In an acrimonious discus-sion, Duxbury selectmen this week argued over the pending North Hill golf course legal case.

During selectmen’s Mon-day meeting, resident Steve Peterson took advantage of the public comment time and asked Selectmen Chairman Shawn Dahlen why he wasn’t allowed to speak at two previ-

ous public meetings about the town-owned North Hill golf course and the current manag-er Johnson Golf Management Inc. of Dover.

Peterson said he had “strong concerns” that the se-lectmen were exposing Dux-bury residents to a “financial risk” when they decided to terminate the management contract with Johnson due to multiple contract violations at

With a small, mostly sup-portive group attending the Duxbury Local Historic Dis-trict Study Committee pub-lic forum Monday night, the conversation focused not on whether establishing a historic district was a good idea but on how the public could be better informed of the proposal.

The forum, held Monday, Nov. 22 at the Senior Center, drew less than a dozen people, including the seven-member study committee.

The Board of Select-men appointed members to the study committee in May 2009 with a goal of determin-ing whether citizens would be interested in having historic districts. A historic district is a separate non-zoning section of the town bylaws.

Now, in their proposal for March Town Meeting, the Local Historic District Study Committee is looking to es-tablish three historic districts: the Winsor Local Historic Dis-

historic district plan outlinedtrict, located at the intersection of Washington and Harrison Streets; the Bradford Local Historic District, located on Harrison Street along Trem-ont Street; and the First Parish Church Local Historic Dis-trict.

Committee Chairman Jim Hartford said the group’s role is to make a recommendation to Town Meeting as to what type of district the residents would like to have.

“It provides for the re-view by a local historic com-mittee of proposed changes that would permanently alter a protected structure,” Hart-ford said. “It also preserves and protects building, neigh-borhood character, vistas and other local features.” Hartford said he was unsure why a district had not already been created in Duxbury — whether there was an under-lying sentiment of opposition or it just hadn’t happened.

“Duxbury is a town that would be appropriate to begin creation of local historic dis-tricts,” he said.

At the public forum, Hart-ford gave a PowerPoint pre-sentation and explained that the Local Historic District Study Committee had met twice a month since forming and also met often in smaller working groups. They heard a presentation on historic dis-tricts made by a representative of the Massachusetts Histori-cal Commission. The com-mittee also is networking with other towns that have local historic districts.

“What we have found is that many of the districts with-in the town would lend them-selves to and benefit from the establishment of local historic districts,” Hartford said.

The forum was aimed at informing the public of the committee’s efforts and to fa-cilitate discussion so the pro-cess of developing a historic district would be transparent.

“It is not our mission to force this on anyone,” Hart-ford said.

During the study, the com-mittee decided the purpose of a historic district would be to protect permanent alteration of architectural elements of buildings that would forever change the landscape of the area. The committee was not concerned with impermanent changes, interior work of any kind, simple repairs not alter-ing a building’s appearance, repair or maintenance utilizing already approved materials and roofing, paint colors, land-scaping, pools or walkways.

“The review committee will be focused on construc-tion and alteration and not the fine line of details,” Hartford said.

Several residents who at-tended Monday’s meeting complimented the commit-tee on its approach to educat-

ing the public. However, they worried that residents might not do their homework on the issue before attending Town Meeting.

Committee members agreed to continue their ef-

forts to educate voters on the benefits and uses of a historic district in the months leading up to Town Meeting.

Residents also may learn more about the proposal at duxburylhd.org.

three vodka-drinking gentle-men (one of whom turned out to be the conductor of the Tar-distan National Symphony) in a local cafe, they bonded over love of the Fab Four.

“He knew every word to Yellow Submarine,” Eileen Donnelly said of the man.

The pair recently returned from Russia and gave a talk as part of the Duxbury Free Li-brary’s Sunday Salon series, entitled, “From Russia With Love.”

The Donnellys stayed in the same city, Kazan, in the province of Tardistan, al-though they were traveling on separate projects.

“We went on a mission to teach public health and higher education,” said Eileen.

She was working with graduate and undergraduate public health students at Ka-zan State Medical University, keeping a tight schedule.

“Had I been able to teach eight days a week, 24 hours a day that would have been my assignment,” she said. “Every-thing was needed.”

Eileen hoped to be talking about the public health issues plaguing Russia, such as a low life expectancy (it’s in the 50s for males and 70s for women), childhood obesity and wide-spread alcoholism.

