Outrage over Sweet move Players and parents rally to save DHS lacrosse coach’s job By Dave Palana, Clipper Staff [email protected]
Duxbury lacrosse players battled for Chris Sweet on the field, winning six state titles in a row –– now they’re fighting to help their coach keep his job. Sweet supporters have started a petition drive asking school officials to reconsider their decision not to renew the coach’s contract after 14 years on the job. Teammates like midfielder John Ricciardi hope to meet personally with Superintendent Sue Skeiber to voice their support for Sweet. “I’m really disappointed and I don’t see why [the school administration] did this,” Ricciardi said. “I thought he was a great coach and helped me out a lot.”
Starting defenseman JB Marston acknowledged that Sweet’s style could rub some people the wrong way, but said losing him as coach would be a mistake by the school. “On and off the field, he helped you be a good guy and a good player. I’m definitely going to fight for him and help to get him back,” he said. Jane Bradley, whose son played lacrosse, started an online petition to keep Sweet at DHS. Bradley sent copies of the petition, which now has over 200 signatures at ipetitions.com, to Skeiber’s office and to the School Committee in hopes they will reconsider the decision to let him go. “I don’t have a political stake in this, I just know he is
SERMON ON THE ROCK: The Rev. Todd Vetter of Pilgrim Church gives a sermon in front of “Pulpit Rock” during the Duxbury Rural and Historical Society’s annual sojourn to Clark’s Island in Duxbury Bay. The island is where a small group of Pilgrims from the Mayflower first made landfall in the New World, and held the first religious services in America under this giant boulder, which many consider to be the “real” Plymouth Rock.

beach neighbors By Colleen Moore Clipper Intern
After much discussion from neighbors, a conditional permit was approved for the reconstruction of a house on Duxbury Beach last week. Members of the Gurnet neighborhood filled the ZBA meeting on Thursday night to voice their concerns about the reconstruction of a house at
21 Hummock Lane, near the Marshfield side of the beach. The Federici’s, owners of 21 Hummock Lane, are planning a second floor addition to their current one story summer cottage. The current house is just under 18 feet tall and will be 11 feet higher with the second floor. continued on page 21

For the second season of the Southeast Alumni Symphony Orchestra, manager Dan Kostreva knew he wanted to do something for the memory of the student who encouraged him to start the group.

Although Fortini couldn’t participate in the orchestra’s inaugural season in 2008 due to a summer job, his enthusiasm and encouragement continued on page 14

The Alden House Historic Site and the adjacent “1627 First Site” are now officially recognized as a National Historic Landmark, reflecting the deep significance in American culture of the heritage of John and Priscilla (Mullins) Alden, the archaeological importance of their ancestral home site, and the influence of their inspiring story through Longfellow’s beloved saga, The Courtship of Miles Standish.

DEF news
DEF Spring Grant: There are textbooks in every school. There are computers in every school. But rarely do the two connect at the elementary level. Now, the two will merge at Alden Elementary beginning this fall, thanks to a grant recently funded by The Duxbury Education Foundation. It’s a new, interactive teaching approach that integrates technology into daily learning and curriculum called Easiteach software. A dynamic “Mimio” system provides the software, projector, graphic tablet and white board converter that allow teachers to access a world of information based on or related to the curriculum. It could be a story out of a Scott Foresman English Language Arts book that comes to life; or a math geometry problem that the students can now visualize. The technology allows teachers to tap into a network file that accesses real time information (such as Google Earth) or modules in math and English that make students active participants in the learning. Similar to a “Smart board,” the “Mimio” system allows any traditional white board to become interactive and allows teachers to create their own lessons or use lessons already developed. The technology will be mounted in the team rooms on each floor. Beyond interactive websites appropriate for third through fifth graders, Easiteach will also access textbook material and make it “live.” For harder to understand lessons, animation can also be integrated - a proven technique for introducing new concepts. Assistant Principal Karen Fruzzetti is most enthusiastic about the grant. “This system is fabulous. It will bring curriculum to life for our elementary students and create wonderful synergy between our computers and textbooks. The possibilities are endless. We are very excited.” Students will be able to access lessons to review on classroom and computer labs. Teachers will be able to create their own interactive lessons and environment, and then share them with other faculty through a shared system that can be accessed by all teachers in the district and beyond. “We’re grateful to DEF for awarding us this grant,” said Christopher Trombly, Alden School principal. “We’re on an aggressive schedule to train our grade three teachers on this program in our Aug. professional development program.”

Hope is blooming in Duxbury Non-profit spreads comfort through gardens By Justin Graeber, Clipper Editor [email protected]
Sometimes a flower can be more than just a pretty thing in someone’s garden. Sometimes a flower can give people hope. That was the idea behind Hope In Bloom Inc., created by Dedham resident Roberta Hershon after a friend lost her battle with breast cancer. “We both liked to garden,” Hershon said, pausing from installing a garden for Bayridge Lane resident Patti Armstrong on Thursday morning. “When she got sick ... bringing her flowers, working in the garden, really made a huge difference in her outlook.” When her friend died in 2005, Hershon knew she

What is the best way to prevent stains in my pool and also remove existing stains?
ANSWER: First of all, have the water professionally analyzed. (We do this at nocharge). If metals are present, use a metal remover in the pool. If stains already exist, there are chemicals available that cover a wide-range of stains and can be used for "spot treatment."

wanted to bring the love of gardening they both shared with others. “When she passed away, I thought this was the best way to honor her memory,” Hershon said. The first garden was dedicated in 2007. Since then, Hope in Bloom volunteers have planted 65 gardens. They’ve done 10 this year so far, and plan to build about 10 more. Patti Armstrong of Bayridge Lane was diagnosed with breast cancer about two years ago. She underwent months of chemo and radiation treatment, and is recovering. Her sister saw a newspaper article about Hope in Bloom, and Armstrong called about getting help with her garden. A representative from the Duxbury Garden Club came
to help with the design, and Thursday a team of volunteers descended on her home to relandscape the area in front of her garage. “It’s wonderful,” Armstrong said. “I can look out my window and see the flowers.” Hershon said gardening has been proven to have health benefits, relieving stress and raising serotonin levels. She feels that cancer treatments can be more effective when the person is in good spirits. “If you’re in a positive frame of mind ... it can only help,” she said. “[In a garden] you can just be there and decompress.” Interested residents can donate to Hope in Bloom or sign up as a local volunteer via the group’s Web site, www.hopeinbloom.org.

Outrage over Sweet move
wrence
While Duxbury Superintendent of Schools Susan Skeiber has not commented publicly on the reasons for the decision not to renew Sweet’s contract, one of the rumors circulating in town is that Sweet’s decision not to promote three seniors to the varsity team while adding eight freshmen, including his son, was a contributing factor. Sweet stood by his roster moves this week, saying all his cuts were based strictly on the performances at tryouts. “Whoever made varsity made it on merit, period,” he said. “I take personnel decisions very seriously, but you can’t please everyone. I have to place 90 kids on three different teams and I think [assistant coach Tony Fisher] and I do a pretty good job.” Sweet also denied the rumor that his involvement with the Under Armour All-America game showed any player favoritism on his part. Sweet was chosen to coach the North team in the non-sanctioned all-star game, where Hakeem Lecky was Duxbury’s lone representative and captains Quinn Cully, Kyle Gavoni and Jake Harvey were left off the roster. Sweet said he had no control over the roster for the game and that writers at Inside Lacrosse Magazine made most of the selections. “I had zero input on who made that team,” he said. “I was picked to coach and that was it.” –– D. Palana

to comment on Sweet’s status. An attorney handling the matter for the school district, Michelle McNulty of Murphy, Lamere and Murphy P.C. in Braintree, was out of the office last week and calls to another attorney at the firm were not returned as of press time. Sweet said he has not been able to meet with Skeiber since her return. He said the superintendent has never met him face to face. “I think it would be fair for her to get to know me,” he said. Sweet said he has hired his own counsel, Wayne Dennison of Brown Rudnick LLP in Boston. He said that the district cut off all communication to himself and the assistant coach about a month and a half ago. However, he said his goal is not litigation –– merely to get his job back. “The only reason I hired a lawyer is because the school involved theirs,” Sweet said. “I’m not looking to sue anyone.” Skeiber informed the School Committee that Sweet’s contract would not be renewed for next season at their July 8 meeting, in executive session. Sweet, who has coached for 14 years at DHS, led the Dragons to seven of the last eight Division I state championships. His contract is on a year-toyear basis. Sweet said he still hasn’t received official word from the administration as to why his contract wasn’t renewed, although he did address some persistent rumors about his departure (see sidebar). He confirmed that he has already received offers to coach elsewhere, but reiterated his desire to remain at the high school. “I still very much want to coach in Duxbury,” he said. “That is where my heart is.” Read more reaction to Sweet’s contract situation on page 18.

A photograph from 1922 of the original Duxbury World War I memorial recently surfaced, giving the War Memorial Committee an extra push to restore the monument by March 2010. The photograph was found in an old album purchased by Bob Dente, a local history buff. The pages are ordered by date, and although this photograph did not have a date on it, it was between the 1921 and 1923 pages, making this photo likely from 1922, Joe Shea Chairman of the War Memorial Committee said. Before this photograph surfaced, the only photographs of the original monument were from 1943. In these later pictures, a decorative piece on the side of the monument had fallen off. The original photograph allows the committee to see what was there before and to more accurately replicate

A picture from 1922 of the original Duxbury World War I memorial was found last week. The War Memorial Committee is working to identify the woman in the picture.
the monument, Shea said. The picture has a young woman in it, however there is no mention of who the woman is. The War Memorial Committee hopes to identify the woman, Shea said. In early July, pieces of the original monument were taken by a company in Quincy to be cleaned and measured. Some pieces will travel as far as Indiana to be cut in a factory there. The first memorial was moved around town before settling in Boomer Square, between Tremont Street and Depot Street. However, after several moves, the memorial was damaged and eventually taken down, Shea said. Also, having the monument in Boomer Square blocked the view for drivers, which is another reason it might have been taken down. Once the memorial was damaged, the stones came apart. The stones were then placed in the back of the 58924 Beverly Johnson, a cemetery, Cemetery Trustee and memberDuxbury of the committee said. The stones stayed in the cemetery 3 x 9” for several decades before anyone really took notice. “[The stones] came up a few times, and there was talk of maybe doing something,
but it was always put on the back burner,” Johnson said. It wasn’t until Shea had heard about the stones that any action took place. The old stones will be incorporated in the new memorial. The memorial will feature a tall, flat cement structure in the center, which will be engraved with the names of Duxbury residents who were involved in the war. The monument will have a brick walkway leading towards it. The monument will also be handicapped accessible and will have benches for viewing. Construction may begin as early as this summer or fall, when the underground base of the memorial will be installed. This cement structure will settle over the winter, before the rest of the memorial is installed early next spring, Shea said. The War Memorial Committee is now focusing on completing fundraising for the memorial. The bricks to surround the memorial are for sale through the War Memorial Committee, and may be personalized with the name of the donor. “We’re committed to the restoration of what was,” Shea said.

