The names of the fathers
of Fred and Betsy Stevens
are inscribed on one brick.
Both men served their coun-
try in World War I, although
neither served with the other.
However, the history of both
handsome men intersected in
Duxbury and, in a serendipi-
tous moment, caused the son
of one and the daughter of the
other to fall in love on a sum-
mer’s day by Sweetser’s store.
But that is another story.
The Monument Bricks
Bricks for Memories; each brick
suggests a story and helps to
provide the funding to rebuild
and refurbish a once lost
Duxbury monument. The monu-
ment lists those from Duxbury
who served their nation in World
War One. The bricks bear the
names and sentiments of oth-
ers, some once in uniform,
some still in uniform, some who
served their loved ones in other
ways and all of them recognized
for and by those they touched.
If you purchased a brick in
someone’s memory, call and let
us tell the story your gift hints
at. The bricks series is written
by Steve Donovan. He can be
reached at 781-837-7782.
R ST B Boyd stands for
Robert St. Barbe Boyd who
was born in 1891 in Dedham,
Massachusetts. He graduated
from Harvard in 1914 and, as
a student, served as both class
treasurer and secretary. His
proudest achievement wear-
ing the Harvard crimson was
in track and field. Robert was
the winner all four of his stu-
dent years in the hotly con-
tested two-mile race between
Harvard and Yale.
Frederick A. Stevens served his
country in both world wars.
After graduation he
worked in the insurance busi-
ness. When the United States
entered World War One, Rob-
ert volunteered, and was ac-
cepted into officer training
at Plattsburg, New York. He
served with the 302 Machine
Gun Battalion in the Ameri-
can Expeditionary Forces as
well as the 146th Machine
Gun Battalion of the 41st
Division. After the armistice
Robert emerged from the
Army unscathed as a full cap-
tain and returned to civilian
life.
He again worked in the
came the Executive Secretary
of the Massachusetts Medical
Society. When his daughter
Betsy was old enough, her
father taught her to sail in
a Duxbury Bug, purchased
from the Danner family. Later
the two would crew together
in the Duxbury Duck.
Robert worked with the
Mass. Medical Society for
22 years. He passed away on
March 10, 1958.
F A Stevens was Fred-
erick A. Stevens, Fred’s fa-
ther, who was born in 1898
in Chelsea, Massachusetts.
Frederick chose the military
life at a young age and was
a West Point cadet when
World War I began to frac-
ture Europe. He graduated
as a 2nd Lieutenant and had
additional training in field
artillery at Fort Sill, Okla-
homa. He was soon crossing
the Atlantic on the blacked
out troopship U.S.S. Great
North. He landed at Brest,
France, the staging point for
many young Americans who
would leave there to fight the
Germans and face their infa-
mous gas attacks. In France
and Germany he put the skills
he had learned in Field Artil-
lery School to work blowing
up enemy positions.
In May of 1920 he was
a 1st Lieutenant when he re-
ceived word that his father
had died. He applied for and
was granted a leave of ab-
sence to return and care for
his elderly mother and fi-
nally resigned his commis-
sion to become the Assistant
Treasurer for the U.S.M.C.
– the United Shoe Machin-
ery Corporation of Boston. In
1939 he volunteered to join
the Marine Corps Reserve
and was commissioned as a
Major. Ironically he had left
the U.S.M.C. and joined the
U.S.M.C.
In 1942 he would drive
with his young family to
Quantico, Virginia and again
take them by car in 1943 to
Camp Pendleton in Southern
California. He left them there
and shipped out to the Pa-
cific Theater of War where he
served as a Lieutenant Colo-
nel with the 5th Marine Divi-
sion and was wounded by a
mortar fragment at Iwo Jima.
Within days he had left the
field hospital and was back
on the line fighting. He saved
the fragment they removed
and his son, Fred, still has it.
When the war was over he
served with the Occupation
Forces in Japan.
By Christmas of 1945 he
was home with his family and
back to his job in Boston. In
1946 he was advanced in rank
to full colonel. In 1959, after
Robert Boyd served with the 302
Machine Gun Battalion in the
American Expeditionary Forces
as well as the 146th Machine
Gun Battalion of the 41st Division
in World War I.
20 years in the Marine Corps
Reserve, he retired as a Brig-
adier General and in 1963
retired from United Shoe as
treasurer of the corporation.
The Stevens family spent
a couple of summers in Dux-
bury where Frederick, an avid
golfer, joined the Duxbury
Yacht Club. It was in Dux-
bury that his young son, Fred,
and Robert’s lovely daughter,
Betsy, would meet by chance
and fall in love for life.
Frederick spent his lat-
er years between homes in
Maine and Florida and died
in 1977.

Police project to the polls

continued from page one
police equipment.
Proponents of the new sta-
tion gave brief presentations
that basically stated the need
to replace the outdated, dilapi-
dated police station on West
Street, which dates to 1968.
Duxbury’s new Police
Chief Matt Clancy chose not
to give a formal speech but in-
stead urged voters to approve
Article 17.
“It’s my first Town Meet-
ing and I’m going to probably
wear out my welcome, but I’m
asking you to approve a new
police station,” he said.
Clancy commented on the
state of the building, which is
riddled with leaks and no lon-
ger meets the needs of a 21st
century police department.
“It’s not flattering for the
community. It’s not healthy for
my employees and it’s simply
not functional,” he said.
Proponents said that now
was a good time to build a new
station because interest rates
were low and construction
companies were competitive.
Despite the vocal majority
supporting the project, there
were a few dissenters.
One resident, Robert Doyle
of Cove Street, acknowledged
the need for a new station but
did not like Article 17, be-
cause he said it circumvented
the town’s usual two-step pro-
cess for large projects, which
is to ask for money for plans
first and then coming back
to another Town Meeting for
construction funds.
He offered an amend-
ment to change article 17 from
funding both design and con-
struction to the costs of design
New Police Chief Matthew Clancy
kept his first Town Meeting
speech short and sweet – simply
asking for voters’ support.
only – $425,000. Doyle felt
that the townspeople should
not be giving the project’s pro-
ponents “a blank check,” be-
cause the $6.27 million price
tag was an estimate based only
on conceptual drawings.
Yesugey Oktay of Seabury
Point Road agreed with Doyle:
“We are putting all our eggs in
one basket and we shouldn’t
do that. We really don’t know
the costs,” he said.
Selectmen Chairman
Shawn Dahlen argued against
the amendment, saying that
the ballots for the March 26
election had already been
printed, and they asked voters
to decide on both design and

