A trip to Uganda was a life-chang-ing experience

for two young women from Duxbury.

A typical sight for the pair: A man, an AIDS patient in the advanced stages of the disease, is in a hospital in Uganda. He is lying on the floor on a trash bag because

The sun finally decided to shine on Holly Days. An omen for a better holiday season for local businesses? Perhaps, but on Sunday people were sim-ply happy to enjoy the day as a community event that’s fast becoming a cherished holiday tradition.

Holly Days is put on by the Duxbury Business Asso-ciation. It’s a day of fun, free events to remind the towns-people of the existence of local businesses, but it’s also a way for those businesses to thank the community, said DBA President Anne Antonellis.

“We’re trying to always give back,” she said. “It’s not

just what you give to us, but what can we give to you ... It’s a two-way street.”

Antonellis was pleased with the turnout as well as the weather –– rain has dampened a few Holly Days over the past several years. She said more than 70 people had taken ad-vantage of the free photos with Santa by 1 p.m. –– which is how she’s tracked the turnout in years past.

Has promoting the mantra of “shop locally” been harder with the recent rescission?

“I don’t know if it’s been harder,” Antonellis said. “Peo-ple just aren’t spending money anywhere ... In fact, people are making more of an effort to

Selectman Jon Witten an-nounced this week that he will not seek re-election for a sec-ond term.

W i t -ten, of Duck Hill Road, made the a n n o u n c e -ment Mon-day during the Board of Selectmen’s

weekly meeting.“I am not going to run for

re-election,” said Witten. “Just thought I’d say that early on.”

He declined to comment further on his decision.

In 2007, Witten defeated local businessman Shawn Dahlen by a 1385 to 1265 vote margin to win the open seat vacated by Selectman John Tuffy, who resigned after serving for nine years. He had previously served on the Com-prehensive Plan Zoning Bylaw Implementation Committee.

Duxbury’s town clerk doesn’t have high expecta-tions for the turnout in next Tuesday’s United States Sen-ate primary election.

Oates, who has had a knack for predicting turnout over the last couple of years, said that she’s only had a handful of people ask for absentee bal-lots, which is usually a good indicator of voter interest. Whether its holiday distrac-tions or something else (Oates blamed the Swine Flu) voters don’t seem especially invest-ed in the election, despite the presence of local businessman Jack Robinson on the Repub-lican ballot and the chance to pick Ted Kennedy’s heir on the Democratic ticket.

“We’re going to have the lowest turnout in history,” said Oates. “People do not appear to be interested.”

After Kennedy’s death in August, former Democratic National Committee chair-man Paul Kirk was appointed

to be a seat-filler in the Sen-ate. Oates thinks it’s unfair the state is asking cities and towns to bear the additional costs of a special election.

“I think it would have been better to just leave [Kirk] in office until the next election,” she said. “They could have saved some money.”

There was talk at one time about the state picking up the tab for the special election, al-though Oates said she doesn’t believe that will happen. She said in general, it costs Dux-bury between $9-10,000 to run an election. However, the state auditor has given Duxbury ex-tra funding for three additional polling hours, money that is generally available to town clerks if they ask for it.

In addition to the extra cost of a special election, Oates

pointed out another odd thing about the election, that surely was an extra cost to the state. In addition to the Republi-can ballot, with the names of Robinson and State Senator Scott Brown, and the Demo-cratic ballot with Massachu-setts Attorney General Martha Coakley, Congressman Mike Capuano, City Year founder Alan Khazei and Celtics co-owner Steve Pagliuca, the town clerk’s office received 300 Libertarian Party ballots –– ballots that were blank, because that party has no of-ficial candidate. Duxbury has 24 registered Libertarians, ac-cording to Oates.

Work on the Tarkiln Com-munity Center restoration project has progressed in re-cent weeks with the installa-tion of a new roof, the removal of asbestos pipe wrap in the basement and the construction of a new septic system.

These projects are part of the partial restoration of the historic Twin Schoolhouses approved by this year’s Town Meeting. Voters supported a $435,000 plan to make the building usable again, which included satisfying building code issues and making the structure ADA compliant with renovated bathrooms and new handicapped ramps.

At the end of October, lo-cal roofing contractor JT Ca-zeault and Sons Roofers, Inc., of Plymouth installed a new roof at Tarkiln, which came in at $22,900, well under the initial estimate. Company president David Cazeault is a Duxbury resident and he added extras to the building that were not part of his con-tract but were approved by the town’s Tarkiln Committee. Cazeault installed copper val-leys, all new fascia boards on the kitchen addition, new sof-fits, and new roof and flashing on basement stairwell cover.

Recently, Banner Environ-mental Inc., another Duxbury company, removed asbestos heating pipe wrap from the basement connector between the two one-room schoolhous-es. The Friends of Tarkiln, a volunteer group organized to help raise money for the build-ing’s renovation, contracted with this company and donat-ed the work to the town.

Frederickson Jones Con-tracting, who was the low bid-der on the septic system, be-gan this work last week. This project also came in under budget at $22,000.

The Tarkiln Committee is working with the project ar-chitect to assemble the final restoration project plans for the interior, which include new handicapped accessible bathrooms and interior and exterior ramps, as well as up-dates to the building’s systems and interior. The bid package is expected to be ready in De-cember, with construction be-ginning early next year.

In August, the National Park Service announced that the Tarkiln Twin Schoolhous-es, which date to 1871 and 1908, have been placed on the National Register of Historic Places.

A new roof, along with a new septic system, was recently installed at the Tarkiln building.

shop locally with small dollar amounts.”

While Black Friday is more of a mall thing, some local merchants do consider Holly Days –– usually held the Sunday after Thanksgiving –– the kick off of the Christmas season.

The Studio owner John Stanton said this is a week-end his store would be busy regardless, but called Holly Days a “wonderful” beginning to the season.

