Duxbury versus Johnson, round 3Counsel says venue needs to be changed in North Hill lawsuit

Millbrook Motors closed

Some material will be auctioned on Dec. 11

Public safety building group hears support for West Street

By Justin GraeBer, Clipper editor [email protected]

A town institution is no more.

Millbrook Motors, where Duxbury residents purchased their Jeeps for decades, has closed its doors and some of its inventory will be auc-tioned off.

Visitors to the dealership on Tremont Street will find only an empty lot, and “Auc-tion” stickers on the window.

The dealership had re-cently undergone a period

"Auction" stickers adorn the garage door at Millbrook Motors. Some of the former Jeep dealership's inventory (but not the cars) will be auctioned off on Dec. 11.


Town officials suffered a blow in the North Hill case last week when a Middlesex Superior Court judge issued yet another preliminary in-junction –– but Duxbury is fighting back.

Duxbury has been em-broiled in a lawsuit against

Johnson Golf Management for nearly two years after John-son, who had run the nine-hole North Hill Golf Course for over a decade, lost a bid for the management contract to Calm Golf of Rockland. John-son sued, saying Calm was unqualified and that the town and Town Manager Richard MacDonald conspired against him.

upDate



Despite a nearly universal acceptance of Duxbury’s need for a new police station, resi-dents aren’t yet sold on a May-flower Street location.

That was the lesson learned after a presentation by the Public Safety Buildings Committee at the Senior Cen-ter Thursday night.

Committee Chairman An-dre Martecchini spoke to his

group’s plans for new public safety facilities to a full house at the Senior Center.

The need for new public safety facilities in town has been an ongoing issue for many years. Plans for two new stations, as well as a plan for a more large scale fire sta-tion renovation and and a new police station, have recently failed at the polls.


CONGRATULATIONS! The Duxbury High School varsity football team took home the Super Bowl trophy this past weekend against Concord-Carlisle. The two teams went head to head at Gilette Stadium where they were greeted by Teddi Bruschi. For more photos of the Super Bowl, see section B page 6. Next week’s edition will feature a special section dedicated to the football team’s perfect season.

WINES, ALE, CORDIALS

By susanna sheehan, Clipper staff [email protected]

After three terms on the board, Selectman Betsy Sulli-van has decided not to run for re-election.

Sullivan announced her decision at the selectmen’s weekly Monday night meet-ing.

“I’ve had an amazing ex-perience doing this for three terms but change is good, and I think it’s time that new folks come and sit in this chair,” said Sullivan. “I thank you all for the chance to serve the town for the past nine years.”

“We certainly thank you for your years of service on the Board of Selectmen,” said Chairman Shawn Dahlen. “You will be missed.”

Sullivan poked fun at her often confrontational relation-ship with Selectman Chris-topher Donato, saying, “and I thank Chris for not saying ‘Woohoo!’”

Donato responded dip-lomatically to her jest: “We may have our differences but I respect you for your terms of service.”

Sullivan was elected in 2001, and she replaced Select-man Margaret Kearney.

According to Town Clerk

Nancy Oates, any resident considering running for public office in Duxbury can take out nomination papers at any time. The papers with 50 signatures are due back by Feb. 7, 2011. The town election will be held on March 26.

In other business, select-men

Heard from Selectman Chairman Shawn Dahlen who announced that the board must follow certain rules when en-tertaining the public’s com-ments in their “open forum” part of the meeting. Open fo-rum is a chance for the public

to address the selectmen on topics that are not scheduled on the agenda. Dahlen said that because of the new Open Meeting laws, the selectmen must now ask the speaker for the topic on which they intend to talk and that the board can-not enter into a discussion with the person other than to decide if they want to put the issue on a future agenda.

• Voted to renew all liquor, restaurant, and other licenses for businesses in town. This is an annual responsibility of the board.

• Granted a one-day liquor license to John Hamilton for the Friends of the Council on Aging for a black-tie optional bingo night at the Duxbury se-nior center, Jan. 22 from 6-11 p.m. The event will raise mon-ey for the senior citizen’s fuel assistance program.

• Learned that the town sold 218 Christmas trees at the town-owned tree farm on West Street and made a little over $15,000, which was similar to the previous year, said Town Manager Richard MacDonald.

Sullivan won’t run again

Anthony and Giovanna tell Santa what they want for Christmas at the Chandler School Holiday Festival on Dec. 4.

Betsy Sullivan, who has served on the Board of Selectmen since 2001, announced Monday she will not seek re-election. Sullivan previously served on the School Committee.

He met and married Katharine DeCazen-ove Douglas, “Kaki,” from Philadelphia in 1939. During WWII, Mr. DeBard served as commanding officer aboard a Destroyer Escort seeing duty in the Caribbean and Pacific from 1942 to 1946. After the war he moved to Hing-ham where he became active in many com-munity activities, including being a founding member of the Crow Point Improvement As-sociation, the Conservation Commission, the Massachusetts Association of Town Finances, Planning and Zoning Boards and the World Af-fairs Council of Boston. He was also involved with the International Visitors Association. He worked as an attorney at 84 State Street, Boston with the firm of Weston, Patrick, & Stevens.

A lover of history, Mr. DeBard marched with the Hingham Militia during the Memorial Day and 4th of July parades. He loved sailing and took his last sail in his own boat last sum-mer at age 95. He was an avid skier, a world traveler, a painter and a lover of good parties. His first wife died in 1993. He married Marga-ret DeTar Baumgartner the same year.

Mr. DeBard leaves his wife, Margaret; his children, Ellen DeBard Adle and her husband Parviz of Duxbury, Nancy DeBard Pratt and her husband A.

A memorial service will be held on Satur-day, Dec. 11 at 11 a.m. at the Old Ship Church in Hingham.

Elanne Law Smith of St. Simons Island, Ga. and Bequia, West Indies, formerly of Dux-bury, died Nov. 21 of resulting complications from a stroke. Mrs. Smith was born Sept. 13, 1933 in Thomasville, Ga. She had a passion for history, travel, and the great outdoors. She was a lifelong member and supporter of the Colonial Dames in Georgia and Massachusetts. In Bequia, she was a dedicated member of the island’s community where she supported local children’s education. She would frequently take a two mile swim around the bay beneath her home.

Mrs. Smith attended Mary Baldwin Col-lege in Virginia. She had been a member of

the Junior League of both Richmond, Va. and Boston. She was a member of the Duxbury Yacht Club as well as the Deep Run Hunt Club of Virginia.

Millbrook Motors no morewhere only the service part of the building was open, but the Loring family –– who have been involved with the busi-ness since the 50s –– was try-ing to start selling cars again.

“We’re getting there,” said Edwin “Chip” Loring, whose grandfather started the busi-ness in 1954, in an interview with the Clipper in May. “It’s going to take time to get back into it.”

Loring and his sister Lee said at the time new cars were being delivered to the lot.

Efforts to contact Loring for comment were unsuccess-ful.

For many years, Jeeps have been ubiquitous around Duxbury because of their abil-ity to drive on the beach with four-wheel drive –– the cars are jokingly refereed to as “Duxbury Cadillacs.”

Tedesco Auctions will be selling off some of the dealer-ship’s property during a public auction on Saturday, Dec. 11, at 11 a.m., on the business site at 1474 Tremont St.

“We’re known for auction-ing car dealerships,” Joe Te-desco said.

Tedesco will not be selling off the cars (those have gone back to Jeep) or the property,

but rather dealership-related items like parts, the car wash, garage equipment, two antique Jeeps and other service ve-hicles. He said potential buy-ers will be other people in the industry.

“Other dealerships, people that repair cars,” he said. “The equipment’s all the same.”

He said one of the antiques, a 1946 Willies with 388 miles on it, would be of interest to collectors.

“That’s pretty rare,” he said.

Tedesco did not know the state of the building or of the Jeep franchise license. When the business suspended sell-ing cars, they did not lose the license, according to Loring in the May article. An e-mail send to Jeep Corporate seek-ing clarification of this issue was not returned by press time, however Duxbury is no longer listed as a franchise on Jeep’s Web site.

