The driver of this SUV said a mechanical failure caused her to crash into Westwinds Bookshop Friday
afternoon. No one was hurt during the incident, and the store plans to open Wednesday or Thursday.
Car crashes into bookshop
By Justin Graeber, Clipper Editor
justin@duxburyclipper.com
The driver of an SUV
that plowed into the front of
Westwinds Bookshop says it
was a mechanical problem,
not driver error, that caused
the crash.
Around 1:45 p.m. Fri-
day, an SUV driven by Nancy
Oates of Puritan Drive acceler-
ated through the front wall of
Westwinds, which is located
in the Duxbury Marketplace
off Depot Street. No one was
injured.
Chris Haraden, who owns
Westwinds with his wife Mar-
ilyn, said one employee was
working in the shop on Friday.
A customer and a delivery per-
son had just left the store.
“Looking at what hap-
pened, we’re just so thank-
ful nobody was injured,” he
said. “Except for some frayed
nerves, everything that was
damaged can be replaced.”
Oates, who is also Dux-
bury’s town clerk, says she
was backing out of a parking
space in front of Westwinds
after visiting the Oriental Ex-
press rug store when her en-
gine started to rev at a high
rate.
Concerned that something
might be wrong with the re-
verse gear in her 2007 Honda
CRV, Oates said she put the
car in drive with the intention
of pulling back into the park-
ing spot to figure out what was
wrong. It was then that she
said the car lurched forward,
with the engine continuing to
The accident destroyed most of Westwinds supply of greeting cards
and all of their understock.

moving to
Duxbury
less than
10 years ago, he has been an
enthusiastic volunteer on the
Duxbury Interfaith Council,
acting as assistant treasurer
and treasurer. Most of the
funds raised by DIC are good-
will donations from Duxbury
residents, so keeping track
of donations is a task that re-
quires many hours. Frank
has consistently assumed this
sometimes tedious but critical
duty with good cheer. He al-

been making frequent visits to

the past 18 years, she has
rarely failed
to spend an
entire Friday

from the first
morning activity until tavern
time closing at 5 p.m. She
brings happiness to everyone
there, and the impact of this
79-year-young volunteer is not
limited to the time she spends
at Bay Path. During the rest of
the week, she bakes and makes
gifts for the residents and staff,
who are always excited when
she arrives with her basket full
of goodies. For Peggy, volun-
teering is not something she
does for a year or two, or for
a special cause. It has always
been her way of life.

Fighting fatigue, fear and frostbite in Alaska

continued from page one
Petro, a former ski coach
at DHS and Fort Hill Lane res-
ident, is an endurance athlete,
the type of person who would
hike over a mountain pass in a
snowstorm with nothing but a
blinking GPS device as a life-
line. He recently competed in
the Iditarod Trail Invitational,
a 350-mile mountain bike
race along the same route as
Alaska’s famous Iditarod dog
sled race. But instead
of dogs and sleds, the
Invitational is just a
person, a bike, and the
elements.
Petro first learned
of the race last year
while helicopter skiing
in Alaska. Although
he’d never done that
kind of a winter race,
he had competed in
Iron Man Triathlons
and a cross-country
bike race called Ride
Across America, and
was looking for a
challenge.

said. “I’d ridden in the

The field of the race, which
took place in early March, was
limited to 50 participants. Pet-

submit credentials to earn their

“It wasn’t for the faint of
heart,” he said.
A race that is already ex-
tremely difficult was made
even harder by the weather.
As an example of the race’s
toughness, among the 50 en-

didn’t happen, and the bikers
arrived to find 10 feet of fresh

hours to complete in the past
took 46 hours this year.
“It went from a four-day
race to a six-day race,” said
Petro.
The deep snow meant for
long stretches, the competi-

Petro said he felt physi-
cally prepared for the race, but
knew other participants had
more experience with winter
survival. So he found some
riders who were fast, and tried
to stick with them.
“The race was non-stop,”
he said. “The leaders were the
ones willing to sacrifice sleep
and rest.”
Throughout the compe-
tition, Petro and the other
participants fought mental
and physical exhaustion in a
race where sleep often meant

Born in Chicago,
Ill., she grew up and
was educated in Gary,
Indiana, as the daughter
of Frederick and Emma
Matzdorf, German im-
migrants who had met in
Gary. She married Leo J.
Luckey, also of Gary.
His career in the U.S.

