Although Verizon is break-ing off contract talks in other communities around Mas-sachusetts, Duxbury is still scheduled to get FiOS Internet service, according to the chair-man of the Duxbury Cable Ad-visory Committee.

The issue had been a hot topic around town in recent months as negotiations with Comcast over a new cable con-tract have dragged on. Having FiOS cable TV and Internet would give Duxbury residents an option.

Bill Kearney, chairman of the Cable Advisory Com-mittee, said that Verizon had indeed gone through a list of communities where they were

scheduled to install the fiber optic cables necessary to bring in the service. Despite the fact that the company is still in negotiations with Verizon, Duxbury was not cut, Kearney said.

Although the town does not have an agreement yet with Verizon, Kearney believes that the company has already done too much work installing ca-bles and other infrastructure in Duxbury to pull out.

“They’ve spent the money already,” he said.

“Customer reaction to Ve-rizon FiOS has been tremen-dous. This is a highly success-ful business, and we want to ensure it is positioned for fu-

In the Massachusetts leg-islature, lawmakers are paid what many would consider full-time wages –– $61,439.76 for the 2009-2010 legislative year, according to Beacon Hill Roll Call –– yet senators and representatives are not prevented from having jobs away from Beacon Hill. In fact, some Duxbury legislators earn six-figure salaries in their

“other” jobs.Some say outside work

can detract from time spent on state business. Others say that having a career away from Beacon Hill can provide per-spective. Duxbury’s lawmak-ers were split on the issue.

Historic districts explained –– but doubts still linger

By dave palana Clipper staff

Duxbury residents turned out in force at the senior cen-ter Wednesday to see a presen-tation from Chris Scully, the director of local government programs at the Massachu-setts Historical Commission, on what a historical preserva-tion district could mean for Duxbury.

Scully gave a PowerPoint presentation on historical dis-tricts in Massachusetts and answered questions from the audience during his discus-sion. While Scully advised the audience that historic dis-

tricts are an important tool in preserving a town’s past, he

also said it is important for Duxbury to come up with a proposal unique to the town, that best suits its needs.

“The key word here is ‘lo-cal,’” he said. “It’s really up to you, the town of Duxbury, on whether you want to have this.”

Scully outlined the pro-cess in creating a historic district, an eight-step process from forming a committee to listing the district properties with the registry of deeds and explaining the area which a historic commission would

How to make Duxbury a more attractive town for busi-nesses is a complicated, nebu-lous question, and the Eco-nomic Advisory Committee is seeking to narrow their focus.

The group has discussed a number of different ways to make the town more busi-ness-friendly over the last sev-eral months, including mak-ing changes to the individual business districts in town and reforming the application process before the Planning Board.

Board member John Bear said he was under the belief the group’s mission statement had three prongs: making it easier to do business, enhancing the existing business districts and attracting new business.

Will all the business-re-lated topics under discussion, the group is seeking a tighter

focus, and is zeroing in on the individual businesses districts, including Hall’s Corner and Snug Harbor.

The group is leaning to-wards focusing their efforts on the Snug Harbor area. Chair-man Tom Tucker referred to the Community Development Plan created in 2004, which has some recommendations for the individual business districts in town. However, Tucker felt the plan was too focused on broader issues.

“Most of this is a little too large scale – it’s not specific enough,” he said.

“Or it costs money,” added Selectman Betsy Sullivan.

Some of the challenges facing Snug Harbor are filling vacant store fronts and dealing with overflow parking during the summer.

“What you’re doing is not development, but occupancy,” said Sullivan, pointing out the

post office there may soon be closed.

Other issues being tackled by the committee include mak-ing changes to the process of applying to the Planning Board and Zoning Board of Appeals. Planning Board member Bear has been part of the commit-tee for some time and ZBA Chairman Dennis Murphy just joined, although he was not present at last Wednesday’s meeting.

Tucker said he wanted to have a “general review of the process,” creating a study committee and looking at making some changes to the town’s bylaws.

“Maybe something can be done to facilitate the process,” he said.

Committee member Geor-gia Cosgrove said that the lengthy process of going be-fore town boards can often make or break a business that

has time and money invested in a particular space.

Sullivan said the com-mittee needs to approach any such reforms with caution, especially putting too strict a time limit on the process or preventing the boards from asking additional questions.

“What if somebody comes in and there’s a question just begging to be asked?” she said. “That’s the nature of vol-unteer boards. You can’t legis-late their mind set.”

Economic committee seeks focus

A celebration of RamadanCelebrate an evening of Ramadan with the Muslim Fami-

lies of Duxbury and the Duxbury Interfaith Council. The com-munity is invited to the Seventh Annual Celebration Dinner. This dinner will break the traditional day long fast in which the Muslim community refrains from eating, drinking and anything this is not of a good nature or in excess. It is a time to offer prayer to Allah. During Ramadan, the Muslim community asks for forgiveness for past sins, prays for guidance, and asks for help in refraining from everyday evils, and to purify themselves through self-restraint and good deeds.

This year the celebration will take place on Sunday, Sept. 13 from 6-8:30 p.m. at the Duxbury Senior Center. Al-though there is no cost, seating is limited and reservations for tickets must be made. The tickets are available through Eva at Razia’s, 35 Depot St, 781-934-6169 or at the Senior Center, Linda Hayes, 781-934-5774. Donations are appreciated and there will be a silent auction with all funds donated to the school Razia helped build, Zabuli Girls School in Afganistan.

If you would like more information or to assist Razia in pre-paring the meal on Sept. 12-13, please call the Interfaith Coun-cil at 781-934-8388, www.duxinterfaith.com.

En Plein Air at the Art ComplexNow on exhibit at The Art Complex Museum in Duxbury,

through Nov. 8, are local artists who work outside, directly in front of their subject. Their exhibit, En Plein Air, comes from a French expression which means “in the open air,” and is used to describe the act of painting outdoors.

Kimberlee Alemian of Cohasset has been drawing and painting since childhood. She received her BFA from Massa-chusetts College of Art having studied with George Nick, Paul Rahilly, and Rob Moore. She received her MFA from Boston University, studying with David Aronson, John Moore, Richard Raiseli and Graham Nickson.

