It’s open election season

tested races for several impor-
tant seats.
Early on, several key fig-
ures announced that they
would not seek reelection in
the upcoming spring election.

Special needs adults bond in ‘Friendship Club’
By Justin Graeber, Clipper Editor
justin@duxburyclipper.com
Schools often offer ser-
vices and help for parents of
special needs children. But
what happens once those
children become special
needs adults?
“Once a special needs
child turns 22, state funding
is cut off,” said Elizabeth
Spradlin, who works with a
group of special needs adults
in Duxbury. “There’s a lot of
stress on the family.”

Morse finishes 15th in
Olympic moguls
Duxbury native, Mike
Morse, the 2008 U.S. Free-
style Skiing champion and a
member of the United State’s
Olympic team, finished 15th
in the freestyle moguls in
Vancouver on Sunday night.
Having started his day by
finishing 19th in the qualify-
ing rounds, Morse moved on
to the finals where he took on
the world’s best in the 20-man
competition won by Canada’s
Alexandre Bilodeau. Austra-
lia’s Dale Begg-Smith took
home silver, while Morse’s
teammate, Brian Wilson,
won the bronze.
State announces coastal water
pollution grant
Energy and Environ-
mental Affairs Secretary Ian
Bowles announced $336,000
in grants to help Massachu-
setts coastal communities im-
prove coastal water quality by
limiting polluted runoff from
roads and upgrading boat
waste pumpout facilities.
Recipients of this year’s
grants include the towns
of Brewster, Duxbury, Oak
Bluffs and Provincetown. Mu-
nicipalities may use the funds

to identify and treat stormwa-
ter pollution and reduce pol-

parking areas.
“These grants will help
communities do the important
work of protecting our coastal
waters from pollution,” Sec-
retary Bowles said. “Thanks
to these funds and the efforts
of these four communities,
“It was awe-inspiring,”
said Mike’s father, Dick
Morse, speaking to The Pa-
triot Ledger from Vancouver
after the qualifying round.
“It’s terrific. We’re incred-
ibly proud of him to be at this
world-class level.”
Morse scored a 23.38, a
full point out of 10th-place,
and 3.37 points behind Bilo-
deau.
The other United States
competitors, Patrick Deneen
and Nathan Roberts, skied
off course and did not receive
scores.

Friends go digital
Library booster group reaches out to the town
By Justin Graeber, Clipper Editor
justin@duxburyclipper.com
The Duxbury Free Library
serves the community in a host
of ways, including book lend-
ing, DVD loaning, and serving
as a community meeting place
for groups and activities. But


behind the scenes it takes a lot
of effort to keep the building
and programs running.
In addition to the staff
and volunteers who work at
the library, The Friends of the
Library help raise money and
awareness. The group was
founded in 1976 by Deborah
Bornheimer and today the
committee consists of 12 board
members. The group recently
launched a Web site, duxfol.
org and and ran a Valentine’s
Day-themed contest called
“What do you love about the
Duxbury Free Library?”
“We are the fundraising;
the awareness part of the li-
brary,” said Friends President
Sarah Keating.
Like many municipal de-
partments, libraries around
Massachusetts are feeling the
squeeze of budget cuts. Many
are in danger of losing their
certification –– which means
Earth-friendly
gardens
The Before and After
Dark program will present
a program on Earth-friendly
gardens on Tuesday, March
16. Please call the Before and
After Dark office for time,
location and cost of the pro-
gram.

The lecture will focus on
how to create and care for
beautiful gardens that are sus-

they can’t participate in cross-
library lending programs and
other benefits.
Certification involves a
number of things, including
staffing levels and spending,
said Keating. Libraries are
supposed to increase their bud-
get by 2.5 percent every year
(although a waiver can be ob-
tained from the state) and they
must spend a certain amount
on new materials. The materi-
als budget is a particular item
targeted by the Friends.
“Without that, the library
wouldn’t have its certifica-
tion,” said Katie Brill, the
Friends’ children’s liaison.
Brill said people around
town often take the library for
granted.
“I moved here three years
ago and I didn’t know about
the library,” she said.
They often fund children’s’
programs during the summer.
They give an average of
$20,000 a year to the Library,
Keating said. In 2009 alone, the
Friends contributed $14,000
for library materials such as

