examine the DPW first, saying
felt the management practices
had become “a little relaxed.”
Tonaszuck interviewed
DPW managers and employ-
ees as well as other town of-

partment records and spoke
to experts in the field before
crafting his final report. To-

Congestion at Route 3 off-ramps will be worse, says engineer
By Justin Graeber, Clipper Editor
justin@duxburyclipper.com
The Route 3 off-ramps at
Exit 10 are traffic nightmares,
and an expansion of the Island
Creek 40B development is
likely to make things worse.
That was the message sent
by engineer Bob Houston at a
public hearing Thursday night,
as Duxbury’s Zoning Board of
Appeals continues to weigh
the Island Creek project.
Houston, who is an engi-
neer hired by the town to re-
view the applicant’s proposal,
also said the situation could be
improved by adding a traffic
signal at the entrance to Island
Creek. A traffic light would be
only the second in Duxbury,
the only other light in town is
located at the intersection of
Route 14 and Route 3A.
“The Route 3 ramps have
some real operational issues,”
Houston told the board of
Thursday. He said the ramps
have a higher crash rate than
the state average. According
to an intersection rating sys-
tem used by MassHighway
based on wait times, the off
ramps both get worse than an
“F” rating with traffic from the
planned expansion factored
in.
“The model is unable to
compute the delay because
its so overcapacity,” Houston
said.
He added that while Is-
land Creek isn’t causing the

Weather Reflections
What has happened to spring? Along the South Shore, we have
been faced with a dearth of extended spring weather, more often
moving rapidly from days of cool sea-breezes directly to summer
temperatures in the 80’s. This year was no exception with the high
80’s even on the coast this past weekend.

By Justin Graeber, Clipper Editor

The man who conducted
the most recent survey of Dux-
bury’s Department of Public
Works was once on the other
side of the table. In 2001, Wal-
ter Tonaszuck was Duxbury’s
DPW Director. At the time,
a management study
was conducted by
William Albritton,
who was the chair-
man of the town’s
personnel board.
The 2001 study con-
was “getting the job
done,” but contained
some criticism of
Tonaszuck’s manage-
ment style.
In his report, Albritton
wrote that the Department had
few complaints about equip-
of productivity. Morale is a
“mixed bag,” he wrote, “but is
generally seen as fair.
However, the report was
less positive about Tonaszuck’s
“Few people that I inter-
viewed had anything positive
to say about the Director’s
leadership style or his way of
dealing with people,” Albrit-
ton wrote.
Some DPW workers Al-
britton interviewed were criti-
cal of Tonaszuck’s treatment
of employees.
Others, how-
ever, said they had
no problem with
Tonaszuck’s man-
agement.
“I like the man
myself,” said one
person quoted by
Albritton. “He
doesn’t put up
with anyone’s
BS.”
Albritton also wrote that
Tonaszuck seemed to be
“aware of some of his own
short-comings and was genu-
inely trying to improve ...”
Tonaszuck left Duxbury
in 2001 to take a job as DPW
Director in Bourne where he
worked until 2003.
Albritton was not avail-
able for comment on the report
at press time.

just trying to understand it.
It’s a very well done report but
it’s very critical. It goes to de-
scribe individuals but they are
not able to defend themselves.
There are a number of people
here who are singled out.”
“This is not a morale build-
er,” Donato concluded.
“It might be,” countered
Tonaszuck.
Sullivan ended the discus-
sion about the officer manager
and other employees saying
it was not the right forum to
talk about individual town em-

