Asked to stop ‘vendetta’ or resign,
Selectman sticks to his guns
By Susanna Sheehan, Clipper Staff
susanna@duxburyclipper.com
The discord stirred up over
the weekend by Selectman
Chris Donato’s allegations
against Town Manager Rich-
ard MacDonald spilled over
into the selectmen’s meeting
Monday, as Donato defended
his position while residents
urged him to act civilly and
stop his “personal vendetta”
against the town manager or
resign.

Non-denominational retreat center
on Standish Shore gets a facelift

It’s easy to miss the Ce-
dar Hill Retreat Center. Only
a wooden sign is visible from
the road, off Standish Street in
the Standish Shore neighbor-
hood.
But that’s just the atmo-
sphere the center is looking
for –– a quiet, secluded place
where people can go to re-
charge their spiritual batteries.

Pool
work
begins
Building to open
next spring
By Justin Graeber, Clipper Editor
justin@duxburyclipper.com
After several twists and
turns, officials finally broke
ground on the renovation
project at the Percy Walker
Pool last week.
The renovation project was
approved by voters at Town
Meeting in March. Friends of
the Pool Chairwoman Kathy
Coghlan said she’s been push-
ing for the work on the pool
since 2006, when $15,000
was approved for a study.
“We’ve been trying to do
this thing in baby steps,” she
said.
Recreation Director Gor-
don Cushing said that the de-
molition began in September
and will be wrapping up this
week. Then, several trade
workers will come in to begin
working on the various sys-
tems at the pool, with the goal
of having the facility up and
running by March or April.
“We’re moving full speed
ahead,” he said.
Renovations to the 33-
year old building, given to the
town in 1976 by anonymous
donors, will include new in-
terior and exterior lighting,
new state-of-the-art heating
and cooling systems, new me-
chanical systems for the pool
and building, new plumbing
fixtures, a new men’s locker

Chief search committee formed
By Susanna Sheehan, Clipper Staff
susanna@duxburyclipper.com
Town Manager Richard
MacDonald announced that he
plans to name a professional po-
lice chief search firm later this
week to find Duxbury’s next
chief of police.
When reached Tuesday,
MacDonald said he had spoken
to three companies that spe-
cialize in searching for police
chiefs and was poised to make
a decision after speaking to one
more. All companies are based
in Massachusetts.
He also said he plans to as-
semble a seven-member citi-
zens committee to work with
the company during the search.
Spiritual Film
Festival
On Saturday, Oct. 31, from
10 a.m. to 3 p.m., Miramar Re-
treat Center will present a Spir-
itual Film Festival which will
relate the creative process and
religious imagination. Mean-
ingful short independent films
from across the world that en-
courage us to be explorers in
our own spiritual journeys will
be examined. The cost for the
day is $35 and includes lunch
and popcorn. To register, call
Miramar at 781-585-2460.
One member of the Board of
Selectmen will be on this com-
mittee, he said.
“They will be under the di-
rection of the firm and will rep-
resent the citizens of Duxbury,”
MacDonald said.
He hopes to name the com-
mittee by the end of next week,
he said, adding that a few resi-
dents have already approached
him about serving.
The point of having both a
company and citizens’ group in-
volved in the search is for pro-
fessionalism, MacDonald said.
“I want the next police chief
to be a professionally, consen-
sus-chosen person,” he said.
MacDonald said the search

Even in its first issue, Gourmet set the bar high; articles (across from Tsang's) We Deliver!
included “Gastronomie Sans d’Argent,” whose title haughtily

the mouth watering photos and the spectacular recipes that
pushed a home cook to strive for something extra. Unlike its
counterparts, Gourmet never stopped asking its readers to try a
little harder in the kitchen; its recipes never danced on the Food

FALL BACK…or SPRING FORWARD?

Leaves are turning and so is the market…NOW may be the opportune
time to make your next move!

