John and Priscilla Al-den have always been a part of Duxbury’s history. This weekend, they became part of America’s.

Saturday marked a historic day in the annals of the Alden family. The homestead of their progenitors, Pilgrims John and Priscilla Alden, was recognized as a National Historic Land-mark, joining an elite company of sites.

For the small group of people who worked on obtain-ing the designation, John and Priscilla’s descendants known as the Alden “Kindred,” the application process was a labor of love, a project among “cous-ins,” as the Kindred are known to refer to each other.

Tom McCarthy, Alden de-scendant and history profes-sor at the US Naval Academy, wrote the application that had

Duxbury resident Arthur Bernard was named chief of staff to Governor De-val Patrick last month. The Clipper

sat down with Bernard for a question and answer session in his State House office.

So what does a chief of staff really do? My responsibility as chief of staff is to make sure that what the governor is trying to achieve by way of policy –– by way of implementing policies –– it’s my job to make sure that’s done. That means interacting with cabinet secretaries and also making

Size, apparently, does mat-ter –– at least in the minds of the Zoning Board of Appeals.

After almost a year since hearings began, the board is closer to drafting a special permit for the expansion of the Island Creek development off Tremont Street, a 40B project. However, the board is still wary about the size of the apartment buildings included in the expansion. At four sto-ries, the buildings would be the tallest in Duxbury and two stories higher than any exist-ing structure on the property.

The Zoning Board had asked the applicant to rede-sign the apartment buildings to three stories. At a hearing Monday night, representatives for Island Creek told the board the redesign would cause the development to lose 34 units, rendering the project econom-ically unfeasible.

Ed Marchant, a 40B ad-visor working with the prop-erty’s owner, said there would be a 25 percent decrease in profit.

Skeiber: Sweet will return as boys lacrosse coach

Farm Day helpers needed

Volunteers are needed to help with Farm Day at the His-toric O’Neil Farm in Duxbury on Saturday, Oct. 3, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

If you are interested in helping out, contact Lorrie Hall at [email protected] or call 781-934-7321. For more information, visit www.historiconeilfarm.org.


Chris Sweet will return as head coach of the Duxbury boys’ lacrosse team.

Superintendent of Schools Susan Skeiber said late Tues-day afternoon that she and Sweet had a “productive” hour and 20-minute meeting to dis-cuss the status of his contract.

“I think we’ve come to a good resolution, with him be-ing coach,” Skeiber said.

At a School Committee meeting last month, Super-intendent Susan Skeiber in-formed the board in a closed door session that Sweet’s con-

tract, which is year-to-year, would not being renewed.

The move provoked out-rage from parents and current and former players, who signed an online petition and took out newspaper ads in an effort to get the coach reinstated.

Skeiber said it was not the pressure from parents and players that resulted in the re-newing of the contract.

“It was really the discus-sion we had,” she said. “We were able to get to the bottom of some issues.”

Sweet has been the coach ay DHS for 14 years, leading the team to seven of the last state titles.

Chris Sweet will remain head coach of the boys’ lacrosse team, Superintendent Skeiber said.

Selectmen have thrown their support behind an effort to get a traffic signal installed near the intersection of Route 3 and Route 3A.

Town Planner Thomas Broadrick met with the board Monday night to update se-lectmen on a plan by the state to revamp the intersection’s off and on ramps, widely considered to be a traffic haz-ard. The project has been on MassHighway’s radar for a number of years, but the pro-posed expansion of the Island Creek housing development just down the road may push the project up the state’s list of priorities, according to Broad-rick and representatives from Island Creek’s developer.

The process is long and filled with paper work. Dux-bury (and neighboring Kings-ton) would eventually want the intersection to appear on the state’s TIP, or Transportation Improvement Project, list.

Before that, Broadrick said, the Board of Selectmen needs to sign off on a propo-nents project letter informa-tion form, which will then be brought to the attention of state transportation agencies.

“You can always yank things off the list but it takes a lot to put them on,” he said.

Broadrick said the goal would be to get the project in line for a round of transporta-tion funding in 2013-15.

“It would make sense to at least get this on the list,” he said. He said that in his time as a planner he has seen projects take up to 10 years to move from being placed on the TIP list to groundbreaking.

Jeff Dirk, a traffic engi-neers with the Island Creek team, told selectmen the in-stallation of traffic signals is separate from his project, say-ing that the additional traffic from the development won’t significantly add to the already messy interchange.

“The crash rate at those in-tersections is already twice the

state average,” he said.At prior Zoning Board of

Appeals hearings Dirk and others have suggested the Is-land Creek project may help speed up the process of getting the state to install signals.

“It really does give you juice,” said Island Creek con-sultant Ed Marchant.

Board of Selectmen Chair-woman Betsy Sullivan said signals at at the Exit 10 off ramps are “long overdue.”

“We’ve had people die there,” she said. “A month doesn’t go by that we don’t have an accident there.”

In other business:• The board tabled discus-

sion of a recent opinion, issued by Town Counsel Robert Troy, stating that the board’s vote not to ratify Town Manager Richard MacDonald’s deci-sion not to renew the contract of Police Chief Mark DeLuca had no legal standing. Select-men Christopher Donato and Sullivan decided to wait until the Aug. 17 meeting so that Jon Witten, who was not in at-tendance Monday night, could participate in the discussion.

• MacDonald informed the board that he has appointed a crematory building commit-tee, consisting of cemetery trustees, a citizen at large, the cemetery commissioner, the DPW director and the building inspector, to study how to best use $80,000 appropriated at Town Meeting for a new cre-matory facility.

• The board learned that a grant would be used to study the possibility of building a wind turbine on several town-owned sites, including the high school, the Alden and Chandler schools, the middle school, town hall, transfer station, DPW facility and the North Hill Golf Course.

• The board learned, from MacDonald, that the US Post-al Service is facing a financial crisis and is studying the pos-sibility of closing the Snug Harbor post office. MacDon-ald stressed that the facility had not been officially rec-

comended for closing, mere-ly that the Postal Service is studying 3,200 offices across the country.

