Bus headache
Schools continuing to work out
the kinks from start time change
By Justin Graeber, Clipper Editor
justin@duxburyclipper.com
Even though the vote to
change the school start times
was several months ago, the
issue is still causing tension
in the community and on the
School Committee itself.
The latest bone of conten-
tion since the School Com-
mittee voted in February to,
in essence, flip the start times
of the high school and middle
school with Alden Elementary
has been the buses.
Superintendent of School
Susan Skeiber said the district
did have a problem with chil-
dren being picked up before 7
a.m. –– something school of-
ficials promised wouldn’t hap-
pen when the time change was
first implemented.

he tag line for the Africa
Rally is “fighting to make
the world less boring.”
That just about sums up the extreme
rally race, which takes participants
from Europe to Africa in a vehicle
that wouldn’t get you past the first
crossover on Duxbury Beach.
Ryan Nishimoto of Keene Street
found out about the Africa Rally
through a Web community called
The Adventurists. The race takes
participants from England, across
mainland Europe, and then into Af-
rica via Morocco, finally ending in Keene Street resident Ryan Nishimoto has always loved trav-

“We very quickly rectified
that,” Skeiber said, adding that
they’ve since received notifi-
cation from the bus company
that the problem is solved.
She said the problem has
been traffic, saying that the
worst congestion is around
8-8:15, which is the new start
time for the older students.
Skeiber said that the dis-
trict has reached out to the
police department to discuss
possible solutions.
Committee member John
Heinstadt asked what could
be causing additional traffic.
Skeiber said there isn’t an easy
answer, although more parents
and students could be driv-

Budget, communication high
on superintendent’s agenda
By Justin Graeber, Clipper Editor
justin@duxburyclipper.com
Superintendent of School
Susan Skeiber wants to focus
on the budget, 21st century
skills and communication in
the coming year, according to
a summary of her goals pre-
sented at the last School Com-
mittee meeting,
Skeiber said that her bud-
get goal is to keep the district
moving in a positive direction
despite the tough times.
“I think in these economic
times, that is a significantly
important part of my job,” she
said.
Specifically, Skeiber has
been asked by the town man-
ager to prepare two budgets,
one at “level service,” mean-
ing that no new programs or
staff will be added but fixed
costs like utilities and health
insurance will be accounted
for. The second budget will be
a 3 percent cut from last year’s
figures.
“I see this as dismantling
some things,” she said of the
cuts.
Committee Chairman
George Cipolletti asked if
Skeiber could prepare a menu-
style presentation of any po-
tential budget reductions, sim-
ilar to what she did last year.
In addition to the bud-
get difficulties looming next
year, Skeiber warned that the
governor is considering using
his 9C powers, meaning that
he would make cuts from this
year’s (fiscal year 2010) bud-
get rather than next year’s (fis-
cal year 2011.)
Maureen Connolly asked if
any creative ideas to increase
revenue were being consid-
ered.
Skeiber said the commit-
tees of the past have shied
away from things like selling
advertising space, but desper-
ate times may call for desper-

ate measures.
“It may be a new day and
new time,” she said.
Skeiber said that as she
builds the budget, she will
keep the district’s priorities in
mind –– things like technology
and 21st century skills –– and
things that are important to the
community, like class size.
“The most important thing
that happens in education is in
the classroom,” she said.
The second goal on the
list is a focus on 21st century
skills.
Different school officials
have different definitions of
21st century skills but a memo
from Massachusetts Depart-
ment of Education Commis-
sioner Mitchell Chester de-
scribed them this way:
“To me it means the ap-
plication of academic content
knowledge ... and skills need-
ed to communicate effectively
and persuasively, develop so-
lutions to real world problems,
and work productively by man-
aging time and resources and
collaborating with others.”
Skeiber said technology
can be “the tool that gets you
there.”
“All of these students are
going to need these [skills] as
they move on into this rapidly
changing world,” she said.
Some School Commit-
tee members asked if the 21st
century skills movement was a
pushback from the educational
community against standard-
ized testing.
“I do think that there are
other skills that we aren’t test-
ing for,” Skeiber said. “We’re
marching to that drummer
and there are other things kids

do that,” he said.

