It’s been a year since the Duxbury School Committee voted to change the school start times, moving the high school and middle school times back 45 minutes and starting school at Alden 45 minutes earlier.

It was a controversial vote at the time –– the committee voted 3-2 to implement the change –– and it earned the ire

of parents, specifically those with younger children, who felt the change was made with-out enough research and dis-cussion. Proponents, however, pointed to national research that showed teenagers needing more sleep in the morning.

Although school officials have cautioned throughout the process that the new start times need to be in place for two or three years before their effectiveness can be properly

The humid and hot days of the summer are finally upon us and many Duxburians are looking for a respite from the unrelenting heat. While most residents would immediately turn to the beach for relief from the heat, the Percy Walk-er Pool has recently undergone renovations that make it more accessible and enjoyable for patrons.

The renovations for the pool have been in the public’s

consciousness for some time. Recreation Director Gordon Cushing has noted that reno-vating the Percy Walker Pool was a four year process. The town, in conjunction with the architectural firm of Graham-Meus performed a study on the pool that determined what renovations were necessary. The renovations were voted on in three separate Town Meet-ings; the first meeting people voted on the feasibility of the project, the second meeting

A shipwreck upon a deserted island brings a group of sailors under the wrathful eye of a powerful wizard.

It’s a powerful story and it’s only intensified by the outdoor setting of the Myles Standish

theatrical company, founded by Duxbury res-idents, will bring Shakespeare’s “The Tem-pest” to town.

The leader of the Invis-ible Children team Nate Henn, who came to Duxbury this spring was the American that was killed July 11 in the ter-rorist bombing in Kampala, Uganda during a World Cup viewing party.

Henn and a young man from Uganda, Innocent, came to the Performing Arts Center in March to speak about the plight of orphans and child soldiers in that country.

“Nate worked with us at Invisible Children for a year and a half and leaves behind a legacy of honor, integrity, and service,” reads a post on the Invisible Children’s Web site. “From traveling the United States without pay advocat-ing for the freedom of ab-ducted child soldiers in Joseph Kony’s war, to raising thou-sands of dollars to put war-affected Ugandan students in school, Nate lived a life that demanded explanation. He

sacrificed his comfort to live in the humble service of God and of a better world, and his is a life to be emulated.”

Henn was given the Acholi name “Oteka,” which means “the strong one,” by the kids he worked with.

Henn stayed with several Duxbury families during his visit to town and made many friends, according to Duxbury High School teacher and Af-rican Service Project advisor Susan Sullivan.

“He was an amazing young man and I am so sad that this great humanitarian trying to make the world a better place is gone,” Sullivan said in an e-mail.

“Invisible Children is dedicated to rebuilding the country,” Henn told the audi-ence after showing his film in March. “We believe we can do that through education.”

You can read more about Invisible Children and Nate, or donate to their efforts, at in-visiblechildren.com.

Duxbury resident Earl Phalen is speaking on his phone, while driving across the country to visit a site for one of the non-profits he runs. Phalen is a man on the go – as the CEO of two nonprofit or-ganizations, he keeps himself extremely busy, working with children, providing them with educational enrichment op-portunities so they can be bet-ter prepared for the future.

However, Phalen did take time out of his schedule on June 27 to accept a Shine A Light/Local Hero award from Black Entertainment Tele-vision during the channel’s awards ceremony in Los An-geles, California.

Phalen brought some ex-cited family members with him to accept the awards. He says he doesn’t put too much stock into awards and “all that red carpet stuff,” but the Shine A Light award really meant something to him.

“I was so happy,” he said. “I don’t give that much cre-dence to awards and recogni-tion ... for some reason this one was really special. It’s recognizing the work of two phenomenal organizations.”

Phalen, 43, is the CEO of Reach Out and Read and Sum-mer Advantage USA. Reach Out and Read is a large orga-nization that works through pediatricians to help get kids prepared for school. The orga-nization works with kids aged kindergarten through eighth grade to make sure they keep reading through the summer time, and don’t fall behind their classmates in their read-ing level, Phalen said, adding that 35 percent of kids show up with reading skills below grade level.

“If we all do a piece … we can help children arrive at school ready to learn,” he said.

The program has been around 20 years and serves four million children all across the country. With thousands of centers, Phalen’s job in this organization is more manage-ment.

“It’s very much fundrais-ing, building the brand,” he said.

Summer Advantage is a more recent start-up and helps

about 3,100 children in Indi-ana. Because the program is in its infancy, Phalen’s leader-ship takes a different shape.

“It’s very much hands-on,” he said.

Despite the differences be-tween the two organizations, Phalen said he loves them both equally.

“The scholars will run up and give you a hug,” he said. “You know a conversation you have with a six-year-old can change their beliefs.”

Phalen’s philanthropic nature is rooted in his child-hood in Duxbury. Growing up, he spent time in Norwood and Duxbury, and in the foster care system before his Dux-bury parents adopted him.

“My parents and family have always instilled a love for children,” he said.

He said he was recently at a birthday party for his moth-er, where she was surrounded by eight children, as well as 31 nephews and nieces.

“That notion of big family, that you put children first. Do-ing for others, that was just the way we were raised,” Phalen said. He also said his Catho-lic faith instilled a desire to do good for others.

When he was in high school, he learned of a schol-arship to Yale that was spe-cifically for Duxbury students. The scholarship allowed him to come out of grad school owing less money.

“That allowed me to pur-sue my passion which is com-munity service,” he said. “If I had not lived in Duxbury, I

would have had a huge debt.”Because he wasn’t bur-

dened by large student loans, Phalen eschewed working for a large law firm and delved into the nonprofit world.

“I’ve always had a real de-sire to give back,” he said. “I found it in law school.”

Earl Phalen is the CEO of two non-profits that help children. He was recently honored with a “Shine A Light” award by BET.

The Duxbury Rural and Historical Society announces that the annual Clark’s Island Picnic, open to the public, will take place Sunday, July 25 from 11 to 2 p.m. at Cedarfield on the east side of the island. The sermon at Pulpit Rock will be given this year by the Father Sean Maher of Holy Family Church in Duxbury.

The Society’s annual pic-nic on Clark’s Island is an op-portunity for visitors to enjoy the historic surroundings of Cedarfield, the second oldest house on the island. The house was last owned by poet and scholar Sarah Wingate Tay-lor and donated to the Soci-ety nearly 40 years ago by her heirs.

Clark’s Island in Plymouth Bay was the spot where the first exploring party from the May-

flower washed ashore in 1620. The group, including William Bradford, Myles Standish, and William Brewster, had been sent out to determine a sat-isfactory spot for settlement while the Mayflower was an-chored off the tip of Cape Cod. A storm forced them to take shelter on Clark’s Island. On the morning of the next day they walked to the top of the island where an enormous gla-cial boulder is located.

As it was Sunday, they celebrated their first Sabbath ashore in the New World. It was also on this spot that they elected to establish their plan-tation at Plymouth Bay. For these reasons, the outcropping on Clark’s Island is known both as Pulpit Rock and Elec-tion Rock. To commemorate this event, a sermon reflecting

on the history of the location and its meaning to current gen-erations has traditionally been given during the Society’s pic-nic.

