Bus headache Schools continuing to work out the kinks from start time change By Justin Graeber, Clipper Editor [email protected]

Even though the vote to change the school start times was several months ago, the issue is still causing tension in the community and on the School Committee itself. The latest bone of contention since the School Committee voted in February to, in essence, flip the start times of the high school and middle school with Alden Elementary has been the buses. Superintendent of School Susan Skeiber said the district did have a problem with children being picked up before 7 a.m. –– something school officials promised wouldn’t happen when the time change was first implemented.

“We very quickly rectified that,” Skeiber said, adding that they’ve since received notification from the bus company that the problem is solved. She said the problem has been traffic, saying that the worst congestion is around 8-8:15, which is the new start time for the older students. Skeiber said that the district has reached out to the police department to discuss possible solutions. Committee member John Heinstadt asked what could be causing additional traffic. Skeiber said there isn’t an easy answer, although more parents and students could be driving because of an increase in

No deal yet for police chief, town By Justin Graeber, Clipper Editor [email protected]

The town and the attorney for former Duxbury Police Chief Mark DeLuca are still working on finalizing a settlement, tentatively agreed upon last Monday, that would end DeLuca’s tenure in Duxbury and bring closure to an issue that has sharply divided residents and public officials alike. Town Counsel Robert Troy said this week that there was still “some additional input needed” on the document. He said he had drafted the document and sent it to Duxbury Town Hall for review. From

there it would be sent to DeLuca’s attorney, Gerald McAuliffe, and if both sides are satisfied, the agreement would be signed and executed. Board of Selectmen Chairwoman Betsy Sullivan said she could not comment on the settlement agreement specifically until it was signed. Sullivan said that MacDonald has not given the board any specifics on how the town would seek a permanent replacement for DeLuca, but she added she wanted any future search committee to “involve the broader spectrum of continued on page 17

Morrissey on display at Bumpus

T

he children’s book illustrations of Scituate artist Dean Morrissey will be featured at the Helen Bumpus Gallery in Duxbury during November and December. Inspired early in his life by Disney matte paintings and comic book heroes and later by such masters as Vermeer, Rembrandt, Pyle and N. C. Wyeth, Morrissey began painting full-time in the late 1970’s and worked for many years as a free-lance book illustrator for various publishers. He is self-taught and considers the demands of cover illustration to have been his art school. Along with illustrating the work of various authors of children’s books, he has created his own stories as well. He was awarded the Society of Illustrators Gold Medal for “The Great Kettles” and the Chesley Award for “The Light Ship.” Entitled “A Cluttered Room,” Morrissey’s exhibit will display the original artwork that was used to illustrate several of his books. The Helen Bumpus Gallery is located on the main level of the Duxbury Free Library, 77 Alden St. The exhibit may be viewed during regular library hours. Morrissey will discuss his work at a reception to be held

Budget, communication high on superintendent’s agenda By Justin Graeber, Clipper Editor [email protected]

Superintendent of School Susan Skeiber wants to focus on the budget, 21st century skills and communication in the coming year, according to a summary of her goals presented at the last School Committee meeting, Skeiber said that her budget goal is to keep the district moving in a positive direction despite the tough times. “I think in these economic times, that is a significantly important part of my job,” she said. Specifically, Skeiber has been asked by the town manager to prepare two budgets, one at “level service,” meaning that no new programs or staff will be added but fixed costs like utilities and health insurance will be accounted for. The second budget will be a 3 percent cut from last year’s figures. “I see this as dismantling some things,” she said of the cuts. Committee Chairman George Cipolletti asked if Skeiber could prepare a menustyle presentation of any potential budget reductions, similar to what she did last year. In addition to the budget difficulties looming next year, Skeiber warned that the governor is considering using his 9C powers, meaning that he would make cuts from this year’s (fiscal year 2010) budget rather than next year’s (fiscal year 2011.) Maureen Connolly asked if any creative ideas to increase revenue were being considered. Skeiber said the committees of the past have shied away from things like selling advertising space, but desperate times may call for desper-

ate measures. “It may be a new day and new time,” she said. Skeiber said that as she builds the budget, she will keep the district’s priorities in mind –– things like technology and 21st century skills –– and things that are important to the community, like class size. “The most important thing that happens in education is in the classroom,” she said. The second goal on the list is a focus on 21st century skills. Different school officials have different definitions of 21st century skills but a memo from Massachusetts Department of Education Commissioner Mitchell Chester described them this way: “To me it means the application of academic content knowledge ... and skills needed to communicate effectively and persuasively, develop solutions to real world problems, and work productively by managing time and resources and collaborating with others.” Skeiber said technology can be “the tool that gets you there.” “All of these students are going to need these [skills] as they move on into this rapidly changing world,” she said. Some School Committee members asked if the 21st century skills movement was a pushback from the educational community against standardized testing. “I do think that there are other skills that we aren’t testing for,” Skeiber said. “We’re marching to that drummer and there are other things kids

need.” However, she said the term really comes from the business community, which is looking for problem solving skills in new employees. “We’re seeing jobs going away, and new jobs coming in,” she said. “We know that by the time students graduate from college, there will be jobs we haven’t even thought of. Information is just exploding.” The final goal is to improve communication. Cipolletti said Skeiber should look at some of the snafus the district has had over the last year –– like the start time and high-end learner program issues –– and develop a template for communicating with the larger community when new programs are implemented. “How do we get feedback about it, how do we make sure the inclusiveness we want to have is actually accomplished,” he said. Member John Heinstadt said that he’d like to see a more quantifiable goal, for example, trying to get a certain percentage of the district’s parents on an e-mail list. “Communication these days relies so much on new technology,” Heinstadt said. “It almost seems like this has to be a communication/technology plan.” Cipolletti said a good plan will go a long way toward establishing better relationships with parents. “We can do better and it’s worthwhile to explore how to do that,” he said.

