Voters will decide on the fate of the new school proj-ect at this year’s annual Town Meeting, after the Board of Selectmen voted 3-0 to sup-port an article seeking $2.9 million in design funds at their meeting Monday night.

“It’s daunting,” said Se-lectman Betsy Sullivan, talk-ing about the project’s impact on taxpayers. However, she

commended the School Build-ing Committee’s work, and said they had proven their case for new construction over ren-ovation.

The Bay Players are back.

In some ways, they never left –– the com-munity theater troupe has been performing locally in Marshfield and Duxbury residents have always been involved –– but the group is back in their hometown, do-ing shows at the Cornerstone Masonic Lodge on Washing-ton Street.

The group was formed

in Duxbury during the 1950s and used to perform in the Good Knight black box the-ater at Duxbury High School, where they put on plays and musicals.

“They were very ac-tive for a long, long time,” said Duxbury resident Phil Markella, who has been the Players’ president since De-cember.

ClarificationThe Duxbury Middle

School honor roll that was printed in last week’s Clip-per was for the first term. There has been some confu-sion because the honor roll for first terms was released so close to the issuance of term 2 report cards.

speCial to the Clipper

The Duxbury Rural and Historical So-ciety held its annual

meeting on Jan. 25 during which several key volunteers were recognized with awards.

Nancy H. Martin was given an award for preserva-tion. Martin has volunteered numerous hours at the Drew Archival Library in the Wright Building. Among her projects there was the installation of an exhibit in the oval room of the Wright Building. In putting this together, she researched 19th century Chinese artwork and digitized rare paintings in the society’s collection done by artist Sunqua. The Sunqua paintings had been brought back to Duxbury by a local master mariner in the 19th century. Martin also helped to organize the recent large acquisition of books and re-cords from the Soule Kindred of America that are now kept at the Drew Archives.

The society’s volunteer award for education went to Mary Alisa Sherman for her many years of service as a do-cent at the King Caesar House and tour guide for the society’s school programs for second and fifth graders. Sherman has led bus tours and walking tours for students and made herself available for special tours of the King Caesar House, help-ing to interpret one of Dux-bury’s historic landmarks for countless visits.

Alex and Megan Marconi earned the Society’s award for activities. For the past two years, the couple has or-ganized the Christmas Mem-bers Party at the King Caesar House. It is the society’s larg-est annual event, and presents many challenges for the volun-

teers in charge. The society’s past Christmas party saw the largest attendance in several years, yet the Marconis were able to keep the event running smoothly despite the unex-pectedly high turnout.

The Society’s “Volun-teer of the Year Award” was shared by two individuals, high school students Casey Reinhart and Allie Martin. Both were part of the Drew Archival Library’s internship program with Duxbury High School, a new collaborative program. Reinhart and Martin came to the Drew Archives for one period each day and as-sisted in the cataloging of col-lections, creating finding aids and organizing a large photo-graph collection. In addition to their duties as interns, they went above and beyond the call and volunteered at numer-ous Historical Society events. Although their internships are now at an end, both Reinhart and Martin have decided to continue working at the Drew Archives through their senior project, which will involve collecting oral histories.

Society President Ken Johnston stated during the

presentations, “The society could not function without its volunteers and we are pleased to honor several of them to-night.”

Man attacks elderly Duxbury woman

By Justin GraeBer, Clipper editor [email protected]

A Hanover man was arrested by Duxbury Police last week after allegedly drunkenly crashing into an elderly woman’s home, then assaulting her when she tried to help.

Michael Hennebury, age 37, of Hanover drove his pickup truck off the road and onto the lawn of an Abrams Hill home around 9:30 p.m. on Feb. 8, according to a release from Police Chief Matthew Clancy.

The vehicle got stuck, and a woman in her 70s went out-side to see what was going on.

When she approached the truck Hennebury got out and and kicked her several times, according to police.

When the woman fell to the ground he continued to kick her in the head and face. Officer Tom Johnson arrived on scene and found Hennebury attempting to drive the vehicle out of the snow.

Hennebury was arrested and charged with assault and bat-tery with a dangerous weapon (shod foot), assault and battery on a person over 60, operating under the influence of liquor (fourth offense), and numerous traffic violations.

Although she had visible injuries, the victim refused medi-cal treatment and returned to her home, police said.

Public Safety Building Committee finalizes plans

Now Open!

Quality ready-made and special order window

781-924-5179

By susanna sheehan, Clipper staff [email protected]

The filed sub-bids for the fire station renovation project were opened last week and now the Public Safety Build-ing Committee is waiting to see if both these bids and the full construction bid will make it under their estimate of $4 million.

The complete project bids will be opened Thursday after-noon.

According to committee member and Selectman Shawn Dahlen, the sub bids are in line with estimates the committee received from its architect.

Dahlen said he expects the total cost of the main fire sta-tion renovation to remain at or just under the current estimate of $3.95 million.

He said the committee has been “fine tuning” the project and has asked Fire Chief Kevin Nord to “get proposals for ev-erything,” such as equipment and furnishings, so there are no hidden costs or surprises.

Fire station renovation plans call for demolishing the north wing of the building that houses the fire fighter’s crew quarters and replacing it with a new 6,170 square foot two-story addition with adminis-trative offices on the first floor and crew living space above.

The new crew quarters will have four bunkrooms, male and female bathrooms, a day room, fitness area and kitchen. The first floor will contain the chief’s office and other of-fices, meeting rooms, a first aid room, a decontamination room and a gear turn-out area. There will be two fire poles in the upgraded station.

Attached to the rear of the addition will be a three-bay 1,690 square foot garage for storing the fire department’s smaller equipment. The two additions total 7,860 square feet in new space.

The current emergency operations wing and central fire truck garage bays will remain and will be upgraded with new lighting, heating and a fire alarm system. The illegal inspection pit will be removed and the apparatus bay will receive required seis-mic upgrades. There will also be site work for a new septic system and improved parking, drainage and landscaping. The antique fire equipment barn in the rear of the property will be razed.

The fire station renovation project is to be funded through a debt exclusion, or a tempo-rary property tax increase that lasts only as long as it takes to pay for the project. Approving the fire station addition will re-quire both an affirmative vote at the annual Town Meeting March 12 and approval of the debt exclusion ballot question at the March 26 town elec-tion.

If the fire station project is approved, construction will begin July 2011 and should be completed by August 2012.

Recently the Public Safety Building Committee agreed to ask voters to fund both the de-sign and construction of a new police station, and now, Dahl-en said he wants the commit-tee to agree that the building won’t cost any more than $6 million. The current estimate is $6.45 million.

In fact, he’d like the price to be under $6 million.

“We really want to get be-low that number if we can,” he said.

Dahlen said the commit-tee has been reviewing all the parts of a new police station and has asked the police de-partment to get concrete prices on its required items such as equipment.

“We have pushed back on every number,” said Dahlen. “I want every number to be absolute.”

The conceptual plans for a new police station show a one-story, 15,200 square foot build-ing on 19 acres of town-owned land on Mayflower Street ad-jacent to the transfer station. Also outlined on the plans is a separate 1,000 square foot out-building for police equipment.

Like the fire station proj-ect, the new police station will be funded through a debt ex-clusion and will increase resi-dents’ taxes. It too requires a 2/3 vote at the annual Town Meeting on March 12 and a majority vote at the ballot on election day March 26

If voters approve the po-lice station project, construc-tion could begin later this fall.

If the public safety proj-ects do not receive voter sup-

port, the police and fire chiefs have said they will ask for ex-tensive repairs to their respec-tive stations through the capi-tal budget.

Chief Nord said he hasn’t spent $10,000 allotted to him by Town Meeting last year for repairs to the station in the hopes that the renovation proj-ect will pass. But if the project doesn’t, he said he must spend that money to “make emergen-cy repairs” to the station. The fire station’s roof leaks and it needs new heating, plumb-ing and electrical systems, he said.

“We’ll be back the follow-ing year, asking you the same question” for a renovated sta-tion, said Nord. “It’s a just-keep-sticking-your-finger-in-the-dike situation.”

Police Chief Matthew Clancy said if the new police station project doesn’t pass, that he’ll need a lot of money to fix up the current station.

“I’ll have to come back with a major capital project,” said Clancy.

Bids for fire station project opened

The planned layout for the new police station is a one-story design, which police officials say is optimal for the department’s operation.

A scale model on display at the last public safety Building Committee meeting shows the planned renovation to the fire station, including new crew quarters.

Selectmen reporter Su-sanna Sheehan and Editor Justin Grae-

ber shared a first place prize for government reporting at the annual New England Newspa-per and Press Association this weekend.

The prize was for the Clip-per’s coverage of the drama surrounding former police chief Mark DeLuca’s exit from town. Graeber also won first place in the Right-to-Know, a 1st amendment category, for his work exposing an illegal closed door meeting of the Duxbury School Committee.

“The article provided a great education on executive session,” said the NENPA judg-es of the Right-to-Know award. “Many who many have been shut out of meetings or denied access now know their rights. The article also provided an education to the board members. Justin did a good job of outlining the situation and then identifying the problems. The follow up article detailing the DA ruling cleared up any remaining doubt that the Clipper supports the public’s right to know.

The Board of Selectmen thought Article 32 on the Town Meeting warrant was merely a continuation of a discus-sion they started months ago about eliminating stipends and health benefits for part time elected officials.

Members of the Planning Board however, weren’t happy with the fact that the govern-ment study committee being proposed by Article 32 would also look at making their board appointed rather than elected, and selectmen eventu-ally voted to postpone the ar-ticle, deeming it “not ready for prime time.”

Selectmen Chairman Shawn Dahlen said the article really started out as a way to look at eliminating compensa-tion for part-time elected of-ficials. Members of the Board of Selectmen as well as the Board of Assessors are paid a small stipend, which isn’t much money, but it makes them eligible for the town’s health care plan. Dahlen said eliminating the benefits would save taxpayers about $70,000 per year.

“A lot of it in my mind was to put all volunteers on an eq-uitable field,” he said, noting that members of other boards such as the School Committee or Zoning Board of Appeals work just as hard without re-ceiving any compensation.

The issue hit a snag, how-ever, when it came to the town clerk. The clerk is a full time job and a true town employee, however, it is an elected po-sition. Dahlen was worried the town might not be able to eliminate benefits for other town employees without nega-

tively affecting the clerk.The wording of the article

that would have gone on the Town Meeting warrant would have given the government study committee a narrow charge. First, to determine if the position of town clerk, as-sessor, library trustee, Duxbury Housing Authority member and/or Planning Board mem-ber should be appointed; to de-termine if the position of town clerk, planning director, direc-tor of assessing and library di-rector should be appointed by the town manager; and to see if elected town officials should receive compensation includ-ing health benefits.