All are invited to pack a lunch, head to the Island, and join us for an afternoon of his-tory and fun. For more infor-mation about the event, con-tact the Duxbury Rural and Historical Society at 781-934-6106 or visit their Web site at duxburyhistory.org.

Crabs have been popping up all over Duxbury, a phe-nomenon which has piqued the interest of several Dux-burians. These crabs, which tend to dwell in grassy lawns, are the symbol of the local organization “Children With-out Borders.” Children With-out Borders is a non-profit organization that provides health-care to children in de-veloping countries. Duxbury resident George Whitelaw is the co-founder and president of the organization, which has provided aid to children in Costa Rica. The organiza-tion is looking to expand it’s operations in Costa Rica, but will require more revenue be-fore that is feasible. More than ninety percent of all donations go directly to children in un-derdeveloped nations.

Children Without Borders will be having a fundraiser

this Saturday, July 24 from 6:30-10 p.m. at 298 Powder Point Ave. The event is called “Barefoot without Borders;” the title of the event refers to both the organization and the locale of the event (a backyard and beach). Tickets cost $65 per person. In addition to great company, there will be a full open bar and a silent auction. The proceeds generated from the auction will go to aiding children. Island Creek Oysters will be shucked and served on site. Mayflower Brewery will provide beer samples. For the wine enthusiast, Barefoot Wine and Bubbly will provide the wine for the evening. Lo-cal band Despite Dwight will provide live music for the event.

Currently, CWB has two volunteers in Costa Rica and roughly 30 in Duxbury. This model allows CWB to provide a larger percentage of their

budget directly to children without having to pay for in-creasingly exorbitant airline fees.

“Everyone who has or will donate is extremely generous and I’d like to thank them for their support,” said Whitelaw. Tickets can be purchased at Foodie’s or on cwbfoundation.org. Be sure to purchase your tickets early: last year’s event sold out!

The Friends of the Duxbury Free Library book sale room has a new look, thanks to Duxbury Boy Scout Troop 62! The troop, including George Williams, Connor Allen, Coleman Brady, Nicolas Williams, Peter Rusinak, Dmitri Rusinack, John Anthony Taglieri, Peter Gandt, Martin Gandt and Michael Mutkowski designed, built and installed these custom bookshelves. Books, CD’s and DVD’s are all priced under a dollar, magazines are free. All money raised is used to support library programs.

Bending with the windBy Fahy Bygate, Clipper Columnist

I did a search on the internet today to find out just exactly when song birds stop nesting. In the first three Google pages I found only questions from people who

want to find out how to stop birds from nesting, either on their house or their property. Really? Most people want to drive birds away from their yards? There were suggestions for “glue-like gels, fake eggs, bird repellents, sprays and noise makers.” You can also find specific instructions for frightening birds near your house with aluminum pie pans, aluminum foil, etc.

Look, I have been driven mad by woodpeckers drumming on my house, too. I have held pillows over my head in May when the Baltimore Orioles are singing at 4:30 a.m., I have even sworn at my favorite bird, the crow when he has chosen the top of my garage to call all his friends at dawn. But every day that there are birds in my yard I feel that today the world has not climbed into a “hand basket” and gone to the obvious place.

Try to think of this situation in reverse. Do the birds mind all the horrible noise that we make? Compare the messes we create all over the world to the whitewash on your windshield. Not an entire army of Canada Geese could approach the level of pollution that we manage to generate everywhere we go.

Most birds are the most noisy when they are mating. (Even-steven there, I suppose). But, unlike us, they will quiet down for the rest of the year. Their nests are occupied for only about two months tops. When we move into a neighborhood who knows when we will move on. When a Carolina Wren builds a nest in your decorative spring wreath, having to crawl in and out of the house through the basement window is awkward I know. But soon they will be gone and you can put up the Christmas decorations six months early. The wrens have to put up with that for most of the year.

I once read an article in a newspaper about some elderly people who were afraid to come out of their apartment building because a Great Horned Owl lived in a tree nearby. Someone had told them that the owl would “kill them.” These people were not suffering from loss of common sense. They were, like so many of us, totally out of touch with the natural world. It’s not a war. We can live with bird nests under the eaves, coyotes in the neighborhood, song birds singing their hearts out in May, even bats in our belfries. In fact we can live happily with nature once we give up trying to control the natural world. Katrina and Haiti and the volcanoes of the world and our own Nor’easters should have taught us that.

And for those of us whose hearts are hardened against noisy, messy nature, remember, The Migratory Bird Treaty and Endangered Species acts prohibit the trapping, possession, or killing of most birds, their eggs and nests, without a permit. Once a protected bird builds its nest on your property, federal law prohibits anyone from disturbing the bird or its nest, eggs or young.

A tree bends with the wind. It has to or it will go down. Can’t we find a way to construct a life that includes Downy Woodpeckers hammering out a love song on our aluminum siding, Hoot Owls at 3 a.m., foxes, voles and even dandelions in the lawn?

Interfaith Council School Supply and Backpack Drive

The TLC Backpack Committee of the Duxbury Interfaith Council is making plans for the preparation and distribution of backpacks and school supplies to our less fortunate neighbors in Duxbury. The goal is to provide new backpacks and new school supplies to the students of families facing financial hardships in grades K-12. Donations will help our future generation be equipped to learn and enjoy school. The cost of a backpack with school supplies varies by grade but on average is $100. The council is hoping to raise $6,000 in order to meet the needs. One hundred percent of all donations go back into the community.

The Duxbury Interfaith Council is accepting new school supplies and new backpacks. Residents may drop off donations at the Duxbury Senior Center, 10 Mayflower Street from now to Aug. 31. Drop off times are Monday, Wednesday, Thursday from 8 a.m.-4 p.m.; Tuesdays from 8 a.m.-8 p.m. and Fridays from 8 a.m.-12 noon.

Snug Harbor Chorus sings for nursing home residents

Special to the clipper

With the belief that “it is in giving that we

receive,” members of the Snug Harbor Community Chorus “gave” a choral performance to the residents of the Life Care Center in Scituate and the Bay Path Rehabilitation Center in Duxbury on Satur-day, June 19. Members of the chorus, under the direction of Roy Kelley, accompanied by Kim Glattstein, sang a variety of songs to and with the residents of both facilities. It was hard to tell who had a better time, the members of the Chorus, or the residents.

After the recent Spring Concert, chorus members Paula Vercollone of Pembroke and Debbie Perlman of Hingham suggested to Director Kelley and Andy Kilgour, President of the chorus, that all of the hard work of the chorus be put to good use by singing at some of the local nursing home facilities. Kelly and Kilgour loved the idea, acknowledged that it reflected the mission of the chorus, and proceeded to make the necessary arrangements.

The chorus sang a variety of songs, including show tunes such as The Rhythm Life, The Joint is Jumpin, There Once was a Man, Lullaby of Broadway, and Forty Second Street, as well as other favorites including a collection of Stephen Foster songs, Climb Every Mountain, and an American Salute. Chorus members joined the residents in a sing-along of old time favorites such as When You’re Smiling, Bye Bye Blackbird, Side by Side, and Let Me Call You Sweetheart. Director Kelley entertained the residents with stories about the songs and his own experiences as a teacher and performer for many years. Kelley was so impressed by how much the residents enjoyed the music and by how many participated in the sing along.

