Selectman
skirmish
Martecchini, Donato don’t see
eye to eye at candidate debate
By Justin Graeber, Clipper Editor

Is a troubled time the gold-
en opportunity for a change in
leadership, or does the town
need to lean on experience
more than ever?
That was the crux of a
contentious debate between
incumbent Selectman Andre
Martecchini and his challeng-
er Christopher Donato.
“Now is not the time to
be changing our leadership
team,” Martecchini said in his
opening statement at Wednes-
day night’s candidate forum,
sponsored by the Clipper.
“I think I have a really good
pulse of the way Duxbury runs

Donato, a first time can-

that it was time for a “fresh
perspective” on the Board of
Selectmen.

Martecchini touted his ac-

various successful programs
enacted during his time in of-
fice such as the Community
Preservation Act, the addition
of EMS services to the Fire
Department, and the pay-as-
you-throw recycling program.
He also said the town under
his tenure has taken steps to
become more user-friendly,
such as creating a Web site and
extending Town Hall hours on

The candidates for town moderator, incumbent Allen Bornheimer and

Mustard challenges Bornheimer
for Town Moderator seat
By Justin Graeber, Clipper Editor
justin@duxburyclipper.com
Town moderator candi-
dates Robert Mustard joked
that if elected, his first act
would be to appoint current
Moderator Allen Bornheimer
as his assistant, so he could
take advantage of Bornheim-
er’s nearly 30 years of experi-
ence.
Despite the jovial tone of
their debate last Wednesday, at
a candidates’
forum spon-
Town sored by the
Clipper, the
Election two men had
2009 very differ-
ent ideas on
the importance of Town Meet-
ing.
Mustard questioned the
effectiveness of Town Meet-
ing government, saying not
enough people got a chance to
make their voices heard.
“It seems to me we cur-
rently have a representative
town meeting ... but we don’t
get to vote for those represen-
tatives,” he said.
He said he would like to
investigate the idea of a rep-
resentative Town Meeting,
where town meeting members
are elected.
“I’m not satisfied it’s the
best method for us to con-
tinue,” he said of the current
system. “Most people aren’t
involved.”
Bornheimer said he was
proud of his years of service
as moderator, jokingly asking
Mustard to re-read his opening
statement, in which he praised
the current moderator’s expe-
rience.
“I love the job,” he said.
Bornheimer said he did
not favor the idea of repre-
sentative Town Meeting, but
would be willing to keep an
open mind. He defended the
current system, saying Town
Meeting voters always make
smart choices.
“We are blessed with a
very intelligent citizenry,” he
said. “The quality of the deci-
sion making is excellent.”

He pointed out that most
votes on moving the question
are nearly unanimous.
Mustard deferred to Born-

rules, but added: “The reason
people would vote for me is
because they’d like to see
some changes in town govern-
ment.”

ter job explaining its actions.
“I think there’s a percep-
tion [it’s anti-business,]” he
said. “Some folks have been
bashing the Planning Board,
somewhat unfairly.”
He said that the land plan-
ning issues the board deals
with are complex. As an ex-
ample, he said he changed his
mind on the recently proposed
lot coverage bylaw change
after attending meetings and
listening to what both sides
had to say. The bylaw change
was indefinitely postponed at
Town Meeting after much dis-
cussion.
“That’s a good reason why

law,” Cutler said he supported
Island Creek North. He said
that if the project is approved,
the town may be able to ob-
tain a temporary moratorium
on 40B projects, which allow
developers to circumvent local
zoning regulations and build
high-density projects if a per-
centage of the units are priced
under market rates.
“We need a diversity of
housing here in town,” he said.
“We can’t always be saying
no.”
Wadsworth said that al-
though he thought the location
was “a logical place” for such
a development, he had some
concerns.
“The size is far greater
than we were told it was going
to be,” he said. “The density
is significant. [The Planning
Board] thinks there may be
some real traffic issues.”
Murdock said he felt the
number of units in the pro-
posed development was sim-
ply too high.
“I’m not sure that land
supports that kind of popula-
tion density,” he said. “I think
they’re asking for way too
many units.”
With the complexity of
the issues facing the Planning
Board, all three candidates
touted their land planning ex-
perience.
Wadsworth noted he has
been on the board for 15 years,
and cited his experience in
the private sector with water
utilities. He has also been the
board’s liaison to other land
use committees like the Com-
munity Preservation Com-
mittee and the Local Housing
Partnership.
Cutler, who is the publish-
er of the Clipper but has turned
over day-to-day control of the
paper to Editor Justin Graeber,
pointed to his work as a leg-
islative aide on the Cape Cod
Land Bank, which he called a
pre-cursor to the Community
Preservation Act.
Murdock has experience
on the other side of the plan-
ning fence, working with
NStar on permitting and ob-
taining easements. He is also a
member of the Duxbury Alter-
native Energy Committee and
managed the Hull Municipal
Light Plant.

Listernick is a 30-year ed-

and an administrator.
“I am not a politican, nor
do I aspire to be one,” he said
during Wednesday’s candi-
date forum, sponsored by the
Clipper and held in the Mural
Room of Town Hall. “My de-
cision to run for school com-

“My wife said ‘why don’t
you stop complaining and do
something about it?’” he said.
Heinstadt said his finan-
cial experience is a boon to the
committee.
“I believe my broad expe-
rience in these difficult finan-
cial times will serve me well,”
he said.
The candidates stand on
different sides of what’s be-
come a controversial issue ––
the School Committee’s recent
decision to change the school
start times. Starting next year,
the high school and middle
school will start later in the
day, while students at Alden
will start earlier. The com-
mittee split 3-2 on the matter,
and Heinstadt was one of the
dissenting votes. He said he
understood the idea that older
students benefited from later
start times, but was concerned
there wasn’t enough research
done on Duxbury specifically.
“My position is ... we
looked at general research and
general data, but we didn’t do
any collection of data from
our schools,” he said. “We
didn’t identify if there are any
problems with students at the
high school that are sleep de-
prived.”
Listernick said that as an

had on older students. He also
spoke in favor of the change
at an earlier School Commit-
tee meeting, pointing out that
before education reform laws
passed, many high schools
started at 8:30 a.m.
He also said that just be-
cause there didn’t seem to be a
particular group calling for the
change, didn’t mean it wasn’t
needed. He pointed to other
large scale changes in the edu-
cation system, such as mov-
ing from a junior high school
to middle school model, and
the inclusion of special educa-
tion students into mainstream
classrooms.
“There wasn’t a massive
outcry to do that,” he said.
“Change doesn’t come from
the masses.”
The candidates also talk-
ed about the role of a school
committee member. “I think
the school committee has
to do more to take a leader-
ship role in working with the
community,” said Heinstadt.
“Working with the families,
the stakeholders, to make sure
they have a say in how Dux-
bury schools are run.”
Listernick said that if elect-
ed, he would work to maintain
the lines of communication be-
tween the school and parents.
“We need to think what
is best for all of our kids,” he
said. “We need to look at the
big picture.”
Heinstadt also said that he
believes the current school ad-
ministration has taken steps to
improve communication.
“I was elected to the
school committee six years
ago because of the level of
distrust among the families,”
he said. “I think there has been
a significant improvement ...
I think listening to individual
parents and treating them with
respect is one thing that is a
big improvement over when I
was first elected.”
Listernick also said the
current administration seemed
to be communicating better
––  not only with parents, but
with staff.
“We had a revolving door
of high school principals not
too long ago,” he said. “Now

Ballot question will decide

fate of Percy Walker Pool
Bu Susanna Sheehan, Clipper Staff
susanna@duxburyclipper.com