However, the students and officials she worked with wanted to know about the American healthcare delivery system, Medicare and Medic-aid, how much health workers get paid and the recent insur-ance reforms under President Obama.

The students were ea-ger to learn English, and TV shows like Grey’s Anatomy and House are used as teach-ing tools.

Brian Donnelly was at Ka-zan Humanitarian University sharing his knowledge about the junior and community college systems in America, which Russian officials are trying to emulate. He lectured more in seminars rather than classrooms.

“What we found was ... the expectation is for long work hours, heavy work load and low compensation,” he said of higher education jobs.

Both Brian and Eileen said they struggled with the Rus-sian language –– Brian even joked that all he knew how to do was ask for directions to Red Square.

“People not only under-stood me but started answering me, and I didn’t know what to say,” he said.

Eileen said the language barrier was difficult, as she was expecting more people to speak English.

“We didn’t feel we spoke it well enough to get into the relationships as well as we might,” she said. “It was very challenging.”

The pair did have inter-

preters, however, and both said English is being taught in schools. Brian also said the “MTV culture” is permeating the urban areas of Russia, par-ticularly Moscow.

“If we’re thinking it’s go-ing to take a slow boat to make some of those relationships, we’re mistaken,” he said.

The couple had ideas in their head about what life in Russia was like, even before they stepped off the plane. Bri-an said he remembered being huddled into a middle school gym when the Sputnik satellite was launched at the beginning of the cold war, when Russia was associated with fear and the threat of nuclear war.

The Russia the Donnellys spent four months in was a very different place, although they both said people there are guarded –– perhaps a remnant of Cold War paranoia.

“The Russian demeanor is not one where at the outset you’re getting a lot of smiles,” Brian said.

The couple did not get to do much traveling outside of Kazan, although they did visit Moscow and St. Petersburg. When they did leave, they had to alert their liaison.

“Tons of paperwork need-ed to be filled out,” Eileen said. “It was a wonderful experience but it was very restricted.”

The Club was honored to hear from Dr. Tantillo who told us that $126,000,000, with a reimbursement from the state of $45,000,000, might be the cost of a new

high school. Renovating schools, in lieu of a new school, would cost $45,000,000 with no reimbursement from the state. Exist-ing buildings could be used for classes while the new school is being built. If the town goes the renovation route, it would be necessary to rent temporary classrooms. The new school would be built behind the present middle school and thus would not affect Train Field.

Dr. Tantillo spoke about technology and its effect on educa-tion and the necessity of teachers having to study to keep up with the students who were born in the technological era. Dr. Tantillo addressed the No Student Left Behind costs as 20-25 percent of the budget for special education.

The Club was grateful to receive a check for $1,000 from former Rotarian Tony Matera who represents a trust that makes such charitable donations.

Leo Joseph Luckey, 89 of Duxbury, died on Nov. 22 after a brief ill-ness. Born and educated in Gary, Ind., the son of Joseph and Mary Luckey, he enlisted in the U.S. Coast Guard as a radio-man in 1942 during World War II and served on Eu-ropean and the Pacific

fronts on the patrol frigate USS Key West and the attack transport USS Navarro. After the War he married the late Rita Matzdorf, also from Gary, Ind., and received an associate degree in business administration from Gary College and then worked at the Weber Aircraft Company in Burbank, Cal. planning the design of B-52 ejection seats.

Following the Korean conflict, Mr. Luckey served on the Coast Guard Cut-ters Taney and Matagorda in the Pacific and the Duane and Yakatat in the Atlantic out of Boston and New Bedford. Life in the Coast Guard with their four children required frequent moves that included Hawaii, Virginia and California until they finally settled in Duxbury in 1962 when he was assigned to a Coast Guard communication

station in Marshfield. Mrs. Luckey later joined the staff of the Duxbury Clipper where she worked for many years. The couple were active members of the Duxbury American Legion par-ticularly in the Legion’s theatrical productions that were such a big hit in the 1960s.

ANTIQUES AUCTION Sat., Dec. 4, 2010 at 11 am

Joan Katherine Hoover

I am deeply saddened to announce the death of my best friend, lover, and wife of 58 wonderful years, Joan

Katherine Hoover, on Wednesday evening November 17th 2010, after a relatively short illness. Her two sons,

Jack junior and Reid Hoover, were at her side.

I know she is in a much better place than this crusty old world and I should be happy for her, but it is hard not to miss her as intensely as I do. She was - still is - a warm

friend to just about every one she met. I never heard her say a mean word about anyone.