The Snug Harbor Community Chorus recently celebrated its tenth anniversary. The chorus is open to any adult who loves to sing. An audition is not required and the Chorus practices weekly in preparation for a Christmas and Spring Concert which are held at the Duxbury Performing Arts Center. For more information about the Snug Harbor Community Chorus, please visit us on the internet at www.snugharborcc.org.

GATRA announces incentive bus ridership progam

In an effort to increase ridership, reduce environmental impact, and promote local business, GATRA (Greater Attleboro Taunton Regional Transit Author-ity) has implemented a new bus ridership program entitled South Shore Passport. R i d e r s receive a Pass- port Guide that is carried with them each time they ride a GATRA bus. Drivers will record each ride on the Passport. After four rides are complete, drivers will collect the Passport, at which point all completed Passports will be entered into a drawing for riders to win gift certificates to local busi-nesses. The more Passport trips riders take, the more drawing chances they will receive. The Passport also includes link maps and lists of area attractions and businesses on the bus routes that offer discounts on purchases and services when the Passport is presented. Passports can be picked up at the Senior Center or the public town library in Duxbury, Marshfield, and Plymouth, as well as the GATRA buses along the PAL and Kingston/Dux-bury/Marshfield links.

The program is free and supported by the Carl A. Weyerhaeuser Family Chari-table Trusts, and by gifts from friends of the museum. art-complex.org.

Pizza in the summertimeBy Michelle conway, clipper coluMnist

[email protected]

Summertime cooking is all about getting out of the kitchen and outside to the grill. Typical grill fare like burgers, dogs, steaks and chicken begin to feel repeti-

tious by mid-July. When the thrill of the grill wears off, it’s time to think outside the box – the pizza box that is. Homemade pizza is typically a winter dish, but translates beautifully to summer grilling and entertaining. The heat of the grill yields a quickly cooked crispy crust and summer ingre-dients sing on a grilled pizza. Plump tomatoes, shreds of fresh garden ba-sil and slivers of artisanal mozzarella make a perfect al fresco treat. When it comes to toppings, don’t be shy; add chunks of fresh garlic, luscious olive, leftover grilled veggies, drizzles of chili oil, chopped shrimp, even local mussels can adorn your pie. If your palate is more adventurous than your fellow diners, make individual pizzas.

Before grilling your pizza, make sure the grates are clean. Bring the grill up to its’ highest temperature; a gas grill should be turned up to high, the coals in a charcoal grill should be white and ashy. Go to the grill with all of your ingredients prepped and your cold ingredients warmed through. Roll your pizza dough out, slide it onto a pizza peel dusted with corn meal. Brush the dough with olive oil and flip it, oil side down, onto the hot grill. Don’t walk away from the grill – it doesn’t take long for pizza dough to cook. When the bottom is firm and shows grill marks, (about 2-3 minutes), brush the uncooked side with olive oil, slide the peel under the crust and flip it. Working quickly, smooth the sauce over the cooked side of the crust and sprinkle your top-pings onto the pizza. Do not overdo the toppings – less is more on a grilled pizza! Close the lid and cook for another minute or so – you be the judge. To remove the pizza from the grill, use your trusty pizza peel and enjoy!

Basic pizza doughMakes 1 large pizza base

1 2/3 cup unbleached all purpose flour or bread flour1/2 teaspoon salt1 package active dry yeast (1/4 oz.)2 tablespoons olive oil1/2 cup tepid water

Put flour, salt and yeast in a large bowl and mix. Make a well in the center. Add the oil and water to the well and gradually work in the flour to make a soft dough (start with a spatula and then use your hands).

Add flour if the dough is too sticky – the goal is to have a pli-able and smooth dough. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 10 minutes. Sprinkle more flour on the dough and your hands as needed to prevent sticking. Rub some oil over the surface of the dough and return the dough to the bowl. Cover the bowl with a clean cloth and leave for about an hour – until the dough has doubled in size; this step can take up to two hours. Remove the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for two minutes to knock out the air. If you make your dough ahead of time, wrap it tightly and refrigerate. Be sure to bring your dough (home-made or store bought) to room tem-perature before rolling out.

people voted on the plans for the project, and the third meet-ing people voted whether or not to fi nance the renovations. The public also voted in a gen-eral election to support the pool renovations. The town of Duxbury allocated 2.2 million dollars for the project.

“The new renovations have allowed a greater number of patrons to use the pool,” said Hannah Woodbury, a lifeguard and PWP employee.

Before the renovations, the Percy Walker Pool was often criticized for not having the natural light like pools in Braintree and Middleborough. Windows have been installed on the side of the pool adjacent to Train Field. The windows let in natural light and are a welcome change from the dark and somewhat dank interior of the former pool.

While the windows are certainly an important part of the renovations, they are only a piece of the proverbial reno-vation pie. Two welcome addi-tions to the pool are the reno-vated locker rooms. While the women’s room remains in its current location, the men’s room has been relocated to what once was the boiler room. Carpeting has been replaced by tiling in both rooms. Both locker rooms also have new lockers, individual showers, as well as a few gang show-ers for the swim teams. In ad-dition to the renovated locker rooms, an exclusive changing room has been added for par-ents and their small children. This new room is intended for parents or caretakers who have a child of a different sex and wish to change them without facing the awkward dilemma of entering an opposite gender locker room. The new locker rooms and private omni-gen-der room are a welcome addi-tion to the pool.

A new HVAC system has been installed that will help keep the humidity and tem-perature of the pool at a con-stant level. This HVAC system is an important addition to the pool, which had previously contained an aging HVAC system.

In lane six (the lane clos-est to Train Field), a perma-nent staircase has been added for patrons who had diffi culty climbing the ladder that previ-ously occupied this location. This commitment to accesibil-ity will allow more and more people to become patrons of the pool.

A new multi-purpose room has been created and is located in the former men’s locker room area. The multi-purpose room can be used for birthday parties, a meeting place, or for many other purposes.

Two Duxbury High School seniors, Devin Cheney and Katelyn Coghlan, participated in the “Senior Project” pro-gram that the school offers. They chose to spruce up the Percy Walker Pool by adding a stained glass biography of Percy Walker and a few pho-tographs of Duxbury High School Swim Team mem-bers. Cheney was inspired to explore the history of the ac-tual Percy Walker, a fi gure that many residents do not know as much about as other important people in our town’s history,

such as Myles Standish or “King Caesar.”

“Plaques don’t grab at-tention in the same manner that stained glass does. The ebb and fl ow of stained glass captures the essence of water, which is fi tting both for the Percy Walker Pool and Dux-bury,” said Cheney.

The new renovations and decorations provided by the two seniors have certainly made the town pool a cool place to be this summer.

When asked about the new look of the Percy Walker Pool, Cushing has this to say, “There’s a big difference. Dif-ferent updates have made the pool more enjoyable. I hope people stop by and check the new additions out.”

Lecture on Boston’s History, 1850-1900The Duxbury Rural and Historical Society will host the next

lecture of the 2010 King Caesar Lecture series on Thursday, July 22. The speaker will be best-selling author, Stephen Puleo. Mr. Puleo will discuss his new book, “A City So Grand: The Rise of an American Metropolis, Boston 1850-1900.”

