Land purchase leads CPC articlesBy Justin GraeBer, Clipper editor

After not spending all their funds last year, the Com-

munity Preservation Act has $3,950,500 to play with at this year’s Town Meeting –– and they plan on making a splash, buying a waterfront property off Crescent Street to give ac-cess to the public.

Community Preservation Committee Chairwoman Hol-ly Morris detailed her group’s proposed projects at the an-nual public hearing Wednes-day night in the Mural Room at Duxbury Town Hall.

Morris said that the ad-ditional tax surcharge for the Community Preservation Fund will generate $1,273,000 in fiscal year 2012, accord-

ing to Finance Director John Madden.

The Community Preser-vation Fund is a state pro-gram, funded by fees at the

Registry of Deeds, that will match money towns set aside for three community preser-vation purposes: historical preservation, open space and affordable housing. Duxbury adopted the act in 2001 and the maximum tax surcharge, 3 percent.

While the town enjoyed many years of 100 percent matching funds from the state, the last several years have not been as profitable. Last year, the match was only 30 per-cent –– down from 38 and 78 percent in prior years –– and Madden is going with a con-servative estimate of 28 per-cent this year.

Budget Breakdown

Money from town tax sur-charge: $1,273,000

Money set aside for administrative purposes: ($80,500)

anticipated state match: $340,000

undesignated fund bal-ance: 1,980,000

unused historical preser-vation money: $20,000

unused affordable housing money: $272,000

unused open space money: $146,000

total CPC funds for town Meeting: $3,950,500

restoration work on gravestones in Mayflower Cemetery (pic-tured) and Standish Cemetery is one of the proposed Community Preservation act projects this year.

Dunkin’ Donuts seeks to change awning colors By Justin GraeBer, Clipper editor [email protected]

Abby Austin, a freshman at Duxbury High School, has always wanted to get into act-ing. For her first role, however, she didn’t exactly pick a light subject matter.

Austin starred as Jaime Barnes in the film “Beneath Contempt,” which was made by an Emerson College direct-ing graduate student, Benja-min Brewer.

The film is about a young man, Sean Beckett, who re-

Awning anxietyBy Justin GraeBer, Clipper editor

[email protected]

Nearly 20 years ago, the arrival of Duxbury’s first chain fast-food restaurant caused a stir, as the Dunkin Donuts in Hall’s Corner met stiff opposi-tion from residents concerned about traffic, who would pa-tronize the shop (especially at night) and the impact on local businesses.

The coffee shop eventual-ly went in, but not until some concessions were made about

although the language of dunkin’ donuts’ original special permit restricts the color of their awnings to gray with white letters, the store’s owner has applied to the Zoning Board of appeals for the ability to change the awnings to brown with the traditional dunkin’ donuts orange and pink lettering. abby austin

Pilgrim nuclear plant shut down temporarily Monday

The Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station in Plymouth was temporarily shut down Monday night due to a leak, accord-ing to the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

The shutdown occurred around midnight on Feb. 20, ac-cording to a news item on the USNRC’s Web site. The event was not classified as an emergency and the event had no im-pact on the health or safety of the public, the release stated.

“With the plant operating at 100 percent power, leakage of Salt Service Water (SSW) was detected in the Reactor Building Closed Cooling Water (RBCCW) system due to high chloride levels and increased inventory in the system. An investigation into the event determined that the source of the SSW was isolated to the ‘B’ RBCCW system which is designed to cool RBCCW under normal and post accident conditions,” the release stated.

The leak led to a controlled shut down so repairs could be done.

Duxbury is in the evacuation zone for Pilgrim, which is located across Duxbury Bay in Plymouth.

How can you tell the dif-ference between bullying and just kidding around?

It’s not always easy, but on Wednesday, Feb. 9, Dux-bury High School freshmen and sophomores attended a presentation by Erika Newell of the Massachusetts Aggres-sion Reduction Center that clarified the difference.

“I liked how she intro-duced the difference between fighting (when the partici-pants are equal) and bully-ing (when one participant is dominant),” said Michaela Abbott. “All the time we hear ‘Don’t Bully!’ Well, what is bullying? She told us.”

During the presentation students looked at photo-graphs of several behaviors related to bullying. Newell also addressed the pitfalls of posting information online, citing several examples of lasting consequences includ-ing not getting into college or losing a job because of in-appropriate pictures or com-ments.

“It warned us about some dangers of the Internet that I think many people overlook,”

said Sarah Yanulis. “Once it’s on the Internet,

it will never get off,” added Robbie Finocchiaro.

One of the problems that Newell noted with Facebook accounts is the various ways that a user’s privacy can be circumvented either through information that the user posts or information that the user’s “friends” post. James Marcello said. “She made good points about applica-tions and how they can create a loophole in your ‘privacy’ settings.”

Advisory teachers fol-lowed up the presentation with a question and answer session on Thursday, linking cyberbullying terms to hypo-thetical situations.

Shannon Conway summed up the experience. “I thought the assembly helped to rein-force rules that are very im-portant for us to know.”

Mary doherty and Pat Buell demonstrate “fighting” in which the participants look each other in the eye and meet as equals.

the store’s look. Dunkin’s tra-ditional pink and orange colors were hidden inside the store, and more muted grey awnings hung outside with the compa-ny’s lettering.

The concessions were writ-ten into the zoning decision allowing the store to come to Duxbury. Now, the building’s owner is seeking to re-open the special permit and put up brown awnings as Dunkin’ Donuts undergoes a franchise-wide makeover.

In August of 1992, Leo Vercollone moved to renovate what had been an auto parts store and rent part of the store out.

The issue became a heated one not only because of con-cerns over parking, traffic and signage in Hall’s Corner, but also because the store marked Duxbury’s first chain restau-rant. At the time, the president of Dunkin Donuts lived in Duxbury (although he did not appear at any meetings or com-ment publicly on the store.)

The first Zoning Board of Appeals hearing on the subject was a show of force by those opposed to the project.

“Old Duxbury just is not ready for a large chain restau-rant to come in,” said Gregg Ladd in August of 1992. He later submitted a petition with

870 signatures opposing the store.

Yet at a subsequent hearing –– moved to Old Town Hall to accommodate the large crowd of more than 100 people –– the project’s proponents won the day.

“Duxbury has voted to have a business zone,” said now-Selectman Shawn Dahlen at a September 1992 hearing. “It is not our job to vote which businesses enter that zone or if there are too many shops selling coffee and donuts. Our only basis to rule is if it con-forms to the bylaws.”

In between the two 1992 hearings, the proposed signage changed, and Vercollone pro-posed changing the awnings from Dunkin Donuts’ tradi-tional pink and orange to grey with white lettering. In addi-tion to the signage, the store’s proposed hours were a topic of debate, and were changed from 11 p.m. to 10 p.m.

Dunkin’ Donuts has ap-plied for an amendment to the special permit to allow the cur-rent awnings to be rewrapped with the current Dunkin’ Do-nuts colors. There are a total of 17 awnings on the building, according to the permit ap-plication, and they will all be changed to brown. Five of the awnings would have the com-pany’s graphics.

The reason the special permit has to be opened and amended is that the original ZBA decision, issued in 1992, specifically limits the look and color of the awnings.

“The awning material will be solid, non-illuminating, dark grey and the awning edge lettering will be 12” high and transparent white in color,” reads the original decision.