This exhibit is full of color and spontaneity. A reception is scheduled for Sept. 20, 1:30-3:30 pm.


it does not interfere with serv-ing their constituents.

“If one is privileged to be a legislator it should be their top priority,” he said. “Having said that, I believe that outside experience is critical to mak-ing well-informed decisions on policy.”

Calter has a business he runs out of his Kingston home, RKP Capital Services LLC, which he described as “busi-ness consulting, executive coaching, mergers and acqui-sitions.” According to a state-ment of financial interest filed with the Massachusetts Eth-ics Commission, he reported over $100,000 of income as the CEO of RKP in 2007 and 2008. Lawmakers are only re-quired to report ranges, not ac-tual salaries, on the forms.

In 2008, Calter also put in his disclosure form that he was president of Sagamore Plumb-

ing & Heating Inc., which he described as part of the con-sulting business and some-thing that wasn’t permanent.

“It’s a role I’ll play for a year, maybe part time,” he said. The disclosure forms from the Ethic Commission list his income from this po-sition as over $100,000, and Calter confirmed that this was a separate income from the

RKP position.He pointed out that al-

though he has outside income, he has never missed a vote during his tenure.

“All other career priorities must come second,” he said.

“I think it’s appropriate and prudent for legislators to work outside of the legislature, however, that should never be an excuse for missing votes on the house floor.”

He said that when accept-ing work for RKP, he stresses to his clients that his legisla-tive priorities will come first.

Duxbury’s other state rep-resentative, Daniel Webster,

is a practicing attorney. Web-ster’s gross outside income was $100,000 or more in 2007, and between $60,000-$100,000 in 2008, according to the Ethics Commission documents. Web-ster said that during his first campaign in 2003, he was up-front about the fact he would continue to practice law while serving in the legislature.

He believes representa-tives and senators with outside careers bring a valuable per-spective to lawmaking.

“It’s important to have professionals serving in the legislature,” he said. “They bring different life experiences ... Far too often when we enact public policy, it’s tainted by the perspective of lawmakers who don’t work in the private sector.”

Webster’s business, Web-ster and Webster, is located in Pembroke. He owns 50 per-cent of the business, accord-ing to the disclosure form. Legislators are also required to disclose any gifts or reim-bursements they receive, or any securities or investments they have.

Webster said that being an attorney and owning his own business allows him to work around his time on Beacon Hill.

“When we’re scheduled to be in session ... because I have my own business, I’m able to adjust my schedule appropri-ately,” he said.

He believes his outside in-come does not affect his abil-ity to serve the taxpayers of his district.

“My record stands for it-self ... I’m in my seventh year in the legislature. My outside employment has never af-fected my service to the resi-dents of the Sixth Plymouth District.”

Last year, Webster missed 41 of 362 votes, according to the Beacon Hill Roll Call service, an attendance rate of 88.7 percent. The organization labeled him with the fourth worst voting record in the leg-islature. At the time, Webster said the missed votes were due to a family emergency (he missed 28 of the 41 votes over two days in July) and pointed

out that he had never missed a vote before 2008. He also said he missed some of the other votes due to traffic, as he commutes to Boston from Pembroke.

State Senator Robert Hed-lund, for his part, believes part-time citizen legislators work better than the full-time system currently used in Mas-sachusetts. He pointed to New Hampshire, where legislators are paid a small stipend of $200 rather than a salary.

“You have some attorneys that make outside income, you have to question how much time they’re committing,” he said.

He said he would like to see more small business own-ers represented in the halls of the Statehouse.

“What we have up here are predominately lawyers,” he said. “There’s just no diver-sity.”

Hedlund has some out-side income as a radio talk show host. He has been a fill in host for Boston radio station WRKO, from which he report-ed between $5,000-10,000 in 2007 and from $1,000-5,000 in 2008. He also made be-tween $1,000-5,000 each year as a consultant to Beneco, Inc., a company based in Scottsdale Arizona. He also owned 100 percent of the business HWO, LLC, based out of his Wey-mouth home.

Hedlund pointed out as one of the few Republicans in the Senate, he has more com-

mittee responsibilities than his Democratic colleagues.

“We’re spread thinner,” he said.

Hedlund also gets a lead-ership stipend of $15,000 on top of his legislative salary for being a minority whip. In fact, since there are only five Republican members of the Senate, they all receive some sort of stipend –– for example, Senate minority leader Rich-ard Tisei gets $22,500 extra.

Hedlund said that outside

of the chambers, where legis-lators are recorded in roll call votes, there really isn’t a rule for how much time lawmakers spend in their Beacon Hill of-fices.

“It’s how visible and ac-tive you choose to be ... it’s not really a uniform standard.”

Pam Wilmot of the watch-dog group Common Cause Massachusetts said her organi-zation does not have an issue with legislators having outside sources of income.

“While working as a legis-lator can be time consuming, it is not officially ‘full time,’” she wrote in an e-mail to the Clipper. “Outside jobs have the benefit of providing a broader perspective and additional ex-pertise. On the other hand, other jobs also can be a source of conflicts of interest.”

She pointed out that the U.S. Congress does not allow outside income –– although the base pay is much higher than state legislators.

apply in a district. Any home or business owner with prop-erty in a historic district would have to go through a historical committee to make, changes to visible exterior architectural features, structural alterations, demolition, additions and new buildings and structures, Scul-ly said.

He said a historical com-mission does not cover de-molition by neglect, as well as interior changes, landscap-ing, routine maintenance and change on not visible exterior features. He added that some commissions in towns across the commonwealth have added restrictions on paint color, but urged Duxbury against adopt-ing such a bylaw.

“It’s just so upsetting when I think a local commission might not get passed in areas with significant properties be-cause of paint color,” he said. “Because you run the risk that building is gone forever.”

He also outlined the dif-ferent varieties of historical districts in the state, ranging from the entire island of Nan-tucket to 250 single-property districts in Somerville. He added that districts could also go right through a plot of land or through a building, which is why he said it is important for Duxbury to come up with the best solution for the town.

