It’s official: The Tarkiln twin schoolhouses are now a historic landmark.

Last Wednesday, amid the bustle of the Duxbury Farmers and Artisans Market that now occupies the front lawn of the school, a plaque was unveiled stating that the school, along with 12 other sites in Duxbury, is on the National Register of Historic Places.

“We saved this building from a bulldozer,” said Terry Vose, a member of the Tarkiln

Study Committee that worked for years to save the property from development, sale or razing. A multi-million dol-lar renovation was defeated at Town Meeting in 2008, but a more modest proposal for $435,000 passed voters’ mus-ter this year.

“Congratulations go out to so many of you for the transformation of this build-ing,” said Norm Tucker, who worked with the town to ob-tain the historic designation. “I can’t think of a better day

At their first strategic plan-ning workshop this week, the Board of Selectmen tried to identify the core values they felt would ultimately be in-corporated into a plan to guide Duxbury’s town government into the future.

At a meeting led by Zon-ing Board of Appeals member Judi Barrett, a professional planner, selectmen brain-stormed words they felt rep-resented the core values of town government. Each board member volunteered his or her

ideas and Barrett wrote them on an easel.

Selectmen are undertaking this project because, under the Town Manager Act, they are charged with goal setting and long range planning. Identify-ing common underlying traits is a first step in planning.

Selectmen Chairman Shawn Dahlen chose the core values of “balance, steward-ship and community.” Select-men Christopher Donato chose “transparency, ease of use, and fairness.” Selectmen Betsy Sullivan picked “impartiality,

A young man from Dux-bury is recovering after being rescued from one of the tallest peaks in the region this week-end.

10-year-old Michael Houghton of Duxbury took a five-foot fall while camping with his father on Mt. Adams in the White Mountain range in New Hampshire, accord-ing to a press release from the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department dated Mon-day, Aug. 23.

Fish and Game officials got a 911 call at approximately 11:45 p.m. on Sunday, Aug. 22 saying that Houghton had fallen and hit his head, los-ing consciousness, and he was taken to Crag Camp Cabin on

Mt. Adams.Fish and Game Conser-

vation officers, US Forest Service staff and volunteers from the Applachain Moun-

tain Club, Randolph Mountain Club and Androscoggin Valley Search and Rescue responded to conduct a carryout, the re-lease said.

The rescue team hiked three miles to Crag Camp Cabin to evaluate Houghton, after which they evacuated the youth. The group returned to the trailhead at 6:20 a.m., according to the release, and Houghton was transferred to Androscoggin Valley Hospital in Berlin for further evalua-tion.

MacFarlane Farms approved despite controversy over title


Question about jurisdic-tion led to some heated words at Monday night’s Planning Board meeting, although a subdivision off High Street was eventually approved unanimously by the board.

MacFarlane Farms is a subdivision planned at 180 High Street.

The developer, Jon Bald-win has been back before the board a number of times, and one of the biggest sticking points for the board has been the fact that a barn on the property is currently sitting di-rectly on the line between lots that would be created by the subdivision. Structures that straddle property lines are not allowed under town bylaws, and Planning Board Chair-woman Amy MacNab said she wouldn’t vote to approve a plan that included this. The fact that the barn may be of a historic nature is also compli-cating the issue.

Also at Monday’s meet-ing Dennis Murphy, who is chairman of the town’s Zoning Board of Appeals but said he was speaking as a High Street resident, expressed some con-cern with the title, or owner-ship history of the property.

“There are issues I think with respect to the title that I think could be cured,” he said.

Murphy presented some material to the board, but his speech was interrupted several times by Baldwin, property owner Ray MacFarlane and Jim Pye, who is a title attor-ney.

“What does title have to do with the Planning Board,” Pye said. “There’s nothing wrong

with this title ... this is drivel.”At one point during the

meeting, Pye left to go back to his office, bringing back docu-mentation he said undercut Murphy’s research.

MacNab said the board was holding a public hearing and that Murphy deserved to be heard.

“I am not a title attorney, I am a volunteer ... I’m just try-ing to understand what the sub-mission is about,” she said.

MacFarlane also took is-sue with any suggestion that he didn’t own the property.

“My wife and I own that land, period. That’s where Mr. Murphy is wrong,” he said.

Paul Driscoll, an attorney who was present at the meet-ing for another matter, said he agreed with Pye.

“Matters of title are not before the jurisdiction of the Planning Board, period,” he said.

Town Planner Tom Broad-rick said there is a section on the subdivision application that deals with title, but the applicant is taken at his or her word.

“It’s kind of like when we see a stamp on the plan ... an RLS or an engineer has said I checked this, and this is OK,” he said. “On the application it says you have to fill out the ap-plication in good faith.”

Other board members said the correct forum for Murphy’s concerns was the appeals pro-cess, since the Planning Board doesn’t have authority to in-vestigate title issues.

“The applicant has made a representation on a docu-ment that was submitted to the town of Duxbury ... that’s all we care about,” said Planning Board member Brendan Hal-ligan. “If a challenge is made it’s not through this forum. I think we should put this to rest

and move on.”Even with the title ques-

tion put to rest, board mem-bers still were not comfortable with the lot line issues, and one attempt to close the public hearing failed.

“It’s putting us in a pick-le,” MacNab said.

Broadrick suggested re-drawing the lot lines to simply go around the barn, but Plan-ning Board member John Bear felt that was the board improp-erly telling the applicant how to draw his property boundar-ies.

Broadrick pointed out that the project has been granted multiple extensions, and the board needed to make a deci-sion by Friday.

Baldwin said that he was agreeable to a condition that no work will be done on any of the three lots until the barn has been either razed or moved.

The Planning Board even-tually approved the subdivi-sion unanimously.

