Duxbury resident fights for safer nuclear powerPower struggle

By Justin GraeBer, Clipper editor [email protected]

Harry Katz of the Duxbury Interfaith Council was named the Duxbury Community Vol-unteer of the Year in a ceremo-ny at the Village of Duxbury Wednesday night.

Joanna Dow from the Vil-lage said that Katz was chosen for his tireless promotion of a message of living and working together for the greater good.

“Harry has been described as a man of peace, the con-science of a community and

a man who sees the good in everyone,” said Dow, read-ing from the nomination form filled out by Rev. Roy Tripp, Katz’s colleague on the Inter-faith Council.

“This really is about ev-erybody in the room,” Katz said. “We’re all in it together ... that’s what makes Duxbury a beautiful community.”

Gary Magnuson took over as chairman of they Duxbury School Committee as they re-organized in their first meeting since the town election at Al-den School on Wednesday, but not without some dissension from one of the board’s senior members.

Magnuson was elected chairman by a 3-2 vote, with John Heinstadt and Maureen Connolly voting against the move. Connolly, who was also nominated for the position by Heinstadt after he declined the nomination, said the position

should ro-tate around the board according to senior-ity, “in the spirit of goodwill.”

“ I ’ m the next senior member, and I feel I should be chair,” Con-nolly said. “Any one of us would do an excellent job and I’m sure some day [Gary] will do an excellent job, I’m just not sure it’s time.”

Volunteer reception at the ACM

As part of the 40th an-niversary festivities at The Art Complex Museum, all past and present volunteers are invited to attend a re-ception and tea to be held in their honor at the museum on Wednesday, May 4, 2-4 p.m. A surprise dedication is scheduled to take place dur-ing the event.

Over the years, this group of dedicated volun-teers have given thousands of hours of their time to help the museum in its goal of bringing art and culture to the community. They greet and help visitors, assist in programs for children and adults, serve as hostesses at receptions, concerts and tea ceremonies, help keep a portfolio of the museum’s news clippings and use their talents and skills to assist the curators during a show change.

CorrectionLast week’s article entitled

“Education foundation issues grants to Duxbury schools” incorrectly stated the name of one of the companies who con-tributed. The company’s name is Battelle, not Battelle Labo-ratories as stated in the article. The amount of the grant was $10,000 not the listed $9,700.

Last Wednesday, all across the state, libraries took part in “Snapshot Day,” an event pro-moted by the national Ameri-can Library Association. The concept originated in New Jersey as a joint effort between the New Jersey Library As-sociation and the New Jersey State Library, according to the ALA’s Web site. Soon af-ter, many states began emu-lating the effort. At the 2010 ALA Midwinter Meeting, the ALA Advocacy Coordinating Group, in conjunction with the Chapter Relations Committee and COSLA, agreed to take this initiative to a national lev-el, asking that states across the country find a date this April to conduct a Library Snapshot Day.

On Wednesday April 13, 668 people walked through the doors of the Duxbury Free Library, according to Direc-tor Carol Jankowski. The li-brary was one of 226 libraries around the state that partici-pated in Snapshot Day.

The library’s day began at 8 a.m., as three newly-elected library trustees were welcomed to the monthly trustee meeting by Jankowski. At 10 a.m., li-brary patrons began drifting in, wet but happy to be arriv-

ing to as one described, “home away from home,” according to Jankowski.

The day was typically busy but the rain added a bit of drama. At one point Jankowski was informed that a rain satu-rated ceiling tile had fallen in the reference area. Fortunately no one was near the incident.

A foray up to the attic dem-onstrated that even roof leaks wanted to be counted! Cus-todian Art Adler, Department Head David Murphy and Carol Jankowski spotted eight leaks.

One hundred patrons filled out surveys, and one comment summed up how most resi-dents feel about the library.

“The Duxbury Free Li-brary is the best. It is so beau-tiful. I wish I could live here!”

Other comments praised the helpful staff, and the li-brary’s vast resources such as computers, museum passes, interlibrary loans, DVDs –– and of course, books.

“This library is our second home,” wrote another library user. “It is like a center of Duxbury, the heart of commu-nity. It is downtown to many people.”

Elijah Brown reads “Jabberwocky” during a poetry slam, part of the library’s “Snapshot Day” activities on Wednesday.

Despite an appeals court decision that lifted a stay on the management contract at North Hill Golf Course, pav-ing the way for a new opera-tor to take over, Doug Johnson of Johnson Golf vows to fight on.

Johnson has been in a le-gal battle with the town after he lost the bid to manage the nine-hole, municipally-owned course in 2008. Johnson was not the high bidder (Calm Golf of Rockland was) but Johnson claimed the town conspired against him and that Calm was not qualified to run the course. Calm is currently running Strawberry Valley in Abington, ironically a course that used to be operated by Johnson.

Johnson’s case centers around the fact that he won an initial bidding process that was later vacated. Town officials claim that proper procedure was not followed (evaluators are supposed to view the price

bids and the qualifications of each bidder separately) and the award was invalid. Calm was the high bidder when the contract was re-bid.

Johnson obtained a pre-liminary injunction from the Middlesex Superior Court Justice Herman J. Smith, al-lowing him to run the course under the terms of the old con-tract until the court case played out. A March 30 decision from Smith vacated the injunc-tion and paved the way for a new company, Pilgrim Golf of Duxbury, to take over the course. (Pilgrim was the win-ner and only bidder in a third round of bidding on the con-tract, blessed by both Smith and the state inspector general. Johnson did not submit a bid, which Smith cited as the main reason for vacating the injunc-tion.)

While Johnson moved his equipment out last week, the lawsuit is still active and he says he will seek damages for a lost contract. Pilgrim’s con-tract is for five years.

“The town will not be al-

lowed to stonewall this or the depositions as they have in the past,” Johnson said in an e-mail. “Mr. MacDonald is ei-ther confused or arrogant if he thinks this is over.”

He said that the the reason only Pilgrim responded to the third bid is because the town put language in the contract limiting the rights of the man-agement company to sue the town if there was any wrong doing.

“This is bid rigging at its finest,” Johnson wrote.

Johnson also attacked Pil-grim’s qualifications, calling the company a “fraud.”

“The town awarded a con-tract to someone with no golf management experience,” he said.

Johnson said the case is in discovery right now and is set for pretrial hearings in July.

“Time will tell,” he said of his chances to win a suit. “Facts are they have put the taxpayers of Duxbury at risk for a large lawsuit.”

Johnson responds to appeals court decision, vows to fight on


Secretary of the Com-monwealth William F. Galvin has charged a now-bankrupt Rockland auto financing com-pany, its officers – including a woman from Duxbury – with fraud and selling unregistered securities and with not being registered to sell securities in Massachusetts.

The Securities Division’s administrative complaints were issued in conjunction with a related action by the Boston Regional Office of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, according to a press release from Secretary of State William Galvin on Thursday, April 14.

Inofin, Inc. specialized in sub-prime automobile fi-nancing for people who could not qualify for conventional financing. It was formed in 1994 as First Investors Factor-ing, Inc. Michael Joseph Cuo-mo of Plymouth, also named in the complaint, is president, treasurer and director of the company.

The administrative com-plaint also names Kevin Joseph Mann, Sr. of Marshfield, listed as secretary, chief executive officer and director of Inofin, and Melissa Marie George of Duxbury, chief financial of-ficer and director. None have been registered in any capac-ity in the securities business.

Inofin raised capital for its automobile financing by sell-ing promissory notes, which are securities under the Mas-sachusetts Uniform Securi-ties Act. The annual return promised to investors ranged

between 10 and 15 percent, according to the release. By March of this year, there were 275 investors with 545 ac-counts. Inofin claims to have raised $110 million during its existence. Bankruptcy docu-ments show $69 million is cur-rently owed to investors.

In a separate but related complaint, David Allan Af-feldt of Potomac, Maryland, and Thomas and Nancy Ke-ough of North Reading are charged with selling unreg-istered securities, namely the Inofin promissory notes. Af-feldt and Nancy Keough are not registered in any securities capacity.

Thomas Keough has been registered in Massachusetts with at least five firms and has an application pending for registration as a broker-dealer agent. The complaint alleges that Keough sold away from these broker dealers and seeks to deny that application.

“In soliciting investors,” the complaint states, “Inofin used written marketing and advertising materials which contained materially mislead-ing statements relative of the investment.” One document offers “guaranteed profits.”

“In reality, Inofin main-tained no mechanism or ar-rangement sufficient to ensure that investors’ principal or in-terest were guaranteed in any way,” the complaint noted.

Also, unbeknownst to in-vestors, Inofin was branching into other businesses, purchas-ing auto dealerships in Rayn-ham, Springfield, Worcester, and Providence, R.I., as well as speculative residential prop-

erties in Massachusetts and Rhode Island, Galvin’s office said. Losses from those activi-ties reduced Inofin’s solvency to the point where the state Division of Banks terminated its auto financing operation. In February, an involuntary bankruptcy petition was filed in U.S. Bankruptcy Court for Massachusetts.

