Weekend storm causes flooding,
keeps DPW crews on the road
By Justin Graeber, Clipper Editor
justin@duxburyclipper.com
The snow started falling
on Friday afternoon. And it
kept falling, and falling, all
through the weekend, keeping
DPW crews hopping and resi-
dents in their homes.
“It was a long haul,” said
DPW Director Peter Buttkus
of the storm.
Plowing crews hit the road
for the first round of snow re-
moval Friday, then were called
back in around 2 a.m. on Sat-
urday, Buttkus said. The crews
worked for nearly 24 straight
hours, then were called back
Sunday night for round three.

storm for the employees,” he
said.
Although the accumulation
of the storm was only about
8-10 inches –– as opposed to
the prior storm, which dropped
nearly 20 inches of snow on
Duxbury –– it was the dura-
tion that made it difficult to
stay ahead of things.
“It wasn’t the amount that
was the issue,” Buttkus. “It
just never stopped.”
Duxbury’s DPW doesn’t
have enough staff to work in
shifts, so many of the plow
drivers spent hours upon hours
in their trucks.

stepped down during discus-

market because the bank for
which she worked does busi-
ness with Foodie’s.
“Every time you meet one-
on-one, you’re a quorum,”
said McCormack
With five selectmen Mc-
Cormack said the board would
also run into fewer conflicts
with the open meeting law.
With a board of three, two se-
lectmen together constitute a
quorum, or majority, and must
not discuss anything related to
their roles as town officials or
it would be considered a viola-
tion of the open meeting law.
Also, having more select-
men would ease the workload
on the board, especially when
acting as liaisons to town com-
mittees, according to McCor-
mack. Selectmen are respon-
sible for 13 town committees
each, as there are 41 town
committees, said McCormack.
A similar article present-
ed to town meeting in 2003
by resident Nicholas Pagli-
arulo was approved with a
two-thirds vote. However, the
state’s attorney general later
disqualified this article.
Then-Attorney General
Thomas Reilly stated that the
article, which was an amend-
ment to the town’s bylaws,
was “inconsistent with the
Home Rule Amendment and
general laws 43B, the Home
Rule Procedures Act.” Reilly
concluded his four-page opin-
ion on his decision by saying
that Duxbury could enlarge
the board of selectmen by pe-
titioning the Legislature for a
Home Rule Special Act.
A second attempt to en-
large the board at special
Town Meeting in 2005 was
postponed until the town could
hear the recommendations by
the newly formed town gov-
ernment study committee.
Created in 2004, the commit-
tee completed its work in 2006
and ultimately rejected the idea
of a larger board of selectmen.
McCormack said that in
Massachusetts, there are 135
towns with five selectmen and
162 with three member boards.
None with five members has
ever reduced its size, he said.
Although he voted in favor
of supporting McCormack’s
article, Selectman Jon Witten
said he was not sure there was
any benefit moving from three
to five.
“I’m the town counsel in
towns with three selectmen
and those with five selectmen,
and I’ve seen no discernable
differences,” said Witten. “My
gut feeling is to leave it (the
number) alone.”
But he added: “It’s a clas-
sic case of let the voters de-
cide.”
Witten said that instead
of using as a comparison how
many towns have three or five
Pros and cons
The town government study
committee listed these argu-
ments in support of a five
member board:
• More people to share the
workload
• Greater variation of experi-
ence and opinion
• Increased representation of
voters
• Less chance of a lack of
quorum
• A “bad apple” has less
impact
The study committee offered
these reasons against broad-
ening the number of select-
men:
• Each member has more
responsibility to attend meet-
ings and keep current
• A lack of good candidates to
run for the position
• Increased possibility of fac-
tions and divisiveness
• Increased likelihood of slow-
ing down the decision-making
process
• Possible loss of cooperation
and trust
• “If it’s not broken, don’t fix
it” theory
member boards of selectmen,
McCormack should offer the
information as to whether the
towns have a strong or a weak
town manager act. Duxbury
has a strong manager act, leav-
ing selectmen with only very
specific authority over certain
topics.
Donato was supportive
of the idea because he felt it
would involve and inform
more Duxbury residents.
“There is so much infor-
mation I get that the public
doesn’t get,” Donato said. “I’d
love to see more people get
more information. I’m all for
bringing more people on board
to get a more educated popula-
tion.”
McCormack said he felt
that with five selectmen,
“someone would be more ac-
cessible,” although he admit-
ted he never had reason to
contact the current selectmen
and couldn’t comment on their
availability.
Former Selectman Mar-
garet Kearney, who served
for nine years and was also a
member of the government
study committee, opposed the
change.
“I will be vocal against the
article,” she said, adding that
she saw no reason to change
the board if it was working
well.
She felt the smaller board
brought more accountability
on selectmen to show up and
participate.
“I missed one meeting in
nine years,” Kearney said. “If
there were five selectmen, I
think I would not have been
so committed. Also, with three
Wednesday, January 6, 2010
selectmen, there are far fewer
disagreements and chances are
less that you’ll get a candidate
with a hidden agenda.”
In its recommendation
against the increase, the town
government study committee
stated that over the past twen-
ty years there was a “general,
although perhaps not universal
feeling” that the selectmen have
handled their responsibilities
“fairly, competently and in a
timely manner.” The commit-
tee also found that other towns Experienced Bookkeeping Services
that had recently expanded 15 years experience servicing local businesses
their boards saw mixed results.
In the best cases, more select-