highlight more than two doz-
en specific findings and rec-
ommendations for improve-
ment. He said the town must
do a better job managing its
roads with its state highway
money and stop spending it
on purposes other than paving
and road construction. Since
2006, the DPW has spent al-
most $300,000 of its highway
funding on equipment. Dux-
bury receives approximately
$400,000 a year from the state
for its road repaving and re-
pair program. Tonaszuck said
the town should be fixing eight
miles of road per year to pre-
vent them from deteriorating.
According to Tonaszuck, there
is a shortfall in the town’s
road maintenance program;
$800,000 is needed to keep up
the town’s streets.
Tonaszuck listed inadequa-
cies he found in the water and
sewer department and offered
ways to make it more efficient.
These included reducing staff-
ing and making better use of
technology.
“The water department
needs to do more,” said To-
naszuck, referring to docu-
menting work to “show that
monies and effort are being
well spent.”
Tonaszuck’s other recom-
mendations included the fol-
lowing:
• Create an engineer-
ing department to support the
DPW or recruit local profes-
sionals for an engineering de-
sign advisory committee;
• Re-institute an annual
program in the water depart-
ment for flushing the town’s
water mains to ensure the best
quality of drinking water;
• Develop a better wa-
ter conservation program to
prevent damaging the town’s
aquifer;
• Conduct a water rate
study to make sure residents
are paying a fair amount as
there is a $1.2 million surplus
in the water account;
• Reduce overtime and
save money at the transfer sta-
tion by closing it at 3:30 p.m
instead of 4 p.m.
• Replace the deteriorat-
ing highway garage and Mill-
brook water pumping station
garage;
• Consolidate grounds
maintenance services between
the DPW and the school de-
partment; and
• Consolidate vehicle
maintenance between the
DPW and police and fire de-
partments.
The selectmen’s reaction
to the report was mixed.
“This is going to be tough
for a lot of people to swallow.
It’s personal for sure and it’s a
small town,” Donato said.
Sullivan said she was less
concerned about personnel
problems than that the lack of
employee training.
“Human resources stuff is

Sullivan. “I’m concerned that
“It’s a very well done report but it’s very
critical. It goes to describe individuals but
they are not able to defend themselves...
This is not a morale builder.”

people aren’t getting the train-
ing they need. That’s some-
thing we really need to look
at.”
Selectman Jon Witten said
he felt that the report could be
looked at as a blueprint for fu-
ture action.
“I’m very interested in the
substantive piece,” he said.
“I’d like to hear a summary

of which of these issues the
selectmen should now move
forward with. Just what do we
do with this?”
MacDonald viewed the
report as a “tool” to be used
to make “more efficient deci-
sions.”
“It’s up to department
heads to work with DPW di-
rector Peter Buttkus so we can
improve this department,” he
said, adding: “It’s the task of
the DPW director to sit with
managers to create an action
plan.”
It was the first of many
town department reviews, he
said.
Witten said he hoped for
an update of the progress of
improvement in the DPW at
some future date.
DPW Director Peter Butt-
kus was present at the Board
of Selectmen’s meeting but
did not comment on the study.

Highway traffic a concern GOODRICH

for Island Creek expansion LUMBER
DUXBURY HARDWARE CORP.
continued from page one

problem –– the ramps have 40 INDEPENDENCE ROAD • KINGSTON

been identified as issues by
MassHighway for some time
–– the planned expansion
would compound delays, and
could back up traffic onto
Route 3 itself during peak traf-
fic hours.
However, Houston be-
lieves traffic lights would es-
sentially fix the problem.
“We have a solution, which
is signalization of the ramps,”
he said.
Houston said there are two
options: a light in front of the
First Baptist Church, which is
essentially directly across from
the highway ramp, or a light to
the left of the existing com-
mercial building at 20 Trem-
ont Street. There is currently a
driveway there, but not a true
entrance to the development.
Houston said the second
option would work well with
the idea of creating a “loop
road,” an idea that the devel-
opers say they are not inclined
to build.
“I think a second entrance
makes a lot of sense,” said
Houston. “I’m hoping the loop
road isn’t dead, I think it has a
lot of merit to it.”
Houston also took issue
with some parts of the traf-
fic study, and suggested it be
reworked. His office came up
with some different numbers
for peak traffic hours than
the applicant’s engineer, who
was not present at Thursday’s
meeting.
Houston also said that the
study assumed the commercial
spaces in the Island Creek ex-
pansion would be medical and
office space, while his under-
standing was that the project
would include some retail. Re-
tail spaces have a higher rate
of customers than office space,
The bad traffic conditions cre-
ated by the Exit 10 off ramps
from Route 3 is a major
concern for Zoning Board of
Appeals members consider-
ing the Island Creek expan-
sion. The congestion and dif-
ficult traffic conditions were
highlighted by this accident

