end of the process a photo is taken as a souvenir of the day.

“It’s a fun event that can bring the community togeth-er,” Cole said.

Time slots can be sched-

uled in advance, but residents are welcome to just stop by the library between 10 a.m.-4 p.m., Cole said.

The whole process takes about 15 minutes and refresh-ments will be available.

“We try not to make it feel like an assembly line,” she said.

The photos and other in-formation are then taken back to the archives at UMass, and digital copies will go on the project’s Web site at mass-memories.net.

Although the project origi-nally was open to other histori-cal items, they now concen-trate on photos.

“We really settled on pho-tographs as being something most people have ... it’s some-thing that’s easy for us to digi-tize and manage,” said Cole.

The photographs people

bring in run the gamut, from daguerreotypes from the 1860s to pictures of hair metal bands from the 1980s. Even things that seem personal such as wedding photographs or pho-tos of a home can have histori-cal value.

“In every community, people come up with totally different things,” Cole said. “In a way they all are unique because none of these photo-graphs exist in any museum or archives.”

At one of the road shows, an older man showed up with a photo of himself and a friend in a bar in New York City. The man scanned the photograph, and filled out a short question-naire without giving up too much information.

“This particular gentleman was pretty reserved,” Cole said. “But when we got him in front of the camera he started really talking.”

It turned out that the pho-tograph was the man and his best friend, having a last drink before shipping out to World War II. The friend didn’t make it home.

“People think they don’t have anything to share because they’re not rich or famous,” Cole said. “We believe every-one has a story that’s important to them, a story to tell.”

Just For Daisies: Have you signed up to attend the an-nual Halloween/Juliette Low Birthday Party, scheduled to be held from 6-8 p.m. on Oct. 29 at Holy Family Church? Daisy leaders should have received a flier via e-mail to forward to the girls in their troops. Pre-registration is required, and the form is on the bottom of the flier. This is always a fun-filled evening for our young-est Scouts and, this year our Cadettes have worked hard to ensure the girls will again have a great time. In addition each attendee will receive an adorable new patch. We regret that due to the large number of Daisy Scouts this year we have to limit the number we can accommodate. Therefore, we suggest signing up early to avoid disappointment. Ques-tions? Call Joan Riser at 781-934-5427.

A Family Affair: Come and join us for an hour of ice skating at The Bog in Kingston on Tuesday, Nov. 2, from 9:20-10:20 a.m. This event is open to all Duxbury Girl Scouts and their families. We are asking for a voluntary $1 donation

per person to go toward our 100th Anniversary Service Project. Please remember that there are no ice skate rentals at The Bog and no hockey sticks at this event.

Something New: Thanks to the hard work of Betsey Campbell our Service Unit will now have a Web site where Service Unit events will be posted. This site will be ac-cessible to all leaders who wish to become a member (there is no cost to join). You simply have to e-mail Betsey at [email protected]. We are hoping this will make it easier for leaders to keep track of upcoming events.

Community Service Op-portunities: We are again do-ing the tags for the Interfaith Council’s Christmas gifts. I do need more troops to help with punching holes, placing yarn (pre-cut) onto each one and lettering it with ‘boy’ or ‘girl’ and the age. We have lots to do so please let Joan know if your troop can help and we will get a packet ready for you. Com-pleted tags are due back to Joan by Nov. 21.

Festival of Trees Orna-ments: Also we are decorating a tree at the Festival of Trees again this year with a Seaside Christmas theme. If your troop can make ornaments/ garland please let Joan know. Partici-pating troops are put into a drawing to decorate the tree. Ornaments need to be dropped off at Colleen Brayer’s home at 116 Tobey Garden Street by Nov. 21.

Troop Happenings: A big thank you to the Nudd fam-ily for being so generous with their time and efforts for Daisy Troop 80464. The girls had a fantastic time learning about Draco and dressing him up for Halloween!

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

In the weeks leading up to the state election, the Clipper will be asking questions of the candidates running for state representative for the Sixth and 12th Plymouth districts. This week’s question follows:

Part 1: If there was a bill that would require adults applying for public benefits such as public housing, unemployment benefits, welfare or workers compensation, to supply proof of legal residence such as a state driver’s license, came up for a vote in the House, would you support it? Part 2: What would you do to foster job creation in the district moving forward? How would you foster the growth of existing businesses or encourage new businesses?

Precincts 2-5

There was such a proposal offered in the form of an amendment to pending legislation last spring. I

supported the amendment because I believe strongly that social justice is just as impor-tant as social responsibility.

My grandparents were Irish immigrants who came to this country in search of work,

opportunity, and a better way of life. They entered the U.S. through the front door, worked hard, raised a family, and made valuable contributions to this nation.

Our nation’s di-versity is one of its

greatest strengths. We should welcome im-migrants who seek a better life, are willing to work, speak the language, and obey the laws of the land. I have called on Congress to pass a functional immigration law in order to facilitate a workable immigration system. For those who immigrate to the U.S. legally, we should welcome them and assist them in their timely integration. Humanity, justice, and respect for the rule of law are all core values of our nation and should be the basis for immigration reform as well.

Our federal government has failed to pass meaningful immigration reform to ad-dress the changes our nation has experienced during the last 50 years. The absence of a national policy and supporting regulations has resulted in a sharp increase in illegal im-migration. The presence of millions of un-documented immigrants has placed an un-sustainable financial burden on our medical facilities, law enforcement agencies, public schools, and the court system, all at the tax-payers’ expense. The current immigration

law is unfair to our citizens and to those who wish to become citizens of the United States. Congress must act!

Part 2: It is not the responsibility of government to create jobs, but to create a cli-mate in which businesses can grow and cre-ate new jobs. An improved business climate will be achieved by streamlining the regula-tory process, stabilizing the tax system, and by creating incentives for businesses to lo-cate in Massachusetts.

I have had a successful career in the pri-vate sector, built businesses and created good jobs for more than 25 years. I have learned that economic expansion cannot occur with-out economic justice for all. As a legislator, I have supported investments in target indus-tries capable of creating new businesses and good paying jobs. In addition to my ongoing support of the tourism industry, I have sup-ported investments in industries like green energy, life sciences, biotechnology, and the film industry.

