Board vetoes
contract call
Decision by town manager not
to renew police chief overturned
By Susanna Sheehan
& Justin Graeber, Clipper Staff
In front of a standing-
room only crowd that spilled
into the hallway, a majority of
Duxbury selectmen voted to
overturn the town manager’s
decision not to renew Police
Chief Mark DeLuca’s contract
when it expires in November.
The crowd came to the
selectmen’s meeting Monday
to hear what action the board
would take after a June 4 let-
ter from Town Manager Rich-
ard MacDonald informed the
chief his contract would not be
renewed.
Supporters out in
force for police chief
By Justin Graeber, Clipper Editor
justin@duxburyclipper.com
Supporters of Police Chief
Mark DeLuca packed the Mu-
ral Room at Town Hall Mon-
day night to urge the Board
of Selectmen to reverse Town
Manager Richard MacDon-
ald’s decision not to renew his
contract.
Other residents, however,
voiced support for MacDonald
and said overturning the move
could undermine the authority
of the Town Manager Act.

Chic shack for the beach
Reservation unveils new building, other changes
By Colleen Moore
Clipper Intern
The Duxbury Beach Res-
ervation hosted an open house
last Saturday in which they of-
ficially opened the beach and
unveiled a new harbormaster’s
shack, along with new signs
placed throughout the beach.
The Reservation has been
working on getting the new
signs on the beach since last
summer.
Inspiration for the changes
came from Robert and Anna
Millar, who donated both their
time and money to the Reser-
vation for many years. The new harbormaster shack has the same dimensions as the old
one, with the addition of a slight overhang on the roof, giving beach

Gratuities stopped at cemetery - June Special -

By Justin Graeber, Clipper Editor
justin@duxburyclipper.com
Cemetery officials say they
have put a stop to the practice
of tipping crematory employ-
ees.
“It’s a practice that had
been going on for many years,”
said Cemetery Superintendent
Patricia Pappas, on Friday.
Pappas said the practice
pre-dated her time in charge
of the cemetery and crema-
tory, and there was never an
official policy in place to deal
with tipping. She said she has
since crafted a policy that has
been accepted by the town’s
cemetery trustees.
Town Manager Richard
MacDonald said he was aware
of the issue and is continuing
to look into the matter, but
was satisfied the practice had
stopped.
“[DPW Director Peter]
Buttkus and Ms. Pappas as-
sured me there’s a policy that’s
been put in place immediate-
ly,” he said.
Under Massachusetts state
law, municipal employees are
prohibited from accepting
cash gifts.
Beverly Johnson, a mem-
ber of the Board of Cemetery
Trustees, said she had not been
aware of the practice of tipping
until it was recently brought to
her board’s attention.
“We were not aware of it,”
she said. “We voted that the
practice had to stop.” She add-
ed that it was a unanimous vote
to accept the new policy at the
trustees’ meeting in June.
“When it’s brought out
into the open, you have to deal
with it,” she said.
A former trustee, James
Costello, who left the board
last year, said he had never
heard of the tipping practice
during his time on the board.
Some local funeral homes
said the practice of tipping
workers who lend a hand at the
cemetery is not an uncommon
practice, but not for crematory
workers specifically. Until the
recent opening of a crematory
in Plymouth, Duxbury was
one of the only municipally-
run crematories in the state.
“I think it’s a pretty com-
mon occurrence to tip the
guys that help out,” said Bruce
Young of Shepherd Funeral
Home in Pembroke. He said
he was referring to people
who do things like lift the cof-
fin once the funeral arrives at a
cemetery.
Joseph Davis, of Richard
Davis Funeral Home, said it
was common to tip people
who help during a burial, but
not a cremation.
“It’s probably more of an
industry standard to give a
slight gratuity,” he said.
He said a tip is usually a Bring a friend
small amount, between $5-10
dollars, and in his experience and receive

for things like coffee or a holi-

“I’ve never been told not
to by anyone,” said Davis, TRACY SHEEHAN
who has been in the funeral PHOTOGRAPHY
business since 1973. He said
he has not heard anything TracySheehan.com

cifically.
Johnson said that the trust-
ees looked into the matter
and discovered the amount of
money being given as tips was
relatively small.
“It’s not really a big issue
... it’s only a few of the under-
takers that tip,” she said.