The first part of that charge clearly upset Planning Board Chairwoman Amy MacNab, who came down the hall with the rest of her board (the Plan-ning Board also holds Monday night meetings at Town Hall) and read a prepared statement.

“These issues have been addressed and answered,” MacNab said, referring to a study group from 2006 that looked at many of the same issues. “The five charges pro-posed in this study are more than hard to understand ... Is it really the correct use of power to keep forming new commit-tees and keep asking the ques-tion until you get the answer you want?”

She urged the board to re-ject the article.

Selectman Christopher Donato agreed.

“It seems somewhat of a power grab,” he said.

Will Zachmann of Standish Street disagreed with the idea of making the town clerk ap-pointed.

“Having an elected town clerk is a long standing new

england tradition,” he said. “This is a very explicit agenda of an attempt to reduce citizen participation.”

He called the proposal “of-fensive” and referred to the move as the “Chris Donato revenge act.” (Donato is the only member of the Board of Selectmen to accept health benefits.

Betsy Sullivan said that she still thought some of the issues worth studying, even though the 2006 committee (which she and Planning Board mem-ber George Wadsworth sat on) touched on them.

“Town Clerk is not the same position that it was 30 years ago. It is amazingly technical and tied to litiga-tion,” she said.

However, she said there were some parts of the article she was uncomfortable with, particularly any notion of tak-ing away elected positions other than the town clerk.

“I do in no way support taking anything away from the people who vote in Duxbury,” she said.

Sullivan originally sug-gested amending the article on Town Meeting floor, but later changed her mind and said it should be passed over alto-gether.

“I don’t think we’re there yet. I would move to IP it and bring it back after you fleshed it out with what you’re really want to do,” she said. “I’m always in favor of looking at how we do business and can we do better. Democracy is messy and it’s always a work in progress.”

The board voted 3-0 to in-definitely postpone the article.

Members of the planning Board took a break from their meeting down the hall to let the Board of selectmen know their displeasure with Article 32, which would have formed a government study commit-tee to look at, among other things, making the planning Board appointed rather than elected. selectmen voted to postpone the article, deeming it “not ready for prime time.”

By Justin GraeBer, Clipper editor [email protected]

The Duxbury arm of a real estate business that has tried –– and failed –– to develop the Millbrook neighborhood has voluntarily filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.

S&G Associates of Dux-bury filed in federal bankruptcy court on Feb. 4, according to a case summary. The company was an LLC set up by Silvia & Silvia, commercial real estate developers based in Osterville, to develop a 40B affordable housing project in Millbrook called Millbrook Crossing. The project would have been a mix of commercial space and apartments.

That project ran into trou-ble with the Board of Health over the septic system. The developer wanted to raze the abandoned Goodrich Lumber building on Railroad Avenue and build a mounded septic system. The town at the time had a ban on such systems for new construction.

The issue led to a war of words, as residents pushed back against the septic sys-tem and the building’s existing tenants expressed fears over rent and a lack of communica-tion from the developer. This spilled over into actual vio-lence when someone threw a rock through the window of Silvia & Silvia’s satellite of-fice in Millbrook. The project

was eventually withdrawn, and there is currently nothing pending before the town.

S&G is described in cor-porate filings with the Mass. secretary of state’s office as a domestic limited liability com-pany, organized in November of 2006. Floyd and Ronald Silvia are listed as managers, and the company’s principal office is listed as Silvia & Sil-via’s main office in Osterville –– although the bankruptcy documents list the address as 80 Railroad Ave. in Duxbury.

In the filing, S&G states that they estimate they would not have enough money to pay their unsecured creditors, of which they have between 1-39. Their assets are valued at between $1-10 million dollars –– as are their outstanding li-

abilities.S&G will have to produce

further documentation to the court by Feb. 18, including a list of the company’s 20 larg-est creditors and a statement of financial affairs, according to the filing. There is a meeting scheduled for March 7.

Silvia & Silvia did not re-turn a phone call and e-mail seeking comment. The attor-ney handling the bankruptcy case, Gary Cruickshank, also did not respond to requests for comment.

The former Goodrich lum-ber building has been the sub-ject of ongoing foreclosure discussions. A foreclosure auc-tion was originally scheduled for Jan. 21. It was rescheduled to Feb. 4, and has been post-poned again until May 11.

Duxbury Beach Preservation’s Ed Night Feb. 16

On Wednesday, Feb. 16 at 7:30 p.m. at the Duxbury Bay Maritime School, the Duxbury Beach Preservation Society, a subcommittee of the Duxbury Beach Reservation, Inc., launches another exciting year of events. This year for their “Ed night,” they will host norman Smith, Director of the Blue Hills Trailside Museum and the Norman Smith Environ-mental Education Center. Smith will speak about his work with snowy owls and other shore birds.

Did you know that the snowy owls seen on Duxbury Beach have been moved from Boston’s Logan International Airport, and that Smith is the one who traps them and transports them to our beach? Come learn about these beautiful creatures from an expert who has spent countless days and nights, in all weather conditions, observing, capturing, banding, and color marking the owls. For the last several years, Smith has also been banding ospreys in Duxbury and other towns.

As a self-taught naturalist and member of the Massachu-setts Audubon Society for the last 35 years, Smith has studied birds of prey, rehabilitated the injured, and successfully fos-tered over 1,000 orphaned hawk and owl chicks into adoptive nests. In addition to his work with owls at Logan Airport, he has traveled to Alaska to study snowy owls in their native tun-dra habitat. His research work has been published in National Geographic, national Wildlife, Ranger Rick, Yankee, Mas-sachusetts Wildlife, Bird Observer, Birding, Sanctuary, Geo, Nature, Grolier Encyclopedia, Owls of the Northern Hemi-sphere, and Owls of the World.

Admission is free, and light refreshments will be served. For further information, call 781-934-2907.

The Sisters of the Society of St. Mar-garet announced

on Feb. 11 that they intend to make their property on Harden Hill Road in Duxbury their year-round residence and headquarters. The Sisters will build a new residence centered on their Duxbury property, with a design focused on en-vironmental sustainability and rooted in traditional New Eng-land architectural style. Nine Sisters will live in the new building.

The Sisters are looking forward to becoming a more permanent part of the Dux-bury community and believe it is an ideal location from which they can continue their minis-try. There will be a regular round of services of worship and other events to which the public will be welcome.

Based in Boston since 1873, for the past 20 years the Sisters’ headquarters has been located in Roxbury in a 38,000 square foot building set on four acres of property. The building is too large for the Sisters and they cannot af-ford to stay there, especially at a time when they are focusing their limited resources on their mission in Haiti, where there is a desperate need for help and assistance. The Sisters are

consolidating their convent in Duxbury, a property their order has owned since 1903. Three Sisters will remain in a rented apartment in Boston so that they can continue the vital ministry they do in the city.

The Sisters are working with Saltonstall Architects, an experienced and well-respect-ed architectural firm, and are committed to minimizing the impact of the project on neigh-boring properties. Preliminary plans for the new residence on Harden Hill Road are in keep-ing with the other buildings on the property, blending in well with the natural surround-ings. The design incorporates an ecological sensitivity that

seeks to minimize the “envi-ronmental footprint” on the site wherever possible.

The Sisters and their ar-chitects will be meeting with appropriate town boards over the coming months to present their plan for the property.

Boy Scout Troop 62 to host pancake breakfast

Boy Scout Troop 62 Duxbury invites all to a Pancake Break-fast to raise money for the the Venturing Scouts of Troop 62. The breakfast will take place on Sunday, Feb. 20 at Holy Fam-ily Church from 7:30 a.m.-1 p.m. in the lower level. Tickets are $5 for adults and $3 for seniors and children.

Troop 62 is very active in the community working on proj-ects including Alden House Cleanup, Clark’s Island Prepara-tion and many other volunteer efforts. Over the last couple of years the troop has grown to over 80 scouts (between the ages of 12-18) and has had over 15 fellow scouts achieve the rank of Eagle, the highest rank in scouting. In 2007 the troop estab-lished the Venturing Scouts of Troop 62. This group of scouts are between the ages of 14-18 who participate in more high adventure trips.

In April, the venturing scouts will be attending Sea Base High Adventure Camp in The Bahamas. This trip requires that each scout have of a minimum rank of First Class as the scouts will be working on an active schooner for five days. This is a working vessel and not a pleasure cruise, and the scouts will be responsible for maintaining the ship as well as standing watch throughout the night.

After marriage, they started their family in Roslin-dale, later moving to Scituate and eventually Cohasset and Duxbury. In addition to being a homemaker, Mrs. McInerney was a hostess and bookkeeper at the family restaurant and a volunteer at the Duxbury Senior Center and in child care. She was a devout Catholic, a daily communicant and lay assistant for years at Holy Family Parish of Duxbury.

Mrs. McInerney was the wife of the late

John T. McInerney and was predeceased by her sisters Annie MacIntire, Gertie Peters and Amelia Mallard, and brothers William and Kenny MacDonald. She leaves her sons, Walter McInerney and his fiancée Andrea Bernasconi of Scituate, Gerald McInerney and his compan-ion Jennifer Gallagher of Brighton, Lawrence McInerney and his wife Eileen of Scituate; her daughter Rosanne Ross and her husband David of Marshfield; her sisters Theresa MacIsaac and Sister Rita MacDonald of Ontario; her broth-ers, John and Bernard MacDonald of P.E.I. and Walter, Leo, Ronnie and George MacDonald of Ontario; eight grandchildren and one great-grandson. A funeral was held at the MacDonald Funeral Home on Feb. 15, followed by a funer-al Mass at the Holy Family Church. Burial will be in the New Calvary Cemetery, Boston.

schools was down.The good news is that the

program is now profitable –– to the tune of about $107,000, according to School Business Manager Susan Nauman.

Susan Murray and Gail Ol-iveira from Chartwells came before the School Committee last Wednesday to give the board an update.

“The biggest improvement is the menu,” said Murray. “We’ve gone over to healthier, a la carte items ... We’ve got-ten some great feedback.”

Chartwells has taken trans-fats out of the school lunch menus and has introduced lower-fat milk and more whole grain items, she said.

Murray said that Chartwells has also repainted and reno-vated the cafeterias at both the high school and middle school.

“I think they came out well,” she said.

However, the transition hasn’t been without its bumps, and overall participation is still down.

“I think we have great staff that works for the food servic-es department,” said Oliveira. “But [the question is,] how do we change someone’s percep-tion of eating.”

