Members of the Planning Board and the town planner are frustrated about what they perceive as building permits that never should have been issued.

The issues mainly stem from second buildings on properties –– either temporary dwellings or accessory build-ings –– that are massive in size and apparently aren’t be-ing used in the ways allowed

by town bylaw.At their meeting Mon-

day night, Chairwoman Amy MacNab said she had sat down with town counsel Robert Troy and other town officials and came up with a few prop-erties that may be worth fur-ther examination. Under town rules, the Planning Board only has 30 days after the issuing of a building permit to appeal it –– however, they can ask for

The School Committee unanimously voted to offer the superintendent job to Dr. Benedict Tantillo, pending the negotiation of a contract.

The committee met last Tuesday night to deliberate be-tween the three final candidates to replace outgoing superinten-dent Susan Skeiber – Tantillo, Middleton McGoodwin and James Hayden. McGoodwin is the current superintendent in Marshfield and Hayden

works for the Brockton School Dis-trict.

Tanti l lo has been the superin-tendent of the Pascack Valley Re-

gional High School District in Montvalle, New Jersey for ten years. He was named that state’s superintendent of the year in 2006.

Enforcement issues frustrate planners

A monument to the fallen


Joe Shea was walking through the woods adjacent to Mayflower Cemetery, working on a series of pamphlets about town cemeteries, when he stumbled upon a pile of limestone.

“I recognized it immediately,” Shea said. The pile was the remains of a shattered World War I monument that had been missing for decades. Since then, Shea has led the charge to restore the memorial to its rightful place in Duxbury history.

It all started with a

walk in the woods.

ABOVE: This photograph helped give the monument committee clues as to how the monument looked before it was destroyed.

LEFT: The restored monument sits atop the “stairs to nowhere” in front of the old town hall. Some on the committee believe the monument was always intended to be located here.

The weather may be get-ting warmer, but it’s not of-ficially summer in Duxbury until a tall ship pulls into the harbor for the Opening of the Bay celebration.

This year is the 13th Open-ing of the Bay, which started as a fundraiser for the Dux-bury Bay Maritime School but has become a sign of summer in town.

“It’s become a tradition,” said DBMS’s Linda Herrick.

The event is still the school’s biggest annual fund-raiser and includes an open-ing reception on Friday, May

28 from 6:30-11:30 p.m. in the DBMS Smith Building boat shed.

Herrick said this year’s reception is taking a less for-mal approach, opting for more of a casual summer barbecue feel. The evening will begin with Dixieland jazz music by the ever-popular Williams Re-union Jazz Band followed by Connected the Band. There will be Island Creek Oysters and a silent auction.

The following day has more of a family feel, and a host of events will run from 11-3 p.m. The highlight of the day will be the tall ship Thom-as E. Lannon from Gloucester.

The ship will arrive during the day on Friday. The ship was launched in 1997 and is 90 feet long.

Admission on family day is free, although children can buy tickets for admission to the various events and games.

The day will feature mu-sic from the Williams Reunion Jazz Band as well as the DHS Jazz Band and the Wildcat Bog Stompers Bluegrass Band featuring Duxbury Idol win-ner Ike Fontaine. There will be a performance by the Haley School of Irish Dance, tables from various organizations, as well as food and games.

There will also be tours leaving from the school to tour the Gurnet Lighthouse.

For more information, or to purchase tickets to the Fri-day night reception, see dbms.org.

Legion Poppy Days upcomingOn Friday, May 28, and Saturday, May 29, members of the

Duxbury Legion Auxiliary will be offering red poppies near the Duxbury Post Office. Money dropped into the contribu-tion boxes in exchange for poppies goes directly to the activi-ties of veterans, their families, and to the families of deceased servicemen. The Duxbury Legion Auxiliary members thank the Duxbury contributors and others for their generosity over many years.

A visit from a tall ship is always part of the Opening of the Bay, and last year the Alabama stopped by Duxbury Bay. This year’s celebration starts Friday. File photo

Board plans for the futureBy susanna sheehan, Clipper staff

[email protected]

Selectmen this week ap-proved a strategic planning process designed to focus on creating a road map for man-aging the town of Duxbury into the future.

This decision comes after a lengthy discussion last week with local planner Judi Bar-rett.

Creating a strategic plan is one of the goals of new Select-man Shawn Dahlen. It is also one of the selectmen’s main responsibilities, according to the Town Manager Act, which states: “The Board of Select-men shall serve as the goal setting, long range planning and policy making body of the town.”

According to Barrett, a strategic plan is typically a five-year plan that will look at Duxbury’s mission, goals and objectives and evaluate the town’s needs and oppor-tunities. It will list the town’s strengths and weaknesses and it will also try to establish a ra-tionale for key organizational and fiscal policies.

In a May 22 memo, Bar-rett outlined two paths select-men could take when creat-ing a strategic plan. The first involved selectmen working with the town manager and town department heads to identify issues, review the town’s mission statement and compile information before involving town employees and committees. This option puts the burden of identifying the values and guiding principles of the town on the shoulders of the Board of Selectmen. After they draft a list of goals and objectives, other boards will

give them what Barrett calls a “reality check” by responding to their work and “identifying opportunities to align their ef-forts with the goals and objec-tives.”

This process will take about 18 weeks.

The second option Bar-rett lists includes involving boards, committees and town staff from the beginning of the planning process. The people involved would be asked to “initiate ideas and play a more active part in shaping the con-tent and direction of the plan,” according to the memo. This increases the “possibility of buy-in” from a larger group but it takes longer, about 20 weeks. In addition, Barrett warns that those participating may find it difficult to remem-ber they are only in an adviso-ry role because they have been involved at such a deep level.

While selectmen didn’t take an official vote, they unanimously agreed to choose the first option and start the planning process themselves.

“My feeling is that it’s our job as the Board of Select-men to set goals for the stra-tegic plan for Duxbury,” said Selectmen Chairman Shawn Dahlen.

“I agree,” said Selectman Chris Donato. “To get the ball rolling it should start with us.”

Selectman Betsy Sullivan was also in agreement. She said she felt that involving too many people too early in the process could cause selectmen to lose their focus.

Dahlen added that a stra-tegic plan is unlike the town’s comprehensive, or master plan, which is a responsibility of the Planning Board as out-

lined by state law. According to Barrett, the master plan is to guide a “community’s physi-cal evolution” instead of set-ting a long term agenda for the town’s management. Barrett noted that the Planning Board may be preparing to update its last comprehensive plan from 1999.

IN OTHER BUSINESS:

• Learned about the town’s introduction of its new on-line registration program for the Percy Walker pool, the Recreation Department and the Before and After Dark programs. Online registra-tion/membership will be available twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week from both computers and internet enabled devices like smart phones. The first program to go live will be pool member-ships followed in two weeks by swim lesson registrations. On Aug. 2, the fall Recreation Department programs will be available and in the beginning of September the Before and After Dark courses will be ready for on-line registration.

• Were informed that the cemetery expansion program approved by Town Meeting two years ago was cur-rently underway. The land is not being cleared for a police or fire station, said Town Manager Richard MacDonald.

• Learned that MacDonald has completed all his perfor-mance evaluations of town employees and that money for any raises will come from the personnel plan as voted at the annual Town Meeting.

• Learned that the Crematory Building Committee has cho-sen an architect and is in the process of negotiating a con-tract with that company.

Online registration now available for town departments

The town of Duxbury is pleased to announce that several departments will be participating in a new service offering - online registrations. Starting this week, from the comfort of home, people will be able to register for programs offered by the Duxbury Recreation Department, Percy Walker Pool, Be-fore and After Dark, and Before and After Dark Driver Educa-tion Program. Because the system runs over the Internet, it is easily available 24 hours a day, seven days a week from any computer or internet enabled phone at http://activenet.active.com/duxburyrecreation.

Before you can sign up for any program, lesson, etc., a user must create an account. Once an account is created, any num-ber of activities, lessons, or memberships for Percy Walker Pool can be managed from one household account. Schedules and notifications are among the benefits that this new system will provide. Families will be able to securely manage their activities, download schedules and receive notifications.

In addition to offering this convenient service to its resi-dents, the Duxbury Recreation Department, Percy Walker Pool and Before and After Dark will also be able to easily and efficiently track program attendance, send notices, and access departmental reports.