New school design money
passes Town Meeting vote
continued from page one
If anything, it seemed that
the procedural vote gauging
whether or not voters wanted
to stay past 5 p.m. to tackle
the school buildings article
was more hotly debated than
the article itself. Weiler tried
to get a sense of the meeting
a few minutes after 5 p.m.,
asking voters if they wanted
to continue or adjourn for the
night, but the crowd inside
the PAC seemed evenly split.
However, when Weiler went
across the hall to the Alden
cafeteria to ask the same ques-
tion to the overflow crowd,
those folks were clearly in fa-
vor of staying.
Those who stayed late saw
a lengthy presentation from
Superintendent Dr. Benedict
 -Ê
Tantillo and Elizabeth Lewis,
chairwoman of the School
Building Committee. Lewis is
also an engineer and explained
some of the detailed building
code issues the schools would
be faced with if they attempt-
ed repair or renovation rather
than new construction.
“Things like replacing a
roof are no longer that sim-
Ê" " Ê,  ",Ê" 9ÊfÎÊ
ple,” she said. “That would
prevent you from doing that in
piecemeal.”
Lewis cited a feasibility
study, paid for by funds from
…iiÃiÊUÊœLÃÌiÀÊ,>˜}œœ˜Ã
the 2008 Town Meeting, that
said even the most basic of
system repairs could cost vot-
ers 68.2 million –  and that
number might not be subject
to state reimbursement the
way new construction would
be (The town’s portion of a
new school building is esti-
mated at $74 million).
“This does not buy you
any upgrades,” Lewis said, re-
ferring to the repair quote.
Lewis said her committee
looked at many options out-
lined in the feasibility study,
including repair, renovation,
and a new co-located facility
on Train Field. She said the
field project would have cost
$6 million less, but the town
would lose the use of the field
and there are deed restrictions
that may have presented tricky
legal issues.
She said a senior study
team from the Massachusetts
School Building Authority
visited both Duxbury Middle
School and Duxbury High
School and recommended new
construction.
Tantillo talked about the
current facilities’ impact on
education, showing barrels set
up in the middle school’s mu-
sic room to catch rain water
leaking from the celling, and
cramped science labs in the
high school.
“Quite frankly we don’t
have the electrical capacity in
the buildings to do what we
need to do. That’s hindering
our education,” Tantillo said.
“Our students quite frank-
ly deserve better, and Duxbury
deserves better,” he added.
The article’s proponents
also pointed out that the dis-
trict received 67 percent reim-
bursement from the state for
the last major school build-
ing project that resulted in the
PAC and elementary school
expansions. The percentage
this time around is 43 percent
– and that’s only when things
like the model school program
are added to the MSBA’s base
number.
The town’s financial
boards both recommended the
project, although the Finance
Committee’s vote was 6-3 to
endorse article 18.
“Yes this is a huge proj-
ect, but we have a good record
with big projects,” said Fis-
cal Advisory Chairman Bill
O’Toole.
“We do not believe sim-
ply repairing these buildings
is money well spent,” said
Gay Shanahan of the Finance
Committee.
Participation in the model
school program means that
Duxbury would chose from
a limited number of archi-
tects and the new construc-
tion would be fashioned after
“model” schools such as Whit-
man-Hanson High School or
the co-located Ipswich High
School/Middle School. Lewis
pointed out that the “co-locat-
ed” concept limits the mixing
of high school and middle
school students.
“It’s two separate, district
schools sharing one building,”
she said. “They each have their
own entrance, their own iden-
tity, their own principals.”
The tax impact of the total
$130 million project (although
it should be noted that Town
Meeting voters only decided

New school superintendent
gets straight A’s from board
By Justin Graeber, Clipper Editor
justin@duxburyclipper.com
The School Committee
gave high marks to new su-
perintendent Benedict Tantillo
during his first evaluation at
Wednesday night’s committee
meeting.
Tantillo has only been at
the job since the end of last
summer, but he was a unani-
mous choice by the commit-
tee for the superintendent’s
job. Committee members said
he’s brought a fresh approach
to the district, and praised his
focus on technology.
The committee recently
changed the way it does evalu-
ations – publicly airing each
members’ comments rather
than preparing a summary.
Tantillo was graded on six
standards: educational leader-
ship, organizational leader-
ship, administrative manage-
ment, budget management,
communication/public rela-
tions, and relationship with the
School Committee. He was
given a grade of either exceeds
expectations, meets expecta-
tions or needs improvement
– although no one suggested
Tantillo needed improvement
in any category, and commit-
tee members mostly gave him
the highest possible grade.
In terms of educational
leadership, committee mem-
bers pointed to Tantillo’s
eagerness to develop a new
strategic plan (the district just
came off a five year long-range
plan.)
“Although we do not of-
ficially have a strategic plan,
Superintendent Tantillo is stra-
tegically planning,” said Mau-
reen Connolly.
Gary Magnuson gave the
superintendent a “meets ex-
pectation” grade in this area,
but noted Tantillo has only
been in Duxbury about six
months.
“I think this is a work in
process – it’s probably always
going to be a work in process,”
he said.
Magnuson noted that there
have been many “competing
priorities” for the school dis-
trict, including the push for
new school buildings.
“While the school building
project is important, we can’t
forget what our most impor-
tant responsibility is,” he said.
All School Committee
member, however, gave Tan-
tillo the highest possible grade
in the organizational leader-


ship category.
“He knows when to make
a decision and when to col-
laborate,” said Connolly. “He
just gets it”
Vice Chairman John Hein-
stadt said that when Tantillo
first interviewed with the dis-
tirct, he described his leader-
ship style as “management by
walking around.” Heinstadt

