Five years ago, Tina Pierdinock, with three children now

entering tweenage, yearned for a career again. The Duxbury mother looked to what she knew best: landscape de-

sign. With a dual degree in

landscape architecture and environmental planning from Rutgers University and previ-ous work experience in New Jersey, Pierdinock launched her company, Greenscape De-signs.

“It’s a flexible career, which allows me to stay lo-cal,” says Pierdinock, “but what I really enjoy most is working closely with families.

The herring are coming back to Is-land Creek Pond.

Admittedly, it’s not in droves. Spotters at the Island Creek fish ladder last year only counted a handful of the small silvery fish mak-ing their way back to their spawning grounds in Island Creek Pond, off Tobey Gar-den Street.

Town officials believe this may be the year large numbers of her-ring start using the Tremont Street fish ladder to return to their spawning grounds at Island Creek Pond.

This week, Duxbury se-lectmen voted unanimously to waive the rental fee for the farmers market to use the grounds at the Tarkiln Com-munity Center this summer.

In February, selectmen set new fees for renting both the interior and the exterior of Tarkiln in anticipation of its re-opening at the end of the summer. These fees have yet to go into effect as Tarkiln has been closed since 2006; it is

currently undergoing an inte-rior restoration, made possible through Community Preser-vation Act funds, private do-nations, and volunteer help. The old school, which dates to 1871, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

DUXFARM organizer Laura Doherty objected to the exterior rental fee at the select-men’s meeting Monday night for many reasons.

By Justin GraeBer, Clipper eDitor [email protected]

After Dick Hoyt had pushed his son Rick, who was diagnosed with cerebral palsy at birth, through a charity race in a wheelchair, he felt beat up and exhausted. But after the race, Rick, who speaks through a special computer, told him that when he was running, he didn’t feel disabled anymore.

So Dick kept running.That was many years ago,

and now the father/son team has participated in over 1,024 athletic events over a 30 year period, including the Iron Man Triathlon and the Boston Mar-athon.

The Hoyts spoke to mem-bers of Duxbury’s Special Ed-ucation PAC at the Performing Arts Center last Thursday eve-ning.

When Rick was born, his umbilical cord was wrapped around his neck, cutting off the airflow and leaving him unable to walk or speak, his father said. Many doctors had consigned Rick to the life of a vegetable. But his family thought differently.

“We could tell by looking in his eyes that he was very bright,” said Dick.

The Hoyts brough their son to a team of engineers at Tufts University, looking to create a way for Rick to communicate with the outside world. Al-though initially skeptical, the engineers became believers when they saw Rick laugh at a joke. They eventually built him a computer called the “TIC,” which stands for Tufts Interactive Communicator. Rick’s first words typed into the machine were “Go Bru-ins,” forshadowing his love of sports.

When Rick was 18, he heard about a young man from his high school who had been paralyzed in a college lacrosse game. A charity race was be-ing organized in his honor, and Rick wanted to participate.

“I felt this was something I had to do. I wanted to show him that life goes on,” Rick

told the audience, through the TIC computer.

The pair ran the race, with Dick pushing Rick’s wheel-chair for the five kilometers.

They came in second to last, and as Dick points out with pride, they’ve never come in last in any race they’ve par-ticipated in.

Later, the Hoyts had a special wheelchair designed to make running easier. They first ran the Boston Marathon in 1981, although they weren’t official participants until sev-eral years later. Rick says the Boston Marathon is his favor-ite race, and if the pair ever has to scale back their run-ning, that’s the one event he’d like to stick with.

Rick also wanted to further his education, and was the first quadriplegic to graduate from Boston University’s School of Education. He has the help of an aide, but for the most part completed the academic work himself.

“I wanted to be treated like any other student,” Rick said. “Believe me, I did not feel sor-ry for myself, so why should they?”

Although the Boston Mar-athon is the Hoyts’ favorite event, they have accomplished

many other impressive athlet-ic feats, including participat-ing in the Iron Man Triathlon and biking and running across the country in 1992. The trek involved 3,770 miles over 45 straight days, from Los Ange-les to Boston.

“Everybody that had done it before said it was impossi-ble, we thought the opposite,” said Dick Hoyt. “We thought we’d get stronger as we went, and we did.”

Dick is now 68 and Rick is 48. But they don’t show any signs of slowing down.

“We’re looking forward to another great year,” Dick Hoyt said. “Our message is: ‘yes, you can.’”

Trustees of The Par-tridge Academy in Duxbury recently

announced that $50,000 in scholarship aid will be award-ed this year to a group of grad-uating DHS students who will be attending college this fall. Including the Partridge Man-aged Fund awards that will also be announced this spring, total Partridge and Managed Fund scholarship aid and awards is expected to exceed $90,000 this year.

The application form for 2010 Partridge Fund scholar-ship awards is now available online through the DHS web-site on “Naviance” at duxbury.k12.ma.us/guidance.html. Ap-plications for the Partridge Fund scholarship grants and the individual Partridge Man-aged Fund awards are also available through the guidance office at the Duxbury High School.

Since 1927 the Trustees of Partridge Academy have been awarding scholarships to de-serving Duxbury High School seniors. The first scholarship granted was in the amount of $1,200 over 80 years ago. In the last 20 years, the Partridge

and Managed funds have granted more than $1 million in scholarship awards to suc-cessful candidates. To be eli-gible for consideration for this year’s Partridge Fund scholar-ship awards, candidates must have demonstrated the follow-ing qualities, including:

• An outstanding record of academic achievement – top 20 percent of class.

• A commitment to extra-curricular engagement, such as ongoing participation inside and outside of the classroom -- in activities such as art, clubs, music, and sports, as well as community involvement, work or a history of volunteer-ism.

• A demonstrated financial need.

• Students applying for a Partridge Fund scholarship will be asked to write a short (no more than 400 words) statement about themselves, which will help the Trustees with their decision.

This year, The Partridge Fund will present one four year continuing scholarship of $7,000/year, for a total award of $28,000. The fund will also grant four one-time scholar-

ship awards of $4,500 each. In addition to the four year continuing scholarship, and the four one-time scholarship grants, the Partridge Fund will also recognize the valedicto-rian and the top ranking male and female of the DHS gradu-ating class, through an award of $2,000 each.

Applications for the Par-tridge Fund scholarships must be received by Friday, April 23, and can be filled out on line at DHS or mailed to the following address:

The Trustees of the Par-tridge Academy, P.O. Box 2552, Duxbury, MA 02331.

The announcement of the awardees will be made at the Duxbury High School Awards Night on Wednesday, June 2, and the check presentations will be made at a special re-ception for students and their families, to be held at the Dux-bury Senior Center at 4 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 5.

A Brockton newspaper deliveryman who offered a Duxbury woman a ride found himself forced to drive around for close to an hour after the woman reportedly pulled a knife on him when he told her not to smoke crack in his car.

The 19-year-old male told police he picked up the woman, Sheryl R. Maass, 42, of Lake Shore Drive, Duxbury around 4:15 p.m. last Wednes-

day while delivering papers near the Halifax/Hanson town line. Maass asked the driver to take her to Birch Street, near the Pembroke/Duxbury line.

Once in the car, Maass allegedly began to smoke a white substance that police later confirmed was crack co-caine. When the driver told Maass she needed to get out of his car, she pulled a 3-1/2-inch black-handled folding knife out of her purse and threatened

him with it, according to re-ports.

Maass allegedly forced the man to drive around for more than an hour. The driver even-tually pulled into a dead-end street and was able to distract Maass and push her out of the vehicle, according to reports. The driver then asked neigh-bors for directions to the clos-est police station, which was in Pembroke.

Police picked up Maass about 15 minutes later, accord-ing to reports.

She was arrested and ar-raigned last Thursday in Plym-outh District Court, where she pled not guilty to charges of kidnapping, assault with a dangerous weapon and a sub-sequent offense of Class B drug possession. She was re-leased on $250 bail.

Maass is due back in court on May 10 for a probable cause hearing.

But it marks the first time fish have returned since the restoration project started several years ago, said Jon McGrath of the Duxbury Bay Management Commission.

“We feel this could be the year those fish come back,” he said.

The entire Island Creek system, at 45 acres, is the larg-est potential fishery in Dux-bury. Herring have been in the area since before the Pilgrims landed and some form of dams have been on Island Creek since colonial times. Island Creek provided herring as bait for the fishing industry in Duxbury’s early history. A fish ladder was built off Tremont in 1907 (updated in 1940) but became impassable once the ladder deteriorated. It was re-stored in 2007 after a two-year project that combined volun-teer labor from an Eagle Scout and Community Preservation Act money.

The plan involved replac-ing a deteriorated fish ladder located below Mill Pond off Tremont Street, and modify-ing a small dam erected below Island Creek Pond. Follow-ing a year of permitting and grant writing, during 2004, the commission believed it raised enough money, including $70,000 from the Community Preservation Act, to complete the project during the next year. Specifications for the new ladder were created with the help of several regional ex-perts, including Philips Brady, current director of the Mass.