A memorial service for family and friends will be held in

her honor at 11 am Saturday December 18th in the Clifford Hall at the Duxbury Bay Maritime School, 457 Washington Street, Snug Harbor in Duxbury.

If you can, please rsvp preferably to Mrs. Kelli Hoover at [email protected] or telephone me at 781.934.6820.

Any contributions you might wish to donate would be

welcomed at the Duxbury Bay Maritime School, Crossroads for Kids, or any needy function you would like.

the end of October.At the Oct. 18 selectmen’s

meeting, Dahlen limited the discussion on the contract vio-lations to town officials and the attorneys representing the town and Johnson. He did not allow any public comment.

Peterson said he was told he wasn’t allowed to speak because the issue was in litiga-tion but that he felt he should have been heard.

“If I had been listened to back then, I could have pre-vented a higher liability,” he said.

Peterson said that select-men told him they would be talking about the case in ex-ecutive session but he said he learned later it had not been discussed.

Peterson began to talk about the most recent rul-ing on the case, which then sparked the argument among selectmen. Dahlen and Select-man Betsy Sullivan said they would not discuss it because it would be detrimental to the town’s legal case, but Select-man Christopher Donato felt Peterson should be allowed to talk and he began to argue that the town was wrong to award

the North Hill contract to Calm Golf.

Doug Johnson, who has managed the course for the past 15 years, sued the town in 2008 after losing the manage-ment contract to Calm Golf of Rockland. Johnson’s lawsuit claims that Calm Golf is finan-cially unqualified and that the town conspired against him. Johnson was successful in seeking an injunction against the town in Middlesex County court, which has allowed him to remain in control of North

Hill under the terms of his last contract, which ended in De-cember 2008.

Despite the other select-men’s objections, Donato be-gan to read from a Nov. 24 memo from the Middlesex Superior Court in which Judge H. J. Smith denied the town’s motion for summary judgment and granted a preliminary in-junction that prohibits Dux-bury official from executing

a contract for operating North Hill until Johnson’s lawsuit is concluded or until a the court puts forth another decision.

As Donato started to read the judge’s decision, both Sul-livan and Dahlen told him to stop. Sullivan told Dahlen to stop the meeting and was poised to leave the meeting herself. Donato kept reading from the memo, saying it was a public document and calling it “significant.”

Sullivan said Donato was acting like he was representing

Johnson Golf and not the best interests of the town.

“This is open session. Any time that we engage in a con-versation on things that are being taken care of in court, we damage our position,” said Sullivan. “We are not serving the town to engage in this type of showmanship.”

Donato denied he was not serving the town, saying it was the selectmen’s job to shed light on this issue, especially because of the most recent court decision.

Dahlen and Sullivan then argued with Donato, telling him it was inappropriate to discuss the case. Dahlen fi-nally ended the discussion and ended the meeting.

always the perfect gift

Even in a tough economic environment, with a little foresight and creativity, there are many ways you can support worth-while endeavors and gain satisfaction knowing you’ll be able

to contribute for the long term.

Regardless of your income level, you can continue to support your favorite phil-anthropic organizations by donating through life insurance. When you name your chosen charity as the beneficiary of your policy,1 you are contributing to a worthy cause and can benefit from po-tential tax deductions.

There are several methods of gifting life insurance as a charitable donation:

This ben-efits the charity and gives the donor a bonus in the form of income tax benefits. Premiums on such a policy are deduct-ible to taxpayers who itemize their deductions. Consult a tax professional for details.

As policy owner, you retain the right to make changes to the policy including changing the beneficiary. While premium payments are not tax deduct-ible, upon the donor’s death, the estate receives a charitable estate tax deduction for the proceeds, as allowed by law.

If you own a policy with cover-age that is no longer needed, you may consider donating it to a charity. The donor could irrevocably assign or transfer the policy to a charity as owner and beneficiary. This gift is gener-ally not subject to gift tax, and, in most cases, may be eligible for a charitable income tax deduction.

This is a complex planning option for donors with unproductive appreciated assets, such as real estate. This transaction can be structured to benefit the donor, heirs and charity. Consult an attorney or accountant for advice.

schools to meet with designersThe School Building Committee plans to meet with four

designers who have designed model schools in Massachusetts in order to see if any of their plans would fit Duxbury’s needs for a new middle and high school.