Wacky Wednesdays have been a big hit in October. Chef Joyce gave
all members a sweet surprise last week with a custom decorated
candy apple. Pictured are DMS members armed with apples and
ready to dip!
T his is the time of year when we reset our clocks, locate our winter items, turn on
our heat, and rediscover our fireplaces. Since there are typically fewer active buy-
ers during the holiday season, we occasionally see houses taken off the market and then
re-listed in spring. However, this is not a typical year, a typical market, or a typical fall
season…and it may make sense to put your home on the market now rather than wait
for spring.

succeeded in motivating many first time homebuyers to purchase properties with
an 8K “cash-back” tax incentive. Unless extended, this program is winding down on
November 30, 2009. It is quite likely that some number of sellers will now be in the
position of upsizing, and with interest rates being so low and inventory scarce, it may
make a great deal of sense for your home to be on the market now, and at a time when
competition is also waning. If you do succeed in selling over the next few months you
can then also take advantage of low prices and interest rates on the buying end. If you
are otherwise planning on waiting until spring, other than for wishful thinking, it would
be hard for anyone to definitively predict right now what kind of market a seller will

Statement from the
Town Manager
[The following is the
statement Town Manger
Richard MacDonald read at
Monday night’s Board of Se-

I have been criticized for
remaining silent about the
reasons behind some recent
decisions that I have had to
make. I have done this to pro-
tect the community from the
mud-slinging that can occur
when personnel matters be-

Every-
body in this
room, elected

has a respon-

look out for
the well-being of the residents
of this community. Negative
attacking statements made
to the press, and in public
forums, are harmful to our
citizens. I have avoided mak-
ing these kinds of statements,
and will continue to do so.
In my efforts to manage

massacre took place. 
Perhaps most revealing
of all is that  in April 2007,
this  self-proclaimed  advocate
for  non-violent resistance  de-
clared, “The third intifada [a
violent uprising by the Pales-
tinians] will come...If the third
will be a fourth. And then a fifth.
As many as it takes, until justice
is served.” On January 2, 2009,
she again showed her sympathy
for a violent approach, includ-
ing terrorism, when she said:
“There is no reason for Pales-
tinians -- or us -- to believe that
an end to rocket attacks and
suicide bombs would bring real
change to Israel’s occupation
since neither has in the past.”
Why a group  named
the Committee for Middle East
Peace would invite such a de-
ceptive advocate is perplex-
ing. Ms. Baltzer’s decidedly