Division of Marine Fisheries and Ken Reback, recognized herring expert and retired Herring Director Mass. Divi-sion of Marine Fisheries. Bids originally came in higher than the town would have liked, so a newly-appointed task force came up with a revamped plan and design, and the project moved forward. The new fish ladder off Tremont Street was installed in pieces, and a sec-ond “step” was created at the Elm Street site.

McGrath was chairman of a subcommittee that worked on the project. He said Island Creek was the perfect location for a small-scale restoration project.

“It’s a very high quality system. It’s a great model,” he said. “The reason why we got going is we got organized ... It’s a small enough system that it didn’t take a huge project to address it.”

About three years ago, the state started stocking Is-land Creek Pond with fish, which eventually head down the river and out to sea. But, like the salmon of the Pacific Northwest, the herring return to their birthplace to spawn. However, unlike salmon the herring cannot jump, but must swim through a continuous stream of water, so the poor condition of the ladder likely kept the fish from returning to their home pond.

In addition to herring, the creek also contains smelt and American eels.

It can take three-four years for the fish to return, but once the cycle is established, the herring return every year, McGrath said. A healthy her-ring population is a sign of a flourishing ecosystem.

“My understanding is that it’s at the bottom of the food chain,” McGrath said. “It’s a food source for almost every-thing about it.”

The herring running sea-son is from April 1-June 15, although McGrath said there are some signs the fish are moving early this year. Spot-ters have already seen fish in the Jones River. Once the mi-gration starts, it tends to hap-pen all at once, McGrath said,

over a matter of weeks.To track the fish, the town

is looking for volunteers who can spare even ten minutes of their time watching the river. Fish are counted once they reach the top step of the Trem-ont Street ladder.

“We’re sure there’s more fish in there, we can see them at the base of the ladder,” McGrath said.

The goal is to try to count 10 percent of the fish migra-tion, so the commission is looking to make at least nine daily observations of 10 min-utes each. At the Tremont Street site, people can park on the conservation land across from the ladder. At Elm Street, spotters can park on either side of the bridge. There is a log book provided.

Spotters should also note the temperature of the water. If the thermometer isn’t in the ladder or the pool, check the cooler. There are two types of herring: Alewifes, which spawn when the temperature reaches 51º, and blueback her-ring, which spawn when the mercury hits 57º. At Tremont Street, spotters should also check the water height by looking at how many inches the water is above the top board.

The fish ladder runs from Island Creek Pond, seen here at the top of the map, down across Elm street and Tremont Street and out to sea. A recently completed project installed a second “step” dam at Elm Street (1) and renovated the existing fish ladder off Tremont Street (2) in the hopes of increasing migration.

1693: “The fishermen of Duxbury, shall clear Island Creek brook, that said, men shall have the liberty to get herring for bait from time to time.”

1736: Justice Arnold and Thomas Loring cleared the Mill brook and Island Creek brook, to make them more convenient and passable for herring. They then brought an account of their work to the next town meeting.

1877: David Cushman became Fish Commissioner. Cobb & Drew and Alonzo Chandler R.R. Holmes were paid by the town to stock Island Creek Pond with alewives and salm-on.

1908: Selectmen choose a committee to protect the interests of the town with regard to the herring way.

1945: Voted to raise and appropriate the sum of $200 for necessary repairs to the fish ladder at Cushing’s Ice Pond, including the approach-es to Island Creek Pond.

2007: Signage constructed and educational information posted at the Island Creek Pond as part of Chad Conway’s Eagle Scout project.

markets in other communities and found that most were lo-cated on town or state land and none paid any rental fees to use these properties. She noted that a new market will open on town-owned land in Pem-broke this summer and won’t be charged a fee. Duxbury’s farmers market will begin its second year at Tarkiln in June. It operates Wednesdays from 12:30 - 4:30 p.m.

Doherty said that one of the goals of the farmer’s mar-ket is to support Duxbury’s agricultural groups and en-courage small local farmers and gardeners to participate in bringing healthful food to the public. She used the examples of a Duxbury high school boy who secured a spot at the mar-ket to sell his home-grown

blueberries, a DMS student who sold her hand-made clay creations and a senior citizen whose flowers and vegetables had sold out before the market closed for the day.

“In order to support and encourage people like these we keep our rates low but with these fees we’ll definitely have to raise our rates,” Doherty said. “I’m afraid these people would find it impossible to re-turn.”

The rental fees to use either of the two halls or the kitchen at Tarkiln will cost $35 for the first three hours and $10 an hour for each additional hour. Rental of the entire building is $105 for a three-hour minimum and $30 an hour thereafter. The same fees apply to rent-ing the exterior of the building for events. The previous rental rate at Tarkiln was $4 an hour.

Doherty felt that pay-ing the same rate for both the outside and the inside use of Tarkiln wasn’t fair. She said that anyone renting the inside would not have to deal with bad weather and had the ben-efit of using bathrooms, fur-nishings, water and electricity, while the market had none of those amenities.

“It’s not that we don’t want to contribute to the town, we’ve actually discussed it at our board meetings, but we need to be established and we’re not quite there yet,” said Doherty.

Fiscal Advisory Commit-tee chairman Frank Mangione said his committee proposed the exterior rental fees because they were told that a craft fair organizer had expressed inter-est in using both the outside and inside of Tarkiln. With his past experience in running an-tique fairs, Mangione said he knows how much wear and tear grounds can take with this type of use and felt there should be some revenue com-ing back to the town to offset exterior maintenance.

“We felt it was important to establish a fee,” said Man-gione.

Erin Carpenter of DUX-FARM said there was a big difference between a craft fair and the farmer’s market.

“For one craft fair, the fee is not very much, but we are there for sixteen weeks,” said Carpenter.

Doherty said the market or-ganizers “were very protective of the green area” at Tarkiln.

Selectmen Chairman Shawn Dahlen noted that the town doesn’t have a consis-tent policy on renting its green spaces. He pointed out that the town often doesn’t charge non-profits for using the Millenni-um town green on Washington Street.

“We need a better town-wide policy and we need to ap-ply it uniformly,” said Dahlen.

Mangione agreed, saying the Fiscal Advisory Commit-tee was currently trying to cre-ate a uniform rental policy for town buildings and would also be looking at crafting a policy for using town land.

• Voted unanimously to autho-rize Town Manager Richard MacDonald to apply for a grant to pay for a consultant who will perform a feasibil-ity study for a wind turbine in Duxbury. At the recommenda-tion of the Alternative Energy Committee, MacDonald will ask the Department of Energy Resources to designate Duxbury as a Green Community, allow-ing the town access to grant money. The consultant’s fee could total as much as $85,000. To be eligible for this designa-tion, Duxbury must commit to reducing its energy consump-tion by 20 percent within five years. Selectmen also wanted MacDonald to make sure that Alternative Energy Committee will adhere to state bidding laws when choosing a con-sultant.

• Learned that Senator John Kerry has written a letter to the Department of Homeland Security on behalf of Duxbury Harbormaster Don Beers to support his application for security grant funding. Beers has applied for three security-related items for Duxbury: a bay-wide IP-based video sur-veillance system, a 25-ft boat, and mobile thermal imaging equipment.

• Agreed to reconsider their vote on forbidding non-Dux-

bury businesses to sell trans-fer station trash bags. Newly-elected Selectmen Chairman Shawn Dahlen said he has been approached by many resi-dents who are unhappy that the blue Duxbury trashbags will no longer be sold at out-of-town grocery stores starting May 1. In January, selectmen voted to limit trashbag sales to in-town stores as a way to support local businesses, which make no money on selling bags but sell them as a courtesy to the town and a convenience to res-idents. Selectmen may discuss this topic at their next meeting April 26.

• Learned that the town plans to consolidate trash and ele-vator contracts for town and school buildings.

• Proclaimed April 30 as Arbor Day to be observed with cer-emonies at Chandler School at 2:30 p.m.

• Announced that veterans can take part in a “dial-a-lawyer” program to obtain free legal advice on Thursday, April 29 from 5:30-7:30 p.m. Veterans or their families with legal questions on access to ben-efits, employment concerns or other issues should call 617-338-0610.

Girl Scout newsLeaders’ Meeting: There will be a meeting for all Duxbury

Girl Scout leaders on Wednesday, May 5, at the Scout House from 7:30-9 p.m. This meeting will focus on the beach cookout, bridging, and the Memorial Day weekend events. We will have the Sweetheart Dance photos ready to be picked up and hope to have cookie awards for leaders and registration materials avail-able at that time. We will also be discussing the upcoming year and would like to have input from all our troops/levels. Please mark the date on your calendar and plan to have a representative from your troop attend.

TLC Backpacks: The backpacks have arrived and are ready to be picked up along with a list of items to place inside them. Please call Joan to arrange to get your backpack if you have signed up to participate. They should be returned to Joan by May 21.

Friendship Bracelets: Many thanks from the members of Cadette Troop 80331 to Troops 80159, 80485, and 80581 and 80667 for contributing to this project. In all nearly 500 Friend-ship Bracelets are being shipped to Roots to Shoots, a Jane Goodall Foundation organization. They will arrange for them to be shipped to Haiti and distributed to the children.

