Wanted: a
new top cop
Community ties, management
experience a must for next chief
By Justin Graeber, Clipper Editor
justin@duxburyclipper.com
Duxbury’s next police
chief should have manage-
ment experience, and should
have a community connection
that goes beyond a desk at the
police station. That’s what the
search committee and a con-
sultant working with them is
saying as they search for the
town’s next top cop.
The search for Duxbury’s
next police chief has begun
in earnest, and the screening
committee tasked with sifting
through resumes has had two
meetings so far. The group is
being aided by Steve Unsworth
of the firm BadgeQuest, a for-
mer police chief who now
helps municipalities run their
searches.
“Steve was very helpful,”
said Rev. Catherine Cullen of
the First Parish Church, the
search group’s chairwoman.

School boss to leave Blue trash bags

Skeiber says she’s looking at all future options
By Justin Graeber, Clipper Editor
justin@duxburyclipper.com
Duxbury School will see a
big change in leadership next
year, as Superintendent of
Schools Susan Skeiber won’t
be returning.
Skeiber told the School
Committee and the public on
Wednesday that she would be
leaving in June.
“This is not an easy deci-
sion, but it is one that I have
made,” she said.
She has worked for Dux-
bury since 1995, when she was
an assistant principal at what

that school became the Dux-

over as Alden principal in 1999
before moving into the central
office as assistant superinten-

dent in 2007 and was given a
three-year contract.

to stay local
By Susanna Sheehan, Clipper Staff
susanna@duxburyclipper.com
In a belated holiday pres-
ent to local merchants, the
Board of Selectmen this week
decided that the town’s official
blue trash bags will only be
sold at Duxbury stores and not
in neighboring towns.
Selectmen made this move
because they wanted to sup-
port local businesses and felt
this was a good way to do it.
The action will become effec-
tive April 1.
The bags are part of the
town’s pay-as-you-throw trash
disposal system at the transfer
station. All trash except for
recycling must go into these
town-approved trash bags that
are provided by a third-party
vendor.
Selectmen Chairwoman
Betsy Sullivan said Duxbury
retailers approached her with
the idea of limiting trash bag
sales to in-town only, because
they make no money on them.

