No go for
combo plan?
Group reconsidering cemetery
plan for public safety building
By Justin Graeber, Clipper Editor
justin@duxburyclipper.com
Facing opposition from
the cemetery trustees and eco-
nomic concerns, the Public
Safety Building Study Com-
mittee is leaning away from
building a combined police
and fire station on Mayflower
Cemetery land.
Despite an opinion from
the town’s lawyer that there is
no legal reason the combined
public safety station can’t be
built on cemetery land, mem-
bers of the committee are con-
sidering whether or not the
town has the stomach for the
larger project.
Selectman Andre Martec-
chini, who sits on the study
committee, said Monday his
group is leaning toward sup-
porting the less expensive op-
tion of building a new police
station and refurbishing the
existing fire station.
“We’re trying to come up
with a project that will get
passed,” Martecchini said.
The study committee put
three articles on the annual
Town Meeting warrant: one
to build the combined facility
at a cost of $14.3 million, one
to build a new police station
off Mayflower Street at a cost
of $7.75 million and one to
renovate the existing fire sta- AMAZING ART AT ALDEN: Cameron Christenson next to his winning photo entitled “Celestial Trio in

Weather Reflections
For the first time in many weeks, we experienced above normal
temperatures last week. This reduced our snow cover to just a
trace, as we saw bare ground for the first time since late December.
At this time, the NWS is predicting return to cooler than normal
temperatures for the last part of the month after this current trend
of temps above normal.

Duxbury Thrift Shop news
O
By Emily Caleskie, Clipper Contributor
ur Board of Direc-
tors had a dream for
a bigger and better
Duxbury Thrift Shop. As you
know, our dream came true!
From the crowds of happy
people coming in to the shop
this past month, it appears you
love it as much as we do!
In the five days it took for
us to sort, pack up and move
to our new location, we were
helped along the way by many
volunteers; friends and fami-
lies gathered to help make
it happen! Most of all, we
would like to extend our heart-
felt thanks Officer Tommy
Johnson for organizing a ter-
rific group of energetic high
school students involved in
football, swim team, and Na-
tional Honor Society, as well
as CCD’rs and dancers from
Kelly Youngstroms’s “Gotta
Dance Studio.”
The morning of our move
(Jan. 3), these young folks
rallied way before their usual
weekend wake-up bell and
worked their hearts out for us
– so hard that, by lunch time
that day, the old store had been
emptied completely! We are
extremely grateful for their
enthusiasm.
We are proud of our new
location. We are busier than
Duxbury Thrift Shop President Lydia Hart and Vice President Renee
Beaty were encouraged by the turnout at the shop’s grand opening in
its new location in January.
we could have ever imagined
and have added many new
volunteers to our existing list
to compensate for this. Please
feel free to stop in (or call us
at 781-934-9014) and let us
know if you would like to add
your name to the list to be
called when the need arises.
Love is a circle ... the more
you give, the more it comes
around. If you join us, you
will make many new friends,
have a lot of fun, and be a part
of creating more scholarships

American cities was
the father of the skyscraper—
Daniel Hudson Burnham
(1846-1912)—who traced his
lineage back to two of the Alden
children, Elizabeth and Ruth.
Burnham was born in Henderson,
New York on Sept, 4 , 1846. He
joined architect John Wellborn
Root in 1873 to establish one of Alden descendent Daniel

