The town has been given the green light to rebid the North Hill Golf Course man-agement contract by the state Inspector General’s office and the Middlesex Superior Court, but one Duxbury selectmen believes this is a bad idea.

On Monday, Selectmen Chairman Shawn Dahlen and Selectman Betsy Sullivan vot-ed in favor of authorizing the

town to solicit bids for man-aging the municipal nine-hole golf course on Merry Ave. The bidding document was issued on Friday.

Selectman Christopher Donato voted against the mo-tion for authorization, saying he did not believe that rebid-ding the North Hill contract would help the current legal situation there.

Fire hydrants buried un-der mountains of snow are a perennial problem for munici-pal Fire Departments –– even though most towns have or-dinances requiring residents to dig them out. Deputy Fire Chief Christopher West said that with the recent snow, Wa-ter Department crews have been digging out hydrants so they’ll be accessible in an emergency.

Recently, however, Dux-bury is encountering a dif-

ferent problem. Some hom-eowners are building fences or other structures so close to the hydrants that fire crews can’t access the bolts with a wrench, and therefore can’t turn the water on to fight fires.

“It seems to be common sense, but we’ve run into a half-dozen or so cases,” West said.

Fire Chief Kevin Nord sent out letters to homeown-ers who have created such a situation, but says he hasn’t

Clipper wins NENPA awardsThe Duxbury Clipper has

received two New England Newspaper and Press Associa-tion Better Newspaper Contest awards. Reporter Susanna Sheehan and Editor Justin Graeber won in the category of government reporting for their work on the drama surrounding the exit of former police chief Mark DeLuca. Graeber won the Right-to-Know award, a first amendment award, for his reporting on, and involvement in exposing, open meeting law violations on the School Com-mittee.

Being nominated means the Clipper has won either first, second or third place in these cate-gories. The final results will be revealed during the association’s annual convention later this month.


All the open positions in the upcoming town elections have candidates, but if the election were held tomorrow most candidates would win without a fight.

Ted Flynn is currently the only candidate for Betsy Sulli-van’s seat on the Board of Se-lectmen (Sullivan announced last year that she would not seek re-election). Anne Ward and Maureen Connolly are also running unopposed for their two seats on the School Committee.

There are two candidates seeking a five-year term on the Planning Board, however, Paul McCormack and Jennifer Tur-cotte. Brian Glennon, who was appointed earlier this year to that board to fill the unexpired term of Harold Moody, is seek-ing the remainder of Moody’s

term, two years.

T h e r e will also be a choice for voters at the ballot box when it comes to li-

brary trustee. Flynn stepped down from his seat on the li-brary board of trustees to run for selectman, and Lamont Healy is running to fill the unexpired term of two years. Donna Ryan, Brooke Mc-Donough and Elizabeth “Sun-ny” Steadman are running for two three-year slots.

Last week, Alden Ringquist took out papers to run for a five-year term on the Housing Authority. This was the last position that was wide-open (a previous report erroneously listed two seats open on the authority).

Other unopposed candi-dates: Friend Weiler, Sr., is

running to keep his position as town moderator, a year-to-year office, and June Albritton has taken out papers to run for a three-year term on the Board of Assessors.

All candidates have re-turned papers except for Al-britton, Steadman, Turcotte and Ringquist.ELECTIoN 2011

Duxbury Police arrested a suspect last week following several thefts from a local ap-pliance dealer.

Over the last few weeks the department, had been con-tacted several times by South Shore Cabinet on Tremont Street regarding thefts of property from behind their store, according to a press

release from Chief Matthew Clancy. On Tuesday night at approximately 7:30 p.m., De-tective Dennis McKenney was conducting surveillance near the store when he saw a black pickup truck drive behind the building. The driver of the truck then attempted to load a washing machine into the back of the truck. Detective McKenney and several patrol officers confronted the man

and he was placed under ar-rest. During the arrest a small quantity of drugs were discov-ered.

David Tewksbury, age 40, of Kingston, was arraigned this morning in Plymouth Dis-trict Court on charges of lar-ceny over $250, trespassing, and possession of class A and B substances.

He was a big man, with an even big-ger heart.

Joseph Shea died of a heart attack on Monday, Jan. 31. In addition to his family, he leaves behind a legacy of service to his country and the town that he loved.

“It’s a big loss for the town,” said Town Manager Richard MacDonald. “I con-

sider Joe a friend first, a caring Dux-bury volun-teer.”

S h e a served on many Dux-bury commit-tees, such as

the crematory building com-mittee. He was also the town’s sealer of weights and measures for many years. He had a pas-sion for the town’s cemeteries. [See an article Shea submitted to the Clipper shortly before his death on page 7.]

It was on a walk through one of the town’s cemeteries where Shea found the bro-ken pieces of the World War I monument. Reconstructing the monument because a treasured cause for Shea, and he saw it completed last year.

“He was my supporter when I presented the group my ideas,” said Bryan Felty, who presented 3D renderings to the committee rebuilding the monument.

“He’s the one that really embraced it ... When I present-ed, you could see a light go on in his head.”

Shea was the face of the monument project. With its completion, Duxbury now has some kind of memorial to veterans of all the country’s major wars. (Shea was a Navy pilot.)

“I admired his passion, and the dedication that he had toward preserving Duxbury veterans,” Felty said. “That was just outstanding, you don’t meet many people that have such a dedicated heart to a cause like he did.”

Other members of the World War I group said they were devastated to learn of Shea’s death.

“Joe was a truly dedicated and enormous part of our lives and our town,” said Judi Vose, who served on the committee along with her husband Terry. “He had a wonderful nature that touched all of us who knew him and we felt his de-votion to everything he cared about in this town. Our town will not be the same – ever.”

Emmett Sheehan, who worked with Shea on the com-mittee building a new crema-

tory at Mayflower Cemetery, was also impressed with his dedication to the monument project and his knowledge of the town’s cemeteries.

“Joe loved the town,” Sheehan said. “He knew things that nobody knew, he poked through records.”

On the crematory project, Shea impressed his fellow committee members with his military-like attention to de-tails, collecting information on the retorts from all across the country and then sharing it with the group.

“He spoke to all three com-panies and knew all the techni-cal jargon,” Sheehan said. “He was a very technical guy.”

However, Shea’s impact on the people he worked with went far beyond the minute details of a project.

Sheehan said that Shea would often stop by his of-fice to bring him information on the crematory, but the con-versation would soon turn to other things.

“We’d hang out for an hour and a half just chatting about life,” Sheehan said.

Shea was also a major pres-ence at First Parish Church. Rev. Catherine Cullen said that he brought his talents for historical research as well as woodworking to First Parish.

“You walk down the aisle and there’s something Joe ei-ther made or fixed,” she said.

Shea had been a member of the congregation for over 40 years, and Cullen said he was a great help when she took over.

“I used to call him ‘Father Joe,’ he just knew everybody in the church,” she said. “He was an important part of my ministry.”

She said she would meet with Shea, who at one time or another held nearly every lead-ership position in the church, weekly.

Shea’s wife, Jacqueline, passed away only a few weeks before his death after a long battle with cancer. He was de-voted to his wife during her long illness.

“Part of his full time job was driving her up to the hos-

pital every day for treatment,” Sheehan said.

Always a straight shooter, Shea didn’t hesitate even dur-ing a difficult time to dole out advice.

“He told me, ‘You know Emmett, you’re not too old a guy that you shouldn’t enjoy your family and your life ... take time to smell the roses.’” Sheehan said.

Cullen said the she sent Shea a note after his wife’s passing.

“I told him, ‘The mission is now complete commander, it’s time to focus on taking care of yourself,’” she said. “I’m sorry he didn’t get the chance to do that.”

Felty also felt that the loss of his wife had a major effect on Shea.

“I really think he died of a broken heart,” he said.

Whether it was impacting the town through his countless volunteer projects, or impact-ing the lives of the people he worked with his easy-going

manner and deep, booming laugh, Shea leaves a legacy in the town that he loved so much.

“Many people will have to step into his shadow in or-der to try to help his light to keep shining for us all while remembering this amazing man,” Vose said.

A memorial service for Shea will be held on Wednes-day, Feb. 9, at 2 p.m. at First Parish Church on Tremont Street, followed by an Alli-ance Hosted Collation to be held in the Harvey Assembly Hall from 3-5 p.m.

Shea reads during the dedication of the base of the World War I mon-ument in 2009. Restoring the monument became a passionate cause of Shea’s after he discovered the shattered pieces, once thought lost, during a walk through the cemetery.


