Ballot questions, races

VOTES 2009 the wire ––
Duxbury vot-
ers turned out in
droves to the polls
on Saturday for the town’s an-
nual elections.
Although the 3,152 resi-
dents who cast their ballots
was a higher number than last
year’s 2,381 –– and there was
a contested selectman’s race
and public safety ballot ques-
tions last year as well ––Town
Clerk Nancy Oates was still
unhappy with the turnout.
“I’m a little disappointed
... Those are big questions,”
she said, referring to the ballot
initiatives.
Oates said the vote count
at the end of the night went
smoothly, and that only a
handful of ballots needed to
be counted by hand.
“These machines are fabu-
lous,” she said. “It went very
well at the end.”

an annual tradition in town.
Former selectman John Tuffy

“I gotta hand it to him, he

said.
He didn’t think there was a
particular issue that led to the
election’s outcome.
“I don’t believe there was
any protest vote,” he said.
Martecchini, who is cur-

said he’s planning on staying
involved in town government.
“I’m staying active, I’m
not going away at all,” he said.
“I’ve got a lot invested in the
town and I think I can still
contribute to the town.”
He said passing the pay-

one of the accomplishments
he was most proud of during
his tenure.

President and Mrs. Obama planted a kitchen garden on the
grounds of the White House and with that seemingly simple
step, have taken a leading role in the ongoing international
dialogue about food. By growing tomatoes, beans, herbs
and other vegetables in their back
yard, they are making a statement
that they care about the origins of
their food and are supporting local
sustainability.
The Obamas certainly aren’t the
first to embrace the idea of turning
away from industrialized food and
towards locally grown ingredients.
The “Slow Food” movement
suggests that we should know the origins of the food that lands
on our plates. The seeds of the Slow Food movement were
planted as a grass roots organization in 1989 when outraged
Italian citizens successfully prevented the fast food giant
MacDonald’s from establishing a franchise at the base of the
ancient Spanish Steps in Rome.
From this initial success grew a global movement to
preserve heirloom varieties of edible plants and animals,
promote local food traditions, and advocate for healthy food
practices.
If eating all-local, all-the-time is intimidating, set a more
attainable goal. Try fixing one meal a week or even a month
that is comprised of ingredients made within 200 miles of
where you live. Although the accepted definition of “local”
is food that is produced within 100 miles, make it easy on
yourself and expand the radius to include Vermont cheeses,
grass fed beef from Rhode Island and shrimp from the coast of
Maine.
Take an extra moment when shopping and check your
labels; you will be surprised at how many products you can
find that are produced locally. Hand cut pastas and locally
made sauces are readily available at grocery stores and at the
smaller independently owned markets that dot the South Shore.
Alfredo Aiello based out of Quincy and Serino’s Pasta from
Hyde Park both offer excellent pastas, pizzas and sauces. Pair
them with artisinal breads such as Jessica’s, baked in Woburn
or Pain D’Avignon breads from Hyannis and a bottle of
Westport Vineyards Wine for an easy to prepare local meal.
The South Shore boasts several excellent turkey farms
as well as fish markets selling locally caught fish. Hanover
Lobster and Seafood is currently offering succulent Cape Cod
scallops which can be dusted with breadcrumbs and drizzled
with Kate’s Homemade Sea Salt butter from Maine for a
divine dinner. Create a cheese plate made with Great Hill
Blue Cheese from Marion, Shy Brother’s Hannahbells from
Westport and a sharp cheddar from Cabot in Vermont. For
an extra “slow food” twist, drizzle local honey atop the blue
cheese and serve Effie’s Oatcakes in place of commercially
made crackers.
A simple way to participate in the Slow Food movement
is to shop locally. If you can’t create a meal entirely of locally
crafted products, try avoiding the big box stores and shop at
independently owned businesses. Foodie’s Market, Trucchi’s
Supermarket and Roche Brothers are all locally owned grocery
stores. In addition, there are many excellent butcher shops,
fish markets and specialty stores that carry superlative products
and offer personalized customer service that make shopping
pleasurable.
As spring becomes summer, farmer’s markets begin to
open, small farms set up their honor stands and signs for “local
honey” and “fresh eggs” begin to crop up. Don’t drive past
these treasures, stop in, say hello and make a purchase; bring
Slow Food to your table.

