Bay Farm Field wont be seeing a return to its agricultural roots, as Town Meeting voters rejected an article that would have allowed commercial hay farming there by a count of 82-180. The article on the warrant, article 30, would have allowed the town to enter into a contract with local Town farmers to grow harvest MeeTing and hay. The Board 2011 of Selectmen already has the authority to execute a lease for this purpose for up to five years, but the article would have raised it to 10. When purchased by the town, Bay Farm Field was a mess, said Mark Keating of the Finance Committee, making reference to cars that used

tion land, its instead part of a complex agreement with neighboring Kingston that could be changed at any time, Keating said. If approved, the hay at the field would help sustain local dairies, he added. The intent is a multi-use property where farm land and walking trails can co-exist, he said. The spot is also a popular one for dog walking, and that would still be allowed. Neighbor Steven Schroeder said that he was concerned that the agricultural uses of the land might be expanded to corn and/or soy in the future. He urged his fellow voters to keep Bay Farm the way it is. We just need to say no to changing Bay Farm, he said. Lets not convert 40 acres of very popular recreation land to agriculture. He also said that he had solicited a letter from Mass. Audubon, and that organization believes the current use of the land should be a priority. Myrna Walsh of Autumn Avenue acknowledged the lands farming past but pointed out that a third of the land is now salt marsh. When I was a young girl that was a beautiful hay field, she said. [But] its moved away from its dairy nature. Residents who spoke both for and against the article seemed to be more concerned with canines than cows, as some complained about excessive dog droppings and dog owners worried their access to the trails may be restricted. The objections to this are people who simply want to let their dog run, said Wayne Heward. I think it would be foolish not to support this article. Some residents also took issue with the characterization of the vegetation at Bay Farm as invasive species. Im a little disturbed to hear people refer to this meadow as a field of weeds, said Deborah Dunphy of Parks Street. Id call them wildflowers. Voters werent convinced of the financial benefit of hay, and voted down the article.

Sullivan feted at last meeting

Outgoing three-term Selectman Betsy Sullivan was feted at her last board meeting Monday night. Sullivan was honored by both her staff, who presented her with a resolution, and by State Representative Thomas Calter, who gave her a proclamation from the state legislature recognizing her public service. Sullivans nine years as a selectman and 19 years of volunteering on town boards and committees was also acknowledged with a resolution at the Saturday session of the annual Town Meeting March 12. Anne Murray who works in the selectmens office wrote the staffs resolution, which recognized Sullivan as a mentor and a friend. Sullivan has gone above and beyond in serving the staff, always responding to their calls and e-mails while being a much needed source of amusement for her staff, wrote Murray. Betsy has the Irish gift of gab that never fails to entertain and an endless stream of sayings to go with it, wrote Murray. We will miss her because Betsy brightened our lives. Acknowledging her some times feisty nature, Murray wrote that Sullivan has never shied away from a controversial topic, having no problem letting others know where she stood on an issue and being unanimous in knowing she was right. In crediting Sullivans achievements, Calter recalled the confidential folder of bios he received from former state representative Thomas OBrien, which listed the personalities and characters of all the selectmen in his districts six towns. Calter said that Sullivans bio was the most unique and flattering assessment of any type of public official in the six towns I represent. In his letter, OBrien said: Sullivan is tough, shes fun, shes fair, shes always prepared, and she knows how to laugh, Calter remembered. Then I got to meet you, and you probably dont recall, but I was standing right here, and I said Were going to do the best we can on the budget, and you said Youd better! As Calter presented Sullivan with the proclamation from the House of Representatives that congratulated her on her leadership, selfless dedication and tireless commitment to the Duxbury Board of Selectmen from 2002 to 2011, he said: Youre always the person who is making sure that the other person is being recognized, and in public service, that is a beautiful quality, its a rare quality and one that we need more of. Youre always the person to make sure

that conflicts get resolved in an amicable way another beautiful quality. Selectmen Chairman Shawn Dahlen told Sullivan: In a town with a tremendous amount of volunteers, you are truly a shining star. You have taken this position and held it to the highest standard. You will be missed, Town Manager Richard MacDonald told Sullivan. Youve been a tremendous selectman and the town is proud of you. Thank you, responded Sullivan. It has been a pleasure to serve. Prior to her election as a selectmen, Sullivan served on the School Committee from 1992-2001 and was its chairman in 1993 and 1994; she was also a member of the Finance Committee. As a selectman, Sullivan served on the Plymouth County Advisory Board, the Affordable Housing Committee, the Town Government Study Committee, and was also the Selectmens liaison to numerous boards and committees. You came up ladder, paid your dues and learned it from the grass roots on up, and thats whats made you such a tremendous selectperson, said Calter. I know that great public servants dont go away, Calter
continued. They come, they serve, they have an impact, and they leave, and thats what they are supposed to do. But then they come back when the call comes again. Murray echoed this sentiment in her resolution, saying that Sullivan learned from her father to always leave the party when people are still sorry to see you go, and we can truly say we are sorry to see Betsy go. In other business, selectmen: Were informed that the town went out to bid again for the North Hill golf course management contract and received one bid this week. MacDonald said that bid will be scrutinized by the states Inspector General and will be reviewed by the court that is overseeing the pending lawsuit between the town and the former manager, Johnson Golf, Inc., who has been allowed by court order to remain the manager of North Hill. Learned that Town Manager Richard MacDonald would like to form a committee to celebrate Duxburys 375th birthday next year. Anyone interested in serving on this committee can fill out a talent bank form and submit it to the selectmens office or call that office for more information.

Buyers place a higher value on towns that value their schools.
- Pat Slechta, Realtor, Duxbury mother of two

While it is never easy to see ones taxes raised, I firmly believe that new schools are needed to both enhance and improve the quality of our childrens education. In addition there is a direct correlation between the quality of our schools and our property values. While property values have declined over the last few years, a vote for the new schools will go a long way in stabilizing and hopefully improving property values in Duxbury. As a parent of two DHS graduates and one current DHS student, all three of my children have expressed the time is long overdue for new schools.

Historic districts approved

Voters at Town Meeting approved limited local historic districts many years after a larger effort to create such a district off High Street failed. The Town Meeting article also approved a bylaw that would govern such districts. There are three districts: Town Winsor MeeTing The Historic Local 2011 District, which is on Washington Street and includes the Duxbury Rural and Historical Societys headquarters; the Bradford Historic District, at the Tremont Street end of Harrison Street; and the First Parish Church District which consists solely of said church. Jim Hartford, chairman of the Local Historic District Study Committee, said he drew on the lessons of past failure this time around. [The previous article failed] largely on the perception of being told, rather than asked, what they were going to be subject to, Hartford said. We took from that a huge lesson, and decided we would turn this 180 degrees, said Committee member Pam Smith. We want to kick this off with people who want to do this. This time around, the historic districts include only property owners who volunteer, he said. The bylaw is also designed to be minimally invasive it does not impose any limits on interior work, or things like paint. Local historic districts provide a visual sense of the past, Hartford said. These districts have proved effective at saving historic structures, neighborhoods and buildings. The study committee has been examining the idea of creating historic protection districts for two years. DuxBy Justin GraeBer, Clipper editor Justin@duxBuryClipper.Com
Speaking to Duxburys sense of historic preservation, Katherine Pillsbury told the crowd: Its not in dollars and cents, its the sense of the place. bury does have a national register district the Shipbuilders District, along Washington Street but does not have local historic district. A national district does not limit in anyway a homeowners ability to manage their property. In general, local historic districts are far more effective in preventing changes, Hartford said. The Finance Committee, in a mixed vote, recommended disapproval of the article, calling it unnecessary regulation. In his presentation, Hartford stressed the lengths his group went to in making sure homeowners involved in the district were comfortable with the bylaw. The main thrust ... was to solicit input on the part of the owners of these properties, he said. The process of creating historic districts is just that a process. There were two amendments to the original motion on Town Meeting floor. One removed one of the homes, the other incorporated an updated version of the bylaw, correcting several typos. The fact that a homeowner had pulled out so late in the process prompted several questions. Hartford said it was a home in the process of being
sold. I would like to know what the future of this is, said Scott Casaverde. Is the future to connect the dots and encompass everyone in the area? Hartford said that any changes to the bylaw either to remove homes or to make the process non-voluntary would have to come before Town Meeting. Former Town Historian Katherine Pillsbury urged residents to adopt the article, saying that preservation of historic homes was a major issue when she was the historian. Not a month went by without someone body telephoning me about a historic house, she said. This community is amazing in the number of people who really have a passion for history ... Its not in dollars and cents, its the sense of the place. A voice vote on the article wasnt clear, so Town Moderator called for a hand count and the article passed 194-68.

Bookshop accepts purchase offer

t looks as though Westwinds Bookshop, the South Shores oldest independent bookstore, will be continuing the tradition of selling books in Duxbury. The current owners Chris and Marilyn Haraden have accepted a purchase offer from Duxbury residents Douglas and Lydia Hart. A closing is scheduled at the end of the month. The Haradens began looking for a buyer at the beginning of this year and were searching for someone who would continue Westwinds tradition of community service in the years ahead. The Harts are just the people to do that. Its been a very positive and rewarding experience for us for the past six years, and we are very happy that Westwinds will continue to be a resource for the community for many years to come, under the leadership of people with strong roots in town, said Marilyn Haraden, who has become well known in Duxbury through her work at Westwinds. We know that our customers will support the bookshops new ownership team and show them the same loyalty that has allowed Westwinds to remain a local tradition for 65 years, she said. The long history of the store and its dedicated customers contributed to the Harts decision to purchase the store. We have been Westwinds customers for years. Weve always appreciated having the bookstore in Duxbury, and we know that there is a loyal core of customers who, like us, do not want to see the tradition end, said Doug Hart. Westwinds history began in 1946 when Margaret Carter Metcalf established the Westwinds Book Shop and Lending Library in the carriage house of her Washington Street estate. The bookstore has been going strong ever since.
speCial to the Clipper
The Harts, have life-long ties to Duxbury. Both Lydia and Doug grew up summering in Duxbury, and remember shopping at Westwinds at its previous Snug Harbor location. The Harts moved permanently to Duxbury in 1999, and have been actively involved in the community. Doug is co-founder of Penobscot Investment Management Co. Inc., in Boston and served as a co-chair of the Open Space and Recreation Committee in Duxbury. He was a long time treasurer of Plimoth Plantation and is the current chair of the Wildlands Trust. Doug will continue to work at Penobscot, while Lydia will devote her efforts to Westwinds. Lydia was given Duxburys Community Impact Award in 2009 for her work at the Duxbury Thrift shop, which included expanding the shop to a bigger space, which, in turn, greatly increased its scholarship fund that annually provides scholarships to graduating, college-bound students of Duxbury High School. Shes an avid reader and has always been one of Westwinds loyal customers. The Harts will take full ownership of the store on March 31, and quickly prepare for their first literary event on April 7, when author Marianne Leone will visit the Duxbury Free Library for a reading, discussion and book signing of her book Knowing Jesse. The event is co-sponsored by the Duxbury Free Library, the Special Education Parent Advisor Council (SEPAC) and Westwinds. We are excited to be part of this event, said Lydia, We look forward to continuing Westwinds partnership with the library and other town organization to be a literary resource to the communitya bookstore that matters. For more information and updates about Westwinds, join them on Facebook.
Having family so close by is wonderful, says Joe.