A race for a good cause

Wednesday, October 14, 2009

continued from page one

The idea of a an extreme cross continent race appealed to Nishimoto, who did a semester abroad as well as a semester at sea in college. “I’ve always loved traveling,” he said. “It was the right time, right place.” But the Africa Rally isn’t a normal vacation. A requirement of the race is that the teams (Nishimoto is trekking with a friend from his hometown of Chicago) have to use a car with an engine no larger than 1 liter – comparable to a small sedan like a Honda Civic, a car more suited to cruising the urban jungle than offroading in the Sahara. “It’s basically a lawn mower,” Nishimoto said. “These are little tiny biscuits of cars.” Teams can bring a bigger engine if they raise more money –– the entrance fee is 1,000 English pounds –– but Nishimoto and his friend are sticking to the more challenging route. “I’ve never done anything like this before,” he said. “The amount of misadventures and stories we’ll be able to accumulate while helping people ––I can’t imagine anything better.” The race, however, isn’t just about adventure. The entry fee goes to a charity –– Nishimoto has chosen “Send a Cow,” which supports sustainable farming in Africa and any additional money raised can go to a charity of the racers’ choosing. Nishimoto and his friend are aiming to raise 5,000 pounds before the race starts, and he will donate some of the excess to Crossroads for Kids, where he’s worked as Teen Program Director since moving to Duxbury three

DSU news

Alden School: Upcoming Parent Teacher Conferences are creating half days for Alden students on Wednesday, Oct. 23 and Thursday, Oct. 24. This means Alden children will be dismissed at 10:15 a.m. The DSU is willing to offer a half day program on these two days if at least 25 children sign up on each day. Alden students will be collected from school at 10:15 a.m. and walked to the DSU. We will offer a rotation of four activity stations that includes indoor and outdoor games, craft activities and game room. Homework help will also be offered. Each child should bring their own lunch. Our program will dismiss at 2:45 p.m. to meet buses or pick up in our parking lot. Each day is offered for a member fee of $20 per day. Non-member friends are also welcome to attend for $30 each day. Early sign up is required along with payment. All families will be given one week notice if this program is cancelled.

DMS and DHS: The DSU Halloween Ghost Tour and Party is Friday, Oct. 23 from 4:45-7 p.m. Join local historian Patrick Browne of the Duxbury Rural and Historical Society for a tour of Mayflower Cemetery, learn about the historic grave sites, hear some ghostly tales and, who knows, perhaps even snap a photograph of one of the cemetery’s phantom inhabitants! Some of these stories are merely stray bits of folklore, bandied about for generations, while others are based on documented fact. Participants are encouraged to bring a digital camera and conduct a little improvised “ghost hunting.” Who knows what might turn up on screen? If the ghost tour is not your thing, join us back at the DSU at 6 p.m. for Halloween games and fun. $10 for members and $20 for non-members. Advance sign up and payment is required.

Function Room Available The School Committee met in a new arrangement on Wednesday, following up on a suggestion from a consultant that they meet in more of a roundtable pattern. The new seating chart didn’t seem to make much of a difference, however, as the issue of the start time change still provoked harsh words toward the end of the meeting.

Buses a concern at schools continued from page one

bus fees. She said the issue is likely not the volume of traffic, but the timing. “I’ve been in it and I don’t see it as any worse than it was last year,” Skeiber said. School Committee Chairman George Cipolletti said that he’s talked to a few high school students, who told him the traffic’s no worse than it’s been in the past. Business Administrator Susan Nauman said there are currently about 100 less riders, compared to last year. She said, however, that those numbers could be skewed because officials don’t aggressively check the buses for ride tickets over the first few weeks –– and once they do, more students may come into the office to get their passes. Skeiber said one of the things causing problems could be a five-six minute delay as the buses leave the middle school and high school. “That’s a significant piece for us,” she said. She said the bus company is working on redoing the route, but it’s not quite complete. “It’s close,” she said. Skeiber said when she was principal of Alden, students would often be waiting in their buses for up to 15 minutes. Now, the students file into the Performing Arts Center. “That’s certainly a much more enjoyable atmosphere to be in,” she said, adding that students are only in the PAC for less than 10 minutes. Other students come into the corridor and wait for about the same amount of time. “That piece of it is very much the same as it’s always been done,” Skeiber said. School Committee member Maureen Connolly said she was concerned about the trouble with the buses at both the beginning and the end of the school day. “I really think it’s unacceptable that we’re providing transportation for these stu-

dents and they’re still late,” Connolly said. Skeiber said that’s just what officials are working toward. “I don’t disagree with you,” she said. “We want to adjust those buses so they’re all in here on time ... My concern is your concern.” Cipolletti said that even if traffic has always been a

problem, and the schools have always had an adjustment period for buses at the beginning of the school year, they should always strive for perfection. “Regardless of whether it’s been bad forever, that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try to make it better,” he said.

Start time surveys spark harsh words By Justin Graeber, Clipper Editor [email protected]

The issue of student surveys, meant to establish a baseline of data on the start time change, has been a bone of contention among School Committee members. When the committee reviewed a legal document at the most recent meeting about the school district’s agreement with Boston University, committee member Maureen Connolly was unhappy that it did not contain language specifically barring survey data from being shared with outside researchers. “I’m not seeing what we asked – I don’t see that in here,” she said. Superintendent Susan Skeiber said that she discussed the issue with the school’s lawyer. Because the survey’s were done anonymously, and the survey was voluntary, there’s no liability issue. In addition, the most information that would ever be used outside the district is a few lines in an abstract by a doctoral student. Even if those few lines are used, Duxbury would not be identified, the school will be referred to as “a New England elementary school” only. “I don’t have any reason to doubt her,” said School Committee Chairman George Cipolletti. The legal opinion did not satisfy Connolly. “It’s legal, but is it ethi-

cal,” she said. “I just want things done in the right way so nobody will have a lawsuit.” Anne Ward said there really is no legal issue because the survey was anonymous. “We’re not releasing any personal information,” she said. “This is about as innocent as we can get.” John Heinstadt said he didn’t see the harm of making an in-writing promise that the data wouldn’t be used outside the district. “In my opinion what we gain is maybe a higher level of cooperation with parents,” he said. When Connolly continued to press the issue, and the meeting approached 11 p.m., Karen Wong grew visibly frustrated. “Is there nothing that can be done in any aspect of this start time change that will get you to give it a chance?” Wong said. “The superintendent’s integrity is being slammed.” Connolly said she was concerned about the process. “I’m not trying to block it, I’m just trying to get things right,” she said. Heinstadt said that the committee’s meeting with a consultant to work on communication issues must not have sunk in. “That’s a personal attack and I resent it,” he said. “Obviously we learned nothing at our last meeting.”

