Believe it or not, the idea for Holly Days came to Anne Antonellis in a dream.

The Duxbury Business As-sociation president said when Duxbury acquired the Town Green and moved the annual tree lighting ceremony out of Hall’s Corner, she missed the sight (her business is directly across from the flagpole) and the camaraderie the event sparked

among local businesses. “It lost a little bit of that

feeling of community, and bringing in the businesses,” she said.

Then one night, she had and idea for a new event that would connect those business-es and draw in the community at large.

“I thought we could con-nect the town with trolleys and THAT’S A BIG BUG! Roger Meine holds the 14.42 pound lobster he won as part of a “guess the weight”

promotion at the new Star Market in Marshfield (his guess was 14.39 pounds.) The giant lobster, which New England Aquarium officials told Meine is between 50-60 years old, will be stored in a tank at Snug Harbor Fish Market until he can figure out what to do with the oversized crustacean.

Bullying, and especially cyberbullying, is an issue school districts around the country are wrestling with in new and important ways. In some ways, education about bullying is simple, such as a teacher telling a student that bullying is wrong. When it comes to the school district trying to implement a written policy that will allow school officials to identify bully-

ing behavior while not being overly vague –– that’s when things get substantially more complicated.

Duxbury officials, led by Assistant Superintendent Ed Walsh and an anti-bullying task force that numbers in the dozens, have been working on a district-wide bullying pre-vention and intervention plan using a template provided by the state Department of Edu-

Where Quality isAlways in Season

GroundEffects

LANDSCAPE DESIGN, CONSTRUCTION & MAINTENANCE


The proposed Duxbury combination middle school/high school project has taken one step closer to becoming a reality, School Committee Chairman Anne Ward said on Wednesday night.

“They are inviting us to participate in the model school program,” Ward said. “There are a lot of questions on our end about what that means ... but this is obviously good news for us, that we’ve had another positive signal from Massachusetts School Build-ing Authority about our proj-ect.”

The move means that the MSBA will work with the school to study what model best fits Duxbury based on the district’s submitted Statement of Interest.

“The MSBA’s Model Schools effectively adapt and re-use the design of suc-cessful, recently constructed schools; simplifying the de-sign process, reducing the amount of time projects are in the design phase and lowering design fees,” School Building Authority Executive Kath-erine Craven wrote in a Nov. 17 statement co-authored with Treasurer Tim Cahill. “Using elements of a previously de-signed Model School allows projects to begin construction faster and reduces construc-tion costs for the project. At least a year of design work

can be saved by using a Model School.”

Ward said that the district would be meeting with repre-sentatives from the MSBA on Monday, Nov. 22.

“We don’t have all the de-tails of that yet,” Ward said.

There are still some ques-tions to be answered, School Superintendent Benedict Tan-tillo said. For example, would Duxbury or the state be re-sponsible for developing the plans for the new structure?

Tantillo also said that in terms of funding, there are no other proposed co-located (the term for a combined mid-dle school and high school) schools on the MSBA’s list, so Duxbury wouldn’t be compet-ing with other communities for funding.

“The Model School ap-proach allows communities, like Duxbury, to move for-ward in a fiscally responsible manner that benefits taxpay-ers, administrators, teachers and students,” said Craven in the statement.

“As one of the original co-sponsors of the reform law that resulted in the MSBA, I am proud of initiatives such as the Model School program, which has and will continue to save Massachusetts tax-payers millions of dollars an-nually,” Sen. Robert Hedlund said in the MSBA’s statement. “I commend the town of Dux-bury for participating in the Model School program, while

at the same time showing its commitment to improving the town’s schools.”

Although school officials have argued that some money could be saved by building a co-located school as opposed to individual buildings, the project could still be costly to taxpayers.

The estimated costs of a combined middle and high school could be as high as $145 million. Currently, Dux-bury stands to be reimbursed 40 percent by the MSBA, bringing the costs down to $87 million. According to infor-mation provided at this year’s town meeting by the Fiscal Advisory Board, the project, depending upon interest rates, could add up to $1,414 to an average tax bill in the first year of financing.

However, participation in the model school program adds another 5 percent (equal-ing about $7 million) to the town’s reimbursement.

ROBERT MCDANIELSales Consultant


Duxbury Middle School student Jeffrey Sullivan, 11, was crushed to hear that his cousin Jessica was sick. She had been diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic leukemia, or ALL, and was being treated at the Dana-Farber’s Jimmy Fund Clinic.

Jeffrey was looking for a way to help out. When Dana-Farber sent out an e-mail look-ing for submissions for their holiday card contest, Jeffrey had an idea.

A talented artist who has been drawing and painting since first grade, he has a tra-dition of painting the family’s Christmas cards, alternating with his sister Lindsay.

“My mom really like [that first painting], so she turned it into our Christmas card,” he said.

His family submitted one of his favorite paintings, a piece called “Winter Penguin,” and it was selected for inclu-sion in the card collection.

The painting features a penguin on a winter back-ground, and Jeffrey created a unique snowflake pattern by flicking his brush, filled with white paint, at the canvas.

He said artistic abilities run in the family.

“My grandpa played a big part in teaching me how to draw people,” he said. How-ever, he feels he inherited his abilities from his grandmoth-er.

“She’s very good at paint-ing,” he said.

Jeffrey participates in a

once-a-week club at DMS, taught by local artist Bettina Lesieur. In addition to paint-ing, he also does pencil draw-ings. He has more fun with the drawings, but admits “my paintings come out better.”

He’s hoping drawing is in his future, and plans to be an architect when he gets older.

Jeffrey said the whole fam-ily was shocked to hear of his cousin’s diagnosis about a year ago. Jessica was in the hospital after falling off a trampoline when her leukemia was dis-covered, he said.

“We had a family confer-ence,” he said. “I was scared

for her, and wondered if she’s ok.”