susanna@duxburyclipper.com

One of the themes of the

recently closed Town Meet-
ing was the need to think long
term when it comes to capital
needs. In response to past re-
quests, the Fiscal Advisory
Committee presented a pre-
liminary long term capital
plan that includes a potential
of $144 million in capital proj-
ects over the next ten years.
Committee member David
Madigan said that Duxbury
residents are looking at nine
major construction projects
that would all require tax in-
creases to pay for them. They
would be funded through
Proposition 2 1/2 debt exclu-
sions, which raise taxes only
for the life of a project.

vided by town and school of-

Madigan.
Also needed is a new De-

average bill by $33 beginning

costs of each project and how
much each would increase
an average tax bill. He used


an average home value of
$655,923 and an average tax
bill of $7,263 for FY2010. He
stressed that these amounts
and tax impacts are a moving
target and can change depend-
ing upon many factors such as
construction start dates, inter-
est rates, and when current
town debt is retired from the
books.
According to Madigan,
the fire station renovation
project with a $5.2 million
price tag would add $87 to
the average tax bill for the
next fiscal year, FY11. The
$2.2 million pool renovation
would add $37. The Chandler
school roof project with a $1.5
million cost and a 40 percent
reimbursement from the state
of $620,000 would add $19.

Heinstadt keeps his
School Committee seat
continued from page one
a.m. Despite national and lo-
cal research showing that
older students benefit from a
later start, showing improved
grades and reduced behavioral
problems, the issue stirred a
passionate response from the
community. Parents of Al-
den students said the effect of
the change on their children
hadn’t been properly studied,
and high school students ex-
pressed concerns about after
school activities.
Heinstadt voted against
making the change (it was
approved by a 3-2 vote) say-
ing he didn’t think enough re-
search had been done on the
change, and that he didn’t see
a pressing demand for a shift
coming from high school par-
ents and students.
Listernick said that as an
educator, he saw first-hand
how sleepy older students that
would benefit from a later start
time.
After the election, both
men acknowledged the im-
portance of that issue in the
results.
“If you talk to the par-
ents of the Alden School stu-
dents I have a feeling that’s
what they’re going to say at
Wednesday’s [School Com-
mittee meeting,]” said Hein-
stadt.
That statement was one
thing his opponent agreed
with.
“It would have been a
closer vote if there hadn’t been
this issue with the school start
times –– not to take anything
away from John,” said List-
ernick. “To say it would have
changed the outcome was real-
ly a reach, but I think it would
have been closer ... I really do
feel a lot of people voted on
this one issue.”
Heinstadt also thought his
six years of experience on the
committee was a big element
in his victory.
“Name recognition is an
important factor,” he said.
“I’ve been in town 33 years
compared to Glenn who is a
relative newcomer.”
Listernick was upbeat after
the election, looking at the sit-
uation –– well, like a teacher.
“It was a really really posi-
tive experience getting to see
democracy at a grassroots
level,” he said, pointing out
his two children got to see the
democratic process in action.
He said if he ran again ––
something he said he’d seri-
ously consider –– he’d make
more of an effort to get out in
the community and connect di-
rectly with Duxbury residents.
He also had kind words for his
opponent.
“I congratulate John. We
do differ on some issues but
he’s a good hearted guy who
wants to do the best for the
schools,” Listernick said.

presented both opinions and
facts that had never been con-
sidered or presented to the com-
mittee prior to their decision to
make the change, such as sleep
deprivation for Alden students,
loss of family time, safety is-
sues, and impact on special
education students. Since these
were not considered, discussed,
or brought forth prior to the
3-2 vote, the school commit-
tee did not receive relevant
information needed to make
an informed decision. Also,
no discussion among school
committee members took place
prior to the vote.
As a result, they are be-
ing asked to rescind their vote.
Some question why the com-
mittee should consider chang-
ing its’ vote, as this was a dem-
ocratic process. The answer
is that any process that does
not follow its own rules, does
not look at all the relevant in-
formation, and does not allow
for input and discussion, is not
democratic!
School Committee mem-
bers are being urged to rethink
their position and at the very
least, take a step back and go
back to the drawing board.
Given the way this whole pro-
cess was handled it seems rea-
sonable to do just that.

