Duxbury attorney named to Helping Our Clients to Make Good Decisions Since 1967

By Helen Kelly, Special to the Clipper
his month, the At-
lantic Symphony
Orchestra officially
welcomed Duxbury attorney
Jim Hartford to their Board of
Directors.
Hartford said he was de-
lighted by the invitation and
excited about the opportunity
to contribute.
“I first heard the ASO
perform last year in April,”
he said. “I saw vibrant young
musicians who were also high-
ly skilled, very excited about
playing their instruments and
invested in mastering some of
the most challenging pieces in
the musical literature. I wanted
to be part of this organization
and help it grow.”
The timing was just right.
In prior years, ASO board
members had been music lov-
ers or musicians, principally
involved with the choice of
programs. The orchestra re-
lied on word of mouth for new
donors. Today’s ASO board
is a more typical nonprofit
board comprising people with
a range of experience, a wide
variety of perspectives and an
adventurous spirit.
Hartford fits the bill on vir-
tually all counts. He is open to
possibilities — and this open-
ness showed up early on. At his
high school, there was a small

radio station. After a couple of
visits, and news of an open-
ing, Hartford took over a clas-
sical music show along with
responsibility for choosing
themes, matching time frames
and piece lengths and making
up playlists.
Hartford said he has al-
ways loved all manner of mu-
sic from classical to country
and bluegrass. He played the
clarinet from fifth through
10th grade and for a few years
played with the school orches-
tra.
“I also tried to learn the
violin,” Hartford said, smiling
as he remembered. “I inherited
a violin from my grandfather.
The instrument itself was so
beautiful it was inspiring, so I
tried. It wasn’t a great success
but I worked at it. After all, it’s

DBP’s ‘Ed Night’ at DBMS

On Wednesday, Feb. 16 at 7:30 p.m. at the Duxbury Bay
Maritime School, the Duxbury Beach Preservation Society, a
subcommittee of the Duxbury Beach Reservation, Inc., launches
another exciting year of events. This year for their “Ed Night,”
they will host Norman Smith, Director of the Blue Hills Trail-
side Museum and the Norman Smith Environmental Education
Center. Smith will speak about his work with snowy owls and
other shore birds.
Did you know that the snowy owls seen on Duxbury Beach
have been moved from Boston’s Logan International Airport,
and that Smith is the one who traps them and transports them to
our beach? Come learn about these beautiful creatures from an
expert who has spent countless days and nights, in all weather
conditions, observing, capturing, banding, and color marking
the owls. For the last several years, Norm has also been banding
ospreys in Duxbury and other towns.
As a self-taught naturalist and member of the Massachusetts
Audubon Society for the last 35 years, Smith has studied birds
of prey, rehabilitated the injured, and successfully fostered over
1,000 orphaned hawk and owl chicks into adoptive nests. In ad-
dition to his work with owls at Logan Airport, he has traveled
to Alaska to study snowy owls in their native tundra habitat.
His research work has been published in National Geographic,
National Wildlife, Ranger Rick, Yankee, Massachusetts Wild-
life, Bird Observer, Birding, Sanctuary, Geo, Nature, Grolier
Encyclopedia, Owls of the Northern Hemisphere and Owls of
the World.
Admission is free, and light refreshments will be served. For
further information, call 781-934-2907.

Easter food baskets. This year we have 56 children to serve and
so far have only 26 signed up for. If your troop can help us out, 781 934 5292
please let Joan know. Bags will be available, along with a list of W I E M E Y E R D E N T I S T R Y. C O M
items to include, the first part of March. This is a nice service
project for the girls to do at this beautiful time of the year. Ques-
tions? You can call or e-mail Joan with any questions you may
have.
Bowling Party: We will again be sponsoring a Disco Bowl-
ing Party at the Alley Kat Lanes in Kingston. The date is March
26 and all troop sign-ups must be received by March 15. Lead-
ers are encouraged to check the Web page for more info. This is
always a well-attended event and is open to all of the girls.
100th Anniversary Service Project: At our last Leaders’
Meeting, we voted to proceed with plans to address the founda-
tion plantings around some of the buildings at the Duxborough
Village Senior Housing on Chestnut Street as a service project
to help celebrate the 100th Anniversary of Girl Scouting. How
many areas we can do will be determined by the number of
troops participating, but we are hoping to start this spring with
a spring clean-up and planting day and then do bulb planting in
the fall. This is a great way to make this special anniversary of
Girl Scouting more meaningful for your girls and to help us give
back to the community. If your troop would be able to partici-
pate, please let Joan know. We are also looking for people (they PLYMOUTH, MA. NEW LISTING! DUXBURY, MA.

