Duxbury Clipper 2010_31_03

By Justin GraeBer, Clipper editor [email protected]

Shawn Dahlen will be Duxbury’s next selectman, af-ter defeating Will Zachman by a vote of 2,172 to 806 during Saturday’s annual town elec-tion.

“I’m looking for-ward to making

a big difference at selectmen’s meetings,” said Dahlen after

hearing the re-sults. “This is a time

of change ... I’m happy to put the last year behind us.”

The two men were competing for an open seat left by outgo-ing board member Jon Witten, who announced earlier he would not seek re-election af-ter serving one term.

Dahlen’s background is in building, and he hopes to use that experience to help the town, especially when it

Calling for a new begin-ning on the Board of Select-men, outgoing chairman Betsy Sullivan seized on the oppor-tunity to make a change on the board by nominating new-ly-elected selectman Shawn Dahlen to be chairman min-utes after he was sworn in.

Selectmen then voted 2-1 for Dahlen to become chair-man. Selectman Christopher

Donato cast the opposing vote.

The first meeting after the town election marks the annu-al reorganization of selectmen with the chairmanship rotating to the board member serving as vice chairman. Next in line to become chairman was Do-nato, who served the past year as vice chairman.

However, Sullivan nomi-nated Dahlen, instead of Do-

DUXBURY MARKETPLACE

The Studio is pleased to have been chosen as the launch store for a new, exciting and creative line of Duxbury bags and accessories. All of the bags are adorned with nautical charts of Duxbury Bay and the men's and women's belts are monogrammed with the latitude and longitude

coordinates of our very own Powder Point Bridge.

from sales of these products will go to the non-profi t organization Children Without Borders.

Included in the collection are: Ladies and Mens belts, a handbag, a tote and a duffel with new products in development. Several of the designs

are produced for Mad Bay by the former US Cole Haan manufacturer.

Mad Bay bags and accessories would be a welcome gift for Easter, the Duxbury Bride-to-be, or for Mother's Day. Men's belts

would make the perfect Groomsmen's gift.

The wet weather is put-ting a damper on the World War I monument reconstruc-tion project.

Drivers traveling down Tremont Street can see a black-wrapped structure in front of Old Town Hall as the monument nears completi-tion, but Memorial Commit-tee Chairman Joe Shea said workers will need the rain to let up in order to finish the work.

“They need three decent weather days,” Shea said.

Voters at last year’s Town Meeting approved the use of Community Preserva-tion Act funds to restore the monument, which stood in Boomer Square before being destroyed years ago. Shea recently found the broken pieces in a shed and has led

the charge to have the monu-ment rebuilt. The memo-rial will feature a tall, flat ce-ment structure in the center, which will be engraved with the names of Duxbury resi-dents who were involved in the war. The monument will have a walkway leading to-wards it, built with engraved bricks sold as a fundraiser. The monument will also be handicapped accessible and will have benches for view-ing.

“All of the manufactur-ing is done,” said Shea. The existing pieces of the monu-ment have been put together, missing pieces re-fabricated and the names re-engraved by A Monti Granite in Quin-cy. Shea said the restored monument is encased in plas-tic and steel, but he did take a peek.

“I’ve peeled enough back

[of the plastic] to satisfy my-self .. it’s good,” he said.

The black plastic is pro-tecting a concrete and rebar interior of the monument, which Shea said will stabi-lize the structure.

Once the monument itself is up, workers will start put putting in stone, and land-scaping the area.

Shea is hoping the monu-ment itself with be finished by the end of the week. A for-mal dedication ceremony is planned for Memorial Day.

The restoration of the World War I monument is nearly complete. Drivers on Tremont Street can see the interior of the reconstructed monument in front of Old Town Hall (here wrapped as protection from the elements).

Duxbury Harbormaster Don Beers has been granted special power by the United States Coast Guard to enforce the federal security zone in the waters around the Pilgrim nuclear power station in Plym-outh.

Last week, Beers, Town Manager Richard MacDonald and the Plymouth harbormas-ter met with the Commander of the Boston Coast Guard to sign a memorandum of under-standing about how the towns will work with the Coast Guard to keep Duxbury Bay and Plymouth harbor secure. The agreement gives Beers le-gal authority to enforce federal laws and the maritime safety and security zones around Pil-grim station.

Safety and security zones delineated by buoys were es-tablished around Pilgrim Nu-clear Power Plant to safeguard it the after the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on New York City and Washington, DC. The safety and security zones close

off an area of Cape Cod Bay and land adjacent to those wa-ters near the Pilgrim Nuclear Power Plant.

No one is allowed to en-ter or move within the se-curity zone around Pilgrim without permission from the Coast Guard’s Captain of the Port. Also, no one is allowed to board any type of vessel or take or place anything on a boat or at a waterfront facility in a security zone without per-mission. The zones were im-plemented to protect workers at Pilgrim, the public, and sur-rounding communities from sabotage or other accidents or attacks at the nuclear plant.

According to a Decem-ber 2009 Homeland Security memo, all people and vessels in a safety and security zone must obey the directions and orders made by the Captain of the Port, or any other des-ignated on-scene Coast Guard representative, which will now include the Duxbury and Plymouth harbormasters.

The expanded powers al-low Beers and his officers to

take possession and control of any vessel in a security zone and/or remove any person, vessel, article or thing from a security zone, according to the memo.

Violation of a security zone can result in a criminal pen-alty of jail time for up to ten years and fines up to $100,000 or a civil penalty as much as $25,000 per violation.

The new agreement with the Coast Guard also gives Duxbury more access to Homeland Security grant money and training. MacDon-ald said Duxbury plans to ap-ply for a camera system for its harbor.

“This is a good situation for us,” MacDonald said.

Parade organizers tried for a more open, creative theme for this year’s 4th of July parade and have settled on “American Pastimes.”

“People in the community were looking for a fun theme that would be easy to make a float for.” said Joan Edgar of the 4th of July Committee. “We thought this would be good be-cause people have all kinds of activities they like to do.”

Although the parade has had more patriotic themes in recent years, including “Hats off to American heroes” two years ago, the committee really wanted to come up with some-thing that would encourage a variety of creative floats.

“Anything they’re inter-ested in can be a pastime,” Ed-gar said. “Certainly it’s not that we wouldn’t want to be patri-otic, but people would say [the theme] is a hard thing to make a float around ... We wanted to have something where people could just have fun.”

There is no hard and fast deadline for signing up for a float, but Edgar pointed out that there are a limited number of flatbeds available for groups that don’t have their own trail-er.

The committee is also seeking bands to play the an-nual beach party on July 3.

“We like to have bands that have some local connection,” Edgar said. “We’re looking for bands with a good sound, a good beach kind of sound.”

The committee usually picks two bands for the cel-ebration.

“We’re hoping to have a re-ally fun weekend,” Edgar said.