Water Everywhere: Twenty-four Brownie and bridging Daisy Scouts gathered at Holy Family Church last Saturday for an evening of exploring the water around us and how we can protect it. The girls started by identifying objects we see at the beach that can be recycled or should be discarded and the vari-ous wildlife at the beach. They also studied the effects of wa-ter run-off on fresh and salt water areas and the harmful effects from an oil spill on wildlife. Microscopes were set up to allow them to look at samples of local beach, pond and bog water. And, they learned about the difference in salt and fresh water through experiments led by the Cadettes. Make-your-own sun-daes were enjoyed by all as they watched a Magic School Bus movie about water. The evening concluded with the traditional Friendship Circle and the presentation of the Water Everywhere Try-it to the attendees. A great time was had by both the Ca-dettes and their guests.

Mill Tour: Junior Troop 80970 visited the Jenney Grist Mill in Plymouth recently. The owner gave the girls an entertaining and educational tour which encompassed a walk down to the water, up Lyons Street and, of course the Mill itself. The girls bought ice cream at the on site ice cream shop after the tour.

Brownies and Daisies who attended the Water Everywhere Try-it program last Saturday pose for a photo at the end of the evening with members of Cadette Troop 80331, who sponsored the evening of fun water related activities.

John D. Bruce, died on April 7 in Rockport at the age of 78 due to com-plications from lung cancer.

Mr. Bruce was born in Portland, Maine, the son of Frances and Doug-las Bruce. His family later moved to New-ton.

with exterior envelope problems with leakage or deterioration of institutional buildings such as universities, churches, hospitals, libraries and other such historic buildings.

In 1998, Mr. Bruce married Millicent Jen-ness. In 2000, the couple retired and moved to Rockport, where he was an active volunteer at the library, a member of the Rockport Building Study Committee, Rockport Music and partici-pated in the Chamber of Commerce town ac-tivities.

Is having nearly 70%* of all bank deposits in our nation controlled by a few large financial

institutions really good for our nation’s economy – or security?

Given what we know now, how manyAmericans think that the creation of “too-big-to-fail” mega banks is good for anyone other than fat cats on Wall Street?

For those of you who have been “merged”into banking with an institution that doesn’t

know you and takes you for granted, considercoming home to a local bank that cares about

A break from the ordinary

By miChelle Conway, Clipper Columnist [email protected].

It will come as no surprise that I love food! I read cook books for fun, find grocery shopping interesting and enjoy spending time in the kitchen preparing a meal.

When I was younger, I had the naive notion that when I had a family I would have the luxury of exploring different cuisines and perhaps cooking all the recipes in each month’s Food and Wine magazine. My reality is very far from the vision of my youth. Like everyone, I am busy. My love of interesting food is put on the back burner to the needs and wants of my family and my hectic lifestyle. Most nights I do what I call “triage cooking” – quick fire cooking to get nutritious, interest-ing food on the table that won’t blow the budget or offend the palates of my children. My husband, God bless him, has only one food foible – no coleslaw –he happily enjoys anything I cook; now you know why I married him.

Tonight, I will slide down the rabbit hole and escape my day-to-day food life and spend the evening dining (yes, din-ing) in luxury surrounded by people who savor each morsel of gourmet food as much as I do. I will be attending the Annual Dinner for Les Dames d’Escoffier; a nationwide organization for women in the food and hospitality industry. In addition to spending our time at events centered on food, Les Dames awards scholarships to young women with promising futures in the culinary industry.

This evening, guests elegantly dressed in formal attire will gather at the Parker House Hotel to celebrate the 50th anni-versary of the founding of the Boston chapter of Les Dames d’Escoffier. The menu will replicate the exact eight course din-ner served 50 years ago at the same hotel. It is a magical night and I will write more about the experience in my next article.

Les Dames d’Escoffier is an organization formed in honor of the great French chef Auguste Escoffier. Born in 1846, he began his culinary career at the age of 13 when he apprenticed in his uncle’s restaurant in Nice. For the bulk of his illustrious career, he was the chef de cuisine at the Savoy Hotel in Lon-don, the Hotel Ritz in Paris, and the Carlton Hotel in London, all of which were owned by the Ritz Development Corpora-tion. He created the methods and organizational systems still used today in restaurant and hotel kitchens throughout the world. What we take for granted, Auguste Escoffier created brick by brick a century ago.

The book “Auguste Escoffier; Memories of My Life” translated by Laurence Escoffier (1997, Van Nostrand Rein-hold) tells the story of Escoffier’s remarkable life in his own words and includes recipes for his many groundbreaking dish-es, photographs of the hotels and menus for meals he served to the illustrious people of his era.

Tonight, I will don my finest clothes and step back in time to Escoffier’s world of fine French food, elegance and convivi-ality and in two weeks, I will share my joy in this delightful evening with you.

Tidbit: Don’t forget to visit the Indoor Farmers Market at Plimouth Plantation on Thursday, April 15. Perhaps the unusu-ally warm weather will offer up the first burst of local produce. Fiddleheads, Asparagus, Rhubarb, Snow Peas and Boston Let-tuce….probably too soon, but hope springs eternal.

Police, in a joint operation between several towns and the FBI Bank Robbery Task Force, have arrested a man believed to be responsible for the April 2 robbery at Eastern Bank in Hall’s Corner.

On Friday afternoon, April 9, police from Braintree, Dux-bury, Framingham, Salem, NH and the FBI Bank Robbery Task Force arrested a Glenn J. Legere, 31, of Rockland in Framingham in connection with four bank robberies in Braintree, Duxbury, Hanover and Plymouth. Detectives lo-

cated Legere at the Framing-ham home of a relative and placed him under arrest, ac-cording to Braintree Deputy Police Chief Russ Jenkins. Various items of clothing, believed worn during some of the robberies, were seized from the home.

At approximately 4:15 p.m. on April 2, Duxbury po-lice received a report of a bank robbery at the Eastern Bank on Depot Street. Responding of-ficers discovered that a white male had entered the bank and showed a teller a note de-manding money, according to a press release from Chief Ste-phen Doherty.

Police believed the man to be connected to several other area robberies, including a March 21 hold-up at a bank in Braintree. That robbery occurred at around the same time of day, and also did not involve a weapon, according to Jenkins.

Police in Salem, NH are also investigating Legere, for a bank robbery in their com-munity, and he continues to be a suspect in other South Shore bank robberies including the March 27 Bank of America robbery at the South Shore Plaza, Jenkins said. Legere was being held at the Braintree Police station on $15,000 bail

prior to his arraignment.In Duxbury, Det. Sgt. Den-

nis Symmonds and Det. Den-nis McKenney obtained the warrant for unarmed robbery and larceny over $250 after a brief investigation. Legere was arraignes in several courts on similar charges on Monday.

Glenn J. Legere, 31, of Rockland, was arrested Friday in connec-tion with last weekend’s robbery at Eastern Bank. He is also being charged with similar robberies in other communities includ-ing Braintree, Hanover and Plymouth.

Please join us in mourning the loss of our colleague and friend, Helen Schug. Her sunny smile and bright spirit lit up our office

and contributed to her many years of success during her real estate career. Over the years Helen introduced many families to Duxbury

and the South Shore and was a highly respected professional. She will be truly missed by all.

In Remembrance


I get so much satisfaction from seeing them happy with the fi-nal product and enjoying their property more.”

Not every landscape de-signer is also a landscape ar-chitect. Pierdinock believes the distinction gives her a slight edge over her competi-tion. She also sites her previ-ous work experience as a proj-ect coordinator for a large real estate firm back in the 80’s as an important stepping stone.

“I have experience in overseeing large projects, and I am able to determine what is necessary to get them done on time and within budget while still maintaining the best qual-ity control,” she said.

Prior to moving to Dux-bury, Pierdinock had a five year volunteer stint on the Hol-liston planning board, which included chairing it for two years. “It was a lot of work and coordination of many people, but that experience helps me every day in my daily work,” she said. “If I need to check on town ordinances, for exam-ple, I’m very familiar with the process and applying it to my client’s landscape project.”

The Duxbury mother isn’t relying solely on her earlier degree and work experience to grow Greenscape Designs. After attending an extensive course and passing a rigorous exam, Pierdinock is now one of only 400 individuals within 17 states who is an Accred-ited Organic Land Care Pro-fessional with the Northeast Organic Farming Association (“NOFA”). To maintain her accreditation, she must attend continuing education yearly and abide by organic land care in accordance with NOFA’s standards and practices for the design and maintenance of ecological landscapes. “Sus-tainability and organic land care go hand and hand,” she said. “I believe in designing natural landscapes to replicate nature which will help with the sustainability of our earth.”

