The Board of Selectmen-appointed Blairhaven Com-mittee met at the Senior Center Monday night to discuss their vision for the $3.15 million five-acre waterfront property Duxbury purchased at Town Meeting last month.

The meeting expanded on a discussion that began last Tuesday, when the committee visited Blairhaven, located on Howland’s Landing off Cres-cent Street, to examine the site’s existing structures: a dor-mitory, cottage/rental house,

chapel and garage. The group concluded that each building must be examined more thor-oughly and delved into wheth-er or not to hire a residential or commercial inspector.

Some members argued for eliminating all or most of the structures so that Blairhaven will become an open green space. But the group contin-ued to discuss possibilities for the individual buildings, should any of them wind up being part of the future com-munity recreation site.

A strange coincidence foreshadowed the connec-tions between Doug and Lyd-ia Hart and the Westwinds Bookshop.

On one of the couple’s visits to the bookshop in Hall’s Corner, they happened to look up at the wall where then-owner Chris Haraden, a photographer as well as bookstore owner and jour-nalist, had two framed shots. One photo depicted the pier

WINES, ALE, CORDIALS

By susanna shEEhan, ClippEr staff [email protected]

Concerned by the many calls he gets annually about the continued closure of the Myles Standish Monument State Reservation on Crescent Street, and fed up by the state’s lack of interest in this historic monument, Duxbury Town Manager Richard MacDonald said this week he plans to take action to correct the situation.

MacDonald said he will write a letter to the Department of Conservation and Recre-ation asking for them to either take better care of the park and keep it open for visitors or give the property to Duxbury to own or maintain.

“The state does not take care of it, the state does not open it,” said MacDonald at Monday’s Board of Select-men’s meeting. “It deserves better than it is getting from DCR. I’m not trying to create more work for the DPW but it is an asset.”

Standing two hundred feet

above sea level, the Myles Standish Monument is a Dux-bury landmark on Captain’s Hill that can be seen from miles away. Constructed in 1872 and finished in 1898, the monument is a 116-foot gran-ite tower crowned by a 14-foot statue of Captain Myles Standish, the Pilgrim military leader of Plymouth Colony.

Inside, visitors climb 125 steps to a small circular view-ing area from which they can see Duxbury Beach and Plym-outh Harbor, and, on a clear day, as far away as Provinc-etown and Blue Hills. The monument was refurbished in 1988.

On its Web page for the monument, the Department of Conservation and Recreation lists a phone number, but it is for the Pilgrim Memorial State Park. There is no listing of the hours of operation, however, the Web site states that group tours can be arranged during the summer months. It lists a different phone number for

tours.Selectmen Chairman

Shawn Dahlen said he thought the Duxbury Department of Public Works should install a sign at the reservation’s en-trance stating that the prop-erty belonged to the state not the town with a phone number visitors could call to find out when the park is open. Mac-Donald agreed.

Town may take over monumentOfficials fed up with frequent closures at Standish

Senator Robert L. Hed-lund (R-Weymouth), Repre-sentative Daniel K. Webster (R-Pembroke) and Represen-tative Thomas J. Calter (D-Kingston) announce that the Duxbury Housing Author-ity (DHA) has been awarded technical assistance and capi-tal bond funding for heating system replacement at the DHA‘s 705 scattered site de-velopment.

This award is to be used for design services in antici-pation of a future construc-tion award from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) Weatherization Assistance Program funding. Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) will receive $25 million of the $122 million in Weatherization Assistance Program funding for low-income persons. This funding is designated for use in state-assisted public housing. The DHA’s family housing devel-opment is one of the projects awarded funding because the heating system needs re-placement. Tenants living in

this development directly pay for their heating fuel bills, and this upgrade of the heat-ing system will result in cost effective energy savings that reduce heating costs.

Representative Webster said, “I am very pleased the Duxbury Housing Author-ity has received this award for design services for a new heating system. The Author-ity has been diligent in its ef-forts to maintain its existing housing developments.”

“I applaud the Depart-ment of Housing and Com-munity Development and the Duxbury Housing Author-ity for recognizing the need for upgrades to the current heating system which will provide relief in the form of more efficient heat, at a lower cost to the residents who di-rectly pay their heating bills,” said Senator Hedlund.

“The folks at Duxbury Housing work very hard and I know that this investment will improve the lives of ten-ants in the community.” Rep-resentative Tom Calter said.

Housing Authority to get new heating system



The Duxbury Education Foundation has given out nine grants in this year’s round of funding – totaling over $85,000.

The Education Founda-tion was started in 1989 after Proposition 2 1/2 passed. Each year, they have a round of grant funding that takes place between January and April (there used to be two rounds.)

“Anyone that has an in-novative idea, a new way to bring instruction to the class-room, can write up a grant,” said DEF member ML Nich-ols. “Any teacher, any staff member, any administrator.”

It’s a requirement of the grant process that the idea pitched has to be new and in-novative. The purpose of DEF grants aren’t to make up gaps in the operating budget – they aren’t for things like textbooks or other supplies.

“It’s sort of a spark plug,” said Nichols. “It helps to ignite new ideas, new approaches, to bring new tools to instruction to bring it to another level.”

Many of the foundation’s recent grants have focused on technology. Nichols said they always try to make sure part of the grant goes toward pro-fessional development for the teachers, not just new equip-ment.

“Technology is definitely becoming the paper and pencil of yesterday’s education, but it’s a good mix of technology and hands on experiential cur-riculum,” she said. “We try to also fund the training. It’s re-ally important that the teachers know how to use that new iPad or the software.”

The major grants this year are as follows:

• 21st century tool box.

$22,900.21st century skills has

been a major buzz word in education over the past several years, and has been a major focus of both the previous and current school administration. This grant is part of a three-year process to get teachers fa-miliar with new technology.

“This brings the tools to the teachers ... gets them in their hands,” Nichols said.

Of the grant money, $8,000 was for professional develop-ment.

• Interactive math soft-ware. $17,392.

This program, called Smart Response, is a program for the smartboards at the high school. A smart board is an interactive, computerized chalkboard, and every math room at DHS now has one.

“What that does is bring smartboards to the next lev-el,” said Nichols. “It gives the teacher immediate feedback on which kids are getting it and which kids need some re-teaching.”

Part of the program also gives students in the class a device they can use to interact directly with the board.

• Response to Interven-tion. $18,000.

Response to Intervention is a professional development program that looks at student data like test scores, reading levels and more to help teach-ers figure out which students need help and in what areas.