“It gets us excited, and I think it gets other merchants excited,” Stanton said.

Stanton is celebrating his 29th Christmas season in Dux-bury as a local merchant. He pointed out that he bought The Studio in 1981, during a re-cession. Many stores in town were shuttered at that time, he said, and he believes Duxbury residents are aware that’s what will happen again if they don’t support the local businesses.

“I think they want to sup-port the business community,” he said.

He said that while Holly Days may not be the financial windfall for local stores that Black Friday is to the malls, the support is important.

“It’s important for the business community,” Stanton said. “It shows them there’s an organization (the DBA) whose interest is in promoting local businesses.”

Stanton is also optimistic for the upcoming year, despite the bleak economy that’s exist-ed over the past year or two.

“Marcy and I think this is

going to be a good Christmas,” he said.

During Holly Days, stores open their doors, but there are also a number of free activities and holiday-themed perfor-mances going on around town. The Duxbury High School Brass Ensemble entertained shoppers in Snug Harbor, a magician enthralled children among the Millbrook shops, and free pony rides were of-fered at Hall’s Corner, among a host of other activities. Trol-leys also carted folks between the different areas of town so there was no need for driving.

“If parents want to have an outing with children, it’s a great opportunity,” said Stan-ton.

Around town, parents of younger children said they were mostly partaking in the free activities like orna-ment painting at Expressions or crafts at the Cleaner Spot. Some high school age stu-dents, however, said they were checking out what the local merchants had to offer.

“I think it’s different for different people, depending on the age of the kids.” said par-ent Susan Sousa.

People did seem aware that the event was put on by the local business association, however.

Antonellis said she was happiest to see the children en-joying the event, especially the older kids who were returning for their second, third or even fifth Holly Days.

“You know you’re mak-ing memories of what a good community is,” she said.

there are no beds. He is naked because he doesn’t have mon-ey for clothes, and the nurses are ignoring him because he doesn’t have money for treat-ment. Patients in hospitals in Uganda are usually taken care of by their family, but he is alone.

Rebecca Richards and Kelsey Jordan were working in the health clinic as part of a 10-week trip they took to the country. Richards had a large shirt she was planning on do-nating anyway, so she gave it to the grateful man.

“The man was so happy, the nurses were so thrown that someone would give the shirt off their back – literally.” said Jordan.

“You have a different per-spective now,” said Richards. “You see how huge the eco-nomic disparities are between rich and poor ... When you’re in the position where you’re able to do something, it’s your duty to do so.”

While in Uganda, Jor-dan and Richards were busy. They visited the orphanage built by Duxbury residents. They worked at a health clinic, helped out on farms, worked at a special needs school and did data entry for a women’s em-powerment center. The bulk of their work, however, was

AIDS education –– something that’s of vital importance in a country where the disease is ravaging the population, leav-ing many families parent-less and creating “child-led house-holds.”

The duo taught lessons to school children of all ages –– to some groups as large as 100.

“They knew what HIV was, but they didn’t know how they could get it,” said Jordan. The children had a lot of mis-conceptions about the disease, for example thinking it could be contracted from holding hands or sleeping on the same mattress.

They also did some tutor-ing to large groups in areas like math, English and com-puter use, an especially popu-

lar subject.“There were always more

kids than computers.” said Jordan. “They wanted to learn how to type.”

The two had been to Africa before, Jordan in 2008 with a group called Cross Culture So-lutions and Richards in 2007 with Eckard College. But they were both looking for another opportunity to volunteer, and came across the story of Dan Hall and Chris Blake, who had traveled to Uganda last year and worked with a group called the Uganda Rural Fund, raising money to build a new boys’ house at an orphanage in the village of Kyetume. The foursome met for coffee a few times to discuss their volunteer work half a world away before the girls decided to embark on the 10-week trip.

“I think it’s fantastic the younger generation has got-ten into this whole thing,” said Hall. “I remember saying I hope they’re not going to be disappointed ... but from read-ing their e-mails they were in-tensely busy.”

All four were impressed with the devotion of the stu-dents, many of whom come from such poverty they are often faced with the choice of food or school.

“These kids are going to stay in poverty unless they get an education,” said Blake. “Hope Academy [the school run by the Ugandan Rural Fund] is the first chance these kids have had to get an educa-tion that gets them out of sub-sistence farming.”

“There are so many de-serving students eager for the

opportunity,” said Jordan. Richards and Jordan and

Hall and Blake are working on separate fundraisers for the children of Uganda.

Richards and Jordan are organizing a shoe drive. Chil-dren in Kyetume are often shoeless, and can contract dis-eases and parasites through their feet. They hope to have a community shoe exchange in the center of the village, so people can bring shoes they’ve grown out of and swap them for new ones. They’re rais-ing money ($1 buys one pair of shoes in Uganda) that will help stimulate the local econo-my as well. For now, they are planning on raising money at the performances of the Nut-cracker at the Performing Arts Center, but they’re hoping to do more through the schools.

Blake and Hall are raising money to help cover school fees at Hope Academy. A year of school is $300, which pays for tuition, a uniform and lunch. They hope to raise enough money to cover 30 children.

Anyone who sponsors a student will get a chance to see report cards and letters from their student. Richards actu-ally had a chance to meet the girls she’s sponsoring while in Uganda.

“The kids are so grateful for the opportunity to move forward,” she said.

Get the chef in your life the perfect gift

By miChelle Conway, Clipper Columnist [email protected]

Home cooks, aspiring chefs and amateur bakers relish the thought of opening great gadgets and gifts over the holiday season. Here are a handful of holiday

shopping ideas guaranteed to warm the heart of your favorite home cook.