The effort to renovate the

Percy Walker pool took an
important step forward last
week when Town Meeting
voters supported spending
$2.2 million to upgrade the
town-owned facility on Saint
George Street.
Now the fate of the pool
will be decided at the ballot
box on Saturday. A majority
vote is required for the project
to go forward.
The pool renovations will
be paid for through a tempo-
rary tax increase, known as a
debt exclu-
sion under
Town Proposition 2
1/2. The tax
Election increase will
2009 last for 20
years.
In presenting the article,
Percy Walker pool long range
planning committee chairman
Kathy Coughlan said the push
behind the project began three
years ago with a public opin-
ion survey of the facility. Us-
ing this input and the $163,000
last year’s Town Meeting ap-
proved for architectural plans,
the pool committee created
what Coughlan called “an im-
provement and a renovation
plan.” She said the cost differ-
ence between making the pro-
posed upgrades to the building
and a straight renovation was
“nominal.”
Renovations to the 33-year
old building that was given to
the town in 1976 by anony-
mous donors include new in-
terior and exterior lighting,
new state-of-the-art heating
and cooling systems, new me-
chanical systems for the pool
and building, new plumbing
fixtures, a new men’s locker
room and a renovated wom-
en’s locker room. All other
systems will be brought up to
code, said Coughlan.
Planned improvements in-
clude a new bank of south fac-
ing windows in the pool area
behind the bleachers, a new
public entrance in the rear for
swim meets, a family chang-
ing room, a multi-purpose
room for parties and meetings,
new permanent recessed stairs
Town Meeting endorsed the pool renovation. Now it heads to the
ballot box. If a majority of voters don’t support the pool question the
facility is slated to be closed this year for budgetary reasons.
into the pool, and an improved
staff area with a small kitchen-
ette, more lockers and supervi-
sor’s area.
When creating the plan,
Coughlan said that the com-
mittee followed three basic
tenets: be reasonable in price
and scope, go green, and ben-
efit the entire community.
In trying to be environ-
mentally conscious, Coughlan
said the plans reduced demoli-
tion, reused all lockers because
they were in good condition,
installed energy efficient me-
chanical systems, and used
passive solar heating with the
new windows.
Renovating the pool will
benefit all residents because
the pool used to make more
money than its expenses, turn-
ing back the extra to the town’s
general fund. A project to in-
stall a dehumidification system
never went forward despite
two town meeting votes sup-
porting it; bids came in higher
than the money allotted. With-
out this system, the facility
continued to deteriorate and it
began to lose money as it lost
membership to area pools.
Coughlan said that sup-
porting Article 38 benefited
the community because “we’re
investing in a revenue generat-
ing asset.”
“We will change the rev-
enue stream to be a positive
cash flow,” added Recreation
Director Gordon Cushing,
who oversees the pool.
“The pool is such as won-
derful asset and is totally wor-
thy of our commitment,” said
Amy MacNab of Old Tobey
Garden Street.

speech about how much the
pool means to him and his
teammates. He supported the
article so future generations
could have the same oppor-
tunities to swim as they have
had. He and others felt that
Duxbury children needed the
pool for swimming lessons
in order to be safe around the
ocean. Duxbury fourth graders
take swimming lessons at the
pool.
Dick Sigrist of Union
Bridge Road said that if the
town closed the pool due to
budget cuts, it would still have
to pay to maintain the facil-
ity “until it collapses or until
we decide to fix it up and pay
more than $2.2 million.”
However, some residents
didn’t see it that way.
John Britten of Upland
Road said this was not the time
to be spending over $2 million
for the pool when the town
needed other projects more.
“I’m not so concerned
about the pool closing,” said
Britten. “This is not the year
to do it.”
The pool renovation proj-
ect debt exclusion will be
among six ballot questions at
the town election Saturday.

lot coverage, parking articles
everyday By Susanna Sheehan, Clipper Staff
5:30am - 3:00pm susanna@duxburyclipper.com
At the final night of Town
Meeting last Tuesday, voters
Lobster Roll sent the Planning Board back
$8.99 wow! to the drawing board on Ar-
Wed., Thurs., & Fri ticles 39 and 40, rejecting two
zoning bylaw amendments for
Bennett’s General Store lot coverage and parking regu-

Article 39 did not receive

required for zoning amend-
ments and it
Town failed, 105
to 80. Voters
Meeting then indefi-
2009 nitely post-
poned Article
40.
Article 39 sought to limit
a building’s lot coverage in
business districts to 20 percent
and allow up to 80 percent of
a lot’s area to be covered by
other impermeable surfaces,
such as parking lots, side-
walks, patios, etc. The article
also proposed keeping the re-
maining 20 percent of the lot
as open space. Current rules
state that a building’s footprint
and paved parking can’t be
over more than 50 percent of
a site, and they don’t specify
It’s Turkey Pie Season 4th committee
the percentage of a building’s
coverage versus parking area
coverage.
Proposed by the Planning
Board at the prompting of lo-
cal business owner Jackson
Kent, Article 39 was intended
to update the bylaw so com-
mercial space could flourish in
Duxbury.
“A 25 percent open space
with a 75 percent maximum
lot coverage will work for the
planning board and for citi-
zens,” said Kent. “There’s no
way business can survive with
site coverage and paved park-
ing at fifty percent lot cover-
age.”
Kent proposed an amend-
ment to lower the maximum
site coverage from the ar-
ticle’s proposed 80 percent to
75 percent and raise the open
space allowance to 25 percent
from 20 percent. The build-
ing’s lot coverage stayed at
the proposed 20 percent. His
amendment passed, however
an amendment to make the
building coverage 25 percent
failed.
Supporters of the article
claimed it would make Dux-
bury more friendly to business
development. Proponents also
said the article would affect
only one percent of the three
percent of Duxbury land that is
zoned for business, as existing
Bay Road resident Sally
Wilson spoke against the ar-
ticle, saying that any land that
was re-zoned to business could
construct a building with a
parking lot that would cover
75 percent of its property. She
said that the land rezoned two
years ago at Bongi’s Turkey
Farm on Route 53 could poten-
tially hold a building that was
four times the size of the medi-
cal building on Tremont Street
owned by Dr. Scott Oliver.
Because of the failure of
Article 39, Selectman Andre
Martecchini urged voters not
to approve Article 40, a new
set of parking regulations and
design and layout standards
for parking areas. Martec-
chini said that even though
the Board of Selectmen sup-
ported Article 40, it was tied
to the previous article and that
if approved it would “force all
parking to be paved, creating
a problem for anyone trying to
build in an NB district.”
Local builder Shawn Dahl-
en said Article 40 was “made
to be hand-in hand” with Arti-
cle 39 and without it, it would
make all buildings except two
in neighborhood business dis-
tricts non-conforming.
MacNab and Zoning Board
of Appeals chairman Dennis
Murphy supported the article.

John Britton of Upland
Road who supported the article
said: “We can’t keep handcuff-
ing the local businesses who
serve us so well.”
A third amendment, this
one proposed by planning
board member George Wad-
sworth, sought to lower the
maximum site coverage from
75 percent to 60 percent. It
was supported by planning
that required all parking spac-
es to be cement, black-top or