Fire station rehab and
cemetery swap approved
By Justin Graeber, Clipper Editor
justin@duxburyclipper.com
Voters at Town Meeting
approved the construction
funds to rehabilitate the town’s
main fire station on Tremont
Street. Also approved was a
“land swap,” where some par-
cels under the
Town Board of Select-
Meeting men’s control
were given to
2011 the cemetery
trustees to plan
for future expansion and cem-
etery land was given back to
the town to help accommodate
the new station’s septic sys-
tem.
Last year’s Town Meet-
ing gave the thumbs up to a
two-year debt exclusion for
$292,000 to pay for the design
of the expansion. That allowed
the Public Safety Building
Committee to come back to
this year’s meeting with the to-
tal project cost of $3,697,064.
The borrowing would be over
15 years.
The project will address
long-standing challenges for
the Duxbury Fire Deparmtent,
Finance Committee member
Mark Keating said while not-
ing that his committee unani-
mously recommended the
project.
“This is a cost-effective,
thoughtful and reasonable so-
lution to the Fire Department’s
questions,” Keating said.
Broken down, the costs for
the project include $3,202,923
for construction and a 10 per-
cent contingency, $286,141
for furnishings, $110,000 for
architectural services and
$98,000 for project manage-
ment and legal expenses.
The biggest part of the
project will be a new 7,860
square foot wing that will
house updated, gender-appro-
priate crew quarters. There
will also be a three-bay garage
for apparatus storage. The de-
partment’s administrator will
also be in this new wing, mak-
ing public access easier.
“Keep in mind – this is
their home. They sleep here,
they prepare meals here,” said
Public Safety Building Com-
mittee Chairman Andre Mar-
tecchini.
Martecchini said that if
the fire station rehabilitation
does not pass at the ballot box,
some money will still have to
be spent to remove an illegal
inspection pit and perform
other repairs.
Fire Chief Kevin Nord
said that he’s learned from
the failed attempts to get new
public safety buildings over
the last couple of years.
“This has been a long proj-
ect, we’ve learned a lot from
you the voters,” Nord said.
“It’s been scaled back in size
and costs. The wants have
been taken away and just the
needs exist.”

Fire Chief Kevin Nord explains
the need for the fire station reno-
vations.
Other town committees
were vocal in their support for
the project.
“The fire chief and his staff
have done a truly great job,”
said Fiscal Advisory Chairman
Bill O’Toole. “We need to do
this. We should complete the
project started last year.” Fis-
cal Advisory also unanimously
recommended the project.
“This has, one could say
almost literally, passed through
the test of fire,” said resident
Will Zachmann while voicing
his support for the project.
One resident did question
some of the expenses in the
bid – including the number of
wastebaskets and toilets in the
building and the 10 percent
contingency (pointing out the
police station project only has
5 percent built in.)
“The bid is the bid,” said
Martecchini in response. “The
market is the market. Do we
need all the toilets? Yes we do,
they’re code required.”
He also explained the con-
tingency number, saying it’s
generally higher for renova-
tions than new construction.
“When you renovate an exist-
ing building. I guarantee you
will find things you do not ex-
pect,” he said.
However, he pointed out
that many of the town’s past
construction projects, notably
the Chandler roof restoration,
have come in under budget.
“If we don’t spend it, in
the end we will return it,” he
said.
Since the bids for the proj-
ect have already come in based
on the design study, Martec-
chini said that if the project
passes at the ballot box, the
bid should be awarded shortly
and the new station would be
occupied and completed by
July of next year.
Earlier at the meeting, vot-
ers approved a “land swap”
between the Board of Select-
men and the cemetery trustees.
Two parcels near the fire sta-
tion totaling two acres will be
given to the town for septic, as
well as 2.5 acres of cemetery
land that’s now an exit from
the Transfer Station. In return,
the cemetery trustees will get
about 28 acres from five sepa-
rate lots near the rear of the
cemetery. This land includes
walking trails, which officials
said on Town Meeting floor
will not be subject to the cem-

Blairhaven buy OK’d
continued from page one
The initial vote on
Blairhaven was 389 in favor to
209 opposed, missing the 2/3
majority needed for CPA pur-
chases by 14 votes.
After they voted, many
residents began to leave
while Town Meeting contin-
ued and approved Article 25,
an open space land purchase
of $447,097 for 29 acres off
Summer Street.
Then came the motion to
reconsider article 24. The mo-
tion to reconsider passed 274
to 119. At the second vote, ar-
ticle 24 gained the two-thirds
majority it needed and passed,
302 to 116, giving Duxbury its
newest slice of public water-
front property, an event which
hasn’t happened in over 67
years, since Eben and Grace
Ellison gave Shipyard Lane
beach to the town in 1944.
In her introduction to the
article, Community Preser-
vation Committee chairman
Holly Morris described the
purchase of Blairhaven as “an
extraordinary opportunity.”
“It will provide an area
for passive recreation and im-
proved access to the bay for
the community,” she said.
The property, which slopes
downward to Kingston Bay
from Crescent Street, has 309
feet of sandy, rocky waterfront
access and pretty views of the
water and surrounding private-
ly owned open space areas: the
DR&HS Allen property and
Cedar Hill. Much of the lot,
which contains three buildings
– a dormitory, rental cottage
and barn – is a grassy lawn
with an outdoor chapel and
parking area. The land could
be developed into two to three
house lots, Morris said.
The CPC has been asking
the New Church Union about
the possibility of purchasing
Blairhaven since 2003, said
Morris. An appraisal done last
year by the town equaled $3.15
million, while the church’s ap-
praisal came in at $3.5 million;
the agreed-upon price was $3
million. The church wanted
to sell it to the town because,
Morris said, “This was more
in observance with their mis-
sion.”
Morris explained that a
deed restriction will spell out
the uses for the property in
perpetuity.
Morris made an amend-
ment to the article to insert the
word “passive” before recre-
ation but voters rejected this
change as it would limit the
town’s ability to use the land
as it wanted.
Joe Messina, chairman
of the recently appointed
Blairhaven Study Committee,
said the committee will study
the property and make a rec-
ommendation to selectmen on
how Blairhaven is to be used.
The committee will also create
a draft management plan and
the deed restriction.
“The committee will make
sure that the uses of the proper-
ty are consistent with the envi-
ronment and the neighborhood
and the Community Preserva-
tion Act,” said Messina, who
also chairs the Conservation
Commission. More neighbors
will be appointed to the com-
mittee, he added.
Many neighbors opposed
buying Blairhaven.
John Reed of Standish
Street told Town Meeting that
it should refuse this purchase
until the study committee de-
termines the use of the land.
“We deserve to know what
we are going to get for this
money,” said Reed. “We need
to reject this until they come
back to us with some idea of
how we’re going to use this
property.”
Edward Finn of Crescent
Street said he was concerned
about the price and about
“rushing to buy the property”
and felt that Blairhaven was
worth less than the appraisal
considering the current real
estate market.
Doug Hart of Standish
Street felt the town should have
a management plan in place
before it acquired Blairhaven
and that he, too, was concerned
about the cost. He called the
upper two lots “miserable land
that are not any benefit to the
town” and he wondered how
the town was going to pay to
maintain the land, including
the long seawall, which is “in
terrible disrepair.”
“I urge you to turn this
down and save the money,”
said Hart.
Some felt the town should
defer the purchase until later
in the year after it comes up
with use plan and may be able
to negotiate a lower price.
“We have an opportunity to
keep this pot of gold growing
for higher priority projects,”
said Jim Sullivan of Tremont
Street.
Selectmen stated that if
town meeting did not approve
the purchase, the purchase and
sales agreement with the own-
er would be null and void, and
Wednesday, March 16, 2011
that there were no guarantees
the owner would continue ne-
gotiations with the town.
Sullivan suggested that
this money would be better
used to refurbish school play-
ing fields. Morris said this was
impossible since the law only
allows towns to use CPA mon-
ey for playing fields if they
acquire the land. When CPA
funds were used for the high
school football turf field, they
only paid for drainage and site
work, she said. Volunteers
raised the rest of the money to
build the field.
Those who supported ar-
ticle 24 felt that by buying