“It’s an approach that looks at where kids are,” said Nichols. “It can be any subject where they might need a little extra help. Basically it helps teachers better assess where their kids are.”

• iPads at the middle school. $13,400.

Tablet computers are one

of the hottest items in technol-ogy these days, and this grant will provide science and so-cial studies classes at Duxbury Middle School with two carts of iPads. There are 10 iPads on each cart, along with key-boards, headsets and other ma-terials.

“There’s so many great apps for science,” said Nich-ols. “They’re tools and devices that kids connect with. It al-lows the kids to really tap into the curriculum.”

• Two science-specific grants from Battelle Labo-ratories, totaling $9,700.

The first of these two grants will go towards a forensic sci-ence class at the high school.

“It’s basically bringing CSI to the high school,” said Nichols. “There’s not a lot of technology in that, it’s more about labs.”

The course will last half a year and will teach science students some of the basics of forensic science like finger-printing. This part of the grant is for $5,300.

The second part of the grant is $4,400 for a frictionless air track to be used by the high school physics class. The track is exactly what it sounds like, and will help students study things like Newton’s laws of motion and momentum.

“It brings physics to a lev-el kids can better understand,” said Nichols.

• Solar system model. $1,200.

The final grant is for the Alden Elementary School. The money will be used by Dr. Swanson’s third grade class to build a model of the solar sys-tem, which will be hung in the lobby of the Performing Arts Center as a permanent display.

Early Learning & Friendships


Originally hailing from the Lone Star state, Bryan Felty has lived in Duxbury for four years now with

his wife and two sons. His work brought them to the Boston area and this self-proclaimed his-tory buff felt it important to immediately get involved in the town where they’d settle. A graduate of the American Film Institute in LA, Felty now owns his own company and works as a freelance art director, set designer, and pro-duction designer. We recently chatted with Fel-ty about all things film and Duxbury related.

How did you get into film? I studied at the American Film Institute Conservatory in Los Angeles, where I received my MFA in film pro-duction design. After graduating, I started out srt directing music videos and commercials. I then began working on low budget features as a production designer. Eventually, my wife and I decided to start a family, so we moved out of Calif. and I migrated to the world of corporate design. I jumped back into film two years ago as a freelance production designer, art director and set designer. My company, Good Bones Productions, has become a vehicle to produce select local projects on a limited basis.

What’s a typical day of work for you? It varies, that’s one of the things I love about this business---there is no typical day. With the film I am currently working on, my day consists of meetings, phone calls with vendors, designing sets for both construction on our sound stage in Everett and designing elements to go into our exterior location sets throughout Boston.

One recent story that Duxbury people might find humorous: A couple of weeks ago the property master posed the question “does any-one know where to find horseshoe crab molts?” There is a scene in the film script where the char-acter, played by Mila Kunis, picks up a horse-shoe crab off of a local Boston beach. Being a Duxbury resident and a huge fan of our beach, as well as a local Cub Scout leader, I piped up that I had several of them in my garage. I know it’s odd, but horseshoe crabs are a wonderful teaching tool and environmental touch point for our local Scouts. So, when the film is released next summer, the horseshoe crab Miss Kunis picks up is in fact a Duxbury Bay product.

What has been the most exciting project you’ve worked on? An uncredited role as as-sistant props on Oliver Stone’s “JFK.” It was my first introduction to the world of big budget studio filmmaking.

Explain the name of your company, “Good Bones Productions.” There are a cou-ple of reasons: The first is that it is an architec-tural term, “that house has good bones,” mean-ing that the structure is solid and strong. I liked the collaboration aspect of that statement.

The second is that it was a combination of my wife’s nickname “Bones” and a what her ti-tle would have been in the late sixteen hundreds

when Duxbury was formed --“Goode Wife”---kind of a fun mix and play on words.

Are you excited about the movie indus-try making more films in the Boston area? Yes, without a doubt. The Commonwealth of Massachusetts is now one of the few States offering a film tax credit. We had a scare last year: there was a cap on the tax credit proposed in the Governor’s budget. But luckily, through a strong grass roots effort by local actors, crew, vendors and the film unions, we secured the tax credit without a cap. Massachusetts is now ex-periencing a boom in production.

Do you feel you’re missing out on oppor-tunity not being in LA? That’s a good ques-tion. Yes and no. My wife and I have discussed moving back to LA, but we love it here. Why move? In reality, if I lived in LA I would have access to more resources and opportunities, but the quality of life is the tipping point. I am in a unique situation, in that I have cultivated great relationships and Mass. is becoming quite the film hub. There are career sacrifices in life that are completely worth the values and the sense of community we get from this town.

What projects have you worked on in Duxbury? I sat on the committee for the War Memorial reconstruction. There, I created the short animated film that illustrated the pro-posed War Memorial and was then presented at Town Meeting. The largest local project was the animated video I produced for the 200th an-niversary of The King Caesar House. Because of the King Caesar project, I was honored with the President’s award for volunteerism from the Duxbury Rural and Historical Society---an honor I treasure.

Any local people or spots in town that inspire you? My dear friend Joe Shea (who recently passed away) is one of my inspirations for community selflessness and leadership. Also, the Cub Scout leaders (both Packs 1776 and 62) and Boy Scout Troop 62 leaders for their volunteerism and dedication to the youth of Duxbury.

The most inspiring spot in Duxbury for me has to be the Standish Cemetery. Not only is it the oldest, continually maintained cemetery in the nation, but it’s also the original spot of Duxbury’s first Town Meeting House. I find the staggering amount of history in Duxbury absolutely amazing.

What or who did you want to be when you grew up? Charlton Heston ... and to be happy.

Mary Williams Herrick, 88 of Yarmouth Port, died Friday, April 1 in Kingston. She was born July 7, 1922 in New Haven Conn., the daughter of the late Warren and Mary Bannister Williams.

Mrs. Herrick was married to the late Harold E. Herrick, Jr. on Sept. 23, 1944. They lived in Cedarhurst, NY for 30 years before moving to Cape Vincent NY

Mrs. Herrick served in the U.S. Navy dur-ing World War II. She served several terms on the Vestry of St. John’s Episcopal Church in Cape Vincent, was on the boards of the Minna Anthony Common Nature Center on Wellesley Island and the Jefferson County Historical Soci-ety in Watertown, NY She also served as a vol-unteer executive director of the Cape Vincent

Chamber of Commerce for seven years. For over 25 years, from its inception, she assisted her husband with the running of the Decoy and Wildlife Art Show each July in Clayton, NY In the fall of 1998, Mrs. Herrick moved to Heath-erwood, a retirement community in Yarmouth Port.

