The Zoning Board played the part of King Solomon at their meeting Monday night, coming up with a compromise on a hotly disputed zoning en-forcement case.

The board ruled that the town’s building inspector, Scott Lambiase, was correct in issuing a building permit to a homeowner at 21 River Lane for the purposes of building a guest house. However, they attached some conditions to

the permit, saying that a deed restriction would be placed on the property stating the build-ing could never be used as a permanent dwelling. They also said a dishwasher and washer and dryer would have to be re-moved.

The board voted 5-0 on the motion, made by ZBA mem-ber Michael Gill.

The dispute has been play-ing out between the town’s land use boards for several

Duxbury firefighter facing multiple charges after accident


Duxbury Town Counsel Robert Troy has filed a request with the Massachusetts Ap-peals Court, asking that body to review a preliminary in-junction that is preventing the town from rebidding the man-agement contract for the North Hill Golf Course.

The town is currently em-broiled in a legal battle with Johnson Golf, the company who has managed the town-owned nine-hole golf course for the past several years. In 2009, after Town Manager Richard MacDonald awarded the contract to another com-

pany, Calm Golf of Rock-land, Johnson’s owner Doug Johnson sued, saying Calm wasn’t qualified and the con-tract should have been his. A Middlesex Superior Court judge granted Johnson an in-junction, allowing him to con-tinue to run the course while the legal battle was settled in the courts.

Earlier this year, the town made an attempt to vacate all of the bids, including that of Calm Golf, and start the con-tract bidding process over. Johnson obtained yet another preliminary injunction pre-venting the town from doing this.

In the appeal, filed on Dec. 24, Troy says the injunction

violates “substantial issues of law” and cites specific court cases, saying that Johnson’s entire basis for the lawsuit goes away if the town clears the table and starts the bidding process over again.

Troy said this week that an Appeals Court judge will take the issue under advisement, but there is no specific time-table for action.

In addition to the appeals court case and the original lawsuit, Duxbury has also filed a court action in Plymouth District court to get the case moved out of the jurisdiction of Middlesex Superior. That hearing was continued until later in the month.

Town files appeal on North Hill


A Duxbury firefighter is on paid leave as he faces drunken driving charges.

John Thomas rear-ended another vehicle near the inter-section of Beaver Dam Road and State Road around 6:50 p.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 29, according to Plymouth Police Captain John Rodgers.

Thomas then fled the scene. He was charged with

operating a vehicle under the influence of alcohol, negligent operation, leaving the scene of property damage, and carry-ing a firearm under the influ-ence of liquor. Rodgers said Thomas had a license to carry the gun. He was taken to the Plymouth Police station then transported to the hospital for treatment.

Town Manager Richard MacDonald said that Thomas is currently on suspension

with pay pending the results of a blood test.

“I’m awaiting more in-formation,” MacDonald said Tuesday.

Thomas was a Duxbury special police officer as well as a firefighter, although he has resigned from that position.

Duxbury firefighters have a clause in their contract stat-ing they can be terminated from their positions if they lose their license.


Duxbury Police are looking for an armed man suspected in a Wednesday morning robbery at Osborne’s on Route 53.

Around 10:30 a.m., police got a call about an attempted robbery at the gas pumps at Osborne’s, Chief Matthew Clancy said.

Tom Chantre, Jr. said he was walking up to a white SUV that had pulled up to the pumps when a man rolled down the window and brandished a gun. The man, who was wearing a ski mask, demanded cash.

“I told him to get the hell out of here,” Chantre said, add-ing that he immediately started running in the opposite direc-tion.

Chantre didn’t get a good look at the man, or what type of handgun he was carrying, but said he seemed young.

“I didn’t chase him off, but I guess he was glad to leave,” Chantre said.

Clancy said the depart-

ment’s assessment of the situ-ation was “very preliminary” and that they were unclear in which direction the SUV and the single driver had fled.

“He realized he wasn’t go-ing to get anything and drove off,” Clancy said.

Chantre, who has been working at Osborne’s for 10 years, said nothing like this has ever happened to him before.

An Osborne’s employee was working the pumps when a man with a ski mask stuck a gun in his face and demanded cash.

The next director of the Duxbury Free Library will be a familiar face –– especially to anyone who attends the li-brary’s popular Sunday Salon series or other events.

Carol Jankowski, who had been the library’s director of circulation, has been appoint-ed to replace outgoing director Elaine Winquist.

Jankowski has been with the Duxbury Free Library since 1997. However, her career in library services started about 25 years ago at the John Curtis Library in Hanover, where she worked part time.

“I’d always been interested in libraries, but I wasn’t neces-sarily on the career path to be-come a professional librarian,” she said.

Jankowski’s undergradu-ate degree is in sociology, and she had worked at the Brain-tree Council on Aging before going to Hanover.

“I have been a lifelong, passionate reader and inter-ested in all types of literature and poetry,” she said. “In my family, public libraries have always been promoted as just the greatest place in town.”

Once she started at the Curtis, she knew she had found her life’s work.

“I felt like I had found my professional home,” she said.

In 1997, she was hired at the Duxbury Free Library –– which at the time was located in the Wright Building as the library staff prepared for a move into new headquarters in the old high school. She met the former library director in a graduate school program and learned Duxbury’s head of circulation was retiring. There was also a buzz around the new building.

“I was able to help to de-fine my own role, and I got to hire some great new staff,” she said.

In addition to her role in the circulation department –– one of the busiest departments at the library –– Jankowski

started to organize speaking events at the library, such as visits from authors and other experts, often in partnership with the locally-owned book-seller, Westwinds Bookshop.

“Because we had the space and facility, and we had the community asking for more programs and services, I start-ed to expand my role,” she said.

Jankowski also said that she and the other librarians are fortunate to work in a support-ive community like Duxbury.

“Duxbury is a very edu-cated community, people have high standards and high ex-pectations of what they want both from their schools and their library services,” she said. “We are fortunate to be in a community that supports their library at a very substan-tial level.”

As far as making her own stamp on the library, Jankows-ki is helping to develop a new five-year strategic plan for the library. The plan is centering around three main concepts: The library as commons, pro-viding current topics and titles and information literacy.

The idea of “library as commons” involves a vision of the library as a central place for people to gather and share ideas and common interests.

“A library ... helps address the need of people to meet and interact with people in their community,” she said. “There’s still that humanistic need to have a place to gather.”

The technology piece will also be important for the library moving forward. Jankowski pointed out that the computer lab on the upper floor of the library is being used almost constantly, and said the library is a place people come to gain computer and technology lit-eracy.

“We try to link people up with the best information,” she said. “We’re really in the posi-tion of trying to stay abreast of the emerging technologies, re-view them, then make decision about how they will integrate

into the public library world, and what can be affordable.”

For example, the latest hot item in the library world is e-books. The Duxbury Free Library has many such books available, and they can be downloaded and managed us-ing a service called overdrive.

Jankowski also gave credit to Winquist for the library’s success.

“I am stepping into a role that has been wonderfully developed and managed by the outgoing director,” she said. “She’s taken this library and built a team of incredible staff.

