In just a short time, The Island Creek Oyster Festival has grown from humble be-ginnings to the social event of the fall season, and a powerful force for charity in Duxbury and beyond.

The festival didn’t even start out in the fall. It was orig-inally held at the beginning of the oyster harvesting season, rather than toward the end.

“It was initially held in the spring as a way to bless the upcoming oyster season,” said

Shore Gregory of Island Creek Oysters.

Since Duxbury Bay Mari-time School launched the ACCESSAIL program for disabled sailors in 2001, dedi-cated and enthusiastic vol-unteers have been key to its success. The spirited 2010 ACCESSAIL team, under the direction of program director Gene Orosz, made the annual ACCESSAIL regatta on Aug. 21 a truly special day for the 26 sailors and 12 volunteers who participated. It didn’t hurt that Mother Nature came

through with absolutely per-fect weather to put the cherry on top of a day of great sailing, great food and lots of laughs on Duxbury Bay.

The day ended with the awarding of medals to sailors and a surprise presentation by DBMS Executive Director Chuck Leonard of the 2010 DBMS Starfish Volunteer award to ACCESSAIL Direc-tor Gene Orosz. Few people involved with ACCESSAIL were aware that Orosz has di-rected the program for the past

Draco visits Magical Moon Foundation

Draco the Dragon made a surprise visit to the Magi-

cal Moon Foundation recently to cheer up some sick children as they bravely battle terminal illnesses.

The Magical Moon Foun-dation was started nine years ago by Donna Green, who owns the Magical Moon Farm in Marshfield. The purpose of the foundation is to nurture and empower children with cancer, according to Green.

“It’s basically a network of children who come to us through each other,” she said.

On the five-acre farm, which serves as a retreat and healthy-living center, children and their families can come and take a tour. At the end of the tour, they are “knighted” in a ceremony with a real sword, where they also pick out a cause they will fight for to make the world a better place.

“We want to put a little fair-ness back in their lives,” Green said. “It makes them feel stron-ger rather than weaker.”

The foundation has helped about 100 children over the years and currently has 28-30 “knights.”

It costs about $1,000 to sponsor a knighting ceremony, according to Green. For more information call 781-837-1618 or visit themagicalmoonfoun-dation.org.

Due to a vacancy on the current board, the Planning Board is soliciting interested residents for an appointment to the Planning Board until the next scheduled election in March 2011. Interested resi-dents should send a cover let-ter by Sept. 20, expressing their desire for the position and a résumé highlighting qualifica-tions and their availability for

the position to: Duxbury Plan-ning Board, 878 Tremont St., Duxbury, MA 02332.

The Planning Board is a seven-member elected board that regularly meets on the sec-ond and fourth Monday eve-nings (except holidays) at 7 p.m. at Town Hall. The duration of meetings varies depending on the number of public hear-ings and amount of other busi-

ness on each agenda. The Plan-ning Board is responsible for applications under the Subdivi-sion Control Law (MGL Chap-ter 41), performs administrative site plan reviews under Zoning Bylaws Section 615, and serves as the Special Permit Granting Authority for selective special permits under MGL Chapter 40A per the bylaws.

The official appointment will be made via a joint meet-ing of the Planning Board and Board of Selectmen scheduled for Sept. 27. Any questions can be addressed to the Planning Director, Thomas A. Broadrick, at 781-934-1100 x148 during Town Hall business hours.

Standish Humane Society’s Benefit Walk For Animals

Standish Humane Society announces its 16th annual Folk and Fur Fest “Doggiepawlooza” on Sunday, Sept. 19, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Wompatuck State Park on Union Street in Hingham.

Liz Raven, radio personality from WATD 95.9 FM, will be the emcee and host for Folk and Fur Fest. Doggiepawlooza kicks off with a 3-mile walk on a paved and handicapped-accessible route through the beautiful state forest. A free T-shirt will be given for every registration donation of $50 or more. Donations over $250 will receive a specially inscribed garment. Awards will be given to the top three fundraisers.

The walk is Standish Humane Society’s main benefit and the donations received support an active spay/neuter program and a no-kill cat shelter. Last year Standish subsidized nearly $50,000 in spay and neuter services for over 1,000 cats and dogs.

Best of all, if your heart and home is looking for a new pet, Standish Humane Society and other local and regional animal rescue groups will be on hand to discuss breed specific traits and adoption options. Rescue groups attending include: BONES Beagle Rescue; East Coast Italian Greyhound; German Shep-herd Rescue of NE; New England Brittany Rescue and New England Rottweiler Rescue.

For more information on how you can become involved in the event or to request a registration form, call 781-834-4663 or visit our Web site, standishhumanesociety.com/html/events.html. Donations can be mailed to: Standish Humane Society, P.O. Box 634, Duxbury, MA 02331.

At the request of the Duxbury Har-bormaster and the

Duxbury Bay Management Commission, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, New Eng-land District, is proposing to perform maintenance dredg-ing of the Duxbury Harbor Federal navigation project in Duxbury.

The Federally authorized project provides for a channel, eight feet deep at Mean Lower Low Water (MLLW) and 100 feet wide leading from the Easterly Channel in Duxbury Bay to near the Town Wharf, and a 21-acre anchorage basin eight feet deep at MLLW. The dredged channel is L-shaped extending nearly due south from the basin for more than one-half mile and then east-erly for almost one-third of a mile until it intersects with the natural channel (Easterly Channel).

The harbor provides shore facilities for the 32 miles of shoreline on Duxbury Bay and the 2,000-plus commercial and recreational vessels moored in the bay. The project was last maintained in 1996/1997 when about 250,000 cubic yards of material were removed and placed in open water at the Cape Cod Bay Disposal Site.

“Coastal storms and natu-ral shoaling have reduced available depths to less than two feet in the northeastern corner of the anchorage and less than six feet in some areas of the channel,” said Project Manager Dubán Montoya, of the Corps’ New England Dis-trict, Programs/Project Man-agement Division. “The pro-posed work involves dredging an area of about 26 acres in Duxbury Bay, which will produce a volume of about 135,000 cubic yards of sandy and silty material to restore the project to its authorized di-mensions.”

The proposed work will be done by a private contrac-tor, using a mechanical dredge

(clamshell bucket) and scows, under contract to the Govern-ment. The dredge will remove the material from the shoal ar-eas of the Federal project and tow it to the Cape Cod Bay Disposal Site (CCBDS) for disposal. The material under-went physical, chemical and biological testing and has been deemed suitable for placement at the CCBDS.

