Duxbury’s marine environ-ment is where many residents get their summertime enjoy-ment. Whether it is jumping off the Bluefish bridge, sailing in the harbor, or swimming on the bayside of the beach, summer offers residents easier ways to directly interact with their environment.

The Duxbury Bay Mari-time School is where many children first get their toes wet in the waters of Duxbury Bay. The school is hoping that a new ecology program will encourage those links between students and the enviroment.

The main ecological edu-cation program that DBMS offers is the First and Second Wave classes. They offer stu-dents the opportunity to go on field trips to ecologically diverse Duxbury hotspots and to interact with live aquatic animals in a touch tank on the DBMS campus. The ani-mals are found and donated by Island Creek Oysters. First Wave is for children between the ages of 7-9 and Second Wave is for children aged be-tween 9-11. Each group con-tains approximately a dozen students. The program has been in existence for several years now and recently ex-panded to include the Second

The Duxbury school sys-tem received a preliminary thumbs up from the state last week regarding their building projects.

On July 28, the Massachu-setts School Building Author-ity announced that its board had voted to move Duxbury High School into the MSBA’s Capital Pipeline for potential

Duxbury will receive an aerial spraying of insecticide on Wednesday, Aug. 4 after a mosquito was found to be carrying the disease Eastern Equine Encephalitis, com-monly known as EEE.

On Tuesday, July 27, Duxbury Health Agent Tracy Mayo sent out a memo that the state’s Department of Public Health had detected EEE in mosquito samples taken from Duxbury.

In 2009, 3,410 mosquito samples were tested for EEE virus, and 54 positive samples were identified in Massachu-setts. Duxbury did not have any EEE virus positive mos-quito samples identified in 2009. In 2010, there have al-ready been 30 mosquito pools and one animal testing posi-tive for the disease, according to the department’s Web site.

“EEE is a rare but serious illness spread by the bite of an infected mosquito,” Mayo said in the release. “While EEE can infect people of all ages, people under 15 years of age or over 50 years of age are at greatest risk for serious illness.” She was out of town this week and unavailable for further comment.

Plymouth County Mos-quito Control conducted a ground spraying of insecticide on Thursday July 29, between the hours of 2-5 a.m. As an ad-

ditional precaution, the town suspended all town-sponsored outdoor activities after 7:30

p.m., a curfew that was still in place as of press time.

Due to the serious nature of the disease, which can be fatal in humans, and the in-creased number of positive tests, the state decided on July 31 to take the next step and spray the pesticide Anvil from airplanes. According to a risk map dated July 27, Duxbury is considered at high risk for EEE.

“This has been an unusual year in terms of persistent hot weather and rainfall condi-tions,” said DPH Commis-sioner John Auerbach in a statement. “We believe there is a significantly higher risk of EEE this year than in years past, but we’re hopeful that the prudent use of aerial spraying will decrease that risk, along with people taking care to keep from getting bit by mos-quitoes.”

Duxbury is one of about 14 South Shore communities that will be sprayed. Spraying is set to take place on Wednes-day night between 7 p.m. and midnight. The Department of Public Health’s Web site states that residents are rec-ommended to remain indoors during spraying, but other than that no special precautions are needed.

PROTECT yOURSELf

Duxbury has been deemed a high risk zone for EEE by the Department of Public Health. Follow the tips below to mini-mize your risk.

• Repair screens

• Dump standing water twice weekly

• Wear mosquito repellent when outdoors during peak mosquito hours (from dusk to dawn)

• Wear long sleeves and long pants when outdoors during peak mosquito hours

• Use mosquito netting on baby carriages and playpens outdoors

• Arrange neighborhood cleanups to get rid of mos-quito breeding sites

• Be aware of stagnant water on private property, i.e. an unused swimming pool, and consult the local board of health

• Avoid outside areas with obvious mosquito activity

• Adjust outdoor activity to avoid peak mosquito hours

• Avoid camping overnight near freshwater swamps where EEE activity is likely.

Charlie Rogerson was born with his tongue in his cheek.

For years, the cartoonist, who admits he has had no for-mal training other than a love of doodling, has been aiming his wicked pen at the foibles of Duxbury politicians, residents and institutions. Last week, he showed his work for the first time at in Hall’s Corner.

Rogerson says he came from a family of talented art-ists –– artists he always felt he couldn’t live up to. However, he has always been a doodler.

“It’s just something I do,” said Rogerson. “It’s like brush-ing your teeth in the morn-ing.”

The longtime Duxbury resident has memories of convalescing from an illness in Brookline, all the while sketching images of his be-loved hometown.

“I used to sit in bed and draw pictures of things,” he said.

For a time during his youth, Rogerson thought he wanted to be an architect.

“In high school, the only course I didn’t flunk was me-chanical drawing,” he joked.

However, service in World War II interrupted his educa-tion and put a damper on those plans. He briefly flirted with ideas of working for an adver-tising agency, but was told his lack of an art school degree was a problem.

Rogerson eventually found himself working in the financial

industry. He and another Dux-bury native produced a once-a-year satirical paper called “Barron’s Weakly” (punning on the financial newspaper Barron’s Weekly), for which his first cartoon involved one company’s move depicted as two men moving an outhouse across the street.

“I’ve always satirized the business,” he said.

In the 70’s Rogerson start-ed working for State Street Bank. Part of his job involved participating in a weekly meet-ing for which he was required to produce a market report. Unfortunately, his superiors never read it. Tapping into the sardonic streak that’s as im-portant a tool as his black pen, Rogerson started to slip outra-geous statements and obvious typos into the report, but still couldn’t get a rise out of his coworkers. Finally, he started drawing cartoons in the re-port.

