to 3 percent, passes. He also pointed to changes in state law, like the new bullying rules, that often ask more of district officials without offer-ing any extra funding.

Tantillo also showed a chart showing the difference in per pupil spending for Dux-bury and the state average. In 2005 Duxbury spend $1,300 less per student than the aver-age, but over the last several years, the gap has widened to $2,400. To catch up, he said, would take 8 million dollars.

“I think people need to be made aware of that,” he said. He credited the district’s staff and teachers “for having such a very good program on such an austere budget.”

The total numbers for the fiscal year 2012 budget (so far) were broken down into the following categories: ne-gotiated increases, which includes things like salaries and services; level service increases, meaning budget in-creases necessary to maintain the same level of services; and essential increases, which in-cludes textbooks and staffing increases deemed essential by the administration. (See side-bar for breakdown.)

Overall, the proposed bud-get is a 4.87 percent increase over the last fiscal year, and the total school budget will be $29,308,500. Business Man-ager Susan Nauman pointed out that the dollar increase over the last fiscal year is

$1,362,042, and nearly a mil-lion of that is in the “negoti-ated increase” category.

“Our current charge is to determine what our strategy going forward is,” said Nau-man, pointing out that if the budget passed in its current state there would still be a shortfall. “I don’t know if we can realistically fund this from just local sources and grant money.”

Nauman said that the tiered approach the district has been using to make cuts, where classroom teachers are in the center and therefore most protected area, has been working well over the past couple of years.

“I think it’s been very valuable,” she said. “It reflects the commitment of the school administration to prioritize the cuts based on academics.”

School Committee Chair-woman Anne Ward asked Nauman about discussions with the town regarding con-solidation of services. Nau-

man said that the only ven-dor that would really work is waste management, and they are still working to come up with a contract.

School Committee mem-ber Maureen Connolly noted that the bus contract was up for renewal.

“I hope that whatever way you do the contract it can be done more efficiently,” she said. “I think we’d all agree we want to put the money in the classroom instead of on the school bus.”

Ward also asked about the principal requests that were cut out before the budget even gets to School Committee.

“People think it’s our first cut at the budget ... but you guys have already reduced this,” she said.

Tantillo said that mainte-nance is often the first thing cut out in preliminary budget discussions.

“The buildings have been sorely neglected,” he said.

Overall, however, he said that the building principals stuck to his request for a 2 percent increase when mak-ing their requests.

Add layers of flavorBy MiChelle ConWay, Clipper ColuMnist

[email protected]

Layering flavors is, to the cook, what painting on a primed canvas is to the painter; layering provides the extra pizzazz to a dish in the same way that

a simple reflective panel provides glorious “oomph” to a photograph. A good recipe can stand on its own without the extra steps. However, taking the time to layer the flavors will add depth of flavor to a dish and add that little extra something that makes a meal stand out in the crowd.

Most recipes call for sautéing onion before adding other ingredients. The onion acts as a base to the rest of the dish; when you eat the dish, the onion flavor won’t be a primary flavor. To enhance the onion flavor, sauté some of the onion as the recipe indicates and add the rest of the onion half way through the cooking process. If a recipe calls for three cloves of garlic, find three opportunities to add it to the dish. Sauté it at first with the onion, squeeze another clove in when the sautéing is done and add a third clove towards the end of the cooking process to give the dish a garlic bite.

Below is a recipe for lentil and roasted squash soup. It is written in two ways. The first is the way the recipe would be written in a cookbook, the second demonstrates how to layer the flavors. Even with the added steps, the soup takes only 60 minutes start to finish and 40 minutes of that time, is simmering time.

In the layered version, a bit of the squash is added at the beginning to enhance the flavor base. This is a basic principal of flavor layering. Add a bit of an ingredient at the beginning and more as you cook to make the flavors sing. Add a bit of finely chopped raw shrimp to the base of your soup or pasta dish; tiny pieces of sausage or meat cooked with the onions and celery will give more depth to your sauce or stew and please your palate in unexpected ways.

Roasted Squash and Lentil Soup1 butternut squash, peeled2 carrots, chopped1 onion, chopped3 cloves of garlic, chopped1 celery rib, diced fine4 tablespoons vegetable oilKosher salt4 cups chicken broth 4 cups water3/4 cup dried lentilsBlack pepperTo roast the squash:

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.Cube the squash to a size to fit on a spoon in the soup.

In a bowl, toss the cubed squash with 2 tablespoons of the vegetable oil until coated. Tip the squash onto a foil lined cookie sheet. Sprinkle with Kosher salt.

Roast on the lower rack of the oven for about 10 minutes (until starting to brown). Turn the squash cubes and roast another 10 minutes (until starting to brown).

To make the soup:Heat two tablespoons of vegetable oil in a pot. Add the

chopped onion, carrot, celery, garlic and sauté until soft. Add the broth, water and lentils to the pot, bring to a

simmer. Cover and simmer 40 minutes, until the lentils are cooked. Stir in the cooked squash, season with black pepper.

Alternate method – layering the flavorsUse the same ingredient list and same squash recipe

as above however – cut 3/4 of the onion fine and ¼ rough chop. Cut one carrot fine and one rough chop.

Heat two tablespoons of vegetable oil in a soup pot. One at a time (about 30 seconds apart): add the finely chopped onion then one finely chopped carrot, then all the celery, then 1 clove of garlic and a few cubes of squash - diced (can be cooked or raw). Sprinkle with kosher salt. Once all the vegetables are added, turn the heat down to low, cover the pot and allow the vegetables to sweat until soft. Once the veggies are soft, add another garlic clove. Give it 30 seconds in the pot. Add the water, broth and lentils. Simmer for 25 minutes. Add the rough cut carrot, onion and remaining garlic clove. Simmer until the vegetables and lentils are cooked, about 10 more minutes. Stir in the cooked squash. Season with black pepper.

Employee handbook takes shapeBy susanna sheehan, Clipper staff

[email protected]

Human Resources direc-tor Jeannie Horne unveiled five new personnel policies before the Board of Select-men this week in the hopes that these will form the basis for the town’s first employee handbook.

The draft documents include the following: a background check policy, a non-discriminatory and anti-harassment policy, a whistle-blower policy, equal employ-ment opportunity rules and regulations, and the town’s maternity leave policy.

Horne asked selectmen to review the new policies and then discuss and vote their ap-proval at a future meeting.

Selectmen asked Horne to make sure the policies refer-enced any relevant state laws, to which she agreed. The poli-cies have been reviewed by the town’s personnel board and also by its labor counsel, Horne added.

All of the policies are new except for the non-decimator and anti-harassment policy, which is an update, said Horne. Also, the town currently con-ducts background checks on new hires, as well as contrac-tors who routinely work for the town, but it has decided to use a third-party company, which will provide the infor-mation electronically.

The non-discriminatory and anti-harassment policy document defines harassment including sexual harassment and outlines the complaint procedures as well as how the town will conduct investiga-tions of complaints.

This policy also addresses

frivolous claims and protects someone who makes a com-plaint against retaliation.

The background check policy states that the town can conduct a criminal background check on a potential new em-ployee once that person has been offered a job. The town can also obtain information on an applicant’s education, driv-ing record, employment and credit history and investigate both personal and professional references. Horne said that a background check would be subject to an applicant’s ap-proval and that the potential employee would only receive a copy if it contained what she called “adverse findings.”

The new whistleblower policy encourages town em-ployees, elected officials and committee volunteers to come forward if they have credible information regarding illegal or improper practices or seri-ous violations of town poli-cies. It outlines the complaint procedure and explains the rules for protection from re-taliation.