Dennis Murphy explains a problem he believes exists in the title of the MacFarland property. The Planning Board eventually decided the public hearing wasn’t the proper forum for concerns about title after strenuous objection from the applicants.

ALSO AT MONDAy’S MEETING:

• The board accepted the res-ignation of member Harold Moody.

• The board met with local dentist Peter Wiemeyer about parking issues at his prop-erty. Wiemeyer wants to add some parking spaces to his medical building, which he feels will help attract ten-ants. He pointed out that even with the new spaces, he will still comply with the town’s 50 percent lot coverage rule. However, MacNab said he needed to go through the proper process if he wants to add the spaces.

• The board approved anoth-er subdivision, Cushing’s Retreat off Old Pasture Lane.

The issue of parking spac-es and lot coverage has been a hot topic at the last couple of Town Meetings in Duxbury.

Lot coverage refers to what percentage of land a resident or business owner is allowed to cover with something like a parking lot or building. For example, Duxbury’s current rule is that 50 percent of a lot must be open space –– which isn’t a problem for a single-family home with the town’s two-acre zoning rules, but can be a hindrance to businesses that need to fit their buildings as well as parking within that 50 percent.

Two years ago, a citizen’s petition that would have in-creased that number to 80 percent was defeated on Town Meeting floor. Last year, an-other petition that would have addressed the issue again was withdrawn when the propo-nent couldn’t obtain support from the Planning Board or the Board of Selectmen.

A subcommittee of the Planning Board, led by Plan-ning Board member John Bear, is tackling the problem once again, with the hopes of bring-ing a proposal to next year’s Town Meeting that both busi-ness owners and town officials can get behind.

“As you know, we don’t have any public parking ... ev-ery business has to take care of their own,” Bear said.

Currently, the parking re-quirements are different de-pending on the type of busi-ness.

“Banks and drug stores are higher traffic, they require more than a little gift shop,” he said. “That needs to be mod-ernized.

He pointed to a medical business on Tremont Street that has recently run into is-sues with the town regarding overflow parking.

There’s not much disagree-ment that the town bylaw that governs lot coverage needs updating –– the question is simply, how?

An important term in lot coverage is “impervious.” An impermeable surface means something that water doesn’t penetrate, like asphalt. (A per-vious surface would be some-thing like dirt or crushed oyster shells that allows surface water to drain.) According to the by-law, lots that are covered with an impervious surface need a plan to treat the water that runs over the surface.

Bear said that the way the bylaw is currently written, gravel is technically a pervious surface, but for the last couple of years, the Planning Board

and Zoning Board of Appeals have worked together to treat it as impervious.

He said that as people drive over gravel, it becomes com-pacted and water runs over the top.

“Many homeowners have gravel driveways,” he said. “After a while the stone ends up looking like cement.”

Bear felt that some chang-es made at the last minutes to the proposal two years ago might have confused voters. The proposal that got to Town Meeting floor was to change the coverage from 50 percent to 80 percent, and Bear thinks voters may have been uncom-fortable with that number.

“I think they thought the committee was trying to pave the town,” he said. “We’re try-ing to recognize that we’ve got this coverage and you’re cur-rently counting on the good will of Planning and Zoning Board members.”

He said that the working group will have a couple more meetings before bringing a proposal back to the Planning Board and eventually Town Meeting.

trust and economic factors.” Other value words select-

men selected were respect, leadership, commitment, ef-ficiency, honorable, respon-sible, diversity, dedicated and committed.

Barrett asked selectmen to consider how “enduring or universal” each core value was and whether the town would stand for a particular core val-ue 50 years from now “regard-less of changes in the outside world.”

Barrett then asked the se-lectmen to explain certain words they chose in an effort to see if they were redundant, contradicted each other or if they were a good fit for the strategic plan.

All three selectmen dif-fered in their interpretation of the word “balance.”

To Dahlen, the word meant “keeping an open mind and listening to all perspectives on an issue when making a deci-sion.”

Sullivan saw it differently: “Balance is looking at each is-sue and placing it within com-peting interests … realizing its part within the whole,” she said.

Donato felt that balance was linked with other core values such as fairness and di-versity.

“If you look for diverse opinions, you look for bal-ance,” he said.

Barrett led the discussion in a way that selectmen had to think about their answers before responding. She asked them whether balance, im-partiality and fairness were synonymous or related? The board felt these words were related, not synonymous.

Donato said that impartial-ity was “the ability to separate personalities from issues.”

Sullivan said that fairness

was not always achievable: “Fairness is something you try to achieve but it’s not always a deliverable,” she explained.

Selectmen also offered differing views on the word “transparency.”

Donato chose that word as a core value because he said it meant “being able to explain a decision.”

“It’s communicating so people understand,” he said. “It’s an attempt to simplify the process so that everyone knows the rules and that we are all playing by the same set of rules.”

Barrett asked selectmen how they would know if they had a local government that was transparent.

“Is it a style of govern-ment? Is it an attitude?” she asked.

Donato responded that he felt it was the “simplification of bureaucracy” and making information available to the public.

Sullivan said she would never expect a town govern-ment to be 100 percent trans-parent because there were cer-tain issues, such as personnel, health and legal matters, that must remain private.

Dahlen felt strongly about including the word “steward-ship” in the planning process. To him stewardship meant “your responsibility to others and to yourself to make appro-priate decisions and to do the best you can,” he said.

To this Sullivan added: “Stewardship is taking re-sponsibility to care for some-thing for the next generation and leaving it better than you found it.”

Barrett asked selectmen to pick three organizing prin-ciples off of their brainstorm-ing list. After some discus-sion Sullivan and Donato both agreed to “integrity, economic and transparent.” Dahlen

chose “balance, stewardship and trust.”

