Outlook sunny
at Holly Days
By Justin Graeber, Clipper Editor
justin@duxburyclipper.com
The sun finally decided to
shine on Holly Days. An omen
for a better holiday season for
local businesses? Perhaps, but
on Sunday people were sim-
ply happy to enjoy the day as
a community event that’s fast
becoming a cherished holiday
tradition.
Holly Days is put on by
the Duxbury Business Asso-
ciation. It’s a day of fun, free
events to remind the towns-
people of the existence of local
businesses, but it’s also a way
for those businesses to thank
the community, said DBA
President Anne Antonellis.
“We’re trying to always
give back,” she said. “It’s not

Low predictions for election

By Justin Graeber, Clipper Editor
justin@duxburyclipper.com
Duxbury’s town clerk
doesn’t have high expecta-
tions for the turnout in next
Tuesday’s United States Sen-
ate primary election.
Oates, who has had a knack
for predicting turnout over the
last couple of years, said that
she’s only had a handful of
people ask for absentee bal-
lots, which is usually a good
indicator of voter interest.
Whether its holiday distrac-
tions or something else (Oates
blamed the Swine Flu) voters
don’t seem especially invest-
ed in the election, despite the
presence of local businessman
Jack Robinson on the Repub-
lican ballot and the chance to
pick Ted Kennedy’s heir on
the Democratic ticket.
“We’re going to have the
lowest turnout in history,” said
Oates. “People do not appear
to be interested.”
After Kennedy’s death in
August, former Democratic
National Committee chair-
man Paul Kirk was appointed

to be a seat-filler in the Sen-
ate. Oates thinks it’s unfair the
state is asking cities and towns
to bear the additional costs of
a special election.
“I think it would have been
better to just leave [Kirk] in
office until the next election,”
she said. “They could have
saved some money.”
There was talk at one time
about the state picking up the
tab for the special election, al-
though Oates said she doesn’t
believe that will happen. She
said in general, it costs Dux-
bury between $9-10,000 to run
an election. However, the state
auditor has given Duxbury ex-
tra funding for three additional
polling hours, money that is
generally available to town
clerks if they ask for it.
In addition to the extra cost
of a special election, Oates
pointed out another odd thing
NOW OPEN
about the election, that surely
was an extra cost to the state.

can ballot, with the names of

A new roof, along with a new septic system, was recently installed
at the Tarkiln building.
Tarkiln’s new roof
Work on the Tarkiln Com-
munity Center restoration
project has progressed in re-
cent weeks with the installa-
tion of a new roof, the removal
of asbestos pipe wrap in the
basement and the construction
of a new septic system.
These projects are part of
the partial restoration of the
historic Twin Schoolhouses
approved by this year’s Town
Meeting. Voters supported a
$435,000 plan to make the
building usable again, which
included satisfying building
code issues and making the
structure ADA compliant with
renovated bathrooms and new
handicapped ramps.
At the end of October, lo-
cal roofing contractor JT Ca-
zeault and Sons Roofers, Inc.,
of Plymouth installed a new
roof at Tarkiln, which came
in at $22,900, well under the
initial estimate. Company
president David Cazeault is
a Duxbury resident and he
added extras to the building
that were not part of his con-
tract but were approved by
the town’s Tarkiln Committee.
Cazeault installed copper val-
leys, all new fascia boards on
the kitchen addition, new sof-
fits, and new roof and flashing
on basement stairwell cover.

Holly Days is a hit

shop locally with small dollar
amounts.”
While Black Friday is
more of a mall thing, some
local merchants do consider
Holly Days –– usually held the
Sunday after Thanksgiving ––
the kick off of the Christmas
season.
The Studio owner John
Stanton said this is a week-
end his store would be busy
regardless, but called Holly
Days a “wonderful” beginning
to the season.
“It gets us excited, and I
think it gets other merchants
excited,” Stanton said.
Stanton is celebrating his
29th Christmas season in Dux-
bury as a local merchant. He
pointed out that he bought The
Studio in 1981, during a re-
cession. Many stores in town
were shuttered at that time, he
said, and he believes Duxbury
residents are aware that’s what
will happen again if they don’t
support the local businesses.
“I think they want to sup-
port the business community,”
he said.
He said that while Holly