A favorable wind for bylaw
Planning Board gives town turbines a thumbs up
By Justin Graeber, Clipper Editor
justin@duxburyclipper.com
A municipal turbine is one
step closer to becoming a re-
ality, as the Planning Board
signed off Monday on a Town
Meeting article that would al-
low the town to tap into wind
power.
The Alternative Energy
Committee, which has worked
to develop the guidelines af-
ter a more expansive proposal
was postponed indefinitely at
Town Meeting last year, said
that they have been working
for two to three years on the
bylaw.
“We’ve tried to balance
the needs of the town ... with
developing a platform that
will eventually save the town
money,” said Alternative En-
ergy Committee Chairman
Frank Duggan.
He said the committee has
tried to refine last year’s by-
law, taking out any references
to commercial or personal
turbines and focusing on the
town.
“The bylaw is geared to
and directed at protecting
property values while helping
the town and taxpayers save
money on municipal energy
costs,” he said.
Planning Board mem-
bers seemed content with the
changes and there was little
discussion from the board.
“I know you’ve worked
hard on this,” said Chairwom-
an Amy MacNab. “We’re all
getting on the same page.”
Lot coverage change revisited
By Justin Graeber, Clipper Editor
justin@duxburyclipper.com
Town Meeting voters
won’t be seeing a re-do of last
year’s attempt to change pav-
ing rules for businesses, after
the Planning Board ruled un-
favorably on a citizen’s peti-
tion at their meeting Monday
night.
Scott Oliver, a doctor who
owns a medical office build-
ing on Tremont Street, gave
a brief presentation to the
board at the Senior Center on
Monday. He said the plan dif-
fered from last year’s because
it was a graduated approach.
Currently, any lot in town can
only be 50 percent covered
by either a building or paved
area. Last year, businessman
JR Kent of Bayside Marina
tried to get the coverage rules
changed to 75 percent, but the
petition was defeated on Town
Meeting floor.
Oliver said that in his new
proposal, lots up to but not
including three acres could
be 80 percent covered, lots
between three and five acres
could be 75 percent covered,
and lots of five acres or more
would retain the 50 percent
rule. He said this would allay
residents’ fears that the change
would invite “big box” chain
The proposed bylaw, the
fate of which will be decided
by voters at Town Meeting,
would allow turbines only in
the town’s Publicly Owned
Land Overlay District, exclud-
ing the Dunes Protection and
Wetlands Protection districts.
The bylaw wouldn’t instantly
create a windmill, but would
rather give the Zoning Board
of Appeals the power to issue
a special permit.
The maximum height of
a municipal turbine would
be 250 feet, and any turbine
would have to be set back a
little more than twice its own
height from any surrounding
property. A community-scale
wind facility would also not be
allowed to add more than 10
decibels to the ambient sound
level, in accordance with an
existing state regulation.
Duggan said some in of
the land being considered is
a large plot off Mayflower
Street, one site close to the
DPW yard and another near
the North Hill Golf Course.
Audience members said
they were supportive of wind
power in general, but had some
speficic concerns based on tur-
bines in other towns. Wayne
Clough of Boxwood Lane
said he was concerned about
the windmill blades throwing
ice after a storm. Duggan said
the blades are programmed to
stop automatically in case of
ice build up or severe weather,
and the self-heating blades
wouldn’t start again until the
stores to town.
“The currently bylaw is
not supportive of commercial
enterprise,” he said. “It is one
of the most restrictive in Mas-
sachusetts.”
The Planning Board, how-
ever, felt the petition was too
close to what was rejected at
Town Meeting last year, and
read from a state statute that
said there should be a two-
year waiting period for such
a proposal to come back to
Town Meeting, absent a favor-
able ruling from the Planning
Board.
The board voted unani-
mously to give an unfavorable
report, effectively keeping the
petition off the warrant for this
year.
Also at the meeting, the
Planning Board held public
hearings on a few other zoning
ice was fully melted.
John Murdock, a mem-
ber of the Alternative Energy
Committee and a former man-
ager of the wind facility in
Hull, said that town’s turbine
has prompted few complaints
about noise or vibration since
its installation. He said there
has been an occasionally
problem with “flickering,”
when the sun hits the blades
at a certain angle and creates a
strobe-like shadow effect, but
that can be solved by power-
ing down the turbine.
Another committee mem-
ber, Geoff Wilkinson, said
he was on the board at Mass.
Maritime Academy when they
built their windmill.
“There is no effect what-
soever,” he said.
Planning Board member
John Bear asked why the by-
law set the maximum height at
250 feet. Duggan said that was
an optimum height for munici-
pal use –– a commercial or pri-
vate windmill might be higher
in order to maximize profit.
“Let’s see how the public
adjusts to something,” he said.
“There’s probably no need to
go higher than that.”
MacNab agreed with the
approach of tackling town-
owned turbines before delving
into the more complicated is-
sue of private towers.
“I think your approach is
a wise one,” she said. “Ev-
erything in baby steps, let the
town do it first.”
bylaw changes.
• The board unanimously
voted to recommend approval
of updated Federal Emergency
Management Agency flood
maps.
• Because of a court ruling
against the town, stemming
from a lawsuit against Bay
Farm Montessori School, the
board recommended revisions
to the town’s site plan review
bylaw, striking language about
exempt organizations such as
schools and churches.
• The board recommended
adding language about renew-
able energy and green technol-
ogy to a list of approved busi-
ness uses. This is part of the
Massachusetts Green Commu-
nities Act and may open doors
to state grants.