As a man who has served as a senior ex-ecutive in a publicly held company, a busi-ness owner, and consultant, I understand the many challenges faced by small businesses. These broad experiences provide me with a unique perspective on legislation involv-ing small business, tax policy, workers compensation, unemployment, labor laws, insurance, workforce training, and educa-tion. Small businesses are the fuel of our economic engine. Sustainable economic de-velopment and job creation require prudent regulatory oversight and a firm commitment to corporate citizenship. It is up to govern-ment to build and maintain an environment where businesses can flourish and create new job opportunities.

Yes. Allowing illegal immigrants to take advantage of public benefits is unfair to the hard-

working taxpayers who are having a tough time as it is getting by. Our state coffers are stretched to the brink and we cannot afford

to be funding pro-grams for those who shouldn’t be eligible in the first place.

My preference would be for the fed-eral government to develop a comprehen-sive immigration pol-icy that includes first securing our borders. As they have failed to

do so, it falls to the states to take a more pro-active approach. Massachusetts already prohibits illegal immigrants from receiving most state benefits, but there is more to be done.

During the most recent Mass. legisla-tive session a bill that would have addressed these issues failed to advance by an 82-75 margin. As your next representative I’ll work to convince my colleagues to support this measure and get it passed.

My opponent has come down with a case of election year fever and jumped aboard the anti-immigration bandwagon with fervor. While I applaud him for finally taking some initiative, I think it’s fair to ask why he hasn’t done anything in the prior seven-and-half years he’s been in office. I won’t wait that long to act.

What we should not be doing is taking extreme measures such as repealing the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, as some have advocated. We need a tough, but fair immigration law based on sound public policy, not based on anger or fear.

Finally, in our rush to take a hard-line on immigration, we must also work to re-form our immigration policies for those

who do play by the rules and come to this country legally. Our country benefits from the diversity they bring. We remain a nation of immigrants and that should not be lost in the debate. My own great-grandfather emi-grated from Greece and changed his name from Canteles to Cutler in the process. So please vote Canteles!

Part 2: As the only candidate in this race who’s actually created jobs and launched a small business, I know first-hand what the state needs to do to move our economy for-ward. We’ve got to put the focus back on small businesses.

For too long our economic policies have catered to big corporations while Main Street suffers. Major tax breaks were hand-ed out to bio-tech, mutual fund and defense contractors, while small businesses were getting walloped with higher unemploy-ment rates and health care premiums.

Small businesses are the backbone of our economy. They are also the ones that support our community, sponsor our little league teams and donate to local charities. We must do more to support them.

As your next state representative I’ll work to:

1) Rein in health costs by allowing small businesses more flexibility to bargain for rates.

2) Streamline state regulations and freeze unemployment insurance rates.

3) Invest state funds in community banks that provide credit for small business and start-ups

4) Make it easier to solve legal issues in small claims court or through mediation.

5) Promote tourism, “buy-local” pro-grams and our growing aquaculture indus-try.

6) Reduce the sales tax back to 5.0 per-cent.

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

By Josh CuTler

During my first term as a state representative, House Demo-crats attempted to ram through

legislation that would grant undocumented aliens the same in-state tuition rates as United States citizens. This proposal was a brazen attempt to allow those who have

entered our country illegally to pay the same tuition fees as the children of legal, taxpaying residents. As your state repre-sentative, I am proud to have stopped such an irresponsible piece of legislation from

moving forward. In-state tuition should be available only for legal Massachusetts citizens.

Additionally, we need to eliminate in-centives that attract illegal immigrants to both our state and country. As a sponsor of the comprehensive “Perry Amendment,” I support the implementation of a national background check for any individual ap-plying for state benefits, including hous-ing vouchers, unemployment benefits, and state-subsidized healthcare. I have also filed my own legislation that will severely fine or incarcerate employers who knowingly hire illegal immigrants. This legislation has been co-sponsored by both Democrats and Republicans. Unless these employ-ers are subjected to serious financial and legal penalties, honest working people and small business owners will continue to be at a disadvantage in the market. I am not opposed to legal immigration. We must, however, enact laws that will ensure that immigrants coming to Massachusetts do it the right way.

Part 2: There is no question that high-er taxes, job creation and the economy are the real issues concerning voters this elec-

tion season. The best way to create a job is to encourage an entrepreneur; enterpris-ing business-owners will put people back to work. The government’s function in this process is to foster an environment suitable for job growth. Instead of providing one-time handouts to businesses, government should get out of the way by easing the regulatory burdens it has placed on small business owners and by encouraging a reli-able and fair tax policy for all employers.

The Legislature changes corporate tax policy far too often. The first step we can take toward nurturing a healthy business environment is to repeal the graduated cor-porate tax rate and enact a flat 5 percent corporate tax. At the very least, we should also repeal the 25 percent sales tax hike; this outrageous increase pushes businesses and consumers alike out of Massachusetts in search of more affordable business alter-natives elsewhere.

As a representative who is always mindful of small business, I voted against the Massachusetts healthcare overhaul in 2006, which laid the groundwork for the federal program. This plan has become overwhelmingly costly and small busi-nesses are now partly footing the bill for government health insurance. This drain on small business tally sheets hinders their ability to hire more workers.

I am the only candidate in this race endorsed by the National Federation of Independent Businesses, a small business advocacy association. I have been working on behalf of small businesses from the be-ginning. More jobs mean more money for Local Aid and education. Higher taxes and intrusive government regulations mean fewer jobs and fewer opportunities for our children in Massachusetts.

Mr. Webster is the Republican nomi-nee and incumbent for the 6th Plymouth District

By Daniel WeBsTer

With very little being done by the federal government to crack down on illegal im-

migration we must act in the best interest of the taxpayers of our state and face the

problems created by illegal immigration.

In Massachu-setts, I will support legislation and polic-es that require state agencies to verify the legal status of appli-cants before provid-ing state benefits. I

do not support providing public assistance to illegal immigrants. By supporting illegal immigrants on the taxpayer’s dime we are sending the wrong message to the people who became citizens the right way.

Over the course of the last four years besides raising your taxes and cutting lo-cal aid to our cities and towns the current administration has stopped at nothing to provide benefits to illegal immigrants. It’s time we pass meaningful reform that ad-dresses the problem of taxpayer dollars be-ing used to harbor illegal immigrants.

As state representative, I will fight to have the executive order that Deval Patrick rescinded to allow the state police to work with federal agencies to enforce immigra-tion laws.

Part 2: We need to make Massachu-setts a more competitive business environ-ment which means we need to look at how

we conduct business in general. We need to streamline our cumbersome licensing and permitting process and provide tax incen-tives for our businesses.