By Joe Shea, SpeCial to the Clipper

[Joseph Shea, who died earlier this week, long held a passion for Duxbury’s his-tory, especially its cemeter-ies. He submitted this article on a curious gravestone in the Chestnut Street graveyard only last week. -Ed.]

In the fall of 2010 a question arose on the internet about the

grave stone of the Reverend Ichabod Wiswall buried in the Old Burial Ground on Chest-nut Street. Wiswall was the third pastor of the Church of Christ in Duxborough. That church has evolved into the current First Parish Church Unitarian Universalist on Tremont Street. He served 23 years and died in 1700. Some people, looking at the stone, it is in good shape, have deter-mined that it shows squid or jelly fish or at least some form of cephalopod along the out-side edges. The Duxbury Ru-ral and Historical Society had no answers to the phone in-quiries. Wisall is most widely remembered as the first min-ister in British North America to offer a sermon at grave side for the deceased. He did so at the burial “under arms” of Captain Jonathan Alden in February 1697. Prior to his actions, it was felt that one’s afterlife had been predeter-mined and thus it was not a custom to pray over graves. Who would dare to attempt to intervene with God? Wiswall started to break down that no-tion.

Earlier in Duxbury, he was fascinated with the arriv-al of what came to be called a “Great Comet” that was visible from early December 1680 until March 1681. It was the first comet ever found first by a telescope, but it was so big and came very close to earth that no one could miss it. The tail was estimated as more than 30,000,000 miles long. Its arrival struck terror in the hearts and minds all over the world which was then

a very superstitious place. Comets had always presaged disasters. It was so bright and passed so close to earth that it could be seen in the daytime with the naked eye. It is not known if he saw a comet in London but had likely seen the comet that passed over Duxbury on the 15th of Sep-tember 1682. That comet was quite visible and inspired a lot of interest. It was later identi-fied as a regular earth visitor. Years after Wiswall’s death, Edmund Hally identified the frequency of those visits and predicted future appearanc-es. For this effort, the 1682 comet was given his name. The “Great Comet of 1680” has since been called Kirch’s Comet after the German who first found the comet by tele-scope. It has also been called Newton’s Comet since it al-lowed Newton to prove some scientific theories of the time. Ichabod was so interested and struck by what he saw that he wrote a poem which he shipped off to England for publication in 1683. In the tradition of the times, it was a very long poem of more than 3,000 words (16 pages). That poem about the comet is the only item of 17th century lit-erature of Ichabod Wiswall to survive. So enthralled was he that he shifted his attention to the study of astrology (astron-omy) for the rest of his life.

Upon his death in 1700 the stone carver, John Noyes of Boston, was engaged to prepare the slate stone now found in the Burial Ground. John Noyes was also a silver-smith of some renown, which would explain the intricacy of some of the detail on the slate gravestone. Those details re-flected the focus of Ichabod’s life in his later years.

The meaning of the carv-ing has slipped from popular memory but it is apparent that they represent the comet with the sun at the top and comet below and the huge tail always away from the sun. Thus there are no squid on Chestnut Street.

Duxbury Beach Preservation’s Ed Night set for Feb. 16

On Wednesday, Feb. 16 at 7:30 p.m. at the Duxbury Bay Maritime School, the Duxbury Beach Preservation Society, a subcommittee of the Duxbury Beach Reservation, Inc., launches another exciting year of events. This year for their “Ed Night,” they will host Norman Smith, Director of the Blue Hills Trail-side Museum and the Norman Smith Environmental Education Center. Smith will speak about his work with snowy owls and other shore birds.

Did you know that the snowy owls seen on Duxbury Beach have been moved from Boston’s Logan International Airport, and that Smith is the one who traps them and transports them to our beach? Come learn about these beautiful creatures from an expert who has spent countless days and nights, in all weather conditions, observing, capturing, banding, and color marking the owls. For the last several years, Smith has also been banding ospreys in Duxbury and other towns.

As a self-taught naturalist and member of the Massachusetts Audubon Society for the last 35 years, Smith has studied birds of prey, rehabilitated the injured, and successfully fostered over 1,000 orphaned hawk and owl chicks into adoptive nests. In ad-dition to his work with owls at Logan Airport, he has traveled to Alaska to study snowy owls in their native tundra habitat. His research work has been published in National Geographic, Na-tional Wildlife, Ranger Rick, Yankee, Massachusetts Wildlife, Bird Observer, Birding, Sanctuary, Geo, Nature, Grolier Ency-clopedia, Owls of the Northern Hemisphere, and Owls of the World.

Admission is free, and light refreshments will be served. For further information, call 781-934-2907.

Marion Meer Smith Leahy died at Van Duyn Home on Jan. 20 sur-rounded by family.

Ms. Leahy was born in New York City, then moved to Spring Lake, NJ. She attended gram-mar school first in the

basement of St. Margaret’s Church and then St. Catherine’s Grammar School both in Spring Lake, Manasquan High School and Traphagen School of Fashion in Manhattan, where she studied illustration.

She graduated during World War II, when there wasn’t any work in her field. Instead, she went to work at Fort Monmouth in the base’s finance office. After the war she went to work for the Kenny Press in Newark.

She married her high school sweetheart Wil-liam Duncan Leahy at St. Catherine’s Church in Spring Lake, NJ on Nov. 29, 1948. They settled in Newark, NJ and started a family.

In 1969, the family was transferred to Mas-sachusetts, where they made their home at 416 Washington Street in Duxbury.

While renovating their house under histor-ic preservation guidelines, she was also a card carrying member of the Duxbury Free Library, a member of the Gourmet Club, a Duplicate Bridge Club and a guide at the historic King Caesar House (Clipper ship builder). While in Duxbury, she took up golf and candlepin bowl-

ing.In 1972, the couple were again transferred,

this time to Skaneateles, NY. She worked retail during the Christmas season at Sibley’s Depart-ment Store, Syracuse, at the Bookie (bookstore) in Skaneateles and as the bread lady at several farmer’s markets. She also developed a line of flavored cheesecakes, called Mother Leahy’s Cheesecakes that were carried in several of Syracuse’s busiest restaurants in the 1970s and 80s.

Early in the 21st century, Marion was diag-nosed with an inoperable aneurism in the front right lobe of her brain that wreaked havoc on her brain’s processing. Shortly before her death, she entered Van Duyn.

In addition to her husband of 63 years, she leaves her daughter, Ellen Leahy; her four sons, who are scattered around the United States, William D. Leahy Jr. (Jacqueline) in Georgia, Michael P. Leahy (Vicki) in Arizona, Timothy J. Leahy (Carolyn) in Oregon and Stephen J. Le-ahy (Shawn) in Rhode Island; six grandchildren and three great-grandchildren as well as many friends, nieces and nephews.

A celebration of her life is planned for this spring in Skaneateles, with a separate memorial service planned on the Jersey Shore this sum-mer. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Skaneateles Library, Seymour Library in Auburn or SAVES Ambulance Service in Ska-neateles.

PLAYING HEADS-UP BALL As perhaps the premier Ameri-can contact sport, football poses more than its share of risk of poten-tial injury. As part of its “STOP Sports Injuries Campaign,” a coalition of national healthcare organizations has made it its mission to tackle the issue of children’s sports injuries. Of particular interest to health profes-sionals are traumatic injuries to the knee and shoulder and concussion, which account for the most com-mon football injuries among both pro athletes and young players. Overuse injuries are another com-mon problem, especially among youngsters who push themselves too far and too fast without proper conditioning. Young players are strongly encouraged to get pre-season physicals, and once the season is underway, they should avoid tackling opponents leading with their helmets.

Chiropractic can be of enormous benefit in treating and preventing sports-related injuries and improv-ing athletic performance.

The event was such a success that it will now be an annual occurrence and the corner-stone fundraiser for the Paul S. Fortini Foundation.

“It was fantastic,” said Paul’s mom, Kathy Fortini. “I was truly amazed ... there was so much energy.”

Paul was in the PACMen, an a cappella group at Dux-bury High School. (He tried out for the NYU group as a freshman but didn’t make it, according to his mom.) An ac-complished trumpet player, he was involved in music as well as the drama club.

Ken and Kathy Fortini started the foundation short-ly after Paul was struck and killed by a car on a street in New York City in September of 2008. The intention of the foundation is to help out the high school drama and mu-sic departments by donating things that wouldn’t be able to be purchased through the regular budget process. Kathy Fortini said she’s envision-ing the foundation like a fine arts compliment to the Dux-bury Education Foundation, responding with grants to specific requests. The money raised from the first concert helped buy the music depart-ment a new piano.