There are scads of cookbooks on the market and most cooks gobble them up as if they were novels. The popularity of the blog, book and movie “Me and Julia” has brought renewed interest in all things Julia Child. “Mastering the Art of French

Cooking” has long been a must-have on every cooks shelf and it is once again très chic to own a copy. However, do Julia a favor and seek out the book without Meryl Streep on the cover. With all due respect to Meryl, its Julia’s work and no one else should be on the cover of Julia’s book except Julia. A first edition of “Mastering the Art of French Cooking” would really cause your cook to boil over with excitement! “The Top Chef Cookbook” or the “Top Chef Quickfire Challenge Cookbook” will delight any lover of the Bravo Channel franchise. With recipes from the contestants, tips, hints and info on the chefs, these books are part gossip-magazine, part cookbook, but lots of fun and full of interesting recipes.

The latest trend in food-mania is board games. Foodie Craze is a trivia board game that tastefully entertains and informs. Test your food lover’s knowledge in such categories as Extreme Cuisine, Diets and Delusions or Too Many Cooks, to name a few of the creative categories. Foodie Craze is available online. No kitchen is complete without the perfect knife and ceramic blade knives are the latest in cutting edge utensils. While they shouldn’t be used to debone a chicken or tackle a rough and tough cutting job, ceramic blade knives will delicately slice through the softest tomato and won’t damage delicate herbs or turn them black when chopped. A smaller, utility size ceramic blade knife is a great addition to any cooks collection. Silicone boards are rapidly replacing wooden or plastic cutting boards as the preferred surface for slicing, dicing and chopping. Dishwasher safe, flexible for pouring finely chopped ingredients and wisely color coded, these boards are practical and affordable. They come in various colors to help avoid cross-contamination: the red board is for meat, the green is for veggies and so on.

Winter is upon us and so is the season for roasting meats. A Digital Read Meat Thermometer is easy to read and designed for the job. Break out the piggy bank. The last two items on the list are expensive but worth every penny. A Le Creuset 5.5 quart Dutch Oven will set you back several hundred dollars but will last for a lifetime and produce mouthwatering casseroles, soups, stews and roasts. Offered in gorgeous colors, Le Creuset goes from stove top to oven to the table and is on the top of most cooks’ wish list. And last, but certainly not least, a stand mixer will cost hundreds but is an essential piece of equipment. A stand mixer will make quick work out of large scale baking jobs, bread making and homemade pizza dough. Some will even grind meat and can be used for making ice cream. Hint to those of you who have me on your gift list – I don’t have any of these items in my kitchen! Have a delicious holiday season! for Men & Women

Selectmen Chairwoman Betsy Sullivan praised her colleague, saying: “John is an amazingly sincere and dedi-cated man.”

“He is a gentleman,” said Sullivan. “He has always fol-lowed his core beliefs. He is true to himself and has done what he thinks is best.”

Sullivan cited Witten’s organization of land-use sum-mits among town departments and committees as one of his greatest accomplishments as a selectman.

“He has effectively tried to open the channels of com-munication between various groups, such as the planning board, the ZBA, inspectional services, and conservation and these meetings have been very valuable,” Sullivan said. “He has also tried very hard as a selectman to not let land use issues just happen to the town

but to try to get the town to be forward thinking and preserve Duxbury the way it is.”

“I’ve learned a lot from him,” she added.

According to Town Clerk Nancy Oates, nomination pa-

pers for elected positions can be taken out at any time. They are due back February 8, 2010 with at least 50 signatures from residents. The town election is March 27.

Chief search committee namedBy susanna sheehan, Clipper staff

[email protected]

Town Manager Richard MacDonald announced a nine-member police chief search committee this week.

The committee will consist of School Superintendent Sue Skeiber, Sandy Salmela of the Personnel Board, Reverend Catherine Cullen, Chris Barlow, James Borghesani, Paula Harris, Sunny Steadman, Jerry Steinke and Phil Tortorella.

MacDonald made the announcement at the Board of Se-lectmen’s weekly meting. He said he had a hard time choosing only nine people from among the 23 residents who applied because they were all very qualified.

“This has been a very difficult process,” he said, thanking everyone who applied to be on the committee.

The committee will meet soon with BadgeQuest, the search company MacDonald hired to find a replacement for chief Mark Deluca, who left surrounded by controversy in October.

MacDonald said that BadgeQuest has received 29 resumés for the position in response to the advertisements it placed and that he expects more will come in before the closing date of Dec. 15.

Members of The Snug Har-bor Community Chorus have scheduled their popular winter concert, “Musicological Christ-mas”, directed by Roy Kelley, for 7:30 p.m., Saturday, Dec. 5, at The Duxbury Performing Arts Center. Come and hear “The Twelve Days of Christ-mas” as, most likely, you’ve never heard it done before. Other popular songs include “O Night Divine,” “You’re a Mean One, Mr. Grinch” and the tradi-tional “Christmas is Coming.” The cost for tickets is: adults, $15, students and seniors, $12 and for groups of ten or more, $10. Tickets are available at The Studio, Westwinds Book-shop, the Marshfield Star Mar-ket Courtesy Booth and at the door. For more information, snugharborcc.org.

John YoungConsignment Gallery


By SuSanna Sheehan, Clipper Staff [email protected]

Selectmen have been asked to consider sponsoring an arti-cle for next year’s annual town meeting that gives voters the right to recall elected officials.

David Lowry of Standish Street presented the recall pe-tition article, which he said was created by a law firm that specializes in municipal law.

Currently, Duxbury does not have a recall procedure.

“To not have any recall provision doesn’t seem appro-priate,” Lowry said.

Lowry said he felt that such an article would be bet-ter accepted by the public if selectmen presented it to town meeting instead of bringing it forward through a citizen’s pe-tition.

Selectmen listened to Low-ry’s presentation but did not make any decisions regarding sponsoring the article.

Selectman Jon Witten said this article made him “very nervous.”

