A large crowd turned out for Duxbury’s Memorial Day services on Monday morning.

Despite a smoky haze in the air –– a result of brush fires in distant Quebec –– De-pot Street was packed with on-lookers waving American flags as members of the American Legion post, town officials, Boy Scout and Girl Scouts and the Duxbury High School band marched by.

The highlight of the day

was the official rededication of the World War I Monument. The monument, shattered in an accident decades ago and all but forgotten in the woods behind Mayflower Cemetery, was recently restored. Joe Shea, who discovered the pieces of the monument, led a committee of dedicated resi-dents in the restoration efforts. After voters at the 2009 Town Meeting approved the use of Community Preservation Act funds, the committee raised

Fitting tribute


The war of words between the Zoning Board of Appeals and the developers for the Merry Village 40B project is escalating.

John McCluskey, an at-torney working with the proj-ect, sent an e-mail to Zon-ing Board Chairman Dennis Murphy, carbon copied to the Board of Selectmen, ask-ing that Murphy recuse him-self from the hearing process, based on public comments Murphy has made about 40B affordable housing projects in general. McCluskey claimed

in his e-mail, read by Murphy at Thursday night’s Zoning Board meeting, that the com-ments showed that Murphy was biased against such proj-ects and therefore should step down.

Murphy said he consulted with the state ethics commis-sion and was told there was no reason he couldn’t continue as a voting member of the board.

“I was advised I had no basis for recusal,” Murphy said. He said he had made a full disclosure of his role in the project to the Board of Selectmen as the appointing

The 1870’s journalist and Harvard professor Henry Adams once

said: “A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his in-fluence stops.” For Sonia Kelly,

teacher, mother, and the “spark-plug” of the Blue River Montes-sori School in Duxbury, educa-

Duxbury was recognized by the nonprofit Arbor Day Foundation as a Tree City USA community for its com-mitment to urban forestry. It is the nineteenth year Duxbury has earned this national desig-nation.

The Tree City USA pro-gram is sponsored by the Arbor Day Foundation in co-operation with the National Association of State Foresters and the USDA Forest Service.

Duxbury has met the four standards to become a Tree City USA community. Tree City USA communities must have a tree board or depart-ment, a tree-care ordinance, a comprehensive community forestry program, and an Ar-bor Day observance and proc-lamation.

“We commend Duxbury’s elected officials, volunteers and its citizens for providing vital care for its urban forest,” said John Rosenow, chief exec-utive and founder of the Arbor Day Foundation. “Trees pro-vide numerous environmental, economical and health benefits to millions of people each day,

and we applaud communities that make planting and caring for trees a top priority.”

Communities that earn Tree City USA recognition not only have taken the time to meet the four standards, they know that trees:

• Promote healthier com-munities by filtering the air we breathe by removing dust and other particles.

• Moderate climate, con-

serve water and provide vital habitat for wildlife.

• Reduce the heat island effect in urban areas caused by pavement and buildings.

• Increase property values and reduce energy use and add beauty to our homes and neighborhoods.

More information about Tree City USA can be found at arborday.org/TreeCityUSA.

Girl Scout newsTroop registrations: Completed registration packets need

to be returned to Noreen on June 2, from 7-9 p.m. at the Scout House. Leaders and other registered adults will be able to com-plete the Cori forms that night as well. You will need to bring your Mass. driver’s license and a copy of the license. If you have not yet recieved your packet, please call Noreen or stop by that night to pick it up.

Registration: Any girl who will be entering kindergarten in the fall though grade 12, who is not currently enrolled in the Duxbury Girl Scout program, is invited to come to the Girl Scout House on Saturday, June 5 between 9:30-11:30 a.m. to register or to simply find out about our Scouting program. Girl Scouting allows girls to develop leadership qualities, participate in multiple community service projects and to explore new ho-rizons in a noncompetitive environment.

Sixth graders wanted: A new sixth grade troop is being formed and is looking for some enthusiastic sixth graders who want to have fun and help others while participating in a great organization and a noncompetitive environment. Come and find out what Cadette Scouting is all about on Saturday, June 5 at the Scout House.

Bridging: Our annual bridging ceremony will take place at the Duxbury Middle School auditorium this Sunday, June 6, from 7-8 p.m. This event celebrates the advancement of the girls from one level of Girl Scouting to the next. All of our Scouts are encouraged to attend this important event. Refreshments will follow the ceremony.

Cookie prizes: We still have several troops who have not picked up the cookie sale prizes for their girls. You can get them on Wednesday evening or Saturday morning at the registration events.

Beach cookout: Daisy through Cadette Gril Scouts gath-ered on Duxbury Beach last Saturday evening for their tradi-tional cookout. Hot dogs cooked on a stick never tasted so good. Cadettes from Troop 80331 organized sack races, and played multiple games with our parachute, which was the hit of the night. Eventually all good things must come to an end, and so the girls gathered for a short sing-a-long and then made their Friendship Circle. Great weather contributed to the success of this fun-filled event.

Serena Ferrias enjoys a s’more containing a perfectly toasted marshmallow.

Daisy Scout Gabriella Bruno gets a helping hand with cooking her hot dog from Cadette Maddie Buchanan at the Girl Scout Beach Cookout.

Inside the parachute, Cadette Colleen Fallon invites all the girls with May birthdays to join her in the center.

Boom-chicka-boom is a favorite

song at all sing-a-longs. Here

the girls sing it “quiet style.”

A stiff breeze helped to lift the parachute high as the girls prepare to bring it down and duck inside.

give my students because if they wonder then they will al-ways look for answers,” said Kelly.

In 2006, Kelly, with the help of her husband Geoff, de-signed and built a barn-styled schoolhouse at 484 Temple Street for her “academic-based” preschool. The school, named after Duxbury’s historic Blue Fish River, is nestled on an acre and half of fields and

wood-l a n d s that in-cludes s e v e n t r a i l s . It’s an i d e a l s p o t

for Kelly to ignite the minds of her pupils with nature walks and science experiments. “We don’t have a playground pur-posely; we want them to ex-plore the natural environment,” said Kelly. “The students have never asked ‘where’s the play-ground?’” she added, “and the parents often enjoy taking their children through the trails after classes.”

Kelly’s impressive edu-cational background includes a Masters in Education from Loyola College in Maryland and an Association Montessori Internationale degree from Washington Montessori Insti-tute. AMI is a rigorous pro-gram—with 8 to 10 hours of daily study—that is founded on the pre-World War II teach-ings of Italian physician and educator Maria Montessori who emphasized the child’s ability to self-direct their own learning with the teacher as guide. Kelly, however, is quick to note that her pro-gram incorporates the Reggio Emilia Approach. This educa-tional philosophy, developed by Loris Malaguzzi in Italy af-ter World War II, emphasizes “collaboration with peers.” Learning is done through ex-ploration that is mostly based on the interests of the children. “I mix the two educational philosophies in my preschool curriculum,” said Kelly who is currently attending graduate studies at Leslie University on the Reggio method.