Leo Vercollone, who owns the building, said the proposal is actually a toned-down ver-sion of the corporate resdesign Dunkin’s is currently undergo-ing. He pointed out that the in-terior has already been done.

“He [the owner] did ex-tra stuff to make the building more attractive,” Vercollone said.

He said he understands the public’s concern over appear-ances.

“I’m sure they’re sensitive to what goes in. Having lived in Duxbury since 1972, I’m sensitive too.”

He said many of the fears voiced when the building orig-inally went in turned out to be unfounded.

“The people of Duxbury really enjoy their product. It’s been a really successful loca-tion,” he said. “It’s worked out well. It’s been a good relation-ship.”

However, people involved with the original decision are disappointed that the company is seeking a change.

Jeanne Clark was the chairwoman of the Design Review Board that worked to control the buildings outward appearance.

“There was sort of a stand-off battle. We just held our ground and said no,” she said. “It was going to destroy the look of that building.”

She said local designers were involved with the grey and white look the building sports today.

“It’s really stunning. The grey with the white font was perfect for it. Everybody thought it was great,” she said.

Clark pointed out that the white letters does have Dunkin’ Donuts’ traditional font and lettering. She is con-cerned that allowing the color change would set a bad prec-edent.

“Once a decision is made It should be hard to overturn without a very good reason,” she said. “Corporate logos are not a very good reason.”

A representative from Viewpoint Sign and Awning, based out of Northboro, point-ed out that many of the exist-ing awnings are ripped and worn and are in need of re-placement.

The public hearing on the special permit amendment is set to come before the Zoning Board of Appeals on March 10.

HIStorICaL PerSPeCtIVe

From the 50th anniversary edition of the Clipper

Few zoning issues have cre-ated more controversy than Duxbury’s first fast food fran-chise. Many, including an organized citizens group were determined, it never would be “time to make the donuts” in Duxbury. Despite heavy challenge from over 100 citi-zens who crowded Old Town Hall for the ZBA hearing, Leo Vercollone’s petition to allow a Dunkin’ Donuts satellite store to open in his Hall’s Corner VERC building was approved with many conditions and concessions from Dunkin’ Donuts, including abandon-ment of the traditional colors to a muted gray and white let-tering and adoption of earlier closing hours. The franchise is a busy place and Duxbury has survived, although some complain that it has created much too much congestion on the Chestnut Street end of Hall’s Corner.

On Sunday, March 13 at 2 p.m., President, Dr. John Hagan will introduce the Manomet Center for Conservation Sciences’s mission and conservation initiatives. Kim Goggin, Garden Coordinator, will read journal entries written by the Ernst family, the original owners of the Widewater Estate. During the early 1900’s, the Widewater estate in Manomet, now headquar-ters for the Manomet Center, became an inviting retreat for a number of prominent, spirited men and women who were making important con-tributions to society. Dr. Harold Ernst, a Har-vard professor and physician, and his wife El-

len, a generous humanitarian, created a summer paradise on the bluffs of Manomet where many people gathered to enjoy the splendid outdoors. Holidays at the Ernst’s estate proved to be sig-nificant in forging lasting associations between people who shared an appreciation of the natu-ral world and a deep concern for the wellness of society. Discover how The Manomet Center for Conservation Sciences is continuing the Ernst legacy by joining communities together in con-versation about our environment and the well being of society today. For free tickets, call the library today at 781-934-2721 x108.

Last year, Pilgrim Church members participated in its Second Annual CROP Walk, sponsored by Church World Service, and raised over $5,000. Seventy-five percent of the money raised went di-rectly to Church World Ser-vice’s global efforts to com-bat hunger and poverty, while 25 percent of the proceeds benefited a local hunger re-lief organization, the Greater Plymouth Food Warehouse.

On Jan. 31, 2011, Pilgrim Church was presented a check to the staff and volunteers of the Greater Plymouth Food Warehouse.

The Greater Plymouth Food Warehouse strives to efficiently deliver nutritious food to low income residents of the South Shore, with coor-dinated food pick-up, storage of dry and perishable foods and distribution to South Shore food pantries and other emergency food assistance

programs. It also delivers food to local Councils on Ag-ing, including Duxbury, and area Head Starts.

Donations and support from businesses and schools, civic and religious organiza-tions are vital to the ongoing work of the Greater Plym-outh Food Warehouse to se-cure food for low income residents. Pilgrim Church is proud to be a part of this ef-fort to assist with hunger re-lief on the South Shore.

Members of the Pilgrim Church Board of outreach presented a check to the staff and volunteers of the greater Plymouth Food warehouse on Jan. 31.

It’s time for someone to see it from your Vantage Point.

By Justin GraeBer, Clipper editor [email protected]

The state has denied an appeal from the Clipper to force the town of Duxbury to release records relating to the departure of former police chief Mark DeLuca.

The records pertain to “sworn statements” taken around the time of DeLuca’s departure during a vicious contract dispute with the town. Town Manager Rich-ard MacDonald decided not to renew the chief’s contract when it expired in Nov. of 2009, and DeLuca’s support-ers tried to argue that the non-renewal constituted a firing, which could be overruled by the Board of Selectmen.

At the time, Selectman Christopher Donato said he learned that “statements were made under oath” regarding allegations against DeLuca. He said he was not privy to any of the specifics, howev-er at a later meeting he said some of the allegations may have dealt with overtime abuse. Donato did say, how-

ever, that as part of a finan-cial settlement those allega-tions “would disappear.” The settlement was later pulled off the table and DeLuca was appointed the police chief in Cohasset.

In 2009, the town de-nied a public records request from the Clipper seeking the records. However, in a Jan.

10, 2011 letter, MacDonald said that the statements were indeed public record, citing an earlier opinion by Town Counsel Robert Troy.

The Clipper asked for the records again, and filed an appeal with the state super-visor of public records when Duxbury did not respond within the 10 days required by the Massachusetts public records law. After that appeal was filed, MacDonald issued a denial, saying that although the records were public the State Ethics Committee was investigating the matter. That decision was reinforced by a Feb. 15 letter from State Su-pervisor of Public, Records Alan Cote, effectively clos-ing the appeal.

“In his response to your request, Mr. MacDonald ex-plained that the State Ethics Commission is conducting an investigation into the mat-ter involving Mr. DeLuca,” Cote wrote. “A custodian of records is permitted to with-hold records under the inves-tigatory exemption if the dis-closure would be harmful to investigative efforts.”

the town has denied efforts by the Clipper to seek the tran-scripts of sworn testimony given during the departure of former police chief Mark deLuca (pic-tured) in 2009. a Feb. 15 letter from the state supervisor of pub-lic records has upheld the town’s denial.

WHY IS NOW THE TIME TO BUY?EVEN IF PRICES BEGIN TO STABILIZE,

THE COST OF A PURCHASE IS RISING…


“More and more towns have adopted the CPA and as you know the economy has been weak,” said Morris. She said it was expected the match-ing percentage would decline over time as more towns opted into the act. The downturn in the economy, however, drove that number even lower.

“That just added a little more of a challenge to the matching process,” she said.

Because of the down econ-omy, the act has weathered citizens’ attempts to repeal it. There is another such article on the Town Meeting warrant this year.

Morris pointed out that for the $9 million in surcharge money they have spent over the last decade, they have re-ceived $7.4 million in match-ing funds and $5 million in grants and private donations.