The assessors office at Town Hall said they still have Millbrook Enterprises, c/o Ed-win Loring, as the owner of the property. However a search of property records at the Plym-outh County Registry of Deeds reveals state and federal tax liens placed on the land. The state liens total $55,028.65, according to the Registry of

Deeds Web site. The Federal liens total $53,093.

A list of unpaid town tax-es, published in the Duxbury Clipper on Nov. 3, also shows $6,830.92 owed in 2010 real estate taxes and $110.65 for the CPA surcharge under Mill-brook Enterprises, Inc.

The assessor’s office has the 1.96 acres property valued at 1,055,200 for the land and the buildings.

Merchants in the Cox Cor-ner neighborhood said they aren’t greatly affected by the business’s closing.

“There hasn’t been a large change,” said Sharon Alwardt from Vintages Wine Shop. “The technicians often came in for lunch and they would probably pick up beer and wine on their way home. We also got a few people walking over here while waiting for their cars to buy snacks, but I haven’t noticed a large change in customers.”

Tedesco, who deals with many auto dealerships, said Millbrook Motors had a ster-ling reputation.

“I believe they’re one of the oldest jeep dealers in the country,” he said. “People went there for years, I never heard anybody say anything against them. You can tell by the way they ran their business everybody liked them.”

Clipper Intern Erin Thorp contributed to this report.

speCial to the Clipper

Marj Burgard, an 81-year-old Vil-lage at Duxbury

resident and Cohasset native, recently brought home four first-place medals from the World Rowing Champion-ships in St. Catharine’s, On-tario. She also placed fourth in a doubles race, partnering with her son Dick Burbridge of Hingham.

More than 3,000 rowers from 33 countries competed in the World Masters Regatta sponsored by The Fédération Internationale des Sociétés d’Aviron, or FISA for short.

A lifelong sailor, Burgard began to row recreational shells in the 1960s, after her late husband Arthur Martin, a naval architect, developed the famous Alden Ocean Shell. Wider and more stable than a racing shell, this boat that she helped pioneer –– and contin-ues to champion –– has intro-duced many people to the sport of recreational rowing.

Decades later, after her husband had passed away, Burgard decided to master the single racing shell when

she was 65 years old. By this time, she had married an-other rower, Ralph Burgard. She became a certified row-ing coach, and won when she raced for the first time in the Head of the Charles in 1999, at the age of 75. She rowed for three more years in the Head of the Charles before testing her skills against other rowers from around the world in the 2001 FISA World Masters Re-gatta. That year, she won five gold medals, including the mixed doubles race with her

husband.During the final ceremony

of this year’s World Masters Regatta, Burgard was the only woman to be inducted into the Ancient Order of the Oars, an honor bestowed upon rowers older than 80 who have com-peted in at least one world’s race. She shared the podium with men from Japan, Germa-ny, Switzerland and the uSA.

“The adrenaline rush that comes from pushing oneself to the limit, so all those endor-phins are bursting within you – there just isn’t any feeling like it,” said Burgard. “I row because I can’t help it.”

This winter could be a difficult time for some of our neigh-bors to keep their homes heated. Last year, nearly 150 families in Duxbury asked for fuel assistance from the Duxbury Inter-faith Council and the South Shore Community Action Council. The DIC depends on donations to meet these heating needs.

Anyone can help support a new fuel assistance fund this holiday season with the purchase of a gift certificate for “ the person who has everything.” Consider making a donation in their name to the Duxbury Fuel Assistance Fund. Stop by the Duxbury Senior Center to pur-chase the decorative certificate that you can give announcing that a donation had been given in the recipients name to sup-port The Duxbury Fuel Assis-tance Fund. The money raised supports the Outreach Com-mittee of the Duxbury Inter-faith Council, which amongst other things, provides fuel as-sistance for those in need in our community.

The Christmas season is a time of joy and expectation. It can also be a time of considerable stress, as well as a time when the memory of loss and pain are felt even more deep-ly. Pilgrim Church of Duxbury will again be having a “Long Night Service, an Advent Service of Hope and Healing,” on Sunday, Dec. 12, at 7 p.m. This service is open for anyone seeking a time of stillness and peace, a time to feel the light of God’s grace while we acknowledge and remember our sense of loss and isolation.

In addition to the Long Night Service, a series of Candle-light Taize Services will be held on Wednesdays, Dec. 8 and 15, at 7 p.m. In the tradition of the Taize community, the ser-vices consist primarily of meditative singing and a stretch of prayerful silence. The services are expected to last approxi-mately one half hour.

These special services of Advent are open to anyone look-ing for a time of quiet amid the chaotic activity of the season, and seeking peace in the company of friends. All are wel-come.

Uno, Dos, Tres, Spanish at the library

Registration has begun for a series of six bilingual Span-ish storytimes for children ages 3 to 5 at the Duxbury Free Library. The series will be held on Wednesdays, Jan. 5 through Feb. 9, 10:15-11:15 a.m. These are stay alone story times but caregivers need to stay in the library during the program. Children must be able to attend all six weeks. The instructor, Maureen Hol-brook, is a licensed and cer-tified Spanish teacher. Each program will include music, movement, puppets, and a craft with a new theme each week. For more details, check the children’s department Web site program page or call 781-934-2721, x115.


The plans for the fire sta-tion, which will undergo reno-vation rather than replacement, are a bit further along. Voters at Town Meeting this March approved $292,000 for design funds for a 7,860 square foot addition to the existing Main Street fire station.

Martecchini said the need for a fire station expansion is driven by several factors, in-cluding a leaking roof and the need for new, gender-separated sleeping quarters.

“This is their home. They live here, they eat here, they sleep here,” he said. “We do not have facilities for female firefighters.”

There was never a debate about the location for the fire station, the way there is regard-ing the police headquarters.

“The fire station has to be pretty much where it is,” Mar-tecchini said. “It’s perfectly located in terms of response time.”

The construction will in-volve tearing down the exist-ing crew quarters wing, and constructing a new 6,170 wing in its place. There will be ad-ministrative space on the first floor and crew quarters on the second floor. The chief’s of-

fice and administration is cur-rently on the station’s second floor, which can be difficult for the public to access. (The crew quarters is not a public space.)

The quarters will be three double-bed bunk rooms.

“It works pretty much like a college dormitory,” Martec-chini said.

The front entrance will be moved to the new wing, which will also have some storage for equipment currently be-ing housed in the main vehicle bay.

The renovations will also include a small three-bay ga-rage, where Fire Chief Kevin Nord said smaller equipment like boats and trailers will be stored.

“We want to get some of those trailers out of the weath-er,” Nord said.

The main bay will be left as is, with some code upgrades.

“Believe it or not, we don’t have a fire alarm system in the building at all,” Martecchini said.

Based on preliminary draw-ings, he said the estimated total cost of the project is $4,403,000 (the committee will ask for a little more at Town Meeting.)

The contract bid docu-ments will be ready by January,

and construction could begin in July of 2011, with the project to be completed by the end of the summer.

He said the poor economy may have a silver lining and they may be able to do the proj-ect for less money.

“From a value perspective ... this is the absolute best time to be looking for construction. Contractors are very hungry,” Martecchini said.

There were few questions from the audience about the fire project, aside from some minor architectural details. The police station, however, was a different story.

“The police station is in a little bit different mode,” Mar-

tecchini said. “There was no question we were going to be building a new police station.”

Last year, Town Meeting appropriated $30,000 in capital funds for site selection and con-ceptual design. The committee looked at four sites originally, although one on Route 53 was quickly ruled out.

A town-owned parcel on Lincoln Street, currently des-ignated for affordable hous-ing purposes, was also passed over. Martecchini said the site has many neighbors, as well as other issues.

The current location of the police station, on West Street, was rejected because it’s not large enough to accommodate a new station without buying neighboring property, which would increase the price, Mar-tecchini said.

“It’s not big enough to site the building we needed to site,” he said, estimating that a station built on West Street could have a “premium” of up to a million dollars.

“We had a lot of debate, there was a lot of consideration for keeping it at the old site.”

The committee settled, however, on a parcel of land next to the transfer station on Mayflower Street.

There will be about 150 feet of buffer between the proposed station and homes on Cranberry Hill. Martecchini said they will try to put “active space” on the other side of the station.

The committee also inves-tigated some potentially sticky environmental issues and got the all clear.