“I find that my students want to be imaginative, they want to explore and be free thinkers. By including Reggio Emilia, I am incorporating the best of both philosophies—keeping it Montessori but also bringing in materials that are more open-ended and allow the kids to explore,” she said. Kelly’s previous work experi-ence also includes 10 years of teaching preschoolers through grade three in the public school systems of Maryland and Virginia. She was first at-tracted to teaching young chil-dren because the brain is still developing until the age of six. “That is what Maria Montes-sori refers to as ‘the absorbent

mind,’ soaking up anything and everything that comes its way,” she said.

Although teaching has al-ways been Kelly’s passion, she felt a burning desire to be-come a business owner. “I love the math behind it,” she said. She maintains the best of both worlds by operating the school and teaching along side her two teachers. Both staff members hold bachelor’s degrees, and one has her master’s in teach-ing like Kelly. “People assume that all preschool teachers have degrees, but not all do,” she said. A part-time Spanish teacher also comes in every Wednesday for those students who opt-in to the foreign lan-guage program.

The staff’s teaching quali-fications, coupled with a class size of about 10 students, is what Kelly believes attracts parents to the school. “I’ve in-tentionally stayed small, and while it may not be the most profitable means to run my business, it allows me to be both lead teacher and business owner, she said.”

Now starting its fifth year, Blue River Montessori is en-joying its “third generation” of siblings from the same fami-lies, said Kelly, who has devel-oped a “close knit bond” with many of them. “In fact, some of my closest friends in Dux-bury started as parents of kids in my school,” she said.

Whether she is teaching her preschoolers about how the skull is a fixed joint in the

human body or discussing the life cycle of a bug from her meadow, Kelly says she is al-ways focused on making the educational experience fun. Ask her what she loves most about operating the school and she will tell you: “the bond I form with the kids and the par-ents, and seeing in both of their eyes when they are wowed by something.” For the students, this excitement may come from the results of a science experiment. For the parents, it might be seeing their child discuss a fun fact they learned, which becomes part of the family’s conversation around the dinner table. Inspiring minds and never knowing where her influence will end is how this teacher and busi-ness owner spends her days. As Kelly says, “I just want to make something within them spark.”

You and your family have worked hard to acquire your home, a rental property or other real estate holdings, and you qualified for

that mortgage thanks to your income level, ex-cellent credit rating and financial history.

But what would happen if you — the primary income producer or even as half of a dual-income partnership — suddenly died? Besides the emotional trauma, a surviving spouse may experience a significant decrease in household income that could lead to foreclosure. That’s why many banks and mortgage companies encourage homeowners to purchase mortgage life insurance.

Life Insurance from a Lender vs. an Insurance CompanyBasically, you purchase mortgage life insurance so that in the event of an untimely death, funds are available to meet any outstand-ing mortgage balance. But the type of insurance you purchase can greatly affect your surviving family members’ options.

When you purchase insurance from a bank or mortgage company, you generally lose all ownership control. In many cases, you pay the premiums, the lender receives the proceeds at the insured’s death, and your family receives the deed to the house. While this may seem like an equitable solution, the spouse may not want to remain in the home due to several factors:The daily memories may be too difficult to handle.The expenses may be too large to maintain.Your spouse needs to live closer to friends and family.Your spouse needs to relocate for a better job or school area.

With personally owned life insurance, you have more choices and control because your surviving spouse (assuming he/she is the ben-eficiary) — not the lender — receives the insurance proceeds at your death. Your spouse decides what to do with the money. He/she can pay the mortgage in one lump sum or continue paying it down periodically. Plus, personally owned life insurance is portable, which means if you move in a few years, you won’t have to replace your insurance, which could be a costly process. Furthermore, even after the mortgage is paid, personally owned life insurance can pro-vide other valuable benefits.

Make a Choice TodayWhether you decide to purchase mortgage life insurance through a bank or personally owned life insurance, the key is to be prepared. There is a real chance that someday one person will be solely re-sponsible for your family’s finances. Taking the necessary steps to-day can ensure your family’s financial future tomorrow.

Trash talkBy diCK rothsChild, Clipper Columnist

Does the headline sound as though this column is about the Sacramento hardcore band Trash Talk or maybe the recent verbal donnybrook

between Tampa Bay’s Carl Crawford and Joe Madden and Ump Davidson at a Red Sox game? It’s not. But, read on. You are about to become the first in your neighborhood able to hold forth on where all the blue trash bags go, and what happens to them after they are dropped into the pit at the Duxbury Recycling Center.

Twice weekly Duxbury’s DPW (Department of Public Works) delivers a truckload of our blue bagged MSW (Municipal Solid Waste) to a huge facility in West Wareham, Massachusetts known as SEMASS.

Here, believe it or not, a million tons of trash a year, including ours, is used as fuel to generate electricity. In the process our dependency on fossil fuels, greenhouse gas emissions and need for more landfills is reduced.

The Rube Goldberg-like Schematic Process Diagram below may help you visualize the process which goes like this:

The trash arrives by truck and railroad freight car and is dumped on the floor of the Tipping Hall, where it is bulldozed onto a conveyor and fed into a shredder. The shredder chops it into 4 x 4-inch chunks and dumps them onto a second conveyor. At the top of this conveyor a magnetic device removes all the ferrous metals, which are then shunted via another conveyor to trucks to be sold and recycled. You would think there is not much iron or steel in trash, but the SEMASS facility recovers over 50,000 tons a year.

The chopped up trash (with iron and steel removed) is conveyed to one of three boilers. These are big babies housed in a building almost nine stories high. Burning trash chunks as fuel, these boilers produce steam, which turns steam turbines, which turn generators to produce electricity.

SEMASS generates 590,000 megawatts of electricity from the million tons of trash it processes yearly, enough to satisfy the electricity needs of all the households in Duxbury plus many in Kingston.

A byproduct is made by introducing water and lime into the boiler exhaust just before it enters the air pollution control equipment. The combination comes out as the major component of sheetrock. Another byproduct is fly ash, sometimes used in concrete. A scrubber removes most of the airborne pollutants, making the exhaust from SEMASS cleaner than that from either a coal or oil fueled electric generating plant.

While 51 towns use the SEMASS facility, it is neither municipally nor state owned. Along with 33 other EFW facilities and six biomass facilities in the U.S. SEMASS is operated by Covanta Energy Corporation, a Subsidiary of Covanta Holding Corporation.

