Island Creek
talks stall
By Justin Graeber, Clipper Editor
justin@duxburyclipper.com
The fate of the Island
Creek North project is still up
in the air, despite a deadline
that came and went Thursday
night.
Town officials seem opti-
mistic that a deal will still get
done, and an extension was
recently granted until Feb. 26,
according to Zoning Board
of Appeals Chairman Dennis
Murphy.
“There is room to negoti-
ate,” Murphy told his fellow
board members on Thursday.
However, Murphy feels that to

AG investigation
By Susanna Sheehan, Clipper Staff

Selectman Chris Donato
believes the town should be
investigated by the attorney
general’s office for how it
awarded the North Hill golf
course contract in late 2008.
Donato said Monday that
he began to look into this is-
sue after Doug Johnson of
Johnson Turf and Golf, the
current manager of the public
9-hole golf course on Merry
Ave., dropped off a packet of
information last week related
to his lawsuit against the town.

Johnson, who managed the

the town after losing the man-
agement contract to Calm Golf
of Rockland. Johnson’s law-
suit claims that Calm Golf is
unqualified and that the town
conspired against him.
In October of 2009, the
town sent out a request for
bids for a five-year contract to
run North Hill. The course is
publicly owned but the day-to-

Political signs ruled protected
By Susanna Sheehan, Clipper Staff
susanna@duxburyclipper.com
Four concerned Duxbury
women met with the selectmen
this week about the legalities
of political signs.
On Monday, Mary Jane
Noel, Pat Garrity, Nancy
Landgren and Mary Lynn Car-
son told selectmen various
stories of how their signs had
been stolen from or ripped out
of their front lawns, and how
they were told by both town
employees and the police de-
partment that political signs
were illegal in Duxbury.
Political signs are not il-
legal in Duxbury. They are
considered protected speech
under the First Amendment to
the Constitution, and they can-
not be taken from front lawns
by town employees, the police
or private citizens, town offi-
cials said this week.
“There is a question about
whether or not the town allows
YEARS
political signs,” said Mary
Jane Noel of Trout Farm Lane.
“We’ve gotten conflicting an-
swers from town officials and
sometimes from town employ-
According to town bylaws
on sign regulations, politi-
cal signs may be erected and
they are considered temporary
signs. No political signs are al-
lowed on town property unless
selectmen grant permission.
Town counsel Robert Troy
said the signs were allowed
and protected by the First
Amendment, which ensures
the constitutional right to free
speech.
Mary Lynn Carson of
Washington Street said in this
past election a political sign
she had on her front lawn was
taken during the night and that
the police department told her
that it was probably the police
who took it down because it
was not allowed.
Carson said that later that
day, Lieutenant Lewis Chubb
called to tell her that the offi-
cer was incorrect and that po-
litical signs are allowed.
In response to the women’s
presentation, Town Manager
Richard MacDonald said he
would communicate to town
employees that political signs
were legal in Duxbury.

it would be the School Com-
mittee making the final deci-
sion, and Future Management
Systems would just be there to
help.
“We emphasize it is your
search ... we will provide the
added value,” he said.
Future Management Sys-
tems, based in Beverly, has
been in business for 30 years.
Warren said that the search
could be done “comfortably”
in four months, but could be
compressed to about three.
“I say time is really of the
essence. Competition is great,
the pool of candidates is not
necessarily deep,” Warren
said.
Jacqueline Roy of J. A. Roy
Associates in Dennisport said
she’d be the best fit for Duxbury
because she focuses exclu-
sively on school superintendent
searches.

He said his firm would help
compile a list of candidates,
and could work with focus
groups from the community to
get input on the search.
Jacqueline Roy of J. A.
Roy Associates, said she has
been in the business of su-
perintendent searches for 25
years.
“This is really my niche,”
she said. Based on the Cape,
she has worked all over the
Eastern seaboard.
“I get a lot of pleasure
working with school districts
and trying to find the best pos-
sible matches,” she said.
Like the other presenters,
she said the pool of potential
candidates was shallow and
the district was best suited by
moving quickly.
“There is still quality out
there and some candidates to
get excited about ... although
probably far fewer than we
would like,” she said.
School Committee mem-
ber Anne Ward asked Roy if
she had a staff –– Roy said it’s
basically just her. However,
she said she does have a net-
work of colleagues around the
country.
Roy said Duxbury should
be a place superintendent can-

Donato calls for investigation
continued from page one
ny. Prior to that, Johnson had
run the course for 10 years.
Upon opening the bids,
Town Manager Richard Mac-
Donald decided a procedure
wasn’t followed the first time
around and sent out bids again.
Johnson sued to block the re-
bidding process, but it was
allowed by a judge. When
the contract was eventually
awarded to Calm, Johnson
sued again, this time obtain-
ing a successful year-long in-
junction in Middlesex County
court that allowed him to re-
main in control of North Hill
for the 2009 golf season under
the terms of his last contract.
During the selectmen’s
meeting Monday night, resi-
dent Steve Peterson asked
selectmen about Johnson’s
lawsuit, saying he had heard
the town had been sued and
wanted to know about it.
Donato read from John-

son’s legal materials, which
stated that in February 2009,
a judge ruled that Calm Golf
was unqualified because it had
submitted financial statements
that were not audited, that it
did not carry pesticide insur-
ance and that it did not own
its own equipment. Therefore,
said Donato, the awarding of
the bid should be independent-
ly investigated for “procure-
ment fraud.”
“Based on what I’ve read,

