Volunteers working on restoring the former Tarkiln schoolhouse are hoping to have the building open for use as a community center by the fall.

Last year at annual Town Meeting, voters approved a $435,720 renovation plan (a

costlier proposal was defeated at Town Meeting in 2008) for the former two-room school-house. Some of the work has already been done –– the roof has been replaced, and a new septic system has been in-stalled. Tarkiln Committee Chairman Tag Carpenter said the grading has just been fin-


The School Committee hasn’t made a decision yet on whether or not to privatize the school lunch program, but a group of concerned parents want to make sure their con-cerns are heard on nutritional issues.

A panel led by district Business Administrator Susan Nauman gave a presentation at Wednesday’ School Com-mittee meeting, recommend-ing that if lunch functions are privatized, the schools go with Chartwells. The group did not

take a side on whether or not privatization should happen, however.

Chartwells was one of three companies to respond to a request for proposal put out by the school district, along with Woodsons and Aramark.

“I was very pleased with the vendors and their empha-sis on communication,” Nau-man said, noting the compa-nies’ dedication to things like health-based initiatives, farm-ers markets, grants. “They try to make it a community affair

Farmers market gearing up

The Duxbury Farmers and Artisans Market (DUXFARM) Board has been busily prepar-ing for its next season. As a result of a tremendous effort of volunteerism and collabo-ration, the market now has its own website, duxburyfarm-ersmarkt.org where all of the latest information on vendor recruitment, special programs and opening day activities is posted.

Last season, thousands of area residents visited the mar-ket where they took advantage of the opportunity to buy local, to support Duxbury’s farming heritage and to participate in a sense of community.

The end of the season sur-veys and suggestions which many visitors filled out were extremely useful in the board’s planning. The market is sched-uled to run every Wednesday, 12:30-4:30 p.m, June 30 until Oct. 13 at the Tarkiln Commu-nity Center on Route 53.

The Duxbury School Committee has a familiar face in the head chair, but not until some debate about recent divi-sions on the board and the best way to move forward.

The first order of business at last Wednesday’s School Committee was to reorganize the board after the March elec-tions, which saw newcomers Gary Magnuson and Mary Lou Buell elected. Current Vice Chairman John Heinstadt opened the meeting, since sit-ting Chairman George Cipol-letti decided not to seek re-election.

Heinstadt was nominated for the chairman’s seat by Maureen Connolly.

“There’s been a lot of caw and writings in the Clipper about the divisiveness, lack of cohesion and teamwork on the School Committee,” Heinstadt said. “I would like to serve as chairman because I think I can bridge whatever differences there have been in the last year or two ... and lead the mem-bers of the School Committee to work as a team.”

Heinstadt, who served as chairman during his first term, pointed out that the other se-nior member of the board, Anne Ward, has been chairman more recently, so the natural succession would be for him to move from vice chairman to chairman.

“They both served us well, however, last year John filled in quite a bit as chairman last year and I feel he did an ex-cellent job,” said Connolly. “To me, it makes sense that we go from vice chair to chair-man. This is John’s third term. I think his election results last year spoke to the fact that cer-tainly the public thought he was doing an excellent job.”

Heinstadt defeated chal-lenger Glenn Listernick by a wide margin at the polls two years ago.

However, Ward said she would still like to be consid-ered for the chairman’s role, and Connolly’s motion was defeated 2-3.

New School Committee member Gary Magnuson nom-inated Ward for chairwoman, while praising the “three ex-perienced School Committee

members” on the board.“I think Anne has the lead-

ership qualities that we need in the next year,” Magnuson said.

“I think the key for us moving forward is to focus on the work,” said Ward of her own candidacy. “I think the job of the chairman is to not to focus on personal differences but to make the meetings run as smoothly as possible.”

Ward was elected chair-woman in a 4-1 vote, with Connolly voting no. Heinstadt was then unanimously elected vice chairman.

Anne Ward and John Heinstadt switch seats at Wednesday’s School Committee reorganization meeting. Ward was elected chairwoman and Heinstadt was voted vice chairman.

Planning for retirement is a complex undertaking for all of us, but for women, it’s especially challenging.One reason is that women live longer than men, so they have more years of retirement to prepare for. Another is that they spend more of their active years out of the workforce — in many cases, raising children or caring for ag-ing relatives — which gives them less opportu-nity to build up retirement savings and private pensions.

As a result, women wind up more dependent than men on Social Security to pay for retire-ment, and Social Security often isn’t enough.

On average, it pays just 40% of what a wage earner made in her working years. But as a woman, you can improve your prospects for a secure retirement through smart long-term planning:

Start saving on a regular basis. Even $20 a week can add up to a decent nest egg, especially if you start young.

Take retirement into account when choosing a job. Ask potential employers if they offer a retirement plan and/or pension plan. Find out how they work. Look for employers that match at least part of your contribution to a retirement account.

Work as long as you can. The longer you earn income, the more time you have to amass savings. The older you are when you stop working, the fewer years of retirement you’ll need to budget for. Delaying the start of Social Security benefits up to age 70 will result in a larger monthly check, too.

Purchase a life insurance policy. Permanent life insurance pro-vides guaranteed death benefit protection for your loved ones in the event of your death. Additionally, it offers valuable “living” ben-efits and tax advantages.

For example, as a policyholder, you can access accumulated cash value through loans and withdrawals to supplement your retire-ment income. Plus, these funds can also be used for college ex-penses, as collateral for a small business loan, or any other happily anticipated or unexpected event.

Using life insurance is a little-known option that can be a big help for women down the road.

Duxbury police have ap-prehended a man suspected of committing dozens of vehicle thefts Thursday night. They are hoping to return all of the stolen items to residents who may have been victimized.

An Apple Hill Lane resi-dent called Duxbury Police at approximately 5:10 a.m. on Friday to report that someone was breaking into his car, ac-cording to a statement from Duxbury Police Chief Stephen Doherty. Responding Officer Dan McGonagle located a ve-hicle matching the description given by the homeowner and stopped it on Chandler Street. An investigation by Off. McG-onagle, Sgt. Christopher Mori, Off. Christopher Coppage, Off. Dennis Pearse, and Det. Sgt. Dennis Symmonds resulted in

the arrest of Jeffrey Murphy, 20, of Lyndale Road, South Yarmouth, and the recovery of dozens of stolen items.

Over the course of the morning numerous residents reported that items were stolen from their vehicles and several have identified some of the re-covered items as being theirs, police said.

Murphy was brought to court for arraignment on charges of breaking and enter-ing a motor vehicle, larceny, receiving stolen property, be-ing a minor in possession of alcohol, and possession of burglarious tools. Murphy was also issued a citation for pos-session of marijuana. Numer-ous additional charges are ex-pected, according to Doherty.

Anyone who has had any-thing stolen from their ve-hicles recently should contact

Duxbury Police Detectives at 781-934-5656.

Some of the items confiscated from the alleged car thief are shown on the floor of the police station. Anyone who has had anything stolen from their vehicles recently should contact Duxbury Police Detectives at 781-934-5656.

when they come in, and not just a school lunch program.”