Citizens petition approved

continued from page one
towns zoning bylaws. The articles proponents hailed the vote as a victory for homeowners rights, but Planning Board members said it could create a situation where people could live permanently in the finished building creating essentially two single family homes on one lot. The Planning Board had a similar article on the warrant, offering their proposed changes to the bylaw which would specifically exclude an outbuilding from being used as a dwelling. However, at their meeting several weeks ago, the Board of Selectmen placed the Planning Boards article after the citizens petition. At Town Meeting on Tuesday night, Moderator Friend Weiler said he would allow speakers some leeway so that both articles could be discussed at once. The Planning Board had recommended prior to Town Meeting that both articles be passed over so that a compromise could be reached. However, article 33s proponent, Jessica Williams, did not agree. It isnt appropriate for Duxbury residents to be treated this way, Williams said. The Finance Committee also did not go along with the request to indefinitely postpone articles 33 and 34, recommending article 33 by a vote of 8-0-1. The accessory structure definitions have proved troublesome over the years, particularly recently, said Eugene Blanchard. While not perfect, [article 33] brought some clarity to the definition. Williams said that she gathered 167 signatures for a petition supporting her article, and obtained the approval of the Board of Selectmen as well
as the Finance Committee. What is this about? Simply maintaining your right to build outbuildings with finished spaces, she told the Town Meeting crowd. She said she was in 100 percent agreement with the Planning Board that Duxbury should have one family per property zoning. However, she thinks residents should have the option of finished space in an accessory structure. Williams was gracious towards the Planning Board, calling them well-meaning volunteers, but said they had essentially changed the way an accessory structure is defined. I want to maintain this exact right that youve always had, she said. Were eliminating the loophole the Planning Board has used to reinterpret the definition. Planning Board Chairwoman Amy MacNab was not as diplomatic with her response. The majority of that proponents and supporters of article 33 are people that have either the potential to make money or that have a zoning violation, she said, eliciting boos from the crowd as she began to speak. MacNab denied that the Planning Board was changing the definition. She said accessory structure was space you can use but you cannot dwell in. You cant live in it, she said. That is what the bylaw says right now. She said that approving the citizens petition could have unintended consequences, and could lead to illegal apartments. Common sense tells us that if you build space suitable for dwelling, it will be used as a dwelling, she said. She also said the current practice of only calling a struc-
ture a dwelling unit if it has a stove was impractical. I havent had a visit from the stove police any time in the recent past, she said. Several residents spoke in support of Williams article. I dont think the proposal in anyway makes anybody any money, said Scott Casagrande. The inherent rights we have have been more or less taken back. It ends up costing the homeowner thousands and thousands of dollars on appeal just to maintain their rights, added Barbara Clifford. Williams article passed on a hand count, 182-62 and an immediate move to reconsider the article failed.

Big projects on the ballot

building, part of a project that is estimated to eventually cost $130 million. Project proponents say the work is overdue and necessary to provide adequate service to the town, but some critics balk at the price tag, which may (if the total school project is eventually approved) add thousands to residents tax bills. Police Chief Matthew Clancy said he is maintaining guarded optimism after his project received nearly unanimous support on Town Meeting floor last week. That hasnt always translated into success at the polls, he said, referencing several other public safety projects that sailed through Town Meeting only to be defeated at the ballot box. I do feel confident that its widely recognized that this is a project that needs to get done, he said. The longer we wait, the price isnt going anywhere but up. Clancy said that the current police station which is essentially a house built for a much smaller police force is limiting the effectivness of the police department. From my perspective, [the most important result of a new station] is going to be the ability to regain a level of effectiveness that weve kind of lost because of the substandard facility, he said. Theres things we need to be doing that we cant do because of the need for a new facility. He pointed to things like simple forensic work not the fancy computer-based wizardry one sees on CSI, but basic things like fingerprint processing and evidence storage. Space is also an issue at the cramped station. There is no place to do large scale training, Clancy said, nor are there proper interview rooms. We just simply dont have a room to do that in. He also said the infrastructure limitations of the current station hampers the departments computer crimes efforts.
Not a week goes by that were not taking in cases like that, he said. Thats going to be the biggest bang for the buck [in a new facility]. Fire Chief Kevin Nord said he has heard the voice of voters over the last couple of years who demanded a more cost effective improvement project however, he feels its time for something to be done. I think the problems not going to go away, Nord said. We hope that we get the support so we can move forward with the second part of what Town Meeting asked us to do last year, he added, referring to the design money approved in 2010. The major thrust of the renovations would be to create gender appropriate staff quarters (the station was built before Duxbury had female firefighters) and work on the heating systems, as well as removing some environmental problems like faulty oil drains and an illegal maintenance pit. I think this is a really good project with the town and for us, Nord said. It will carry us well into the next 5070 years. Public Safety Building Committee Chairman Andre Martecchini said that the time is right to get something done for police and fire. We have a great need. The buildings are in very poor condition. They dont meet the current needs and space requirements for the departments, he said. Martecchini also added that this is a favorable climate for construction, pointing our the fire station bids came in lower than expected. Although the vote Saturday is for design money only, school officials are saying the current high school and middle school are outdated and having a negative effect on students education. Education has changed since these were built, said
Superintendent of Schools Benedict Tantillo. They dont have any of the electric support, IT support, video support thats needed in todays building ... they dont serve our purpose anymore. Tantillo said that because Town Election Duxbury is participating in the March 26, 2011 model school program, new facilities wouldnt be top-ofthe-line, just updated to meet the educational needs of the Experience Counts students. I will be a strong library advocate for our The model school program isnt state-of-the-art, invaluable town resource. its just a modern, up-to-date building, he said. Friends of Duxbury Free Library The biggest education challenge posed by the current middle school building, he said, is the inability to have different classes in the same grade work together. www.donnaforlibrarytrustee.info Were going to be moving toward working on interdisciPaid for by Donna Ryan, 30 Driftwood Drive, Duxbury, MA 02332 plinary course work, he said. We want to have areas where sets of classrooms can meet. At the high school, he said the infrastructure is a stumbling block for technology, as well as inadequate science labs that put Duxbury students behind those coming from other, more modern high schools. Whats really hurting us here is the lack of technology, he said. We just cant support it here. If the new school isnt approved, Tantillo said the school department will have to come back to Town Meeting for millions just to make basic repairs.

If you have sent your kids through the Duxbury High School in the last 25 years or so you did so because someone before you paid for it. Personally, we think we will look back on the building of new schools as an expensive undertaking but with tremendous value. We think the impact on our home finances will eventually fade and that supporting the new schools will look like one of the smartest things we have ever done.

Town counsel says Blairhaven votes were legal

the motion for reconsideration that led to the purchase being approved was improperly raised. However, new Town Moderator Friend Weiler says it was a necessary move to ensure a fair vote, and Duxbury town counsel says that all the votes taken were legal. During last Mondays Town Meeting session, voters rejected article 24, which would have purchased five acres off Howlands Landing using Community Preservation Act money, by a vote of 389-209. (The vote received a majority, but not the two thirds majority required.) As the time was after 9 p.m., many voters started to leave the Performing Arts Center. A while later, a resident made a motion to reconsider the vote on article 24, which passed 274-119. Residents who had left the meeting thinking the Blairhaven matter settled rushed back, and some peo-
Volunteers needed for study
Prior to Town Meeting, Town Manager Richard MacDonald appointed a committee to study the uses of Blairhaven if the $3 million Community Preseration Act purchase passed. MacDonald said Monday he would be appointing more people to the study committee next week. MacDonald has received applications from another six people and anyone who is interested in serving on the committee can fill out an application by contacting the town managers office. Wednesday, March 23, is the last day to apply. question is put, Troy wrote. Deborah Medders, president of the Massachusetts Moderators Association, said it all comes down to being able to get an accurate count. It is the responsibility of a moderator to be able to call votes that really could not run the risk of being called into question, said Medders. She said that a moderator would certainly have the authority to prevent more voters from taking their seats with a question on the floor. If there was movement that may make counting difficult, it would be the responsible thing to do to determine who would be counted, Medders said. She also backed Troys assertion that a moderator has the final say in all Town Meeting procedural matters. When Town Meeting has formally convened, the moderator has absolute authority, Medders said. Some residents also say the motion to reconsider was improper because it was not made by a voter from the winning side, i.e., someone who initially voted against the purchase. However, it appears this is a moot point because that is not a rule at Duxbury Town Meeting. Duxbury has a bylaw that governs conduct at Town Meeting, but it is silent on reconsideration, except to say that a motion to reconsider has to pass by the same majority required by the original article. Questions not specifically answered by the bylaw are deferred to Town Meeting Times, which is ambivalent on this issue.
have strong feelings one way or the other about the town buying Blairhaven. However, she is upset with the way the process was handled, saying she was most upset with the fact that debate was cut off so quickly. The fact that they didnt even open it up for debate tells me what their intent was, she said. Weiler said that he was told by town counsel he had the authority to freeze the room. Im sorry its become a controversial issue, that was not my intent, he said.
Some manuals and bylaws provide that reconsideration may be moved only by one who voted on the side that prevailed on the first vote, reads Town Meeting Times. However, the manual goes on to say that this rule would be difficult to apply. The safer, if less heroic course is not to try to apply the rule at all. Another issue raised by Blairhaven opponents is the idea that reconsideration is allowed only if there is new information to be considered. However, both the Duxbury bylaw and Town Meeting Times do not mention this at
all.
Troy said that all of the votes taken regarding the Blairhaven matter are valid. All four of these votes were by hand counted votes in accordance with the procedure established by the moderator in accordance with the discretionary authority imbued in him by Massachusetts law, Troy wrote. However legal the votes may be, there are still some residents soured by the whole experience. They should have allowed deliberation, said Copp. It just showed to me that they wanted to win at any cost.