the skills and knowledge of
many people with the same
vision of where Duxbury
should be and how it can get
there. In this design, there is
no room for egos and person-
al agendas, only community
success.
Duxbury has always been
considered one of the premier
communities in the Com-
monwealth in which to live.
The discord that has been
publicly introduced in recent
months has the potential of
affecting that desirability.
Another effect of the nega-
tive atmosphere has been to
make it more difficult for
town employees to accom-
plish their work on behalf of
Duxbury residents. I am also
concerned about the town’s
ability to attract quality em-
ployees in the future, if the
discord does not immediately
cease.
Before we continue down
a negative course that can af-
fect real estate values, town
services, and the quality of
our leadership, I urge every-
one to re-focus their efforts
on the real business of Dux-
bury. We have a lot of work
to do in dealing with next
year’s budget and the day-
to-day running of the town.
Let’s start now.
Duxbury Clipper
Selectman questions town
manager via e-mails
In a series of e-mails sent Sunday morn-
ing to town officials and the media, Duxbury
Selectman Chris Donato charged Town Man-
ager Richard MacDonald with violating provi-
sions of the town manager act and state law.
The unedited e-mails are reprinted below.
Subject: Police Personnel Files
Richard, I have been informed that you
directed certain individuals to remove the
Police Department Personnel Files from the
Police Station and had the files delivered to
you in the Town Manager’s office. As you
must be aware, these files may contain sen-
sitive information such as medical records,
psychological evaluations, and Criminal Of-
fender Record Information (CORI) provid-
ed by the Massachusetts Criminal History
Systems Board and the Federal Bureau of
Investigation (FBI). If you, your staff, and
whoever else may have come in contact with
these files are not CORI certified, you are in
violation of the Massachusetts CORI laws. In
addition, you may be in violation of federal
law as I’m sure the federal government and
the FBI have similar requirements to protect
the privacy rights of the individuals whose
personnel files you possess.
I you, your staff, and whoever else came
in contact with these files are not CORI certi-
fied, your behavior is reckless and will cer-
tainly put the Town at risk for more litiga-
tion. I am sure that the Police Unions are
not happy with your decision. Do you know
if the Policies and Procedures of the Duxbury
Police Department require the Police Chief to
secure these files? If so, you violated the
Policies and Procedures of the Police Depart-
ment and may put the Town at risk of losing
its accreditation status from the Massachu-
setts Police Accreditation Commission.
What benefit could you gain from remov-
ing the Personnel files from their secured lo-
cation at the Police Station and having them
delivered to your office?
On several occasions, you have placed
letters of discipline in the files of Town em-
ployees without ever presenting those let-
ters to the employees in direct violation of
the Personnel Plan. When you placed secret
letters of discipline in employees’ files with-
out their knowledge, you intentionally cir-
cumvented these employees’ rights to avail
themselves to the grievance procedure set
forth in the Personnel Plan. Under the Town
Manager’s Act, you are responsible for the
administration of the Personnel Plan. Your
prior behavior violated your responsibilities
under the Town Manager’s Act. Are you go-
ing down this road again?
Chris Donato
Duxbury Board of Selectmen
Subject: Absence from October 14, 2009
Meeting of the Board of Selectmen
Richard, As you were informed, the
Board of Selectmen conducted a meeting
on Wednesday, October 14, 2009, at 8 am.
You were not present at the meeting. Sec-
tion 3.C.10 of the Town Manager’s Act states
“The town manager shall attend all meetings
of the board of selectmen and all town meet-
ings and shall be permitted to speak when
recognized by the moderator.” Where were
you and why did you fail to attend the meet-
ing of the Board of Selectmen in violation of
the Town Manager’s Act?
Chris Donato
Duxbury Board of Selectmen

Subject: Investigation and Hiring Spe-
cial Counsel
Richard, I have been informed by Town
Counsel that over the weekend of October
3rd and 4th of 2009, you initiated and con-
ducted an investigation of a Town employee.
Town Counsel further informed me that you
hired a Special Counsel to administer oaths
and take testimony of certain unnamed indi-
viduals as part of this investigation.
Pursuant to Section 2.H of the Town
Manager’s Act, “The Board of Selectmen
may make investigations and may authorize
the town manager or other agents to investi-
gate the affairs of the town and the conduct
of any department, office, or agency, includ-
ing any doubtful claims against the town,
and for this purpose the Board of Selectmen
may subpoena witnesses, administer oaths,
take testimony, and require the production of
evidence. The report of any such investiga-
tion shall be placed on file in the office of the
town clerk, and a report summarizing such
investigation shall be printed in the next an-
nual town report.”
Section 3.C.9 of the Town Manager’s Act
provides that “The town manager shall ad-
vise the selectmen of all matters requiring
action by them or the town.”
Section 4.7 of the Town By-Laws states
in part that the Town Manager “may employ
counsel or special counsel when authorized
by the Selectmen.”
You did not inform the Board of Select-
men that you felt it necessary to conduct an
investigation of a Town employee, an act re-
quiring the authorization of the Board of Se-
lectmen, in violation of the Town Manager’s
Act. You were not authorized by the Board
of Selectmen to conduct an investigation of
a Town employee, in further violation of the
Town Manager’s Act. Moreover, you were
not authorized by the Board of Selectmen
to hire a special counsel to administer oaths
and take testimony of certain unnamed indi-
viduals as part of this investigation, in direct
violation of the Town By-Laws.
How much did this unauthorized inves-
tigation cost? How much did the special
counsel cost? How are you going to pay for
these expenses when they were not autho-
rized by the Town?
Is the report of the investigation on file
with the Office of the Town Clerk yet, as re-
quired by the Town Manager’s Act? If not,
when will it become available? Is a report
summarizing such investigation going to be
printed in the next annual town report as re-
quired by the Town Manager’s Act?
I would appreciate a prompt response to
these questions as the investigation occurred
more than two weeks ago and I would like to
see the report of the investigation including
any and all statements made by the unnamed
individuals.
I must say that the timing of your unau-
thorized investigation appears to me to have
been a flagrant attempt to coerce the Police
Chief into taking the $240,000 buyout.