Covanta has negotiated long term contracts with the towns which use SEMASS. Duxbury pays Covanta $98.50 a ton to dispose of its trash. Covanta sells the electricity produced from trash to NStar at 5-cents per kW. And, it sells recyclable recovered materials and byproducts at market prices.

As I write this I can almost see some of you environmentally responsible investors rushing to computers or phones to buy some Covanta Holding Corporation stock.Without wanting to take wind out of your sails, I should point out that in spite of making and selling products from raw materials that they are paid to accept, this business, to date, has been less than a bonanza for stockholders. Total return over the past five fiscal years has been a measly 1.6 percent. With CVA stock selling recently at $15.43 a share and 2009 earnings of 66 cents a share the stock has a lofty P/E ratio of 25.2. The environmental dividends are worthwhile, to be sure, but, alas, no cash dividends are paid.

on the other hand, Charles Schwab forecasts a 10 percent annual growth rate for Covanta over the next five years, better than many other environmentally responsible enterprises.

As far as stock picking goes, though, you are on your own. As William Feather puts it, “one of the funny things about the stock market is that every time one person buys, another sells and both of them think they are astute.”

D e n i s e ( B o u d r o t ) Hopkins, age 57, died on May 19 after a two-year battle with brain can-cer at her farm in Grafton, Vt. She had been a resident of Standish Road, Duxbury for 12 years, and also had a farm in

ocala Fla. For 13 years, Mrs. Hopkins rode the New

England thoroughbred racehorse circuit win-ning over one thousand races. In 1972, she rode in her first horse race. She was a pioneer for female jockeys, at a time when there were very few of them at the track. She earned the nick-name Longshot Lady and in the fall of 1974,

the 22-year-old became the first woman to win a riding title at a major thoroughbred track – Suffolk Downs. Recently, the New England Turf Writers Association elected her to its Hall of Fame. Mrs. Hopkins is the fifth jockey rec-ognized by the NETWA with this honor, and the only woman.

Retiring in 1985, she married Roland Hop-kins, the founder of the New England and New York Real Estate Journals and a successful racehorse owner.

Mrs. Hopkins leaves her husband Rolly; her stepdaughters Tracey Denelle of Duxbury and Kathi Blair of Hingham; her stepsons Ste-phen of Cambridge and Rock of Pasadena, Ca-lif.; and her six grandchildren.

A ceremony was celebrated in Vermont on Memorial Day. In lieu of flowers please send donations to the Springfield Humane Society, 401 Skitchewaug Trail, Springfield, VT 05156-8820 or the Norris Cotton Cancer Center at Dartmouth Hitchcock, one Medical Center Dr., Lebanon, NH 03756-0001.

South Shore Conserva-tory, the region’s largest com-munity school for the arts, and Duxbury Art Association, the region’s oldest art association, have teamed up to offer a com-prehensive two-week Summer Theater Camp titled “Let’s Put on a Show!” to children ages 6 to 11 from August 16 to 27 at the Ellison Center for the Arts, 64 St. George St. The camp will be held Monday through Friday both weeks, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Designed as a compre-hensive immersion program, children will experience a true

“child-created” theater pro-duction under the guidance of the SSC and DAA arts fac-ulty. With the DAA, students will design and create a theat-rical set, costumes, and perfor-mance programs. SSC instruc-tors will guide students as they develop acting roles, write songs and play musical ac-companiment to be featured in the camp finale: a full produc-tion musical “Bremen Town Musician.” This Grimm’s fairy tale-style play tells a story of cooperation and friendship that captures the spirit of the collaborative camp experience

through animals played by ac-tors. Students will welcome parents and families to their completed musical production on Aug. 27.

To register for this program or to learn more, please con-tact Anne Smith at 781-934-2731 ext. 11 or visit sscmusic.org for complete schedule, registration, and pricing in-formation for all South Shore Conservatory offerings.

the rest of the money private-ly and work was completed only within the last couple of weeks.

On Monday, the parade procession paused briefly at the memorial before entering

First Parish Church for the Memorial Day service.

“What a perfect day to be rededicating Duxbury’s World War I memorial,” said Chair-man of the Board of Select-men Shawn Dahlen. “Thank you to the dedicated commit-tee that worked diligently for

three years to make this a re-ality. Thank you to the many volunteers who offered their time to complete the installa-tion. I am proud to be part of a community where the efforts of so many volunteers shape the character of our commu-nity.”

Inside the church, Ameri-can Legion Post Commander Joseph Giannangelo opened the service by pointing out this was the 126th year Dux-bury has hosted Memorial Day services.

“May the ceremonies of today deepen our reverence for our dead,” Giannangelo said.

The 2010 Memorial Day speaker was David Flaherty, a 1985 graduate of Duxbury High School and current U.S. Coast Guard Commander. He has served in the Coast Guard for 18 years.

Flaherty talked about the Coast Guard’s humble begin-nings as an arm of the U.S. Treasury (“Fortunately we don’t collect taxes anymore,” he quipped) and asked the crowd to remember those in the Coast Guard who have given their lives in the service of their country.

Q. My pool water test kit was new last year. Do I need new bottles? (You know, the red/white bottles!)

A. If you have the test kit that uses the bottles of OTO for the Chlorine and the Phenol Red for the pH tests, yes you do need to replace these each year. If you use the DPD tablets for the Chlorine test, replace these every 3 years as well as the Chlorine Neutralizer (No.4) bottle. (Note - if you would like to bring us a quart sample of your pool water (after the filter has been running for at least 48 hours) we'll run a complete test with our ACCU-SCAN water analyzer.)

authority and filed it with the Town Clerk. He also pointed out that if he did indeed re-move himself from the pro-cess, the board would not have a quorum to continue with the Merry Village hearings, which have been going on for over a year.

The irony of it all is that much of the animosity be-tween the Zoning Board and the Merry Village developers was sparked by the town’s questioning of McCluskey’s relationship to the project.

McCluskey’s son Patrick was given one of the afford-able units in the project. The 40B rules clearly state that no relative of anyone with a financial interest in the proj-ect can get a house, however McCluskey said at a previous hearing that he had no such interest – instead, he was paid as a consultant. At Thursday’s hearing, Murphy said it is still unclear what McCluskey’s re-lationship to the project is.

These issues have caused MassHousing, the state agen-cy that oversees affordable housing projects, to censure two organizations involved in Merry Village.

In an April 26 letter from Gina Dailey, director of com-prehensive permit programs for MassHousing, Delphic Associates LLC and South Shore Housing Development Corporation were informed that they will not be approved as housing lottery agents (in the case of Delphic) or project monitors (in the case of South Shore Housing) for a period of six months.

