Town Manager Richard
MacDonald has appointed a
retired Wakefield police chief
with 34 years
of experience
as Duxbury’s
interim police
chief until a
permanent
successor to
former chief

On Monday, MacDonald
announced to the Board of
Selectmen that he has chosen
Stephen Doherty of Water-

ald also introduced Stephen
Unsworth, a retired Waltham

We are all oyster farmers

Island Creek donates, seeds community bed
By Justin Graeber, Clipper Editor
justin@duxburyclipper.com
Island Creek Oysters has
been providing their delicious
seafood fare to events around
Duxbury for years. But now
residents have two more ways
to get involved in oyster farm-
ing in a more hands-on sense.
The oyster farming col-
laborative provides oysters
that have grown too large, or
are otherwise unsuitable for
commercial sale, in what Har-
bormaster Don Beers called a
“put and take” program. The
oysters are simply placed in
areas where they can be easily
collected.
“We picked areas were
they would be readily available
to the recreational harvester,”
Beers said. Island Creek has
been donating thousands of
bushels to our recreational
diggers ... it’s really quite a
program.”
The oysters are available
in selected areas with ample
parking, and a minimal envi-
ronmental impact, Beers said.
Locations are off Mattakeesett
Court, Maxwell’s Point, and
off the East end of the Pow-
der Point Bridge, utilizing the
beach parking.
Beers said the put and take
program has been going on
for five years. But he is most
excited about a new program
Island Creek started this year,
seeding a community bed in
Seal Island Flat.
Beers said Island Creek’s
Skip Bennett came to him with
the idea of seeding an oyster
bed that would be available to
the community, and worked
with the Harbormaster’s de-
partment to scout the perfect
location.
“This project is one that
Island Creek Oyster farmers
have been looking forward to
for years,” said Bennett in a
statement, as many of the Is-
land Creek staff were in Zanzi-
bar working on an aquaculture
project in that country. “We
are thrilled to work with the
town’s shellfish department
to start our own aquaculture
project that will benefit the
residents of Duxbury. By this
time next year, the oysters will
be available for picking.”
Beers said he worked with
the Board of Selectmen to
get a license for the town to
propagate shellfish. He said
the company donated about
250,000 oysters, a value of
about $100,000 on the open
market.
Once grown, the oysters
belong to the town.
Bill Bennett shovels oyster seed into the Seal Island Flats with the
Power Point Bridge in the background. Island Creek Oyster founder
/ owner Skip Bennett looks on, along with Harbormaster Don Beers,
John Brawley and Jake Emerson.
“It’s our bed,” said Beers.
“It’s our shellfish area ... it’s
exciting.”
Beers said the economy
may be driving people to ex-
pand their horizons –– and
their palates.
“During these difficult
economic times, people are
looking for alternatives to ev-
erything,” he said “They’re
also looking for alternative
food sources.” Therapeutic Massage and Birth Services
Beers is impressed by the At Indian Pond Country Club
company’s commitment to the
town, evident through both
programs.

As part of the research the Alternative Energy Committee has done since the last Town Meeting, a study
of potential sites was done by DNV Global Energy Concepts. Potential sites include the DPW yard, Town
Hall, the Transfer station and the North Hill Golf Course.
Wind turbine bylaw back on
continued from page one
The bylaw would grant
the Zoning Board of Appeals
the authority to grant a special
permit for a wind facility, last-
ing 25 years. Municipal-scale
facilities would be 250 feet
high or less, and small-scale
turbines would be a maximum
of 100 feet high. Other aspects
of the bylaw would govern fall
zones, appearance, noise and
removal requirements.
Duggan called the new
version of the bylaw “more
honed and polished.”
Still, other board members
had questions. Some said the
language in the bylaw wasn’t
clear enough about whether or
not a 250-foot tower would be
allowed on private property.
“It doesn’t tell you where
it is allowed,” said Planning
Board Chairwoman Amy Mc-
Nab.
Alternative Energy Com-
mittee members said the intent
was to only allow the larger
turbines on town-owned land.
“A wind turbine is only
going to make sense under
certain circumstances,” said
Duggan. “Not everywhere
could this be done.”
Committee member Andre
Martecchini agreed.
“The intent is that only
the town of Duxbury would
be able to install a municipal
facility. Even if you have 15
acres, you’re not going to be
able to build a municipal use
[turbine,]” he said.
ZBA Chairman Dennis
Murphy pointed out that a zon-
ing overlay map could outline
specific sites where a munici-
pal turbine would be allowed.
Judith Barrett said the boards
would have to be careful with