Alternate disposal options that have been considered in-clude beach disposal and up-land disposal. The majority of the material is fine silt (not suitable for beach nourish-ment). The lack of a suitable upland disposal site also elim-inated other alternatives from consideration. The dredging work is expected to take three to four months to be completed in the year or years that Feder-al funds become available.

The Corps has assessed the effects dredging is likely to have on Essential Fish Hab-itat and has determined that effects will be short-term and localized and that there will be no significant impacts on designated fisheries resources. The Corps is consulting with the National Marine Fisheries Service and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to ensure that the proposed activity will not significantly affect any species or critical habitat designated as endangered or threatened pursuant to the Endangered Species Act.

An Environmental Assess-ment for the dredging of Dux-bury Harbor Federal Naviga-tion Project with disposal at the Cape Cod Bay Disposal Site is being prepared and will be available on request.

The proposed project is being coordinated with the fol-lowing federal, tribal, state and local agencies: U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, U.S. Envi-ronmental Protection Agency, the National Marine Fisher-ies Service, the Massachusetts Office of Coastal Zone Man-agement, the Massachusetts

Department of Environmental Protection, the Massachusetts Historic Preservation Office, the Narragansett Indian Tribe, the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe, the Wampanoag Tribe of Gay Head, the Duxbury Harbormaster and Duxbury Bay Management Commis-sion.

The public notice for this proposed work, with more de-tailed information, is available for review on the Corps Web site at nae.usace.army.mil. Select “navigation” and then “public notices.”

Public comments on this proposed work should be forwarded no later than Oct. 4 to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, New England Dis-trict, Programs/Project Man-agement Division (Attn: Mr. Dubán Montoya), 696 Virgin-ia Rd., Concord, MA 01742-2751 or by email to [email protected].

Annual beach cleanup scheduledThe 25th annual CoastSweep Beach Clean-up is scheduled

for Saturday, Sept. 25. The clean-up is part of a nation wide effort organized by the Center of Marine Conservation in Wash-ington D.C.

Volunteers not only help to make Massachusetts’ shorelines and water bodies cleaner and safer, but they also record infor-mation about the types and amounts of debris collected at each site. This information is sent to the Ocean Conservancy’s Inter-national Coastal Cleanup program where the data is analyzed and used to develop programs aimed at reducing marine debris world-wide.

So make sure to bring your family and friends and lend the beach a helping hand.

Volunteers can pick up collection supplies and data sheets at the east end of the Powder Point Bridge between 9 a.m. and 12 noon on Saturday. Refreshments will be provided.

For more information, please call Jeanine Boyle at Battelle 781-934-0571.


The festival began five years ago when grower Don Merry and some others held a spring event at the Winsor House. But the crowds started to grow, and eventually the festival moved to the beach, under tents near Blakeman’s.

“They [The Winsor House] were awesome, but there was an increase in demand and we wanted to find a larger venue,” Gregory said.

The beach was a natural fit for Island Creek, whose grow-ers spend most of their time in the flats or out on the floats.

“We’re able to hold an event in our backyard,” he said.

Out of the festival has also grown the Island Creek Foun-dation, which has been giving back to charities both local and global for several years.

“We realized we had a great means to raise money,” Gregory said. “Giving back has always been important to everybody at Island Creek.”

The proceeds from this

year’s festival will go toward the ongoing project Island Creek is funding, through The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute, in Zanzibar.

“We knew Island Creek Oysters could always contin-ue to support local organiza-tions,” Gregory said. “But for our foundation we believe in having a larger purpose that we can work towards ... where we can use our experience in aquaculture to help feed peo-ple.”

The foundation’s mission, solidified by the work in Zan-zibar, is to help feed malnour-ished people through educa-tion.

Zanzibar is an island na-tion off the coast of Tanzania, in Africa. Island Creek grow-ers, as well as scientists from Woods Hole, have been work-ing with villages in that coun-try to set up an oyster hatchery. The goal is to produce oyster seeds that could be planted and farmed by rural villagers, spe-cifically women, for food and economic reasons.

Gregory himself has gone to Zanzibar to work with the local officials and villagers.

“It’s a spectacular place,” he said. “It’s one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been to ... that beauty is juxtaposed with some really drastic forms of poverty.”

The project is currently waiting for the local technician to be able to spawn oysters in the hatchery, which should happen by this fall.

“I think it puts in perspec-tive the quality of life people in Duxbury have,” Gregory said. “It’s going to take a lot of work, but I think we can really help. That’s a really cool thing.”

This year’s festival will be about the same size as last year’s although there are more celebrity chef’s involved.

“We’re really just refined the experience,” Gregory said. “We have more chefs this year. We have a late night BBQ which will add more food to the festival ... We just have our fingers crossed for better weather.”

Bumpus Gallery presents floral watercolors by Alison Davidson

The Helen Bumpus Gallery will be presenting an exhibit titled “Into the Garden” by Duxbury artist Alison Davidson dur-ing the months of September and October. Focusing primarily although not exclusively on floral images, her watercolors have been exhibited throughout the South Shore and Cape Cod and have received numerous awards, including the Best in Show at the Duxbury Art Association’s Midsummer Exhibit in 2008. She attended the New England School of Art and Design and continued her studies by attending workshops with several well-known artists.

A reception to meet the artist will be held at the Gallery on Saturday, Sept. 18, from 2 to 4 p.m. Complimentary refresh-ments will be served and all are invited to attend.

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

11th Annual Rotary Duck Race

Come watch your duck make a splash at the Annual Rotary Club Duck Race this Saturday, Sept. 11 at 12:30 pm at the Blue Fish River. Ducks will be available for adoption outside of Foodie’s Wednesday – Thursday, 4–6 p.m. or on Saturday prior to the race starting at 11:15 a.m. Prizes for fastest duck are $300 for first place, $200 for second place and $100 for third place. Proceeds support Duxbury scholar-ships and other Rotary ser-vice projects.

Whether you’re a parent planning for a child’s edu-cation or a small business owner poised for growth,

one thing’s for certain — there’s not much you can control about the future. And when you add the backdrop of a turbulent econ-omy, it may be difficult to even think about making long-term plans for yourself, your family or your loved ones.