6 Duxbury Clipper
A race for a good cause
continued from page one
The idea of a an extreme
cross continent race appealed
to Nishimoto, who did a se-
mester abroad as well as a se-
mester at sea in college.
“I’ve always loved travel-
ing,” he said. “It was the right
time, right place.”
But the Africa Rally isn’t
a normal vacation. A require-
ment of the race is that the
teams (Nishimoto is trekking
with a friend from his home-
town of Chicago) have to use
a car with an engine no larger
than 1 liter – comparable to a
small sedan like a Honda Civ-
ic, a car more suited to cruis-
ing the urban jungle than off-
roading in the Sahara.
“It’s basically a lawn
mower,” Nishimoto said.
“These are little tiny biscuits
of cars.”
Teams can bring a big-
ger engine if they raise more
money –– the entrance fee is
1,000 English pounds –– but
Nishimoto and his friend are
sticking to the more challeng-
ing route.
“I’ve never done anything
like this before,” he said. “The
amount of misadventures and
stories we’ll be able to accu-
mulate while helping people
––I can’t imagine anything
better.”
The race, however, isn’t
just about adventure. The en-
try fee goes to a charity ––
Nishimoto has chosen “Send
a Cow,” which supports sus-
tainable farming in Africa and
any additional money raised
can go to a charity of the rac-
ers’ choosing. Nishimoto and
his friend are aiming to raise
5,000 pounds before the race
starts, and he will donate some
of the excess to Crossroads for
Kids, where he’s worked as
Teen Program Director since

The School Committee met in a new arrangement on Wednesday, following up on a suggestion from a
consultant that they meet in more of a roundtable pattern. The new seating chart didn’t seem to make
much of a difference, however, as the issue of the start time change still provoked harsh words toward
the end of the meeting.
Buses a concern at schools
continued from page one
bus fees. She said the issue is
likely not the volume of traf-
fic, but the timing.
“I’ve been in it and I don’t
see it as any worse than it was
last year,” Skeiber said.
School Committee Chair-
man George Cipolletti said
that he’s talked to a few high
school students, who told him
the traffic’s no worse than it’s
been in the past.
Business Administrator
Susan Nauman said there are
currently about 100 less rid-
ers, compared to last year.
She said, however, that those
numbers could be skewed be-
cause officials don’t aggres-
sively check the buses for
ride tickets over the first few
weeks –– and once they do,
more students may come into
the office to get their passes.
Skeiber said one of the
things causing problems
could be a five-six min-
ute delay as the buses leave
the middle school and high
school.
“That’s a significant piece
for us,” she said.
She said the bus compa-
ny is working on redoing the
route, but it’s not quite com-
plete.
“It’s close,” she said.
Skeiber said when she
was principal of Alden, stu-
dents would often be wait-
ing in their buses for up to 15
minutes. Now, the students
file into the Performing Arts
Center.
“That’s certainly a much
more enjoyable atmosphere
to be in,” she said, adding that
students are only in the PAC
for less than 10 minutes.
Other students come into
the corridor and wait for
about the same amount of
time.
“That piece of it is very
much the same as it’s always
been done,” Skeiber said.
School Committee mem-
ber Maureen Connolly said
she was concerned about the
trouble with the buses at both
the beginning and the end of
the school day.
“I really think it’s unac-
ceptable that we’re providing
transportation for these stu-
dents and they’re still late,”
Connolly said.
Skeiber said that’s just
what officials are working
toward.
“I don’t disagree with
you,” she said. “We want to
adjust those buses so they’re
all in here on time ... My con-
cern is your concern.”
Cipolletti said that even
if traffic has always been a
Start time surveys
spark harsh words
By Justin Graeber, Clipper Editor
justin@duxburyclipper.com
The issue of student sur-
veys, meant to establish a
baseline of data on the start
time change, has been a bone
of contention among School
Committee members.
When the committee re-
viewed a legal document at
the most recent meeting about
the school district’s agree-
ment with Boston University,
committee member Maureen
Connolly was unhappy that it
did not contain language spe-
cifically barring survey data
from being shared with out-
side researchers.
“I’m not seeing what we
asked – I don’t see that in
here,” she said.
Superintendent Susan
Skeiber said that she dis-
cussed the issue with the
school’s lawyer. Because the
survey’s were done anony-
mously, and the survey was
voluntary, there’s no liability
issue. In addition, the most
information that would ever
be used outside the district
is a few lines in an abstract
by a doctoral student. Even
if those few lines are used,
Duxbury would not be iden-
tified, the school will be re-
ferred to as “a New England
elementary school” only.
“I don’t have any reason
to doubt her,” said School
Committee Chairman George
Cipolletti.
The legal opinion did not
satisfy Connolly.
“It’s legal, but is it ethi-