“We are extremely con-cerned about some matters which came to light during the course of our review of Pat-rick McCluskey’s purchase of a unit at the above-referenced project [Merry Village],” Dai-ley wrote.

She goes on to say that McCluskey’s financial pack-age was incomplete –– he had no pre-approval from a bank or mortgage company and his only proof of income was a letter from his father –– and as such, he should have never been approved for the hous-ing lottery.

“There was no evidence that any institutional lender had determined that Patrick McCluskey was a qualified borrower,” wrote Dailey.

According to the Mass-Housing letter, no housing lottery was ever held because there were not enough ap-plicants for the available af-fordable units. The develop-ers then conducted their own marketing, using Delphic, on a “first come, first serve” ba-sis. Patrick McCluskey’s unit was the third of the projects’ five affordable units sold.

“If more aggressive mar-keting of the affordable units had been undertaken, per-haps enough potential buy-ers would have come forward to warrant a lottery, and then any appearance of impropri-ety regarding the purchase of an affordable unit by Patrick McCluskey might have been avoided,” Dailey wrote.

Originally, Merry Vil-lage was supposed to be an age-restricted development, meaning residents have to be over 55 to live there. When they couldn’t get enough ap-plicants, they came back to the town to lift the age restric-tions. ZBA members said that when they agreed to that, they made a condition that a new lottery be held –– something that never happened.

“It’s an express condition that was completely ignored by the monitoring agent and the applicant,” said Murphy.

Murphy said that the town’s accountant is still waiting on several documents before he can complete his re-view of Merry Village’s finan-cial documents called a cost certification. He suggested that the board ask MassHous-ing not to sign off on anything until the town gets those doc-uments.

“How can we make in-formed comments on this when the applicant has failed to meet the obligation of the permit?” said ZBA member Judi Barrett.

Barrett also pointed out that although MassHousing had harsh words for the lot-tery and monitoring agents, they were silent on the larger issue.

“They raise it to the point that they say Delphic and South Shore Housing, you’re off our list for six months, but they back off from making a determination as to whether or not McCluskey has a finan-cial interest. ... What I want to know is who makes that de-termination,” she said.

“Whether or not someone has a financial interest is an empirical fact, it’s knowable,” added Murphy.

The hearing was contin-ued until July 22.

a member of the the Garden Club Federation of Massa-chusetts, is showcasing an enchanting garden with views of the bridge, bay and ocean. Wander through the grounds enjoying beautifully arranged

flower and herb beds and be transported to another world with tranquil koi ponds and breathtaking sculptures. A special highlight centered in a fountain is “The Great Blue Heron” by Elliot Offner (win-ner of the National Sculpture Society’s rarely bestowed medal of honor). These are

just a few of the wonderful treasures that await residents on a tour of five unique gar-dens in Duxbury. Mark your calendar, as the CGCD Garden Tour will be held on Thursday, June 17 from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. (with June 18 as the rain-date).

Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a

new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation,

or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting

place for those who here gave their lives that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.

But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate – we can not consecrate – we can not hallow – this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us – that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion – that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain – that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom – and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

In response to a letter written by an outraged parent after the unfor-

tunate incident of a “threat of danger” in the middle school, I would like to voice my opinion on this subject. Back in 2002 an unprecedented number of death threats occurred several times in both the middle school and the high school over the course of several years. As a parent of a child continually on the “hit lists” my family, along with many others, were prom-ised by all the town leaders, police, school, FBI, etc. that when the person responsible for the letters and death threats

(these were not idle threats but well-thought out and extremely detailed in the persons desire to hurt students) was apprehend-ed, they would be “prosecuted to the full extent of the law.” This turned out to be an empty promise and the person respon-sible was never punished, never apologized and was never asked to reimburse the several hun-dreds of dollars the town had put up to solve the case. (To the best of my knowledge these are true. Although the person was apprehended, we were never contacted by anyone). In the aftermath there are still people who are “scarred” from the

threats made to their lives and to why this person got away with it. What kind of message did we send to all children by letting this just go away? Of course “threats of danger” will continue until kids realize they will be punished for commit-ting such heinous acts against other human beings. I hope that if this person is found, the law will be upheld. I just hope the same mistakes aren’t made again because this will go on and on and on and ...

Middle school threats no laughing matter

Today my grandmoth-er and I were driving home from the li-

brary and we spotted a painted turtle crossing the road. So, we pulled over to help it cross the road safely. But when I tried to help it cross, a car came and hit

the turtle and the turtle died. The turtle only had one foot to go until it was on the other side of the street. The car that hit the turtle was a tan pickup truck and was going way too fast. The death of this turtle makes me very sad. I hope this

letter becomes a reminder that we have lots of wildlife that call Duxbury home and that we should respect that and the environment around us. Please drive carefully and slower.

Drive slow, save a turtle ————————

It is graduation week for our daughter Grace and the Duxbury High

School class of 2010. We have been privileged to

get to know and see the matur-ing of this outstanding group of students over the 13 years they have been in school. They truly are a special class, who are not just fun to know, but who have taken excellent advantage of their four years at DHS and will do many great things out in the world. We have also enjoyed getting to know many of their fine and caring families as well over the years. They should take credit for their great group of kids.

We would like to take a mo-ment to thank the Duxbury Pub-lic Schools for their dedication in getting this class launched into adulthood. Teachers in ev-ery grade have been very nur-turing and giving of their own

time, and should know they are truly appreciated and their ef-forts will bear fruit far into the future. We must also commend the many, many staff who have boundless energies for the extra curricular activities: the music, drama, sports, clubs and ser-vice groups that have made this class of 2010 learn and grow well beyond the four walls of a classroom.

It is also all the others who make the schools run that de-serve our thanks as well – the School Committee, the admin-istrators, the staffs of the front offices, the guidance, the lunch ladies, the nurses, the bus driv-ers , the grounds guys and the custodians. They have in so many small and large ways provided the environment for this class to excel and grow into caring adults.

We would be remiss in not singling out one important per-

son for our grateful thanks:Sue Skeiber, our superin-

tendent, has guided this class throughout her career here in Duxbury and strived whole-heartedly to create the atmo-sphere for the superior educa-tion that this class has thrived in. She should know that her hard work will mature and flourish as this class of 2010 DHS graduates moves into the world.

So class of 2010, the Letter Friend Parade has in a blink of an eye turned to Pomp and Cir-cumstance. We know golden futures lie ahead for all of you thanks to your time in the Dux-bury Public Schools, so go and “seize your future with longing and embrace your past with re-membrance!”