The complaints seek a cease and desist order, disgorg-ing of profits from the alleged wrongdoing, and an account-ing of all proceeds received and an offer of restitution to investors for losses attribut-able to the violations.

Certified in the Graston® Technique ‘the soft tissue

injury solution”

By Corinne WoodWorth speCial to the Clipper

If you think teenagers are only interested in their own lives, there’s a new group at the high school that is ready to prove you wrong.

A team of four Duxbury High School students brought home a fifth place finish in their first ever Academic WorldQuest competition held at the Museum of Fine Arts on March 12.

Dylan Kornberg, Max Cook, Sam Wyatt and Georgia Butcher are part of the Global Engagement Club at DHS, working under the supervision of faculty advisor Chris Hil-ton. The group was founded by junior Makai McClintock, who asked Hilton if he would be interested in advising a Model United Nations Club. Their focus widened, howev-er, to studying various global events. At their meetings, they typically assign roles repre-senting the views of various countries and perform mock debates.

Senior Dylan Kornberg filled in at the last minute be-cause, “The day of the compe-tition fell on the same day as the SATs. As such, none of the juniors of the group were able to go, and I was approached by

Mr. Hilton three or four days before to help out as a sub.”

The Academic WorldQuest is sponsored by the World Af-fairs Councils of America, a group that recognized that opportunities for high school students to learn geography, world history and world af-fairs has dwindled, due to lack of funding for these programs. The competition is played be-tween four-person teams who answer 10 rounds of 10 ques-tions each. This year the top-ics included world religions, energy, global health, gender equality, and freedom of the press.

Sophomore Sam Wyatt said, “Although being a new experience, the competition was an incredibly interesting challenge. As a group, I be-lieve we were well-prepared.”

In addition to the Academ-ic World Quest, students have attended a lecture by Sebastian Junger, and they are currently planning to attend a Model United Nations Conference at Northeastern University in May, which typically attracts 400 high school students from around New England. Their interests also include foreign travel opportunities and global career forums.

The students meet on

Monday evenings, and sopho-more Georgia Butcher “would definitely encourage someone to join Global Engagement. It’s a fun environment to learn about what’s going on in the world, and most of it is stuff you should know.”

Compliance with the new state laws and regulations re-garding bullying has been a focus for the Duxbury School District this year. Each school district in Massachusetts was required to have a bullying prevention plan in place by the end of last year. The state recently gave Duxbury’s plan the thumbs up.

In a March 17 letter to Duxbury Superintendent of Schools Benedict Tantillo, As-sociate Commissioner of El-ementary and Secondary Edu-cation John L.G. Bynoe, III indicated that Duxbury’s plan included all of the required el-ements according to the new state law.

Assistant Superintendent Edwin Walsh worked on the plan along with a large task force that included staff, stu-dents, parents and community members. The group used a standard anti-bullying plan provided by the state as a tem-plate, which is likely why the feedback from the state was positive – although Walsh said some districts did have their plans kicked back for adjust-ment. He also said the poli-cies and procedures already in place in Duxbury make the task easier.

“We backfilled it with in-formation that already exist-ed,” Walsh said.

Some of the key compo-nents of the plan were estab-lishing protocols for reporting bullying – including the ability to do it anonymously – as well as a list of possible disciplin-ary actions, notification proce-dures and professional devel-opment for teachers.

The school’s work on bul-lying is on a two year cycle, Walsh said. Next year, work-

ing with each school council, the administration will work to incorporate the information into the school improvement plans, as well as the curricu-lum.

“The school councils this year have decided to use the curriculum that’s been sup-plied by Bridgewater State University,” Walsh said.

The Massachusetts Ag-gression Reduction Center at Bridgewater, also known as MARC, is run by Dr. Elizabeth Englander, who was a speaker at the Performing Arts Center last year. Walsh said many dis-tricts are looking to Englander as they develop anti-bullying measures administratively and in the school curriculum.

“Most people are using components of it. It seems to be the go-to approach right now,” he said.

Now that bullying is such a hot topic, companies have sprung up offering school re-sources – Walsh said he gets 2-3 e-mails a day.

Now that the plan has been filed with the state, Duxbury is looking towards putting it into action.

“This year more or less ... first half of the year was the research and development,” Walsh said. “Now we’re in the implementation/piloting stage.”

The plan will look differ-ent at each school, he said. At the elementary schools, teach-ers will focus on “teachable moments.”

“The teachers will look at a particular topic and as the need arises ... they’ll integrate that unit into their classes,” he said.

At the middle school, stu-dents will learn about bullying in their social studies and Eng-lish classes. At Duxbury High

School, students will tackle the topic during their advisory groups.

“It’s a menu-type curricu-lum, for lack of a better term,” Walsh said. “You pick the top-ic that’s more relevant to your school. “It’s not like a math curriculum ... it’s almost like reading a novel.”

He said it’s too early to gauge how teachers, students and parents are reacting to the plan. A survey was done at the high school, middle school and Alden and got minimal feedback. However, he said teachers appreciate having something in writing to refer to when bullying incidents do arise.

“It makes everything black and white, they know the rules of the game, so to speak,” Walsh said. “It’s a good road map. As we go through the whole process we’ll get feed-back.”

State OKs anti-bullying plan

Drop off expired and unused prescription drugs

On April 30 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. the Duxbury Board of Health, DPW, Duxbury Police Department and the Drug Enforcement Administration will give the public another opportunity to prevent pill abuse and theft by ridding their homes of potentially dangerous expired, unused, and un-wanted prescription drugs. Bring medications for disposal to Duxbury Fire Department at 668 Tremont St. The service is free and anonymous, no questions asked.

Last September, Americans turned in 242,000 pounds—121 tons—of prescription drugs at nearly 4,100 sites oper-ated by the DEA and more than 3,000 state and local law enforcement partners.

This initiative addresses a vital public safety and public health issue. Medicines that languish in home cabinets are highly susceptible to diversion, misuse, and abuse. Rates of prescription drug abuse in the U.S. are alarmingly high, as are the number of accidental poisonings and overdoses due to these drugs. Studies show that a majority of abused pre-scription drugs are obtained from family and friends, includ-ing from the home medicine cabinet. In addition, Americans are now advised that their usual methods for disposing of unused medicines—flushing them down the toilet or throw-ing them in the trash—both pose potential safety and health hazards.


It’s for youBy John Britten, Clipper Columnist

I’m considering buying a new phone and I recently read that there are over 350,000 “apps” available for downloading on the Apple iPhone. 350,000! The most

amazing thing to me about that fact, was that I had no idea what “apps” were. I am fully aware that I’m a little behind the technology curve, but I’m not all that slow, so while guessing that “apps” stood for a body part much favored in Hollywood, I typed in “app” on Google. After scrolling through the Asbury Park Press site, I learned on Google that “apps “is short for ap-plications.

Google further explained that apps ”are computer software dedicated to help the user to perform singular or multiple related specific tasks. It helps to solve problem in the real world.” That certainly sounded worthwhile so I decided to check out some of these “problem solvers” on the Apple web-site, and these folks are all real.

Smule: This is an app that allows you to convert your iP-hone into a flute. Now see, right there that’s a problem I never would have considered. So I continued to search.

Seafood watch: This app helps you choose “ocean-friend-ly” seafood. There is “ocean un-friendly” seafood? Legal seafood’s’ dirty little secret.

Remote: Here’s a good one for the remote challenged among us. With this app you can change the songs on your computer even if you’re in another room!

Gowalla: I’m not sure what this one does, but in a review by Macworld Magazine it got 4.5 Mice out of 5. Which I guess is good.

Girl scout cookie locator: This was a bit of a surprise. I mean I love Girl Scout cookies, but is there really an audience desperate to track down the cookies?

Starbucks: How can you not find a Starbucks location? But, the app promises more than just a map; it claims you can, “send your drink to friends by e-mail or Twitter!” Wouldn’t this be a little messy?

Pick-up truck: This app offers a calculator that will tell you how much you can afford to pay before you begin to ne-gotiate for that truck. I figure any guy who needs a cell phone to tell him how much he can afford probably pays full price at Joseph A. Banks.

Stylefx: A fashion app and one of my favorites. This is hosted by Clinton Kelly, who must be fairly wide-known in fashion circles, because this app actually costs money but, “it’s like having Clinton Kelly on speed dial!” In addition, you also get at no extra charge a promotional video for stylefx starring … Clinton Kelly.

Then there’s the answer to everyone’s need … “Real Housewives” guide by Bravo. Don’t even ask.

