‘A patriot
for Duxbury’
Clipper Publisher David Cutler
remembered for humor and heart
By Justin Graeber, Clipper Editor

A community newspaper
icon and one of Duxbury’s
most tireless champions, Da-
vid S. Cutler, died on Sunday
after a battle with cancer.
“Nobody loved Duxbury
as much as David Cutler,” said
Jane Lane, who worked with
Cutler at the Clipper and other
papers. IN LIKE A LION: Rising waters caused the Blue Fish River to flood on Monday. Homes were threatened
as the tide rose, but due to the lack of wind they were spared damage. Photo by Deni Johnson

A cappella concert to benefit Paul Fortini Foundation
By Justin Graeber, Clipper Editor
justin@duxburyclipper.com
This Saturday’s Amaz-
ing A Cappella concert at the
Performing Art Center will be
the first official fundraiser for
the Paul S. Fortini Foundation.
Paul Fortini was a 2007 Dux-
bury High School graduate
killed in an accident in New
York City in 2008.
The foundation co-spon-
sored an orchestra event last
summer where an original
composition dedicated to Paul
was premiered. The composer,
Rossano Galante, flew into
Duxbury to oversee the pre-
mier.
This foundation will help
kick start the new foundation’s
efforts to supplement the high
school’s music and drama pro-
grams –– two passions near
and dear to Paul’s heart.
Paul’s father, Ken Fortini,
said he doesn’t want the foun-
dation to focus on small schol-
arships, or to replace things
that the school should be pro-
viding, like textbooks. Instead,
he hopes to be able to provide
additional arts enrichment out-
School Committee plans superintendent search
The Duxbury School Com-
mittee and search consultant
Dr. Richard Warren of Future
Management Systems, Inc.,
have begun planning for the
search for a new superinten-
dent of schools. The position
will be advertised nationally
in Education Week beginning
March 3, 2010 with applica-
tions due in early April.
A screening committee will
review qualified applicants and
select three to four finalists to
go forward for consideration
by the School Committee in
late April. Finalists would then
visit the district and participate
in interviews. The School
Committee anticipates select-
ing a final candidate and offer-
ing a contract by late May.
Dr. Warren will work with
the School Committee to up-
date a leadership profile, de-
veloped during the last super-
intendent search in 2006, with
input from the School Com-

side the school’s program.
“We hope to provide tools
and experiences to music and
drama students outside of the
school budget,” he said. “What
I hope is that our foundation
will be the same mission, but
complementary to, the Dux-
bury Education Foundation.”
The idea for the a cappella
night (a cappella groups sing
without instrumentation) came
from Brooke Teittinen, whose
father Dave is on the founda-
tion’s board. Brooke, a class-
mate of Paul Fortini’s, is in
an a cappella group at Trinity
College and thought it would
make a great fundraiser.
Ken Fortini hopes the eve-
ning will become an annual
event and the foundation’s sig-
nature fundraiser.
“In time we hope to do a
lot of good in town,” he said.
“This foundation came out of
something bad, all we’re trying
to do is have something good

SCHOOL COMMITTEE
Growing up here in Duxbury and returning to raise my four children, I have been
in and around our schools for nearly 20 years. I appreciate the unique character
and strengths of our schools and our town.
My simple goal is to be an advocate for the parents of Duxbury in all of the im-
portant business that comes before the School Committee. As an Assistant Dis-
trict Attorney, I learned to be a strong but respectful advocate, and I would like
to bring that experience to the dialog and deliberations that shape our schools
policies and priorities.
I want to bring the parents voice back into the School Committee process. With
your support, I will work to achieve the excellence we expect and our children
deserve. I ask for your vote on March 27th.
Please visit www.electchristine.webs.com to learn more about me and my
goals as a School Committee Member.

