DRAMA & DEBATE: Police chief,

school start time top news
T
By Justin Graeber, Clipper Editor
justin@duxburyclipper.com

he year that was 2009 kept us on our toes. It was a year of stories, big and
small. From the front page to Around Town, Duxbury residents were
moving and shaking.
While economic turmoil raged around on the national scene, Duxbury wasn’t
without its own turbulence.
2009 was a year defined by conflict and debate. The year began with the School
Committee making a much-talked about decision to change the school start times
– a decision that still has some parents boiling.
At the annual election, a plan to update the facilities at the fire station and
build a badly-needed new police station was defeated, leaving dozens of public
safety workers in limbo. Later in the spring, the town clashed
with the operator of the North Hill
Golf Course.
During the summer, the deci-
sion to let a popular lacrosse coach
go provoked outrage from parents,
who lobbied (successfully) to have the
coach’s contract renewed.
Around the same time, the decision not to renew the contract of the police chief set off a firestorm
that deeply divided the community and public officials alike.
But through all the clouds, bright spots appeared. We heard stories of local students organizing a
benefit concert to help children in Africa. Some residents traveled to Uganda to work with orphans
in that country. A Duxbury firefighter risked his life to save a woman from a fire. A group of resi-
dents banded together to restore the bro-
ken pieces of a monument to those who top stories of 2009

Demolition disposal fees
rise at transfer station
By Susanna Sheehan, Clipper Staff
susanna@duxburyclipper.com
Selectmen recently ap-
proved changes to the transfer
station fees for disposing of
construction and demolition
materials, which include any-
thing that won’t fit into a town
trash bag. These changes go
into effect Feb. 1.
The price of a transfer sta-
tion sticker for next year will
not change; it will remain
$25.
At a public hearing on
Dec. 23, selectmen followed
the recommendation of De-
partment of Public Works
Director Peter Buttkus and in-
creased the cost of disposing
of truckloads of C&D debris.
Instead of the current method
of charging by the level or
heaping truckload, all truck
loads will be weighed and
charged ten cents per pound.
Selectmen decided to give
the average homeowner a
break and agreed to maintain
the current policy of one free
barrel of C&D debris per resi-
dent per day. They also de-
cided to keep the price of ad-
ditional barrels of trash at $5
each. Previously, Buttkus had
suggested eliminating the free
daily barrel and raising the per
barrel charge to $7.50.
The Fiscal Advisory
Committee supported these
changes.
The increase is needed be-
cause the town loses money in
this area of the transfer station
budget, according to Finance
Director John Madden.
It costs Duxbury over
$111,300 annually to dispose
of this type of trash, which
includes anything left at the
take-it-or-leave-it area, also
known as the “mall.” Thirty-

a.m., and the Alden School
now begins the school day at
7:30 a.m. rather than 8:15 a.m.
(The high school time was lat-
er adjusted to 8:20 a.m.)
Parents on both sides of
the issue gave passionate tes-
timony at School Committee
meetings, and at a public fo-
rum held in January. Parents
of students at Alden said the
change would have a negative
impact on their children.
The decision was conten-
tious from the start. It split the
board nearly down the middle.
Committee members George
Cipolletti, Karen Wong and
Anne Ward voted for the
change, and Maureen Connol-
ly and John Heinstadt voted
against it.
“The plan was literally
driven by the buses, and the
budget .. or I should say lack
thereof,” said Maureen Con-
nolly, who questioned the wis-
dom of the younger children
waiting in the dark for buses
and felt the committee hadn’t
followed proper procedure
while making the decision.
It wasn’t an easy decision
for board members, who had
been debating the issue for
months.
“If I tallied up the e-mails
it would come out to 50/50, so

is your concern.”

throughout the year.
A survey distributed in
school and to parents was
meant to establish a baseline
of data so the effects of the
time change could be studied
–– something parents on both
sides said was necessary.
Several parents, howev-
er, were concerned this data
would be shared with outside
sleep researchers –– some-
thing they say they weren’t in-
formed of –– and spoke out at
the July 8 School Committee
meeting.
“We’ve been informed af-
ter the fact, after we took the
parent online survey, that the
data is going to sleep research-
ers,” said Debbie Leppanen.
The committee seemed re-
luctant to make any concrete
promises about how the sur-
vey data would be used. How-
ever, member John Heinstadt
said he didn’t see the harm of
making an in-writing promise
that the data wouldn’t be used
outside the district.
“In my opinion what we
gain is maybe a higher level of
cooperation with parents,” he
said.