the worst situations, the larger
board “created factionalism,
reduced cooperation and trust
and interfered with effective
town management,” stated the
committee’s report.
“Given the positive expe-
rience of Duxbury with a three
member board, the absence
of any compelling reason to
change and the potentially det-
rimental effects of an increase
… the board recommends
against the proposal,” accord-
ing to the report. (See sidebar
for more information.)
McCormack said he felt
the government study commit-
tee’s report on this subject was
“arbitrary.”
Selectmen Chairman Bet-
sy Sullivan was on that com-
mittee and she disagreed with
McCormack’s assertion that
the committee’s two years of
work and findings were arbi-
trary.
“It was a very difficult is-
sue to decide when we took it
up,” said Sullivan. “It wasn’t
an arbitrary issue.”

that allows an employee eligi-

ployees have worked for the
town from ten to 28 years, said
Sullivan.
Sullivan brought this issue


before selectmen at their meet-
ing Dec. 21 and came back to
discuss it again on Monday.
“This is a very concern-
ing situation that isn’t getting
the attention that it needs,”
said Sullivan. “The town has

slashed benefits on a very
small vulnerable group of peo-
ple with no union protection.
We have not treated anyone
else like that. How is it we can
pick this small group and do
this to them? Get them their
benefits back.”
Sullivan said that these
workers have been forced to
pay thousands of dollars for
their own health insurance out
of their decreased pay.
“These people are getting
no response from any organi-
zation in town,” he said.
The schools’ food services
department is financially self-
sustaining and the cafeteria
workers are paid out of a re-
volving fund for this program.
In this fund, the money taken in
by the program is used to pay
its expenses, including salaries
and benefits. Benefits of other

are paid from the budget line

At an October school com-
mittee meeting, Superinten-
dent of Schools Susan Skeiber
said the school lunch program
had run up a $128,000 deficit
that had to be made up some-
how. She said the reasons for
the shortfall were varied, and
included a reduction in partici-

sy Sullivan, who is no relation
to James Sullivan, told the caf-
eteria workers that selectmen
had limited power to make any
changes for them.
“The School Committee
does have control over its own
budget,” she said. “We are try-
ing to work with them.”
She said the decision was
made ten years ago to have the
lunch program be self-support-
ing and pay for all expenses
including cafeteria employees’
salaries and benefits.
“The program was to have
absorbed all the costs,” she
said.
Sullivan said that this situ-
ation had happened to library
employees in the past also.
“You weren’t singled out
because of who you are,” she
told the cafeteria workers.
“We are trying to work some-
thing out.”
James Sullivan said he
thought having the cafeteria
workers salaries and benefits
tied to the lunch program was
wrong.
“It doesn’t make sense and
nobody’s doing anything about
it,” he said.
Selectman Jon Witten
felt there was little selectmen
could to help in the situation
because the matter was under
the control of the school de-
partment.