“I know the postal ser-vice is having some severe financial problems,” he said. “I will be following this up, I will be keeping everybody in-formed.”

Engineers from both Island Creek North and the town say the off ramps at Exit 10 are traffic nightmares, and that Duxbury would benefit from a traffic signal on Tremont Street. An engineer for the developer said the project might get Duxbury placed on a project list faster.


The TLC Backpack Com-mittee of the Duxbury Inter-faith Council is making plans for the preparation and dis-tribution of backpacks and school supplies to our less for-

tunate neighbors in Duxbury. Our goal is to provide new backpacks and school sup-plies to the students of fami-lies facing financial hardships in grades K-12. A donation will help our future generation be prepared for school. The cost of a backpack with school supplies varies by grade but on average is $100. We are hop-ing to raise $5,000 in order to meet our needs. One hundred percent of all donations go back into the community. The Interfaith Council is grateful for your continued support, as are the 50 recipient students and their families.

TLC – Teach our children, Learn to give, Care about oth-ers – started with a seemingly simple, generous act by one boy. To celebrate his tenth birthday, this giving child ac-cepted school supplies in lieu of gifts. All the school supplies were donated to a few families in need through the Duxbury Interfaith Council’s Outreach Services. The success of this heartfelt deed encouraged a group of four children to take it a step further. That’s when they came up with the TLC backpack project.

Donations still needed of new school supplies: 1” bind-ers, three ring zip binders (2” and 3”), eight subject tabbed

dividers for binders, calcula-tors (basic and TI-83), pencils (colored), combination locks, dry erase markers, binder pocket dividers, markers (fine line and thick non-toxic), glue sticks, highlighters, hole rein-forcements, index cards, rect-angle erasers, pencil boxes, pencil pouches for binders, pencil topper erasers, erasable pens, pocket folders, scissors, loose leaf paper, one-gallon Ziploc style bags. For infor-mation on how to donate a Texas Instruments TI-83 cal-culator, call 781-934-8388.

Donations still needed of new backpacks: High quality, neutral color backpacks as we anticipate the backpacks to last three years.

Donations of money: Please make check payable to the Duxbury Interfaith Coun-cil with TLC Backpack in the memo and mail it to PO Box 1161, Duxbury, MA 02331. Any amount helps and is greatly appreciated.

Drop off information: Aug. 17-19 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at First Parish Church.

Become a nest watcher

By fahy ByGate, Clipper Columnist

It’s August and my backyard has become a nursery for cardinals, blue jays, goldfinches and titmice. Sometimes the begging noises are deafening. Since

most songbirds are the size of adults when they leave the nests it is difficult at first glance to tell the young ones from the parents but, if you watch for a minute, you can pick up on that universal baby behavior. There is much fluttering and

shivering of wings going on. All the babies are trying to convince the parents to keep feeding them when it is clear to everyone that the young are quite capable of feeding

themselves. I watched a juvenile cardinal follow its parent around the feeder, crying piteously. Just when I thought it would collapse of hunger it gave up and flew to the table feeder to feed itself. I know just how that parent felt.

Nesting for most species is over or nearly over. Some of the late ones, like the goldfinches are still at it but for the most part the parent birds are kicking back with a cold one, glad that this year’s crop is on its own. Nesting takes a lot out of a bird. The entire reproduction thing is exhausting and building and feathering a nest is a good part of it. Each species does it differently, too.

Robins are pretty adaptable about where they build. They will make nests in deep woods or gardens or parks, on buildings, on the ground, in bushes. Both male and female construct the nests. They aren’t fussy about housekeeping. Their nests are often messy with grass sticking out at all angles. They usually lay three gloriously blue eggs. Only the female incubates which takes about two weeks. As soon as the eggs hatch the male takes care of the fledglings while the female lays another clutch.

On the other hand, the Spotted Sandpiper makes a scrape in the sand for a nest and lays about four speckled eggs that resemble the sand so well that it is easy to step on one. Then the male incubates the eggs and tends to the few needs of his precocial chicks while the female takes off! Luckily for the males, precocial birds emerge from the egg nearly ready to take on the world. Unlike robins (and people) they are able to run and feed by themselves within two days.

If you have been watching birds in your yard raising young, you know it can be a hobby all its own. Cornell Lab of Ornithology at Cornell University has established a program of volunteers called NestWatch to help determine the causes of species decline among birds. As their Web site explains, “NestWatch teaches people about bird breeding biology and engages them in collecting and submitting nest records. Such records include information about nest site location, habitat, species, and number of eggs, young, and fledglings. Citizen scientists submit their nest records to our online database where their observations are compiled with those of other participants in a continentwide effort to better understand and manage the impacts of environmental change on bird populations.”

NestWatch has a short list of “focal species” that they are especially interested in and most of them are common back yard birds like Blue Jay, Goldfinches, Catbirds, Mockingbirds, etc. However, you are not restricted to just those birds. Pick your favorite bird or the one closest to home. You can probably find a nesting bird in or near your yard and contribute to this important effort. You needn’t be an expert birder or even a birder at all to spot a nest, monitor the activity over a month-long period and report on its success or failure. If you would like to be a “citizen scientist” go online at http://www.nestwatch.org/ and sign up to monitor next summer’s nests!

The Duxbury Historic District Study Committee met with resistance again from High Street residents last week as they gathered in an effort to organize the research of a lo-cal historic district.

The committee’s first step is to not only educate the town on what a historic district is, but to work with town resi-dents and get their opinion on having a local historic district.

Two residents of High Street attended the meeting and voiced their concerns. The residents said that the area was already discussed as a poten-tial district in 1991, however the vote did not pass. They said that the residents still did not want a historic district on High Street.

“You should know what the people on the street feel,” Stuart Davis, a resident of High Street said.

Members of the commit-tee stressed that this is just a study group to explore the possibility of a historic district in town. The residents were able to voice their concerns for the area, however since the

committee is a working group, members said they can only allow for a certain amount of time for public comment.