“I really encourage every-one to be involved and for the study committee to hold meet-ings and have materials avail-able to make sure everyone is really well informed,” he said. “Eventually, this is going to come down to Town Meeting, and you want to make sure ev-eryone has had that chance to speak up.”

Residents asked questions during Scully’s speech, asking questions about abandoned properties, fake wood and plastics as well as voicing their opposition to the process.

Scully opened his presen-tation by asking the audience what word came to mind when he brought up historic districts, and while he got responses of “preservation” and “history,” he also heard “restriction,” “intrusion,” “fear” and “regu-lation.”

“[If my house was in an historic district,] I would pay the same taxes but have to live by a different set of rules,” Raymond MacFarlene said. “Now rules have changed again and the poor fellow that owns this property is burdened with additional fees and addi-tional scrutiny.”

Scully acknowledged con-cerns like MacFarlene’s, say-ing there is no way around the fact that some projects

will take longer. But he said the point of historical districts is not to prevent people from making changes.

“They’re not about creat-ing a museum at all,” he said. “It’s about a way of guiding some changes. All kinds of changes take place in historic districts, and it is important to recognize this is where people live. It’s layers that make the community so important, and construction can be compat-ible with a historic district.”

Scully spoke to a packed house at the Senior Center, as the idea of creating a historic district has sparked buzz around town.

ture growth,” said Verizon Re-gional Director Rick Colon in a statement. “So we’re shifting our current focus to honoring

our deployment commitments and building on the popular-ity of our product by winning FiOS TV customers where we have cable franchises. In ar-

eas where we haven’t started building or have only begun to build our all-fiber network, we will take a pause in franchise negotiations and re-evaluate where we go next.”

The process of negotiating a cable license is long. Veri-zon filed an initial application in January, after initially tell-ing Town Manager Richard MacDonald that it would take a few years to bring FiOS to Duxbury.

The town had the respon-sibility of completing the next step, called an “issuing author-ity response,” which the Board of Selectmen did in May.

However, according to Kearney, some wires got crossed and Verizon did not get the report right away.

“They went looking for it. They now have it,” he said.

He said his committee is expecting to hear back from the company sometime after Labor Day.

This is also when Kearney is expecting to hear back from Comcast in the next step of their negotiations.

Comcast has been in pro-longed negotiations with the town since the contract with now-defunct Adelphia ended in 2004. Sticking points in the negotiations have included the town’s ability to have public access channels.

“We will probably be the first town where franchise agreements will be negotiat-ed simultaneously,” Kearney said.

All cable agreements are non-exclusive, he added, so Comcast and Verizon would be able to offer Duxbury resi-dents a choice if agreements are reached with both compa-nies.

GUARANTEED CUSTOMER SATISFACTION

By mike Halloran, sports editor [email protected]

DHS Athletic Director Thom Holdgate announced that the opening of the turf field that was scheduled for Thursday’s boys’ soccer game with Marshfield has been post-poned due to construction of the track. The game will now take place in Marshfield on Thursday at 4 p.m.

The contractor installing the track was to lay down the fifth coat on Wednesday and remove the protective plastic on the field on Thursday. The excellent weather has allowed construction to move right along, but the track needs to cure after its final applica-tion, forcing postponement of the soccer game or a possible switch in home dates with Marshfield.

Holdgate is still holding

out hope that both the field hockey and football games can be played as scheduled on Fri-day, but has reservations about the lines for field hockey and all of the football lines being painted within the short win-dow of time between comple-tion of the track and Friday afternoon’s starting time.

Holdgate has a contingency plan for field hockey to play at another site.

As for the football lines, Holdgate feels that the DHS maintenance crew can place the hash marks on the field in time for Friday night’s opener with Bridgewater-Raynham.

Delay in turf field opening

FiOS still on tap, Verizon says

The turf field won’t see action for a few games as the track is installed.

Farmers market sponsors scarecrow contest

The members of the Duxbury Farmers and Artisans Re-gional Market have scheduled their first annual scarecrow contest to be held Wednesday, Oct. 7, during the market.

The contest is open to all area residents. There are three categories for contestants – children, twelve years and under, adult and business/organization/club. Craig Bloodgood, a sculptor whose work has been exhibited in various museums such as the Newport Art Museum and The Boston Children’s Museum and who is currently contemporary curator at The Art Complex Museum will be judging on originality, unique use of materials, craftsmanship, humor or narrative element and visual impact.

Entrants will bring their fully assembled, freestanding scarecrow to the market at the Tarkiln Community Center on Route 3A at 1 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 7. All entries will be displayed throughout the market and are to be picked up by their owners at 5 p.m. Information and contestant forms are available at the Duxbury Free Library, The Art Complex Mu-seum (Wednesdays through Sunday, 1-4 p.m.) or at the market. The market runs from 12:30-4:30 p.m. every Wednesday.

The Duxbury Ru-ral and Historical Society is seeking

volunteers for another archae-ological dig. Unlike the Sec-ond Meetinghouse Dig of last year, this undertaking will not be a full blown excavation. The “mini-dig” will take place at the King Caesar House. This time, no building foun-dation is being sought. The object is to sink a number of small “test-pits” in an effort to locate any shards of material that might shed light on what sort of materials the Weston Family had in the house.

The King Caesar House museum, represented as it likely appeared around the 1820s, is full of period objects, the vast majority of which have Duxbury provenance. However, few of them actu-ally belonged to Ezra Weston II, “King Caesar.” Very lit-tle is known about how the Westons furnished the house. Any scraps, shards, or frag-ments uncovered during the mini-dig will add to the So-ciety’s understanding of what the Westons had in the house during the golden age of the Weston firm.

The dig will take place daily from Sept. 21 through 27 from 1-4 p.m. Those interest-ed in participating are asked to attend an orientation session at the King Caesar Barn on Saturday, Sept. 19 at 1 p.m.

The dig is open to any in-terested individuals (children under 15 must be accompa-nied by an adult).

For more information, contact the Society at 781-934-6106 or visit the Society’s Web site at www.duxburyhis-tory.org.