very sad with the passing of our
dad, but we were blessed to be

this town very much. He fre-

We moved to Duxbury in
January 1970, where my broth-
ers and sisters and I all went
through our school years. The
five of us all got married here
and we still come back for the
fourth of July parade every year.
Mom and Dad regrettably sold
the house on Keene Street in
2001 but they were still heavily
involved with their church.
Since moving to Duxbury,
Dad could always be found at

n Feb. 4, the School Committee voted 3-2 in fa-
vor of a change in school start times so that DMS/
DHS students would start school later, and Alden
students would start earlier. The School Committee consid-
ered all the evidence and exercised their elected responsibility
of casting a vote on behalf of what is best for the majority of
students, not just some of the students.
Since that vote, a group of parents in strong opposition
to this decision are going to great lengths to try and overturn
it. While they may find strength in their resolve, their efforts
have resulted in misinterpretation and misrepresentation of
the scientific evidence.
How do I know this? In addition to being a Duxbury par-
ent, I also am a research neuropsychologist at Boston Uni-
versity School of Medicine. I study the brain and behavior.
While I do not specialize in sleep, my colleagues include re-
searchers who do. Through this professional network, I have
been in touch with sleep researchers from Boston University
School of Medicine, Harvard Medical School and the College
of the Holy Cross. The overwhelming consensus among re-

child and realize that one day
he or she will be driving a car
for the first time as a teen. You
see, children grow up. Think
about the fact that the high-
est rate of mortality in teens
is from driving drowsy – not

the research now that tells us
why. Adolescents, who have
little driving experience, are the

want to commend the ef-
forts of the high school
students who wrote of
their concerns with the change
in school start times. They are
in good company as many stu-
dents and parents have voiced
these concerns across the coun-
try. Luckily, there is good data
to alleviate their concerns.
Excellent reports from the
Center for Applied Research
and Educational Improvement
at the University of Minnesota
are available online and are
well worth a look. Researchers
studied the impact of a change
in school start time from 7:15

at the Duxbury Schools Web
site if you would like to see
for yourself. While there are
many advantages we can give
to our children, perhaps set-
ting limits and putting them to
bed consistently at 8:30 a.m. as
fourth graders is one of the best
to assure that they are healthy
and happy. It’s a different case
with teenagers. Puberty trig-
gers a real and biological sleep
change that does not allow them
to go to bed early. The School
Committee decision to change
school start time takes this ma-
jor difference in these two age
groups into account. We want
all our children to thrive, but

met for rehearsals and clubs
before school, while others met
with teachers and received ex-

during class. Students were
less stressed and reported fewer
symptoms of depression.
Afterschool activities were
affected by the time change.
Practices started later and some
students missed classes at the
end of the day to travel to away
games. Nonetheless, participa-
tion in extracurricular activities
did not change. Many activi-
ties saw students more alert and
energetic at the end of the day.
Perhaps the most telling
finding was the broad accep-