10 Enterprise Rd. Duxbury (formerly Endless Summer) • 781-934-9199
One of the most disturb-
ing results of the student risky
behavior survey conducted a
few years ago was the high oc-
currence of students reporting
suicide attempts or suicidal
thoughts. But a group tasked
with studying the problem
reported to the School Com-
mittee last week that measures
taken at the high school are
having an effect.
Maura O’Rahily gave a
781-834-6231 • 267 Ocean St., Brant Rock, Marshfield presentation on Wednesday
on behalf of the School Health
Advisory Council. She said
that the group had met around
DUXBURY PIZZA eight times over the past few
years, and praised council
members, which included
We deliver pizza, subs teachers, psychologists, and
and dinners from our kitchen parents, for their dedication.
The charge of the group,
to your door! O’Rahily said, was to take the
4pm - close suicide date from the last two
youth risk behavior surveys
(781) 934-6568 (2005 and 2007) and to make
recommendations to the ad-
ministration and School Com-
mittee.
If you enjoy living in Duxbury, then ‘Speak for Thyself’ awards will be held June 20
you’ll love dining in Marshfield
The group started with the
assumption that stress and/
or lack of stress management
leads to suicidal thoughts and
other mental health issues,
O’Rahily said. They then gath-
ered anecdotal data from both
students and teachers as to the
causes of stress.
Students reported stress
from a number of causes, in-
cluding bullying, college pres-
sure, poor time management,
substance abuse, testing, and
peer pressure. Teachers re-
ported stress caused by par-
ent pressure, deadlines, IEP
expectations, over-work and
over-supervision.
“Next we decided to find
out what the Duxbury public
schools were doing to assist,”
O’Rahily said.
She said they found that
Duxbury had several “out-
standing” programs in place to
help combat stress. For teach-
ers, there is an employee as-
sistance program and other in
house options available.
For students, the new high
school advisory program has
made an impact, O’Rahily
said, along with the Link/
Web program, student assis-
tance, and the transition room
at DHS, where students who
have been away from school
for long periods of time can
go to ease their transition back
into high school life.
“These programs are prov-
ing to be effective, and it’s
unique to have all of these
programs in a school.” “We’re
really fortunate to have these
programs.”
O’Rahily said she runs
an advisory group at the high
school. The program is in its
first year.
“Advisory stands out,” she
said. “It was taken directly
from the youth risk survey be-
cause youths did not feel con-
nected to adults in the building
... advisory promotes that.”
O’Rahily said middle
school members of the School
Health Advisory Council be-
lieve the program would be
helpful at DMS as well.

Hit and run driver at large
By Colleen Moore, Clipper Intern
A hit-and-run driver who
sent a seven-year-old Duxbury
boy to the hospital with seri-
ous injuries is still at large, say
Braintree Police.
The boy was severely in-
jured last Saturday during a hit
and run accident in Braintree.
The boy was playing in the
yard at a relative’s graduation
party on Richard Road when
he chased a ball into the street,
according to police.
He was then hit by a car
and run over by the back tires,
according to a police press re-
lease. The boy is being treated
at South Shore Hospital for a
fractured right tibia and a frac-
ture to his pelvis.
His name has not been re-
leased and no further updates
on his status were available as
of press time.
The boy described the ve-
hicle as a brand new black car,
that looked like a police car
without lights. He added that
it might have had a BMW logo
on the back, said police.
According to the report,
Duxbury Clipper 7
no adults witnessed the acci-
dent, but other children at the
party (ages five and six) saw
the vehicle and said that it had
a brown top.
The police are unsure if
the operator of the vehicle re-
alized that he had hit the boy.
There have been no further
updates on the case as of Mon-
day, Russell Jenkins, Braintree
deputy chief said. The driver of
the car has not come forward
or been identified, he said.

Town looks at energy savings
Alternative energy committee
hears from expert on
‘performance contracting’
By Colleen Moore
Clipper Intern
Duxbury may look to an
outside firm to help make its
buildings more energy effi-
cient and cost effective.
The Alternative Energy
Committee met last Tuesday

with Johnson Quality Controls
to discuss potential rebuilding
plans of town buildings and
schools in the future.
Johnson Controls is a
service company, said Karen
Peck, a representative from
the company. They work with
towns and businesses to make
their buildings more energy
efficient.
Johnson Controls special-
izes in formulating energy per-
formance contracts, Peck said.
These contracts allow towns
to use existing money to make
their buildings more energy
efficient. In return, the town
will save money by using less
energy.
The company uses a ho-
listic approach for projects,
Peck said. Instead of focusing
on one building at a time, they
group several buildings to-
gether and make renovations
in all the buildings.
All the contracts that John-
son Controls develop have a
guarantee savings measure.
These savings are used to pay
for the renovations, and the
renovations pay for themselves
within several years. After the
contract is completed, most
clients see a 20-30 percent
savings, Peck said.
Projects can range from
major reconstruction to put-