The first concert featured performances by the PAC-Men, as well as a cappella groups from NYU, Skidmore College, Northeastern Uni-versity and Trinity College. Except for NYU, all of the groups had one member who

knew Paul personally.Brooke Teittinen is a

member of the Trinity a cap-pella group. She’s been sing-ing her whole life, and was in musicals with Paul at DHS.

“I would be the girl walk-ing around the grocery store singing to myself,” she said.

Her group participated in an a cappella jam in Brattle-boro, Vt., and she wondered if a similar concert would work in Duxbury.

“Since the beginning I’ve been excited about this and wanted to be involved,” she said. Although she was ner-vous about the turnout in the first year, she was happy with the eventual result.

“I was just hoping people would come,” she said. “We were all just overwhelmed by the support ... I’m even more excited this year.”

Teittinen said she wanted to be a part of the fundraiser because her friendship with Paul Fortini was based on their mutual love of music.

“Paul and I were friends since we were little,” she said. “Everything we did was music or drama related ... the connec-tion and friendship Paul and I had was through music.”

She’s hopeful that the concert will expand this year

to include more than just peo-ple who knew Paul, includ-ing other people surrounding communities.

“So people that may not have known Paul can come get a piece of why he was so im-portant,” Teittinen said. “I’m just really excited. I think it’s going to be a fantastic event.”

Groups from Boston Col-lege, Suffolk University, Tufts, and Trinity will be per-forming in this year’s concert, in addition to a professional a cappella group from Boston, Firedrill.

“They contacted us,” said Kathy Fortini. “They heard about what we were doing.”

The foundation will help the drama department in the spring by sponsoring master classes. DHS students and faculty will attend the class-es, and then the students will bring the knowledge they ac-quire to the middle school.

“We hope it continues for a long time,” Kathy Fortini said of the concert.

The Sinister minister set for Feb. 6The Duxbury Free Library and Westwinds Bookshop are

pleased to present mystery author Judith Campbell on Feb. 6 at 2 p.m. in the library’s Merry Room. Discussing her first novel, “A Deadly Mission,” this self described “sinister minister” will share her writing journey and her penchant for mystery, suspense and the sanctity of the religious profession. Campbell is an ordained min-ister in the Unitarian Universalist faith, and the book does address sensitive issues of religious hypocrisy and cults. After a series of murders, the protagonist of the novel, a reverend and professor at a small women’s college, begins to suspect a local religious orga-nization of cult-like behavior. Campbell is also known for her wit and humor, and her engaging presentations. This program is sure to be fun for readers of the mystery genre and beyond. For free ticket information, call the library at 781-934-2721 x108 or stop by Westwinds Bookshop.

On Monday the Board of Selectmen recognized Linda Kucera of Hingham for donating her time, expertise, and materials to completely restore nine original win-dows at the newly reopened Tarkiln Community Center. Pictured is Selectmen Chairman Shawn Dahlen with Linda Kucera.

Currently, the town is in-volved in a lawsuit with the previous manager, Doug John-son of Johnson Golf Inc. of Weston, who sued the town after losing the management contract to what he claimed was an unqualified bidder. Johnson has retained the man-agement of the course due to a court order, which allows him to continue as manager until further notice from the court.

“I am not going to support rebidding this,” said Donato. “I don’t see how it’s going to improve the situation.”

Donato said he felt the information given to the In-spector General was errone-

ous because he said it claimed the town did not know that the company to which it awarded the golf management contract, Calm Golf of Rockland, had practically no assets.

“I believe the town knew this and I respectfully dis-agree,” said Donato.

Donato felt that rebidding the contract could prove futile because the ongoing litigation may discourage bidders.

He said that even though the town was given permis-sion to rebid the contract, he believes the town will not be able to execute a new contract until it is allowed by the court. Donato feels this will not hap-pen until the lawsuit is settled.

“I don’t see any end in

sight with the court battle with Johnson,” Donato said.

Dahlen said the selectmen owed it to Duxbury residents to move forward with a new contract for North Hill before the golf season begins. He said the court has been too slow in making a decision despite the best efforts of the town’s attor-ney to move the suit along.

Dahlen believes the town is correct in issuing the request for bids because he said the Inspector General was given access to all the information about the lawsuit from both sides and made its decision to allow the rebidding after re-viewing it.

One store has left the Mar-ketplace at Hall’s Corner, and another is looking for new ownership, as local Duxbury merchants work to keep cus-tomers in a tough economy.

Octavia’s, which sold gift items, has shuttered its doors and cleaned out its store.

“That was just a hard loss,” said Derek Cavanaugh of Hart Street Associates, the market-place’s landlord. “I loved the two of them [the women who ran Octavia’s.] They just got hit by what is very common throughout the country right now ... economic pressures and unemployment.”

Cavanaugh said that stores that sell housewares have tak-en longer to bounce back after the recession than other kinds of businesses.

Only a few storefronts away, Westwinds Bookshop is looking for new ownership, a move not so much motivated by economic factors but by other obligations.

Christopher Haraden, who owned the bookstore with his wife Marilyn, said that the couple has been thinking about selling the store for a while. Christopher Haraden recently changed jobs and doesn’t have the time he used to have to back up his wife, who is the bookshop’s main manager.

“I don’t have the time that I used to have to be the back-stop for Marilyn,” he said. “We have decided that we can’t continue ourselves ... We just don’t have the time that it’s going to take to devote to the business.”

The Haradens bought the store in April of 2005.

“It’s been great,” Haraden said. “The people of Duxbury were very welcoming to us and were supportive.”

He said that the commu-nity’s connections remain strong. The shop partners with the Duxbury Free Library to bring in authors, and a recent event drew about 100 people.

“That’s always been the strength of the bookshop,” Haraden said. “There’s still a lot of support ... We’re hop-ing someone will see the value that we saw.”

He said he and his wife would prefer to handoff the business to someone else so that Westwinds keeps go-ing, but if there are no takers they may have to simply shut down.

“It’s a real possibility,” he said.

Octavia’s and Westwinds are dealing with the same is-sues facing many local busi-nesses in Duxbury –– pressure from larger chains in places like Hingham and Plymouth, and customers with less and less spending money.

In addition, Cavanaugh said that sometimes resi-dents will give lip service to supporting local businesses without actually walking in the door and spending. Hart Street owns a similar complex in Beverly, and when a store there was clearing inventory, a woman walked in the door and said, “You can’t close, you’re my favorite store!” Yet the business owner hadn’t seen the woman in five years.

“It’s interesting what has worked,” Cavanaugh said. He pointed to a business like De-pot Street Market. The owner of that business opened with an entirely different business plan, but shifted focus quickly once she saw it wasn’t work-ing. It’s since become a suc-cessful take-and-bake outfit.

On the other hand are busi-nesses like the Studio, which hasn’t changed much in the

years it’s been open –– but still, owners John and Marcy Stanton have had to adapt.

“People have had to adapt and be flexible,” Cavanaugh said. “It’s just a tough time for small retail.”

Cavanaugh said the Oc-tavia’s space is his only retail vacant right now (there are some vacant second-floor of-fices, but that’s not unusual.) He does have some interest in renting the space right now, and would like to keep it retail rather than office space. Octa-via’s used to be two separate storefronts, and Cavanaugh said he would be open to look-ing at two businesses instead of one. He hopes to have a new tenant within a couple of months.

“You start eating away at the core retail and you’re go-ing to damage your remaining retail,” he said. “You’ve got to have a number of retail in a spot to make it a destination.”

Octavia’s has left the Hall’s Corner marketplace. The marketplace’s landlord says that some other types of businesses have rebounded better than housewares in this economy.

By SuSanna Sheehan Clipper Staff

Selectmen said last week they needed more time to consider a Town Meeting article that proposes a land swap between the town and the cemetery trustees.

The article proposed to give up two small parcels of cemetery land to the town so the Fre Department can build a new septic system as part of the station renovation plans. It also gives town land to the cemetery to make up for the land taken from the cemetery in 1999 to build the Senior Center.

Selectmen had questions about the article, wonder-ing why the land swap pro-posed for the cemetery was not equal in acreage to what was taken for the senior cen-ter and what is proposed for the fire station septic system.

The cemetery trustees are looking for approximately 30 acres.

Cemetery Trustee Robert Hayes explained that all the land offered by the town is not suitable for burials; how-ever, the land taken for the senior center was prime cem-etery land – flat, completely usable for burials and inside the cemetery’s own bound-aries. This land was given to the cemetery almost 90 years ago for its expansion.

At the time the land was taken for the senior center, town officials had offered to give the cemetery town land adjacent to it, said Hayes, but this never happened.