There are of course, many, many more apps available on the iphone, about 349,992 that can’t be covered here, and all very impressive, but here’s all I wanted to know: can it make phone calls?

Duxbury’s Interfaith Council, accord-ing to Harry Katz,

is “a fabulous organization made up of almost all the con-gregations in the community. We try to educate each other about our differences and ways to work together, show compassion, and bring the community together in a reli-gious way...” Fresh off his win as Duxbury’s Volunteer of the Year, Katz sat down with us and it became quite clear why he was the recipient of such a distinguished title.

When was the council formed and how many mem-bers are there? As far as we can tell, the history goes back about 75 years. 1970 was when they first put in records to the state. We have 13 member congregations, including the Muslim and Baha’ i families. There is generally one clergy member and three laity from every congregation.

How did you get involved? I was very active in the initial years of Congregation Shirat Hayam here in town. After my involvement with getting that up and running, I felt a really strong need to educate the community about Judaism. That is probably still my main mission –– to show everyone that different faiths can work together and coexist.

Can you explain the IFC’s various programs? First, we have a strong out-reach committee; we assist approximately 100 families in need, in a number of ways. We do it first in food and fuel as-sistance, rent, food vouchers, anything to get people in need the basic necessities of life. We also put together and give holiday baskets three times per year.

Secondly we have our TLC program and camperships. The TLC (teach, learn, care) pro-gram provides backpacks and back to school supplies to ap-proximately 50 children. Our campership program sends about 40-50 children to sum-mer camp, who would other-

wise not have the opportunity.And finally, we have our

No Place for Hate committee. This is something I have partic-ular pride in because I started it in Duxbury. The Anti Defama-tion League approached us af-ter a particular hate crime here in 2000. We were one of the first of 13 towns to be certified for No Place for Hate. NPFH is empowered to educate the community about diversities and to do everything possible to end hate and bigotry. I am actually now in charge of the entire New England chapter, which is very exciting for me.

Has Duxbury been sup-portive of the council’s mis-sion? One hundred percent, and we are very, very thankful for that. We have a huge group of volunteers who make it all happen. We couldn’t do it oth-erwise.

What has been the big-gest challenge the council has faced thus far? The recession has been a challenge because the need for outreach has in-creased. Back in the ‘90s we always had a “slush fund,” that disappeared in the early 2000s and we never really recovered from that. But, all we have to do is ask and the community is so amazing, they just give.

Do other towns have in-terfaith councils? We don’t know of any other town that does what we do; we are a model for other town pro-

grams. I really believe we are unique in what we do; we are a very special entity.

Is there any emphasis on or involvement in world reli-gious issues? Yes. When 9/11 occurred we led a large town vigil, and we are also currently planning the 10th anniversary memorial. We also had a can-dlelight vigil when the war in Afghanistan started.

Has there been anyone particularly inspiring you’ve met through the council? A woman by the name of Torey Andrade. She was a victim of a terrible hate crime in the Myles Standish State Forest six years ago. She was from this area originally and was back on vacation. After hearing of the event I called her, think-ing I would leave a voicemail and hear nothing back. She returned my call half an hour later. We got her help through the ADL and went to court with her when her perpetrators were tried, which was quite an experience – being in the pres-ence of these people of hate. I got to know Torey extremely well; she opened my eyes to how hurtful hate can be.

Do you think young people today are more open minded about religion? Tough question. I think they are more open minded about interfaith. I think we’ve done a great job in Duxbury to do that.

Harry Katz has been involved with the Duxbury Interfaith Council and No Place for Hate for years. He recently received the Community Volunteer of the Year award from The Village.

Lic#12287-B INSURED

Keeping an eye on Pilgriman earthquake and tsunami that damaged the plant. Gover-nor Deval Patrick held several meetings over the last couple of weeks with nuclear officials and the legislature held a hear-ing with a panel of experts. (Lampert did not speak in the hearing but was allowed to submit written testimony.)

She is unimpressed with promises from nuclear offi-cials to self-police, and wants an independent panel to evalu-ate Pilgrim.

“Self-assessment doesn’t make me sleep any better,” Lampert said. “All I’m look-ing for is an honest assessment so that things that could go wrong, won’t go wrong.”

Lampert has been in-volved in nuclear issues since she moved to town in 1986. In the mid-80s, Pilgrim had shut down because of safety issues and activist groups sprang up throughout the South Shore.

“The community at that time was organized because there was a definable goal –– let’s not let it go back online,” Lampert said (although she added shutting the plant down is not her current goal.)

Nuclear power was a hot topic in those days, with the state doing a study on leuke-mia, the department of health looking at the effects of nucle-ar power – Senator Ted Ken-nedy even held a public forum in Plymouth to listen to the public concerns.

“There was a lot going on,” Lampert said.

After the reactor went back online, a lot of the opposition groups fractured and drifted apart, Lampert said.

“A lot of people had the feeling that you can’t beat city hall,” she said.

Lampert now heads the group Pilgrim Watch.

“The little town of Dux-bury has done a lot,” she said.

Despite her passion on the issues, she bristles at the term “anti-nuclear activist,” often used to describe her in the press. She says her main goal isn’t the eradication of nuclear power, rather, to make sure plants like Pilgrim are operat-ing safely.

“I know that place isn’t go-ing to close ... I don’t work on that,” she said. “My focus has

been on reducing risk.”Lampert’s two main issues

concerning Pilgrim, at the mo-ment, are spent fuel storage and the electrical power neces-sary to power safety systems. (Both were issues at the Fuku-shima plant.)

Pilgrim stores spent fuel rods in a pool of water to control the radiation the rods generate. Lampert says that Pilgrim’s pool was designed to hold 880 assemblies. The Nuclear Regulatory Commis-sion, or NRC, allowed Pilgrim to amend their license to hold 3,859 assemblies in the same place by packing the assem-blies closer together. She said that Pilgrim did not plan for long term spent fuel storage because officials believed there would be a national nuclear fuel storage facility at Yucca Mountain, Nevada, which has since been nixed.

If the water in the pool drops due to human error, power loss or a terrorist attack, a fire would start that can’t be put out by traditional means.

“If they burst into flames, you can’t put it out,” Lampert said. “No one’s going to be there with a hose, trust me.”

The safest thing to do, ac-cording to Lampert, is to store the spent fuel rods in some-thing called “dry casks.”

Pilgrim recently said they would start using the dry casks, starting in 2014. However, Lampert is still skeptical.

“They have no intention of spending that money unless they’re politically pushed to do so,” Lampert said.

Another big safety issue for Lampert is the off-site power that is required to pow-er the plant’s safety system in the event of a shutdown. The cables that carry backup power to Pilgrim are in a wet environ-

ment, which she says is unsafe – and it specifically prohibited in the NRC’s rules.

“The NRC is not enforc-ing their own regulations,” she said. “It doesn’t take a nuclear engineer to understand it rains and snows here.”

Loss of back up power was part of the problem at the Fuk-ishima plant, since the earth-quake in Japan damaged the power grid.

Lampert is currently in-volved in litigation with Pil-grim over the plant’s relicens-ing, scheduled for 2012. If granted, the license would allow the plant to operate un-til 2032. She got involved in 2006, setting up the Web site pilgrimwatch.org.

“The thought was to get the public interested in this so they could take part if noth-ing else in the public hearing,” she said. Her case is tricky, because the NRC limits what stakeholders can bring to a re-licensing discussion.

“All the things we care about like emergency plan-ning, health issues , spent fuel storage, etc. are taken off the table,” she said.

Instead, she has to focus on specific issues, like the containment for buried com-ponents.

Lampert has dedicated massive amounts of time and money to this issue. At one point she had a lawyer helping her out, but after the woman moved, she was on her own. (Lampert’s husband is an attor-ney but he can’t get involved because of potential conflicts of interest.)

“Let’s face it, I do not have a staff, I’m not a lawyer,” she said. “It’s ruined my life, but it’s been very interesting.”

Relicensing can be a 30 month period, but the Pilgrim case has dragged on for six years. Yet Lampert is upbeat, and has lost none of her pas-sion for the subject.

“I got into a world that has been interesting and put me in touch with very interesting people,” she said.”I think it’s important, maybe a lot of other people don’t think it’s impor-tant, and that’s fine ... I don’t have any regrets.”

Students from seven area schools - Duxbury High School, Norwell High School, Rockland High School, Sacred Heart High School, Sci-tuate High School, Silver Lake Regional High School, and the South Shore Charter School - will exhibit their outdoor installations on the grounds of The Art Complex Museum in Dux-bury from May 15 until June 5.

After viewing slides on public art, students develop and present their proposals, choose a specific site, and create their work. By becom-ing involved, students learn how a museum works. Often, their ideas, materials and final works are as varied as the students themselves.