Voter at Saturday’s elec-tion approved two building projects: A $2.6 million new crematory at Mayflower Cem-etery, and $292,000 in design funds to renovate the town’s main fire station.

The crema-tory project, although more e x p e n s i v e , passed easily by a vote of 2,185 to 765.

Voters may have been able to reconcile the cost with the fact that the crematory brings in around $600,000 a year in income for the town.

The new facility will be more up-to-date, will meet safety and environmental stan-dards and will provide for pos-sible future expansion. It will also be located in a less cen-tral part of the cemetery than where the current crematory stands.

“We’re ecstatic that we had such an overwhelming majority of the voters,” said Emmett Sheehan, a member of the Crematory Building Com-mittee.

Sheehan was glad to see voters approve the project de-

spite bucking Duxbury’s tradi-tion of approving design and construction costs separately.

“We felt it would muddy the waters less,” he said. “We didn’t want to have to come back.”

The advantage of voters approving the project in its en-tirety is that the town can get right to work.

The committee and the building inspector met on Monday afternoon, and will be putting a request for proposal out to bid. Sheehan hopes that bid will be awarded within 60-90 days, and that construction will start within six months.

The other ballot question, for the work on the fire sta-tion, was less certain, but vot-ers approved the funds 1,646 to 1,296. This ends a string of frustration for the Public Safe-ty Building Committee, who for two straight years have seen fire and police station projects approved at Town Meeting only to be rejected at the ballot box. Last year, that’s what happened to a $4.5 million repair project for the fire station, and this year, the committee applied for design funds only.

Committee Chairman An-dre Martecchini said despite

the need for repairs, voters were sending a clear message to pinch every penny.

“We’re going to be look-ing at ways to reduce the cost further,” he said. “I think we did hear very clearly that cost is a major issue.”

New selectman Shawn Dahlen has vowed to help look at the project to try to find po-tential savings.

Martecchini said that pub-lic bidding laws the town has to follow can drive up the costs, and can give the false impression that the project is grander than it really is.

“The reality of public con-struction is you could do the same job, if it was a private business, for at least 25-30 percent less than in the public sector,” he said. “It’s the most archaic system ... but that’s what we live under.”

The next step will be to hire an architect so the committee can bring concrete plans back to Town Meeting next year. In the interim, every aspect of the plans will be scrutinized.

“We have a program now that works, but can it be re-duced, can it be modified?” Martecchini said. “We’ll try and do our best to cut it to bare bones.”

Marjorie Katherine Ionta, 97, died at home at the age of 97 on March 26, surrounded by her family.

Born in Mexico, Maine to Christine and Michael Ionta she was the fourth of four chil-

dren. She attended Sargent College, Boston Massa-chusetts, graduating in the Class of 1935 with a degree in Physical Education. She taught in the Wellesley and Arlington school systems at the Junior High School lev-el before following her sis-ter into Physical Therapy.

Ms. Ionta was the director of physical ther-apy at Massachusetts General Hospital from 1958 to 1981. She began her career in Physi-cal Therapy in 1945 when she was awarded the first scholarship in Physical Therapy by the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis. Ms. Ionta was also a founding member of the American Physical Therapy Association. She was active conducting seminars and teaching college courses. She is the co-author of a well known text, “Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation” which is now in its 10th edition.

She left MGH to start a Physical Therapy Department at George Washington Universi-ty Hospital, Washington DC, and from there moved to Vallejo, Calif. in order to be among the first to study the neurophysiological prin-ciples of patient treatment, proprioceptive neu-romuscular facilitation, developed by Dr. Her-man Kabat. After several years at the Kaiser

Foundation Rehabilitation Institute in Vallejo, Ms. Ionta returned to Boston and Mass Gen-eral. Soon after, she became chief physical therapist.

In addition to her administrative responsi-bilities at Mass General, Ms. Ionta had great impact on her profession by presenting many lectures and workshops on Proprioceptive Neu-romuscular Facilitation for graduate therapists throughout the U.S., and through her active in-volvement with the American Physical Therapy Association. With Stanley Paris, she founded the North American Academy of Manipulative Therapy, a forerunner of the Orthopedic Section of the APTA; she served on the National Edu-cation Committee; and she served as a Chapter President in 1971.

The Marjorie K. Ionta Award for Clinical Excellence is presented to individuals who have demonstrated growth and a consistent, ex-cellent performance coupled with outstanding humanistic qualities.

She leaves her twin sister Margaret Co-chrane of Hingham and Duxbury, Elizabeth Walker of Freyburg, ME; and many nieces and nephews.

A memorial service for Ms. Ionta will be held on Monday, April 5 at 11:30 a.m. at the Duxbury Bay Maritime School, 457 Washing-ton St. In lieu of flowers, donations may be sent to the Marjorie K. Ionta Fund at Massachusetts General Hospital: Marjorie K.

American Legion sponsors Girls State

Duxbury Legion Auxiliary 223 will select one student to attend Girls State this June and will fund the program.

This program is a unique way for young girls who are juniors in high school to learn about the American system of government by taking part in a mock governmental system. Participants are divided into two political parties that are not in any way aligned with the ideas of our actual two party system. The participants then work within their parties to elect leaders and develop a platform of ideas. The train-ing is objective and practical with city, county and state governments operated by the participants.

Girls’ State will take place at Stonehill College in Easton from June 13 through 18.

Interested students should contact Ann Reid at 781-585-3784. Applicants must be Duxbury residents but need not be students of Duxbury High School. The deadline is close.

to have emerged victorious in

her first foray into politics.“I’m very excited,” she

said Saturday night after hear-ing the results.

As a mother of three chil-dren, as well as being a high school teacher in Weymouth, Buell said she connected with people on the campaign trail.

“It’s been very busy,” she said. “I think I could relate to the voters on a lot of different levels.”

“I am just looking forward to being part of the process,” she added. “I hope we can move the district forward.”

Magnuson said hearing the results brought on a “huge sense of relief” after a long campaign.

“All of the candidates put

in a lot of work,” he said.He said he believed voters

related to his ability to make level-headed decisions.

“I think people understood I was genuine about that,” he said.

There are a lot of issues on the table for the newly-consti-tuted School Committee, in-cluding the selection of a new superintendent, a process that is already partially underway, and the always complicated budget.

“I’m looking forward to getting to the task at hand,” he said.

The first meeting for the newly-constituted school board will be April 14.

A backyard barbecue? miChelle Conway, Clipper Columnist

Without a doubt, utilizing ingredients sourced lo-cally will bring flavor and pizazz to your table. Taking time to ask your butcher, produce man-

ager or fishmonger the origin of your food will guarantee that your meal will be created with the freshest ingredients with a low carbon footprint.

Next time you are yearning for local food, look no further than your own back yard. Squirrel gets high marks for nutri-tional value, an A+ for low carbon footprint and is cost effec-tive. Abundant year round, squirrel is high in iron and protein. Unfortunately, like its red meat counterparts, squirrel is disappointingly high in cholesterol and so should be a smaller part of a well balanced diet.