The designers will be notified by mid-December of the town’s interest and then they would visit the site and offer pro-posals showing how their models could be adapted to fit the requirements of the 1,735 high and middle school students, said Elizabeth Lewis, chairwoman of the committee.

If the process goes well and the committee likes any of the designs, Lewis said that her committee would be ready to ask for design funds by March 2011 Town Meeting and may want to call a special town meeting in the fall for construction funds.

If the committee is unhappy with the model designs, they can proceed the traditional way and select their own archi-tect.

The committee is considering building a co-located, or combined school, on the site of the current middle school that will house both the middle and high school. The Massachu-setts School Building Authority believes a model school is the most cost-effective alternative for Duxbury, said Lewis, and if the town uses a model school design, it will receive a higher reimbursement from the state.

HOME MADE JAMS,JELLIES & RELISHES

By SuSanna Sheehan, Clipper Staff [email protected]

Duxbury officials last week signed a ten-year contract with Comcast, the cable television provider, and the new contract means new life for the town’s three local cable channels: the educational, government and public access channels.

Duxbury has been with-out a formal cable television contract since 2004, when its agreement with Adelphia ex-pired. In June, town officials approved a 10-year contract with Verizon to provide FiOS cable television.

“It seems like we have been discussing Comcast ne-gotiations for years –– and we have,” said Town Manager Richard MacDonald.

The Duxbury Cable Advi-sory Committee and consult-ing attorney William Hewig of Kopelman and Paige of Bos-ton have negotiated terms with both Comcast and Verizon. These terms will permit pro-grams to be broadcast from the current locations at the high school, Alden Elementary and Town Hall and also from the Performing Arts Center, the Senior Center, the library and the fire station. The companies have 180 days in which to cre-ate a shared network for these

locations. Programs produced at these buildings will be broadcast on the government and educational channels.

Customers of both compa-nies will receive all three local channels once they are run-ning. Currently, Verizon FIOS customers do not get the local programming channels as there is no connection to the town hall or school department.

For public access, resi-dents will receive program-ming from the Plymouth Area Community access television station, or PACTV. PACTV currently provides public ac-cess programming for Plym-outh and Kingston and sup-ports government programs for both towns as well as the educational channel for Kings-ton. It produces original shows about cooking, gardening, sports, and religion, to name a few offerings.

PACTV also offers classes in television programming in-cluding videography, audio, lighting, and editing.

Duxbury residents will be able to use PACTV’s studios to produce their own shows.

In the past, Duxbury’s lo-cal channel aired many locally produced TV shows including a cooking program with the late local chef David Wells

and a talk show hosted by John Britton. However, there has been no local programming since the last cable contract expired, even though there is a television studio and equip-ment in the high school.

New equipment will be provided for the government and educational programs. The studio at the high school will be returned to the schools, which will also keep the 10-year old equipment, said Hewig.

To pay to operate for these local channels, Comcast has committed to offering annual payments equal to five percent of its gross annual revenues payable quarterly. It will also pay $132,000 to get the local channels started. This money will be recovered from the five percent of revenues it owes to the town.

Comcast’s contract offers the town more revenues than Verizon’s contract does, but because of the way both con-tracts are written, each com-pany must pay the same in revenues for the local access television. So Verizon’s pay-ments will rise from 3.3 per-cent to five percent of its gross annual revenues, said Hewig.

Duxbury Finance Direc-tor John Madden said the town could accept and spend this money without a Town Meet-ing vote as it is considered special revenue.

Selectmen praised Hewig and the Cable TV Committee for their hard work over many years.

“You and the committee have done a very, very thor-ough job,” said Selectmen Chairman Shawn Dahlen. “It was a Herculean effort.”

Comcast deal reached

Snug Harbor holiday concert The holiday concert by members of the Snug Harbor Com-

munity Chorus is scheduled for Saturday, Dec. 4, at 7:30 p.m. The program features traditional carols as well as other works representative of the various styles and moods of the season. And, of course, there is the much anticipated audience sing-along.

Both rehearsals and the holiday and spring concerts are held at the Duxbury Performing Arts Center. They are under the direction of artistic director Roy Kelley.

Recently, the group was chosen to perform for theater-goers waiting to attend Oprah Winfrey’s well-known musical, “The Color Purple,” then on national tour. Other performanc-es have included the Irish Fiddler Eileen Ivers and Immigrant Soul Band and a Salute to the Armed Forces with the Plym-outh Philharmonic Orchestra and the Snugtones.