Look on each individual Web site for complete registration information:

DSU newsMembership month: May kicks off membership month at

the DSU, with open enrollment for Alden, DMS and DHS stu-dents as well as Duxbury students attending private schools. For our Alden friends, membership is limited to only 60 students. While we never have 60 students on any particular day, it ensures that the group size is manageable and everyone participates in activities and projects. Our first year with Alden has been a blast –– thank you to members, friends and families for spreading the word about our after school program, Freaky Fridays and Fist Full of Fun camps. With an established track record, our mem-bership for 2010/2011 is likely to fill quickly so please send in your enrollment form found at duxburystudentunion.com. Our Alden program fee has increased slightly to offset program sup-plies so we can continue to provide a very unique and engaging program for the next school year. For our middle school mem-bers, we are offering 2009 prices for early enrollment before July 1. That means $175 for the year (no $25 registration fee required for current members), with anytime drop in Monday-Thursday from 2:45-5 p.m. along with discounts to events, Freaky Fridays and Fist Full of Fun camps. Leadership opportunities are avail-able to members by serving on committees to organize events, brainstorm ideas for programs, activities and outreach projects. Starting July 2, the membership will increase to $200 with a $25 registration fee. New for the 2010/2011 school year is a drop in punch card for students who do not feel they would use the DSU on a frequent basis. The punch card is $60 for 10 visits. Each drop in student needs to identify themselves upon check in and their punch card updated by DSU staff. The punch card is not a membership, so membership discounts and benefits do not apply. Families can trade in their punch card for a membership if their child wishes to join at $225 (includes $25 registration fee).

Skatefest: Coming Saturday, June 19, the DSU hosts the 2010 Summer Skatefest featuring bands, skateboarding demos and contests, giveaways, raffles and more. The event is sponsored by BERN and RIDE PHAT (Protect your Head At all Times). To get ready for some serious action, join skate vets, Tristan Cary and C.J Gallopo for open skate sessions on Monday afternoons, 3-4 p.m. in the DSU parking lot. They will provide instruction for beginner-intermediate features. Free for members, $5 drop in for non-members. A helmet is to be worn at all times and a waiver consent signed.

Alden and DMS members learn how to make a healthy after-school snack of strawberry and banana smoothies with direction from Chef Joyce Tiberi.

A Tufankjian Family Dealership


A threat found in the mid-dle school last Wednesday afternoon had police evacuat-ing students to the Performing Arts Center.

Lt. Lewis Chubb of the Duxbury Police Department said a written threat was found at the middle school. He de-clined to comment further on the nature of the threat, how-ever DMS Principal Blake Dalton told the School Com-mittee later that night that it involved a threat written on the bathroom wall. Dalton said a student brought the threat to his attention around 1:30 p.m.,

and he brought it to Police Chief Matthew Clancy, who recommended the building be evacuated to the Performing Arts Center.

“We got all of our students and faculty out of the building within five minutes,” Dalton said.

He added that the buses picked up students in front of the PAC at their normal dis-missal time, however most of the students’ backpacks were left in the school.

“Most of the kids were yelling, “Yay! No homework tonight!” Dalton quipped.

Dogs were brought in to sweep the building, and the

next morning, students were asked to bring needed school supplies in a clear plastic bag.

“It went off very well, I have to commend my staff on how they handled it,” said Dalton.

News of the threat spread quickly and although police stressed that everything was safe at the schools, concerned parents drove to pick up their children and created a large traffic jam on St. George and Alden Streets. A police offi-cer at the intersection of those two streets tried to keep things moving as cars backed up around 2:30-3 p.m.

“We had a fairly large in-flux of parents,” said Chubb.

Anyone with information about who may have written the message should contact Duxbury Police detectives at 781-934-5656.

Duxbury resident and DHS 2007 graduate Lija Treibergs spent April in Egypt as a research assis-tant to Gerta Keller, professor of Paleontology and

sedimentary geology at Princeton University, where Treibergs is a junior geology major. The group was in Egypt collecting samples and studying the Cretaceous/Tertiary boundary and the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum at three different field sites, one in the Sinai and two near Luxor. The samples will be analyzed for a variety of things, including microfossils, carbon isotopes, and trace elements. Treibergs reports that in addition to the field work, the group did some sightseeing, and traveled to the The Great Pyramid of Giza, Valley of the Kings, Temple of Hatshepsut, and many other temples and monuments.

Pearl Dexter, editor/publisher of “Tea: A Magazine,” recently stayed at Powder Point Bed and Breakfast, located in Duxbury, and visited All Things Tea, a tea room located in Plymouth. Both businesses are owned and operated by Duxbury residents, Richard and Linda Quigley. Ms. Dexter was drawn to these establishments because they are the only locations in the U.S. to offer Tregothnan Estate Teas. Among tea connoisseurs, Tregothnan Estate Teas are significant because they are the only teas grown and blended in England. (Pictured are Linda Quigley, Richard Quigley and Pear Dexter.)

Marilyn Maureen (Long) Graffeo, 61, of Plymouth, formerly of Duxbury, died Saturday, May 15. She was born in Boston, the daughter of the late Bernard and Michelina Long. She spent her life being a devoted wife, mother, and grandmother. Marilyn was an excellent cook, traveled across six continents, and was an avid Boston sports fan.

Mrs. Graffeo leaves her husband, Anthony, of Plymouth; her children Michael Graffeo and his wife Kristin of Millbury, and Andrea Graffeo Plant and her husband Chris of Cambridge; her

grandchildren, Daniela and Cameron; as well as her two brothers, several nieces, nephews, and cousins.

A celebration of her life will be held at the Graffeo home. In lieu of flowers, a memorial fund has been set up in Mrs. Graffeo’s name at Rockland Trust, rocklandtrust.com. Contact any Rockland Trust branch to contribute to the fund. Contributions will be used to name a Gene in the “Gene Display” at Dana Farber Cancer Institute in memory of Mrs. Graffeo.

Margaret E. Young, known as Peggy Gene as a child and more recently as Peggy, died just short of her 91st birthday in Plymouth.

Mrs. Young was the daughter of Marga-ret Carpenter Sliger, and John R. MacPher-

son Klotz. She was born and raised in Montclair, New Jer-sey where she met her husband, the late William C. Young. They were married for 58 years. After their marriage, the couple summered in Manomet, Mass. with his family and his seven brothers

and sisters and their children. She lived the last fifteen years of her life in Duxbury.

Mrs. Young spoke and/or read eight lan-guages, and was especially fluent in French. She was widely traveled and had visited Italy, Spain, England, Scotland, Switzerland, Germa-ny, Belgium, the Netherlands and the Caribbean

including Cuba. Her journeys took her to many museums and she developed an interest in art, especially Monet and the Impressionists.

Mrs. Young attended Smith College and was secretary of her class at Kimberley Acade-my for two generations. She was a docent at the Montclair Art Museum for 21 years, president of the residents at the Village at Duxbury from 1996 to 1999 and on the Board of Governors from 1999 to 2004.

At age 83, she wrote her memoirs. Until her final days she was still reading and writing to her large family.

Mrs. Young leaves her sons Peter of Bir-mingham Alabama, Mason of Manomet, Mass, John of Brentwood California, her son-in-law John Robb of Summit, New Jersey, and their families. She was the mother of the late Mar-garet.

In lieu of flowers it was her wish that con-tributions be sent to the Cranberry Hospice, 36 Cordage Park Circle, Plymouth, MA, 02360, and the Manomet Center for Conservation Sciences, at P.O. Box 1770 Manomet, MA, 02345.

Rachel Stadelmann’s stu-dents have always known she was a special teacher. Only re-cently, however, has the rest of the world been made aware of that fact as she was honored as one of the top five teachers in Massachusetts.

Stadelmann, a fourth grade teacher at Alden, learned in December that she had been nominated by a group of par-ents for Massachusetts Teach-er of the Year, a designation overseen by the state Depart-ment of Education.

Last week, the initial field of 170 nominees was narrowed down to five, including Stadel-mann. She was recognized for the feat at last Wednesday’s School Committee meeting.

Superintendent Susan Skieber read from a certifi-cate Stadelmann received at the most recent ceremony. The document had a quote from the Book of Proverbs that states: “A wise teacher makes learn-ing a joy.”

“I know Ms. Stadelmann

has certainly done that,” said Skeiber.

Stadelmann attended the meeting with her mother Mary, a former teacher, and said she was humbled by the honor.

“I grew up with the most patient, gifted and talented

teacher – my mother,” she told the committee.

There will be a community celebration for Stadelmann on June 16, from 5-7 p.m. at the Duxbury Student Union.

Alden teacher Rachel Stadelmann, pictured here with her mother Mary (also a former teacher) outside the School Committee meet-ing last Wednesday, was among the top five teachers of the year for Massachusetts.

enforcement at any time.“As this board knows, this

has been a long effort,” said MacNab. “This is just the tip of the iceberg.”

MacNab pointed to one property where certain aspects of the construction were in the demolition permit rather than the building permit.

“It was almost as if every-thing was piggybacked to the original permit ... which really bypassed the process,” she said.

Town Planner Tom Broad-rick said that when he first served as the town planner several years ago, all the build-ing permits passed through his office. However, when he started his second stint in Duxbury many applications were marked “N/A” when it came to Planning Department oversight. He said he’s now reviewing all building appli-cations, but there still seems

to be some confusion between departments.

MacNab also pointed to a building on River Way –– that project is being appealed not by the town but by a neighbor who requested zoning enforce-ment.

“I think it is frustrating to everyone who was at those meetings that this thing got built,” she said. “This is con-firmed to be in direct conflict with our current zoning by-law.”

Another structure sits in the wetlands protection district –– which should have trig-gered a special permit from the zoning board.