She said that the company

wants to be proactive in antici-pating new governmental rules and regulations.

“The guidelines are get-ting more strict. School dis-tricts across the country are being challenged,” she said. “I think for us, being new ... we just want to keep communicat-ing, keep encouraging the re-imbursable meal over snacks, and stay ahead of the curve in regards to what’s health.”

In addition to the ongo-ing challenge of participation, Chartwells hit a snag when the school’s point of service ma-chines broke down. Oliveira said the district was helpful in getting the terminals back on-line.

School Committee Chair-woman Anne Ward asked the reps how they were tracking the participation numbers. Murray said they prepare monthly re-ports for Nauman.

“We’d like to see the

trends go up,” said Oliveira, adding that the company be-lieves paid meals are down all over because the economy. She said Chartwells is working on changing the perspective that it’s more expensive to buy lunch.

“It costs more to brown bag a lunch versus what they pay for school lunch,” she said.

Nauman said the participa-tion numbers are not increas-ing but they are staying level.

“They’re not going up and down like they were last year,” she said. Duxbury sells about 18,000 meals a month, ac-counting for about 30 percent of student body.

Murray said she’s gotten positive feedback from par-ents, especially about the lim-ited snacks.

“They’re very pleased about the food changes, espe-cially at the elementary level.,” she said.

Murray believes some stu-dents were less than enthusat-ics about the changes, how-ever, because some of the less healthy –– but more popular –– items were phased out for more nutritious alternatives.

“I think next year you’ll see participation increase a lit-tle more,” she said. “I’m sure we got a little feedback to the no french fries, no frying.”

The Duxbury School Com-mittee heard from district staff at their last meeting, speak-ing about the issues in school buildings that were com-pounded by the recent spate of bad weather.

Duxbury Middle School Principal Blake Dalton said that his students lost a total of 113 hours of learning time when teachers had to be moved out of their classroom.

The classroom moves had to happen four times. Two were for failures in the heating system, and two were because of wet classrooms.

“You could have gone into the band room and ... if you stuck a sprinkler in the celling and turn it on I don’t think you could have gotten more wa-ter,” he said of the flooding.

He said that the water ru-ined carpets in the music rooms that were brand new. However, he credited the students and teachers for soldiering on de-spite the building problems.

“The band played on,” he said. “They don’t complain ... it’s what they’re used to.”

He also said that because of the buildings multiple uses over the years (it has been a high school as well as an el-ementary school), the layout is not optimal for the pod/cluster teaching approach that is used in middle schools these days.

“I know we’re doing an excellent job running a middle school in a high school build-ing,” Dalton said. He said for that reason, rehabilitating the building would be difficult.

“It would be an extreme challenge to be moving walls around, tearing the building apart to make that type of con-figuration,” he said.

Other School Commit-tee members agreed, pointing out that new classrooms have been crammed into spaces not designed for that use.

“I’ve heard from some middle schoolers I know that it’s been a major distraction,” said Gary Magnuson.

Duxbury High School sci-

ence department head Cheryl Lewis also came before the board with information on the facilities in the science labs. (See letter on page 25)

Also at last Wednesday’s meeting, the board discussed the district’s strategic plan. Duxbury is just coming off a five-year plan.

Member Mary Lou Buell asked if the district always hires a consultant (they are currently looking at proposals from the Massachusetts Asso-ciation of School Committees and Future Management Sys-tems, the group used to hire new Superintendent Benedict Tantillo).

“This should be Duxbury’s vision, what our plan is,” she said. “We need to figure out

ourselves what it is that we want our students to know, and be and accomplish by the time they’re done with their educa-tion.”

Magnuson said they should look into hiring a firm to “keep things moving,” but cautioned that the direction should come from local people.

“We don’t want to hire someone to write a plan for us ... if we hire someone, we want to hire someone who’s going to facilitate the process,” he said.

There was some debate over whether the process would start right away or in the fall. Member John Hein-stadt was concerned the study group would start off strong but lose momentum over the summer.

Tantillo said he would ask the two groups what they would recommend for a time-line. He also said he and the administrative staff have been examining the district’s mis-sion statement.

“Everyone agreed it needs to be updated,” he said.

“I think that’s a good place to start,” said Maureen Con-nolly.

“I don’t think the debate is ever going to be about the need,” she said.

The article, even if ap-proved in a 2/3 vote on Town Meeting floor, is far from the final step in the process. The design money would also have to be approved at the ballot box. A special Town Meeting would then be held sometime in the fall to approve the total construction costs, and that number would also have to be voted in at the ballot box, most likely at a special election, un-less the special Town Meeting is held before November.

The total construction, or “turnkey” cost for the building is estimated at $130 million, but that number won’t be final-ized until after the schematic design process is completed.

School Building Chair-woman Elizabeth Lewis gave a presentation to the selectmen on the article and the case for new schools over repairing or renovating the existing build-ing.

“We’ve had custodians sleeping over at the middle school to make sure the boil-ers don’t die this winter,” she said of the middle school. “It’s gotten to the point that it is hindering the curriculum.”

She pointed out that both the town’s 2000 master plan and an 2002 visit from an accreditation team from the New England Association of Schools and Colleges high-lighted the district’s aging mid-dle school and high school.

“Things haven’t gotten any better,” Lewis said. “It will be an expensive project no matter what gets done.”

Lewis’ group looked at several options, including repairing or renovating the buildings. She said that even basic repairs would cost tax-

payers millions, and wouldn’t be eligible for reimbursement from the Mass. School Build-ing Authority (as new con-struction would be.)

She also pointed out that if repairs total more than 30 percent of assessed value of the buildings, they have to be brought into compliance with handicapped access and other building codes. The estimated costs of repairing the buildings are in some cases triple the as-sessed value of the buildings.

“When it’s all said and done you haven’t got anything more than a good sound struc-ture ... and you’re stuck with some of the things that don’t work right now,” she said.

A team of architects from the School Building Authority visited DMS and DHS, Lewis said, and determined that the buildings weren’t worth re-pairing. The MSBA has rec-ommended a co-located high school and middle school.

New construction, she said, would be phased in such a way that students wouldn’t have to be housed in temporary trail-ers (which are not reimburs-able by the MSBA). She also said a co-located school with a single pick up and drop off point may ease congestion on St. George Street.

“It’s time to get them re-placed,” she said. “It was time 20 years ago and it hasn’t got-ten any better.”

If Duxbury taxpayers ap-prove all aspects of the project, the new school would likely be put out to bid and construction would begin by the spring of 2012. The new middle school portion of the project would take two years to complete; the high school, three.

Lewis said that for the me-dian home value in Duxbury, $481,000, the tax increase to pay for the project would be

about 11 percent, which works out to $800.

Selectmen Chairman Shawn Dahlen said that he too was convinced of the benefits of new construction.

“The idea of putting kids in trailers ... is certainly not in the best interests of kids being educated,” he said.

He also said that the MSBA –– especially since Duxbury will be participating in the model school program –– will help keep the project on budget.

“They’ve got this tuned that they’re not going to spend an extra dime,” he said. “I’d almost look at them as a tax-payer watchdog.”

Will Zachmann of Standish Street expressed a concern that the project costs could balloon out of control, as they did with the recent high school project in Newton. Lewis said being in the model school program prevents that possibility.

“There has not been a school project that this town has signed on for that didn’t come in on budget,” said Sulli-van, who served on the School Committee before becoming a selectman. “Every project in the last 30 years.”

Other members in the au-dience wanted to get a firmer handle on parts of the project that wouldn’t be reimbursed by the MSBA. For example, Duxbury’s central administra-tion offices are currently in the high school. If they were moved over to the new build-ing, the MSBA won’t allow their money to be used for that. Lewis said that after the sche-matic design is done, all that information will be broken out for taxpayers to review at the special Town Meeting.

The new building would be constructed behind the existing high school, so it could be done in stages without forcing students to temporary trailers or modulars. Those things are not reimbursable by the Massachusetts school Building Authority.

ipswitch Middle school/High school is an example of a co-located school that is also part of the state’s model school program. By par-ticipating in the model program, duxbury would choose an existing design and save on design time and construction costs.

Town officials are work-ing to see if there is a spot in Duxbury that might be the per-fect site for a municipal wind turbine that would provide the town with clean, renewable energy.

The Alternative Energy Committee worked with the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center to obtain a $65,000 grant for a feasibility study, according to member Jim Goldenberg. This, after a pre-liminary study called a site as-sessment, was done last year, looked at several sites around town to see if there was any potential for a windmill in Duxbury.

“What that study did was it took half a dozen possible sites and did a desktop analy-sis of their suitability for wind turbines, to see if any of the sites qualify for further study,” Goldenberg said.

That study recommended the area between the DPW yard behind Town Hall and North Hill as a good site for a turbine.

“Generally, being a coastal community, Duxbury has pret-ty good wind,” Goldenberg said. “It’s where is a wind tur-bine going to be most appro-priate and where is it going to have the least negative impact ... You also don’t want to build it too far our where it’s going to be a prohibitive amount of money to connect it to the grid.”

There was originally talk of building a temporary tower that could measure wind data, known as a MET tower, on the site. However, Golden-berg said that because there is enough information on weath-er patterns in this area, the tower won’t be necessary.

“It’s more computer mod-

eling than anything else,” he said.

The feasibility study process, which will take six months, will look at things like wind resources, interconnec-tion and access issues as well as noise generated, aesthetics, and impact on recreation. It will also give the town an idea of what building and main-taining a turbine would cost, and what it would generate in revenue.

“It will give us a relatively detailed pro forma,” Golden-berg said.

Town Meeting last year approved a bylaw that would allow a municipal turbine on town-owned land. However, the article didn’t come with a dime of funding, and the Al-ternative Energy Committee has sought out grants to fund further study of wind power in Duxbury.

If the town does decide to build a windmill, there are two ways of doing it, Goldenberg said. The town could build and run the turbine themselves, or they could hire a third-party to

build and maintain it.Once the turbine is up, it

won’t directly supply power to Duxbury town buildings. Rather, the electricity gener-ated will be credited by NStar, the town’s utility company.

“We’d have the ability to basically put the power back into the grid,” Goldenberg said. “We’re selling electricity back to the utility and they’re applying it to our bills.”

Goldenberg is looking for-ward to working with SED, Sustainable Energy Develop-ment, the company hired to run the feasibility study.

“It’s going to be an interac-tive process over the next two months,” he said. The commit-tee expects the first round of feedback in a couple months. “We’ll try to zero in on a loca-tion.”

If all goes well, the Al-ternative Energy Committee hopes to bring a proposal to Town Meeting in 2012.