But one key to moving forward may be securing a level of finan-cial protection against life’s un-

certainties, for however long you need it. Term life insurance can help provide that protection.

As many households are juggling multiple obliga-tions including mortgages, auto loans and educa-tional expenses, the prospect of leaving loved ones burdened with those responsibilities can be par-ticularly overwhelming. All these concerns can be addressed in ways tailored to what you and your family can afford. Term life insurance provides coverage at a level you choose, for a period of time you designate. For young families or single par-ents, term policies are an accessible path to secu-rity. And, as your financial circumstances change in the future, a term policy can be easily upgraded to permanent insurance to cover your long-term goals and dreams.

Let’s face it. You can’t be prepared for everything. But a term insurance policy might help you plan for more than you realize.

Interfaith Council to celebrate the UN International Day of Peace

The United Nations’ International Day of Peace, marked every year on Sept. 21, is a global holiday when individuals, communities, nations and governments highlight efforts to end conflict and promote peace. Come and join the Duxbury Inter-faith Council and the No Place for Hate Committee on Sept. 21 at 7:30 p.m, St. John’s Church, 410 Washington St., for a service to promote that goal. Joining the service will be members of the High School Chamber Singers under the direction of Jim Donovan.

Peace building focuses on creating a long-term culture of peace, rather than solving existing conflicts or preventing old ones from re-occurring. Peace building activities aim at build-ing understanding and tolerance between individuals, communi-ties and societies and establishing new structures of cooperation. Peace building activities range in scale from personal acts of kindness toward others to global inter-governmental programs. For more information contact Interfaith Council at 781-934-8388, info@duxinterfaith.

Rotary NewsJoanne Moore gave a very interesting talk about about the Se-

nior Center’s Lifelong Learning Program. The program is in its fifth year and it is the only program in the U.S. with no college connections. The roster includes 10 distinguished authorities talk-ing about such fields as politics, history, art, religion and other fields.

David Murphy from the Duxbury Free Library spoke to the club about the oral history project whereby we will look back to what Duxbury was like 60 years ago (when the Duxbury Rotary Club was first chartered) as compared to how youngsters of today see Duxbury. The library will use criterion set up by the Univer-sity of Massachusetts. The library has teamed up with the Ro-tary Club, the Duxbury Rural and Historical Society, the Interfaith Council and like groups as part of a state wide effort to record history.

President George thanked Cheryl Nachmann for her efforts regarding the Duck Race to be held on Sept. 11 just prior to high tide at the Bluefish River Bridge. The club will use funds received from the sale of certificates for charitable purposes. The club will meet at Long Point Marine for the annual “numbering the ducks” which will be dumped in the Blue Fish River on Sept. 11.

390 Washington Street Duxbury by the Sea • Dinners nightly at 5:00 pm Closed Sundays

Duxbury Republican Town Committee held a summer cookout at the home of Bill and Paula Harris. Attendees included local members and candidates, which included Joe Truschelli, candidate for State Representative, 12th Plymouth, which represents precincts 1 and 6 in Duxbury, candidate Ray Kasperowicz candidate for the 10th Congressional and Lisa Perry, representing her husband Jeff Perry, candidate for he 10th Congressional.

Jeff Per-ry’s life has been defined by commit-ment to fam-ily, public service and adherence to conservative principles he

holds dear.Jeff is a resident of Sand-

wich and has been married to his wife, Lisa, for the past 21 years. He has one son, Christo-pher, who along with his wife, Tiffany, have blessed Jeff with two granddaughters.

Jeff has devoted much of his professional career to serv-ing the public. For eight years he served as a member of the Wareham Police Department, starting out as a patrol officer and rising through the ranks to sergeant. He also proudly served in the United States Army Reserve and the Massa-chusetts Army National Guard.

Jeff also has worked hard to educate himself so he can provide a better life for himself and his family. By taking night courses, he is proud to be the first member of his family to graduate from college. He is a graduate of Bristol Community College (Associate’s Degree) and Curry College (Bachelor’s

Degree).More recently, Jeff gradu-

ated from New England School of Law (Juris Doctor). He is a licensed attorney and partner in the law firm of Flannigan and Perry P.C., but he also believes strongly in passing forward what he has learned to future generations. He is an adjunct professor at Cape Cod Commu-nity College in West Barnstable teaching courses in Criminal Evidence and American Gov-ernment. He also taught Con-stitutional Law at Bridgewater State College.

Through his public ser-vice, educational background and past experience as a small business owner, Jeff has devel-oped a strong set of conserva-tive principles. He believes in a limited form of government that prizes freedom and acts responsibly, especially when it comes to protecting taxpay-ers. He also believes strongly in personal responsibility and providing incentives for people to achieve success in their daily lives.

In 2002, Jeff ran for the House of Representatives and won, and he has proudly repre-sented the Fifth Barnstable Dis-trict (which includes the town of Sandwich and portions of Barnstable, Bourne, and Mash-

pee) ever since, developing a solid reputation as a reform-minded leader and someone who is always willing to take a stand in favor of principles that matter to him and to those he represents.

I am Ben Quelle and I am a Republican running for State Representative for the 12th Plymouth District. This year, more than any other, is so im-portant to the voters of Massa-chusetts. The balance of power on Beacon Hill has become so out of whack that there is no true debate on any of the issues that are important to the people of Massachusetts and especial-ly those of us in the 12th Plym-outh District. It is clear that there are staged arguments be-tween Governor Patrick and the 90 percent Democratic legisla-ture, but generally, the Gover-nor and the Legislature can and do pass any law without fear of recourse or veto override.

Most people disapprove of the state of the state but some-how are mislead to believe that their current legislator is dif-ferent. Because of this, we end up with more of the same; high taxes on the middle class, in-creasing regulation and fees on small businesses with an overall

disregard for the wishes of the voters. We the people are the ones who fund all of the waste and overspending on Beacon Hill. Spending that has put this state into a functional deficit of two to three billion dollars.

I am a member of the mid-dle class, a father of four, a con-cerned taxpayer and a proud combat veteran of the war in Iraq. I began this campaign because I am tired of the gov-ernment taking so much of our hard earned income and show-ing little by way of results.

I believe that people of the 12th District want to bring bal-ance and accountability back in Boston and having listened with over 1,500 of you in my campaign, I promise to help balance Beacon Hill. I ask you, to please vote during the Tues-day, Sept. 14 primary and I ask for your vote.