“It’s unfortunate that we haven’t yet addressed the taking of the land for the Se-nior Center,” Hayes said.

He noted that a large por-tion of the land the town is

offering is not “easily usable for burials” and would be used for “infrastructure pur-poses” only.

“Out of seven and a half acres, all we’ve gained is two to three acres for buri-als,” said Hayes of the trade.

Hayes is proposing that the town give the cemetery more land than it took so the cemetery can have enough space for expansion for the next hundred years.

Selectmen Chairman Shawn Dahlen said he was “100 percent in favor of trad-ing back the same amount of land that’s been taken” from the cemetery, but that he needed more information and more time for review before supporting a larger trade.

Selectman Betsy Sul-livan said she needed more time and wanted to walk the land in question before tak-ing a vote on the article.

received any response. He’s asking Town Meeting voters to change the existing hy-drant bylaw to give the Fire Department more authority to deal with offenders.

“Under the bylaw I have no teeth,” said Nord, who added that he seemed to no-tice the problem more in the past year.

Duxbury already has rules about visually obstruct-ing hydrants. The current bylaw, Chapter 7.10: Fire Hydrants, reads: “No person shall plant any tree, plant or bush or erect any fence or other structure so that it ob-structs the view of a fire hy-drant from the nearest street or highway.” Nord wants to add language (and the Board of Selectmen approved the article) “or so that it ob-structs the operation of a fire hydrant.”

Nord also wants to add a line about enforcement, say-ing that any plant, fence or other structure installed prior to March 12, 2011 shall be

removed within 10 days of receiving written notice from the Fire Department.

Homeowners who vio-late the bylaw are subject to a fine.

In addition to the Fire Department needing to ac-cess the hydrants to fight fires, the Water Department also needs to get at them for flushing and other regular maintenance.

Hydrants are typically

500 feet apart. If firefighters can’t get to a hydrant, they’ll have to connect to one fur-ther away, which leaves a fire burning longer as well as pressure problems from lon-ger hoses.

“It’s like a fire extin-guisher on the wall, you want to go to the closest one and utilize it,” Nord said.

Fire Department trucks do carry some water, but only about 500 gallons –– enough to put out a dumpster fire, but not enough to extinguish a burning home.

“It’s common sense,” Nord said of the obstructed hydrants. “I hate to regulate common sense.”

The bylaw change will be on the warrant at annual Town Meeting on March 12.

Change the way we do building

projectsFor years, Duxbury has approached building

projects in the same manner. Come to Town

Meeting for design funds first, hash out the plans

on Town Meeting floor, then come back in a later year for the

actual construction money.

The problem with this method is that it adds to the cost

and the timetable. As we’ve seen with the police and fire

station projects, delays of years and years only postpone the

inevitable, while construction and other costs go up. This

forces the project’s designers to cut more and more each year

to save less and less.

But there’s a better way. If the projects are approved all at

once, costs can be controlled, and construction can happen on a

faster schedule. Duxbury voters like to get up at Town Meeting

and go over plans inch by inch. But is that really the most cost

effective way to be doing things? Wouldn’t approving a project

all at once, with clear budget caps and other guidelines, be

more effective?

Take, for example, the school projects. Whether you

believe the town needs new schools or not, School Committee

members and district officials did a good thing by putting

Duxbury in the model school program. The town will have less

options, and the buildings will be more “cookie-cutter,” with

less frills. However, the projects will cost less and the design

process will be quicker. Perhaps most importantly, using a

model building prevents what’s known as “scope creep,”

which is when things are added to the design along the way

and the price tag skyrockets from what voters were originally

promised. This way, Duxbury avoids what happened with the

new high school in Newton, and undercuts critics painting the

building as “the Taj Mahal” before they get started.

Maybe Duxbury needs to start taking a similar approach

to other building projects. If it’s decided that new buildings

are needed, building committees could come to Town

Meeting with what they want to build (combined buildings,

rehabilitation projects or new construction, for example)

and a budget. If Town Meeting gives them the go-ahead, the

projects get built, and the professionals control which wall

goes where, and how big the conference table is, rather than

Town Meeting voters. Duxbury’s had success in other areas by

professionalizing services. Maybe it’s time we look at how the

town does construction as well.

–– J. Graeber

I read with great dismay the Clipper article (Jan. 26, 2011), “Superinten-

dent outlines plan for a new $135 million middle school and high school.” He later states, “the buildings are failing.”

The word “failing” is the wrong and irresponsible way of describing the existing school buildings. It is a scare tactic to obtain funds, $135 million, to advance the School Commit-tee’s recommendations.

The word “failing” is used in engineering/construction when there is significant poten-tial for loss of life and/or exten-sive property damage as a result of immediate collapse. Assum-ing that this is the situation in Duxbury, the middle school and the high school building should be declared unsafe, evacuated, and demolished immediately.

As a registered professional engineer in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts with over 40 years of engineering, construc-tion and teaching experience, I can state with confidence this is not the situation in Duxbury. The school buildings are mod-erately old and may require re-pair, maintenance and upkeep, but they are not “failing.”

Some of the buildings’ sys-tems, components and parts are not functioning properly due to age, lack of routine repair and maintenance, but this does not require the existing buildings to be demolished and the new one to be built, at great cost.

In general, the existing school buildings’ problems re-portedly are concentrated in

four areas:1. Heating, ventilating, and

air conditioning (HV&AC)2.Electrical3. Roof4. RenovationTo rectify the above prob-

lems, the first step is to write definitive specifications for each area, describing what is to be replaced, repaired or up-dated and with what kinds of materials and/or equipment.

The second step would be to establish a qualified contrac-tor for each area to perform the specified work within a pre-established schedule.

The existing HV&AC sys-tem can be replaced and a new and highly efficient system can be installed by a qualified contractor during the summer recess without any class dis-ruption, provided that all the procurement procedures are completed prior to summer.

The new and efficient HV&AC system should pay back the total cost in about eight to ten years.

Parallel to the HV&AC in-stallation, the existing electrical system can be updated and en-hanced, meeting the established codes and school requirements. This work should be done dur-ing the summer months by a qualified electrical contractor, with minimum disruption to the ongoing summer school activi-ties.

Depending on the type and installation, the life of a roof is about 20 to 25 years. Assum-ing the schools’ roofs fall with-in this range and/or beyond any

reasonable repair, they should be replaced. The removal of the old and the installation of the new roof systems by a qual-ified roofing contractor should also be done during the sum-mer months.

Once HV&AC, electrical and roofing systems are re-placed and updated, most of the existing problems should not take place in the future, under proper and continuous mainte-nance.

Renovation, which includes non-structural defects such as stained ceiling tiles, missing chairs, painting, etc. should be prioritized and performed on an ongoing basis.

With anticipation that the HV&AC system will have an eight to 10 year cost pay back, the cost of rectifying the re-maining problems can be ex-pected to cost a fraction of the $135 million amount proposed by the School Building Com-mittee. The submitted proposal is neither justified in scope nor in cost.

No major building proj-ect is ever completed on time, within budget, or with the same staff that started it, and ours won’t be the first.

For example, the city of Newton, with a population of 100,000 people, started its own construction of a new high school with an estimate of $130 million. When completed last year, the building cost $200 million.

School buildings aren’t ‘failing’ ——————

I was enjoying your de-cade of pictures im-mensely until I turned

to the page with the car crash-es. I can only imagine the pain, and in some cases, the embar-rassment that was caused by those accidents. The picture of the car crash that resulted in the death of one of our high school students was especially

horrific. I realize that these ac-cidents may have been news worthy at the time but I do not think that they needed to be revisited. If I were the par-ent, relative or friend of that student I am not sure what I would have done. Perhaps I would have gone down to your office to give you an earful but most likely I would have

broken down into tears and would have relived that tragic day all over again. I can only hope and believe that you, and your staff, have never suffered through such a tragedy and did not realize the pain and anger that those very, unexpected pictures would cause.

Crash page was a tough read ——————

Shea’s passion was for Duxbury

We were deeply saddened to hear of the

death of Joe Shea this week.

I first got to know Joe when he came to the Clip-per office to meet with Da-vid Cutler about the World War I monument project. At first I thought they were ar-guing in the back office, but later realized that Joe’s di-minished hearing lead him to talk rather loudly, and the two veterans were merely

swapping war stories as they talked about fundraising for the monument.

Restoring the monument was Joe’s most recent ac-complishment, but he has left a legacy of giving back stamped all across this town, from the cemeteries to First Parish Church, where he was a member for over 40 years. He had a passion for this town and was one of its most tireless champions. He will be sorely, sorely missed by all.