CPA funds to restore the win-

“It’s an outstanding his-

landmark in the town,” said
Jon Lehman, speaking on be-
half of the church.
The windows are 10 feet
high, and there are four on
each side and two in the back
of the building.
“They’re vulnerable to
being blown in by a severe
storm,” Lehman said.
There has been some dis-
cussion about separation of
church and state issues with

committee last Tuesday.
The group is seeking
$85,000, plus $5,000 for le-
gal expenses, for the first
phase of the project, which
would include repairing the
foundation –– including a
large granite pillar in the rear
of the building that was re-
moved years ago –– looking
at what’s needed to bring the
building up to modern codes,
and developing comprehen-
sive plans for historic preser-
vation of he building.
“The barn is in relatively
good shape,” said Samuels.
“It certainly needs some pres-
ervation but it’s in almost
original condition.”
The barn is mostly be-

Act funds have been used on

ties.
Lehman presented a legal
opinion from the firm Phillips
& Angley elaborating on this
position.
However, town counsel
Robert Troy believes that this
alone does not show enough
public benefit to justify us-
ing CPA funds to restore the
historic building’s windows.
More information is needed
to make the case that there is

can be program space in the
future.

on the Town Meeting agenda,

The land is 60 acres, 38

of which were being used for

a public benefit from this proj-
ect, he said, and without it, the
town must make the determi-
nation that using the building
for these two events meets the
required level of public benefit.
Further, Troy notes that using
CPA funds for historic pres-
ervation of a building owned
by a religious organization has
been challenged in some CPA
communities.
Lehman pointed out that
the church hosts town events
such as the Memorial Day
parade and the high school
celebration. He also said First
Parish would be privately
raising funds to pay for about
half of the work. There will
be a preservation restriction
attached to the work, to pro-
tect the town in the event the
church is ever sold.
Another rehabilitation
project on the Town Meet-
ing warrant is the Issac Keene
Barn at Camp Wing. It was
built in 1870, and at the time
was the biggest barn in Dux-
bury. This project is being
spearheaded by Crossroads

of the camp and is planning

David S. Cutler, 66, Clipper publisher
D
avid Sumner Cutler, 66, of Sur-
plus Street, founder of Mariner
Newspapers and publisher of the
Duxbury Clipper, died Sunday, Feb. 28 after a
seven-month fight against cancer. He died sur-
rounded by his family in his favorite spot –– a
fire-placed living room framed by hand-hewn
18th century Duxbury timbers.
Mr. Cutler was the son of John Henry Cut-
ler and Roberta Sumner Cutler. He and his twin
sister were born on the Fourth of July, 1943 in
Olathe, Kansas, where his father was stationed
with the Navy. In 1945, the Cutlers settled in
Duxbury year-round. An important turning
point in David Cutler's life came at not yet sev-
en, when over a bridge game at a neighbor’s
home, his parents let themselves be publicly
goaded into promising to start a respectable
newspaper in Duxbury. Nineteen days later,
on May 11, 1950, the inaugural edition of The
Duxbury Clipper appeared. In the first some-
times tenuous years of The Clipper's existence,
the observant young Mr. Cutler was absorbing
every aspect of the newspaper business in the
most intimate and practical way.
In September, 1957, Mr. Cutler entered the
class of 1961 at Holderness, a boarding school
in Plymouth, New Hampshire, where he was
captain of both football and baseball. He went
on to Colby College in Maine, where he was
again captain of the football team. Upon gradu-
ating in 1965, Mr. Cutler went to work at The
Patriot Ledger as a beat reporter covering the
towns of Abington, Whitman and Rockland.
Fifteen months later, Mr. Cutler requested and
was granted a three-year leave-of-absence to
join the U.S. Marines.
In January, 1967, he went on active duty
and entered Officer Candidate School in Quan-
tico, Virginia. After six more months of ad-
vanced training, Lieutenant Cutler was sent
to Vietnam, where he became commander of
a company stationed near the Demilitarized
Zone. On a night in March, 1968, Mr. Cutler
was pinned down while trying to rescue one of
his men. A North Vietnamese sniper bullet went
through both legs. There was every chance that
he would bleed to death before daylight. But
one of the men pinned down with him applied a
tourniquet. He survived the night and was res-
cued by helicopter after sunrise. For his valor
he received a Purple Heart, a Navy commenda-
tion medal and was later promoted to captain.
Mr. Cutler's beat reporting had impressed
his editors, and when he returned to The Patriot
Ledger in 1970 he was appointed the paper's
State House reporter. For the next two years he
plied the halls, covering the administration of
Gov. Francis Sargent.
In 1972, Mr. Cutler left the security of his
position at The Ledger to found The Marsh-
field Mariner with $1,000 in vacation pay and
a small investment by his partner, Michael
Stearns. The Mariner was inaugurated on April
13, 1972 and immediately became Marshfield's
paper of record, richly chronicling the town’s
births, deaths and much of what happened in
between.
Two years later The Norwell Mariner ap-
peared, and over the next dozen years papers
sprouted in Scituate, Cohasset and Pembroke,
eventually spreading as far north to Braintree
and south to Plymouth. While the growing
company eventually prospered, there were days
when his primary meals were snacks he pilfered
from his own vending machines. Along the way
Mr. Cutler learned a few lessons about the busi-
ness side of the newspaper business ––among
them to avoid carrying company checkbooks
around in a green garbage bag as they were
once tossed in the dumpster by a diligent clean-
ing woman.
When Mr. Cutler sold the company to Capi-
tal Cities/ABC for $8 million in 1989, Mariner
Newspapers boasted 17 community weeklies
and 95 full-time employees. The sale came with