Although the town

executive session more
than two weeks ago, the
agreement remains un-

On Oct. 12, mem-

Selectmen were over-

when personnel matters be-

said. “Everybody in this room,
elected or appointed, has a re-
sponsibility to look out for the
well-being of the residents of
this community. Negative at-
tacking statements made to
the press, and in public fo-
rums, are harmful to our citi-
zens. I have avoided making
these kinds of statements and
will continue to do so.” (To
read the full statement, see
page 23.)
Audience members ap-
plauded MacDonald when
he finished, and a few more
spoke out against Donato.
“One of the most blatant
things I’ve heard is Mr. Do-
nato’s claim that he came in
with a fair and balanced view
of the issue,” said John Brit-
ten of Upland Road. “Mr.
Donato clearly ran for one
purpose and that was to pro-
tect his wife’s boss’s job and
to try to oust the manager who
was doing his job. For him to
now say why did we pay his
friend $240,000, he’s done a
disservice not just to the town
but to Chief DeLuca. We were
trying to end this and give him
some nice severance. Because
I don’t know what Mr. Do-
nato’s litigation will lead to,
I strongly recommend that we
don’t pay any money to chief
DeLuca until we get a better
handle on how much Mr. Do-
nato’s litigation will cost the
town.”
Donato asked why Britten
called it “his” litigation.
Britten responded: “You
are the one who keeps threat-
ening, in your e-mails you’re
talking about going to the state
and to the federal (authorities),
you’re talking about transgres-
sions the town manager may
have made, and your support-
ers have threatened litigation
from day one. Are you ready
to drop this issue now?”

Historical letter reading at the Wright Building

The Duxbury Rural and
Historical Society invites all
to the next installment of their
historical letter readings at the
Drew Archival Library in the
Wright Building. The event
will take place Thursday, Oct.
22 at 7 p.m. in the Hoyt Read-
ing Room.
The program “An Evening
in the South Seas with the
Delanos,” will feature letters
from the Historical Society’s
Captains Amasa and Samuel
Delano, Jr. Collection. The
Delano brothers of Duxbury
circumnavigated the globe in
the early 19th century while on
sealing expeditions. Their let-
ters describe the uncertainty of
a mariner’s life as well as dem-
onstrate the religious fervor
that swept the country during
the Second Great Awakening.
Volunteers will read selected
letters from Capt. Amasa Del-
ano along with excerpts from
his book published in 1817,
A Narrative of Voyages and
Travels in the Northern and
Southern Hemispheres. Other
readings will include letters
from Amasa’s younger broth-
er, Captain Samuel Delano, Jr.,
and his family.
Mark your calendars for
the evening of the Oct. 22, and
come to hear pieces of history
come to life. The Drew Ar-
chives is located in the Wright
Building, at 147 St. George
Street. The event is free of
charge. Those with question
about the event may contact
the Duxbury Rural and Histor-
ical Society at 781-934-6106.
DHS drama winnners
continued from page one
show and during the awards. She couldn’t have been happier,
and agreed that she already has a place picked out for her trophy.
Michelle Kazanoski won the D.C. for her portrayal of
Helena in the junior class offering, “All I Really Need to Know I
Learned in Kindergarten.” Michelle’s part was saucy and pivotal
in the sequence of many of “Kindergarten’s” vignettes, and the
play as a whole won this year’s tournament prize for the Junior
Class as the best performance of the night. Fully an ensemble
piece, directed by Darin MacFarlane and Student Director Missy
Hibbard, the work is haunting, hilarious and deeply moving. The
contest is won by the students’ performances, not the play, but
this one is wonderful, multi-layered and rich. The cast members
all stood out like a necklace of stars, always connecting with
each other, always energizing each other.
The freshman class offering, the surreal “This Is A Test,”
directed by Pat Weatherlow and Student Director Emily Merlin,

