Duxbury Bay Maritime School’s annual Opening of the Bay festival served as a showcase for the school’s new building.

The 19,000 square foot building replaced a tin shed that was used for storage only. The new building provides storage room for boats during the winter, classroom space, office space and locker rooms. The second floor also has a


For Betty McNeil, watch-ing the Memorial Day Parade has been a tradition for years and years. McNeil and her husband, a former Duxbury Police Chief, built their home on Depot Street in 1954, and used to sit on the front lawn and watch the parade march down the street to the First Parish Church. McNeil’s love for the parade is so strong, however, that even after she sold the home a few years ago, the current owners save a seat for her on Memorial Day.

A pair of police unions are criticizing Town Manager Richard MacDonald for what they say is a lack of support for their chief.

The Duxbury Police Com-manders Association, in a let-ter dated March 26, and the Duxbury Police Dispatchers Association, in a letter dated March 30, said their respective organizations took a vote of no confidence in MacDonald.

MacDonald declined to

comment on the letters and the vote, and would only say that “there’s always a story behind the story.”

In the letters, union offi-cials say they stand by Chief Mark DeLuca amid rumors that the chief’s contract may not be renewed.

“If this is true it would be a travesty and totally un-just,” wrote Lt. Roger Banfill, Lt. Lewis Chubb and Lt. Su-san James in the Command-ers Association’s letter. “The

A weekend of wild weather

A thunderstorm brought hail, rain and lightning to Duxbury on Sunday. Although the storm only lasted a short time, many residents had to shovel ice-cube sized hailstones out of driveways and stairwells. The Duxbury Fire Department also responded to a building fire on Washington Street caused by a lightning strike around 4:30 p.m., according to Deputy Fire Chief William Carrico.


2,500 square foot function room that overlooks Duxbury Bay.

“Things were inefficient,” said DBMS Executive Direc-tor Chuck Leonard. “The idea was to combine everything in a multi-function building.”

Getting the building ready for the Opening of the Bay was no easy task. School staff only moved into the building about a week before the festival, and some painting and other work was going on almost up to the opening. Leonard said there will be a more official grand opening of the building later this summer.

“We’ve been working around construction guys and

painters,” said DBMS’s Linda Herrick. “We really scrambled to get everything together.”

The end result of all that hard work, however, is a beau-tiful facility that will meet the needs of the school now and for the foreseeable future, as the building has room for ex-pansion.

“We built it so we can grow into it,” Leonard said.

Duxbury Bay Maritime School has between 250-300 students on the bay every day during the summer. The school was founded about 12 years ago, and Leonard gave the original executive director, Ned Lawson, credit for having the vision that led to the cre-ation of the new building.

“He knew what he need-

ed,” Leonard said. “He was an integral part of the design.”

The DBMS offices were housed in a dilapidated build-ing that was torn down on Tuesday. The school has seven permanent part-time employ-ees and three full-time work-ers. In the summer, they hire about 90 instructors, some of whom live in a dormitory building next to the new facil-ity.

“Our programs have ex-panded so much, we just need-ed more space,” said Herrick.

Leonard said the school’ s focus was to create programs first and that the building space would follow.

“It’s been a long time in the making,” he said.

ROW, ROW, ROW YOUR ERG: DBMS students take advantage of the rowing room in the new building. The new facility houses this training center as well as office space, locker rooms and classroom space.

Efforts to bring Verizon’s fiber optic television, or FiOS, to Duxbury are moving for-ward.

Selectmen approved the “issuing authority report,” pre-pared by their attorney to send to Verizon, at a meeting on Wednesday. This report out-lines what Duxbury wants Ve-rizon to provide as part of its contract. It is the last required step before negotiations can begin.

Selectmen had questions about the section of the report regarding the damages Veri-zon must pay if it ever broke its contract with the town.

Selectman Jon Witten, an attorney, felt the amounts were too low.

“These are numbers that go back to the Stone Age,” he said at a meeting last week.

The damages range from $50 a day to $200 a day de-pending upon the offenses, which include such things as a failure to comply with the requirements for local access programming, equipment and funding.

Selectmen wanted to check with Bill Hewig, the lawyer handling their cable contract negotiations, to see if the dam-ages could be increased.

“Let’s ask Bill why these numbers are so low,” said Wit-ten. “I think we could exert a little more pressure here.”

Acting cable television committee chairman Bill Kearney said it is usually very difficult to include breach of contract damages in cable TV contracts.

Verizon has thirty days from the approval of the con-tract to respond and then the actual negotiations begin, said Kearney.

A representative from Ve-rizon approached selectmen in January and told them the telephone company wanted to bring FiOS television to Duxbury and would begin in-stalling the fiber optic cable throughout the town this year. Some residents can already ac-cess the fiber optic network for their telephone and Internet connection but not for televi-sion.

FiOS will compete with Duxbury’s cable company, Comcast, to provide television, phone and Internet service.

Duxbury has been in ne-gotiations with Comcast for a new cable contract for many years. The town has been without a cable contract since the one with Adelphia, its pre-vious cable provider, expired in 2004.

As part of the negotiations with Comcast, the town final-ized its counter proposal in December, but it was not sub-mitted to the cable company until March, said Kearney. The town has not heard back from Comcast yet, Kearney added.

Selectmen Chairman Bet-sy Sullivan wondered if the town’s negotiations with Veri-zon would have an impact on the contract with Comcast.

“Comcast seems to be dragging its feet to see what we do with Verizon,” she said.

Town Manager Richard MacDonald agreed this could be the case, however he said the main negotiator for Com-cast was laid off, so that could be a reason for the delay.