a five-year contract to continue to run Mariner
Newspapers. He would now learn something
about the corporate world -- which in the end
reminded him too much of military service in
a stateside post to be to his long-term taste. As
was said in Roman times, better to command a
village than be number two in Rome.
A fruit of the Capital Cities/ABC period
was the respect Mr. Cutler had for his immedi-
ate corporate boss, John Coots, who, by and by,
had had enough of “Rome;” and the two decid-
ed to become partners and purchased a group of 7-30

With his partner focused on the business side,
Mr. Cutler found himself in the familiar role of
community publisher, but this time the chal-
lenge was one of turn-around artist. And turn-
around they did.

ler and Mr. Coots grew the company through
expansion while maintaining the “relentlessly
local” credo Mr. Cutler learned in the early
days folding Clippers in his parent’s living
room. Today, Stonebridge Press and its sister
company, Salmon Press, now publish one daily
and 23 weekly newspapers across three states
with nearly 100 full-time employees.
Mr. Cutler had no formal training in busi-
ness, accounting or “human resources” and of-
ten boasted that he’d never taken a journalism
course, yet he grew into all these roles, never
forgetting the business was, and is, always
about people. In the end he was beloved by
those people who had worked so closely with
him over five decades and three states.
Mr. Cutler was a voracious reader, especial-
ly of history, biography and politics. He was a
brilliant conversationalist, who could hold his
own with the assorted presidential candidates
who came calling in New Hampshire every
four years. He was passionate about fishing,
tennis and a good game of chess.
For all the native competitiveness that fired
the newspaperman, Mr. Cutler’s greatest pas-
sion was his family. The love and support of
his wife and children during his final illness en-
hanced his natural inclination to look at death
with equanimity. Early in his illness he said to
an old friend, “My life's work was my family,
and I've succeeded.”
David Sumner Cutler leaves his wife, the
Reverend Catherine Cullen, of Duxbury; sisters
Margaret Chandler of Maryland and Gail Cutler
of Pembroke; sons Josh S. Cutler of Duxbury,
Benjamin D. Cutler of New York and Jonathan
M. Cullen of West Roxbury; daughters Caro-

Clipper publisher succumbs to cancer at 66
continued from page one
Cutler was only seven
years old when his parents,
John and Roberta, started the
Duxbury Clipper on their din-
ing room table. But it sparked
a lifelong passion for journal-
ism, and community news in
particular, that would lead him
to publish dozens of news-
papers across Massachusetts,
New Hampshire and Connecti-
cut. From the beginning, Cut-
ler showed an aptitude for the
written word.
“David’s writing was so
incredible. He was always
right on the mark,” said Paula
Maxwell, who worked with
Cutler as the managing editor
of the Clipper during the 80s
and 90s. “He could get right
to the nub of the issue; he had
such a way with words.”
All his life Cutler maintained a
strong connection to Duxbury,
especially Duxbury Bay, where
he loved to fish for stripers.
After college, Cutler
worked as a beat reporter for
the Patriot Ledger, eventually
becoming the paper’s State-
house reporter. In 1972, he and
a business partner, Michael
Stearns, started the Marshfield
Mariner. The Mariner group
grew over the years, and it
included 17 weeklies when
it was sold to Capital Cities/
ABC in 1989. He later found-
ed, with Capital Cities/ABC’s
John Coots (who was his im-
mediate boss at the Mariners),
Stonebridge Press, which oper-
ates papers in Central Massa-
chusetts and Connecticut, and
Salmon Press in New Hamp-
shire. Cutler was elected to the
New England Press Associa-
tion Hall of Fame in 2004.
Cutler, who had no formal
journalism or business train-
ing, had an impact on scores of
young journalists throughout
his career.
“He filled that role of men-
tor for literally hundreds of
young writers,” said Lane. “I
think that’s what he loved so
much.”
Of course, Cutler’s pres-
ence could be intimidating.
Such was the case for an aspir-
ing freelance journalist, Walter
Bird, who was told he’d have
to interview with the publisher
of the Southbridge Evening
News in late 1998. Bird was
initially nervous, and when
Cutler asked his trademark
question “What was the last
Duxbury Clipper Wednesday, March 3, 2010
we became friends.”
Mittell later worked for
Cutler at the Marshfield Mari-
ner before moving on to the
Patriot Ledger and the Provi-
dence Journal. He credited
Cutler with “dragging him
kicking and screaming into
journalism.”
“I learned from him ... a
newspaper can make its com-
munity and its town better,”
Mittell said. “He was passion-
ate about that.”