CPA rescind article fails

By Susanna Sheehan, Clipper Staff
susanna@duxburyclipper.com
An effort to repeal the
Community Preservation Act
failed to gain the support of
Town Meeting voters late
Monday night.
Article 28, a citizen’s pe-
tition to repeal the CPA, was
brought forth by Partridge
Road resident
Town Paul McCor-
Meeting mack. Voters re-
jected article 28
2011 on a voice vote,
which also end-
ed the four-hour Monday ses-
sion of the annual Town Meet-
ing at 11 p.m.
McCormack said he pro-
posed the article because the
way the town uses the CPA
has changed since voters ap-
proved the 3 percent real estate
tax surcharge in 2001. McCor-
mack felt that the CPA has been
prone to special interest groups
who “overwhelm town meet-
ing and push through their arti-
cles.” Also, he said that due to
the recent economic downturn,
it was time to end the CPA to
help residents who might be
struggling to pay their bills.
Since its inception, the
Community Preservation Act
has raised $9 million from
Duxbury tax payers, $7.4 mil-
lion from the state match and
$5 million in donations or
grants, and it has funded proj-
ects valued at over $20 mil-
lion. McCormack took issue
with the way this money has
been spent, saying that if the
town did not have a CPA, all
large purchases would have to
pass Town Meeting and a town
election, making for more
check and balances.
Now, he said, “It’s too easy
to spend our money.”
McCormack noted that
Duxbury is getting a lower state
match then when it first initi-
ated the CPA. For five years,
the state match stayed steady
at 100 percent but is has de-
clined the last four years, to 73
percent in 2008, 38 percent in
2009, and 30 percent last year.
In 2011, the CPC is budgeting
for a 28 percent state match.
He was concerned that the
town has had trouble spending
the community housing money
generated by the CPA and dis-
agreed with the trend of using
CPA funds to restore parts of
private historic buildings such
as windows for both the First
Parish Church and the John Al-
den house.
“The CPA has clearly
changed from what we signed
up for,” he said.
Since 2001, the average tax
bill has risen by 50 percent, or
55 percent including the CPA
surcharge, said McCormack.
“The CPA is a want, not a
Paul D. Fitzgerald, D.M.D., P.C.
need, and clearly it is a want Specializing in Orthodontics
we can no longer afford,” he
said.
Representing the sentiment
of the majority who defeated
article 28 on a voice vote, Bay
Road Sara Wilson said: “This
is the only tax I pay that I pay
cheerfully. It is a small amount
that gives back so much.”
Former Selectman Andre
Martecchini said he opposed
article 28 but offered an idea
that altered the CPA surcharge.
Martecchini suggested that
the town decide how much is a
“fair number” to collect annu-
ally via the CPA and then adjust
the surcharge on a sliding scale
every year in order to collect

Financing idea is ‘Wimpy’ ————————
A L
t Town Meeting, it
was suggested that
in the event a new
school construction project
was approved that the Finance
Committee and town manager
would recommend using a form
of long-term bond financing
called a “hybrid,” which appar-
ently would mean pretty much
interest only for half the term
and them principal payments
for the second half of the term.
Such a borrowing struc-
ture, while well-intended to
reduce the immediate impact
on real estate taxes but doing
nothing but creating a potential
“bubble” in debt service prin-
cipal payment increase starting
a decade in the future, should
be loudly rejected at the special
Town Meeting in the fall when
the actual construction cost
proposal will be made.
It has long been the prac-

project I am aware of (includ-

was described to be used on the
police and fire station projects
approved at Town Meeting on
Saturday.
I see absolutely no reason
to change our long standing
policy as to how to finance this
project. It is the equivalent, in
my opinion, of the old Popeye
cartoon character, “Wimpy,”
who pledges that “I will gladly
pay you Tuesday, for a ham-
burger today!”
I don’t care if my taxes do
go up by a higher payment if I
am paying down the principal
of that debt. The proposed “hy-
brid” for interest only for 10
years, and then increasing pay-
ments way off in the future to
pay down principal smacks of
financial engineering that got
this country into this mess!
Being consistent with our
past practices on any future
I am proud to be a part of
this thoughtful community
while watching a new gen-
eration planting positive seeds
within this great town. As
a past president and current
steering committee member of
the Brockton Soup Kitchen,
now known as ‘The Table’ our
clients are thankful for each
meal served and each bag lunch
provided to hold them over for
another day. These thankful
guests of The Table – some are
enormous rate. When I came
in 1968, there were about 400
students in the high school but
that quickly changed until we
peaked at a little more than
1,300 in the early ‘80’s. The
town’s solution to the problem
of space was to build additions
to both schools. The towns-
people were no more inter-
ested in spending money then
than they are now, but they fi-
nally got the votes they needed
to construct the additions.
They built two large addi-
tions very quickly and cheaply
and there were immediate
problems. The bricks started
falling off the exterior walls
and they had to be repointed.
The ventilation on the second
floor of the new wing was ter-
rible. I was embarrassed to
have student and teachers in
those rooms during hot weath-
er. The windows became so
bad that they were welded
The interruption was uncalled
for. Up to this point, the meet-
ing was orderly and well-run
by a new moderator.
If anyone disagrees with
a speaker, he can get in line
to be recognized and speak
his disagreement, or give his
ideas. Mob rule and disrespect
for people who stand on their
school construction financing
is not only prudent in that it
reduces outstanding principal
over time so that future capi-
tal projects may be undertaken
without jeopardizing credit
agency ratings, but also ensures
fairness that all residents of the
town at the time of a town meet-
ing, whether they choose to at-
tend or not, are treated equally
over time in repayment of town
debt incurred at the time of that
Town Meeting, regardless as to
how long they stay a resident of
the town.
It does not matter if you are
in favor of new construction,
or school renovation. There is
a need, it must be met, and we
will have to pay for it. But I
would suggest precedent, fair-
ness and prudence should gov-
ern our Finance Committee and
town manager’s decision as
to the structure of any future
financing. We should not be
“Wimpy” about this.