although some residents at
the meeting pointed out that
Island Creek residents could
walk to the stores.
He also suggested that the
developer add as many as 167
additional parking spaces, al-
though he believes that num-
ber would come down if the
study is redone.
In addition to the traffic
issues, the board and the ap-
plicant discussed some archi-
tectural changes to the devel-
opment’s original plan.
Design review architect
Keith Patterson pointed out
that the condos and apart-
ment buildings proposed in
the expansion, at four stories,
are two stories higher than the
townhouses in the existing de-
velopment. He also said that
the buildings had an “urban”
feel that was out of character
with the other Island Creek
buildings.

However, representatives

Paul Arsenian was given
an award for his years of civic
contributions to the town of
Duxbury. Among his many
accomplishments is cooking
“thousands” of pancakes for
the Mother’s Day breakfast.
He has also served on the Fi-
nance Committee and the Fis-

has acted as chairman of Dux-
bury’s School Building Com-
mittee, Special Home Rule
Committee and By-law Study
Committee.
Lydia Hart of the Duxbury
Thrift Shop was given the
“Community Impact Award”
for her work at the shop. In
fact, many of the presenters
and nominees took pride in
pointing out, as the evening
progressed, the various articles
of clothes they’d purchased at
the shop.
Fran Sullivan, who could
not attend the dinner, was giv-
en the “Youth Impact Award”
for his work with Duxbury
Boy Scouts.
Dan Hall and Chris Blake
were jointly given the “Global
Humanitarian Award” for their
work with an orphanage in
Uganda.
“He has a calling to help
those less fortunate than him-
self,” Fagan said of Blake dur-
ing the ceremony,
Peg McLaughlin was giv-
en the “Duxbury Humanitar-

the community’s senior popu-

Bill and Maggie Kear-
ney were given the “Lifetime

years of service to the town.
Maggie is most recognized for
her distinguished service as a
selectman. She also serves as
co-chair of the July 4th parade
committee, and is president of
the Duxbury Beach Reserva-
tion. The couple is active with
the Friends of the Duxbury
Council on Aging; Bill also
serves as a member of the Ca-

At the end of the evening,
all the nominees were given
citations from Duxbury’s leg-

“The contributions you’ve
made are something I think we
can all learn from,” said State
Representative Tom Calter.

a new truck would have cost
over $400,000, according to

West. He said the repairs cost
about what the truck cost new

There’s only one compa-

specifically designed to fight
brush fires, West said.
“It’s a very tough truck,”
he said.
The all-wheel drive ve-

a fire, and firefighters basically
use them to clear a path around
a brush fire.
“When you’re battling
these wood fires, they’re so
unpredictable,” said West.
The trucks can hold 750
gallons of water, and differ
from traditional fire engines in
that they can pump water and
drive at the same time. Other

wanted to bring to your
attention a certain in-
dividual who is part of
your team.
About four weeks ago my
dad’s (Wilbur Stratton) beloved
parrot Talulah got loose out-
side our home. When my dad
let our dog Bruin out, that was
Talulah’s chance to spring to
freedom. She flew right out the
door. I received a frantic call
from my father that the bird
was loose and he did not know
what to do. As I ran outside, I
could see that they were calling
out to Tallulah who happened
to be in the highest tree in our
neighbor’s yard.
After an hour of trying to
coax her down, I took a chance
and called the Duxbury Ani-
mal Control. Thirty minutes
later, our hero arrived in the
form of Edward Ramos, along
with his wife, ready to spring
into action. After two hours of
climbing trees with my brother-
in-law in tow, Ed was able to
coax Talulah into his hands and
bring her back to us.
As Ed was climbing down,
Talulah was fighting to escape.
She was biting and grabbing
his hand to free herself. Final-
ly, he was able to contain her
and hand her off to, and soon
she was back home and safe.
I noticed as Ed came down
from the tree, his hands were
bleeding. What I did not know
was he had just had skin graft-
ing due to burns he suffered in
an accident. We offered imme-
diate assistance, but Ed insisted
he was fine and declined our
help.
Here is a man who unself-
ishly interrupted grocery shop-