ronmental step because it al-

Marathon TM session tackles zoning, turbines & pot
By Susanna Sheehan, Clipper Staff
susanna@duxburyclipper.com
In a marathon session that
went until almost midnight
last Tuesday, Town Meeting
voters approved spending over
$1.7 million on school projects
but postponed taking action on
many zoning-related issues.
At the last
session of the
Town 2009 Town
Meeting Meeting, vot-
ers supported
2009 articles for a
new roof at the
Chandler elementary school, a
study of the high school and
middle school buildings and a
law to prevent public marijua-
na use, but they postponed any
action on adopting a new wind
turbine bylaw, or rezoning
property at the Baptist Church
and Island Creek housing de-
velopment on Tremont Street.
DMS and DHS Study:
Article 36, a $200,000 feasi-
bility study of the middle and
high schools received the nec-
essary two-thirds vote without
any voter discussion. It is a
four-year debt exclusion proj-
ect that must also receive voter
approval on the ballot at Satur-
day’s town election.
The study will examine the
condition of both school build-
ings, which are nearing the end
of their expected life of fifty
years. DMS was built in 1960
as a high school that could
hold a maximum enrollment
of 673. Currently, 883 students
attend school there and it has
crowding and condition issues,
said Elizabeth Lewis, chair-
woman of the school building
committee. DHS was built in
1968 for 1035 students and it
is expected there will be 1112
teenagers there by 2014. Both
schools had additions in 1974.
The study will determine
if the schools need to be com-
pletely replaced or can be
renovated, updated or need an
addition. The study is required
for reimbursement by the
Massachusetts School Build-
ing Authority.
Chandler Roof: Article
37 also passed without discus-
sion and it also received the
required two-thirds majority
vote. This is $1.5 million proj-
ect to replace a portion of the
Chandler elementary school
roof. It requires a 15-20 year
debt exclusion, which would
add $19 a year to an average
tax bill. It also is a ballot ques-
tion and must receive a major-
ity of voter approval on Satur-
day to move forward.
The project will replace a
21-year old roof on the part of
the Chandler School that was
not part of the 2002 renova-
tion/addition. At that time,
there was still life left in the
roof and the previous building
committee did not feel it need-
ed to be replaced, said school
Duxbury Clipper
building committee member
John Heinstadt.
The Massachusetts School
Building Authority has
pledged to reimburse Duxbury
$620,000 bring the town’s to-
tal cost to $920,000.
Public Use of Marijuana
Bylaw: Voters unanimously
passed Article 49, a new town
bylaw that sets the fine for pub-
lic consumption of marijuana
at $300. In November, Mas-
sachusetts voters approved a
referendum decriminalizing
the possession of an ounce or
less of marijuana, triggering
a $100 fine instead of misde-
meanor criminal charges.
Wind Turbine Bylaw:
Nearing 11 p.m., Tuesday
night, voters decided it was
too late and they were too con-
fused by the proposed amend-
ments to Article 46, a wind
facilities bylaw, to deal with it,
so they voted 56-38 to indefi-
nitely postpone it.
The town’s alternative en-
ergy committee proposed the
bylaw, which would have set
guidelines for building wind
turbines on public and private
land. The bylaw was designed
to control the size and location
of wind turbines and required
an applicant receive a special
permit for a wind facility from
the Zoning Board of Appeals.
The committee wanted rules
in place before anyone applies
to build a wind tower in Dux-
bury.
However, after the com-
mittee had finished craft-
ing the bylaw, it still needed
changes and they proposed
six amendments. While vot-
ers were trying to understand
those amendments, others on
Town Meeting floor offered
additional amendments. While
many voters said they were in-
terested in alternative energy
sources like wind power, they
were not ready to approve a
bylaw that one resident called
“half-baked.”
Tremont Street Rezoning
Postponed: Residents unani-
mously voted to indefinitely
postpone, or take no action, on
Articles 47 and 48. Article 47
was brought by citizen’s peti-
tion and it sought to rezone
a parcel of land on Tremont
Street owned by the First Bap-
tist Church from residential
to neighborhood business.
The church’s owners decided
to postpone the rezoning re-
quest.
Article 48 proposed re-
zoning two areas at the Island
Creek office and housing de-
velopment from residential to
neighborhood business. Island
Creek owners felt the rezon-
ing was necessary to include
some more commercial space
in their proposed Chapter 40B
expansion. This project would
add 238 more housing units,
including condos and apart-
15
ments as well as an assisted-
living facility. Put on the war-
rant by citizen’s petition, the
owners decided not to pursue
the rezoning and requested
indefinite postponement. The
Chapter 40B project appli-
cation is pending before the
ZBA.
In other action, Town
Meeting voters:
• Passed Article 41, to re-
accept Amado Way and Hill-
side Lane as public streets.
Town Meeting 2007 had al-
ready accepted these streets
but the paperwork was not
submitted to the Registry of
Deeds on time, so they needed
to be re-voted.
• Passed Article 42 and up-
dated the zoning map.
• Passed Article 43 and
amended the wireless tele-
communications section of the
zoning bylaw.
• Passed Article 44 and
authorized the town manager
to designate a permitting au-
thority to enforce state trench
safety regulations.
• Passed Article 45, giv-
ing Verizon an easement at the
Damon well site to service its
equipment.
• Indefinitely postponed
Articles 50, adding money to
the Stabilization fund, and Ar-
ticle 51 using free cash to re-
duce the tax rate. No free cash
was used in the FY10 operat-
ing budget.

POLL PROGNOSTICATOR: Town Clerk Nancy Oates is hopeful that

the many ballot questions will draw voters to the polls during
Saturday’s election. However, she pointed out that last year’s
turnout was only 2,381 despite three important questions on
the ballot. “We will be fortunate to get 3,000 voters,” she said.
“I’d be delighted to get up to 4-5,000.” She said her office has
received 90 requests for absentee ballots –– which is under the
average. Last year the clerk’s office had 294 requests for absen-
tee ballots. The polls are open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Saturday,
March 28, at the Duxbury Middle School.

Tarkiln farmers market
proposal moves forward
By Susanna Sheehan, Clipper Staff
susanna@duxburyclipper.com
The organizers of the pro-
posed farmers market, hoping
to use the Tarkiln Community
Center this summer, told se-
lectmen this week they have
changed the time of the mar-
ket in order to avoid a conflict
with the youth baseball games
held there.
Laura Doherty of the Dux-
bury Farmers/Artisans Market
Committee said that baseball
games are played at the fields
behind Tarkiln every week-
day starting at 5:30 p.m. and
that Saturdays are used for
rain dates. Because of this,
Doherty said organizers have
decided to change the weekly
market’s time to 1-5 p.m. on
Wednesdays instead of 2:30 to
6:30 p.m., which was initially
proposed. The Tarkiln Com-
munity Center is located on
Route 53.
When selectmen met mar-
ket organizers four weeks
ago, they indicated they were
concerned about traffic issues
and conflicts with the baseball
games. They did not comment
on the market’s new time, al-
though Selectmen Chairman
Jon Witten said he supported
the farmers market at Tarkiln.
The men and women of the Duxbury Police Union
appreciate the support the town has given us
throughout the years!
We are asking you to continue your support at
Saturday's Town Election
“I think this is the right spot
and I am in support,” he said.
“Let’s move this forward.”
However, Selectman Bet-
sy Sullivan brought up new
concerns. She was worried
that having a farmers market
on town property “smacks of
a commercial venture and that
makes me nervous,” she said.
Doherty said the commit-
tee was hoping to form a non-
profit corporation to take care
of the business operations of
the farmers market, such as
receiving fees from vendors
and hiring a market manager.
Sullivan said she thought the
non-profit organization ought
to be in place before the mar-
ket started this summer.
Sullivan was also con-
cerned that the committee
members could be liable if any
accidents occurred during the
farmers market. Doherty said
that all vendors were required
to carry their own insurance.
She added that the Cohasset
town green is used for a farm-
er’s market.
Selectman Andre Martec-
chini again brought up the is-
sue of construction at Tarkiln
now that Town Meeting has
approved spending Commu-
nity Preservation Act funds

Library Trustees
have lived in Duxbury for 28 years while rais-
ing my daughter and working full-time. I am
married to Robert Mustard, Jr. I have most
recently worked for nonprofits,
the New Bedford Oceanarium,
the New England Women’s
Fund, and the Girl Scouts of
Eastern Massachusetts. Previ-
ously, I have served as an ex-
ecutive with Arnold Worldwide,
Reebok International Ltd. and
Summit Autonomous Inc. where
I was an officer of the company.
Kate Sturgis I have volunteered for the Vin-
cent Club, the Junior League,
the Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cru-
elty to Children (MSPCC), Derby Academy, Middle-
sex School, Wheaton College, the Duxbury Art As-
sociation, the Duxbury Music Festival and Pilgrim
Church, where previously I headed Outreach and
was a member of the Board of Trustees. I also was a
member of the Duxbury Cultural Council and was a
board member for the Big Brothers of Boston. I grew
up in Greenwich, CT and graduated from Greenwich
Academy and Wheaton College in Norton, MA. My
mother began taking me to the local library when I
was three years old and I have loved libraries ever
since. My professional and volunteer skills I believe
make me well suited to be a Duxbury Library Trust-
ee.
M
y name is Laney Siddall Mutkoski and
I am an incumbent running for my sec-
ond term as Library Trustee. My hus-
band, Chris, and I have three
children ages 13, 11, and nine
and own a medical communi-
cations business that is based
in Braintree. We have called
Duxbury our home for the past
seven years. In addition to serv-
ing the community as a trustee,
I have also coached field hock-
ey for the Duxbury Recreation
Laney Mutkoski Department since 2005. My
other volunteer efforts include
teaching CCD at Holy Family parish, coaching girls
basketball and volunteering both in my children’s
classrooms and as a Den Leader for the Boy Scouts
of America since 2003. The current Library Board of
Trustees is a great cross section of our community.
I represent the families of Duxbury with school age
children and also bring a business owner’s perspec-
tive to the board. Thank you for allowing me to serve
as Library Trustee. I have truly enjoyed my first term
and have learned so much in these past three years. I
respectfully ask you to vote so I can continue to work
on your behalf.
A
town as special as Duxbury does not just
happen without the involvement of very
thoughtful citizens getting involved to
continually shape it’s future. I
enjoy being involved in many
local organizations and com-
mittees that make our town and
region one of the best places to
live, work and play. People of-
ten describe me as a connector.
I enjoy bringing diverse groups
together to create something
greater. A year ago I worked
Paula Harris with the library and the Plym-
outh Philharmonic to create a
special program in conjunction with the town wide
reading of the Soloist. A colleague once described me
“as the calm in the storm”. I am able to quickly as-
sess a situation and break it down to solvable pieces.
Lastly, a skill that serves me well in my professional
life is the ability to listen. When one serves in a vol-
unteer role, it is very important that they are able to
listen to the feedback from their fellow citizens and
share it as appropriate.
Why are you running for library trustee: The
overall character of Duxbury is very important to me.
I continue to stay involved in open space issues and
felt it was time to serve one of my other great joys in