perience. Duxbury belongs in
the vanguard of public schools
in the Commonwealth and na-
tionally. I applaud the school
administration, school councils
and school committee for em-
bracing this simple change.
Andreas Klein, MD
Temple St
and its negative impact on academic, mental and social behav-
ior strikes me as extraordinary. It is rare to have such con-
sistency in results, particularly in studies of complex human
behaviors, such as sleep. My colleagues have also reviewed
much of the “research” of the opposition and do not believe
it has any merit because the data were misappropriated from
sleep disorder studies that are not relevant to the general sleep
patterns of adolescents and children and the change in school
start times.
But whether the research findings are sufficiently compel-
ling to all is no longer the issue. The vote has been taken
and the evidence suggests that this decision was made with
the best interest of all students in mind. Now the question is
whether a precedent should be set that every time a group of
people disagrees with the vote of elected officials they can
employ all forms of pressure tactics to have it set aside or
reversed? We elect people to take on the hard challenges and
lead our community in the directions they feel is best. Should
we ever deviate from that system, from here on out, elected
officials who are supposed to be our community leaders can
never be certain about their vote again.
I would encourage the School Committee to continue ed-
ucating the community as to why their decision benefits all
students in Duxbury as well as to keeping parents informed of
resources available to accommodate this change. But I would
strongly oppose reversing the decision.
My conviction that the majority vote should stand was
made even stronger when one of the pre-eminent researchers
in the study of adolescents and sleep shared with me details
about a recent e-mail incident. Apparently a parent from Dux-
bury who has been a vocal opponent of the School Committee
decision contacted this researcher as well. This parent sent
the researcher e-mails challenging her about her research, and
because this researcher could not support the position of this
parent, the parent’s e-mails got increasingly angry. The re-
searcher told me that they bordered on harassment and that she
was forced to break off communication because of the hostili-
ty that was being expressed. I find this information disturbing,
disheartening, and embarrassing for the Duxbury community.
It suggests that the group opposed to this initiative is not try-
ing to seek the truth, but is manipulating and distorting the re-
search, and even challenging the very researchers themselves
to get the answers and the vote they personally want. Are
these the actions that the people of Duxbury want to support?
Is this what the students of Duxbury deserve?
Dr. Amy Wolfson, Professor of Psychology at the College

Their findings included:
children at those schools did
NOT go to bed any later than
their peers at other schools.
They did however wake nearly
an hour later each day, yield-
ing nearly five additional hours
of sleep each week! There are
at least four other studies with
similar results.
In surveys and focus

felt less rushed and actually

n behalf of the committee for the All-Sports Tag Sale to
benefit Crossroads for Kids, we would like to thank the
Duxbury Clipper for helping us with publicity and the
Vercollone & Haffey families for donating the location fee. The
Senior Center was such a great location for us; and we greatly ap-
preciate the assistance of Frank Davis, Joanne Moore and Nancy
Hayes.
To the many Duxbury families who donated and purchased the
wide array of sports items, helping us raise over $1,700, we are
grateful. This is a town-wide effort for an excellent cause and will
help Crossroads to assist at-risk youth both during summer vaca-
tion and in their all-year program as well.
Please mark your calendars for the same time period next year
and save your used sports equipment for us to sell.

of the Holy Cross would like to invite the Duxbury communi-
ty to attend her presentation at Silver Lake Middle School on
Tuesday, April 28. She welcomes the opportunity to educate
parents about why the vote taken by the School Committee is,
in her professional opinion, the right one.
To the School Committee members, I wish you strength
and fortitude. My exposure to the depths of what parents will
go to when they don’t get the result they want suggests that
your position takes courage, patience and resolve. As a re-
searcher, I have the luxury of presenting the facts as best as
they can be known. But you have the burden of what to do
with it. I’m confident you will do the right thing and stand by
the Feb. 4 decision. After all, that is why we voted for you.

Another streak on the line
By Mike Halloran Sports Editor
sports@duxburyclipper.com
It’s springtime in Duxbury,
and the talk of the high school
sports season usually revolves
around the lacrosse team’s
winning streak. But now it’s
time to talk of another Dux-
bury team that has its own im-
pressive winning streak going
with hopes of continuing it for
a fifth straight season in 2009.
Coach Barney Earle’s
Duxbury baseball team may
not make state or national
headlines, but they seem to be
doing quite well in their own
little universe, having won
four straight Patriot League
titles with an excellent chance
for a repeat.
Starting his 17th season on
the bench, Earle will have to
battle through another layer of
competition this year with the
addition of Whitman-Hanson,
Quincy, and North Quincy
into the Patriot League family,
while Hingham should contin-
ue to be the Dragons’ toughest
opponent.
Despite what looks like
a very tough schedule with
the likes of Division II State
champion Plymouth North in
the opener and a pair of games
with arch-rival Marshfield, the
Duxbury coach is confident
his team, which includes eight
veteran starters and three re-
turning pitchers, is primed and
ready to take on anyone with-
out any fears.
“Experience, pitching
NO SOPHOMORE WOES: Phil Sciretta led the team in hitting as a
freshman and will now take his shot in the pitching rotation.