“Then I started to get a response,” he said. “I guess that’s how it all started.”

Rogerson always had fun with his cartoons, but never thought of doing them serious-ly. Instead, his work was re-stricted to a company newslet-ter here, a portrait of a retiring coworker there. In the early part of this decade, he took a cartoon to then Clipper editor Josh Cutler.

“Josh liked the idea, so we started doing it or a regular basis. It’s been going on ever since,” he said.

Rogerson was originally

uncomfortable with the idea of showcasing his work in a gal-lery setting, saying he doesn’t really think of his cartoons of art.

“I look at art in the classic sense as somebody who can paint,” he said.

His one experience with a formal art class, a water-color workshop with some fellow Duxbury artists whom he holds in high regard, didn’t end so well.

“I was so overwhelmed, I probably went to two classes,” he said.

Yet one of those same artists came up to him at last month’s gallery showing and complimented his work.

“She said, ‘you’ve got a kind of an art that I can’t do,’” he said.

Rogerson says he has no real influences in his cartoon-ing. An idea will pop into his head and he’ll quickly commit it to paper.

“It comes naturally to me,” he said. “It’s a lot of fun. I get a kick out of doing them.”

Spotting seabirdsBy Fahy ByGate, CLipper CoLumniSt

In the dog days of summer when songbirds have quieted down in order to raise their young, birders often head to the coast to look for seabirds. Not birds of the shore but

those birds that spend their entire lives at sea except for a short period in the summer when they come to land.

Seabirds are not as difficult to observe as we might think. Just by standing on the beach here in Duxbury on a cold winter’s day you can spot gannets diving sometimes very close to the shore. Their brilliant white plumage makes them a standout from the gulls. A gannet’s dive will take your breath away. These huge birds are big as a goose, with a long neck and pointed bill. They circle above the water and when they spot a fish they fold their wings into their body and “like a thunderbolt” (apologies to Tennyson) they fall, headfirst, into the water.

Seabirds have evolved to spend their lives cruising the waters of the world. Most seabirds have waterproof feathers, most have webbed feet, some species have salt glands that

enable them to expel salt from their bodies through a tube in the nose, some feed by diving from high above the waves (gannets), and some dive from the surface. Skimmers fly

over the surface of the water with their bills open, skimming small fish. White Pelicans dive from the surface of the water but Brown Pelicans are beautiful divers from the air.

In the fall and spring, seabird enthusiasts go out to sea hoping to catch sight of a Greater Shearwater sailing low over the waves or a flurry of storm petrels behind the boat dancing on the water. Often, an unusual tern or gull will show up on one of these “pelagic” trips. Many bird clubs arrange seabird cruises sometimes on whale watch boats. In the harbor you will see gulls and terns and cormorants, ducks and maybe a loon. Once off the coast you will start to see storm petrels and shearwaters, perhaps an alcid. This group of seabirds includes Razorbills, Murres, Puffins, Dovekies and Black Guillemots. Maine or even up to Newfoundland and Labrador are the places to go to see alcids in the millions.

Between May and September, seabirds venture onto land to nest. Often the nests are on inaccessible islands and cliff faces. On Bonaventure Island, Quebec you can take a boat out to the island, hike across through deep, sun-speckled woods and emerge squinting and blinking into the bright sunshine at the top of a cliff. Ahead of you is nothing but the North Atlantic but all around you, as far as the eye can see, are millions and millions of squeaking and squealing Northern Gannets. More birds in one place than I have ever seen before or since!

The life histories of some seabirds are not completely known, so they can seem mysterious and romantic. There is much to study and so many opportunities to look for these lovely birds. You could start today!

Alden House to host craft fairThe John Alden House is hosting their First Annual Artisans

and Crafters Fair on Sunday, Aug. 8, from 11 a.m.-4 p.m. Fine artisans and crafters will sell their original art, photographs, pottery, jewelry, and more. Come and enjoy a leisurely Sunday shopping opportunity and a have a free walk-through tour of the Alden House while supporting local artists.

Clad in some dark green hats emblazoned with the Dux-bury Dragons logo, Rubin and his sons Tyler, Eric and Matt took in the Cannons’ 17-10 win over the Toronto Nation-als Saturday night, a game in which Matt Poskay broke the Cannons’ all-time scoring re-cord and the team clinched a playoff spot. The Cannons may want to think about adopt-ing that color scheme with four former Dragons now on the roster and one of them, rookie sensation Max Quinzani, tak-ing MLL by storm.

“We remember him play-ing at Duxbury High School,” Kevin Rubin said. “It is really nice to watch someone from our hometown.”

Quinzani joined the pro-fessional ranks after captaining Duke University to the 2010 NCAA national championship. The Cannons selected him with the third pick in the MLL draft on June 6, and he has not dis-appointed. He has seven goals in his first four games, three of which came against the Denver Outlaws on June 14 and earned him Rookie of the Week hon-ors.

“It’s been great,” Quinzani said of his first few weeks as a professional. “I’ve gotten to know the guys a lot more and that obviously lubricates things. It was Pos’ day today, getting to know him of the past couple of weeks, I’m happy as hell for him. It’s good to be on the team; it’s good to be on A team.”

Quinzani is easily recog-nizable on the field due to the fact that, generously listed at five feet eight inches tall, he is the smallest player on the field. Nearly a head shorter than To-ronto defender Steven Parnelli, who was marking him for most of the game, and dwarfed by the 6’4” National goalie Scott Rodgers, Quinzani looked liked Wes Welker trying to find space between Ray Lewis and Terrell Suggs as he battled in front of the net.

