Despite what some may think, the blizzard of ’78 really was not worse than this. Only once in the last century did we receive more snow than we have with these two recent storms and it wasn’t then. In ’78 the National Guard was called out and the T stopped running . . . for a week, but as DPW Director Joe Lynch pointed out at last Thursday’s meeting of the Board of Selectmen, we now have better technology, better forecasting, better equipment, and better communications. Which is why despite the second heaviest 7 day snowfall on record we were all able to get around within 24 – 48 hours and that’s pretty amazing. So thank you DPW, MPD, and MFD.

Brief bits: Hendries demo extended; Plate seeks liquor license; overdose victim saved; Phil Driscoll moving to DPW
by Frank Schroth
Last night the Board of Selectmen extended the demolition date for the Hendries building to February 24th. It is unlikely that date will be met but the board has opted to go with more frequent extensions as a means of keeping the issue top of mind. Member Keohane said he did not think the building would come down before April or May. Key to getting the building down is a demo permit from the Conservation Commission which neither the town nor Carrick Realty have yet obtained.