Remember, without checks and balances, we just keep writ-ing the checks.

South Shore Conserva-tory, the region’s largest com-munity school for the arts, will host open auditions for the José Mateo Ballet Theatre’s Production of the Nutcracker. José Mateo Ballet Theatre is looking for 200 children to fill casts in the roles of party chil-dren, mice, soldiers, angels, court attendants, polichinelles, and Clara. Previous dance ex-perience is not required for children ages 6-10.

This original production, choreographed by Artistic Di-rector José Mateo, brings the story to life through the danc-

ing, rather than the mime and theatrics associated with other productions. There is more dancing in this production, especially for the children’s roles.

The auditions will take place Sunday, Sept. 12, 9 a.m.-3 p.m. at South Shore Conservatory’s Duxbury Cam-pus at the Ellison Center for the Arts, 64 Saint George St.

Ages 6 and 7, 1 p.m.Ages 8-10, 2 p.m.Ages 11-14, 3 p.m.Ages 15-18, 4:30 p.m.Performances of José

Mateo Ballet Theatre’s 2010

Nutcracker will take place November 26, 27 and 28 at the Duxbury Performing Arts Center and December 3-19 at the Spingold Theatre at Bran-deis University in Waltham. José Mateo Ballet Theatre’s Nutcracker is the only local professional production to hold open auditions for young dancers outside its own school. All rehearsals will be held at JMBT’s studios in Cambridge. Call 617-354-7467 or visit BalletTheatre.org for more in-formation. A $25 audition fee is required.

On Tuesday, Sept. 28, The Parent Connection, in part-nership with Duxbury High School PTO and Alden PTA, will present “Bullying and Cyber-Bullying: A Community Wake Up Call.” The two-part program will begin with a pre-sentation by Dr. Elizabeth Eng-lander, director of the Massa-chusetts Aggressive Reduction Center and a lead consultant to Massachusetts on the new bul-lying legislation, and end with a Q&A discussion between the audience and a panel of ex-perts.

Dr. Englander will talk about what our preteens and

teens are doing online and what adults can do to help them navigate that online world. She will show ways adults can help keep children safe when online. Englander will also give an overview of the new anti-bullying legisla-tion and tell what it means for parents and their children. Af-ter her presentation, Englander will join a panel of experts and educators to answer questions from the audience. Other panel members are Margaret Han-nah, Executive Director of the Freeman Center for Child and Family Development, Nancy MacCoy, Co-Director of Open

Circle at Wellesley College, Detective Friend Weiler, Dux-bury Student Resource Officer and Ed Walsh, Assistant Super-intendent, Duxbury Schools. Questions for the panel may be submitted in advance at thepa-rentconnection.org.

The program will begin at 7:30 p.m in the Duxbury Per-forming Arts Center. There will be a reception at 7 p.m. Tickets are $5 in advance and can be purchased online. After Sept. 15, tickets can be purchased at Westwinds Bookshop, Dux-bury Free Library and Foodie’s. Tickets can also be purchased at the door for $7.

two years as a volunteer — in addition to serving as a volun-teer skipper for two years be-fore that. His lifelong love of sailing, coupled with his pas-sion for connecting physically and cognitively disabled youth and adults with the sport, make him a perfect fit for the job and a great ambassador for the program. Leonard es-timates that Orosz has logged more than 2,500 hours as an ACCESSAIL volunteer.

The Starfish Award is awarded annually to an ex-ceptional DBMS volunteer. The 2009 recipient was Shawn Dahlen, a longtime board member who helped to oversee construction of the beautiful and fully handicap accessible Smith Building that has made a comfortable and welcoming home for ACCESSAIL par-ticipants.

In addition to Gene Orosz, the 2010 ACCESSAIL team includes staff instructors Steve Day, Will Holt and Bill Jewell and the following volunteers: Emily Shane, Sarah Leonard, Anna McGeady, Arthur Per-kins, Jo Perkins, Dan Perkins, Steve Williams, Ken McCa-rthy, Maria Varonko, Elisabeth O’Toole, Sean Healy, Bruce Garrow and Chandler Rodri-guez.

Simply Shaker at the ACMOne of the important highlights of the Art Complex Mu-

seum’s collection will be the focus of a new exhibition, Sim-ply Shaker, which begins Sept. 19 and is scheduled through Jan. 16. The museum’s collection of Shaker furniture is rec-ognized nationally among authorities for its quality and fine examples of classic design. It currently totals more than six hundred pieces. Many pieces have been loaned to important exhibitions and their images reproduced in definitive books on Shaker furniture. The exhibit has been carefully planned to in-clude chairs, desks, woodenware and a number of recent addi-tions purchased within the last three years.

students) and his parents, who had come to greet me. Then Nipa (Nipaporn Kanishthapu-tra, AFS teacher who taught at Alden Elementary School and lived with me for three months in the spring of 2009) and her nephew met me. This was a late night for everyone. It was about midnight in Bangkok (1 a.m. Beijing time). Nipa then drove me home to her house.

Before I begin my Thai ad-ventures, I want to catch you up on the past month in China. It has been a great month de-spite extreme heat most of the time. When I wrote the first time, my three SABEH (Sino-American Bridge for Educa-tion and Health, Inc.) teachers and I had just completed our first week teaching American methods of teaching using American culture to Chinese teachers of English. The sec-ond week was also successful and cemented the bond be-tween the teachers of our two different worlds. The evalua-tion sheets we gave out at the end of that week, responded to by 75 percent or more of the teachers, showed that they loved what we had shared for two weeks and promised that many of them would try some of the methods in their class-rooms. The primary and lower-middle school teachers (grades kindergarten-ninth) were most enthusiastic and probably will try to use the songs and meth-ods the most. We hope to keep in touch with them.

During that second week we held a best practices forum after classes on Wednesday. Our three American teachers were joined by three Chinese teachers (of grades 5, 8, and 11) in a discussion of ques-tions that came mainly from the Chinese teachers them-selves when they began our program. The audience was made up of the other 60 plus teachers and one English-speaking man from our host organization, the Greentown Education Company in Hang-zhou. Our three teachers again impressed me with their ability to express the need for a vari-ety of teaching methods in or-der to reach all students. Tere-sa Huminski was even quoted by a reporter in a local Hang-zhou newspaper when she told of a student of hers who most teachers thought was unable to learn but who showed an amazing ability to demonstrate

his knowledge through art-work. Thanks to Dr. Gardner’s multiple intelligence methods, teachers in Hangzhou may be-gin to use a greater variety of ways to teach. The forum re-inforced the impression that American teachers rely more on the creativity of students, while Chinese teachers feel pressured to cover the content of their courses, especially in grades 6, 9, 12, when students have to pass entrance exams to go on to the next level.

