A spotlight hits a darkened stage and suddenly, it’s just you and several hundred of your closest friends.

Being on stage can be an intimidating experience, but on Saturday night at the Per-forming Arts Center, nine Duxbury High School students handled it with aplomb during Duxbury Idol.

Superintendent of Schools Susan Skeiber kicked off the proceedings.

“It takes a lot of courage to get up here and perform for you,” she said. “Tonight you’ll have the opportunity to hear


For one night, the tables were turned and the volunteers

of Duxbury, who usually work tirelessly behind the scenes to make this town a better place, were placed front and center. Twenty-nine volunteers were honored during a dinner at the Village at Duxbury last Wednesday night.

Although all the volun-

teers’ accomplishments were impressive, one couple stood out above the crowd, and Tom and Patricia Guilfoile were honored as volunteers of the year.

“We feel very humbled,” said Tom Guilfoile upon ac-cepting the honor. “That was an impressive list ... I think all of us here should be very proud.”

He also deferred the praise to his wife, joking that

After several well-attended public hearings, the Conserva-tion Commission rejected a proposal to build a pier at the former Drew estate on Wash-ington Street.

John and Doreen McLaughlin, owners of 685 Washington St., were ask-ing permission to build a pier that extended out over the salt marsh into the Bluefish River. Opponents said a pier in this location would blemish one of the most iconic views in Dux-bury.

The McLaughlins’ engi-neer, Paul Brogna of Seacoast Engineering, presented some updated plans to the commis-sion, noting that the position of the pier had moved slightly. The proposed pier was to be 197 1/2 feet long with a railing on the right-hand side.

Paul Discroll, an attorney representing the McLaughlins, said that he wanted to correct a contention by pier opponents that the original property own-ers didn’t want piers built on the Bluefish River. He pointed

At their meeting on Wednesday night, May 5, the Duxbury School Committee released the names of the three final candidates for the super-intendent of schools position.

The candidates are: Dr. Middleton McGoodwin, cur-rently the Marshfield super-intendent, James Hayden of the Brockton schools and Dr. Benedict Tantillo, a superin-tendent in New Jersey.

The person selected will

replace Susan Skeiber, who will be leaving in June.

Skeiber told the School Committee at their Jan. 6 meet-ing that she would be leaving, without specifying a reason.

The Board of Selectmen has reversed course, and voted Monday night to rescind their order that blue trash bags only be sold in town.

The bags are a part of Dux-bury’s Pay-As-You-Throw program. Residents must pur-chase blue trash bags stamped with the town seal in order to dispose of waste –– but there is no cost for recycling. The program is meant to encour-age recycling.

After a vote of the board several weeks ago, stores out-side of Duxbury stopped car-rying the bag, which led to an outcry from some residents, who said they lived too far away from the stores that car-ried the bags.

After he was elected and installed as the chairman of the Board of Selectmen, Shawn Dahlen said he wanted to revisit the vote.

“Not all people necessar-ily go to downtown,” he said.

At Monday night’s meet-ing, Dahlen said he spoke to several residents, as well as the managers of some out-of-town stores.

“As a uniform theme, ev-ery one of them said they’d had a lot of disgruntled peo-ple,” he said of the managers. He said most of the “big box” stores were willing to carry the bags as long as they had customers requesting them –– for them, it was a customer relations issue.

Dahlen also spoke to Anne Antonellis of the Duxbury

Business Association and Vic-tor Leon of Foodie’s. Antonel-lis said she was hearing much of the same feedback from residents.

“She wanted to promote Duxbury ... but she didn’t want to have any negativity happen towards shopping Duxbury because of trash bags,” said Dahlen.

Leon had a similar senti-ment, Dahlen said.

“He doesn’t want ‘shop Duxbury’ to be thought of as a negative,” he said.

Betsy Sullivan, who pushed for the original vote to

keep the bags local, said she still felt strongly that the mea-sure was a good thing for local business. However, she said she didn’t want to “start World War III” over the issue.

“The last thing I want to do is make people feel nega-tive,” she said. “But we’re New Englanders and we don’t like to be told what to do, I un-derstand that.”

Selectman Christopher Donato said he has been hear-ing similar complaints from residents about the inconve-nience of the blue bags, espe-cially from seniors.

“I think it actually is work-ing against our goal of encour-aging recycling,” he said.

Sullivan said that the complaint she has been hear-ing most from residents was, “why aren’t the bags being sold at the dump?”

Town Manager Richard MacDonald said that was a manpower issue, but Dahlen asked if the town could con-sider a specialized vending machine.

The board voted unani-mously to allow the bags to be sold out of town –– although Sullivan asked that the town be judicious about which big box stories carried the bags, something other board mem-bers agreed with.

“We’re here to help all residents, including the busi-ness owners,” said Dahlen. “I think we can do things to try to keep what business we have in Duxbury alive and active.”

• The board voted to post-pone the land use summit, originally scheduled for May 19. The selectmen had not heard back from several of the major land use boards in town such as the Planning Board and Zoning Board of Appeals, so they decided to postpone until the fall. An exact date has not been set.

• Selectmen voted to approve several expenditures from the Ellison Fund, including $8,000 for renovations to Chandler Field, $4,000 for fencing at Coppens Field, $2,750 for the replacement of wood chips at the Ellison playgrounds and $3,250 for a safety inspec-tion and repair of the play-grounds.

• The board postponed voting on the collective bargaining agreement between the town and SEIU Local 888, which represents Duxbury Free Library employees.

At the time she said she had no clear job prospects, and would consider another superinten-dent or administrative job, as well as consulting or teaching in higher education.

The consulting group Fu-ture Management Systems was hired by the district to lead the search for the next superintendent, and conducted several focus groups of staff, town officials and residents. In March, the School Committee appointed a 10-member com-mittee to screen and forward candidates to them (however, the ultimate hiring authority rests with the School Commit-tee).

Ken McCarthy of the Su-perintendent Search Commit-tee gave a presentation to the School Committee Wednesday night.

The committee received 20 applications and recently completed the screening. On Wednesday, McCarthy brought forward the group’s top three finalists. In his presentation, McCarthy acknowledged the efforts of an outside consul-tant, who helped the commit-tee in their search, as well as all the members of the search

committee. He briefly named the three

finalists and gave a list of their positions and achievements, saying “Each candidate of-fers individuals strengths that would benefit Duxbury.”