New law threatens thrift shop

O

By Lydia Hart, Special to the Clipper

n Tuesday, Sept. 28, consignors and shoppers were greeted with an unusual sight as they entered the shop –– caution tape across the clothes. The day before, 14 shop volunteers gathered for a seminar presented by a representative of the Consumer Product Safety Commission who spoke about the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act and offered suggestions on how to

If you enjoy living in Duxbury, then you’ll love dining in Marshfield

Thrift shop news live with this new law. It was passed by Congress and signed into law by President Bush in reaction to massive children’s product recalls during the 2007 holiday season. Though the CPSIA became law on Aug.14, 2008, most of it took effect on Feb. 10, 2009. It requires that all children’s products (including clothing, bedding, cribs, toys, books and furniture) be tested for lead levels. The CPSC issued a press release in January that said: “The new safety law does not require resellers to test children’s products in inventory for compliance with the lead limit before they are sold. However, resellers cannot sell children’s products that exceed the lead limit and therefore should avoid products that are likely to have lead content, unless they have testing or other information to indicate the products being sold have less than the new limit. Those resellers that do sell products in violation of the new limits could face civil and/or criminal penalties.” The CPSC and each state’s attorney general are empowered to enforce the law. This law poses a threat to resale and thrift shops across the U.S. because, unlike many consumer laws, the CPSIA does not exempt any products manufactured prior to the date of legislation. The ripple effect is becoming enormous. Natural toys, clothes, shoes, bicycles, telescopes, books, etc. are all in question, and not only are resale and thrift shops affected, so are eBay and Craigslist sellers, cottage industries, yard sales – you get the idea. The standards were originally interpreted to apply only to new products, but now the CPSC says they apply to used items as well. What does all this mean for the Duxbury Thrift Shop? The CPSIA will have a direct impact on what we are able to sell at the shop. After moving into our new location last January, our Board became aware of the enormity of trying to make sense of these seemingly endless restrictions. We joined NARTS (National Association of Resale and Thrift Shops) because it is at the forefront of the fight to reform the CPSIA. It has been working closely with the CPSC and is helping its members stay abreast of

www.emberdining.com current recalls. Ignorance of the law is no excuse. One fine for our shop could put us out of business entirely, affecting not only our volunteers, consignors and customers, but those DHS graduates who benefit every year from the proceeds of our scholarship fund. After the seminar on Sept. 28, I was able to speak directly with our CPSC rep’s supervisor in Washington, D.C., so we now have a somewhat better understanding of what we need to look for when taking in children’s clothing, toys and books. For the first three days, until we had a chance to thoroughly go through what we now have in inventory, we put a hold on taking in or selling any children’s items. The scope of this legislation is not something that can be immediately understood and assimilated. It still will take us some time to “digest” all this new information. We are trying to develop some guidelines that will be helpful to our customers and our volunteers. We want to make sure you have the right information to assist you in making good choices when you bring children’s items in for consignment. Please bear with the volunteers at the shop, this is a learning experience for us all. If you are bringing in children’s clothes, be aware that looking over them takes a bit longer now than any other clothing. I hope those of you who bring in non-children’s clothes will understand and be patient. We are thinking of ways to iron out the kinks, and will keep you posted. For now, however, we will no long take for consignment children’s toys, metal jewelry, furniture and stuffed animals. (Those stuffed animals which already bedeck our shelves are there for decorative purposes only, and are not for sale.) The limit on children’s books is tough to decipher but, for now,

our understanding is that anything published prior to 1985 should not be sold. If there are items that need to be removed from the shop, each consignor will be given a call to let them know that we can no longer have one (or more) of their items on consignment. They will have the opportunity to pick these items up, or we can find a way, ourselves, to dispose of these items in the safest way possible. It breaks our hearts that something as simple and charming as children’s clothing, etc. is bringing such conflict upon shops like ours and our consignors. We will do our best to follow the guidelines imposed, and still keep the flavor of innocence shining in our shop.

Police chief deal still in works continued from page one

the community.” The search for the next police chief, she said, should involved an assessment of the department as a whole to see if any changes should be made, and what those would be. “Then we should get a chief in place that is going to allow us to move forward,” she said. She did say, however, that the decision is MacDonald’s to make, although a member of the Board of Selectmen has been part of past search committees. “This is his position to recruit and hire, not the selectmen,” she said. Sullivan she could not comment at length, wanting to respect what was discussed in executive session even though some information had leaked out of the closed-door session last week when a Comcast employee left a microphone on. On live cable access, selectmen were heard discussing a $240,000 buyout of DeLuca’s contact, which ends Nov. 20. Troy has since said that number is too high. The buyout would reportedly be a combination of back vacation pay, outlined in DeLuca’s contract, and a combination of other factors such as his years of service, and legal waivers he is expected to sign. Sullivan said the town is in uncharted waters and has never dealt with a similar issue. “We’re trying to do the best we can with an unfamiliar situation,” she said. The issue of the contract has been a bone of contention since DeLuca was told on June 4 that his contract would not be renewed. DeLuca has been police chief in Duxbury for 10 years, before that he was a ser-

geant with the Boston Police. The fact that DeLuca would be moving on prompted a handful of citizens to organize a petition drive, urging MacDonald and the selectmen to sign the chief to another contract. They claimed, at a recent Board of Selectmen meeting, to have collected 500 signatures, although as of press time those signatures had not been submitted to the town. Organizer John Canty of Blodgett Ave. did not return calls seeking comment. MacDonald, under the Town Manager Act, has sole appointing authority over department heads. However, selectmen Christopher Donato has been vocal in his support of DeLuca, saying last week that the town is “talking about removing the wrong person” and even making a motion to fire MacDonald, which did not get a second. Donato did not return requests for additional comment. On Tuesday, Oct. 6, Town Manager Richard MacDonald appointed Lt. Lewis Chubb of the Duxbury Police as interim police chief. Chubb was out of town at a conference this week and unavailable for comment. However, DeLuca was reportedly at the police station on Wednesday, after his temporary replacement had been appointed. When asked about this, McAuliffe would only say, “I have no idea, I’m not there.” Sullivan said she didn’t think it would be unreasonable for DeLuca to have entered the station to retrieve personal effects, or to say goodbye to his former staff. She declined to give specifics on DeLuca’s status with the town but did that that “one could reasonably assume that once the in-

terim chief is appointed, the previous office holder would be on some kind of leave.” Sullivan said she hopes that the town can learn from what’s been a messy split with DeLuca. “Government, especially small town government, is very subjective,” she said. “It’s not neat. It’s got a lot of moving parts, and it depends on personalities.”

