About 30 downtown business owners pleaded with town officials to keep their businesses afloat while the new drainage pipes are laid along Atlantic Avenue.
The contractor installing the new water drainage pipes beneath the streets of downtown Marblehead compared the project Monday night to a 1,000-piece jigsaw puzzle. That characterization did not reassure the 30 business owners and managers who attended a briefing by the Town Administrator, the fire and police chiefs, the water and sewer commission and the contractor. The business owners came asking for help from the town and the contractor to keep the streets open during the critical summer months so their customers can find a place to park and shop. They learned during the briefing that there may be some days when the project turns off the water to nearby businesses and homes. Mark Cardillo, vice president of J.P. Cardillo & Sons of …

Fifth-graders at the Tower School did a poetry project on the them of "Where I'm From." The responses might surprise and delight you.
Former high school teacher Pat Conaway sees real hope in the young people who help him clean the area's trails, waterways and roadways.
Pat Conaway admits he is "kind of a nut" about the environment, so when he retired from teaching in 2008, it didn't take long for him to find a number of productive ways to spend his time. "I wanted to get people fired up about the environment, to try to encourage citizens to get involved locally," said Conaway, founder of Big Hearts, Little Feet. A nearly constant presence on MetroWest area roadways, trails and waterways, Conaway can be found leading groups of volunteers, including many students, to pick up trash, improve trails and remove invasive species.
