When searching for an Eagle Scout project, local Boy Scout Kevin Coakley knew he wanted to do something that would have a lasting impact.

“My dad’s in the army,” he said. “So I wanted to do a meaningful project and help out veterans.”

Through his father, the young scout made a connec-tion with State Representative

Hank Naugh-ton, who sits on the Veter-an’s Affairs Commit tee on Beacon Hill. Coakley e v e n t u a l l y got in touch

with the New England Shelter for Homeless Veterans, located on Court Street in Boston.

Rush deadline for schools?School Committee seeks build money at May Town Meeting

By susanna sheehan, Clipper staff [email protected]

This week the School Building Committee told Duxbury selectmen they want to call a special Town Meeting this fall to fund a feasibility study and schematic design for a new combined middle and high school in order to present the entire project to the March 2011 Town Meet-ing for approval.

The motivation to fast-track a new school building

comes from the Massachusetts School Building Authority, which has moved Duxbury’s project into its funding pipe-line because it feels the town can get the project done, said School Building Committee chairman Elizabeth Lewis.

Lewis and her commit-tee told selectmen they would like a special Town Meeting this fall to ask for between $300,000 to $700,000 for a study and schematic design

It’s a simple message, but one that a Duxbury-based company hopes will resonate –– that it’s OK to feel like a million bucks.

The fledgling t-shirt com-pany’s recent launch has been bolstered, in addition, by the

inclusion of their products in the “swag bags” given out by the Montage Hotel in Beverly Hills to celebrities during the Emmy awards.

The company’s logo, “FLAMBUCKS,” which stands for Feel Like a Mil-lion Bucks, aims to spread a

Students in Duxbury will head back to school on Wednesday, and there will be some changes for the district –– including a new face in the corner office.

Dr. Benedict Tantillo sat in on his first School Committee meeting last Wednesday, and he was eager to get to work.

“I’m happy to be here,” he told the committee. “I appreci-ate the warm welcome from the staff and the community members I’ve met so far.”

Tantillo said his office saw 110 new students register over the summer, which in his expe-rience was a large number. He also said the district has hired three new assistant principals and over 20 teachers, although with retirements there is a net loss of a few teachers.

Teachers and staff came back to their respective build-ings on Aug. 30, and students were set to return Sept. 1.

“Our crews have been working hard,” Tantillo said. “It looks like we are ready for next week.”

Duxbury High School Principal Andrew Stephens said he was excited about the upcoming year. There are 13

A mass of reddish-tinted seaweed washed up on Dux-bury Beach last week.

Harbormaster Don Beers said the seaweed was stirred up by the storm that also brought heavy rains to the re-gion. Beers said that he has only seen the phenomenon a handful of times during his tenure as Harbormaster.

“It’s not unusual when you have a storm of that velocity that came in that weekend,” he said. North and northeast winds stirred up the ocean and deposited the red plants on the shore.

While there is no immedi-ate danger from the seaweed, in large amounts it can hinder access to the beach, Beers said. Also, if the seaweed stays on the shore for an extended peri-od, it can start to smell and can attract flies and other bugs. In

the off-season, it tends to get left alone.

On Thursday, Department of Public Works crews went down to the beach with heavy machinery and moved the seaweed off the public beach. Duxbury Beach Park also hired a private contractor to remove weeds from their beach.

Over Friday night and Sat-urday morning, more weeds had washed up on the beach, but not nearly at the same vol-

ume as earlier in the week, Beers said.

“Between the DPW and the contractor at Duxbury Beach Park, they did a fantastic job,” he said.

The Harbormaster and DPW are also preparing for the potential landfall of Hurricane Earl. There will be a meeting on Thursday to create a plan in case the storm hits Duxbury’s shores.

Beachgoers over the weekend may have noticed a red seaweed covering the beach. Harbormaster Don Beers said the weeds were washed on shore by the recent storm. This photo was taken Saturday but the weeds were more prevalent earlier in the week.

Learning is a Journey Children Enjoy Taking Together.

Last chance for adventureThe number of children attaining world traveler status

in the Passport to Adventure summer reading program at the Duxbury Free Library is expanding daily. To become a world traveler, children had to follow a path on their passports and use their reading to travel to all seven continents. Read-to-me children also participated.

Readers have until the end of this week, Saturday, Sept. 4, to bring their passport to the children’s department and select their free paperback book. Books are donated by the Friends of the Duxbury Free Library in celebration of the children’s reading accomplishments.


new staff members at the high school, including new assis-tant principal Kathleen Mc-Donough.

Building-wise, there have been some technology im-provements, including putting smartboards (electronic chalk-boards) in all math classes, projectors for the English De-partment and four smartboards for science teachers.

Stephens said that school officials are trying to make sure technology upgrades, like the smartboards, take place over entire departments.

“You run into an equity issue if you don’t outfit the department in a reasonable amount of time,” he said.

The staff is also expanding the co-teaching model, where a subject teacher works with a special education staffer to in-tegrate classrooms.

“In a really well-done

co-taught class you can’t tell who is who,” Stephens said. “It’s really helping service the kids on IEPs [Individualized Education Plan] ... while at the same time being accessible to every kid that’s in there.”

A major change for students last year was the shift in start times. Halfway through the year, the times were tweaked a bit further, from 8:15 to 8:20 a.m. Stephens said that will be the same, but noted that when the start time was adjusted, the dismissal time stayed the same –– 2:45 p.m.

