School super choices down to threeBy Justin GraeBer, Clipper editor

James Hayden wants to be the next superintendent of schools in Duxbury, and he had high

praise for the district after spending the day with students and staff last Thurs-day.

“One of the reasons I’m so excited about coming to work in Duxbury is that you have folks that are thought-ful,” he told the School Committee during a public interview Thursday night. “Your chil-dren emulate that. You research issues, you look at all

The second candidate for Duxbury superinten-dent of schools is a ris-

ing star in the education world, a former superintendent of the year who pioneered a one student-one laptop program in his district.

Dr. Benedict Tantillo has been superintendent of schools for the Pascack Valley Regional High School District in Montvale, New Jersey for ten years, earning super-intendent of the year honors for that state in 2006.


After spending the day with staff and stu-dents from the Dux-

bury Public Schools, Dr. Middle-ton McGoodwin said his desire to be Duxbury’s superintendent of schools only increased.

“The Duxbury Public Schools ... clearly demonstrate a district that is student centered,” he told the School Committee during his public interview last Tuesday night. “The developmentally appro-

New cars are once again on the lot and the owners of Millbrook Motors, the last car dealership in Duxbury, say they’re back in business for good.

Chip Loring said he stopped selling new cars in November, although the service part of the business remained open, and Millbrook went through a period of uncertainty where he and his sister Lee were explor-ing all options.

However, the business will remain in Duxbury, and new cars have been arriving for the last two months.

The reverberations from

the financial crisis that hit many of America’s car com-panies were felt in Duxbury, as Millbrook had to deal with the credit crunch and the fold-

It appears the town’s legal tussle with Johnson Golf Man-agement over the North Hill Golf Course isn’t over yet.

The Weston-based compa-ny has been in litigation with Duxbury ever since it claims it was unfairly denied the contract to manage the nine-hole golf course in early 2009. However, things have been fairly calm since a Middlesex County Su-perior Court judge granted an injunction allowing Johnson to run the course under the terms of its old contract until the situ-ation is resolved.

On Monday, Town Coun-sel Robert Troy came before the Board of Selectmen and recommended they hold a pub-lic hearing to determine if that contract had been violated.

“We believe there are a number of issues,” Troy said. He said he has been monitoring certain aspects of the contract and the running of the course, along with Recreation Direc-tor Gordon Cushing. Troy also met with the board for several minutes in executive session

before the start of the public meeting.

Troy pointed out that any potential violations would not be the result of any new con-ditions imposed by the town –– the injunction clearly states that the management of the course would have to continue under the previous contract.

He asked the board if they wanted to hold a hearing and invite Doug Johnson and coun-sel to get to the bottom of the issues.

“It was always in the best interest of the town to continue the management of the course under the current contract,” said Betsy Sullivan. “If that contract’s starting to break down, we need to have that conversation.”

The board voted 3-0 to hold the hearing, although the date was not immediately set.

Also at the meeting, the board heard from Craig Hall of the Coast Guard about the up-coming National Safe Boating Week, which will take place from May 22-28.

The board read into the record a proclamation stating

that 700 people die every year in boating-related accidents, 70 percent of which are by drown-ing.

“We’re seeing a higher percentage of those folks who aren’t wearing life jackets,” Hall said, noting that he sees a particular problem with small-er boats like canoes or kayaks.

The theme of the Coast Guard’s safety week is “Wear it South Shore.”

Harbormaster Don Beers said that his department will routinely put out 30 “loaner” jackets for boaters to use in Duxbury Harbor.

“Boating safety is a huge priority in our department,” Beers said.

Beers also informed the board that his department re-cently applied for $433,000 worth of Homeland Security grants that, if accepted, will include a new patrol boat, and a regional camera system between Plymouth, Duxbury and Kingston on landings as a security measure. They also applied for thermal cameras. Beers learned last week that $183,000 for the boat had been approved.

“This comes at a fairly good time, one of our patrol boats is aging,” he said.

He said he will hear from Homeland Security shortly on the rest of the grant.

Town will hold hearing on North Hill Management

IN OTHER BUSINESS, SELECTMEN:

• Granted a common victualler license for “Yo Taco,” a take-out mexican restaurant located in the former Back River Fish Market building.

• Ratified the collective bargaining agreement with SEIU Local 888, the library workers. The new contract will run from July 1, 2009 to June 30, 2012 and contains a wage increase of 1 percent in the first year, 2 percent in the second and 2 1/2 percent in the third. It also contains some language about CORI checks, bereavement leave and family sick leave that the town is trying to make standard in all new contracts.

• Met with Judi Barrett, who is volunteering her services as a con-sultant, to discuss long-range goals and strategic planning.

• Discussed forming a working group to talk about sharing services between the schools and town in areas like payroll and building maintenance.

• Granted five one-day liquor licenses, one for the Opening of the Bay on May 28, two for the Rural and Historical Society and two for upcoming Council on Aging events.

• Heard from Town Manager Richard MacDonald that the town has been awarded a certificate for excellence in financial report-ing. Duxbury has received this honor for several years in a row, MacDonald said.

• Approved the appointment of Paula Harris to fill a spot on the Economic Development Committee.

After a grueling public hearing process, the Zoning Board of Appeals thought it had reached a conclusion on the affordable housing project known as Island Creek North.

The Board of Appeals ne-gotiated, drafted and issued a comprehensive permit with the assistance and approval of the applicant, Keith Properties, as well as the town’s engineer, Tom Houston.

However, the applicant has appealed the decision and has filed with the state’s Housing Appeals Committee.

The board reopened the public hearing on the matter because several issues still re-main.

Chairman of the Board of Appeals Dennis Murphy said he had attended a conference meeting with the Housing Ap-peals Committee along with town counsel.

During the conference, Murphy said the objective was to see if the developer and town were willing to enter into settlement discussions in “a very tight time table.”

The Board of Appeals is expected to give a status report to the Housing Appeals Com-mittee by May 25.

Murphy said the appeal from the applicant came as a surprise, and it related to ap-proximately one-third of the conditions the board set.

Murphy said the Housing

Appeals Committee’s job is to determine whether or not the board’s decision essentially constituted a denial. He reiter-ated that it was the Board of Appeals intention to grant the permit with conditions.

“I, as participant in the pro-cess, was surprised an appeal was taken; my understanding was the board and applicant were in agreement,” Houston said.

Houston added that there were certain details that were agreed upon to be flushed out after the approval.

“What we laid out were some design points and sug-gestions we felt as a board would be helpful not only for the applicant but also the resi-dents,” Murphy said.

The board set the condi-tions, he said, because the ap-plicant said it would be too expensive to do another set of plans. The applicant opted to have the engineer work out a few conditions on how the fi-nal set of plans would be re-vised to reflect the common understanding.

“If we had the set of plans encompassing all the informa-tion, then the decision would have been shorter and includ-ed the set of drawings,” Mur-phy said.

If the Housing Appeals Committee finds the project was essentially denied, then the board and applicant may have to start from the begin-

ning, according to member Gene Orosz.

“There may well be no need for any further discus-sion in a public hearing from this board. Based on what I’ve heard, there is still a role to play even if HAC does its job … it will not be finalizing plans or signing plans, which are traditionally a zoning or Board of Appeals function,” Murphy said.

He said he believes the issue of what the final plans should look like seems like a local concern.

“What we should focus on is trying to move toward reso-lution,” Murphy said.

The hearing will be con-tinued to June 25 at 8 p.m.

Over 25 Duxbury residents came out to the Board of Ap-peals meeting on Thursday in support of a new take-out taco restaurant.

The board voted 5-0 in favor of granting Yo Taco, lo-cated on 30 Railroad Avenue, a special permit to change the former Back River Fish Mar-ket into a take-out food estab-lishment.

The permit for Yo Taco was approved with the fol-lowing conditions set by the board: The restaurant must be both an eat-in and take-out establishment, the septic must pass the Title V inspection, and the hours of operation are between the hours of 7 a.m. and 10 p.m.

Board of Appeals Chair-man Dennis Murphy said there were no objections from the design review board for the proposed project.

The Board of Health ex-pressed concerns that the es-tablishment must pass the Title V septic regulations. The Conservation Commission had no issues with the proposed restaurant unless the owners planned on expanding or pav-ing the lot for parking.

The owner of the building said that the septic is designed for a 60-seat restaurant.

There will be no structural changes to the existing build-ing and there will only be a slight change to the corporate name.

Yo Taco owners Kelly Clif-ford Laviolette, Norm Lavio-lette and Tim Haws said they have had quite a bit of support from residents who feel they could use a healthy and afford-able place to eat.

Norm Laviolette said the restaurant will be an asset for townspeople who are looking for something to eat after a soccer game or a school play.

Farfar’s Danish Ice Cream Shop owner Stephen Carlton, a neighbor to Yo Taco, said he has recently had a chance to look at the site plans and he saw a number of improve-ments. He was particularly pleased with the new parking plan. There will be no more parking in front of the build-ing, alleviating the problem of cars backing into the street.