the current financial chaos is going to affect taxpay-

town—the library. The library is a town wide service
that serves every citizen, of all ages, in one place in
our town. It is a true hub of the community that feeds
our minds and cultural souls. It inspires and connects
people to the possibility of life long learning. In dif-
19
ond service goal in the long range plan is Lifelong
Learning and focuses on encouraging reading, sup-
porting adults expanding their interests and intellec-
tual pursuits, and insuring students will be able to
obtain information, materials, and assistance to sup-
port their courses of study As a lifelong learner and
voracious reader, I want to be sure the library has the
budget and community support it needs to continue
to encourage reading in whatever way our citizens
choose. If readers young and old want the option
of sometimes reading and researching electronically,
I would support the library acquiring a quantity of
Kindles or Sony Readers which patrons could sign
out. An electronic reader as opposed to a suitcase full
of books taken on vacation may be the way of the
future. The technology will continue to advance and
the costs change and finding a way for the library to
stay on the cutting edge of the technology is some-
thing I am interested in supporting. I personally will
never give up my books, but if our library is here to
meet the needs of our citizens that is one example of
an issue I would support as a library trustee.
it is for any of our town’s services. It will be impor-
tant that the Trustees work closely with the Library
Director to work within the Town’s budget and still
be able to offer programs and services people have
come to expect and appreciate from our library. I
believe that my experience over the past three years
and my visibility in the community through my other
volunteer efforts enables me to accomplish this task.
In the next three years I will continue to work hard
with the other Trustees and the Library Director to
review and address our policies and programs which
best ensure that our community will (continue to)
benefit from and freely enjoy the services, programs
and resources that the library offers to all Duxbury
residents. Historically, libraries see a drastic increase
in use during difficult economic times and (our cur-
rent economic challenges have shown that) we are
finding that history is repeating itself. Our challenge
is that at a time of greater demand we are faced with
budgetary shortfalls. As a home and business owner,
I am adept to having to balance wants and needs with
available resources. I look forward to continuing my
work with the Trustees and through the dedication,
collaboration and creative solutions of the library
staff, board of trustees and residents, I anticipate con-
tinued programming and services that meet the needs
of our community. Please vote for Laney Mutkoski,
Library Trustee on March 28.
ficult economic times, the library becomes an even
greater resource to the citizens through the borrow-
ing of books, music & DVDs. The museum pass pro-
gram, the free lecturers, discussion groups, the won-
derful movie programs and art exhibits are plentiful
and always changing. The library, I believe, is one of
the best investments of our tax dollar. Ensuring that it
continues to have the funds to serve the diverse needs
of the community is important. The recent change to
the school start times will have an impact at the li-
brary. There will need to be careful attention paid to
the ripple effect of that decision on the library, the
staff and the patrons. Already, many parents allow
their children to frequent the library after school and
that often puts the library staff in a difficult position
of having to interact with children who are often not
mature enough to be left unsupervised.

Why are you running for moderator? I
believe that in this era of change, we can af-
fect change at the local level, and I would like
to do so with the format of Town Meeting to
limit the amount of time that people speak on
issues. Whereas the voters have ample notice
of the warrant, they should be able to prepare
concise remarks on any given issue to be de-
livered within three minutes and have a one
minute follow-up. As Moderator, I would as-
sess whether the remarks were furthering un-
selectmen and appropriate town committees to
explore improved participation in town govern-
ment. Whereas the Town Meeting is broadcast
and the warrant published in advance, voters
should be able to watch the proceedings and
vote either electronically or to cast their vote
via physical means within one day of the meet-
ing. It seems to me that voters should not nec-
essarily have to attend the meeting to cast their
vote. I believe we should explore electronic
means of voting. I propose to chair a commit-
tee to determine the most appropriate means of
making viable changes. Finally, even though I
believe in term limits, if elected, I would im-
mediately appoint Mr. Bornheimer as assistant
Moderator, to secure his counsel and aid in the
transition. I propose the town change the elec-
tion cycle for Moderator to two years. It would
be an honor to serve my town and I appreciate
the great service that our elected and appoint-
ed officials have rendered. I would like to see
more citizens have the opportunity to partici-
pate. I will also establish regular hours to meet
with citizens. If there are hot issues to be dealt
with, shouldn’t Mustard be on it?

I
Planning Board
moved to Duxbury from my apartment in Lin-
coln in the early 1980s when my office moved
from Boston to Hyannis. I remember looking
at various communities south of
Boston and in Cape Cod, and
felt that Duxbury was closer to
my Lincoln experience, close
enough to the office and the
amenities of Boston. Lincoln
gave me an appreciation for an
aggressive open space purchas-
ing, and rural preservation adja-
cent to an urban area. I served
George Wadsworth on a couple of committees in
Lincoln having to do with af-
fordable housing policy and community housing
administration. After arriving in Duxbury, I attended
town meetings and decided to run for the position of
Water Commissioner. With the development of the
Department of Works, the Water Advisory Board was
created and I was asked to serve on it. I have been
there ever since. Some fifteen years ago, I was asked
to run for Planning Board. During parts of that time
I served as Clerk, Vice Chairman and Chairman, and
have been the Planning Board designate to the Com-
munity Preservation Committee, the MBTA Adviso-
ry Board, the Local Housing Partnership committee
and other adhoc committees. My work experience is
I
’m Josh Cutler and I’m running for one of
two seats on the Planning Board. I grew up on
Bay Ridge Lane and now live on Vine Street
with my wife, Leslie, and our
two-year-old son, Charlie. I’m
a proud Duxbury “townie” who
still remembers shopping at
Sweetsers and taking my first
bike ride to Hall’s Corner. I also
spent a chunk of my life living
outside of Duxbury and I think
that gives me a healthy per-
spective. For the past ten years
Josh Cutler I’ve been editor of the Clipper,
a family business founded by
my grandparents. Last year I gave up those reins
and now focus on the business side of the business.
Previously, I served as a legislative aide at the State
House. There I worked on many land-use issues, in-
cluding the Cape Cod Land Bank, a landmark bill
that eventually led to the Community Preservation
Act. Before moving back to Duxbury, I served as a
Selectman in Hull. I was the chairman of the town’s
Recycling Committee and a member of the Plymouth
County Advisory Board. I’m a graduate of Skidmore
College and Suffolk Law School.

quantities of water generated by large paved areas
such as roads and parking areas. The Planning Board
has been strict in their requirements for stormwater
management in new subdivisions, requiring a drain-
age system which disposes of these waters in drain-
age swales, however this requirement has not been
imposed on the commercial parking areas except
by choice of the property owner. A related issue is
impervious coverage, with a general acceptance of
pavement of all parking areas which allows for a bet-
ter management of this stormwater. However, the
treatment of this water with removal of in-solution
contaminants has yet to receive the level of support
needed on the Planning Board. Clearly, additional
education of all members is needed because this is
an issue now being viewed by the EPA as needing
more regulation. The size of parking areas needed for
a commercial application needs more attention both
for stormwater management purposes and for traffic
purposes.
an “open space guy” first and foremost, but I would
like to see the town be more encouraging of the busi-
ness community and I think the planning board has
a role to play there. The phenomenon of “McMan-
sions” also concerns me. I cringe every time I see a
modest Cape torn down just because the land is more
valuable than the home. It’s not an easy topic to ad-
dress since we’re dealing with property rights. In
some ways we’re a victim of our own success. Still,
I hope we can find ways through education, zoning
and historic districts to preserve the character of our
neighborhoods. This issue dovetails into the broader
issue of affordable housing, a topic sure to stir up
strong feeling all around. I find Chapter 40B a puni-
tive process that tilts the playing field much too far in
favor of the developer. I’d like to shift the focus to
ways we can provide much-needed housing and still
remain in control of the process. Inclusionary zon-
ing, the Affordable Housing Trust fund, and creative
ideas like the “recycled house” program are positive
ways to achieve that end. While those are some ma-
jor issues, I’m not running with a specific agenda. To
the contrary, we need to approach every issue with an
open mind. I’ll bring that and a fresh perspective to
the job. I’ve been attending all Planning Board meet-
ings and I’m ready to hit the ground running. I’d be
honored to have your vote, Duxbury.
ing to learn about how the town operates and would
like to take a more active role by participating in an
elected position. The town has done very well with
most aspects of managing resource and planning,
there is always an opportunity to do things differ-
ently. As previously mentioned I like the rural char-
acter of Duxbury. I cannot think of anyone I know
in town who does not. By participating in town gov-
ernment that would be my main objective. The Dux-
bury Alternative Energy Committee is sponsoring a
by-law that would regulate the installation of wind
turbines in Duxbury. I have an extensive background
in energy and believe that taking care of Duxbury’s
energy needs in a clean and sustainable manner will
be even more important in the future. I would also
like to help make Duxbury a model of energy usage
and possibly production. Sustainability goes beyond
energy. Water resources, wastewater processing and
run-off are all factors to be considered for ensuring
that we provide a clean environment for the future.
I would like to make sure Duxbury continues to pay
attention to water and the impact it has on life in
Duxbury.

