On one of the last weekends of nice weather before the fall, the crowds of people on Duxbury

Beach weren’t looking for one last tan or a chance to relax. The beach was filled with

teams of people looking for trash during the annual “Beach Sweep.”

The Beach Sweep is part of an interna-tional effort to clean up beaches and record the trash picked up. It is run under the aus-pices of the Ocean Conservancy.

Neil Johnson, chairman of the Public Safety Building Committee, had one sentence highlighted at the top of his meeting agenda: “Need to find the perfect site.”

Some members of the group, however, believe the committee has already found the perfect location for a new police station (transfer station land off Mayflower Street,) and that they should press on despite a defeat at last year’s town election.

Committee member Geor-gia Blatterman said the group needed to stick to the plan, and send a message to Duxbury voters: “If you don’t want it this year, we’ll be back next year, because it’s the right thing to do,” she said.

The group, tasked with coming up with a plan to re-place/refit/renovate the town’s aging fire and police stations, has been wrestling with a va-riety of options over the past several years. A plan to build two completely new fire and

Chad Conway’s bright yellow automobile is one of the most unusual cars you’ll see on the road, even in an age when smart cars and hy-brids are becoming more com-mon. The small, angular car is an electric model built in the 1980s called a Comuta-Car. While a student at Duxbury High School, Chad Conway restored a

Students at the Duxbury Middle School were temporar-ily held on lockdown after po-lice discovered a live round of ammunition Friday afternoon.

Police were called to the school after two shells were discovered, said Lt. Lewis Chubb of the Duxbury Police. One was a spent casing, but one was a live round, Chubb said. The bullets were differ-ent calibers, he added.

Students were asked to re-main in their classrooms and police conducted a thorough search of the building us-ing dogs and metal detectors, Chubb said, to make sure there was no weapon in the school.

“The item of concern is the live round,” he said. “We had to be sure it didn’t come in with a gun.”

Superintendent Susan Skeiber called the police proc-dure a semi-lockdown, and said School Resource Office Friend Weiler was called in to help the police and schools work together.

“The police came in and did a nice thorough search for us,” she said. Police searched backpacks with metal detect-

ing wands and searched in-dividual lockers with dogs. Skeiber said that considering that, the district did not enact any additional security pro-cedures when school started again on Monday.

“I think everyone was fairly calm and felt things were handled appropriately,” Skeiber said.

Students were held in their rooms beyond the normal school dismissal time. They were released when police were satisfied there was no weapon in the school, Chubb said.

Skeiber said the lockdown did not affect the release of students from the Alden El-ementary School, which is adjacent to the middle school, but the delay of buses from the middle and high schools delayed Chandler students by about half an hour.

Skeiber said Tuesday the schools still do not know who brought the bullet into the school. Chubb said the Police Department is still investigat-ing to find out where the ammo may have come from.

Live bullet found at middle school

Home field switch for footballThe Duxbury High School Athletic Department has decid-

ed, for the football game on Friday night, to try the traditional side of the field for the home side. However, no spectators will be allowed inside the fence, just as they are not allowed inside the fence at Whitman-Hanson, Hingham, Scituate, Pembroke, etc. No decision has been made regarding the next home game, set for Oct. 9.


It was one of 3,000 built by a Florida-based company called Commuter Vehicles Incorpo-rated, Conway said.

Always a car guy, in high school Conway was looking for a project, initially experi-menting with kits where one builds a car from scratch.

Eventually, his teacher Chris Connors pointed him in the right direction.

“He knew I was looking for a project, and it turns out he had this 1980 commuter car he had in his garage he was looking to fix up and get run-ning again,” Conway said.

In the fall of his sopho-more year, Conway moved the car from a garage to a space at the high school. Although the body of the car was basically intact, the electrical system needed a lot of work.

“A previous owner had at-tempted to upgrade the car to a 70 volt system ... basically the wiring was in shambles,” Con-way said.

Over the next year and a half Conway, with help from his teacher, his friends and his father and an Internet group (where he found the electri-cal schematics,) worked on the car, getting it ready to drive in the July 4th parade, and then the prom.

“It was definitely a big learning curve,” he said.

The irony of the Comuta-Car is that it was another gas crisis that gave rise to the com-pany, just like the most recent spike in oil prices fostered the current interest in hybrid and electric vehicles.

“They advertised them as, ‘you don’t have to stop at the gas station and wait in line for gas.’ They really spun off the oil crisis.”

The cars eventually went out of production due to in-creased highway and safety standards.

“They were kind of ahead of the game in a big way,” Con-way said. “They advertised them to stay at home moms, to get groceries.”

The car can get up to about

40 miles per hour, and can be driven all about Duxbury, on Route 3A and Route 53, but Conway wouldn’t drive on major highways such as Route 3.

“It’s completely road com-patible. It’s grandfathered in as street legal vehicle,” Conway said.

The car doesn’t drive like a normal vehicle, however. The car’s accelerator, called an “energy pedal,” has three settings that the driver clicks through. The first “click” takes the car from 5-10 miles per hour, the second “click” is 15-25, and the third will take the car up to its full speed of about 40 miles per hour.

“It’s not like a regular throttle that you push down and it quickly accelerates,” Conway said.

Conway is currently a sophomore double majoring in electrical and mechanical engineering at the Rose-Hul-man Institute of Technology in Indiana. Although he always

had an interest in being an en-gineer, he said the Comuta-car project solidified his interest in the field, and now he wants to work with electric cars as a career.

Right now he is the electri-cal team leader on a two-year EcoCAR Project, where stu-dents are given the body of a Saturn Vue and are asked to create a new efficient power train.

“It’s really great, it’s hands on. We’re using the same soft-ware GM uses,” he said.

Currently, the “Cheese Wedge” is in Duxbury, but Conway’s family might be using a custom built trailer to bring the car to Indiana. The car still gets a lot of attention around Duxbury.

“I think there’s potential in that market for [electric] cars, a second car, you can have it at your house,” Conway said. “Driving that car, everyone I see, people are just like, ‘where can I buy one.’”

In spite of tight bud-gets and a station that is badly in need of re-

placement, the Duxbury Police Department has retained its accredited status following its first reassessment.

A team of Massachusetts Police Accreditation Commis-sion assessors was present at the Duxbury Police Depart-ment June 22–24 to evaluate the department for renewal of its accreditation. Detective Ser-geant Robert Fitzsimmons of the MBTA Police Department and Sergeant James Rosato of the Orleans Police Depart-ment assisted assessment team leader Lt. John Lundborn of the Truro Police Department. The accreditation process was coordinated and directed by MPAC Executive Director Donna Taylor Mooers acting on behalf of the Commission Board of Directors.

Accreditation is a self-initiated evaluation process by which police departments strive to meet and maintain standards that have been es-tablished for the profession, by the profession. These carefully selected standards reflect criti-cal areas of police manage-ment, operations, and technical support activities. They cover areas such as policy develop-ment, emergency response planning, training, communi-cations, property and evidence handling, use of force, vehicu-lar pursuit, prisoner transpor-

tation, and prisoner holding facilities. The program not only sets standards for the law enforcement profession, but also for the delivery of police services to citizens of the com-monwealth.

“Achieving Accreditation from the Massachusetts Police Accreditation Commission is considered a very signifi-cant accomplishment, and is a recognition that is highly re-garded by the law enforcement community,” said Donna Tay-lor Mooers, the Commission’s Executive Director.”

The assessment team found the department to be in compliance with all applicable mandatory standards for Ac-creditation and exceeded the optional standards required; because of this the Duxbury Police Department will retain the Commission’s highest award: Accreditation.

“Going through the pro-cess initially requires intense self-scrutiny, and ultimately provides a quality assurance review of the agency,” said Mooers.

The Commission offers two program awards: Certifi-cation and Accreditation, with Accreditation being the higher of the two. Accreditation has been granted for a period of three years. Participation in the program is strictly volun-tary.

Chief DeLuca appointed Lt. Susan James to serve as

the department’s accreditation manager in 1999. In 2005 the department received “Certi-fication” status, the first level of achievement from the Com-mission. In 2006 the depart-ment passed its initial accredi-tation assessment and became the 23rd town in the Common-wealth to be awarded “accred-ited” status. Duxbury is still the only town on the South Shore to be accredited.