Selectmen Chairwoman Betsy Sullivan, agreed, saying such a recall article “was not without peril.”

The draft article lists the process to follow to begin a re-call election: first, a registered Duxbury voter files an affi-davit with the town clerk that lists the name of the elected official considered for recall and the reason for the recall. This document must be signed by at least ten registered vot-ers and returned to the town clerk.

The clerk then issues cop-ies of blank recall petitions that must be signed within 30 days by five percent of the town’s registered voters. Duxbury has 10,935 registered voters; five percent of them equal 547, ac-cording to Lowry.

After the town clerk certi-fies the signatures, she gives it to selectmen who notify the official about the recall petition. The official can then choose to resign immediately or face a recall election to be held within three months.

The official under the re-call petition can choose to place himself on the ballot for the election to succeed him-self. If he is not recalled, he will continue to serve in his office for the remainder of his term. If the recall is successful, the official will be removed and the elected successor shall hold the office for the rest of the unexpired term.

The recall petition cannot be used against any official who has been in office less than six months, nor can it be filed against an official who has six months or less to serve on his term.

One important aspect to ensuring fairness in a recall law is deciding the correct the percentage of voters needed to

sign the recall petition, Lowry said.

“The key will be having a recall petition number that is large enough to discourage inappropriate recalls and not so large as to make the pro-cess unworkable,” said Lowry. “The balance is important.”

Lowry said there were both positive and negative fea-tures about a recall.

The main benefit is to al-low voters to have the option of recalling an elected official, which they currently don’t have, he said. Also, elected of-ficials will be made more ac-countable to their community and this will be measured dur-ing their term in office; voters won’t have to wait until a new election to show their displea-sure with the official.

In addition, a recall elec-tion would provide a way to remove a convicted felon from office in Duxbury. Currently, an official can remain in office even after being convicted of a crime, because there is no way to remove him.

On the negative side, with a recall in place, officials could be constantly worried that an unpopular or controversial vote will result in a recall elec-tion, said Lowry. Also, he said that special interest groups could abuse the recall law as a way of intimidating elected officials.

Finally, such a recall could cause officials to think twice before taking controversial positions and it could also in-

hibit people from running for election, Lowry said.

“I have faith in the integri-ty and intelligence of our citi-zens,” said Lowry. “I person-ally believe that democracy works and the right of recall should be decided by our elec-torate.”

Witten told Lowry he felt that a recall petition article would have more negatives than positives attached to it.

“My feeling is that a re-call is used as payback for bad votes,” said Witten.

He said he felt the three-year terms of Duxbury select-men were short enough that a recall petition may not be nec-essary. Also, he said the way the draft article was written, if enough signatures were col-lected to force a recall election, then “that means you have to resign,” he said.

If selectmen decide to sponsor Lowry’s article they will discuss it Monday night as all Town Meeting warrant articles are due in town hall by Dec. 8.

Thanks to everyone who... volunteered, hosted events at their stores, baked

cookies, made popcorn, did arts and crafts, rode kids on ponies, painted faces,

sang carols, and shopped in Duxbury!

Happy Holidays!Recall on the agenda?Trash fee hike floated

By SuSanna Sheehan, Clipper Staff [email protected]

The selectmen continued a public hearing on raising trans-fer station fees for construction and demolition debris. They are considering a proposal to eliminate the one free barrel of C&D and increase the per barrel charge from $5 to $7.50 each. Also, instead of charging by the level or heaping truckload, all trucks would be weighed and charged ten cents per pound. Construction and demolition debris is anything that won’t fit into a town trash bag. The town loses money in this area of the transfer station budget, said Finance Director John Madden. It costs Duxbury over $111,000 to dispose of this type of trash, which includes anything left at the take-it-or-leave-it area, also known as the “mall.” The town receives only $29,000 in rev-enues from those who pay to dispose of this type of refuse. Selectmen wanted more information on the impact of the mall items that must be trashed before making a decision on the new fees. There is no plan to increase transfer station sticker fees for next year.

In other business, selectmen: • Met in executive session to discuss employee grievanc-

es.• Declared a bonus shellfish season for oysters that can be

harvested on the first four Wednesdays in December. A shell-fish permit is required.

Duxbury Police identified two Plymouth men as suspects following reports of a dozen automobile break-ins over the weekend.

Plymouth Police arrest-ed Derek Marshall, 17, of Bournehurst Rd., Plymouth for receiving stolen property. Marshall and a second suspect Joshua Nelson, 17, of Long Pond Rd., Plymouth will be charged by Duxbury Police with multiple counts of Break-ing and Entering into Vehicle in the nighttime with the In-tent to Commit a Felony and Larceny.

The Duxbury Police De-partment received calls from twelve residents on Saturday morning, reporting that their cars had been entered and

items had been taken. Dux-bury police detectives were able to locate security video of the suspects, at the Indepen-dence Mall in Kingston, us-ing credit cards that had been stolen from the cars. Duxbury and Plymouth Detectives were able to identify the suspects using the video and some ad-ditional information collected by the stores. After Duxbury and Plymouth detectives in-terviewed the suspects and recovered some of the stolen property, the two men were ar-rested.

Most, if not all, of the cars that were entered had been left unlocked. This incident un-derscores the importance of locking unattended vehicles and removing valuables from them, according to Duxbury Police Chief Stephen Doherty.

Decorators needed for King Caesar Christmas

If interested, please con-tact Alison at the Society at 781-934-6106 or [email protected].

[The following letter was submitted to the Board of Se-lectmen during a public meet-ing. It represents the views of individual officers and not the Duxbury Police Union. - Ed.]

We, the under-signed full-time officers of the

Duxbury Police Department, stand together to publicly of-fer our support for Mr. Richard MacDonald. As town manager, Mr. MacDonald is responsible for making decisions for the benefit of the town. While not all of these decisions will be popular ones, we believe they are not made lightly but rather with great deliberation and con-cern for the best interests of the town and citizens of Duxbury.

