Memorial Day honors veterans By Justin Graeber, Clipper Editor [email protected]

For Betty McNeil, watching the Memorial Day Parade has been a tradition for years and years. McNeil and her husband, a former Duxbury Police Chief, built their home on Depot Street in 1954, and used to sit on the front lawn and watch the parade march down the street to the First Parish Church. McNeil’s love for the parade is so strong, however, that even after she sold the home a few years ago, the current owners save a seat for her on Memorial Day. continued on page 17

A pair of police unions are criticizing Town Manager Richard MacDonald for what they say is a lack of support for their chief. The Duxbury Police Commanders Association, in a letter dated March 26, and the Duxbury Police Dispatchers Association, in a letter dated March 30, said their respective organizations took a vote of no confidence in MacDonald. MacDonald declined to

comment on the letters and the vote, and would only say that “there’s always a story behind the story.” In the letters, union officials say they stand by Chief Mark DeLuca amid rumors that the chief’s contract may not be renewed. “If this is true it would be a travesty and totally unjust,” wrote Lt. Roger Banfill, Lt. Lewis Chubb and Lt. Susan James in the Commanders Association’s letter. “The continued on page 12

Maritime school moves into new multi-use facility continued from page one

2,500 square foot function room that overlooks Duxbury Bay. “Things were inefficient,” said DBMS Executive Director Chuck Leonard. “The idea was to combine everything in a multi-function building.” Getting the building ready for the Opening of the Bay was no easy task. School staff only moved into the building about a week before the festival, and some painting and other work was going on almost up to the opening. Leonard said there will be a more official grand opening of the building later this summer. “We’ve been working around construction guys and

painters,” said DBMS’s Linda Herrick. “We really scrambled to get everything together.” The end result of all that hard work, however, is a beautiful facility that will meet the needs of the school now and for the foreseeable future, as the building has room for expansion. “We built it so we can grow into it,” Leonard said. Duxbury Bay Maritime School has between 250-300 students on the bay every day during the summer. The school was founded about 12 years ago, and Leonard gave the original executive director, Ned Lawson, credit for having the vision that led to the creation of the new building. “He knew what he need-

ed,” Leonard said. “He was an integral part of the design.” The DBMS offices were housed in a dilapidated building that was torn down on Tuesday. The school has seven permanent part-time employees and three full-time workers. In the summer, they hire about 90 instructors, some of whom live in a dormitory building next to the new facility. “Our programs have expanded so much, we just needed more space,” said Herrick. Leonard said the school’ s focus was to create programs first and that the building space would follow. “It’s been a long time in the making,” he said.

Rug Hookers weave for Alden Kindred

T

he Duxbury Rug Hookers are completing their eighth rug for the benefit of the Alden Kindred. This year the rug is an image of the Alden House hearth. The rug will be on exhibit in the Alden House Gift Shop until the annual meeting in August, at which time the winning raffle ticket will be drawn. Raffle tickets are $5 a piece or three for $10 and may be bought at the gift shop. It is expected that the sale of raffle tickets over the past years (and including this year) will total over $10,000. The Alden House rug is a cooperative project of the Duxbury Rug Hookers. This year the project was headed up by Laurie Sybertz and the design of the hearth was drawn by Eloise Doyle. Ann Gustavson, one of the Duxbury Rug Hookers, is an Alden descendant and it was her idea to use the Alden Barn as a gathering place once a month for the rug hookers. In exchange, the women hook one rug a year for the Alden Kindred to raffle off at their annual meeting. The rugs are hooked of pure wool cloth – often old clothes or blankets – which is dyed as needed for colors in the rug, cut into strips and hooked into a linen foundation. The Duxbury Rug Hookers are: Arlene Anderson, Shelby Chapdelaine, Carol Chapman, Joyce Coulter, Dottie Collins, Eloise Doyle, Pauline Geishecker, Ann Gustavson, Anne Kelly, Beverly King, Carol Loring, Priscilla MacCallum, Eve Makowski, Maddie Merrifield, Anna O’Leary, Pam Pelletier, Jeanne Quinzani, Olga Rothschild, Chris Ryan, Laurie Sybertz, Lanci Valentine. The Duxbury Rug Hookers will make a formal presentation of the rug to the Alden Kindred on Tuesday, June 2, at noon at the Alden Barn. The public is invited to attend. For further information, call Olga Rothschild, 781-934-9565 or e-mail [email protected]