Duxbury native and DHS graduate Vic-toria Fletcher, has

published her first children’s book, “You Just Have to Be-lieve,” with Tate Publishing.

When Melanie Powell was killed by a drunk driver on July 23, 2003, Fletcher strug-gledwith how to explain her best friend’s daughter’s death to her own young children.

She remembered the sto-ry of the “Water Bug and the Dragonfly,” an old parable used to describe the transition from life to death, and told it to her son and daughter to help explain Melanie’s death to them.

Seeing the comfort that it brought to her own children, Victoria was inspired to write her own version of the parable incorporating her strong faith and belief that death is not an end.

The book tells the story of Melanie, a tweetle bug, who comforts her best friend Libby over the disappearance of their tweetle bug friend CJ.

Soon, Melanie is pulled to explore life up beyond the grass that she has lived in where she learns first-hand that life does not end there, “You Just Have to Believe.”

The book is one of many inspirational and life-changing events to come out of Powell’s tragic death. “Melanie’s Law,” which enacts strict drunk-driving laws in the Common-wealth of

Massachusetts was passed in 2005 in Melanie’s name. The Melanie J. Powell Memo-rial Fund was established by Melanie’s family to provide educational and drunk-driving victims financial assistance to South Shore residents.

Victoria Fletcher received her Bachelor of Arts in Eng-lish from Bridgewater State College. She has worked in childcare for over 24 years. She resides in Weymouth with her husband, their five chil-dren, and numerous animals. She is an active member of her church, First Baptist in Wey-mouth.

Fletcher will be signing books Sept. 12 at Storybook Cove in Hingham and Sept. 19 at the Heritage House Chris-tian Book Store in Brockton.

The Committee to Re-Elect Tom Calter State Repre-

sentative will hold a 2010 re-election fundraiser Saturday, Sept. 12, from 2 to 4 p.m. at Indian Pond Country Club, 60 Country Club Way, Kingston.

The event will be the offi-cial kickoff for Representative Calter’s re-election effort; and it also happens to be his 52nd birthday.

Residents, constituents and friends are invited to come by to enjoy an afternoon of con-versation, refreshments, and possibly a slice of birthday cake as Representative Calter prepares for being both a year older and another re-election campaign.

During his time in office, Representative Calter has been an independent voice in the House of Representatives. He has never missed a roll-call vote and was one of only six members of his own party who stood in opposition to the re-election of Speaker of the House Sal DiMasi. Represen-tative Calter refused to accept a pay raise and refused to sup-port a sales tax increase be-fore passing major reforms in transportation, ethics and the state pension system.

Suggested donation for the reception is $30 per person. Tickets are available at the door or may be purchased in advance by calling 508-732-

0034. “I look forward to the

chance to meet with my neigh-bors and friends and enjoy an afternoon of their company,” said Representative Calter.

Camp Twin Oaks exhibit at Drew Archival LibraryThe Drew Archival Library of the Duxbury Rural and

Historical Society is pleased to announce a new ex-hibit. Memories of Summers Past: Images from Camp

Twin Oaks (1934-1978) showcases photographs and ephemera from Camp Twin Oaks, an African-American summer camp lo-cated on the Duxbury/Kingston town line.

The Camp was established by three sisters, Ella (Lewis) Woodbury, Beulah (Lewis) Fogg and Lillian Mae (Lewis) Hayes and their husbands. When it opened in 1934, it was the only va-cation destination on the South Shore catering exclusively to African-Americans. Guests travelled from Boston, New York, Chicago and even South Carolina to enjoy the hospitality of the Lewis sisters and to take part in summer activities.

The photographs in the exhibit are from the collection of Delores Nevils, grand-niece of the founders, and former em-ployee of the Camp. The exhibit is free and will run through mid-October. The Drew Archival Library is located at 147 St. George Street and is open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m.-1 p.m.

NEW PRICE!


A group of photog-raphy enthusiasts have decided to re-

launch the Duxbury Camera Club. The purpose of the club is to promote the study, under-standing, improvement and enjoyment of photography.

The previous Duxbury Camera Club was success-ful for many years and disap-peared only when meeting space became scarce. This new club will meet the third Wednesday of the month (ex-cept July and August) from 7-9:30 p.m. in the Setter Room of the Duxbury Free Library. The 2009-2010 sea-son will feature a monthly guest speaker for a “show and tell” or mini-workshop and, frequently, a critique of mem-bers’ pictures relevant to that speaker’s expertise.

“How to Get the Most from Your Digital Camera” is the topic for the first meeting on Sept. 16 with featured speaker Dermot Conlan, a highly re-

garded freelance, commer-cial photographer. A native of Ireland, Dermot moved to the United States in 1988 and spe-cializes in stock photography. His amazing work has been published in numerous maga-zines, catalogs, calendars, as cards, and in a continually ex-

panding series of motivational posters. Dermot will present some of his award-winning photos along with informa-tion on how the images were made.

Topics likely to be covered during the year include light-ing, finding and making pic-tures, and portraiture. Mem-bers will be invited to name additional topics in order to provide a well-rounded pro-gram.

For more information call 781-934-6804 or e-mail [email protected].. Mark Sept. 16 on your calendar and remember that photographers of all levels, whether they use point-and-shoot cameras or SLRs, are cordially welcome.

The Duxbury Free Library announces the start of its annu-

al Fourth Friday Film series. Our opening film. “Making Mr. Right,” will screen on Fri-day, Sept. 25 at 7 p.m. in the Merry Room, library lower level. Led by James Mandrell, library trustee and professor of film at Brandeis Univer-sity, the series is designed for the over-18 crowd and meets every fourth Friday. Film screenings are preceded and followed by lively discussion

led by Prof. Mandrell. Admis-sion is free and refreshments are available.

The theme of this year’s series is “Small(er) Films” and the complete list can be found below and at www.duxbury-freelibrary.org. For further information, 781-934-2721 x100.

Sept. 25: “Making Mr. Right” (USA 1987) dir. Susan Seidelman. 98 mins. A quirk-ily charming romantic com-edy starring John Malkovich

in a dual role as a scientist and the android he’s created, both of whom must contend with an ad executive played by Ann Magnuson. Also starring Ben Masters, Laurie Metcalfe, and Polly Bergen.