Reel faith at Journey Feb. 14
“Gifted Hands: The Ben
Carson Story,” will be shown
at The Ford Center of Miramar
Retreat Center this coming
Valentine’s Day Sunday, Feb.
14 at 10 a.m. Though Valen-
tine’s Day is typically associ-
ated with couples and roman-
tic love, Journey Community
of Faith think it’s a great oc-
casion to focus on the love of
God.
Gifted Hands is the story
of a true heroine, Sonya Car-
son, a divorced single mother
with a third-grade education
who raised her two boys in
the slums of Detroit, juggling
numerous jobs to keep a roof
over their heads. Because she
couldn’t read, Sonya could not
help her boys with their home-
work but her emphasis on
both faith and education gave
them the best possible hope for
avoiding the pitfalls of poverty
and restless adolescence.
One of her sons, Bennie,
faced the taunts and ridicule of
others in school where he felt
he was hopelessly dumb and
also dealt with a volcanic tem-

Donato. “We should refer this
to the Attorney General.”
Calm Golf is a relatively
new company, but its princi-
pals are Charles Lanzetta and
Anthony Morosco, who have
over 80 years combined ex-
perience running golf cours-
es. They previously ran the
Strawberry Valley course in
Abington. MacDonald did not
comment on the matter Mon-
day but has said in the past that
he awarded the bid to Calm
because they offered the town
the most money out of the two
qualified candidates (Calm and
Johnson.)
Both Selectmen Chairman
Betsy Sullivan and Selectman
Jon Witten said they would not
discuss this topic in an open
session because it was about a
pending lawsuit involving the
town. The matter was better
suited for a closed-door ses-
sion, they said.
Sullivan said she was
3EAFOOD
surprised that Donato would
bring up this information at
the open forum of the select-
men’s meeting.
“Our town counsel is in
the court working through this
and I can’t believe you would
try to circumvent the process
in this way,” said Sullivan.
Witten said he would “not
have this conversation” in or-
der to protect the town’s bar-
gaining position.
“This is one of the few

Morse makes Olympic team
continued from page one
“It’s really nice to see all
the hard work and dedication
pay off.”
Morse, a Duxbury na-
tive started at the Killington
School in seventh grade with
a focus on mogul skiing, and
graduated from there in 1999.
He was the 2008 National
Champion in moguls and dual
moguls.
On Tuesday, Jan. 26,
Morse was named to the 2010
Olympic Freestyle Ski Team.
Morse finished in fifth place
at the 2010 Lake Placid FIS
World Cup event in Lake
Placid Jan. 21.
“I was just absolutely over
joyed,” said Morse’s moth-
er Sheila, about hearing the
news. “I was just so thrilled to
see all his efforts and dedica-
tion all come together ... it’s a
dream come true.”
Gnoza said the announce-
ment was especially sweet for
his former pupil because four
years ago, he missed mak-
ing the Olympic team by one
spot.
“He was always a hard
worker,” said Gnoza. “He was
a real student of the game and
always worked hard to make
improvements. He has a natu-
ral touch on the ski slope.”
Sheila Morse said Mi-
“He was a real student of the game and always worked
hard to make improvement. He has a natural touch on
the ski slope.”
Killington Mountain School
chael has been struggling with
injuries over the past several
years, so making the team
means a lot.
“He missed the last Olym-
pics by .005 of a point . It just
made him that much more de-
termined. He stuck with his
plan.”
She said Michael wasn’t
one of those young skiers
who’s dreamed of the Olym-
pics since his first wedge turn.
Instead, he tried to do his best
wherever he found himself.
“I think it was one step at a
time,” she said. “His goal was
to do well at the level he was
at. Each level he got to made
him hungry to get to the next
level.”
“I felt surprisingly calm in
Lake Placid,” said Morse in
a statement released by Kil-
lington. “I really enjoy com-
peting in Placid and felt quite
confident in my skiing on that
course. I believe that part of
being an athlete is all about
how you perform under pres-
sure. I am glad this worked
out the way it did.”
Gnoza said mogul skiing
requires all the basic knowl-
edge of downhill skiing plus
additional agility to navi-
gate the hardened mounds of
snow.

century sensibilities as the word Negro is now considered
offensive. But in 1948, when the book was published, Negro
was an acceptable word. Ms. De Knight was the Food and
Home Service Editor for Ebony Magazine and led the way
in promoting a previously overlooked cuisine with her first
edition of a book that is most entertaining and informative.
™<g^Z[adhh
“A Date with a Dish” was the first of its kind to “contain
recipes, menus and cooking hints from and by Negros from all
™A^[ZigVch^i^dch
over America.” She compiled this book years before the Civil
Rights Amendment passed. Taken in its historical context,
™:Vi^c\Y^hdgYZgh
this simple volume of recipes and anecdotes is a remarkable
achievement. A black woman published a cookbook of black
™GZaVi^dch]^e^hhjZh
recipes and received enough interest and critical acclaim to
warrant a reprint three decades later.
™9ZegZhh^dcVcm^Zin
She opens with “there is magic in a cookbook” and her