Carlton asked the board if they would specify that there must be onsite food service as part of the approval and they agreed to do so.

The plans show that there will be three tables (12 seats inside the restaurant). How-ever, the owners said there is a waiting area, where they will try to add more seating.

“I think there would be less impact on the adjacent neigh-bors businesses if their busi-ness could be as self-contained as possible,” Carlton said, after expressing concerns that trash might become an issue.

“We anticipate more grab-bing your food and going to the ball game,” Laviolette said.

The owners told the board they would like to be open for lunch and dinner service and hoped to close at 10 p.m. They eventually would like to oper-ate the business seven days a week.

Board of Appeals member Gene Orosz said that he was in favor of the project but was a bit concerned that the food es-tablishment might be a magnet for teenagers, because there aren’t many other place in town open until 10 p.m.

Orosz asked that the own-ers talk with the police chief, and be proactive instead of re-active to possible issues.

Resident Bob Austin said that he has been to several board meetings over the last few weeks and felt there was animosity toward people who were trying to do something in a business point of view.

“This town needs busi-ness,” he said.

ing of Chrysler’s (the compa-ny also makes Jeep) financial arm.

“We got lucky, our fran-chise never got terminated,” said Chip.

However, the company did file for bankruptcy along with some of the other major car companies.

Because of the troubles with the parent company, Mill-brook had trouble getting new inventory.

“They weren’t building anything,” said Chip.

After examining all the options, about 2-3 months ago the Lorings started to reopen.

“We formulated a different business plan,” said Lee.

Most visitors to the busi-ness won’t notice much differ-ence. There has been a slight change in hours, however, as the dealership won’t be open on Sunday.

Both Chip and his sister said the community support was strong while the future of the business was in doubt.

“It was nice to see, that people were concerned,” said Lee.

“As cars were coming in people were stopping by and saying, ‘hey, you’re back,’” added Chip.

The business has been in

town for over half a century (Loring’s grandfather got the Jeep dealership in 1953) and has survived despite a less than ideal location for a car dealership.

“Most manufacturers don’t like to be off the beaten path,” said Lee.

Over the years, Jeeps have become synonymous with Duxbury and are jokingly re-ferred to as “Duxbury Cadil-lacs.” Although Duxbury is a wealthy community, the 4x4 power and relative compact-ness of a Jeep can be prefer-able to a larger, more unwieldy SuV or a less off-road-capable luxury car because of its ability

to access the beach. The trend has inspired a loyal customer base for the Lorings.

“There might be three generations who have bought from us,” said Lee. “That’s truly loyalty.”

Little by little, the dealer-ship is returning to its former self.

“We’re getting there,” said Chip. “It’s going to take time to get back into it.”

Now that they’re back, the siblings hope the business is back for good.

“We’d like to think we’re here for the long haul,” said Lee.

Siblings Lee and Chip Loring have been working at Millbrook Motors since they’ve had their drivers licenses. After a period of uncertainty for Duxbury’s last auto dealership, the business is selling new cars again.

Anne Jouett Bob-seine, longtime resident of Duxbury, died on May 14 at the age of 88.

She was born in Newton, graduated from Emma Willard School and then attended Smith College. She showed early talent and passion for music and theatre.

At the age of 12, she played in a piano concert with Leonard Bernstein. She acted and direct-ed at Smith and in summer stock throughout the East. She set her sights on Broadway and a career in the theatre, but with the breakout of World War II she left Smith and enlisted in the U.S. Navy. In the Navy, she first worked as a meteorologist and later in Naval Intelligence on the effort to break the Japanese code.

During the war she met a Navy pilot, urban L. Bobseine, and they were married in 1945. upon their discharge from the Navy, they hitch-

hiked from San Diego to the Pacific Northwest and then back to Boston. They both attended and graduated from Syracuse university.

Ms. Bobseine set aside a career in the theatre in order to raise a family. She taught piano for many years and played the organ at the Christian Science Church in Duxbury. She wrote numerous short stories. She read for the blind for 25 years and was active in Alumni Af-fairs at Emma Willard School.

She leaves her husband of 65 years, urban; her daughters Ellen of Vero Beach, Fla; Kathie of Plymouth, and Terry of Gilford, N.H.; her son Mark of Duxbury, eight grandchildren; and her sister, Jean Jouett Hill of Newcastle, Eng-land.

May is crunch time for the Duxbury Interfaith Council.

The council, perhaps best known for the baskets they put together for needy families around the holidays, actually performs outreach in the com-munity year round. But two of their bigger –– and more costly –– projects take place in May as the summer and new school year approach.

The campership program is a longstanding tradition for the council, and the Teach Learn Care, or TLC, program that provides school supplies for children is relatively new. But both reflect the council’s core values of helping others that reach across all faiths and backgrounds.

Council President Harry Katz said the group raises about $60,000 annually for its outreach. The campership and TLC projects alone cost $25,000.

“This is almost half our budget,” he said.

The campership program was actually inherited by the council and has been around since the 1980s. The council has administered it since 2003. The program allows children to attend various summer camps in the area. Last year, the council helped 42 kids. Ten went to the Duxbury Recre-ation Department camp, 12 to

Camp Wing, and the rest were scattered around the South Shore.

“Parents find what works for their kids,” said Kay Drake, who runs the program.

Drake pointed out that the council doesn’t pay the entire bill for summer camps, just up to $500 per camper. Katz pointed out that many of the grant recipients are single par-ents.

“It’s a breath of fresh air for the parents,” he said.

The TLC program started in earnest last year, and sprung from a seed planted by Jared DiVasta, who decided that, at his 10th birthday party, he’d eschew presents –– instead asking his guests to bring a do-nation of school supplies.

Last year, the TLC pro-gram donated backpacks full of supplies to 55 kids, and this year they are hoping to help 100 families.

“It’s important because we’re trying to help children,” said Sherry Murphy.

Over the summer, vari-ous locations in Duxbury will

host a school supply drive. The backpacks will be assembled and delivered in August. Sup-plies needed range from pa-per and pencils to binders and even graphing calculators for high school students.

Murphy said this program is special because of the in-volvement of young children.

“It empowers them to know they have made a differ-ence in the world,” she said.

Katz said that despite the poor economy in the last cou-ple of years, donations to the council have increased.

“People are realizing there’s a greater need,” he said.

“We have many thoughtful and generous people in Dux-bury,” added Murphy.

Katz pointed out that the people helped by the council are deeply appreciative of the help. Many only need assis-tance temporarily until they can get back on their feet. And some former recipients come back to volunteer their time putting together the holiday baskets.

“Duxbury is our home,” wrote one woman whose fam-ily was helped by the council. “The generosity and kind-heartedness of the people in town always amazes me and it is something for which I am very grateful and will never take for granted.”

For the last several years, Duxbury has been named a “Tree City uSA” for the town’s work preserving and maintain-ing its trees. Last Wednesday, Peter Buttkus was honored as the Tree Warden of the Year.

Buttkus was lauded at a ceremony, attended by fellow tree wardens and town offi-cials, on the town green on a windy Wednesday afternoon. An American Beech tree was planted in his honor.

“The crew that is here to-day is another tribute to Peter,” said President of Mass. Tree

Wardens Kevin Weber, who is himself the tree warden in Sharon. “A lot of tree wardens give of their own time. They’re dedicated to their craft.”

Weber pointed out that Buttkus has recently risen in the ranks to become director of public works in Duxbury.

“Peter is the tree warden’s future,” he said. “It’s some-thing for other tree wardens to aspire to.”

Town Manager Richard MacDonald talked about the natural beauty of Duxbury.

“That is not by accident, it is through the hard work of the DPW staff led by Peter Butt-

kus,” he said. “He’s doing a great job for us. Thank you for a job well-done, you deserve this honor.”

Buttkus was humbled by the honor.

“I’m fortunate to be in an exceptional community with exceptional staff,” he said.

Summer Fun themes and datesThe Duxbury Art Association announces new themes for its

highly successful Summer Fun program. Summer Fun is the vi-sual arts program where children can stretch their imaginations, learn new skills and make new friends. This visual arts program incorporates art, crafts and creative activities including songs, games, stories and play.

This year’s themes and dates:July 5–9: Stars & Stripes* July 12–16: under the SeaJuly 19–23: Artsy AstronautsJuly 26–30: Animal ExpeditionAug. 2–6: Mexican MadnessAug. 9-13: Knights & PrincessesAug. 16-20: Surfin’ SafariAug. 23–27: Wild Wild WestEach week students explore the theme by creating two-di-

mensional and three-dimensional art projects using an assort-ment of materials in the studio with the supervision and support of an art teacher and a teaching assistant. Students learn about the animals, environment, history and culture relevant for each theme. The program focuses on the creative process and learn-ing experience.

Summer Fun runs Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.

The highlight of each week is the art show at noon on Fri-day when parents, relatives and friends are invited to view the art created by the students during week.

