The REST of the Story ....

The CCT did a hard-hitting expose of a persistent duck who made numerous attempts to get inside of the Market Basket in Sagamore during yesterday's mid-day breaking news update.  (See story)

Unfortunately, this story just seemed incomplete and left me with far too many unanswered questions:

1)  Was the Duck a former Stop & Shop customer who had become tired of being gouged or was she a former customer of the New Bedford Market Basket pleased at a shortened grocery trip?

2)  Had the Duck been subpoenaed by the Town's attorney in the the Johnson vs. Sandwich lawsuit?  (everyone else has -- including a group of weasels! )

3)  Had the Duck been displaced by recent changes at the Sandwich Community Pool?

4) Would the Duck's emergency generator have worked during an actual emergency?

5) Did anybody alert the Town Clerk that there was an undocumented duck in the area? 

6) Was she collecting signatures to run for School Committee?

7)  Or, was she just duckin’ around?

Never one to miss an opportunity to pile on, the "fact-challenged" Sandwich Enterprise ran its own update later that day:  "A Chicken  was spotted walking into the Stop & Shop on Route 6A in Sandwich today.  Unnamed People have said this wouldn't have happened if we had a new Senior Center, a New Public Safety Building, and a New Library -- all things we could have had if the Town hadn't wasted all of its money building those damned new schools ... 20 years ago!!"

The Truth Maker would ask did you forget the saving of our Town Neck Barrier beach that has been dissolving before every ones eyes?

Many ducks have been wondering if they will be able to use the beach this summer, given all of the present errosion problems from beach walkers?

We will bet that when the discussion gets underway between the four vying for selectmen this year a few feathers may be flying around. The duck may feel a little unsafe with the safety buildings on the verge of going into the sea.

We understand that the SEIC has made arrangements to spend all of the $50,000, but so far the ducks in the pool do not have a clue as to who got the money, another mystery from the way we do business here in Sandwich

The Duck was probably fighting to stay off the dinner table of the Teachers Union President!

The Truth Maker would add that perhaps we should have a duck race in the school pool to see who blowing the most hot air.

Each one, would get there own duck to race and the winner gets to keep the duck