–– J. Graeber

Shea was a tireless volunteer, especially when it came to local history and his church, First Parish.

Mythbusting By ElizaBEth lEwis, P.E.

As chairman of the School Building Committee, I of-fer the following facts in response to recent letters to the editor. First, Train Field is not the site for the

proposed project. The new middle and high school will be con-structed on the site of the current middle school and the field behind it. The existing high school site would be redeveloped for parking and fields.

Cost: The proposed co-located middle and high school has an estimated preliminary construction cost of $130 million, with 43-45 percent reimbursed by the state if a model school design is selected. The tax impact for a median-priced home is estimated to be in the range of 11 percent, not the 20 percent claimed in a recent letter.

Timing: The project is the next phase of a long-range Master Facilities Plan adopted in 2000. In 2007, the school department submitted a request to the state to begin the process for reimbursement for a DMS and DHS project. The SBC was reconvened in 2008 to review and prioritize facilities needs, and in 2009, voters approved a feasibility study for DMS and DHS. That work was completed in 2010 and presented at Town

Meeting and other public meetings. In the summer of 2010, the Massachusetts School Building Authority voted to collaborate with Duxbury on a project to address both schools.

Renovation option: A letter from a reader suggests that rehabilitation would be less costly than renovation. The fact is that current estimates of rehabilitation costs are nearly twice the current assessed values of the buildings and do not account for additional code upgrades that may be required to building systems and functions such as life safety, accessibility, and structural retrofit for seismic.

The SBC did not favor this option for several reasons. MSBA requires towns to prioritize one project at a time and to demonstrate that the project will result in an educationally appropriate solution. The renovation of either school will mean significant disruption to the school community, relocation of students to trailers (for which we would receive no reimburse-ment) and 2-3 years of construction duration. After renovating one school, the district would then have to start the process again on the second school. All this is premised on the chance that MSBA and the town will approve funding for two renova-tion projects, neither of which will resolve fundamental issues with the layout of the buildings.

Funding capital projects for town and school buildings has been an issue for a long time. The dual challenges of Prop 2 1/2 and a slow economy have forced the town to dedicate avail-able funds to operating budgets and to defer maintenance and capital spending.

State funding: A reader assumes that when time is right, state funds will be available. Fact: state reimbursement is avail-able to Duxbury now but there is no guarantee that it will be available in the future. In 2003, Duxbury received 67 percent reimbursement for the Chandler/Alden/PAC project. Currently, Duxbury is eligible for 35.45 percent reimbursement plus eight additional points for using a model school design, construction manager at risk and green building elements. MSBA has sub-stantiated Duxbury’s need for two new schools and added the project to its capital pipeline. MSBA policy states that towns that do not receive voter approval for a project must begin the process all over again. The time is now for state funding, low construction costs and favorable borrowing.

Voter approval: Another reader asserts that the article for the schools is being snuck in at the March Town Meeting when many people are away. The fact is that town meetings and elec-tions have been held annually in March for many years. This year, voters will be asked to approve the costs for schematic design at both Town Meeting and at the ballot, just as they have been asked for any other town project. This is required statuto-rily for funding requests and is in no way a new procedure.

After more than two years of diligent work, the SBC, a dedicated group of Duxbury architects, engineers, planners, conservation experts, builders, town and school officials, has determined that a new, co-located middle school and high school is the most cost-effective, educationally appropriate op-tion. Its findings are corroborated by MSBA. The voters will ultimately decide whether to move forward with the project or risk waiting for a “better” time when costs are higher, while more money is wasted to keep worn-out buildings operating and accredited, and state funding is in question.

Ms. Lewis is the School Building Committee chairwoman

We are lucky here in Duxbury to have The Bog so

close by on the Kingston line, and the outdoor benefits our many cranberry bogs provide – all places where we can skate our winter blues away. Howev-er, what many of us don’t real-ize, and what I’ve only come to learn in the last couple of years, is that we have a fabulous in-door skating location right here in town – and that would be at the Alden School gym!

For the last two years I’ve coached boys’ basketball at Alden, and I’ve seen a differ-ent type of winter game played there just about every day, one where not even the child with the brand new sneakers and the very best balance can stop when he or she needs to. Playing on the floors at Alden is truly like skating on ice. Students simply have no ability to run and then either stop or turn, or even to simply pivot in place!

Clearly, the Alden gym floors have not been anywhere close to being adequately main-tained even in a building not

slated for renovation or demo-lition, and I have to wonder if we really know how to main-tain our buildings. Whether we ultimately renovate or rebuild a couple of our schools, I’d hope we have a better plan in place for how we’ll treat those new buildings so that they will not only last a long time but so they will also function at a high level throughout that lifespan.

Back to basketball for a minute, we are a town that prides itself on our sports pro-grams and we are also a com-munity that is suddenly much more aware of sports injuries, such as concussions. Yet, the playing court situation at Alden is so bad that I’ve had several children on my teams fall un-necessarily and also often hit their heads on the court. Apart from the fact that the game sim-ply cannot be taught, learned and played as intended, there have surely been numerous in-juries that could also have been prevented had these floors been adequately maintained. While we athletes tend to shake off our injuries and just keep play-

ing, I still think we can do bet-ter, can’t we?

I’ve written to the Recre-ation Department two years in a row, and I believe they’ve forwarded my input to the schools. All coaches, students, and involved parents in town are well aware of this issue at Alden, but I believe this is a sit-uation that we have all come to simply tolerate and feel some-what hopeless about as much as it is both frustrating and disap-pointing. So dare I ask, what it would take to deep-clean the floors and to perhaps apply a single coat of wax once every other year? Is this the appropri-ate solution? If our schools can-not afford to make their gyms minimally safe and playable (middle school included, by the way), then let’s discuss the ap-propriate solutions and costs. If there’s a way to make it happen I will gladly volunteer to lead efforts to raise the money we need.

Duxbury can learn a lot about school building and other

town infrastructure needs from the Newton experience. After Newton’s mayor at the time, David Cohen, hired an archi-tect, Graham Gund, to design the new Newton North High School, the firm Dore and Whittier Architects took the lead for the construction docu-ments and construction admin-istration phases. There was no initial budget set and the costs continued to skyrocket. That building ended up with a final price tag of $197.5 million af-ter starting with a much smaller original estimate. The spend-ing created strife in the town, raised taxes, and led to the mayor not seeking re-election. Newton recently had to cut $1 million from its town budget to balance the books.

The Duxbury School Com-mittee has hired Dore and Whit-tier for a new school feasibil-ity study, the same firm which took the lead for the construc-tion documents and construc-tion administration phases of the Newton North High School debacle. In an article online entitled “Dollars don’t mea-sure new Newton North High School’s full cost,” the long, sad tale of the too expensive final building is told. The les-son from the tale from Newton residents is to have the town working with citizens set an initial budget of what taxpayers are willing to spend on a new school, (and a new police sta-tion, an upgraded fire station), etc. Presenting expensive pro-posals at Town Meeting leads to rejection and no movement on necessary building repair.

Current proposals for $125 million for the schools, $6,449,000 for the police sta-tion, and $4,400,000 for the

fire station add up to over $135 million. If the schools were co located (not necessarily a good idea) and the state paid $51 mil-lion that would still leave a $84 million bill for the taxpayers of a town with a population of just 14,248. Where did the number $119 million to renovate the schools come from? That is ludicrously expensive, and a much better price can be had in this market. By paying for de-sign first with no budget limits we will repeat the Newton mis-take on our building needs.

I would suggest the town set a cap of $40 million (a very robust budget) to renovate the high school and middle school, $5 million to build a new po-lice station at the current site, and $4 million to renovate the fire station. Put that to a town vote. The town will get bids in a very competitive market that will do the job with these budgets. That way taxpayers

could know what the limit of costs will be for the town ($49 million total versus the current $84-$135 million) and archi-tects and construction person-nel would know the limits of what they could spend. There is currently a large percentage of unemployed architects and construction personal, some site 15-30 percent –– even 50 percent. In a recession numbers should come down not up.

The town of Duxbury has residents of all income catego-ries, from very wealthy to very low fixed incomes. Get rid of expensive building consultants and get real! Go to Town Meet-ings with realistic budgets for recession-times, otherwise we will need to cut town budgets in five years to pay for an ex-pensive building spree as New-ton learned.

Senior Club needs members

The Senior Club meets the first Friday of each month at the Duxbury Senior Center. The next meeting is Feb. 4 with coffee social at 9:30 a.m. Followed by the

meeting at 10 a.m. This month the Club will discuss the future of the Senior Club. As in June 2006, the need for volunteers still exists. The club has excellent board members. All are volunteers and the nominating committee has not been able to replace them. We are grateful to them for giving to the Club for one more year. This is the 44th year as an incorporated private club.