Oct. 23: Frenzy (UK 1970) dir. Alfred Hitchcock. 116 mins. Hitchcock’s penultimate film and it’s a doozy, with an all-star cast that includes Jon Finch, Barry Foster, Barbara

Leigh-Hunt, Anna Massey, Alec McCowen, Vivien Mer-chant, Billie Whitelaw, Clive Swift, Bernard Cribbins, Mi-chael Bates, and Jean Marsh. Quick question: when you set out to throttle someone, how do you match the necktie to the person?

Nov. 27: “Daytrippers” (USA 1996) dir. Greg Mottola. 87 minutes. Rated R. Some-times even a day trip with family can be a little too much, especially if it lasts for hours. On the other hand, who could resist a trip that included, one way or another, Stanley Tucci, Hope Davis, Pat McNamara, Anne Meara, Parker Posey, Liev Schreiber, and Campbell Scott?

Jan. 22: “Far From Heav-en” (USA 2002) dir. Todd Haynes. 107 mins. PG-13. A meticulous and loving recre-ation of a 1950s Hollywood melodrama in which the emo-

tional and socio-political un-dercurrents are allowed free play. Finely calibrated perfor-mances by Julianne Moore and Dennis Haysbert allow Dennis Quaid to shine.

Feb. 26: “Volver” (Spain 2006) dir. Pedro Almodóvar. 121 mins. Rated R. Anyone with questions about Pené-lope Cruz’s talent as an actor will have all the answers after watching this film. Almodó-var treads familiar ground and works with some of his favor-ite actresses—including Car-men Maura, Lola Dueñas, and Chus Lampreave—to create a film of genuine emotional resonance.

March 26: “Songcatch-er” (USA 2000) dir. Maggie Greenwald. 109 mins. PG-13. Although somewhat anach-ronistic, the music and Janet McTeer’s pitch-perfect perfor-mance more than make up for whatever is less than apt for the period. With Pat Carrol and Aidan Quinn, as well as a surprisingly affecting Emmy Rossum in her first feature film.

April 23: “Ma vie en rose /My Life in Pink” (France 1997) dir. Alain Berliner 88 mins. Rated R. A family with a secret that it tries desperately to keep under wraps. Eventu-ally, everything comes out—doesn’t it always?—and every-one has to make a choice about what is important to them and why. A subtle and sweet film with 13-year-old Georges Du Fresne in a remarkable debut performance.

May 28: “Next Stop Won-derland” (USA 1998) dir. Brad Anderson. 104 mins. Rated R. Who says that a mother doesn’t know best? Who bet-ter to place a personal ad for her single daughter in a local paper? Yet another romantic comedy with the advantage of terrific writing, outstanding performances, and a Boston location. Not to be missed.

Historic fears are misplacedNo one can say Duxbury doesn’t have a sense of

appreciation for its history. From the support locals give to organizations like the Duxbury Rural

and Historical Society, to saving sites like the O’Neil Farm, residents are are always willing to support preservation efforts. At public hearings and Town Meetings, we hear constant references to new developments “not looking like Duxbury” or being out of character with the town. Over the past several decades, Duxbury residents have fiercely protected the look and feel of their town.

One would think creating historic preservation districts would be a natural extension of this desire to preserve the look and history of Duxbury. Yet, a proposed historical protection district on High Street was defeated at Town Meeting several years ago, and a committee currently looking into creating a district (a location has not been finalized) is meeting resistance.

There are several factors driving these fears. One is the idea that Duxbury doesn’t need such protections. The town has already done a pretty good job keeping its rural nature intact so far. Why would we need the additional protection of a historic district? And maybe there’s some truth to that. But just because Duxbury’s managed to protect its look so far doesn’t mean it will always be able to do so. People here grumble every time a big, modern looking house goes up, but they stiffen up when bylaws and regulations are suggested that would limit that kind of construction. The cold hard facts of the matter are that it may take more than just words to keep Duxbury’s character.

The second fear is that folks in town don’t want the town telling them what they can and can’t build on their own property. But the reality is, there are already limits and restrictions on what one can and can’t do with a home or other property. There are already height restrictions, occupancy limits, set back requirements.

At the end of the day, a historic preservation district would only mean residents in that district would have to go before a committee to get approval for any changes. It would mean going before one more board, in addition to the zoning, planning, conservation approvals anyone in town already has to obtain. As always, Town Meeting would have the final say if this board started to overreach. The idea that a preservation area would be some major infringement of a resident’s rights is a little far fetched.

Nothing has been decided so far; the committee investigating hasn’t picked a location or even determined if such a thing is needed. But the idea of a historical preservation district is worth looking into. Let’s wait for the facts to come out before we make up our minds.

On behalf of the Duxbury Interfaith Council we would

like to thank all those who helped make our first back-pack, TLC project, such a suc-cess. Fifty Duxbury families were outfitted with backpacks and school supplies to start this year. Without your dona-tions of supplies and money we could not have accomplished this. This is a new project that will need to be funded annu-ally going forward. As always, it is the Duxbury community that the council turns to in or-der to help those in need. Each backpack filled with supplies costs the Council approxi-mately $100. If you have not

donated to the council yet, this is a perfect opportunity to do so. Donations can be sent to the Council at PO Box 1161, 02331. 100 percent of all do-nations is returned to the com-munity. For more information on the work of the Council,

contact us at 781-934-8388 or visit us at www.duxinterfaith.com. Again our many thanks to those that allow us to do our good work. It is appreciated.

Rev. Catherine Cullen, president

Harry Katz, vice president

As I tour Duxbury and visit these new developments with

large homes and beautifully landscaped properties, I have cause to wonder.

How many of these fami-lies will still be living here af-

ter their children finish school? How many of these families will remain in Duxbury to help pay the taxes to educate other children as others have paid to educate theirs? If they stay, will there be places for them to downsize once there is no lon-

ger the need to maintain their large homes?

Let us hope that our town planners have the foresight to plan for everyone’s future housing needs.