portrays the agonies of a high school student taking a wildly
unpredictable Social Studies exam. Ian McCourt won the D.C.
for his snappy performance on stage, coupled with his off-stage
collaboration with Nathan Files to produce the slide show that
accompanies the performance. The show itself is witty and
quick, with a mind-bending cadence provided by the stylized
Chorus, performed flawlessly by Alenni Davis, Cassie Cushing,
and Madi Tower.
Tom Blanchard carried off brilliantly the demanding role
of Alan, the boy who studied so hard he only knew two things:
1066, and Edison’s middle name (which wasn’t on the test). Tom
was engaging, hilarious, and full of energy, and able to capture
the comic hopelessness of a student facing questions like, “True
or False: Athens.”
One of the evening’s scenes stayed especially with me.
In “Kindergarten,” a vignette led by Abby Dobbins offers an
alternative to hide-and-seek, where someone always seems to
be unfound at the end, too good at hiding, and too far out of
the loop to know that the game is over. The alternative – called
Sardines – begins with only one player hiding. After hiding their
eyes, all the other players then fan out to find the hider. As the
seekers succeed, one-by one, they silently join the hider in the
hiding place, gradually forming a critical giggle-mass of children
packed together, impossible for anyone to miss.
“Sardines,” Abby says. “Everyone is found, and no one is
lost.”
It’s my favorite thing about high school drama, and I see
it here in Duxbury more than ever. I see it in the pats on the
back, and in the “nova stars” embracing the most bashful, but
twinkling “little stars.” Everyone is found.

Murphy sparks Dragons
By Mike Halloran, Sports Editor,

It’s been awhile since se-

saw any meaningful playing
time, and once he did, he made
the most of it.

North Quincy 6
Taking a handoff from ju-
nior QB Kane Haffey, the se-
nior running back showed the
speed that has made him one of
the fastest athletes in the Patri-
ot League, as he broke through
the line and cut left, out-racing
the North Quincy secondary on
a 41-yard TD run that sparked
Duxbury to a 21-6 victory over
the Red Raiders.
It took Murphy just 23
seconds to get his team on the
scoreboard and with junior
Ben Startzell adding the extra
point, the Dragons were quick-
ly ahead 7-0.
“It was nice to have Bob-
by back in there,” said Coach
Dave Maimaron. “He broke
that first one and a couple of
other big first downs.”
While the quick score
seemed to have the Duxbury
crowd expecting a blowout, it
didn’t seem to faze NQ Coach
Ken McPhee’s team, as it
mounted a 12-play drive from
the Duxbury 49-yard line and
ended when QB Mike Stanton
took it in from a yard out with
4:34 left in the quarter. The PAT
was wide left and the Dragons
escaped with one-point lead.
It appeared the crowd was

fense, but in the end it was the

pars) turned in cards with 41.
Hingham’s Rick Darst led
the Harbormen with a bird and
five pars in his round of 38.
The previous day the
Dragons earned a 24-stroke
win over North Quincy, 245-
269. It was much easier this
time around for Duxbury on its
own home course, as they had
narrowly edged the Red Raid-
ers by just four strokes back in
September.
Curley (a bird/3 pars), Cur-
tis Owen (6 pars), and Krall
(5 pars) were Duxbury’s top
performers with rounds of 40,
topping NQ’s Jeff Alsip’s 42.
Stoddard’s 41, and rounds
of 42 by Magner and freshman
Nick Drago completed the
Duxbury scoring.
In the first of three wins
last week, Stoddard shot a daz-
zling round of 34 that included
a pair of birdies and seven pars
in a 233-269 wipeout of Whit-
man-Hanson.
Magner (a bird/5 pars) and
Krall (a bird/6 pars) turned
the course in 38 strokes, while
Curley (6 pars/40), O’Brien
(5 pars/41), and Drago (3/42
pars) also beat or tied the best
Panther scores.
Now sporting a 15-2 record,
the Dragons face three tough
matches this week, as they get
ready for the South Sectionals,
including a Wednesday after-
noon trip to Barnstable to take
on the Red Raiders.