The program offers specific activities and projects best suit-ed for two age groups: 4-5 year olds or 6-9 year olds. An art instructor and teaching assistant work with a maximum of 12 students per session. Students are asked to dress for mess, bring a snack and a beach towel.

COA golf tournament

The Friends of the Dux-bury Council on Aging are holding their 10th annual charity golf tournament at the Duxbury Yacht Club on June 7. The Friends are looking for more golfers and sponsors to join and play in the fundraiser to support the Senior Center. This tournament has raised $150,000 in the past nine years and all the money has been used to support the needs of Duxbury seniors, as well as providing equipment, furni-ture and supplies to enhance the programs and activities.

The day will begin at 11:30 a.m. with registration and lunch. There will be a shotgun start at 1 p.m., and the tourna-ment will be played in scram-ble format. Play is limited to 120 players so register early.

The cost to play is $150 per person and includes the greens fee, cart, lunch and reception. Tickets to the reception only are $25.

Sponsorships are still available, but they will close on May 28. A corporate spon-sorship is $3,000, or your company could sponsor the re-ception for $1,500 or lunch for $1,000. A tee/hole sponsorship is $150.

Call Jack Hamilton at 781-934-6003 to sign up as a golfer or sponsor.


priate structure that goes on in this district ... tells me the Duxbury Public Schools has made a commitment to the children of this community.”

Throughout the interview, McGoodwin stressed his focus on the child first.

“The success of the dis-trict is represented by the suc-cess of our students,” he said in response to a question about how he defined and measured success.

McGoodwin has been the superintendent of schools in neighboring Marshfield since 2005. Before that, he was the assistant superintendent, and had been a middle school prin-cipal as well as an earth sci-ence and math teacher.

He told the committee that his leadership style was that of a collaborator.

“My style has been to earn the respect and trust of the faculty,” he said. “I’ve asked faculty, don’t measure me by what I say, but what I do.”

Yet, he said he isn’t afraid to make tough decisions when he has to.

“As an instructional lead-er.... the final decision needs to be that of the leader,” he said.

He said he favors a pro-active approach when he’s en-countered problems with staff, sitting down with people face-to-face and whenever pos-sible, tapping resources inside the district.

“Education has come a long way from ‘close the door, it’s your classroom, its your business,’” he said. “For edu-cation to be effective the doors have to be open.”

McGoodwin said his col-laborative, open-door ap-proach would extend to work-ing with parents.

“By being transparent with the process, those that may not agree will at least understand why the decision has been made,” he said. “A successful school district, to sustain it-self, has to be connected to and trusted by the community.”

When the discussion got down to the nitty-gritty of ed-

ucational goals, McGoodwin talked about cross-grade co-operation, and having teachers work together rather than hav-ing individual goals for indi-vidual grade levels.

“All faculty are interested in their present as well as for-mer students,” he said. “One of the key aspects of a pro-gressive and effective school district is when we are think-ing not about the current stu-dents and their success on educational initiatives, but if we are preparing them for the future.”

McGoodwin pointed out that long-rage educational goals can take time.

“School improvement can be messy, it takes time to do it well,” he said.

He stressed the impor-tance of communicating with the community at large, point-ing out that in Marshfield he’s used the Internet and a cable access show to keep parents and taxpayers informed.

“It’s important that even people who don’t have chil-dren see what’s going on inside the walls of their community’s schools,” he said.

When asked to name something he’s achieved while working in Marshfield, Mc-Goodwin pointed to a “safe schools initiative” and work he’s done with the Massachu-setts Aggression Reduction Center at Bridgewater State in reducing bullying in the wake of a narrowly-averted Colum-

bine-style attack at Marshfield High School.

“We’re talking about the civil rights of a child,” he said. “The days of boys will be boys and girls will be boys is over.”

At the conclusion of the interview, he praised the work Duxbury has done so far and reiterated his desire to be the committee’s top pick.

“I have a passion for the profession of education,” he said.

Girl Scout newsRegistration for next year: A registration evening for girls

who will be entering kindergarten in September will be held to-night, Wednesday, May 19 from 6:30-8 p.m. at the Girl Scout House on Washington Street. Noreen Roy will be on hand to answer questions you might have regarding girl scouting. This evening event is only for these girls. Other girls who are not cur-rently enrolled in the Girl Scout program here in Duxbury are in-vited to register on Saturday, June 5, from 9:30-11:30 a.m. Girl Scouting is open to all girls in kindergarten through grade 12.

Troop registration packets: If you did not attend the lead-ers’ meeting last week, you need to contact Joan to arrange to pick up your registration packets or drop in on May 19 during the kindergarten registration event to pick them up (along with cookie prizes and dance photos for your troop). Completed packets need to be returned to Noreen on June 2, from 7-9 p.m. at the Girl Scout House. Leaders and other registered adults will be able to complete the CORI forms that night as well. You will need to bring your Mass. driver’s license and a copy of the li-cense.

Beach cookout: A reminder to leaders; we need you to let Joan know if your troop will be participating in the beach cook-out this Saturday. A flyer was e-mailed to all troops with infor-mation on what your troop will need to bring that day. Please let Joan know if you did not receive it. Be sure to dress warmly –– it gets cool when the sun sets. Beach Cookout patches will be available for $1 each. Please plan to pay by check or with exact change.

Memorial Day weekend events: All of our Girl Scouts are invited to come to the Mayflower Cemetery on Saturday, May 29, to place flowers and flags on the Veterans’ grave sites. On Monday, May 31 we will meet at the Myles Standish Cemetery at 9:30 a.m. to participate in the Memorial Day parade. After a brief ceremony at the cemetery, we will march to the First Par-ish Church, where girls should be met by their parents. Girls are encouraged to wear their uniforms or Duxbury Girl Scout shirts for this event.

Bridging: Our annual bridging ceremony will take place at the Duxbury Middle School auditorium on Sunday, June 6 from 7-8 p.m. This event celebrates the advancement of the girls from one level of Girl Scouting to the next. All of our scouts are en-couraged to attend this important event in the life of our scouts. Refreshments will follow the ceremony.

You’ve just lost someone close to you, and it’s a difficult, stressful time. You’re grieving, yet there’s so much to do: funeral arrangements to make, family to care for. And as painful as it may seem, there is also urgent business concerning your finances. Here’s a checklist, by no means complete, to help you get started:

are covered by credit life insurance that pays off the balance in the event of a customer’s death.

Security for Your FutureIf you’ve been left a significant inheritance, you face further deci-

the money to pay debts, or buy something they might not other-wise be able to afford.

Keep in mind, though, that your loved one probably intended to provide security for your future as well. After your loss, other fam-ily members may be even more dependent on you. You may decide to use your inheritance to provide security for them, just as it was provided for you.

Life insurance can play an important role. A single premium policy can guarantee* your heirs a financial legacy that’s generally free from federal income tax. Life insurance can also offer living ben-efits, like the option of borrowing against a policy’s value.**

Life can change swiftly and unpredictably, so it’s always wise to have your affairs in order. The best time to make arrangements for to-morrow is today.

The last details are being finished to ready the newly in-

stalled World War I monument for its rededication. Every year Duxbury celebrates the Me-morial Day weekend with its own special parade. This year it will be slightly different and a special occasion for all resi-dents. We will be re-dedicating the World War I Memorial.

On Monday, May 31, the traditional parade will make a slight detour to stop at the restored monument in front of Town Hall for brief remarks and laying of wreaths before continuing with its usual route. The monument was originally erected in 1920 at Boomer Square to honor the 84 Dux-bury men and woman who served their country during WWI. Years later it was hit by a vehicle and left in pieces.

We hope Duxbury will make a special effort this year to attend the old fashioned Me-morial Day parade and honor our World War I veterans and their monument.

HONORING THE FALLEN: Workers from Eagle’s Nest Tree and Landscape place the engraved bricks last week, the final piece of the project. The monument will receive its official grand opening when the Memorial Day parade, planned for May 31, stops on its route.

The Community Garden Club of Duxbury, a member of the Garden Club Federation of Massachusetts, is hosting its annual plant sale on Saturday, May 22,

from 9 a.m.-2 p.m. at the First Parish Church at 842 Tremont St. Stop by and enjoy shopping from a collection of herbs, plants, and shrubs, and chat with knowledgeable garden club members.

Proceeds from this plant sale will be used for the club’s town beautification projects.

Garden Club to hold plant sale Music career night May 26

Has your high school student expressed an in-terest in a music career? Don’t know how to guide them? Come to the third an-nual Music Career Night, Wednesday, May 26 at 7 p.m. in the Duxbury High School orchestra room. This event features guest music panelists who represent ca-reers in the music world. Some of the speakers shar-ing their music journey are: Beth MacLeod, South Shore Conservatory artistic direc-tor and director of Opera by the Bay; Sam Pipp, recent Duxbury High School grad and professional bassist; Jeff Largent, assistant professor at Berklee College of Music in the Music Production and Engineering Department; Sam Sinclair, UNH music education major and Skip Healey, wooden flute maker and professional flutist.