“The operative word is ‘study,’” committee member Georgia Taft Pye said. The group has not even determined if there will be a historic dis-trict in town, or where a dis-trict would be, she said. The committee is working now to determine if the town needs a historic district. They are planning several small events throughout the fall to get the public’s opinion on a local his-toric district.

If a district is formed, the houses in the district will have to adhere to a set of special bylaws. The committee will disperse and a new historical district commission will be es-tablished to monitor any reno-vations that occur within the district. However, the commit-tee is still at least a year away from determining if there is a need for a district in town, and where the district will be. There have been no decisions made as of now.

The group said that they wanted to preserve and pro-tect the historical features of

the town without being too restrictive.

“We wanted to strike a balance,” Pye said.

One of the main goals for the committee is to educate the town and get resident’s in-put on where to have a historic district. In order to do this, the committee is planning on hav-ing open houses in different ar-eas of town to meet members of historic neighborhoods.

The committee decided on several historic areas around town to focus on, including Washington Street, Surplus Street, Cove Street, St. George Street, High Street and the Tinkertown area. The com-mittee is planning on hosting small, informal coffee sessions in these areas to talk with the residents about the need for a historic district in town.

The committee is also hosting a meeting on Aug. 26 with a representative from the Massachusetts Historical Commission. Members of the town are encouraged to attend this meeting to learn more about historic districts.

Duxbury residents are in-vited to show their “PRIDE” next week at a cookout to help raise money for the comple-tion of the turf field at the high school.

The group has been work-ing for the past four years to complete the project, Duxbury PRIDE member Ann Mullins said. The last push for $25,000 is to pay for the lighting reno-vations in time for fall sports.

The lights were a part of the first section of the project, which took place earlier this summer. The wiring for the lights run under the turf field, and needed to be placed before the turf was laid down. There were two new poles installed and energy efficient light bulbs were put in to replace the old ones.

Although the lights have already been replaced, the group needs to raise the last bit of money to pay for the reno-vations.

The group is hosting “Tail-gate for Turf Part 2: Light Up the Night” on Aug. 15 to raise money to pay for the renovat-ed lights.

“It’s a very casual event, it’s a cookout,” Duxbury PRIDE member Joanne Savard said. There will be a DJ and music from a band featuring Duxbury High School alumni,

as well as a 50-50 raffle and a silent action.

Duxbury PRIDE has al-ready raised $900,000 to pay for the turf field and the instal-lation. The last two sections of the project, to be completed early August, are to refurbish the track and install fencing around the field.

“This is the culmination of almost three years of fundrais-ing,” Mullins said. Duxbury PRIDE was established by a group of parents and coaches who saw the need for a turf field in town. The old varsity field behind the high school had major drainage problems that often resulted in an un-safe and unplayable field. The

group has been working for the past several years to gain approval for the field and to raise funds for the turf, lights, track and installation.

The project is on time to be completed in time for fall sports. The first home foot-ball game is Sept. 11. Dux-bury PRIDE plans on having an opening ceremony at some point during the fall, but has not determined when yet, Mul-lins said.

Tickets to the Light Up the Night event are $50 and are being sold at SportWorks in Duxbury and Pro Sports in Kingston.

Alex O’Brien Feldman, aka Alex the Jester, will perform at the Duxbury Performing Arts Center on Wednesday, Aug. 12 at 7 p.m. as the last sum-mer reading program event in this year’s Starship Adventure at the Duxbury Free Library.

His off-beat performance will include Renaissance water spouting, the nose flute serenade, jingle bell juggling, twisted sticks of the forest, balancing stunts high above the audience, and other unusual routines inspired by the rich tradition of the me-dieval fool.

This performance is for children entering grade 1 and older with an adult. No young-er children can be accommo-dated. Advance registration is required and may be done online at www.duxburyfreeli-brary.org, click calendar of events, by phone 781-934-2721 x115, or in person at the children’s reference desk.

ant said. “I don’t think any-thing we’ve proposed is outra-geous. We need those units to make this project economic.”

Chairman of the Zoning Board of Appeals Dennis Mur-phy suggested that the board have a peer review of the eco-nomic viability of the project.

“I don’t think we can do our job properly without this exercise,” he said.

Both the Zoning Board and Marchant agreed to the peer review. Marchant told the board that his team was willing to fund a peer review as long as he works with the board.

“I would not be a part of a project, and propose a 40B, not in a strategic location,” Marchant said.

The Zoning Board mem-

bers took several consensus votes during the hearing but did not make any formal vote on the project as a whole. Some members said that if there was ever an ideal place for this project it would be in the location of Island Creek.

“I don’t have any negative aspects relevant to the overall approach being taken,” Zon-ing Board member Gene Orosz said.

Vice Chairman of the Zon-ing Board Judith Barrett said that she does not oppose four story buildings, but she did have to ask herself, “What is the view going to be like when the project is done.”

In addition to the concerns over the size of the buildings, the board also had concerns about whether or not to use

Cape Cod berms or vertical granite curbs along the main boulevard, where to locate a third playground or “tot lot,” and whether or not a traffic signal could help the traffic flow.

The board showed in a consensus vote that they would prefer Cape Cod berms over vertical granite curbs. They also felt the location of the Tot Lot should be visible from the residential buildings.

At the end of the hearing, the board said they believed all their concerns could be ad-dressed in the conditions of the special permit for the 40B project. The hearing was con-tinued until Sept. 24.

sure he has all the information that he needs to make deci-sions…

Does he call you up at night at home? Yes, we’ll talk at night sometimes. The thing about the governor’s office which is very different and unique is that there is always something going on. Whether it is the winter time before a snowstorm, whether they are closing state offices for the next day, there is always some-thing going on.

What kind of boss is the governor? I love working for the governor because he is ex-tremely bright and extremely thoughtful about what it is that he wants to do. He has a good instinct about issues.

What kind of hours do you put in? They’re long hours and it’s because things happen all the time. I may be doing a conference call at 8 o’clock or 9 o’clock at night sometimes. … It’s all over the place.