The town’s maternity leave policy follows the Massachu-setts Maternity Leave Act. It allows up to eight weeks of leave for the purpose of giving birth, adopting a child under 18 or adopting a mentally or physically disabled child un-der 23.

The equal employment opportunity policy states the town’s position as an equal op-portunity employer, preventing it from denying employment based on race, age, ancestry, religion, sexual orientation or veteran status, to name a few categories. All town employ-ees share the responsibility for

making sure that the equal em-ployment opportunity policy is followed.

Horne said that her ultimate goal is to make these polices available electronically to all town employees via the town’s intranet, but that there was no ability to make this happen at this time. Once these policies receive selectmen’s’ approval, Horne said she plans to com-bine them into an employee handbook.

IN OTHER BUSINESS:

• Postponed a discussion of the future of the North Hill golf course at the request of Town Manager Richard MacDonald. MacDonald said he wanted to wait to hear the outcome of the upcoming court hearing on Nov. 3. He also said he was in discus-sions with the DPW direc-tor and recreation director regarding the details of the town managing the course itself. Last week, selectmen terminated the management contract with the current manager, Johnson Golf of Weston, and gave the com-pany until Oct. 31 to pack up and leave.

• Learned that the Bay Circuit Trail, including Duxbury’s portion, will be part of the Chronicle television show on Channel 5 at 7:30 p.m. this Friday.

• Announced that there will be a licensing hearing with Comcast on Nov. 22.

Dear Duxbury voter:

As proud Duxbury residents we inhabit all sides of the political spectrum –– Republican, Democrat and Independent.

We don’t always agree on everything, but we all love Duxbury and we all agree Josh Cutler is the best candidate to serve as our next state representative.

The Cutler family has been synonymous with Duxbury for three-quarters of a century. Josh’s grandparents launched the Duxbury Clipper over their dining room table on Washington Street back in 1950. Josh was raised here in Duxbury and grew up learning lessons from his father, David, about the value of hard work, compassion and integrity.

Josh has carried on that family legacy, serving over a decade at the helm of the Clipper, and more recently as a member of the Planning Board. He and his wife, Leslie, now live on Vine Street and are raising their young son, Charlie.

Josh is an independent thinker who brings a roll-up-his-sleeves-and-get-to work kind of attitude. He won’t be afraid to challenge the special interests or buck party leaders to ensure that we protect all that we love about Duxbury –– our schools, our small businesses and our beaches and open spaces.

If you want more problem-solving and less partisanship on Beacon Hill, we urge you to consider Duxbury’s own Josh Cutler on Nov. 2. We’ve never had our elected representative from Duxbury, but this year we can change that.

Sincerely,

Andre Martecchini Margaret M. Kearney James Pye Amy MacNab Heritage Lane Church Street Prior Farm Road Tobey Garden Street

Laura Doherty, local author, to speak at DRHS lecture

On Thursday, Oct. 28 at 7 p.m., Laura Ricketson Doherty will speak on her recently published book, “Annie Ricketson’s Journal.” The event will take place at the Drew Archival Li-brary, 147 St. George Street and is part of the Sarah Wingate Taylor Lecture Series.

Doherty, who is communications coordinator for the Dux-bury Art Complex Museum, knew generally of her family’s history with whaling but it wasn’t until seeing a portrait of an ancestor at the New Bedford Whaling Museum that she really became interested. Years later, she learned of Annie Ricket-son’s journal and found it by researching at various museums and libraries.

“Annie’s journey provides a different look at what many have come to believe was the life of a typical Victorian lady,” said Doherty. “Her journal offers a more human glimpse of life on a whaling ship than what is usually found in ship logs.”

Books will be available for sale with a portion of the pro-ceeds benefitting the DRHS.

Those seeking more information about the lecture should contact the Duxbury Rural and Historical Society at 781-934-6106 or visit the Society’s Web site at duxburyhistory.org.

By erin thorp, Clipper intern

For writers, November has a different meaning than the leaves changing colors or Thanksgiving. National Novel Writing Month, referred to by participants as Nanowrimo, starts Nov. 1 this year, as it has since it was first created in 1999. Most non-writers have probably never heard of the event, which mostly takes place online at nanowrimo.org. For one month, writers from all over the world come together on the site for a single goal: to write a 50,000 word novel in just a month, from Nov. 1 to the 30.

I first heard about the proj-ect in 2007. I was a junior at Pine Manor College and have been writing creative fiction since the fifth grade, but my writing was private and recre-ational. A fellow English ma-jor knew of my love for writ-ing fiction and told me about Nanowrimo. I spent October working on an outline for my story. As a long time writer, I knew that would be invalu-able for those moments when intelligent thought and prose wouldn’t come, which is of-ten a death sentence to many Nanowrimos. Writing 50,000 words in thirty days isn’t easy, as Duxbury resident Ida Aron-son, a first time Nanowrimo this year, can attest to.

“It’s very intimidating. 50,000 words in a month, amounting to roughly a 175 page novel,” she said, “As someone who’s never gotten past maybe ten pages into a story, it’s completely daunt-ing.”

There are bad days, head-aches, and the stresses of daily life that can make those daily word counts add up. I was one

of the fortunate few that had a good idea and the will to do whatever I had to do to see it through. Now, that first year is a blur.

I vaguely remember long nights at my computer, writing so fast that I could barely hold a pencil the next day. I would write any chance I got, writ-ing as much as I could, when I could. I would write during meals, my college’s dining hall was a poor place to write with the loud noises and dis-tractions. I ignored friends and family, TV shows and chores, all for my novel. I know that most, if not all, Nanowrimos have very similar stories. Most, including myself, will also tell you that Nanowrimo is pain-ful, but when you are creating a story and page after page passes you by, it is also quite fun. I completed the challenge that first year, with a trilogy about lycanthropy that focused on modern American, Inuit, and Brazilian cultural folklore about the subject. The key to winning, is to keep writing, never stopping to edit, even if you know that what you’ve come up with is awful. Since then, I’ve joined Nanowrimo every year and have won ev-ery time. Once again, as Sep-tember gave way to October, I found myself impatiently waiting for Nov. 1, the only day of the year when unpub-lished authors like myself can truly feel like they are a part of something special. Aron-son, who will be working on a novel with a post-apopalytic, vampiric theme, also speaks of her upcoming project with excitement.

“My plan is just to spout as many words as I can... I have no idea how this is going

to work out, but I hope it will get me through November at least, and then I can just edit it in December,” she said, “It seems like something to kick-start me into gear. So I’m also pretty excited.”

Writers can create an ac-count before Nov. (it’s all free) and chat about their upcoming project with fellow Nanow-rimos at the extensive forums, but writing anything beyond a very basic outline before November is strictly forbid-den. If they have successfully reached their goal by Nov. 30, Nanowrimos can expect win-ner badges to post on websites and blogs, congrats from sev-eral Nanowrimo staff mem-bers, and, most importantly, bragging rights and a feeling of accomplishment.

The highest success rate (18.2 percent) in 2008 weren’t professional writers, just a bunch of people who liked to write for fun, a hopeful mes-sage to everyone out there who thinks that they can’t write a novel because they’re too young, too old, not educat-ed, or not motivated enough. If Nanowrimo proves one thing, it’s that anyone can write a novel, they just have to find the will to sit down and write. What they come up with might not be award winning, but they can proudly say “I did what 80 percent of other writers, some long time professionals, couldn’t. I wrote a novel in thirty days.”