The evening offers par-ents and students the oppor-tunity to ask questions and advice, i.e., “How did you become an artistic director of one of the largest com-munity conservatory’s in the United States” or “Why did you decide to make wooden flutes?” Each panelist took a different road to their pres-ent music career. Can their experience help you?

Plant Sale committee members Pattie Campbell, Barbara Kiley and Nancy Stayton hold the poster advertising the Community Garden Club of Duxbury’s annual Plant Sale.


May is Campership Month at Wiemeyer Dentistry. Every May, the Duxbury Interfaith Council raises money for their Campership program. This year their goal is to raise $20,000. The money will send approximately 35 Duxbury kids to camp, at a cost of approximately $500 per child. For many of the children, this camp experience is the highlight of their summer, and something they wouldn’t have been able to do without financial assistance. This May, Wiemeyer Dentistry is helping raise awareness of and money for this program. Each time someone gets his or her teeth cleaned in our office during the month of May, we will donate $15 to the DIC Campership Fund. So if you’re due for a cleaning, come on in and be part of the effort! To learn more about the Duxbury Interfaith Council and their work, visit duxinterfaith.com

He had previously been a high school principal at two other schools in New Jersey.

“My main focus and my true love is students,” he told the School Committee during an interview Wednesday night. “I’ll do almost anything to get their achievement to where it needs to be.”

Tantillo described his lead-ership style as “administering by wandering around,” saying that he believes it’s important to be in the classroom, work-ing with students and staff di-rectly.

“It’s important for every-one to see me,” he said.

He said that building con-nections with the community is paramount to being an ef-fective administrator.

“You have to build a trust with people,” he said. “Trust isn’t built overnight. When I do come to this district, I would do a lot of observation.”

“My leadership style is collaborative. I don’t like to

have people around me that have the same opinion,” he said.

He also noted he likes to involve students in curriculum committees and other activi-ties.

“They know what’s going on in the schools and they tell the truth,” he said.

Tantillo said that he tried to adapt to the particular strengths of each district he was work-ing in, and tried to help where he was most needed –– for example, in one district there was a morale problem, and he played the role of cheerleader.

“It’s like coaching. If I had a great running back, we’d be a running team; if I had a great QB, we’d be a passing team; we use our strength,” he said.

Tantillo said he currently works with a nine-member school committee and is used to communicating with the public.

“I work in a district that’s similar to Duxbury. There are a lot of professional people and many senior citizens as well,” he said. “We really haven’t had any arguing or bickering because we have one focus.”

He said he works well with his current board and sees him-self fitting in with Duxbury.

“I’ll present what I think is the best thing, and you de-cide,” he said. “I always have a rationale and some research

base for why were doing something ... I don’t pull sur-prises on people.”

When asked how he ap-proaches problems with his staff, Tantillo said he tries to maintain a difficult balance.

“It’s very important that the staff doesn’t see me micro-managing the district or un-dermining people’s authority,” he said. However, he pointed out he has overruled teachers and stepped in when he’s felt it necessary.

He also said he tries to make parents having difficul-ties with the school feel like they’re being listened to.

“You can’t leave people hanging and make them feel like they’re not important or their kids aren’t important,” he said. “[I tell parents] I can’t guarantee we’ll have the out-come you want but I will guar-antee I’ll listen and look into it.”

Tantillo said that when he came to his current district, he took what was a “vanilla cur-riculum” and added electives to challenge students.

“Life isn’t just an English class here, a math class there,”

he said.He also pushed several

technology initiatives includ-ing the laptop program.

“Moving to a ubiquitous use of technology is a big change,” he said. “It’s a big change to our students, it’s a bigger change to our staff.”

To get support, he brought a bus load of parents, teach-ers, administrators and town officials to a town in Virginia that had implemented a simi-lar program.

Tantillo said after his visit to Duxbury he was comfort-able with the district, and ready to take on the challenge of being its superintendent.

“I’m familiar with the ex-pectations of the students, the town and the staff,” he said. “I know what makes good education and I’m versed in where education needs to go ... I always consider myself a teacher at heart, and I always will.”

The School Committee will deliberate on the final candi-dates for superintendent of schools at their May 19 meet-ing. See duxburyclipper.com for updates on the search.

Tantillo makes his pitch

The School Committee interviewed Dr. Benedict Tantillo on Wednesday night. Tantillo is the superintendent of schools for the Pascack Valley Regional High School District in Montvale, New Jersey.

sides of the problem,” added Hayden, who also attended the recent Town Meeting. “You have people who want to do the best for the town and for the children.”

During the interview, Hayden touted his sense of hu-mor and his energy.

“I’m the type of person who is enthusiastic about what I do,” he said. “I feel my commitment and my example bleeds over to other people – it’s catchy. It’s like a forest fire. I have high expectations for myself and I have high ex-pectations for the people who work around me.”

Hayden is currently the ex-ecutive director of operations and school administration for the Brockton Public Schools. In that role, he oversees facili-ties issues, transportation and food services, and also works with parents and the media. He

joked that he sometimes calls the position “the director of everything else” because it is so all-encompassing.

Hayden said that while he hasn’t been a superintendent like the other two candidates (although he is certified), he’s had a “variety of experience” that would benefit him in lead-ing the Duxbury schools.

“I think I have a maturity of wisdom and thought, of look-ing at situations and knowing if there’s a crisis you remain calm in the crisis. You help people come to resolutions and come to solutions in a collab-orative way.”

When asked how he would define student success, Hayden said that “academic rigor” is a key word for him.

“We all need to realize that our children are competing in the work world ... with students across the world,” he said. “We need to raise our level of aca-demic rigor.”

He did say that Duxbury has already taken some steps in the right direction.

“There’s a lot of things you have in place, that your leader-ship has done ... you should be very proud of that.”

Hayden said he may not

always see eye to eye with his current superintendent or school committee, but he is al-ways able to move forward.

“Once we reach a group decision ... we all put our shoulders to the wheel and we all pull in the same direction,”

he said. “Whether I agree with it or not I am going to do my darnedest to make sure it’s a success.”

When it comes to medi-ating disputes with parents, Hayden said he believes in the chain of command.

“I don’t think you should go right to the president of the corporation,” he said. “I feel the first line we need to go through is to talk with the teacher that’s in the classroom.

“If you’re still not reaching resolution at that point my door is open,” he added. “We’ve got a wonderful staff here that has the children’s best interest at heart.”

Hayden said he was partic-ularly proud of the work he did in Brockton as principal of the Raymond Elementary School.

“I took a group of 120 staff members and between 800-1,000 students and made that a desired school that people sought out and wanted to en-roll in,” he said. “By being visible, standing out there in the rain, sleet and snow and welcoming buses ... we made that a vibrant school that was sought after and respected by staff who wanted to transfer into that building, and parents

who said this is a great place, I want to get my child here.”

He also pointed out a situ-ation where different depart-ments worked to solve a bud-get crisis and wound up saving the city money by combining certain regular and special ed-ucation transportation.

Hayden said he realized being a superintendent in Dux-bury would be different than working in Brockton, but that he was “adaptable” and would be up to the challenge.

“Children are children, wherever we are,” he said. “Parents love their children and fight to get the best they possibly can. I see that as a commonality between Dux-bury and Brockton. What I see is a difference in scale.”

Hayden touts sense of humorcontinued from page one

James Hayden, the third and final superintendent candidate inter-viewed by the School Committee, is currently the executive director of operations and school administration for the Brockton schools.

darnedest to make sure it’s a success.”

An open letter to the next

superintendent Congratulations on being picked as the next

superintendent of the Duxbury School District. You’ve inherited a great school district with

good administrators, passionate teachers, a community that believes in education and parents who are deeply invested in their children. Duxbury has its challenges, like most school districts in the days of budget cuts and an over-dependence on standardized testing, but for the most part this is a rich district that excels in academics, athletics and after-school endeavors. You’re also inheriting a student body that is devoted to social justice and personal enrichment, kids who think outside the box and give back. All in all, it’s a pretty great place to be if you’re a superintendent.

But you’re also inheriting some unique challenges. The Duxbury School District is in a different place from the North Shore towns it’s always being compared to. Unlike towns with a bigger commercial tax base and other potential revenue streams, Duxbury’s tax burden is placed squarely on the homeowner. Compared to the Westons and Newtons of the world, Duxbury’s per pupil spending is far off the mark. People in this town want filet mignon education on a hamburger budget –– and you’d better be prepared to deliver.

You’ve also got the double-edged sword of a parent base that lives, eats and breathes the schools. Involved parents are always better than apathetic ones –– let’s just state that for the record. But like the Red Sox in May, it leads to a lot of second guessing, and that can get frustrating.

Our advice? Take things slow and always include the parents. You can never have too many public hearings. Many parents in Duxbury who are dissatisfied with the district share a common lament: they feel that school leadership has taken a laboratory approach to education. We had to be at the cutting edge of zero tolerance, kindergarten cut off time, sleep for teenagers and the like. Some parents feel the need to be progressive and the idea of creating feathers in the district’s cap has overtaken more practical questions, like –– is it feasible to implement this? Is the community asking for it? Parents in these parts don’t like to be told they don’t know what’s best for their children. That’s a reality you’ll have to live with.