Why are you running for School Committee: My
decision to run for school committee is embedded in
my belief that all children can learn, be successful in

ate of the Lynnfield public school system I firmly

public school system. The Duxbury Public Schools
continue to strive to meet the educational needs of
all students. Providing all students with 21st century
skills enabling them to succeed and compete for ca-
the Board of Assessors we had a very different
real estate climate. I was concerned then about
the increasing costs of owning and maintaining a
home in Duxbury. We have seen so much change
in the housing market in a very short span of time,
however, the concern remains the same. We are
faced with significant assessing challenges as hous-
ing values continue to decline from a peak market.
The biggest issues facing our board of assessors is
keeping up with the changing real estate market and
how that market is affecting the assessments of our
properties. Having met that challenge as the hous-
ing market was escalating a few years ago, we now
have a bigger task ahead. It is imperative that our
properties are being assessed fairly and accurately
but, most importantly, that they are being assessed
on their own individual merit. I will continue that
commitment with dedication and further education.

problems that the Duxbury Schools encounter.
The Duxbury Schools are in very good shape
because of the dedication and hard work of the fac-
ulty and staff coupled with the involvement of many
concerned parents and citizens, and I believe we can
continue to improve. I believe two key areas that
need attention are technology and prioritizing the
budget.
As the technology plan is in the process of being
updated, we should look for opportunities to draw on
the expertise of the IT professionals in the commu-
nity to develop a plan that is truly 21st century and
which will assist the faculty and students in improv-
ing the quality of their educational experience. In
addition, we should identify effective strategies for
using technology to improve the communications
between the schools and families.
Another issue that I would address is the budget
and how we establish priorities. As we witnessed this
year when we had to reduce our request by $900,000,
the demand for funds always seems to exceed the
supply. This is when prioritization becomes so im-
portant. I would like to see a process that truly in-
cludes all stakeholders in establishing priorities.
reers is the driving force behind this goal.
There are many major issues/concerns that I
would be addressing. The ongoing economic cri-
sis and its effect on the district budget will the top
priority. The school committee must preserve exist-
ing staff, academic programs, and student services.
At the recent town meeting, voters passed the two
building articles (36 & 37) placing them on the ballot
for the town election. Potential decisions await the
school committee based on the results of the building
needs study of the Middle and High Schools. Select-
ing which building to renovate, upgrade, and/or build
new and how to present this to the town for future
consideration will be cause for a long discussion and
debate.
Supporting current and future instructional and
curriculum initiatives, ensuring accountability for
MCAS and school improvement plans, improving
communication with the community, and recruiting
and retaining quality faculty and administrators are
also essential. The expansion of adult education pro-
grams and the introduction of a high school commu-
nity service program would foster life long learning
opportunities.
As a former teacher and administrative associa-
tion representative, I realize the need for a fair and
equitable contract for the members of the Duxbury
Teachers Association. The DTA and Duxbury School
Committee must work together taking into account
the ongoing budget crisis.

to Duxbury 16 years ago by its beauty
and character. My daughter, Emily, is
now a senior at Duxbury High School and has bene-
fited from a first-class education. After attending my
first Town Meeting in 1993, I was inspired to run for
office to make a difference. Af-
ter 12 years as your Selectman
and three years before that on
the Planning Board, I believe
that I have made and continue to
make a difference. In addition
to my elective offices, I have
been an active member of many
important Duxbury boards and
committees including the Local
andre martecchini Housing Partnership (Afford-
able Housing), Trustees of the
Historic O’Neil Farm and com-
mittees such as Alternative Energy, Public Safety
Buildings, School Buildings, Comprehensive Plan/
Zoning Bylaw Implementation (CPZBIC), Econom-
ic Advisory, and Cell Towers. I also represent Dux-
bury on numerous regional committees including the
South Shore Coalition, MA Municipal Association
Public Works Committee and Plymouth County Se-
lectman’s Association. Professionally I am a civil en-
gineering consultant with 29 years of experience. I
currently work with SEA Consultants in Cambridge,
MA, where I specialize in the design and construction
of transportation and building infrastructure projects.
I graduated from Cornell University with BS (1978)

Chief of the Financial Litigation Unit for the U.S.
Attorney’s Office.  I have held this position for the
past six years.  I worked in the Massachusetts De-

in Public Sector Labor Law. I worked for Governors’

from the inside.  I have been an attorney for fourteen
years.  My background has given me a unique per-
spective on financial matters and fiscal responsibility.
Why are you running for Board of Selectmen? It
is time for a change in Duxbury town government. 
We need a fresh perspective.  When politicians are
in power too long, they lose touch with the needs of
their constituents.  They become so afraid to take a
position and alienate a potential voter that they be-
come stagnant and ineffective and nothing of conse-
quence gets done. The current Selectman has been in
office for twelve years. Twelve years in one elected
position is enough. We need a change.

I have accomplished in the past, I look forward to
what I still want to accomplish in the future. Some
of the major initiatives that I will work on include:
• Consolidate administrative and maintenance
services between town departments and the schools
• Work with other towns to regionalize services
to reduce costs in areas of purchasing and sharing of
personnel and equipment
• Perform third-party reviews of all town depart-
ments to review how services are delivered and to
explore ways to improve efficiency
• Improve energy efficiency and promote Alter-
native Energy
• Open Transfer Station one night a week
• Increase diversity of housing options, including
successfully completing the Island Creek expansion
project
I pledge to work tirelessly with the citizens of

to being on the losing side and,
in fact, have been in the minor-

any malice.
What did bother me was
the selfishness of this mass
departure. I felt it was an ex-
tremely rude gesture to others
who had patiently listened to
the Pool Committee presenta-
tion, but were not to be given
the same courtesy. Issues yet
to come that evening included
proposed zoning changes that
could benefit local business,
business that provides services
to all residents.
Ironically, if not tragically,
one of the final issues of the
night, which most pool folk
missed, was a zoning plan to
pave the way for possible wind
turbines in Duxbury; a “green”
can adjust accordingly. The na-
tional institutes of health state
that many children, adolescents
and adults regularly fail to get
sufficient sleep and function ef-
fectively as a result of imposed
or self-imposed lifestyles and
work schedules. More than 70
types of sleep disorders chroni-
cally affect people of all ages.
An estimated 70 million
people in the U.S. suffer from
sleep problems. It affects ones
ability to maintain health and
healthy function. Just as re-
search is becoming more prev-

chief and his department have

maintain additional, and very
necessary, equipment to ensure
its longevity - this equipment is
critical but not cheap.

was presented by the Alternate

who, just like the pool com-

However, did they get the same

additional burden.
In the event of a radiologi-
cal disaster at Pilgrim, the fire
station is the emergency opera-
tions center where 34 represen-
tatives from town departments
must work to coordinate re-
sponse – like sardines packed