Bike helmet safety drive upcoming —————

Dear resident: You may have heard this news, there is

a group in Duxbury that is try-ing to raise awareness and use of helmets amongst our youth and their parents as well. To that end, we have formed a group called RIDE PHAT (Pro-tect your Head at All Times) and are in the process of raising funds from local citizens and businesses.

Starting in late June, the lo-cal police department and other figures of authority will hand out $2 coupons to people they see wearing their helmets while biking, rollerblading, skate-boarding, etc. The coupons will go towards a slice of pizza, an ice cream cone, a smoothie and

other treats that people enjoy at the following stores: Bench-warmers, Duxbury Pizza, Far Fars, French Memories, One and Scoops.

On Saturday, June 19, the DSU and Go Big Boarding are holding a Summer Shred Event with skateboard demonstrations and several bands. This will be our kick-off introduction of the RIDE PHAT program in Dux-bury. Also, a group of DHS se-niors will present a brief video at both DHS and DMS and will be telling the students at Alden and Chandler Schools about the program during their lunch pe-riods. We hope to reach as many school kids as possible to raise awareness on the importance of wearing helmets, something

we feel is sorely lacking in our town. We want to be proactive and not wait for a bad accident to happen to prompt this cam-paign.

Please consider making a donation in the $10-20 range for this cause which will bring a positive message to Duxbury families. We have done a lot of research and it tells us that reward programs like RIDE PHAT work! Donations can be made out to RIDE PHAT and sent to P.O. Box 2178, Dux-bury, MA 02331.

Selden Wells TearseOn behalf of the Ride PHAT

Committee

Give back street signs

Forgiveness, amnesty, pardon –– all of these cherished virtues could be yours during the month of June. To qualify all you need to do is go to the Highway Depart-

ment yard on Tremont Street and return any and all Duxbury street signs you currently have in your possession. You can be certain that there will be no questions asked, photos taken, fines or DNA collected. While it may have been a call to “STOP” an injustice or “YIELD” to a love of world peace or “ONE WAY” to a goal of your choice or what could be better than a “LOVERS LANE” or toast to the “BREWER” of your favorite beer. While these are noble causes, signs need to be posted on a street post and not on your wall or stored away in your garage. Speaking of garages, this could be a great time for empty nesters to review their garages to see if there are any Highway Department signs longing to be re-turned. So pile them in your vehicle of choice and bring them all to the Highway Department yard on Tremont Street right behind Town Hall. Let’s put our signs back to work!

Fitting words on Memorial Day

One of the highlights of Memorial Day is always the reading of the Gettysburg Address by a Duxbury High School Senior. We can think of no more fitting words after this solemn weekend than Abraham Lincoln’s brief but memorable dedication speech...

After decades of teaching music in the Duxbury Pub-

lic Schools, Jim Vinci and Su-san Sylvester have decided to retire. “We’re losing our book-ends in the string department” said music department head Ric Madru. “ Susan Sylvester starts the kids in fifth grade and Jim Vinci works with them in high school.”

Mr. Vinci joined the music program in 1976 and Mrs. Syl-vester joined in 1979. It is esti-mated they have taught nearly 10,000 Duxbury students. Duxbury Music Promoters has organized a community cel-ebration to thank and honor these remarkable music educa-tors. Come join music faculty, DHS alumni, students, parents and friends Friday June 11, 6-8 p.m. at Duxbury Bay Maritime School. For additional infor-mation please contact Pam Smith at 781-934-6492.

Duxbury Music Promoters seek new talentWith several Duxbury Music Promoter board members

watching their youngest students head off to college this fall, DMP is looking for parents of musicians in grades 5 through 12, and other community members who love music to join its band of volunteers and fund-raisers. Thanks to top-notch faculty, Duxbury’s music program is the best in the state, and DMP’s job is to support them behind-the-scenes in a wide number of roles. Parents with expertise in PR or who’d like to help with the holiday auction are particularly welcome. Find out all the ways to get involved at a meeting on Tuesday, June 8 at 7 p.m. in the high school orchestra room.

Students at Duxbury Mid-dle School collected Pennies for Patients to benefit the Leu-kemia and Lymphoma Society during the month of March. After two weeks of students donating money to their indi-vidual homerooms, the total was $2200. One of the themes this year was Mission Possible – where homerooms would be competing to earn team gold, silver and bronze pennants. The top fundraising class was Ms. Bogg’s sixth grade home-room. They won a pizza party awarded by the Society and the gold pennant. Silver pen-nants will be awarded to Ms. Madden’s sixth grade home-

room and Mrs. Lanzilotta’s eighth grade homeroom, and bronze pennants will go to Mrs. Lamoureux’s seventh grade homeroom and Ms. Per-chase’s sixth grade homeroom. To sweeten the pot, there was an additional fundraising raf-fle to be “principal for a day,” which added another $180 to the donations. The principal for the day, an eighth grader, enjoyed her responsibilities on Wednesday, April 14, and as a parting gesture proclaimed the next day as “wear your hat to school day.”

A generous donation was received from a seventh grade student that pledged and deliv-

ered his April birthday money for the cause.

This event was run through the DMS Health Office as leu-kemia is the leading cause of disease related death among children. The mission of the Leukemia and Lymphoma So-ciety is to cure leukemia, lym-phoma, Hodgkin’s disease and myeloma, and to improve the quality of life of patients and their families.

Congratulations goes out to all who generously partici-pated in this fundraiser where our grand total of $2,600 proved to be our best year yet.

Help is needed for Grad Nite

Graduation is rapidly ap-proaching and the Grad Nite 2010 Committee needs your help to make this a success-ful event. Senior parents are requested to participate in the decorating, but any DHS parent is welcome. Send your donation ($30 per se-nior family, $15 for families of younger students) to PO Box 1489, Duxbury, 02331 or you may drop in the of-fice in a box designated for Grad Nite. We welcome any non-senior parent to chap-erone Grad Nite (Saturday June 5; 9:30 p.m.-3 a.m.).

Following their tradition of Mothers’ Day pancake breakfasts, the Duxbury

Rotary Club is giving dads a break this Fathers’ Day, Sunday, June 19, at the Duxbury Senior Center from 8:30 to 11 a.m. Of course, moms, kids, and anyone else can join in the good eating. Adults pay $6, children under 12 pay $4, for the classic fare of pancakes, sausage, and orange juice.

Rotary President George Prebola

touted the new venue – the Senior Center – and said that this year’s Mothers’ Day breakfast was the best ever, with happy Rotarians, happy customers, and above all, happy children.

“The face painting was a huge hit,” he said. “We’ll have that again for Fathers’ Day.”