“The big thing was listen-ing to the kids and the faculty,” he said. “Having us go later was really jamming up kids in terms of after school activities and work.”

The five minutes were made up by adjusting the passing times. This year, high school officials have reworked those times, moving lunches around so that students have more time in between classes.

At the Alden School, Principal Christopher Trom-bly only has one new face as a classroom teacher, a former in-house substitute who is tak-ing over a third grade class. He said that rather than sweeping

curriculum changes, his school is going to continue long-term improvements that were al-ready in the works.

“We put a lot of balls into motion last year and the year before,” he said. “Now we’re going to be able to cultivate the seeds that we’ve sown.”

Alden and Chandler are

working with a Duxbury Edu-cation Foundation grant to re-vamp the elementary science curriculum. The grant paid for professional development time for teachers, materials and a consultant.

“We realigned what we’re teaching, when we’re teaching it,” Trombly said.

In the technology realm, Alden was able to add a mo-bile Mac computer lab to their existing computer lab, effec-tively doubling teachers’ abil-ity to book a computer lesson. The existing lab was also re-done through the regular bud-get, so Alden students will be working with brand-new com-puters.

Alden was also affected by the start time shift last year, with students coming to school earlier. The elementary school didn’t make any schedule ad-justments, but Trombly said there will be a slight change to the drop off circle behind the school. Rather than have par-ents enter the circle then fight traffic to get out, the circle itself will be blocked off and parents will simply pull over to drop their child off.

“It causes traffic because people leaving the circle have to cut through traffic,” he

said. “It’s nice in theory but in practice it hasn’t been what it should be.”

At Chandler, Principal Su-zanne Billingham is also deal-ing with minimal staff chang-es, also having an in-house sub becoming a full-time teacher.

“We’ve been registering children,” she said this week. “We’re really exited about the start. Being the early entry school, this is where we get to meet the family.”

Billingham said one of the biggest changes for her will be dealing with the new lunch program, which was recently privatized with the company Chartwells.

“The menu looks really ex-citing, I think it’s going to be a great thing,” she said. “They put up some cute posters ... they’re going to work with me to do some education pieces.”

Billingham said she is also looking forward to working with Tantillo.

“He’s a very positive guy, I think it’s going to be a great opportunity for all of us,” she said.

The Mission of the New England Center for Homeless Veterans is to extend a help-ing hand to homeless men and women veterans who are addressing the challenges of addiction, trauma, severe and persistent mental illness, and/or unemployment, and who will commit themselves to sobriety, non-violence, and working for personal change, according to the organization’s Web site.

“It’s a great place and they do a great service for veter-ans,” Coakley said.

The shelter’s current book collection isn’t very large and fits in an old bank vault (the shelter building used to be the Federal Reserve.) The books are old, and the video selection is mostly VHS.

Coakley will be collecting books and DVDs in four loca-tions: the Alden and Chandler schools, the Senior Center and Holy Family Church. Although his project was approved in May, he wanted to wait until the school year started so that

he could collect books and DVDs at the schools. The ma-terials will be stored at Holy Family.

“We’re looking for any books or DVDs that are in us-able condition,” he said.

The items will be col-lected from Sept. 7-17. After that, Coakley and some fel-low scouts will organize, cata-logue and pack everything up, and representatives from the shelter will come pick up the boxes.

“I hope to collect enough to really stock the library,” he said.

Coakley has been involved with scouting from an early age, when he joined the Tiger Cubs. At age 14, he is younger than most Eagle candidates (boys must complete their Ea-gle project and merit badge re-quirements by the age of 18.)

“I advanced through the ranks really quickly,” he said. “I love the camping and group interaction.”

“It’s a distinction not a lot of people have,” he said, speaking about becoming an Eagle. “It shows real leader-ship.”

Eagle Scout candidate Kevin Coakley is collecting books and DVDs that he will donate to the New England Shelter for Homeless Veterans.

New faces on the culinary scene

By miChelle Conway, Clipper Columnist [email protected]

The South Shore is suddenly bustling with new and improved places to eat, drink and relax. Alongside the tried and true haunts, a few new spots, and lots

of new ideas are cropping up, offering food-lovers a whole new range of choices.

A sleek new lunch truck is parked in the lot at Ember, 459 Plain Street Marshfield. A simple, but delicious menu of grilled high quality hot dogs, burgers and flatbread sandwiches can be eaten under the umbrel-

las near the gleaming truck, or under the shade of nearby trees. Lunch trucks are all the rage – let’s hope Ember is sparking a fire that will catch on!

The ever popular Quincy standard, La Paloma, has opened a second location in Kingston (114 Main Street – opposite Percy’s). Offering “an extensive Mexican menu ranging from simple Enchiladas to complex Paella,” La Paloma bottles their award-winning salsa, has affordable nightly specials, lots of seating and a bustling bar with a long list of specialty margari-tas.

The renamed and revamped Brimstone Tavern, 615 Wash-ington Street, Pembroke (formerly the Winery 53) is meeting the neighborhoods need for a friendly spot with spot on food at reasonable prices. Same owners but a new chef, new menu and a new look. Live entertainment on weekends, Duxbury Oyster Tuesdays and a soon-to-open function space round out the Tavern.

Yo Taco, Railroad Avenue, Duxbury, serves up affordable, fresh made Mexican take out and Fro Yo, a tasty low fat frozen yogurt with a range of sweet mix-ins. A flip flop atmosphere, pastel Adirondacks and a smoker out back tempt the senses.