Protecting the
Stay-at-Home Spouse
When married couples have young children, often one spouse
stays home while the other works outside the home. While most
parents understand the necessity of
purchasing a life insurance policy
on the income earner, few realize the
importance of also insuring the stay-
at-home spouse.
Being Prepared for the Unexpected
What if the stay-at-home spouse
suddenly became ill, disabled or died?
The family would be devastated.
Friends and family members would
initially pitch in to help. But, eventu-
ally they would return to their regular
David W. Shea, lives. Before the surviving spouse
Financial Services Professional returned to work, a caretaker for the
New York Life children and home would need to be
Insurance Company hired, presenting a potential financial
hardship. But, had life insurance been
purchased on the stay-at-home parent, the family’s needs would
have been protected.
Measuring the Value of the Stay-at-Home Spouse
Despite the importance of the stay-at-home parent, there’s little
research to quantify its value. In its May 8, 2008, Mom Salary Sur-
vey, Salary.com reported the ten most popular functions performed
by mothers equates to $116,805 per year vs. a working mother’s
salary of $68,405. It further states the stay-at-home spouse works a
94-hour week, serving as housekeeper, teacher, cook, psychologist,
and van driver — in short, functioning as a CEO at home.
Flexible, Customizable Choices
The type of policy you select depends on your needs and budget.
Term life insurance provides affordable coverage for several years.
In contrast permanent life insurance provides protection for your
entire life (provided premiums are paid) and accumulates cash
value tax-deferred. This cash value can be accessed (unpaid loans
accrue interest and reduce policy’s cash value and death benefit).
Plus, riders, available with term and permanent life insurance,
enable you to customize your policy to meet and grow with your
changing needs.
The loss of a parent is hard enough on a family; purchasing insur-
ance coverage for a stay-at-home spouse can help ensure that it
doesn’t become a financial hardship as well.

Community ties a must for chief
continued from page one
about how police departments
operate.”
Cullen said 53 resumes
were sent in response to the
posting for a Duxbury police
chief. Some of those won’t be
moving on to the next round
because they don’t meet the
minimums in the job descrip-
tion –– 15 years policing ex-
perience, seven years as a su-
pervisor, with a minimum rank
of lieutenant and a bachelor’s
degree, for example.
Cullen said the group has
read all the resumes –– work-
ing over the holidays –– and
has discussed all of them in
some fashion. She praised the
group’s dedication to detail and
said they understand the im-
portance of their task.
“We were all pretty much
on the same page,” said Cul-
len.
She said Unsworth has
been especially helpful with
things that might not show
up in a resume. For example,
he said that state trooper ex-
perience doesn’t necessarily
translate to municipal depart-
ments, with the exception of
Connecticut, where the officers
are organized differently. He is
also encouraging the commit-
tee to look for connections to
the community outside the po-
lice station –– such as a Little
League coach or Rotary Club
member, or someone who has
taught at a police academy or
college.
“It indicates they’re people
oriented ... I think that’s so im-
portant,” said Unsworth.
Unsworth said that the
value of community policing
has increased greatly over the
years, and a chief in a town like
Duxbury needs more than tech-
nical knowledge.
“It’s not merely respond-
ing to a call, taking a report and
leaving, it’s solving a prob-
lem,” he said.
Unsworth, who was a police
officer for 32 years, 11 as chief,
before forming Badgequest
eight years ago, said he will be
working with the committee to
narrow down the candidates
over the next couple of weeks.
He has sent a list of 4-5 addi-
tional questions to candidates
and is waiting for responses. At
the next screening committee
meeting, the group will hear
from current Interim Chief
Stephen Doherty and Town
Manager Richard MacDonald
about the specific needs of the
department. Unsworth said he
has also sent a questionnaire to
both sworn and civilian Dux-
bury Police Department mem-
bers and plans on conducting
interviews.
“Now we will really start to
focus on the specific needs of
the community,” he said.
Around the end of March,
Duxbury Clipper Wednesday, January 13, 2010
he will put the top candidates
through an “assessment cen-
ter,” a series of role playing
exercises and written ques-
tions designed to simulate the
challenges a police chief might
encounter. He and three police Bed & Breakfast– A Delightful Experience

without comparable measure.”
Currently, Skeiber has no
concrete plans for the future,
she said this week that she
does not currently have any
job prospects but has no plans
to retire from education. She

said she’d consider another su-
perintendent or administrative
job, as well as consulting or
teaching in higher education.
“It is a tremendous loss to
our community that Superin-
tendent Skeiber has chosen to
move on,” said Karen Wong,
who also announced at the
meeting that she would not
seek re-election after six years
on the board. “Skeiber is not
only highly skilled and focused
on preparing our students for
the challenges they’ll face af-

15 years.”
Skeiber said there are sev-
eral reasons that went into her
decision to step down.
“I can’t say it’s just one
particular thing,” she said. “It’s
a variety of things that have
made me make that decision.”
However, when asked if
the recent furor around the de-
cision to change school start
times affected her decision,
she said the negative tone of
the discussions was at least a
factor.
“That has had an impact on
me,” she said.