Currently 100 state agencies issue over 1,000 permits. It is nearly impossible to sustain any real growth, even in good eco-nomic times. Massachusetts lawmakers have effectively pushed the business lead-ers to take their business and move to more welcoming states.

We currently have varying tax rates for different types of business entities de-pending on size and classification. We need to simplify! I suggest we adopt a single 5 percent tax rate applied to all businesses—across the board.

The truth of the matter is we have not been competitive for quite some time. Proj-ect Labor Agreements and the Anti-Privati-zation Statue have only allowed 20 percent of the workforce to bid on jobs for the state. Open bidding would allow the other 80 per-cent to be in the mix. This would allow for greater cost savings as well as the creation of many new jobs in the private sector.

We must act now to shake up the status quo on Beacon Hill or we face more of the same. Unemployment is at a 35 year high with over 300,000 people out of work. The current administration was handed a 4.6 percent unemployment rate four years ago and we have since seen that double. We cannot continue with business as usual.

A review of the public record shows that Mr. Cutler missed

more than a dozen of the meet-ings he was elected to attend as a Hull Selectman. In fact, his voting record was a dismal 82 percent. Cutler was absent as early as his second meeting and missed a whopping 17 votes in that one session alone! I find it hard to believe that he feels he is entitled to be a state repre-sentative. Representative Dan-iel Webster, on the other hand, has a 100 percent attendance

record and a 99 percent voting record according to the House Clerk. Webster cast 2,882 votes out of a possible 2,925 during formal sessions.

Mr. Cutler has short-changed the voters in Duxbury, too. Cutler consistently misses Duxbury Planning Board meet-ings and has thus failed to fulfill his obligation to public service. In addition, his nega-tive campaign tactics are un-welcome and unpersuasive. On Nov. 2, I will cast my vote for Dan Webster, who has proven

to be a dependable, dedicated, and principled public servant.

[Editor’s note: Our staff reviewed the minutes from the Hull selectmen’s meetings as part of our normal fact-check-ing process. Mr. King’s math is correct in terms of total votes/missed votes, however he is counting several times when Mr. Cutler abstained from a vote because he was a direct abutter as a “missed” vote.]

Would Josh Cutler bother to show up?

I had the pleasure of serv-ing with Josh Cutler as a Selectman in the Town

of Hull for three years. It was an eventful time

in our town. During our ten-ure we erected one of the first municipal-run wind turbines in the state, saving taxpayers on energy costs. We also financed a major school renovation project without the need for a property-tax override or debt exclusion, and passed three balanced, fiscally responsible town budgets.

While we usually saw eye to eye, Josh wasn’t afraid to speak up and stand his ground when he disagreed. He was

particularly passionate about open government and making sure that the public’s business was conducted in public.

I can say that Josh was one of the most engaged, thoughtful and active public servants that I ever worked with and I have known many over my 30 plus years of civic participation.

Josh Cutler will be an ex-cellent state representative. He has a wealth of experience in the public and private sectors coupled with a solid academic background and, most impor-tantly, he is an honest man of integrity.

Timothy MacKenzie, Esq.Former chairman, Hull

The Clipper’s printed letters to the editor policy states that no political letters will be run in the two weeks before the elec-tion. Mr. King’s letter was received before the deadline but was held out of last week’s paper. We were not originally going to run Mr. MacKenzie’s letter, also received before the deadline, as he is not a resident of town, but now that the subject of Mr. Cutler’s service in Hull has been broached, we thought it only fair to run both letters. -Ed.

FROM THE ARCHIVES

The Duxbury Clipper was on hand in October of 1992 when first lady Barbara Bush visited

South Shore Hospital. Mrs. Bush was there as part of a na-

tion-wide campaign to honor volunteers, and in particular honored South Shore’s oldest and youngest volunteers. The Friends of South Shore Hospital, a 700-member auxiliary, named Mrs. Bush a “Friend for Life” and presented her with this volunteer jacket.

Golf contract move is the

right callThe selectmen had a tough decision to make on

Monday night, but in the end they did what was best for the town in declaring Johnson Golf, Inc. in

violation of their management contract to run the town-owned North Hill Golf Course.

It wasn’t an easy decision, nor should it have been. Despite company owner Doug Johnson’s tumultuous relationship with the town, by all accounts he maintains the golf course well –– part of the reason Johnson’s lawsuit remained in stalemate for so many months, in that it was mutually beneficial to both parties. The issues at the heart

of the lawsuit are complex, including legitimate concerns about Calm Golf’s qualifications and nebulous arguments about who can raise what fees and when that won’t be resolved in a hour-long discussion at a selectmen’s meeting.

But at the end of the day, the lack of a bond leaves the town vulnerable, and the selectmen acted to protect the town. While there are still some legal issues that have to work themselves out here, and we doubt we’ve heard the last from Johnson’s side, the issue of the bond is paramount. It’s like renting an apartment to a group of college kids and not asking for a security deposit. It’s not smart business.

The larger issue of whether or not the bidding process that saw Johnson booted from North Hill in 2008 was fair is for a court to decide, not the Board of Selectmen. But the board does have an obligation to look out for the town’s best interest. When things get boiled down to their essence, that’s the job of a selectman –– protect that town and its taxpayers.

Hopefully this will allow the town to move on, and either Johnson Golf will fulfill their obligations under the contract or North Hill will get a new management team. At the end of the day, the course is a valuable town asset and members deserve to know it’s going to be there and run well for the foreseeable future.

Breaking down the new school

argumentsBy Colleen Brayer

Let the discussion begin. To discuss means “to consider or examine by argument, comment, debate.” School Building Committee chairwoman

Elizabeth Lewis stated at the Selectmen’s meeting that, “the committee will do everything it can to sell the project to townspeople.” To “sell” the idea meaning “to promote or effect the sale, acceptance, or approval of.” There is no need to “sell” people what they need. How about the committees educate the public instead; just offer the facts, and let people make an educated and informed decision? Let us make sure we are all fully informed before we vote on anything, so we do not have buyer’s remorse or any regrets. That being said, here are my two cents:

What is the purpose of the school building construction? The purpose of this construction is to give our teachers, students and administrators a healthy, safe environment, that is conducive to teaching, learning and administering. I find it ironic that the School Committee does not even have a Strategic Plan in place as they race down the path to a new school. At the June 30, 2010 School Committee meeting, School Committee member Ms. Buell talked about expressing “what the new building is going to accomplish.” I believe that is an important point. We keep hearing how the architects and the Massachusetts School Building Authority (MSBA) are able, and willing, to move forward, yet there have been no discussions on what these new buildings will accomplish. Before we even consider spending the next dime (or $300,000 - $700,000) we ought to know: 1. What is the school’s strategic plan; 2. What the new school buildings are going to accomplish; 3. What sort of funding will be required to maintain and operate these buildings and; 4. How much money will be available for the operating budget.