said. He warned that the only
drawback is that the town may
not have the energy savings to
make it worthwhile.
“My gut feeling is that
most of the low-hanging fruit
has already been taken,” Dug-
gan said. He was referring to
improvements that are easy
fixes, such as lighting controls
and better insulation. These
improvements pay for them-
selves within three to four

in his obituary that he loved

from seashells in his fabrica-

“His life was dedicated to

other people happy with his

times rambling stories,” the
obituary stated.

A spark ignited in a class
about social issues has spread
throughout the halls of Dux-
bury High School.
The screening of the film
“Invisible Children,” a docu-
mentary about child soldiers in
Uganda, inspired the students
in Susan Sullivan’s class on
Genocide and the Holocaust to
action.
The film sparked a discus-
sion in class which led to sev-
eral students forming the Afri-

that, the students, along with

In a weekend-long event in
March at the PAC, the African

concert to benefit an organiza-

which is dedicated to eradicat-

The organization was started
by Chad Stokes of State Ra-

“We didn’t know if this
was going to work unless we
got a big band,” Sullivan said.
Along with the concert, an

said.

DHS musicians visit

deaf children
On May 22, fifteen Duxbury High School student musicians
made their annual visit to the Clarke School for the Deaf and
Center for Oral Education in Canton. The purpose of this trip,
initiated in 2005 by former Duxbury graduate Kira Treibergs,
is for high school students, by way of music, to interact with
preschool age children who have just received cochlear implants
or hearing aids.
Upon arriving at the Clarke School,
Duxbury students were given a pre-
sentation about hearing impairment
and learned about cochlear implants.
They then met with the Clarke School

Board splits on police chief contract issue
continued from page one
men could affirm, overturn or
choose to take no action on
this issue at all, he said.
Deluca and his attorney,
Gerald McAuliffe, were also
present at the meeting.
The Town Manager’s Act
of 1987 states that the Board
of Selectmen “shall act upon
each appointment and remov-
al made by the town manager
within fifteen days following
notification.”
During the meeting there
was a lengthy discussion by
Troy, selectmen and members
of the audience about whether
not renewing DeLuca’s con-
tract was the same as terminat-
ing him.
“I think the question is
this: is a non-renewal equal to
a removal? If it is, then it pro-
vides the selectmen with the
authority to act,” said Select-
man Jon Witten.
Selectmen Christopher
Donato and Witten voted in
favor of a motion that inter-
preted the non-renewal of the
contract as a removal. Select-
men Chairman Betsy Sullivan
voted against this motion.
Donato and Witten then
voted in favor of a motion
overturning the town manag-
er’s decision. Sullivan voted
against.
Despite the selectmen’s
vote, Troy said the power to
actually renew the contract
was “beyond the authority of
the board.”
“That is a matter of law,”
Troy said. “The town man-
ager act is very clear. The
town manager negotiates all
contracts for the town. If the
police chief is going to have
another contract, that is going
to be the decision of the town
manager.”
Troy said the intent of the
Town Manager Act of 1987
was to have a strong manager
“but not one with unbridled
authority,” and that the ratifi-
cation clause was intended to
be a “check and balance.”
Before the board voted,
Sullivan said she did not want
to make any decision that
would undermine MacDon-
ald’s authority.