Mrs. Herrick was the sister of the late Nan-cy B. Williams Dennison and Navy Lieuten-ant Warren Williams, Jr. who was lost at sea in 1943. She leaves her daughter, Laurie Gilmour Shevalier and her husband Dix of Glen, NH and Nantucket; a son, Harold E. Herrick III and his wife, Linda Gifford Herrick, longtime residents of Nantucket, now of Duxbury; four grandchil-dren and two great-grandchildren. A memorial service will be held at a later date.

Mary Williams Herrick, 88

of Doug’s family home, and the other was a picture of a place that Lydia’s family used to summer.

That connection came full circle a few weeks ago when the Harts purchased the store from the Haradens, ensuring that the legacy of Duxbury’s iconic independent bookstore will continue.

“We’ve been coming to Westwinds since it was open,” Lydia Hart said.

Doug Hart won’t be in-volved in the day-to-day as-pects of Westwinds, focusing on his day job. Lydia has been involved with the Duxbury Thrift Shop, just across the way in the Foodie’s Plaza, for a number of years.

“On some level she’s been invested in retail in Duxbury for years,” said Doug.

Helping the Harts run the store will by Brooke Mc-Donough, who said she’d long been interested in owning a bookstore but felt daunted by the idea of running the entire show.

“I couldn’t do it by my-self,” McDonough said.

Interestingly enough, the Harts were thinking the same thing. Doug Hart went to Chris and his wife Marilyn after the initial conversations about purchasing Westwinds to say he was interested, but wasn’t sure they could do it without a partner. That partner turned out to be McDonough. The Harts are the owners, but she will help organize special events like author readings.

“She’s our Energizer bun-ny,” Lydia Hart said of Mc-Donough. Hart said she’s the store’s “introvert,” preferring to stay more behind the scenes and work on things like order-ing books.

“I love this store,” said

McDonough. “I don’t want to live in a town without an inde-pendent book store.”

She is excited about the opportunity to work at Westwinds.

“It’s like a kid in a can-dy store,” she said. “People come in all day and talk about books.”

Lydia Hart hopes to use her experience from the thrift shop to bring new customers into Westwinds.

“What I took away the most from that was getting people excited about com-ing in,” she said. “People just love coming in there now. It’s important to make people feel important.”

While the store’s new owners want to preserve much of what has been bringing cus-tomers to the store over the decades, they do want to make some changes. The biggest is an expansion and relocation, to another unit in the Duxbury Marketplace complex off De-pot Street. The space recently vacated by Octavia’s is be-ing redone, and Westwinds should be able to move into the space by May (an official grand opening is planned for early June to coincide with the

65th anniversary of the store’s founding.)

The new space has a raised area in the back that Mc-Donough is hoping to use for special events like author vis-its, classes and workshops.

Westwinds has a history of partnering with the Duxbury Free Library for speaking en-gagements, a tradition the new owners want to continue.

“I think that’s a really good partnership, and I’d like to ex-pand that,” said McDonough.

In fact, there is already an event scheduled for May 3 with Daphne Kalotay, author of “Russian Winter.”

Having more space (Doug Hart said it’s about double the old store) will allow Westwinds to expand some of their other offerings, like more young adult and children’s books.

The store will also seek out local authors and partnerships with local organizations.

“We’re trying to embrace all things local,” said Doug Hart.

Westwinds is open now, but the new ownership is even more excited about the future.

“We want to make it a place people look forward to coming to,” said Lydia Hart.

Free piano concertThe second in The Art Complex Museum’s fortieth an-

niversary year concert series will feature well-known Pia-nist Stephen Porter on Sunday, May 1, at 4 p.m. Porter’s solo recitals have been highlighted by both national and in-ternational performance.

He was chosen by Steinway and Sons to present five concerts as part of its “Legendary instruments of the Im-mortals” tour in Boston and Worcester. This year, Steinway selected him to give lecture-recitals on the Horowitz piano. In addition, he received a prestigious invitation by the Rock-efeller Foundation to perform at its study center in Bellagio, Lake Como, Italy.

The program is free and supported by the Carl A. Weyer-haeuser Family Charitable Trusts, and by gifts from friends of the museum.

bid to run North Hill. The rul-ing also ordered Johnson to vacate the premises to make way for the new management company, Pilgrim Golf, LLC.

On Friday afternoon, John-son’s staff had moved out the majority of its equipment and Pilgrim’s principal Emmett Sheehan was overseeing his team bringing in things like golf carts and mowers.

“We’re bringing in virtual-ly everything,” Sheehan said.

Golfers were continuing to use the course despite the man-agement dispute. Sheehan said Friday he estimated a couple hundred people had golfed in the past week.

One issue that remains up in the air is the membership fees. The ruling by Smith that allowed Duxbury to put the course’s management back out to bid also allowed John-son to continue collecting fees, even though it wasn’t clear he would be be running the course in 2011. Sheehan said he is asking members to sign up so that Pilgrim can build a database. The town and John-son are still working through the fee issue. Although the last day to purchase a North Hill membership had passes, Pilgrim Golf has extended the date until April 30.

The fight over North Hill has been long and costly. The town obtained permission from the state inspector gen-eral to rebid the contract last month. Pilgrim was the suc-cessful – and only – bidder.

However, on Monday April 4 Johnson and his attor-ney obtained a stay of Smith’s order from the appeals court (after Smith denied them,) put-ting the course’s fate back into limbo.

In its ruling, the Appeals Court says that the March 30 order is now in full effect and that “the process shall proceed immediately and in a coopera-

tive manner.”As a reason, the court said

that since Smith denied the initial request for a stay, its ju-risdiction is limited to errors in law or abuse of discretion.

“Neither defect appears in the Superior Court order of March 30,” the court wrote.

The appellate court also focused on on of the main arguments in Smith’s order, namely that Johnson did not participate in the re-bidding process “... and has not ex-plained how any claimed en-titlement to remain in manage-ment of the golf club survives that rebidding.”

Johnson Golf owner Doug Johnson has not responded to multiple attempts to contact

him for comment over the past several weeks. However, he told the Boston Globe that he will seek damages for the lost contract that he says he was unfairly cheated out of. He ac-cused the town of bid-rigging when he first sued in 2008, although the town has denied any wrongdoing.

Sheehan said that one of his first priorities will be to repaint and work on the club-house, giving it a fresh coat of paint. He estimates it will be open again in about five weeks.

