WedNeSdAy, JuNe 3, 2009 Board bucks water ban Duxbury has decided to challenge the state’s mandate to reduce its water usage, opting for a voluntary outdoor watering ban this summer instead of a mandatory one. Selectmen voted unanimously Monday to institute a voluntary ban in order to show the Department of Environmental Protection that it is trying to meet the agency’s water conservation requirements. However, the board rejected the idea of using a mandatory ban to meet the DEP’s requirement that Duxbury lower its per capita water usage from 82 By susanna sheehan, Clipper staff

It follows the usual summer water ban rules: odd numbered houses are restricted to watering on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays and even numbered homes are restricted to continued on page 19 CAR WASH: Duxbury firefighters look on as an SUV is towed from the water off Bay Road.

[email protected]. Restaurant Hibachi Lounge Dancing HaNaBi Tell a senior’s story Many of the folks who visit the Duxbury Senior Center have lived a lifetime of stories. And now they’re looking for someone to help preserve those memories in writing. Local writing teacher Mary Conway has started a program at the Senior Center that pairs seniors looking to record their stories and memories with writing volunteers. Conway teaches writing workshops to scribes of all ages at the Miramar Retreat Center. When her own father was in his last few years, she began to write down his stories. When he died at the age of 101, the journal had over 100 entries. “I felt the journaling my father had done with my family had been so helpful,” she said. “When he was in his last years it was really important to have these stories in notebooks.” In 2007, Conway approached Senior Center Director Joanne Moore with the idea of bring the program to Duxbury’s senior citizens at large. And so the Senior Writing Mentor program was born. By Justin GraeBer, Clipper editor

Conway has personally worked with over 25 people since starting the program. When she first begin working with Duxbury’s seniors, she helped a man named Lloyd who was over 80-years-old record his memories. She would sit with Lloyd and talk about photos, things he had hanging on his wall, etc. “You say, ‘tell me about this,’ then the story comes,” she said. “The art of listening is something we emphasize.” Soon Lloyd had a working scrapbook. He used to come to the Senior Center with all the materials in a briefcase, and later, when he was forced to start using a walker, he would hand a bag with the book on the walker. “It became extremely important for him,” Conway said. “Almost every time we’d meet he’d have a story.” Conway hosts mentor training sessions at the Senior Center. The next meeting is July 9. For more information, contact Donna Ciappina, Outreach Coordinator at 781-9345774 ext. 105.

TRACY SHEEHAN PHOTOGRAPHY 781-585-7363 TracySheehan.com Bay Road, in the direction of Hall’s Corner, when he lost control of the car and drove into the water. The man, Russell Sharp, 33, of Braintree, told police upon their arrival that he had been sending a text message. The man did not speak to reporters at the scene but told police he was not injured. “He looked up and the next thing he knew, he was in the water,” Lt. Roger Banfill said at the scene. Lt. Lewis Chubb of the Duxbury Police said Monday that Sharp had been issued a citation for negligent operation of a motor vehicle, impeded operation of a motor vehicle and marked lanes violation. He confirmed from the police report that Sharp said he had been sending a text message while driving. The Massachusetts Senate just passed an amendment to the budget that would ban texting while driving, and would also prohibit public transit operators from holding a cell phone while driving. The budget is currently in conference. There are also pending bills in the house that would prohibit texting, would ban junior operators from using a cell phone while driving, and another that would require all drivers to use a hands-free unit. State Rep. Tom Calter said he supported the idea of banning texting while driving –– calling it a “serious public safety issue” –– but voted against a similar bill when it came up in the House last year because it would have made texting a surchargeable offense. He said he thought on friday, police and fire officials responded to a call of a car in the water, with a man standing on the roof, according to Deputy fire Chief Christopher West. When emergency crews arrived, the man had safely swum to shore, but his car was still stuck in the mud of the inlet about 15-20 feet from shore. tacking a seven-year surcharge onto a proposed $100 fine was “punitive.” “I do support banning texting and punishing people that are caught texting, but I don’t think it should be a surchargable offense,” Calter said. “But studies and personal experience have indicated that kids aren’t as worried about surcharges as their parents.” Rep. Daniel Webster said while he agreed people shouldn’t text and drive, he would rather see police enforce driving statues already on the books. “I think it’s incumbent upon police officers to realize this type of behavior endangers members of the public,” he said.