“Something Wild Cook-book, a Collection of Sim-ply Wonderful Recipes” declares that squirrel meat is “finely textured with little if any of the flavors generally associated with wild game.” An excellent substitute for chicken “even the most discriminating palate will have a hard time discerning the difference between chicken and squirrel.” Certainly a fair taste comparison would have to be chicken on the bone versus squirrel. Store bought boneless, skinless chicken could hardly compare to the succulence of wild squirrel.

Our across the pond neighbors in the UK have rediscov-ered the joy of squirrel meat so it is probably only a matter of time until one can purchase frozen squirrel meat online. In the meantime, hunt your own.

Bagging squirrel is a test of patience but the still and quiet nature of the hunt can have its own simple merits. Game and Fishing Magazine recommends “sitting quietly with your back against a tree trunk, one that is shaped just right is the best way to put squirrel in your game pouch.” This technique is medita-tive and requires little effort, but might not yield enough squir-rel for a larger family. Their Web site, gameandfishmag.com outlines a variety of strategies for bringing home the desired amount of squirrel.

The hunting blogs are full of contradictory recommenda-tions on which gun to use when squirrel hunting. A .22 caliber shotgun is the weapon of choice for many, while the purists who prefer their meat without shotgun pellets, use a bow and arrow. Others use a squirrel trap and peanut butter. Do your research, choose the technique you are most comfortable with and, most importantly, make yourself familiar with local laws in regards to hunting before you set out.

comes to the fire station reno-vation project, design funds for which were approved at the ballot on Saturday.

“I really want to push to get that job done for substantially less,” he said, adding that he was looking for a “moderate renovation.”

He also said he wants to make sure the town’s other capital priorities are not ne-glected.

“There definitely has to be a police station,” he said.

He noted that the town has several other building issues looming on the horizon, such as new schools, and wants to avoid clustering big projects together.

“I’m interested in looking into the state of the buildings issue,” he said.

Dahlen also said he is in-terested in working with the School Committee to see if the town can save money by pool-ing resources.

“We have an opportunity to bring these boards togeth-er,” he said. “I think there are a lot of opportunities there,” he said.

Also at the election, Friend Weiler, Sr., defeated Greg Hunter for the position of town moderator.

Weiler said he’ll jump feet first into committee appoint-ments, pointing out if there’s no fall special Town Meeting he’ll actually be running for the position again before he has a chance to bring the gavel down on his first annual Town Meeting next spring.

“I’ll start pumping those Talent Bank forms out there,” he said.

His first order of business, however, was to declare that he won’t be wearing a bow tie –– something that had be-come outgoing Moderator’s Allen Bornheimer’s trademark –– behind the Town Meeting podium.

“It’s not me,” Weiler said Saturday.

He is excited about the chance to put his own stamp on the time-honored tradition of Town Meeting.

“I am just tickled pink about being in front of Town Meeting,” he said.

is one of only 14 groups in-vited to play. The event is not a competition –– the student ensembles sent in a tape to a panel of judges, and the privi-lege of playing on one of the most storied music stages in the country is its own reward.

“It’s like the all star game,” said senior trumpet player Buzz Ryan.

“Being able to play at Car-negie Hall is really special,” said music teacher Jim Vinci. “I saw a lot of great players there ... I think it’s inspiration-al for me as a teacher and for the students as well.”

The ensembles will each play about four songs, or 30 minutes of music, and Dux-bury’s selections are mostly collegiate or high-level high school pieces.

The trip is the culmination of the musical careers for sev-eral seniors, whose musical lives began as fifth graders.

Ryan said he was drawn to the trumpet after hearing the braying horns in the Raiders of the Lost Ark theme.

“I thought that was the coolest thing,” he said. “It’s more like the instrument grabbed me.”

“Music is an outlet where I can just get away from every-thing,” added clarinet player Katie Griffin.

Viola player Maria Varonko started playing her instrument when she wanted to join the school orchestra.

“I feel like it’s a really awe-some opportunity,” she said of the Carnegie Hall trip.

For DHS students, the music program is an essential part of high school life. Vinci pointed out that 40 percent of high school students play an instrument, and said that his department has made every ef-fort to reach out to kids who don’t traditionally mix with

the band geeks, like athletes. (Griffin, for example, plays three sports.)

“It’s taken years, now we have three bands at all differ-ent levels,” Vinci said. “We have 100 string players in the high school. Most high schools are lucky to have 30.”

And it’s not just the stu-dents who are excited about the opportunity to play on the famous stage this week.

“Acoustically it’s one of the greatest places to play,” said Jill Norenberg. “How many people have stood on the podium I’m conducting on ... it’s kind of overwhelming.”

Members of the string ensemble perform at a recent concert.

The DHS Wind Ensemble recently performed during All States at Seaport Hotel and Convention Center. They will be heading to Carnegie Hall along with the string ensemble.

nato, because she said it was time for the board to make a fresh start.

“I’ve given this a lot of thought,” said Sullivan. “We’ve had a bit of troubled past this year. I’ve been listening to all the different back and forth of the candidates, and the over-whelming theme was a new beginning, a fresh start. And I think that is important. Because of that, I think it would serve the board well to have Shawn as our chairman and I’d like to nominate him as chair.”

Sullivan said Dahlen would not have any problems leading the Board of Selectmen.

“He can handle the job,” Sullivan said. “He’s been on committees for 20 years, and he knows how to run a board. I think it would be a great fresh beginning for this board to start with him as our public face.”

Sullivan and Dahlen voted for the nomination. Donato voted against it.

Donato also opposed the motion to have Sullivan be-come vice chairman and didn’t vote for another motion that made him clerk of the board.

However, he did not say any-thing about these votes during or after the meeting.

Afterwards, Sullivan said there is precedent on the Board of Selectmen for not having the vice chairman become the next chairman, although she did not cite a specific instance.

After the vote, Dahlen took over the gavel and ran the rest of the short meeting.

“I’m very happy to be here and I hope to take this oppor-tunity to move forward and do good things for the communi-ty,” he said.

When reached Tuesday, Donato said he was unaware that Sullivan planned on buck-ing established procedure to nominate Dahlen for chair-man.

“It was a surprise,” Do-nato said. “They changed the rules basically. But that’s life. I just hope it reveals to people what really goes on behind the scenes.”

Donato said he “would do his best” to work with Dahlen and would continue to serve the people of Duxbury as a se-lectman and always put their needs first.

“There have been some bit-ter fights in the past, but that’s part of the political process,” Donato said. “I always put what I think is in the best inter-est of the town first and I will continue to do so.”

In other business, select-men:

• Approved an event permit for the Best Buddies Challenge bicycle ride on June 5 with a rest stop at the Duxbury Senior Center.

