The year that was 2009 kept us on our toes. It was a year of stories, big and small. From the front page to Around Town, Duxbury residents were moving and shaking.

While economic turmoil raged around on the national scene, Duxbury wasn’t without its own turbulence.

2009 was a year defined by conflict and debate. The year began with the School Committee making a much-talked about decision to change the school start times – a decision that still has some parents boiling.

At the annual election, a plan to update the facilities at the fire station and build a badly-needed new police station was defeated, leaving dozens of public safety workers in limbo. Later in the spring, the town clashed

with the operator of the North Hill Golf Course.

During the summer, the deci-sion to let a popular lacrosse coach go provoked outrage from parents, who lobbied (successfully) to have the coach’s contract renewed.

Around the same time, the decision not to renew the contract of the police chief set off a firestorm that deeply divided the community and public officials alike.

But through all the clouds, bright spots appeared. We heard stories of local students organizing a benefit concert to help children in Africa. Some residents traveled to Uganda to work with orphans in that country. A Duxbury firefighter risked his life to save a woman from a fire. A group of resi-dents banded together to restore the bro-ken pieces of a monument to those who served in World War I.

And in December, the news that the Sun Tavern will reopen provided an in-teresting bookend to the year. 2009 be-gan with the news of the popular restau-rant’s closing, a casualty of the economic downturn. Could the tavern’s rebirth in 2010 signal that things are finally turn-ing around? Here’s hoping for a won-derful 2010, and a look back at the top stories of 2009 ...

Brush burning permits now available

Brush burning permits are now available for purchase during normal business hours from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. week-days, as well as from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturdays and Sun-days. The cost of the burning permit is $10 for the season. The Duxbury Fire Depart-ment only accepts checks, no cash will be accepted. Burn-ing permits are sold only at the Central Fire Station at 688 Tremont St.

The burning season will start on Jan. 15, 2010 and the last day will be May 1. Resi-dents are strongly encour-aged to get their burning done early because burning will be very limited if we have a dry spring.

Burning without a 2010 permit is a violation and burn-ing privileges will be revoked for the remainder of the burn-ing season.

Burning permits are only for brush, cane, driftwood, and forestry products. Burn-ing of leaves, grass, hay, straw, stumps, finish lum-ber, or construction debris is strictly prohibited and doing so will be cause for immedi-ate revocation of the permit. Burning must be done on land proximate to where the brush is generated, must be done at least 75 feet from a dwelling, and adequate resources must be available to immediately extinguish the fire if request-ed to do so by a fire official. Burning will only be permitted when weather and wind condi-tions are acceptable.

Selectmen recently ap-proved changes to the transfer station fees for disposing of construction and demolition materials, which include any-thing that won’t fit into a town trash bag. These changes go into effect Feb. 1.

The price of a transfer sta-tion sticker for next year will not change; it will remain $25.

At a public hearing on Dec. 23, selectmen followed the recommendation of De-partment of Public Works Director Peter Buttkus and in-creased the cost of disposing of truckloads of C&D debris. Instead of the current method of charging by the level or heaping truckload, all truck loads will be weighed and charged ten cents per pound.

Selectmen decided to give the average homeowner a break and agreed to maintain the current policy of one free barrel of C&D debris per resi-dent per day. They also de-cided to keep the price of ad-ditional barrels of trash at $5 each. Previously, Buttkus had suggested eliminating the free daily barrel and raising the per

barrel charge to $7.50.The Fiscal Advisory

Committee supported these changes.

The increase is needed be-cause the town loses money in this area of the transfer station budget, according to Finance Director John Madden.

It costs Duxbury over $111,300 annually to dispose of this type of trash, which includes anything left at the take-it-or-leave-it area, also known as the “mall.” Thirty-five percent of the items left

at the mall end up going into trash dumpsters at the transfer station, according to Buttkus.

Currently, the town re-ceives only $29,000 in rev-enues from those who pay to dispose of C&D refuse.

With the weighed truck-load method, Buttkus expects to see more than $58,400 paid to the town, which will help cover its costs and possibly create a surplus of just over $3,000.

Demolition disposal fees rise at transfer station

On Sunday, Jan. 3 at 2 p.m. in Duxbury Free Li-brary’s Merry Room, Dux-bury High School graduate Colin Clark, will discuss his experience of living in Bei-jing, China while conducting undergraduate research. The topic of his project, “Vio-lence in XinJiang Province, and the Effect on US Chinese Relations,” was developed while immersing himself in the language and culture of

two provinces, XinJiang and XiZang. Colin’s presentation will also include slides that capture the beauty and mag-nificence of the regions he explored. Colin is a student at Hamilton College, major-ing in Chinese and Govern-ment. All are invited to attend this informative session.

Human Rights in China: An American Student’s Perspective


The decision not to bring back Police Chief Mark DeLuca

split the Board of Selectmen and the town in a dispute that very quickly turned bitter.

In June, Town Manager Richard Mac-Donald sent a short letter to DeLuca in-forming him

his contract would not be re-newed at the end of the year. The letter cited “management practices” as the reason for moving on, but provided few other details.

MacDonald and other of-ficials were reluctant to speak on the matter, but the chief’s defenders were vocal about what they saw as an injustice.

“I believe that Chief De-Luca is a tremendous asset to the town of Duxbury, and that to not renew his contract would be a huge mistake and a tre-mendous loss to the Duxbury community,” said Selectman Christopher Donato, whose wife, Paddi, had quit her po-sition as DeLuca’s executive assistant so he could vote on police matters.

Initially, the Board of Se-lectmen tried to overturn Mac-Donald’s decision. In front of a large crowd in the Mural Room at Town Hall, the board exercised a clause in the Town Manager Act that says the board can nullify an appoint-ment or a dismissal. Donato and Jon Witten claimed the non-renewal letter amounted to a dismissal under the Act, although Betsy Sullivan dis-agreed in a 2-1 vote.

Speakers at the meet-ing were passionate in their defense of either DeLuca or MacDonald. Many out of town police showed up to voice their support of their fellow officer.

Former Lawrence Police Chief Bob Hayden was on the search group that brought DeLuca to Duxbury 10 years

ago.“I was looking for honesty,

integrity, courage ... those are things you look for in a police chief,” he said. “I strongly urge Duxbury to keep Mark DeLuca as your police chief.”

Former selectman Jim Murphy, however, said that in the business world, a non-renewal wouldn’t be consid-ered a termination, a sentiment echoed by others at the meet-ing.

“In the 27 years I’ve been in this community, I’m not sure there’s been a more important decision,” he said, saying re-versing MacDonald’s decision could undercut the authority of future town managers.

“It’s going to impact the ability of the town to hire a town manager,” he said.

A later rul-ing from Town Counsel Robert Troy said the selectmen over-stepped their bounds and did not, in fact, have the authority to reverse MacDon-ald’s decision.

Despite the fact that DeLu-ca’s contract was set to expire in November, the Board of Select-men sat down with DeLuca and his attorney to work out a settle-ment, in which the town would pay DeLuca a severance in ex-change for him signing off on some legal waiv-

ers, in addition to back vaca-tion pay owed in accordance with his contract. In a portion of a closed-door meeting acci-dentally broadcast over cable TV, the settlement was initial-ly cited as $250,000, although Troy later said the amount was lower. Lt. Lewis “Chip” Chubb was appointed interim police chief. Although this appeared to close the door on the mat-ter, selectmen weren’t exactly pleased.

“I don’t think it’s been satisfactorily resolved,” said Donato after the meeting.” I voted in favor of working out an agreement because I didn’t have the votes to remove the town manager, because that was the only alternative I saw to keeping the chief.” “The most upsetting part to me is the fact that we seemed to have abandoned our practice of problem solving and it became whoever has the loudest voice wins,” said Sullivan. “That is not how we solve problems and do business.”

In a further twist to the story, DeLuca never signed the settlement agreement, even though it has been executed by a unanimous vote of the Board

of Selectmen. During a special executive session in October, the board voted 2-0 to pull the settlement. DeLuca was then placed on administrative leave until his contract expired Nov. 20.