A little more about the can-didates, according to a press release given to the School Committee on Wednesday:

Hayden is currently the executive director of opera-tions and administration for the Brockton Public School Department, where he is responsible for facilities, transportation, food service, communications, crisis man-agement, school security and extended school day programs. He was previously an elemen-tary school principal, teacher and guidance counselor.

McGoodwin is current-ly the superintendent of the Marshfield public schools, a position he has held since 2005. He was previously the assistant superintendent in that town, and has been a middle school principal in Whitman. He also worked in Whitman as a math and science teacher.

Tantillo has been super-intendent of schools for the Pascack Valley Regional High

School District in Montvale, New Jersey for ten years, earn-ing superintendent of the year honors for that state in 2006. He has previously been a high school principal at two other schools in New Jersey.

Over the next two weeks, the candidates will be visiting Duxbury, touring the schools and visiting with staff mem-bers, parents and members of the community.

The School Committee will publicly interview the can-didates on the following dates: McGoodwin on Tuesday, May 11; Tantillo on Wednesday, May 12 and Hayden on Thurs-day, May 13. Interviews will be conducted in Room 104 at Alden (where the School Committee meetings are typi-cally held) and will be open to the public. All of the can-didates will be interviewed at 7 p.m. in the School Commit-tee meeting room at the Alden School. The committee said in a statement released after the May 5 meeting that they in-tend to make the decision by May 26.

Save the date: Island Creek Oysterfest set for Sept. 11

The afternoon-long, sustainable event is housed underneath two tents on Duxbury Beach. The main tent will feature roughly 30,000 donated oysters shucked by Island Creek growers as well as dozens of volunteer shuckers from all over the East Coast. Over 20 of Boston’s most notable chefs will be plating small bites of dishes made with locally sourced ingredients like Island Creek raised pigs and more. Guests will be able to enjoy locally brewed Harpoon Brewery drafts and a variety of wine profiles that will pair perfectly with what the chefs are serving. In ad-dition, two lively local bands will keep the day rocking along featuring headlining band, Joe Bachman and the Crew and DJ Ryan Brown.

This year, the family friendly Kids’ Zone will feature an in-teractive Tide Pool by the New England Aquarium where kids can get up close and personal with oysters and other sea crea-tures. The Jones River Landing Foundation will be on hand with their boat full of live fish where participants can try to hook on a line in a fishing tournament – just for the under 12 set! There will also be recycling tips for the festival so children can help their parents stay green, a beach scavenger hunt, sand art and other arts and crafts activities.

Tickets are $50 for general admission (children under age 12 are free), which includes admission into the event, live music and unlimited portions of the chefs’ dishes as well. Additionally, beer / wine and oysters can be purchased for $5 at the event where one $5 ticket can be redeemed for one beer, a glass of wine or six oysters.

to documents signed by land-owners in the area in the 1950s that restricted many types of buildings, but specifically al-lowed for piers.

“These people said we’ve gotten rid of all the derelict shipyards, we want this to be pristine, but they allowed for piers,” Driscoll said.

Driscoll also took issue with denying property owners the right to build a pier based on the fear it might ruin the view.

“The problem I have al-ways had in coming to grip with aesthetics is the classic statement that beauty is in the eye of the beholder,” he said.

Brogna also pointed out that there are already 16 piers, both publicly and privately owned, in Duxbury. Howev-er, that argument did little to sway the minds of commis-sion members.

“I think it will negatively impact the aesthetics,” said Thomas Gill. “I think there are too many piers in Duxbury Bay anyway.”

Part of the commission’s issue with the pier is that, to accommodate the 200 foot maximum length allowed by Duxbury’s bylaw, the pier would jut out at an odd angle and end in a narrow waterway called a guzzle.

In addition to this and the public view language in the by-law, the commission (and the Harbormaster and state Divi-sion of Marine Fisheries, who sent letters to the board) was also concerned about shellfish in the area, propeller damage from motorized boards and the float on the end of the pier resting on the mud flats.

Most of the audience mem-bers spoke against the pier, cit-ing the view and the fragility of the marsh.

“It is the quintessential part of Duxbury,” said Sarah Whipple, daughter of one of the abutters.

Others said the Duxbury Rural and Historical Society,

which used to own the prop-erty, would not have wanted the pier.

“My grandparents gave the property to the Historical society to prevent this whole thing. This is crazy!” said Margie Bishop.

However, the McLaugh-lins did have a few defenders.

David Lowry of Standish Street said that old photo-graphs of the property showed the remains of a pier, and that the ancestors of the current abutters had to deal with a pier obstructing their view.

“If the environmental is-sues can be handled ... and give the applicant access, I think that’s fair,” he said.

Jeffrey Corcoran of Sur-plus Street said that dur-ing other renovations, the McLaughlins took care to pre-serve the historic quality of the building, and pointed out that if they’d installed a privacy fence on their property, the is-sue of a public vantage point would be moot.

“I’d just like you to look at the big picture,” he said.

Driscoll asked that the hearing be continued for two weeks to allow his team more time to respond to the board’s concerns, but commission members said their views were unlikely to change in that time.

He said that his clients rights were being overshad-owed by the abutters’ “emo-tional reactions.”

“What everybody ig-nores in situations like this are property rights,” he said. “All they’re trying to do is what others have done before them.”

Conservation Commission Chairman Joseph Messina made a motion to grant the or-der of conditions for the pier, which received no support. He then made a second motion to deny the application, which was unanimously approved.

Just a short half hour drive from the South Shore lays Sandwich, a mellow but satisfying destination for food lovers. This bucolic Cape town is just a

short hop across the Sagamore Bridge and offers something for everyone. Sandwich is best known for the Sandwich Glass Museum, the Heritage Museum, Cape Cod Canal, the Thornton Burgess Museum and the Boardwalk. When visiting Sandwich, save room in your day for these delicious destinations.

The Brown Jug located at 155 Main St. in Sandwich Center is a European style gourmet market with all of the

tasty cheeses, pâtés, wines and sandwiches without any intimidating snobbery. Fill a cooler full of delectable cheeses and epicurean delights to take home, sip a sangria and enjoy a salad on the outdoor patio or grab a gourmet sandwich to eat

on the beach later. The Brown Jug is at its best from mid-May through late September, though it is open year round.