As part of the negotiations with Comcast, the town finalized its counter proposal in December, but it was not submitted to the cable company until March, said Kearney. The town has not heard back from Comcast yet, Kearney added. Selectmen Chairman Betsy Sullivan wondered if the town’s negotiations with Verizon would have an impact on the contract with Comcast. “Comcast seems to be dragging its feet to see what we do with Verizon,” she said. Town Manager Richard MacDonald agreed this could be the case, however he said the main negotiator for Comcast was laid off, so that could be a reason for the delay.

did you know my nana was a dancer

Efforts to bring Verizon’s fiber optic television, or FiOS, to Duxbury are moving forward. Selectmen approved the “issuing authority report,” prepared by their attorney to send to Verizon, at a meeting on Wednesday. This report outlines what Duxbury wants Verizon to provide as part of its contract. It is the last required step before negotiations can begin. Selectmen had questions about the section of the report regarding the damages Verizon must pay if it ever broke its contract with the town. Selectman Jon Witten, an attorney, felt the amounts were too low. “These are numbers that go back to the Stone Age,” he said at a meeting last week. The damages range from $50 a day to $200 a day depending upon the offenses, which include such things as a failure to comply with the requirements for local access programming, equipment and funding. Selectmen wanted to check with Bill Hewig, the lawyer handling their cable contract negotiations, to see if the damages could be increased.

“Let’s ask Bill why these numbers are so low,” said Witten. “I think we could exert a little more pressure here.” Acting cable television committee chairman Bill Kearney said it is usually very difficult to include breach of contract damages in cable TV contracts. Verizon has thirty days from the approval of the contract to respond and then the actual negotiations begin, said Kearney. A representative from Verizon approached selectmen in January and told them the telephone company wanted to bring FiOS television to Duxbury and would begin installing the fiber optic cable throughout the town this year. Some residents can already access the fiber optic network for their telephone and Internet connection but not for television. FiOS will compete with Duxbury’s cable company, Comcast, to provide television, phone and Internet service. Duxbury has been in negotiations with Comcast for a new cable contract for many years. The town has been without a cable contract since the one with Adelphia, its previous cable provider, expired in 2004.

Slain police officer honored

Members of the Duxbury Police Department accompanied the family of Duxbury Police Officer Mel Dyer to an annual ceremony held in Washington, D.C. to honor fallen officers. Dyer was struck by a motor vehicle while directing traffic at the Marshfield Fair, succumbing to his injuries on August 25 of last year. In 1962, President John F.

Kennedy declared May 15 Police Memorial, a day set aside to pay tribute to officers killed in the line of duty. The first ceremony was held 28 years ago with just over 100 people in attendance. This year’s event had about 25,000 people in attendance with United States Attorney General Eric H. Holder, Jr. as guest speaker. Singer Patti Labelle gave a

very moving vocal tribute. Mel Dyer’s wife, Bonnie, their son Michael and daughter Melissa took part in the ceremony and Duxbury Police Chief Mark DeLuca had the honor of escorting the family during the services. Mel’s name has been added to the wall at the Police Memorial.

Tough words for financial leaders

W

By David Cutler

arren Buffet, the billionaire from Omaha, Nebraska,, once said if you take the high road on Wall Street you won’t run into much traffic. That is a sentiment one would suspect that Doug Friesen, the architect from Duxbury, would share even though Buffett’s exact words don’t show up in the pages of his (Friesen’s) new book, “The Age of Entitlement.” Being an architect, if not a terribly busy one in our existing economic climes, Mr. Friesen does not proclaim himself to be a financial wizard. But architect or no, he can write with considerable skill and in this, his first book, he offers up an engaging explanation of how we fell into a financial abyss and what we must do to climb out. We hear the financial terms – subprime, derivatives, credit deReview fault swaps – bandied about all the time these days, but most of us don’t really know what they mean. Friesen explains them in clear, concise language. In fact he scores well in schooling us on the basics of finance and does particularly well in telling us what the Federal Reserve Bank is and why we should worry about it: Too much power vested in too few people who seem accountable to no one. “Shrouded in mystery,” is how the author puts it. Mr. Friesen has few kind words for Alan Greenspan, or for government deregulators, the “Trickle Down” theory, Wall Street leaders – most couldn’t run a lemonade stand – or the big banks and the moves to bail them out while our own 401Ks crash. “Too big to fail,” he suggests, “means too big to exist.” And bankers, he warns, have a stranglehold on both political parties and on all branches of government. And at the core of our financial meltdown, he says, “was a massive collective failure of morality.” “The Age of Entitlement” also worries about the future – our unfunded liabilities of Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid (all crises waiting to happen), our behemoth national debt, our ever increasing credit card debt and commercial retail debt, our imbalance of trade, our crumbling infrastructure and the widening gap between the rest of us and those relatively few at the top of the income pile. Yet despite the subject matter, this isn’t a book of simple doom and gloom. The problems and their solutions are serious to be sure. But they are presented in an engaging, lucid way by someone who knows how to turn a phrase. Doug Friesen writes with clarity and style. His first effort is worth a read. Pick it up at Westwinds or Amazon.com.

