ed, you could see a light go on
in his head.”
Shea was the face of the
monument project. With its
completion, Duxbury now
has some kind of memorial to
veterans of all the country’s
major wars. (Shea was a Navy
pilot.)
“I admired his passion,
and the dedication that he had
toward preserving Duxbury
veterans,” Felty said. “That
was just outstanding, you
don’t meet many people that
have such a dedicated heart to
a cause like he did.”
Other members of the
World War I group said they
were devastated to learn of
Shea’s death.
“Joe was a truly dedicated
and enormous part of our lives
and our town,” said Judi Vose,
who served on the committee
along with her husband Terry.
“He had a wonderful nature
that touched all of us who
knew him and we felt his de-
votion to everything he cared
about in this town. Our town
will not be the same – ever.”
Emmett Sheehan, who
worked with Shea on the com-
mittee building a new crema-

ument in 2009. Restoring the monument became a passionate cause

during a walk through the cemetery.
tory at Mayflower Cemetery,
was also impressed with his
dedication to the monument
project and his knowledge of
the town’s cemeteries.
“Joe loved the town,”
Sheehan said. “He knew things
that nobody knew, he poked
through records.”
On the crematory project,
Shea impressed his fellow
committee members with his
military-like attention to de-
tails, collecting information
on the retorts from all across
the country and then sharing it
with the group.
“He spoke to all three com-
panies and knew all the techni-
cal jargon,” Sheehan said. “He
was a very technical guy.”
However, Shea’s impact
on the people he worked with
went far beyond the minute
details of a project.
Sheehan said that Shea
would often stop by his of-
fice to bring him information
on the crematory, but the con-
versation would soon turn to
other things.
“We’d hang out for an hour
and a half just chatting about
life,” Sheehan said.
Shea was also a major pres-
ence at First Parish Church.
Rev. Catherine Cullen said
that he brought his talents for
historical research as well as
woodworking to First Parish.
“You walk down the aisle
and there’s something Joe ei-
ther made or fixed,” she said.
Shea had been a member
of the congregation for over
40 years, and Cullen said he
was a great help when she took
over.
“I used to call him ‘Father
Joe,’ he just knew everybody
in the church,” she said. “He
was an important part of my
ministry.”
She said she would meet
with Shea, who at one time or
another held nearly every lead-
ership position in the church,
weekly.
Shea’s wife, Jacqueline,
passed away only a few weeks
before his death after a long
battle with cancer. He was de-
voted to his wife during her
long illness.

No squid on Chestnut Street
By Joe Shea,
Special to the Clipper
[Joseph Shea, who died
earlier this week, long held
a passion for Duxbury’s his-
tory, especially its cemeter-
ies. He submitted this article
on a curious gravestone in
I
the Chestnut Street graveyard

sWWWGFXLANDSCAPINGCOM
only last week. -Ed.]
n the fall of 2010 a
question arose on
the internet about the
grave stone of the Reverend
Ichabod Wiswall buried in the
Old Burial Ground on Chest-
nut Street. Wiswall was the
third pastor of the Church of
Christ in Duxborough. That
church has evolved into the
current First Parish Church
Unitarian Universalist on
Tremont Street. He served 23
years and died in 1700. Some
people, looking at the stone, it
is in good shape, have deter-
mined that it shows squid or
jelly fish or at least some form
of cephalopod along the out-
side edges. The Duxbury Ru-
ral and Historical Society had
no answers to the phone in-
quiries. Wisall is most widely
remembered as the first min-
ister in British North America
to offer a sermon at grave
side for the deceased. He did
so at the burial “under arms”
of Captain Jonathan Alden in
February 1697. Prior to his
actions, it was felt that one’s
afterlife had been predeter-
mined and thus it was not a
custom to pray over graves.
Who would dare to attempt to
intervene with God? Wiswall
started to break down that no-
tion.
Earlier in Duxbury, he
was fascinated with the arriv-
al of what came to be called
a “Great Comet” that was
visible from early December
1680 until March 1681. It was
the first comet ever found first
by a telescope, but it was so
big and came very close to
earth that no one could miss
it. The tail was estimated as
more than 30,000,000 miles
long. Its arrival struck terror
in the hearts and minds all
over the world which was then

