Clipper takes home NENPA awards
T
he Clipper took
home several first-
place awards at Sat-
urday’s New England News-
paper and Press Association’s
“Better Newspaper Contest,”
held at the Park Plaza Hotel in
Boston.
Staff writer Susanna Shee-
han and Editor Justin Graeber
took home a first-place award
in the “Editorial Supplement
or Special Section” category
for their work on the annual
Town Meeting preview. The
NENPA judges called it “one
of the best voters’ guides I’ve
seen in a long time. Clear con-
cise issue-by-issue analysis
coupled with highly effective
consumer-impact graphics.
Billed as a ‘plain sense’ voters’
guide, it is that, but it is also
one of the most sophisticated.”
They also won a second-place
award for government report-
ing for the guide.
Advertising-wise, the Clip-
per won first place for “Best

“I want to congratulate

The Duxbury Fire De-
partment will use its $59,946
grant to acquire firefighting
equipment such as nozzles, fit-
tings, valves, gates and draft-
ing equipment. This will bring
all six fire trucks up to the cur-
rent technology and standards,
making for a much more effi-
cient and safe operation.
“The Duxbury Fire De-
partment is proud to serve its
community and strives to meet
its mission of protecting the
community,” said Chief Kevin
Nord. “We are continuously
looking for external fund-
ing sources to maintain that
mission and provide updated

4 Duxbury Clipper
Board mixed on union article
By Susanna Sheehan, Clipper Staff
susanna@duxburyclipper.com
During their review this
week of the eighteen financial
articles that will face voters at
March’s Town Meeting, se-
lectmen gave a lukewarm re-
ception to the idea of creating
a salary reserve account used
to pay collective bargaining
agreements after the close of
town meeting.
Finance Director John
Madden floated the idea as a
way to fund union contracts
that are settled after Town
Meeting finishes. Madden said
he wanted the town to have the
option to have the article, al-
though he did not recommend
any dollar amount for it.
Often union contracts will
be settled between town meet-
ings and the pay raises will be
retroactive. Having a salary
reserve account would allow
the town to fund that retroac-
tive portion, said Madden.
“This is to honor agree-
ments made between town
meetings,” he said.
The alternative is to call a
special Town Meeting to fund
the contracts and this carries
with it a cost for the town, said
Madden.
Union contracts that are
settled and ratified before
Town Meeting are funded
through a warrant article either
at the special Town Meeting or
the annual meeting or both,
depending upon the time peri-
ods the contracts cover.
Selectmen voted 2-1 to
support the salary reserve ar-
ticle, which is special Town
Meeting warrant article nine.
Selectmen Chairman Betsy
Sullivan voted against endors-
ing the article, saying she did
not like the lack of oversight
she felt came with it.
“There has always been
an amount of checks and bal-
ances,” said Sullivan. “I am
a little uncomfortable to not
have that.”
Selectman Jon Witten
wondered how unions would
react if this account was set up
and had a set amount in it that
was public knowledge.
“How does it work if the

• Approved annual Town
Meeting article three, the
compensation of elected offi-
cials for a total of $79,040.
This includes a $2,000 raise
for the town clerk, bringing
the recommended salary to
$69,000.
• Approved a $54 million
FY2011 operating budget in
Article 5 and a $1.47 million
capital budget in Article 6.
• Approved article 10 to reau-
thorize three revolving funds,

pot of money is there and ev-
eryone knows about it before
they begin contract negotia-
tions?” asked Witten.
When reached after the
meeting, Madden acknowl-
edged that could happen but
said that wasn’t his thinking
when he proposed this article.
He likened this article to the
annual personnel article in
which Town Meeting agrees
to a sum of money to be used
for raises for certain town em-
ployees and then town manag-
ers distribute these funds.
In addition to STM article
nine, selectmen discussed and
voted to support seventeen
other financial articles that will
appear in both the special and
the annual Town Meeting.
Selectmen approved spe-
cial Town Meeting article one
for departmental transfers.
This includes $10,000 to cov-
er emergency overtime costs
for the Fire Department and
$15,000 for ambulance sup-
plies and ambulance billing.
This article also includes
an $80,000 transfer to the
snow and ice removal budget
for the DPW. Currently, that
budget is in the red by more
than $56,000.
Article one also lists a
$33,720 transfer to veteran’s
services to pay for additional
bills. These are reimbursable
by 75 percent from the state.
There is also a $226,000
transfer to cover unemploy-
ment compensation, and be-