A reception is scheduled for Sunday, May

22 from 1:30-3:30 p.m. during which students will conduct a walking tour and discuss their work. Other receptions, that day, will be for Back Forty which shows current works in a variety of media by artists who have exhibited at the museum over the last forty years; Staff Favorites, museum staff members’ choices of their favorite pieces from the collection and Portals: The Dimensional Imagery of Digital Atelier, work exploring the concept of por-tals as present reality and a bridge to artificial worlds. The program is free and supported by the Carl A. Weyerhaeuser Family Charitable Trusts, by gifts from friends of the museum and the Duxbury Cultural Council.

in Winthrop, also praised Katz’s work.

“His passion – and his compassion – are conta-gious,” Fagan said.

Katz was humbled by the honor – and instead of a lengthy acceptance speech, chose to remind the audience that the Interfaith Council’s Spring Basket Project is un-derway.

“This really is about ev-erybody in the room,” Katz said. “We’re all in it together ... that’s what makes Duxbury a beautiful community.”

The celebration of vol-unteerism is held every year and nominees are named by their peers in the community. Those honored come from all walks of Duxbury life and include people who have worked with seniors, school children and town govern-ment officials.

In addition to Katz, 11 women were honored – along with the entire staff of the Duxbury Thrift Shop. While the winner is always a special volunteer, much of the honor of the event comes just from being nominated,

speakers said.“It’s a recognition – but

it’s certainly not a competi-tion,” said Fagan at the be-ginning of the event. “We’re fortunate to have you in our community.”

The first nomination of the evening was tinged with sadness. The event’s orga-nizers chose to honor Joe Shea, a tireless volunteer who passed away this year.

While Shea has make a noticeable impact on Dux-bury, he had never been a nominee before – mostly be-

cause he always refused the honor.

“Joe’s dedication to his country as a veteran, his town, his church and most importantly his family, were legendary,” said Fagan. “Joe fought long and hard for the things he believed in.”

Shea’s children, David and Susan, accepted the hon-or for their father.

“He was very proud to live in this town,” said David Shea.

Duxbury Police to offer RAD training starting April 25

Duxbury Police Department is proud to offer the RAD Pro-gram. RAD is a self-defense course specifically for women and girls 13 years and up. This course differs from other self-de-fense programs in that it provides a foundation of risk reduction through avoidance strategies in addition to active defense tactics. Because this class emphasizes awareness as well as self-defense, it addresses the threat from both a stranger and an acquaintance perspective. Our next session will start on Monday, April 25 for four weeks from 6-8 p.m. held at the Duxbury Senior Center on Mayflower Street. The course fee of $25 provides the student with a R.A.D. program membership which includes a lifetime return and practice invitation anywhere there is a R.A.D. Pro-gram being offered at no additional cost.

Applications are available at the Duxbury Police Depart-ment. For further information, contact Sgt. Kristin Golden at 781-934-5656 ext. 41.

A new era in

whether Magnuson had the time to commit to the duties of the chairman, such as meeting with the superintendent to set the meeting agendas, due to his travel demands, but Mag-nuson said he didn’t foresee his job getting in the way of his School Committee duties.

“It may be tough for me to get in and sign a warrant from 8 to 4, but if I have to do it I will,” he said.

Heinstadt, who would have been next in line for the posi-tion by seniority, nominated Connolly for the chairmanship after declining her nomina-tion so he could focus on the School Building Committee. Mary Lou Buell, who nomi-nated Magnuson, said she felt he was the best at communicat-ing the intentions of the board, and that he was qualified for the position.

“The communication piece is a big one for me,” Buell said. “I think Gary does a great job articulating what the other opinions of the members are.”

After the election of Mag-nuson, Buell nominating out-going chairman Anne Ward for the vice chairman position while Heinstadt again nomi-nated Connolly. Ward was elected by the same 3-2 major-ity over Connolly’s calls for a leadership position on the board.

“It just seems to me at this point it is an issue of fairness,” she said. “All of us are good leaders, all of us have different styles of leadership and I need to be given a chance.”

While the reorganization of the board was contentious, the committee was unani-mous in voting to approve the requests of athletic director Thom Holdgate to increase the Duxbury High School athletic fees and fund a varsity girls volleyball program. The fees will increase by $15 to $225

per sport, with a family cap of five fees. Holdgate said the fee increase was necessary be-cause the athletic department now has to fully pay for their athletic training where they had previous split his contract with Jordan Hospital. In addi-tion, an increases in dues and official fees from the MIAA is expected in the fall. Holdgate said there may also be man-dates from the MIAA regard-ing concussion prevention and increases in transportation cost that also contributed to his re-quest.

“It’s a lot of new things that add up,” he said. “Basi-cally, my operating budget is mostly user fees.”

Holdgate also plans to fund the head volleyball coach position out of the user fees and make the ski coach posi-tion a paid position. Volleyball was a club sport at the high school last year, and the pro-gram has already fundraised to buy most of the equipment needed to hold matches in the high school gym. Holdgate added that the program saw strong numbers without nega-tively impacting the other girls fall sports, which left him con-fident the school could support a the program.

“Basically, almost 60 girls signed up that may not have played a fall sport otherwise,” he said. “You can only keep about 40 [between freshmen, JV and varsity], but we’d be bringing in 40 new user fees.”

Debate over school board chaircontinued from page one IN OTHER BUSINESS:

• The board heard propos-als from New England School Development Council and Future Management Systems about developing a new stra-tegic plan for the district. They will discuss the propos-als at their next meeting.

• Superintendent Benedict Tantillo said they have received four proposals from firms applying to be the designer for the new high school/middle school and will conduct interviews on April 26 and 27.

• High school teacher Julie Papageorge introduced high school AFS students Carlos Uribe from Chile and Julia Reymond from Germany to the committee to discuss their experiences in Duxbury.

•The committee recognized the Duxbury High School swim team for their champi-onship winter season.

• Assistant Superintendent Edwin Walsh briefed the committee on upcoming changes to the curriculum in preparation for the new PART test. Walsh said the changes which will be presented to the board at a later date.

• The committee read a sum-mary of their evaluation of Superintendent Benedict Tantillo into the meeting min-utes.

The Duxbury School Building Committee will interview four architectural firms on the evenings of Tuesday April 26 and Wednesday April 27, beginning at 6 p.m. in Alden Elementary School, Room 104. The four model school designers, Ai3 Architects, Flansburgh Architects, Mount Vernon Group Architects and Symmes Maini & McKee Associates, will each be given 45 minutes to present their proposal with 45 minutes allotted for questions following the presentation. In their presentations, the designers will demonstrate how their plans would accommodate Duxbury’s educational needs and adapt to the site.

The senior tax work-off program has been expanded to include five more participants; the Board of Selectmen ap-proved this action last week.

Selectmen voted unani-mously to expand the program from 15 to 20 seniors, which brings its total cost to $20,000. It is funded through the over-lay reserve account, which is used to pay for real estate tax abatements and exemptions.

The program was approved by Town Meeting in 1995 and back then, it allowed seniors to earn up to $500 off their taxes by working 100 hours at $5 an hour. Five seniors par-ticipated. This number rose to 10 in 2007.

Now, senior citizens can earn $1,000 off their real estate tax bill by working 125 hours for the town, assisting in vari-ous departments in town hall.

Currently, 15 seniors par-ticipate and five more are on a waiting list, said Council on Aging Director Joanne Moore. Over that last 16 years, 131 residents have earned the tax abatement.

In a memo to selectmen, Moore called the program “ a win-win” for the town and for seniors.

“Qualified volunteers as-sist departments with specific assignments and the senior is able to reduce their tax burden and stay in a town they love,” wrote Moore.

Seniors help in at least

eight different town depart-ments performing various duties such as answering the telephones at the senior center and at the Fire Department, selling burning permits and beach stickers, checking stick-ers at the transfer station and helping organize, run and lead programs at the senior center.

The selectmen also wel-comed anyone interested in serving on a committee to organize a 375th birthday cel-ebration to contact the town managers office and fill out a talent bank form. This specific committee will work with the July 4th activities committee to commemorate the town’s 375 birthday.

tax work-off program expanded

By Corrinne WoodWorth speCial to the Clipper

The halls at the high school may have been empty without the students, but the classrooms were filled with lively discussions as the teach-ers shared the best examples of their work with each other.

DHS faculty members spent their professional devel-opment day on Friday, March 11 analyzing the data collected to date as part of the self-study for the New England Associa-tion of Schools and Colleges accreditation visit scheduled for the fall of 2011.

“The best part of the day was watching the collabora-tion among colleagues and the consensus building that is an important part of this process,” said Donna Holt, Co-Chair of the NEASC Steering Commit-tee. “I’m thrilled with how the day went. Everyone was ac-tively involved.”

Teachers are assigned to committees that represent each of the seven standards that will be evaluated by the NEASC visiting committee. The stan-dards include core values, curriculum, instruction, as-sessment, school culture and leadership, school resources for learning, and community resources for learning.