8JIA:G8DJCH:A>C<
recipes and introductions, touched by her lyrical wand, reveal
family traditions, delectable personalities and a view into a
time gone by.
Ms. De Knight traveled the country culling recipes from
her friends, family and cooks she met along the way. Her
goal was to honor and illuminate African American cooking AZha^ZEgdjam8jiaZg!B#6#!AB=8
beyond the stereotyped ingredients and recipes, and she ,-&"-'+".,%%™lll#XjiaZgXdjchZa^c\#cZi
succeeded. She brought the same amount of respect for
starlet/singer Lena Horne’s recipe for East Indian Chicken
as she does to Mrs. Cora Perrin’s recipe for Jellied Pineapple
Salad. Ms. De Knight has “seen soup made from costly
delicacies and it was scrumptious and seen soup made from
leftovers by the poor and it was breathtakingly good. Whether
it is served in a palace or a shack it is good for us. So let’s try
it!”
The book is peppered with the stories of the cooks she met
in her travels. She writes of the southern plantation cook, the
high-end renowned Philadelphia caterer and the one hundred
year old woman teaching canning techniques in the mid west.
“A Date with a Dish” exposes the reader to recipes as esoteric
as Lobster Newburg and as pedestrian as Scrapple; it is a book
full of recipes, history and love. In her own words: “A cook
book can teach you everything you need to know if you take
the time to read it as you would your favorite story.”

Camera club to spotlight travel photography

The Feb. 3 meeting of the Duxbury
Camera Club will feature two Duxbury pho-
tographers, Kathy Dixon and Joan Collins,
who will illustrate their travel photography
philosophy and techniques. Although each
has extensive experience with travel pho-
tography, their presentations will show how
approaches to the subject can vary. This pro-
gram is intended to inspire those who may
be planning vacations and also to show that
one does not need to be an expert to make
memorable pictures. Both Kathy and Joan
have won many photographic awards.
In lieu of a critique, members who wish
to participate are asked to bring one matted
or mounted photograph, taken while travel-
ing, and be prepared to spend one minute ex-
off P” and will be presented by photographer
Glenn Pollock. This workshop is scheduled
for Feb. 6 in the Library’s Setter Room and
is geared to all beginner photographers as
well as those who are reluctant to move off
the automatic camera setting.

“I feel like the fox is chasing

Murphy said that he felt the
issues the applicant is pushing
back on deserve to be vetted in
a public hearing.
“These guys are willing
to re-engage in good faith, we
should be willing to do the
same,” he said. At the same
time, he warned that the board
should keep their eyes open.
“They finally realized
they’re not going to steam

Orosz was also concerned
that the development team

state housing board without

he was fearful the state would
be used as a “brickbat” against
the town.

The public hearing for Is-
land Creek North will be re-
opened on Thursday, Feb. 25.
The ZBA also heard sev-
eral other cases on Thursday
night.
The homeowners at 34
Friendship Lane want to de-
molish and rebuild their exist-
ing two-story home. At issue
is the home’s current non-
conforming status with local
zoning regulations. The rep-
resentative for the homeowner
said he should be able to do
the new construction, but ZBA
members as well as other town
officials disagreed.
“It’s a complete tear-down,
the new construction needs to
be brought into conformity,”
said Amy MacNab of the Plan-
ning Board.
“There seems to be the
opinion of homeowners, de-
velopers that a non-conformity
that has established a confor-
mity unto itself,” said Orosz.
“There is nothing that supports
that aspect.”
The hearing was continued
until March 11.
The board also heard a
pitch to reconstruct a pier at 2
King Caesar Road.
A design team presented a
cost analysis on behalf of the
homeowners, saying the cost
of rebuilding the pier would
be almost as much as replac-
ing it.

competed in a variety of age
categories called hives, and
stunned the crowd with their
spelling prowess. The spectac-

Two of the historical proj-

historical landmarks.
The First Parish Church on
Tremont Street has applied for
$50,000 in CPA funds to restore
the ten enormous double hung
36-over-36 pane windows that
line the church’s sanctuary.
The windows measure 8 feet
wide by 14 feet high. The total
cost of the project is $106,000.

their original or early glass
with its irregularities, but the
wooden sills, sashes, frames
and muntins all show wear and
deterioration, and they won’t
operate, he said.
“They are deteriorated to
the point where restoration still
makes sense,” Friesen said.
To fully restore each win-
dow, the sash must be removed
from the opening and each
individual pane of glass will
be taken out. The window is
then stripped to the bare wood,
which is treated, primed and
repainted. The glass is put back
and reglazed on the inside and
outside. The result is that the
windows will be restored to
their original condition.