“A City So Grand” chronicles, for the first time, a breath-taking period in Boston’s history. Puleo describes the abolitionist movement of the 1850s, the 35-year engineering and city-plan-ning feat of the Back Bay project, the arrival of the Irish that transformed Boston demographically, the Great Fire of 1872 and the subsequent rebuilding of downtown, Alexander Graham Bell’s invention of the telephone in Boston, and the many contributions Boston made to shaping transportation, including the Great Rail-road Jubilee of 1851 and the grand opening of America’s first subway. These stories and many more paint an extraordinary por-trait of a half-century of progress, leadership, and influence that redefined Boston as a world-class city.

Puleo is author of several books pertaining to Boston’s his-tory including “Dark Tide: The Great Boston Molasses Flood of 1919” and “The Boston Italians: A Story of Pride, Perseverance and Paesani.”

The lecture will take place at the King Caesar Barn, 120 King Caesar Rd. in Duxbury. Light refreshments are served at 10 a.m. and the lecture begins at 10:30 a.m. Tickets are $5 per person.

evaluated, there have been some surveys done to gauge reaction to the change. Some initial data shows that tardies at the high school are going down, and that high school students report feeling more awake during fi rst block –– and these were some of the major motivations for mak-ing the change. However, high school students overall seem mixed about the change and parents are still skeptical.

Throughout the year, dis-trict offi cials have studied the change’s effects at various levels. A survey of teachers at Alden, Duxbury Middle School and Duxbury High School was completed earlier this year, and a parental survey was taken as well, although the results of that are still be-ing compiled.

However, an initial report presented to the School Com-mittee at their last meeting in June contained the results of four of the questions on that survey.

The number of parents who supported the change went up over the past year, from 40 percent to 52.2 percent. The number of parents who op-posed the change dipped from 32.9 percent to 26 percent. A slight majority of parents also said the change negatively im-pacted their child after school.

The report also contained analysis of other data related to the start time. Attendance data was slightly skewed in the fall of 2009 due to a sharp increase in students staying home from school because of the swine fl u, making it hard to fi nd a pattern in the year as a whole.

However, students show-ing up late for school at the high school seemed to de-crease dramatically after the start time was implemented – specifi cally after the start time was adjusted an additional 15 minutes halfway through the year.

In January of 2009, there were 841 tardy notices given at DHS. In the same month in 2010, that number dipped to 686, with similar numbers for February. In March of 2009, 1050 students were tardy, that number was nearly halved in 2010, at 606. There were

951 tardies in April of 2009 and 540 the following year. March of 2009 saw 1157 stu-dents show up late to school, as opposed to 765 in March of 2010.

However, the decrease in tardies at the middle school for the same time period is less dramatic (there is actually an increase in tardies between 2009 and 2010 before January of this year.) And students re-porting late to Alden increased signifi cantly from 2009 to 2010, according to the year one report.

School offi cials pointed out that a large number of these tardies are coming from a small group of students that have been late fi ve or more times in any one month. How-ever, the numbers prompted harsh questions from School Committee members when the report was presented.

“7 a.m. is too early for [Alden students] to get on the bus,” said Maureen Conolly, pointing out that more Alden parents seem to be driving their kids to school. “I think we’ve transferred sleep depri-vation from one school to an-other.”

Other committee members took issue with the idea that the board’s policy was causing sleep problems in the younger children.

“We’re not their parents, we don’t control when they go to bed,” said Gary Magnuson.

School Committee Vice Chairman John Heinstadt said the board needed to do some-thing to alleviate the issues at Alden.

“I think we have enough data now ... that says it has had a negative effect on the kids at Alden. We have to address that

fact –– What are we going to do about Alden?”

Connolly pointed out that when a later high school start time was implemented in oth-er communities, the younger grades weren’t affected –– such as Hingham, where the district owns their own buses.

Other members said now that the district has a year’s worth of data in hand, they can look at solutions and discuss if further tweaks can be made to the schedule or the busing routes.

Mary Lou Buell pointed out that at a start time forum held last fall, most of the pa-rental complaints were about busing.

“It does seem silly that buses dictate whether or not our kids are successful,” she said.

“This is a starting point,” said School Committee Chair-woman Anne Ward. “Nobody got into this to put one school at a disadvantage over anoth-er.”

Opinion from parents is still split, even concerning the start time implementation committee set up to oversee the change.

“After one year, there is still no proof or data that sup-ports the reasons for this time change,” said Jennifer Thorn, a member of the Start Time Implementation Committee. “If we do not make a genuine effort to fi nd better solutions, I fear that the division in the community will continue to grow.”

Thorn said she hopes the district will look into other start time options in the fu-ture and is looking forward to working with the new admin-istration.

Mary Lynn Carson, also a start time committee member, said she was neutral about the change at fi rst but was con-vinced after reading a host of studies on teen sleep habits, as well as researching other district that have made similar

Student survey data

gave the survey out to their peers and received approx. 400 responses.


changes.“The science is over-

whelming,” she said. She also thinks the change has had some positive effects to this point.

“Is everyone happy with it? No. Are the preponderance of people happy with it? Yes.”

She pointed to a start time forum held last fall, where many parents of older students and even some Alden parents said they were happy with the change.

The school’s offi cial sur-vey of students was conducted at the same time as the parent survey, so that data is still be-ing analyzed by the district and hasn’t yet been released to the public. However, the students from the Dragon Flyer news-paper at Duxbury High School conducted a multiple choice survey of 400 of their peers, as well as interviewing high school students from different interest groups to collect anec-dotal data.

The yes or no questions show a student body split on such key questions as whether or not they feel more awake during fi rst period, and if they are in favor of the change now, a year after implementation. However, a small majority say they are not getting more sleep despite the later start time. [For full results of the Flyer survey see sidebar on page 18.]

The Flyer staff also inter-viewed more than 30 students across all demographics, in-cluding teens from all grades, those who play sports, those with and without after school activities, and those who work in the afternoons and eve-nings.

The anecdotal data seems to show a student body luke-warm to the change. Most say that they either didn’t have strong feelings about the change or were against it last year, but that they are adjust-ing. Athletes seemed the most concerned about the change’s impact on their schedule. At the School Committee meet-ing, Athletic Director Thom Holdgate said the only real scheduling issue that cropped up during the year was that the golf team had to be dismissed early a few times.

Some students have come around on the issue, appreciat-ing the extra time.

“I don’t mind the change,” said sophomore Emily Doyle. She said she was originally worried about the change’s ef-fect on sports. “I still get up at the same time I used to, now I just use the time in the morn-ing for homework.”

Many of the students said they did feel more alert during the day’s fi rst class.

“I like the fact that I’m not so tired in the morning,” said junior Sam Carney, who was originally worried that she

would simply stay up later at night but said that hasn’t hap-pened. “It’s not diffi cult to wake up.”

Some students, however, have had their minds changed in the other direction.

“I get home so late now,” said junior Joe Coyne, who said he was originally look-ing forward to the extra time to sleep in the morning. “I get home so late now,” said Coyne, who plays sports. “I miss the old start time.”

However the one unani-mous constant across all the interviews: students feel they had no say in the matter, and the decision to change the start time was purely up to the ad-ministration and School Com-mittee. Some students felt a petition against the start time that was brought to the School Committee last year was ig-nored.