“We’ve essentially lever-aged 9 million dollars from the surcharge with 12.4 million with state matching funds and other monies,” she said.

“It’s a sizable amount of money,” she added of what’s in the coffers for this year, pointing out it has to be used for preservation and couldn’t be put toward the school or public safety projects. “I think this committee has ... been very careful about how we spend our money.”

During the hearing, the committee heard details on seven projects. These will be on the Town Meeting warrant on March 12, in addition to housekeeping articles setting the Community Preservation Committee’s operating budget and allocating the state-man-dated 10 percent of funds for the act’s three purposes: his-toric preservation, open space and affordable housing.

This article will ask vot-ers for money to repair the Old Town Hall, which currently houses the selectmen and town manager’s offices.

“It’s kind of been kicked around ... and was not really paid that much attention to,” said DPW Director Peter Butt-kus.

He said that the front facade especially is in “dire need” of work. 100-plus years of paint will have to be stripped.

“It’s very extensive, labo-rious work,” Buttkus said.

Most of the work –– all exterior –– would be on the front, but the roof would also be restored and there would also be some window work, in addition to repointing the original granite foundation.

Buttkus said he couldn’t give an exact estimate on completion because the proj-ect hasn’t been bid.

“My goal would be to wrap it up before the cold weather hits in the fall,” he said.

The Keene Mill was lo-cated on the corner of Temple and Keene streets. It came into the town’s possession when Duxbury purchased 97 acres from Crossroads for Kids in 2008. The Conservation Com-mission is asking for $30,000 to patch up the foundation.

“It was one of the treasures in purchasing the Camp Wing property a few years ago,” said CPC member Pat Loring.

The building was an up-and-down saw mill that made boxes for a cranberry compa-ny. There are no photos of the mill intact, but a photo of the foundation with parts of the building crumbling around it was recently unearthed.

Last spring, volunteers from the open space commit-tee and Sustainable Duxbury, along with the Duxbury DPW, cleared the site. During that process, they discovered trees that will have to be removed and noticed granite blocks out of line.

“It really is quite beauti-ful,” said Loring.

On Sunday, March 6, two volunteers will be on the site from 12-2 p.m. to answer questions.

This project seeks to protect gravestones at the Standish Burial Ground on Chestnut Street and the May-flower Cemetery –– two of the oldest burial grounds in the country. (Standish is the oldest maintained cemetery in America.) The oldest head-stone at Standish reads 1697,

Mayflower’s oldest is 1787.“In time, these stones will

be lost through contamination and the poor use of metal cov-erings,” said Betsy Stevens. She said the metal frames one sometimes sees on older graves were part of an earlier restora-tion method, now known to do more harm than good.

“We believe this comes down to a community respon-sibility for maintaining the town-owned burial grounds to its fullest,” said Stevens. “We have an opportunity to preserve some of the most his-toric and beautiful objects in Duxbury. Let us seize the op-portunity.”

If approved, the money would go toward preserving 100 graves in Standish and 115 in Mayflower.

This article would see the town purchase a desirable five-acre oceanfront property at Howland’s Landing Road and Crescent Street. The land has roughly 390 feet of front-age on Kingston Bay, Morris said.

“It’s an extraordinary piece of land because it’s adjacent to a town landing,” said Morris.

The land is currently owned by the Massachusetts New Church Union. They were given the land in 1939 by Mary Blair for the purpose of setting up a camp for chil-dren.

As early as 1952, the town looked into expanding the ex-isting landing area but never moved forward, Morris said. In 1975, the town acquired the right of first refusal on the property, and in recent years the church has made it clear they’d like to sell the land to create an endowment for their church in Cambridge. The town and the church eventu-ally agreed on a $3 million purchase price for the land and buildings.

Morris said the town is

putting together a study com-mittee to “brainstorm” uses of the property.

“The intention of this land is to provide good access to the water for everyone in this community,” she said. “There are very few opportunities like this.”

She pointed out the pur-chase would meet a goal, out-lined in a 2008 open space and recreation plan, to increase recreational opportunities for residents with minimal impact to the environment.

Some of the money for the purchase will come from short term borrowing, but Mor-ris stressed it would be paid off within a year from CPC funds.

“It will not be coming from the general fund of the town,” she said.

The other land purchase article on the Town Meeting warrant is for 29 acres of what will be conservation land off Summer Street, adjacent to the Lansing Bennett Forest.

The Community Preserva-tion Committee has had their eye on this parcel for several years. It was supposed to be on the warrant for last year’s town meeting, but the owner and the town couldn’t agree on a price.

The land contains two ponds that total five acres. Committee members say the acquisition gives residents a way to access the forest off Summer Street.

“It’s very much a conser-vation parcel,” said Loring. “We’ve looked forward to ac-quiring it.”

This article seeks funds to purchase better document stor-age equipment for the Town Clerk to use in her vault at Town Hall. Town Clerk Nancy Oates had originally asked for $19,359 to purchase special-ized storage units, often used in museums as well as town clerks’ offices.

Members of the Commu-nity Preservation Committee asked to have the vault ana-lyzed to see if it was suitable for storing archival material. A consultant said that further testing would be needed, but recommended the use of a dehumidifier in the vault, and said to cover the fluorescent lights.

Oates then lowered her re-quest to $9,050 to buy some specialized shelves to get some of the town’s important documents off the ground.

The final Community Preservation Act on the Town Meeting warrant is to replen-ish the fund for the homeown-ers’ assistance program. (See below.)

the first Community Preservation act project on the town Meeting warrant is for restoration work on old town Hall, which currently houses the town manager and selectmen’s offices.

dPw director Peter Buttkus said the town has wanted to clean up the keene Mill site for years, but they didn’t own the land until the town bought it from Crossroads for kids (it’s near Camp wing).

TUFANKJIAN

A Tufankjian Family Dealership

turns home after four years spent in a Massachusetts pris-on for accidentally killing his friends in a car accident, ac-cording to the Internet Mov-ie Database synopsis. The movie was sponsored in part by Mothers Against Drunk Driving.

“It’s about the effect on the town and how the families who had kids killed feel about it,” Austin said. “It is dark.”

Austin plays Jaime Barnes, the younger sister of one of the kids killed in the car crash. The tragedy has had a devastating effect on her character and her family.

“My entire family is messed up, I don’t have a dad and I’m living with my mom,” said Austin. “I’m sad and I don’t really know how to express my emotion.”

Austin always wanted to act, and has taken some class-es in Boston at Boston Cast-ing and CP Casting. She has been on a mailing list for Em-erson since fifth grade, which is how she got the call for the casting of Barnes.

“I love just putting my-self into the perspective of another person,” she said. “It makes you feel like an en-tirely different person, which is cool. I like working with other people.”

She had a connection with Brewer before the film, in fact. She was in a music video also directed by him.

She’s auditioned for roles at Duxbury High School, but hasn’t been able to crack a cast list yet (she’s hoping to land a role in the spring play.)

Austin said Brewer’s skill at directing made it easier for her to handle the tough sub-ject material.

“The director made it easy to be really natural,” she said.

She said she prefers the more dramatic roles.

“I like to audition for more serious roles. You can show a more different range of emotion,” she said. “I like to watch comedy, but I like to act drama”

The film isn’t just a col-lege project. It was shown at the annual Slamdance Film Festival – an event estab-

lished in 1995 that runs par-allel to the more well-known Sundance Film Festival in the same town.