Jeffery isn’t the only fam-ily member pitching in for his cousin. His great-aunt is knit-ting hats (Jessica’s hair has fallen out because of the treat-ment) and Lindsay donated her hair through the Locks for Love program.

Jessica is still in treatment, but is doing well, and the fam-ily is hoping for a happier hol-iday season this year.

To view the card or other items in Dana-Farber’s Holi-day Collection, visit jimmy-fund.org/holidaygreetings. 100 percent of the money col-lected will go to cancer care and research.

Sullivan’s card features a pen-guin design and snowflakes that were created by flicking his brush at the canvas.

Items needed for auctionThe Music Promoters are looking for donations that will

be auctioned off to help support the Duxbury Music program. The Silent Auction will be held during all six of the holiday concerts in December at the Performing Arts Center. Do you have a time share week you won’t be using, tickets to events, services for which you would be willing to donate or gift card? Some donations will be auctioned at a specific concert and some will be auctioned throughout the concerts and closed at the final concert.

cation. They recently presented a draft version of the plan at the Duxbury Middle School for public comment, and the School Committee will vote to finalize the document by the end of De-cember. The entire process was initiated earlier this year when Governor Deval Patrick signed a bill into law that would force all school districts to have a bullying plan in place.

At the School Commit-tee meeting Wednesday night, members poured over the dis-trict’s proposed policy (differ-ent from the state-mandated plan), and some members were concerned the document was lengthy and overly vague.

“This is a lot to sift through,” said Mary Lou Buell.

“It feels like we’re layering a lot of stuff on top of what we already have,” added Chair-woman Anne Ward. “I hope it will be effective but I worry because it’s so unwieldy ... it’s going to be a lot for people to get through.”

Ward asked if the policy meshes with the district’s ex-isting policy regarding hazing. Walsh says it does.

Vice Chairman John Hein-stadt asked if the specific pun-ishment for bullying would be outlined in the student hand-books. Walsh said it would, par-ticularly at the middle school and high school level.

“Those terms will be built into the handbook, there will be a code in the handbook for that,” he said.

Even at the elementary lev-el, students are being educated on what bullying means, with teachers using the language of the plan such as the word tar-get.

“They know what these words mean,” said Ward.

However, some committee members were frustrated with the overly complex and lega-lese wording of the policy.

“Do we teach the golden rule anymore? You know, treat others as you would like to be treated?” asked Maureen Con-nolly.

Walsh cited programs such as “I Care” and “teachable mo-ments” that staff members are implementing to Duxbury’s young students.

“At the elementary school you see it all the time,” he said. “I feel very comfortable saying every teacher has their way of communicating that.”

Ward also mentioned the Family Compact at Chandler, which is something like an honor code for incoming stu-dents.

Heinstadt said he was also concerned that the bullying definitions might be overly broad, pointing out that the new state law defines bullying as a repeated behavior.

“If an adult sees one in-stance ... what happens, is the adult required to report that?” he asked. “You don’t want that to turn into a disciplinary hear-ing.”

He called some of the lan-guage in the policy a “lawyer’s dream.”

Walsh said a one-time inci-dent would not be considered bullying, although the admin-istrator may have to report the behavior for a different reason.

“A behavior won’t be la-beled bullying until an admin-istrator witnesses repetitive ac-tions,” he said.

One thing all the members agreed upon, however, was that the approach to bullying pre-vention had to be cultural and district-wide.

“The underlying issue is es-tablishing a culture where bul-lying isn’t tolerated,” Heinstadt said. He compared it to parents wanting schools to combat the childhood obesity problem, when in fact children only eat 14 percent of their meals in school.

“It’s the same thing, this is everybody’s problem,” he said.

Member Gary Magnuson agreed.

“The schools can’t solve the problem alone,” he said. “This is a multi-faceted partnership ... we’re being legislated into try-ing to solve the problem.”

6.99MYOFASCIAL PAIN SYNDROME

Lower-back pain is sometimes caused by soft-tissue disorders, one of which is “myofascial pain syn-drome.” This chronic form of muscle pain can be traced to areas in the muscles (“trigger points”) that are sensitive to touch. The pain associ-ated with myofascial pain syndrome differs from garden-variety muscle pain in that it does not resolve within a few days. Instead, it can spread throughout the affected muscle and either persist or worsen. Myo-fascial pain caused by trigger points has also been linked to headaches, jaw pain, neck pain, low back pain, pelvic pain, and arm and leg pain. The chiropractor may be able to help those affected by increasing muscles’ range of motion and iden-tifying and correcting contributing factors. ved physical function. Should you or a family mem-

ber experience continued lower back pain, particularly myofascial pain syndrome, seek the help of a healthcare professional. Come to LALONDE CHIROPRACTIC SPINE CENTER OF NEW ENGLAND at 42 Tremont St., Suite 10B (Rt 3A at Rt 3). Our clinic stresses maintenance and prevention as well as treatment. We also offer stress-relieving and ef-fective medical massage therapy, reiike, and pilates.

Holy Family Parish on Tremont Street will host the God of this City Tour on Tuesday evening, Nov. 30 from 7-9 p.m. The night will feature the Jon Niven Band playing contemporary Chris-tian praise and worship mu-sic. They will be joined by an amazing woman, Sister Olga Yaqob, who grew up in Iraq and after seeing the horrible conditions brought on by the Iran-Iraq War devoted her life to God and serving suffering people. She is known as the “Mother Theresa of Bagh-

dad” and since coming to America for advanced stud-ies, she now helps in campus ministry at Boston Universi-ty. There will be Eucharistic Adoration and opportunities for the sacrament of recon-ciliation.