When Connolly contin-

Karen Wong grew visibly
frustrated.
“Is there nothing that can

Wong said. “The superin-

New law threatens thrift shop
O
By Lydia Hart, Special to the Clipper
n Tuesday, Sept.
28, consignors
and shoppers were
greeted with an unusual sight
as they entered the shop –– cau-
tion tape across the clothes.
The day before, 14 shop
volunteers gathered for a semi-
nar presented by a representa-
tive of the Consumer Product
Safety Commission who spoke
about the Consumer Product
Safety Improvement Act and
offered suggestions on how to
Thrift shop news
live with this new law. It was
passed by Congress and signed
into law by President Bush in
reaction to massive children’s
product recalls during the 2007
holiday season. Though the
CPSIA became law on Aug.14,
2008, most of it took effect on
Feb. 10, 2009. It requires that
all children’s products (includ-
ing clothing, bedding, cribs,
toys, books and furniture) be
tested for lead levels.
The CPSC issued a press
release in January that said:
“The new safety law does not
require resellers to test chil-
dren’s products in inventory for
compliance with the lead limit
before they are sold. However,
resellers cannot sell children’s
products that exceed the lead
limit and therefore should
avoid products that are likely to
have lead content, unless they
have testing or other informa-
tion to indicate the products
being sold have less than the
new limit. Those resellers that
do sell products in violation of
the new limits could face civil
and/or criminal penalties.” The
CPSC and each state’s attorney
general are empowered to en-
force the law.
This law poses a threat to
resale and thrift shops across
the U.S. because, unlike many
consumer laws, the CPSIA
does not exempt any products
manufactured prior to the date
of legislation. The ripple effect
is becoming enormous. Natural
toys, clothes, shoes, bicycles,
telescopes, books, etc. are all
in question, and not only are
resale and thrift shops affect-
ed, so are eBay and Craigslist
sellers, cottage industries, yard
sales – you get the idea. The
standards were originally in-
terpreted to apply only to new
products, but now the CPSC
says they apply to used items
as well.
What does all this mean
for the Duxbury Thrift Shop?
The CPSIA will have a direct
impact on what we are able to
sell at the shop. After moving
into our new location last Janu-
ary, our Board became aware
of the enormity of trying to
make sense of these seemingly
endless restrictions. We joined
NARTS (National Association
of Resale and Thrift Shops)
because it is at the forefront of
the fight to reform the CPSIA.
It has been working closely
with the CPSC and is helping
its members stay abreast of
current recalls. Ignorance of
the law is no excuse. One fine
for our shop could put us out of
business entirely, affecting not
only our volunteers, consign-
ors and customers, but those
DHS graduates who benefit
every year from the proceeds
of our scholarship fund.
After the seminar on Sept.
28, I was able to speak directly
with our CPSC rep’s supervi-
sor in Washington, D.C., so
we now have a somewhat bet-
ter understanding of what we
need to look for when taking
in children’s clothing, toys
and books. For the first three
days, until we had a chance to
thoroughly go through what
we now have in inventory,
we put a hold on taking in or
selling any children’s items.
The scope of this legislation is
not something that can be im-
mediately understood and as-
similated. It still will take us
some time to “digest” all this
new information. We are try-
ing to develop some guidelines
that will be helpful to our cus-
tomers and our volunteers. We
want to make sure you have the
right information to assist you
in making good choices when
you bring children’s items in
for consignment.
Please bear with the vol-
unteers at the shop, this is a
learning experience for us all.
If you are bringing in children’s
clothes, be aware that looking
over them takes a bit longer
now than any other clothing. I
hope those of you who bring in
non-children’s clothes will un-
derstand and be patient. We are
thinking of ways to iron out the
kinks, and will keep you post-
ed. For now, however, we will
no long take for consignment
children’s toys, metal jewelry,
furniture and stuffed animals.
(Those stuffed animals which
already bedeck our shelves are
there for decorative purposes
only, and are not for sale.) The
limit on children’s books is
tough to decipher but, for now,

