Duxbury is for animal-lovers Jerry the Parrot perches on the head of Steven DiRamio. Jerry made a daring escape from his owners, Rocco and Colleen Longo of Lantern Lane, and crashed a wedding shower at the DiRamio's home on Woodland Way. He entertained guests and even sipped a few cocktails before continuing his adventure to Marshfield.
Cal, an Australian shepherd, makes a weekly visit to the Alden School. He has been a popular visitor for Alden School fourth-graders and Pilgrim Area Collaborative students taking part in the Book Buddies program. Phinneaus, a Cairn Terrier from Stetson Place, gave his owners a scare this summer when he was trapped in rising tides in the Back River. Here he dries off after his watery adventure. He was rescued with the help of two associate harbormasters, Ryan Kauffman and Justin McNiff.
TOWEL DRY: Emily Murray of the 4-H Poultry Club talks to her hen as she dries her off before traveling to the Marshfield Fair in August. "Farmer Minor" reads “Hello, Piglet” to Daisy the pig along with the children at the library. “Hello, Piglet” was the first book the Minors read to Daisy when she was just a baby.
CANINE START: The students at Learn in Play Preschool on High Street were treated to a special visit from Boston’s most famous dog when Catie Copley came to play in March. Tess Driscoll, Melanie Day and Sydney Driscoll snuggle with the canine star.

A well-traveled Clipper
lipper readers have a long-standing tradition of bringing their hometown paper with them as they travel. If the paper had a passport, it would have stamps from dozens of countries around the world –– and probably a novelty t-shirt or two. Here's just a handful of snapshots from the Clipper's travel photo album.

he Duxbury Rural and Historical Society coordinated an archeological dig at the suspected site of the town's Second Meetinghouse on Chestnut Street this October. The dig attracted scores of dedicated history buffs and volunteer diggers, and led to some amazing historical discoveries including the foundation of the meetinghouse.
Carole McCarthy holds up a piece of pipe she discovered while sifting through soil in her test area.
The volunteers of the Second Meetinghouse dig pose for a photo on the project's last day before filling in the holes created by the excavation. The dig found a host of artifacts as well as the foundation of Duxbury’s Second Meetinghouse.
Jessica Smith and daughters Vicky and Abby sort through dirt taken from a “test trench” at the Second Meetinghouse site.
Gary Paul and his daughters Sidney and Jordan get a hands-on lesson in archeology, carefully digging through layers of soil with a trowel while checking for Pilgrim or Native American artifacts.
Bryce Grey, Sue Phinney, Bobby Phinney and Hugh Grey carefully excavate an area of soil at the dig site. Behind them stands the stone marker that was the only clue to the location of Duxbury’s Second Meeting house until this project found evidence of a foundation.

Thank you Duxbury for a wonderful first year. It has been a pleasure caring for your pets! Steve and I have owned and operated Cohasset Kennel since 2003 and continue to enjoy our guests and their families. We are thrilled to have added Duxbury Kennel In The Pines as our second location. This gorgeous five acre property is the perfect setting for your pet to “come out to the country.” Previously operated as Beresford Kennel by the now retired Ziko family, we have added many upgrades including three large fenced playfields, central air conditioning and a security and environmental monitoring system. The playfields overlook the neighboring horse farm and the walking path winds through the beautiful pine forest which backs up to conservation land. We have a cozy separate cat cottage for our feline friends which is shared by our on-site resident manager. The cottage is complete with a climbing tower for individual play daily for each of our visiting kitties. We have worked closely with the area veterinarians who are familiar with our high standards of care and are confident referring their clients to us. At Duxbury Kennel In The Pines we pay close attention to each pet’s special needs and ensure that all pets are safe, well fed and happy during their visit. Beyond our standard exceptional care, we take pride in the fact that we are known for our ability to cater to the senior pet as well as those with special needs such as prescription diets, medications or mobility issues. Wendy Oleksiak, R.N. Additional information is available at our website: DuxburyKennel.com. Please feel free to stop by for a tour!