“We’re so excited,” he said about the appeals court deci-sion. “We’re looking forward to moving ahead.”

This week, the Board of Selectmen signed a five-year contract with Plymouth Area Community Access Televi-sion, or PACTV, which allows the company to broadcast gov-ernment meetings and provide local access programming on local cable television channels in Duxbury.

Beginning April 19, PACTV will broadcast its lo-cal cable shows, which include programs from Kingston and Plymouth as well as Duxbury, on the town’s public access cable TV channels.

Also, once it installs the necessary equipment, includ-ing a server, at Town Hall, PACTV will begin broadcast-ing town government meet-ings on the government access channel. The contract states that PACTV will provide live cablecasts of up to four gov-ernment meetings a week and will re-broadcast these meet-ings at least three times over a two-week period.

PACTV will also broadcast a community bulletin board that lists the cablecast pro-grams and the proposed agen-das of scheduled meetings.

PACTV currently provides public access programming for Plymouth and Kingston and supports government pro-grams for both towns as well as the educational channel for Kingston. It produces original shows about cooking, garden-ing, sports, and religion among other topics.

Once PACTV goes live with its broadcasts, it will be Comcast cable TV subscrib-ers who will see the govern-ment meetings and the public access shows. Verizon FIOS customers will still be waiting, said interim Cable TV Advi-sory Committee chairman Bill Kearney.

Currently Verizon FIOS customers do not get the lo-cal programming channels be-cause Verizon has no way to carry programs originating at Town Hall or at the schools be-cause the broadcasting equip-ment belonged to Comcast.

Kearney said that town officials, including the cable committee, were under the assumption Verizon has been working to upgrade the town hall studio but it has not done anything, even though Ve-rizon’s contract stated that it had 180 days from its June 2010 start date with the town to made the upgrades.

“Verizon hung its hat on some ambiguity in its license,” said Kearney. “I’m not sure when the government channel will be on.”

FIOS customers will be able to see taped programs of government meetings on PACTV’s Web site and, some-day, this may include stream-ing video that “supports the on-demand concept,” accord-ing to the contract.

PACTV will be expanding the town’s ability to broadcast live from different locations around town. It will be work-ing to install equipment to al-low live broadcasts from the Ellison Room at the Senior Center’s and the Duxbury Fire Department, while Comcast will be installing equipment to support live broadcasts from the Performing Arts Center, Alden room 104 (for School Committee meetings) and at the Duxbury Free Library. Once the installations are complete Comcast and FIOS will share the broadcasts so customers of both companies will see all the content.

Live broadcasts from the Performing Arts Center mean that the annual Town Meeting could be viewed live on TV.

Kearney said that Town Moderator Friend Weiler has said he has no problem with broadcasting the annual Town Meeting live, although former moderator Allen Bornheimer objected, thinking that this would only bring out issue-specific voters at certain times of the meeting. But, as Kear-ney pointed out, with the Inter-net and cell phones, the ability to roust voters for certain is-sues is available anyway.

PACTV will also be as-sembling equipment to do re-mote cablecasts or recordings for government meetings not held at any of the locations that are set up for live broad-casts. Additionally, the com-pany will create an archive of all the meetings it records for the town to store, and it will have the ability to broadcast emergency messages from the town’s public safety depart-ments in the form of “a lower-

third crawl” on the community bulletin board channel.

The educational access channel will be the respon-sibility of the school depart-ment, which will take over the Comcast studio and equipment in rear of the high school.

The town will pay PACTV 3.3 percent of the gross reve-nues generated from Comcast and Verizon cable subscribers for the operating of the gov-ernment and public access channels, said Kearney. The town will receive $132,000 in advance payments from Com-cast and $90,000 from Verizon to buy new capital equipment.

A good readThere’s a saying about the types of businesses that

a small town needs to survive. One is a good local bookstore. In these days of mega-chains

and e-readers, the independent bookstore is an endangered species, however, for over 50 years Duxbury has been lucky enough to have Westwinds Bookshop.

In the write up on the store’s history on the Westwinds Web site, it is noted that founder Margaret Carter Metcalf and all subsequent owners have jokingly insisted that theirs is a bookshop and not a bookstore. “It is not a storage facility for books, but rather a place to shop for the perfect read,” the description reads. This is the perfect description of an independent bookseller. It’s more than a place to pick up the latest New York Times bestseller (although Westwinds has these too, of course.) It’s a place to meet local authors, to get a recommendation from the friendly staff and a place to share a love of the printed word.

We want to congratulate Westwinds’ new owners Doug and Lydia Hart, along with Brooke McDonough. The new team has hit the ground running. It’s nice to see such enthusiasm in a local bookseller while national chains face bankruptcy.

We also want to say a word of thanks to the shop’s previous owners, Chris and Marilyn Haraden. The Haradens did a wonderful job with the store during their tenure, especially through the partnership with the Duxbury Free Library that brought many fascinating authors to Duxbury. We were happy to have them as part of our community, and we wish them well in the future.

In this increasingly online and technologically-advanced world, it’s nice to occasionally turn off the gizmos and curl up with a book. Thanks to the Harts, and all the store’s previous owners, Duxbury residents will always have a local option when it comes to selecting a good book.

–– J. Graeber

We would like to extend our heart-felt thanks to the

community for the tremendous outpouring of support for the 30th Annual Duxbury Spring Antique Show sponsored by the Duxbury Boosters Club. Nearly 1,500 visitors toured the show to view quality antiques at 52 booths. After months of hard work, over $18,000 will be donated to the DHS Athletic Department. This annual town event is made possible through the efforts of over a hundred volunteers and the generosity of more than 30 local business-es and organizations.

Thank you to DHS Booster Club President Kevin Mullins, Vice President Lisa Gavin and Club Treasurer Pat Connolly for their unwavering support.

Thank you to Donna Owen, Karen Griffin and Carolyn Ha-rasimowicz for securing all the dealers who truly make the show what it is.Thanks to Carolyn Ricciardi and Angela Sinnott for your time in work-ing with these ladies to engage

the dealers in preparation for next year’s event. Thank you Maureen Leese, Cathy Dame, Ginny Ederle, Ann Weld and Sheila Spellman for pulling together both the donations and the fabulous lunch. Our appreciation goes out as well to Corrine Poore, Mary Ellen FitzGerald and Eileen Bertoni for coordinating the Bake Sale and presenting the bake goods in such an appealing manner.