& Root. Burnham & Root’s
development of the structural innovation of the skyscraper
included the four-story Reliance Building in Chicago (1890;
increased to 13 stories in 1895) with terracotta facing material
that provided the model for the steel-and-glass
skyscrapers of the 1890s.
Burnham & Root was selected to
coordinate the construction of the World’s
Columbian Exposition in Chicago (1893),
but Root died suddenly in 1891, and
Charles Follen McKim of McKim, Mead
Macdonald
& White (which designed Plymouth Rock’s
canopy) took his place. In 1891 Burnham
& Wood
established the firm of D. H. Burnham, which became D.
H. Burnham & Co. in 1896. He was elected president of the
American Institute of Architects in 1894. After his World’s
Fair success, Burnham undertook many other significant
architectural projects including New York’s dramatic Flatiron
Building and Washington, D.C.’s Union Station.
Burnham’s vision, embodying the defining twentieth-
century American sentiment of “think big,” is evident in his
famous quote:
“Make no little plans; they have no magic to stir men’s
blood and probably themselves will not be realized. Make big
plans; aim high in hope and work, remembering that a noble,
logical diagram once recorded will not die, but long after we
are gone be a living thing, asserting itself with ever-growing
insistence.”

Scrapbooking at Sunday Salon
The Duxbury Free Library presented Christine Ward and her program “Superlative Scrapbooking.”
Ward, an artist and crafts instructor, discussed organization, materials, color, composition and page
layout for those interested in starting this rewarding pastime. Here, Ward assists Carolyn Schindler
with her project.
Former coach Arana granted

children while his wife was
vacationing in Europe, and he
allegedly assaulted the 14 and
15-year-old sisters, who were
friends of his daughter.
On Friday, the Massachu-
setts Supreme Judicial Court
overturned the rape charges,
but upheld the charge of pro-
viding alcohol to minors.
The case now goes back
to Superior Court, where a
spokeswoman for District At-
torney Timothy Cruz said he
will be re-tried.
The reversal stems from
a rule known as “first com-
plaint,” that deals with witness
testimony in sexual assault
cases, according to Arana’s ap-
pellate attorney, Robert Shaw.
When a sexual assault vic-
tim tells someone about the at-
tack, that person is known as
the “first complaint” and their
testimony is allowed in court,
even though in some circum-
stances that would be consid-
ered hearsay. However, Shaw
said the judge in Arana’s case,
Charles Grabau, was too lib-
eral with the application of the
first complaint rule.
“There were numerous
errors where there were vio-
lations in the doctrine that
we felt were highly prejudi-
cial against Jose Arana,” said

He pointed to the testimo-

Round and round they go
Still no resolution to Duxbury Crossing fines
By Justin Graeber, Clipper Editor
justin@duxburyclipper.com
The members of the Zon-
ing Board of Appeals and the
lawyer for Duxbury Crossing
developer Charles Tringale
continued their legal boxing
match on Thursday, with nei-
ther side appearing to move
closer to a resolution.
Tringale and his attorney,
Peter Freeman, have been
vigorously disputing the le-
gality of fines imposed on the
developer in 2004 for over-
clearing trees on the land for
the 40B development off En-
terprise and Careswell streets.
The fines now total $83,000,
according to ZBA Chairman
Dennis Murphy.
The comprehensive permit
for Duxbury Crossing, a 20-
home development, has been
approved except for some
outstanding waivers, but the
board has been reluctant to
grant those until the fine issue
has been resolved. The board
and Freeman have been go-
ing back and forth on the issue
since August of last year, with
no clear progress being made.
“It’s black and white,”
said Freeman Thursday of the
fine. “It is so illogical and not
consistent with the history and
with 40B.”
Tringale was issued a
cease-and-desist order in May
of 2004 after he allegedly cut
more than 30,000 square feet
of trees on the property. In
September of that year, he was
sent a letter by then Director
of Inspectional Services Rich-
ard MacDonald imposing the
fine –– which has continued to
accrue since then.
Freeman pointed to a
particular ruling in the 2007
comprehensive permit where
the Zoning Board declined to
take a stance on the fee issue,
saying it was outside their ju-
risdiction. Freeman maintains
the intention of the board was
to waive the fee. Complicating
this matter is that the ZBA is a
completely new board, and no
one on the current board was
involved in the issuance of
that permit.
“I don’t think it was their
intention,” said David Mar-
socci. “I think if it was they
would have used more specific
language.”