Cable competition heats up

The Duxbury Rug Hookers are completing their eighth rug for the benefit of the Alden Kindred. This year the rug is an

image of the Alden House hearth. The rug will be on exhibit in the Alden House Gift Shop until the annual meeting in August, at which time the winning raffle ticket will be drawn. Raffle tickets are $5 a piece or three for $10 and may be bought at the gift shop. It is expected that the sale of raffle tickets over the past years (and including this year) will total over $10,000.

The Alden House rug is a cooperative project of the Duxbury Rug Hookers. This year the project was headed up by Laurie Sy-bertz and the design of the hearth was drawn by Eloise Doyle.

Ann Gustavson, one of the Duxbury Rug Hookers, is an Al-den descendant and it was her idea to use the Alden Barn as a gathering place once a month for the rug hookers. In exchange, the women hook one rug a year for the Alden Kindred to raffle off at their annual meeting. The rugs are hooked of pure wool cloth – often old clothes or blankets – which is dyed as needed for colors in the rug, cut into strips and hooked into a linen foun-dation.

The Duxbury Rug Hookers are: Arlene Anderson, Shel-by Chapdelaine, Carol Chapman, Joyce Coulter, Dottie Col-lins, Eloise Doyle, Pauline Geishecker, Ann Gustavson, Anne Kelly, Beverly King, Carol Loring, Priscilla MacCallum, Eve Makowski, Maddie Merrifield, Anna O’Leary, Pam Pelletier, Jeanne Quinzani, Olga Rothschild, Chris Ryan, Laurie Sybertz, Lanci Valentine.

The Duxbury Rug Hookers will make a formal presentation of the rug to the Alden Kindred on Tuesday, June 2, at noon at the Alden Barn. The public is invited to attend.

Charles Sager received the honor of Good Citizen for Duxbury High School from Dot Kelly, Duxbury Chapter DAR Good Citizen Chairperson.

Members of the Duxbury Police Department accompa-nied the family of Duxbury Police Officer Mel Dyer to an annual ceremony held in Wash-ington, D.C. to honor fallen officers. Dyer was struck by a motor vehicle while directing traffic at the Marshfield Fair, succumbing to his injuries on August 25 of last year.

In 1962, President John F.

Kennedy declared May 15 Po-lice Memorial, a day set aside to pay tribute to officers killed in the line of duty. The first ceremony was held 28 years ago with just over 100 people in attendance. This year’s event had about 25,000 peo-ple in attendance with United States Attorney General Eric H. Holder, Jr. as guest speaker. Singer Patti Labelle gave a

very moving vocal tribute. Mel Dyer’s wife, Bonnie,

their son Michael and daugh-ter Melissa took part in the ceremony and Duxbury Police Chief Mark DeLuca had the honor of escorting the fam-ily during the services. Mel’s name has been added to the wall at the Police Memorial.

The family of fallen Duxbury Police Officer Mel Dyer asked members of the Duxbury Police to accompany them to an annual ceremony held in Washington, D.C. to honor fallen officers.

Tide and time wait for no man, as the saying goes, and Duxbury Beach Triathlon or-ganizers are not immune to the inconsistencies of the chang-ing tides from year to year when planning their event.

The tides have wrought changes both to the date of the triathlon and to the swimming course, organizer Brian Noyes told the Board of Selectmen recently.

The eighth annual triath-lon will be held at 8 a.m. on Saturday, Sept. 26. Last year it was held on Sunday, Sept. 27, at 10:30 a.m.

The triathlon consists of a quarter-mile swim in Dux-bury bay, a ten-mile bike race around town, and a three-mile run around Powder Point, ending at the beach. The en-tire event takes approximately two-hours, and should end at 10 a.m.

Due to the very early high tide on the day of the event, Noyes said that participants will not swim across the bay parallel to the Powder Point bridge as they did last year. Instead, they will begin north of the main parking lot, then travel south in a half-circle course, somewhat parallel to the shore, exiting in front of the bridge.

Like last year, the Powder Point Bridge will be closed to traffic during the entire race so participants can begin and end at the beach.

Noyes said that last year

480 people participated, al-though the event was ap-proved for 650 individuals and 50 teams. The number of entrants allowed will remain the same this year. Selectmen allowed it to increase by 50

over the previous year.Selectmen approved the

event permit for the triathlon with ten conditions, including hiring five firefighers/EMTs to be on site during the race.

Carol Reeves’ independentspirit and engagingpersonality are apparent toeveryone she meets. Nowresiding at Allerton House atThe Village at Duxbury,Carol’s life has always beeninspiring. A spirited anddecisive only child, Carolgraduated from juniorcollege and began workingfor The Grace Line cruiseships. There she met herfuture husband, Hugh. Aftermarrying in 1941, the couplewelcomed daughters Denaand Christine. Hugh’s careerled to moves to Alabama,New York and New Jersey.When Hugh retired in 1994,the Reeves purchased a con-dominium in Connecticut,where Carol continued tolive for several years evenafter Hugh’s death. During those years, Carol’s independ-ence remained. Her adventures included a cruise to Italyand a tour of Athens—all on her own.

After Dena’s family settled in Pembroke, Carol began toinvestigate retirement communities on the South Shore.A tour of Welch Healthcare & Retirement Group’s seniorliving community, The Village at Duxbury, convinced herto purchase a unit and move to Duxbury in 2002—just 10minutes away from Dena. This year, Welch Healthcare &Retirement Group celebrates its 60th anniversary, withfour generations of the Welch family involved in theplanning, management and day-to-day provision of anintegrated continuum of services from senior residentialhousing to post-acute care. Carol says after taking her tour,she announced, “I’m moving to Duxbury!” Carol lovedher new home, enjoying the unique blend of the privacyof her own home and the camaraderie she developed withothers in the community.