The Duxbury Democratic Town Committee will be holding
the annual caucus to elect delegates who will attend the Dem-
ocratic State Convention in June. The meeting will be in the
Merry Room at the Duxbury Public Library, Saturday, Feb. 20,

cause the Percy Walker pool is
expected to re-open in April,
there needs to be funding to
staff it. STM article one in-
cludes a transfer of $44,750
for pool salaries and $21,125
for pool expenses.
Finally, there is a $176,400
transfer to the unemployment
trust fund.
All these transfers will be
paid from the town’s free cash
account.
Selectmen endorsed STM
article 2 for unpaid bills in
the amount of $6,667.34 and
they also approved STM 3 for
$95,000 to fund four school-
related union contracts.
In STM article 5, select-
men supported the creation
of an enterprise fund to run
the Percy Walker pool after it
reopens. With this type of ac-
count, fees collected from pool
users will go toward operating
the pool. Additional funds in
the enterprise account can be
set aside and used for capital
expenses when needed.
With special Town Meet-
ing article six, Madden is pro-
posing transferring money to
an unemployment trust fund
an anticipation of additional
unemployment costs the town
must pay due to the bad econ-
omy.
Currently there is a
$176,500 deficit in the unem-
ployment trust that the town
must cover, said Madden. This
will be taken care of in article
one for departmental transfers.
But Madden does not want to
run a deficit in the future and
is hoping voters agree to ap-
propriating $200,000 into this
account to take care of future
needs.
In STM article 7, selectmen
agreed that $29,000 in leftover
debt from the Birch Street wa-
ter tank project should be paid
off using free cash instead of
bonded.
The final special Town
Meeting article selectmen
supported would transfer
$300,000 from free cash to

CDs and Deferred Fixed
Annuities: Which is Right for You?
You can’t turn on the news today without hearing fresh reminders of the turmoil
in the markets and the broader economy. In this uncertain climate, many people
are anxious to try to find a safe place for their savings.
Two popular options are certificates of deposit (CDs)
and deferred fixed annuities#. Both are considered
low-risk vehicles for building wealth; yet they differ in
important ways. Which choice is better? The answer
depends on your goals and priorities. The following
information will help you determine which of these two
products is best suited for your needs at this time.
s3AFETYOF0RINCIPAL Both CDs and deferred fixed
annuities are considered low–risk investments. CDs are

Financial Services Professional by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC)
New York Life for up to $250,000* per depositor. Should the bank fail,
Insurance Company
the FDIC guarantees CDs up to this amount.
Deferred fixed annuities are issued by insurance companies and are not insured
by the U.S. government. They are backed by the financial strength of the issu-
ing insurance company, regardless of the amount. Therefore, before purchasing
an annuity, you should make sure the issuing insurance company is financially
sound. You can determine financial strength by requesting the findings of inde-
pendent rating companies such as Moody’s, A.M. Best, Standard & Poor’s and
Fitch. These companies evaluate the financial strength of insurance companies
and publish ratings that give their assessments of each company.
s3HORT4ERMVS,ONGIf you’re saving toward a specific near-term objective —
say, a down payment on a car or home — a CD may be the way to go. CDs offer a
guaranteed** interest rate over a maturity period that could range from a month
to a few years.
Deferred fixed annuities, by contrast, are generally designed for accumulating or
protecting retirement savings. In later years, they usually offer more flexibility if
you need access to your money.*** They can even be used to provide a legacy for
your heirs.
s$ISTRIBUTION/PTIONSAT-ATURITY When a CD reaches its maturity, you can
take the CD’s lump sum value in cash, renew the CD for the same or different ma-
turity period or examine other investment alternatives (such as a deferred fixed
annuity).
In a deferred fixed annuity, you may elect to withdraw your money in a lump
sum*** or you may want to select a lifetime income option, which provides you
with a flow of income that you cannot outlive. You could also elect to let your
funds continue to accumulate until a need arises.
s4AXES Federal law treats these two savings options quite differently. If taxes are a
concern, a deferred fixed annuity may be the more attractive choice. CD earnings
are taxable the year the interest is earned, even if you don’t withdraw the money
at that time. In contrast, earnings from deferred fixed annuities are not taxed until
they’re withdrawn, giving you some control over when and how much tax you’ll
pay. For specific tax advice, consult your tax professional or advisor.
New York Life Insurance and Annuity Company does not provide tax, legal or accounting advice.
Please consult your own tax, legal or accounting professional before making any decisions.