This graphic shows the proposed height of the turbine in the DPW yard compared with existing local
windmills.
DPW yard eyed as possible
location for wind turbine
By Susanna Sheehan, Clipper Staff
susanna@duxburyclipper.com
Duxbury’s Alternative En-
ergy Committee is investigat-
ing the possibility of building
two wind turbines behind the
Department of Public Works
building that, together, would
generate enough electricity
to meet more than half of the
town’s power needs.
The committee is study-
ing the construction of two
240-foot high wind turbines
located on town-owned land
off Tremont Street behind the
DPW building. The cost of
one wind turbine would be
approximately $1.25 million
and it would generate 660
kilowatts of power, or enough
electricity to power 145 homes
for a year, although the energy
would only be for municipal
use.
Chairman Frank Duggan
told selectmen recently that
the committee has completed
the first of three phases of the
state program that provides
grants for alternative energy
sources. This phase, the site
assessment, was done in Octo-
ber and was funded by a grant
from the Massachusetts Tech-
nology Collaborative.
The study looked at three
sites: the high/middle school
complex, the Chandler school
and an area of town-owned
land between the DPW
barn and the North Hill golf
course.
Duggan said eventually the
two school sites were elimi-
nated because of their proxim-
ity to school activities.
The study then looked
more closely at the land behind
the DPW building and found
three locations there that might
be viable for a wind turbine
because they had enough wind
and did not conflict with other
potential uses in the area.
“The area is out of the
way, it doesn’t affect any other
uses, and you can’t see it from
areas of town except if you

Board splits on wind bylaw

By Susanna Sheehan, Clipper Staff
susanna@duxburyclipper.com
Duxbury’s Alternative En-
ergy Committee plans to pres-
ent an article at the 2010 an-
nual Town Meeting in March
that will address the specifics
of building wind turbines to
generate power for municipal
buildings in Duxbury.
The purpose of the by-
law, which is labeled Section
616, Community-Scale Wind
Facilities, is to regulate the
construction and operation of
wind turbines used to generate
power only for town-owned
buildings. This would be done
by requiring a special permit
from the Zoning Board of Ap-
peals for any wind turbine that
falls under this bylaw.
The bylaw covers the spe-
cifics of wind turbines. It out-
lines the application and per-
mitting processes, includes the
definitions of the various parts
of turbine, and specifies cer-
tain requirements, such as the
maximum height and allow-
able setbacks from property
lines and houses.
To minimize any negative
impact on the town and its resi-
dents, the bylaw states that “all
such Community-Scale Wind
Facilities shall be constructed
and operated in a manner that
minimizes any adverse visual,
safety, and environmental im-
pacts.”
At a recent selectmen’s
meeting, selectman Jon Witten
voted not to endorse the bylaw
while Selectmen Chairman
Betsy Sullivan and Selectman
Chris Donato voted to support
it.
Witten felt that this bylaw
was too connected to a feasibil-
ity study conducted for the Al-
ternative Energy Committee.
The committee has identified
town-owned land behind the
Department of Public Works
building as a potential turbine
site. The bylaw states that this
type of wind turbine can only
be placed in a publicly owned
land overlay district, in which
the proposed location falls.
Witten also felt that Dux-
bury should be working to-
wards creating a town-specific
bylaw rather than adopting a
copy of a model bylaw.
“The model bylaw does the
greatest disservice we could
do to the town,” said Witten.
“Stay away from the model
bylaw.”
Witten also disagreed with
the way the bylaw was written
in relation to the approval pro-
cess.
“The burden should be on
the town to prove the bylaw is
applicable rather than on the
ZBA to prove that it isn’t,” he
said.
Sullivan said she felt that
this proposed bylaw was a
good beginning for what the
committee wanted to do.
“You need to start some-
where,” said Sullivan.
The Planning Board will
hold a public hearing on the
proposed wind turbine bylaw
on Monday, Jan. 11.
Despite splitting their vote
on the bylaw article, selectmen
voted unanimously to support
another article proposed by
the committee that amends the
zoning bylaw’s definitions of
use and regulation for profes-
sional offices. The article adds
the language “renewable and
alternative energy research
and development” to the sec-
tion that defines which profes-
sional offices may be allowed
in a neighborhood business