2007 brought new challenges to Carol’s life. A bad fallcaused a blood clot in her brain that required immediatesurgery. The clot led to a stroke leaving Carol unable to walkor talk, but once again, her strength and determinationshone through. After the surgery, she went to Bay PathRehabilitation & Nursing Center, also owned and operatedby Welch Healthcare & Retirement Group. There she par-ticipated in daily physical and speech rehabilitation for sixmonths. Then she was ready to come back to The Village

something, they always respond with a smile, saying, ‘SureCarol. Anything you want!’”

Carol continues to stay busy and active. You may see herout and about at the local mall checking out the blousesand shoes at JC Penney, or catching a ride from AllertonHouse to the grocery store, nail salon or CVS. Fellowresidents can say hello when she frequents the community’sconvenience store or hair salon. Best of all, she continuesto socialize with old friends she met when she first movedto The Village at Duxbury because of the close proximityof the Allerton House apartment-homes to The Villageresidences.

Time at her Allerton House home is enjoyable for Carol, too.She prefers to prepare her own breakfast in the morningwhile enjoying the magnificent view of the community’sbeautifully landscaped courtyard. The view inside isequally impressive, personalized with Carol’s original art-work including pastels, watercolors and charcoal drawings.As Carol’s personal life has transformed over the years, sotoo has her family. In addition to being a mother of two,she now is a grandmother of four and great-grandmotherof one. Her second great-grandchild is on the way!

The Best Auto Collision CenterYou’ll Find by Accident!

By david Cutler

Warren Buffet, the billionaire from Omaha, Nebras-ka,, once said if you take the high road on Wall Street you won’t run into much traffic.

That is a sentiment one would suspect that Doug Fries-en, the architect from Duxbury, would share even though Buf-fett’s exact words don’t show up in the pages of his (Friesen’s) new book, “The Age of Entitle-ment.”

Being an architect, if not a terribly busy one in our existing economic climes, Mr. Friesen does not proclaim himself to be a financial wizard. But architect or no, he can write with consid-erable skill and in this, his first book, he offers up an engaging explanation of how we fell into a financial abyss and what we must do to climb out.

We hear the financial terms – subprime, derivatives, credit de-fault swaps – bandied about all the

time these days, but most of us don’t really know what they mean. Friesen explains them in clear, concise language. In fact he scores well in schooling us on the basics of finance and does particularly well in telling us what the Federal Reserve Bank is and why we should worry about it: Too much power vested in too few people who seem accountable to no one. “Shrouded in mystery,” is how the author puts it.

Mr. Friesen has few kind words for Alan Greenspan, or for government deregulators, the “Trickle Down” theory, Wall Street leaders – most couldn’t run a lemonade stand – or the big banks and the moves to bail them out while our own 401Ks crash. “Too big to fail,” he suggests, “means too big to exist.”

And bankers, he warns, have a stranglehold on both politi-cal parties and on all branches of government. And at the core of our financial meltdown, he says, “was a massive collective failure of morality.”

“The Age of Entitlement” also worries about the future – our unfunded liabilities of Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid (all crises waiting to happen), our behemoth national debt, our ever increasing credit card debt and commercial retail debt, our imbalance of trade, our crumbling infrastructure and the widen-ing gap between the rest of us and those relatively few at the top of the income pile.

Yet despite the subject matter, this isn’t a book of simple doom and gloom. The problems and their solutions are serious to be sure. But they are presented in an engaging, lucid way by someone who knows how to turn a phrase. Doug Friesen writes with clarity and style. His first effort is worth a read. Pick it up at Westwinds or Amazon.com.

Spring is finally here, so planning by the Interfaith Council for it’s Kid’s Camp-ership program is now un-derway! This program helps Duxbury school children with limited financial resources participate in a summer camp experience. Since many of the families we serve are sin-gle-parent households, sum-mer camp can often be as im-portant for the parents as it is for the children.

The Campership program depends entirely on the gen-erosity of donors from the Duxbury community. This

year more than ever, we need your help! Our goal is to raise $20,000. The deadline has passed and we are $10,000 short. If we can raise another $10,000 we will be able to send approximately 40 chil-dren to camp. If not, only 20 children will be able to attend. We do realize we are on hard economic times but some are worse off then others. Any size donation will help our cause.

In addition, we plan to help children of Duxbury families in need as they start their 2009/10 school year.

Through the Service Com-mittee, the TEACH, LEARN, CARE (TLC) Backpack Proj-ect will provide new school supplies for students of vary-ing grade levels. Your dona-tion will help our future gen-erations be equipped to learn and enjoy school.

100 percent of your dona-tion will go towards sending a child to camp and the TLC project. Please be generous and send your donation to the Duxbury Interfaith Council, PO Box 1161, Duxbury, MA 02331 or call 781-934-8388, www.duxburyinterfaith.com.

Police Department is running smoothly under Chief De-Luca’s leadership ... we are honored to serve the citizens of Duxbury but are concerned for its welfare in light of the Town Manager’s inappropri-ate actions.”

The dispatchers’ letter, signed by William Thomas and John Cannizzo, echoes the support for the chief.

“It should be noted that Mr. MacDonald’s attempts to undermine our Chief have and will continue to be futile,” the letter reads.

Both letters level similar charges against MacDonald, including that he failed to ne-gotiate in good faith, failed to support the chief of police, and that he enforces “selective discipline.”

As an example of this, both letters reference the fact that Recreation Director Gordon Cushing was not disciplined

after he was charged with several firearms violations. A felony weapons charge against Cushing was dropped, but he admitted to seven misdemean-or counts of improper storage of a firearm.