Chief DeLuca Receives the Certificate of Accreditation at the June 10th Massachusetts Police Accreditation Commission Board of Directors’ Meeting. Pictured are MPAC Executive Director, Donna Taylor Mooers, Lt. Susan James, Chief Mark DeLuca, Lt. Roger Banfill, Accreditation Assistant Patricia Mastrangelo, and Det. Sgt. Kristin Golden.

The Duxbury Historical Commission has received no-tification from the Director of the National Park Service that the Tarkiln Twin Schoolhous-es have been placed on the National Register of Historic Places.

The effort to have the buildings saved for their his-torical importance to the town and for their use by the many community groups who have called them home has been an ongoing effort for the past 20

years. Both the members of those groups and the past and present members of the Com-mission have labored through many disappointments to as-sure the salvation of the build-ings and the national acclaim they deserve.

Last year the Tarkiln buildings were recognized as one of Massachusetts’ Most Endangered Historic Resourc-es by Preservation Mass. The future of the building was fur-ther aided by the diligent work of the Tarkiln Study Commit-tee this past year and by the approval of the Community Preservation Committee and the Town Meeting of the funds necessary to begin the restora-tion of the buildings.

Although this is primar-ily an honorary designation and carries few safeguards, the award will open the path to some historic preservation grants.

Other National Register locations in Duxbury are: the John Alden House, the homes of Captains Daniel, Gamaliel and Gershorm Bradford, First Parish Church, King Caesar House, Old Shipbuilders His-toric District, Washington St. from Powder Point Ave, to just north of Hall’s Corner, Pills-bury Summer House on Old Cove Rd., Alexander Standish House, Nathaniel Winsor, Jr. House and the Wright Memo-rial Library.

police facilities was approved by Town Meeting in 2008 but then defeated at the polls. The group mulled the idea of building a combined facility on cemetery land but instead opted to pitch to voters a new police station on Mayflower Street and a renovation proj-ect for the main fire station. Unfortunately, this plan also passed Town Meeting only to be rejected at the ballot box.

Blatterman pointed out that the ballot was confusing (be-cause of a last minute change, both the combo station and the separate projects appeared on the ballot) and said that if all the yes votes for the combo station were applied to the oth-er questions, the project would have passed.

“We had two yeses and a no, and it divided our vote,” she said. “We weren’t neces-sarily wrong.”

Steve Carell of the Carell Group, an architect working with the committee, agreed that the land next to the trans-fer station was the ideal site for a new police station.

“It’s land that really isn’t going to become anything else,” he said. “I think you have the right site.”

One of the dilemmas for the group is that there are a few

engineering and environmen-tal questions about the May-flower Street site. To answer those questions, however, re-quires money – about 25,000 to 30,000 dollars –– and the town simply doesn’t have the cash to spare.

Lt. Lewis Chubb of the Duxbury Police said fears that the location isn’t cen-tral enough for police are un-founded.

“We don’t work out of the building, we work out of the car,” he said.

Someone at the meeting suggested asking Town Meet-ing next March for the funds to test the land, but that would delay the project even further.

“This year is going to be the toughest year,” said An-dre Martecchini, pointing out that there are no state rainy day funds or federal stimulus dollars available. “This is the year there could be real state aid cuts.”

“We missed a golden op-portunity,” added Johnson. Carell added that construc-tion prices are starting to creep up after a dip due to the bad economy.

There are other factors muddying the waters, includ-ing the uncertainty of the con-tract status of Police Chief Mark DeLuca. As it stands, the town is slated to get a new

chief when DeLuca’s contract expires in November –– a new chief that would likely want in-put on any new police station. The group did throw around some alternate site ideas for the police station –– including land designated for affordable housing off Lincoln Street and the former Goodrich Lumber yard (a 40B project slated to be built there has stalled) –– but nothing is jumping out as “the perfect site.”

Many committee members feel the issue is less about buf-fer zones and perc tests than it is about public relations, get-ting the message out to the community that new public safety facilities are a top pri-ority

“The issues haven’t gone away,” said Frank Mangione. “We’ve got to get that message resonated out in the communi-ty. That’s the problem.”

The group will next meet on Sept. 27, 7:30 p.m. at the Senior Center, and they hope to connect with a new build-ing committee created by the town manager to oversee all public buildings in town. The Fire Department will also hold an open house on Oct. 10, and they hope to work with police to spread the message that new facilities are sorely needed.

Warm your belly with minestrone

By miChelle Conway, Clipper Columnist [email protected]

A hearty minestrone soup is an ideal way to make use of early autumn flavors while taking advantage of the local vegetables still lingering in the garden and

on farm tables. Loosely translated into “to serve the big soup,” Minestrone’s roots reach as far back as the ancient days of

Rome when its army was said to have “marched on minestrone.” There isn’t one definitive recipe for this peasant soup although every minestrone is chock full of vegetables. In Italy, the rest of the ingredients vary region to region. In Milan, minestrone is made with rice and peas, in Genoa a swirl of pesto is added and in Florence, the

beans are cooked separately; half of the beans are pureed and added back in to thicken the soup.

There are as many recipes for minestrone as there are for meatloaf, and truthfully, no two minestrones should ever be ex-actly alike. Each pot should include the greatest ingredients of the season, be influenced by the mood of the cook and savored by all.

This recipe is a confluence of many different recipes, tai-lored to one cook’s personal preferences. Feel free to experi-ment and improvise with this minestrone by adding new veg-etables, changing the ratios or by trying the variations of each Italian region until you find a satisfying blend. Whatever way you make minestrone soup, you absolutely must use Italian Par-migiano Reggiano as a garnish; no canned substitutes allowed!

Minestrone Soup

2 tablespoons olive oil2 carrots, peeled and diced1 medium onion, peeled and diced4 cloves of garlic, minced6 cups chicken stock1 bay leaf2 ½ cups red skinned potatoes cut into cubes1 28 oz can of chopped tomatoes, with the juice (or fresh

tomatoes, seeded)2 zucchini, sliced or cubed (or one zuke and one summer

squash)1 cup of green beans, ends snapped, cut into 2” pieces3 cups shredded cabbage or kale5 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley1 14 oz. can of cannellini beans, drained and rinsedParmigiano Reggiano Cheese

Using a large soup pot, warm the oil over medium-low heat and add the carrots, onion and garlic; cover and let cook for about ten minutes. Add the chicken stock, bay leaf, potatoes, and tomatoes. Bring to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are just tender. Remember, the potatoes are going to cook more when you add the next batch of vegetables. Add the zucchini, green beans, and cabbage. Simmer until the vegetables are cooked. Stir in the parsley and cannellini beans. Pull out the bay leaf, season with salt and pepper and let the beans warm through. (Hint: the longer minestrone sits, the richer the flavors). Serve with grated Parmigiano Reggiano.

Tidbit: Cookbook author and cook, Sheila Lukins passed away recently. Sheila was best known for her Silver Palate cookbook series and NYC shop of the same name. She and her business partner, Julee Rosso revolutionized home cooking in the 1980’s by introducing American home cooks to now com-monplace flavors such as raspberry vinaigrette, cumin, kiwis and chicken Marbella. This minestrone recipe and the concept of adapting a recipe to personal taste were greatly influenced by Ms. Lukins.

The Duxbury Assessing Department is making avail-able lists of the proposed FY 2010 property assessments for public review and com-ment from Thursday, Sept. 24 through Wednesday, Sept. 30. The assessed value listings will be available both at the Assessing Department Office at Town Hall and at the Dux-bury Free Library. They will also be available at the Assess-ing Department’s page on the town’s Web site, www.town.duxbury.ma.us/assessing

The new assessed values will be used as the basis for the distribution of the prop-erty tax burden for the current fiscal year (FY 2010) which began last July 1. The new as-sessments will appear for the first time on the third quarter tax bills that will be issued in December of this year.