In the mid-60’s the club paid rent. A member at that time, Hannah Melquist, was concerned the Senior Club would dissolve for lack of funds. Hannah Melquist’s bequest to the Duxbury Senior Citizen’s Club has allowed members to meet all these years and to continue as a private club for many more years.

The nominating committee volunteers in April and announc-es board member nominees in May, when additional nominations may also be made from the floor. Members then vote on the first Friday of June. The last two years the volunteer requirements were not met which led to frustration within the executive board. It is imperative for the club to start this process of preparing for the 45th year earlier. The bylaws state that volunteers “shall serve for a term of one year.” A guarantee of this rule could see more volunteers.

The DHS boys’ swim team remains undefeated af-ter trouncing Hanover/Rock-land last Tuesday, 84-61. The Dragons won all but two events, improving their record to 7-0 and inching closer to their 11th Patriot League title in 12 years.

Mike Connolly continues to dominate the 200 and 500-yard freestyle events, finishing well ahead of his competition in both. Matt Griffin (2nd) and Mason Crane (5th) fol-lowed in the 200, while Kee-lan Murphy (2nd) and Kevin Coakley (3rd) completed the

sweep in the 500. Ian Wilson coasted to a

season-low, State-qualifying time of 59.78 in the 100-yard backstroke, followed by Ar-thur Su (2nd) and Josh Ng (3rd). The three, joined by Ben Zelvis, started the meet off by winning the 200-yard medley relay.

Zelvis would later return to the pool to take first in the 50-yard freestyle with a blis-tering time of 25.19. Behind him were Drew Lawerence (5th) and Mike Tougas (6th). Tougas would also take first place in the diving competi-tion, edging out teammate Ryan Scanlan.

The co-captain Su brothers continue their winning ways, as well. Arthur (1:01.5) took first in the 100-yard butterfly, while Barry (1:11.12) grabbed

the breaststroke honors. They later teamed up with Wilson and Connolly to capture first in 400-yard freestyle relay. The 200 freestyle relay team of Barry Su, Steven Kravitz, Crane and Ng also took first, continuing the sweep.

The Dragons will be back at the Percy Walker Pool this week, as they take on Norwell and Barnstable. Then it’s on to Middleboro for the Patriot League championships on Sat-urday.

The last time I wrote about the dump, I took on a tongue-in-cheek contrarian

voice. Trouble is, most folks thought I was seriously ranting against the pay-as-you-throw program. I heard nothing but the occasional cricket chirp, dog barking in the distance instead of the laughter I had hoped for.

Worst of all, people must have thought that I really opposed the

program, but were too afraid to even mention it to me. I thought they would nick a nerve and send me off the deep end at my day job.

So I won’t try satire this time.

I’ll play it straight. I love the transfer station’s “Save as You Throw” program. Tongue in cheek or not, here are some reasons why.

Successful dump runs are a balanced affair. One load in, one load out. Our Duxbury Mall swap area goes way back, with roots in the old land-fill before the nifty compacting pit came to town. Along with the manly joys of heaving broken TVs and mattresses into the ravine (extra points for distance, bounce, and exploding

The Duxbury girls’ swim team is one win away from capturing outright its 20th straight Patriot League title after defeating Hanover/Rock-land, 102-81, last week. The girls brought their “A” game on Tuesday, capturing six first-place finishes and numerous season-low times.

Co-captain Sarah Gold-berg led the Lady Dragons with two individual wins in the 200 and 500-yard freestyle events, as she swam a season-low 2:03.96 in the 200, fol-lowed by Shelby Rader (2nd) and Hannah Riddle (6th). Lat-er on in the 500 free, Goldberg

(5:34.15) crushed the compe-tition, finishing over 20 sec-onds ahead of the second place Hanover/Rockland swimmer. Kassie Sweeney, cruising to third place, posted a season-low, Sectional-qualifying time of 6:05.53. Elizabeth Buckley took fourth.

Ellie Johnson also won two events, placing ahead of Miranda VanDingstee (3rd) in the 200 IM and finishing the 100-yard breaststroke with a season-low time of 1:14.69. Finishing just behind in that event were Jill Coghlan (2nd) and Avery Riddle (4th). Rad-er took first in the 100-yard backstroke with a season-low 1:04.88. Third and fifth place went to Olivia Zelvis and Kris-ta Librett, respectively.

The 200 and 400-yard freestyle relays also finished ahead of the competition, as

captains Goldberg and Emily Hutchinson, teamed up with younger sisters Jessie and Hannah, to take first in the 200. Sarah Goldberg would join Katie Eagan, Laura Hus-ted and Johnson to finish first in the 400.

In one of the closest races of the meet, Katie Eagan coast-ed to a season-low 1:02.78 in the 100-yard butterfly, touch-ing out the second place Ha-nover/Rockland swimmer at the wall. Riddle was third and

Dragons Winter Sports ScheduleSchedule revised as of January 31

picture tubes), a man could find garden tools, mowers, and bicycles for a song. But now the system is finely tuned, and it’s an easy thing to leave the dump with more stuff than you brought.

I use an upgrade plan. If I see a better ski, for example, I snag it, check it at home, and bring the previous pair back on the next trip. Using this method, I can now ski (next winter) on parabolic skis with nifty front-loading boots with a metallic glow. I can retire my old day-glow hatchback boots. They were eye-catchers alright, but I think the nods and smiles that I saw harbored a polite “God love ya!” beneath the surface.

I still get all my garden tools at the swap area. By now I’ve gone through several generations. Some are actually worth preserving along with using. I’m especially proud of a hoe and a rake, each forged by a blacksmith from a single piece of steel. The hoe is especially graceful looking, and wouldn’t you know, the easiest to use in the garden. The angle is perfect, and it’s as light as a feather.

But the biggest changes for me are the single stream recycling and the pre-paid blue bags for the trash that really can’t find another use. I understood the concept (which helps), and I’ve got the system down pat. I’m driving my family crazy, but that’s nothing new.

“Halt!” I bellow. “That goes in the composting bin! The purple one!”

I’ve always kept a compost pile out back. Now I have a compost bin in the kitchen, and I’m on the list at Town Hall to buy a big outdoor bin when they order the next set. Coffee grounds and filters, paper towels, you’d be surprised what can be composted instead of being thrown in the Pit. Of course, all my vegetable kitchen wastes go in my purple bin.

But here’s a surprise: Americans and Europeans have grown so accustomed to cheap food that they discard as much as 25 percent of the food they buy. I heard it on NPR, and knew it was true. Stale chips, forgotten veggies in the refrigerator, coffee dumped out to make room for a fresh pot. It’s stunning. Half a plate of food gets swept into the trash because someone couldn’t finish a second helping. Leftover corn gets tucked in the refrigerator, only to be tossed later because no one feels like having it before it goes bad.

Our old ideas of economy – buy the huge bag for a cost-per-pound saving – may be out of date. Huge bags boost waste, yet drive up the global demand for such staples as wheat or potatoes. My parents’ old admonition that I should consider how starving children in Korea would love to finish the beans I was wasting now turns out to be true. Food today is bought and sold on a global scale and my wasting stale chips or bread (by buying too much) actually does drive up the price world-wide.

But eventually some things have to go into the blue bag. When they do, they’re in for it. Those bags are tough, and I can mash a lot of trash into a very small space. Then it’s off to the Mall – the Duxbury Mall, of course. I need a new puppy rug!

With every remaining game on the Dragons’ hockey schedule being crucial to its playoff hopes, the visit by St. Peter-Marian (2-9) was a wel-come sight when forecasting wins and losses in the final nine games.

Despite dominating play throughout the evening, Dux-bury had to rely on junior Will Siefert’s goal with 1:14 to go in the game for a 4-3 win over the Guardians that brings Dux-bury’s record to 4-4-5.

The Dragons looked to be in control after first period goals by Siefert and senior captain Nick Buonvicino gave them a 2-0 lead. But a goal by St. Pete’s Nate Spinney cut the margin to one after a weird bounce eluded goalten-der Derek Williams and made it 2-1 after the first period of play.

It took just 19 seconds for the Dragons to continue their dominance when senior Kane Haffey’s shot off the left wing was defected past the Guard-

ian goaltender for what looked like a comfortable 3-1 lead.

The Dragons would spend three minutes killing off Guardian power-plays in the middle of the second period and it didn’t seem to affect their play, as Williams was rarely tested. Duxbury seemed to reverse play in the final two minutes, as Siefert was robbed on a solo break-in and they held a power-play advantage of their own.