Today, Greenscapes De-signs serves Duxbury and sur-rounding South Shore com-munities, and its customer base comprises 90 percent res-

idential and 10 percent com-mercial design work. “Every job is different though,” said Pierdinock. “Some people want pools or a waterscape, some want an outdoor living space, while others are look-ing to increase their property’s curb appeal.” Clients also hire her to resolve deer prob-lems. “There is nothing that is completely deer proof when it comes to plant materials,” adds Pierdinock, “but I can recommend vegetation that is less preferred by deer.”

Most clients come from word of mouth. “The great thing about living in Dux-bury,” she says, “is residents here tend to hire local compa-nies.” Pierdinock also works in conjunction with different landscape firms who install her designs. In other cases, Greenscape Designs recom-mends the landscape contrac-tor. “It’s about equal on who brings who to the table right now,” she said. “But I typi-cally do the project oversight plus design work, and I hand select all of the plant materi-als to ensure their quality and health.”

Pierdinock works with out-door lighting specialists, wet land experts, arborists and wa-terscape professionals to pro-vide landscape design work for their customers as well. She is also marketing her expertise to homeowners and buyers of real estate. “I can help some-one looking to buy a property by evaluating the land for de-velopment and advising them on the most suitable location to achieve their outdoor living space, pool installation etc. before they make the invest-

ment,” she said. People planning to list

their homes can hire Green-scape Designs to advise them on how to create greater curb appeal. “There are a number of studies which show that quality landscaping can add as much as 15 percent to the resale value of a building and speed up the sales time,” said Pierdinock.

Ask this landscape archi-tect what her greatest challenge was in 2009, and her response is no surprise to local business owners: The Economy. “I had the same number of clients this year, but the scope of the work was less,” she says. “I’m hopeful though that it will pick up in 2010.”

This spring, Pierdinock plans to give back to the com-munity she enjoys working for by participating in Hope in Bloom, a Massachusetts nonprofit organization which plants gardens pro-bono at the homes of those undergoing breast cancer treatment. She will design up to a 12’ x 12’ outdoor garden for the family. “I’ve always loved the creativ-ity my career affords me so the fact that I can now bring a sparkle to someone’s life through a beautiful garden ap-peals to me,” said Pierdinock. “I’m an artist at heart.”

Pathways To Health In this era of escalating health costs, it is preferable to maintain health than to ignore it and risk a health crisis. In accepting respon-sibility for one’s own health, there has been a decided shift toward increased exercise, improved di-etary habits and stress reduction. As the world’s oldest, drug-free healing profession, chiropractic en-courages this natural approach. By eliminating restrictions on the flow of nerve energy as is courses through the spinal column on its way to vir-tually every area of the body, the doctor of chiropractic hopes to free the body’s natural recuperative powers. The more the public knows about the chiropraoctic approach to maintaining health, the better it can make informed decisions about everyone’s number one pri-ority – good health.

LALONDE CHIROPRACTIC SPINE CENTER OF NEW ENGLAND welc-mes the readers of the Duxbury Clip-per to our weekly column. After a hiatus of some years, many requests have been brought to me back to write columns on health and chiro-practic. Please call (781) 934-0943 to schedule an appointment for the highest-quality and most per-sonalized chiropractic care. We’re conveniently located at 42 Tremont St., Suite 10B (Rt 3A at Rt 3). Find re-lief from chronic pain, sports injuries, or stress, and improve your overall health with Cox Technic that works with the body’s natural design to aid it in healing. P.S. Nerve energy, emanating from the brain either directly or in-directly, controls every organ and function in the body.

Wisdom works focuses on older job seeker

Responding to the needs and concerns of the community’s senior citizens is the mission of the Duxbury Council on Aging. Even before the current economic turmoil, the council saw signs that seniors will need to work longer, retire later and require more financial resources to fund additional retirement years due to increases in longevity.

To meet this need, the COA will offer a program called Wis-dom Works. Job seekers age 55 or older, who are or will be looking for work, can participate in this program. The series of four employment workshops will be facilitated by trained pro-fessionals. These professionals will facilitate the workshops de-veloped by Keystone Associates, a premier outplacement firm in Burlington.

The four week workshops will begin Thursday, May 6 and end Thursday, May 27 from 5-7 p.m. Topics include “Look-ing Back…What’s Next” (skills assessment)—May 6; “Get-ting Started” (resume/cover letter)—May 13; “Job Search Strategies”—May 20; “Interviewing” and “Research and Tech-nology” (learning how to navigate the Internet)—May 27.

Each session will be held at the Duxbury Senior Center. There is a registration fee of $10 per person. Participants must attend all four sessions. To register call 781-934-5774 x102.


With a couple fresh faces on the School Commit-

tee and a new school superin-tendent to follow, we are cross-ing over to a new era during which we’ll all surely be a bit wiser in how we go about our school-related business. Yet, I’d like to comment briefly on another entirely different type of “crossover” that is already taking place at the schools.

For the past 10 years I’ve driven to and from Chandler School on a daily basis with children who’ve moved up through the ranks. Over that time I’ve watched with varying degrees of approval and disap-proval the many attempts that have been made at how to best handle all the traffic that flows in and out of the school through

its three entrances. However, this year I noticed something different. I don’t know her last name, but her first is Pam.

One morning around 9 a.m., while sitting in a line of cars piled up on Chandler Street and feeling frustrated with the gridlock, I noticed one person working very, very hard to make it all work. As I watched

from the comfort of my car, I witnessed the “crossing guard” not only putting in great care and effort to manage a chal-lenging situation, but who is also clearly very good at what she does. Almost instantly, my frustration turned to apprecia-tion.

The taxman cometh

T his Thursday, April 15, is the deadline for Americans to file their federal and state tax returns (although some residents of Plymouth County

may be taking advantage of an extension due to the recent flooding). It’s a day that causes gray hairs across the nation as people scramble to understand the constantly-fluctuating tax code or give up and take shoeboxes of receipts to a professional. But rather than grumble about government, we thought we’d take the opportunity to lighten up the week with some favorite quotes about taxes.

Taxation with representation ain’t so hot either. –– Gerald Barzan

If you make any money, the government shoves you in the creek once a year with it in your pockets, and all that don’t get wet you can keep. –– Will Rogers

We have long had death and taxes as the two standards of inevitability. But there are those who believe that death is the preferable of the two. “At least,” as one man said, “there’s one advantage about death; it doesn’t get worse every time Congress meets.” –– Erwin N. Griswold

Indoors or out, no one relaxes in March, that month of wind and taxes, the wind will presently disappear, the taxes last us all the year. –– Ogden Nash

Income tax returns are the most imaginative fiction being written today. –– Herman Wouk

I’m proud to pay taxes in the United States; the only thing is, I could be just as proud for half the money. –– Arthur Godfrey

When there’s a single thief, it’s robbery. When there are a thousand thieves, it’s taxation. –– Vanya Cohen

We contend that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle. –– Winston Churchill

The only difference between a tax man and a taxidermist is that the taxidermist leaves the skin. –– Mark Twain

This [preparing my tax return] is too difficult for a mathematician. It takes a philosopher. –– Albert Einstein

A fine is a tax for doing wrong. A tax is a fine for doing something right. –– Unknown

“People who complain about taxes can be divided into two classes: men and women.” –– Unknown

“Next to being shot at and missed, nothing is really quite as satisfying as an income tax refund.” — F. J. Raymond, humorist

The Duxbury Special Education Parent Advisory Council

would like to thank everyone who attended our Team Hoyt “Yes You Can” event at the Duxbury Performing Arts Cen-ter on Thursday, April 8. Lis-tening to Dick and Rick pres-ent their amazing journey and how they overcame the many challenges they faced was truly

inspiring. Our sincerest thanks goes out Dick and Rick Hoyt, Dr. Eric Rightmire of Plymouth Bay Orthopedic Associates, Welch & Donohoe, LLP, Go Big Boarding, Kingsbury Club, Lighthouse Fitness, Reed Jew-elers, Westwinds, Tony Kelso, Darin MacFarlane, the many volunteers, and especially the Best Buddies from DHS. The SEPAC’s goal is to provide

events not only to benefit our special needs population, but also to provide events inclusive of the whole community. We could not have accomplished this goal without our commu-nity’s involvement.

Because of the de-crease in participa-tion in the school

lunch program and the increas-ing high cost of health insur-ance for the staff, the Duxbury Public Schools have been re-searching privatization for caf-eterias as an answer to escape the fiscal burden.

Much attention has been brought upon the Duxbury schools’ lunch program this past year, focused primarily on the lost hours for the cafeteria workers and the loss and even-tual restoration of their ben-efits. But there is another inter-ested party in Duxbury, beyond the cafeteria workers, the Dux-bury Healthy Kids Initiative.

The Duxbury Healthy Kids Initiative is a growing number of parents (including doctors,

nurses, health experts, and dentists) who are motivated to create a healthy eating environ-ment for our children, not only at home but in the schools. The current focus of the group is to inform and encourage par-ents with children of all ages on the impact of the cafeteria change. This unique crossroads that the School Committee is facing can allow for the town to improve the offerings in the cafeterias and make guidelines for the future.