ZBA gets answers to Merry Village questions
continued from page one
the affordable housing lottery.
“He was never in the lot-
tery,” McCluskey said. “He
bought the [house] a year and
a half after the first sale.”
He was also upset with
mentions of the district attor-
ney’s involvement in issues
surrounding the development,
which ZBA Chairman Dennis
Murphy said was not true.
“This board has never re-
ferred anything beyond this
room,” Murphy said.
Murphy asked about the
unit being sold to McClus-
key’s family member when it
was specifically prohibited to
sell a unit to the family mem-
ber of anyone with a financial
interest in the project. While
McCluskey said he was paid
a flat fee, he said he had no
financial stake in the develop-
ment itself.
“I don’t have a financial
interest and I never have,”
McCluskey said.
Murphy pointed out that
McCluskey was paid over
$129,000 for his work on the
project, which McCluskey
said was for consultant work.
“Some might think that’s
a financial interest in the proj-
ect,” said Murphy, who said
he only brought the issue up
because a CPA looking over
the financials for the town had
raised the question.
The board also had ques-
tions about a relative of Cin-
cotta’s who purchased a home
in the development and appar-
ently sold it for a profit. Cin-
cotta said the family member
purchased the home for market
price but was given a credit of
$82,125 because the home was
unfinished, thus neutralizing
any profit made from the sale
of the home.
The board seemed satis-
fied with the explanation but
wondered why it took so long
to get an answer.
“We weren’t looking to
publish sensitive informa-
tion,” said Murphy. “All we
were looking to do was to get
to the bottom of this.”
“Mr. Cincotta has pro-
vided a perfectly reasonable

looked suspect,” added ZBA
member Michael Gill. “We’ve
been asking for that informa-
tion for eight months.”
Cincotta also said he was
flustered by a rumor that the
house given to his family
member was taken away from
someone else. That woman, he
said, was only initially granted
the house in the affordable
housing lottery due to an er-
ror (she owned property in an-
other town, which disqualified
her.)
“This information would
have been great to have eight
months ago,” said Gill.
“I certainly didn’t mean to
tarnish anyone’s reputation,”
said Murphy. “There was no ill
will intended, we only tried to
get to the bottom of things.”

DHS grad is living a life on the slopes

By Justin Graeber, Clipper Editor
justin@duxburyclipper.com

When Earle Pitt was grow-

ing up, his mother asked him
what he’d like to do with his
life. When he said he’d like to
ski, snowboard and play golf
all day, his mother scoffed.
“She said, ‘Keep dream-
ing pal,’” Pitt said. “Luckily
I fell into doing something I
love.”
Well, it looks like Pitt has
had the last laugh, because
now he’s living his dream as
the host of the travel show,
“The Mountain Report.”
The show, which airs lo-
cally on Comcast Sport Net-

in the resort experience at ski
areas across New England.

Enter the Friendship Club,
a group that meets bi-month-



ly in the Pilgrim Church on
Washington Street.
The Friendship Club is a
non-profit group that provides
a place for special needs adults
to meet with their peers. In ad-
dition to the Duxbury club,
there are groups in Quincy
and Norwell, and a teen group
in Scituate. There are about
85 members between all the
clubs. Most of the groups have
members older than 22 who
live at home, but the Scituate
club has members from ages
16-21.
“Everyone wants to be-
long to something,” said Deb-
bie Mastro, who has been the
director of the parent organi-
zation, the Friendship Home,
for 10 years.
A typical meeting of the
club lasts about four hours.
The members always cook a
meal together, and then have

held an ice cream social. They
also participate in community
service activities, and have
made cards for the council on
aging in the past.
One of the most impor-
tant aspects of a Friendship
Club meeting, Mastro said,
is “share time.” This is when
participants share a story, or
talk about something they’re
going through. Mastro said
at a recent meeting, several
members had just lost a fam-
ily member, and being with