The idea of privatizing school lunch was floated ear-lier this year after the program sustained several years of loss-es, dating back to 2007. Last year, the gap was $126,000, and the district made up the difference by reducing the hours of cafeteria staff. This triggered a public backlash when the reduction in hours caused some workers to lose their benefits. The benefits were reinstated on March 1.

Nauman said there were several reasons for the budget problems. One is that the lunch program has seen a reduction in participation, 19 percent over the last two years. The program hasn’t seen a price increase in six years, but Nau-man said that due to the lack of participation a cost hike isn’t a solution.

In 2004, the town stopped sharing the cost of health ben-efits for the cafeteria workers. Nauman said over the years, the benefit costs have explod-ed –– from $86,000 to over a quarter of a million dollars.

“You could see it was just exasperating itself as the years went on,” she said.

Although the ultimate decision is up to the School Committee and the adminis-tration, Nauman did outline some of the pros and cons of contracting school lunch out to a private company. She said a private company has more re-sources to do things like edu-cation and special programs. They also may cover the pro-gram’s losses for a set period of time, and in many instances a new company will keep the current staff. The cons are that existing cafeteria workers may lose their jobs or see a reduc-tion in hours, and that it’s a hard decision to undo once it’s made.

Cafeteria worker Karen

Montero spoke on behalf of her colleagues, and urged the School Committee to keep her and her fellow workers as town employees.

“Tonight we’re here in uni-ty,” Montero said. “We want to ask you, as you’re considering contracting with a food ser-vice company, we’re request-ing that you would keep us as town employees. We under-stand the insurance issues, but there aren’t that many of us left that still have benefits.”

“We feel the problems with the food service debt didn’t arise from us the work-ers,” she added. “We just do our jobs and we take pride in our kitchen.”

Nauman, however, said that other school districts her group examined where the functions were privatized but the workers kept on the town payroll didn’t work financial-ly, and sustained losses in the early going.

A group of concerned par-ents also attended the meeting, and voiced concerns about un-healthy snacks being served at lunch. Parents wanted to know if there would be a community forum for the public to give input, and asked how much oversight the town would have on any potential contract.

“This is a hot, hot topic. People are really concerned about it,” said Heather Ed-wards.

Others talked about diffi-culty with long lines at lunch keeping participation down, and some parents said their research showed Chartwells involved in litigation against other school districts.

Anne Ward asked about the extent to which the current program could make nutri-tional changes and push food education.

“It’s a little more labor in-tensive.” Nauman said. “We don’t have the economies of scale purchasing that they do

either. You could change it up to a certain degree ... to what degree, I don’t know that I could answer that.”

School Committee Vice Chairman John Heinstadt said that he dealt with Chartwells in higher education and had a good experience. He also noted that the company hired back all the school’s work-ers. Heinstadt said the district needs to pay close attention to the contract if they choose to privatize.

“The companies that are in this business ... they all will do a good job, but it’s a func-tion of the contract you nego-tiate with them initially and then managing the contract,” he said. “My experience with Chartwells is that they’ve been very responsible.”

The School Committee did not take any action on the privatization issue Wednesday. Ward said that the topic would be on the agenda at the next meeting, slated for May 5.

NEW FACES: New School Committee members Mary Lou Buell and Gary Magnuson participated in their first meeting last Wednesday night.

Girl Scout Troop 80970 had a great time at their tour of historical Plymouth and of the Jenney Grist Mill. The girls had the opportunity to step back in time and hear the story of Pilgrim John Jenney, his journey to America and how he built the original grist mill. They saw the water wheel turn the grinding stones and learned how corn is ground by the turn of a stone. They also learned how important the Mill was to the survival of the Pilgrim colony.

Dump users might not be aware that the piles of black mulch is there for the tak-ing, just past the mall and the book nook. DPW worker David Elliot said that the ma-chine is rented by the DPW for about two weeks out of the year. A worker in a front loader takes material from a four-year-old pile of leaves and yard waste and puts it into the machine, where larg-er stick, rock and other items are tumbled out, leaving only

rich black mulch.“It’s prime planting ma-

terial,” said Elliot.The mulch is free, but

residents have to shovel it themselves.

The DPW also has anoth-er machine they use to crush large brush into small wood chips. Some of that material is sent to Maine to be used as fuel, but residents can also use these chips in their gardens or landscaping. The DPW owns this machine, and rents it out to other towns.

“It pay for itself,” Elliot said.

The transfer station is open Wednesday through Sunday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

This large spinning barrel separates rocks and other large material out of the mulch.

The finished product is available to residents for free, although they have to shovel it themselves.

Marguerite Young (Boss) Davis “Meg” of Templewood Dr., Duxbury, formerly of Kings-ton, died after a long illness in the company of family at the home of her son Charles Barns “Barney” Davis on April 15. Born in Boston, she was the daughter of Charles Acors Barns and Marguerite Burr (Young) Boss. She was raised in Hingham, attended Derby Academy and graduated from Hingham High School in 1946. She attended the Modern School of Fash-ion and Design and The Chamberlain School of Retailing. She was married to Houston Thomas Davis. The couple moved to Duxbury in 1951. She was a member of the Duxbury Frostbite Society and The Duxbury Yacht Club. She was passionate about historic preservation and was a member of several organizations devoted to that cause, and served on The Duxbury Historic Commission. She enjoyed art and internation-al travel and was an active and long standing

member of the Duxbury Art Association and the Duxbury Rural and Historical Society. She volunteered much of her time and especially enjoyed helping out at the election polls and the Duxbury Senior Center.

Mrs. Davis leaves her children, Marguerite Thomas “Missy” Davis and her husband Randy Smith of Piedmont, Okla., William Thornton “Bill” Davis and his wife Brenda of Seattle, Wash., Charles Barns “Barney” Davis and his wife Maura of Duxbury, and the late Jonathan Burr Davis; her sister, Sylvia (Boss) Lepmanis of Sequim, Wash.; and five grandchildren.

A graveside service will be held at the May-flower Cemetery, Duxbury on Tuesday, April 27 at 3 p.m. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in her memory to The Cranberry Area Hospice, or The Duxbury Rural and Historical Society.

Elsie (Golden) O’Neill died April 7. Born May 4, 1921 to Emma and Frank Golden, she grew up in Adams, Mass.

Mrs. O’Neill was an accomplished athlete and competitive gymnast. She graduated from what is now part of Tufts University, as a physi-cal therapist.

In World War II, Mrs. O’Neill served as an officer in a US Army M.A.S.H. unit from 1943-45. Trained at Fort Bragg, she shipped out of New York Harbor on a stripped down troop ship; previously The Queen Mary. She continued her army training in England. Later, camped in tents on the Salisbury Plains in sight of Stonehenge, she waited for D-Day and The Channel crossing to Normandy. She was in London on R&R the night Paddington Station was bombed. Finally her hospital unit followed the troops to Normandy Beach. It was jammed with wounded soldiers and huddling POWs. Mrs. O’Neill stayed camped at Normandy on a nearby field where she tended to the casualties until moving north to Liege, Belgium. Hiding in foxholes along the way to avoid snipers and strafing aircraft, she arrived days before Hit-ler’s surprise attack, “The Battle of The Bulge.” Hundreds of civilians crowded the streets with their bundles and pushcarts retreating from the Nazis. She remained there during the blitz car-ing for patients under the constant terror of buzz bombs and gunfire. Over 800,000 soldiers were committed and 19,000 Americans lives were lost. Her tent hospital was the only one (out of

10) that survived that horrific battle. Working in a rest camp for wounded personnel from oth-er hospitals, she remained near the front lines until her tour of duty ended.