Although she wasn’t di-rectly involved in the selec-tion process for the new direc-tor, Winquist said she always knew Jankowski would be a stellar candidate.

“She rose to the top during the whole search process,” she said. “I knew she was going to shine.”

Winquist has been the Duxbury Free Library’s direc-tor for 11 years, working in the reference department for about a year and a half before that.

Like Jankowski, Winquist talked about being lucky to live in a community where people make such good use of the li-brary. She also said she was happy with her accomplish-ments in technology, pointing out the reference department has more PCs and databases than books these days.

“Technologies ... have changed the way we offer in-formation,” she said.

She said she will miss the camaraderie of the library staff as well.

“I’m most proud of the fact that all of the staff really likes to come to work,” she said. “Truly, we have a good time.”

Jankowski said she hopes to continue expanding the programs like Sunday Salon, and is looking forward to the future.

“It’s been a pretty remark-able, wonderful experience so far, and I assume it will con-tinue,” she said.

Incoming Duxbury Free Library Director Carol Jankowski stands with current Director Elaine Winquist, who will be stepping down this month. Jankowski is currently the director of circulation, but wears other hats such as coordinating the library’s speaker series. She has been at the DFL since 1997.

Confusion over a Town Meeting article to terminate insurance benefits for elected officials has led the Board of Selectmen to seek clarifica-tion from town counsel.

Selectmen decided in No-vember they liked the idea of saving the town $60,000 by eliminating health and life insurance benefits for part-time elected town officials including themselves, so they placed an article on the 2011 Town Meeting warrant to ac-complish this.

Selectmen Chairman Shawn Dahlen brought the idea before the board, noting that other area towns, such as Plymouth, recently voted to end health insurance for part-time elected officials who receive financial compensa-tion.

In Duxbury, seven part-time officials people are paid small salaries and may take advantage of the health care. They include the select-men, assessors and the town moderator. The moderator is given $40, chairmen of the boards of selectmen and as-sessors receive $2,000, and board members are given $1,500.

All three assessors and one selectman are enrolled in the town’s health care plan. The town covers 75 percent of the health care premium and active employees pay 25 percent

The article as presented

would revoke the eligibility for benefits of the selectmen, assessors and the town mod-erator, however it would not eliminate their compensa-tion. Earlier, selectmen had discussed eliminating these payments.

The article does not elimi-nate benefits for any currently serving official who receive them or any retirees who take advantage of the benefits, but it would require them to pay 100 percent of the costs of participation. Upon the end of the elected official’s term, the benefits would expire.

In discussing the article Monday night, selectmen found they had more ques-tions than answers and de-cided they needed the advice of town counsel Robert Troy, who crafted the language in the article.

Selectman Betsy Sullivan wondered why the article sought a home-rule petition from the state legislature in order to remove the benefits.

Also, she felt that the way the article was written would prevent it from receiving approval from the attorney general. If this were the case, then it would be disruptive to those elected officials who receive health insurance, she said.

“I’d rather get it right the first time,” said Sullivan.

Selectmen also wondered if their financial compensa-tion would be eliminated and whether it would be part of this article or Article 3,

which funds the payments for selectmen, assessors, the town moderator and the town clerk. The town clerk’s posi-tion, salary and benefits are not affected by the proposed benefits elimination article.

Selectmen tabled further discussion on this article un-til they received information from Troy.

In other Town Meeting-related actions, selectmen decided to delete two articles from the warrant:

• Selectmen removed an article that would have raised the inn holder license fee from $25 to $50 saying it only affected one inn in town. They said they would rather raise this fee at the same time they increase the common victuallers’, or food service, permit fees.

• Selectmen deleted an article to disband the Percy Walker Pool Committee and instead took this action them-selves, voting unanimously to eliminate the Percy Walker Pool Long-Range planning committee. This committee was established at the 2006 annual Town Meeting and is no longer active since the town pool was renovated last year.


Planning Board member Brendan Halligan recently announced that he will not be seeking re-election.

The announcement cre-ated a vacancy for a five-year seat on the Planning Board. Brian Glennon, who was ap-pointed earlier this year to fill the unexpired term of Harold Moody, has taken out papers to fill the remainder of that unexpired term (two years.)

Last month, Betsy Sul-livan announced that she would not seek re-election to the Board of Selectmen.

“I’ve had an amazing ex-perience doing this for three terms but change is good, and I think it’s time that new folks come and sit in this chair,” said Sullivan at a Board of Selectmen meeting in early December. “I thank you all for the chance to serve the town for the past nine years.”

Ted Flynn has taken out

and returned papers to run for the seat, a term of three years.

In other election news, Maureen Connolly has taken out papers to retain her three year term on the School Com-mittee. Current school board chairwoman Anne Ward is also up for re-election but has not yet taken out papers, ac-cording to the town clerk’s office.

Friend Weiler, Sr., has also taken out papers to keep his position as town modera-tor, a year-to-year office.

Flynn stepped down from his seat on the library board of trustees to run for select-man, and Lamont Healy has taken out papers to run for the unexpired term of two years. Donna Ryan has also taken out papers to run for one of two three-year terms on the trustee board.

Other open offices include one assessor for three years, and two five-year terms on the Duxbury Housing Authority.

“That’s what really got the thing done,” said Tag Carpen-ter, chairman of the Tarkiln Committee, of the contribu-tions from the community.

The project has been a long time coming for Susanna Sheehan, who has been in-volved in some respect since the early part of the decade, when she and others brought a renovation project before the newly-formed Community Preservation Committee that was eventually withdrawn. Since then, she has served on the Tarkiln Committee as well as the Friends of Tarkiln.

“I love old buildings, and since moving to Duxbury 16 years ago, I’ve become in-volved in the historic preser-vation of buildings,” she said. Tarkiln was one of the build-ings she wanted to see restored –– it was being rented out at the time, but it was in tough shape.

“In my mind, there was never a question as to what the building would be used for,” she said. “It would continue to be used as a community cen-ter.”

Now, several years later, Sheehan is excited for the building’s possibilities. She sees the building being used for such varied things as public meetings, wedding receptions, rehearsal space, or even as a place to host a cocktail party or a gallery showing.

“It can lend itself to any-thing you can imagine,” she said.

There will be an open house on Saturday, Jan. 8, from 12-2 p.m. at the building. Visitors can see the restored community center, which in-cludes a north and south room, which can be rented separate-ly or as one unit, as well as a small conference room off the north hall. Rentals are ar-ranged through the Recreation Department.

At annual Town Meeting in 2009, voters approved a $435,720 renovation plan (a costlier proposal was defeated at Town Meeting in 2008) for the two-room former school-house on Route 53.

The money from the town was supplemented by volun-teer labor, and with increasing importance towards the end of the project, contributions from local businessmen includ-ing Sheehan’s husband, Em-mett, who helped coordinate the craftsmen. Many of the workers donated their time or worked for less than their nor-mal rates.

The Friends group also raised $3,300 to help defray some of the labor costs.