Back when I was a junior

Services exchange program.
We decided to host a Turkish
student named Selen for a year.
And, while we considered this
decision carefully, we had no
idea what we were getting
ourselves into. It’s been seven
years since Selen left, but she

In the years following this two-

often, hoping in some abstract
sense that I would somehow,
someday be able to return.
In 2008 I spent the semes-

but before going I proposed a
two-week research project to
my American college. With

In the summer of 2004, I

ed me and, as my last year of
college approached, I decided
to apply to the Fulbright Com-
mission to work and research
in Turkey.
So here I am, five months
into my ten-month stint here.
I work as an English instruc-

hausting and at times painfully
difficult, but this is a once-in-

opportunity to interact with

The major seats in town goverment won’t see much of a challenge in this year’s election. Ted Flynn will
run unopposed for Betsy Sullivan’s seat on the Board of Selectmen, and Anne Ward and Maureen Connolly
will both retain their seats on the School Committee, barring a successful write-in campagin.
Final ballot set for town election
Selectman, School Committee seats uncontested
By Justin Graeber, Clipper Editor
justin@duxburyclipper.com
Duxbury, meet your next
selectman –– Ted Flynn.
Barring a write-in cam-
paign, Flynn will win the
election to replace outgoing
selectman Betsy Sullivan,
who announced last year she
would not seek re-election.
Election 2011
Flynn is a former mem-
ber of the Board of Library
Trustees (he stepped down to
seek the selectman’s seat). He
had been on that board since
1988. He has also served on
the Town Management Study
Committee, which brought
the town manager form of
government to Duxbury, and
the Solid Waste Advisory
Committee, which brought
recycling to town. He has
also served on the School
Committee and several other
boards.
The two School Com-
mittee candidates, current
chairwoman Anne Ward and
Maureen Connolly, will also
easily win re-election (again,
barring a write-in cam-
paign.)

Clancy said that the po-
lice station isn’t just outdated.
It was built by a private con-
tractor, using non-commercial
building materials and tech-
niques. It isn’t as durable as
commercial-grade buildings
constructed around the same
time. In fact, the station’s sec-
ond floor expansion was built
by one of the department mem-
bers rather than a contractor.
Non-commercial construc-
tion means the building isn’t
built to withstand the heavy
use of a police station. Lt.
Lewis Chubb said that’s what
people are forgetting when
they compare the station to a
private home that may be old-
er but in better shape.
“A house is only occupied
by moving people about eight
hours a day,” said Chubb. At
the police station station, more
than 20 people use the build-
ing 24 hours a day.
“It’s served its purpose
well for many years ... but it’s
not built for the load it’s taken
on,” said Clancy.

she was one of those people
who had to be convinced about
the police station plans.
“I’m the person you have

“I knew it was probably out-
dated.”
The more she learned,
however, the more she real-
ized how great the need was.
“They need these build-
ings,” she said. “They’ve need-
ed them for a while and they