School proposals range from repair work to new buildings

continued from page one
renovation and new construc-
tion, totaling $145 million.
The committee is waiting
to hear back from the Massa-
chusetts School Building Au-
thority — the organization that
would help facilitate and fund
the project at approximately
40 percent — after they com-
pleted a statement of interest
for each building project.
If the MSBA responds
soon, the town could see the
first shovel in the ground as
early as next summer, Walter
said.
School Building Commit-
tee chairman Elizabeth Lewis
broke down what the project
would mean for Duxbury tax-
payers. Based on the median
project cost of $120 million,
an anticipated 40 percent re-
imbursement from the MSBA
and a 25-year bond, the aver-
age Duxbury homeowner (with
house valued at $502,400)
would see an increase of
$877.91 on their tax bill in the
first year of the project.
That number would de-
crease annually, with the fi-
nal year seeing an additional
$431.72, Lewis said.
So what are Duxbury’s op-
tions?
As a baseline, Walter and
Richardson presented a “no
build” option, which would
essentially be a piecemeal
upgrade of the current build-
ings as needed, with an aver-
age annual maintenance cost
of $245,000 and an average
emergency maintenance cost
of $380,000 per year.
With many of the build-
ings’ major systems nearing
the end of their useful life,
according to Richardson, the
town would end up spending
at least $74 million for this op-
tion.
That number is a bit mis-
leading, Walter said, because
work that needs to be done in
those buildings can’t be done
at one time without closing the
buildings and moving the kids
out.
“We don’t know what that
timeline may look like, so we
can only take a snapshot in
looking at all these options;
they’re all in today’s dollars,”
he said. “The $74 million is
clearly the lowest number
here, but it’s going to go up
because you’re not going to be
able to do it all at once.”
Options 1a and 1b would
involve complete renovation
of both the middle and high
schools at a cost of $46 mil-
lion for the middle school
and $71 million for the high
school. Both these options
and the baseline option would
not meet MSBA standards for
sustainability and energy ef-
ficiency, Richardson pointed
out, and none of them ad-
dressed the issues laid out dur-
ing the public input portion of
the study, such as solving traf-
fic problems across St. George
Street or developing a layout
that better meets educational
goals.
Options 2 and 3 would
involve construction of two
new schools: a smaller mid-
dle school building (136,000
square feet) located on the
secondary practice field be-
hind the existing school ($54
million) and a new high school
(220,000 square feet) located
on open space elsewhere on
the middle school side of St.
George Street ($84 million).

“W

It’s become a famous question around
the Clipper office. It’s the question David
Cutler asked every potential new hire.
At first it might have seemed a non-sequitur, a question
outside the normal ranks of where you went to school and
what was your writing experience. But it drew you into the
conversation, made you open up so that David could see what
you were really made of.
It also typified one of the things I’ll remember most about
David Cutler, his ability to hold a lively conversation with
anyone –– and I mean anyone. As Jane Lane said this week,
he was comfortable talking with anyone from presidential
candidates in the conference rooms of his New Hampshire
papers to the Town Hall janitor. He was an intellectual gymnast
who could talk circles around any university professor but
somehow always made you feel at ease. He was a fierce,
intrepid journalist who pulled no punches, but it was his ability

was outstanding.
The level of commitment
to the performance Darin Mac-

the talented actors was awe

courageous. There was never
any doubt that the characters in
this play had grown up together
and had been close friends for
years. Even the body language
was amazing.
They are not the first to ex-
plore such provocative themes
as grief, mental instability,
sexual identity, homophobia,
bullying and teen suicide; but
they did it with such simple,
yet shocking realism that eyes
popped open, jaws dropped and
people screamed. It was a mas-
terful piece of work by all who
participated. They entertained
and they educated.