Today’s generation of chil-dren could be the first to die at a younger age than their parents, due to obesity-related bad health. And many stud-ies have shown that chemicals in food may be contributing to the growing number of dis-eases, such as pediatric can-

cers, auto-immune disorders, and attention-deficit disorders. More and more families are packing lunches for their chil-dren to avoid over-exposure to these types of foods. Parents appreciate healthy options in the schools such as freshly pre-pared meals. Moving into the future, however, the key to suc-cess is also removing unhealthy options.

The Duxbury Healthy Kids Initiative can be reached at [email protected].

On Wednesday, April 14, at 7 p.m., at Alden School, room 104 the School Committee will review vendor recommenda-tions for the school-wide caf-eterias.

The Duxbury Health Kids Initiative

Come be heard on lunch privatization issue

Crossing over at the schools ———————

It is encouraging to read that our new selectman wants to hold a summit

workshop of the several boards and committees to set goals for the town needed to address the major economic issues of the near future. Although Betsy Sullivan mentioned that previ-ous attempts had been unfruit-ful, perhaps the focus of this effort should be on the “how” instead of the “what.” We recog-nize that Duxbury is a commu-nity of wants. Its residents want

good schools, a great beach, a rural atmosphere, to protect our aquifer and lots of open space. One thing they don’t want is to pay the taxes needed to support these wants.

With the potential of rising costs of contractual wages and benefits, the overdue costs of deferred maintenance, and the needs for major capital expan-sions, it is the time for all to make major concessions to pay for our needs. Let’s hope our town leaders are able to priori-

tize the wants and be willing to compromise and cooperate to-ward a common goal.

If they move forward with this proposal, they should make all dealings transparent. It is es-sential that the public be aware of all issues and the conse-quences of all choices. Other-wise, a sense of doubt will pre-vail and the belief that all was decided in secret and in a “back room” will prevail.

New news. Who knew?

By John Britten

I don’t know how many of you have noticed, but Katie Couric may single-handedly be responsible for what is destined to be the most revolutionary change in the

history of journalism. OK, maybe there is a little hyperbole in that statement and Katie “the Cutie” Couric probably didn’t come up with the idea all by her lonesome, but nevertheless she is the one that introduced me to this new form of television journalism.

The background: for the first time yesterday morning, I’m watching the CBS television show, Good Morning America and at exactly 8:05 a.m. Couric previewed the news for her 6:30 p.m. newscast. Let me repeat. At 8:05 a.m. in the morning, Katie “Legs” Couric knew what news she was going to report that night! Apparently, this is a daily feature on CBS and the amazing thing is that none of her fellow CBSers seemed surprised at this. They obviously are un-awed by this incredible gift of their fellow newscaster. Understand that this is not some Nostradamus clone dashing off enigmatic prognostications of cataclysmic events two centuries hence. Or even, the Obama administration’s Daedalus inspired 2014 budget divinations. This, folks, is Tom Werner’s former girlfriend telling us what’s going to happen in the next 10 hours!

This horoscopic approach to the news has not appeared to help boost the CBS evening news rating, which is quite simple to explain. Who wants to wait 10 hours to hear Katie repeat what they already heard? However, television networks have never been run by particularly bright people, but rather by people originally descended from lemmings. So, given the nature of broadcast news, you got a female anchor, we get a female anchor ... they are not about to be left out of the revolution.

NBC, for example, has just announced that beginning May 1, Brian Williams will be broadcasting his Tuesday newscast on Mondays. He will then proceed to broadcast each evening’s news one day early. ABC News has announced its new evening broadcast will be entitled, Next Month and Fox News has renamed its’ nightly news, News Today which will advance its outlook by ten years. Even the print media, wary of playing second banana, have joined the fray. The New York Times has replaced its slogan, All the News Fit to Print, with All the News Not Yet Printed.

I suspect that once this “new” news is in place, we won’t notice much difference. The competition for “exclusive” interviews with an exposed mistress or two or a re-habbed actor may intensify; coverage of newsworthy personages such as Kate Gosselin and Jesse James may increase; there may be expanded footage of Angelina or Madonna slogging through third world villages; and predictable comments from politicians, athletes and Wall Streeters will continue.

So, I doubt if any of this “new” journalism” will affect my viewing habits, so here’s a better idea. Why not have Katie announce the Wednesday Powerball number –– on Tuesday!

The All-Sports Tag Sale to benefit Cross-roads for Kids would

like to thank a few people in-volved in this great annual event. We would especially like to thank the Duxbury Clip-per for their generous publicity. Many buyers mentioned seeing your weekly coverage; and we know it made a big difference. Also, we are grateful to the Haffey and Vercollone families

for donating the location fee. The Senior Center is the perfect spot for this sale; and the staff there makes it so easy to set up and hold the event.

Finally, thanks to the nu-merous Duxbury families who donated and purchased so many terrific sports items, helping us raise over $3,400 which will pay for two kids to attend camp this coming summer. Whether it was a minnow trap or a pair of

nice skis, every donation helped in this town-wide effort for an excellent cause. For those of you unfamiliar with Crossroads for Kids, it is a camp for at-risk youth and an unbelievably well-run organization.

Please mark your calen-dars for the same weekend next year and save your used sports equipment for us to sell.

Tag sale a success ——————————

I have lived near the Lin-coln Street and Rt. 14 intersection for almost

20 years, so I have seen many things. But this week was a new one and it stuck with me. Therefore, I have written a special poem in honor of the “gentleman” I encountered this week:

My direction was south and yours was west,

But the driver before you came first.

He yielded to traffic, then did pass,

And what happened next was simply the worst.

I slowly edged into the cir-cle,

Since, of course, I was next.

What you did in the blink of an instant,

Is what had me very per-plexed.

You raced your car to block my path,

Just missing me by six inch-es.

You held up traffic for about a minute

To make sure I got your message.

All the while your finger was flapping,

Repeatedly pointing and furtive,

To the Yield sign behind my head;

Your manner was very as-

sertive.You see “kind” sir, you

were wrong, not I.You, too, had a red Yield

sign.I arrived before you and

was to your right,The right of way was clear-

ly mine.So I suggest you dust off

that manualAnd read those rules

again,Or the next person you an-

ger or nearly kill,Could very well be a

friend.Linda L. Garrity

I want to take a moment to sincerely thank the Duxbury Council on

Arts and the Massachusetts Cultural Council division known as “Big Yellow School Bus’ for generously awarding the Chandler PTA Creative Arts Division grant money. Be-cause of this funding, the first and second grade population of Chandler School were able

to take a field trip to the beau-tiful Duxbury Performing Arts Center where they were enter-tained by the New York City based production company “Theatreworks Productions.” The children were mesmer-ized by life-size puppets and colorful theatrical displays as the puppets wove moral-based tales from “Aesop’s Fables.” The show was a complete hit

with the kids! Every time I go to the PAC, it continues to re-mind me how fortunate we are to have this wonderful facility here in our town. Thank you, as well, to Tony Kelso from the PAC for coordinating this suc-cessful production with me.

Marty Kearns, Creative Arts Coordinator, Chandler PTA.

Aesop’s Fables a hit ——————————

We are writing this letter of thanks in response to the overwhelming support and concern we received after the recent robbery at our bank. The Duxbury

Police Department was exceptional in their response and follow up to the robbery. We appreciate their respect and concern for all of us. We also were very touched by the outpouring of care and concern from all of our customers in the community. We were again reminded how lucky we are to work in such a wonderful community. Thank you again!

Thanks for response to robbery

Ode to an angry driver —————————

By Carol langford

“Fear not. The Lord is with you.”/“When you walk in the Valley of the Shadow of Death,

fear no evil.”A person of faith

who can internalize these words gains immense strength and peace of mind. Its not easy. Even David, whose twen-ty-third Psalm so eloquently speaks to us through the ages, suffered doubts. In the twenty-second Psalm David la-ments, “My God, My God why have

you forsaken me?” These were the words echoed by Christ as he died on the cross.

Fear is a biologically useful instinct. Aware-ness of danger protects us from harm. Fear and anxiety can be helpful when caution and analy-sis are needed, but an overburden of fear is de-bilitating.

As a person’s faith and confidence deepens and a spiritual awareness awakens, the connec-tions to unseen forces lessen fear.

Following the commandment to love one another and trust in faith are themes that con-nect us as members of the Duxbury Interfaith Council.

In March, during her visit to Duxbury, Ra-zia Jan spoke of her life in Afghanistan. Vio-lence and uncertainty are all around her. She told us she sees the tragedies, but life goes on. She has a commute of 100 miles that takes 14 hours along terrible roads between her job with a rural women’s weaving collective and her fledgling girls’ school near Kabul. Razia is en-couraged by the light she sees in the eyes of the women and children she helps. Her energy and accomplishments are inspiring to all of us who feel blessed to know her. She shines as a Mus-lin woman with admirable faith and heavenly protection. She stands up to the local mullahs who do not see the need to educate girls. Every day she faces hatred and discrimination, and yet she appears fearless.

Many members of the Interfaith Council are involved with fearless pursuit of good works and taking on “impossible” tasks from Haiti to Uganda. We are fortunate in Duxbury to have many leaders and teachers who inspire learning and community compassion.