Mrs. O’Neill met her future husband, Harry Jordan, on the Champs-Elysees, Paris while celebrating victory. Until her retirement, Mrs. O’Neill worked as the Director of P.T. for Otis Hospital in East Cambridge. A single mother, she raised her boys in Brookline, vacationing with them at her cottage on Lake Sunapee, N.H.

An accomplished cook, she always had room for one more at her dinner table. She was actively involved in the Cottage Owners Asso-ciation and was a willing volunteer.

Mrs. O’Neill was the wife of the late Harry Jordan and the late Thomas O’Neill and grand-mother to the late K.C. Jordan. She leaves her sons, Gregg Jordan and his wife Courtney of Duxbury and Jeffrey Jordan and his wife Robin of Newbury, N. H.; her deceased sister, Fran-cis; her stepchildren, Sharon Dugan, Coreen Navoy, and Thomas O’Neill III; a sister-in-law, Marie Golden; three grandchildren, four great-grandchildren, and many nieces, nephews and close friends. She also leaves her friend and partner, Daniel Bosworth whom she lived with in Concord N.H. until her death.

A memorial service will be held Saturday, May 1 at 11 a.m. at St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church, 52 Gould Rd., New London, N.H. No flowers please.

Marie G. (Guiney) Owens, former resident of Ashland, died in Plymouth April l2 at the age of 83. She was the wife of the late Richard Owens. She leaves her children, Donna McCluskey of Charlestown, Hugh Owens and his wife Virginia of South Caro-lina, Jane Kelly and her husband Michael of Plymouth, John Owens of North Carolina, Patricia Armstrong and her husband John of Duxbury and Bethanie Clifford and her husband Frank of Grafton; her brother Richard Guiney of Boston; 15 grand-children and five great-grandchildren. A funeral Mass was cel-ebrated at Holy Family Church and burial was in the Wildwood Cemetery, Ashland. Contributions in Marie’s memory may be made to the Alzheimer’s Association, alz.org, then go to Do-nate, then to Tribute/Memorial Donation. Funeral arrangements by the MacDonald Funeral Home 1755 Ocean St, Marshfield.

Anne Marie (Raab) Watson, age 81, died in her sleep of pulmonary failure at the Skilled Care center at Wingate at Silver Lake in Kings-ton on April 9. She was most recently widowed on March 4, 2010, with the death of her husband of sixty years, Kenneth E. Watson, Jr.

Born in Memphis, Tenn., she was the daugh-ter of Arthur William Raab of Indianapolis, Ind. and Aileen (Clyde Downey) Raab of Houston, Tex. She spent her early years in Birmingham, Ala. until the family moved to New Rochelle, N.Y. As a young girl, Mrs. Watson modelled for Norman Rockwell during the time the art-ist lived in New Rochelle. Later while in high school, she worked for the Disney Studios as an animation color artist.

Following her graduation from New Ro-chelle High School, Mrs. Watson attended West-ern College (now part of Miami University) in Oxford, Ohio. Following World War II, she and Ken Watson were married in New Rochelle and moved to Philadelphia where they lived until Mr. Watson completed his education. From there, the couple returned to New Rochelle.

In 1956 the family moved to Wilton, Conn. where they lived and raised their family. Mrs. Watson was very active in the Wilton Commu-nity Garden Club and The Wilton Playshop, as a set and props assistant backstage. An avid skier, she also worked at the Ski Hut in Wilton and the family enjoyed a ski house near the Sugarbush resort in Warren, Vt.

Mrs. Watson joined Homequity (now a part of PHH Mortgage) as a Corporate Relocation Specialist, where she worked assisting the relo-cation of executives and their families. During these years she earned her license as a residen-tial real estate appraiser.

At retirement, the Watsons settled on the shores of Lake Candlewood in Brookfield, Conn. A member of the Brookfield chapter of the Philanthropic Educational Organization (PEO), Mrs. Watson gave countless hours to volunteering for the organization.

Mrs. Watson had a passion for travel and with a group of friends, visited Aruba, Bermu-da, the British Isles, and the Netherlands among other locations.

She leaves her son, Kenneth E. (Terry) Watson, III and his wife, Caroline M. (BeBe) Watson, of Duxbury; her daughter, the late Anne Katharine Noble; three grandchildren, 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 Katharine Watson of New Milford, Conn.

A memorial service will be held in the spring at the Brookfield Congregational Church, Brookfield, Conn. Contributions may be made in Mrs. Watson’s memory to Doctors Without Borders USA, P.O. Box 5030, Hagerstown, MD 21741.

Weymouth Bank - Concept Ad 3 col. x 7 (5.9” X 6”) - Duxbury Clipper April 2010

Is having nearly 70%* of all bank deposits in our nation controlled by a few large financial

institutions really good for our nation’s economy – or security?

Given what we know now, how manyAmericans think that the creation of “too-big-to-fail” mega banks is good for anyone other than fat cats on Wall Street?

For those of you who have been “merged”into banking with an institution that doesn’t

know you and takes you for granted, considercoming home to a local bank that cares about

the same things you care about.

What good is a mosquito?

By Fahy ByGate, Clipper Columnist

Lying in bed last night I heard a flock of geese flying over the house. Their wild call grew louder as they came closer then faded away as they moved

out over the woods toward the bay. Were they migrants moving north for the summer or just some local geese out for a midnight adventure? Canada Geese used to follow migratory routes each fall and spring, heading south for the winter as migratory birds do, but now food is so abundant all year round that many birds overwinter leaving only

when the ponds and lakes freeze. Then they make a mini-migration to the closest open water and return when things warm up.

Geese have been celebrated in story and song, poetry and children’s literature. Who is the preeminent teller of children’s rhymes? Mother Goose, of course. There are tales of the goose that laid the golden egg, the Goose Girl, etc. These birds stir the hearts of poets, too (read Mary Oliver’s “Wild Geese”). Geese mate for life and both parents tend the young and so are old symbols of fidelity, “married” life and loyalty.

But despite all that romance, geese have a very bad, if misplaced, reputation. It’s an old story. People find a pristine area filled with wildflowers and wild critters. The people are delighted: “Look, a deer!” “Oh, look at the beautiful geese. The children will love feeding those.” Two years later: “Oh no, look what those awful geese (deer, etc) have done to the lawn (garden, etc).” Wild animals have had their habitats slashed, chopped up into little pieces and often, destroyed. They adapt the best way they know how by moving into our gardens, lawns and even our towns. Coyotes, their natural predators driven off, roam our neighborhoods at night, picking off cats and menacing dogs. Geese foul our parks and lakesides with their droppings. Yet, it is the very people who hauled bags of stale bread to the parks who are now appalled.