“I think the administrators are going to do what the ad-ministrators are going to do,” said junior Tori Clough. “It’s not really up to us.”

The district also conducted a survey of teachers at Al-den, DMS and DHS. The data seemed to show that teachers at all the schools –– even at Alden –– felt they had seen a positive change in the students after the time shift.

However, some School Committee members pointed out that the opinion of teach-ers wasn’t really a factor in the original decision.

“I don’t think it was ever a part of the discussion, if [the change] would be a positive or a negative for the teachers,” said Heinstadt, who pointed out that many of the nega-tive comments on the teacher survey were more personal in nature, such as one teacher writing “I’m not a morning person.”

School offi cials have sent

the results of the parent and student survey – a baseline survey taken in 2009 be-fore the change as well as a more recent round of ques-tions –– to sleep researchers at Boston University to be analyzed. From the begin-ning, Superintendent Susan Skeiber and others have said the effectiveness of the start time change would take several years to evaluate, al-though data will be collected along the way. But with a new superintendent starting in the fall, and a small but vocal minority of parents still unhappy about the de-cision, it’s tough to predict what the future will hold.

“None of us have crystal balls,” said Buell.

Wait and see on start time

All along, school officials have said that it would take about three years to properly evaluate the effectiveness of the start time change. And

they’re right –– never mind the time it will take for parents and students to deal with the culture change, it will be years before we see the change’s impact on things like MCAS scores. But there are some factors we can look at to evaluate the move along the way.

It is heartening to see that the number of students showing up late to high school has drastically decreased. That is what the community was sold on as a big reason for the change. And anecdotally, at least, it seems that a good chunk of high school students feel more alert during first period –– that was selling point number two.

The true elephant in the room, however, is the effect of the change on Alden students. The science says younger students are less affected by an early start time, but science doesn’t take into account after school babysitting schedules, and traffic patterns. Despite the new time’s early successes with the older school population, Alden still remains a thorny issue for parents.

Pro-time change members of the School Committee seem overly defensive about the decision, and that might be making it harder to get something done for Alden. So let’s get this out in the open: reversing the start time decision, essentially saddling students with three different starting times in three years, would be a horrible move and would do great harm to the children of Duxbury. Like the decision or not, it was made and looking at changing it too soon would backfire –– kids wouldn’t know what day it was, never mind what time they need to wake up for school.

But that shouldn’t prevent the School Committee from taking swift, conclusive action to alleviate the problems at Alden. We’re not sure what form that will take –– changing the traffic patterns at the school complex, tweaking times or bus schedules –– but something needs to be done for the start of the next school year. The upset Alden parents shouldn’t be ignored just because they are a minority.

Change is hard. But the move to make the high school and middle school start times later is backed up by solid science, and eventually people will adjust. However, there are too many Alden parents who feel they’ve been –– excuse the pun –– thrown under the bus. Alleviating their concerns should be a major priority for incoming Superintendent Benedict Tantillo and his team. And hopefully, at the end of the day, the start time change will do what it was always intended to accomplish –– move the Duxbury Public Schools forward and give the kids the best possible chance for success.

–– J. Graeber

Recently, the cafete-ria workers for the Duxbury school

system were dealt a jarring blow to their future well-being by the Duxbury School Com-mittee, followed by a lack of support and accountability by the Selectmen. They were summarily dismissed in order to save money and yet, teach-ers and administrators were handed significant raises. How did this happen and why did the people of Duxbury not support the cafeteria workers?

It took place because most of us are ambivalent when it comes to participating in the

everyday activities of town government. We are too busy or we just do not have the inter-est to look behind the scenes of what is taking place in our town. Shame on us for letting this travesty of justice take place. Where were we when these vulnerable people were treated so shabbily by our elected offi-cials? How could we have per-mitted men and women, who are no doubt highly principled, wreak such havoc on so many of the less fortunate? “What you do to the least of my breth-ren, you do unto me.”

Perhaps it is time to revisit the recall proposition for it is

certain, that those who voted for this heinous action, should not be in positions of responsi-bility when dealing with poli-cies that have such far reaching effects on the lives of workers who have been loyal workers for the town.

Incidentally, Rockland, a town that certainly is not economically as well to do as Duxbury, did what is right in a similar situation. Should Dux-bury do no less? These people should be treated as town em-ployees.

A great amount of in-formation has been disseminated about

40B and much of it is misin-formation. Contrary to what many say and believe, it was not established to allow wanton disregard of local zoning by de-velopers. It’s true intent was to require local planning and zon-ing boards to defend their local zoning before an independent State Panel of their peers.

Remember, all develop-ments, (40B and others) begin with an application to the lo-cal boards and government for the development. What follows is intended to be a good faith effort by all parties to resolve any issues in the best interest of the community. Usually, a good faith effort will succeed. How-ever, if there is an impasse, the developer has an option to sub-mit the resulting negotiations to the State Panel for a peer review and subsequent judge-ment. In many instances, the developer and local boards are requested by the panel to try again to work out significant issues.

In Duxbury, it would appear that our local planing and zoning boards give lip service to good faith negotiations by requiring many unneeded, unwarranted and costly changes to the appli-cation, apparently hoping the developer will withdraw. If this happens, our local boards avoid being accused of rejecting the application leaving their hands clean. If the developer chooses to request referral to the State Panel, much hand wringing and claims of bad faith results. All

of this fails to address the needs of the community and its resi-dents as well as reflecting badly on Duxbury’s reputation.

It would appear, the solution to the 40B issue begins locally and not in a request for a repeal of the law. The above charade has gone on far too long and there’s still time to correct the errors of the past.

Do we really understand 40B? ——————

I would like to take this opportunity to extend a very sin-cere thank you to the town of Duxbury, its residents; the 4th of July Celebration Committee, the Margery Parcher

Fund and all the volunteers who helped make this wonderful event possible. Duxbury is fortunate to have such a dedicated group of individuals who continue to ensure the parade is always safe and enjoyable for those in attendance.

Having the opportunity to participate in the Duxbury 4th of July parade each summer is something that I truly look forward to. The excitement and enthusiasm is always contagious from Hall’s Corner right up to DHS!

Again, thank you, and I look forward to marching in the years to come.

According to the Duxbury Clipper, July 16, 1953 a

Duxbury crew aboard a 30-foot sea skiff were instrumen-tal in saving two lives from a downed aircraft off Provinc-etown. The crew of “Jipse,” owned by Foster Trainer of Duxbury, was getting ready to pull up three tunas when one aboard, Reggie Rodman, spot-ted the aircraft as it started to go under. Other Duxbury resi-dents aboard were Harry Fitz-gibbons, Jr. and John Frazee. They joined another boat at the scene as it pulled two victims, the pilot and one guest, aboard. The crew of the “Jipse” provided warm clothing to the vic-tims and were instrumental in helping the Coast Guard locate them. Unfortunately, two other passengers went down with the aircraft. Pictured are Peg Trainer and the crew of the “Jipse” with their tuna.

