Tarkiln School gets a facelift

T
hrough donated hours and equipment, the former
Tarkiln School on Route 53 got a new coat of paint
and the inside was cleaned out. A slimmed-down plan
to restore the building heads to Town Meeting in March.

The scale goes back years when a farmer’s market, at Tarkiln, raised
thousands of dollars each summer for the building.

Duxbury is for animal-loversJerry the Parrot

perches on the head
of Steven DiRamio.
Jerry made a daring
escape from his own-
ers, Rocco and Colleen
Longo of Lantern Lane,
and crashed a wed-
ding shower at the
DiRamio's home on
Woodland Way. He
entertained guests
and even sipped a few
cocktails before con-
tinuing his adventure
to Marshfield.

Cal, an Australian shepherd, makes a weekly visit to the Alden School. He has been a popular
visitor for Alden School fourth-graders and Pilgrim Area Collaborative students taking part in
the Book Buddies program.
Phinneaus, a Cairn Terrier
from Stetson Place, gave his
owners a scare this summer
when he was trapped in rising
tides in the Back River. Here
he dries off after his watery
adventure. He was rescued
with the help of two associ-
ate harbormasters, Ryan
Kauffman and Justin McNiff.
TOWEL DRY: Emily Murray of the 4-H Poultry Club talks to her
hen as she dries her off before traveling to the Marshfield Fair
in August.

"Farmer Minor" reads “Hello,

Piglet” to Daisy the pig along with
the children at the library. “Hello,
Piglet” was the first book the
Minors read to Daisy when she was
just a baby.

CANINE START: The students at Learn in Play Preschool on High Street were
treated to a special visit from Boston’s most famous dog when Catie Copley
came to play in March. Tess Driscoll, Melanie Day and Sydney Driscoll snug-
gle with the canine star.

T
he Duxbury Rural
and Historical So-
ciety coordinated
an archeological dig at the
suspected site of the town's
Second Meetinghouse on
Chestnut Street this October.
The dig attracted scores of
dedicated history buffs and
volunteer diggers, and led to
some amazing historical dis-
coveries including the foun-
dation of the meetinghouse.

Carole McCarthy holds up a piece of pipe she discovered while sift-

ing through soil in her test area.

The volunteers of the Second Meetinghouse dig pose for a photo on the project's last day before filling
in the holes created by the excavation. The dig found a host of artifacts as well as the foundation of
Duxbury’s Second Meetinghouse.

Jessica Smith and daughters Vicky and Abby sort through dirt taken
from a “test trench” at the Second Meetinghouse site.

Gary Paul and his daughters Sidney and Jordan get a hands-on lesson in archeology, carefully digging
through layers of soil with a trowel while checking for Pilgrim or Native American artifacts.

Bryce Grey, Sue Phinney, Bobby Phinney and Hugh Grey carefully excavate an area of soil at the dig site.

Thank you Duxbury

for a wonderful first year.
It has been a pleasure
caring for your pets!
Steve and I have owned and operated Cohasset Kennel since 2003 and continue to enjoy our guests and their families. We are thrilled to have added
Duxbury Kennel In The Pines as our second location. This gorgeous five acre property is the perfect setting for your pet to “come out to the country.”
Previously operated as Beresford Kennel by the now retired Ziko family, we have added many upgrades including three large fenced playfields, central
air conditioning and a security and environmental monitoring system. The playfields overlook the neighboring horse farm and the walking path winds
through the beautiful pine forest which backs up to conservation land. We have a cozy separate cat cottage for our feline friends which is shared by our
on-site resident manager. The cottage is complete with a climbing tower for individual play daily for each of our visiting kitties.
We have worked closely with the area veterinarians who are familiar with our high standards of care and are confident referring their clients to us. At
Duxbury Kennel In The Pines we pay close attention to each pet’s special needs and ensure that all pets are safe, well fed and happy during their visit.
Beyond our standard exceptional care, we take pride in the fact that we are known for our ability to cater to the senior pet as well as those with special
needs such as prescription diets, medications or mobility issues.

DRACO’S DEN: Den 3 of Pack 1776 enjoyed a fun and informative after-

noon with Draco and his designer, Chuck Nudd on March 14. The theme
of the month was recycling. The cub scouts learned that Draco took five
weeks to build, using bulldozer tracks for his body, teeth from a digger’s
bucket as his feet, and an air compressor for his head with a rake for his
teeth. And needless to say, Draco can hold up to 12 cub scouts.