The existing charge of operating negligently, which was used by Duxbury Police after Friday’s incident, can carry a fine from $20 to $200 or jail time, from two weeks to two years, Webster said, depending on the circumstance of the incident. On Friday, police and fire officials responded to a call of a car in the water, with a man standing on the roof, according to Deputy Fire Chief Christopher West. When emergency crews arrived, Sharp had safely swum to shore, but his car was still stuck in the mud of the inlet about 15-20 feet from shore. West said once they learned the driver was safe, the main concern of fire-rescue crews was the environmental impact of any spilled gasoline. He said there was a “minute” amount of gas spilled when the car was being removed from the water, but that it was contained by booms placed by firefighters in survival suits, floating around the crash site. “All in all we were pretty fortunate the operator was able to free himself,” West said. A fire department diver was able to hook a cable around the front wheels of the submerged vehicle, and a tow company pulled the SUV out of the water. Sharp’s Braintree phone number is unlisted, and other attempts to reach him for comment on Tuesday were unsuccessful. Sharp has not yet been arraigned in court, according to a clerk at Plymouth District Court on Tuesday morning. wednesday, June 3, 2009 Duxbury Clipper 7 Town to adopt professional conduct policy in wake of letters Selectmen reviewed the first draft of a professional conduct policy for town employees, which they said was necessary in light of recent events. Personnel administrator Jeannie Horne presented the draft policy to selectmen Monday night. The first paragraph states that “town employees are expected to act honestly, conscientiously, reasonably and in good faith at all times having regard to their responsibilities, the interests of the town and the welfare of its residents.” The policy will eventually become part of an employee handbook, on which Horne is working. At the meeting, selectman Chris Donato asked what had prompted the need for the policy. Selectmen Chairman Betsy Sullivan said the professional conduct policy was needed in town hall to give employees information on their rights and the town’s expectations, but she cited a recent story in the Duxbury Clipper as further impetus for such a policy. Sullivan said she felt the story contained unnecessary personal information By susanna sheehan, Clipper staff
[email protected] New book examines Bolsey’s art “The Shape with No Name: The Art of Carole Bolsey,” by Donald Kuspit, a new book of paintings, installations, and other works by Carole Bolsey, will be released in June. The artist will sign advance copies at the opening of her show at the Art Complex Museum at 189 Alden Street on June 14, from 1:30-3:30 p.m. The book’s release coincides with the opening of her exhibit at the Art Complex Museum. “The Shape with No Name: The Art of Carole Bolsey” was published by Grayson Publishing. The exhibit of Bolsey’s work, part of the Art Complex’s “On Their Own” series of solo shows, will run until August 16. about a town employee without that person’s permission. The May 27 story was about letters from two Duxbury police unions that took a vote of no confidence in Town Manager Richard MacDonald. The article listed his actions toward a town employee that prompted a complaint against him with the Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination. “That brought it to a head in my mind,” said Sullivan. “I don’t think it was appropriate and I don’t think it was kind.” The one-page professional conduct document states that employees must respect the privacy of individuals and not abuse confidential information. Town Manager Richard MacDonald said the town has needed such a policy for a long time. “It’s been long overdue,” said MacDonald. “We are so far behind in our personnel policies and procedures. We have to catch up.” “We have been working to professionalize town hall,” MacDonald added. “It’s our job as employers to set the expectations,” said Horne. The policy outlines the town’s expectations of its employees, including that they show up for work, carry out their duties in an efficient and competent manner, and follow instructions and policies. According to the document, the policy’s intent is to ensure that an employee can meet the town’s expectations in performance and behavior and if they can’t, the employee can get the help they need to meet those expectations. Also the policy states that if disciplinary action is needed, it is fair and appropriate. The policy applies to all paid, appointive town employees, except those under the School Committee’s supervision. Those employees in unions are subject to the policy’s provisions that are not specifically regulated by their union contracts. Horne called the draft policy “a stepping stone” and said that she was working to produce more human resources information, including the employee handbook. Selectmen decided to postpone a vote to adopt the professional conduct policy until Selectman Jon Witten could review it.