who did the same with their banks in the 90’s and are now
languishing with a stock market at a 25 year low.
It’s all about personal responsibility. Not one single
official in charge during the economic meltdown has come
forward to say “Sorry, we really screwed up.” Not that it
would make us feel better, but acknowledgement of past
mistakes is the only solid foundation on which a recovery
can be built. No one, not politician nor voter, is taking
responsibility for the crippling $11 trillion and mounting
national debt on which we paid $451 billion in interest
payments last year.
Democrats would have to admit that they have to stop
spending the next generations’ money on government
programs, whether or not they have merit. Republicans
would have to admit that eight years of tax cuts without
cuts to government spending have brought us to the brink
of bankruptcy. There is absolutely no difference between
increasing government spending, and cutting taxes without
cutting government. Either way, we are spending money
we don’t have and have no hope of paying back in our
generation.
In couples counseling, the counselor would say “It took
both of you to screw this up and it’s going to take both of
you to fix it.” The counselor would go on to point out that we
could either endlessly blame each other, which will change
nothing, or we can move forward from here, together.
The vindictiveness of the partisan attacks has another
numbing effect. It numbs us to the fact that we are all
Americans, all in this together, just with different viewpoints.
Try this test: If the political speech you are using would be
unprintable if you substituted an ethnic or religious group
for the political group you are attacking, then the speech you
are using is hate speech. Hate speech is not only cowardly,
it is paralyzing. And it is paralyzing us to the huge task we
all face to get the economy back to some point of common
sense.