People clearly want something new. Your predecessor was (in this paper’s opinion, unfairly) doomed from the start by her association with the previous administration. Your best bet would be to bring strong leadership and new ideas, but don’t be so gung-ho about implementing them that you don’t listen to the community. An innovative, yet collaborative approach is what the Duxbury Schools need.

–– J. Graeber

When one mentions planning for the future, thoughts

immediately turn to financial planning (will we have enough money to live on). Unfortunate-ly, little or no thought is given to where will we live or how will our lifestyle change. That is, not until it’s too late and then begins a mad scramble to adapt. Although current options for the elderly are limited, there is help to be found. However, for those in their middle years, it is not too late for you and our town planners to become pre-pared for everyone’s future.

The homes that served you well with growing children be-come burdens for maintenance and you long for less space. While the PTA meetings, sports events and recitals are at an end,

what’s left is 24-hour togeth-erness. Remember, while the wage earner may stop working, the homemaker continues to cook, clean, shop and perform the myriad of other chores. Retirement is a two-way street and your partner wants to retire as well.

For the major part of our lives we have cherished our independence. After all, we’re adults, we’re employed and have family and others that de-pend upon us. However, all too soon we become dependent on others. All too soon our hear-ing and eyesight begin to fade. Driving is no longer fun but a necessity. Our medical needs begin to take control of our lives. Soon, our children be-come our parents. They want to keep us close, but not too close.

Remember, they have their own lives and can’t leave their fami-lies to dash off a thousand miles to render care to an elder.

We may never have enough money, but we will always need a place to live that fits our income, needs and lifestyle. Planning for this isn’t our task alone. There are others who need to prepare the way for all. All of Duxbury’s town boards and committees, most specifi-cally the planning and zoning boards, have the responsibil-ity to anticipate and plan for everyone’s future. We need to insist that they do just that and provide a fitting environment for the future.

Crossroads for Kids would like to say thank you to Com-

cast for supporting our mis-sion to unlock opportunities for Massachusetts at-risk youth that will transform their lives, help-ing them become members of the next generation of diverse young leaders. On April 24, more than 150 volunteers from Crossroads for Kids and Com-cast joined forces to help get Crossroads three summer sites open and ready for the 1,000-plus youth who will participate in Crossroads residential camp programs there this summer - with 60 volunteers in Duxbury at Camp Wing. The event was part of Comcast Cares Day, Comcast’s company-wide day of community service in which tens of thousands of Comcast employees, along with their families, friends, and commu-nity partners worked together to

make a difference in hundreds of local communities across the country. Crossroads for Kids and Comcast share a common goal – an ongoing commitment to Massachusetts and the South Shore community. Our rela-tionship is an excellent exam-ple of how public-private part-nerships can make a difference. Thanks to Comcast’s contin-ued support, we will be able to impact the lives of over 1,000

at-risk youth in 2010, helping them make positive choices in their lives, stay in school, and graduate with a plan for higher education and meaningful em-ployment. Together, we will continue to make a difference in this wonderful community.

By BoB Neal

I’ve been encouraged by several people to tell more about the life

of my daughter, Jamie Neal, to shed light on why she killed herself though she was a high-achieving, high-spirited young woman with a wealth of prom-ise and countless friends. Her story raises troubling issues. But if bringing some of her problems to the surface gives others a better grip on their own problems, then losing a measure of privacy is a small cost.

Jamie was a ball of energy growing up, always intense, with a bias for action and a flair for anything athletic. The plea-sure she took in sports drew teammates and spectators into her orbit through the joy, talent, and desire she displayed. Some-times her physicality upstaged her incisive mind that, likewise, was often stuck in overdrive. But no matter which side of her personality had the lead, the combination was electric.

Yet Jamie had some dark moods, too. As early as nurs-ery school, her teacher took my wife, Debbie, aside and told her that Jamie sometimes fell silent, seeming emotional and sad. In third grade, Jamie’s teacher told Debbie that Jamie became visibly frustrated and upset if her work wasn’t per-fect. The teacher advised Deb-bie to make mistakes in front of Jamie: “If you’re making an omelet, break a few eggs,” she suggested. “Let Jamie know it’s OK.” Once or twice at around the same age, Jamie told Deb-bie that she heard mean voices in her head.

Most of the time, though, Jamie veiled any sadness with a radiant smile, cheerful atti-tude, and ready sense of humor. These were her hallmarks. And her periodic melancholy gave her insight into the pain that other people felt, deepening her compassion for anyone who was suffering.

Jamie’s bubbly nature be-came harder to maintain as she got older. As many kids do, she began experimenting with alcohol when she was in high school. One evening dur-ing the summer between her sophomore and junior years, she was at a party in the area, and she was raped. It was her first sexual encounter. Since she had been drinking, she blamed herself. She told no one at the time; instead, she carried around the guilt and rage for nearly two years before finally telling Debbie.

The last two years in high school would bring no relief. The low moods Jamie suffered as a child were intensified by the rape, so her frame of mind collapsed into chronic depres-sion. Over time, she began us-ing drugs, not to get high but to feel “normal” again. Ironically, no one hated drugs more than she did. Her need to self-medi-cate heightened her feelings of guilt and degradation.

Some people at the school—a few friends, teach-ers, and counselors—noticed the change in Jamie and tried to help her. But her struggles were

largely masked by her contin-ued achievement and cheerful demeanor.

I remember shooting bas-kets with Jamie in our driveway sometime during her junior year. She had started to miss many of her free throws, and I was trying to understand why. Free throws, more than any other shot, demand that players spend a moment or two inside their own head to relax, focus, and launch the ball. When I asked Jamie why she thought she was having difficulty, she said that she just didn’t feel confident. She insisted she didn’t know why. I was com-pletely dumbfounded since her life until then had seemed to be one of unshakable, exuberant self-confidence.

Another blow came in the winter of that year. At the start of the basketball playoffs, Jamie seriously injured her right knee, partially tearing the ACL and damaging the cartilage. Though she continued to play periodi-cally, she would never again reach her potential or measure up to her own high standards. She would have four surgeries and be on and off crutches with some degree of disability for the rest of her life. A primary avenue out of depression was suddenly closed off.

Toward the end of her se-nior year, the high school called to let us know that they thought Jamie was having trouble. The signs hadn’t been clear to us, so we had been largely unaware. We got her help right away, and the details of her suffering be-gan to unfold. For the first time, we started to realize what Jamie had been going through.

In college, Jamie’s experi-ence was a mix: new friends, wonderful teammates, great professors, inclusion on the dean’s list, and in between, haunting depression and medi-cal leave.

What would have been Ja-mie’s freshman year was most-ly spent on leave. Though she had started at college, she end-ed up at home in therapy. She was variously diagnosed with bipolar II disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder (due to the rape), depression being common to both.

Her struggles continued over the next four years. Some-times she shone, excelling in her courses and playing some basketball, but at other times, she sank into the abyss.

Last February, she seemed to be doing well. She was home

on medical leave, but she had started taking courses at Har-vard Extension School to get ready for going back to college. She was getting therapy several times a week, and she was on medication.

But her depression came flooding back. If there were signs of a new crisis, we didn’t see them. She killed herself on March 10.

Jamie’s tragedy points up some critical issues for our community—our children and ourselves. One is rape and the devastation it can cause. An-other is mental illness, includ-ing depression, which can bind a sufferer in a shroud of hope-lessness that no one else can see. Another is drug use. And the other is mental health care.

One loud-and-clear mes-sage is that if you are suffering, whether it is from a sexual as-sault, depression, drug depen-dence, or anything else, you should tell someone you trust. Let someone know so you can get the help you need when you need it. Suicide is not the an-swer.

There are other broader is-sues, which I think should be aired even though I have no particular solutions. Effective programs to educate young men and women about rape—what it is, what it means, and what environments raise the risk—could be beneficial. The emphasis would be on preven-tion, not punishment. A similar educational approach toward behavioral health, encompass-ing drug dependence and men-tal illness, could also play a role in raising community aware-ness and making care more ac-cessible to those of us having problems.

Finally, the gaps in our sys-tem of mental health care really do need greater visibility. One particular example comes to mind. Jamie had been hospi-talized for depression and was working with a psychiatrist on an after-care plan. I got a call from Jamie one evening, saying that she had just met with the doctor to discuss the next steps. She told me that the psychia-trist was using Google to find programs that might be a good fit for her, essentially looking up doctors and facilities in an electronic phone book as Jamie looked on. Jamie was not im-pressed. Nor was I.

This apparent lack of exper-tise, knowledge, and responsi-bility suggests to me that there is no widely accepted system in place for affordable, effective, coherent, comprehensive men-tal health care, from inpatient to outpatient, from hospital based to home based. Does this mean that mental health care is com-pletely inadequate? Of course not. There are many wonderful practitioners out there. But it does mean that much remains to be done to organize a men-tal health care system in which knowledgeable and committed doctors are in charge of serv-ing patients, even in the case of chronic, debilitating diseases like depression.