Spring is finally here, so planning by the Interfaith Council for it’s Kid’s Campership program is now underway! This program helps Duxbury school children with limited financial resources participate in a summer camp experience. Since many of the families we serve are single-parent households, summer camp can often be as important for the parents as it is for the children. The Campership program depends entirely on the generosity of donors from the Duxbury community. This

year more than ever, we need your help! Our goal is to raise $20,000. The deadline has passed and we are $10,000 short. If we can raise another $10,000 we will be able to send approximately 40 children to camp. If not, only 20 children will be able to attend. We do realize we are on hard economic times but some are worse off then others. Any size donation will help our cause. In addition, we plan to help children of Duxbury families in need as they start their 2009/10 school year.

School handbooks approved By Justin Graeber, Clipper Editor [email protected]

The middle school and high school handbooks were approved by the School Committee on Wednesday, with only minor changes to last year’s versions. The School Committee also approved the DMS and DHS school council plans, as well as the althetic handbook for players and coaches at Wednesday night’s meeting. High School Principal Andrew Stephens said his school council is looking to tackle plagiarism and cheating next year, something he said has become more of an issue of late. He said the high school leadership would also take a look at the building’s tardy and chemical health policies. When outlining his goals,

Stephens said many of the stated initiatives were “in progress,” and School Committee member John Heinstadt asked that any future plans include more clearly defined goals. “Pick something you can measure,” Heinstadt said. “If you look at things without specificity, you can’t prove it to me.” Other committee members encouraged more abstract goals. “We have all kinds of quantitive numbers with test scores, and absentee numbers and trips to the nurse,” said School Committee member Anne Ward. “I don’t think you have to re-create the wheel.” Heinstadt also asked DMS Principal Blake Dalton if he would consider toughening language about students wear-

ing inappropriate clothing in school, but other School Committee members said they were concerned about stifling freedom of expression. Athletic Director Thom Holdgate also presented his department’s handbook to the committee on Wednesday, with few changes or alterations. Holdgate said the athletic department is working with a concussion management service based in Pittsburgh. He said the school does not use the test to force students to adhere to any particular course of action, but simply buys the test and lets the parents decide what to do next. He said 75-80 percent of the students in impact sports have had the test done, mostly the school’s younger athletes.

Unions criticize manager continued from page one

Police Department is running smoothly under Chief DeLuca’s leadership ... we are honored to serve the citizens of Duxbury but are concerned for its welfare in light of the Town Manager’s inappropriate actions.” The dispatchers’ letter, signed by William Thomas and John Cannizzo, echoes the support for the chief. “It should be noted that Mr. MacDonald’s attempts to undermine our Chief have and will continue to be futile,” the letter reads. Both letters level similar charges against MacDonald, including that he failed to negotiate in good faith, failed to support the chief of police, and that he enforces “selective discipline.” As an example of this, both letters reference the fact that Recreation Director Gordon Cushing was not disciplined

after he was charged with several firearms violations. A felony weapons charge against Cushing was dropped, but he admitted to seven misdemeanor counts of improper storage of a firearm. The unions claim that on the other hand, Robert Crowley, a DPW worker accused of driving drunk, was fired by MacDonald before he was even charged. “It is very clear that if you are one of Mr. MacDonald’s ‘friends’ the rules of discipline are different,” wrote the dispatchers’ union. Chubb, who is the press information officer for the Duxbury Police Department, said on Jan. 20 that Crowley had been sent a citation for charges of operating under the influence, leaving the scene of an accident with property damage, negligent operation of a motor vehicle and marked lanes violations. On Tuesday, a clerk at Plymouth District Court said the Crowley was not in their system. Crowley, who lives in

