Duxbury residents are get-ting vaccinated for the H1N1 flu virus, also known as swine flu, and town officials hope a new decision by the state to release more vaccines means everyone who wants one will get one.

The town held a flu clinic at the Chandler Elementary School on Saturday morning. Health Agent Tracy Mayo was pleased with the turnout.

“We’re just trying to get the vaccine to as many peo-ple as we can,” she said. “We wanted people to be able to get it before the holidays.”

Many of the people getting the vaccine on Saturday were families with young children.

Tammy Kirk said she had been hearing of a lot of stu-dents getting sick around Hal-loween and wanted to make sure her kids were protected. Two of her children were able


The year began with the Sun Tavern restaurant clos-ing after New Year’s Day. It was a sign of the economic downturn hitting Duxbury, and many residents mourned the loss of the iconic eatery. Now, as 2009 draws to a close, a former owner has purchased the property and promises to return it to its former glory.

Lawrence Friedman, who owned the Sun Tavern from 1996 to 2001, said he’s start-ing the process of reopening the restaurant and is shooting for a Feburary or March re-opening. He said he’s done

some cleaning of the building due to water damage, but he hasn’t contacted any potential chefs.

Friedman is involved in several other businesses, and said he’s only had one other experience with a restaurant. However, the Duxbury resi-dent said the building itself is the draw for him.

“It’s not the industry, it’s the property that I just love,” he said.

He said that he was both-ered every time he drove down Route 14 during the year it was shuttered.

Like most firefighters, John Montosi will tell you it was “nothing special” what he did on Jan. 13, when he helped pull a Pembroke resi-dent from her burning home. After all, he was just doing his job.

But the fact is, Mon-tosi wasn’t on the job. The

It’s going to be a quiet Town Meeting for the Com-munity Preservation Commit-tee, according to the commit-tee’s chairwoman. However, the group is taking heart from a new law, working its way through the state legislature, that would ensure a minimum match from the state.

The Community Preserva-tion Act allows communities to assess a property tax surcharge of up to 3 percent, with vari-ous local exemptions tailored to community preference. The locally-raised money is then matched by a statewide trust fund derived from $10 to $20 fees assessed on real estate transactions filed at the county registries of deeds.

The state had matched the local money at 100 percent, but last year the percentage dipped dramatically. Senate Bill 90, “An Act to Sustain Communi-ty Preservation,” would guar-antee that the match be at least 75 percent. Duxbury’s Com-munity Preservation Commit-tee Chairwoman Holly Morris said this will ease fears of resi-dents that they’re not getting their money’s worth out of the CPA (there was an attempt to cut back the surcharge at last year’s Town Meeting) and will make the act more attractive to communities looking to adopt it.

“I think for the communi-ties that are still on the fence ... this would be much more of a powerful incentive,” Mor-ris said. “They’ve been see-ing that the match has been declining, and they’ve been a bit more reluctant to come on board.”

She said she’s hopeful that the bill, which has just been recommended for approval by a joint legislative committee, will pass.

“I think it’s been very well received,” she said. “I think there’s tremendous support for this.”

Morris said that the fact that the match has been drop-ping has been making it harder for her committee to bring

projects forward.“On the various commit-

tees I’ve had to go through, that question always arises: why are we doing this if the match is dropping?” she said. “I think we just have to con-tinue to press forward and do good projects that really help the three purposes [open space, historic preservation, community housing.]”

The CPC has a number of projects on its plate (see side-bar,) including some potential land purchases for open space or affordable housing that can’t be discussed publicly yet. Morris said she hopes to be able to disclose those proj-ects soon.

The group will also meet with selectmen to discuss their recommendations for the war-rant sometime in the near fu-ture.

“We’re trying to move for-ward as fast as we can,” Mor-ris said.

The committee has already approved two projects, the restoration of a barn at Camp Wing and the replacement of several windows at the First Parish Church. Morris said she has inquired with town counsel if there would be and any separation of church and state issues with the church, but noted Community Pres-ervation Act funds have been used many times on historic churches –– and the First Par-ish Church certainly has an important place in Duxbury’s history.

Other than the projects and the land acquisitions, the com-mittee will also be paying for historic plaques at the Wright and Tarkiln buildings. These will be paid for by administra-tive funds, which do not re-quire a Town Meeting vote.

“It’s going to be a relative-ly quiet Town Meeting,” Mor-ris said.

PROPOSED CPA PROJECTS FOR FY 2010

The Historic Inventory: A three-year project for $55,000. First year is for the survey of 47 dateboarded but not yet inventoried properties. Second year is for barns, stables and outbuildings. And the third year is to inventory 86 properties within the Shipbuilders District and update and provide an electronic version of the National Register nomination.

The Grange Renovation: Construction of two affordable housing units. Habitat for Humanity was to be the contractor of this proj-ect, unfortunately Habitat has not been able to raise the necessary funds. The Grange was purchased with CPA funds in FY09 with the understanding that Habitat was going to move forward on the reno-vation and the building’s historic character was to be maintained. The request is for $150,000 of town CPA funds.

First Parish Church Windows: The church is a historic landmark and is the town’s fourth Meetinghouse. It is registered on the National Historic Register and serves as the site for the DHS bacca-laureate services. The total cost for the removal and restoration of the 10 windows is $106,000 and the church is requesting $50,000 from the town’s CPA funds.