“Our investigation says yes, we can build on this ... ba-sically, there’s nothing of con-cern,” Martecchini said.

Architect Greg Carrell said that the layout of a police station has to be carefully de-signed, keeping in mind that many different people used the station –– police, the pub-lic, and criminals –– and those groups have to be kept sepa-rate.

“The issue with designing a police station is you’re deal-ing with multiple and divergent users and uses,” he said. “The real challenge is to design a building so that all these dif-ferent functions can work to-gether”

Martecchini said the pro-jected cost of the police station is $6,600,000, but that is much less defined than the fire proj-ect.

The group will ask for $300,000 for design funds at the 2011 Town Meeting. If all goes according to plan, con-struction could begin in the summer of 2012.

“Somewhere in 2013 we’ll have a new police station,” Martecchini said.

Despite the committee’s view, residents at the meeting still had questions about the Mayflower Street site. Many said they’d prefer the current location at West Street –– even if the cost was higher.

Some asked about traffic on Mayflower Street, especially on weekends when the transfer station is busy. However, Police Chief Matthew Clancy said the congestion on West Street dur-ing commuter hours can cause problems for police getting in and out of the station.

“That roadway ... it’s not an ideal location for our offi-cers responding to your emer-gencies,” Clancy said.

Even people who weren’t sure about the site, however, were firm in their belief a new station was needed.

“I think we desperately cannot afford to wait another year for police and fire,” said Jean Clark. “The police station is a shameful disgrace to this town.”

End the farce at North Hill

Duxbury has suffered enough in terms of headaches and legal fees on the North Hill Golf Course contract dispute. Even if there was something to

Doug Johnson’s persistent conspiracy allegations, he’s violated a legal contract and put the town at risk by not providing a insurance bond. So what’s the holdup?

Here’s the essence of the case: The contract to manage the golf course was put out to bid. Calm Golf bid the most money, and therefore was awarded the contract. That’s what we have to hold as the truth unless we are presented with evidence to the contrary. And Johnson, despite years of legal blustering and maneuvering, has failed to provide that evidence.

In his deposition, when pressed to offer proof of this vast conspiracy against him, Johnson came up with nothing other than a meaningless (in a legal sense) letter to the Clipper, saying “it will all come out in discovery.”

You’d think that Mr. Johnson, after being in court so much over the past several years, would know that’s not how the legal system works. You gather the evidence, then file the lawsuit. No evidence? Then a judge should throw out the suit.

Yet for some reason, Judge Herman J. Smith, Jr. of the Middlesex County Superior Court (who rules over this case even though the North Hill Golf Course is in Plymouth County) sees fit to side with Johnson again and again. Judge Smith even reduced the amount of the insurance bond Johnson needed. How does he know what it would cost to properly insure a nine-hole municipal golf course? Did Johnson provide documentation proving why the bond should be reduced, or did Judge Smith do it sight unseen?

There are some fishy things about even the most recent ruling. Judge Smith cites the fact that Town Manager Richard MacDonald gave limited answers in his deposition as evidence he acted in bad faith during the bidding process. Does Judge Smith have a lot of defendants that volunteer more information on the stand than necessary? Sounds like good legal strategy to us.

As Town Counsel Bob Troy outlined in his motion, Smith seems to have even the basic facts of the case wrong, saying that MacDonald did not notify all bidders when he threw out the initial bid for the course’s management and that he did not provide a reason in writing. Incorrect on both counts –– and unlike Johnson, the town backs up its claims with documentation.

Johnson has several serious violations of the contract under which he continues to run the course. Duxbury has to have a right to move on from a management company that cannot honor the terms of a legally binding contract. Yet Doug Johnson and Judge Smith seem determined to prevent that from happening. And who loses? The taxpayers, who have to pay the legal bills for this farce.

–– J. Graeber

My son has been at-tending the Dol-phins swim club

at the Percy Walker Pool Friday afternoons quite enjoyably for the past year and a half. On Fri-day, Dec. 3, as soon as I picked him up, he relayed that the “big kids” swim team had been in the locker room upon his arriv-al, and he was appalled at their

interactions. Let’s just say the language was debase and the comments quite inappropriate for an 11-year-old’s ears. I’d like my son to look up to our high school athletes for the great sportsmen they are, not shy from them for crude displays of young manhood. Please remind your sons that they never know who is listening, and they may

send unintended lasting impres-sions. The Percy Walker pool is a town facility, please treat it and its patrons with the respect deserved. And yes, he repeated every single word he heard, and could not believe that “kids in Duxbury” talk this way.

With regard to the article in the Clipper last week

regarding the newly signed contract with Comcast, it was stated that there “has been no local programming since the lapse of the former contract.” Actually, local programming has continued as it has for the past 14 years on Comcast’s Channel 13. In the past several

weeks, for example, the chan-nel has aired interviews with locals Carey Alexander of the Village at Duxbury, Ben Goo-drich, Bob Puopolo and Roy Kelly. This week the channel is airing an interview with Ste-ven Karidoyanes discussing the up-coming Holiday Concert by the Plymouth Philharmonic. (These can be seen on the twice weekly program “Profession-

ally Speaking.”)While Channel 13 is only

available to Comcast subscrib-ers, future plans include Dux-bury programming to be added to PAC-TV channel 43 for Ve-rizon subscribers, making local shows available to both sub-scriber homes.

I’d like to thank the town and your gracious har-bormaster, Don Beers,

for being the best harbormas-ter we’ve had in 50 years. I’ve been sailing in Duxbury since the 60s and he’s really terrific (and I remember back to the low days of Manny Oliver). On Thursday, my boat, the last keelboat in Two Rock Channel,

was beached in the small storm, at Freeman Place. He called me immediately to offer help to get the boat off, within his off-sea-son resources. In cold weeks past, as I’ve been working on the boat, he, Jake and Mike have kept close tabs on me, concerned for my safety and to protect the town’s interests. In yesterday’s very high tide, he

was able to drag me seaward and put me on his spare harbor mooring, just in time for boat hauling on Monday. We have a wonderful resource in Har-bormaster Beers and I’m very grateful.

The members of the Community Garden Club of Duxbury

wish to thank all the residents and merchants who supported our Holiday Greens Sale and Boutique. We had record suc-cess in our wreath sale, in part due to the overwhelming inter-est in our new Duxbury Wreath, using shells donated by Island Creek Oysters. As always, our local merchants generously purchased and displayed our

wreaths throughout the retail areas of town. We hope when you see these handsome holi-day decorations, you are as proud of our beautiful town as we are. Much of the success of our past weekend’s green sale and boutique can be contrib-uted to the thoughtful coverage of the event by local media, in-cluding the Duxbury Clipper. The Masons were great hosts in our new location, the Cor-ner Stone Lodge. Thank you

to all who visited and bought our hand-made arrangements and gifts. It was a great day. As many of you know, the pro-ceeds directly fund town beau-tification, scholarships and community programs. Your support helps us not only con-tribute to the holiday spirit, but to community spirit throughout the year.

In the spirit of the holiday season, I want-ed to express my gratitude to all the won-derful Duxbury High School students,

parents, teachers, administrators and community volunteers who made the second Duxbury Edu-cation Foundation Annual Appeal Phonathon such a tremendous success. The DEF is grateful for the support of our committed volunteers and Duxbury residents, without whom our mission to support innovative programming in the Duxbury Schools would never be realized.

A huge thanks and much appreciation goes to 40 DHS student volunteers, Superintendent Ben Tantillo, DHS Principal Andrew Stevens, Chandler School Principal Suzanne Billingham, Assistant Principal Krissy Chase, former Chan-dler School Principal Deb Zetterberg, School Committee member Maureen Connolly as well as many teachers, former DEF board members and other community supporters who made in excess of 3,500 calls. The event could not have been possible without the generosity of Duxbury businesses Coldwell Banker, Vantage Realty, William Raveis and Coastal Construction who opened their offices as call sites.

A special thank you to DEF board members

To all who are part of the Duxbury Community: Together, we can fill the baskets for over 100 families in Dux-

bury in need of assistance. For the December holidays, the Duxbury Interfaith Council needs your help in assisting these residents. Imagine the smiles on the faces of these folks when they sit down to a full holiday meal complete with gifts for the children. These families are current-ly just meeting the basic necessities to sustain themselves and you can help!