Every year, the town budgets $149,200 for snow and ice removal. For the past five years, Duxbury, like
most towns, has gone over budget –– or “deficit” spent –– with the exception of 2007, where the town
only spent $118,686.57.
Stacking up the snow totals
continued from page one
But how does the winter of
2010/2011 stack up to previ-
ous winters? As of last week,
it’s in the middle of the pack
(see chart on page one.) How-
ever, the season is hardly over.
January 2011 saw 21.5 inches
of snow fall on Duxbury, sec-
ond only to the the whopping
55.6 inches that hit town in
January of 2005, which might
be why it has felt like such a
whitewash.
DPW Director Peter Butt-
kus said that this winter sea-
son, his crews have seen seven
plowable storms and have per-
formed 23 sanding operations.
The snow totals so far for
the year are 13.3 inches for
December and 21.5 inches for
January, according to local
weather watcher Wayne He-
ward. Last year, Duxbury saw
47.4 inches from December
through March.
“Heavy wet snow brings the most problems. You’ve got
tree damage, you’ve got lines down ... the snow’s heavy
to move, it takes its toll on the equipment.”
–– DPW Director Peter Buttkus
Heward said that since
he’s been measuring snow
(starting in 1984), the high-
est total snowfall was during
the 1995/1996 season – 103.6
inches.
Buttkus remembered that
season being particularly dif-
ficult for highway crews.
“Those years were crazy
years,” he said.
The lowest was 12.7 inch-
es in 2001/2002, according to
Heward.
Duxbury, like most towns,
historically sets a low number
for the snow and ice removal
budget. That is because towns
can “deficit spend” this line
item ––  meaning they can
spend more than what’s in the
budget without having to go
back to Town Meeting, as long
as the Board of Selectmen de-
clares a snow emergency.
For the past several years,
Duxbury has budgeted a total

The heavy snowfalls are weigh-
ing on the patience of residents.
One Duxbury family had to hire
an excavation company just to

according to Finance Director
John Madden. This year, Butt-
kus said he’s asked for an ad-
ditional 105,000, which hasn’t
been exhausted yet.
Since 2006, the most the
town has spent on snow and
ice removal was $463,966.62
in 2009, according to Madden.
The only year during that pe-
riod where the budget came in
below expectations was 2007
(see chart above.)
Buttkus said that the most
difficult snow to deal with is
wet and heavy –– something
that’s happened several times
this season.
“Heavy wet snow brings
the most problems,” he said.
“You’ve got tree damage,
you’ve got lines down ... the
snow’s heavy to move, it takes
its toll on the equipment.”
Snow on trees can cre-
ate problems on narrow ru-
ral roads. Buttkus said a few
storms ago, he had to send
the department’s bucket truck
ahead of the plows just to clear
a path.
Another problem is when
the weather changes from
snow to rain. He said the de-
partment crews have to scram-
ble to keep storm drains clear
so the water has someplace to
go.

Blairhaven is used as a retreat
and for functions.
According to Morris, the
town has been eyeing this
land to buy for over a hun-
dred years. In 1895, the town
bought Howland’s Landing
and, even back then, it wanted
to further expand its hold on
the waterfront. In 1939, Mary
Blair gave the land to the
church to be used as a camp
for children.
In 1952, the town wanted
to acquire 50 feet on both sides
of Howland’s Lane and want-
ed to build a pier and dock. In
1975, the Town Landing Study
Committee recommended the
town acquire the right of first
refusal on Blairhaven.
Morris said the CPC
has been talking to the New
Union Church about buying
Blairhaven since 2003. The
property was assessed at be-
tween $3.1 million and $3.5

Boy Scout Troop 62 to host pancake breakfast DUXBURY DOGS

Boy Scout Troop 62 Duxbury invites you
to a pancake breakfast to raise money for the
the Venturing Scouts of Troop 62. Troop 62 is
very active in the community working on proj-
ects including Alden House Cleanup, Clark’s
Island Preparation and many other volunteer
efforts. Over the last couple of years the troop
has grown to over 80 scouts (between the ages
of 12-18) and has had over 15 fellow scouts
achieve the rank of Eagle, the highest rank in
scouting. In 2007 the troop established the Ven-
turing Scouts of Troop 62. This group of scouts
are between the ages of 14-18 who participate
in more high adventure trips.
Historic clothing exhibit at the library
The Historic Clothing Committee of the
Duxbury Rural and Historical Society enjoys
the ongoing partnership with the Duxbury
Free Library. The current exhibit is entitled
“Valentine Romances May Lead to June Wed-
dings.”  From February to June, four different
wedding gowns from the DRHS collection will
be featured in the museum-quality display case
constructed by local artist Craig Bloodgood that
is permanently housed in the library’s reference
area. The first exhibited gown is the wedding
gown owned by Anne Wessell Steel (b. 1857,
d.1893) and worn for her May 1, 1879 wedding
to George Arthur Piersol, great grandparents of
Duxbury resident, Nancy Morgan, whose fam-
ily summered in Duxbury.   The groom’s vest
is extant and is exhibited in the case alongside
the dress.  Also in the case are antique Victo-
rian Valentines loaned by Mary Barclay, and
a “Sailor’s Valentine” made by Lillian Bar-