The buildings are past their useful life at 50 years old. The point against this statement was well made by another letter to the Clipper and confirmed with a walk around campus. “Useful” means, “capable of being used to advantage, serviceable.” The school buildings have issues, but with some work, the architects should be able to plan minor modifications to achieve the educational goals, as well as the replacement of equipment to make these buildings useful again.

What is best for Duxbury? It has been said, “The MSBA thinks Duxbury can get the project done.” The architects are on board for the co-located DMS/DHS. And why not? What firm doesn’t want a million dollar contract, or to design the model plans for the state – on our dime? Let us stop and reflect on what Duxbury needs and can afford. There is a declining school age population – how much space are we designing for and how long will we need it? Will these new buildings increase our property values, or just our property taxes? New buildings do not produce good schooling: good teachers and curriculum do (think Harvard, Yale, Princeton, etc.).

Remember how the buildings got this way. With limited budgets, the School Committee decided to defer building maintenance to spend money on programs and teachers. Teachers are the critical investment in the education of our children. A less expensive remodel could save money for the operating budget. Teachers account for 90 percent of the operating budget; more money in the annual budget can mean more and better teachers and fewer students per class. Let us not spend all of our money on new buildings, and leave none for teachers and maintenance.

What are we really talking about? Let us make sure we have all the information. In a co-located building, there will be a loss of facilities. The MSBA does not allow for middle school auditoriums and there is less gymnasium space per school. As a highly athletic and musical/performing town I believe we would miss the performing and athletic spaces. The architect’s proposal includes keeping the high school gym as a field house to overcome this deficit. We need to make sure we know what the finished product we are going to receive looks like and what all of the associated costs are going to be.

[Read the rest of Ms. Brayer’s commentary in next week’s Clipper. -ED.]

To listen to some folks in town, our schools are in deplorable

shape, and for the sake of our children, we need to build two new schools. I agree we need to do something with our schools but I disagree that our children’s education is at risk if we don’t build in the near future. I pose this question to those folks who are promoting that notion: Would the qual-ity of education currently be-ing delivered be better due to new digs? I suggest it would be the same because our teachers don’t rely on material things to deliver a superior product; they use their intellect and their ac-quired teaching skills. In fact, I congratulate the town for their efforts in assembling the edu-cational teams that have served the community so well. Con-versely, there is no denying that new facilities and new educa-tional equipment would make their job easier. If the economy

was in a different place, and the tax rate wouldn’t be so ad-versely affected, I would be at the head of the line pushing the “yes” button.

There is also an opinion that this is the right time to construct new schools because of the monies the town would recoup via financial aid from federal and state agencies. In fact it’s being promoted that the outlay would be reduced by more than forty percent. It is also being put forward that it’s a prime time to get contrac-tors to commit because of their need of work. Just that line of reasoning should send up the proverbial red flag! Why do you think they are not work-ing? No one that has an eye on the future is spending uncol-lected monies because of the economy! While I’m not sug-gesting that the “new build-ings” people don’t have good intentions, what I am suggest-ing is that their judgment is be-

ing influenced by an imagined crises conjured up by consul-tants and promoted by the good intentions emanating from the School Committee.

As far as the fifty year life span of the schools goes, I chal-lenge anyone to provide evi-dence that the buildings are not structurally sound. Granted the current buildings don’t have modern façades, nor do the in-teriors speak to today’s ideas of what a school should look like. As I think about it; are these the reasons these folks want new schools, just to keep up with our neighboring towns? If that is the case, I encourage them to go for it while footing the bill. Also the argument that refurbishing would be more expensive than building new sounds more like hype than it does fact.

We are anonymous (letter writers)By Tony ChamBerlain, Clipper omBudsman

[email protected]

Just 198-years ago this fall, James Cal-lender rocked the Jefferson administra-tion by printing in a Richmond Virginia

newspaper the allegation that the president had “for many years kept, as a concubine, one of his own slaves.” Of course this was the birth of the Sally Hemings story which has been pushing hot-buttons in this country ever since.

Callender was motivated by anger at Jeffer-son’s having turned him down for a federal job after he had helped the President-to-be wage a war of words against sitting President John Adams in the run up to the election of 1800. In fact, Jefferson had paid Callender to write nasty things about Adams, perhaps the nastiest being that our second president was “mentally deranged.”

In those dangerous days, with the nation on edge about the French Revolution possibly be-ing imported to America, signing one’s name to a printed opinion apparently did matter, for Cal-lender was thrown in jail for nine months under a provision in Adams’ Alien and Sedition Acts.

In the wild post-Revolution days of early newspapering, letters to the editor could influ-ence politics and even the life and death of poli-ticians.

Consider a letter written in 1804 by Dr. Charles D. Cooper in the Albany Register that reported a dinner party remark he overheard Alexander Hamilton make about Aaron Burr: “Mr. Burr is a dangerous man,” Cooper quoted in his letter, “and one who ought not to be trust-ed with the reigns of government.”

Burr demanded an apology and Hamilton refused. We all know the rest of this story: In July of that year, the Vice President of the Unit-ed States shot and killed the Treasury Secretary in a pistol duel in Weehawken, New Jersey.

If screaming rancor has now become the staple of the 24-hour cable news cycle, letters to newspapers still offer readers a unique and quite important voice. An individual actually has the opportunity to rise out of the faceless mass of readers and place his printed words on the same newsprint that the professionals use, cast his opinion on the same page as the Thomas Friedmans and Ellen Goodmans of the journalism world.

Though letters usually publish the writers’ names, in the eyes of some editors, it may be time to start, at least experimentally, a forum al-lowing anonymous letter-writing. This subject has become a football lately among members of the International Society of Weekly Newspaper Editors (ISWNE). When the subject of how to get more readers involved in the opinion-shar-

ing process, the matter of anonymity has been raised as a possibility.