In light of the controversy surrounding the latest decision to move the police department personnel files from the police station to the human resources department at the Town Hall, we felt it necessary to come forward and let it be known that we support Mr. MacDonald and the choice to centralize the files

for the integrity and protection of the information contained therein. Although some would maintain that the files should remain at the police station, we feel that they belong in the hands of the human resource manager, where there is a guar-anteed level of confidentiality.

While we recognize that change can be difficult, we believe that Mr. Richard Mac-Donald is extremely competent and has made necessary choic-es to benefit the town of Dux-bury. Our hope is that we can all work together through the

changes and restore the respect, professionalism and integrity that this town deserves.

Shop locally this holiday

seasonHolly Days, held on Sunday, was a wonderful

event. The weather finally cooperated after the rain last year, and families of all ages seemed to

really enjoy the activities such as ornament painting, photos with Santa and pony rides.

The turnout for the day was inspiring. People of all ages were in the streets

sharing hot cider with their neighbors, riding the trolleys and singing Christmas carols along with the high school kids.

The day was a lot of fun. But what shouldn’t be lost among the

holiday glitz or drowned out by the carols is the reason for the day. Held

a few days after the infamous post-Thanksgiving shopping day known as “Black

Friday,” where shoppers are lining up outside the big box stores at 4 a.m., Holly Days can and should be a rallying point for local businesses.

The festival is organized by the Duxbury Business Association, and all of the DBA members and President Anne Antonellis have done yeoman’s work making Holly Days a cherished local tradition. It was great to see the crowds, especially young families, enjoying the day. But after the ponies are back in the stable and Santa flies back to the North Pole to start working on everyone’s Christmas list, what remains are a number of local businesses, who need support.

Duxbury residents are, in generally, smart shoppers who make an effort to buy local when possible. As Studio owner John Stanton put it, “We’re lucky that they come to us first.” But the poor economy has been tough on everyone –– so it’s worth a reminder that one doesn’t have to wait in line at the mall; there are bargains around the corner as well.

Perhaps the most important aspect of Holly Days is the strengthening of the ties between the business community and the residents of Duxbury. Amid the fun events were things like the child identification program at the Duxbury Student Union and a blood drive at the Senior Center. The community helps local businesses, and the businesses give back to the community. That’s a great relationship that will benefit the whole town, and here’s hoping it lasts for many years to come.

– J. Graeber

Dear residents, I firmly believe there should always be a

strong, provocative, and some-times antagonistic person or group that serves as a check and balance for its govern-ment. I also believe that the person or group should have the credibility and character to acknowledge the facts or find-ings even if they are contrary to its particular project or is-sue at any given time. To make this clear I wrote an article ask-ing the people of Duxbury to e-mail me any known misuse of taxpayers’ dollars through crony hiring, bogus raises and unqualified employees etc., for some articles I was going to write in the Clipper. There were no responses. Therefore in all

fairness to the process and with respect to my beliefs spelled out above, I would like to say in trying to construct my articles on government waste I have re-ceived no complaints of wasted taxpayer dollars at Town Hall. What I do walk away with from

all of this is, for a non-elected position, the town manager seat is much too powerful and would be akin to appointing a mayor. Wishing all a warm and safe holiday season.

No responses to search for wasted dollars

Police officers support town manager ———

Whither the blue bags?

Town trash bags seem to have disappeared from Food-ie’s. Another merchant, who had them, told me that the reason many stores are not carrying them is that

a minimum order of bags is $6,000 and that they make no profit on selling them. If those facts are accurate I suggest that the bags be stocked at Town Hall or the merchant be allowed to make a profit on their sale. The latter course is preferable, as I am sure Town Hall does not want to devote space or personnel to this enterprise.

On the outside looking in

I think that all representatives in Massachusetts should rep-resent all citizens of the state.

I e-mailed Mr. Capuano and received a reply that he does not take e-mail from persons outside his district. I also re-ceived two automatic telephone calls from Mr. Capuano to ask for my vote. Sorry, Mr. Capuano you don’t get my vote or the vote of anyone that I can persuade not to vote for you. You are not in my district.

Interfaith service was inspiring ——————

Many thanks to the Duxbury In-terfaith Council

for the inspiring Thanksgiving Day service held at Bumpus Park. It is wonderful to see the leaders from different religions join together to deliver a com-mon message. I look forward to the service as a meaningful way to focus on what is really important about the holiday season. Thank you to all.

Duxbury’s Joan Bunnell, former professional figure skater with the Ice Capades

and current Figure Skating and Learn to Skate Director at the Bog Ice Skating Rink in Kingston, tipped me off to this weekend’s Holiday on Ice Exhibition, jointly sponsored by the Bog’s Learn to Skate program and the Yarmouth Ice Club, which uses the Bog as their “home ice.” The show will include the Duxbury High School Brass Ensemble

playing before and after the skating, and during the intermission, along with a chance to give to the U.S. Marine Corps’ Toys for Tots program. A Marine will be at the show, not just a sign.

“Hot stove” usually refers to the baseball season after the World Series and before spring training, when wounds are licked and fans contemplate brilliant trades and disastrous errors. In my case, it might refer to my plan to write about figure skating again, rather like sticking out my hand to see if the stove is still hot. You may remember my delightful fiasco last year, in which I wrote about local skating without mentioning a single current Duxbury skater. Fiasco,

The Dragons walked away with a 17-7 win over Marsh-field last Thursday in the tradi-tional Thanksgiving Day con-frontation, hoping that their victory sent a clear message to the Rams prior to Tuesday’s Division IIA playoff game.