*The standard insurance amount of $250,000 per depositor is in effect through December 31,
2013. On January 1, 2014, the standard insurance amount will return to $100,000 per depositor
for all account categories except IRAs and other certain retirement accounts, which will remain at
$250,000 per depositor.
** CDs are FDIC insured. Fixed annuities are backed by the claims-paying ability
of the issuing company.

Sick day change on warrant

By Susanna Sheehan, Clipper Staff member. Duxbury’s newest firefighter/
./7%.2/,,).'&/2&!,,
s /VERYEARSOFLEADTEACHINGEXPERIENCE
susanna@duxburyclipper.com
Town Meeting voters will
TEACHERRATIO
be asked to approve a change
to the Duxbury personnel by-
law that will allow town em-
ployees to use their sick days
to care for their family mem-
bers and not just themselves.
Entitled “Family sick

time,” the new section allows
employees to take up to 40
hours of their available sick
time per fiscal year to care for
an ill member of their immedi-
ate family. Currently, employ-
ees are only allowed to take
sick time when they them-
selves are ill.
Duxbury selectmen dis-
cussed and approved this
change and one other at their
meeting Monday night with
Human Resources Director
Jeannie Horne and the person-
nel board.
Selectmen Chairman Betsy
Sullivan said she would like to

see the bylaw define what con-
Personnel board member
Wayne Heward said the by-
law should follow the Family
Medical Leave Act, which has
a clear definition of immediate
family. Horne agreed to add it
to the bylaw.
Another change to the by-
law makes part-time employ-
ees who work less than 20
hours a week eligible for paid
vacation and personal and sick
days. As this practice currently
is in place, it made sense to al-
ter the bylaws to fit the reality,
said Horne. However, part-
time workers hired after this
July will not be eligible for
this type of time off.

Tweaking mass production

Jessica Straus’ work at
The Art Complex Museum
from Feb. 21 through May 16
proves that limitations provide
rich fodder for invention. 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 inven-
tions stretch the definition
of function and celebrate the
quirkiness of the individual in
a swipe at mass production.
Exhibit will be in the Pheonix
Gallery.
Straus will also exhibit
her “Little Red Dress” series.
Small carved female figures,
stoically 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.

versity, Kansas City Art Insti-
tute, and Cranbrook Academy

Friend S. Weiler Sr., Candidate for Moderator
F
riend S. Weiler, Sr.,
of 7 Trout Farm
Road, is a candidate
for town moderator, the posi-
tion held for the last 24 years
by Allan Bornheimer. Weiler
has lived in Duxbury for 32
years with his wife Candy.
Their two sons, Friend, Jr. and
Eric, are graduates of Duxbury
High School. Weiler is a senior
vice president of HarborOne
Credit Union, where he started
up a commercial lending divi-
sion in 2009. He has been in
commercial banking for most
of his adult life. He has had
numerous leadership roles at
various banking institutions as
a team leader, division head,
and president.
“I am very excited about
the opportunity to serve Dux-
bury as its next town modera-
tor. I have had the pleasure of
working with Allan over the
years and have admired his
leadership. I feel that my ex-
perience in banking has helped
prepare me for this new role. I
have managed large numbers
of people, have had numerous
opportunities to speak before

groups of people from various
backgrounds to achieve com-

Weiler’s experience with
Duxbury town government
goes back to the late 1980s.
He first became active as a
member of PRIDE, a citizens
group that led the effort to get
the first and only Proposition
2½ override approval at the
1988 annual Town Meeting.
He then served three years on
the Finance Committee, chair-
ing it in 1992; six years as a
member of the Board of Se-
lectmen, chairing the board in
1993 and 1995; and six years
am also a member of the Start
Time Implementation and As-
sessment Committee.
Growing up in Duxbury,
I experienced first hand our
town’s inspiring teachers, en-
thusiastic leadership, and pride
in academic, athletic, and per-
sonal excellence. Like many of
you, my husband and I chose
Duxbury primarily because of
its school system. The schools
have met or exceeded most of
our expectations in educating
our children. However, there
are areas in which I believe I