14 Union Dockside Bar and Grill in Plymouth is shed-ding its party-all-the-time atmosphere and has rewritten the menu with new dishes to complement the standard favorites. The marina view is spectacular, the crowd convivial and the entertainment lends a mellow vibe to the place.

The Sun Tavern, 500 Congress Street, Duxbury is an old (250-plus years old) favorite. Recently reopened by a previous owner, the Tavern has a new open concept kitchen, an expand-ed bar and a menu with some zesty choices. The Sun Tavern is not your grandmother’s tavern anymore!

Marshfield has a nearly all-organic deli in Anna’s Country Kitchen, 1899 Ocean Street. The from scratch pancakes and eggs dishes in the morning, the piled high sandwiches in the afternoon are all made with the freshest ingredients and served with local flavor and hospitality.

ernance structure.”Bill is a Certified Finan-

simple but positive message in the vein of the Life is Good shirts.

The company was started by Jim Hill of Ryan’s Lane and his wife Beth. The idea, Jim Hill said, came from a conversation with his brother.

“I thought it was a great philosophy,” he said.

Right now, the company is being run out of the Hill’s basement.

“I’ve read about business-es but I’ve never started my own,” said Hill, who works in the financial services industry. “I’m not quitting my day job right now but we’re going to take a go at this.”

FLAMBUCKS launched a Web site and began selling shirts over the Internet. Then, Hill made a connection with a marketing person in town who in turn had a connection with a company that fills the gift bags given to celebrities at awards shows.

“This is a very ‘start from scratch’ type of business,” he said.

The list of celebrities who received the gift bags includes

Emmys host Jimmy Fallon, Kyra Segwick, Jennifer Love Hewitt, True Blood stars Anna Paquin and Alexander Skars-gard and a dozen or so more.

Hill said he’d be happy to see any one of the TV stars wearing his shirt.

“I guess it would take the right person who thinks that thinking positive is the right idea,” he said.

The Hollywood exposure is nice, Hill said, but he knows that it will take local word of mouth if the company is to truly take off.

“You hear about stories like silly bandz, that just started by word of mouth,” he said.

The shirts are being print-ed by local company, Rock-land Athletic, and will be sold at Sportworks in Duxbury as well as the Web site. The Hills also hope to use social media like Facebook and Twitter to spread the brand.

“I’m learning as I’m go-ing,” Hill said, “but I definitely have a road map.”

Locally-made t-shirts featured at Emmy awards

Some local models show off the FLAMBUCKS t-shirts, which were included in swag bags given out to A-list celebrities at the recent Emmy awards. The Duxbury-based company is also selling the shirts at Sportworks.

Sister Helen Prejean, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of “Dead Man Walking” will speak at First Parish Church

U n i t a r i a n U n i v e r s a l -ist Duxbury on Saturday Sept. 18. Sr. Helen’s talk is free and open to the public.

Having dedicated her life to the poor of New Orleans, Sister Helen began her prison ministry in 1981 when she became pen pals with Patrick Sonnier, the convicted killer of two teenagers, sentenced to die in the electric chair of Louisi-ana’s Angola State Prison. At Sonnier’s invitation, she visit-ed him as his spiritual advisor.

Sr. Helen’s talk will begin

at 4 p.m. The church is located at 842 Tremont St. (Route 3A). Copies of Sr. Helens’ books will be available for purchase at a reception following her talk and Sr. Helen will be available to autograph copies for those who are interested.

First Parish Church Dux-bury is planning other events focused on raising public awareness of the death penalty. On Friday, Sept. 10, the movie “Dead Man Walking” will be shown in the Church’s Harvey Assembly Hall and in October there will be a potluck supper followed by a discussion of the movie, Sr. Helen’s talk and the death penalty. Both are open to the public.

Call 781-934-6532 for more information.

Just a year ago a group of photography enthusiasts de-cided to re-launch the Duxbury Camera Club. Now, with near-ly 70 members, from begin-ners to advanced shooters, the club enjoys monthly meetings as well as regularly scheduled members’ workshops and field trips. The purpose of the club is to promote the study, un-derstanding, improvement and enjoyment of photography.

On Wednesday, Sept. 8 the fall season will kick off with nationally recognized night photographer Lance Keimig, author of the new book, “Night Sky,” Finding Your Way in the Dark. This is an opportunity to see his work and learn some night photography techniques. Later in the evening, he will be available for a book signing.

Lance has been teaching photography since 1997 at the New England School of Pho-tography and the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Bos-ton. He also leads night pho-tography workshops across the U.S. and has been the curator at Harvard University’s Three

Columns Gallery since 2005.Upcoming regular month-

ly programs include Oct. 6, An Exploration of Photo Software Options, and Nov. 3, An All Critique Night when members will receive feedback on their work from noted photogra-pher and artist Becky Haletky. Scheduled workshops start with an Introduction to the Duxbury Camera Club Web site led by webmaster, Rob Gilmore. Here members will learn how to maximize use of the new site and load their im-ages to the members’ galler-ies section. In another popular workshop, Getting Off P, be-ginner and intermediate pho-tographers can learn how to fully utilize their digital cam-eras. Monthly field trips begin with a nighttime trip to the Plymouth waterfront as fol-low-up to the Keimig presen-tation on night photography.