Sandwich, was driving a townowned DPW vehicle back to Duxbury when he struck another driver. He was placed on unpaid leave pending an investigation after the accident, according to MacDonald, and was terminated by the town on Feb. 3, according to the town’s personnel administrator. The commanders’ letter also states that MacDonald’s failure to negotiate in good faith resulted in the creation of two new unions earlier this year. “The Town Manager’s lack of fair and equitable treatment has pushed employees to unionize to protect their interests, which has resulted in substantial attorney and contract costs to the town,” the letter states. Both letters allege that after the creation of the unions, several non-union employees were given double-digit raises. “This selective budgetary manipulation during a financial crisis is evident and insulting,” wrote the dispatcher’s union in their letter. The letter also references a September 2008 incident alleging MacDonald “verbally abused” a female worker. According to a filing at the Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination, DPW Office Manager Christine Smythe filed a complaint on April 1 alleging she had been discriminated against because of her gender. The complaint names the Town of Duxbury and not MacDonald. However, Smythe alleges in her complaint that MacDonald came into her office on Sept. 11, 2008, and yelled at her after he discovered a letter Smythe, along with several other DPW managers, had signed expressing a lack of confidence in DPW Director Peter Buttkus.

Jonas Bulman poses with one of his family’s three pet alpacas. Jonas’s mother, Maura, said she has always loved the animals.

Pack of alpacas in Duxbury Julia Swem, Clipper Intern

There’s a new animal in town. Recently three alpacas moved into their new home with the Bulman family on Depot Street. They arrived at the Bulman’s around Mother’s Day and are adjusting well, according to the family. The alpacas have certainly been noticed around town because they’re not the typical Duxbury yellow lab. But, like labs, they make great pets. Maura Bulman has loved alpacas since she was a little girl and finally decided to try her luck with them. Everything is running smoothly so far. “They’re not much more care than a dog. They just need fresh water every day and their hay needs to be checked and changed every couple of days,” Weymouth Bank - Concept Ad 3 col. x 7 (5.9” X 7”) - Duxbury Clipper Bulman May 2009 said. Even scooping their poop is easy. They all go in the same area and it makes

Banks Too Big To Fail? Good For The Customer? Don’t Bank On It. Is having nearly 70%* of all bank deposits in our nation controlled by a few large financial institutions really good for our nation’s economy – or security? Given what we know now, how many Americans think that the creation of “too-big-to-fail” mega banks is good for anyone other than fat cats on Wall Street? For those of you who have been “merged” into banking with an institution that doesn’t know you and takes you for granted, consider coming home to a local bank that cares about the same things you care about.

The Bulmans say the Alpacas are friendly and make great pets.

wonderful compost which is a very valuable and organic resource. Bulman has three children, Jason and Ave and a foster child named Jaquarre. Amazingly, the alpacas are wonderful with children because they are very sweet and curious, Bulman said. But, most importantly, alpacas actually prefer children because they are very timid by nature and feel less threatened by them. “They love anything at dog level.” Jason said. All together the Bulmans have three alpacas, one for each of their children. Although they don’t have official names yet, they are well on their way to becoming part of the family. They are trying to make the alpacas more comfortable and social by letting the kids hand feed them. This way the alpacas will learn to trust people a little more. Jason may also participate in a 4-H club and is currently in the early stages of halter training them. The Bulmans have also set up an appropriate environment for them. They have fenced in an area of their front yard that

includes trees for shade as well as a little handmade hut for them if they want to get out of the rain or extreme heat. Many people in town are a little nervous with the alpacas so close to a busy street like Depot Street. Maura Bulman doesn’t seem to be worried because alpacas are not likely to challenge a fence. They are herding animals that are timid and love to stay in one place. The fence was created more to keep other threats out because alpacas usually are kept without any fencing at all. “I’m more worried about having my children close to Depot Street.” Maura said. Overall, the alpacas are a nice addition to the town. They’re friendly and make great pets. They are also not like llamas that can be very nasty, kicking and spitting. The Alpacas have this ability but will only use it if they feel extremely threatened. The Bulmans encourage people to stop and say hello to the Alpacas because it will make them more social and trusting.