• Worry less and sup-

said that she believes the nega-
tivity over the past two years
has had an effect on the admin-
istration as well as the commit-
tee.
“The superintendent has
been playing defense and re-
acting to issues instead of ad-
vancing ideas,” she said.
Skeiber said she under-
stands major policy changes
elicit passionate reaction from
parents and community mem-
bers.
“I do believe that good
debate, listening to both sides
of an issue is important,” she
said. “I think you need to hear
where both sides are coming
from.”
When it came to the start
time issue, Skeiber and the
School Committee took some
heat for not only the final deci-
sion, but the process.
“The big issue is commu-
nication,” she said. “Was there
something we could have done
more of? I guess probably
there was. We felt at the time
we were making this pretty up-
front, but there’s always ways
we could have improved.”
Part of that passion, how-
ever, is what also made Dux-
bury a good community to
work in.
“It certainly is a commu-
nity that is invested in educa-
tion,” Skeiber said. “People
support education and want the
best for their kids. I have found
over the 15 years people are
working on how we improve
that education for kids ... so

They sell them as a cour-
tesy to the town and a conve-
nience for residents. In some
cases, the store loses money
on bag sales if customers use
a credit card to buy them, be-
cause the stores must pay a fee
for the credit card transaction.
“We need to support the
folks in town anyway we can,”
said Sullivan. “This is the least
we can do.”
Sullivan said town offi-
cials have repeatedly heard the
complaint that the town and its
residents don’t support Dux-
bury businesses.
“I think the town should
put its money where its mouth
is and support these business-
es,” said Sullivan. “I can’t see
it as a bad thing.
DPW budget to increase slightly
By Susanna Sheehan, Clipper Staff
susann@duxburyclipper.com
DPW director Peter Butt-
kus told selectmen Monday
his entire budget for FY2011
will increase just over one
percent.
He said some of the fif-
teen departments that are part
of the DPW show slight salary
increases due to raises that are
part of union contracts, but
that most departments show
overall decreases.
The total proposed DPW
budget for fiscal year 2011 is
$3.67 million. This includes
$1.86 million for salaries and
$1.8 million for expenses.
The current FY10 DPW
budget stands at $3.63 with
$1.83 million in salaries and
$1.79 million in expenses.
Selectmen did not take a
vote on the DPW budget be-
cause Town Manager Richard
MacDonald ask them to wait,
as he said was still working
on some of the numbers.

Sullivan and Selectman
Chris Donato voted unani-
mously to require all sales of
town trash bags to Duxbury
stores only. Jon Witten did not
attend Monday’s meeting.
Sullivan said that allowing
only Duxbury stores to sell the
official baby-blue refuse bags
will mean more foot traffic
into these retailers, which they
hope will translate into more
sales.
Currently, four Duxbury
retailers sell the bags: Ben-
nett’s General Store, Osborne’s
Country Store, Foodie’s Su-
permarket and the Gulf gas
station.
Other stores used to sell
the bags but chose not to re-
new their contracts, said De-
men:
• Recognized Buttkus for
his recent Tree Warden of the
Year award, which he received
last week. MacDonald said he
nominated Buttkus and that
the DPW director was cho-
sen from among tree wardens
from 351 cities and towns.
The award was given by the
Massachusetts Tree Warden
and Forresters’ Association.
• Announced there will be
a state ethics workshop at the

day, Jan. 20 at 7 p.m. Open to

Thumbs up for new crematory NO TIME FOR A HAIR CUT?

By Susanna Sheehan, Clipper Staff
susanna@duxburyclipper.com
A $2.5 million plan to re-
place and relocate the cremato-
ry in the Mayflower cemetery
met with enthusiastic approval
from the Board of Selectmen
Monday night.
Department of Public Works
director Peter Buttkus. The
crematory is now the busiest
in Massachusetts and the third
busiest in North America, he
said. The crematory and cem-
etery are part of the DPW.
Buttkus said the town
the current one lacks sufficient
space for operating the crema-
tory. There is not enough room
to meet with families and to
store the crematory records.
Also, the building is not handi-
capped accessible and many of
their clients are elderly. Having