Duxbury Camera Club presents Critique Night Nov. 3

Wednesday, Nov. 3 is the Duxbury Camera Club’s mem-bers’ turn to have their work critiqued by someone who knows a good photograph when she sees one. The featured guest, Becky Haletky, has won over 275 awards for both her pho-tography and painting. She has a BFA in photography from Massachusetts College of Art, and has been painting in wa-tercolor since 1980, using photography as a tool in her own painting and in her classes at the Fuller Museum of Art and South Shore Art Center. DCC members are invited to bring two matted or mounted photos in one of two categories: a “friendly” critique is offered for those who may wish positive encouragement, or a “no holds barred” critique for those who are ready to hear unvarnished, constructive feedback. Prints must be between 8x10 – 16x20 inches. Becky comes highly recommended from the South Shore Camera Club where her Critique Nights have been well received.

Later in November members are invited to join the field trip to Plimouth Plantation, on Nov. 13. There are two upcom-ing members’ workshops. On Oct. 30, Glenn Pollock will be repeating his popular Matting and Mounting session, and on Nov. 20, Lynne Ford will present An Introduction to Digital Workflow. Information and registration are available online at duxburycameraclub.org.

Duxbury Camera Club meets the first Wednesday of each month, from 7-9:15 p.m., in the Merry Room of the Duxbury Free Library. Guests are always welcome at the monthly meetings, while workshops, field trips and critiques are avail-able to members only. For more information visit the website or contact [email protected].

DON’T MISS ACCLAIMED HYPNOTISTDAN CANDELL FOR AN EVENINGOF FAMILY FUN WITH HIS SHOW

“HYPNOSIS GONE WILD”SEE THE SHOW, OR BE THE SHOW!

By steve donovan, speCial to the Clipper

These two young men were both World War One Veterans and rel-

atives of Alice and Arthur Vau-train. Alice and Arthur are the “A & A” on the brick. Charles Marriott was an uncle of Alice Vautrain. Leo Vautrain was an uncle of Arthur Vautrain.

Neither man knew the other but both volunteered for service when the United States went to war against Germany in 1917.

Charles A. MarriottCharles A. Marriott was

born July 9, 1889 in Kansas City, Missouri and his parents soon moved to Silver City, New Mexico. Charles was the brother of Alice Vautrain’s mother. He was a plucky, well liked fellow who helped his father manage the Mogollon Stage Line. The father and son also operated the first motor driven trucks used to haul silver ore from the New Mexico mines down dangerous mountain roads to Silver City.

At the age of fourteen, Charles somehow bent age rules and joined the National Guard of New Mexico, where he trained with the first mili-tia company. He continued to attend the local grade school during this period. After grade school his family arranged for him to board with friends in Indianapolis, Indiana where he received his high school di-ploma.

He then returned to New Mexico and enrolled in college at the Normal School which later became the University of New Mexico.

In 1916 Pancho Villa raided Columbus, New Mexico and President Wilson activated the National Guard. Charlie Mar-riott was 26 and the second highest enlisted member of Company H, commanded by Captain Cyprian W. McSherry. Charlie’s rank was supply ser-geant. He served eleven months on garrison duty in Columbus

and before the campaign ended he was commended by Mc-Sherry for his zealousness and advanced to First Sergeant.

On July 25, 1917, he mar-ried Miss Julia Sallie Fall and they made their home in Ty-rone, New Mexico, near Silver City.

When WWI broke out in 1917, Charley joined the regu-lar Army and was accepted for entrance into the officer’s train-ing camp at Leon Springs, Tex-as. Later that same year another young Lieutenant, Dwight D. Eisenhower, would also train at Leon Springs.

Charley graduated as First Lieutenant after three months of rigorous training and was ordered to Camp McArthur, Texas, where he received flight training in bi-wing aircraft. He then added flight wings to his uniform. Camp MacArthur and Rich Field were the only two places where flight training was offered at this time.

The young First Flight Lieutenant was later transferred to Camp Pike, Arkansas for in-fantry training and early in the summer of 1917, he was again transferred, this time to Camp Beauregard, Louisiana.

Camp Meade, Maryland was his next posting for a spe-cial course in battalion devel-opment training after which he returned to Camp Beauregard, assigned to headquarters duty. He had only been serving in that capacity a few weeks when stricken by influenza. Ironically his commission as a Captain was in the mail but had not ar-rived before he suffered a re-lapse and died on Oct. 11, 1917 from the Spanish flu epidemic.

Because of fear that the Spanish flu which killed him could spread to others, Charles Marriott’s inside church service was limited to family. Not much was known about the spread of this disease and the government had issued guidelines to try to contain it. His many friends waited outside the church and then followed his funeral cor-tege to the graveside services.

Arthur and Alice Vautrain often wonder what path Char-lie’s life might have taken had

he gone on and survived the war. He was a fine looking man and newspaper reports at the time indicate he was well liked and respected by everyone. The Army had certainly valued what it saw in him; his training was both varied and extensive and they had already put through his promotion to Captain. He was a young man on a fast track with unlimited potential.

William Leo VautrainArthur Vautrain’s uncle,

William Leo Vautrain, had little liking for his first name and al-ways went by just Leo. He was of French heritage. His parents were Canadian and had moved to Massachusetts in 1896 from Quebec to seek employment in the Holyoke mills. Few family records have survived and little is known about Leo. He was born in 1896 in Holyoke shortly after his parents arrived there. It is presumed he enlisted in the U.S. Army from Massachu-setts and thus probably served in the 26th Yankee Division. His photograph shows him to be an infantry private. It is not known which battles he was in-volved in. His family does have information passed by word of mouth that he was mustard gassed while in France, prob-ably in 1918.

He was married to Miss Jen-nie Connors and, after the war, the couple moved to Clifton, New Jersey. Leo Vautrain died there from respiratory prob-lems at the age of 51 on June 23, 1947. The Vautrain family believes his death was related to the gassing he received at the hands of the Germans while fighting in France in World War One.

their roots back to Duxbury.The building recently

underwent some restoration work, the first in several de-cades, according to Admin-istrative Manager Matt Vi-gneau.

“This is a living breathing house,” he said.

The restorers found some interesting things during the work. Although the wood re-moved is difficult to date, they did find some nails that were machined, but would have come in a long strip and were cut into smaller pieces. They also found a decidedly non-period metal gas station sign used to plug a hole in the side of the house, only revealed when workers started taking the shingles off. Vigneau says that it’s just another example of the Alden family being practical, thrifty people.

Over the last three weeks, the building got a new roof, workers resealed the chimney and put new shingles on the original homestead.

“We decided to just do it all,” Vigneau said.

The exterior of the build-ing isn’t the only thing that’s new. Vigneau, a Duxbury na-tive, has been working at the museum since April. He stud-ied history as an undergradu-ate, and is currently pursuing a master’s degree through the Harvard University Exten-sion.

“I thought I should start to pursue what I enjoy,” he said. “I care about this town. I went here [the Alden House] as a little kid.”

His job involves the day-to-day operation of the house, which can include administra-tive things like paying bills or maintaining the list of the Al-den Kindred, to giving tours.

“It’s a great opportunity for someone like me ... in a small museum like this you do everything,” he said.

Vigneau said he’s look-ing to have the Alden House branch out more into the com-munity, working more with groups like the Duxbury Rural and Historical Society. The Alden House will be partici-pating in Holly Days during the Christmas season, and the Speak For Thyself awards will return in May after a hiatus.