• Declared a bonus shell-fish season for commercial harvesting of quahog and soft shell clams for April and a rec-reational season for oysters for Wednesdays in April. Select-men also stated that commer-cial shellfish applications can only be submitted in April. Ap-plications are available at the Board of Selectmen’s office. All applicants must be Dux-bury residents and have a state commercial fisheries license.

• Announced that trans-fer station stickers will expire Wednesday and that residents may download the permit ap-plication by logging in to the town’s Web site or visiting the treasurer/collector’s office.

Blue Fish SpecialBy fahy ByGate, Clipper Columnist

Well, March came in like a lion and it is going out like a lamb. And in between the rain has been ex-traordinary. What’s that expression? Good weath-

er for ducks? Well that is exactly what we are witnessing at the Blue Fish River. Only this time it isn’t exactly ducks.

Last week I got a call from a friend who was out late walk-ing his dog. As he approached the bridge at the river his dog be-came excited because right in front of them were over two dozen large forms running across the bridge. Under a bright, nearly full moon he could see them clearly and he was astonished! Fla-mingoes! The birds were flamingoes and they were very large. Their long legs and strange heads were unmistakable although

he could not get a good look at the hot pink feathers. Before he could catch his breath, they were gone. They struggled over the side of the bridge and dropped

down into the river. He watched as they swam under the bridge, squawking and squealing. He looked over the other side of the bridge and there was no sign of them. Apparently they were hud-dling under the bridge to escape being seen.

As soon as I heard this extraordinary story I grabbed my binoculars and headed to the bridge but it was daylight by then and I saw no sign of them. I parked near the bridge and got out of my car. It was a sunny day but very cold and windy. Just as I approached the bridge a small pink feather blew past my face. I grabbed it and examined it closely. It was definitely a flamin-go feather but there was something unusual about it. Instead of the typical hot pink feather with white edging, this feather was pink with silvery edging. Shiny silver! And it gave the feather a shimmery effect. Now I was entranced. What did an entire bird of this plumage look like?

I climbed down the side of the river bank and peered into the dark shelter of the bridge. At first I saw nothing but then as my eyes became adjusted to the gloom I noticed several small spots of light. Gradually the lights became eyes! The bright eyes of dozens of tall, shimmery pink flamingoes huddled together against the wall of the underside of the bridge. As I came closer the birds shifted and muttered to themselves. They were clearly frightened. I backed off and waited until they settled down. One by one they became calmer. Soon they were asleep with their necks laid across their backs, their heads under their wings. The group was a soft mass of silvery pink.

Back at the car I called Don Chewbyit at the Massachusetts Committee on Rare Birds. Don told me that the strange silvery sheen on the birds meant that this species of flamingo is the Sil-ver-tipped Domingo Flamingo. It has been seen in Massachu-setts before (April 1966 at Fall River; April 1934 in Sandwich) but never more than one or two birds at one time. I estimated that Duxbury is hosting at least 75 if not more of these extraor-dinary creatures.

The best time to see the Silver-tipped Domingo Flamingo is at dusk when they emerge from under the bridge to feed in the marsh on either side of the bridge. Please be quiet and do not park directly on the bridge. Do not give the birds any food other than banana peels. For some unknown reason, this species of tropical bird not only enjoys banana peel but their digestive tract demands that they eat them regularly. Since Duxbury has no banana trees for them to access, they may be in jeopardy from the lack of potassium that banana peels provide.

Enjoy this special visitor. They will probably move on dur-ing the next full moon.

Happy April 1st.

Congratulations to the winners –– and ‘losers’We congratulate all the winners in Saturday’s

election. They all worked hard, campaigned well, and deserve their victories. But here at the

Clipper, we always have a soft spot for the so-called “losers,” the also-rans. So here’s to those who ran and lost on Saturday, a nod to those who participated in the democratic process even if the results weren’t what they wanted.

There’s nothing worse in an election, for a voter, than not having a choice. Unopposed candidates have to campaign less, so there’s less of a chance for voters to hear about each candidate’s stand on the issues. Good, honest and open debate benefits us all. It’s been fascinating to listen to all the debates and read the written responses in the pages of the Clipper. All the candidates brought good ideas to the table, and we hope to see the “losers” around, continuing to contribute to the town in other ways.

So thanks to Will Zachmann for giving voters a choice in the selectmen’s race. Thanks to Colleen Brayer and Christine McLaughlin for their efforts in running for School Committee, and thanks to Greg Hunter for running for moderator. You were all worthy candidates who gave voters an excellent choice at the polls on Saturday. Such an active democratic process is a strong sign of Duxbury’s political health moving forward, and we hope it continues far into the future.

–– J. Graeber

Will the fire station fix finally become reality?

I am honored and hum-bled to have been elected to the Duxbury

School Committee. I am thank-ful for the opportunity to work toward a brighter educational future for our kids and our

community and will work hard toward this end for the next three years.

Thank you to Colleen Bray-er, Gary Magnuson, and Chris-tine McLaughlin for running and for being terrific competi-

tors. Thank you to my commit-tee, my supporters, and to all the voters of Duxbury for being part of the democratic process.

‘Humbled’ by voters’ choice ———————

As a first-time can-didate I was un-prepared for the

campaign process or the work involved. However, I was amazed by the willingness of many people in Duxbury to work tirelessly on all of the details required for a success-ful campaign. While the last few weeks have been exhaust-ing, I was continually revital-ized by the positive energy and feedback that I received from people I met in town. A sincere thank you to all of my volun-teers and supporters – I could not have done this without your help.

I also want to thank the other School Committee candi-dates. They worked extremely hard and I have truly enjoyed getting to know them and lis-tening to their plans for our schools. I appreciate their ded-ication to the kids of Duxbury and their willingness to volun-teer to make a difference.

Thank you in advance to the three existing School Com-mittee members and Mary Lou Buell for your upcoming hard work during the next few years as we tackle the work ahead for the committee. I am look-ing forward to getting to know you all better and working with

you. I am confident that as a team, we can meet the chal-lenges ahead.

Finally, I need to thank the voters of Duxbury. I was sur-prised and overwhelmed by the election results. You have shown your confidence in me and have given me the oppor-tunity to help lead our schools; now it is my responsibility, along with the other School Committee members, to make sure the Duxbury Schools keep striving for excellence.

A note of thanks to Duxbury ———————

While the final out-come was not what I had hoped

for, it was indeed a privilege to run for one of the two vacant School Committee positions. I congratulate our two newest members, Gary Magnuson and Mary Lou Buell, for a well- run campaign and final victory. I look forward to their contri-butions and wish them much success. In addition, I applaud Colleen Brayer for her continu-ous hard work and energy and am certain she will remain an active participant in issues con-cerning our schools, just as I plan to do.