not only kicked butt at this fes-

Board approves jump in pool fees
By Susanna Sheehan, Clipper Staff
susanna@duxburyclipper.com
Selectmen voted to adopt
new user fees for the town-
owned Percy Walker pool on
St. George Street. Both resi-
dents and non-residents can
expect to pay more to use the
extensively renovated pool
when it reopens this Spring.
In order to cover the pool’s
estimated total operating ex-
penses of $377,000, Recre-
ation Director Gordon Cushing
looked at all 54 fees related to
the pool and made adjustments
to them. Also, he and the Rec-
reation Activities Committee
investigated the fees at another
comparable municipal pool in
Sudbury and at both the Ha-
nover YMCA and the Kings-
bury Club, both of which are
health clubs that offer a pool.
Pool user rates have not
changed since July 2008, ac-
cording to Cushing.
“There are a lot of mov-
ing parts here and no one has
a crystal ball, but we do have a
33-year operating history with
the pool,” said Cushing.
“We don’t raise fees cal-
lously,” he added. “We’re try-
ing to provide a cost neutral
building to the taxpayers.”
According to Cushing, the
pool’s financial operations will
be governed by an enterprise
fund. This is an account that
will receive all pool fees and
from which all pool expenses,
both direct and indirect, will
be paid. Voters at the special
Town Meeting on March 13
will be asked to approve the
pool’s enterprise account.
Selectmen unanimously
approved the new pool fees
Cushing recommended last
week. They take effect March
1. Cushing said that they are
competitive for the market and
should generate enough reve-
nue to cover all pool expenses.
Also, residents will pay less
than non-residents, he said.
For example, a yearly resi-
dent family membership will
be $480, an increase of $120
over the previous price. A non-
resident family membership
will now cost $800, instead of
$575, a $225 increase.
A senior resident annual
membership will cost $210.
The previous fee was $150. A
non-resident senior will pay
$300 a year for a membership,
or $90 more.
An individual resident an-
nual membership will be $375
as opposed to the previous
$250; a non-resident will have
to pay $420 instead of $350.
Lessons prices, pool rent-
als and swim meet fees are all
affected by the price increase.
Daily user fees have not
increased, but there is now
for adults and $5 for children;
non-residents will pay $10 per
adult and $7 per child.
The fee hike should gener-
ate just under $380,000 in rev-
enue, said Cushing. He expects
$140,000 to come from pool
rentals, $119,000 from lessons,
$98,000 from memberships and
$17,000 from daily usage. In
2003, the pool hit a high point
in its revenue of $270,000.
“It’s a popular place with
about 110,000 swimmers a
year in the building,” Cushing
said.
There are no plans to charge
the school department for its
traditional use of the pool by
the high school swim team or
for fourth grade swim lessons.
According to Cushing, these
cost the town $35,000.
Last year, voters approved
spending $2.2 million to up-
grade to the 33-year old build-
ing, which was given to the
town in 1976. Renovations
include state-of-the-art heating
and cooling systems, new me-
chanical systems, lighting and
plumbing fixtures, a new men’s
locker room and a renovated
women’s locker room.
Cushing is hoping for the
pool to re-open in late April
or early May but said at this
point, the opening date is still
“a moving target.”

New Tarkiln rental rates set

a different rate for non-resi-
dents. Residents will pay $7

OPEN
By Susanna Sheehan, Clipper Staff
susanna@duxburyclipper.com

In anticipation of the re-

opening of the Tarkiln Com-
munity Center this summer,
selectmen this week set new
rental rates for the building.
Selectmen unanimously
voted that renting either of
the two halls or the kitchen at
Tarkiln will cost $35 for the
first three hours and $10 an
hour for each additional hour.
Rental of the entire building
will cost $105 for a three-hour
minimum and $30 an hour
thereafter.
Selectmen also voted to set
the $35 per three hour rate to
rent the exterior of the build-
ing for events and promised
that they would revisit these
fees once the building was
opened and they had actual
usage figures.
The previous rental rate at
Tarkiln was $4 an hour.