Come rain or shineBy John Britten, Clipper Columnist

When did the evening TV weather reports become full-blown productions taking on a style suitable for a National Geographic

feature? And, when did the TV weather people start treating me like an idiot. Do you notice that they usually start their evening telecast with a commentary on the day’s weather? Like “well today was a beautiful day, sunny and warm, a perfect day to be at the beach!” I don’t need some talking-head to tell me what the weather was like today. I don’t live in a submarine. I saw the weather. I know what it was like. I watch the evening news because I want to learn something I don’t know. Like what’s going on in Afghanistan, what’s the latest development on the financial reform bill, or what dumb thing did Joe Biden say? Do the television producers think we need to know what the weather was? “Hey, honey what was the weather like today?” “Gee, sweetie, I forgot to look. Better turn on Channel 7!”

Next annoyance, “a perfect day to be at the beach?” Well, I didn’t go to the beach and 90 percent of the viewers of the evening news didn’t go to the beach. Most us work during the day, but some smug clown in front of a blue screen is telling us we should have gone to the beach? We don’t need to be told what we should have done today.

Here’s what I want to know from my TV weather person at the end of the day: what is the weather going to be for the next five days. Where I live. Period. I don’t care about rain in Boise, Idaho. I don’t care about the temperature in Dubuque, Iowa or the humidity level in Littleton, Arkansas. I care about the weather in Duxbury for the next five days. (It might be interesting to know what the weather will be for the next 10 days, but five days gets sketchy enough.) And I’m not alone. Realizing that I have a tendency to jump to conclusions, I actually did a random survey of 20 area residents asking if they cared about the weather in Casper, Wyoming. 17 responded that they would rather have their eyelids tattooed than listen to a Casper weather report, two actually had their eyelids tattooed, and one had no idea that Wyoming was a state.

Another thing I don’t need to know is why it’s going to be 95 degrees this week. I don’t care about a high pressure area over Coos Bay or anything to do with air masses or thermals or station pressures and I still don’t understand dew points. Finally, I don’t need computer-generated graphics showing me what rain looks like. I know what rain looks like. Nor do I need little graphics of suns pulsing yellow rays or cartoon clouds spitting yellow bolts. Unless you’re aiming for the kindergarten group, most viewers know what the words “sunny” and “stormy” mean.

So, here’s the deal Channel 7: just report the basics, cut your weather segment in half, and you’ll have a lot more time for Joe Biden gaffes. I guarantee a 20 percent increase in ratings.

By tony ChamBerlain, Clipper omBudsman

Both Oscar Wilde and Mark Twain were credited with the observation: “Never pick a fight with someone

who buys ink by the barrel.” I never knew for sure which writer said it.

Of course it expresses in a neat quip the vast imbalance between institutions that gath-er and publish information and the public that consumes it. Or so it was in the “old media,” which is to say when newspapers roamed the earth like the most powerful dinosaurs of the Jurassic.

To say things have changed in the news business in a decade – really a shifting of tec-tonic plates – is understatement. The biggest changes are that ink is a lower-grade fuel these days, and that anyone with a computer is also a publisher.

Don’t like this selectman, that school com-mittee member, think the Fincom chairman missed the boat, or that Manny should be booed at Fenway? Just write it. And send it. Anywhere from a few dozen to thousands of readers may see it. Talk about instant gratification!

It sounds as if the very democratic ideal of information distribution has finally been achieved. But with the “new media” and its anonymity, a couple of caricatures have also been born. One is the “Heavy User,” according to Neil Swidey’s piece “Unmasking the Anony-mous Online Loudmouth” in the Globe Maga-zine of June 20.

The Heavy User of online commentary might be considered an addict with the need for at least one daily discharge, usually in re-sponse to an online or printed article. This person, Swidey describes as rather ordinary in other phases of his life, but with a need to let the world know his opinion on things.

The other is far more shadowy, in that he shrinks from identification of any kind and lives only, it seems, to channel shrieking out-rage, usually at public figures that stir his pas-sion. This is the Troll. Swidey, who reached out to dozens of online conversationalists in writ-ing his story, says of the trolls:

“The loudest, most aggressive voices grew mum when asked to engage in an actual discus-sion.”

In other words, the profile of a classic bully whose every utterance rests upon the famous Howard Beale bellow of self-pity: “I’m mad as hell and I’m not going to take this anymore!” from the 1976 film Network.

There are few trolls appearing in the online comments in the Clipper. But editor and general manager Justin Graeber, like most news editors, faces a balancing act. Edit reader responses too severely, and spontaneity and liveliness disap-pear from the online discussions.

And yet, does every comment simply ap-pear anonymously on duxburyclipper.com without editing? What about misstated factual matters? What about considerations of libel, not to mention unfairness, when someone wants to zing a political rival?

And should a writer’s identification be known to the editor, even if not printed?

“I knew right away what I didn’t want our (online) comments to look like,” says Graeber, who took over the editor’s desk at the Clipper in 2008. “I’ve seen other papers where reader comments started out much more open and with almost no moderation, and once those dis-cussions grew ugly it was very difficult to rein things back in.”

Though Graeber has rarely stepped into dis-cussions himself, and only to post information to correct errors of fact, he does not believe it’s an editor’s role to intercede in matters of opin-ion, even when things turn ugly and the trolls are rolling.

“I try not to step into discussions at all. It tends to almost always escalate rather than de-escalate the rhetoric … If it’s opinion I leave it alone.”

Rather than heavily edit readers’ opinions, Graeber says the Clipper has done some fine tuning to the comment process aimed at find-ing the balance between lively discussion and uncontrolled rants.

Among the changes, he says, “Having com-ments appear only under stories helps keep things on target. Commenting is also closed after 30 days, and we’ve limited the length to cut out excessive ranting or cut-and-paste jobs. Making people register helps trim out some of the trolls because at least we have a real e-mail address on file, if not always a real name.”

Of course Graeber is just right to be diligent in searching for a workable balance here. Who doesn’t love following a strenuous and sponta-neous debate, even when some of the punches fly a little wild?

But the out-and-out anonymous sniper fire that plagues so much of our public discourse these days may be entertaining to the red meat fans, but long-term it only serves to cheapen and dumb down the journalism – be it new, old, printed or electronic – of any era.

Mr. Chamberlain can be reached at [email protected] If I were town manager ——

If I ever had the privilege of serving the town of Duxbury as its town manager, let me provide a snapshot into the very first hour of my very first day on the job. I would start by

reviewing the 26 pending litigation cases that have been draining the town’s budget for some time now. These cases seem to go on and on. The job of town manager is to settle cases and I would settle all these cases in sixty days with strong counsel and fair, considerate negotiation. Now, time for coffee, I would look around the office ... oh, a manual on sound and effective town manage-ment. Hmm. Let me brush off the cobwebs, cough, cough. You see, this has never been just about golf!

The group has local roots but mostly performs in Boston, doing more modern shows at the Boston Center for the Arts. However, once a year they re-turn home to Duxbury to put on a play outdoors under the shadow of the monument.

Director Michael Duncan Smith, who also helmed last summer’s “MacBeth,” said the al fresco setting complements the Bard’s work.

“The original Shakespeare theaters were open to the sky,” he said. “They lend themselves to that sort of thing, especially ‘The Tempest’ because it takes place on a desert island.”

In fact, at one of their re-cent rehearsals, the actors were routinely interrupted by the screeches of a hawk.

“It just sort of works,” said Smith, noting Prospero’s island would likely contain all sorts of native creatures.