I feel fortunate to have had the support of my wonder-ful family in this endeavor, as well as the tireless energy of

so many friends, especially my campaign team who gave un-selfishly of their time, talent, and humor. Your efforts were unparalleled. I am proud and honored to have had you stand with me.

This election was a personal journey where I worked hard to use all of my experiences, first as a parent of four children, as a native Duxbury citizen who has seen change in growth in our community over the years, and finally as an attorney who has worked as a change agent and negotiator dedicated to find-ing good solutions to difficult challenges. I offer my heart-felt thanks to those of you who recognized my experiences as a strength and sustained me in my quest—financially, emo-

tionally, and by voting for me. Over the last few months

I have discussed ideas, view-points, and the goals of our schools with many of you, some of whom I had just met for the first time and others whom I have known for a long time. It was a great experience and I will remember all of our discussions in my future efforts to support our schools in any way I can. I remain committed to working with all interested parties in making our schools a model for other districts to emulate.

Again, I thank you for your belief in me and I am humbled to have had the support of so many of you.

A privilege to run for School Committee ———


Pleased to be your ‘trusted intermediary’

By Tony ChamBerlain Clipper omBudsman

Whenever I ran into David Cutler throughout the last four decades, our talk inevitably came around to the same topics: striper fishing and

newspapers –– two shared passions that led us always into the seemingly inexhaustible conversation.

Around these parts, striper fishing needs little explanation as to its fanatical following. But about the newspapers, David had some very nuanced views. He had worked as a reporter for the suburban Quincy Patriot Ledger, was an avid reader of the Globe and the New York Times. And these mass market papers always clarified his vision of the mission of the local community newspaper, and its vital importance.

It was not simply a digest of local meetings and school bus routes –– though those items can be found in the Duxbury Clipper. So too, set items such as the police log, school honor rolls, and profiles of the town election candidates.

But the whole of a community newspaper is more than a sum of its parts, more than mere information enlightening us about the town in which we live. The community newspaper

holds up a mirror that not only reflects that town but lets us find ourselves in the reflection.

In the sad days around the time of David’s death, his son Josh asked me if I would consider acting as an ombudsman for the Clipper. He and David had talked about the possibility and necessity for such a role. My background and (I suppose) longevity in these parts made me a likely candidate. I was flattered and honored to be asked, especially at time when we were reflecting on the immense contribution David and his family had made to Duxbury over the years.

Before my 27 years in the sports department at the Boston Globe, I worked as a feature writer for the Sunday magazine and then in the newsroom as a reporter of suburban news and features. This career developed, along with years of teaching English and writing classes at DHS, after my wife Lyn and I moved to Duxbury in 1967.

Before giving an answer, it seemed a good idea to figure out just what an ombudsman is and does. That fanciful word – of Swedish descent from the ancient Norse – is far more prosaic than it sounds. It means simply “agent” but more fully, “a trusted intermediary” between an organization (newspaper) and its constituents (readers).

In plainest language, the ombudsman investigates complaints from readers and acts as the intermediary to resolve them. My old friend Jack Thomas was the Globe’s ombudsman for many years, and would often share the highlights (and some humor) of his job, as he responded to everything from perceived anti-religious bias in the paper to ink stains on readers’ fingers. One reader was so obsessively disturbed by the comic strip Zippy he had to cover it each day with a cardboard cutout. Of course he wanted it dropped from the paper under threat of (what else?) a cancelled subscription. The point is, Thomas looked into as many complaints as he could, and gave the plaintiff as honest an answer as he could find, even if it proved critical of the Globe.

I have heard people complain that they have no access to the newspaper they read, that a low percentage of letters ever gets to print, that reporters and editors simply brush off their complaints.

To the extent this is true, the last place for even the perception to exist is at the level of local newspaper. And this is where the role of ombudsman comes in – to facilitate communication, to ask questions on behalf of readers and seek satisfactory answers.

For this opportunity – to work in some small capacity in the affairs, issues, and news reporting in my hometown, and all that the word entails – I am extremely thankful.

I wanted to comment on an issue that was raised in my mind recently by

our town elections. This is an issue that has been bothering me for the last few elections. I want to know why photo iden-tification does not have to be presented at polling locations when voting in local, state, or federal elections. This should concern all citizens as we are now living in an era of election fraud and identity theft. We know identity theft can destroy our good credit and take money out of our pocket but election fraud does much worse because it has the potential to destroy our democracy. It is my under-standing in speaking with the town clerk, Nancy Oates, that she has not been asked or given the authority to request photo identification prior to allowing

a registered voter to cast their ballot. I am told these poli-cies fall under the responsibil-ity of Massachusetts Secretary of State William Galvin who oversees elections. It would be very easy for someone to obtain the registered voter list and then walk into the Dux-bury Middle School gym (poll-ing place) and simply give the name and address of anyone on that list, cast a fraudulent ballot, and exit without being questioned. The town clerk tells me that we have never had voter fraud here in Duxbury but how do we know? If someone were to fraudulently cast a vote by assuming the name of a le-gitimate voter and that same voter never came in to vote themselves then how would anyone know this was a mis-cast vote? While I personally

don’t think the problem is nec-essarily present in our commu-nity I do know there have been cases of election fraud around the country and some as part of an organized attempt to swing an election. I am sure we all re-member the hanging chad’s in Florida that had an impact on a presidential election. There have been other close elections decided by very small margins like the Minnesota senatorial election in which the outcome was ultimately determined by a few hundred votes. This is-sue could, however, hit home as many of our local elections are routinely determined by a very small margin. Aren’t our elections important enough to our democracy to take the nec-essary safeguard of asking for a photo ID?

I want to thank Lisa Dem-bowski, director of the guidance department,

along with the high school ad-ministrators, who recently have made changes in the scholar-ship application process for graduating seniors.

Last year, I pointed out some problems with the process and made constructive sug-

gestions as to how the system could be improved. These indi-viduals considered my sugges-tions and made the appropriate changes, thereby creating uni-form application procedures, and subsequently expediting the process, allowing more students to be eligible for local scholarships. I congratulate and thank them for their ability to

listen and analyze the pertinent information, and then make the necessary changes to improve the school’s practices. I believe everyone will benefit in the end and it is great to know they lis-tened.

Having a beverage cart at North Hill Golf Course de-

livering beer while people are playing golf is one of the worst proposals I’ve ever heard of. Does this mean that our over-sized and flabby population

can’t restrain itself during the few hours of playing golf from imbibing? From snacking?

What message does this give to our teenage golf-ers? Who is going to pick up the trash that will be blowing around the course after such an

“outing?”Please put that suggestion

in the “deleted file” where it belongs.

To the Duxbury com-munity: We would like to express our

deepest thanks to our friends, neighbors, the Duxbury Clip-per, the First Parish Church, Holy Family Parish, and the Duxbury community for your

sustaining support after the death of our daughter, Jamie. We have received your kind words; visits to our home; food; flowers; hours of cooking, cre-ative work, and organization for Jamie’s celebration of life; and your presence at the celebra-

tion. As low as we have fallen in grief, we have been pulled up by your care and love.