Election season begins
continued from page one
lectman three years ago. He
has served on the Conserva-
tion Commission, and cur-
rently sits on the Duxbury Bay
Management Commission and
the Town Manager Budget
Working Group.
“This community has in-
spired every part of my life
—  its people, culture and re-
sources have shaped who I am
since I was a child,” Dahlen
said. “Being a member of the
Board of Selectmen offers
me a chance to give back to a
community that has given me
so much. [...] I want to help
guide our community through
future challenges successful-
ly. I want all residents to feel
town government is respectful
and responsible to the needs of
the residents.”
Dahlen said his knowledge
of the town and record of pub-
lic service have equipped him
to bring “balanced leadership
and good decision making” to
the board.
Will Zachmann of Standish
Street, who has also run for
the board before, has served
on the Planning Board and
the Economic Development
Committee. While he said he
believes the town is at an im-
portant juncture, the general
tone of recent town politics
was something that motivated
him to run.
“The last year has been an
unusually troublesome one,”
he said. “I think we need a
little more civility and a little
more calm, collected rea-
sonably mature attitude than
we’ve seen in town govern-
ment recently.”
He believes his financial
background would serve him
well on the board, as well as
his independent nature.
“In a small town like this,
it really is a matter of sensible
judgment and impartiality and
not having an ax to grind,”
Zachmann said.
James Taylor of Surplus
Street is also seeking the seat
on the Board of Selectmen.
Taylor, who has lived in Dux-
bury full-time since the late

’50s, said he knows the town
well and wants to encourage
discussion on the board, not
just argument.
“I’m running primarily be-
cause I think Duxbury needs
some attention, and no matter
how strong your engine is, you
need a good spark plug. I’ve
been that,” he said.
Taylor is a member of the
senior men’s group at the Dux-
bury Senior Center and volun-
teers his time to coordinate
multiple blood drives every
year.
There is also a crowded
field in the School Committee
race. Four people are seeking
the two seats vacated by Wong
and Cipoletti.
Christine McLaughlin of
Ryan’s Lane has been involved
with youth sports in Duxbury,
volunteers in the schools and
is on the Start Time Imple-
mentation Committee.
“I’m running to bring the
community and parents back
into the School Committee
process,” she said.
“Although it would be
silly and unnecessary to hold
a referendum on every little is-
sue, we can do better soliciting
parental opinion. The School
Committee should consider
the sentiment and voice of the
community. Open communi-
cation is key and should be
the foundation of the School
Committee.”
Colleen Brayer of Tobey
Garden Street is a Finance
Committee member who ran
for the school board three
years ago.
Brayer said she under-
stands the point of view of
parents put off by recent con-
troversies at the school, but
pointed out she’s worked with
the administration before (on
the high-end learner pilot pro-
gram) and feels she can be a
consensus builder.
“I’ve been in the shoes of
the people who are not happy.
I’ve felt that before [not being
listened to,]” she said. “I think
I can work with everybody on
the board, I’ve worked with
the administration [...] I think
I’m a team player.”

She said she’s looking for-

will have a choice at the ballot box on March 27
in several important races. Between now and the
election, we’ll hear from the candidates on a variety of issues.
But as one candidate said in this week’s election coverage,
Duxbury is at an important juncture. Here are a couple things
to watch as the Town Meeting and election season develops:

I
’m responding to Mr.
Cipolletti’s Duxbury
Clipper article “Can we
go from good to great”? Mr.
Cipolletti argues that a small
tax increase should be consid-
ered to pay for better schools.
Rather than imposing (or
limiting) a small tax increase,
why not offer Duxbury resi-
dents the option of paying
more taxes for schools? On
their tax assessment bill, Dux-
bury residents could be given
the option to pay an additional
$50, $100, $250 or an amount
they can “write in”. Extra
money collected would be ear-
marked for school use.
There’d be no individual
limit to the amount that could
be contributed, while being
sensitive to others who’s cir-
cumstances may limit their
contribution. I would argue
that this approach, in the long
run, would bring in more mon-
ey than an imposed but limited
small tax increase. Everyone
would contribute as much as
they could to support schools
going “from good to great.”