The new assessed values reflect the mix of real estate market value changes that took place in calendar year 2008. While the market trend during this period was clearly one of decline, in some instances the real estate market showed that an assessment increase was warranted.

Some properties have had new construction or renova-tions that have not yet been processed by the Assessing Department; and the assess-ments of these properties are in particular subject to change.

This opportunity to re-view the new assessed values is strictly an informal process. It in no way replaces the usual

abatement application process that will begin this December when the third quarter tax bills are issued and that will extend until Feb. 1, 2010.

Property owners are asked to remember that a given per-centage change in assessed value does not translate into a similar percentage change in the amount of taxes that a property owner will have to pay. The actual percentage change in individual tax bills will depend on each property owner’s new proportionate share of the town’s total as-sessed value as well as the total amount of property tax revenue that will be required to operate the town for the cur-rent fiscal year.

The amount of tax revenue that will be needed to contrib-ute to funding the FY 2010 budget will be finalized in No-vember when the tax rate is set. It is this tax revenue amount as determined by Town Meeting in combination with a variety of real estate market and new construction factors that will determine the extent to which individual tax bills will change for Fiscal Year 2010.

The Assessing Depart-ment is open Mondays from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. From Tuesday through Thursday the office hours are from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. On Friday the office hours are from 8 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. For further information, please contact the Assessing Depart-ment, 781-934-1100, exten-sion 115.

Bradford C. Leyland, Jr. died Sept. 11 at Mt. Auburn Hospital, Cambridge. Born Sept. 18, 1949, he lived at home in Wellesley Hills for several years before becoming a resident of the Fernald School in Waltham where he lived for over 50 years.

He leaves his parents, Bradford C. and Constance (Cady) Leyland of Duxbury; his sisters, Sally L. Barlow and her husband Ste-phen of Barrington, R.I., Lucy D. Leyland and her husband Matthew S. Lieber of Weston, and

Lisa L. Leiden and her husband Dr. Jeffrey M. Leiden of Glencoe, Ill. and Falmouth; and many cousins, nephews, and nieces. A funeral service has been held. Memorials in his name may be made to the Fernald Association (a vol-unteer group giving assistance and support for the developmentally delayed) 200 Trapelo Rd., Waltham, MA 02452 attention: Doris McDan-iel, or to the Special Olympics of Massachu-setts, Attention: Donations, 450 Maple Street, Building 1, Danvers, MA 01923.

John W. Walsh III, aka Captain Jack, a sum-mer resident of Duxbury, died on Sept. 2, at the age of 94 at the Kaplan Family Hospice House in Danvers, surrounded by his family.

Mr. Walsh grad-uated from Boston University in 1940 with a BS and lat-er with a Masters of Education in Secondary School Counseling. His career as an educa-tor began in 1939 as a teacher/coach at Marshfield High School where he met his future wife, Helen Cora Chase,

the home economics teacher and cheerleader coach. Walsh actually proposed to his wife at a restaurant in Snug Harbor that is long-since gone. He served as a physical fitness officer in the United States Army Air Corps during World War II, attaining the rank of Captain. After the war, he taught and coached at several New Eng-land private schools until 1952 when he took a job in Melrose.

In addition to working as a teacher, coach and counselor at Melrose High School, Walsh was also a head football coach, track and base-ball coach, but when his wife was diagnosed with severe emphysema, he had to minimize his time away from home. He finished his Mas-ter’s degree at Boston University and became a guidance counselor, then director of guidance and head counselor until his retirement.

Walsh also spent more than twenty years di-recting various summer camps in Maine, New Hampshire and Massachusetts accompanied and assisted by his wife and children. From

1955 to 1958 he became the camp director for Camp Chappa Challa, remnants of which can still be seen today on Powder Point. The Walsh family enjoyed three summers in this setting before Mr. Walsh took a job at a summer camp in the mountains of New Hampshire on the ad-vice of his wife’s doctor who was concerned for her failing health. Many years later, he would return to spend summers with his son Fred and family who had moved to Duxbury in 1995.

Mr. Walsh also contributed to local, state and national guidance and counseling associa-tions. He served as President and Secretary-Treasurer of the Greater Boston Guidance Asso-ciation, President of the Massachusetts School Counselors’ Association, and as a Delegate to the American Personnel and Guidance Associa-tion. He retired from Melrose School System in 1981 but soon took another job spending the next 10 years as an admissions counselor for Merrimack College. Following his second re-tirement he was a life coach to many, including those with Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency, the genetic lung disease from which his late wife died in 1965, and with which three of his four children have been diagnosed.

Mr. Walsh leaves his four children and their spouses: Susan and Donald Ferro of Hume, Va; John IV and Diane Walsh of Miami, Fla; Fred and Pamela Walsh of Duxbury; and Judith Walsh of Smyrna, Ga; six grandchildren and six great-grandchildren. He also leaves a sister, Muriel Cottrell, of Arlington.

A memorial service will be held on Oct. 17 at 10 a.m., St. John’s Episcopal Church, Arling-ton, followed by a celebration of his life. For more information, call 877-227-7931. Memo-rial contributions in his name may be made to the: Alpha-1 Foundation, 2937 Southwest 27th Avenue, Suite 302, Miami, FL 33133.

William Ralph “Bill” Whitehouse of Dux-bury died Sept. 18 at home surrounded by his family. He was 79 years old.

Mr. White-house was edu-cated in Duxbury prior to joining the Navy, where he was a subma-riner from 1947 until 1950. He was a member of the Duxbury Po-lice Department from 1963 until 1970, after which he went to work

for himself in the construction field operating International Excavator until his retirement in 2001. He spent many hours fishing in Duxbury Bay in one of his many boats.

Mr. Whitehouse leaves his wife of 57 years, Lorraine (April) Whitehouse of Dux-bury; his sons, William R. Whitehouse, Jr. of

Duxbury, Paul David Whitehouse and his wife Sandrine of Luxembourg; his daughters, The-resa L. Woodward and her husband Thomas, Sally A. Bolster and her husband Jeffrey, Mary Whitehouse-Kramer and her husband, Patrick, Kathleen Whitehouse-Shields and her husband Jack, Karen Elaine MacLeod and her husband Dennis, all of Duxbury, Pamela Susan Habel and her husband Chris of Marshfield, and Jen-nifer Lynn Tewksbury and her husband Chris of Plymouth; his brothers, Eugene Whitehouse of New Hampshire, Ralph A. Whitehouse of Plym-outh; his sisters, Phyllis Ponte of Middleboro, the late Sandra Gruchy and the late Mary Nudd; 24 grandchildren, one great-granddaughter, and his dog, Buddy.

Mr. Whitehouse’s funeral was held Sept. 22 at Shepard Funeral Home in Kingston fol-lowed by Mass at Holy Family Church. Burial at Mayflower Cemetery will be private. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations in his name may be made to the Duxbury Animal Shelter, 878 Tremont St., Duxbury MA 02332.

Beach Cookout: The weather was perfect: crystal clear and not nearly as chilly as had been predicted, as we gathered on Duxbury Beach for our annual Girl Scout Cookout. Members of Cadette Troop 80331 led the younger girls in sack races, and introduced them to the wonderful world of our huge parachute! Hot dogs cooked over the fire never tasted so good, and of course there were the traditional s’mores that everyone loves. As the evening came to a close and the sun began to set, the girls formed a Friendship Circle for a sing-a-long led by the Cadettes and Marlana Johnson who, as a college student, still enjoys work-ing at Camp Wind-in-the-Pines each summer and recalls many cookouts during her years in Duxbury scouting. The evening ended with singing “Day is Done” and passing the Friendship Squeeze around the circle.

Cadette Catherine Harrison cooked

up what she con-sidered to be the

perfect marsh-mallows for her

s’mores.

Girls line up to prepare for the start of a sack race.

The girls sat under the parachute and were entertained by the Cadette Scouts.

The first big event of the fall will be the 2009 Webelos Weekend at Camp Squanto Sept. 26-27. Webelos will par-ticipate in a variety of activi-ties, hone their outdoor skills and learn some new ones. In

addition, participants can look forward to taking part in ar-chery and BB shooting.