The unions claim that on the other hand, Robert Crow-ley, a DPW worker accused of driving drunk, was fired by MacDonald before he was even charged.

“It is very clear that if you are one of Mr. MacDonald’s ‘friends’ the rules of discipline are different,” wrote the dis-patchers’ union.

Chubb, who is the press information officer for the Duxbury Police Department, said on Jan. 20 that Crowley had been sent a citation for charges of operating under the influence, leaving the scene of an accident with property damage, negligent operation of a motor vehicle and marked lanes violations. On Tuesday, a clerk at Plymouth District Court said the Crowley was not in their system.

Crowley, who lives in

Sandwich, was driving a town-owned DPW vehicle back to Duxbury when he struck an-other driver. He was placed on unpaid leave pending an in-vestigation after the accident, according to MacDonald, and was terminated by the town on Feb. 3, according to the town’s personnel administrator.

The commanders’ letter also states that MacDonald’s failure to negotiate in good faith resulted in the creation of two new unions earlier this year.

“The Town Manager’s lack of fair and equitable treat-ment has pushed employees to unionize to protect their in-terests, which has resulted in substantial attorney and con-tract costs to the town,” the letter states.

Both letters allege that af-ter the creation of the unions, several non-union employees were given double-digit rais-es.

“This selective budgetary manipulation during a finan-cial crisis is evident and insult-ing,” wrote the dispatcher’s union in their letter.

The letter also references a September 2008 incident al-leging MacDonald “verbally abused” a female worker.

According to a filing at the Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination, DPW Office Manager Christine Smythe filed a complaint on April 1 alleging she had been discriminated against because of her gender.

The complaint names the Town of Duxbury and not MacDonald. However, Smythe alleges in her complaint that MacDonald came into her of-fice on Sept. 11, 2008, and yelled at her after he discov-ered a letter Smythe, along with several other DPW man-agers, had signed expressing a lack of confidence in DPW Director Peter Buttkus.

The middle school and high school handbooks were approved by the School Com-mittee on Wednesday, with only minor changes to last year’s versions.

The School Committee also approved the DMS and DHS school council plans, as well as the althetic handbook for players and coaches at Wednesday night’s meeting.

High School Principal An-drew Stephens said his school council is looking to tackle plagiarism and cheating next year, something he said has become more of an issue of late. He said the high school leadership would also take a look at the building’s tardy and chemical health policies.

When outlining his goals,

Stephens said many of the stat-ed initiatives were “in prog-ress,” and School Committee member John Heinstadt asked that any future plans include more clearly defined goals.

“Pick something you can measure,” Heinstadt said. “If you look at things without specificity, you can’t prove it to me.”

Other committee mem-bers encouraged more abstract goals.

“We have all kinds of quantitive numbers with test scores, and absentee numbers and trips to the nurse,” said School Committee member Anne Ward. “I don’t think you have to re-create the wheel.”

Heinstadt also asked DMS Principal Blake Dalton if he would consider toughening language about students wear-

ing inappropriate clothing in school, but other School Committee members said they were concerned about stifling freedom of expression.

Athletic Director Thom Holdgate also presented his department’s handbook to the committee on Wednesday, with few changes or alterations.

Holdgate said the athletic department is working with a concussion management ser-vice based in Pittsburgh. He said the school does not use the test to force students to ad-here to any particular course of action, but simply buys the test and lets the parents de-cide what to do next. He said 75-80 percent of the students in impact sports have had the test done, mostly the school’s younger athletes.

There’s a new animal in town. Recently three alpacas moved into their new home with the Bulman family on Depot Street. They arrived at the Bulman’s around Mother’s Day and are adjusting well, according to the family.

The alpacas have certain-ly been noticed around town because they’re not the typi-cal Duxbury yellow lab. But, like labs, they make great pets. Maura Bulman has loved al-pacas since she was a little girl and finally decided to try her luck with them. Everything is running smoothly so far.

“They’re not much more care than a dog. They just need fresh water every day and their hay needs to be checked and changed every couple of days,” Bulman said. Even scooping their poop is easy. They all go in the same area and it makes

wonderful compost which is a very valuable and organic re-source.

Bulman has three children, Jason and Ave and a foster child named Jaquarre. Amazingly, the alpacas are wonderful with children because they are very sweet and curious, Bulman said. But, most importantly, al-pacas actually prefer children because they are very timid by nature and feel less threatened by them. “They love anything at dog level.” Jason said. All together the Bulmans have three alpacas, one for each of their children. Although they don’t have official names yet, they are well on their way to becoming part of the family. They are trying to make the alpacas more comfortable and social by letting the kids hand feed them. This way the al-pacas will learn to trust people a little more. Jason may also participate in a 4-H club and is currently in the early stages of halter training them.

The Bulmans have also set up an appropriate environment for them. They have fenced in an area of their front yard that

includes trees for shade as well as a little handmade hut for them if they want to get out of the rain or extreme heat. Many people in town are a little nervous with the alpacas so close to a busy street like Depot Street. Maura Bulman doesn’t seem to be worried because alpacas are not likely to challenge a fence. They are herding animals that are timid and love to stay in one place. The fence was created more to keep other threats out because alpacas usually are kept with-out any fencing at all. “I’m more worried about having my children close to Depot Street.” Maura said.

Overall, the alpacas are a nice addition to the town. They’re friendly and make great pets. They are also not like llamas that can be very nasty, kicking and spitting. The Alpacas have this ability but will only use it if they feel extremely threatened.

The Bulmans encourage people to stop and say hello to the Alpacas because it will make them more social and trusting.

Jonas Bulman poses with one of his family’s three pet alpacas. Jonas’s mother, Maura, said she has always loved the animals.

favorite part, of course, is watching Duxbury’s finest.