Prior to the professional day teachers collected sample student work, lesson plans and tests that demonstrate the scope of the work undertaken at the high school. Hundreds of docu-ments were sorted by standard, then reviewed in committee. These documents provided the opportunity for teachers to see what their colleagues in other departments do.

“You can feel the pride and excitement of everyone involved,” said Cheryl Lewis, Steering Committee Co-Chair-woman.

The New England Asso-ciation of Schools and Col-

leges is a voluntary member-ship organization of more than 2,000 public schools, colleges and universities, independent schools, and vocational/techni-cal and career institutions. Ap-proximately 650 public schools throughout New England are currently accredited through the Association’s Commission on Public Secondary Schools. The Commission works with individual schools to improve the quality of their programs at all levels through a process of self-study, evaluation and follow-up activities.

“I love the process,” said principal Andrew Stephens. “It asks us to turn a critical eye to things we do well and also serves as a basis for what we need to do in the future.”

At the end of the day Kate Donovan, a teacher in the math department, said, “Many of our lessons already engage stu-dents and personalize to their needs. We don’t have to look hard to find evidence for good instruction.”

Veteran social stud-ies teacher John Fernandes summed up the experience. “We are immersed, most of-ten, in our own instruction to the point of not being able to see the larger picture. Looking at the ‘finest’ intermittently is clearly valuable to effective education.”

The teachers will continue the self-study throughout the next year in preparation for the fall 2012 visit.

DHS faculty self-study shows positive results, say teachers

Math teacher Sonya Hasan and English teacher Mark Regalbuto work on the report for the instruction standard.

The saddest birdBy fahy ByGate, Clipper Columnist

Despite the gray skies and chilly winds no one who is paying attention can deny that spring is creeping up on us. Red-winged Blackbirds have been back

for weeks, the males coming first to select the best nest-build-ing sites. Just this past week all the usual early suspects have been seen. Piping Plovers are set up on Duxbury Beach, right on time. Killdeers are where they are supposed to be: in the soccer field behind the Percy Walker Pool. Birders are report-ing American Woodcocks doing their extraordinary mating display in meadows and fields at dusk. Look for them at last light at the Audubon “farm” in Marshfield. And at dawn this past weekend, I heard the un-mistakable spring “song” of the Mourning Dove.

The moaning call of this bird is particularly sad and persistent. It has been known to drive some older women to pound on the bedroom window screaming. At dawn. I am always amazed when I meet some-one who is not driven mad by that downward, lonely cooing sound. Most doves have some sort of sad cooing. The little Inca Dove of the southwest calls “no hope, no hope.” Some-times people mistake the early morning call of the Mourning Dove for an owl.

Mourning Doves are small, dumpy birds about 12 inches with heads very small relative to the body. They are fawn-colored with black spots on their backs and pink feet and legs. They have a long pointed tail with large white outer tail feath-ers. The crown of the males has a tinge of blue. They forage around on the ground looking for seeds, then with the help of a little gravel they sit around digesting. Despite their pudgy appearance, doves are good fliers and are most beautiful when in the air.

Males perform a mating ritual by flying up, beating their wings to make an irresistible (to the females) noise and then they glide down and dove-like they puff up their chests and make that horrific cooing sound again. Then, the female builds a not-so durable nest with materials collected for her by the male. Sometimes the nest is so flimsy that the eggs have been known to fall through the cracks. Luckily, doves build nests close to the ground! She lays two eggs and together they incu-bate the eggs. Both males and females feed the resulting young (squabs). Remarkably, doves, both male and female are able to produce a high-protein digestive liquid called “pigeon milk” with which they feed the young.

The conservation status of Mourning Doves is of least concern with up to 40-70 million shot by hunters each year. It is the State Bird of Peace in both Wisconsin and Michigan. If you can work out all the contradictions in those two sentences, let me know.

Katz is one deserving volunteer

Although all of the folks nominated for the Community Volunteer of the Year award are wonderful people who have given so much to

Duxbury, we can’t think of a more deserving recipient than Harry Katz.

Katz has been one of the most visible faces of the Duxbury Interfaith Council for years, and has been a major contributor toward all the good work done by that organization. He’s not someone who seeks out the spotlight, but his impact is widely felt around town.

His nominator and compatriot on the Interfaith Council, Rev. Roy

Tripp, put it best when calling Katz “the conscience of the community.” He is truly a peaceful man who works hard to make Duxbury a better place to live, and his positive attitude is infectious.

In addition to his work with the council, Katz heads up Duxbury’s No Place for Hate Committee, which has done tremendous work over the past couple of years. It’s tough to think about an intelligent community like Duxbury being a place where hate might grow, but we have some (blessedly) rare examples – including the event that spurred the group’s inception and a racially-motivated beating by a Duxbury man a few years ago – which only illustrate the fact that we can never stop preaching peace and tolerance. Duxbury is a better community for having people like Katz in it.

In addition to Katz’s award, we have to commend the staff at the Village for honoring the late Joe Shea. Shea always shunned the limelight during his life – he steadfastly refused to be nominated for this award, for example – but there are few people who shared his impact on the community. From his work on access for the disabled to his herculean efforts to restore the World War I monument, Shea changed Duxbury for the better.

Kudos to the Village and all the nominees for another well-run and meaningful event.

–– J. Graeber

A few things have bubbled to the sur-face from reading

the last couple of months of the Clipper. First (and irrespective of the outcome, in my opinion), that “motion to reconsider” ma-neuver on the Blairhaven vote was pretty questionable even by the lofty standards set here “Inside The Beltway.” Was a new moderator taken advan-tage of?

Second, It’s interesting to note the simultaneous chang-ing-of-hands both of Westwinds in Duxbury and Politics and Prose here in Washington, DC. You’ve got to hope that there’s

in place in communities small and large for the independent bookstore. Each of us should pay the extra few dollars every now and then to patronize them, for those communities’ sake.

And finally, I note with sympathy the passing of John Taft. His family was a quiet and valuable part of my upbringing in Duxbury; the kids (from a bit older to my own age) wove in and out and were always re-ally nice; and when they all were busy “Mr. Taft” would occasionally call me to go sail-ing in a weekend race (primar-ily as ballast, I presume, but to enough effect that I once was

able to impress my wife with my “sailing skills.”) I loved getting out on the water (and still do, although it happens all too infrequently), and Mr. Taft was a delightful captain.

I’m sure that’s part of why I think the Duxbury Bay Mari-time School is the greatest thing to happen to the town in years, reconnecting its kids with the bay and its place in town his-tory. I applaud everyone who keeps fighting to keep that his-tory alive and well (the farther away I get, the more vivid it becomes).

As you know I am not often speechless, but your article on

March 30th has left me speech-less, humbled and grateful. It is wonderful to know that some people feel that way about me.

Now if I could convince the Finance Committee and the Board of Selectmen, I would

really feel great. They are re-sponsible for my salary request voted on in Article 3 at the An-nual Meeting.

You may have heard that Article 3 is where the people who elect me set my salary, but it has been hashed over before you get to make a deci-sion. I refer to myself as Rod-

ney Dangerfield. Thank you for your kindness. I have loved this Town since I was 10 years old and it is a love affair that never ends. See I lied, I am not ever speechless.

Nancy OatesTown Clerk

On behalf of the All-Sports Tag Sale to Benefit Crossroads

for Kids, thanks to the numer-ous Duxbury families who do-nated and purchased so many terrific sports items, helping us raise over $3,300 which will pay for two kids to attend camp this coming summer! Every donation, large or small, helps in this town-wide effort for an excellent cause. For those of

you unfamiliar with Crossroads for Kids, it is a camp in West Duxbury for at-risk youth and an unbelievably well-run orga-nization.

We would also like to thank the Duxbury Clipper and WATD for their generous pub-licity, the Haffey and Vercol-lone families for our location fee, and the Senior Center for having the perfect venue. To our signage and pricing crews,

break-down team, and sale vol-unteers, I hope you know this event would not happen with-out all of your help and for that I’m truly grateful.

Please mark your calen-dars for the same weekend next year and save your used sports equipment for us to sell.

Selden TearseChairwoman

As we watched the latest School Com-mittee meeting, we

could not help but notice how one School Committee mem-ber always stands out. Maureen Connolly shows up to every meeting with a thorough and well-researched understand-ing of the current issues and a willingness to respectfully lis-ten and consider differing opin-ions.

There is no hidden agenda here, no self-motivated back-room alliances, just a dedicated

public servant with common sense. Maureen is a true leader and someone that those new to town offices ought to study under and learn from. With so many changes on the horizon for Duxbury, it’s a relief to know that there are quality peo-ple in office who recognize that they are there to represent the will of the people. Thank you Maureen for serving our town with respect and integrity!