Bay Farm celebrates International Day of Peace

O

n Sept. 21, the students and staff at Bay Farm Montessori Academy observed the International Day of Peace with a brief ceremony held around the Peace Pole on the Bay Farm campus. Students sang songs about peace, displayed the peace cranes and flags they made, and read essays they wrote for the occasion. Faculty members provided music and overviews of how peace was the foundation of Maria Montessori’s philosophy. Prior to the event, all students in fourth and fifth grades completed five hours of community service in honour of the InternationA group of students gathers in front of Peace Pole and flags. al Day of Peace.

First Parish raises funds for sister church in Transylvania

O

By Troy Riley, Special to the Clipper

n a recent sunny day, the lawns in front of First Parish Church on Tremont Street were covered with tables of handcrafts and Flea Market items. The proceeds of the “yard sale” are bound for a tiny church in a hamlet in Transylvania called Nyaradszereda, now part of Romania. It has been nine years since the Duxbury congregation reached out over thousands of miles to help a fellow church whose origins are in the mid sixteenth century. During the intervening hundreds of years, these ethnic Hungarians were violently suppressed, and until the end of the Communist dictatorship of Nicolae Ceausescu, were treated as secondclass citizens. It is only since Romania’s admission into the European Union that things have been slowly improving for our partners in Transylvania. As the two churches’ relationship has grown, reciprocal visits have been made, first by several of Duxbury’s parishioners to Nyaradszereda, and then by the partner church’s minister and his wife to Duxbury. They have become, in a sense, a part of the Duxbury church family. What is more, those from the Duxbury church who did travel to such a remote area of Eastern Europe brought back such moving and inspiring stories, that First Parish became even more committed to helping this small, brave, but poor congregation. Earlier this year, Reverend Szilard Sandor visited First Parish Church for the second time. He brought with him photographs of the new church that his congregation is in the midst of building. His dynamism and enthusiasm was contagious, and the result is a renewed commitment on First Parish’s part to help in every way possible. One American dollar goes a very long way in Transylvania. The recent yard sale was

just one way the Duxbury church is trying its best to get their house of worship built. Handcrafts and art from Nyaradszereda have been, in the past, sold in our community, and come Decemberfest, there will be a large table of items whose proceeds will go to the Partner Church. The public will be most welcome, at that time, to shop and join our cause. And in the not too distant future, there will be a brand new church nestled in the hills of Transylvania, built in part with the love, compassion, and well wishes of its Duxbury family at First Parish Church.

Give sleep a chance

t’s time to step back and take a deep breath on the school start time issue. Many –– including this writer –– were critical of how, back in February, the School Committee handled the proposal to change the start times of some of the district’s schools. However, the matter was discussed openly (the committee allowed several meetings worth of discussion, putting other business on hold), and the School Committee voted 3-2 to change the times. That’s democracy in action. That doesn’t mean the issue should be exempt from further discussion, but the majority voters have earned a right to install their program. It’s time to give sleep a chance. Instead, we have seen a constant barrage against the committee and the school administration from parents who were against the change from the beginning. A subcommittee tasked with overseeing the implementation of the change has complained of interruptions from people attending the meetings. A researcher from Holy Cross working with the district says parents were so abusive to her she had to quit. And the School Committee’s open microphone time has been dominated by this issue, to the detriment of others. One of the ideas suggested at the committee’s recent workshop meeting was to put a three-month moratorium on the discussion of any controversial issues once they’ve been voted. That would do a world of good for the start time debate. If, in three months, the buses are still a mess and things haven’t settled down, that’s the time to reexamine the change. The committee is not hiding from the debate –– School Committee Chairman George Cipolletti has said he’s open to having a public meeting to address parent concerns. And maybe, after a year or two, the community will decide the move didn’t work. But the School Committee and the superintendent have a right to get on with other business in the short term. The issue of using or not using the start time survey data is a red herring. The data was anonymous, the survey was not mandatory, so the argument that giving the data to researchers could create some kind of liability for the school district doesn’t hold water. Parents whose children took the survey knew the data was going somewhere. Frankly, it seems like sour grapes –– people who were on the losing side of the start time vote are now looking for any way to derail it, and that’s not fair. Again, the proper way to address this is through the ballot box in the spring. The sleep time issue has been a divisive one. And no matter which way the vote went, there was going to be a group of unhappy people. There are winners and losers in a democracy. And sometimes, the losers just have to learn to accept defeat graciously. –– J. Graeber

Silent majority should be silent no more ——

I

confess. I have been a bystander on the sidelines of what concocted itself into one of the most acrimonious of conflicts I have had the misfortune to witness in my short 12 year tenure as a resident of this otherwise lovely town. My bystander role, for which I am not particularly proud, counts me among a group that, I suspect, comprises a “silent majority” regarding the circumstances related to our town manager and his chief of police. I would imagine that this silent majority’s position on these issues might go something like this: We, the silent majority, have no particular quarrel with the job that Mr. MacDonald has done over these past several years, nor, for that matter, that of Mr. DeLuca. We have, frankly, not been aggrieved by either. From all that we’ve seen, they have each performed competently at their posts. We also, generally, recognize that our town is run much like a business, with selectmen acting as a defacto board of directors, our town manager as a chief executive and we, the taxpayers, as the owners of the company. Many of us live in this environment five plus days a week. Further, we understand and respect the rule of law which, in this case, appears to state fairly clearly that, as in business, the CEO (or town manager) is charged with the right and the responsibility to build a team

to his own satisfaction that will deliver the promised performance on behalf of the owners. The concept is not alien to us. And so we, the silent majority, did not wade into the mud. Busy, or bored, or otherwise distracted, we did not raise a collective voice. And in its absence, the void was filled by vitriol from a very vocal minority that seems to have taken the view that the town manager, despite having followed the letter of the law in exercising his sovereign right to populate his own team, has somehow committed such heinous acts that he should be sacked or, at least, subjected to an uncompromised maligning of his character. With no disrespect to Mr. DeLuca, whose performance does not seem to have troubled the community, Mr. MacDonald is a competent town manager who should be allowed to

execute his responsibilities, unfettered, within the constructs of the law that has been enacted for that purpose. Those dissatisfied with his performance, or his granted authority, should set about to, either change these laws, or work within them rather than prevailing loudly upon those who might to step around them. That, of course, can be done in the privacy of a ballot box. All too often, the shrill ranting of a vocal minority have a curious and insidious way of transforming themselves into gospel before the, naively complacent, eyes of its mute counterpart. Before that happens here, perhaps the silent majority, no matter where it actually stands, should rethink its silence. Kenneth C. Meyers Elder Brewster Road