“I like watching the police go by,” she said. “They [the current owners] are very nice to let me come down.”

Duxbury held its 124th annual Memorial Day parade and service on a beautiful Monday morning this week. A crowd of Boy Scouts and Cub Scouts, Girl Scouts and Brownies, young athletes, po-lice and firemen walked down Depot Street in front of a large, flag-waving crowd.

Honoring America’s fallen soldiers on Memorial Day has been a long-standing tradition in Duxbury. The first Memorial Day service was held in 1885, only 17 years after the first Memorial Day was observed to honor Civil War dead. The reading of the Gettysburg Ad-dress, given at the dedication of a veterans’ cemetery, and General Logan’s orders creat-ing Memorial Day on May 30, 1868, have long been a fixture of Duxbury’s ceremony.

The day began with brief ceremonies at seven of the town’s cemeteries and memo-rials, and ended with a fired sa-

lute at the veterans’ memorial in Mayflower Cemetery.

After the parade, a memo-rial service was conducted at the First Parish Church. The

featured speaker was DHS graduate and 21-year Army veteran Lt. Col. Robert Ali.

“Memorial Day reminds us that without patriotism, we would have no heroes to honor today,” he said. “Our words cannot hold a candle to the nu-merous sacrifices of so many.”

FROM POST TO PACK: Bryan Felty (Cubmaster for Cub Scout Pack 1776) accepts a sponsorship check from American Legion Post 223, presented by the Post Commander Leonard DiMuzio Jr. The American Legion is the Charter Sponsor of Pack 1776. Post 223 supports of the Cub Scouts and the youth of Duxbury through spon-sorships and community enhancing activities.

Many thanks to the First Parish Church for supplying the hot dogs to the Memorial Day marchers. They were appreciated by all!

Gil and Roberta MacNabSoule Avenue

I realize that planning and organizing, sched-uling classes, teachers,

and the logistics of getting all the students into their classes is extremely challenging. I also realize that to run classes, cer-tain criteria must be met that are above and beyond just class size. But I believe guidance and the administration should reconsider canceling the Rus-sian Language class in the 2009-2010 school year.

If nothing else our current economic situation has taught us that we live in a global world, and we cannot afford to be eth-nocentric. One just has to notice the programs, fully-funded by the state department to Russia, among other countries, encour-aging true international study, to realize how close the rest of the world has become. And this global education can start

in the high school classroom. It must start in the high school classroom.

While the traditional lan-guage programs are thriving, some of the best schools are looking beyond the “read-ing, writing and arithmetic” of French, Spanish, and Latin to Mandarin, Russian, and Arabic. Duxbury High School has the in-house talent and expertise of a fluent Russian speaker, Mr. Hilton. It is a shame to see the opportunity go to waste because the program has been slow in starting. Meeting the mini-mum criteria for enrollment, there should be no reason this opportunity has to go to waste again. The program must start from somewhere, only with the administration’s backing can it hope to ever grow and be suc-cessful.

As a Russian II indepen-

dent study student I am the only student currently taking Rus-sian this year. And I personally don’t want to see this program die out. Please do not let budget constraints and scheduling sna-fus get in the way of promoting an international education.

It makes a difference. In just two short years of exposure, Russian went from a mess of symbols muttered incoherently to a language for me. Recent-ly I was challenged to switch the news page of the internet from English to Russian and I shocked myself. It had seemed so much like book learning but there it was in the headlines and I could say it, I could read it, I could understand it. May we all have that chance.

Catherine PattinsonRogers Way

I have read with some in-terest a letter to the edi-tor from Philip Thorn

regarding water restrictions be-ing considered by the Board of Selectmen acting as a Board of Water Commissioners. These restrictions being considered are an example of political cor-rectness without appropriate science backing them. For ex-ample, if I were to prefer water-ing at 3 p.m., but was required to water after 4 p.m., I would shift my watering schedule re-sulting in no change in overall water withdrawals. To get the 65 gallons per day per person, we need to either add a lot of people (start working on that, prospective mothers!), change the number of days in a year (declare a new calendar?), or virtually eliminate excess sum-mer usage. Here are some ideas: shower with your clothes on thereby eliminating water

use with the clothes washers; eliminate all lawns and shrubs which might demand water during their growing season (gravel lawns?); withdraw all invitations for summer visitors because they use extra water; install outhouses which don’t use any water and disconnect toilets (winter visits might be shorter and the Sears Catalog may become more popular. Title V may be an issue here.); shower once a week; visit friends in other towns more frequently. I’m sure that your readers could come up with a variety of more effective ideas, and I would urge them to take up the challenge.

More importantly, if we are effective in promulgating policies which reduce our us-age down to the 65 gallons per day level, it will result in saved water relatively equivalent to a one quarter inch of rainfall

or less. There is a lot of water falling on Duxbury averaging some 58” per year, and our ex-cess usage is a very tiny piece of that. In the end, the environ-mental good of reducing water usage to this degree is unmea-surable, and will be unseen. At this rate, soon we will be like Bermuda capturing water from our roofs, and using it for our purposes. If we need to reduce state expenditures some more, I know of a good place to start...One Winter Street, the home of these regulators.

Monday evening, June 1, the Selectmen will be consid-ered this water ban. Come and comment. If you can’t come, watch us discuss this issue on cable TV, and write letters to whomever you wish.