“It’s a bit smaller, they show more independent films,” Austin said.

Austin actually went out to Park City, Utah to see the world premiere of “Beneath Contempt” as well as some of the movies from Sundance.

“I love watching movies, so it was pretty cool,” she said.

Although she had seen herself on screen at the Emer-son thesis presentation, being in a crowded theater crunch-ing popcorn while her movie played was an altogether dif-ferent experience.

“To be at a theater where there’s people I didn’t know – it was packed, it was so excit-ing,” she said. “I’m up on the screen there’s people watch-ing me!”

The atmosphere of Sun-dance/Slamdance was also exciting, outside of the dark-ened movie theater. The fes-tival is great for celebrity-watching –– and Austin said

people often look twice to make sure they aren’t missing a famous face.

“Everybody looks you straight in the eye to see if you’re someone,” she said.

While the film isn’t set for a wide distribution, she said the director was in talks with some groups after the festival.

Making “Beneath Con-tempt” was an experience for Austin not only as an actor, but as a teen wrestling with the subject matter of drink-ing and driving and its conse-quences.

“I think I did learn from it,” she said. “It’s not some-thing I really thought of be-fore. Even if it doesn’t im-pact you it affects the people around you ... I don’t think I’ll drink before I’m 21.”

austin says her character was traumatized by the movie’s central car crash. “My entire family is messed up,” she said.

dHS Freshman abby austin recently starred in the film “Beneath Contempt,” shown at the Slamdance Festival, an indie-focused fes-tival that runs parallel to Sundance.

It is that time of year, when residents nomi-nate our favorite vol-

unteer to be recognized at the Duxbury Community Volun-teer Awards.

Volunteers, as Town Manager Richard MacDon-ald is fond of saying, are an essential part of the fabric of Duxbury. They may operate behind the scenes for 364 days a year, but on one night they take center stage during a dinner and ceremony at the Village at Duxbury.

The Duxbury Com-munity Volunteer Award is sponsored by Welch Health-care and Retirement Group. Through this award, the Dux-bury business community celebrates the spirit of civic responsibility through com-munity service. Event orga-nizers say they are pleased in recent years to see the nomi-nees expand from mostly

town government people to volunteers from all walks of Duxbury life.

Last year’s winners were Patricia and Tom Guil-foile, who were honored for their work on a range of is-sues around town, including youth baseball, the Appala-chian Service Project, Buddy Ball, the Newcomers’ Club and Duxbury High School

Sports Boosters. The previ-ous year, the advisory board couldn’t pick one person and handed out multiple awards. (All nominees are honored each year during a ceremony at the Village at Duxbury.) Nomination forms are avail-able at the Duxbury Free Library, The Village at Dux-bury, Westwinds and the Se-nior Center. Forms are also available on the Clipper web-site. Can’t find a form? Just send a statement including your contact information, the contact information of your nominee (phone numbers and addresses are important) plus in 150 words or less tell us the impact your nominee has made on others, their contributions to the com-munity, and the lasting ef-fect of your volunteer’s con-tribution of time and talent. An advisory board made up of representatives from all different aspects of the community will review the nominations. The awards dinner will be held at The Village at Duxbury in April. Nomination forms are due March 3 and must be sent to Duxbury Community Volun-teer Award, c/o The Village at Duxbury, 290 Kingstown Way, Duxbury, MA 02332 or faxed to 781-582-2274. Any questions, please call Maureen Crowley at 781-585-2334 x 112 or [email protected].

speCial to the Clipper

Duxbury resident Lind-sey Robbins, a junior biol-ogy major, was one of 10 Canisius College students who made a 14-day trip to Tanzania, in East Africa, to follow in the footsteps of Jane Goodall with Michael Noonan, PhD, professor of animal behavior and direc-tor of the animal behavior, ecology and conservation program at the college.

The group observed chimpanzees and other for-est wildlife in the Mahale Mountains National Park and Gombe National Park. Both parks house chimpan-zee research stations, which have been instrumental to many landmark studies of chimpanzees, including studies by Goodall.

“I have always wanted to go to Africa, and now that I have, I am dying to go

back again!” said Robbins. “I was able to walk in the shoes of Jane Goodall and watch the chimpanzees of Gombe as well as Mahale. I was given the opportunity to see fantastic things; I was even able to interact with a village close to Gombe. I traveled in Selous Game Reserve and observed the wildlife. This trip was such an eye opening experience for me.”

The Board of Select-men voted to support an article seeking

$2.9 million in design funds for a new school building. The project’s estimated total cost is about $130 million.

To justify this project, school official made comments such as “leaks and flooding,” “custodians sleeping over to prevent boilers’ dying,” “stu-dents have to be housed in trailers for three years during renovation,” “buildings are failing,” and “it would cost $68.2 million to repair the ba-sic services.” These statements are not only inappropriate, they are fictitious.

After checking the town re-cords on the two schools to be replaced, visiting and inspect-ing the buildings and their equipment, I found the facts to be as follows:

• The buildings are safe, clean, well maintained and are in very good condition.

• The buildings are not and should not get flooded because they are supported on slabs over grade. They do not have

basements.• Asphalt roofs are in good

condition and well maintained. The high school roof did not have any leaks. The middle school roof’s one time leak was promptly repaired. There is no need to replace the roofs.

• The high school has two top of the line “Cleaver Brook” gas fired boilers that are in very good condition and well maintained. According to Town records, a permit to in-stall two boilers was issued to the school in 2002. According to the school’s recollection, the boilers were installed in 1994, which makes them 17 years old. A well-maintained commercial boiler lasts about 40 years. Gas fired boilers last longer due to less wear and tear. Accepting the school’s data, these boilers have another 23-25 years of service life. There is no need to replace them.

• The middle school in-stalled two gas fired boilers in 1997-98. They are 13 years old, well maintained and in good working condition. These boil-ers have another 25-27 years of

service life. There is no need to replace them.

• In 2010 the high school, and in 2001 and 2009 the mid-dle school, installed hot water heaters which are in very good condition. There is no need to replace them.

• Both schools have cen-tralized digital control systems which run the HVAC year round, efficiently and economi-cally. An alarm would go off in case of any problem. There is no need for the custodians to sleep over at any school.

• Renovation work, such as updating the electrical system, can be done during the sum-mer months without interrupt-ing the academic year. There is no need for trailers to house the students.

When examined objective-ly, the school officials’ estimate of $68.2 for repairs would dis-appear.

We can improve and update the existing building by reno-vating, at a fraction of the $130 million.

Bay Farm is a won-derful recreational resource owned in

parts by Duxbury, Kingston and the State. By agreement, it has been set aside for conservation and passive recreation. Present uses include dog walking, bird watching, hiking, picnicking, photography, cross country ski-ing and fishing. The open field, owned by Duxbury, is heavily used in all seasons.

It is especially appealing in the spring and summer when the wildflowers bloom and the birds and other wildlife are ac-tive. Now there is a proposal be-fore Town Meeting that would

authorize leasing the open field for farming hay and perhaps other crops. We use that field every day. We are concerned that this proposal would change it greatly and restrict or inhibit the current activities. How will the field be prepared? Will the pools remain? What pesticides and other chemicals might be used? What will be the impact on wildlife? We have heard that the existing trails would stay. But people (and dogs) don’t just use the trails, they use and enjoy the entire field.