Concert dedicated to Fortini continued from page one
pushed Kostreva, an Elm Street resident and classically trained string bass player, to go ahead with the project. Paul Fortini never got a chance to play the trumpet in the orchestra he helped inspire. His life was cut short when he was struck by a car in New York City last September. Over the winter, Kostreva approached Fortini’s parents, Ken and Kathy, and the Paul S. Fortini Foundation about dedicating this summer’s concert to Paul. Ken Fortini said he is happy to have the fledgling foundation co-sponsor the concert. “I think it’s really nice for the foundation to be identified with a summer organization of young people,” Fortini said. “In Paul’s short life, he touched a lot of people.” Fortini and his wife started the foundation after their son’s death to carry on his memory by helping supplement the Duxbury High School music and drama departments. “That really was what Paul loved the most,” he said. In addition to the concert, the foundation will also sponsor an a cappella night in March. Fortini also hopes to make a major announcement about the foundation’s goals on Nov. 5, which will coincide with the high school performing a piece commissioned in his son’s memory. The DHS orchestra recently drew the attention of up-ancoming film composer Rossano Galante by performing his music, which is intended for college level players. Galante was happy to accept a commission from the DHS music department to write a piece in memory of Paul Fortini –- a fellow trumpet player. Wednesday’s concert will also include a special moment

for Kathy Fortini. A violinist who hasn’t picked up the instrument in several years, she will be performing several songs with the orchestra, for a concert dedicated to her son’s memory. Kostreva said he envisioned the Southeast Alumni Symphony Orchestra being a place where college-aged students –– be they conservatory students or hobbyists –– to practice their art over the summer. He enlisted the help of a conductor, Robert Babb, who works with the Southeastern Philharmonic Orchestra in Weymouth. “He was interested in helping these kids out,” Kostreva said of Babb. “The kids that are in conservatory come home for the summer and don’t have anywhere to play.” The orchestra is composed of around 50 strings, brass, woodwind and percussion players. They are mostly college age, but Kostreva has enlisted the help of some older players where there were gaps in the sections. This year, the group has held seven rehearsals leading up to the Aug. 5 concert. Music will include Schubert’s Unfinished Sym-
phony and other works by Beethoven, Chaminade, Dvorak and Weber. “The focus is totally on the kids,” he said. Kostreva works in the finance field for a non-profit, but attended Boston University for music and plays in several orchestras. Music may not be his day job, but it’s a major part of his life. “It really served me well,” he said. “It just made life a lot of fun.” For the Fortinis, the orchestra -– which contains many of their son’s friends –– is another example of Paul’s memory living on through his love of music. Ken Fortini said the Duxbury community was generous in its response to Paul’s death, which lead to the creation of the foundation. “We were humbled and overwhelmed with the amount of donations we received in the months after Paul’s passing,” he said. “We have a solid group of supporters who are dedicated to doing what they can to preserve Paul’s memory.” The foundation will be selling t-shirts at the concert. The design is simple –– based on a lyric from one of Paul’s favorite songs, “Hummingbird,” by Wilco. “Remember to remember me,” the song goes, “standing still in your past, floating fast like a hummingbird.” The image of the hummingbird also evokes a memory for Paul Fortini’s parents. During the hailstorm that hit Duxbury a few months ago, Kathy Fortini opened the garage door for the family dog, Coco –– and saw a hummingbird, floating in the front yard. “It really made us feel like Paul was among us,” said Ken Fortini.

A trip to Clark’s Island Photos by Justin Graeber
A replica of the “Shallop,” a coasting vessel brought over on the Mayflower by the Pilgrims and used to explore the Massachusetts coastline, was built by the Pilgrim John Howland Society of Plymouth and stopped by Clark’s Island for the DR&HS tour Sunday.
While the Pilgrims used the Shallop to sail up north and trade with the natives, summer residents Anthony and Jessica Caldarola did a little trading of their own with visitors to the island on Sunday. Rev. Todd Vetter gave the sermon at Pulpit Rock on Sunday. Because the site is where historians believe the first Sunday service in the New World was held, the Duxbury Rural and Historical Society makes a brief religious talk part of the program each year.
Charlie Radoslovich (with Ben) and Stephanie Koontz (with Ella), Kevin Doyle and Michael Radoslovich enjoy a picnic lunch on the lawn outside the Cedarfield house on Clark’s Island. Joan Fachetti and her granddaughter, Jessica Barrineau, who was visiting from Washington D.C., enjoyed the warm weather and natural beauty of Clark’s Island on the trip.
Betsy Allen, Sarah Hyde, and Emily and David Beal relax after finishing their lunch during the annual Duxbury Rural and Historical Society picnic on Clark’s Island. Picnickers took a launch from the Duxbury Bay Maritime School out to the island.
Ann Dorey, Anne Hill and Judy Hatch take a break in the shade during the picnic. Despite a shower early in the day, the rain held off and the weather for the event was beautiful.
The Hobson siblings Sarah, Rachel, John, Allison and Madeline sell goodies to the picnickers on Clark’s Island Sunday. We find it interesting that even a remote island with no electricity apparently has a Dunkin’ Donuts.

Alden Family sites to receive National Historic Landmark plaques from the National Park Service
O
n Aug. 1, the Alden House Historic Site and the Town of Duxbury will each receive bronze plaques from the National Park Service proclaiming the “Alden Family Sites” as a National Historic Landmark. The plaques will be presented at 2:30 p.m. by Marianne Peak, Supervisor of the Adams National Historic Park in Quincy, Massachusetts. Secretary of the Interior Dirk Kempthorne approved the nomination of the Alden Family Sites in Duxbury, Massachusetts, on Oct. 6, 2008, making them an official National Historic Landmark. There are over 87,000 sites listed on the National Register of Historic Places, but fewer than 2,500 have been awarded actual landmark status by the U.S. Department of the Interior. There are 184 National Historic Landmarks in Massachusetts, the second highest in the U.S. after New York, which has 257. Two sites, contiguous to one another, were included in the nomination. One contains the c. 1700 Alden House, owned and maintained since 1907 by the Alden Kindred of America, a family association
consisting of Alden descendants (which today includes individuals of every racial and ethnic background). The other contains the archaeological site where the first c. 1630 Alden House was located. That property is owned by the Duxbury Schools Department, which was an enthusiastic co-sponsor of the nomination. The John and Priscilla Alden Family Sites in Duxbury, Massachusetts, were both part of the 1627/28 100-acre grant to Mayflower passenger John Alden and his family. No other physical site is so prominently linked with specific Mayflower passengers. The site acquired national historic and cultural significance thanks to the impact of “The Courtship of Miles Standish,” a poem about the
courtship of John Alden and Priscilla Mullins published in 1858 by their descendant Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. The desire of late nineteenth and early twentieth century Americans for a more human, family-focused story about the cultural and historical origins
of the United States made The Courtship the most popular national origins story in American folklore. The poem’s popularity made the surviving Alden House the most important physical site associated with John and Priscilla and a focus of on-going national
public interest, especially since descendants continued to own and live in the house. No other sites are so prominently associated with John Alden (c.1589/9-1687), a person of national significance in the U.S. colonial period. The ship’s cooper on the Mayflower and a founder of the Plymouth Colony, Alden held positions of high economic and political importance for almost the entire seventy-two year history of Plymouth Colony (16201692), a span of public service unrivaled in seventeenth century colonial America and perhaps in the entire colonial period. He served the colony in almost every available capacity save that of governor (although he served as deputy or acting governor on two occasions).

Sweet had a positive impact on all players ——
A not-so-Sweet M feeling
T
he decision not to renew the contract of boys lacrosse coach Chris Sweet has stirred much controversy over the last week, since news of the decision leaked out. Like any personnel decision, there’s a lot going on here that we don’t know about. And the school administration certainly has a right to offer –– or not offer –– contracts to whom they so choose. But some aspects of what’s unfolded over the last week or so leaves a bad taste in the mouth. First, the news of the non-renewal of Sweet’s year-to-year contract wasn’t made immediately public. According to two School Committee members, news of the decision was revealed in a closed door executive session of the board. That’s very borderline when it comes to the state’s Open Meeting Law –– although the details of contract negotiations are not public, the employment status of a school employee, in this case a coach, should be. Duxbury is a tight-knit community, and fiercely proud of its championship high school lacrosse team, so this news was bound to get out eventually. All that’s happened now is that parents were more enraged to hear the news through leaks and rumors, rather than a clear, open statement. In fact, Sweet himself said last week that he hadn’t “formally” received notice from the district that he wouldn’t be returning to the sidelines next year. This week, he added that he and the superintendent have never met face to face. DHS’s athletic director Thom Holdgate said there were no allegations of misconduct discussed at Sweet’s most recent performance review –– on Sweet’s public record, at least, are nothing but championships. And now lawyers are involved, never a good sign. At the very least, this doesn’t seem like a good way to conduct business. The matter still has to be resolved, and maybe this will all make sense somewhere down the road. But for now, it seems like some of the current furor from parents and players could have been avoided had the decision been handled with more tact. –– J. Graeber