shut. the traffic patterns in
the school were disjointed and
difficult and resulted in lost
instructional time. As soon as
the building was built it was
outdated. The state mandated
major changes in special edu-
cation and no provision had
been made for the spaces these
new programs required. Con-
sequently we had to force them
into the space we had.
The worst mistake the
town could make would be
to spend millions of dollars
on these buildings. They will
never be good school buildings
and they will be expensive to
operate. The two schools on
the same footprint provide bet-
ter eduction and will be more
economical to run.

Citizens feel cheated —————————— Proud to be from Duxbury

I I
f the town is not going
to administer the “re-
consider bylaw” legally,
perhaps they should reconsider
its use. If it is “nearly impos-
sible” to monitor the voters and
do it correctly why would it be
allowed? I would hate to think
that it serves the purpose of
those in the know.
Last night after a healthy
debate the Blairhaven article

was defeated by a 2/3 vote. A
proponent of the article pro-
posed “reconsideration” after
many people had left. It passed
and during this vote people
were physically locked out
of the meeting. I am so sorry
that I did not have my camera
to document this, most of you
probably can’t believe that this
would happen in Duxbury, but
it did.
As my 89 year old mother-
in-law said after sitting through
2 1/2 hours of her first town
meeting and finding out that
her vote really didn’t count,
“it seems like they cheated.” I
couldn’t agree more.
I am sad that the citizens of
the town that I love, behaved in
this manner.

Steadman running for Library Trustee

S
unny loves the Dux-
bury Free Library.
This is not unusual.
What makes her different from
her worthy opponents is not
only has she
had a library
card for more
than half a
century but
she is a “dig-
ital migrant,”
having suc-
Sunny Steadman c e s s f u l l y
navigated
the divide between real books
and eBooks. This gives her a
unique perspective that if she
is not elected will not be repre-
sented on the Board of Trust-
ees.
Voted “most versatile” by
her high school class, Sunny
has continued to pursue a wide
variety of interests and take
many turns along her profes-
sional and personal paths. Her
first job was in the travel busi-
ness. To that she added experi-
ence in human resources and
then higher education admin-
istration. Her academic cre-
dentials eventually included:
B.A. cum laude Mount Holy-
oke College, M.Ed. Harvard,
and MBA, Simmons. She lived
and worked in Iran and came to
Duxbury in 1985 to be a stay-
at-home mom while her son
attended Duxbury Schools.
She has been semi-retired
for two years now, and though
she works on contract as a
technical writer and editor,
Sunny says she has “more time
to do fewer things” and is se-
lective, choosing, for example,
to serve on the search commit-
tee for Duxbury’s new police
chief.
Sunny is a Sustainer Friend
of the Library and a frequent
visitor. Whether on the ground
floor attending an event in the
Merry Room, perusing the fic-
tion stacks and admiring the art
in the Bumpus Gallery on the
first floor, using the research
tools and meeting space on the
third, or chatting with staff,
she defines the library as her
“comfort zone.” She expects
many residents do as well. As
a Trustee she will work hard to
safeguard this welcoming en-
vironment.
Priorities:
• Trustees need to focus on
volunteers who not only sup-
port employees but who are
critical to the fulfillment of
DFL’s mission especially in
these challenging economic
times.
• Trustees need to review
policies that relate to digital
works. For example, publish-

Q&A: Planning Board

This week’s question: The Planning Board has clashed publicly with the Board of Selectmen
over several zoning bylaw issues in recent months –– including their non-support of many of the
articles proposed by the Planning board on the Town Meeting warrant. Why do you think this is,
and what would you do to ensure greater cooperation between town boards?
PAUL MCCORMACK: The roles and re-
sponsibilities of the Planning Board and Board
of Selectmen are very different and as such they
might have different views on certain subjects. I
would be more concerned if both boards moved
in lock-step and agreed on every issue.
Disagreements only be-
come an issue if they are not
handled professionally and
Election impersonally. So long as
the two boards, when nec-
2011 essary, can work together,
a difference of opinion is
fine.
In 2010 and 2011, I have
been the “citizen” behind a citizenʼs petition”
in the warrant for Town Meeting. For both is-
sues, I did not receive the support of the Board
of Selectman. Itʼs not personal and itʼs no big
deal. I would expect the Planning Board to feel
the same.
The issue of a dwelling unit and accessory
structure is a complicated issue and the town
seems to be somewhat of a mixed mind. On
the one hand, the town is opposed to “double
density,” yet in 2008, Town Meeting approved
article 32, which provided for a relaxation of
property by-laws in order to create more afford-
able housing.
There is a strong tradition in town for the
use of accessory structures for sleeping areas
and guest rooms – Duxbury is a coastal com-
munity and many people have family and
friends visit during the summer. Does a rela-
tively large, well appointed guest house create a
JENNIFER TURCOTTE: In my opinion,
there have been different interpretations of the
broad language in the zoning bylaws that have
caused the recent clashes between the Board of
Selectmen and the Planning Board. The zoning
bylaws define the various terms used within the
bylaw, “unless a contrary meaning is required
by the context or is specifically prescribed”
(Article 301, page 5 of Duxbury Zoning By-
laws). Each of the Boards – and the citizens of
Duxbury – interprets the definitions in a cer-
tain way and has their own opinion about what
the definitions mean or don’t mean. Clarifying
the definitions in the zoning bylaw is a good
place to start resolving this difference of opin-
ion. It’s also important to remember the inten-
tion behind the definition at the time the zoning
bylaws were created, because the meaning of
words changes over time.
The mission of the town of Duxbury is “to

