Marion Wells161 viewsMarion’s well field at Mary’s Pond is a work in progress, as three state-of-the-art, 12-inch well pipes with submersible pumps are replacing 26 red-capped pipes that measure 2½ inches in diameter. The network of smaller pipes has been operated by one pump located inside the station building. When completed, Marion expects that upgrades at the East and West well fields and at Mary’s Pond will enable the town to double its water production. See story on Water/Sewer Commissioners.

Vegan150 viewsTo vegan or not to vegan? That was the question taste testers answered when the Mattapoisett Library hosted another chapter of their sustainable initiative programming on February 26. Library Director Jennifer Jones prepared and served vegan substitutes of chicken, hot dogs, sausage, and lunchmeat. The participants nibbled each offering with great anticipation. The overriding takeaway was that some faux meats might be acceptable in a casserole. Photo by Marilou Newell March 3, 2022 edition

Morning Kayaking142 viewsAs with many mornings, not a ripple was seen or felt across Mattapoisett Harbor except those made by kayaker Cecile Callahan as August got underway. More recent tidal interference brought on by tropical storm Henri and the full moon have since receded, leaving us with our own peaceful if dreamy water world again. Photo by Laura McLean.