New work to premiere in
memory of DHS student
continued from page one
that will be premiering the
music.
“Last year we had talk-
ed about commissioning a
piece for Paul,” she said. “We
thought it would be ... uplift-
ing and positive, we thought it
would match his personality.”
Noerenberg had a connec-
tion with West Coast-based
film composer Rossano Gal-
ante, and said his style seemed
to fit the type of music she was
looking for.
Although a number of
South Shore schools collabo-
rated on a commissioned work
in the past, this is the first time
the high school has worked di-
rectly with a composer.
“It’s a hunt to find some-
one who you trust,” Noeren-
berg said.
DHS musicians performed
a piece by Galante last year.
“I told him I’d like it to be
similar to that piece in length
and difficulty level,” she said.
Of course, there was one spe-
cial request.
“We wanted a trumped
solo because Paul was a trum-
pet player,” Noerenberg said.
Fortini’s parents, Ken and
Kathy, were invited to a re-
hearsal a few weeks ago.
Paul Fortini was a 2007 DHS
graduate. He was also a trumpet
player in the band.
“It was very impressive,”
said Ken Fortini.
Noerenberg said the stu-
dents got the music for the
piece in August, and have been
rehearsing since then. She said
Galante did talk to the Fortinis
before completing the work.
“I was really happy with
it,” she said. “The students
love it, and they’re having a
great time.”
Some of the students in
the band were freshmen when
Paul Fortini was a senior at
Duxbury High School. No-
erenberg said the tragedy was
initially very tough on the stu-
dents, but they have rallied
around the music.

Stephen Doherty appointed chief
continued from page one
lieutenants and found them “all
very professional and very co-
operative.”
“I hope to bring stable and
unbiased management to the
department for the short term,”
said Doherty.
His employment is for a pe-
riod not to exceed six months,
he said. Doherty will not be a
candidate for Duxbury’s police
chief position, said MacDon-
ald.
Doherty was chief of po-
lice in Wakefield from 1991
until his retirement in 2003.
He worked on the Watertown
police department for 16 years
and also in New Bedford for
six years. Since his retirement
as police chief, he has worked
in law enforcement consulting
and public safety management

for private companies and pub-
lic industries.
As far as the search for
a more permanent person to
replace DeLuca goes, Un-
sworth said it will take four to
six months to find a new chief,
adding that he placed the first
ad for a chief this week in the
Massachusetts Chiefs of Police
newsletter.
“Four months is optimistic,
six months is the longest,” said
Unsworth.
Unsworth said he will work
closely with the screening com-


mittee MacDonald is planning


to appoint, and will also meet
with police officers and com-
munity officials to determine
the strengths and weaknesses of
the department. He plans to an-
alyze the department’s policies,
procedures and crime statistics
and he said he will give police
department employees a confi-
dential questionnaire they can
answer and submit unsigned
and sealed. Unsworth said the
screening committee may even
assemble a citizen’s question-
DeLuca asks to reopen negotiations
Update
By Susanna Sheehan, Clipper Staff
Former police chief Mark
DeLuca wants to re-open ne-
gotiations for a contract set-
tlement with Duxbury select-
men, Town Manager Richard
MacDonald said Monday.
According to MacDon-
ald, on Monday, DeLuca’s at-
torney informally asked Dux-
bury’s town counsel Robert
Troy to ask selectmen if they
would consider re-extending
an offer to DeLuca.
On Oct. 23, the Board of
Selectmen voted to rescind a
settlement offer after DeLuca
apparently refused to sign it.
The offer was generated on
Oct. 5, after selectmen met
behind closed doors and vot-
ed unanimously in favor of a
tentative settlement. Howev-
er, over the course of the next
two weeks, DeLuca never
signed the agreement. No ex-
planation has been given.
DeLuca’s contract will