The Dunbar Tea Shop, set in the scenic center at 1 Water Street, is a sweet treat any time of the year. The Dunbar boasts a cozy blazing fireplace in the winter and a breezy covered patio for the warmer months. Regardless of the season, this welcoming spot is an ideal respite after a pleasant boardwalk stroll or a tour of the Sandwich Glass Museum. Tiered trays of delicate tea sandwiches and irresistible desserts are served along with a selection of teas, wines and ports; a small seasonal menu of soups and other homey favorites round out the menu.

Not far from the canal bike trail is a yummy spot for breakfast or lunch. Chew Café, a Sandwich Sandwichery is a haven of organic coffees and wholesome foods. Their sandwich selection is mouthwatering, breakfast is tantalizing and the emphasis on quality ingredients makes this a not-to-miss spot.

If checking in and checking out is more to your liking, visit The Dan’l Webster Inn where you can get your spa on and visit their award winning restaurant. The Belfry Inn and Bistro is a series of lovely buildings just off Sandwich Center where you can dine casually in the whimsical Painted Lady Café or enjoy a more leisurely evening in the elegant Bistro restaurant located in a converted church. Fifteen beautifully appointed rooms beckon the satiated diner.

Hemisphere at 98 Town Neck Rd. fronts the Cape Cod Canal and offers beachside dining and drinking in an unpretentious setting directly on the water. Kick off your shoes and build an appetite and a sandcastle before flip-flopping to the deck for classic New England fare.

Tidbit: Pick up a copy of Sound Bites, a cookbook full of Musical Festival Favorite Recipes for $20 with the proceeds to benefit the South Shore Conservatory’s Scholarship fund.

Leo Alexander Hieblinger, age 44, of Duxbury, died on May 4 in Plymouth. Born in Brookline, he was the son of Gloryia (Conroy) Marie and the late Leo B. Hieblinger. He graduated from Duxbury High School and then went on to Northeast Broadcasting School, class of 1983. He vol-unteered as a sound man for a talent show fundraiser that benefited middle school chil-dren in Old Orchard Beach,

Maine. He was a fan of NA-SCAR, loved cooking and en-joyed listening to Aerosmith. Mr. Hieblinger was employed as a computer technician for Children’s Hospital in Boston.

He leaves his mother, Glo-ryia Marie; his step-mother Sophia Hieblinger; his sister Jane Patton and his nephew Colin, of Old Orchard Beach, Maine; and his niece Katherine Kerbow of San Antonio,Texas. The funeral took place at the

Cartmell Funeral Home. He was buried in the Mayflower Cemetery in Duxbury. Dona-tions in his memory may be made to the Loranger Middle School Band and may be sent to Cartmell Funeral Home 150 Court St., Plymouth, MA 02360.

Elizabeth (Liz) Barker Vinal, long-time resident of Duxbury, died on April 19 at the age of 87. She was mar-ried to the late Albert Vinal Jr. and was the mother of the late Brent Vinal Smith. She leaves her daughters, Peggy and her husband, Bob Mosher, of Hingham and Vicki and her husband, Tom McGrath, of Methuen; six grandchildren, and four great-grandchildren.

Mrs. Vinal was born in Springfield, Ill., but lived in many places before settling in Duxbury in the 1950s. This included living in many Span-ish-speaking countries, where she began her life-long pas-sion for the Spanish language.

She graduated from Wellesley College in 1944 majoring in Spanish. She used her Span-ish skills to teach and tutor, and always included Span-ish-speaking countries in her itinerary when she traveled. Mrs. Vinal capitalized on the childcare classes she took at Wellesley College when she opened Captain’s Hill Nursery School in her home in 1962 where she was teacher/direc-tor for 15 years. After retir-ing from teaching, she turned her interest in antiques and collectibles into a new career and became well known on the South Shore for her expertise in sought after collectibles.

Mrs. Vinal loved to dance,

especially tap dancing, mod-ern dance, square dancing and ballroom dancing. At Welles-ley College she was a member of the Dance Club. In Dux-bury she was a member of Bay Players and took part in the Legion shows. She participat-ed in and taught line dancing for the Duxbury Senior Center and with her fellow residents at the Village of Duxbury.

A memorial service for Mrs. Vinal will be held in the Meeting Room at the Village at Duxbury on Saturday, May 15 at 11 a.m. Donations in her name can be made to Cranber-ry Hospice, 36 Cordage Park Circle, Suite 326, Plymouth, MA 02360.

High Street Methodist bake sale May 15

High Street United Meth-odist Church will hold their spring plant and bake sale on Saturday, May 15 from 9 a.m.-12 p.m. The sale will include a variety of annuals and peren-nials. Come early for the best selection. Bake sale will have delicious desserts, cookies and delectable treats. The church is located at 298 High Street on the Duxbury/Pembroke border.

Annual plant sale on tapThe Community Garden Club of Duxbury, a member of

the Garden Club Federation of Massachusetts, is hosting its Annual Plant Sale Saturday, May 22 from 9 a.m. to 12 noon on the front lawn of The First Parish Church on Tremont Street. A variety of locally grown perennials, annuals, trees, and bushes will be offered for purchas (e.g., peonies, daylilies, hostas, heliopsis, coneflowers and grasses). Since these plants are grown in Duxbury soil, they have better survival rates than plants purchased at a large commercial chain. Also, while you are browsing the offerings, engage the experienced garden club members in discussions about enhancing your own gar-dens. The proceeds of this sale are used for many town beau-tification projects such as the Harbormaster office and the St. George flag pole site. More than ten sites in town are planted and maintained by members of the CGCD.

COMPETING INTERESTS Chiropractors have long extolled the benefits of chiropractic treat-ment for younger patients, particu-larly athletes. Now, a recent study shows that chiropractic treatment for teenagers who play competitive sports may be more appropriate than some had thought. Accord-ing to the study of nearly 5,000 col-lege students, those who had been involved in sports since elementary school were more likely to suffer from low back pain than their less-competitive peers. In fact, 72% of the competitive sports players suf-fered back pain compared with 62% of those with less competitive sports experience. This study shows that youth alone does not provide immunity from back pain, whether or not youngsters play sports. Chiro-practic is suitable for patients of all ages and activity levels. Ask your Doctor of Chiropractic

for more information about a spine curvature evaluation and treatment program. We are the health care leaders in providing safe, fast and effective relief for most spinal prob-lems. Please call (781) 934-0943 for an appointment or for more infor-mation. LALONDE CHIROPRACTIC SPINE CENTER OF NEW ENGLAND is located at 42 Tremont St., Suite 10B (Rt 3A at Rt 3). Our clinic stresses maintenance and prevention as well as treatment. Find relief from chronic pain, sports injuries, or stress, and improve your overall health with Cox® Technic that works with the body’s natural design to aid it in healing. P.S. According to the study men-tioned above, volleyball players had the highest risk of lower back pain, with about 80% of the young athletes reporting problems.