Im sorry its become a controversial issue, that was not my intent ... As far as Im concerned theyre all legal votes and we have to move on. Moderator Friend Weiler
ple moved out to the lobby to make phone calls. Shortly after the motion to reconsider passed, another person made a motion to call the question, ending debate and effectively forcing a second vote on the Blairhaven purchase. The vote was close, and Weiler asked for a hand count. The clerk brought it my attention that there were a lot of people moving around and the tellers were having a hard time getting an accurate count, said Weiler this week. Weiler says he was advised by Duxburys town attorney to make sure the vote was accurate and lawful. Thats when he asked police officers to prevent any additional residents from taking seats or moving around inside the hall. Weiler said his intent was to freeze the people in the room to get an accurate count. He estimates that there were between 5-10 people outside the PAC at the time, a number echoed by a number of residents who say they were in that crowd. After the vote was taken (Town Meeting voted 301-102 to end debate), residents were again allowed to take their seats for the full vote on reconsideration. That motion passed 302-116, effectively reversing the earlier decision. The voters outside the PAC would not have swayed the vote either way. However, the barring of voters from taking their seats has some citizens steaming. Tracy Copp, who was one of those voters, said she didnt Although he said he understands why Blairhaven opponents are upset, he feels that the move was within his authority as moderator. As far as Im concerned theyre all legal votes ... and we have to move on, he said. That isnt good enough for some residents, however, who felt their rights were denied. Paul Driscoll said in a letter to the Clipper that the move was outrageous and clearly unconstitutional; no amount of spinning will change that. (Read the full letter on page 20.) Town Counsel Robert Troy, in a memo prepared for Town Manager Richard MacDonald and dated March 18, said that the moderators authority over Town Meeting is absolute. He said that this is true to such an extent that appellate courts have upheld decisions made by moderators that are mistakes, such as miscounting a vote. The moderator may ... make any orders appropriate to assure that votes are properly tallied and recorded, Troy wrote. Duxburys bylaws are based on a manual called Town Meeting Times, which is in turn based on the bible of parliamentary procedure, Roberts Rules of Order. Roberts Rules, according to Troy, says that once a question has been put to the vote, voters not in their seats cannot be counted. It is my opinion as town counsel that it is within the lawful discretion of the moderator to limit voting to persons who are seated at the time the

y name is Donna Morelli Ryan, and I am a candidate for Library Trustee. As a lifelong Duxbury resident, I have been involved with the Duxbury Free Library since I got my first library card when I was six years old. My love of our library grew and while at Duxbury High School I worked as a library page. In 1998, I moved back to Duxbury with my husband David and two young sons. Once again, I returned to the library to attend storytimes and various programs. In 1999 I joined the Board of the Friends of the Duxbury Free Library where I served for seven years, including two as president. During my tenure, the role of the Friends shifted from programming to fundraising, and I was able to apply my marketing and public relations expertise to fundraising initiatives. In this new capacity, the board raised over $120,000 from 1999 to 2006. The funds permitted the library director to purchase crucial materials required for state accreditation. Additionally, I worked on first-time ever membership drives that increased annual participation from 40 to 400 members.
Ryan a candidate for library trustee
Donna M. ryan
As an active community volunteer, I have served Duxbury in a variety of positions including the DBMS-Rowing Parent Advisory Board, Duxbury Music Promoters, Duxbury PTA, Community Garden Club of Duxbury and St. Johns Vestry where I dealt with personnel and financial issues. I started my professional career working in banking with Bank of New England. After several years of funding large-scale capital leases, I moved into marketing and public relations with Regan Communications, American Red Cross, and Trinity Communications. Most recently, I taught at Pied Piper Preschool. I earned my B.A. from Simmons College. My passion is the library. I will be a strong library advo-
cate and will work to ensure the library receives town and state funding. I have demonstrated my commitment and effective leadership through seven years of service to the Friends. While on the board, I gained a working knowledge of the library and interfaced regularly with the library staff. This experience gives me a solid foundation to serve the library in a new capacity. Looking forward, I believe this an exciting time for our libraryimplementing the new Long Range Plan and meeting the ever-changing world of technology and ebooks. It would be an honor to be a library trustee. Please vote for me on March 26.

newcomers vie for Planning seat

THe MCCorMACK FIle
THe TUrCoTTe FIle
Two newcomers to town politics are competing for a seat on the Planning Board. Paul McCormack and Jennifer Turcotte are both hoping to be the next members of a board thats been at the center of some hot button issues in the last couple of years. Paul McCormack said he was motivated to run for office when he attended a few Zoning Board of Appeals hearings about the River Lane/ accessory building debate. During that time I saw the Planning Board, it was not their finest hour, McCormack said. McCormack and his family moved to Duxury in 1998 after a couple years of summering here. He said that the Planning Board needs a little bit of change. The board has become very entrenched in their thinking. Whether rightly or wrongly, the perception is that they antagonize developers to the point they dont work very well with them, he said. Things take way too long to get done. McCormack said that the citizens petition at this years Town Meeting that redefined an accessory structure wasnt perfect, but it represented a little bit of progress. Youve gotta have clarity. People just want the rules to apply to everyone and they want them to be fair, he said. Right now ... theres too much confusion, theres too much grounds for interpretations. Despite the fact that he disagreed with the Planning Boards handling of the River Lane situation, McCormack said he understands the tricky nature of balancing development with residents desire for a rural community. Its tough, I dont know what the answer is, to be honest, he said. He also said the Planning

Board has done a good job with wetlands protection issues. McCormack comes from a finance background, not land planning, but he believes he can help the Planning Board work better with developer and local businesses. I think weve got to be a little bit friendlier, he said. His opponent in the race, Jennifer Turcotte, does deal with land planning in her job as a civil engineer (although she does not have clients in Duxbury.) I think it was the right time in my life to start giving back to this community, said Turcotte. I do all sorts of land planning, presentations before planning boards, ZBAs ... so I know how all the boards tie together, she added. I think it gives me an advantage. Turcotte grew up in Duxbury and recently moved back with her family. She sees the need to preserve the towns rural character as the biggest challenge facing Duxbury. I think we need to be very careful about the use of the precious resources that we have left, she said. Duxbury is a very, very special town for a lot of reasons. I think we need to protect its character. She said that Duxbury has spent a lot of time creating its
subdivision and zoning rules. You dont see a lot of towns with rules as strict as Duxbury, she said. Those rules are there for a reason, to protect the character of Duxbury. Turcotte also touched on the accessory structures issue, saying that the bylaw is subject to interpretation and could use some clarity but warned that this is not something to be taken lightly. Its a very fine line, when you start interpreting the meaning of the words in the zoning bylaw that may or may not necessarily be there, she said. She said that the priority for the Planning Board moving forward will be the preservation of open space. Turcotte believes her experience will serve her well if elected. I listen with a very open mind, she said.

The three candidates for two spots on the Board of Library Trustees are touting their experience as well as their love of all things library. Brooke McDonough has been a member of the Friends of the Library three years as president and now wants to step into a new role as a trustee. Working with the staff and the other volunteers at the library gave me a sense of how important this resource is for the c o m m u n i t y, she said. I want to give back to that ... so it can continue to be an amazing resource. McDonough said her work with the Friends and the librarys incorporated board will help her contribute to the Board of Trustees. I have a strong relationship with the library staff and the director, she said. She said the two main challenges for the library are to keep up with emerging technology such as eBooks, and to advocate for more funding, pointing out the staff there has suffered cuts in recent years. Id like to see that come back as the economy comes back, she said. Donna Ryan also pointed to her experience with the
Election 2011
Friends and her work with the St. Johns Vestry essentially a board of trustees for the church. I love the library. Its my passion, she said. Ryan also pointed to eBook technology and the budget as the librarys main challenges. She also said shed like to see the outside of the library utilized a bit more moving forward, perhaps partnering with other town organizations to have a minimal budget impact. The library is an important resource, she said, pointing out that between 4-5,000 people use the Duxbury Free Library weekly. Its a community center ... I think the statistics tell the story. Elizabeth Sunny Steadman said she has been attending Board of Trustee meetings to educate herself on the process. I really want the job. Its really in my DNA, she said, noting that her mother was a library trustee and her sister is a librarian. Its just part of whats important to me ... particularly moving further into the digital age, how the Duxbury Free Library keeps pace. All the candidates agreed on the eBooks and budgeting issues. Steadman also pointed out that library use has gone up over the last 10 years, but the funding hasnt kept up. Steadman said the library also needs to continue tapping into the community for help. We need to leverage the
power in the volunteer community. I think weve only begun to do that, she said. She also feels she represents the needs of the librarys senior citizen patrons. I have that perspective, I see the big picture, she said.

y name is Brooke McDonough, and I am a candidate for library trustee. I have a long history of volunteering, promoting, and supporting library causes, and my deep commitment to the Duxbury Free Library will help ensure my value as a trustee. I was on the Friends of the Library Board from 2001-2007, and served as president of the Friends for three of those years. I was involved with many fundraising committees including the 1920s-themed Library Gala, as well as yearly membership campaigns, and other events that all helped to raise over $120,000 for the library. We were able to help support the librarys material budget by funding new books, movies, and CDs. We paid for programming in the childrens and young adult areas, and were able to fund the landscaping project that enhanced the library entrance. I worked closely with the library director as well as the library staff who provided me with valuable guidance and insight into the important needs of the library. Since 2009, I have been honored to serve as member of the Incorporated Board of the Duxbury Free Library, and have gained insight into the importance of that

I write regularly for The Boston Globe Career

I taught literature and composition courses at Quincy College, and I currently teach writing courses online at the university of Phoenix. Along with my work at the library, I have also been involved with various PTA abd DEF fundraisers. At Holy Family Church, I serve as a Eucharistic Minister and a religious education teacher. As trustee, if elected, I will continue to advocate for and support the library. This is an important time to be a library supporter. Library use is up 50 percent, but state funding and aid is down.