While neither coach felt any great desire to show what they had in their offensive ar-senals, the Dragons did show that running on the Rams was difficult, but moving it through the air was the way to go.

QB Kane Haffey opened the game with a 13-yard com-pletion to Matt Hallisey, and three plays later hit he the ju-nior for 26 yards, moving the ball all the way down to the Marshfield 20.

Haffey stuck with the air game after a pair of incom-plete passes and found senior captain Matt Savard in the right corner of the end zone where he jumped up and over Rams’ DB Matthew DiGrigoli to haul in a 15-yard TD pass. Junior Ben Startzell kicked the extra point and the hosts were ahead 7-0 with 7:10 left in the quarter.

Marshfield started with good field position on its first drive and moved down to the Duxbury 31 before a Henry Buonagurio sack caused a fumble and change in posses-sion with the Dragons taking over on their own 42.

A sack of Haffey caused the drive to stall, forcing Start-zell to come in and unload a 55-yard punt down to the Ram eight-yard line. Three plays later the Rams turned the ball over again, as senior Danny Buonagurio recovered a fum-ble at the Marshfield 23.

Sophomore QB Matt O’Keefe came on to direct the Duxbury offense and quickly hit Savard for a seven-yard gain. A pair of Bobby Murphy carries took the ball down to the nine-yard line, setting up a Hallisey TD catch on a slant over the middle. Startzell’s PAT made it 14-0 with 8:18 to go in the half.

The Rams would make their biggest offensive push on their next drive, starting

at their own 44-yard line and going for it on fourth down to keep the drive alive. A 14-yard run by DiGrigoli, an 11-yard pass from QB Stephan Sousa to Sean Griffith, and a nine-yard carry by senior Robert McNeil took the ball down to the nine.

On fourth and one, sopho-more linebacker Max Randall came up big to stop the Rams by inches, turning the ball over to the Dragons with 2:33 showing on the clock.

The Marshfield defense did a good job of contain-ing Murphy on the first two downs, forcing Haffey to go to the air. The junior dropped back and spotted senior tight end C.J. Cote running down the middle of the field where

he leaped to snag the pass over his shoulder for a 25-yard gain and a first down at the 35 as the half came to a close.

Neither team could get much going in the third quar-ter, so the Dragons maintained their cushion entering the fourth.

Taking over on their own 20 with 8:47 to go, Duxbury began to march, opening the drive with an 18-yard pass to Hallisey and extending it with a 33-yard bomb to Savard down the right sideline.

An eight-yard comple-tion to Henry Buonagurio, a 12-yard strike to Savard, and a 10-yard holding penalty put the ball on the eight-yard line

JUMP FOR JOY: Game MVP Matt Savard leaps over the outstretched arms of Marshfield’s Matthew DiGrigoli to snag a touchdown pass from Kane Haffey for a 6-0 lead.

because Duxbury has a busload of splendid figure skaters at all ages and levels. Delightful, because the resulting exchanges with parents and skaters opened my eyes to a world of fierce and beautiful artists, parents and coaches right under my nose.

New plan: I’m mentioning all the Duxbury skaters in the exhibition, with Joan’s help. In rough order by age (from about 5 or 6 years old through high school age), Sophie Early, Corryn Castello, Maura Anderson, Sophia Sullivan, Maya Lee, Caroline Kent, Liam Beatson, Lauren Willett, Emma Sheehan, Sophie McCann, Emily Gunderson, and Kelly Cronin. Two other hometown skaters who figured prominently in last year’s oversight, Alex Shaughnessy and Tessa Riccio, are still quite active but not skating in this exhibition.

Other Yarmouth Ice Club skaters will skate, too, including Senior Ladies Maddie Wunder and (from the Colonial Figure Skating Club) Kylie Duarte. I wrote about Maddie last year, and I actually met Kylie at last year’s Eastern Championships, where she medaled, with her partner Colin Grafton in the Novice Pairs class. In other words, I waved at Kylie and she waved back. It’s true! She looked right at me! Colin, Joan said, is taking SATs this weekend, but Kylie also skates as a single.

Part of my delight at last year’s fiasco was learning that U.S. Figure Skating is all one fabric. Senior Ladies are in the same class as the stars we see on television, separated only by their placement in various qualifying competitions. On Saturday at the Bog, you’ll also see brand new skaters, just out of their Learn-to-Skate classes and taking their first-ever bows before a live, public audience. This being New England, you may see the first performances of a future Peggy Fleming, Nancy Kerrigan, or Scott Hamilton. Moreover, this is an Olympic Winter Games season. You can use the live performance to tune your eyes and ears for the upcoming televised championships and the Games themselves in mid-February.

Like musical performance, or any athletics, there is no substitute for seeing figure skating in person. Watching the sweetest beginners or the fieriest seniors, you must be in the building to sense the power and grace of these young athletes. Last year I was taken by surprise by the caliber of the Bog’s skaters, and the links to the highest levels of the sport that run through Duxbury people like Joan Bunnell, Alison Arnold, Sidney Arnold and Chuck Foster. This year, I’m ready. Now you can be taken by surprise, for a mere $5, $3 for seniors and students, and free admission for children 6 and under. The skating starts at 11:30 a.m. and runs until 1 p.m., with intermission music by the Brass Ensemble. Don’t forget to bring a new, unwrapped toy for the Marine Corps’ Toys for Tots. Come early. The Brass Ensemble will start well before the skating, and there is a light snack bar at the Bog, so there’ll be plenty of hot chocolate to keep away the chill.

Dragons beat Ramswhere Haffey dropped back and fired over the middle, only to be picked off by junior Jonathan Fraser, who went 95 yards un-touched and into the end zone. Sean Griffith kicked the PAT and the Rams were suddenly back in the game.

A failed onside kick gave the Dragons great field position at midfield, where on third down Haffey hit Hallisey down the left sideline for a spectacular 34-yard reception down to the Ram 13.