Myths and facts
Author Tony Horwitz recently visited Duxbury to talk about
his book “A Voyage Long and Strange.” Former Clipper books
T
columnist Bob Hale reviewed the book when it was first pub-
lished, that review is reprinted here. – Ed.
ony Horwitz took us along when he retraced the
voyages of Captain Cook in one of my all time favorite
books, “Blue Latitudes,” made himself famous with
“Confederates in the Attic,” followed by “Baghdad Without a
Map,” and now rediscovers the New World, in what may be his
best book yet, A Voyage Long and Strange.”
To prepare us for the trip he provides quotations from
James Joyce’s, “Ulysses,”
“Mistakes….are the portals
of discovery,” and Miguel de
Cervantes’s, Don Quixote,
“’Pray look better, sir,’ quoth
Sancho, ‘those things yonder
are no giants, but windmills.’”
Reading all forward
material, ie quotations,
prologues, prefaces, etc.,
before beginning a work of
non-fiction is essential to
understanding what follows. In this instance, we learn that
Horwitz “washed up in Plymouth……..It could have been
Dedham or Braintree or some other pit stop on the highway near
Boston.” Walking along the waterfront he came to “the rock”
where he heard, “That’s it?” “We’ve got rocks bigger than that
in our yard.” “The Pilgrims must have had small feet.”
Claire Olsen, the park ranger on duty, told him such
questions were the least of it. Tourists want to know why 1492
isn’t carved into the rock. “Wasn’t that when Columbus arrived?”
“Is this where the three ships landed?” (Meaning the Nina, the
Pinta and the Santa Maria.) There is much confusion about
Plymouth being where American history
began. Some wonder why Pocahontas
isn’t next to Squanto, “and….Hiawatha.”
Having graduated a history major
from a private school and a university,
Horwitz groaned at some people’s
ignorance of their nation’s past, but then
realized, “I’d matriculated to middle
age with a third grader’s grasp of early
America.” That sent him off to find out
what happened before the Mayflower
passengers were greeted by an English-
speaking native. Research included site
inspections as well as archival research.
It would be hard to say which is more fascinating, what he
sees in the twenty-first century or what he finds in documents
describing events long before 1620.
The oldest confirmed Norse settlement is L’Anse
aux Meadows, dated around AD 1,000. Horwitz went to
Newfoundland to explore The Viking Trail. Current inhabitants
were neither friendly nor impressed by his pursuit. While
describing what he finds, Horwitz gives us the story of the
Sagas and Leif Eiriksson – to jog our memories in case we have
forgotten.
Then he does the same with Giovanni da Verrazzano,
Amerigo Vespucci and Christopher Columbus. Of the three
Columbus caused the greatest stir and never gave up on his goal
of reaching the Orient, not understanding “the immensity of what
he’d done.” In 1508 Spanish colonists trickled into Puerto Rico
and Cuba, and from there went on to Mexico and South America.
Following tales of incredible riches, Spanish conquerors had by
1513, destroyed an “empire larger than Rome’s at its peak.” In
Horwitz’s narrative Cortes, Pizarro, Balboa become flesh and
blood figures – none bloodier than the conquistador Francisco
Vasquez de Coronado who trudged thousands of miles across the
Southwest seeking cities of gold.
If Coronado is the cruelest invader from Europe, the Zuni are
the most enduring of the native tribes. Through guile and quiet
strategy they survived the onslaught, and continue to survive
with their language and spiritual lives relatively intact. “Though
hit by the first wave of Spanish conquest, they nonetheless
occupy the same territory they did when Europeans encountered
them over 450 years ago.”
Horwitz takes us to Maine, Florida and Virginia. The Spanish
came seeking gold, covering greed with the gloss of bringing The
Church to savages. The French used that excuse also but shed
less blood. The English needed land for an expanding population
of undesirables and markets for their goods. Piety served their
purpose.
Returning to Massachusetts, the author sees Plymouth, “not
as the cornerstone of early America, but as its capstone, piled on
a cairn erected by all those who came before.”
tells him, “The story here may not be correct, but it transcends
truth. It’s like religion – beyond facts. Myth trumps fact, always
Traveling anywhere with Tony Horwitz is always an
adventure, never more so than on “A Voyage Long and Strange.”

Camp Wing cleanup
American Student Assistance employees pitch in for third year
A
By Julia Swem, Clipper Intern
merican Student
Assistance em-
ployees dedicated
two of their business day to
help clean up Camp Wing
for the summer. The idea of
the Annual Employee Day in
Duxbury was put together by
Garret Ross of ASA, and has
been very successful for three
years now.
The volunteers work on
projects that Deb Samuels, the
head of Camp Wing, thought
needed to get done. Because
this year the days were held
in April instead of May, there
were different tasks that need-
ed to be accomplished. These
projects were mainly cleaning
up from the wear and tear of
the winter and included raking
leaves, washing and sweeping
cabins, picking up fallen brush,
and getting the kitchen up and
running. About 50 people vol-
unteer each day, and the help
means a lot to Samuels.
“Having these volunteer
days are a huge help because
without them our staff would
have to do all this and would
not have as much time to fo-
cus on the kids,” Samuels said.
She’s also thankful for dona-
tions given during these hard
times, like the power washers
that were donated for the day.
American Student As-
sistance is a financial orga-
nization that handles student
loans. They help students and
parents understand how tak-
ing out a student loan works as
well as getting them the right
information at the right time.