What’s the governor like when he gets mad? Quite frankly, I haven’t seen him get mad. I’d say that sometimes he’ll be struck that certain things can’t happen because of some bureaucratic reason or something like that. He doesn’t get mad, he just sort of wonders why we get stuck in government sometimes, with some of the bureaucratic things that go on. I’ve never seen him mad –– yet.

What’s something you know about the governor that isn’t coming across to the public? I think what’s not really coming across is how hard he is working, and some of the major issues that he’s resolved. One of the things we lose sight of sometimes is that we are in a very, very unusual and difficult economic time, and I think that the public tends not to have as much time to pay attention to what’s go-ing on in the public discourse because they are concerned about what’s going on their own personal issues. Circum-

stances are such that people worry how they are going to handle their own finances so this stuff, what goes on at the Statehouse, becomes less of a concern.

What is the toughest part of your job? I think the tough-est part is to maintain a bal-ance between all the interests that come before us here in the governor’s office, whether it’s from the cabinet or external issues. Everybody has good reasons why we should make a particular decision, but you have to balance against those who may be impacted in a negative way. It’s always hard to make sure you have all the information and are making the right recommendations.

The governor was in-volved with the recent fund-ing controversy with Zoo New England. Did you play any role in that? My role was pretty limited, in terms of that. The appropriate place for Zoo New England to work through the issues was with Secretary Bialecki, the housing and eco-nomic development secretary, and basically I just made sure they were connected. He met with them and they reached the resolution that they are at now.

Did you interact with the legislators about the zoo? No, that’s one of those things I think the legislature has some strong feelings about. Our con-cern was making sure that the management of the zoo was really looking at everything as closely as possible. This is such a difficult economic time with so many things being cut, things that really affect every-day people and their everyday lives. We just wanted to make sure the zoo was doing ev-erything it could in its part to mange its operation well.

Do you have any inter-action with Duxbury’s state legislators? Senator Hedlund, I know well from my time here. He’s a good guy. I like him a lot.

How did you end up mov-ing to Duxbury? My wife and I were living in Weymouth at the time. We were looking for somewhere to buy. Weymouth, I grew up there. We were look-ing for something a little more quiet and rural and Duxbury fit the bill. Also planning ahead because my daughter was born in 1994. We were thinking about schools and all that, and Duxbury is a good community and a nice town.

Do you find you have time to take advantage of some of the amenities Duxbury has to offer? We used to when we first moved to town and the kids were little, absolutely.

We used to take the kids to the beach all the time. But I’d say, the last several years it hasn’t been the case. Not as much as I would like.

Last fall, Duxbury voted for a Democrat for president for the first time in about 40 years? Being a Democrat and having lived in Duxbury for a while now would you say it’s a more of blue town or a red town? I think it’s a thoughtful town [laughing].

The issue in Cambridge with Prof. Gates and Ser-geant Crowley has gotten a lot of attention lately. As an African American man liv-ing here in Duxbury do you ever feel like you’ve ever ex-perienced any type of racial discrimination? I can’t say that I have in Duxbury, no. I’ve never experienced that here. I mean, have I ever experienced that in my life? Sure. Yeah. …It’s an interesting question. You have to understand me; I was born and raised in Wey-mouth and when I was there it was not a diverse town, so the situation is not unusual to me. And so I think if people look at me differently, I have an ex-pectation about that. It’s not something that I would think that much about, quite frankly, because it’s something I’ve lived with all my life.

Where do you go to relax or get away? This past Feb-ruary we were in St. Thomas on vacation, which everybody loved. My wife and I actually were married there, but it was the first time with the kids. We have a great time there. I also have a cousin that lives in Mi-ami and we try to visit him a lot.

Read any good books lately? I haven’t read anything good lately that I can think of, but I can tell you what I want to read. There’s a new book about Satchel Paige that I’d like to read.

You a baseball fan? Defi-nitely.

Do you think the Red Sox should trade those pitching prospects for Roy Halladay? I’d love them to.

What’s your take on the gubernatorial race and Charlie Baker? Hard to tell, really. For me it’s just way too early to start the next cam-paign.

Ever want to run for of-fice yourself? No.

What are your plans down the road? I don’t know. I’ve been very fortunate throughout my whole career to have some really interest-ing positions. Quite frankly I haven’t really thought that far ahead.

The “King Caesar Morn-ing Lectures,” presented by the Duxbury Rural and Historical Society continue on Thursday, Aug. 6 with a lecture by Craig Chartier, Director of the Plym-outh Archaeology Re-Discov-ery Project who will share the findings of the Society’s Sec-ond Meeting House dig. The event begins with refreshments at 10 a.m. and the lecture com-mences at 10:30.

The Duxbury Rural and Historical Society engaged Chartier last fall to lead the archaeological dig that took place at the Society’s Second Meeting House Lot. Located on Chestnut Street next to the Old Burying Ground, the lot was the site of Duxbury’s

Second Meeting House from c. 1706 to 1785. More than 150 volunteers of all ages took part in the dig, locating traces of the foundation and many fragments of building mate-rial. Chartier will describe the location of the structure as determined by the dig and will display some of the artifacts discovered.

The lecture takes place at the King Caesar Barn on 120 King Caesar Road in Duxbury. Tickets are $5 person and may be purchased at the door. For information about the lecture series, visit the Society’s Web-site at www.duxburyhistory.org or phone 781-934.6106.

A Tufankjian Family Dealership The King Caesar House, owned and operated by the

Duxbury Rural and Historical Society as a museum, is cel-ebrating its bicentennial this year. The house on Powder Point belonged to Ezra Weston II (1772-1842), known as “King Caesar” due to his suc-cess in shipbuilding and mer-cantile trade. Weston owned the leading shipping firm on the South Shore and one of the largest in New England. 200 years ago, his home was the center of Duxbury’s largest industry.

