Two years ago, the African Service Project, a club at Dux-bury High School, put on a concert with rockers State Ra-dio that raised over $20,000.

This year, they’re bring-ing the band to the Performing Arts Center again and have set the fundraising goal even higher.

The African Service Proj-ect, which includes about 60 students, formed out of a class at DHS taught by Susan Sul-livan called Holocaust and

Human Behavior that studied incidences of genocide around the world. As part of the class, Sullivan showed a documenta-ry called “Invisible Children”

Perhaps the most striking image at last Tuesday’s lec-ture about the dangers of bul-lying and cyberbullying was a photo of presenter Eliza-beth Englander’s 9-year-old son in a museum, staring at a rotary phone as if it was a mysterious device from an-tiquity.

The underlying mes-sage: Technology is chang-ing at a lightning-quick pace, and parents need to educate themselves.

Bullying expert speaks on cyber issues at the PAC

After Dr. Englander spoke, a panel of local and regional experts answered questions from the audience about cyberbullying. Included in the panel were Englander, Assistant Superintendent Edwin Walsh, Nancy MacKay, School Safety Officer and Margaret Hannah.

On Monday night, the town of Duxbury publicly accused Johnson Golf Management Inc. of nine separate violations of its management contract for the town-owned North Hill golf course on Merry Ave.

The Board of Selectmen’s public hearing had been post-poned by two weeks after Johnson received a restraining

order from the Middlesex Su-perior Court prohibiting town officials from discussing the issue. The gag order was lifted last week.

Selectmen chose not to take any action against John-son at this meeting, but in-stead, listened to Duxbury Town Counsel Robert Troy explain the violations, while Recreation Director Gordon

Razia Jan, an Afghan phi-lanthropist, Muslim, and for-mer Duxbury businesswoman and Patti Quigley of Wellesley, a Catholic woman widowed in the September 11 attacks, continue their collaboration to establish and support the free education of girls in Afghani-stan through the Razia’s Ray of Hope Foundation, razias-rayofhope.org, by hosting a tea. Any funds raised from the event will support the Zabuli Education Center located in the village of Deh Subz, a hard-hit suburb of Kabul, Afghanistan. The Zabuli Education Cen-ter, opened in 2008, provides schooling, educational materi-als, and a free lunch for girls who cannot travel safely into Kabul, where classes for girls are more common.

The tea will be held on Sunday, Oct. 10 at the Dux-bury Senior Center, 10 May-flower St., from 3 p.m.-5:30 p.m. Razia has traveled back from Afghanistan to update her primary supports and new friends about the progress the students have made.

The tea’s theme is “Girl Power, Afghan Style!”

“These girls are depending on us,” Quigley said. “They want to learn, and they know that an education will help them find a happy and healthy life.

“They have nothing,” said Jan, from Kabul. “Nothing but their families and the clothes on their back. We give the girls their books, materials, and qualified teachers to give them a future. We even give them a

meal, with fresh milk, and a safe, modern place to clean up and be ready for school each day. There is no charge to the girls or their families.”

From a district-wide per-spective, the Duxbury Schools performed well on the MCAS, or Massachusetts Comprehen-sive Assessment System, a test used to measure student per-formance in grades 3 through 12.

MCAS scores are used to rank the state in the federal No Child Left Behind legislation that will require all students in the country to achieve a cer-tain level of test performance by 2014. No Child Left Be-hind performance is measured by a standard called Adequate Yearly Progress, or AYP.

From a bird’s-eye view, Duxbury is performing well.

“I think the positive thing is that ... the performance rat-ing is still very high,” said Assistant Superintendent Ed Walsh.

Performance rating is a specific term used in deter-mining No Child Left Behind status. Walsh said that the dis-trict as a whole, as well as each individual school, scored the

highest rating possible. Over-all, Duxbury is “on target” in terms of No Child Left Be-hind.

Walsh pointed to individu-al success stories, such as ev-ery student in grade 6 passing the test in English and math.

However, test performance is also measured in smaller “subgroups,” and Duxbury’s subgroup of special education students in grades 3-8 did not meet adequate yearly progress in either English language arts or math. This is traditionally an area the district has struggled with, especially at the younger grade levels.

The district is not in any level of accountability sta-tus in terms of No Child Left Behind, however Walsh said teachers and administrators will be meeting on Friday to formulate a plan of action and to look at potential changes to the curriculum.

“All of our professional development gears toward curriculum improvement,” he said. He added that grants through the American Re-

covery and Reinvestment Act (federal stimulus money) is paying for teacher training, especially in the reading and writing areas that the younger grades sometimes struggle with on the MCAS.

Walsh will be present-ing the district’s plan to deal with the underperforming sub-groups at a School Committee meeting in November.

An embezzlement of skimmers

By fahy ByGate, Clipper Columnist

I have spent many hours, days and even months of my adult life tagging along behind other birders, trying to keep up. Not to keep up physically but to keep up with

their expertise. Their knowledge of bird life, their quick eyes and sharp ears, their instinctive genius for finding and iden-tifying birds. It’s exhausting but inspiring. But some of these genius birders are way out of my league.

Recently, I was in Maine on a beautiful island, poking around with some of these rare birders looking for birds that were headed south after a long summer of breeding in the north. Most mornings we jumped up early to go out onto the

island and see what had flown in during the night, but this particular morning we were all hunkered down in our warm beds waiting for the fog and rain to disappear. Sudden-

ly I heard feet hit the floor and people thudding down the steps. Downstairs, I found the group on the porch with their binocu-lars trained on a tiny island just opposite our house. “What is it?” I asked. “Black Skimmers!” they said. Black Skimmers?

Now, Black Skimmers are very handsome and interesting birds, but they do not show up in Maine. Some skimmers do breed on Cape Cod. I have seen them in the marshes in Orleans but this is probably the first time someone has spotted one on Monhegan Island.

Personally, I would never have even noticed these black and white birds hanging with the gulls. They blended in with the Laughing Gulls and Greater Black-backs loafing on the side of the rocks. They are about the size of gulls with black backs, black caps and white under parts. Their red legs are short for their size making them look as if they are standing in a hole. The bill of the Black Skimmer looks like Halloween candy corn: red at the base of the long black tip. But the really interesting feature of this bird is the fact that the mandibles of their black and red bill are of unequal length. This enables the skimmer to, well, uh ... skim. They fly just above the surface of the water with the lower half of the bill scooping up fish as they fly along. (One of the most bizarre ways of finding lunch I ever saw.)

Usually, I see skimmers sitting on a Florida beach with the terns. When they have their strange bills tucked into their wings they look just like terns. I have never seen them through the chilly fog of a Maine morning. It certainly pays to hang out with the geniuses.

P.S. The collective word for a group of skimmers is “an embezzlement.”

Cushing provided background information. Attorney Stephen Follansbee, representing John-son Golf Management, Inc. of Weston, rebutted the claims. Doug Johnson, owner of John-son Golf, did not attend the meeting.

The alleged contract vio-lations were listed in a Sept. 28 letter from Town Manager Richard MacDonald to John-son.

They include the following: 1) failing to provide a surety bond as required by the con-tract 2) neglecting to pay the monthly rent on time 3) failing to timely pay the June payment-in-lieu-of-taxes 4) illegally op-erating a beverage cart on the golf course 5) submitting hand-written financial information instead of establishing a con-trol and reporting system to audit course use 6) increasing membership and greens fees in 2009 in violation of a court or-der to manage the course under the terms of the 2008 contract 7) failing to submit an annual audit of the golf course by an independent auditor 8) sporadi-cally providing the town with monthly financial and course reports and 9) establishing a holiday fee schedule without town approval.

Johnson’s inability to get a surety bond is the most se-rious violation, according to Troy. The bond is the town’s insurance if Johnson defaulted on the agreement or declared bankruptcy.

Johnson informed town of-ficials in a letter this spring that his insurance company would not issue him a bond because of his lawsuit against the town.

Johnson, who has managed the course for the past 15 years, sued the town in 2008 after los-ing the management contract to Calm Golf of Rockland. In that lawsuit, Johnson claimed that Calm Golf was unqualified and that the town conspired against him. He was able to obtain a successful injunction against the town in Middlesex County court that has allowed him to remain in control of North Hill under the terms of his last con-tract, which ended in Decem-ber 2008.

Troy said that the town could face financial jeopardy if it allowed Johnson to run the course without a surety bond. If Johnson is unable to contin-ue managing the course for the upcoming season, the member-ship fees that Johnson collects from the public in November and December would be gone, said Troy. Also, the town would lose out on the $100,000 annu-al payment and would have to run the course with only short notice.

Because Johnson does not have the surety bond, he has violated his contract with the town, said Troy.

“There is no nuance here. You have either satisfied the terms of the management agreement and contract or you have not,” said Troy.

Troy pointed out that the surety bond problem is one of Johnson’s own making. “When

Johnson says they couldn’t get the bond because of litigation, they omit one very important fact: they’re the ones who filed the litigation,” Troy said.

Follansbee explained that Johnson couldn’t obtain a sure-ty bond because the current court-ordered management agreement did not have an end-ing date.

“We would respectfully suggest that is something that is determined by the court rather than an allegation of non-compliance here,” said Follansbee. “It’s a problem that we can solve if we work together ... whatever security is necessary in lieu of a perfor-mance bond, we’d be happy to provide that.”

On the matter of timely rent payments, according to Troy and Cushing, Johnson has not made his rent payments on the first of the month as specified by the management contract.

Cushing said that the town had only been paid on the first of the months on two months — August and September 2010.

“All other payments were received after the first of the month,” said Cushing.

“We can conclude that Johnson has violated that pro-vision of the contract which requires the company to pay the rent on a timely basis,” said Troy.

Follansbee denied this claim. He said Johnson has always paid the rent early be-cause according to the contract, it is paid in arrears on the first of the month for the preceding month, meaning, for example, that the March payment is due April 1.