We can learn from members of other faith traditions and find common goals that inspire by example and courage.

Fear not, hope is among us. Ms. Landford is a Duxbury Interface Coun-

cil member from St. Johns’ Episcopal Church. Lights of Faith is a monthly series written for the Duxbury Clipper by members of the Dux-bury Interfaith Council. The views expressed are thoughts of the individual writer and do not necessarily reflect the views of the Council as a whole.

Duxbury Music Promoters member Lynn Marples was recently awarded the Massachusetts Music Educa-tors Association Advocate award. The following the

is the DHS music department’s nomination letter. -ED.Duxbury Public Schools Music Department nominates Lynn

Marples for the MMEA Advocate Award. Mr. Marples joined the Duxbury Music Promoters fifteen years ago when his third son Thomas entered Duxbury High School as a member of the Dragons Marching Band. During his seventeen plus years as a member of the board of directors for the Music Promoters and treasurer for the past thirteen years, Lynn has helped the mu-sic promoters group growth from a yearly fundraised budget of less than $2,000 per year to over $15,000 which supports all of the instrumental and choral students in grades 5 through 12 and scholarships to graduating seniors. In an organization where parents enter the group and often graduate with their stu-dents, Lynn has remained on the board even though his youngest daughter Sarah, a clarinet graduate of UMass, graduated high school in 2001.

Most of Lynn’s time on the board and work on behalf of the music students of Duxbury has not been as treasurer. Instead it has been in the thousands of hours Lynn has given to the students in the past twenty-one years. At almost every home football game with the marching band and pep band, Lynn is there help-ing move equipment out to the field before the game and back in after the game. He has been a chaperone on over 16 music trips all over the country, by planes, busses and even as the driver of the equipment truck all the way to Disney and back.

Lynn has brought water for the jazz band in the Fourth of July Parade each summer and has helped coordinate the Thanksgiv-ing Day breakfast for the Marshfield/Duxbury football games. He brought the concept of “Dinners for Duxbury” to the Music Promoters, which was their most profitable fundraiser for years. He greeted every person who came to the Haunted House and has set up the food for the Memorial Day Parade at the First Parish Church.

Music Promoters member Lynn Marples was recently awarded the MMEA Advocate award during the All State event at the Seaport Hotel in Boston.

I was shocked to hear of the controversial decision of the Boston Public Library trustees

to close seven branch libraries in order to meet their growing budget short-fall. It’s not my bailiwick, but it reminded me of how deeply I believe that the depth and power of a culture, a city, or a town is measured by the strength of its libraries. Measured? No, accom-plished by it.

One of the requirements (and one

of the challenges) of the move of the Duxbury Free Library from its beauti-ful but inadequate spaces in the old Wright Building to its beautiful and bigger spaces in the former Alden Upper Building was the Helen Bum-

pus Gallery. All general libraries have materials regarding the graphic arts, and many have art work available for patrons to check out like a book (ours did once). The Bumpus Gallery is dif-ferent. It’s a space devoted to a series of shows by local artists, with the works often for sale by the artist.

It’s been years since I covered a show at the Bumpus, and there’s an eye-catcher coming soon. The late Robert Burgess was a signature mem-ber of the New England Watercolor

By mike Halloran, sports editor [email protected]

Pick any kind of daredevil amusement ride and you’ll have a good idea of how the year has gone so far for the DHS girls’ lacrosse team. Up one min-ute and down the next, never knowing what lurks around the corner.

Since its season-opening bombardment (22-7) of Ha-nover and its annual drubbing at the hands of Division I pow-erhouse Westwood (18-8), the season has been mostly posi-tive when taking on league op-ponents. It’s the non-league games that seem to give the Lady Dragons and Coach Sue Paull their headaches.

A 16-3 win over Pem-broke, and an 18-7 thrashing of Quincy couldn’t have been any more convincing, but once the non-league schedule comes into play the Lady Dragons seem to lose their focus.

“The only real league chal-lenge for us is Hingham,” said Paull, after her squad suffered their second non-league loss of the year to Weston on Saturday, 15-12.

Weston wasted little time jumping on the Lady Dragons, as they grabbed a 1-0 lead just a minute into the game.

Less than three minutes lat-er Duxbury found themselves behind the eight ball, as Emma Dagres scored two of her six goals to give the visitors a 3-0 lead that forced Duxbury to call a timeout.

When play resumed the Lady Dragons did an about face, as they put Weston on the

defensive by tying the game at 3-3 on two Katie Griffin goals and a single tally by freshman Hannah Murphy in just over three minutes.

The back and forth nature of the game gave this reporter whiplash, as Weston went on the attack once again and tal-lied three goals in just over two minutes to take a 6-3 lead with Dagres scoring two more.

Griffin was Duxbury’s an-swer to Dagres, as she scored to slice the lead to 6-4 at the 9:37 mark, and was followed by Caitlin Burke’s tally that had them back within a goal with 7:36 left in the half.

Dagres couldn’t be stopped, as she scored her fifth of the half for a 7-5 lead. Nevertheless, the Dragons came right back when Keri Gould answered.

Both teams would score once again before the half end-ed, the second coming on Olivia McCarthy’s rush down the left

side that resulted in her beating Weston goalie Emily Gosman high over her shoulder.

Duxbury finally tied the game for the first time just over a minute into the second half, as Murphy took a feed from Siobhan McCarthy and buried her shot into the far corner.

Weston was adamant about not surrendering the lead, and took it back 42 seconds later.

Now trailing 9-8, Burke found an opening down the middle and tied the game once again at 9-9.

No matter how hard they tried, the Lady Dragons could not shake Weston, who surged ahead again at 10-9 with 18:55 to go in the game.

At the 17:10 mark Duxbury goaltender Sophie Fitzpatrick made a spectacular save on a free shot, hoping to swing mo-mentum in her team’s favor. It appeared to work for the next five minutes, as Weston was

kept off the board and Burke tied the game at 10.

With Duxbury’s hopes sky high, they were quickly dashed when Julia Marvel scored 13 seconds after the face-off to re-gain the lead at 11-10.

Duxbury continued to bat-tle back with Gould coming out from behind the net 37 seconds later to beat Gosman and tie the game, but it would be the last time the Lady Dragons had a chance to grab the lead, as Marvel scored again for a lead they would never relinquish.

Goals by Dagres and Grif-fin offset each other with 6:05 to go, and Weston scored two more times as they milked the clock in the final minutes.

“They killed us by winning the groundballs and draws,” said Paull. “That was the big-gest factor in why we didn’t win this game. Today they just wanted this game more than we did.”

Bumpus Gallery presents watercolors by Robert Burgess

During May and June 2010 the Hel-en Bumpus Gallery will present a retrospective exhibit of the water-

colors of Duxbury resident, the late Robert Burgess.

Burgess was educated at the Vesper George School of Art and the Massachusetts College of Art in Boston. He taught art for many years, most recently at Lasell College, and over the years his work was exhibited in numerous local and national art shows. He was the recipient of many awards, including “Best in Show” from both the Duxbury Art Association and the Cape Cod Art Associa-tion and the Grumbacher Medal for Design. He was a signature member of the New Eng-land Watercolor Society, the oldest watercolor society in the United States.

A reception to honor the artist will be held at the Gallery on Saturday, May 1, from 2-4 p.m.

Complimentary refreshments will be served and all are invited to attend.

The Helen Bumpus Gallery is located on the main level of the Duxbury Free Library, 77 Alden Street. The exhibit may be viewed during regular library hours.

Society until his death last year after a long battle with cancer. Patricia Flaherty sent me the notice. I covered Ruth Jensen and Patricia’s show at Vantage Point Realty recently, and shared by fierce attraction to watercolors.

Burgess was trained at the Vesper George School of Art and the Massachusetts College of Art in Boston. His career included teaching for 30 years in the Quincy Public Schools, and most recently at Lasell College. Meanwhile, he was an active member of the Helen Bumpus Gallery Board of Direc-tors, where “his expertise enabled the Board to identify many outstanding artists,” according to Patricia’s press release.

I scrambled to find Burgess’s works on the Internet, but I only found two. “Tidal Pool,” a lavish look into the magic of sea-side wildlife, and the floral painting that will grace the Re-ception Cards at the Bumpus show. The rest will have to wait until the show opens on Saturday, May 1, from 2 to 4 p.m.

Which brings me back to the beginning of this piece. What better way could there be to lightly expose yourself or your children to the community that lies behind the works of art we so easily take for granted? Our library is already brilliantly kid-friendly, and bringing your little ones to such an opening offers a splendid balance of new experience and familiar territory. It takes mildly formal appreciation of art out of the “field trip” mode, and puts it right into their home – their library – in a way that also lets them set their own agendas regarding duration and focus.

As artist Robert Henri wrote in “The Art Spirit” (1923), one who “has honesty, integrity, the love of inquiry, the desire to see beyond, is ready to appreciate good art. He [or she] needs no one to give him an art education; he is already qualified.” Libraries already accomplish this self-directed approach to learning, where the only “grade” is the patron’s own interest. The Bumpus Gallery extends this to the direct experience of art itself, without the special side trip.