An a cappella group from New York University performs during last year’s concert. Paul Fortini was a
student at NYU when he was killed in a traffic accident.
A cappella night planned
continued from page one
The event was such a success
that it will now be an annual
occurrence and the corner-
stone fundraiser for the Paul
S. Fortini Foundation.
“It was fantastic,” said
Paul’s mom, Kathy Fortini. “I
was truly amazed ... there was
so much energy.”
Paul was in the PACMen,
an a cappella group at Dux-
bury High School. (He tried
out for the NYU group as a
freshman but didn’t make it,
according to his mom.) An ac-
complished trumpet player, he
was involved in music as well
as the drama club.
Ken and Kathy Fortini
started the foundation short-
ly after Paul was struck and
killed by a car on a street in
New York City in September
of 2008. The intention of the
foundation is to help out the
high school drama and mu-
sic departments by donating
things that wouldn’t be able
to be purchased through the
regular budget process. Kathy
Fortini said she’s envision-
ing the foundation like a fine
arts compliment to the Dux-
bury Education Foundation,
responding with grants to
specific requests. The money
raised from the first concert
helped buy the music depart-
ment a new piano.
The first concert featured
performances by the PAC-
Men, as well as a cappella
groups from NYU, Skidmore
College, Northeastern Uni-
versity and Trinity College.
Except for NYU, all of the
groups had one member who

knew Paul personally.
Brooke Teittinen is a
member of the Trinity a cap-
pella group. She’s been sing-
ing her whole life, and was in
musicals with Paul at DHS.
“I would be the girl walk-
ing around the grocery store
singing to myself,” she said.
Her group participated in
an a cappella jam in Brattle-
boro, Vt., and she wondered if
a similar concert would work
in Duxbury.
“Since the beginning I’ve
been excited about this and
wanted to be involved,” she
said. Although she was ner-
vous about the turnout in the
first year, she was happy with
the eventual result.
“I was just hoping people
would come,” she said. “We
were all just overwhelmed by
the support ... I’m even more
excited this year.”
Teittinen said she wanted
to be a part of the fundraiser
because her friendship with
Paul Fortini was based on
their mutual love of music.
“Paul and I were friends
since we were little,” she said.
“Everything we did was music
or drama related ... the connec-
tion and friendship Paul and I
had was through music.”
She’s hopeful that the
concert will expand this year

ple who knew Paul, includ-
ing other people surrounding
communities.
“So people that may not
have known Paul can come get
a piece of why he was so im-
portant,” Teittinen said. “I’m
just really excited. I think it’s
going to be a fantastic event.”
Groups from Boston Col-
lege, Suffolk University,
Tufts, and Trinity will be per-
forming in this year’s concert,
in addition to a professional a
cappella group from Boston,
Firedrill.
“They contacted us,” said
Kathy Fortini. “They heard
about what we were doing.”
The foundation will help
the drama department in the
spring by sponsoring master
classes. DHS students and
faculty will attend the class-
es, and then the students will
bring the knowledge they ac-
quire to the middle school.
“We hope it continues for
a long time,” Kathy Fortini
said of the concert.

The Sinister Minister set for Feb. 6

The Duxbury Free Library and Westwinds Bookshop are
pleased to present mystery author Judith Campbell on Feb. 6 at 2
p.m. in the library’s Merry Room. Discussing her first novel, “A
Deadly Mission,” this self described “sinister minister” will share
her writing journey and her penchant for mystery, suspense and the
sanctity of the religious profession. Campbell is an ordained min-
ister in the Unitarian Universalist faith, and the book does address
sensitive issues of religious hypocrisy and cults. After a series of
murders, the protagonist of the novel, a reverend and professor at
a small women’s college, begins to suspect a local religious orga-
nization of cult-like behavior. Campbell is also known for her wit
and humor, and her engaging presentations. This program is sure hosted at
to be fun for readers of the mystery genre and beyond. For free The Art Complex Museum