Help keep a needy neighbor

warm this winter
This winter could be a difficult time for some of our
neighbors to keep their homes heated. Last year, nearly 150
families in Duxbury asked for fuel assistance from the Dux-
bury Interfaith Council and the South Shore Community
Action Council. The council depends on donations to meet
these heating needs.
Anyone can help support a new fuel assistance fund this
holiday season with the purchase of a gift certificate for “
the person who has everything.” Consider making a dona-
tion in their name to the Duxbury Fuel Assistance Fund.
Stop by The Duxbury Senior Center to purchase the deco-
rative certificate that you can give announcing that a dona-
tion had been given in the recipients name to support The
Duxbury Fuel Assistance Fund. The money raised supports
the Outreach Committee of the Duxbury Interfaith Coun-
cil, which among other things, provides fuel assistance for
those in need in our community.

POSTPONED: The auction of the former Goodrich lumber property on Railroad Avenue, which had
been scheduled for Friday morning, was pushed back to May 11 at 11 a.m.

H
aving lived through
a run-away real es-

all take a good look at what’s need-

be terrific for Duxbury to have
a beautiful state of the art High
School and Middle School for our

time? Are all of these projects
needed now?
Unfortunately, the current fi-
nancial woes of our nation and

bring a far greater financial debacle
than 2008, pushing us further into
a deeper recession or depression.

Library. These buildings have neither. Another argument
in favor of renovation is that the work could take place
during summers when students are on vacation. This theory
breaks down under scrutiny. First, summer vacation lasts
about nine weeks, not three months. While some smaller
projects might be completed in this span, nine weeks is not
enough time to stage, undergo and clean up major renovation
projects that impact every structure and system in the
building. School building renovation projects take years and
require relocation of students and staff.
Finally, renovation costs will likely increase as material
and labor costs rise over the eight to nine year renovation
time span. In contrast, new construction would lock in
current favorable building costs and be completed in 3-4
years.
These are the reasons why the School Building
Committee, after extensive study of all the options, chose
new construction. Silver Lake, Whitman-Hanson, Hanover,
North Plymouth, Norwood, Natick and East Bridgewater,
among others, made the same choice for new construction

location-anytime, anywhere.
“One of the cornerstone’s of our success has been the agent-
is-our-client principle,” says Mr. Raveis. “We are constantly
thinking of innovative ways to help agents achieve success in
a technologically demanding society. The Agent Dashboard
will help them lead the industry in effective business
management and in maintaining client relationships, pre and
post closing.”
The Agent Dashboard offers the following solutions in one,
simple interface:
1) The Agent Dashboard features comprehensive marketing
plans to incubate any type of client. Create a marketing plan
for a buyer, seller, new owner or website lead. In addition,
market during specific stages of a transaction, such as
closings. Convert prospects to leads or sellers into listing
opportunities with an Open Home Plan and a Seller Plan.
Stay connected with clients long-term with the Raveis Client
for Life Campaign and Customer for Life Campaign.
2) Manage your social media presence by adding links to
your various social media accounts directly on the homepage.
Monitor William Raveis and top industry news by adding
rss feeds to blogs and other sources.
3) Fine-tune the aesthetics and content of marketing plans
by choosing from an array of virtual postcards, such as just
listed and just sold, special occasion, birthday and holiday
e-cards.
4) The Agent Dashboard offers robust contact management.
Group contacts by the stage of the buying and selling