No white linen napkin service here, just homemade, finger-lickin’ barbecue served up with a smile and a nod from owner Elaine Murphy. She loads up an order and suggests eating in the small water garden just beyond the Kingston Nursery fence – but take lots of napkins … you’re gonna need them! If your bank account is saying “spend less” and your appetite is staying “eat more” then a stop at a local roadside stand might be just the ticket. These family owned businesses are casual, downhome spots offering old fashioned good food and value. Kerry (no relation to Elaine) Murphy of “Hot Dog Murphys,” located in the parking lot of the Lowe’s hardware store in Pembroke, custom designed and built her sleekly efficient silver “cart.” More of a trailer than a cart, Murphy serves juicy hot dogs, from scratch chili, burgers, fries and home-made tuna rolls to hungry shoppers and Lowe’s employees. This is a place where everyone knows your name and a special order will always be honored. The ever popular “Murphy Dog” is a juicy Massachusettsmade dog, with a squiggle of yellow mustard, a dab of sweet relish, chunky onions and tomatoes and a whole hot sport pepper (a spicy surprise that tempers the sweet relish). Kerry tops the dog with a pickle spear and sprinkles the entire affair with celery salt. Sitting under an umbrella table munching on Two Murphy Dogs, a soda and a bag of chips for $6.25 makes for a budget-friendly and delicious meal. Elaine at True Blue BBQ makes every sauce, soup, dressing and dish from scratch and spends hours smoking ribs, chicken, and pork on a behemoth of a smoker just a stones throw from her stand. She uses local hardwood to smoke the pork shoulder for 13 luxurious hours before it falls onto the bun slathered in home made sauce. At $6.50, this roadside favorite satisfies the appetite and the budget. A summer meal isn’t complete without an ice cream cone ordered roadside through a window of a small shop. Dairy Twist on Route 53 in Pembroke offers a dizzying array of ice cream choices. Unique flavors, luscious toppings and sauces satisfy some while others prefer a classic soft serve vanilla-chocolate twist cone. Enjoy your roadside treat perched on a nearby bench or hop back in your car and head for home. Hot Dog Murphys: 108 Old Church Street, Pembroke (at Lowe’s). Open daily (closed Tuesdays). True Blue BBQ: 191 Summer Street, Kingston MA (at Kingston Nursery). Open Thursday, Friday and Saturday 11 am-8pm. The season ends when it is “too cold”.

Among the major changes to the Island Creek plan include the elimination of one of the three buildings planned for retail/commercial space, effectively cutting the original planned square footage in half, from 28,000 to 14,000. The main street of the development that runs from the street to a proposed assisted living facility in the rear of the property will be widened, Brogna said. A “tot lot” playground was also created in a central location, and a second emergency entrance to the assisted living facility was added at the suggestion of the fire department. Brogna also said the developer was willing to add up to 150 additional parking spaces, mostly on the west side of the property, that could be shared by the adjacent First Baptist Church. Houston said that “many of the changes are positive” and commended the Island Creek * Engineers from both Island Creek North and the town say the off ramps at Exit 10 are traffic nightmares, and that Duxbury would benefit from a traffic signal on Tremont Street. An engineer for the developer presented several different options for a light near the northbound ramp –– but said a light wouldn’t be necessary to approve the project. team for their willingness to alter plans. He said there are a few sticking points, such as what material to use for the sidewalks along the main boulevard. Jeffrey Dirk of Vanasse & Associates, Inc., traffic engineer for Island Creek, presented an updated traffic study to “The traffic signal is warranted, but I’m not sure it’s absolutely necessary for those to be in place for this project to proceed,” – Ed Marchant, 40B consultant the Zoning Board of Appeals on Thursday. He said that new numbers from MassHighway and local police show that crash rates at the Route 53 intersection have gone down, although the developer is still willing to make improvements there. However, the ramps to Route 3, both north and south, are still traffic nightmares.

He presented several options for placing traffic signals, including a signal at the current entrance, a light directly across from the highway ramp in front of the First Baptist Church, and an “offset” intersection. However, a representative from the church present at Thursday’s meeting said they weren’t interested in selling a parcel of land that would be necessary for the second option. Ed Marchant, a 40B consultant working with Island Creek, said the developer would like to proceed with the project as is. “The traffic signals are warranted, but I’m not sure it’s absolutely necessary for those to be in place for this project to proceed,” he said. When pressed by ZBA members, Dirk said that the intersection was a problem but met the engineering criteria for an efficient intersection. Houston was reluctant to call the interchange unsafe, but did say “it’s not optimal.” Dirk also said that the project would help push Duxbury up the state’s list new traffic signals. He said the developer has already helped the town file some paperwork. Island Creek will be providing some financial assistance as well, said Marchant. Marchant also asked if his team could meet with a nonquorum of the Zoning Board before the July public hearing to iron out some of the details on the site plan drawings. Winter Blues???