We have heard that this proposal would benefit a lo-cal farmer or farmers (possibly

not from Duxbury). But while that may be a laudable purpose, does it justify co-opting a well-used public open space? We have heard that the town would be saved the bother of mow-ing the field. But that seems a small price to pay for maintain-ing this valuable recreational resource. We are not in favor of this proposal. At the very least, it is moving forward too quickly and without answers to important questions.

‘Good placement’ is a

lot of bunkA few weeks ago, there was a push for parents

supportive of the new school project to show up en mass to the Board of Selectmen meeting. The idea

was to lobby the selectmen to give a “good placement” to the article which would set the funding wheels in motion for a new co-located middle school and high school building. By “good placement,” advocates meant “early enough so I can leave and not sit through the rest of the meeting.” It was an embarrassing display, and it’s particularly sad that a group dedicated to education would take such a lackadaisical attitude toward the most important governmental body in Duxbury.

Education is one of the most important things a community does. And the School Building Committee and project advocates have done a good job making their case that the new buildings are needed, and that the project before voters is the most cost-effective way of getting new schools. But when people put such an importance on where the article is placed on the warrant, they’re basically broadcasting the fact that they’re gone as soon as their pet project passes. That’s not fair to the other town departments who work just as hard as the schools, and it’s not fair to the other taxpayers in town who will stay all day Saturday (and maybe Monday and Tuesday) to do Duxbury’s business.

There was a bad experience a couple years ago when special interest parents packed the Town Meeting hall to advocate for the pool renovations. Once they got what they wanted, they left in droves, without staying to see how their choice would affect other town budgets and services. Perhaps if they had stayed and listened to the pitch for new police and fire facilities, those projects would have passed at the ballot box (they did pass on Town Meeting floor) and we wouldn’t be in the predicament we are today.

If the parents advocating for the school project really care about education, they should bring their high school and middle school age kids to Town Meeting. Let them sit through the budget articles, let them learn about Robert’s Rules of Order, line item transfers and revolving funds. The good news is that even with its “good placement,” the school project presentation will still be after the police and fire departments make their pitch. Those who believe new school facilities are the town’s top priorities will have to sit through the gruesome slide show of the problems at the police station. And if at the end of the day, people still feel the need for new school buildings outweighs the pain of the tax increase, then by all means vote for it. We promise it will be an educational experience.

I would like to report that the bids for the Fire Sta-tion renovation project

were opened on Feb. 17, 2011 and the results were better than the Public Safety Building Com-mittee expected. The low bid for the project was $2,889,021 which was $190,316 (6.2 per-cent) less than the $3,079,337 we initially budgeted for.

Based on the bid results and other adjustments, the commit-tee revised the proposed total project budget to $3,697,064 which will be requested at Town Meeting and subject to a Debt Exclusion override vote.

I would like to clear up some misconceptions regard-ing construction costs. In last week’s Clipper, Mr. Oktay stat-ed that the cost per square foot of construction would be $503 which he felt was too high com-pared to an industry standard of $200/square foot for a two story brick-faced building. The $200/sq. ft. referred to is for “con-struction” and does not include “soft costs” for things such as contingencies; architectural, in-spection, legal and engineering fees; temporary living quarters; specialized technology, securi-ty and communications equip-ment; and furniture. Nor does the $200/sq. ft. cost take into account the effects of mandated public bidding requirements (prevailing wages and filed sub-bids) which typically add 20-25 percent to the cost of a project compared to the private sector.

The largest part of the proj-ect is the replacement of the ex-isting crew quarters wing with a new 7,860 sq. ft. wing that will contain space for administra-tion, crew quarters, operations,

maintenance and a three-bay garage for apparatus storage. However, the project also in-cludes a significant amount of work outside the new wing in-cluding new heating, lighting and structural modifications to the existing apparatus bay, a new roof and painting of the entire building, temporary liv-ing trailers for the fire fighters during construction, and new communications, technology and security systems through-out the building.

Based on the bid results, the “cost of construction” is $2,829,021 (construction bid less approximately $60,000 for temporary crew quarters). If you divide the cost of construc-tion by only the 7,860 sq. ft. new wing, the cost is $360sq. ft. However if you factor into the calculation half of the area of the 5,000 sq. ft. apparatus bay to account for the cost of work outside the new wing, the cost drops to $273/sq. ft.. Given that this is not just a run-of-the-mill two-story brick building, we feel the proposed cost is very reasonable.

The committee has worked hard over the last year to lower the total cost of the project. We believe that, as the economy strengthens, construction labor and material costs as well as interest rates for borrowing will only increase making the same project more expensive. Now is the time to undertake this criti-cal project.

Misconceptions on fire project

The annual Duxbury Town Meeting and town election will

soon be upon us. I urge every eligible person to attend, partic-ipate and vote. If you’re not reg-istered, there’s still time. If you can’t be there get an absentee ballot. There are too many im-portant issues to be addressed that will have a great impact on the town, its residents and their ability to meet future needs and events.

Many tout the Town Meet-

ing as the last vestige of Amer-ica’s true democratic process. Sadly however, many special interest groups have made a mockery of this democratic process. Some of them have chosen to arrive in hordes only to depart once their issue has been considered.

Some have even mustered alert systems to notify their supporters “that time is near and to hurry on down.” Then, they too, depart after the vote. Unless this undemocratic pro-

cedure of stacking stops, the town of Duxbury will have to consider other methods to re-store honesty and integrity to its governmental process.

Let us hope that this year’s events will occur with honest consideration and debate. That the outcome will be a true rep-resentation of the wants and needs of the community and will provide the ability to pay for it all.

Police station situation is unimaginable ———

Imagine: A town police station that is the least safe public structure in

the community. A police sta-tion so wanting in proper stor-age space that a rare rape case was compromised because ter-mites got at the evidence that had to be stored in the base-ment. A station built 44 years ago for one-sixth of its current employees and with no facili-ties for women employees.

A police station that just recently got its first fire alarm to help save employees, but is lacking sprinklers that might save some of the records, evi-dence and equipment kept in the matchbox they work in. A police station known for the fights officers have had in the parking lot with suspects who, while being walked into the station, became roused to flee by the open space and the lack of a so-called sallyport for se-cure admission.

A police station where the only expansion, a second floor, was constructed on the cheap by a member of the force who hap-

pened to be pretty handy. Not exactly a professional building to code. A police station with a tiny interview room on the second floor, where suspects and victims are interviewed, in-cluding recently a badly beaten 70-year-old woman of Dux-bury who, like all others, had to schlep up a steep, narrow stair-case to provide her evidence.

A police station where the force prosecutor and the chief records keeper have to share a phone, literally passing it from one desk to another. (Although it is an easy handoff as the desks are crammed close together.) A police station that leaks all over the place and the vagaries of the heating system on any given day might mean officers have to wear their winter coats and/or crank up one of the electric heaters. A police station where the only room of any size is on the second floor and turns into a sauna during summer. A police station where critical records, stored in every nook available, are in jeopardy every day. A police station so desperate for

space that it got in trouble with the town fire department for cluttering up an attic. A police station built far before days of the information superhighway, with a computer system that looks as if Rube Goldberg de-signed it.

I was skeptical of the new station request, and paid a visit to that open house with two other skeptics. We are not skep-tical any longer. The Duxbury police are simply in need of the basics to conduct their busi-ness. And they have whittled down the original $9.8 million proposal to $6.4 million. Just the very basics.