For new Tiger Cubs, the third annual Tiger Safari will also be held at Camp Squanto that Saturday, Sept. 26, from

9:30 a.m.-2:30 p.m. Tigers will participate in games, handicrafts, a scavenger hunt, a nature trail hike and more.

A couple of years ago, Duxbury Rural and Historical Society volunteers were dig-ging up a flower bed outside the King Caesar House when they discovered pottery from the 1820’s.

Since then, Executive Di-rector Patrick Browne has wanted to see if there were any more hidden treasures under-neath the grass at the former Weston estate. But it wasn’t until last fall’s archeological dig at the site of Duxbury’s second meetinghouse that Browne felt he had the know-how to begin an excavation of his own.

“I thought there might be more of that stuff,” he said.

Last October, archeologist Craig Chartier of the Plymouth Archeology Rediscovery Proj-ect led a group of volunteers in a dig off Chestnut Street. The object was to discover, beyond a shadow of a doubt, the location of the town’s sec-ond meetinghouse. Dozens of workers dug pits and trenches, and sifted through piles of dirt. Browne, who has been in-volved in several smaller digs in the past, said he learned a lot from that project, and thought he could apply it to the King Caesar House.

There are very few origi-nal items in the King Caesar House, which has been main-tained as a museum by the Duxbury Rural and Historical Society since the 60’s. Most of the furniture and decor are re-productions.

The back part of the house has been torn up for various expansions of the house and the installation of the septic system, Browne said, but the front lawn has been basically undisturbed for the last 100 years.

A DR&HS volunteer scoured the area in front of the house with a metal detector, and marked any potential hits with pink flags.

“They could be nails, they could be coins, they could be anything,” Browne said.

Other volunteers divided up the lawn into a grid and be-gan cutting squares out of the sod for test pits –– a process that proved more difficult that originally thought.

“That’s what 100 years of groundskeeping will get you,” said Browne.

The King Caesar dig is on a much smaller scale than the Chestnut Street project, although volunteer interest has been high. Browne says he doesn’t expect to find the same amount of artifacts un-earthed as the meetinghouse dig. But he hopes that in trav-els between the house and the wharf buildings, once located on what is now Bumpus Park, workers or Weston family members will have dropped something that will shed some light on the estate’s history.

“Every single day King

Caesar was going back and forth between the house and the wharf,” Browne said. “If we find any scraps or arti-facts we can date back to the Westons, I’ll be happy.”

Duxbury Rural and Historical Society volunteers start to dig test pits in the lawn outside the King Caesar House on Monday morning. The dig will take place all week.

Digging for history – again

Karen Wehner and Monty Healty carefully excavate a test pit at the King Caesar House.

Joan Lyons and Reggie Bannerman work on the Duxbury Rural and Historical Society’s mini-dig this week. Society Director Patrick Browne is hoping to find relics from the Weston family.

Volunteer work day at Tarkiln

The Friends of Tarkiln are organizing another vol-unteer work day on Sept. 26, from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. at the for-mer Tarkiln school on Route 53. The group will be doing exterior painting and interior light repairs; volunteers are invited to bring tools, paint brushes and join the com-munity restoration effort.

professionals are trying to avoid the term “swine flu” be-cause of the negative impact it has on the pork industry. De-spite the nondescript name, the H1N1 virus is a serious threat that has already claimed 11 lives in Massachusetts. Al-though most people who catch the disease only become mild-ly or moderately ill, officials are keeping a watchful eye out for any sudden mutations in the virus and the World Health Organization has declared a global pandemic.

Crowner started her pre-sentation with a rhyme used by health professionals dur-ing the massive and deadly flu pandemic of 1918 (inciden-tally, also a strain of the H1N1 virus): “Flu?/If we but knew/The cause of flu/And whence it came and what to do/I think that you/And we folks, too/Would hardly get in such a stew/Do you?”

“This is our charge,” said Crowner. “To learn as much as we can so we don’t get into the stew.”

She said that due to the high level of cases of flu, both of the seasonal and H1N1 va-riety, doctors won’t be admin-istering tests. Although the flu has many symptoms (see side-

bar), the biggest red flag is a temperature over 100 degrees.

If anyone thinks they have the flu, they are supposed to stay home from school or work until they haven’t had symp-toms for 24 hours. (Seven days for health care providers.)

Crowner said that people can be carrying and sharing the virus even before they get sick.

“That’s what makes influ-enza really tricky. People walk around feeling fine but they’re transmitting the virus,” she said.

The best way to prevent against the virus, Crowner said, is to get vaccinated, al-though staying home, getting rest and hand washing are good preventative measures. There are vaccinations for the seasonal flu virus as well as the H1N1 strain.

The people with the high-

est priority for getting the vac-cine are pregnant women, said Crowner, followed by chil-dren, health professionals and people likely to suffer compli-cations from the flu.

She said a healthy adult can get both shots on the same day. Young children may need multiple shots.

“For kids, it’s going to be a tough winter,” she said.

Crowner said that although there were few serious or fatal cases of H1N1 in the spring, the fall version of the bug could be more serious.

“Historically when we’ve seen a second wave, it has been more deadly and more difficult to deal with.” she said.

“I would love to think this is all hype, but the reality is we don’t know what the future holds so we have to be pre-pared.”

FLU SYMPTOM CHECKLIST

The most important thing you can do to keep flu from spreading in the community is to keep your sick child at home. Use the follow-ing check list to help decide if you or someone in your family may have the flu:

• Does your child have a cough?

• Does your child have a sore throat?

• Does your child have vomiting or diarrhea?

• Does your child have a headache, body aches or chills?

• Does your child have a fever of 100 degrees or more?

If you checked yes to having a fever and cough or sore throat, your child has a influenza-like illness. Keep your child home for seven days after symptoms start or until your child is completely well for a full day, which ever is longer.

If you checked yes to only one of the questions about, or if your child is ill with other symptoms, keep your child at home at least one day to observe for other symptoms. Send your child back to school after he or she has been completely well for 24 hours.

A clean sweep for Duxbury Beach

Dozens of volunteers dotted Duxbury Beach on Saturday morning for the annual “Beach Sweep” cleanup. The event is part of an interna-tional effort to clean and catalogue trash found on beaches.

Kathleen and David Clancy, and Kathy and George Cotter, had a productive day picking up debris and recording what they found on Duxbury Beach.

Kristian Cunningham puts some trash into a plastic bag while other helpers kept track of what kinds of junk the collected.

Mary Beth MacQuarrie brought her daughters Mei and LiLi down to the beach to participate in the cleanup.

Last year, 400,000 volun-teers collected more than 6.8 million pounds of trash in 100 countries and 42 U.S. states, according to the Conservan-cy’s Web site. This weekend was the official kick-off, and cleanups will be taking place all over the world over the next two months.

Locally, the Beach Sweep is organized by Battelle labs and has been ongoing since the event first started 22 years ago. Battelle was involved in developing some of the data collection methods for the world-wide clean up.

“If you can find the source of the trash, you have a better chance of identifying it and mitigating it,” said Battelle’s Jeanine Boyle.

Boyle said last year 200 volunteers collected over 2,400 pounds of trash on Dux-bury Beach.

The turnout was good on

Saturday morning, as there was some wind but not a cloud in the sky.

“A sunny day always helps,” said Boyle.

Some of the volunteers on the beach said they were out as part of a Boy Scout service project.

“We’re helping out for ourselves too,” said Kathy Cotter.

Cotter said she and her son were mostly finding fish-ing debris, such as fishing line, and rope, as well as balloons and lids from food containers.

“Most of the trash is com-ing in with the tide,” added

Kathleen Clancy. “I think it’s stuff the average person couldn’t pick up and take with them, so it stays.”

Boyle said balloons are a major problem on beaches –– last year in Duxbury, cleanup workers found over 480 of them.

“Those are really a danger to marine life,” she said.

Volunteers on Duxbury Beach also find a lot of shore line trash, she said, including food wrappers and bottles.

In fact, the largest trash item collected last year around the globe was cigarette butts, according to the Conserva-tory.