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-

committee last week, didn’t
have enough experience.
The board quickly elimi-
nated the collaborative, as
well as Jacqueline Roy of J.
A. Roy Associates because of
a concern that she didn’t have
much staff support.
“I’m not comfortable with
going with the one person op-
eration,” said Karen Wong.
Connolly agreed. “I felt
that she was very capable,” she
said. “But I also questioned
her capacity because she does
absolutely everything.”
Wong said she was com-
fortable with NESDEC be-
cause of their prior experience,
but had made some calls to
communities who had worked
with Future Management Sys-
tems with encouraging results.
Pilgrim church gives to local food pantry
W “Shipwreck Ball”
hen Pilgrim
Church of Dux-
bury set out to
organize its first annual CROP
Hunger Walk last fall, its mem-
bers knew the money raised for
the hunger relief programs of
Church World Service would
be put to good use. Church
World Service has an ongo-
ing global presence and, as an
example, is currently working
with other agencies in Haiti to
bring in much needed supplies
to that devastated country.
The goal of Pilgrim
Church was also to make a
difference in the local com-
munity. According to Rev.
Todd, senior pastor of Pilgrim
Church, “We are encouraged
by Church World Service’s
commitment to fighting hun-
ger and poverty, both interna-
tionally and locally.” Recently,
representatives of the church
were able to present the Pem-
broke Food Pantry with a check
for over $1,000 as a result of
the CROP Walk. The Pem-
broke Food Pantry embodies
the theme of the walk: “Neigh-
bors walking together to take
a stand against hunger in our
world.” It is staffed solely by
volunteers and truly reflects a
community effort to support
those in need. Carol Ferguson,
the director, has been with the
pantry since 1992 and other
volunteers, Carol and Bobby
Demeres and Harriet Reed,
have worked there since its
inception in 1989 under Edna
“They came back very
positive,” she said.
“I like the variety of
things they do,” said Ward.
“I thought they had a lot of
breadth that some of the other
firms didn’t.”
The board eventually vot-
ed unanimously to select Fu-
ture Management Systems.
“That was easier than I ex-
pected,” said Cipolletti after
the vote.
The board decided to hold
off discussion on the search
committee until they can meet
with Future Management Sys-
tems.
Also at Wednesday’s,
meeting, the board heard from
Tom Guilfoile of Duxbury
Youth Baseball. Guilfoile said
that his organization wanted
to refurbish the baseball field
near Chandler Elementary
School. They also want to put
a plaque at the Train Field
near Alden in memory of Da-
vid Murphy, a longtime high
school and Legion coach who
recently passed away.
“That sounds like a great
suggestion,” said Cipolletti.
Guilfoile said that most of
the older baseball players in
town use the Chandler field,
which is maintained by he
DPW and youth baseball vol-
unteers.
“Over the years we have

also donate their time.
Facing significant increas-
es in the numbers being served
during the past two years, the
Pantry now has 300 families
visiting their facility once a
month. The Pantry relies on
the support of individuals
and organizations and accepts
donations of both food and
money. Thanks to the generos-
ity of area merchants plus the
assistance of local churches,
social service organizations
and many companies and in-
dividuals, the Pantry is able to

be invited to an awards din-
ner at The Village at Duxbury,
where all nominees will be
recognized.
Last year, the advisory
board received so many de-
serving nominations they
handed out multiple awards.
“There were so many out-
standing candidates from so
many areas,” said Joanna Dow.
“We felt we couldn’t leave out
that many people.”
She’s not sure if this year
will see multiple award win-
ners as well.
“It will depend on the pool
of candidates,” she said.
Nomination forms are
available on the Clipper Web
site as well as at the Village,
the Duxbury Free Library,
Town Hall and Westwinds
Bookshop.
Dow said that she’s glad
to see the nominees expanding
into all areas of town life. In
the past, she said, most of their
honorees worked with seniors.
Although the Senior Center
still sends in the most nomina-
tions, more people from areas
like youth sports and town
government are being recog-
nized.

everyone to nominate deserv-

“I am communicating
directly with you because I
firmly believe that reasonable
people informed of all the
facts of this matter will be ca-
pable of arriving at a mutually
agreeable settlement without
undue delay,” Johnson wrote
in the letter.
In the letter, Johnson blast-
ed MacDonald’s deposition
testimony.
“I am of the belief that Mr.
MacDonald was being inten-
tionally evasive throughout his
testimony,” he wrote. “I don’t
recall’ was an answer he used
at least 70 times.”