second dwelling unit? Unfortunately, the Town
of Duxbury has now placed that decision in the Marcia Morgan - Director
hands of the court.
Like the Board of Selectmen, I find article
33, a Citizenʼs Petition, somewhat better than
article 34, the Planning Boardʼs proposal, at Portraits by
dealing with the issue. But frankly, more needs
to be done.
During the past year, the Planning Board
has come under quite a bit of criticism for
its handling of 21 River Lane. The Board of
Selectmenʼs proposal for a Government Study
Committee to look at a number of issues, in-
cluding appoint or elect the Planning Board,
came at time when the Planning Board may
have been feeling “picked on.” The Board of
Selectmen were trying to deal with the issue of
medical benefits for elected officials (excluding
the Town Clerk), and somehow came up with a
complicated proposal for a Government Study
Committee. Wisely, the selectmen decided to
w w w. t r a c y s h e e h a n . c o m 781-585-7363
drop that idea. *
After the extremely poor job done by the
Government Study Committee in 2006, the
Town should give a great deal of thought and di-
rection prior to the start of another such study.
The Planning Board interacts with a num-
ber of town boards. All that can be asked is
that each member – and the board as a whole
– give careful consideration to the reasonable
arguments of the other boards and its members.
Neither the individuals not the board should be
so entrenched in its own ideas that this would
prove impossible.
deliver excellent services to the community
in the most fiscally responsible and innova-
tive manner while endeavoring to broaden our
sense of community and preserve the unique
character of our town.” I would ensure greater
cooperation between the boards by being a team
player consistent with the town’s mission state-
ment. It’s every town employee’s responsibility
to embrace the mission Statement; elected of-
ficials are no exception. Technical expertise is
critical for the Planning Board to deliver excel-
lent service, and a good understanding of how
to apply the regulations provides a solid foun-
dation for fiscally responsible innovation. My
background is ideally suited for the Planning
Board because I have a solid understanding
of zoning bylaws, subdivision, conservation,
Board of Health and building regulations that
would provide a fresh perspective on the issues
that the Planning Board currently faces.

Next week’s question: Where do you fall on the issue of accessory structures being used as
living spaces? How can the town take steps to prevent double density while respecting the rights
or homeowners?

FALLING SHORT OF EXPECTATIONS

Americans choose to undergo
back surgery for the treatment of
pain. According to a new study,
many back-surgery patients find
that the procedure actually leaves
them in worse shape than before
surgery. To study back surgery’s
effects, researchers reviewed the
records of 1,450 workers who were
diagnosed with disc degeneration,
disc herniation, and radiculopathy
(nerve compression in the spine
that leads to numbness and weak-
ness). Half the people studied un-
derwent spinal-fusion surgery while
the other half had no surgery. After
two years, 26% of the back-surgery
patients returned to work com-
pared with 67% of the non-surgery
patients. Moreover, researchers
noted a 41% increase in the use
of painkillers (opiates, in particular)
among the back-surgery patients.

Q&A: Library Trustees
New Library Director Carol Jankowski recently discussed the library’s strategic plan with
the Clipper, using the phrase “library as commons.” The idea, she said, involves a vision of the
library as a central place for people to gather and share ideas and common interests. What does
this concept mean to you, and what tangible steps would you encourage as a trustee to further
it?
ELIZABETH “SUNNY” STEADMAN:
It is interesting to note that “Commons” has re-
mained on the top three service
responses in the Duxbury
Free Library’s Long Range
Election Plan FY06-FY10, while
“General Information”
2011 has become “Informa-
tional Literacy” and “Life-
long Learning” has been re-
placed by “Current Topics and
Titles.” The library has always been a commons
but now it is a community center. As the model
for borrowing shifts from books to eBooks,
the definition of “commons” is morphing from
physical space into virtual space.
To find out more about how libraries’ roles
are changing I attended the OCLN Legislative
Breakfast held at the Plymouth Public Library
on March 1. I heard testimonials from library
patrons who found tutoring, employment ser-
vices, assistance with adoption, and quite liter-
ally life saving help from staff and volunteers.
Of particular interest to me as a senior citizen
was the story told by a technologically illiter-
ate woman who learned how to use the Internet
at the Library and embraced “informational lit-
eracy.” It is no wonder that in the past 10 years
library visits have jumped 50 percent.
The irony is that in the same decade state
funding to public libraries has dropped 31 per-
cent. For 2012 the state will provide “level
funding” which amounts to less money. Yet
we must maintain our library building and
make sure it remains a welcoming place to all
knowledge seekers. It needs to be a physically
BROOKE MCDONOUGH: I chose
“Brooke For Books” as my campaign slogan
because it’s catchy and I hope people will re-
member it at the polls. However, during the ten
years I spent volunteering on different library
boards, I came to realize what sets our library
apart —it’s about more than just books.
The library has become a true community
center for Duxbury. Library Director Carol
Jankowski’s vision of the “library as commons”
ensures that the library remains a vibrant, cul-
tural meeting place that addresses the needs of
the patrons, a place where people of all back-
grounds and interests can pursue individual and
shared interests.
The library’s exceptional programming in
each department is key to this vision. Building a
community “common” includes reaching even
our youngest residents with the popular sum-
mer reading program, which attracts roughly
800 young readers each year. The award-win-
ning young adult programs offer our town’s
teens book clubs, video contests, knitting club,
and much more. Young Adult Librarian El-
len Snoeyenbos has created a haven for teens
to talk about books, write, create, and simply
“hang out” in a safe, friendly place.
For adults, the library offers a wide array
of programming. The well-attended Sunday
ÊUÊ
/Ê
Salon Series provides author talks and stimu-
,ÊUÊ
inviting place – well-lighted, comfortable, a
safe haven for young and old, with trained staff
and volunteers available – and it needs to be
open often.
How can we counter this projected short-
fall in state funding? (1) The trustees should
be proactive and prominent advocates for state
funds through the Massachusetts Board of Li-
brary Commissioners and OCLN Legislative
Committee. (2) Trustees must ensure continu-
ing support from the town at no less than 2 per-
cent of the total operating budget. (3) Trustees
are called to be leaders in fundraising through
Friends of Duxbury Free Library (FOL), Dux-
bury Free Library Incorporated (DFL Inc),
grants and gifts.
Financial stability will ensure building and
staffing needs are met but meeting the “com-
mons” needs requires some creativity. For ex-
ample, I recommend adopting the “homework
help” program in place in Stoughton and Co-
hasset, where high schoolers tutor younger stu-
dents as a community service, i.e., free. This
concept could be adapted for seniors using
volunteers to take some of the burden born by
professional staff. Free tutoring for seniors has
the added benefit of providing another giving
back opportunity for Duxbury residents while
bringing them into the digital age. It promotes
physical and virtual engagement at the “com-
mons.”
Representative Thomas J. Calter describes
the library as the “community’s epicenter.” Be-
yond being a “commons” this is my vision for
the Duxbury Free Library, which as a trustee I
will work tirelessly to encourage and support.
name a few. We’re lucky to have programming
that appeals to so many patrons.
As a trustee I would support the director
and her talented staff in their mission to contin-
ue to provide diverse and interesting program-
ming. I also would plan to be an active trustee,
by attending programs and promoting them to
the community.
Fun events at the library also draw the
community together. On March 20, the library
will be transformed to a mini golf course at
the Friends of the Library’s Birdie for Books
fundraising event. The library director and the
librarians have worked closely with the Friends
boards over the years to bring these events to
the community.
The library’s relationship with other town
organizations is another part of its success as a
community center. The Senior Center, the Ru-
ral and Historical Society, the Duxbury schools,
and many others work with the library to pro-
vide services to residents. As trustee, I would
continue to encourage groups and organizations
to take advantage of the library’s resources. As
a professional writer, I would also like to initi-
ate a library-based writing group.
In a broader sense, promoting the library as
a community resource is an important role of