“I think we’re two years away at the earliest,” Golden-berg said.

Dear DHS football players, coaches, and members of the community,

For the last three years, I have had the honor and pleasure of being an assistant football coach at DHS. It has been one of the best experiences of my life. Therefore, it is with mixed emotions that I leave to become the head coach at Dover-Sherborn.

I live in Westwood and I drove 45 minutes every day to Duxbury to coach for free. I loved every minute of it. I never minded the drive. I never wanted to be paid. I was compensated with friendships and memories that are priceless.

The �irst time I took Exit 11 off Route 3 – and every time since – I was struck by the town’s beauty. Every single drive, I loved seeing the cranberry bogs and the stone walls. “There’s the police station. I’d better slow down. I’m driving too fast. I can’t wait for today’s practice. (Am I the only one who’s excited?) This week, we play ______. We’re gonna win as long as we…. And there’s the Murphy home. Bobby’s playing at Cornell. God, he was fast. Oops, gotta slow down again. Here’s the middle school. God, look at the performing arts complex. It’s gorgeous.”

My �irst year coaching at DHS was 2008. That team was special – loaded with talent – but what impressed me most was the work ethic and intelligence of the players. Young men like Ben Urann, who recently told me he was doing plant toxicology testing and attending the Honors College at UMASS, and players like Tom Dacey, had made themselves bigger, faster, stronger, and better. In addition to being scholars and gentlemen off the �ield, they kicked butt on it – a winning combination.

I remember meeting incredible parents like the moms of Quinn Cully, Pat McWilliams, and Matt Savard, and the daCunha family. And then you could grab a gourmet sandwich from Dorazio’s or a pastry from French Memories. And my God, the view! Is this place for real?

My second year was also terri�ic. We won the league again. It was great watching Aaron Kramer start to reach his potential. Soon we’ll be seeing him play on Saturdays at BC. Perhaps one day he’ll play on Sundays. I hope he’ll remember his old line coach. I know I’ll remember him.

My second year I also came to appreciate how amazing the football staff is. Dave Maimaron is quietly building one of the best football programs in the state. He always pretends to be dumb – and when he called plays I disagreed with, he obviously was – but make no mistake. He’s very smart and very good at what he does, which is to make football players and turn boys into men. No less incredible is the work of Harry Taylor, the defensive coordinator and a gym teacher at school. He does a mountain of work each week to analyze �ilm of the opponent, devise a game plan, and best of all, he teaches it to the players in a simple, logical way. He never draws attention to himself because he only cares about the players. He should be commended for doing an outstanding job.

The strength coach, Rob Ferrera, is equally deserving. I have witnessed the workouts he designs turn mediocre underclassmen into bigger, faster, stronger athletes who become dominant upperclassmen. Players like Nick Mann, Colman Duggan, and Dave Donovan are just some of the guys who supplied the work ethic, and Coach Ferrera was able to work his magic.

The rest of the staff is fantastic. Coach Bob Clearly, who works with the wide receivers and Junior Varsity, is the longest tenured member of the staff. He serves as the program’s historian. “Coach, when is the last time Silver Lake beat us?” He knows. And he also acts as a calming in�luence on some of us coaches who – um, ahem – get a little too excited sometimes. Coach John “Tag” Taglieri coaches the defensive line and the Junior Varsity too. He reminds us that, “It’s not the X’s and O’s that matter. It’s the Jimmies and Joes. And your Jimmies and Joes had better be tough!” Coach Tag always has a joke on hand that puts a smile on our face.

I didn’t work as closely with some of the other coaches, but people like Mike Armandi, who teaches at the middle school and runs the Freshmen team, do a great job. Mike is always up-beat and always smiling. I wish I could always be in a good mood like him and I wish I had as many good ideas for offensive plays as he does. The trainer, Tim McPhillips, also teaches PE and does a fantastic job of keeping the players safe and healthy. I have coached at six different programs in four different states and I have never seen a trainer better manage the players’ desire to play, their ability to do so, the team’s needs, and what’s best for the young man’s health.

This past season was perhaps the most special one for me. It was my third year with players like Nick Mann, Colman Duggan, Dave Donovan, Brett Harisimowicz, and Wes Dow. They worked tirelessly and sel�lessly and played intelligently. They might be teenagers technically but they are men in every sense of the word. I have two little boys of my own and if they grow up to be like those linemen I can die happy.

One huge regret I have is moving on before I see other great guys fully develop. Players like Owen Gray, Mark Trudeau, Winston Shrom, Rob Kosherek, Gordon Acha, and others will certainly succeed if they train hard and play smart and together as their predecessors have.

I could go on and on about how much I enjoyed watching game-�ilm with the team in the computer lab or at the Guilfoyles’ home. I could reach into my closet and pull out with pride the piles of Duxbury clothing I now have. (I’m about to add another Super Bowl ring to the collection!) But my favorite memory of all will be the following. (And I have tears in my eyes as I type this on a Tuesday night, at 10:21 PM, next to my sleeping wife.)

Thanks to the players, I had the opportunity, on two cold December Saturday mornings, to ride out of town on the team bus. I saw parents and siblings lining the parking lot and waving signs and clanging bells. As the bus drove on, I saw more signs and footballs with the names, numbers, and faces of the seniors and other players on the team. Farther on, there were more parents and green and white balloons. (The family support touched me. I was born and raised in Washington, DC, where there isn’t that sense of community, so when I saw that in Duxbury, I cried. Fortunately, the players were sitting behind me.) As the bus turned onto the highway, the police escort put on their sirens. I remember thinking: “These kids don’t need a police escort. They don’t let anything get in their way.”

Here’s to hoping and knowing that these kids will continue to roll on.

Duxbury Football is special. It’s not about football per se. It’s about family. Thank you for letting me be a part of your family.

Sincerely,Joey Schotland

Net birdingBy fahy ByGate, Clipper Columnist

If you are a home birder, winter is a great time for you. No dragging around in the bitter cold. Just pour a cup of coffee, pull up a chair and pick up the binoculars.

If you have a decent collection of feeders set up where you can view them from your window, you can rack up a list of birds almost as impressive as the birder who rises at dawn and hits the woods. Of course you need to have good seed in your feeders, some cover nearby and, if possible, a source of water. Some suet hanging from a nearby tree will provide calories (and therefore, warmth) and will often attract woodpeckers.

But if you want to do more, take a look at Cornell University’s Lab of Ornithology Web site. The opportunities for people who are interested in birds but are not ornithologists or even expert birders are many and diverse. Try EBIRD and contribute to the globally accessibly database they amass. Or use EBIRD to look at patterns of bird occurrence and how humans influence them. Contribute to Feeder Watch by keeping close records of what birds come to your feeder and submitting those records for inclusion in a global database. Find and monitor bird’s nests and send your records to Nest Watch. Scientists can use the information to track the reproductive success of North American breeding birds across the continent.

Sign up to Celebrate Urban Birds, pick a small park or city garden or even a flower pot and observe the area for 10 minutes noting the presence or absence of 16 species of birds. You will receive a packet of information, flower seeds and a bird poster. This is a terrific project for children as is the Backyard Bird Count, the Pigeon Watch and the game of Camclickr of sorting camera images into categories. It even includes prizes!

There are prizes too for the WeLoveBirds photo contest. Or collect kudos from your fellow birders for doing your first Big Sit, the sport of counting all the species of birds found in an area only 227 square feet in one day. (yes, birders are a little wacky).

The Cornell Web site offers the amateur birder dozens of ways to improve their skills. Check out their sound and video archive or the animated maps of bird migration or read articles and blogs about birding, feeding birds, bird fluctuations. Learn how scientists saved Brown Pelicans in the Gulf oil spill or where to travel to see birds. Read book reviews, listen to The Sound of the Week or find out what the latest explanation of all those dead blackbirds is.

Whether you want to know more about birds or want to join the Citizen Scientist program, birds.cornell.edu is a treasure trove. Take a look!

Zone Theatre in Marshfield, but they moved to the Corner-stone Lodge last year, where they put on a summer theater camp for teens and produced “On Golden Pond” in Novem-ber.

In March, “Crime of the Heart” by Beth Henley will take place in the main room at the lodge. “Crimes” is about the three Magrath sisters, Meg, Babe, and Lenny, who reunite at Old Granddaddy’s home in Hazlehurst, Mississippi after Babe shoots her abusive hus-band. The show won the 1981 Pulitzer Prize for drama.

The play is Boston theater veteran Bill Gardiner’s first time at the helm for the Bay Players. Gardiner, who teaches theater at the Boston Universi-ty Academy, was approached by a former president of the Players about pitching and directing a show in Duxbury. His wife Anne is the assistant director and will be helming

another production later in the season (see sidebar).

“I’d heard about Bay Play-ers in the past, but I never did anything with them,” Gardiner said.

He thought “Crimes of the Heart” would be a natural fit for the troupe and the setting.

“When I was in my 20s it was a piece that was done all the time,” he said. “It has very strong female roles, that’s al-ways a good thing for commu-nity theater because females always outnumber the men.”

Although the play was meant to be a reflection of cur-rent events and has turned into more of an early 70s period piece, Gardiner still feels the central themes of people strug-gling to escape the cycle of a dysfunctional family still ring true today.

“It’s a well-written play. I like the women in the play, they have a very clear jour-ney,” he said. “The women transform themselves. There’s a realization that they can re-define themselves on their own terms.

“They discover that they are capable and worthy of love ... Lord knows, when doesn’t that resonate?”

Despite the group’s deep history in the community, all of the cast in this show are new to the Bay Players.

“It has been really interest-ing,” said Duxbury resident Matt Brady, who plays Doc Porter. “It’s amazing to see how it all comes together.”

Brady grew up in Dux-bury, and recently moved back to town in 2007. He said he hasn’t acted since high school, but once the theater bug bites, it’s hard to shake.

“I just wanted to get back into it,” he said.

Markella did theater at Duxbury High School, and was approached to be in a Bay Play-ers show but it didn’t work out when he went off to college. In 2009, he auditioned for Plaza Suite with the Players, and has been involved ever since.

“I’ve always had an inter-est in it,” he said of community theater. “It’s escapism. Some people golf, I like to do the-ater.”

The group doesn’t do mu-sicals any more –– more of a logistics issue than an artistic choice –– but they do a com-edy or drama each season, in addition to the teen camp and dinner mystery theater.

“Comedies are good sell-ers,” Markella said. “People like to come out and laugh.”

While the group is still looking for a permanent home (“It’s never off our radar,” Markella said) the Lodge has been a good temporary home.

“This has been a perfect fit for us for the time being,” Markella said. “The Masons have been very hospitable.”