Follansbee admitted that Johnson was late paying the June 2010 payment in lieu of taxes, coming at the end of June not on June 1, but he in-sists that because the rent was paid before July 1, this pay-ment was covered.

Follansbee further asserted that there has been no illegal beverage cart at North Hill. Troy said he has letters submit-ted from the public stating that there has been such a cart on the course for many years.

According to Troy, John-son has failed to submit annual audits of his business at North Hill.

“The town has not received an audit as of yet,” said Troy. “This is a violation of the man-agement contract.”

Follansbee disagreed, say-ing that Johnson had “always provided audits” and that his accountant was currently work-ing on an audit and would sub-mit it when it was done.

Troy also said the town had received many complaints from the public about Johnson raising the membership rates and greens fees.

According to the contract, the fees can be raised every three years. Cushing said they were last increased in 2007 and that 2010 would have been the next time they could be raised. However, Cushing said that Johnson raised the fees in 2009.

In an Oct. 4 letter to the

town, Johnson stated the fol-lowing: “The last increase prior for memberships was 2007. It stayed the same in 2008. As a result, 2009 becomes the third year.”

He added that there was no greens fee increase in 2009 and that they only were raised $1 in 2010.

Selectman Betsy Sullivan took issue with how Johnson submitted his financial infor-mation, on hand-written forms on which the figures are “are scratched out and barely leg-ible.”

“This is not generally ac-ceptable accounting practices,” she said.

Follansbee said Johnson had been submitting hand-written financial pages because that is what he was told to do by the Recreation Department when he first started running the course 15 years ago.

Troy told selectmen that it was important for them to act soon.

“Once Johnson collects fees in November, they’ve given themselves the procurement,” he said. “This has turned the law on its head.”

“They made the decision to take the money and not file a bond,” he added. “Where does that leave the town? Nervously hoping they make it through the season.”

Selectmen Chairman Shawn Dahlen said the board would review the information given Monday night and make a decision on the alleged con-tract violations at their Oct. 18 meeting.

Troy told selectmen they had four choices: first, take no action; second, decide that Johnson violated the manage-ment contract and order him to take “appropriate and reme-dial action;” third, decide that the allegations against Johnson are serious enough that they can terminate the contract; and fourth, have the town put the contract out to bid again.

Sullivan said she wanted more information, specifically all the rent collected by the

town from Johnson to see if it was paid in a timely manner. Cushing said he has records of all deposits dating to 1989.

In his letter to the town, Johnson said that “it makes no sense” to have a public meet-ing about contract violations because of the lawsuit. All in-formation on alleged violations should be submitted to the court, he said.

“The sole effect of your meeting will be to create con-troversy as to who is operat-ing the golf course, which will damage our business,” stated Johnson. “This will lead to fur-ther damages that we will seek to recover.”

Johnson disagreed with Troy’s assertion that the town could force Johnson to vacate

the property. He wrote: “Only the judge who issued the in-junction in February 2009 can do that.”

Troy said there was a court date on the case set for Novem-ber.

At the meeting’s end, a res-ident wanted to speak about the case, but Dahlen denied him, saying that the selectmen were only taking information from the attorneys and one other per-son related to the case.

However, Selectman Chris-topher Donato wanted to allow the man to speak but Dahlen did not agree.

Because of this Donato cast the dissenting vote when select-men voted 2 to 1 to close the hearing and take the case under advisement until Oct. 18.

Girl Scout newsLeaders’ meeting: Please be sure to have your troop repre-

sented at our first leaders’ meeting on Oct. 6, from 7:30-9 p.m. at the Girl Scout House on Washington Street. We are also looking forward to meeting our new leaders as we plan our activities for the upcoming year.

Halloween/Juliette Low Birthday Party: The annual Hal-loween/Juliette Low Birthday Party, will be held from 6-8 p.m. on Oct. 29 at Holy Family Church. Daisy leaders should have received a flier via e-mail to forward to the girls in their troops. Registration is required, and the form is on the bottom of the flier. We regret that due to the large number of Daisy Scouts this year we have to limit the number we can accommodate. There-fore, we suggest signing up early to avoid disappointment. This is always a fun-filled evening for our youngest Scouts and the girls have come up with some new activities for the girls this year. Questions? Please call Joan Riser at 781-934-5427.

Troop Happenings: Taking advantage of the beautiful weather, some of our Cadette Scouts headed to Boston to walk the Freedom Trail on Saturday. The girls used a scavenger hunt to fulfill the requirements for the Freedom Trail Patch and learn about the important role Boston played during the Revolution-ary War period as they visited 16 historical sites. They began at the Statehouse and then traveled to the Old South Church and the Old State House with a stop at the Granary Burial Grounds. Then on to Faneuil Hall and a picnic lunch stop at the beauti-ful Rose Kennedy Greenway before heading to Paul Revere’s Home and the Old North Church, answering the questions on their scavenger hunt paper along the way. At the USS Constitu-tion they opted for the tour so that they could learn more about how the sailors lived on the ship and toured the lower levels of this famous vessel. Their final stop on the trail was the Bun-ker Hill Monument where they climbed the 294 steps and were rewarded with an outstanding view of the city and harbor. On their return they stopped for an ice cream (a fitting reward for walking the six-mile round trip trail) and then paid a visit to the Farmers Market at Quincy Market to purchase strawberries. The girls agreed that it was a great experience and were grateful to the National Park personnel who answered their questions along the way.

WALKING THE WALK: Cadettes Madeline Buchanan, Elizabeth Creamer, Sara Walker, Sophie Roy, Lauren Roy and Megan Roy took time to pose for a photo after climbing the Bunker Hill Monument at the end of the Freedom Trail.

Pilgrim Church to hold walkOn Oct. 16, Pilgrim Church will hold its second annual

CROP Walk. Commencing at 10 a.m. at Duxbury Beach, Pil-grim Church members and friends, of all ages, will come to-gether and walk three miles to raise money and awareness for the fight against poverty and hunger.

The CROP Walk is sponsored by Church World Service. Founded in 1946, CWS seeks to combat the root causes of poverty, through emergency relief assistance, education, ad-vocacy and empowerment. Whether digging wells for access to clean water, providing training for fish farming, supplying seeds and tools for people to grow their own food, CWS pro-motes and nurtures sustainable development with its partners around the world.

The money raised by this walk will directly benefit the im-portant work of CWS at both a global and local level. Twenty five percent of the money raised will go to help a local hunger relief agency, the Greater Plymouth Food Warehouse.

For more information about the Pilgrim Church CROP Walk, please contact the Pilgrim Church office at 781-934-6591.

Janet Elaine Fossel, 62, accomplished cook

Richard Villalobos died after a lengthy ill-ness on Aug. 15, 2010, in Shrews-bury. He was the husband

of the late Joan (Smith Jarrett) Villalobos. He was born May 28, 1928 in Phoenix, Ariz. to Mexican immigrants, Ramon and Lupe Villalobos. He lived in Orange County, Calif. from early childhood until 1984, then in Duxbury until recently moving to Shrewsbury.

Before his retirement, Mr. Villalobos was a chemical en-

gineer who specialized in the design of sophisticated ana-lytical equipment. He enjoyed his family, his garden, and woodworking including furni-ture design. He loved to camp and took his family on many trips. Additional pastimes in-cluded arguing politics, read-ing, cooking Mexican feasts, photography and much more.

Mr. Villalobos was an ac-tive member of the Unitarian Churches in Anaheim and Ful-lerton, Calif., and in Duxbury.

Mr. Villalobos leaves his children, Naomi Villalobos of Calif., Raymond Villalobos of Mass., Richard A. Villalo-bos of Calif., Elizabeth Nutley

of Calif., and Shari Fessel of Wash.; his step-sons, Den-nis Jarrett and Brent Jarrett of New Mexico; his step-daugh-ter Julie Pompei, also of New Mexico; and 17 grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. He was the father of the late Gabriel Villalobos and step-father of the late Jonathon Tucker.

A celebration of Mr. Vil-lalobos’ life will take place on Saturday, Oct. 9 at First Parish Church in Duxbury at 9 a.m. The service will be officiated by Reverend Catherine Cul-len. The family will scatter his ashes at a later date.

The face in the mirrorBy diCk rothsChild Clipper Columnist

What lies behind that innocent face greeting you in the bathroom mirror every morning? A not so in-nocent human being who is responsible for emit-

ting over a thousand pounds of carbon dioxide a year. Multiply that by all the faces gazing in the mirror each morning and you have a staggering statistic- far too large – if we are going to re-duce pollution and dependence on foreign oil and mitigate climate change.

Hold on now, I am not about to pro-pose that you turn down your thermostat this winter to the point at which icicles form on your nose or that you purchase an all-electric car which can’t even get you to Provincetown and back on a fully charged battery.

What I have in mind are two pain-less ways you can cut your CO2 count by as much as 20 percent.

The first is to stop receiving catalogs. Ridding yourself of 10 unwanted catalogs can eliminate 154 pounds of carbon dioxide per year, more than 15 percent of the 1,000 pounds the average person accounts for.

Here’s how. From your Internet browser, go to Catalog Choice, catalogchoice.org.

This free service enables you to stop receiving those cata-logs, phone books, coupons and solicitations you don’t want. On the site you sign up for an account. Then having torn off the backs of the catalogs you no longer want to receive, you type in the mailing information printed on each and Catalog Choice will do the rest. Soon you will start to notice that you are receiving fewer catalogs. While the service is not perfect (because a few companies are slow to respond or ignore opt-out requests) it works surprisingly well. Over 1,200,000 people are already us-ing Catalog Choice which, in turn, is in contact with over 3,000 catalog producing companies.