Wild creatures deserve to live in peace no matter how much we want to cut down another wood or fill in another marsh in order to build yet another mall or housing development. They are not here in order to amuse us. People have said to me, “But what good is a mosquito?” What they mean is, “what good is it to me?” The planet does not exist solely for us, although we often act as if it does. Ask a dragonfly what good a mosquito is. We can’t stop building and expanding but we can try to live in order that other creatures can live too.

We can try not to cut trees and shrubs in the spring when birds are nesting. Did that big tree that was cut down on the block near my house have a nest in it? We can have our sterile green lawns and still preserve brushy areas in our yards for sparrows and wrens. We can vote to preserve wetlands and marshes where ducks and rails and Great Blue Herons live. Children can enjoy the birds without feeding them nutrition-poor bread. We don’t want to have to explain to them why they hear no wild geese from their beds at night.

ished for that project, and the DPW will begin seeding soon. He is hopeful the grass will be set by June 30, the opening of the Duxbury Farmers Market.

The bid for the next stage of the reconstruction has been awarded to Campbell Con-struction out of Peabody, ac-cording to Town Manager Richard MacDonald.

But before the profession-als come in and redo the inte-rior of the building, countless hours of hard work were put in by residents and Tarkiln Com-mittee members during “work weekends,” making the proj-ect move along more quickly, and cutting down the price tag through in-kind donations and volunteer labor.

“A lot of the work that’s been done by volunteers has been to get the building cleaned out, and to get it back to square one,” said Carpenter.

The volunteers will contin-ue to work on weekends, even as the contractor works on the building during the week.

A gas main was also in-stalled recently at no cost, since the town was able to do the excavation and the gas company provided the meter and other conversion equip-ment (from oil).

A booster group, the Friends of Tarkiln, recently held a successful “Choco-late and Jazz” fundraiser and has contributed financially to

the project. For example, the Friends raised the money to pay for asbestos abatement in the school’s basement. If the town had to pay it would have been about $13,000, according to Carpenter.

The Tarkiln Committee has had an initial meeting with the contractor and architect, who told Carpenter they thought they could complete the re-maining work within a couple of months.

“That’s really encouraging news,” said Carpenter.

Although he said it’s tough to pin down an exact date, it is hoped the building will be open for use no later than Au-gust. The building was a com-munity center for many years, and Carpenter hopes that town boards and other groups will take advantage. The rentals will be handled by the Recreation Department. At a previous

Board of Selectmen meeting the board unanimously voted that renting either of the two halls or the kitchen at Tarkiln will cost $35 for the first three hours and $10 an hour for each additional hour. Rental of the entire building will cost $105 for a three-hour minimum and $30 an hour thereafter.

Selectmen also voted to set the $35 per three hour rate to rent the exterior of the building for events and promised that they would revisit these fees once the building was opened and they had actual usage fig-ures. The previous rental rate at Tarkiln was $4 an hour.

Carpenter said his group hopes to hold an official open-ing of the building in Septem-ber.

“It is a school after all,” he said.

Pinewood derby races onPack 1776 held its an-

nual Pinewood Der-by recently. On Fri-

day night, scouts had a chance to sit in the driver’s seat of Randy Cabral’s race car. Randy Cabral, of Plymouth, drives the Bertrand Motorsports number 47 in the Northeastern Midget Association. It was very ex-citing for both the scouts and their families.

The next day, all the scouts returned to DHS to race their derby cars. In the pit areas each den raced their cars for first, second, and third place in their den. After two-plus hours of racing and 86 heats the first place winners from each of the ten dens raced for the overall pack leader. This year’s pack winner was Jake Shotz, Wolf scout from Den 5. The second place winner was Tiger scout, Joshua Wonkka and third place went to Bear scout Fletcher Donohue.

Boy scouts from pack 62 helped with the derby.

Wisdom Works at the Senior Center starting May 6

Responding to the needs and concerns of the community’s senior citizens is the mission of the Duxbury Council on Aging. Even before the current economic turmoil, the council saw signs that seniors will need to work longer, retire later and require more financial resources to fund additional retirement years due to increases in longevity.

To meet this need, the COA will offer a program called Wis-dom Works. Job seekers age 55 or older, who are or will be looking for work, can participate in this program. The series of four employment workshops will be facilitated by trained pro-fessionals. These professionals will facilitate the workshops de-veloped by Keystone Associates, a premier outplacement firm in Burlington.

The four week workshops will begin Thursday, May 6 and end Thursday, May 27 from 5-7 p.m. Topics include “Look-ing Back…What’s Next” (skills assessment)—May 6; “Get-ting Started” (resume/cover letter)—May 13; “Job Search Strategies”—May 20; “Interviewing” and “Research & Tech-nology” (learning how to navigate the Internet)—May 27.

Each session will be held at the Duxbury Senior Center 10 Mayflower Street, Duxbury, MA 02332. There is a registration fee of $10 per person. Participants must attend all four sessions. To register call 781-934-5774 x 102.

Lunch debate is a menu of issues

The idea of privatizing the school lunch program has engendered a surprisingly lively debate. It shows how involved Duxbury school parents are

in every aspect of their children’s’ education –– and it also shows how no decision is ever an easy one when it comes to the schools.

The schools are facing a real budget problem surrounding the lunch program. The district took some flak last year for cutting the benefits of cafeteria staff to make up the funding gap, some fairly, because that situation certainly could have been handled better. But something needs to be done about the lunch program’s deficit. In a time where the schools are losing staff and cutting budgets for things like textbooks and supplies, it is absolutely asinine to take money from the operating budget to plug a hole in a sinking lunch program. The school lunch program needs to be self-supporting – no question about it. And if privatization is a way to stop the bleeding, then it’s something the School Committee and the administration should look into.

A large crowd was in attendance at the last School Committee meeting, but seemed to be more concerned with nutrition and wellness issues than with benefits and privatization. Still, some interesting points were raised. This is an issue that matters to parents, and is receiving attention on both a local and national level. First Lady Michelle Obama is leading an initiative to fight childhood obesity. That kind of education on nutrition starts in the schools.

This is also a chance for the newly-constituted School Committee to take a more active role in improving communication. That’s been an issue over the last couple of years, and a lot of mistakes have been made –– not only that, but the main complaint is that the committee doesn’t listen to parents. Here’s a chance to take a step in a positive direction. Postpone the decision on privatization for a meeting or two to hear more input from this group and other residents. Listen to what the community has to say, and hopefully the solution will be fair to both the current cafeteria workers, taxpayers of Duxbury and our schoolchildren.

–– J. Graeber

We are writing to express our seri-ous concern (and

to alert residents of the town) about an application currently pending before the Conserva-tion Commission to construct a pier, ramp and float across the Blue Fish River Salt Marsh from the former Duxbury Rural and Historical Society’s Drew House. The application pro-poses a pier that would extend 200 feet into the middle of the Salt Marsh, then take a left-hand (90 degrees) turn for an eight foot platform (with three foot high rails) and an eighteen foot ramp (also with three-foot high rails), leading to a 200 square foot float placed in the midst of environmentally sen-sitive salt marsh. The proposed structures, effectively blocking views of the Blue Fish River from the Powder Point flagpole and along Powder Point Av-enue, would destroy a unique scenic and historic vista that the town has designated for very special protection as part of the Waterfront Scenic View Overlay District, the Historic District and the “Open Space” Overlay District.