The search for the next
police chief, she said, should
involved an assessment of the
department as a whole to see if
any changes should be made,
and what those would be.
“Then we should get a
chief in place that is going to
allow us to move forward,”
she said.
She did say, however, that
the decision is MacDonald’s
to make, although a member
of the Board of Selectmen has
been part of past search com-
mittees.
“This is his position to re-
cruit and hire, not the select-
men,” she said.
Sullivan she could not
comment at length, wanting to
respect what was discussed in
executive session even though
some information had leaked
out of the closed-door session
last week when a Comcast em-
ployee left a microphone on.
On live cable access, select-
men were heard discussing a
$240,000 buyout of DeLuca’s
contact, which ends Nov. 20.
Troy has since said that num-
ber is too high. The buyout
would reportedly be a combi-
nation of back vacation pay,
outlined in DeLuca’s contract,
and a combination of other
factors such as his years of
service, and legal waivers he
is expected to sign.
Sullivan said the town is in
uncharted waters and has nev-
er dealt with a similar issue.
“We’re trying to do the
best we can with an unfamiliar
situation,” she said.
The issue of the contract
has been a bone of contention
since DeLuca was told on June
4 that his contract would not
be renewed. DeLuca has been

years, before that he was a ser-

calls seeking comment.
MacDonald, under the
Town Manager Act, has sole
appointing authority over de-
partment heads. However, se-
lectmen Christopher Donato
has been vocal in his support
of DeLuca, saying last week
that the town is “talking about
removing the wrong person”
and even making a motion to
fire MacDonald, which did not
get a second. Donato did not

comment.
On Tuesday, Oct. 6, Town

the Duxbury Police as interim
police chief. Chubb was out of

and unavailable for comment.
However, DeLuca was re-

this, McAuliffe would only
say, “I have no idea, I’m not

vania called Nyaradszereda,
now part of Romania.
TEACHERRATIO
It has been nine years since
the Duxbury congregation
reached out over thousands of
miles to help a fellow church
whose origins are in the mid
sixteenth century. During the
intervening hundreds of years,

these ethnic Hungarians were
violently suppressed, and un-
til the end of the Communist
dictatorship of Nicolae Ceaus-
escu, were treated as second-
class citizens. It is only since
Romania’s admission into the
European Union that things
have been slowly improving
for our partners in Transylva-
nia.
As the two churches’ rela-
tionship has grown, reciprocal
visits have been made, first by
several of Duxbury’s parish-
ioners to Nyaradszereda, and
then by the partner church’s
minister and his wife to Dux-
bury. They have become, in a
sense, a part of the Duxbury
church family. What is more,
those from the Duxbury church
who did travel to such a remote
area of Eastern Europe brought
back such moving and inspir-
ing stories, that First Parish be-
came even more committed to
helping this small, brave, but
poor congregation.
Earlier this year, Reverend
Szilard Sandor visited First
Parish Church for the second
time. He brought with him
photographs of the new church
that his congregation is in the
midst of building. His dyna-
mism and enthusiasm was
contagious, and the result is a
renewed commitment on First
Parish’s part to help in every
way possible. One American
dollar goes a very long way in
Transylvania.