After Duxbury failed to get a first down, Coach Dave Maim-aron called for Startzell to attempt a 27-yard field goal. Despite the x-rated taunts from the Ram defense and the snap-saving grab by junior holder Dan Fiset, the junior kicker split the up-rights to put the game away.

“We would have liked to get the shutout today,” said Maim-aron. “The defense played terrific. Other then some returns and a couple of third down plays they played spectacular.”

The Dragons will now get ready to take on the Rams on Tuesday night in the first round of the MIAA Division IIA play-offs.

“It looks like we stayed healthy and that was the most im-portant thing, so hopefully they did too and we’ll have a good match-up on Tuesday,” said Maimaron.

Dragons Winter Sports SchedulePreliminary schedule as of Nov. 30


Dragons’ DenSports Editor Mike Halloran • [email protected]

It would have been dif-ficult to script a better ending to the Duxbury High School freshman football team’s per-fect season, as the undefeated Dragons (11-0) shutout Marsh-field, 28-0, on Friday prior to Thanksgiving.

With less than three min-utes gone in the game, Dux-bury jumped out to an early lead on a 20-yard pass play from quarterback John Geary to Joe Guilfoile. Tucker Han-non added the extra point and the Dragons were on top 7-0.

Two drives later the Drag-ons marched to the Marsh-field eight-yard line, where Jon Hurvitz took a pitch from Geary around the left side and followed the blocks of Robert Kosharek and Marshall McCa-rthy into the end zone for his

16th touchdown of the year. Hannon’s PAT made it 14-0 at the half.

The Dragon defensive line of Owen Grey, Winston Schromm, George Ward and Kosharek, along with the line-backing crew of C.J. LoConte, Henry Narlee and McCarthy, stifled nearly every Marsh-field advance in the first half. When the Rams tried to pass, Colin Johnson, Pat Buell and Guilfoile were there to smack away most of the attempts.

As the second half began, Narlee set the tone for the rest of the game, as he muscled up the middle, then veered to his left and back again to his right, vaulting into the end zone to cap a 55-yard touchdown run. Hannon converted the extra point and Duxbury led 21-0 with barely a minute gone in the third quarter.

Marshfield then mounted its most successful drive of the evening, as it racked up three

first downs on its way into Dragon territory. However, Narlee intercepted a Marsh-field pass at the Duxbury 10-yard line and ran through and around Ram after Ram to the Marshfield 24: a 66-yard re-turn.

Starting the fourth quarter, Brendan Fitzgerald completed the Dragon rout with a 10-yard touchdown run up the middle. Hannon’s extra point made it 28-0.

As time expired, the un-beaten and untied Dragons doused Head Coach Michael Armandi and Assistant Coach-es Jim Mello and Chris Buron in a well-earned celebratory shower of Gatorade.

NO QUEStION: Rob Kosharek leaves little doubt who is #1

after the Dragons shutout Marshfield, 28-0 to finish the

season at 11-0.

The 2009 Duxbury Varsity Midgets opened the Old Colony League playoffs with an excit-ing OT win over Hanover, rally-ing from a 7-0 deficit late in the fourth quarter before winning in its fourth overtime.

The following week the Dragons returned to the friendly turf at Duxbury High School to face Silver Lake for the Divi-sion II Super Bowl. The Lak-ers were the only team in their league that had beaten Duxbury during the regular season. With the field surrounded by fans, it was an electric atmosphere for the 25 eighth-graders preparing to play their last youth football game. DHS Coach Dave Maim-

aron had made a guest appear-ance at the team’s last practice to remind them that Duxbury football players aren’t satis-fied to just play in big games, but they expect to win big games. Clearly, the “Cardiac Kids” took that to heart in one of the most exciting athletic events of their lives.

After stopping the Silver Lake running game with key tackles for losses by linebackers Teddie Bettencourt and Drew Dowling, Duxbury was forced to make an early stand after the Lakers completed a fluky 35-yard reception that bounced off a helmet into the receiver’s hands on the Duxbury 20. On a

fourth and goal from the Dux-bury five-yard line, the defense stopped running back Matt Pin-netti for a two-yard loss, and the Duxbury offense took over on their own seven-yard line.

On Duxbury’s first offen-sive play of the game, fullback Nick Marrocco took the hand-off and bounced outside to his left, sprinting 93 yards down the sideline in front of his own cheering bench to put the Drag-ons ahead, 6-0. A successful two-point conversion by Khai Perry gave Duxbury an 8-0 lead.

A stunned Silver Lake squad came back to the field hoping to get its vaunted offense (24

points per game,) on track, but the Duxbury defense was up to the task and again stuffed the Lakers’ offense on the next series. The Duxbury defen-sive line put heavy pressure on Laker QB Adam Gay, with the interior of the line getting great penetration from Johnny Con-gdon, Chris Mulone, Brendan Breen and Jack Herlihy, causing hurried throws that were easily defended by corners Wes Quin-zani and Sean McCarthy, along with safety Drew Hadley.

The Duxbury offense was clicking while running out of

multiple formations that kept the Silver Lake defense on its heels. Taking over on their own 25, the Dragons converted two huge fourth downs to keep the drive alive; the first on a 45-yard pass from Sean McCa-rthy to Drew Hadley. Later in the drive, after some punishing runs by Perry behind the block-ing of Ricky Lippard and Mar-cus Urann, Bettencourt took the direct snap out of Coach Rick Lippard’s version of the Wildcat and raced 17 yards on a fourth and 10 behind the block-

ing of Max Boucher and Tyrese Sutton, putting the Dragons on the 10 yard line. Marrocco and Perry pounded the ball down to the Lakers’ one, where Mc-Carthy called his own number and walked into the end zone to make it 14-0.