The restoration work started small, with an external coat of paint. But committee members say that simple act made the building more attrac-tive and caught the attention of neighbors and other resi-

dents, including parents bring-ing their children to baseball games at the nearby fields.

“Talking about it a little bit, that really got it going,” said Terry Vose. “Everybody driving by knows this place is used.”

He added that the farm-ers market, held for two sea-sons in front of the building, provided additional exposure. Sustainable Duxbury also do-nated some trees for this area.

In the south room (the room to the right if one is looking directly at the Tarkiln), work-ers restored the original floors, added historically-appropriate (although not original) light-ing and added a handicapped ramp. Carpenter said the hand-icapped accessibility issues were some of the most chal-lenging faced by the restorers.

In the room there are also original windows, the resto-ration of which was donated by Linda Kucera of Hing-ham. Workers also removed several layers of paint from some chalkboards that lined the room, which was used as a school until 1949.

“This really got the lion’s share of the usage [as a com-munity center],” said Carpen-ter.

Sheehan is particularly proud of the lighting, which isn’t period (the school was built before electricity) but has a turn-of-the-century look.

“The south hall still re-tains its schoolhouse flavor,” she said.

Connecting the two rooms is a corridor that was com-pletely gutted and rebuilt dur-ing the restoration, according to Carpenter. The bathrooms, including the plumbing, were completely redone, and the floor in the corridor is an ep-oxy that was donated by a lo-

cal company, Duromar. There is also an entrance to the building off the corridor, near the parking spaces.

In the north room, dark panelling was removed an re-placed with a lighter-colored wainscoting. The entrance to the building’s kitchen, which used to be off the north room, was moved to the corridor.

The kitchen won’t be com-pleted by the time the building reopens, Carpenter said, al-though his committee hopes it will be rebuilt eventually.

“It will be a continued project by the volunteers,” he said.

There is some debate about how large a kitchen is needed, he added.

The north room also con-nects to a smaller conference room that can be rented inde-pendently of the two larger rooms, Carpenter said.

Carpenter said the Tarkiln’s historic appeal is what sets it apart from other public spaces around town.

“We’ve preserved as much of the historic nature of the building as we possibly could,” he said. “It’s a balance of usability and historic accu-racy. ... we’re not trying to cre-ate a museum.”

At a previous Board of Selectmen meeting the board unanimously voted that rent-ing either of the two halls at Tarkiln will cost $35 for the first three hours and $10 an hour for each additional hour. Rental of the entire building will cost $105 for a three-hour minimum and $30 an hour thereafter.

The board also voted to set the $35 per three hour rate to rent the exterior of the building for events and promised that they would revisit these fees once the building was opened and they had actual usage fig-

ures. The previous rental rate at Tarkiln was $4 an hour.

Vose gave a brief update on the Tarkiln Community Center Monday night. Vose thanked the selectmen and singled out Town Manager Richard MacDonald for help-ing kickstart the volunteer ef-fort when he gave his permis-sion for the volunteers to paint the building’s exterior a few years ago, which gave he old schoolhouse a much needed exterior facelift.

“Peter Buttkus has been phenomenal too,” Vose said.

He explained that the project happened with careful budgeting of the Community Preservation Acts funds.

“People who haven’t been in the building are going to be shocked ... The place is stag-geringly beautiful.”

Sheehan hopes that Sat-urday’s open house will show that the town’s investment was a good one –– recalling one voter at a past Town Meeting who suggested the building be used by the fire department as a practice burn.

“We’re hoping to bring people into the building and change their minds,” she said. “The town’s getting a very unique and unusual building.”

PRE-OWNED


Jeffrey Richardson Hewitt died suddenly on Dec. 23 of a ruptured aortic aneurism at his home in Marshfield. He was 59 years old.

Mr. Hewitt was born in Boston and grew up the second of five sib-lings in Wellesley. He attended Wellesley pub-

lic schools and Milton Academy, while spend-ing summers in Marshfield and Duxbury. He particularly loved to play tennis and sail on Duxbury Bay. He graduated as valedictorian of Milton Academy in 1969 and matriculated to Columbia University. He transferred to the College of Creative Studies at the University of California at Santa Barbara. He graduated with a B.A. in English in 1974.

Mr. Hewitt returned to New England to pur-sue his career as a writer. He married Christine Lehner in 1976. Their daughter, Reine, was born in 1978, and their son, Tristram, was born in 1981. The family moved to Hastings, N.Y. where he lived until 2001, when he and Chris-tine divorced. He moved back to Marshfield be-fore settling in Dobbs Ferry, N.Y. in 2006.

Mr. Hewitt had a varied career as a writer, nurse, lawyer, activist and visual artist. He vol-unteered as a grief counselor for young children who had lost their parents. He worked as an I.C.U. nurse at Columbia Presbyterian Hospital from 1981 to 1988, where he helped author a number of stroke research studies.

Mr. Hewitt began studies at Columbia Law

School in 1987. He graduated as a Harlan Fiske Stone Scholar and then worked as a law-yer at Cahill, Gordon & Reindel for three years. Next, inspired by an opportunity to combine his interests in healthcare and law, he accepted a position at New York Life Healthcare. After a corporate merger in 1998, he stopped practic-ing law and returned to the creative life. Since 1998, he enjoyed life as a professional visual artist, taking tens of thousands of photographs, developing digital collages, and creating hun-dreds of paintings. His work appeared in solo and group shows in New York and Massachu-setts.

He also pursued his passion for care-giving and legal advocacy through work with non-profit organizations. At the Pace University Lienhard School of Nursing, he advocated for palliative care education. At the Bereavement Center of Westchester, he offered legal advice as a board member. At Planned Parenthood, he combined his nursing and legal skills to cham-pion women’s reproductive rights.

He leaves two children, Reine and Tristram Hewitt; his mother, Emmy Lou Hewitt; his four siblings, Robert, Bill, Lee, and Charles Hewitt; and his granddaughter, Leda.

A memorial service will be held for Mr. Hewitt on Jan. 8 at 1 p.m. at the First Parish Church, 842 Tremont St., Duxbury. A recep-tion at the Duxbury Bay Maritime School will follow. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to Planned Parenthood Hudson Peconic 4 Skyline Drive, Hawthorne, NY 10532, pphp.org/donate.

If you have lived in Duxbury for any amount of time you

have probably heard the name Ed Mayo down by the water-front. Growing up in Duxbury has many advantages to other parts of the world and one of them is the ability to become an accomplished sailor. On June 26, Mayo will embark on the longest race to his credit as he has signed on for the 2011 Transatlantic Race.

The 2011 Transatlantic Race leaves from Newport, Rhode Island and sails to “the Lizard” in Portsmouth Eng-land. It is estimated that the trip will take 17 days total if the conditions forecasted hold.

“We have already started planning what gear, food and sails to bring,” said Mayo re-garding the fact that there is limited storage on the boat for such a long trip.

The boat is a hybrid cus-tom Hinckley SW42 and has a reputable race history with strong finishes in the Newport to Bermuda and Marblehead to Halifax Races. The boat will be one of the smaller to enter the race since boats will

compete that are over 200 feet in length. There is a correction implemented to allow for the difference in size and speed. This means that Mayo’s team can still win the race overall on corrected time.