process. Assign “hot” or “cold” status based on timeframe to
buy or sell. Market to hot or cold clients appropriately with
automated targeted marketing plans.
5) Monitor your top sources of business, such as open
houses, floor duty, website or SOI, through the client analysis
feature.
6) Access Extensive Town Hall information. Search records
by address, street, owner’s name, tax ID or by mapping. Get
neighborhood profile information and see parcel, county,
city and zip code boundaries. Enjoy MLS integration.
7) Stay on top of the marketplace by creating customized
hotsheets that pull directly from the MLS. Using the MLS
Power Search feature, drill down search to specifics, such
as days on market, schools in the area, and square footage.
Filter search by location, producing results within a certain
vicinity. For simpler search, use an MLS Quick Search.
8) Assign clients listing notifications per their specifications.
Notifications can span multiple states, cities and towns.
“The Agent Dashboard is the culmination of more than one
year in planning and development by a team that worked
tirelessly on a conceptual as well as technical framework,”
says a proud Mr. Raveis. “This idea was founded on the
principle that agents need a more efficient system to manage
their daily business, whether they be sitting at a desk or
quickly sifting through data on a mobile device.”
Whether through a mobile phone or desktop, William Raveis
is currently focused on ensuring all agents become well
acclimated with the Dashboard. The company is holding
in-depth training sessions in all parts of the northeast to
ensure easy accessibility for nearly 3,000 agents. Perhaps
most noteworthy are the efforts William Raveis’ talented
IT department is making to aid agents in initial setup. The
department is extending its hours for several months and
giving personalized care to agents who have setup questions
on various mobile operating systems or on their computer.

Dragons lose thriller to Silver Lake

781-826-1601
alan@alanhurleyroofing.com

By Mike Halloran, Sports Editor

sports@duxburyclipper.com
Duxbury’s road to the
playoffs hit a pothole on Fri-
day night, as the Dragons let
a hard-working Silver Lake
squad hang around a little too
long before dropping a 76-71
double overtime decision to
the Lakers in Duxbury.
Coming into the game
with a 3-10 record, it looked
like Silver Lake would be
a likely candidate to be one
of the two wins the Dragons
needed to qualify for post-
season play. But after watch-
ing the first eight minutes of
action, it didn’t look like the
Lakers were going to roll over
and play dead while satisfying
Duxbury’s needs.

Duxbury 71
Silver Lake 76
Laker guard Tucker
Bouchard was lighting it up
in the first four minutes, scor-
ing seven points before Sil-
ver Lake Coach Tom Duggan
called a timeout with his team
ahead 10-8 and 4:19 left in the
opening quarter. When the
teams came back on the floor,
Bouchard hit his second three-
pointer of the quarter and the
Lakers jumped out to a 17-12
lead at the end of the first eight
minutes.
Five points by senior
Josh Whalen and a hoop by
Bouchard (33 points) in-
creased the Laker lead to 24-
16 midway through the sec-
ond quarter before baskets by
junior Justin Marino (5 pts.)
and junior Curtis Owen (4
pts.) kept the Dragons within
striking distance at 30-24 as
the half ended.

dling by the Dragons was dic-
tating the score.
“They play hard, but we
let them stay in the game,”
said Duxbury Coach Gordon
Cushing. “They were getting
wide open shots and then we
kept fouling them and send-
ing them to the line (27 of 31).
Some of those fouls were so
ridiculous because they were
so far away from the basket.”
When Connor Kindregan
started the third quarter by
cutting the margin to 30-26,
it appeared the Dragons were
right back in the game. But the
Lakers kept getting wide open
shots and ran off 10 straight
points to lead 40-26 with 3:04
left in the quarter.
At this point in the game,
Owen caught fire, scoring 10
straight Duxbury points to cut
the margin to 40-36 at the end
of three quarters.
The Dragons were now
back in the game, and all the
mistakes they had made didn’t
matter anymore. By outplay-
ing the Lakers over the next
eight minutes, the only thing
that would matter would be a
win.
And what a wild eight
minutes it would be.
Early in the fourth quar-
ter a Laker injury held up the
game for five minutes with the
visitors leading 42-40. When
play resumed Owen tied the
game with a jumper with 5:45
to go, and the lead went back-
and-forth in dramatic fashion
the rest of regulation time.
Six lead changes occurred
over the next three minutes,
with an Owen jumper giving
Duxbury a 48-47 lead, forc-
ing the Lakers to call a tim-
eout with 2:49 showing on the
clock.
The Lakers couldn’t get
the ball back in play and Dux-
bury took advantage, as Jason
Marino scored on his own re-