Duxbury’s Rotary uses the funds raised for a variety of programs both local and international. The club’s support for the Zabuli School for Girls in Afghanistan continues, especially focused on building a much-needed protective wall around the side and rear of the school’s compound. Such walls are standard in Afghanistan, and are especially important for the safety and

WHAT’S GOING ON HERE?

Dad’s turn: Rotary breakfast

continued on page 4

By Bruce Barrett, clipper columnist [email protected]

Jonathan Brewster was the recipient of a grant of 80 acres in

the Plymouth Colony Second Division of 1627. He acquired the property sometime be-tween 1627 and 1632, and was accorded the 80 acres because as a family of four, he, his wife,

Lucretia, and two chil-dren were to receive 20 acres each. J o n a t h a n e v e n t u a l l y had nine or 10 children.

Jonathan was the eldest

son of Elder William Brewster. He sold his house and land to Comfort Starr, an appropriately named doctor, in June of 1638, so he lived on this property for a relatively short time and then moved closer to his father in the Standish Shore area. For this reason we will cover the Brewster family when we get to that property. This property was to become the Wadsworth family’s, which owned all or part of it for about 180 years.

Doctor Starr passed the property on to his son John, also a doctor, in 1643 or 1644. Dr. John Starr sold the property to Christopher Wad-sworth, he of the “X”opher moniker. Christopher and his wife, Grace, left this property to second son Deacon John be-cause their eldest son, Joseph, already had property by the Jones River (which incidental-ly was named for the Captain of the Mayflower).

In 1700 Deacon John willed this property (and other property) to his eldest son John, also a deacon. For clarity we’ll refer to him as

Deacon John II. Both deacon Johns were “Coasters” who sailed out of Wadsworth Creek with cord wood and produce destined for Boston. They were quite successful in this venture. Wadsworth Creek is located in the little valley be-tween Wadsworth Road and Wirt Way.

Deacon John II, during his lifetime, deeded various par-cels to his children. His son Peleg was deeded the westerly half of this property, and son Uriah was deeded the easterly half. Uriah acquired property adjacent to his own on the north side of what is now Tremont Street. This is most likely the source of the naming of Uriah Drive opposite Wadsworth

Road. Deacon John II deeded the Job Cole property to his eldest son Dr. John (Bayridge Lane), and other property to his son Ichabod and daughter Mary.

After Uriah’s death in 1784 his property was divided up among his heirs. His broth-er Peleg received a substantial amount of Uriah’s property which was adjacent to the part that he already owned. The other heirs received the ex-treme northeasterly part of the property and sold it to Jona-than Loring in 1785. I believe that this property ended up, in the early 1900s, being owned by Thomas L. Barstow, and may have had the Dr. John Starr house on it.

In 1799 Peleg Wadsworth divided his portion of the property between his two sons, Ira and Dura. Dura received the southwesterly section and Ira the northeasterly section. Ira’s son Joseph F. Wadsworth through his father’s will and by purchase from his siblings acquired the northeasterly sec-tion in 1823.

In 1824 Dura, now living in Hiram, Maine, gave his por-tion of the property (except the five acres separated by the creek) to his son John. John, either died or moved on, so Dura, who with his wife had retained some rights in the land, sold the property to Isaac Torrey in 1835. Understand-ably, this is where Torrey Lane is located, whether named for Isaac, or Daniel or George, his descendents, we know not.

Some interesting Wad-sworth history: Peleg’s son Peleg (II or Jr.) was a Briga-dier General during the Revo-lution. He recruited a company of minutemen in 1774, became a brigadier major in 1776, and was adjutant general of Mas-sachusetts from 1776 to 1778. He was second in command of the abortive Penobscot Expe-dition. This was an expedition mounted to lay siege to a Brit-ish fort at Penobscot, Maine in 1779. Commanded by General Solomon Lovell, the Revo-lutionary force outnumbered the British with both ships and men, but was defeated by the British under the command of General Francis McLean. Some historians consider this the worst defeat in U.S. Na-val history until Dec. 7, 1941. General Peleg Wadsworth was also in charge of the defense

sense of security of the girls attending the school, and for their teachers, all women.

“From what I understand,” George explained, “the job is about 60 percent complete. We want to finish it up.”

The entire town has had a crucial role in building and launching the Zabuli School, a project of former Duxbury Businesswoman Razia Jan, also a Rotarian. Razia’s tireless work has gone far beyond fundraising for the school. She is the director, now living again in her native Afghanistan, where she also works for Arzu Rugs, a charity which provides support, education, and a fair price directly to the women who weave Afghan rugs in the traditional way.

Local charitable efforts by the Duxbury club include $3,000 in scholarships to Duxbury children. This includes the $2,000 Ted Leonard Scholarship, named in honor of a Duxbury Rotarian who rose to the rank of district governor in the organization, and $1,000 in other scholarships. The club also provided the Fire Department with a defibrillator.

“We are always looking for ways to help here and abroad, especially people who need the help right now,” said George.

Elsewhere on the international front, the club has donated $2,000 to the Rotary’s program to eradicate polio, which is doubled by Bill and Melinda Gates’ matching gift, a part of the couple’s overall gift of $370 million. Another $2,000 went recently for Haitian relief, providing a package of shelter and supplies sufficient for a family of 10 for months.

You can check out rotary.org for more information, especially about the organizations international footprint. Rotary is, in a sense, a local group with membership around the world. In honor of the coming breakfast, I like to think of Rotary as taking on a “Honey Do” list of global proportions, but this time, for one day at least, Dad can take it easy (along with Mom) and get a yummy breakfast without helping to clean up.

George hinted that a raffle is in the planning stages, provided that some nifty gifts can be donated to the cause, but the breakfast is the important thing.

“Nobody comes just for a raffle,” George explained.It’s all about the pancakes. Face painting can keep a kid

happy (or the kid in anyone), but it can’t beat a full belly. Somehow, that makes sense globally, too, but the full belly I’m talking about is the one that gives a few dollars, gets a bargain in return, and leaves feeling rich and satisfied.

of the Eastern Coast.Captured by the British in

February of 1781 at his head-quarters in Thomaston, Maine. he was imprisoned in Fort George at Castine. He escaped during the night of June 18, 1781 and returned to his fam-ily in Duxbury. After the war was over he returned to Maine and settled in what is now Portland. He built Portland’s first brick house in 1784. He eventually was elected to the United States House of Repre-sentatives, an office to which he was re-elected seven times. The General moved to Hiram, in 1807, where he died in No-vember of 1829.

The General’s daugh-ter, Zilpah, married Stephen Longfellow, who succeeded his father-in-law as Represen-tative in the U.S. Congress. They were the parents of Henry Wadsworth Longfel-low, America’s beloved poet, who spent his boyhood years in the brick house in Portland, now known as the Wadsworth-Longfellow House. Henry was a veteran of the Civil War and was quite proud of his Dux-bury connection.