front of us is bigger than any

Police officers show their support for chief
continued from page one
Before the selectmen be-
gan to debate the fate of their
police chief, dozens of mem-
bers of the Duxbury Police
Department gathered outside
town hall in a show of sup-
port.
Uniformed officers min-
gled with police officers in
plainclothes in the hour before
the Board of Selectmen meet-
ing started Monday night.
Lt. Susan James said those
at the meeting to show support
for the chief included Plym-
outh County Sheriff Joseph
MacDonald, and members of
the Marshfield, Whitman and
Cohasset police departments.
“We’re here to support
the police chief,” James said.
“They came on their own, on
their own time.”
She said she was “devas-
tated” when she first heard of
the town manager’s decision
not to renew the contract.
Lt. Roger Banfill, who
along with James and Lt.
Lewis Chubb recently signed
a letter of support for DeLuca,
said the officers in attendance
were behind DeLuca “100
percent.”
“He’s pushed this depart-
ment forward ... he gives it his
all,” Banfill said. “Hopefully
this will convince the select-
men and the town manager to
sign a new contract.”
Inside the meeting, James
repeated her support for the
chief, and sharply criticized
MacDonald’s decision.
“I feel a mistake is being
made ... I believe Chief
DeLuca has done an
admirable job.”
–– Officer Fran McTernan
“I feel the decision ... is
a travesty and an embarrass-
ment,” she said, calling the de-
cision a “personal attack” on
the chief.
“Chief DeLuca is an hon-
orable and compassionate
leader of our department,” she
added.
Other members of the
Duxbury Police Department
echoed the support.
“I feel a mistake is being
made,” said Fran McTernan,
who said he has worked for
DeLuca for 10 years.
“The task of running a de-
partment is not an easy one.”
he said. “I believe Chief De-
Luca has done an admirable

The Mural Room at Town Hall was packed Monday night, with people spilling out into the hallway.
Dozens of police, some in uniform, showed up to express support for Chief DeLuca, while others,
including a group of former selectmen, said the town manager had to be allowed to do his job.
told the board: “You couldn’t
ask for a better man.”
Perhaps the strongest
words of support came from
Bob Hayden, a former police
chief in Lawrence who worked
with DeLuca in Boston and
was on the search committee
that brought DeLuca to Dux-
bury.
“I respect Chief DeLuca, but at the same time I respect
the town manager and I respect this government.”
–– Resident Bob Doyle
“I was looking for hones-
ty, integrity, courage ... those
are things you look for in a po-
lice chief,” he said. “I strongly
urge Duxbury to keep Mark
DeLuca as your police chief.”
Bonnie Dyer, widow of
Duxbury Special Police Of-
ficer Melvin Dyer, who was
killed last summer while
working a detail at the Marsh-
field Fair, said DeLuca was
there for her and her family in
a dark time.
“Even though there was
little hope he would survive
... Chief DeLuca came to
Brigham & Women’s every
single day to support me and
my kids,” she said. “The chief
gave Mel the best any fallen
officer could deserve. He truly
cares about all his officers.”
Ed Perry, a Duxbury resi-
dent who owns the radio sta-
tion WATD, also voiced sup-
port for DeLuca.
“I think the town of Dux-
bury has a pretty good deal
with Mark DeLuca,” he said.
He said as a reporter, it’s
his job to dig up bad things,
and in Duxbury he hasn’t found
much to complain about.
“This issue has the abil-
ity to completely polarize this
town,” he said. “Whatever you

do here, please keep the door

Others asked for the rea-
son DeLuca’s contract wasn’t
renewed.
“What is the cause? What’s
the reason why?” asked Co-
hasset Police Chief James
Hussey.
“We are asking you, as
your constituents to change
this,” said resident Deb Jew-
ell. “This is wrong.”
Other residents at the
meeting, however, said they
supported the town manager’s
right to make a decision on the
chief’s contract.
Former selectman Jim
Murphy said that in the busi-
ness world, a non-renewal
wouldn’t be considered a ter-
mination, a sentiment echoed

“In the 27 years I’ve been
in this community, I’m not sure
there’s been a more important
decision,” he said, saying re-
versing MacDonald’s decision
could undercut the authority
of future town managers.
“It’s going to impact the

Steve Antonellis said that
if the non-renewal of a contract
is to be considered a dismissal,
it would basically create open-
ended contracts.
“I don’t think that was the
intent of the police chief and
fire chief having contracts,” he
said. “We need to allow him
[MacDonald] to do his job.”
Bob Doyle said that the
selectmen needed to respect
the authority of the town man-
ager.
“I respect Chief DeLuca,
but at the same time I respect
the town manager and I respect
this government,” Doyle said.
“He has not been fired.”
Maggie Kearney read a
letter, supporting the town
manager’s right to make the
decision. Former selectmen
Pat Dowd, John Leonard, Mar-
garet Kearney, Andre Martec-
chini, James Murphy and John
Tuffy signed the letter.
For his part, DeLuca had
little to say after the meeting,
saying he’d prefer to refrain
from commenting and would
let the matter play out with the
selectmen.