The event is intergenera-tional but with a special ap-peal for younger people. Part of the vision behind the Tour is a belief that young people (youth and young adults) are a special gift who have the power to change and shape the future. The program ral-

lies parishes to come out in support of these young peo-ple. The Holy Family Catho-lic Crew, established by the youth themselves at Holy Family under the guidance of adult members of the parish, works from the same prin-ciple and they will be debut-ing their new T-shirts at the event.

The God of this City Tour is held across the five regions of the archdiocese on the five weekday nights of the first week of Advent. People are expected to travel from all over the South Shore to Dux-bury on Nov., 30. The tour culminates on Friday, Dec. 3, at the Cathedral of the Holy Cross where Cardinal Seán O’Malley will address the youth. The Tour is run by LIFT Ministries in con-junction with the Office for the New Evangelization of Youth and Young Adults of the Archdiocese of Boston. For further information, see the Web site at GodofthisCi-tyTour.com or contact Holy Family Parish.

Lt. John M Buckley, of Duxbury, formerly of S. Weymouth, died suddenly at home Nov. 17 at the age of 46.

Lt. Buckley graduated from Weymouth South High School in 1983. He was a resident of Duxbury

for the last 18 years. He was a football coach for Duxbury Youth Football for many years and cherished every moment spent with “his boys.”

He was a 23 year veteran of the Plymouth County Sheriffs Department. In 2001 he ob-tained the rank of Lieutenant and became the commanding officer of the Warrant Apprehen-sion Unit. In 2006, Lt. Buckley received a spe-cial Deputation from the US Marshall Service.

He leaves his wife of 18 years, Cynthia M. (Hirl) Buckley; his children, Dylan Buckley and Madison Buckley of Duxbury; his parents, Francis and Joan Buckley (Peers); a brother, Donald Buckley of Middleboro; a sister, Laurie and her husband James Boulter of Pembroke; mother-in-law Alicia Devlin of E Bridgewa-ter; brothers-in-law to James Hirl of Quincy, Joseph and Carole Hirl of Michigan; sister-in-law, Denise Hirl of Michigan; and many nieces and nephews, close friends and his best friend Pepin.

A funeral Mass was held Nov. 23 at Holy Family Church, Duxbury. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the John M. Buckley memorial fund for the benefit of his children c/o Rockland Trust 184 Summer Street, Kings-ton, MA 02364.

Lt. John M. Buckley, 46

Elizabeth Hopkins Lewis Baer, wife of the late Robert Andrew Baer, Sr., died in Charlotte, North Carolina, on Nove. 12. Born on January 14, 1920, she was the daughter of Versal Mat-thews Lewis and David Thomas Lewis.

She met Robert at Columbia High School in Maplewood, New Jersey. They were mar-ried shortly before Bob, at the time a young lieutenant in the United States Army, left by ship for Europe and our country’s engagement in World War II. Bob, having been promoted to Captain, finally returned from the War safe and sound and first saw their young daughter, Bet-sy. Through the years, business transfers took the couple and their children from Chatham, New Jersey, to Lyons, New York; then back to Summit, New Jersey, then on to Duxbury, en-

joying life and making close friends all along the way.

Ms. Baer leaves her children Elizabeth Ann Baer Perkin and Robert A. Baer, Jr. She was the mother-in-law of Mary Mallory Kountze Baer and the late John Thorne Perkin. She will be greatly missed by her grandchildren Barrett, Robert III and Annie Baer as well as Christopher, Thorne and Richard Perkin; her daughters-in-law Jenny, Tatiana and Ashley and son-in-law Sebastian; and also her step grandchildren Bart, Will and Molly Jennings. She was also the grandmother of Jack, Cole and Teddy Perkin.

In lieu of flowers, the family encourages friends to make a donation to the charity of your choice.

Dolin’s recent work describes the fur trade as a powerful force in shaping the course of American history from the early 1600s through the late 1800s, playing a major role in the settlement and evolution of the colonies, and in the growth of the United States. Dolin will lecture and use a power point presen-tation to create an exciting narrated tour of the country’s fur trade heritage. Westwinds Bookshop will provide books for sale and signing. Due to the expected popularity of this event, tickets will be required for entry. Reserve your free tickets now by either calling the library at 781-934-2721 x108, or visiting the bookshop .


in their work to replace or ren-ovate the town’s aging public safety buildings.

Plans for the fire station are further along than those for the police station because this year, voters approved $292,000 for design funds for the fire station.

In the proposed fire station addition, the north wing that holds the current crew quar-ters would be demolished and in its place will be a new 6,170 square foot two-story wing with administrative offices on the first floor and crew quar-ters above.

The first floor of the addi-tion will house offices, meet-ing rooms, a first aid room for injured people who come to the fire station for help as well as areas that are lacking in the current fire station: a decon-tamination room and a gear turn-out area. The crew quar-ters will have four bunkrooms, male and female bathrooms, a day room, fitness area and kitchen.

Also, the plans call for a new three-bay 1,690 square foot garage attached to the rear of the new addition for storage of the department’s smaller equipment.

The emergency operations wing and central fire truck ga-rage bays will be kept, said Martecchini. These will re-ceive necessary upgrades such as new lighting, heating and a fire alarm system. Plus the in-spection pit will be removed and the apparatus bay will receive required seismic up-grades. In addition, there will be site upgrades for parking, septic, drainage and landscap-ing.

The cost of the entire proj-ect totals $4.48 million, which includes the already allocated $292,000 in design funds and $3.42 million for construction. However, the committee will be asking Town Meeting vot-ers to approve $4.2 million. A previous proposal in 2009 for an entirely new fire sta-tion on the current site totaled $5.2 million. This passed town meeting but the mechanism to pay for it — a debt exclu-sion, or temporary tax over-ride —failed to garner enough votes at the ballot (1399 in fa-vor to 1642 against.)

In offering the cost of the proposed addition and renova-tions, Martecchini emphasized he was being “super cautious” and that the figures were very preliminary.