eventually to Boston. Their final move brought
them to Duxbury in 1962 when Leo was as-
signed to a Coast Guard communication station
on the South River in Marshfield.
In 1963, Rita joined the staff of the Duxbury
Clipper, first as a typesetter and later, because
of her versatility, as a bookkeeper, office man-
ager and production leader. Needing full-time
work with full-time benefits, she left the paper
in 1970 to become secretary to the elementary
school principal.
In 1991, after 21 years she retired from the

T
he Duxbury Rotary Club is now meeting as a break-
fast club on Tuesdays at 7 a.m. at the Duxbury Senior
Center.
Peter Connelly and Cathy Connelly gave a very interesting
PowerPoint presentation about the Mercy Ships; ocean liners
that have been retired from their original purpose and turned into
floating hospitals. The ships now serve 150 ports in developing
nations and provide relief to the forgotten poor by saving lives,
improving the quality of life and restoring hope. Because of the
number of patients, they are chosen by the severity of their needs
and the projected success of surgery.
Plans are being made for the Annual Mother’s Day Break-
fast which will be held at the Senior Center this year.

Times wanted the Globe to be dominant in its regional
market, but not so good that it would compete with the New
England edition of the New York Times. This was a tactical
business decision that proved to be strategically catastrophic.
Moves such as as cutting back the Globe’s direct national
and international coverage, replacing compelling writers
and columnists with pedestrian ones, and disregarding the
quality and vitality of the editorial pages were bad for the
morale of the institution, including its readers. The paper was
thus weakened before it faced a recession and concomitant
epochal collapse in newspaper advertising. Now the plan is
to double the newsstand price for a product every intelligent
reader knows is worth less than it used to be.
One mistake newspapers have made is to believe their
own bad press. Much is made of the generation that gets its
news on line. Too little is made of the fact when it comes
to history, or to difficult political issues slogans can’t
explain, this generation is very poorly informed. Yet much
of the generation that gets its news in on-line snippets is, if
anything, more conscientious about the future of the country
than its overly acquisitive immediately preceding cohort.
If daily newspapers didn’t exist to serve this generation as
it buys homes and makes babies, they would have to be
invented. As it is they have to adjust.
When I worked in the weekly newspaper business in the
1980’s, the publisher’s first meeting of the week was with

challenge. All donations of $20
or more received by May 1 are
matched up to $3,500. That will
get us to $7,000 very quickly.

the ad-reps. Then, he would tell the editorial people, to their
annoyance, how many pages they would have, based on the
number of ads. Daily newspapers must operate that way, and
if ad lines have dropped 50 percent, so has their value -- and
therefore so must their price. Newspapers must belatedly
adapt to the challenge of the chaotic, democratic world of the
Web, just as radio adapted to the challenge of television.
The depleted Boston Globe retains a lot of talent --
talent that will be better off when it is free of the yoke of a
New York Times now entirely concerned only with its own
survival. New management must then become obsessed with
the quality of content.

With wins over Whitman-

and Middleboro (6-5), the
Dragons now stand at 5-1 over-
all and 5-0 in Patriot League
play at the spring break.
Junior pitcher Jeff Blout

Dragons and he showed it last

hits until the sixth inning when
sophomore Phil Sciretta came
on in relief to shut down the

Sciretta contributed at the
plate as well, as he went 2 for
3 with an RBI and was helped
by junior Pat McWilliams who
went 2 for 3. Senior Shane Di-
Bona contributed a pair of RBI
in the win.
The Dragons came back

ON THE WARPATH: Senior Tyler Genereux uncorks a fastball during last week’s 8-3 win over the
Hanover Indians. Genereux struck out nine and scattered seven hits.
The game was scoreless en-
tering the bottom of the third,
but the Dragons started off
with three straight singles by
Tom Dacey, Jack Garrity, and
Genereux. Sciretta stepped to
the plate and crushed a grand
slam for what proved to be the
winning runs.
The Indians came right
back with three runs in the top
of the fourth, but the Duxbury
bats exploded once again in
the bottom of the fifth for four
more runs to put the game
away.
RBI singles by Sciretta and
Colin Woods knocked home a
pair of runs, while Dacey de-
livered the big blow of the in-
ning with a two-run double.