Ticket prices are $20 for adults (correction from last week’s Clipper), $12 for students and seniors and $10 for groups of ten, and include the show reception. Advance purchases are recommended. They are available at The Studio and Westwind Books and at the door the night of the concert. For more infor-mation, snugharborcc.org.

storyplay for adults and children

An interactive storytime offering artistic play surround-ing a favorite children’s book will be offered by staff from the South Shore Conservatory on Tuesday, Dec. 7, 10:30-11 a.m. in the Resource Room of the Duxbury Free Library. Children ages 3 to 5 accom-panied by an adult may reg-ister for the event which will include ideas for creative play at home plus time for parents/caregivers to share and learn. To register online: www.dux-buryfreelibrary.org, by phone at 781-934-2721 x115 or in person at the children’s refer-ence desk.

Candlelight Taizé Services

Pilgrim Church will be holding candlelight evening prayer services in the tradition of the Taizé community dur-ing Advent. Services, which consist mainly of meditative singing and a stretch of prayer-ful silence, will be held from 7-7:30 p.m. on Wednesdays, Dec. 1, 8 and 15.

The Taizé service takes its name from the tiny village of Taizé in Burgundy, France, home to an extraordinary community of faith. Roger Schultz, a young seminary stu-dent, founded the community in a desire to offer hospitality, refuge and reconciliation in re-sponse to the hostilities of the Second World War.

Rapping about food wrapping

By Dick RothschilD, clippeR columnist

As I wrote in last month’s column, what we eat affects our health and the health of the earth more than the kind of cars we drive or how they are fueled. How

the food we buy is packaged is also a big deal, as far as living sustainably is concerned.

At this point, Writing 101 would dictate that I come up with a galvanizing statistic underscoring the destructive effect of excessive food packaging, one which would knock your socks off and have you contritely walking on nails until your next opportunity to redeem yourself. Unfortunately, I haven’t come across anything that powerful. So, let’s leave it that unnecessary food packaging is an important contributor to energy waste, greater oil dependency and damaging climate change.

Googling “Sustainable Packaging” brought up the Wikipedia definition of Sustainable Packaging –– “the development and use of packaging which results in improved sustainability.” Certainly I could get more useful information than that locally. For a close-up look at the state of sustainable food packaging I visited a local supermarket and can now report that as of November, 2010, it is a mixed bag.

As I entered the supermarket the first thing to come into view was a row of containers in which to deposit plastic bags for recycling-a positive sign. The good feeling it engendered was soon eclipsed, however, by a tower of shrink-wrapped plastic bottles of Poland Spring Water. To avoid further distraction I headed for the condiment aisle.

Most mustard, mayonnaise, ketchup, and sauces are packaged only in the plastic bottles from which they can be dispensed, but a few hold-outs remain, such as Lee & Perrins Worcestershire Sauce. They still wrap their bottles in decorative paper tied on with golden ribbons.

I was relieved to find that most pretzels and chips are packaged in single bags. But some brands are still over-packaged. Snyder’s of Hanover Hard Pretzels, for instance, were packed in waxed boxes and Pringles were in even more wasteful metal-bottomed, plastic-topped cardboard tubes.

In the soup section I discovered that you have to pay environmentally and economically for water content. Campbell’s, for example, offers a wide variety of soups in 8 to10 ounce cans (to which you add a can of milk or water before heating and serving). But Campbell’s as well as other brands such as Progresso offer essentially the same products with the water included in 18.6 ounce cans. These use at least twice as much metal, weigh about twice as much and cost more. The 18.6 oz. can of Campbell’s Italian Style Vegetable Soup was $2 a can. The 8.6 oz. can (with water added at home) which provided the same number of portions cut the cost to $1.70, a 15 percent saving. Though the smaller can with less water is the obvious choice for the environment and your pocketbook, there is an even better alternative. Alessi and a few other soup makers offer traditional soups such as split pea, white bean and lentil, dry, in small bags.

A $2.75 bag with tap water added, produces four servings at a cost of less than 69 cents each, a saving of as much as 30 percent –– and the can is eliminated in the bargain. Of course there are other considerations – taste, convenience and storage.