There is a long way to go and a lot left to talk about.

Birdsongs a sign of spring

By Fahy Bygate, Clipper ColumNists

Not a week after I wrote a column about how we all need to be more considerate and patient and live in harmony with our wild friends, a squirrel

ate every single one of the tulips that I had imported from Holland (well, he left one that was deformed. Who knew that squirrels were so discriminating). One day later, he or one of

his deranged friends carefully nipped all of the stems off of a beautiful papyrus plant a friend had given me. The plant was sitting in the edge of the water

in my little frog pond. The beast that denuded the papyrus meticulously clipped each stem off and laid it carefully in the water beside the plant. It is getting harder and harder to “walk the walk.”

But I really shouldn’t complain. The weather is picture perfect lately with no humidity (how does that happen around here?) and my yard is full of bird song. I wake up to an obsessive-compulsive robin who sings his monotonous song about 17 hours a day. There are Great Crested Flycatchers and tons of Baltimore Orioles trying to out-sing the robin. I heard House Wren, Nashville Warbler and Carolina Wren in the intervals between the louder calls of the blackbirds and flycatchers. Catbirds have now moved into the lilac bushes near the pond and I hear them chuckling and mewing in the early morning. The pair of Eastern Phoebes that tried unsuccessfully to raise a family in a nest over my front drainpipe last spring is back in roughly the same spot but is avoiding the pipe. I see them disappear under the lilac and possibly into the neighbor’s yard.

Phoebes like to nest near people for unknown reasons. They choose the eaves of houses, drainpipes, chimneys, etc., and they are known for returning to the same spot year after year. In fact, an Eastern Phoebe was the very first bird ever banded. John James Audubon tied bits of thin silver thread around the legs of several young phoebes and was delighted to see that they returned to the same area the following year. This clearly was after people learned something about migration and stopped believing that birds buried themselves in the ground over the winter.

You might want to keep an eye out for phoebes in your own yard. Phoebes belong in the Flycatcher family and have that characteristic rounded head, not quite a crest. The Eastern Phoebe is gray above, white underneath with little or no wing barring. Its head is dark and the tail feathers are rounded. Phoebes like water and are often found on a limb hanging over a pond or lake where they sit and wag their tails. The tail pumping is a real giveaway to the species.

Finally, in the spirit of living in harmony with nature, I might add that living with a phoebe in the yard can test the patience of any human with normal hearing. The “song”, if I must call it so, is just this side of maddening. The bird, having never been introduced to modesty, shrieks a raspy “FEEEEBEEE” for several hours a day usually starting at dawn. (Not to be confused with the sweet “feee beee” of the Black-capped Chickadee, as if you could). Before you go for the shotgun remember that as soon as the kids are born all will go quiet.

depression and suicide: an open letter

Most of the time, though, Jamie veiled any sadness

with a radiant smile, cheer-ful attitude, and ready sense of humor. These

were her hallmarks. And her periodic melancholy gave her insight into the

pain that other people felt, deepening her compassion for anyone who was suf-

fering.

Officer Ernest Coose, seen here interviewed by the press in May 1988, received the police department’s highest honor after capturing an escaped convict from the Plymouth County House of Corrections here in Duxbury. Inmate Kevin Galford was awaiting murder charges when he and three other inmates escaped from the weight room of the facility. He was seen first in Duxbury near routes 3 and 14, then on plantation Drive before being appre-hended on Franklin Street. Galford was being held for murder for the drowning death of a man at the Cape Cod Canal.

This fall, a new addi-tion to the science curriculum, Envi-

ronmental Science, will be of-fered at Duxbury High School thanks to the generous funding of a DEF grant by Battelle Me-morial Institute. The charitable contribution made by Battelle to DEF supports a full-year AP environmental science course and a half-year envi-ronmental science elective at Duxbury High School. Cheryl Lewis, the head of the science department, has assembled a thorough and rigorous curricu-lum which has resulted in an outpouring of interest in this offering for the fall. To date, 54 students have registered for these new classes. As a result, Duxbury will have two AP environmental science class-es and one half-year elective course this fall.

Lewis says, “These new courses will fill a gap in the science curriculum at DHS.” She also comments that this new course will “provide en-richment in learning for a number of students.” Four out of five classes per week will be devoted to labs, fieldwork and hands-on activities.

Tracy Stenner, VP and manager for Battelle’s envi-ronmental product line, who also is a Duxbury resident and DEF board member, says this new science curriculum is “ex-actly what Battelle charitable

distributions in education are intended to support.” Tracy adds, “Clearly the develop-ment of new ideas in educa-tion is something supported by the DEF mission as well.”

Education is one of Bat-telle’s founding purposes and the organization is proud of its philanthropic support of education projects from early childhood through college, especially in science, technol-ogy, engineering and math. In addition to financial support, Battelle collaborates with or-ganizations across the country to share expertise and develop education-related initiatives that are replicable and sustain-able.

Gay Shanahan, president of DEF, notes, “This is an ex-cellent example of DEF part-nering with local business to accomplish its mission to pro-vide alternative funding for innovative and enriching pro-grams in the Duxbury Public Schools.”

Shanahan adds, “This ad-dition to the science curricu-lum is a fit with our commu-nity, which places high value on its natural resources. And it is, of course, a fit with Bat-telle’s focus.”

Battelle, an 80-year-old non-profit research and de-velopment organization head-quartered in Columbus, OH, has operated its facility at 397 Washington St. since 1965. For many years, Battelle has sponsored numerous town ac-tivities, such as, Coast Sweep, science fairs, Duxbury Beach Preservation and Marine Ecol-ogy at DBMS. The Duxbury Education Foundation is for-tunate to also have an alliance with Battelle and is greatly appreciative of their support.

By Mike Halloran, SportS editor [email protected]

It was a distant thought when the season started, but the DHS girls’ softball team is one win away from making postseason play.

With a roster sprinkled with eight freshmen and soph-omores, former assistant coach Rod Laniewski thought the learning curve for his team would be a lot longer than it has been.

His young squad is well ahead of schedule, as they combined all the ingredients needed to win softball games and turned them into big wins over Silver Lake (3-0) and Whitman-Hanson (2-0), along with a victory over Scituate (17-1).

Great pitching and defense, along with some timely hitting, now has the Lady Dragons at 9-5 with four games left in the regular season.

Laniewski has been preach-ing that getting runners on base and putting pressure on the op-position’s defense was key to winning the close games. He saw it happen in all the wins.

A pumped-up Lady Drag-ons team traveled to Silver Lake last Monday looking to avenge an earlier 1-0 loss.

Scoreless after four innings

in a classic pitcher’s duel, Dux-bury broke out for two runs in the top of the fifth inning, send-ing eight runners to the plate.

Erin Gallagher walked, Grace Kelso singled, and Christina Curley reached on an error to load the bases. Senior pitcher Laura Walter came to the plate and helped her own cause with a two-run single. DHS would add an insurance run in the seventh on hits by Walter, Caroline McSherry and a RBI single by Laura Dono-van.

Walter was immense on the mound, striking out 11 Laker batters while giving up just two hits.

The team returned home on Wednesday to destroy Scituate, an opponent that was playing very well.

Duxbury got off to a quick start with two runs in the first

inning behind the timely hit-ting of Kelso, Curley and Wal-ter, and they exploded for six more runs in the second inning on seven hits.

The game was out of hand by the end of the third inning, as the Dragons added six more runs while sending 12 batters to the plate.

Walter shut down the op-position once again, as Scituate could only muster an unearned run.

Kelso and Walter had four hits each on the day, while Gal-lagher and Curley had three hits. Madi Duddy also contrib-uted with two hits and three RBI.

Whitman-Hanson was the opposition on Friday, and they too had beaten Duxbury earlier in the season.

The 6-2 loss to the Pan-thers in April was the last time

the girls were below .500, and they made sure this time the hosts paid the price.

Duxbury wasted little time in striking first when Curley singled and was driven in by Walter for a 1-0 lead, adding an insurance run in the sixth when Curley reached on an error and later came home on a Donovan hit.

Walter withstood a bases loaded situation with one out in the fifth, retiring the next two batters easily to hold on for the win.

A circus catch by Kelso in center field and great defense in the infield by Duddy and Gal-lagher were keys to the shutout victory.

After a trip to North Quin-cy on Monday, the team returns home on Wednesday afternoon for a 3:30 p.m. match with Hingham.

Sometimes wounds can be so bitter that even the healing can be bitter. The first

Memorial Day in the United States, according to David Blight at Yale, was observed by recently freed former slaves in Charleston, South Carolina, on May 1, 1865. (I got all my historical information from Wikipedia.) In only ten days leading up to the event these African-Americans had exhumed the Union POWs who had died there

from their mass grave, reinterred them “properly with individual graves,” and built a fence around the work, with an entry arch. They declared it a Union graveyard, and on May 1, up to 10,000

gathered, mostly African-Americans, to honor these dead with sermons, singing, and a picnic.