The Wadsworths have mi-grated to many different lo-cations: Hiram, Lincolnville, Hope, Winslow and Portland in Maine; Toronto, Canada;

several locations in Utah and Idaho because of Abiah Wad-sworth’s migration with Jo-seph Smith, and their associa-tion with Brigham Young and the Mormon Church. Some of Abiah’s descendants even pushed through Idaho into Canada. All in all, the Wads-worth’s represent an example of the true American spirit.

So to continue the owner-ship chain, Peleg I had divided the property between his two sons Dura and Ira. Dura sell-ing the southwesterly portion (about 32 acres) to Isaac Torrey in 1835, and Joseph F. Wads-worth acquiring the northeast-erly portion (about 40 acres) from his father Ira’s will and by purchase from Ira’s heirs in 1823. Joseph F. Wadsworth’s widow, Ann, sold the north-easterly portion to William H. Winsor in 1866.

The next owner was Dan-iel W. Symmes (1867). The Symmes family through Isaac Symmes sold the property to Mary Anise Baker in July of 1912. The Baker heirs sold the property to William E. Beals in 1924. He started the devel-opment of the property using the “Wadsworth-Longfellow Terrace” name. I guess they were trying to capitalize on the Wadsworth cousin Henry W. Longfellow (to no avail – as we will see).

This division of the south-erly end of the property had 50-by-80-foot lots and two streets (Dorothy and Barbara) in addition to the beginning of Wadsworth Road as it stands today. The development seems to have met with limited suc-cess as its next owner was the Plymouth Co-operative Bank, which sold the property in 1932 to Fred W. Snow, who then sold it to Viola M. Waitt in August of 1950. Viola de-veloped the property as “Indi-an Hill Acres (Oct 1950)” and divided the property as we see it today with Indian Trail, Ar-rowhead Road and Wadsworth Road as the street names. Al-though Indian artifacts have been found in Duxbury, we don’t know if they found any in this area to justify using those street names.

The portion of the property that Dura Wadsworth sold to Isaac Torrey in 1835 was in the Torrey family name for close to 100 years, making them feel justified in calling what had been Wadsworth Creek, Torrey Creek. This property was shown as being owned by George H. Torrey in 1913. Later it was owned by James C. Ingalls (1950), most likely where Ingalls Grove (south of Bay Road) got its name.

The Duxbury Art Associ-ation announces new themes for its highly successful Sum-mer Fun program. Summer Fun is the visual arts program where children can stretch their imaginations, learn new skills and make new friends. This visual arts program in-corporates art, crafts and creative activities including songs, games, stories and play.

This year’s themes and dates:

July 6–9: ( 4 days) Stars & Stripes*

July 12–16: Under the Sea

July 19–23: Artsy Astro-nauts

July 26–30: Animal Ex-pedition

Aug. 2–6: Mexican Mad-ness

Aug. 9-13: Knights & Princesses

Aug. 16-20: Surfin’ Sa-fari

Aug. 23–27: Wild Wild West

Each week students ex-plore the theme by creating two-dimensional and three-dimensional art projects us-ing an assortment of mate-rials in the studio with the supervision and support of an art teacher and a teaching as-sistant. Students learn about

the animals, environment, history and culture relevant for each theme. The program focuses on the creative pro-cess and learning experience.

Summer Fun runs Mon-day through Friday from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.

The highlight of each week is the art show at noon on Friday when parents, rela-tives and friends are invited to view the art created by the students during the week.

The program offers specific activities and proj-ects best suited for two age groups: 4-5-year-olds or 6-9-year-olds. An art instructor and teaching assistant work with a maximum of 12 stu-dents per session. Students are asked to dress for mess, bring a snack and a beach towel.

Tuition for members is $180 per week with a dis-counted tuition of $160 for an additional sibling in the same family, the same price as last year!

*$145 members / $195 non-members for Stars & Stripes

Students may become members at the time of reg-istration. Tuition assistance is available; a scholarship ap-plication is available at dux-buryart.org.

Join friends and neighbors to enjoy a walk on the MacFar-land Trail on Saturday, June 5, to celebrate the opening of a new section of the Bay Cir-cuit Trail. The walk is part of National Trails Day and fol-lows a ribbon cutting at 9:30 a.m. with brief remarks by Alan French, chairman of the Bay Circuit Trail and Chuck Lathrop, Pembroke BCT co-ordinator. The dedication and walk will take place at the cul-de-sac at the end of Learn-ing Lane off Hobomock St. in Pembroke. The walk is about two miles and will end at Con-gress Street. Shuttles will be available to return to Learning

Lane no later than noon. Wear good walking shoes and bring water.

The Bay Circuit Trail was proposed in 1929 as an outer “emerald necklace,” linking parks, open spaces and wa-terways from Plum Island to Kingston Bay. The 200-mile corridor includes 50 cities and towns. Through volunteer and organizational help, the trail is nearing completion. It is pos-sible (with some detours) for hikers to traverse the entire trail, and several groups and individuals have done so. The opening of the MacFarland Trail is an important complet-ing step.

For detailed information on BCT and maps, please visit www.baycircuit.org.

They earned a spot in post-season play, but didn’t exact-ly do it in style, as the Lady Dragons dropped their final five matches and ended up at 9-9.

Facing the iron of their schedule for the second time this season, things didn’t get any better, as Coach Jutta Rossano’s squad was shutout by Marshfield and Scituate, while managing to win a game in a 4-1 loss to Notre Dame that ended the regular season schedule.

Taking on Marshfield in the first of three straight matches, the Lady Dragons had no answers for the Rams, whose Leah Kelly had little trouble with Duxbury’s Mi-chaela Dowd, winning 6-1/6-2 over Duxbury’s No. 1 player.

Cory Tucker at No. 2

lost to Emily Henriksen by the identical score (1-6/2-6), while Casey Reinhart at No. 3 couldn’t overcome the play of Charlotte Janda, losing 3-6/2-6.

Duxbury’s first doubles tandem of Erin Nelson and Julia Allen battled before los-ing to Ashley Fidler and Tay-lor Koelsch, 3-6/2-6, while the No. 2 duo of Therese Kozmis-ki and Nicole Hanrahan put up a valiant effort in a 4-6 first-set loss, before dropping the sec-ond set, 1-6.

It’s been years since Dux-bury has been able to solve Scituate in women’s tennis, and that futility continued on

Tuesday with Duxbury losing 5-0.

Dowd was forced to with-draw at No. 1 singles where Kate O’Connor just had to show up for the victory, while Tucker had problems with Caroline Martin and dropped her match, 2-6/0-6, at No. 2 singles.