What appeared to be a comfortable existence for the Dragons entering the third pe-riod took just 39 seconds to reverse itself.

With Duxbury’s power-play coming to an end, the Guardians caught the Drag-ons off guard when Dan Blute fired a shot on Williams that hit a stick out front and popped over the goaltender’s shoulder at the 14:31 mark to make it 3-2.

Just 10 seconds later, the game was all tied at 3-3 when Spinney scored his second of the game coming down the left side and firing on Williams, as the puck broke through his pads.

The action would go back-and-forth throughout the rest of the period with neither team

having any serious scoring bids.

With 1:36 remaining in the game and the puck in the St. Pete’s end of the ice, Coach John Blake called a timeout. Whatever was discussed never took place, as the Guardians stole a pass intended for the point and raced up ice, only to see their chance for a win bro-ken up. With his forwards be-hind the onrushing Guardians,

the puck was sent up ice from Tim Harrison to Evan Jack-son, who spotted Siefert for a break-in and the game-winner.

“I thought for the most part we carried the play,” said Blake. “We said at the end of the second period not to let them get back in it, but they scored two quick ones and we thought it was going to be one of those nights. But I thought we showed some character by

finishing on the last rush. We still need to put together some solid 45 minutes of smart, disciplined, physical hockey. Once we do that we’ll be fine. We play well in spurts, but we still haven’t played that full 45 minute game. With some of the teams we have coming up like Woburn and Xaverian, if we don’t play those types of games, we don’t have a shot.”

The momentum that the Duxbury girls’ hockey team developed after big wins over Wellesley and Martha’s Vine-yard seems to keep building, as evidenced by Saturday’s 11-1 trouncing of the Scituate Sailors at The Bog.

Having demolished the Sailors (12-1) in their first meeting of the year, it was safe to assume the Lady Dragons wouldn’t be challenged much by the second-year program that came into the game with a 1-9 record.

It took just 29 seconds for Duxbury to get on the board, as SEMGHL scoring leader Hannah Murphy was sent in alone on passes by Lily Con-nolly and Martha Findley and beat Scituate goaltender Han-nah Clougherty for a 1-0 lead.

While the Lady Dragons dominated play, the Sailors kept them in check over the next five minutes until fresh-man defenseman Caroline Shaunessy did a Bobby Orr-

like rush from end-to-end, weaving around Scituate’s checking forwards and beat-ing the Sailor defense before going in alone on Clougherty and beating her to the top left corner for a 2-1 lead.

It didn’t take long for Dux-bury to go ahead 3-0, as fresh-man Zoe Griffin needed just 23 seconds to beat Clougherty, stuffing the puck between the netminder and the post with 8:47 remaining in the first pe-riod.

The period would come to a merciless end with Murphy and Colleen Leddie scoring again in the final three minutes for a 5-0 lead.

Sophomore goalie Tori Sanchez got the start in net and had to fend off a Scituate power play in the final minute of the period.

Junior defenseman Martha Findley upped the score to 6-0 midway through the second period with assists going to Lily and Briana Connolly, and Murphy made it 7-0 when she intercepted a pass and went in alone on Clougherty for a shorthanded score with 4:22 left in the middle period.

The Sailors finally got on the board a minute later, when

Alanna Woodford knocked home a rebound past Sanchez after she stopped a series of Scituate shots that made it 7-1 as the period ended.

The Lady Dragons con-tinued to have their way in the final 15 minutes, as goals by Lily Connolly, Liz Collins, Leddie and Emily Giumetti finished off the scoring for

Duxbury and raised their re-cord to 10-1, as they got ready for back-to-back games with Falmouth.

“This win qualifies us for the tournament and it’s the quickest that has happened in the history of the program,” said Coach Friend Weiler. “It’s tough having been off the ice for a week due to the

snowstorms, and you want to make sure the regulars get the ice time they need. You also want to get some ice time for the kids who don’t play a lot. The girls know we have some tough competition in our di-vision, so it is important that they keep hungry by knowing that getting the highest seed possible is important.”

The Duxbury wrestling team has a history of strong performances at their own tour-nament. But with only one win in dual meets this season, this year’s squad could have been the exception at the eight-team tournament held at Duxbury High School on Saturday.

With two starters return-ing to the lineup and some key pins, Duxbury pulled off a huge 39-34 win over Dur-fee in the first round, and then won convincingly (45-24) over a tough Plymouth North team to advance to the finals, where they lost a close one to New Bedford.

The first match of the morn-ing began at heavyweight with Durfee senior captain Dave Medeiros facing off against Duxbury sophomore Owen Grey. Grey circled for much of the first period, not wanting to tie-up and waiting to make his move. It came halfway through the period in the form of a throw, giving him a 2-0 lead. However, Grey’s lead was short-lived, as Medeiros quickly tied the match up with a reversal, and later mounted a 6-0 run before pinning the underclassman in the second period.

Next up for the Dragons was sophomore Nick Kates, who faced off against Durfee junior captain and No. 5-ranked Eric Beneviedes in the 103 lbs. contest. Kates held his own in the first period after giving up the first takedown. However, Beneviedes extended his lead in the second period with a tilt and three back points, giving him a 5-0 lead heading into the third. With Kates on top, the junior captain earned a 2-point reversal, and three more back points en route to a 10-0 major decision, and four more points for the visitors.

With no contest at 112, Duxbury got their first points of the match at 119 when ju-nior Brendan Gillis returned to the mat for the first time in three weeks and went unop-posed, giving the Dragons six points.

With the score 10-6 in fa-vor of Durfee, Hilltopper soph-omore Adam Pereira gave his team an unexpected boost when he took the mat in the 125 lbs. weight class, and caught fresh-man Jim Chappuis in a cradle after a first-period takedown for the win and the pin.

Now up 16-6, Durfee was seemingly in good shape to add to their lead with senior captain Jacob Martin taking the mat against Duxbury sophomore Jake Genereux in the 130 lbs. match-up. Genereux got the first takedown for an early 2-0 lead, but after a short break for blood, Martin tied the match at 2-2. Genereux quickly re-versed the senior captain, and took a 4-2 lead heading into the second period. Down by two, Martin chose bottom, but Ge-nereux proved to be too tough on top, mounting a 7-2 lead be-fore pinning the Durfee senior early in the third period.

Unfortunately for Dux-

bury, Durfee answered in the 135 lbs. contest when junior Nick Champagne returned the favor by pinning Duxbury sophomore JP Geiger.

That set up the return of Duxbury senior captain Pat Donovan (140), who suf-fered a concussion earlier in the month. Donovan used a single-leg takedown and trip on sophomore Joe Manchester, and added two back points to go ahead 4-0 early in the first period. Manchester would manage a one-point escape to cut the lead to 4-1, but that was as close as the underclassman would get, as Donovan would get two more takedowns and was awarded another point when Manchester was called for stalling, giving the senior captain a convincing 9-2 vic-tory.

The three points closed the gap to 22-15 in favor of Durfee, but Duxbury senior captain Jamie Auer would pull his team to within one point when he continued to exploit Durfee’s inexperience in the middle weights. He got a quick pin after a takedown in the 145 lbs. weight class.

Duxbury sophomore Lucas Trumbo would win by forfeit at 152 lbs., but another injury for Duxbury at 160 would force the Dragons to forfeit at that weight class.

With Durfee still cling-ing to a one-point lead, senior Diago Araujo took the mat against Duxbury sophomore Cody Dormady in the 171 pound weight class. Dormady went on the attack and got the first takedown. But after stop-ping the match for an illegal hold by the Dragon grappler, the referee had the two wres-tlers re-start in neutral. That’s when the Durfee senior took the Duxbury sophomore to the mat hard, sunk a half, and worked for the pin.

With two matches to go, Durfee was up by seven, but with the Duxbury faithful on their feet, senior captain Alec McKenzie, who is one of the team leaders in pins, took the mat against Durfee senior Evan Darmody in the 189 lbs. weight class. McKenzie wasted little time getting the first takedown, and eventually recorded a criti-cal pin as the first period was about to expire, cutting the Du-rfee lead to 34-33.

The Dragon bench was sensing a victory, but the match

would come down to the 215 lb. contest with Duxbury junior Bobby Boyle pitted against Durfee junior Dave McEl-roy. As he always does, Boyle came out fired up, and quickly took McElroy to the mat for an early 2-0 lead. The Durfee ju-nior could do little on bottom, as Boyle worked hard to turn McElroy. His determination would eventually pay off with Duxbury’s fourth pin of the match, and a dramatic 39-34 come-from-behind victory.