Kiley said the Commission
supports this project, but she

A school district in flux – looking
back on the last six years
S
By George Cipolletti
erving two terms on the Duxbury
School Committee, half that time as
chairman, has provided a unique per-
spective into the dynamics, politics and finances
that interact in molding the school district. I’d
like to share some in-
sight into my six years
as a School Commit-
tee member so that in-
formed citizens can be
better prepared to cast
their ballots in March.
I believe this is a criti-
cal town election.
The atmosphere in
Duxbury in early 2004
between the school
system and the towns-
people was still recov-
ering from the highly divisive and controversial
“zero tolerance” policy that had been enforced
by the District. I mention this because from the
time that Mrs. Wong and I were elected, there
was a strong feeling of distrust between at least
some members of the School Committee and
the administration. That atmosphere has cre-
ated a cloud over the district ever since, and has
influenced much of the behavior evident in our
popular public access “reality” TV show. The
inability of the School Committee to rebuild
trust between the district and the electorate has
hurt the schools and is our biggest failure. This
must be corrected or we will find ourselves un-
able to attract quality educators.
The issues that we have addressed during
my two terms have been substantial. Spanish
instruction is in place from first through twelfth
grade. We added vigor to our academic require-
ments for graduation. We have replaced “Home
Economics” with technology education in DMS.
Our elementary Math and Reading programs
have been completely restructured. We started a
“High End Learner Program” at Alden School.
Teacher supervision has been enhanced and in-
structional coaches have been implemented to
improve teaching effectiveness. We have taken
a disciplined approach to budgeting. We altered
our schedule to better align with the biologic
patterns of teenagers. We successfully imple-
mented a completely new database system (X2)
which handles everything from scheduling to
transcripts. Interestingly, most of these advanc-

es were to some extent controversial, yet I’m
sure that most parents and students would be
appalled if we were to revert to the way things
used to be.
All of this, and more, was done in an era
of modest budget growth and limited funds. We
have been resolute in maintaining the education
of the whole child, so having strong athletic,
music and fine and performing arts has always
been a priority. We’ve had to significantly in-
crease user fees to allow this, but I am con-
vinced that we must continue to support these
programs. Unfortunately, we have taken all of
the non-essential items out of our budget. We
have survived the last few years by replacing
retiring teachers with less expensive younger
folks, but the opportunity to continue this is
limited. We are no longer replacing textbooks or
computers when we should be; I’m concerned
that soon we will not be able to replace teachers
when they retire.
I am disappointed that we didn’t do more
to find creative solutions to educating our kids.
I believe technology should play a greater role
and may be able to allow more individualized
instruction. The School Committee needs to
foster a supportive environment that enables
good administrators to be comfortable in tak-
ing chances and being creative, or else we will
be stuck with the status quo. Unfortunately,
we have spent countless hours bickering over
details that do not belong on the School Com-
mittee agenda and have often been intrusive in
the day to day decisions of the district when we
should have been thinking strategically. This
behavior recently cost us a very good superin-
tendant in Mrs. Skeiber and threatens to inhibit
the hiring of a new administration.
The School Committee’s job is to temper the
perceived wishes of the public with the imple-
mentation of sound policies. There has always
been at least one group of unhappy parents at
every meeting we have held. All of these voices
have been heard, but not all have resulted in
change. The fact is that you can never know
the will of the people until you are re-elected or
voted out – and even then you only know about
the small percentage of the population that ac-
tually votes.
Mr. Cipolletti is the Chairman of the School
Committee. He is not seeking re-election this
spring.

P
By John Britten
resident Obama was in Tampa last week to an-
nounce a $1.24-billion-dollar plan to build a
high-speed train service from there to Orlando.
I find it comforting to know that my government is on
top of America’s needs. Who knew that there was a need
for a 100-mile-an-hour train from Tampa to Orlando? If
you had asked me a month
ago, for example, where I
thought there was a need
for a $1.24 billion-dollar
high-speed train route, I
would have said something
like, oh, I don’t know,
maybe from Boston to New York, or maybe New York to
D.C. Which of course shows you why I’m not running this
country.
But, at the risk of sounding like a forty-firster, I have
some questions. According to my Google map, it is only
91 miles from Tampa to Orlando and the trip takes 1 hour
and 29 minutes by car. I have to wonder just how fast does
the President think people in Tampa need to get to Disney
World? It takes that long just to get across Tampa some
days.
Maybe the President is concerned about Tampa resi-
dents that may have to commute daily to work in Orlando?
Well, If the projected speed of that train is only 100 miles
per hour, you had better be living in the Tampa train sta-
tion and hope your job in Orlando is across the street from
that station depot. I have a better idea..why not just give
everyone in Tampa money to buy a house in Orlando?
Thanks to Barney Frank, you can buy any house in Florida
right now for about $89. I figure you can relocate the
entire population of Tampa to Orlando for no more than
sixty-five-grand. Throw in another three-grand for new
shuffleboard courts and half the people won’t even notice
the difference.
But, the President’s plan doesn’t just stop in Orlando.
Once finished with the critical Tampa-Orlando link, he
plans to run another high-speed rail line from Orlando
down to Miami. There is just one problem with that idea.
People in Orlando don’t go to Miami. Sean Penn goes
to Miami. People from New York go to Miami. People
from New Jersey go to Miami, together with people from
Germany and Russia, Brazil, Ecuador, Chile, Bolivia and
Japan. They all go to Miami. But, people from Orlando
don’t go to Miami and they won’t in the future. And, why
should they? They already had Disney World, Universal
Studios, Sea World and the Motorcycle Hall of Fame. Now
throw in all those new homebuyers from Tampa and a
bunch of new shuffleboard courts and Orlando folks aren’t
going anywhere. Well, maybe to The Villages, but it has
shuttle buses.
I realize that my idea for saving a billion or so dollars
doesn’t mean much to someone unused to dealing in such
small numbers, Mr. President, but, if you’re really look-
ing for a transportation project that will resonate with the
American public have you thought about a pick-up truck?
M
y husband and I have long though that the obvious
solution has been overlooked.