A $240,000 mistake – so far ——————— Don’t redefine contract law —
S A
electman Chris Do-
nato’s public state-
ments about the
non-renewal of Police Chief
DeLuca’s contract were unbe-
coming of an elected official
who took an oath of office to
uphold our town bylaws which
include the Town Manager Act.
If someone has violated the
Act, could it be Mr. Donato?
Donato’s many public state-
ments that the non-renewal was
really a termination or a firing
helped make a legal case for
DeLuca’s attorney. Suddenly
we hear that allegations about
the chief have been made un-
der oath. Could it be that Mr.
MacDonald is doing “the right
thing” as Mr. Donato so often
professes to be doing? The tax-
payers will bear the brunt to
the tune of nearly a quarter of a
million dollars. The selectmen’s
conundrum was either settle or
put the town through a lengthy
and more costly legal battle on
the non-renewal. One can argue
which route was less expensive
but this didn’t have to happen.
According to the Clipper, Mr.
Donato is upset that the town
doesn’t have sufficient funds
to settle union negotiations. He
will attempt to blame Mr. Mac-

Greg Sheppard, Dallas Smith,
Phil Esposito, and of course
Bobby Orr, at the local water-
ing hole called The Branding
Iron. When a Bruin showed up
there, they were not given spe-
cial treatment but were greeted
with jeers and comments like
“Why did ya let that guy hit ya

Donald but the truth is that his
behavior just cost the town and
the taxpayers $240,000!
Ordinarily, Donato’s be-
havior might be written off as
naïve but the man is an attorney
and knew exactly what his be-
havior meant in building a case
for the chief. Now he claims
the chief was not the only em-
ployee to be “mistreated.” Un-
less he is around Duxbury 24/7,
how can he know who is being”
mistreated” or simply managed
by the town manager. Does this
mean we can expect more of
the same with Mr. Donato and
other town employees? Let’s
hope not. A quarter of million
dollars is enough. Apparently
Mr. Donato doesn’t understand
that he is management not labor

broken leg hanging in the air.
They brought him to the bar,
gave him a beer, and then told
everyone to ignore him. Soon
the place was swarming with
nurses and the security guards
from the hospital got into a
heap of trouble.
Grandpa Jack talked about
how, when they were kids,
they were really great at hop-
ping fences because of running
from the cops. “We weren’t
bad kids, though,” he told my
boys. For this reason they be-
came skilled at never having to

as a selectman and “doing the
right thing” is representing the
taxpayers and not disgruntled
employees.
These are difficult financial
times and Richard MacDonald
has had to make many tough
decisions about Duxbury’s abil-
ity to pay for all of its services.
When management makes those
difficult choices, sometimes
employees are upset. So be it.
That is precisely why we have
a town manager. Town employ-
ees require hands on daily man-
agement not back bench name
calling by part time elected
officials. Apparently previous
boards of selectmen have seen
fit to retain Mr. MacDonald
based on his performance and
the current board has two out of
three elected officials that feel
the same way. Mr. Donato feels
differently based on less than
a year of experience in town
office. That is his right. Let’s
hope for the town’s sake, that
there will always be two select-
men to oppose him. Personally
I can’t wait until Donato comes
up for re-election so the voters
can “do the right thing.”