For young little patrons, whose integrity and desire to “see beyond” may be fresher and stronger than our own, the Bum-pus reception can do even more. It can show them that art is not just a matter of paintings and brushes. It is a social event, a communication between the artist and the viewer, and among the viewers themselves, old or young.

Of course, it doesn’t hurt young patrons of the arts to add one more attraction: snacks. The press release makes it very clear. Refreshments will be served. I’d get there early.

On Monday, April 19, Duxbury resi-dent Jill Cadigan-

Christenson will be running her first Boston Marathon in honor of her 9-year old neph-ew, Cole Cadigan. Cole has Down Syndrome and joined the Special Olympics of Mass. this past year.

Running has always been a hobby and a source of enjoy-ment for Christenson, who has run a marathon before, but has always wanted to run Boston. As she considered running, she recalled her first experi-ence watching Cole and other Special Olympians compete.

“These athletes push

themselves beyond their lim-its in and out of the competi-tive arena. Each day can be a marathon for those with any form of disability,” said Chris-tenson.

Christenson is running in support of their efforts. Train-ing through a cold New Eng-land winter has its challenges, but in the midst of the training she continued to keep Cole on her mind. That pushed her to continue, and she will carry that with her during the 26-mile run. Cole and the rest of the family and many friends will be watching along the course and waiting at the fin-ish line.

Cole is the son of Neil Ca-digan of Duxbury and Maggie Cadigan of Scituate and is a second-grader at the Hatherly School in Scituate.

A lifelong resident of Dux-bury, Christenson is married to Donny Christenson and is the mother of Megan, Topher and Cameron. She is currently on the Zoning Board of Appeals and is co-chairwoman of Grad Nite, Inc. and works full time for Align Technology, maker of Invisalign.

If you wish to assist Jill’s efforts in support of Special Olympics of Mass., you may do so by visiting www.special-olympicsma.org/marathon.

Running for a cause

Jill Cadigan-Christenson hopes to achieve her goal with help from her training team … her nephew, Cole (9) and her youngest child, Cameron (11).

Dragons’ DenSports Editor Mike Halloran • [email protected]


Coach Barney Earle figured he would save top starter Jeff Blout for the Patriot League opener against Silver Lake on Wednesday, and throw rookie right-hander Sam Jacobson to the wolves against defending EMASS champs Plymouth North last Monday afternoon on the road.

Now with two games under his belt after opening week, Earle figures he is just where he thought he would be at 1-1. Surprisingly, the way he got there is not what he ex-pected.

After a three-run homer by Plymouth North in the first inning against Jacobson, the

sophomore bounced back in a big way, striking out five bat-ters in five innings and didn’t allow a hit after Eddie Racke’s first inning smash.

“After that one bad pitch he settled down and really took care of business,” said Earle.

The Dragon offense, which was a major concern of Earle’s before the season start-ed, cranked it up in support of Jacobson, tying the game in the top of the third inning on a Joe Coyne triple, a fielder’s choice, and a Jeff Blout RBI single.

An inning later Pat McWil-liams hit a sacrifice fly with the bases loaded to drive in the go-ahead run, and the Dragons scored six more runs over the next two innings for a 10-3 lead with McWilliams once again contributing with a two-run triple.

“Everyone contributed, and that’s what it is going to take if we are going to win more games,” said Earle.

While the victory was ex-pected to add some momen-tum to the Duxbury cause, it did anything but, as the Drag-ons traveled to Kingston on Wednesday and left with a 10-1 loss.

Three walks by Blout, two errors, and two base hits con-tributed to a 3-0 Laker lead in the bottom of the second. A run in the third and two more in

the fifth put the hosts comfort-ably ahead 6-0 while only ac-cumulating three hits through five innings.

A four-run explosion in the sixth inning ended the day for the Dragons, who hope to get back on track on Wednesday afternoon when they travel to North Quincy to take on the Red Raiders at 4 p.m.


Rod Laniewski can thank Laura Walter for making his coaching debut a pleasant one.

The senior pitcher and team tri-captain went 3 for 4 at the plate, struck out five Plym-outh North batters, and al-lowed just two hits in the Lady

Dragons’ season-opening 12-3 win over the Eagles.

With a young and inex-perienced roster sporting five freshmen and three sopho-mores, Laniewski is hoping that the pitching of Walter will lead his team to a successful season along with the help of returning tri-captains, Grace Kelso and Meghan Nelson.

Walter was not only domi-nating on the mound, but at the plate as well, as she drove in Duxbury’s first two runs in the first inning.

The slim lead would grow to 3-0 in the fourth on a pair of hits and two walks, but in the fifth and sixth the offense ex-ploded for nine more runs on

eight hits for a 12-3 lead.Five Lady Dragons had

two hits each with freshman shortstop Christina Curley, freshman catcher Caroline Mc-Sherry, senior Laura Donovan, sophomore Kristin McHugh and freshman Erin Gallagher contributing to the 15-hit at-tack.

Two days later the Lady Dragons entertained Silver Lake in their Patriot League opener, and the offense disap-peared as the game remained scoreless through five and a half innings.

Duxbury’s first big chance

to score came in the bottom of the sixth when they loaded the bases with one out. An infield fly and a fly ball to right ended the inning and squandered the opportunity.

In the top of the seventh, the Lakers led off with a bloop single to right with the next batter striking out. A failed pick-off attempt sent the run-ner to second base, and a grounder to second sent her on to third with two outs.

The next batter hit the ball to the infield where it was fielded and thrown home in an attempt to get the runner

instead of throwing to first for the final out. The play was muffed and the only score of the game came home for a 1-0 Duxbury loss.

It was a bitter pill to swal-low, as Walter had her 11-strikeout/2-hit pitching perfor-mance go to waste, along with the six-hit batting effort that saw Walter account for two of them.

On Wednesday afternoon the Lady Dragons will take their 1-1 record to the field when they host the North Quincy Red Raiders at 4 p.m.

Duxbury girls’ tennis coach Jutta Rossano had a stellar season in her first year of varsity coaching. Qualify-ing for postseason play with a 14-4 record, the second-year mentor will try to improve on last year’s record, but it won’t be easy.

While Rossano is fortunate to have Michaela Dowd at No. 1 singles for another two years, the rest of the lineup will need some tinkering in order to du-plicate its 2009 campaign.

The first critical change will come at No. 2 singles

,where senior Cory Tucker will take over for the gradu-ated Liza Thomas.

Having played a crucial role at No. 1 doubles last year, Tucker will take on the chal-lenges of the singles game.

“Corey has a real chal-lenge ahead of her,” says Ros-sano. “But she can do it.”

Junior Casey Reinhart is pretty much in the same situ-ation as Tucker, playing dou-bles last year and making the switch over to No. 3 singles this year.

“Casey will be our anchor at third singles, and she is re-ally looking forward to this year,” said her coach.

A pair of seniors will man the all-important No. 1 doubles slot and their experience from playing together as juniors will

be extremely valuable.George Washington Uni-

versity-bound Julia Allen will team with Erin Nelson and should cause problems for op-ponents.

“This will be a very strong doubles pair,” said their coach. “It will be fun to see how far they have come since they have been playing together.”

The No. 2 doubles slot will have a whole new look, as senior Therese Kozmiski will pair up with sophomore Ni-cole Hanrahan.

“Therese came to us three years ago and was a non-player, but has worked hard enough to earn a spot on our starting doubles team, while Nicole has shown me that she has a steady stroke and should partner well with Therese,”

said Rossano.Based on their season-

opening win over Silver Lake, it looks like the second-year coach made some wise deci-sions.

Dowd had little trouble putting away Silver Lake’s Jenna Pitts, 6-1/6-1, while both doubles teams did their job in exemplary fashion.

Allen and Nelson defeated Lakers Haley Perron and Em-ily Schiarizzi, 6-1/6-2 at No. 1 doubles, while Kozmiski and Hanrahan were impressive in their debut with a 6-1/6-3 victory over Sam Crespi and Alison Boerger to sew up the three-game win.

Singles proved to be a little more complicated for Tucker, who dropped her No. 2 singles match to Taylor Gri-

fa, 2-6/2-6, with Silver Lake’s Carolyn Milne knocking off Casey Reinhart at No. 3 sin-gles, 2-6/1-6.

crosse loss to Endicott on Saturday in Dudley… Clark University freshman Katie Brasington (DHS ’09) is a member of the women’s varsity-four crew team that turned in an impressive second-place finish with a time of 8:25.3, a little more than a second behind the Univ. of Rochester in Saturday’s meet on Lake Quinsigamond.

The Duxbury boys’ track team opened against the iron of the Patriot League last Tuesday, but came away with a split of their dual meet with Whitman-Hanson (49-87) and Rockland (73.5-62.5)

Senior Bobby Murphy won the 100-meter dash in 11.4, while junior captain Jon McKin-ley won the mile in 4:47.8 and the 800-meters in 2:08.