Changes at the Marketplace
Octavia’s closes, Westwinds seeks new ownership
By Justin Graeber, Clipper Editor
justin@duxburyclipper.com
One store has left the Mar-
ketplace at Hall’s Corner, and
another is looking for new
ownership, as local Duxbury
merchants work to keep cus-
tomers in a tough economy.
Octavia’s, which sold gift
items, has shuttered its doors
and cleaned out its store.
“That was just a hard loss,”
said Derek Cavanaugh of Hart
Street Associates, the market-
place’s landlord. “I loved the
two of them [the women who
ran Octavia’s.] They just got
hit by what is very common
throughout the country right
now ... economic pressures
and unemployment.”
Cavanaugh said that stores
that sell housewares have tak-
en longer to bounce back after
the recession than other kinds
of businesses.
Only a few storefronts
away, Westwinds Bookshop is
looking for new ownership, a
move not so much motivated
by economic factors but by
other obligations.
Christopher Haraden, who
owned the bookstore with his
wife Marilyn, said that the
couple has been thinking about
selling the store for a while.
Christopher Haraden recently
changed jobs and doesn’t have
the time he used to have to
back up his wife, who is the
bookshop’s main manager.
“I don’t have the time that
I used to have to be the back-
stop for Marilyn,” he said.
“We have decided that we
can’t continue ourselves ... We
just don’t have the time that
it’s going to take to devote to
the business.”
The Haradens bought the
store in April of 2005.
“It’s been great,” Haraden
said. “The people of Duxbury
were very welcoming to us
and were supportive.”
He said that the commu-
nity’s connections remain
strong. The shop partners with
the Duxbury Free Library to
bring in authors, and a recent
event drew about 100 people.
Democratic Town
Committee to
caucus Feb. 12
Duxbury Democratic
Town Committee will hold
its annual Caucus on Sat-
urday, Feb. 12 at 10 a.m. at
the Duxbury Free Library,
77 Alden St., on the lower
level.
The purpose of the meet-
ing is to elect delegates to
the 2011 Mass. Democratic
Convention to be held on
June 4 in Lowell.
The caucus is open to
all registered Democrats in
the Town of Duxbury. For
caucus information please
contact Chairman David
O’Connell at 781-934-0994
Octavia’s has left the Hall’s Corner marketplace. The marketplace’s
landlord says that some other types of businesses have rebounded
better than housewares in this economy.
“That’s always been the
strength of the bookshop,”
Haraden said. “There’s still a
lot of support ... We’re hop-
ing someone will see the value
that we saw.”
He said he and his wife
would prefer to handoff the
business to someone else so
that Westwinds keeps go-
ing, but if there are no takers
they may have to simply shut
down.
“It’s a real possibility,” he
said.
Octavia’s and Westwinds
are dealing with the same is-
sues facing many local busi-
nesses in Duxbury –– pressure
from larger chains in places
like Hingham and Plymouth,
and customers with less and
less spending money.
In addition, Cavanaugh
said that sometimes resi-
dents will give lip service to
supporting local businesses
without actually walking in
the door and spending. Hart
Street owns a similar complex
in Beverly, and when a store
there was clearing inventory, a
woman walked in the door and
said, “You can’t close, you’re
my favorite store!” Yet the
business owner hadn’t seen
the woman in five years.
“It’s interesting what has
worked,” Cavanaugh said. He
pointed to a business like De-
pot Street Market. The owner
of that business opened with
an entirely different business
plan, but shifted focus quickly
once she saw it wasn’t work-
ing. It’s since become a suc-
cessful take-and-bake outfit.
On the other hand are busi-
nesses like the Studio, which
hasn’t changed much in the