“I think they do keep it clean,” Boyle said of Dux-bury Beach. “We pick up a lot of trash but that’s because we have a lot of great volun-teers.”

Helpers sweep the beach

The Genealogy Club at the Duxbury Senior Center is starting its fifth year helping residents research their family history and genealogy. Join us Tuesday afternoons.1-3 p.m. at the Duxbury Senior Center. Bring your notes and we’ll gladly help you document your family history.

What we have discovered along the way? The fun of discovering your family arrived in “New Amsterdam” in 1640 and they were Huguenots. Or you are a Mayflower descendant and didn’t know it! Come discover your fam-ily story and participate in such activities as “Thanksgiving Genealogy,” where participants create a family tree to share at Thanksgiving. For more information about the club call the Council on Aging at 781-934-5774.

The Duxbury Camera Club will meet the third Wednesday of the month from 7-9:30 p.m. in the Setter Room of the Dux-bury Free Library.

The 2009-2010 season will feature a monthly guest speaker for a “show and tell” or mini-workshop and, fre-quently, a critique of mem-bers’ pictures relevant to that speaker’s expertise.

Topics likely to be covered during the year include light-ing, finding and making pic-tures, and portraiture. Mem-bers will be invited to name additional topics in order to provide a well-rounded pro-gram.

For more information call 781-934-6804 or e-mail [email protected].. Pho-tographers of all levels, wheth-er they use point-and-shoot cameras or SLRs, are cordially welcome.

Our evening family pro-grams were especially popular and well attended. In all, over 1,600 people came to programs this summer. August 2009 hit an all-time high for library check-

outs and since children’s mate-rials usually account for any-where between 46 to 50 percent of all checkouts, you can see things were really busy!

Without your support this wouldn’t have been possible. On behalf of all the families who were able to enjoy these offerings and also from all of us on the children’s staff, thank you!

Help Repeal 40B –––––––––––

An effort is underway to repeal 40B, the law that allows developers to get around Duxbury’s zoning regula-tions by making some units “affordable.” But before

the question of repeal can appear on the 2010 State ballot, volun-teers must collect 66,593 valid, certified signatures on petitions – a huge job!

I urge any registered voter who sees someone with a clipboard, waving a petition, to sign.

To arrange to sign a petition or to help collect signatures, please call Kay Foster at 781 934-6502 (evenings).

So, we are off to quite a shaky start with the school time change,

aren’t we? “No child will be picked up before 7 a.m.” you stated Ms. Skeiber? Then why is my next door neighbor’s child getting picked up at 6:48 a.m. since school started? Do you want to know what number stop she is on the route? I am go-ing to guess “no” because then this will expose the children who are before her on the route who then obviously are being picked up even earlier than this time! “No child will be picked up before 7 a.m.” you say? Then, on the other end, these Alden students who are being picked up so early are standing in the hall for 20-25 minutes at the school? Are they super-vised? Has the union changed their contractual outline that states teachers do not have to start supervising until 10 min-utes before school starts? Are they indeed supervising these kids or is it just 10-15 minutes of unsupervised standing time? Why is one of the high school aged children on my street ar-

riving at the school at 8:10 a.m. when classes start at 8:10 a.m.-8:15 a.m.? Now this mother has to drive her son to school every day to ensure he gets to school on time. Why should these people pay the bus fees for buses that are not getting their students to school on time! Let me ask you, would you pay for a service that is not providing you the service you understood it was responsible for? If all you got was static on your TV, would you pay your cable pro-vider for the service (just as an example)?

I urge all the parents of children who are indeed be-ing picked up before 7 a.m. to please, please speak up. Show up, speak up and stand up at the next School Committee meet-ing for what is right for your child and for you as a tax-pay-ing member of this community. We elect these School Commit-tee members to do what is in the best interest of our children and we are not being heard and we are being misinformed and told “... just minor bumps in the road that will all smooth out.”

We are being lied to, bottom line.

How about this - I would like to present a proposal to ei-ther the Clipper to run an edi-torial on this. Ask one of your reporters to do some actual in-vestigative reporting and follow a bus along its route, filming the route, noting the times our children are being picked up or perhaps even a parent get out a video camera and film when your child is being picked up along with the filming of a re-liable and accurate time piece (i.e. a cell phone). Do you think these films would be allowed to be shown at a School Com-mittee meeting or will they be denied like the informative presentation that the group of mother’s put together this past spring?

Again, please parents, write down your concerns, document the events as they take place, attend school committee meet-ings, be an active voter when the committee elections come up and speak out!

Are kids being picked up before 7 a.m.?

On Saturday Sept. 19 the Duxbury Youth Hockey Organiza-

tion held the first annual “Freeze the Ice” lawn party. It was held at the home of Rudi and Katie Rudicus on King Caesar Road. It was a wonderful evening and we would like to thank all who attended and supported DYH. The money raised will be used to offset the rising cost of ice time for the program. A big thank you to Chris Daley, DYH fundraising director, along with the adult and teen volunteers for all their hard work. We would also like to extend our thanks to The Rudicus family for letting us enjoy their beautiful home for the event. The Duxbury High School mascot arrived to mingle with the guests. Thank you to the Duxbury Dragon for joining in the fun.

Some back-to-school advice for students

Inspired by President Obama’s speech to public school students earlier this month (and we promise, ours will be just as apolitical) here are some words of wisdom

we’d like to share with Duxbury students as they start another school year:

• Be well rounded. Actually, Duxbury students don’t really need to be told this. Local students are constantly defying stereotypes by excelling in both the academic and athletic fields. But this is one of the most important parts of being a student. Classwork should always be the first priority, but joining a club like Best Buddies or the African Service Project, playing an instrument in the band, or volunteering to be a tutor is sometimes as important to a student’s development as learning calculus. Take a step outside your comfort zone and attend a club meeting you don’t know anything about. You might just learn something.

• Turn off the technology. More than ever, young people are connected by technology, from having TVs in every room of the house and a laptop wherever you go, to social networking phenomena like Facebook and Twitter. These things all have their positive aspects, but sometimes it’s good just to turn them all off for a while. Read a book, go for a hike, have dinner with your parents (without the Red Sox game in the background.) Just connect with the real world for a while before you go diving back into cyberspace.

• Work hard. Regrets are a big part of life, but you rarely hear people say, “Geez, I wish I hadn’t studied for that test” or “I wish I hadn’t paid attention in biology class.” In fact, it’s usually the opposite. Being a student can be tough, and it’s only getting harder, as kids of all ages get pulled in a hundred directions at once. But hard work always pays off, no matter what you want to do in life. If you want to be a doctor, hit the books and memorize the circulatory system backwards and forwards. If you want to be a car mechanic, grab a wrench and be the best mechanic you can be.

• Thank your teachers. As adults, most of us retain strong memories of a teacher that helped shape us as human beings, who pushed us when we needed a challenge or reassured us when we needed a helping hand. A teacher can be a powerful influence on a young life, but we don’t always realize it until we’ve moved on, and it can be too late to say thanks. So if you’ve got a good teacher now, be sure to let them know how they’ve affected you. (It can’t hurt to say the occasional nice word to your parents, too.)

–– J. Graeber

King Caesar’s Autumnfest will be held on Sunday, Oct. 4. Presented by the Duxbury Ru-ral and Historical Society, the fourth annual Autumnfest, is a special day for families and children at the King Caesar House Museum.

As in past years, the event will feature food, games, and crafts. Always a special highlight, the Clydesdales from Hobby Knoll Farm will be pulling wagons for scenic rides around Powder Point. The Gloucester Hornpipe and Clog Society will be returning to delight visitors.

A special addition this year will be a “Timeline Living History” consisting of groups of reenactors from various periods. Groups will include the Salem Trayned Band (17th century pikemen), the Hing-ham Militia (Revolutionary

War), the 22nd Massachusetts Infantry (Civil War), the 35th Virginia Cavalry (Civil War) and several others. You might even see a Roman centurion or two.

Due to the large number of families expected, parking for the event will be at the Dux-bury High School. Attendees will then be brought to the King Caesar House by trol-ley. Admission will be $5 for adults, $3 for children (6-12), under 6 free (maximum of $20 per family). Tickets are on sale at the Nathaniel Win-sor, Jr. House or can be pur-chased the day of the event at the King Caesar House.