used seven days a week by nu-
merous community groups for
their meetings and activities.
The renovation project at
Tarkiln has been underway
since last year with the use
of volunteer labor and dona-
tions to paint the exterior and
with the installation of a new
roof and new septic system.
Town officials have recently
received bids for the interior
construction, which includes
handicapped accessible ramps
and bathrooms, and plan to
award a contract for the con-
struction soon.
For renters, the building
offers two large rooms, each
with its own exterior access,
which are separated by a hall-
way containing new bath-
rooms. There is also a kitchen
addition.
These rates were recom-
mended by Finance Director
John Madden, the Tarkiln
Committee and the Fiscal Ad-
visory Committee. Madden
said that he and these com-
mittees spent a lot of time
discussing the rental rates
before arriving at their rec-
ommendations. He explained
that currently there are many
unknowns as to who would
be renting the building, so he
advised selectmen to revisit
the rates after the building has
been open.
Selectman Betsy Sullivan
was concerned about setting
a rate to rent out the kitchen
because the kitchen has been
gutted and there is nothing left
and a storage closet.
“I’m not entirely comfort-
able with this. There has to
be some truth in advertising,”
Sullivan said.
Tarkiln Committee Chair-

Selectmen debated the

idea of setting fees to rent
Tarkiln’s grounds. Although
he ultimately voted for an out-
door usage fee, Selectman Jon
Witten said this fee was not
necessary because he felt there
was no impact on the town by
groups like the Farmer’s Mar-
ket who were using “a cracked &ZFMBTI

Learn the basics of voice-overs
I
f you have ever been told you have a good voice, or if you have ever wondered what
it would take to get paid to be the voice on commercials, audio book narrations, video
games, or corporate telephone directories – then the introductory class “You’re On The
Air…How to Really Make It in Voice-Overs” is for you!
The class will be held on Monday, March 15 from 7 p.m.–9 p.m. at Duxbury Before
and After Dark with Such A Voice Coach & Producer Liz Solar. If you are interested in at-
tending the event, please coordinate with Catherine Marshall at 802-275-0155 or call them
directly at 781-934-7633.
Liz Solar (VH1, Nokia, Comcast, Welch’s, etc.) will cover all topics
relevant to voice-overs; including, how the industry works, what types of
voice-overs there are, what is involved in technique training, where most
of the jobs are headed in 2010, how to get social media and marketing
training, and she will answer all questions students may have.
At the end of the class, every student will use scripts to create their
own voice-over with the help of the producer using Pro Tools, as well as
receive an on-the-spot evaluation.
“In this class, I will teach those interested in getting into voice-overs
so that they have some basic voice-over techniques and an idea of what
life as a professional voice-over artist is like,” says Liz, Coach & Producer
for Such A Voice.
Such A Voice is a voice-over training and demo production company start-
ed by Tony Award Nominee Dan Levine that has been launching students to
professional careers in the voice-over industry since 1989. With the help

the winter. Many Afghan schools must close for the snow-
choked months but the girls of Deh Sabz could stay warm and
learning. Other funds are needed to upgrade the security wall
around the school. The wall in front is strong, but there is only
flimsy wood around back. The traditional standard for buildings
and homes in Afghanistan is a walled courtyard surrounding the
house or building. Thus, a flimsy wall evokes a careless, unsafe
atmosphere making it difficult (and unwise) for families to trust
that their daughters are both safe and honored. Remember, it’s
not Duxbury, where open access to the facility seems ordinary.
The school needs the stone wall of the front to extend all around.
This isn’t luxury.
Razia’s other Afghan project is her job as Afghan Project
coordinator for Arzu Rugs, the nonprofit outfit that supports
many of the poorest families by buying their famous rugs,
and providing a bonus paid directly to the weaver (always
a woman). The bonus entails certain responsibilities: all the
family’s children must go to school, along with one adult
woman in the family. The basic price for the finished rug is
paid, as is traditional, to the husband of the weaver. The bonus
(half of the purchase price) is paid directly to the weaver. This
visible, hands-on transfer of cash to the woman is agreed to in
advance in negotiations with the family, and usually with great
fanfare with all the family present. Most everything important
in Afghanistan happens with all the family present. The result
is empowerment for the weaver, and considerable enjoyment DRAWING A CROWD: Brian Grossman has plenty of company as he drives to the basket during