too small to accommodate the
people and the latest technol-

The wind is only
a light breeze
T
he city of Medford just cut the ribbon for a new
100 KW wind turbine supplying 10 percent of the
McGlynn Middle schools electrical need of $25,000
per year. The town of Hull already has two large windmills
supplying significant electrical energy and revenue.
Duxbury’s annual Town Meeting brought some light to
where Duxbury stands on wind turbine development on town
owned land. There is not much “wind blowing in Duxbury
Bay” and here is why:
The Massachusetts Technology Collaborative public
Web site lists 56 windmill projects under development. The
collaborative performs site surveys for municipalities as a grant
and use professional wind energy experts. Neighboring towns
like Scituate, Cohasset, Hanover, Kingston and Plymouth have
already been through this process and received a site evaluation
report. The next step is to establish a 130-160 foot Wind
Monitoring Meteorological Tower on a site, which will be
subject to issuance
of a temporary
building permit.
The monitoring
takes at least one
year.
At Town
Meeting last
week it was
revealed that
the Alternative
Energy Committee
has not yet
submitted an
application for a
MTC site survey. I
urge the committee to submit an application as soon as possible
and get in the long wind project queue, which will review
applications on a first come first served basis.
A wind turbine cannot be installed without an amendment
to the by-law. To assist in writing by-laws, Massachusetts
Executive Office of Environmental Affairs is providing a
model amendment by-law for use by municipalities.
At the Town Meeting last Tuesday the chairman of
Alternative Energy Committee presented a wind facility
regulations by-law as article 46. He also presented six
amendments. The selectmen and a member of the planning
board spoke against the article, which was postponed with
a majority vote. This was actually very fortunate as the
amendment had some restrictive requirements related to the use
of zoning districts (happens to be areas with most wind energy)
and maximum wind turbine height of 250 ft. The model
by-law recommends a 400 ft height. Danish Wind Industry
Association states that the most cost effective working horse
wind turbine is a 1,000 KW machine, which requires a total
height (tower and tip of blade) of almost 400 ft. A 250 foot
by-law limitation would have reduced a wind turbine to a much
smaller relatively higher cost KW machine. Introducing a by-
law limitation before a site test has been performed is more or
less meaningless.
The Massachusetts Office of Environmental Affairs has
included a comment in the model by-law: “The experience of
wind development in Massachusetts indicates that municipal
by-laws are one of the most significant barriers to wind
projects.” I hope Duxbury does not belong to this category.
Unfortunately in the town meeting my impression was that
the by-law article was uncoordinated between town officials
and the Alternative Energy Committee. I will suggest that
selectmen, town manager, various boards and the committee
be fully synchronized in promoting wind power energy in
Duxbury. “The wind” for a wind project should be “blowing
more than a light breeze.” Duxbury has the same or more wind
resources than other South Shore ocean front towns mentioned
earlier and even more wind power than the back-bay town of
Kingston.
Duxbury should be in the forefront of getting wind energy
to the town. Raising revenue from wind energy has already
been proven to benefit other towns. Duxbury should not
implement restrictive wind by-laws, before it is even known
where the most potential wind site is in town. The good news is
that a MET wind testing will take more than a year with plenty
of time to prepare an amended wind by-law accordingly.

Process should be sacred — Please support new public safety projects ——

L I
ast weeks Town
Meeting has left me
uneasy and not be-
cause we spent a boatload of
money or because the parking
bylaw was postponed but be-
cause I fear we are losing re-
spect for the process.
Typically upon the close of
Town Meeting I share a mix-
ture of good and bad feelings
as some articles went the way
I wanted and some didn’t, but
for me, always the best part of
town meeting is the town meet-
ing process itself. A process that
includes and encourages voter
debate and participation. Resi-
dents offer ideas, comments
and amendments that help each
and every one of us make as
informed and intelligent a deci-
sion as possible. This is democ-
racy.
While I appreciate a desire
to navigate through Town Meet-
ing as expeditiously as possible
I request we NOT do so in a
manner that erodes the very
integrity of the process itself.
Articles should be moved at
Town Meeting as published in
the Warrant and as advertised.
This seems only fair to the vot-
ers as well as the boards and
committees making recommen-
dations based on the published
articles not amended versions. I
sincerely believe that most vot-
ers Monday night simply didn’t
see Mr. Doyle at the micro-
phone waiting patiently to offer
input regarding the fire station
Police station location wrong
article. The voters were not giv-
en an opportunity to learn that
Mr. Doyle had attended most
if not all the meetings on the
proposed fire station renovation
and had valuable information to
share with us. I don’t know that
Mr. Doyle’s comments or in-
formation would have changed
the outcome, but what is clear
is that, after only one speaker, a
motion to call the question and
end debate was called out from
the floor and contrary to the
governing rules of our Town
Meeting, this motion success-
fully ended debate. I strongly
believe that Mr. Doyle deserved
to be heard, a respect deserving
of every voter whether new in
town or a long time resident
such as he.
The Town Meeting style of
government is increasingly un-
der fire and seems to be a major
fundamental difference between
the two candidates running for
moderator. A democratic pro-
cess pursuant to our General
Bylaws, when allowed to work,
serves us all well, but when the
system fails we are left ques-
tioning if there are better and
more fair ways to conduct our
business and make decisions.
It is my hope that moving for-
ward we respect the integrity of
the process that allows the open
town meeting type of govern-
ment to work best for the resi-
dents of Duxbury.

am asking the voters
of Duxbury to support
funding for design of a
new police station, and refur-
bishing of our Central Fire Sta-
tion. I have been a member of
the committee for a year, and
have seen the specific and im-
perative need for both projects.
The two stations built when
Duxbury’s population was
roughly 1/3 of today’s, are both
overcrowded, technologically
inadequate for today’s func-
tioning, and in such bad need
of repair that the simple fact is
daily operations are affected!
We are lucky given the dire
circumstances of both stations
that we have options, including
building a police station on a
new site, as the present one is
just too expensive to use, and
would cost too much for tem-
porary facilities. We are lucky

we all acknowl-
edge this truth. But
somehow we don’t seem to
want to acknowledge that ac-
cidents can happen to us. In my
neighborhood, there is a street
with a small hill and kids often
use it for skateboarding. A few
days ago, as I turned down that
street I saw a child of a neigh-
bor, friends of my family, come
down the hill on his skateboard
and hit a patch of sand. In an
instant he crashed down on to
the pavement, striking his head
hard against the ground. He
was not wearing a helmet. I

us financially. The sooner the
better! We are even luckier that
we can remodel and rehab our
Central Fire Station. The Sta-
tion needs eminent repairs, in-
cluding a leaking roof, to avoid
damaging the facility beyond
a state of repair. They must
have the same equipment they
always have, and new spaces,
equipment, and supplies for 80
percent of their calls that now
are EMS. The technological
advances in both departments
have changed how they do their
jobs.
Voters, me included, have
asked for long range capital

year. This is the beginning of
waiting for help to come, all
around me were people in their
homes, but none of them were
aware of what was happening
less than a hundred feet from
their front doors. I felt very
alone with a boy whom I’ve
known for the past ten years,
who was unresponsive and suf-
fering from a significant head
trauma.
As his seizure waned, I
carefully monitored his breath-
ing and pulse. It was so quiet
waiting there for help to arrive.
There were moments when I
was not sure if he was breath-

sessments of our schools. The
primary obligation of our local
government is the necessary
functioning of public safety.
I want a new pool; to honor
our veterans, to continue the
work of the CPA, and pre-
serve our past helping Tarkiln
become a community center
again. However, those are only
wants. Difficult choices have
been made and will continue to
be made. The town of Duxbury
needs public safety facilities
that allow the Police and Fire
to protect and serve us, and as
I stated at Town Meeting, when
any of us calls 911, isn’t that re-
ally what we all require?

I am recounting this story
because of how often I see kids
riding their bikes, skateboard-
ing, and gliding on scooters
without helmets. With my own
children, I am persistent and
unrelenting about them wear-
ing helmets. If the child in the
accident was wearing a helmet,
he would have been sore and I
would have simply driven him
home. Because he did not have
a helmet, his injury put him
in serious medical jeopardy.
My message to a child, a teen-
age friend, or a neighborhood
kid is that when an adult (or
someone) reminds you to put

A Machiavellian Town Meeting? ——————
All aboard the library bus!
O
n Monday evening
I had the pleasure
to attend our Town
Meeting, yet left with a rather
unsettling feeling. This feeling
has its roots in what is now a
widespread dilemma on the
national level: ineffective, in-
competent leadership coupled
with an impending economic
disaster.
My first red flag was when
the meeting started with a half
hearted disclaimer from the
town’s attorney, verifying that
yes indeed, a previous financial
decision was most certainly,
legal and binding. Anytime an
attorney suggests “trust me”
instills the exact same gut re-
action as when someone also
suggests to me, “Don’t panic!”

dissension among the rank and
file town employees, which has
then led (understandably) to a
call for even greater organized
representation. That in itself is
a harbinger of increased costs
to the town residents, both fi-
nancially, and in time spent
via collective bargaining. With
effective leadership and good
faith agreements, organized la-
bor cannot, and will not, emerge
or flourish. An organized union
is nothing more than a combi-
nation of a worker’s desperate
plea for help, coupled with a
stern admonishment of “please
cease and desist!”
The gist of my commentary
regarding certain financial “ir-
regularities” is actually quite
simple. I perceive a Janus-faced
approach to our current local
financial woes. On one hand,
I listened to how “budgets
will need to be re-examined”
(translation = future personnel
lay-offs and more cutbacks)
yet conversely, I have informa-

you that they care. I also hope
people carefully consider the
upcoming ballot questions on

ed, when you need them you
want them to be there promptly,

double digit percentage sal-
ary increases? Interesting, to
say the least! So, on one hand,
the citizens of Duxbury may
need to add to even greater
unemployment figures, yet…..
certain select town employees
will be receiving in excess of
24 percent salary increases?
Uhm……HELLO? The stan-
dard cost of living increase is
typically up to 3 percent, not 24
percent! My, how Machiavel-
lian management can be oh so
generous with our tax money.
This just reeks of our current,
national AIG financial piracy
conspiracy!
In conclusion, although
the town manager may indeed
have the authority for salary in-
creases this does not necessar-
ily justify these untimely, mer-
cenary decisions. Just because
you can, does not mean you
should. To be more succinct,
does indeed “might…..make
right?” Perhaps we should re-
view “The Prince?”