Issac Keene Barn at Camp Wing: Crossroads for Kids, Inc. has requested $85,000 for engineering, construction documents, architectural drawings and repairs to the foundation for $85,000. The impressive barn is currently used for storage, but Crossroads would like to make it more functional for the more than 600 local kids that use the camp. Little League uses the three ballfields, and the Camp is a popular site for school team building retreats, meetings, graduations and other functions. This project is the first phase of a $340,000 restoration project. Crossroads will be embarking on a capital campaign next summer.

There are also a couple of land acquisition projects that cannot be disclosed at this time in order to protect ongoing negotiations. The CPC is looking forward to announcing them in the near future.

Candidates declare for moderator and School Committee seats


The spring election season is starting to heat up, as candi-dates are beginning to declare their intentions to seek open seats.

Shawn Dahlen and Will Zachmann have taken out pa-pers to run for the selectman seat currently held by Jon Wit-

ten, who has said he will not seek re-election. This week, Friend Weiler of Trout Farm Road took out papers to run for town moderator. Longtime moderator Allen Bornheimer said last week he will not seek re-election.

Also this week, Christine McLaughlin of Ryan’s Lane took out papers for School Committee. There are two seats on the committee, cur-

rently held by George Cipolet-ti and Karen Wong. Cipoletti recently announced that he would not seek re-election.

Also this week, incum-bents James MacNab of the Board of Assessors and Theo-dore Flynn of the Board of Library Trustees took out pa-pers to retain their seats. Town Clerk Nancy Oates and Plan-ning Board member John Bear took out papers last week.

Each day brings new heights – sometimes literally – for a local

businessman.Duxbury resident Bob Ok-

erfelt says he’s always had a natural gift for painting. Over the last thirty-five years he has painted on nearly every sur-

face imag-inable. He spent twenty years work-ing for a cus-tom signage c o m p a n y , working his way into a

foreman position, and eventu-ally becoming his father’s boss after he closed up his own ad-vertising business.

In the early 1970s, Oker-felt’s father, Clarence, paint-ed the Boston Gas tank. The original design was by Corita Kent, a nun, whose art work was chosen to grace the side of the now famous landmark.

With samples scaled to represent the tanks, artists in the running for the project presented their designs. Of the four artists, Kent eventually was chosen by Boston Gas and the elder Okerfelt began the rendition of her vision on the side of the tank.

“My father painted one gas tank there and three or four years later they lettered it Boston Gas,” said Okerfelt.

In 1994, Boston Gas made changes in their storage con-figuration and Okerfelt and

his father hung from the scaf-folds along the waterfront and repainted the design onto a newer tank, which drivers can still see next to the Express-way heading into Boston.

Okerfelt’s work takes him all over the country, working on projects including truck and boat lettering, murals and oth-er types of signage. There are dozens of projects Okerfelt has been commissioned to create.

“Illuminated signs, fronts of schools, interior and ex-terior of hotel chains, room numbers, there are so many kinds of project I can be work-ing on,” he said. “Every day is different.”

Okerfelt is also the main artist for the Pizzeria Uno’s chain, which has brought him to most of the fifty states.

His work is created using specs, or he hand designs what the company envisions for their restaurants. He has trav-eled throughout the country to create images for the restau-

rant chain.Okerfelt recalls being ap-

proached by Uno’s then CEO, Aaron Spencer, nearly thirteen years ago while he was paint-ing the side of a building.

Word of mouth is an in-valuable part of his artistry, as he feels his reputation speaks for itself. He enjoys the work, which he says sometimes feels more like a “hobby.” Okerfelt does not see himself retiring anytime soon.

“I know even if I retired, someone would ask me to work on something and I would do it,” he said. “It is something I will always enjoy.”

Okerad, which was the original name of his father’s business before he closed up shop, is now carried on by the second generation of Oker-felts.

“I restarted my father’s company and Okerad is an ab-breviation for Okerfelt Adver-tising,” he said. Clarence Ok-erfelt passed away in 1995.

Okerfelt moved to Dux-bury in 1987 after growing up in Weymouth. He has a grown daughter who resides in Texas and a son who also lives in Duxbury.

The most thrilling part of his career is the lack of perfor-mance pressure on the job, he said.

“I enjoy what I am doing. Some people have their morn-ing coffee to start their day and I just wake up, have my hobby … it’s my main source of in-come but always enjoyable,” he said.

Okerfelt is a member of the Sign Painters Local Union 391 out of Roslindale. Unin-timidated by heights or the challenge of applying his work in unique circumstances, he doesn’t feel there is anything terrifying or difficult with his line of work.

“Three hundred feet in the air, standing on the ground or walking a thin piece of steel, it’s all the same,” he said. “I have taken a couple of mi-nor falls, but no major broken bones or anything.”

One place you won’t find Okerfelt is sitting on the beach, sketching.

“I don’t really paint pic-tures or just sit and draw for

hours,” he said. “There is a lot of time in sitting and sketch-ing at the beach. If I am on the beach I will relax. I like to de-sign and be specific to repro-duce and get my hands on the installations.”

Locally he can be found in East Bridgewater at Merchant Signs, painting trucks and mu-rals for commercial vehicles.