Calling in a robbery ————

Hello 911? I’m calling to report a hold up. Where? At the town treasurer’s office. How much was taken? It was about $240,000. How many involved? It was two men. Do you have a description? Yes, one was about 5’ 10”, 170 pounds, crew cut and was wearing a name badge that said “CHIEF.” The other was a little bald guy, I saw him on TV, he must be a comedian because he was making a total fool of himself. Any witnesses? Yes, the entire town of Duxbury. Yes, I agree, we do need to insure that the town is never held up again. Remember, Duxbury –– Be careful when you cast your vote. Dan Somes Brick Hill Lane

Town government needs an overhaul ————

I

read an article in the Clipper last week written by a gentleman that raised a few thoughts. I would like to respond by raising a few questions: Do you think it was particularly impressive to judge the meeting’s speakers at a point in which they were in a highly charged state of anger and emotion? Do you think you are doing any service by insulting one side or the other by tossing bombs in different areas to cause more chaos and anger? Sir, please take a look at the way you write, judge and comment on things. It is overplayed. Here is my honest opinion and this one is free. Taking all personalities out of the picture, we are now left with a good starting point. There needs to be immediate changes in the way our town government operates. This is what we should do: Terminate all legal counsel presently on the payroll for the town of Duxbury. We have plenty of lawyers in office and around town and I think they would love to help out. Besides, our public officials should learn how to avoid litigation. It sometimes seems easier to pass it off to counsel. Let’s try harder to

resolve an issue. It seems almost all the time, almost every issue or question is referred to “counsel” and “counsel” comes back after “X” amount of billable hours and offers an opinion that “may” or “may not” “stand up” in court. Also, have you ever noticed that “counsel” is often used to confuse or delay meetings or proceedings by certain town officials? Open town hall, let the air in. Every department employee and department head should open the books to a special committee. Open school administration the same way by the same committee. Determine the top three items that are preventing our town from working

– and fix them. Sounds simple because it is. The amount of time and money we spend on litigation and meeting upon meeting on sleep time, police chief, town manager, Percy Walker Pool, and on and on. This stuff is choking forward progress and allowing our town to break even or maybe get pushed back a little every year. We do not want that, nor should we accept that. We as citizens, parents and public officials have become slaves to litigation and distant strangers to common sense. Jim O’Sullivan Amado Way

Public officials poor role models

T

o the folks of Duxbury, I have three children, ages 10, 6 and 2. They have been raised to use polite language, not interrupt and to approach the person they’d like to address instead of yelling. I expect my children to need constant reminders to use their manners. What I do not expect, and what I find truly upsetting, is that many adult role models and

elected officials in our town have abandoned these basic rules of politeness and have resorted to making spectacles of themselves and our town. Our children are listening, and trust me, they “hear” it all. Please watch your manners. We have elected you to lead, please do so with dignity. Kellie Bresnehan Pine Lake Rd

A $240,000 mistake – so far ——————— Don’t redefine contract law —

S

electman Chris Donato’s public statements about the non-renewal of Police Chief DeLuca’s contract were unbecoming of an elected official who took an oath of office to uphold our town bylaws which include the Town Manager Act. If someone has violated the Act, could it be Mr. Donato? Donato’s many public statements that the non-renewal was really a termination or a firing helped make a legal case for DeLuca’s attorney. Suddenly we hear that allegations about the chief have been made under oath. Could it be that Mr. MacDonald is doing “the right thing” as Mr. Donato so often professes to be doing? The taxpayers will bear the brunt to the tune of nearly a quarter of a million dollars. The selectmen’s conundrum was either settle or put the town through a lengthy and more costly legal battle on the non-renewal. One can argue which route was less expensive but this didn’t have to happen. According to the Clipper, Mr. Donato is upset that the town doesn’t have sufficient funds to settle union negotiations. He will attempt to blame Mr. Mac-

Donald but the truth is that his behavior just cost the town and the taxpayers $240,000! Ordinarily, Donato’s behavior might be written off as naïve but the man is an attorney and knew exactly what his behavior meant in building a case for the chief. Now he claims the chief was not the only employee to be “mistreated.” Unless he is around Duxbury 24/7, how can he know who is being” mistreated” or simply managed by the town manager. Does this mean we can expect more of the same with Mr. Donato and other town employees? Let’s hope not. A quarter of million dollars is enough. Apparently Mr. Donato doesn’t understand that he is management not labor

as a selectman and “doing the right thing” is representing the taxpayers and not disgruntled employees. These are difficult financial times and Richard MacDonald has had to make many tough decisions about Duxbury’s ability to pay for all of its services. When management makes those difficult choices, sometimes employees are upset. So be it. That is precisely why we have a town manager. Town employees require hands on daily management not back bench name calling by part time elected officials. Apparently previous boards of selectmen have seen fit to retain Mr. MacDonald based on his performance and the current board has two out of three elected officials that feel the same way. Mr. Donato feels differently based on less than a year of experience in town office. That is his right. Let’s hope for the town’s sake, that there will always be two selectmen to oppose him. Personally I can’t wait until Donato comes up for re-election so the voters can “do the right thing.” James M. Murphy Barn Swallow Lane

Stop the secrecy ———————————

S

hhhhhh, it’s a secret! The police chief’s contract was not renewed, no public performance review, secret allegations, but never substantiated. The sixtime state title winning lacrosse coach’s contract was not renewed due to secret allegations, and then he was rehired in a private meeting with a secret discussion. The Duxbury School Committee went into a “workshop” and asked press to leave because work-

shops do not qualify for Open Meeting Law. Very early start times were instituted for young Duxbury children school, and analysis was secret before the vote and are after. The town manager can not renew the contract of any Duxbury public employee at will in a secret process that requires no public analysis. “Government ought to be all outside and not inside. Everybody knows that corruption thrives in secret places, and avoids public places, and

we believe it a fair presumption that secrecy means impropriety.” Woodrow Wilson said it. Public disagreement and discourse on civic matters is a hallmark of democracy. Secrecy is a hallmark of Peyton Place. Duxbury should carefully consider secret civic actions in the future. Elected public officials who support secret actions should be voted out.