y name is Tripp Neville and I am a 2001 Duxbury High School graduate and was a player/captain for Coach Sweet. I went on to play lacrosse at Gettysburg College and currently coach the Bentley Men’s Varsity Lacrosse Team. I believe, as you look more into the current situation with Coach Sweet you, as an administration, are going to find an overwhelming amount of people agreeing with Mr. Bush [see letter, facing page]. As a player, not a disgruntled parent, I can tell you without any hesitation, that Coach Sweet had an enormous positive impact on the majority of his players. He demanded you give 100 percent on and off the field. His impact on the field can easily be proven with his overall record and state championships. However his positive impact off the field, I believe, was not taken into consideration when making this decision. I can only speak for myself, however I believe most current and past players share the same feelings as I do. I can confidently say Coach Sweet has had a direct impact on the person I am today. He builds character in every one of his players and demands performance in life, the classroom and on the field. He shapes players into men and prepares them for their future. Winning aside, his skill as a coach is embodied in over a decade of players. As someone who has remained close to the current
situation with Coach Sweet, I believe it would not only be unfair to dismiss him without hearing the majority’s side, but it would be a travesty of the administration. As competitive athletics go, there is always going to be someone let down about playing time, making the team, or not being involved. The fact of the matter is that as an administration, it is your duty and your job to look past this and find the facts. Have you taken the chance to speak with any previous players about Coach Sweet? Have you spoken to some of the parents close to the matter who think differently than, what I’m sure is, the minority? Have you at least heard what Coach Sweet has to say? It seems, as an administration, you are being pushed around by a small number of overzealous parents. “Going in a different direction” would be a cowardice move and would be viewed as another letdown by the administration. You have the chance to make things right by hearing both sides, listening to past players, and inevitably making the correct decision. This has gone on long enough. It has embarrassed everyone involved
and has cast a dark shadow on Duxbury. In regards to the parents in the “anti-Sweet” camp, as a player and as a coach I have witnessed this before and it never worked out well. It alienates your son from his peers, makes the coach look foolish and won’t succeed as long as the majority is behind the coach. I believe in this case you are going to find an overwhelming amount of Sweet supporters and individuals wishing to be heard. It is a shame and embarrassment that this is how frustrations are dealt with and it is selfish to try and oust a coach who has become legendary in a local sense. I urge you to do the right thing, hear both sides, and come to a quick and concise decision. Tripp Neville DHS Class of 2001 [This letter, as with most of the letters on this page relating to Coach Sweet, was also sent to the Superintendent. -Ed.]
Coach decision was ‘short-sighted’ ————
I
’m writing to ask that parents of children enrolled in the Duxbury school system, closely examine the issue of the dismissal of DHS lacrosse coach, Chris Sweet. My son, Brian, a DHS graduate, class of 2001, had the privilege of playing for Coach Sweet. I also had the privilege of working with Chris through the boosters and in fund raising. I want people to understand some of the benefits that Chris has brought to our kids through the DHS lacrosse program. Chris takes his teams out of state each year to play against the best competition in the country. He has taken this program from its humble roots to national recognition. The boys also get a taste of what college sports are like and the independence of a “road trip.” Both of my sons played college lacrosse and I can report that Duxbury is not only known for its quality players, it is known for its quality kids. I challenge the administration to compare the colleges that Chris’ kids get admitted to with the list from
any other segment of the school population. The people who should be most alarmed by this short sighted decision are the parents of young lacrosse players in town who may lose the chance to play for this fine man.
These are the kids who will be punished the greatest by this decision. John Prescott Quincy
Take note of health care debate
T
o our seniors: Our congressman will be voting on a health care bill that they say will not increase the deficit, but add 46 million people to the new insurance plan. This letter is to our seniors. The cost cutting will result in rationing to those on Medicare. Please inform yourselves on how this plan affects you. Congressman Delahunt invites your questions and calls on his DC line, 202-225-3111. You can also call the AARP with questions or concerns. You need to act now, tell him to protect the seniors. We deserve it, we have played by the rules, paid into the system, don’t ration our care. Ann Barvenik Stoney Brook Circle

Welcome to the neighborhood ——————
W
e are responding to the letter in the July 15 Clipper, entitled “An unwelcomed change.” We have lived on our street for 30 years and would like to voice our opinion as to whether or not our lovely neighborhood has been “ruined.” We are the neighbors who are most impacted by the construction of the new house referred to in the letter since our deck overlooks its western facade. While the author has every right to her opinion about this new house, we would like to set the record straight about what we feel is a misrepresentation of some of the facts and a very unfair characterization of the wonderful people who have built it. In addition, we strongly object to the inference in the cartoon that we neighbors share the author’s opinion about this new construction. Nothing could be further from the truth. It is true that the original house was torn down and the lot was cleared to make way for the new construction. However, the new house, with the exception of the garage, has been built over the exact footprint of the old building. The old plantings were painstakingly removed, wintered over and most of them now replaced on the lot, along with many attractive new trees and bushes. The fence, which of course does look bright right now because it is new, has not been varnished and will darken with age just like the old fence did. The beach vegetation at the end of the street has not been touched in years. The old
jetty was broken and dangerous and was therefore replaced with a wooden dock no different than many of the docks that line Duxbury Bay. All of this construction was done in compliance with the strict building regulations Duxbury has in place to protect the beauty of our town. The result is a stunningly beautiful home that we are fortunate to overlook. When this house was still in the planning stages, the new owners invited us to look at the building plans. They shared with us that they made a change in the original architect’s design to position the garage so it would not block our treasured view of Duxbury Bay. These are generous, thoughtful and caring people who have built this lovely home to enjoy with their large family. They have been residents of Duxbury for nearly 20 years and love this
town just as much as any of us. We are heartbroken to have them so unjustly characterized in print as people who are “in some Hamptons-style race about who has the biggest and best house, car, yacht or dinner reservations.” We have always welcomed anyone who wants to walk down our street and partake of its beauty. The songbirds are still here along with a host of other wildlife, including turkeys, rabbits, deer, foxes, ospreys, shorebirds, terns and our very favorites, great blue herons! We wholeheartedly welcome our new neighbors to our special street. We hope that they will be as happy here as we have been for the past 30 years. Rick and Anne Bowes Harden Hill Road
No cookie-cutter homes here
I
magine my surprise upon reading in the Clipper that for the past twenty three years I have been living in a “cookie cutter housing development savaged” (no less) from a “bucolic (and probably unprofitable) farming community.” All this time I’ve thought I lived in a rural, wooded area with a variety of well maintained houses set on comfortable acre lots. My neighbors are firefighters, police, businessmen and women and professionals of one sort of another. Our neighborhood
is friendly and supportive, safe for pets and children and private without being isolated. We here in our savage outpost enjoy walking trails in hundreds of acres of conservation land, sparkling ponds for fishing and little or no commercial traffic. Since Ms. Christine Hill’s evening walk has been “ruined,” perhaps she should descend from the rarefied air of Washington Street and experience the richness and diversity of life in the rest of Duxbury.

Coach taught more than the game ––––––––––
I
recently caught wind of the potential termination of Coach Sweet from the lacrosse program. To be perfectly honest, I can’t imagine a more unsubstantiated decision. I was lucky enough to have Coach Sweet as my coach for three years during high school. As a life-long hockey player, I had a lot to learn about the game of lacrosse when I started playing as a sophomore. Coach Sweet was a great help in teaching me a game I was completely unfamiliar with. Thanks in large part to his tutelage, I was able to be a part of the town’s first state title in lacrosse in 2002. He was always sympathetic to players’ needs regardless of their skill level. The best example I can provide of his concern for all

players: he made sure that every team member got playing time in our state championship game my senior year. My final memories of attending Duxbury High School have to do with lacrosse season and Coach Sweet. They are some of the fondest memories of my four years in high school. State titles aside, to re-
move him as coach of the program would be irrational and unjustified. Coach Sweet was one of the finest coaches I had throughout all of my years in sports, not just lacrosse. I’m confident all players who were coached by him would feel the same way. Matthew Lyons Former DHS LAX player

‘You should be embarrassed’ A By Tim Bush
s I understand it, Duxbury High School has decided against “renewing” Coach Sweet’s contract as head lacrosse coach and has instead decided to “move in a new direction.” The parents and administration responsible for this decision should be ashamed. Let’s not shy away from the truth of the situation. Disgruntled parents caused enough of a stir for the administration to feel inclined to make such a move. You should both be embarrassed. Let me take a step back. I am a 2001 graduate of DHS. I played varsity football, hockey and baseball and went on to play Division I collegiate baseball at Northeastern University. Yes, you read that correctly, I did not play lacrosse. I did not have the privilege of playing for Coach Sweet, but I have known many many players who did. I can tell you I was and still am envious of every player who had the chance to play for him. As I have grown up to be a young adult I can look back and say three things have had the biggest impact on who I am as a person and where I am in my career. Family, athletics, and academics in that order. Athletics helped shaped my work ethic, my character, my values and my competitiveness. My role models were coaches. Not every coach, but the great ones. The ones who truly cared about me even if I wasn’t in my uniform. The ones who were willing to teach me more than just fundamentals of a sport. The ones who wanted to help me succeed as I progressed through life even when they were no longer my coach. I can tell you with absolute certainty that Coach Sweet is one of these great coaches. As administrators I’m sure you deal with many disgruntled parents. That’s part of the job. It’s also I know you heard from the part of your job disgruntled few, but did you reach to realize people get caught up in out to hear the stories of the vast a moment. To majority? You are not employed to realize that certain do the easy thing, you are employed emotions may get to do the right thing even if that involved and certain means standing up to vocal parents. stories are told, and it’s your job to sift through these stories to get to the truth of the situation. So Mr. and Mrs. Administrator, let me ask you a few questions. For every one disgruntled parent there are 10 who will tell you Coach Sweet has had an enormous impact on their son’s life and high school career, so you spoke to these folks, right? For every one player who is angry about not winning a post-season award there are 20 players who would want their own children to play for Coach Sweet, so you reached out to them, right? I know you heard from the disgruntled few, but did you reach out to hear the stories of the vast majority? You are not employed to do the easy thing, you are employed to do the right thing even if that means standing up to vocal parents. You can hide behind the statement of wanting to “move in a new direction”, but I must ask, why? On the field Coach Sweet has led the lacrosse team to six straight State Championships and seven overall creating lifelong memories for so many players. The lacrosse team has had more players earn scholarships than any other sport at DHS, a process that Coach Sweet is most certainly involved in. To the disgruntled parents, you give Duxbury a bad name. It is your kids who live their life with a sense of entitlement. What happens when your child doesn’t make their college lacrosse team? What happens when he isn’t named to the All Big East team? What happens when his employer doesn’t give him a raise? Do you try to have all these people fired? Or do you look in the mirror and tell yourself maybe there isn’t always someone else to blame? To all the youth lacrosse players in town, I am sorry that you will not have the chance to play for Coach Sweet should the administration stand by their current assessment. The high school administration is doing you a terrible disservice. I have no problem with each coach being evaluated after a season, and I’m sure there are always some parents who can tell compelling stories of each of the coach’s flaws. I also can accept that some parents need to be heard. All we can ask is that you take the time to follow through with a fair evaluation. And a fair evaluation consists of speaking to people on both sides of the aisle. I strongly encourage a full and fair evaluation in this case, because when you do you will hear a dramatically different story than the one that was told by the disgruntled few.