In Thailand, she’s a 12th grade English teacher, but here she worked with mostly elementary school students –– third graders at Alden. “They are not easy like the little kids!” Kanishthaputra said of the older students. When the opportunity to visit the United States first came up, she jumped at the chance, since she teaches English and her only experience of this country came from a textbook. “I think it’s a good opportunity to practice my English and learn about American culture,” she said. She started her exchange teaching program in Hudson and came to Duxbury earlier this spring. She is staying with Susan Thanas, a Duxbury residents and the visiting teacher coordinator for AFS in Massachusetts. Thanas spent some time in Thailand herself as an exchange teacher. “I think it opens up a whole new world to people,” Thanas said. “I think the friendships that are made are very important.” Kanishthaputra teaches in a public school in Thailand. Although she said there are many similarities between the students, there are also many differences between the educational systems of the two countries. Class sizes in Thailand are bigger, sometimes 40 kids per class. The length of the school day is the same, but Thai students have a summer vacation in April and another break in October. “American students practice openly talking, asking questions,” Kanishthaputra said. “You train kids to be thinking all the time ... You teach your kids well to think, to create, to research.” She said this is the aspect of American education she hopes to take back home to Thailand. “We’re trying to reform our educational system. I think it will be better soon,” she said. “I will bring my exposure here back to my school.” At Alden, she has been teaching the students about Thai culture. Recently, she gave a lesson on the folk festival Loy Krathong, where Thai people send baskets down a river. The baskets represent getting rid of negative things so a person can begin anew. In the U.S., Kanishthaputra has been getting a cultural education of her own. She came to the country in the midst of the election cycle, and recently took a trip with Thanas to Washington D.C. “It is important to understand other nations,” she said. Her favorite part of her visit, however, is working with the young children, and the enthusiastic greeting they give her each day. “It gives me a warm feeling,” she said.

This will save time and money a potential buyer would spend transferring the trucks from the dealership to the beach. Evan Sobran, the coordinator of the “beach ride” event, postponed it primarily because there were not enough trucks at the event to make it worthwhile. Sobran attributed this to the sputtering automotive industry. There was initially a lot of interest, he said, but he believes the event would be much more successful if it could offer more variety of vehicles. He is planning to run the event in August when some hybrids, diesels, and an assortment of brand new 2010 models will be available.

Fire officials warn of scam The Duxbury Fire Department said this week they have learned, form fire officials in another community, that a company called APX Alarm Security out of Provo, Utah has been targeting different communities with strong arm tactics selling alarm systems. They usually go after the elderly. The sales reps push hard for the homeowner to sign a contract on the spot, even if there is already an alarm system on premise. Reportedly, once the contract is signed and a minimal deposit changes hands, an installer shows up within minutes! The tech then installs a simple, wireless system, (disconnecting the existing alarm if there is one), gets the customer’s signature, and leaves. More than a few times, in the wake of this sell/install/ retreat blitzkrieg, there remains a customer who is legally obligated to pay for two alarm systems, the one he already had, and the one just installed! Please call the Duxbury Fire Department at 781-934-5693 with any questions or concerns. ‘Little Red Riding Hood’ preview South Shore Conservatory’s Duxbury Music Festival will present a free, sneak peek of their summer production of Seymour Barab’s operetta, Little Red Riding Hood, at the Duxbury Free Library on Thursday, June 11 at 10 a.m. Preschoolers ages 3-5 and their parents/guardians are invited to enjoy this 45-minute musical hosted by Beth MacLeod, director of performance at the Conservatory.

Share Your vieWS in our SounDing off SeCtion ast week’s incident on Bay Road puts a fine point on an issue that’s been coming up over and over again: texting while driving. The driver on Friday was allegedly sending a text message while driving, but thankfully, no one was hurt here. The biggest damage was a damp car and a young man who probably feels pretty silly. However, the situation could have been more serious –– the driver could have hurt himself or someone else. In Boston recently, nearly 50 people were injured in a a trolley crash. The cause? The driver was sending a text to his girlfriend and rear-ended the car in front of him. In the most serious case, a New Bedford man was sentenced to 2 1/2 years in prison for killing a 13year-old bicyclist while text messaging and driving. There are several bills working their way through the state legislature that have to deal with cell phone use while driving, or even text messaging specifically. Politicians aren’t exactly going out on a limb by professing their strong support of banning texting while driving. It’s like saying you’re against someone cooking pasta on their passenger seat while merging onto Route 3, or that you strongly condemn playing badminton out of the window of your Jeep. However, there was a time when talking on the phone while driving probably seemed just as silly, so it’s not a bad thing that lawmakers are paying attention to the texting issue. Like anything, the devil is in the details. The points Duxbury’s legislators made when discussing the subject, about enforceability and insurance issues, are good questions that need to be asked an answered. We need the debate over texting while driving to be more than: “Don’t do it.” We need to attack this problem before it becomes more widespread. Just a reminder that I will be at the Duxbury Free Library on Thursday, at 10:30 a.m., for a talk on citizen journalism. More than ever, newspapers like the Clipper are dependent on the community for news, photos and Around Town items, so I’ll answer some questions on how best to get information in the newspaper.