He also called Calm’s re-
sponse to the North Hill re-
quest for proposal (or RFP) “a
lie” and accused the town of
“rigging bids.”
“No one should be allowed
to just make something up to
obtain the contract,” Johnson
wrote. “That goes for the bid-
ders and the people who eval-
uate the bids.”
Johnson is basing his
claims on financial statements
provided by Calm Golf that
show the company’s total as-
sets amounted to $169, and
he says Calm falsely claimed
to be operating a golf course

claims “at best speculative and

In a memo filed in court
with the motion for summary

court should dismiss John-
son’s claim because the state’s
public bidding law does not
“authorize a private right of

Can we go from good to great?
W
By George Cipolletti
e are reminded often by politi-
cians that we must improve our
educational systems; that we are
falling behind the world. We must meet this
challenge as a community, and answer the dif-
ficult questions: What problems does Duxbury
face? How can we address them? What type of
leadership is required to steer the district in the
21st Century?
The first chal-
lenge is financial.
It is true that sim-
ply spending money
does not necessar-
ily result in better
schools (look at any
large city), but wise
spending can make a
difference. Some of
the best performing
districts in the Com-
monwealth spend a
lot more money per student than we do. Of the
327 districts included in the last reported data,
only 54 spent less than Duxbury. In 2004-2005,
67 spent less. When the next report comes out
we will probably drop further, since our recent
budget increases have been modest.
The idea that we compare ourselves with
districts like Wayland and Lincoln-Sudbury is a
conceit that no longer computes. The standard-
ized test score data supports the fact that we get
a lot of leverage out of our dollars, but in terms
of raw performance, it is obvious that districts
with similar demographics are getting better
results by making a larger investment in edu-
cation. The challenge facing our town will be
to choose between increasing this investment
through an operational override or settling for
a district going from “good” to “fair.” A small
increase in everyone’s taxes would enable us to
reduce user fees, modernize our texts, purchase
adequate supplies and improve services like
guidance that are increasingly critical in col-
lege acceptance. Perhaps a short moratorium
on CPA funds should be considered.
We need to build two new schools. DHS and
DMS have reached the end of their useful life
and frankly are something of an embarrassment

FROM THE ARCHIVES
A
s we begin a new winter
Olympic season, Duxbury
had its own Olympic celeb-
rity back in 1992. Chuck Foster was
Secretary of the International Olympic
Committee for the Albertville Olympics
that year. He was responsible for run-
ning the overall administrative and sup-
port groups for the U.S. Olympic team,
according to a “Clipper Visits...” article,
Feb. 12, 1992. “The biggest job was the
complicated logistics problem of Al-
bertville,” said Foster, “as the games are
spread out over 640 square miles!” Foster
arranged for all the athletes accommoda-
tions, as well as that of the organizations
made up of the national governing bod-
ies from 41 sports on the Olympic and
Pan-American games. Foster managed
a staff of 400 in Colorado, and worked
with the organizing committee in Albert-
ville constructing housing and develop-
ing a transportation system.
Duxbury Clipper
compared to some of the fantastic new facili-
ties in surrounding towns. A big driver of prop-
erty values is the quality of the schools, and the
facilities are the first impression new families
have of our beautiful community. But we also
have to focus on education, not the buildings.
Perhaps by embracing some more modern con-
cepts of teaching we can create an environment
that improves student achievement and allows
us to do so more cost effectively.
I also think it is critical that we not fall into
what I think of as the “MCAS Trap,” formu-
lating policy and directing spending and cur-
riculum at the elusive target of meeting elusive
MCAS goals. The idea behind NCLB legisla-
tion, which led to the MCAS program, was to
measure student performance so that schools
could identify areas of weakness and put plans
in place to correct them. It is inappropriate to
use this data as “pass-fail” criteria for stu-
dents or for schools, yet that is what govern-
ment bureaucrats are forcing on us. Labeling
Alden School as a failure is absurd. Why do we
have the problem? For some reason the state
believes that all special needs children in third
grade should be scoring at the same level as
their mainstream peers on a standardized test.
Many of these children have reading difficul-
ties that we have not yet been able to help them
compensate for, so why would we expect them
to do well on a test that requires the ability to
read? This makes no sense! They do catch up,
otherwise we’d be seeing problems as they test
in DMS or DHS. I think we should congratulate
these educators on the fact that they are able to
move children who are a little delayed up to par
within a pretty short period of time.
Education is ultimately about people.
Teachers, administrators, parents, students and
the School Committee must work together if we
hope to advance. Strong leadership will be re-
quired to pull these sometimes disparate groups
into a cohesive force. The upcoming elections
and the selection of a new superintendent are
critical.
Mr. Cipolletti is the chairman of the School
Committee. He is not seeking re-election this
spring.

that many other people who op-
posed the change now feel the
same way.