We believe that the place-ment of a pier, ramp and float in the proposed location vio-lates several bylaws enacted by the town to safeguard the area’s

natural and historic beauty. The bylaws require that piers must be no more than 200 feet and extend to the water’s edge, but the proposed pier extends only to the middle of the salt marsh. The bylaws require that floats be placed “seaward” of any vegetation, but the float in the proposed application is placed in a narrow cut in the midst of the Salt Marsh’s vegetation. Additionally, the Conservation Commission’s own bylaws re-quire rejection of any applica-tion for a pier, as designed and located, that would “destroy a public view or degrade aes-thetic value.” Because this par-ticular area of the Salt Marsh has been preserved over many years from any development, it has remained a refuge for egrets, blue heron and all man-ner of birds and other wildlife, thereby offering all of us a most beautiful sight when we arrive in Duxbury –– once lost,

lost forever. There is no ques-tion that the pending applica-tion should be denied on these grounds alone.

We recognize that the issue of piers in Duxbury has been the source of some controversy in the past. We are not opposed to the construction of piers. However, we do oppose this pier at this location of the Blue Fish River Salt Marsh because its construction would have such adverse effects, environ-mentally and aesthetically, on this area.

The hearing on the appli-cation before the Conserva-tion Commission resumes on Tuesday, May 4, at 7:30 p.m. at Town Hall. We encourage all who care about this issue to ad-dress their questions and voice their concerns to the Conserva-tion Commission.

I was a vendor at the re-cent Duxbury Antique Show (Bliss Farm An-

tiques.) As a shop owner and dealer I sell at many shows throughout the year, most hosted by professional antique show promoters. I was amazed at the efficiency and profes-sionalism of the volunteers who

put together the Duxbury show. It was (by far)better managed than any other show I have participated in. The attention to detail (having helpers there to assist with moving furniture, food and drinks-delivered to the booth!, clean bathrooms, and pleasant, helpful show pro-moters for example) was won-

derful. Well done! Duxbury’s volunteers could teach the “professionals” a thing or two. I wish they managed all the shows I participate in. Thank you very much for making the show a pleasure to do.

Antiques show was a blast ———————

April 19, 1984: In 1984, 10-year-old Holly Leitzes was the only girl on the Duxbury Squirt B hockey team. The team played very well that year placing fourth in the state. Ac-cording to one of her coaches, Jim Summers, “Holly has a good sense of humor. She is not a person the boys pick on.” When asked if she was treated like one of the boys, she said, “Well, they don’t treat me like a little girl, but they don’t treat me like a boy either.” Girls like Holly, because of spirit and determination, helped open the way for other girls in a previously all-boys sport. Just look at how far women have come in ice hockey.

FROM THE ARCHIVES

Holly Leitzes paved the way for girls ice hockey in 1984.


Most of us have sat through high school civics

class, but it wasn’t until I be-came involved in a political campaign that I realized how much I didn’t know about how our political system works. When Bill Delahunt announced his retirement in March, my brother, Cape Islands State Senator Rob O’Leary, decided to throw his hat in the ring, and being “the good sister,” I vol-unteered to help his campaign. Step 1 involves qualifying for the ballot. For Congress, this requires a minimum of 2,000 certified signatures, meaning

voters belonging to the same party as the candidate, and In-dependents. A registered Dem-ocrat cannot vote in the Repub-lican primary and therefore his/her signature does not count for a Republican candidate. The reverse is also true. Collecting about 3,000 signatures is rec-ommended. This is meant to be difficult and time consuming. Often, people are reluctant to sign anything, believing they incur some kind of obligation. Your signature only indicates you would like to see the candi-date’s name on the ballot. You do not have to vote for him/her. You may sign papers for

two or three candidates running for the same office as long as you respect step 1 as outlined above. More names on the bal-lot means more choices for you, the voter. Who will bother to vote if there is no competition? Running for state-wide office such as governor or attorney general requires a minimum of 10,000 signatures. Most people doing this work are volunteers. Please be kind to them. They are actively participating in our system of democracy.

creaky energy-wasting appliances (clothes washers, dishwashers, refrigerators or freezers) with new high-efficiency Energy Star rated models.

When you replace your old dishwasher with a qualifying model, for example, you are eligible

for a $250 rebate. Or if you exchange that antediluvian refrigerator for a new approved model you can qualify for a $200 rebate. Replacements of clothes washers can garner a $175 rebate and even a freezer exchange can be worth a $50 rebate. If you replace all four types of old appliances you could be looking at a $675 saving. An additional $50 Energy Star refrigerator/freezer mail-in rebate is available through NStar.

This is a follow-up to “Cash For Clunkers,” the rebate program for cars. It proved so successful that Congress decided to appropriate $300 million for this new Cash for Appliance program, enabling states to fund a limited number of rebates.

All Massachusetts households are eligible but, as only $4 million has been allocated to this phase of the program, it’s strictly first come first served. Also, the time period is limited. These rebates are available only on purchases made from April 22 through May 5.

If you want to take advantage of this opportunity, here is the drill:

On April 22, at 10 a.m., call 877-627-9271 to get one or more “reservation numbers” each entitling you to claim a single appliance rebate and a rebate form.

Buy one or more approved energy-efficient appliances from a participating retailer between April 22 and May 5.

Schedule delivery of your new and removal of your old appliance(s).

Submit the required form(s) by June 19 to receive your rebate.

For further details go to masssave.com. While The Mass Save Great Appliance Exchange website

lists many approved appliance models and retailers, it offers no information about prices or relative merits of the listed models to help you make a selection.

To get some guidance I went to the Consumer Reports website, Among their dishwasher recommendations, these impressed me because they combined high ratings with reasonable prices:

The same kind of information on other appliances included in the rebate program can be found on the Consumer Reports Website (a $5.95 subscriber fee may apply). Most retailers in Massachusetts are participating in this program and have lists of qualified products.

Applying the rebate to the lowest priced model above could bring your cost for a brand new energy efficient dishwasher down to $150. Now that’s a bargain! And it’s even more so if you consider that you’ll also be giving a boost to the economy and to our energy independence.

Happy Earth Day!

We’d like to thank the Duxbury community for

helping to make our Chocolate and Jazz fundraising event on Saturday, April 10 a wonderful success. It was a fun evening full of fabulous champagne, delicious chocolate, lively conversation, great music and wonderful works of art.

We are very grateful to so many people who helped make this event a success includ-ing the Art Complex Museum and Charlie Weyerhauser; Dan Miele and the Dick Rancatore jazz trio, Anne and George Ward, Deni Johnson, Jessica

Williams of Williams Design Studio, Bonnie Post and Jay Noonan, Westwinds Bookshop, Duxbury Wine and Spirits, Folk Art Antiques, Mark Col-lins, and Jan Phillips of Simply Divine Catering. Thank you to our many silent auction donors for their incredibly generous donations, as well as our hard-working committee for all their help and hard work each step of the way. Thanks for believ-ing in the vision of Tarkiln as “a place for all” and for helping to make this special evening a great success.