Watering must take place between 5-8 a.m. Since the ban is voluntary, there are no fines associated with it. A mandatory ban carries a $50 fine for the first offense and $100 for each subsequent offense with the water department issuing tickets. Town Manager Richard MacDonald said selectmen have ordered voluntary water bans for the past five years and that they have worked well during the peak times in the summer to take pressure off the town’s wells and pumps. “People have responded and it has helped us out greatly,” said MacDonald. Three weeks ago, Water Department Superintendent Paul Anderson told selectmen he felt that a mandatory outdoor watering ban would show a good faith effort to meet DEP’s goals despite an abundant water supply in the town’s underground aquifer. He said he has long been arguing Duxbury’s position with the DEP, but felt the town should take some action on water conservation in order to avoid possible fines. Anderson did not think the voluntary watering ban would sit well with the DEP, as the town has had such a ban for the past five summers and has failed to meet the state’s goals. However, Anderson said that while the DEP has threatened to fine towns that don’t conform to its rules, it has never done so. According to Water Advisory Board Chairman George Wadsworth, it rains an average of 24 billion gallons a year in Duxbury. By comparison, the town pumped out 510 million • Voted unanimously to name the north baseball field behind the Tarkiln Community Center the “Ralph Sarro Field.” Sarro, who died earlier this year, was a founding member of Duxbury’s youth baseball and was involved with it as a coach for many years.

The new lease also says that if the costs are less than the $400,000, the beach’s owners, the Duxbury Beach Reservation, Inc., will roll over the unused balance into the next year. The Reservation has obtained a line of credit from a local bank in order to meet the costs of a major storm event on the beach. • Granted a class II auto license to Susan Donovan doing business as Duxbury Auto Sales out of an office at 282 Saint George Street.

Duxbury’s water usage is very stable from month to month, with the exception of higher summer usage, when it rises by almost 25 percent, he said. Wadsworth said a mandatory water ban will help the town with wear and tear on its pumps and facilities during peak demand but it will not conserve water. “I see this not as an environmental issue but as a political issue,” he added.

[email protected] They come into the tournament in a very unfamiliar role: the second seed in the MIAA Division I Lacrosse Championships. Duxbury Acton-Boxboro Section B • Wednesday, June 3, 2009 boys’ lacrosse 12 6 By virtue of their 12-10 loss to St. John’s Prep earlier in the season, the Dragons will take a back seat to the Eagles, who enter postseason play as the top seed with a 16-2 record. It appears the Dragons have the tougher draw of the two teams with Xaverian (#7), BC High (#6), and Billerica (#3) on their side. Therefore, the road won’t be easy if the Dragons are to repeat, and they’ll get their stiffest test yet on Wednesday afternoon when they host Xaverian in quarterfinal play at 4 p.m. in Duxbury. While the road to the championship is fraught with danger, the Dragons had little trouble in first-round action when they defeated ActonBoxboro, 12-6, on Saturday afternoon in Duxbury. the road to the title The Dragons will host Xaverian in quarterfinal play on Wednesday afternoon at 4 p.m. in Duxbury.