four areas:
1. Heating, ventilating, and
air conditioning (HV&AC)
2.Electrical
3. Roof
4. Renovation
To rectify the above prob-
lems, the first step is to write
definitive specifications for
each area, describing what is
to be replaced, repaired or up-
dated and with what kinds of
materials and/or equipment.
The second step would be
to establish a qualified contrac-
tor for each area to perform the
specified work within a pre-
established schedule.
The existing HV&AC sys-
tem can be replaced and a new
and highly efficient system
can be installed by a qualified
contractor during the summer
recess without any class dis-
ruption, provided that all the
procurement procedures are
completed prior to summer.
The new and efficient
HV&AC system should pay
back the total cost in about
eight to ten years.
Parallel to the HV&AC in-
stallation, the existing electrical
system can be updated and en-
hanced, meeting the established
codes and school requirements.
This work should be done dur-
ing the summer months by a
qualified electrical contractor,
with minimum disruption to the
ongoing summer school activi-
ties.
Depending on the type and
installation, the life of a roof is
about 20 to 25 years. Assum-
ing the schools’ roofs fall with-
in this range and/or beyond any
horrific. I realize that these ac-
cidents may have been news
worthy at the time but I do
not think that they needed to
be revisited. If I were the par-
ent, relative or friend of that

Restoring the monument

from the cemeteries to First
Parish Church, where he
was a member for over 40
years. He had a passion for
this town and was one of its
most tireless champions. He
will be sorely, sorely missed
by all.

reasonable repair, they should
be replaced. The removal of
the old and the installation of
the new roof systems by a qual-
ified roofing contractor should
also be done during the sum-
mer months.
Once HV&AC, electrical
and roofing systems are re-
placed and updated, most of the
existing problems should not
take place in the future, under
proper and continuous mainte-
nance.
Renovation, which includes
non-structural defects such as
stained ceiling tiles, missing
chairs, painting, etc. should be
prioritized and performed on an
ongoing basis.
With anticipation that the
HV&AC system will have an
eight to 10 year cost pay back,
the cost of rectifying the re-
maining problems can be ex-
pected to cost a fraction of the
$135 million amount proposed
by the School Building Com-
mittee. The submitted proposal
is neither justified in scope nor
in cost.
No major building proj-
ect is ever completed on time,
within budget, or with the same
staff that started it, and ours
won’t be the first.
For example, the city of
Newton, with a population of
100,000 people, started its own
construction of a new high
school with an estimate of $130
million. When completed last
year, the building cost $200
million.

A new skating rink at Alden? ———————
W
e are lucky here
in Duxbury to
have The Bog so
close by on the Kingston line,
and the outdoor benefits our
many cranberry bogs provide –
all places where we can skate
our winter blues away. Howev-
er, what many of us don’t real-
ize, and what I’ve only come to
learn in the last couple of years,
is that we have a fabulous in-
door skating location right here
in town – and that would be at
the Alden School gym!
For the last two years I’ve
coached boys’ basketball at
Alden, and I’ve seen a differ-
ent type of winter game played
there just about every day, one
where not even the child with
the brand new sneakers and the
very best balance can stop when
he or she needs to. Playing on
the floors at Alden is truly like
skating on ice. Students simply
have no ability to run and then
either stop or turn, or even to
simply pivot in place!
Clearly, the Alden gym

tained even in a building not
Duxbury should learn from Newton ————
D
uxbury can learn
a lot about school
building and other
town infrastructure needs from
the Newton experience. After
Newton’s mayor at the time,
David Cohen, hired an archi-
tect, Graham Gund, to design
the new Newton North High
School, the firm Dore and
Whittier Architects took the
lead for the construction docu-
ments and construction admin-
istration phases. There was no
initial budget set and the costs
continued to skyrocket. That
building ended up with a final
price tag of $197.5 million af-
ter starting with a much smaller
original estimate. The spend-
ing created strife in the town,
raised taxes, and led to the
mayor not seeking re-election.
Newton recently had to cut $1
million from its town budget to
balance the books.
The Duxbury School Com-
mittee has hired Dore and Whit-
tier for a new school feasibil-
ity study, the same firm which
took the lead for the construc-
tion documents and construc-
tion administration phases of
the Newton North High School
debacle. In an article online
entitled “Dollars don’t mea-
sure new Newton North High
School’s full cost,” the long,
sad tale of the too expensive
final building is told. The les-
son from the tale from Newton
residents is to have the town
working with citizens set an
initial budget of what taxpayers
are willing to spend on a new
school, (and a new police sta-
tion, an upgraded fire station),
etc. Presenting expensive pro-
posals at Town Meeting leads
to rejection and no movement
on necessary building repair.
Current proposals for