to sell the renovation.”
“I knew it would be a
tough sell,” added Police
Chief Mark DeLuca. “I think
it was simply the times.”
Discouraged after two straight
defeats (a plan to build two
separate new facilities was
defeated in 2008,) the Pub-
lic Safety Building Commit-
tee went back to the drawing
board, firm in their belief that
the state of the two stations is a
public safety issue and the fa-
cilities need to be updated.
Currently, the plan is to
return to Town Meeting in
the spring of 2010 with an
article seeking $292,000 in
design funds for upgrades to
the Tremont Street fire station,
said Committee Chairman An-
dre Martecchini in November.
“It’s similar to what we
were looking at last year,” he
said. However, the scope of
the plan is slightly reduced.
Last year’s project was esti-
mated at $5.2 million, Martec-
chini said this project would
be $4.5 million.
The idea would be to bring
bids to Town Meeting by 2011,
he added.
As far as the police sta-
tion goes, Martecchini said the
group will make a capital re-
quest for $30,000 to do some
site analysis and conceptual
design for the new police sta-
tion.
“Our leading site at this
point is still the Mayflower
site,” he said. “We still feel,
of the available town owned
sites, that’s the best site.”

were anything but genteel this
year.

County courts, Johnson Turf

in control of North Hill Coun-

2009 golf season. Johnson had
run the course for ten years,
but the management contract
for the town-owned, nine-
hole golf course on Merry Av-
enue was put out to bid at the
end of 2008. After reviewing
the bids, the town decided the
process hadn’t been correctly

Cold weather safety tips from the
Duxbury Fire Department
During this winter season
please consider the following:
Supplemental Heating
Devices
• Use and maintain all
heating devices in accordance
with the manufacturers rec-
ommendations.
• Do not leave heating de-
vices unattended or turned on
while you are asleep.
• Provide all heating de-
vices with at least three feet of
clear space, away from beds,
drapes, furniture and other
combustible materials.
• Examine gas lines for
punctures or splits. Check
the connectors and valves for
leaks.
Middlesex Superior Court
against Duxbury and mem-
bers of the North Hill Com-
mittee, seeking monetary
damages and alleging breach
of contract, conspiracy and
fraud and breach of public
trust. He also asked for an in-
junction preventing the town
from awarding the contract to
the winner of the second bid-
ding process, Calm Golf of
Rockland. A judge basically
put a hold on the whole issue,
allowing Johnson to run the
course under the terms of his
old contract through the end
of 2009.
Johnson claimed that Calm
Golf didn’t have the financial
backing to run a course, and
the judge, Justice Herman J.
Smith, agreed.
Calm’s attorney said that
Calm is simply a new com-
pany formed by Charles Lan-
zetta and Anthony Morosco,
who together have more than
80 years of experience run-
ning golf courses in addition
to Calm Golf’s four-month
stint at Abington’s Strawberry
Valley Golf Course.
Chimneys and Fireplac-
es
• Clean and maintain
chimneys, fireplaces and fur-
naces on a regular basis. Most
fires in wood stoves, fireplaces
and chimneys occur because
of a lack of regular cleaning,
leading to the buildup of creo-
sote (the residue of unburned
fuel).
• Keep sparks and em-
bers inside the fireplace with
screens made of heat-tem-
pered glass or sturdy metal.
• Burn dry, well-seasoned
hard wood because it’s the
most efficient fuel.
More than that, Johnson
accused a small group of golf-
ers of plotting against him
because of some unpopular
––  but he claimed necessary
–– rule changes made at North
Hill. In the court filings and in
e-mails sent to town officials,
he railed against the percep-
tion of himself as a “bully.”
“I’m the bully who took
a dump of a golf course and
clubhouse filled with drunks
and druggies and invested to
make it into a first class facil-
ity,” he wrote in an e-mail to
Recreation Director Gordon
Cushing.
“He claimed everyone
was conspiring against him,
which was completely fabri-
cated,” said Duxbury’s Town
Counsel Robert Troy.
Johnson is no stranger to
the inside of a courtroom, as
he is in or has been involved
in litigation over golf course
management in Abington,
Auburn, Beverly and New
Bedford.
Still, both Johnson and
town officials said they’re
committed to doing the right
thing by the town and the
course.
“There are certainly no
hard feelings on our end,”
said Cushing. “We’re all pro-
fessionals and we’re going to
do what’s best for the town.”