A Town Meetings messy but the best we have

his years Town Meeting was one of the most contentious and well-attended in years. Many of the votes left scores of residents unhappy and disappointed. Yet we hear some people saying theyll never attend Town Meeting again, or that the process is irrevocably broken or worse still, that Duxbury should consider moving to a representative town meeting or city council. That would be a major mistake. The disappointments and heated arguments arent a sign that Town Meeting is broken just the opposite. Its a sign that democracy, messy and chaotic as it is, is alive and well. Town Meeting isnt perfect. And this isnt to defend every action that happened at Town Meeting far from it. But a true open town meeting, where people freely debate controversial subjects, is bound to ruffle some feathers and even hurt some feelings. Letting disappointment with a few votes lead to a new governmental system with less direct participation is cutting off your nose to spite your face. For some context, Google some video of the British Parliament in action. There, rude and constant heckling isnt a rare occurrence its the norm. Even the prime minister has to deliver important speeches over interruptions and jeering. As Robin Williams once said, its like Congress with a two-drink minimum. And thats a governmental body that predates Town Meeting by hundreds of years. The point is, the passions on display at Town Meeting arent always going to result in polite conversation. Within reason, of course, its OK if things get a little heated. Thats whats bound to happen when intelligent, informed people are discussing issues they feel strongly about. Some may be disappointed with certain things that happened at Town Meeting. But lets look at the positives. Several major issues facing Duxbury were fully and vigorously debated. Hundreds of voters turned out, leading to one of the highest turnouts in years. As messy, inefficient, and chaotic as open Town Meeting can be, at least business is conducted out in the open for all to see. That kind of transparency is the ultimate check and balance. If something happens on Town Meeting floor that people arent happy with its all out in the open. Those things residents are upset about? They would have still happened at a representative town meeting or a town council. Political maneuvering has been a part of government since the first cavemen voted on whether Uggs cave met the zoning requirements of a residential compatibility district. Open town meeting is the best, if an imperfect, way for citizens to control what happens to their tax money. Its ugly, rough and messy and we wouldnt change it for the world. J. Graeber
t Town Meeting on Monday evening, I spoke on an article as an involved and informed residents, but was then publicly and concerningly accused of lying by the chairperson of the towns powerful Community Preservation Committee. Hopefully, attendees saw it for what it was. Specifically, I and others, spoke factually in opposition to article 24, the CPC proposal to use $3-plus million of taxpayers money for the purchase of more boating/waterfront property, and especially where the town already has the water access rights. I primarily contend-
Town Meeting input risky and unrewarding

ed there are other higher priority current and future needs and uses for those significant taxpayer funds. The chairperson, obviously upset over and not agreeing with the opposing opinions, retook the podium and stated, without merit or substance, that my statements were false and misrepresenting the facts (i.e. I was lying). This personal attack, on the floor of Town Meeting, merely because someone differs with the party line of the CPC and other influential town boards and committees. That persons comments and personal affront were unprofessional, childish and to-
tally out of order in that meeting, or any meeting. Yet, it was allowed to stand until I had to personally respond to that disturbing conduct. That chairpersons embarrassing behavior did a disservice to the warranted demeanor of Town Meeting, and has likely intimidated many future resident speakers from participating. It also reflects very poorly on the committee she represents. Apparently, my expectations are too high. Time for changes. Jim Sullivan, Jr. Tremont Street
he legitimacy of the reconsideration vote at Town Meeting on the acquisition of Blairhaven has to be judged, not in the abstract, but in the entire context of when and how that vote was taken. If in fact the applicable bylaw provisions and rules allowed that motion to be made by one initially on the losing side of article 24, and the vote to be taken when and in the manner it was, those rules are clearly inadequate to assure fundamental fairness and must be substantially rewritten before the next Town Meeting. From its untimely beginning to its very rapid end, the entire reconsideration process was unfair and underhanded. The original vote followed long, serious and enlightened debate. Contrast that with the fact that no discussion whatsoever was
Reconsideration needs reconsideration
allowed on either the motion to reconsider, or before the revote was taken on article 24 itself. The unprecedented use of police officers to lock the doors to an ongoing Town Meeting, only during the reconsideration process, was outrageous and clearly unconstitutional; no amount of spinning will change that. Further, the present pleas of justification, based on claims that in the future the opponents of Blairhaven will come to appreciate the towns ultimate plans for the use of that property, completely miss the point. The end does not justify the means. As to the future, all Duxbury citizens, both those in favor and those opposed to the acquisition of Blairhaven, should demand elimination of, or at least significant reform and tightening of the entire
reconsideration process in order to prevent a reoccurrence of such a denial of the citizens right to vote. From beginning to end, the reconsideration process made a mockery of Town Meeting government. As to the present, in my view the reconsideration vote process, as used to acquire Blairhaven, constituted a clear deprivation of due process. The revote was unconstitutional and will not stand if challenged in a court of law. The irony, therefore, is that the very means employed to acquire Blairhaven in the best interest of the town have damaged Town Meeting, caused many citizens to criticize town officials, and possibly put the legality of that pending purchase at risk. Paul J. Driscoll Crescent Street
ou know when you see something that seems legitimate, but you just have that nagging feeling that things are not as they seem. Was it, technically, okay, for Ms. McNab, a known supporter of the Blairhaven CPC proposal, to move to reconsider the original vote which had rejected the project? Yes, technically. Was it a parliamentary procedure that was a distortion of the purpose of the reconsideration motion, because of who was allowed to make it? Yes. Was it, technically, allowable, for someone to immediately move the previous question, to disallow further discussion? Yes. Was that another clever and disingenuous parliamentary maneuver? Yes. Was it, technically, permissible, for the moderator to close the hall during voting so that counters could accurately count votes? Yes. Was it a move
Officials had their way over voters objections
which made voters, trying to enter, feel disenfranchised and called into question the motives of the parties involved? Absolutely yes! Blairhaven obviously was a big deal that town officials were counting on. They were sure they could push it through, even without any detailed plan, because the people would trust them, especially folks who were conservationists and those that didnt want their tax dollars to go toward families with school children. (Their words, not mine.) I was willing to vote for it. However, I, like others, wanted to see that detailed proposal and considered voting for it in the fall at a special Town Meeting, once a plan was developed. Town officials, you asked for trust. But you have had your way over the objections of voters, who already have had reasons to be angry at government, banks and corpora-
tions that ruined this economy and cost people their jobs and homes. You pre-judged these very same voters and accused them of caring only about one issue. Yet, they are the ones that helped approve the fire and police station articles and returned the next session, staying to hear your Blairhaven proposal. With vague promises of passive recreational use, they were supposed to take your word, based on prior history. Well, trust is running really low right now. You say you want people to become involved in town government and annual Town Meeting. This was not the way to encourage local voter participation. In fact, after this, democracy, itself, seems downright ugly! However, you may have gotten your wish. Hopefully, you motivated some to run against you at re-election time. Linda L.

y husband Pat and I moved to Duxbury 23 years ago for not only the beauty of the town but mostly for the school system. Our youngest, a senior at DHS, will be graduating in June. As the community of Duxbury has resisted commercial development to preserve the character of our town, the tax burden to educate our students rests chiefly with our residents. I firmly believe that Duxbury values education. Our parents not only volunteer their time but also contribute greatly through our PTAs, PTO, and various booster groups. The Duxbury Education Foundation through donations also makes innovative grants available to our school system. Parents donate school supplies for their children to use in their classrooms. We also have bus, athletic, and co-curricular fees. In these lean economic times, which could go on for a very long time, we have tried to be as cost efficient as possible.
Education world has changed since schools built Town Meeting is broken
However, despite your tremendous support, because of our building inadequacies at both DMS and DHS, our education is at a crossroads. Both Duxbury Middle School and Duxbury High School not only have deteriorating physical conditions, but no longer are educationally appropriate and in my opinion are dysfunctional for our students. The world has changed since the 1960s when these schools were built and so has education. As technology continues to explode, our students and teachers need the proper infrastructure to not only access the learning tools of today, but to prepare our students for the colleges and careers of tomorrow. I along with the rest of the School Committee and the School Building Committee strongly support the co-located school building project in the long term as being the most cost effective educationally appropriate way to address the education of our students in
grades 6 through 12. As you are considering all the facts in order to make an informed decision at the polls, I would ask you to consult the school Web site at www.duxbury.k12.ma.us, or to call any of the School Committee members, including myself (names and telephone numbers are posted on the school Web site) with any questions. Although we are in dismal economic times and we primarily rely on a residential tax base, we are still responsible to make sure that our children receive an appropriate up to date education so that they will be able to make their way in this ever-changing world. Under the leadership of our new Superintendent, Dr. Tantillo, we are moving in a positive direction, however, we need the facilities and tools to continue moving forward. It may be a clich, but the children are our future. Maureen Connolly School Committee Bowspirit Lane
he recent Town Meeting offered further proof that this form of governing is broken and should be replaced. The meetings have devolved into contentious gatherings peopled by many first-andonly attendees that seem to depend at times more on lung power than reasoned debate. Unfortunately, our town moderator had neither the gravitas of his predecessors nor knowledge of procedure to properly conduct affairs. He simply seemed at times bewildered by the unfolding events. The coup de grace for the
week was delivered by Amy McNab gaming the system by over turning an earlier majority vote. That fact that the rules of the road permitted this maneuver (as misused as it has been in our town over the years) does not excuse what was an arrogant move by one who believes only she knows how matters should be decided. Lets restore sanity and civility to our affairs and find a new way to do business. John Britten Upland Road
Something to think about on school buildings