“I can pretty much paint on anything,” he said. “Trees, rugs, trade show grass, the beach –– if you bring me a mound of sand, mounted on a piece of plywood, I could ac-tually letter on it.”

Okerfelt said he has no time for slowing down – there is a whole world of paint out there, and he intends to use it.

Mallory Hayes and Phil Anderson from Hobby Knoll Stables provided a horse drawn sleigh as transportation from the Chandler School to Bay Path. The day was cold and clear, perfect to get the children into the holiday spirit.

Students went into some of the residents’ rooms to sing. Evan Maichle, Mae Pittenger and Scott Doyle sang for Bay Path residents.

On Sunday Dec. 13, 11- ➢year-old sixth grader Jesse Bar-clay finished in second place in the Division 1B Go Kart Racing finals held at F1Boston in Braintree. After moving up from Division 2 to Division 1 this fall (Division 1 drivers can be up to age 17), Jesse qualified in fifth place for the finals based on points earned during the fall season. Jesse passed three karts on the penultimate lap, narrowly avoiding a wreck that took out three other drivers. Jesse has been a consistent challenger for the title since his first season as a rookie driver in the junior rac-ing program in 2007, finishing three seasons thus far on the po-dium for the championship title. He is hoping to get his own high speed kart this spring to com-pete in the Junior Rotax Chal-lenge Series, where top speeds approach 75 mph. Jesse is the grandson of Mary Barclay.

Now in its 23rd season, Jose Mateo Ballet Theatre’s “The Nutcracker” has become a holiday tradition for New England audiences since 1987. This will be JBMT’s fifth Nut-cracker season at The Dux-bury Performing Arts Center. Performances start with a mat-inee performance at 1 p.m. on Christmas Eve. Other perfor-mances are on Dec. 26-27 with 1 p.m. matinee and 6 p.m. eve-ning shows. Choreographed

by Artistic Director Jose Ma-teo, this original production of The Nutcracker distinguishes itself from all others by its fo-cus on the dancing rather than the usual mime and theatrics associated with other produc-tions. Experience the magic of this beloved holiday clas-sic. Sumptuous sets and cos-tumes and spectacular dancing bring Clara’s dream world to life. Dancing snowflakes, bat-tling toy soldiers and waltzing

Sugar Plum Fairies make this original Nutcracker a delight for children of all ages.

Ticket prices range from $15 to $50. For more infor-mation, call 617-354-7467 or visit www.BalletTheatre.org for more details.

Duxbury firefighter was driv-ing home from work when he saw smoke in the sky about half a mile away and decided to make a detour to check that everything was under control. When he pulled up to 35 Val-ley Street, Pembroke, no fire crews had arrived yet. Then a resident told Montosi his wife was still inside.

Without his gear, without knowing when backup would arrive, Montosi just did his job, first trying the front door but finding the smoke too thick, and then breaking a front bedroom window to pull the woman to safety with the help of neighbors and passersby.

And though Montosi will tell you he was “just in the right place at the right time,” his actions on Jan. 13 earned him the Medal of Valor at the 20th annual Firefighter of the Year Award Ceremony on Dec. 3 in Worcester.

Typically held in Boston, the event recognizes firefight-ers across the state for brave acts, community service and other efforts. This year’s event was held at the Hanover The-atre in Worcester in recogni-tion of the 10th anniversary of the Worcester Cold Storage Warehouse fire that killed six firefighters.

“It was kind of mixed emotions,” Montosi said of the event. “Half of it was the 10th anniversary of a very sad day … but it was also a day of cel-ebration of a lot of great things that were done and a lot of he-roic rescues that were made by the other award winners.”

Montosi was told he would be receiving an award that day but he didn’t know which one.

“It was surprising. It was an honor,” he said. “It was nice to be recognized, but I was just in the right place at the right time, I guess, on my way home and trying to help out as much as I could.”

The top award of the day was the Medal of Honor, often given posthumously, accord-ing to event manager Amy Dominici. This year’s recipi-ent was the late Lt. Kevin Kel-ley of Boston Fire Depart-ment, who died earlier this year when the brakes on his fire truck gave out.

Kelley’s family attended the event along with a number of dignitaries including Gov. Deval Patrick, Lt. Gov. Tim Murray and Vicky Kennedy, wife of the late Sen. Ted Ken-nedy.

The senator received the Fire Marshal’s Excellence in Leadership award for his ca-reer-long advocacy for the fire service.

Montosi was one of eight who received the Medal of Valor, alongside firefight-

ers from Natick, Boston and Barnstable.

Nominations are opened up every year to all fire depart-ments statewide, with a com-mittee made up of state fire officials deciding the awards. Though Dominici doesn’t vote on recipients, she has seen the committee make their decision over her many years of man-aging the event.

“You get to the Medal of Valor, and it’s usually saving a life,” she said. “Firefight-ers respond to incidents every day, and they’ll all say, ‘I was just doing my job,’ but when you’re putting your life in dan-ger, you’ve got to say that’s going above and beyond.”

Not every award is given out every year, Dominici said, which gives the recognition all the more prestige.

Duxbury Fire Chief Kevin Nord and Pembroke Fire Chief Jim Neenan co-nominated Montosi and appeared before the committee to explain their reasons.