Island Creek North
expansion moves forward
T
here was a group
of current Island
Creek residents in
the crowd at the first public
hearing for Island Creek North
who seemed like they wanted
the project to

Top then and there.
Stories It’s been over
a year, but af-
of 2009 ter back-and-

the developer and the Zoning
Board of Appeals and after
several major changes to the

Ice and Cold Water Safety
According to the U.S. Coast Guard, each year there are
over 7,000 drownings and 20,000 near-drownings in the Unit-
ed States. Over half of these incidents occur in cold water
(water less than 70 degrees F.). If you are going to go onto
the ice, please use the following safety precautions. Ice on
moving water in rivers, streams and brooks is never safe. The
thickness of ice on ponds and lakes depends upon water cur-
rents or springs, depth, and natural objects such as tree stumps
or rocks. Daily changes in temperature cause the ice to expand
and contract, which affects its strength. No one can declare ice
to be absolutely safe. If someone does fall through the ice, act
quickly and call 911 for help immediately, do not go out onto
the ice, leave it to the professionals. Remember, the only safe
ice is at a skating arena.
The Duxbury Fire Department wishes everyone a safe and
happy holiday season.

State representative talks business at local company

State Representative Tom
Calter (D-Kingston) recently
told a group of business own-
ers that state funds for infra-
structure, combined with the
government’s focus on “in-
novation industries” will help
lead Massachusetts out of the
recession, but cautioned that
difficult decisions are still
ahead.
Calter was the guest of
Veda Clark, President and
CEO of Litecontrol at the
forum, held recently and at-
tended by a large group of
businesspeople from across
the region.
“I’m here to tell you that
there is hope for recovery,”
said Calter, who said that
Massachusetts is one of the
regions that he believes will
emerge last from the reces-
sion because it was one of
last to go into it. “The coun-
try is coming back, and I am
hopeful, but we are in a cli-
mate where there will need
to be additional budget cuts
and curtailment of services
because raising taxes is not a
way to boost an economic re-
covery.”
He emphasized the impor-
tance of collaboration between
the public and private sectors
of the state to bring about a
full economic recovery and
told the business owners more
about Governor Patrick’s pro-
posed growth strategy which
is meant to create an environ-
ment where businesses want
to invest.
This plan includes a fo-
cus on both the education and
implementation of “innova-
tion industries” such as IT,
life sciences, clean energy,
clean tech, and health care.
Additionally, there has been
a record amount of funds al-
located towards state infra-
structure works. Finally, the
approach provides incentives
for businesses who wish to
expand in identified growth
districts located outside the
Greater Boston area.
Representative Calter re-
called that Litecontrol was the
first business that he visited
after winning the election. “I
want to thank Veda Clark and
Litecontrol for this opportuni-
ty and for hosting us here to-
night,” he said, commending
Ms. Clark on a business that
is “a shining example of what
is right in this economy.” The
Representative fielded ques-
tions from audience members
on a wide range of topics.