School should restore Russian classes ———

Water restrictions are ‘politically correct’ —

Duxbury’s Memorial Day activities are always a highlight of the summer. The parade and memorial service at First Parish Church are the perfect

combination of celebration and solemnity. This town has a great respect for those who have served their country in the various branches of the Armed Services, and that respect was on display Monday. The graveside services that bookmark the parade were poignant as always –– the silent gesture of placing a wreath on the veterans’ monument in Mayflower Cemetery is the perfect way to close out the day. The guest speaker for the memorial service at First Parish, Lt. Col. Robert Ali, was inspiring in his patriotism and devotion to his country.

Amid the pomp of the parade, many revelers may have noticed the wooden structure in front of town hall. This is a mock up of what a restored World War I monument will look like.

The monument was knocked down in an accident years ago and only recently discovered, and interested citizens have led a drive to restore it.

Although the group obtained some money from the Community Preservation Act, they still have to privately fundraise over $35,000 to finish the restoration process. They originally asked the Community Preservation Committee for the full amount of the restoration costs, but were told they needed to do some private fundraising to cover at least part of the reconstruction costs. To the Memorial Committee’s credit, they regrouped and have taken to their new charge of fundraising as vociferously as they pursued the monument’s restoration. These dedicated men and women are fully committed to honoring the only group of veterans

who don’t already have a monument in Duxbury.

The group is hopeful to have the new memorial finished in time for Veterans’

Day. The monument will list the names of all the Duxbury

residents who served during what’s often called “The Great War.”

The memorial committee is selling memorial bricks for $200. Checks can be made out to the

Duxbury War Memorial Fund, PO Box 2775,

Visiting Bay Farm on Monday, Gormley shared her ventures in writing, explaining what inspires her and what the day in the life of a writer is like. She offered insight into the re-search that goes into writing both fic-tion and non-fiction, and she showed the children a copy of a book draft that was reviewed by an editor, including pages and pages of comments and suggestions.

Well-known for writing biogra-phies, Gormley’s most recent book is

“Barack Obama Our 44th President.” She has also written biographies on Malcolm X, Marie Curie, Louisa May Alcott, and others. Interest-ingly, Gormley’s first-published book, “Mail-Order Wings,” was written when she lived in Duxbury.

Nature in highly simpli-fied landscapes is the focus of Kingston artist, Carole Bol-sey, in her upcoming exhibit, “Unbridled” in the On Their Own series, at The Art Com-plex Museum in Duxbury. In her exhibition which opens

on May 31 and runs through August 16, Bolsey interprets her subject through abstracted qualities of light, space, ges-ture and scale. An opening re-ception is scheduled for June 14, 1:30 – 4:30 p.m.

Art in nature at the ACM

The Art Complex Muse-um will offer students, aged 14 through 18, an opportu-nity to learn the basics of oil painting with popular artist and teacher, Laura Tryon Jennings, an award-winning New England artist. Her resume boasts nationwide exhibitions and her work has been collected by such prominent collectors as best selling author Mary Higgins Clark, Grammy award win-ning singer Bruce Hornsby, and several universities and corporations. She recently had a solo exhibit at The Art Complex Museum.

From July 13 through 17, the focus will be on

drawing hints. Students will learn the nuances of color theory, color mixing, com-position and the importance of a viewpoint. From July 20 through 24, students will receive tips on how to paint from photographs using dif-ferent techniques. The foun-dations of color theory, color mixing and composition will be taught. Both sessions are from 1 p.m. until 4 p.m. and offer a relaxed, encouraging environment with individ-ual attention to students of all levels. The $165 weekly fee includes materials costs. Registrations required at 781-934-6634.

Rotary Club newsMarlissa Gardner, a member of the Plymouth Rotary

Club, spoke to the Duxbury Club at the meeting at Duxbury Senior Center about the Community

Foundation of Greater Plymouth County. Gardner is on the board of the Brockton-based 501c3 foundation that was started in 2005.

Paul Brogna made a tentative report on the successful Moth-er’s Day Breakfast. This annual event is one of the Club’s mon-ey raising functions and contributes to the Club’s scholarships and other charitable endeavors. Paul paid tribute to the many merchants who paid for advertisements on the placemats.

On May 19, instead of the usual meeting, the club will travel to Wood’s Hole to the Oceanographic Institute where the club will tour the research ship Oceana after which the club will go to the Landfall Restaurant for dinner.

The May meeting of the Commu-nity Garden Club

of Duxbury’s Junior Garden Club was both educational and whimsical. The girls placed a “fairy chair” in their garden behind the Duxbury Free Li-brary, and surrounded it with their morning glory plants, which were grown from seed. As the spring and summer progress, these morning glo-ries will wind their way around the chair for a beautiful focal point in the garden. Addition-ally, members created their own herb garden consisting of basil, thyme, oregano and sage to bring home for their kitchen windows. These herbs will be perfect complements for sum-mer salads and recipes. Also, all the junior gardeners will be

entering the upcoming Flower Show at the Duxbury Free Li-brary on June 12 and 13.

Local woman to have drug charge dropped if she pays $100

A Duxbury woman ar-rested last August in a drug raid at a Pembroke home will have a Class B drug posses-sion dropped if she pays court costs of $100.

Brittany S. Green, 22, of Church Street, Duxbury was arrested on Aug. 15, 2008 just outside a home on Old Wash-ington Street after a police task force investigating drug sales in the area executed a warrant to search the home, which belonged to Dennis and Mary Ann Bailey.

When police arrived, Green ran out the back of the

house into the woods, where she later was found, accord-ing to police reports. A wallet with her name was found on the counter inside and a bind-le of suspected crack cocaine was found inside the wallet, according to reports. Green was arrested and charged with Class B drug possession and conspiracy to violate the drug law.

On May 7, a Plymouth District Court judge agreed to dismiss the possession charge if Green agreed to pay $100 court costs. The second charge also was dismissed.