A CLOSER LOOK—CLOSER TO HOME.

The Duxbury Interfaith Council’s Annual Fund Rais-ing drive for its Campership and TLC Backpack Projects is now underway. $25,000 is needed to send approxi-mately 40 children to sum-mer camp and also provide backpacks and school sup-plies for approximately 50 children. Your donations are needed to help us reach our goal. Additionally, Weimey-er dentistry is our first cor-porate Sponsor donating $15 for each cleaning during the month of May. They hope to raise $5,000 for our cause.

One recipient of the Council’s outreach recently wrote; “I just wanted to take a moment to thank all of you for the help you have given me and my children over the past few years. I am a single

Mom struggling to support my family and keep them in this great town. Living in Duxbury means every-thing to me and my children. Duxbury is our home. The generosity and kind heart-edness of the people in this town always amazes me and is something that I am very grateful for, and will never take for granted.”

If you attended a summer camp as a child, we invite you to recall how valuable and enriching an experience camp can be.

Donations can be sent to the Council at PO Box 1161, 02331. For more informa-tion, contact us at [email protected] or call 781-934-8388. To schedule a cleaning at Weimeyer Den-tistry, call 781-934-5292.

Composting demonstration

Sustainable Duxbury invites residents to a home composting exhibit at the town transfer and recycling Station on Saturday, May 15 from 9 a.m.-11:30 a.m. This demonstration will focus on several simple methods of converting “throwaways” to “brown gold” compost.

Why compost? Com-post makes excellent soil for growing vegetables, flowers, or lawns. It also reduces the amount of “blue bag” garbage produced, saving the town and the homeowner money, and it reduces the amount of waste sent to the regional in-cinerator SEAMASS, saving the enviroment.

While the town makes available good compost at no cost to residents (see the ar-ticle in the April 21 Duxbury Clipper), some homeowners might find it more conve-nient to have a readily avail-able supply at home.

Sustainable Duxbury members will be available outside the “library” trailer to show several types of compost models, to talk with interested people, and to dis-tribute a handout containing some helpful composting information. For questions, call Anne Baird at 781-452-7016.

nine amazing students.”

Duxbury Idol is a fund-raiser for the Duxbury Music Promoters, but it has become an annual spectacle in town, as evidenced by the sold-out crowd of screaming, sign-holding fans on Saturday. The roles of Simon, Ellen and Randy were played by local musician Meri-Lee Mafera, WATD host Liz Raven and DHS teacher John Fernandes. The Idol hopefuls were Em-ily Merlin, Emmanuel Catan-zariti, Gillian Desmarais, Ike Fontaine, Kate Cameron, Ker-ri MacLennan, Kerry Turok, Tori Clough and Jessica Wil-liams. Through three rounds of performances, the students wowed the judges and crowd with their versatility and tal-ent.

Fernandez, who was a last minute addition to the panel, was impressed by the quality of the performers.

“I came here to hear good music, and that’s what I’m hearing,” he told one contes-tant.

After the first round, audi-ence members selected their six favorite performers, who all then sang another song.

After what one judge called an “extremely painful deci-sion,” the panelists narrowed the field to three –– Fontaine,

Clough and Williams. The au-dience weighed in again, and selected Ike Fontaine as the 2010 Duxbury Idol. Fontaine capped off the evening with a performance of John Mayer’s

“Love Song for No One.”As the Idol, Fontaine will

get a chance to go into the re-cording studio, courtesy of the Musicians Development Insti-tute.

An excited Fontaine said after the show he’s been play-ing the guitar and singing since he was eight years old.

“I love how I can be cre-ative and express my feelings [through music],” he said.

Although he said he loves all styles of music, he has a soft spot for country (his fa-vorite artist is Keith Urban) and hopes to head to Nashville for college and a career in mu-sic.

“I want to be a performer,” he said.

The contestants line up with numbers after the first round, so the audience can vote for their favorites. After the first round, audience votes narrowed the field from nine to six.

Student art at the ACM

Students from six area schools – Scituate High School; Silver Lake High School; Bay Farm Montes-sori School, Duxbury; Dux-bury High School; Plymouth North High School and the Inly School; Scituate, will show their outdoor installa-tions on the grounds of The Art Complex Museum in the Student Outdoor Sculpture exhibit, S.O.S., from May 16 until June 6.

After viewing slides on public art, students develop and present their propos-als, choose a specific site, and create their work. Of-ten their ideas and materials are as varied as the students themselves. By becoming involved, students learn how a museum works.

An opening reception is scheduled for May 16 from 1:30-3:30 p.m. during which students will conduct a walking tour and discuss their work. Another recep-tion, that day, will be for In Pursuit of the Picturesque, American paintings of New England and New York from The Art Complex Museum collection and Dutch Prints, also from the collection which include Rembrandt’s Self Portrait in Cap. The programs are free and sup-ported by the Carl A. Wey-erhaeuser Family Charitable Trusts, by gifts from friends of the museum and the Dux-bury Cultural Council.

Happy Birthday, Duxbury Clipper! Here are some highlights from The Duxbury Clip-per, Volume 1, Number 1, May 11, 1950:

• Over 250 delegates attended the Spring Conference of the Plymouth and Bay Conference of Unitarian Churches, held at the First Parish Church.

• More than 300 Duxbury residents crowded the Statehouse to oppose a proposed bill that would make Duxbury a public resort area.

• The census showed that Duxbury’s population was nearing 3,000.• Phone numbers varied from one to five digits long.• Why did the Cutlers call the paper “The Duxbury Clipper?” From the editorial page,

“No reason, really, except that it is nice to remember that Duxbury Town was the ship-building center of America around 1840, and it was at that time that American builders developed the clipper.”

• Some prices advertised at the time: an issue of the Duxbury Clipper, $.10, a case of Schlitz beer, $3.95, a can of apricots, $.35, and sterling silver salt and pepper shakers, $7.50.