What if... ... It actually cost more (significantly more) to build a new co-located school, than repair, renovate, or build one at a time? ... Renovating cost less because we emptied DMS and could do the work faster? (Costs were estimated at the mid-point of construction, faster means less expensive, and reduces the cost of General Conditions which is the cost to keep a contractor active on site.) ... We knew how much those portable classrooms cost? (Is the cost significant enough when we are talking millions of dollars? They are actually very attractive, check them out online.) ... The MSBA wont reimburse Duxbury to build the same spaces we currently have (existing 3 gyms vs. one proposed at DMS, or the 12,000 square feet less of gym space they propose for DHS; or the 10,610 sf less of art and music space they propose? (A cost/sf calculation puts the art/music space at an additional $4.2 million, plus more money for the gym.) ... We calculate the cost to repair, or renovate, using reimbursement rates from the state at 35 percent for repair (Duxburys base rate), or 40 percent for renovation (up to five percent)? (Repair DMS $28.8, DHS $39.4; less reimbursement DMS $18.7, DHS $25.6; Renovation DMS $46.8, DHS $71.5; less reimbursement DMS $28.1, DHS $42; all in millions. These costs do include ADA and fire sprinklers; and renovation also includes a complete gut renovation of the science, technology, and srt areas.) ... We decided to do Duxburys traditional financing of 20 years with level principal payments for the co-located school, and saved $16.5 million in interest? (At Town Meeting, the total cost principal plus interest of each of the major projects was revealed. Crematory $3.4, fire $4.9, police $9.2; all in millions, and schools
$125,248,000.) ... It cost less to build DMS and DHS separately? ... Building the co-located school doesnt improve traffic flow, but makes it worse? (This seems likely seeing that traffic cant go behind the building.) ... The systems and space savings of the co-located school were negligible? (What were the cost savings? Lets not forget, it was minimal for the fire and police building.) ... The cost to build just a new DHS didnt have the cost of a field house as well? (We could have compared apples to apples.) ... It would be more flexible to keep DMS and DHS separate? (Future class sizes are diminishing, and at the end of their useful life, managing two small buildings may be easier, and more cost efficient than one big one.) ... We just cant afford it? Colleen Brayer Tobey Garden Street
ast Monday night I sat for over 2 1/2 hours with my wife and my nearly 90 year old mother listening to various thought provoking arguments for and against the Blairhaven Project. Finally article 24 came to a vote. As the votes were being counted, although I was against the purchase of Blairhaven, I had accepted the possibility that the article would pass, and was all right with the outcome. We had presented our side of the argument, the opposition had done the same, and the voters present would have the opportunity to settle the debate in favor of the proposal with the required 2/3rds majority. Which they did not. So, surprisingly, Article 24 did not pass. Like a number of others, I then took my nearly 90 year old mother home to finally eat dinner. We did not leave feeling like we had won the Super Bowl or the World Series. We were actually thinking that now the CPC could go about the process of buying Blairhaven
Revote made fools of voters
in a more responsible manner, by actually developing a plan for the project before the purchase, rather than purchase first and plan later. Wow, what a bunch of trusting fools we citizens of Duxbury turned out to be. Apparently, it was the World Series and the Super Bowl rolled into one big too important to lose event for too many of our esteemed political leaders in Duxbury. Our leaders would simply wait for some time to pass and then call for a revote (however incorrectly initiated) after hundreds had left the meeting, lock the doors so voters could not return to the meeting, openly (and oddly) celebrate their cleverness for overturning an honestly contested vote, and all the while miss the fact that they were making a mockery of our democratic process. What a sad state of affairs for Duxbury Diogenes must be rolling over in his grave. Richard Johnson Goose Point Lane
Dont be penny wise, pound foolish on schools

ask that we please not be penny wise and pound foolish when it comes to our schools and the education of Duxbury children. Vote YES on question 3 so we dont end up spending even more money down the road as residents in both Plymouth and Hanover unfortunately had to endure. In 2003, Plymouth citizens rejected a $46 million proposal to rebuild one of their high schools (very similar to DHS, built 1963, 155k sq. feet) and walked away from a 70 percent reimbursement rate. As Silver Lake High School scooped up these state dollars, the Plymouth schools sunk further into disrepair. For the next five years, the town squabbled over which school needed more attention, which to renovate first, the high
school moved into accreditation warning and the state rejected their follow up proposal in 2008. Finally, in 2009 they were approved by the state for reimbursement, but at only 58 percent. Ten years after the first rejection, the schools will finally be open for the class of 2013, at a higher cost to all. Lets not let this happen in Duxbury. In Hanover, voters rejected the tax increase for rebuilding the Hanover High School by 18 votes in 2001. It was raised again with over 60 percent reimbursement and rejected. After much deliberation about renovation vs. rebuilding, a rebuild on the High School was finally approved in 2008 because it cost less and caused less disruption. But the reimbursement rate was lower at 48 percent. Hanover High School
students will be educated in the 21st century beginning fall 2011. Looking back, residents refer to those 18 votes as the 18 million dollar votes because they cost the town $18mm. Rejection now does not mean lower rates in the future. It guarantees losing our place in line and a lower reimbursement rate. Lets not let this happen to Duxbury. Vote yes on Question 3. Vote yes to 43 percent reimbursement now. Vote yes to an 11 percent tax increase now vs a bigger one later. Vote yes to favorable construction and bond rates now. Vote yes to our childrens education. Get out and vote yes for schools. Kellie Bresnehan Pine Lake Road
he passion that Duxbury citizens have for this town is remarkable. Its why so many, like myself, who were raised here have returned with our families. That passion is clearly a driving force for our town boards as well, and I commend those who volunteer their time in the pursuit of making Duxbury wonderful. Spirited discussions, and opinions are part of the process. Town Meeting
Article 33 will bring clarity
showed that. I thank the many citizens, including the members of the planning board who participated in the spirited debate about accessory structures. While article 33 passed, returning clarity to the bylaw, the debate will continue, which it should, to improve the bylaws again and again for the good of the town. Jessica Williams Tremont Street
eres a suggestion. Pass a new by-law concerning Town Meeting that states that no discussion nor voting will occur after 9:30 p.m. on weeknight meetings. As the rules now allow, older taxpaying citizens and young families have a great deal of difficulty remaining at meetings as the hours get later. Now that would be a fair change. And another suggestion for the Blairhaven property use: CPA can let three families purchase and use the property as affordable housing. For example, encourage families of town workers that cant afford

Running for her son

n April 18, I will be running my fifth Boston Marathon to raise money for Childrens Hospital in Boston. My son, Matthew, is followed closely by Childrens and I cant say enough about the excellent care he has received. Childrens Hospital serves a wide variety of needs from routine tests to more complicated medical issues. Every day, there are esearch shows school facilities and property values are linked. Dont throw away a chance to get a 43.5 percent state reimbursement on the building of new schools without carefully considering where your vote puts you in terms of your property values. The reimbursement for new schools is approved for this vote. Should the vote fail, the process starts over. The study The Value of School Facilities: Evidence from a Dynamic Regression Discontinuity Design states, Passing a referendum causes immediate, sizable increases in home prices and We find that passage of a bond leads housing prices in the district to rise by approximately three percentage points immediately, rising to about twice that within

Facts show good schools have value

three years. This effect appears to last for at least a decade. By just approving the school building project, Duxbury homeowners should see an immediate positive impact on housing values. For a median assessed home of $481,000, that 3 percent increase in value translates to $14,430, and three years later to $28,000 ... compared to an increase in taxes to help pay for the new school of $733 per year for that same median home. If you vote yes, you will receive much more than the cost of the tax increase in your home value, should you try to sell it anytime in the next 10 years. Not only will building a new school positively affect our property values, it will attract new buying interest to our town, at a time when many
patients there who face lifethreatening illnesses. The doctors and nurses work hard to provide the absolute best care and treatment.