“Obviously, he should be

recognized for his efforts,” Nord said. “The act was some-thing that he’s paid to do, but in this particular case, he was certainly off duty and he had to go out of his way to see if everything was OK. He was able to possibly save some-one’s life, and that should be recognized in this day and age. There’s not enough of the good stuff that gets talked about.”

In November, Montosi re-ceived a departmental Medal of Valor, one of many service awards and citations that have been given to Duxbury fire-fighters at their annual fall din-ner ever since Nord instituted the program in 2004.

Neenan said Montosi is well known in Pembroke even though he works in Duxbury. After growing up and attend-ing school in town, Montosi interned with the Pembroke Fire Department during col-lege.

“It was an outstanding effort, above and beyond,” Neenan said of Montosi’s ac-tions on Jan. 13.

“It was killing me,” he said. “I wanted to save the res-taurant.”

John Cowden, a Duxbury resident, and his wife Linda bought the property in Sep-tember of 2007. The couple has been involved in the res-taurant business for years, but always as a general manager or innkeeper. Although own-ing a restaurant was always a dream of the couple, Cowden said in January it had become economically impossible to keep open.

“At some point you just have to stop the bleeding,” he said at the time.

Until 2007 the property was owned by Kevin Dubois. In 2006, Dubois sought unsuc-cessfully to expand the Sun Tavern to add banquet space and additional seating. The Board of Appeals rejected his request in the face of neigh-borhood opposition.

Friedman knows full well what he’s getting into, operat-ing a dining establishment in these tough economic times.

“Restaurants are a difficult industry, but I do enjoy it,” he said. “I love seeing people coming in ... in that building it’s like having people coming

into your home.”It’s that casual feel that

Friedman said he wants to re-capture.

“It’s got to be a friendly easy comfortable place ... with the fire lit and people relaxing,” he said. “I want to bring it back to the way it was when I first got in there.”

He also hopes to avoid some of the friction prior owners had with neighbors over a planned expansion.

“We do have neighbors, it’s not on a commercial strip,” he said. “Anything we’ve done in the past, we’ve always talked to the neigh-bors.”

As an example, he said when he put up lights in the parking lot, he had some of them turned after neighbors complained of light pollution, and he left a stand of trees as a buffer when he put in the sep-tic system.

“I’m not looking to build on the building, I’m not look-ing to do anything with it,” he said.

In time, Friedman hopes the Sun Tavern can become a Duxbury staple once again.

“I really want it to be that Duxbury place, it’s always been important to me and my wife,” he said.

A prior owner of the Sun Tavern has purchased the property, which has been closed for all of 2009, and says he’ll return the restaurant to its casual dining roots.

A DUxBURY LANDMARK

The Sun Tavern was housed in an antique cape that was built in 1741 in Duxbury’s cranberry bog country. It first became a restaurant in the early 1930s when Mary Hackett bought the property. It was called Mary Hackett’s.

The late David Wells acquired the restaurant after Mary Hackett died in a car accident and in 1964 re-named it Fiddler’s Green. He operated it much like a British pub and served native veg-etables and fish caught in Duxbury Bay. He also owned the Winsor House for a while before taking the Fiddler’s name to his Hingham restaurant.

After Wells sold his Duxbury Fiddler’s, it became the Chart House and was later operated as the Summer Goose. In 1987 the restaurant was sold again and renamed The Sun Tavern, an appel-lation shared by several owners.

Duxbury Firefighters are asking for the community’s help in obtaining a $10,000 grant from Liberty Mutual.

The grant is being given to ten fire departments across the country that display a “commitment to fire safety,” according to a flyer from the company.

To help, go to befiresmart.com and take a 10 question quiz about fire safety. The ten communities with the most completed quizzes will earn grants for their fire depart-ments. Make sure you type in Duxbury and the Duxbury zip

code so the local department will get the credit.

New Year

to get a shot through their doc-tor, but her other two got the spray on Saturday.

“It’s better for the older kids,” she said.

Kirk said she always has her children get the sea-sonal flu shot, and she’s been preaching regular hand wash-ing –– and so far, her family’s been healthy.

The issue of getting the shot through the doctor was also an issue for Allison Berry and her four children.

“It was impossible to get an appointment for all of them at the same time,” she said.

Although her children got the H1N1 vaccine on Saturday, she said she’s wary of other ill-nesses as well.

“My doctor had said we’re more worried about seasonal flu this year,” she said.

Although a clinic held earlier this year at the Senior Center was sparsely attended, a later clinic at Duxbury Mid-dle School had lines out the door and served 556 people –– some were actually turned away, according to Mayo.

At the first two clinics, a flu shot was administered, which contains a dead flu virus. On Saturday, school nurses and volunteers from the towns Medical Reserve Corps were giving out doses of a nasal spray, which contains a weakened, but “live,” version of the virus.

Because the spray can-not be given out to everyone –– people over 49, pregnant women, and anyone who is al-ready ill –– residents had to fill out a questionnaire. However, Mayo hopes the next clinic will be open to everyone.

The state’s Department of Public Health has recently obtained larger shipments of H1N1 vaccine and is asking communities to start holding large-scale clinics after the New Year that will be open to everyone, not just priority

groups. Mayo said that until now, she has been getting small shipments of the shots and sprays.

“While the amount of flu we’re seeing in the state has fallen off in recent weeks, we fully expect that we could see another spike in illness later this flu season,” DPH Commis-sioner John Auerbach said in a statement issued last week.