On Aug. 22, from 7-9 p.m., the Society will host an evening reception celebrating the 200th birthday of the King Caesar House. The event will be held on scenic Bum-pus Park, once King Caesar’s wharf. Tickets are $35 per person and may be obtained by contacting the Society at 781-934-6106. The reception will feature music, food by Crazy

Chefs Catering, a silent auc-tion and the debut of “In the Days of King Caesar,” a new, computer generated mini-doc-umentary giving a virtual tour of the King Caesar Estate as it appeared in the 18th and early 19th centuries. The event is sponsored by Boston Finan-cial Management.

The DRHS has recently undertaken some major resto-ration work to the front façade of the King Caesar House in anticipation of the house’s 200th birthday. The key part of the work involves the restora-tion of the main entryway and the delicately carved mould-ing there. The great majority of original woodwork will be

retained but, in some cases, is being removed, treated to ensure its long-term preserva-tion, and pieced back together flush and square. Some unsal-vageable moulding is being replaced. In addition, every window on the front of the house is being reglazed and the entire façade painted. This project is made possible, in part, by a grant from the John and Cynthia Reed Founda-tion.

Those with questions about the evening reception on Aug. 22 may contact the Duxbury Rural and Historical Society at 781-934-6106 or visit the Society’s Web site at duxburyhistory.org.

Alden honor a long time

comingDuxbury residents –– and the close-knit cadre

of descendants known as the Alden Kindred –– have long understood the importance of the

Alden homestead, and of Pilgrims John and Priscilla Alden themselves.

This weekend, the rest of the country has been clued in on the historic nature of the site and the couple, immortalized in Henry Wadsworth Longfellows’s poem “The Courtship of Myles Standish.”

Alden House Curator Jim Baker said it best: when you see a traditional representation of a

pilgrim couple –– be it two humans, or two turkeys, or two frogs –– they are modeled after John and Priscilla Alden. They were America’s first couple, and a true Duxbury treasure.

Saturday’s ceremony hit on a few important themes. Although the homestead off Alden Street is the most visible aspect of the historic site, it isn’t really what earned the

national honor. Sure, the home is a pristine example of colonial architecture. And

the first site, located behind the school athletic fields, turned up a number of historical artifacts that told researchers more about how the Pilgrims lived. But the true treasure of the Alden house is as a monument to a family –– a family that has kept the property since Pilgrim times, and journeys to Duxbury every year for a very extended family reunion. This is a family that remembers its history and lineage better than most.

So congratulation to all involved. It is an honor well-deserved.

–– J. Graeber

Former player sounds off ————————

Dear Ms. Skeiber: My name is Scott Austin, it might

ring a bell to you since you were my assistant principal back in the day. I just finished my freshman year at Cornell University where I continue to play lacrosse. However, all spring long I have heard rum-blings about rumors and upset parents with the direction of the lacrosse program and the coach, Chris Sweet.

I played four years of la-crosse at Duxbury High School, one on the freshman team and three on varsity. I won three state championships and gar-nered my own accolades as I was named an All-American and Massachusetts player of the year. I feel that the voice of the alumni has to be heard. Everyone I have talked to that graduated before this year loved their lacrosse experience in high school. Playing for Coach Sweet, I learned how not only to win, but how to handle success with class. I learned a great deal under coach that has helped me in the next level. Not every player has the dis-cipline and hard work required at the next level that I learned through Coach Sweet.

I know a lot of the prob-lems have been about the large freshman class making the team and which players played the majority of the minutes. I did not make the team as a fresh-

man (we weren’t even allowed to try out) due to the returning players. At first I was annoyed, but it ultimately worked for the best. This year, the large portion of the team had graduated and Coach Sweet had to make some difficult decisions. He chose the players that he felt would give the team the best success. That is the job of the coach, he has the ultimate say in who plays and who makes the team, and often it is a hard decision that will anger some critics. Coach Sweet knows what is best for his team and for the players. I

learned a tremendous amount from him as a person and play-er, and even though I have not agreed in every decision he has made, I will fully support him because he gauges his decisions on what will help the team and not on a single individual. He is one of the best high school lacrosse coaches in the country and Duxbury would be making a poor decision if they chose to uphold the move to end his ten-ure at Duxbury High.

Chris Sweet’s dedication to his players both on and off the field. If anyone has a problem with his decisions, meet him face to face. You will feel bet-ter, and your son will be proud

of you. This is the way to get a resolution to your concerns, not backstabbing. How can a new direction be up? Wake up! The roses will disappear, enjoy them while you can.

Music Festival has been a great success ——

Drivers should have stopped after accident ––

On behalf of South Shore Conserva-tory, we want to

thank the Duxbury community for making the 2009 Duxbury Music Festival a triumphant success. We are so grateful to our fabulous Co-Chairs Mary Steinke and Judy Gagnon, and their crew of 150 volunteers, who welcomed, hosted and fed faculty and students, managed concerts, recitals and events, and provided marketing sup-port. We extend our thanks to the Duxbury media for their wonderful coverage of the Fes-tival and to the many Duxbury businesses who generously promoted the festival in their advertising and provided in-kind goods and services. Dux-bury residents attended festival concerts and recitals in record

numbers and lent their support as sponsors and donors. The Duxbury Music Festival would not be possible without the in-credible support of this com-munity – thank you, Duxbury, for welcoming, embracing and supporting the Duxbury Music Festival. Mark your calendars

for another fabulous festival next year!

Snowy Owl flies the coop ––—

Arriving at my shop, The Snowy Owl, July 28 I quickly

realized that my sign had disap-peared overnight. The wooden sign (approx. 2.5’ x 4’) was painted by me some ten years ago. It graced the side of my shop at 285 St. George Street for many years and most re-cently directed customers to the rear entrance of my new “nest”

at 9 Standish Street.For those of you unfamiliar

with it, there is a huge snowy owl painted on sky blue back-ground, sitting in curls of sea-weed. The word “ANTIQUES” appears above his head.

Any info on sightings would be greatly appreciated!