Parnelli got the better of Quinzani in the first quarter when he used his longer reach to knock Quinzani’s stick out of his hands as they both went for a ground ball, and looked like he had Quinzani well shadowed until a quick shot in the second proved just how

dangerous the former Dragon star can be. With a little push and a quick cut he bought him-self just enough space to grab, spin and fire a laser on net that had already pinged off the post before Parnelli finished his body check.

“God gave him that body and he has done nothing but go out there and get it done,” Bos-ton Cannons head coach Bill Daye said of his number one draft pick. “He’s been doing it all his life. He’s a tough kid.”

Daye drafted Quinzani with the third overall pick to essen-tially be the Cannons’ version of Wes Welker. In addition to being a sure-handed shot to complement Poskay and fel-low rookie Steven Boyle on the attack, Quinzani’s job is basically to use his speed and strength to be the coverage nightmare that forces defenses to break down and opens up holes for the big guns.

“We drafted him to be a great off ball complement to our great attack,” Daye said. “Max has done exactly what we’ve asked of him. He fin-ishes his shots, he gets open in space, and he works his butt off.”

Quinzani is still out of the area for most of the week – he makes the commute up for games and practices from his home in New York – but he said being able to see his friends and family and play in front of them is a dream come true.

“Every weekend I’m up here,” he said. “I’m getting to see my dad, my mom, my little brother and all my buddies. That has been very awesome. I

dreamed about this and I guess I believe in fate now.”

Quinzani’s local ties were another reason Daye was hap-py Quinzani was waiting for the Cannons at the third pick. Though he is currently the only Duxbury player on the active roster, the Cannons also picked up fellow Dragon alumni Chris Nixon and Kevin Gould in the draft, and Chris Ajemian is on the practice squad.

“Our goal is to get more local,” Daye said. “You’ve got hometown heroes com-ing back and playing profes-sional lacrosse. It’s definitely going to help us put people in the seats and have crowds like we’ve had the first five games this season.”

It is a strategy that seems to be working. The sea of chil-dren, easily the largest demo-graphic in the stands Satur-day night, gathering around Quinzani and Boyle, who hails from Derry, New Hampshire, looking for autographs after the game, were larger than any following except those waiting to get the John Hancock of the new Cannons all-time scoring leader, Matt Poskay. And for Quinzani, who said the big-gest adjustment was getting to know his new teammates, hav-ing some fellow Dragons in the fold has been an added bonus.

“It’s perfect,” he said. “We commute together we practice together, and [with a nod to the line of kids waiting for his autograph] they seem to really like us.”

Quinzani plays local lacrosse

GOOD fIRST IMPRESSION: Max Quinzani fires a pass to a Boston Cannons teammate on Saturday night against the Toronto Nationals. The former Duxbury high school star has been on fire since the Cannons drafted him with the third overall pick in this year’s Major League Lacrosse draft.

NO fEAR: Max Quinzani battles for position against 6-foot Toronto defender Jake Deane. At 5’8”, Quinzani is frequently matched up against bigger defenders, but it hasn’t stopped the Duxbury native from scoring seven goals in his first four professional games.

Lecture by DRHS Curator

The Duxbury Rural and Historical Society will host the next lecture of the 2010 King Caesar Lecture series on Thursday, Aug. 5. The speaker will be Patricia Gilrein, the new Curator of the Duxbury Rural and Historical Society. She will discuss the new ex-hibit at the King Caesar House, Life on the Quarterdeck: Dux-bury Sea Captains.

The lecture will take place at the King Caesar Barn, 120 King Caesar Road. The lecture begins at 10:30 a.m. Tickets are $5 per person.

Senate Minority Whip Rob-ert L. Hedlund, of Weymouth, will formally launch his re-election bid for the Plymouth and Norfolk District seat in the Massachusetts State Sen-ate with a campaign kick-off brunch on Sunday, Aug. 15.

“I continue to be honored and humbled by the support I have received from the voters of the Plymouth and Norfolk District,” Sen. Hedlund said. “Every decision I make as state senator honors the trust and faith placed in me by my constituents. If I am fortu-nate enough to be re-elected this November, I promise to continue to vote based on the simple principle of doing what is best for my constituents and not the legislative bosses on Beacon Hill.”

The event will be held from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Weymouth Eagles, located

at 1338 Washington St., East Weymouth.

Sen. Hedlund, who con-tinues to be a leading voice in the Massachusetts Legislature against high taxes, unsustain-able spending, and govern-ment encroachment on per-sonal freedoms, will be joined at his campaign kick-off event by a number of special guests, including Republican guber-natorial candidate Charlie Baker and his running mate for lieutenant governor, Sen-ate Minority Leader Richard Tisei, Republican Congres-sional candidates Joe Malone and Jeff Perry, and Republican candidate for state Treasurer Karyn Polito.

During the past legislative session, Sen. Hedlund opposed the sales, meals and alcohol tax hikes, and co-sponsored more than a $1.5 billion in budget reform measures over the past

two fiscal years. He played a major role in the debate over transportation reform, which resulted in the abolition of the Massachusetts Turnpike Au-thority, and continued to be a leading voice in the fight to re-form Chapter 40B, the state’s subsidized housing law. Lo-cally, he championed a bill that created a hat created a regional dispatch facility for Hingham, Hull, Cohasset and Norwell, pushed for state funding for seawall repairs in Weymouth, Hull, Scituate, Marshfield and Duxbury, coor-dinated public hearings for the new Fore River Bridge con-struction project, and fought proposed reductions in com-muter boat service.

Anyone interested in at-tending Sen. Hedlund’s cam-paign kickoff event, or looking to volunteer on the campaign can contact the Committee to Elect Robert L. Hedlund at [email protected]. More information is also available at Sen. Hedlund’s revamped Web site, BobHed-lund.com.