All that aside, there must
be common ground that both
parties can support so the Chief
can at least be given time to
amend current practices that
are perceived to be more in
line with town interests. I also
have a gut feeling that the cur-
rent economy has people mak-
ing decisions based on dollars
rather than sound management.
This story moved me so
much that I needed to speak to
both men to express my con-
cerns. I was surprised that I
was able to reach both of them.
I told each man that I had re-
cently retired from education,
27 years as a classroom teacher
and union negotiator, then six
years as a high school adminis-
trator, that I know the pull and
push that both camps are ex-
periencing. Both men thanked
Town’s insurance rates. Certi-
fication enables the department
to engage in state-of-the-art po-
lice practices, with the ultimate
outcome of more effective po-
licing and a safer town. If the
town manager is successful in
his apparently single-minded
quest to remove the chief of
police, without any apparent
cause, I can predict that several
very undesirable consequences
will occur very quickly. First,
there will be no effective lead-
ership in the department from
now until his replacement
comes on board. This will take
a long time, and the morale of
the department will suffer tre-
mendously. There will be a re-
sulting decline in commitment
and sensitivity to community
concerns. Second, I can assure
you that the chief will not go
quietly, and the town will in-
cur legal expenses well into six
figures. As I haven’t seen any
(“the act”) and it put the board
firmly on the side of the em-
ployee rather than the town.
The end result of all this
will be expensive for all tax-
payers. Since the town counsel
was firm in his assertion that
the town manager is within his
rights under the act, the em-
ployee’s contract will expire on
its own. Nothing the selectmen
do or say can change that. What
they did accomplish was to em-
bolden every disgruntled de-
partment head to challenge the
authority of their boss when-
ever they feel mistreated. They
also encouraged future litiga-
tion by the employee in ques-
tion against the town which will
cost each and every taxpayer to
defend.

moval in the first place, there
is every possibility that this
would be a battle lost, and then
additional payments would be
necessary to settle with the (by
then former) chief. Finally, it
should be considered that the
issue here is not the simple
“non-renewal” of a contract.
Our police chief is a three-term
public official whose termina-
tion would, and indeed should,
require some modicum of just
cause. In my opinion, as both a
former police executive as well
as an academic with a specialty
in policing, Police Chief Delu-
ca has made decisions that are
in conformance with best prac-
tices in every instance that I am
aware of. The management of

is most certainly not broken.

facts about the non-renewal of
the contract and it isn’t neces-
sary that I do. In my opinion, by
their actions, they made it more
difficult to hire future town
managers and undermined the
act. After all, what professional
manager would want to work
for a board that asks them to
manage the executive team, but
then overrules the right to hire
and fire that team? The cor-
rect approach is to evaluate the
town manager’s performance
and then either support or re-
move him from his job. That is
the way the board is supposed
to function and that is what the
act intended.

Former selectmen support town manager —— Attacks have no place ——
A A
s former selectmen
in the town of Dux-
bury, we the under-
signed would like to express
our strong support for the right
of our town manager, Richard
MacDonald, to make the de-
cision not to renew the police
chief’s contract in November.
The Town Manager Act of
1987 gives the town manager
the express authority to select
the management team that he
believes will work best with
him to deliver services to the
citizens of Duxbury. Since
1987, town managers have
made scores of managerial ap-
pointments and, at times, made
changes to their management
teams when they felt it was in
the best interest of the town to
do so. The town manager has

ome years ago, short-

Chief of Police Mark DeLuca
and bluntly asked him why,

armingly replied, “I don’t think
they knew what to make of

Now, some years later I
don’t know if Chief DeLuca’s
performance is good, bad or
indifferent. It’s not my job. I
assume that it is the job of our