You can help in any one of three ways. First, there will be a food drive in which you will have the opportunity to provide canned vegetables, brownie mixes, stuffing, in store baked goods and cereal. You will be able to drop off your food do-nations at Foodie’s on Dec. 11 from 8 a.m. till 12 noon. Additionally, for the December holidays, gifts are given to the children of these families.

Second, donations of money are needed. The Council needs $60,000 annually to support our mission and 100 percent of donations go back to the community. Baskets cost between $50 and $75 each. Gifts for the children in December cost $25 per child. Third, you can volunteer. We are always in need of volunteers to assist in prepar-ing these wonderful food baskets.

Make the holidays happy holidays for the 100 plus families that we assist. Donate food on Dec. 11. Send your monetary donations to the Interfaith Council, PO Box 1161, Duxbury, MA 02332. Contact us to volunteer, [email protected], 781-934-8388. Whether you can donate $5 or $500, we appreciate it all. The Duxbury Interfaith Council is a tax exempt public charity under the IRS 501 c3.

Federal regulators with FEMA recently evalu-ated a table-top exer-

cise intended to test the readi-ness of emergency responders and adequacy of plans to re-spond to a severe accident at the Pilgrim Nuclear Power Plant. The FEMA bureaucrats identi-fied one problem – Duxbury’s Emergency Planning Director and Fire Chief showed that he was a leader who could think on his feet! The “pretend” disaster was caused by an earthquake. It had a ripple effect and the Powder Point Bridge collapsed. But the bridge’s collapse was not in the script, and Federal officials had no instructions in the plan to deal with this “ripple effect.” However Chief Nord came off script and acted immediately. He directed police to the bridge to keep folks off it and re-routed traffic from Gurnet-Saquish and the Duxbury Beach through Marshfield. He then immediately notified the town of Marshfield to expect evacu-ees and the town of Plymouth, which owns Gurnet-Saquish, as to the whereabouts of its citizens. Moral of the story: The federal regulators apparently do not approve of emergency management directors showing that they can think. Local emergency manage-ment directors who can think risk getting spanked by FEMA. Un-like FEMA, residents in our town should thank their lucky stars to have Chief Kevin Nord in Duxbury!

Sadie, Sadie, Carried Lady

(and Men, too!)By Anne Antonellis

Many may remember Barbara Streisand singing a song by a similar name in the 1968 movie Funny Girl. But our Sadie, combined with

a dedicated troupe of drivers, makes beautiful music for the enjoyment and benefit of all Council On Aging (COA) members and the community at large.

Many seniors don’t realize what a gem we have here in Duxbury, a whole fleet of “Sadies,” 12-person vans owned and/or managed by the Duxbury Senior Center. There are three vans, more like short busses, that are there for the asking.

The original one, nicknamed “Sadie”, is primarily used for general transport. Many count on it routinely to get to and from the Duxbury Senior Center. Just call ahead for an appointment and you will get picked up and dropped off right at your house, condo or apartment.

Sadie 2, the “Medical Van,” is primarily used for transport to/from medical facilities and doctor’s offices for appointments and treatment. This van will bring you directly to your own doctor as far south as Jordan Hospital or as far north as South Shore Hospital. Just call ahead for an appointment.

The newest van (no nickname yet) seats 14 and is owned by Gatra, but operated by the Duxbury Senior Center (same is true for the Medical Van). It is primarily used for field trips to events like “Shakespeare on Boston Common,” Festival of Trees in Plymouth, New Bedford Whaling Museum and local community theatre. All three vans are sometimes pressed into service for groups larger than 14. All vehicles are maintained in tip-top condition and have wheelchair lifts built in.

And these vans aren’t just for seniors. They also serve handicapped adults throughout the community. The drivers carry along a broad smile and sharp wit the whole trip-both directions! So if you need transportation to doctor appointments or to a Duxbury Senior Center event, just call ahead 781-934-5774 and we’ll pick you up!

Ms. Antonellis is a member of the Council on Aging.

FROM THE ARCHIVES

The first week of December in 1990, 20 years

ago, extreme high tides coupled with pounding rain left many parts of Duxbury underwater. A rare alignment of the sun, earth and moon pulled ocean tides to 13.6 feet, much higher than nor-mal. King Caesar Road, Powder Point and Gurnet Road were hardest hit. Here, a gas truck heads down King Caesar Road in deep water.

Very often, words on memo-rial bricks need some explain-ing; this one might be cryptic to someone who never wore a uni-form. Henry Reynolds served in World War One in the 103rd Infantry and was awarded both the Silver Star and Purple Heart Medals. He also proudly wore the Victory Medal.

Ironically, he fought in Eu-rope in “The War to End All Wars” on some of the same bat-tlefields his son, Hank, would fight to hold against the same foe in World War Two. The son, Hank Reynolds, is now an old man but still remembers viv-idly the sense of déjà vu when he marched through villages in 1943 which his father had risked his life to defend against the German Army in 1918.

Henry Reynolds was born in Uxbridge, Massachusetts on Jan. 16, 1891. He was from Irish stock on both sides, as were many from this turn of the century mill town on the Blackstone River. Schools in mill towns like Uxbridge were small and few students gradu-ated from their high schools. Henry beat the odds when a teacher, Miss Sessions, en-couraged her bright student and urged him to apply for the town scholarship to Brown University.

He believed in himself, as did she, and on June 17th of 1914 he graduated from Brown University. His B.A. was made possible by the Uxbridge Schol-arship plus a variety of college jobs to supplement it. Within a month he had secured a posi-tion with Swift and Company and worked for them in their Chicago and Denver locations.

When the U.S. newspapers began reporting the inevitabili-ty of the United States entering World War One he volunteered for service and, in August 1917, trained at Camp Devens, Mas-sachusetts as a Private. He was soon recognized as officer ma-terial and sent to Camp Philip Sheridan in Illinois where he underwent officer training and emerged in November of that year as a Second Lieutenant of Infantry.

Two months later he was on a troop ship to France where he was inserted into the French Army to observe and learn their trench warfare techniques.

Four months later the 103rd In-fantry, 26th Division arrived in Europe and he joined them to teach the Doughboys what the French had learned the hard way about trench warfare and the German enemy.

April and June found them engaged with the Germans in the Toul sector and, by the end of July, the 26th “Yankee” Di-vision was under heavy enemy fire in the 2nd Battle of the Marne.

Henry Reynolds received the following citation:

“I have read with much pleasure the reports of your Regimental Commander and Brigade Commander regard-ing your gallant conduct and devotion to duty on the field on July 18 – 25, 1918 in the attack under heavy enemy fire during the 2nd Battle of the Marne and have ordered your name and deeds to be entered in the re-cord of the Yankee Division”

The citation was signed by Major-General Clarence R. Edwards, the Commander of the 26th Division.

It was during the action referenced by Commander Edwards that Henry suffered wounds on July 20 for which he was awarded the Purple Heart. Although shot and bleeding, he was still able and willing to help several of his wounded men to safety. It was also dur-ing this engagement that he was enveloped in mustard gas and yet continued to carry his comrades and not take the time to don a gas mask.

In a cruel twist of fate he survived his wounds and the gassing but, while recuperat-ing in a French Hospital, was erroneously reported killed in action in many of the news-papers serving his hometown. The date reported for his death was July 20, 1918.

Back in Uxbridge, his fam-ily, friends and fiancée, Laura McGuire, were devastated by the news. His father in particu-lar took the headlines hard and spent many sleepless nights in his backyard staring at the stars and weeping.

Luckily, while convalesc-ing in the hospital, Henry was able to send a postcard home and his mother noticed that the date Henry had written on the card was well after his reported demise in battle.

Soon Henry was back in the thick of the fighting. In September he took part in the St. Mihiel Offensive and from October to November was in action at Chateau Thierry and Verdun. During this time he was promoted to First Lieuten-ant.

On April 6, of 1919 Henry arrived back in Boston, paraded through the city, and was soon discharged from the Army at Fort Devens, Massachusetts.