MacDonald later appointed a permanent interim chief, Ste-phen Doherty, who will over-see the department until a new chief is selected. A search com-mittee is currently underway, and MacDonald said he wants appoint the next chief before Town Meeting. In December, DeLuca’s name surfaced as a finalist for the chief’s job in Cohasset.

Free family workshopStart the new year off with a free family workshop in the

gallery at The Art Complex Museum. The program is sched-uled on Jan. 9 from 1:30-3:30 p.m. and will focus on fun with watercolors for children ages six and above and adults. This is the first in a series of three Second Sunday events. Prereg-istration is required at 781-934-6634.


One of the most con-troversial decisions of the year was a

move by the School Commit-tee to change the school start times.

In February, the School C o m m i t t e e voted 3-2 to implement new start times in an effort to give older students more time to

sleep in the morning. Duxbury High School and Duxbury Middle School would begin at 8:15 a.m. rather than 7:30 a.m., and the Alden School now begins the school day at 7:30 a.m. rather than 8:15 a.m. (The high school time was lat-er adjusted to 8:20 a.m.)

Parents on both sides of the issue gave passionate tes-timony at School Committee meetings, and at a public fo-rum held in January. Parents of students at Alden said the change would have a negative impact on their children.

The decision was conten-tious from the start. It split the board nearly down the middle. Committee members George Cipolletti, Karen Wong and Anne Ward voted for the change, and Maureen Connol-ly and John Heinstadt voted against it.

“The plan was literally driven by the buses, and the budget .. or I should say lack thereof,” said Maureen Con-nolly, who questioned the wis-dom of the younger children waiting in the dark for buses and felt the committee hadn’t followed proper procedure while making the decision.

It wasn’t an easy decision for board members, who had been debating the issue for months.

“If I tallied up the e-mails it would come out to 50/50, so I supposed half of you think I listened and half of you think I didn’t.” said George Cipol-letti.

The issue continued to dog the committee and domi-nated both the public forum portion of School Committee and the Clipper editorial pages

throughout the year.A survey distributed in

school and to parents was meant to establish a baseline of data so the effects of the time change could be studied –– something parents on both sides said was necessary.

Several parents, howev-er, were concerned this data would be shared with outside sleep researchers –– some-thing they say they weren’t in-formed of –– and spoke out at the July 8 School Committee meeting.

“We’ve been informed af-ter the fact, after we took the parent online survey, that the data is going to sleep research-ers,” said Debbie Leppanen.

The committee seemed re-luctant to make any concrete promises about how the sur-vey data would be used. How-ever, member John Heinstadt said he didn’t see the harm of making an in-writing promise that the data wouldn’t be used outside the district.

“In my opinion what we gain is maybe a higher level of cooperation with parents,” he said.

At the first School Com-mittee meeting in September, opponents of the change said the buses were showing up late and students weren’t getting to

class on time. Superintendent of Schools Susan Skeiber said some of the problems were typical of the start of school –– but promised to work on the issue.

“I don’t disagree with you,” she told the committee and parents. “We want to ad-just those buses so they’re all in here on time ... My concern is your concern.”

At a forum held in the fall, most parents of older students thought the change was help-ing their kids, but most par-ents of younger students were still against it. It’s not clear what will happen on this topic moving forward –– although it’s sure to be a subject in the spring election, since two seats on the School Committee are up for re-election.

sharon pisani writes down her group’s thoughts and concerns at Monday night’s start time forum. reaction of parents to the school start time change was widely var-ied, and seemed divided among parents with Alden age students, who thought the change wasn’t working, and parents of older students, who approved of the move.

World War I is the only armed con-flict that doesn’t

have a memorial in the town of Duxbury. There was one in the past, but it was broken

in an accident and the pieces lost. When Joe Shea found the granite shards while working on a booklet

about the Mayflower Cem-etery, he began a drive to re-store the monument to its for-mer glory.

The efforts began in earnest in March, when at Town Meet-ing voters approved spending $75,000 in Community Pres-ervation Act funds to restore the monument, which lists the 81 men and one woman who served in the Great War.

“Many of these names are well-known but none should be forgotten,” Shea told Town Meeting voters.

The entire cost of the restoration is estimated at $100,000. The Duxbury Rural and Historical Society donated $5,000 to the project, and the rest is being raised through donations and a “buy-a-brick” program.

This fall, the concrete base of the monument was poured and a brick walkway installed around the future site of the Memorial, in front of the old Town Hall. In November, on Veterans’ Day, the beginning

of the monument was dedicat-ed in a special ceremony. The pieces of the monument were picked up by a company that specializes in granite work,

and Shea hopes that the full re-dedication of the monu-ment will happen sometime this spring.

Duxbury’s Alternative En-ergy Committee is investigat-ing the possibility of building two wind turbines behind the Department of Public Works building that, together, would generate enough electricity to meet more than half of the town’s power needs.

The committee is study-ing the construction of two 240-foot high wind turbines located on town-owned land off Tremont Street behind the DPW building. The cost of one wind turbine would be approximately $1.25 million and it would generate 660 kilowatts of power, or enough electricity to power 145 homes for a year, although the energy would only be for municipal use.

Chairman Frank Duggan told selectmen recently that the committee has completed the first of three phases of the state program that provides grants for alternative energy sources. This phase, the site assessment, was done in Octo-ber and was funded by a grant from the Massachusetts Tech-nology Collaborative.

The study looked at three sites: the high/middle school complex, the Chandler school and an area of town-owned land between the DPW barn and the North Hill golf course.

Duggan said eventually the two school sites were elimi-nated because of their proxim-ity to school activities.

The study then looked more closely at the land behind the DPW building and found three locations there that might be viable for a wind turbine because they had enough wind and did not conflict with other potential uses in the area.

“The area is out of the way, it doesn’t affect any other uses, and you can’t see it from areas of town except if you

are out on Duxbury Bay,” said Duggan.

The wind turbine that the committee is considering is a 660kW Vestas model V-47. According to information provided by Duggan, this tur-bine measures up to 240 feet from the ground to the top of a turbine blade, and has a hub height of 163 feet. Each of the three blades is 77 feet long. The base of the turbine is 12 feet in diameter. The noise lev-el is 45 decibels or less and the power output is 660 kilowatts, while the energy output is 1.2 million kWh.

This particular model has been installed at the Massa-chusetts Maritime Academy in Buzzard’s Bay, Cape Cod and also next to the Holy Name High School in Worcester, ac-cording to Duggan. This wind turbine would be taller than other highly visible turbines such as the IBEW turbine off Route 93, which measures 149 feet and produces 250 kilowatts, and the 165-foot, 100kW turbine off Route 93 at the Medford Middle School.

The committee plans to move to the next phase of the project, which would be a fea-sibility study. This will consist of a more detailed site evalu-ation, a financial feasibility analysis, one or more impact studies, and an in-depth wind study using a “met,” or testing, tower. The cost of the feasi-bility study will be as much as $85,000, but this would be completely funded through a grant from the Massachusetts Technology Collaborative. The next round of grants is next spring.

The feasibility study phase would take 21 months and would result in a final report on wind turbines in the chosen location.

If the report is favorable and the committee decides to move ahead with the wind turbine project, it would take

another two years to complete, said Duggan. Also, the town would have to find the money to pay for the turbines because there is only enough grant money, $600,000, to pay for half of each. There are some creative financing solutions available, Duggan said, in-cluding contracting with a pri-vate company that specializes in energy related projects.

The Alternative Energy Committee plans to present an article at the Annual Town Meeting in March that will amend the zoning bylaw to address the specifics of build-ing wind turbines in Duxbury. The planning board will hold a public hearing on this pro-posed bylaw on Monday, Jan. 11.

this graphic shows the proposed height of the turbine in the DpW yard compared with existing local windmills.

T.J., who is a student at Wake Forest Uni-versity, joined with three other students to develop the blog, which is designed to help par-ents navigate the video game world. “These student have spent the semester immersed in academic research—game con-tent, effects on adults, effects on children, parents’ perceptions and concerns,” said Wake For-est Associate Professor of Com-munication Marina Krcmar, who teaches the class, Video Games: Research and Theory. “So they understand the aca-demic perspective and yet they themselves are avid gamers.”