The second idea is to go on a paper diet. Before you make a paper copy of something on your computer, ask yourself, “Do I really need to print this?” You’ll find that in most cases saving it in a file on your computer will suffice. As for those documents of which you really need hard copies, consider printing them on both sides of the paper. That will reduce your copy paper con-sumption by nearly 50 percent.

that spotlighted the plight of children in the African nation of Uganda who lived in fear of being abducted and forced to serve as child soldiers in a rebel army. Children often left their homes and huddled to-gether in the relative safety of municipal buildings or schools in a practice called “night com-muting.”

The video had a tremen-dous effect on the students, who felt called to action.

“You want to help so they don’t have to be afraid every night,” said junior Sara Cador-ette. “They’re always hiding.”

Initially, students made bracelets and sold them, with the proceeds going to Invisible Children. Through a local con-nection to the bands (State Ra-dio’s drummer Mike Najarian lives in Duxbury and the sons of Aerosmith guitarist Joe Per-ry also performed) the concert eventually materialized. Pro-ceeds from the show went to a charity, Calling all Crows, that is headed by State Radio lead singer Chad Urmston.

Last year, the club brought in a speaker who had been a child soldier in the Lord’s Resistance Army, or LRA, in Uganda.

The young man, Innocent, was the recipient of a scholar-ship through the Invisible Chil-dren foundation, and his story again had a profound effect on the students at the high school. Students from all grades, not just the African Service Proj-ect, came to hear him speak.

“I just wanted to tell [fel-low students] more about it,” said sophomore Michela North. “I really wanted to do something that day.”

“Even the teachers were shocked,” added Cadorette.

However, the event had a bittersweet aftermath. Nate Henn, a member of Invis-ible Children who had come with Innocent to Duxbury and stayed with a local family, was killed in a bombing attack in Uganda earlier this year while

watching the World Cup. It was a tragic reminder that while the practice of night commut-ing has ended, and the LRA has been driven from Uganda into other countries, the youth of Africa still face many chal-lenges.

“People think they can’t do anything because they’re younger,” said DHS freshman Montana Sullivan. “It’s really disturbing what they have to go through [in Uganda].”

This year’s concert will benefit Counting all Crows again, Sullivan said, but the fo-cus will be on job training for women in Sudan. There will also be a food drive that will help local families through the Plymouth Food Bank.

“When Innocent was here, he was telling the kids what a difference the money makes over there,” Sullivan said.

The first time State Radio played in Duxbury, certain promotional rules limited the amount of advertising Sulli-van and her students could do. This year, she hopes to get the word out earlier and raise even more money –– she’s shooting for $25K.

Sullivan said the band was eager to help the cause.

“I think they loved the fact that high school kids were try-ing to make a difference in the

world,” she said.Related to the concert, but

on a to-be-determined date in November, will be a silent auction, and the African Ser-vice Project is looking for do-nations from residents or local businesses. They also want to do something more local to support women.

The show will be Nov. 6, 7 p.m. at the Performing Arts Center. Tickets are $25 and are available at DHS, State Ra-dio’s Web site or at the PAC box office.

Expert speaks on cyberbullyingEnglander is a professor

of psychology at Bridgewater State College and director of the Massachusetts Aggression Reduction Center. She is an authority on bullying and cy-berbullying and came to the Performing Arts Center in an event sponsored by the Parent Connection.

Although Englander warned that some parents in at-tendance were going to “want to go home and throw your computer out the window,” she said she’s not against tech-nology in general and to a cer-tain extent, it should be OK for kids to make mistakes online.

“Every time a child makes an error, it’s a learning experi-ence,” she said.

Still, the Internet presents some dangers that parents and kids alike need to take seri-ously. Englander said the more kids learn about social respon-sibility as young men and women, the less likely they are to make career-threatening mistakes as adults.

One theme Englander stressed throughout her talk was that nothing on the In-ternet is private, despite what some social networking sites may tout for “privacy set-tings.”

“None of them are private. That’s a marketing term,” she said. “What [kids] don’t un-derstand is the impact of what they do online.”

As an example, she cited a survey that revealed more than 50 percent of teenagers had given away their passwords at some point.

Englander said many adults mistakenly look at the amount of time teenagers spend on-line as an “addiction.” In real-ity, she said, it’s more like an anxiety.

“Kids today are, generally speaking, controlled by tech-nology instead of the other way around,” she said.

This can sometimes be hard for adults to understand because they don’t have the same comfort level with tech-nology that teens and pre-teens have.

“That’s how they live, they’re always in touch,” she said of teens’ constant check-ing of phones and computers. “That’s part of what’s going on when kids don’t want to put down the cell phone for 15 minutes to go rake the lawn ... It’s not that they want to be de-fiant, but if they hear that buzz, it’s too tempting not to check one more time.”

Because of this anxi-ety, kids are often reluctant to block people on sites like Facebook –– even bullies.

“They worry so much about missing something ... they have a tendency to go back and unblock them,” Eng-lander said.

In addition to direct cyber-

bulling on social networking sites through messages and wall posts, applications like Friend Facts let other kids take surveys and answer questions about the bullying victim. This adds to a child’s anxiety, because they want to know what’s being said about them even if it’s negative.

Englander recently asked her son why he doesn’t block such applications on Face-book.

“He said, ‘I feel like I can’t,’” she said. “He doesn’t understand he’s in control.”

For those who think this is a problem only for middle school and high schoolers, or is limited to Facebook –– think again. There is a social networking site called Club Penguin aimed at elementary school students, as young as second grade, and bully-ing exists there to. Englander showed a screen shot of an avatar on Club Penguin telling another child, “This place isn’t for ugly people.”

The family computer isn’t the only area where children can be cyberbullied. Englander reminded parents that mobile phones aren’t really for calling anymore –– in fact, less than 10 percent of teens say they use the phone to talk.

“Don’t forget about the mobile computers you’re giv-ing them,” he said.

She gave parents some tips on limiting cell phone usage such as restricting data plans under the age of 14, or ban-ning cell phones from the bed-room. She gave an example of a teen girl in one of her studies that said she regularly texted friends until 2 or 3 a.m. while in high school –– all unbe-knownst to her parents.

As part of her work through MARC, Englander has been conducting a study of 100 college freshmen and their phone and Internet habits. She reported that 71 percent were

cyberbullied in high school, and 25 did the bullying.

“This is a widespread is-sue. It’s happening to most kids,” she said.

The biggest issue for those being bullied was rumors, but other problems included rela-tionships, sex activities, sexual orientation and looks.

When it came to the ac-tivity known as “sexting,” or sending nude photos to a boy-friend, Englander was shocked to find that the number one reason girls sent a photo was to attract a potential boyfriend. In her study, she also found that 25 percent of the girls re-ported they had been coerced into sexting.

“We’ve got to make sure kids know it’s against the law,” she said. “It’s a very serious problem.”

After Englander’s talk, a panel of local experts and school officials took questions from the audience.

School Safety Officer Friend Weiler said bullying and cyberbulling is a very real problem in Duxbury.

“I deal with this every day,” he said. “I think it’s a community problem, it’s not just a school problem.”

Englander and Margaret Hannah, director of the Fried-man Center, also talked about the new anti-bullying legisla-tion that was recently passed in Massachusetts. Englander said it’s a common misconcep-tion that the law criminalizes bullying, but it does require schools to report incidents and to have a bullying prevention plan. Assistant Superintendent Edwin Walsh is working with a task force to develop Dux-bury’s plan.

“The new law is really about, if you see it, say it,” said Hannah. “It’s really about teaching our kids to be good citizens.”

Weiler told the crowd that from a law enforcement per-spective, bullying can be diffi-cult because most off-campus speech is protected by the first amendment –– and that can apply to harassment via Face-book.

“I always tell everyone, you need to document it ... we can’t work on hearsay,” he said.

Englander said that when it comes to talking to one’s child about the dangers of cyberbul-lying, there’s a danger of fram-ing the debate incorrectly.

“It’s framed as, should I trust my child versus should I spy on my child,” she said. “That’s the wrong debate ... You want to teach them what the Internet is like in real life.”

The best thing to do, she said, is teach children to think before they click. “If you train them, they won’t make those kinds of mistakes,” she said. “The goal isn’t to catch them, it’s to train them.”


Elizabeth K. Englander, a profes-sor of psychology at Bridgewater State College and director of the Massachusetts Aggression Reduction Center, spoke to par-ents and community members about the dangers of bullying and cyberbullying at the Performing Arts Center last Tuesday.

Unfortunately few operating businesses are immune to the effects of the recent credit crunch. As the threat of inflation continues and prices rise, oftentimes available credit doesn’t.

Small business owners are left to restock in-ventories with less liquidity. This effect can quickly snowball and cause serious liquidity and credit problems. Keeping lines of credit open and maintaining an additional cash buffer may ease the pressure a bit. Business owners can also look for loans from less tra-ditional sources. A permanent life insurance policy, for example, provides death benefit protection, but can build equity in the form of cash value you can borrow against should you need to.1

Opportunity: Retirement Contribution Tax DeductionsMany business owners are so certain they will be able to fund their retirement through the sale of their business that they don’t bother to make any other retirement plans. The reality is, a sale might not be easy and there are attractive opportunities for current tax deductions through qualified retirement plans.

Traditional plans remain popular and include IRA’s, 401(k)s, SEP’s, and SIMPLEs. They allow employers to take a tax deduc-tion on contributions. Other IRS-approved plans are increas-ing in popularity such as the 412(e)(3) plan. This plan may allow certain small business owners to make potentially higher initial tax deductible contributions. You should consult your tax or legal advisor prior to establishing a qualified retirement plan.

Opportunity: Increased Unemployment Results in Larger Employee PoolFor employers looking to bring on new employees, the down economy may actually benefit their business. Increased un-employment has flooded the employee pool with more highly qualified candidates than ever before. Employers shouldn’t overlook potential candidates because of the stigma of hav-ing been laid off. The job market presents the opportunity for small business owners to attract and retain big business talent at small business costs. It may also be wise to hire commission-based employees, often known as “pay for performance.” Em-ployers will find an increasing number of qualified individuals that may have never considered commission-based compensa-tion before, willing to give it a try.