4 Duxbury Clipper
Shovelfuls of fun
continued from page one
spade (also handle-free). I’ve learned to skip true snow shovels
for all but the lightest fluff. Flinging frozen crud up over a
mountaintop is easier in small bites. I double the number of
throws, but I save my tired old back.
This year taught me several indelible rules for snow
shoveling. After 42 years living in snow country, it’s about
time. Here they are, for your enjoyment.
• Before you start, soak your gloves or mittens in ice water.
This will save you from that first 30 seconds of warmth and
comfort outside, and the inevitable disappointment when it
ends after the second shovelful. While you’re at it, soak your
cuffs, shoes, and cell phone in the same ice water. You might
as well get it over with.
• Draw a line in the snow to guide your efforts. Freehand
shoveling is fine for professionals, but discovering that you
have shoveled a perfect circle that bypassed your actual
driveway can discourage amateurs like me after the third or
fourth try.
• Never take the easy way out. Shoveling when the snow
is fresh, soft, often fluffy and light will leave you unsatisfied,
like chewing a fine steak without swallowing. Rock-hard slush
engages the whole person, while chipping it off your car leaves
the added gift of a free-form record of your efforts in the paint
scratches that will glisten long after the winter fades to a bitter
memory.
• Shovel alone. Four people can shovel my driveway in
45 minutes, thus stripping me of the fun of shoveling about
eight feet before I give up and run the car back and forth at
high speed to create an Olympic/NASCAR luge course of ice
grooves, pits, and crevasses.
• Leave your shovels lying flat in the yard. This adds to
the adventure as soon as the next storm arrives, and helps our
sluggish economy when you give up the search and buy new
shovels (again).
• If you have four-wheel drive, leave it off until you are
stuck. This gives you multiple opportunities to learn that you
really can’t shovel snow out from under a vehicle, especially
after you drill the drive-wheels two feet into the earth beneath
your snow bank.
• Never remember where you left your car’s scraper.
Instead, use your new shovel to clear off snow and ice. This
will add to the paint scratches (see number three above),
and may give your vehicle the distinctive silver streaks of a
cracked windshield.
• During the work week, plan your shoveling so that you
have a good excuse for being late to the office, school, or
any other commitment. Properly executed, this technique can
provide an entire day off. Besides, nobody trusts a coworker or
employee who can’t milk a perfectly good blizzard.
These tips should keep you neatly buried until June. Use
the time to contemplate winter wonders (or life in Hawaii), and
have an ice cream sundae by the fire.

Swimmers beat their nemesis
Clipper Contributor
In their most anticipated
dual-meet of the season, the
Duxbury girls’ swim team
topped previously unbeaten,
South Sectional rivals, Barn-
stable last Thursday at the Per-
cy Walker Pool. It was a huge
win and sweet payback for the
Lady Dragons, who had yet to
beat the Red Raiders in a regu-
lar season meet.

After being touched out at
the wall in the 200-yard med-
ley relay, the Lady Dragons
took the top spot in five out of
eight individual events and the
remaining two relay competi-
tions. All of the wins, as well
as four of the second-place
finishes, recorded season-low
times. In addition, the divers
also scored points for all three
spots, with Sam Tougas lead-
ing the way. Kelsey Golden

only a distance freestyler, but
a sprinter as well. Swimming

Connolly touched out Ben Zel-

Lady Dragons put up a good fight
By Mike Halloran, Sports Editor

The DHS girls’ basketball
team almost pulled off the up-
set of the year, as the under-
manned Lady Dragons battled
back from a 27-19 halftime
deficit, but eventually lost to
undefeated New Bedford High
Sschool, 58-54, last week in
Duxbury.