• Some of today’s businesses in town that have been here since before the first issue: Westwind’s Bookshop, Bennett’s Store, Millbrook Market, The Studio, and The Winsor House.

Blue in the face about bags

The recent discussion about blue trash bags has highlighted a prickly subject among residents, and has exposed an underlying contradiction about this

town’s attitude towards local business.Several weeks ago, the Board of Selectmen voted to restrict

the sale of town trash bags, used in Duxbury’s Pay-As-You-Throw program, at in-town stores only.

Yet residents, especially those who don’t live within a stone’s throw of Hall’s Corner, revolted, saying the rule wasn’t fair to people living on the outskirts of town. On Monday, the board (at the urging of new selectman Shawn Dahlen) bowed to the public pressure and opened up the sale of the bags to out of town stores.

The move was certainly a well-intentioned one, but we’re sad to see it reversed. Duxbury has a small but unique business community, and it needs all the help and support it can get. And Selectman Betsy Sullivan, the initial vote’s strongest proponent, made a good point that all residents have to drive to the dump on a regular basis, taking them by at least one of the establishments that sell the bags. (We would also like to see the town take another look at selling the bags at the transfer station.)

In other situations, Duxbury residents have been good about supporting their local businesses – see the throngs that mill through Hall’s Corner on Holly Days. We howled our laments when there was no place to buy groceries within Duxbury’s borders, and pontificate about “the big box stores” driving mom-and-pop out of business. Yet asking folks to drive a bit longer for the blue bags every month or so became an unbearable burden.

The decision puts the selectmen in a tough spot. They do have an obligation to the business community (many business owners are residents, after all) and they know how frustrated many local businessmen and women are with the town. Yet they ultimately answer to the voters, and the majority wanted to get the bags where they normally shop.

It’s an odd situation. Residents would stand with pitchforks and torches to block a Home Depot or Wal-Mart from coming to Duxbury. Yet not only are they more than happy to patronize such establishments in Kingston, Marshfield or Pembroke, they’ll demand that our municipality sell our trash bags where they shop. That seems ideologically inconsistent at best, and at worst, blatantly hypocritical.

In the end, this is about what Duxbury residents want, and they spoke loud and clear: convenience is king. Just don’t be surprised when it becomes more “convenient” for local businesses to move to a town where they get more support.

–– J. Graeber

In an era when many newspapers are dying, it is especially grati-

fying to know the Clipper at 60 is thriving and remains committed not just to the lo-cal angle, but the local story. Congratulations! It is with this focus in mind, then, that I urge you to revisit your policy on high school graduation cover-age. Until recently, the Clip-per printed the name, picture and future choice of each high school graduate, and my fam-ily pored over the information every year. This began when my children were in elemen-tary school and continued until the practice stopped – and they are all now in their 20s! Like the Duxbury custom of lining up to watch high schoolers en-

ter the prom, even the young-est are curious about the older kids. Maybe it’s because all the schools are connected, and the fates and futures of each gradu-ate are part of a continuum that reaches all the way to the lower grades. But from bus routes to honor rolls, from first day of kindergarten to Commence-ment on the lawn, the Clipper records the details of daily life that weave into personal history. And so, from The Clipper my young children learned the pa-per boy would go to Bowdoin. The tall girl in church would go to Smith and her best friend to Stonehill. Or they would stare at the faces this way: this boy, this girl is going to go to Har-vard. This one is going to the Maritime Academy. Here’s

one who’s going to Califor-nia! When we put the names, faces and choices together, it was like linking a subject and verb into a story, a story unique to that individual, right there, right then in Duxbury. In a pure sense, this is exactly what a lo-cal newspaper is meant to do. Please return to this practice for the Class of 2010.

Jane BradleyMarshall Street

[Editor’s note: We agree with Ms. Bradley 100 percent that the names should be print-ed. Unfortunately, it’s not our call –– the school district will not release the names to us. All complaints should be directed to the school department.]

The Duxbury Music Promoters want to thank everyone who

made this past Saturday’s Dux-bury Idol such a huge success. First, we want to thank our singers –– nine talents who de-livered an evening of fabulous performances. So many people talk about dreams, but the in-spirational students who try out for Duxbury Idol every year al-ready have the kind of courage and determination it takes to live their dreams. We also want to thank our judges, our MC Nick Lyons, faculty Jim Dono-van and Joe Pondaco, who take the lead on making this event possible, our volunteers –– nearly 80, including National Honor Society students who gave more than required, our supportive businesses, and the

many others who helped the evening come together. Dux-bury enjoys a truly outstand-ing music program, with some 700 students in fifth through twelfth grades involved in cho-ruses, bands and string perfor-mance groups, and the truth is, it wouldn’t happen without

community support. So DMP’s final, biggest thank you goes to everyone who came Saturday to see Duxbury Idol and to sup-port all the amazing musicians who benefit from this program!

On behalf of the Duxbury High School Sailing

Team, I would publicly like to thank Duxbury Bay Maritime School for letting us use their facility for our fundraising yard sale last weekend. With-out DBMS and their willing-ness to accommodate both the high school sailing and crew

teams, these sports would not be a part of our high school program. I am also reaching out to our community and be-yond and asking everyone to support DBMS and the Open-ing of the Bay on May 28 and May 29. It is a great event and DBMS deserves our support.

he was a “write-in” vote.

“I’m very, very proud of her,” he said.

The Guilfoiles volunteer their time with a host of orga-nizations around town, includ-ing Duxbury Youth Baseball (Tom Guilfoile is currently leading the charge to rebuild Chandler Field), the Appala-chian Service Project, Buddy Ball (which Tom founded), the Newcomers’ Club and the Duxbury High School sports boosters. The were nominated by Joanne Savard, who was an honored guest in her own right on Wednesday.

The reception was hosted by the Village at Duxbury and Welch Healthcare, which pro-vided the dinner, the hall as well as gift baskets for all the nominees.

State representatives Dan Webster and Tom Calter were

also on hand to read an official commendation from the House of Representatives thanking all the volunteers.

Webster said it was his eighth year attending the ban-quet.

“I am always inspired,” he said. “The spirit in Duxbury is second to none.”

“Volunteerism is the high-est form of humanity,” added Calter. “We’re privileged to be here and we’re proud to be part of this community.”