contractual duties. Newly elect-

I am not sure of all the issues
that prompted this decision, but
I am quite sure that our town is
losing a fine and dedicated em-
ployee and, very sadly, we are
losing a kind and devoted ad-
vocate for our young people.
For some nine years now,
I have been working with a
tireless group of volunteers to
establish the Duxbury Student
Union, an on-campus student
center for our youth. The first
phase of this project began with
our town officials and a cam-
paign to gain support for a stu-
dent center. We began conduct-
ing surveys and doing research;
then we presented our project
to every town committee and
organization, we pleaded be-
fore the selectmen many times,
we wrote articles and spoke
at town meetings, we pleaded
cision he did and you can rest
assured he did so after consid-
ering many factors. If he feels
that it is in the best interest of
the town not to release these
reasons, that is his prerogative.
The Board of Selectmen should
not usurp the town manager’s
authority in this or any other
managerial appointment, be-
cause then the town manager
can no longer be held account-
able for his appointments if the
appointments are not made by
him. Although the town man-
ager is hired by the Board of
Selectmen and works under its
direction, he is responsible for
the day-to-day operations of the
town. If the selectmen are not
satisfied with the town manag-
er’s appointments, or any other
aspects of how he conducts the
business of the town, they have
wrong. Like Harry Truman he
quickly rose to the job. He has
done much good for this town
and has always had the best
interest of the town in any de-
cision he makes. His decision
not to retain the chief is his to
make. Right or wrong, it’s his
had some personal animos-
ity toward our Town Manager,
and that became clearly evident
during Monday night’s Select-
men meeting. I don’t know
what the root cause of his ani-
mosity is, but I do know that his
wife was, until just last week,
the Administrative Assistant to
Chief DeLuca. I can under-
stand a certain loyalty to one’s
wife’s boss, but not when you
are a public official.
In accordance with section
G.L. c. 268A, Mr. Donato was
specifically informed that he
could not participate in matter
relating to the employment of
the Police Chief. This was pri-
or to Mrs. Donato’s resignation
effective June 10, some days
before the Community Preser-
vation Commission to allocate
funds for the Wright Building,
and we pleaded again with the
selectmen for use of the Wright
Building after the CPC renova-
tion.
Throughout this very long,
challenging and often frustrat-
ing process, Chief DeLuca has
been there to support us. Truth
be told, one of very few voices
in Town government speak-
ing words of encouragement
has continuously been Chief
DeLuca’s. The Chief knows
the statistics on Youth Risk
Behavior, and we received his
letter of support from the Po-
lice Department in the first
few months of our campaign.
Chief DeLuca has been avail-
able, accessible and willing to
help the DSU provide commu-
nity programs such as our cof-
fee houses, dances, and special
events. This past March, when
the DSU reported financial dif-
ficulties, Chief DeLuca was the
first person to call us. He met
Duxbury Clipper
every right to review the body
of his work during his annual
reviews, and ultimately not to
rehire him when his contract
expires.
We know that Mr. MacDon-
ald’s decision not to reappoint
the police chief was not an easy
one. But we strongly believe
that, as town manager, he has
the authority to make this im-
portant appointment so that he
has complete confidence in the
managers working under him.
Although the Board of Select-
men might wish to offer advice,
they should not interfere with
this appointment.

decision. Anyone who lives in
Duxbury knows the history of
the department and the chief.
There is more than enough to
question.
Dan Somes

after Mr. Donato attempted an
executive session to discuss the
matter of Chief DeLuca’s em-
ployment. I submit that Mrs.
Donato’s resignation should not
exempt Selectman Donato from
conflict of interest in any issue
concerning Chief DeLuca. Mr.
Donato has admitted ignorance
of the Talent Bank procedures
when he placed his campaign
manager on the Board of Ap-
peals. I don’t know in this situ-
ation if it’s ignorance or arro-
gance that leads him to continue
his vendetta, but for the good of
the Town it should stop.