search for a permanent police chief.
naire for the public’s input.
By looking at the needs of
Duxbury’s police department
and the information from its
citizens, Unsworth plans to
develop a profile of how best
to manage the department and
determine what type of chief
would be a good match for the
town.
Unsworth said he will ad-
vertise the position nationally
and regionally and expects that
60 to 100 people will apply
for the job. Hamilton, where
Unsworth conducted a recent
search, received 90 applicants.
He and the screening com-
mittee will then reduce the pool
to 20 viable candidates who
will be asked to respond to a
comprehensive written ques-
tionnaire.
“I anticipate the screening
committee to have a great voice
in reducing the number of can-
didates,” Unsworth said.
When they have chosen
between four to six applicants,
those people will participate
in assessment centers, which
include intensive role-playing
to anticipate the challenges a
Duxbury chief might encounter.
The assessment centers are con-
ducted by retired police chiefs.
A report will be generated from
continue until it expires on
Nov. 20, according to Mac-
Donald. DeLuca is currently
on administrative leave, with
pay, and must refrain from
acting in any capacity relat-
ing to the Duxbury Police
Department.
Because there was no for-
mal request, selectmen took
no action on Monday.
“It seemed casual,” said
Selectmen Chairman Betsy
Sullivan of McAuliffe’s in-
quiry with Troy.
Selectman Jon Witten
said: “I would want a specific
proposal,” adding that, “if a
formal request is to be made,
we should entertain it.”
Sullivan said she saw
no reason to do this, but if
the board did decide to open
negotiations, she said she
wanted to be involved. Sul-
livan will be away and the
board is not meeting on Nov.
9 because of quorum issues,
so she asked that any discus-
sions wait until Nov. 16.

Pool demolition nearly complete

The Percy Walker Pool is
currently undergoing a mul-
timillion dollar rehabilitation
project. The pool was emptied
of water in July of 2009 and
shortly thereafter a firm was
chosen for the project. Paul J.
Rogan Company from Brain-
tree was chosen as the General
Contractor. The winning con-
struction bid was just under
1.9 million dollars.
Michael J. Hurley was
hired as the owner’s project
manager. Mr. Hurley has 30
years experience in the con-
struction field and has worked
on many municipal construc-
tion projects.
Demolition began the sec-
ond week of September and as
of today’s date, Oct. 30, it is 95
percent complete.
Some small items have
already begun, new electri-
cal service to the building has
been installed, and work on
upgrading the current utilities
of the building has nearly been
completed. Taking down of
interior walls and/or demoli-
tion of various mechanical
systems has been completed.
On a weekly basis con-
struction meetings are held on
Thursday afternoons to discuss
the project. Any concerns and
issues are handled at that time.
As in any renovation project,
various items have arisen from
time to time which were not
included in the original reha-
bilitation plans and specs that
need to be addressed.
A groundbreaking ceremo-
ny was held on Thursday, Oct.
15 with representatives from
the architectural firm, the Proj-
ect Manager, Town Manager,
the Recreation Director and the
Chairman of the Percy Walker
Pool Long Range Planning
Committee in attendance.
At this point, the renova-
tion project seems to be mov-
ing along on the time line of Helping Our Clients to Make Good Decisions Since 1967