“It needed a special per-mit,” MacNab said. “That is what gives us all the ability to have a say.”

Perhaps one of the most egregious examples given at the meeting, however, is a two-story accessory building on School Street. It is 56 feet long and 32 feet wide –– yet

the stated purpose on the plans say “storage.” Broadrick said he is trying to get answers.

“The accessory structure is supposed to be subordinate to the main structure,” he said. “An accessory structure that looks like this seems to be out of sync of what the intent of the bylaw is.”

MacNab said she was very frustrated with the difficulties enforcing the rules. She point-ed out that enforcement was the major issue at last year’s land use summit, which in-volved all the town’s land use boards.

“I have simply watched us go downhill ... we’re losing it,” she said.

MacNab thanked Broad-rick for taking the lead on the enforcement issue.

“He’s been the first one to say there is no more important issue facing this town than this enforcement issue,” she said.

The board had some dis-cussion about sitting down with town counsel and/or consultants to look at the ac-cessory use bylaw. However John Bear said he didn’t want any gray area in the rules to be used as a crutch.

“This is not about misin-terpreting the bylaw, it’s about not doing the job of examining building permits,” he said.

“It could be made clearer, but I don’t believe the prob-lems we are seeing is because the bylaw isn’t clear,” added MacNab.

The Duxbury Art Associ-ation announces new themes for its highly successful Sum-mer Fun program. Summer Fun is the visual arts program where children can stretch their imaginations, learn new skills and make new friends. This visual arts program in-corporates art, crafts and creative activities including songs, games, stories and play.

This year’s themes and dates:

July 6–9: ( 4 days) Stars & Stripes*

July 12–16: Under the Sea

July 19–23: Artsy Astro-nauts

July 26–30: Animal Ex-pedition

Aug. 2–6: Mexican Mad-ness

Aug. 9-13: Knights & Princesses

Aug. 16-20: Surfin’ Sa-fari

Aug. 23–27: Wild Wild West

Each week students ex-plore the theme by creating two-dimensional and three-dimensional art projects us-ing an assortment of mate-rials in the studio with the supervision and support of an art teacher and a teaching as-sistant. Students learn about

the animals, environment, history and culture relevant for each theme. The program focuses on the creative pro-cess and learning experience.

Summer Fun runs Mon-day through Friday from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.

The highlight of each week is the art show at noon on Friday when parents, rela-tives and friends are invited to view the art created by the students during the week.

The program offers specif-ic activities and projects best suited for two age groups: 4-5 year olds or 6-9 year olds. An art instructor and teaching as-sistant work with a maximum of 12 students per session. Students are asked to dress for mess, bring a snack and a beach towel.

Tuition for members is $180 per week with a dis-counted tuition of $160 for an additional sibling in the same family, the same price as last year!

*$145 members / $195 non-members for Stars & Stripes

Students may become members at the time of reg-istration. Tuition assistance is available; a scholarship application is available at the DAA Web site: www.dux-buryart.org.

The vote was contingent on a site visit to Tantillo’s cur-rent district in New Jersey, and the negotiation of a contract. School Committee Chairwom-an Anne Ward said the board still needs to get input from legal counsel to hammer out a contract. The site visit was tentatively scheduled for May 26.

“He’s very excited and looking forward to the visit from our team.” said Ward.

Other accomplishments Tantillo lists on his resumé are passing and overseeing a $42 million construction and renovation project, developing teacher assessment models and

initiating full-day professional development days, including the public and students on dis-trict committees and creating new course offerings in his district in technology, world languages, international busi-ness and more.

He has also been a high school principal, a football and baseball coach and a teacher of English, social studies and physical education.

At Tuesday night’s meet-ing, as the board members started to offer their thoughts on the candidates, Ward said a consensus started to form on Tantillo.

“It became very obvious as each School Committee mem-

ber took their turn that there was unanimous support,” she said. “Everyone felt very strongly that he had a proven track record of success.”

Specifically, Tantillo has has success in the academic realm and leading technology initiatives like a one-student, one-laptop program.

“We felt he had the at-tributes to be a strong leader here,” said Ward.

She also said that while each School Committee mem-ber has a different vision of how to get the Duxbury schools to the “next level” of success, board members felt that Tan-tillo had the leadership skills to bring everyone together.

The Friends of the Dux-bury Council on Aging are holding their 10th annual charity golf tournament at the Duxbury Yacht Club on June 7. The Friends are looking for more golfers and sponsors to join and play in the fundraiser to support the Senior Center. There will be a post-tourna-ment reception at the senior center. This tournament has raised $150,000 in the past nine years. All the money has been used to support the needs of Duxbury seniors, as well as

providing equipment, furni-ture and supplies to enhance the programs and activities.

The day will begin at 11:30 a.m. with registration and lunch. There will be a shotgun start at 1 p.m., and the tourna-ment will be played in scram-ble format. Play is limited to 120 players, so register early.

The cost to play is $150 per person and includes the greens fee, cart, lunch and reception. Tickets to the reception only are $25.

Sponsorships are still

available, but they will close on May 28. A corporate spon-sorship is $3,000. Or your company could sponsor the re-ception for $1,500 or lunch for $1,000. A tee/hole sponsorship is $150.

The senior center offers over 100 programs, includ-ing college courses. Call Jack Hamilton at 781-934-6003, John Todd at 781-585-9251, or Alden Ringquist at 781-934-2879 to sign up as a golfer or sponsor.

As Your Ship Went DownAs your ship went down, my darling,

I saw your sails tugging before the wind,and your prow, splendid, pointing toward home.

As your ship went down, my darling,I saw faces of people you loved on the decks,

their arms were hailing: we are here!

As your ship went down, my darling,I could not see the terrible breach,so deep it fled in the wash of waves.

When your ship went down, my darling,I was left without breath on a silent sea,

my heart reaching across it for you.

A scholar-athlete at Dux-bury High School, Jamie was captain of three varsity teams and went on to play basket-ball at Williams College. De-spite her achievements, she had struggled with depres-sion since her student days. She died in March of this year. Jamie’s legacy is one of kindness, acceptance, ex-cellence, and extraordinarily hard work.

Q: You recently acquired some federal stimulus money to expand to a third store in South Boston. Can you talk about that?

A: It’s through the Ameri-can Recovery Act, which was created by the Obama adminis-tration to help capitalize some economic growth in urban ar-eas.

Q: Was this something the city approached you with?

A: We were looking at a particular opportunity and struggling with capital. The powers that be within the city came up with an approach that was going to be helpful to us. I think they were looking at the community need to get the biggest bang for the buck, rela-tive to employment growth and economic activity, I don’t think they’re interested in just giving out money without a business plan. They were also looking to join something that had some momentum. We already had a store in Boston in the South End, which we built with pri-vate funds as we did here in Duxbury. However, that avenue does not seem to exist in this economy for small businesses. This is primarily to promote the growth of small businesses. I think it’s a great benefit.

Q: Is your business still growing despite the econo-my?

A: We see opportunities out there in underserved areas, as we did here in Duxbury. People really wanted to have a store within their community selling products that they need.

Q: Now that you’ve been here for a while what’s your sense of how things are go-ing?

A: We’re still a work in progress. I think we have a market that we’re going to be able to build on, but I think it’s going slower than we would have liked. There was an initial outpouring of support. I think we have some very prolific cus-tomers. I think others probably define us incorrectly.

Q: When you say you’re a work in progress, is it just a matter of more feet in the store or is there some other way the community can be more supportive?

A: I think it all translates into viable business, whether or not you survive. And going into that is that you have to fill a particular need. We have to provide something that is valu-able to the customer.

Q: How do you feel people are ‘misidentifying’ the busi-ness?

A: The American economy is filled with giants that have name recognition that goes be-yond community boundaries. Then there are other small busi-nesses which may have less of a position out there, and iden-tity that they may be defined, in some cases, as the high priced alternative. And we think that the people that might do that are misinformed and not giving us the opportunity to present our product line and our way

of conducting our business. Be-tween here and several exits up on the highway you’ve got five or six Stop & Shops. You’ve got one Foodie’s. So by definition we must be the odd man out.

Q: When you first opened the Duxbury store, you want-ed to foster a community con-nection. Do you feel that’s been successful?

A: I think we have a core group of customers that come in here if not daily, weekly. They have supported us greatly and have allowed the store to exist. We’re getting some marginal growth. We need to find others that are within this community just like those people and prove ourselves to them. We see it very much as a two-way street, but I think on some occasions people are not necessarily giv-ing businesses the opportunity to prove themselves.

Q: Is it sometimes diffi-cult to compete with the big chains?

A: It can be a challenge. There are probably some things where we’re more expensive but some things where we’re less expensive. There are foods that we may have that are of a superior quality that they don’t. For instance we have prepared foods. We prepare them. They don’t, period. We have local produce. They may say they do, but it’s a fraction. We’ve got gourmet products that they don’t have. We think we are the fresh alternative.