To the blond girl driv-ing the noisy light-colored Saab who hit

School for the closing of the day of basketball camp. I am sure you made a lasting impres-sion on them. I hope they saw the wrong in what you did and will have the conscience to do the right thing if they are ever in such a situation. I hope you recognize yourself in this letter and at least vow to do the right thing the next time you are in a difficult situation. We all have

them and we all have to make these decisions over and over again in life. I hope that your next confrontation with your conscience is not in a more serious situation than this and that you learn to make better decisions.

Special to the clipper

Twelve members of Boy Scout Troop 62 Duxbury recently

returned from a High Adven-ture trip in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains at Philmont Scout Ranch in New Mexico. A total of eight boys from Duxbury ages 14-16, and four adult ad-

visors backpacked fifty-pound packs more than 90 miles in the wilderness of the Rocky Mountains over eleven days. They had prepared for the trip by four days of wilderness hiking up Mt. Washington in June, meeting at the peak with a total of 32 scouts and adult leaders.

The crew of 12 departed on July 9 with the Old Colony Council contingent and toured southern Colorado, acclimat-ing to the high mountain alti-tude, visiting Pikes Peak and enjoying level four white water rafting on the Arkansas River. They then went to Philmont in northern New Mexico to begin their trek.

The crew of scouts and ad-visors carried everything they needed to survive during their trek on their backs. They prac-ticed “leave no trace” camping skills, map and compass read-ing, trail cooking, wilderness first aid, water purification and other survival techniques. Along their trek, they encoun-tered extreme challenges in-cluding camping in bear and mountain lion territory. The

group also participated in many back country activities including 100-foot sheer rock climbing and repelling. One of the highlights was the 3,000 climb feet up Baldy Mountain, 12,400 above sea level.

The Troop 62 Crew made what amounts to a scout-ing pilgrimage with the trip to Philmont. The Philmont Scout Ranch continues to be the Boy Scouts of America’s premier high adventure camp and the largest youth camp in the world. Troop 62 Philmont trek members included: Chris Sullivan Crew Leader, Brian Kelley Asst Crew Leader, Brendan Meehan Chaplain’s aide, Parker Doyle, James Oliver, Michael Roberts Jr, Matt McCutcheon, and Joseph Kearney. Adult advisors in-clude Dr. Scott Oliver Adult Head Advisor, Eddie Carll, Michael Roberts Sr, and Bruce McCutcheon. Troop 62, spon-sored by Holy Family Church in Duxbury, is very proud of its Scouts and their ability to perform so well in high adven-ture activities.

781-834-6231 • 267 Ocean St., Brant Rock, Marshfieldto be submitted to the National Park Service. Although the site was already listed on the National Historic Register (a list of about 80,000 sites na-tionwide) the designation as a National Landmark, a group of less than 2,500 sites across the country, is a far more pres-tigious honor.

“It’s a promotion,” said McCarthy, who added that people often confuse the two distinctions.

The first steps to the honor were taken around 2003-2004, McCarthy said.

Jim Baker had just become curator of the house, and was doing some research on his own, along with another Alden descendent who had previous-ly worked on colonial archi-tecture at Williamsburg.

McCarthy, a kindred mem-ber himself, started to work on preparing an application for landmark status, at the urging of his friend and mentor, na-tional parks advocate Robin Winks.

“He strongly encouraged me to get the process started,” McCarthy said. “It was a lucky confluence of people being in-volved.”

McCarthy spoke to the complication of the process, noting that the most visible as-pect of the site, the circa 1700 house located on Alden Street, is perhaps the least important.

First and foremost is the cultural impact the Alden story has had on American culture. John Alden, the barrel maker on the Mayflower, decided to throw his lot in with the set-tlers and even –– as postulated by John Adams, an Alden de-scendent –– may have been the first man to set foot on Plym-outh Rock. Another Alden descendent, poet Henry Wad-sworth Longfellow, immortal-ized John and Priscilla in his work “The Courtship of Myles Standish,” Priscilla’s words to Alden, then acting as an inter-mediary for Pilgrim military leader Standish, “Speak for thyself John,” established the Aldens as the archetypical Pilgrim couple. Their names were taught in history classes and even graced the labels of cookies.

“They are the best known and most recognizable de-piction of the Pilgrims as a whole,” said Baker.

“All Americans had that as part of their cultural back ground,” McCarthy added. “They’ve become the symbol-ic Pilgrims.”

Also included in the land-mark designation is the site of the original Alden home, locat-ed several hundred feet away from the existing house behind the school athletic fields. The original site was excavated in

1960, and artifacts were found that shed light on how the original Pilgrims lived.

The site also serves as a monument to genealogy, a tes-tament to the dedication of the Alden Kindred in keeping their shared heritage alive. John and Priscilla had ten children, 70 grandchildren and 400 great-grandchildren. Their descen-dants include names like Ad-ams and Longfellow, as well as New York Times publisher Arthur Sulzberger, actor Orson Welles, poet and newspaper editor William Cullen Bryant and former Vice President Dan Quayle.

All of these things together earned the site the historical honor.

“There’s no single site, outside of Plymouth Rock, that pulls it all together like this one,” said Baker.

Marianne Peak of the Na-tional Park Service came to Duxbury Saturday afternoon to bestow the honor at the Alden Kindred’s annual meeting.

“The federal government recognized what all of you have long appreciated,” she said.

Selectman Betsy Sullivan also spoke at the ceremony on behalf of the town. She called

the site “part of the fabric of what makes Duxbury such a wonderful place to live.”

“Thank you for being part of our history,” she told the crowd.

Marianne peak, Susan Skeiber and betsy Sullivan pose with the plaque that will be installed at the Alden House. In addition to the existing house, the site of the first Alden home, located on school property, is also part of the landmark designation.

The site of the first Alden house – the only house that John and priscilla Alden probably lived in –– is behind the athletic fields at the school complex.

By Bruce Barrett, clipper columnist [email protected]

When Harry Katz reached me last week, I knew I had a column that would

write itself. Duxbury’s Interfaith Council sponsors a program called TLC Backpacks.