Tweaking mass production
J
essica Straus’ work at The Art
Complex Museum from Feb.
21 through May 16 proves that
limitations provide rich fodder for inven-
tion. Her widgets are crafted with the
pared down elements of hand-carved and
painted balls, pegs, and jointed segments.
Straus marries her hand-crafted wooden
elements with found metal forms, some
familiar, others enigmatic. Her inventions
stretch the definition of function and cel-
ebrate the quirkiness of the individual in
a joyful swipe at mass production. Exhibit Jessica Straus, Strainer Ball, 2009, wood, paint,
will be in the Pheonix Gallery. found object, 11” x 5” x 5.”
Straus will also exhibit her “Little Red Dress” series. Small carved female figures, stoi-
cally poised in various precarious positions, leave the viewer at once alarmed and chuckling in
self recognition. As in all of Straus’ work, the line between levity and gravity is crossed and
recrossed, and held in delicate balance.
Educated at Brown University, Kansas City Art Institute, and Cranbrook Academy of Art,
Straus now works out of her studio in Somerville, Massachusetts. A reception is scheduled for
Feb. 28, 1:30-3:30 p.m. Museum hours are Wednesday through Sunday, from 1-4 p.m. Admis-
sion is free. For more information call 781-934-6634 ext. 12 or visit artcomplex.org.

him out cold from a crowd, but knowing it was him, I could see
him shining through. Leon Flesdrager (the roomie) still looks
exactly the same. I could have spotted him at an airport.
My experience might not be everyone’s. I find with each
connection, and the few memories we have exchanged and
clarified since, that a part of myself falls back into place. A
favorite record album, or a memory of some other shared
acquaintance, takes on a whole new life when shared today
with someone who was there “yesterday.” And when a part of
myself falls into place, I feel more whole. More present. More
comfortable in my own skin.
Some of the memories are tough. At my age, some of the
characters are gone. Charley’s mother (Lib) is still alive, but his
father died just recently. I’ll write more about him this coming
Memorial Day, but for now I’ll say only that I knew him as my
friend’s dad, and that he was a next-door neighbor for three
years. His service with the 29th Infantry Division assaulting
Omaha Beach at Normandy in World War II will wait, like the
story of his helping to save my dog’s life.
My older brother, Bob, has used the Internet to reconnect
with everyone from his high school classmates to his buddies
in Vietnam. His “reply all” e-mails span the globe, sharing
everything from really lame jokes to important self expressions
and personal news. Through him, I now can contact relatives
that had become mere memories.
It’s not automatic. Bob works at making and keeping these
connections – now a web – and I just do my best to keep in
touch. I still qualify as “Loner,” though “Professor” has stuck
with me over the years – both in college and during my days as
an 18-wheeler driver.
So connect now, whoever you are. Treasure your yearbook
when it comes. If you youngsters think you might lose it, give
it to your parents for safe-keeping until you settle. You’ll need
those pictures to remind you of who you meet online years
from now. But don’t wait until you’re 60 to connect. Even the
classmates you barely know may become friends in the future –
even if one of you needs to apologize. And you oldsters – don’t
waste another moment. Facebook and the like won’t hurt you,
and you might just find a part of yourself you didn’t know was
missing.

Wrestlers rebound with three wins
By Wendy Genereux
Clipper Contributor
After a couple of tough
weekends on the road, the Dux-
bury wrestling team returned
to winning form Wednesday
night at home with a resound-
ing 57-21 win over North
Quincy, prior to winning two
out of three matches on Satur-
day over Somerset and Rock-
land.

with freshman Nick Kates tak-
ing the mat for Duxbury. Kates
found himself in a hole after
two takedowns, but an illegal
hold by his opponent gave him
a point and life at 4-1. Howev-
er, Kates was taken down again
and three back points by the
lanky Blue Raider beat him by
a 9-1 major decision.
The Somerset lead was
short-lived when freshman
Jake Genereux took the mat for
the hosts in the 112 lbs. weight
class. Genereux took his oppo-
nent to the mat, and recorded
the first of Duxbury’s four
pins, giving the home team a
6-4 lead.
Unfortunately for the visi-