Newcomers Club house tour
seeks stops for spring tour
The Duxbury Newcomers’ Club is organizing its annual
Spring House Tour scheduled to take place in early May.  A
tradition for more than 20 years, several homes around Dux-
bury representing different periods and styles are featured on
the tour.  The homeowners open their homes for self-guided
tours by ticket holders. Each homeowner chooses a char-
ity and the proceeds of the tour are divided evenly between
the homes and donated to the designated charities. Our 2008
house tour drew in over two hundred people and more than
$6,000. This is a great opportunity to contribute to your fa-
vorite charity and support your community.  If you would like
your home to be featured on the tour, please contact Megan

“When he was told to stop,
he stopped,” Freeman said. He
also said his client was follow-
ing “a rough plan” and did not
overcut intentionally.
“He wasn’t going in there
like a complete maverick,”
he said. He also questioned
whether the amount of trees
cut was in fact over 30,000
square feet, but Murphy said
that was an issue for the Plan-
ning Board.
Tringale presented a com-
promise to the board, saying
he would replant 150 trees
between his project and neigh-
bors.
“I’ve been here twice with
my attorney, that’s more than
the trees,” Tringale said.
He said that the additional
cost of the fines would hurt his
project, which is already suf-
fering because of the econom-
ic downturn.
“The project is marginal,”
he said. “But I can still build
it.”
Some board members
thought the act of compromise
implied guilt, something Free-
man vehemently denied.
“This looks like a peace of-
fering, I did something wrong,
and here’s a peace offering.”

However, Martecchini said
even those numbers are being
looked at to make the projects
more palatable to voters.
“We feel we really need to
come away with some proj-
ects,” he said. “Those build-
ings are code violations just
waiting to rear their ugly
heads.”

AD-36! I think that this study could very well be the answer to
the economic stimulus this country needs; the very impetus that
brings consumers back to the grocery aisles, fast food lanes and

Furthermore, the lot they are

burial purposes approximately
a century ago. I am sure many

it to the town in my will if I do
not have the utmost confidence
that my wishes will be respect-
ed? If the town ignores a long-
dead donor’s wishes now, they
are establishing a precedent for
ignoring a donor’s wishes in the
future. So much of this town
has been built via gifts. If we
dishonor past donors, we risk
losing future donors, and that
we cannot afford.

proposed but never achieved.
If the parcel is developable
for cemetery uses, development
costs could add up to millions
of dollars. Should it be found
undevelopable, the cemetery
would run out of land by 2034.
As I mentioned, the parcel
the committee is proposing to
take is integrally part of the cur-
rent cemetery’s land. Construc-
tion on that site –– adjacent to
current burial lots –– will make
Mayflower Cemetery less ap-
pealing as a burial ground,
thus cutting further into future
revenues. All these additional
monies –– lost revenues, devel-
opment costs, etc. –– should be
considered part of the total cost
of the combined facility.
Lastly, the parcel targeted
for the combined station was
donated to the town specifically
to be used as Mayflower Cem-
etery burial ground. It is imper-
ative that the town respect the
wishes of those kind enough to
donate land. To not do so will
deter future donations.
We are morally obligated to
prevent the desecration of cem-
etery land. Please come to the
Selectmen’s meeting on Feb.
23 to voice your concerns re-
garding the police/fire facility.

Duxbury adopted the
Community Preserva-

with examining and approving
applications for CPA funds, has

Twenty-five CPA sup-

assessments.
His idea for cutting back
the assessment is the best pro-
posal I’ve heard this year. With
the town looking to fund a new
school roof, a new public safe-
ty center (police/fire station),
and the swimming pool re-con-
struction, where is the money
going to come from? Its easy
for all these public officials to
ask for money, they don’t have
to come up with the money. We
do, the Duxbury taxpayers.
This investment is producing a high return
I
urge you to vote NO on
the Town Meeting ar-
ticle to reduce the CPA
surcharge.
Duxbury voters over-
whelmingly agreed to adopt
CPA to preserve our beautiful
Duxbury for a small addition-
al annual surcharge. Voters at
town meetings have approved
CPA funding for over twen-
ty-five significant projects in
Duxbury. This has included
preserving open space, histori-
cal preservation, developing
community housing and recre-
ational improvements.
In prior decades, Duxbury
town meeting voters have ap-
proved projects to preserve the
town. Before the CPA, projects
were solely paid by the town
taxpayers and often included