As I continued down the aisles a consistent pattern emerged. Foods packaged in bags instead of cans, tubes or boxes, consistently used less and lower energy consuming packing materials and saved a lot of money. Five ounces of Bumble Bee Tuna in water ($1.59 in a plastic bag) cost $2.15 in a can. Uncle Ben’s Rice with a “Boil In Bag” inside the box was $2.83 /lb. In a larger box but without the “Boil In Bag” it was $1.76/lb. And, here are eye openers. Packed in a small bag instead of a box the price came down to $1.50/lb. And, in a larger bag the price came down to $1.05/lb. For essentially the same product in the same store you could pay as much as $2.83 a pound or as little as $1.05 a pound depending entirely on the packaging.

Time is money, and these examples suggest that taking an extra minute per item to compare per pound prices for packaging options will pay off handsomely, at a rate of $40-50 per hour. That may not be aerospace engineering pay, you’ve got to admit the work it is not exactly rocket science either.

How can a quality life be possible when life itself is threatened before birth. The lives of mothers and newborns are often at risk in Uganda due to the combination of distance and poverty, which makes ac-cess to health care impossible for many in Ugandan rural vil-lages.

“You can’t expect a wom-an in labor in the middle of the night to walk five hours,” states Maureen Nakalinzi, out-reach worker for the Uganda Rural Fund.

Dan Hall, Rebecca Rich-ards, Kelsey Jordan and Chris Blake, all Duxbury residents, volunteer in Uganda with the Uganda Rural Fund, a grass-roots organization whose mis-sion is to support and improve life for AIDS orphans, mothers and children of remote villages in Southeastern Uganda.

“There are seventeen vil-lages in the URF area, many of which are up to seven hours of walking from the nearest health care, and an impossible 30 miles from the hospital in Masaka,” said Hall. “In an area where even a bicycle is a luxury only for the “well-off,” women and their babies are put at direct risk by distance. The inability to be diagnosed or treated for birth complica-tions, HIV, malaria, syphillis, TB, cancer, creates a level of anguish and suffering, which is heartbreaking to see.”

One mother told Blake recently, “I wanted to get to the clinic to have my baby because it was too difficult at home. But I could not get any transport and by the time I got to the clinic my baby had died inside of me.”

“It’s outrageous,” said Blake. “Two hundred out of a thousand babies do not live past the period from birth to five years old; that’s 20 per-cent.

“Women give up on care for HIV, STD’s, cervical and breast cancer … very often be-cause it is just too difficult to travel the required distances on foot. Women with HIV must have weekly shots of antire-tral virus medication … that’s a weekly trip of hours which is either not possible or unaf-fordable in a country where income is around a dollar a week. The rate of HIV is once again increasing in Uganda.”

Jordan and Richards worked extensively with wom-en in rural villages of URF.

“Seven out of ten babies are born with syphilis or AIDS in this area,” said Jordan. “This means a risk of physical deformity, stunting, wasting, and developmental delay to those children. And it’s treat-able, preventable … in many cases.”

“If there’s a way to get pro-

spective mothers to medical care, it’s such a simple thing.” said Richards.

So the URF Duxbury vol-unteers have set out to raise $20,000 to fund the purchase of a used taxi from Masaka, to be used as a health van for transporting mothers and chil-dren to health care. It will be kept at Hope Academy (URF’s secondary school in Kyetume, completed in 2008) and driven by school staff seeking out and providing transportation to high risk mothers and chil-dren.

“We’re going to use it also as a Health Outreach vehicle taking needed health informa-tion and equipment to villages. Examples are mosquito nets to prevent malaria and technol-ogy to treat ground water for bacteria which causes diar-rhea, which takes the lives of more than 300 children each day in Uganda, due to un-healthy water,” said Hall.

The volunteers said early testing for AIDS and treatment for STD’s as well as early identification of problematic births will save hundreds of lives in the first year the van will be operating in the Kye-tume area.

The Duxbury URF volun-teers have been working for URF for over three years. Part of their personal commitments has been to document needs in Uganda and communicate them to Duxbury residents in hopes of being able to fund so-lutions for critical humanitar-ian problems.

“Duxbury citizens, through their giving, have built a dorm at URF’s Nazareth Orphanage, funded education of orphans, provided thousands of mos-quito nets, blankets for mud-slide victims, and now, we’re sure, will see to it that simple lack of transportation to health care will take far fewer lives in the URF area,” says Jordan.

“Duxbury is truly miracu-

lous with the way people re-spond to human need, when you let them see it directly,” said Blake. The Womens Health Van movie that Blake made in his visit to Uganda last month has already yielded some good progress towards being able to purchase the van.