with us several times to brain-
storm on fundraising options;
he made phone calls, took up
collections, ran a prom raffle,
and within weeks presented the
DSU with a check from the Po-
lice Department for $3500.
Chief DeLuca continues to
stand by us and offer support in
many ways. He has connected
us with some very influential
mentors and opportunities. His
expertise and contacts all over
the state are invaluable and his
sincere need to help us succeed
has certainly lifted us up during
these difficult times.
Chief DeLuca loves this
town and he loves our chil-
dren. His absence would be a
great loss to our community. I
will be sending a letter of dis-
approval to our selectmen and
town manager and I encourage
everyone in Duxbury to do the
same.
Debby Jewell
King Caesar Road
few years ago at
the Annual Town
Meeting I witnessed
an ugly personal attack on a
department head in the Town
Government. The several hun-
dred people in attendance were
shocked at the virulence and
the charges leveled. That forum
is just not the place to attack
an employee who can not de-
fend him/herself regardless of
the charges. I spoke out at that
meeting to apologize for the vi-
cious attack that was seemingly
fueled by information fed to
the speaker by people with an
agenda.
The town survived that at-
tack and I thought we had seen
the last of that inappropriate
behavior but again this year a
different person publicly at-
tacked another senior town
official with similar virulence
and questionable facts at Town
Meeting. Is this a trend? If so,
it is an ugly development. The
alleged incriminating informa-
tion was proven to be quite in-
accurate by the Town Counsel
and the Selectmen but the at-
tack happened. Once again we
had been exposed to ad hom-
DeLuca has vision to lead ——
ecently, I was pleas-
antly surprised to
see town govern-
ment in action. The recent
Selectmen’s meeting demon-
strated the pure essence of de-
mocracy, of the people, by the
people, and most importantly,
for the people. The gist of this
entire session can best be sum-
marized as follows: Does, or
can, a single individual have
the absolute power to termi-
nate, or not renew a contract,
even if a vast majority of citi-
zens/employees oppose his/
her controversial decision?
As a student of history, it
appears that we should never
forget, ‘Power corrupts … and
absolute power corrupts abso-
lutely.” I watched, often times
in awe, often times amused,
and occasionally in disgust,
as the citizens/elected officials
in the Town of Duxbury pled
their case, with much emo-
tion. People took time out of
their busy schedules, and en-
dured an oppressive heat, to
show their unyielding sup-
port for Chief Mark DeLuca. I
watched as an entire hierarchy
of law enforcement personnel
voiced their support for Chief
DeLuca. I listened to patrol-
men, dispatchers, lieutenants,
and even Police Chiefs from
other towns voice their collec-
tive support. Chief DeLuca’s
cooperation/support with other
law enforcement agencies en-
sures the citizens of Duxbury
an even greater protection via
neighboring towns’ law en-
forcement officers. With to-
day’s current economic catas-
trophe, and an overt increase
in crime due to unemploy-
ment, we could never have,
“too many cops…” protecting
our lives and property.
21
inem attacks by individuals
who revealed their ignorance.
That seemed to have settled
down until, again, the same
person attacked, this time in
the Clipper. That person has
apparently been spoon fed his
“ammunition” and is not afraid
to participate in what I consider
classless acts. I do not believe
either of the attacking people
has served in any volunteer sta-
tus on any Board or Committee
and I am hard pressed to know
how they acquired such misin-
formation. To my knowledge
none of any of the charges of
any of the attacks cited above
have ever been presented to the
Board of Selectmen for their
consideration. This is, after all
why we have an elected gov-
erning board.
In my opinion all our town
officials / employees deserve
more respect and better treat-
ment than the above. It is a
matter of common decency and
is what this fine, well run town
and its people deserve.
Joe Shea
Tremont Street
How very refreshing to ob-
serve Town Selectman Chris
Donato attempt to cut thru the
legalese (translation = long
winded B.S.) and get to the
real issues at hand. This town
has been through so many
police chiefs, it truly makes
me wonder how this can pos-
sibly be occurring? As a citi-
zen of Duxbury for the last 20
years, I personally have seen a
marked increase in the num-
ber of cruisers/officers on pa-
trol. I see police vehicles that
are well maintained, officers
that are well-equipped and
with professional demeanor,
a department that is currently
accredited, and most impor-
tantly, officers proud of their
department, and their current
Chief. How much more proof
does anyone need? This sys-
tem works, period.
I was in awe as Ms. Bonnie
Dyer read a tearful salute and
paid homage to her deceased
husband, as well as voiced her
love and support for the chief
and his staff. Any person with
enough moral fortitude to en-
dure a slain comrade, all the
while demonstrating an exem-
plary precedent of courage to
his fellow officers, speaks vol-
umes about Chief DeLuca. He
has the vision and the back-
ground required to continue
to lead the Duxbury Police
Department to even greater
professional standards. Sorry,
but I for one am not willing
to gamble on a potential new
chief. Not when this chief is so
exemplary and commendable.

songs and Marianne Poreda and her team of volunteers who organized the children and got
the packages ready to ship!

“We always believe we

lieve it’s six in a row,” said the
Duxbury coach after his team
beat St. John’s Prep, 13-12, on
Wednesday night at Harvard
Stadium. “It hasn’t quite sunk
in yet. But it never gets old.
It’s a new group every year,
but no Duxbury group has
ever worked as hard as this
one. They earned it and I’m
extremely proud of them.”
Entering the tournament
in the unfamiliar role of #2
seed, the Dragons met the iron
of the Catholic Conference in
their final three games and put
them all away, establishing
once and for all that the Dux-
bury lacrosse program is one
of the most dominant in the
history of Massachusetts’ high
school sports.
The Dragons had plenty
of incentive to knock off the

Hakeem Lecky. “When we
lost to those guys earlier in the
season it just made us more
ready for this game. We came
together more and started fo-
cusing more on this game.
We came together as a team
and started working harder in
practice by doing all the little
things right. We wanted to see
these guys in the champion-