During weeks three and four we had students for one week each. The first week we had 81 students in three class-es; the second week we had about 67. They were not quite as able as we had expected but still reacted with enthusi-asm. Meeting them for only one week is much less effec-tive than having them for two. They definitely need practice speaking English, so that is what our teachers focused on. I taught one class for Erin each week—introducing students to baseball. It was fun, especially since we had a plastic bat and ball so could actually play a short game in each class.

Our last week with new friends from Hangzhou was a week of travel. Elaine and Sophia accompanied us with our own van, driver, and guide to Xitang, Wuxi, Suzhou, and Shanghai. All the places we visited were fascinating but hard to take in the extreme heat we endured then—between 97 and 104ºF each day.

The school was generous to us and purchased tickets to the Shanghai Expo a week ago last Thursday. It was again a very hot day, one that I would have had more difficulty with if I hadn’t just celebrated a special birthday two weeks earlier. Because of my new

(advanced) age, I was able to go into many of the pavilions at the beginning of the line while my younger friends had to stand in long lines to enter var-ious countries’ exhibits. There are blessings connected with growing old! The expo was well done. I was impressed. We celebrated our final day to-gether by visiting the Shanghai Museum, which is a first class place to visit, especially with its air-conditioning.

At the airport in Pudong last Saturday, I bid farewell to all my friends, both American and Chinese, as they prepared to return to Hangzhou or fly back to Boston and I to Bei-jing. My five days in Beijing were wonderful, but I’ll wait until my next letter to tell you about them.

speCial to the Clipper

Sandy Kozlowsky, Bay Farm Montessori Academy’s director of admissions, trav-eled to the Waspam, Rio Coco region of Nicaragua this sum-mer with two heavy trash bags full of brand-new toothbrushes. Visiting 10 villages in 10 days in one of the poorest countries of Central America, Sandy and a small medical crew distribut-ed new toothbrushes, collected by Bay Farm Montessori Acad-emy students, to children and adults, educating them on the importance of dental health.

The students of Bay Farm’s Kids Care Club collected, gath-ered, and bought toothbrushes during this past school year, so that Sandy could deliver more than 1,000 toothbrushes to the children who need them most. In most parts of Nicaragua, you cannot find a dentist, let alone buy a toothbrush.

Thirty years ago, Sandy’s father traveled to Nicaragua with Dr. Robert Bach, a gen-eral surgeon from Maine who actively volunteers in Guate-mala, Honduras, and Nicara-gua, providing health services and education to third-world countries. When Dr. Bach re-turned to Nicaragua in 1989 and found the medical infra-structure devastated from the Sandinitsta-Contra war, he pushed for the rebuilding of the hospital in Puerto Cabezas and obtained funding to re-place hospital equipment and supplies and provide training. Through his work and that of other health care workers who had been volunteering in Central America, Partners in Health, a nonprofit, non-denominational organization was founded to provide health services, training, education, and volunteer opportunities for health care providers in

third-world countries. This summer, Sandy fol-

lowed her father’s footsteps and traveled to Nicaragua with Dr. Bach and Dr. Hanna Ek-strom, a veterinarian who has also visited the region many times, caring for animals and teaching the villagers how to take care of their animals. For eight months prior to their June trip, Sandy and Hanna gathered training materials, supplies, and fluoride to teach dental health to as many Ni-caraguans as possible during their trip.

“If we can get fluoride and toothbrushes to these people, we can make a profound dif-ference, especially for the

children,” said Sandy. “They simply do not have access to something as basic as a tooth-brush.”

There are 8,500 children who are school age and un-der in the 10 villages Sandy and Hanna visited. Their goal is to deliver a toothbrush for each child, each year, along with enough fluoride to give each child three fluoride treat-ments a year. Bay Farm’s Kids Care Club plans to continue supporting this cause. If you would like to help, contact Sandy or visit Partners in Health at pihom.com or Save Their Smiles at savetheir-smiles.org.

Only Our Name Is Changing!

Ten years ago, Bay State Gas became part of the NiSource family of Columbia Gas companies.Now it’s time for us to take on the well-respected Columbia brand in Massachusetts. You willsoon be seeing Columbia Gas of Massachusetts replacing the Bay State Gas name. This proj-ect should be completed by the end of the year.

Only our name is changing. Our employees, products, and services, and our commitment to public safety and the safe, reliable delivery of natural gas to our 300,000 customers through-out Massachusetts is unchanged. We’re confident that our customers and the public will veryquickly become as proud of our new name and logo as we are.

For more information about the name change, visit: www.ColumbiaGas.com

We’re proud to be part of the NiSource family of Columbia Gas companies

Bay State Gas will now be Columbia Gas of Massachusetts

Unnecessary panic at the

beach?Hurricane Earl hit the coast of Massachusetts this

weekend. If you were outside, you may not have noticed, because by the time the storm reached

Duxbury’s shores, it was little more than a windy whimper –– a little rain, to be sure, but nothing even approaching the Nor’easters that hit the region from time to time.

However, if you were inside, watching television, listening to the radio or checking Twitter, you were preparing for the apocalypse, the storm to end all storms, a you’d-better-hope-the-family’s-in-the-cellar event.

Duxbury’s harbormaster, police and fire departments did a great job informing residents of what was going on, distributing information via the town’s reverse-911 system, and in general keeping everybody in the community safe. But the point is, these folks always do a good job. And they do that job regardless of whether or not the media is whipping everybody into a panicked frenzy.

The coverage of Hurricane Earl was fascinating to watch, from a media-observer’s point of view. From the beginning, most projections had the storm system heading out to sea, possibly brushing Nantucket or Cape Cod on the way past.

But whether it was reporters gravitating to a story during a slow news time, or the power social networking tools like Twitter and Facebook have to amplify the gravity of news as it gets repeated again and again, the panic over Earl spread like wildfire. Another newspaper wrote an editorial basically berating readers for not being panicked enough. People were canceling vacation plans, postponing events, boarding up windows and raiding stores for emergency supplies. Then the storm hit, and all we got was some wind and a light rain.

