HAMILTON — Polls are open from 7 a.m. until 8 p.m. today as voters weigh replacement of the heating system at Cutler School.

The town would have to exceed its normal borrowing limits under Proposition 21âÑ2 to pay the town's $596,000 share of the $1.5 million project.

The state's School Building Authority has promised to reimburse the regional school district $652,000, and Wenham voters will cast their ballots next month on their share of the bill.

Passage of the bill by a simple majority of voters will result in the average property tax bill increasing by between $25 and $35 annually over the 10-year period of indebtedness.

All precincts vote at Winthrop Elementary School, 325 Bay Road.

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.