THE BIG BOPPERS: Captains Shane DiBona, Colin Woods, and Jack Garrity hope to lead the Dragons
to their fifth straight Patriot League title.
depth, and the ability to score
some runs should make us a
pretty formidable team,” said.
Earle. “I guess you could say
we are a very balanced team.”
Pitching is the name of the
game, and Duxbury has five
hurlers that Earle feels can take
the mound anytime and put his
team in a position to win.
“Jeff Blout, Phil Sciret-
ta, Tyler Genereux, Stephen
Blout and Conor Anderson are
our five pitchers,” said Earle.
“I’ve got enough kids who can
throw if we get in a jam, so we
Duxbury Clipper
aren’t just running two kids out
there every other day which is
a nice position to be in.”
Earle is undecided who
will pitch Wednesday’s non-
league opener with Plymouth
North, as Friday’s Patriot
League match in Hingham at
3:30 p.m. could be far more
critical down the road.
“Jeff Blout throws in the
mid-80s and has a pretty good
curve ball that can buckle
some knees,” said his coach.
“He’s working on a change-up
and he does have the velocity
that can overpower some kids.
It’s nice having a lefty like Phil
who has good velocity and an
overhand curveball that really
runs in on right-handed hitters.
This is his first year pitching
with me, but he has thrown
AAU baseball for a couple of
years and he really threw well
in our scrimmage last week. In
Genereux you have a kid that
is always going to be around
the plate. He won’t be over-
powering, but he’s going to get
people out.”
Senior catcher Colin
Woods will handle the pitch-
ing staff after doing an admi-
rable job behind the plate in
2008, while Jim Landry will
serve as a backup.
When Sciretta is not pitch-
ing, he’ll be manning the bag
at first after a freshman year in
which he was named a Patriot
League All-Star, a Patriot Led-
ger All-Scholastic (HM), and
led the team in hitting with a
.480 average.
“He plays a very solid first
base and that is his natural po-
sition,” said Earle. Senior Tom
Dacey will serve as the backup
at first base.
Photos by Mike Halloran
Matt Savard will see con-
siderable time at second base,
where he has done a nice job
defensively and can swing a
solid bat. Liam Bevans should
also get a shot at playing time
at second, but is versatile
enough that Earle could put
him at different positions.
ANOTHER SOLID PERFORMER: Senior Tyler Genereux is expected
to be a major contributor to Duxbury’s strong rotation.
Senior Sean Cross will pa-
trol shortstop for the Dragons
for the third straight year.
“He’s as good as anyone
in the league defensively and
I expect him to break out at
the plate this year,” said Earle.
Steve Blout will sub for Cross
when he needs a break.
Genereux will move over
to third base after playing sec-
ond in 2008.
“He swings a good bat
(2-run HR vs. Cohasset) and is
a hell of an athlete. He’s still
learning how to play third, but
5
he’ll be fine.” Junior Conor In-
glis will serve as his backup.
Pat McWilliams will start
in left after a solid sophomore
season, with Jeff Blout ready
as his replacement and as one
of the team’s designated hit-
ters.
Coming back for his third
year as a starter in centerfield
is Iowa-bound Shane DiBona,
who is the team’s power-hitter
in the middle of the order, hav-
ing clocked some titanic blasts
in his first two years on the var-
sity. Sitting and waiting for his
chance at some playing time in
center will be Tom Guilfoyle,
who is as solid an outfielder as
you can get.
“He’s great defensively
and the kind of kid you can put
in the game in the late innings.
He is also showing us in the
pre-season he can swing the
bat too.”
Third-year veteran Jack
Garrity will handle the chores
in right field, with Anderson
backing him up.
“We have some kids down
on the JV team that can really
play too,” said Earle. “It’s just
a matter of numbers with all the
returning players we had this
year, so we kept them down
there to get playing time.”
While Earle is confident he
has all the parts to make anoth-
er run at the title, his only con-
cern might be over-confidence
by his players.
“You worry about them
getting a little complacent
because they know they have
so many returnees. They’ve
heard people talk about them
and think they are a lock for it.
I just don’t want them rolling
out there expecting to win ev-
ery game just by showing up.”