“The children thought it up,” said committee co-chairwoman Sherry Murphy. “The letters stand for Teach our children, Learn to give, Care about others.”

It started last year, Sherry explained, when Lisa DiVasta’s son

Jared was planning his tenth birthday party. In lieu of gifts, Jared asked guests to bring school supplies for children on a tight budget. Harry told me that in recent years an increasing number of families had been asking the Interfaith Council for help preparing

for the upcoming school year. Good ideas, it seems, grow like weeds.

As it stands now, around 50 children are on the list to receive backpacks filled with the necessary supplies to start the school year. They have been identified right down to age, gender, and grade with the same confidential but inclusive methods the council uses for their holiday food baskets.

“We don’t even know who the kids are,” said Lisa. “I have a spreadsheet for all the grades and what they need.

The United States Optimist Dingy As-sociation named

Sean Golden and Alec Stewart, both from Duxbury, to the 15-person Team USA that repre-sented the United States at the Flanders Invitational Regatta, in Nieuwpoort, Belgium. Sail-ors qualified for the event based upon their performance at the US National Team Trials that took place in early May, in Darien, Conn.

The US Team was com-prised of Optimist sailors from throughout the USA, including New England, Illinois, Florida and Texas. Coaching the team were long time US National Optimist coach Ben Williams, from South Florida, and Eddie Conrad from Stanford Univer-sity. The team met in Europe several days prior to the event to practice in the conditions and adjust to the time zone.

The international event took place over five days, and hosted teams from 11 coun-tries throughout Europe, North America, and South America. A total of 79 sailors competed in the regatta. The event took place in Nieuwpoort, Belgium, on the North Sea. The area is known for strong tides, strong winds, and rugged weather, though for the better part of the eight days of sailing, the sun shined and the winds were light. However, conditions changed during the final days of the regatta and the racers saw six-foot seas and winds that blew, at times, over 30 knots. Sailing on day four was

cancelled due to lightning in the area.

Alec Stewart, a freshman at Duxbury High School, sailed very consistently through-out the regatta, finishing 28th place overall in a very tal-ented international fleet. His strong performance included an eigthplace during the sec-ond day of racing. “Sailing in Belgium was a real sailing ex-perience,” said Stewart. “Es-pecially when they right away pulled the black flag. I have to admit I was a little shaken but I still managed to pull out a good set of races.”

Alec is part of the Dux-bury Bay Maritime School Race Team and the Fort Ad-ams Sailing Team in Newport, Rhode Island. Since returning

When we put the backpacks together, each one has a list on it with the needed supplies.”

The list of children is completed, but Harry made it clear that any family that needs help should call the Interfaith Council at 781-934-8388. It may take some scrambling at this late date, but the Interfaith Council Service Committee has always welcomed families asking for help.

Lisa agreed. The project has become something of joint family enterprise for the Murphy and DiVasta families. Jared, Sarah and Luke DiVasta and Isabel and Tess Murphy tell the story on the Interfaith Council’s Web site (www.duxinterfaith.com) where you can click on the Backpack, then on the “Teach, Learn, Care” icon to see photos and read the story.

“Luke is a little older,” Lisa explained. “He donated the proceeds from his key-chain business.”

The euro-style “DUX” key-chains are available at Mermaids of Duxbury Bay (the gift shop across from Farfar’s), Westwinds Bookshop, and Pro-Sports in Kingston. The key-chains are donated, so the entire $5 purchase price goes to support the program.

Backpacks are still needed, along with items from the Web site needs list. No one said so, but I think money might help even more, since the TLC “staff” can use it to buy exactly what’s needed. The backpacks should be top quality, neutral colors, and new (freshly bought, never used).

No one pressed the newness issue, but I will. New means new. Nothing is more fragile or more valuable than a child’s self esteem. Carrying a favorite grungy bag is fine, but only for the kid who “grunged” it to begin with. And forget the $8.99 “wow” bags. They shred the first day. Buy the real thing, or buy the Crayola crayons and let someone else buy the bags.

To donate a TI-83 calculator (required for science and math in the high school), call the council at 781- 934-8388. They’re not cheap. Full price at Target is about $100. Worth it? Of course it is. For a science and math oriented children, graphing calculators with input and output ports mean working through science experiments with actual sensors and graphs, better than having their own oscilloscopes (the TI-83 does more). You won’t be spending that on a calculator. You’ll be spending it on a child.

Drop off is at the First Parish Church (next to Town Hall) from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Aug. 17, 18, and 19. I can nearly smell the freshly sharpened pencils, the Crayola crayons, the thick pads of paper, lumpy with wood chips. A new school year, when every child can be prepared and proud. As Lisa DiVasta put it, each one can “start the year feeling good.”

from Europe he has contin-ued his success in Optis, tak-ing first place in the Duxbury Yacht Club Regatta and the Stone Horse Regatta in Har-wichport. Stewart is presently a front runner for the South-ern Mass Sailing Association Grand Prix Award.

Sean Golden, a sophomore at Tabor Academy, fought back from a disqualification in his first race of the first day to finish 40th overall in the regat-ta. Golden’s sailing seemed to improve as the conditions became more severe, moving up 12 places in the final days thanks to the strong wind and big waves. “Sailing in the conditions on the final days was nothing like I had experi-enced before in an Opti,” said Golden. “At one point, a squaw came through and it was blow-ing 35-40 knots. The waves were so big that at times you would go down a roller and the entire fleet would disappear. It

was great.” Golden sails for the Dux-

bury Bay Maritime School and FAST, as well as Tabor Acad-emy’s Sailing Team. Golden has moved up from the Opti Class to the two-person 420 class boats this summer. “I re-ally feel fortunate that I had the chance to be part of the US

Team and have my last Opti race be in Belgium,” he said. Golden, along with Doyle Cal-houn of Cohasset, took first place in the Duxbury Bay 420 Regatta the weekend before leaving for Belgium. He and DBMS crew Emily Pitman also won the Duxbury Yacht Club Regatta last week.