The Friends of Tarkiln plan to put all monies raised from this

event towards interior historic restoration of the Tarkiln Twin Schoolhouses. The CPA funds that Duxbury voters approved in 2009 will bring Tarkiln back. Help like this ensures that we can all work together to make this special piece of public property really shine. We look forward to seeing you again, or meeting you anew at Tarkiln, when it re-opens to the public later this summer!

Bumpus Gallery presents watercolors by Robert Burgess

He taught art for many years, most recently at Lasell College, and over the years his work was exhibited in numerous local and national art shows. He was the recipient of many awards, including “Best in Show” from both the Duxbury Art Association and the Cape Cod Art Association and the Grumbacher Medal for Design. He was a signature member of the New England Watercolor Soci-ety, the oldest watercolor society in the United States.

A reception to honor the artist will be held at the Gallery on Saturday, May 1, from 2-4 p.m.

Complimentary refreshments will be served and all are in-vited to attend.

The Helen Bumpus Gallery is located on the main level of the Duxbury Free Library, 77 Alden Street. The exhibit may be viewed during regular library hours.

It’s a popular misconception to think that old age must be a dwindling of capacity, and

an even more popular misconception to think that our culture insists on it. Barring fitness issues, there’s no reason to reduce one’s horizons as a balance to the increase of one’s years.

Marty has finally reduced some of his activities at age 83 or so. I met him on the subway this past weekend when he asked me, “What are you doing?”

I was hopping, clattering my heels,

and singing “Lullaby of Broadway” to my wife on the One Train headed through Times Square.

“Tap dancing,” I said, “but not very well.”

He nodded in a way that suggested

that my explanation actually provided some needed information – I could have been shaking off bugs. He approved of my self–critique.

I’m old enough, cagey enough, and clever enough to spot a safe conversation when I stumble into it, especially in a crowded New York subway car. The rules change when the hour is late and the car is nearly empty. Besides, not counting my dancing, he started it. I thought it only polite to engage him in return.

I introduced myself, and he said his

By mike Halloran, sports editor [email protected]

They have been the two dominant powers in Mas-sachusetts’s high school la-crosse: Duxbury in Division I and Medfield in Division II.

On Friday night on a cold and damp evening at Chandler Field in Duxbury, both squads were determined to prove who was king of the Common-wealth.

As has been the case for almost a decade, Duxbury proved they are still the team to beat when they earned a hard-fought 12-8 win over the Warriors with an explosive third period onslaught.

It’s debatable if Medfield is Duxbury’s toughest in-state opponent on the schedule, but they sure made their claim to be in the first period. When the first 12 minutes was over with the game tied at 3-3.

It took Duxbury just 1:20

to grab an early 1-0 lead when senior midfielder Nick Wood-gate came flying down the right wing and buried his shot into the far corner past Med-field goaltender Sam Aronson.

Outscoring the Dragons will be tough for any team, so the Warriors were deliberate on their first possession, work-

ing the perimeter for close to three minutes before attacking Duxbury netminder Mickey Zaverucha. The senior cap-tain made the initial save, but senior midfielder Kyle Foster was on the spot to grab the re-bound and put it in to tie the game at 1-1.

The action began to open up a bit in the final five min-utes of the opening quarter, as sophomore Will Siefert took a feed from classmate Paul Hel-lar and faked Aronson to the ground before sliding it behind him for a 2-1 lead with 4:11 on the clock.

It looked like the Dragons were making a statement ear-ly when junior Kane Haffey dodged his way in close and beat Aronson at the post for a 3-1 lead, but the Warriors came back 11 seconds later when Foster took the faceoff and raced straight down the field to beat Zaverucha and cut the lead to 3-2.

Less than a minute later Medfield tied the score at 3-3 on a Matt Bletzer goal, and Duxbury knew they were in for a battle.

The start of the second quarter saw Hellar put some beautiful moves on the War-rior defense, cutting in from the right and beating Aronson for a 4-3 lead.

Just 29 seconds later Haffey drove Medfield de-fender Garrett Read crazy, dodging back and forth as he moved closer to the goal be-fore finally beating Aronson for a 5-3 lead with 8:42 left in the half.

It appeared the Dragons were on their way when they had possession and called a timeout with 6:19 to go, only to see Medfield regain posses-sion and pepper Zaverucha to no avail. Unfortunately, the senior netminder’s clearing pass up field went awry, al-

Dragons cut Warriors down to size

name was Marty, with a sensible New Yorker’s anonymity. We soon swapped brief tales of education and employment. I went to Franklin Pierce, in New Hampshire.

“Never heard of it,” he said.“It was full of New Yorkers,” I explained.“Uh-huh.”Marty said he was a retired professor – Columbia,

City University of New York and other spots – and taught economics.

“Econometrics, actually. Know anything about it? No? Most people don’t.”

He laughed when I told that if I knew more, hackers wouldn’t run from stealing my identity, shouting as they scatter, “No! Take it back! Take it back!”

In the span of a few stops, we learned enough to get the heft of one another’s life, enough to swap real greetings if, by some stroke of luck, our paths ever cross again. Years ago I would have seen only a grumpy curmudgeon. Now I have vision enough to see the twinkle in the eye and the substance, the gravitas behind the twinkle behind the grump.

My wife and I were in New York for another matinee visit to the Met – La Traviata this time, with Angela Gheorghiu – a Bolt-bus day-trip that’s cheaper than dirt ($36 round trip from South Station). It made church the next morning a little difficult (I’m only guessing at this – we slept in), but it took us out of our little Duxbury world and put us once again in the wide, wild world.

Marty seemed to appreciate where we were from. He loved Boston when he was here, years ago. Hated Washington, but liked Boston. (This convinced my wife that he was on the level.) He especially liked the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum and the MFA. He cracked that Gardner was a silly woman, grumped about the stolen masterpieces (I think he blamed her for not leaving a more careful legacy), and registered some delight that anyone named Isabel can get into the Gardner for free forever.

Our stop came too soon. Marty was going further downtown, to NYU. I told him I would “google” him, hoping for the best. He stopped me when I said it.

“It’s my last name,” he said. “Marty is my last name.”Sure enough, I had met Alvin Marty, world-class scholar

and economist. I think he hoped I would find his tracks on the Internet. I did. In just one of his articles, I learned a critical truth with even deeper certainty: I don’t know economics.

But I know Marty.

lowing Peter Gill’s unassisted goal to cut the deficit to 5-4 at halftime.

“Our defense did a great job,” said Coach Chris Sweet. “We came in at halftime and made some adjustments. Our message at halftime was if you are going to win a game like this you need to win the groundballs, and we came out in the second half and did that.”

With nervous Duxbury fans holding their breaths, the Warriors started the second half with a man-up situation and tied the game at 5-5 when Gill scored his second of the night, coming out of the corner and beating Zaverucha high.

There was little doubt the wake-up call had been made, and it was now time for the Dragons to take control and put some distance between the two teams.

A Siefert feed to Haffey in the slot led to the go-ahead goal at the 6:50 mark when his shot rattled off the post. The play seemed to fire up the home team, as they scored five more goals in a five-minute span with Siefert, Haffey, ju-

nior Bryan Barry, sophomore Chris Williams, and Hellar beating Aronson for a comfort-able 11-5 lead after three peri-ods.