Mayo started sailing before he could remember and has a sailing resume not typical of most 33-years-olds. Previous accomplishments include the Marblehead to Halifax Race, Newport to Ensenada Race, multiple Newport to Bermuda races, the Miami to Montego Bay Race and thousands of de-

livery miles. In addition to his offshore sailing credentials he was captain of the University of New Orleans Sailing Team, one of the first sailing coaches at DBMS, the first Duxbury High Sailing Coach to receive National Honors, coached at Bowdoin College and was the program director at the Harra-seekett Yacht Club in Freeport, Maine.

As the race time gets clos-er to the start date, people will be able to track the progress of the race at transatlanticrace.org.

The Duxbury School Building Committee will inter-view four architectural firms in February public meetings in the Duxbury Middle School audi-torium. Flansburgh Architects, Ai3, Mount Vernon Group and SMMA have designed and built schools that are designated as model schools by the Massa-chusetts School Building Au-thority. In their presentations, the designers will demonstrate how their plans would accom-modate Duxbury’s educational needs and adapt to the site of the existing middle school and football field.

In November, the MSBA invited Duxbury to participate in the model school program as the next step in determining the most cost-effective, edu-cationally appropriate solu-tion to address the conditions of the middle school and high school. Districts are eligible to receive five additional percent-age points which are added to the base rate of MSBA reim-bursement. The base rate of reimbursement from MSBA for all districts is 31 percent. Duxbury is eligible for an ad-ditional 4.42 percent based on its community property wealth factor and the town can earn additional points through the

model school program, high-efficiency green school pro-gram and other incentives.

The SBC will tour exist-ing model schools, including Whitman-Hanson High School on Jan. 13 at 10 a.m., Ashland High School on Jan. 21 at 10 a.m., Hudson High School on Jan. 21 at 1 p.m. and Ipswich Middle School and Ipswich High School on Jan. 27 at 11 a.m. Members of the public who wish to take part in the tours should contact Ginny Whoriskey in the superinten-dent’s office at 781-934-7600. Tours of DMS and DHS will also be available to the com-munity in late January. In February, the SBC will deter-mine whether any of the model school designs are appropriate for Duxbury’s project, select

the designer and begin the process to select an owner’s project manager. The SBC has submitted an article for Town Meeting in March that requests funding for architectural and engineering fees associated with schematic design of a co-located middle school and high school. The cost of the A&E work is estimated to be in the range of $3.5 to $4 million. The amount will be finalized for presentation at the March 14 Town Meeting, following the selection of the architect and model school design. A complete update on the project to date will be presented at the School Committee meeting on Jan. 12 at 7 p.m. More infor-mation about the school build-ing project is available at dux-bury.k12.ma.us.

months. The Planning Board filed a request for zoning en-forcement earlier this fall (they missed a deadline to appeal the permit itself), which Lambiase, who is also the town’s zoning enforcement officer, denied. The case was then taken to the ZBA itself.

The Planning Board said the permit never should have been issued, because the ac-cumulation of amenities in the secondary structure makes it a dwelling. According to Dux-bury’s zoning rules, residents aren’t allowed to have two dwellings on a single lot in the town’s residential compatibil-ity district.

However, “accessory build-ings,” are allowed, and Zoning Board members felt the poor definitions of such buildings in the bylaws lead to problems.

Most of the ZBA mem-bers felt that the building was a dwelling, but the discus-sion went back and forth as to whether or not that constituted a zoning violation.

“In my heart of hearts I know this town conceives of itself as a one-dwelling per lot community,” said ZBA Chair-woman Judi Barrett. “It’s hard for me to look at that structure and say that’s a tool shed. I can’t. It’s a dwelling.”

“I have struggled over this more than anything I’ve faced

on this board,” she added.“At the end of the day, it’s

got everything but a stove,” said Gill. “I don’t think you can be intellectually honest and say it’s not a dwelling when it’s got a dishwasher, a washer and dryer, etc.”

The board quickly went through several aspects of the Planning Board’s appeal, but the meat of the debate rested with the question not of physi-cal dimensions, but intent of use.

“I’m having a hard time dictating how a structure that conforms to the bylaw physi-cally ... how can this board or any other board dictate its use?” said Jill Cadigan-Chris-tenson. “I think that’s the issue we have to tackle.”

The building, which was toured by members of the ZBA, was built by the hom-eowner (construction is nearly completed) to give her family members a place to stay while visiting. The building does not have a stove (Duxbury’s rules say a building with a stove and either a refrigerator or a sink becomes a dwelling) but there is a washer and dryer, a living space with a fireplace, a sink, two bathrooms and a bed-room.

Barrett also expressed frus-tration with the way the bylaw is written. She said many other communities have rules re-

garding what can constitute a guest house, but Duxbury’s ar-chaic rule deals narrowly with the bed and breakfast type of “guest house.”

“I think part of my frus-tration with this, in fairness to Scott ... you need to give him a bylaw he’s going to be able to enforce,” she said. “There are some obsolete definitions that need to be cleaned up ... frankly, that ball’s in your [the Planning Board’s] court.”

ZBA member Dimitri Theodossiou said he felt the Planning Board didn’t make its case strongly enough, and added he was disappointed not to hear more from that group at the last public hearing.

“I felt let down, I didn’t hear what the real problem was,” he said. “It’s too vague ... I wasn’t given the facts.”

Several Planning Board members, as well as Town Planner Tom Broadrick, at-tended Monday’s meeting but were not allowed to contribute to the discussion, as the public hearing had closed.

In the end, Gill said he had conferred with Town Counsel and discussed the option of a compromise solution.

“I think we have to balance the equities here,” he said, not-ing that the homeowner did nothing wrong and acted, as far as she knew, on a valid build-ing permit.

“Everyone would agree, what this discussion reveals is there are ambiguities in this bylaw,” he said.

Changes to the bylaw would have to be made on Town Meeting floor. The Plan-ning Board will be holding a public hearing on changes to the town’s zoning bylaws at the Senior Center on Jan. 24.

Brush burning permits availableBrush burning permits are available for purchase during

normal business hours from 8:30 a.m.-4 p.m., as well as Satur-days and Sundays from 9 a.m.-2 p.m., starting Jan. 1. The cost of the burning permit is $10 for the season. The Duxbury Fire Department only accepts checks. Cash will not be accepted. Burning permits will be sold only at the Central Fire Station located at 668 Tremont St.

The burning season will start on Jan. 15, and the last day of burning season will be May 1. Residents are strongly encour-aged to get their burning done early because burning will be very limited if we have a dry spring.

Burning permits are only for brush, cane, driftwood, and forestry products. Burning of leaves, grass, hay, straw, stumps, finish lumber, or construction debris is strictly prohibited and doing so will be cause for immediate revocation of the permit. Burning must be done on land proximate to where the brush is generated, it must be done at least 75 feet from a dwelling, and adequate resources must be available to immediately ex-tinguish the fire if requested to do so by a fire official. Burning will only be permitted when weather and wind conditions are acceptable.