“We want to encourage all residents to take this oppor-tunity to protect themselves against H1N1 flu by getting vaccinated – especially those at higher risk of complications from flu,” he added.

Mayo said she hopes to hold another clinic at the school by the end of January.

Children under the age of 10 who get the H1N1 vaccine will need a second dose, Mayo said. She is trying to schedule the next clinic to fit into this time window.

Chuck Teravainen gets a flu nasal spray while his son, Jack, waits his turn at Saturday’s flu clinic at the Chandler School.

And, how could a loving God ex-ist if there is evil and suffer-ing in the world? “The Case for Faith” is a powerful Bib-lical apologetic for anyone who has ever experienced doubt or uncertainty about God.

As the Intermissions Program at the Dux-bury Senior Center

enters its fifth year, we’d like to take this time to acknowledge and thank the many people who make the program a resounding success!

First of all, a very special thanks to all the volunteers who help staff the program. With-out their continuing help and dedication, we would not be able to run the day as smoothly as we do.

We would also like to in-clude and thank the people who participate with their various skills and talents which give the program many diversified and enjoyable activities. They are as follows:

• Roberta and Gil McNab for their monthly sing-a-longs.

• The staff of the Duxbury Art Complex for allowing our group to visit everyone month for a watercolor class.

• Steve Lanzillotta for his impressive piano concerts.

• Carol Jankowski from the Duxbury Free Library who pro-vides us with a monthly Poetry Circle.

• Kathy Holmes for all the

wonderful arts and crafts she generously shares with us.

• Nina Constantides, our exercise instructor, who pro-vides the members with a fun-filled workout at each session.

• John Galluso from the MA Audubon Society who enter-tains us each month with side shows of wildlife as well as some of his own private works

• Jim Baron, our Mr. Hol-lywood, an amazing performer on the keyboard.

• Jane Blair who conducts the Living with Art Program every month, which provides us with an engaging experience of Art History (all are welcome to attend this program—it’s fabulous!)

• Wendy Bicknell who shared her talents in making home made Christmas orna-ments.

• And last, but not least, the preschool children from the Pied Piper School and the

second graders from the Good Shephard Christian Academy who provide us intergenera-tional programming and bring so much joy with each visit!

We would also like to thank the Curtis Trust for their gener-ous support of our program—without their financial support, the trips, Art Matters Program, and exercise would not be as extensive and unique.

Additionally, a great big thank you to all the wonderful staff of the COA for their help and support they provide to the continued success of the respite program.

We would like to wish ev-eryone a very Merry Christmas and a healthy and happy New Year!

Yes, Virginia, there is a

Santa ClausDear Editor—I am 8 years old. Some of my little friends

say there is no Santa Claus. Papa says, “If you see it in The Sun, it’s so.” Please tell me the truth, is there a Santa Claus?

Virginia O’HanlonVirginia your little friends are wrong. They have......been affected by the skepticism of a skeptical age. They do not believe except they see. They think that nothing can be which is not comprehensible by their little minds. All minds, Virginia, whether they be men’s or children’s, are little. In this great universe of ours, man is a mere insect, an ant, in his intellect as compared with the boundless world about him, as measured by the intelligence capable of grasping the whole of truth and knowledge.

Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus. He exists as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist, and you know that they abound and give to your life its highest beauty and joy. Alas! How dreary would be the world if there were no Santa Claus! It would be as dreary as if there were no Virginias. There would be no childlike faith then, no poetry, no romance to make tolerable this existence. We should have no enjoyment, except in sense and sight. The external light with which childhood fills the world would be extinguished.

Not believe in Santa Claus! You might as well not believe in fairies. You might get your papa to hire men to watch in all the chimneys on Christmas eve to catch Santa Claus, but even if you did not see Santa Claus coming down, what would that prove? Nobody sees Santa Claus, but that is no sign that there is no Santa Claus. The most real things in the world are those that neither children nor men can see. Did you ever see fairies dancing on the lawn? Of course not, but that’s no proof that they are not there. Nobody can conceive or imagine all the wonders there are unseen and unseeable in the world.

You tear apart the baby’s rattle and see what makes the noise inside, but there is a veil covering the unseen world which not the strongest man, nor even the united strength of all the strongest men that ever lived could tear apart. Only faith, poetry, love, romance, can push aside that curtain and view and picture the supernal beauty and glory beyond. Is it all real? Ah, Virginia, in all this world there is nothing else real and abiding.

No Santa Claus! Thank God! He lives and lives forever. A thousand years from now, Virginia, nay 10 times 10,000 years from now, he will continue to make glad the heart of childhood.

(From the editorial page, New York Sun, 1897, by the editor, Francis Pharcellus Church.)

How dreary would be the world if there were no Santa Claus! It would be as dreary as if there were no

Virginias.

Scrooge the mailman?Due to a recent change in policy at the US Postal Service,

Santa is no longer allowed to share his letters from children with us here at the Clipper. – Ed.

On behalf of the Duxbury Education Foundation, we

would like to extend our heart-felt thanks for making our first Answer the Call Phonathon a great success. By any measure we exceeded all expectations and had a lot of fun in the pro-cess.