Duxbury Camera Club meets the first Wednesday of each month (except July and August) from 7-9:15 p.m. in the Merry Room of the Dux-bury Free Library. For a full

preview of upcoming events visit the club’s site at dux-burycameraclub.org.

Monthly meetings are open to all, while workshops, critiques and field trips are open to members only. For more information e-mail [email protected] or stop by the Sept. 8 meeting.

Summer is a great time to re-evaluate your mortgage needs!

of a “co-located” middle and high school that would be built either on the upper portion of Train field near the library or on the site of the current middle school. DMS would be razed and a new high school built on its site with a middle school constructed behind it.

Town Meeting voters in 2009 approved $200,000 and voters later approved a Prop-osition 2 1/2 debt exclusion override to pay for a feasibil-ity study of the conditions of both the middle and the high schools. DMS was built in 1958 and DHS in 1960, and both are at the end of their 50-year life expectancy. The study, which was recently completed, presented six op-tions for the schools, includ-ing renovation, replacement, partial addition and renova-tion and a combined school. In June, both the state SBA and the Duxbury School Building Committee agreed a combined school would be the best op-tion.

Lewis told selectmen that even though the town has completed its own feasibility study, the Mass. School Build-ing Authority may be looking for more or different informa-tion and that is why they are combining a feasibility study with the cost of a schematic design. Until the building com-mittee meets with the MSBA, they will not know how much more study is required and how much it will cost.

Lewis said the town needed to do its own feasibility study to find out how much money the schools needed for repairs for capital planning purposes.

“We clearly stated that the MSBA may or may not accept this study when we did it,” Lewis told selectmen.

The building committee wants town officials to call a special Town Meeting this fall to fund the study, the schemat-ic design and pay for a project

manager. This special meeting will be followed with a Propo-sition 2 1/2 debt override bal-lot question at a special town election. There was some confusion at the selectmen’s meeting as to whether a special town election could be called just for a tax override but the matter was later clarified and they discovered that this pre-sented no problem. The town clerk must receive the ballot question 35 days prior to the special election day.

If the town can fund a fol-low-up feasibility study and schematic design, then Lewis said the architects can have plans ready for next year’s an-nual Town Meeting. Then resi-dents could vote on the entire design and construction costs of the project. MSBA requires that towns fund design and construction together, Lewis said. Funding would require another debt exclusion over-ride at the annual town elec-tion in March.

“It’s aggressive but the ar-chitects think it can be done,” said Lewis, adding that the schematic design will have building plans and renderings so the public would know what they would be approving. The schematic design also makes cost estimating more realistic for the final project.

The estimated costs of a combined middle and high school could be as high as $145 million. Currently, Dux-bury stands to be reimbursed 40 percent by the MSBA, bringing the costs down to $87 million. According to infor-mation provided at this year’s town meeting by the Fiscal Advisory Board, the project, depending upon interest rates, could add $1,414 to an aver-age tax bill in the first year of financing.

If the MSBA and the town work together on a “model school design,” Duxbury stands to gain another 5 per-cent or $7 million. The model

school design would be then shared with other school sys-tems looking to plan a co-located school, although the plans would not be one-size-fits-all, said Lewis.

If Duxbury does not get approval for funding either at a special or at the annual Town Meeting, the town risks being moved to the bottom of the state’s priority list, said Lewis.

Lewis said her committee intends to involve the commu-nity and seek their opinions and desires throughout the school project design process.

“It’s an opportunity to get two schools addressed at once,” said Lewis. “I would ask for your trust and your support.”

In response, selectmen were skeptical about the fast timeline and non-committal about the funding. Also, they did not commit to calling a special Town Meeting for this autumn.

Selectman Betsy Sulli-van said she did not think the community was aware of the committee’s plans to fast track the combined project for next year’s Town Meeting and she added that residents will start to become engaged quickly once the committee starts talk-ing about the project’s costs.

“I think you will be taken aback by the level of shock in the community,” said Sul-livan.

Lewis said the committee will do everything it can to sell the project to townspeople.

Selectmen wanted the building committee to get back to them with the costs of the feasibility study and sche-matic design as soon as they could.

Selectmen Chairman Shawn Dahlen said his board will facilitate getting the infor-mation from the building com-mittee out to the voters.

Selectmen, school officials talk school building plans



THE ROAD LESS TRAVELED Reports of high rates of severe injury among children, including spi-nal injuries, have prompted many health professionals to voice con-cern about all-terrain vehicle (ATV) safety. According to one study, nearly 4,500 children in the United States were injured in ATV-related accidents during one recent year, at least a 140 percent increase in the overall number of children in-jured since a decade prior and a 467 percent increase in spinal in-juries. While spinal injuries can be devastating for anyone, they can be particularly so for youngsters. Seventy percent of these injuries occurred in children under age 16, and spinal injuries were more com-mon in older girls. No one wants to see these preventable injuries in anyone, let alone children.

An oyster’s lifeA photo journey behind the scenes with the workers at Duxbury’s Island Creek Oysters

Over the last couple of years, the oyster farming business has been booming in Duxbury. Clipper photographer Karen Wong went behind the scenes with the folks from Island Creek to see just how an oyster goes from a tiny seed to the delicious bivalve on your plate.

After spending 4 to 6 weeks in the nursery, the oysters are taken out of the bags and planted on the bay floor.