uxbury’s Memorial Day activities are always a highlight of the summer. The parade and memorial service at First Parish Church are the perfect combination of celebration and solemnity. This town has a great respect for those who have served their country in the various branches of the Armed Services, and that respect was on display Monday. The graveside services that bookmark the parade were poignant as always –– the silent gesture of placing a wreath on the veterans’ monument in Mayflower Cemetery is the perfect way to close out the day. The guest speaker for the memorial service at First Parish, Lt. Col. Robert Ali, was inspiring in his patriotism and devotion to his country. Amid the pomp of the parade, many revelers may have noticed the wooden structure in front of town hall. This is a mock up of what a restored World War I monument will look like. The monument was knocked down in an accident years ago and only recently discovered, and interested citizens have led a drive to restore it. Although the group obtained some money from the Community Preservation Act, they still have to privately fundraise over $35,000 to finish the restoration process. They originally asked the Community Preservation Committee for the full amount of the restoration costs, but were told they needed to do some private fundraising to cover at least part of the reconstruction costs. To the Memorial Committee’s credit, they regrouped and have taken to their new charge of fundraising as vociferously as they pursued the monument’s restoration. These dedicated men and women are fully committed to honoring the only group of veterans who don’t already have a monument in Duxbury. The group is hopeful to have the new memorial finished in time for Veterans’ Day. The monument will list the names of all the Duxbury residents who served during what’s often called “The Great War.” The memorial committee is selling memorial bricks for $200. Checks can be made out to the Duxbury War Memorial Fund, PO Box 2775, Duxbury MA 02331.

School should restore Russian classes ———

I

realize that planning and organizing, scheduling classes, teachers, and the logistics of getting all the students into their classes is extremely challenging. I also realize that to run classes, certain criteria must be met that are above and beyond just class size. But I believe guidance and the administration should reconsider canceling the Russian Language class in the 2009-2010 school year. If nothing else our current economic situation has taught us that we live in a global world, and we cannot afford to be ethnocentric. One just has to notice the programs, fully-funded by the state department to Russia, among other countries, encouraging true international study, to realize how close the rest of the world has become. And this global education can start

in the high school classroom. It must start in the high school classroom. While the traditional language programs are thriving, some of the best schools are looking beyond the “reading, writing and arithmetic” of French, Spanish, and Latin to Mandarin, Russian, and Arabic. Duxbury High School has the in-house talent and expertise of a fluent Russian speaker, Mr. Hilton. It is a shame to see the opportunity go to waste because the program has been slow in starting. Meeting the minimum criteria for enrollment, there should be no reason this opportunity has to go to waste again. The program must start from somewhere, only with the administration’s backing can it hope to ever grow and be successful. As a Russian II indepen-

dent study student I am the only student currently taking Russian this year. And I personally don’t want to see this program die out. Please do not let budget constraints and scheduling snafus get in the way of promoting an international education. It makes a difference. In just two short years of exposure, Russian went from a mess of symbols muttered incoherently to a language for me. Recently I was challenged to switch the news page of the internet from English to Russian and I shocked myself. It had seemed so much like book learning but there it was in the headlines and I could say it, I could read it, I could understand it. May we all have that chance. Catherine Pattinson Rogers Way

use with the clothes washers; eliminate all lawns and shrubs which might demand water during their growing season (gravel lawns?); withdraw all invitations for summer visitors because they use extra water; install outhouses which don’t use any water and disconnect toilets (winter visits might be shorter and the Sears Catalog may become more popular. Title V may be an issue here.); shower once a week; visit friends in other towns more frequently. I’m sure that your readers could come up with a variety of more effective ideas, and I would urge them to take up the challenge. More importantly, if we are effective in promulgating policies which reduce our usage down to the 65 gallons per day level, it will result in saved water relatively equivalent to a one quarter inch of rainfall

or less. There is a lot of water falling on Duxbury averaging some 58” per year, and our excess usage is a very tiny piece of that. In the end, the environmental good of reducing water usage to this degree is unmeasurable, and will be unseen. At this rate, soon we will be like Bermuda capturing water from our roofs, and using it for our purposes. If we need to reduce state expenditures some more, I know of a good place to start... One Winter Street, the home of these regulators. Monday evening, June 1, the Selectmen will be considered this water ban. Come and comment. If you can’t come, watch us discuss this issue on cable TV, and write letters to whomever you wish. George D. Wadsworth Elm Street