A day on the VineyardBy miCheLLe Conway, CLipper CoLumniSt

[email protected]

Ferrying across the sound to Martha’s Vineyard I ride the crest of the waves with the gulls floating overhead. I set my sights on surf, swimming and the

treats that lie ahead. The brief forty minute trip carries me light years away from my day to day responsibilities, chores and looming deadlines. The cooler is packed, the menu is sketched and my appetite is sharpened by the salty breeze.

Each year, for the last ten years, my family has been invited to the Vineyard to join in the vacation of our close friends. Their generosity can barely be matched, but I try to return the favor the best way I know how – with food! Their upside down house in Katama offers a treetop view from the kitchen window and a wrap around deck with inviting tables. The sound of the waves at South Beach rumble from the horizon line while quaint airplanes float silently onto a runway just across the way; the stage is set for starlit dinners.

With a nod to my hostesses Greek heritage, I arrive with a marinating leg of lamb for the grill, a selection of summer vegetables which will be cut into chunks and grilled along with skewers of rosemary for an infused flavor. A new dish of cannellini beans with sautéed greens will be tossed together stove top while the lamb is grilling. Everyone has a task, a glass of wine and a smile. While the meal is being prepared, we enjoy a bit of the South Shore – a platter of iced Island Creek Oysters are right at home on the Vineyard. I like mine naked, my husband prefers his with a dash of Tabasco and lemon.

Our second day dawns cloudy with threatening showers. It is the perfect day to pile four adults and five children into the car and head “up island” to Menemsha. The thirty minute ride carries us through rolling fields, past quaint town centers and down into a quintessential fishing village right out of a Norman Rockwell painting. Crowds gather outside The Bite to see for themselves if their fried clams are worthy of the Best of Boston award (they are). Groups perch on lobster crates tucked next to Larsen’s seafood enjoying a lobster lunch, BYO Chardonnay and a view of the fishing boats that hauled in the very food they are eating.

After a leisurely walk along the rock jetty and trip to the shoreline to wet my feet, I set out for the tasty task at hand. Larsen’s Fish Market is jam packed with hungry tourists ordering takeout and salivating locals selecting fish for tonight’s dinner. Like the landlubber tourist I am, I (foolishly) ask if the swordfish is local. “Well, it was caught 75 miles off shore – is that local enough?” Yes indeed. Two dozen little necks, two pounds of thickly cut swordfish and the cooler is restocked for tonight’s dinner. Later that night, we all agree that the swordfish was a perfect collaboration between the fishermen, my Mexican-inspired marinade and my hosts grilling skills; we swoon with each melt-in-your mouth bite.

Enough of the healthy food! Our trip to Martha’s Vineyard is never complete until we take a nighttime trip into Oak Bluffs for the ultimate guilty pleasure. Martha’s Vineyard Bakery at 5 Post Office Square is probably quaint and cozy inside, but I have only ever experienced the bakery from the industrial back door. Each night from 9 p.m. until 12:30 a.m., a line forms in the decidedly unglamorous parking lot to partake of a summer tradition - Back Door Doughnuts. Honey glazed, jelly and Boston cream are tempting, but nothing compares to their apple fritter – a golden doughnut disk studded with sweet cinnamon apples. A nighttime stroll through the Camp Meeting Grounds might burn off a few of the calories, but I eat with abandon any way. After all, I am on the Vineyard, and tomorrow’s waves beckon in the distance.

ARE YOU SITTING DOWN? If you spend a significant portion of your day sitting down, you are likely to be prone to weight gain for reasons that you could scarcely imagine. According to a microbiol-ogist from the University of Missouri, who does not own an office chair, “standing around and puttering recruit(s) specialized muscles de-signed for postural support that nev-er tire.” In addition, these muscles are rich in enzymes, one of which (lipoprotein lipase) removes fat and cholesterol from the blood and turns the fat into energy. In addition, the enzyme converts cholesterol from the bad kind (LDL) to the good kind (HDL). However, when a person sits and muscles are relaxed, activity of this enzyme drops 90%-95%, leaving fat in the bloodstream.

be studied, according to local officials, although the middle school is the higher priority.)

Voters at 2009 annual Town Meeting approved $200,000 for a feasibility study for the high school and middle school. Since the town has already conducted its own study, School Building Com-mittee Chairwoman Elizabeth Lewis is hopeful the district can move quickly to the next phase.

“They have a whole series of steps ... this just means that your project merits looking at,” said Lewis. “It puts us in the queue.”

Earlier, the School Com-mittee submitted a statement of interest to the authority, which is a short letter outlin-ing the structural problems at the high school and middle school. The state then con-ducts a senior study, according to Lewis, to verify the claims made in the statement of inter-est before moving to the feasi-bility stage.

The MSBA can help pay a big portion of the construction costs for new school build-ings. Buildings that follow a model school plan and/or in-corporate green materials and building systems are eligible for an even higher reimburse-ment rate.

Since Town Meeting in March, the School Building Committee has worked with Dore and Whittier Architects to finalize the feasibility study. The study presented six op-tions for the schools, includ-ing renovation of each school,

replacement of each school, partial addition and renova-tion, and what’s known as a “co-located” high school and middle school.

The School Building Com-mittee met with MSBA Execu-tive Director Katherine Cra-ven in June. Lewis said that Craven agreed with the com-mittee that a co-located school idea is Duxbury’s best option at this time.

“They’re stepping back from renovation and saying ... ‘we know your schools are in tough shape,’” Lewis said. She said the idea of a middle school and high school that shared some spaces, like a gym or performing arts theater, could save the town money in the long run.