communities surrounding Duxbury have recently upgraded or built new schools. I am told by a longtime Duxbury realtor, Buyers value communities who value education. Our homes are one of our biggest investments. For those residents who may currently have homes on the market, or may be thinking of selling or downsizing in the next few years, this information is compelling in making a decision of how to vote. For those who value education, it is just one more reason to vote yes, and add to the quality of life and value of our town. This Saturday vote yes on question 3, to begin the design stage of these much-needed new schools. Mary Lynn Carson Washington Street
have a question about the election process in Duxbury. Why are the CPC projects excluded from the Town Election ballot? Many people are unable to attend Town Meeting only to have 3 percent of their tax bill decided late on Monday evening after a full day of work, child care, etc. Many of us who attended Monday evening were shocked with the demeanor of those who spoke from the front
Questions from Town Meeting
or the first time since we moved to Duxbury eight years ago, I was able to attend part of the afternoon session of our Town Meeting on Saturday, March 12. Having come from Princeton where we had ballot voting, the idea of witnessing a Town Meeting seemed exciting. To be a part of the process, the thought of listening to debate and then voting on the articles seemed to be, not only important, but a civic duty. I came away from Saturdays meeting feeling that something is terribly wrong with our system. It is not a polite forum. It lacked civility. It is broken. My heart sunk as I heard people heckled as they voiced their opinions at microphones. People were judged by how they voted. Some of our fellow citizens are afraid to speak up for fear of repercussions. Not all people are able to attend the Town Meeting so their voices are not heard. This is supposed to be a democratic process. Town meetings were cre-
Disturbed by lack of civility
of the room. Being a volunteer does not give anyone the right to accuse another of lying or spreading misinformation. I speak as a former professional volunteer coordinator in a city of 145,000 people. Maybe we need to train town volunteers as to how to conduct themselves in representing the people they serve. It would help also if the rules of process and conduct were to be printed on the front
of the Town Meeting agenda. What happened to civility and respect in Duxbury? Would it be possible to have hand-held microphones available so those who are unable to jump up to speak could raise a hand and have the opportunity to speak from the center a row? Not everyone is young and agile. Sue Coombs Mayflower Avenue
uch has been made about the future cost of the proposed school reconstruction. After all, were going to get 43 percent reimbursement from the Commonwealth, its only less that $1,000 more on your tax bill for the next 25 years and Its what we require to provide a quality education for our youth to prepare them for the 21st century? All this begs two ques-
Think long term on schools
ated over 350 years ago when there were fewer people and they stayed close to home. But in the 18th century, mothers were not working. People did not travel as they do now. The breadwinners did not have long commutes. Town meetings may be outdated. We have a responsibility to hear different voices without humiliating our neighbor. Our goal should be to conduct ourselves and public forums with compassion, cooperation and dignity. Honesty,
fair play and tolerance are values on which the success of our community depends. Let us be an example to our children and let our town be defined by an exemplary and honorable process. If we are not able to rise to the challenge, perhaps it is time to look at alternatives to the Town Meeting and embrace a ballot system. Cynthia Reed Standish Street
fter a town meeting marked with controversy and frankly bad manners, there were rumblings that the town has outgrown direct Town Meeting in favor of representational meetings. Before we throw the baby out with the bathwater, we can improve this uniquely democratic institution. 1) Display a rolling, real-time toCOMMEnTARy tal of how much each article adds to the homeowners tax bill. The Financial and Fiscal Advisory committees made excellent presentations but we need to hear the cha-ching. 2) Reserve a section or the cafeteria for non-registered voters, including children. Especially when a voice vote is called on a controversial issue, non-registered voters shouldnt be heard. Past Town Meetings reserved sections just for children and visitors and it worked well. 3) If your child throws up, clean it up. If your child is ill, be a good parent and stay home. A crying child prevents people from hearing the discussion. Town Meeting is a great way for youngsters to learn about democracy in action, but not if they are fussy and tired. 4) Speaking in tongues or accents probably wont advance your cause. 5) Personal attacks usually backfire. Generally, town meetings are sympathetic to the underdog. 6) If you care enough to sit through town meeting, you deserve to be rewarded. Perhaps $100 of your tax bill for every 10 hours. 7) Its difficult to get an accurate tally when voters had to stand in the cafeteria, some for hours. They deserve chairs. 8) Not many speakers knew there was a five-minute limit. It can be hard to stop. Lets have a 30-second warning. If the folks at the Oscars can limit speeches, we can do it here. 9) Keep formal presentations to less than 15 minutes. The brain can absorb only so many facts, factoids and fictions. 10) Remember death by PowerPoint is real and painful. More than seven words on the screen look like ants, from the balcony. 11) The Clippers blog was informative, but it also led to the swarming of special interest groups. What about a 15-minute delay? 12) Town Meeting is not an Ironman Triathlon. Lets agree when it will end, announce it frequently, tweet it, blog it, post it, and stick to it. 13) Lets reconsider reconsideration. Its being abused. Is it our fate to spiral repeatedly as we vote to limit discussion, on the article, on reconsideration, to limit discussion on reconsideration, and finally on reconsideration? Even cows chew their cud only four times. 14) Finally, timing is everything. It seems that the timing of the elections actually thwarts the democratic process. The ballot for town elections is printed even before we vote whether to add questions to it. Thus, we were discouraged from making motions on these articles because it would confuse the voters. Also, by putting a controversial question on the ballot before it has been approved by Town Meeting, the issue is given a second chance to be approved. Hold elections later. Its a beautiful thing when citizens speak with eloquence, intelligence and passion. Let us honor this truest form of democracy.

School Building group grateful for support

n behalf of the School Building Committee (SBC), I want to thank Town Meeting for the overwhelming support of article 18, a request for $2.9 million for the schematic design of a new middle and high school. In over 20 recent presentations, we have presented the facts and answered questions about the school building project. It is important to us as a committee that voters have the facts when they go to the polls on March 26 to vote on Question 3. We encourage voters to visit duxbury.k12.ma.us and massschoolbuildings.org for more information. We will also be available at Foodies on Friday, March 25 from 10 a.m. to noon to answer questions. The MSBA has requested that questions regarding their policies
and processes be submitted in writing through the superintendents office to ensure accuracy and consistency. Late last week, the SBC received a letter from a citizen a member of a town committee who has suggested that the SBC does not wish for the public to have complete and accurate information. As chairman of SBC, I know this to be wholly untrue. We stand by the information presented to the town and we continue to answer each and every question about the school building project. We are grateful for the support of the School Committee, Board of Selectmen, Finance Committee, Fiscal Advisory Committee and Town Building Committee, all of which took the time to get the facts, ask reasonable questions and draw their own conclusions. The
voters have two opportunities to approve this project, now for schematic design and in the near future for final design and construction costs. Question 3 on the ballot gives residents a choice: approve the funding for schematic design of a new, colocated middle school and high school, the most cost-effective, educationally sound solution to address the problems of our existing middle school and high school with maximum reimbursement from the MSBA and the least disruption to education. This is the choice that is based on fact. This is the choice that makes the best use of our tax dollars. This is the choice that is in the best interests of our community. Elizabeth Lewis, P.E. Chairwoman, School Building Committee
Democracys finest hour indeed

lthough I wasnt able to attend this years town meeting due to out-of-town commitments, I followed the proceedings closely online and by phone with people who were there. I was one of those concerned with the cost of the new school. Certainly one must be pro-education in times when our scholastic standings in the world are slipping. But we also live in times where one in five American workers are unemployed or underemployed, and foreclosure rates are still reaching records. Please give us our due. Is it so wrong to ask the question: which parts of this very large price tag may be an indulgence? Those of us who struggle with paying our everrising taxes must ask the question. And with ever-expanding budgets in towns, cities, states, and horrific deficits in almost every country in the Western world, is it not an appropriate check and balance to carefully scrutinize costs? Im not sure that has been done. The renovation option seems to have been too hastily
dismissed, and just like the last large school building price tag, the notion is introduced that we must hastily approve the price tag as presented because it is a fast-disappearing opportunity. Please dont dismiss us as not caring about children or education! I would rather see government in general stripped of all duty save roads, defense, education and health care, then add services back in when we feel we can actually pay for them instead of borrowing money from China. But when I hear of notions like hybrid bonds, paying interest only for the first half of the bond term to keep tax increases down, I lose faith in the fiscal prudence of the entire project. Such bubblenomics has already wrecked our economy. Let us step back, slow down, face the true cost head on, and give due diligence as to what needs are most important and affordable, and leave the wish list for less troubled times. Too often these days, the void between need and want is filled by higher taxes and more debt. As for Blairhaven, I come
down on both sides. True, it is a bit nutty to spend a bunch of money on an unfocused project, again with the vague notion that the opportunity will disappear. On the other hand, with all our splendor of waterfront area on the bay, very little of it is accessible to the public. With the Snug Harbor area dominated by DYC and DBMS, it probably is the last opportunity to create public access to the bay. And as for the notion that the Blairhaven vote wasnt democracys finest hour, I disagree. The motion to reconsider has long been a part of Town Meeting and was used previously several times in this same Town Meeting. Sometimes it is even used preemptively to seal a victory. Perhaps its finest and best purpose is to discourage single-issue voters from fleeing the building after their article is done. Yes, the Town Meeting is a grind for those of us who usually attend all or most of it. But the format, with all its blemishes, really is democracys finest hour. Doug Friesen West Street
DuxburyCARES says thanks

uxburyCARES wants to thank the community for the outpouring of support for the school building project. The vote at Town Meeting was terrific but a strong showing at the ballot box is essential for the model, co-located middle and high school to become a reality. As part of our efforts to raise awareness about the proposed school building project, a team of volunteers created the
ll in all, the recently completed Duxbury Town Meeting was a success. Id like to share a couple thoughts about the purchase of the Blairhaven property in particular and also about the general demeanor of Town Meeting. Having seen the many letters in the Duxbury Clipper I realize that Im taking a somewhat different view than many of my neighbors. Regarding Blairhaven, I strongly supported the purchase by the town. I appreciate that many residents felt strongly that the town should not purchase Blairhaven. Town Meeting is over. Some folks are happy; some are not. For those who oppose the purchase of Blairhaven, I ask you to consider couple of things. First, throughout Monday evening a large majority of participants at Town Meeting strongly supported the purchase. Secondly, all participants used the rules as best they could to their advantage. And all participants played by the rules. Motions to reconsider often occur at Duxbury Town Meeting. Such a motion is clearly within rules and a common practice in our town. Similarly, it is within the rules to recruit a large number of citizens to appear at Town Meeting to vote on a single issue and to then go home. A number of letter writers have expressed concern about the demeanor of many residents. At times throughout Town Meeting the hall was noisy. Applause was frequent. Some jeered some of the speakers. Some speak-
Town Meeting was good
ers made uncomplimentary remarks towards their neighbors. I am untroubled by this. Town Meeting is the legislative body of the town of Duxbury. Legislation is often a messy process. People participate because theyre passionate about the community and have strongly held views as to what is best for the community. It is rarely a neat and orderly process. I believe we have a far better result with 500 to 1000 passionate, rowdy, vocal, and occasionally over the top, citizens listening to the arguments and engaging in the debate. It is an interesting and healthy democratic process. The more common Duxbury Town Meeting has a hundred people listening politely to each and voting the towns future. I participate in those meetings and often wonder what our neighbors think about our choices. Its much better to have the neighbors in the room voting their position. There were five or six votes at this years town meeting in which I was in the minority. I didnt like it. I thought the majority made mistakes. I understand that when Town Meeting finally voted to purchase Blairhaven, those who were in the minority were not happy about it. I encourage all to return next year. For most votes, we will be in unanimous agreement. Some votes will split the town. I expect Ill agree with you on some of those splits and we can disagree on others. See you next year. Mark Mahoney Marshall Street
FROM THE ARCHIVES

wenty years ago in 1991, the Town Meeting claimed a packed house, possibly a record crowd, according to town clerk, Nancy Oates, as 822 voters filled the Duxbury Intermediate School gymnasium. The hottest issue at that meeting was a request by the school committee to increase the school budget with a transferring of funds from the towns free cash fund. The article was defeated, and the school budget was then awaiting the vote at the next town election on a Proposition 2 1/2 override.
wooden red hearts you see in lawns around Duxbury. Were very sad that many of these signs have gone missing from the homes of supporters of the school building project. Much hard work went into making these hand-made heart signs and we just ask that if you come across any of them, please return them; no questions asked. Jen Klein, Temple Street Karen Wong, Meeting House Road
majority of you, on Wednesday evening, voted to pass Article 31, establishing Local Historic Districts. This is a major step toward maintaining the character of this historic town. Robert (Terry) Vose Member of the Local Historic District Study Committee

Q&A: Planning Board
Absentee ballots for the town election
Election 2011
PAUL MCCORMACK: The Planning Board has to deal with many issues. Recently, the issue of accessory structures and double density has become a hot button issue. I supported article 33, the Citizens Petition, which attempted to clarify the use of accessory structures and passed at Town Meeting. There is some fear that this article might have increased the chances of an accessory structure being used as a second dwelling. The article clearly states that an accessory structure can not be used as a dwelling unit. For all practical purposes, this prohibits the installation of a stove. Many would say that this is not enough, a hot plate and portable microwave, could be used to get around the stove restriction. True and if the accessory structure was then used as a permanent residence, the owners would be violating the towns bylaws. Is this currently being done? I am sure it is in a limited number of instances and I do not have any magic way to enforce these bylaws. If the town truly wants to ensure that no accessory structure will be used as a dwelling unit, the town will have to ban plumbing in any accessory structure. Unfortunately, while all dwelling units require plumbing, not all plumbing in an accessory structure make it a dwelling unit. There is close to a zero chance that the town would ever ban all plumbing in accessory structures and I would not support such a bylaw change. While I do not feel that the Town is going to see a huge increase in accessory structures being constructed and illegally used as permanent residences, clearly the Planning Board should monitor building permit applications and propose changes to the bylaws if the current bylaws are being flaunted.