People who live in seaside communities like Duxbury have to deal with storms from time to time. Most people who buy waterfront property are informed of the risks from storms. They don’t need to be constantly reminded that they live next to the ocean.

There’s a way to keep people informed without whipping up hysteria. That’s what Duxbury’s public safety officials did, keeping people safe without starting a panic. Perhaps our local media can take a lesson from this.

–– J. Graeber

Last week’s cartoon, wonderfully drawn as always, implied

that heartless town boards were driving seniors out of town. In fact, apartments are consistently available at Is-land Creek, and the developer of Merry Village said he was unable to fill either the afford-able or market-rate units with people over 55. Individual

housing, assisted living, and nursing care are all available in Duxbury. Leaving town is a matter of individual choice, not board actions.

When our fellow citizens are sworn in to serve as volun-teers on the Planning and Zon-ing boards, they take an oath to uphold the provisions of the town’s bylaws. Our bylaws grew out of a community-wide

survey and were approved by 2/3 of Town Meeting voters. In other words, the boards are only trying to do what we have said we want for our town.

All their meetings are posted in advance and open to the public. Go and watch how diligently they work to protect our interests.

In defense of town boards ————————

Dear Duxbury resi-dents, In a time where we are so

quick to criticize and judge, we wanted to take the time to compliment and thank the har-bormaster and his department on the handling of “Earl.” Not only did we receive the “all–

call” to warn on the impend-ing storm, but the harbormas-ter and his department ran an excellent evacuation of the harbor. We had pulled our boat earlier in the week, before the mass exodus. We did go to the harbor on both Wednesday and Thursday and saw the exem-

plary way this group worked to ensure boaters were able to safely remove their boats from their anchorage. Bravo Don Beers and crew!

Town did a great job with Earl ——————

I enjoyed the article “New Faces on the Cu-linary Scene” in this

past week’s Duxbury Clipper. I want to point out a new res-taurant that was missed in the article. Duxbury’s own Mike Cardelle has opened a won-

derful restaurant in Plymouth called the Waterfront. The for-mer Crow’s Nest (in the Vil-lage Landing Shops in front of the Radisson Hotel) has been transformed into a wonderful “fun, fresh, and affordable” new restaurant.

With live entertainment of-ten present, the Waterfront is a great place to enjoy fresh sea-food, steaks, and sandwiches. Their attentive staff is always there to please.

The Duxbury Repub-lican Town Com-mittee is notifying

the voters of Duxbury that there is a Republican candi-date for attorney general. His name is James McKenna. He’s running for office via a sticker/write-in campaign.

A “sticker campaign” is when a candidate provides voters with stickers containing the candidate’s name as regis-tered to affix on the ballot in the area for write-ins.

A voter need not use the sticker to have such vote counted for the sticker candi-date. He or she can physically write in the name of that can-didate.

The Sept. 14 primary will choose the party candidates who will appear on the ballot for the Nov. 2 State election.

Registered Republicans or “unenrolled” (independents) are eligible to vote for James McKenna in the primary. Here are the steps to follow:

1) Request a Republican ballot (even if you are an in-dependent.)

2) Take this ballot to the voting booth.

3) Before you vote for any other candidate on the ballot, locate the area on the ballot branded “ATTORNEY GENERAL.” Write in the fol-lowing, “James McKenna, Milbury.” If you have a pre-

printed sticker, affix the sticker instead of physically writing the name.

4) Regardless of whether you affix a sticker or write the name, fill in the oval l. The oval is the most important part. If you do not fill in the oval, your vote for James McKenna may not count.

5) Fill in the rest of your ballot.

If you need help, an elec-tion official can help you.

As a friend of Jim McK-enna, I can assure you he is an excellent choice for Attorney General.

By Anne WArd School committee chAirWomAn

This month children throughout Massachusetts will be donning their backpacks and returning to their classrooms. In many area towns, students will be walking into up-to-date schools with efficient en-ergy systems, contemporary classrooms and technologies, up-to-code safety systems and handicap accessibility.

In Duxbury, high school students will enter a building constructed in 1968. It is a structure that has served the town well but has reached the end of its useful life. The lab-yrinthine design is obsolete, the energy systems are ineffi-cient and expensive, the main-tenance costs are high, and the classroom spaces, special education areas and access to technology are deficient. The middle school, built in 1960, exhibits similar problems, in-cluding a roof that is nearly be-yond repair and a cafeteria that is seriously undersized. The town’s 2000 Master Facilities Plan identified these deficien-cies and targeted renovation or replacement within ten years.

In late July, the Massachu-setts School Building Author-ity (MSBA) invited Duxbury to work collaboratively to achieve the most cost-effi-cient, educationally-appropri-ate solution to address these conditions. Duxbury has an opportunity to qualify for sig-nificant reimbursement from MSBA for a building project, in the range of 40 percent, if the town meets certain prereq-uisites in the coming months.

The time has come for Duxbury residents to begin a serious discussion about the potential opportunity present-ed by the MSBA to address two schools and what it would mean for our education sys-tem, our property values and our tax bills.

The School Building Com-mittee (SBC) has been working diligently to explore a range of options, including renovation and new construction. A fea-sibility study, approved by the voters in 2009, was completed by the architectural firm of Dore & Whittier and presented at the 2010 Town Meeting and at several other public presen-tations. The study outlines the conditions of both the middle school and the high school and offers six options for a proj-ect. Duxbury’s SBC has re-

viewed all the options and has requested further work on the two concepts that provide for a co-located project – a building that would house the middle and high school students in distinct areas, with some com-mon service facilities such as the kitchen, technology hub and media center.

While renovation of the buildings may seem to be less costly, the SBC believes that new construction of a co-located building will be the most cost-effective and educa-tionally-appropriate solution. New construction offers the least disruption to the opera-tion of the schools, fewer staff and student safety concerns, greater building longevity and flexibility, and better energy efficiency. It provides more opportunity to meet the needs of a 21st century educational program for decades to come. Importantly, the MSBA has signaled its interest in a co-lo-cated middle and high school and has indicated that the town could recoup millions of dol-lars, an additional five percent of the total cost, in reimburse-ment for development of plans for the design and construction of a co-located school. Green building elements could fur-ther boost the state’s share of the total project cost.