DONNA RYAN: The “library as a commons” concept re-
cently articulated by Library Director Carol Jankowski repre-
sents the basic idea that the library should be a central gathering
place for people to exchange and impart ideas with others in our
community. Today, the library provides a welcoming, safe, and
neutral place for people and organizations to convene. Our pa-
trons and outside groups regularly use a range of meeting rooms
that provide technology for users.
Programs and services offer an environment rich in learning
and exploration. The library is truly a place for patrons of all
generations.
A broader interpretation of the “library as a commons” con-
cept is how the library provides programming for targeted audi-
ences. The Poetry Circle, Storytime for Toddlers and the Sun-
day Salon Series are examples of the variety of library programs
offered. The library also works in collaboration with schools to
provide hands-on research instruction, which provides a new
educational experience for our students.
Partnering with local organizations is another way to make
community connections and further the “library as commons”
concept. The Duxbury Rural and Historical Society maintains
a permanent case on the upper level of the library, showcasing
historic garments and artifacts. The Community Garden Club
of Duxbury provides beautiful floral arrangements that enhance
the Circulation Desk and the Children’s Department. In 2006,
the Friends of the Duxbury Free Library held its first ever Roar-
ing ‘20s Gala in the library. Over 300 people attended the black-
tie event. The Friends’ Gala raised over $20,000 to support the
library, again illustrating the “library as commons” theme.
Looking ahead, I see exciting opportunities to grow the li-
brary’s programming to the environs outside the library walls.
Thanks to the generosity and dedication of the Friends, the out-
door space in the front of the building was expanded to include
a garden and pathway, and I was honored to participate in the
design and implementation. The junior members of the Com-
munity Garden Club of Duxbury created and maintain raised
floral beds on the side of the back entrance to the library. Also,
the large garden in front of the back staircase was initiated and
completed as an Eagle Scout project.
With continued support from the community, the possibility
of offering “commons” outdoor programs could become a real-
ity. Outdoor summer reading programs for children, the creation
of a comfortable reading garden that takes advantage of the ex-
isting internet services, and an outdoor summer film series are
examples of the type of creative programming ideas I would
support as your library trustee. On March 26, please support
me for library trustee.

to come Duxbury’s way with

Victories over Natick and
Canton came relatively easy
for the Lady Dragons in the
tournament, but their 4-0 shut-
out of No. 11-seeded Concord-
Carlisle (11-8-1) on Sunday
afternoon in the South Sec-
tional semifinals was a thing
of beauty, as they limited the
Patriots to no more than a half-
dozen shots on net in a display
of total domination.
While goaltender Rachel
Myette barely broke a sweat
during her 45-minute perfor-
mance, her teammates were
nearly flawless, as the for-
ward lines pressured the C-C
defense relentlessly and the
ternoon and moved the puck
up ice, giving their rookie net-
minder a relaxing view from
the backline.
The Patriots came out in
the opening minutes and used
up all their adrenaline, as the
Lady Dragons took over the
action and buzzed netminder
Michaela Haller for minutes
at a time. Despite Duxbury’s
dominance, the C-C goalten-
der miraculously kept them off
the board as shots trickled by
open nets, rebounds hit posts,
and fallen defenseman made
for a wall of Jersey barriers in
front.
While the Duxbury crowd
the Lady Dragon were on the
road to victory with only the
time of their first goal and the
final score to be determined.
It didn’t take long to re-
lieve that anxiety, as freshman
Liz Collins scored what would
become the winning goal at
the 7:18 mark when she took a
pass out of the corner from Zoe
Griffin to finally beat Haller.
The lid was now off, and
it took just 18 more seconds to
make it 2-0 when sophomore
Lily Connolly came out of
the corner to Haller’s left and
flipped a shot over the goalten-
der’s shoulder.

on the farm continued from page one

We’ve always had something of a leg up on the rest of the

country when it comes to organic methods, soil improvement
(ours needs it), and small farming. Conga lines of massive
combines are a thing of the Midwest. I hope I get to watch a
single tractor wend its way back and forth across Bay Farm.

farming experiences for everyone from a different direction.

a healthy supply of seasonal fresh produce throughout the

relationship between people and the food they eat, the land on
which it is grown and those who grow it.”
At the O’Neil Farm, says the Clipper notice, this could
mean that you could “go once a week to get milk, organic
vegetables, eggs, and meat, and pet and feed various animals.”
In other words, you and your children could drink in the
priceless vistas, scents, and sounds of farm life in America and
help preserve the same for others. Like mowing time at Bay
Farm, such experiences help place us and our children in a
context that cannot be replaced.