By June he had married the fiancée who had believed him dead, Laura C. McGuire, in Whitinsville, Massachu-setts and was again at work for Swift and Company. They sent the young war hero to Chicago, then Pittsburgh and finally to Wheeling, West Virginia before transferring him back to New England. He and Laura had four children, Mary G., Isabel C., Henry P., Jr. and Ruth E.

Henry P. Reynolds, Sr. worked for Swift and Com-pany in an executive capacity until his death from liver can-cer in 1951. It is believed by his family that the cancer was a result of being mustard gassed in France. If true, Henry made the ultimate sacrifice for his country.

Hank, the son who now bears his name, remembers him as a brilliant, loving, un-derstanding and brave family man, traditions his son Hank carried on.

SUBLUXATION OF A DIFFERENT SORT While chiropractors use the word “subluxation” primarily to describe a misalignment of the spine, it also describes common condi-tions associated with dislocated joints. One example of such is the injury known as “hip subluxation,” which may result from the trauma of a car crash or a hit in a football game. Hip subluxation is a partial dislocation of the joint, in which the ball at the top of the femur moves in and out of the joint with-out tearing the capsule surround-ing the joint. Prompt diagnosis and treatment of this injury (which is often dismissed as a hip strain or sprain) is crucial. Up to 25% of hip subluxation injuries lead to bone death within the hip joint. If you or anyone in your fam-ily has suffered a sports-related or vehicle-related injury, examina-

tion and care by your chiroprac-tor can be a great benefit. Chi-ropractic is enormously effective in treating and preventing injuries and improving overall health.

Hip subluxation is associated with high-energy impact athletic events such as rugby, water skiing, alpine skiing/snowboarding, gym-nastics, running, basketball, race car driving, and equestrian sports.

The monu-ment lists those from Duxbury who served their nation in World War One. The bricks bear the names and sentiments of oth-ers, some once in uniform, some still in uniform, some who served their loved ones in other ways and all of them recognized for and by those they touched.

If you purchased a brick in someone’s memory, call and let us tell the story your gift hints at. The bricks series is written by Steve Donovan. He can be reached at 781-837-7782.

Henry reynolds, whose name graces a brick at the World War I monument in front of town hall, earned the silver star, Purple Heart and Victory medals.


By Michelle conwAy, clipper coluMnist [email protected]

My husband re-cently travelled to Berlin Germa-

ny and had a private medieval dinner at Zitadelle Castle. What follows is an email he sent to me about this unique dining experience. Enjoy!

After crossing a wooden bridge, we entered Zitadellen Schaenke through massive wooden doors and were shown into the dining room where we were greeted by two women in period dress who helped us wash our hands. One woman had a large copper basin filled with warm water and rose petals. You held your hands over an empty bowl, and she poured rose water over your hands. Another woman held a large white cloth to dry your hands. We entered the large candle lit room and were greeted by our host for the evening. He gave us instruc-tions and played music for us on a beautiful ancient version of a bagpipe, and a guitar. We were given thick paper bibs to protect our shirts and use to wipe our hands on.

Our utensils included only a pewter plate, a knife, a ce-ramic cup and a crude metal ladle sort of thing (for the soup), and nothing more. Ta-bles were long solid wood, lit with large candles; at the base of the candles, were bunches of radishes freshly pulled from the ground and only washed off (still had all the greens). A two-tiered plate held cut celery and carrot sticks and the top plate had a variety of very fatty meats. One was a kielbasa-like sausage curled around a pickle. Another was a cooked pig’s knuckle. The last was a thick slab of a fatty piece of some sort of ham. Lastly, there was a large round loaf of spicy sour dough bread, warm and freshly baked, on a pewter plate set over a small candle to keep it warm.

Once we sat, we were handed a two foot long hollow bull’s horn filled to the brim with fresh mead. One person

would take a gulp from the horn and then pass it to the person next to them. It was delicious, and potent. We had no forks or spoons, so we tore hunks of bread off with our hands. There was a container of what looked like butter to spread on the bread. How-ever, it turned out to be very delicious duck fat. We used our knives to hack off hunks of the meats to eat with our hands. I’m sure my doctor would have cringed at the fat content, but it was delicious! The radishes were nice to clear your palate. There was also a rough cup full of a mixture of very large grained salt and pepper.

Next was Farmhand’s Soup – a wild animal broth. Not sure what animal though. It was very basic, but incredibly tasty. It was carried to the table in large black metal pots, and then you scooped your serving into your “ladle” and drank it out of there. In addition to broth and meat there was po-tato, onion, and turnip. Mean-while, waitresses brought tall mugs of beer (light or dark) or wine to drink.

After the soup course they brought a large boneless leg of lamb that was stuffed with a sausage. The lamb was very tender, perfectly roasted over a fire, and covered in pepper-corns and such. We just cut off hunks with our knives. They also brought delicious fire baked potatoes and dumped them right on the table. Just grab one with your hands and eat it like an apple!

After the main course, serv-ers brought a huge ladle filled with fruity schnapps which was passed around the table for everyone to take a swig from. Like the horn, there was no way to set it down (rounded bottom), so it was passed until

empty.Dessert was a shallow dish

filled with baked pears and raisins. Delicious! We actu-ally got forks to eat this. Af-ter dessert, came the cheese course which included three large chunks of aged moun-tain cheeses to conclude our trip back to the medieval era. A memorable evening that I wish we could have shared to-gether, but I hope that through reading this, you feel at least a part of what it was like to have been there.

Johnson has been running the course since Feb. 2, 2009, even though his contract ended in December of 2008, courtesy of a preliminary injunction. The injunction was vacated on Oct. 25, 2010, but the legal

battle is far from over.The town filed an emergen-

cy motion for reconsideration Monday after Judge Herman J. Smith, Jr., issued another pre-liminary injunction on Nov. 24 keeping the town from award-ing the management contract. Town officials had said they wanted to start the entire pro-cess over and send the contract back out to bid.

In the town’s motion, dated Dec. 4, Town Counsel Robert Troy of Troy Wall As-sociates stated that the Nov. 24 ruling should be reconsidered because the town has adhered to state law all along.

“There is no evidence of bad faith on behalf of the town because the town strictly ad-hered to the requirements of GL. c. 30 B [the state bidding statute] in rejecting the first round of proposals, reissuing the RFP, and awarding the contract,” Troy wrote.

Troy also said the fact that Duxbury wants to vacate all bids and start the process over gives Johnson no basis for a lawsuit.

Furthermore, Troy says that when the town went to serve process to Johnson, they found he no longer occupies his address in Weston, which is located in Middlesex County.

“The court has no juris-diction over this matter be-cause venue is improper,” Troy wrote. “The plaintiff is engaged in forum shopping, deceiving this court and the town by failing to disclose that it sold the property now listed as its principal place of busi-ness in current corporate fil-ings with the Commonwealth. The court should not subsi-dize Johnson Golf’s deceptive

practice.”In a previous investigation,

the Clipper examined several lawsuits Johnson Golf brought against municipalities. In ev-ery instance, Johnson sued in Middlesex Superior Court even if the golf course in ques-

tion was in another county.The principal office of

Johnson Golf Management, Inc. is listed as 11 Bayberry Lane, in Weston, according to the Mass. Secretary of State’s office. Douglas Johnson is listed as the president, direc-tor CFO, CEO and treasurer of the company, all at the same address.

The address appears to be a private residence. The cur-rent owners are William and Debra McNamara, and they purchased the property on Oct. 1, 2009, according to the Weston assessors’ office.

Troy also says that Judge Smith based his Nov. 24 rul-ing, which holds that the town and MacDonald acted in “bad faith,” on incorrect informa-tion.

In the injunction, Smith wrote that MacDonald failed to notify all the bidders when the initial round of bids were rejected in 2009. He also said the town did not issue a written explanation for its decision.

Both these counts are un-true, Troy wrote in the emer-gency motion.

“The Town Manager was required by GL c. 30B ... to reject all the bids because the price proposals had been opened and one of the evalua-tors knew the respective price components of the bids before composite scores were able to be obtained from the evalua-tors,” Troy wrote, saying that MacDonald was acting in ac-cordance with guidelines set out by the inspector general.