The house also recently connected with an interesting genealogy TV show called “The Generations Project,” run by Brigham Young Uni-versity TV. The show takes people at a crossroads in their current lives and helps them to make a decision by examining their past.

The show, filmed in part at the Alden House on Oct. 16, involved a man named Sean Plasse from Burlington, Vt. who is a a descendent of John Alden. Plasse was consider-ing leaving his current career to fulfill a lifelong dream of writing children’s books, but

he was unsure about taking the plunge.

He came down to Massa-chusetts and visited Plimoth Plantation, meeting the actor who plays John Alden. He came to the Alden House in Duxbury, and the show filmed its final scenes on Duxbury Beach. The show is only avail-able in Duxbury to those with satellite TV, but Vigneau hopes it will help increase awareness of the Aldens in the Midwest.

He thinks that Plasse found what he needed by looking to his past.

“John Alden came here as a single guy, looking for op-portunity ... he took that leap of faith,” said Vigneau.

He said that he found the show interesting because of the personal connection it makes with one’s past.

“We’re all important, I think in history that sometimes gets lost,” he said.

RAISING YOUTH SPORT CONCUSSION AWARENESS Because chiropractic places par-ticular emphasis on the nervous system’s role in maintaining health and eliminating disease, chiroprac-tors are acutely aware of the impor-tant roles played by the brain and spinal cord. With this in mind, it is important to raise the awareness of young players, coaches, and par-ents about the potential dangers of concussion. During each season, an estimated half of all high school football players suffer a concussion. About one-third of players report suffering more than one seasonal concussion, which some call “mild traumatic brain injuries.” As a result, they are at higher risk of long-lasting brain damage. As everyone should be aware, a concussion is far more serious than simply having one’s “bell rung.”

We care about your child’s wel-fare. Let our doctor of chiropractic help educate your young athlete to prevent serious head injuries. Call LALONDE CHIROPRACTIC SPINE CENTER OF NEW ENGLAND, 42 Tremont St., Suite 10B (Rt 3A at Rt 3), and become familiar with the health benefits we can provide. We are trained to evaluate joint and muscle problems and will use gen-tle, specific skills to identify and treat any involved areas. Find relief from chronic pain, sports injuries, or stress, and improve your overall health with Cox® Technic that works with the body’s natural design to aid it in healing. Call 781.934.0943. P.S. Even a mild concussion war-rants immediate cessation and ac-tivity and rest until a player receives medical clearance to return to the field.

to the hospital as a result of the injuries. One of the injured players suffered a concussion. DHS Athletic Director Thom Holdgate said as of Monday that student had not come back to school, however, Gilbert-Whitner said he had been re-leased from the hospital. The names of the students were not released.

Whitman-Hanson officials said that no penalties or cards were issued during the game, and W-H Athletic Director Jim Daley said that the first inci-dent was ruled a legal hit.

“The officials, saw the first contact and determined it was just a hard play,” he said. How-ever the other incident, which resulted in the DHS student’s concussion, was away from the ball and no one had a clear view of what happened.

“I can’t find anybody who really saw it,” Daley said. “It was away from the play, I don’t even know which way.”

After the game, the Whit-man-Hanson player who had been involved in the second injury made “unpleasant and unkind remarks” on the social networking site Facebook, ac-cording to Gilbert-Whitner.

She said the Whitman-Hanson player has been sus-pended from any sports for the remainder of the year. She added that Massachusetts In-terscholastic Athletic Associa-tion governs rules on athletic events, but there is a grey area for incidents that happen after the game.

“[The Whitman-Hanson Regional School District] does not condone poor sportsman-like behavior, aggressive play-ing or the misuse of social net-works,” Gilbert-Whitner said.

Holdgate said that his main concern was to make sure Whitman-Hanson officials knew of the postings.

“We found out about the online stuff and we simply made sure Whitman-Hanson was aware of it,” he said. “It’s basically a matter for Whit-man-Hanson.”

Holdgate said that similar incidents have come to his at-tention in the past, in terms of comments made away from the field, but only in the form of rumors. This time, because of the record on Facebook, there was something to bring to the attention of Whitman-Hanson officials.

Gilbert-Whitner added that school officials have told

the students over and over that “what they put on the Internet is there to stay and is there for anyone to see.” She said the district will be using this as a “teachable moment.”

“People were hurt physi-cally, socially and emotion-ally,” Gilbert-Whitner said. “One of the positive things that can come from this terrible in-cident is that it will help young people improve their decision making skills.”

Daley said he is nervous about the impact sites like Fa-cebook have off the field.

“I don’t think good things come out of it,” he said.

Gilbert-Whitner said WHRHS Principal Jeff Szy-maniak and Duxbury High School Principal Andrew Ste-phens have been working to-gether on preventing any simi-lar incidents from occurring and to prevent this incident from escalating.

“I am very confident Jeff Szymaniak and the administra-tive team handled the incident professionally and in the best way possible,” she said.

Almost a “dry” Duxbury? In 1970, a question was on the election ballot deciding whether or not Duxbury should allow licenses for the sale of alcoholic beverages in package stores and restau-rants. This political advertisement was published in the Clipper, Oct. 29, 1970 and endorsed by the liquor stores and restaurants in town. The town voted yes on question 6 that year, keeping alcohol sales legal in Duxbury.

From Duxbury to Russia, With Love

This season’s Sunday Salon Series at the Dux-bury Free Library opens on Nov. 21 at 2 p.m. with an educational presentation by two Fulbright scholars, Eileen and Brian Donnel-ly, who traveled and lec-tured in Kazan, Russia for four months.

Duxbury, like all other communities in the Common-

wealth, is being called upon to address the issue of bullying. As such, our school administra-tion has been charged with the responsibility of creating poli-cies and procedures to address the issue as it pertains to the schools and school activities. On Nov. 10 the Bullying Task Force of the Duxbury Public Schools will conduct a public meeting to inform the public of their actions and accomplish-ments as well as solicit com-ments and concerns from the public. I urge everyone to at-tend. The solution to bullying and other inappropriate behav-ior is a community challenge that involves everyone.

Some parents believe that bullying is a school only prob-lem. While it is true that the school can become a focal point for bullying activity, it is not the only place it can occur. With the advent of cell phones and the internet, it can occur at all hours of the day and night beyond the view of school ad-ministrators.

As a parent and grandpar-ent, I’m well aware of our fer-

vent desire to believe and trust our children and we will vigor-ously defend them when they are accused of wrongdoing. However, unfortunately, we oft times learn later they have betrayed our trust. While we are disappointed, it is they who suffer the consequences. Trust is an easy thing to lose, but very difficult to regain. Young people can unwittingly learn unacceptable behavior for if it worked once it will again. A recent national survey revealed that 60 percent of young people in grades 7 to 9 who have been identified as bullies, will be ar-rested for another crime before the age of 24. This is a startling statistic worth noting. Some feel the affluence of Duxbury insulates us from these types

of behavior. Sadly, it is the af-fluence of Duxbury that breeds the sense of entitlement that fosters unacceptable behavior. The Duxbury Schools may take the lead addressing these problems, however, their role is limited (and hampered) by legal and confidentiality con-straints and we need to respect and accept this. Therefore, the cure for bullying along with to-bacco, alcohol and drug abuse begins at home. The church, athletics and other activities can have a guiding impact on a young person’s development. However, it is never more im-portant than an involved fam-ily at home. It is there that they learn appropriate behavior as well as respect for others. If at times, they act inappropriately, it may be a reflection of what they see at home and we uncon-sciously teach them.