The oysters grow incredibly fast, produce a lot of waste, and have to be sorted by size. Ryan Ederle (above) works for one of Island Creek’s many growers. After about 4-6 weeks, the seed has grown to the size of a quarter (below) and can be moved to the nursery.

Once the oysters reach the nurs-ery, staffers like Maggie Ogden (below) scrub and clean the bags almost daily to maintain maxi-mum water flow.

Oyster seed, which Island Creek Oysters secures from two New England hatcheries, arrives in Duxbury in the spring when it’s the size of a grain of sand. It’s placed into a floating upwelling system (above, right) set under the docks of the Duxbury Bay Maritime School, giving it maximum exposure to the nutrient-rich Duxbury Bay water. Island Creek staffers like Michelle Wong (above) are tasked with keeping the seed clean on a regular basis.

The oysters are transferred from the upwellers to the nursery; Will Heward and Andy Puopolo place some into plastic mesh bags (above, left) that Island Creek founder Skip Bennett (above, right) places on a line to float in the Back River or in metal cages on the flats of Duxbury Bay.


After the oysters are planted, they grow “free range” for about 12 months. The entire process from seed to harvest takes 18 months. Farmers like Andy Yberg pick the oysters by hand (above, left) and sort them by size, shape and quality (above, right). Because oysters sold in Massachusetts have to be at least three inches long, farmers use sizing rings (right) as a guide.

Cory Wyman spends much of his day making deliveries to Boston’s finest kitchens. Here, he is at Sam’s on Boston’s Fan Pier.

The oysters are cleaned and counted into bags on floating processing facilities, like this one, called the OysterPlex. Next, the famous yellow bags are delivered to Island Creek headquarters on Parks Street.

The oysters are loaded onto trucks by wholesale employees like Cory Wyman and Tom Reale to be hand-delivered to local restaurants or packed into boxes to be shipped overnight around the country. The oysters land on tables from Boston to Hong Kong within 24 hours of coming out of the water.

Island Creek Oysters are served at the country’s best resturants, including The French Laundry in Napa Valley, Alinea in Chicago, and of course, Fenway Park’s State Street Pavilion.

Though they travel far and wide, Island Creek Oysters are also a local favorite. In Kingston, Solstice chef-owner John Cataldi prepares them with a yuzu sorbet, green onions and a Thai chili-and-chive sauce.


I’m mystified by the letter in last week’s “Clipper” entitled “A

Duxbury exodus?” The writer is critical of Duxbury for fail-ing to provide “an attractive cluster of condos … for the 55 plus group.”

More than two years ago my wife and I decided to re-turn to Duxbury after 13 years in the Los Angeles area. We found exactly such a commu-nity in Duxbury Estates where

we have lived for more than a year and a half.

In its original biblical meaning, an exodus happens when you leave a less desir-able place like the desert for the more desirable promised land not vice versa. We left an actual desert and found the – well don’t let me get carried away, but you know the rest of the story.

Back to School for Duxbury

studentsWednesday, the doors of Chandler, Alden, DMS

and Duxbury High School will open to students once more.

It’s never easy for students to leave the freedom of summer behind for the confines of the classroom. But go they must, cheered on by parents who can barely hide their excitement to have the house to themselves. They ride buses across town – make sure you check out last week’s Clipper for the routes! –– and arrive at either an entirely new building or at the very least a new grade, with new teachers and new classmates.

There’s a new face at the head of the class as well. Dr. Benedict Tantillo joins the Duxbury Public Schools from New Jersey. Although he’s a Yankee’s fan, we’ll give him the benefit of the doubt –– he seems to have a passion for education, and energy and a willingness to think outside the box that may be just what Duxbury needs.

For the students, they come into a system that is ever-changing and increasingly complex. It’s cliché to talk to young men and women about how hard you had it back in the old days, but the reality is that the world of a student is different than it was 20, 10 or even five years ago. In the classroom, kids have to deal with standardized tests and teachers that are continually overburdened with state and federal mandates. Colleges are more competitive, and the time demands on an average student, between school, sports, work and other activities are sometimes ludicrous.

Outside the classroom, students are assaulted by images of violence and over-sexualized celebrities. They can be bullied by text message outside of school hours and the smallest of mistakes can end up as a photo on Facebook for all the world to see.

But it isn’t all doom and gloom. Those same technology resources can open up a world of information, and by extension, education, with the touch of a button. Duxbury is lucky enough to have a wonderful school system with dedicated teachers and administrators. Parents are involved and supportive of their kids. For most students in this town, the future looks bright. So good luck students, and may the school year be a fun, productive and memorable one.

Bipartisan supportThis week, Beacon Hill Roll Call released their list

of attendance records for state representatives. Duxbury’s representatives, Republican Daniel Webster and Democrat Tom Calter both earned perfect scores, with neither man missing a vote. In a time where many politicians treat their duties as part-time, it’s good to know Duxbury always had a voice at the table. Kudos to Mr. Webster and Mr. Calter.

Destination Duxbury ——————————

Thanks for Crossroads article ––––––––––––

Last week, an article ran on page three of the Clipper about

our son, Michael Houghton, who suffered a head injury while vacationing in the White Mountains of NH. We wish to clarify the story. The article suggests that Michael and his father were out camping alone at 11:45 p.m. on Mt. Adams when he took a five-foot fall and was then taken to Crag Camp. While he did take a fall, he was not out hiking or camp-

ing at the time of his accident. We were backpacking as a fam-ily and had hiked from the trail-head that morning and arrived at our destination, Crag Camp, a shelter owned and operated by the Randolph Mountain Club that afternoon. We planned to stay for two nights before mov-ing onto another nearby hut for the third night. That night after dinner, we went to bed. Our son awoke just before midnight and accidentally fell off the four person platform bed while get-

ting up to go to the bathroom. We are so very grateful that our son will recover fully from his injuries and are extremely thankful to all of the brave and dedicated men and women (many from volunteer rescue organizations) who hiked up in the middle of the night to help our family and ensure our sons safety. Words cannot describe our gratitude and appreciation to all involved!