If Town Meeting approves the $4.2 million project, it will again be put to the voters on the ballot as a debt exclusion. If the town approves the proj-ect, construction would begin in July 2011 and the new fire station could be finished by August 2012, said Martec-chini. During construction, the fire fighters would have to be

housed in temporary trailers but the administration offices would not be disturbed since they are above the emergency operations wing.

Fire Chief Kevin Nord commended the public safety committee and said he ap-proved of the plans.

“I can’t praise them enough,” said Nord. “This ad-dresses the needs of the fire fighters, the apparatus and gear, office space and crew quarters. It is not extravagant by any means.”

While the plans for the fire station are complete and ready for public consideration, the same cannot be said of plans for a new police station.

Martecchini said the pub-lic safety committee has been working on selecting a site for a new police station but has not yet chosen one.

It is considering three loca-tions and has a consultant rec-ommendation for one of them. Also, the committee is not yet sure whether to ask voters to fund the cost of the design only, which is estimated to be $300,000, or both the design and the construction costs of a new station, which could total $6.6 million.

The first of the three loca-tions the committee is consid-ering is 21.38 acres of wooded town-owned land on Lincoln Street near Alexander Way. This land was bought in the 1980s for affordable housing, said Martecchini. The police station would take up three to four acres, reserving the rest for future housing.

The second site is the ex-isting police station property on West Street; however, Mar-tecchini said the town would have to both acquire the ad-jacent property at 467 West Street as well as demolish the ledge and build an expensive retaining wall to be able to have a large enough site, 2.08 acres, to hold a new station and enough parking. The third site is 19 acres of town-owned land on Mayflower Street on the same side as the transfer

station before the Cranberry Hill neighborhood.

“This site has the most sup-port on the committee now,” Martecchini, adding “there is no legal impediment for us to build on that site.”

However, Martecchini cautioned that soil samples needed to be taken to make sure there was no hazardous materials underground that have leeched from the capped landfill area near by.

The committee’s consul-tant recommends the May-flower Street site.

Selectmen recognized the pressing need for a new police station but wondered about the best way to proceed. They and Martecchini discussed wheth-er the committee should seek a Town Meeting article for de-sign funds only or for design and construction funds.

“I hate to delay the police station,” said Selectman Bet-sy Sullivan. “Every day that building is open is an insult to the people who work there.”

Selectman Christopher Donato was concerned about the impact of both the fire station and the police station projects for residents and their taxes.

“People are still struggling and it’s going to be tough to see two big projects at once,” he said.

Selectmen discussed bor-rowing the $300,000 for the police station design, but were concerned that this took the decision away from voters at the ballot. Also, they noted the momentum of the school building committee’s new middle/high school project, which could compete with the two public safety buildings for taxpayer dollars.

Selectmen instructed the committee to return to them next month with a final recom-mendation for a site and Town Meeting article.

When the José Mateo Ballet Theatre brings The Nutcracker to the Duxbury Performing Arts Center this weekend, 13-year-old Dux-bury resident Grace Houghton will be dancing the lead role. “Clara” is the role that little girls dream of, and Grace has been working since the age of five to attain it.

Over the years, she has danced every child’s part in The Nutcracker. She has been a mouse, a Polichinelle (one of the dolls that dances out from under Mother Ginger’s skirt), a cherub, a soldier, a party girl and an angel.

“When Scott Frasier (Man-aging Director of José Mateo Ballet Theatre) called to offer me the part I was so excited,” says Grace. “He told us to think it over and call him back with an answer. So we hung up, and my mom asked ‘Do you want to do it?’ and I said, ‘Yes!’ and we called him right back.”

That was in September. In the three months since then, Grace has been traveling up to Boston four times a week for rehearsals at José Mateo Bal-let Theatre’s main campus in Cambridge. She also juggles school, homework, and her regular ballet classes at Bal-let Theatre’s Duxbury campus at South Shore Conservatory. On rehearsal nights she eats dinner in the car on the way up to Boston, and does her

homework in the car on the way home. “I get home around 10:30 p.m., so my mom lets me sleep in. She drives me to school in the morning,” Grace explains. This is one challenge of having such a big part in The Nutcracker. “I have to make sure I am getting enough sleep!”

The role of Clara in José Mateo’s production is a large, intricate part. Traditionally, The Nutcracker is choreo-graphed to showcase the adult company dancers. JMBT’s production capitalizes on all the magic and virtuosity of its professional dancers, “but Mr. Mateo also really wants to show off the kids and how well they dance,” says Grace.

“Clara dances en pointe in-stead of in flat ballet slippers. It takes a more advanced stu-dent to do the role in his pro-duction.” She enjoyed the challenge. “Magda (a JMBT company dancer and her cho-reography coach) would go through the dance like it was a comedy. She’d tell us the story behind each movement so it was easy to remember.”

Years from now, Grace will remember this holiday season. “From the first time I did The Nutcracker, when I was a little mouse, I just loved it. It was so magical. This year, everything is amazing: the teachers, the costumes, the choreography. It’s what I’ve always dreamed of doing.”

See Grace living out her dream on Friday, Nov. 26 at 4 p.m. and Saturday, Nov. 27 at 1:30 p.m. at the Duxbury Performing Arts Center. For Nutcracker ticket informa-tion, visit ballettheatre.org. Grace will also be appearing at the Sugar Plum Tea Party, following the Saturday, Nov. 27 matinee from 3-5 p.m., at South Shore Conservatory, 64 St.George Street. For tickets to the Sugar Plum Tea Party and information about José Mateo Ballet Theatre Young Dancers Program at South Shore Con-servatory, visit sscmusic.org or call 781-934-2731 x11.

Come to the Duxbury Marketplace for Holly Days!

Sunday, November 28thNoon-4pm


have this really fun Christmas Holiday,” she said.