Ms. Hope Nuland and Mr. Anthony Duarte of Beech-wood Lane along with Mr. and Mrs. James Nuland Jr. of Powder Point Avenue announce the engagement

of their daughter Lauren Hope Nuland to Matthew John Burto of Branford, Conn., son of Nancy Palmeri. Lauren is the granddaugh-ter of Elizabeth Safe Richards and George Richards of King Caesar Road. She is also the granddaughter of the late Kenneth Safe, Jr. as well as James and the late Kathleen Nuland of Quogue, N.Y.

Lauren is a 2002 graduate of Duxbury High School and earned a bachelor of science in animal science from the University of Mas-sachusetts at Amherst in 2007. She is now working as a veterinary nurse.

Matt is a 2002 graduate of Branford High School and earned his bachelor of science in resource economics fron the University of Massachusetts at Amherst in 2007. He was also a member of the UMass hockey team. Matt now plays hockey for the Texas Brah-mas of the Central Hockey League.

A July 2010 wedding is planned in Newport, R.I.

Duxbury’s Alternative En-ergy Committee plans to pres-ent an article at the 2010 an-nual Town Meeting in March that will address the specifics of building wind turbines to generate power for municipal buildings in Duxbury.

The purpose of the by-law, which is labeled Section 616, Community-Scale Wind Facilities, is to regulate the construction and operation of wind turbines used to generate power only for town-owned buildings. This would be done by requiring a special permit from the Zoning Board of Ap-peals for any wind turbine that falls under this bylaw.

The bylaw covers the spe-cifics of wind turbines. It out-lines the application and per-mitting processes, includes the definitions of the various parts of turbine, and specifies cer-tain requirements, such as the maximum height and allow-able setbacks from property lines and houses.

To minimize any negative impact on the town and its resi-dents, the bylaw states that “all such Community-Scale Wind Facilities shall be constructed and operated in a manner that

minimizes any adverse visual, safety, and environmental im-pacts.”

At a recent selectmen’s meeting, selectman Jon Witten voted not to endorse the bylaw while Selectmen Chairman Betsy Sullivan and Selectman Chris Donato voted to support it.

Witten felt that this bylaw was too connected to a feasibil-ity study conducted for the Al-ternative Energy Committee. The committee has identified town-owned land behind the Department of Public Works building as a potential turbine site. The bylaw states that this type of wind turbine can only be placed in a publicly owned land overlay district, in which the proposed location falls.

Witten also felt that Dux-bury should be working to-wards creating a town-specific bylaw rather than adopting a copy of a model bylaw.

“The model bylaw does the greatest disservice we could do to the town,” said Witten. “Stay away from the model bylaw.”

Witten also disagreed with the way the bylaw was written in relation to the approval pro-cess.

“The burden should be on

the town to prove the bylaw is applicable rather than on the ZBA to prove that it isn’t,” he said.

Sullivan said she felt that this proposed bylaw was a good beginning for what the committee wanted to do.

“You need to start some-where,” said Sullivan.

The Planning Board will hold a public hearing on the proposed wind turbine bylaw on Monday, Jan. 11.

Despite splitting their vote on the bylaw article, selectmen voted unanimously to support another article proposed by the committee that amends the zoning bylaw’s definitions of use and regulation for profes-sional offices. The article adds the language “renewable and alternative energy research and development” to the sec-tion that defines which profes-sional offices may be allowed in a neighborhood business district 1 zone.

Duxbury is a town rich in history, and 2009 was an im-

portant date for several local landmarks.

The King Caesar House on Powder Point, the estate of Ezra Weston (known to his peers as “King Caesar) turned 200 years old this year. The Duxbury Rural and Historic

Society cele-brated with a big bash on Bumpus Park, across the street from the house. The

park was once the site of the wharf, where Weston’s ships would come to get outfitted. As part of the celebration, a 30-minute video, created by Duxbury resident Bryan Felty, was shown. The video was a 3D computer rendering of what the area looked like at the height of King Caesar’s power.

“Weston took this business from a pretty successful fish-ing fleet and made it a world wide phenomenon,” said Dux-bury Rural & Historical Soci-ety Executive Director Patrick Browne. “We’d call him a mi-cromanager now. He literally would instruct his captains on everything ... That took a little bit of genius. It was like a massively complicated chess game.”

The home has a long and storied history. It was built in two phases –– Ezra Weston II had the original four rooms expanded before he died. After Alden Weston died childless, his nieces and nephews took over the building for a number of years before it was sold in 1886 to Frederick Bradford Knapp. Knapp established a prep school for boys on the site, the Powder Point School

for boys, using the King Cae-sar House as the headmaster’s quarters. The school lasted until the late 1920s, when it merged with Tabor Academy. Eventually the house was sold to the Duxbury Rural & Historical Society in 1965. It opened as a museum in 1967.

Also in 2009, the home-stead of Pilgrims John and Priscilla Alden, was recog-nized as a National Historic Landmark, joining an elite company of sites. Although

the site was already listed on the National Historic Register (a list of about 80,000 sites na-tionwide) the designation as a National Landmark, a group of less than 2,500 sites across the country, is a far more presti-gious honor.

“They are the best known and most recognizable depic-tion of the Pilgrims as a whole,” said Jim Baker, a member of a group of Alden descendants known as the Kindred.

Duxbury rural & Historical society executive Director patrick Browne with a portrait of Duxbury shipbuilding mogul ezra Weston ii, known as “King caesar.” the society celebrated the 200th year of the Weston home with a reception on Aug. 22.

Alden descendant and historian tom Mccarthy and Marianne peaks from the National park service stand in front of the Alden House, which was designated an official National Historic Landmark in August. the Alden House is now one of only about 2,500 such landmarks in the county.

The decision not to bring back a popu-lar and successful

lacrosse coach provoked out-rage from parents and former players this summer.

School Committee mem-bers confirmed in late July

that they had been informed by Superin-tendent of Schools Susan Skeiber that the contract of

Chris Sweet, who has five state lacrosse championships to his credit and had worked for the school for 14 years, would not be renewed. Athletic coaches’ contracts are generally year-to-year.

The news came as a sur-prise to Sweet, who said he had his annual coaching eval-uation with athletic director Thom Holdgate and principal Andrew Stephens without any indication his tenure was up.

“I love coaching and, until the school indicates to me for-mally I won’t be back, I still hope to be coaching at Dux-bury,” Sweet said after hearing the news.

School officials were tight lipped about the reason for the non-renewal, and letters flood-ed in supporting the coach, as well as a full-page ad in the Clipper.

“I never in a million years though it would happen,” said former player and Duke star Max Quinzani. “I loved him

as a coach and we did nothing but win for him.”

“When I was a senior, no one knew where Duxbury was,” said Tom Daniels, who played for the 2000 DHS team. “And now colleges re-cruit out of Duxbury and it’s a nationally known program. As an alumnus, I’m very proud of the program’s success and a lot of that has to do with Coach Sweet.”

Eventually, after Sweet and Skeiber met face-to-face, the coach’s contract was re-newed.

“I was confident if we met, she would decide to keep me

as coach,” Sweet said. “I’m going to give her the credit ... she is the head of the school system, there were enough people who objected to the original decision.”

Skeiber denied that the decision was shaped by the growing outrage from parents and players, both current and former, who claimed that the move not to bring Sweet back was spearheaded by just a few disgruntled parents.

“It was really the discus-sion we had,” she said. “We were able to get to the bottom of some issues.”

Duxbury’s highly successful boys’ lacrosse coach chris sweet was told this summer that his contract would not be renewed. After a pub-lic outcry, his job was reinstated a few weeks after the story broke.

For the second year in a row, plans for new public safety facili-

ties passed at Town Meeting only to be defeated at the polls in the spring election.

Voters ap-proved Article 34, which asked for $435,000 for design costs for a new police

station on Mayflower Street, and Article 35, which asked for $5.2 million to renovate the Tremont Street fire station. A proposal to build a combined police and fire station on cem-etery land off Tremont Street, at a cost of $14.3 million, was indefinitely postponed. The plans for a combined station ran into opposition, especially from the cemetery trustees (the only land big enough to ac-commodate the combo station, officials said, was cemetery land) so that plan was aban-doned before Town Meeting. Some would later say that the fact this article was on the bal-lot during the election (it was too late to legally remove it)

caused confusion and hurt the article’s chances of passing.