Anyone interested in find-ing out more about the Bay Players can visit their Web site, bayplayers.org. Markella said in addition to actors, they are always looking for backstage people –– stage managers, carpenters and front of house people.

“Come to a meeting, just see what it’s all about,” he said.

With this performance, Gardiner hopes that it isn’t about happy endings but hope for the future.

“I had a teacher a long time ago who asked what do you want your audience to walk out with,” he said. “I would like my audience to walk out with a sense that, though these women ... the questions aren’t answered but there is hope.”

THE LINK BETWEEN OBESITY AND CHRONIC PAINObesity and chronic pain are sig-nificant problems for a large per-centage of the U.S. population. Research also shows that the two problems are linked in that over-weight individuals are at greater risk for chronic pain. Due to the excessive weight placed on their joints, overweight and obese in-dividuals most commonly experi-ence low back pain and osteoar-thritis. A recent study also shows that overweight and obese indi-viduals also are more likely to ex-perience tension-type or migraine headache, fibromyalgia, abdomi-nal pain, and chronic widespread pain. Researchers also point out that depression plays a role in con-tributing to chronic pain since it leads to sedentary behavior that inhibits movement. Chiropractic treatment can help break this vi-cious cycle by getting overweight

individuals moving again. Find relief from the detrimental effects of obesity. Chiropractic places an emphasis on nutritional and exercise programs, wellness, and lifestyle modifications for promoting physical and mental health. Please call LALONDE CHI-ROPRACTIC SPINE CENTER OF NEW ENGLAND and make an appoint-ment. We are conveniently locat-ed at 42 Tremont St., Suite 10B (Rt 3A at Rt 3).

Kicking the bottled water habit

By diCk rothsChild, Clipper Columnist

Filtered tap water in throw-away bottles has got to be one of the biggest scams yet –– right up there with sub-prime mortgage derivatives and investing with

Bernie Madoff. Yet we seem to have become disposable-bottle babies, hooked on drinking and tossing. Our frivolous drinking water habit is squandering energy, degrading the environment and picking our pockets at the same time. A few sobering statistics to consider:

• It takes up to 2,000 times more energy to produce bottled tap water than tap water.

• Bottled water produces over 2.5 million tons of carbon dioxide a year.

• north America uses more bottled water than any other continent (30.3 percent of all the bottled water used on the planet).

In Duxbury, though, instead of taking a laissez faire attitude (as we seem to towards in-law apartments) we are taking specific action to staunch the use of bottled water. Hopefully, we are beginning to cure ourselves of our bottled water addiction.

Disposable bottled water on the tables of televised selectmen’s and school board meetings was clearly sending the wrong message! To counteract this effect, Sustainable Duxbury decided to give board members reusable water bottles for their meetings. It was a successful move but a preliminary one. More needed to be done.

Arguably, the folks at Sustainable Duxbury concluded that school agers would be more concerned with a sustainable environment and more accepting of change than their parents and grandparents, so they decided to see what the drinking water situation was at Duxbury High. They found that bottled water was being sold in dispensing machines in the cafeteria.

While conventional bubblers were available at various locations in the building they were often shunned by students who felt a need to bring drinking water with them to athletic and other school and extra curricular activities. What seemed to be needed was some sort of easy-to-use water dispenser at which students, faculty and staff could conveniently fill reusable water bottles.

A little research uncovered a device which seemed to fit the bill. Called a Hydration Station, it is a sleek stainless steel and ABS plastic wall mounted, semi-recessed unit which fills reusable bottles with state of the art fresh filtered water. Its trim 15” x 30” body packs enough advanced engineering features to capture the imagination of the most enthusiastic “techie.”

For starters, the Hydration Station has an electronic sensor which enables hygienic touch-free filling of different sized water bottles. Its .8 gpm laminar flow facilitates fast fill-ups without splashes. A long lasting 2500 gallon carbon based filter in the unit is automatically monitored activating an indicator light when a replacement filter is needed.

Considering the quality of materials and bells and whistles incorporated in the Hydration Station it is not surprising that its installed cost tops $2,000.

School officials were enthusiastic but the school budget was already strained. So, Jim Savicki, Sustainable Duxbury’s co-chairman, looked around for a private sponsor and approached Island Creek’s Shore Gregory, Director of Business Development and overseer of the local firm’s charitable arm, The Island Creek Foundation. After carefully vetting the project, Island Creek generously agreed to underwrite the cost of the Hydration Station.

As I submit this column, Duxbury’s new Hydration Station is being installed in Duxbury High School’s north lobby. It goes to show that when Duxbury volunteers, officials and environmentally minded local businesses get together, sustainable living takes a big step forward.

The Hydration station is in at dHs and is a big success. The students pictured using the new station are sam sweet and Colman duggan.

Crimes of the Heart of Cornerstone Lodge

The Bay players, who were founded and performed in duxbury for many years, recently returned to town and are performing at the Cornerstone Masonic lodge on washington street, beginning with “on golden pond” last november.

Bill gardiner, a veteran of the Boston theater scene, is directing the show. His wife Anne is the assistant director, although she will be helm-ing a show of her own later in the players’ sea-son.

gardiner gives a note to the cast during rehearsal at the Cornerstone lodge.

sisters’ kitchen.

Jessica Corey plays Babe, the sister who is facing a murder charge after shooting her abusive husband.

Alison Hutchinson plays Chick Boyle, a neighboring gossipy cousin.

Meg, Barnett lloyd (played by steve levin) and Babe rehearse a scene.

Crimes of the Heart is often labeled a tragicomedy. Here the Mcgrath sisters Babe, lenny and Meg (played by siobhan stackpole) can’t help laughing at the tragedy of their grandfather’s stroke.

Around town there are many discus-sions going on

about the proposals to build or rebuild our schools. In my mind it makes no sense to spend millions of dollars to try to convert our old schools into up to date and up to code new schools. It would be like me trying to convert my 1996 Jeep into a 2011 Corvette. But on the other hand, I could invest a few bucks into the needed re-pairs, and I would then at least I would have a vehicle worthy of the road. Granted it would not be beautiful, but it would be functional, and it would get me

where I needed to go.Along that line of thought,

it seems to me that investing a few million dollars to update systems (heating and roofs) that extend the life of existing buildings would be a more pru-dent way of utilizing our tax dollars.

If we go forward with build-ing new schools our children that will be entering Kinder-garten this year will be in their thirties, and their children will be entering grade school when the new school “temporary tax increase” expires.

Richard BrennenMyrtle Street

The PBSC announced constructions costs of $3.953 million

for the fire station, including site improvements. The latter includes a new septic system, improved parking, drainage, and landscaping. The north wing would be demolished and replaced with a 7,860 sq. ft. building. This is not renova-tion, but demolition and recon-struction.

The cost per square foot would be about $503, a very high cost by all standards. By comparison, luxury condos in Boston cost the buyer about $300 to $350, which includes a hefty profit.

According to standard-ized estimating principles, the

cost of a two story brick-faced building with concrete block back up walls , steel beam, and three bay garage should be about $200/sq. ft.

The public needs to know the answers to the following questions about the PBSC deci-sion:

• What studies were done to determine the need?

• On what basis were the fu-ture needs for space, increased work force and equipment de-termined?

• Have future needs in terms of emergency and non emergency responses been ana-lyzed?

• Will the responses de-crease, increase or stay about the same? There will be more

houses, but better equipped, with installed smoke detectors, fire alarm systems and fire re-sistant materials.

• Will the engines/equip-ment be bigger, or could they be smaller, occupying less space , due to new technology and ef-ficiency.

• Do we need a larger work force, or will the number stay the same, or be less, due to bet-ter training, efficient equipment, and improved shift scheduling?

The decision as to whether or not this project is funded hinges on how successfully PSBC communicates with the taxpayers in print and at Town Meeting in March 2011.

What justifies the fire station cost?

Town needs to come to its senses ––––———

Perhaps it takes a shod foot in the temple for me, and I hope figu-

ratively for the town, to come to our senses. As many in town may now know, I was physi-cally and verbally assaulted outside of my home a few days ago. [See story on page 3. -Ed.] It was a horrific few minutes for me, but thankfully I emerged with only multiple contusions including a “beautiful” shiner.

I want to commend the po-

lice department and the EMTs that came to my assistance that night. They were all most com-passionate, caring and profes-sional.

On subsequent visits to the police station due to this al-tercation, I am appalled at the conditions that these profes-sionals who look after our well being are expected to work un-der. I know that all department in town have their “fiefdoms” and want to direct town money

their way. However, it is very clear to me that the police de-partment should be on the top of our list at Town Meeting for much improved working con-ditions. From the exterior, the building fits right in to the Dux-bury landscape, but once inside it is clearly evident that the sta-tion is woefully inadequate and should be an embarrassment for our town.

Thanks for the recognition

To the Board of Se-lectmen and the town of Duxbury, Thank

you for the certificate of ap-preciation for the window work done at the Tarkiln Community Center. The efforts of preser-vation represent the work of many, and Duxbury is fortunate to have the dedication of Su-sanna Sheehan and the legion of volunteers who believed in this project.

Dumb idea: Making old into new

The town of Duxbury is about to vote on whether or not to

rebuild our middle school and high school. After a 350-page feasibility study by indepen-dent, professional, paid consul-tants, voted on and paid for by our town, the School Building Committee was formed. This group includes four engineers, two high-level construction professionals, an architect, a surveyor, the superintendent, two principals, and a member of the Board of Selectmen, Board of Conservation, and Finance Committee. For a person who may not have even entered these buildings to recommend reno-

vation and/or repair during the summer months is irresponsible. Simply put and after a great deal of work by the SBC: a

brand new co-joined school building, after state-guaranteed reimbursement of over 43 per-cent, is less costly than reno-vating the two schools over the next 8-10 years. Tax implica-tions are real and have not been entered into lightly by the SBC or the administration, but the time has come for Duxbury to address these two buildings and the recommendation is to rebuild, not renovate or repair. Join me in voting yes at Town Meeting on March 12, and the town election on March 26.

Questions for School Committee

I have two questions for the school administra-tion to which I would

like to have factual, unbiased answers:

1. By building replace-ment, are we covering up our own poor performance of rou-tine maintenance?

2. Apparently most of the vehicles parked in the school parking lots belong to the students. This would seem to have implications for our existing bussing system. Is moving the high school back to make a bigger parking area for students a further reason

to undergo what seems to be a terribly expensive program? This should be investigated and discussed, too.

I was taken aback when we passed one “Taj Mahal” (PAC) monument to a since departed superintendent. I don’t intend to be taken in again this time.