COMING SOON!

a Mazing a cappellaThe Paul S. Fortini Foundation announces the second an-

nual A Mazing A Cappella Celebration to be held on Feb. 5. The inaugural concert was a success, audiences filled the Per-forming Arts Center. Thanks to the generous support of our local businesses and townspeople, the Foundation was able to make its first gift to the Duxbury music and drama depart-ments this fall: a $5,000 gift for the purchase of a new rehears-al piano for the Duxbury High School orchestra and chorus room. This gift replaced a 40-year-old piano, long needed but outside of the school budget.

The Paul S. Fortini Fortini Foundation for Music and Dra-ma is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, all volunteer organization with a mission of fulfilling the vision set forth by Paul’s family. This vision is to provide alternative monetary support to the Duxbury Schools’ performing arts, something which was very dear to Paul.

The foundation’s goal is directed at providing tangible as-sets to the music and drama departments which may be out-side of school budgets. The foundation seeks for every student to continue to have the best opportunities, tools, and environ-ment to continue the excellence which has been established within these departments.

Again this year, the a cappella concert will be held at the Duxbury Peforming Arts Center. The concert will be featur-ing a number of talented collegiate groups from the Northeast, and Duxbury High’s PACMEN will be performing as well.

Sunday Salon presents: Piping Plovers

Scott Hecker, Execu-tive Director of the Golden-rod Foundation, will speak at the Duxbury Free Library on Sunday Jan. 23, at 2 p.m. His presentation will discuss how the piping plover has served as an “umbrella species” and its conservation has in effect led to greater protection of barrier beaches from Newfoundland to the Caribbean ever since be-ing listed as endangered twen-ty five years ago. Although the piping plover has increased dramatically since the 1980s it is still one of the rarest shore-birds in the world. Hecker will emphasize the history and success of this work in Mas-sachusetts and conclude with his current focus at the Gold-enrod Foundation. Tickets are free but must be reserved in advance. Call the library at 781-934-2721 x108 to reserve now.

MOVE IT! The last thing many people with back pain want to do is move. However, without movement, cir-culation slows, muscles tighten, and pain-inducing chemicals con-tinue to collect in muscles. Even though sudden movements may cause muscles to spasm and pain to heighten, people with “garden-variety” back pain are encouraged to find movements they can per-form without pain. Motions that do not cause pain will probably help. In an effort to expand the number of movements that back-pain suffer-ers may be able to conduct without experiencing pain, the chiropractor can provide in-office treatments that extend joints’ range of motion and release the grip that tightened muscles have on body structure. Over time, it is possible to get mov-ing again without motion-inhibiting pain.

head in early October of that year, when DeLuca was of-fered a settlement by the Board of Selectmen.

At the time, Selectman Christopher Donato said he learned that “statements were made under oath” regarding allegations against DeLuca. He said he was not privy to any of the specifics, however at a later meeting he said some of the allegations may have dealt with overtime abuse. Donato did say, however, that as part of the settlement those allega-tions “would disappear.”

During an executive ses-sion, normally closed to the public that was inadvertently broadcast over public access TV, Town Counsel Robert Troy elaborated on the allega-tions.

“People have made state-ments that, quite frankly, im-pose on the municipality a duty to investigate whether those statements are affirmed or not affirmed,” he said.

The settlement was even-tually pulled off the table, and DeLuca left the town when his contract expired in November. He has since been appointed the police chief in Cohasset.

The Clipper made a public records request for the tran-scripts of the statements on Oct. 7, 2009.

On Oct. 16, the town de-nied the request, saying that the “recorded information was not transcribed and is under the direction of special counsel.”

The Clipper appealed to state Supervisor of Public Re-cords Alan Cote, saying the town’s denial was contrary to the public records law. That appeal was subsequently de-nied by Cote in a June 9, 2010 letter.

However, in a November 2010 memo, drafted in re-sponse to a request from Board of Selectmen Chairman Shawn Dahlen, Troy ruled that the transcripts were indeed public records.

In the memo, Troy ad-dresses three main questions: Whether or not an individual member of the Board of Se-lectmen could examine the allegations made by town em-ployees against another town employee, whether or not those records could be used as part of the evaluation of the town manager and whether or not the records were public.

Regarding the first two questions, Troy said that Dux-bury’s Town Manager Act gives control over personnel to the Town Manager.

“An individual member of the Board of Selectmen has no rights to review records that relate to matters that could be deemed personnel matters,” Troy wrote.

However, in the memo Troy concluded that the ma-terials requested by a certain member of the Board of Select-men (not named in the memo) don’t meet any of the public records exemptions relating to privacy and are, in fact, public documents. He also noted that the Board of Selectmen voted to terminate the investigation into the allegations against DeLuca, so the exemption re-garding ongoing investigations does not apply.

The Clipper made a sec-ond public records request of the town, seeking transcripts of the statements made in the fall of 2009, on Dec. 6. The town has not yet responded formally to the request (state law requires a written response within 10 days), but Troy said that a phone call from the State

Ethics Commission created confusion.

“Since the date of my opin-ion ... we have been notified that the State Ethics Commis-sion is conducting an investiga-tion into the police department during the years 2007-2008,” Troy said on Monday. He add-ed that town employees may be subpoenaed to testify be-fore the commission.

Because there is now an ongoing investigation, the transcripts may be subject to the investigatory exemption to the public records law. Troy said the decision rests with MacDonald as the town’s cus-todian of records.

“The town is going to respond to the Clipper’s re-quest,” Troy said.

David Giannotti, a spokes-man for the Ethics Commis-sion, said Monday afternoon he could not comment because of confidentiality rules.

community do Duxbury residents want to see, linger.Anyone with history in this town knows that the will of

the people is not to have two homes on one property lot. That shouldn’t be the debate here. The residents of Duxbury have consistently, at Town Meeting and the ballot box, called for a low-density, historic and rural community, and officials have tried to make zoning decisions to fit that plan.

People also tend to have the mistaken notion that because they own the land, they can build what they want. Well, there’s probably no town in Massachusetts where that’s less true than Duxbury. However, it’s not fair to issue homeowners building permits then tell them later their buildings are in violation of the town’s zoning law.

The ZBA talked at length at Monday’s meeting about the need to clarify the town’s rules, perhaps adding a specific section on guest houses. That’s only half the story, however, and it’s unfair to put this all on the Planning Board. The enforcement needs to be better.

There are many people upset at what they see as a rash of large guest house type buildings recently being erected around town. To suggest that the rules are being interpreted as they always have been isn’t accurate. The planning and building departments need to work together to make sure buildings aren’t getting improperly permitted.

The Planning Board was originally looking at a longer list of properties where they felt a zoning violation was occurring. If one steps back and takes a more global view, instead of looking just at the River Lane case, it’s hard to look at these giant structures labeled “accessory buildings” and think everything’s kosher. They clearly violate the spirit of the town’s rules. As Judi Barrett said last night in reference to River Lane, “In my heart of hearts I know this town conceives of itself as a one-dwelling per lot community ... It’s hard for me to look at that structure and say that’s a tool shed. I can’t. It’s a dwelling.”