Better Value, Better Living!
wenty five were in attendance at the Rotary Club breakfast meeting held at the Duxbury Senior Center with President George Prebola presiding. Immediate past District Governor Steve Silverman gave an inspirational talk about Rotary and how it is a vehicle to make a difference in one’s community. He said that Rotary, with its sources and available funding, can make a difference as evidenced by its eliminating polio in most of the world in cooperation with the world health organizations. The Duxbury Rotary Club awards scholarships each year to a deserving Duxbury boy or girl, assisted Razia Jan in building a school for Afghan girls, and helped Chris Blake and Dan Hill build a dormitory for orphan children in Uganda. All the foregoing takes place amid fellowship and fun of the Duxbury Rotary Club. Plans are underway for the annual Duck Race which will be held at the Bluefish River Bridge on Sept. 19.

Gurnet Theatre Project gears up for its fifth summer of free theater

By Colleen Moore Clipper Intern
f you’re looking for a fun, relaxing, and cheap way to spend a summer evening, look no further than the Myles Standish Monument, as the Gurnet Theatre Project will be performing Shakespeare’s “MacBeth” for free this August at the base of the monument. The Project will be performing Aug. 7-9 and 14-16 at 5 p.m. at the monument.

The Gurnet Theatre Project was founded in the winter of 2005 and that summer the group put on its first production, “The Illusion.” The company has put on free shows at the monument every summer since then. Producing an outdoor show was something founders Brian C. Fahey and Michelle Kordis Hatfield thought the community would enjoy and could take part in. “We knew we wanted to do an outdoor show,” Fahey said. The monument is a nice spot for performing and actors and guests alike always enjoy coming back, Fahey added. “It’s the biggest stage you can be on,” “MacBeth” Di-

This year’s offering by the Gurnet Theatre Project, “MacBeth,” will be a more traditional take on the Bard than last year’s “The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged), a farcical comedy that includes “The Othello Rap” and a 30-second version of “Hamlet.” Pictured are Brendan Rogers as Macduff and Victor Shopov as Macbeth.

rector Michael Duncan Smith said of performing outdoors at the monument. This is Smith’s third year with the company, but his first year directing. He has been in the past two summer productions and has worked with the Project in Boston during the year. Smith learned last summer that he would direct this year’s show at the monument. After being approached by Fahey and former director Kristen Schnibbee, Smith said he would “absolutely love to
direct a show.” His play of choice? “MacBeth.” The Project has performed several other Shakespeare plays, including The “Complete Works of William Shakespeare,” “As You Like It,” and “Much Ado About Nothing.” MacBeth will be the first Shakespeare tragedy, however, that the group has ever performed. “We decided it would be a good idea to breach that,” Smith said of never having performed a tragedy. MacBeth is also the third short-
est Shakespeare play, and the Project hopes to perform it in two and a half hours. The company posted open auditions in Boston and Duxbury during the spring. Most of the 15 member cast comes from around Boston this year. The project has been doing more work in Boston during the fall, winter, and spring, which attracted talents from outside Duxbury for the summer show. However, the project still tries to keep it’s roots based in Duxbury at the monu-

Kathy lost, but I knew the loss was enormous. “What’s her name?” I asked. “Coco.” “Like chocolate, or Coco Chanel?” Either would work. With Coco’s swirls of brown and creamy white, she looks like hot chocolate and whipped cream. But the truth is that she looks a little more like Coco Chanel, saucy and full of life.

Music in Paul’s memory continued from page one
filled with art, passion, and intensity. Talented in theater, instrumental music and voice, Paul also pressed himself in athletics. His dad told me that Paul was a member of the first rowing team in Duxbury to win a gold medal. Dan Kostreva went on to tell me that Paul had been “in” at the first planning thoughts, the first creative bloom for the Alumni Symphony in Duxbury. “We were walking down the sidewalk in New York after my daughter’s performance,” Dan explained. “We just started kicking around the idea.” So Paul was in at the beginning, a summer orchestra for Duxbury and other local student musicians to keep their “chops” strong, and play some beautiful music at the same time. The Southeast Alumni Symphony Orchestra was born. The idea, quite simply, is to give some playing time to college-aged musicians in a venue for playing beautiful music, with the occasional gap in the sections made up by not so college-aged musicians. Robert C. Babb returns to conduct the orchestra this year, and the concert program (like last year) includes some rip-roaring symphony music that will satisfy your soul. Beethoven’s “Egmont Overture,” Schubert’s “Unfinished Symphony,” Dvorak’s “Slavonic Dance No 8,” and other works by Chaminade and Weber. Rip-roaring? Not the fussiest musical term, but the point of the program for audience and players alike is to have some fun, and play some of the music that brought us into music in the first place. A fitting tribute to Paul, who was a gifted and dedicated teacher of younger students while he was at Duxbury High School. The concert is at the Duxbury Performing Arts Center Wednesday, Aug. 5 at 8 p.m. Tickets are $15 for the orchestra section ($12 for Seniors and Students), and $10 for Mezzanine seats (students and seniors $8). All net proceeds will go to the Paul F. Fortini Foundation. Buy your tickets at the door, or at the Depot Street Market, Farfar’s, Music Unlimited, or the Studio. This year, believe it or not, I’ll be joining the orchestra to play triangle for the Dvorak piece. Triangle players dream of Slavonic Dance No. 8, a dazzling showcase for a percussionist longing to bring the sparkle of a sun-dipped dew-drop to the concert stage. Coco, I hope, will be pleased. I know she’ll be close enough to hear.

Brush up on Shakespeare continued from page one
ment, Smith added. Actors are always really excited to perform outdoors, Smith said. The group rehearses Monday through Thursday and every Sunday the cast travels to the monument and practices outside. This summer is a little different from past summers, because the monument is otherwise closed to visitors. Smith had to obtain a key to unlock the gate, and must lock it up once all the cast members have arrived. “I become porter at the gate,” Smith said of his duties. The company also had to obtain a special permit to perform at the monument. “It’s sort of a shame [the monument is closed],” Fahey said. Even with the park closure, the group looks forward to performing there this summer.
“It’s one of those things for an actor,” Smith said. “It’s 5 o’clock, the sun is out, and you have an entire acre to play with. It’s a lot of fun.” The Project is excited to perform for families and children of all ages at the show. “It’s a Shakespeare play, but we found some moments to break Danielle Muehlen and Victor Shopov as Lady through the ordiMacbeth and Macbeth. nary,” Smith said. He hinted that this and the audience will be very year’s play will use much of involved in the play. the area around the monument
Transpacific yacht race Richard Blatterman of South River Lane East, and his son, Tom, DHS ’02, recently completed the 45th biannual Transpacific Yacht Race, which begins at Point Fermin, south of Los Angeles, and finishes at the Diamond Head Lighthouse in Hawaii. A Blatterman family tradition, Richard’s dad has sailed in 14 Transpacs, starting in the early 1950’s. Richard sailed the first of his nine races with his father in 1969, and was happy to be aboard “Between the Sheets,” a Jeanneau 50, for Tom’s first Transpac. Father and son had
a great time despite the slow wind conditions in the beginning, making for over 15 days of racing. After 2,225 nautical miles, they crossed
the finish line second in their class. Both are looking forward to the next Transpac in 2011.

t a time when artists have a vast variety of digital tools and high tech options available to them, three local artists who work outside, directly in front of their subject, will exhibit at The Art Complex Museum in Duxbury. Their exhibit, En Plein Air, comes from a French expression which means “in the open air,” and is used to describe the act of painting outdoors. Artists have long painted outdoors, but in the mid-1800s working in natural light became particularly important to the Barbizon School and the Impressionists. The popularity of painting en plein air increased in the 1870s with the introduction of paints in tubes. Previously, each painter made his own paints by grinding and mixing dry pigment powders with linseed oil. Kimberlee Alemian of Co-
hasset has been drawing and painting since childhood. She received her BFA from Massachusetts College of Art having studied with George Nick, Paul Rahilly, and Rob Moore. She received her MFA from Boston University, studying with David Aronson, John Moore, Richard Raiseli and Graham Nickson. Sue Charles of Marshfield graduated from Boston University with a BFA in painting and credits her instructors,
John Wilson, Reed Kay and David Aronson with giving her a love of drawing. Vincent Crotty is an Irishborn artist living in Boston. Born and raised in Kanturk, County Cork, a small town in southwest Ireland, Vincent began painting at age seven and was inspired by his mother’s interest in art and the beauty of his natural surroundings. After secondary school, he spent five long years working in a factory, during the bleak economic conditions of Ireland in the 1980s. Vincent then turned to painting at age 22 with a fierce commitment, as he says, “to make my living – one way or another – with paint.” This exhibit, full of color and spontaneity, is scheduled from Aug. 22 through Nov. 8. A reception is scheduled for Sept. 20, 1:30-3:30 pm.

On her own
DAA summer show approaches
Mark your calendars for the perfect summer punctuation – the Midsummer Member Art Show The Duxbury Art Association 92nd Annual Midsummer Art Show at The Ellison Center for the Arts starts on Sunday Aug. 2 with festivities that run one week through Sunday, Aug 9. “The Midsummer Member show is far less intimidating that our Winter Juried Show,” says Executive Director, Mary Beth Brown. “This show celebrates our long standing mission to the artist in everyone. We have over 400 entries from
young artists to adults in various mediums (oils/acrylics, watercolors, drawing/pastels/ prints, photography, digital photography, three dimensional and crafts). While every submission is judged, all work is displayed. That in itself is a great achievement to be in the company of young, aspiring and established artists from all over New England.” Artwork is accepted on Sunday Aug. 2 and Monday Aug. 3. The show opens free to the public on Thursday, Aug. 6 and runs through Sunday Aug. 9. A studio sale is also open to pick up “must haves” from
area artists and crafters. The Benefit Cocktail Reception, on Friday, Aug. 7 is an exciting social event open to all adults. Adult award winners are recognized at this event and young artists enjoy their own awards reception on Saturday, Aug. 8. Tickets to the benefit cocktail party are $30 each and can be purchased by calling 781-934-2731 ext. 4. For more information about the Duxbury Art Association and the Midsummer Art Show, visit www.duxburyart.org or call 781-934-2731 ext. 4.