To the parents of the DHS student that stole our daughter’s

Varsity DBMS crew blue and white rugby shirt a week ago Friday from her gym basket in the girls locker room. Yes, your daughter is smart, she pulled it through the small openings. The next time you see this in your daughter’s laundry, on your daughter, in her backpack, car or on her bedroom floor, please ask yourself did my child go erging, rowing, run-ning to Myles Standish Monu-ment, training at Dragon’s Lair, lifting, stacking, clean-ing and strategizing five days a week from 3:15 until dark every night in a van to Billings Sea in Plymouth for one fall, at DBMS another fall and two summers of heat and a winter with Dragon’s Lair.

Every Saturday waking up at 4:30 a.m. to leave to go to Conn., Worcester, New Hamp-shire, Merrimack, Lowell, and when you get to these destina-tions your in the dark until the

sun comes up, freezing air and water, no buildings to keep you warm, no heaters and your wait-ing your turn until your team is called to represent Duxbury. the town your child lives in. Did your child work hard for three teams, two girls teams and one boys teams. Does she row or is she a coxswain? Right, she doesn’t even know what that is, she is too busy stealing other people’s titles! She couldn’t handle what these rowers do in a day or she would have tried out for rowing. Guess she couldn’t handle it.

If you’re wondering why our daughter’s name isn’t on it, it is, it’s on the collar so when

the wind is hitting them in the back they can keep warm on the water. The name KELTON is on it. The name is probably hiding behind your daughter’s ponytail so you just don’t see it.

If your feeling at all bad about having seen this at your house or on your child, just re-turn it to us, or the school or the gym teacher. We just want it back. Do the right thing. This letter is for all the parents that this has happened to. There’s more meaning than just a rugby shirt.

SUMMER BREAK CLASSES AVAILABLE!

By AlexAndrA HAllowell SpeciAl to tHe clipper

So some of you may be curious what my blog or Twit-ter handle Death by Dolmus refers to. A dolmuş, (pro-nounced DOL-mush,) is often explained as a “shared taxi,” but I rarely find this explana-tion useful and it’s not terribly correct. Dolmuşes are perhaps best described as a bus-cum-death-trap-on-wheels, but al-low me to elaborate.

If you have ever traveled to North Africa, the Middle East, certain parts of Africa or of course Turkey, you may have seen over-loaded mini-busses zooming down the streets. One of their hallmarks is that they rarely come to a complete halt. They slow to a rolling “stop” where passengers can jump on or off as needed. In Turkey all one need do is nod your head at an oncoming dolmuş, the driver then pulls to the side of the highway where you quick-ly jump on, offer him your fare (usually about $0.60) and try to find a seat. When you arrive at your destination you yell out “Inecek var!” something roughly translating to “I’m getting off!” where the driver swerves to the side of the road, throws the engine into neutral while you jump off, hopefully landing on your feet.

Some dolmuş drivers take great pride in their vehicles, installing colored lights (blue seems to be a favorite), recov-ering the seats in festive fabrics, or the steering wheel and pas-senger handrails in faux-wood finishes, while others turn it into a shrine for their favorite soccer teams. Others follow a simpler motif and only include prayers of safety (Bismillahir-rahmanirrahim is a popular one), or sometimes sticker de-

cals of their children’s names with their pictures taped to the dashboard. It’s an interesting way to explore Turkish culture without being intrusive, and it’s been one of my favorite ways of peering quietly into Turkish life.

Now, this is Turkey, so there are no published dolmuş routes, and there are no specif-ic stops. Typically these busses crop up in neighborhoods that are poorly served by the city bus or run routes connecting neighborhoods otherwise left isolated by public transporta-tion. And, while it is frustrat-ing to figure out exactly where they run, it’s a highly logical system that has materialized out of organic community need and often offers passengers a legitimate, quality alternative to the typically over-laden city busses.

Dolmuşes may not ap-pear to be ideal modes of transportation, but they are a fascinating example of entre-preneurship and community engagement. Typically run by a cooperative-esque group of individuals, these businessmen organize themselves accord-ing to routes, often coloring

their busses to indicate which route they run. They set city-wide rates that are published in each dolmuş, ensuring no pas-senger is taken advantage of; they also offer reduced student prices that equal the city’s dis-counts. When a new commu-nity is built, you can be sure an industrious dolmuş driver will be quick to bring his services to the neighborhood.

I love dolmuşes and while they are terrifying, with the driver simultaneously smok-ing a cigarette, chatting on his phone and attempting to down-shift at an upcoming red light, I think it might be in my top five favorite things about this country. I’m still trying to figure out how to export the concept to the US, but in the meantime I sightsee and im-prove my Turkish while high on a rush of adrenaline.

Alexandra Hallowell is a 2005 DHS graduate and is currently a Fulbright English Teaching Fellow in Tekirdağ, Turkey. She will be sharing her experiences here in the Clip-per and you can follow her on Twitter at @deathbydolmus or on her blog at deathbydolmus.wordpress.com.

Local residents can be a part of Dux-bury history by con-

tributing family photos to a digital collection documenting local history. This event will be hosted in collaboration with the Duxbury Rural and His-torical Society in the attempt to tell the story of Duxbury through family photographs and stories.

On April 30, current and former residents of Duxbury are invited to bring to the event three to five photos that represent themselves, their families and/or their commu-nity, whether very recently or generations ago. Any photos are welcome: family reunions, special occasions, snapshots, candids, weddings, military service, etc. Old or new—unframed originals preferred. Pictures can be brought to the Village at Duxbury, 290 Kings Town Way, from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. The photos will be scanned onsite, and the originals will be immediately returned to

their owners. There will also be a video area where indi-viduals will have the option to tell a brief story about their photos on camera. All scanned images will become part of the Drew Archival Library, lo-cated at 147 St. George Street, Duxbury.

Duxbury Through Film is a collaboration between three Duxbury High School seniors and the Duxbury Rural and Historical Society. Together with local volunteers, we hope to create a comprehensive photographic collection which will cover the last century of

Duxbury’s history. Often this time period is overlooked as being too recent to be consid-ered history, but we recognize that it is important to collect the first-person accounts of the people who lived during this time period to provide future residents with an accurate his-torical account. Using the pho-tographs, information, and vid-eo footage collected during the event, we will consolidate this information into a short film, to be made available through the Drew Archival Library, the Duxbury Free Library, and the Duxbury High School.

The earthquake and tsuna-mi in Japan got some teachers at Chandler asking the ques-tion –– How could our students at Chandler School help the children in Japan? After some brainstorming and research with teachers and administra-tors, Mrs. Doyle, Chandler Spanish teacher, discovered that OSHKOSH was sponsor-ing the Cranes for Kids pro-gram.

For every crane we make, OSHKOSH will send an article of clothing to the children of Japan. Why cranes you might ask? In the culture of Japan, cranes symbolize health and well wishes. It is believed in Ja-pan that for every 1,000 origa-mi cranes received a wish can be granted. With that thought in mind, Mrs. Doyle and Mrs. Caffrey, Chandler art teacher, undertook the task of teaching the students to make a paper crane during Art and Spanish classes throughout the week of April 11-15. The crane making was optional for pre-school and kindergarten classes. The end result was nearly 1,000 paper cranes made by Chan-dler students. These cranes mean that almost 1,000 pieces of clothing will be donated to Japanese children. The paper cranes will be delivered to the

OSHKOSH store by April 25. It was a tremendous sight to see the children reaching the to our global neighbors and mak-

ing a difference in the lives of the children of Japan.

Chandler students display the paper cranes they have been folding in support of the children of Japan. Oshkosh will donate a piece of children’s clothing for every crane.

Over a century ago an agri-cultural depression drove destitute rural families into

New York City. Concerned philanthro-pists asked, “What is the matter with the land of New York State that it can-not support its own population?” Anna Botsford Comstock told the story in the preface to her ground-breaking 1911 book, “Handbook of Nature Study,” a rich compilation of hands-on les-

son plans for rural elementary school teachers to use to remedy the underly-ing problem: farms, forests, the whole rural environment had been stripped of fertility by a profound disconnection

between Nature and American citizens – from farmers to townspeople. She contended that personal, experiential learning about natural cycles could restore the needed balance of nature, refresh the minds and bodies of the pupils (and teachers), and repair the wounded agricultural environment.

In 2005, Richard Louv published “Last Child in the Woods: saving our children from nature-deficit disorder.” Nature Deficit Disorder (he coined the

CUSTOM INTERIOR FINISHES

By mike Halloran, sports editor [email protected]

She’s been a winner all her life in a very positive way and she plans to keep it up in her first year of coaching the DHS girls’ lacrosse team.

Kelly Jurgens, a DHS guid-ance counselor, brings a re-sume as one of the best female high school lacrosse players to ever come out of Massachu-setts. As a former All-Scho-lastic and All-American from Needham High School and two-time captain at Boston University, she helped lead the Terriers to three America East championships and No. 3 na-tional ranking her senior year.