4 Duxbury Clipper
Bay Players make it light
continued from page one
evening of fun where even the glitches (I counted only two)
gave an element of Mel Brooks comedy. There was a very
funny telephone ring that just might have been intentional. As
Stan Burgess once told me ages ago, it’s not supposed to be
a professional theater. That’s why they call it “community
theater!”
Stan played the General, late of the East India Army, in
the third show, Colin Campbell Clements’ “Yesterday.” Stan’s
foggy old man is a scream, and Judy McGoodwin’s Lady
of Quality is a charming, priceless counterpoint to Stan’s
bewildered gentleman. Judy’s grace reminds me of Eleanor
Bron, a favorite English actress. Don’t be fooled by the old
man’s long pauses – they’re in the script! I won’t spoil the
ending, but the little gem of a play has more to say about love
and hope than most writers can fit into three acts.
“Fourteen” opens the evening, a glittering drawing room
comedy (dining room, I should say) by Alice Gerstenberg. The
show fills the stage with characters while only three appear
before you. Marie Miller plays the florid socialite, Lady
Trevor, to a T. Her swirling set of the best (or worst) of the
best guests of England never appear, yet fill the room with
humor. Dunham, the butler, and Lady Trevor’s debutante
daughter provide the double-edged foil for Lady Trevor’s
comic flourishes. Nathaniel Budd and Tori Clough keep the
action flying, Tori every bit the long-suffering debutante and
Nathaniel a master of the comic “take” as Lady Trevor’s
demands twist and fold through the night.
“A Matter of Husbands” by Ferenc Molnar comes next,
with Marcie Herold as a fetching “Famous Actress” and
Elizabeth Layman playing the Scorned Wife who comes to
confront the actress in her dressing room. I won’t spoil the
kicker for this one either, but be prepared to be sophisticated.
Molnar was, after all, continental.
I’ll let the evening unfold for you, and let you see how
Maura has subtly woven the three stories together with a little
magical theater dust. The Zone Theater is at the downtown
end of Webster Street in Marshfield (822), well marked by a
sign and a couple of waving theater types (including Larry
Loveridge the night I went). Call 800-290-6825 for reservation
and other information. The show runs this weekend for a final
two performances Friday and Saturday nights, May 1 and 2, at
8 p.m.
Be prepared – it’s not a proscenium stage. But it’s not
bare bones either. It’s community theater, and you’ll be close
enough to smell the grease paint and the charm. The evening
runs quickly and fills you up with laughter, beauty, and an
eyeful of grand Victorian splendor.

The 2009 Bay State Sum-
mer Games are scheduled for

fiers and tryouts will be held
throughout June. Competitions
will be held at top notch sport-
ing venues including Bentley
University, Harvard Univer-
sity, MIT, Reggie Lewis Track

sity of Massachusetts Boston,
and the New England Sports
Center.

Some distinguishing char-
acteristics of the Bay State
Games include giving T-shirts

award jackets to top finishers,
affordable participation fees,
and providing athletes with
valuable exposure to college
scouts.
High school students who
are in 11th grade during the
2008-09 academic year and
tryout for the 2009 Summer
Games are also eligible for the
Verizon Future Leaders Schol-

$2,000 college scholarships to
Bay State Games participants
each summer, aims to identify
young men and women who
will be tomorrow’s leaders.
New for 2009, the Bay
State Games have added an
initiative to award high schools
across the commonwealth for
their students’ participation in
the Summer Games. The High
School Spirit Program was cre-
ated to recognize those schools
that have the highest number
of athletes in the 2009 Sum-
mer Games. Every high school
in Massachusetts is eligible to
win a portion of the $5,200 in
grants that will be awarded.
Schools have been separated
into three categories by size to
give everyone an opportunity
to win the much-needed funds
for their athletic department.

them for a week or so in the

of their main goals is to let

should try to take advantage of
it. This is exactly why teaming
up with American Student As-

20 Duxbury Clipper Wednesday, April 29, 2009

As the real estate market changes, so do the companies that successfully list and sell real estate.

What makes a home sell? Exposure and Price.

The Sobran Group is a marketing company selling real estate.

“I received your marketing letter last month in regard to potential buyers for homes in the Liberty Pole sec-
tion of Hingham. We have been considering a move. Although we have not made a final decision as of yet,
we would be interested in your analysis. I was considering your company even before I received this letter, as
I have viewed some listings on your website and I am very impressed with your use of technology in listing
properties. It’s amazing how other firms haven’t grasped technology the same way, seeing that more time is
spent viewing homes online than in person...especially for the preliminary screening.” - M.O., Hingham

The Sobran Group doesn’t just list homes, we sell homes.