Here’s one area where we’re in complete agreement with the Planning Board: The “stove rule” isn’t enough. So you can build an “accessory building” that’s as large as your home, put bedrooms, bathrooms, a refrigerator and a living room, but as long as there’s no stove it’s classified the same way as a garage or a tool shed? That doesn’t seem right. Let’s use some common sense here. There should be bylaw changes at the May Town Meeting that give homeowners a clear guideline while preserving the rural and low-density character of Duxbury.

–– J. Graeber

To the good people of Duxbury who made my children’s Christmas day bright. You took away the worry so

that we could find the joy. I believe that there are amazing people in the world. I believe that each and every single person in my life is a gift to me. Everyone. I believe in miracles. And the power to do what we need to do with what we have. I believe that miracles helped me find a place for my little family to live, a new and safer car to drive, to organize our new life (even if it means writing the wrong dates down for parent teacher conferences and gingerbread house parties.... oops) and to open the hearts of the wonderful people in this little town of Duxbury. I believe. I believe that someone is looking out for us.

I want to thank that person who sent us a card that contained an amazing, incredibly gen-erous gift that will help us for a long while. I also want to thank both the individuals and the vari-

ous grassroots organizations who left food, left little gifts on our doorstep and left a lot of love for us. I wish I could tell them in person. But that’s just the magic of Christmas, I guess.

So, to this person, to all these people, I want to tell them a little story that is always part of the Holiday Pageant at church: Go into the world and bid others to follow the star. Tell them the star means wisdom, Tell them the star means kindness, Tell them the star means understand-ing, Tell them the star means tolerance, Tell them the star means sacrifice, Tell them the star leads to a vision of a fairer world, Tell them the star shines in the heavens and in their hearts and if they will follow... they will bring peace and joy to others and find it themselves. Peace love and joy to all. And thank you, thank you a million times over for all you have done for us.

Duxbury’s generosity felt this holiday season

The RAP Group (Respect All People) helped the Interfaith Council to “Fill the baskets” by loading two SUV’s full of food collected during a food drive at the Middle School. Although the food drive for the basket program is over for this holiday period, the council is still in need of financial donations. $60,000 annually is necessary to complete the work of the council. Donations can be sent to PO Box 1161, 02331. For more information call 781-934-8388, [email protected], www.duxinterfaith.com.

Prank Monkey

By SuSanna Sheehan, Clipper Staff [email protected]

With summer both a dis-tant memory and a glimmer on the horizon, the Board of Se-lectmen this week voted their support of two 2011 annual Town Meeting articles that de-fine summer in Duxbury.

The first will provide $10,000 for the July 4th pa-rade and beach party; the second will fund the town’s lease of Duxbury beach at the same level as in past years: $400,000. Both are annual ar-ticles that will be on the March 12 Town Meeting warrant.

July 4th committee orga-nizers told selectmen that the town’s annual $10,000 contri-bution covers a quarter of the cost of the Duxbury’s national birthday celebration. In 2010, the parade and party cost al-most $40,000. Private dona-tions totaled almost $25,000 but the committee said that fundraising has been down in

recent years. They try to keep a balance in their account so they can book bands and acts well in advance of the sum-mer. This year, however, that cushion is $3,000 lower than last year.

Committee members are hopeful that 2011 will be a better year for giving.

“People are always very generous to this cause,” said committee member Jamie MacNab.

Selectmen unanimously supported the July 4th fund-ing.

The beach lease article also received the board’s support. Duxbury Beach Reservation Inc. members told selectmen there was no need to raise the price of the beach lease from the current $400,000, even though it cost the Reservation almost $35,000 more than that amount to care for and manage the beach in 2010.

Reservation treasurer

Clark Hinkley said the beach expenses totaled $434,319. This amount paid for beach maintenance, clean ups, trash disposal, fertilizing and plant-ing beach grass, buying and installing snow fencing, grad-ing the access road, installing new signs and maintaining the parking lot. Also, last year, a new lifeguard tower was pur-chased by the Reservation at a cost of $6,000.

The lease also pays for the endangered species habitat maintenance, which includes the salaries of the piping plo-ver monitors who keep the en-dangered shore birds safe from human and pet interference all summer.

Reservation President Margaret Kearney said the monitoring program is work-ing well as the number of pip-ing plover chicks that fledged, or flew away, increased last year from four to 12.

However, it costs more than the lease amount to man-age and protect the beach, said Kearney. The Reserva-tion makes additional money from its concession stand on the public part of Duxbury Beach as well as through an-nual fundraising.

Kearney said that if a ma-jor storm does severe damage it would probably cost $4 mil-lion to repair the beach. The Reservation has been saving money for this event in an en-dowment fund, which is close to $2.3 million, and it can also tap into a $2 million mortgage loan if necessary.

Selectmen approve beach articles

have to do with arts and entertainment? Of course, my column title – What’s Going On Here? – gives quite a bit of leeway, and Robert Henri argued decades ago that the creation of art is nothing if it does not engage the whole person. Pretty pictures and the like can be about something, but strong art does something. By engaging the viewer (and the artist) it accomplishes something for others. Henri argued that the art spirit is a matter of action, not mere portrayal, and that everyone is

CUSTOM INTERIOR FINISHES

By mike Halloran, sports editor [email protected]

The Dragons rallied from a 2-0 first period deficit, scoring a pair of goals in the second period and the game-winner with two minutes remaining to knock off Hanover, 3-2, on Friday afternoon at The Bog.

The win capped a draining week for Coach John Blake’s team, as they opened with a 3-2 OT loss (officially a tie) to defending Super 8 champion, Hingham High Sschool, last Monday night in the Ed Taylor Tournament in Hingham, and two nights later took on heated rival Marshfield and battled the Rams to a 2-2 tie.

To say the first two games took a lot out of the Dragons would be an understatement, as they looked lethargic in the first 15 minutes against Hanover, who came into the game at 1-5.

It took the Indians less than four minutes to jump on top, as sophomore forward Vinny Natale scored his first varsity goal when he knocked in a re-bound of a Tim Matthews save to give the visitors a 1-0 lead.

Duxbury had few serious shots on senior goaltender Jim Donovan, and those proved harmless, as there was little follow-up on any rebounds.

While the Hanover lead surprised the Dragons, their second tally was a serious

wake-up call after sophomore PJ Murphy scored on a 2-on-1 break with 5:44 remaining in the period.

The Dragons appeared to get their act together between periods, as they came out with a lot more energy in the mid-dle period led by senior cap-tain Bryan Barry, who scored the first Duxbury goal after a Mitch Barrington rush brought the puck over the blue line. The junior defenseman slid the puck over to junior forward Tim Harrison, who fed Barry for the score and a 2-1 deficit.

There was a renewed effort on the part of the Dragons and they almost tied it four min-utes later when junior forward Evan Jackson rattled his shot off the post at the 6:52 mark.