The town will even come out ahead on the land portion of the deal, as the new police station will be built on town-owned land and the current site will be sold. The Duxbury po-lice station is far more than an embarrassment; it is unsafe and an obstruction to proper com-munity policing.

An alternative to alternative

energyIn a recent Clipper article the prospect of putting a

municipal wind turbine on town land was discussed. The project, steered by the Alternative Energy

Committee, would seek to offset the energy consumption of municipal facilities by putting wind-generated energy back into the grid. While the intent of this project is admirable, the town has more immediate opportunities to put a dent in energy consumption. Specifically, Duxbury should take a leadership role and incorporate advanced efficiency and conservation measures into the construction plans for the new school building.

The initial feasibility study of wind power in Duxbury, which was published in October 2009, identified the town as having a Class 2 wind resource. This level of wind resource is essentially the lowest level at which a wind project can be considered. This

is such a low level of power potential that the feasibility study reports it would result in a “marginally economic project.” The wind turbines being considered would not come close to their maximum rated power output at the wind speeds present in Duxbury. The town could expect any installed wind turbines to operate at only 13 to 29 percent of maximum rated capacity.

At present, the School Building Committee has elected to follow the “model school” path from the Massachusetts School Building Authority. This method will use design plans for existing schools and adapt them to the building Duxbury will construct. While this method of replacing the aging schools has the potential to minimize costs, it does not guarantee the inclusion of even moderately ambitious sustainability measures that have definite and immediate returns on investment. I would challenge the town to incorporate elements of the MSBA’s Green Schools Program into the final plans for our new schools to provide additional long-term benefits.

The Green Schools Program includes measures aimed at improving energy efficiency, minimizing water use, maximizing natural light, ensuring high indoor air quality and other green design elements. Such design features allow a school building to be more efficient and provide a vastly improved learning environment for students and faculty. While these design components can have a slightly higher initial cost, they provide immediate returns in reduced energy and water costs that continue for the lifetime of the building. In contrast, the monetary returns from wind energy are much less reliable and pay out over a longer time period.

The construction of a wind turbine is a visible and trendy action to improve Duxbury’s environmental impact and I believe that renewable energy will be a key component of our future. However, alternative energy projects such as municipal wind turbines should only be considered after the town has done everything possible to make its current and future facilities as efficient as possible. Building a wind turbine is simply not the most effective use of scarce fiscal resources when there is an immediate opportunity to incorporate efficiency measures into the new schools. I challenge the town’s School Building Committee and Alternative Energy Committee to work together to develop efficiency components for the final school design before moving on to renewable energy projects.

FROM THE ARCHIVES

With all the nega-tive letters against the re-

building of the high school and middle school I felt it neces-sary to write. I am a parent of a second grader, and although she will not be going into the middle school any time soon I am concerned and horrified at the physical conditions of the buildings. We expect high stan-dards of our students, but then subject them daily to a substan-dard environment that is not conducive for learning.

The facilities are worse than any inner city school in Boston and as a town, we should be ashamed of ourselves for al-lowing them to fall into such an irreparable state. Renova-tion is no longer an option! You would not expect a band aid to save the life of a hemorrhaging

person nor can you expect new windows, an upgraded heating system, and a new roof to save an archaic antiquated building.

The schools were built in 1960’s with little regular maintenance. No matter what option is decided money must be spent, but why throw funds away. Let’s be dollar wise not penny foolish. The state is willing to reimburse the town for money spent for rebuild-ing. This opportunity will not be around indefinitely. We must decide quickly for a new school, because there are other towns waiting to accept and use the funds immediately. If there is any question in your mind that these fact are fabricated please feel free to attend one of the many informational ses-sions that are available in town. Then decide for yourself.

Remember, if the physical structure of the schools fails to meet appropriate standards when they are accredited in the next few years, the town risks losing accreditation and our children will not be allowed to attend college if they graduate from a school that is not ac-credited. Duxbury is a beau-tiful community and we are lucky to be able to enjoy such a wonderful beach, but my fam-ily and I did not come here for that. We bought a house in this town because of the schools. A quality education was the de-ciding factor. Please make your voice heard, and go to and vote at the Town Meeting on March 12 and at the polls on March 26. We owe it to our children in this town!

‘Horrified’ at condition of buildings —————

I have been a teacher in Duxbury for the past 31 years, most all of which

have been spent at Duxbury Middle School. I will probably be retired and see all my chil-dren graduate before the new school is built, but, I still firmly support the construction of both a new school and police station. To deny that the current build-ings are woefully deficient is ri-diculous. Furthermore, to sug-gest quick repairs to make the buildings “useable” is absurd. For instance, no one wants to pay to have a failed septic sys-tem replaced, but when it goes, putting off its replacement with frequent pump outs only pro-longs the problem and costs more in the end.

The Massachusetts School Building Authority has invited Duxbury into the model school program, a program that will

help us keep costs down and reimbursements up. There is an open and conscious effort by the Duxbury Public Schools Building Committee to design and construct a school build-ing that will enhance the aca-demic experience of our stu-dents while remaining fiscally responsible. This is not by any stretch another Newton North.

We should strike while the iron is hot. Every year we wait, the costs of construction increases significantly and the evaporation of available state funds becomes a real possi-bility. A quick look at all our neighboring towns; Kingston, Pembroke, Plymouth, Marsh-field, Hanover, Hingham etc. will find that they have all re-cently built or will build new schools. The new Whitman-Hanson High School has re-ceived accolades from across

the state and is an example of a model school. The school of-fers its students every academic advantage that a building can provide, which are the same advantages our students should have access to in preparing for the needs of the 21st century.

Duxbury is a beautiful town, but it is not a retirement community. The town consists of mostly large multi bedroom homes. A strong school sys-tem with a model school will do more to attract home buy-ers and enhance property val-ues than any other investment you can make. Please join me in supporting our schools, stu-dents and community, and vote in favor of a new school build-ing and police station.

Interfaith council grateful for the support ——

On behalf of the Duxbury Interfaith Council, I extend

our thanks to the Friends of Duxbury Council On Aging for your fabulous support to warm and light up the homes of ap-proximately 100 families in our town. Your efforts through the Black Tie Bingo event to raise $13,793.23 were just an incred-ible feat! Never has there been a fund raiser for the Council that has raised so much money.

It takes a village to care for its people and in Duxbury

we rely on groups like you and many individuals and families to help support our mission of helping those in need. Al-though we cannot solve major economic problems, we can buy a tank of oil or pay an electric bill to help relieve the financial pressures on our recipients.

After our IRS obligations, 100 percent of the money do-nated to the Duxbury Interfaith Council goes back to folks in our community. Our work is done by dozens of fabulous volunteers who donate hours of

time and energy raising money, fielding outreach requests, and sorting and assembling food, gifts and baskets. It takes ap-proximately $60,000 a year to fund our programs and you folks have taken a lot of the stress away for us in accom-plishing that goal for this year. You have put smiles on the faces of over 100 families in need.

Jasmine fragrance fills the air. The little shop is a garden from “A Thousand and One

Nights.” Dianne Bell, as usual, was working on a flower arrangement. We were passing night-ships on the day before Valentine’s, possibly her busiest day of the year, but we connected later in the week.