tion. More detailed informa-

Town treading water on the budget In other business,

By Susanna Sheehan, Clipper Staff
susanna@duxburyclipper.com
Even though Duxbury is
facing deep cuts in revenues,
ever-shrinking state aid and an
operating budget that is pro-
jected to be smaller than the
current year’s budget, the town
is doing pretty well compared
to others in Massachusetts, ac-
cording to Finance Director
John Madden.
While other towns like
Hingham, Scituate and Abing-
ton are facing revenue short-
ages and layoffs, Duxbury
is “doing okay,” he told the
Board of Selectmen Monday
night.
“We believe we can weath-
er the storm while maintaining
our reserves,” he said.
He attributes Duxbury’s
good positioning to “careful
and conservative forecasting
of revenue.”
“We have gotten through
where other communities have
faltered,” said Madden. “We
don’t pretend to have revenues
to spend.”
In 2010, Duxbury’s state
aid was slashed by $500,000
from what was promised to the
town in 2009, said Madden.
Recently, the state cut another
$33,300 in assistance. Madden
expects another ten percent in
state aid reductions before the
fiscal year closes at the end of
June.
For the next fiscal year,
FY2011, Madden said he is
projecting even lower rev-
enues. He is expecting motor
vehicle excise taxes to come
in five percent lower and con-
struction related fees to be
reduced by ten percent. He is
also forecasting Chapter 70
education aid and community
funding from the lottery to
be ten percent lower than last
year.
Madden said Duxbury is
facing a town operating bud-
get nearly one percent lower
than the current year. This does
not include the school budget.
However, he is optimistic that
the town can provide services
at this reduced level and he
said that he currently sees no
layoffs and no furloughs.
“Everybody has gotten the
message we’ve been telling
them over the past years, that
times are really difficult,” said
Madden.
“We still have a long way
to go,” he added, “to fund ser-
vices while still preserving our
reserves.”
Selectman Chris Donato
wondered if Madden could
put budget figures on-line on
a quarterly basis to lend trans-
parency to the town’s finances.
While Madden said this was
possible in the future, he said
he could see some downsides
to doing this.
Town Manager Richard
MacDonald must present a
balanced budget by mid-De-
cember.
selectmen...
• Voted to allow the demolition of the town-owned abandoned fire house
on Franklin Street because it is in such poor condition with rot and
mold that it is unsafe. The vote is pending the approval of the Duxbury
Historical Commission. The fire house, along with the adjacent Grange
property, were slated to be turned into affordable housing. The Grange
is still being considered for this purpose.
• Voted to approve spending $2,000 from the Richmond Wight trust
fund for the World War I memorial. Organizer Joe Shea requested the
funds to help finish the project. The money will supplement the $75,000
in Community Preservation Act funds and private donations. Shea said
that 4,000 bricks were laid in two days by Emmett and Padraic Sheehan
of Eagles Nest Tree and Landscape of Duxbury, which donated all the
labor. According to Shea, the granite foundation for the memorial will
be in place within days and then the monument will be erected in the
spring. A dedication ceremony will take place on Armed Forces day.
• Voted to approve a conservation restriction for the town’s purchase of
94 acres of Camp Wing to be used as conservation land. Town meeting
purchased the land in 2008.
• Approved two statements of interest to be submitted to the School
Building Authority for the Duxbury middle school and high school.
These statements outline the deficiencies in the buildings in order to
place them on the list for future state funding assistance. Both buildings
are being considered for major renovations or complete replacement as
they are reaching the end of their planned lives and are facing severe
overcrowding when larger classes now in elementary school reach this
level.
• Granted an event permit for the fifth annual Holly Days on Nov. 29 from
12-4 p.m. The event will feature trolley rides to Duxbury’s shopping
areas, hay rides in the school area and pony rides in Hall’s Corner. Santa
will arrive on a fire truck to light the Christmas tree on the town green.

iii. According to Assistant Superintendent Ed
Walsh, this is where the real work occurred
regarding the start time change.
iv. I requested all information pertaining to the
Special Joint Co-Councils, per the Freedom
of Information Act. The response consisted
of a portion of the names of those present at
the meetings, and the following responses
(exact quotations):
1. “There is no charter”
2. “Minutes do not exist”
3. “Attendance records are not main-
tained”
v. One opinion could be that these meetings
constituted a required adherence to “Open
Meeting Laws”. If so, then the decision to
proceed with the school start time change
was reached in violation of the Open Meet-
ing Law.
vi. Another opinion could be that the Joint
School Co-Council is not subject to Open
Meeting Law. Then, these meetings must be
minuted and the discussion and actions re-
corded.
vii. It is very clear, however, that neither oc-
curred.
2. Openness and Communication
a. Various parts of the School District have
been cited by the District Attorney for violat-
ing Open Meeting Laws multiple times over
the past 2 years.
b. Superintendent Skeiber has been asked
to improve her communication skills in both
of her performance evaluations given to her
by the School Committee.
c. The Administration has demonstrated a
clear pattern of working in private on public
issues. Either:
i. They are unaware of the Open Meet-
ing Laws, despite numerous notices that they
are in violation.
ii. They are aware of the Open Meet-
ing Laws, and choose to ignore them.
iii. Neither of these answers is accept-
able. Is there a third option?
d. Regardless of the letter of the law, it is
clear that in spirit, the School Committee
and Superintendent have developed a pat-
tern of discussing and implementing policy
which significantly impacts the community
in complete secrecy.
3. Sleep Studies
a. The School Committee contacted
numerous “sleep study experts”.
b. All “experts” contacted were vocal
advocates for start time changes.
c. No sleep study experts were in-
volved who presented a dissenting point of
view.
d. The “Sleep Surveys” conducted on
our children gave some parents one day to
evaluate and approve their child’s participa-
tion. It was poorly planned and implement-
ed.
e. No studies have been conducted in

was a place where the Givers clearly, and vastly,

on the town Finance Committee, where I specialized in, of all
things, the Police Subcommittee, in the 1960s. Today, the Takers
would seem to have the loudest voices, but I would say that the
Givers are still (quietly) in the majority. I would shudder if this