On Aug. 13, we discovered our house had been burglar-ized. Within a few minutes of our call to the police de-partment Sergeant Golden, Lt. James, Officer Thomas

and Chief DeLuca arrived at our home and a full investigation was underway. We want to express our sincere gratitude for the outstanding professionalism, courtesy and compassion displayed by our police department. Thank you.

Wind editorial spot on —————————

Thanks to police —————

When research-ing the ar-chives to find

something for this week’s feature, we came across an article published Sept. 1, 1999, about George John-ston, a then 66 year old Duxbury runner and cyclist, as he finished his 19th con-secutive Falmouth Road Race, and was preparing for the nearly 200 mile Pan-Mass Challenge from Stur-bridge to Provincetown.

The writer of that ar-ticle, Joe Reardon, was very impressed and inspired by George’s goals and aspira-tions for a man his age.

This August, ten years later at 76 years old, George participated again in the PMC, as he has for many, many years, raising nearly $7,000 for the Jimmy Fund. Congratulations, George! You continue to inspire us all!

FROM THE ARCHIVES

Hard to believe that in 1957 Plymouth County Electric Company had to advertise!

Your editorial on a town wind turbine was exceptionally

well written. The arguments for pushing ahead with alter-native energy are indisputable. Unfortunately, there are tough economics involved. This will change as momentum builds

and production costs come down. But the opportunity to have 90 percent of the survey paid for by the state should not be missed. It will position the town to move quickly when other state or federal monies are available to subsidize the actual turbine. It should also be

used as an educational oppor-tunity for high schoolers and interested adult citizens alike. As the Clipper says, let’s be proactive.

The Duxbury Interfaith Council, the Muslim Families of Duxbury and

Razia Jan will serve the seventh Annual Celebration Dinner on Sunday, Sept. 13 from 6 to 8:30 pm at the Duxbury Senior Center. There is no charge, but you must make a reservation and get tickets from Eva, at Razia’s in Hall’s Corner (781-934-6169), or from Linda Hayes at the Senior Center (781-934-5774). You can be a light in Razia Jan’s life by

helping her prepare the meal. She’s making a special trip from Afghanistan for this, and she can use the help on Sept. 12-13. Call the Interfaith Council at 781-934-8388 to volunteer.

I’ve learned a fair amount about Islam, Ramadan and the Qur’an over

the last few years. Sumbul Ali-Karamali gives a splendid explanation in her book, “The Muslim Next Door: the Qur’an, the Media, and that Veil Thing.”

Ramadan is one of the Muslim months from the lunar calendar. Fasting through the month of Ramadan is one of the Pillars of Islam, along with the daily prayers, a profession of faith, alms-giving and the Hajj (a pilgrimage to Mecca, if possible). According to Wikipedia, Shi’ite Muslims and a few other groups observe different numbers of

Soccer fans were so im-pressed with the way DHS girls’ soccer Coach Emerson Coleman orchestrated a state championship in his first year at the helm, they’d like to see an encore performance.

They just might get their wish.

With a slew of returning starters that includes 2008 Bos-ton Globe Division II Player of The Year Caitlin Burke, the Lady Dragons could well be on their way to being consid-ered once again as one of the elite girls programs in Massa-chusetts soccer.

Despite going 3-5-1 over the second half of the 2008 season and being named the 12 seed in the tournament, the Lady Dragons responded by winning six straight one-goal games to capture the Division II crown over Wahconah.

You couldn’t ask for a bet-ter way to start the season, knowing that a core group of players who weathered the pressure of the playoffs is back for another run.

“Since tryouts started I have been waiting to recapture that competitive spirit we end-ed the season with last year,” said Coleman. “But after our scrimmages with Ludlow and Winchester, I think we have it back. We met the challenge of two tough programs, and didn’t back down from either one. Now we need to do it ev-eryday because we’ll be a tar-get for all our opponents.”

When a team has a talent like Burke, it makes life easier for a coach, but adding junior Melissa Gavin up front gives the squad an advantage that

few opponents can match.“They really compliment

each other,” said Coleman. “Burke (24 goals) has a great skill set and plays direct to the goal, while Gavin may be the most technical player I have ever coached in my 30-plus years of coaching boys and girls soccer. Melissa will do whatever it takes to win, and isn’t worried who scores the goals as long as we win.”

In Duxbury’s 4-4-2 of-fense, junior Emily Gallagher and sophomore Madi Lawson will control the midfield.

“They compliment each other well,” said the coach. “They have an extremely high work rate which you need in the midfield and are threats to score. But their main objec-tive is to win the ball back and make good decisions with it once they get it.”

Sharing the midfield load

will be returning juniors Ka-tie Finocchiaro and Hannah Dwinell.

Finocchiaro got some play-ing time last year and learned a lot about the game, return-ing in 2009 with a very high energy level, quickness and unselfish play, while Dwinell was a regular sub during the title season and has a lot of experience, overlapping from the midfield and providing an-other offensive threat.

If there is one area that might be tested early it is the Duxbury defense that has had a complete turn over.

The graduation of Sarah Wooley, Tristen Chin and Liz Desmond was a major hit for a Duxbury defense that will now have to operate without veteran Lauren Grady as well, lost for the season with a knee injury.

Junior stopper Meg

Woomer returns after miss-ing her sophomore year with a knee injury, while junior Jess Williams returns in her new position at sweeper.

“Meg has a knack for win-ning those 50/50 balls and makes good decisions when she gets it. I think we are a center attack team, so we can decide to move the ball up the middle or hit the long ball for Burke and Gavin.”

Williams not only provides speed in the backfield, but also versatility and experience.

“Jess played a lot last year at outside midfielder, now she’ll have more responsibil-ity back on defense. She seems to feel comfortable there so far. One of the strengths of her personality is that she doesn’t quit and is all about making the team better.”

Another title in the cards?

READY FOR A TITLE DEFENSE: Members of the DHS girls’ soccer team are optimistic about their chances to repeat their Division II state title.

Muslims to share Ramadan dinner

continued from page one

Junior Devon Barr made the jump to varsity this year and will man one of the outside back slots, while junior Char-lotte Cipolletti and sophomore Sarah Jones battle for the other open backfield position.