Q: The desire in town to fill this spot with a super-market was great, and in some ways the town actively recruited Foodie’s. How was that experience and the sup-port from the town?

A: I think the town sup-port was magnificent. Duxbury should be very proud of a cou-ple people in particular. Betsy Sullivan was instrumental in getting us here as was Richard MacDonald, and a whole group of residents that were extremely supportive, and would actually visit us in Boston. We’re hop-ing to maintain and build on that sense of community. That’s been a good experience for us.

Q: In a broader sense, how can the town be more supportive of local business?

A: I think the town needs to look at what the competitive

landscape is. In some cases they can meet or counterweigh some of the influences that exist out-side of Duxbury. I think Dux-bury is right in being protec-tive of their environment. You can just look south to see how Plymouth has done a terrible job. They’ve created a moon-scape outside of their central business district. It’s hurt us a lot. Is there a way for Duxbury to counteract that without ru-ining their town? I don’t think so. What can happen is that the people of Duxbury can shop lo-cally. They can support the lo-cal businesses – beyond us.

Q: Is there anything that surprised you about starting a business in Duxbury?

A: I think I was surprised by the tenacity of some of the people to give us their all. In terms of customers we’ve met some really wonderful people that are so committed to this business, and two that commu-nity objective was something I wasn’t experienced with and I didn’t recognize that coming in – and thank God for that. The contradiction to that is it’s dif-ficult to get beyond that core group. It’s that we’re not con-venient, or that we’re defined a certain way, or we’re just not offering the right product. I’m not sure what it is. We are still a work in progress. We have a business here we’re building and have every intention of maintaining. We’re very com-mitted to the community be-cause a lot of the community has been very committed to us. The community has been very supportive.

Q: Has being in the Hall’s Corner Plaza had an effect?

A: I think sense of place is very important to Duxbury. I think that’s been a positive. I think we’ve helped promote that I think we’ve helped fill these other stories. I think it all works together. I think the more that happens in the Dux-bury business community the better. I think the next step is going be how do we collective-ly counteract what’s happening beyond the borders. To some degree there’s a push and pull on that because Duxbury is a unique place and we want it to stay that way.

The Parker House Hotel in Boston is rich with history and is the birthplace of the now ubiquitous Parker House Roll which, since the 19th century, has set the

standard for dinner rolls. An ideal accompaniment to a sum-mery Chowder or Bisque, the crusty exterior and soft center are perfect for scooping the last creamy bits from the bottom of the bowl. James Beard, in his book, “Beard on Bread” touts this recipe as foolproof and guaranteed to please. Chef Beard’s mother used to make large quantities of these rolls and freeze them to serve later, reheated.

Parker House RollsBeard on BreadYields 30 rolls2 packages active dry yeast1 tablespoon granulated sugar1/2 cup of warm water (100º-115º)1/2 stick (1/4 cup) butter, cut into small pieces2 cups warm milk5 to 6 all purpose flour2 teaspoons salt1/4 to 1/2 cup melted butter1 egg, beaten with 2 tablespoons light cream or milkDissolve the yeast and the sugar in warm water and allow

to proof. Melt the1/2 stick butter in warm milk, then combine with yeast mixture in a large mixing bowl. Mix 2 to 3 cups of flour with the salt and stir, 1 cup at a time, into the mixture in the bowl, beating vigorously with a wooden spoon to make a soft sponge (the dough will be soft and sticky). Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, set in a warm place, and let the dough rise until double in bulk, about an hour. Stir it down with a wooden spoon and add about 2 more cups of flour, 1 cup at a time, to make dough that can be kneaded with ease. Turn out on a floured board and knead until velvety smooth and elastic; press with the fin-gers to see if the dough is resilient. Let rest for a few minutes, then form dough into a ball. Put the ball into a buttered bowl and turn so that the surface is thoroughly covered with butter. Cover and put in a warm, draft-free place to rise again until doubled in bulk.

Punch the dough down with your fist, turn out on a lightly floured board, and let rest for several minutes, until you are able to roll it out to a thickness of 1/2 inch. Cut out rounds of dough with a round 2 or 2 1/2” cutter or with a water glass dipped in flour. Brush the center of each round with melted butter. Take a pencil and make an indentation in the center of the circle, with-out breaking the dough. Fold over one third of each round and press down to seal. Arrange the folded rolls on a buttered bak-ing sheet about 1/2 “ apart. Brush with melted butter and allow to rise until almost doubled in size. Brush with the egg wash and bake in a preheated 375 degree oven until lightly browned. Sale prices in effect thru Sunday, May 30

Memorial Day Specials


By ellen snoeyenBos and nanCy nowak, speCial to the Clipper

Duxbury residents were recently treated to an unusual glimpse of a new paradigm of development work being test-ed in the non-Western world called “Creative Capacity.” Amy Smith, a star lecturer at MIT and Kofi Taha, a graduate student, with Martha Thomp-son, a program director at the Unitarian Universalist Service Committee revealed their cre-ative work helping villagers regain their initiative, their “spirits,” after surviving for years of dependency in squal-id refugee camps in northern Uganda and experiencing the extreme pain and paralysis fol-lowing the devastating earth-quake in Haiti.

This new way of approach-ing the heart-breaking needs of people devastated by a twenty-year civil war, atrocities and natural disaster puts listening and cultivating local solutions to local problems at the center of aid. Teaching people that they can be creators of their own tools and their own solu-tions to the nagging problems of poverty, lack of sanitation and disease, is a powerful and contagious message. Accord-ing to Smith and Taha, the best, most sustainable aid in-volves unleashing the creative

capacity of the human brain in problem solving, collabora-tion, and community building.

Amy Smith is a senior lec-turer in the Department of Me-chanical Engineering at MIT specializing in engineering de-sign and appropriate technol-ogy for developing countries. She founded the D-Lab pro-gram at MIT, which introduces students to technological, so-cial, and economic problems of the Third World. She served as a Peace Corps volunteer in Botswana and was named a MacArthur Fellow in 2004. This year, she won the honor of being one of Time maga-zine’s most influential people in the world. See the 2010 Time 100 on the Time maga-zine Web site.

Smith and her colleague, Kofi Taha, led the group at the First Parish Church in an exer-cise identical to one that they use in Uganda to get people to think and problem-solve cre-atively.

Attendees broke into grou-ps of four and were given the challenge of finding a way to stack as many hymnals as possible on two sheets of pa-per. The groups attacked the

problem in many different ways, but the winning design involved rolling the two sheets of paper into tubes, finding a way to keep them taut and placing hymnals carefully on top of each other. It wasn’t easy.

Some of the ingenious inventions by local people in Uganda are: pedal-driven groundnut mashers, a pot-in-pot food chiller, a sugarcane crusher, rat traps, threshers, tool sharpeners, water collec-tion systems to name a few.

In the former war zone of Northern Uganda, Smith and Taha collaborate with the Unitarian Universalist Service Committee local staff and part-ner organizations that assist villagers take full advantage of the training and guidance from the MIT D-Lab folks.

As Amy Smith herself is an active member of the Fol-len UU church in Lexington, MA, the partnership with UUSC was a natural connec-tion to make. To find out more about the work of the human rights organization, UUSC go to: www.uusc.org.

[The following is reprinted from a series in the Clipper detailing some of the names on the World War I monument. Ed.]

Eben Briggs was something of a bon vivant in his day.

Writing about him in an October 1988 edi-tion of the Duxbury Clipper, the late Rev. Robert Canon Merry described Mr. Briggs, an army veteran of the World War I era, as the “number one bachelor in Duxbury” and in all of Plymouth County as well.

Eben was a sought after guest at the local social scene, wrote Rev. Merry, and sometimes at night during the years of Prohibition, he did some rum running with his Duxbury pals.

The Briggs name is among those etched into the World War I memorial that was dedicated in 1922 on a spot known as Boomer Square at the junction of Depot and Tremont Streets. The monument was removed from the site after be-ing badly damaged and was the subject of a restoration drive by a group of Duxbury residents.

Briggs, born Ebenezer N. Briggs in 1896, was the son of Henry Alton Briggs, originally of Lakeville, and Helen Elizabeth Cushman of Duxbury. He was born on the second floor of the Drew House on Washington Street near where his father operated a stable. He was educated in Duxbury and as a young man worked as a chauffeur. He was drafted into the army and was sworn in at Plymouth on Sept. 2, 1918, a little more than two months before the war ended.

Mr. Briggs spent his life in Duxbury and was a popular figure for decades. He served as fire chief and as a com-mander at the American Legion. He ran a successful fuel oil company at the corner of Alden Street and Railroad Avenue and in his will, he left $10,000 to establish a scholarship fund for Duxbury High School graduates.

On Memorial Day, the town’s annual parade will briefly stop in front of the newly-restored monument. This small moment will be the culmination of many months of hard work for the World War I Monument Committee.

Shea found the monument pieces in the summer of 2008. From there, Town Manager Richard MacDonald appoint-ed a committee to oversee the monument’s rehabilitation. In the spring of 2009, the group went in front of Town Meeting to ask for Community Preser-vation Act funds and later that fall, the ground was cleared and the monument’s return to glory began.