Press release didn’t tell the whole story

The article about Camp Wing in last week’s Clipper was

wonderful! Thank you for bringing Crossroads for Kids to the attention of our readers and thanks to Karen Wong for the great photos. The dedication and compassion of the Cross-roads staff and volunteers both at Camp Wing and in the Lead-ership Training programs is tru-ly an inspiration. It’s amazing to

think that an organization like this is in our own backyard—providing a safe community and life-changing experiences for at risk youth right here in Duxbury. The kids whose lives are touched by Crossroads de-velop respect, confidence and trust, unlocking their potential to become productive, success-ful leaders.

For those interested in sup-porting Crossroads for Kids,

the annual Harvest Moon Party will be Saturday, Oct. 16 out at Camp Wing. This year’s event will be a Casino Night. It’s a great way to get involved and help ensure that the year round support for the kid’s of Cross-roads continues.

to thank everyone who helped out at the scene; the lady who called me from my son’s cell-phone, the woman who com-forted my son until the para-medics arrived, and lastly the

As Regional Trans-portation Represen-tative for the Town

of Duxbury, I wanted to share with you that the GATRA bus can help provide transportation to the Kingston Train Station for those of you who commute to Boston or for students that attend private schools in Brain-tree, Quincy and Boston. The GATRA bus stops at Millbrook Motors, Duxbury Library, Hall’s Corner and Island Creek or “wave it down” along the route to connect with the 7:07, 7:32 or 8:30 a.m. trains. On the way home at the end of the day, the bus stops at the Kingston train station to pick up riders at

3:47, 5:25 and 6:40 p.m. The fare for an adult rider

is $1 each way and the cost for a student is $.50 each way. Weekly and monthly passes are available at the Customer Ser-vice desk at the Independence Mall. For additional informa-

tion regarding the GATRA schedule go to www.gatra.org or call 508-732-6010.

Please disregard letter ——

There was a well-intentioned letter put in the Clipper about two weeks ago regarding my family and a recent loss of someone very close to us. The letter was mis-

leading and made a lot of our friends, past and present, concerned. this is to apologize for the previous letter, and to say the Enos family is fine and appreciates your concern. Please disregard the previous publication. Our family is fine and wishes you the best.

It’s difficult to go a day in any school commu-nity without hearing

the word bullying. Sadly, it’s taken not one, but many youth suicides across the country for adults and politicians to wake up to the social realities our children face today. So-cial networking and its toxic by-product of cyber-bullying remains an uncharted, un-regulated world, a world that challenges children, parents, teachers and law enforcers ev-ery day.

The blame game played out at home, in schools and on the fields is only natu-ral: “the schools aren’t do-ing enough”… “bullies are bred at home”… “kids will be kids”… or even worse … “he’s just a bad kid”… “she’s just a mean girl.” Whether a child is perceived to be a bully, a bystander, or the victim – in a traditional or cyber bullying situation – the level of toler-ance for disrespect and bully-ing today is everyone’s prob-lem. It infects our children’s education, our family life and the very fabric of our commu-nity.

But thankfully, it’s also an opportunity to take action, rather than perpetuate the by-stander role. A chance to cre-ate a culture where bullying is not OK and respect becomes the norm. As adults, we don’t

need permission to make sure our children are feeling emo-tionally connected or behaving in socially appropriate ways. Setting boundaries, staying connected and knowing what our kids are really doing in cyber land or in school is not only OK, it’s our responsibil-ity as parents.

But how and when do we do this? What do we do when we don’t like what we hear or see online or in the lunch room? When and how do we get involved? In many ways it’s easier to stay ignorant about what’s out there. But the ugly side of social networking and bullying hurts kids, fami-lies, schools and our commu-nity. And it’s certainly a bigger issue than any child, parent, teacher or coach should have to manage alone.

The Duxbury community appears to be confronting bul-lying head-on. The Schools have created a community wide Bullying Task Force that will revise policies by year end and guide programs on prevention and intervention. On Sept. 7, No Place for Hate will host 16-year-old author of “Dorie Witts Guide to Surviv-ing Bullies” for students and parents. On Sept. 28, The Par-ent Connection, in partnership with Duxbury High School PTO and Alden PTA, will host an anti-bullying program fea-turing Dr. Elizabeth England-er, the Massachusetts leader in cyber-bullying. Following

Dr. Englander’s talk, a panel of experts and educators will answer questions and address concerns from the audience.

This is a great start on an important community issue. The Parent Connection encour-ages parents, grandparents, teachers and students to partic-ipate in these events with open eyes and ears. If you’d like to share your thoughts, ask ques-tions or read what colleagues, friends and neighbors have to say about bullying, join the conversation attheparentcon-nection.org/blog. You can also log on totheparentconnection.org for more information on any of these events.