Children want to be loved, admired and respected and will go to great lengths to achieve all of it. We, as members of the larger community, need to con-stantly reinforce these feelings of security and acceptance.

Duxbury’s bullying task force has a tall task

Incident reveals social networking’s

ugly sideCartoonist Mike Krahulik –– better known as

“Gabe” from the gaming-themed Web site Penny Arcade –– has a theory on what the Internet does

to people. Since this is a family paper, we’ll call it the “Greater Internet Jerkwad Theory.” He believes that a normal person, coupled with the total anonymity and audience the World Wide Web provides, can be transformed into something they’re not –– hence, a total jerkwad.

This is the simplest, but best description so far of the power the Internet has to incite hatred, cruelty and bigotry, so much more than a face-to-face conversation. Something about the captive audience and freedom from accountability on a newspaper comment section, or even a Facebook account, seems to egg on otherwise normal people to insane levels of fear and loathing. And the other downside to the Web? You can’t take it back as easily as something said in the midst of a heated conversation. Once it’s out there, it’s out there, screen capped and mass e-mailed for all to see.

The recent incident involving junior varsity soccer players from Duxbury and Whitman-Hanson is an ugly example of how normal teenage boasting can transform into something more sinister once a young man gets in front of that online audience. If the Whitman-Hanson player that injured a young man from Duxbury really said the things he’s accused of saying on the social networking site, it’s too distributing to write off as just a high school boy being a high school boy. Yet some Duxbury parents seem to want to label this kid as a sociopath –– and that’s going too far in the other direction.

Sure, Facebook requires users to provide a name, but there’s still an element of anonymity there. There are still two computer screens and miles of fiber optic cable between the person making the taunts and the person being bullied. And that distance, physical separation and emotional disconnect is a breeding ground for over-the-top comments that are later regretted.

The good news is that both school districts seem to have handled this properly. As long as the comments are truly his, the young man from Whitman-Hanson certainly deserved to be suspended from sports, and Duxbury did the right thing by contacting W-H and leaving it at that. The bad news is that two teens from Duxbury were seriously injured. As the Duxbury school district examines bullying issues throughout the school year, this is an example of the real-world consequences that such behavior can have. Let’s hope that it’s taken to heart and no one else gets hurt.

A common sense approach

By John heinstadt

As Duxbury’s School Building Committee plans to address the conditions of an outdated Duxbury Middle School and Duxbury High School, the

concept of a co-located school will get much more attention. What is a co-located school and why is it the common sense choice for Duxbury now?

First, it is important to understand what co-located means and what it doesn’t. It doesn’t mean that the middle school and high school become one school with students sharing the same classrooms, hallways, gyms or cafeterias. Once the students enter school in the morning they will probably not see each other again until the afternoon dismissal.

What it does mean is some shared physical features that will save the town money in design, construction, operating and maintenance costs. The concept of co-located schools is based in synergy and high-efficiency use of shared assets such as a media center, kitchen, loading dock, mechanical plant for heating, air conditioning, electrical and plumbing, technology support, and other key elements. Two student populations sharing single systems will provide cost savings for the life of the buildings, both in initial costs and ongoing maintenance costs.

The co-located schools will offer improved space and energy utilization and accessibility for disabled students and staff within a smaller footprint than two separate facilities. The building will have one, two and three story portions, where classroom areas are efficiently stacked in three-story clusters rather than spread out along long hallways. The smaller footprint will also improve building security and create the flexibility to improve parking, traffic flow and open space on the St. George Street campus. A flexible co-located design would allow for ready accommodation of changes in enrollment and enhance the educational program.

DMS and DHS students already share some resources. Teachers in music, world language and other subjects regularly cross the street to teach in both schools. Some DMS students cross to DHS for advanced math courses. Physical education students from DMS walk to DHS to use equipment there. After school, many middle school students walk to the high school for music lessons. Students from both schools use the Performing Arts Center and the playing fields on both sides of St. George Street. And, of course, students in grade six through twelve share the same buses going to and from school.

The SBC, in conjunction with the Massachusetts School Building Authority, or MSBA, is working to find the most cost-effective, educationally appropriate solution to two buildings that are at the end of their useful lives. The MSBA has invited Duxbury to collaborate on a project and indicated interest in a co-located model school design that would earn Duxbury another five percent in reimbursement funding, saving the town millions of dollars. This is a significant opportunity for Duxbury to resolve serious issues at both schools and eliminate the barriers to teaching and learning that will intensify as the buildings continue to age.

The question of whether the two schools need to be replaced was answered a decade ago. Duxbury’s School Facilities Master Plan in 2000 slated these two buildings for major renovation or construction by 2010. Both buildings have similar issues: they are both at or near 50 years old, neither has been upgraded since the 1970s, classrooms and special education spaces are undersized, accessibility for disabled persons and life safety systems are limited, energy efficiency is deficient, interior classrooms and offices are windowless, storage and student services space is lacking and the layout does not fully meet the needs of the educational program. Major systems will need replacement: roofs, windows, doors, HVAC, plumbing – all at a cost of many tens of millions of dollars that may not be eligible for MSBA reimbursement.

The challenge before us is how to plan for educationally appropriate, 21st century facilities at the best value to taxpayers. A co-located high school and middle school with additional MSBA reimbursement is a common-sense option to explore.

[This is a continuation of Ms. Brayer’s ar-ticle from last week talking about the arguments for and against a new school. -Ed.]

Vistas are important to this town: The subject of the location of a new co-located DMS/DHS has come up,

and the recommendation is right in front of the Duxbury Free Library. Some people may not be concerned with vistas and landscapes but at a recent Town Meeting we voted to spend CPA money to purchase land from Kingston so our view would not be ruined. Let’s not ruin one of our own.

Education is a pendulum: One of the main debates for new construction vs. renovation is new teaching models. Designing a school based strictly on current trends is scary, if not down-right ridiculous. Since there have been text-books, each successive generation of educators believes they know the best format for teach-ing; education is a cyclical pendulum, and we are coming back around to the open-spaced 70s again. In Chandler school, the last vestiges of that era – open pits – have now been enclosed. Let us make sure we aren’t buying into the lat-est fad.

It is not easy being green: The industry standard for green construction is to recycle and reuse existing buildings. We have an opportu-nity to teach our children how adults practice the recycle/reuse philosophy they are learning in school.

We do not live in a vacuum: During School

Committee, School Building Committee, and Selectman’s meetings, I have heard people say, “Don’t bring up the fire and police buildings while discussing the school buildings.” As tax-payers we need to consider all foreseeable debt, weigh in on what we think we can afford, and vote our conscience on what we think is best for us and this town. Because in the end Duxbury may have the best fire station, police station and school buildings, but if we cannot afford to pay for the firefighters, police officers or teachers, what is the point?

Remember the PAC! Our very own white elephant should remind us never to be rushed or cajoled into voting for something. Every time I enter the building, I curse the architect for the poor design and myself for an uninformed vote. The vote that got us the Performing Art Center had similar themes, such as “we will move to the bottom of the list” and “there may not be anymore money.” It was rushed and when the dust settled the building was not even complete – and still isn’t.

In summary, the case for building new has not been made. Yes, it would be nice, but it isn’t the best choice. Let’s stop this runaway train to a co-located school, back up and really do our due diligence on a renovation. I am once again asking the School Committee to slow down, listen to public input and to remember that ac-cording to the Massachusetts Association of School Committees, a great school committee member’s first tenet is “They seek first to un-derstand – then, to be understood.”

Do we need new schools?