“Devon is very athletic and was a center midfielder last year. There is no panic when she gets the ball in space, and she knows how to move it up field.”

While opponents may think they have a shot at denting the Duxbury defense, they’ll have to think twice about how to get

the ball past junior keeper Em-ily Brook.

”Emily plays at an excep-tionally high level, and you can’t buy the experience she acquired during our run last year,” said Coleman. “She made some incredible saves in our game with Winchester last week that had both sides won-dering how she did it.”

Sophomore Lilly Peterson is also expected to see some serious playing time along with senior Jackie Trevisani in the midfield.

While defending and win-ning another state title is sure-ly the goal of the Lady Drag-

ons, Coleman doesn’t want his team to get too far ahead of themselves.

“I think our biggest chal-lenge is the strength of our league. Hingham, Pembroke, Silver Lake and Whitman-Hanson were all in the playoffs last year. I think this area has some of the best girls’ soccer you’ll find. It may be a good thing that we get challenged early and often so we’ll be ready for the post-season.”

The girls will begin de-fense of their state crown on Tuesday when they entertain Silver Lake at 7 p.m.

Soccer preps for title defensecontinued from page one


It’s been some time since the DHS boys soccer program has gone into a season with great expectations: the mo-ment has arrived.

With 18 seniors on the 2009 squad, Coach John Tocci will have plenty of experience and leadership as he leads the Dragons in his third year at the helm, hoping once again to improve his team’s perfor-mance and record after a 13-7 season last year.

“Things are definitely go-ing forward, but not neces-sarily in leaps and bounds,” said Tocci. “I think this is the year we will begin to reap the benefits of this senior class. In other years, the kids would be hanging around waiting for me to show up and get things go-ing, but this group is already warmed up and into their drills by the time I get here. They are setting an example for all the future kids who play in this program.”

Seniors Dan Sangster and Tommy Drummy will return as captains to lead a team that Tocci says is deeper than any he has ever had.

“I never questioned the talent we have. I was just con-cerned if we would develop as a team, and so far they seem to be focused in that direction.”

In Sangster, Tocci has one of the top all-around players in the league, if not the state. A three-year starter and two-time All-Star, the senior is also a member of the New England Revolution Soccer Academy team and plays at the high-est level possible for his age group.

While Sangster is not a forward for the Revolution, he relishes the chance to show his offensive skills for Tocci as a striker, pairing with classmate Greg Leroux, who is the fast-est player on the team and the perfect compliment to Sang-ster’s ability to dish the ball.

Tocci plans on playing a 4-4-2 with Drummy and se-nior Morgan Dwinell running the offense from their center-mid positions.

“Tommy is our field gen-

eral. With his hustle and abil-ity to direct traffic, he makes things happen out there. Mor-gan is very similar to Tommy in that regard. He wants the ball to flow through him.”

Seniors Justin McElduff and Jimmy Landry will man the outside midfield, and Tocci sees bigger offensive numbers coming from Landry.

“Jimmy didn’t score much when we had him upfront last year, but he has a natural shot from that wing position that we think we can utilize and take advantage of. The switch seems to have picked him up and he is more involved this year,” said his coach.

A phenomenal defender is what Tocci calls senior sweep-er Pat Charland.

“Pat knows the game and is a strong defender with great skills. He’s the complete pack-age.”

Steve Blout brings plenty of size to the stopper position and stays within his abilities. A quiet player, the senior has learned what the position is all about and knows exactly what his role is as a defender.

Senior David Hemingway and junior Mike Gabrielle will manage the fullback slots for the Dragons, and Tocci says that the quiet Hemingway has really begun to establish himself back there by show-ing plenty of confidence in his play.

While Gabrielle might be a defender, Tocci is giving his junior the green light to ignite the offense.

“He fits in well with the other players and knows when

to drift out at the right time. He has played a lot of club soccer and knows how to read the field, so Mike knows when he can take it up front and at-tack.”

Junior Brett Sahlberg and senior Mark Brady are also ex-pected to see significant action in the backfield.

“Last year I put Sahlberg in there when we had an in-jury, and he played eight solid games in a row. I had no clue he could do what he did until he got thrown into the fire and took advantage of his opportu-nity,” said Tocci.

While the Duxbury coach is high on his defense, he knows it can come crumbling down with a sub-par perfor-mance from his goalkeeper.

After a year’s absence from Duxbury, senior Max Cote has returned from Sacred Heart and been tabbed the starter in net for the Dragons.

“Max may not be the most technical goalie out there, but he has great instincts and just seems to feel so natural in the net,” said his coach.

While Tocci feels his big-gest competition will come from Hingham, he also thinks Silver Lake will have some say in the league race.

“We don’t have a true goal scorer like Hingham, so our of-fense is going to have to come from everyone and it will be triggered by our defense,” said Tocci. “I’ll tell you right now we are going to be the best de-fensive team in the league and we aren’t going to let in many goals.”

REPEAT PERFORMANCE: Seniors Dan Sangster and Tommy Drummy flank Coach John Tocci in their second year as captains.

“Pillars,” but there is no disagreement about the substance. Also, the Qur’an does not specifically use the concept of “five pillars,” though each of the five practices is mentioned. The concept comes from the Hadith, the collected writings and traditions about the faith.

From dawn to dusk during Ramadan, Muslims abstain from all food and drink, including water. Of course, this does not apply to children, nursing mothers, the elderly, the sick or even to travelers. No one is expected to fast if it would be unhealthy, harsh, or stupid. It does include abstaining from marital relations (from dawn to dusk), but this does not suggest that there is something wrong with married sex, any more than there is something wrong about drinking water.

I tried it while I was volunteering at the Marshfield Fair, but only for one day. I started the morning with a cup of coffee and a big drink of water, but that was all until sundown at 7:30 p.m. Muslims are allowed to “stoke up” for the day by eating and drinking before dawn, within reason. By the time the sun was getting low in the sky, I was looking forward to sundown as if it were Thanksgiving. Sumbul Ali-Karamali, and every Muslim I’ve asked, describe the month as one of peace and nightly family feasting, with wonderful treats and meats. Of course, generosity to the poor is a central feature. The day’s fast serves to make everyone mindful of the plight of the hungry and the thirsty in the world and in our community.