Middle East speaker says
I
wanted to respond to
allegations in two re-
cent letters discussing
my Friday evening presenta-
tion at the Unitarian Church in
Duxbury.
I am a Jewish-American
human rights worker working
for a just peace in the Middle
East that protects the rights
and safety of all people in the
region, Israelis and Palestin-
ians alike. The recent letters
“’Peace’ activist is misleading”
and “advertisement didn’t tell
the whole truth” alleged fac-
tual inaccuracies in my work,
so I wish to offer the commu-
nity sources for my informa-
tion, so that anyone and every-
one may check these issues for
themselves. Indeed, this is my
hope.
First, both of the letters
denied that the Jenin massacre
occurred, claiming that the UN
investigations found otherwise.
On the contrary, it is thanks to
UN reports (see Report of the
Secretary-General prepared
pursuant to General Assembly
resolution ES, Oct. 10) that this
mass killing was recognized,
much as the recent Goldstone
report seeks to do after the re-
cent winter attacks on Gaza
and the Negev.
Rabbi Silverman’s letter
claimed that Israel recognizes
Palestine’s right to exist, yet Is-
raeli expansion of Jewish-only
settlements in the Palestinian
territories continues unabat-
ed according to Israeli hu-
man rights organizations like
B’tselem. These settlements are
towns where Rabbi Silverman

percent of the land in Israel,
which is managed by the Jewish
National Fund. As non-Jewish
citizens of a Jewish state, they
live in Israel as I or any Ameri-
can Jew could expect to live if
the US became the sovereign
state of the Christian White
people. They are second-class
citizens, extensively docu-
mented by B’tselem, Amnesty
International, Human Rights
Watch, and British reporter
Jonathan Cook in his telling
2008 article, “The Unwanted
Who Stayed.”
Lastly, both letters claimed
that I support violence in refer-
ence to intifada, an Arabic word
which translates in English as
“shaking off” or “rebellion.”
The first intifada was largely
nonviolent, and as someone
who believes in the power-
ful role played by nonviolent
resistance in the Civil Rights
Movement, I am proud to sup-
port Palestinian and Israeli
nonviolent resistance to the
occupation, a thriving move-
ment that gives me very much
hope. In fact, this often under-
reported nonviolent resistance
movement was a major topic in
Friday’s presentation.
I welcome everyone inter-
ested in peace in the Middle
East to see for themselves my
work and my message.
As someone who didn’t be-
lieve Israel could do anything
wrong in spite of claims to the
contrary, I certainly do not ex-
pect others to simply take my
word for it any more than the
aforementioned letters should
be taken as truth without check-
ing the facts. I hope readers
will take the time to judge for
themselves who I am, and what
we can all do as Americans and
human beings to ensure equal
rights and freedoms for all
people in the Middle East, no
matter who.

A 7-1 blowout of North 1BVM
#SPHOB
1&

Quincy got the week off to a
rousing start, and it continued
on Thursday with a 3-1 win
over Hingham.
Duxbury struck quickly,
as Jen Moore came out of the
right corner less than five min-
utes into the contest and beat
Hingham goalkeeper Katie
Walsh with a blast into the top
far corner, putting Duxbury
ahead 1-0.
A Hingham timeout
seemed to get the Harbor-
women back on track, as they
responded with a corner and
a couple of bursts downfield
that produced a pair of shots
that went wide of the net.
Another Hingham corner
at the five-minute mark pro-
duced no results, but it did
send the Duxbury offense in
transition, with Caitlin Burke
dribbling into the box and just
missing a goal when her shot
went by the left post.
The second half started
with the fans hardly seated
and the players still milling
around their benches when
TRAFFIC JAM: Duxbury goaltender Emily Brook leaps to make a save during Saturday’s 1-0 win over
Pembroke.
Moore notched her second of
the afternoon to give the Lady
Dragons some breathing room
at 2-0.
It looked like the Lady
Dragons were about to take a
3-0 lead at the 29-minute mark
when Emily Gallagher broke
in alone, but her shot went up
and over the crossbar, as the
lead remained at two.
Hingham would pressure
the Duxbury defense the rest
of the half, forcing Brook to
make a couple of big saves.
However, Gallagher took the
pressure off of Duxbury when
she gathered in a loose ball and
fired it into the top corner with
3:23 to go to ice the victory.
Hingham’s Kate Bailey
ruined Brook’s attempt for
her fifth shutout of the season
when she scored with 21 sec-
onds left in the game.
On Saturday, Duxbury
tangled with a desperate Pem-
broke squad that needed a tie
or a win to qualify for post-
season play. The Lady Drag-
ons had barely beaten (2-1) the
Titans just two weeks earlier,
so Coach Emerson Coleman
knew his team was in for a
battle.
With winds whipping
around, the Titans had it going
their way in the first half. For
25 minutes, play stayed on the
Duxbury side of the field, as
Pembroke had several corners
and the defense was on con-
stant alert.
Momentum swung over