“They’re attached with a central core that has circula-tion and some share facilities, but trying to keep the schools identities and populations separate,” she said. “If we can get two projects now while the construction market is good, it’s great bang for the buck.”

She said that renovating or rebuilding the schools sepa-rately would have to be done in phases, and because there’s no place to put the students, there would have to be un-sightly temporary or modular classrooms.

“There’s a lot of disruption to the users,” she said

Lewis said there are some potential issues with a shared space, in that middle and high school kids would be mingling in the hallways, but she said some of those concerns were addressed at a visioning ses-sion held earlier this year.

Some of the benefits, in addition to the reduced cost, of a co-located school, is that gifted students from the middle school can take high school classes “without physi-cally crossing the street.” Fac-ulty can also work together on larger projects.

She said the future time-line is hard to predict. A lot

depends on money. If there is enough money left out of the initial $200,000 approved by Town Meeting to pay for the new study and to hire a project manager, the district can move forward immediately. If not, they’ll have to come back to a special Town Meeting to ask for more funds.

Either way, at the end of the study the state and the town will sign off on a project that will then come before vot-ers.

“At the end of the study we will have a schematic de-sign that we will go to town meeting with,” said Lewis.

On Aug. 31, Don Walter of Dore and Whittier Architects and Dr. Frank Locker will be discussing the idea of a co-located school with teachers and administrators. Locker led the three-day visioning sessions last fall. Lewis said that her committee is working with the School Committee to develop a Web site where the public can follow the study process. All meetings are post-ed at Town Hall and are open to the public. The next School Building Committee meeting is Tuesday, Aug. 17 at 7 p.m. in Room 106 at Duxbury High School.

Got Crabgrass?Is lime green grass taking over your yard?

We’ll kill it before it adds more seeds to the problem.Wave class due to popular de-mand. Second Wave’s curricu-lum was created and designed during this past winter.

DBMS would like to have a fully functional ecological lab up and running by fall. They would like to maintain a 24/7 fish tank to store aquatic flora and fauna. In order for this dream to be realized, the plumbing system of DBMS must be renovated. In addition to educational purposes, the school would like to use the lab for research.

The idea to expand the ecology program has been steadily growing for the last two and a half to three years, according to DBMS Executive Director Charles Leonard. Be-fore the current era of expan-sion, the First Wave program operated out of DMS and an ecological lab that was a glori-fied garage.

DBMS’s neighbor, Battelle Laboratories has helped accel-erate the growth of this pro-gram. Since the inception of the program, Battelle has dedicat-ed $24,000 to help expand the program and the school.“The community is where our heart lies,” said Tracy Stenner, Bat-telle employee and presenter of the annual check to DBMS.

Catie Slechta has been working with DBMS for four

years and has witnessed the expansion of the ecology pro-gram. In addition to First and Second Wave, she has taught Big Fish Little Fish. The Big Fish Little Fish program is of-fered to 3-6 year olds and is an hour and a half each day. The program explores nine different themes pertaining to aquatic life. It is a precursor to the First and Second Wave Programs.

Slechta has taught both programs this summer, alter-nating between each one every week. All sessions have been sold out and the kids have been enthusiastic to learn during the

summer months.“If we left the kids with

the touch tank all day, they would never get bored, that’s how much they enjoy it.” said Slechta.

In addition to laboratory work, the children have had scavenger hunts, field trips to the bay side of the beach and the Gurnet, and they got to ex-plore in tide pools. The lab is used as a functional science space, whereas the field trips present the students with the chance to explore a diverse and ecologically rich environment. The success of these programs only promises a brighter fu-ture for the ecological wing of DBMS.

“The kids have really en-joyed getting to explore Dux-bury Bay. They’ve definitely interacted well with the envi-ronment,” said Slechta.

Saturday, Aug. 7 at the Cor-nerstone Lodge.

The Bay Players are a group of thespians from the South Shore. Their first pro-duction was in 1958. Director Marcie Herold participated in her first Bay Players produc-tion in 1979 and became active again a year and a half ago.

This summer, she started a youth program in response to her daughter, who attends Duxbury High School, as well as her students at Pembroke High School, where she is the drama adviser. The teens wanted a way to keep acting in the summer.

“Once on this Island” is a story-within-a-story. It begins with a small girl crying during a storm. She is comforted by four storytellers who narrate the story of Ti Moune, a peas-ant girl on a fictional island called the Jewel of the Antil-les.

Ti Moune is spared by the gods during a massive flood and is taken in by peasants who live on the poor, darker-skinned side of the island. After the gods argue which is stronger, love or death, they arrange for Ti Moune to fall in love with Daniel Beaux-homme, a “Grande Homme,” someone who lives on the rich and light-skinned side of the island. When Papa Ge, the Demon of Death, comes to kill Daniel, Ti Moune promises her life to spare his.

Daniel, however, is en-gaged to Andrea Deveraux, a girl from his side of the is-land. Papa Ge offers Ti Moune the chance to kill Daniel and renege on her deal, but she re-fuses. Ti Moune proves that love is stronger than death, and Papa Ge transforms her into a tree, which Daniel’s sons play on.

AJ Marino, who plays Ti Moune in this production, once played a young Ti Moune in a previous production at Pem-broke High School. She said

one of the reasons she joined the cast is to work with Her-old.

“Marcie is the director at my high school and we did this show two years ago and I adored the show,” Marino said. “I was a little Ti Moune, ironi-cally, so now I’ve grown up. So it was just a good chance to do a musical that is one of my favorites.”

Tom Warren plays Daniel, the man Ti Moune falls in love with. The moral of the story is one of his favorite aspects of the musical.