South of the
border and
sustainable
I
By Dick Rothschild, Clipper Columnist
t is with a twinge of guilt that I begin this column. I am
overlooking a seductive curve of palm-fringed sand
and blue-green sea known as Puerto Escondido – way
down the Pacific coast of Mexico. Did I mention that the sun
is shining, the temperature is a touch under 80 degrees and a
cool breeze is blowing?
Here in the land of plen-
Thinking Green tiful fish, tropical fruit, and
hammocks beneath thatched
palapas it is hard to believe that anyone is much concerned
about sustainability. Not so!
Sustainability here comes as naturally as sunshine. Na-
tive fishermen in pangas, narrow-beamed open fishing boats,
venture out of the harbor nightly to return early the following
morning with catches of huachinango and dorado. They run
their boats right up onto the beach and sell the fish immedi-
ately to the housewives and restaurant cooks who crowd the
gunnels with plastic buckets and pails at the ready. Talk about
fresh, local and energy efficient. No refrigeration, processing,
packaging, trucking or distribution is required. And the scale
of the local fishing fleet is such that the supply is never de-
pleted. The whole endeavor is completely sustainable.
Puerto Escondido has two major beaches. Zicatela is re-
nowned for its world class surfing and Marinero, the swim-
mable strand. They attract a lot of visitors. That is especially
so on weekends when natives within driving distance of the
coast come down to kick back, cool off and frolic in the tem-
perate waters. The beaches could be a mess of paper and plas-
tic plates and cups and other debris, but they are not. Brightly
painted 50 gallon barrels are placed strategically along the
beach in pairs, one for recyclables, the other for garbage.
So that the message is not lost on the non-observant, hand
painted signs remind visitors and locals to help keep Puerto’s
beaches clean. That is not to say that all is perfect in para-
dise. A certain amount of debris still finds its way onto the
sand, especially after the weekend. So the town has organized
volunteers, men women and children who assemble at one
end of the beach early in the morning, several times a week.
Supplied with large plastic bags they stroll the entire length
of the beach picking up discarded items. When they reach the
far end, having made a clean sweep of the beach, they are
rewarded with refreshments and words of praise from the or-
ganizers.
Sustainable real estate development is also catching on
along the coast. Playa Viva a little north of here, near Zihua-
tanejo is being developed as a sustainable resort and residen-
tial community. Wetlands, once covered with palm plantations
are being restored, native vegetation is being reintroduced and
archeological ruins are being uncovered. Savvy investors are
beginning to learn that the added value generated by tourism
as a result of these moves is producing returns far greater than
the initial costs of regeneration. The resort at Playa Viva will
be solar powered, less costly over time than extending the
electrical grid to this location and providing generators for
blackout periods. The local community of Juluchuca also be-
comes a beneficiary because of associated initiatives such as
a recycling program, an agricultural cooperative and a turtle
sanctuary.
At Zicatela Beach here in Puerto with its gigantic rolling
waves, the surfboard rider is monarch, though sustainability
(on a surfboard) is measured in seconds. That hasn’t discour-
aged one surfboard maker, Imagine ECO, from developing a
board that is as environmentally friendly as possible. Their
board core, for example is made of B-XP3 extruded polysty-
rene foam, a fully recyclable material. The manufacturing pro-
cess used emits only 1/50th of the volume of VOC’s (vola-
tile organic compounds) produced by the traditionally used
type of polyurethane foam. According to ECO, their boards
are completely waterproof so they don’t gas out. And, they are
laminated with renewable bamboo fabric instead of fiberglass
cloth (which is treated with the toxic chemical, chromium).
So, how well do these boards perform? I’m going to let
you get aboard one and give me a full report. You’ll find me
over there, in the hammock under the Palapa. While awaiting
your findings I’ll be sipping a frozen Margarita and thinking
profound, sustainable thoughts.