One paper is forging ahead in this experi-ment. The Freeman Courier in Freeman South Dakota, will try the anonymous letter route through the year, and then review the results before deciding to continue.

According to Tim and Jeremy Waltner who run that weekly and confess to a need for more written opinions from readers, “We speculate that, when it comes right down to it, the ma-jority of our would-be letter writers don’t take the plunge because they would rather keep their opinions to themselves – or share it with their friends over coffee – than share it in a very pub-lic way.”

The Waltners’ idea was discussed in an ISWNE forum last June in Kentucky, and caused Clipper Editor Justin Graeber at least to stop and think the matter over.

“If people could withhold their names from the paper,” Graeber says, “it would certainly make expressing critical opinions easier. It would bring thoughts and opinions that already exist in people’s heads and living rooms out into the public forum.”

Graeber says that he is not considering any imminent change in Clipper policy, but ques-tions the notion that letter writing tradition has always been predicated on the writer’s printed identity.

“Anonymous letter writing actually has a pretty deep tradition,” he says. “Pen names on letters to the editor were used as far back as some of the earliest newspapers. Anonymity makes it easier for people to express opinions, particularly on politically sensitive topics. And sometimes people worried about themselves or their families experiencing blowback from a critical letter are being overly paranoid. But it’s naïve to imagine there aren’t some consequenc-es to openly expressing one’s opinion.

“People are particularly reluctant to be criti-cal of government, school and public safety offi-cials – and sometimes these are the very groups that would benefit from the check-and-balance of critical opinion from the public.”

Graeber said that, in such a format, letters would still fall under the same guidelines con-cerning defamation, libel, and personal attacks. And, of course, the editor would know of the writer’s identity. He adds:

“Luckily Clipper readership has a strong tradition of letter writing and printing names has never detracted Duxbury residents from speaking truth to power. So I don’t see the Clip-per withholding names anytime soon.”

But, says Graeber, in some papers where the letters pages have become moribund, the anonymous letter “may revive spirited discus-sion among newspaper readers.”

interests of the town and resi-dents; that the company has not submitted a 2009 audit of the business; that Johnson Golf increased membership fees a year earlier than the contract allowed and that Johnson Golf submitted handwritten finan-cial information that did not meet acceptable accounting practices.

They briefly discussed other violations, including the alleged facts that Johnson Golf failed to pay rent and other payments on time, that Johnson illegally operated an alcohol cart on the course in past years and that the man-ager established a holiday fee schedule without the town’s permission.

Selectmen Chairman Shawn Dahlen said Johnson Golf’s inability to get a surety bond was the most serious vi-olation, because owner Doug Johnson is under court order to operate North Hill under the terms of his previous contract, which specified a surety bond must be in place. The bond is the town’s insurance if Johnson defaults on the agreement or declares bankruptcy; it covers the town financially so it can keep the golf course running. Johnson has said he is unable to obtain a bond because of his lawsuit against the town.

Johnson, who has man-aged the course for the past 15 years, sued the town in 2008 after losing the manage-ment contract to Calm Golf of Rockland. The lawsuit claims that Calm Golf is financially unqualified and that the town conspired against him. John-son was successful in seeking an injunction against the town in Middlesex County court, which has allowed him to re-main in control of North Hill under the terms of his last con-tract, which ended in Decem-ber 2008.

“It is essential for the town to have a surety bond,” said Dahlen. “It was part of the original contract, it was part of the court order to continue operating under all terms and conditions of the contract and it’s clear that the surety bond isn’t in place. I find that to be the most substantial issue.”

Selectman Betsy Sulli-van called the lack of a bond “deeply troubling.”

“I am deeply concerned about the surety bond,” Sul-livan said. “It is the job of this board to do one thing and that is to protect the financial welfare of this town and the

people in this town. By having this contract or lack of a con-tract go forth without a surety bond, we are leaving everyone who uses North Hill at risk, because we have not got the money to fill the hole if there is a problem, and in this type of a relationship, the fact that there would be a problem is more likely than not.”

Donato disagreed with Dahlen and Sullivan, saying he felt the issue of a bond would be resolved soon by the court, and he wanted the town to wait until the end of Novem-ber to see if Johnson obtains a bond before taking action to terminate the contract. He sug-gested that any membership fees for 2011 be collected and placed into an escrow account to protect them.

“All payments are current, and from talking to people who play at the course, the course is in good shape,” said Donato. “We have someone we may not always agree with, but we have someone we know can manage the course. I’d prefer to let the court handle it.”

Johnson was ordered by the Middlesex Superior Court to produce a $500,000 secu-rity bond because he could not get the surety bond required by the contract. Johnson’s at-torney Steve Follansbee told selectmen Monday that John-son felt that amount ordered by the court was too high, and that he petitioned the court last week to lower the amount to $175,000.

Dahlen and Sullivan said that it would be “irrespon-sible” of selectmen to ignore the lack of the bond, and they did not believe that the court would act anytime soon.

“We’ve also been waiting for the court to move on this for two years,” said Sullivan. “It’s very hopeful to think they are suddenly going to be re-sponsive to this.”

“The fact that there is no surety bond has put the town at risk since the day the last one expired and I cannot in good conscience allow that to con-tinue,” she added. “We need to move ahead. I think we need to send a message that we are done with this now. And this is beyond any acceptable re-lationship we have with the vendor.”

Dahlen said he was also troubled by the fact that in the past eleven months Johnson had not submitted an indepen-dent audit of his business for 2009.

Recreation Director Gor-

don Cushing said Johnson had never submitted an audit to the town, although Follansbee said audits from 2006 through 2008 were attached to John-son’s bid for the last contract. Dahlen told Follansbee that these documents had never been given to the Board of Se-lectmen.

Sullivan vocalized her dis-gust at the financial informa-tion Johnson had submitted to the town.

“I can’t even come up with a word for the financial reporting,” she said. “It’s not up to any accounting standard I have seen. It’s scratched out. It’s written in pen. There’s no detail. It should never have been accepted by the town.”

Regarding the other con-tract violations, Sullivan pointed out that records show that there were times Johnson had not paid the rent on time because he made double pay-ments. Dahlen said Johnson also violated the agreement by increasing membership rates in 2009, when the contract allows a rate increase every three years with the last one occurring in 2007.

Town Counsel Robert Troy filed a motion last Friday to dissolve the court’s injunc-tion that allows Johnson to run North Hill. The planned date of this hearing is Nov. 3 in Middlesex Superior Court.