NEXT TO POOPSIES ON THE MARSHFIELD LINE

posal to build a new combined
crematory and office building
in the back of the cemetery,
with access through the ceme-
tery and off Mayflower Street.
The project will be pre-
sented to Town Meeting for
a vote in March. If approved,
it will be on the town elec-
tion ballot to be funded as a
debt exclusion, or a temporary
property tax increase. Because
of this, the article must receive
a two-thirds vote to pass at the
annual Town Meeting.
The new crematory would
be 3,000 square feet and the
office would measure 1,300
square feet, said David Crispin
of the BSC Group of Boston,
the consultant hired to plan the
new crematory. This is larger
than the current 2,000 square
foot crematory and 1,000
square foot office.
Drawings show a Cape
Cod-style, dormered office
building clad in natural shin-
gles attached to a larger shin-
gled building. The crematory
would have four retorts, or
machines into which a casket
goes for cremation. It would
be expandable to six in the fu-
ture.
If approved, the new cre-
matory would open in 2012.
Duxbury’s existing crema-
tory was built in 1979 and was
the first and only in the state
for many years, according to
and outdated and the town has
outgrown it. Over 3,600 cre-
mations are done in Duxbury
each year, Buttkus said.
“It has reached the end of
its usefu l life,” said Buttkus.
“The retorts are used to say
the least,” added Crispin.
The new retorts would be
more efficient than the current
ones and thus provide more
capacity for more cremations.
Remodeling or expand-
ing the existing building is not
possible, said Buttkus, because
a new facility would need to
be larger to meet current stan-
dards and there is no room at
that site to build one as it is
surrounded by graves, which
have been developed over the
last thirty years.

A loss for

S
uperintendent of Schools Susan Skeiber is leaving
Duxbury, and the community is the worse for it,
not only because Skeiber is a more than capable
administrator, but because of what may have helped push her
away.
Dissecting what’s gone on with the school district over
the past year or so is tricky. It’s easy to point at tense School
Committee meetings and say that excessive negativity is
driving people away. But a major decision –– like changing the
school start time –– shouldn’t just slide by in the middle of the
night unnoticed. There should be vigorous, loud and passionate
debate, and it shouldn’t always be comfortable and polite. It’s
been good to see debate and disagreement between School
Committee members as well; a board that always votes 5-0

scoring.

last Wednesday in which Dux-

and defeat WHP, who were
finalists in last year’s state

One thing that is mak-
ing this team a powerhouse
is its depth, and it showed
on Wednesday in Bridgewa-
ter when Weiler was able to
go with three lines the whole
night, eventually wearing
down WHP in the final 15
minutes.
“Our depth really helps
and we are lucky enough to
have a lot of girls that can
play,” said Weiler. “It’s nice to
be able to run three lines out
there, because it helps finish
games strongly.” ALAN HURLEY

4 Duxbury Clipper
MLK faithful and true continued from page one
doesn’t live only in the form of hurled epithets, midnight tire-
slashing, or obvious and horrible violence. It lives in hearts like
mine, where racism beats its life in cold isolation, insulated by
my layers of self-comforting and hollow illusions of openness
and inter-culturalism.
I memorize the sacred texts of others in the original
language. How can I be racist? I am deeply drawn to helping
far-away peoples and their cousins here in America. How can
I be prejudiced? I can say “thank you” in a score of languages,
and delight in the smiles of appreciation I receive in return.
How can I be hateful?
I can do those things in a way that no other group can do
so well: I am an Anglo-Saxon Protestant man in America. I can
meet you, deal with you, even do business with you, and still
look through you as if you don’t exist. Cloaked in privilege, I
can rest content in my presence in my space, and never let you
in. As a bright and well-educated WASP, I can even do these
things while fairly dripping with sociable political correctness,
highlighted with just the right amount of edgy humor or
“insider” recognition of your coolness to deflect you from
my hypocrisy. In the end, you can live right on my street, and
you’ll never even know that I know you are there.
How can I write this? My shock spurs me on, shock at the
self-recognition that this is the second time I’ve “learned” that
Arthur Bernard lives here in Duxbury. Even the surprise and
pride I felt at the first learning of this important fact, I pushed
into oblivion until now. Mr. Bernard and I may always travel
in different personal circles – I’m not high (or even present)
on Statehouse guest lists – but I’m a columnist with Duxbury’s
newspaper of record. I write a column called “What’s Going
On Here?” Mr. Bernard’s story is certainly something that is
“going on here.” No, it’s not arts and entertainment, but my
column often wanders far from that field.
Am I a racist? No more, perhaps, than what I’ve just
written, but certainly no less. What I find in this self-
examination is true, and is no longer tolerable to me. I often
joke that my most consistent trait is contradiction. I will always
be thus, and I love few things more than the brilliant synergy
that can emerge from my embracing my contradictions.
Incongruence is something else, a living lie that festers within.
It doesn’t feel like joyous complexity. It feels like slime.
God willing, I’ll meet Arthur Bernard at the Martin Luther
King Day Breakfast. I’d like to write about him again. I’d like
bring my heart forward just a little bit, or maybe even a lot. I’d
like to know that the incongruence within me has a solution. I
hope he reads this column. I’d like to see him eye-to-eye, and
for him to see me, as if he and I were right in the same room,
same town, same world.