Duxbury has many lovely attributes which contribute to

the overall value of the town, the beach, the conservation areas, the historic nature, the architec-ture, and the overall beautiful setting of the town. One fine example of the aesthetics of Duxbury is the campus like set-ting off St. George Street, with a host of buildings organized around an open space of play-ing fields. It makes for a pleas-ing visual sense of all the build-ings having separate functions but being related in a common land area. This large area also is historically significant as the former Alden Farm, and Native American artifacts have been found in the area that date back thousands of years. In a town that prizes its children, this is the true center of the town.

One of the attributes that is sought after in new town plan-ning is a “campus setting” for school buildings. Classic cam-pus settings include Stanford, University of Virginia, and Harvard. What defines these beautiful campuses is an open space that knits all the buildings into a whole “campus setting.” Duxbury’s current campus like setting of the schools, library, pool, etc. is much sought after in designs for new towns.

One of the plans being dis-cussed in the haste to secure Commonwealth money for the new school building plan is to

co-locate the new high school and the new middle school in the central playing fields, while operating the relatively old high school and middle school during construction.

I believe this a terrible mistake for the town, and the visuals of a campus like set-ting would cease to exist. By taking away the center of the whole, and placing new large buildings, one of the nicest vi-

sual characteristics of Duxbury would be ruined. I hope other areas are seriously looked at for the new buildings in the outlay-ing fields and land. I believe the inner playing fields should be left as grass and the new construction should enhance a campus-like setting, not ruin it. I believe if the building goes forward in the center fields Duxburyites will regret the lost campus-like feel and be left without a unified setting, just another suburban hodge-podge of buildings on a historic site. Please make the center fields off limits to the designers.

The Atlantic Sym-phony opening night performance was a

rousing start to their season, and how fortunate we are that they chose Duxbury for it. The

orchestra is top-tier profession-al and we were so close to the music that orchestra, conductor and audience were as one from the start. The standing ovation was truly deserved – a sponta-

neous expression of pleasure as much as thanks. For classical music lovers, it couldn’t have been a better night out.

I am writing to thank the Duxbury Library for their help while staying

in Duxbury finishing up several books and a documentary. The staff has always gone the next mile to assist with computer challenges, location of books and sources. David in particu-lar has been extremely helpful. My brother Guy Leedom, who is an assistant baseball coach at

Duxbury High School, and my nephew who graduated some years ago always have been complimentary of the help they have received. Now I know why. Before I return to Cali-fornia, I just wanted others to know that they have a great li-brary system.

Tommy Blanchard here reporting about the 2010 Na-tional Scout Jamboree. I just want to catch everyone up on what our Jamboree Troop 535, along with thousands of other Scouts experienced at Washington, D.C. prior to the Jamboree. After the ten hour drive our troop made it to the George Mason University dor-mitories, which would be our home for the weekend.

On Sunday, we toured Washington, D.C. First we went to the enormous National Cathedral in which we attend-ed the 11:15 a.m. service. One of the ministers even talked about his experiences as a Boy Scout!

From there we went to the famous Arlington National Cemetery. We attended Boy Scout ceremonies at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, visit-ed Robert E. Lee’s house, and saw President John F. Ken-nedy’s Eternal Flame. Then we headed to the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum, where we saw the many exhibits and had lunch. Next we went to the Lincoln Memorial and read the Gettysburg Address. We also checked out the Vietnam War, Korean War, and World War II Memorials. At the end of the day, we looked up to the top

of the Washington Memorial. What an amazing sight!

Here at the Jamboree one of the many once-in-a-lifetime opportunities was rappelling down a helicopter skid at Ac-tion Center “C.” At the rap-pelling station, I met a man named Kelly who told me a very interesting story about the American Flag flying at the top of the tower there. Appar-ently this flag was flown on jet bridge 19 for United Airlines at Logan Airport in Boston. This bridge was one of the two Boston Logan jet bridges that had an aircraft depart on Sept. 11, 2001. The aircraft did not return.

There are too many events to name at the Jamboree, but one of the great ones we expe-rienced was the Five Kilome-ter Run Event in which Liam MacDonald from Duxbury was the first Scout from Troop 535 to complete the race. Con-gratulations to Liam for his hard work! Another cool event we attended was Technology Quest in which tents were set up with hands-on science and technology activities to try including running across “Oo-bleck,” a substance that is solid when hit with force but liquid when lying placidly.

At the Jamboree, a very special celebration show took place on Saturday, July

31. This show, called “Shining Light Across America” was a huge extravaganza that cel-ebrated the 100th anniversary of the Boy Scouts of America. There were so many highlights of the performance, but a few clearly stood out as the most exciting.

A rumor had been going around that a famous TV star would show up to the celebra-tion and in the end it turned out to be absolutely true. Ea-gle Scout Mike Rowe from the Discovery Channel’s “Dirty Jobs” came to give an inspiring speech about his experiences as a young, shy Boy Scout. He taught all 70,000 members of the audience that, “A Scout is clean, but not afraid to get dirty.” He also said he wants to start up a Dirty Jobs Merit badge!

Later on in the celebra-tion, Switchfoot, a famous rock band came to play some of their great music includ-ing their big hit, “Dare You to Move.”

As the Jamboree came to an end I am willing to bet that all 45,000 Scouts there would agree that that week was a huge, exciting success.

I hope all of your summers in Duxbury have been as fun as ours was at the 2010 Na-tional Scout Jamboree.

On Sunday, Oct. 24, Dux-bury Bay Maritime School had the honor of having two boats compete in the 46th Head of the Charles. The boys’ boat, with Caroline Hickey as cox-swain, featured Chris Scavon-gelli, Davis Muller, Stephen Kravitz, and Kyle Dame and came in 44th. The girls’ boat, with Kelly McElduff at the helm, won 45th place and the rowers were Katie Connolly, Brighid Davis, Greer Cully, and Emmi O’Day. The wa-ter was flat, the temperature perfect, and both boats ran a good race, even passing boats along the way. This is one of the most difficult courses in the world and our rowers had the privilege of navigating it. Congratulations to DBMS and to the coaches Kristin Mc-Carthy (boys) and Sara Paret (girls) with Chris Lee helping out as well.

‘Answer The Call’ for the DEFAs the kick-off to National Education Week, the Duxbury

Education Foundation will be holding its second annual “An-swer the Call” Phonathon Sunday, Nov. 14 through Tuesday, Nov. 16. Our first Phonathon, held last November, was a tre-mendous success. Over 500 Duxbury residents “Answered the Call” resulting in a record $40,000 in annual appeal donations – nearly half of the $85,000 in total grants awarded by the DEF last year to fund innovative programs for the Duxbury Public Schools 2010/2011 school year.

On Sunday, Nov. 14 the calls will be made between 4:30-8:30 p.m. by Duxbury students, teachers and school administra-tors. On Monday, Nov. 15 and Tuesday, Nov. 16, the calls will be made between 6-8:30 p.m. by community volunteers as well as current and past DEF Board members. Coldwell Banker, Wil-liam Raveis, and Vantage Realty have again donated their office space and phone lines to the DEF.

I’ve neglected the Art Complex Museum far too long. Tucked near the schools and library on

Alden Street, the ACM offers a quiet retreat Wednesdays through Sundays from 1 to 4 p.m. I slipped in to renew my acquaintance and to have a look at the three shows currently hanging.

“Home Grown” shows works by three artists with Duxbury roots – Abner Harris, Andrew Mowbray,

and Ned Vena. I found them a mild to moderate challenge (a good thing), more jarring than calming. Two paintings by Harris dominate the room – Birds vs. Monkeys and The Big Hill.