The No Place for Hate Committee will confront the issue of bullying in an assem-bly on Sept. 7 at the Middle School. 16-year-old Brigitte Berman, author of the book “Dorie Witt’s Guide to Sur-viving Bullies,” will be the featured speaker. Berman will also speak to interested par-ents and students at 7 p.m. that evening in the Middle School Auditorium.

“Dorie Witt’s Guide to

Surviving Bullies” is a fic-tional account of a girl, Dorie Witt, who deals with many challenges that today’s girls and boys face. Dorie endures the difficult transition from grade school to junior high. She offers realistic approach-es to solving problems and provides a “how to resource guide” from the unique point of a teenager and leaves us with the universal message of tolerance.

Berman wrote this book in eighth grade at the age of 14 because she felt an urgent need to raise the consciousness and take action on the topic of bul-lying. She has spent the last year touring schools and com-munities speaking about all aspects of bullying.

For more informa-tion you can contact the No Place for Hate Committee at 781-934-8388, [email protected].

Physical exams needed

Students, prior to entering seventh grade this fall of 2010, must have a current physical exam and immunization re-cord on file in the DMS health office. This is in concurrence with Massachusetts state reg-ulations. Notices were sent home earlier this year for each student specifically indicating if any items were needed. As of Aug. 15, 100 students have not submitted the necessary records.

Please mail or drop off the paperwork to DMS at 71 Alden St. This documentation should be submitted to the health office before the first day of school. Thank you to the many parents who have al-ready sent in their forms. Any questions or concerns please contact the school nurse, Don-na Doyle, after Aug. 30.

Duxbury is ‘no place for bullies!’

Acorns fill my yard this year. Expect plenty of snow. It’s a dreamy time, but hardly

a time to tuck yourself in and wait for spring. September and October offer some of the best weather around here, and bargains can be had for outdoor activities here and abroad.

The Duxbury Bay Maritime School offers a shortened sailboat rental package through Sept. 12 for $275. Duxbury Bay quirks quite a bit

regarding the presence of water, so you have to check the schedule at the DBMS Web site (www.dbms.org), but the program offers experienced sailors a chance for two-hour sails every day except Labor Day, Sept. 6, weather

permitting. Betts Murray coordinates the program. The best way to reach her is through her e-mail – [email protected] – or call the Maritime School at 781-934-7555, ext.109.

Warning: Betts made it clear that the DBMS season is nearly finished, and the Hurricane Earl may make an appearance. On the other hand, the required qualification test and sail ($40) taken this year would set you up to start sailing right away when the 2011 season opens.

WHAT’S GOING ON HERE?

Take a sail at summer’s end

A crew of Duxbury sail-ors recently competed in the 332-nautical mile race from Stonington, Connecticut to Boothbay Harbor, with owner and skipper Dave Caso calling the Lobster Run “the perfect three-day race in the middle of the summer.”

A crew composed of Caso, Sam Lawson, Keith Pratt, Ned Lawson, Terry Watson and Ted Lawson sailed Caso’s Cheru-bini 44 named Silhouette in a fleet of 16 boats that started in Stonington on July 23. The course went right past Block Island to two marks 60 miles southeast of Nantucket, then straight up to Boothbay.

The start was delayed for three hours due to a lack of wind that eventually turned light from the southeast. Be-cause the wind was anticipated to build, the first decision was whether to go south or north of Block Island. Most of the fleet, including Silhouette, went to the south. That proved to be the right choice, as the boat

passed the island and the wind increased to 15 knots from the south.

By Saturday morning, the

wind died and the fleet was enveloped in heavy fog. Any tranquility was interrupted late in the afternoon when the crew noticed a three-foot dorsal fin following the Silhouette. The fin belonged to a 15-foot great white shark that trailed them for several minutes about five feet off the boat’s stern.

The encounter ended when a crew member threw the remainder of the previous night’s chicken dinner at the fish. Instead of devouring the offering, the shark immedi-ately turned west and, as one wag said, “Headed toward the beach of Chatham for other sustenance.”

Early Sunday morning, with 15-knot winds from the SW off the coast of Truro, the crew broke out the spinnaker.

Unfortunately, the arrival of thunderstorms curtailed that plan and resulted in a return to close-hauled sailing, as the wind came out of the north-west. The boat remained that way until Monday morning when they crossed the finish line at 7 a.m.

Silhouette, designed af-ter the famous Ticonderoga, a 72-foot Herreshoff ketch, finished second in class and second overall by one hour on corrected time. Following the finish, there was a lively dis-cussion as to whether some of the boats actually rounded the Nantucket shoal buoys that were not seen or heard in the fog. There is also a question as to whether the mark located where the old Nantucket light

couple of weeks, I think the $275 still represents a bargain compared to daily rentals elsewhere, and the $40 test sail would be included in the price.

Qualified sailors then have scheduled, reserved access to the school’s fleet of Flying Scots and Marshall 15 catboats. Call at least 48 hours prior to your sailing date. The Flying Scott is a forgiving, but fast racing sloop, and the Marshall Cat (also surprisingly fast off the wind) offers a simpler, more relaxed sail. Betts explained that beginners will need a season, perhaps two, of sailing lessons before qualifying for solo renting, but many have done so. “That’s the most exiting thing,” she said.

The DBMS program has the tremendous advantage of being local, and puts you on the water with Duxbury sailors. Parking is free, And Duxbury Bay offers saltwater sailing in a protected harbor big enough to sail your heart out. Boston also offers some late season deals, including kayaking, canoeing, and sailing on the Charles River or Boston Harbor.