“These days, the ‘art’ is mostly in

my arrangements,” she explained. She still has a few small prints by local artists, but Duxbury Flowers and Art in the Duxbury Marketplace near Hall’s Corner is mostly flowers these days.

“But artists are always welcome. Come in and paint my flowers any time,” she added. “In fact, anyone can just drop in whenever they want.”

Dianne explained that the economy is slow for artists. Top-quality painters are holding their works until things improve and people have more discretionary funds.

She showed me around the shop, a cozy place on two levels, with the large materials for arrangements down

CUSTOM INTERIOR FINISHES

By mike Halloran, sports editor [email protected]

Senior Jonathan McKin-ley ran a personal-best time of 4:22.17 in the mile, less than two seconds behind winner Wesley Gallagher of Pem-broke, to take third place in Saturday’s MIAA Division III State Meet at the Reggie Lew-is Center in Boston.

McKinley’s performance earned him a spot in this week-end’s All-State Meet that will crown the Massachusetts state champion in the mile.

Senior Emily Doyle was equally impressive in the 300 meters, as she ran a blistering 41.43 to take second place be-hind Becky Stoyle (40.68) of Pembroke and earned a spot in next week’s state champion-ships.

Doyle had plenty left in her tank, as she teamed up with Julia and Laura Nee, and Liz Runci in the 4x400 relay to

finish second in a DHS record time of 4:01.30 that is also the third fastest time in Massachu-setts this year.

The quartet will now ad-vance to the States next Satur-day at Reggie Lewis.

The Dragons had several other good performances as well, with Greg Bray finish-ing sixth in the 1000-meters (2:38.39), Jason Angell taking 15th in the 2-mile (10:08.03), and Denis Maguire placing 17th in the 55-meter hurdles (8.42).

On the girls’ side, Julia Nee finished ninth in the 300-me-ters in 42.65, sister Laura ran a 1:43.82 in the 600-meters for 14th, and Lauren Bittrich ran a personal-best time of 5:43.83 in the mile for 16th.

Following the All-State meet, Brett Sahlberg and Maguire will compete in the Pentathlon on Monday, Feb. 28.

McKinley and Doyle make States

ONE OF THE STATE’S BEST: Senior Jonathan McKinley finished third in Saturday’s Division III State meet, qualifying him for the All-State Meet at the Reggie Lewis Center this weekend.

The girls’ hockey team extended its winning streak to 15 games with an 8-0 thump-ing of Marshfield on Saturday afternoon at The Bog. It was a good tune-up for the Lady Dragons, as they prepared to take on Hingham on Tuesday morning in Rockland in a battle of Eastern Mass. pow-ers.

It was Senior Day for Coach Friend Weiler’s team, as seniors Briana Connolly, Keri Gould, Olivia McCa-

rthy, and Kayla Errasti were honored, along with their mothers, who came down to ice level to receive bouquets of roses.

The day’s festivities seemed to affect the Lady Dragons at the start, as an energized Marshfield squad held its own in the first pe-riod, but couldn’t take advan-tage of a two-on-one break in the first six minutes that was stopped by Duxbury goalten-der Rachel Myette.

a few steps, where two comfy chairs wait for visitors. It’s the closest thing to an office, where anyone from brides to widows can sit and rest, and work with Dianne to plan their floral arrangements.

“I have a fascination for natural things,” she said. “I keep a few items with ‘bling’ for those who want it.”

She tucked a sparkling miniature pheasant into a new corner. The rest of the room was filled with fronds, flowers and feathers all from nature; only occasionally were they altered in color, and never in form or pattern.

“I love coming here myself. I feel sorry for anyone who doesn’t love their job,” she said.

She moved the whole time we talked, gliding through the scent of jasmine, and gathering a token of tulips and daffodils to mark our meeting. I tried to refuse, but the flowers were so fresh, and I needed a breath of springtime.

Razia’s coming to town! Sunday, March 6, from 3-5 p.m. at the Senior Center, Razia Jan and the Duxbury Rotary will present tea, Afghan desserts, and Razia’s update of the activities at the Zabuli Education Center for Girls and Women, the school near Kabul in war-ravaged Deh Sabz, once a lush suburb of Kabul. Its orchards and vineyards – for raisins, not wine – are slowly being brought back to life. Razia’s presentation is entitled “Getting to Peace, One Educated Girl at a Time,” will highlight the progress, and share the needs for Razia’s unique approach.

A former business woman in Duxbury, Afghan-born Razia Jan, in concert with the Duxbury Rotary and the generosity of many others, founded, built, and supervises the Zabuli School. The story of the school’s opening still lives on the Duxbury Clipper Web site – just click on “The Road to Zabuli” for the background, or check out raziasrayofhope,.rg for more information and pictures.

In recent years, Razia has returned to Afghanistan to work for the USAID sponsored NGO, Arzu Rugs (arzurugs.org). This group supports Afghan rug weavers with a fair price for their rugs, along with educational and health supports for the weavers and their families. Women weave Afghan rugs, and the Arzu program includes a bonus stipend paid directly to the weaver, cash in hand. The families also agree to send one adult woman to school, along with all the children in the family. Arzu sells museum-quality rugs online, but they’ve added an easily affordable gift to the mix. In collaboration with peacecord.org, you can buy a peace bracelet woven by Arzu rug weavers for only $10. The bracelets are woven from parachute cord, decorated with an authentic military button, materials that are all too easy to find. The Web site says that 100 percent of the proceeds go to support grassroots programs in rural Afghanistan.

Weaving peace from buttons, parachutes, and educated girls. Now that’s a breath of springtime.

The Duxbury girls’ swim team capped off an undefeated regular season at the Division II state finals at Harvard on Sunday by placing in every event they entered and finish-ing third in the final results.

In a meet that came down to the last relay of the day, Duxbury went into the 400-yard freestyle relay tied with Weston and East Longmead-ow for third place. The relay team of Sarah Goldberg, Shel-by Rader, Avery Riddle, and Emily Hutchinson finished in third place with a season-low time of 3:42:75.

Sophomore Ellie Johnson was Duxbury’s top individual finisher of the meet with two fifth-place finishes. In the 200 IM, Johnson placed fifth with a time of 2:16:62, and then came back to take fifth again in the 100 breaststroke with a season-low time of 1:11:18.

Not to be outdone, Rader finished with a season-low time of 25:41 taking sixth place in the 50-yard freestyle. Touch-ing next for Duxbury was Riddle with a time of 26:29, followed closely by sisters Emily Hutchinson (26:35) and Hannah Hutchinson (26:67). Rader also took home eighth place in the 100-yard back-stroke with a 1:02:16, fol-lowed by Riddle and freshman Olivia Zelvis.

The 200-yard freestyle had four Duxbury swimmers competing. Senior co-cap-tain Goldberg brought home a seventh-place finish with a time of 1:58:47, while sister Jessie Goldberg followed with

a 2:07:44. Senior co-captain Emily Hutchinson was next with a time of 2:07:50, fol-lowed closely by Abby Mullen with a 2:07:57. Sarah Gold-berg also had a top-ten fin-ish in the 500-yard freestyle, placing eighth with an all-time personal-best time of 5:22:77, followed by sister, Jessie, with a 5:39:53. Mullen was third for Duxbury.

As they have all season, Duxbury’s freshmen domi-nated the 100-yard butterfly. Katie Eagan placed 11th over-all with a time of 1:03:26 and Michela Morris followed with a time of 1:06:75.