Pack 1776 goes to Camp Norse M
ore than two dozen cub scouts and parent volunteers from Pack 1776 attended Camp Norse in Kingston for a week of day camping. The scouts participated in archery, BB shooting, sports, crafts, swimming, boating and daily flag ceremonies.
The pack painted upside down like Michelangelo ... What a great finished masterpiece! Assistant Cub Master James O’Sullivan led the pack daily throughout the day’s scheduled activities.
Photos by Jennifer Ayers
The scouts enjoyed a BMX bike ride. Luke Mallegol received recognition for attaining a national score on his target. Quinn Capraro, Spencer Benisch and Tim Ayers stop in the obstacle course tunnel for a photo.

Outrage over Sweet move Players and parents rally to save DHS lacrosse coach’s job By Dave Palana, Clipper Staff [email protected]
Duxbury lacrosse players battled for Chris Sweet on the field, winning six state titles in a row –– now they’re fighting to help their coach keep his job. Sweet supporters have started a petition drive asking school officials to reconsider their decision not to renew the coach’s contract after 14 years on the job. Teammates like midfielder John Ricciardi hope to meet personally with Superintendent Sue Skeiber to voice their support for Sweet. “I’m really disappointed and I don’t see why [the school administration] did this,” Ricciardi said. “I thought he was a great coach and helped me out a lot.”
Starting defenseman JB Marston acknowledged that Sweet’s style could rub some people the wrong way, but said losing him as coach would be a mistake by the school. “On and off the field, he helped you be a good guy and a good player. I’m definitely going to fight for him and help to get him back,” he said. Jane Bradley, whose son played lacrosse, started an online petition to keep Sweet at DHS. Bradley sent copies of the petition, which now has over 200 signatures at ipetitions.com, to Skeiber’s office and to the School Committee in hopes they will reconsider the decision to let him go. “I don’t have a political stake in this, I just know he is
SERMON ON THE ROCK: The Rev. Todd Vetter of Pilgrim Church gives a sermon in front of “Pulpit Rock” during the Duxbury Rural and Historical Society’s annual sojourn to Clark’s Island in Duxbury Bay. The island is where a small group of Pilgrims from the Mayflower first made landfall in the New World, and held the first religious services in America under this giant boulder, which many consider to be the “real” Plymouth Rock.

beach neighbors By Colleen Moore Clipper Intern
After much discussion from neighbors, a conditional permit was approved for the reconstruction of a house on Duxbury Beach last week. Members of the Gurnet neighborhood filled the ZBA meeting on Thursday night to voice their concerns about the reconstruction of a house at
21 Hummock Lane, near the Marshfield side of the beach. The Federici’s, owners of 21 Hummock Lane, are planning a second floor addition to their current one story summer cottage. The current house is just under 18 feet tall and will be 11 feet higher with the second floor. continued on page 21

The Alden House Historic Site and the adjacent “1627 First Site” are now officially recognized as a National Historic Landmark, reflecting the deep significance in American culture of the heritage of John and Priscilla (Mullins) Alden, the archaeological importance of their ancestral home site, and the influence of their inspiring story through Longfellow’s beloved saga, The Courtship of Miles Standish. The Alden House, one of very few remaining homes in the country inhabited by the same family for over 350 years, gives the Alden Kindred a unique opportunity to bring history alive through the lives and livelihoods of an average American family.

DEF news
DEF Spring Grant: There are textbooks in every school. There are computers in every school. But rarely do the two connect at the elementary level. Now, the two will merge at Alden Elementary beginning this fall, thanks to a grant recently funded by The Duxbury Education Foundation. It’s a new, interactive teaching approach that integrates technology into daily learning and curriculum called Easiteach software. A dynamic “Mimio” system provides the software, projector, graphic tablet and white board converter that allow teachers to access a world of information based on or related to the curriculum. It could be a story out of a Scott Foresman English Language Arts book that comes to life; or a math geometry problem that the students can now visualize. The technology allows teachers to tap into a network file that accesses real time information (such as Google Earth) or modules in math and English that make students active participants in the learning. Similar to a “Smart board,” the “Mimio” system allows any traditional white board to become interactive and allows teachers to create their own lessons or use lessons already developed. The technology will be mounted in the team rooms on each floor. Beyond interactive websites appropriate for third through fifth graders, Easiteach will also access textbook material and make it “live.” For harder to understand lessons, animation can also be integrated - a proven technique for introducing new concepts. Assistant Principal Karen Fruzzetti is most enthusiastic about the grant. “This system is fabulous. It will bring curriculum to life for our elementary students and create wonderful synergy between our computers and textbooks. The possibilities are endless. We are very excited.” Students will be able to access lessons to review on classroom and computer labs. Teachers will be able to create their own interactive lessons and environment, and then share them with other faculty through a shared system that can be accessed by all teachers in the district and beyond. “We’re grateful to DEF for awarding us this grant,” said Christopher Trombly, Alden School principal. “We’re on an aggressive schedule to train our grade three teachers on this program in our Aug. professional development program.”

Hope is blooming in Duxbury Non-profit spreads comfort through gardens By Justin Graeber, Clipper Editor [email protected]
Sometimes a flower can be more than just a pretty thing in someone’s garden. Sometimes a flower can give people hope. That was the idea behind Hope In Bloom Inc., created by Dedham resident Roberta Hershon after a friend lost her battle with breast cancer. “We both liked to garden,” Hershon said, pausing from installing a garden for Bayridge Lane resident Patti Armstrong on Thursday morning. “When she got sick ... bringing her flowers, working in the garden, really made a huge difference in her outlook.” When her friend died in 2005, Hershon knew she

“Smile” HINTS THIS WEEK’S HINT: QUESTION:
What is the best way to prevent stains in my pool and also remove existing stains?
ANSWER: First of all, have the water professionally analyzed. (We do this at nocharge). If metals are present, use a metal remover in the pool. If stains already exist, there are chemicals available that cover a wide-range of stains and can be used for "spot treatment."

wanted to bring the love of gardening they both shared with others. “When she passed away, I thought this was the best way to honor her memory,” Hershon said. The first garden was dedicated in 2007. Since then, Hope in Bloom volunteers have planted 65 gardens. They’ve done 10 this year so far, and plan to build about 10 more. Patti Armstrong of Bayridge Lane was diagnosed with breast cancer about two years ago. She underwent months of chemo and radiation treatment, and is recovering. Her sister saw a newspaper article about Hope in Bloom, and Armstrong called about getting help with her garden. A representative from the Duxbury Garden Club came
to help with the design, and Thursday a team of volunteers descended on her home to relandscape the area in front of her garage. “It’s wonderful,” Armstrong said. “I can look out my window and see the flowers.” Hershon said gardening has been proven to have health benefits, relieving stress and raising serotonin levels. She feels that cancer treatments can be more effective when the person is in good spirits. “If you’re in a positive frame of mind ... it can only help,” she said. “[In a garden] you can just be there and decompress.” Interested residents can donate to Hope in Bloom or sign up as a local volunteer via the group’s Web site, www.hopeinbloom.org.

Outrage over Sweet move
wrence
While Duxbury Superintendent of Schools Susan Skeiber has not commented publicly on the reasons for the decision not to renew Sweet’s contract, one of the rumors circulating in town is that Sweet’s decision not to promote three seniors to the varsity team while adding eight freshmen, including his son, was a contributing factor. Sweet stood by his roster moves this week, saying all his cuts were based strictly on the performances at tryouts. “Whoever made varsity made it on merit, period,” he said. “I take personnel decisions very seriously, but you can’t please everyone. I have to place 90 kids on three different teams and I think [assistant coach Tony Fisher] and I do a pretty good job.” Sweet also denied the rumor that his involvement with the Under Armour All-America game showed any player favoritism on his part. Sweet was chosen to coach the North team in the non-sanctioned all-star game, where Hakeem Lecky was Duxbury’s lone representative and captains Quinn Cully, Kyle Gavoni and Jake Harvey were left off the roster. Sweet said he had no control over the roster for the game and that writers at Inside Lacrosse Magazine made most of the selections. “I had zero input on who made that team,” he said. “I was picked to coach and that was it.” –– D. Palana

to comment on Sweet’s status. An attorney handling the matter for the school district, Michelle McNulty of Murphy, Lamere and Murphy P.C. in Braintree, was out of the office last week and calls to another attorney at the firm were not returned as of press time. Sweet said he has not been able to meet with Skeiber since her return. He said the superintendent has never met him face to face. “I think it would be fair for her to get to know me,” he said. Sweet said he has hired his own counsel, Wayne Dennison of Brown Rudnick LLP in Boston. He said that the district cut off all communication to himself and the assistant coach about a month and a half ago. However, he said his goal is not litigation –– merely to get his job back. “The only reason I hired a lawyer is because the school involved theirs,” Sweet said. “I’m not looking to sue anyone.” Skeiber informed the School Committee that Sweet’s contract would not be renewed for next season at their July 8 meeting, in executive session. Sweet, who has coached for 14 years at DHS, led the Dragons to seven of the last eight Division I state championships. His contract is on a year-toyear basis. Sweet said he still hasn’t received official word from the administration as to why his contract wasn’t renewed, although he did address some persistent rumors about his departure (see sidebar). He confirmed that he has already received offers to coach elsewhere, but reiterated his desire to remain at the high school. “I still very much want to coach in Duxbury,” he said. “That is where my heart is.” Read more reaction to Sweet’s contract situation on page 18.

A photograph from 1922 of the original Duxbury World War I memorial recently surfaced, giving the War Memorial Committee an extra push to restore the monument by March 2010. The photograph was found in an old album purchased by Bob Dente, a local history buff. The pages are ordered by date, and although this photograph did not have a date on it, it was between the 1921 and 1923 pages, making this photo likely from 1922, Joe Shea Chairman of the War Memorial Committee said. Before this photograph surfaced, the only photographs of the original monument were from 1943. In these later pictures, a decorative piece on the side of the monument had fallen off. The original photograph allows the committee to see what was there before and to more accurately replicate

A picture from 1922 of the original Duxbury World War I memorial was found last week. The War Memorial Committee is working to identify the woman in the picture.
the monument, Shea said. The picture has a young woman in it, however there is no mention of who the woman is. The War Memorial Committee hopes to identify the woman, Shea said. In early July, pieces of the original monument were taken by a company in Quincy to be cleaned and measured. Some pieces will travel as far as Indiana to be cut in a factory there. The first memorial was moved around town before settling in Boomer Square, between Tremont Street and Depot Street. However, after several moves, the memorial was damaged and eventually taken down, Shea said. Also, having the monument in Boomer Square blocked the view for drivers, which is another reason it might have been taken down. Once the memorial was damaged, the stones came apart. The stones were then placed in the back of the 58924 Beverly Johnson, a cemetery, Cemetery Trustee and memberDuxbury of the committee said. The stones stayed in the cemetery 3 x 9” for several decades before anyone really took notice. “[The stones] came up a few times, and there was talk of maybe doing something,
but it was always put on the back burner,” Johnson said. It wasn’t until Shea had heard about the stones that any action took place. The old stones will be incorporated in the new memorial. The memorial will feature a tall, flat cement structure in the center, which will be engraved with the names of Duxbury residents who were involved in the war. The monument will have a brick walkway leading towards it. The monument will also be handicapped accessible and will have benches for viewing. Construction may begin as early as this summer or fall, when the underground base of the memorial will be installed. This cement structure will settle over the winter, before the rest of the memorial is installed early next spring, Shea said. The War Memorial Committee is now focusing on completing fundraising for the memorial. The bricks to surround the memorial are for sale through the War Memorial Committee, and may be personalized with the name of the donor. “We’re committed to the restoration of what was,” Shea said.