Forced to kill a Hanover power-play with 3:42 to go in the second period, the Drag-ons kept the deficit at one and pressured the Hanover defense

as the penalty expired.With time running down,

Duxbury continued to attack with Jackson, Nick Marrocco and junior defenseman Ken Jacobson stepping up into the rush. As Jackson took control on the left wing, he cut through the slot and fired on Donovan, who fell back into the net as the puck trickled through his pads to tie the game at 2-2.

While it appeared momen-tum was on Duxbury’s side, the third period started with Hanover putting on all the pressure with a serious scoring bid in the first minute of play. They followed that three min-utes later with a partial break-in. But Matthews was up to the task, as neither surge resulted in a goal.

The Dragons were forced to kill a penalty with 11 min-utes left in the game and they did it flawlessly, only to see the Indians come back a few

minutes later and pepper Mat-thews with a flurry of shots with four minutes left in the game.

Duxbury got a break when Hanover’s Jesse Rafferty went off for elbowing with 2:24 left in the game and the Drag-ons took advantage, as Barry scored the game winner at the two-minute mark with assists from Jackson and Barrington.

“We were gassed after the Hingham and Marshfield games and we knew it would be a grind coming out in the first period,” said Blake. “It was gut-check time, starting in the second period, and they all hung together as a group. All 22 guys worked together and they came back and got the “W.”

The team will be in action on Saturday night when they entertain Bridgewater-Rayn-ham at 7:50 p.m. at The Bog.

Dragons Winter Sports ScheduleSchedule revised as of January 2

called in some measure to live his or her life as art.Martin Luther King certainly did this. His art, if you will,

was challenging, difficult, and inspiring – inspiring enough to lead to his death by assassination. His obvious rhetorical genius was not enough. It served only as a vehicle that carried him and his message to others. It was not his words that lead to his martyrdom. It was his presence. His actions put him on the scene. He was, as military people put it, moving toward the sound of the firing, not away from it.

The New Year is the perfect time for Martin Luther King Day. It’s a time for personal reflection and preparation for new ways of living. The liturgy in some of our churches reflects this. (By way of disclosure, I attend St. John’s Church, the site of this year’s breakfast.) Scriptures read this past Sunday reflect the tremendous social tensions that existed when the Christmas story was unfolding. The happy story of the manger and visits by wise kings bearing gifts, along with throngs of angels, is balanced by horrific news of abject persecution. The tyrant Herod has the power and will to destroy an entire cohort of baby boys in his effort to suppress just one. When the news reaches Joseph and Mary, their tiny family become refugees. They flee to Egypt and live there until Herod’s death reduces the danger to their son.

How like today’s headlines the story reads. The brutality of persecution sometimes seems universal, more common than the peace and growth we all claim to seek. Refugees, and stories of their violation, are so common that I can no longer keep track of the locations and their identities without some kind of program. When I listen to the latest on BBC, I have to search my mind for the dateline I just heard at the beginning of the story. Nothing in the body of the piece offers any help, because the details are always the same.

I never quite heard until this year one of the chilling surprises in the scriptures around this time: God is always on the side of the victims, and never on the side of the oppressor. It seems so obvious, written out that way. Of course God opposes oppression. Don’t we all?

Perhaps, but Carl Jung, the friend and later rival of Sigmund Freud, had an interesting take on the problem. “Any large company composed of wholly admirable persons has the morality and intelligence of an unwieldy, stupid, and violent animal.” He was writing in 1928, at a time when fascism was taking hold in Europe – not only in Germany – and he called it pretty accurately. When individual responsibility is cloaked in the systemic anonymity, we are capable of almost anything – no, anything.

But voices like Martin Luther King’s can call us back from the brink of such horrors. They can awaken in us a personal sense that our corporate actions must reflect our personal morality. They can raise our personal sights as well, by challenging us to see the results of our attitudes, our actions, and our communities. They can – Jung would have liked this – give us dreams of a future where each of us shares in opposing oppression, starting with our own oppression of others. Martin didn’t lump us all together into an unwieldy beast. He said, “I have a dream…”

Have a dream – Even if it’s small

Dragons’ DenSports Editor Mike Halloran • [email protected]


The Lady Dragons hockey team had a big win last Thurs-day afternoon at The Bog, as they got head coach Friend Weiler his 100th career win as the only coach in the history of the girls’ hockey program. The Lady Dragons broke a 1-1 tie with four straight third-period goals in a 5-1 win over Canton. The victory raises Duxbury’s record to 4-1 as the team pre-pares to entertain Hingham on Wednesday night at 8 p.m.

Duxbury struck early when sophomore forward Lily Connolly gave Duxbury a 1-0 lead just four minutes into the game. The line of Connolly,

senior Briana Connolly and sophomore Hannah Murphy is one of the most potent in the league, and they buzzed the Canton net all afternoon, accounting for all five goals in an assortment of combina-tions. On the first one the trio broke out of their own end, and it eventually developed into a 2 on 1 with Murphy feeding Connolly for the go-ahead goal.

Despite the lopsided score, Canton did have several scor-ing chances early in the game by junior forward Haley Gaughan, who was thwarted by freshman goalie Rachel Myette twice in the first five minutes.

“This early in the season Rachel has started strong. She has stepped up and shown us she can play. She bailed us out a few times early in the game

and as the season progresses she just keeps getting better,” said Weiler.

Duxbury was able to con-trol most of the first 15 min-utes, and almost took the lead again late in the first period when Briana Connolly con-trolled a rebound off the back-board and tried to stuff it be-hind Canton netminder Sarah Healey.

The Lady Dragons re-mained in control during the second period, with sopho-more Katie Fallon and Murphy getting golden scoring chances in the first eight minutes, right

before the Bulldogs went on consecutive power plays in the last six minutes.

It looked like the game would go down to the wire when Julia Murphy tied it for Canton just three minutes into the third period. But the Can-ton score seemed to ignite the Duxbury offense, as Murphy was sent in alone by Connolly at the 11-minute mark and was stuffed by Healey, only to turn the tide on the Canton goalie a minute later when Lily and Briana Connolly did the grunt work behind the net and fed Murphy for the go-ahead goal

with 10:19 remaining.It was all Duxbury from

then on, as Lily Connolly (3:58) and Briana Connolly (2:30 and :10.6) potted three more goals to complete the rout.

“One of our strengths is our team depth, so we try to make sure we get everyone out there to play. All of our defensemen have played well too. By step-ping up at the blue line they have allowed our offense to do what they need to do. They are really poised back there and they do an excellent job,” said Weiler.

The Duxbury wrestling team competed in the 26th Annual Marshfield Holiday Tournament over the vacation break, and three Dragon grap-plers placed in the top seven out of a field of 31 teams. The field included Bridgewater-Raynham, North Andover, Plymouth South, North Attle-boro, and Marshfield, all of whom are ranked among the top 25 teams in the state.