Troy said that since John-son did not post a bond as ordered by the court, he is no longer entitled to the injunc-tion.

According to Troy, if the town prevails in the lawsuit and Johnson leaves North Hill, the town must follow through with its award of the contract to Calm Golf of Rockland. If Calm Golf cannot accept the contract, the town will put the management agreement out to bid again. Another option is for the town to run North Hill on its own, but Troy said the town must ask Town Meeting for the operating funds to do so.

Beyond the music lessonBy su d’amBrosio, speCial To The Clipper

At South Shore Conservatory, we are always striving to make our student’s experience an exceptional one. With this in mind, last spring we conducted

a survey of private lesson students and families, to gather information about their experience with us. We were interested in assessing where we were doing well and where we needed to improve. We were very happy to find out that most who responded rated their experience as “very good” or “excellent.”

Our next task was to try to figure out what makes the difference between a “very good” experience and an “excellent” one. What we discovered was that one of the biggest factors was whether or not the students were participating in any music activities, with us or elsewhere, beyond their lesson. Over 90 percent of the students who described their experience as excellent were coming to workshops and recitals, taking theory classes, joining chamber music or other ensembles and participating in a variety of activities at their school or church.

This comes as no surprise for many reasons. Learning to play an instrument or sing can be one of the most complex things that we ask young people to do. Therefore, the more time you spend with your instrument each week the better you get, the better you sound and the more fun you have! In addition, while a private lesson is more of a solitary experience, participating in chamber music, large ensembles such as Bay Youth Symphony (BaYS), Pure Treble Children’s Chorus or school music programs provide young musicians a shared musical experience and helps foster friendships. My daughter Maria, when asked what she liked most about BaYS said, “BaYS is a really fun experience that not only taps into my musical potential but lets me build strong friendships through my music.”

Su D’Ambrosio is the Conservatory’s Director of Programs and Curriculum. Known as “Miss Su” by SSC’s preschool, Pre-K and kindergarten students, she is the classroom music specialist and teaches Drum and Sing. She lives in Plymouth with her husband, Bob, and her two daughters, Maria and Rosa.

I can’t fool anybody anymore. The last time a wee one thought I might be someone

I’m not, he thought I was Santa Claus. Even my fabulous Gene Autry cowboy shirt just makes me look like Gabby Hayes. To top it all off, no little ghosts or goblins come to my door any more. The neighborhood kids all seem too old for such

shenanigans. This year, even the moon is ready to cooperate with the fizzle – the last-quarter moon won’t rise until after midnight, far too late to silver trick-or-treaters wending up

to my door.I loved Halloween when I could

be what I wanted to be and collect a pillowcase full of candy all on the same night. Once I grew out of the clown costumes my mother saved from year to year, the night was mine. I became Jean Lafitte, the pirate that saved New Orleans from the British, or Zorro, complete with black cape, or the Lone Ranger fully armed with a Mattel Fanner Fifty, the

Things sure looked bleak for Coach Emerson Coleman and his Lady Dragon soccer team last Thursday afternoon when they took on Silver Lake in a key Patriot League con-test.

Down 2-0 in the first 12 minutes, Duxbury rallied on a goal by Melissa Gavin and two second-half goals by Lily Peterson to earn a 3-2 come-from-behind win over the Lakers, putting their record at 11-2 as they get ready for Wednesday afternoon’s re-match with nationally-ranked Whitman-Hanson at 4 p.m.

The Lady Dragons gave Whitman-Hanson its tough-

est game of the season in a 1-0 losing effect in the first week of action, and they hope to engage in some payback by knocking off the Panthers from the undefeated ranks.

The win over the Lakers gives Duxbury plenty of con-fidence as it goes into Wednes-

day’s contest.Goalkeeper Emily Brook

couldn’t be faulted for Thurs-day’s start, as Silver Lake’s Haley Stark unloaded a rocket at the 9:17 mark that scraped the bottom of the cross bar and landed in the back of the net for a 1-0 Laker lead.

But when Paige Rodomski headed in a corner kick just two and a half minutes later for a two-goal margin, Dux-bury decided it was time to get its act together.

Who else but Gavin would get the Lady Dragons back in the game, countering with a goal just over a minute later to make it 2-1 the remainder of the half.

Duxbury continued to trail midway through the second half until Gavin worked her magic again, beating a pair of Laker defenders and sending a pass from right wing to center

where Peterson found herself all alone to tie the score at 2-2, beating Laker netminder Tay-lor Griffa at the 22:58 mark.

The Lady Dragons con-tinued to pressure the Lakers and their persistence paid off, as Gavin was in the middle of the action once again, coming out of the left corner and fir-ing toward the keeper, only to have Peterson deflect the shot high into the net for the even-tual game-winner.

“We didn’t come out flat,” said Coleman. “We played a stretch of games where it has just about been every other day for about two weeks. Our schedule was very back-load-ed and in high school sports it’s all about mental discipline, so maybe we didn’t come into this game with our “A” game. I told the kids at halftime it was

sweetest shooting cap gun I ever owned.Times were different then. I played Davy Crockett

wielding a real BB gun. Without its BB-loaded magazine, it sounded like a pop-gun, suitable for suburban foraging. I never owned Mattel’s Tommy Burst submachine gun (you can see a 1950s TV ad for it on Youtube). My Tommy gun – the gangster/G-man/commando automatic weapon of choice – was more realistic, even if it was plastic. It sported the full-sized circular magazine, and broke down for easy transport. In a father-son teaching moment known only to the 1950s my dad suggested I use short bursts to keep my aim sharp. I became a very convincing (if short) commando that Halloween.

My last official Halloween raid was in 1961, in a group of bongo-wielding beatniks. We all wore black berets, black pants, black everything. The girls added black stockings. Everything changed after that.

By the time my children were robbing hapless homeowners Halloween had become a public health issue. Trick-or-treating was unsafe without parental supervision, and racing gangs of eight-year-olds had become quiet little groups accompanied by parents and older siblings. Duxbury teachers and school administrators, seeing their chance for macabre revenge, turned Alden Schools into a haunted house but replaced Halloween’s adventure and myth with grotesque images of actual torture – but maybe that was just a bad year, and the wailing children they trapped have since regained speech. It was a long time ago, and the next year they also offered a sunshiny alternative for younger children unready to see their principal’s severed head on a platter.