Cyber safety starts at homeLast Tuesday’s lecture by Dr. Elizabeth Englander

was shocking, even for parents who consider themselves tech-savvy and relatively informed

on their children’s Internet activities. The screenshot of second graders calling each other names on Club Penguin, an otherwise-cutesy social network for elementary schoolers, shows just how deep this issue runs in our society.

The biggest mistake the older generation can make when it comes to cyberbullying is to think, “bullying happened to me and I turned out fine. It’s just part of life!” What’s happening online today is different from being pushed down in the schoolyard, or having your books dumped in the hallway. The anonymity of the Internet allows bullies to be even crueler because they don’t have to see their victim’s face. The fact that kids today are plugged in 24/7 means that the bullying follows them home, invades their family space and even their own bedrooms through texting and Facebook messages. Bullying victims used to be able to go home to get away from their tormentors. Now, there’s no escaping the harassment. It’s naive to think that it’s not different now, and even people in the 25-30-year-old range never had to deal with issues kids are dealing with today.

One of the most interesting things Dr. Englander said was that it’s wrong to think of kids constantly looking down at their phones or laptops as an addiction. It’s an anxiety –– kids today are so used to being plugged in that separation from their phone or computer makes them stressed out.

The biggest lesson from Tuesday’s talk was that dealing with cyberbullying starts at home. Many parents in the audience seem to want to know what the school is doing about Facebook harassment, or cell phones on the bus. Well, the school didn’t buy little Johnny that iPhone with 3G Web access. The school isn’t the one allowing laptops in the bedroom at night or leaving the Wi-Fi access on all night.

Setting good Internet and phone habits starts at home. The great thing about cell phones is that they’re always available in case of emergencies. But younger kids don’t need to have access to text messages or unlimited Web use. As Englander said, that’s a mobile computer they’re walking around with. And keeping the family computer in a public area, or banning laptops or phones from the bedroom, can go a long way towards making sure kids aren’t going on Web sites they shouldn’t, or staying up until 4 a.m.

The new law about bullying is a good thing –– schools do need to have a written policy on how they’ll deal with problems. Most districts could certainly stand to modernize their thinking on how to deal with bullies. But the real work has to happen at home. Talk to your kids. Make sure they know that nothing’s private on the Internet. Technology isn’t going away –– but involved parents can do a lot to ensure their children are being safe.

–– J. Graeber

It’s devastating that it takes more teenage suicides to bring “bul-

lying” into the public view. As Ellen Degeneres shared last week, it’s a wakeup call, and every person in the community has a responsibility to be part of the solution.

“The Social Network,” the film that charts the life of founder Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook fame, was the box office winner this weekend. Facebook has indisputably changed how the world stays in touch and shares their lives. “The Social Network” provides insight into how some forms of bullying have gathered steam. If the film is to be believed,

Mark Zuckerberg is socially inept; after getting dumped by his girlfriend proceeds to blog nasty stuff about her and exacts his revenge by creating various online tools and games. For the regular Facebook user, one can now understand how mean-spirited, passive aggressive tools like “Social Interview,” “Honesty Box” and “Form-spring” were born. Mark Zuck-erberg used his exceptional programming skills to slander, humiliate, disparage friends and colleagues who crossed him and has now put into the hands of our young kids, those tools to do the same.

As parents we all have a responsibility to talk with our

children about the negative un-dercurrent of social media and to discourage their involve-ment in a movement that strips young people of their character, self esteem and dignity.

Next step – either boycott, or if your children are users, get to know Facebook. If we are to address bullying and cyberbul-lying, it’s time to start lobbying the Statehouse and Washington to get Facebook/social media to wake up and take some respon-sibility as it relates to a bully-ing/defamatory culture on their sites.

Community needs to wake up about bullying —

I have read that Dux-bury is in the process of formulating a build-

ing project that may replace the existing high school and middle school at a cost to be determined. My question is: What happens to the two existing facilities and what would be the (additional) cost

involved? Will they be demol-ished? Will they be renovated as town offices? Might they be used to develop affordable or senior housing? A new facility will exist at a specific cost to the community but how will the existing facilities continue to impact the community? At the very least, they may have

to be demolished or renovated to continue to serve the town in some capacity. Have these questions been broached? I have not seen anything ad-dressing this topic either in print or on existing Web sites.

What happens to old school buildings? ———

I would like to extend a special thanks to all those in Duxbury who

generously donated this sum-mer to the organization, My Brother’s Keeper. All items were greatly appreciated not only from us here at MBK but from the people in need we have delivered to. Thanks to your donations many adults and children are now sleeping on “new” linens, have a selec-tion of pots, pans, dishes, and glassware to choose from, and even a warm blanket to wrap themselves up in when it gets cold.

I have been helping out with this organization for sev-

eral years and this year has been the most successful in collecting items from our com-munity. I was first introduced to MBK through Holy Family

Church. My family chose an-other “family” to help during the Christmas season. I now collect gently worn or new linens, towels, dishes, kitchen-ware, and glassware. Items are dropped off at my home in a large container left outside or, if necessary, I arrange a pick up. I make monthly trips to MBK when our truck is full. If you would like to continue to donate locally please drop off at 612 Temple Street or call 617-688-4181. For further information please visit my-brotherskeeper.org.

Delivering hope to My Brother’s Keeper ———

As a Duxbury resi-dent living close to the school campus,

it was hard to avoid the inci-dent that took place at the li-brary after school last Tuesday. It looked as though it could have been a taping for a crime show. It wasn’t. I certainly un-derstand the emotions of the students involved, but I have concerns that I have had before regarding children at the town library and library playground – supervision, or should I say, the lack thereof. The Duxbury Free Library is a public library, available to everyone. Nowhere on it’s front door does it say, the library supervises or babysits

children after school. The same goes for the playground. There is no town-paid supervisor watching the children.

The Duxbury Student Union is located on the school campus. This is a perfect place for highly spirited youth, want-ing to catch up with friends, play a pickup basketball game, throw a Frisbee, get some homework help or hang out in a game room with all cool games, gadgets and comput-ers. The DSU opened nearly four years ago to address the need for a safe, supervised and engaging place to meet the needs of youth after school and on specific weekends. If you

haven’t been there, it is worth a visit to see the three floors of activities and games. This is an amazing resource in our town, don’t ignore it because we want more for free.

And by the way, thank you, to the Duxbury Police Depart-ment for their quick and effi-cient response. They managed the kids emotions (both those of the children asking for the police to be called, as well as those involved in the potential-ly dangerous, but slightly exag-gerated incident) in the most supportive and professional way.

Kids need supervision —————————


School project Q&AThe process of planning a school building project is

lengthy and complex. In Massachusetts, a school district must work collaboratively with the Massachusetts School Building Authority (MSBA) in order to qualify for significant reimburse-ment to the town for construction costs. The Duxbury School Building Committee (SBC) will periodically publish a Ques-tion and Answer column to help keep residents informed and up to date on its work and progress with the MSBA. This in-formation will also be available on the school Web site, www.duxbury.k12.ma.us.

Why are we looking at a combined school? Both DMS and DHS need major renovation or replacement. The feasibil-ity study presented a design option for a co-located school: separate middle and high schools with some shared “back of the house” facilities. A co-located design priority would be to maintain distinct identities and spaces for the middle school and high school populations. There are many advantages with a co-located building: a smaller total footprint than two separate buildings, centralized mechanical systems and energy management system, centralized technology support, shared facilities such as the kitchen, and the potential for greater flex-ibility in scheduling and staffing, and improved traffic flow.

Further, the MSBA is interested in a co-located design as a cost-effective solution for Duxbury. Typically, the MSBA re-quires towns to prioritize one building at a time. A co-located building offers an opportunity to address both buildings and realize cost and time efficiencies in the planning and construc-tion.

What are the benefits of new construction vs. renova-tion? New construction has many advantages: a flexible de-sign to accommodate the growing use of technology, changes in enrollment and in educational programs; fewer costly sur-prises and shorter construction duration; more efficient space and energy use with a smaller footprint and most importantly; less disruption to students who would remain in the existing buildings until the new building opens, rather than having to move into costly portable classrooms and temporary spaces.

The middle school and high school were built in the 1960s and expanded in the 1970s to accommodate enrollment growth in Duxbury. Few of these buildings’ major deficiencies can be corrected with renovation. The “spread-out” nature of these buildings makes them inefficient to operate and limits acces-sibility and security. Many interior classrooms have no win-dows. Classrooms are undersized. Renovation and replace-ment of major systems is estimated to cost about $70 million but won’t correct the significant issues in the two schools. It is unlikely that separate renovation projects would receive re-imbursement.

Why is this happening now? Duxbury’s Long-range School Facilities Plan of 2000 identified the aging conditions of DMS and DHS and forecasted the need for major renova-tion or construction by 2010. The district has included a fu-ture building project in its annual long-range capital plan and has submitted Statements of Interest (SOI) each year for major capital projects. In 2009, the MSBA approved the SOI for the Chandler roof project, the work was completed on time and under budget, and the town received 40 percent reimburse-ment.

In July 2010, the MSBA reviewed both schools and invited the town to collaborate on a project. Although sooner than expected, the town has a significant opportunity to address two schools and recoup a large share of construction costs. Cur-rently, Duxbury has a favorable bond rating for major capital projects, the town has a comprehensive, current study of both buildings, construction costs are favorable, and the MSBA has the funding to proceed.

This is a positive beginning of a lengthy process. There will be many steps along the way to verify proper scope, de-sign criteria, and cost estimates and opportunities for public comment.

What’s the downside if we don’t do this? Both build-ings will continue to deteriorate due to their age, more dollars will be spent on repairs of old facilities, construction costs will climb, state funding may be diminished, the feasibility study will not be current, and the barriers to a quality education will increase. Major systems will fail and need replacement at a cost of $70 million for roofs, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, win-dows and doors, etc. for both schools. Piecemeal renovation will be more disruptive and students will have to be housed elsewhere. The MSBA has a clear policy about projects that do not receive community authorization; the district must start over to gain MSBA approval. Every year, there are dozens of projects looking for MSBA support so we risk waiting years for approval for any project.