ELIZABETH SUNNY STEADMAN: As spring follows winter, readers follow where writers lead. There will always be books. Of that I am certain. Spring was introduced Saturday night by the Worm Moon, so called, the Old Farmers Almanac tells us, because as the temperature begins to warm and the ground begins to thaw, earthworm casts appear, heralding the return of the robins. Speaking of birds, on Sunday, I played a round of miniature golf at Birdie for Books, a fund-raising event put on by the Friends of the Duxbury Library, where I met moms, dads and children digital natives all. EBooks have already changed our reading lives. David H. Rothman, in an article appearing in the Chronicle of Higher Education March 4, calls for the creation of a national digital library. (Check out librarycity.org.) Because digital libraries support a culture of reading he says we need to get on board. I agree, but how? And how do we pay for it? While publishers are busily producing e-titles and requiring libraries to purchase licenses, libraries are not keeping up with the demand, according to David Slater, OCLN Executive Director. Of course it is not a question of either/or, books/bytes, but of determining how best to meet readers needs. I see it as an opportunity for the Duxbury Free Library to lead. Just as we inspired others in the network by building a new library, we can show the way to developing and maintaining digital collections that will enable the OCLN to meet the demand for eBooks. The DFL has already evolved in becoming a commons. Now it is time to evolve further technologically. I suggest the following steps: Expand the collection development policy to encompass digital collections for library and school systems. Adjust the allocation of funds for buying books and buying licenses as needed. Think long term. Work with the OCLN and eBook publishers to create licensing agreements that foster access to knowledge in digital form. In the 1960s Marshall Herbert McLuhan wrote The new electronic interdependence re-creates the world in the image of a global village. Everyone is invited to the digital world. Duxbury residents can learn how to access our digital library with a little tutoring. It is not currently possible to read an eBook at a library PC. However, upon downloading the Adobe Editions software, users can bring eBooks to their iPads, Kindles, Kobos, iPhones or home computers. The DFL can make it happen! There will always be books. Technology broadens their definition and makes the experience of reading more social as eBooks provide opportunities to Tweet, Blog and interact online. Nonetheless, I believe no matter the number of virtual communities we create, there will always be the real and present. It is spring, time to grow and evolve. As a trustee I will do all I can to foster Duxburys reading future.
Q&A: Library Trustees

This weeks question: One of the most interesting challenges facing municipal libraries today is that technology is changing, and reading habits along with it. How do you feel the Duxbury Free Library is keeping up with things like eBooks? How should new technologies affect the librarys focus moving forward? BROOKE MCDONOUGH: The next few years will be interesting for libraries. Technology is changing rapidly, and libraries are challenging themselves with a new role in their communities by taking the lead in keeping up whats new, and helping patrons incorporate that into their lives. Libraries have morphed into tech-savvy organizations providing many platforms for facilitating information. Our library does this well. The librarians at the Duxbury Free Library are well versed in current technology and the vast amount of Internet resources available. The library building itself is a free wireless hotspotwhere patrons connect readily to the Internet. The librarians are available to offer instruction in Internet, e-mail, eBooks, and the carefully selected databases the library has acquired. Our librarians even take advantage of social media by connecting with patrons through Facebook postings. Additionally, eReaders are available in the library for patrons to test drive. EBooks can be downloaded from the Web site through the librarys Overdrive subscription. Even before the booming popularity of eBooks, our library was quick to offer other formats for reading: CDs, audio books you can download to your IPod, and even preloaded MP3 players you can check out of the library. The latest buzzword is transliteracy, which means being able to read and write in many different platforms, from pen and ink to multi-media formats. Transliteracy will be expected of future generations, and with the right support from the Trustees, the talented staff at the Duxbury Free Library is poised to lead us in this direction. The challenge now is that the eBook world is still in its infancy, with publishing companies scrambling to figure out how to navigate through it all. Publishing giant HarperCollins recently announced that each library-purchased eBook would be available for only 26 uses, which makes it an expensive option. (Some paper books are available for life.) Libraries are protesting. Its uncertain whether other publishers will follow suit. What is certain is that the process is still evolving. Trustees and librarians have to position themselves wisely during this time to understand how to best serve patrons. Our library will have to manage a delicate balance between providing the newest technology right away to patrons, and waiting to see what the next version will be. Whats cutting edge today will be obsolete next year in this ever-changing digital revolution. The library director and trustees will have to plan carefully and budget for whats on the horizon as much as for whats available today. As library trustee, if elected, I will support policies that will help the library staff continue to be a strong technological resource, and I will work toward informing the public and local officials about the benefits of the Duxbury Free Library in the digital age. Book arena are complex and undefined. Much like the music industry, the publishing industry is struggling to define a profitable business model in this digital age. Traditional paper books are purchased once, and are then loaned from reader to reader. However, publishers are moving towards limiting the lifespan of electronic books. For example, HarperCollins took a hard line by announcing that it would restrict its eBook licenses so that they would expire after 26 uses; so after the eBook has been loaned 26 times, its license would expire. This limitation of licensing use is expensive for libraries and their networks. This is an important time for our library. New technology will require our library to adjust and be proactive in this dynamic environment. Technology will be an integral part of the new long range plan. Navigating the future will require creativity and careful planning. Less definite is where to stand on the divide between the traditional book format and e-Books. If elected, I will ensure the library remains on course to meet its strategic goals and continues to be an invaluable town resource. Please visit my Web site at donnaforlibrarytrustee. info. It would be an honor to be a Library Trustee. Please vote for me on March 26.
Election 2011
DONNA RYAN: For years the Duxbury Free Library has been at the forefront of incorporating technology in the library. But the pace of technological change is so rapid, all libraries are facing challenging times with the publishing industry and e-Books. Our librarians are working to meet todays patrons technological needs while trying to determine a path for what the future might bring. In fact, the technology available at the library is pretty impressive. The library provides remote online access to multiple research databases including heath, travel, and consumer information. A librarian is available through instant messaging to provide research assistance online. It also provides access to an online language learning module Mango. Patrons can borrow materials through the librarys Web site. Facebook is used to promote events and new publications. Are you an avid reader and (like me) eying the trend toward e-books with a mixture of fascination and trepidation? Not to worry at the library you can tryout e-Readers. The Kindle, Sony, and Nook are available for you to explore. You can Book a Librarian for a tutorial on any e-Reader. This great service offers patrons the chance to reserve an hour to ask questions on the internet, email, IPad, or their own laptop. E-Books are available for download by patrons, and the library has books on CD, audio books, and pre-loaded MP3 players. However, just as quickly as we become comfortable with the status-quo, it changes. I recently asked Library Director Carol Jankowski How are you proceeding to purchase titles with this ever changing environment? She responded We are exercising caution. We are investing finite dollars we are dipping our toes in to test the waters. The challenges facing the library in the e-

Becoming a more green community

our initial reaction to the headline might well be that Duxbury already is a green community. Blessed with verdant, tree-covered properties and open spaces we are, literally speaking, a green community. The green community Im writing about is different. It is a designation by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts that encourages towns such as ours to become more energy efficient or to invest in renewable energy projects, by providing both planning assistance and access to financial grants. To get the Green Community designation, however, a municipality needs to meet four criteria: as-of-right sighting, expedited permitting, an energy baseline, and purchase of only fuel-efficient vehicles. Some of this may sound like gobbledy-gook, so let me explain. As-of-right sighting requires that a municipality provide a site for a proposed renewable or alternative energy generating, research and development or THinkinG GREEn manufacturing facility. That site shall not be unreasonably regulated nor shall it require a special permit. The kinds of renewable or alternative energy generation projects which qualify for the program are: On-shore wind turbines of 600 kilowatts (kW) or more Off-shore wind turbines of 2.5 megawatts (MW) or more Solar photovoltaic systems of not less than 250 kW Niomass (combined heat and power) systems of 5 MW or more in stand-alone buildings. Expedited permitting, meaning that the municipality must adopt expedited application and permitting processes for such projects, enabling them to be sited and approved within a year after the initial application date. Energy baseline/20 percent energy reduction plan means that the municipality has to establish a baseline of municipal energy use (including use in municipal buildings, vehicles and schools and street and traffic lighting, etc.) and then adopt a comprehensive program to reduce that. Baseline energy use by 20 percent within five years. Purchase only fuel efficient vehicles. The municipality must purchase for its use (whenever commercially available and practicable) only fuel-efficient vehicles. A municipal vehicle inventory must be submitted and cars and pick-up trucks purchased thereafter have to meet established minimum MPG (miles per gallon) ratings. Minimize life cycle costs. This requirement applies only to new commercial and industrial construction or new residential construction of over 3,000 square feet. It stipulates that, to the extent feasible, the life-cycle cost of such buildings shall be minimized, using energy efficient, water conserving and other renewable or alternative energy technologies. This may require adopting additional building code requirements incorporated in what is known as the stretch code. These criteria are intended to help fund and expedite meaningful energy saving by precluding restrictive bylaws and special permitting procedures, sometimes used to thwart, water down or By building new schools, we will be providing our students with the best environment to learn, endlessly delay such projects and programs. It is heartening compete and prepare for their future. In addition, we will be providing our teachers the to learn that at least 53 opportunity to teach in an environment more conducive to creative, passionate methods not Massachusetts municipalities, restricted by outdated facilities; it will allow us to attract the best teachers and administrators, serious about reducing energy and retain the best we have. We should all vote to build schools we can be proud of, help produce consumption, have already gotten themselves designated as the best students we can, and continue to drive up the value of the town we all love to call home. Green Communities. Duxburys Alternative - Kurt Holloway, Duxbury father of three Energy Committee has been studying the possibilities of our town applying to becoming We have the opportunity to provide the children of Duxbury with a safe, modern learning a Green Community and environment.