Over the coming weeks and months the School Build-ing Committee will be work-ing closely with the MSBA to determine next steps in this collaborative process. At the same time, Dore & Whittier will be producing renderings of what a co-located high school and middle school might look like and where it might be sited. Currently, the MSBA is reviewing Duxbury’s feasi-bility study to determine what additional work is needed to meet MSBA requirements and scope of work necessary to produce a schematic design. As additional funds are nec-essary to complete this step in the process, the town will need to secure funding within existing resources, or request funding from the voters in or-der to meet target dates set by the MSBA.

As more information is obtained from MSBA, mem-bers of the SBC, including Superintendent Ben Tantillo, will begin holding information sessions with civic groups, neighborhood associations, and all other interested resi-dents. The goal of these meet-ings will be to provide infor-mation about the potential

scope, budget and timeline for the project. The timeline is important since collaboration with MSBA requires the town to adhere to a series of process steps and deadlines, includ-ing community authorization at town meeting, if necessary, and funding to proceed. Resi-dents need to know the facts so they can make informed decisions.

This is a significant op-portunity for the town of Dux-bury. Financially, the town will benefit from MSBA fund-ing that is currently available, lower construction costs and the town’s excellent borrow-ing capability.

This is an opportunity to address two deteriorating buildings in a cost-effective manner and provide a building that meets the needs of Dux-bury students and the commu-nity for decades. If we miss this opportunity, the cost of keeping the existing buildings operational will increase every year, the cost to replace them in the future may rise and we may not receive the 40 per-cent reimbursement from the state. Obsolete buildings may make Duxbury a less attractive district for recruiting highly-qualified teachers. For staff and students, there will be added barriers to learning and a rapidly deteriorating physi-cal environment.

Duxbury has always taken great pride in its schools. Our schools play a vital role as the largest employer in town, in the quality of life here and in the future of our students. Let’s take this opportunity to understand and address the very real needs of our two worn-out school buildings. Let the conversation begin.

A Clipper reader gave Editor Justin Graeber a tip about a New York Times/Boston

Globe story from Sep 1 regarding poison gas attacks on girls’ schools in Kabul, Afghanistan. My scanning through AP, UPI, and Reuter’s Web sites shows that the two recent attacks (at the Zabihullah Esmati High School and the Totya Girls School, both in Kabul) are the latest events in a

problem dating back some two years.No story indicates that Razia

Jan’s Zabuli Education Center for Women and Girls was involved, in the village of Deh’ Subz, near Kabul. I’ve

e-mailed Razia, as well as the family I stayed with two years ago in Kabul, to ascertain the school’s safety (and Razia’s). I’ll keep you posted.

Razia Jan is the Duxbury Rotarian and businesswoman who spearheaded the founding and maintenance of the Zabuli Center, with the help of the Duxbury Rotary Club, Afghan novelist Khaled Hosseini (The Kite Runner, A Thousand Splendid Suns), Frieda Madjid and a great many dedicated

WHAT’S GOING ON HERE?

Tying up loose summer ends

continued on page 4

By Bruce Barrett, clipper columnist [email protected]

By mike Halloran, sports editor [email protected]

A Super Bowl win in 2008 and a playoff spot in 2009 has certainly established the Dux-bury Dragons as one of the premier football programs on the South Shore, if not in all of eastern Massachusetts.

After a disappointing loss to Marshfield in the first round of last year’s Division IIA playoffs that ended the season at 9-3, it appears Coach Dave Maimaron’s squad has wiped the loss from its memory and is intent on going all the way this year.

A veteran team, rein-forced with one of the most talented sophomore classes in the school’s history, will open its season with Bridgewater-Raynham next Friday night at 7 p.m. in Bridgewater.

The Trojans appear to be one of the toughest teams on the Duxbury schedule, so Maimaron will get a very quick read on how good his team can be.

“This will be a very good test,” said Maimaron. “B-R returns some key players and it will be a good experience to see how our younger players react.”

While Duxbury returns starters and captains Kane Haffey, Dave Donovan, and Max Randall, they also have added 32 sophomores from last year’s dominating fresh-man team.

While most programs would sit their sophomores while they earn playing time, Maimaron has decided that they have the talent to make an impact right away and has moved several of them into the starting lineup.

Sophomores Rob Ko-

sharek (guard / 6’5”-220 lbs.) and John Hurvitz (running back / 5’9”-170 lbs.) will get the starting nod on offense, while Marshall McCarthy (linebacker / 5’11”-170 lbs.), Owen Grey (tackle / 5’10”-220 lbs.), and Mark Trudeau (tackle / 6’-225 lbs.) will see plenty of action on defense.

While talk of the sopho-more infusion will be con-stant, the Dragons have plenty of solid veterans who will be counted on to carry the load in the early going.

Senior Colman Duggan (6’4/240) will line up at right guard next to senior captain Donovan (6’/200), while classmate Brett Harasimow-icz (6’4”/235) will start at left tackle and junior Don Webber (5’11’/180) will man the other tackle spot, while also sliding over to tight end. Nick Mann (6’/240) is also in the battle for

playing time, while Winston Schromm and Wes Dow are moving to the offensive line to bolster its depth.

Maimaron is hoping that he can have a well-balanced offense with Haffey at QB and junior Matt O’Keefe as his backup. O’Keefe looked like he had the starting job last year, but an injury forced him to the bench, allowing Haffey to emerge as the leader on of-fense. Now fully recovered, O’Keefe is capable of assum-ing command should the need arise.

While both players are capable of executing a pass-ing game, Maimaron has yet to see his receivers develop in training camp.

“I’m sure they’ll come around,” said Maimaron. “But right now they aren’t play-ing with any consistency, nor are they running the proper

routs.”The coach is confident it

will happen when play begins, as seniors Matt Hallisey and Adam Martin have experience from last year. Webber, sopho-more Joe Guilfoyle, and sur-prising junior Andrew Padula have had good camps and are waiting in the wings should a change need to be made.

Junior Henry Buonagu-rio saw action last year in the backfield and could be the work-horse in the tough-yard-age situations, while partner Hurvitz has the speed to make him a big-play threat.

If Maimaron has any con-cerns it could be on defense, where rotating his front four will be crucial, while his rook-ies get a taste of varsity play.