The evening was hosted by emcee Jim Fagan, a for-mer nominee himself. Fa-gan cracked jokes (mostly at the legislators’ expense) but also turned serious when it came time to acknowledging the work of the people in the room.

“I hope you’re all as proud to live in this community as I am,” he said.

Volunteers honored at the Village at Duxburycontinued from page one

The 29 nominees for volunteer of the year take a final bow after Wednesday’s event. The field was the largest group of nominees in the event’s history.

Mary McLean, Helen Ennis, Catherine Holmes and Ruth Ann Hickey give of their time at the Duxbury Senior Center.

Barbara Kiley and Paula Harris are involved with historical issues as well as dozens of other groups around town. Kiley was on the com-mittee that led the charge to preserve Tarkiln, and Harris served on the Police Chief Search Committee.

The Village’s Joanna Dow, Maureen Crowley, Executive Director Carey Alexander, emcee Jim Fagan and Ninky Savage helped make the evening a fun event.

Jamie MacNab, Terri Woodward and Laura Smith were all recognized for their work with the Duxbury Student Union.

Mary “Pixie” Lampert was honored for her work with the Pilgrim Watch nuclear watchdog group.

Gordon MacIver, who gives back by helping orga-nize the non-fiction section of the library, receives a gift bag from The Village's Ninky Savage.

I joke sometimes about the “frontiers” that demark Duxbury from its neighboring

towns. It’s an old New England tradition to think of nearby towns as being populated with outsiders. Not at Fair time. I suppose it’s a holdover from the ancient European roots that some of us share. Olden-day fairs were annual events in which trade, families, produce and livestock gathered from far and wide, with plenty of games and

silliness thrown in for good measure. Fairs blur our usual lines, and sharpen others that are nearly forgotten.

This year’s Marshfield Fair runs August 20 – 29, and the Exhibitor’s Handbook is already published on-line

(marshfieldfair.org). But don’t think of the Marshfield Fair as something “over there,” or even as a fun destination, but only for a visit. Duxbury exhibitors lace every category of the Fair, from the Jams and Jellies to the 4-H Cow Barn. They’ve always been there, but I think the tide is still in flood – there are more now than ever.

It was a beautiful night for baseball last Friday, and Tom Guilfoile and the volunteers of Duxbury Youth Baseball made it all the more entertain-ing, as several hundred fans showed up at the new Murphy Field (formerly Chandler) to watch the Dragons win their fifth straight game and hon-or baseball coaching legend Dave Murphy on DYB Family Night.

The night included every-one from youth players to high school players, along with members of Murphy’s family and those that he coached dur-ing his 34 years of coaching at the high school and Legion level.

Youth players joined the varsity on the field in the pre-game warm-ups, and they greeted the Dragons with high-fives as they came onto the field. Master of ceremo-nies Frank Tenaglia introduced Murphy’s family at home plate, where they joined in the ceremony renaming Chandler

Field into Murphy Field.Short remembrances by

Murphy’s son Neil and former Boston Bruin announcer Dave Shea (a DHS baseball grad) preceded the national anthem sung by DHS senior and the team’s official scorer Jess Wil-liams.

The Dragons have been on fire at the plate, and they con-tinued to light it up on Friday against Pembroke, erupting in two big innings for an 11-2 win over the Titans.

Senior Steve Blout took to the mound on Friday night and gave up a single run in the second inning before his team-mates gave him all the run

support he would need with five runs in the bottom half of the second.

Brother Jeff Blout got the inning started with a blast over the left field fence to tie the score, and junior Pat Sweeney would single to continue the rally.

With two down and a run-ner on first, junior catcher Joe Coyne stepped to the plate and laced an RBI double to drive home Sweeney and put the Dragons ahead 2-1.

Three consecutive errors by the Titan infield led to three more Duxbury runs, and when the inning was over the Drag-ons had a comfortable 5-1

lead.Pembroke got to Blout in

the fifth for their second run on three consecutive singles, but he kept them in check to get out of the inning without further damage.

In the sixth inning, senior Tommy Drummy led off with a single after having made the defensive catch of the year earlier in the game, running to his left and extending horizon-tally to rob the batter of extra bases.

Errors continued to plague Pembroke, as they committed two more, setting the stage for Coyne to knock in two more

Dragons honor Murphy with fifth straight win

built in 1918, this spectacular property was conceived as a Mediterranean villa with open piazzas at either end, which were enclosed by the 1930s. In 2007 the homeowners embarked on the first comprehensive reno-vation of the house since its con-struction, retaining the original floor plan while adding a modern kitchen/great room finished with antique timbers and a widows walk roof deck to enhance ocean views.


traditional country arts and crafts, Duxbury souls find ample opportunity to join in the Fair. Here are the tips I usually share to readers who might be new to the process:

Double-check the dates. Many of the categories require registration the day before the Fair opens, and a few are considerably before opening day. The Exhibitor’s Handbook lists all the information, but you have to be sure to read carefully, especially if you plan to show a variety of items.

On the other hand, a few fun categories have registration on later dates. Horticulture, for example, keeps flowers fresh and varied by staggering some of the entry dates. Even if you’re only viewing, be sure to come back another day. The view will change. Do you have flowers to share, but feel too shy to compete? Check in anyway. There may be a need for color around the Hall, and Horticulture Director Roni Lehage can’t grow everything herself.

Don’t make up your own rules. Of course, follow the real ones, but don’t add your own. Want to make and can your own jams or jellies? Great! It doesn’t mean you have to grow it all yourself. Who around here has their own orange trees? But you can make your own marmalade and enter. When the rules say “this year’s production,” they mean this year’s canning. You can buy the fruit wherever. You only have to can it yourself. Mind the real rules: no wax seals like Nana used to do, and no decorated jars. But you don’t have to worry about poisoning anybody – no jars will be opened. (Exploding jars are, I believe, disqualified.) So get out there, buy some cherries or raspberries, follow the directions on the Certo label, and have go. Canned Goods registration is under the Grandstand this year and on Thursday, Aug. 19, 2-7 p.m., since the category has been moved from Country Arts to Agriculture.

Try something new, or even something old. I expect to show eggs again this year, after a year or two off. I’ve got a hen who’s a laying machine, and her eggs are the most consistent I’ve ever seen. Now, competition eggs do have to come from your own hens, and egg people can tell a store-bought ringer from a mile away. They look for consistent size, shape, and color in a dozen eggs, but they don’t crack them open. (Exploding eggs are, I’m sure, disqualified.)