Concert dedicated to Fortini continued from page one
pushed Kostreva, an Elm Street resident and classically trained string bass player, to go ahead with the project. Paul Fortini never got a chance to play the trumpet in the orchestra he helped inspire. His life was cut short when he was struck by a car in New York City last September. Over the winter, Kostreva approached Fortini’s parents, Ken and Kathy, and the Paul S. Fortini Foundation about dedicating this summer’s concert to Paul. Ken Fortini said he is happy to have the fledgling foundation co-sponsor the concert. “I think it’s really nice for the foundation to be identified with a summer organization of young people,” Fortini said. “In Paul’s short life, he touched a lot of people.” Fortini and his wife started the foundation after their son’s death to carry on his memory by helping supplement the Duxbury High School music and drama departments. “That really was what Paul loved the most,” he said. In addition to the concert, the foundation will also sponsor an a cappella night in March. Fortini also hopes to make a major announcement about the foundation’s goals on Nov. 5, which will coincide with the high school performing a piece commissioned in his son’s memory. The DHS orchestra recently drew the attention of up-ancoming film composer Rossano Galante by performing his music, which is intended for college level players. Galante was happy to accept a commission from the DHS music department to write a piece in memory of Paul Fortini –- a fellow trumpet player. Wednesday’s concert will also include a special moment

for Kathy Fortini. A violinist who hasn’t picked up the instrument in several years, she will be performing several songs with the orchestra, for a concert dedicated to her son’s memory. Kostreva said he envisioned the Southeast Alumni Symphony Orchestra being a place where college-aged students –– be they conservatory students or hobbyists –– to practice their art over the summer. He enlisted the help of a conductor, Robert Babb, who works with the Southeastern Philharmonic Orchestra in Weymouth. “He was interested in helping these kids out,” Kostreva said of Babb. “The kids that are in conservatory come home for the summer and don’t have anywhere to play.” The orchestra is composed of around 50 strings, brass, woodwind and percussion players. They are mostly college age, but Kostreva has enlisted the help of some older players where there were gaps in the sections. This year, the group has held seven rehearsals leading up to the Aug. 5 concert. Music will include Schubert’s Unfinished Sym-
phony and other works by Beethoven, Chaminade, Dvorak and Weber. “The focus is totally on the kids,” he said. Kostreva works in the finance field for a non-profit, but attended Boston University for music and plays in several orchestras. Music may not be his day job, but it’s a major part of his life. “It really served me well,” he said. “It just made life a lot of fun.” For the Fortinis, the orchestra -– which contains many of their son’s friends –– is another example of Paul’s memory living on through his love of music. Ken Fortini said the Duxbury community was generous in its response to Paul’s death, which lead to the creation of the foundation. “We were humbled and overwhelmed with the amount of donations we received in the months after Paul’s passing,” he said. “We have a solid group of supporters who are dedicated to doing what they can to preserve Paul’s memory.” The foundation will be selling t-shirts at the concert. The design is simple –– based on a lyric from one of Paul’s favorite songs, “Hummingbird,” by Wilco. “Remember to remember me,” the song goes, “standing still in your past, floating fast like a hummingbird.” The image of the hummingbird also evokes a memory for Paul Fortini’s parents. During the hailstorm that hit Duxbury a few months ago, Kathy Fortini opened the garage door for the family dog, Coco –– and saw a hummingbird, floating in the front yard. “It really made us feel like Paul was among us,” said Ken Fortini.

A trip to Clark’s Island Photos by Justin Graeber
A replica of the “Shallop,” a coasting vessel brought over on the Mayflower by the Pilgrims and used to explore the Massachusetts coastline, was built by the Pilgrim John Howland Society of Plymouth and stopped by Clark’s Island for the DR&HS tour Sunday.
While the Pilgrims used the Shallop to sail up north and trade with the natives, summer residents Anthony and Jessica Caldarola did a little trading of their own with visitors to the island on Sunday. Rev. Todd Vetter gave the sermon at Pulpit Rock on Sunday. Because the site is where historians believe the first Sunday service in the New World was held, the Duxbury Rural and Historical Society makes a brief religious talk part of the program each year.
Charlie Radoslovich (with Ben) and Stephanie Koontz (with Ella), Kevin Doyle and Michael Radoslovich enjoy a picnic lunch on the lawn outside the Cedarfield house on Clark’s Island. Joan Fachetti and her granddaughter, Jessica Barrineau, who was visiting from Washington D.C., enjoyed the warm weather and natural beauty of Clark’s Island on the trip.
Betsy Allen, Sarah Hyde, and Emily and David Beal relax after finishing their lunch during the annual Duxbury Rural and Historical Society picnic on Clark’s Island. Picnickers took a launch from the Duxbury Bay Maritime School out to the island.
Ann Dorey, Anne Hill and Judy Hatch take a break in the shade during the picnic. Despite a shower early in the day, the rain held off and the weather for the event was beautiful.
The Hobson siblings Sarah, Rachel, John, Allison and Madeline sell goodies to the picnickers on Clark’s Island Sunday. We find it interesting that even a remote island with no electricity apparently has a Dunkin’ Donuts.

Alden Family sites to receive National Historic Landmark plaques from the National Park Service
O
n Aug. 1, the Alden House Historic Site and the Town of Duxbury will each receive bronze plaques from the National Park Service proclaiming the “Alden Family Sites” as a National Historic Landmark. The plaques will be presented at 2:30 p.m. by Marianne Peak, Supervisor of the Adams National Historic Park in Quincy, Massachusetts. Secretary of the Interior Dirk Kempthorne approved the nomination of the Alden Family Sites in Duxbury, Massachusetts, on Oct. 6, 2008, making them an official National Historic Landmark. There are over 87,000 sites listed on the National Register of Historic Places, but fewer than 2,500 have been awarded actual landmark status by the U.S. Department of the Interior. There are 184 National Historic Landmarks in Massachusetts, the second highest in the U.S. after New York, which has 257. Two sites, contiguous to one another, were included in the nomination. One contains the c. 1700 Alden House, owned and maintained since 1907 by the Alden Kindred of America, a family association
consisting of Alden descendants (which today includes individuals of every racial and ethnic background). The other contains the archaeological site where the first c. 1630 Alden House was located. That property is owned by the Duxbury Schools Department, which was an enthusiastic co-sponsor of the nomination. The John and Priscilla Alden Family Sites in Duxbury, Massachusetts, were both part of the 1627/28 100-acre grant to Mayflower passenger John Alden and his family. No other physical site is so prominently linked with specific Mayflower passengers. The site acquired national historic and cultural significance thanks to the impact of “The Courtship of Miles Standish,” a poem about the
courtship of John Alden and Priscilla Mullins published in 1858 by their descendant Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. The desire of late nineteenth and early twentieth century Americans for a more human, family-focused story about the cultural and historical origins
of the United States made The Courtship the most popular national origins story in American folklore. The poem’s popularity made the surviving Alden House the most important physical site associated with John and Priscilla and a focus of on-going national
public interest, especially since descendants continued to own and live in the house. No other sites are so prominently associated with John Alden (c.1589/9-1687), a person of national significance in the U.S. colonial period. The ship’s cooper on the Mayflower and a founder of the Plymouth Colony, Alden held positions of high economic and political importance for almost the entire seventy-two year history of Plymouth Colony (16201692), a span of public service unrivaled in seventeenth century colonial America and perhaps in the entire colonial period. He served the colony in almost every available capacity save that of governor (although he served as deputy or acting governor on two occasions).

Sweet had a positive impact on all players ——
A not-so-Sweet M feeling
T
he decision not to renew the contract of boys lacrosse coach Chris Sweet has stirred much controversy over the last week, since news of the decision leaked out. Like any personnel decision, there’s a lot going on here that we don’t know about. And the school administration certainly has a right to offer –– or not offer –– contracts to whom they so choose. But some aspects of what’s unfolded over the last week or so leaves a bad taste in the mouth. First, the news of the non-renewal of Sweet’s year-to-year contract wasn’t made immediately public. According to two School Committee members, news of the decision was revealed in a closed door executive session of the board. That’s very borderline when it comes to the state’s Open Meeting Law –– although the details of contract negotiations are not public, the employment status of a school employee, in this case a coach, should be. Duxbury is a tight-knit community, and fiercely proud of its championship high school lacrosse team, so this news was bound to get out eventually. All that’s happened now is that parents were more enraged to hear the news through leaks and rumors, rather than a clear, open statement. In fact, Sweet himself said last week that he hadn’t “formally” received notice from the district that he wouldn’t be returning to the sidelines next year. This week, he added that he and the superintendent have never met face to face. DHS’s athletic director Thom Holdgate said there were no allegations of misconduct discussed at Sweet’s most recent performance review –– on Sweet’s public record, at least, are nothing but championships. And now lawyers are involved, never a good sign. At the very least, this doesn’t seem like a good way to conduct business. The matter still has to be resolved, and maybe this will all make sense somewhere down the road. But for now, it seems like some of the current furor from parents and players could have been avoided had the decision been handled with more tact. –– J. Graeber