I just got a new phone. I was happy to have this lifeline in perfect

working order, that is, until I checked out, and paid 15 percent sales tax! In fact, the phone was net $50, after a $50 rebate, advertised $100. I was aghast. I learned from the store owner that he paid $23,000 in back taxes and fines because of his failure to collect years of sales tax on the market val-ue of the phones he sells with phone usage contracts. I was charged tax on the market rate of $225. I was incredulous! Does the thrift shop tax at mar-ket value? My furniture sales didn’t get taxed at market val-ue. I probably wouldn’t shop if there wasn’t a sale –– OK, maybe going too far there. So, I called my state rep, Dan Web-ster, who has always promised no new taxes, and I asked him, “Do you know about this? You need to do something.”

He said, “I know about it and I have acted.” He filed an amendment to the 2011 budget to stop this practice and it got voted down by the majority. And he said, he will keep at it –– he won’t let it drop. He said there were two other store

owners in his district that this has happened to. He said he has forged support for this is-sue in the state house, and they will be back next year. I know he will keep at it because he has a long record of keeping his word – no votes for the alcohol tax and the increased sales tax. He has repeatedly voted to keep the income tax at 5 percent –– reinforcing the vote the people of Massachu-setts made in 2000. While the majority of legislators have refused to listen to the major-ity of their constituents on this issue, my state rep hasn’t. He has a long record of keeping his word – and being com-

mitted. I asked him about his voting record since I had him on the phone – and he said the first six years he had a 100 per-cent voting record. His total eight year voting record – 99 percent.

While improvement is needed in our state – change isn’t always the answer. We cannot afford to have these core values lost. A man of his word does not need to be changed and I am hopeful that residents of Duxbury’s pre-cincts 2, 3, 4 and 5 will con-tinue this honorable record for our representation.

Webster strong against new taxes ————

Hardly a ‘favorite son’ ———

In response to an opinion letter, titled “Elect a Favorite Son,” it is interesting to note, your “favorite son” spent his formative years outside of Duxbury. He attended high

school at a private high school in Belmont. He was also a long term resident of Hull. He served on the Board of Selectmen in Hull from 1999-2002. He ran and lost for state representative for the Third Plymouth District, which represents the town of Hull. He moved to Duxbury in 2002. I would hardly call this “favorite son” status.

Duxbury needs the positive energy and presence of its own

Josh Cutler representing it on Beacon Hill. Having been born here in Duxbury, and as the former editor of the Clipper, Josh knows this town and what makes it the special place we all call home. He will be a pres-ence here in town and look out for our interests in a way no one

else can. This is not a partisan issue, it’s a town issue because Josh is willing to work with whomever it takes to get the job done for his town, as well, of course, for the other towns he will represent. His background in business provides him the experience he will need to help out small businesses, helping to boost the economy and to work to strengthen our state budget

without raising taxes. As he re-cently said: “new taxes are not the answer and I will work with the majority party to prevent that from reoccurring.” Please come out to vote on Nov. 2 and help get Josh Cutler elected as Duxbury’s precinct 2-5 state representative!

Cutler will bring positive energy —————

What qualities do you look for in someone who

provides a service to your family? Commitment? Acces-sibility? Honesty? Expertise? Follow-through? All of those, of course – and more. So what kinds of qualities do you look for in a state representative? We’d say those same qualities.

Duxbury is extremely fortu-nate to have the opportunity to elect a representative with all those excellent qualities –– and more! –– to serve our town. Josh Cutler is committed to working for us –– whether we are students, seniors, parents, veterans, or business people –– as a full-time, dedicated state

representative. He is invested in solutions for our community because he is part of our com-munity. Josh Cutler is about problem-solving, not partisan-ship. Please join us in voting Josh Cutler into office on Nov. 2. Thank you.

Cutler has qualities we need in a representative

A vote for Josh Cut-ler for state rep. is a vote for Duxbury.

With Josh at the Statehouse, Duxbury will, at last, and for the first time, be represented by a Duxbury citizen.

Josh is responsible, and an independent thinker with great integrity and energy who will vote the issues and not the party.

Josh has plans to introduce bills to reform State Govern-ment and make it more trans-parent. Josh supports expand-ing the ”bottle bill.” Another goal, especially for Duxbury, is the realigning of precincts so that all of Duxbury’s six pre-cincts have the same rep., as it was 10 years ago, before the

precincts were politically ger-rymandered.

As a fellow member of Duxbury’s Alternate Energy Committee, I can vouch for Josh’s ability to work with town government and to take efforts to remedy situations in need of improvement. Josh proactively seeks the facts needed to make decisions.

Here are two, of many, firsthand observations:

1. The day before paving the “WWI Memorial,” Josh realized that there was no elec-trical infrastructure planned for future lighting. Josh quickly ar-ranged for the conduits. These were in place the next day be-fore the paving. As a side note to this, the AEC will explore

solar-powered lighting for the memorial.

2. Josh took the initiative and borrowed an infrared cam-era from Sustainable South Shore to investigate heat loss at the old and new town halls. Josh learned how to use the camera and organized town of-ficials, myself, and the press to be present for the filming.

Josh has clearly demon-strated that he can get things done.

I urge you to think inde-pendently and cast your vote on Nov. 2 for Duxbury’s own Josh Cutler.

Questions with the candidates: State rep.

Two of the areas of the state bud-get that are underfunded are local aid and the courts. Lo-

cal Aid is one of our most important state programs. During 2006, I joined Governor Romney in uncapping state lottery funds and reworking the state’s education fund-ing formula, which resulted in historic lev-els of local aid. Unfortunately, this always is the first area of the budget that the Dem-

ocratic majority seeks to cut during difficult economic times. Bea-con Hill should send your hard-earned tax dollars back to you, so local services such as education, police and fire, senior cen-ters and other impor-

tant local programs are funded. When the state sends money back to cities and towns, you have the most direct impact on how your money is spent. We have seen time and again that the state legislature is inca-pable of responsibly spending your money. To the extent that the people have direct input into state spending, the legislature should encourage, rather than discourage, this practice.

The state’s court system is also woe-fully underfunded. Far too often, Beacon Hill forgets that the courts are a co-equal branch of government. It is important that the citizens of the Commonwealth have direct and adequate access to justice. Trial court budgets have recently been reduced by $73.1 million. These cuts have serious-ly jeopardized our access to a basic gov-ernment service.

Like all areas of government, the courts will have to make sacrifices; how-ever their budgets should not be cut to the point where they cannot adequately ful-

fill their constitutional role. Far too often, the Democratic super-majority has held the taxpayer hostage, by cutting the most important programs rather than turning to innovative thinking that results in cost sav-ings to other budget areas. This course of action will have less of an impact on the vast majority of our citizens.

Part 2: In order to help stop the state legislature’s insatiable appetite for spend-ing, we need to restructure the way state government operates. I believe there are several ways that this can be accom-plished.

There must be a comprehensive over-haul of the Bay State’s quasi-public author-ities. There are currently more than 50 of these agencies in Massachusetts and they are largely unaccountable to the taxpayer. We need to reduce drastically the number of these offices; they lack transparency and they account for 15,000 public employees statewide. We also must look at reforming the massive health and human services bu-reaucracy that provides a host of social ser-vices in our state. There are 17 state agen-cies that oversee dozens of local offices to administer these services. These programs account for a majority of our multi-billion dollar state budget. This is yet another area in desperate need of consolidation and reform. Finally, we must streamline the Commonwealth’s burdensome licens-ing agencies. There are over 100 entities that administer registrations and permits. It would be prudent to consolidate these offices under a single licensing authority. This will reduce the number of state em-ployees with duplicate responsibilities and eliminate redundant administrative proce-dures.

This week’s questionIn the weeks leading up to the state election, the Clip-

per will be asking questions of the candidates running for state representative for the Sixth and 12th Plym-outh districts. This week’s question follows:

Part 1: What state programs do you feel are underfunded? Please state why these areas are important and what specifically you would do to increase their budgets. Part 2: Identify some

areas in the state budget where you feel savings could be found or cuts could be made. Please ex-

plain why, and how you would make cuts.

As much as we may want to increase funding for impor-tant programs, right now we

need to control spending and tighten our belts just as voters have done in their own households and small businesses. More-over, I am of the belief that we don’t need new spending, we need smarter spending.

My priorities are –– and will always be –– fully funding local aid to ensure that our schools and town services get the support they need, and fulfilling our ob-ligation to provide

human services for our seniors, veterans and disabled citizens. Regrettably, both of these have dispropor-tionately borne the brunt of recent budget cuts, in part because our current legislators, both Democrat and Republican, have been too afraid to tackle sacred cows and special interests.

As your next state representative I won’t be afraid to do either. My philosophy is simple: We need a state government that is both compassionate and cost-effective.

Part 2: There are many areas in the state budget that deserve scrutiny and a fresh eye. Running a small business, I know what’s it’s like to live within a bud-get and make tough spending decisions. The numbers are bigger, but the principle is the same when it comes to our state bud-get.

Some specific areas I would look to for savings include eliminating the governor’s Washington D.C. office, putting a halt to subsidizing private zoos, tackling pension reform and capping maximum benefits, and scrutinizing our tax expenditure budget so we’re not handing out tax breaks to corpo-rations that don’t live up to their promises or take their jobs out of state.

I would also put a stop to the practice of giving state legislators taxpayer funds in the form of “per-diems” for commuting to work. For instance our current representa-tive has pocketed more than $15,000 of our money just to drive up to the Statehouse. That’s on top of the free parking, office sti-pend and base salary we also foot the bill for. As your next state representative I’ll drive to work on my own dime.