DOUBLE THREAT: Connor Dunphy and T.J. Scholberg will form the
Dragon’s #1 doubles team.
Sophomores Ben Startzell, Pat
Mahoney, Dan Fiset and An-
drew Pierce will also compete
for playing time with the likes
of freshmen Connor O’Keefe,
Erik Shneider and Dale Day.
“My doubles reserves are
deeper than ever this season,”
said Bunar. “The O’Keefe kid
is pretty much ready now, and
Ben Startzell will be a doubles
monster by mid-season. Most
of my other players would be
first doubles starters on most
teams.”
While Bunar likes what
he has on his roster, he knows
Hingham will be the team to
beat in the Patriot League.
“I think the league title will
be tough for us this year. Hing-
ham returns six of the seven
starters from last year’s Sec-
tional finals team.  They very
well may be the best team in
THE SURPRISE OF CAMP: Freshman Peter Muncey made such an
impression in the pre-season that he’s taken over the #2 slot.
the state. Scituate will also be
a challenge for us in  league
play,” said Bunar. “The other
big match on the schedule will
be a non-league encounter
with South Shore League  foe
Norwell High School.  With
all the inexperience we will be
putting on the court, our  best
play will be  towards the end
of the season.  I  see us as be-
ing very competitive with any
team in the state by the time
the tournament rolls around.”
There will be little rest
for the Dragons this week,
as they opened on Monday
in Norwell,  and hit the road
again on Wednesday when
they travel to Sandwich for a
3:30 p.m. match with the Blue
Knights. On Friday they take
on Hingham in their first Pa-
triot League encounter.

8 Duxbury Clipper
Seniors will have to carry softball team
By Mike Halloran Sports Editor
sports@duxburyclipper.com
Let’s hope Coach Carol
Savino is wrong again this
year.
After predicting a .500 sea-
son in 2008, Savino watched
with pride as her Lady Drag-
ons went deep into post season
play before dropping a heart-
breaking decision to eventual
State champion Ashland.
While this year’s squad
will be missing Nicole Forlizzi
(Assumption), Danielle Anto-
nellis, and Anna Brady, Savi-
no still feels confident that her
team will be competitive every
time they take the field as long
as senior Casey Ducinski is on
the mound.
Owner of an 18-7 record
last year, Savino is pretty sure
her team can get to the play-
offs once again, as she relies
heavily on her senior class to
get the job done.
Returners Jacquie Cronin
at second base, Kayla McGill-
vray at third, Alanna Rourke
behind the plate, Robin Ra-
dar in right and Ducinski on
the mound will be the nucleus
for this year’s Duxbury team,
while Savino tries to work in
some underclassmen led by
freshman shortstop Maddie
Duddy.
ACE OF THE STAFF: Senior Casey Ducinski is expected to carry
the pitching load for the Lady Dragons after an all-star season in
2008 that included a trip deep into the playoffs.
“Maddie will be playing
a very key position for us this
year,” said Savino. “She’s still
learning. But there is little
doubt she’ll keep getting bet-
ter, and I expect her bat to
come around too.”
The freshman will be sur-
rounded by veterans Cronin
and McGillvray, who along
with Laura Walter at first, will
make up the Lady Dragon in-
field.
“Laura was a key player
as a junior and is very ver-
satile. She can pitch too, but
I think you’ll see her at first
most of the time,” said Savino.
HOPING FOR ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL SEASON: Senior captains Casey Ducinski, Kayla McGillvray,
and Jacquie Cronin get ready for the 2009 softball campaign.
“Cronin is quick in the field
and at the plate. She plays a
very strong second base for us,
while McGillvray is very solid
at third and one of our power
hitters in the third slot.”
Laura Donovan should see
plenty of time in left field, as
Savino wants her bat in the
lineup on a regular basis, while
freshman Kristin McHugh has
shown speed and a good eye
at the plate, which should earn
her some playing time.
Grace Kelso will be in
center field where her speed
helps her track down fly balls
and her quickness makes her a
bunting threat at the plate.
Rader will get the nod in
right field with Ducinski on
the mound, as most balls hit
off the lefthander end up out
there.
“She really knows how to
read the angles on balls hit out
Wednesday, April 1, 2009
make up the Lady Dragon
roster include: senior Brianna
Murphy, juniors Kerry Turok
and Meghan Nelson, sopho-
more Kim Bond, and fresh-
man Laurel Duffy.
“We might takes our lumps
early, but we’ll be better by the
end of the year,” said Savino.
“We have the speed and pitch-
ing to make things happen.
I’m just worried about the fact
that we have so little time to
prepare and we have some in-
experience in the infield. The
positives are we have a good
working group of kids. It’s a
good sign when you have a
bunch of freshman who work
hard because they want to get
better.”
After opening on Wednes-
day afternoon at home against
Plymouth North, the Lady
Dragons will take on Hingham
on Friday afternoon at 3:30
p.m. in its Patriot League
Photos by Mike Halloran opener.
that way,” said Savino. “When
Laura pitches you might see
me switch her to center.”
If there is one position that
Savino feels can’t be replaced
other than Ducinski, it is her
batterymate: catcher Alanna
Rourke.
“I won’t be able to replace
this kid for a long time,” said
the Duxbury coach. “She is
very good defensively and sets
up nicely behind the plate. She
played great ball all weekend
out in Plainville and can really
make contact. She just keeps
hitting the ball further and fur-
ther.”
If Rourke is considered ir-
replaceable at 1A, than the se-
nior lefthander is #1.
Considered one of the top
pitchers in the Patriot League
and on the South Shore, as well
as Greater Boston, Ducinski
will keep the Lady Dragons
in all their games according to
Savino.
Other players who will THE ROOKIE: Freshman Maddie Duddy takes on a key role in the
infield after being named the starting shortstop.
A CONFIDENT COACH: Head Coach Carol Savino gives some instructions to her players, who she
feels will make it to post-season play in 2009.