As an addendum to his mo-tion, Troy filed in court copies of letters, all dated Dec. 3, 2008, sent from MacDonald to all the bidders informing them

that the town was exercising its right to reject all bids. At-tached was also an affidavit from Gordon Cushing, who was one of the evaluators dur-ing the initial bidding process. Cushing wrote that he had seen the price proposals before the composite evaluations were completed, forcing MacDon-ald to reject all bids and start the process over again.

Johnson’s attorney, Ste-phen Follansbee, did not return phone calls seeking comment.

Troy said that the ongoing legal battle may have an effect on membership at North Hill.

“Paralysis of the mem-bership process, public con-fidence issues, confusion and uncertainty now threaten to close North Hill,” Troy wrote in the motion.

Judge Smith was taking the town’s motion under ad-visement, as of press time.

The winter holiday season is a special time of year when all of us come together as fam-ily and friends, but most of all, come together as a community to help others in need. The Holy Family Church under-stands this very well and held its annual Interfaith Council’s Thanksgiving Basket drive. Headed by Doreen Driver, the co-chairmen of the bas-ket project, the Holy Family Church asked for donations of canned foods for the drive.

Donations were received from the Student Union, various schools, different congrega-tions, the Senior Center, and private donors. People from all over town, from different religions and organizations all came together to help those in need. On Nov. 21 and 22, the basement of the Holy Family Church was filled with people eager to help in the collecting and sorting of the donations. The drive helped provide food for over 130 people this year.

On Wednesday, Dec. 1, a group of Duxbury High School students under the supervision of Maura O’Rahilly hosted a depression awareness/suicide prevention program for a group of their peers from Weymouth, Scituate and Norwell high schools. The curriculum was provided by the Youth Health Connection, an organization from South Shore Hospital that sponsors community events.

The full-day program in-cluded warm-up activities, a presentation by Dr. Barbara Greene, a video, and skits pre-pared by the students, all of which were designed to height-en awareness of the causes and symptoms of depression and help students seek appropriate avenues for help.

“It was a lot more fun than I thought it would be,” said Aidan Garrity, a junior. “It was great meeting students from different schools and sharing ideas. A lot of kids had been through the training before. We learned about the symptoms of depression. If you see anyone picked on, or their grades are slumping or they’re tired, then we can help them out.”

Heather Rotman, a sopho-more, thought the video, which told the stories of real people, was helpful.

“I learned that if a friend talks to you about depression or suicide, you should talk to a guidance counselor or trusted adult right away because you don’t want anything to hap-pen,” she said.

“The kids volunteered for the project,” according to O’Rahilly, who is the student assistance counselor and a li-censed independent clinical social worker. “They took it very seriously and were highly involved. The goal is to reduce the stigma associated with this problem in the school.” She added that the students would like to take the program school-

wide in an assembly and create a co-curricular group of peer leaders so they can continue the initiative.

While O’Rahilly works one-on-one with students during the day, she is also a member of the Student Health Advisory Council, which was directed by the School Com-mittee to analyze the data from the district wide school risk behavior survey. The Depres-sion Awareness program is just one project that has developed as a result of this charge.

O’Rahilly also advises the DHS chapter of Students Against Destructive Decisions, an active co-curricular group. During the Dec. 2 advisory, ap-proximately 40 SADD mem-bers presented a curriculum from the Massachusetts SADD called Buzz Check, which fo-cuses on substance abuse.

According to junior Bobby Boyle, who is president of the organization, “We showed a video about two teenagers and their experiences with sub-stance abuse. Then we used those stories to start conver-sations educating freshmen about it. The freshmen really enjoyed the video. They knew the kids in it were legit and not actors who were trying to

preach what adults tell them to say.”

Junior Ben Hayes agreed. “We were a really big influ-ence on them. They seemed to be interested in what we had to say.” They plan to present a similar program to the sopho-mores on Dec. 16.

SADD offers regular ac-tivities promoting good choic-es. Junior Nora Serres said, “We do lots of fun stuff like sidewalk chalk when we wrote slogans on the sidewalk about texting and driving. Last year at prom we gave out Lifesav-ers with stickers about not drinking.”

Theodore J. “Ted” Flynn, a longtime resident of Duxbury,

announced this week that he is a candidate for selectman.

Flynn has been an active member of the community for more than 30 years. He was appointed to the Finance Committee in 1982, following a two-year term on the Bylaw Review Committee. He also served on the Town Manage-ment Study Committee (1985-1987), which led a successful effort to modernize town gov-ernment by creating the posi-tion of Town Manager. There-after, Flynn chaired the Solid Waste Advisory Committee (1988-1990), which brought recycling to Duxbury. In 1990, he was elected to the School Committee and served for two terms, including as chairman.

After six years on the School Committee, Flynn was appointed to the Town Manage-ment Study Committee (1997-1998) and more recently, to the Town Government Study Committee (2004-2006). He has been an elected member and chair of the Board of Li-brary Trustees since 1998.

In announcing his candi-dacy, Flynn said: “It’s easy to manage in good fiscal times, a much more difficult job in an atmosphere of dramatically reduced funding. We will have to make the best of many not-

so-good choices for the near future.

“I bring institutional knowledge to the Board of Se-lectmen as well as a good un-derstanding of town finances. From my experiences in town government, my profession, and my work for charitable organizations, I have learned how to bring disparate indi-viduals and groups together to work toward a common goal. I look forward to continuing to serve Duxbury and hope you will consider giving me your vote.”

Flynn is President/CEO of the Massachusetts Society of Certified Public Accountants (MSCPA), a 10,500-member professional association. In addition to his years of public service, Flynn has given his expertise to several non-profit organizations. He is currently

vice-chair of the Board of Di-rectors of the New England Center for Homeless Veterans, and past chair of the National Board of Regents, Center for Leadership Development, U.S. Chamber of Commerce. He has served as a director of the Massachusetts Adoption Resource Exchange and past president of two business as-sociations: the New England Society of Association Execu-tives and the National CPA So-cieties Executive Association. While his children were grow-ing up in Duxbury, he coached soccer, basketball, and Little League teams.

Flynn is a graduate of Marist College and a retired captain in the U.S. Coast Guard Reserve. He lives on Stockade Path with his wife, Donna.

Art booster organization being formed

Perhaps your third grader wants to be the next Picasso. Or maybe your senior plans on majoring in Fine Arts in col-lege. Or you just think that art is an important part of a well-rounded education. If so, we want you! An Art Boosters or-ganization is being formed and we are looking for volunteers to serve in many different roles including board of directors, fundraising, event support, etc. Parents and community mem-bers are being asked to contact Linda Garrity at 781-837-6194 if you are interested in support-ing art and art education in the Duxbury schools.

Meet Dylan Anderson, Chandler school’s most recent Box Top con-test winner. Dylan guessed accu-rately that there were 72 pump-kins in the jar in the Chandler lobby. Each year, Chandler school earns approximately $1,500 dol-lars through the collection of Box Tops. Because of Chandler stu-dents like Dylan, last year’s goal has already been surpassed. All money earned goes toward aca-demic enrichment for Chandler students.

Duxbury Education Foundation President Fred Clifford and Duxbury High school Principal Andrew stephens present an iPad to senior Aidan DiPrima. Aidan was one of 43 students who signed up to be a caller in DEF’s phonathon to raise money for Duxbury schools, log community service hours and compete for a chance to win an iPad. Pledges and contributions can still be made to DEF at duxburyeduca-tionfoundation.org.

NEW LISTING

The Duxbury Dragons exploded for 21 second-half points enroute to a 35-13 win over the Concord-Carlisle Pa-triots, enabling Coach Dave Maimaron’s squad to capture its third Super Bowl title and second Division 2A crown in the last three years.

“All year long we’ve dom-inated third and fourth quarters because of our depth. We start 22 kids and not many teams can say that,” said Maimaron.

Using the dynamic QB tandem of senior Kane Haffey and junior Matt O’Keefe, the Duxbury offense put up close to 300 passing yards with four TD passes, and used its big-play offense in the second half to beat the Dual County League champions, ending their season at 10-3.

“We’ve been using this combo all year, but decided to go with Haffey down the stretch,” said Maimaron. “We wanted to make sure we got Matt some experience in case we are fortunate enough to get back here next year.”