The win put the hosts in the semi-finals against sectional foe Plymouth North. Duxbury had the upper hand in pins with four, and also won eight out of the fourteen matches.

One of those key matches for the Dragons was in the 119 lbs. weight class with Dux-bury’s Gillis turning in a gutsy performance against PN’s Chris O’Neill. Gillis was bat-tling a stomach ailment, but hung on to win a 4-2 decision.

Also winning by deci-sion for Duxbury were senior captains Donovan (140) and Auer (145). Genereux won by forfeit when Plymouth North Coach Bobby Lewis decided to bump up his 130-pounder to avoid a possible loss.

After being down 7-0, Duxbury’s Chappuis reversed PN sophomore Chucky Pha-canisiri, and earned a key sec-ond-period pin in the 125 lbs. weight class. Also pinning for the hosts were Kates (103) and Dormady (171), who pinned PN senior Gavin Dineen to the delight of the crowd. McK-enzie (189) and Boyle (215) earned Duxbury’s third and fourth pins of the match.

Duxbury certainly had its chances to win the champi-onship against New Bedford, but the Whalers moved two of their top wrestlers, Jonathan Costa (119) and Paulo Tavares (125), up a weight class to se-cure a pin and a win. Duxbury didn’t help its cause by having to forfeit two weight classes in the 45-35 loss.

Going 3-0 on the day for Duxbury were Donovan and Auer, while Boyle pinned all three of his opponents. Also recording a pin for the hosts against New Bedford was Owen Grey (285).

On Senior night, the Drag-on grapplers will play host to Patriot League rival Silver Lake on Wednesday at 7 p.m.

Bray breaks DHS 1000m record


The boys’ Indoor Track Coaches Invitational was held on Sunday. This is a qualification meet that showcases the top track athletes in the state.

Senior Greg Bray ran the 1,000 meter in 2:37.74, breaking the Duxbury HS indoor track school record previously held by his brother, Ben Bray. His time puts Bray in the top 24 (17th) and qualifies him for the Elite Meet this weekend.

Jason Angell broke the 10-minute barrier in the two-mile by running a personal best 9:59.48. The time puts Angell in the top 24 (14th) and qualifies him for the Elite Meet this Sun-day at the Reggie Lewis Center..

Nick Kangos ran his second fastest time of year in the 55 meter with a 7.12.

This Sunday is the McIntyre Elite Meet with Bray and An-gell having the option to compete in their individual events. They will also be joined by Jon McKinley and Brett Sahlberg to compete in the distance medley relay that has a field of the top 12 distance medley teams in the state.

The Duxbury boys’ basket-ball team inched a step closer to qualifying for the MIAA Divi-sion II tournament, when they knocked off Patriot League-Fisher Division leader Quincy High School, on Friday night in Duxbury.

What was expected to be a major battle between two of the top teams in the Patriot League didn’t develop according to the script, as the Presidents (7-5 overall/7-2 in league) playing without leading scorer Oliver O’Sullivan, trailed early and could never get their offense clicking without their big gun in the lineup.

The Dragons have estab-lished themselves as a defen-sive team, and it showed in the first eight minutes, as Coach Gordon Cushing’s squad lim-ited the Presidents to just six points, four of which came after Quincy called a timeout trailing 13-2 with 4:20 left in the quarter.

When both teams came back on the court, the nature of the game never changed, as Connor Kindregan, Justin Marino (3), and Sam Ederle (3) kept the offense rolling and

ended the quarter with a 21-6 lead.

The Duxbury offense cooled off somewhat in the second quarter, yet their de-fense remained strong, as they built a 28-10 lead with just over a minute to go before halftime. Three points by the visitors in the final minutes gave the Dragons a 28-13 half-time lead.

It was hard to imagine the Dragons playing any better en-tering the third quarter, but they continued to run and dominate the boards, scoring the first 11 points of the second half while building a 39-13 lead. By the time the third quarter was over, Duxbury had held the high-scoring Presidents to just four third-quarter points and had

established an insurmountable 43-17 lead.

Cushing was able to clear his bench in the final eight minutes, as Joe Guilfoile, Wes-ley Doe, Andrew Scott, Gor-don Acha, and Dave Donovan got the majority of the playing time. While Kindregan and Acha were able to increase the Duxbury lead to 49-19, Quincy went into a full-court press the rest of the quarter and caused numerous Duxbury turn-overs resulting in a 21-5 run that made the final score look somewhat close at 54-40.

“I thought our kids played well,” said Cushing. “We held them to 13 points at half time and it’s defense like that is what we hang our hats on. With Curtis (Owen) being at

50 percent we need other guys to step up and get the job done. We just need more guys to be consistent on offense. I think we are pretty good on the de-fensive end. We just need people to step up offensively. We’re still young, but we’re doing all right.”

Kindregan led the Drag-

ons with 16 points, while John Geary (10), Justin Marino (8), Curtis Owen (7), and Sam Ed-erle (7) also were big contribu-tors to the Duxbury win.

After traveling to Pem-broke on Tuesday, the Dragons return home for a rematch with Silver Lake at 6:30 p.m. on Friday.

It was a battle of Patriot League division leaders on Friday night in Quincy and the Lady Dragons (10-2) had little success unseating the Presidents, as they never re-covered from a first-period shooting barrage and dropped a 59-40 decision to the Fisher Division leaders.

Attacking Duxbury’s zone defense with a pletho-ra of three-point bombs (6) in the first quarter, Quincy (11-2) grabbed a 24-11 lead after eight minutes that made

a comeback, not out of the question, but highly unlike-ly.

By halftime the lead had grown to 35-19, as junior center Kiley McDonald was on her way to an impres-sive night for the hosts with 18 points and 16 rebounds, while holding Duxbury’s Mi-chaela North to 16 points.

McDonald got plenty of offensive help from her team-mates, while Devon Tsinzo was the next high scorer for Duxbury with 8 points.

It is a busy week for the Lady Dragons as they host-ed New Bedford on Mon-day night and Pembroke on Tuesday, before traveling to Kingston on Friday night to take on Silver Lake.

Audio books available

A collection of 34 young adult (teen) interest titles in the Playaway format is available at the library. These are individually pack-aged mp3 devices that have a single title loaded on them for listening while you walk, ride, sit. They come with ear phones and an extra AAA battery if you need it. Lis-ten to a popular current teen title or some of the books on the high school reading list while you do other things. To browse the collection, go to the teen lounge on the upper level of the Duxbury Free Library and look under the window. They can be checked out for two weeks.

Brush burning permits availableBrush burning permits are available for purchase during

normal business hours from 8:30 a.m.-4 p.m., as well as Satur-days and Sundays from 9 a.m.-2 p.m. The cost of the burning permit is $10 for the season. The Duxbury Fire Department only accepts checks. Cash will not be accepted. Burning per-mits will be sold only at the Central Fire Station located at 668 Tremont St.

The last day of burning season will be May 1. Residents are strongly encouraged to get their burning done early be-cause burning will be very limited if we have a dry spring.

Burning without a 2011 permit is a violation and burning privileges will be revoked for the remainder of the burning season.

Burning permits are only for brush, cane, driftwood, and forestry products. Burning of leaves, grass, hay, straw, stumps, finish lumber, or construction debris is strictly prohibited and doing so will be cause for immediate revocation of the permit. Burning must be done on land proximate to where the brush is generated, it must be done at least 75 feet from a dwelling, and adequate resources must be available to immediately ex-tinguish the fire if requested to do so by a fire official. Burning will only be permitted when weather and wind conditions are acceptable.

eBooks availableElectronic books or eBooks are available for free downloads

from the Duxbury Free Library to your Nook, Sony eReader and other open format devices; but not the Kindle because it is not open format. The Old Colony Library Network has purchased hundreds of eBooks that Duxbury card holders can download via Overdrive. Access to the eBooks is through our Library cat-alog, found in the header under: Download E-books and audio. Also there are three eReaders available at the Reference Desk if someone is interested in examining an eReader.

Display case open to the publicAre you a person who is so interested in some type of

item, that you can’t get enough? Perhaps you collect buttons, or bird ornaments, or glass paperweights. Or maybe you in-herited Aunt Millie’s international yo-yo collection. Would you like to show off your collectibles to the community? The Duxbury Free Library provides a display case for this purpose. Past case collections have included mermaids, baskets, teddy bears, Red Sox memorabilia, Duxbury photos, tiny boxes, a crow collection, postcards, and record albums from the 60’s and 70’s. Call the library at 781-934-2721 x108, or stop by the circulation desk and reserve the case now.