tors, things went downhill
from there when they had to
take consecutive forfeits at 119
and 125, handing the Drag-
ons a commanding 14-point
lead. That set up a showdown
between Duxbury sophomore
Mikkel Linskey and Somerset
junior Troy Pappas in the 130
lbs. weight class.
Linskey went on the of-
fensive twice, but couldn’t fin-
ish the takedown, allowing the
Somerset junior to take advan-
tage of bad positioning. The
period would end with Pappas
up 2-0, and he would extend
his lead to 3-0 after an escape
from bottom. Unfazed, Lins-
key landed a takedown of his
own, and would tie the score at
3-3 late in the third period with
an escape of his own. To the
delight of the Duxbury bench,
Linskey forced overtime where
he wasted little time taking
Pappas to the mat for a dra-
matic 5-3 OT win.
Somerset was in desperate
need of a win and a pin when
they bumped up senior captain
Eric Francis (#3 in the state
at 130) to take on Duxbury’s
Jamie Auer in the 135 lbs.
weight class. The experienced
senior captain showed why
he’s among the state’s best, but
Auer refused to be pinned. In-
stead, Francis had to settle for
an 11-0 major decision.
With the score 21-8 in fa-
vor of Duxbury, Somerset was
looking to close the gap with
senior captain Matt Taber fac-
ing off against Duxbury junior
Pat Donovan. Neither wrestler
could muster a takedown in the
first period, but Taber executed
a perfect switch from the bot-
tom position, giving him a
two-point reversal. Donovan
would cut the lead in half with
an escape, but that would be
as close as he would come, as
Duxbury Clipper
SENIOR NIGHT: Senior wrestlers and their mothers were recognized during last Wednesday’s home
meet against North Quincy. Pictured are: Senior captain John McGeady, Paula McGeady, Conor
Clark, Nancy Clark, Hazel Donoghue, senior captain Tim Donoghue, Colin Connolly, Irene Connolly,
senior captain Robert Kates and Annemarie Kates. The team went on to beat the Red Raiders 57-21,
recording a season high seven pins.
Taber went on to an eventual
9-2 minor decision.
Somerset would earn five
more points in the 145 lbs.
weight class when senior Colin
Connolly lost by technical fall.
The undersized Duxbury grap-
pler did a great job eluding the
pin, but the Blue Raiders were
on the comeback trail.
Senior Conor Clark would
dash any hopes of a come-
from-behind victory for the
visitors when he took Somer-
set’s Sean Angelini to the mat
in the 152 lbs. weight class and
quickly pinned him, giving
Duxbury another six points.
It was much the same for
the hosts in the 160 lbs. match-
up between Duxbury senior
captain John McGeady, who
pinned Somerset freshman
Aaron Klein in 31 seconds,
extending the Duxbury lead to
33-16.
Somerset would make
it interesting in the heavier
weights when they sent senior
James Finglis out against Dux-
bury sophomore Bobby Boyle.
The hard working underclass-
man was no match for the ex-
perienced senior, who earned a
second period pin.
Looking to avoid the
same fate for another one of
his wrestlers, Duxbury Head
Coach Kyle McCarthy opted
to take a forfeit at 189 instead
of sending Alec McKenzie out
against one of Somerset’s top
wrestlers in senior Nick Almei-
da. Instead, the Duxbury junior
would bump up to 215 and face
senior Kevin Howorth. The
decisive move saved the match
for the Dragons, as the teams
exchanged pins in the final two
bouts with McKenzie pinning
Howorth, and Somerset senior
captain Adam Pan pinning
Duxbury freshman Owen Grey
at heavyweight. Duxbury es-
caped with a 40-36 victory.
After getting crushed by
top-ranked Bridgewater-Rayn-
ham, 65-4, Duxbury rebound-
ed in their third match of the
day with a 33-30 win over rival
Rockland.
Rockland wrestling has
a proud tradition under head
coach Tim Brown (ninth year)
and has won five consecutive
Patriot League titles. Just like
Duxbury, the Bulldogs lost
many seniors to graduation, so
Brown knew he was going to
have to pull out all the stops to
beat the Dragons.
The match was another
seesaw affair with Duxbury

van at 140 lbs., only to give up

ever, John McGeady would
get another pin for Duxbury at
160.
With the match tied at 12-
12, sophomore Bobby Boyle
would come back from a near
fall and 5-0 deficit in the first
period against Rockland junior
David Roy to earn a pivotal
9-8 decision.
Again the two teams would
exchange points when Rockland
junior Brian Harrington pinned
Alec McKenzie at 189, and
Duxbury’s Owen Grey would
take a forfeit at 215. Neither
team had a heavyweight with
Duxbury freshman Winston
Schromm out for the remainder
of the season with a virus.
With Rockland’s varsity
103 pounder out with an in-
jury, Coach Brown strategized
ahead of time by having his
112 and 119 lbs. wrestlers cut
down to the lower weight class
to give them a better chance of
winning. The decision almost
worked in Brown’s favor, as
Rockland senior Fernando Na-
scimento pinned Nick Kates
and junior John Bille pinned
Jake Genereux, giving the visi-
tors a 30-21 lead. The move
was especially significant be-
cause Genereux had pinned
Nascimento earlier in the sea-
son, and had just earned a 10-2
major decision over B-R junior
Nathan Jaranville, preventing
a Duxbury shutout.
Fortunately for the Drag-
ons, they still had enough am-
munition left on the bench in
senior captains Tim Donoghue
(119 lbs.) and Robert Kates
(125 lbs.), who both followed
with key pins in their respec-
tive weight classes, giving
Duxbury a 33-30 win.