All taxpayers should at-tend this Town Meeting, or at least read/think about the let-ters written on pages 24 and 25 of the Feb.2, 2011 Clipper. I hope reason prevails.

As teachers and administrators responsible for curriculum at DMS and DHS, we know firsthand

how our 1960s era buildings impact science and technology learning. Duxbury students receive top-notch science knowledge, but they do not acquire the same laboratory and technology skills as students in numerous other districts with more modern facilities. When our students enter college, they are at a disadvantage, competing with students with superior skills.

According to the National Science Foundation, the prototypical high school science lab should be approximately 1,600 to 1,800 square feet to accommodate a combined, but separate, lab station area and discussion area. Our science classrooms are undersized at 1,100 square feet and, for most, the lab stations and discussion areas share the same space. In most DHS and DMS science classrooms, labs, including dissections, are completed at student desks.

Most of our classrooms have narrow lab counters that face the wall on three sides of the classroom. Students work on labs facing the walls and cannot see the teacher, and teachers cannot easily view students and monitor their work. With 24 students using Bunsen burners, hot plates, chemicals and other lab equipment, there are potential hazards. Lab stations should be bench types that have island, peninsula, or island cluster design to allow teachers to view all student activity and to allow students to move and observe freely and work in groups.

Our classrooms lack basic built-in equipment, such as fume hoods, storage and correctly designed safety showers. Some of our science classrooms do not even have hot

water. All science classrooms should come equipped with three to four fume hoods, so students can learn to work with hazardous chemicals prior to going to college. Due to electrical limitations, we cannot run more than five hot plates or five microscopes in a classroom without blowing a fuse. That means multiple groups must share equipment, further reducing the numbers of students that get their hands on the equipment.

I currently have a student who reports that because of our building deficiencies, her lab skills lag those of students from other districts that she’s worked with in summer programs. As a result, she feels she has a gap in her education that will impact her as she moves on to college.

Our students are also behind in the acquisition of technology skills, largely due to the limitations at DMS and DHS. Students cannot consistently access our school network as it is not capable of handling all the users. When students go to college, they are expected to be able to use computers to make presentations, work on group projects, create graphics, appropriately e-mail professors, enter lab data, and work in online environments. According to the NSF, each lab station in a science classroom should have a computer for student use as they are working on labs and projects.

Science classrooms suffer from the deficiencies of our general classrooms: a lack of electrical and wireless access, inoperable windows, leaky roofs, inadequate plumbing, worn floors and walls, poorly functioning heat and ventilation, outdated lighting systems. Renovation may help but it won’t solve the problems associated with the layout of the buildings and the lack of energy efficiency.

Our students get a good science education but when it comes to being college and career ready with 21st century lab and technology skills, they have a distinct disadvantage.

Scientifically speaking, high school labs needs improvement

Since 2002, Duxbury’s CPA surcharge has been matched with $7.4 million in State Trust Funds and $5 million in grants, donations, and gi�s in kind—leveraging our $9 million investment an additional $12.4 million. Total projects are valued at more than $20 million and this year it will cost the median household $182. A few of the projects are highlighted below.

Come to Town Meeting on March 12. Judge for yourself whether the CPA is worth keeping. Keep the CPA. Vote NO on Article 28.

CoMMenTary

Those who visit their alma mater years after gradua-

tion are struck with the mean-ing of the phrase “You can’t go home again.” Whether it’s public schools and the Massachusetts School Build-ing Authority process or in-dependent/parochial schools that raise funds privately, it is rare to find a school that has not extensively renovated, rebuilt or added to buildings on its campus. Back when I graduated high school in 1990, we got informa-tion from the encyclopedia, graphing calculators were unheard of, and nothing I owned was made in China.

Numerous world-changing events later, to-day’s economy depends on knowledge over physical labor. Education now de-mands radically different approaches that promote in-novation, problem solving and adaptability. Teachers create the best learning ex-periences when they have the ability to adjust not just content, process and product, but also environment. An ex-tensive body of research—notably by Cynthia Uline of San Diego State’s National Center for the 21st Century Schoolhouse—has confirmed a direct link between qual-ity of facilities and student achievement.

Safe, well-ventilated, bright, accessible, comfort-able and clean schools are obviously a priority. How-ever, stopping there is not enough. Today’s students

are the first to grow up in the digital world. Both the way we view information and how we relate to each other has changed. The traditional classroom as we knew it does not meet today’s educational needs.

Hybrid learning spaces allow small and large group work, individual study and student presentations in ad-dition to direct instruction. Flexible data cabling and wireless systems enable rich classroom activities integrat-ed with technology. With constant points of access to information and intentional design, spaces such as cor-ridors and cafeterias can be used for learning. Building a new co-located middle and high school on and behind the current DMS site meets our current needs, while provid-ing flexibility to meet future needs not yet realized. After years of Duxbury taxpay-ers diligently contributing to state funds earmarked for other communities, it is our turn to benefit from the MSBA grant program.

The community has an opportunity to invest in top quality educational fa-cilities for our children and grandchildren. The school committee, school building committee and community leaders have endorsed this plan and I implore Duxbury voters to do the same at Town Meeting on March 12 and Town Election on March 26.

Judgement free movieThe Duxbury Free Library and the SEPAC presents a movie

for everyone on Tuesday, Feb. 22. If you are looking for a vacation activity to keep the kids

busy, we are pleased to co-sponsor a “judgment free” inclusive opportunity for all to watch a movie in an inviting atmosphere.

The Library will provide an inviting setting to watch a movie with modifications made to provide a stress free experience for kids and families. If you would like to bring your own snack you are welcomed to do so. All children must be accompanied by an adult. Young adults or individuals with special needs should be accompanied by a chaperone for the best possible experience. This is a free event. Due to limited seating, online registration is required at duxburyfreelibrary.org.

Kindergarten registration

For all children who will be 5 years old on or before Sept. 1, 2011, registration for kinder-garten will be held at Chandler School on March 7-10. All age appropriate children are en-couraged to participate in the registration process regardless of plans for the next year.

Between Feb. 14-17, par-ents should come to the Canty Wing office (Ray Coppens Field entrance) from 9 a.m.-12 p.m. to schedule an appoint-ment and to pick up a registra-tion packet.

On March 16, at 7 p.m. in the Chandler cafeteria, kinder-garten orientation will be held.

April 5-8 will be for screening appointments. At the registration, parents will need to bring the child to the appointment to have his/her hearing screened by registered nurses; bring a certified (raised seal) birth certificate which will be copied and returned that day; and bring a copy of the child’s immunizations. A physical exam will also be re-quired before entering school in September.

Kindergarten Extended Day (KED) will be accepting 2011/12 applications during the week of kindergarten reg-istration. Interested families should stop by the KED table for information and forms. Please note that KED registra-tion cannot be confirmed until morning and afternoon kinder-garten assignments are deter-mined in late spring.

Preschool special needs screeningThe Duxbury Integrated Preschool will be conducting a

special needs screening for 3 and 4-year-old children on Tues-day, March 15. The screening will help to identify students who may require special education services.

Children will participate in developmentally appropriate activities designed to screen their speech and language skills, fine and gross motor control, and cognitive development.

Screening takes place at the Chandler School. (Use the Ray Coppens Field entrance and park in the designated visitor parking spaces.)

To schedule a time to have a child screened, call Bridget or Gail at 781-934-7672.

GROUP WORK: Tom Sawyer, a.k.a. Will Flederman, convinces Nick Morreale that it is a special treat to white wash the fence. Ms. Lewin brings literature alive when students perform scenes for each other.

Grade three students from Alden School recently toured Plimoth Plantation. This trip, organized by Mrs. Priscilla Nissi and partially funded by the Al-

den PTA, has become an integral part of the grade three social studies curriculum. The staff of Plimoth Plantation works with students to help them to understand life in 1627 Plimoth.

Students are taught to write with quill pens, split wood, saw wood, and bake bread. They are also taught to be archaeologists as they tour an unoccupied house to find clues about its residents and to use primary sources to determine the possible use of arti-facts that would be found in seventeenth century Plimoth.

MICKEY’S GUTS: Emily McDermott, Kate Chase, Mickey Mouse, and Cate Chase. 7th grade science just finished a study of the digestive system. Emily, Kate and Cate selected this well-known mouse to demonstrate their mastery of the unit.

The fourth grade students in Mrs. Ball’s, Mrs. Bateman’s, and Mrs. Dudley’s classes have been busy reading many stories using our new Kindles. These classrooms share two Kindles that were purchased with a generous grant from the PTA. Students use the Kindles both individually and in small groups. These Kindles have the benefit of “reading aloud” many of the stories. They also go home most nights for more reading enjoyment! Photo by Mrs. Emily Dudley

If you forgot flowers or candy on Valentine’s Day, there is still hope. I asked the staff at The

Studio gift shop at Hall’s Corner (in the Duxbury Marketplace) a couple of years ago, “What do you have to buy if you forget your valentine?”

They cried out with one voice, “jewelry!”

But flowers are more than a way

out of (or into) romantic trouble. This time of year, they can be a breath of springtime, just when you need to refresh your mettle enough to slog through to the day our local

groundhogs predicted for the end of winter. I’m old school about this. Punxsatawney Phil lives in Pennsylvania, after all, so I always go by local conditions. This year my backyard groundhog, if he had bothered to show his face, would have agreed with Phil. It was a miserable day. He wouldn’t have seen his shadow. This predicts an early spring.

Just as I thought. Squirrels were already dancing through my trees,

WHAT’S GOING ON HERE?

CUSTOM INTERIOR FINISHES

By HannaH riddle clipper contriButor

The Duxbury girls’ swim-ming and diving team placed second behind perennial pow-erhouse Gardner High School at the MIAA Central and South Sectional Champion-ships at MIT on Sunday. The Lady Dragons had twelve swimmers and two divers qualify for the Sectionals.

The girls started with a fourth-place finish in the 200 medley relay, as Shelby Rad-er, Ellie Johnson, Katie Ea-gan, and Hannah Hutchinson posted a season-low time of 1:56:32. Senior co-captain Sarah Goldberg followed with a third-place finish in the 200-yard freestyle (1:58:51), fol-lowed by freshman sister Jes-sie Goldberg (2:06:99), senior co-captain Emily Hutchinson (2:07:71), and junior Laura Husted (2:13:96.) Johnson had a personal best of 2:15:89 in the 200-yard IM to finish in seventh place.

Junior Avery Riddle and Rader tied for eighth place overall in the 50-yard free-style with a time of 26:11.