Freshman football
finds little resistance
A victory over division ri-
vals Hanover (34-6) and Pem-
broke (36-0) the last two weeks
have shown the dominance of
the DHS freshmen football
team, as they continued their
undefeated season that now
stands at 5-0.
The Dragons continue to
showcase their talents and
find multiple ways to score,
as Pembroke witnessed first
hand. Although the score indi-
cates otherwise, the game was
close in the first half.  Duxbury
scored first on a 3-yard run by
Jon Hurvitz that was set up by
his 35-yard run moments earli-
er. Tucker Hannon’s PAT sailed
through the uprights for a quick
7-0 lead.
The accuracy of quarter-
back John Geary was also on
display, much to the dismay of
the Pembroke faithful.  Passes
to Pete DiMartinez, Joe Guil-
foile and Luke Fitzgerald
helped the Dragons offense
move the chains all afternoon.  only making it to midfield.
One of the offensive high-
lights was Geary finding Di-
Martinez in the back of the
end zone for a 40-yard TD. Di-
Martinez’s outstretched hands
and toe-dragging catch were
worthy of an NFL highlight
tape. Sensing another oppor-
tunity, Guilfoile called an au-
dible while lining up for the
PAT. Beautifully executing the
fake kick, he rose off his knee
and tossed a strike to DiMarti-
nez for the two-point conver-
sion for a 15-0 halftime lead.  Owen Grey, Trudeau and
Fitzgerald showed just how
explosive the young Dragons

Titans run away from Dragons
By Mike Halloran, Sports Editor,

They appear headed for a
shot at the Division III state
cross-country crown, so it
wasn’t surprising that Pem-
broke knocked off the once-
beaten Dragons, 20-37, last
Tuesday afternoon on their
home course.
Despite the easy win, Dux-
bury’s Jonathan McKinley
won the boys’ race in 16:22,
just ahead of Pembroke’s Ryan
Kelley and Paul Cina. Lucas
Woyciechowski placed sec-
can be, as he returned a punt
95 yards for an apparent touch-
down in the second half, only
to have it nullified by a penal-
ty.  However, on the next play,
Hurvitz jetted around end for a
45-yard TD. Hannon added the
PAT for a 22-0 lead.
While the offense gave
Duxbury a comfortable lead, it
was now time for the defense
to strut its stuff, as Pembroke
drove deep into Dragon terri-
tory on its next series. Under a
fierce rush from Mark Trudeau,
Marshall McCarthy and Henry
Narlee, the Titan’s QB threw a
desperation pass that landed in
the arms of defensive lineman
James Mattes.  With a wall of
Dragon lineman surrounding
him, Mattes rumbled 85 yards
to the end zone. A winded but
joyous Mattes commented that
the ghosts of East Bridgewater
have finally been exorcised; a
reference to a similar play in
2006 that resulted in Mattes
Hannon’s PAT was good and
the Dragons led 29-0.
Two series later, McCa-
rthy read the eyes of the Titan
passer and stepped in front of
a pass, returning it 20 yards for
the Dragons’ last score.  Han-
non capped the afternoon with
another PAT.
Excellent line play has en-
abled Duxbury’s skill players