Donations are coming in daily as residents fulfill their pledges made by phone in No-vember. When all is said and done, we expect to raise over $30,000. We are delighted and

encouraged by the response from the community, in partic-ular the significant increase in participation for DEF’s annual appeal. We have received over 350 donations to date, nearly triple the number of donations in years past and a testimony to the generous spirit of Duxbury.

We would like to again thank the four businesses who offered their offices as call sites: William Raveis, Cold-well Banker, Vantage Point Re-alty and Coastal Construction. We are equally indebted to the

90 volunteers who gave their time to make over 4,200 phone calls. This cadre of volunteers consisted of students, teachers, current and former school ad-ministrators, former DEF trust-ees, current DEF trustees and many committed parents.

Thanks again Duxbury for Answering the Call. We’ll talk with you next year!

Duxbury police log


The trial for a Duxbury man accused of the rape of a child won’t begin until next year.

Timothy Hayes, of De-pot Street, was arrested in the fall of 2007 and charged with sexually assaulting an under-age female family member. In

February of 2008, he was in-dicted in Plymouth Superior Court on four counts of rape of a child with force, three counts of indecent assault and battery on a child under 14 and distributing obscene matter to minor. He pled not guilty to all charges and was ordered by the court to stay away from the victim and have no contact with children under 16, according to court documents.

The trial was originally scheduled to begin in July of this year, but was resched-uled several times in August, October and December. Most recently a joint motion be-tween the prosecutors and defense postponed the trail until June of 2010 –– despite a court ruling on Aug. 6 that there be no further continu-

ances. A spokeswoman for the

Plymouth County District at-torney’s office said that the case had to be postponed because an essential witness would not be available due to his deployment to Afghani-stan. The spokeswoman said the judge has leeway to post-pone the case despite the no further continuance ruling, and said the Commonwealth still intends to prosecute the case.

Hayes’ attorney, Howard Wernick of Boston, did not return a call for comment. Attempts to contact Hayes directly were unsuccessful.

doctor charged with sexual assault

A Duxbury resident was arraigned in Plymouth District Court last week on charges of sexual assault.

Adnan El-Amine pled not guilty during his arraignment on Dec. 2 to three counts of indecent assault and battery on a person 14 or older and a charge of assault and bat-tery, according to court re-cords. His medical practice is in Kingston. El-Amine will next be in court for a pretrial hearing on Jan. 12.

Farrokh Bulsara was a Third Culture Kid, a TCK. Third Culture Kids are people

who spend a significant part of their development living in another culture. Bulsara was a Parsi, an Indian ethnic group originally Persian; he was also, as Parsis generally are, a Zoroastrian. Born in Zanzibar, where his father worked for the British Foreign Office, Bulsara left Zanzibar in 1964 with his family, but he had actually spent most

of his childhood in India where he lived with his grandmother and aunt, and attended elite English-language schools. When his parents fled Zanzibar for England, Bulsara, then 17, joined them. He ultimately pursued a

brilliant career in music.You get the idea. Bulsara’s

development was spread over a variety of cultures. TCKs never quite fit where they are, but never quite misfit either. In fact, they learn quickly and smoothly to blend in. The chameleon is their symbol, or the phoenix, since they are reborn into new forms and new lives after each relocation.

Military Brats (like me) are typically TCKs, especially when their parents’ careers take the family

Up to $500 Off New Bookings

Rarely does a coach get to put every member of his squad in the opening game of the season. Coach Gordon Cushing had that luxury on Tuesday night in Duxbury, as his Dragons romped to a 64-35 win over Silver Lake in Patriot League action.

Led by Brian Grossman’s 26 points, Duxbury saw 12 players get in the scoring col-umn, as they built a 31-20 halftime lead before shutting down the Lakers in the second half.

Opening night jitters made for some sloppy play in the first quarter, as Duxbury went on a 10-0 run early to wipe out a 3-0 Laker lead. The visitors would battle back and close to within two at 15-13, only to see Grossman hit his 13th point of the quarter for a 17-13 lead at the buzzer.

The Lakers started the sec-ond quarter by matching every Dragon point, but they eventu-ally started to fade, as senior captain Mike Sullivan, Gross-man, and junior Billy Curley (7 pts.) stretched the Duxbury lead to 31-20 at halftime.

The Duxbury defense took hold in the third quarter, as neither team could get their offensive acts together. By the end of the third quarter, the Lakers had scored a paltry 24 points and trailed by 17.

Senior center Aaron Kram-er opened the final quarter with an offensive rebound and put-back that had the crowd on its feet, igniting his teammates to

a 23-11 fourth-quarter run that had everyone scoring.

While the Dragons won easily, they are well aware they have to bring their A-game on a nightly basis in order to beat teams such as Scituate and Hingham.

“We’ve got a long way to go offensively,” said Cush-ing. “It’s our first game and a lot of kids were playing their first varsity minutes. We just need to get some of the kinks out, but our defense was great in the second half. You can’t complain much about that, and we need to shoot our free throws better. Friday [Scituate] will be a huge challenge for us with their pressure. If we can get shots and avoid turnovers we’ve got a chance. We have to break their pressure and get the ball inside. We are way bigger then they are, but if we throw the ball all around the gym we’ll be in trouble.”

Cushing is well aware of his team’s strength and weak-nesses.