Barrett then led the discus-sion to examining the town’s existing mission statement, which can be found at the bottom of all town correspon-dence, and she asked if it re-ally reflected what the town does and how it does it.

The mission statement was crafted four years ago by town officials, said Town Manager Richard MacDonald.

It reads: “The mission of the Town of Duxbury is to de-liver excellent services to the community in the most fiscal-ly responsible and innovative manner while endeavoring to broaden our sense of commu-nity and preserve the unique character of our town.”

Selectmen felt the mission statement could be revamped somewhat to give a more ac-curate picture of town govern-ment’s role in Duxbury.

After almost two hours of discussion, selectmen and Barrett decided to continue the workshop to another meeting in September, the date to be announced.

Presidential families on Martha’s Vineyard this week of the year is nothing new. In 1993, The Clipper’s photographer Chris Bernstein spent his vacation on the island in August at the same time as President Bill Clinton and his family. Shown here with his daughter Chelsea at age 13, President Clinton shakes hands at the fair with secret service not far behind.

Library seeking cookbooks

Local cookbooks are a great resource for histori-ans since they tell of types of food eaten, its prepara-tion and reflect how tastes change over time. In the History Room we have a few locally produced cook-books and would like to add to them. If you have a cookbook produced by your church or other organiza-tion such as the PTA/PTO and would like to donate it, contact David Murphy 781-934-2721 ext 103.

Many shades of greenThinkinG Green

By dick roThSchild, clipper columniST

While traveling the road to sustainability it becomes ever clearer that many small steps, any one of which may seem insignificant, will take

us a good part of the way to our destination. Granted, a few giant steps such as electric cars, wind and solar farms and caps on industrial carbon emissions will speed the journey. But we don’t have to wait for these advances to kick-in. We can make meaningful progress on our own to reduce fossil fuel energy use, cut pollution and mitigate climate change.

Here are three ways to go green on your own. If you are already practicing one of them, color yourself pale green. Adapt more and you will take on a richer more verdant shade of green.

Save Energy• For the rest of the summer set your air-conditioning

thermostat a few degrees higher. (78ºF with low humidity is surprisingly comfortable for most of us). Then, when the weather turns colder, set the thermostat to 68º F during the day with a bedtime to rising time setback of 65ºF.

• As incandescent bulbs burn out replace them with compact fluorescents (CFLs)

Most shortcomings of early CFLs have been eliminated. The flicker is gone thanks to electronic ballasts and so is the bluish white light, if you choose the proper compact fluorescent. If you want the warm lighting you were experiencing with your incandescent bulbs you’ll need to select warm white CFLs with a color temperature of 2700-3000 Kelvin. Prices have come down. A first quality 60 watt CFL costs under $2. While more expensive than a 60 watt incandescent, the CFL is a genuine bargain because it uses only ¼ of the electricity and lasts 6-12 times as long.

• Wash your clothes in cold water whenever possible. As much as 85 percent of the energy your washing machine uses goes to heating the water.

• Hang your clothes on a drying rack or clothes line instead of putting them in the dryer. You’ll save a basketful of electric energy. Clothes dried outdoors smell good too.

Eat & Drink Smart• Add a meatless meal weekly. If every American skipped

one chicken dinner a week, substituting a vegetarian meal, the carbon dioxide saving would equal taking more than half a million cars off the road.

• Buy from local farm stands and farmers markets. Local produce is generally fresher and, if organically grown, is healthier for you. Because it doesn’t require storage, refrigeration, long distance transportation and supermarket retailing, it saves a lot of energy.

• Don’t buy bottled water. While no healthier than water from the tap, bottled water uses 47 million gallons of oil per year to produce while it generates 1.5 million tons of plastic waste.

Borrow or Buy Smart• Borrow books and movies from the library or book trailer

at the Recycling Center. • Share (or borrow from neighbors or friends) seldom used

tools and equipment.• Check out the Duxbury Mall, Thrift Shop, consignment

shops, garage sales or Craigslist for slightly used items before you buy new.

And, there are lots of other ways you can become greener. Supplement your diet and medicinal needs with wild edible plants (see wildmanstevebrill.com); wear clothes that don’t need to be dry cleaned (saves money, reduces toxic chemical use); make your own cleaning products using baking soda, vinegar, lemon and soap (less money, packaging and better air quality); walk or bike to work (uses no gas, improves cardiovascular health, reduces obesity risk). There is not enough space in this column to explore these ideas more fully, but you can by Googling the above words.

Perhaps you’d like to find out about, maybe even join, a group of neighbors who have banded together to promote worthwhile sustainable initiatives. The group is called Sustainable Duxbury and you can find out all about them at their Web site sustainableduxbury.org. Better still drop in as a visitor at their next monthly meeting at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 1 on the second floor of the Duxbury Senior Center.

Special To The clipper

In a ceremony at Plymouth Airport, State Rep. Vinny deMacedo presented Civil Air Pa-trol’s Billy Mitchell Award to three cadets from the Pilgrim Squadron. Honored were: cadet 2nd Lt. Connor O’Dwyer of Plymouth, 2nd Lt. Lydia Murdy of Middleborough and cadet 2nd Lt. Cameron Myette of Duxbury. It is believed it is the first time in the state’s history that three cadets from the same squadron earned the Mitchell Award at the same time.

In addition to the Mitchell Awards, deMace-do presented the cadets with citations from the State House of Representatives commemorat-ing their accomplishments. Maj. Yaeger also gave them letters from Sen. Scott Brown thank-ing them for their service.

deMacedo noted the “hard work and dedi-cation” that they put in to achieve the awards

and said, “It is always a pleasure to visit Pil-grim.”

The Pilgrim Squadron meets every Tues-day evening at Plymouth Airport. Visitors are welcome.