Silver Lake mounted a seri-ous threat before the half ended, with a long return putting them on the Dragon 30 with plenty of time left to score. A sack by Dowling and big hits on Gay by Marrocco, Congdon and Perry forced Silver Lake to punt the ball away, leaving Duxbury with a 14-0 halftime lead.

After a score and conver-sion by the Lakers, Duxbury’s next drive was stymied by a re-energized Laker defense, forc-ing a Bettencourt punt after a three and out by the offense and giving the ball to Silver Lake on their own 45. Two plays later they stood on the Duxbury one-yard line, with Reynolds tying the game on the next play with a one-yard plunge on a reel-ing Duxbury defense. With the scored tied at 14, the Lakers lined up to attempt a two-point

conversion that would give them their first lead of the day. Reyn-old’s dive into the end zone was stopped on a huge tackle by Herlihy to preserve the tie.

Despite the fact that Silver Lake had clearly outplayed Dux-bury in the second half, the key stop seemed to give the offense a shot of energy as they took the field for the kick return with ten minutes left in the game.

After a Duxbury fumble, Silver Lake took over on the its own 20-yard line and went back to its running game, methodical-ly eating minutes off the clock while moving down the field on a tired Duxbury defense. With the Lakers on the Duxbury 15-yard line, defensive coordina-tor Jim Burke used a timeout to give his unit some rest. Any signs of being tired or discour-aged were gone, as the players returned to the field to defend their end zone. With Perry mov-ing to corner and Andrew Baker taking his spot at end, the Lak-ers went for the win with a pass to the end zone, only to have Perry out-leap the receiver and break up the play. The next

big play on defense was truly a game changer, as linebacker Urann flew through the line and knocked the ball loose from the Silver Lake running back with a big hit, allowing Quinzani to recover the fumble. Duxbury now had the ball on the 15 with 85 yards to go.

After a short swing pass to Perry and a 30-yard run by Bet-tencourt put the ball just past midfield, McCarthy dropped back to pass and found end James Higgins over the mid-dle for a 23-yard gain, put-ting the ball on the Silver Lake 24.

Only 10 ticks remained on the clock after McCarthy spiked the ball at the line to stop the clock and give the Dragons one last chance to win in regulation. Dropping back in an obvious passing situation, McCarthy had plenty of time to spot Had-ley running a slant across the middle of the field. After grab-bing the perfect pass and tuck-ing it away, Hadley crossed the goal line for an incredible 22-14 Super Bowl win.

It all started back in 1989 for Tony LaGreca (DHS ’65) at the age of 42, when a new adult amateur baseball league started on the east coast of Massachusetts. Twenty years later he is honored with his induction into the MSBL / MABL World Series Hall Of Fame as their 21st inductee.

The Men’s Senior Baseball League Men’s Adult Baseball League is a national organiza-tion with 325 local affiliates, 3,200 teams and 45,000 who play organized amateur base-ball in local leagues. MSBL / MABL provides players age 18 and over, 28 and over and 38 and over the opportunity to play baseball at a competi-tive level. The MSBL / MABL World Series Tournament takes place every October in Ari-zona, playing on MLB Spring Training fields. The World Se-ries Tournament offers players age 18 and over, 28 and over, 38 and over, 48 and over, 58 and over, 65 and over and Fa-ther / Son to compete in a total of 21 divisions. A total of 322 teams participated in the tour-nament this year.

Still active as a player/coach at the age of 62, LaGre-ca plays his amateur baseball in the local Boston and Rhode Island chapters of the MSBL / MABL. Come October when the baseball season is com-pleted on the fields of Massa-chusetts, LaGreca has packed his baseball gear for the past 20 years and traveled to Phoe-nix, Arizona to play in the MSBL / MABL World Series

Tournament. As a player and coach, Tony has found success on the fields in the hot sun of Arizona. In the 20 years he’s participated in the World Se-ries, LaGreca has played in 18 final fours, nine finals and has won seven championships. His most recent championship came on Nov. 1 when he won the National Father / Son Divi-sion.

Being on a championship team at the MSBL / MABL World Series gives you brag-ging rights for a year, but leaves you with a lifetime of memories and the same hard-

ware or bling that an MLB player would receive for win-ning the World Series.

LaGreca’s success in the World Series is unmatched by many in the world of amateur baseball, leading to his induc-tion in the MSBL / MABL World Series Hall of Fame in October.

LaGreca believes that his generation will set new stan-dards when it comes to play-ing organized sports at his age and suggests that you just keep playing because the games you play are much more mental than physical.

The annual “Christmas at the King Caesar House” will take place Dec. 11-13. Teams of local designers will soon con-verge on the 1809 federal man-sion and fill it with elaborate decorations and holiday cheer.

On Friday, Dec. 11, from 6 to 8 p.m., the Society will host the Members’ Preview Party.

The general public may tour the house on Saturday, Dec. 12, from Noon until 6 p.m. and on Sunday, Dec. 13, from Noon until 4 p.m. Tickets are $10 for non-members, $5 for students/seniors and children under 6 are admitted free.

As always, the event will feature a Holiday Boutique of-

fering jewelry, crafts, and other unique gifts for sale from local South Shore artisans.

The ever popular “Story Hour with Santa” at the King Caesar House will be held on Saturday, Dec. 12 from 11 to noon. There will be no charge to attend this event. Santa will be there to tell a story or two

and to take photographs with children.

The King Caesar House was built in 1809 for Ezra Weston II and his wife, Jerusha Bradford Weston. Weston was known as “King Caesar” for his world-wide preeminence in shipbuild-ing and shipping during the early 19th century. The house

is a fine example of Federal period architecture, built with careful attention to detail and characteristic of skilled ships’ carpenters such as Ezra Weston employed.

For additional information, contact the Society at 781-934-6106 or visit www.duxburyhis-tory.org.