The monument lay hidden for years, all but forgotten af-ter it was struck by a vehicle. Shea was actually involved in a search for the monument 30 years earlier, when he and then Fire Chief Howie Blanchard went looking for the monu-ment –– which held the name of Blanchard’s grandfather. At the time, Shea thought the

pieces were behind the DPW yard.

“We took the information and searched in all the wrong places,” he said.

There was evidence in town records that the monu-ment was built in the 1920’s in Boomer Square, the island in front of the Town Hall plaza.

It was destroyed in 1958 in a vehicle accident, the circum-stances of which remain un-clear.

Shea believes the town always had a desire to restore

the monument, but the pieces seemed to disappear. In addi-tion to Shea’s quest, the miss-ing monument piqued the in-terest of Katherine Pillsbury, who was, at the time, the town historian.

“It had been a big point of curiosity for me,” said Pills-bury, who was later appointed

to the monument committee. “People talked about Boomer Square and at first I didn’t even know where Boomer Square was.”

Part of the mystery, which remained even after the rem-nants were found, was that no one knew what the monument was supposed to look like. Much of the monument was missing.

“It seems like every time it was moved, it left a piece be-hind,” said Shea.

Using the pieces of stone, committee member Pam Smith “reverse engineered” a drawing of what she thought the full monument may have looked like. Still, it was just a guess.

“I spent at least 15 years asking, ‘does anyone have

Restored World War I monument takes shape

A MONUMENT COMES TOGETHER: The base of the soon-to-be-restored monument was laid just before Veterans’ Day. Eventually, the pieces of the monument were delivered and installed on top of the foundation, including the 82 names of Duxbury residents who served during World War I, or “The War to End All Wars.”

FROM PIECES, A WHOLE: Joe Shea found the pieces of the monument in Mayflower Cemetery, and they were moved to the DPW yard. Later, workers from Monti Granite in Quincy came and removed the broken pieces to begin the restoration. Committee member Bryan Felty provided a 3D rendering of what the restored monument might look like.

continued from page one

This photo helped the World War I Committee learn what the original monument looked like when it was located in Boomer Square.

For years people have asked me, ‘what about those stairs to nowhere?’ Now that the memorial is there, it

seems just right.” ––Katherine Pillsbury


[The following is reprinted from a series in the Clipper detailing some of the names on the World War I monument. Ed.]

Gladys Reynolds occupies a special niche in the annals of Duxbury history. She was a nurse, and in 1917 she and 69 other Duxburyites, all men,

answered the call of President Woodrow Wilson for America to go to war in what was to be the war to end all wars.

It came to be known simply as World War I.Gladys Boudman Reynolds was 21 when her country

went to war. She was born in Duxbury on June 5, 1896, the daughter of Harvey James Reynolds and Cora Ella Delano Reynolds. Her father was originally from Fitchburg, her mother from an old Duxbury family. They lived on Surplus Street and a Reynolds was raising chickens there well into the 1950s.

Gladys was educated in Duxbury and studied nursing at St. Vincent. She worked as a nurse at what was known as the Corey Neill Hospital in Brookline and at the Massachu-setts Hospital in Boston. She enlisted in the nursing corps in Boston on Dec. 18, 1917 and served in France as an army nurse. She was part of the American Expeditionary Force commanded by General John Pershing.

Reynolds and 81 others were part of a monument that for years sat on a small plot known as Boomer Square which lies on the south side of Depot Street where Depot joins Tremont Street in front of the old Town Hall. The land is called Boomer Square because Charles Boomer was the only Duxbury veteran to die during he war, though he never saw combat.

Born and raised in Millbrook, Charles Watson Boomer was educated in Duxbury and worked as a farmer and laborer before trying to enlist in the naval reserve in March of 1917. He was rejected but eventually joined the army and was sworn in on Sept. 5, 1918 at the age of 26. Within 20 days, he would be dead at a hospital in Syracuse, N.Y., the victim of pneumonia.

Memorial a fitting tribute to town’s veteransLAYING THE GROUND WORK: After Town Meeting voters approved the use of Community Preservation Act funds to restore the monument, workers from Eagle’s Nest Landscaping leveled the ground and installed a brick walkway that would eventually lead up to the monument.

THE FINISHING TOUCHES: Workers cut out some of the bricks to replace them with the names of donors. They also cut a space in the brick walkway for the original dedication plaque, as well as a stone with the names of War Memorial Committee members. The Community Garden Club finished the project by planting flowers.

a photograph of this monu-ment?’” said Pillsbury.

After putting out the word, the committee received a pho-tograph from Presque Isle, Maine that showed a man standing in front of the monu-ment. At last, the group had something to work with.

Around the same time, the committee connected with Bryan Felty, a newcomer to town that happened to be an enormous World War I history buff –– and had extensive ex-perience with animation.

“He’s a creative genius,” said Shea. “He brought fresh eyes to the problem ... If he hadn’t come along, I’m not sure where we would be.”

“When I was about 10 years old I bought my first American gas mask at a flea market,” said Felty. “I find the romance of that period in his-tory fascinating .... That war just changed everything.”

Felty used the drawings and photographs to put togeth-er a series of 3D renderings, as well as a short video, that the committee used to sell the project to Town Meeting. With a detailed plan and funding in hand, the monument started to take shape.

A granite company, Monti Granite of Quincy, was hired to oversee the project. They picked up the pieces and sent them to the limestone quarry in Illinois that likely created the original monument.

Just like the original struc-ture in the 20s, limestone to replace missing pieces was carved there. It was then shipped across the country to Quincy for the 82 names, which the committee found in the town archives, to be en-

graved. The work is delicate and specialized.

“They have typefaces you’ve never even heard of,” said Shea, pointing out the let-tering used on the memorial is unique. “We’re calling it Dux-bury Serif.”

In addition to the CPA money, another group raised funds by selling engraved bricks that were later installed in the brick walkway around the monument.

“We operated on the the-ory that less is more,” said Shea. “We want this to be an open experience that speaks for itself.”

The bricks and the concrete base of the monument (the water-absorbing limestone has to be kept off the ground) was installed on Veterans’ Day, and the rest of the monument was put together earlier this spring.

If the location of the monument itself, in front of old town hall at the top of the “stairs to nowhere,” seems

fitting –– that’s because it’s likely where it was meant to be all along. Committee mem-ber Terry Vose recently dis-covered a drawing of the lay-out of the Town Hall complex that shows the three buildings –– First Parish Church and the two town halls –– and in front of everything is the World War I monument.

The landscaping around the monument was just recent-ly finished and what was for-merly known as the “stairs to nowhere” in front of Old Town Hall is now home to a fitting remembrance for the town’s residents who served in the War to End All Wars, as Pills-bury described it. (The names are of Duxbury residents who served in the war, not neces-sarily those who were killed.)

She is pleased with the work of the entire commit-tee, saying that every time the group met a challenge, some-one took the reins and over-came it. A veteran himself, Shea said the monument is part of Duxbury’s tradition of honoring service.

“The entire committee feels an obligation to military personnel who rise to the oc-casion. It’s very important to a lot of people,” he said.

“I’m extremely pleased with it,” Pillsbury added. “I think it fits in to the original idea of putting the monument there. For years people have asked me, ‘what about those stairs to nowhere?’ ... now that the memorial is there, it seems just right.”

On May 8, we were blessed to attend the field dedication of

Tarkiln Little League Field 2 in the name of Ralph L. Sarro. On behalf of our family we would like to thank the many people who made this a very special day; the Selectmen, current Lit-tle League commissioner Tom Guilfoile and Tom Sinnott Jr., whose kind words brought us back to 35 years ago.

Despite the rain, the spirit of the day was not lost. There were stories, old friends, and many smiles. Ralph Sarro was a friend, mentor, coach and educator and the field was his chalkboard. His impact on the young people of Duxbury was far reaching. Looking down upon us, Ralph was touched by this tribute but most important, he was proud of the results and all the good men (and women) he helped, both on and off the field.

To Mr. Paul Klein, we are touched and eternally grate-ful. The time and energy you applied in making this day possible illustrates the type of character and friendship that is irreplaceable. It inspires us all to be better men and women. Standing beside you on that day was Ralph, humbled and thrilled to have you as a friend.

The Tom Sinnott Baseball Complex, which includes a second field dedicated to dear friend Jerry Dewing, is a spec-tacular venue for young boys and girls. It provides them an opportunity to compete, learn, grow and have fun through the game of baseball. It’s nice to know the memories we shared as young people are still created every week on these fields.

If you were not able to be

there May 8, we ask that you remember all our coaches and teachers and say a silent thank you. Go to a game and see the smiles on the faces of the young boys and girls who play on these fields. Afterward, share in the old tradition of a chocolate dipped cone at Dairy Queen (or Far Fars) and quite simply, play ball!

Monument is a town jewel

On Memorial Day, the parade will pause momentarily at the newly-restored World War I monument in front of old Town Hall.