Mr. Cutler is the Democratic nomi-nee for the 6th Plymouth District

Over the past four years we have cut many worthy programs by 3 billion dollars a year.

Throughout the recession we have worked very hard to preserve our investment in public school education. Because of our commitment to education, Massachusetts

ranks number one in the nation in math and English. How-ever, the budget for the 29 campus sys-tem of public higher education was cut by 15 percent in the cur-rent fiscal year. That cut has put pressure

on college tuitions and fees for students who can least afford those increases. Although our investments in this area are key to our economic com-petitiveness, the cost of that education has increased five times faster than median in-comes over the last 30 years. Public higher education leads to full employment, pro-vides a catalyst for economic expansion and produces a trained workforce which is attractive to businesses that work or wish to relocate here.

Massachusetts was one of the first states to emerge from the global recession. We are enjoying monthly job growth that is the envy of competing states. Yet, we have reduced our investment in the very area that makes education affordable and our state competitive in the global econ-omy. While I will fight to increase higher education funding in the FY12 budget, I recognize the need to streamline the higher education system to make it efficient and affordable. Savings that could be garnered from a more streamlined, cohesive system should be reallocated back into that system to benefit students and taxpayers by lower tuitions and a better return on investment.

Part 2: As a former business execu-tive, I know firsthand the importance of reorganization and reform as a way of re-maining efficient without compromising quality. During every budget cycle, a fair analysis of potential savings and cuts must be considered. However, additional cuts in services for our taxpaying citizens will deal with the symptoms and not the under-lying problem: that of illegal immigration and its impact on the state budget.

Because few in Congress are willing to address this important issue, the states are left to assume the financial burden of inaction. The presence of illegal immi-grants willing to work for very low wages has caused our economy to decline, de-pressed wages, and prevented many citi-zens from finding work. Additionally, our citizens spend millions of dollars annually to provide direct and indirect benefits to illegal immigrants including public hous-ing, health care, emergency medical ser-vices, law enforcement, judicial process-es, incarceration, and educational services at no cost to them. Courts are ruling that the states must provide illegal immigrants benefits our citizens have worked and paid for.

Without Congressional action, a Con-stitutional Convention must be called by the nation’s State Legislatures to amend our constitution with respect to our coun-try’s immigration policy. Positive, mean-ingful immigration reform will provide a clear pathway to citizenship, strengthen our economy, and significantly reduce the cost of services provided by the Common-wealth.

Mr. Calter is the Democratic nominee and incumbent for the 12th Plymouth Dis-trict

The main program that is un-funded on Beacon Hill is re-form, reform and more reform.

Once true reforms, in areas like pension benefits, are implemented then you can start to focus on real impact programs such as veterans’ benefits, education, and senior services. Until there’s reform, there are no underfunded programs. Implementing real

pension reform will result in millions saved for taxpayers. The current pension system is unafford-able, unaccountable and unsustainable. The fact that tax-payers and future pensioners face an

unfunded liability that exceeds $22 billion didn’t happen by accident. Reforms must be enacted now to control costs and elimi-nate overly generous payouts for state workers. When elected, the only thing I will expand is reform.

Part 2: One major area for savings would be to cut the 2,000 unnecessary new jobs with lavish benefits that Deval Patrick has created. Governor Deval Pat-rick, who campaigned on a platform to fight business as usual on Beacon Hill, gave one of his earliest political support-ers a $175,000-a-year job as an assistant director at a state bonding authority. It was a position that had sat vacant for more than a dozen years. Ironically, he gave that same

person’s spouse a position on the state’s Industrial Accident Board, a job that pays $113,000 a year. Not only are these sala-ries a drain on operating budgets, these jobs also sharply increasing state pension liabilities. These are just two of thousands of unnecessary appointments the Patrick administration has wastefully created. It is a symptom of the corrupt culture on Bea-con Hill. The only way to change that cul-ture is to elect candidates without ties to the good ole-boy network.

The other night, I watched in the in-terview with Obama’s Auntie Zeituni. Her comment, “The system took advantage of me” is indicative of a major costly sys-tem failure at the expense of the taxpay-ers. I support the Perry Amendment, and I would require proof of legal residency for state benefits. Applicants applying for state services should be required to verify their legal status in this country. It is only fair that recipients of state services should be required to prove to state agencies they are in this country legally before obtain-ing government benefits. Currently, there is no uniform policy that requires the state to verify the legal status for those apply-ing for all state services including public housing, unemployment benefits, workers compensation, and welfare. This new re-quirement could produce significant sav-ings considering the amount of money the state spends each year on these programs.

Oct. 5, 1972: The baby boom made an impact on Duxbury schools in the 1970’s. Overcrowding in the primary and middle schools forced multiple classrooms to be formed in the cafeterias. Children ate lunch at their desks in the primary school and four lunch periods were held in the middle school. Some middle school teachers held their classes in the library. The high school was on an extended school day with the first bus arriving at 7:15 a.m. and the last bus leaving at 4:15 p.m. Ninth graders began their classes at 10 a.m. and some sports held practices at 8 a.m. before school.

Michael James Glynn was the fa-ther of Rev. Msgr.

William Glynn, who purchased a brick at the World War One Memorial in his father’s mem-ory. Many in Duxbury know Rev. Msgr. Glynn from his years of work as a priest at Holy Family Church.

Michael James Glynn was born in 1890 on his family’s farm in Abbyknockmoy village and parish in County Galway, Ireland. Abbyknockmoy is known for the nearby ruins of the 12th century Cistercian Ab-bey, established with the Kings of Connacht as its benefactors. The Abbey was the burial site of King Cathal Crobhdearg Ua Conchobair and contains fine examples of medieval wall paintings and sculpture. It was formerly part of the kingdom

of the Soghain of Connacht. The Glynn farmhouse still

exists, although the agricul-tural fields that surrounded it have been sold. The farm-house has continually been occupied by Glynn fam-ily members and today is the home of Christopher Glynn, a cousin of Rev. Msgr. William Glynn.

Michael Glynn immi-grated to the United States in 1911 and originally settled in Cambridge, Mas-sachusetts. Michael married Mary Hurley and later they moved with their four children from Cambridge to Dorchester. There they lived in two succes-sive homes before finally mov-ing to Dorchester Lower Mills and purchasing a three family home. The Glynn family lived on one level and rented the other two.

Michael and Mary Glynn proudly witnessed two of their sons join the Catholic priest-hood. William’s career brought him to Duxbury while his brother Jack would join the U.S. Navy and serve as a Bish-op in Vietnam.

Like many who lived in the city at that time, the Glynn family used the Boston Elevat-ed Rail Road for years to get around the city. In 1950 Father William Glynn would become the first in his family to pur-chase an automobile.

Michael Glynn was em-ployed by the Boston Elevated Rail Road his entire working life. His worked as a driver on the Fields Corner to Har-vard Square route which, in later years, was extended from

Harvard Square to Ashmont. Elevated drivers worked long hours at fairly low pay but he was finally able to retire at the age of sixty-three.

Michael Glynn retired on May 1, 1953. That afternoon, after finishing his last run, he walked home to find that his wife Mary had died that same day.

Father Glynn describes his father, Michael, as a “quiet man.” He never spoke of his military service in World War One. He knows that his father enlisted and served in France after war was declared in 1917 but, beyond the visual evidence of a photograph showing him in uniform, no other record was kept or even discussed.

Rev. Msgr. Glynn is now the only surviving member of his immediate family. His sis-ter, Mary, and brothers, Jim and Jack, are gone.

His father, Michael James Glynn, died in 1969 as quietly as he had lived.

Eighty-eight students at Duxbury High School have earned the designation of AP Scholar by the College Board in recognition of their excep-tional achievement on the college-level Advanced Place-ment Exams.

The College Board’s Ad-vanced Placement Program offers students the opportunity to take challenging college-level courses while still in high school, and to receive college credits advanced placement, or both for successful per-formance on the AP exams. About 18 percent of the more than 1.8 million high school students worldwide who took AP exams performed at a suf-ficiently high level to also earn an AP Scholar Award.

Students took AP exams in May 2010 after complet-ing challenging college-level courses at their high schools. The College Board recognizes several levels of achievement based on student’s perfor-mance on AP exams.

Three students qualified for the National AP Scholar Award by earning an aver-age score of 4 or higher on a 5-point scale on all AP exams taken, and scores of 4 or high-er on eight or more of these exams. These students, from the Class of 2010, are Laura McLaughlin, Catherine Pattin-son, and Matthew Scorza.

Twenty-six students quali-fied for AP Scholar with Dis-tinction Award by earning an

average score of at least 3.5 on all AP exams taken and scores of 3 or higher on five or more of these exams. These stu-dents, from the Class of 2010 are: Gregory Auda, Jenna Bahr, Mary Blanchard, Jeffrey Blout, Stephen Day, Phillip Della Noce, Duncan Edgar, Hannah Ellis, Abigail Gibbs, Thomas Guilfoile, Ryan Hen-drickson, Grace Kelso, Al-exander Kosharek, Therese Kozmiski, Paige Locke, Laura McLaughlin, Lauren Mechak, Cassandra Nissi, Catherine Pattinson, Benjamin Potash, Andria Ronne, Matthew Scor-za, Jillian Smith, Anne Steele, Benjamin White and in the Class of 2011, Maheen Rana.

Sixteen students qualified for the AP Scholar with Honor Awards by earning an average grade of at least 3.25 on all AP exams taken and grades of 3 or higher on four or more of these exams. These students from the Class of 2010 are: Zach-ary Benoit, Daniel Brockwell, Jenica Casey, Nickolas Cline, Cameron Crowell, Virginia Desmery, Krista DeVellis, Christopher Kimball, Nicho-las Lyons, Marley McDermott, Meghan Nelson, Elizabeth O’Toole, Ryan Piesco, Alexis Schupp, Jaclyn Trevesani, and Victoria Woleyko.