Take ‘PRIDE’ in the fields ————————

P

.R.I.D.E. must be pleased with the dramatic increase in activity at the new high school turf field and track. Unfortunately, the demand has resulted in a tremendous trash problem on the adjacent training fields, along the perimeter of the fenc-

ing, and in the woods bordering the marsh. The $1.3 million project was largely financed with generous donations. Duxbury’s Community Preservation Act funds paid for the drainage and site work. Parents, please set a good example. Encourage your sons and daughters

to pick up after themselves! And if we host a game then we should make sure that we clean up afterwards, especially when the town and schools are facing budget cuts. Where is our pride? Holly Morris Abrams Hill Road

Happy 75th birthday, Grandpa Jack ————

W

e had the grandparents over for breakfast recently and I would like to share a story Grandpa Jack told my two boys. Grandpa Jack grew up in Charlestown and hung out with all the Bruins such as Greg Sheppard, Dallas Smith, Phil Esposito, and of course Bobby Orr, at the local watering hole called The Branding Iron. When a Bruin showed up there, they were not given special treatment but were greeted with jeers and comments like “Why did ya let that guy hit ya like that?” To which the Bruin replied to the bartender, “Aw, give me a beer.” One time they were all sitting around a table when three Bruins, including Orr, abruptly got up and left. A short time

later, back they came, wheeling Esposito down Blossom Street in a hospital bed with his broken leg hanging in the air. They brought him to the bar, gave him a beer, and then told everyone to ignore him. Soon the place was swarming with nurses and the security guards from the hospital got into a heap of trouble. Grandpa Jack talked about how, when they were kids, they were really great at hopping fences because of running from the cops. “We weren’t bad kids, though,” he told my boys. For this reason they became skilled at never having to pay to get into all the games, “even ping pong matches,” he said. One time he and his buddy were heading to the Patriot’s game at the old Braise Field, which I believe is now BU Sta-

dium, and planned on paying admission that day but were told at the gate the seats were sold out. They walked away, but Grandpa Jack spotted a big wall being built so he and his buddy decided to try to hop it. It was ten feet tall and Grandpa Jack made it to the top, but his buddy, who happened to be a phenomenal all star athlete himself, couldn’t seem to make it. Eventually, Grandpa Jack got a hold of his hand and they both almost toppled back down. Just then, they saw the policeman walk up. They thought they were in big trouble, but to their surprise, the policeman gave Jack’s buddy a boost and they were in. Dina DiTullio Priscilla Avenue

A

s I follow the conversations and articles pertaining to the police chief, town manager and selectmen, one can’t help but feel disillusioned. I have no particular allegiance to the town manager or police chief, and value the services performed by both parties. Through the democratic process over hundreds of years, countless volunteers sacrificed and invested thousands of hours to establish our current form of local government with laws and guidelines to make the town of Duxbury one of the most desirable communities in Massachusetts. Through the selectmen’s office, the town manager is empowered with specific responsibilities including the authority to renew or end specific employment agreements. These employment contracts were approved by outside counsel and included expiration language which means just that; the employment arrangement is over unless it’s renewed. Now we find our community embroiled

in an ongoing controversy because our newest selectman seeks to redefine contract law and circumvent a democratic process through backroom politics with a demeaning tone that is divisive and destructive to the culture Duxbury residents value. You don’t have to drive far to observe those communities that lost their desirability through poor leadership. It starts slowly and works its way through every town fiber in the form of apathy, marginal hires and wasted economic resources. Then it takes years and sacrifice to reverse that irreparable culture. So far Duxbury hasn’t adopted “Beltway politics” as the process for change versus our democratic right to submit Town Meeting articles. I hope more residents will come forward to say “no more” and support the office of town manager. Dick Tillotson South Pasture Lane

Selectman should go ————

Y

ou have been giving a lot of coverage lately to selectman

Donato. This man has been a great disappointment as the replacement last election for a genuinely good and capable selectman –– Mr. Martecchini. It is now entirely clear that Donato is a “politician” in the

worst sense of that word and, in general, a loud-mouthed troublemaker. Thank goodness we have two responsible selectmen able to outvote him when necessary. Let’s all intelligent Duxbury residents get together next election and get rid of Donato. Rosslyn Lyell Washington Street

Thanks for the help with the Tarkiln school building ———

T

he Tarkiln Committee and the Friends of Tarkiln are excited to announce that the restoration project of the Tarkiln Community Center is finally underway and we want to thank the following dedicated volunteers who have donated their time, energy, talents and financial resources to make this worthwhile project a reality. Our thanks go out to Emmett Sheehan and Padraic Sheehan and their crew of Eagles Nest Tree and Landscape, including Stuart Ruggles, for their help with the recent interior demolition and stripping of the rear siding; Scott Thrasher of SC Thrasher Builders and his crew of JR Nolan, Cameron Thrasher and Forrest MacQuarrie for donating their time and labor on a Saturday to install new clapboarding on the back of the building; and Sam Wakeman of Goodrich Lumber and Emmett Sheehan for donating the clapboards and materials for this job. We also want to thank Town Manager Richard MacDonald and Director of Inspectional Services Scott Lambiase for their continued support of the project and our committees, as well as DPW Director Peter Buttkus and his Lands and Natural Resources department employees for their assistance in materials disposal. Finally,

we want to gratefully acknowledge all our helpers who faithfully show up at each of our volunteer days to paint, rake, shovel, haul, and fix this grand old building so it can serve the public once again. As the Tarkiln project is ongoing, we are continually looking for more volunteers and experienced tradesmen to help with different aspects of the restoration. The Friends of Tarkiln will also be holding fundraisers, such as our family pumpkin sale on Saturday at starting at 9 a.m. at Tarkiln, as we try to raise enough money to fund our wish list and supplement the Community Preservation Act funds granted by town meeting. Our wish list includes such things as a new kitchen and appropriate historical details like schoolhouse light fixtures, wall coverings and stamped tin ceilings. Anyone wishing to donate toward a specific wish list item or make a general donation can give to The Friends of Tarkiln, PO Box 1296, Duxbury, MA 02331. Donations are tax-deductible.

their Age Group Coordinator within 48 hours of that event, stating why they were absent.  Letters may be submitted to the AGC in advance as well.