Freshman Hannah Hutchinson was close behind with a time of 26:56, followed by Laura Husted. Freshman ruled the 100-yard butterfly with Ea-gan finishing ninth in 1:03:18, followed by Michaela Mor-ris (1:05:31) and junior Abby Mullen with 1:06:11.

Duxbury had four swim-mers competing in the 100-yard freestyle, as Sarah Goldberg came in with a per-sonal-best time 54:22, good enough for a fourth-place finish. Riddle came in at a season-low of 57:84 and just out-touched Emily Hutchin-son (57:86). Eagan came in at 1:00:46. Freshman Jessie Goldberg came in at a 5:37:59 in the 500-yard freestyle, not only crushing her previous time, but placing 11th over-all. Abby Mullen also swam a personal best at 5:48:33 and was followed by junior Kassie Sweeney.

In the most exciting race of the night, Riddle, the Hutchin-sons and Sarah Goldberg fin-ished first in the 200-yard freestyle relay with a scorch-ing time of 1:43:04 (less than half a second off the meet re-cord.) Rader followed with a

sixth-place finish in the 100-yard backstroke (1:02:24), followed by freshman Olivia Zelvis and junior Krista Li-brett. Johnson had her second top-ten finish of the night in the 100-yard breaststroke with a time of 1:12:47.

In the last event of the night, Duxbury was just out touched at the wall in the 400-yard freestyle relay to finish in second place behind Gardner. Rader, Riddle, Emily Hutchin-son, and Sarah Goldberg had a season-low time of 3:44:34.

Duxbury girls diving fin-ished with a fifth-place finish by freshman Kelsey Golden and a sixth-place finish by ju-nior Sam Tougas.

Duxbury competes at the MIAA State Championships at Harvard on Sunday with a team of nine swimmers and two divers.

and I heard an amorous woodpecker a couple of days before. Woodpeckers don’t drum to find food. They drum to find a date. A neighborhood cardinal joined in to warm up his vocal calling card, a distinctive “sweet cheer” that he’ll elaborate as the days get longer. Coyotes in the neighborhood were really whooping it up at night, which I suspect predicts new batches of coyote pups in the near future.

The signs of spring are all there if you know where to look. Trees and bushes already have buds they’ll deploy in a matter of weeks. Grocery stores are offering spring bulbs all in bloom – jonquils and paper-whites and hyacinths.

I botched a visit to Duxbury Flowers and Art, at Hall’s Corner (also in the Duxbury Marketplace). I’ll follow up with a real visit and interview. Don’t worry – I picked up flowers at Foodies’. I’ve learned my jewelry lesson well. I wrote about the shop a few years ago, and it’s time again. For now, I’ll just say that everything looks as crisp and clear as it did before. I’m sure you can talk them into FTD-style bunches of color, but you can also rely on their artistic elegance.

I’m tracking another Duxbury floral connection. Tangent Floral and Garden Design has moved to Federal Furnace Road in Plymouth, but their roots are in Duxbury. Sisters Laura Flynn and Betsy Marks (both Stearns sisters) own the business. Check it out online at tangentdesign.cc to see their lovely Web site. This time of year, even the pictures are a welcome sight. They’re very clear that you need an appointment – it’s not a regular flower shop – but they can help with flowers for functions like weddings, parties, or holidays. They also design and coordinate the work for your own gardening, with anything from planters on the patio to a full-blown garden design.

Betsy is a certified landscape architect who trained at Cornell University. The difference between this and lawn care is similar to the difference between the Parthenon and a cardboard box. One may be cheaper, but it’s not the same thing. Their “go-to guys” for the heavy work are Dreamscape Landscaping, also on the Web (dreamscape.cc). Like Tangent, Dreamscape runs a rich selection of pictures on their site, enough to prove that summer is still possible.

It’s still a little early to start vegetables indoors, but if I can find some fresh basil, I’ll get a head start. Sprigs of fresh basil root if you look at them – just put them into a cup of water and stick them on a sunny window sill. When they root in a few days, put them in a pot with potting soil and keep them watered. They’ll make any room smell like spring, and when the real spring comes along, you can transplant them outdoors.

I’ve done the same with fresh ginger. Buy a chunk with likely-looking eyes on it, like a potato. Plant a piece with two or three eyes in a pot, and keep it moist. When the shoots appear, you’ll feel like an expert in exotic horticulture. It may not grow much of a root, but the plant is beautiful, like a tropic island sea breeze.

Dragons’ DenSports Editor Mike Halloran • [email protected]

Senior captain Pat Dono-van knew that winning a Sec-tional championship was a dis-tinct possibility coming into this season. However, that goal seemed to be in jeopardy after tweaking his knee last weekend at team sectionals in Marshfield. While Donovan was able to finish the match and beat his Sharon opponent when the injury occurred, the Duxbury senior was left with some concerns as to how it would hold up at individual D2 South Sectionals on Satur-day in North Attleboro.

Those concerns were put to rest after Donovan won the 140 lbs. championship with a 5-4 decision over his nemesis, and No. 1-seeded Colin Mc-Sweeney of Whitman-Hanson. McSweeney had beaten the Duxbury senior captain twice before, but Donovan wanted to put the past behind him when he took the mat in the 140 pound final.

After taking McSweeney down late in the first period, Donovan let him up for a one-point escape, giving the Dux-bury senior a 2-1 lead at the

end of one. To start the second period, Donovan deferred to the Whitman-Hanson junior, who chose the bottom posi-tion. Feeling he could beat McSweeney on his feet, Don-ovan again let him up to tie the match at 2-2. The strategy worked like a charm, as Dono-van earned another takedown before McSweeney escaped to cut the lead to 4-3 heading into the third period. Donovan started on bottom, and quickly escaped to extend his lead to 5-3. McSweeney went on the attack, targeting Donovan’s knee, but the Duxbury senior captain held his course, and despite being penalized for stalling, Donovan hung on to win a hard fought 5-4 deci-sion.

Also in the finals for Dux-bury was sophomore Nick Kates, who wrestled in the 103 lbs. championship against North Attleboro’s Cam Burns. Prior to the championship match, Kates easily handled Whitman-Hanson’s Colin Bain in the quarterfinals be-fore beating Sandwich sopho-more Kevin Wright with a 7-0 decision in the semi-finals. However, the win would prove

to be costly, as the Duxbury sophomore aggravated his shoulder injury. Determined to have his moment in the spotlight, Kates took the mat with the championship on the line. However, it was obvious when Burns took him down for the second time that Kates was in pain, and would have to default, settling for a second-place finish.

Three Dragon grapplers placed third, which in wres-tling vernacular is “the tough-est wrestler in the tourna-ment.” This is because the wrestler who finishes third has to fight his way back to the medal round, often times after an upset or earlier loss.

This was especially true for Duxbury sophomore Jake Genereux, who earned the top spot in a very competitive 130 lb. weight class heading into sectionals. After pinning Mil-ton’s Patrick Crowley in 20 seconds, Genereux faced off for the second time in as many weeks with Plymouth North junior captain Carlos Solo-man. Genereux clearly pinned Soloman from the takedown, but did not get the call from the referee. After mounting a

10-1 lead, it appeared that Ge-nereux was well on his way to the finals when Soloman chose an optional start in the third pe-riod, and caught Genereux in a gator roll, applied a grapevine hold with his legs, and pinned the No. 1 seed.

Showing mental toughness after a devastating loss, Ge-nereux went on to beat North Attleboro’s Ryan Charpentier, 8-2, and Marshfield’s Josh Fitzpatrick by the same score to take third.

Also battling back to the medal round was senior cap-tain Jamie Auer, who lost by pin to OA’s Erik Brugnoli in the 145 lb. quarterfinal. Auer went on to pin Sandwich’s Zach Foley, and then earned a 6-3 decision over North Attle-boro’s Rob Henrickson. With the bronze medal on the line, the Duxbury senior captain pinned Somerset’s Jim Mul-vey with 18 seconds left in the first period.

Senior captain Alec McK-enzie began his day with a pin of Whitman-Hanson’s Greg McGrath in the 189 lb. quar-terfinal before losing by pin to the No. 1-seeded Tommy Pomella of Marshfield. McK-enzie bounced right back from the loss with a pin of Milton’s Cyprian Leacock to again face McGrath for a third or fourth place finish. McKenzie made

quick work of the W-H under-classman once again, pinning him early in the second period to earn Duxbury’s third bronze medal of the tournament.

Junior Brendan Gillis also had an outstanding day for Duxbury, and showed resil-ience with his fourth-place fin-ish after getting pinned in the quarterfinals by Oliver Ames senior captain Max Jacobs. Gillis fought his way back by pinning Stoughton’s Spencer Dennis, and then posted a 10-2 major decision over Patriot League rival Alex Perry of Whitman-Hanson. That set up a rematch with Jacobs, and this time it was a nail-biter with the only point being scored in the third period when Gillis let Ja-cobs up from bottom, hoping for a takedown and the win. Unfortunately for the Duxbury junior, the OA senior captain held on for the win.

Also going to States as an alternate is Bobby Boyle, who had two wins in the 215 lb. weight class to finish in fifth place. Sophomore Owen Grey placed sixth at heavyweight with three wins (two by pin), including a thrilling 13-11 overtime win over Marsh-field’s Jeff Wallace.

The Division II individual states will be held at Marlbor-ough High School on Friday and Saturday.

By mike Halloran, sports editor [email protected]

There seems to be no stop-ping the girls’ hockey team after two more wins over Barnstable and Martha’ Vineyard moved their record to 14-1 with five games left to play.

A 4-2 win over Barnstable and an 8-1 crushing of the Vine-yarders has the Lady Dragons on course to be the No. 1 seed in the MIAA Division II Tour-nament should things stay nor-mal for the next two weeks.

Despite their outstand-ing record, the girls are still one win away from clinching the SEMGHL-South Division title, and that could happen on Wednesday night when the team travels to Sandwich to take on the Blue Knights who are 9-3-2- in the league and 10-4-2 overall.

Things looked comfy for the Lady Dragons when they built a 2-0 lead in the win over Barnstable, but the Red Raid-ers tied the game and put the pressure on Duxbury for one of the few times all year.

Obviously not liking the situation, Duxbury wasted lit-tle time in regaining the lead, as Lily Connolly scored seven seconds later for a 3-2 lead. Briana Connolly would add an empty-netter for her second of the game to seal the win.

Saturday night’s win over MV was a far more relaxing ex-perience, as the Lady Dragons had manhandled the Islanders,

7-0, in their first meeting two weeks ago.

Lily Connolly got Duxbury on the board just a minute into the game, as she scored from a scramble out in front, beating goaltender Tex Craig for a 1-0 lead.