wall being built so he and his
buddy decided to try to hop it.
It was ten feet tall and Grandpa
Jack made it to the top, but his
buddy, who happened to be

himself, couldn’t seem to make
it. Eventually, Grandpa Jack
got a hold of his hand and they
both almost toppled back down.
Just then, they saw the police-

they were in big trouble, but
to their surprise, the policeman

s I follow the con-
versations and ar-
ticles pertaining to
the police chief, town manager
and selectmen, one can’t help
but feel disillusioned. I have no
particular allegiance to the town
manager or police chief, and
value the services performed
by both parties. Through the
democratic process over hun-
dreds of years, countless vol-
unteers sacrificed and invested
thousands of hours to establish
our current form of local gov-
ernment with laws and guide-
lines to make the town of Dux-
bury one of the most desirable
communities in Massachusetts.
Through the selectmen’s office,
the town manager is empow-
ered with specific responsibili-
ties including the authority to
renew or end specific employ-
ment agreements. These em-
ployment contracts were ap-
proved by outside counsel and
included expiration language
which means just that; the em-
ployment arrangement is over
unless it’s renewed. Now we

in an ongoing controversy be-
cause our newest selectman
seeks to redefine contract law
and circumvent a democratic
process through backroom pol-
itics with a demeaning tone that
is divisive and destructive to
the culture Duxbury residents
value. You don’t have to drive
far to observe those commu-
nities that lost their desirabil-
ity through poor leadership. It
starts slowly and works its way
through every town fiber in the
form of apathy, marginal hires
and wasted economic resourc-
es. Then it takes years and sac-
rifice to reverse that irreparable
culture. So far Duxbury hasn’t
adopted “Beltway politics” as
the process for change versus
our democratic right to sub-
mit Town Meeting articles. I
hope more residents will come
forward to say “no more” and
support the office of town man-
ager.

Where to go this fall Harvest Moon Halloween Fun at the Library

evening’s soloist, mezzo-soprano Beth MacLeod, a little closer
to the event. Meanwhile, mark your calendars. The Phil only
comes to Duxbury once a year. Before too long, José Mateo’s
Ballet Theatre will bring Tchaikovsky’s “The Nutcracker” back
to town for five shows, Christmas Eve through Sunday, Dec.
27. If any Duxbury children are cast in the Boston Ballet’s
production, I’ll write about them, too.
Figure Skating season is well underway, and I’ll be
cranking up my Duxbury connections as far as they’ll take me.
You can rest assured, when the 2010 Olympic Winter Games
open in Vancouver, B.C. on Feb. 12, I’ll make it seem like I’m
there. If I’m lucky, I’ll make it to the Blue Hills to ski, or I’ll
do a little cranberry bog skating, but in my imagination I’ll be
joining the stars in the Canadian Rockies. Mind you, there’s
a passel of Duxbury kids skiing and skating up a storm right
around here. This year I’ll include the synchronized skaters,
and a better look at the high school’s ski team.
Meanwhile, here come the holidays. There’s no getting
around it, the winter cycle of Halloween, Thanksgiving, and
Christmas dwarf other holidays in this country so soundly that
other cultures either join in, or become invisible. I’m not going
to change that. I love what I’ve learned about other faiths (and
my own), and sometimes I’m moved to tears by them, but
nothing consumes me like Christmas. I haven’t outgrown it. In
fact, the fatter I get, the more I love Santa Claus.
But there’s time enough for Santa. I’ll get through autumn
first, and the little candy extortion ring growing in my own
family. Halloween has gotten quiet in my neighborhood in
recent years, but I have a feeling a new surge of giggling
banditry is just around the corner. Mine aren’t the only kids
beginning to have kids of their own. In a week or two we
should have peak color around here, and piling leaves for little
monsters to hide in, or at least shuffle through on the way to
their next target.
When I was a boy, the sight of a wild turkey was only a
daydream, the stuff of articles in hunting magazines. Now I see
them lifting into the trees in my own back yard, so plentiful
they are nearly a nuisance, but a proud and beautiful nuisance.
Once in a while I hear them gobble in the neighbor’s yard. It’s
a wonderful word – gobble – like goblins, the little monsters
soon to overspread the neighborhood. The sound of a turkey,
and the sound of eating a turkey – another event “just around
the corner.” Sometimes the yearly cycles make some net
progress. The world is full of turkeys and a little greener now,
even if some other cycles (like carbons) threaten to flush us all
down the drain.
Welcome to the holiday season! God willing, we’ll learn
and share a little more this year, feel a little deeper, grow a