D
By Lamont “Monty” Healy
Clipper Contributor
id James M. Cain,
author of “Mildred
Pierce,” visit
Duxbury in the 1920s and
1930s?
I believe that he prob-
ÃÌ>ÌiÃ
ably did, and conceived
in his mind the characters
for his novel when he met
or heard about Mildred
A. “MA” Pierce. Cain,
after working for The
Baltimore Sun, moved to
New York in 1924, where
he wrote editorials for the
New York World, wrote
articles for The American
Mercury and briefly served
as managing editor of The
New Yorker. He left New York
for Hollywood in 1931 to be-
come a screenwriter at $400 a
week – too good to pass up.
During Cain’s time in New
York. Mildred Pierce ran her
restaurant in Duxbury from
1924 to 1929 next to the Swee-
tser’s building in Snug Harbor.
In 1929 she moved her busi-
ness to the current location of
the Milepost Restaurant and
Tavern at Tremont and Chest-
nut Streets, where she stayed
until she sold it in 1946. In the
1920s and early 1930s, Dux-
bury was a desired location
for actors, actresses, writers,
and celebrities of all types.
Cain was a notorious drinker
and womanizer, and this was
the era of prohibition, so you
couldn’t make liquor, sell it or
transport it, but you could drink
it in a private setting. Mildred
A.’s daughter, Nina, recalled
that guests from New York
would come annually and sit
Duxbury’s “MA” Pierce ran a
restaurant in town in the ‘20s
and, this author believes, served
as the inspiration for James M.
Cain’s novel “Mildred Pierce.”
around Mildred’s kitchen,
swapping stories. I can imag-
ine Cain right there with a pint
in his back pocket, looking for
ideas. It is also worthy of note
that his third and fourth wives
were an actress, and an opera
singer. Cain’s second wife,
self described as the great love
of his life, was Elina Sjosted
Tyszecka. Is there a Massa-
chusetts or Duxbury connec-
tion there? All three of his
best-selling novels were writ-
ten while he was married to
her, from 1927 to 1942.
Another way that Cain
may have heard about Mil-
dred’s story is when he went
hang around the Paramount
Commissary and talk to other
screenwriters. According
to Cain’s biographer Cain
got the idea for “Mildred
Pierce” from a screen-
writer friend who sug-
gested there was “one
story that never fails,
the woman
who uses
men to
gain her
ends.” Al-
though this
describes
Mildred, it
is a little too
general for me.
Cain wrote “The
Postman Always
Rings Twice” in
1934, the first
of the big com-
mercial books in
American publishing
history. “Postman,” wrote Roy
Hoopes, was “what might be
called the grand slam of the
book trade: a hard-cover best-
seller, paperback best-seller,
syndication, play and movie.”
He also wrote “Double Indem-
nity” in 1936. These two stories
Cain derived from the 1927-
1928 trial of “Tiger Woman”
Ruth Snyder, and her lover
Judd Gray, for the murder of
her husband, Albert. It seems
that Ruth purchased personal
injury insurance on her hus-
band and “double indemnity”
in the event of his death. She
instructed the postman to de-
liver payment coupons only to
her, ringing the doorbell twice
as a signal. So, two of his best-
selling books were suggested
not the third? Although we do
not, as yet, know his specific
locations, Mildred’s husband, A federally licensed tax professional
Charles W. Pierce, moved to
Tax & Bookkeeping
California. Could he have met
up with Cain? Services

Lady Dragons falter at end, but...
Win share of league title after Sandwich loses to Whitman-Hanson/Pembroke
By Mike Halloran, Sports Editor
sports@duxburyclipper.com
The Duxbury girls’ hockey
team was on the verge of cap-
turing the SEMGHL title with
two games to go in the regular
season, then watched their bid
for an outright championship
go down the tubes in a 2-1 loss

realize that despite their domi-

putting the puck in the net was
the only thing that mattered.
Playing a scoreless tie
through two periods, the Lady
Dragons finally put one on the
scoreboard when Briana Con-
nolly broke the tie in the first
minute of the third period.
Duxbury would hold onto
its precarious lead for most of
the period until there was less
than seven minutes to go in
the game. Falmouth would tie
it at 1-1, and Shalyn Callahan
would score the game-winner
on a break-away with 3:17 to
go.
It was a damaging loss for
the Lady Dragons, who now
needed a win over Sandwich
to share the league title.