Congratulations to the pub-licity team of Margaret Brook and Susie Caliendo, whose dili-gence gave this Show great vis-ibility and to Ashley Mohrman, Pat Cook and Nancy Brooks who teamed up to place all our signs. In addition, thanks to Ashley Mohrman, who located and secured our two profes-sional appraisers. We are also appreciative of Barbara Ko-sharek’s work on the website for the Duxbury Boosters Club that showcased the Antique Show.

We are grateful to Ann Mullins for organizing nearly 80 on-site volunteers, and to

Chris Coakley for managing all our financial needs. Many thanks to the boys track team and other student athletes who helped set up and dismantle the show. We appreciate as well the DHS janitorial staff, who worked long hours all week-end. Our gratitude goes out to Linda Ferrel of Chartwell for coordinating the kitchen crew. Thank you to the many parents who volunteered their time and baked goods, both crucial in making this Show a success.

A number of local busi-nesses once again showed their community spirit by generous-ly donating goods and services and we are deeply grateful for their continued support.

We are happy to announce the new co-chairpersons for next year, Ginny Ederle and Danielle Snelling. There are lots of opportunities for the 31st Antique Show, so give them a call if you are ready to volunteer!

Don’t let the Blairhaven vote controversy fade from public memory —————

The People of Dux-bury, I want to thank all of you for allow-

ing me to be the Golf Profes-sional at North Hill Country Club for the past eight years. It was truly a dream job as I never looked at it as a job but more as an opportunity to be with people who I liked and respected. I have had the op-portunity to teach many of your kids and a lot of adults on the

South Shore since 1996 and have always had such a great time with all of you as you are the best. I will always cherish the time I’ve spent at North Hill and it was my sincere pleasure to go to work each day. I start-ed a new chapter for Bill Allen Golf as the Director of Golf at Pembroke Country Club.

Bill AllenBill Allen Golf

While I’m sure many in town would like the

Blairhaven vote(s) to fade from memory, it is difficult for me to forget what I feel were acts that ran against the spirit of Town Meeting.

I worked on Capitol Hill for five years, and thus repeatedly heard the Speaker say after ev-ery vote “… and without objec-tion, the motion to reconsider is laid upon the table. “ No one ever objected to this suggestion that the debate was over. Of course, if the vote had already

been taken, and there was no late-breaking “new news,” why vote again? It’s different in Duxbury, though. Selectman Dahlen recently explained that the motion to reconsider is reg-ularly used to “lock in” a vote.

I’m still mystified as to what democratic principle this sup-ports, and I’m sure that those who were locked out of the second Blairhaven vote feel the same way. Mr. Dahlen and oth-ers have also justified the par-liamentary maneuver by noting that a majority of citizens voted in favor of the Blairhaven pur-

chase on the first vote. That is true, but irrele-

vant. Two-thirds votes are re-served in Washington and Dux-bury for important decisions – in this case, deciding whether to extend our debt burden.

Those who brought about the second vote cannot have it both ways – seeking to justify their actions as abiding by the letter of the law, but then im-plicitly dismissing the impor-tance of the 2/3 rule.

I should note that while I did vote no on the first vote, I

honestly considered both sides, and left the meeting believing that the best result was then very possible – that the whole town could support the pur-chase because it would be made after a plan for Blairhaven’s use and upkeep had been creat-ed. Unfortunately, that was not allowed to play out. Instead, we got an unabashed display of parliamentary trickery, plain and simple.

Hopefully, its long-term legacy will be a property that town residents can enjoy for

decades. Right now, however, its legacy is that the motion to reconsider is now called im-mediately after any vote. And I’m concerned that the real legacy will be a feeling among many residents that TM is not worth their time. I believe it is incumbent upon our leaders to make changes to TM proce-dures needed to repair the dam-age done. Hopefully, they will respond and allow us to repeat this year’s record turnouts.

Cub Scout annual Pinewood DerbyDuxbury Cub Scout Pack 1776 recently held its annual

Pinewood Derby at Duxbury High School. The Pack opened the weekend event with a traditional weigh-

in Friday night.The scouts checked in with their cars for inspection and the

correct 5 oz. weight requirement. After inspection, the cars were placed on the official race table and secured overnight. As the scouts exited the high school they had the opportunity to meet a real race car driver and sit in his car. Randy Cabral races in the Northeast Midget Association. He has been driving for Bertrand Motorsports since 2006.

Saturday morning, there was an electric atmosphere before the race as scouts and parents waited in eager anticipation of the event. The Commander of the Duxbury American Legion Post 223, Sarah Lansing, opened the race by leading the Pledge of Allegiance. Then the cars of 2011 Pack 1776 Pinewood Derby began to roll.

Some of the races came down to thousands of a second, for some pretty exciting racing. Scouts first competed within indi-vidual dens, then the fastest cars competed Pack wide, result-ing in hundreds of individual races. Fifth grader and second year Webelos Scout Quinn Caparo took the championship with a lighting fast car, averaging 209.1 miles per hour.

The Pinewood Derby is a racing event for Cub Scouts in the Boy Scouts of America. Cub Scouts, with the help of parents, build their own cars from wood, usually from kits containing a block of pine, plastic wheels and metal axles. The pinewood derby was selected as part of “America’s 100 Best” in 2006 as “a celebrated rite of spring” by Reader’s Digest.

Bay Farm students visit fish ladderBay Farm’s Middle School students visited a Dux-

bury fish ladder recently to take temperature read-ings of the water to help them determine when

fish (herring and smelt) will begin to migrate. The students discovered that there were no fish, yet, but they estimate that migration should begin in the next couple of weeks. This ecology class is part of Bay Farm’s Middle School curricu-lum and is taught by John Brawley and Hauke Kite-Powell, the Ecology Program instructors and marine ecologists.

Bay Farm’s Middle School students stand by the fish ladder in Duxbury, where they took temperature readings of the water.

24 FRANKLIN STREET, DUXBURY MAWWW.INDEPENDENCEHOMECARE.COM

Seeking direction at BlairhavenMost of the committee

members seemed to agree that, no matter what, the dormitory will have to go; why spend the money on an inspection if there is a stronger argument to tear it down? But as member and former selectman Betsy Sullivan pointed out, the in-spection would “document a reason for it to go.”

There was also debate over whether or not to tear down the garage and move it closer to the shoreline for storage; it could potentially house equip-ment, boats, or even ATVs during the winter. But mem-bers pondered whether or not the shed is large enough to ac-commodate boats.

“Not one of my boats,” said Harbormaster Don Beers.