Old dogs keep performing Spring baseball registration

continued from page one
the highest echelons, the
players are always learning.
A few might settle in and stop
growing, but they always seem
a little grumpy and sad, like
dogs that think they’ll never
really catch that squirrel, and
just give up. Nothing to strive
for anymore.
On the other hand, even
an old mongrel like me can
push for a new challenge.
The greatest purebreds do.
This past weekend, my wife
and I heard Placido Domingo
sing the title role in Verdi’s
Simon Boccanegra at the
Metropolitan Opera. At 69
years old, the famous tenor
has taken on the challenge of
singing a demanding baritone
role.
It’s not as hard as it sounds
– the trip from Boston to the
Met in New York, of course,
not Domingo’s performance.
The bus fare is about $30 each
way, but you can plan ahead
for less, down to $18 each way
(according to the Greyhound
web site). Opera tickets can
run high, but the nose-bleed
seats (they call it the Family
Circle, the scary-high balcony)
start at $27. You can buy them
online, and you must plan far
ahead. The Metropolitan can
sell out months in advance.

Domingo was astonishing.
His voice was as golden as
ever, even in the lower-ranged
role. He was a natural baritone
who trained up to the tenor
range. Unlike some opera
singers, his acting is also
brilliant. When Boccanegra

Dragons get o-wen over Scituate
By Mike Halloran, Sports Editor
sports@duxburyclipper.com
Sophomore guard Curtis
Owen nailed two free throws
with seven seconds left in
the game, and then watched
as Scituate’s Rodney Beldo
went the length of the court
and missed the winning bas-
ket with a couple of seconds
left in Wednesday night’s 65-
64 win over the Sailors.

END OF THE LINE: Mike Sullivan has his path to the basket cut off
in last Wednesday night’s win.
It was sweet revenge for
the Dragons, who were blud-
geoned by the Sailors in a 72-
47 loss in the second game
of the season, and had every
intention of showing they
would be a serious match-up
for anyone come tournament
time.
It was also a big night for
BC-bound senior center Aar-
on Kramer, who was a mon-
ster on the boards with 24
points, including seven points
in the final three minutes to
keep the Dragons from blow-
ing their 17-point halftime
lead for good.
The Dragons raced out to
an 8-2 lead, but couldn’t hold
it for long, as the Sailors went
on a 6-0 run to tie the game
with 2:30 left in the quarter.
Dragons’ Den
Sports Editor Mike Halloran • sports@duxburyclipper.com
Owen followed with a
15-foot jumper and went on a
tear, scoring six more points
over a span of two minutes to
give the Dragons a 20-11 lead
just over a minute into the
second quarter. The Duxbury
offense was on a roll, forcing
Scituate coach Matt Poirier
to call a time out, as his team
was being abused for one of
the few times all year.
The timeout backfired on
the Sailors, as the pumped up
Dragons came back on the
floor and outscored the visi-
tors 14-7 the rest of the way
for a 34-17 halftime lead.
It was obvious the Sailors
needed to pull out all the stops
if they were going to get back
in the game, and they went to
the press immediately in the
second half.
Baskets by Billy Curley
and Brian Grossman had the
lead at 20 points (39-19) just
over a minute into the second
half. However, when the Sail-
ors cut the margin to 41-27 on
a Beldo old-fashioned three-
point play, Coach Gordon
Cushing could sense a come-
back was in the works and
called a timeout with 4:54 on
the clock.
Both teams matched bas-
kets the remainder of the
quarter, with the Dragons
maintaining a 12-point cush-
ion at 48-36 with eight min-
utes left in the game.
After being “held” to 13
points through three quar-
ters, it was now showtime for
Beldo.
Duxbury Clipper 5
Scoring eight points in
the first two and a half min-
utes of the final quarter, the
All-Scholastic guard brought
his team within six at 52-46.
A three-pointer by Scitu-
ate’s Tyler Park and another
Beldo basket cut the lead
to 54-51, and the Duxbury
crowd was certainly nervous.
After a Grossman free
throw made it 55-51, Beldo
stole the ball and went in
alone for a layup, followed
by another driving basket to
tie the game at 55 with three
minutes to go.
It was now time for the
stars to take over, and Kramer
asserted himself immediately,
grabbing rebounds on the of-
fensive boards and scoring
four points for a 59-55 lead
with 2:30 to go.
Beldo responded with an-
other driving three-point play
before senior Nick Moore
buried a jumper to give the
Sailors their first lead of the
game at 60-59 with 1:25 re-
maining.
The Dragons were de-