preserving along with using. I’m especially proud of a hoe

and a rake, each forged by a blacksmith from a single piece of
steel. The hoe is especially graceful looking, and wouldn’t you
know, the easiest to use in the garden. The angle is perfect, and
it’s as light as a feather.
But the biggest changes for me are the single stream
recycling and the pre-paid blue bags for the trash that really
can’t find another use. I understood the concept (which helps),
and I’ve got the system down pat. I’m driving my family crazy,
but that’s nothing new.
“Halt!” I bellow. “That goes in the composting bin! The
purple one!”
I’ve always kept a compost pile out back. Now I have a
compost bin in the kitchen, and I’m on the list at Town Hall
to buy a big outdoor bin when they order the next set. Coffee
grounds and filters, paper towels, you’d be surprised what can
be composted instead of being thrown in the Pit. Of course, all
my vegetable kitchen wastes go in my purple bin.
But here’s a surprise: Americans and Europeans have
grown so accustomed to cheap food that they discard as
much as 25 percent of the food they buy. I heard it on NPR,
and knew it was true. Stale chips, forgotten veggies in the
refrigerator, coffee dumped out to make room for a fresh pot.
It’s stunning. Half a plate of food gets swept into the trash
because someone couldn’t finish a second helping. Leftover
corn gets tucked in the refrigerator, only to be tossed later
because no one feels like having it before it goes bad.
Our old ideas of economy – buy the huge bag for a cost-
per-pound saving – may be out of date. Huge bags boost waste,
yet drive up the global demand for such staples as wheat or
potatoes. My parents’ old admonition that I should consider
how starving children in Korea would love to finish the beans I
was wasting now turns out to be true. Food today is bought and
sold on a global scale and my wasting stale chips or bread (by
buying too much) actually does drive up the price world-wide.
But eventually some things have to go into the blue bag.
When they do, they’re in for it. Those bags are tough, and I can
mash a lot of trash into a very small space. Then it’s off to the
Mall – the Duxbury Mall, of course. I need a new puppy rug!

Weather has little effect on Lady Dragons
By Mike Halloran, Sports Editor
sports@duxburyclipper.com
The momentum that the
Duxbury girls’ hockey team
developed after big wins over
Wellesley and Martha’s Vine-
yard seems to keep building,
as evidenced by Saturday’s
11-1 trouncing of the Scituate
Sailors at The Bog.

Having demolished the
Sailors (12-1) in their first
meeting of the year, it was safe
to assume the Lady Dragons
wouldn’t be challenged much
by the second-year program
that came into the game with
a 1-9 record.
It took just 29 seconds for
Duxbury to get on the board,
as SEMGHL scoring leader
Hannah Murphy was sent in
alone on passes by Lily Con-
nolly and Martha Findley and
beat Scituate goaltender Han-
nah Clougherty for a 1-0 lead.

Despite dominating play
throughout the evening, Dux-
bury had to rely on junior Will
Siefert’s goal with 1:14 to go
in the game for a 4-3 win over
the Guardians that brings Dux-
bury’s record to 4-4-5.
The Dragons looked to
be in control after first period
goals by Siefert and senior
captain Nick Buonvicino gave
them a 2-0 lead. But a goal

it 2-1 after the first period of

going in alone on Clougherty
and beating her to the top left
corner for a 2-1 lead.
It didn’t take long for Dux-
bury to go ahead 3-0, as fresh-
man Zoe Griffin needed just
23 seconds to beat Clougherty,
stuffing the puck between the
netminder and the post with
8:47 remaining in the first pe-