Rounds of 37 by Peter Ca-

and Jack Reardon (3 birdies/2

prising win, while Billy Cur-
ley (38/7 pars) and Bobby
O’Brien (39/3 birdies/2 pars)
were the top scorers for Dux-
bury.
Chris MacRae (39/6 pars),
Kevin Gately (40/a bird/4

erbee (41/5 pars) rounded out
the Pembroke scoring, while
Jonathan Stoddard (40/6 pars),
James Magner (42/4 pars),
Stephan Krall (43/3 pars), and
Nick Drago (44/5 pars) scored
for Duxbury.
The Dragons recovered
in time to beat Silver Lake on
Wednesday, 249-262, raising
their record to 11-2.
Despite a medal round of
39 by the Laker’s Pat Ford,
rounds of 40 by Curley (5

Kevin Kuckuk (5 pars) paced
the Duxbury win. O’Brien
(42/a bird/4 pars), Krall (43/2

(44/3 pars) also contributed to
the victory.
The week ended with a
21-stroke win over Scituate
(234-255) at the DYC course
on Thursday.
After a trio of matches this
week, the Dragons will end
their regular season schedule
with tough matches against
Sandwich, BC High, and
Barnstable, as they get ready
for postseason play.

Dragons shut out Pembroke
sports@duxburyclipper.com
They took on a couple of
the best teams on the South
Shore to start the season, and
then faced some of the weak-
er teams the following three
weeks. Having now faced a
range of competition during
its so-called exhibition season,
the Dragons are set to start
their run for a league title and
playoff berth after shutting out
Pembroke on Friday night,
28-0.
Football
Duxbury 28
Pembroke 0
Facing the Titans was ex-
pected to be one of the easier
assignments on the Duxbury
schedule, but when facing a
Bob Bancroft coached team,
you know you are in for a
battle.
The best way to prevent
an upset is to jump on an op-
ponent early and make him
play catch-up. That was what
the Dragons were hoping for,
as QB Kane Haffey directed a
seven-play, 61-yard drive on
the opening possession, high-
lighted by a 46-yard pass to se-
nior Sam Beattie that took the
ball down to the 11-yard line.
Two rushes by sopho-
more Henry Buonagurio put
the Dragons into the end zone
with 6:47 left in the quarter,
and junior Ben Startzell’s PAT
quickly made it 7-0.
Neither team could get
much going over the next four
possessions, as Duxbury con-
tinued to shoot itself in the
foot with consecutive fourth-
down fumbles.
With 4:40 left in the half,
Pembroke had good field po-

sition at the Duxbury 42, only
to watch as Duxbury’s CJ Cote
and Max Randle crushed Ti-
tan QB Anthony Juliano for
a huge loss on third down to
force a punt that landed back
at the Duxbury 42-yard line.
Buonagurio ripped off a
20-yard gain on first down, and
continued to move the Drag-
ons forward with a nine-yard
burst for another first down.
A holding penalty brought the
ball back to the 33, but a 14-
yard run by Buonagurio and a
15-yard scamper by Haffey put
the ball at the four-yard line as
the clock was winding down.
Haffey was sacked for a
five-yard loss, but made up for
it two plays later by sneaking
into the end zone from a yard
out. Startzell made the conver-
sion, as the Dragons went to
the locker room with a 14-0