At Town Meeting, howev-er, there was little opposition to the plan.

“Fifteen years ago, I was amazed at the poor condition of the police facility. You can imagine how much worse it is today,” said Bill O’Toole of the Fiscal Advisory Commit-tee.

The measure failed at the ballot during the spring elec-tion, however.

“It was pretty discourag-ing,” said Deputy Fire Chief Christopher West after the vote. “I think we did our best to sell the renovation.”

“I knew it would be a tough sell,” added Police Chief Mark DeLuca. “I think it was simply the times.” Discouraged after two straight defeats (a plan to build two separate new facilities was defeated in 2008,) the Pub-lic Safety Building Commit-tee went back to the drawing board, firm in their belief that the state of the two stations is a public safety issue and the fa-cilities need to be updated.

Currently, the plan is to return to Town Meeting in the spring of 2010 with an article seeking $292,000 in design funds for upgrades to the Tremont Street fire station, said Committee Chairman An-dre Martecchini in November.

“It’s similar to what we were looking at last year,” he said. However, the scope of the plan is slightly reduced. Last year’s project was esti-mated at $5.2 million, Martec-chini said this project would be $4.5 million.

The idea would be to bring bids to Town Meeting by 2011, he added.

As far as the police sta-tion goes, Martecchini said the group will make a capital re-quest for $30,000 to do some site analysis and conceptual design for the new police sta-tion.

“Our leading site at this point is still the Mayflower site,” he said. “We still feel, of the available town owned sites, that’s the best site.”

Golf is known as a gentlemen’s game, but nego-

tiations between the town and the company managing the North Hill Country Club were anything but genteel this

year.Following

a series of le-gal filings and a successful injunction in M i d d l e s e x

County courts, Johnson Turf and Golf of Weston remained in control of North Hill Coun-try Club for the duration of the 2009 golf season. Johnson had run the course for ten years, but the management contract for the town-owned, nine-hole golf course on Merry Av-enue was put out to bid at the end of 2008. After reviewing the bids, the town decided the process hadn’t been correctly followed and restarted the bidding. That’s when Doug Johnson of Johnson Golf filed in court, seeking to stop the re-bidding from happening. Johnson initially filed suit in

Middlesex Superior Court against Duxbury and mem-bers of the North Hill Com-mittee, seeking monetary damages and alleging breach of contract, conspiracy and fraud and breach of public trust. He also asked for an in-junction preventing the town from awarding the contract to the winner of the second bid-ding process, Calm Golf of Rockland. A judge basically put a hold on the whole issue, allowing Johnson to run the course under the terms of his old contract through the end of 2009.

Johnson claimed that Calm Golf didn’t have the financial backing to run a course, and the judge, Justice Herman J. Smith, agreed.

Calm’s attorney said that Calm is simply a new com-pany formed by Charles Lan-zetta and Anthony Morosco, who together have more than 80 years of experience run-ning golf courses in addition to Calm Golf’s four-month stint at Abington’s Strawberry Valley Golf Course.

More than that, Johnson accused a small group of golf-ers of plotting against him because of some unpopular –– but he claimed necessary –– rule changes made at North Hill. In the court filings and in e-mails sent to town officials, he railed against the percep-tion of himself as a “bully.”

“I’m the bully who took a dump of a golf course and clubhouse filled with drunks and druggies and invested to make it into a first class facil-ity,” he wrote in an e-mail to Recreation Director Gordon Cushing.

“He claimed everyone was conspiring against him, which was completely fabri-cated,” said Duxbury’s Town Counsel Robert Troy.

Johnson is no stranger to the inside of a courtroom, as he is in or has been involved in litigation over golf course management in Abington, Auburn, Beverly and New Bedford.

Still, both Johnson and town officials said they’re committed to doing the right thing by the town and the course.

“There are certainly no hard feelings on our end,” said Cushing. “We’re all pro-fessionals and we’re going to do what’s best for the town.”

goLf WAr: the town and a golf management company became embroiled in a legal fight over the North Hill golf course earlier this year. the town had put the course’s management out to bid and awarded the job to a rockland company, but the current manager, Johnson turf and golf of Weston, sued and won an injunction keeping the nine-hole course for at least another year.

During this winter season please consider the following:

Supplemental Heating Devices

• Use and maintain all heating devices in accordance with the manufacturers rec-ommendations.

• Do not leave heating de-vices unattended or turned on while you are asleep.

• Provide all heating de-vices with at least three feet of clear space, away from beds, drapes, furniture and other combustible materials.

• Examine gas lines for punctures or splits. Check the connectors and valves for leaks.

Chimneys and Fireplac-es

• Clean and maintain chimneys, fireplaces and fur-naces on a regular basis. Most fires in wood stoves, fireplaces and chimneys occur because of a lack of regular cleaning, leading to the buildup of creo-sote (the residue of unburned fuel).

• Keep sparks and em-bers inside the fireplace with screens made of heat-tem-pered glass or sturdy metal.

• Burn dry, well-seasoned hard wood because it’s the most efficient fuel.

Cold weather safety tips from the Duxbury Fire Department

Thinking about a New Years resolution to challenge your mind this winter? Do you have flexible work hours or are retired? Think about a course at Life Long Learning.

There was a group of current Island Creek residents in

the crowd at the first public hearing for Island Creek North who seemed like they wanted

the project to be greenlit then and there. It’s been over a year, but af-ter back-and-forth between

the developer and the Zoning Board of Appeals and after several major changes to the plan, the 238-unit complex appears closer to becoming a reality.

The Zoning Board of Ap-peals voted to close the public hearing on Island Creek North in early December. This isn’t the final word on the project –– a comprehensive permit will still have to be prepared and voted on by the board –- but the hearing process ended with positive words from both sides.

Island Creek North is a 40B project, named after a state law commonly referred to as the “anti-snob zoning act.” It allows developers to skirt local zoning regulations if a portion of the units built

are sold below market rate.This particular project was

originally slated to have a mix of apartments, condomini-ums and commercial space. As the board and the builder, John Keith of Keith Properties and his consultant, Ed March-ant went back and forth, most of the commercial space was eliminated, and more recently all the planned for-sale units were changed to rental. There will also be an assisted living facility on the property. Not directly tied to the project, but related, is an effort by the state to add a traffic light to Trem-ont Street near Island Creek’s entrance to ease traffic at the Route 3 interchange.

If approved, the complex would add much-needed af-fordable housing units to Dux-bury. Proponents of the project said it would give empty-nest-ers moving out of larger homes a chance to stay in Duxbury near their families.

Although the hearing process was tense at times –– Marchant often bristled at the level of peer review the project was subject to –– by the end, all sides seemed to be more or less on the same page.

“I’ve done about a half

dozen of these, this is by far the most professional group in terms of applicants,” said ZBA Chairman Dennis Murphy. “They’ve been very respon-sive, and we are absolutely grateful for that.”

Keith said that if ap-proved, the project would take a minimum of four years to complete.

According to the U.S. Coast Guard, each year there are over 7,000 drownings and 20,000 near-drownings in the Unit-ed States. Over half of these incidents occur in cold water (water less than 70 degrees F.). If you are going to go onto the ice, please use the following safety precautions. Ice on moving water in rivers, streams and brooks is never safe. The thickness of ice on ponds and lakes depends upon water cur-rents or springs, depth, and natural objects such as tree stumps or rocks. Daily changes in temperature cause the ice to expand and contract, which affects its strength. No one can declare ice to be absolutely safe. If someone does fall through the ice, act quickly and call 911 for help immediately, do not go out onto the ice, leave it to the professionals. Remember, the only safe ice is at a skating arena.

The Duxbury Fire Department wishes everyone a safe and happy holiday season.

State Representative Tom Calter (D-Kingston) recently told a group of business own-ers that state funds for infra-structure, combined with the government’s focus on “in-novation industries” will help lead Massachusetts out of the recession, but cautioned that difficult decisions are still ahead.