League scoring leader Hannah Murphy added to her season total two minutes later when she broke in alone on Craig down the right wing and buried her shot into the top cor-ner of the net to make it 2-0.

It was quickly 3-0, 22 sec-onds later when junior forward Kelsey Powers fired a shot through a little opening in the top right corner.

The visitors settled down over the next 10 minutes and brought the Duxbury offense to a standstill, leaving the ice trailing 3-0.

The Lady Dragons got their offense back in gear in the second period, as Mur-phy erupted for two goals and freshman Jackie Nolan got her first of the year to make it 6-0 with 9:30 left in the middle pe-riod.

Sophomore defender Car-ly Campbell made it 7-0 at the 7:46 mark, while senior defen-seman Kayla Errasti scored her first goal of the year for Duxbury’s final goal.

With his team in winning mode for much of the season, is there anything Coach Friend Weiler can do to keep his squad sharp?

“We need to stay healthy, have to get better in our com-munication, and work on the little things. We have to fine tune things as we head for-ward,” said Weiler. “You worry about long layoffs, but we’ll try to put together some scrimmag-es before the playoffs start.”

The Duxbury boys’ hockey team was just two wins away from qualifying for post-sea-son play after Saturday’s 5-2 win over Scituate left them with a 6-5-6 record.

With five games left on the regular-season schedule, it would make it a lot easier for the Dragons if they could have wrapped it up with wins over Concord-Carlisle and Pem-broke this week, rather than facing the pressure of having

to beat some of the Division 1 powers during the Cape Cod Classic during school vaca-tion week.

Taking one game at a time was the object for Coach John Blake’s team and they did a good job of it Saturday at The Bog.

The Sailors came in at 9-4-1, so it wasn’t going to be an easy night for the Dragons, who fell behind less than three minutes into the contest when Scituate’s Michael Hassett fired a shot from the right side that eluded goaltender Derek Williams for a 1-0 lead.

Although the Sailors seemed to dominate the ac-tion early, the Dragons kept their feet moving and tied the game at the 9:58 mark when freshman Nick Marrocco was stationed perfectly by the post

and knocked home a pass from behind the net by Bobby O’Brien. Sophomore James Marcello was also credited with an assist.

After getting back in the game and ending the first pe-riod tied, the Dragons faced two shorthanded situations in the first half of the second pe-riod. But killing off the second one seemed to work to their advantage, as senior captain Bobby Barry took a pass out of the corner from fellow cap-tain Nick Buonvicino and beat goaltender Matt Gentile for a 2-1 lead with 6:16 showing on the clock.

The Sailors were deter-mined not to let this one slip away. Three minutes later the game was tied at 2-2 when Scituate’s Dan DelGrosso was behind the Duxbury defense

and picked off a clearing pass that led to the tying goal.

It didn’t take long for Scit-uate’s celebration to end, as 27 seconds later they found them-selves behind on a careless cross-ice pass that was picked off by Will Siefert, who found Evan Jackson heading for the net and hit him with a pass that put the Dragons back in front, 3-2, as the period came to a close.

Despite the one-goal lead, Duxbury was a mistake away from seeing a potential win go up in flames with nine min-utes to go. Fortunately the pressure disappeared when junior forward Tim Harrison burst through center ice after taking passes from Siefert and Jackson and beat Gentile for a 4-2 lead with 8:51 left in the game.

Harrison would score his second of the evening with 1:20 remaining to ice the win.

“I thought Scituate kind of controlled the first period, but we regained our composure and took over in the second and third. But I’m still not seeing a complete 45-minute effort that we are going to need,” said Blake. “It was nice to hang in there and pop a few. That was the most offense we’ve had all year. It’s not going to be easy getting those final two wins, but we’ll take it one game at a time because we realize where we are at.”

On Wednesday night the Dragons will continue their quest for a tournament berth when they take on Pembroke at Hobomock Arena at 6:10 p.m.

On behalf of the Board of Directors of Duxbury Youth Baseball, I’d like to thank you for your many years of sup-port. Our program now serves nearly 1,000 children between the ages of 5 and 18 with the simple mission of providing a fun and safe environment for the children of Duxbury to en-joy and learn the game of base-ball. Our goal as an organiza-tion is to enhance every child’s enjoyment of the game through personal instruction, group clinics and organized games so that baseball becomes a source

of lifetime enjoyment. DYB especially tries to promote baseball’s fundamental prin-ciples of sportsmanship, fair play and teamwork that can be used throughout life to become better citizens.

As an organization, we are constantly working to improve our program and our commu-nity. For example in 2010, DYB embarked on a number of ambitious projects, includ-ing:

DYB oversaw a fundrais-ing effort that led to $50,000 worth of improvements to Murphy Field at Chandler, in-cluding construction of dug-outs and bullpens as well as the installation of new protec-tive fencing and a new batting cage. Murphy Field, named for legendary DHS baseball coach David Murphy is now one of the South Shore’s pre-miere baseball facilities.

Sinnott Park was con-verted to a multiple use field by installing portable pitching mounds and basepaths that can be adjusted for “Little League” or “Pony League”-like dis-tances.

And the tradition will con-tinue in 2011 with numerous projects on the docket, includ-ing:

• Coaches clinics are be-ing expanded to provide more training in the areas of skill-building, running a practice and enhancing the game expe-

rience.• DYB is producing an in-

structional video as a resource for parents, players and coach-es.

• Summer programs are being expanded to provide a greater number of kids the opportunity to play baseball throughout the months of June and July.

• Infield surfaces at Train, Sinnott and Keene Fields will be refurbished with new clay and leveled to enhance the safety and durability of the fields.

• Dugouts at Murphy Field will be painted to acknowl-edge outstanding DHS base-ball teams of the past, includ-ing last year’s record-breaking varsity team.

Of course, no program of this magnitude can be suc-cessful without the support of many volunteers. Whether you are able to commit consid-erable time in helping to coach one of our teams or if you only have an hour or two to give, we need your help! Volunteer opportunities are available to fit all schedules so please sign-up for whatever commitment your schedule will allow.

Once again, thank you for your continued support of our program. We look forward to working with you to make this the most enjoyable season ever for your child.

Boys lose out on Patriot League title

By denise Buckley clipper contriButor

The Duxbury boys’ swim team had to settle for second place last week in the Patriot League Meet; a somewhat disappoint-ing finish after going 11-0 in their regular season. The Dragons were missing sophomore Ian Wilson, who was battling a stom-ach bug, and lost to Hingham by 40 points.

The meet started on a great note, with the team of Steven To-naszuck, Mike Connolly and the co-captain Su brothers touching the wall first in the 200-yard medley relay. Connolly (1:55.11) and Tonaszuck (2:06.46) would jump right back in for the 200-yard freestyle to finish first and third, respectively. Also swim-ming that event were Keelan Murphy (21st) and Drew Lawrence (25th). Not having time for a break, Tonaszuck (2:10.37) would cruise to second in the 200 IM, with Barry Su (fourth) and Noah Brayer (14th) behind.

The Dragons also grabbed two third-place finishes in each of the sprint freestyle events. In the 50-yard free, Ben Zelvis (25.23) would finish third ahead of Mason Crane (8th), Matt Griffin (9th) and Steven Kravitz (14th). Later in the 100 free, Arthur Su would battle for third with a time of 52:68. Finish-ing right behind were Josh Ng (ninth), Griffin (13th) and Kevin Coakley (24th).

Connolly would finish second with a time of 5:18.53 in his signature event: the 500-yard freestyle. Also contributing solid performances were; Murphy (ninth), Brayer (15th) and Tom Blanchard (16th). Zelvis would return in the 100-yard butterfly to take fourth place, just ahead of Ng (sixth) and Malcolm Edgar (10th). In the 200-yard freestyle relay, Zelvis and teammates; Griffin, Ng and Crane would finish in sixth.

The Su brothers, turning in solid performances in the 100-yard breaststroke, would finish in second and fourth with Arthur (1:07.31) touching the wall ahead of Barry (1:09.48). Kravitz (11th) and Edgar (13th) also contributed in the event. The 100-yard backstroke saw Crane (11th) and Coakley (15th) compete.

The Duxbury girls’ swim team headed to the South Sec-tionals and Division II States with two more dual meet wins and the Patriot League Cham-pionships in the bank. The Lady Dragons took the top spot in the league meet last week, overtaking their clos-est competition by over 100 points. Once again, after mak-ing up the two dual meets that had been postponed because of weather, the team finished with a perfect 11-0 record.

Duxbury set the tone early at the league meet by winning the first three events. The team of Shelby Rader, El-lie Johnson, Katie Eagan and Hannah Hutchinson got things started by placing first in the 200-yard medley relay, while Sarah Goldberg captured the first of her two wins in the 200-yard freestyle with a time of 2:03.27. Kassie Sweeney, Haley Chatlin and Meg Mur-ray took sixth, eleventh and twelfth. The senior co-cap-tain would also earn the top spot in the 500-yard freestyle (5:40.92). Also swimming that event were Abby Mullen (third), Olivia Zelvis (fifth) and Laura Husted (seventh).

Johnson also claimed two wins; the first in the 200-yard IM (2:22.36) and then again in the 100 breaststroke (1:15.30). Other solid performances in the

IM were by Mullen (second), Eagan (fourth) and Aly Wolffe (sixth). The 100 breaststroke also saw Jill Coghlan (third), Emily Nichols (seventh) and Wolffe (twelfth).

Junior Avery Riddle con-tinued her successful season, placing second in both of her individual events. In the 50-yard freestyle, she recorded a time of 26.83, just ahead of the three other Duxbury swim-mers; Rader (fourth), Hutchin-son (fifth) and Jessie Goldberg (seventh). Coming back in the 100 freestyle, she touched the wall in 59.56. Finishing behind her were Goldberg (fourth), Husted (eighth) and Hutchin-son (ninth). Riddle also com-peted on the first-place 200-yard freestyle relay team along with Emily and Hannah Hutchinson, and Sarah Gold-

berg. Senior co-captain Emily Hutchinson would later team up with Goldberg, Rader and Eagan for the teams third relay win: the 400-yard free.

Rader and Eagan would later place in other individual events. Eagan (1:05.82) would take third in the 100-yard fly, and taking fifth, seventh and 8th were Michaela Morris, Miranda VanDingstee and Alix Brady. In the 100-yard backstroke, Rader (1:04.36) touched the wall in second place. Also contributing in that event were; Krista Librett (fifth), Olivia Zelvis (eighth) and Elizabeth Buckley (elev-enth).

The Lady Dragons fin-ished their regular season last week with meets against Scituate(56-41), Cohasset(51-41) and Norwell (93-61).