The period would come to
a merciless end with Murphy

to reverse play in the final two

Wrestlers shine at team tournament
By Wendy Generoux
Clipper Contributor
The Duxbury wrestling
team has a history of strong
performances at their own tour-
nament. But with only one win
in dual meets this season, this
year’s squad could have been
the exception at the eight-team
tournament held at Duxbury
High School on Saturday.
With two starters return-
ing to the lineup and some
key pins, Duxbury pulled off
a huge 39-34 win over Dur-
fee in the first round, and then
won convincingly (45-24) over
a tough Plymouth North team
to advance to the finals, where
they lost a close one to New
Bedford.
The first match of the morn-
ing began at heavyweight with
Durfee senior captain Dave
Medeiros facing off against
Duxbury sophomore Owen
Grey. Grey circled for much
of the first period, not wanting
to tie-up and waiting to make
his move. It came halfway
through the period in the form
of a throw, giving him a 2-0
lead. However, Grey’s lead
was short-lived, as Medeiros
quickly tied the match up with
a reversal, and later mounted
a 6-0 run before pinning the
underclassman in the second
period.
Next up for the Dragons
was sophomore Nick Kates,
who faced off against Durfee
junior captain and No. 5-ranked
Eric Beneviedes in the 103 lbs.
contest. Kates held his own in
the first period after giving up
the first takedown. However,
Beneviedes extended his lead
in the second period with a tilt
and three back points, giving
him a 5-0 lead heading into the
third. With Kates on top, the
junior captain earned a 2-point
reversal, and three more back
points en route to a 10-0 major
decision, and four more points
for the visitors.
With no contest at 112,
Duxbury got their first points
of the match at 119 when ju-
nior Brendan Gillis returned
to the mat for the first time in
three weeks and went unop-
posed, giving the Dragons six
points.
With the score 10-6 in fa-
vor of Durfee, Hilltopper soph-
omore Adam Pereira gave his
team an unexpected boost when
he took the mat in the 125 lbs.
weight class, and caught fresh-
man Jim Chappuis in a cradle
after a first-period takedown
for the win and the pin.
Now up 16-6, Durfee was
seemingly in good shape to add
to their lead with senior captain
Jacob Martin taking the mat
against Duxbury sophomore
Jake Genereux in the 130 lbs.
match-up. Genereux got the
first takedown for an early 2-0
lead, but after a short break for
blood, Martin tied the match
at 2-2. Genereux quickly re-
versed the senior captain, and
took a 4-2 lead heading into the
second period. Down by two,
Martin chose bottom, but Ge-
nereux proved to be too tough
on top, mounting a 7-2 lead be-

Climbing the
Career Ladder
Reporter
Clipper Press is looking for a
full time news reporter for our
small but hardworking staff.
This position requires strong
writing and reporting skills and
a passion for community
journalism. Must be able to
report on the stories that need
covering and uncover the
stories that need telling – all
under the pressure of
deadlines.
Reporter will cover a range of
town government fare,
including the school board,
selectmen, ZBA and police
news, but also be encouraged
to seek stories outside the box.
The job title says reporter but
the right candidate must also
be somewhat of a Jack-or-Jill-
of-all-trades. Position includes
some responsibilities for copy
editing, photography and
layout. Person does not need
to be an expert, but should be
comfortable with computers
(Macs, a plus) the Internet and
certainly AP style. Familiarity
with Adobe InDesign is also a
plus.
This is not an entry-level
position per se, though we will
consider applicants with strong
college newspaper experience
and journalism degrees or
significant internship
experience
If you are not from the South
Shore area please indicate how
quickly you would be able to
relocate and how you would be
available for an interview. We
prefer candidates who live
close to our South Shore based
office. Please include salary
requirements with your resume
and clips.
If you are a hardworking
journalist who wants to learn
the newspaper business this
could be the perfect position
for you.
Clipper Press is an independent
family-owned newspaper
company that's been delivering
hometown news since 1950.
We offer a good salary and
benefits package including IRA
with match, profit sharing.
Please send clips, resume and
salary requirements to
