Pond Hockey175 viewsAfter winters so warm that ice could not form or drought so severe that vernal pools, intermittent streams and frog ponds had dried up, the 2022 winter season has proven perfect for outdoor skating. Rainfall throughout the fall and winter seasons has filled up even the smallest depressions with water sufficient to make nature’s skating rinks glisten anew. The old frog pond located just south of Tinkham Hill Road on North Street has been a wintertime favorite for decades. January 27, 2022 edition

She has been serving in the Old Rochester Regional School District over 30 years and says that education has evolved so that children are consumed less with rote instruction and now are learning how to think through creative problem-solving.

Tunnel Trouble167 viewsAn underground tunnel was recently discovered beside the Marion Town House running in the direction of the Elizabeth Taber Library. It was learned that the tunnel extends all the way to the front of Sippican Elementary School. It houses an active sewer line and shows evidence of other functions that could date back to the origins of the buildings. Photo by Mick Colageo - August 5, 2021 edition

Mattapoisett Sunset167 viewsA spectacular sunset is a spectacular sunset anytime of the year, and this one took over southwest Mattapoisett on November 10, only an hour earlier than it would have in October. The afternoons were already getting shorter before the resetting of the clocks dramatically altered our seasonal mindscape under a sun that sits farther and farther south, giving way earlier in the day to big orange moons emerging from the horizon.

Marion Wells166 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.