Girls close in on tournament after rough start

continued from page one
tim earlier in the season,
Duxbury had every intention
of giving the Panthers their
best shot, and they did.
With the Norton sisters
staking Duxbury to an 8-2
lead, Tsinzo canned a three-
pointer and the crowd was
stunned with the Lady Drag-
ons ahead 11-4.
Maggie Norton and North
fueled a 5-2 run to make it
16-7, forcing W-H coach Jim
Daley to call a timeout to as-
sess the situation with 2:45
left in the quarter.
Junior Emily Walker
opened the second quarter
with a bucket for a 19-12
lead, but the Panthers slowly
crept back in the game until
Jenna Cusick buried her shot
with 1:25 to go for a 21-18
halftime lead.
Sophomore captain Tay-
lor Ferry would sink a three
to open the second half, and
follow it with a free throw for
W-H’s first lead of the game
at 22-21 forcing Dunn to call
a timeout before things got
out of hand.
It was a good call by
Dunn, as North and the Nor-
tons went on a 6-2 run to re-
gain the lead at 27-26 as the
third quarter ended.
Duxbury continued to
hold a slim lead at 32-30 on
a Shannon McLaughlin free
throw with just over four
minute to go, only to see Brit-
tany Ford sneak inside for an
offensive rebound to tie the
game at 33.
North and Mary Rose
Grifffin traded baskets at the
two-minute mark to keep it
tied at 35, but Ferry matched
a hoop by Norton with 29.9
seconds remaining to send
the game into OT.
Maggie Norton buried a
three-pointer to give Dux-
bury a 42-39 lead with 1:58
left, only to see Ford score
consecutive buckets to grab
the lead.
North hit a free throw
with 43 seconds to tie the
game at 43. However, Grif-
fin would score the clincher
with 22 seconds to go for the
Panther win.
The Lady Dragons took
on North Quincy Tuesday
night with a chance to qualify
for post season play, and will
get two more shots to make
it happen even if they lost to
the Red Raiders.

Wrestlers finish fourth in South Sectionals

By Wendy Generuex
Clipper Contributor
The Duxbury wrestling
team went into the Division II
South Sectional team tourna-
ment unseeded, but at the end
of the day, the Dragon grap-
plers finished fourth out of
twelve teams.
In the first round, Duxbury
took on a much-improved
Nauset Regional team. A great
start for the Dragons including
back-to-back pins by Mikkel
Linskey (130 lbs.) and Jamie
Auer (135 lbs.), and a pin by
cradle by Colin Connolly in
the 145 lbs. weight class paced
the team the rest of the way.
Junior Alec McKenzie (4-1)
also recorded his first of three
pins on the day in the 189 lbs.
weight class, giving Duxbury
a convincing 54-21 win.
In the second round, Dux-
bury faced Plymouth North,
who came into the tourna-
ment with an impressive 18-6
record. Freshman Jake Ge-
nereux (112) gave Duxbury
the early momentum with the
first of his two pins on the day.
Senior captain Tim Donoghue
Sixth-grade girls win in double overtime
Duxbury’s sixth-grade
girls’ B team won a thrilling
19-18 double-OT decision
over Weymouth last weekend
in Old Colony BB league play
at the Immaculate Conception
Parish Center in Weymouth
Field goals by KC Williams
and Chloe Sweet kept Dux-
bury within striking distance
at 10-6 at halftime, allowing
them to rally in the second
half and tie the game at 14-14
at the end of regulation on bas-
kets by Sweet (2), Calista Tu-
fankjian, and Kyla Stevens.
The first OT session was
a defensive battle, as neither
team was able to score.
Williams was able to tie
the score in the second OT pe-
riod, but Weymouth regained
the lead and was ahead by
a bucket with time winding
up key victories were fresh-
men Nick Kates (103) Ge-
nereux (3-0), and Auer (135).
McGeady (160) also had a pin.
Unfortunately for Duxbury,
they did not have any answers
for Marshfield in three of the
four upper weights, and the top
seeded Rams escaped with an
exciting 39-31 victory.
After losing to Marsh-
field, the Dragons came out
flat against Whitman-Hanson
in their fourth and final match
of the day. Garnering pins for
Duxbury was Genereux (112)
and McKenzie (189), with
the Dragons only other points
coming from senior captain
Donoghue, who won by deci-
sion at 119 lbs. It wasn’t nearly
enough as the Panthers cruised
to a 45-15 third-place win.

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.