Selectman candidates clash on issues
continued from page one
“I’ve played a role in a
lot of the projects that we’ve
done,” he said. “I love being a
selectman.”
Donato, however, said that
many of the larger issues the
town is facing now –– such as
the lack of new public safety
facilities –– are a direct result
of Martecchini’s “failure to
act.”
“We have needed a new
police station since he became
a selectman,” Donato said.
“Why wasn’t it built 10 years
ago when the economy was
much stronger.”
Martecchini shot back,
saying it was impossible to pin
the town’s troubles on one per-
son. “To put it on any one se-
lectman is ludicrous,” he said.
One of the biggest bones
of contention between the
two candidates is the circum-
stances that led to the creation
of two new unions earlier this
year. Donato said that if town
leaders, including Martecchi-
ni, had sat down with employ-
ees, the unions might not have
been necessary.
“I think it’s a perfect ex-
ample of the selectmen’s fail-
ure to lead, failure to commu-
nicate with its employees,” he
said.
Donato said he spoke to
one employee who has worked
for the town for 30 years, who
only now is feeling the need to
join a union.
“He’s the kind of person
that’s given his life to his job,
now he feels threatened,” Do-
nato said. “That’s wrong. Our
employees should not feel that
way, and they should be pro-
Is historic district in Duxbury’s future?
continued from page one
Barnstable, Eastham, Harwich,
Yarmouth, Dennis, Brewster,
Orleans, and Provincetown.
The entire island of Nantucket
is a local historic district.
Duxbury does not have
a local historic district but it
does have a district listed on
the National Register of His-
toric Places. Called the Old
Shipbuilder’s Historic District,
it was created in 1986 and it
encompasses houses on both
sides of Washington Street and
its side streets and some build-
ings at the beginning of Pow-
der Point Avenue. An effort by
the Duxbury Historical Com-
mission to establish a local
historic district on High Street
in 1991 failed to receive a two-
thirds majority at Town Meet-
ing by 18 votes, said Murphy.
In a local historic district,
a committee called the historic
district commission reviews
any proposed changes to exte-
rior architectural features vis-
ible from a public way. This
commission is separate from
a town’s historical commis-
sion. If a homeowner wants to
demolish or add on to a prop-
tected from that.”
Martecchini pointed out
that once the employees made
a petition to the state’s labor
board to form an official union,
the town was legally prevented
from communicating.
“We said we were go-
ing to continue. Those people
decided on their own –– we
didn’t force them to pursue the
union contract route,” he said
to Donato. “You as an attorney
should know, once they have
established this bargaining
unit, we are no longer able to
communicate.”
He also said that some of
the employees’ issues were
“non-starters,” things like
third party arbitration which
the town was not willing to
compromise on.
“It takes the decision mak-
ing capability out of manage-
ment’s hands, which we said
would not be in the best inter-
est of the town,” Martecchini

erty in a local historic district,
then they would submit an ap-
plication to the historic district
commission. The commission
would hold a public hearing
and determine whether the
new addition was appropriate
under the guidelines listed in
the historic district bylaw.
In a local historic district,
there is no review of interior
features and a variety of exte-
rior features are often exempt,
such as air conditioners, storm
doors and windows, paint color
and temporary structures. The
decision on which features are
exempt from review depends
on how the local bylaw is writ-
ten.
Murphy urged selectmen
to take the first step in bring-
ing a historic district to town
and establish a local historic
district study committee. Un-
der state law, the study com-
mittee can have three to seven
members and must consist of
an architect, a realtor, and a
member of the local historical
society as well as regular citi-
zens. They are also encouraged
to have historical commission
members, historians, lawyers,

Selectman candidates Andre Martecchini and Christopher Donato

Wednesday. The debate will be replayed on Channel 13 Wednesday

final say on Saturday in the town election.
said.
The issue of a poten-
tial conflict of interest also
sparked some heated words.
Donato’s wife works as an as-
sistant to the police chief, and
he was asked if he would re-
cuse himself from voting on
police matters.
Donato said he had checked
with the Department of Justice
and had been told there was no
conflict of interest.
“I think that’s astound-
ing that you would not recuse
yourself,” Martecchini said,
pointing out that Selectman
Betsy Sullivan had recently
recused herself from a vote
on Foodie’s liquor license be-
cause her employer has a dis-
tant business relationship with
the grocer. “You don’t need an
opinion to know that.”
Donato bristled at the com-
ment, saying to Martecchini,
tion commission members,
and open space and affordable
housing advocates, to name a
few listed by the Massachu-
setts Historical Commission.
Selectmen are required to
contact these organizations to
ask them to propose possible
members.
Selectmen decided upon a
seven-member study commit-
tee.
Once a study committee
is appointed, members will
research possible areas for an
historic district. Selectmen
asked Murphy if he had been
to the Duxbury Historical
Commission with his idea and
had obtained their approval.
Murphy said he had not but
had been speaking to one of its
members.
Historical commission rep-
resentative Barbara Kiley said
the commission had not for-
mally heard about Murphy’s
proposal nor taken a vote on
it but had discussed having a
local historic district in Dux-
bury.
“We have talked about it
and that was going to be our
next step after preserving
Tarkiln was achieved,” said
“I’d listen to the department of
justice before I take your ad-
vice ... I’d appreciate you not
lecturing me on what my eth-
ics are.”
The two men seemed to
agree on almost nothing as the
debate went on. Donato point-
ed to several issues that failed
on Town Meeting floor, such
as a move to change a zoning
regulation about business lot
coverage and a proposed wind
turbine bylaw, as examples of
Martecchini’s failure to lead.
He said that Martecchini
and the selectmen should have
contacted the different parties
before hand to see if a compro-
mise could be reached, as well
as putting information about
the complex bylaws online.
“It seemed there was room
to negotiate,” Donato said.
“That’s the difference in our
styles. I’m going to reach out,
Kiley.
At the selectmen’s request,
Kiley agreed to set up a meet-
ing with Murphy and the com-
mission.
“I am very much in favor
of this,” Kiley said, adding
that a few years ago commis-
sion members tried to make
public some information on a
local historic district but did
not receive support from se-
lectmen.
Kiley said that all the work
done by the Historical Com-
mission in 1991 for the High
Street historical district was
still available.
Murphy said he was not
specifically proposing that
High Street be considered for
an historic district, although
he said that over the weekend,
he was able to get half of his
neighbors to sign a petition
in favor of it. He added that
his neighbor who was against
the previous district said she
would “keep an open mind”
if High Street was again pro-
posed.
Murphy said he wanted
the process to begin so a plan
could be brought to Town
Meeting next year.
Wednesday, March 25, 2009
Andre has failed to do that.”
Martecchini retorted that
Donato did not understand the
process.
“Your comments are show-
ing a complete ignorance of
showing how zoning is done,”
he said. “It’s such a lack of un-
derstanding of how things are
done ... it’s scary.”
The only issue where the
candidates seemed to agree
was over a decision made by
the selectmen last year to grant
the police chief the power to
decide whether a police officer
or civilian flagger was neces-
sary at a road side work site.
The move came shortly after
the state legislature passed a
law allowing the use of civil-
ian flaggers. Before that, Mas-
sachusetts had been the only
state out of 50 that did not al-
low flaggers.
Martecchini defended the
board’s decision to make the
change without inviting public
discussion, saying the finan-
cial impact on the town was
minimal.
“In hindsight it could have
had more discussion,” he said,
“But I’m not sure the outcome
would have been much differ-
ent.”
Donato said he believed
the selectmen did the right
thing.
“On an issue like that, I
think you can use your intel-
lect and understanding of the
impact on the town and move
forward,” he said.
voters’ guide
Read the candidates for
Board of Selectmen in their
own words on page 23.
Selectman Andre Martec-
chini responded: “It’s going to
be controversial. You may be
ambitious to push it for town
meeting.”
The local historic district
study committee must con-
duct property owner opinion
surveys, prepare educational
material, and hold informa-
tional meetings. It must also
prepare the preliminary study
report that includes its meth-
odology, the significance of
the proposed district, how it
determined the boundaries of
the district, a map showing
the district, a property street
address index, and the bylaw
outlining guidelines for the
district. The final step is Town
Meeting approval.
Selectmen Chairman Jon
Witten felt that Town Plan-
ner Tom Broadrick could help
the study committee with its
efforts. Selectman Betsy Sul-
livan said the board should
make this request of the plan-
ning board before volunteer-
ing Broadrick.
Selectmen agreed to dis-
cuss this issue again at its May
11 meeting when it could ap-
point the study committee.

be surprised how many high
school lacrosse teams in Mas-
sachusetts just don’t like the
Dragons.
Winners of five straight
Division I State champion-
ships and six of the last seven,
Duxbury lacrosse has become
synonymous with the best the
state has to offer.
While winning has brought
recognition to the town and
to Head Coach Chris Sweet
and his Assistant Coach Tony
Fisher, it also brings the bur-
den of pressure every time the
team takes the field.