In 1866, Columbus, Mississippi honored both Union and Confederate soldiers on April 25, but this was the exception in the South in the years following the Civil War, or the War Between the States, as the Confederates called it.

When I was a boy in Falls Church, Virginia, I used to visit the scores of graves at the Falls Church Episcopal

Sculptures by former resident on display

781.934.6682

The wood sculptures of Rob-ert St. Pierre, internationally-known sculptor and former,

Duxbury resident for many years, will be exhibited in “On Their Own” at The Art Complex Museum from May 30 until Aug. 15. He will return to the mu-seum, where he has exhibited before, for the opening of his solo exhibition on July 11, from 1:30-3:30 p.m.

For many years, St. Pierre was a neighbor of the museum, living on St. George Street, where he tilled the saw dust from his studio into his garden soil which was watched over by scare-crows created by his wife Mary. Robert St. Pierre calls his vessels wooden pot-tery.

Today, he works out of his home in Hayesville, North Carolina where he and Mary have lived for the last 15 years. His vessels are now in collec-tions in more than twenty countries around the world. His work has been shown at Tiffany’s, Copley Place, the Smithsonian Museum in Washington D.C. and is in the permanent collec-tions of several U.S. embassies.

Church, one marked “Unknown Confederate Soldier.” It was a somber and beautiful place, a church and grounds that had once been consigned to use as a stable by the occupying Union troops as they tried to catch the marauding John S. Mosby, the “Grey Ghost.” I always thought they caught and hanged him. Instead, he became a Republican. He worked on U.S. Grant’s presidential campaign, and they became friends. Mosby, according to Wikipedia, disapproved of slavery and understood that the war had been the Confederacy’s effort to protect it. Nevertheless, he remained loyal to his country – Virginia – while Virginia later abandoned him. For his friendship with Grant, his boyhood home was burned down, and he received death threats and at least one assassination attempt. He died in 1916.

In recent years, the Falls Church congregation has split from the Protestant Episcopal Church in America, and affiliated with the Convocation of Anglicans in America, a mission of the Church of Nigeria (Anglican Communion), but it’s not about slavery, Union horses in the pews, or internationalism. It’s about gays and women, especially in the ministry. There’s a lawsuit over who gets the ancient building and grounds; right now, CANA has them.

Memorial Day (originally Decoration Day) was once observed on May 30, a day chosen because it did not mark the anniversary of any battle. Here in Duxbury, we typically observe the holiday with a small, heartfelt procession at the town cemetery. Check your Clipper for more details. Now uniformly observed as a national holiday on the last Monday in May, the three-day weekend has lost much of its original luster, though family fun, cookouts, and auto racing have valid joys of their own.

Mosby’s war was fought long before the Confederates fired on Fort Sumter, and continues through today. Healing the wounds of slavery and racial hatred remains a crucial endeavor in America, as it is in my own spirit. Only now have I learned that it was Charleston African-Americans who first observed Decoration Day, a fitting honor to their fallen liberators.

Only now have I learned that the Grey Ghost was not hung – though he may have hung others who spied for the North. With his military daring and the dashing feather in his hat, he was always a favorite of mine. Now I see him in a richer light – as a man who faced danger to heal the wounds of war, as he once had delivered them. I have no illusions (nor information) about his views on race, but I now know that he could fight on a losing side, and extend a hand of reconciliation afterwards, even when it meant facing rejection by his one-time friends, who cultivated their bitterness, preferring to stand offended and hostile rather than surrendering to the healing touch of their tears.

Healing wounds on Memorial Day

It’s fish or cut bait time for the Lady Dragon tennis team, as they needed one more win to qualify for postseason play as the week started. With four games remaining on the reg-ular-season schedule it would seem like an easy task, but the remaining games after Mon-day’s match with North Quin-cy are against the iron of the Lady Dragons’ schedule.

The team got off to a good start last week with a 4-1 win over Silver Lake in Patriot League action.

Michaela Dowd took care of the Laker’s No. 1 player, Taylor Griffa, with a 6-1/6-3 win, while Casey Reinhart at No. 3 singles had a marathon match in beating Hayley Per-rane in a three-set tie-breaker 6-2/6-6 (TB 3-7), (TB 7-2).

The Duxbury duo of Julia Allen and Erin Nelson barely broke a sweat at No. 1 dou-bles with a 6-0/6-0 shutout of Allie Creighton and Em-ily Schiarizzi, while the No. 2 doubles tandem of Therese Kozmiski and Nicole Hanra-han took care of Sam Crespi and Alison Bierger, 6-4/6-1.

This was Duxbury’s sec-ond win over the Lakers and would hopefully build some momentum for last Wednes-day’s match with Scituate. Unfortunately, it wasn’t in the cards, as Coach Jutta Ros-sano’s team put up little op-position to the Sailors in a 5-0 loss.

Scituate’s Kate O’Connor knocked off Michaela Dowd

at No. 1 singles, 6-0/6-2, while Tucker lost to Caroline Mar-tin in the No. 2 slot, 6-2/6-2. Shawna Cochran was too much for Reinhart at No. 3, winning her match 6-0/6-2

Doubles wasn’t any easier, as Allen and Nelson dropped two sets to Destanee Ringler and Roisin Sullivan, 6-2/6-1, and Kozmiski and Hanra-han had their hands full with Christina McCourt and Sh-alyn O’Malley, 6-2/6-1.

It went from one extreme to the next on Friday as the Lady Dragons took care of Whitman-Hanson, 5-0.

First set wins by Dowd over Kristie Mielbye (6-1/6-3), Tucker over Lindsay Clay

(6-0/6-3), and Reinhart over Rachel Pellegrine (6-1/6-0) made for a comfortable after-noon and a quick match on the Panthers’ home court.

Nelson and Allen at No. 1 doubles were on the bus quick-ly with a shutout over Brenna Jackson and Alexa Schofield, 6-0/6-0, while Kozmiski and Hanrahan were not far behind with their blanking of Alys-sa Hayes and Emily Arthur, 6-0/6-0.

In possession of a 9-5 re-cord to start the week, Dux-bury hopes they can finish above the .500 mark and be ready for the tournament at the end of the month.

Dragons’ DenSports Editor Mike Halloran • [email protected]


Who says the Dragons are ready to be dethroned?

The loss to St. John’s earli-er this month certainly had the lacrosse community talking. However, after the Dragons took care of No. 1 ranked Bil-lerica last Tuesday night, that talk has now turned into con-cern that the king isn’t dead.

Coming back from a 3-1 first quarter deficit, the Drag-ons rattled off seven straight goals over three periods to

knock the Indians from the un-defeated ranks with a solid 9-6 win at Chandler Field.

The first quarter resem-bled a demolition derby race, as Billerica hit everything in sight, trying to intimidate the Dragons and get them off their game.

While it seemed to work for the first 12 minutes, they couldn’t keep it going for the full 48.

Two goals by Billerica’s Grant Whiteway in a four-minute span seemed to estab-lish why the Indians had such a high ranking, and Cameron Slatton’s goal on an assist by James Holland with 3:13 left in the quarter gave the Drag-ons bad memories of St. John’s Prep.

When they finally got pos-session in the final minute,

Duxbury called a time out to talk over the situation. What-ever they discussed worked to perfection, as junior Kane Haffey was stationed down low to the left of freshman goaltender Daniel Smith, where he buried his shot with three seconds left on the clock to cut the deficit to 3-1.

The goal seemed to light a fire under the Dragons, who started to punch back at the pesky Indians and suddenly revived their offense.

A goal by sophomore Mitch Barrington at 9:25 of the second quarter got Dux-bury rolling, and 28 seconds later senior Nick Woodgate tied it up at 3-3 when he took off from the top of box and went to his right before firing one past Smith.

No sooner had Woodgate

tied the game, when sopho-more Paul Hellar took a pass from a flattened Bryan Barry and fed senior captain John Ricciardi for the go-ahead goal at the 8:33 mark.

Duxbury would get a man-up situation later in the quarter and couldn’t score, while Bil-lerica called two time outs to set up their offense, and still made hardly a dent against a staunch Dragons defense.

The game was up for grabs after the break, but Dux-bury continued their offensive streak, scoring 12 seconds af-ter the face off when Ricciardi notched his second of the night for a 5-3 lead.

Billerica’s offense sudden-ly disappeared, allowing Dux-bury to keep piling on when Haffey beat Smith high from the right side for a 6-3 lead

midway through the quarter.A minute later a recovered

Seamus Connelly scored an unassisted goal making it 7-3,

and left the Indians to ponder what their short stay at the top was like.

With a comfortable lead entering the final quarter, the Dragons allowed Billerica some space and gave up a goal 13 seconds after the face off to cut the deficit to three.

Sophomores Will Siefert and Connolly answered with goals two minutes apart, giv-ing Duxbury a 9-4 lead with eight minutes left in the game and allowing the large contin-gent of Billerica fans time to figure out how to navigate the Rt. 128 traffic.