windfall for local stores that

Duxbury’s Ugandan ties

there are no beds. He is naked
because he doesn’t have mon-
ey for clothes, and the nurses
are ignoring him because he
doesn’t have money for treat-
ment. Patients in hospitals in
Uganda are usually taken care
of by their family, but he is
alone.
Rebecca Richards and
Kelsey Jordan were working
in the health clinic as part of
a 10-week trip they took to the
country. Richards had a large
shirt she was planning on do-
nating anyway, so she gave it
to the grateful man.
“The man was so happy,
the nurses were so thrown that
0-
someone would give the shirt
off their back – literally.” said
Jordan.
“You have a different per-
spective now,” said Richards.
“You see how huge the eco-
nomic disparities are between
rich and poor ... When you’re
in the position where you’re
able to do something, it’s your
duty to do so.”
While in Uganda, Jor-
dan and Richards were busy.
They visited the orphanage
built by Duxbury residents.
They worked at a health clinic,
helped out on farms, worked at
a special needs school and did
data entry for a women’s em-
powerment center. The bulk
of their work, however, was

AIDS education –– something
that’s of vital importance in a
country where the disease is
ravaging the population, leav-
ing many families parent-less
and creating “child-led house-
holds.”
The duo taught lessons
to school children of all ages
–– to some groups as large as
100.
“They knew what HIV
was, but they didn’t know how
they could get it,” said Jordan.
The children had a lot of mis-
conceptions about the disease,
for example thinking it could
be contracted from holding
hands or sleeping on the same
mattress.
They also did some tutor-
ing to large groups in areas
like math, English and com-

“There were always more
kids than computers.” said
Jordan. “They wanted to learn
how to type.”
The two had been to Africa
before, Jordan in 2008 with a
group called Cross Culture So-
lutions and Richards in 2007
with Eckard College. But they
were both looking for another
opportunity to volunteer, and
came across the story of Dan
Hall and Chris Blake, who
had traveled to Uganda last
year and worked with a group
called the Uganda Rural Fund,
raising money to build a new
boys’ house at an orphanage
in the village of Kyetume. The
foursome met for coffee a few
times to discuss their volunteer
work half a world away before
the girls decided to embark on
the 10-week trip.
“I think it’s fantastic the
younger generation has got-
ten into this whole thing,” said
Hall. “I remember saying I
hope they’re not going to be
disappointed ... but from read-
ing their e-mails they were in-
tensely busy.”
All four were impressed
with the devotion of the stu-
dents, many of whom come
from such poverty they are
often faced with the choice of
food or school.
“These kids are going to
stay in poverty unless they
get an education,” said Blake.
“Hope Academy [the school
run by the Ugandan Rural
Fund] is the first chance these
kids have had to get an educa-
tion that gets them out of sub-
sistence farming.”

name a few of the creative categories. Foodie Craze is available
online. No kitchen is complete without the perfect knife and
ceramic blade knives are the latest in cutting edge utensils.
While they shouldn’t be used to debone a chicken or tackle a
rough and tough cutting job, ceramic blade knives will delicately
slice through the softest tomato and won’t damage delicate
herbs or turn them black when chopped. A smaller, utility size
ceramic blade knife is a great addition to any cooks collection.
Silicone boards are rapidly replacing wooden or plastic
cutting boards as the preferred surface for slicing, dicing and
chopping. Dishwasher safe, flexible for pouring finely chopped
ingredients and wisely color coded, these boards are practical
and affordable. They come in various colors to help avoid cross-
contamination: the red board is for meat, the green is for veggies 174 East Street, Duxbury. Picture perfect for the first time home buyer or those