y name is Tripp Neville and I am a 2001 Duxbury High School graduate and was a player/captain for Coach Sweet. I went on to play lacrosse at Gettysburg College and currently coach the Bentley Men’s Varsity Lacrosse Team. I believe, as you look more into the current situation with Coach Sweet you, as an administration, are going to find an overwhelming amount of people agreeing with Mr. Bush [see letter, facing page]. As a player, not a disgruntled parent, I can tell you without any hesitation, that Coach Sweet had an enormous positive impact on the majority of his players. He demanded you give 100 percent on and off the field. His impact on the field can easily be proven with his overall record and state championships. However his positive impact off the field, I believe, was not taken into consideration when making this decision. I can only speak for myself, however I believe most current and past players share the same feelings as I do. I can confidently say Coach Sweet has had a direct impact on the person I am today. He builds character in every one of his players and demands performance in life, the classroom and on the field. He shapes players into men and prepares them for their future. Winning aside, his skill as a coach is embodied in over a decade of players. As someone who has remained close to the current
situation with Coach Sweet, I believe it would not only be unfair to dismiss him without hearing the majority’s side, but it would be a travesty of the administration. As competitive athletics go, there is always going to be someone let down about playing time, making the team, or not being involved. The fact of the matter is that as an administration, it is your duty and your job to look past this and find the facts. Have you taken the chance to speak with any previous players about Coach Sweet? Have you spoken to some of the parents close to the matter who think differently than, what I’m sure is, the minority? Have you at least heard what Coach Sweet has to say? It seems, as an administration, you are being pushed around by a small number of overzealous parents. “Going in a different direction” would be a cowardice move and would be viewed as another letdown by the administration. You have the chance to make things right by hearing both sides, listening to past players, and inevitably making the correct decision. This has gone on long enough. It has embarrassed everyone involved
and has cast a dark shadow on Duxbury. In regards to the parents in the “anti-Sweet” camp, as a player and as a coach I have witnessed this before and it never worked out well. It alienates your son from his peers, makes the coach look foolish and won’t succeed as long as the majority is behind the coach. I believe in this case you are going to find an overwhelming amount of Sweet supporters and individuals wishing to be heard. It is a shame and embarrassment that this is how frustrations are dealt with and it is selfish to try and oust a coach who has become legendary in a local sense. I urge you to do the right thing, hear both sides, and come to a quick and concise decision. Tripp Neville DHS Class of 2001 [This letter, as with most of the letters on this page relating to Coach Sweet, was also sent to the Superintendent. -Ed.]
Coach decision was ‘short-sighted’ ————
I
’m writing to ask that parents of children enrolled in the Duxbury school system, closely examine the issue of the dismissal of DHS lacrosse coach, Chris Sweet. My son, Brian, a DHS graduate, class of 2001, had the privilege of playing for Coach Sweet. I also had the privilege of working with Chris through the boosters and in fund raising. I want people to understand some of the benefits that Chris has brought to our kids through the DHS lacrosse program. Chris takes his teams out of state each year to play against the best competition in the country. He has taken this program from its humble roots to national recognition. The boys also get a taste of what college sports are like and the independence of a “road trip.” Both of my sons played college lacrosse and I can report that Duxbury is not only known for its quality players, it is known for its quality kids. I challenge the administration to compare the colleges that Chris’ kids get admitted to with the list from
any other segment of the school population. The people who should be most alarmed by this short sighted decision are the parents of young lacrosse players in town who may lose the chance to play for this fine man.
These are the kids who will be punished the greatest by this decision. John Prescott Quincy
Take note of health care debate
T
o our seniors: Our congressman will be voting on a health care bill that they say will not increase the deficit, but add 46 million people to the new insurance plan. This letter is to our seniors. The cost cutting will result in rationing to those on Medicare. Please inform yourselves on how this plan affects you. Congressman Delahunt invites your questions and calls on his DC line, 202-225-3111. You can also call the AARP with questions or concerns. You need to act now, tell him to protect the seniors. We deserve it, we have played by the rules, paid into the system, don’t ration our care. Ann Barvenik Stoney Brook Circle

Duxbury Clipper
Welcome to the neighborhood ——————
W
e are responding to the letter in the July 15 Clipper, entitled “An unwelcomed change.” We have lived on our street for 30 years and would like to voice our opinion as to whether or not our lovely neighborhood has been “ruined.” We are the neighbors who are most impacted by the construction of the new house referred to in the letter since our deck overlooks its western facade. While the author has every right to her opinion about this new house, we would like to set the record straight about what we feel is a misrepresentation of some of the facts and a very unfair characterization of the wonderful people who have built it. In addition, we strongly object to the inference in the cartoon that we neighbors share the author’s opinion about this new construction. Nothing could be further from the truth. It is true that the original house was torn down and the lot was cleared to make way for the new construction. However, the new house, with the exception of the garage, has been built over the exact footprint of the old building. The old plantings were painstakingly removed, wintered over and most of them now replaced on the lot, along with many attractive new trees and bushes. The fence, which of course does look bright right now because it is new, has not been varnished and will darken with age just like the old fence did. The beach vegetation at the end of the street has not been touched in years. The old
jetty was broken and dangerous and was therefore replaced with a wooden dock no different than many of the docks that line Duxbury Bay. All of this construction was done in compliance with the strict building regulations Duxbury has in place to protect the beauty of our town. The result is a stunningly beautiful home that we are fortunate to overlook. When this house was still in the planning stages, the new owners invited us to look at the building plans. They shared with us that they made a change in the original architect’s design to position the garage so it would not block our treasured view of Duxbury Bay. These are generous, thoughtful and caring people who have built this lovely home to enjoy with their large family. They have been residents of Duxbury for nearly 20 years and love this
town just as much as any of us. We are heartbroken to have them so unjustly characterized in print as people who are “in some Hamptons-style race about who has the biggest and best house, car, yacht or dinner reservations.” We have always welcomed anyone who wants to walk down our street and partake of its beauty. The songbirds are still here along with a host of other wildlife, including turkeys, rabbits, deer, foxes, ospreys, shorebirds, terns and our very favorites, great blue herons! We wholeheartedly welcome our new neighbors to our special street. We hope that they will be as happy here as we have been for the past 30 years. Rick and Anne Bowes Harden Hill Road
No cookie-cutter homes here
I
magine my surprise upon reading in the Clipper that for the past twenty three years I have been living in a “cookie cutter housing development savaged” (no less) from a “bucolic (and probably unprofitable) farming community.” All this time I’ve thought I lived in a rural, wooded area with a variety of well maintained houses set on comfortable acre lots. My neighbors are firefighters, police, businessmen and women and professionals of one sort of another. Our neighborhood
is friendly and supportive, safe for pets and children and private without being isolated. We here in our savage outpost enjoy walking trails in hundreds of acres of conservation land, sparkling ponds for fishing and little or no commercial traffic. Since Ms. Christine Hill’s evening walk has been “ruined,” perhaps she should descend from the rarefied air of Washington Street and experience the richness and diversity of life in the rest of Duxbury.

Coach taught more than the game ––––––––––
I
recently caught wind of the potential termination of Coach Sweet from the lacrosse program. To be perfectly honest, I can’t imagine a more unsubstantiated decision. I was lucky enough to have Coach Sweet as my coach for three years during high school. As a life-long hockey player, I had a lot to learn about the game of lacrosse when I started playing as a sophomore. Coach Sweet was a great help in teaching me a game I was completely unfamiliar with. Thanks in large part to his tutelage, I was able to be a part of the town’s first state title in lacrosse in 2002. He was always sympathetic to players’ needs regardless of their skill level. The best example I can provide of his concern for all

players: he made sure that every team member got playing time in our state championship game my senior year. My final memories of attending Duxbury High School have to do with lacrosse season and Coach Sweet. They are some of the fondest memories of my four years in high school. State titles aside, to re-
move him as coach of the program would be irrational and unjustified. Coach Sweet was one of the finest coaches I had throughout all of my years in sports, not just lacrosse. I’m confident all players who were coached by him would feel the same way. Matthew Lyons Former DHS LAX player

‘You should be embarrassed’ A By Tim Bush
s I understand it, Duxbury High School has decided against “renewing” Coach Sweet’s contract as head lacrosse coach and has instead decided to “move in a new direction.” The parents and administration responsible for this decision should be ashamed. Let’s not shy away from the truth of the situation. Disgruntled parents caused enough of a stir for the administration to feel inclined to make such a move. You should both be embarrassed. Let me take a step back. I am a 2001 graduate of DHS. I played varsity football, hockey and baseball and went on to play Division I collegiate baseball at Northeastern University. Yes, you read that correctly, I did not play lacrosse. I did not have the privilege of playing for Coach Sweet, but I have known many many players who did. I can tell you I was and still am envious of every player who had the chance to play for him. As I have grown up to be a young adult I can look back and say three things have had the biggest impact on who I am as a person and where I am in my career. Family, athletics, and academics in that order. Athletics helped shaped my work ethic, my character, my values and my competitiveness. My role models were coaches. Not every coach, but the great ones. The ones who truly cared about me even if I wasn’t in my uniform. The ones who were willing to teach me more than just fundamentals of a sport. The ones who wanted to help me succeed as I progressed through life even when they were no longer my coach. I can tell you with absolute certainty that Coach Sweet is one of these great coaches. As administrators I’m sure you deal with many disgruntled parents. That’s part of the job. It’s also I know you heard from the part of your job disgruntled few, but did you reach to realize people get caught up in out to hear the stories of the vast a moment. To majority? You are not employed to realize that certain do the easy thing, you are employed emotions may get to do the right thing even if that involved and certain means standing up to vocal parents. stories are told, and it’s your job to sift through these stories to get to the truth of the situation. So Mr. and Mrs. Administrator, let me ask you a few questions. For every one disgruntled parent there are 10 who will tell you Coach Sweet has had an enormous impact on their son’s life and high school career, so you spoke to these folks, right? For every one player who is angry about not winning a post-season award there are 20 players who would want their own children to play for Coach Sweet, so you reached out to them, right? I know you heard from the disgruntled few, but did you reach out to hear the stories of the vast majority? You are not employed to do the easy thing, you are employed to do the right thing even if that means standing up to vocal parents. You can hide behind the statement of wanting to “move in a new direction”, but I must ask, why? On the field Coach Sweet has led the lacrosse team to six straight State Championships and seven overall creating lifelong memories for so many players. The lacrosse team has had more players earn scholarships than any other sport at DHS, a process that Coach Sweet is most certainly involved in. To the disgruntled parents, you give Duxbury a bad name. It is your kids who live their life with a sense of entitlement. What happens when your child doesn’t make their college lacrosse team? What happens when he isn’t named to the All Big East team? What happens when his employer doesn’t give him a raise? Do you try to have all these people fired? Or do you look in the mirror and tell yourself maybe there isn’t always someone else to blame? To all the youth lacrosse players in town, I am sorry that you will not have the chance to play for Coach Sweet should the administration stand by their current assessment. The high school administration is doing you a terrible disservice. I have no problem with each coach being evaluated after a season, and I’m sure there are always some parents who can tell compelling stories of each of the coach’s flaws. I also can accept that some parents need to be heard. All we can ask is that you take the time to follow through with a fair evaluation. And a fair evaluation consists of speaking to people on both sides of the aisle. I strongly encourage a full and fair evaluation in this case, because when you do you will hear a dramatically different story than the one that was told by the disgruntled few.

wenty five were in attendance at the Rotary Club breakfast meeting held at the Duxbury Senior Center with President George Prebola presiding. Immediate past District Governor Steve Silverman gave an inspirational talk about Rotary and how it is a vehicle to make a difference in one’s community. He said that Rotary, with its sources and available funding, can make a difference as evidenced by its eliminating polio in most of the world in cooperation with the world health organizations. The Duxbury Rotary Club awards scholarships each year to a deserving Duxbury boy or girl, assisted Razia Jan in building a school for Afghan girls, and helped Chris Blake and Dan Hill build a dormitory for orphan children in Uganda. All the foregoing takes place amid fellowship and fun of the Duxbury Rotary Club. Plans are underway for the annual Duck Race which will be held at the Bluefish River Bridge on Sept. 19.