It will only be a momentary reflection, but it is a meaningful gesture that represents two years work of work for the War Memorial Committee –– and decades of searching for a monument that has been shattered and lost.

Monday will be the end of a journey for the members of the

committee, who have done fantastic work finding

and restoring the monument. But it will

also mean something for the families of the 80-odd men and women whose names are carved into the face of the limestone monument. Even a quick perusal of the limestone facade reveals many names that are still familiar in town.

Duxbury is a town that honors its

history, and specifically its veterans. Memorial Day is always a poignant ceremony, ending in front of the veterans’ memorial in Mayflower Cemetery. With the completion of the World War I monument, the town comes full circle and now has some manner of memorial to the veterans of all this country’s major wars.

On Monday, as residents pause to recognize this stunning new monument, they might also thank the members of the World War I Monument Committee, whose names are carved in stone inside the brick walkway, now a permanent part of the monument. These folks have done their community proud.

As long as we’re handing out kudos, we also want to congratulate the School Committee and the Superintendent Search Committee for their

stellar work in selecting the next superintendent of schools for Duxbury (pending contract negotiations, of course). All three final candidates are fine educators, and we’re sure any one of them would have done a great job leading the Duxbury Schools. Dr. Tantillo seems like a great choice –– a dynamic figure with a proven record of success who can bring new energy to the district.

We specifically commend the School Committee for conducting such a public search process –– the three interviews and final deliberation were all out in the open, and all committee members, veterans as well as the two newest members, asked thoughtful questions. It’s interesting to note that the committee seemed, for the most part, to be in agreement as to who to choose for the superintendent. Let’s hope the board can seize upon this common ground to move the district forward.

–– J. Graeber

The recent article written by Bob Neal should be commend-

ed for its honesty and insight into many difficult yet realis-tic issues that face our society. I am unsure of how Mr. Neal found the strength to write such informative and honest words, but we should all be grateful for his example of integrity. The awareness and education he promotes in regards to the

topics of rape, mental illness (including the problems with mental health care) and teenage drug and alcohol use are of the utmost importance for those of us who are raising children and teens in this town.

I never had the honor to meet Jamie Neal but I have heard she was a wonderful per-son. With parents like Bob Neal and his wife, I now understand why she was so special. Thank

you, Mr. Neal, for your cour-age and compassion. I am sure that your daughter would have been amazed by your ability to rise above your pain in order to reach out and help others. In es-sence, I am proud that there are individuals like yourself living in Duxbury.

Chandler says thanks —————————

Murphy had a positive impact ——————

The Chandler Ele-mentary School PTA would like to thank

the Duxbury community for the many generous contribu-tions and volunteer assistance we received toward this year’s Teacher and Staff Apprecia-tion Week, May 3-6. Each year we celebrate the staff at Chandler for their continued commitment to educating chil-dren. In recognizing our staff, we hosted a successful week

of events highlighting the ef-forts of teachers, librarians, teacher’s aides, cafeteria staff, bus drivers, secretarial and office support staff, adminis-trators and maintenance staff alike. This celebration includ-ed daily theme based meals as well as a raffle of goods and services generously donated by local artisans, businesses, as well as families in our com-munity.

The teachers and staff

were very touched by the gen-erosity of the community. On behalf of the Staff Apprecia-tion Committee, we sincerely thank all of the vendors and parent volunteers whose time and effort made this event pos-sible and such a success!

[The following is a note sent to the David Murphy fam-ily by a former student-athlete coached by Murphy. – Ed.]

I regret that a prior com-mitment prevents my attending [the recent]

plaque dedication ceremony honoring Coach Murphy. I, like so many others, have fond

recollections of him and am grateful for the positive influ-ence he made on my youth.

It is fitting that younger and future generations may come to understand the significance of his contributions, not only to our beloved baseball and hockey teams, but for having helped shape the development of so many Duxbury citizens.

I believe those whose ef-forts improve society deserve special recognition. May the plaque reflect great credit on Coach Murphy in that regard, and also inspire all who view it to follow his lead by dedicat-ing themselves to life’s higher callings.

The new cell tower near Franklin Street that many of us tried

so hard to fight became a real-ity this spring. As many things in life that we dislike, the con-struction of this tower had a surprise silver lining. Duxbury residents now have a real treat as they head south on Route 3, for on top of the tower, os-preys have constructed a nest. According to the South Shore Mass. Audubon folks, they are sitting on eggs. I’ve spoken with the State Fish and Wildlife people, Massachusetts Audu-bon, and our own conservation officer Joe Grady (who notified the cell tower company of their presence.) The law is clear; these birds, while sitting on a nest, incubating eggs and rais-ing chicks, are protected from any interference. Although this may pose a headache for the cell tower people (Industrial Communications), at least the headache is temporary, since the nesting season will pass, the young birds will fledge and

leave the nest. I understand that cell tower people deal with this sort of thing frequently, and that many companies choose to build an alternative nesting platform nearby, in order to reduce the chances of a repeat nesting event next year. I hope that Industrial Communica-tions will be good neighbors to the osprey and to the many townspeople who have enjoyed the presence of these majestic

creatures building their nest. I am sure that they will be law abiding and leave the active nest alone, and I hope that they will consider the nest platform idea.

Dennis Balboni, a member of Arlington Birds, was kind enough to take this great picture of the ospreys and their nest.

As a middle school parent, I am writ-ing in response

to today’s threat of danger at DMS and the events following. I am so aggravated with who-ever instigated this threat to our children and families. What a nightmare for all of us ... worry-ing about our kids but not being able to get to the campus; par-ents who work and the children whose keys, phone, etc were in lockdown with their backpacks; and most importantly, the “cry-ing wolf” attitude that my son has now developed due to the repeated need for evacuations and lockdowns in our town. His words? “I think it was scary

initially, but then you get used to it.” This makes me so angry. If the coward who pulled this is ever caught, I pray that he/she is punished to the full extent of the law, and his/her family ex-press their disappointment and anger as well. If this came from someone in my family, you can bet consequences would be paid. And lastly, I thank the DMS staff and administration, and the Police Department, for continuing to keep our children safe and secure to the best of their abilities. This is getting ridiculously scary.

OK, the beer cart did not break the camel’s back so

now we will try the bond. I do not know Doug Johnson, nev-er met him. But I am getting a bit tired of seeing our tax dollars blowing in the wind over this North Hill fiasco. Troy is loving it. The b i l l a b l e hours just on this case alone must be stagger-ing, hey Bob. The town man-ager, who has his labor counsel, his personnel director and finance director doing his complete job can now devote all his time getting our town involved in these lawsuits. It seems the North Hill case has become a sort of game for our town of-ficials. Well, it should not be a

game at our expense. This is a sad waste of our money. This case is a joke. It begins with bid rigging, then a bogus RFP award, a legit lawsuit by John-son and a court order from a

judge allowing Johnson Golf to run the North

Hill Golf Course un-til the case is com-

p l e t e d . Now the c l o w n s , yes, the c l o w n s that have b e e n t h r o w -ing these beer cart and bond b o m b s

(our town officials) are doing so just to stir the pot. These “bombs” will not hold water in a court of law. Troy knows this. Shame on you, Bob. End this fiasco now.

May 26, 1960: A ground-breaking ceremony was held marking the beginning of a 4.2 mile extension of the Southeast Expressway through Hingham, Rockland and Norwell and to Route 3 in Hanover. Completion of the link was scheduled to be in June 1961, leaving an 11-mile gap (including con-necting with the existing Kingston-Duxbury bypass of Route 3) to be finished connecting Boston to Cape Cod.

DHS graduate and current University of Rochester student Julianna Hopkins presented the Singer Family Prize for Excellence in Secondary School Teaching to DHS’s Chris Aukerman at her graduation from the university on May 16. As the university’s guests, the Aukermans were housed in a nearby hotel and hon-ored again at a president’s dinner for all award recipients. Each senior was encouraged to write an essay to nominate a special teacher for the award. Aukerman was one of four teachers to receive this award. Julianna graduated with honors and a B.S. degree in physics and astronomy.

In addition to devel-oping a life-long love of learning, Chan-

dler School students are also receiving lessons in commu-nity service.

Before school recently, first graders gathered in the Chandler School cafeteria to help brighten the lives of troops serving overseas. All students at Chandler School contributed items for the care packages. Also, third graders at Alden School in Mrs. Kris-sy Chase’s class contributed to the donations. The care pack-ages were sent to Mrs. Chase’s brother, who is serving in Af-ghanistan.

About 60 children and 20 parents gathered in the cafete-ria to participate in the event. Children decorated cards with American flags and messages of hope.

Parent volunteers made quick work of boxing up the care packages with a smooth-operating assembly line. In to-tal, 23 boxes filled with good-ies and toiletries, cards and

decorations were collected for the troops.

Second grade teacher and co-chairwoman of the Help-ing Hands committee, Pam Sechoka, started the morn-ing off by reading a patriotic story and leading the children in singing patriotic songs and the Chandler School song. Guest speaker, Col. Charles Perenick, spoke with the chil-

dren about how meaningful care packages and cards are to soldiers serving overseas. Col. Perenick served overseas in Iraq and loved receiving pack-ages from school children.