Nuclear articles on warrant
By Susanna Sheehan, Clipper Staff
susanna@duxburyclipper.com
This week, selectmen vot-
ed unanimously to endorse two
Town Meeting articles related
to the Pilgrim Nuclear power
station in Plymouth.
The board supported an ar-
ticle by the Duxbury Nuclear
Advisory Committee that asks
Pilgrim’s owner, Entergy, to
beef up its inspection system,
including installing more and
better monitoring wells to de-
tect radioactive chemicals in
the ground water.
“The current four-well
monitoring system used by En-
tergy at Pilgrim Station does
not meet reasonable standards
for monitoring design net-
work,” states the article.
Nuclear Advisory Commit-
tee Chairwoman Mary “Pixie”
Lampert said the chemical tri-
tium was detected in the three
monitoring wells near Pilgrim
in November 2007 but noth-
ing has ever been done about
it. Tritium is a radioactive
isotope of hydrogen and is a
byproduct in nuclear reactors
producing electricity, accord-
ing to the Environmental Pro-
tection Agency’s Web site. Tri-
tium is dangerous if inhaled or
ingested in drinking water and
exposure to tritium increases
the risk of developing cancer,
according to the EPA.
Lampert said the Nuclear
DOCUMENTARY FILMS
Regulatory Agency’s response
to monitoring wells is that they
are a “voluntary initiative”
from the reactor’s owner. How-
ever, she said, the new head of
the NRA wants to revisit this
issue and that Duxbury’s action
in approving this town meeting
article might stimulate the state
to require better monitoring
wells at nuclear power plants
in Massachusetts.
Fire Chief Kevin Nord said
the Duxbury Emergency Man-
agement Agency supports this
article.
“DEMA feels it’s a very
valid argument,” he said.
“We’re concerned about run-
off into the bay as well.”
Selectmen also unanimous-
ly endorsed another article by
the Nuclear Advisory Commit-
tee that requires Entergy pay
additional money to Duxbury
because of its proximity to Pil-
grim.
Lampert said Marshfield
received $100,000 more from
Entergy this year than Dux-
bury did, but Duxbury has
15,000 people in the Emer-
gency Planning Zone around
Pilgrim, while Marshfield has
only 1,500 people in the EPZ.
“We’re not saying that
Marshfield should get less, but
that the other towns should
get more based on population
and geographic area,” said
Lampert.

Planning Board tests new bylaw
By Justin Graeber, Clipper Editor
justin@duxburyclipper.com
A case that will be a test of
the town’s inclusionary hous-
ing bylaw has accomplished a
rare feat –– it’s got a develop-
er and a town board in agree-
ment.
Clark Hinkley and his wife
want to subdivide their land on
Washington Street and sell off
the housing lots for develop-
ment. The plan has triggered
an as-of-yet-untested town
bylaw which states that if any
developer builds more than six
housing lots, he must provide
one home for under market
price.
That home, however does
not need to be in the develop-


ment, according to the bylaw,
it can be elsewhere in town.
Hinkley was originally go-
ing to use a historic home on
Washington Street for the af-
fordable property, but is now
ready to close on a home on
Chandler Street.
The Hinkleys and their at-
torney, Alice Vogler, presented
the Planning Board with a
packet of information includ-
ing the purchase and sale
agreement for the home and
an inspection report.
“The house is in really
good condition,” said Hinkley,
pointing out that the home has
air conditioning and a two car
garage.
The Planning Board mem-
bers seemed supportive of the
plan –– pointing out that this
will add to Duxbury’s afford-
able housing index without
new construction –– but there
are details that still need to be
worked out, since this particu-
lar bylaw hasn’t been used be-
fore.
“We do not see any objec-
tion to the site, or the struc-
ture,” said Planning Board
Chairwoman Amy MacNab.
“We’re all in the same learn-
ing curve as you right now,”
Currently the applicant is
working with Town Planner
Tom Broadrick on ironing out
the details of the procedure. If
the home works out, a moni-
toring agent will have to be
appointed to handle the af-
fordable housing lottery. The
Hinkleys were nervous that it
might be difficult to find a per-
son to run the lottery, but Plan-
ning Board members were re-
luctant to grant any approval
without this information in
place.
“Our problem is from a
time standpoint,” said Vogler,
adding that the Hinkleys don’t
want to close on the property
if it won’t count towards the
housing index.
There is also still a question
as to whether the home would
be a rental or purchased, al-
though it appears it will count
towards the housing index
either way. Planning Board
member George Wadsworth
was concerned that a hom-
eowner would be saddled with
maintenance costs (such as
roof replacement) they might
not be able to pay, however
other board members pointed
out that with a town-owned