The graduates of Duxbury have done well despite the obsolete buildings, but we can no longer dismiss the substandard conditions the children are learning in. Schools at all levels are adjusting teaching pedagogies and their campuses to the highly interactive and information rich world we live in now our kids do not learn like we did. New school construction is the most cost effective way to provide the flexible, interactive and technologically appropriate learning environment for generations to come.
- Matthew Ali, AIA

As a community, Duxbury has always had the foresight to push through difficult projects that will benefit the town; our state-of-the-art public library, a vibrant senior center, a nationally renowned sailing school, and the preservation of open space to name just a few. We have done so with patience, volunteerism, and commitment from the community. I view the school building project as another critical project essential to the future of our kids and our town. Doing nothing is not an option; moving forward on new schools is the right thing to do.

Lady Dragons defeat annual nemesis Fontbonne for their first state title
They knew they had the talent. All they needed to do was rid themselves of the specter of being eliminated by Fontbonne two years in a row. The way they came out in the first period eliminated that worry, and starting the second period it looked like they were ready to get down to serious business.

Despite dominating for most of the morning, the Lady Dragons still had to rely on a great individual effort by sophomore Hannah Murphy with 45 seconds left in regulation to beat the Ducks of Fontbonne 2-1, earning the teams first state title in the 10-year old program. The girls worked hard all year long and they were pumped for this game, said Coach Friend Weiler. There was a little extra energy out there and a little extra spring in our step because they had beaten us the last two years. They say the third time is the charm, and this was for all the marbles. Fontbonne has been a DII power for several years, led by senior Taylor Shepherd, who tried to show her gamebreaking potential right away, but was taken down by senior captain Keri Gould early in the first period, preventing a break-away. Shepherd is phenomenal and we knew if we could just

hold her to one goal or less we had a good chance of always being in the game, said Weiler. She snuck one in there as good players always do, but we were able to bounce back and that is why I am so proud of the girls. Momentum certainly swung their way, but we took it right back. The power play led to a series of shots on Duxbury freshman goaltender Rachel Myette, who was equal to the task in the biggest game of her hockey career and kept the game scoreless. But the pressure on the rookie continued, as her teammates could not stay out of the penalty box, giving the Ducks a two-man advantage on the second power play of the game with 7:53 left in the first period.
To not get scored on when we were shorthanded like that is a credit to the girls, said Weiler. They worked hard and when we weathered those I knew we would be alright. Exceptional penaltykilling by Murphy prevented Fontbonne from taking advantage, and it seemed to ignite her teammates, as Olivia McCarthy stole a pass inside the offensive zone and tested netminder Lan Crofton with a shot off the left wing. With time running out in the period, Briana Connolly tried to stuff a shot past Crofton, and as the buzzer sounded a Duxbury shot beat the Ducks netminder and was disallowed. Disappointed by their first period drought, the Lady
Dragons wasted little time in the middle period when Connolly came out of the corner to Croftons left and fired a shot that broke through her pads for a 1-0 lead just 39 seconds after the face off whistle. Less than a minute later, the Ducks had a chance to tie it when freshman Madison Devine beat the Duxbury defense to a loose puck, but couldnt get it by Myette. Seeing how difficult it would be to penetrate the Duxbury defense, Fontbonne kept sending the puck up ice hoping to free Shepherd. But their efforts almost backfired, as the Lady Dragons had a oneminute blitz in the Fontbonne end but still couldnt get one by Crofton.

the lyrics, even the Hawaiian. Nothing builds memories quite like performing for an audience. Ray Kelleys Snug Harbor Community Chorus might be just the ticket for you to return to the world of performing for others. The SHCC sings two major concerts per year one Christmas and one spring and requires no audition. It does require you to attend their open rehearsals, held in January and September, and a commitment to follow the additional rehearsal schedule up to performance time. You do not need to know how to read music, but you do need to love to sing together with others. Kelleys Kaleidoscope will hit the Duxbury Performing Arts Center Saturday, April 16. Tickets are $20, $12 for students and seniors, and $10 each for groups of 10 or more. The ticket price includes attendance at the show reception, where you can meet and greet Roy and the singers. Add some fun for yourself and dress to the teeth. Its not required, but why not relish the sparkle and glamour, all for $20? Understand this: Roy may not require an audition for his chorus, but he does require that your love of learning and singing be as strong and lively as he is. Three months of weekly Monday night rehearsals go into each concert. The open rehearsals (when you join up) are only at the beginning of each cycle. Youll need to show up next September to sing for next Christmas. The window for joining to sing in this coming April concert closed last January. It takes time for all who wish to learn and share music with others to pull together as a performing unit. But know that, when you do so, you will be joining in a web of music that extends far beyond learning a few songs Stephen Karydoyanes, director of the Plymouth Philharmonic, was a student of Roys back when Stephen was a boy and Roy was younger. Roy studied choral conducting (says the SHCC website) with Lorna Cooke de Varon at the New England Conservatory of Music. Heres another interesting factoid: there is no age window for becoming an accomplished singer. Unlike dance or instrumental performance, singing talent at an early age may mean nothing for an adult singer. Why? Because we have all used our voices throughout our development. At the same time, we can always learn to stretch our skills with our voices long after our ability to stretch our fingers (instrumental music) and our joints (dance) have become relatively set. This doesnt mean that oldsters like me shouldnt have a go at dance or a new instrument. We should. But it does mean that the caliber of our vocal performance at any age, in concert with others, can reach sublime heights. Go and see on April 16. Some of the singers you will hear have performed all their lives. Some, no doubt, on stage, and some only in the shower. If you find yourself wanting to sing along, consider showing up for the September open rehearsals. You wont even need your pince nez.
Class is limited to 12 students per class. Fee for this program is $85. APRIL VACATION ACTING WORKSHOP: This program is available to children ages 6-15.

Duxbury Clipper
Dragons Den
Sports Editor Mike Halloran sports@duxburyclipper.com
Fontbonne sophomore McKenna Russell raced up the other end of the ice after regaining the puck, only to be stopped by Myette, who sent the puck the other way to Murphy, who turned the Fontbonne defense and fired her shot past the far post. The Lady Dragons finally had a shot on the power play with nine minutes left in the second period and were relentless in the Fontbonne end, as Murphy had a great set-up from Connolly and the firstline trio of Murphy, Connolly and Lily Connolly kept the pressure on Crofton every second they were out there. The one-goal margin didnt seem like enough with the ever-dangerous Shepherd lurking on the opposing blue line. She got her chance at the 6:02 mark, as she went in alone on Myette, only to be stopped after her most threatening attempt of the morning. Lily Connolly was hoping to add to Duxburys lead with 3:35 left when she broke in off the left wing and fired a shot past Crofton that rattled off the post. Duxbury would get one more chance to add to their lead when they went on the power play with 2:30 showing on the clock, but came up empty once again. The Ducks
Lady Dragons win their first state title

would then take advantage of a Duxbury turnover, only to be stopped by Myette again with 10 seconds left in the second period. The Lady Dragons became their own worst enemies, as they continued to parade to the penalty box, giving Fontbonne a two-man advantage for 35 seconds with 13:14 left in the game. The defense of Martha Findley, Keri Gould, Caroline Shaunessy and Ally Hammell continued to shine, as Duxbury wasnt getting any breaks on its end, especially after Shaunessy was hauled down from behind with 11:19 showing and no whistle stopped play. Sophomore defenseman Carly Campbell was also instrumental on the defensive end, as she made two huge stops that prevented the Ducks from getting into scoring position. Fontbonne was now in a fight for its life and was in attack mode every second until a big defensive play by Gould kept them in check. Great forechecking by the second line and an outstanding play by Shaunessy with 6:30 left inched Duxbury closer to the title. Despite wanting to protect the lead, Duxbury kept attacking, as Murphy and Lily Connolly had consecutive attempts

s with most extracurricular activities, fund raising is the backbone that enables the athletic department to function. The funding that the school provides pays for the basics for our studentathletes: transportation, coaches, officials, and fundamental equipment. Boosters clubs through their various fund raising activities are able to give the student-athletes of Duxbury extra needed items. The Duxbury High School athletic boosters club (duxburyboosters.org) which umbrellas all sports purchases many big line items that are outside of the fiscal scope of the athletic department. In the past few years just a few of the items they have purchased are the following: A timing system for the swim team at the Percy Walker Pool A new sound system for the Raymond P. Chandler Field (to be installed in late March) New speakers for the DHS gym high jump pads for the track team sails for the sailing program a substantial donation towards the turf field/track project a substantial donation towards both Chandler Baseball Field and high school softball field projects the scorers table in the DHS gym the Dragon mascot The weekend of March 26 and 27 marks the biggest fund raiser for the athletic department. The 30th annual antique show sponsored by the Athletic Boosters club held in the high school gym will raise money so that purchases such as these can continue in the upcoming years. There will be over 50 quality dealers with an appraisal day on Sunday. Lunch and homemade baked goodies will be available. Admission for the show is $7. More information can be found on the Web site duxburyboosters.org. Please take time out of your busy weekend schedules to stop and peruse around the show. The generous donations to the athletic department go a long way to helping our towns youth success not only in the athletic arena but in the areas that these successes aid outside of athletics.