Director of Public Works Peter Buttkus noted that the cottage appears to be “in pret-ty decent shape.” He went on to say that the Massachusetts New Church Union, which Duxbury purchased the prop-erty from, maintains that the cottage was renovated as re-cently as 2000.

The cottage will need to be ADA compliant for pub-lic use, so the committee dis-cussed keeping it as part of the overall site review, eventually voting to have the Blairhaven property inspected structure by structure. The group con-cluded that the inspection re-port will inform the property management plan, which cov-ers the site’s long-term capital and operational expenses.

“This was one of the big issues that we had from resi-dents [at Town Meeting],” said Pat Loring. “Where is this op-erating money going to come from?”

Most of the funds for the Blairhaven purchase were covered by the Community Preservation Act. The town paid the church $3 million for the property, and the additional $150,000 is supposed to cover the potential renovation or de-struction of all or some of the site’s structures.

Concerned members noted that this might not be enough to clear the area, raise at least two structures, update one of the existing ones and add park-ing spaces.

The issue of parking

sparked the longest debate of the evening.

“It’s the de facto control of [Blairhaven’s] entire environ-ment,” said Joe Jannetty.

The committee discussed how many parking spots should be made, whether it was too early to plan before a thorough site inspection and whether the spots will be grav-el or paved. Pavement would cost more money, but would obviously be handicap-acces-sible. The committee went on to discuss how close the handicapped spaces would be to the landing, or whether they would be located close to one of the buildings, depending on which building stays.

There was also talk of making the parking resident only, requiring a Duxbury sticker and posting this restric-tion on the spaces. The com-mittee also discussed potential hours of operation and putting a time limit on parking.

The discussion soon moved to the property’s chapel, and whether it could be used for small gatherings such as recit-als. Members noted that they would have to use deliberate language in the management plan in order to allow only cer-tain types of events, and not large gatherings such as wed-dings, memorial services or amplified concerts.

Loring cited a Section 4.4 general bylaw for the special event permitting process and application. Her idea was to have this document amended to include Blairhaven; that way, anyone who wants to hold an event will need to have their application approved by the Board of Selectmen. Not everyone was in favor of this idea.

“This place will become a wedding factory,” Jannetty pointed out. “Who wouldn’t want five acres of waterfront property for free? But it’s not the proper environment for it … We have to push [people] to places that have the proper facilities.”

After discussing lighting, vetoing volleyball or badmin-ton courts, and deciding that if dogs are permitted, they must be leashed, the committee moved on to the final topic of the night: docks and piers.

Most members thought adding a dock or pier would be

detrimental.“This was part of the pre-

sentation to win people over,” said Jannetty. “No docks or piers.”

“I don’t think the area lends itself to that,” said Beers. With the landing’s “harsh shore,” the Harbormaster said he “can’t imagine managing it.”

Beers did offer up the as-sistance of the Harbormasters department to help regulate Blairhaven’s parking restric-tions, hours of operation, and foot traffic on the salt marsh and the landing itself.

“We monitor the landings very carefully in terms of pub-lic safety,” said Beers. “The Harbormasters department can lend itself to that easily.”

The committee all con-curred that the stairs leading down to the landing are not safe for public access and will likely be removed.

“Natural is the name of the game,” said Sullivan. “The environment would provide enough of a barrier.”

The committee all con-curred that the area will not be a swimming beach; it is more suitable for shell fishing or, during the proper season, duck hunting.

Since so many potential re-strictions came up at the meet-ing, the group voted to form a subcommittee to draft rules and regulations, consisting of Jannetty and Beers.

Sullivan hoped that the town having “a more official presence” at Blairhaven will help discourage abuse of and littering on the property, espe-cially by fisherman who leave their equipment and discarded bait.

“We have a great oppor-tunity to clean this place up,” Sullivan said as the meet-ing concluded. “It looks like somebody dumped their toy box down there.”

While the committee hashed through some major planning details, it’s clear they still have a long way to go.

“These are our overall vi-sions,” said Sullivan. “It’s a work in progress; it’s not go-ing to happen overnight.”

The ground hog can go fly a kite. I’m cold. My lawn browns the view out the

front door. Daylight Saving Time dark-ens my rising as if it were still Febru-ary. Only my crocuses have brightened my world, and Easter itself has de-layed its arrival until the latest possible Sunday. There’s no song in my heart.

By mike Halloran, sports editor [email protected]

The girls’ tennis team started the season on a suc-cessful note last Wednesday when they took care of Carver in a non-league match, 4-1.

Senior co-captain Mi-chaela Dowd appeared to have little trouble in the opener, as she took care of Carver’s Car-oline McCarthy, 6-1/6-1, at No. 1 singles, while senior co-captain Casey Reinhart lost a tough first set to Carver’s Casey Armanetti, 5-7, at No. 2 singles, and then appeared worn out during the second set where she was handed a 6-0 defeat by Armanetti.

Freshman Kelly Dame was impressive at No. 3 singles as she knocked off Brooke Pierce, 6-0/6-1, in her rookie debut.

The first doubles combo of junior Lilly Weil and fresh-man Brook McCarthy defeat-ed Shannon Howard and Jes-sica Crowley, 6-1/6-4, while junior Caroline Phinney and sophomore Meghan O’Neil made it a doubles sweep beat-ing Rachel Wilkins and Lau-ren Flockton, 6-3/6-1.

It was a nice way for Coach Jutta Rossano to start her second season at the helm of the girls’ tennis program. Despite making the tourna-ment in her rookie season, it was a trying time for the Lady Dragons’ coach, who saw her squad drop their last five regu-lar season matches to end up at 9-9.

A first-round shutout win over Pembroke was encour-aging, but their third meeting

with Scituate proved just as disastrous as the regular sea-son when they lost 5-0 to the Sailors and were eliminated.

Rossano is confident that her second year will go much smoother.

“I think I have a better understanding this year of how to run the program,” she said. “I’m far more prepared with a year under my belt. Things have really been go-ing smoother so far and with Margaret Dowd helping me out, her knowledge in physi-cal therapy has helped me in getting the girls ready.”

Hingham and Scituate have been the thorn in the side of Duxbury girls’ tennis for many years, but Rossano be-lieves Dowd could change all that that this year.

“I absolutely believe in her and she knows she has the ability to beat those teams,” said her coach.

A strong serve with good placement makes her ability at coming to the net a constant threat.

Reinhart has made a big improvement after playing all winter and is a very steady player who doesn’t get riled. Her patience on the backline can be frustrating for oppo-nents and has made her a solid No. 2 player.