allowed to speak English –– In
fact, if he was caught speaking
English three times, he would
have been sent home.) His proj-
ect, a study of the effect of the
recent Uighur riots in the Xin-
jiang province of China, was
presented as part of the Dux-
bury Free Library’s Sunday
Salon Series this weekend.
On July 7 of this year, Ui-
ghur students, a Muslim ethnic
minority group of Turkish de-
scent living inside China, riot-
ed against the majority group,
known as Han Chinese. It may
have been sparked by a false
accusation of rape against two
Uighur workers in another re-
gion, Clark said. Whatever
the cause, the government and
mobs of Han Chinese cracked
down on the protesters. What
happened over the next couple
of days isn’t clear –– the media
wasn’t allowed in for a while,
and casualty reports vary
greatly depending on who you
ask –– but it’s the latest in a se-
ries of human rights crises that
have strained the relationship
between the U.S. and China.
Xinjiang province is one
of the most recent additions to
China, Clark told an attentive
crowd at the library.
“It is still very much in the
heat of an independence move-
ment,” he said.
The Chinese government
has been encouraging Han Chi-
nese to move to the province,
and the percentage of Han liv-
ing in Xinjiang has gone from
6 to 43 percent since the 40s,
Clark said.
“If jobs are scarce, prefer-
ence will be given to the Han
Chinese, Clark said.
The Uighurs say the July
riots were started when police
opened fire on unarmed protest-
ers. However, the government
says the riots were sparked by
burka-clad Muslim women
distributing weapons in the
crowd, at the urging of exiled
Uighur leader Rebiya Kadeer,
who lives in Washington D.C.
Those two separate versions of
events were at the heart of the
problem Clark faced as he tried
to write his paper.
Interviewing Chinese citi-
zens for his project proved to
be difficult, as natives are re-
luctant to speak critically of

Ice and Cold Water Safety
A
ccording to the U.S. Coast Guard, each year
there are over 7,000 drownings and 20,000
near-drownings in the United States. Over half
of these incidents occur in cold water (water less than 70 de-
grees F.). If you are going to go onto the ice, please use the
following safety precautions. Ice on moving water in riv-
ers, streams and brooks is never safe. The thickness of ice
on ponds and lakes depends upon water currents or springs,
depth, and natural objects such as tree stumps or rocks.
Daily changes in temperature cause the ice to expand and
contract, which affects its strength. No one can declare ice
to be absolutely safe. If someone does fall through the ice,
act quickly and call 911 for help immediately, do not go out
onto the ice, leave it to the professionals. Remember, the
only safe ice is at a skating arena.