“The theme of the story is equality. There’s the poor peo-ple and then there’s the rich people. And when Ti Moune becomes a tree at the end, it breaks the difference between the rich and the poor and ev-erybody is equal,” he said.

Arianna Zografos plays Asaka, the Mother of the Earth. Like many of her cast-mates, Zografos has performed in high school productions. “Once on this Island” was an opportunity to continue theater outside of school.

“I was pretty involved with drama in high school and I really wanted to incorporate it into my life even though I’m going to college next year,” said Zografos, who graduated in June from Pembroke High School.

Many of the cast members said their favorite part of the production was working with their fellow castmates. Zach-ary Zahnzinger, who plays Papa Ge, agreed but noted that the closeness of the cast could sometimes be an issue.

“I think one of the biggest challenges is that we became friends really quickly and, because of that, sometimes we end up not fully getting into character,” he said. “With my character, the Demon of Death, it is tough to be so evil, because I’m not that evil a per-son. So sometimes I struggle to get into it.”

Part of the reason Herold

chose “Once on this Island” was the musical’s summertime feel.

“It’s a tropical theme, and I knew it was going to be really hot in the summer,” she said. “It’s a fun, peppy show. The kids love the music. It’s all Caribbean-themed music. I’m just a huge fan of the show.”

The production also dou-bles as a camp. The camp lasts nearly seven weeks. Cast members pay a tuition that goes toward the use of the Cor-nerstone Lodge. In addition to working on the production, they play theater-based games that help them get to know each other and work on their acting skills. Herold hopes the cast learns a lot about the pro-cess of putting on a musical.

“I hope that the students that come and participate in the camp come away with a love of theater, and that they can see the magic of theater,” she said. “We start with this raw project of books and mu-sic notes and we wind up with this wonderful spectacle on stage. They feel the audience give them the energy back that they put out, and hearing the audience applaud at the end is just magical.”

Herold also mentioned the valuable contributions of the production’s crew. Mike Smith and Aaron Kaplowitz will be running the lights and Dan Nelson is in charge of the sound system.

School needs can’t be ignored for much longerHere’s a sentence that might make some residents

cringe: In a few years, Town Meeting voters will be staring down a multi-million dollar proposal to

build a new high school and/or middle school.It seems almost comical given the difficulty town officials

have had getting a new police station passed in recent years, and the police station is certainly in worse shape than either the high school or middle school. Yet, the schools are aging, outdated, and they won’t last forever. The proposition of having to renovate or replace the schools is no laughing matter.

A few months ago, the architects hired by the town to conduct a feasibility study at the middle and high school threw out some staggering figures, saying even if voters chose not to act on a new school, necessary bit-by-bit renovations like a new roof or duct system could cost up to $70 million. There’s some shock value in those

numbers –– we’re sure there are patch job options with lower price tags –– but the overall point is a valid one: even “doing nothing” costs something. And at what point does it become bad financial management to put patches on the Titanic after the iceberg’s been struck and the water is pouring in? It can sound counterintuitive, but because of the possibility of reimbursement from the state, new construction often makes more sense than renovation when it comes to school projects.

Voters in Duxbury are demanding, and even if the economy turns around it’s unlikely that voters will open their wallets and pocketbooks for the police, fire and school projects all in a row. There will have to be some creative thinking here even if a new school project is approved.

To that end, thinking outside the box with a combined high school/middle school facility is a good start. There’s no need to have two school buildings in town with separate gym and performing arts spaces. And there are other ways of making new construction cost effective that need to be explored.

The idea of new school facilities just isn’t on the radar of the average Duxbury resident these days. But it should be. A town-wide community conversation is the best way to ensure that whatever happens with the schools is the best possible solution.

–– J. Graeber

I have been a resident in Duxbury for three years and enjoy so many

things about the town:My neighbors who live

in the building with me at 59 Chestnut Street.

GATRA public transporta-tion! I get on at least once or twice a week at the GATRA stop at Foodie’s and have taken a few rides, to name a few: A ride to Independence Mall, or Brant Rock to have lunch or Kohl’s Plaza in Pembroke. The drivers are great and hope you will take a ride on GATRA – once you do – you will want to do it again!

Foodie’s Market – The quality of the food is great and the staff is very helpful! Please

support your local market – you will be glad that you did!

Senior Center – especially the medical bus (781-934-5774, Ext. 117) – the drivers deliver me to my appointments on time and take me home. If you have a vehicle, leave it at your home, save gas, you will not have the problem of finding a parking place. Leave the driving to us!

A great library and wonder-ful programs.

Duxbury to me is a very well run town! Be thankful you live here – I count my blessings every day. Duxbury offers its seniors a great deal – we just have to avail ourselves of what is available.

It has been a wonderful experience getting to know more of you and

writing for the Duxbury Clip-per. I’ve been able to explore Duxbury in greater depth and have enjoyed writing about my hometown. When Jus-tin told me that this was an unpaid internship, I foresaw myself by a typewriter, ma-niacally writing “All work and no pay makes Luke a dull boy.” However, I am extraor-dinarily grateful that I had the opportunity to hone my writ-ing abilities while residing in a seaside paradise. Not many journalists get the opportu-nity to write a pleasant story, let alone interview the people they have lived with for the entirety of their lives. I would

like to thank both the town of Duxbury and the staff of the Clipper for being extremely friendly and encouraging dur-ing my time at the Clipper. To paraphrase the words of the

egomaniac extraordinaire Le-Bron James, this fall, Luke is going to take my talents to the Main Line and return to Vil-lanova University.