“Grossman (6’1”) is our smallest starter, and with Kramer (6’7”), Sullivan (6’4”), Curley (6’3”), and CJ Cote (6’2”), there are hardly any teams out there that we won’t out-size.”

As Grossman showed on opening night, the offense goes though the senior captain. One of Cushing’s projects will be to find another capable ball handler who can keep the of-fense moving when Grossman takes a break.

“I think Curley and (soph-omore) Curtis Owen (6’2”) will be able to handle that, along with seniors Pat McWil-liams (6’1”) and Greg O’Neal (6’1”).”

With the loss of Mark

Brust (Bates) and Sam Da-vidson in the backcourt, word around the league is that their absence and that of Ian Whit-ney may be too much for the Dragons to be considered seri-ous contenders. But with many players seeing varsity action for the first time, and players like Cote and Kramer getting

a late start due to the length of the football season, Cushing warns we might not see how good his team is until at least mid-season.

“There is no question it’s going to take a little time for those guys to get into basket-

overseas. Brats have the added stress of having a parent in a career where going to work can also mean death and destruction, but this is not unique. Cops’ kids face the same everyday, and for them, there is no “peacetime.” Risk is a daily event, even if they never leave their home town. Military Brats and other TCKs don’t just leave town, they leave the country.

The “third” in the concept is not another country, but the blended experience of two or more cultures, and it means that they end up having more in common with each other than with people native to either culture. They don’t assimilate, they blend. They are not immigrants; they are nomads, who often love immigrants. Ruth Hill Useem, the sociologist who coined the term, wrote that TCKs “relate Americans to the rest of the world and interpret the outside world to the immediate world in which they live [for me, Duxbury]. Significant proportions of them actually do this for a living.” Psychologist Laura Cockburn goes further, writing, “These children are the United Nations of the future and they should assist in the many territorial and religious struggles that dominate the contemporary world.”

Heady stuff for a stuffy academic article in “School Psychology International,” but Cockburn is a TCK herself. TCKs are nothing if not adventurous at blending in: she slipped her polemic in at the end of a paragraph in the middle of her piece, not in the title of her study.

Here’s my proposal: let’s get together. Duxbury, I suspect, is loaded with adult TCKs. DKs (children of diplomats), military brats, MKs (missionary kids), international business kids, or twin passport people – all share a common thread that both brings us together, and yet keeps us apart from each other and our community. It is this: nomads like us blend in smoothly and mindfully, but in so doing, we become invisible to one another. We don’t carry a secret medallion, like Rudyard Kipling’s Kim, a fictional TCK just as Kipling was a real one. We disappear into our tertiary culture, whichever it happens to be, hidden from each other.

So let’s reconnect. Are you a kid who grew up globally and now live locally? Get hold of me at my Clipper e-mail. We should get together. Farrokh Bulsara, who died in 1991, would be pleased. His blended life gave rock music the mysterious word “Bismillah!” in a work many consider the greatest rock song ever written. It means, in Arabic, “In the Name of God!” The phrase opens every Surah (chapter) of the Noble Qur’an. Bulsara used it with outrageous respect in his signature opus, “Bohemian Rhapsody,” for his group, Queen. Their emblem creature: the phoenix rising, a favorite of TCKs, the crest designed by Bulsara himself. His professional name: Freddie Mercury.

The Duxbury Free Li-brary teen book group is looking for more teens to simply come in and fill out a short review form on the best books for teens that they have read that were published in 2009. If you are interested,

come by the Young Adult of-fice and pick up some forms from Ellen Snoeyenbos, YA librarian. We are hoping to broaden the range of selec-tion for the national Top Ten Teen Reads list that gets vot-ed on nationwide. Action and

science fiction readers in par-ticular would be welcome, but all are invited to give their nominations before the end of the year. Questions? Contact Ellen Snoeyenbos at [email protected] or call 781-934-2721 x106.

Dragons’ DenSports Editor Mike Halloran • [email protected]


The Duxbury girls’ hockey team traveled to Barnstable last Wednesday night, hoping to show the Division I Red Raiders that they have the tal-ent to take on teams from the higher echelons.

Despite their gutsy effort, the Lady Dragons took the long bus ride home, thinking about all their lost opportuni-ties in a 2-1 defeat that evened their record at 1-1.

The teams went back and forth in the first period with few testing chances until Dux-bury goaltender Julia Hannon was almost fooled by a bounc-ing puck from center ice. She

managed to turn the shot aside, but a minute later the Red Raiders finally broke through when Jessica Penney went in alone on Hannon and watched her shot dribble away from the netminder before crossing the goal line for a 1-0 lead.

The beginning of the second period saw the hosts quickly expand their lead to 2-0 when Jazzy Megnia took a pass from Keslie Corbett in the slot and beat Hannon just 35 seconds into the action.

Duxbury would get a pow-er-play chance with 12:03 left on the clock, but their fortunes seemed better at full strength, when Briana Connolly took a feed in the slot from Molly O’Sullivan and blasted a shot past goalie Ali Talerman to cut the margin to one goal.

The Lady Dragons would spend the rest of the second period shorthanded, as they

killed off three penalties to es-cape trailing by a goal.

There was plenty of action in the final 15 minutes, as both sides lived in the penalty box.

Duxbury had back-to-back chances in the first five minutes, as Corbett drew a pair of mis-guided penalties. Fortunately for her team, neither one cost a goal, as Talerman was able to blank the Lady Dragons with the help of her defense.