Calter was the guest of Veda Clark, President and CEO of Litecontrol at the forum, held recently and at-tended by a large group of businesspeople from across the region.

“I’m here to tell you that there is hope for recovery,” said Calter, who said that Massachusetts is one of the regions that he believes will emerge last from the reces-sion because it was one of

last to go into it. “The coun-try is coming back, and I am hopeful, but we are in a cli-mate where there will need to be additional budget cuts and curtailment of services because raising taxes is not a way to boost an economic re-covery.”

He emphasized the impor-tance of collaboration between the public and private sectors of the state to bring about a full economic recovery and told the business owners more about Governor Patrick’s pro-posed growth strategy which is meant to create an environ-ment where businesses want to invest.

This plan includes a fo-cus on both the education and implementation of “innova-tion industries” such as IT, life sciences, clean energy,

clean tech, and health care. Additionally, there has been a record amount of funds al-located towards state infra-structure works. Finally, the approach provides incentives for businesses who wish to expand in identified growth districts located outside the Greater Boston area.

Representative Calter re-called that Litecontrol was the first business that he visited after winning the election. “I want to thank Veda Clark and Litecontrol for this opportuni-ty and for hosting us here to-night,” he said, commending Ms. Clark on a business that is “a shining example of what is right in this economy.” The Representative fielded ques-tions from audience members on a wide range of topics.

Jessica Dennis caught the travel bug early on a trip to Australia when she was 12-years-old.

“I set a goal for myself, by the time I was 25 I wanted to visit 25 countries,” she said. “When in the future am I go-ing to have the time?”

Now, the Duxbury college student has just returned from an eight-country tour of Asia, and she’s reached her goal.

The list of countries Den-nis has visited reads like Rick Steeves’ passport: Canada, Mexico, Jamaica, Costa Rica, Argentina, Bolivia, Australia, Japan, China, Hong Kong, Macau, the Philippines, In-donesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Morocco, Spain, France, Ger-many, Italy, Czech Republic, Austria, Slovakia, England and Ireland.

On the most recent trip, Dennis and a sorority sister from school left on Oct. 15 and got back shortly before Thanksgiving.

“We just booked it and went,” she said.

Dennis said she and her friend did a lot of research be-fore the trip and booked about 85 percent of their hotels and hostels before hand, but there were a few times they decided to play it by ear. That almost came back to bite them, how-ever, in Phuket, an island in Thailand. When they got off the plane, Dennis couldn’t pick up the Internet on her Blackberry and they found themselves in a strange land with no place to stay. Luckily, they overheard another tourist talking about a popular vacation spot.

“We got into a cab and said, take us to Patong Beach,” she said.

Her trip got her to try new things, such as ox tail (which she wound up liking) and a

few things that didn’t go so well, such as starfish and snake skin in Beijing.

“They have the night mar-ket, where you can try things like scorpion,” Dennis said.

She found her time in Chi-na a real culture shock.

“Everyone would push to get on and off the subway,” she said.

They were also constantly hearing themselves called the Chinese word for foreigner.

“Once we learned it, we just heard it all the time,” she said.

Despite a couple of hic-cups, she said the trip to the non-western world had a pro-found effect on her.

“Something about it re-ally opened my eyes,” Dennis said.

Her favorite highlight of the trip was the Great Wall of China.

“When you stare at it ... you walk for hours and look back and say, wow, I just did

that,” she said.While in high school, she

participated in the AFS student exchange program and went to Costa Rica. Her family also hosted a student, and some of the connections she made through AFS she’s kept up to this day –– she actually visited some of these connections on the Asia trip.

“You meet so many people [while traveling,]” she said. “Everything is so different ... you realize how much you don’t know.”

As for what the future holds, Dennis is starting a masters program in Spanish in January. She’s also interviewed with EF Education, a compa-ny that does a lot with study abroad. She’d like to continue traveling, and perhaps expand that list of countries.

“There are so many things I don’t know and haven’t seen,” she said.

Police fundraiser to beginThe Duxbury Police Union is going to be conducting its

annual fundraiser in the coming weeks. This year, the union will be utilizing a direct mailing to all residents and business-es. Members have chosen to do so instead of the past practice of using an outside agency to solicit donations over the phone. Officers hope that this will eliminate concerns that residents have expressed during past fundraising done locally by call-ing people at home. Residents can be assured that 100% of their donations will go directly to the causes that the union supports.

Well, it took a blizzard to bring the birds back to my yard. Yesterday morning through the falling snow I could see House Finches, Black-capped

Chickadees, Tufted Titmice, White-breasted Nuthatches and Goldfinches chowing down on the sunflower seed that has been waiting for them for weeks. On the ground beneath the feeders was a big group of Dark-eyed Juncos cleaning up the fallen seeds.

Juncos are sometimes called “Snowbirds” because they often show up with the first snow. You know that summer is over when the first juncos appear. In the summer they hang out in the

Canadian forests, building nests, laying eggs and raising young. Then when Canada gets too cold for them they, like so many of us, head south. Any place south of Montreal seems like “south” to them.

Although they are a variety of sparrow, they look quite different from the usual “little brown jobs.” They have rounded heads with stubby, pink bills and fairly long tails. The tail appears all dark but when the bird flies, bright white outer feathers are visible giving the little bird a startlingly flashy look. The males wear dark gray “tuxedos” no matter what the occasion: dark above with crisp white bellies. Typically, the females are drabber with brownish-gray feathers overall. Both have little black “shoe-button” eyes.

Juncos are ground feeders, hopping around under the trees in the woods or under your feeders at home. As they forage on the ground looking for seeds, they call with little short, crisp notes. Their song is a twitter but is almost never found on my Twitter page. Although they like the woods I have often seen them on Duxbury Beach scratching in the gravel along the road. A birder reported that during the blizzard he saw juncos feeding from a suet feeder. Suet is usually favored by woodpeckers although the smaller birds will use it in very cold weather. The fat keeps the birds warm. You know, like Pecan Pie.

I’d like to report that these birds have good, upstanding moral behavior but alas it seems that although males have a mate that they form families with, they will also have dalliances with neighboring females. It must be those tuxedos the girls cannot resist. On the other hand if the male partner dies, the female wastes no time in re-mating and raising another family. Happily, juncos are not considered endangered.

Look out for juncos under your feeders and throw some extra seed on the ground for them. If the squirrels get it, it’s OK. They have to eat too.

Looking back on a year of

drama & debateThere’s one thing you can’t say about the year

that was 2009 –– that it was boring. It’s hard to argue that the top stories of the year are the drama

surrounding the departure of former police chief Mark DeLuca and the decision to change the school start times. More ink has been spilled over these two subjects than anything else in the Clipper this year.

Both stories were newsworthy because of not only the importance of the original decision, but the impact that decision subsequently had on the town. The decision not to bring back DeLuca split residents along bitter lines. The debate was at times ugly, and the very way Duxbury governs itself under the Town Manager Act was questioned. Although DeLuca has moved on and the police department is moving forward, we still haven’t seen the full consequences of this decision play out.

As contentious as that issue was, however, it’s got nothing on the school start time switch. For months, there was talk of little else at School Committee meetings, and even the committee itself is deeply divided on the subject. In a way, the debate was a sign of healthy democracy –– all 5-0 votes does not a good school committee make. Parents on both sides of the issue argued articulately and passionately. But it’s obvious the implementation of the new times hasn’t settled the issue. Questions of busing, and the changes effect on Chandler students, remain unresolved. Opponents of the change feel proper procedure wasn’t followed. And the issue will surely be a major factor at the spring town election.

When you look back at the year in news stories, it’s easy to focus on the negative and the sensational. But 2009 was also a year where we saw residents step up in a big way. The Duxbury High School students in the African Service Project deserve credit for their efforts to raise money for the invisible children of Africa, and Chris Blake, Dan Hall, Kelsey Jordan and Rebecca Richards have done wonderful work with the Ugandan Rural Fund. Joe Shea and the rest of his committee have done yeoman’s work on the World War I monument, and in the last several weeks we’ve had a firefighter honored for saving a life and an elementary school teacher nominated for Teacher of The Year. These are the stories that too often fall through the cracks, yet they are the stories that deserve the most celebration.