Water restrictions are ‘politically correct’ —

I

have read with some interest a letter to the editor from Philip Thorn regarding water restrictions being considered by the Board of Selectmen acting as a Board of Water Commissioners. These restrictions being considered are an example of political correctness without appropriate science backing them. For example, if I were to prefer watering at 3 p.m., but was required to water after 4 p.m., I would shift my watering schedule resulting in no change in overall water withdrawals. To get the 65 gallons per day per person, we need to either add a lot of people (start working on that, prospective mothers!), change the number of days in a year (declare a new calendar?), or virtually eliminate excess summer usage. Here are some ideas: shower with your clothes on thereby eliminating water

Art in nature at the ACM

Nature in highly simplified landscapes is the focus of Kingston artist, Carole Bolsey, in her upcoming exhibit, “Unbridled” in the On Their Own series, at The Art Complex Museum in Duxbury. In her exhibition which opens

on May 31 and runs through August 16, Bolsey interprets her subject through abstracted qualities of light, space, gesture and scale. An opening reception is scheduled for June 14, 1:30 – 4:30 p.m.

he elementary students at Bay Farm Montessori Academy had the opportunity to hear children’s author Beatrice Gormley talk about her experience creating books for publication. Visiting Bay Farm on Monday, Gormley shared her ventures in writing, explaining what inspires her and what the day in the life of a writer is like. She offered insight into the research that goes into writing both fiction and non-fiction, and she showed the children a copy of a book draft that was reviewed by an editor, including pages and pages of comments and suggestions. Well-known for writing biographies, Gormley’s most recent book is

“Barack Obama Our 44th President.” She has also written biographies on Malcolm X, Marie Curie, Louisa May Alcott, and others. Interestingly, Gormley’s first-published book, “MailOrder Wings,” was written when she lived in Duxbury.

Junior gardeners plant at library

T

he May meeting of the Community Garden Club of Duxbury’s Junior Garden Club was both educational and whimsical. The girls placed a “fairy chair” in their garden behind the Duxbury Free Library, and surrounded it with their morning glory  plants, which were grown from seed. As the spring and summer progress, these morning glories will wind their way around the chair for a beautiful focal point  in the garden. Additionally, members created their own herb garden consisting of basil, thyme, oregano and sage to bring home for their kitchen windows. These herbs will be perfect complements for summer salads and recipes. Also, all the junior gardeners will be

Local woman to have drug charge dropped if she pays $100 A Duxbury woman arrested last August in a drug raid at a Pembroke home will have a Class B drug possession dropped if she pays court costs of $100. Brittany S. Green, 22, of Church Street, Duxbury was arrested on Aug. 15, 2008 just outside a home on Old Washington Street after a police task force investigating drug sales in the area executed a warrant to search the home, which belonged to Dennis and Mary Ann Bailey. When police arrived, Green ran out the back of the

house into the woods, where she later was found, according to police reports. A wallet with her name was found on the counter inside and a bindle of suspected crack cocaine was found inside the wallet, according to reports. Green was arrested and charged with Class B drug possession and conspiracy to violate the drug law. On May 7, a Plymouth District Court judge agreed to dismiss the possession charge if Green agreed to pay $100 court costs. The second charge also was dismissed.

of the first when sophomore Phil Sciretta reached second on an error, but was picked off to end the inning. After that, Flynn retired eight batters in a row until Sciretta walked in the bottom of the fourth and was stranded. The Eagles would get an insurance run in the top of the sixth when they manufactured a run on a single, a walk, a sacrifice, and a sacrifice fly to the outfield to make it 2-0. Duxbury was waving at Flynn all night long, as the Dragons could not catch up to his 88-90 mph fastball. Opening the sixth with consecutive strikeouts made it six straight

for the right-hander until Sean Cross grounded out to break his streak and end the inning. Blout began to tire in the top of the seventh, as he walked the first batter who promptly stole second when the throw was dropped. The next batter followed with a bunt, and he also took off for second base putting men at second and third with no one out. Dan Fratus stepped to the plate and crushed a double to right field that brought home both base runners, ending any hopes for a Duxbury comeback. The loss leaves Duxbury with a 14-6 record, as they get

ready for this week’s Division II South Sectional play-offs that get underway on Thursday. “I think we’re ready,” said Coach Barney Earle. “We wanted to play well this week and we did. We accomplished a lot. We had a great game against Hingham, hit the ball well against Marshfield, and then ran into a buzz saw with Flynn. There are a bunch of teams right around us with five or six losses, so I’m not quite sure where we will be seeded, but I hope we get a home game to start off.”