Civil Air Patrol, the official auxiliary of the U.S. Air Force, is a nonprofit organization with 58,000 members nationwide. CAP performs 90 percent of continental U.S. inland search and rescue missions as tasked by the Air Force Res-cue Coordination Center and was credited by the AFRCC with saving 91 lives in fiscal year 2008. Its volunteers also perform homeland security, disaster relief and counter-drug mis-sions at the request of federal, state and local agencies.

To learn more about CAP or the Pilgrim squadron, visit the squadron Web site at Plym-outhCAP.org.

The Duxbury Fire Depart-ment has invested in new tech-nology that will assist the de-partment in sending out bills for ambulance services, and will also allow easier access to patient records.

In the past, Fire Chief Kevin Nord said in a written statement, firefighters had to handwrite forms to document patient care and to bill for ser-vices.

“Not everyone has legible handwriting,” Nord said. “This is further complicated by rush-ing to complete data because of other calls.”

The town invested $40,000 in the technology through the department budget. The equipment includes a laptop computer that allows firefight-er/paramedics to quickly enter billing data, as well as pull up patient data and medical histo-ry. The data is also encrypted and can only be accessed by firefighters with a passcode, which ensures greater compli-ance with HIPPA rules.

“The speed will ensure the town gets what it is owed from the insurance companies,” Nord said.

He added that having the data electronically will allow better quality control and will assist the department in man-aging all EMS-related activi-ties.

Duxbury Firefighter Kirsten Piper is helping train her fellow firefight-ers on the new technology, which will help streamline the billing process for ambulance runs.

[to unveil the plaque] when this building is so very much alive.”

The renovation project at Tarkiln has been underway since last year with the use of volunteer labor and donations to paint the exterior and with the installation of a new roof and new septic system.

Tarkiln consists of two one-room schoolhouses built in 1871 and 1908 respective-ly. The two halls were joined in 1926 via a middle build-ing containing bathrooms and a basement. Tarkiln was used as a school until 1949 when it became a youth center and fi-

nally a community center.Until its closure in 2006,

Tarkiln was used seven days a week by numerous commu-nity groups for meetings and activities.

Vose thanked Town Man-ager Richard MacDonald for “being the first cog in the wheel” in the process of get-ting the building on the his-toric register.

“It’s one of the defining features of the town,” Vose said of Tarkiln. “Once it’s gone, you lose history.”

Tarkiln Study Committee Chairman Tag Carpenter said that thousands of volunteers have helped restore the build-

ing after it had been run-down during years of abandonment.

“I want to thank the citi-zens of Duxbury for voting for the money in the first place,” he said. “We’ve really pre-served an asset for the long term.”

Carpenter also said that it is hoped the building will re-open to the public as a com-munity center in September. The Recreation Department will handle the rentals. Car-penter also said an open house is being planned, and possibly a reunion of Duxbury residents who once attended the school.

ROBERT MCDANIELSales Consultant

A moving photoBy fahy ByGaTe, clipper columniST

The one image from the oil spill in the Gulf last month that I cannot get out of my head is of an oil-soaked pelican. The bird is standing with wings spread

staring straight into the camera. It is so completely covered with oil that it is impossible to tell if it is a White Pelican or a Brown Pelican. Its outstretched wings suggest a sacrificial victim, imploring us to help. I thought it should have a caption saying, “What have you done?”

Many birds died in the oil spill along with fish and dolphins and all the creatures of the marshes and shore. But it is hard to ignore that one hopelessly damaged bird, waiting to die. It seems harder to me because pelicans have always struck me as friendly and trusting of man. They live among the fishermen, stealing a free lunch off the back of a shrimp boat or snatching a pouch full of bait from the bucket of an unsuspecting angler on a bridge. Their movements on the ground seem clumsy and awkward and they waddle when they walk. When they rest on a piling near a restaurant or beach house they seem to be folded up like origami. But have you ever seen a pelican fly?

Long ago and far away I spent some time in Kenya. We were there to see the birds and animals of Africa. We saw so

many different birds that we couldn’t remember them all from day to day but one experience while birding there stayed in my memory. We were standing on the shores of Lake Baringo

looking at the famous spectacle of millions of flamingoes. These were the very birds that appeared in the movie “Out Of Africa” and caused Meryl Streep to reach for Robert Redford’s hand as they flew over the sea of pink around the lake below. They were also one of the very reasons we had come to Africa but what does a birder do after seeing a new and spectacular bird? A birder gets bored. After a while I looked around for something new to marvel at. I looked up and in the African sky far above me was a swirling cloud of Great White Pelicans. They were so far up that I wasn’t sure that they were pelicans at first. Who knew that this bird invented flying? They soared out over the lake, shining white stars against a hard blue sky. They flew in slow, lazy circles that spread across the arch of the sky. They glided on long sharp outstretched wings especially designed for the job. On the ground the millions of flamingoes and other shorebirds muttered and creaked and called to each other. The sound was deafening but the pelicans were living in another universe. All blue sky and white birds and silence.

In the U.S. if you want to see pelicans, Florida is the spot. We host two kinds of pelicans here: Brown Pelicans and White Pelicans and it takes both species to compete with the Great White Pelicans of Africa. Our White Pelicans resemble the African bird but they fish from the surface of the water. They float along like a serene swan and then dive straight down when they see a fish. Our Brown Pelicans “plunge dive.” They fly high above the water and when they spot their lunch, they fold their wings into their sides and hit the water like a dart.

Many birds died in the Gulf disaster and I am not completely sure why. Birds are not as important as fuel right now and I understand that but they are part of a long list of things that are not always important to us. Just exactly how long does that list have to get?

rather unglamorous rural land-scape. Our school campus, the Greentown Yuhua School, is very attractive, but we are surrounded by the very poor dwellings of workers, who were farmers once but are now either construction workers of some of the many new struc-tures going up or suppliers of some services. The dichotomy between those economically more successful and those less so is very apparent.