It was a good test for a
Duxbury squad that came into
the game at 10-2, while the
undefeated Division 1 Whal-
ers were at 15-0 and ranked
No. 7 by the Boston Globe.
Making matters even worse
for the Lady Dragons is that
they were playing without the
injured Norton sisters, both of
who are major contributors on
offense.
The New Bedford seniors
took control early, as Arielle
Gomes scored eight first quar-
ter points, and classmate Alys-
sa Roach added eleven in the
second quarter that included a
trio of three-pointers that gave
the visitors a 27-19 halftime
lead.
NOWHERE TO GO: Duxbury’s Sam Ederle keeps Silver Lake’s
Jackie Hurley from advancing the ball.
64-61 a minute into the sec-
ond overtime, Kindregan hit
a bucket to make it 64-63. A
free throw by Graziano got
the lead back to two, only to
see Owen tie it again thanks to
an offensive rebound by Acha
Baskets by Jenna Cusick,
Christina Curley, and Devon
Tsinzo would keep the Lady
Dragons close in the third
quarter, but they still trailed
by nine as the period came to
a close and found them staring
at a 45-36 deficit.
Tsinzo (12 points) caught
fire in the final eight minutes,
as her patented three-point
bombs found their range, cut-
ting the Whaler lead to 47-44
with five minutes left in the
game.
After Duxbury coach Mark
Dunn called a timeout, the
Lady Dragons came back on
the floor and continued their
comeback, cutting the lead to
one at 49-48 after baskets by
Michela North and Megan
Sullivan with less than four
minutes left in the game.
A North basket would keep
them within striking distance
at 51-50 with 2:10 left on the
clock, but New Bedford’s
Courtney Miranda buried a
three for a 54-50 lead. Two
more free throws by North
matched a bucket by Roach,
and the Whalers called a tim-
eout with 51 seconds remain-
ing.
North (22 points) made a
big basket on an offensive re-
bound to get them back within
two at 56-54, but the defense
couldn’t snatch the ball away

with 1:50 left.
The long range shooting
that had given the Lakers their
early leads suddenly returned,
as junior Jackie Hurley nailed
a pair of three-pointers in a
one-minute span and Bouchard
hit two free throws to give Sil-
ver Lake a 73-68 lead with 26
seconds to go. More Laker
free throws matched a Jason
Marino basket and the Lakers
joyfully ran off the court with
the victory.
“We definitely showed our
youth tonight,” said a frustrat-
ed Cushing.
Owen had a big night of-
fensively for the Dragons with
28 points, while Jason Marino
contributed 16 points and Kin-
dregan chipped in with 10.
After entertaining Hanover
on Monday night, the Dragons
will hit the road for a game
with Whitman-Hanson on Fri-
day at 6:30 p.m.
and sent them to the free throw
line in two critical situations
where they converted for the
win.
While the Lady Dragons
showed their grit against New
Bedford, they had a much
tougher time on Friday night
in Kingston in a key Patriot
League battle, as they dropped
a 53-37 decision to Silver
Lake in a Keenan Division
match-up.
The absence of Maggie
and Katelyn North became
an issue, as the Lakers knew
immediately how to stop the
Lady Dragons minus two of
their top scorers.
Grabbing a 21-15 halftime
lead on the strength of Nicole
Conboy’s 14 points, the Lak-
ers never trailed the rest of the
night, despite a valiant second-
half effort by North that cut
the margin to 31-28 late in the
third quarter.
With a lack of offensive
options in the final eight min-
utes, Silver Lake was able to
tighten its defense on the Dux-
bury attack and expanded its
lead to 49-32 with its offense
being taken over by Courtney
Yost (15 points).
On Friday night the girls
will host Whitman-Hanson,
as they try to improve on their
10-4 record.

Softball registrations off to a great start
Just two days after opening, the Duxbury Youth Softball
online registration has seen some serious action. Is it because
we have been snowbound or are we just so excited for spring
softball?  The clinics (grades 3-5 and 6-9) are already 25 per-
cent full and will run on six consecutive Tuesday nights start-
ing March 8. The 2011 DYS spring season (grades 1-9) starts
Monday, April 25, after vacation. Players must register before
March 8 to avoid the late fee.  Check out all the details and
register for both at duxburyyouthsoftball.org.