Their monumental size precludes their hanging in an ordinary living room as does, perhaps, their sensual tension. If Smurfette met Hieronymus Bosch, they might have honeymooned here and there in The Big Hill.

Andrew Mowbray’s quilt-like construction fabric works offer a blend of down-home sampler stitching and the pop art of film posters. I was drawn to each in varying degrees according to my love for the particular films

Dragons rack up another victoryBy mike Halloran, sports editor

[email protected]

Another non-league victo-ry by the Dragons has them at 7-0 after last Friday night’s 36-21 win over the North Quincy Red Raiders at Veteran’s Me-morial Stadium in Quincy.

It was the coldest night of the year for any Dragons’ game and that may have con-tributed to Duxbury’s occa-sional sloppy play throughout the evening.

Taking the opening kick-off out to their own 41-yard line and utilizing a hurry-up offense, the Dragons marched 59 yards in eight plays. They were aided by two penalties that allowed Duxbury to grab a 7-0 lead when junior Henry Buonagurio broke a half-doz-en tackles before falling into the end zone with 7:06 left in the first quarter.

Neither team could do much with its next possession and the ball ended up in North Quincy’s hands with 2:26 showing on the clock.

An 11-yard run by senior Mike Curran and a 16-yard pass to Mike Morrison from QB Joe Schmitz had the Red Raiders all the way down to the Duxbury 13-yard line be-fore junior defensive back Reilly Naton nailed tailback Marquis Chase for a six-yard loss back to the 19.

Senior running back Kyle McKay made up for Naton’s effort on the next down by go-ing 16 yards around the left

side all the way down to the three-yard line where Chase eventually took it into the end zone to tie the score at 7-7.

The Dragons seemed somewhat offended that the Red Raiders scored so easily, taking the kickoff to their own 40-yard line and hitting Don Weber on first down for 18 yards at the NQ 42.

Eight plays later, QB Matt O’Keefe spotted junior An-drew Buron running a slant out of the slot on the left side and hit him in stride for a 5-yard touchdown pass. Tucker Han-non set up for the extra point and took a direct snap, hitting junior Seamus Connolly in the end zone for a two-point con-version and a 15-7 lead.

The Red Raiders went nowhere on their next posses-

sion, punting the ball to their own 38 with 2:37 left in the half.

Junior Kane Haffey was now at the controls, with soph-omore tailback Jon Hurvitz set behind him.

A 14-yard run by Hurvitz, a 10-yard penalty against the Dragons, and a sack of Haffey put the ball at midfield with the clock running. Haffey found Matt Hallisey (13 yards) and Weber (10 yards) for consecu-tive first downs, while a seven-yard gain by Buonagurio and another Weber reception for 6 yards brought the Dragons down to the14-yard line.

Duxbury’s good luck came to a halt temporarily with a 10-yard penalty back to the 24 where Haffey went 8 yards on a keeper and eventually found

Hallisey in the left flat for a 21-7 lead at halftime.

The Red Raiders took the second half kick-off with a chance to get back in the game. Unfortunately, it was three and out for NQ with the Dragons taking over a punt at the Red Raider 37.

On second down, O’Keefe dropped back to pass and had his pass tipped high into the air, coming down into the arms of NQ’s McKay, who returned it 45 yards for a touchdown that cut the lead to 22-14.

Duxbury wasted little time in expanding its lead once again, as a 23-yard keeper by Haffey and a 24-yard burst by Hurvitz had the ball at the 13-yard line. Two plays later Haffey dashed into the end

depicted. In other words, I saw in Mowbray’s work only what I brought to it – a humbling moment for a poseur like me. I demanded to be delighted but found that there was only so much the artist could do, since my limitations followed me into the gallery.

Vena’s works posed the harshest challenge. I mistook them for actual heating ducts. My low-grade art history sense saw them as Op Art crossed with Trompe l’oeil, a moiré pattern masquerading as architectural reality. On closer study, they are far more complex, including features like precisely executed dents in the tiny louvers.

The second show, which runs through Jan. 16, is Simply Shaker, a fascinating collection of Shaker furniture and other artifacts – all from the ACM’s collection. Forget the pictures you’ve seen of Shaker work. Until you see them in person, their simplicity and lush joy can’t be imagined. Shaker craftsmen, volunteer Barbara Taylor explained, used only the wood that was immediately available. If it happened to be stunning tiger maple, or mahogany discarded from a ship’s ballast, so much the better. I was especially taken by the tools displayed, themselves hand-made and exquisitely sleek.

Not all of the cabinets and dressers had locks built in, but several did. It tickled me that these dedicated believers might still keep a thing or two privately – and that others might be occasionally nosey. As I understood it from the show, Shakers allowed themselves personal property, such that tools or sewing boxes belonged to individuals, and might be built for them, simple but perfectly designed.

The Rotations area, at the center of the Simply Shaker show, always shows works from the ACM collection. The current show (through Jan. 16) offers a selection of Japanese woodblock prints. I was especially taken by four works of Yoshida Hiroshi, including one of Grand Canyon (1925), a fascinating juxtaposition of a familiar American scene through the eyes of a classical Japanese artist. Unbound by the limits of carving and successively inking a woodblock, Yoshida created tremendous depth, including a looming darkness that (I swear) filled the room behind me.

You can learn to paint at the ACM. Laura Tryon Jennings will teach oil painting for adults Wednesdays, Nov. 3 through Dec. 1 from 9 a.m. to noon, and for teens from 4 to 6:30 p.m., Nov 3 through Dec 8 (one additional week). The cost is $165 plus $20 for materials. Call 781-934-6634, ext. 10, to register. The current ACM handout also announces that preschoolers and toddlers (with an adult) can enjoy Stories and Art every first Thursday at 10 a.m. for $5. This, too, requires registration at the same phone number.

There’s more to come at the ACM. The 37th Duxbury Art Association Winter Juried Show starts in February, a Boston Trio (piano, violin, and cello) concert on Sunday, Nov. 7 at 4 p.m., a Holly Days puppet show on Nov. 28 – too much at the ACM for this little column. You’ll have to go see for yourself.

Dragons’ DenSports Editor Mike Halloran • [email protected]

They say defending a title is harder than winning one. Jack Stoddard and his DHS boys’ golf team got that chance Tuesday after the Clipper had gone to press.

Led by Jonathan Stod-dard’s 74, the Dragons coast-ed to a 9-shot win over Den-nis-Yarmouth to capture the Division II South Sectional championship last Wednes-day at the Marshfield Country Club. Both schools qualified to advance to Tuesday’s state championship at the Pocasset Golf Club in Bourne.

When Stoddard came off the course and his 74 (4 bird-ies) went up on the board, the

Dragons were sitting with a 14-stroke lead over the early finishers. While that mon-strous lead didn’t hold up for the rest of the afternoon, it was a good sign for Duxbury that there was plenty of room for other members of the team not to have to play under pres-sure.

But knowing the impor-tance of staying in front of D-Y (Josh Moore/73), the rest of the team came through, as Nick Drago (75/one birdie) and James Magner (79/one birdie) broke 80 and also earned themselves a slot in the individual championship.

Also scoring for the Drag-ons was Kevin Kuckuk (81/one birdie), Cam Daley (81/one birdie), and Stephan Krall (84/one birdie), who made an incredible recovery after a rough front nine.

Other schools in the com-petition included: Falmouth and Silver Lake (323), Hing-

ham (337), Dighton-Rehoboth (338), Martha’s Vineyard (341), Case (379), and Mash-

pee (382).There were 15 teams in

Tuesday’s finals.