Warping to the future
continued from page one
Like any vital genre, the shows were, of course, about
us. Themes addressed cross-cultural tensions and prejudices,
persistent violence following the horrors of war, and the
emerging tensions between generations struggling to preserve
the values of the past and carve the values of the future,
including racing technology.
The clever old man blows a fist-full of virtual dollars
loading the first season of the original series (TOS to Trekkies)
into his tiny view screen, an iPod smaller and more capable
than anything seen on the first Enterprise. The great Starship
soared, in the language of the day, “…where no man has gone
before,” but it did so with equipment that looked like a DEC
console. Remember Digital Equipment Corporation? Even
Science Officer Spock’s hand-held Tricorder looks like a boat
anchor compared to today’s devices.
Watching the classic episodes, he is reminded of both the
brilliant insights and the glaring anachronisms of the original
show. Women are fully integrated into the ranks aboard the
Enterprise, but not command (a theme of one of the first
episodes). They are tough and brave, but dressed like figure
skaters in mini-skirted wrap-around tunics with flaps at the
rear, set off by uniform black stockings, not slacks. They are
frequently undone by their own attractions to men, human or
near human, for which they are forgiven by a wink, a comical
twitter of music, and Captain James Kirk’s final order of, “Take
her out of orbit, Mr. Sulu. Warp factor one.”
Warp drive is an SF (science fiction) convention to make
galactic travel possible despite the light-speed barrier. George
Lucas’s Star Wars universe calls it “hyperdrive.” Cosmologist
Stephen Hawking has done some popular speculating on the
possibility in his books “A Brief History of Time” and “The
Universe in a Nutshell.” Don’t hold your breath for the roll-out
of a warp-drive space liner. Hawking says the math doesn’t
quite exist yet.
In other things, we’re right on schedule. Artificial
Intelligence (an oxymoron?) is coming along, and
miniaturization is far more advanced than Gene Roddenberry
could imagine for our guys, though aliens often did even
better. I had my own experience with Star Trek technology
just this week end at the Neonatal ICU at Tufts. My fifth
grandchild, Noah Xavier Habicht, blasted out of the future on
his own schedule on April 17, three pounds four ounces of tiny
spaceman. He and his mother are doing fine, and he’s got his
own little space craft to rest in while the world catches up to
him. And the clever old man says, “Warp factor one, Mr. Sulu.
Take us to the future!”

After absorbing a 10-2
pasting at the hands of Whit-
man-Hanson on Monday, the
Lady Dragons needed a big
win over undefeated Hanover
to keep their Patriot League
title hopes alive.
Traveling to Hanover on
Wednesday, the Lady Dragons
grabbed a quick 3-0 first-in-
ning lead when senior captain
Casey Ducinski singled and
scored on an Alanna Rourke
double. Kayla McGillivray
followed with an RBI single to
bring home Rourke and even-
tually scored on a groundout.

Hanover came right back

tom of the second, scoring two tom of the fifth. A single, an

it was defense that proved to
be the answer in the seventh
when Hanover’s leadoff run-

drive to first that killed a po-
tential rally.
It was a productive after-
noon for the Duxbury offense
with Ducinski and McGil-
livray getting three hits each,
while Rourke and Walter had
two each.  Ducinski had 9K’s
in pinning Hanover with its
first loss of the year in the 5-4

Whatever excitement there
was in beating Hanover quick-

time.
Having experienced what
most Massachusetts high
schools do when they play the
Dragons probably didn’t sit
well with all the players, but it
was a welcome break and trip
following last Monday’s 14-7
win over Scituate.
As some teams have
shown, getting close to the
Dragons is possible, but beat-
ing them is highly unlikely.
Scoring the first goal of the
game and the last three of the
first half put the Sailors in a
very admirable position, hav-
ing beat Mickey Zaverucha for
seven first-half goals. But 24
minutes is only half a game,
and in the second half the
Dragons turned it on and made
Scituate just another Duxbury
victim.
Starting the second half
with a 10-7 lead, Duxbury
rarely allowed the Sailors to
get any quality possessions
in the second half, as their
defense dug in and made life
much easier for Zaverucha.
Second-half goals by
Haffey (2), senior Jake Har-
vey, and freshman Seamus
Connelly left Scituate’s upset
express at the station, as they
Sailors went down for the third
time this season.
Senior Quinn Cully and
Haffey had big games with
four goals each, while Heth-
erington (2), Hakeem Lecky,
and Brian Barry also got on
the board for Duxbury.
After taking on BC High
on Monday, the Dragons hit
the road for their annual New
York swing over school va-
cation where they will play