“All we really need,” says Blake, “is the chance to talk with folks and let them see the situation first hand. That will get the job done because the problem is so clear and the so-lution so simple and concrete. It’s the kind of need that Dux-bury people seem to respond to instinctively.”

The volunteers are espe-cially interested in addressing women’s groups. There is an ongoing tradition of polygamy in rural Uganda and the link between that practice and the crisis in women’s health care is very clear and would be of interest to all those interest-ed in women’s health issues throughout the World.

There is a short DVD which tells the story clearly. Any who would like to see this documentary can simply email Hall at [email protected], or follow the link from the Duxbury Clipper page under URF and a Womens Health Van. Searching You Tube for “URF and a Womens Health Van” will take one to the mov-ie as well.

“We hope to have the van paid for and in place at Hope Academy by Christmas,” says Hall. “We’re asking for any help that people can give to this cause. It’s a simple but very important solution. Please give today. A passenger van on the road will improve the lives of so many families in Ugan-da, starting tomorrow.”

Those interested in con-tributing to this project can mail checks to the Uganda Ru-ral Fund Health Van, Box 388, West Springfield, MA., 01090.

Bongi’s Turkey Roost

Seventh grader Anna Chinetti, the overall winner of the Minute it to Win it program, is pictured with Jim Fagan, the emcee for the evening.

On Nov. 24, Alden’s third graders made Stone Soup. This

annual Thanksgiving project is organized by third grade teacher, Dr. Carl Swanson. Each child brings to school a carrot, potato, or onion as Dr. Swanson, dressed as Governor William Bradford, reads the story of “Stone Soup.”

This wonderful fable ex-plores the dangers of selfish-ness and the magic of sharing. As the story is read aloud, the students bring their food to the big soup pots manned by parent volunteers who chop, dice, and stir the burgeoning pots. When the story is done, the villagers have learned all about sharing and the students’ minds and bodies have been fed.

Students from Dr. Swanson’s class enjoy eating the soup.

It may not have the local interest that taking on Marsh-field would have, but playing Atlantic Coast League tri-champs, Dennis-Yarmouth, was the first step for the Drag-ons as they went for their sec-ond Super Bowl crown in the last three years.

The semifinal game was played on Tuesday night in Weymouth. (Check out the Clipper Web site for the game results.) A win over the Dol-phins pitted Duxbury against the winner of North Andover/Concord-Carlisle in a game to be played Saturday at Gillette Stadium, tentatively scheduled for 1:30 p.m.

While the outcome of the Turkey Day game had no bearing on the Dragons’ tour-nament appearance, the vic-tory did even their series with Marshfield at 12-12-2.

With its first-half offense sputtering like the Patriots, Duxbury found themselves trailing at halftime, 10-7, when sophomore Brendan Doherty booted a 25-yard field goal as time expired.

While both teams could do nothing on their first offensive series, big defensive plays by Duxbury’s Dennis Maguire on fourth down and an intercep-tion by Marshfield’s Jonathan Fraser were the major reasons neither team could get un-tracked in the first quarter.

While the Duxbury offense is noted for its big-strike capa-bilities, it was the Ram offense that provided the first big of-fensive play of the morning, as junior Bryan Mey turned the corner on a sweep down the right side and rambled 40 yards for a 7-0 lead after Doherty’s PAT went over the crossbar.

Unaccustomed to trailing, the Dragons came right back on a Kane Haffey-led drive with passes to Andrew Buron and Don Webber that put the ball deep into Marshfield territory.

With the ball at the 6-yard line, Haffey called his own number and tied the score at 7-7 with 4:11 left in the half.

Whatever was said in the locker room at halftime seemed to register with the Dragons, as Duxbury took the kickoff and moved all the way down to the one-yard line where Henry Buonagurio took a shot that separated him from the ball.

“We didn’t change up any-thing at halftime,” said Dux-bury Coach Dave Maimaron. “We just told the kids that we have to do what we do and stick with the game plan.”

The Duxbury defense held once again, getting the ball back at its own 37-yard line with 2:20 to go in the third quarter.