Magic at the PAC
Continued from page one
of the Sugar Plum Fairy, the gem among gems in this classic
production.
Sybil Geddes (nee Watkins) danced beautifully, her long
lines matched by her grace and agility. The Sugar Plum Fairy
and her Cavalier (Henoch Spinola) clearly work strongly and
smoothly together, and their execution of José’s traditional
Pas de Deux and solo dances gave the second act the climax
that we have come to expect from the Ballet Theatre. Where
does this come from? Hard work and talent, of course, but also
José’s philosophy of fitting the choreography to the dancer,
and not the other way around. It works for his school, for his
Nutcracker, and for his other original ballets.
José’s Nutcracker – unlike most – auditions children from
any area ballet school, including children with no ballet school
at all. Keep your eyes peeled next September for the Ballet
Theatre’s open auditions.
Where does all that talent, commitment, and effort begin?
Any dancer, professional or recreational, can tell you where it
began for him or her. José Mateo’s story in dance didn’t begin
until he was a student at Princeton. Sybil Geddes’ story, her
husband told me, began when she was a youngster in Vermont.
When she was around seven years old, her mother took her to
see a production of (what else?) the Nutcracker. For many of
us, the classic ballet about a young girl’s Christmas dreams
and dawning coming of age is the first exposure to the beauty,
precision, and power of dance.
The role of Clara (danced wonderfully this time by
Nicole Finken, and at the other PAC performances by Natalie
Ferris, Audrey Ring, and Sophia Arnall) often serves as a
first solo role for young dancers. Like many productions,
José’s has Clara dreaming of someday becoming a ballerina.
Act I includes her dancing for and with her beloved Uncle
Drosselmeyer, danced by the ageless José himself.
But little Madeline Greenstein was captivated by another
fine dancer. I told her, her mom and grandmother early in the
show that she and the Snow Queen (Madeleine Bonn) share the
same name. Like all of José’s dancers, Madeleine danced many
parts – Dream Fairy, Snow Queen, Court Maid, and Yellow
Flower – and always with the power, grace, and musical
precision I’ve come to expect from her. She, too, has danced as
the Sugar Plum Fairy here in Duxbury. Little Madeline, once
so informed, never took her eyes off of Madeleine, stirring her
mom and grandma to do the same.
How can I be sure that she was captivated? At the show’s
end, at the curtain call when all of the dancers share the stage
in brief reprises of their dances, little Madeline returned
Madeleine’s reverence, mirroring her arms raised in graceful
ports de bras, a tiny dancer already dreaming, joy meeting joy
with her eyes riveted to the Yellow Flower.

Lady Dragons continue to ice opponents

By Mike Halloran, Sports Editor

It looks like Duxbury has
a hockey powerhouse to cheer
for this winter after the Lady
Dragons took care of Division
I Lincoln-Sudbury (4-1) and
Falmouth (5-3) last week to
raise its record to 5-1.

Coach Friend Weiler’s
squad has been in cruise con-
trol since the week before
Christmas, and they’ll try to
stay in that mode on Wednes-
day afternoon when they take
on Whitman-Hanson on the
road at 3 p.m.
Defenseman Taryn Mc-
Call’s first period goal got
Duxbury on top in its win over
Lincoln-Sudbury, while fresh-
man Hannah Murphy scored
the game-winner in the third
period.
Junior Briana Connolly
would add the frosting to the
cake when she popped in two
third-period goals to seal the
win.
On Saturday night Dux-
bury took on the Falmouth
Clippers at The Bog in search
of their fourth win in a row.
After killing off a Fal-
mouth power play in the first
three minutes, the Lady Drag-
ons wasted little time in jump-
ing to a 1-0 lead when senior
Kaitlin Sullivan knocked
home the rebound of a Martha
Findley shot.
Duxbury continued to
dominate play throughout the
first 15 minutes, as the Clip-
pers could barely get into the
Lady Dragon end of the ice.
The opportunities were
coming fast and furious for
Duxbury, but Falmouth goal-
tender Melissa Romiza was
on her game, stopping the
Duxbury onslaught while her
teammates decided if they
wanted to play.
At the 6:27 mark the Lady
Dragons made it 2-0, as junior
defenseman Olivia McCarthy
rifled home a shot from the
slot after Sullivan and Con-
nolly dug out the puck from
behind the net.
Falmouth had a golden
opportunity to cut the deficit
to one when they went on the
power play with 4:02 on the
clock. However, Duxbury had
the better chance when Mur-
phy broke in alone on Romiza
for a shorthanded situation but
was denied with 3:45 to go.
The Lady Dragons were
in a bind seconds later when a
second penalty left them two
men down. The Clippers took
advantage when a shot from
the point was redirected past
Duxbury netminder Julia Han-
non to cut the margin to 2-1 at
the end of the period.
Duxbury continued to car-
ry play at the start of the second
period, as Sullivan, Murphy,
Connolly, and Mary Donovan
all had glittering chances that
Romiza turned aside.
Midway through the pe-
riod the Lady Dragons made
it 3-1 when Murphy scored on
a power-play goal with a one-
timer from the slot after taking
a pass from Connolly.
It took just two minutes for
Duxbury to make it 4-1 when
Colleen Leddie took an assist
from Murphy with 4:36 to go
in the period and beat Romi-
za.
Both sides squandered
power play chances early in
the third period. However, Fal-
mouth kept hanging around, as
they beat Hannon with a shot
that bounced off her shoulder
and dropped behind her to
make the score 4-2.
Connolly saw to it that the
Clippers stayed far enough
ahead, as she dug the puck out
from behind the net and stuffed
her shot behind Romiza for
a 5-2 lead. Falmouth would
make it 5-3 on a blast from the
point with 42 seconds to go.
“Falmouth is a well-
coached and disciplined team
and I thought our girls handled
the physical part of the game
well,” said Weiler. “They came
out chippy, but I’m happy with
the way our girls responded,
but I think we just need to
work on our shot selection a
little bit more. We moved the
puck well, we back-checked
well, and I’m very happy with
our progress so far.”