Two more great chances from O’Sullivan and freshman Lily Connolly went for naught midway through the period, while Briana Connolly had a scoring bid slip by the post with just over nine minutes to go in the game.

Unable to dent Talerman, the Lady Dragons made mat-ters worse by drawing a pair of penalties with two minutes to go, but the defense was im-mense in protecting Hannon

and getting the puck up ice.With 56 seconds to go,

Duxbury went on the power-play, buzzing the net and hop-ing that a Martha Findlay shot would find its way through the maze of players in front of the net.

“You just can’t spot a team like that two goals, no mat-ter who you are,” said Coach Friend Weiler. “I thought we had our chances but we had the same problem we had against Marshfield and that is we didn’t finish. We’re not picking our spots and just hit-ting the goalie. We’re also get-ting caught down too low and not protecting the puck. The girls played hard, but it was a matter of too little too late.”

The girls travel to Canton on Wednesday afternoon to take on the Bulldogs at 1:10 p.m.

Both Duxbury swim teams will have to suck it up this year, as renovations to the Percy Walker Pool have forced Jay Craft’s swimmers to be on the road for the 2009-10 season.

Being away from the com-fy confines of Duxbury didn’t

seem to bother either team on Tuesday, as the boys took care of business with a 62-35 win over Middleboro and a 49-38 win over Pembroke.

Arthur Su hit the daily double with victories in the 200 and 500-meter freestyle, while Mike Connolly won the 100-meter freestyle and Cam Crowell took the 100-meter backstroke.

The girls were also victo-rious with a 62-36 win over Pembroke and a 62- 35 win over Middleboro.

Emily Hutchinson won the 200-meter freestyle against the Titans, and the 100-meter

butterfly against both schools, while Laura Husted (50-meter freestyle/ :27.9), Shelby Radar (100-meter backstroke/1:04.8), diver Sam Tougas (179.63 pts.), and the 200-meter med-ley relay team of Radar, Elea-nor Johnson, Caitlin Buckley, and Sarah Goldberg were also victorious.


The Duxbury boys track team started its season with a 57-43 loss to Hingham on Tuesday afternoon at the Reg-gie Lewis Track Center in Boston.

Junior captain Jon McKin-ley posted the best times of the

night for Patriot League run-ners by talking first place in the 1000-meters (2:47.10) and the two-mile run (10:28.70).

Other Duxbury winners included senior Shane Mackey (55m hurdles/9.38), sophomore Don Webber (300m/40.30), and the 4x400m relay team of Ben Kimball, John Heming-way, Mike Bernard, and Shane Mackey (4:06.9).

On Wednesday afternoon Coach Harry Taylor’s Dragons will take on Scituate at 5 p.m.

Dragons take opener

Registration for Dux-bury Boys’ Youth Lacrosse in grades 3 - 8 for the Spring season of 2010 will open on Dec. 15, 2009 and remain open through Jan. 15, 2010. second graders and below do not register at this time. The outdoor, spring season be-gins on April 1 and runs until the end of school. Please visit our Website duxburylacrosse.org to register online and view the “about us” section to determine what level to sign up for. Register for only one level, as the “Grade” level includes participation

in the “House” league. The fees remain the same as last year. We must have your reg-istration information in our system by Jan. 15, so we can purchase uniforms and enroll in our various leagues and tournaments. If a refund is necessary, it will be 75 per-cent of the enrollment fee. Your email address is a re-quired field so we can con-tact you. Payment is required by January 15, 2010. Visit the “feedback” section of the Web site with any specific questions.

ball shape,” said Cushing. “Cote is tough as nails and is strong around the basket. He plays within his abilities and we’re counting on him for defense and rebounds, while there is no center in the league bigger than Aaron. He’s a mountain of a man and athletic. He’ll get better as the season rolls along.”

Sullivan will be counted on to be the Dragons’ scoring forward and Cushing thinks he can be dangerous in the 15ft. range.

“He’s a good shooter and maybe the best shot-blocker on the team. He came in this year stronger and more ath-letic after working out in the off-season. He just needs to be more consistent with his performances.”

While his name conjures up visions of Duxbury’s glo-ry days in the 90s, this Billy Curley will star in the back-court.

“Billy has a chance to be our #2 scorer and our #2 ball handler,” said Cushing. “But right now I see it as more of point guard-by-committee.”

With opponents eyeing the Dragons’ size, it’s really Grossman who they should be paying attention to.

“This is a kid who is go-ing to play college ball some-where,” said his coach. “He’s definitely our scorer and is in great condition. He’s a streak shooter and goes to the bas-ket strong. The part people don’t realize is that he is a tremendous defender off the ball.”

Two underclassmen who have shown some promise early in the season and could see some playing time are junior Connor Kindregan (6’4”) and sophomore Justin Marino (6’3”), while seniors Steve Blout, Tom Guilfoile, Jon Frye, Tom Kazanowski and Kyle Dame add some depth up front and in the backcourt.

Tonight the Dragons will travel to Whitman-Hanson to take on the Panthers at 6:30 before returning home to host the ProSports Holiday Clas-sic on Monday and Tuesday nights with Duxbury play-ing Dartmouth at 7 p.m. af-ter Marshfield takes on Latin Academy.