Police: Local man caught watering pot plantsA Duxbury man is facing

drug charges after police al-legedly caught him tending to marijuana plants — some as tall as six feet — behind a Marshfield home.

William M. Perry, 21, of Bolas Road was arrested on Sept. 10 and pled not guilty in Plymouth District Court to charges of conspiracy to vio-late the drug law, marijuana possession and possession to distribute a Class D drug.

On Sept. 6, Marshfield police found a crop of about 32 marijuana plants, varying from one to six feet in height,

growing behind house in the 300 block of School Street in Marshfield, according to re-ports.

While watching the area on Sept. 10, officers observed two males carrying water pails and beginning to water the plants. Officers confront-ed the men and found a pipe freshly packed with mari-juana at their feet, according to reports. The two men were identified as Perry and Kevin R. Shea, 30, of Marshfield.

Police also found a bag of pot in Perry’s front shirt pocket, according to reports.

Shea allegedly told po-lice he had been growing the plants behind his girlfriend’s house. The residents consent-ed to a search of the home, where police found several ounces of marijuana in bag-gies, along with records of transactions, pipes and other drug paraphernalia, accord-ing to reports.

Both men were arrested and later released on bail. Perry is due back in court on Nov. 15 for a pretrial hear-ing.

Stop leads to arrest for mushrooms possessionA Duxbury man is be-

ing summonsed to court on a drug charge after a state trooper allegedly found hal-lucinogenic mushrooms on his person during a traffic stop on Route 3.

Kevin Sterbenz, 19, of Bassett Brook Lane was the passenger in a vehicle stopped on Route 3 north in Dux-bury on Aug. 18, after a state trooper allegedly clocked the driver going 106 miles per

hour in a 60 mph zone. The trooper pulled over

the vehicle and, according to his report, observed Sterbenz throw a lit cigarette into the grassy area on the shoulder of the highway. Sterbenz was cited for dropping a cigarette or match into a field or for-est.

The trooper then frisked the vehicles’ occupants, cit-ing safety reasons, and found a pill container in Sterbenz’

front pocket, according to the report. Sterbenz alleg-edly said the bottle contained mushrooms, and the trooper later identified the contents as psilocybin mushrooms, a Class C drug. The bottle was confiscated.

Sterbenz has been sum-monsed to appear in Plym-outh District Court on Sept. 28 for arraignment.

Dang! I missed the sign-up day for Duxbury Before and After Dark. I’m gonna

be pretty darned busy, and I wanted to tell everyone all about the town’s Community Education programs so they could all be busy, too. So I called Sandra Coonan at 781-934-7633. She’s the director of community education, and Pat Walsh is the coordinator.

No problem after all. Duxbury Before and After Dark runs ongoing registration for all classes. If the class

hasn’t started, call to see if it’s still open. A few are starting in the next few days, so don’t lollygag. You could miss out on a great chance to learn something new, meet a few people, and have fun. Other classes start later in the term, but you don’t want to lose out.

I asked Sandy my favorite straw question, “Why should anyone go back to school?”

“We think of people as life-long learners,” she said instantly. “It’s a way of enriching life, trying new things, and continuing to grow.”

Sandy wouldn’t plug one class over another, except to mention a couple of new offerings. Zumba is a hot new fitness program, taught by Abby Kazlousky for eight evenings Thursdays starting Oct. 1st at 8 p.m. The DBAD catalogue calls Zumba “a

Maybe losing their home opener was a good thing for the Lady Dragons. Now they know that being the defending state champs was last year’s accomplishment and the bull’s eye on their backs will be big-ger and brighter as the season goes along.

Taking on Silver Lake last Tuesday night in the second game of a doubleheader, the Lady Dragons had their hands full with the Lakers, who kept them off the scoreboard while on their way to a 2-0 victory.

While Coach Emerson Coleman wasn’t thrilled with how his team started its sea-son, he is well aware of the ad-justment period that will take place for his new starters on defense.

That adjustment period seemed to continue in the ear-ly going in Thursday’s game in Scituate, but the Lady Drag-ons recovered and got their of-fense back in gear with a 4-1 win over the Sailors.

“They are starting to get organized in the defensive zone and are a little unsure about getting it up field,” said Coleman. “But as they get more experience, they’ll get more confident.”

Midway through the first half, Duxbury scored its first

goal of the season when junior Melissa Gavin nailed a direct kick over the Scituate wall of defenders and into the top left corner at the 20:22 mark for a 1-0 lead.

Ten minutes later, the Lady Dragons added to their lead when senior captain Cait-lin Burke dribbled her way around two Scituate defenders and promptly fired a shot low to the right of Sailor keeper Alannah Whitford for what looked like a comfortable 2-0 lead.

Duxbury sat back on its heels over the next few min-utes, almost surrendering a goal when a Sailor shot rang off the cross bar and landed in front of keeper Emily Brook.

The second half started much like the first, as Scitu-ate came out aggressively and managed to cut the lead to 2-1

on a Katelyn Fougere with 27:58 left in the game.

The pressure continued on Brook, as the Sailors fired a direct kick over the cross bar with 24:40 on the clock, and forced the sophomore net-minder to make a diving save less than a minute later.

Duxbury needed a big play to stem the tide and they got it from Gavin, who came flying down the left wing and burned the defense, burying her shot to Whitford’s right and tempo-rarily taking the steam out of the Scituate attack.

The Sailors had their chances, hitting the post to Brook’s left on a shot in the box with 11:48 to go, then watching a corner kick deflect off a Duxbury defender and narrowly miss the post.

Any chance of a Scituate comeback bid was put to rest

with 5:32 remaining when the speedy Burke came flying down the right side and cut to her left as she blew by her defender, going in alone on Whitford and firing her shot along the ground for the final score of the day.

“I see us as a very bal-anced team with a lot of kids who will chip in and do some scoring. But when you have players like Gavin and Burke who can make a big difference in every game, they need to do it and they did today,” said Coleman.

After entertaining Whit-man-Hanson Tuesday night, the Lady Dragons are ready to begin a string of four away games that start on Thursday afternoon when they travel to North Quincy to take on the Red Raiders at 4 p.m.

Final tea ceremonyThe final tea ceremony presentation of the season at

The Art Complex Museum at Duxbury is sched-uled on Sunday, Sept. 27, at 2 p.m. The ceremony

is presented in the Wind in the Pines Hut which was built for the museum in Kyoto, Japan, and reassembled on the mu-seum grounds.

Admission is free but seating is limited and available on a first-come basis. Guests are advised to dress with weather conditions in mind. In case of extreme heat or rain, the cer-emony will be performed in one of the museum’s air-condi-tioned galleries.

fun, energetic workout based upon traditional Latin rhythm and choreography.” It’s a workout that feels like a party, and Abby’s bio mentions that she “had the honor of training with Beto, who founded and developed Zumba.”

Sandy also mentioned Yoga Flow, a class offered in two blocks of eight sessions, but in the afternoon (4-5 p.m.) starting on Thursday, Oct. 1. The second session starts Thursday, Dec. 3 at the same time. Taught by Susanne Hallisey, this type of yoga is the “vinyasa style, or flow based … which will combine breath and yoga movements and stretching. It will also focus on the breath and on meditation as a means to achieve a sense of deep relaxation.” Bring your own yoga mat and water.

Cooking, languages (French and Spanish this time around) computer skills, and everything from high finance to high-flying angels round out the course offerings and topics. Community education can truly expand your mind, or at least your horizons. Many classes are one time only, so the time commitment is minimal. Attorney Brian Barreira, for example, teaches a one-night class regarding estate taxes and nursing home issues.

Too young to never be too old? Duxbury Before and After Dark offers a rich collection of classes for kids from Kindergarten through high school. Many of these classes run right after school dismissal (at the school, of course), and the subjects run from hard-core practical (Home Alone and Staying Safe) to the most fun you ever had in school (Chocolate Dipping Class).