Dragons’ season comes to an end
By Mike Halloran, Sports Editor
sports@duxburyclipper.com
After making the tourna-
ment by tying the last game
of the regular season, and then
knocking off the No. 4 and
No. 5 seeds to advance to the
South Sectional semifinals, the
Dragons went deeper into post-
season play than many experts
expected.
boys hockey
Duxbury 0
Springfield Cathedral 5
For their efforts, they
earned the right to play No. 1
seed Springfield Cathedral (13-
9-1), who had lost its Super 8
play-in battle to Woburn and
therefore became the top seed
in the Division 1 tournament.
After a 4-0 shutout of Natick in
the quarterfinals, the Panthers
felt confident when they took
on the No. 13 seeded Dragons
at Gallo Arena in Bourne on
Friday night.
If Duxbury was hoping to
surprise the Panthers with a
tight-checking defensive ef-
Dragons’ Den Sports Editor Mike Halloran • sports@duxburyclipper.com
fort, the first thing they needed
to do was keep up with them,
and that proved to be difficult,
as Cathedral whistled a shot
off the post behind goaltender
Tim Matthews in the first min-
ute of play.
It was the first of many
shots that buzzed the Duxbury
net, with the winning goal
coming less than four min-
utes into the game when junior
forward Frank Crinella found
himself alone in the slot where
he fired a shot that beat Mat-
thews from about 20 feet out
for a 1-0 lead.
The Dragons were having
serious problems penetrating
the Panther defense, as their
shot total crept slowly along as
the period progressed.
At the 7:58 mark of the
period, Duxbury had its first
serious scoring bid when Evan
Jackson fired a shot on goal-
tender Zac Rondeau after get-
ting tied up on his first attempt
out front. It was one of just
a few (4) scoring chances the
Dragons had in the first period
and the rebound triggered a
Duxbury Clipper
transition attack by Cathedral
that resulted in a Matthews
save through a screen of play-
ers in front.
The rest of the period was
controlled by the Panthers, who
out-shot the Dragons by a 9-4
margin, yet just maintained a
slim 1-0 lead after 15 minutes.
It was much of the same in
the second period, as Cathe-
dral’s Thomas Quinlan fired
point-blank on Matthews less
than a minute into the period.
The pressure continued in the
Duxbury defensive end, as the
Panthers drew a penalty 17
seconds later. Cathedral moves
the puck around on the power-
play as well as any team in high
school hockey. A pass went
deep into the zone to senior
forward Sean Kavanaugh, who
was stationed to Matthews’
right. Dante Christofori came
barreling in from Matthews
left and took a pass across the
crease from Kavanaugh and
buried it past Matthews for a
2-0 lead.
The action stayed in the
Duxbury end for most of the
period, as Crinella walked out
of the corner and was robbed
by Matthews to keep the Drag-
ons in the game. But 44 sec-
onds later it was becoming a
grind for Duxbury, when they
trailed 3-0 on a beautiful top-
shelf shot by senior forward
Matt Peloquin, who was as-
sisted by defenseman Griffin
Foley at the 10:45 mark.
The Dragons would get
consecutive power-plays mid-
way through the period, but
their offensive struggles con-
tinued while the Panthers al-
most scored shorthanded on
the second one. Duxbury’s
futility would finally end with
2:04 left in the middle period,
not by scoring a goal, but by
registering their first shot on
net of the period that would
yield just two.
Trailing by three goals with
15 minutes to go was almost an
impossible task to overcome,
and it was made even more
difficult when the Panthers put
two more goals on the board in
the middle of the period for an
eventual 5-0 win.

“We knew it was going to
take as perfect a game as pos-
sible,” said Coach John Blake.
“They were more skilled than
us and when you make a mis-
take it’s going to end up in the
back of the net. We didn’t do
great with our coverages out
front and we know they always
look to the slot as an option.
We know about their power-
play and it has to be one of the
best in the state. They move
the puck well and know where
each other is all the time. They
had a couple of power-play
goals and when you make a
mistake against someone like
that you are going to be in
trouble. We made too many
tonight. Offensively, we just
couldn’t penetrate. We wanted
to get more pucks on net, but
we just couldn’t.”
The Dragons ended the
season with a 9-8-8 record and
the game marked the end of
the high school hockey careers
of seniors Stephan Krall, Nick
Buonvicino, Kane Haffey,
Bryan Barry, Pat Sweeney, Tim
Matthews, and James Magner.

CALMING EFFECT: Duxbury’s Briana Connolly gives the Lady Dragons a comfortable 3-0 lead.
Girls in DII state finals
continued from page one
While Duxbury’s lack of
scoring was frustrating, they
took great solace in the de-
fense of Findley, Caroline
Shaunessy, Keri Gould and
Ally Hammel, who held the
Patriots to no shots on net that
altered their game plan the rest
of the way.
Another goal would calm
any jitters the Duxbury fans
still had, and Briana Connolly
did her best to eliminate those
worries quickly. Racing down
the right side and around the
net, Connolly fed a pass to
Hannah Murphy out front.
Murphy’s shot left a rebound
to Haller’s right, where Con-
nolly stood to knock home the
puck for a 3-0 lead just 22 sec-
onds into the second period.
Even a power play 37 sec-
onds later could do little to
jump-start the C-C offense, as
the Patriot coaching staff de-
cided that the only way they
could score would be to utilize
a floater at the Duxbury blue
line.
It did little to help the Pa-
triots, as it opened up the ice
more for the Lady Dragons,
who continued to wheel in
the Patriot’s zone and control
play.
Back-to-back penalties
against Duxbury gave C-C
its first real chance for some
offense with 4:12 remaining
in the period. A five-on-three
man advantage for 1:02 would
generate the Patriot’s first shot
on net in the game with 3:48
showing on the clock. No
sooner had the penalties ended
when Briana Connolly went to