On the other hand, it is a delightful experience being in this school. We four are be-ing treated very well and have comfortable apartments. Tere-sa, Erin, and Sabrina share one apartment, each having her own bedroom but sharing two bathrooms, a living room and kitchen. I have my own apart-ment, which is quite generous. We use our kitchens only for getting our own breakfast but usually walk to the cafeteria/canteen for lunch and dinner, where we have a choice of dishes. It is rare that we can’t find something we like. Each of us has a card with 200-yuan credit on it, which is subtracted from when we buy our food. My meals are usually 6-9 yuan ($1-$1.40)/each.

We have two delight-ful young Chinese secondary school teachers in charge of helping us; they are doing a wonderful job of meeting our needs at school and also tak-ing us on exciting excursions. A week ago on Saturday “So-phia” (whose Chinese name is Ye Yun Xia) and another teacher, “Donnie,” took us to a Song Dynasty theme park about 1-1/2 hours away. We had fun walking into unusual, fun and funny rooms where everything is distorted; watch-ing acts of different types in the streets, which were built to look like the village cen-ters during the Song Dynasty (960-1279 A.D.); eating a meal at an outside restaurant; watching young people play-ing water games; and climbing a long staircase to a big Bud-dha, underneath of which is a dark “ghostly” trail (I returned to the beginning when it got too dark).

Yesterday Elaine, our other lovely aide, and her hus-band went with us to Shaox-ing, a city about an hour away from Hangzhou that used to be an ancient capital. We did visit the birthplace and home of Lu Xun, a very famous Chi-nese writer of the 1920’s and 30’s, who was first to write realistically about the lives of the people. He has, therefore, continued to be popular since he wrote about the poor life of the common people before the Revolution. There is a whole region of the city named for him; and his grandfather’s

home and his tutor’s home were open to go through. When I lived in Shanghai five years ago, I visited Lu Xun’s last home and a large park named for him on the other side of the city. When I get home, I’ll try to find something of his to read in English.

While in Shaoxing, we also visited the Orchid Pavil-ion, known for several things, one of which is the preface to a book of poetry, written in 353 A.D. The story is that Wang Xizhi, a (now very fa-mous) calligrapher invited over 30 of his poet friends and sons to relax by a mean-dering stream. Cups of wine were floated down the stream. When a cup ran aground, the poet closest to that cup had to drink the wine and write a poem. Among the gathering, 26 men wrote poems on the spot. With the slight effect of liquor, Wang Xizhi flourished his calligraphy brush and com-pleted a preface to their poems. In terms of the content, it is a mixture of scenery descrip-tion and emotional expression, conveying the writer’s inner conflicts and feelings. As cal-ligraphy, the characters resem-ble flying dragons and dancing phoenixes, emitting a vigorous and unrestrained spirit.

Since then this has been considered the best calligra-phy ever written, and the Or-chid Pavilion is a sacred place to serious calligraphers. The ironic thing is that there are only copies of this preface; the original cannot be found. Some people believe that a Tang Dy-nasty emperor (618-907) who admired this preface so much, had it buried with him.

Of course, we are also teaching our classes—or rath-er, Erin, Teresa, and Sabrina are teaching the classes, and I am presenting extra-curricular programs. They are doing a great job with the three groups of teachers. One is a mixed group of kindergarten and pri-mary school teachers; another is made up of primary and some secondary teachers; and the third group is all secondary teachers. Some of the teach-ers live on campus, but many

commute. A few of them are from other cities so are stay-ing on this campus for the two weeks of their classes. I have been visiting their classes and am very impressed by our teachers’ preparation and the Chinese teachers’ enthusiasm.

This past week I presented two after school programs. One was a bingo game of fa-mous Americans. The teach-ers seemed to be quite well informed. Many could tell me information about the 24 icons represented on the board (from Benjamin Franklin to Martin Luther King, Jr., Meryl Streep, and Snoopy!) Then on Thurs-day we sang rounds, children’s songs, and other songs, and danced the Virginia Reel.

This week on Wednesday we will have a panel of our three teachers and three Chi-nese teachers, discussing best teaching practices. I still have a lot of preparation to do for this program. Then on Friday we will have a concluding pro-gram, where teacher-students will put on plays or show some of their work, and we will pres-ent them with certificates.

Look for another letter from Ms. Thanas in a future edition of the Clipper. -Ed.

Duxbury is ‘No place for bullies!’

The No Place for Hate Committee will confront the issue of bullying in an assembly on Sept. 7 at the Middle School. 16-year-old Brigitte Berman, author of the book “Dorie Witt’s Guide to Surviving Bullies,” will be the featured speaker. Ber-man will also speak to interested parents and students at 7 p.m. that evening in the Middle School Auditorium.

“Dorie Witt’s Guide to Surviving Bullies” is a fic-tional account of a girl, Dorie Witt, who deals with many chal- lenges that today’s girls and boys face. Dorie endures the difficult transition from grade school to junior high. She offers realistic approach- es to solving problems and provides a “how to resource guide” from the unique point of a teenager and leaves us with the universal message of tolerance.

Berman wrote this book in eighth grade at the age of 14 because she felt a need to raise the consciousness and take action on the topic of bullying. She has spent the last year tour-ing schools and communities speaking about all aspects of bul-lying.

For more information you can call the No Place for Hate Committee at 781-934-8388, oe e-mail [email protected].

CANDiDATe’S CoRNeR

Neighbors, friends, sup-porters and constituents are invited to a birthday party for State Representative Thomas Calter, on Sept. 9, at the Indian Pond Country Club, 60 Coun-try Club Way, Kingston, from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.