To brighten the day of oth-ers closer to home, the students also carefully decorated two beautiful “Welcome Spring” murals for the Senior Center.

Col. Charles Perenick was the guest speaker as Chandler School students prepared care packages and letters for troops abroad.

“The ants go marching one by one, Hurrah! Hurrah!”

Nothing brings back fond memories like crazy camp songs. Set to standard tunes, the words break free from stodgy original lyrics and give everyone a chance to live out loony feelings and freedom from drudgery.

“Glory, glory, Halleluiah! Teacher hit me with a ruler! So I knocked her

on the bean with a rotten tangerine, and there ain’t no school no more!”

Sung to the tune of the Battle Hymn of the Republic, grammar and propriety give way to naughty

exuberance and shared survival of another school year finished. No doubt teachers have similar sentiments as summer approaches, but their songs are cloaked in secrecy.

Children never stop wanting to learn, but they crave opportunities to learn something different, something useful, something fun, something both easy and challenging. Summer camp is the perfect setting, where the only failure possible is not showing up, and

The Duxbury boys’ base-ball team is finally getting people’s attention, as they have broken into the Boston Globe Top 20 after weeks of appearing on its missing per-sons list.

Sporting a 12-2 record after its win over Whitman-Hanson two weeks ago, the Dragons moved up to No. 9 in the poll. With three more wins (15-2) last week that made it 11 straight victories, making Coach Barney Earle’s team the highest ranking of any baseball team in the school’s history.

While most observers ex-pected Duxbury to have excel-lent pitching with senior Jeff Blout leading the way, it’s the offense that has stunned oppo-nents with an average of over eight runs per game.

“It’s different kids in dif-ferent ways every time out,” said Coach Barney Earle. “And that’s what you are look-ing for. We’re not counting on the same guys every time out.”

If the season-opening 10-6 win over Plymouth North was any indication of how good the Dragons would be, then Friday night’s grind-it-out win

over the Eagles in the rematch establishes them as the best Division II team on the South Shore.

With sophomore Sam Ja-cobson on the mound, things got of to a rough start when PN catcher Matt Walsh took a high outside fastball and sent it over the right field fence at Murphy Field for a 1-0 lead.

The right-hander settled down and retired the next five batters, bringing his team-mates to the plate in the bot-tom of the second when the offense erupted.

Consecutive singles by seniors Greg O’Neal, Steve Blout and Connor Inglis load-ed the bases for Jeff Blout, who promptly singled in the tying run. Plymouth North pitcher Ryan Hess plunked

senior Tom Kazanowski with the next pitch and the Dragons went ahead 2-1.

Eagles’ coach Wayne Follett had seen enough and brought in Alex Rozak, who was greeted with a two-run single by junior catcher Joe Coyne. Senior co-captain Pat McWilliams followed with an RBI single and the Dragons had an impressive 5-1 lead.

There is a reason Plymouth North has been the king of the South Shore the past few sea-sons and they showed it in the top of the third, rallying for six runs with a two-run single by Ed Raeke and a two-run home run off the bat of Dan Fratus for a 7-5 lead

Duxbury got a run back in the bottom of the inning when Steve Blout walked, moved to

third on a Kazanowski single, and came home on another Coyne RBI.

Jacobson was having a tough night, as he continued to battle through the Eagle batting order that scored two more runs in the top of the fourth to grab a 9-6 lead.

Once again the offense came to his rescue, as McWil-liams reached on an error and McNeal crushed a ball that the centerfielder couldn’t handle as he crashed into the fence, putting runners at second and third with one out.

A passed ball to Steve Blout (before he walked,) and an RBI single by Inglis cut the lead to 9-8 before Jeff Blout drove home the go-ahead runs with a triple to make it 10-9 in

to paraphrase Henry James, the only requirement for a good story or worthwhile activity is that it be interesting.

Duxbury’s Interfaith Council wants to send about 40 Duxbury kids to summer camp, where they can learn rude songs, share the liberties of summer, and make their own candy dishes (ash trays are rare today). The days of Huckleberry Finn summers of self-directed recreation are long passed, and even Huck developed a few rough edges when left to his own devices. His pipe, for example.

Kids need structure to make the most of summer liberty, but camp is not cheap. The council’s program assists families in need with a $500 campership for each child. It doesn’t cover the whole cost of camp, but it puts the experience within reach. In addition, each child receives a backpack and school supplies for next fall, a program started by then 10-year-old Jared DiVasta a couple of years ago. You can read more nuts, bolts, and numbers in your May 19 Clipper, or check it out on line at eduxbury.com, the Clipper’s Web site. You’ll have to scroll down to Justin Graeber’s story, “The Helping Season for Interfaith Council.”

I was touched by the fact that donations to the program have increased, despite our current economic woes. Touched, but not surprised. Duxbury folks often “get it” about our need to bring others along in our good fortune, and we also remember the times when we needed help, and the help was there. For all its storybook beauty, old Duxbury souls know, the town is not a harbor only for the privileged. It can also be the source of a heartfelt “leg up” when our own are in need.

You could think of a donation to the Council (P.O. Box 1161, Duxbury, MA, 02331) as a kind of leveraged investment: short money partially matched by the recipient, which lifts the community for all of us. I’d rather think of it as a gift of goofiness, safety, and child-sized camaraderie that will lift the giver as much as it lifts the receiver.

Or you can think of the moment the gift is delivered, when a burdened single parent (as many recipients are) has the chance to call a youngster or two over.

“Tiffany!” the mother might say (I’ve made up the names). “Kevin! Hildegarde! Guess what?”

In a home where small hopes are made to stretch beyond their natural limits, the children scamper to hear the good news. Pizza tonight? A trip to the Mall? Mamma looks happy, and that’s always good news.

“Cookies?” the youngest offers, hoping against hope.“No!” Mamma laughs, her tears cloaked in secrecy and joy.

“You’re all going to camp this summer!”To the tune of “The Old Gray Mare,” she teaches them their

first rude song. “Great green gobs of greasy, grimy, gopher…” she begins. “And I forgot my spoon!

And I forgot my spooncontinued from page one

Duxbury’s favor. Blout would eventually score to give the Dragons an 11-9 lead after four innings.

Jacobson escaped un-scathed in the fifth after a lead-off single, and senior captain Matt Savard led off the bottom of the fifth with a triple before scoring on an error.

McWilliams came on in relief in the top of the six and put the Eagles down one-two-three.

Duxbury showed it can manufacture runs too in the top of the sixth, as Jeff Blout walked, moved to second on a sacrifice by Kazanowski, advanced to third on an in-field out, and scored on a Pat Sweeney pinch-hit single to make it 13-9.

McWilliams did his Papel-bon imitation once again, as he retired three straight batters in the seventh to get the save

and the win for Jacobson.“These kids are really

playing together and we’re only dressing 13 players. We are down in numbers, but ev-eryone is contributing,” said Earle. “They are doing what they are supposed to do and they love doing it. You can’t ask for anything more.”

It’s a big week for the Dragons, who took on Marsh-field Monday afternoon and Hingham Tuesday in a crucial Patriot League match-up. The regular season ends at home on Thursday afternoon with Scituate.

The Duxbury boys’ la-crosse team was so confident that they would beat Marsh-field for the Green Cup; they left it home.

Building a 3-0 first quar-ter lead that turned into a 3-0 halftime advantage, the Drag-ons survived a third quarter comeback by the Rams and turned it on in the fourth quar-ter for a 9-3 win.

It took senior John Ric-ciardi less than a minute to put the Dragons on the score-

board and a little longer for Bryan Barry to make it 2-0. Will Siefert’s goal at the buzz-er ended the first quarter.

It was a somewhat sloppy opening 12 minutes, as both sides turned the ball over re-peatedly. Sometimes it was bad passing, while on other occasions the concentration wasn’t there, as Marshfield was intent on inflicting its usual bodily harm.

The second quarter was scoreless, giving the Rams a dose of confidence that they were still in the contest.

Ricky Armstrong got the Dragons on the board less than three minutes after the third-quarter face-off for a 4-0 lead.

Marshfield finally got one through Mickey Zaverucha at the 5:20 mark of the third quarter and dented him one more time four minutes later

to cut the deficit to 4-2 with 1:41 left in the quarter.

It was now time for Dux-bury to turn on the switch and they wasted little time, as Armstrong scored eight sec-onds into the fourth quarter to get the offense rolling.

Subsequent goals by Nick Woodgate, Barry, Sam Sweet, and Paul Hellar closed out the scoring at 9-3 to retain pos-session of the Green Cup.

Two days later Hingham came to town and Hingham coach and Duxbury native John Todd had visions of an upset.

It sure looked promis-ing for the Harbormen when they held Duxbury scoreless through the first nine min-utes, only to see Ricciardi and Sweet score in the final three minutes for a 2-0 lead. How-

ever, it didn’t end there, as sophomore Seamus Connelly made it 3-0 at the buzzer as he beat goalie Derek McInnis after taking a hit that sent him to the ground.