New era in girls’ tennis
By Mike Halloran Sports Editor
sports@duxburyclipper.com
The 2009 DHS girls’ tennis
team will have a new leader at
the helm, as DHS teacher Jutta
Rossano takes over the reigns
for retired teacher and coach
Glenn Pina.
Rossano, a vocabulary
and sign language teacher at
DHS, was the full-time assis-
tant coach last year after being
around the team off and on for
the past three seasons, so she
isn’t coming into the program
as a rookie.
While her tennis experi-
ence has been mainly teaching
youth, her real athletic strength
has been as a karate teacher,
and she hopes to use those
teaching skills in developing
a team that she feels will be
competitive on a regular basis
for years to come.
While Rossano calls this
year’s squad a team in tran-
sition, she does have several
players with varsity experi-
ence that she feels can get the
Lady Dragons back into tour-
nament play.
Sophomore Michaela
Dowd will move up to #1 sin-
gles this year after playing #3
last season.
“She’s a slugger,” said
Rossano. “She really hits the
ball hard and knows the court
well and where she can put her
power shots.”
While Dowd can once

ents needed for a strong year.
“Jane has a good sense
of team play and communi-
cates well on the court,” said
her coach. “Corey tends to
be very aggressive at the net.
I think they compliment each
other well and both come on
the court with a very positive
attitude.”
The top five players on the
team were easy selections for
the new coach, but now the
evaluation progress begins for
Rossano at #2 doubles where
seven players will vie for the
slots.
“Don’t be surprised if you
see me rotating all of them
in the early going,” said the
first-year head coach. “They
all have about the same skill
level, so this process should
be very challenging for all of
them.”
One thing Duxbury has

The Lady Dragons have
a foursome of freshmen who
should become integral play-
ers on the team and may get a
chance to prove it early.
Lilly and Charlotte Weil,
along with Caroline Phinney
and Nicole Hanrahan have
the tools to make a run at #2
doubles, while Phinney hits a
mean ball with good pace ac-
cording to Rosanno.
While 25 players tried out,
the Duxbury coach kept them
all with an eye toward the fu-
ture.
“I view high school team
sports as a learning experi-
ence,” said Rosanno. “This
is the time when you learn to
sacrifice, to work as partners,
learn how to handle defeat,
and how and why to make
sacrifices. I didn’t make any
cuts because I never want to
prevent any kid from getting a
passion for this game.”
The girls will open their
season on Wednesday after-
noon when they host Notre
Dame of Hingham at 3:30
p.m., followed by their first
Patriot League match on Fri-
day when they entertain Hing-