case all year long, the Lady
Dragons are a tough bunch.
Nothing seems to get them
down for long, as evidenced
by Saturday afternoon’s 2-0
shutout win over Whitman-
Hanson/Pembroke.
Duxbury had a quick ad-
vantage with a power play
opportunity just two minutes
into the game, but failed to
score, then watched as fresh-
man Hannah Murphy went in
alone on WHP goaltender Kel-
ly Travers, only to be stopped
in her scoring bid a couple of
minutes later.
While both teams had
problems putting the puck in
the net, it looked like Dux-
bury had finally broken the
jinx with 3:32 to go in the first
period, only to have the goal
disallowed when the referees
ruled it had been kicked in.
With 1:10 left in the period,
junior Briana Connolly almost
put her team on the board, but
was robbed by Travers as she
stuck out the glove to preserve
the 0-0 tie at the end of the
first period.
The second period started

Less than a minute later she
unloaded a shot from the right
face-off circle and was robbed
again by Travers.

8 Duxbury Clipper
Dragons lose heartbreaker in final seconds
By Mike Halloran, Sports Editor
sports@duxburyclipper.com
Treading lightly with a
chance to make postseason
play, the Dragons took a giant
step backwards in their pursuit
of that goal when they dropped
a 4-3 decision to Braintree
High School on Saturday night
at The Bog.
Coming into the game at
5-7-1, the Dragons needed four
wins in their last six games to
make the .500 mark to qualify.
With three tough games sched-
uled in the Cape Cod Clas-
sic over school vacation, it
seemed like a must-win for the
Dragons.
Braintree came out smok-
ing and dominated play in the
first period, scoring less than
three minutes into the game
when junior forward Jared
Rizo moved into the slot un-
touched and blasted a shot off
the crossbar that dropped be-
CLOSE CALL: Goalteder Derek Williams flashes his glove to make a save while Will Siefert moves
in to help out.
Snipes hunt
Duxbury’s Scott Shaunessy, Jeff Norton, Bobby Farrelly, Jack Corbett, and Jack Smith traveled
to Sun Valley, Idaho to take on the Sun Valley Suns in semi-pro hockey action. Their East Coast
Gutter Snipes team split the weekend series, falling 7-6 (OT) on Friday night and avenging the
loss with a resounding 11-6 victory on Saturday night.
hind goalie Derek Williams for
a 1-0 lead.
Following the goal, the
Wamps were aggressive on
their forecheck and had the
Dragons pinned in their own
end for close to a minute. Un-
able to advance the puck, Dux-
bury had few scoring chances
until late in the first period
when they got a rare breakout.
Taking a pass from ju-
nior defensemen Joe Coyne,
sophomore Cam Daley came
flying down the right wing
and unloaded a shot from the
top of the face-off circle, beat-
ing Braintree goaltender Mike
Monahan over his left shoulder
and under the crossbar to tie
the game at 1-1 with 36 sec-
onds left in the period.
The goal seemed to get
the Dragons back on track, as
they were far more competi-
tive in the middle stanza and
almost went ahead with 5:07

to go when a goal was disal-
lowed when the net came off
its moorings.
The Duxbury pressure con-
tinued to mount, as defenseman
Jake Kearney unloaded a blast
on Monahan that signaled the
Dragons’ most aggressive play
of the night.
But the Dragons’ aggres-
sive play would come back to
haunt them, as three players
over-skated a loose puck in
the Duxbury end and watched
helplessly when Rizo scored
his second of the night for a
2-1 lead with 2:58 left in the
period.
Duxbury didn’t let the mis-
take affect its play, as it contin-
ued its aggressive style. It took
just a over a minute to tie the
game once again when junior
captain Bryan Barry fired from
the left face-off circle to beat
Monahan with 1:24 to go in the
period.
While the Dragons felt
good about their comeback
effort, they must have taken
a psychological hit with eight
seconds remaining when a face-
off to Williams’ right turned
ugly. With Rizo winning the
draw, he slid the puck across to
captain Tim Harrrington, who
barely tipped the puck into the
far right corner beyond Wil-
liams’ reach for a 3-2 lead.
The well-played and pen-
alty-free game finally saw its
first man-advantage of the
night with 8:19 to go when the
Dragons went on the power-
play, only to see their chance
at a tie go by the boards.
Wednesday, February 3, 2010
Duxbury kept its feet mov-
ing and it finally paid off, as
sophomore forward Will Sief-
ert tied the game with 4:21 to
go, giving Duxbury a chance
for a comeback win.
Things were looking up for
the Dragons with 2:26 to go
when the Wamps were called
for too many men on the ice.
However, even a timeout by
Coach John Blake to get his
troops organized couldn’t get
the job done.
All the momentum Dux-
bury generated came to a halt
with 48 seconds to go when
the Dragons were nailed with
a holding penalty. Able to hold
off the Wamps for most of the
penalty, a slight breakdown left
Harrington all alone coming
through the slot where he slid
his shot into the far corner past
Williams for the game-winning
goal.
“We just aren’t getting the
bounces now that we did ear-
lier in the season,” said Coach
John Blake. “That’s the second
time we have gotten a penalty
in the final minute of a game
and it cost us. We played better
as the game went on, but we’re
still not playing for 45 minutes
the way we need to.”
The Dragons will travel to
Scituate on Wednesday night
at 6:10 p.m., and return home
on Saturday night to take on
Xaverian at 6:20 p.m. at The
Bog.