The 200-yard freestyle relay team and the 200-yard medley relay continued the success they’ve had all sea-son with two fifth-place fin-ishes. The freestyle team of Sarah Goldberg, Riddle, and the Hutchinsons came in with a 1:43:66. The medley re-lay team made up of Rader, Johnson, Eagan, and Hannah Hutchinson touched the wall at 1:56:06; a season-low time.

The Duxbury divers had a top-ten day with junior Sam Tougas finishing in sixth-place with 350 points. Freshman Kelsey Golden was close be-hind with 338 points to take seventh place.

The state final marked the last high school meet for senior co-captains Emily Hutchinson and Sarah Goldberg. Also, wrapping up their high school swim careers were co-captain Casey Walker, Alex Brady, Lindsay Currier, Kelly Mas-gul and team manager Anna Grubb.

“You always worry about Senior Day because it is an emotional roller coaster,” said Weiler. “They came out a little standoffish, but they became energized and got back on track in the second period.”

While the Lady Dragons dominated play in the early going, they were repeatedly stopped by Ram netminder Vicky Langrill, who kept the game scoreless until the 7:08 mark when Briana Connolly took a pass out from behind the net from Hannah Murphy and beat Langrill for a 1-0 lead.

Both teams would squan-der power-play opportunities late in the first period, but a big save by Myette with 1:25 left in the period kept Duxbury on top as the period ended.

Duxbury had a golden op-portunity in the first minute of the second period when Col-leen Leddie went in alone on Langrill, but was denied while the Duxbury pressure contin-

ued.Midway through the sec-

ond period the cover came off the Duxbury offense, as fresh-man defender Caroline Shau-nessy whistled a wrist shot from the left point that found the far corner for a more com-fortable 2-0 lead with 8:07 remaining in the period. Zoe Griffin and Liz Collins were given assists.

It took just eight more seconds for Duxbury to take total control, as Collins took the faceoff and barreled right through the Marshfield de-fense to beat Langrill and make it 3-0.

It was all Duxbury from here on, as Lily Connolly broke down the left side and into the offensive zone, com-ing across the net and firing a shot off the right post to make it 4-0 with 6:13 to go in the middle period.

By the time the period ended, the Lady Dragons had a commanding 5-0 lead, as Murphy skated deep into the zone and fired a shot up and under the cross bar with an as-sist going to junior defender Martha Findley.

Connolly and Murphy would score again in the first half of the third period, but the biggest score of the final 15 minutes came off the stick of junior defenseman Cory Con-

nolly, who returned to action this week after a foot injury disabled her for the regular season.

Her tally at the 3:45 mark was assisted by her sister, Bri-ana, and ended the scoring at 8-0.

“A lot of things could have made this a trap game, but they righted the ship in the second and third periods and got things turned around,” said Weiler.

A win over Hingham will put the Lady Dragons in the final of the Cougar Classic on Thursday against the winner of Sandwich/Bay View (RI).

“Our game with Hing-ham may not mean a lot in the standings, but it’s between two teams headed in the same di-rection and it’s a good tune-up for both teams going into the playoffs,” said the Duxbury coach.

If there is one thing Coach Gordon Cushing’s basketball team learned on Sunday night at Bridgewater State, it’s that playoff basketball is not like regular season play in the Pa-triot League.

The tempo is faster and the defensive pressure is more intense, so turnovers and poor shooting aren’t going to keep you in the tournament. Those two problems reared their ugly head in Bridgewater, as the Dragons stayed close for 24 minutes (38-32), then watched the wheels fall off their wag-on in a 64-38 loss to Oliver Ames in the opening game of the Harry Lehmann Memorial Tournament.

After a sloppy first quarter of basketball by both teams found the Dragons trailing 9-6, senior captain Conor Kin-dregan got his offense going to start the second period and scored four points inside to get Duxbury back to an 11-10 def-icit with 5:45 to go in the half.

After scoring four first-quarter points, junior captain Curtis Owen finally put the Dragons ahead with a jumper at the 5:15 mark. Duxbury would maintain a slim lead thanks to a three-pointer by Sam Ederle and another Kindregan basket that made it 17-15.

Consecutive three-pointers by OA’s Nick Bruha and John Moroney put the Tigers back in front at 21-17, and they left the floor with a one-point lead after a Kindregan free throw and a Justin Marino basket.

Owen (6 points) and Kin-dregan (2) started out with a bang as the second half got underway, and the Dragons looked like they had their act

together with a 28-23 lead. But eight straight points by the Ti-gers gave them a 31-28 lead, and Duxbury’s game suddenly fell apart, as their ball move-ment stopped and their shots came up short.

Trailing by just six points with eight minutes left, Dux-bury was within striking dis-tance. But after Ederle matched a Mason Pires basket to make it 42-32, the Duxbury offense came apart, and the Tigers scored eight straight points for a 50-34 lead with 3:40 left in the game.

At this point Cushing could tell his team was out of it and he cleared the bench. A

pair of free throws by senior guard Pat Fahey, and another basket from a reserve, were the only points the Dragons would score the rest of the way, as the Tigers outscored the Dragons 26-6 in the final eight minutes.

“I don’t know what it is, but we are just playing flat right now,” said Cushing. “If we can’t initiate our offense closer to the basket it causes us to commit turnovers. A couple of kids played well, but overall we were just awful. This is a tournament type game and it’s not the Patriot League. We just have to get our act together and regroup and be ready for

the tournament. I can tell you, we better play better than that or it is going to be a short tour-nament.”

Owen led the Dragons

with 16 points, while Kin-dregan chipped in with 11. Bruha scored 16 points for Oliver Ames, while Pires con-tributed 15.

The Duxbury boys’ swim team spent Saturday at Har-vard’s Blodgett Pool with seven swimmers competing at the Division II States. This marked the last meet of the Dragons undefeated season and the last high school meet for senior co-captain Barry Su.

The Dragons started the meet off in fine form with the team of Ian Wilson, Barry and Arthur Su, and Mike Con-nolly taking tenth-place in the 200-yard medley relay. Con-nolly led the team at States and was the only swimmer to score points in an individual event. He swam a season-low 1:51.87 in the 200-yard free-style event, taking 10th place. Also swimming his best time in that event, was Arthur Su, who finished in 16th.

The 200-yard individual medley saw three Dragons compete. The top swimmer for Duxbury was Stephen Tonaszuck, who tied for 20th with a time of 2:09.54. Right behind him was Wilson,

who cruised to a season-low 2:10.06 for 22nd place. Barry Su, finishing in 29th, would later return to the pool as the sole Dragon in the 100-yard butterfly. He took 21st with a season-low time of 58.19.

The 100-yard backstroke and 100-yard breaststroke events also had only one Drag-on compete. Wilson would fin-ish 22nd in the 100 backstroke with a time of 59.46 and Ar-thur Su, swimming the 100 breast, took 21st with at best time of 1:06.18.

Tonaszuck just missed scoring points in the 500-yard freestyle event. He swam a 5:08.90, breaking the 5:10 mark for the first time this sea-son and finishing in 13th place, while Connolly took 16th.

The 400-yard freestyle re-lay team also scored points for the Dragons. Participating in the last event of the meet were Connolly, Wilson, Arthur Su and Tonaszuck, who coast-ed to 12th place in a time of 3:27.76.

The team finished in 28th place overall.