There are some disadvan-tages to acting outdoors, how-ever. The threat of rain could cancel some or even all of the performances. There’s also the matter of creating a big enough sound to symbolize the play’s title storm –– Smith is using a large set of outdoor speakers to summon the wind and the rain.

Although the fi rst couple of plays Gurnet chose for the monument setting were Shake-spearean comedies, Smith said he likes the plays with more complex themes.

“I like the Shakespeare plays with a lot of meat on their bones,” he said. “[The Tempest] is one of Shake-speare’s problem plays. It’s not really a comedy, but it has comedic elements.”

The play was one of the last written by Shakespeare and is rumored to be some-what autobiographical.

“Prospero is Shakespeare himself,” Smith said. “Toward the end of his life he was writ-ing this as a testament to him-self.”

Because of the nature of the lead role, Smith had a spe-cifi c actor in mind, Michael Fisher, who played Banquo in last summer’s “MacBeth.”

“I needed an actor who could engage the audience,” he said. “He’s such a won-derful actor, he embodies the character so well.”

Smith said it’s the over-arching themes of Shake-speare’s work that makes his stories so relevant hundreds of years after the writer’s death.

“[The plays] have a specif-ic theme to them whether it’s love or betrayal or revenge,” he said. “Prospero is a duke that has been usurped, he’s trying to get some closure, he’s trying to regain some-thing. I think everybody can relate to that, whether you’re in Shakespeare’s time or mod-ern times.”

“The Tempest” opens

Aug. 6, and runs until Aug. 15 at The Myles Standish Monu-ment State Reservation, Cres-cent Street in Duxbury. Per-formances are at 5:30 p.m. on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sun-days. Admission is free, and no reservations are required. The audience is invited to bring a

beach chair, blanket and enjoy a picnic dinner. For directions visit www.mass.gov/dcr/parks/southeast/mssm.htm. In case of rain check updated sched-ule at gurnettheatre.com.

A PAIN IN THE SACROILIAC Located just above the hip, the sacroiliac joint connects the fused vertebrae known as the “sacrum” to the two large bones of the pelvis (the “ilia”). This joint is particularly vulnerable to in-jury and strain. Rather than be-ing held together by muscles, the sacroiliac’s integrity is maintained by strong ligaments. Thus, it has a relatively limited range of mo-tion. Despite these limitations, the sacroiliac joint’s position leads it to function as a shock absorber for the other tissues of the back. Problems arising from postural ab-normalities, muscle tension, ab-normal leg length, or damaging repetitive movements cause the sacroiliac joint to further lose mo-bility and experience pain. It is the chiropractor’s goal to relieve this

pain by addressing the underlying cause. Chiropractors have helped many people experiencing joint discomfort and pain or serious back problems often saving them from pain, disability, drugs, and surgery.

Nick Palmer knew when he was 14, and with certainty at 16, that he wanted to

become a conductor. He had seen the famous Colin Davis, principal guest conductor of the Boston Symphony at the time, at Tanglewood. While still in high school, he was accepted as a conducting student at New England Conservatory under Frank Battisti, now

Conductor Emeritus of the NEC Wind Ensemble, and was further mentored by Colin Davis himself.

Dasol Jeong started her violin lessons in Kunsan, a little village in

Korea, at 4 years old. Her fi rst teacher was Sajung Ko. At age 11 to 16, she studied in Toronto, Canada under Leo Wigdorchik. She still considers him one of her teachers, and also studies (from 16 to her present age, 18) with Oleh Krysa at the Eastman School of Music. Dasol was last year’s Solo Competition winner at the Duxbury Music Festival, and returned this year as a Festival student and to perform Mozart’s Violin Concerto

Henry Howland was the recipient of a grant of 80 acres or

more in the Plymouth Colony Second Division of 1627. He acquired the property some-time in the late 1630s, and was accorded the 80 acres because, we believe, as a family of four,

he, his wife, and two chil-dren were to receive 20 acres each. Henry even-tually had at least eight children, four sons and four

daughters. Henry was John How-

land’s brother. John was the man washed overboard on the Mayfl ower during a furious storm. In Governor Bradford’s words, “It pleased God that he caught hould of ye halliards which hunge over board and rane out at length; yet he was held up… and then with a boat hooke and other means got into the ship again.”

Brother Henry and some of his offspring were rebel-lious concerning the church. Although considered a noble man, he and his children often times ran afoul of the church for failing to pay their por-tion of assessed fees. In some instances the constable would confi scate some of their ani-mals to compensate. Even back then, you couldn’t get away with not paying your taxes.

Henry Howland died in 1671 and left the homestead farm to his eldest son, Joseph. Joseph endured several sei-zures by the constable, twice in 1679 for not contributing to the building of the meeting house, and again in 1681, 1683 and 1685 for other offenses. Joseph died in 1692, leaving the property to his only son, Jedediah, and his daughter Pa-tience.

The next owner of the property was Samuel Sprague of Marshfi eld, who bought the property from Jedediah Howland in 1708. One no-table “exception” in this deed was “so much of the upland of the house lot as contains the graves of Henry Howland and Joseph Howland ye grandfa-ther and father of ye grantor with others related to them.” It appears that wherever the bod-ies were buried, and I don’t think anybody does know, that small part of the property was excepted from the transfer.

It is important, and I hope interesting, to briefl y cover the Sprague families, and there were two of them that settled in Duxbury. The Samuel Sprague of Marshfi eld was the son of William Sprague of Hing-ham. William Sprague was the youngest of three brothers, Ralph, Richard and William, who arrived in Salem in 1629. They fi rst settled in Charles-town, and William moved on to Hingham. The signifi cant fact about this Sprague fam-ily is that it is not related to

Francis Sprague, pilgrim, who settled near what is now Hall’s Corner.

Francis Sprague was the keeper of the “ordinary” (tav-ern) as was his son, John, who married Ruth Bassett, a neigh-bor. Ruth later became Ruth (Bassett) Sprague Thomas Prince Sylvester (married four times – must have been a re-markable woman). They had at least six children (and she later had more). Her three Sprague sons were John, William and

Samuel, so both branches of the Sprague families had a Samuel and John who were contemporaries, which has led to some confusion in the Dux-bury records. (Yours truly not excepted.) By about 1710 John and William had relocated to Lebanon, Conn. and Samuel moved to Rochester, Mass.

These events led to there being only the Hingham/Marshfi eld branch of the Sprague surname left in Dux-

Oysters Zanzibar at DBMS: Bringing shellfish farming to East Africa

The Duxbury Bay Maritime School is pleased to host a presentation on a project to bring shellfi sh farming to African coastal villages. Led by the Woods Hole Oceanographic

Institution and sup-ported in part by the Island Creek Oysters Founda-tion, the project is bringing New England farming and hatchery techniques to the island of Zanzibar in Tanza-nia. The project team built a small shellfi sh hatchery; and they are now working with Zanzibari marine sci-ence technicians and villag-ers to maintain the hatchery and grow shellfi sh to market size in the local waters. The presentation will be given by Hauke Kite-Powell of Woods Hole and other project team members, with pictures by David Grossman at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, July 21. Admission is free. 781.934.6682

No. 5 at the Festival’s opening concert. Her favorite violinist, she confirmed, is her teacher, Oleh Krysa. Charming as this sounds, a glance at Mr. Krysa’s recording career makes it clear that her choice is not mere flattery. Krysa is also on the Festival faculty. The web of mutual talent, support, and challenge becomes clear. This is the world of great music.

