Engineer John Diaz outlines the Mass Highway Departments plan for a roundabout at the intersection of Winter Street and Route 53/ Kingstown Way. The intersection is being redone for safety rather than traffic congestion reasons, officials said.
As the former Tarkiln school moves closer to becoming a community center, a booster group has been founded to help raise money for the buildings renovation. Tag Carpenter, who is chairman of the Tarkiln Study Committee, will also serve as the vice chairman of the Friends of Tarkiln.

Duxbury Senior Center receives accreditationuxbury Senior Center has been awarded national accreditation through the National Institute of Senior Centers. The Senior Center is the tenth in Massachusetts to become nationally accredited and is the 173rd in the country that has achieved this status. Our senior center has completed a rigorous process of an agency self-assessment review by a trained peer reviewer, said Joanne Moore, Senior Center director. Out of the 15,000 senior centers across the country only 175 are accredited. The accreditation process is a quality assurance program that examines nine different standards and required community involvement in the self assessment process. Those reviewed standards include: Community, administration, records and reports, fiscal management, governance, evaluation, facility, purpose and planning. An agency must receive a 75 percent minimum score in each standard to be accredited. Our Board of Directors
D
and staff were greatly involved in the self-assessment process in serving as chairs of each standard committee, noted Moore. We invited leaders in the community with specific expertise to sit on each committee. They were scheduled to meet and go through self-assessment worksheets and examine policies, budgets, files, operations, procedures and our facility. They made recommendations that have been reviewed and adopted in many cases. We began the process in January 2008 and completed the 328 -page self-assessment manual in March 2009. Dianne Stone from the Newington Disabled and Senior Center came to Duxbury on June 22 to review the selfassessment manual, interview staff and board members as well as participants and community members. Being nationally accredited is quite an accomplishment, said Moore. It makes a significant statement to our staff, board, participants, community and funders that we offer quality programs and provide them in a com-
fortable setting with accountability. We are very proud to have a team that took on this challenge and accomplished it! The agency will celebrate their achievement in a community celebration on Thursday, Oct. 22 from 5:30-7:30 p.m. Hors duvres and refreshments will be served. The Duxbury Senior Center will receive their official accreditation plaque at the National Council on Aging annual conference in Chicago in March.

private contractor perform asbestos removal on the building. Carpenter was to make the announcement of the donation at Monday nights Board of Selectmen meeting, but the meetings regular agenda was canceled in favor of an executive session. He estimated the cost of the asbestos removal to the town at about $12,000. Carpenter said the Friends of Tarkiln Committee is composed of neighbors, former users of the building and historically-inclined folks. The group has been meeting at the Senior Center every couple of weeks on Wednesday nights. Theres a need for it ... to carry on that tradition of community engagement at the Tarklin center, he said. Outside of the fundraising arena, construction on the Tarkiln building is moving forward. Since Town Meeting approved the use of Community Preservation Act funds to restore the building earlier this year, two requests for proposals have been sent out, one to repair the roof and one to rebuild the septic system. Both projects have been awarded, Carpenter said, and both came in below their original esti-
In addition to the friends group being formed, renovations at the building are moving along. Contracts have been signed for roof repairs and for the installation of a septic system, and construction is expected to begin at the end of October.
mates. Carpenter said some work has already been done on the former schools chimney, but construction wont begin in earnest until the end of October. In terms of the septic system, work involves digging up the front yard and the Tarkiln Committee doesnt want to do that until the Duxbury Farmers Market has closed for the season. The next big project for the building is interior renovation and ADA compliance work. The Tarklin Committee
is working with the architect who drew up the original plans for a larger $1 million renovation project that was eventually voted down. Its a different project now, said Carpenter. He said it will take about six weeks to update the plans, then the project will be bid, which will take another six weeks. He anticipates the building will be open and available to residents and community groups before Memorial Day.
Cemetery cleanup to beginIts that time of year when the Cemetery Department begins clearing the grounds of leaves. Fall cleanup will begin shortly and along with that is a reminder to families that the Cemetery Department will not be responsible for any memorabilia left at the graves that may inadvertently be blown from your lot.

Cooking with oilStanding before the oil selection in the grocery store can feel overwhelming. Scientific words beginning with mono, poly and trans swirl and blend with catch phrases about heat points, flavor profiles and heart health values. Prices vary, labels beckon, and your recipe calls for a mysterious oil with the perky name of EVOO. What to do? Which to choose? Below is a list of common oils and some suggestions on how to use them. Do remember that no matter which oil you choose, even the healthier oils contain fat grams and calories and shouldnt be over used. Olive oil: Popular with both nutritionists and cooks, olive oil is preferred for its health benefits and flavor. Olive oil is available in extra virgin (perkily nicknamed EVOO by Rachel Ray), virgin or regular. Simply put: virgin has the strongest flavor and is best for salads, dipping and anything where the peppery, buttery flavor can be highlighted. Its a little more expensive, but worth the extra dollar for the extra quality. Regular olive oil is ideal for medium heat cooking and is less expensive than virgin olive TO HONOR THE VETS: War Memorial Committee Chairman Joseph Shea talks to a DPA worker as oil. construction begins this week on the World War I monument in front of Town Hall.

In the business for many years, Kalil, the owner of Fine Home Renovation, has only recently begun blending his lifelong love of art with the business of shingling homes.

He eventually built a Bluefish pattern into the side of his home along the Bluefish River in Duxbury. Later, while working on another home, the homeowner asked him to place a striped bass design in the shingles.By Justin GraeBer, Clipper editor [email protected]