them have this fundamental

approximately $5 million, was
received in additional state and

For many of the projects,
the CPA provided funds to get

years of financing, so taxpay-
ers paid 100 percent of the cost
plus interest.
With the CPA, between the
state match and funds donated
from other sources, Duxbury
taxpayers have paid less than
50 percent of the costs with no
long term borrowing costs.
Like me, you may not have
supported every project that has
been approved. That’s how the
CPA was conceived – serving
multiple needs. In retrospect,
some of the projects I did not

the largest fully funded (with
a 50 percent match from the
Commonwealth) CPA project
($3.1 million) was the restora-
tion of the town-owned Wright
Building, which had been taken
out of service and closed.
All of these projects have
helped to “preserve our com-
munity” just as the Massachu-
setts Community Preservation
Act intended. In Duxbury, be-
cause we have stretched our
CPA dollars well beyond the
state match, we have not only
helped to preserve our com-
munity, we have enhanced it.
In 2009 the state match is pre-
dicted to drop to 35 percent. In
this time of global economic
upheaval, there are few places
offering a 35 percent return on
your money. If Duxbury reduc-
es the 3 percent CPA surcharge
next year, those hundreds of
thousands of dollars in match-
ing funds will be distributed to
other CPA communities with
the foresight and vision to sup-
port the Community Preserva-

We all pay significant prop-
erty taxes to fund town opera-

the tax money is gone and there
is nothing left to show for the
future. The CPA is our little in-
vestment kitty.
While I definitely could
use my $183 CPA surcharge
fee elsewhere, it is a very small
investment, producing a very
high return, to ensure that we
preserve and enhance Duxbury
for the future.
Please support this continu-

CPA defenders
miss the point
A
By James J. Sullivan, Jr.
s one of the resident signers of the Citizens
Petition to reduce/redirect the CPA 3 percent tax,
I found the recent Clipper editorial opposing this
proposal to be concerningly inconsistant and confusing to the
general readership. Of the many ambiguous points in the piece
that warrant response, I am limiting my comments to but a few
items, to avoid further distraction from the real issue.
The editorial acknowledges that tax relief is necessary, and
yet inexplicably goes on to claim that the Citizen’s Petition is
“myopic” and “illogical.” In fact, it is the only Town Meeting
article that actually reduces residents’ taxes, to the tune of
$1.2 million a year! And, adding to the logic of the reduction
proposal, this tax relief may enhance the possibility of passage
of several critically needed projects, including replacing a
faulty school roof, public safety buildings considerations,
etc.,(which also create needed jobs!)
Unbelievably, the Clipper

E-mail: editor@duxburyclipper.com
Mail: P.O. Box 1656, Duxbury, MA 02331 CPA fund. Since 2001, some of
the $13,000,000-plus (wow!)
in the Duxbury CPA fund was
used for some beneficial projects. (And, as of now, we likely
collectively own enough town land to create another town!)
Now, however, the fund is apparently seen as a “pot of gold”
fund, attracting certain low priority, “whatever”, projects. One
such is the very questionable $600,000 proposed expenditure
for renovation (not restoration!) of a superfluous Tarkiln
building, of no real benefit to the town. It is promoted by the
fact that, as one of the spokespersons said, “the money is
there, we might as well spend it.” Dangerous! Given the dire
individual and institutional financial situation, this advice is
fiscally irresponsible.
The editorial also critically states that the petition’s main
argument is economic. Obviously, the Clipper has missed
that reality….“Yes, it is all about the economy!” Residents
and the Town Financial Administration currently have a very
different priority focus in contrast to the flush economy of 2001
when the CPA was passed. When the financial ship is sinking,
prompt/effective ‘bailout’ must be undertaken, such as reducing
this 3 percent tax. The ribbon cuttings must be postponed, off
into the future!
And, the point that the reduction would not begin until next
year, is weak and specious, at best, and of minor impact in the
overall picture. At least, tax relief will happen! Additionally,
any debt payback on the potentially approved override articles
would not begin until that same time. Notably, the $1.2 million
CPA redirection could totally cover the annual principal and
interest project cost of borrowing. And, all of which can be
revisited in the future, if town residents ever again decide to
increase their CPA taxes.
As was seen in the side bar of the editorial, the responders
to the Clipper survey on the subject appear to clearly
understand the issue. With over 75 percent indicating approval
of the need for significant reduction in the CPA tax, the
attendees at the Town Meeting on 3/14 have an excellent
opportunity to control their own tax and spending situation. Be
there!