Wrestlers sink Lakers in Patriot League action
By Wendy Genereux
Clipper Contributor
Last Thursday night’s
match against Silver Lake had
all the makings of a good, old-
fashioned barn burner between
two teams who are both try-
ing to find their rhythm head-
ing into the postseason. The
Dragons came out firing on all
cylinders to win their fourth
match, and made senior night
a memorable one for Duxbury
wrestling captains Pat Dono-
van, Jamie Auer and Alec
McKenzie.
wrestling
Duxbury 39
Silver Lake 25
However, it was the under-
classmen who stole a little bit
of the senior captains’ thunder
when the match began in the
125 lbs. weight class. Dux-
bury freshman Jim Chappuis
took the mat against SL junior
Nick Foley, and after an early
takedown by Foley, Chappuis
earned an escape, takedown,
and back points to take a 6-2
lead heading into the second
period. With both wrestlers
back on their feet, Chappuis
got another takedown and
three more back points before
Foley made it interesting in the
third period with a reversal and
back points of his own. How-
ever, it was too little too late
for the SL junior, who lost a
14-7 decision.
Making his varsity debut in
the 130 lbs. weight class was
Duxbury sophomore Brian
Leddie, who has been out most
of the season with a knee in-
jury. Believing that Duxbury
was trying to avoid a match-up
between SL freshman phenom
Tom Grifa (52-2 as a middle
schooler) and Duxbury’s Jake
Genereux, who both wrestle at
130, SL coach Russ Shute went
to his bench for the match. Af-
ter going scoreless through two
periods, Leddie got a reversal
and three back points en route
to a 5-0 victory.
With a 6-0 lead in favor
of Duxbury, Grifa and Ge-
nereux would face off in the
135 lbs. weight class. Grifa
tried to score on a single-leg
takedown twice, but Genereux
defended well, and then with a
minute left in the first period,
the Dragon grappler took Grifa
down, grabbed his head, and
cradled him for the pin, and
the win.
The victory extended the
Duxbury lead to 12-0, but

more significantly, Silver Lake
would have to bump up their
remaining wrestlers. That was
the case when junior Mike Sil-
va (135) had to face Duxbury
senior captain Pat Donovan in
the 140 lbs. weight class.
Donovan put on a clinic
for the youth wrestlers in at-
tendance when he continually
scored back points with tilts,
mounting a 12-0 lead before
pinning Silva with three sec-
onds remaining in the third
period.

baseball coach David Murphy is now one of the
South Shore’s premiere baseball facilities.
Sinnott Park was converted to a multiple
use field by installing portable pitching mounds
and basepaths that can be adjusted for “Little
League” or “Pony League”- like distances.
And the tradition will continue in 2011 with
numerous projects on the docket, including:
• Coaches clinics are being expanded to pro-
vide more training in the areas of skill-building,
running a practice and enhancing the game ex-
perience.

tions will incur a $25 registration late fee. Reg-
ister today to avoid these fees! Registration for
summer league play, including the Senior Babe
leagues (grades 9-12) will take place in the
spring.
On behalf of the Board of Directors of Dux-
bury Youth Baseball, I’d like to thank you for
your many years of support. Our program now
serves nearly 1,000 children between the ages
of 5 and 18 with the simple mission of provid-
ing a fun and safe environment for the children
of Duxbury to enjoy and learn the game of base-
ball. Our goal as an organization is to enhance
every child’s enjoyment of the game through
personal instruction, group clinics and orga-
nized games so that baseball becomes a source
of lifetime enjoyment. DYB especially tries to
promote baseball’s fundamental principles of
sportsmanship, fair play and teamwork that can
be used throughout life to become better citi-
zens.
As an organization, we are constantly work-
ing to improve our program and our commu-
nity. For example in 2010, DYB embarked on a
number of ambitious projects, including:
DYB oversaw a fundraising effort that led
to $50,000 worth of improvements to Murphy
• DYB is producing an instructional video
as a resource for parents, players and coaches.
Summer programs are being expanded to
provide a greater number of kids the opportu-
nity to play baseball throughout the months of
June and July.
• Infield surfaces at Train, Sinnott and
Keene Fields will be refurbished with new clay
and leveled to enhance the safety and durability
of the fields.
• Dugouts at Murphy Field will be painted
to acknowledge outstanding DHS baseball
teams of the past, including last year’s record-
breaking varsity team.
Of course, no program of this magnitude
can be successful without the support of many
volunteers. Whether you are able to commit
considerable time in helping to coach one of
our teams or if you only have an hour or two to
give, we need your help! Volunteer opportuni-
ties are available to fit all schedules so please
sign-up for whatever commitment your sched-
ule will allow.
Once again, thank you for your continued
support of our program. We look forward to
working with you to make this the most enjoy-
able season ever for your child.