Recall on the agenda?
By Susanna Sheehan, Clipper Staff
susanna@duxburyclipper.com
Selectmen have been asked
to consider sponsoring an arti-
cle for next year’s annual town
meeting that gives voters the
right to recall elected officials.
David Lowry of Standish
Street presented the recall pe-
tition article, which he said
was created by a law firm that
specializes in municipal law.
Currently, Duxbury does
not have a recall procedure.
“To not have any recall
provision doesn’t seem appro-
priate,” Lowry said.
Lowry said he felt that
such an article would be bet-
ter accepted by the public if
selectmen presented it to town
meeting instead of bringing it
forward through a citizen’s pe-
tition.
Selectmen listened to Low-
ry’s presentation but did not
make any decisions regarding
sponsoring the article.
Selectman Jon Witten said
this article made him “very
nervous.”
Selectmen Chairwoman
Betsy Sullivan, agreed, saying
such a recall article “was not
without peril.”
The draft article lists the
process to follow to begin a re-
call election: first, a registered
Duxbury voter files an affi-
davit with the town clerk that
lists the name of the elected
official considered for recall
and the reason for the recall.
This document must be signed
by at least ten registered vot-
ers and returned to the town
clerk.
The clerk then issues cop-
ies of blank recall petitions that
must be signed within 30 days
by five percent of the town’s

are considering a proposal to eliminate the one free barrel of
C&D and increase the per barrel charge from $5 to $7.50 each.
Also, instead of charging by the level or heaping truckload,
all trucks would be weighed and charged ten cents per pound.
Construction and demolition debris is anything that won’t fit
into a town trash bag. The town loses money in this area of the
transfer station budget, said Finance Director John Madden. It
costs Duxbury over $111,000 to dispose of this type of trash,
which includes anything left at the take-it-or-leave-it area, also
known as the “mall.” The town receives only $29,000 in rev-
enues from those who pay to dispose of this type of refuse.
Selectmen wanted more information on the impact of the mall
items that must be trashed before making a decision on the
new fees. There is no plan to increase transfer station sticker
fees for next year.
In other business, selectmen:

• Declared a bonus shellfish season for oysters that can be
harvested on the first four Wednesdays in December. A shell-

4 Duxbury Clipper
Cool as ice continued from page one
because Duxbury has a busload of splendid figure skaters at all
ages and levels. Delightful, because the resulting exchanges
with parents and skaters opened my eyes to a world of fierce
and beautiful artists, parents and coaches right under my nose.
New plan: I’m mentioning all the Duxbury skaters in
the exhibition, with Joan’s help. In rough order by age (from
about 5 or 6 years old through high school age), Sophie Early,
Corryn Castello, Maura Anderson, Sophia Sullivan, Maya Lee,
Caroline Kent, Liam Beatson, Lauren Willett, Emma Sheehan,
Sophie McCann, Emily Gunderson, and Kelly Cronin. Two
other hometown skaters who figured prominently in last year’s
oversight, Alex Shaughnessy and Tessa Riccio, are still quite
active but not skating in this exhibition.
Other Yarmouth Ice Club skaters will skate, too, including
Senior Ladies Maddie Wunder and (from the Colonial Figure
Skating Club) Kylie Duarte. I wrote about Maddie last year,
and I actually met Kylie at last year’s Eastern Championships,
where she medaled, with her partner Colin Grafton in the
Novice Pairs class. In other words, I waved at Kylie and she
waved back. It’s true! She looked right at me! Colin, Joan said,
is taking SATs this weekend, but Kylie also skates as a single.
Part of my delight at last year’s fiasco was learning that
U.S. Figure Skating is all one fabric. Senior Ladies are in the
same class as the stars we see on television, separated only by
their placement in various qualifying competitions. On Saturday
at the Bog, you’ll also see brand new skaters, just out of their
Learn-to-Skate classes and taking their first-ever bows before
a live, public audience. This being New England, you may
see the first performances of a future Peggy Fleming, Nancy
Kerrigan, or Scott Hamilton. Moreover, this is an Olympic
Winter Games season. You can use the live performance to tune
your eyes and ears for the upcoming televised championships
and the Games themselves in mid-February.
Like musical performance, or any athletics, there is no
substitute for seeing figure skating in person. Watching the
sweetest beginners or the fieriest seniors, you must be in the
building to sense the power and grace of these young athletes.
Last year I was taken by surprise by the caliber of the Bog’s
skaters, and the links to the highest levels of the sport that run
through Duxbury people like Joan Bunnell, Alison Arnold,
Sidney Arnold and Chuck Foster. This year, I’m ready. Now
you can be taken by surprise, for a mere $5, $3 for seniors
and students, and free admission for children 6 and under.
The skating starts at 11:30 a.m. and runs until 1 p.m., with
intermission music by the Brass Ensemble. Don’t forget to
bring a new, unwrapped toy for the Marine Corps’ Toys for
Tots. Come early. The Brass Ensemble will start well before the
skating, and there is a light snack bar at the Bog, so there’ll be
plenty of hot chocolate to keep away the chill.
Dragons beat Rams
continued from page one
where Haffey dropped back and fired over the middle, only to
be picked off by junior Jonathan Fraser, who went 95 yards un-
touched and into the end zone. Sean Griffith kicked the PAT and
the Rams were suddenly back in the game.
A failed onside kick gave the Dragons great field position at
midfield, where on third down Haffey hit Hallisey down the left
sideline for a spectacular 34-yard reception down to the Ram
13.
After Duxbury failed to get a first down, Coach Dave Maim-
aron called for Startzell to attempt a 27-yard field goal. Despite
the x-rated taunts from the Ram defense and the snap-saving
grab by junior holder Dan Fiset, the junior kicker split the up-
rights to put the game away.
“We would have liked to get the shutout today,” said Maim-
aron. “The defense played terrific. Other then some returns and
a couple of third down plays they played spectacular.”
The Dragons will now get ready to take on the Rams on
Tuesday night in the first round of the MIAA Division IIA play-
offs.
“It looks like we stayed healthy and that was the most im-
portant thing, so hopefully they did too and we’ll have a good
match-up on Tuesday,” said Maimaron.