Wide Pine & Hardwood Floors 781.934.6551 S The Colonials came into the game as the #18 seed with a 10-8 record, and beat Haverhill, 11-10, in preliminary round action to advance. If anyone had told you the Dragons would only be leading 1-0 after the first period of Saturday’s game, you surely would have wondered if maybe they were just waiting for the finals to begin. Playing a deliberate, slowdown game, the Colonials held Duxbury to one goal that came off the stick of senior captain Jake Harvey with 3:14 left in the period. AB would continue to aggravate the Dragons by tying the game just under three minutes into the second quarter, when David Cremmen picked off a deflected clearing pass and put one past goalie Mickey Zaverucha to make it 1-1. Sophomore Kane Haffey would get it right back, as he found himself alone at the left post to take a pass and put it by Sean Ohanian just 14 seconds later. Cremmen would score again to make it 2-2, but goals by Harvey (2) and Haffey (2) made it 6-2 with 7:41 left in the half. AB sandwiched a pair of goals around a Hakeem Lecky rocket in the final four minutes and left the field at halftime in goods spirits trailing 7-4. The Dragons sometimes let you think that there is a possibility that this could be one of those rare days when they are ripe for a loss. If the Colonials were thinking that after 24 minutes of action, then reality set in quickly in the second half. Holding the visitors to just two meaningless goals late in the second half, Duxbury walked away with a 12-6 win on second-half goals by Lecky, Haffey, Quinn Cully, and Andy Puopolo (2). “They were pumped up and ready to play,” said Duxbury Coach Chris Sweet. “We had a long layover since our last game, so I’m just hoping it’s rust. But we’ll need to play much better if we are going to go all the way.” continued on page 6 Formerly Mr. Beam (Rt.139) Pembroke, MA P:781-826-WOOD kitchenfloorsandmore.com • Lunch • Dinner • Bar & Lounge Open 7 Days Gift Certificates 133 Ocean Street • Brant Rock 781-834-9144 t’s taken a few years, but I can finally spell it without my spellchecker firing out a red line. Baccalaureate. Duxbury High School’s Class of 2009 has theirs tomorrow night, Thursday, June 4 at 7 p.m. at Holy Family Church. Historically a religious service, Baccalaureate is sponsored by the Duxbury Interfaith Council, not the School Department. It remains a religious service, and local clergy will take turns addressing the Class of 2009, praying, and sharing parting exhortations. The tone Baccalaureate: from the heart I By Bruce Barrett, clipper columnist
[email protected] is always reverent, but in Duxbury there’s a healthy, vibrant new development. Baccalaureate comes from the graduates, not at the graduates. It’s a chance for our many talented seniors to WHAT’S GOING ON HERE? speak, read, sing, dance or play music in a way that tells us and their fellow students something from their hearts. They’ve done this all year, but tomorrow night they’ll be performing from another direction, without judges or prizes, strictly from the heart. You can expect some top-notch talent. The service and each contributor rehearse a couple of times, including a dress rehearsal. Moreover, each message is approved by an application process that ensures that the content is appropriate for a religious service. continued on page 4 TAKE-OUT Native Grown Turkeys & Turkey Products 781-5 85-2392 www.bongis.com Rt. 53, Duxbury, MA 02332 Find help fast in the Service Directory … page 17 2 Duxbury Clipper Wednesday, June 3, 2009 Religious services First Baptist fbcd.org 781- 934-6095 Dr. Kevin Cassidy Sun. worship, 9:30 a.m., Sunday school class, children through adult, immediately following morning worship; 5:30 p.m., junior and senior high youth groups; 6 p.m., devotion and prayer time; Wed., 9:30 a.m., ladies’ Bible study, 6:30 p.m., Awana for children age 4 - 6 grade, 6:45 p.m., adult Bible study taught by Pastor Kevin.

[email protected] It’s not a heavy-handed approach. It is a way of being respectful toward the venue, the historical meaning of a baccalaureate service, and the messages of all contributors. For some of the graduating seniors, you’ll have to read between the lines. The performers tomorrow night will stand in, so to speak, for the many more who shine in other ways, or shine only with an inner light. Still others shine gloriously, but their light just stays outside the usual three-ring circus of high school life. Duxbury’s High School sailors, for example, or the topnotch Alpine ski team make vivid contributions to the town’s academic and athletic life. This year’s Duxbury High School Figure Skating Team won a New England Championship for the second year in a row. Senior Jacquie Cronin, Sophomores Alex Shaughnessy, Tessa Riccio and Catherine Vitaro, and Freshman Maddie Clark scored that success just this past Friday at the North Shore Open in Reading. Keep and eye on the future for the skaters – there’s a lad in the middle school who skates up a storm and can only add to the team’s balance. Back when I “discovered” Duxbury’s figure skaters, and again when I “found” the hot-shot Alpine Ski Team at the Blue Hills, I learned some remarkable facts: these kids know each other better than we do, and they truly recognized themselves. They know each other. Even when publicity is hard to come by, these kids’ successes can be well known by the other kids. My youngest is a junior – soon to be senior – and when I mentioned one or the other of my “new” discoveries, her reaction was matter-of-fact. “Oh, yeah,” she would say. “She’s a wicked good skater.” Those that she didn’t know, I’m sure, are well known by others. But the deeper fact lay in my experience of the kids themselves. The theater kids who work behind the scenes, the figure skaters, the sailors, the slalom skiers all support each other with an intensity no newspaper story could match. No excuse for my missing a story for “What’s Going On Here?” but it’s been an eye-opener to me to see how strongly these young spirits notice and support each other. No excuse either for me, or for the graduating seniors, for missing any young spirits who aren’t so visible. But nothing is uncorrectable. Stay in touch with each other, young seniors, and know that five, ten or forty years from now you can still find joy and connection with each other. Find it again, or find for the first time.