It’s been a year of stories, some bad and some good. And it’s been a pleasure to cover them all. Whether it be the stories that send a chill up your spine or the stories that warm your heart, we hope to be covering Duxbury and telling its stories for many more years to come.

My name is Ryan Clifford Miller; I grew up in

Duxbury and graduated from Duxbury High School in 2004. This coming May I will be participating in a 10 week cross-country bike ride from Charleston, South Carolina to Santa Cruz, California, nearly 4,200 miles, to raise national awareness for affordable hous-ing.

The ride is organized by a not for profit 501c(3) orga-nization called Bike & Build whose mission is to bring about fundamental changes to the way housing is provided for low-income families. To achieve this end, Bike & Build recruits college-aged individu-als to educate people and local governments about the impor-tance of providing affordable housing opportunities in their communities.

I first found out about Bike & Build about three years ago when I was still in college at UNC-Chapel Hill. What started as an uneventful trip to the laundry room in my dorm thankfully turned out to be one of the defining moments in my life. On the way to the laun-dry room, I happened to notice a flyer pinned to the bulletin board near the doors. What caught my eye about the flyer was a picture of two cyclists riding through what looked like a sea of rolling wheat. I was instantly hooked. Since then close friends of mine have done the program and loved it, so I figured that it was finally time for me to take the plunge and saddle up.

During the trip, my group will divide time between rid-

ing and helping out at local Habitat for Humanity and Re-building Together build sites. We will also hold community meetings to help educate area citizens about the cause.

Since the program was started in 2002 it has been very successful. More than 750 college-aged students have been involved in the pro-gram and more than $1.6 mil-lion has been raised for afford-able housing projects. In 2008, nearly $500,000 was raised (well over $100,000 more than in 2007). In order for me to participate in the program, I must raise a total of $4,000, through donations and grants, nearly all of which goes to benefit the effort.

One of the biggest aspects of this trip that I am looking forward to is exploring our country’s heartland and meet-ing new people. I spent the entirety of my life living along the East Coast, which I feel has given me a bit of a one-sided perspective of our coun-try and its many cultures. This

ride will give me the opportu-nity to experience our coun-try first hand and a chance to help make our country a better place for everyone.

In terms of what will keep me motivated throughout this project, my family and espe-cially my brother Ian is who I look to for inspiration. My brother has been battling liv-er cancer for the past seven years. Not only has he had to bear the physical pain of sur-gery but he has also had to en-dure the mental and emotional burden as well. He didn’t give up when he was diagnosed nor has he ever wavered in his de-termination to persevere and move beyond his diagnosis. He refuses to be limited by his cancer and is living a full and active life. Whenever I may think that current challenges I am facing in life are insur-mountable, I always think of Ian and know that anything is possible.

When I am not in the saddle, I am working towards my Master’s degree in urban planning from Florida State University. I am an avid light-weight rower and sculler, and, when my schedule allows, I spend my weekends compet-ing at various regattas around the country. When I am not in the classroom or training for my next race, I am out on the water coaching the women’s rowing team at FSU.

If you would like to learn more about my ride and the Bike & Build organization, you can visit the main Web site bikeandbuild.org or read my profile at bikeandbuild.org/rider/3571.

Week of Jan. 4-Jan. 8

Approximately 100 Bay Farm Mon-tessori Academy

students from Duxbury and surrounding areas participated in Bay Farm’s annual Science Fair last week. This event en-courages academic achieve-ment and curiosity in science, technology, engineering, and math.

The Science Fair at Bay Farm was an outstanding showcase of the fine work and learning of kindergarten through eighth grade students. Some students built projects, conducted unique experiments and shared their results, while others highlighted hours of in-tense research on the subject of their choice. This year about 100 students participated, showing off inventive, experi-mental, and creative projects on topics including plants, fly-traps, Northern Lights, mold, crystals, shadows, and recy-cling.

Jackson Moore (Kindergarten) demonstrates

his science fair project on shadows.

I have plenty of change under my belt, and plenty ahead, but only one resolution this year:

call Martin Snow four times next year. It’s a step up from never, or at least not enough. You insiders already know what I mean, and probably know Martin Snow. The rest of you will just have to read on.

I write this a few days before Christmas. Who knows what stunning events will happen between now and

the New Year? Two years ago Benazir Bhutto was assassinated. Last year I took a quieter look at the same region, reminding you that Duxbury’s Razia Jan was still at work in Afghanistan, nursing along the Zabuli School for

Girls and working for Arzu Rugs, the non-profit NGO that supports poor rug-weaving women and their families in Afghanistan. Your New Year’s resolution could be to help Razia heat a couple of rooms through the winter. Call George Prebola at the Duxbury Rotary Club (781-934-5231). Don’t worry about the season. George explained that they already sent Razia the money – your donation would be used to replenish the Rotary’s funds so they can continue to support the school

Hockey off to a fast startBy mike Halloran, sports editor

[email protected]

It‘s supposed to be a re-building year for Coach John Blake and the Duxbury High School boy’s hockey team. Nevertheless, the young Drag-ons have shown they hope to be competitive right away after opening with a surprising 2-2 tie with St. John’s of Shrews-bury, followed by blowout wins over Barnstable (8-3) and North Quincy (5-0).

After a mediocre season in 2008-09 that saw the Dragons go 7-13-2 and miss the play-offs, most figured that this season would be much of the same with very few varsity players returning that saw sig-nificant ice time last year.

Blake must have felt it was time to rebuild also when he chose this year’s team with 13 sophomores and a pair of fresh-man dotting his 28-man roster.

A team can only go as far as its goalie will take it, and last Wednesday night in Quin-cy junior goalie Tim Mathews showed he plans on skippering the Duxbury ship in a 5-0 shut-out win over the Red Raiders.

The hosts tested Mathews early, but the junior stayed focused, as both teams were testing each other out before a Tim Harrison redirected shot almost caught Raider goalie Matt Brundige by surprise.

North Quincy finally got the first break of the game when Harrison went off for crosschecking at 5:37. How-ever, the Red Raiders could do little with it, as the Duxbury penalty-killing unit kept that

at bay.The Dragons got their first

man-advantage with just 39 seconds left in the period, and it almost turned disastrous, as NQ’s Brendan Glynn stole the puck from the Duxbury de-fense at the blue line and went in alone on Mathews. Going from left to right, his shot hit the crossbar and whistled into the corner as the period ended.

It didn’t take the Drag-ons long to jump on the Red Raiders in the second period, as sophomore Chris Williams walked out of the corner to Brundige’s right and picked the top left corner on a perfect-ly placed shot to give his team a 1-0 lead at the 13:22 mark.

Less than two minutes later the Red Raiders went on the power-play, only to watch Dux-bury’s Pat Charland go in alone on Brundige but fail to score on his shorthanded attempt.

Momentum was clearly on Duxbury’s side, as they con-tinued to keep the Red Raiders in check.

With 6:44 to go in the mid-dle stanza, the Dragons finally got an insurance tally when ju-nior forward Chris Sowa was perfectly positioned to knock home a rebound that gave Duxbury a 2-0 lead.

The final minutes of the period produced a pair of NQ power-plays, sandwiched around a blast from sophomore defenseman Mitch Barrington that rattled off the crossbar while the lead remained at two.

Mathews was up to the task once again starting the third period, as he turned aside a Raider shot while on his knees to keep his shutout going.

The next goal would prove crucial, as Duxbury went on the power-play with 10:10 re-maining. Sophomore transfer

Connor Doyle would put the game out of reach just 66 sec-onds later when he was posi-tioned out front and redirected a shot past back-up goalie James Dunn for a 3-0 lead.

The visitors were now in complete control, as they dom-inated play over the final nine minutes with senior Charlie Cowen and Doyle finding the back of the net for the shutout win.

The victory was a good warm-up for Saturday night’s battle with Weymouth in the opening round of the Taylor Tournament in Hingham.

Despite their three-game unbeaten streak, the Dragons were no match for the Wild-cats in the first period, as they were out-shot 9-3, yet only trailed 1-0.

along with their other charities. While you’re at it, look up the Rotary International at rotary.org. I was deeply moved by their introductory video.