Rossano is really excited about four freshmen who came out of nowhere to add depth and competitiveness to this year’s team. One of those rookies is Kelly Dame, who not only has shown she has the ability to be a very competitive No. 3 singles player, but has impressed her coach with her terrific spirit and no-nonsense approach to her game.

Weil returns from last year’s squad and has shown

improvement from her sopho-more season when she played off and on at No. 3 singles. This year she seems to have solidified a spot at No. 1 dou-bles. McCarthy, another of the freshmen four, will team up with Weil and seems to be a good compliment to the laid-back junior.

“Brook is a very hungry and competitive player. She

has a strong serve and is very effective from the baseline. I think these two girls will blend well together,” said Rossano.

Phinney returns as a vet-eran and looks like she is very serious about showing her coach what she learned over the winter. “She has improved her serve this spring and it shows.”

beat the winter blues – Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) – when taken for 20 minutes or so every morning. In the early days of SAD research, scientists cobbled together their arrays of fluorescent lights in clunky great boxes. “Light Boxes” have given way to neat little lamps that fit on a desk or bed-side table. Dawn simulators (the state of the art) have added a period of gradual build-up to the 10,000 lux blast that does the trick. They even come with timers like a clock radio for those too sluggish to flip the switch that early in the morning. Count me in for the auto switch.

Once the stuff of heady research at places like McLean Hospital, bright-light therapy is now an over-the-counter offer-ing. You can find dawn simulators at Target, Walgreens, CVS, Walmart and others, but so far I’ve only seen them sold online.

Here’s the notion on how they work, narrative style. In our primal state, we were designed, evolved, whatever, to sleep about eight hours every 24 hours. Our brains have a gizmo – the suprachiasmatic nucleus to be precise – that senses the light of dawn each day and resets our rhythms of waking and sleeping to fit the job at hand – sluggish snuggling at night, and slugging lions, tigers and bears when the sun comes up. When we live close to the equator, like our ancestors did, no problem. But when we started wearing the skins of those lions and tigers and bears, we spread out. We spread north and south far enough to find winters where the sun barely peeks at us in the winter. We missed our morning dose of sunshine, some of us more than others.

The crowd that went even further north, or higher in the mountains, didn’t notice so much. Snow cover reflected the sun so well that the reduced bright time was balanced by the added jolt of reflected light. Ever notice how chipper skiers can be, or yodelers from the Alps?

No such luck for Duxbury (or Boston). We live on the worst edge for SAD. We have miserable dark winters, and often have little or no snow cover to give that extra boost. Further north we would find more winter snow. Further south, more sunshine even in the winter. Southern winter nights are not so painfully long as ours.

Dr. Norman Rosenthal first described SAD in 1984 after he noticed his own seasonal shift in energy. A native of mild South Africa, he had migrated to the Northeast US. When he applied his research skills as a scientist with the National Insti-tutes of Mental Health, light boxes and SAD were result.

How bright are the lights? Bright enough to annoy people who don’t have the condition. About as bright as a south-fac-ing window on a sunny day at noon. Not as bright as looking directly at the sun (don’t do that!) but bright enough to have others ask you to pull the shades or turn the light off.

Of course, no one would diagnose themselves with SAD based on the scribblings found in a newspaper column. Any-one would check with a professional. Meanwhile, I’ll be sit-ting in my morning window, looking forward to the sounds of spring from the Snug Harbor Community Chorus – may they shine like the sun.

Teaming up with Phinney is O’Neil, who is a quiet play-er according to her coach, but very competitive, hardly ever gets rattled and seems to have solid ground strokes.

Other players who will add depth and see playing time against some of the weaker teams on the schedule include: senior Julia Paquale Monk, ju-niors Nicole Hanrahan, Ame-lia Dudley, Colleen Leddie, Anna McGeady, and Danya Scandone, sophomores Ra-chel Jones, Emily Mutkowski, Lindsey Feeney and Chloe Steinbiser, along with fresh-men Ann Marie McCluskey and Jackie Hanrahan.

“I’ll have my seven varsity girls and a rotating traveling team. The Hanrahans, along with McCluskey will also be a permanent part of the traveling

team,” said Rossano. “Those three are strong players that can compete against any team in exhibition matches. Other first team travel members will include: Leddie, McGeady, and Jones, while the second travel team will consist of Dudley, Steinbiser, Monk, Scandone, and Feeney. The goal is to get all the girls out there to com-pete and contribute to the team as a whole.”

On Wednesday afternoon, the coach will get an hon-est assessment of how far her team has come when they host Scituate at 4 p.m.

Dragons’ DenSports Editor Mike Halloran • [email protected]


It was a very successful first year of coaching for Rod Laniewski when he took over the DHS softball program last year. With a consistent and steady Laura Walter on the mound, the Lady Dragons went 13-6 and made the tour-nament, only to be eliminated by South Shore League entry Norwell High School.

Laniewski is faced with a far more challenging task this year, as his Lady Dragons do not have the dominant kind of pitcher (Jamie and Casey Ducinski and Walter) that they have had for the last nine years.

“Both of our pitchers haven’t had any varsity experi-ence,” said Laniewski. Sopho-more pitcher Micaela Lannon looks like she’ll get the nod for the No. 1 slot, as the second-year player is working on pick-ing up some velocity on her fastball and working on her control.

“I think she just needs some confidence to get things going,” said her coach.

Senior captain Annie Gates will also get some mound time this year, as pitching behind Walter didn’t allow for much playing time in 2010.

While the pitching may take some time to develop, the Lady Dragons are confident that All-Star catcher Caroline McSherry should help speed up their development. Fresh-man Alexander Puata will also see some time behind the plate, but also in the field too, as La-niewski calls her “a table set-ter” with lead-off ability and speed.

Power-hitting sophomore Lindsey Cobb looks like she’ll get most of the action at first base, and is slated to hit in the No. 5 or No. 6 spot in the or-der. Look for freshman Caitlin Turok to back her up.

Sophomore Erin Gallagher returns and will be at second base, but it’s her offense that Laniewski likes with her abil-ity to hit behind runners and move them along. Katerina Eisenstadt could see some ac-tion at second as well.

Christina Curley returns at shortstop and provides every-thing a coach loves in a player. She has power, is solid in the field with good range and has a strong arm.

Junior captain Madi Dud-dy has been hitting well in the preseason, especially with line drives to the opposite field and seems to have the third base job wrapped up with freshman Brianna Connolly waiting in the wings. Connolly will also see some action in the outfield, as Laniewski tries to get her bat into every game.