“They are a scrappy, tough, and tenacious team,” said Coach Chris Sweet. “We just didn’t do anything in that first quarter and were unable to match their intensity. Once we started getting ground balls. and Max Randall kept the ball away from Whiteway, things turned around for us.”

The game was also a state-ment game for the Dragons

and Sweet, who wanted to see how his players would react to tough competition after being manhandled by the Prep.

“I wanted to see how we would react to the St. John’s loss,” said the Duxbury coach. “We hadn’t been tested since then, but we came out strong and had a good momentum swing, so I was happy with our response.”

The Dragons had an easier time on Thursday when they traveled to Westwood and pinned Xaverian with a 10-3 loss, raising their record to 15-1 as they prepare to take on Hingham at home on Thurs-day at 4 p.m.

Senior captain Matt Sa-vard stole home with the win-ning run in bottom of the 11th inning to give the Dragons a 2-1 win over Silver Lake last Monday afternoon at Murphy Field.

The win allowed Duxbury to take over first place and ex-

tended its winning streak to six games, while running its record to 10-2.

Senior Jeff Blout was mag-nificent in his duel with Silver Lake’s Zach Smith, striking out 17 batters in 10 innings be-fore giving way to sophomore Sam Jacobsen, who pitched a scoreless 11th inning to pick up the win.

Blout allowed just two hits, but one of them was a home run by Laker Matt Woodman.

Savard’s heroics started when he worked a walk off Smith to start the 11th and promptly stole second base before moving on to third on a fielder’s choice. With two outs, Savard took off for home and sent the Duxbury fans home happy with an improb-

able ending.The other half of the Blout

brothers was on display in Sci-tuate on Wednesday, as Steve pitched a three-hitter and struck out six Sailors in an 8-1 victory.

Timely hitting continues to be a Duxbury trademark, as Savard had a pair of doubles and an RBI in his 3 for 4 per-formance, while the big blow came off the bat of senior Greg O’Neal who blasted a three-run homer. Senior Tommy Drummy had two RBI.

Duxbury pitching con-tinued its amazing stretch on Thursday, as Jacobsen pitched a complete game five-hitter with four strikeouts.

The offense had a whole new cast of stars, as junior Joe

Coyne went 2 for 4 with 3 RBI and senior Connor Inglis was 3 for 3 with an RBI. Steve Blout contributed an RBI and went 2 for 3 at the plate.

On Wednesday afternoon the Dragons will travel to Hingham for a 4 p.m. game with the Harbormen.

In the cozy world of Pa-triot League lacrosse, the Lady Dragons have a chance for their fourth straight league title on Thursday when they travel to Hingham to take on the Harborwomen at 4 p.m.

Sporting a 9-6-1 record with four games left in the reg-ular season schedule, life out-side the league is what is caus-ing problems for Duxbury.

A 14-7 loss to Hopkinton, a 14-14 tie with Notre Dame, and a 20-8 hammering at the hands of Londonderry (NH) surely had Coach Sue Paull up all night wondering how she could change the team’s cur-rent trend.

“This year’s schedule is the hardest Thom Holdgate has ever given us. All the non-league games are against top-20 Division I teams,” said Paull. “We lost almost all of them, but we’ve been able to hold our own, especially in the game with Wellesley. It’s go-ing to get us tournament ready by playing all these tough Di-vision I schools. I’m hoping the kids don’t get discouraged, but I also hope they realize these games are as hard as it gets.”

Thursday’s game with Notre Dame boiled down to who had possession last, as neither team could take more

than a one-goal lead through-out the afternoon.

Goals by senior captains Caitlin Burke and Katie Grif-fin got the Lady Dragons off and running before junior Keri Gould put them ahead 3-2. Notre Dame scored 47 seconds later to tie the score at 3-3, and it was tit-for-tat the rest of the way.

Goals by Griffin (2), Gould (2), freshman Hannah Mur-phy, and sophomore Molly Zaverucha gave Duxbury the lead five times in the first half and they went into the locker room ahead 9-8.

Duxbury thought they had the game in hand when Burke went solo from the top of the box and scored for a 14-13 lead with 3:10 remaining, but Notre Dame’s Grace Ciolfi’s fourth goal of the game with 1:05 left on the clock tied it up at 14.

The Duxbury defense held the fort in the final minute, stopping a ND shot and creat-ing an opportunity for a win in the final 30 seconds.

Unfortunately, the clear-ing pass bounced in front of the receiving player and skit-ted out of bounds, giving the Hingham school one more chance that went awry.

Gould and Griffin had big games with four goals each, while Duxbury’s Kate Bren-nan had seven points (4g/3a) for the visitors.

“If we are going to do anything in the tournament, we need to cut down on our turnovers. That is what killed us today,” said Paull. “There were a lot of dropped balls to-day and we need to work on our draws. We need to be able to come up with the ball nine out of 10 times and play with more confidence against these better teams.”

After easy wins against Scituate, Whitman-Hanson and Silver Lake last week, the boys’ tennis team looked to build on its impressive first day showing at Saturday’s South Sectional Individuals tournament.

In the Saturday morning singles session, Duxbury’s Brayden Minahan handled Nauset’s No. 1 player, Phil Stein, by the score of 6-0/7-5, while the Dragons’ No. 2 sin-gles player, Peter Muncey, was never in trouble against Cape Cod Academy’s Will White in a 6-2/6-3 win.

The bracket doubles finals saw Duxbury’s No. 1 duo of Alex Holopainen and Max Cote taking on the No. 1 team from Martha’s Vineyard, Winn Grimm and Justice Yenni. Duxbury took a hard-fought first set 6-4, but saw the MV duo strike back and take the second set rather easily with a 6-1 win.

After falling behind 4-1 in the third set, Cote and Ho-lopainen began their charge back and tied the score at 5-5 and 6-6. The tiebreaker was just as close, as the green team won the decisive point to take the third set, 7-6 (TB 7-5).

Duxbury’s unseeded sec-ond doubles team showed why its depth might be a deciding factor in the team tournament.

Toughing out a three-set win over No. 2-seeded Har-wich put Duxbury’s No. 2 doubles tandem of Steve Day and Will Kingsbury in the final against the Cape Cod Acad-emy’s No. 2 duo of John He-garty and Oliver Rogers.

After getting blitzed in a quick 6-1 first set loss, the power of the Day/Kingsbury duo began to connect with big

overheads and cannon serves, allowing Duxbury to take the second set, 7-5. The third set was all Duxbury, as CCA had no answer for the bombs being thrown their way in the Drag-ons’ 6-2 win.

The afternoon singles ses-sion saw both Duxbury singles players take home the draw sheet with easy wins. Mina-han was not threatened in his 6-2/6-3 win over CCA’s Tyler Kugler, while Muncey dis-patched Martha’s Vineyard’s No. 1 player, Reid Yennie.

The four bracket wins by Duxbury set up a big day at Sunday’s sectional quarter-finals.

After having its way with CCA on Saturday, Duxbury found the going tougher on Sunday, as Minahan lost a tough two-set match to CCA’s Jon Zelman, 6-3/6-3, while Muncey lost to the state’s overall No. 1-seed, Aaron Res-vin of Needham, 6-0/6-1.

In doubles, Cote and Ho-lopainen lost to No. 2-seeded Casey/Blaze from Barnstable, 6-1/6-4, while Duxbury No. 2 tandem of Day and Kings-bury lost to the defending state champions, Wellesley, by the score of 6-2/6-1.

“Even with ‘promotosis’ our kids played great,” said Coach John Bunar. “We can take some consolation in the fact that we came out of this tournament with a renewed confidence that we are on the path to playing the best tennis we can.”

With a week left in the sea-son, Duxbury hopes to make the most of it when it travels to Hingham on Wednesday af-ternoon at 4 p.m. in hopes of winning a share of the Patriot League crown with the Har-bormen.

After seeing their four-match winning streak come to an end against Nauset, the Lady Dragons started a new one in a big way by capturing the MASS Bay League-South-ern Division championship with a 5-1 win in Falmouth.

Junior Briana Connolly led the way for Duxbury, as the team’s No. 1 player shot five pars and two birdies for a 2-up win over Falmouth’s Mary Kate Robinson.

Playing partner Kara Fal-cone had a tough opponent in Meg Andersen, who won the match 3-up, despite a pair of birdies by Falcone.

Senior Kaitlin Sullivan was on fire with four birdies in the No. 3 slot, but a few bad holes kept Falmouth’s Shel-don Sparks in the match be-fore Sullivan won one-up.

Maria Varonko had the biggest win of the afternoon for Duxbury, as she won her match 4-up over Liz Rennie, while Lorin Gerraughty beat Ali Thomas 3-up with two birdies in her round and Allie Martin also won 3-up with a pair of birds over the Clippers’ Lynden Sparks.

With title in hand, the team will travel to Barnstable on Wednesday afternoon for a rescheduled match with the Red Raiders at 3:30 p.m.