Dragons’ Den

Freshmen dismantle Marshfield, 28-0

It would have been dif-
ficult to script a better ending
to the Duxbury High School
freshman football team’s per-
fect season, as the undefeated
Dragons (11-0) shutout Marsh-
field, 28-0, on Friday prior to
Thanksgiving.
Football
Duxbury 28
Marshfield 0
With less than three min-
utes gone in the game, Dux-
bury jumped out to an early
lead on a 20-yard pass play
from quarterback John Geary
to Joe Guilfoile. Tucker Han-
non added the extra point and
the Dragons were on top 7-0.
Two drives later the Drag-
ons marched to the Marsh-
field eight-yard line, where
Jon Hurvitz took a pitch from
Geary around the left side and
followed the blocks of Robert
Kosharek and Marshall McCa-
rthy into the end zone for his
16th touchdown of the year.
Hannon’s PAT made it 14-0 at
the half.
The Dragon defensive
line of Owen Grey, Winston
Schromm, George Ward and
Kosharek, along with the line-
backing crew of C.J. LoConte,
Henry Narlee and McCarthy,
stifled nearly every Marsh-
field advance in the first half.
When the Rams tried to pass,
Colin Johnson, Pat Buell and
Guilfoile were there to smack
away most of the attempts.
As the second half began,
Narlee set the tone for the rest
of the game, as he muscled up
the middle, then veered to his
left and back again to his right,
vaulting into the end zone to
cap a 55-yard touchdown run.
Hannon converted the extra
point and Duxbury led 21-0
with barely a minute gone in
the third quarter.
Marshfield then mounted
its most successful drive of the
evening, as it racked up three
first downs on its way into
Dragon territory. However,
Narlee intercepted a Marsh-
field pass at the Duxbury 10-
yard line and ran through and
around Ram after Ram to the
Marshfield 24: a 66-yard re-
turn.
Starting the fourth quarter,
Brendan Fitzgerald completed
the Dragon rout with a 10-yard
touchdown run up the middle.
Hannon’s extra point made it
28-0.
As time expired, the un-
beaten and untied Dragons
doused Head Coach Michael
Armandi and Assistant Coach-
es Jim Mello and Chris Buron
in a well-earned celebratory
shower of Gatorade.
NO QUESTION: Rob Kosharek
leaves little doubt who is #1
after the Dragons shutout
Marshfield, 28-0 to finish the
season at 11-0.