Sangster goal ties Hanover By Mike Halloran, Sports Editor [email protected]

his chances to put his team ahead in the half, but Hanover goalkeeper James Oliver shut the door or lucked out when a couple of Sangster’s shots went wide of the net. The game was far more competitive then Duxbury’s game with Rockland on Monday: a 4-0 shutout of the Bulldogs. Patient and ball control was all Duxbury needed to register its sixth shutout of the season, as Coach John Tocci got a solid defensive effort from goalkeeper Max Cote (.14 gpg), David Hemingway, Mark Brady, Morgan Dwinell and Steve Blout. Cote only touched the ball twice in the game before being subbed out for Tom Kazanowski late in the second half.  Tommy Drummy also

turned in his usually solid game in the midfield. It was Eric Larson’s turn to shine in the win, as he got the Dragons off to a 1-0 lead midway through the first half after taking a pass from Sangster along the goal line and knocking home his own rebound for a one-goal margin at halftime. Duxbury got an insurance tally in the fourth minute of second-half action, as Larson notched his second goal of the game when he took a header pass from Mitch Barrington and buried it for a 2-0 lead. Barrington was at it again 10 minutes later when he crossed the ball to Connor Inglis, who deposited a right-footed volley from 12 yards out to put the game out of reach.

Where to go this fall continued from page one

evening’s soloist, mezzo-soprano Beth MacLeod, a little closer to the event. Meanwhile, mark your calendars. The Phil only comes to Duxbury once a year. Before too long, José Mateo’s Ballet Theatre will bring Tchaikovsky’s “The Nutcracker” back to town for five shows, Christmas Eve through Sunday, Dec. 27. If any Duxbury children are cast in the Boston Ballet’s production, I’ll write about them, too. Figure Skating season is well underway, and I’ll be cranking up my Duxbury connections as far as they’ll take me. You can rest assured, when the 2010 Olympic Winter Games open in Vancouver, B.C. on Feb. 12, I’ll make it seem like I’m there. If I’m lucky, I’ll make it to the Blue Hills to ski, or I’ll do a little cranberry bog skating, but in my imagination I’ll be joining the stars in the Canadian Rockies. Mind you, there’s a passel of Duxbury kids skiing and skating up a storm right around here. This year I’ll include the synchronized skaters, and a better look at the high school’s ski team. Meanwhile, here come the holidays. There’s no getting around it, the winter cycle of Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas dwarf other holidays in this country so soundly that other cultures either join in, or become invisible. I’m not going to change that. I love what I’ve learned about other faiths (and my own), and sometimes I’m moved to tears by them, but nothing consumes me like Christmas. I haven’t outgrown it. In fact, the fatter I get, the more I love Santa Claus. But there’s time enough for Santa. I’ll get through autumn first, and the little candy extortion ring growing in my own family. Halloween has gotten quiet in my neighborhood in recent years, but I have a feeling a new surge of giggling banditry is just around the corner. Mine aren’t the only kids beginning to have kids of their own. In a week or two we should have peak color around here, and piling leaves for little monsters to hide in, or at least shuffle through on the way to their next target. When I was a boy, the sight of a wild turkey was only a daydream, the stuff of articles in hunting magazines. Now I see them lifting into the trees in my own back yard, so plentiful they are nearly a nuisance, but a proud and beautiful nuisance. Once in a while I hear them gobble in the neighbor’s yard. It’s a wonderful word – gobble – like goblins, the little monsters soon to overspread the neighborhood. The sound of a turkey, and the sound of eating a turkey – another event “just around the corner.” Sometimes the yearly cycles make some net progress. The world is full of turkeys and a little greener now, even if some other cycles (like carbons) threaten to flush us all down the drain. Welcome to the holiday season! God willing, we’ll learn and share a little more this year, feel a little deeper, grow a little stronger, ski and skate a little faster, and for Halloween at

Golf streak ends at 10 By Mike Halloran, Sports Editor [email protected]

Just when it looked like no one could touch Coach Jack Stoddard’s golf team, the Dragons laid an egg in a 235246 loss to Pembroke on the Duxbury Yacht Club course that ended their winning streak at 10 games. golf

Rounds of 37 by Peter Camerlengo (3 birdies/3 pars) and Jack Reardon (3 birdies/2 pars) led the Titans to a surprising win, while Billy Curley (38/7 pars) and Bobby O’Brien (39/3 birdies/2 pars) were the top scorers for Duxbury. Chris MacRae (39/6 pars), Kevin Gately (40/a bird/4

pars), Brandon Sturtevant (41/2 pars), and Garrett Wetherbee (41/5 pars) rounded out the Pembroke scoring, while Jonathan Stoddard (40/6 pars), James Magner (42/4 pars), Stephan Krall (43/3 pars), and Nick Drago (44/5 pars) scored for Duxbury. The Dragons recovered in time to beat Silver Lake on Wednesday, 249-262, raising their record to 11-2. Despite a medal round of 39 by the Laker’s Pat Ford, rounds of 40 by Curley (5 pars), Magner (6 pars), and Kevin Kuckuk (5 pars) paced the Duxbury win. O’Brien (42/a bird/4 pars), Krall (43/2 birdies/a par), and Stoddard (44/3 pars) also contributed to the victory. The week ended with a 21-stroke win over Scituate (234-255) at the DYC course on Thursday. After a trio of matches this week, the Dragons will end their regular season schedule with tough matches against Sandwich, BC High, and Barnstable, as they get ready for postseason play.