The second quarter started with Max Randle making it 4-0, as the defenseman took some time off from blanketing Hingham star John Fitzger-ald to show off his offensive skills.

The Harbormen finally got on the board 36 seconds later, as Tucker Bradley beat Zaverucha and Jake Quinn did likewise at the 7:27 make to make the game interesting.

The Dragons would ex-tend the lead on a nice solo effort by Chris Williams and made it 6-2 before the half ended, when Armstrong made a strong rush up field before feeding Sweet who beat McIn-nis with 1:56 left in the half.

Goals by Hellar, Sweet, and Barry made it 9-4 after three periods, giving Duxbury some breathing room.

However, the Harbormen started to creep back slowly, with Chris Benoit getting an unassisted goal at the eight-minute mark and Hingham scoring again on a man-up situation with 6:20 to go in the game to make it 9-6.

A minute later things real-ly got interesting, as Zaveru-cha made a great save, only to see the rebound bounce across the goal line to put Hingham within two with plenty of time left on the clock.

Ricciardi put an end to any hopes for a Hingham up-set when he cut through the crease and deflected a shot that McInnis had lined up, only to watch it change di-rection at the last second and

settle behind the Harbormen’s goaltender for the final score of the game in the 10-7 shoo-tout.

Despite Hingham’s come-back bid, Coach Chris Sweet had good things to say about his team’s effort as the play-offs near.

“Our defense is playing great and our offense is taking good, patient possessions that helps the defence recover,” said Sweet. “If we are turn-ing the ball over quickly on offense that wears down the defense. We’re being very ef-ficient on offense and playing great team defense.”

The Dragons will end their regular season schedule on Thursday night at 7 p.m. when they travel to Tufts Uni-versity in Medford to take on Bishop Guertin of New Hampshire.

It’s been an up and down year for Coach Sue Paull’s girls’ lacrosse team. Neverthe-less, it picked a good time to have one of its ups last Thurs-day afternoon when the team traveled to Hingham to take on the Harborwomen for the Pa-triot League title.

Having been beaten badly (18-8) by Norwell two days earlier, the Lady Dragons needed to put the loss behind them quickly if they wanted to win on Hingham’s home field before a large Hingham Youth Day crowd.

Apparently they acted like the loss never happened, as they came out and buried five goals in the first eight minutes before a stunned Hingham crowd.

The Lady Dragons then went to sleep, as Hingham ral-lied with four goals to get back in the game by halftime trail-ing by one at 5-4.

The hosts turned the tables on Duxbury, as the second half started, scoring a pair of goals

in the first few minutes for a 6-5 lead.

The back and forth action would continue the rest of the day, as the Lady Dragons came to life with a trio of scores to surge ahead, 8-6, only to see Hingham tie the game at 11-11.

That would be the final scoring for the Harborwomen, as Duxbury controlled the ball and scored twice in the final five minutes, with Siobhan McCarthy scoring the winning goal and Grace Nissi getting the insurance tally.

It was Nissi’s third goal of the game, as she combined with Caitlin Burke and Keri Gould to score three goals each while helping the team win its

fifth consecutive league cham-pionship.

The Lady Dragon softball team, coming off its best week of the season, suffered a minor letdown when they absorbed a 3-1 loss to North Quincy early last week.

Duxbury jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the first inning when Grace Kelso singled and stole second base, setting up an RBI single by senior Laura Walter.

The Red Raiders would tie the game at 1-1 on a Duxbury error in the fourth.

Duxbury had a golden scoring opportunity in the fifth after hits by Madi Duddy and Alex Leaverton with no outs, but neither runner was able to cross the plate.

NQ scored two runs in the sixth after another costly Duxbury error, but the Lady Dragons couldn’t recover and squandered another excellent pitching performance by Wal-

ter, who struck out seven of the first nine batters she faced.

Hingham came to town on Wednesday, giving the Lady Dragons another chance to qualify for the tournament. Duxbury bats remained quiet again, garnering only four hits on the day. However, Walter saw to it that she contributed to her own cause in the third inning.

Duxbury opened the third inning with Kelso singling and Christina Curley drawing a walk, setting up a two-run single by Walter.

Duxbury would send sev-en batters to the plate in the fourth inning, but managed to score just one run while leav-

ing the bases loaded. The three runs were just

enough, as Walter continued to excel on the mound, shutting down the Harborwomen in a 2-hit/11-strikeout performance in a 3-1 victory that puts Dux-bury in the playoffs.

It was on to Plymouth North on Friday to take on the Eagles and hopefully find their hitting shoes: they did not dis-appoint.

In the second inning Kerry Turok knocked in Caroline McSherry with a smash up the middle and Duxbury main-tained a 1-0 lead through three innings.

The visitors erupted in the fourth after consecutive hits by

Madi Duddy, Turok, and Erin Gallagher opened the inning.

Caroline McSherry had a big day with three hits, while Duddy and Turok added two hits each.

Walter spun her fourth shutout with 12 strikeouts, mesmerizing the Plymouth batters with her fastball and riser. She also got defensive help behind her, with freshman second baseman Erin Gallagh-er making some great defen-sive plays in the 6-0 win.

The girls will end their regular season schedule on Thursday when they entertain Scituate in Patriot League ac-tion.

A team always likes to be on a winning streak as it enters postseason play, but last week does not bode well for the DHS girls’ tennis team.

A 3-2 loss to North Quincy and a 5-0 shutout to Hingham

has the Lady Dragons facing a two-game losing streak before facing the iron of its schedule in the concluding week of the regular season.

Duxbury’s No. 1singles player, Michaela Dowd, had a tough time with Elizabeth Sullivan, losing 2-6,1-6, while Cory Tucker at No. 2 singles took Sara Sullivan a bit fur-ther before dropping sets of 3-6/2-6.

Third singles saw Casey Reinhart knock off Julie Ross, 6-3/7-5.

Erin Nelson and Julia Al-len looked like they were all

set when they won the first set against Tiffany Leung and Lindsey MacPherson, 7-5, but they allowed the Red Raider duo to creep back in, losing a 6-6 tiebreaker, 3-7, to even the match at a set apiece. North Quincy rode its momentum to a 3-6 third-set win

Therese Kozmiski and Nicole Hanrahan had much better luck at No. 2 doubles where they beat Mallory De-Voe and Julie Doyle, 6-3, 6-6 (TB 7/2)

It was a tough loss for Dux-bury, who faces Notre Dame on Wednesday afternoon in

Hingham at 4 p.m. Earlier this week Duxbury

traveled to Marshfield and Sci-tuate to conclude their regular season.

“Although we lost to North Quincy, the tennis was good,” said Coach Jutta Rossana. “Casey (No. 3) did a great job holding on to her win and sec-ond and doubles did a good job in their tiebreaker.”

In the loss to Hingham, Al-len and Nelson had the team’s best showing at No. 1 doubles, as they dropped a 3-6/4-6 deci-sion to the Lund sisters (Madi and Nikki).

Reinhart was competitive in her 2-6/4-6 loss to Kristen Ferrucci at No. 3 singles, while it was a tough afternoon for the

rest of the squad, as Dowd was shutout by Emma Alderman, 6-0/6-0, Tucker took it on the chin against Roberta Berg-stein, 0-6/3-6, and the No. 2 doubles tandem of Kozmiski and Hanrahan found the go-ing rough in their 6-0/6-1 loss to Holly Johnson and Julia Krumhalz.

“It was another loss to Hingham, but I have to say the girls played awesome ten-nis,” said Rossano. “Our first doubles team of Julia and Erin played an aggressive, fast paced match. It was great tennis to watch. Although the scores don’t reflect the qual-ity of the tennis, it really was good tennis and the girls were pleased.”

CONCeNTRaTION: Cory Tucker gets ready for a forehand against Hingham.


The Lady Dragon golf team took first place at the recent All-League meet at the Falmouth Country Club, ex-tending their championship string to three in a row.

Proving they are also good winners, the girls also captured their third straight Sportsmanship Award.

Junior Briana Connolly finished third with a round of 44, while Kendall Johnson finished in eighth place as she toured the nine holes with a 52.

Kara Falcone, an All-League selection along with Connolly, fired a 56 for a 10th-place finish, and Kate Sullivan was one spot behind after shooting a round of 58.

In their final match of the regular season the girls de-feated Barnstable, 4-2 to fin-ish at 9-1 in league play and 9-2 overall.

Connolly shot an out-standing round of 39 with a pair of birdies in her 4 and 3 win over Ana Carter, while playing mate Falcone was a 5 and 4 winner over Alex Wil-liams.

Other winners for Dux-bury included Kendall John-son with a 1-up win over Em-ily Manning, and Allie Martin who was a 3-up winner over Barnstable’s Molly Marcotte.

The girls will compete for the MIAA State Team Cham-pionship on June 1 at the Riv-er Bend Country Club.