While being a great player doesn’t necessarily mean you can coach, her experience as the head coach at Weston High School, where she led the team to the sectional finals in three of her four years, should gives fans the assurance that AD Thom Holdgate has picked the right person to lead a team that last won the state title in 2007 under former Coach Sue Paul.

While a tough opening loss to Wellesley (12-8) put a damper on the start of her DHS coaching career, three blow-out wins over North Quincy (15-0), Pembroke (17-2), and Hanover (16-3) were good warm-ups for the Westborough and Westwood teams that the Lady Dragons will face in the next five days.

Jurgens is ready to take on the iron when it comes to the rest of her 2011 schedule that includes games with Lon-donderry, a NH power, Hing-ham, Weston, Scituate, Hop-kinton and Norwell.

“I’m a very optimistic per-son, and if we find there are things that are wrong with this team, we have the talent and

the ability to fix anything,” said Duxbury’s first-year coach.

So far nothing looks bro-ken, but the next two games should give Jurgens a much better assessment of her team, who she feels will be led by a great senior class that includes captains: BU-bound Siobhan McCarthy, Columbia-bound Charlotte Cipolletti and Stone-hill-bound Keri Gould.

“All of these kids are great leaders and they want to carry this team on their shoulders,” Jurgens said.

Added to this trio of senior veterans are seniors Olivia McCarthy, Devan Bahr, Jenna Cusick, Stephanie Lenhardt and Sara Varano.

While leadership can cer-tainly carry a team through

tough times, it’s talent that will win most of the games and the Lady Dragons have it. Jurgens will have Gould and McCa-rthy starting up front, where they are joined by sophomore Hannah Murphy, who brings her hockey scoring touch to the table, and classmate Chris-tina Balzotti.

“Hannah has a strong shot and can certainly find the back of the net, while Balzotti is a very smart playmaker with good field sense and a great shot as well.”

While youth will play a major role for the Duxbury of-fense, steady and dependable seniors Gould and McCarthy provide excellent one-on-one ability in the offensive zone, with Gould especially effec-

tive around the crease.Jurgens expects big things

from her midfielders because she considers all her starters offensive threats.

“McCarthy can go from good to great,” says her coach. “She has an incredible work ethic and battles for every-thing. She is an unsung hero because she does everything, as well as score and defend.”

In a game where speed is paramount, the Lady Dragons have theirs in junior Molly Za-verucha.

“Nobody can catch her,” said Jurgens. “She’s quick, fast, and really helps our tran-sition game.”

Junior Emily Horton rounds out the midfield with

Winning isn’t just for Charlie

How often do you come to the Duxbury Library Book Series?

Lisa Pattinson, Beth Halligan and Megan McClure Koss, chair-women of the Community Garden Club of Duxbury Standard Flower Show and Plant Sale, tour the newly restored Tarkiln Community Center which will be the site of the event scheduled for May 13-14.

Garden Club Flower Show


term) echoes Anna Comstock’s concern, but stresses the detri-mental effects on children of being increasingly insulated from the natural world of fields, woods, and streams that was once the center stage for children’s growth, play, and development. Life in nature has been supplanted by life on line.

Of course, Louv is no dodo. He knows that technology is here to stay, but he writes on his Web site, “The future will be-long to the nature-smart—those individuals, families, business-es, and political leaders who develop a deeper understanding of the transformative power of the natural world and who balance the virtual with the real. The more high-tech we become, the more nature we need.”

Enter the Duxbury Interfaith Council, and you, with your bright, shining smile. In the next couple of weeks, the DIC will launch this year’s Summer Campership drive to send Duxbury children to camp. The cost is about $500 per child. Kids go to the Duxbury Recreation Department Day Camp, the YMCA Camp in Hanover, or Camp Wing. For most, the experience is the highlight of their summer.

What’s this about your bright shining smile? For the second year, Wiemeyer Dentistry, 104 Tremont St., Duxbury, will donate $15 to the DIC for every set of teeth they clean in May. It adds up, and they hope to donate $5,000 this year, like last year. You’ll need to brush on your own for a couple more weeks – the program starts May 1.

I love the connection. You all smile, and you help with the 40 to 50 Duxbury kids that DIC hopes to support. In addition, about 50 kids will receive filled backpacks for their return to school in the fall. Those cost about $100, depending on the child’s grade. The equipment wish-list includes everything from boxes of crayons to the snazzy and expensive TI-83 cal-culators required for certain classes.

Anna Comstock would be pleased. She loved education as much as she loved nature. One of the first woman admitted to Cornell University, she devoted herself to teaching teach-ers to teach nature study to children, often in the best setting (outdoors), and always with an eye to the real thing, not just pictures.

Of course, an all-too-brief session at summer camp might not change the world, but it might change a kid, and interests are funny, whimsical things. They often hinge on stories that begin with, “Then one day…” Katy Payne, the “Elephant Whisperer,” was called to her ground-breaking work after a chance experience hearing elephant rumbles in a zoo. No one had ever noticed them before, but her musical experience (also at Cornell) had tuned her ear to the deepest sounds, like the lowest pedal notes of a pipe organ. She guessed (rightly) that they were communicating. Who knows what natural moment will capture the mind of a Duxbury kid this summer? No, they won’t all become naturalists or environmental activists. But then again, they might, and they’ll all be smiling.

her playmaking skills and good game sense that allows her to be a major contributor on both ends of the field.

Cipolletti will be the lead-er on the back line with her dogged defensive work, while Bahr has the speed that allows Jurgens to match her up with her opponent’s top forwards.

Cusick has shown Jurgens

she has all the makings of a sol-id defender, while junior Grace Nissi has moved to defense after Jurgens felt the strength of her attacks warranted using Nissi’s athleticism in the back where her speed can help the offensive transition.

The one area that can make or break any team is in net, and Duxbury feels they have strength back there in ju-

nior Sophie Fitzpatrick, who returns after starting last year.

“She really attacks the ball and has great vision back there,” says her coach.

Also expected to see ac-tion are junior midfielders Sophie Dubuisson and sopho-more Emily Giumetti, along with sophomore Dorothy Hel-lar and junior Taylor Tobin.

Dragons’ DenSports Editor Mike Halloran • [email protected]


The Bruins are 0-2 versus the Canadians, the heavily fa-vored Red Sox are 4-10 and in last place, the Celtics squeak by the Knicks on a last sec-ond three-pointer by Ray Al-len, and Duxbury gets shutout in lacrosse. What is the sports world coming to?

Taking on the Garden City Trojans on Saturday morning at Harvard Stadium, the Drag-ons were dominated by their New York visitors and suffered a humiliating 10-0 shutout loss to Coach Steve Finnell’s No. 20 nationally ranked team.

You would like to think the Dragons were just un-lucky, but there was no ques-tion in this encounter that the Spartans had it all over the Dragons from early in the first quarter on.

Spectacular goaltending by junior Dan Marino, and a defense that was impenetrable, led by senior captain Stephan

Jahelka and senior J.P. Burn-side made for one of the most frustrating performances of Coach Chris Sweet’s coaching tenure in Duxbury.

“That was an uphill battle for us all day long,” said Sweet. “We just couldn’t get any mo-mentum going. We didn’t roll over. We battled. But that is a good team and right now we’re struggling.”

It looked like things were setting up perfectly for the Dragons as senior captain Bryan Barry got control of the opening face-off and broke in on Marino in the first minute of play, only to be denied in the first of many attempts that had the Dragons shaking their heads.

Not only did Marino thwart them on many occasions, but hitting the post twice in the second quarter told the Drag-ons it wasn’t going to be their day.

The ease with which the Trojans attacked goaltender Henry Buonagurio was never more evident than in the first three minutes when captain Tom Gordon, who looked more like Flash Gordon, went

unmolested outside the crease in front of the Duxbury net-minder and had no one within five feet of him when he gave the visitors a 1-0 lead.

Holding a one-goal lead, the Trojans maintained their deliberate style and worked the perimeter while keep-ing the ball out of Duxbury’s hands.

With three minutes to go in the quarter junior Brian Chish-olm gave his team a 2-0 lead when he took a pass and head-ed for the net from the left side, bouncing a shot that went high over Buonagurio’s shoulder.

Marino continued to frus-trate the Dragons with less than two minutes to go when he blocked a sure Dragon shot with his shoulder, sending the ball quickly up field in transi-tion and having it end up be-hind Buonagurio on Gordon’s second goal of the quarter.

Facing a 3-0 deficit starting the second quarter, the Dragons had a man-up situation with a chance to get back in the game. But as luck would have it they hit the crossbar twice, only re-inforcing their belief that today was not their day.