ometimes being on top of things, on schedule, means you have to be ahead of the game. Once in a while, it means being way ahead of time. This time, for me, it means writing about a weekend that hasn’t happened yet. It’s just part of a culture vulture’s job, but once in a while a holiday comes along and the deadline creeps forward from Monday morning to the previous Thursday night. The biggest splash for this weekend (now past as you read this) is the Duxbury Bay Maritime School’s

WHAT’S GOING ON HERE?

Opening of the Bay. I’ll write about it, including the splendid Tall Ship Alabama, and I’ll leave it to you to guess whether or not I made anything up from whole cloth.

While the Eagles (12-8) are nowhere near their perfect (28-0) record of 2008, they still possess right-handed pitching phenom Joe Flynn, who continues to be one of the best pitchers in Massachusetts, if not in all New England. The Dragons faced the fireballer for the second time this year in non-league action, and this time he was even better than in the opener, as he threw a no-hitter against Duxbury and struck out 14 Dragons to earn the win. Fortunately for Duxbury, junior pitcher Jeff Blout was also on top of his game, as he allowed just one run through five innings, the winner coming in the second when Phil Cash hit a two-out double to bring home Matt Walsh, who had singled and stole second. Duxbury had few chances to score on Flynn, with one of their best coming in the bottom

Now here’s where the story gets tricky. Remember, as I write on Thursday night, none of this has happened. I don’t know, dear reader, if the Alabama showed up at all. I wish everyone well, of course, and I have profound respect for Harbormaster Don Beers’ piloting skills, even without a diesel engine to back him up. But none of it has happened. Your guess is as good as mine how it all turns out, except that you, dear reader, don’t have to guess. You already know. I’m at a complete disadvantage

‘The Season’ opens on the bay continued from page one

with nearly a week between my writing and your reading, so I’ll do what I can to solve my desperation: I’ll make a few things up. It’s too easy to call it “Barnacle’s Bottom Scrape,” so I’ll just call it “Barrett’s Bilge Water: Grounded in the Truth.” I’ll make up the stories. You pick the ones closest to the truth. Duxbury’s season started off with a flourish with last week’s Junior/Senior Prom. The Clipper ran a giant spread, thanks to Deni Johnson’s photos. You’ll have to hack your children’s Facebook pages to see pictures from inside the dance. But Duxbury’s “Season” isn’t all pomp, glitter and dancing. The Duxbury Bay Maritime School’s Opening of the Bay festivities fall on Memorial Day Weekend as well. This year the topsail schooner Alabama serves as the centerpiece of the festivities. Harbormaster Don Beers showed his usual calm intensity as he nursed the big schooner toward her berth at the town pier, only to be interrupted by a huge – and apparently highly trained – flock of seagulls. Unlike our all-natural local gulls, these bad boys refused all offers of French fries, goldfish crackers or burger buns, and went straight to their apparent assignments in the Alabama’s rigging, grasping beak-holds in the ship’s baggywrinkle to pull her toward her dock. Baggywrinkle is the nautical term for soft cloth wrapped around rigging, especially chafing points, to protect nearby sails. Shenandoah’s skipper and crew offered only occasional hand signals and chirps to the hard-working gulls, and generally watched quietly from beneath their distinctively mottled umbrellas. When extra thrust was needed, several crew members were seen barking orders over the side, toward the water. In the general hubbub of gull cries and fluttering wings, their obvious orders were unintelligible, truly sounding like the barks of a dog or seal. Only when the ship was safely secured, and the gulls had scudded away toward the eastsoutheast could the barking be deciphered as actual barking directed at the similarly trained squad of harbor seals at the ship’s waterline. “We used to just clunk to a stop wherever we were expected,” explained one deck hand. “Then we’d build a pier for the locals to use to get aboard. The seals are way cheaper than carpenters, and we save a bundle on permits. Oops. Mind your step. It’s a little deep around here after the gulls, but you look like a man who’s used to a lot of, well, fertilizer. Ever throw some? We could use a hand.”