The left field starter will be senior Michelle Kazanowski, who is a solid defensive player, while sophomore Alex Leav-erton takes over in center and supplies plenty of slap hitting ability to the lineup. Junior Kristin McHugh rounds out the starting outfield.

“We hope to make the tour-

nament again,” said Laniewski. “We’re pretty inexperienced out there and we have a tough schedule with Silver Lake and Whitman-Hanson having some good pitching and North Quin-cy looking like they could give people some trouble. We just need to score some runs until our pitching gets some experi-ence.”

Despite the team’s young roster it did well in its home opener with a convincing 15-4 win over Plymouth North.

The Lady Dragons got out of the gate fast, as they scored 10 runs in the first inning

against the Blue Eagles. Puatu led off with a single and Gal-lagher was hit by a pitch. Cur-ley then proceeded to unload a bomb over the left fielder leading to a triple and two runs batted in. Connolly knocked in Curley with a hit, followed by Duddy, who continued the hit parade. Consecutive singles by McHugh, Leaverton, Lannon, and the second hit of the inning by Puatu, Connolly and Duddy accounted for all 10 runs on 10 hits.

The hitting continued in the second inning, as the hosts scored three more runs on hits

by Leaverton, Puatu and Gal-lagher.

Lannon started on the mound for Duxbury and held Plymouth scoreless for four in-nings before Plymouth North ended its scoreless streak with three runs. Lannon pitched into the sixth before being relieved by Gates. The Lady Dragons added two runs in the bottom of the sixth inning to complete the scoring, as Gates shut PN down in the seventh.

Puatu and Leaverton each had four hits in the game, while Lannon notched her first career varsity win.

OPening DAY Win: Michaela lannon pitched into the sixth inning of the opener.


Jack Stoddard already has one State golf championship under his belt in 2010-11. Can he duplicate his fall ef-fort again this spring with the girls?

Based on first week play, the Lady Dragons are off and running after convincing vic-tories over Silver Lake (6-0) and Dennis-Yarmouth (5-1).

It didn’t take long for the girls to dispose of the Lakers on the Duxbury Yacht Club course, as there were few close matches with senior captain Briana Connolly win-ning her match over Meaghan Hurley, 4-up. Connolly man-aged a par and a pair of bogies in her victory. Playing partner Kara Falcone won her match, 5-up, over the Laker’s Lauren Grasso.

Cassidy Goldner at No. 3 managed a pair of pars in her 5-up win over Devin Parker, while playing with Francis Anne McDonald, who was a 2-up winner over Emily Han-sen.

Rounding out the Dux-bury sweep was Allie Martin, who managed another 5-up win over Silver Lake’s Rachel Morgan, while Lorin Ger-raughty was a 4-up winner over Briane Roche.

Alternate players Lexi Macaluso and Devin Tsinzo were 2-up and 5-up winners over Sam Pelinosky and Kim Whitney, respectively, show-ing just how deep Stoddard’s roster is.

Two days later the girls traveled to Dennis-Yarmouth to take on the Dolphins on their Bass River home course and came home with another victory.

Connolly won 2-up over Morgan McKenzie, while Goldner had an easier time with a 4-up win at No. 2.

McDonald was another 4-up winner over Kristina Winslow in the No. 3 slot and

registered a par, while Martin continued the streak of 4-up wins beating Julia Cunning-ham at No. 4.

Gerraughty made it five in a row for Duxbury with a one-up win at No. 5, and Lexi Ma-colusa dropped a one-down decision to Ashley Meehan for Duxbury’s only loss.

Tzinso was a 5-up win-ner over Carly Belanger as an alternate, and sophomore Emma Fiskio captured her first match of the season play-ing alongside Tzinso.

Stoddard has a very deep squad this year with many re-turning four-year veterans that have convinced him to name five captains for the coming season: Connolly, Falcone, Martin, Gerraughty, and Tz-inso.

Duxbury’s a town that just seems to attract athletic trans-fers, and this year Stoddard hit the jackpot with Goldner and McDonald.

Goldner is a transfer from Michigan and has already moved up to the No. 2 slot on the team, while McDon-ald is a very late arrival from

Georgia. Both players seem to be having little trouble with the chilly New England golf weather and could very well be challenging for the top spot as the season progresses.

“This could be the stron-gest group I’ve ever had,” said Stoddard. “We’re getting a lot of push from the younger players and it’s forcing every-one to play better. The weath-er has kind of set us back too, and we didn’t even have any pin placements until the end of last week. I think if this group could produce three scores in the 80s at the State tournament, we might have chance to take it.”

There was plenty of inter-est in the girls’ golf team this year, as other members in-clude: juniors Courtney Walsh and Savannah Clinton, along with sophomores Kayla Bark-er, Elizabeth Leroux, Kay-leigh Miller, Lauren Ruggles, and Hannah McLaughlin.

The girls will make their second trip to the Cape this week when they travel to Fal-mouth for Thursday’s match with the Clippers at 3:30 p.m.

If You Think There Is A Better Way To Do Real Estate,Give The Sobran Group A Call...

These Folks Did:I chose The Sobran Group to sell my multi-million dollar home in this tough market for 3 key reasons. The first was they demonstrated by their historical success rate in

accomplishing that goal and did it better than almost everyone else. The second was that this success rate was known in the South Shore area. This translated, for me, into a very wide data base of potential clients and brokers. Third, and most important to me, is their creativity as marketers to know how to present my home and exciting ways to do that. It worked. I had a written offer in-hand 8 days after the home was listed.” Ed Schwartz. Duxbury, Chesnut Hill.

T he Sobran Group impressed us with the unique level of energy they brought in the marketing and selling of our home. The tools they used, the approach they took, and their knowledge of how to sell, not only to the buyers but also to the agents, made for a very pleasant experience, a rarity in the real estate

market today. We beat market statistics for time on market and percentage of sale price as compared to original list price. I would strongly suggest anyone seriously interested in selling their home meet with them.” J.E. Marshfield

They did what they said they would do: Aggressively market and sell my home.” S.D. Scituate.

W ith recent and scheduled closings in Duxbury, Cohasset, Hingham and Scituate, I offer a unique selling solution to my clients: Actively engaging buyers throughout the premiere towns of the South Shore and letting them fully

realize all that Duxbury offers. Anyone looking in Duxbury will see you home. Our goal is to introduce, promote and en-gage buyers who might not have considered Duxbury. Does this approach work? I am number two in sales for over the past 3 years* in the very marketplace you want to promote your home.” Evan Sobran, Broker/Owner.