Ever wonder where all those little sailboats on the Charles come from? Community Sailing, Inc. of Boston runs the little marina near the Esplanade. Their season runs through Oct. 11 (closing day), and their fleet includes 66 centerboard Mercuries, 10 keel Mercuries, six Rhodes 19s, 13 Lasers, and assorted other boats and windsurfers. Experienced sailors can sign on for a 60-day pass that will carry you through to closing day. Contact them at 617-523-1038, or online at community-boating.org.

More experienced sailors may prefer the Boston Harbor Sailing Club, where the fleet includes Sonars, Solings, and larger boats such as the Pearson 26 (a cruising boat). A two-month membership is now on sale for half price, or you can buy a season membership for next year, and sail the rest of this year (until Oct. 31) for free. Call 617-720-0049 for details, or check their website at www.bostonharborsailing.com. From the Sonars on up, these boats are for serious sailors, but at under $600 for the current two-month special on the “Bronze” membership (which includes access to the Pearson 26s) it’s still a bargain.

No experience? You can still get out on the Charles this year. Charles River Canoe and Kayak is running a sale on end-of-season passes starting at $78 for an individual canoe pass (guests are free up to the boat’s safe capacity). Their season runs through the end of November, if you’re fierce and have your own wet suit or other protection, weather permitting. They have five locations, including a secret little canal right by Kendall Square. Call them at 617-965-5110, or check paddleboston.com for details. See you on the water!

used to be, 60 miles off Scon-set, exists at all.

“We were pleased with our results, because for much of the race we were close-hauled, not particularly a strong suit for Silhouette,” said Ned Law-son. “But we often exceeded the boat’s ‘polars,’ which is the maximum speed the boat should move through the wa-ter if the sails are trimmed properly.”

“We were happy to have the Lawson clan aboard,” said Caso. “Sam as navigator, Ned, the tactician and ‘professor,’ and Ted (Ned’s son). All of the

Lawson’s are excellent sailors. It was particularly fun to watch the father and son team tweak every line onboard to make the boat go faster.”

Initially, the watches were 3.5 hours for two teams of three people, as using the boat’s autopilot was prohib-ited. The watch rotation was altered later to allow for more sleep.

“What a variety of weath-er: pea soup fog, lighting, driv-ing rain, and blue sky,” said Terry Watson. “We had every kind of weather except snow. Everyone lived in their foul weather gear on this trip.”

Keith Pratt thought the wind conditions were never extreme and the compatibility of the crew was excellent. On arrival in Boothbay Harbor, with lots of rising rocks, but dropping to 30-foot depths, Pratt hopped off, and with his wife stepped on another sail-boat to travel north for another week to St. Andrews, New Brunswick.

These guys can’t seem to get enough sailing in during the summer, and they won’t have any problems next year, as Caso said that he would cer-tainly do this again.

Oberlin College in Ohio Director of Athletics Joe Kar-lgaard has appointed former DHS star Liz Longley (’03) as head coach of women’s la-crosse.

Longley comes to Oberlin from Lynchburg University Virginia where she served as an assistant coach for the last three seasons.

“I am confident Liz will lead our program in the right direction,” Karlgaard said. “She has excellent experience as both a player and coach and has won in both roles. I would also like to thank Coach Deb Ranieri for her work with the program for the last nine sea-sons.”

An IWLCA All-American and three-time All-Empire Region selection, Longley’s career as a player at Hamilton College in New York speaks volumes. She was the 2006 Liberty League Player of the

Year and left the school as the all-time leader in assists and currently ranks second with 87 career helpers. She also ranks fourth all-time in points (197) and seventh in goals scored.

As a senior tri-captain in 2007, Longley led the Conti-nentals to the Liberty League regular season and tournament titles and eventually all the way to the NCAA Division III Tournament Quarterfinals. In

that season she started 18 of 19 games and finished with 32 goals and 31 assists.

Furthermore, for her ef-forts on the field throughout her career, Longley garnered Hamilton’s Jack B. Riffle Award as the athletics depart-ment’s Most Outstanding Fe-male Senior Athlete.

“Liz’s passion for the game and excitement for working with our student-athletes came through during her interview with the department and the players,” Associate Director of Athletics and Hiring Com-mittee Chair Kiki Jacobs said. “We believe she will be a great fit here and are looking forward to having her as a member of the Oberlin community.”

Longley earned a bach-elor’s degree in psychology from Hamilton in 2007 and re-cently completed her master’s degree in psychology from Lynchburg.

Longley named lax coach at Oberlin

Thirteen 10 year olds capped off their dream season with a tough win over Quincy earlier this month to claim the South River Minor League Championship.

For the team that almost wasn’t, this was the perfect ending to a perfect season.

The team was assembled at the last minute after Duxbury Youth Baseball permitted a second team to be formed for this age group because of the high interest level and the commitment of a few parents to coach. After a month of practices in June, the team hit the playing circuit in early July and beat every one of their opponents during the regular season to claim a 10 – 0 record. The team received a bye in the first round of the playoffs and beat Plympton and Hanover to claim the South Division ti-tle. The boys played a tough Quincy team, winners of the North Division, to earn the League Championship in a 2 -1 nail biter and end the season with a perfect 13 – 0 record.

Throughout the season the team demonstrated their willing-ness to work hard, showed exceptional sportsmanship and had a lot of fun.