I won’t try to rush my wild cherry jelly this year. They just don’t ripen early enough, but I might put up some marmalade. It’s easier than you think, as long as you buy oranges with pips. (Marmalade people call seeds “pips.”) I haven’t tried that yet, and if I lose, so what? I’ll still have the marmalade, and once again, the Fair will be mine, not something over yonder, across the Marshfield Frontier.

Blue Line Club golf tournament

runs for a 7-2 lead. The final blow of the inning would come off the bat of Jeff Blout, who cleared the bases with a double for the final runs of the game.

Senior Pat McWilliams came on in relief in the bot-tom of the seventh inning and struckout the side to run the Dragons’ record to 9-2.

Earlier in the week the Duxbury offense continued to hammer opponents when it slapped Quincy around to the tune of 12-6 at Adams Field. That was in sharp contrast to last Monday’s away game with Middleboro in which the Drag-ons edged the Sachems, 2-1.

Jeff Blout put on a show

on the mound, limiting the hosts to five hits, while strik-ing out six.

Senior third baseman Con-nor Inglis drove in Duxbury’s first run with a sacrifice fly in the fifth inning, but senior cap-tain Matt Savard provided all the fireworks when he stepped to the plate in the top of the seventh inning and drilled the ball over the fence for the game-winning hit.

Duxbury entertained Sil-ver Lake on Monday after-noon with first place in the Patriot League on the line, and on Wednesday afternoon they will travel to Scituate to take on the Sailors at 4 p.m.


Baseball wins


After an unusual loss (3-2) to Middleboro to start the week, the girls’ tennis team rallied with back-to-back wins over Quincy (3-2) and Pem-broke (5-0) to run its record to 7-3 with two more wins need-ed to make post-season play.

Michaela Dowd had a strong win at No. 1 singles, wasting little time in beating Quincy’s Stephanie Annessi, 6-1/6-1, while a pair of wins at doubles provided Duxbury with the victory.

Julia Allen and Erin Nel-son had no problems with Lyna Pham and Maris Pepo, beating the Presidents’ No. 1 doubles pair, 6-2/6-1. Nicole Hanrahan and Lilly Weil at No. 2 doubles did equally as well, taking care of Stephanie La and Julie Tran, 6-1/6-1.

Duxbury had its problems in singles where Corey Tucker dropped a 4-6/3-6 decision to Quincy’s No. 2 player, Dora Pepo, and Casey Reinhart took it on the chin against Sandy Xie, 1-6/5-7.

“It was a beautiful day for tennis, and our doubles teams, along with Michaela, had quick and efficient wins,” said Coach Jutta Rossano. “Our singles players had harder matches, but both of them played well and made the matches close.”

In Friday’s win over Pem-broke, singles had their chance to shine, as they finished quick-ly and watched the doubles play in extended matches.

Dowd wiped out Sarah Winn, 6-0/6-0, Tucker took

care of Erin Scroggins, 6-2/6-1, and Reinhart had an easy time in her win over Maggie Har-rington, 6-0/6-1.

Allen and Nelson had a tough time in the first set be-fore defeating Laura McCo-narty and Elise Famiglietti, 6-4, 6-1, while Hanrahan and Kozmiski won a tie-breaker 6-6 (TB7/5) in the first set of their match before knocking off Kim Higgins and Gina Pet-rie 6-3 in the second set for the victory.

”It was a stressful day for both teams, as several girls took AP exams,” said Rossa-no. “Our singles took the lead quickly and closed even faster. Doubles had closer matches, but kept a steady lead to win.”

The girls have three Patri-ot League matches this week and one on Monday, so tak-ing home two wins would be a major stepping stone toward getting into postseason play, as the final four games are with Scituate, Hingham, Marsh-field, and Notre Dame, all four of who could be trouble for the Lady Dragons.

Dragons’ DenSports Editor Mike Halloran • [email protected]


Close to 100 family mem-bers, friends, and boosters showed up to honor the illus-trious achievements of 10 for-mer Dragon stars who were in-ducted into the Duxbury High School Hall of Fame. Little did they know, however, they would also get a hilarious com-edy show as part of the eve-ning.

It was a night that includ-ed listening to the tape of Bill Wilhelm describing the great-est athletic event in the his-tory of DHS, and also a night when Coach Reggie Clark es-tablished himself as a stand-up comic with stories that had the audience in stitches.

The evening started with an introduction by Massachusetts AD of The Year, Thom Hold-gate, who welcomed the crowd and turned the evening over to MC Bill Wilhelm of WATD.

After an excellent dinner provided by the staff at the Plymouth Country Club, Wil-helm got the festivities started by introducing Mickey Curley (DHS ’94), one of the stars of Wilhelm’s award-winning tape made during Duxbury’s his-toric come-from-behind win over Lincoln-Sudbury High School in the old Boston Gar-den in 1994 that catapulted the Dragons to the Division II state crown.

Curley was followed to the podium by Eric Arnold (’78), a former Massachusetts state and

New England wrestling cham-pion, as well as a former state discus champion, who still holds the DHS shot put record at 57’11”.

The Bolster brothers, Andy (’77) and Kent (’78), were next and seemed thrilled to be back in town following their trips up from Virginia and Pennsylva-nia. They could have spoken for an hour about their accom-plishments on the track and in life after college as Green Be-rets, but instead concentrated on thanking their coaches for developing them into state champions in the discus.

The first DHS football player was inducted into the school’s Hall of Fame, as Da-vid Seger (DHS ’99), who held the school’s rushing record and led the Dragons to their first Super Bowl appearance in 1998, thanked former Coach Don Dellorco and Assistant Coach John Taglieri for all their efforts in developing him as a player.

Matt Cushing (DHS ’84) was one of two Parade Maga-zine All-Americans who was inducted Saturday night, as he scrapped his acceptance speech notes on the advice of his Wheaton College players and winged it. Praising his team-mates and Duxbury neighbors for his emergence as a soccer star under Coach Foster Cass, the current college coach was on three Eastern Mass. cham-pionships teams and had a 65-1 record during his Duxbury ca-

reer.The lovely Jill Maxwell

(’95), another Parade All-American and captain of the University of Virginia women’s soccer team, battled knee inju-ries during her UVA career but still managed to be named the Offensive MVP and Unsung Hero for the Cavaliers. This came after a career at DHS where she was the all-time ca-reer point leader and a member of the 1994 state champion soccer team that won the title on the same afternoon as the boys at Worcester Polytech.