Jessica Dennis outside the Itsukushima Shrine on Miyajima Island, Japan. The Duxbury student recently
completed a whirlwind, eight-country tour of Asia.
Globe-trotter
Local student visits eight countries on Asia trip
By Justin Graeber, Clipper Editor
justin@duxburyclipper.com
Jessica Dennis caught the
travel bug early on a trip to
Australia when she was 12-
years-old.
“I set a goal for myself, by
the time I was 25 I wanted to
visit 25 countries,” she said.
“When in the future am I go-
ing to have the time?”
Now, the Duxbury college
student has just returned from
an eight-country tour of Asia,
and she’s reached her goal.
The list of countries Den-
nis has visited reads like Rick
Steeves’ passport: Canada,
Mexico, Jamaica, Costa Rica,
Argentina, Bolivia, Australia,
Japan, China, Hong Kong,
Macau, the Philippines, In-
donesia, Malaysia, Thailand,
Morocco, Spain, France, Ger-
many, Italy, Czech Republic,
Austria, Slovakia, England
and Ireland.
On the most recent trip,
Dennis and a sorority sister
from school left on Oct. 15
and got back shortly before
Thanksgiving.
“We just booked it and
went,” she said.
Dennis said she and her
friend did a lot of research be-
fore the trip and booked about
85 percent of their hotels and
hostels before hand, but there
were a few times they decided
to play it by ear. That almost
came back to bite them, how-
ever, in Phuket, an island in
Thailand. When they got off the
plane, Dennis couldn’t pick up
the Internet on her Blackberry
and they found themselves in
a strange land with no place to
stay. Luckily, they overheard
another tourist talking about a
popular vacation spot.
“We got into a cab and
said, take us to Patong Beach,”
she said.
Her trip got her to try new
things, such as ox tail (which
she wound up liking) and a

of the trip.
few things that didn’t go so
well, such as starfish and snake
skin in Beijing.
“They have the night mar-
ket, where you can try things
like scorpion,” Dennis said.
She found her time in Chi-
na a real culture shock.
“Everyone would push to
get on and off the subway,”
she said.
They were also constantly
hearing themselves called the
Chinese word for foreigner.
“Once we learned it, we
just heard it all the time,” she
said.
Despite a couple of hic-
cups, she said the trip to the
non-western world had a pro-
found effect on her.
“Something about it re-
ally opened my eyes,” Dennis
said.
Her favorite highlight of
the trip was the Great Wall of
China.

Police fundraiser to begin
The Duxbury Police Union is going to be conducting its
annual fundraiser in the coming weeks. This year, the union
will be utilizing a direct mailing to all residents and business-
es. Members have chosen to do so instead of the past practice
of using an outside agency to solicit donations over the phone.
Officers hope that this will eliminate concerns that residents
have expressed during past fundraising done locally by call-
ing people at home. Residents can be assured that 100% of
their donations will go directly to the causes that the union
supports.

While in high school, she
participated in the AFS student
exchange program and went
to Costa Rica. Her family also
hosted a student, and some
of the connections she made
through AFS she’s kept up to
this day –– she actually visited
some of these connections on
the Asia trip.
“You meet so many people
[while traveling,]” she said.
“Everything is so different
... you realize how much you
don’t know.”
As for what the future
holds, Dennis is starting a
masters program in Spanish in
January. She’s also interviewed
with EF Education, a compa-
ny that does a lot with study
abroad. She’d like to continue
traveling, and perhaps expand
that list of countries.
“There are so many things I
don’t know and haven’t seen,”
she said.

Juncos are sometimes called
“Snowbirds” because they often
show up with the first snow.
You know that summer is over
when the first juncos appear. In
the summer they hang out in the
Canadian forests, building nests, laying eggs and raising young.
Then when Canada gets too cold for them they, like so many of
us, head south. Any place south of Montreal seems like “south”
to them.
Although they are a variety of sparrow, they look quite
different from the usual “little brown jobs.” They have rounded
heads with stubby, pink bills and fairly long tails. The tail
appears all dark but when the bird flies, bright white outer
feathers are visible giving the little bird a startlingly flashy
look. The males wear dark gray “tuxedos” no matter what the
occasion: dark above with crisp white bellies. Typically, the
females are drabber with brownish-gray feathers overall. Both
have little black “shoe-button” eyes.
Juncos are ground feeders, hopping around under the trees
in the woods or under your feeders at home. As they forage
on the ground looking for seeds, they call with little short,
crisp notes. Their song is a twitter but is almost never found
on my Twitter page. Although they like the woods I have often
seen them on Duxbury Beach scratching in the gravel along
the road. A birder reported that during the blizzard he saw
juncos feeding from a suet feeder. Suet is usually favored by
woodpeckers although the smaller birds will use it in very cold
weather. The fat keeps the birds warm. You know, like Pecan
Pie.
I’d like to report that these birds have good, upstanding
moral behavior but alas it seems that although males have
a mate that they form families with, they will also have
dalliances with neighboring females. It must be those tuxedos
the girls cannot resist. On the other hand if the male partner
dies, the female wastes no time in re-mating and raising
another family. Happily, juncos are not considered endangered.
Look out for juncos under your feeders and throw some
extra seed on the ground for them. If the squirrels get it, it’s
OK. They have to eat too.