Photo by Mike Halloran
the final 15 minutes, as the
Lady Dragons earned a pair of
corners and kept the visitors
off the board–a strategy Cole-
man was hoping for.
With the wind in Dux-
bury’s favor for the second
half it was expected that the
Lady Dragons would pep-
per Pembroke keeper Alex
Smith. It failed to happen, as
Pembroke’s desperate circum-
stances kept the pressure on
Brook and the defense.
A Katie Finocchiaro blast
early in the half was Dux-
bury’s best chance for a go-
ahead goal, while the Duxbury
defense had its hands full with
the never-say-die Titans. Plumbing & Heating, Electrical,

is the Duxbury supermarket off Hall’s Corner, next to the post
office. Drop food off, or go inside to shop for the council’s
needs while you do your own shopping. They’ll be sure to tell
you what they need.
Donate money by sending checks payable to the Duxbury
Interfaith Council, P.O. Box 1161, Duxbury, MA 02331. Any
amount helps. Donate yourself by volunteering Monday, Nov.
23 from 9 a.m. -3 p.m. sorting and packing food, or Tuesday,
Nov. 24 from 9 a.m.-12 p.m. Loading food into cars begins at
noon on the 23rd, with limited home delivery after 2 p.m.
Donate joy by baking goodies – cookies, brownies, quick-
breads, pies, cakes – and dropping them off no later than
Sunday, Nov. 22. When you’ve done baking for joy, bake for
yourself. Peace settles in a stressed family when food has been
taken off the problem list for a few days. But home-baked
goodies bring more than peace. They bring joy and hope. Trust
me on this. And if your goodies taste better with butter, bring
that, too.
One other note: when you’re selecting non-perishable
foods to donate, let your hearts open wide. Save the year-old
kidney beans for your own chili. Give the best of the best.
Choose meaty, yummy stews and veggies you’d be happy
to see on your own shelf. Give a stressed family more stress
(read: a rock-hard butternut squash) and you’ve failed your
own intentions. Give them hearty food they can dive into, and
you’ve given them love. It’s a feast, not a home economics
lesson. Make it easy.
For questions, call the Interfaith Council at 781-934-8388.
Donate a turkey at the same phone number – turkeys require
some special planning. Does this seem lavish? At $111.11 per
family, per feast, I think not. But I wish you could see, just
once, the joy in their faces when the little ones tear open their
treats. And Harry Katz is thanking me? No, Harry. Thank you.

While the game appeared on its way to a tie and a tourna-
ment spot for the Titans, Mother Nature had other ideas.
With 10:37 left in the game, Burke floated a corner kick
from Davis’ left over her out-stretched arms where Moore came
running in and knocked it home for the eventual game-winner.
Pembroke had a serious threat with 2:10 remaining, but de-
fender Meghan Woomer got back in time to break up the play
and preserve the shutout for Brook.
On Thursday the girls will learn their first-round opponent
in the MIAA South Sectionals. Check the DHS athletic Web site

Whatever it was, the Drag-
ons walked through the first
22 minutes of Friday night’s
game in a trance, looking like
zombies while committing
four turnovers in the first half
of their key Patriot League
game with Whitman-Hanson.
It sure looked bleak for
the Dragons as they went to
the locker room at halftime
trailing 13-0. However, they
awoke from their funk in the
third quarter, scoring 28 points
to grab the lead for good in a
35-20 win over the Panthers.

Saturday afternoon at 2 p.m.,
when Duxbury travels to Hing-
ham to take on the Harbormen.
A win will pit the Dragons
against Scituate the following
week where a victory will put
Coach Dave Maimaron’s team
into postseason play.
“You can’t afford to lose
any of these league games,”
said the Duxbury coach. “This
game with Hingham coming
up has always been the game
that determined the league
champions since I have been
here.”
Duxbury suffered its first
mishap just over two min-
utes into Friday night’s game,
when punter Ben Startzell’s
punt was blocked and returned
to the Dragons’ 30-yard line
by W-H’s Jermaine Carter.