Having qualified for post-
season play with a 64-45 win
over North Quincy two nights
earlier, Coach Mark Dunn’s
girls were all smiles in the
pre-game warm-ups, knowing
they had accomplished a goal
that few thought was possible.
It was also senior night for

had the stage to herself in the
pre-game ceremonies, as she is
the only senior on the squad.

By Wendy Genereux,
Eight wrestlers head to states
Clipper Contributor
The Duxbury wrestling
team may not have crowned a
champion at Saturday’s Divi-
sion II South Sectionals held at
North Attleboro High School,
but there certainly were some
surprises for the Dragons.
One of those surprises was
sophomore Mikkel Linskey,
who pinned his way to the
finals in the 130 lbs. weight
class. After pinning Milton’s
Ryan Madden in the first
round, Linskey upset the #2
seed in Nauset’s Jarrod Olson
with a third- period pin. That
set up a rematch with Silver
Lake sophomore Dominic
Vito, who Linskey had pinned
in a recent Patriot League
match. Linskey’s single-leg
takedown was working, and
he quickly earned a first-peri-
od takedown. Working off his
new-found confidence from
Junior Pat Donovan led the team in takedowns this season.  The
football and lacrosse player showed his athleticism on the mat in
the 140 lb. weight class, finishing fourth at Sectionals.
his previous match, Linskey
recorded his third pin of the
day, giving him a spot in the
finals against the #1 seeded
Mike MacNeil of Marshfield.
This time Linskey met his
match, having lost to MacNeil
at the team Sectionals last
week. MacNeil jumped out
to a quick lead, and extended
it to 12-5 in the third period.
However, the never-say-die
Linskey closed the gap to 12-7
with a set of back points. With
the Duxbury faithful on its
feet, Linskey turned the Ram
grappler again, and appeared
to have the pin and the win,
but he did not get the call. The
near fall was not enough, as
MacNeil hung on to win a 12-
Freshman Jake Genereux was a force in and around the league in the 112 lb weight class, registering
22 wins against 5 losses in the regular season, while also being named a Patriot League All-Star.
10 decision and the champion-
ship.
Another surprise for Dux-
bury was senior captain Rob-
ert Kates, who has battled
injuries all season in the 125
lbs. weight class. The senior
captain won a close 3-0 deci-
sion over Nauset’s Joey Bat-
tista in the quarterfinals, only
to face the #2 seed in W-H’s
Colin McSweeney in the semi
finals. Kates had seemingly hit
a roadblock, having lost twice
by pin at the hands of the tal-
ented Panther grappler. How-
ever, Kates was determined to
put the past behind him, be-
lieving that the third time is in-
deed the charm. Kates got the
first takedown, and mounted
a 6-2 lead before McSweeney
was called for unsportsman-
like conduct, giving the Dux-
bury captain two more points
en route to a 14-8 upset win.
Kates lost 5-2 in the finals to
North Attleboro’s Joe Krzyzek
to take second.
Senior captain Tim Dono-
ghue went into the Sectionals
as a two-time champion in the
103 lbs. weight class, but this
time he was hoping for the
same result at 119 lbs. The #1
seeded Donoghue barely broke
a sweat on his way to the finals,
winning by technical fall over
Nauset’s Peter Botford, and by
a 26-second pin over Oliver
Ames junior Max Jacobs in the
semi finals. That set up a rubber
match between Donoghue and
Sandwich senior captain Sam
Cordeiro in the finals. Dono-
ghue got the first takedown,
but Cordeiro tied the match up
with a reversal. Neither wres-