Dragons shut out Pembroke By Mike Halloran, Sports Editor [email protected]

They took on a couple of the best teams on the South Shore to start the season, and then faced some of the weaker teams the following three weeks. Having now faced a range of competition during its so-called exhibition season, the Dragons are set to start their run for a league title and playoff berth after shutting out Pembroke on Friday night, 28-0. Football

Facing the Titans was expected to be one of the easier assignments on the Duxbury schedule, but when facing a Bob Bancroft coached team, you know you are in for a battle. The best way to prevent an upset is to jump on an opponent early and make him play catch-up. That was what the Dragons were hoping for, as QB Kane Haffey directed a seven-play, 61-yard drive on the opening possession, highlighted by a 46-yard pass to senior Sam Beattie that took the ball down to the 11-yard line. Two rushes by sophomore Henry Buonagurio put the Dragons into the end zone with 6:47 left in the quarter, and junior Ben Startzell’s PAT quickly made it 7-0. Neither team could get much going over the next four possessions, as Duxbury continued to shoot itself in the foot with consecutive fourthdown fumbles. With 4:40 left in the half, Pembroke had good field po-

sition at the Duxbury 42, only to watch as Duxbury’s CJ Cote and Max Randle crushed Titan QB Anthony Juliano for a huge loss on third down to force a punt that landed back at the Duxbury 42-yard line. Buonagurio ripped off a 20-yard gain on first down, and continued to move the Dragons forward with a nine-yard burst for another first down. A holding penalty brought the ball back to the 33, but a 14yard run by Buonagurio and a 15-yard scamper by Haffey put the ball at the four-yard line as the clock was winding down. Haffey was sacked for a five-yard loss, but made up for it two plays later by sneaking into the end zone from a yard out. Startzell made the conversion, as the Dragons went to the locker room with a 14-0 halftime lead. Coach Dave Maimaron has shown just about everything in his playbook so far this season, and he wasn’t afraid to do it once again, as he attempted an onsides kick that almost backfired. After the Titans recovered the kick at their own 49-yard line, Benjamin Healey took a hand-off on first down and went 51 yards for an apparent score, only to have the play called back because of holding. On fourth down with two yards to go, sophomore defensive back Reilly Naton combined with Cote to nail Healey for a three-yard loss, giving the ball back to the Dragons, who did nothing with it as they fumbled on fourth down. Pembroke had great field position at the Duxbury 45 with 8:32 left in the quarter

and seemed to have its offense in gear as it moved down to the 29. Nevertheless, Cote made the big play once again, sacking Juliano for a 14-yard loss and setting up Duxbury’s next scoring drive. After moving the ball just 11 yards in six plays, Startzell went back to punt. Taking the snap, the junior stood tall and fired a pass to Buonagurio down the right sideline for 24 yards and a first down on the trick play. “We do it because people have to defend it. Everyone is watching us and by faking a punt it does make them think about slowing down their punt rush,” said Maimaron. Five plays later Haffey found senior Matt Savard in the left corner of the end zone

for a 10-yard TD pass. Startzell put the extra point through the uprights and the Dragons led 21-0 with 9:41 left in the game. Beattie would stop Pembroke’s next drive on fourth down with a tackle of Anthony Gomes for a four-yard loss, setting up the Duxbury offense at the 46-yard line where it was now being led by sophomore QB Seamus Connelly. Classmate Andrew Buron would get the call on Duxbury’s final drive of the game, breaking off a 26-yard gain on second down and turning the right corner for a 16-yard TD run three plays later to end the scoring at 28-0. “We’ve won three games in a row, but we’re still inconsistent,” said Coach Maima-

ron. “The defense is playing well, but we need to clean it up on offense. North Quincy is a quality opponent and it will be a tough challenge, and after that it doesn’t get any easier. I don’t think any of the teams we play the rest of the year are as tough as Bridgewater or Plymouth North. We can play at that speed and we were in the game, but we just couldn’t finish, so we know what level we need to play at to win the league and it’s one game at a time.” Next up for the Dragons are the North Quincy Red Raiders, who begin a fivegame stretch of games that will determine Duxbury’s destiny in post-season play. The game is in Duxbury at 7 p.m. on Friday night.

Lady Dragons get back in their groove

By Mike Halloran, Sports Editor [email protected]

After a stunning 3-2 loss to Rockland to start the week, the Lady Dragon soccer team got back on track in convincing style with a pair of shutout wins over Hanover (5-0) and Middleboro (8-0). Girls Soccer

“It was quite a turnaround and a complete effort in both

games,” said Coach Emerson Coleman. “We just didn’t play that well and we missed a ton of chances against Rockland. They played great and then we come here and play Hanover, who is always a strong team. But this time we capitalized on all our chances.” At the 19:50 mark of the first half, senior captain Caitlin Burke scored the first of her three goals when she took a feed from Melissa Gavin and nailed a shot from the top of the box into the right hand corner for a 1-0 lead over the Indians. Less than five minutes later Burke was at it again, taking a pass from Emily Gallagher and firing her shot along the ground from 15 yards out to increase the lead to 2-0 by

halftime. While the Lady Dragons faced a stiff breeze in their face, any chance for a Hanover comeback ended just six minutes into the second half, as Burke recorded her hat-trick on another assist from Gavin for a 3-0 margin. Gallagher would make it 4-0 at the 18:13 mark, as she rifled a shot from 25 yards out inside the left post. Gavin would end the Duxbury scoring midway through the half when her shot from

as Gavin (3 assists), Burke, Charlotte Cipolletti, Gallagher, and Sophie Dubuisson scored first-half goals in the annual drubbing of Middleboro. Coach Coleman went to his bench early and often, as sophomore Deidre Murphy (2) and Dubuisson finished off the Duxbury scoring in the second half. The girls will travel to Pembroke on Thursday afternoon at 4 p.m. to take on the Titans.

Barrington would be rewarded for his generosity when Fenton McCall found him from 25 yards out, allowing the senior forward to chip one over the Rockland netminder for the final score of the afternoon. Duxbury ended its hectic week with its seventh shutout of the season in a 2-0 win over Middleboro. Larson continued his hot hand by scoring in the first ten minutes against the Sachems, as he took a pass from Sangster and deposited his shot in the open net after Sangster drew the keeper out of his net. Ten minutes later Landry got back in scoring form, as Ryan Schroeder took a pass from brother Ben and fed Landry down the left side. The senior veteran beat his defender and fired a shot underneath the diving Middleboro goalkeeper for a 2-0 lead. The lead stood up for the rest of the afternoon, as the hosts barely threatened and rarely had the ball over midfield.  The Dragons will entertain Pembroke Thursday afternoon at 4 and will then travel to Silver Lake for a Monday night for a 7 p.m. match-up with the Lakers.

20 yards out rattled off the left post and found the back of the net. “It was great to have a lot of our people get in and play, and these weren’t kids that are in our regular substitution pattern. They got to play a good 15 minutes against Hanover’s first group. It was a great job all around and I thought Meg Woomer and Emily Gallagher really had strong games,” said Coleman. It was more of the same on Friday afternoon in Duxbury,
