The new playground at Patton Park is about to be installed.
The backhoe is there. Some of the equipment has been delivered. And the day has just about arrived. Work is about to get underway to install the new playground at Patton Park. "We should see movement as soon as tomorrow," Town Manager Michael Lombardo told the Board of Selectmen on Monday night. An effort to raise the money for the project has been underway for about two years, with everything from a kids fun run to a buy-a-brick campaign. During the winter, the Friends of Patton Park group reached its $150,000 fundraising goal. Initially, a March groundbreaking had been planned.

Essex County District Attorney Jonathan Blodgett is reminding students and parents about the laws on hosting parties and underage drinking during prom and graduation season.
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 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.

The new system will provide more detailed service alert information via text and email.
If you regularly take the commuter rail to work every day from Hamilton-Wenham station, you likely count on "T Alerts" to update you on delays.

Riders will no longer receive alerts through the current system after it is discontinued on June 4. Through the new system users can opt to receive email or text alerts for a late train or a service interruption, much like the old system. However, the new alerts “will be clearer and more detailed with additional information regarding specific trip times, service schedule changes, and distinct directional, …