Taking advantage of Sci-

Hingham on Tuesday night,
the Dragons walked right
through the door that the Sail-
ors opened and took home the
Patriot League crown by vir-
tue of their 76-56 win over
Whitman-Hanson on Thurs-
day night in Whitman.
Led by Mark Brust’s 26
points, and double figure scor-
ing from Sam Davidson (14),
Ian Whitney (12) and Brian
Grossman (10), the Dragons
came out of the box on fire
and built an 8-0 lead in the
first two minutes.
Three consecutive three-
pointers by Brust gave Dux-
bury its biggest lead of the half
at 22-9, only to have the Pan-
thers whittle it away to 24-16
at the end of the first quarter.
Grossman opened the sec-
ond quarter with a steal and
basket, and Whitney canned
consecutive baseline jumpers
to keep Duxbury in the lead at
35-25.

Midway through the third
quarter the lead jumped to

Coach Bob Rodgers to call a
timeout in hopes of stopping
the bleeding.
When play resumed Dux-

baskets by Aaron Kramer had

break with 4:44 remaining and
Brust immediately canned a
three-pointer to get his team
back on track to a 10-2 run,
allowing Cushing to go to his
bench for the final 1:53.
“That was a good team we
beat tonight. If they played

Cure vacation fever Dragons Winter Sports Schedule

continued from page one
school busses rumble again. Four days to keep slap-happy kids
occupied and to avoid old Jed and Hannah’s alternative cure for
rabbit fever: cannibalism. Here’s a tongue-in-cheek suggestion
for the remainder of the week, an idea guaranteed to get you
through the valley of valleys before the weather finally turns
and you can set the little angels out to graze.
Take a mini-vacation! Real vacations don’t apply here.
People who actually go off to Disneyland (the real one in Ana-
heim) or Chamonix (the real one in the Alps) don’t need mini-
vacations, and they don’t get cabin fever. Those left behind
can try the following:
Lock the doors and turn out the lights, in-house style. This
method is effective for avoiding rotten relatives, creditors, or
both. It usually involves the whole house, but can be adapted
for avoiding children, spouses, and certain pets. When your
target is occupied and out of sight (in the shower, for example)
call out, “I’ll be back – I’m off to the store!” If possible, clunk
the front door as if you’ve left the house. Go back to bed
instead. Lock the bedroom door, and enjoy. Prepositioned
snacks, beverages, and more snacks can enable the vacationer
to stretch this escape into hours, possibly even days. Videos
and the like will require headphones to avoid detection, but
an iPod can now enable full-length films, favorite television
shows and all the music your children can’t stand hearing.
Pitfalls? Smart children will check the driveway for the
car. Move it first. Auto-relocations of as little as ten to twenty
feet can throw children off the scent, and make later hollow
apologies more convincing. (“What do mean, you thought I
was still gone? Look, the car’s right at the end of the driveway,
behind the hedge! No, no, down there. See? Look under the
bush. That’s my tire.”)
Dogs present another pitfall. They’re harder to fool than
children. It’s said that they can smell your shirking. They’ll
scratch at the door of your forbidden sanctuary and give you
up. Man’s best friend, indeed! On the other hand, train them
well and they’ll draw the kids off the scent. Scatter fake bacon
around the house. Concentrate the distracters away from your
hideaway. A few bacon chips hidden at the other end of the
house can keep dogs busy and away from you for hours. When
you finally emerge, you can add to the effect by nagging at the
children for not taking Bowser for a walk.
Cell phone! It’s not enough to turn yours off. Hiding
from your children (or spouse) in plain sight requires think-
ing outside the box. Keep your cell phone on, fully charged,
but secretly drop it into the caller’s pocket, or another family
member’s. When they call your number to hunt you down, the
dead end will be obvious.
“Oh, man, I was looking for that,” you can whine. “That
must be why you didn’t call me. You did? Wow, I’m so sorry.”
Meanwhile, try to remember that it’s only four more days
before those big yellow busses come to take your little angels
away. Magic busses.
Ready, set, Go!