With love and profound appreciation,

Bob, Debbie, and Abram Neal

What is the rea-son why teenag-ers “can’t get to

sleep at night, can’t get up in the morning, and are drowsy in class?” Scientists and doc-tors have the answer. All mam-mals including humans have an internal clock that runs on a 24-hour cycle call a circadian rhythm. Among other things, this clock affects when you’re awake and when you’re asleep. Fortunately, an individual’s cir-cadian rhythm can be reset to get back in sync with the cycle of light and dark.

Daylight and exposure to morning sun are the best cures for being tired during the day. According to scientists, if you get morning sunlight, the body’s clock shifts earlier so you’re wide awake when it’s light outside and you’re tired when it’s dark. In short, being an early riser perpetuates itself.

A recent segment on NPR focused on sleep-deprived fam-ilies. Researchers found that

some teenagers were getting roughly half the recommend-ed hours of sleep per night, staying awake late watching TV, surfing the Web, etc. This translates to those teens going to school without the amount of sleep they require.

Brown University Profes-sor Mary Carskadon, whose doctorate is in neuro and be-havioral sciences from Stan-ford, studies circadian timing and wake-sleep patterns in teens. She says that while teens may be less sensitive to light in the morning and more sen-sitive to light in the evening, that doesn’t mean that staying up late is a good idea for them. Furthermore, nighttime use of computers, TVs, and other electronic devices that emit light can drive a teen’s clock later and later.

Pediatricians who treat sleep problems advise that teens who are struggling to get up in the morning may need help re-setting their internal clocks to

get back in sync with the day-night cycle outside. They rec-ommend a gradual shift, get-ting up a bit earlier each day, which eventually leads to going to bed earlier and being able to get to sleep. This includes not sleeping excessively late on weekends, which undermines the body’s ability to readjust.

Doctors also prescribe avoiding certain types of light late into the night, which means no computers or TVs in bed-rooms; and finally going out-side and getting 10 to 15 min-utes of morning light or being in school buildings designed to provide lots of natural light. This advice has worked, with teens successfully adjusting their sleep-wake cycle, feeling more awake during the day, im-proving their grades, and most importantly getting enough sleep.

On Thursday March 11, the Duxbury Teachers’ Asso-ciation (DTA) held a special “bridge-building celebration” reception at Cancun Restau-rant. New 2009-2010 staff members; their teacher-men-tors; June 2010 retirees; those with thirty years plus, but not retiring; district-wide admin-istrators; central office and School Committee members, and the DTA Executive Board were invited to celebrate those starting their careers in Dux-bury and those who’ve enjoyed a long and fruitful career with the Duxbury schools. Also cel-ebrated, in absentia, was our own Duxbury candidate for Massachusetts Teacher-of-the-Year, Rachel Stadelmann. The DTA prides itself on being vi-able, visible, and valuable to the school community-at-large and hopes to make its August new teacher reception and mid-year celebration annual events.

The DTA congratulates Rachel Stadelmann on her se-lection last week as one of ten, state-wide, semi-finalists for Massachusetts Teacher-of-the Year. In response to a congrat-ulations email from the DTA, Rachel stated, “I grew up in Duxbury and have had several teachers in elementary school through high school (my beau-tiful, gifted mother included) who inspired me to first be-come a teacher. This is really an honor I share with every-

one. If not for the education I received, and the amazing teachers and administrators from Duxbury who played a huge role in my (at times very bumpy) journey I could have gone down a completely dif-ferent road. I love what I do, I love the people I work with, and I love that I was given a chance to be a teacher in this town. I feel really blessed.” The DTA is grateful to the par-ents for recognizing Rachel with their nomination.

DTA holds reception

The Duxbury Interfaith Council, Sustainable Duxbury, the First Parish

Church (Unitarian/Universalist), and especially DIC member Liz Polvinen all kicked off this year’s Earth Day observances with a concert by singer-songwriter Jim Scott, accompanied by percussionist Mark Kohler. Jim and Mark captivated the small but dedicated audience Sunday afternoon, March 21, roughly the first day of

spring.Earth Day is actually April 22

every year, but DIC member Carol Langford explained to me that they wanted to prime the pump, so to speak, by starting things early. They couldn’t

have picked a more spring-like day. In fact – and you all know who you are – many suspected that “small but dedicated” was shaped in part by a sizable number of winter-weary souls taking advantage of the warm weather to start their own “earth days” working in their yards.

Earth Day celebrates its 40th anniversary this year. Mildly controversial through that history, stodgy Americans should take comfort in the fact that the Environmental

We Now Accept Credit Cards

By mike Halloran, sports editor [email protected]

Long gone are the days when Big Papi and Manny Ramirez were cranking out three-run homers that brought the Fenway faithful to their feet. The same can be said of the 2010 Duxbury High School baseball team.

After a season in which the Dragons scored 174 runs in 22 games, fan excitement will be much more subdued by the of-fense of this year’s squad.

Pitching and defense will take center stage if Duxbury is to be a major player in the Patriot League. The departure of Shane DiBona, Sean Cross, Tyler Genereux and Jack Gar-rity has left a sizeable hole in the middle of the Dragon bat-ting order, and Coach Barney Earle will be relying on pitch-ers Jeff and Steve Blout to keep the opposition from put-ting pressure on the Duxbury offense.

“It’s definitely going to be different than last year,” said Earle. “The key for us will be to get men on base for our hit-ters to knock some runs in.”

While Duxbury does re-turn 10 seniors, it only has two proven hitters in captains Matt Savard and Pat McWilliams.

“Our pitching needs to keep us in every game,” said Earle. “We don’t have the type of offense where we can be down and expect to have an explosive inning that will get us back in the game.”

Captain Jeff Blout is com-ing off a 5-3 season in 2009 that saw him fan 75 batters in 48 1/3 innings.

“Jeff is consistently in the mid-80s with his fastball and he can be dominating,” said

his coach. “He also throws a slider and a curve, and Assis-tant Coach Tim Bush is work-ing with him on his change-up.”

Sibling Steve finished last year at 4-1 and will man the second slot, where his slider is his out pitch.

The third slot in the rota-tion is up for grabs, but sopho-more Sam Jacobsen looks like he has the lead.

“He’s always around the plate and just knows how to get people out,” said Earle

Starting catcher Joe Coyne will also get a shot on the mound, along with senior Tom Kazanowski.

When Jeff Blout is not on the mound you’ll find him covering first base, with senior Tommy Drummy and junior Jake Carlton taking over when he pitches.

Drummy will be a handy player for Earle because of the new Federation rule that al-lows for substitutions to return to the game. “He’s the fastest kid on the team, so I’m sure I’ll use him to pinch run and steal some bases.”