By State Rep. Daniel WeBSteR

July 31st marks the end of the biennial legislative session in

Massachusetts. The House of Representatives and Sen-ate are attempting to recon-cile differences in a log jam of House and Senate bills cur-rently pending in conference committees. Conference com-mittees are panels made up of three House members and three Senate members charged with resolving differences in similar bills passed by each body.

One of the compromises is a legislative proposal that would permit expanded gam-ing in our state.There are le-gitimate arguments on both sides of this particular issue, but I wish to take this opportu-nity to bring light to the flawed process behind the so-called “Casino Bill” as well as other major pieces of legislation pending before the Massachu-

setts legislature.As I sit down to write this

article, there are roughly four calendar days remaining in the 2009-2010 legislative session. The House and Senate have had two full years to weigh the pros and cons of major legis-lation which would help im-prove our economy.

The House version of the expanded gaming proposal was filed this past April and debated on the House floor within days. There were never any substantive deliberations in legislative committees about the merits of this proposal pri-or to sending it to the House floor for a vote. In fact, this proposal raced its way through four legislative committees in just three days with virtually no discussion. Therefore, the public did not have an oppor-tunity to appear before a leg-islative committee and voice opinion over this proposal. At least the Senate held a public hearing on its version of the casino bill.

Beginning this process at the start of the legislative session would have provided ample opportunity for public input as well as sufficient time for legislators to study and comprehend this major eco-nomic proposal before casting a vote. Conducting the process in this manner would have al-lowed for meaningful consid-eration by both bodies as well as the conference committee.

Instead, it is now July, and the conferees charged with reconciling the differences between the House and Sen-ate versions have been in con-ference for just over 20 days and are running out of time to resolve differences in this im-portant legislation. The irony is that the key senate conferee yesterday left for a legislative conference out of state at the same time the Senate President has told the House if the con-ference committee does not reach consensus by midnight tonight the staff will not have enough time to draft any com-promise that otherwise might be forthcoming.

The expanded gaming proposal, like other lingering legislation, is quite extensive and certainly carries local, state and regional implica-tions. Attempting to pass such complex proposals on the eve of the legislature’s final recess is an abuse of the process and breach of the public’s trust. The supermajority on Beacon Hill remains incapable of gov-erning responsibly. They have proven time and again, this session, that they are unable to deal with economic crisis by taking meaningful steps to im-prove our state economy.

To ensure our state gov-ernment acts in the best inter-est of the people of Massachu-setts, in November we must return those legislators that have been fighting to improve the process and elect new ones who will bring balance to an otherwise lopsided institution that has proven it cannot gov-erning effectively.

More time needed on casino bill

Thirty-five years ago, Aug. 7, 1975, the Clipper reported on a Duxbury man that spotted a great white shark off Catalina Island. Brian Hawthorne, the boat owner (pictured), reported that the great white shark, at least 14 feet long and weighing at least 2000 pounds, was harpooned after a 1 1/2 hour struggle and brought to San Diego for scientific study and exhibit. Winkie Anderson, formerly of Duxbury, flew the spotter plane that first spotted the shark and met the boat in Avalon where he helped get the shark down into the hold for cold storage.

Back to school. It’s hard to believe, but for the first time in modern history, my

wife and I won’t be sending a child into the Duxbury Schools this fall. Our youngest is going off to college. Our middle school Latin teacher and high school librarian (who’s bragging?) Don’t count – they get paid to be down there. Since 1978 or so we’ve had students in the Duxbury schools.

Most of them clattered their way up and down the great staircases at the Alden Upper building, now the Duxbury Free Library. When we started our first down there, the Village

People were living it up at the YMCA, and the Bee Gees were Stayin’ Alive. By the time we started the last one in Kindergarten, Celine Dion was sure that her Heart Would Go On.

In a never repeated classic, 1978 showed us the family life of Wookies in George Lucas’s Star Wars Christmas Special – I still like the colossal juxtaposition of that one – and by 1998, Godzilla had returned, this time crushing New York instead of Tokyo. I’d give my eye teeth for some of the

WHAT’S GOING ON HERE?

By mike Halloran, sports editor [email protected]

The season started with a surprising opening game vic-

tory over powerhouse Plym-outh North: a rarity in the 18-year coaching career of DHS baseball Coach Barney Earle.

While it did much to moti-vate Earle’s senior-laden team, it came with no guarantees of a winning season, yet it did send a message that the Drag-ons had some potential with power hitters Pat McWilliams and Matt Savard, along with pitching ace Jeff Blout.

Rarely does a team win with just three players, so it was a must that Earle find oth-ers on his bench who could contribute in what he knew would be his final season.

Players who sat on the bench in 2009 and others who weren’t even on the varsity the previous season now had their chances.

While the big question was where would the offense come from, it got answered quickly as Duxbury pounded oppos-ing pitchers by averaging over eight runs per game: a figure that even an average pitching staff could survive with.

With every win came confi-dence, while a different player made significant contributions every night. As their winning streak grew, they garnered the attention of Patriot League op-ponents and the media.

It was the end of May be-fore the Globe took notice, moving them up to ninth in their weekly poll, as the Drag-ons just kept on winning with an 11-game winning streak and a 15-2 record.

Baseball community honors retiring Earle

Retiring DHS baseball coach Barney Earle is hanging it up after 18 years of leading the Dragons, so he can accompany his wife Christine in watching his own boys, Ryan and Casey, develop their baseball careers.