Holly Days, the annual holiday festival put on by the DBA, is now in its sixth year (Antonellis has been the as-sociation’s president for eight years).

For a couple of years, An-tonellis had hosted photos with Santa on the porch of her of-fice. Expanding on that, Holly Days turned into a number of events in the various business areas in town (Hall’s Corner, Snug Harbor, Millbrook, etc.) hosted by local businesses.

“The first year, it was al-most like an experiment,” she said.

But over the years, the number and quality of the events grew, and the residents of town started coming out in droves.

“I feel like it’s become a little bit of a staple,” Antonel-lis said. “I think it’s really cool because of the idea of living in a small town – they’re feeling it.”

The overarching purpose of Holly Days is for the as-sociation to give back to the community that is supportive of them throughout the year. For Antonellis and the other DBA members, the fact that all events are free is paramount.

“No one’s putting their hands out for anything,” she said. “The people in town give a lot to the businesses in town.”

This year’s Holly Days will include perennial favor-ites, like the puppet show at the Art Complex Museum, a local magician and of course, Santa. (See sidebar for full listing.)

There are also some new highlights, including a Cole Porter review by the Plymouth

Community Theater at Snug Harbor and “Cold Turkey Tours” at the Alden House. The tours are so name because, well, it’s cold in the unheated, uninsulated Alden House at the end of November.

Antonellis is also particu-larly excited about the Blood-mobile that will be visiting the Senior Center.

Overall, the festival truly has something for everyone, she feels.

“I think it’s a nice mix of different ages,” she said.

Although they don’t have storefronts for Holly Days visitors to explore, Antonel-lis pointed out that the service people in the Duxbury Busi-ness Association –– the land-scapers, handymen, financial

planners etc. –– are a big part of the day as well, sponsoring events and giving back.

“The service people in the DBA do a lot of work for this,” she said. “It’s not all about re-tail.”

While the major thrust of Holly Days is for the business-es to give back to the commu-nity, Antonellis said she also hopes it serves as a reminder to Duxbury residents that their friends and neighbors own businesses in this community.

“I’m hoping it reminds them while they’re shopping at Derby Street, etc. that they can come here,” she said. “If these businesses disappear we will be sad. We’re all just try-ing to make a living.”

The Dec. 1 meeting of the Duxbury Camera Club will feature the work of seven members who will be present-ing their work via digital slide show. Participating are Anne Henning, Glenn Pollock, Steve Schroeder, Lynne Ford, Lisa Ryan, Fran Nichols, Jen Alice Flaherty and Kathy Dix-on. Each presenter has chosen a specific topic to showcase a special area of interest. Those wide-ranging topics include a river trip through Provence, a view into the creative process, fall in New England, birds in

their natural habitat, a tropi-cal getaway and an intriguing program from Anne Henning called “Rubato.”

In other news, Duxbury Camera Club has recently initiated a new project – the theme challenge of the month. The theme for December is “Footwear.” All members are invited to bring in a print that best illustrates that theme. The idea is to share the work for comment and feedback. These prints will be viewed during the holiday party which will feature optional pot luck

“goodies” provided by mem-bers.

The Club meets the first Wednesday of each month, except July and August, in the Merry Room of the Duxbury Free Library. Doors open at 6:30 p.m., with the meeting from 7-9:15 p.m. Everyone is invited to visit a regular meet-ing. Monthly workshops, field trips and critiquing are open to members only. For more infor-mation, visit www.duxburyca-meraclub.org or e-mail [email protected].

Kings of the ConifersBy fahy ByGate, Clipper Columnist

Shortly after I started watching birds, I convinced a friend to go birding with me in a park near her home in Georgia. We each had hiking boots, a bottle of water

and a lot of enthusiasm and optimism. What we didn’t have was a pair of binoculars or a bird book. In all the years since that happy day, I have tried to not worry about the boots, the water or the enthusiasm but always to remember the binoculars. The only birds we were able to find in two hours of thrashing through the woods were some tiny balls of energy too far up in the pines for us to know what they were. All we could hear was a jumble of thin “zee zee zees” and trills. Eventually we were able to see that the birds were very small and very active. We danced around the ground under the tree straining to get just one good look at one of these frenetic creatures until we were exhausted. All the way

home we compared notes: “I think I saw something yellow ... well I know one of them was brown ... for sure they were small...” Pathetic. But once home, my friend had the

good sense to call her neighbor, an experienced birder. When the woman got through laughing at our ineptitude, she announced “kinglets.”

Since then finding kinglets is easy but identifying them is still a challenge. I get dizzy just looking for them. But luckily for us we can find them almost any time of the year. Why is it that some of the tiniest birds to be found in New England stay here all winter! Chickadees, nuthatches, kinglets? Tiny balls of feathers with enviable metabolism that show up in the fall and spend the entire winter with us, despite the weather. They show the good sense not to hang around here in the summer but you can always count on them all winter.

We have two types of kinglets in North America: Ruby-crowned and Golden-crowned. The name kinglet comes from a legend that Wikipedia relates: “… a fable of the election of the ‘king of birds.’ The bird who could fly the longest distance would be made king. The eagle outflew all other birds, but he was beaten by a small bird who had hidden itself in his plumage.” Today kinglets do not hold the record for flying the longest distance, which title goes to the Arctic tern who flies more than 44,000 miles annually. But kinglets are amazing little birds nonetheless.

Kinglets are very small gray-green birds, not much bigger than a hummingbird. They prefer the tops of conifers where they glean the trees for tiny insects. They flicker their wings and call constantly. Kinglets are insectivores and even in the dead of winter find food by constantly foraging. Despite their drab coloring, they have a streak of color on the tops of their head. It is a lucky birder who catches a Ruby-crowned turning its head just right so that suddenly a brilliant flash of red appears and then disappears just as quickly. It happens so fast you cannot really be sure that you saw it, and it always causes me to gasp. Golden-crowned Kinglets have a black stripe through eyes with a white eyebrow making them a little easier to identify then the mostly drab Ruby-crowned.