Duxbury’s 14-game un-

They say that being close

but that is all it took last
week in Easton for the DHS

Tuesday’s Division II State
finals at the Blackstone Na-
tional Golf Club in Sutton.

Sandwich 303
Duxbury 309

Needing to finish in one
of the top two spots in the
Sectional, the Dragons (309)
did just that, finishing six
strokes behind Sandwich
(303) and two in front of
Dennis-Yarmouth (311) to
qualify for the trip to Central
MA.
Blanchard’s shot in the 25th
minute of action deflected off
a Dragon defender for the only
score of the game.
Duxbury’s forte has been
defense for most of the season,
while the offense has scored
just one goal in each of six
games and two goals in each
of four games. While Coach
John Tocci maintains that his
team has gotten its chances,
it becomes more critical from
now on that the Dragons start
to bury those chances as post
season play begins.
The Harbormen were well
aware that the key to stopping
the Duxbury offense was to
keep senior Dan Sangster in
check and they did just that,
limiting his chances, as well as
those of the rest of the Drag-
ons.
Hingham netminder An-
drew Blomberg didn’t make
“We tried to play smart
and not take anything higher
than a bogey,” said Coach
Jack Stoddard of his team’s
consistent play at the Easton
Country Club.
Led by Billy Curley’s 76,
five of the six Duxbury golf-
ers were able to shoot rounds
under 80. If not for Dennis-
Yarmouth’s Josh Moore’s
medallist round of 70, the
Dragons would have been
clear winners along with
Sandwich.
Captain Jonathan Stod-
dard was a stroke behind
Curley at 77, while Kevin
Kuckuk (78), Stephan Krall
(78), and James Magner (79)
rounded out the Duxbury
scoring.

tion had gone to press prior

many saves, but when he
did they were timely, as he
knocked away a David Hem-
ingway cross and minutes
later saved a deflected shot by
Sangster in the first half.
While the Duxbury of-
fense may have been slug-
gish, the defense turned in its
usual stingy performance, as
Steve Blout and goaltender
Max Cote did an excellent job
keeping Hingham’s team scor-
ing leader Brett Canepa off the
scoreboard.
Earlier in the week, the
Dragons got a scare from
North Quincy, but managed to
pull it out with a 3-2 win.
Playing on a muddy and
slippery natural grass field,
Duxbury was far more cau-
tious than they had been in
their early-season 4-0 win over
the Red Raiders.
Billy Curly’s round of 76 led
the Dragon’s to a second-place
finish at the South Sectionals,
qualifying them for yesterday’s

Duxbury opened the scor-
ing in the 12th minute of play
when Zach Gino took a diago-
nal pass on the ground from
Sangster and dribbled in closer
and around the NQ keeper for
a 1-0 lead.
The Red Raiders would
respond 10 minutes later when
they scored on a direct kick
that eluded Cote and snuck un-
der him to tie the game at 1-1
Gino was involved once
again, as he sent a ball up the
middle to Jimmy Landry, who
cut behind his defender and
dribbled into box for a right-
footed finish that gave the visi-
tors a 2-1 halftime lead.
The action went back and

Duxbury holding onto its slim
one-goal margin. With the
clock winding down, NQ’s Ian

Freshman football stays unbeaten in close call
The Whitman-Hanson
freshmen football team scored
in the first two minutes of last
Thursday’s game with Dux-
bury, but then watched as the
Dragons came back for a dra-
matic 16-14 win over the Pan-
thers.
Led by the running of Jon
Hurvitz and Henry Narlee, as
well as the defensive efforts
of Robert Kosharek and Owen
Gray, Duxbury’s comeback
win keeps its record a perfect
8-0.
After giving up the open-
ing score the Dragons roared
back, driving 70 yards on sev-
en plays, only to have QB John
Geary’s pass picked off in the
end zone. The Dragon defense
held the Panthers on the fol-
lowing series, forcing them to
turn the ball over on downs at
their own 35-yard line.
Hurvitz followed with
three long runs before Narlee
bolted in from the two-yard
line for the touchdown. Hur-
vitz then  barreled in for the
two-point conversion to tie the
score at 8-8 where it remained
for the rest of the half.
Kingfish Swimmers kick-off fundraiser
Kingfish Swimming has
organized a “student-driven”
fundraiser that will provide
young swimmers with the
opportunity to participate
in an intense week of rigor-
ous training with Olympic
Gold Medalist Dara Torres
at the world-class Aquatic
Complex located in Coral
Springs, Fla.
The kids of Kingfish
Swimming have been seg-
mented into ‘fundraising
teams’ and are offering resi-
dents of Duxbury and sur-
rounding towns the chance
to have their property land-
scaped for a nominal fee.
The fee is considered a do-
nation that will directly ben-
efit their chance to travel to
the much-anticipated Winter
Training in Coral Springs,
Fla. Teams are comprised
of both boys and girls from
Duxbury, Kingston, Pem-
broke and other surrounding
towns.
“This fundraiser means
so much to us,” said Patrick
O’Neal, who is a Duxbury
resident and senior Kingfish
swimmer. “This is one of
our most important chances
to show what we’re capable
of in our current swimming