Sometimes being on top of things, on schedule, means you have to be ahead of the

game. Once in a while, it means being way ahead of time. This time, for me, it means writing about a weekend that hasn’t happened yet. It’s just part of a culture vulture’s job, but once in a while a holiday comes along and the deadline creeps forward from Monday morning to the previous Thursday night. The biggest splash for this weekend (now past as you read this) is the Duxbury Bay Maritime School’s

Opening of the Bay. I’ll write about it, including the splendid Tall Ship Alabama, and I’ll leave it to you to guess whether or not I made anything up from whole cloth.

Now here’s where the story gets tricky. Remember, as I write on Thursday night, none of this has happened. I don’t know, dear reader, if the Alabama showed up at all. I wish everyone well, of course, and I have profound respect for Harbormaster Don Beers’ piloting skills, even without a diesel engine to back him up.

But none of it has happened. Your guess is as good as mine how it all turns out, except that you, dear reader, don’t have to guess. You already know. I’m at a complete disadvantage

WHAT’S GOING ON HERE?

‘The Season’ opens on the bay

By mike Halloran sports editor [email protected]

What a difference a day makes.

After demolishing Marsh-field High School on Wednes-day by a score of 17-3, the Dragons came home on Thursday afternoon to take on defending Division II State champion Plymouth North at Chandler Field.

While the Eagles (12-8) are nowhere near their per-fect (28-0) record of 2008, they still possess right-handed pitching phenom Joe Flynn, who continues to be one of the best pitchers in Massachusetts, if not in all New England.

The Dragons faced the fire-baller for the second time this year in non-league action, and this time he was even better than in the opener, as he threw a no-hitter against Duxbury and struck out 14 Dragons to earn the win.

Fortunately for Duxbury, junior pitcher Jeff Blout was also on top of his game, as he allowed just one run through five innings, the winner com-ing in the second when Phil Cash hit a two-out double to bring home Matt Walsh, who had singled and stole second.

Duxbury had few chances to score on Flynn, with one of their best coming in the bottom

of the first when sophomore Phil Sciretta reached second on an error, but was picked off to end the inning.

After that, Flynn retired eight batters in a row until Sciretta walked in the bottom of the fourth and was stranded.

The Eagles would get an insurance run in the top of the sixth when they manufactured a run on a single, a walk, a sac-rifice, and a sacrifice fly to the outfield to make it 2-0.

Duxbury was waving at Flynn all night long, as the Dragons could not catch up to his 88-90 mph fastball. Open-ing the sixth with consecutive strikeouts made it six straight

for the right-hander until Sean Cross grounded out to break his streak and end the inning.

Blout began to tire in the top of the seventh, as he walked the first batter who promptly stole second when the throw was dropped. The next batter followed with a bunt, and he also took off for second base putting men at second and third with no one out.

Dan Fratus stepped to the plate and crushed a double to right field that brought home both base runners, ending any hopes for a Duxbury come-back.

The loss leaves Duxbury with a 14-6 record, as they get

ready for this week’s Division II South Sectional play-offs that get underway on Thurs-day.

“I think we’re ready,” said Coach Barney Earle. “We wanted to play well this week and we did. We accomplished a lot. We had a great game against Hingham, hit the ball well against Marshfield, and then ran into a buzz saw with Flynn. There are a bunch of teams right around us with five or six losses, so I’m not quite sure where we will be seeded, but I hope we get a home game to start off.”

with nearly a week between my writing and your reading, so I’ll do what I can to solve my desperation: I’ll make a few things up. It’s too easy to call it “Barnacle’s Bottom Scrape,” so I’ll just call it “Barrett’s Bilge Water: Grounded in the Truth.” I’ll make up the stories. You pick the ones closest to the truth.

Duxbury’s season started off with a flourish with last week’s Junior/Senior Prom. The Clipper ran a giant spread, thanks to Deni Johnson’s photos. You’ll have to hack your children’s Facebook pages to see pictures from inside the dance. But Duxbury’s “Season” isn’t all pomp, glitter and dancing. The Duxbury Bay Maritime School’s Opening of the Bay festivities fall on Memorial Day Weekend as well. This year the topsail schooner Alabama serves as the centerpiece of the festivities.

Harbormaster Don Beers showed his usual calm intensity as he nursed the big schooner toward her berth at the town pier, only to be interrupted by a huge – and apparently highly trained – flock of seagulls. Unlike our all-natural local gulls, these bad boys refused all offers of French fries, goldfish crackers or burger buns, and went straight to their apparent assignments in the Alabama’s rigging, grasping beak-holds in the ship’s baggywrinkle to pull her toward her dock. Baggywrinkle is the nautical term for soft cloth wrapped around rigging, especially chafing points, to protect nearby sails.

Shenandoah’s skipper and crew offered only occasional hand signals and chirps to the hard-working gulls, and generally watched quietly from beneath their distinctively mottled umbrellas. When extra thrust was needed, several crew members were seen barking orders over the side, toward the water. In the general hubbub of gull cries and fluttering wings, their obvious orders were unintelligible, truly sounding like the barks of a dog or seal. Only when the ship was safely secured, and the gulls had scudded away toward the east-southeast could the barking be deciphered as actual barking directed at the similarly trained squad of harbor seals at the ship’s waterline.

“We used to just clunk to a stop wherever we were expected,” explained one deck hand. “Then we’d build a pier for the locals to use to get aboard. The seals are way cheaper than carpenters, and we save a bundle on permits. Oops. Mind your step. It’s a little deep around here after the gulls, but you look like a man who’s used to a lot of, well, fertilizer. Ever throw some? We could use a hand.”