After a mediocre season in

2008-09 that saw the Dragons
go 7-13-2 and miss the play-
offs, most figured that this
season would be much of the
same with very few varsity
players returning that saw sig-
nificant ice time last year.
Blake must have felt it was
time to rebuild also when he
chose this year’s team with 13
sophomores and a pair of fresh-
man dotting his 28-man roster.
A team can only go as far
as its goalie will take it, and
last Wednesday night in Quin-
cy junior goalie Tim Mathews
showed he plans on skippering
the Duxbury ship in a 5-0 shut-
out win over the Red Raiders.
The hosts tested Mathews
early, but the junior stayed
focused, as both teams were
testing each other out before a
Tim Harrison redirected shot
almost caught Raider goalie
Matt Brundige by surprise.
North Quincy finally got
the first break of the game
when Harrison went off for
crosschecking at 5:37. How-
ever, the Red Raiders could do
little with it, as the Duxbury

penalty-killing unit kept that

at bay.
The Dragons got their first
man-advantage with just 39
seconds left in the period, and
it almost turned disastrous, as
NQ’s Brendan Glynn stole the
puck from the Duxbury de-
fense at the blue line and went
in alone on Mathews. Going
from left to right, his shot hit
the crossbar and whistled into
the corner as the period ended.
It didn’t take the Drag-
ons long to jump on the Red
Raiders in the second period,
as sophomore Chris Williams
walked out of the corner to
Brundige’s right and picked
the top left corner on a perfect-
ly placed shot to give his team
a 1-0 lead at the 13:22 mark.
Less than two minutes later
the Red Raiders went on the
power-play, only to watch Dux-
bury’s Pat Charland go in alone
on Brundige but fail to score on
his shorthanded attempt.
Momentum was clearly on
Duxbury’s side, as they con-
tinued to keep the Red Raiders
in check.
With 6:44 to go in the mid-
dle stanza, the Dragons finally
got an insurance tally when ju-
nior forward Chris Sowa was
perfectly positioned to knock
home a rebound that gave
Duxbury a 2-0 lead.
The final minutes of the
period produced a pair of NQ
power-plays, sandwiched
around a blast from sophomore
defenseman Mitch Barrington
that rattled off the crossbar
while the lead remained at two.
Mathews was up to the task
once again starting the third
period, as he turned aside a
Raider shot while on his knees
to keep his shutout going.
The next goal would prove
crucial, as Duxbury went on
the power-play with 10:10 re-
maining. Sophomore transfer

only one resolution this year:
call Martin Snow four times next

the New Year? Two years ago Benazir
Bhutto was assassinated. Last year I
took a quieter look at the same region,
reminding you that Duxbury’s Razia
Jan was still at work in Afghanistan,
nursing along the Zabuli School for
the non-profit NGO that supports
poor rug-weaving women and their
families in Afghanistan. Your New
Year’s resolution could be to help
Razia heat a couple of rooms through
the winter. Call George Prebola at the
Duxbury Rotary Club (781-934-5231).
Don’t worry about the season. George
explained that they already sent Razia
the money – your donation would be
used to replenish the Rotary’s funds so
they can continue to support the school