Doc Rivers would be hap-py if his Celtics could rebound like the Duxbury girls’ soccer team.

A come-from-behind win over Silver Lake and a come-from behind tie with New Bedford has Coach Emerson Coleman convinced his team is never out of any game.

Taking on No. 1 ranked Whitman-Hanson last Wednes-day night in Duxbury, the Lady Dragons almost pulled it off again before falling to the Panthers, 2-1.

It was Duxbury’s second one-goal loss of the season to W-H, but showed the coaching staff and all the other teams in their division that the Lady Dragons will be tough compe-tition come tournament time.

The Panthers are a scary thought with national team player Sam Mewis on the field, and it didn’t take long to show it. After a Panther rush and an eventual corner kick, Mewis was stationed 10 yards out to goalkeeper Emily Brook’s left and blasted a shot into the top right corner for a 1-0 lead just over three minutes into the contest.

At the 33:55 mark the Lady Dragons finally got their first offensive threat when Melissa Gavin came down her

left wing and fired a shot on netminder Leah Pappalardo. It would be one of the few chances Duxbury would get in the first half, as keeping Mew-is under wraps would be their primary concern.

MacKenzie Hatfield was also a force for the Panthers, and she showed it with a move down the right side that re-sulted in a W-H corner with 19:15 remaining in the half. The pressure was now on in the Duxbury end, and the Pan-thers were awarded a direct kick with 17:40 showing on the clock. Mewis lined it up from 23 yards out and blast-ed her shot, almost knocking Brook back into the net as the shot glanced off her hands for a 2-0 lead.

Mewis would have three more testing chances the rest of the half, but the Duxbury backfield of Charlotte Cipol-letti, Devan Bahr, and Meghan Woomer kept the game from becoming a runaway and Dux-bury’s hopes for a comeback alive.

“I thought Meg Woomer was outstanding,” said Cole-man. “She stepped up and sac-rificed her body, made great decisions, and covered for her teammates. I also think Laura Nee did a great job of marking Mewis.”

Trailing and overcom-ing the No. 1 team in Eastern Mass. was a daunting task, yet it didn’t seem to bother the Lady Dragons, who immedi-ately went on the offensive in the second half with an adjust-ment in its offensive align-ment.

A rush by Emily Gallagher and a centering pass to Melis-sa Galvin seemed to find some holes in the W-H defense in the first few minutes, and the Lady Dragons continued to pursue that strategy, as Hanna Dwin-nell came down the right wing and centered a pass through to the center of the field where Galvin ran it down and beat Pappalardo to cut the margin to 2-1.

Duxbury was pumped up with its newfound confidence, but the specter of Mewis was always lurking, and it took just two minutes for her to almost thrust the dagger into the heart of Lady Dragons, only to have Cipolletti make a shot-saving tackle.

The action now became two-sided, as Duxbury had a shot poked over the net by Pappalardo that resulted in a corner kick. The subsequent kick came out front, forcing the Panther netminder to make a diving save.

Brook responded with a diving save of her own, then sending the ball up field and allowing the Lady Dragons to turn the tide and fire two shots on net that rattled off the crossbar.

It was the closest Duxbury would get the rest of the way.

“I thought we had a good first half, but I thought our second half was the best of the year,” said Coleman. “It’s all about who you are play-ing. You can have good halves where you are whipping 4 or 5 goal in the net, but that was just a great game. I think we were able to put pressure on Mewis’ teammates in the sec-ond half. You aren’t going to be able to fluster her. You have to get to her teammates and I think we did that in the second half.”

Now sporting a 12-3-1 re-cord, the girls will end regular-season play on Friday when they entertain Bishop Fenwick at 4 p.m.

zone and the Dragons were comfortably ahead, 29-14, with 6:08 left in the third quar-ter.

North Quincy went no-where on its next series and punted once again with the Dragons taking over on the NQ 32. Duxbury’s offensive line of tackles Gordon Acha and Brett Harasimowicz, along with guards Rob Kosharek and Colman Duggan on either side of center Wes Dow opened up holes for Buonagurio, as the junior became the workhorse in trying to run minutes off the clock.

After six carries and a sev-en-yard reception Buonagurio was into the end zone, giving his team a 36-14 lead.

Naton made another big defensive play on fourth down to defuse any chance of a NQ comeback and the Dragons took over with sophomore QB

John Geary under center. The Duxbury drive would stall on the Red Raider 32, giving the ball back to the hosts, who sprung Curran for a 68-yard TD run down the right sideline for the game’s final points.

“I liked the fact we put together a nice drive to end the first half, but things did get sloppy in the second half.

Now our focus is on Friday night. It’s Homecoming and our first night home game of the year. A win will give us a huge step in our goal to win the Patriot League title,” said Coach Dave Maimaron.

This Friday night the Dragons will entertain Silver Lake at 7 p.m. in an important Keenan Division matchup.

They were hoping a pair of wins over Hanover would give them the league crown, but a confluence of events made life easier for the Lady Drag-ons, who repeated as Patriot League champions with an 8-1 win over Silver Lake on Friday afternoon in Kingston.

Needing to win their last three league games in order to retain their league crown, the Lady Dragons got help from Scituate and Hingham, along with a dose of rain from Moth-er Nature that made the road to the title that much easier.

There was no way to pre-dict Friday’s outcome, as there were so many variables involved in determining what was a very tight league race.

With Scituate winning over Hingham on Thursday, and the Harborwomen knock-ing off Hanover on Friday, all Duxbury needed was a win over Silver Lake on Friday

Having beaten the Lakers, 7-0, earlier in the season, there appeared little doubt that the Lady Dragons would own the title by the weekend.

After knocking off Hop-kinton, 3-1, to start the week, Duxbury took on Middleboro on Tuesday. 7-1 victims in late September, it appeared the Sachems would not be much of a challenge for Duxbury, so coaches Pam Manley and Terry Vandewater brought up some JV players for some sig-nificant playing time and they didn’t disappoint.

Identical twins Katie and Lily Smith made huge con-

tributions, with Katie scoring her first two varsity goals and Lily finding the back of the net once.

Emily Giumetti, brought up from JV for the first game with Middleboro and officially moved up to varsity, had two goals and two assists. Emily Meehan also was moved up to the varsity. Other goals came from Molly Zaverucha, Mar-tha Findley and Emilie Mun-son in the 8-0 victory.

Friday’s game with Silver Lake was played on grass and it didn’t seem to slow down the Lady Dragons, as they rode the four-goal outburst of sophomore Hannah Murphy in the win. Murphy recorded a hat-trick in a seven-minute span, with Siobhan McCarthy (2) and Molly Zaverucha (1) assisting on the goals.

Sporting a 3-0 halftime lead, the Lady Dragons started the second half with a Martha Findley goal assisted by Mur-phy, who tallied her fourth goal on a Zaverucha assist. Gi-umetti then found the back of the net on a superb pass from McCarthy.

Emmy Horton scored off an assist from Ally Hammel and Sara Varano scored on an assist from Horton in the clinching win over the Lakers.

“Both Terry and I are psyched to see the girls fin-ish their regular season with the same amount of focus, strength, and goal-scoring power that they started with,” said an enthused Manley. “Our sights are on finishing strong and feeling confident going into the post season with the highest seed possible. The girls want to finish what they’ve started.”

After tomorrow’s game with Hanover, the Lady Drag-ons will end regular-season play on Friday when they trav-el to Marshfield for a 4 p.m. encounter with the Rams.