Reinhart lost a two-set match to Shawna Cochran (3-6, 6-3) in a tie-breaker (3 set 3-7).

Nelson and Allen were manhandled by Destanee Ringler and Roisin Sullivan, 0-6/1-6, to set the tone, while Kozmiski and Hanrahan al-most pulled off a first-set win

before losing, 4-6, and getting wiped out in the second set, 1-6.

It was the first meeting of the year with Notre Dame, and the Hingham school wasn’t very hospitable, as they pinned the Lady Dragons with a 4-1 loss.

Dowd returned to the lineup and beat Notre Dame’s Meg Hall rather easily with a 6-1/6-3 triumph, only to see her teammates fight hard and come close in the remaining

matches.Tucker lost two grueling

sets to Nicole Hayes, 4-6/4-6, while Lilly Weil took over at No. 3 and lost to Allie Bridge, 4-6/3-6.

Allen and Nelson kept it close at No. 1 doubles before losing to Devon Curley and Erin Fontaine, 4-6/3-6, and Kozmiski and Hanrahan bat-tled Diane Garrow and Gabri-elle Rodman at No. 2 doubles before succumbing in a 4-6/1-6 match-up.

Walter fires no-hitter in finaleBy mike Halloran, sports editor

[email protected]

Laura Walter sure knows how to go out in style, as the senior right-hander threw a no-hitter in a 2-0 shutout of Scituate last Thursday after-noon in Duxbury.

The victory made it four wins in a row for the Lady Dragons, who ended regular-season play with a 13-6 re-cord, winning seven of their last eight games.

The Senior Day perfor-mance by Walter included nine strikeouts and was a lot closer than the 17-1 pounding of the Sailors two weeks earlier.

Walter would get all the run support she needed in the first inning, compliments of a

pair of Scituate errors. She continued to mow

down the Scituate batting or-der and contributed to an insur-ance run in the sixth when she led off with a single and had Alex Leaverton pinch-run for her. The move worked to per-fection, as Leaverton promptly stole second and third, coming home on a Laura Donovan sin-gle to make it 2-0.

Earlier in the week Dux-bury traveled to Marshfield in hopes of knocking off the Rams once again. Both coach-es felt it would be a close game and it turned out as they predicted.

After four scoreless in-nings, the Lady Dragons broke through with a single run on a walk, a fielder’s choice, and a Marshfield error for a 1-0 lead.

Marshfield came right back and evened the score in the bottom of the fifth after a rare walk given up by Walter, a bloop single and a fielder’s choice.

Tied in the seventh, Dux-

bury opened the inning with a long double by freshman Lind-sey Cobb. Leaverton pinch ran for Cobb and Donovan

drove her home with a single to right field. Madi Duddy and Erin Gallagher followed with back-to-back hits knocking in

Donovan.Walter held Marshfield

scoreless in the seventh to earn the win.

Time to start anew for girls’ tennis

Freshman orientation The athletic department will be holding an orientation for

students and parents of incoming freshman (current eighth graders) on Monday, June 14 in the DHS Student Lounge.

A “nuts and bolts” overview of the paperwork, expecta-tions, and other information that is pertinent for a student-ath-lete at Duxbury High School will be given on that date. There will be a question and answer session at the end of the meeting to go over any unresolved questions concerning your child’s athletic endeavors at Duxbury High School. This introduction meeting is by no means mandatory, but will aide in answering several of the questions that often come up when your child is a participant in interscholastic athletics.

Monday, Aug. 23 - First day of football practiceThursday, Aug. 26 - First possible date of all other fall

practices and tryouts.

They haven’t lost in over a month and every night it’s a different hero.

Wins over Marshfield (2-1), Hingham (5-3), and Sci-tuate (12-7) to end the regular season extended the Dragons’ winning streak to 14 games as the playoffs near, and there doesn’t seem to be any let-up in sight.

Senior Jeff Blout was the hero on Monday, as he con-tinues to mesmerize opposing hitters, going seven innings, striking out 11 and limiting the Rams to four hits.

Tom Guilfoile and Tom Kazanowski were responsible

for the runs on a bases loaded walk and a fielder’s choice.

Brother Steve Blout took home the honors on Tuesday afternoon in Hingham, as the Dragons rode his complete-game effort to a victory in the title clinching game against the Harbormen.

Joining Blout as the star of the game was senior Pat McWilliams, who blasted a home run and double for two RBI to lead the offense.

Dragon baseball captures Keenan Division title

Many people have travelled to Whitman-Hanson and their turf field for various events over the past few years. On the scoreboard

side of their field, the school has erected a statue of a black panther, Whitman-Hanson’s mascot. Beneath the panther is a plaque in memory of a coach and athlete who gradu-ated from Whitman-Hanson in the mid 60’s: Dennis M. O’Brien.

O.B. was a star athlete, playing a big role in state cham-pionship football and baseball teams while in high school. He then moved on to play football at Northeastern. After graduation, he returned to his alma mater as a business teacher and coach. He brought back a tradition from North-eastern similar to one seen at Clemson. At Clemson foot-ball teams “pat the rock” before charging on to the field. At Whitman-Hanson they “pat the panther” with every player patting the nose of the statue before running on to the field.

If one looks a little closer at the plaque, her or she would notice that O’Brien’s coaching career lasted less then 10 years. Tragically, on Sept. 12, 1978 he died, struck by lightning while on the field coaching the sport he loved. While Dennis was attempting to clear the football team off of the field, a bolt struck the ground and then came back out through him, killing him instantly. The blast of elec-trical energy also sent almost 20 players to the hospital. The threat of lightning should not be taken lightly. Sports played in open fields are high risks for strikes. The Jona-than Taylor scoreboard, located behind the Duxbury Free Library, has been struck at least three times in the past six years alone.

The National Federation of High Schools, as well as several other associations that deal with youth sports, has implemented policies for lightning safety. Thunder and lightning necessitates that contests and practices be sus-pended. The occurrence of thunder and/or lightning should not be subject to interpretation or discussion - thunder is thunder, lightning is lightning. When thunder is heard and/or when lightning is seen, the following procedures should be adhered to:

a) Suspend play and direct participants to go to a shelter, a building normally occupied by the public, or if a building is unavailable, participants should go inside a vehicle with a solid metal top (e.g. bus, van, car).

b) Do not permit people to stand under or near a tree; and have all stay away from poles, antennas, towers and underground watering systems.

c) After thunder and/or lightning has left the area, wait 30 minutes after the last boom is heard or strike is seen before resuming play or competition.

People who are paid to predict the weather often make mistakes. When faced with a situation where questionable weather is predicted always use caution and common sense.

Lightning safety is important