Jane Fleming, standing in for her daughter Tory Fleming, who is considered the school’s greatest female swimmer, ac-cepted her plaque and empha-sized how much her daughter enjoyed the camaraderie of high school swimming and the fun she had doing it outside of USA swimming.

Former tennis Coach Faith Henaghan accepted the award for her former player and cur-rent Duxbury resident Linda Hartz (’80).

With nine of the 10 recipi-ents back in their seats, they

weren’t in them for long once Coach Reggie Clark took the podium. The former basketball coach, who is now a minister in Maine, and who took the Drag-ons to the Division II state title in 1989 with Billy Curley on board, fiddled with his papers as he prepared to speak to the audience.

Once he got rolling with stories of his part in DHS lore, the audience was howling, pro-viding a fitting way to cap an evening that provided for so many memories for the greats of DHS athletics.

The Lady Dragons took the field early last week in what was expected to be a low scoring pitchers’ duel between Laura Walter of Duxbury and Amber White of undefeated Middleboro (9-0).

For those that like great softball pitching, they weren’t disappointed, as both pitchers shut down the opposing team. It was scoreless after seven in-nings with Walter giving up only two hits while striking out eight. Unfortunately, Dux-bury could muster only two

hits while Walter kept the Sa-chems at bay.

The floodgates opened in the top of the eight, as Middle-boro scored four runs, while Duxbury couldn’t mount a ral-ly against White and suffered its fourth loss of the season.

Two days later Quincy brought its 9-1 record to Dux-bury in what would be another pitcher’s showdown.

Walter completely shut down Quincy with 10 strike-outs and only two hits allowed through seven innings, but once again the Duxbury bats were silent sending the game into extra innings.

Quincy scratched out two hits in the top of the eighth for what proved to be the only run in the 1-0 loss.

After Duxbury’s offense starved on what was supposed to be home cooking, the Lady Dragons hit the road on Friday and broke their two-game los-ing streak with a 6-3 Patriot League win over Pembroke.

In a complete reversal of form, Duxbury lashed out 16 hits in beating the Titans.

Senior first baseman Kerry Turok drove in Duxbury’s first two runs with a hard single in the fourth, and the team added three more runs in the fifth on five hits, including an Alex Leaverton triple and a Chris-tina Curley home run.

Leaverton, Caroline Mc-Sherry, Lindsey Cobb and Tur-ok had two hits each on the day, while Curley and Walter banged out three apiece. Wal-ter was the winning pitcher and had 13 strikeouts, raising her season total to 115 in 80 innings.

Duxbury will host Scituate on Wednesday afternoon start-ing at 4 p.m.

The DHS sailing team out-lasted Saturday’s horrendous weather on Duxbury Bay to sweep Moses Brown, Man-chester Essex, and Dartmouth in two round-robins, winning the regatta, 6-0, and qualifying for the Mark Trophy, symbol-ic of the New England Team Racing Championship.

The competition will be held at MIT this weekend, with the top two finishers heading to the High School Team Rac-ing Nationals in Seattle, Wash-ington.

Duxbury’s winning team included senior skipper Julia

Leonard with junior crew Ian Grant, junior skipper Al Sahne with sophomore crew Brendan Keohan, and sophomore skip-per Ian White with senior crew Morgan Gould.

Once the weather subsided, there was a light (8-10 mph) southwest breeze and cloudy skies. After the Dragons won both round-robins the third one did not need to be sailed since it was mathematically impos-sible for Duxbury to lose after the first two were completed. Moses Brown finished second with a 3-3 record, while Man-chester Essex finished third and Dartmouth took fourth.

The girls’ golf team suf-fered its second loss of the season on Thursday after-noon when it traveled to Nauset and dropped a 4-2 de-cision to the Warriors.

The Lady Dragons had beaten their Cape foe earlier in the season on the DYC course by a comparable score.

The loss came on the heels of Duxbury’s second easy win over Dennis-Yar-mouth on Wednesday.

In that match Briana Connolly got things rolling with a 4-up win (a par) over D-Y’s Megan McKenzie at No. 1, while playing partner Kara Falcone matched her teammate’s score in her win over Kristin Winslow.

Duxbury’s No. 2 duo of Kaitlin Sullivan and Maria Varonko split their matches, with Sullivan besting Laura O’Shaughnessy 4-up and Varonko dropping her match to Becky Morris, 2-down.

Kendall Johnson in the No. 5 slot won 3-up (a par)

over Catherine Winslow, and senior Devon Tsinzo also won easily over Julia Cun-ningham, 4-up.

The alternate match found Lorin Gerraughty and Allie Martin win their match-es over Krista Rodrick and Ashley McLean by identical scores of 5-up.

The girls will be on the Cape for their final regular season match when they trav-el to Barnstable on Wednes-day afternoon to take on the Red Raiders at 3:30 p.m.

It happens every few years and sometimes causes stress on the lacrosse fields of Dux-bury: a loss.

Following their 12-7 drub-bing at the hands of St. John’s Prep; their second loss to the Eagles in a year, the Drag-ons caught a break in their schedule before taking on top-ranked Billerica last night in Duxbury.

Wins over North Quincy (17-2) and Whitman-Hanson (15-1) provided good exer-cise and practice for Duxbury as they headed for last night’s confrontation with one of the three teams that Coach Chris Sweet envisions has a possi-bility of dethroning his Drag-ons.

Last Tuesday’s win over NQ saw the Dragons jump out to a 5-0 first quarter lead be-fore extending it by halftime to 10-0.

The lead grew to 14-0

after three quarters, and the Red Raiders finally got on the board in the fourth quarter to prevent the shutout.

Will Siefert was the big gun for Duxbury with four goals, while Paul Hellar and Tim Matthews contributed two goals each.

Two days later, junior midfielder Bryan Barry scored three first half goals to contrib-ute to a 7-0 halftime lead over Whitman-Hanson.

Third period tallies by Seamus Connelly, Sam Sweet, John Ricciardi, and Nick Woodgate had the Dragons ahead 11-1 after three quar-ters.

Barry notched his fourth of the game in the final 12 minutes of running time, while Sweet scored his third of the game and Lance O’Donovan also got on the board.

Thursday afternoon at 4 p.m. the team will take on Xaverian in Westwood.