Every facet of the team contributed to Duxbury’s un-defeated (13-0) season, and it was special teams that got the Dragons off and running in the second quarter when defensive superstar, senior Denis Magu-ire, continued his season-long knack for making big plays at key moments in the contests.

“That blocked punt was

huge to get us going. We re-ally spent a lot of time this year on special teams and we thought we could get one. We thought Randall might get one from the right side, but Magu-ire came in from the left. It wasn’t exactly how we drew it up, but it worked,” said the Duxbury coach. “To get those seven points is so important in these playoff games, to score first with the short quarters.”

With C-C deep in its own territory on its second posses-sion, Maguire blocked the Pa-triots’ punt on the goal line, al-lowing defensive back Reilly Naton to fall on the loose ball in the end zone for a 7-0 lead after Tucker Hannon’s PAT with 8:39 left in the quarter.

The Patriots went to their workhorse on their next pos-session after senior QB Peter George hit a 36-yard comple-tion that brought C-C down to the Duxbury 24-yard line.

George Crann (32 carries/149 yards) carried four straight times for 10 yards and a first down before scampering around the left side for a 14-yard TD run. The extra point tied the game at 7-7.

It was now O’Keefe’s turn to show Patriot League op-ponents what Duxbury has in store for them next year, as the junior took over at QB with less than five minutes to go in the half and the ball at its own 34-yard line.

Running a play that has been one of Duxbury’s most successful all year long, O’Keefe dropped back and hit senior Matt Hallisey wide open down the middle of the Patriot secondary for 40 yards and a first down at the C-C 26-yard line.

Five plays later, O’Keefe spotted junior Andrew Buron in the left corner of the end zone for a 9-yard TD pass with

2:10 to go that gave the Drag-ons a 14-7 lead at halftime.

Coach Mike Robichaud was determined to ride the horse that got his team to the Super Bowl in the second half, and he did just that, as Crann ran it eight times in a 79-yard drive that ended in a 6-yard TD pass. The Patriots tried to catch the Dragons off-guard with a fake 2-point conver-sion, but it failed, leaving C-C with a 14-13 deficit.

It would be the closest Concord-Carlisle would get the rest of the afternoon, as Haffey connected on three straight passes to sophomore Joe Guilfoile (13 yards), ju-nior Don Webber (33 yards), and Hallisey (14 yards and a TD) to take a 21-13 lead fol-lowing Hannon’s PAT.

Following a fruitless Pa-triot possession, the Dragons struck for another big-play

Every Christmas for the last 35 years, I’ve made my wife something as only I can.

“Oh, my God!” she exclaims, prayerfully. “You make me a nervous wreck!”

This year will be no exception. It starts with my harmless, unintentional wheedling.

“Guess what,” I say, which captures her stony attention. “I’ve found my life-long sport.”

She prays again, “Oh, God. What is it?”

“Rowing! Since I’ve started mindfulness meditation, it’s changed my whole experience of boredom. I tried it – just on a machine – and I felt

like I could just go on for hours. And guess what else?”

This time her prayer is more of a groan, no doubt that Holy Spirit thing when we can’t find the words for our prayers.

“It splashes! The machine has this tub of water, and I could hear it splash!”

We had decided to down-size our expenses this year, in homage to a collapsed economy and my well-timed return to graduate school. We love our

Christmas at the King Caesar House

On Dec. 11 and 12, the public is invited to step back in time

and enjoy the festive Christmas décor at the King Caesar House, once home to Duxbury’s most prosperous shipbuilder and merchant. Each year teams of local decorators fill the rooms of this mansion with vignettes of holiday cheer.

The King Caesar House was built in 1809 for Ezra Weston II and his wife, Jerusha Bradford Weston. Weston was known as “King Caesar” for his worldwide preeminence in shipbuilding and shipping dur-ing the early 19th century. The house stands as a fine example of Federal period architecture, built with careful attention to detail and characteristic of skilled ships’ carpenters such as Ezra Weston employed. The front rooms, both upstairs and downstairs, remain practically unchanged from the original construction of 1809.

The house currently displays a variety of artifacts from the Federal period. Especially no-table are superb wallpapers in the two front parlors, which were imported from France for this house. These rare scenic papers, attributed to DuFour, were restored by a team of experts from the Boston Museum of Fine Arts.

The public is invited to tour the house on Saturday, Dec. 11 and Sunday, Dec. 12. Hours on both days are noon to 4 p.m. Tickets are $10 for adults, $5 for students/seniors and children under 6 are admitted free. Tickets are available at the door.

The ever popular “Story Hour with Santa” at the King Caesar House will be held on Sat-urday, Dec. 11 from 11 a.m. to 12 noon. There is no charge to attend this event. Santa will be there to tell children a little bit about how he got started on his career and read one or two of his favorite holiday stories.

For additional information, or to book a private tour, call 781-934-6106.

Children's portraits make great holiday gifts!


fitness club, but it seemed like an extravagance when we want every Christmas dime to go to grandchildren. We’re baking our Christmas this year, except for the six grandchildren and at least one on the way.

“Don’t worry about the money. I can work out at my school’s fitness center for free.”

It’s not free, of course, but I’ve already paid for it, student loan style, whether I use it or not. Here’s where the harmless, insidious wheedling kicks in. I’m picturing several hours a week of mindful aerobic exercise, strengthening back muscles, a rippling six-pack belly, and a future of rowing victories in the old man class. I’m sitting on a machine, but in my mind I’m slipping to victory in the Head of the Charles Regatta, my wife and family cheering me as I pass under the Harvard Bridge.

My wife, I think, is picturing Sugar Plums dancing in my head, mostly in the form of 20-something classmates working out in spandex, but she denies my Sugar Plum theory. No wait, I deny the Sugar Plum theory!

“I’d rather renew our membership down here,” she says. “You spend enough time up there as it is.”

Great. I’ve wheedled without intention, which is to say that I’ve automated my wheedling so smoothly that it runs on its own. I’m guessing that her head is also filled with sparkling lights – the kind that accompany EMTs – and she would rather have them flash, God forbid, closer to home. I felt invincible on the machine, but she may have a point. Deconditioned athletes like me have a way of working up to cardiac scenes. Besides, the machine up at school doesn’t make the water noises. All work and no spash.

For the rest of our Christmas gift giving, all the grown-ups had better get ready for cookies. But I still need to figure out what to give to my wife. Sustainability is all the rage this year, but I don’t want to fall into the old trap of giving her something to fit her into trap. Baking pans are out. Clever spices are only a maybe. The days of giving Mom a vacuum cleaner on Mothers’ Day are long past. Not sustainable.

Naturally, she claims to want nothing, but I’m too old to fall for that one. I’ll find a way to slip in a gift that will catch her eye. A few dollars here and there, a few microwave lunches at school instead of the cafeteria, and I can build a fund. A classic from a used book store? Maybe, but it better not look like I snagged it at the Dump. Of course, I can’t say here what it will be. She gets the Clipper. But it will sparkle in her eyes, and it will make a splash.

Have a sustainable Christmas

By laMont “Monty” Healy Special to tHe clipper

Peter Browne was a 1620 passenger on the Mayflower. He

married Martha Ford in 1626, and they had two daughters. He married a second time to a Mary in 1630 and they had two daughters, Rebecca, and an unnamed child who did not survive. Peter was granted 100 acres of land (20 acres for each living member of the fam-ily) near what is now Surplus Street and extending to the

bay. Upon his death in 1633, his land was di-vided into three parcels, one for each daughter.

His old-est daughter,

Mary, married Ephriam Tinke-ham and they sold their 33-a-cre inheritance to Henry Sam-son in 1647. Another daughter, Priscilla, married William Al-lin (Allen) and in 1649 they sold their “thirty” plus acres to John Browne, a weaver and her uncle. Daughter, Rebecca, married William Snow and in 1679 they sold their 33 acres to John Browne. The 30 year difference in the sales to John Browne may have been to ac-commodate the girl’s mother, Mary, Peter’s widow with her right of dower. More about dowers later. Peter had pro-vided her with money in his estate to help raise the minor children with help from his brother John.