Get out into the woods, look up at the tops of our White Pines and find yourself a kinglet and celebrate winter!

Pilgrim Church holds Candlelight Taizé Services

Pilgrim Church of Dux-bury will be holding candle-light evening prayer services in the tradition of the Taizé community during Advent. In what is often a hectic race to the holidays, the church is opening its doors to everyone in the community who would like to take a half hour during their week and share in this beautiful and simple service that fosters peace and reflec-tion. Services, which consist mainly of meditative singing and a stretch of prayerful si-lence, will be held from 7-7:30 p.m. on Wednesdays, Dec. 1, 8 and 15.

The Taizé service takes its name from the tiny village of Taizé in Burgundy, France, home to an extraordinary community of faith. Roger Schultz, a young seminary stu-dent, founded the community in a desire to offer hospitality, refuge and reconciliation in re-sponse to the hostilities of the Second World War. Call the church office at 781-934-6591 with questions.

Storyplay for adults and children

An interactive story-time offering artistic play surrounding a favorite chil-dren’s book will be offered by staff from the South Shore Conservatory on Tuesday, Dec. 7, 10:30-11 a.m. in the Resource Room of the Duxbury Free Library. Children ages 3 to 5 accom-panied by an adult may reg-ister for the event which will include ideas for creative play at home plus time for parents/caregivers to share and learn. To register online: www.duxburyfreelibrary.org, by phone at 781-934-2721 x115 or in person at the children’s reference desk.

We’re thankful for our local

businessThis weekend is Holly Days, the annual festival

put on by the Duxbury Business Association that, despite only being six years old, is already

entrenched as one of the holiday highlights in the town of Duxbury.

It’s always a great day, and tons of fun. Being on the trolleys that escort revelers to and from the various business neighborhoods in town, and listening to the high school carolers, is a sure-fire way to get into the holiday spirits at the end of November. The day is a celebration of all the things that make Duxbury a great, tight-knit community to live and work in.

The folks at the DBA do a great job (and put in work year-round, not just when the weather gets cold) organizing and running the day’s events. It’s a great way for the businesses to give back to the community, and all the events are free.

DBA President Anne Antonellis says the date of the festival wasn’t intended to be a dig at the morbidly-titled faux-holiday going on in big box stores around the country the same weekend: Black Friday. But the timing hasn’t escaped our notice. The same weekend Holly Days are going on, shoppers are lining up at absurd hours for steep discounts at national chains. While it’s tough to lecture people about where to shop, especially in these tough economic times, it feels like one more way the big corporate guys are pushing Mom and Pop places out the door.

So we’re asking our readers to start a new post-Thanksgiving tradition. On Black Friday, instead of waiting in line at Wal-Mart for a new TV, make an effort to stop into a local store and spend a few bucks. Maybe it won’t seem like much to you, but it will make the world of difference to your friends and neighbors who own and operate these stores. (And of course, to the more service-oriented local business owners who don’t necessarily have a store for you to stop into.) It will help keep Duxbury’s local business community thriving.

On this Thanksgiving eve, we’re thankful for all of the local businesses in town that persevere during trying economic times, bringing high quality goods and services to the community. And we’re thankful, as one of those local businesses, for a savvy and supportive citizenry that supports us. Happy Holidays to all.

–– J. Graeber

After returning to the Percy Walker Pool after a year and a

half of being away from it, I was immediately impressed by its newfound beauty and stun-ning improvements. The up-grades make sense and ensure welcome to an ever widening audience of swimmers with dis-parate needs, but with a united goal: to maintain through ex-

ercise their invaluable health. What a pleasure to see sun-light streaming onto swimming lanes, to feel the new, cool tiles under foot, to be raised by a new aesthetic now attendant to the place!

Thank you, then, planners and voters who recalled to life this lovely public pool, now twice-given to a community which prizes athleticism on

field, links, and ocean, AND in pool. Thank you, taxpayers, who said yes to this reward-ing endeavor of making prac-tical improvement and refur-bishment, of gifting again this prized and precious pool to its citizenry.

Happy Thanksgiving!

On last Friday eve-ning, I watched the film called “Har-

mony: A New Way of Look-ing at Our World” by Prince Charles, Duke of Winsor. It made me realize the great need to change and strive to end our foolish ways. He made an excellent case and charged us to preserve our fragile world. There is still time to end our destruction of the very things we profess to cherish. It will be difficult but not impossible to become responsible for our children’s heritage.

Seeing the aerial photos of the English countryside with lots of open space and the vil-lages of close clustered dwell-

ings, it made me wonder why are we, in Duxbury, so adverse to having increased density. If we are truly committed to pre-serving open space, why does our current zoning require an acre to an acre and a half mini-

mum lot size. Duxbury’s his-tory is replete with small hous-es on small lots. A reasonable question is are we taking open space to preserve open space? How does this make sense?

Many say they’re for con-servation, alternate energy and sustainable living. However, we still drive our SUVs, balk at wind towers, strive to close Pil-grim. Perhaps I should also in-clude all the chemicals and wa-ter we use just to have a green lawn. It seems we’re all just talk. What’s needed is respon-sible action because it’s never too late to do the right thing.

Phew. The last guest has pulled out of the driveway and

you can finally put your feet up. Only a food writer would suggest heading back into the kitchen for more cooking ... just a little and it will be so worth it. Rich aromatic tur-key soup is a simply soothing aftertaste to the intense food-oriented holiday. The hours it spends simmering stovetop lend themselves nicely to that quiet time in front of the fire that you so deserve after a hectic week. The only caveat is that you should make the turkey broth base as soon as possible after the Thanksgiv-ing dinner, as the bits of meat still attached to the carcass will spoil in a few days. Save your leftover bones, skin and gravy to add to the soup base. Wrap leftover turkey meat (off the bone) tightly and save until ready to add to the soup.