them. Once again Polly gave thanks that she
and 14-month old baby John didn’t get seasick;
this voyage had been a nightmare for most of the government program that required participants

gone far from their so now he was an officer in the Army Medical

fiercest weather,
extending the
voyage by many
days. Even so,
the ship pitched,
rolled and shuddered in the stormy seas for days the son he had never seen, after their harrowing
on end, while seasick mothers tried their best
to cope with their seasick children. Worse yet,
it was December, and this was how they had
spent Christmas! The year was 1952 and Polly
Bowers was one of 125 wives
plus all their children who had
met in Seattle on their way to join
their husbands in Japan, courtesy
of the U.S. Military. In Seattle
they were given three days of
briefing on Japanese customs,
then embarked into the violent
seas. “Thank God,” thought
Polly, “This voyage is nearly
over!”
Polly Markey was born on
Jan. 31, 1924 in East Walpole.
“I loved growing up in a small
town,” says Polly. “I was
something of a tomboy. I liked
to play marbles with Lenny, John and Polly Bowers met on a blind date in 1943, and according
a neighbor boy my age, and to them both it was “love at first sight.”
I beat him as often as he beat
me, maybe more often.” Polly went through
the Walpole school system and decided to be a
nurse. She trained at the University Hospital
School of Nursing in Boston, graduating in
1945. But a year before graduation an event
occurred that changed the course of her life. She while house hunting. They bought a large

School of Medicine student by the name of John accommodate the family they expected and to
Bowers.
John Bowers was born Nov. 27, 1920, the
oldest of three boys. They lived in a triple
decker in the part of Dorchester known as
“Old Roxbury.” That qualified him for free
acceptance at Roxbury Latin School, provided
he could pass the entrance examination.
John says, “I just squeaked in,” but he did

well enough to be accepted at Harvard. John
graduated from Harvard in 1943, then entered
the Boston University School of Medicine. It
was there, a year later, that John met Polly on
that fateful blind date.
Trite as it sounds, they both claim it was
“love at first sight.” They dated for six long
years before they thought they could afford to

get married. “That was the biggest mistake
of my life, missing out on those six years we
could have been married,” says John. During
that time John got his MD, did three years of
residency at Boston City Hospital and received
Board Certification in his specialty, pediatrics.
The cost of his education was covered by a
to serve in the military for a specified period,
1950. Shortly thereafter Polly found she was
pregnant and in May John was sent overseas to
Japan, so Baby John was born while his father
was in absentia. A year later military families
were allowed overseas, under certain conditions.
That was how John was reunited with Polly and
voyage across the Pacific. As is often the case
with the Army, things can change unexpectedly.
It was only six months before they all returned
to the United States. “But it was a delightful
six months,” says Polly. “We were together as a
family for the first time, and I loved Japan. It’s a
beautiful country.”
Back in Massachusetts John, Polly, and
baby John lived temporarily with John’s father
Victorian house in Roslindale, big enough to
provide office space for John’s growing pediatric
practice. Soon the family started growing, too.
Paul, Kathy, Tricia and Julie arrived over the
next few years.
John’s practice prospered, and he and Polly
wanted to get the children out of the city during
the summer. So they bought a summer home in
Scituate and Polly and the children spent their
summers there. The children
learned to swim, sail, and play
tennis. Dad joined them most
weekends and the entire month
of July every year.
In 1979 John and Polly
decided to build an all-year
home on 3rd Cliff in Scituate
and move there permanently.
The children were grown and
starting out on their own and the
six-bedroom house in Roslindale
was now too large and too much
to care for. They loved the
Scituate house and its location,
with a beautiful view out over
the marsh and a pond so close
that, according to John, “I could
almost catch a fish by holding
my pole out the window.” They lived there for
another 20 years after John retired in 1988. With
John’s retirement they also became snowbirds,
spending the winters in sunny Naples, Florida.
At the urging of their children, the Bowers
decided to move to a retirement community last
year. They moved to the Village at Duxbury in
November, 2008.