Somehow, Halloween had lost much of its magic and adventure, with ghoulish but possible characters replacing the impossible (if scary) nightmares of my youth, and it’s only gotten worse. Zombies have become freakishly similar to real human rage and horror. The old ones could be defeated by a door – they can’t figure out doorknobs – and they’re just plain slow. The new lot have super-speed and crawl on ceilings. Vampires were once relegated to the night, grown men who anyone might carefully avoid. The new crowd just sparkle in the sunshine, don’t give a hoot about protective crosses and garlic, and go to high school. Not funny, with their century-old lusts hiding in teen bodies.

Give me the old Halloween. I know kids can’t forage alone in safety anymore, and Mattel guns from the 1950s would get them arrested or worse, but I could use a Zorro or two this year, or Davy Crockett and Dan’l Boone, or Annie Oakley. I might even welcome an old-school zombie or a mummy. My best friend was a mummy when I was Zorro. Just don’t be anything real. There’s enough of that on the front pages of the newspapers. Meanwhile, I’ll stick to my Gene Autry cowboy shirt, jeans, and boots. According to my family, I’ll be scary enough.

Dragons’ DenSports Editor Mike Halloran • [email protected]


By the time you read this story, the DHS field hockey team could be riding a 14-game winning streak or recovering from its first loss of the season.

On Monday afternoon the Lady Dragons took on Hop-kinton, a team that has caused Duxbury much pain over the last two seasons and is a pe-rennial field hockey power in Massachusetts.

But despite the fear of getting a mark on its unblem-ished record, it looks like Pam Manley’s team was ready for Hopkinton after a 5-0 shutout win over Scituate and a 4-1 non-league victory over Notre Dame of Hingham last week.

Having already qualified for the State tournament, the Lady Dragons have yet to wrap up the Patriot League title with their 8-0 league record that is just one game ahead of Ha-nover that stands at 6-1.

Two games with the Indi-ans in the next six days could well determine who walks away with the crown.

Goals by Emmy Horton at the 12:15 mark on an assist by league scoring leader Grace Nissi and Molly Zaverucha’s score with 1:05 left in the first half gave Duxbury a 2-0 half-time lead in the win over the Sailors.

Duxbury continued to at-tack Scituate goalie Michaela Doughty in the second half, as Horton picked up the rebound of a blocked corner and beat Doughty at the 19:47 mark for an insurmountable 3-0 lead.

After assisting on Horton’s second goal, Hannah Murphy scored one of her own, knock-ing home a rebound out of

a scramble from a corner to make it 4-0 with 8:38 left in the game.

Murphy would score again with 36 seconds left to com-plete the shutout.

Duxbury entertained Notre Dame on Friday afternoon and continued their offensive dom-inance, as Murphy, Zaverucha, Emilie Munson (2 assists), and Briana Connolly took care of the scoring.

Connolly got the Lady Dragons on the board first with a penalty stroke with 11 min-utes left in the first half.

“She has been working on that shot all season and handled

the pressure with confidence,” said Manley.

Duxbury dominated the second half, as Murphy and Siobhan McCarthy stepped up their play when the game be-came physical and denied ND any chance of a comeback with the help of goalkeeper Sophie Fitzpatrick who turned aside 10 shots.

By week’s end, the Lady Dragons sported the league’s top two scorers in Nissi (20 goals/11 assists) and Murphy (17/7).


The way things are going, it appears that only an act of God can derail the Duxbury Dragons from going through the regular season schedule unscathed.

The Almighty tried one of his tactics on Friday after-noon in Whitman, whipping up winds with gusts up to 40 mph in hopes of killing off the Dragons’ passing attack and putting Duxbury’s winning streak in jeopardy. Few times

does he fail, and this was one of them.

Using the running of ju-nior Henry Buonagurio (2 TDs), the passing of junior Matt O’Keefe (one TD pass), and the larceny of senior de-fensive back Adam Martin (26 yard interception return for TD), the Dragons showed they can win in a variety of ways in their 28-0 shutout over Whit-man-Hanson.

It was the most important win of the season for Duxbury, as it was the Dragons’ first Pa-

triot League win in the Keenan Division, which they must win in order to get into postseason play.

Duxbury took the open-ing kick-off and started with great field position at its own 43-yard line. It took only five plays for the Dragons to go 57 yards, the two biggest being an end around to Don Webber for 27 yards and an 18-yard keep-er by O’Keefe. It all ended when Buonagurio went off left tackle and into the end zone. Tucker Hannon’s PAT made it 7-0 less than three minutes into the game.

On Whitman-Hanson’s first series, sophomore Mar-shall McCarthy made a great

third-down tackle that forced a Panther punt to the Duxbury 44.

A 13-yard keeper by O’Keefe and a five-yard jaunt by Buonagurio quickly had the ball down to the W-H 36 where O’Keefe hit Webber for 15 yards on a perfectly executed slant. Two plays later O’Keefe dropped back and lofted a pass deep into the corner of the end zone, connecting with Webber, who blew past his defender and picked the ball out of the air for Duxbury’s second score

of the game.The Duxbury defense was

immense, stopping every Pan-ther drive, including their sec-ond that advanced all the way down to the Duxbury eight-yard line with five minutes left in the half.

The Duxbury offense would get two more opportu-nities before the half ended, but both times the drives sput-tered when the wind affected O’Keefe’s effectiveness.

A big sack by senior Nick Mann killed Whitman-Han-son’s opening drive of the sec-ond half, forcing a punt to the Duxbury 49-yard line.

O’Keefe directed an 11-play drive featuring a 15-yard pass to Matt Hallisey, only to have it stall at the 15 on three incomplete passes.

The Panthers would move the ball out to the 40 where they were forced to punt, send-ing the ball down to the Dux-bury 34 as the third quarter ended.

Sent back to the 35 on a penalty after an 11-yard gain by Buonagurio, Duxbury be-gan its march once again. An 11-yard reception by Web-ber and a 12-yard keeper by O’Keefe had the offense back in sync at the W-H 41. O’Keefe then dropped back and spotted a streaking Hallisey running straight up the seam of the de-fense where he found him for 33 yards and a first down.

Two plays later Buonagu-rio was into the end zone from three yards out and Duxbury was in possession of a 21-0 lead.

Desperate to get on the scoreboard, the Panthers went to the air against Dragons, but Martin stepped in front of the receiver on the visiting side-line and picked off the pass, rumbling down the sideline and into the end zone for a 25-

yard TD return. Hannon’s PAT made it 28-0 with 6:34 left in the game and the benches emptied shortly after.