Turkey SoupMakes 6 to 10 servingsBroth:1 turkey carcass, picked

over. Save the bits of meat1 carrot, cut into 4 pieces1 onion, cut into 4 pieces1 stalk of celery, cut into

chunks5 or 6 strands of parsley6-8 whole peppercorns1 teaspoon dried thyme1 bay leaf3 tablespoons of kosher

salt4 quarts of water Leftover gravy (optional)Pop the turkey carcass

into a tall stockpot, cover with

cold water, add all the remain-ing ingredients, plus any left-over turkey bones, turkey skin and gravy. Simmer for up to three hours. To achieve a clear broth, simmer slowly. Boiling the broth results in the same good taste but yields a cloudier base. Using tongs, remove the carcass and vegetables. Strain the broth through a fine sieve into a large container. Cool and skim off the fat that rises to the top. You should have about 12 cups of broth. If you want a more intense flavor, simmer the strained broth and reduce the volume from 12 cups to 8. Once cooled, the broth can be refrigerated or frozen for fu-ture use.

Soup:1 tablespoon vegetable oil1 onion, minced2 carrots, chopped6 ounces of egg noodles1 cup frozen peas2 to 3 cups turkey meat,

cut into spoon size piecesSalt and PepperHeat the oil in a pan. Add

the onion and carrots and sauté until fragrant. Add the onion and carrots into simmering turkey broth and simmer for about 10 minutes. Add the egg noodles and cook another 10 minutes. Once the carrots and noodles are cooked, add the frozen peas, chopped parsley and the turkey meat. Salt and pepper to taste

Variations: I find that the egg noodles, while adding noodly-yumminess to the soup, often swell up and become mealy in the leftover soup. If you plan on eating this soup over a day or two (or freez-ing it), consider cooking the noodles separately and adding them to the bowls before serv-ing. I am wild about barley and often substitute cooked barley for the egg noodles. Cook the barley according to package di-rections. Rinse it and add it to the cooked soup when you add the peas, turkey and parsley. Barley is delicious, nutritious and more cooperative than noodles; barley doesn’t swell in the broth.

Chandler second grade students offer a ‘Helping Hand’

Sixty second grade students got out of bed early recent-

ly to participate in the first Helping Hands event of the year. These students helped sort gently-used books do-nated by the entire Chandler School community during the Spread the Word Book Drive. The books have been donat-ed to an elementary school, Dennis E. Haley School, in Roslindale. The children de-signed bookmarks and post-ers about their favorite books as gifts to accompany the book donations. In addition, they created a festive mural that is now on display at the Duxbury Senior Center.

Harry Papp and Kevin McHugh decorate

bookmarks to accom-pany the books.

On Saturday, Dec. 5, from 9 a.m.-1 p.m. the cafetorium and gym at Chandler School will be transformed into a winter wonderland full of fun family activities includ-ing breakfast, crafts, games with prizes, and photos with Santa or a character from Jose Mateo Ballet’s produc-tion of The Nutcracker. Each of these activities is included

in the admission price of $6 per person or $25 per fam-ily if purchased in advance. Tickets will be available at the door for $7 per person. Children under 2 are free of charge.

There will be themed gift baskets as well as a si-lent auction and a popular teacher auction –– new this year.

Be sure to bring a cam-era for pictures with Santa. Santa Tom has been wear-ing his Santa suit for over 25 years and has taken the Santa

Claus oath. For more infor-mation and pictures, visit his site weysanta.com.

All proceeds from the event will go to the Chandler PTA. To order tickets in ad-vance, send an envelope with the desired amount of tickets and a check made payable to the Chandler PTA to school with your child by Dec. 2. All tickets will be held at the door of the event. For more information, contact Jan Bruno [email protected] or Tina Courtier [email protected].

Elvis sang about a Blue Christmas without you. When Bing Crosby first

dreamed of a White Christmas – Christmas, 1941 – the nation was still reeling from the Day of Infamy at Pearl Harbor a few days earlier. Irving Berlin had written the song, the Wikipedia story goes, in Phoenix, Arizona, and he had in mind the snowless reaches of “Beverly Hills, L.A.” as mentioned in the seldom sung intro verse. A country

at war in the Pacific and North Africa saw it differently, and dreamed for its soldiers, sailors, and airmen overseas.

Now you can dream of a Green Christmas, and the Community Garden Club of Duxbury can help.

They are holding their annual Greens Sale Saturday, Dec. 4, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Cornerstone Lodge, 585 Washington St., not far from the Blue Fish River Bridge. I swapped phone messages with Club President Lisa Pattinson, but we couldn’t connect. Club member Shelley Beeby filled me in on the details.

This garden club reaches back to 1927, and currently has over 150 members. Ever wonder who maintains the lush plantings at Duxbury’s roundabouts and a dozen other such

It’s been a foregone conclu-sion by most local high school football fans that the Marsh-field Rams suffered through a sub-par season and are playing out the string on Thanksgiving Day. It couldn’t be any further from the truth.

A flicker of hope is still burning for the Rams, and prayers are being said for Plymouth South, who must beat Plymouth North if the Rams are to stay in conten-tion to take on Duxbury in the MIAA Division 2A semifinals on Nov. 30.

A two-way tie atop the At-lantic Coast Conference will send Marshfield to the playoffs, as they beat Dennis-Yarmouth, 14-12, earlier in the season. A win by Plymouth North over South will have the Dragons taking on Dennis-Yarmouth

While the Turkey Day game between the Plymouths is crucial to Marshfield’s fu-ture, the game with Duxbury is also important for the Marsh-field seniors, who have yet to

beat the Dragons in the annual game during their four-year high school careers.