Joining Harasimowicz and Duggan on the defensive line will be Grey, Trudeau, Web-

My column last week failed to mention the Boston Sailing Center, another group that maintains a large fleet of sailboats in Boston Harbor (bostonsailingcenter.com, 617-227-4198). Their daysailing membership runs $995 for seven-day-a-week access to their Sonars and Solings, with reduced packages for weekends, weekdays, weekdays 9-5, and a 30-day mini-membership for $375. All these are for experienced sailors. Their facilities include a permanently docked riverboat clubhouse at Lewis Wharf, a short walk from the Aquarium T stop. Unlike the Boston Harbor Sailing Club, they operate all year long, including frostbite sailing (a separate charge) right through the winter. Their membership fee runs for any 12-month period (except the mini).

I also failed to mention a serious attraction for the Duxbury Bay Maritime School’s seasonal rental program: saving the extra couple of hours it takes to get back and forth to Boston. Their season is finished in a few days, but next summer, DBMS boats will be minutes away, and the parking is free.

Like everything in boats, it’s all about trade-offs. Give up a little speed, and you may relax for a couple of hours in a DBMS Marshall 15. Pay more for the Boston Sailing Center, drive a little (OK, a lot) on the Expressway, and you can help frozen racing fanatics thaw in a riverboat even if you’re too sensible to sail through pack ice in Boston Harbor.

Think the whole affair is just too expensive, especially for a houseful of children? I’ve been writing about experienced sailors’ opportunities, which can be surprisingly affordable (with canoeing and kayaking even more so), but classes and on-the-water training can really add to the cost for children or adults. Community Boating (near the Esplanade on the Charles) may be your answer. The membership fee includes all instruction, at $249 for adults, and $160 for youths (17-20). The full fee for children aged 10 to 18 (and adults with disabilities) is one dollar per season. One dollar, no matter how rich or poor, or where you’re from, even Duxbury. This includes all classes and, as skills progress, use of the 66 Mercury sloops, 13 Lasers, 19 420s, and so on, from windsurfers to a few Rhodes 19s and Sonars. They ask for, but do not require, a $100 donation to cover the actual cost per child, but they won’t waver about the one dollar. Mercuries (the main training boats) are clunkers compared to Flying Scots, and your kids will have to be content with the one-mile stretch of river between the “Salt Shaker” bridge and the Harvard Bridge, but they’ll know how to sail, and so will you.

Editor’s note:After deadline I received e-mails from both Razia and

my Afghan host family – all are safe, as is the Zabuli Center, though Razia worries deeply and prays for the safety of the girls, the teachers, and their families.

Dragons’ DenSports Editor Mike Halloran • [email protected]

By mike Halloran, sports editor [email protected]

In Emerson Coleman’s first year coaching the girls’ soccer team, he lead them to a State title. In his second year at the helm the team lost to Canton in the South Sectional finals.

There seems little doubt that his Lady Dragons will be back in the playoffs this year. How far they go could well depend on his team’s physical condition.

“If we stay healthy we have the potential to play with anyone in the state,” said Cole-man, who returns 25 veterans along with two promising freshmen who have cracked the starting lineup.

While Coleman is blessed with plenty of experience in his lineup, he did suffer one major loss from his 2009 ros-ter in two-time Boston Globe Player of The Year, Caitlin Burke, who was a major of-fensive force that drew plenty of attention.

Despite the loss Duxbury has plenty of offense in cap-tains Melissa Gavin and Emily

Gallagher, along with fresh-man Emily Wiemer, who her coach describes as a scorer and finisher.

Freshman Gabie Davis will start in Coleman’s mid-field, along with a group that includes Katie Finocchiaro, Jesse Williams, Laura Nee, Sarah Jones and Lily Con-nolly.

While Duxbury appears loaded up front, it’s the Lady Dragon defense that could carry the team deep into the playoffs.

“We are very strong defen-sively,” said Coleman. “Get-ting Lauren Grady back is a

big boost. She was the start-ing stopper the year we won the title and missed all of last year with an injury. Add Madi Lawson and Lily Peterson, along with Charlotte Cipollet-ti, Devan Bahr, and the return of Meghan Woomer and we’ll have a defense that will make scoring on goalie Emily Brook very difficult.”

“This defense is good enough that it should limit our opponents’ offensive opportu-nities and will always be ca-pable of keeping us in games,” said Coleman.

An important element that has impressed the Duxbury

coach the most is the team’s chemistry.

“This group of kids has in-credible chemistry. When the game is over they don’t seem to be in any rush to get home. A couple of times they ordered pizza during a game and went under a tree to eat it together afterwards. It’s all about soc-cer with them,” said Coleman.

While Duxbury looks like they will be a force on paper, Coleman is not ruling out Whitman-Hanson, Silver Lake, and Pembroke as teams that will give Duxbury a battle for the league crown.

Lady Dragons should be impressive

ber, sophomore Henry Narlee (5’9”/170), and senior Nick Mann (6’/240).

“Grey and Trudeau are big, strong kids,” said their coach. “They are very athletic and they will be very effective if they stay low and get under their blocks.”

The area that really excites the coaching staff is the back seven with Randall manning the middle linebacker slot and four returnees in the second-ary.

Randall is the first un-derclassman captain during Maimaron’s coaching tenure.

“Max is a team player and a special kind of kid,” said his coach. “He’s an outstanding player who has a knack for the inside and playing in traffic. He makes good reads, is quick to the ball, and gets underneath his blocks.”

Junior Jay McDermott and McCarthy will round out the starting linebacking corps.

“We are really excited about our secondary,” said Maimaron. “Riley Naton is like having a coach on the field, and James ‘The Assas-

sin’ Burke has put on some weight and will only get bet-ter after having an outstanding season last year.”

Joining Naton and Burke in the defensive backfield are Hallissey and Martin, with Padula, junior Brendon Gillis, and sophomore Joe Guilfoyle making strong bids for playing time in the preseason.

While there have been questions about how well the sophomores would blend with the veterans, there have been no incidents of swelled heads or debates about playing time.

“This has been one of the

most cohesive groups of kids I have had here since I have been coaching,” said the Dux-bury coach. “They compliment each other on good plays and help each other out when they want to do things better.”

While Duxbury’s Patriot League record will determine if it gets a playoff spot, the team’s first four games with BR, Plymouth North, New Bedford, and Taunton will go a long way in determining if the Dragons will be good enough for another return to Gillette.