Lady Dragons fall to Foxboro

By Mike Halloran, Sports Editor
sports@duxburyclipper.com
They started the season
with low expectations after
losing a roster loaded with se-
niors.
girls Basketball
Duxbury 51
Foxboro 65
After a miserable start
and questions whether or not
they had the talent to win five
games, things turned around
near mid-season for the Dux-
bury girls’ basketball team, as
they won five games in a row
and suddenly were thinking
post-season play.
Despite a first-round exit
last Thursday night in a 65-51
loss to third-seeded Foxboro
High School, the future is defi-
nitely looking brighter for the
girls’ basketball program with
the discovery of freshmen
Kaitlin Norton and Michela
North.
Dunn loses just one senior
from his current roster, and the
experience gained by his un-
derclassmen promises to go a
long way in building the pro-
gram back to prominence.
Their play on Thursday
night, although sloppy at times,
showed they have the talent to
be a Patriot League contender
for the next few years.
While nerves were evi-
dent in Foxboro, the amount
of adrenalin running through
their veins in the first quarter
must have had the Warriors
wondering how this team fin-
ished 11-11 and was the 14th
seed.
Matching basket for bas-
ket in the first few minutes,
the Lady Dragons would take
an 8-6 lead on a Devon Tsinzo
three-pointer, and increase it
to 11-8 on another trey by the
junior guard with 3:03 left in
the opening quarter.
Coming out of a timeout,
Maggie North gave Duxbury
a surprising five-point lead at
13-8, prompting the hosts to do
some serious soul-searching.
The Warriors quickly went
on the offensive, scoring nine
straight points for a 17-15 lead
before North ended the first
quarter with a basket to bring
Duxbury within two.
Turnovers continued to ESCAPE ROUTE: Duxbury’s Jenna Cusick sheds a double team from Foxboro’s Ashley Snyder and

O’Neal wins state title

Duxbury resident and
Boston College HS senior
Patrick O’Neal won the 100-
yard butterfly at last week’s
MIAA Division I State swim-
ming finals.
O’Neal is a four-year
starter and the 2009-10 co-
captain for the Eagles, as
well as being undefeated in
the 100-yard butterfly in this
year’s dual meets.
O’Neal was the third seed
in this year’s Division I State
championships  and beat the
defending State champ with
a personal-best time of 53.21.
While the butterfly is his spe-
cialty, he is also a major con-
tributor on the powerhouse
BCHS squad.
Named to this year’s
Boston Globe All-Scholastic
team, O’Neal was a member
of the 200-yard medley relay
team (2nd) and the 200-yard
freestyle relay team (2nd) on
which he anchored.
In this year’s South Sec-
tionals, O’Neal was on the
winning 200-yard freestyle
Patrick O’Neil
relay team, and also placed
in the 200-yard medley re-
lay (2nd), 100-yard butterfly
(4th), and 200-yard freestyle
relay (6th). He was also a
member of the 200 and 400-
yard relay teams in last year’s
Sectional that set a new record
in each event.
O’Neal is the 2010 Cath-
olic Conference butterfly
champion and was named the
meet MVP.
Plans underway for
Hall of Fame dinner
The DHS Boosters Club
is in the process of making
plans for the Hall of Fame
induction ceremony that will
take place on Saturday, May
8 at the Plymouth Country
Club in Plymouth.
The classes of 2008 and
2009 will be honored in a
joint ceremony that is a ma-
jor fundraiser for the Boost-
ers. Tickets for the event are
$35 and will be available in
March by contacting Sheila

ticipation exercises and skill
development, followed by fun
match play (Under-6 play in-

Fourth Friday film series

The Duxbury Free Li-
brary’s next film in the Fourth
Friday Film series, “Volver”
directed by Pedro Amnodovar
will screen on Friday, Feb. 26
at 7 p.m. in the Merry Room,
library lower level. 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 res-
onance. The film is rated R.
Film screenings are pre-
ceded and followed by lively
discussion led by Prof. Man-
drell. Admission is free and
refreshments are available.
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
surprisingly affecting Emmy
Rossum 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.
May 28: Next Stop Won-
derland (USA 1998) dir. Brad
Anderson. 104 mins. Rated
R. Who says that a mother
doesn’t know best? Who bet-
ter to place a personal ad for
her single daughter in a local
paper? Yet another romantic
comedy with the advantage
of terrific writing, outstanding
performances, and a Boston
location. Not to be missed.