The Committee to Elect Tom Calter is officially call-ing this a campaign fundraiser, with a suggested contribu-tion of $30 to attend. How-ever, campaign manager Arnie Briggs notes that it’s also a good chance to wish the Rep-

resentative a happy birthday, since the event is held on his actual birthday.

“You don’t have to sing happy birthday to Tom to at-tend,” he said, adding, “How-ever, those of us who know him best won’t actively dis-courage anyone who wants to do that.”

In addition to a surprise guest or two, and some lively conversation, there will be music provided by the local band “Connected.” The event will include food, and a cash bar.

Reserve your tickets by contact Amy Belmore at [email protected] or 781-585-5075.

Democratic Party primary candidates Rob O’Leary and Bill Keating will jointly appear at the South Shore Democratic Caucus 10th Congressional District Forum to be held at Scituate High School at 7 p.m. on Monday Aug. 30. The event is co-sponsored by the Dux-bury Democratic Committee.

This forum is designed for interested voters to meet and interact with candidates for the 10th Congressional District presently held by Bill Dela-hunt. The format will consist mainly of written questions posed by attendees which will be read to both candidates by a moderator. Five minute open-ing and closing remarks will be made by each candidate.

This is a great opportunity to personally meet and view the two Democratic Party pri-mary candidates before voting in the Sept. 14 Massachusetts Democratic Party Primary. For event updates and other information visit southshore-democraticcaucus.org.

Yesterday, my wife and I visited a very attractive cluster of

condos in Marshfield for the 55-plus group. There we met many former residents of Dux-bury. All confessed to commut-ing back to Duxbury for their

religious, social and cultural activities. When I asked them why they moved to Marsh-field, they replied, “When we wanted to down-size, nothing like this was available to us.” This makes me wonder why didn’t Duxbury plan ahead for

these former residents. Surely, there’s a demonstrated need. Is it perhaps, that those respon-sible for planning refuse to ac-cept the reality of this exodus.

Don’t forget to seize the

summerHave you gone to Farfar’s yet? Had a Coolata?

Picnicked at the beach? Pitched a baited hook off the Powder Point Bridge?

All those things that in minus-four-degree weather last January, you promised yourself you’d do come June: did you do them yet? Remember when it was so frigid you had to pull on snow boots, down jacket, gloves, scarf, hat, another scarf, maybe a third, just to dash to the mailbox and back? As soon as it turned warm, you were going to paint the shed and replace some missing shingles.

Then in February, you were nipping at the bit to attack your summer chores, when the wind chill factor froze the car doors shut, and clouds dumped three feet of snow on the hood and the car slid on black ice at so many intersections on your way to work you thought for sure you were going to crash into a snowplow or a ditch. On the way home after work it was the same misery, more freezing, more snow, more ice, because it had snowed all the live-long day, the only difference being by four in the afternoon it was pitch dark. You couldn’t wait for summer last winter. Hurry, summer, I’ve got a lawn to put in. Plus, lots of plans for self-improvement: I’ll learn to sail and how to ride English; I’ll practice my French in sidewalk cafes, vacationing in Quebec in July.

Then March wafted in, so unseasonably warm that the lilies pushed up alongside the crocus, only to be blighted a week later when weather returned to normal, that is, driving sleet and stinging rain. We complained, it just hangs on, this wretched weather, winter is so long, and we can’t get anything done in the flowerbed, and we were all traumatized and beaten down and made bereft by the unending cold. Still we all said, we can hardly wait, we’ll take the kids and all their cousins camping for at least one weekend, and we’ll take the telescope out and study the blue moon and we’ll take the dog on long walks at the cranberry bog, around August. And this summer for sure we won’t miss the Rubber Ducky Race.

Also, we’ll take up jogging.Well, then it was April, and May, and the weather turned

warmer, but we didn’t paint the shed in June and in July we didn’t learn to sail. Now is the winter of our discontent made glorious summer by the arrival of August. But September is only a flip of the calendar away. Let’s seize the summer, what’s left of it, or regret it the whole winter long.

–– P. Dostie

By John Britten, Clipper Columnist

Dear Mr. Buffett: I recently read that you were calling a few friends, mostly some fellow bil-

lionaires, and asking them to sign a pledge promising that they would donate at least half

of their net worth to charitable causes. Follow-ing your initial success with

peers such as Bill Gates, film mogul George Lucas and Paris’s grandfather Barron Hilton, I understand that you are expanding your efforts to reach other potential donors. I think this is a wonderful (capital?) idea and thoroughly applaud your efforts in this venture. As I men-tioned to your secretary, please consider me an enthusiastic volunteer to your program and in case you’ve been trying to call me, please keep trying –– Verizon has promised to restore my service just as soon as my check clears.

I am well aware of the sacrifice I would be making in such a pledge and in awe of the sac-rifice that must accompany such a decision by your friends. For example, I understand that Larry Ellison, founder and CEO of Oracle, was one of the first donors to sign up. By giv-ing away half of his net worth, he will reduce his bank account to a mere 15 billion dollars. While he might not have to brown bag it, this could possibly handicap him in any future America’s Cup competition.

Perhaps I should explain that, at the pres-ent, I’m not quite in the same financial league

as Mr. Ellison or Mr. Gates or some of your other friends. (By the way, if this is the reason I haven’t heard from you please disregard that earlier stuff about Verizon.) But, you should know (and I ask for your complete confidence here) that I have detected a distinct pattern to the PowerBall numbers and expect to be join-ing your club any week now. In the meantime, I’m enclosing $5 as a sign of good faith. The phone company can wait. And you needn’t worry about sending me a receipt for this do-nation. My accountant carries numbers in his head for that sort of stuff. In fact, you should talk to him sometime. And while $5 may not seem like much to you, believe me I’m feeling Mr. Ellison’s pain already.