As the Dragons enter the
2009 season, they are faced
once more with the prospect
of seeing their 90-game win-
ning streak against Massa-
chusetts’ public and parochial
high schools being challenged.
It’s a burden that several teams
before them have faced, and
all have escaped the supposed
embarrassment that would
come with it.

every year Sweet is faced with
the same scrutiny by fans, foes,
and media alike, that wonder if
the end of the streak is near.
While the Dragons barely

season could be tests just as
severe.
“I feel the pressure going
into every year because we
have won so many games,”
said Sweet. “That’s what the
goal is. It’s the goal for my-
self, as well as the seniors.
They don’t want to be the
ones who break the streak.
They would be disappointed,
along with every member of
the team. I’d be disappointed
too, but we put a lot of expec-
tations on ourselves and I see
our kids working a lot harder

A wandering minstrel hecontinued from page one COLLEGE CORNER

“Capriccio Italian” both drip with Russian wander lust. A ca-
priccio (according to Wikipedia) is a free-form, lively piece of By MIKE HALLORAN, Sports Editor
music meant to show off, and in these two, capture the musical sports@duxburyclipper.com

themes of a place. Both composers were masters of orchestra-
tion.
Listening to Capriccio Italian as a child helped me choose
percussion as my musical specialty. Wait until you hear the
cymbal crashes! Some of the best crashes in symphonic music.
And a tambourine! At the piece’s finale, we’ll all get a chance
to see if Steven Karidoyanes would have been able to control a
stampeding 20-mule team. It’s one of those musical moments
that breathes fire into musicians as much as it does into audi-
ences. Only a conductor with a velvet glove and an iron fist
can keep such exuberance under control. I have every faith in
Steven.
Plymouth’s Matthew Sorensen’s composition “String
Theory and the Universe,” will be premiered at this concert.
You can hear a snippet at the composer’s Web site, www.matt-
sorensen.com. Where’s the interconnection? He’s a graduate
of the nearby Berklee College of Music, and a drummer! Like
me! There’s a brief video with his “old drums,” and you’ll
soon see that, unlike me, he’s a drummer indeed.
You can make your own study of Classical III’s intercon-
nections by upgrading your “vacation” to First Class. Join in
the glitter and the fun at the evening’s “Soirée” from 6 to 7:30
p.m. at the Mayflower Society Museum, 4 Winslow Street,
Plymouth. Better get directions. Winslow Street is a twist
and a turn away from Plymouth’s main drag, closer to the
water. Tickets for the Soirée are $20, or $25 at the door. Yes,
there will be snacking and sipping of wine, and all the intercon-
necting you can manage. You can also get a package ticket for
$50, $55 at the door.
Don’t forget about Steven’s pre-concert chat at 7 p.m.
You’ll miss some of the Soirée, but the Steven’s talk is free,
and never fails to enrich the listening that follows. One way
or another, Classical III will get you out of the local winter
doldrums and get you ready for spring.
Correction from last week: I inadvertently left out one
of the individual award winners from the last Drama Festival
round. Cassie Shayne won an acting award for her portrayal
of The Mother in The Sacrificial King. Cassie weaves unity
into the work, opens the story to all generations, and deeply
deserves the judges’ recognition.

While some important
pieces from last year’s team
make the Dragons a formi-
dable foe once again, Sweet
is aware that incorporating
new blood into the program
is a must, not only to keep the
program at the top of the class
for the next few years, but also
to take advantage of a bumper
crop of freshmen that the Dux-
bury coach feels can make a
significant contribution to the
team this year.
“I look at the freshmen from
a program standpoint. We had
36 freshmen try out. That’s aw-
fully big. This year we do have
some freshmen that can con-
tribute to the varsity,” said the
Dragon coach. “We need three

“There is no flash to this

sticks to it.”

Sweet is a good attack as well
and has surprised the coach-
ing staff with how well he has
played.
“I keep trying to find rea-
sons why I should cut him,
but he keeps making plays out
there,” joked Sweet.
Riley Naton, James Burke
and Jay McDermott have also
raised eyebrows in their first
year at trying to crack the var-
sity.

that means the Dragons are
blessed with a trio of goalten-

competition will come from
the Buonagurio household in
the form of freshman brother
Henry, who makes it a three-
way race for the starting job.
“Last year I thought goal-
tending was the weak spot on

our team. However, Dan and
Mickey have worked their
tails off in the off-season. Af-
ter the first week and a half I’d
have to say that goaltending is
going to be one of our strong
suits,” said Sweet. “They have
improved their games 100
percent. Throw Henry into the
mix and it is definitely a three-
way battle.”
While goaltending appears
to have improved, it might
take a significant effort to even
test the trio.

Walking in the footsteps of Jonathan Taylor

Y
ou can tell that
spring is in the air,
not just by the ris-
ing temperatures, but also by
the athletes out on the pool
fields wielding lacrosse sticks.
As the season draws closer,
it’s easy to see more and more
boys and girls warming up
their rusty skills after a long
and cold winter.  with his best friend, Steve
Soon the first varsity boys’
game will be played, and be-
fore the players take to the field,
they will come together and a
loud “48-11” will be heard.
Those two apparently simple
numbers have a deep meaning.
Especially the #11 that stands
for the jersey number Jona-
than Taylor wore during his la-
crosse career at Duxbury High
School and at Gettysburg Col-
lege.  to accept. However, they
While Jon’s life was tragi-
cally cut short by an accident
soon after graduating, his lega-
cy lives on in the generations of
lacrosse players who have fol-
lowed in his footsteps. Along
Sepeta, Taylor started playing
lacrosse after the eighth grade
with Adam Ochs, Justin Walk-
er, Jeremy Smith, Tayven
Hike, and others.
Burke Walker, Justin’s
father, had a passion for the
game that inspired these stu-
dents, and shortly thereaf-
ter lacrosse became a DHS
sport.  The group played as a
JV squad for two years, and
by the time they graduated in
1995 they had transformed la-
crosse into a varsity sport for
their two remaining years.
Taylor’s death was hard
for his teammates and friends
have rallied to honor his life
in many ways. After taking a
year off to recover from losing
Taylor, Sepeta returned to San
Diego and spread his love for
lacrosse throughout Southern
California by starting South
Swell Sports.  11’ at the top in green, black,
Off-season playing oppor-
tunities and quality lacrosse
stores were few, and South
Swell Sports filled that gap
with leagues and camps in
seven locations ­including Tex-
as.  In their second year Sep-
eta and his partner launched
a lifestyle apparel label called
Adrenaline, and soon one of
this company’s products will
be seen all over Duxbury. 
Adrenaline has been known
for its quality sportswear and
is offering its only custom-
made product specifically
for Duxbury. The company
will be offering unique sports
socks with the numbers ‘48-
and white. For Sepeta, it is a
way to remind the next team to
remember that they should al-
ways be kind and respect oth-
ers because life is short.

Boosters antique show
A

school provides pays for the basics for our student-athletes:
transportation, coaches, officials, and fundamental equip-
ment. Boosters clubs through their various fund raising
activities are able to give the student-athletes of Duxbury
extra needed items.
The main boosters club that ‘umbrellas’ all sports
purchases many big line items that are outside of the fiscal
scope of the athletic department. The booster group is
responsible for the purchase of every banner hanging in the
high school gym. In the past few years they have pur-
chased soccer goals, a trainer’s table, cheerleader competi-
tion mats, a football blocking trainer, helped the ski team
with funds to run its program, helped in the refurbishment
of Chandler Field (baseball) and made a substantial dona-
tion towards the PRIDE artificial turf project.
The weekend of March 28 and 29 marks the biggest
fundraiser for the athletic department. The antique show
sponsored by the athletic boosters club held in the high
school gym will raise money so that purchases such as
these can continue in the upcoming years. With the fiscal
crisis that is hitting many of our Commonwealth’s schools,
the fund raising of the boosters club will be taking on
a higher importance. Please take time out of your busy
weekend schedules to stop and poke around the show. The
generous donations to the athletic department go a long
way in helping our town’s youth success, not only in the
athletic arena, but also in the areas that these successes aid
outside of athletics.