The Bowdoin-bound Sa-vard will handle the duties at second base and is one of Duxbury’s few proven power hitters.

“He’s our most athletic player and can hit with power to all fields,” says Earle. “He can be explosive and can hit it out of the park.”

Steve Blout is a solid short-stop and Earle feels the senior has power potential to help the middle of his batting order.

Senior Connor Inglis looks set at third base and could be a damaging hitter in the order.

“He came in bigger and

stronger this year. He rarely strikes out and is a solid line drive hitter,” says Earle.

McWilliams has been a steady outfielder throughout his high school career.

“He’s one of our power guys. He can drive the ball to all fields and has a strong arm in left.”

Centerfielder Tom Guil-foile gets to everything accord-ing to his coach and is a spray hitter who makes contact all the time, while the right field spot is up for grabs between junior Jake Wong and senior Greg O’Neal.

“Jake is mechanically sound defensively and is a solid line drive hitter, while Greg has been very impressive in the hitting cage during the preseason.”

Coyne will get to survey

Dragons fit the Red Sox mold

Protection Agency was a Richard Nixon creation. EPA’s website has a variety of snazzy Earth Day activities, including curriculum guides and related materials. I had to use the “search” function to find the Earth Day stuff on the site, but once I was there, it was rich and interesting. I may have just overlooked an easier “button” on the EPA home page (www.epa.gov).

Jim Scott gave a fine performance. As a true singer-songwriter, he relies largely on his own compositions. As a folk singer, he gives his own special tones and twists to any old standards that he sings. Moreover, he’s a marvelous storyteller. In a long, fascinating run-up to his song “The Braided Rug,” Jim told us the rich story of his mother, his profound respect for her and her pioneering activism for the environment, peace, women, and what I would call committed mindfulness and love. The rug was a years-long project of hers, and in Jim’s story, a running history of his family’s life and his coming of age. Begun when he was a boy of 10, the rug absorbed all the cast-offs of clothing, curtains – anything – that came his mother’s way. The rug grew into a family icon. It wove all the milestones, the “triumphs and the losses,” into the visible remnants of the fabric of days. Rather, his mother wove those moments into it.

“Hey, where’s my coat from last winter?” Jim joked. “Oh! There it is…” and he pointed to the remembered spiral on the floor at his feet, along with “Grandfather’s best suit, until he took his leave.”

In his song, the chorus said it all: “This is the way that dreams are made, out from the center and follow the spiral dance of the braid.”

Jim now has the big rug (his brother got “the little one”), but his song shared it with all of us.

Back at the first Earth Day in 1970, Jim was a guitarist and arranger with the U.S. Army Band in their “Jazz Ambassadors” group, based in Washington, DC. Following his discharge his career included composition, performance, and teaching all the way up to his present busy schedule of an average of 120 appearances a year, along with his recording career (all from his Web site at www.JimScottMusic.com). You can also check out his CDs, read his poetry (the lyrics), and hear a few clips of his songs at the site – along with buying his albums. Click on his album “Sailing With the Moon.” You can read the whole poem, “The Braided Rug,” and hear a clip of “May Your Life be as a Song,” the haunting bossa nova Jim used to close his concert. You can read that poem as well, but I’ll leave you with Jim’s words, “My wish for you now as we part is for greater peace to fill your heart, with dreams as vast as starry space so hurt and anger hold no place.”

Girls hockey try-outsThere will be a tryout on April 1 at 5:20 p.m. at The BOG

in Kingston for any girl who is interested in playing hockey next year. The tryouts are for those girls born in the years 1998 through 2002. If you have any questions contact Wendy Barker Smith at [email protected]. To register for the try-out, go to Duxburyyouthhockey.org

the field from behind home plate, and based on the opinion of Earle, he is one of the best catchers to come through DHS since he has been coaching.

“He’s really strong defen-sively. Not a lot gets by him, he has a strong arm, and he calls a good game. At the plate he is a solid hitter who makes good contact and has the po-tential to be our No. 3 hitter.”

When Coyne takes the mound, Jimmy Landry will move behind the plate and has been swinging a hot bat in the pre-season.

Pat Sweeney will add some depth and versatility to the bench as an outfielder and at catcher.

If there is one thing that makes Earle lose sleep at night it is the possibility that his ex-perienced hitters can go into a slump at once.

“Last year we had five or six kids that could pull us out of one if it happened, but now there will be a lot of pressure on our pitchers not to fall be-hind and some days they just won’t have it,” said Earle.

The Dragons will certainly face pressure in their opener on Monday afternoon at 4 p.m. when they take on Division II Eastern Mass champion Plym-outh North on the road.

Legion Baseball Registration

All residents of Duxbury and Marshfield, born after January 1, 1991, are eligible to try-out for the 2010 Dux-bury American Legion Base-ball team. This program is for players attending Duxbury or Marshfield HS, as well as pri-vate high schools. Candidates are requested to pre-register for the tryouts that will be held in May, including returning players from last year’s team. Mail your name, address, date of birth, telephone number, e-mail address, and a description of your baseball experience to: Peter M. Bizinkauskas Gen-eral Manager, P.O. Box 349, Duxbury, MA 02331, or e-mail this information to: [email protected]


Dragons’ DenSports Editor Mike Halloran • [email protected]


The Duxbury boys’ ten-nis team will be relying on experience at the top of the lineup, as it tries to improve on its sectional final run of last season. After that surpris-ing tournament showing, the 2010 season is full of high expectations, and returning starters in all three singles positions should mean trou-ble for Dragon opponents.

Leading the way will be junior captain Brayden Mi-nahan, who will take on ev-ery team’s top player at No. 1 Coming off an All-Scholas-tic season in 2009, Minahan will have his hands full, as he takes on the elite players in of southeastern Massachusetts. Minahan’s strength is his ability to use sharp ground strokes to open up forward approaches.

“We are lucky to have a player of Brayden’s ability in the No. 1 spot,” said Coach John Bunar. “And it’s great to also have a leader of his caliber in that spot.”

Sophomore Peter Munc-ey, who could be the No. 1 player for many high school teams, returns to man the No. 2 singles position. He’ll no longer be able to sneak up on opponents, as the word is out on how strong the Drag-ons’ No. 2 player is. After a busy winter honing his skills, it looks like Muncey has the ability to wear down nearly any No. 2 singles player in the state with his athletic all-court play and tenacity.

“Pete came out of the blue last year and has really made a difference in the com-petitiveness of our program. I don’t think we would have anywhere near the goals we do without him in the No. 2 hole,” said Bunar.

A known luxury of coach-ing the Dragon tennis team is the expectation of skilled freshmen joining the ranks each season. This year is no exception, as Dan Coakley and William Kingsbury have shown they have refined skills. Kingsbury’s smooth power and Coakley’s quick-ness may very well be a fac-tor this season.