Open house at the Tarklin March 7 BOYS TRACK

A chance to see what the
many hours of work donated
by volunteers have accom-
plished and to become better
acquainted with the Tarkiln
Community Center is offered
at an Open House scheduled
from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. on
Saturday, March 7.
The historic twin school-
house structure has now been

see the original chalkboards,
bead and batten walls, pressed
tin ceilings, wooden floor,
original windows and doors,
still remaining. All members
of the community are invited.
Children may enjoy the origi-
nal schoolhouse chairs, quite
different from those used, to-

Swimmers are Patriot League champs

Chiasson leads boys with victories in individuals and relays at Quincy
By Candida Brush
Clipper Contributor
It was business as usual
for the boys’ swim team, as it
cruised to the Patriot League
title by more than 100 points
over Hingham and Scituate.
After narrowly missing a vic-
tory last year, the Dragons left
no doubt that they were the
2009 champions, amassing
358 points in a victory that
featured Hunter Chiasson win-
ning two individual titles and
contributing to wins in two
relays.  tling for second in 23.38. Hus-
Duxbury took a command-
ing lead in the first event, as
Chiasson teamed with Cam
Crowell, Jon Ng and Bernardo
Neves to dust Hingham and

lay, putting 32 points on the
board.  in the 100-yard butterfly.  All
Next up was the 200-yard
freestyle where Art Su was
able to break out of the pack to
place fourth (2:01.80), only a
second out of first. Drew Hus-
ted took sixth, Ben White was
eighth and Ben Potash finished
ninth.  Even with four swim-
mers in the top 10, Duxbury’s
lead was only three points.
Chiasson was determined
to take control and give his
team some breathing room,
as he stepped to the blocks for
the 200-yard IM next to Hing-
ham’s Colin Mulachy. The
two swimmers raced stroke
for stroke to the wall in what
looked like a tie. However, the
scoreboard showed Chiasson
won by 2/100 of a second in
a time of 2:06.72. Even better,
Lucas Wojciekowski  touched
third and Ben Zelvis was
sixth, giving Duxbury a 30-
point lead.
Next up was the 50-yard
freestyle with 29 sprinters
ready to hit the water.  Neves
was in the last heat where all
swimmers had seed times un-

through the water but was just

she busted out a season-low

Lauren Wilson captured ninth.
The final event was the 400-

again, Pipp, Riddle, Buckley

from start to finish, winning
by 10 seconds (4:00.28).
“We have a lot of depth and

“Both of those ingredients led

leave the court at halftime with
a 54-21 lead.
Everyone contributed in
the first half, with Garrity
proving he can be a defensive
force and put the ball in the
basket, scoring seven points
and raising havoc defensively.
Brust (10), Grossman (13), and
Mike Casal (11) joined Garrity
in dominating first-half play.
Play became ragged in
the third quarter after Dux-

somewhat competitive.