DYF announces 2009 Black Lion Award winners

T
he Duxbury Youth
Football teams re-
cently held their
end-of-season banquets and
three teams presented the
Black Lion award. This nation-
al award is given in the mem-
ory of Major Don Holleder, a
former West Point All Ameri-
can who died in combat in
Vietnam in 1967, and the men
of the Black Lions 28th Infan-
try Regiment who died with
him that day. The award is in-
tended to go to the person on
the team who best exemplifies
the character of Don Holleder:
leadership, courage, devo-
tion to duty, self-sacrifice, and
above all an unselfish concern
for the team ahead of himself.
The recipients of this award
were Drew Hadley (eighth
grade midgets), Drew Michel-
son (seventh grade midgets),
and Cam Smith (fourth grade
mites). The eighth grade head
coach Rick Lippard praised
Drew Hadley for his will-
ingness over the years to do
whatever necessary to help his
team be successful. “Drew’s
leadership over the years, and
this year in particular, played
a large part in the success of
the team. Drew has a knack for
coming up with the big play
when his team needs one, as
exemplified by his Super Bowl
winning touchdown catch this
season as time ran out.” Drew

Navigating the boat show

The Pack 1776 Black Dragon Patrol at the Cranberry Harbors Webelos Klondike Derby 2010 held
Jan. 23 at Camp Squanto in Plymouth. Standing are Ben Sullivan, Guy Holbrook, Tripper Donnelly,
Chase Donnelly and Mike Williams. Seated on sled: Mike Dannemiller, Quinn Capraro, Ryan
Driscoll and Luke Mallegol. The derby consisted of 10 stations where patrols district-wide were
tested on their scouting skills and leadership abilities, earning points towards a total score. The
Duxbury Black Dragon Patrol collected and transported their required gear on a sled that was made
by one of the boy’s grandfathers with materials donated by the scouts.
Duxbury Bay Maritime School has called in two local ex-
perts for an informative presentation on boat buying on Wednes-
day, Feb. 3, at 7 p.m. J.R. Kent, President of Bayside Marine,
will offer a power boat shopping perspective, while Sam Law-
son, President of Lawson Yachts in Hingham, will discuss the
sailboat side. Don’t miss the chance to hear from the insiders!
Snow date will be on Feb. 10.
DBMS is located at 457 Washington Street, in the Snug har-
bor section of Duxbury. Please call the office to let us know
you are coming (for planning purposes and in case of snow).
781-934-7555. Suggested donation is $5 at the door to cover the
light refreshments.

The Black Dragons successfully demonstrate their ability to build a fire and burn through two strings
of varying height. The boys’ fathers accompanied the scouts at the Derby but were not allowed to
help their sons, so they had to move their sled from station to station, demonstrating their knowl-
edge of first aid, cooking, knot tying, fire building, knife safety, naturalist training, flag folding, map
and compass skills and more. The Black Dragon Patrol earned a ribbon and patch with an average
score of 7.7 out of 10.

Fourth Friday Film Series

The Duxbury Free Li-
brary’s next film in the Fourth
Friday Film series, “Volver,”
directed by Pedro Almodóvar
will screen on Friday, Feb. 26
at 7 p.m. in the Merry Room,
library lower level. Led by
James Mandrell, library trustee
and professor of film at Bran-
deis University, the series is
designed for the over-18 crowd
and meets every fourth Friday.
Film screenings are preceded
and followed by lively discus-
sion led by Prof. Mandrell.
Admission is free and refresh-
ments are available.
For further information,
781-934-2721 x100 or go to
duxburyfreelibrary.org.
Feb. 26: Volver (Spain
2006) dir. Pedro Almodóvar.
121 mins. Rated R. Anyone
with questions about Pené-
lope Cruz’s talent as an actor
will have all the answers af-
ter watching this film. Alm-
odóvar treads familiar ground
and works with some of his
favorite actresses—including
Carmen Maura, Lola Dueñas,
and Chus Lampreave—to cre-
ate a film of genuine emotional
resonance.
March 26: Songcatch-
er (USA 2000) dir. Maggie
Greenwald. 109 mins. PG-13.
Although somewhat anach-
ronistic, the music and Janet
McTeer’s pitch-perfect perfor-
mance more than make up for
whatever is less than apt for the
period. With Pat Carrol and
Aidan Quinn, as well as a sur-
prisingly affecting Emmy Ros-
sum in her first feature film.
April 23: Ma vie en rose /
My Life in Pink (France 1997)
dir. Alain Berliner 88 mins.
Rated R. A family with a secret
that it tries desperately to keep
under wraps. Eventually, ev-
erything comes out—doesn’t
it always?—and everyone has
to make a choice about what is
important to them and why. A
subtle and sweet film with 13-
year-old Georges Du Fresne
in a remarkable debut perfor-
mance.