Classes that meet three or more times require a registration fee of $5 for residents or $10 for non-residents, but this is a one-time charge for the whole term, no matter how many classes you take. Fees for the classes vary, and a few require equipment or other materials. All the basic information can be found at the Web page. Go to the Duxbury Schools page (www.duxbury.k12.ma.us).

The Drew Archi-val Library of the Duxbury Rural and

Historical Society is pleased to announce a new exhibit. Memories of Summers Past: Images from Camp Twin Oaks (1934-1978) showcases pho-tographs and ephemera from Camp Twin Oaks, an African-American summer camp lo-

cated on the Duxbury/Kings-ton town line. The Camp was established by three sisters, Ella (Lewis) Woodbury, Beu-lah (Lewis) Fogg and Lillian Mae (Lewis) Hayes and their husbands. When it opened in 1934, it was the only vaca-tion destination on the South Shore catering exclusively to African-Americans. The pho-

tographs in the exhibit are from the collection of Delo-res Nevils, grand-niece of the founders, and former employ-ee of the Camp. The exhibit is free and will run through mid-October. The Drew Archival Library is located at 147 St. George Street and is open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m.-1 p.m.

Dragons’ DenSports Editor Mike Halloran • [email protected]

By mike Halloran sports editor [email protected]

After going 13-0 and win-ning a Super Bowl title in 2008, it was obvious the Drag-ons would be hard pressed to duplicate their incredible feats of last season.

Playing without the servic-es of his three senior captains and another senior starter, Duxbury Coach Dave Maima-ron has been showing the pa-tience of a saint, as his under-classmen-laden football team continued its learning process in Thursday night’s 14-0 loss to Plymouth North.

Despite what looks like a season already gone south, in reality it is far from being so dire, as playoff berths are only determined by league games; none of which have occurred in Duxbury’s first two losses.

While the offense has struggled, the Duxbury de-fense has done a solid job in keeping the Dragons in both games, improving every play and showing that with some game experience under its belt and the return of Bobby Murphy (RB), Pat McWil-liams (WR), and Matt Savard (WR) in the coming weeks, the team should be ready for some meaningful wins come mid-October.

“There’s a lot of coaching going on out there, even dur-ing the game,” said Maima-ron. “We’re young and we

don’t have a lot of experience, and we don’t really have any league games for a couple of weeks. So hopefully we’ll get some of our seniors back healthy and when we get into that league schedule we’ll be ready to go.”

Both teams did little of-fensively in the first quarter, as the Eagles continuously shot themselves in the foot with penalties. Even a Dux-bury fumble on a punt gave the hosts great field position at the Duxbury 24, only to be set back 15 yards by its fourth penalty of the quarter.

Eventually the Dragons kept PN out of the end zone, forcing a 31-yard field goal at-tempt that went wide left.

It was three and out for Duxbury, as Ben Startzell’s punt put the ball out to the Plymouth North 48. Nine run-ning plays later, captain Matt Walsh led his team into the end zone on a one-yard plunge for a 6-0 lead with 6:41 left in the half.

The Duxbury offense wasn’t on the field for long, as the Eagles picked off QB Matt O’Keefe’s pass on first down and added a penalty to bring the ball back to the PN 41.

“We’re so inexperienced. When we have something go-ing, someone makes a little mistake and it makes all the difference in the world,” said Maimaron. “We just have to cut down on those mistakes and get better.”

After letting the Eagles move the ball down to the Dux-bury 24-yard line, the young Dragon defense came up big,

stuffing a fourth-down attempt at the 20 and taking over with 1:17 left in the half.

Expecting O’Keefe to air it out, Plymouth went into a prevent defense, allowing sophomore Henry Buonagurio 29 yards on four carries before time eventually ran out.

Special teams allowed the Eagles to take the second half kickoff all the way down to the Duxbury 38 from where QB Liam Cosgrove directed a six-play drive and hit Ben Tirlia for a 15-yard TD pass. Brandon Parks ran it in for two points and Plymouth North was in a commanding 14-0 lead.

Duxbury had little luck advancing the ball against the Eagle defense and was forced to punt once again, as Startzell banged it out to the PN 35-yard line.

The trio of Walsh, Jamie Wood, and Christian Small continued to eat up big yard-age and the clock for the home team, driving all the way down to the Duxbury 4-yard where the Dragons dug in once again and kept PN out of the end zone.

With 10 minutes left in the game, senior defensive back Rob Kates stepped in front of a Cosgrove pass for an inter-

ception and gave the Dragons some hope at midfield. While the drive stalled, Duxbury did recover the fumbled punt, but could do little with it in its at-tempt to get back in the game.

“This was a tough offen-sive outing, but our defense was phenomenal considering our lack of ability to move the ball,” said Maimaron. “For us to only give up 14 points is a great game for our defense.”

The Dragons will try once again to get their first win of the season when they host Quincy on Friday night at 7 p.m.

Maybe it was opening day jitters for a few of the under-classmen or a lack of warm-up time because of the new later release time.

Whatever may have been the reason for Duxbury’s open-ing day loss to Xaverian, the boys’ golf team has been on fire ever since, ripping off five straight wins that included the best team score in the school’s illustrious golf history.

Entering the week with a 1-1 record, the team was fac-ing four straight days of com-petition that started with an-nual nemesis Sandwich.

What appeared on paper to be a potentially close match turned into a blowout at the DYC course, as the Dragons established a new DHS six-player team score by knock-ing off the undefeated Blue Knights, 229-255.

Junior captain Jonathan Stoddard led the charges by shooting an even par round of

36 that included a pair of bird-ies and five pars, while Curtis Owen (a birdie/6 pars), Billy Curley (7 pars), and Stephan Krall (7 pars) all shot rounds of 38. Freshman Nick Drago (38/6 pars) and James Magner (40/6 pars) rounded out the record-setting performance in which all six Duxbury scor-ers beat the low score of 41 by Sandwich’s Nick Burke.

Coming off their impres-sive performance surely had the team on a high, as they traveled to Scituate on Tuesday and crushed the Sailors with a 30-stroke win (231-261).

The highlight of the match came off the club of Drago, who scored the Dragons’ first eagle of the year when he holed out from 120 yards out on the par 5 520-yard ninth

hole at Widow’s Walk to go along with a birdie and a trio of pars for a round of 38.

Stoddard (a birdie/7 pars) continues to lead the way for Duxbury, as he teamed up with Magner (3 birdies/3 pars) for medal scores of 36.

Curley (39/a bird/4 pars), Owen (40/6pars), and Cam Daley (42/5 pars) contributed to the rout.

Coach Jack Stoddard con-tinues to display the depth he has on this year’s team, as he shuffled his lineup once again while putting Whitman-Han-son away by a 24-stroke mar-gin, 241-217.

Stoddard continued his hot hand with a 32 (2 birds/7 pars), while Bobby O’Brien (34/2 birds/5 pars) and Kevin Kuckuk (35/8 pars) got some

action and showed that beat-ing the Dragons this year won’t be easy.

Krall (38/a bird/4 pars), Magner (39/a bird/3 pars), and Curley (39/2 birds/2 pars) completed Duxbury’s scor-ing on the par-34 Ridder Golf course.

Thursday’s match with North Quincy on the hilly President’s Golf course in Quincy was not as easy as the previous three days.

The Red Raiders had beat-en the Dragons last year, but were without their top player, Peter Eley, who was injured in an accident over the summer. Despite his absence, the hosts gave Duxbury all it could han-dle before dropping a 236-240 decision.

Playing without Stoddard, Owen (2 birds/3 pars) and O’Brien (6 pars) took over with rounds of 38, while Mag-ner (39/5 pars) and Krall (39/5 pars) were right behind.

Kuckuk (41/4 pars) and Curley (41/6 pars) were strong enough to knock off North Quincy’s Jeff Nelson (42) and Justin Keenan (44) that made the difference in the match.

“I think the kids are start-ing to believe in themselves

more,” said Stoddard. “At first they were concerned with shooting a good score because of the competition we have on the team, but now they just seem to be going out there and playing golf and it’s showing in their scores.”

It’s a less hectic week for the Dragons, who took on pe-rennial Patriot League rival Hingham yesterday afternoon, followed on Thursday by an-other league match with Rock-land at the DYC course.