For that matter, I’ve been impressed since my first visit to the Duxbury Club. They now meet for breakfast at the Senior Center every Tuesday at 7 a.m., rather than the cocktail hour. Their motto and guidelines sound like something straight from Howard Gardner’s “5 Minds for the Future” (more about that below). Rotarians ask four questions of the things they think, say or do:

1. Is it the truth? 2. Is it fair to all concerned? 3. Will it build goodwill and better friendships? 4. Will it be beneficial to all concerned?This sounds to me like Gardner’s “Respectful and Ethical

Minds,” and like Gardner’s propositions, easily suited to people from most any ethnic or religious background. Gardner spoke here in Duxbury a few couple of weeks ago, sponsored by the Parent Connection. I needled him about leaving Cornell’s Urie Bronfenbrenner out of his references (Gardner is a Harvard guy), but I bought two of his books, and he was very gracious to sign them for me. Gardner and his group run an extremely rich web program at goodworkproject.org. I’ve just scratched the surface of the site. It seems to focus on the same values, but from a different, more academic angle. Gardner and his program shimmer in the stratosphere. George Prebola and the Duxbury Rotary have breakfast every Tuesday morning, but their aims are the same: to build ethical, concerned reasoning into our daily lives, careers, and the work of the day wherever we work.

Of course, many people work out such things through their religious views and their faith organizations. I do. The problem is that many of us also work out our ax-grinding, defensiveness, and outright hostility in the same religious buildings. Not you, of course, nor I. Our faiths beat with the very heart of mercy. It’s those other faiths that slice and dice each other’s people in the name of – whomever.

My point, of course, is that regardless of one’s dedication to a particular faith and the good works thereof, it’s a great boon to have another course of action that is free of particular religious flavor – like the life-giving rain that falls on all of us. It makes reaching out across religious barriers so much easier.

The Duxbury High School athletic program continues to be one of the best in the state, and it proved it again during the 2008-2009 season by winning the school’s tenth Boston Globe Dalton Award for achieving the highest winning percentage in their enrollment division (III).

After an incredible run of three straight titles in 2004, 2005, and 2006, Dux-bury (70.77%) is back on top after edging out Med-field (69.92%), Hingham (69.34%), Hopkinton (67.93), and Pembroke (64.77%)

Scoring big for the Drag-ons were: Boys – football

(11-0), swimming (9-1), bas-ketball (19-2), golf (18-2), lacrosse (15-3), cross-coun-try (8-2), baseball (14-6), tennis (14-6), soccer (12-6), and wrestling (12-8), Girls – lacrosse (17-1), golf (9-1), swimming (8-1), ice hockey (16-3-1), tennis (14-4), field hockey (10-4-4), softball (15-6), basketball (13-6), and soccer (11-6-1).

The overall record for boys’ teams in 2008-09 was 145-62-2, while the girls amassed a record of 127-48-6. Duxbury has won nine previous Dalton Awards in ‘81, ‘82, ‘85, ’86,’88, ’01, ’04, ’05 and ’06.

DHS earns 10th Dalton Award

By Wendy Genereux

Senior captain Tim Dono-ghue is hoping to top last year’s third-place finish at the Marsh-field Holiday Tournament by winning the 119 lb. champion-ship. The prestigious tourna-ment boasts a field of 29 teams from around the Bay State, including this year’s new ad-ditions from Norton, Wilming-ton, and Bristol Aggie.

Donoghue, the #5 seed, made quick work of his Bridgewater-Raynham and Whitman-Hanson opponents in the first two rounds, setting up one of the best matches of his career against Sandwich senior Sam Cordeiro. The two grapplers exchanged points in the first two periods, but Cor-deiro would go ahead 6-4 in the third period. Donoghue continued to attack, but the Sandwich captain defended well, preventing the takedown. However, in a dramatic turn of events, Donoghue’s persever-ance paid off with a two-point takedown just as the period expired. The Duxbury senior captain went on to earn an ex-

citing come-from-behind 8-6 overtime victory, sending him to the semi finals.

Freshman Nick Kates didn’t let a second-round pin late in the third period get him down, hanging on to beat Braintree’s John DeNapoli, 7-6, in a 103 lb. consolation match. With the win and a bye, Kates advanced to the second day of competition, and will face off against Plymouth North’s Glen Drew.

Freshman Jake Genereux, who recently won the 112 lb. Patriot League Championship, drew the #8 seed, giving him a first-round bye, and a second-round re-match with Pembroke senior Jon Mecurio. Mecurio was no match for the talented freshman, and was quickly pinned, sending Genereux to the quarterfinals against one of New Bedford’s top wres-tlers: #1 seeded Jonathan Costa. The junior controlled the match from the start, but a late reversal and an escape by Genereux had Costa on his heels before time ran out. The 8-3 loss was Genereux’s first

of the season, but puts him in a good position to earn a pos-sible third-place finish.

Duxbury senior Rob Kates (130) was the tournament’s come-back kid, as he worked through an arm injury and a tough loss to Tollgate’s Josh Travers in the second round to pin Brockton’s Xavier Mendez and beat Plymouth South se-nior Brendan McBride with a 7-3 decision. The hard work-ing Kates is hoping his double

leg takedown will carry him to a respectable third-place finish.

Rounding out the scoring for Duxbury was junior Pat “Stick” Donovan in the 140 lb. weight class. The scrappy junior won an exhausting 16-10 decision in the first round over Norton’s Derek Hoyt, only to draw the #1 seed in the second round. Donovan did everything he could to stay in the match with Somerset’s Matt Taber, but the experi-

enced senior grappler pinned the underclassman in the third period. Donovan was another Duxbury wrestler who showed resilience, beating Barnstable’s Pierce Randall by technical fall (16-1), and then Scituate’s Brian Palmer with an impres-sive 14-9 win. Donovan has a tough road ahead, but is also in the mix for a medal.

The finals of the two-day took place on Monday night in Marshfield.

Donoghue eyes wrestling championship

HALF WAy THERE: Duxbury’s Tim Donoghue battles Sandwich’s Sam Cordeiro in the 119-lb. weight class during this past weekend’s Marshfield Holiday Tournament.

Freshman grappler Jake Genereux proved that age is just a number as he pinned two seniors and recorded a techni-cal fall (15-0) on his way to the championship in the 11-team Patriot League Invita-tional held at W-H Regional High School last week.

Genereux recorded a sec-ond-period pin over Rockland senior Fernando Nascimento and then teched North Quincy sophomore Andrew Sok in the first period before pinning Pembroke senior Jon Mecurio in the finals.

Senior captain Tim Dono-ghue sailed through the first two rounds with pins over Rockland’s Jon Bille and Ran-dolph’s Brandon Nguyen be-fore beating W-H’s Alex Perry with a 4-1 decision in the semi finals. However, after get-ting the first takedown against Pembroke’s Mike Bunszell in the finals, a reversal and back points by the Pembroke grap-pler proved to be too much for the Duxbury senior who came up on the short end of a 6-4 de-cision, and had to settle for a

second-place finish. Also finishing second

for Duxbury was junior Alec McKenzie, who had an excel-lent showing in his first varsity tournament. McKenzie beat Hanover’s Mark Stearns, 9-7, and blanked Hingham’s Joe Centurelli, 4-0, before getting pinned by Rockland’s Brian Harrington in the finals.

Freshman Nick Kates re-bounded after getting pinned by the #1 seed in the second round, pinning Quincy’s Ben Cheney and Pembroke’s Brad Wong before tallying an im-pressive 12-3 major decision over Rockland sophomore Ken Decienzo for third place.

The younger Kates did not upstage his older brother, as Rob Kates also took home another third-place finish for the Dragons. The senior grappler, who missed all of last year with a serious injury suffered in football, pinned Pembroke’s Ryan Chapman before Pembroke senior cap-tain Geoff Bullock avenged his teammate’s loss with a 5-0 decision. Kates battled back

with pins over North Quincy’s Calvin Lam and W-H’s Mike Coles to take third.