DYSA spring tryouts
continue at Lincoln St.
Duxbury Youth Soccer will hold tryouts for any players
interested in placement on one of the top two (“Select”) teams
in the U12 and in the U14 age groups for the upcoming 2010
spring travel season. All age groups, from U10 and older, will
compete in inter-town competitive play in the spring, as part
of Coastal League. However, placement on one of the top two
(“Select”) teams in the U12 and U14 age groups is in part
based on, and requires participation in, the upcoming spring
season tryouts.
The last tryout will be at the Lincoln St. field on Oct. 24 at
the times listed below.
Saturday, Oct. 24:
A second mandatory tryout may be required for any and all
players. Participants will be notified within 48 hours of the first
tryout on Oct. 17 whether they are required to attend a second try-
out on Oct. 24.  Please save this date in the event a tryout is held.
If required, the times of the second tryouts will be as follows:
• Girls Under-14, 8:30-10:30 a.m. (check-in at 8 a.m.)
• Boys Under-14, 10:30-12:30 p.m. (check-in at 10 a.m.)
• Boys Under-12, 1-3 p.m. (check-in at 12:30 p.m.)
• Girls Under-12, 3-5 p.m. (check-in at 2:30pm)
(In order for tryouts to start as scheduled, all candidates must
arrive 30 minutes prior to the scheduled start time to check in
and be assigned a numbered pinney.)
Note: Any player who did not attend the first tryout should
have submitted a letter, signed by parent, to their Age Group
Coordinator within 48 hours of that event, stating why they
were absent.
Tryouts will take place in the rain, unless electrical storms
are present, or unless heavy rains make fields unplayable. In
the event that inclement weather requires rescheduling, tryouts
dates will be moved back by one weekend. All players inter-
ested in trying out must have been registered for the spring
season prior to the try-out date (of Oct. 16). Registration can
be done at duxburyyouthsoccer.org. Contact the Registrar if
you have any registration questions.

Welcome to the Conservatory If you enjoy living in Duxbury, then

By Anne Smith Briggs
Special to the Clipper
’m sure you’ve driven past the lovely
brick building on the corner of King
George and Cedar Streets. It looks
something like a church with a sculpture of a
ballerina out front, in the grassy spot between
the two roads. What is this place?
This is the Ellison Center for the Arts,
home of the South Shore Conservatory and
the Duxbury Art Association. It was once a
church, but since 1996 it has housed a concert
hall and practice rooms, a state-of-the-art
recording studio, art studios and a gallery. It is
an easy walk from the Alden, Middle and High
School campuses, and the sidewalks leading to
Notes from the conservatory
its door are busy with children walking from
school to their music lessons and art classes. It
is the cultural heart of Duxbury.
Open the door and step inside. In the front
lobby you will see parents drinking coffee
while they watch their ballerinas through the
concert hall doors. Five or six children sit on
the sofas, doing their homework while they
wait for their instrument lessons to start. Pam
Cook, the evening registrar, sits behind the
desk in the main office, calling out greetings to
people as they come through the door. Down
the hall to the left, the music of a dozen private
lessons–oboe, electric guitar, piano, saxophone
–drifts out from under the practice room
doors. A drum beat reverberates up the stairs
from the percussion studio in the basement.
You can wander past the work of local artists,
hanging on the walls, and poke your head
in to say hello to Mary Beth Brown, the Art
Association director. Down at the end of the
hall, a Music Together class is letting out, and
a dozen mothers and their children–toddlers,
preschoolers and some babies in their bucket
car seats–swarm the water fountain.
The Conservatory offers dozens of
programs throughout the year in this building:
the José Mateo Ballet Theatre of Cambridge
runs its Young Dancers Program here; there
are music theory classes and drama classes
and classes in acting for film. Suzuki lessons

youngest children a musical head start. The
Conservatory’s resident opera company,
Opera by the Bay, presents fully-staged
performances–they are preparing for their Nov.
7 opening of Amahl and the Night Visitors
right now. The popular Bay Youth Symphony
(BaYS) gives high quality ensemble
performance experience to over a hundred
local student musicians.
The Conservatory is a non-profit
organization dedicated to enriching the lives
of the people in our community. Our mission
is to provide access to quality education in the
arts. We, the faculty members and staff of this
building, believe that the arts are vital to a rich,
well-lived life. The skills we teach are life
lessons: perseverance and self-expression and
teamwork, and that music isn’t just about the
performance, but about the relationships and
experiences we have along the way.
This is a safe, vibrant and creative place.