What’s in a year? continued from page one
along with their other charities. While you’re at it, look up the
Rotary International at rotary.org. I was deeply moved by their
introductory video.
For that matter, I’ve been impressed since my first visit to
the Duxbury Club. They now meet for breakfast at the Senior
Center every Tuesday at 7 a.m., rather than the cocktail hour.
Their motto and guidelines sound like something straight from
Howard Gardner’s “5 Minds for the Future” (more about that
below). Rotarians ask four questions of the things they think,
say or do:
1. Is it the truth?
2. Is it fair to all concerned?
3. Will it build goodwill and better friendships?
4. Will it be beneficial to all concerned?
This sounds to me like Gardner’s “Respectful and Ethical
Minds,” and like Gardner’s propositions, easily suited to
people from most any ethnic or religious background. Gardner
spoke here in Duxbury a few couple of weeks ago, sponsored
by the Parent Connection. I needled him about leaving
Cornell’s Urie Bronfenbrenner out of his references (Gardner is
a Harvard guy), but I bought two of his books, and he was very
gracious to sign them for me. Gardner and his group run an
extremely rich web program at goodworkproject.org. I’ve just
scratched the surface of the site. It seems to focus on the same
values, but from a different, more academic angle. Gardner and
his program shimmer in the stratosphere. George Prebola and
the Duxbury Rotary have breakfast every Tuesday morning,
but their aims are the same: to build ethical, concerned
reasoning into our daily lives, careers, and the work of the day
wherever we work.
Of course, many people work out such things through
their religious views and their faith organizations. I do. The
problem is that many of us also work out our ax-grinding,
defensiveness, and outright hostility in the same religious
buildings. Not you, of course, nor I. Our faiths beat with the
very heart of mercy. It’s those other faiths that slice and dice
each other’s people in the name of – whomever.
My point, of course, is that regardless of one’s dedication
to a particular faith and the good works thereof, it’s a great
boon to have another course of action that is free of particular
religious flavor – like the life-giving rain that falls on all of us.
It makes reaching out across religious barriers so much easier.
Martin Snow? He’s the best and only piano tuner for me, a
South Shore standard. My New Year’s resolution is to keep my
family’s piano tuned for each season. Who knows? Maybe I’ll
even learn to play it.
The honors never end

Donoghue eyes wrestling championship

By Wendy Genereux
Senior captain Tim Dono-
ghue is hoping to top last year’s
third-place finish at the Marsh-
field Holiday Tournament by
winning the 119 lb. champion-
ship. The prestigious tourna-
ment boasts a field of 29 teams
from around the Bay State,
including this year’s new ad-
ditions from Norton, Wilming-
ton, and Bristol Aggie.
Donoghue, the #5 seed,
made quick work of his
Bridgewater-Raynham and
Whitman-Hanson opponents
in the first two rounds, setting
up one of the best matches of
his career against Sandwich
senior Sam Cordeiro. The two
grapplers exchanged points in
the first two periods, but Cor-
deiro would go ahead 6-4 in
the third period. Donoghue
continued to attack, but the
Sandwich captain defended
well, preventing the takedown.
However, in a dramatic turn of
events, Donoghue’s persever-
ance paid off with a two-point
takedown just as the period
expired. The Duxbury senior
captain went on to earn an ex-
citing come-from-behind 8-6
overtime victory, sending him
to the semi finals.
Freshman Nick Kates
didn’t let a second-round pin
late in the third period get
him down, hanging on to beat
Braintree’s John DeNapoli,
7-6, in a 103 lb. consolation
match. With the win and a bye,
Kates advanced to the second
day of competition, and will
face off against Plymouth
North’s Glen Drew.
Freshman Jake Genereux,
who recently won the 112 lb.
Patriot League Championship,
drew the #8 seed, giving him a
first-round bye, and a second-
round re-match with Pembroke
senior Jon Mecurio. Mecurio
was no match for the talented
freshman, and was quickly
pinned, sending Genereux to

had shown in its first three
games was nowhere to be

two periods and faced an up-
hill battle against the bigger
Wildcat squad.
The Dragons kept the game
close at 4-2 in the third period
on goals by senior defenseman
Jake Kearney (Pat Charland)
and sophomore center Evan
Jackson (Jeff Gaita). However,
an empty-net goal ended Dux-
bury’s hopes for a comeback
win with a 5-2 loss.
“Weymouth had one very
good line and they were big-
ger and more physical than
us,” said Blake. “We just got
beat to the puck and barely
won any 50/50 pucks in the
first period.”
The loss to Weymouth
highlighted some of the prob-
lems the Dragons will face this
year, as they get deeper into
their schedule.
“Between the loss of our
graduating seniors, the transfer
of Phil Sciretta, and the deci-
sions of Dan Sangster (soccer)
and Kane Haffey (lacrosse)
not to come out this season,
it kind of left the roster wide
open for this year,” said Blake.
“It opened up a lot of spots and
we feel our sophomore class is
very strong. I think we are a lit-
tle ahead of where we thought
we would be at this point.”
While the Dragons didn’t
return any high-profile scorer
from last year’s team, they do
welcome the return of sopho-
more forward Connor Doyle
from Catholic Memorial.
“Connor has four goals
right now and we’re counting
on him for some offense,” said
Blake. “He can finish.”
Joining Doyle on the first
line will be senior center Pat