The 2009 Duxbury Varsity

Varsity Midgets Win D2 Super Bowl
Midgets opened the Old Colony
League playoffs with an excit-
ing OT win over Hanover, rally-
ing from a 7-0 deficit late in the
fourth quarter before winning in
its fourth overtime.
The following week the
Dragons returned to the friendly
turf at Duxbury High School to
face Silver Lake for the Divi-
sion II Super Bowl. The Lak-
ers were the only team in their
league that had beaten Duxbury
during the regular season. With
the field surrounded by fans, it
was an electric atmosphere for
the 25 eighth-graders preparing
to play their last youth football
game. DHS Coach Dave Maim-
aron had made a guest appear-
ance at the team’s last practice
to remind them that Duxbury
football players aren’t satis-
fied to just play in big games,
but they expect to win big
games.  Clearly, the “Cardiac
Kids” took that to heart in one
of the most exciting athletic
events of their lives.
After stopping the Silver
Lake running game with key
tackles for losses by linebackers
Teddie Bettencourt and Drew
Dowling, Duxbury was forced
to make an early stand after
the Lakers completed a fluky
35-yard reception that bounced
off a helmet into the receiver’s
hands on the Duxbury 20. On a
fourth and goal from the Dux-
bury five-yard line, the defense
stopped running back Matt Pin-
netti for a two-yard loss, and the
Duxbury offense took over on
their own seven-yard line. 
On Duxbury’s first offen-
sive play of the game, fullback
Nick Marrocco took the hand-
off and bounced outside to his
left, sprinting 93 yards down
the sideline in front of his own
cheering bench to put the Drag-
ons ahead, 6-0.  A successful
two-point conversion by Khai
Perry gave Duxbury an 8-0
lead.
A stunned Silver Lake squad
came back to the field hoping
to get its vaunted offense (24

points per game,) on track, but
the Duxbury defense was up
to the task and again stuffed
the Lakers’ offense on the next
series.  The Duxbury defen-
sive line put heavy pressure on
Laker QB Adam Gay, with the
interior of the line getting great
penetration from Johnny Con-
gdon, Chris Mulone, Brendan
Breen and Jack Herlihy, causing
hurried throws that were easily
defended by corners Wes Quin-
zani and Sean McCarthy, along
with safety Drew Hadley.

the Silver Lake defense on its
heels. Taking over on their own

huge fourth downs to keep the
drive alive; the first on a 45-
yard pass from Sean McCa-
rthy to Drew Hadley.  Later in
the drive, after some punishing
runs by Perry behind the block-
ing of Ricky Lippard and Mar-

Christmas at the King Caesar House

The annual “Christmas at
the King Caesar House” will
take place Dec. 11-13. Teams of
local designers will soon con-
verge on the 1809 federal man-
sion and fill it with elaborate
decorations and holiday cheer.
On Friday, Dec. 11, from 6
to 8 p.m., the Society will host
the Members’ Preview Party.
The general public may tour
the house on Saturday, Dec. 12,
from Noon until 6 p.m. and on
Sunday, Dec. 13, from Noon
until 4 p.m. Tickets are $10 for
non-members, $5 for students/
seniors and children under 6 are
admitted free.
As always, the event will
feature a Holiday Boutique of-
fering jewelry, crafts, and other
unique gifts for sale from local
South Shore artisans.
The ever popular “Story
Hour with Santa” at the King
Caesar House will be held on
Saturday, Dec. 12 from 11 to
noon. There will be no charge
to attend this event. Santa will
be there to tell a story or two
and to take photographs with
children.
The King Caesar House was
built in 1809 for Ezra Weston II
and his wife, Jerusha Bradford
Weston. Weston was known as
“King Caesar” for his world-
wide preeminence in shipbuild-
ing and shipping during the
early 19th century. The house
is a fine example of Federal
period architecture, built with
careful attention to detail and
characteristic of skilled ships’
carpenters such as Ezra Weston
employed.
For additional information,
contact the Society at 781-934-
6106 or visit www.duxburyhis-
tory.org.