kickoff return to start the
second half, with Kevin Win-

at the Panther’s 22-yard line.
Geary wasted little time, con-
necting with Jay Walsh for 21
yards on the next play. Geary
then took the snap and ran it in
from one yard out to make the
score 14-8. Hurvitz clawed in
another two-point conversion
for what proved to be the win-

Whitman-Hanson re-
sponded with an aerial bar-

‘Amahl and the Night Visitors’ comes to Duxbury

T
By Beth MacLeod,
Special to the Clipper
he last time I directed a production of “Amahl and
the Night Visitors” I was pregnant with my son
Noah. In fact, he was born during the production.
Now, six years later, as a mother I find it a much more
emotional piece for me, because I understand the opera in a
deeper and more spiritual way that it always makes me cry.
Notes from the Conservatory
Beyond the sets and the music and the friendships I create
when putting on Gian Carlo Menotti’s beloved classic, I love
“Amahl” because of its message of hope and love. The giving
of an innocent gift changes a child’s life immeasurably, and
the love of the wise kings for an even more humble king who
changes the world, is powerful. The layers of the message
are huge and, in my experience, every person who sees the
opera leaves touched by it. At one performance six years ago I
met a man who seeks out a production of “Amahl” every year
because of his love for this heart-warming opera.
I cherish rehearsing “Amahl” because of the boy sopranos.
At 10 years old, these singers are on the last edge of boyhood,
and I know it won’t be long before they see the world through
more jaded eyes. The opera is bittersweet every time we do it
for that very reason. Our original Amahls are in college now!
The purity of the boy soprano voice is exciting, thrilling
and must be handled with such exquisite care. I can only Amahl and his mother, played by Jan Zimmerman and Sean Feth.
produce the opera when we have not one but two boys, as there
are always at least two performances and, in case of illness, it’s
wise to have a backup. So while finding one isn’t easy, finding
two can be really daunting and when you do, well, it’s such a
joyful thing. Chris Feth from Pembroke and Andrew Northrop
from Kingston are quite similar physically but their voices are
quite different. They are both very hard working and talented.
I encourage families to see one of the two Opera by
the Bay productions of this amazing opera. With its lovely
but simple sets, beautiful costumes and props, the whole
production has a hugely unified look that very much suits
the intimate performance spaces we’ve chosen. The first
production is right here in Duxbury on Saturday, November
7, 7 pm at the Ellison Center for the Arts, 64 St. George
Street. The second production is in Hingham at South Shore
Conservatory, One Conservatory Drive on Sunday, November
8 at 4 pm. We priced the tickets affordably to accommodate
those affected by the economy. At $15 for adults and $5 for
children, tickets will sell quickly. To purchase tickets, please
visit www.sscmusic.org, call 781-749-7565, ext. 20, or visit
our Duxbury campus.
Beth MacLeod is the Artistic Director of South Shore
Conservatory’s Opera by the Bay, an adult opera troupe
dedicated to making opera more accessible to new audiences.

Become a Friend of the Free Library

Even though the month of
October has come to a close,
membership is always open to
become a Friend of the Dux-
bury Free Library. The Friends
is a volunteer organization
that promotes, advocates for,
and supports the Library. Con-
sider what the Friends of the
library contributed last year
because of donations made by
residents: $14,000 for books,
periodicals, CDs, and DVDs.
$4,000 for the children’s sum-
mer reading program and
$2,000 for the young adult
summer program. Due to com-
munity donations, the library
had funds to supplement the
budget for materials and was
able to secure state accredita-
tion for patrons to participate
in interlibrary loans through
the Old Colony Library Net-
work – a vital tool in today’s
world. Last year Duxbury resi-
dents enjoyed borrowing over

Duxbury. Call the DAA to ask details and register. Come make a