A Marino save triggered another Trojan transition, and the speedy New Yorkers wast-ed little time in taking advan-tage, as Burnside went uncov-ered again, finding himself in the slot with Buonagurio at his mercy.

It looked like pile-on time

after Garden City grabbed a 4-0 lead, and it started to hap-pen with 3:40 left in the half when Patric Berkery wiggled his way through two Duxbury defenders and beat the shell-shocked Buonagurio as he was falling to the ground.

Trailing 5-0 at halftime, Sweet acknowledged that their defense was impossible to pen-etrate.

“Their defense came in highly touted and you can see why,” he said. “They play great individual defense and great team defense. We just couldn’t get close to the cage.”

It took less than a min-ute for Garden City to get on the board in the third quarter, as Buonagurio got beat for the first of three third period goals.

The Dragons tried desper-ately to avoid the first shutout in recent memory, but Marino and his defense made it impos-sible, shutting down the Dux-bury offense and sending the ball back up field in transition for two more fourth quarter scores that ended a miserable morning for Sweet and his team.

“We’ll learn from this. Our goal is to win a state champi-onship,” said Sweet. “We play these teams to find out what our strengths and weaknesses are. We certainly got a dose of what we need to work on to-day.”

Let’s not get too excited yet, but the DHS boys’ tennis team could be on track to be serious contenders for DHS’s third state title of the 2010-11 school year.

In their season opener last Monday in Duxbury, the Dragons were never chal-lenged in their warm-up win over Silver Lake, as Brendan Minahan cruised to a 6-1/6-0 win at No. 1 singles. Pete Muncey was just as good at No. 2 in a 6-1/6-0 win, while Connor O’Keefe put up the double bagel with a 6-0/6-0 win.

The doubles team of Kevin Coakley and Eric Sch-neider was too much for the Lakers, as the Dragons were not on the court long in a 6-1/6-0 route. The No. 2 dou-bles team of Will Triebel and Willy Kingsbury had little trouble with their opponents in an overpowering 6-1/6-1

display.Things should have been

tougher for the Dragons when they took on Cohas-set last Thursday, but all but one match was dominated by Duxbury in the 5-0 shutout.

Minahan out-classed his opponent in every way with a 6-0/6-0 win, while O’Keefe also experienced a short day of easy put-away volleys in his 6-1/6-0 victory.

Muncey was also an easy winner at No. 2 singles, as he lost just two games in a 6-1/6-1 win.

The power of Triebel and Kingsbury at No. 2 doubles was on display in the second

set, as they took a relatively easy 6-4/6-0 win over fresh-man Ted Tedeschi and sopho-more Eric Ackley.

First doubles was a strug-gle for the Dragons, as the quickness of senior William Choi and freshman Dave Fitzgerald gave Coakley and Schneider everything they could handle in a 4-6/7-6 (3)/7-6 (3) marathon Duxbury win

“So far so good,” said Coach John Bunar.

The boys will entertain Hanover on Monday after-noon at 3:30 p.m.

While winning the state hockey championship was a team effort for senior Briana Connolly, her win over Nau-set’s Rachel Bernstein was an individual effort in last Tues-day’s 5.5-.5 win over the War-riors. Connolly’s round of 42 that included three pars and a birdie pinned her opponent with her first league defeat in two years.

Playing partner Cassidy

Goldner was also impressed with her teammates efforts, as she was motivated to earn a 2-up win over Carly Brooks with the aid of three pars.

Kara Falcone earned Dux-bury’s half point when she

tied Haley Sanders, while Francis Anne McDonald took her match 5 and 3 over Kayle Crosby.

Allie Martin in the No. 4 spot defeated Michaela Mc-Quin, 3 and 2, with a pair of pars, and senior partner Lorin Gerraughty won her match 2-up over Kate Anblis.

It was a battle of undefeat-ed teams on Thursday when the Lady Dragons traveled to the Falmouth Country Club to take on the Clippers.

While matches rarely get to the alternates, this match-up showed Duxbury’s depth, as senior Devon Tsinzo broke a 3-3 tie and won the match for Duxbury with a 3-up win at No. 7.

It was a nail-biter for Coach Jack Stoddard, as Con-nolly pared the last hole of her round to tie Falmouth’s Kate Robinson. It was just the op-posite in the No. 2 match, as Goldner lost on her last hole and the Lady Dragons trailed

1.5-.5.Falcone tied her round at

No. 3 and the Clippers stayed in front 2-1, but McDonald came through at No. 4 with a 5 and 3 win, and Martin won her match at No. 5 with a 2-up vic-tory to take the lead at 3-2.

Gerraughty barely lost her match at No. 6 when she dropped a 1-down decision that tied the match at 3-3, leav-ing it up to Tsinzo to come up with the victory.

It was a typical early spring game for the DHS girls’ tennis team, as winds were out of control and so were half the shots in the Lady Dragons’ 4-1 win over the Lakers in Kings-ton.

Senior captain Michaela Dowd had an easy first set at No. 1 singles, blanking Taylor Grifa, 6-0, and then needed to dig down deep to win the sec-

ond set, 6-4. Fellow captain Casey Re-

inhart battled Silver Lake’s Carolyn Milne at No. 2 and came away with a 6-3/6-2 vic-tory, while freshman Kelly Dame took care of Hayley Per-on at No. 3 singles, 6-3/6-1.

Junior Lilly Weil and freshman Brook McCarthy

put up a valiant effort at No. 1 doubles before falling to Ali-son Boerger and Sam Crespi, 5-7/5-7, while junior Caro-line Phinney and sophomore Meghan O’Neil beat Allie Creighton and Jeili Merrill, 6-3/6-1.

The girls return to action on Monday afternoon when they travel to Hanover to take on the Indians at 4 p.m. in Pa-triot League play.

Coach commends track team’s performance

Coach Harry Taylor commended all his freshman and soph-omore track team members who attended Saturday’s meet. It was a long, cold, and windy day that was less than ideal for a track meet.

“I think most of us got windburn instead of sunburn like last year,” said Taylor. “We did however have some personal bests and some performances that placed in the top six.”

All running results are done with electronic timing systems.Sophomore Jon Hurvitz qualified fourth for the 100-meter

finals with 12.07 and placed third in the finals with an 11.80, while sophomore Mark Trudeau placed fourth in the shot put with a personal best 38’ 6.25.”

With a new head coach and a roster without much varsity experience, the Dux-bury Dragons baseball team could have an uphill battle this season. After suffering a 1-0 loss to Plymouth North in the season-opener, the Dragons rebounded with an exciting 6-5 walk-off victory in extra in-nings versus Silver Lake.

Junior pitcher Clint Bylo threw eight solid innings in Duxbury’s first win. Howev-er, Bylo struggled in the first inning, giving up a two-run homer to the visitors. The Lak-ers tacked on a third run in the top of the fourth as a result of a Bylo balk.

The comfortable three-run lead didn’t last for long, as senior captain Pat Sweeney started off the bottom of the fourth with a single to left field, followed by junior Bren-dan Connolly’s double. With runners on second and third, senior Jake Carleton doubled down the right field line to drive in two runs and cut the Lakers lead to one. Sweeney also scored in the bottom of the sixth as a result of a Dave Cosborn balk, tying the game at 3-3.

After scoreless fifth, sixth, and seventh innings for both teams, the game went into ex-tra innings. With Bylo still on the mound, Silver Lake tried to take advantage of the worn out starter.

After a double and a walk put two men on base, Jake Wong made a valiant effort in

center field diving for a ball hit into the gap. The ball glanced off his glove and both runners scored to give the Lakers a 5-3 lead.

The Dragons opened the bottom of the eighth when Connolly walked and went to second on a single by Carle-ton. Steve Showstead and Sam Jacobson both reached on er-rors to drive home the tying runs.

Sophomore James Mar-cello proceeded to single to right to drive home the win-ning run.

Sabermetrics, Scouting, and the Science of Baseball will be the topic of a seminar being held on May 21 and 22 at Harvard University to benefit the Jimmy Fund. This is a unique event with some top notch speakers including former Duxbury resident and current Assistant Director of Pro Scouting for the Boston Red Sox, Jared Porter, team stat guru, Tom Tippett, and best-selling author Jonah Keri.

Porter has worked for the Red Sox in baseball opera-tions since 2004 when he was a Player Development Intern in Ft. Myers, Fla. He gradu-ated from Thayer Academy in 1999 and Bowdoin Col-lege in 2003 where he was

the captain of the baseball and hockey teams his senior year.

Porter will take questions about professional scouting, what statistics are helpful from a scout’s perspective, what the future of baseball player evaluation will bring, and anything else relevant. In addition, he will welcome any and all questions. Please be aware that Porter is not at liberty to divulge proprietary information.

All the participants are donating their time, and Har-vard is donating the facili-ties for the event. The Web site with all the details of the seminar and participants can be seen at saberseminar.com.