After Murphy’s first-period goal was matched by W-H’s
Shannon O’Leary, the Panthers were still hanging around after
two periods despite being significantly out-shot by the visitors.
Duxbury’s depth kicked in at the start of the third period, as
their skating lead to a flurry of scoring chances with Connolly
(2) and Molly O’Sullivan giving the Lady Dragons a 4-1 lead
midway through the period.
Lilly Connolly and Donovan would complete the Duxbury
scoring.

Boys hoops recovers with big wins
By Mike Halloran, Sports Editor

It’s been two weeks since
Gordon Cushing lost one of
the most excruciating games
of his basketball coaching ca-
reer when his Dragons blew a
huge first-half lead in a 71-69
OT loss to Marshfield.

However, his players seem
to have forgotten it quickly, as
they walked over North Quin-
cy, 62-40, then proved they
could be a dark horse for the
Patriot League crown when
they played one of their bet-
ter games of the year on Fri-
day night in a 69-57 win over
Hingham.
Earlier in the season,
Cushing stated that the league
favorites were Scituate and
Hingham, but that could be
changing, as the Dragons and
Whitman-Hanson seemed to
have had little problem deal-
ing with the Harbormen.
Friday night’s tilt started
slowly with Duxbury grabbing
an early 6-4 lead, as 6’7” se-
nior Aaron Kramer was estab-
lishing himself inside against
Hingham’s 6’5” center Jason
Sullivan.

After losing nine seniors
from last year’s starting line-
up, including league all-stars
Colin McKenzie, Johnny Bar-
rett and Tyler Genereux, Coach
Kyle McCarthy knew that this
was going to be a rebuilding
year with five freshmen in the
lineup.
One of those Duxbury
freshmen, Owen Grey, opened
the match at heavyweight
against W-H junior Tom Con-
don. After Condon got the
first takedown against the un-
dersized Grey, he took a 2-0

on a 10-2 run with Patrick
O’Hearne leading the way,
and maintained the lead over
the next few minutes until free
throws by senior Brian Gross-
man and a basket by classmate
Mike Sullivan narrowed the
gap to 21-16 as the quarter
came to a close.
It was a totally different
ballgame in the second quar-
ter, as Duxbury picked up its
defensive play and chipped
away at the Hingham lead be-
fore Cushing called a timeout
with 5:33 left in the half.
Trailing 27-23, Grossman
hit a three-pointer and fol-
lowed it with a free throw to
tie the game at 27. A 7-0 Dux-
bury run followed, making it
34-27 for a lead the Dragons
would never relinquish.
Grossman would score five
more points in the final minute
of the half, and Duxbury took
a 41-33 halftime lead with the
captain tallying 15 points.
“Our defense was terrible
in the first quarter. We gave up
21 points and that is not what
we normally do,” said Cush-
ing. “We made the kids lock
them down and not gamble on
steals. It’s got to start on de-
fense for us.”
Hingham began the second
half with some defensive pres-
sure, but it hardly made a dif-
ference, as the Dragons broke
it at will and led 50-42 with
2:30 left in the third quarter.
However, Hingham’s Brett
Canepa buried a three-pointer

