BEVERLY — Jerry Parisella has raised nearly three times as much money as Scott Houseman and has outspent him by a more than 2-1 margin in the campaign between the Democratic candidates for state representative, according to campaign finance reports.

Parisella raised $30,045 through the end of August, while Houseman raised $10,741. Parisella outspent Houseman, $17,716 to $7,136.

The list of Parisella donors include Beverly City Councilors Paul Guanci, Wes Slate and Jim Latter; North Shore Community College President Wayne Burton; former Congressman and Hawthorne Hotel owner Michael Harrington; Louise Scanlon, wife of Beverly Mayor Bill Scanlon; and Mary Mavroules, wife of the late Congressman Nick Mavroules. Parisella worked as an aide for Mavroules.

Parisella's biggest expense was the $2,000 he spent for a campaign consultant, Mike McGovern of Lowell.

Houseman received a $500 donation from United Health Care Workers East, a union that represents 300,000 members and retirees in Massachusetts, New York, Maryland and the District of Columbia. Other contributors include former City Councilor Miranda Gooding and Casa de Moda owner Don Preston.

Republican candidate Brett Schetzsle is not required to file his 2010 campaign finance report until Oct. 15 because there is no Republican primary on Tuesday. Schetzsle raised $7,515 in 2009.

Colossal campaign collection

Many know Alan Hartnett as a guy who operates a popular, family-owned car wash and auto body shop on Water Street in Danvers.

Few realize he is really cleaning up when it comes to political memorabilia.
However, in a year when Republicans are furiously vying to unseat President Barack Obama, the political item pickings are few and far between, despite the hundreds of millions that will be spent on campaigns.

6 years and counting, restaurant still on hold

After Mayor Bill Scanlon's State of the City address Monday night, City Council President Paul Guanci asked the question that residents have been asking since 2006.
What's up with the Black Cow?
Guanci was not talking about farm animals or the 1977 Steely Dan song. He was talking about the Black Cow restaurant that was first proposed six years ago this month but has yet to be built.

No water woes for region — yet

Water levels on the North Shore are still close to average but dropping fast due to a recent lack of precipitation.
Up through last night, not a single drop of moisture had fallen in February, and January saw just 2.67 inches. That's almost three-quarters of an inch less than the 30-year average, according to The National Weather Service. In total, the North Shore has received about an inch-and-a-half less precipitation than normal in January and February.