Since it began in 1998, the Duxbury Bay Maritime School has trained numerous sailors that have competed at regional, national, and interna-tional levels. DBMS provides instruction to over 1,600 stu-dents per year, from basic sail-ing and water safety classes to training for sailors that will compete at the highest levels. It is regarded as among the leading sailing programs in New England for novice and advanced sailing instruction, as well as ACCESSAIL, a nationally recognized, award-winning program that provides sailing opportunities for those with disabilities.

The annual alumni soccer game organized by Duxbury resident Maynard Sangster took place on Saturday night at Coppens Field in Duxbury

A contingent of 27 DHS soccer alumni played in the game that was viewed by a number of fans. The squads were divided by even and odd years with Jim Barrows (’74) and Matt Doheny (‘81) serving as captains. Coaches for the match were Foster “Frosty”

Cass and current DHS coach John Tocci. Barrows was the oldest alumni to play, while Pat Walsh and Spencer Smith (‘09) were the youngest. Peter McEvoy (Richmond, VA) and Steven Cass (Jacksonville, FL) took the honors for travel-ing the farthest.

Barrow’s even-year squad was dominant in the first half, as goals by Mark Manganello (‘91), Barrows (penalty-kick), Smith, Klaus Jensen (‘84), and Willy Tucker (‘07) staked them to a 5-1 lead with Greg Doyon

(‘05) getting on the board for the odds.

In the second half the teams were shuffled and the pre-’95 graduates played the more recent grads with goals being scored by Manganello and McEvoy (‘86).

Proceeds benefited the Duxbury High soccer program with Donny Merry being not-ed for an extra generous dona-tion. Next year’s match will be played on Saturday, Aug. 7.

Plymouth regional tournament earlier this summer.Leading the way are team leaders in on-base-percentage, Caitlin Turok, Allie Puatu, Caroline

O’Connor and Katerina Ellison. Also contributing with some big hits in key situations have been Olivia Zelvis, Sabrina Linskey, Mackenzie Bright and Caroline O’Rourke. Using their speed to provide a spark on the bases have been Madison Garrity, Olivia Anello and Melissa Lirosi.

Defensively, the team has received strong pitching performances from new Duxbury resident, “L.A” Puatu; with Turok and Ellison providing strong relief. Anchoring the infield have been Ellison (1st base), Turok (shortstop) and Zelvis and Puatu (catcher). Steady performances at 2nd and 3rd base have been turned in by Linskey, Bright and Garrity. Providing strong outfield play (including several “heads-up” back up plays) have been Lirosi, O’Connor, O’Rourke and Anello.

Coaches Jeff Turok and Bill Ellison have seen a lot of progress since the team tryouts back in May. They wish to thank all of the girls for their tremendous effort and attitude all season long.

Clark’s Island is home to Pulpit Rock –– considered to be many to be the “real Plym-outh Rock” –– but many peo-ple may not know about the se-cluded island in Duxbury Bay. Each year, the Duxbury Rural and Historic Society leads a group out to the island for a picnic and a brief religious service, held in the shadow of the great stone where the first Sabbath Day service in the New World was held.

Clark’s Island was home for many years to a poet and artist colony, led by Sarah Taylor. When Taylor died, she left her property, and her fam-ily home, Cedarfield, to the Duxbury Rural and Historical Society. (The island is techni-cally in Plymouth.)

The island holds more than natural beauty, however, but a unique historic significance. When the Mayflower was an-chored off Cape Cod and the Pilgrims aboard were looking for a safe place to settle, (hav-ing decided Cape Cod was too sandy for farming,) a group of men took a small ship, called the “Shallop,” out to explore the coastline. One of the sail-ors aboard had been to the New World before and be-lieved the group near a harbor he recognized.

However, the Shallop was caught in a fierce Decem-ber storm, and the men were soon lost, freezing, and losing hope.

“They had no idea where they were, probably going to be dashed on the shoals,” said Patrick Browne, Executive Director of the Duxbury Ru-ral and Historical Society, as a launch from Duxbury Bay Maritime School brought a crowd of picnickers out to the Island last Sunday afternoon.

However, one sailor urged the group to pick up their oars and continue, and soon the

group landed on Clark’s Is-land.

The group survived the storm and eventually found what’s known now as Pulpit Rock, where they held a reli-gious service (it was Sunday) believed to be the first in the New World. The date was Dec. 20, 1620.

The rock is also known as Election Rock, because the men looked around and took a vote, eventually deciding that this was the place they would settle and build a new colony.

Browne pointed out that the tiny boat contained most of the Pilgrim leaders –– if the storm had claimed them, our country’s history might be quite different.

“If the Shallop had been dashed on the shoals, there would have been no leader-ship,” he said.

The Pulpit Rock itself is a huge boulder that seems to appear out of nowhere on the otherwise pastoral island. Some consider it to be “the real Plymouth Rock.”

“It’s inspiring, it’s about

what you’d expect Plymouth Rock to be,” said Browne.

Rev. Todd Vetter of the Pilgrim Church was invited to read a Bible passage and give a brief sermon in what’s become part of the tradition

for the DR&HS trip, a nod to the original day the settlers spent near Pulpit Rock. Vetter talked about the independent, forward-thinking spirit of the Pilgrims, and the minister they left behind in England, John

Robinson.“A very special part of the

foundation of our nation was laid in this area ... perhaps at the foot of this very rock,” he said.

Clark’s Island home to first Sabbath

Each year, the Duxbury Rural and Historical Society leads a group of picnickers out to the island. The owner of the land that contains Pulpit Rock, Sarah Taylor, left her property to the society when she died. There are several private homes on the island as well.

This large boulder in the middle of Clark’s Island is known as Pulpit Rock, because a group of Pilgrim leaders caught in a severe storm took shelter there. They later held a brief Sunday service, believed to be the first in the New World, in the shadow of the massive rock.

The team went 8-0 to win the 12U Championship in the tournament held July 25-30. Back Row: Coaches Barney Earle, Jamie Walsh and Paul Moretti.