The Dragon 4 x 100-me-ter relay team of Greg Auda, Shane Mackey, senior captain Matt Shneiderhan, and Austin Waltz won in 47.4. Not to be out-done the 4-x 400-meter relay team of Ryan Piesco, Ben Kimball, Brett Sahlberg and Morgan Dwinell won in 3:51.9.

Two Dragons achieved state qualifying times, with ju-nior Adam Martin winning the 400-meters in 53.5, and taking second in the 200-meters in a time of 23.9. He also won the

triple jump with a leap of 37’ 11”.

Senior Lucas Wojciechows-ki was the other state qualifier, winning the 2-mile in 10:19.5 for a career personal-best time. He also took second in the mile with a time of 4:50.5.

Duxbury had its share of wins in the loss to the Pan-thers, but it was the depth of the Whitman-Hanson roster that got the job done.

Junior captain Greg Bray won the 400-meter hurdles in 61.1 and took second in the 800-meter run in 2:08.4, while Murphy won the 100-meter dash in 11.4.

The 4x100-meter relay team also got the win, and se-nior Shane Mackey won the 110-meter high hurdles in 16.8.

McKinley was credited with wins in the 800-meter run and took second in the mile.

Senior Morgan Dwinell placed second in the long jump, third in the triple jump and third in the 400-meters, while Martin placed second in the 400-meters, third in the 200-meters, third in the long jump and second in the triple jump.

Now sporting a 1-1 re-cord, the track teams will take on Randolph and Scituate on Thursday afternoon at 4 p.m. on the Chandler Field track.

It seems like good things always happen when a Con-nolly girl is on the roster, and it’s no different this spring, as junior Briana Connolly has the Lady Dragon golf team off to a 2-0 start.

A 5-1 win over Silver Lake in its home opener last Tues-day, followed by a 5.5-.5 win in Dennis-Yarmouth has the team in good form as they get ready for a three games in three-day stretch that started yesterday at home versus Nauset.

Coming off a successful season in 2009 that saw his team finish 9-1, Coach Jack Stoddard is blessed once again with depth and a group of un-derclassmen that will negate the loss of seniors Colleen O’Connor, Emma Keller, and Sophie Campanella.

Connolly, playing in the No. 1 spot, won her match over Dennis-Yarmouth’s Margo McKenzie, 1-up, while record-ing a birdie, and classmate Kara Falcone added to the Duxbury total by beating Kristen Win-slow in the No. 2 slot, 5 and 4.

Senior co-captain Ma-ria Varonko had two pars, but tied her match with Lauren O’Shaughnessey, while senior co-captain Kendall Johnson was a one-hole winner over Rebecca Morris, 4-3.

The shot of the day be-longed to first-year golfer, senior Kaitlin Sullivan, who

holed out from 100 yards away for a birdie in her 5 and 4 win over D-Y’s Morganne Olson.

Junior Lorin Gerraughty was also one of four Duxbury golfers to record a par in her 5 and 4 win over Kristin Roder-ick last Thursday.

In the opener Connolly had a pair of pars in her 4 and 2 win over Meaghan Hurley, while Falcone also pared in her 5 and 4 victory over Laker Ashley Davis.

Silver Lake’s Lauren Gras-so would break the Lady Drag-on’s dominance with a 2-up win over Varonko, and Johnson would turn the trick on Makaila Deckey by the identical score.

Sullivan went to the wire with Devin Parker before pull-ing out a 2 and 1 win, while Gerraughty took care of Suzie Rohr, 5 and 4.

Despite the loss of three seniors, the infusion of young talent has made the fight for roster spots very competitive, as 10 girls are in the hunt for the eight playing positions.

Junior Allie Martin and Devon Tsinzo have been bang-ing on the door for playing time and have been the alter-nates with wins in both team victories.

A pair of freshmen that have gotten Stoddard’s attention are Emma Fisko and Cayla Barker, who appear to be pushing the players in front of them with their early-season showings.

Other players who hope to get a chance to play this season include juniors Kayla Errasti and Susie Caffrey, sophomores Savannah Clinton and Al-lie Farina, along with a quar-tet of freshmen that includes Elizabeth Loreaux, Hannah McLaughlin, Kayleigh Miller, and Lauren Ruggles.

So much for an undefeated season.

The Duxbury boys’ tennis team seems to have all the in-gredients for doing some dam-age in the Patriot League this year, as well as going deep into tournament play.

However, they took a step

backwards last week in their season opener when they trav-eled to Hyannis to take on a loaded Cape Cod Academy, who pinned a 4-1 loss on the Dragons.

It was the first of a home-and-home series with the pri-vate school, with the second meeting taking place late in May when the Dragons will know what is in store.

In between, they’ll be able to feast on their league op-ponents and they did that on Wednesday in a 5-0 shutout of

Silver Lake.In the loss to CCA, Peter

Muncey was the lone singles winner at No. 2 where he beat Tyler Kugler in three games, 6-2/2-6/6-2.

Brayden Minahan had a tough time handling junior Jon Zelman at No. 1 singles in a 2-6/4-6 loss, while Connor O’Keefe lost to Willy White at No. 3, 6-1/6-4.

The first doubles pairing of Alex Holopinen and Wil-liam Kingsbury lost 6-1/6-3, but Peter Tenaglia and Steph-

an Day had a heart-breaking marathon match with John Heggarty and Oliver Rodgers at No. 2 doubles before losing in a three-set tie-breaker.

It was back to league play on Wednesday, and the Drag-ons felt right at home as they blanked the Lakers.

Minahan (6-0/6-1), Munc-ey (6-0/6-0) and Max Cote (6-1/6-2) barely broke a sweat in singles, while Tenaglia and Day had their way with Matt Kelly and Nick Vartyal, 6-1/6-2.

O’Keefe moved to doubles and teamed up with Holopinen for a 6-2/6-4 win over Nick Grovel and Nolan Lauttier.

“We’re playing well at sin-gles, but are lacking consistent play at the doubles positions,” said Coach John Bunar.

The boys will travel to North Quincy on Wednesday afternoon before returning home on Thursday for an im-portant Patriot League match with Hingham starting at 4 p.m.

Boys’ tennis drops opener to Cape Cod Academy

The Duxbury sailing team went 3-1 last week, as they opened with wins over BC High (3-0), Brewster (3-2), and Wellesley (3-0), then saw their four-match win-

ning streak come to an end with a 3-1 loss to Cape Cod Acad-emy.

It was a spectacular day for racing on Duxbury Bay, as the Dragons took care of the Eagles rather easily with three wins by their number one boat.

The match against Brewster was more of a test, as Duxbury needed to battle back from a 2-1 deficit to tie the match in the fourth race.

With the winds having picked up to a steady 12-15 knots with fairly flat water following its win over BC, the meet came down to the fifth race and it was won by Brewster. Unfortu-nately for the visitors, the outcome was decided in the protest room, where the jury disqualified one of the Brewster boats for committing a foul, enabling Duxbury to walk away victorious and stay undefeated.

Sailing for the Duxbury varsity were: (skipper/crew) Julia Leonard/Ian Grant, Alison Shane/Brendan Keohan, Hadley Burnham/Liz Runci, and Ian White/Morgan Gould.

Sailors’ see win streak comes to an end

Skipper Julia leonard and crew Ian Grant round the mark in last week’s meet with B.C. high.

Alison Shane and Brendan Keohan (Boat 8) get off to as fast start.

Julia leonard and Ian Grant (Boat 1) lead teammates Ian White and Morgan Gould (Boat 3).

Duxbury sailors do a good job covering their B.C. opponents.

It’s a good start for the Dragons.

The Duxbury Free Li-brary’s next film in the Fourth Friday Film series, “Ma Vien En Rose / My Life in Pink” directed by Alain Berliner will screen on Friday, April 23 at 7 p.m. in the Merry Room, li-brary lower level. This R-rated movie follows a family with a secret that it desperately keeps under wraps, Everything comes out, and everyone has to make a choice about what is important to them and why. This is a subtle and sweet film

with 13-year-old Georges Du-Fresne in a remarkable debut performance.

Led by James Mandrell, library trustee and professor of film at Brandeis University, the series is designed for the over-18 crowd and meets ev-ery fourth Friday. Film screen-ings are preceded and fol-lowed by lively discussion led by Prof. Mandrell. Admission is free and refreshments are available.

For further information,

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

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

Fourth Friday film series BaYS auditionsThe Bay Youth Symphony Program (BaYS), sponsored by

South Shore Conservatory in collaboration with the Plymouth Philharmonic Orchestra, is currently scheduling auditions for the 2010-2011 Season. Audition dates are available in May and June, and will be held at the Ellison Center in Duxbury and at the South Shore Conservatory Campus in Hingham.

BaYS, completing its third year, currently involves more than 120 student musicians from 23 south shore communities participating in three leveled ensembles. For more information on the Bay Youth Symphony Program, visit their Web site at sscmusic.org/orchestra, or contact Managing Director Candace Kniffen at 781-749-7565, ext. 32.