Nick explained another aspect at the preconcert chat at the PAC. He, Dasol, and the orchestra would be performing after one rehearsal lasting slightly under three hours. How is this possible? The program was known by all in advance. One hopes, Nick explained, that Dasol and the other musicians would arrive prepared. They did. Then it was Nick’s job as conductor to weave group together to reflect his concept of the composer’s intent.

“There is a joke about conductors’ music,” Nick shared at the chat. “Everyone plays from their own sheet music. They guard it jealously, especially conductors, but one day one of the musicians snuck up to the Maestro’s podium, and took a peek. The Maestro’s music read, ‘Wave your arms until the music stops, then turn around and bow.”

Actually, the conductor’s music is typically far more, a book for each piece instead of the few pages each musician turns through. His instrument is the entire orchestra, horns, strings, woodwinds, and percussion, and the people who play them. Much of Nick’s performance occurred before the theater ever opened, at rehearsal. But his performance on stage, within a few seconds, showed me why Colin Davis and Frank Battisti took him under their wings. Nick conducts with clarity, crispness, and energy, coupled with fluid athleticism approaching dance. Without the slightest drudgery, he expresses musical precision so clearly that the most delicate pizzicato notes are plucked from the strings in absolute unison, while great and thundering swells emerge with all the drama they deserve. His players, including Dasol, share that precision and power with Nick, while their eagerness and devotion to their music is as obvious as his. Except for Dasol, all were highly experienced professionals, including several South Shore Conservatory faculty members.

Dasol’s performance was extraordinary, from her brilliant pyrotechnics to her deeply felt emotional connection to the music. Her lyric passages were compelling. Shy as she is – she’s only 18 – her face lit up only twice, at her curtain call, and once when I chatted with her briefly after the concert.

“Were you happy with the performance?” I asked.“Oh, yes! Very happy!” she beamed.It was then that I knew that my ears had not deceived me.

Nick, Dasol Jeong, and the Duxbury Music Festival Orchestra had taken us to the stars.

bury. Although the two branch-es of the family could have been separate for hundreds of years, they did get “together again” right here in Duxbury. Mercy Chandler, daughter of Nathaniel Chandler and Zeruiah Sprague, a descendent of Francis Sprague, married Peleg Sprague a descendent of William Sprague of Hingham in 1746. After Peleg died in 1754, she married his cousin, Phineas. Their first and only son was the Honorable Seth Sprague, a much respected man in the community.

To continue the chain of title, Samuel Sprague, Senior, settled on the farm in 1708; he was married to Sarah Chilling-worth and they had eight chil-dren. When Samuel Sr. died in 1710 he left the property, which now comprised 230 acres, to his two sons, Samuel Junior and John. The property was referred to as Spragues Neck.

The property started at what is known as Sprague’s wharf, fol-lowed north along the shore to the Blue Fish River, up the riv-er to John Alden’s, by land of Jacob Smith, then was bound-ed on the west by the sites of the village schoolhouse and the Methodist Church, then by the land of Daniel Glass and back to Sprague’s wharf. The two farms were divided by the road, then called the “east-west” road (now Harri-son Street).

The farm on the south side of the road was to be occu-pied by Samuel Sprague, Jr. and that on the north side was to be occupied by his brother, John. Samuel, Jr. is frequently mentioned as moderator of town meeting. He married Bethia Thomas and they had four children Phineas, another Samuel, Sarah and Bethia.

Phineas Sprague, who as we mentioned above, mar-ried his cousin Peleg’s widow, Mercy (Chandler) and now lived on the southerly portion of the property below Harrison Street, left the farm in 1775 to his only son, the Hon. Seth Sprague when Seth was 15.

Seth Sprague became the

most noted of the Sprague family. Seth served as a pri-vate in the Continental Army when he was 16. At the expira-tion of his term, he returned to Duxbury and engaged in shore fishing. This was a somewhat hazardous occupation due to the many English ships and privateers cruising the coast. Seth married Deborah Samp-son at age 19 and they spent

the next 65 years on the family farm raising their 15 children. They had four sons and 11 daughters (all of whom lived to adulthood and married).

Like the previous owners of this property (the How-lands) Seth, Sr. was often at odds with the church (First Parish Church). He resigned from that church and became a benefactor of the Methodist church and it appears that after some disillusionment he pro-vided property for St. John’s Episcopal Church. He was elected and served for 27 years in the State Legislature, House and Senate. He was twice chosen to be a member of the Electoral College, deciding on the choice of president and vice president.

Seth Sprague, Jr. built a house for himself, his wife, Welthea, and family on his father’s property in 1813 al-though a deed to this portion of the property was not pro-vided until 1831. This house is the mansion that sits on the southerly corner of the inter-section of Harrison Street and Washington Street and is now

a condominium. Washington Street was relatively new, hav-ing been built in 1800, largely through the efforts of Seth, Sr. and others, mostly to accom-modate the ship builders and associated businesses.

In 1872 the fine old man-sion became a hotel. Then in 1879 the hotel was passed to John T. Winsor and it became the Winsor Hotel. The hotel was bought by the Hon. Jo-seph O. Burdett (1889), then went to Mrs. F. V. Hunt (1894), who renamed it the Brunswick House. Maurice Chandler ac-quired the property in 1912. Some say he won it in a poker game (no paper trail on that!) He did have a small house next to the livery stable, which was used for gambling. Eddie Lor-ing attests to that in Margery L. MacMillan’s book “Stop-ping Places Along Duxbury Roads.” Mr. Chandler renamed

the hotel The Bayside Inn and remained in business until 1923. The house was converted into apartments in 1960.

As for most of the rest of the property it passed from the Spragues to Mr. John K. Parker (1879) who sold it to the Duxbury Yacht Club in 1915. To

this day, Seth Sprague Senior’s barn is the major portion of the DYC club house. And for you golfers, remember when you are playing holes number 15 and 16 you are on Henry How-land’s 1627 land grant.

As to the naming of the streets, Harrison Street was named for William H. Harri-son (hero of Tippecanoe dur-ing the French & Indian War) when he was campaigning for President. Gershom Bradford an ardent Whig supporter had a sign with a likeness of Wil-liam H. Harrison by the side of the road (Tremont Street). Be-cause it “spooked” some hors-es, the town made him take it down. In response, Bradford named the street Harrison Street. Washington Street was approved by town meeting in 1798, shortly after President Washington’s term in office ended.

Notable descendents of Henry Howland include Presi-dents Nixon and Ford, strange that they would be two presi-dents so inextricably connect-ed.

Duxbury resident Mike Cesarini will ride the 2010 Pan Mass Challenge on Aug. 7-8 from Sturbridge to Provincetown. Mike is riding the 190 miles in honor of his wife Maura. Maura was diag-nosed with a rare sarcoma called Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor, just one week after their youngest daughter was born in 2002. Despite several surgeries and many different chemotherapies, Maura’s disease has continued to progress. She is now participat-ing in a clinical trial at Dana Farber Cancer Institute. The money raised by Mike’s ride will be designated to Dr. Jonathan Fletcher’s research lab at Dana Farber to help find a cure for GIST.