[email protected] With Hingham’s dispatching (12-8) of undefeated and #1 seed Martha’s Vineyard, the road is clear for the Lady Dragons to march toward a MIAA Division II South Sectional lacrosse title. Duxbury Franklin By mike Halloran sports editor

The Lady Dragons beat Norwell, 18-13, three weeks ago, and a victory over the Clippers (#11 seed) would send Duxbury (#2 seed) to the South Sectional final against the winner of Hingham (#9 seed) versus Hopkinton (#4 seed). light on her feet: Duxbury’s Meg Muncey beats three Dover-sherborn players to a loose ball during friday’s 12-10 win over the raiders. Photos by Mike Halloran game away. Friday’s game with the #10-seeded Raiders proved far more difficult, as the lead went back and forth throughout the first half before settling in with a 6-5 Duxbury lead at halftime on goals by Muncey (2), Alexa Matthews, McCarthy, and Burke (2). Scoring became harder early in the second half, as both defenses dug in. Complicating matters for Duxbury was the loss of McCarthy, who attacked the net and accidentally took the stick of goalie Emily Thorndike on the shoulder, ending her afternoon with 22:52 left in the game. Duxbury looked like it broke the game open midway through the half when Muncey and Griffin combined on a pair of goals for an 8-5 lead just before D-S’s Kristen Askin traded goals with Burke to make it 9-6 with 10:35 left on the clock. The Raiders began to assert themselves, as Duxbury had trouble maintaining possession in trying to kill the clock. What had been a comfy three-goal margin disappeared over the next eight minutes when Dover-Sherborn’s Casey Flight tied the game with 2:29 to go. Draw controls have been a problem all year long for the Lady Dragons, but sophomore Olivia McCarthy saved the day, scooping up a groundball after the face-off and moving it into the offensive zone where she found Muncey, who in turn fed Burke for what proved to be the game-winner with two minutes remaining. A Muncey goal with 56 second left iced the game for Duxbury. “It was tough to penetrate that defense and their goalie was outstanding,” said Paull. “They were tenacious and they forced us to make a lot of turnovers in that first half. We told our kids at halftime to move their goalie around and shoot high. I also thought Alexa Matthews was huge and our MVP today along with Muncey. But if we are going to win this we can’t make as many turnovers.” no go: siobhan Mccarthy decides to take the ball back out and restart her offense against franklin. defense.

If we are just off a little bit then we have to slug it out with the other team,” said the Duxbury coach. “It was a close game with Xaverian last time, so we’ll have to play just as well. They threw some zone at us last time, but we should be able to handle that. The one thing about Xaverian is that they never quit, so we have to play a full four quarters.” Matt hetherington (16) and Max randall (26) on defense.

[email protected] Offense deserts Dragons in Foxboro loss baseball 3 0 The Dragons got the pitching they needed, but the defense and offense took the day off Monday afternoon, as Duxbury was eliminated from the MIAA Division II South Sectional baseball tournament by #18 seed Foxboro, 3-0. Clagg reached on an error, and a walk and a hit later the Warriors had the bases loaded with nobody out. Sophomore catcher Seth Khoury singled to drive in two runs, putting runners at first and second. Matt Cote would sacrifice both runners along with a bunt, and Brian Kronmiller would bring home the final run of the game with a sacrifice fly. Sciretta was forced to throw 34 pitches in the first inning, but it didn’t seem to faze the Duxbury hurler, as he surrendered just three hits the rest of the game. Foxboro pitcher Mike Far- chance at getting to Farrell in the second inning when Sciretta led off with a walk and Colin Woods singled, only to have the next three batters fly out to end the inning. The Dragons had their chances in the fourth inning as well, with Sciretta singling and Woods walking with one out. Once again Farrell was at his best, striking out the next two batters to get out of the inning. With Sciretta keeping Foxboro at bay, it was up to the Duxbury offense that had averaged close to nine runs a game during the regular season. a MasterPiece: Junior pitcher Jeff blout threw a gem in the opener against oliver ames, striking out 12 and allowing just two hits. the Winning run: Junior Pat McWilliams launches a fly ball that brought home the winning run against oliver ames. With sophomore Phil Sciretta pitching his last game for the Dragons, Duxbury was hoping the lefthander could dispatch the Warriors in the same was they eliminated fellow Hockomock League entry Oliver Ames on Saturday. Unfortunately for Sciretta, the game started on a sour note, as Foxboro manufactured three runs on just two hits in the first inning and got all the runs they would need to eliminate the Dragons. Foxboro leadoff hitter Joe rell had the Dragons eating out of his hand all afternoon with an assortment of sliders and curve balls that had Duxbury hitters tied up in knots. “Once you get to the tournament you are going to see a lot better pitching,” said Duxbury Coach Barney Earle. “Farrell was always around the plate and his breaking ball was effective in key situations. That staff has now only given up three runs in 21 innings of tournament play.” Duxbury had its best Duxbury managed to get base runners throughout the game. But doing something with them proved a major task. A Sean Cross single with two outs in the bottom of the fifth ended in him getting caught stealing, while Tyler Genereux’s leadoff single in the sixth left him stranded at first. Two quick outs in the bottom of the seventh brought Joe Coyne to the plate, where the sophomore singled for a glimmer of hope that was immediately dashed by Farrell’s sixth strikeout of the game. The loss followed Duxbury’s dramatic 3-2 win over Oliver Ames on Saturday at Chandler Field. A Cross double, a sacrifice fly by Shane DiBona, and a solo home run by Sciretta in the third inning staked the Dragons to a 2-0 lead. However, Duxbury generously gave up their two-run advantage in the top of the fourth with two outs on an error, a walk and a Matt Soucie two-run single. Duxbury pitcher Jeff Blout (12 Ks/2 hits) was immense, retiring the next six batters in the fifth and sixth innings, including striking out the side in the sixth. In the bottom of the sixth, the Dragons would score the winning run on singles by Sciretta and Matt Savard, followed by a sacrifice fly by junior Pat McWilliams. Things got a little shaky in the top of the seventh when an OA runner reached third with two outs, but Savard managed to grab a corkscrew grounder at second base for the final out of the game. The loss ends Duxbury’s season with a 15-7 record, and also marks the end of the high school baseball careers of DiBona, Cross, Liam Bevans, Genereux, Jack Garrity, Woods, Tom Dacey, and Connor Anderson.