Barr hit a shot at the buzzer af-

Cushing stew on the sidelines
with his lead down to 52-47.
Barr and Kramer matched
points to start the final eight
minutes, followed by a Jor-
danesque up-and-under move
by Sullivan that had the crowd
on its feet. The basket started
a six-point run by the senior
and blew the game wide open,

his starters remained to finish

“Offensively we have four
or five guys that can score in
double figures every game and
that makes us hard to defend,”
said Cushing. “But we have
to defend too. If we can keep

Grossman led the Dragons
with 23 points, while Kramer
and Sullivan had solid games
with 15 each.
Next up for the Dragons
is a Patriot League match-up
with Rockland on Wednesday
night at 6:30 p.m. in Duxbury,
followed by another league
game in Hanover on Thursday
night at 6:30 p.m.
There is no game on Fri-
day night this week.
6-6, Duxbury freshman Jake
Genereux, who finished sev-
enth at Marshfield, took the
mat against W-H’s Marcus
Coles. After a takedown late
in the first period, Genereux
went on to dominate the 112

decision, giving the Dragons a
10-6 lead.
The Dragons were in a
good position to extend their
lead with senior captains Tim
Donoghue (119 lbs.) and Rob
Kates (125 lbs.) due up next.
Donoghue, who finished sixth
at Marshfield, had his hands
full with W-H junior Alex
Perry in the 119 lbs. match-
up. However, a takedown and
an escape gave the Duxbury
captain the win, and put three
more points on the board for
the hosts.
Unfortunately Kates, who

Blake decided it was Ian

Matthews took the puck from

it in front, where it was acci-

period.
It didn’t take C-C long

The Dragons had a golden

Now leading 16-12, Dux-
bury junior Jamie Auer made
his varsity debut in the 135
lb. contest against W-H’s Jeff
Bechen. It was clear that Auer
could not match the experi-
ence of Bechen, who was up
9-2 in the third period, but the
Duxbury grappler ignited the
home crowd with his effort in
a 16-6 loss.
The four-point Panther
victory tied the match at 16-

Donovan turned in the match
of the night against W-H senior
captain Dan Rogers in the 140

for a deflating 3-1 deficit.
Blake decided to bring
goaltender Tim Matthews in to
start the second period and the
junior was unlucky right off the
bat, as captain Shayne Marks
came flying through center ice
before firing on Matthews. His
shot on net sailed into the air

down of the match, and hung
on for a thrilling 8-7 victory.
Just as Duxbury was feel-
ing like a win was in the cards,
its hopes were quickly dashed
when junior W-H captain Joe
Peterson pinned Duxbury’s
Colin Connolly (145) in the
second period, and fellow se-
nior captain Aaron Wiltshire
earned a 13-4 major decision
over Duxbury senior Conor

ons in a serious bind.
Senior defenseman Jake
Kearney did his best to get his
team back in the game, as he
kept a clearing pass inside the
blue line and fired a slapper
though a screen of players that
made its way just inside the
right post to cut the lead to 4-2
with 12:55 left in the period.
Lady Luck doesn’t seem to
be in the Dragons corner these

shocked the hosts with a third-
period pin of senior captain
John McGeady in the 160
lbs. weight class, giving the
visitors a commanding 32-19
lead.
However, Duxbury fresh-
man Cody Dormandy almost
gave the Dragons the spark
that they were looking for in
the 171 lbs. match-up against
W-H junior Chris Kellum.
Dormandy was up 12-6 in
the third period and looked to

call. Instead, Kellum got a

Charland’s goal four min-
utes into the third period gave
Duxbury hope. However, a
failed power-play less than a
minute later was the Dragons’
last serious chance to get back
in the game.
”I think we totally out-
played them for all three pe-
riods,” said Blake. “When
we were 4-1-1 the puck was
bouncing our way, but now
it isn’t. Now we are back to
square one, so we’ll have to
keep working on it. I don’t fault
the effort tonight. I thought we
carried the play tonight and
were the better team, but the
puck just bounced Coyle’s
way.”
and the win.
Duxbury junior Alec McK-
enzie would get six points
back when he pinned W-H
senior Ryan Pagani in the 189
lb. contest, but Duxbury’s lone
pin was not nearly enough to
close the gap.
In the final match of
the meet, Whitman-Hanson’s
senior captain recorded his
team’s sixth pin of the night at
215 when he pinned Duxbury
freshman Winston Shromm,
giving the visitors a 44-25
win.