“Pat is one of those kids
who wears his emotions on his
sleeve. He’s like the energizer
bunny. His feet just never stop
going, while Ryan is a physi-
cal type player who will muck
it up in the corners and throw
his weight around.”
Blake will look to junior
captain Bryan Barry to lead
the second line that will have
sophomore Tim Harrison at
center and sophomore Cam
Daly at left wing.
“It’s quite an honor for a
junior to be a captain,” said
the Duxbury coach. “Bryan
has shown leadership on the
ice and the ability to finish.
He’s got six points already and
plays a physical style game.”
Harrison came into camp
with a positive attitude and it
shows with the hard work he
put in in the off season. “Tim
made a huge improvement
since last year and he should
be able to do some damage this
year with his size and skills.”
Daly saw some varsity
time last year and Blake hopes
with his size and skill he’ll be
able to produce on a regular
basis this time around.
The Dragons currently
have a pair of third lines that
will continue to battle it out for
the majority of playing time.
Junior forward Nick Buon-
vicino will center one trio of
senior Colin Clark at right
wing and Sowa on the left side.
Buonvicino has the speed and
quickness for the center posi-
tion, while Clark has the best
shot on the team according to
Blake and will be the focus of
Duxbury’s set-up men. While

ness to go in the corners and
do the dirty work, he still has

by his nice goal against North

The mini line of sopho-
mores Evan Jackson, Wil-

they could give their team-
mates a run for their money
when it comes to earning more
playing time.
“They’ve done a spec-

“They’ve played together be-

all the little things to get the
job done despite their lack of

Junior Stephan Krall likes
the physical game back on the

according to Blake, while his
partner, junior Joe Coyne, has
made the transition from for-
ward to defense after experi-

last year.
Sophomore Mitch Bar-

a solid defenseman for the next
three years. “He’s got good
hands and is very smooth with

really sees the ice well and will
be instrumental on our power-

“Up to this point Tim gives
us our best chance of win-
ning,” said Blake. “He looked
the best in the pre-season, but
we also hope to get sophomore
Ian Ikeda some playing time
too during the season.”
Although the Dragons
have scored 17 goals in their
first four games, Blake doesn’t
expect to win a lot of blow-
outs.
“Our defense is our
strength and a lot of our kids
up front don’t have a lot of var-
sity experience,” said Blake.
“If we are going to win, it will
most likely be in low scoring
games. Because of our size,
bigger teams might intimidate
us. The fact is that we have so
many new faces, it might take

Fourth Friday Film Series

The Duxbury Free Li-
brary’s next film in the Fourth
Friday Film series, “Far From
Heaven,” directed by Todd
Haynes will screen on Friday,
Jan. 22 at 7 p.m. in the Merry
Room, library lower level.
This movie is a meticulous
and loving re-creation of a
1950’s Hollywood melodrama
in which the emotional and
socio-political undercurrents
are allowed free play. Finely
calibrated performances by
Julianne Moore and Dennis
Haysbert allow Dennis Quaid
to shine.
Led by James Mandrell,
library trustee and professor
of film at Brandeis Univer-
sity, the series is designed for
the over-18 crowd and meets
every fourth Friday. Film
screenings are preceded and
followed by lively discussion
led by Prof. Mandrell. Admis-
sion is free and refreshments
are available.
For further information,
781-934-2721 x100 or go to
www.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 after
watching this film. Almodó-
var treads familiar ground and
works with some of his favor-
ite actresses—including Car-
men Maura, Lola Dueñas, and
Chus Lampreave—to create
a film of genuine emotional
resonance.