While the first meeting be-

Duxbury does drama continued from page one

Dragons do it again!
the year’s various productions. These range from massive
musical productions like this year’s “Wizard of Oz” to tightly
constructed one-act plays produced to compete in the annual
series of local, regional and state gatherings known simply as
“States.” This year’s offering, “The Sacrificial King,” went
all the way to the State level in Boston, but not to the New
England level.
Before you can say, “Hey, kids! Let’s put on a show!”
the next one comes along, this year’s “Hotel Paradiso.” Each
episode adds new skills, and frequently new players to the
drama crowd’s growing numbers. Cliques? Ensembles? Cast
chemistry or comfortable grooves? It can be hard to say –
probably both. By the end of the season, the Spring Festival
of Plays offers a last splash of fun and magic. I made it to the
Saturday show just in time to get a front row seat, right in the
middle of the action. Each of the three one-act plays swirls in
my memory.
Oscar Wilde’s “The Importance of Being Earnest” pitted
Jack Worthing (Devin Michelson” against best-friend Algernon
(Ian Spencer) in the most comical “spit take” exchange I’ve
seen in years. I know I lost track of some lines during their
mutual barrage of muffin crumbs, but who cares? The audience
was in stitches. Kathleen Doherty played the role of Cecily to
a T, the sheltered confection and ward of Jack Worthing. Missy

Rough start for Legion baseball
By Mike Halloran Sports Editor
sports@duxburyclipper.com
Legion baseball is back in
town after a one-year hiatus,
and appears to have a solid
team for the 2009 season with
Pembroke’s Ryan Kane man-
aging and General Manager
Peter Bizinkauskas running
the organization.
Post #223 is carrying an
18-man squad with the ma-
jority of the players coming
from Duxbury High School,
and complimented by All-
Stars Danny Findley (Rox-
bury Latin) and Billy Hocking
(BC High). Connor McCarthy
(Pendleton, FL), Richard Up-
son (Marshfield), and Mike
Russell (Marshfield) are the
other non-DHS players on the
roster.
While play was to begin
last Monday night for Post
#223, the MIAA baseball tour-
nament forced the postpone-
ment of the team’s first three
games due to the fact that sev-
eral players from each oppo-
nent were still participating in
the high school play offs.
The rest and last week’s
weather didn’t seem to help
Duxbury, as they lost their
opener on Friday night to Ware-
ham Post 220, 10-0, in a five-
inning slaughter rule decision.
DHS senior-to-be Jeff
Blout got the call in the opener
and didn’t seem to be on his
game, as he surrendered a
Eighth grade athletic department orientation
On Wednesday June 17,
the athletic department will
be holding an orientation for
all current eighth graders and
their parents who may wish to
participate in interscholastic
athletics while attending Dux-
bury High School. The orien-
tation will be held in the DHS
student lounge at 7 p.m. A
“nuts and bolts” overview of
the paperwork, expectations,

first-inning home run to Ryan
Delgado that proved to be the
eventual game winner.
Wildness put Blout in a
hole in the third inning, as two
walks and a double loaded the
bases with no outs. A two-
run single and a sacrifice fly
drove home three more runs
to support the pitching of Ben
Church, who cruised through
the Duxbury lineup by allow-
ing just two hits in five inning.
Duxbury High School’s
Tom Kazanowski relieved
Blout in the top of the fourth
inning and was rudely greeted
by the visitors, who put to-
gether a six-run inning with
a walk, five hits, and a passed
ball to make it 10-0.
Joe Coyne took over for
and other information that is
pertinent for a student-athlete
at Duxbury High School will
be given on that date. There
will be a question and answer
session at the end of the meet-
ing to go over any unresolved
questions concerning your
child’s athletic endeavors at
Duxbury High School. This
introduction meeting is by
no means mandatory, but will

Kazanowski in the top of the
fifth and recorded a strikeout
while holding Wareham in
check, while Church went out
in style, getting the final two
batters to look at third strikes.
“It was good to face a dif-
ferent team with a different
uniform,” said Kane. “We’ve
been playing intra-squad
games the past week and we
were supposed to play three
games against very good op-
ponents that got cancelled. It
was rough, but it was a good
experience for the kids. We’ll
be fine. We’re deep, but we’re
young. It just becomes a matter
of getting the feet wet of our
younger guys and our veterans
showing some leadership.”
The team traveled to Sand-
aide in answering several of
the questions that often come
up when your child is a par-
ticipant in interscholastic ath-
letics.

about the orientation feel free