The night of that first contact is celebrated as the Night of Power, Laylat al-Qadr. Celebrated near the end of Ramadan, it is a night when Muslims may stay up through the night, in prayer at the mosque or at home. Children, the young at heart, or the searching hope for a special insights or dreams on the night when many Muslims believe that teams of angels reach out to us from Heaven. Some sources say the exact night is, well, inexact and will fall on either the 21st, 23rd, 25th, or 27th night. One must watch for the night. Watch for what? The short answer: you’ll know in your heart, but look for that special light, a glow in the sky. Or in your heart.

A Tufankjian Family Dealership


Dragons’ DenSports Editor Mike Halloran • [email protected]


Like Pete Carroll follow-ing Bill Parcells, the 2009 Duxbury High School football team has big shoes to fill.

On the heels of a Divi-sion 2A Super Bowl win over Gloucester, the Dragons will be marked men in 2009 with-out many of the players that made them arguably the best high school football team in the state last year.

The second Super Bowl win in Coach Dave Maima-ron’s tenure has certainly generated plenty of interest in the program, as the Duxbury roster has 80 players and the freshman squad is carrying 60 players –– in what Maimaron calls possibly the best foot ball class in the history of the school.

While the numbers are there, it doesn’t necessarily mean there won’t be a drop-off in play.

“After we won that first Super Bowl, we went 6-5 the next year,” said the Duxbury coach. “We want to do much better than that this year and we hope to win the Patriot League title. But we need to stay healthy because experi-

ence and depth could be a problem.”

Seniors Matt Savard, Pat McWilliams and Bobby Mur-phy will captain this year’s team, but unfortunately Sa-vard suffered a concussion in last Tuesday’s scrimmage with Weymouth and could be out indefinitely, giving Maimaron a headache as well.

“Matt is probably our best player and the only returning two-way starter. He’s a foot-ball player who plays with in-tensity and goes full speed all the time.”

While Duxbury fans were accustomed to the cool, calm, and collective play of QB Sean Cross (Bentley) and running back Shane DiBona (Iowa), they’ll be getting their first ex-tended look at sophomore QB Matt O’Keefe, who appears to have won the job over junior Kane Haffey.

The 6’3” O’Keefe seems to have the overall poise of being familiar with the QB position and in Maimaron’s opinion is a better passer as a sophomore than Cross was in his first year a starter.

“He’s a smart kid and is still learning. He has some seasoning behind him too, while Kane may be more ath-letic, but has been away from the sport for a year.”

His one-year hiatus won’t prevent Maimaron from find-ing some playing time for the junior, who he feels can be a game-breaker anytime he touches the ball.

There is little doubt who inherits DiBona’s slot, as Murphy is one of the fastest athlete’s in the school’s his-tory. While he may not be a bone-crushing back like his predecessor, his shiftiness and breakaway speed should pro-vide plenty of the same results the Dragons got out of that po-sition last year.

Senior JB Marston will also get significant playing time in the backfield and could be that battering ram-type run-ning back in short yardage

situations. Henry Buonagurio, Matt Hallisey, and Adam Mar-tin will also get their chances.

Maimaron likes his skill position players in returning tight end Pat McWilliams and CJ Cote, along with wide re-ceivers Christian Spoor and Savard.

Finding offensive linemen to go along with returning left guard Kramer has been Maim-aron’s biggest challenge.

“We’ve been implement-ing our offense slowly because of so many new players up front. I think we have the po-sitions set at guard and center. Now we just need to finalize our tackle situation.”

Junior Dave Donovan will anchor the center of the Dux-bury offensive line, while ju-nior Coleman Duggan takes over at right guard alongside senior tackle Ethan Demers. Kramer’s partner on the left side is still up for grabs, as the battle between seniors Dickie Dowling and Tom Sullivan is going right down to the wire.

The Duxbury coaching staff realizes that they aren’t the biggest team around, so speed and quickness will be the keys to a successful de-fense.

“We have a solid front four, but we’re still trying to find some other players to use there too,” said Maimaron. “We have some size up there, and with Murphy’s speed and strength coming in off the end we should be okay if we stay healthy.”

Cote (DE) and Kramer (DT) provide that size upfront, while Dan Buonagurio (DT) and Murphy (DE) will man the other side.

The linebacking corps combines youth and experi-ence, with sophomore Max Randle manning the middle and seniors McWilliams and Marston on the outside.

“Max may be a little un-dersized, but he’s strong, smart and fast. He does well at reading plays and will call our defensive signals. McWilliams is a very smart player and athletic enough to make big plays coming around the cor-ners, while Marston is big and strong and has really picked up his intensity this year.”

The secondary will be closely watched, as Savard is expected to be the leader of the somewhat inexperienced group.

Senior cornerback Rob Kates suffered a season-end-ing injury in last year’s game versus Quincy and is ready to get back in action.

“Rob reads receivers well and gets a nice break on the ball, while I expect Hallisey, Martin and Lance O’Donovan to battle it out to be Kates’ partner,” said the Dragons’ coach.

The loss of Savard could pose trouble at safety, as he was prepared to team up with sophomore James Burke.

“You look at James and wonder how long can he stay out there. But he’s a human missile, flying all around the backfield,” said Maimaron.

One player who could make a significant difference for this year’s Duxbury team is junior kicker Ben Startzell, who has the leg to consistently kick field goals from 40 yards out.

“We had a situation in that Weymouth scrimmage where all we needed to do was have our QBs get us into field goal range and don’t do anything crazy. It should be an automat-ic three points if they do.”

The Dragons have some question marks, and they could be answered or exposed on opening night when Duxbury hosts Bridgewater-Raynham on their new turf field.

“We can have a good year, but we really need to stay healthy if we want to beat out Silver Lake and Hingham for the Patriot League crown. A lot of teams in our league are young, so I think you’ll see it will boil down to those three. We have the speed, athleticism and intelligence to win games, and these kids know what are expectations are.”