WINTER SPECIAL

We Accept Credit Cards

Duxbury’s Grace Houghton captivated the house dancing the role of Clara in

José Mateo’s “The Nutcracker” at the Performing Arts Center Friday, the day after Thanksgiving. I’ve seen quite a few Claras, and Grace was exceptional. She danced with fluid confidence and gentle but riveting personal connection with her fellow dancers, much of it while dancing en pointe. No small task for a middle school-

aged dancer, Grace clearly engaged with her naughty little brother, Fritz, the magical Dr. Drosselmeyer (José), and the handsome Prince that she frees from an evil spell (Kehlet Schou), three very different characters. She even

connected with the wild and rowdy Mice that threatened to take over her dream.

The cast was filled with Duxbury dancers, from Mice to Party Children, Polichinelles, Cherubs and Angels, and valiant Soldiers: too many for me to list. José’s production stands out for its open auditions to supplement the young dancers from his own school, including his school at the South Shore Conservatory here in Duxbury (781-934-2731 x 11), which is accepting enrollments for its spring semester.

Children's portraits make great holiday gifts!


The cast includes a boatload of boys. Male dancers were always welcome, of course, and I’ve seen a growing number over the years take up José’s invitation to dance. This year’s cast boasts sixteen or more, not counting the adult dancers, an unofficial record. I think it made the party scene more relaxed and convincing than ever.

Indeed, this year’s party scene stood out. José’s choreography includes collective moments of sudden stillness, reanimation, and comical swoons in reponse to Drosselmeyer’s commanding signals. These moves are hard enough for adult dancers to execute together, but Friday night’s children performed them with perfect precision and comfort.

As usual, I have my favorite moments watching José’s adult dancers. Jenna-Marie Nagel’s Columbine was captivating and saucy. Look again: she also danced as a Snowflake, Chocolate, and a Yellow Flower. Now you know why so few Flowers come out for their curtain call – they make their “reverence” to the audience in their more featured role, or with their pas de deux partners. José’s adult dancers all do double and triple duty. Jenna-Marie took her bows with her Spanish dance partner, Reco Garrett.

Gloria Benedikt and August Lincoln Pozgay made the sensual Arabian dance into a showpiece of romantic tension and grace. Gloria added sizzling touches to her demeanor that proved that her dance is far more than her footwork, which was splendid. Dance comes from a fire within the dancer. Gloria and August Lincoln were smoking.

Madeleine Bonn’s Sugar Plum Fairy was musical and centered as always. This year she seemed to dance like air, and I love to watch her flow and anticipation as she passes through the music, or the music passes through her. Madeleine also opens the show as one of the Dream Fairies.

I met a wild and rowdy Mouse during the intermission. Lily Reardon danced the role of the First Mouse, the one who weaves her way through departing adult dancers and grabs Clara’s treasured Nutcracker – a tricky and challenging job. Except for the POWs at the beginning of Act II, most Mice are free to relax and see the rest of the show after their performance. I was introduced to the dancer by her parents, grandparents, and her little sister Gabriella, who was seeing her first-ever Nutcracker. As the dancer’s little sister, Gabriella graciously deferred to others in this, her debut newspaper interview, but there was no mistaking her sense of wonder at seeing her sister, the other dancers, and the whole magical show. She beamed in her dazzling tiara. There was no doubt that the magic had struck. Gabriella’s tiara said it all. Dance and the Nutcracker’s Holiday magic never grow old. They grow young.

Haffey went to work again, engineering a 12-play/63-yard drive that was highlighted by a 9-yard pass to Webber and a 13-yard in-side reverse to Matt Hallisey, and resulting in a two-yard TD run by Buonagurio for a 13-10 lead. Maimaron called for a fake on the extra point attempt and the direct snap went to Tucker Hannon, who found Reilly Naton in the left flat for the two-point conver-sion.

It was three and out for the Rams on their next pos-session, as they punted the ball away with 4:37 left in the game with the ball on the Marshfield 40-yard line.

On the first play from scrimmage, Haffey broke

through several tacklers on the left side and took off down the sideline for 52 yards before being brought down at the eight-yard line.

The drive stalled as Brendan Connolly came on for a field goal attempt from 25 yards out, only to see it blocked by the Rams with 3:32 remaining.

The dink-and-dunk of-fense that Coach Lou Silva said was his team’s bread and butter took hold, as QBs Fraser and Mark Pomella methodically marched the Rams down the field and into Duxbury territory at the 40-yard line with just over a minute left in the game.

At this point, Denis Maguire made a huge sack of Fraser, causing him to fum-

ble. But the officials ruled he was down and the Rams kept possession. The clock now became the Rams biggest enemy, as they could not get inside the Duxbury 29-yard line as time expired.