If boys’ soccer Coach John Tocci was a stockbroker, I’d

give him all my money.Predicting his soccer team

would be the best defensive team in the league and would not let in many goals, the third-year coach has been dead on so far, with his team standing at 3-0 and no goals allowed.

When Tocci made those predictions it was based on having a full roster. However, injuries continue to mount for the Dragons, as senior captain Dan Sangster was held out of Thursday afternoon’s game with Scituate until desperate

times required desperate mea-sures.

With Jimmy Landry (con-cussion), Zach Gino (hip) and Mike Gabrielli (broken foot) still in the injury ward, Duxbury pressed early and hard in the first half, with speedy midfielder Morgan Dwinell breaking through the middle to beat his defender, only to have his shot knocked wide by the Scituate goalie.

Senior midfielder Tommy Drummy had the next best scoring bid, as his blast was deflected off the face of a Sail-or defender as it was headed for the net.

Despite the chances, the game remained scoreless at halftime as Duxbury goalie Max Cote and his defense of David Hemingway, Steve Blout, Mark Brady and Pat Charland was hardly tested.

Duxbury continued to press in the second half with a Drummy header near the Sci-tuate goal line being its best scoring chance.

With a flair for the dra-matic, Coach Tocci inserted Sangster at forward with 10 minutes left in the game. Tight-marking, double-teaming Sci-tuate defenders cleared away

Sangster’s first two touches, but a ball was cleared out of the Scituate box and landed at the feet of Duxbury fullback Hemingway.

Sangster checked outside for the ball, drawing his mark-ers, as Hemingway played the ball on the ground to Sangster. The senior captain received the ball and split his two de-fenders, sprinting toward the goal and firing a low, hard right-footed shot that found the back of the net.

Scituate kicked off and Sangster left the game a min-ute later with just over seven minutes remaining, as the Duxbury defense remained rock solid with Cote register-ing his third straight shutout of the season.

After hosting Whitman-Hanson last night, the boys will entertain the Red Raiders of North Quincy High School on Thursday afternoon at 4 p.m.

The DHS freshman foot-ball team is off to a flying start. Two games and two victories, which is nothing new to many of these boys as most of them have not lost a game in over three seasons. The combina-tion of winning programs at Duxbury Youth Football and Duxbury Pop Warner has cre-ated one of the strongest and deepest freshman squads in recent memory. The large ros-ter (about 58 boys) provides Head Coach Mike Armandi

with size, speed and depth at every position. Captains Winston Schromm, Marshall McCarthy, John Geary, Jon Hurvitz and Henry Narley provide plenty of thrills and even more leadership skills. After lopsided victories over Bridgewater-Raynham and Plymouth North to start the season, it looks like Dragons class of 2013 is poised for several seasons of winning football. Games are Thurs-days at 4 p.m.

The eigth annual Dux-bury Beach Triathlon will take place this Saturday morning at 8 a.m.. The half-mile swim, 13 mile bike and three mile run race starts in the bay and fin-ishes at the main beach park-ing lot with 700 triathletes expected. The race sold out in July with well over 100 from Duxbury competing as indi-viduals and relay teams.

The triathlon will benefit the Duxbury Police Athletic League, as well as The Mas-sachusetts Special Olympics, Parent Project Muscular Dys-trophy and the Thoroughbred Retirement Foundation. The JETT Foundation will also benefit from a special raffle for those purchasing a limited number of “DUX TRI” bum-per stickers at registration on Friday.

The Powder Point bridge will be closed from 8 a.m.

through the finish of the run event, approximately 10:15 a.m.. Washington Street and Bay Road will be heavily traveled with cyclists riding in both directions, primarily from 8:15-9:15 a.m. and police details will be working several intersections along the course. Traffic to the beach will be detoured through Marshfield and onto Gurnet Road but will remain open to and from Saquish. Residents are asked to make plans accordingly to avoid traffic delays along the route, especially Hall’s Cor-ner.

For more information on the race and course maps, go to duxburybeachtriathlon.com. Experienced kayaker’s are also needed to assist dur-ing the swim. Contact race director Brian Noyes at 781-706-1166.

Sunday, Jan. 31, 2010: “Mozart Dances” Mark Mor-ris Dance Group at the Opera House Leave Duxbury: 1:30 p.m.

Curtain: 3 p.m.Ticket: TBAOrdering deadline: Jan. 4

Creating dance to the music of Mozart is a famously rare and supposedly difficult thing. Mark Morris, ever coura-geous, has tackled that axiom head on, and on a truly monu-mental scale. With “Mozart Dances,” Morris has created a unique world, at once courtly and folk-ish, pulsing with evi-dence of a great dance archi-tect at every turn. The music for Mozart Dances—Mozart’s Piano Concerto, No. 11; Sona-ta in D Major for 2 Pianos; and Piano Concerto No. 27—will be performed by the orches-tra of Emmanuel Music with conductor Jane Glover and pianists Russell Shirman and Minsoo Sohn.

All prices include the cost of the bus and parking. Con-tact us at: [email protected]

Weymouth-based energy compa-ny Alvin Hollis

has partnered with local youth organization; Crossroads for Kids, to harness the power of solar energy at their Camp Wing residential camp site in Duxbury, helping the non-profit operate more efficiently, while educating at-risk youth about the possibilities of green energy.

“We are always looking for ways to implement ef-ficiencies in our programs and to teach the over 1,000 kids and teens we serve each year in our summer camp and school year programs, how they can contribute to making the world a better place,” said Deb Samuels, executive di-rector of Crossroads for Kids. “Harnessing the power of the sun during the fun ofsummer camp made perfect sense to us.”

Len Bicknell, President of Alvin Hollis, longtime Cross-roads for Kids supporter, and solar power expert stepped up to the plate to help Crossroads for Kids explore how to incor-porate solar power into their current heating and electric system.

“We have been encourag-ing greater use of solar energy for the past 30 years, and we are thrilled to be able to work with Crossroads for Kids to make this transition to solar energy,” said Bicknell,

After touring a sample of Alvin Hollis’ residential so-lar installations and review-ing the incredible benefits of the now complete solar wa-ter heating installation at the Camelot Apartments in South Weymouth which provides

hot water to over 65 units, Crossroads for Kids and Alvin Hollis partnered to install a four-panel solar water heating system on Crossroads’ Camp Wing senior boys wash-house. The wash house provides hot showers for over 80 kids and staff each day, with water had been historically heated by propane.

Despite the rainy start to the summer, Crossroads has already realized significant savings in propane through

the solar energy installation. In addition to the practical benefits, the solar panels are “super cool” and the kids are excited to learn more about how sustainable energy can be a part of their lives in the future.

“Sometimes the show-ers were cold in the past, but this summer my showers are always hot,” said Qante, a camper at Camp Wing who uses the wash house every day “They also look really cool!”

Camp Wing gets solar panels

Everything ElseUnder the Sun

Adopt MeHello! My nickname is Obie, short for Obadiah, one of the lesser prophets. Getting right to the meat of the matter, I am looking for a new home due to the transfer of my family far from Duxbury. I must send my change of address to The Clipper, which I read before anyone else in the family can get to it. I have subscribed for years and don’t think I have ever missed an issue. As I don’t go outside, it is the best way to find out what is happening in town. I am told that I’m absolutely gorgeous. My long, black silky fur is accessorized by natural, silver, fur collar that lends a definite air of dignity. Due to this adornment, you might think I’m a senior citizen, but I’m only about ten and enjoy life to the fullest INSIDE the house. That’s right. I have no interest in going outside. A window ledge is my favorite perch except when my family is dining, reading, doing puzzles, etc.; then I like to sit with them. Did I mention that I can keep up my side of a purrrfect conversation and am very discreet? My favorite possession is my brush. Enough attention in that department means that I have never needed to go to the kitty spa. My life has been pretty wonderful until now that I am in the predicament of needing a new home. I love my foster family, but really need to settle down very soon in my own digs…or palace. My phone number: 781-934-2375. I’m waiting for your call. Love, Obie