The lead grew to 12-5 1:36 into the final quarter, as Siefert took a pass from sophomore Sam Sweet, who had beaten an aggressive double-team, and scored his third goal of the game.

With the game in hand, Duxbury relaxed and watched as the Warriors tacked on three more goals in the final five minutes to make the score re-spectable.

“It feels great because we

want to beat everyone and we are happy to come away with a win over the best program in Division II,” said a happy Sweet.

After traveling to BC High on Monday, the Dragons now set their sights on hosting a trio of out-of-state opponents this week that include Simsbury, Conn. on Wednesday after-noon, Niskayuna, NY on Sat-urday, and Christian Brothers Academy on Sunday.

Dragons’ DenSports Editor Mike Halloran • [email protected]


The Duxbury girls’ golf team entered the break with a 4-1 record after taking two out of three matches last week on their Duxbury Yacht Club home course.

Wins over Nauset (4-2) and Falmouth (4-2) were sand-wiched around the Lady Drag-ons’ first loss of the year: a 5-3 loss to Newton Country Day.

Nauset’s Rachel Bernstein bested Duxbury’s Briana Con-nolly 2 and 1, despite a pair of pars by the Lady Dragons’ top player, while Erin McKenna tied Duxbury’s Kara Falcone to put the Lady Dragons on notice for the rest of the after-noon.

From then on it was all Duxbury, as Maria Varonko beat Nauset’s Hayley Sand-ers 2-up at No. 3, and Kend-all Johnson was a 2-up winner over Kathryn DiCenso.

Senior rookie Kaitlin Sul-livan was a big winner at No. 5 with a 4 and 3 win over Kaitlin Bohan, while Nauset’s Grace Smith got the Warriors final point of the afternoon when she tied Lorin Gerraghty at No. 6.

Wednesday’s match with Newton Country Day saw a different scoring system with

the scores of eight players counting in the final tally.

Connolly won a close match over Erin Desimore, 4-3, while shooting a birdie and six bogies, and playing partner Falcone won 2-1 over Madeline Connolly.

It was mostly downhill af-ter that, except for Sullivan, who won her match 1-up over Meghan Doe at No. 4.

Johnson (1-down), Allie Martin (2-1), Devon Tsinzo (3-1), Cayla Barker (1-down), and Emma Fiskio (3-1) all came down to the wire, but couldn’t pull out wins.

Coach Jack Stoddard mixed up his pairings on Thursday and went with his two most consistent winners at No. 1 and No. 2, but the

shakeup didn’t seem to work any magic.

Connolly (a par) was knocked off by Falmouth’s Mary Kate Robinson, 2 and 1, while Sullivan, moving up to No. 2, dropped a 5 and 3 match to Meg Anderson.

The depth on the Duxbury roster showed the rest of the way, as Varonko (a par) beat Sheldon Sparks (5 and 3), Johnson was a 1-up winner over Lana McHugh, Martin took Liz Rennie at 4 and 3, and Barker took care of Allie Thomas by winning 2 and 1.

After vacation week the girls will get back on the course on Tuesday when they host Barnstable, ending a stretch of four straight home matches.

It’s been tough for senior Laura Walter in her tenure as a member of the DHS softball team, living in the shadows of the pitching Ducinski sis-ters, she rarely got a chance to throw.

Now she is in the spotlight as the senior member and No. 1 pitcher of the Lady Dragons and is coming through on the mound and at the plate while

leading a young squad.After a tough 1-0 loss to

Silver Lake two weeks ago, Walter suffered her second consecutive loss in a 6-2 de-feat at the hands of Whitman-Hanson early last week, de-spite striking out 10 Panther batters.

Duxbury staked its hurler to a 2-1 first-inning lead on hits by Erin Gallagher, Chris-tina Curley, Walter and Caro-line McSherry, only to see the Panthers chip away at the lead. Duxbury threatened in the sixth inning with runners on second and third with no outs, but couldn’t push a run across.

It was a frustrating after-noon for Coach Rod Laniews-ki, as his team stroked 10 hits, but couldn’t put them together at the right time to take advan-tage.

Walter and her teammates bounced right back two days later against North Quincy, as the right-hander had a perfect game thru 5 2/3 innings, while also going 3 for 3 at the plate. The Red Raiders managed a couple of scratch hits and scored a run in the seventh-inning, but Duxbury prevailed and held on for a 2-1 win.

The following day it was the Walter show once again, as she had a career-high 15 strikeouts in a 9-0 shutout win over the Harborwomen.

Duxbury scored what would prove to be the winning run in the first-inning on a walk to Gallagher, a stolen base, and an RBI single by Walter.

Two innings later the Lady Dragons exploded for five runs as it batted around the order. Consecutive singles by Alex Leaverton, Gallagher, Curley,

Walter and McSherry opened the floodgates.

Duxbury added two more runs in the fourth-inning, as Hingham walked three straight batters and watched as Kristin McHugh followed by a 2-rbi

single.The girls took their 3-2 re-

cord into the spring break and return to action on Saturday afternoon when they entertain Marshfield at 3 p.m.

Walter has career high in softball

After opening the season with three straight wins, the girls’ tennis team ran into its usual nemesis and was shutout by Hingham, 5-0.

Despite the dominance shown by the final score, Dux-bury Coach Jutta Rossano said it wasn’t as bad as it looked.

“This was our first loss

of the season. Although the score looks a bit grim, it isn’t a true representation of the ten-nis that was played,” said the coach. “Our girls played ex-tremely well and many games went to several deuces. It was good tennis by all, but just not in our favor.”

Singles had its hands full, as Michaela Dowd fell to Ro-berta Bergstein (0-6/0-6) at No. 1 singles, Cory Tucker lost to Katherine Ripple (1-6/1-6) at No. 2, and Casey Reinhart was blanked by Julia Krumholz (0-6/0-6) in the No.3 slot.

The #1 doubles pairing of Erin Nelson and Julia Allen fell to Nikki Lind and Madi Lund, 2-6/3-6, while the No.2 tandem of Therese Kozmiski and Nicole Hanrahan fell to Holly Johnson and Katie Ja-

cobson, 1-6/2-6.The week started on a

much happier note with a shut-out win over Whitman-Han-son, 5-0, and a close victory over North Quincy, 3-2.

In the win over the Pan-thers last Monday, Dowd had an easy time with Kristie Mielbye, 6-0/ 6-0, while Tuck-er almost shutout Alexis Scho-field, 6-0/6-1. Reinhart had an equally easy time beating Ga-brielle Paulson, 6-1/6-0.

Both doubles tandems barely broke a sweat, as Nelson and Allen whipped Lindsay Clay and Rachel Pellegrine, 6-1/6-0, followed by a 6-0/6-0 victory by Kozmiski and Han-rahan over Alyssa Hayes and Brenna Jackson.

“Today was an easy win for the girls, playing against

an inexperienced Whitman-Hanson team,” said Rossano. “It was a great opportunity for our younger team to get out and play some exhibition games.”

The toughest match of the week was against North Quin-cy, as Dowd and Tucker had the Lady Dragons in a hole right away at No.1 and No.2 singles.