You must have seen the press release in the Sept. 22 Clipper. Who

could miss the sparkling faces of two Afghan girls from the Zabuli School in Deh’Subz, near Kabul? School Founder Razia Jan will swing through Duxbury on this year’s annual visit, but there’s been a change of plans. The Boston fundraiser scheduled for Oct. 7

has been cancelled. Instead, Razia will be right here in Duxbury this weekend. Sunday, Oct 10, from 3:30-5:30 p.m., Razia’s Ray of Hope Foundation will host a coffee, tea, and dessert event

at the Duxbury Senior Center. She will not be accompanied by Nadia, a Zabuli School fourth grader, who was unable to obtain a visa in time. Razia explained that the “pipeline” for U.S. visas for Afghans is very long. Razia will, no doubt, fill in Nadia’s story, in her absence.

Don’t be too surprised if the girl’s name is somewhat different from what I’ve written – though it may be the same. Security, confidentiality,

They started the afternoon without their starting QB, their leading scorer, their start-ing running back, and one of their captains, yet the Dragons didn’t seem to miss a beat in manhandling Taunton, 35-7, on Saturday afternoon in Dux-bury.

The win moves Duxbury to 4-0 on the season after completing a non-league set of games that figured to be the toughest stretch of 2010 schedule.

If Patriot League foes haven’t noticed, this is a Dux-bury team with plenty of depth and they showed it in the win over Taunton, serving notice to the rest of the league that the title is going to have to pass through Duxbury.

Junior Matt O’Keefe moved in at QB, replacing a banged up Kane Haffey, and

directed the Dragons to a 21-0 halftime lead with his arm and his running ability, completing 7 passes for 138 yards and a TD, while carrying the ball 10 times for 52 yards.

Sophomore Jon Hurvitz also saw significant playing time, getting most of the of-fensive snaps while junior running back Henry Buonagu-rio took it easy on the sidelines with turf toe and was held out only to be used in emergency situations. Hurvitz made the most of his playing time with 70 yards on 8 carries, includ-ing a 32-yard TD run right up the middle in the third quarter that put a nail in Taunton’s coffin to make it 28-0.

Despite Duxbury’s offen-sive production, the pressure was on the Dragon defense, led by junior linebacker Max Randall, that had to contend with stopping Taunton star Cabrinni Goncalves and his breakaway speed.

They did an excellent job

on the game’s opening series, as Goncalves was limited to just six yards in Taunton’s sev-en-play drive that ended at the Duxbury 38 on a failed fourth-down attempt.

It was now O’Keefe’s turn to set the Dragons’ offense loose and he wasted little time hitting junior Andrew Buron for 24 yards down to the Taun-ton 38. Feeling confident that this would be his day, O’Keefe called a series of keepers, the first being for 13 yards and a first down at the Taunton 25.

A 12-yard completion to junior Don Webber put the ball at the six before Hurvitz pounded it down to the one, setting up a one-yard TD keep-er by O’Keefe. Tucker Hannon came on for the PAT and Dux-

and family modesty often call us to use fictional names when telling personal stories. The same is true in Afghanistan. I altered the names of the family who hosted me on my 2008 Clipper trip to Kabul, and kept most of the family pictures out of the paper, especially pictures of the women. Yet I was wholly embraced by the family, and accepted like a cousin or a brother. There were no burqas worn inside the house, but photos of older daughters or, God forbid, my host’s wife, flashing across the world from the Clipper’s Web site would be an insult, and dangerous.

Afghanistan lives in layers of meaning and culture, many of which are oddly hidden from Western view. Kabul boasts great swathes of green spaces, including massive shade trees that must be many decades old. Despite the killing cold of many winters during the worst of the warfare, these trees were never touched, never cut for firewood. Have you ever seen them on the evening news? Not likely. Kabul’s legendary dust cannot be ignored – like Texas tumbleweeds and Arizona sand storms – but the green spaces never seem to make the papers. They are a hidden layer.

The New York Times’ Jenny Nordberg recently reported on a widely-known (by Afghans) practice of dressing girls as boys, especially in families without sons. Western feminists may see this as bizarre, but the girls often jump at the chance, since it gives them the chance to be out and about, learn cricket and football (soccer), and help their mothers and sisters take care of public business in conservative areas. They are called, in Dari, “bocha posh,” which roughly means “dressed as a boy.” The 2003 international film “Osama” – no connection to the terrorist – portrayed the practice at its tragic worst. Nordberg’s article shows an empowered side to the practice, featuring Afghan Member of Parliament Azita Rafaat, whose daughter relishes the opportunity. Rafaat was herself bacha posh when she was a child, and said, “I think it made me more energetic. It made me more strong.”

Afghanistan lives in layers. How could it take ten years of intensive American contact for this layer to see the sun? I chuckled when I read the story and remembered one or two buzz-cut girls I saw at the Zabuli school. Many bocha posh slip back and forth, going to school as a girl while handling family chores (and cricket) as a boy.

A recent NPR story by Jim Wildman and Renee Montagne surprised me with another layer. No women from the very conservative Badakhshan Province could ever go to Kabul, train as midwives, and return to save the lives of women and babies, could they? They can, and they do when they are selected by the village elders themselves. Each village chooses its own, brightest young women to train, come home, and serve in this desperately needed role. Veils fly free in the wind, layers of energy and strength are uncovered, and Western eyes are surprised. When Afghan voices are heard, another layer finds hope. All we need to do is listen.

Girls lacrosseGirls Indoor Lacrosse

Registration opens Oct. 15, go to duxburylacrosse.org to register. Indoor for grades 3-8 will be held at the South Shore Field House in Pem-broke from Nov. 29 through March 9, 2011. Please visit the Web site for more de-tails.


The boys’ soccer team got back on the winning track last week with victories over Sci-tuate (2-1) and Hanover (2-0) that raised its record to 3-2-2, putting them over the .500 mark for the first time this year.

The Dragons have three home games this week and can put themselves in solid contention for the league title before travelling to Franklin for a non-league game with the Panthers on Columbus Day.

Senior Zach Gino picked a good time to score his first goals of the year, as the Drag-ons needed both tallies to up-end Scituate (5-2-1).

Nursing a one-goal margin at halftime on Gino’s first goal 15 minutes in, the Dragons expanded it to two when Gino scored again roughly 15 min-

utes into the second half.The Duxbury defense was

immense in helping goalkeep-er Justin Marino hold the Sail-ors at bay until late in the game when Scituate’s Peter Martin closed the gap to one. Marino ended up with six saves in the miserable weather.

Mother Nature was far more generous on Thursday when the Indians came to town, but both teams turned out to be stingy defensively as the first half ended in a 0-0 tie with stiff breezes.

Senior captain Mike Ga-brielli had two good scoring chances to start the second half, but both shots missed wide of the post with Hanover netminder Patrick Hannigan out of position on the first at-tempt and the second shot sail-ing far and wide.

At the 23:50 mark, Dux-bury finally broke the dead-lock when senior captain Brett Sahlberg came barreling down the left wing, sliding a pass across to junior Chase Mohrman whose shot deflect-ed off the hands of Hannigan and found its way into the cor-ner of the net.

The Dragons limited Ha-

nover to few serious shots on net the rest of the way, while also getting some breathing room when junior Fenton Mc-Call buried a shot from 20 yards out with 4:11 left in the game for a more comfortable 2-0 lead.

Despite the two wins, Coach John Tocci still isn’t convinced he has seen his

team’s best effort.“We had to adjust our for-

mation up front once we re-alized it was too compacted with three forwards up there,” said Tocci. “That first 40 min-utes we played in the opener against Canton was the best 40 minutes of soccer I have seen us play in the four years I have been here. But since then we

have been getting B and B+ performances, and right now we are playing to the level of our opponents. We need to play consistent soccer, and we need all 11 players playing to-gether at once.”

Thursday afternoon the Dragons will host Quincy at 4 p.m.


After a pair of excruciating 1-0 losses to Whitman-Hanson and Hingham, the Lady Drag-ons rebounded with wins over Scituate (3-0) and Hanover (3-0) last week to raise their record to 5-2.

Senior co-captain Melissa Gavin got back in her scor-ing groove by adding a pair against the Sailors, while co-captain Emily Gallagher add-ed the third goal of the game

for Duxbury to support the shutout goaltending of Emily Brooke.

Things weren’t quite as easy when they faced peren-nial foe Hanover on Thursday.

After blowing a 2-0 lead with the wind in the second half, Duxbury relied on Gavin once again to break a 2-2 tie with just over two minutes re-maining for the 3-2 win.

This Saturday, the girls will host their Kicking For a Cure Tournament to raise money for breast cancer awareness. The doubleheader will feature Cohasset vs. Scituate in game one at 2 p.m., followed by Duxbury vs. Bourne at 4 p.m.

bury held a 7-0 lead with 40 seconds left in the first quarter.

An exchange of fruit-less possessions followed O’Keefe’s score, giving the visitors great field position at their own 43. A great defensive play by Adam Martin broke up a third-down pass attempt, setting the stage for a blocked punt by junior Brody Zisko, who broke up the middle and smothered the Tiger punt at the 34-yard line with 8:08 left in the half.

O’Keefe put on his run-ning shoes again, rambling 14 yards to the Taunton 20. Two plays later O’Keefe aired it out again, as he hit senior receiver Christian Spoor for 17 yards in the right corner of the end zone for a 14-0 lead after Hannon added the extra point.

Facing a 14-point deficit, the Tigers needed to get back in the game quickly after con-secutive four-yard losses that included a sack by sophomore Henry Narlee. On third down junior Andrew Padula stepped up and picked off (the first of his two interceptions) a DJ Gomes pass at the Taunton 36 giving the Dragons excellent field position with five minutes remaining.

Completions to Buron and Webber, sandwiched around a holding penalty, put the ball at

the Taunton 23-yard line where O’Keefe made an ill-advised throw that was picked off by Matt Nunes to kill the drive at the 21.