Uncle John Browne should not be confused with “the John Browne” who probably ar-rived in 1632 aboard the Lyon and became a leader in the Colony and a very successful businessman. Our John had only one daughter, Remem-ber, (I’m not trying to get you to remember this; that was her name) who married Josiah Wormall. The John Browne who arrived on the Lyon was successful enough to leave to one grandson over 700 acres, probably in Rehoboth.

So by 1679, Henry Sam-son and his heirs owned 33 acres of the Peter Browne Grant and it became part of the Samson homestead, combin-ing it with the 100-acre Sam-son Grant directly to the north. John Browne owned the rest of the grant (67 acres), which shortly thereafter became the Josiah Wormall farm through his daughter, Remember. The Samson homestead stayed in the Samson family for several generations and we will cover that when we do the Samson Grant next.

The Wormall farm ended up being split up in several par-cels. Josiah deeded the north-erly half to his son Josiah, Jr. in 1717. That part of the farm was acquired by Joshua Stan-

ford, who later sold it to Ben-jamin Freeman in 1777. Some parts of Josiah, Sr.’s farm were deeded to Jonathan Delano (1701 and 1725), and from Jonathan to his son Ebenezer in 1763.

Benjamin Smith and his son Captain Benjamin Smith, Jr. later acquired the south-erly part of Peter Browne’s grant along with a large por-tion of William Palmer’s grant and Duxbury Common Land west of these “shore lots.” In a judgment against Benjamin Smith in 1784 Zebdiel Weston was deeded approximately 25 acres (that included prop-erty east and west of what is now So. Station Street) in the southwesterly part of Browne’s grant. This part of Zebdiel’s property ended up in his (1808) and his wife’s estate (1815) being divided amongst his four children, Elkanah, Silvanus, Olive (Baker) and Wealthea Samson Lee.

The Smiths, Benjamin and Benjamin, Jr. and their fami-lies are buried in the tomb at the end of Depot Street in what is now Boomer Square, in front of the town hall. Boomer Square is named for Charles Boomer, Duxbury’s only World War I casualty.

At the turn of the cen-tury (1800) as Washington Street was being built to pro-vide access for the booming shipbuilding industry, Cap-tain Ahira Wadsworth began acquiring land in the Peter Browne Grant and in other parts of town. Another mari-ner, Captain Martin Waterman was also purchasing land in the same general area. Cap-tain Ahira had a wharf with a store and other properties near Washington Street and the bay. Although successful as a mari-ner, Captain Ahira did not do well as a businessman. In 1826 several of his creditors (in-cluding such men as Benjamin Barker, Henry Holmes, Levi Sampson, Thomas Winsor, Ichabod Sampson, Wait Wads-worth, Sylvanus Sampson and Joshua Drew) obtained judg-ments against Captain Ahira, and the court subsequently had his property (including his house at the corner of Stetson Street, now 338 Washington St.) divided and awarded to his

creditors.Captain Martin Waterman,

probably seeing a golden op-portunity, purchased several pieces of Captain Ahira’s for-mer properties, including the house at 338 Washington St. Captain Waterman died in 1860 and his widow, Lydia (Soule) Waterman, remained in that house. When Captain Ahira Wadsworth died in the summer of 1867 (over 40 years after his financial disas-ter) his widow, Olive, realized (or was advised) that she was never offered her right of dow-er, nor did she receive one. A “dower” is the right of a wife to a portion (usually one-third) of her husband’s land or tene-ments for her lifetime after his death. Had Ahira and Olive sold their property there would have been no need for a dower, because they both would have benefited from the sale. Very often in the case of a sale, the wife would waive her right of dower. Since these properties were taken from Ahira and his wife was never offered a dow-er, she had one coming. So, in 1867 Olive got her dower and, as far as we know, moved into her half of the house at 338 Washington Street with the widow Waterman! In the U.S. Census of 1880 the two widows are next to each other as “heads of household;” 338 Washington St. was a two-family house with a widow in each side.

How they got along or if they got along we do not know. Olive may have “given up” first because there is no re-cord of her death in Duxbury. For an interesting view on how women were treated rela-tive to property ownership and dower rights in the 17th and 18th centuries, you might read “The Widow’s War” by Sally Gunning.

Early Settlers: Peter Browne

By laMont “Monty” Healy

This is the sixth installment of a series of articles about Duxbury’s early set-tlers, using land records and other his-torical documents.


series, as Haffey hit Guilfoile for 28 yards to the C-C 40, followed two plays later by a beautiful sideline catch by Webber down the right side-line that he took into the end zone for a 27-13 lead.

Maimaron showed he could be just as creative as his Patriot counterpart, as he faked the conversion and had Hannon throw a pass to a completely uncovered Seamus Connelly in the left corner of the end zone to make it 29-13 with 2:07 left in the third quar-ter.

A nice kick-off return by the Patriots put the ball at the Duxbury 38, as they contin-ued to plug away with Crann, moving the ball down to the six-yard line. Staring at a fourth down and time dwin-dling away, C-C went for it and George was taken down

by junior Max Randall on the Duxbury seven-yard line with nine minutes left in the game.

It was now up to the Dux-bury offense to run time off the clock, and they did it well, going 93 yards in 10 plays be-hind the running of sophomore Jon Hurvitz and Haffey, and the receptions of Webber (4 receptions/124 yards/2 TDs) and Hallisey. The drive culmi-nated in a Haffey to Webber screen pass in the left flat that went for a game-clinching 39-yard TD run behind the dev-astating blocks of senior Brett Harasimowicz and freshman Ron Kosharek.

When asked how he would describe this year’s team, Maimaron responded, “This is a team and the kids support each other, and the whole town and community supports us. It’s great to be back here.”

Dragons win third Super Bowl title

SPEED bURNER: Duxbury’s Don Webber celebrates his second touchdown of the game that iced the win over the Concord-Carlisle Patriots.

US Lacrosse will expand its popular Under-15 National Championships presented by Champion and Lax Fests for 2011. Registration for eight major events is now open.

The US Lacrosse U15 Na-tional Championships will be-gin with four regional cham-pionship tournaments in the weeks leading up to the July national championships. The Central, Northeast, Southeast and West Regionals, also pre-sented by champion, will give teams opportunities to earn berths and higher seeding for the national championships, along with registration dis-counts.

Each US Lacrosse U15 National Championship Re-gional will run alongside an expanded US Lacrosse Lax Fest that will now include three age divisions (U11, U13 and U15).

“Both the U15 National Championships and the Lax Fests rank among US Lacrosse members’ favorite events, so it made sense to increase the op-portunities for players, coach-es and families to participate in them,” said Beth Porreca, director of special events at US Lacrosse. “We’ve selected four great facilities to help give teams a first-class experi-

ence.”“For quite some time now,

Massachusetts has been a hot-bed for lacrosse,” said Scott Biron, US Lacrosse Eastern Massachusetts chapter sec-retary. “We believe that we have some of the best lacrosse on the East Coast and we’re ready to compete and welcome teams from across the country. We believe the regional quali-fiers are a great addition to the national championships’ struc-ture—it truly will call on the best-of-the-best.”

US Lacrosse member-ship is required for players and coaches to participate, and players who meet age re-quirements may participate in more than one Lax Fest and U15 Regional at the same site. To play in the U11 Lax Fest, for example, players may not turn 11 on or before Dec. 31. High school-level players and ninth-graders are permitted in the U15 National Champion-ship Regionals, but not in the Lax Fests.

The US Lacrosse Lax Fests, formerly called Youth

Festivals, are participation- and sportsmanship-focused events that do not crown champions or name all-tournament teams. The third annual US Lacrosse U15 National Championships conclude in July and crown the best boys’ and girls’ teams in the country after tournament-format competition.

Five teams have already earned bids to the 32-team US Lacrosse U15 National Championship events based on their performance at last year’s championship. On the boys’ side, two-time defend-ing champion FCA has earned a bid along with the three oth-er semifinalists: For the Love of the Game (N.Y.), NESLL Black (Mass.), Nor Cal Elite and Sportsmanship Award winner Jersey Ridgers.

On the girls’ side, defend-ing champ Yellow Jackets (N.Y.) has earned a bid to na-tionals along with semifinal-ists Cardinal Girls (Va.), Pa-cific Falcons (Calif.) and Stars Gold (Va.) and Sportsmanship Award winner Greater Hous-ton (Texas).