Dowd lost to Elizabeth Sullivan, 2-6/2-6, while Tuck-er was on the losing end of 3-6/3-6 sets to Sara Sullivan. Reinhart held up the singles end for Duxbury with a 6-3/6-3 win over NQ’s Julia Ross.

Allen and Nelson won a tough second set via a 7-3 tie-breaker win (6-6) at first doubles after winning the first set rather easily with a 6-1 win

over Tiffany Leung and Lind-sey MacPherson. Kozmiski and Hanrahan continued to dominate their opponents with a 6-3/6-2 triumph over Mal-lory DeVoe and Julie Doyle at No.2 doubles.

“Our doubles teams did a great job against North Quincy, but our first and second singles had a tough time against the Sullivan twins,” said Rossano. “We are looking forward to a rematch. Casey Reinhart at third singles played a super game and led with a convinc-ing score.”

With a 3-1 record at the spring break, the Lady Drag-ons will return to action on Monday at 4 p.m. when they host Marshfield.

He is the first Falcon to win the Player of the Week award this season and it’s the second time in his career he’s earned the award.

Was Duxbury baseball Coach Barney Earle sending up a smokescreen when he questioned if his team would have enough hitting to have a chance at winning the Patriot League title this year?

After five games the Dragons seem to be on fire, and except for a 10-1 loss to Silver Lake, Duxbury has averaged over 10 runs per game in their four victories.

Last week started out on a positive note after the loss to the Lakers, as sophomore pitcher Sam Jacobson picked up his second win of the season in a 9-3 win over Whitman-Hanson.

Senior captain Matt Savard, coming back from an ankle injury, went 3 for 3, while classmate Pat McWilliams blasted a two-run home run and went 3 for 4 with 3 RBI to support Jacobson’s effort.

The rest of the lineup was also on track, as Joe Coyne, Jeff Blout and Greg O’Neal contributed two hits each in the win.

Two days later the Dragons hit the road once again, playing North Quincy and coming away with a 14-8 thrashing of the Red Raiders.

McWilliams continued to swing a torrid bat as he went 3 for 4, while O’Neal also pounded out three hits and drove in a pair of runs. Steve Blout also had two hits and an RBI to contribute to his own pitching win, while senior Connor Inglis and junior Pat Sweeney also got into the act by driving in two runs each.

The Dragons returned home on Friday to entertain Hingham and they proved to be unfriendly hosts, as they buried the Harbormen 10-2 with McWil-liams continuing to hit the ball at will. The senior was 2 for 2 with a pair of RBIs, while Savard was 2 for 2 with an RBI in support of the impressive pitch-ing of senior Jeff Blout, who struck out 12 batters while only allowing four hits.

Coyne (2 for 4), Tommy Drummy (1 for 2/ RBI), and Tom Kazanowski (1 for 3/RBI) also chipped in with contributions in the victory.

This week the Dragons will take on two non-league opponents when they tangle with Bay State League entry Norwood at home on Thursday afternoon at 4 p.m., followed by a road trip to Marshfield on Thursday for a 4 p.m. en-counter with the Rams.

necticut, Michigan, Illinois, and New Jersey. In the championship game, the Breakers beat the Susquehanna Rapids from Pennsylvania, 8-2. Overall, the Breakers outscored their opponents 30-4, while placing seven players in the top ten scorers for the tournament.

Samantha Davis (Pembroke) led all players with 14 points and Marissa Fichter (Duxbury) led all players with seven goals. The two goalies, Molly Kennedy (Sandwich) and Samantha Johnson (Scituate), were the top two rated goalies at the national championships, only allowing four goals in six games and combing for three consecutive shutouts.

Breakers 12U are national hockey champs

The members of the team include: emma crocker (abington), Davis, Payton Donato (Duxbury), Jane Dudley (Duxbury), fichter, eliza Hartford (Duxbury), Johnson, Kennedy, Georgia Leahy (scituate), Haley Marshall (Hull), Victoria McDonough (Marshfield), Kellie Quinn (Marshfield), Logan snelling (Duxbury), Kiley sullivan (Duxbury), charlotte Wahle (Duxbury), rachel Walman (Bourne), and Victoria young (Hanson). chris Donato (Duxbury), Patrick Leahy (scituate), rob crocker (abington) and Joseph young (Hanson) coached the team.


The Duxbury boys’ ten-nis team is on a roll with three straight 5-0 shutout wins and faces its biggest challenge of the year next Monday when it returns from vacation to face Hingham.

With shutout wins over Silver Lake, Whitman-Hanson and North Quincy, the Dragons had a good two-week stretch of warm-ups in preparation to take on the Harbormen and de-throne them as Patriot League champions.

Junior Brayden Minahan took only minutes to dispose of his Whitman-Hanson op-ponent at No. 1, 6-0/6-0, while classmate Peter Muncey was just as efficient in his 6-0/6-1 win at No. 2. Connor O’Keefe finished off the triple rout with a 6-0/6-0 win at No. 3

Alex Holopinen and Max Cote combined at No. 1 dou-bles for a 6-1/6-3 win, while the No. 2 doubles pairing of Stephan Day and Peter Tena-glia completed the shutout performance with a 6-1/6-4 triumph.

It was an easy win over an undermanned Panther squad, as Duxbury’s trio of singles play-ers continues to impress, while the doubles teams are showing steady improvement according to Coach John Bunar.

The win over North Quin-cy was very similar, as Minah-an (6-0/6-1), Muncey (6-0/6-1) and O’Keefe (6-0/6-4) wasted little time in cleaning up.

Doubles was equally im-pressive with a 6-4/6-0 win for Holopinen and Cote at v No. 1 doubles, followed by a 6-1/6-2 win for Tenaglia and Day in the No. 2 slot.

The Duxbury Free Li-brary’s next film in the Fourth Friday Film series, “Ma Vien En Rose / My Life in Pink” directed by Alain Berliner will screen on Friday, April 23 at 7 p.m. in the Merry Room, li-brary lower level. This R-rated movie follows a family with a secret that it desperately keeps under wraps, Everything comes out, and everyone has to make a choice about what is important to them and why. This is a subtle and sweet film

with 13-year-old Georges Du-Fresne in a remarkable debut performance.

Led by James Mandrell, library trustee and professor of film at Brandeis University, the series is designed for the over-18 crowd and meets ev-ery fourth Friday. Film screen-ings are preceded and fol-lowed by lively discussion led by Prof. Mandrell. Admission is free and refreshments are available.

For further information,

781-934-2721 x100 or go to duxburyfreelibrary.org.

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.

Fourth Friday film series BaYS auditionsThe Bay Youth Symphony Program (BaYS), sponsored by

South Shore Conservatory in collaboration with the Plymouth Philharmonic Orchestra, is currently scheduling auditions for the 2010-2011 Season. Audition dates are available in May and June, and will be held at the Ellison Center in Duxbury and at the South Shore Conservatory Campus in Hingham.

BaYS, completing its third year, currently involves more than 120 student musicians from 23 south shore communities participating in three leveled ensembles. For more information on the Bay Youth Symphony Program, visit their Web site at sscmusic.org/orchestra, or contact Managing Director Candace Kniffen at 781-749-7565, ext. 32.