Now I also read that all of your pledged donors are going to get together with you several times a year for lunch to discuss vari-ous strategies for the best use of donations. I very much look forward to joining you for these sessions as I have several ideas that I think will resonate with you. By the way, will the lunch be Dutch treat? Doesn’t matter, just thought I’d ask. And have you planned where we’ll eat yet? I am sure there are many fine restaurants in your town, but if there is one near the Omaha Greyhound station ... Well, just a suggestion. In any case, I look forward to hearing from you soon and just in case the bank has been a little slow on that phone thing, you can always e-mail me at wry-ontherocks.com.

Your friend, John

Selectmen were unclear on how to respond to a let-ter from the Massachusetts School Building Authority asking the town to collaborate on a feasibility study regard-ing a proposed new middle school since Duxbury has al-ready completed a $200,000 feasibility study on conditions at both the middle and high school.

By Aug. 28, the Building Authority wants the selectmen to respond to with a letter in-dicating how the town plans to fund a new middle school.

Selectmen debated on the best way to answer the let-ter and feared that the con-sequences of answering in-correctly would mean being bumped from the Building Authority’s list of to-be-fund-ed school projects.

They were also concerned that the Building Authority’s letter only included the middle school and not the high school; current reports indicate that the town is leaning toward a combined facility.

Selectmen agreed that they could respond by saying that to fund new schools, the

town would have to put a pro-posal before town meeting to gain voter approval and then include a ballot question at the town election for a Propo-sition 2 1/2 debt exclusion, or temporary tax increase, to fund the cost.

The Building Authority’s letter also requested the town provide a capital maintenance plan of the town’s school fa-cilities and an operating bud-

get within 90 days, enrollment data within 60 days and also certified votes of the local funding appropriation within 180 days.

Selectman Betsy Sullivan felt the town’s School Build-ing Committee needed to meet with selectmen to explain their progress and then they could discuss how best to respond to this letter and the issues sur-rounding it.

Building letter creates confusionIN OTHer buSINeSS, SeLeCTMeN:

• Approved a one-day liquor license for the opening reception for the Council on Aging’s Life Long Learning program on Tuesday, September 7 at 5 pm at the Senior Center.

Participants do not have to be senior citizens to enroll.

• Accepted resignations from the following people on town com-mittees: Scott Zoltowski from the Open Space Committee; Susanna Sheehan on the Tarkiln Committee; Adam Goodwin on the Sidewalk and Bike Path Committee.

• Appointed the following people to town committees: Dick Whitney and Marcy Bravo to the Council on Aging, reappointed Patricia Randall and Patty Christoforo to the Municipal Commission on Disabilities; reappointed Pat Loring, Cynthia Ladd Fiorini and Paul Keohane to the Open Space and Recreation Committee and appointed Todd Bartlett and Christopher Hunter to that same com-mittee; appointed Elaine Philbrick to the Sidewalk and Bikepath Committee.

Several Duxbury stu-dents recently par-ticipated in South

Shore Conservatory’s 2010 Summer Music Festival. Under the direction of Music Director Malcolm Rowell, Program Di-recter Ed Sorrentino and guest instructors and conductors, stu-dents from the South Shore and beyond were part of a program with a dual goal: playing music for the joy of playing while also learning and perfecting techni-cal skills.

According to Sorrentino, “The culture of Summer Music Festival is not typical of a sum-mer day program. It is about encouraging the complete stu-dent. We work extensively on technical skills, but we also focus on playing what is emo-tionally pleasing. It’s all about playing from the heart. We know our approach resonates with the kids because we see it every day in their commitment to the music and in the camara-derie of being with like-minded student musicians.”

The Conservatory’s Sum-mer Music Festival allows woodwind, brass and percus-sion students to participate in up to three ensembles (by age and ability) as well as master classes. The program focuses on group rehearsals and musi-cianship workshops that expose students to improvisation, com-position and creative movement while allowing them to enhance their listening skills, technical abilities and overall musical knowledge. The Conservato-ry’s Hingham campus provides state-of-the-art rehearsal and performance space (the Jane

Carr Amphitheater) that creates a professional atmosphere in which students can build musi-cal confidence before perform-ing in final concerts that are open to the public.

Duxbury students who par-ticipated in the 2010 two-week program include: Thomas Blanchard, Christian Dow, Ni-cole Hanrahan, Pat MacLen-nan, Nora Serres, Olav Serres and Cam Tokarski.

My wife’s old friend, John Garand, made a comical, piercing point this past

weekend. “When they reach 80,” he said, “the Garands start talking.”

We were up in Hancock, NH for Old Home Days, where Judi and I have been reconnecting over the last couple of years. Hancock is her home town, and not far from Rindge and Keene where I blew in, met and married her, and blew

out. She joined me in my tumbleweed cyclone until we settled here in Dux-bury. Now her roots feel like mine.

The Marshfield Fair runs through Sunday, Aug 29. If you and your fam-

ily could use some roots, let me rec-ommend the fair. It’s an old story for me. My kids grew up loving the fair’s dazzle, rides, and fried dough, but also the barns and the bees. I try to buy jar of real local honey every year. The bee keepers set up behind the Grandstand, so you may need to ask for directions. Bees forage for nectar and pollen within four miles of their hives, so you know that hometown honey will always taste like – home.

WHAT’S GOING ON HERE?

The rest of the story

By Bruce Barrett, clipper columnist [email protected]

By mike Halloran, sports editor [email protected]

The question has always been asked why Duxbury High School didn’t have volleyball.

With a long and glorious history of girls’ soccer, swim-ming, and field hockey, there appeared little interest in add-ing another fall sport with such a small female school popula-tion.