Tough start for young girls’ basketball team

Sporting a roster without
a senior, there will be growing
pains for the Lady Dragons
this year, as even the returning
players saw limited action last
season.
Despite their problems,
there is hope that the under-
classmen will form a solid
nucleus to bring the program
back to prominence.
The team did get some
positive feedback this week
when they won their first game
of the year in a 59-56 win over
Sandwich. However, games
with established programs like
Notre Dame on Saturday (58-
33) will surely give the girls
trouble.
Without an experienced
scoring threat and a savvy
ball-handler, the girls had a
hard time over the weekend in
their game with the Cougars.
Leading 3-2 in the first
few minutes, ND Coach Mi-
chael Barrett put on the press
and the Lady Dragon offense
came to a halt, as the Cougars

went on a 9-0 run to end the
first quarter with a 12-2 lead.
Notre Dame’s offensive
rebounding and Duxbury turn-
overs were instrumental in
causing the Lady Dragon defi-
cit. But the girls turned things
around in the second quarter
and matched the Cougars point
for point.

Katelyn Norton and junior
guard Jenna Cusick with 1:48

neared, with both teams head-
ing to the locker room with the
Cougars ahead 31-21.
The progress the Lady
Dragons made in the second
quarter evaporated in the third,
as ND went on a 15-5 run with
pressure defense to make it
46-26 at the end of three.
Unable to find the hot
hand, Duxbury found itself
trying to match points in the fi-
nal quarter. However, the visi-
tors held the home team to just
seven points and walked away
with a 58-33 victory.
Norton was the high scorer
for Duxbury with eight points,
while Tsinzo was right behind
with seven.
The girls (1-5) will travel
to New Bedford on Wednes-
day night to take on the Whal-
ers at 7 p.m.

In the first tri-meet against
Pembroke and Middleboro,
Duxbury won nearly every
event.  The first state-qualify-
was happy when Pat Charland
gave the Dragons a 1-0 lead at
the 8:23 mark of the first pe-
riod when he took a pass from
Connor Doyle and beat Nor-
wood’s Pat Clifford to grab
the lead.
The Dragons went on the
power-play a minute later but
couldn’t do much damage,
while the Mustangs broke into
the Duxbury zone seconds af-
ter it was over and were robbed
by netminder Tim Mathews to
keep the lead at one.
It was an uneventful sec-
ond period, as neither team
could get any kind of offensive
attack going. However, the
Mustangs got the better of the
Dragons with 2:45 left in the
middle stanza when Brendan
Cathcart tipped home a blast
from the point by Brian Ge-
rard and watched it elude the
outstretched arm of Mathews
as he watched it go inside the
far post.
The third period started
with momentum on Nor-
wood’s side, but Mathews
ripped off a state qualifying
time of (1.45.20) in the 200-
yard medley relay.  The fear-
some foursome also posed a
second state qualifying time

lay (3:35.99). Malcolm Edgar,
Duncan Edgar, James Mattes
and Ben Potash took third in
this event.
Crowell also splashed
qualifying time (58.03) in the
100-yard backstroke, two sec-
onds faster than last year’s
best time, while Ian Wilson
was second.
Husted answered with a