Junior Pat Donovan felt the effects of not having wrestled any prior matches until the PL Tourney, as he ran out of gas in the third period before losing an 8-3 decision to Scituate’s Brian Palmer. Donovan did not let the loss get him down, as he rallied to beat Pem-broke’s Matt Winn, 7-2, and then pinned Hanover’s Eric Bonome. That set the stage for a rematch with Palmer, and this time Donovan’s double-leg takedown proved to be the difference in a hard fought 12-11 decision. Donovan’s run was short-lived however, as he was pinned by Silver Lake se-nior Mike Miller, giving him a fourth-place finish.

Rounding out the scoring for Duxbury was senior Conor Clark (152), along with fresh-men Cody Dormady (171) and Owen Grey (215), who had two wins each, helping to se-cure a third-place finish for the Dragons behind Pembroke and Whitman-Hanson.

Hockey off to fast start with young squad

Youth lax Registration

had shown in its first three games was nowhere to be found, as they trailed 2-0 after two periods and faced an up-hill battle against the bigger Wildcat squad.

The Dragons kept the game close at 4-2 in the third period on goals by senior defenseman Jake Kearney (Pat Charland) and sophomore center Evan Jackson (Jeff Gaita). However, an empty-net goal ended Dux-bury’s hopes for a comeback win with a 5-2 loss.

“Weymouth had one very good line and they were big-ger and more physical than us,” said Blake. “We just got beat to the puck and barely won any 50/50 pucks in the first period.”

The loss to Weymouth highlighted some of the prob-lems the Dragons will face this year, as they get deeper into their schedule.

“Between the loss of our graduating seniors, the transfer of Phil Sciretta, and the deci-sions of Dan Sangster (soccer) and Kane Haffey (lacrosse) not to come out this season, it kind of left the roster wide open for this year,” said Blake. “It opened up a lot of spots and we feel our sophomore class is very strong. I think we are a lit-tle ahead of where we thought we would be at this point.”

While the Dragons didn’t return any high-profile scorer from last year’s team, they do welcome the return of sopho-more forward Connor Doyle from Catholic Memorial.

“Connor has four goals right now and we’re counting on him for some offense,” said Blake. “He can finish.”

Joining Doyle on the first line will be senior center Pat

Charland and senior captain Ryan Schroeder.

“Pat is one of those kids who wears his emotions on his sleeve. He’s like the energizer bunny. His feet just never stop going, while Ryan is a physi-cal type player who will muck it up in the corners and throw his weight around.”

Blake will look to junior captain Bryan Barry to lead the second line that will have sophomore Tim Harrison at center and sophomore Cam Daly at left wing.

“It’s quite an honor for a junior to be a captain,” said the Duxbury coach. “Bryan has shown leadership on the ice and the ability to finish. He’s got six points already and plays a physical style game.”

Harrison came into camp with a positive attitude and it shows with the hard work he put in in the off season. “Tim made a huge improvement since last year and he should be able to do some damage this year with his size and skills.”

Daly saw some varsity time last year and Blake hopes with his size and skill he’ll be able to produce on a regular basis this time around.

The Dragons currently have a pair of third lines that will continue to battle it out for the majority of playing time.

Junior forward Nick Buon-vicino will center one trio of senior Colin Clark at right wing and Sowa on the left side. Buonvicino has the speed and quickness for the center posi-tion, while Clark has the best shot on the team according to Blake and will be the focus of Duxbury’s set-up men. While Sowa is known for his blue-collar work ethic and willing-ness to go in the corners and do the dirty work, he still has

a scoring touch as evidenced by his nice goal against North Quincy.

The mini line of sopho-mores Evan Jackson, Wil-liams, and Jeff Gaita look like they could give their team-mates a run for their money when it comes to earning more playing time.

“They’ve done a spec-tacular job so far,” said Blake. “They’ve played together be-fore and they just seem to do all the little things to get the job done despite their lack of size.”

Also expected to see some time up front is senior Charlie Cowen, who scored his first varsity goal in last week’s win over North Quincy

With so many new players up front, the Dragons will be relying on their defense and the goaltending of Mathews.

Senior Jake Kearney will anchor the Duxbury defense along with classmate Richard Dowling. Both defenders have

good size and did an excellent job in helping hold opponents to just five goals in the first three games.

Junior Stephan Krall likes the physical game back on the blue line and can set the tone according to Blake, while his partner, junior Joe Coyne, has made the transition from for-ward to defense after experi-menting with it at the end of last year.

Sophomore Mitch Bar-rington has all the makings of a solid defenseman for the next three years. “He’s got good hands and is very smooth with the puck,” said his coach. “He really sees the ice well and will be instrumental on our power-play.”

Sophomore Ken Jacobson will be the stay-at-home, take-the-body defenseman paired with Barrington.

Mathews has played all the games in net so far with his best game coming in the 2-2 tie with St. John’s.

“Up to this point Tim gives us our best chance of win-ning,” said Blake. “He looked the best in the pre-season, but we also hope to get sophomore Ian Ikeda some playing time too during the season.”

Although the Dragons have scored 17 goals in their first four games, Blake doesn’t expect to win a lot of blow-outs.

“Our defense is our strength and a lot of our kids up front don’t have a lot of var-sity experience,” said Blake. “If we are going to win, it will most likely be in low scoring games. Because of our size, bigger teams might intimidate us. The fact is that we have so many new faces, it might take a little while to get things go-ing. We’ll be a lot better as the season goes along.”

On Wednesday night the Dragons will take on Hanover at Hobomock Arena at 6:10.

The Duxbury Bay Mari-time School Junior Sailing Committee hosted the first An-nual DBMS Alumni Holiday Party. Since it was founded in 1997, the Duxbury Bay Mari-time School has developed youth sailors that have gone on to compete throughout New England, on a national level, and even international-ly. In fact, there are at present over 35 DBMS graduates that are sailing at a college level at some of the top schools and sailing programs in the US, including MIT, Boston Col-lege, College of Charleston, St. Mary’s, and Georgetown. Many of these former students still work at DBMS in the sum-mers as sailing instructors for the school’s next generation of elite sailors.

The new DBMS facility was the site for the holiday party. The event was well at-tended, with over 35 former students and instructors in at-tendance, as well as present members of the DBMS Junior

420 Race Team. Members of the Junior Sailing Committee and DBMS staff volunteered to provide appetizers and des-erts for the event.

“It is really impressive how many of our former ju-nior sailors have gone on to find success in college and beyond,” noted Terry Watson, chairman of the DBMS Junior Sailing Committee and father of College of Charleston sail-or Kip Watson. “The evening provided a great opportunity for these former teammates to reconnect with each other.”

In addition to reuniting the DBMS alumni, five college sailors held a College Sailing Question and Answer session for current high school sailing families. The sailors, Kathryn Metcher and Cori Decollibus (College of Charleston), Zach Runci (Old Dominion), Ade-line Smith (St. Mary’s), and Matt Smith (Rollins College) led the discussion that covered topics including finding the right college, the admissions

process, balancing sailing and academics in college, and fielded questions from parents and students for an hour prior to the holiday party.

As one former stu-dent stated, “The skills I de-veloped through my summers sailing at DBMS have helped me be successful at the col-lege level. The friendships I developed will last a lifetime.” For those families unable to attend, copies of the handouts are still available by contact-ing DBMS.

DBMS provides instruc-tion to over 1,600 students per year, from basic sailing and water safety classes to training for sailors that will compete at the highest levels. It is re-garded as among the leading sailing programs in New Eng-land for novice and advanced sailing instruction, as well as ACCESSAIL, a nationally recognized, award-winning program that provides sailing opportunities for those with disabilities.

MASONRY

The Duxbury Free Li-brary’s next film in the Fourth Friday Film series, “Far From Heaven,” directed by Todd Haynes will screen on Friday, Jan. 22 at 7 p.m. in the Merry Room, library lower level. This movie is a meticulous and loving re-creation of a

1950’s Hollywood melodrama in which the emotional and socio-political undercurrents are allowed free play. Finely calibrated performances by Julianne Moore and Dennis Haysbert allow Dennis Quaid to shine.

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.For further information,

781-934-2721 x100 or go to www.duxburyfreelibrary.org.

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.