Once swimming became a combined winter sport with the boys, a fall opening appeared for girls. Volleyball now had its opportunity.

While funds remain a sticking point for most high school programs, there were none available for a start-up program, so getting it off the ground would have to be a grassroots effort.

Duxbury resident Barbara Vetsch had seen what a com-petitive sport it could be for girls by watching her volley-ball scholarship niece. With two young athletic daughters herself, Vetsch took the bull by the horns and started talking it up among friends.

Caren Harrison thought she knew someone in town who would be interested and approached Pam Thomas about her willingness to get in-volved and maybe even coach the program.

It was the opportunity she had been waiting for.

A star player at perennial state champion, Norwin High School, outside Pittsburgh, Thomas took her talents to Wake Forest on a volleyball scholarship where she set nu-merous records and earned All-ACC honors.

Working with Vetsch, they made their pitch to Athletic Director Thom Holdgate, who

thought their plan had plenty of merit and told them to go ahead and get things rolling.

Last week the pair held their first volleyball camp at the Alden School to gauge in-terest in the new program and to see if the talent level would be there to field a competi-tive team. The response was extremely positive on both counts.

Close to 35 athletes showed up for the camp that was for eighth-graders and high school underclassmen, and Thomas was impressed with the talent level.

“The talent level was at a higher level then we anticipat-ed because a lot of the girls are very athletic,” said Thomas. “Our goal was to teach funda-mentals. It wasn’t a try-out. If these girls learn the right me-chanics, coupled with experi-ence, they will have the tools that will help them advance and progress as volleyball

players.”Thomas and Assistant

Coach Danielle Snelling will begin the school program on Tuesday night, Sept. 14 from 6-7:30 p.m. in the high school gym. These weekly practices are open to eighth-graders through juniors in high school who will be allowed to play intramural, while only high school aged players will be allowed to travel for scrim-mages.

The program hopes to be at full varsity status in the fall of 2011.

“I think a lot of the kids at the camp came to see what it is all about and wanted to try it out, while others came be-cause someone in their family played at some point and con-vinced them it was a fun game to get involved with,” said Thomas.

Apparently more than fun seekers showed up, as Thom-as and her staff, that included

well-known volleyball coach Bob Slavin of Sacred Heart High School, were impressed.

“We really have a real good chance of being competitive quickly,” said Thomas. “And we have a talented bunch of eighth-graders too. The expo-sure they will get before they enter high school will be valu-able, and based on what I saw out there, I have some pretty good ideas about how players will fit into the team concept.”

Dealing with girls will be a new experience for Thomas, who has third-grader Rhys and fifth-grader Ethan at home with husband Brian Donnelly.

“I really have a passion for volleyball and I wanted to coach,” said Thomas. “Playing for Sharon Watson, my coach at Norwin High School, was a great experience and she was very influential in my life. This is my way of giving back to the sport for everything it gave me.”

Interest spikes in girls’ volleyball

BEGINNING OF A NEW ERA: Participants at the first-ever Duxbury vollyball camp had a productive week. The program will become a varsity sport in the fall of 2011.

Cape Cod Cottage, by Alison Davidson.


Park in the fair’s parking lot. It’s the only lot that generates funds for the Marshfield Agricultural and Horticultural Society, the folks who put on the fair. Find the entrance on South River Street, across from the Marshfield fire station, and pay $5.

I’ve never succeeded in getting a complete list of Duxbury exhibitors. The database just doesn’t work that way. As you slide through the barns, flower shows, and crafts I guarantee you’ll find neighbors’ names. My quick look through the Poultry Barn found no Duxbury entries, but I’ll have a look this week once the bantams arrive.

For you city slickers, chickens can be standard or bantam (large or small) for almost every breed. They’re all just chick-ens, but like dogs, their size, shape, color, texture, and temper-ament can vary widely. When I visited the Poultry Barn, fair Volunteer Peg Davis was keeping an eye on things. She and her husband Roy live a couple of blocks from the fairgrounds, have a few chickens, and raise bees as well. She showed me the ugli-est chicken I’ve ever seen, a buff Naked Neck. I googled around, and learned that they do very well in hot climates, and are popu-lar as “table birds” because they are quick to pluck. Like me, Peg is never going to follow the poultry production cycle where tired old laying hens become soup, so easy plucking may not be a concern.

This year’s standard poultry show has plenty of birds, but only the Naked Neck is also for sale. Go figure. Like many hob-by farmers, Peg has built tougher protection for her little flock over the years. Eight-foot fencing and netting over the top keeps chicken in, but more importantly, keeps predators out. Dogs, sadly enough, are the worst offenders. A fox or a hawk will take one chicken, but a big floppy dog will take them all, and sit for treat when it’s over. They just don’t understand. It’s the dark side of the “liberty” of free-range poultry.

Here’s a twist for this year’s Fair: the deadline for the Poster Competition has been extended until Oct. 1. Artists in any me-dium, aged 18 and older, must submit their entries on a high resolution disc (300 dpi minimum) to the Marshfield Agricul-tural & Horticultural Society, PO Box 5, Marshfield, MA 02050, or hand deliver it to Karen Biagini at the Marshfield Farmer’s Market on Fridays from 2 to 6 p.m. Call 781-834-6629 for more information. Entry details are on the fair’s Web site at marsh-fieldfair.org. The entry must have an agricultural theme, and all entries become the property of the fair, for promotional and any other use. There’s no entry fee.

I can feel my roots stirring again. I’m not 80 yet, so I may not spill all the beans like John Garand’s relatives, but what a chance to add to my list of yarns to spin with grandchildren and great-grandchildren, God willing?

“Yup. I painted that. Got a ‘thanks for participating’ ribbon at the fair, too, back in ’ought ten. I ever tell you how your mom (or dad) loved the fair? Why, one time…”