Seniors Jeff Blout, Matt Savard, and Pat McWilliams flank next year’s captains junior Pat Sweeney (second from left) and Joe Coyne (third from left). continued on page 4

Interfaith school supply and backpack driveThe TLC Backpack Committee of the Duxbury Interfaith Council is making plans for the

preparation and distribution of backpacks and school supplies to our less fortunate neighbors in Duxbury. Our goal is to provide new backpacks and new school supplies to the students of families facing financial hardships in grades K-12. Your generous donation will help our future generation be equipped to learn and enjoy school. The cost of a backpack with school supplies varies by grade but on average is $100. We are hoping to raise $6,000 in order to meet our needs. One hundred percent of all donations go back into the community. We are grateful for your continued support, as are the 60 recipient stu-dents and their families.

The Duxbury Interfaith Council is accepting new school supplies and new backpacks. You may drop off your dona-tions at the Duxbury Senior Center, 10 Mayflower Street from now to Aug. 31. Drop off times are Monday, Wednes-day and Thursday: 8 a.m.-4 p.m., Tuesdays: 8 a.m.–8 p.m. and Fridays 8 a.m.-12 noon.

For more information and a complete list of needed sup-plies, please contact us at 781-934-8388 or visit our Web site at duxinterfaith.com.

lunch boxes and backpacks that passed through our house over those years. They’d be worth a bundle.

Which brings me to my point: tips for hanging on to those moments as the years slide by. (Believe me. They are sliding by).

Never let a child start the year without a fresh box of crayons. By the time they reach middle school, they’ll hide them from their pals, but they’ll know they’ve got them. Snazzy markers are fine (and usually required) but they just don’t have that back to school smell. Don’t waste your time with the off brands. You can save plenty of money elsewhere, and Crayola’s 64 box still has a sharpener.

Don’t bother with a backpack that a kid won’t use. Take them with you to pick one out. The same with lunch boxes. Kids know they’ll have to stand tall and alone with their choices in the hallways and lunchrooms of life. Don’t make them stand with Smurfs, when Transformers are all the rage.

Don’t send them off thinking you have the slightest idea how it will all turn out, or how they will turn out. Their talents, fears, friends and dreams will be their own. Meanwhile, remember that the cookies you give them – and they give you – will never be forgotten. They’ll mean more in the end than the values you try to hammer into them. Hammered values never seem to take hold. Lived values do. Don’t be surprised if their values and life style swings away from yours – they may be onto something you haven’t seen. But don’t forget the cookies.

Don’t throw them to the wolves, either. Nothing takes a kid through school like parents engaged in the process. When it really counts, make sure, Dads, that you show up. All feminism aside, nothing makes school folks take notice like a Dad showing up. A certain gravitas hovers around Dads, and your kids will notice it, too.

You’ve heard how important it is to read to your children. My great regret is that I didn’t do it more. I learned, though, that I could find stories and books that didn’t make me want to burst like a grape. Curious George is not required. A.A. Milne is fine. I also learned that kids think I can tell a story, even if I just make it up. When they’re little, they even think I can sing.

Keep their art work, and keep their writing. It never actually fills more than a couple of folders. You can find the space for it. The day will come when it will mean something great to them, and they’ll love that you preserved their juvenilia. You’ll be surprised how much they understood, how much they remember, and how much they loved. But don’t forget the Crayolas, and don’t forget the cookies.

Back to WHAT?continued from page one

At no time in Earle’s coaching career had he been on a run like this, and it start-ed to look like the Impossible Dream revisited.

Three more wins and a Pa-triot League title established Duxbury (18-2) as a DII South Sectional power and they were recognized accordingly with the No. 2 seed.

An opening game win over Milton and a thrilling late inning comeback win over Greater New Bedford was put-ting all the pieces in place for a storybook ending.

Jeff Blout’s masterful per-formance in a 5-0 shutout of Plymouth North earned Earle his first Sectional title, and the senior hurler was ready to pick up the ball again when the Dragons took on “unbeatable” Masconomet (23-0).

Everyone was beatable with the way Duxbury was playing and the North’s No. 1 seed found themselves on the losing end of a 2-1 decision, watching their opponents cel-ebrating their Eastern Mass title.

The spotlight was now on Earle and his squad, as they had proved the prognostica-tors totally wrong.

Northbridge had it own winning streak of 22 games and quickly jumped on top with a 1-0 lead and pitch-er Evan Mackintosh on the mound.

While Mackintosh mes-merized Duxbury hitters for the first six innings with a 3-0 lead, there was always hope that the Dragon miracle would continue, even with one out left in their arsenal.

They did manage to push a run across and load the bases

in the last inning, but Mackin-tosh ruined the dream for Earle and his team by blowing three strikes down the middle.

Earle recalled his magical ride at Tuesday night’s ban-quet and farewell reception held at the PAC.

“What these kids did for me and my coaches goes well beyond anything I could have imagined,” said Earle. “My goal every year is to teach them some baseball, but more im-portantly to teach them a work ethic. When you work hard at something good things hap-pen. By working hard you cre-ate memories about the good times you had playing high school baseball. Years from now the wins and loses will be forgotten, but the friends you made and the fun times you had will still be there.”

While Earle was quick to deflect the praise toward his players, he couldn’t stop it from coming his way from as-sistant coaches Guy Leedom and Tim Bush.

“Barney teaches disci-plined baseball and he teaches them to enjoy the game,” Lee-dom told the audience. “He’s a disciplinarian who teaches control and values. All the things that parents want in their children. One of his great traits is his transparency. He has great communication with the parents and his players. There is no kid on that team that doesn’t know where he stands. His success has been enormous. If you measure success by how a situation is when you start, as opposed to how it is when you leave, then the meteoric rise of baseball in Duxbury is due to Barney Earle.”

Also joining Earle at his farewell was his wife Chris-tine, and sons Ryan and Casey, who are heavily involved in baseball themselves and are looking forward to having an-other fan cheering them on a regular basis.