Dragons stage comeback against Needham in tourney prep By Mike Halloran Sports Editor [email protected]

Here is a piece of advice for AD Thom Holdgate. Never schedule athletic events on the first two schools days after the prom. It gives coaches an easy out when things aren’t going well. boys’ lacrosse

With a wry smile on his face, DHS lacrosse Coach Chris Sweet echoed that reason for his team’s lackluster first period performance last Tuesday afternoon in Duxbury, where the Dragons battled back from a 4-2 deficit to run away with an 18-10 win over Needham. Coming into the game as the #13 ranked team in MA, Needham was expected to give the Dragons a run for their money. With plenty of size up front, the Rockets grabbed the lead at the 3:39 mark when Will Stenberg followed a Cam Bumpus goal to give the visitors a 2-1 lead. Quinn Cully would score his second of the quarter less

from senior captain Jake Harvey, Haffey, and freshman Sam Sweet. Duxbury ended its regular season schedule on Thursday night when it traveled to Harvard Stadium to take on Bishop Guertin of Nashua, NH, winning 7-4. The Dragons jumped out to a 4-0 lead and apparently lost interest, as BG battled back to make it a game at halftime trailing 4-2. Duxbury unloaded 34 shots on net with many of them hitting the posts. “We had plenty of chances,” said Sweet. “It just became kind of a sloppy game in the second half.” Cully led the Dragons with three goals in the win. “We’re still tweaking things,” said Coach Chris Sweet. “But at times in that Needham game we did show signs of where we want to be.

Girls’ lax starts playoffs at home on Wednesday

By Mike Halloran Sports Editor [email protected]

They say defense wins championships, but in this case DHS girls’ lacrosse Coach Sue Paull is pretty sure it’s her offense that will carry the Lady Dragons to the promised land. girls’ lacrosse

“Three of our players were just named to the Eastern Mass. All-Star team,” said Paull. “Katie Griffin and Meg Muncey made the second team and Caitlin Burke got Honor-

able Mention. When you have three players like that up front who can score, you have to rely on them to get the job done.” The Lady Dragons enter post-season play averaging 15.5 goals per game, while allowing 6.4 gpg. While it’s hard to think anyone could make up such a difference, a closer look reveals Duxbury has surrendered just over 12 goals per game against quality opponents: a figure Paull knows needs to be reduced in the play-offs. “The most important things we need to do are win the draws and tighten up our defense. We also need to tighten up our midfield defense too,” said a somewhat concerned Paull. Having beaten Notre

BLANKET COVERAGE: Caitlin Burke has her opponent smothered.

Dame, 15-11, to start the week, the team returned home on Thursday to entertain Sandwich in their final regular season game of the year.

The team looked somewhat lethargic in the first 12 minutes of the half, as Sandwich forged a 4-3 lead on a pair of goals from Elise Kindria. Having

beaten the Blue Knights by an 18-4 score earlier in the season sent a message that even being close wasn’t acceptable From that point on the “Goal-den Girls” took over, as Burke (5), Griffin (3), and Muncey (2) staked Duxbury to an 11-5 halftime lead. Mimi Smith opened the second half with a rocket into the top left corner for a 12-5 lead, opening the floodgates for what became a Duxbury/ Kindria match-up in the second half with the Lady Dragons outscoring the Sandwich star, 7-3. Burke led all scorers with six goals, while Griffin (5) and Muncey (4) were right behind. Alexis Matthews, Smith, and Ali Violandi also got on the scoreboard.

The Lady Dragons haven’t fared well against the Rams in recent years, but other then Michaela Dowd’s 2-6/3-6 loss to Leah Kelly, it was a day in the park for Duxbury. Liza Thomas  was able to handle Emily Henrekeen  at #2 singles with a 6-2/6-3 win,

while Annie Gluskin  went three sets with Lydia White, battling back from a first-set loss before taking a 4-6/6-2 /6-2 win at #3 singles. Senior captain Jane Morgan and junior Cory Tucker  continued their dominating play with a 6-1/6-3 win over Taylor Koeleck and Ashley Fidler at #1 doubles, while Julia Allen and Charlotte Weil   knocked off Olivia White and Julianne Selligan, 6-2/6-4, at #2 doubles. The team will now get ready for the South Sectional Tournament that begins on Friday, with the pairings being announced on Wednesday at the MIAA headquarters in Franklin.