We got to the tournament a lot faster than I thought we would, and although we are losing three solid players to graduation, I’m looking forward to next year. I was very pleased with how we did. These kids gave me a lot of joy and I learned a lot. It was a blast.” girls’ tennis 4 1 year Coach Jutta Rossano, who did a tremendous job in her rookie season, getting the program back on a winning track and grooming several underclassmen for what appears to be a promising future. Michaela Dowd is one of those players that Rossano will be counting on next year, but on Saturday Duxbury’s #1 singles player had her hands full against Westwood’s Allison Lim, who breezed to a 6-1/6-1 win over the Duxbury sophomore.

It looked like Duxbury was on its way to a tie when senior Liza Thomas won her first set over Mary Kate Norton, 7-5, at #2 singles, and the #1 doubles tandem of Jane Morgan and Cory Tucker also took a 7-5 first-set win over Sarah Chen and Kelley Steeves. With a comeback bid a clear possibility, Duxbury looked to Julia Allen and Charlotte Weil at #2 doubles to come through against Rachael Tuleja and Olivia O’Leary.

McKinley finished second in the 2-mile, while nee took fifth in the 400-meters. “Apponequet may have been 19-0, but they couldn’t bring it like we did,” Bunar said. TJ Scholberg and Ben Startzell at #2 doubles got the action rolling on Monday afternoon with a 6-1/6-2 win over Eric Card and Tyler Whalen, while freshman Connor O’Keefe followed shortly with a 6-1/6-4 victory over Eric Edelman at #3 singles. Freshman Peter Muncey continues to have little problem at #2 singles, as he won over Nate Kent, 6-1/6-4, and was joined on the sidelines by Connor Dunphy and Alex Holopainen, who triumphed over Tim Barbero and Evan Waldron, 6-3/6-3. Having done their jobs, the rest of the Dragons were now able to sit and watch #1 singles player Brayden Minahan hand Pat Walker his first loss of the year, 7-6 (12-10)/6-4. On Saturday the Dragons opened play versus #9 seeded Somerset High School and won easily, 5-0. Minahan won his match at #1 singles over John Charest, 6-3/6-0, as his laser strokes were too much for the Somerset junior, while Muncey is proving that the #2 position is a strength for the Dragons, as he was off the court early in a 6-1/6-0 win. O’Keefe got the call at #3 singles and had butterflies early on. But the rookie regained his composure to win 11 straight games in his 7-5/6-0 victory. The first doubles tandem of Dunphy and Holopainen beat a quality opponent in a three-set marathon, 6-1/4-6 /6-3, with both sides exhibiting big power on both ends of the court. Second doubles with Scholberg and Pete Tenaglia won easily, 6-0/6-3, to complete the sweep.

This included a third-place and two fifth-places finishes.