With a 5-4 overall record, this could shape up as the Rams’ Super Bowl game and

there is no doubt the hosts would love to snap Duxbury’s unbeaten streak at 10 and their winless senior streak at three.

Leading the series 12-11-2, Coach Lou Silva will take a Rams squad onto the field that will be a rare sight for Duxbury fans. No longer is Marshfield the smash-mouth football team that terrorized opponents on the South Shore and produced linemen of col-lege proportions that made its running game so productive.

The 2010 Rams return just three seniors and have close to eight or nine players on the shelf, putting Silva in a posi-tion he has rarely been in in his 29 years of coaching.

“We just don’t have the depth on this team,” said Sil-va. “Most of these kids were

backups last year.”While depth could be a

problem for the Rams, it hasn’t been one for the Dragons, who carry 34 sophomores on the team, many of who start or have played significant roles in Duxbury’s undefeated sea-son.

“Our record may not look that great, but four of the first six games we played this year were against teams that have already made the playoffs,” said Silva.

Running the show for Marshfield is senior QB Jona-than Fraser, with juniors Bryan Mey, Mark Pomella and Mike Williams as his running backs. While the offensive line is one of the smaller groups in Sil-va’s tenure, it still sports junior

21st anniversary for Festival of Trees

This year the Festival of Trees is celebrat-ing its 21st anniver-

sary, in honor of the 30th anni-versary of Cranberry Hospice.

For further information on Festival of Trees or to become a volunteer or sponsor, contact the Friends of Cranberry Hospice, 781-934-7778, [email protected]. To learn more about the Festival visit www.cranberryhospice.org/festival.

spots around town? Ever wonder how the Duxbury Business Association’s Holly Days makes the town’s shops look so festive? It’s the Community Garden Club.

“Our new members all agree to volunteer their time for 15 hours every year,” Shelley explained. The seasoned members get a little break at 10 hours, “or a hundred,” Shelley added, “but that’s not required.”

This week a group of them will be going green in the town forest, with full approval, to do some sustainable gathering of greens for the sale. That means that much of what you see for sale on Saturday has been locally, naturally, sustainably grown. They’ve pre-sold about 120 wreaths, and the sale will emphasize all the other items you may have forgotten (they’re a little wreathed out).

Kissing Balls are a favorite of mine, those decorative spheres of greens made to hang like mistletoe at strategic spots around the house, beckoning lovers to steal or demand a Holiday Kiss. Fireplace baskets and mantle decorations, centerpieces, and flower arrangements will join the collection. They’ll even offer a new and “gently used” Garden Boutique: pots, gizmos, and tools that gardeners tend to collect, but also tend to crave.

Flower arrangements? Ever wonder who provides the arrangements every week at the Duxbury Free Library? Or how about the Fraser fir saplings that our elementary school kids bring home every Arbor Day? The Greens Sale is the club’s primary fund raiser for all of these activities.

The sale also helps with the club’s scholarship, given to college students studying horticulture or environmental science, and the Club’s Hortitherapy (gardening therapy) Duxborough Village, the town’s senior housing behind Foodie’s.

Membership in the club is inclusive. You’ll need to meet a current member to sponsor you, but the way Shelley tells it, that’s more to screen people in, not out.

“We want people to know someone when they first start coming,” she said, “instead of coming into a room full of strangers.”

With over 150 active members around town, that shouldn’t be too hard, and the membership fee is nominal. The club is active summer and winter. Don’t think that Bing’s White Christmas will mean that gardening is finished for the year.

Maybe starting for the year is a good way to think about it, and buying greens and goodies can kick off the season for you and your family. Did I mention the goodies? Oh, yes, they’ll be selling fresh baked goodies, too. What a way to start the Holidays! Charity, love, sustainability, and chocolate chips!

Anthony Vaughn (6’1’/245) at right tackle and junior guard Jake Galler (6’1”/210) along side. Center Jeffrey Wallace (5’10”/225), guard Michael McGuiggan (6’0”/220), and tackle Matthew Entwistle (6’3”/190) round out the of-fensive line.

“We had to tweak our of-fense this year,” said Silva. “We just couldn’t overpower people like we did in the past.

We had to work hard at out-scheming people and using the quick passing game and get-ting our kids out in space.’

While size may no longer be an advantage for the Rams, it isn’t because of any drop-off in the Marshfield feeder sys-tem.

“The numbers are good. We just don’t have that many big kids like in the past,” said Silva.

One area where the of-

fense has suffered is in points scored, as the Rams are aver-aging just under 17 points per game, compared to Duxbury’s 30.

“Williams and Pomella are the power runners inside. Then we try to get Mey, Fraser, Derek Damon, and Jake Ryan as our outside threats. We ba-sically run from the tackles out,” said Silva, who admits his offense has turned into a dink and dunk Patriot-like at-tack. “Short passes, play-ac-tion passes, quick hitches and quick outs. That is the stuff we like to run now.”

One area where Marsh-field can match the Dragons is defensive speed according to Silva.

“We’ve got kids that can run. All of our kids on the de-fensive side are quick and our linebacking corps is pretty sol-id. Pomella and Wallace on the inside have been tremendous

this year. They are relentless to the ball and they go both ways, but don’t seem to get tired.”

Facing Duxbury’s offense has been a challenge for most defenses, but Silva knows what he has to do in order to stop the Dragons.

“First off we have to make those QBs uncomfortable and put pressure on them to disrupt the passing game so they have to beat us with the run,” said Silva. “We need to prevent the quick strike. They are a big-play offense and we need them to dink and dunk it all the

way down the field. We have to take away the big play, and offensively we need to find a way to keep them from putting nine guys up on the line. We have to spread things out with different formations and keep them from clogging the line of scrimmage.”

While this rivalry contin-ues to produce winning teams that make it deep into the play-offs, it looks like this could be Duxbury’s year for revenge and bragging rights on the South Shore.