If there are to be any challenges for the Dragons, it could come from perennial Patriot League power, Hing-ham, and non-league oppo-

nent, Cape Cod Academy. The runner-up in last year’s Division III state finals re-turns most of its immensely talented team from 2009 and promises to provide a tough opener for Duxbury.

The No. 3 singles slot presents an interesting chal-lenge for Bunar.

“I have to balance the skill in the three-hole with the need to get two cohesive and aggressive doubles teams on the card,” said the Duxbury coach.

“Even with plenty of tal-ent there, the difficulty for me will be to put together the lineup with the best chance of success against the elite teams in the state.”

After a successful cam-paign at No. 3 last year, soph-omore Connor O’Keefe looks to be the leading candidate for the position. O’Keefe will once again be relied upon to use his all-court consistency to put a point in the book for the Dragons.

“Connor does a good job of executing every shot and players like that are tough to beat at No. 3 singles,” said Bunar.

Both doubles slots have not yet been decided, but it is not for lack of talent.

“We have more speed, size and power in doubles than we have had in a long time,” says the Duxbury coach. “We’ll be playing serve and volley tennis on both swings because of how athletic we are.”

Senior captains Steve Day and Peter Tenaglia join ju-niors Ben Startzel and Alex Holopainen, as well as the freshmen duo of Kingsbury and Coakley in the compe-tition for the doubles posi-tions.

“We are not sure of just how the doubles teams are going to shake out, but we’ll be relying on the intra-squad scrimmaging to put the opening day lineup together,” said Bunar.

Bunar’s deep bench in-cludes the big serving ability of senior Mike LaTorre and sophomore Erik Schneider, while returning veterans se-nior Andrew Pierce, junior Pat Mahoney, junior Dan Fiset, and sophomore Dale Day should also seem some playing time.

The Duxbury Bantam A team represented the state of Massachusetts in the New England Tier II-L Sectionals held at Saint Anselms College in Manchester, NH last week. The team reached the finals before losing to the Southern Connecticut Stars, finishing the season as the NE Tier II-L runner-up for 2010.

Duxbury won the Mas-sachusetts Tier II-L State Championship earlier in March to earn the right to compete in the NE Sectionals against the state champions from Connecticut, Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont and Rhode Island.

A preliminary round win against St. Albans, VT locked up a spot in the semifinals for

Duxbury. In a tightly played game, Duxbury jumped out to an early lead when defen-seman Scott Whear scored on a slapshot from the point in the first period, only to see St. Albans tie the score minutes later. Halfway through the third period Duxbury finally regained its lead when Matt Murphy forced a Vermont turnover and Drew Hadley found linemate Nick Marroc-co alone in front for the 2-1 game-winner.

Duxbury faced top-seeded Casco Bay, ME in the semifi-nal game and found them in a real battle again. After falling behind only two minutes into the game, Duxbury respond-ed minutes later with a goal from James Marcello to tie

Mini Soccer starts soonRegistration is still open for Duxbury Youth Soccer’s

Minisoccer. Minisoccer is fun, healthy, team-based, and in-structional, and is designed with young kids in mind. Mini-soccer is for players in the following age groups: Children born between Aug. 1, 2003 - Jul. 31, 2005 will play in the “Under-6” age group. Children born between Aug. 1, 2001 - Jul. 31, 2003 will play in the “Under-8” age group.

The hour-long sessions focus on fun first, and are action packed – a lot of ball touches, no standing around, and no lines. Kids will enjoy playing with friends and meeting new ones in these well-organized sessions. The low or no pressure format includes high participation exercises and skill development, followed by fun match play (Under-6 play informal matches; Under-8 play matches against other teams on larger fields and goals)

Parents are welcome to assist with the organization of the session and help with coaching if they like. Instruction will be available just before the season for parents who are interested.

The season runs on seven weekends with hour-long ses-sions that take place on Sunday afternoons during April and May. The “Under-6” group plays at 12 noon; “Under-8” play at 1:15 p.m. All games are at Coppens Field Complex at Chandler School.

Some openings remain for the upcoming season. Al-though the discounted registration deadline has passed, late registrations are still being accepted for these age groups until the end of March. To register, visit the Duxbury Youth Soccer Web site at duxburyyouthsoccer.org and register now.

the score, only to find them trailing by one again halfway through the third period.

A hustling Mike Doyle beat a Vermont defenseman to a loose puck, and Marcello converted for his second goal to tie the game and send it into overtime.

The first 10-minute over-time featured outstanding goaltending by Chris John-son and equally great defense from Shawn Errasti, Patrick Buell, Tyler Powers, and Whear. However, St. Albans also shut down the Duxbury offense and the game contin-ued with a second overtime period.

After six minutes had ticked off the clock, Doyle saw Powers open at the point and he unloaded a hard, low slapper that was stopped by the Vermont goaltender. None-the-less, with a defense-man dragging him to the ice,

Tanner Williams slammed in the rebound for the 3-2 win and a berth in the NE finals.

The fairy tale ride for these 14 year olds from Dux-bury ended in the finals with a defeat to an outstanding team from Southern Connecticut, but as the only true “town” team in a tournament filled with regional all-star teams, they represented Duxbury and the state of Massachu-setts well.

With a roster of seventh, eighth and ninth graders, and all either current or soon to be Duxbury High Dragons, the future looks bright for the high school hockey program.

Congratulations to team-mates Patrick Buell, Mike Doyle, Shawn Errasti, Drew Hadley, Chris Johnson, James Marcello, Nick Marrocco, Matt Murphy, Matt O’Neal, Tyler Powers, Tanner Wil-liams, and Scott Whear.

Hope For Haiti

It’s been almost two months since an enormous earthquake in Port-au-Prince, Haiti took the lives of more than 230,000 men, women, and children. As hard as it is to witness such destruction as an adult, can you imagine how our children try to

process such devastation?

One way they’ve dealt with it here in Duxbury is by taking action. The outpouring among

our youth to raise money and send Hope to the Haitian people has been outstanding. With the

organization of “Harmony for Haiti” at the DSU, the execution of Greeting Cards and Friendship Bracelets made by our Girl Scouts, the numerous

bake sales orchestrated in our churches by our youth groups, and most recently, on Wednesday, March 10th, two fi fth graders, Colleen Mathews and Emma Sibley, put together a Hope for Haiti

raffl e, securing donations from our local mer-chants, at each lunch period at Alden School where they raised $450.00 for Haitian Relief.

Much appreciation goes to Mr. Trombly and Mrs. Fruzzetti, for allowing two little girls the autono-

my to fulfi ll their inspiration to help.

As children and young adults, these are our future Leaders. Duxbury you should be proud! The Matthew and Sibley families are collectively

matching what the girls raised. We hope you can help too.

Donations are still being accepted. If you would like to contribute please send your tax deductible

check made out to Alden PTA to Vantage Point Realty, Attn: Sheri Sibley.