“We started off great, but we had a little lull in the mid-dle of the game,” said coach Dave Maimaron. “Overall they did a nice job preparing for our first league game and I was very happy with the ef-fort. The wind was knocking the ball all over the place, but every time we ran the ball we had success on the ground. We’ve been able to throw the ball all year long, but those are the things you have to get used to once you get into November and December.”

O’Keefe had a big day at the controls for Duxbury, run-ning 13 times for 90 yards and completing 9 of 24 passes for 130 yards on an extremely windy playing field. Webber continued his outstanding sea-son, catching five passes for 67 yards and a TD, while Hal-lisey returned to action with three catches for 52 yards.

On the other side of the ball, Marshall McCarthy led the Dragons with nine tackles and five assisted tackles for a total of 14, while linebacker Max Randall (9/3) and James Burke (7/5) contributed 12 each.

Soccer qualifies for tournamentour “B-plus” game and against a good team like Silver Lake that is fighting for the play-offs, a B-plus game just isn’t good enough. That first half was 60/40 Silver Lake and my assistant said to me, now we’ll see who we are.”

That back-loaded sched-ule included six games in nine days, featuring the first-ever Kick for a Cure Tournament over the Columbus Day week-end to raise money and aware-ness for breast cancer.

Teams from Scituate, Cohasset and Bourne high schools helped the Lady Drag-ons raise almost $700 from the sale of t-shirts, baked goods and pink hair ribbons. Players from each team wore pink shirts in practice donat-ed by Soccer Edge and Keith Caldwell, while pink soccer game balls were donated by We Got Soccer.

Duxbury won the tour-nament with shutout wins over previously undefeated Bourne (2-0) and Scituate (3-0). Goalkeeper Brook had a strong weekend behind a strong defense led by Devan Bahr and Megan Woomer. In the opening game against Bourne, Duxbury goals were scored by Gavin and freshman Emily Weimer off an assist by Emily Gallagher.

In the championship game versus Scituate, Duxbury controlled the game from the opening kickoff, beating the Sailors 3-0 for the second time this season. Duxbury got goals from Gallagher and forward Hannah Dwinnel, along with a late Gavin goal off a long cross from Gallagher. The win over Scituate clinched a

spot in the MIAA tournament for Duxbury.

Duxbury continued its winning ways on Tuesday with a convincing 4-1 home win against a strong Pembroke team that has given Duxbury physical matches over the past several years, and this time it was no different.

Duxbury jumped out to a 2-0 lead before halftime on goals from Gavin and Dwin-nell, while Brook made a spec-tacular save late in the first half off a Pembroke header from

inside the box that preserved the two-goal margin. Gal-lagher, Bahr, Woomer, senior Charlotte Cipoletti and sopho-more Laura Nee had strong defensive games, marking sev-eral dangerous offensive play-ers for Pembroke, while junior Maddie Lawson was stellar in the midfield.

The victory was one of eight in their current winning streak that has them ranked No. 12 in the latest Boston Globe poll.

HEAD GAMES: Duxbury’s Laura Nee battles for a loose ball.

The Duxbury High School boys’ golf team will begin defense of its Division II state title starting Wednes-day morning when it takes to the fairways of the Marshfield Country Club in the Division II South Sectionals.

After having their 14-match win streak broken by Hanover, the Dragons contin-ued their slide with losses to Hingham (244-253) and BC

High (229-235), before right-ing the ship with a pair of wins over Barnstable (233-236) and Sandwich (233-248).

James Magner led a strong Duxbury showing against Barnstable with a round of 37 that included two birdies and four pars, while Jona-than Stoddard (a birdie per 5 pars), Cam Daley (a birdie per 6 pars), and Curtis Owen (a birdie/5 pars) were a stroke behind at 38.

Kevin Kuckuk (39) and Stephan Krall rounded out the Dragon scoring, while Curtis Collopy shot a 37 for the Red Raiders and Dan Cowick’s 36 took medalist honors for Sandwich.

There’s a fatal flaw in the retirement of many small business owners: After pouring a lifetime of sweat, time and capital into building the business, their rough-sketch strat-egy is to sell out someday for a ton of money… then settle back and enjoy a financially secure retirement. Many business owners are so sure this will happen that they don’t

bother to make any other retirement plans.

Who is this person who, at just the right moment, is going to show up with cash in hand to buy the company… and pay a fair price? For thousands of small business owners each year, no one steps forward. Perhaps the business is too specialized or is tied too closely to the owner’s unique personality and skills. Or per-haps possible buyers equate retirement sale with distress sale and make only low-ball offers. Whatever the reason, many owners find that their company has suddenly become a white elephant that nobody wants.

One Possible Solution: Groom your own replacement, someone who will buy your company when you’re ready to retire. Maybe this person is a current co-owner (but be careful if he or she is about the same age as you, who will be counting on retiring around the same time.) Or it could be a son or daughter active in the business, or a younger key employee.Business Owners Who Successfully Groom Their Own Replacements Leave Noth-ing to Chance: They realize that there is no room for error at the point of retirement. Here are some examples of steps they might take:

temperament, personality, competence and personal goals.

person simply will not work out. During that period, they keep everything informal, strictly verbal. At the same time, even when they go to a formal agreement, they make sure it contains a termination provision.

until the baton is passed. An ambitious successor needs and deserves gradually in-creasing authority and benefits. Options include deferred compensation or the op-portunity to acquire partial ownership prior to their retirement. This provides both parties with something to win by sticking to the agreement… and something to lose if it falls apart.

gets what, and spelling out all details and caveats, including how to establish the final valuation of the business. This formal buy/sell agreement protects everybody.

of the buy/sell agreement, it will be worthless if the money is not there when needed to carry out the plan. Under one option, the successor may be able to purchase the company from ongoing profits. Other options include setting up a sinking fund or allowing the successor to simply borrow the money. These options may work but they leave much to chance. Instead, consider a funding vehicle that protects your family in the event of your disability or premature death, such as life and disability income insurance.*

exactly as planned. What if your business hits tough times or your successor dies, be-

if there simply is no heir apparent waiting in the wings? Sometimes, it’s simply best to dismantle the business.Whether or not you have a possible successor for your company, you should begin mapping out your retirement strategy today. Your insurance professional or your inde-pendent professional advisors can help you develop this kind of business strategy.