‘The Season’ opens on the bay

Dragons’ DenSports Editor Mike Halloran • [email protected]


Here is a piece of advice for AD Thom Holdgate. Never schedule athletic events on the first two schools days after the prom. It gives coaches an easy out when things aren’t going well.

With a wry smile on his face, DHS lacrosse Coach Chris Sweet echoed that rea-son for his team’s lackluster first period performance last Tuesday afternoon in Dux-bury, where the Dragons bat-tled back from a 4-2 deficit to run away with an 18-10 win over Needham.

Coming into the game as the #13 ranked team in MA, Needham was expected to give the Dragons a run for their money. With plenty of size up front, the Rockets grabbed the lead at the 3:39 mark when Will Stenberg followed a Cam Bumpus goal to give the visi-tors a 2-1 lead.

Quinn Cully would score his second of the quarter less

than a minute later to tie the game at 2-2, but Needham re-sponded with two goals in the final minute to end the quarter ahead.

The Dragons recognized that their lackluster play had

them in jeopardy, so they turned it around in the second quarter with Cully registering three more scores, Hakeem Lecky scoring two, and Kane Haffey getting a single tally for an 8-5 halftime lead.

With momentum clearly on their side in the third quar-ter, the Dragons continued to attack the Needham net, scor-ing the first four goals of the quarter before Needham broke their string and made it 12-6 at the end of three.

The fourth quarter saw action on both ends that pro-duced a goal a minute, with the Dragons winning the bat-tle once again (6-4) thanks to a hat-trick from senior Andy Puopolo (4), and single scores

from senior captain Jake Har-vey, Haffey, and freshman Sam Sweet.

Duxbury ended its regular season schedule on Thursday night when it traveled to Har-vard Stadium to take on Bish-op Guertin of Nashua, NH, winning 7-4.

The Dragons jumped out to a 4-0 lead and apparently lost interest, as BG battled back to make it a game at halftime trailing 4-2.

Duxbury unloaded 34 shots on net with many of them hit-ting the posts.

“We had plenty of chanc-es,” said Sweet. “It just be-came kind of a sloppy game in the second half.”

Cully led the Dragons with three goals in the win.

“We’re still tweaking things,” said Coach Chris Sweet. “But at times in that Needham game we did show signs of where we want to be. Once the tournament starts the bench gets shorter, but we’ll have time to make some of those adjustments.”

The Dragons will be going for their sixth straight Division I state title and their eighth in the past nine seasons with St. John’s Prep, Billerica, BC High and Lincoln-Sudbury providing the biggest competi-tion.

The seedings for the MIAA Division I boys’ lacrosse tour-nament were announced on Friday morning, and the Drag-ons were awarded the #2 seed. They will play the winner of Haverhill/Acton-Boxboro on Saturday in Duxbury with the game starting at 1 p.m.

They say defense wins championships, but in this case DHS girls’ lacrosse Coach Sue Paull is pretty sure it’s her of-fense that will carry the Lady Dragons to the promised land.

“Three of our players were just named to the East-ern Mass. All-Star team,” said Paull. “Katie Griffin and Meg Muncey made the second team and Caitlin Burke got Honor-

able Mention. When you have three players like that up front who can score, you have to rely on them to get the job done.”

The Lady Dragons enter post-season play averaging 15.5 goals per game, while al-lowing 6.4 gpg.

While it’s hard to think anyone could make up such a difference, a closer look re-veals Duxbury has surrendered just over 12 goals per game against quality opponents: a figure Paull knows needs to be reduced in the play-offs.

“The most important things we need to do are win the draws and tighten up our defense. We also need to tight-en up our midfield defense too,” said a somewhat con-cerned Paull.

Having beaten Notre

Dame, 15-11, to start the week, the team returned home on Thursday to entertain Sand-wich in their final regular sea-son game of the year.

The team looked somewhat lethargic in the first 12 minutes of the half, as Sandwich forged a 4-3 lead on a pair of goals from Elise Kindria. Having

beaten the Blue Knights by an 18-4 score earlier in the season sent a message that even being close wasn’t acceptable

From that point on the “Goal-den Girls” took over, as Burke (5), Griffin (3), and Muncey (2) staked Duxbury to an 11-5 halftime lead.

Mimi Smith opened the second half with a rocket into the top left corner for a 12-5 lead, opening the floodgates for what became a Duxbury/Kindria match-up in the sec-ond half with the Lady Drag-ons outscoring the Sandwich star, 7-3.

Burke led all scorers with six goals, while Griffin (5) and Muncey (4) were right behind. Alexis Matthews, Smith, and Ali Violandi also got on the scoreboard.

Girls’ lax starts playoffs at home on Wednesday



First-year tennis Coach Jutta Rossano ended her ini-tial regular-season schedule in style with a convincing 4-1 win over Marshfield on Wednesday in Duxbury.

The Lady Dragons haven’t fared well against the Rams in recent years, but other then Michaela Dowd’s 2-6/3-6 loss to Leah Kelly, it was a day in the park for Duxbury.

Liza Thomas was able to handle Emily Henrekeen at #2 singles with a 6-2/6-3 win,

while Annie Gluskin went three sets with Lydia White, battling back from a first-set loss before taking a 4-6/6-2/6-2 win at #3 singles.

Senior captain Jane Mor-gan and junior Cory Tuck-er continued their dominating play with a 6-1/6-3 win over Taylor Koeleck and Ashley Fidler at #1 doubles, while Julia Allen and Charlotte Weil knocked off Olivia White and Julianne Selligan, 6-2/6-4, at #2 doubles.

The team will now get ready for the South Sectional Tournament that begins on Friday, with the pairings be-ing announced on Wednesday at the MIAA headquarters in Franklin.