NOT ALWAYS GOOD NEWS
PAGE 25
hile covering town news for a weekly paper involves a lot of Little League games and charity pancake breakfasts, it involves bad news as well. Over the course of the year, there were several fires, car accidents and other disasters that befell Duxbury.
A Jeep Grand Cherokee struck a utility pole near 110 Washington St. around noon on Feb. 13. The 66-year-old driver, was taken to Jordan Hospital by ambulance, according to police, where he was treated and released. According to police, it appeared that the car was heading toward St. George Street when it struck the pole on the opposite side of Washington Street. The Jeep’s airbag went off when it struck the pole, and the front bumper was on the side of the street.
Duxbury Police Officer Mel Dyer, who died as a result of injuries sustained when he was struck by a car while working at the Marshfield Fair, was laid to rest at St. Christine’s Church in Marshfield. Hundreds of police officers from around the state, and dignitaries including Gov. Deval Patrick, attended.
A mail truck slid into the porch of a Washington Street home during a Feb. 22 snow storm. No one was injured, and it appeared as though only the porch of the home was damaged.
A grey Mitsubishi Gallant went through the front plate glass window at the Rite Aid pharmacy in Hall’s Corner around noon on April 8. The elderly female driver of the car was shaken up but uninjured, according to Deputy Fire Chief Christopher West. No one inside Rite Aid was injured in the crash, either, West said.

DRACO’S DEN: Den 3 of Pack 1776 enjoyed a fun and informative afternoon with Draco and his designer, Chuck Nudd on March 14. The theme of the month was recycling.

And needless to say, Draco can hold up to 12 cub scouts.

Thank you Duxbury for a wonderful first year. It has been a pleasure caring for your pets! Steve and I have owned and operated Cohasset Kennel since 2003 and continue to enjoy our guests and their families. We are thrilled to have added Duxbury Kennel In The Pines as our second location. This gorgeous five acre property is the perfect setting for your pet to “come out to the country.” Previously operated as Beresford Kennel by the now retired Ziko family, we have added many upgrades including three large fenced playfields, central air conditioning and a security and environmental monitoring system. The playfields overlook the neighboring horse farm and the walking path winds through the beautiful pine forest which backs up to conservation land. We have a cozy separate cat cottage for our feline friends which is shared by our on-site resident manager. The cottage is complete with a climbing tower for individual play daily for each of our visiting kitties. We have worked closely with the area veterinarians who are familiar with our high standards of care and are confident referring their clients to us. At Duxbury Kennel In The Pines we pay close attention to each pet’s special needs and ensure that all pets are safe, well fed and happy during their visit. Beyond our standard exceptional care, we take pride in the fact that we are known for our ability to cater to the senior pet as well as those with special needs such as prescription diets, medications or mobility issues. Wendy Oleksiak, R.N. Additional information is available at our website: DuxburyKennel.com. Please feel free to stop by for a tour!

NOT ALWAYS GOOD NEWS
PAGE 25
hile covering town news for a weekly paper involves a lot of Little League games and charity pancake breakfasts, it involves bad news as well. Over the course of the year, there were several fires, car accidents and other disasters that befell Duxbury.
A Jeep Grand Cherokee struck a utility pole near 110 Washington St. around noon on Feb. 13. The 66-year-old driver, was taken to Jordan Hospital by ambulance, according to police, where he was treated and released. According to police, it appeared that the car was heading toward St. George Street when it struck the pole on the opposite side of Washington Street. The Jeep’s airbag went off when it struck the pole, and the front bumper was on the side of the street.
Duxbury Police Officer Mel Dyer, who died as a result of injuries sustained when he was struck by a car while working at the Marshfield Fair, was laid to rest at St. Christine’s Church in Marshfield. Hundreds of police officers from around the state, and dignitaries including Gov. Deval Patrick, attended.
A mail truck slid into the porch of a Washington Street home during a Feb. 22 snow storm. No one was injured, and it appeared as though only the porch of the home was damaged.
A grey Mitsubishi Gallant went through the front plate glass window at the Rite Aid pharmacy in Hall’s Corner around noon on April 8. The elderly female driver of the car was shaken up but uninjured, according to Deputy Fire Chief Christopher West. No one inside Rite Aid was injured in the crash, either, West said.