While a depleted Dux-bury squad still managed to finish 16th overall, they had some outstanding individual performances. Senior captain Pat Donovan finished third at 140 lbs., with sophomores Nick Kates (103) and Jake Genereux (130) finishing sixth and seventh in their respective weight classes. The two-day tournament is an early indica-tion of where wrestlers stand in comparison to some of the best wrestlers in Divisions 1, 2, and 3.

Donovan got off to a good

start with a pin and a major de-cision (11-1) over his Hanover and Pembroke opponents in the first two rounds. Unfortu-nately for the Duxbury senior captain, he had the misfortune of meeting the top-ranked and tournament favorite, Matt Lib-by, in the quarterfinals. The B-R senior captain and New England Champ showed why he’s the best in the 140 lbs. weight class with a first-period pin of the Duxbury captain.

While Donovan was dis-appointed with the draw and the loss, he put himself in good position to join the rank-ings, winning a 2-1 nail-biter over No. 7-ranked Shawn Adams of Wilmington in the consolation round. The Dux-bury senior followed that win with a dominating 16-5 major decision over Norton’s Derek Hoyt, setting up a match on the big stage with Mike Cofsky of Walpole, and the opportunity to take home a bronze medal.

Donovan set the tone of the match with a first-period takedown, and an early 2-0

lead. The Duxbury senior would extend his lead to 5-0 in the second period with an es-cape from the bottom position, and another 2-point takedown. The Walpole senior chose bot-

tom to start the third period, but Donovan held him down for the entire period, hanging on for the win, and an impres-sive third-place finish.

Sophomore Nick Kates

(4-3) was hoping to improve on last year’s sixth-place fin-ish in the 103 lbs. weight class, but North Andover’s Daniel Coughlin proved to be

his nemesis, beating him in the quarterfinals, and then for fifth/sixth place later in the day.

Kates got off to a good start with a win and then a pin of New Bedford’s Dontae Mon-teiro before losing a 4-0 deci-sion to Coughlin in the quar-ters. Now in the consolations, Kates won a 7-0 decision over Kevin Wright of Sandwich, and then won by technical fall (15-0) over Plymouth North’s Anthony Christensen before losing to B-R’s Steve Pace. The loss, however, would give Kates a second opportunity at beating Coughlin, but the North Andover sophomore had other ideas, taking advantage of a second-period reversal, and then pinning the Duxbury sophomore with a cradle for fifth place.

Sophomore Jake Genereux (5-2), who finished in seventh place last year at 112 lbs was hoping for at least a similar fate, jumping up three weight

classes to 130 lbs. However, Genereux was shocked in the second round by Barnstable’s CJ Botello. While the early loss was deflating, Genere-ux rattled off three wins in a row, beating Brockton’s Evan Rocha by technical fall (20-4), Sharon’s Tyler Layer by pin, and PL rival Mike Garrett by a 7-3 decision. Unfortunately, Genereux’s win streak came to an end with a loss to North An-dover’s Brad Dover. The loss set up a rematch with Botello and a chance at redemption for the Duxbury sophomore, who came out fired up and built an 11-0 lead before pinning Botello in the third period for seventh place.

Junior Brendan Gillis (3-2) was once again a key contribu-tor for Duxbury in the 119 lbs. weight class. While pinning his Braintree opponent in the first round, Gillis also suffered a setback in the second round with a loss to B-R’s Darvin Anderson. However, a pin of

Hanover’s Dylan Joyce, and a thrilling 8-6 win over Whitman Hanson senior Alex Perry, who had beaten the Duxbury junior at the PL Championship, was one of the highlight matches for the Dragons. Unfortunate-ly for Gillis, his run would end on day two of the tournament at the hands of Bristol Aggie’s Zach Leblanc.

Also making it to the sec-ond day with strong perfor-mances were senior captains Jamie Auer (3-2), who record-ed a team-high three pins in the 145 lbs. weight class, and Alec McKenzie (2-2), who had two pins at 189. Junior Bobby Boyle (2-2) also had two pins in the 215 lbs. weight class, and sophomore Owen Grey (2-2) had a win and a pin at heavyweight.

Next up for the Dragon grapplers is an away match with Patriot League Champion Whitman-Hanson on Wednes-day night at 7 p.m.

Youth and inexperience reared its ugly head on Thurs-day night, as the Dragons lost their rematch with Marshfield, 57-53, in the opening round of the Rockland Athletic Holi-day Tournament at Marshfield High School.

Having lost to Duxbury a week earlier by a score of

60-58, Marshfield Coach Bob Fisher knew what he had to do to slow down the undefeated Dragons: pressure their ball handlers.

His team did just that in the opening minutes, causing several turnovers that ignited a 13-0 run after Duxbury’s Curtis Owen opened the game with a bucket.

Another basket by Owen and a put back by Rob Ko-sharek cut the lead to 13-6, prompting Fisher to call a tim-eout with 54 seconds to go in the first quarter. The ease with

which Kosharek was operat-ing in the paint concerned the Marshfield coach, who called for another timeout just sec-onds into the second quarter after Kosharek put two more on the board for a 13-8 score.

The teams traded hoops over the next few minutes and Jason Marino cut the margin to 18-17 with a three-pointer.

Marshfield’s senior captain Barrett Murphy then buried a pair of baskets for a 22-17 lead, but Duxbury retaliated with free throws by Khai Perry (2), Kosharek, and John Geary to tie the game at 22 with 1:24 left in the half.

The Rams would score be-fore the half ended and went to the locker room with a 24-22 lead.

Marshfield’s Alex White opened the second half with a three-point play, and Jus-tin Marino countered with a bucket. Duxbury Coach Gor-don Cushing became irate at the officiating crew and was

tagged with a technical foul, sending Murphy to the line to hit a pair of free throws for a 29-24 lead.

Eric Whittaker scored three straight points to make it 32-24 for the hosts, but it started a comeback by the Dragons that was led by the Marino twins. Suddenly, it was 36-34 on an Owen basket with two minutes to go in the third quarter and Fisher called a timeout.

When play resumed, the Rams went on a 10-5 run to end the quarter with a 46-39 lead.

Geary and Justin Marino helped cut the lead to 48-44 with a little more than five min-utes to go, and Owen buried a jumper to make it a two-point game with 4:50 on the clock.

The teams traded baskets and free throws over the final four minutes, and with Dux-bury trailing 55-53 with 52 second remaining, Cushing called a timeout.

Justin Marino would make

two huge blocks in the final 24 seconds to gain possession. But Owen’s tying shot was off the mark with 4.9 seconds re-maining with the Rams getting the rebound and being fouled.

Jason Marino and Owen were the high scorers for Duxbury with 14 points each, while Geary and Justin Marino added 7 apiece.

“We came out real flat and didn’t play well. I think we were down 13-4,” said Cush-ing. “To our credit we came back and made it close at half-time. We’re young and we have to learn how to step up and meet a physical challenge. We got pushed around, but we hung in there and made a game of it.”

In Friday’s consolation game, Owen led Duxbury (4-2) with 19 points in a 59-55 OT loss to Scituate (3-3).

The Dragons will travel to North Quincy on Friday night to take on the Red Raiders at 6:30 p.m.