Wrestlers take four titles

By Wendy Genereux,
Clipper Contributor
The Duxbury Wrestling
Team competed in the Divi-
sion II South Sectionals held at
North Attleboro High School
on Saturday, and finished
third overall behind Somerset
and North Attleboro. While
Duxbury’s third place finish
qualifies them for the team
sectionals on Tuesday, more
importantly, the Dragons will
be sending eight wrestlers to
States on Friday.
Four of those eight wres-
tlers won championships, and
two were runner-ups. Dux-
bury’s Tim Donoghue repeat-
ed as Sectional Champion in
the 103 lbs. weight class. The
junior grappler didn’t break
a sweat as he was aided by a
forfeit in the first round, and
pinned his Plymouth North
opponent in 42 seconds before
winning a 12-2 major deci-
sion over North Attleboro’s
Shane LeBlanc in the semi
finals. Donoghue’s good for-
tune continued in the finals
when Somerset’s Dylan McK-
enna suffered a concussion in
the semis, and was forced to
default, giving Donoghue the
championship.
Senior Captain Colin
McKenzie cruised into the
finals with a first period pin
of Nauset’s Eli Enos in the
quarterfinals, and a 5-0 deci-
sion over Whitman-Hanson’s
James Peterson in the semi fi-
nals before facing off against
Marshfield’s Brendan Meehan
in the 140 lbs. championship
bout. McKenzie got the first
takedown before a Meehan es-
cape had the score at 2-1. An-
other takedown by the Dux-
bury captain and a subsequent
escape by Meehan was the
pattern to begin the match, un-
til McKenzie took Meehan to
the mat and earned two back
points. The four-point move
put McKenzie in the driver’s
seat en route to a 12-4 major
decision, and another Duxbury
championship.
Next up for Duxbury in the
finals was senior captain John-
ny Barrett who pinned his first
three opponents before meet-
ing Mansfield’s Jim Gilmore
in the 152 lbs. weight class.
After the two wrestlers spent
most of the first period trying
to set up a takedown, Barrett
was awarded the two points
after successfully fending off
a Gilmore attempt. With a 2-0
lead heading into the second
period, Barrett chose bottom,
and earned a one-point es-
cape. Both wrestlers could not
muster a takedown for the re-
mainder of the period, and the
score remained 3-0 at the end
of two. Barrett rode legs for

opponents, including one of
Marshfield’s top wrestlers in
Tommy Pomella. Genereux
faced off against Sharon’s Jeff
Enos in the Finals. Genereux
deferred in the second and the
Mansfield senior chose neu-
tral, which proved costly for
Enos who was quickly taken
down and tilted for three back
points. Another point for stall-
ing gave the Duxbury captain
a comfortable 6-0 lead en
route to an 8-0 major decision
and the championship.
Duxbury also had two
back-to-back runner-ups in se-
nior captain Justin Carroll and
senior Kyle Scola. Carroll had
an 11-4 major decision in the
quarterfinals over Mansfield’s
Henry Larose before upset-
ting Whitman-Hanson’s Ryan
Stephansky in the semi finals
with an exciting 5-4 decision.
Unfortunately for the senior
captain, Somerset’s Eric Fran-
cis was too much for him in the
finals, controlling the match
from start to finish with a 12-2
major decision.
It was the same result for
Kyle Scola (135 lbs.) who had
pinned his first two opponents,
and had a nail biting 7-6 de-
cision over Marshfield’s Pat-
rick McGrath in the semifinals
before taking the mat against
one of the best wrestlers in the
state in Isaac Mello. The Som-
erset captain showed why he’s
tough to beat, getting three
sets of back points en route to
a 16-1 technical fall, and the
championship.
Also heading to States next
Friday in North Andover are
senior Zach Sanchez (145) and
junior John McGeady (160)
who were both major factors
in Duxbury’s third place fin-
ish. Freshman Brendan Gillis
also wrestled well, earning a
sixth place finish.

less enthusiasm, professionalism, and work ethic is an inspiration not only to her fellow team members and office colleagues, but clients alike.”