The Gurnet Theatre Project was founded in the winter of 2005 and that summer the group put on its first production, “The Illusion.” The company has put on free shows at the monument every summer since then. Producing an outdoor show was something founders Brian C. Fahey and Michelle Kordis Hatfield thought the community would enjoy and could take part in. “We knew we wanted to do an outdoor show,” Fahey said. The monument is a nice spot for performing and actors and guests alike always enjoy coming back, Fahey added. “It’s the biggest stage you can be on,” “MacBeth” Di-

This year’s offering by the Gurnet Theatre Project, “MacBeth,” will be a more traditional take on the Bard than last year’s “The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged), a farcical comedy that includes “The Othello Rap” and a 30-second version of “Hamlet.” Pictured are Brendan Rogers as Macduff and Victor Shopov as Macbeth.

rector Michael Duncan Smith said of performing outdoors at the monument. This is Smith’s third year with the company, but his first year directing. He has been in the past two summer productions and has worked with the Project in Boston during the year. Smith learned last summer that he would direct this year’s show at the monument. After being approached by Fahey and former director Kristen Schnibbee, Smith said he would “absolutely love to
direct a show.” His play of choice? “MacBeth.” The Project has performed several other Shakespeare plays, including The “Complete Works of William Shakespeare,” “As You Like It,” and “Much Ado About Nothing.” MacBeth will be the first Shakespeare tragedy, however, that the group has ever performed. “We decided it would be a good idea to breach that,” Smith said of never having performed a tragedy. MacBeth is also the third short-
est Shakespeare play, and the Project hopes to perform it in two and a half hours. The company posted open auditions in Boston and Duxbury during the spring. Most of the 15 member cast comes from around Boston this year. The project has been doing more work in Boston during the fall, winter, and spring, which attracted talents from outside Duxbury for the summer show. However, the project still tries to keep it’s roots based in Duxbury at the monu-

Kathy lost, but I knew the loss was enormous. “What’s her name?” I asked. “Coco.” “Like chocolate, or Coco Chanel?” Either would work. With Coco’s swirls of brown and creamy white, she looks like hot chocolate and whipped cream. But the truth is that she looks a little more like Coco Chanel, saucy and full of life. Paul Fortini, Kathy and Ken’s son, died tragically in New York City about a year ago. His young life was continued on page 4

Music in Paul’s memory continued from page one
filled with art, passion, and intensity. Talented in theater, instrumental music and voice, Paul also pressed himself in athletics. His dad told me that Paul was a member of the first rowing team in Duxbury to win a gold medal. Dan Kostreva went on to tell me that Paul had been “in” at the first planning thoughts, the first creative bloom for the Alumni Symphony in Duxbury. “We were walking down the sidewalk in New York after my daughter’s performance,” Dan explained. “We just started kicking around the idea.” So Paul was in at the beginning, a summer orchestra for Duxbury and other local student musicians to keep their “chops” strong, and play some beautiful music at the same time. The Southeast Alumni Symphony Orchestra was born. The idea, quite simply, is to give some playing time to college-aged musicians in a venue for playing beautiful music, with the occasional gap in the sections made up by not so college-aged musicians. Robert C. Babb returns to conduct the orchestra this year, and the concert program (like last year) includes some rip-roaring symphony music that will satisfy your soul. Beethoven’s “Egmont Overture,” Schubert’s “Unfinished Symphony,” Dvorak’s “Slavonic Dance No 8,” and other works by Chaminade and Weber. Rip-roaring? Not the fussiest musical term, but the point of the program for audience and players alike is to have some fun, and play some of the music that brought us into music in the first place. A fitting tribute to Paul, who was a gifted and dedicated teacher of younger students while he was at Duxbury High School. The concert is at the Duxbury Performing Arts Center Wednesday, Aug. 5 at 8 p.m. Tickets are $15 for the orchestra section ($12 for Seniors and Students), and $10 for Mezzanine seats (students and seniors $8). All net proceeds will go to the Paul F. Fortini Foundation. Buy your tickets at the door, or at the Depot Street Market, Farfar’s, Music Unlimited, or the Studio. This year, believe it or not, I’ll be joining the orchestra to play triangle for the Dvorak piece. Triangle players dream of Slavonic Dance No. 8, a dazzling showcase for a percussionist longing to bring the sparkle of a sun-dipped dew-drop to the concert stage. Coco, I hope, will be pleased. I know she’ll be close enough to hear.

ment, Smith added. Actors are always really excited to perform outdoors, Smith said. The group rehearses Monday through Thursday and every Sunday the cast travels to the monument and practices outside. This summer is a little different from past summers, because the monument is otherwise closed to visitors. Smith had to obtain a key to unlock the gate, and must lock it up once all the cast members have arrived. “I become porter at the gate,” Smith said of his duties. The company also had to obtain a special permit to perform at the monument. “It’s sort of a shame [the monument is closed],” Fahey said. Even with the park closure, the group looks forward to performing there this summer.
“It’s one of those things for an actor,” Smith said. “It’s 5 o’clock, the sun is out, and you have an entire acre to play with. It’s a lot of fun.” The Project is excited to perform for families and children of all ages at the show. “It’s a Shakespeare play, but we found some moments to break Danielle Muehlen and Victor Shopov as Lady through the ordiMacbeth and Macbeth. nary,” Smith said. He hinted that this and the audience will be very year’s play will use much of involved in the play. the area around the monument
Transpacific yacht race Richard Blatterman of South River Lane East, and his son, Tom, DHS ’02, recently completed the 45th biannual Transpacific Yacht Race, which begins at Point Fermin, south of Los Angeles, and finishes at the Diamond Head Lighthouse in Hawaii. A Blatterman family tradition, Richard’s dad has sailed in 14 Transpacs, starting in the early 1950’s. Richard sailed the first of his nine races with his father in 1969, and was happy to be aboard “Between the Sheets,” a Jeanneau 50, for Tom’s first Transpac. Father and son had
a great time despite the slow wind conditions in the beginning, making for over 15 days of racing. After 2,225 nautical miles, they crossed
the finish line second in their class. Both are looking forward to the next Transpac in 2011.
Registration open for Minisoccer Registration is still open for Duxbury Youth Soccer’s Minisoccer. Minisoccer is fun, healthy, team-based, and instructional, and is designed with young kids in mind. Minisoccer is for players in the following age groups: Children born between Aug. 1, 2003 and July 31, 2005 will play in the “Under-6” age group. Children born between Aug. 1, 2001 and July 31, 2003 will play in the “Under-8” age group.

En Plein Air at the ACM A
t a time when artists have a vast variety of digital tools and high tech options available to them, three local artists who work outside, directly in front of their subject, will exhibit at The Art Complex Museum in Duxbury. Their exhibit, En Plein Air, comes from a French expression which means “in the open air,” and is used to describe the act of painting outdoors. Artists have long painted outdoors, but in the mid-1800s working in natural light became particularly important to the Barbizon School and the Impressionists. The popularity of painting en plein air increased in the 1870s with the introduction of paints in tubes. Previously, each painter made his own paints by grinding and mixing dry pigment powders with linseed oil. Kimberlee Alemian of Co-
hasset has been drawing and painting since childhood. She received her BFA from Massachusetts College of Art having studied with George Nick, Paul Rahilly, and Rob Moore. She received her MFA from Boston University, studying with David Aronson, John Moore, Richard Raiseli and Graham Nickson. Sue Charles of Marshfield graduated from Boston University with a BFA in painting and credits her instructors,
John Wilson, Reed Kay and David Aronson with giving her a love of drawing. Vincent Crotty is an Irishborn artist living in Boston. Born and raised in Kanturk, County Cork, a small town in southwest Ireland, Vincent began painting at age seven and was inspired by his mother’s interest in art and the beauty of his natural surroundings. After secondary school, he spent five long years working in a factory, during the bleak economic conditions of Ireland in the 1980s. Vincent then turned to painting at age 22 with a fierce commitment, as he says, “to make my living – one way or another – with paint.” This exhibit, full of color and spontaneity, is scheduled from Aug. 22 through Nov. 8. A reception is scheduled for Sept. 20, 1:30-3:30 pm.

On her own
DAA summer show approaches
Mark your calendars for the perfect summer punctuation – the Midsummer Member Art Show The Duxbury Art Association 92nd Annual Midsummer Art Show at The Ellison Center for the Arts starts on Sunday Aug. 2 with festivities that run one week through Sunday, Aug 9. “The Midsummer Member show is far less intimidating that our Winter Juried Show,” says Executive Director, Mary Beth Brown. “This show celebrates our long standing mission to the artist in everyone. We have over 400 entries from
young artists to adults in various mediums (oils/acrylics, watercolors, drawing/pastels/ prints, photography, digital photography, three dimensional and crafts). While every submission is judged, all work is displayed. That in itself is a great achievement to be in the company of young, aspiring and established artists from all over New England.” Artwork is accepted on Sunday Aug. 2 and Monday Aug. 3. The show opens free to the public on Thursday, Aug. 6 and runs through Sunday Aug. 9. A studio sale is also open to pick up “must haves” from
area artists and crafters. The Benefit Cocktail Reception, on Friday, Aug. 7 is an exciting social event open to all adults. Adult award winners are recognized at this event and young artists enjoy their own awards reception on Saturday, Aug. 8. Tickets to the benefit cocktail party are $30 each and can be purchased by calling 781-934-2731 ext. 4.