Taunton’s three-headed op-tion offense was doing little to confuse the Duxbury defense and they were forced to punt with under two minutes to go in the half.

Junior DB Reilly Naton was back for the punt and the second he fielded it, he faked three Taunton defenders out of their shoes and exploded down the middle of the field, out-rac-ing the trailing defenders for 65 yards and a TD for a 21-0 lead with 1:23 left in the half.

It was all over after Hur-vitz’s 32-yard TD jaunt just three minutes into the third quarter made it 28-0. But the Tigers still insisted on running their option offense, and finally got Goncalves into the open field where he ripped off a 45-yard gain down to the Duxbury 22-yard line.

Four plays later Taunton had nothing to show for its ef-forts when sophomore Marshall McCarthy stopped Goncalves for a 2-yard loss on fourth down, giving the ball back to the Dragons.

A Hurvitz run and a 26-yard completion to Webber put the ball deep into Taunton ter-ritory where O’Keefe took it in again for an insurmountable 35-0 lead.

“This is a special group of kids,” said Coach Dave Maima-ron. “No matter who can’t play, we have someone who can step right in and hardly miss a beat. They are all cheering for each other and our goal right now is to get better every week and keep improving.”

The Dragons will get started on their Patriot League sched-ule this Friday night when they travel to Quincy to take on the Presidents at Veteran’s Memo-rial Stadium at 7 p.m.

On Sept. 26 at Duxbury Bay Maritime School, junior sailor Ian Ikeda placed fourth in his division of 50 laser sail-ors in the NESSA Single Hand-ed Championships (Healy Trophy), qualifying him for the High School Single-Hand-ed National Championships (Cressy Trophy).

Ikeda began sailing eight years ago, working his way up through the DBMS pro-gram to his current status as a respected high school sailing team member. Ikeda is also a varsity hockey goalie but says, “Sailing is definitely my favor-ite sport.” Ikeda hopes to con-tinue sailing in college.

The High School Single Handed National Champion-ships are on Oct. 30 and 31 at St. Pete’s Yacht Club in St. Petersburg, Florida. The com-petition will take place in fully rigged lasers: small, light-weight one-person sailboats approximately fourteen feet in length. Luckily for Ikeda, la-sers are his favorite boat to sail and his personal specialty. He

has been racing in the Laser Full Rig class for many years and commented, “If I could sail only lasers, I would.”

Ikeda will be heading to Florida with his mom, unac-companied by a coach, and hopes to make some friends on the water. Don’t think for a moment, though, that this means that Ikeda will ever take his eyes off the prize.

Racing in the most com-petitive junior laser race in the country is a challenging task, but Ikeda seems to be taking it in stride. “I’m looking for-ward to seeing how I stack up against the best sailors in the nation,” says Ikeda, while ac-knowledging that it will be a huge learning experience. “I’m just going to try my hardest.”

Junior Sailing Director of DBMS, Chris Lash, isn’t wor-ried. “With New England be-ing one of the stronger regions in high school sailing, Ian will have a good shot to finish in the top ten at nationals,” he said. It is clear that no matter the outcome, the experience will be a defining and benefi-cial one for Ikeda.

Ikeda qualifies for national sailing championships

Stature-wise, he may be the smallest kid on the DHS golf team. Put a club in his hand and he becomes a giant on the links, as he showed last week in tri-meet wins over Silver Lake (244-248) and Quincy (244-299) on the DYC course.

Sophomore Nick Drago was one of just two golfers to break 40 for both teams when he carded a 38 for low honors in the sweep, raising Duxbury’s record to 10-0 and qualifying them for the state tournament.

The following day Drago was one of six contributors when he fired a 42 in the Drag-ons 239-243 win over Pem-broke, the Titans first league loss and Duxbury’s 11th straight victory.

In the win Jonathan Stod-dard was the man of the day firing a 36 (8 pars) to lead the Dragons, while Stephan Krall’s 38 (6 pars) and James Magner’s 39 (6 pars) were good enough to beat all of Pembroke’s competitors. Cur-tis Owen (3 pars) and Cam Da-

ley (2 pars) shot rounds of 42 to close out the Duxbury win.

In a rare Saturday match-up at the Atlantic Country Club in Plymouth, the Dragons hosted a pair of high school power-houses in Barnstable and Con-cord-Carlisle and came away with a pair of wins: 235-247.

Stoddard led the charges with a round of 36 that in-cluded a birdie and seven pars, while Daley was two strokes behind at 38 with a pair of birdies and four pars.

Magner (6 pars), Bobby O’Brien (2 birds/2 pars), and Drago all finished with 40s, while Krall came in at 41 with five pars.

Sporting a 13-0 record pri-or to this week’s action, Coach Jack Stoddard says the reason for his team’s success is the fact they go eight deep.

“When one kid is going through a rough stretch, we have someone who can step right in and hardly miss a beat,” said the veteran coach. “Nick Drago has really come on as of late and Daley has been my biggest surprise. His score has pretty much counted in every match.”

As tournament time nears and a season-ending match is on the horizon with BC High, is there anything that has the coach worried with his team rolling along at 13-0?

“I can see these kids out there trying to hit the greens on par 5s in two shots, but right now I’m trying to get them to concentrate on hitting fairways and greens and keep-ing them under control.”

By Becky Blaeser special to tHe clipper

For a man who has achieved success in nearly everything he touches, it was a poi-gnant moment to see the tears stream down Paul Evans’ face.

Yet after capturing the club championship title again at DYC, Evans held his five-year-old grandson’s hand and accepted his award in front of friends and family. It was impossible to hold back the emotion.

“It was pretty exciting for me because I am so old,” said Evans, whose son, Peter, 45, served as caddy from start to finish. “I couldn’t believe that I had done it.”

As if winning the club championship at the age of 71 wasn’t impressive enough, this latest victory caps off six de-cades of outstanding play for Evans. Since his first victory in 1964, Evans has won the prestigious title at least once in every decade. He won three times in the 1960s, two in the 1970s, three in the 1980s, five in the 1990s and three in the 2000s.

“It was exciting because of all the decades that I have won, and I am not that good,” said Evans with a chuckle. “I mean that. I am playing at a six now and I struggle. This young man [Ned Devnew] that I played to-day was 75 yards by me each time. Where I would hit a 3 wood, he would hit a 5 iron.”

In the 36-hole champi-onship match, Evans faced off against 22-year-old Ned Devnew, a four handicap-per, who was a Boston Globe All-League selection while a student-athlete at Duxbury High School.

Despite his clear advan-tage off the tee and his strong iron game (he hit 15 greens in regulation during the morning 18 holes), Devnew found him-self all square with Evans head-ing into the afternoon round.

“Throughout the round, my son Peter kept telling me, ‘Dad, don’t try to hit it as far as him. Just play your game,’” said Evans. “I got up and down, I don’t want to tell you how many times.”

In the end, Evans used his experience to outlast Devnew by a score of 3 and 2. Leading up to that champi-

onship showdown, Evans had also found a way to knock off the defending club champion- David MacCallum.

In addition to playing golf, Evans has dedicated his time and efforts over the years to the game by serving as a rules official for MGA, NEGA and USGA events. He also served on the MGA’s Execu-tive Committee for many years before taking over as president in 1992 and 1993. He has also been a regular competitor in MGA Championship events (he qualified for Match Play at the Massachusetts Amateur Championship seven times), and in 2001, qualified for and competed in the U.S. Senior Amateur Championship.

“Golf has obviously been my life,” said Evans. “I con-tinue to love it and continue to do my refereeing each year. It is amazing how many great people you meet. In fact, I have gone to Florida for the last 22 years just to play golf with the same guys. We play 36 holes for four straight days and have a great time.”

While winning and offici-ating championships has been important to Evans, the memo-ries mean the most to the Dux-bury native.

Since he joined the club in 1963, Evans has en-joyed the company of so many friends including another past president of the MGA John Ar-nold. The two friends dominat-ed the club championship for nearly 11 years before a hot-shot young amateur Peter Tera-vainen came along and wowed the membership with his play before embarking on a profes-

sional golf career. “I have won it 16 times and

John has won it 12 times,” said Evans. “For 11 years in a row we played each other in the fi-nals.”

Along the way, Evans has also won the senior club cham-pionship an amazing 12 times. Interestingly, Evans was still getting over the sting of losing the 2010 senior club champi-onship the day before he took on Devnew in the 36-hole club championship final.

That loss soon became a distant memory, as Evans went on to win his 16th title hours later and celebrated with laughs and tears with his friends and family. It was a celebration of not just a match won, but of a lifetime of memories.

“Golf is where my friends are,” said Evans, when asked what the game means to him. “Golf is where my love is.”

TO INTERVENE, AND COMPETING

APPLICATIONS(September 3, 2010)

On August 9, 2010, FFP Mass 1, LLC filed an application for a preliminary permit, pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal Power Act (FPA), proposing to study the feasibility of the Cape Cod Tidal Energy Project to be located in the Cape Cod Canal and a portion of the Hog Island Channel, between Cape Cod Bay and Buzzards Bay, in Plymouth and Barnstable Counties, Massachusetts. The sole purpose of a preliminary permit, if issued, is to grant the permit holder priority to file a license application during the permit term. A preliminary permit does not authorize the permit holder to perform any land-disturbing activities or otherwise enter upon lands or waters owned by others without the owners’ express permission.

The proposed project will consist of the following: (1) 2,000 hydrokinetic tidal devices consisting of a turbine blade assembly and an integrated 10-kilowatt generator for a combined capacity of 20 megawatts; (2) a mooring system; (3) submersible cables connecting the turbine-generating units to a shore station; (4) an approximately 15-mile-long transmission line connecting the shore station to an existing distribution line; and (5) appurtenant facilities. The estimated annual generation of the Cape Cod Tidal Energy Project would be 53 gigawatt-hours.
